Published: October 2024

Environmental concerns have gained international attention as a result of rising urbanisation and population expansion. One of the main sectors responsible for the devastation of the environment is the construction industry. It is responsible for approximately 40% of global energy consumption and nearly 30% of greenhouse gasses. Aside from the energy crisis, climate change, global warming, declining biodiversity, and health issues are some of the challenges facing current society. Those have led to the amalgamation of natural vegetation into the built environment. Amongst several forms of natural vegetation such as rain gardens, street trees, urban drainage systems, green roofs, and green walls, etc., Due to the limited availability of land and the multiple advantages that it offers in terms of three sustainability pillars, green walls and roofs represent the most technologically sound solutions.

Published: October 2024

Urban planning necessitates public participation to ensure that every individual’s voice and requirements are heard and considered, thereby promoting inclusive urban development. According to UN-Habitat (2018), public participation fosters a positive relationship between a government and the public by communicating effectively and solving conflicts collaboratively. Despite the theoretical emphasis on participatory planning in planning practices, research has identified a lack of community participation in planning-related contexts, leading to the current gap between urban planning and public participation. The incompatibility between communication preferences and the public’s preferred method of engagement significantly contributed to the lack of public engagement in urban planning using traditional approaches [1]. Furthermore, in the local context, the existing participatory planning methodologies are outdated and fail to motivate people to voice their opinions. Given this situation, we hypothesize that incorporating advanced digital technology and an augmented reality application into a participatory planning methodology could enhance community involvement in planning and de-signing public spaces in cities based on their needs.

Acceptance of health information systems in Sri Lanka using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis
Authors:   Department of Information Technology, Faculty of Information Technology, University of Moratuwa, Senthilrajah T. , Ahangama S.
Published: October 2024

The global doctor-patient ratio is 17 per 1000 population, however, it is 1.23 per 1000 population in Sri Lanka [1]. As it is far behind the expected numbers, the Sri Lankan public health sector is facing challenges in providing efficient services to citizens free of charge, including surgeries and cancer treatments. Looking at Nordic countries adoption of HIS has reached 95%-100% and the health sector has been digitalized using powerful Health Information Systems (HIS) in the form of Electronic Health Records (EHR), Personal Health Records (PHR), and Electronic Medical Records (EMR). The Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) has launched various initiatives to digi-talize the public health sector and trailed Hospital Health Management Information Systems (HHMIS). However, it is noted that the acceptance of HIS is low among healthcare stakeholders. The empirical findings suggest the main reasons for low acceptance could be issues relating to usability. Therefore, this study is focused on identifying the factors impacting the acceptance of HIS by doctors and nurses in the public health sector.

ASSESSMENT METHOD FOR INTRA-JOINT DISORDERS IN PATIENTS WITH ARTICULATION-OCCLUSIVE DISORDERS AND TMJ DYSFUNCTION BASED ON CONE-BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY DATA
Authors: Proschenko A.M.
Published: October 2024

This article presents a comparison of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) results and joint space measurements in patients with and without occlusal-articulation disorders and TMJ dysfunction. Additionally, it describes the development of a calculator based on these data for determining the direction and degree of mandibular displacement and for assessing interalveolar height.
Мaterials and methods. The study involved individuals with functional disorders of the masticatory apparatus and occlusal disorders (experimental group n=150) and practically healthy individuals (control group, n=30). Measurements of joint spaces in the TMJ were evaluated in sagittal and coronal projections, and their ratio was calculated. The t-test of unequal variances, the Welch test, was used for statistical data processing.
The results. When assessing the displacement of the mandible in the patients of the test group, bilateral distal displacement of the heads of the lower jaw (LM) was found in 103 (68.67%) indiciduals, unilateral distal displacement of the heads of the mandible was detected in 32 (21.33%), the presence of a significant displacement was found in 72 (48.00%); reduction of the interalveolar height in at least one TMJ was found in 130 (86.67%) patients, bilateral reduction of the interalveolar height was found in 82 (54.67%) patients, among them 51 (62.20%) had bilateral distal displacement HL, a unilateral decrease in the interalveolar height was found in 48 (32.00%) patients, while among these patients, 27 (56.25%) had a more pronounced distal shift of the HL on the side of the decrease in the interalveolar height; in 44 (29.33%) patients, the body displacement of the LV to the right, of them in 39 (88 64%) slight bilateral distal displacement of the LV, with a higher ratio in the right TMJ. Analysis of the obtained data using Welch's test revealed a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.000) in comparison to the control group, based on the average values of the observed displacements.
Conclusions. The assessment of joint space parameters during cone-beam CT of the TMJ in patients with functional TMJ disorders and occlusal-articulation issues, compared to a control group, allows for the identification of mandibular displacement, including its direction and degree. Additionally, it facilitates the evaluation of interalveolar height deficit. A calculator based on these data was developed, incorporating statistical tests at p < 0.05 and using 95% confidence intervals.

The article presents data from a survey of applicants for education and describes the variability of the use of gadgets in the educational process at different stages of learning. The material of the article is based on information received from students, personal teaching experience and the opinion of colleagues. The purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate the role of modern technical devices and the use of information and computer technologies in practical classes.
Studying in higher education is now almost impossible without gadgets. The role and place of the latest technologies, mobile communications, and the Internet makes it possible to use laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other gadgets in pedagogy as efficiently as possible due to their informative and interactive nature and ease of use.
A survey was conducted among 115 students of the 4th-5th year of the dental faculty to determine their attitude to the use of gadgets in education. The questionnaire consisted of questions about students' personal attitudes toward the use of gadgets and their role in the educational process. It was found that absolutely all students (100% of respondents) use gadgets and the Internet. Among the sources used to master the discipline, only 4.54% of respondents use paper textbooks, and most students (85.21%) use electronic media (e-textbooks, presentations, manuals, and other files on the subject being studied).
The use of ICT in the classroom significantly increases their effectiveness, speeds up the training process, allows the teacher to fully express their creativity, provides visualization, and involves a large amount of didactic material.
Stabilization of Nonlinear Continuous–Discrete Dynamic Systems with a Constant Sampling Step
Authors:   Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University, Magnitogorsk, Russia, Akmanova S. V.
Published: October 2024

This paper considers nonlinear continuous–discrete (hybrid) systems containing two subsystems of differential and difference equations, respectively, and one-dimensional (scalar) or multidimensional (vector) control. The transition from a nonlinear hybrid system with a constant sampling step h > 0 to an equivalent, in a natural sense, nonlinear discrete dynamic system is presented. Sufficient conditions are established, first, for reducing the first approximation systems of nonlinear discrete systems to the Brunovsk´y canonical form and, second, for stabilizing such systems and nonlinear hybrid systems with control of different dimensions. Algorithms for constructing stabilizing control laws for nonlinear hybrid systems are developed. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of this approach to stabilizing nonlinear hybrid dynamic systems.
THE PROBLEM OF A LINER TAPE FAILING ONTO AN INCLINED SUPPORT
Authors: Galanin M. P. , Rodin A. S.
Published: October 2024

The problem of numerical simulation of the contact interaction of a metal tape moving at a speed of about 0.5 km/s with a fixed inclined support for a time of about 100 𝜇s is considered. A two-dimensional approximation was used; an elastoplastic body model for large deformations was used to describe the tape and support. To take into account the boundary conditions on contacting surfaces, an iterative algorithm related to Neumann–Dirichlet type methods was used in the calculations. The finite element method is used for spatial discretization. The calculation results are presented. A number of model one-dimensional problems are considered, which make it possible to qualitatively evaluate the results obtained in the two-dimensional case.
DIFFERENCE SCHEME WITH WELL CONTROLLED DISSIPATION FOR SOLUTION OF KAPILA MODEL
Authors: Polekhina R. R. , Savenkov E. B.
Published: October 2024

The work is devoted to the derivation and numerical studies of a difference scheme with well-controlled dissipation for solution of equations of the Kapila model. Kapila model is widely used for analysis of two-phase compressible flows. It has a form of first order non-conservative hyperbolic system. As any other 1st order non-conservative hyperbolic system it requires definition of the regularizing dissipative operator to define discontinuous solutions and Rankin–Hugoniot conditions. The choice of dissipative operator influence wave structure observed in the solutions. Schemes with well-controlled are constructed in such a way that the dissipative operator which is determined by the form of their equivalent equation coincides with the one used to define correct setting of the original problem to be solved. As a result, it is expected that numerical solution converges to the solution of the system under consideration. Numerical experiments presented in the work demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. As exact solutions numerical solutions of the traveling wave type obtained by other methods were used.

Authors: Khapaev M. M. , Kupriyanov M. Yu.
Published: October 2024

In the paper we consider a nonlinear one-dimensional problem for equations of superconductivity theory. The peculiarity of the problem is a nonstandard Roben type junction condition on the inner boundary and a discontinuous solution. An optimal homogeneous monotone difference scheme including the condition at the interface is constructed for the problem. By means of solving a series of elliptic problems and Newton’s method, we solve the complete system of the Uzadel equations, which is the basic mathematical model at the microlevel for describing the currents and fields in superconductors with Josephson junctions. The results of calculations for the problem of a pellet with an Apricot vortex are presented.

E-LEARNING RESOURCES IMPLEMENTATION IN TEACHING BUSINESS ENGLISH AND TESTING ENGLISH SPEAKING SKILLS AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL
Authors: Spišiaková Mária , Shumeiko Natalia
Published: October 2024

The article is dedicated to teaching Business English using e-learning
resources at the tertiary level. Slovakia's experience of providing training for
groups of students during the 2022/2023 academic year by applying a blended
learning approach is considered in the study. Initially, the research was focused
on the benefits and weaknesses of using e-learning resources in education.
Further, the study was devoted to the analysis of the attitude of university
students toward incorporating e-learning resources in teaching and learning
Business English in a blended format. Applying the quantitative method made it
possible to perform data analysis of the questioning of students. Using the
qualitative research method allowed the authors to analyze the opinions of
scholars on the studied problem and students' attitudes toward e-learning. The
questionnaire was conducted in Slovakia in 2022 from July to November. The
participants (n=102) involved students from higher education institutions (HEIs).
The questionnaire results help sort through the participant's previous experience
of learning Business English with the use of digital learning management
systems (DLMSs), MOOCs, language learning videos (LLVs), and
communication tools (CTs), considering the applicability of CTs for testing
spoken English language skills. The questionnaire also included a question about
independent activities on the Internet, as today, the Internet offers resources for
self-education that promote the improvement of the students' English, deepen
knowledge, and develop speaking skills. As the online realm, the Internet is the
embodiment of space and time flexibility that allows the use of e-learning
resources anywhere and anytime. The accessibility of educational materials for
distance and blended learning contributes to effectively organizing students'
training. Within the study, the questionnaire results indicate that most
participants believe that the use of the Microsoft Teams platform (under blended
learning conditions = 87.3%; during the pandemic = 89.2%; for testing spoken
English language skills = 91.2%) in teaching and learning process is the best
option to use at universities. In addition, the findings confirm that online video
content (watching movies = 49%; videos for independent work = 69.6%) gets
and holds students' attention. The study's results support integrating e-learning resources into teaching Business English at non-language universities,
emphasizing the feasibility of using video content as a valuable resource to
prepare English classes.
DNEVNICI VIRDŽINIJE VULF
Authors: Kršenković-Brković Dragana
Published: October 2024

Ovaj tekst1
razmatra dug proces transformacije autobiografske proze
koju su stvarale žene (dnevnici, memoari, pisma, autobiografije, časopisi), s
posebnim naglaskom na dnevnike Virdžinije Vulf (Virginia Woolf, 1882-1941).
U tekstu se ukazuje na istraživački rad brojnih feminističkih autorki u tumačenju
i redefinisanju ove književne vrste. Analizirajući promene u autobiografskom
pisanju žena od osamnaestog do dvadesetog veka, ove autorke su skrenule
pažnju na mehanizam koji je korišćen u patrijarhalnom društvu u određenju
identiteta žene i njenog sopstva; utvrdile su da postoji čvrsta veza između
patrijarhalnih kulturnih predrasuda i marginalizovanja kulture žena; predočile su
na blisku vezu između dnevničkog beleženja i potrage žena za
samodefinisanjem; primetile su da su – samim procesom pisanja dnevnika,
memoara i autobiografija – žene stvorile zajednički prostor; otkrile su osobene
karakteristike dnevničke proze, kao što su: opozicija subjektivnost –
objektivnost, opozicija između javnog i privatnog glasa ili opozicija između
'onog što je dominatno' i 'onog što je prećutkivano', itd.
Takođe, ovaj tekst ukazuje na uticaj Vulf na promenu tradicionalnog
književnog kanona i kanona tradicionalnih autobiografskih tekstova. U njemu se
istražuje na koji način se pisanje dnevnika reflektovalo na autorkino pisanje;
osvetljavaju se izvori u kojima je autorka pronalazila književne teme; pokazuje
se da su prizori iz svakodnevnog života, knjige koje je čitala ili društveni
događaji poslužili autorki kao sirov materijal za uobličavanje njenog književnog
postupka. U tekstu se afirmiše i veza između, s jedne strane, književne scene
dvadesetog veka i, s druge, svih promena unutrašnjeg života autorke i njenih
pogleda na književnost, umetnost i svet.
CORECORE: HYPER-ROMANTICISM AND THE POSTPANDEMIC INTERNET AESTHETIC
Authors: Vujošević Vladimir
Published: October 2024

It seems that the internet aesthetic has undergone a peculiar change
since the outbreak of the 2020 pandemic. This transformation has been driven
by the growing popularity of social media platforms that rely almost exclusively
on video content. After the long-awaited "death of postmodernism," there is now
a noticeable inclination to excessively reuse certain cultural forms whose origin
can be traced back to the Romantic era. This essay explores how Romantic
aesthetic practices have unexpectedly reemerged in new digital media, especially
in the last three years.
Societal Conditions of the Policy of Nonalignment
Authors: Mates Leo
Published: October 2024

The policy of non-alignment arose in the period after the Second World War as a response to the beginning process of the formation of two antagonistic blocs. The very designation given to it by its protagonists defines it negatively, i.e. as a policy of non-participation in groupings, military pacts or political blocs. And if we use the term of any language, it seems to contain the negation or non-participation in these creations of the Cold War.
This has led many analysts and politicians to assume non-engagementfor a kind of peaceful neutrality, for a policy of tactics between the centers of individual blocs or for efforts to maintain the same distance between individual blocs. This opinion on the policy of non-alignment did not, understandably, originate from a misunderstanding or superficiality, but often from a deliberate underestimation of this policy or an effort to discredit it.
This fact should be particularly emphasized, because it is one of the main methods the struggle against the policy of non-alignment during the Cold War was an attempt to obscure the goals and content of this policy with Russian obscurity or to distort them. In this regard, bloc-oriented propaganda has been making efforts for many years and has also achieved positive results in certain directions. One of them was the effort alone bearer of the policy of non-engagement to consider this policy as new, original and comprehensive world view. It was, in a certain sense, a reaction to contempt and criticism from the bloc

On the Issues of the Development of the Soviet Foreign Policy Conception
Authors: Kotyk Václav
Published: October 2024

It is no coincidence that, from the thesis of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on the 50th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, I pay considerable attention to the development of and around Soviet foreign policy. It is a reflection of the role played by Soviet foreign policy in the process of creating favorable external conditions for socialist and communist construction, in the efforts of the Soviet Union to ensure peace between nations. I understandably pay a great deal of attention to the current circles of the foreign policy of the Soviet Union, which they perceive as part of the foreign policy of the socialist system. Understanding the current state of Soviet foreign policy, however, does not only presuppose knowledge of all the contexts that create and influence this policy today, but also presupposes knowledge of its development to date, at least in its basic features, knowledge of the tendencies on which Soviet foreign policy programmatically follows. This state is an attempt at reflection of this kind without being understood as an attempt at exhaustive reflection.
Strategy for Peace
Authors: Soják Vladimír
Published: October 2024

The combination of these two terms certainly does not seem particularly logical at first glance. After all, the word strategy has always been associated primarily with war, which is the opposite of peace. And this was already a matter of strategy as a long-term plan of one's own military actions for the time and in time of war, or a political and diplomatic strategy as preparation for war. This certainly also included the so-called Cold War, which at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s was understood primarily as a preparation for an actual war. From that time on, the terms "camp of war" and "camp of peace" also remained in the white dictionary, all of them following the idea of ​​two enemy military camps before the battle, as we know it from numerous historical photos and images. This idea does not completely correspond to the military conditions of our time, but the fact remains that war and peace continue to be the basic aspects of international relations, that in the world they must be in the most different forms.At the same time - as already determined by the essence of the strategy and the conditions of today's world - it is a long-term problem, a lasting peace, peace on a sacred scale, even if, of course, problems limited in time and space cannot be separated from it. However, for peace - just as for war, which forms a dialectical unity with it - it is true that it is a phenomenon of great complexity, historically conditioned, closely connected with overall social development and its progressive and reactionary forces.
The scope of this article cannot, of course, be to show the entire issue of the peace strategy, but above all the main approaches that appear here and which, in my opinion, result from the overall sacred opinion and social setting - that means in today's era of imperialism and socialism (with the specifics of developing countries ). As soon as we try to concretize these approaches, the problem starts to become more complex - within them, other differences and connections emerge - especially the question of status quo and revolution. I project myself further, the issue of the attitude of developing countries, the peace movement, but also the research of peace.

Published: October 2024

Taking into account the nature of the work on the so-called Great Society of L. B. Johnson, given a certain publishing purpose and, last but not least, advice on material possibilities, it was not possible to notice in more detail some stimulating and interesting points of view and opinion contained in the literature used. These points of view and opinions are usually characterized by their fragmentary nature. There are no works in which American or other Western authors would deal thoroughly and comprehensively with the concept of the "Great Society". This fact, together with the lack of some documents, limited research aspirations.

Cookies are a type of biscuit made from soft dough, high in fat content, relatively crispy when broken, and have a dense cross-sectional texture. The significantly increasing data on wheat flour consumption indicates a very high level of dependence on wheat flour. This is due to the high number of processed food products using wheat flour, necessitating the utilization of flour from local raw materials to explore local potential, one of which is by partially replacing wheat flour with purple sweet potato flour. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of adding purple sweet potato flour on the physical, chemical, and sensory properties of cookies. An experimental method was used with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 replications. The formulations used in making cookies with substitution of purple sweet potato flour and wheat flour were (100:0, 90:10, 80:20). Parameters measured included moisture content, protein content, texture, color, and sensory acceptance. The results of data analysis and sensory analysis using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that the ratio of purple sweet potato flour to wheat flour significantly affected the protein content, color, and texture of cookies. However, it did not significantly affect the moisture content and sensory properties of cookies. The most preferred sample was the 90:10 treatment. Nutritional content: 2.12% moisture content, and 28.10% protein content.

Mitigating Bias in AI-Driven Recruitment : The Role of Explainable Machine Learning (XAI)
Authors: Ravi Kiran Magham
Published: October 2024

This article explores the critical role of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in mitigating bias within AI-driven recruitment processes. As AI becomes increasingly prevalent in hiring practices, concerns about algorithmic bias and fairness have emerged. The article discusses how XAI techniques, such as SHAP and LIME, can be used to detect and interpret potential biases in recruitment algorithms. It examines the implementation of XAI for feature importance analysis, algorithmic bias detection, and disparate impact analysis across different demographic groups. The article addresses the challenges of balancing model complexity with explainability and the limitations of XAI in identifying systemic biases. By implementing XAI strategies, organizations can enhance the fairness and transparency of their hiring practices, ultimately fostering more diverse and equitable workplaces.

Mushrooms are one of the most loved foods not only for its exotic taste but also for the benefits with which it comes. They are low in salt and sugar and are a rich natural source of Vitamin D. They contain 25-50% proteins on dry weight basis. The percentage of proteins in mushrooms is much higher than in cereals, pulses, fruits or vegetables. The proteins of mushrooms contain all essential amino acids and their quantity is higher than in the egg. Pleurotus florida (Oyster Mushrooms) are saprophytic fungi that are macro edible mushroom. It may be cultivated on a variety of substrates with acceptable food quality and quantity. The present study was carried out using the different agricultural substrate (Wheat straw, Bajra, Soyabean, Pigeon pea, Chickpea, Sugarcane Maize and Moong) to evaluate the effect of different agriculture substrate on growth of Mycelium, Yield and Biological Efficiency of Pleurotus florida (Oyster mushroom). The yield and Biological Efficiency for Pleurotus florida (Oyster mushroom) on different agriculture substrates was compared. Soyabean substrate was found to be a potential substrate for cultivation of Pleurotus florida (Oyster mushroom). Biological Efficiency on Soyabean 50% while Chickpea- 45%, Pigeon pea- 36%, Moong- 35%, Bajra- 30% Wheat Straw- 25%, Maize- 17% and Sugarcane- 15%. Pleurotus florida (Oyster mushroom) yielded better on substrate Soyabean – 500g. Hence it was concluded that Soyabean gives higher yield as compared to Chickpea, Pigeon pea, Moong, Bajra, Wheat Straw, Maize and Sugarcane substrate.
