Recently, the study of the near and far space with the help of small spacecraft has become more important. In this regard, we can definitely talk about the whole industry of small space technology, the problems of its creation, application, launch and operation. Today we have a large arsenal of carrier rockets of various classes, numerous conversion rocket technologies  has been accumulated, allowing, directly or indirectly, to ensure not only the delivery of small space technology to working orbits, but also to perform control and other functions for basic spacecraft of various purposes. This paper addresses the problem of the relative motion of small spacecraft, taking into account their layout on the launch platform and separation parameters. As a solution, an algorithm is proposed for finding the optimal layout of devices on the platform and modeling their separation and subsequent movement. The choice of perturbing factors that are used in the simulation of orbital motion is substantiated. The results of the layout and graphics of the relative position of the launch platform and the small spacecraft, the relative position of the two separated vehicles at a given time interval are given. The modeling of the movement of the separated apparatus near the international space station is presented.

Authors: KANEVA O.N. , ZYKINA A.V. , MUNKO V.V.
Published: January 2025

Modeling of training processes contributes to obtaining effective solutions of problems in the educational system. One of the most important tasks in the planning of the educational process is computer-aided curriculum design taking into account imposed limitations and the requirements set educational standards and institutions in accordance with the competence-based approach. Despite the considerable amount of the problem research, a systematic formulation of its solution does not exist. The approach is designed to obtain such a decision involving the relationship between disciplines, competencies and teachers. Features of the approach are connected with the formalization and generalization of semi-structured data. Its processing is possible by using the basis of modern decision-making methods with initial uncertainty. Approaches to solving these problems are proposed. Based on the received set of education profile field competences the formation model of the curriculum is constructed. This problem can be considered as an multi-criteria optimization problem.

Моделирование учебного процесса способствует эффективному управлению в образовательной системе. Одной из важнейших задач в планировании учебного процесса является автоматизированное проектирование учебного плана с учетом накладываемых ограничений и требований, заданных образовательным стандартом и вузом в соответствии с компетентностным подходом. Несмотря на значительное количество исследований, посвященных решению этой проблемы, системная постановка её решения отсутствует. Разработанный в статье подход к получению такого решения основан на взаимосвязи дисциплин, компетенций и преподавателей. Особенности подхода связаны с необходимостью формализации и обобщения слабоструктурированных данных, обработка которых возможна на основе современных методов принятия решений в условиях исходной неопределенности. Предложены подходы к решению этих проблем. На основе полученного набора компетенций профиля направления построена модель формирования учебного плана, являющаяся задачей многокритериальной оптимизации.

Рецензия на монографию «Советское градостроительство. 1917-1941»
Authors: Мазаев Григорий Васильевич
Published: January 2025

Капитальный труд в двух книгах по истории советского градостроительства разработан в стенах НИИТИАГ1 и благодаря поддержке Российского фонда фундаментальных исследований вышел в свет в издательстве «Прогресс-Традиция». Эта работа является продолжением систематических исследований истории отечественного градостроительства, которые ведутся в Научно-исследовательском институте теории и истории архитектуры и градостроительства. Монография включает шесть разделов, написанных разными авторами, хронологические границы монографии охватывают период от 1917 г. до начала Великой Отечественной войны. Феномен отечественного градостроительства представлен в нескольких аспектах: политическом, административно-управленческом, законодательно-нормативном, которым подчинялась планировочная деятельность. Градостроительство рассматривается как проектно-практическая деятельность со специфическими механизмами принятия градостроительных решений. Архитекторы способствовали социальным преобразованиям в стране, создавая проекты «домов-коммун» и «соцгородов» со строгой регламентацией всех жизненных процессов. Такие поселения должны были заменить буржуазные, стихийно развивавшиеся города. Реальное развитие градостроительства пошло гораздо более сложным путем.

Друзья и коллеги! В этом году нашему замечательному журналу исполнилось десять лет. Мы начинали как небольшое региональное издание, а сегодня можем показать десятки ваковских публикаций, несколько престижных наград, индексацию в значимых реестрах. Журнал совершенствуется и растет, становясь заметным явлением в отечественной архитектурной и градостроительной науке. Это связано не только с усилиями редколлегии, но и с повышением общественного интереса к вопросам совершенствования российских городов. Десять лет назад мы сетовали на отсутствие архитектурной общественности. В тот период архитектурные публикации ограничивались глянцевыми и рекламными страничками, что, конечно, вызывало короткий интерес и не способствовало развитию профессиональных традиций. Сегодня на страницах журнала «Академический вестник УралНИИпроект РААСН» представлены авторы разных поколений, регионов, стран. Журнал, как ему и положено, становится площадкой для обмена наработками и идеями. Мы не конкурируем с порталами и сайтами об архитектуре и дизайне, а стараемся привнести научную составляющую в их информацию. Ведь, чем больше люди знают о процессах, происходящих в их домах и их городах, тем больше они могут быть в них вовлечены. В условиях все более активной урбанизации дело совершенствования городской среды зависит как от специалистов, так и от подготовленных заказчиков, девелоперов, менеджеров. Просвещение, анализ, внятно сформулированная оценка, полноцветные иллюстрации, развернутые доказательства напрямую влияют на состояние городских объектов и коммуникаций. В Новый год принято подводить итоги и заглядывать в будущее. Что ждет наш журнал впереди? Мы уверены, что это будет растущее число российских и зарубежных авторов, еще более разнообразные публикации, возможность постановки новых теоретических и практических вопросов. Сегодня в лидеры исследований выходят темы системы расселения России, агломерационных процессов, развития городских территорий, сохранения и актуализации исторического наследия, включая промышленную архитектуру, столь важную для Уральского региона. Сложность современного архитектурного процесса делает необходимыми междисциплинарные исследования и проекты, и наш журнал позволяет авторам находить друг друга для последующих совместных действий. Если говорить более широко, то мы уверены, что работаем в прекрасный период огромного разнообразия профессиональных задач, от реабилитации промышленных территорий до разработки футуристических урбанистических прогнозов, от поиска связи между архитекторами и маркетологами-менеджерами-дизайнерами до выработки новых научных методик анализа архитектурного процесса. В замечательные предновогодние дни можно вспомнить тех, с кем мы начинали, - Геннадия Ивановича Белянкина, Владимира Григорьевича Десятова, Сергея Михайловича Лыжина и других наших авторов. Их работа продолжается сегодня усилиями молодых ученых и архитекторов-практиков. Все более часто в журнале раздаются голоса аспирантов и магистрантов, с которыми мы связываем надежды на будущее. Позвольте пожелать вам здоровья, творческих и научных начинаний, новых идей и новых побед!

Механизм влияния глубинной вибрации на изменение физического состояния грунта
Authors: ГЕЙДТ Владимир Давидович , ГЕЙДТ Лариса Викторовна , ГЕЙДТ Андрей Владимирович
Published: January 2025

Рассмотрен механизм влияния глубинной вибрации (продольных механических волн) на консолидацию водонасыщенного грунта, основанный на изменении физического состояния среды и учитывающий ее структуру. Влияние вибрации на процесс консолидации сводится к перераспределению соотношения между напряжением в скелете грунта и давлением в поровой воде на величину «вибрационного давления» так, что давление в поровой воде увеличивается, но не может превышать величину внешней статической нагрузки. В работе приведены результаты численных расчетов.

The paper considers deep vibration (longitudinal mechanical waves) having an effect on water-saturated soil consolidation. The mechanism is based on the changed physical state of the medium and takes into account its structure. According to the proposed mechanism, the effect of vibration on soil consolidation is reduced to redistribution of the relationship between the stress in soil skeleton and the pressure of pore water versus the value of «vibration pressure» in such a way that the pore water pressure increases, but cannot exceed the value of the external static load. The paper presents the results of numerical calculations.

Multiple primary malignant tumors are independent occurrence and development of two or more neoplasms in one patient. In this case, not only different organs of different systems can be affected, but also paired organs, as well as one organ multicentrically. Carcinogenesis is based on a multistage process of changes, malignant transformation and progression, which includes DNA damage and dysfunction of the immune system. Damage to certain parts of genes involved in mitosis, cell death or DNA repair is reflected in an increase in the mutation load. After accumulation of a sufficient number of mutations, control over cell function is disrupted, which leads to the development of cancer. In recent years, an increase in the frequency of multiple primary neoplasms has been noted. The review presents the main risk factors that to one degree or another affect the development of polyneoplasia.

Herein, we report a library of 7-mer macrocyclic peptides designed by systematically replacing one, multiple, or all L-amino acids with their D-isomers in our previously identified hit compounds. Lead peptides, 15c and 16c, showed broad-spectrum activity against bacteria (Gram-positive minimum inhibitory activity (MIC 1.5-6.2 µg/mL and Gram-negative MIC 6.2-25 µg/mL), and fungi (MIC = 3.1-25 µg/mL). Additionally, peptides 15c and 16c showed rapid kill kinetics and biofilm degradation potential against both bacteria and fungi, while resistance development was not observed. The antimicrobial effect of these macrocyclic peptides was attributed to their membranolytic action, which was confirmed by calcein dye leakage assay and scanning electron microscopy analysis. Both peptides, 15c (HC50 = 335 µg/mL) and 16c (HC50 = 310 µg/mL), exhibited significantly lower hemolytic activity compared to their parent peptide p3 (HC50 = 230 µg/mL). At 100 µg/mL, both peptides showed > 90% cell viability after 24 h incubation across four normal mammalian cell lines. Both peptides showed plasma stability (t1/2 ≥ 6h), further supporting their therapeutic potential. Finally, the molecular mechanisms determining the pharmacological properties of a number of typical representatives of each series of synthesized peptides were investigated by NMR spectroscopy and computer simulations. The study revealed specific combinations of structural, dynamic, and hydrophobic parameters of these amphiphilic peptides that allow a reasonable prediction of their hemolytic activity. This Structure-Activity Relationship provides a basis for the rational design of peptides or peptidomimetics with predefined pharmacological profiles.

Authors: Motghare K. L. , Sakhlecha M. , Chouhan V. , Sakharwade S. G. , Diwan R. , Verma R. , Rajput S. S. , Chandrakar D.
Published: January 2025

Purpose: This study investigates enhancements to maximise the efficiency and performance of the single-slope solar still for sustainable water solutions.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This research focuses on the design of a solar still (single-slope) and integration with phase change materials (PCMs), reflective mirrors, and black dye into the solar still (single-slope) to augment its improvement in efficiency. PCMs, such as paraffin wax, are known for their latent heat storage, sustaining higher temperatures within the still to enhance evaporation.
Findings: The study found that reflective mirrors amplify solar radiation entry, increasing thermal efficiency. Black dye, added to the basin water, enhances heat absorption, accelerating water evaporation rates. Finally, all improve the efficiency of solar stills (single-slope).
Research Limitation: The research uses renewable energy (solar power); therefore, it has been limited to work in the daytime only.
Practical Implication: The results show that the insulated basin, PCMs placement at the base, reflective mirrors encircling the still, and black dye in the water significantly improve the efficiency of solar stills (single-slope). Therefore, the quest for sustainable water solutions amid global water scarcity may be achieved through solar still technology, particularly the single-slope solar still.
Social Implication: The study endorses the proposed system, which can provide sustainable and reliable water solutions through renewable solar energy as a clean energy.
Originality/Value: Comparative analysis with conventional solar still underscored significant performance gains: The enhanced configuration produced an average of 3.04 litres of distilled water daily, a 42% increase over the conventional 2.14 litres. Hourly yield data highlighted peak performance at midday, with the enhanced still yielding 260 mL/hr compared to 180 mL/hr from the conventional.
Break even analysis for incentive based profit system in producer-distributor supply chain system
Authors: Mbachu V M  , Chiabuotu C C  , Mbonu M O
Published: January 2025

In a typical linear break even analysis, the Break Even Volume (BEV) is determined as the ratio of the total fixed cost and the difference between the total variable cost per volume (UVC) and the unit selling price (USP). Basically, this is feasible for traditional systems where the USP is greater than UVC. But in incentive based profit system adopted by most big companies for their distributors, where the distributor’s profitability is tied to his/her productivity rather than the price recovery factor, USP = UVC, and profit is based on the incentive obtained (which is a function of sales volume). The paper develops a BEV for such system, running a sensitivity analysis of the system. It was found that the BEV maintains a linear relationship with the total fixed cost, with a slope of the inverse of the product of USP and percentage of sales volume given as incentive/bonus. But for the USP and incentive plan (percentage of sales volume given as incentive/bonus) the BEV shares a negative power relationship.

Authors: Fue, H Danson  , Willy Maliganya
Published: January 2025

The study assessed the contributions of ICT in improving human resource performance in Kinondoni Municipality. It specifically focused on the policy and legal framework governing ICT use, the contribution of ICT to human resource performance, and the challenges associated with ICT adoption in the study. A descriptive research design was employed, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods. A mixed-methods approach was used, with a sample of 100 respondents selected through purposive and stratified random sampling. Data collection included both primary and secondary sources, and quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS for descriptive statistics, while qualitative data from interviews were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that most respondents strongly agreed that ICT policies and regulations are well-established, as reflected by a mean score of 4.2 (SD = 0.75). The study further assessed the contribution of ICT in improving human resource Performance, particularly in records management. ICT enhanced efficiency, accessibility, and data integrity, with record-keeping being the most frequently cited benefit (40%). However, practical implementation of ICT remains a significant challenge, especially in developing countries like Tanzania. Most offices were internet-connected computers (mean = 4.3, SD = 0.75), suggesting a solid ICT infrastructure foundation. However, the use of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) showed a slightly lower mean of 3.9 (SD = 0.85), indicating that while HRIS adoption is underway, its full utilization is still limited. Some barriers to full ICT implementation cited included inadequate training and lack of comprehensive integration into human resource practices. The study concludes that ICT has significantly improved human resource performance in LGAs, supporting better governance and service delivery. To maximize ICT's potential, further investments in infrastructure, continuous training, e-governance initiatives, and impact evaluation frameworks are recommended to improve human resource performance and contribute to national progress.

NZ primary schools are largely designed for able-bodied and able-minded children, yet in both our major cities and rural towns, disabled people represent between 10-16% of the population. This thesis seeks to explore the transformative potential of architectural design in empowering children with disabilities while seamlessly integrating disability facilities into the fabric of New Zealand schools.

Adopting a research through design strategy, the study’s scope encompasses a thorough contextual analysis, user-centered design, and innovative architectural interventions, all with the goal of enhancing the sense of identity and comfort of children. By engaging with people with disabilities, families, and experts, this thesis employs design as a research methodology to create inclusive, sensory-sensitive, and culturally respectful environments. It evaluates the impact of these interventions, emphasising sustainability and long-term usability, and provides practical implementation guidelines. The research also contemplates the broader societal implications of these design interventions, paving the way for a more inclusive and supportive society. This thesis proposal represents a significant step toward all schools enabling the full participation and empowerment of the young access community in New Zealand.

Seabed crushing, a critical underwater operation for mineral resource extraction and infrastructure construction, necessitates acoustic monitoring due to the limited visibility caused by debris generated during the process. This study proposes an acoustic classification method to enable real-time monitoring of underwater robotic operations. Given the acoustic characteristics of crushing operations, which predominantly manifest in the low-frequency band, acoustic features were extracted and processed using a deep learning model to classify the operational states into four categories: idling, cutting, hard cutting, and base. The model was developed using a recurrent neural network (RNN), which is particularly suited for real-time time-series data processing. The classification performance of long short-term memory (LSTM) networks and standard RNN models was systematically evaluated. Training on a dataset collected from crushing operations conducted on land, the LSTM model achieved an accuracy of 89%, outperforming the RNN, which achieved 84%. Furthermore, real-time operational state prediction was performed at a speed of 10 Hz, demonstrating high accuracy. These findings indicate that the proposed method effectively enables real-time classification of seabed crushing operations, thereby enhancing the safety and efficiency of remote underwater operations.
Efficiency Analysis of Container Ports in Vietnam Using Stochastic Frontier Analysis
Authors: Bui Thanh Uyen , Cho Gyu Sung
Published: January 2025

This study compared the technical efficiency of container ports in Vietnam to pinpoint areas for improvement, enabling the ports to enhance their efficiency and competitiveness within the Vietnamese port industry. This analysis used cross-sectional data from 13 major container ports and terminals across the country, utilizing the variables related to port infrastructure, including the total quay length (in meters), maximum alongside depth (in meters), and total terminal area (in square meters). The output metric used was the cargo volume, measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) per year. The port efficiency was measured using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), with the dataset sourced primarily from the official Vietnam Seaports Association website (www.vpa.org.vn). The methods were used to analyze the variations in port efficiency, including aspects such as distribution, rankings, identification of the best and worst ports, and determinants of the efficiency frontier. The results suggest that the port efficiency, as measured using the SFA models, enhances the technical efficiency scores of the container ports, with the collected scores generally being high among the 13 observations. This highlights the significance of the term error in container port production, showing that the seaport sector is an area where perception errors are highly developed. In addition, ports with higher throughput do not always have the highest efficiency scores. Therefore, the port authorities and managers responsible for port investment and management in Vietnam should consider using the SFA method to estimate and improve port efficiency.
Integrating Information Governance as the Foundation for Information Dashboard Design Ontology
Authors: Haji Mohd Nasir Ahadi , Salwana Ely , Nazir Ahmad Mohammad
Published: January 2025

Aim/Purpose: This paper addresses the lack of a standardized approach to information dashboard design and the absence of integrated Information Governance (IG) principles in this context.

Background: This study addresses the critical role of IG principles in ensuring dashboards are reliable, secure, and effective. By integrating IG principles into the work-in-progress Information Dashboard Design Ontology (IDDO), the study aims to enhance the systematic development of dashboards, addressing real-world issues such as data governance failures in Healthcare.gov, security breaches in CRM systems and risk reporting gaps in the JPMorgan Chase “London Whale” incident.

Methodology: A narrative literature review (NLR) method was employed to synthesize insights from three established IG models and prior studies. NLR was chosen for its flexibility in exploring emerging topics, such as the integration of IG with dashboard design, where existing literature is scarce. The study acknowledges the limitations of NLR, including potential selection bias, while emphasizing its value in identifying foundational insights and aligning IG principles with dashboard design needs.

Contribution: This study bridges the gap between IG and information dashboard design by proposing eight relevant IG principles for integration into the work-in-progress IDDO, providing a novel framework for governance-driven dashboard design.

Findings: The study derived eight IG principles aligned with common design principles: Quality, Security, Compliance, Integrity, Availability, Transparency, Accountability, and Effectiveness.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Practitioners should incorporate these IG principles into their dashboard design processes to enhance data quality, compliance, user trust, and decision-making support.

Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers should explore the practical application of these IG principles across various organizational contexts and assess their impact on dashboard effectiveness and user experience.

Impact on Society: This approach offers a potential solution to data quality, compliance, and user trust issues in enterprise information systems, which could lead to improved organizational decision-making and enhanced end-user experiences.

Future Research: Future studies should focus on the practical integration of the identified IG principles into the IDDO framework, including empirical testing and validation in real-world scenarios.

Published: January 2025

In this research, we set out to comprehend the ombudsman idea and find the problems with its implementation by conducting a thorough examination of its history, development, and operation in various regions of the globe. In light of the foregoing and in light of international precedents for ombudsman schemes, the following recommendations are put forth: (i) the establishment of a unified regulatory body overseeing all state lokayukts to standardize their respective jurisdictions and the means by which complaints are addressed; (ii) the transmission of technical circulars from insurance companies to the Ombudsman's office; and (iii) the regular updating of annual reports on complaints filed and resolved in the online platforms of electricity ombudsman, Lokpal, and other ombudsman; and (iii) the modification of appeal provisions in other types of ombudsman, similar to that of the Banking Ombudsman. A step forward towards good governance may be achieved by using extracts from this research to elevate the position of ombudsman among the Indian populace, since it offers a comprehensive and well-organized review of all the many facets of the position.

Authors: I Muhammed Salu , Meena Ashok Kumar
Published: January 2025

This study aims to investigate how political parties in India have used and expanded their usage of social media platforms as a means of conducting their election campaigns. Social media has emerged as a powerful tool for campaigns in India's electoral system. Voters, particularly the millennial and Gen Z generations, are being courted by these new media platforms. Campaigns and political parties may more quickly and easily contact a huge number of people using social media. Unlike with more conventional forms of advertising, politicians may have two-way conversations with prospective voters on social media. Through the use of social media, political parties and candidates are able to directly communicate with voters, allowing them to feel more invested in the campaign by sharing their values, objectives, and achievements. By using social media, politicians may provide their supporters with an inside look into their campaign and make it easier to monitor activity. New media also makes it easier to gather news that is relevant to key audiences. It is crucial to do research due to the substantial increases in the usage and growth of social media. The purpose of this study is to examine the public's engagement in politics as it relates to the usage and growth of social media platforms.

The collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore known as Gitanjali is arguably his most well-known work. In 1913, Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for this anthology. The collection of 103 poems began as a compilation of Bengali poetry in 1910. A few of the poems are even more personal; some are directed to God, while others are to a loved one on Earth. Without a doubt, poetry have highly uniform tones and meanings. whoever is addressed, reinforcing the firm conviction that love both human and eternal should be viewed equally. The majority of the poems are quite short and easily readable, making them suitable for almost anyone to read. When it comes to his creative career, he is well-known for his work in nearly all genres, including drama, stage plays, prose, novels, novellas, essays, and poetry. He thinks that developing a person's love for people will result in their spiritual change, and this can be accomplished by acquiring spiritual knowledge.
