Formation of a research and production center for fodder production for farms and private households
Authors: Voronetska I. , Kravchuk O. , Petrychenko I.
Published: February 2025

Purpose: to substantiate the concept of a research and production center for the production of highquality feed, aimed at the effective use of local resources, increasing livestock productivity and sustainable development of the agricultural sector. Methods: empirical, analytical, field research, synthesis and analysis, abstraction and scientific hypothesis. Results. An analysis of the state of feed crop production in farms of Vinnytsia region was conducted. The main challenges and prospects for the development of the feed market at the local territorial level were outlined. The main needs of farms and personal farms in high-quality feed and ways to solve them were established. The need to create a research and production center for feed production at the local level was substantiated. The main functions and expected results of the implementation of a research and production center for feed production were determined. Mechanisms for practical implementation of the results of the work of the scientific and production center for the production of quality feed in farms should be aimed at integrating innovations, developing partnerships and taking into account the interests of local communities and agricultural enterprises as much as possible. It has been established that the integration of scientific achievements into production will reduce costs, improve the quality of feed and reduce environmental impact. Given climate change and economic challenges in Ukraine, it is important to develop centralized systems that reduce farmers' costs and promote sustainable development. This also supports the food security of Ukraine. Conclusions. The creation of a scientific and production center optimizes feed production, supports the local economy, reduces costs and improves feed quality, helps reduce environmental impact and support food security in Ukraine.

Comprehensive Assessment of Flood Risk and Community Impact of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations in Iowa
Authors: SATILMIS UGUR , Mount Jerry , Bayram Adem , Demir Ibrahim
Published: February 2025

Flooding presents a significant risk to Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), especially in regions increasingly affected by extreme weather events. This study uses advanced geospatial analysis techniques to assess the environmental and economic vulnerabilities of 12,703 CAFOs across Iowa, United States. We focused on the exposure of CAFOS to 100-year and 500-year floodplains, integrating floodplain maps with location data operational characteristics, and livestock types (cattle, swine, poultry) to assess flood risk. The analysis also considered the size and construction year of each CAFO, offering insights into how older and larger operations are disproportionately vulnerable. The results indicate that over 1.9 million animal units (13.35% of total), are located within the 100-year floodplain. In the 500-year flood floodplain, it increases to 2.05 million animal units, representing 14.37% of the state’s total. Sioux, Lyon, and Hancock counties were identified as particularly high-risk, with over 16% of animal units in Sioux County exposed to 100-year flood risks, rising to 17.4% under the 500-year floodplain. The study reveals that larger CAFOs, particularly those constructed before 2004, are at greater risk due to their location in flood-prone areas and the challenges posed by their operational scale. These risks not only threaten livestock but also have far-reaching economic consequences, including significant operational disruptions, infrastructure damage, and cascading effects on supply chains and market stability. As extreme weather events become more frequent due to climate change, these findings highlight the need for heightened awareness of CAFO vulnerabilities and call for further research into adaptive strategies to protect Iowa’s agricultural sector.

Global data have served an integral role in characterizing large-scale groundwater systems, identifying their sustainability challenges, and informing on socioeconomic and ecological dimensions of groundwater. These insights have revealed groundwater as a dynamic component of both the water cycle and social-ecological systems, leading to an expansion in groundwater science that increasingly focuses on interactions between groundwater with ecological, socioeconomic, and Earth systems. This shift presents many opportunities that are conditional on broader, more interdisciplinary system conceptualizations, models, and methods that require the integration of a greater diversity of data in contrast to conventional hydrogeological investigations. Here, we catalogue 144 global open access datasets and dataset collections relevant to groundwater science that span elements of the hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, food systems, governance, management, and other socioeconomic system dimensions. The assembled catalogue offers a reference of existing data for use in interdisciplinary assessments, and we summarize these data across their primary system, spatial resolution, temporal range, data type, generation method, level of groundwater representation, and institutional location of lead authorship. The catalogue includes 15 groundwater datasets, 23 datasets explicitly linked with groundwater, and 106 datasets with implicit or potential groundwater connections. We find the majority of datasets are temporally static and that temporally dynamic data availability currently peaks during the 2000-2010 decade. Only a small fraction of temporally dynamic data are explicitly linked to groundwater, representing a significant opportunity for future work to address. We find that most groundwater datasets are generated by a small number of countries, including the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada. We raise three themes of possible priorities for future global groundwater data initiatives, which include: data improvements through more explicit integration of groundwater and prioritizing observed and temporally dynamic data; elevating regional and local scale data and perspectives to address challenges relating to equity and bias; and advancing and promoting data sharing initiatives founded on reciprocal benefits between global initiatives and data providers.
Decision-making framing in facial image comparison
Authors: Baker Kristen A.
Published: February 2025

Unfamiliar face identification is a challenging task, and is often considered to be perceptual in nature. This ignores the contribution of decision-making in face identification. Across three experiments we examined whether face-matching decisions would change depending on the framing of response options. In Experiment 1, participants completed an unfamiliar face matching task with the Same/Different, Same/Not-Same or Same/Proceed-to-Next-Trial response options. In Experiment 2, participants completed the task twice, once with the Same/Different response options and once with the Same/Different, Same/Not-Same or Same/Proceed-to-Next-Trial response options. In Experiment 3, participants completed the task when 50% or 80% of trials were matches, and used the Same/Different or Same/Proceed-to-Next-Trial response options. Whereas we found no evidence that face identification decisions were influenced by the framing of response options, we found evidence of a robust base rate effect. Together these findings suggest that decision making in unfamiliar face identification is a complex and selective process.
Usage frequency predicts lexicalization across languages
Authors: Khishigsuren Temuulen , Mollica Francis , Vylomova Ekaterina , Kemp Charles
Published: February 2025

Languages are more likely to have lexical items for some concepts (e.g. CHILD) than others (e.g. PARENT). We propose that the communicative need of a concept influences how often it is lexicalized across languages, and test the hypothesis that usage frequency (which also reflects communicative need) predicts lexicalization across languages. Our analyses consider more than a thousand concepts, and demonstrate that average usage frequency across dozens of languages is a relatively good predictor of the typological prevalence of lexicalization across hundreds of languages. This finding implies that cross-linguistic regularities in lexicalization can be attributed in part to shared communicative need across cultures.
Profiles of testosterone and pre-androgens and sexual function in premenopausal women
Authors: Werner Marlene , Van Lissa Caspar J. , Both Stephanie , Skiba Marina , Bell Robin , Davis Susan R.
Published: February 2025

Background: There is inconsistent evidence as to the role of testosterone and pre-androgens in premenopausal female sexual function and reported associations between blood concentrations of these hormones and female sexual function vary in strength.Aim: To examine the patterns of testosterone and pre-androgen concentrations and variations in sexual function in premenopausal eumenorrheic women.Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a sample of 588 premenopausal eumenorrheic women from the Grollo-Ruzzene Foundation Young Women’s Health Study. Socio-demographics, health information, and questionnaire data was collected using online surveys. Eligible women were invited to provide a blood sample. We ran latent profile (LPA) and subsequent analyses in R using RStudio.Outcomes: Indicator variables in the LPA included sexual arousal and desire domains of the Profile of Female Sexual Function and testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione, measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.Results: Analyses resulted in a pattern of three latent classes. Classes reporting relatively lower and higher sexual arousal (LPA-derived Means and 95% CIs: -0.79 [-1.24; -0.34] and 0.62 [0.51; 0.72]) did not differ significantly in sex steroid concentrations (testosterone: -0.21 [-0.38; -0.03] and -0.33 [-0.47; -0.20]; DHEA: -0.47 [-0.57; -0.37] and -0.26 [-0.39; -0.13]; androstenedione: -0.36 [-0.50; -0.22] and -0.39 [-0.49; -0.29]), while the class reporting relatively medium arousal (-0.11 [-0.31; 0.08]) showed the highest testosterone, DHEA and androstenedione concentrations (testosterone: 0.8 [0.60; 1.01]; DHEA: 0.99 [0.76; 1.23]; androstenedione: 1.08 [0.88; 1.29]). There were no significant differences in sexual desire between classes (-0.08 [-0.23; 0.06]; 0.00 [-0.13; 0.14]; 0.10 [-0.09; 0.30]) differing significantly in sex steroid concentrations (-0.69 [-0.80; -0.58], -0.04 [-0.15; 0.07], 0.94 [0.71; 1.16] for testosterone) nor associations between the sex steroid concentrations and degrees of sexual desire.Clinical Implications: These findings cast further doubt on the utility of measuring sex steroids for diagnosing female sexual dysfunction in premenopausal eumenorrheic women, even when considered in combination.Strengths & Limitations: We analyzed a large community sample and controlled for potentially biasing factors. We analyzed sex steroid concentrations determined with gold standard methodology. Excluding women with early menopause and menstrual dysfunction might have resulted in finding three, rather than more, latent classes.Conclusion: Testosterone and pre-androgen profiles do not clearly identify premenopausal eumenorrheic women with low sexual arousal and desire.
Comparing the Accuracy of Three Predictive Information Criteria for Bayesian Linear Multilevel Model Selection
Authors: Devine Sean , Falk Carl F. , Fujimoto Ken A.
Published: February 2025

Bayesian multilevel modeling techniques have become increasingly popular. As researchers leverage these techniques, information criteria—fit indices which provide information about a model’s fit to the data—play an important role in disambiguating between competing models. The deviance information criteria (DIC) has been historically popular and is computationally easy, yet newer indices such as Watanabe-Akaike information criterion (WAIC) and an approximation to the leave-one-out cross-validation information criterion (LOO-CV) have been recently introduced. However, researchers may be unsure about which criteria to use, as to our knowledge, a systematic evaluation of these Bayesian criteria in a multilevel context has not yet been undertaken. Complicating this matter, computation of these indices using the so-called marginal likelihood is sometimes recommended, yet use of the conditional likelihood is easier and more readily found in some popular software. In addition, researchers frequently select the model with the lowest value of the information criteria, discounting the presence of uncertainty in calculating the criteria. Across two extensive simulation studies meant to mimic experimental and observational studies, we investigate the model selection accuracy of conditional and marginal versions of DIC, WAIC, and LOO-CV; we also compare a lowest wins strategy versus one that considers model selection uncertainty. In general, indices based on the marginal likelihood had a slight advantage and performed similarly to each other, whereas under the conditional likelihood WAIC and LOO-CV outperformed DIC. In addition, we argue that a selection strategy that simply chooses the model with the lowest information criteria may result in overfitting.
Conceptual priming affects the efficiency of White (but not racially minoritized) children’s social categorizations
Authors: Lei Ryan F , Reid Grace , Kinsler Brandon , Faber Naomi
Published: February 2025

Once children learn category-relevant traits and characteristics, they must automatically apply them to people to navigate social interactions. Yet, how social categorization becomes automatic is not entirely clear. The present work tests whether and how priming conceptual knowledge of social categories might influence the efficiency of social categorization across development. Children (N = 223; Mage = 7.24, SDage = 2.51; 132 girls, 90 boys; 50.26% racially minoritized; 49.74% White) were primed with gender-relevant, race-relevant, or neutral words and then gender-categorized racially diverse faces under a time constraint. Priming concepts of social categories delayed categorization for White children 6 years and younger. By 12 years, priming categories facilitated White children’s automatic categorizations. Conceptual priming did not affect the efficiency of racially minoritized children’s social categorizations. Top-down information then contributes to how social categorization becomes efficient, but children’s identity influences what information they use to inform categorizations.
Testing the Congruency Hypothesis using meta-analysis: Are changes in oral contraceptive use correlated with partnered women’s sexual satisfaction?
Authors: Shiramizu Victor Kenji Medeiros , Stern Julia , Bartoš František , Rafiee Yasaman , Pollet Thomas Victor , Jones Benedict C
Published: February 2025

Based on claims that changes in women’s hormone levels influence their mating psychology, the Congruency Hypothesis proposes that women in relationships who change their hormonal contraceptive use after meeting their partner will report lower sexual satisfaction with their partner than women who do not change their oral contraceptive use. However, findings from studies testing this hypothesis have reported mixed results. Consequently, we conducted a meta-analysis of published studies on this topic. For the thirteen effects sizes from studies using between-subjects designs, the pooled correlation between congruency and sexual satisfaction was not statistically significant (r = .04, p = .091) and a Robust Bayesian meta-analysis found that the null hypothesis was moderately favoured over the Congruency Hypothesis (BF10 = 0.123, i.e., BF01 = 8.13, r = .003). For the four effect sizes from studies using within-subjects designs, the pooled correlation between congruency and sexual satisfaction was statistically significant (r = .18, p = .001) and a Robust Bayesian meta-analysis found weak evidence in favour of the Congruency Hypothesis (BF10 = 1.55, r = .09). Although the effect of congruency on sexual satisfaction may be statistically significant in some analyses, across all analyses, results indicated that the magnitude of the congruency effect was small. Thus, we suggest that it is unlikely that changes in oral contraceptive use have a substantial (i.e., large) effect on women’s sexual satisfaction on average. Still, some women might experience congruency effects and the overall evidence remains uncertain. More work, ideally in the form of randomized controlled trials, is needed to find a definite answer for research questions relying on the Congruency Hypothesis.
The impact of action descriptions on attribution of moral responsibility towards robots
Authors: O'Reilly Ziggy , Marchesi Serena , Wykowska Agnieszka
Published: February 2025

In the era of renewed fascination with AI and robotics, one needs to address questions related to their societal impact, particularly in terms of moral responsibility and intentionality. In seven vignette-based experiments we investigated whether the consequences of a robot or human’s actions, influenced participant’s intentionality and moral responsibility ratings. For the robot, when the vignettes contained mentalistic descriptions, moral responsibility ratings were higher for negative actions consequences than positive action consequences, however, there was no difference in intentionality ratings. Whereas, for the human, both moral responsibility and intentionality ratings were higher for negative action consequences. Once the mentalistic descriptions were removed from the vignettes and the moral responsibility question was clarified, we found a reversed asymmetry. For both robots and humans, participants attributed more intentionality and praise, for positive action consequences than negative action consequences. We suggest that this reversal could be due to people defaulting to charitable explanations, when explicit references to culpable mental states are removed from the vignettes.
Expert Authority and the Public Sphere: Media Intermediaries, Professional Norm Violation, and the Market for Expertise
Authors: Benjamin-Pollak Noah A. , Karunakaran Arvind
Published: February 2025

We examine the social processes that shape the market for expertise in the public sphere. Specifically, we develop a model of expert amplification to examine the role of professional norms and media intermediaries in skewing the selection and representation of experts to the public. Our model of expert amplification unpacks three interrelated processes: anticipatory selecting-out, a process where experts opt out of public discourse due to the anticipated penalties for professional norm violation; selective promotion, a process where supply-side intermediaries such as press officers, talent agents, public relations and other communications specialists, market a subset of experts to the media; and preferential selection, a process where demand-side intermediaries (e.g., media organizations) decide which subset of experts should be invited to their platform to discuss topics that are of interest and relevance to the public. Together, we examine how these processes amplify a certain demographic subset of experts over others in a cumulative manner and what the consequences are for the selection and representation of experts to the public, and to the legitimacy of expert authority, more generally
Do States Act Rationally and How Do We Know What They Think?
Authors: Vuving Alexander
Published: February 2025

This essay discusses two interrelated questions that have emerged in recent international relations literature, ‘How do states think?’ and ‘How do we know what states think?’, with an empirical focus on the Indo-Pacific. Lurking behind these questions is often the assumption that states are rational actors. This essay will therefore examine the concept of rationality, the state of the art about the rationality of states, and the strategic thinking of several states in the Indo-Pacific. I argue that it is the observer’s approach to a state that determines the state’s rationality according to Mearsheimer and Rosato’s homo theoreticus benchmarks, which model states as machines and angels rather than humans. When seen as rich tapestries rather than black boxes, states in the Indo-Pacific often violate this rationality standard. Based on insights from cognitive science, I suggest some directions for rethinking the rationality of foreign policy and reconceptualising the rational actor assumption.
A disposable state? Genesis of a rentier micro-state in the mining zone of Las Claritas (Venezuela)
Authors: Joxe Ludovic
Published: February 2025

In Venezuela, numerous armed groups known as sindicatos have taken advantage of the weakness of the central state to control mining areas. In so doing, these groups have established forms of rentier micro-states by maintaining sovereign functions (police, tax, customs, etc.) and taking over public services (water, electricity, health, education, transport, etc.). In this contribution, we provocatively ask to what extent such rentier micro-states can be deemed disposable. Through an ethnographic and documentary study of the Las Claritas mining area, we consider that, if they are indeed disposable, it is not so much because the Venezuelan state can dispose of them at will (although a coup de force by the Venezuelan army should not be excluded), but rather because the political organization required for mining can cease to exist once the subsoil resources have been depleted, thereby turning these areas into vulnerable and potentially ephemeral rentier micro-states.

Od obrzędu do zabawy: przemiany kolędowania w czasie tradycyjnych świąt dorocznych w Białorusi i Polsce (na przykładzie kolędowania Koniki w Dawyd-Haradku i chodzenia z kozą na Kujawach)
Authors: Leshkevich Alena
Published: February 2025

From rite to entertainment: the transformation of bypassing of the yards on traditional calendar holidays in Belarus and Poland (on the example of caroling Koniki in Dawyd-Haradok and walking with a goat in Kuyavya Region) The author analyzes how bypassing of the yards during calendar holidays has transformed from a sacral rite into an entertaining spectacle. This process is illustrated by the example of the Old New Year's Eve celebration Koniki (January 13) in Davyd-Haradok (Stolin District, Brest Region, Belarus) and bypassing of the yards with a goat (chodzenie z kozą) at the end of the Сarnival in Kuyavya Region near Włocławek (north-central Poland). The sacred meaning of the rituals is erased, the symbolism is forgotten, performative and social aspects come to the foreground. The costumes change, and new characters are added. Along with officially organized events, there are spontaneous tours of the yards. Some elements of the rites, once probably aimed primarily at young unmarried girls, are now intended for all people who are willing to host a group of masked people in their homes.
Канты XVIII стагоддзя як помнікі беларускага пісьменства
Authors: Svistunova Maryna
Published: February 2025

Kants of the XVIIIth century as monuments of Belarusian writing The article is dedicated to the identification of the problems that arise during the linguistic study of poems-songs known as kants. Kants and psalms, as one of their varieties, were widespread in Belarusian lands in the XVIIth–XVIIIth centuries and are known in modern times as part of various manuscript collections. The article states that scientific attention to kants is manifested primarily by musicologists and literary scholars, and the linguistic study of kants is very limited. A comparison of the publication of the texts of individual kants from the Kouranty collection of 1733 is made, some observations on the language of these kants are given, on the basis of which the main problems of the linguistic study of such works are outlined. It is claimed that Belarusian-language kants as popular original author's works of the XVIIIth century are a striking example of the use of the Belarusian language in written form and violate the stereotyped opinion about its decline during this period.

Authors: Yatiwella Y. K. U. B.
Published: February 2025

In a system recognized as a Sri Lankan folk culture, Sinhala folk riddles is a communication method used in the past to measure the fun and intelligence of rural people. Literary riddles and village riddles are important here. Does this understanding, which is used as a communication method, contribute to the development of individual intelligence and the development of group intelligence? The primary purpose of the research is to study these problems and educate the society by focusing on these Sinhala riddles of cultural value without allowing them to perish in the current social system that has technology at the force. This is qualitative research. A literature study as well as field study methods were used for data collection. The study was conducted with a sample of 10 poets and traditional Hewisi musicians and Raban players. The findings of the study revealed that literary riddles as well as folk riddles contribute to the development of individual and group intelligence. The conclusion of the research is that the community should be informed about these Sinhala people's riddles which contribute to the development of individual intelligence as well as the importance of entertainment among communication methods.

Published: February 2025

Ríos Ospina, Kevin. El historiador en el filósofo. A cuarenta años del fallecimiento de Michel Foucault, resulta interesante conmemorarlo escuchándolo como los historiadores han enseñado a escuchar a los muertos: con los ojos. Me propongo abrir el presente texto a las experiencias que la obra de Foucault produce. Analizo la aporía que atravesó su aventura intelectual y me pregunto por las relaciones que se tejen entre la filosofía y la historia en su pensamiento. La tesis sostenida es que el historiador está en el filósofo aporéticamente. Asimismo, afirmo que la obra de Foucault no puede comprenderse si es abstraída de las condiciones que la hicieron posible. Para esto, de la mano de la historia intelectual, indago aquellas condiciones de posibilidad de su discurso; entre ellas, las controvertidas interacciones intelectuales que tuvo con sus contemporáneos.

Capítulo noveno: la marcha del élan vital
Authors: Manzano Vargas Jorge
Published: February 2025

Manzano Vargas, Jorge. Capítulo noveno: la marcha del élan vital. Jorge Manzano sigue cuidadosamente las huellas de la vida en la concepción de Bergson. En capítulos anteriores se ha visto que Bergson da por supuesto el élan vital, es decir, no aborda cómo pudo haber surgido, sino que infiere su existencia a partir de la convergencia de diferentes líneas de hechos. Las explicaciones mecanicistas, “finalistas” o adaptativas se derrumban frente a un análisis detallado: las diversas líneas evolutivas muestran que la vida, originalmente simple, actúa sobre la materia que es tanto su instrumento como su obstáculo, de ahí el resultado imprevisible que el tiempo —la duración— se encarga de dar a luz. Tal es el caso del ser humano, una expresión del triunfo de la vida en la que se conjuntan la materia, el espíritu y la libertad. Manzano dedica la segunda parte del presente capítulo a examinar en qué consiste el “finalismo” del que Bergson fue acusado y para ello se sitúa en el corazón de la duración —la durée— y dialoga con la filosofía escolástica. En la parte final, el texto se detiene a reconsiderar el élan vital a la luz de la duración interior y de la solidaridad de los vivientes.
As implicações jurídicas da lei 13.146/2015 nos negócios jurídicos celebrados por pessoas com deficiência
Authors: Edgar Batista de Medeiros Júnior  , Rafael Pacheco Lanes Ribeiro  , Débora Fernandes Pessoa Madeira
Published: February 2025

O presente trabalho discute as implicações jurídicas da lei 13.146/2015 nos negócios jurídicos praticados por pessoa com deficiência. Para isso, foi necessário discorrer sobre o novo sistema de incapacidade do Código Civil de 2002 e sua relação com o conceito social de pessoa com deficiência. Sabe-se que a pessoa com deficiência é considerada, em regra, absolutamente capaz e, portanto, celebrar negócios jurídicos sem assistente ou representante. Neste caso, os negócios jurídicos não podem ser declarados desprovidos de validade com base na deficiência. Por outro lado, caso a pessoa com deficiência, por meio da curatela, tenha sua incapacidade reconhecida por decisão judicial, os negócios jurídicos celebrados pela pessoa com deficiência sem a presença do curador serão considerados inválidos No instituto da tomada de decisão apoiada têm-se divergências doutrinárias, pois alguns autores entendem que os negócios jurídicos celebrados pela pessoa com deficiência sem a presença dos apoiadores terão validade e outros entendem que serão inválidos ou não terão eficácia prática.
Debatendo o aborto na sala de aula em dois contextos escolares no meio norte do Brasil
Authors: Marcos Paulo Magalhães de Figueiredo
Published: February 2025

Este artigo tem como tela dois relatos de experiência no ensino médio em dois contextos escolares diferentes. Em ambos os relatos, foi realizada um debate sobre a descriminalização do aborto no Brasil. O primeiro relato é de 2018, em uma escola no interior do Maranhão. O segundo relato aconteceu em Teresina, capital do Piauí, em 2022. A partir das aulas foi possível captar como discentes do ensino médio significam o aborto, e como passaram a significar após os momentos em sala de aula. Conclui-se que temas tidos como sensíveis e “ideológicos” possuem uma potência didática e inclusiva no ensino básico.

Published: February 2025

O artigo visa discutir a objetificação da pessoa idosa residente em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPIs) que ainda operam sob a lógica asilar. Utilizando a revisão sistemática de literatura como metodologia, o estudo investiga como essas instituições, funcionando no modelo asilar, frequentemente tratam os residentes de maneira contrária ao que a política de assistência propõe, reduzindo-as a meros objetos de cuidado e controle. A revisão inclui uma análise crítica de artigos acadêmicos e documentos legais, salientando a prevalência de práticas institucionais que negam a individualidade e autonomia das pessoas idosas institucionalizadas em espaços asilares. Os resultados revelam que a lógica asilar presente em algumas ILPIs perpetua uma cultura de passividade e dependência, impactando negativamente a qualidade de vida. O estudo conclui com recomendações para adoção de práticas mais humanizadas, visando transformar o cuidado institucional em um processo que garanta a dignidade e os direitos das pessoas idosas.

Published: February 2025

Esta revisión describe los cambios fisiológicos que ocurren en los sistemas respiratorio y cardiovascular como parte del proceso de envejecimiento y evalúa el fitness cardiorrespiratorio (FCR), destacando el VO2peak como un posible biomarcador de fragilidad en personas mayores (PM). La evidencia disponible indica una relación inversa entre el VO2peak y la fragilidad, sugiriendo que este parámetro, al reflejar el estado funcional de sistemas fisiológicos clave, podría desempeñar un papel crucial en la identificación temprana de esta condición. Esto es particularmente relevante, ya que una detección oportuna permitiría diseñar estrategias de intervención preventiva personalizadas, enfocadas en mejorar la funcionalidad física y reducir riesgos como caídas, hospitalizaciones o pérdida de autonomía en las PM. Sin embargo, aunque los resultados actuales son alentadores, aún se necesitan estudios longitudinales y ensayos clínicos bien diseñados para establecer con mayor certeza la utilidad clínica del VO2peak como marcador pronóstico y guía para intervenciones terapéuticas.

Published: February 2025

This project focuses on the design and development of a cost-effective WebVR commerce system prototype to enhance the online shopping experience. Despite the rapid growth of E-commerce, platforms face challenges such as limited interactivity, static product presentations, and lengthy purchasing procedures, which often lead customers to abandon online shopping in favor of physical stores. The proposed WebVR system leverages virtual reality to address these issues, providing an immersive and interactive shopping experience. By enabling users to visualize and explore products in a 3D virtual environment, the system bridges the gap between online and in-store shopping. However, virtual reality often requires costly hardware and powerful workstations to process the positioning data. Therefore, this project focuses on utilizing affordable technologies and frameworks to create a seamless and accessible solution, making WebVR a more practical option for a wider audience.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the evolution of Artificial Intelligence Comic Strip (AICS) platforms by analyzing their pricing strategies, subscription models, and user satisfaction. Fifteen leading platforms were systematically selected based on popularity, unique features, and diverse user groups, including beginners, educators, and professionals. They employed user feedback and platform analysis to evaluate pricing models and their impact on accessibility and retention. Key findings revealed five dominant pricing strategies: freemium models, tiered subscriptions, credit-based systems, pay-per-use options, and customizable services. While freemium models effectively introduce users to the platforms, high subscription fees and complicated credit systems often hinder user retention. User feedback indicated dissatisfaction with unclear pricing structures and limited affordability, particularly in regions with financial constraints. Adaptive pricing models incorporating user engagement metrics and regional economic factors were identified as potential solutions to enhance accessibility. Platforms combining affordability with robust features achieved better satisfaction rates and broader user adoption. Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of transparent communication and simplified interfaces to address barriers for non-expert users. This study underscores the need for AICS platforms to adopt inclusive pricing and user-centric designs. By doing so, they can attract a diverse audience, encourage creative participation, and strengthen their market position. These findings contribute to understanding how AICS platforms can balance user satisfaction and revenue generation while fostering creative expression and democratizing storytelling tools.

Розглядаються методи прогнозування імовірності безвідмовної роботи багатоцехових компресорних станцій системи транзитного транспорту газу в умовах їх неповного завантаження. Для визначення зміщення характеристик нагнітачів, які використовують коефіцієнти технічного стану, по окремих характе-ристиках в долях одиниці, вказують на погіршення якості роботи агрегату по даних показниках. Сукупності значень коефіцієнтів технічного стану нагнітачів за їх доступними показниками дають можливість визначити типи несправностей, що виникають у нагнітачах. Визначення базових значень коефіцієнта технічного стану передбачає наявність виміряних режимних характеристик нагнітача, а також комерційної витрати газу через нагнітач. При неповному завантаженні  системи та зміні величини продуктивності процес формування депресії тиску у кожний поточний момент часу є нестаціонарним та характеризується коливанням тисків із певною частотою та амплітудою. Суперпозиція тисків при її верхній граничній лінії депресії може призвести до перевищення початковим тиском допустимого рівня. Щоб запобігти по-точному   перенавантаженню трубопроводу пропонується знижувати його початковий тиск. В таких си-туаціях прогнозування безвідмовної експлуатації системи має особливе значення, оскільки підходи до принципу оптимізації режимів роботи і вибір критерію оптимальності мають певні особливості, зокрема, це стосується багатоцехових станцій. Запропоновано графоаналітичний метод визначення ймовірностей відмовлення елемента за параметром у кожному міжконтрольному періоді, а також сумарної імовірності відмови за термін служби елемента. Метод придатний для будь-яких законів розподілу шляхом плавного регулювання параметра. Установлена залежність відмовлень одного елемента від інших, враховує те, що вона може бути обумовлена загальним режимом і умовами роботи газоперекачувальних агрегатів як елементів системи, зміною умов роботи одного елемента при відмові іншого.
ДЕФОРМАЦІЇ ТА ЗАКОНОМІРНОСТІ РУХУ ОЧИСНИХ ПОРШНІВ ІЗ ГІПЕРПРУЖНИХ МАТЕРІАЛІВ РІВНОПРОХІДНИМИ ТРІЙНИКАМИ ТРУБОПРОВОДІВ

Щоб збільшити обсяги видобування газу, підвищити енергоефективність трубопроводів та зменшити втрати енергоносіїв через аварії системи збирання та транспортування газу виснажених газових родовищ, газові, водопровідні та теплові мережі треба регулярно очищувати від накопичених забруднень у внутрішній порожнині. Якісно очищувати такі трубопровідні системи без втрат транспортованого продукту можна суцільнолитими очисними поршнями із гіперпружних матеріалів. Виготовлено дослідні зразки очисних поршнів із силіконового компаунда твердістю 30 одиниць за шкалою Шор А та поліуретану твердістю 80 одиниць за шкалою Шор А різної геометричної форми (манжетно-чашковий, багатодисковий, циліндрично-дводисковий та гантельно-дисковий). Для експериментальних досліджень розроблено і змонтовано установки із скляних і металевих труб,  між якими поміщено рівнопрохідні трійники. Дослідження виконано для двох схем руху потоків у трійнику. За першою схемою потік повітря входить у відгалуження трійника та в одну зі сторін його магістралі, а поршень входить у відгалуження трійника. За другою схемою потік повітря і поршень входять у відгалуження трійника і виходять в одну із сторін магістралі трійника. Експериментально встановлено, що найменший тиск у запоршневому просторі для проходження трійників потрібний манжетно-чашковому очисному поршню із силіконового компаунда. Сприяє цьому легке вигинання його осердя та відсутність суттєвого опору цьому ущільнювальних елементів поршня (манжет та чашок). Натомість найбільший тиск у запоршневому просторі для проходження трійників потрібний циліндрично-дводисковому поршню із силіконового компаунда. Порші із поліуретану застрягають у трійниках через мінімальне вигинання їх середньої частини та виникнення зазору між їх задньою частиною і внутріш-ньою стінкою відгалуження трійника.
