Authors: Stepanov Dmitry , Stepanova Natalia , Onykiienko Sergii , Martynenko Vitaly
Published: August 2023

The relevance of paying attention to the energy efficiency of buildings, which will reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and electricity and reduce harmful emissions into the environment, is shown. The energy efficiency indicators of the public building were analyzed, namely the thermal resistance of the enclosing structures, the specific energy demand for heating, cooling and hot water supply, the specific energy consumption of the building for heating and cooling, the specific consumption of primary energy and the specific emissions of greenhouse gases.The effect of increasing the normative thermal resistance of the outer wall of the building on the required thickness of the insulation was evaluated. It is indicated that under the conditions of a large facade glazing ratio and compliance with the regulatory thermal resistance of the fences, the building does not meet the requirements for specific energy consumption for heating, cooling and hot water supply.The influence of the heat source for heating the building on its specific energy consumption, energy efficiency class, specific consumption of primary energy and specific emissions of greenhouse gases was studied. Considered options for using a gas boiler, a condensing gas boiler, electric heaters, a biomass pellet boiler and connection to a centralized heat supply system. The effectiveness of the implementation of reversible heat pump equipment for heating and cooling of buildings is substantiated

Authors: Becuwe-Gosselin E. , Enoch L. , Delhomme L.
Published: August 2023

Les traumatismes médullaires périnatals (ou SCIWORA) sont des événements rares, souvent méconnus avec un possible retard diagnostique et des complications variables. Les formes cervicales sont très souvent sévères avec un pronostic défavorable. Outre les aspects cliniques, cette entité pose de réelles questions éthiques (temporalité, place des parents, incertitude) dont la résolution passe par une réflexion pluridisciplinaire dont les membres sont à leur juste place avec une volonté et un engagement constants des équipes sur l’identification de leurs limites.
What Role Did Norway Really Play in The Oslo Process?
Authors: Stensland Fride Lia
Published: August 2023

How can ‘small’ and politically peripheral states have a significant impact on issues dominated by big states? For example, how did Norway come to play such an important role in fostering negotiations between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in the early 1990s? This article seeks to answer these questions by analyzing Norway's relationship with Israel and the PLO from 1948 until 1993, as well as Norway's role during the negotiations that led to the signing of the first Oslo Accord. Seen through the theoretical framework of small-state mediation, Norway's lack of influence might have helped convince the parties to open dialogue, but it also implied an inability to provide a level playing field for just negotiations.
Denmark's Engagement in the Oslo Peace Process
Authors: Levitan Nir
Published: August 2023

Since 1993, professional and historical record literature has largely focused on the Norwegian involvement in the Oslo peace process. Denmark's extensive mediation efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have not received similar scrutiny. This article assesses Denmark's involvement in the period following the Oslo Declaration of Principles in 1993. Denmark's peace engagement included two main diplomatic tracks. The unofficial track was designated as the Louisiana Process and the official track was named the Road Map for Peace. In both tracks, Denmark was able to demonstrate a comprehensive foreign policy that reflected a unique mediation strategy. Denmark's capacity to alter the nature of the conflict was restricted by its meager resources and its inability to impose decisions on the involved parties.
The Evolution of Narratives on the Oslo Process among Palestinian-Arab Political Elites in Israel
Authors: Rudnitzky Arik
Published: August 2023

The signing of the Oslo Accords in the 1990s between Israel and the PLO has had significant implications for the Palestinian-Arab community in Israel. From a three-decade perspective it becomes clear that the debate on Oslo continues to resonate among the various political and ideological circles in Israel's Arab community. While the members of the Arab-Jewish current consider the Oslo period the Golden Era of Arab parties in Israeli politics, the Palestinian nationalists in the Arab community sharply criticize not only the outcome of the Oslo Accords but also the Palestinian leadership that endorsed them as well. The Islamists greeted the Oslo Accords with mixed reactions but over time began to criticize their outcome as well. This article sheds light on the evolving narratives of Oslo among the various ideological currents in Israel's Arab society from the early 1990s to the present.
I'm Hopeless but I Still Have Hope
Authors: Gutkowski Stacey
Published: August 2023

Mannheim observed that generational memory is shaped by the prominent public events an age cohort experienced for the first time as young adults. For Jewish-Israeli millennials, born 1980–1995, their political coming of age was shaped by the failure of Oslo, cyclical violence, and Israel's pursuit of policies of population separation from Palestinians. This article draws on a wider, phenomenological study (2014–20) of post-Oslo generational memory of self-described hiloni (‘secular’ in Hebrew) millennials across the political spectrum from left to right. More richly theorizing and nuancing what is popularly assumed about this demographic, it argues that Oslo's legacy is hope-as-waiting behavior. It introduces Rengger's concept of the anti-Pelagian imaginary to discussions of attitudes to Occupation, making a case for more carefully specifying this sensibility by Jewish-Israeli demographic subgroup. To comparatively research hope amid intractable conflict calls for deeper analysis of hope-as-waiting as a category of action.

Genesis of cultural landscape
Authors: Martyshova Larysa
Published: August 2023

The article highlights that the modern idea of the cultural landscape is ambiguous. Today, there are three fundamentally different interpretations of the term "cultural landscape", based on different dominant factors: natural, cultural or information environment. Thus, some researchers adhere to the traditional approach and define a cultural landscape as an anthropogenic landscape, i.e. a natural landscape of a place, changed by a person according to a certain programme, which has high aesthetic and functional qualities. The other approach is based on the understanding of a cultural landscape as a certain area that has been a place of residence for a certain group of people who are carriers of specific cultural values for a long historical period. Most often, these groups are ethnic or religious communities. There is also an understanding of this term as an informational one, based on the idea of the active role of intellectual and spiritual activity in shaping the cultural landscape; it is important to emphasize that cultural, spiritual and intellectual values that are preserved and transmitted from one generation of people to another in the form of information not only determine the formation and development of the cultural landscape, but are also part of it, being influenced by other, material components of the landscape. The complexity and ambiguity of the modern world determines a certain attitude towards the environment, requiring a new understanding and comprehension of it. Architecture and urban planning is a field that covers all manifestations of human activity, where the most important thing is that it is a space for modeling the artificial environment, which is an integral part of the holistic world. The environment is a holistic, organized space that constantly surrounds a person, with the help of architecture actively and constantly influencing the unified process of forming this twofold structure (the architectural environment models the natural one, combining into a single whole). By creating an artificial environment for human life, architecture has a multifaceted impact on people, with the strongest influence being through visual perception, as human activity is always associated with different forms of perception of the environment. A work of architecture is an idea (something fictional, imaginary) that is "dressed" in a material form in the real space of the city and reproduces the world and its structure, a mechanism for translating myths and fictions caused by modern conditions into the physical dimension, where fictions become reality through the play of forms, images and meanings.

Authors: Petrakovska Olga , Mykhalova Mariia
Published: August 2023

Establishing land use restrictions as a mechanism for ensuring favourable conditions for the life of the population and sustainable development of territories is of great importance. The study analysed the diversity of restrictions on land use, determined the grounds for setting land use restrictions, carried out their aggregation and structuring according to various characteristics, taking into account legal, spatial, social, economic and ecological aspects. During the research, methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and system methods were used. Restrictions on land use are diversified in nature, size and grounds for establishment. The main basis for imposing restrictions on the land use in Ukraine is the necessity of natural resources preservation; ensuring the economic efficiency of territory development; ensuring social justice and protection of the population; environmental stability preservation territory restoration in the post-war period. The classification of land use restrictions is proposed depending on various classification features. The most significant among which are: presence of the mode-forming object as a basis for restriction; degree of determination; planning characteristics; validity term; ownerships of land in the area of limitations; access mode status for beneficiaries of specified benefits. The results of the study illustrate the need to further definition of the assessment of the impact of restrictions on social life.

Strategic Management of Innovative and Investment DevelopmentofUkrainian Electric Power Enterprisesin the Conditions of Unstability
Authors:   “KROK” University, Kyiv,Ukraine, Petrova Iryna
Published: August 2023

An underdeveloped competitive environment, a high level of monopolization of key types of economic activity, insufficient financial and organizational support for the creation and implementation of innovations restrain the innovative activity of enterprises and reduce the competitiveness of enterprises on the domestic and world markets, exacerbating the problem of their economic security. On the other hand, the economic insecurity of enterprises makes their efforts in the direction of innovative activity impossible. This is confirmed by the analysis of statistical indicators of the development of electric power enterprises, which ensures the activity of all other spheres of the national economy of Ukraine. For a long period, the innovation and investment function of enterprises in the electric power sector was implemented inefficiently, as evidenced by the low international rating of Ukraine according to the "energy productivity" subindex. This contradicts the goals of achieving the strategic priorities of innovative development, among which the development of new energy transportation technologies, the introduction of energy-efficient, resource-saving technologies, and the development of alternative energy sources are legally defined. The financial condition of the electric power enterprises of Ukraine is critically deteriorating as a result of significant losses caused to this sector of the country's economy by the Russian aggressor. In such conditions, it becomes urgent to search for and attract investment resources to update fixed assets and ensure innovative development of electric power enterprises in accordance with the main provisions of the State Energy Strategy. The specificity of the investment project in the electric power sector as an important tool of strategic management was considered and its types were identified depending on their purpose: the creation of new energy facilities with the aim of expanding production capacities or commissioning new energy sources; reconstruction through modernization and improvement of existing energy facilities; increasing their scale and capacities; temporary conservation with future deconservation. The leading strategic direction of innovation and investment development is the creation of an effective and reliable electric power infrastructure aimed at ensuring the conditions for the direct sale of electric power from generating companies to the consumer.

Published: August 2023

The article substantiates the significance of innovations in the context of modern conditions of hotel and restaurant business development. The war with Russia’s impact on the hotel and restaurant industry of Ukraine is analyzed. The functions of innovation and innovative technologies in the hospitality industry are summarized and grouped according to the principle of the key focus. The importance of using the theory of generations and advanced digital technologies during the development and implementation of innovative technologies in the hotel and restaurant industry is emphasized. The methodological bases of the work are the system approach, methods of scientific abstraction, generalization, analysis and synthesis. The application of the system approach necessitated the formation of an appropriate terminological base, and the researched reality should be described through a set of properties and characteristics. The methods of scientific abstraction and generalization made it possible to identify issues that require further scientific elaboration and improvement, and synthesis – to develop a system of practical recommendations. The importance of taking into account the experience of countries that effectively rebuilt the hospitality industry after crisis situations, including military conflicts was underlined. Several practical recommendations regarding the application of innovative technologies in the hotel and restaurant industry are offered. Their implementation is an important strategic step, because it will not only ensure competitiveness, improve the quality of service and the efficiency of resource use, but also contribute to environmental support and social responsibility of hotels and restaurants. Prospects for further research are determined, which consist in determining the impact of artificial intelligence, smart devices, IoT (Internet of Things) technologies on customer loyalty, the level of costs and the efficiency of staff work.

Data analysis was performed using Pearson's correlation coefficient test and multiple regression analysis in SPSS Version 26. Results: The results showed a significant positive relationship between cognitive reappraisal and sexual desire. On the other hand, sexual desire had a significant negative relationship with procrastination, suppression/denial, distress tolerance, experiential avoidance, and depression (P<0.01). Moreover, the results of regression analysis revealed that depression, cognitive reappraisal, and procrastination could predict sexual desire (coefficients: 0.25, 0.26, and 0.24, respectively). Conclusion: The present results showed that emotional self-regulation, experiential avoidance, and depression were influential factors in sexual desire. Therefore, appropriate methods should be implemented to improve the teachers emotional self-regulation, experiential avoidance, and depressive symptoms in order to increase their sexual drive.

Introduction: Some personality traits and characteristics are "subclinical threshold" that their intensity in an individual is not as much as clinical personality disorders but they can cause various abnormalities. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship and role of immature defense mechanisms in predicting the dark triad personality traits. Method: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on the population of individuals referring to vaccination centers in Sanandaj city in 2020-2021. Out of these individuals, 282 were selected as the sample population. The research instruments were the Andrews' Defense Styles Questionnaire (1993) and Paulhus's Short Dark Tetrad (2021). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, structural equation modeling, and stepwise regression analysis with SPSS version 23 and Amos version 26 software. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between immature defense mechanisms and the dark triad personality traits (P≤0.05). Moreover, the structural model results showed that immature defense mechanisms explained 81% of the dark traits. According to the regression results, splitting (β=0.271, P≤0.01), denial (β=0.168, P≤0.01), and omnipotence (β=0.142, P≤0.05) were better predictors of dark triad personality traits than other defense mechanisms. Conclusion: The use of immature defense mechanisms can predict dark personality traits. By recognizing the impact of defense mechanisms on personality traits and emphasizing psychological training and helping them become self-aware, it can be expected that dark personality traits will also decrease.

Sagebrush Biome, a framework for conservation action, 2021-2025
Authors:   United States. Natural Resources Conservation Service
Published: August 2023

The sagebrush biome is the largest habitat type in North America, spanning 175 million acres in 13 western states. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW) team developed a science-based framework to provide the common vision and coordination necessary to address resource concerns and ecosystem threats across boundaries in the sagebrush biome. The framework helps guide and target Farm Bill conservation actions spanning multiple states and focal species from 2021-25. Threats addressed by this framework include: 1) Exotic annual grass invasion; 2) Land use conversion (cropland conversion/subdivision); 3) Woodland expansion (conifer); 4) Riparian and wet meadow degradation. The framework uses a core area approach to build on past conservation efforts in addressing threats impacting sagebrush rangelands accomplished through the Sage Grouse Initiative. A combination of conservation practices, easements, and proper livestock grazing management are used to conserve and restore the landscape. This WLFW Sagebrush Biome framework for western rangeland shares the vision of achieving "Wildlife Conservation Through Sustainable Ranching," to benefit people, wildlife, and rural communities.

Стаття присвячена проблемі формування професійного мислення майбутніх магістрів з дошкільної освіти в процесі їх фахової підготовки. Актуальність проблеми зумовлена сучасними потребами підвищення якості дошкільної освіти загалом і відповідно фахової підготовки педагогів. Метою статті визначено з’ясування особливостей розвитку професійного мислення майбутніх магістрів дошкільної освіти в процесі формування їхньої готовності до предметно-перетворювальної діяльності з вихованцями у контексті завдань Базового компонента дошкільної освіти. Виокремлено основні орієнтири формування професійного мислення майбутніх вихователів закладів дошкільної освіти, окреслено відповідні завдання, а саме: організація дидактико-розвивального простору; пояснення дітям можливостей для самореалізації в умовах тематичного наповнення відповідними матеріалами його центрів (кутків); пояснення інформації для розуміння її змісту кожною дитиною; посилення пізнавального інтересу, стимулювання допитливості, кмітливості, прагнення до прийняття оригінальних підходів до розв’язання завдань. В статті конкретизовано особливості розв’язання кожного з перелічених завдань під час фахової підготовки майбутніх педагогів. Представлено алгоритм діяльності викладача, який відтворює до певної міри логіку наукового пізнання і таким чином моделює діяльність майбутніх магістрів у самостійній роботі з дітьми, як-от: чітке виокремлення уявлення, його ретельне пояснення, оскільки сумарно такі уявлення творять поняття – основну одиницю логічного мислення дошкільника; пізнавальні аналітико-синтетичні операції – аналіз, порівняння, зіставлення, узагальнення, систематизація та ін. і саме на основі таких навчальних дій, які вже опановані чи якими ще тільки опановує дитина під керівництвом педагога; проєктування самостійної діяльності, її організація на перспективу, добір дотичних методів, програмування очікуваних результатів.
Optimisation of Fungal Laccase Production from Monodictys castaneae
Authors: Tammam Abdelrahman Mohamed
Published: August 2023

Laccases are copper-containing oxidase enzymes that have broad substrate specificity and applicability in industrial processes. The purpose of this work was to optimise laccase production by a certain endophytic fungus. Monodictys castaneae (Wallr.) Hughes was cultured and incubated using different nutritional and physiological factors affecting laccase production. It was found that the optimum physiological conditions for laccase production were 4 disc inoculum size, a 9-day fermentation period, pH 5, and 28°C. The enzyme was purified using acetone precipitation, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography. The enzyme was identified as a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 63 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Different concentrations of CuSO4 were used to stimulate laccase production and activity. A 0.15 g/l concentration of CuSO4 was the optimum dosage for laccase activity enhancement. For enzyme-guaiacol interaction, the optimal pH and temperature were 5.4 and 35 °C, respectively. The laccase activity was highly stimulated using 3 mM and 7 mM concentrations of chloride salts of Cd+2, Ca+2, Cr+2 and Fe+3, but the enzyme activity was slightly inhibited by 10 mM concentrations of these metal ions. According to all previous results, Monodictys castaneae showed promising potential as a producer of laccase.
