ЩОДО СПІВВІДНОШЕННЯ ЧИННОЇ ТА ПОПЕРЕДНІХ РЕДАКЦІЇ СТАТТІ 209 КРИМІНАЛЬНОГО КОДЕКСУ УКРАЇНИ ТА ОКРЕМІ ПИТАННЯ КВАЛІФІКАЦІЇ ЗА ЦІЄЮ СТАТТЕЮ
Authors: Гладковський М. О.
Published: August 2023

У статті розглянуто питання про співвідношення чинної та попередніх редакцій статті 209 Кримінального кодексу України. Зазначене питання має важливе значення в тих випадках, коли винні особи вчинили злочин, передбачений цією статтею, до набрання чинності Законом України від 6 грудня 2019 року «Про запобігання та протидію легалізації (відмиванню) доходів, одержаних злочинним шляхом, фінансуванню тероризму та фінансуванню розповсюдження зброї масового знищення» (яким стаття 209 Кримінального кодексу України була викладена в чинній редакції), а кримінальне провадження було розпочато або продовжено після набрання чинності цим Законом. За результатами аналізу юридичної літератури та судової практики було встановлено два підходи щодо вирішення питання про співвідношення чинної та попередніх редакцій статті 209 Кримінального кодексу України. Відповідно до першого підходу наявність нового набору ознак в юридичній конструкції основного складу кримінального правопорушення, передбаченого статтею 209 Кримінального кодексу України (у редакції Закону від 6 грудня 2019 року), вказує на те, що в цій редакції визначено новий вид кримінального правопорушення з іншим юридичним складом, ніж у частині першій цієї статті у попередній редакції. Відповідно до другого підходу зміни, які відбулися у зв’язку з викладенням статті 209 Кримінального кодексу України у чинній редакції, на відміну від її попередньої редакції частково змінили зміст відповідної кримінально-правової заборони. Однак більша частина цієї заборони залишилась незмінною. У статті наводяться додаткові аргументи на користь другої позиції та акцентується увага на тому, що немає достатніх підстав говорити про те, що у результаті внесених змін у статті 209 Кримінального кодексу України наразі визначено новий вид кримінального правопорушення з іншим юридичним складом.
ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ВПЛИВУ РЕАБІЛІТАЦІЙНИХ ЗАХОДІВ НА ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ ФУНКЦІЇ ВЕРХНІХ КІНЦІВОК У ХВОРИХ НА РЕВМАТОЇДНИЙ АРТРИТ

Мета роботи – оцінити ефективність впливу реабілітаційних заходів на відновлення функції верхніх кінцівок за динамікою показників сили м’язів та силового індексу пацієнтів з ревматоїдним артритом. Матеріали та методи. Для визначення сили м’язів уражених верхніх кінцівок використовували динамометрію (за допомогою кистьового динамометра). Розраховували силовий індекс (відносний показник сили) у відсотках для оцінки функціональної здатності ураженої кінцівки. Обстежено 188 пацієнтів з ревматоїдним артритом, середній вік яких склав 44,9±7,6 років. Усі хворі були розподілені методом рандомізації на контрольну (n=92) та основну (n=96) групи. Для основної групи була розроблена та впроваджена технологія реабілітаційних заходів тривалістю 6 місяців, що містила такі елементи: терапевтичні вправи, лікувальний масаж і самомасаж, фізіотерапевтичні процедури, гідротерапію, ортезування, кінезіотейпування верхніх кінцівок, механотерапію та психологічну підтримку пацієнта. Результати дослідження. Під час первинного обстеження пацієнтів спостерігалося відхилення початкових показників динамометрії від нормальних значень сили м’язів, що вказувало на розвиток м’язової атрофії. Відмічалося зниження сили уражених суглобів, що підтверджувалося низькими показниками силового індексу та вплинуло на зменшення функціональної здатності верхніх кінцівок. Через 3 місяці у пацієнтів основної групи, що займалися за рекомендованою технологією реабілітаційних заходів, зміни були більш вираженими, ніж у пацієнтів контрольної групи, де показники динамометрії та силового індексу були значно нижчими (р<0,05). Аналіз показників динамометрії після 6 місяців проведених реабілітаційних заходів свідчив про їх достовірне покращення у пацієнтів основної групи. Так, сила м’язів в ураженій правій кінцівці збільшилася з 32,8 кг до 36,6 кг, у лівій – з 28,5±3,5 кг до 32,2 кг (р<0,05). У пацієнтів контрольної групи показники динамометрії були значно нижчими: у правій збільшились з 30,7 кг до 33,2 кг, у лівій – з 25,8 до 28,1 кг. Відповідно відбулося зростання силового індексу правої кінцівки у пацієнтів основної групи з 42,1% до 48,9%, лівої – з 36,2% до 42,1%, що вірогідно більше, ніж у пацієнтів контрольної групи – з 39,3% до 44,5% (права кінцівка) та з 33,4% до 37,8% (ліва кінцівка). Висновки. Розроблена технологія реабілітаційних заходів виявила значно кращий вплив на показники сили м’язів кисті та силового індексу, на відміну від загальноприйнятого відновного лікування. Це виразилось у збільшенні функціональної здатності верхніх кінцівок пацієнтів основної групи, що підтверджує ефективність впроваджених реабілітаційних заходів.

Madrasah is one of the Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia that integrates Islamic education and general education. The birth of madrasah educational institutions is a desire to change existing institutions. The development of madrasah is in line with efforts to adapt and with the existing education system in Islamic boarding schools with general education. Madrasah plays a strategic role in responding to the impact of globalization, creating students with character who can have a strategic role in making social changes that positively impact society. Madrasah, as an educational institution, has a function to carry out social change: (1) develop a cultural analysis of traditional institutions, (2) make changes or modifications in traditional education, (3) make more fundamental changes to traditional institutions that are no longer by the times. Madrasah serves as a place for the process of social change to change whose progress is forward as a centre for shaping and developing the progress of students.

Authors: Subhan Iswahyudi Muhammad , Dannur Moh. , Malini Lubis Fatimah , Muhammadong Muhammadong
Published: August 2023

The goal of this study is to describe the issues that students face when trying to plan their careers, both in school and at work. This study is field research, which means that several high school kids were watched and talked to. The study's results showed that most students had trouble planning their careers because they didn't believe in their own skills and had trouble coming up with ideas or ways to solve problems. Problems: not enough self-confidence, hard to be focused, and hard to take the lead. They don't know much about jobs and have a hard time getting information about jobs after they finish school. Lack of conversation experience, which makes it seem like job talks will be hard, and lack of foreign language skills. It's hard to come up with a list of things that can help with preparing a job. It's hard to get projects done on time, and it's hard for students to do jobs that need good results.

Published: August 2023

Objective: To characterize the agronomic and phytosanitary aspects of the tomato production units of the Comiteca-Tojolabal Plateau, Chiapas, Mexico.Design/Methodology/Approach: A random sampling of n=76 tomato fields was performed; agronomic practice surveys were applied to their respective farmers, and the phytosanitary status of each site was evaluated.Results: Tomatoes are grown in shade houses, in plots that mostly do not exceed 0.5 ha. The most common practices are crop rotation, one tomato cycle per year, incorporation of previous crop residues, and fertilization every 5-8 days. For phytosanitary management, foliar sprays are usually performed every 5-8 days. In order to prevent diseases and pests, 67% of producers pre-treat seedlings and 95% apply bactericides and fungicides to the roots during the first 45 days of the crop. The most important pests and diseases are whitefly, thrips, Bactericera sp., late blight, virosis, and wilt. The percentage of plants that suffer from root and vascular diseases ranges from 0-38%. However, low values were more frequent. The regional severity of wilting is low, since 90% of the plants evaluated did not present symptoms.
Study Limitations/Implications: This is the first work to describe the agronomic and phytosanitary aspects of tomato cultivation in this region. Additional research with this approach is required and this work will be the basis for further studies.Findings/Conclusions: Most of the tomato farms have less than 0.5 ha and their farmers carry out intensive phytosanitary management with pesticides. In addition to chemical control, the cultural practices used may contribute to a low incidence and severity of soil-borne diseases. The most important crop diseases are late blight and virosis.

Published: August 2023

Objective: Analyze the projects on aquatic species financed by CONAHCYT through the information provided by the Transparency Units (TU) of the public research centers (PRC) CIBNOR, CICESE and CIAD.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The information was requested from the TUs of the centers through the official email of the TUs. The TUs sent the information, and it was organized in spreadsheets for later analysis. For the analysis, only the projects financed by CONAHCYT were considered and the following were selected: the year the project began, the technical manager, the species or species that were the main object of the project, and the amount approved.
Results: The projects financed in the timeline established by each center are shown, as well as the amounts approved, the responsible researchers and the species addressed. Native species are the ones that have obtained the most financed projects, although part of the budget has been applied to invasive alien species. The social incidence is perceptible in some of the financed projects, although it has been a characteristic that has been fairly attended.
Study limitations/Implications: The research has been limited to the information provided by the TUs of PRCs. If more information exists, it is not available through this route.
Findings/Conclusions: The three PRCs propose projects that are mostly on native aquatic species. There has been a decrease in the number of projects funded. The social incidence is barely perceptible in the projects proposed and financed by CONAHCYT.

Positive Solutions of Neumann Boundary Value Problems and Applications to Logistic Type Population Models
Authors: Cai Ziyi
Published: August 2023

We study the existence of nonzero nonnegative or strictly positive solutions of second order Neumann boundary value problems with nonlinearities which are allowed to take negative values via a recently established fixed point theorem for r-nowhere normal-outward maps in Banach spaces. For applications, we obtain results on the existence of strictly positive solutions for some models of population inhabiting one dimensional heterogeneous environments with perfect barriers, where the local rate of change in the population density changes sign. 
Design and Analysis of a Hybrid Segmented Sliding Panel Morphing Skin System
Authors: Yu Aaron
Published: August 2023

This thesis presents a rigid morphing skin that is designed to enclose an underlying morphing mechanism and serve as a reliable load bearing protective cover for the enclosed mechanism. The morphing skin, named the passive panel skin system, is a series of geometrically discretized telescopic panels enveloping the underlying morphing mechanism. These panels are connected to the morphing mechanism through a set of linkage systems and each panel can passively reorient with respect to the shape changes of the morphing mechanism. The passive motion of the skin system is governed by constraint equations that correspond to the parallelism and gap distance among adjacent panels.

Two main problems have been solved in this thesis: kinematic modeling and force modeling of the proposed system. The kinematic modeling describes the passive panel motion through the simultaneous evaluation of nonlinear constraint equations. The number of the said equations is 3 times the number of panel pairs. The complexity of the kinematic model increases as panel discretization becomes finer. Although the passive panel skin system does not incur additional forces during morphing, there is however an inherent aerodynamic and mechanical gap issue. To solve this, a smart material named shape- memory polymer (SMP) is applied to join the adjacent panels and form a gapless morphing skin. Since SMP is a hyperelastic material, a nonlinear modeling method is applied to model the flexible joints of the gapless panel skin. A force model is developed to address the incurred forces from flexible joints. The model correlates the forces and moments of each joint to the actuation forces of the morphing mechanism. This model helps determine the additional force required from the actuators of the morphing mechanism to achieve the companion motion of the morphing skin as described in the kinematic model of the morphing mechanism. The force model is implemented over a modified workspace that simulates the panel enclosed morphing mechanism.

The contributions made in this thesis on kinematic and force model of the passive panel skin system set a foundation for the development of a full morphing system consisting of a morphing mechanism and a morphing skin.
Autonomous, Landmark-Based Optical Navigation for Lunar Missions
Authors: Pons Lorenzo
Published: August 2023

In this project a simulation framework based on an existing landmark-based optical navigation solution is proposed. A self-contained library is built based on an existing algorithm for the measurement of absolute and relative landmarks and on the Extended Kalman Filter for the spacecraft state estimation. In this work, the measurements fusion strategy of the filter is improved. When a known landmark is detected and matched in a catalog, the measurement of its position is fused with the measurement of the apparent change of rate of an unknown landmark. Until the next absolute landmark is detected and matched, the navigation filter relies only on measurements of relative landmarks to limit the growth of state covariance of the estimation filter due to external perturbations. The framework is evaluated against the orbit determination requirements of the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. The public availability of high-precision spacecraft ephemeris for the low-altitude orbit and the optical parameters of the wide angle camera that is used to map the lunar surface, makes this mission a perfect candidate to successfully evaluate this autonomous navigation solution. 
Sun Sensor Geolocalization System: Field Testing and Navigational Application
Authors: Jevnikar Jeffrey
Published: August 2023

This thesis presents a sun sensor and inclinometer-based geolocalization system intended for mobile robots. Using only the on-board sensors, combined with solar ephmeris information, terrestrial location and heading estimates are generated. This concept is validated using a post-processing approach, with field test data collected from an instrumentation package developed for this research. Simulations of this system are created to show potential performance with improved hardware. This sun sensor geolocalization system is then applied to an aided wheel odometry-based relative positioning framework. A novel algorithm, Fused Wheel Odometry, is proposed. This algorithm is designed to provide heading information during a mobile robot traversal, followed by an absolute localization update. Simulated data is used to show the improvements of this algorithm over typical aided wheel odometry methodologies. Potential applications of this geolocalization and aided wheel odometry system are explored, showing how this navigational approach could be incorporated into a typical rover mission.

The rising prevalence of patients living with kidney disease and the recognition of the huge environmental impact of kidney care (mainly dialysis treatments) points to the unsustainability of nephrology in the near future, which has forced the nephrology field to define its sustainability as a priority for this century. In order to face this issue, nephrologists need to recognize the dimension of the environmental footprint of their activities and what topics are associated with a bigger carbon footprint or resource consumption. Nephrologists should be in the center and the driving force for the changes needed.

Introduction: Healthcare services have a significant environmental impact (EI). The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease makes nephrology one of the clinical areas with higher EI. The aim of this study was to document Portuguese nephrologists’ current practice regarding environmental sustainability. Methods: Two surveys were developed: one for chiefs of departments and another for all nephrologists registered in the Portuguese Society of Nephrology. Results: There were 153 responders (25.5% response rate): 17 (11%) were chiefs of departments, 36 (23.5%) nephrologists in coordination roles, 60 (39%) nephrologists and 40 (26%) nephrology fellows. The median priority attributed to environmental sustainability was 4 (IQR 3-5). Only one department had established a green group, but 13 were currently undertaking at least one green project (76.5%). Only 6% of responders (8/136) had received formal training on this topic, but more than 90% would like to have more information. The most reported barriers to environmental sustainability practices were inadequate information, lack of adequate facilities, concerns about security and legal norms. Only two facilities (11.8%) declared that environmental sustainability was considered in procurement decisions. More than 70% of the Units did not have regular access to any kind of environmental sustainability audit. Only 3 surveyed units (17.6%) have set up systems to reuse the reverse osmosis rejected water and only half had local on-line dialysate production (9/17, 53%). Conclusion: Portuguese nephrologists wish to incorporate environmental sustainability in their daily practice, however there is a big gap between their intention and current behavior, likely because of the identified barriers.
The Evaluation of the S1 Students’ Frequency Use of Reading Comprehension Strategies and Familiarity with them: A Case Study at the Faculty of Languages, Literature and Art, Ibn Tofail University, Kenitra, Morocco
Authors: EL MALIHI ANOUAR
Published: August 2023

The most challenging skill for S1 university students in the EFL context is Reading comprehension. This may be due to the lack of possessing the necessary reading comprehension strategies that would help them to understand English texts efficiently. In this respect, this study is first intended to determine the relationship between the frequency of use of reading-comprehension strategies and the students’ familiarity with them before and after completing the usual curriculum of reading comprehension course. Furthermore, this study also attempts to evaluate the effect of the S1 students’ familiarity with and frequency of use of reading comprehension strategies on their performance in reading comprehension tasks. A sample of 85 University students in EFL context was chosen, but only 73 of them filled in the questionnaire and completed their pre-test and post-test. All of these 73 students attended the usual reading curriculum without any special treatment. The findings of the study indicate that the students’ awareness and frequency of use do not show any improvement as the S1 students completed their usual reading comprehension courses. Another major finding is that reading strategies frequency use and familiarity with them show no correlation with the students’ performance while taking both the pre-test and post-test. Therefore, the fact that S1 students show no development of both their use and awareness of reading comprehension strategies after completing the usual reading comprehension course and also no improvement in their performance can be explained by the ineffective training that they underwent during Semester 1 of their English studies journey. In other words, the students’ high or low scores in reading comprehension courses are not determined by their familiarity with reading comprehension strategies or their frequency use. Thus, researchers on education are urged to hold studies that shall investigate the teaching of reading comprehension strategies in the usual curriculum and how they should be taught efficiently.

Published: August 2023

Reading is one of the most challenging language skills for elementary school students. To obtain a literacygrasp of reading English texts, appropriate learning tactics and approaches are required. This study aimsto explore the scaffolding strategy and the students’ perception on the strategy they used to understandreading text. The study used the descriptive method by collecting data from interviews and questionnaires.Twenty-nine students were given questionnaires to know the impact and usefulness of the Scaffolding.Observation and interviews were used to see the situation in the learning process. Data collected wasanalyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. Based on the result, there are three types of strategies,namely the pre-reading stage, the reading stage, and the post-reading stage. The types of Scaffoldinggiven by the teacher are Modeling, Bridging, Contextualizing, Schema Building, and Metacognition. Itindicates that scaffolding strategy helps the student pronounce the words and understand the meaning.The study implies that the scaffolding technique is expected to be a reference material and choice forevery teacher in learning to read and understand English texts. Scaffolding is a structured learning supporttechnique used at an early stage to encourage students to learn independently.
JUXTAPOSITION OF RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION AND TERRORISM UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW
Authors: Selamat Farzanah , Abd Rahman Shah Hendun , Mohamad Ali Norfadhilah
Published: August 2023

The right to self-determination is one of the jus cogens law under the international law which denotes the legal right of people to decide their political, economic and social affairs within their borders of a territory. The right essentially gives a license for the people to use force legally in exercising their right to self-determination. However, with the absence of a universally accepted definition on the term terrorism, an issue has been raised on designing National Liberation Movement as terrorist. Therefore, this study is conducted to examine how designing National Liberation Movement as terrorist impacted the exercising of the right to self-determination. The study analyses relevant legal laws and jurist opinions on the issues at hand using a library-based methodology. The result of this study reveals that despite provision for countering international terrorism, the current counterterrorism law is influenced by States municipal law. With a liberal power to define, states have been recorded to design National Liberation Movement as terrorist group to allow them to used municipal law against National Liberation Movement.

In this study, we present a new cryptosystem named Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) secret writing with the Laplace transform of the Mittag-Leffler function. The method is proper for encrypting large files. In this technique, we consider the original message as binary sequence. These binary streams corresponding to the plain text is transformed to DNA bases by utilizing DNA encoding, then the DNA codes are transformed to positive integers. We apply the Laplace transform to these numbers which are coefficients of the expansion of the Mittag-Leffler function. To provide multi-stage protection, the outcome coefficients are transformed to binary sequences and other level of encryption with cumulative XOR is applied and equivalent MSBs obtained at every iteration are utilized for building cipher text. Decryption is implemented in the opposite way. We employ monobit test, correlation analysis for measuring the reliability of encryption, and Python programming language to obtain secret message, the plain text, and computations of statistical tests.

The technological method of isolation of queen bees lies in more reasonable ways of using the potential of working bees, increasing their life expectancy, obtaining strong flying bees and also increasing the honey collection. The study of optimal terms of isolation of queen bees, their reproductive activity, characteristics of biological connections between physiological state of bees and collecting carbohydrate food in varying natural and climatic conditions is of particular practical and scientific interest. In the presented work the data of experimental studies on influence of isolation of queen bees on their reproductive capacity and honey productivity of the bee colony was provided. The goal was to study the reproductive function of isolated queen bees by accounting the brood through the beekeeping season. Methods of research. Zootechnical (selection of groups of analogues, growth accounting, the strength of the bee colony), analytical (analysis of literature data and results of research) and statistical (biometric processing of experimental data). Biometric data processing was performed on a PC using MS Excel software with the use of built-in statistical functions. Results. After the isolation, the queen bees of the research groups were characterized by low egg-laying capacity and started to lay eggs immediately after their release from isolation cage. From the end of June till the end of July the queen bees of all groups gradually increased egg-laying and by the end of accounting reduced their reproductive activity. This behavior of queen bees is primarily connected with the period of season. Therefore, the studies found that isolation has not affected the physiological changes in the reproductive system of queen bees and subsequently the strength of the bee colonies. Conclusions. On the terms of research it has been proven that technological method of isolation of queen bees during the period of honey collection up to 20 days can be successfully applied. Moreover, the use of such technological method as isolation of queen bees during the period of honey collection makes it possible to increase the productivity of queen bees.

Purpose. Creation of mining and geological models of virtual complex ore blocks of a bench to develop a basic methodology for determining the geological structure of complex structural sections of mineral deposits. Methodology. In the scientific and technical substantiation of mining and geological, mining and technical indicators of complex structural blocks in terms of ore saturation and complexity of the morphological structure of blocks of ledges, methods of complex and abstract-logical analysis, synthesis, systematization, the method of theoretical generalization, generalization of information sources and world experience in the field of geoinformation of complex structural deposits, statistical analysis, mathematical modeling, mining and geological modeling of mineral deposits were applied. Findings. Mining and geological models of virtual complex structure ore blocks (CSOB) of the bench have been created. The mining and geological characteristics of the blocks are analytically interconnected with the geometric parameters of the scattered ore bodies and the dimensions of the layer of admixed rock or lost ore. They determine the degree of complexity of the geological structure of the CSOB. According to the given sizes and location of disparate solid and dispersed ore bodies of virtual complex structural blocks, the numerical values of the mining and geological characteristics of ore blocks were calculated using the developed method. CSOB are subdivided into more ore-saturated, moderately ore-saturated, less ore-saturated as well as complex structural and more complex structural ones. Originality. For the first time in mining, the concepts of “virtual complex-structural ore blocks of a bench” and “mining and geological models of virtual complex-structural ore blocks of a bench” have been introduced. The set of geometrical parameters of the scattered ore bodies of the block and their mining and geological characteristics are presented as mining and geological models of the virtual CSOB of the bench. The developed models make it possible to establish patterns of changes in the mining and geological characteristics of complex ore blocks. Practical value. The developed mining and geological models of virtual complex structural blocks serve as the basis for creating mining and geological models of real complex ore blocks, models of CSOB in a blasted state. They will make it possible to develop a methodology for rationing losses and impoverishment of ores for real complex-structural blocks, to choose rational parameters for mining technologies for disparate ore bodies in specific mining and geological conditions, and to expand the use of waste-free, low-waste technologies in the development of complex-structural mineral deposits.

Published: August 2023

The main factor that affects the efficiency of the separation process is the lack of contact with the surface of the shutter when moving in the flow of small droplets of wet steam. This process depends on the physical and chemical properties of the wet vapor, the dispersion of the droplets, the parameters of the movement of the two-phase medium, adhesion and edge angle, and the geometry of the channel. Purpose. Determination of the limit modes of operation of separation shutter devices depending on the dispersion and quantity of droplet liquid, flow parameters and geometric characteristics of curved channels. Methodology. The methodology is based on the analysis of the physical model of the movement of a two-phase medium under the action of mass and gravitational forces in a curved horizontal channel. Findings. A mathematical model is presented for determining the trajectory of a liquid droplet in a curvilinear corrugation channel of the louvered package of a separator-superheater. The main conditions of film destruction and dynamic droplet break-up are defined. A method for expanding the range of stable operation of separation devices is proposed. Based on the obtained correlations, the design of the blind package is optimized. Originality. Based on the analysis of the physical model of the movement of a two-phase medium in a curved horizontal channel, a mathematical model was developed and the limit of capture of the dispersed phase was determined. Practical value. The presented results allow optimization of separation devices of boiler drums, horizontal steam generators and steam superheater separators of the II circuit of VVER-1000, fuel preparation systems of GTU.

Published: August 2023

Purpose. Justification of a structural construction and parameters of a regression model for the normalization of specific energy consumption when controlling the production process energy efficiency. Methodology. Analysis of the peculiarities of energy efficiency control of the production process in conditions of frequent and significant changes in specific energy consumption, followed by the determination of the structure and parameters of the regression model. Findings. Based on the presence of frequent and significant changes in the energy efficiency control of the production process, the reasonableness of normalizing the specific energy consumption by using the regression model with a variable structure is substantiated. The actual daily specific energy consumption indicators, obtained during the month to control energy consumption efficiency and build the regression model of the variable structure, are used. The limited possibilities for the formation of voluminous statistical samples with homogeneous data, and the complexity and laboriousness of measuring a significant number of influence parameters make it necessary to reduce the number of explanatory variables of the regression model. The feasibility of using the value of the output volume, as a comprehensive characteristic of the level of energy consumption, is proven. The acceptability of the application of linear and non-linear univariate regression dependencies is determined. The nonlinear model, as a result of reducing the linear model of energy consumption to a nonlinear form characteristic of the values of its specific consumption, is obtained. Originality. For the first time, the use of the regression model of the variable structure for the normalization of specific energy consumption in conditions of frequent and significant changes in the energy efficiency of the production process, which helps to increase the accuracy of their determination, is proposed. The need to reduce the number of explanatory variables of the regression model is proven. The expediency of using linear or non-linear one-factor regression dependencies in the given conditions of energy efficiency control, which helps to simplify the procedure of registering the initial data for their construction, is confirmed. Practical value. The scientific results of the performed studies allow for taking into account the peculiarities of the production conditions when determining the structure and parameters of the regression model for normalizing the specific energy consumption. This contributes to increasing the accuracy and energy efficiency control of the production process.

Purpose. To improve the methods for assessing the routes of transportation of containers by transit railway administrations. Methodology. The results of the presented scientific research were obtained on the basis of general methods of cognition such as abstract-logical analysis, systematization, the method of theoretical generalization, as well as on the basis of special methods of economic and mathematical modeling, the theory of railway operation and transport geography. Findings. In the course of the study, an analysis was made of the transport network of the Eurasian continent as a whole and the railway transport network of Kazakhstan, as part of it, in particular. An assessment was made of the socio-economic development of the regions, transportation between which can potentially be carried out through the territory of Kazakhstan. Indicators of the duration and cost of shipping containers by sea and rail between East Asia and Europe have been established. An assessment of the competitiveness of container transportation routes passing through the territory of Kazakhstan in comparison with alternative routes was made. Originality. In this paper, the method for estimating the routes of transportation of containers by transit railway administrations has been improved. Unlike existing methods, the assessment of the duration of transportation is carried out throughout the entire length of transportation “from door to door”. Also, the paper proposes to evaluate the effectiveness of railway routes, taking into account the service of the entire territory through which they pass, and not just the starting and ending points. Practical value. The results of the research allow railway administrations to improve the efficiency of planning the development of transit container traffic on different routes. The regions for which the railways of Kazakhstan can compete with maritime transport both in terms of price and in terms of the speed of transportation for the entire container traffic, as well as regions for which competition can be carried out only for the market share of transportation in containers of valuable and perishable goods, have been established.
