Abstract. Zooplankton are a key component of food webs in upwelling systems. Their distribution is affected not only by mesoscale and climate dynamics, but also by topography and local currents. Submarine canyons that cut the continental shelf can act as conduits that transport deep nutrient-rich waters to shallower areas, promoting coastal biological productivity. Consequently, canyons facilitate the advection and accumulation of zooplankton. We aimed to describe the spatio-temporal variability in zooplankton distribution (from net samples and acoustic data) and their association with local currents, in a long and narrow submarine canyon located in the highly productive continental shelf of central Chile. The backscattering strength (Sv), a proxy for zooplankton biomass, was highly variable at a diurnal and spatial scale. Higher Sv and abundances were found during nighttime, following the classic diel vertical migration pattern. Zooplankton was not uniformly distributed within the canyon. In the surface and mid-depth layers, the canyon walls accumulated more zooplankton than the center of it, specially during the night. Within the canyon, the currents were asymmetrical and frequently changed direction. When the positive along-canyon current was more intense in the northern than in the southern slope, Sv was also higher to the north. This pattern was clearer in the section closer to the canyon head. We show that submarine canyons are highly dynamic environments where conditions can rapidly change and currents revert. Our findings suggest a possible mechanism for zooplankton retention based on the asymmetry of canyon currents and the changes in horizontal zooplankton distribution.
“We Deserve the Dignity of Being Housed”: LGBTQ2+ Housing Experiences in Fresno County, California
Authors: Fobear Katherine
Published: February 2025

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2+) adults experience homelessness and housing precarity at greater rates than their cisgender and heterosexual counterparts. Although LGBTQ2+ adult individuals make up a significant portion of the homeless population, the oppression and barriers they experience are often invisiblized. Research on LGBTQ2+ housing experiences and homelessness in the United States has predominantly focused on individuals in larger urban centers and on homeless LGBTQ2+ youth. This study focuses on the housing experiences of LGBTQ2+ adults living in Fresno, California.  The City of Fresno and Fresno County are situated within the Central Valley, a largely rural area with limited resources that has one of the fastest-growing poverty rates in the state. Understanding LGBTQ2+ adult housing experiences not only provides critical insight into the housing barriers in Fresno but also provides a template for similar research in other mixed urban and rural areas. Using empirical data, this study provides a deeper understanding regarding queer precarity and ontological security surrounding housing and LGBTQ2+ communities.

Published: February 2025

En modelos in vitro, se ha demostrado que la desconexión del cuffómetro del balón piloto de dispositivos de vía aérea artificial genera pérdidas de presiones. Ello, puede contribuir al paso de contenido hacia la vía aérea inferior, que aumenta el riesgo de desarrollo de neumonía aspirativa. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si el uso de la llave de tres pasos evita la pérdida de presiones del cuff al desconectar el cuffómetro del balón piloto en pacientes adultos traqueostomizados. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo, observacional y transversal, que incluyó a 10 sujetos hospitalizados y traqueostomizados, entre abril y julio de 2024, en el Hospital San Juan de Dios de Santiago de Chile. Se utilizó llave de tres pasos, cuffómetro análogo y digital durante el procedimiento de medición de tres presiones: 20, 30 y 25 cmH2O (P1, P2 y P3). Se registraron las presiones iniciales de insuflación y finales a la desconexión del cuffómetro análogo. Para este estudio, valores p no significativos se consideraron favorables. Ello, porque se esperaba que no existieran cambios de presión inicial y final estadísticamente significativos. El proyecto fue aprobado por un Comité Ético Científico. Para P1, P2 y P3 hubo una diferencia de presión de 0,3; 0,5 y 0,0 cmH2O respectivamente. No hubo pérdida significativa de presión del cuff al desconectar el cuffómetro de la llave de tres pasos. Esta válvula podría ser de efectividad durante el manejo de pacientes con vía aérea artificial. Es mandatorio continuar con esta línea de investigación.

Published: February 2025

The growing competition in the skincare industry has prompted brands to adopt eco-friendly labeling to attract environmentally conscious consumers and promote global sustainability efforts. This study focused on how natural skincare advertisements use green advertising strategies to promote their product. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing how three skincare brands, Sukin, From This Island, and Oasea, employ eco-linguistic elements in their Instagram advertisements. The research highlights the role of social media, particularly Instagram, as a key platform for disseminating eco-friendly messages to a global audience. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the data were collected from visual and textual components, including slogans, captions, and logos. To analyze the eco-linguistics element in Sukin, From This Island, and Oasea, this research used Green Advertising Theory by Banerjee et al and Marsh and White’s theory. The findings revealed that the brands effectively have used green advertising strategies to attract consumers. The result of this research contributes to understanding how language and visuals shape consumer perceptions of environmental issues, offering insights for marketers to design campaigns that resonate with eco-conscious audiences.
IMPLEMENTATION OF INDUCTIVE PROCESSES IN GENERAL-PURPOSE EQUIPMENT TO ENHANCE HEAT TRANSFER PROCEDURES
Authors: Turcanu Adrian , Nucă Ilie
Published: February 2025

The paper explores the energy efficiency of general-purpose installations, particularly the equipment used in espresso coffee production, and the unique functions of hydraulic systems. By applying eco-design principles and innovative, efficient solutions, the negative impact on the environment can be significantly reduced, transforming citizens into eco-consumers. The study aimed to explore ways to decrease energy consumption in hydraulic systems of standard installations, particularly in heat transfer processes in solids and liquids, which account for up to 97% of energy consumption in such installations. An innovative solution is presented that converts electric energy into heat in liquids using inductive heat transfer. The instant heating inductive boiler, based on inductive heat transfer phenomena, eliminates the convective and conductive heat transfer losses associated with the operation of the boiler with the resistive heating element. The design methodology for dimensioning this type of equipment is provided, and the simulation model for necessary verifications in MatLab Simscape is created. With its practical benefits, the new inductive boiler reduces the preheating period to 7.5 s compared to the 90 s of systems with resistive heating elements, thereby eliminating the need to keep the coffee machine at operating temperatures during breaks and providing a reliable solution for energy efficiency.

Comparative Analysis of Project Management Software: Functionality, Usability, and Integration for Modern Workflows
Authors: Md Alamgir Miah
Published: February 2025

This research aims at determining the suitability of the trending PM tools; Microsoft Project, Jira, Trello, and Asana based on the functionality, security, usability and cost needs of different organisations. The study reveals that while Microsoft Project and Jira offer better-developed features, their complexity and cost make them more suitable for large companies. On the other hand, Trello and Asana have simple and easy to use interface, which is suitable for small and medium sized business and also they are less costly, but they lack the depth of features and security features which may be required by some large companies or companies in some highly regulated industries. In addition, the study reveals an increasing interest in flexible PM tools that support different methodologies and have security measures to meet the data protection challenges of cloud projects. The results of this study imply that PM tool selection criteria should be matched to particular organisational capability, weighing utility, security, and cost. The study also suggests new tendencies concerning further developments such as the demand for PM solutions that are suitable for Agile and Waterfall methodologies concurrently, as well as the need for more elastic pricing strategies
THE CONCESSIVE PERSPECTIVE IN APOLOGY SPEECH ACTS IN AMERICAN-ENGLISH AND BULGARIAN SPOKEN DISCOURSE
Authors: PENEVA Deyana
Published: February 2025

The paper deals with the syntactic and lexical-semantic examination of the markers of concession extracted from two TV debate formats in American-English and Bulgarian, which were identified and analysed within the frames of the complex sentence structure. A further point of interest is the investigation of the concessive relations recognized within the scope of expressive speech acts, apologies in particular, as we aim to discuss to what extent the concessive perspective may affect their pragmatic performance. In this respect, the relevance of the paper arises from the rapid development of integrated cross-cultural studies in the sphere of communicative acts and the significance of new interpretations of pragmatic matters in spoken discourse.
IMPLICAȚII PSIHOLOGICE ALE UTILIZĂRII DIMINUTIVELOR ÎN POEZIA ARGHEZIANĂ
Authors: ILUȚ Silvia
Published: February 2025

The objective of the present work is to identify the psychological and affective motivations of the use of diminutives in Arghezi’ poetry. The approach will be mainly deductive, as we endeavour to start our investigation from the semantic functions of diminutive constructions and then investigate the psychological effects of the use of diminutives specific to Arghezi’s poetry.
The research is based on a multifaceted analysis, as we suggest a different approach on Tudor Arghezi’s texts, across a triple perspective: semantic, psychoanalytic and contextual-connotative.
The methodology of the present study is specific to several fields of study, such as semantics, stylistics, psychology and literary theory. The corpus of the study is taken from the literary works of Tudor Arghezi.

Bookishness as a way of preserving historical memory
Authors: Lyutov S.N
Published: February 2025

Actualisation of problems related to the preservation of historical
memory implies an appeal to the established mechanisms of fixing
information, accumulated knowledge and social experience for repeated transmission to subsequent generations. Undoubtedly, a book
is one of the most universal keepers of historical memory, but in
the current conditions, when traditional books are at high risk, they
remain less of a priority than large-scale museum expositions, game
historical reconstructions, projects to recreate «places of memory»,
etc. At the same time, without reference to historical information
preserved in books, most of these projects would remain unrealised.

Architectural treatises of the 18th century in libraries of Belarus
Authors: Bazhenova O.D.
Published: February 2025

The article actualises the importance of collections of architectural
tracts in the collections of old printed books in the libraries of Belarus. Six treatises from the theoretical heritage of the French neoclassicist architect Jacques François Blondel (1705–1774), professor atthe Royal Academy of Architecture, a leading theorist of the French
school of architecture of the mid–18th century, are presented as an
example. The books not only contain elegant text with detailed and
careful analyses of architectural problems and architectural monuments of France of the 17th century, but also represent rare engravings. The aestheticism of these editions is not inferior to the scientific significance of the arguments they contain, which actualise for
modern art history the hitherto unresolved problems of the formation
of regional architectural schools. It is shown that library collections
preserve not just museum material, but living and actively perceived
by architectural historians’ analytical sources.

The Effect of Academia-Industry Linkages for Sustainable Employment. The Mediating Role of Funding
Authors: William Asamoah-Appiah,
Published: February 2025

The study's main goal was to ascertain how funding influences university-industry linkages and how it influences sustainable employment. The research design was triangulation (mixed method). The targeted population consisted of CCTU lecturers (N=175) with a sample of n=120 and 5 managers selected from organisations which has collaborated with CCTU. The Cochran sample size formula was used to determine the appropriate sample size. Stratification was the sampling technique used, and the respondents were chosen using a simple random method. The SEM-PLS (v. 4) and IBM SPSS software (v. 27) were used to analysed the data. The main findings were that university-industry linkages have a statistically significant positive direct effect on sustainable employability (UIL->SE, β=0.898, (95% CI:0.862, 0.927), t=55.03, p>0.05; R2=0.806). It was estimated that university-industry linkages accounted for an 80.6% effect on sustainable employment. Nevertheless, university-industry linkages still have a significant positive effect on sustainable employability when mediated through funding. (UIL->FUN->SE, β=0.872 and 0.278 (95% CI:0.862, 0.927), t=3.696, p˂0.05; R2 = 0.825. The model accounted for an 82.5% indirect effect when funding mediated between the studied variables. Again, the level of linkages is low; hence, there is a gap between the requisite manpower needs and technology transfer. At CCTU, student internships, workshop seminars, publications and reports, training courses, and consulting services were the main collaborations. The main sustainable skills for employability were personal qualities, core skills, and subject knowledge. It was recommended that the government should fund university-industry partnerships and that universities should intensify linkage programs and budget for linkage programs. Universities should collaborate with industry and NGOs to secure funding through joint research. Since linkages are low, the supervising authorities of the tertiary institutions should enforce the implementation of linkages policies in all universities.
SOCIAL ASPECTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION CHOICE BY KAZAKHSTANI SCHOOL GRADUATES: A SOCIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT
Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, SHNARBEKOVA Meruyert
Published: February 2025

The article analyses educational plans and higher education choices by school graduates from different school types, such as private (fee-based) and public (free of charge) schools. Theoretical analysis of social aspects of higher education choice within categorical and modernist approaches is presented. The research aims to understand how graduates from private and public schools make their decisions about higher education. The results of structured interviews conducted with school graduates are presented. The sample contains school graduates representing different socio-economic groups. Respondents are graduates from urban and rural areas, private (paid) and public, general and advanced schools. The sample size is 150. During the research, it was determined that the decision to choose a higher education institution depends on the family’s socio-economic status. The higher the family’s socio-economic status, the more ambitious the choice of a school graduate becomes. On the one hand, the process of higher education choice is formed based on the principle of rationality considered in economic theories and, on the other hand, based on social opportunities and limitations defined in sociological theories. Thus, school graduates try to make rational decisions considering social opportunities. The research aims to find out how social opportunities and constraints affect school graduates’ higher education choices.

Published: February 2025

In the oil and gas industry, investigating anomalies is crucial to prevent production losses, avert environmental accidents, and reduce maintenance costs. This study explores a density-based unsupervised machine learning model, the Local Outlier Factor (LOF), to detect anomalies in subsea production/injection wells through sensors. Experiments were conducted on real cases of wells with operational failures, focusing on all nine well anomalies defined in the public 3W database, with its most recent update called 3W 2.0. After developing the model, the proposed approach achieved satisfactory performance, with an average F1 score of 0.9511 for the nine anomalies studied, a result superior to the ones offered by other existing models in the literature. These results confirm that the proposed model, despite being a simple architecture, is effective in identifying unexpected events in a time series.

Numerous criteria are in place for social network applications. They require identification of network's core nodes. Traditional centrality measurements focus on specific node's direct connections or reachability. Often this disregards inherent ambiguity and complexity in real-world social networks. To address these constraints, we have introduced new method called Node Pack Fuzzy Information Centrality based on Pythagorean Neutrosophic Fuzzy Theory. Three essential values truth, falsity and indeterminacy have been added to this approach. This new approach provides a thorough depiction of social networks and it also offers a more sophisticated comprehension of connections between nodes. Complex and ambiguous interactions between entities can be effectively expressed using Pythagorean Neutrosophic values. Unlike traditional values, Pythagorean Neutrosophic values consider several uncertainty dimensions; this is a major improvement over traditional fuzzy value. Our approach handles relational complexity well and it includes self-weight for every node too. It represents each node's unique value, significance, or impact on the network. The network assessment is now more precise and contextual so we can assess centrality with greater precision. We applied this approach to a small academic network called university facultyresearchers. The application of Node Pack Fuzzy Information Centrality yielded promising results. It can enhance various activities associated with social network analysis. It can also offer valuable insights into the network architecture.
Ecological and evolutionary consequences of ecosystem warming in fish
Authors: Niu Jingyao
Published: February 2025

Climate warming forces ectothermic organisms to shift their spatial or temporal distribution, acclimatize or adapt to new thermal conditions to survive. Fish, as key ectotherms with significant ecological roles and socio-economic values, have been widely studied in this context. However, whether warming induces evolution in wild fish populations over time, and if so, how such evolutionary effects can impact the community and ecosystem more broadly remain largely unknown.

In this thesis, I investigated the effects of ecosystem-warming on fish by comparing traits and genomes of Eurasian perch from an artificially heated area with those from a neighbouring unheated area over four decades. Long-term trait data analyses showed that perch mature earlier and at smaller body sizes with increased reproductive investment in the first generations exposed to warming. After four to eight generations of warming, size at maturation varied more, indicating an evolutionary component in maturation-related trait responses to warming. Utilising a customised DNA extraction protocol, I obtained high-quality whole genome sequencing data for perch from historical archival bones as well as contemporary muscle samples. Selection signatures in single nucleotide variants were revealed between perch from the heated and unheated area over time, suggesting natural selection due to warming. Lastly, I conducted a mesocosm experiment, exposing a pelagic food web module to a temperature gradient using perch larvae from both the heated and unheated areas. Fish from the heated area may have adapted to warming in feeding-related traits, as indicated by differences in their zooplankton prey community composition compared to fish from the unheated area.

Overall, the thesis demonstrates that warming can impose evolutionary and ecological consequences on fish in the wild, and underscores how such consequences can propagate through species interactions and influence other components in the ecosystem. This thesis emphasises the importance of synthesising research on ecology and evolution to better understand how ectotherms respond to rising temperatures and the biological processes involved, especially in the face of intensifying climate warming challenges.
Enhancing Patients' Health Outcomes through Telehealth and Remote Monitoring: Exploring Influential Factors on Patient Perception and Acceptance
Authors: Al Zoubi Mohammad Ahmmad Mahmoud
Published: February 2025

Telehealth and remote monitoring have revolutionized healthcare delivery by providing continuous, real-time patient care beyond traditional clinical settings. These technologies improve access to healthcare services, enhance chronic disease management, and reduce hospitalizations, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes. However, the success of telehealth relies significantly on patient perception and acceptance, which are influenced by multiple factors. This review explores the key determinants that shape patients' willingness to adopt telehealth and remote monitoring solutions, including technological, personal, psychological, and healthcare system-related factors. Ease of use, reliability, and integration with electronic health records (EHR) are critical technological factors affecting patient acceptance. Personal attributes such as age, education, digital literacy, and socioeconomic status also play a crucial role in determining the adoption of telehealth services. Additionally, psychological aspects, including trust in technology and healthcare providers, concerns about data privacy, and readiness for digital health engagement, influence patient perception. From a broader perspective, healthcare policies, insurance coverage, and provider support systems impact the widespread implementation and acceptance of telehealth solutions. Despite the benefits, challenges such as digital accessibility disparities, resistance from both patients and healthcare providers, technical limitations, and privacy concerns hinder the full integration of telehealth into routine care. To address these issues, strategies such as improving digital health literacy, enhancing telehealth platform usability, strengthening cybersecurity measures, and developing supportive policies are essential. This review presents case studies of successful telehealth implementations and discusses best practices for optimizing patient-centered remote care. Findings suggest that improving patient perception and acceptance of telehealth can lead to better adherence, higher patient engagement, and ultimately improved health outcomes. Moving forward, a multidisciplinary approach involving policymakers, healthcare providers, and technology developers is essential to maximize the benefits of telehealth and remote monitoring.
Integrating AI into Financial Models
Authors: Okwaraoha Felix Chisomebi
Published: February 2025

By improving accuracy, efficiency, and predictive power, the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into financial models has revolutionized conventional financial analysis. AI-driven models process massive datasets, find patterns, and produce insights that enhance financial decision-making by utilizing machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and natural language processing (NLP). Conventional financial models frequently find it difficult to adjust to changing market conditions because they are based on statistical techniques and previous data. However, financial institutions can improve risk assessment, portfolio management, and fraud detection thanks to AI's adaptive learning, real-time processing, and automation. By identifying irregularities and forecasting market volatility based on past and current data, AI-powered algorithms improve risk management. Support vector machines (SVM), neural networks (NN), and reinforcement learning (RL) are examples of machine learning models that enhance credit score and give lenders more accurate information about a borrower's dependability. Additionally, algorithmic trading minimizes human error and maximizes earnings by using AI to evaluate market trends and execute deals at the best times. Financial institutions can extract insights from news stories, social media, and analyst reports by using natural language processing (NLP) in sentiment analysis. This helps them make well-informed investment decisions. Furthermore, through the analysis of transactional data, generative AI and large language models (LLMs) improve financial reporting, automate compliance monitoring, and identify fraudulent activity. AI-powered robo-advisors democratize financial planning for individual investors by offering tailored investment suggestions. Notwithstanding its benefits, there are drawbacks to incorporating AI into financial models, such as issues with algorithmic bias, data privacy, computing costs, and regulatory compliance. Maintaining openness in decision-making procedures and ensuring the ethical application of AI continue to be crucial issues. A promising approach to improving interpretability and confidence in AI-driven financial systems is explainable AI (XAI). AI's involvement in capital allocation, asset pricing, and financial forecasting will grow as it develops further, spurring efficiency and innovation in the financial industry. Future studies should concentrate on enhancing the interpretability of AI, developing regulatory frameworks, and creating hybrid AI models that integrate cutting-edge machine learning methods with conventional financial theories. Global financial ecosystems are changing as a result of the confluence of artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and financial technology (FinTech), opening the door for more intelligent and robust financial models.

Published: February 2025

İncinebilir grupların haklarına dair özel koruma birimlerinin oluşturulabileceği Paris Prensiplerinde düzenlenmiştir. Bu itibarla Avrupa’da bulunan ombudsman kurumlarında incinebilir grupların haklarının korunmasına dair özel çalışma birimleri ihdas edilmiştir. İlk olarak özel birimlerden en yaygını olan çocuk hakları birimlerine değinmek gerekir. İkinci olarak, ombudsman kurumlarının teşkilatı içerisinde bulunan ulusal önleme mekanizmaları incinebilir grupların haklarına dair şikâyetleri incelemekte, raporlama faaliyeti yürütmektedir. Bunlarla birlikte ülkelerin sorunlarına göre özel birimlerin ihdas edildiği de görülmektedir. Hollanda’da ülke güvenliği ve barış gücü misyonunda görev alan askerlerden yaralananların şikâyetlerini incelemek için gazi ombudsmanlığı özel birimi kurulmuştur.

Reklam; bir ürünü, hizmeti veya etkinliği tanıtan kamuya açık bir ortamda yapılan duyuru veya bildiridir. Ticaretin gelişmesiyle birlikte ürün çeşitliliğinin artmış olması reklamın önemini de arttırmıştır. Zira üreticiler kendi ürün, hizmet veya etkinliğinin diğerlerinden daha fazla satın alınmasını isterler. Bu yüzden reklam yoluyla tüketicileri etkilemeye çalışırlar. Hem bugünün hem de geleceğin tüketicileri olan çocuklar ise çoğunlukla hedef kitle olarak seçilir. Çocukların, yetişkinlere oranla daha kolay etki altına alınabilmeleri reklamverenlerin onları hedef kitle olarak seçmeleri açısından önem taşımaktadır.
Hayatın her alanında reklama maruz kalan çocuklar bazen reklamlardan olumsuz etkilenebilmektedir. Çocukları reklamın olumsuz etkilerinden korumak için çeşitli düzenlemeler yapılmıştır. Bu düzenlemeler hem uluslararası hukukta hem de Türk hukukunda yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında önce reklam kavramı ve reklamın unsurları ele alınarak reklam ve çocuk ilişkisi incelenecektir. Bunun akabinde uluslararası hukuk ve Türk Hukukunda çocuklara yönelik reklam düzenlemeleri hakkında bilgi verilerek Türkiye’deki uygulamadan örneklerle bunlar değerlendirilecektir.

This research analyzes the differences in reactions growth investor And value investor to ex-dividend date and changes in dividend policy on LQ45 shares during the 2008-2010 period. Using approach event study, this study evaluates abnormal return And trading volume activity around ex-dividend date. The research results show that growth investor tend to do profit-taking before ex-dividend date, whereas value investor retain shares to obtain dividends. Dividend increases result abnormal return positive that is more appreciated by value investor, temporary growth investor tend to give neutral to negative responses. Conversely, a decrease in dividends results abnormal return negative which has more impact on value investor, temporary growth investor more tolerant of these changes. These findings support the theories of Dividend Signaling, Tax Preference, and Clientele Effect, which explain how investors with different preferences respond to dividend policy. This research provides insight for investors and companies in developing investment strategies and dividend policies that suit the characteristics of their investor base.

У статті представлено результати аналізу даних експериментального дослідження адаптації людини до нових цифрових середовищ, отриманих за допомогою EEG-пристрою та суб’єктивного шкалювання. Мета дослідження полягала у визначенні латентних профілів, що різняться за показниками: рівня уваги, розслаблення, ментального навантаження, самооцінки стану, співвідношення альфа- та бета-ритмів. Методи дослідження: експеримент з фіксацією ЕЕГ-показників та фіксацією самооцінки власного стану на кожному етапі. Учасники виконували завдання в різних умовах для моделювання ситуацій з різним рівнем стресу  (знайоме та незнайоме цифрове середовище, завдання з обмеження часу або без). Статистичний аналіз включав кластерізацію даних латентним профільним аналізом, дисперсійний аналіз (ANOVA). Учасниками стали 50 осіб у віці 30-50 років, які ідентифікують себе як українці і користуються цифровими технологіями. Результати дослідження виявили чотири типи особистісного реагування на завдання з обмеженням часу в новому цифровому середовищі: «Адаптивні новачки», «Збалансовані адаптери», «Вразливі під тиском» та «Адаптаційні лідери». Кожен профіль мав специфічні характеристики адаптаційних можливостей, пов’язаних із рівнями уваги, розслаблення, ментального навантаження, співвідношення альфа- та бета-ритмів, а також самооцінки стану. Було встановлено, що група «Адаптаційні лідери» демонструє найкращі розслабленість, концентрацію та залученість, найнижче ментальне навантаження і найвищу самооцінку стану, виконуючи завдання з обмеженням часу в новому цифровому середовищі, що є найстресовішим етапом експерименту. Група «Вразливі під тиском» демонструє найнижчий рівні уваги, розслаблення, і найвищий рівень ментального навантаження, що свідчить про значний рівень стресу при роботі в новому цифровому середовищі з обмеженням часу. Група «Збалансовані адаптери» характеризується збалансованою продуктивність із стабільним самосприйняттям. Група «Адаптивні новачки» демонструє помірний стрес із когнітивним навантаженням. Висновки дослідження підкреслюють важливість врахування психофізіологічних та емоційних параметрів для розробки адаптаційних стратегій у цифрових середовищах. Отримані результати відкривають шлях для розробки більш індивідуалізованих підходів до покращення адаптації різних груп користувачів до цифровізації. Дослідження сприяє розвитку розуміння механізмів адаптації у цифрову епоху та формує основу для подальших досліджень у цій галузі.

The purpose of the research is to identify the best options for bioenergy and economic efficiency of cultivating winter and spring wheat. Efficiency problem is the most important one in economics. Economic activity at both the macro and micro levels requires constant comparison of results and costs, and determination of the most effective course of action. In general, efficiency means carrying out a process with minimal costs, effort and losses. Economic efficiency is an indicator determined by the ratio of the economic effect and the costs that generated this effect. In other words, the smaller the cost and the larger the result of economic activity, the higher the efficiency. The main indicators of the economic efficiency of agricultural production are net income, profitability level, and cost. The objective of the re-search is to determine the bioenergy and economic efficiency of wheat cultivation. The research was carried out in 2017-2019. on the training and experimental field of the Orenburg State Agrarian University, on southern cherno-zems. The experimental scheme included: winter wheat variety Pionerskaya 32 (T.aestivum), spring wheat variety South-Eastern - 2 (T.aestivum), foliar fertilizing with the studied preparations during the heading phase: Carb-N-Humik (2 l/ha) ; Carb-N-Humik (2 l/ha) + Albit (40 g/ha); Carb-N-Humik (2 l/ha) + Albit (40 g/ha) + Amino Zn (0.5 l/ha). Agricultural technology corresponded to the zonal one. Mathematical processing of experimental and statistical data was carried out using standard methods of correlation analysis in Microsoft Office Excel. The highest energy and economic efficiency in terms of development forms was observed in winter wheat. Its highest value of 3.10 in winter wheat was noted on the Carb-N-Humik option (2 l/ha), and in spring wheat with a value of 1.66 on the Carb-N-Humik option (2 l/ha) + Albit (40 g/ha) + Amino Zn (0.5 l/ha). Among the tested fertilizers, the most cost-effective for winter wheat was the Carb-N-Humik option (2 l/ha), where the profitability level was 291.2%, while for spring wheat the Carb-N-Humik option (2 l/ha )+Albit (40 g/ha) with a profitability level of 88.9%.
