МІЖНАРОДНА ПІДТРИМКА УКРАЇНИ ПІД ЧАС РОСІЙСЬКОЇ ВІЙСЬКОВОЇ АГРЕСІЇ (ПРАВОВІ ОСНОВИ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ДОПОМОГИ)
Authors: Зима В. М.
Published: January 2023

8 травня 2022 на саміті країн «Великої сімки» було висловлено повну підтримку України в її боротьбі проти агресії Росії. Всі сім країн зобов'язалися надавати Україні військову допомогу, боротися з російською дезінформацією у світі, також G7 будуть допомагати відбудовувати Україну. Відповідно ними було взято зобов’язання поступово відмовляться від залежності від російської енергії, зокрема шляхом поступового припинення або заборони імпорту російської нафти. Вживати заходів, щоб заборонити або іншим чином не допустити надання ключових послуг, від яких залежить Росія, посилювати санкційну кампанію проти фінансових еліт і членів сім’ї. 9 травня 2022 Президент США підписав закон про ленд-ліз військової зброї для України. Востаннє аналогічна процедура діяла під час Другої світової війни. Зараз він може стати важливим фактором у російсько-українському протистоянні. Треба зауважити, що партнери з-за океану дають Україні не лише зброю і техніку, але й гроші на купівлю іншого озброєння. Рішення про передачу озброєння приймається за прискореною процедурою. Згідно із законом президент США уповноважує уряд надавати допомогу у тому розмірі, який необхідний. В той же час, програму ленд-лізу будуть виконувати не лише США, але й ключові союзники НАТО. І це озброєння буде виходити за межі поточних поставок протитанкових і легких зенітних ракет, включаючи системи протиповітряної оборони середньої та великої дальності, мобільну артилерію та військові безпілотники, а також продовольство, паливо, медичне обладнання та інше, щоб Україна могла підтримувати свою боротьбу. Досі залишається відкритим питання щодо відшкодування збитків громадянам України в результаті збройної агресії. Зауважено, що для дієвості відшкодування шкоди від військової агресії кожна країна у національне законодавство повинна ввести норму, про те що на державу-агресора покладається майнова відповідальність за будь- яку шкоду, заподіяну майну мирного населення в результаті бойових дій, незалежно від результатів цієї війни. У таких випадках майно держави-агресора та пов’язаних з нею осіб, яке знаходиться на території третіх країн, може бути використане для відшкодування збитків потерпілій державі, її муніципалітетам, приватним фізичним і юридичним особам та їх об’єднанням на підставі рішень судів відповідної країни. Запровадження таких норм значно спростить процедуру відшкодування збитків: потерпілим не потрібно буде доказувати кожен окремий факт порушення законів і звичаїв війни військовослужбовцями держави-агресора, відсутність військової необхідності в їхніх діях та причинно-наслідковий зв’язок між їх діями та завданою шкодою. Потерпілому достатньо буде довести факт вчинення агресії, який, по суті, є преюдиційним, та факт заподіяння шкоди в результаті бойових дій, які стали наслідком цієї агресії. На сьогодні в Україні зареєстровано пакет законопроєктів даного напрямку.

A Gamble on Gender: Perceptions of the Singular “They” Pronoun among College-Age Students
Authors: Cheesebrough Julia
Published: January 2023

This paper discusses a study that was carried out with the aim of discovering the perceptions of the singular “they” pronoun (both general and specified) among college students with a focus on the interaction of the gender of the participant with their perceptions. The linguistic variables considered were the level of acceptability of different pronouns, pronouns used by participants, and direct perceptions of the singular “they,” while the social variables were gender, age, first language, and academic year. The hypotheses are as follows: men would find the singular “they” (both forms) less acceptable than women and nonbinary genders, and in the overall data, the general singular “they” would be rated lower than the pronouns he and she, and the specified singular “they” would be rated lower than that. The study utilizes an online survey targeting college students containing 30 questions about the acceptability of various pronouns, including questions that asked participants to rate sentences on how grammatically acceptable they were (1 being not acceptable, and 5 being very acceptable) and questions regarding social situations involving pronouns. Some general observations of the data are as follows: 94.9% of respondents have met someone who uses the singular they pronoun. Additionally, younger people are more likely to rate the specified singular they higher. Most relevantly, the general singular “they” was rated the same as the pronouns “he” and “she,” and the specified singular “they” was rated highly but significantly lower than any other pronoun asked about. This study helps to fill gaps in LGBT+ linguistics research and provides a wider knowledge base for this topic. Repetitions with larger sample populations would be valuable.
Westernization and Its Effects on the Sound of Japan
Authors: Boles Coleton
Published: January 2023

A major source of influence on Japanese musicians has historically been Western art, and the resulting music has also served to influence much of Western contemporary music. This paper forms a timeline containing some key moments in Japanese music history, including the pioneering of Japanese-language rock, synth-pop, and Shibuya-kei. This investigation into these important moments is supplemented by quotes from interviews of musicians, including Haruomi Hosono of Yellow Magic Orchestra and Happy End, Keigo Oyamada of Flipper’s Guitar, and Yasuharu Konishi of Pizzicato Five. This paper finds that a country’s art and culture, in this case Japanese music, can evolve through the importation and assimilation of foreign culture.
The Redistricting and Voter Suppression in a Post-Pandemic America
Authors: Slatter Joshua
Published: January 2023

The 2020 election was a referendum on many pressing issues of the time. COVID-19, climate change, and civil unrest propelled Americans to the voting booth in unprecedented numbers, shattering previous turnout records for both previous Vice President Joe Biden and the incumbent Donald Trump. Biden and the Democratic Party field won, but narrowly. With the Democratic Party ostensibly holding only a slim majority in the House and the Vice Presidency as a tiebreaker in a dead-locked Senate, there have been large cries of a “stolen election” and “rampant voter fraud.” This has prompted several states, usually with Republican majorities, to pass sweeping restrictions on voting. Using both historical and contemporary lenses, this paper investigates the causes, effects, and motivations to curb voting accessibility and redistricting with an emphasis on red and swing states in the aftermath of the 2020 election, as well as potential solutions to combat the push to further restrict voting rights.

Published: January 2023

The global crisis caused by Covid-19 and its impact on the healthcare system has been far-reaching and challenging in virtually all countries. Lean six sigma in Malaysia has never improvised an account for this case of the uncommon event as it only focuses on daily operations and productions that are in stability and in alignment with the demand to capacity in an effective way. This study, therefore, attempts to compare and contrast the previous researches on lean practices, six sigma, industrial evolution, and healthcare sustainability to investigate where the paucity of literature lies and to deploy new strategies for the post-pandemic. Currently, the healthcare industry is motivated to update its conventional delivery systems to smart sophisticated systems due to the growing challenges within the services organization. The study found that integrating industrial revolution 4.0 technologies into the services optimizes sustainable healthcare management. As providing affordable, reliable, and safe healthcare while improving efficient performance remains challenging in the healthcare industry, this study posits that a hybrid of industrial revolution technologies, lean practices, and six sigma are enhancers of social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The study also reveals the significant contributions of operations and services management practices and how the strategic implementation of modern technologies and performance variation can improve sustainable performance in the healthcare sector
DETERMINING BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLES IN BASKET WEAVING OF MANOBO TRIBESMEN IN SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES

Published: January 2023

The author determine the Bernoulli’s Principles behind the Indigenous Knowledge System and Practices (IKSP) of Manobo Dulangan in Sultan Kudarat and Erumanen Manuvu of Cotabato Province in their craft arts particularly in their bamboo weaving. An ethnographic research, whose main instruments are keen observation of these  two (2) major Indigenous Cultural Communities(ICC’s) mostly coming from Central Mindanao in Sultan Kudarat  and Cotabato province, through the National Culture in Indigenous People (NCIP)-Certificate of Compliance(CoCs), where randomly selected Manobo master weavers executed their masterpiece in bamboo’s weaving with archaeological concepts. The results that all fish scooping baskets of Manobos applied the mathematical concepts of Bernoulli’s Principle like Area one (A1) is larger than Area two(A2) (A1<<A2) or vice versa, directly proportional to the Pressure(P) and the Volume(V) of the water(fresh/salt) going inside the baskets. The Net Force(Fnet) of the water going inside the baskets somewhat affects the fish caught by the Manobos as they use this as the main livelihood in their respective communities. More fishes are caught as well. Further, the geometric designs of the weaving patterns of the fish scooping baskets are also directly connected to the main variables of the Bernoulli’s Principles. Finally the integration of the results in science education is highly recommended.
Open-Source Information – the Basis for Business Intelligence
(BI)
Authors: Lucić Danijela
Published: January 2023

The paper discusses the relationship between business intelligence (BI) and intelligence discipline based on information from open sources, better known as OSINT (open-source intelligence). The importance of the intelligence methodology – the intelligence cycle – is emphasized, which presupposes planning, systematic collection of information, its processing and analysis, and dissemination to end users. The goal is, ultimately, to make a business decision based on the knowledge. The development of BI and OSINT is discussed as well as the ideas that emerged in the 1970s when the importance of intelligence logic in the sphere of economy, and in society in general, was pointed out. Given the lack of empirical examples, the paper points out at the normative level that successful business is possible by relying on business intelligence (BI) and open-source information (OSINT), assuming the possession of analytical capacities, above all human and technological, which are capable to extrapolate the information necessary for a quality business decision from the immeasurable amount of data.
Load Balancing Analysis Using Round-Robin and Least-Connection Algorithms for Server Service Response Time
Authors: Wira Harjanti Trinugi , Setiyani Hari , Trianto Joko
Published: January 2023

Today's internet network is expanding quickly, which encourages consumers to connect to more server services. A reliable server system is required to handle these circumstances. One approach that can be taken is to implement multiple servers. However, using many servers affects the response time of the server to be able to serve requests. Improving server system services through the load balancing method needs to be balanced with analysis, testing and evaluation of the network architecture and algorithms used in order to produce an optimal server system. In order to determine the algorithm to be tested optimal response time value, this study compares and analyses the load balancing approach utilizing the least-connection algorithm and the round-robin algorithm. Based on the test results using a request value of 500 connections/second for 1000 requests and 600 connections/second for 1200 requests, the round-robin algorithm looks slightly better than the least-connection algorithm. However, in the test scenario for the value of 700 connections/second for 1400 requests, 800 connections/second for 1600 requests, and 900 connections/second for 1800 requests, the least-connection algorithm looks superior. So that the average response time of the least-connection algorithm is smaller when there is an increase in connections. This condition has an impact on the faster the server responds to requests from users so that server performance can be continuously improved.

Authors: Palamar Andriy , Stadnyk Mariia , Palamar Mariia
Published: January 2023

The paper considers the issue of improving the methods of uninterruptible power supply intelligent control based on adaptive algorithms with the use of artificial neural network technologies. An adaptive PID regulation method of the UPS battery charge current is proposed. A neural network based control scheme with adjustment of PID regulation coefficients has been developed. The simulation modeling was used to search for the artificial neural network topology, which would be the most effective according to the criteria of the battery charge current regulation accuracy. The use of artificial neural networks in the uninterruptible power supply control system made it possible to obtain more effective results for maintaining a stable battery charge current in the transient.
Model of data flow control subsystem of the manet class mobile radio network control system
Authors: Kramska Yuliia , Salnyk Serhii , Vasylenko Serhii , Mavrina Olena
Published: January 2023

The article proposes a model of the data flow control subsystem of MANET class mobile radio control system to evaluate the effectiveness of the model, which will be built based on the developed methods and techniques (corresponding units). The essence of the model is to apply appropriate methods of DFCS control, which interact with each other and other functional subsystems within the operation of the subsystem units and their interaction, based on the target function. To ensure effective control of a mobile radio network in conditions of frequent changes of the situation (operational, tactical, communication, etc.) is possible only if there is a nodal control system capable of making control decisions in conditions of uncertainty. In addition, provision of the ability of mobile radio networks to self-organization, as well as adaptation of its nodes to different operating conditions requires the presence of a training subsystem as part of the node control system. To ensure effective control of a mobile radio network in conditions of frequent changes of the situation (operational, tactical, communication, etc.) is possible only if there is a nodal control system capable of making control decisions in conditions of uncertainty. In addition, provision of the ability of mobile radio networks to self-organization, as well as adaptation of its nodes to different operating conditions requires the presence of a training subsystem as part of the node control system. Considering the peculiarities of the functioning of MANET class radio networks, the article proposes to intellectualize the control processes by using knowledge processing technologies in the construction of a node control system. Based on the integrated use of fuzzy logic and neural networks, the probabilities of violations are considered, which, depending on the parameters of the state of the nodes, allow selecting the required value of the violation of the state of the network. Unlike existing models that are used in computer or fixed networks that do not require resource-intensive structure, in this model it is proposed to develop the structure of the DFCS to the requirements and features of usage in the mobile radio network. The application of the model will allow: to simplify and improve the structure of the construction of the data flow control subsystem; to process incomplete, inaccurate, unpredictable, different in its physical content data; to reduce the time of making a control decision. The further directions of research will be the development of the method of connectivity of the elements of the data flow control subsystem of the mobile radio network control system.

Anthropogenic activities are responsible for enhancing the concentration of various toxic gases that produces bad Ozone in the troposphere which is harmful to human health. The specific objective of this research was to analyze the spatiotemporal variations in a vertical column of Ozone (O3) over Saudi Arabia during 2006-2016 using Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) onboard AQUA platform and AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) data. The results show that the optical depth of Ozone column varied from 252 Dobson Units (DU) to 264 DU. The main reason of this variation corresponds to the increase in O3 precursors including Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). The concentration of CO2 varied between (379-401) Parts Per Million (PPM), SO2 varied (3.5x10-6 - 4x10-6kg m-2) kg m-2 and NO2 varies (2.25x1015 - 2.5x1015)1/cm2 during the investigated timeframe. The results confirm that NO2 and SO2 have contributed directly in O3 formation while CO2 just increased regional temperatures that enhanced the optical depth of O3.
Role of Inter-Organizational Information Integration in successful E-Governance
Authors: Afzaal Hafiz Muhammad , Masood Sameen
Published: January 2023

The global emerging trends of E-Governance utilizes Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to support the governance functions. It emphases on improving governance by innovating administrative processes, transforming relationships, improving public services delivery, ensuring accountability, increasing participation and collaboration among civil society, government and private sector. Whereas, E-Governance is considered a revolutionary reform of promoting good governance through greater control over state power, authority and resources to promote equality, peace and prosperity by eliminating corruption, unemployment and hunger. Pakistan had made huge investments on deploying ICTs infrastructure and human resource development in public sector but the country could not achieve the expected outcomes. The results show that public sector has adequate level of ICTs infrastructure and competent human resource to obtain the promising benefits of these initiatives. However, all these resources remained underutilized which is considered a public sector dilemma in Pakistan. Most of public sector businesses are still relying on the manual systems rather than the fully computerized or automated and the public officials are bound to exchange and processes information manually. The under-utilization of these technologies and human resource cannot reap the benefits of E-Governance and the refore could not promote transparency, accountability, equality, and participation for sustainable socio-economic growth and development of Pakistan.

Pakistan has faced numerous natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, landslides and environmental degradation which severely affects the Pakistan’s economy and results in various problems like causalities, diseases, water stress and severe damages (e.g., houses, public infrastructure and agricultural land erosion). There is a lack of systematic approaches to analyze pre and post damage assessment for estimation of exact loses and the total cost for rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure in an efficient way. There exist a variety of mechanisms but GIS based flood mapping is considered the most efficient to manage the flood situation. This study is focused on evaluation of flood affected areas especially in Punjab using WorldView-2, 8-band multi-spectral imagery by applying Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS techniques. The research area is comprised of Kot Addu and Muzaffargarh Districts in Punjab province of Pakistan that faced a catastrophic super flood of 2010. The WorldView-2, Quick Bird and multispectral satellite imagery are capable of making better decisions and assessment of flood effected area accurately. RS and GIS techniques can achieve the objectives and significant analyses through visual interpretations. These techniques are also used to identify the flood affected regions. The study site was examined by applying supervised classification on the basis of the training areas which were obtained during the field surveys in the study site. Supervised classification determines that 16900.96 Hectors of agriculture land was damaged while Sparse Riverine Forest had the area 44.52 hectors. The damaged built-up area was 1805.78 Hectors. RS and GIS techniques are efficient for flood mapping.

The presented study introduces the most common and significant insect pests of the grapevine (Vitis vinifera) in Slovakia, specifically the occurrence of the European grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana) and the American grapevine leafhopper (Scaphoideus titanus). Historical records set prerequisites to studying the complex interactions between the pests and their host plant. If they are not understood sufficiently, they may have devastating consequences on the grape-growing. The research was carried out in the model vineyards in Jelenec, Ladice and Topoľčianky during the period from April to September 2019 and 2021. Jelenec and Ladice had six monitoring sites, Topoľčianky had seven monitoring sites. Data were collected in approximately 30-day cycles. The aim of research was to monitor the incidence of insect pests in selected vineyards and identify their relation to environmental conditions. Pheromone traps were used throughout the research. The insect traps in combination with species-specific pheromone represent a reliable method for the pest monitoring. Based on aim studying the link between insect pests and climate conditions, traps were dispersed at the place of installation of the microclimatic dataloggers and the automatic stations. Data on the occurrence of the pests were subsequently evaluated in the context of the climate variability (temperature, wind speed, precipitation) and distance of the locality from the forest using Redundancy Analysis. It was confirmed that the insect pests are unequally distributed in the studied region and also inside the vineyards. Using Redundancy Analysis, we were able to explain the bonds in a maximum of 40% insect pests-environmental factors relationships. This research results show the need for regular monitoring of insect species, taking into account microclimatic as well as other ecological factors to optimize agrotechnical interventions.

We present the history of introduction and further naturalization, recent distribution, ecological and coenotic peculiarity of Impatiens glandulifera Royle (Balsaminaceae) in Ukraine. The species of Asian origin was cultivated as an ornamental plant at the beginning of the 20th century in west regions of Ukraine. The main periods and directions of spreading are reconstructed. The map of recent distribution of the species is presented. The first escape from cultivation was recorded in 1938 in the villages Osii and Hankovytsia of Transcarpathian region and in 1939 in Mykhailivka of Khmelnytskyi region. Recently it is a species with high invasive potential in Ukraine, especially in Transcarpathian and western forest region of Ukraine, where it is a transformer. Syntaxonomical scheme of plant communities with participation of I. glandulifera in Ukraine is presented, the species is a component of 13 associations of 6 classes. The species was noted in 11 habitat types of the EUNIS classification. The assessment of the impact of the species on the phytobiota is given.

Published: January 2023

Peak sporting performance requires optimal levels of health and fitness. Rhinitis, with its proven detrimental effects on sleep and mood, and its association with asthma, can clearly compromise athletic ability. Nasal health is therefore of key importance to the athlete. While not a limiting factor in a single exercise effort, the effects of nasal dysfunction can have repercussions in the post-exercise recovery period. Furthermore, it is linked with the development of asthma and may increase susceptibility to upper respiratory tract symptoms. This review aims to investigate the physiology of the nose during exercise, examine the relationship between exercise and nasal dysfunction, and consider the impact that dysfunction may have on an athlete. Lastly, the authors describe the diagnosis and treatment of rhinitis in athletes.
Targeting Mast Cells as a Viable Therapeutic Option in Endometriosis
Authors: Hart David A.
Published: January 2023

Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects ˜10% of young women worldwide. Pain and infertility are the two most common features of the disease. The condition appears to be sex hormone-dependent, although a subset of females with the condition still experience symptoms post-menopause. The aetiology of endometriosis induction still remains elusive, and surgery to remove the lesions often fails to cure the condition, as the lesions often reappear. The lesions contain stromal cells, blood vessels, nerves, and numerous mast cells. In some respects, endometrial lesions resemble a chronic fibrotic scar-like tissue that does not resolve. Studies in other fibrotic abnormal healing conditions have revealed that targeting mast cells, as a central component of what is called a ‘neural–mast cell–fibroblast’ axis, by repurposing asthma drugs can prevent induction of the abnormal healing phenotype. Given the similarities between conditions with abnormal healing phenotypes and endometrial lesions, it is postulated that taking a similar approach to target endometrial lesion mast cells could exert a benefit for patients with endometriosis. This review also outlines approaches to assess the likelihood that targeting mast cells could lead to clinical trials using such ‘repurposed’ mast cell targeted drugs.

Desa atau kelurahan merupakan lembaga pemerintah paling bawah sebagai ujung tombak yang langsung berhadapan dengan masyarakat. Pemerintah telah menjadikan teknologi menjadi salah satu bekal kemampuan yang dapat dimanfaatkan oleh pendidikan dan masyarakat khususnya di desa. Program-program pendidikan dan latihan secara formal maupun non formal yang memberikan bekal ketrampilan dan kemampuan dalam menggunakan dan memanfaatkan perangkat teknologi informasi dan komunikasi menjadi prioritas kebutuhan. Desa yang menjadi mitra dalam program pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah Desa Besuk Agung Kecamatan Besuk Kabupaten Probolinggo. Pembangunan yang dilaksanakan di Desa Besuk Agung Kecamatan Besuk selama ini telah menunjukkan kemajuan di berbagai sektor bidang kehidupan masyarakat. Berdasarkan observasi yang dilakukan oleh tim, sebagian besar urusan administrasi sudah dilaksanakan secara terkomputerisasi. Namun demikian Jumlah aparatur desa yang menguasai teknologi komputer sangat sedikit dan terbatas pada tenaga muda, akibatnya jika mereka tidak hadir di kantor maka kegiatan administrasi akan terganggu. Pengetahuan komputer tenaga aparatur desa ini juga masih terbatas, khususnya pada pengolahan data menggunakan Microsoft Excel untuk pengolahan data yang umum saja. Metode yang dilakukan pada kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) adalah pelatihan. Pada kegiatan pelatihan, metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif melalui teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam bentuk ceramah, diskusi, pelatihan, dan dokumentasi. Pada saat pelaksanaan peserta sangat antusias mengikuti pelatihan. Peserta pelatihan banyak menanyakan tentang pengaplikasian Microsoft Excel pada data-data desa, misalnya data penerima bantuan Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH), yang berkaitan dengan duplikasi data, pengelompokan, dll. Harapannya kegiatan ini bermanfaat bagi Desa Besuk Agung dan tim mahasiswa.

Smart City is a solution to overcome various problems in urban areas through interactive internet-based applications that provide various services that can be accessed by the public online. By 2020, more than 50% of the population in Indonesia live in urban areas, and this number will continue to increase in the future. To facilitate urban population services, the government has developed smart city services in various cities since the last 5 years. Such development needs to be supported from various fields, including from the technical side of system development. Smart city applications must be reliable so that they can be used properly by the community. In this study, reliability testing was carried out on six smart city applications in six cities, namely Live Tangerang, Sadayana Bandung, Jogja Smart Services, Cimahi SmartCity, Nganjuk Smart City and Tuban Smart City using tour-based exploratory testing techniques. The test results show that there are deficiencies or bugs found in the form of inconvenience to use because there is no error handling on the input form, an unresponsive interface, unavailability of information, and imperfect navigation. In addition, there are some bugs that are quite annoying, namely the sudden closing of the application when the user uses certain features.
