ВНЕСОК ДЕРЖАВНИХ СЛУЖБОВЦІВ У РОЗВИТОК ДИСТАНЦІЙНОГО НАВЧАННЯ В УМОВАХ ВІЙСЬКОВИХ ДІЙ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Кузьменко Г. О. , Телендій А. А.
Published: December 2024

У представленій статті розглядається внесок державних службовців у забезпечення безперервності та якості дистанційного навчання в умовах військових дій в Україні, які розпочалися в лютому 2022 року. Автори детально аналізують, як війна докорінно змінила всі аспекти життя українців, особливо вплинувши на освітню систему, яка зіткнулася з безпрецедентними викликами. У статті розкривається, як державні службовці, забезпечили технічну підтримку та організували дистанційне навчання для учнів, навіть у найскладніших умовах. Автором зазначено, що ключовою проблемою було забезпечення рівного доступу до освіти для всіх учнів, особливо тих, хто перебував у регіонах, постраждалих від бойових дій. Для вирішення цього завдання державні органи створили центри підтримки дистанційного навчання, розгорнули мобільні навчальні платформи та точки доступу до інтернету, які забезпечили навчання навіть у віддалених та важкодоступних районах. Крім того, було організовано розробку та поширення електронних підручників і інтерактивних модулів, що підвищили якість навчального процесу. Автор підкреслює, що підготовка вчителів до використання нових технологій і методів дистанційного навчання стала важливою частиною процесу. Державні службовці організували численні тренінги та семінари, які допомагали педагогам освоїти сучасні інструменти і підходи до інтерактивного навчання. У статті також розглядаються заходи, спрямовані на підтримку психологічного здоров'я учасників навчального процесу. Психологічний стрес, викликаний постійною небезпекою та нестабільністю, став серйозною перешкодою для ефективного навчання. Державні органи впровадили програми психологічної підтримки, включаючи індивідуальні та групові консультації, що допомагають учням і вчителям краще адаптуватися до нових умов і зберігати мотивацію до навчання.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ ІНТЕРНЕТ-МАГАЗИНІВ ПРОДОВОЛЬЧИХ КООПЕРАТИВІВ
Authors: Пантелеймоненко А. О. , Гончаренко В. В.
Published: December 2024

В статті відображено особливості функціонування інтернет-магазинів, організованих продовольчими кооперативами (англ. Food Cooperatives). Зокрема, встановлено малодослідженість цієї теми як в українській, так і в зарубіжній економічній науці. Проведено аналіз та узагальнено основну інформацію щодо діяльності продовольчих кооперативів США та Канади (на прикладі Oklahoma Food Cooperative, Iowa Valley Food Cooperative та Ottawa Valley Food Cooperative). З’ясовано переваги таких кооперативів для виробників і споживачів (членів цих кооперативів), а також вказано на їх головну відмінність від традиційних магазинів, організованих підприємцями. Відображено основні функції продовольчих кооперативів, серед яких: надання послуг за ціною собівартості (без включення «посередницького» прибутку), збереження справедливого цінового балансу між інтересами членів із числа виробників та споживачів, забезпечення виробників послугами (передусім збут продукції) за максимально вигідною ціною, а споживачів товарами за максимально низькою ціною. Подано загальну характеристику двох існуючих груп продовольчих кооперативів щодо використання ними інтернет-магазинів. Акцентовано на тому, що одні з них створюють інтернет-магазини як основний інструмент для здійснення статутної діяльності, а інші – для розширення своїх можливостей (основну роль у діяльності такого кооперативу відіграє офлайн-магазин). Розкрито специфіку програмного забезпечення, яким користуються продовольчі кооперативи. Вказано на цілу низку переваг, які отримує продовольчий кооператив, використовуючи сучасні технології інтернет-магазину. Також акцентовано на тому, що функціонування «кооперативного» інтернет-магазину має значний соціально-економічний ефект не тільки в контексті значної економії, а й зміцнює довіру між представниками місцевого бізнесу (членами-виробниками) та населенням (членами-споживачами), сприяє консолідації місцевих громад. Разом з тим, вказано на існування проблеми відсутності єдиної правової бази для кооперативів США, яку визнано на державному рівні. Також акцентовано на необхідності формування єдиного законодавства для всієї країни щодо реєстрації кооперативів, а також спеціального закону про кооперативи. Зроблено висновок про те, що узагальнений досвід може бути творчо використаний українським суспільством, зокрема, трудовими колективами, релігійними громадами, іншими спільнотами громадян та місцевими фермерами.
Scooting around the Margins: Testing Scooter Parking Design Pilots
Authors: Brown Anne , Thigpen Calvin , Klein Nicholas J
Published: December 2024

Cities designate space for shared bikes and e-scooters using dedicated parking corrals. Yet best practices for corral design remain unclear, particularly if corral design can influence parking compliance or tidiness. We experimented with parking design pilots in three US cities, finding that vertical signage did not lead to statistically significant increases in the share of scooters and bikes parked within corrals; striped parking stalls demonstrate encouraging, if marginal, effects on tidy parking. The results suggest that minor corral wayfinding elements are unlikely to have much effect on micromobility parking, especially when compared to more forceful interventions like mandatory parking locations.

Sin embargo, es necesario esperar a la graduación de la primera generación para evaluar el éxito profesional de este enfoque.
“Keep out/Keep out/Your snooting snout…”: The Irresistible Journals of Elizabeth Smart
Authors: Podnieks Elizabeth
Published: December 2024

[para. 1]: "Bill said write all the time keep a diary-so here it is" (5). So here it is that on March 6, 1933, the twenty year old Elizabeth Smart introduced her diary to an as yet unidentified audience. Years later, on March 1, 1940, she revealed just what this diary had come to represent: "But this my book I carry everywhere, and its blank unwritten pages and shabby cover-its menial use for dancing notes, addresses, and accounts deglamourize it. I must not forget IT is my heavenly key-my work my purpose" (239-40). Elizabeth Smart's "purpose"-her diary was one that sustained her throughout her adult life. In fact, it was so clearly her "work" that towards the end of her life she set about having these extensive volumes published. In 1982, Smart was working as writer-in-residence at the University of Alberta. Smart's colleague, Alice Van Wart, explains: "While visiting her in her office one day, I noticed on her desk formidable piles of paper, which she informed me were the transcripts of her journals" (Necessary intro.). After Van Wart expressed an interest in these papers, Smart phoned her a few months later and asked her to edit them. She accepted the proposal, and in 1986 Necessary Secrets: The Journals of Elizabeth Smart appeared. Though, unfortunately, Smart died while the work was in production, Rosemary Sullivan confirms in her biography, By Heart, that Smart had "proofread the manuscript" and "was pleased with it" (378)."
Mediating Moms: Mothers in Popular Culture
Authors: Podnieks Elizabeth
Published: December 2024

In recent decades, popular culture - from television and film to newspapers, magazines, and best-selling fiction - has focused an enormous amount of attention on mothers.

Through feminist, psychoanalytic, sociological, literary, and cultural studies perspectives, the twenty chapters in this book examine an array of current and relevant contemporary topics related to maternal identities such as working, stay-at-home, ambivalent, absent, good, bad, single, teen, elder, celebrity, and lesbian mothers; and issues such as the mommy wars, self-care, pregnancy, abortion, contraception, infanticide, adoption, sex and sexuality, breastfeeding, post-partum depression, fertility, genetics, and reproductive technologies. Contributors from Canada, the United States, Britain, and Australia engage critically and theoretically with stereotypes perpetuated by popular culture media, and chart some of the provocative and liberating ways that we can use and interpret this media to encourage and promote alternative and transformative maternal readings, identities, and practices.

Mediating Moms looks at mothers as imaged by and in the media; how mothers mediate or negotiate these images according to their historical, corporeal, and lived personhoods; and how scholars mediate the popular and academic discourses of motherhood as a way of registering, strengthening, and alleviating the tensions between representation and reality.

Mediating Moms engages critically with stereotypes perpetuated by popular culture, while mapping some of the provocative and liberating ways that mothers can use the media to transform and reaffirm their identities.

Peace and child health in Sub-Saharan Africa: The demographic cost paid by young children during and after civil wars
Authors: Garenne Michel
Published: December 2024

The study describes changing trends in child mortality in selected African countries that suffered civil wars. After an overview of political developments following independence, the study draws a contrast between countries who suffered a civil war and others having remained in peace during the same period. The war case-studies were the following: Angola 1975-2002; Mozambique 1977-1992, Rwanda 1990-1999, Burundi 1988-2005; Uganda 1971-1986; Congo-Brazza 1993-2002; Liberia 1989-2003; Sierra-Leone 1991-2002. The study focuses on the impact of destructions and dysfunctions in health systems on child survival during and after the war period since it takes several years after a conflict for full recovery of the health system. The study discusses the frailty of newly independent states, economic downturns and mismanagement, the difficulties of decolonization, the role of the great powers and competing ideologies during the Cold War period, and the divisions resulting from ethnic rivalries to conquer political power. Overall, the study found an indirect impact (~4.9 million deaths) as high as the estimated direct impact of civil wars.

“Regard” at the lilies of the fields: The relational dimension of care and the migrant detention camp
Authors: Rodrigues da Cruz Maria Lucia , Custódio Kachenski Iverson
Published: December 2024

The present article aims to analyze the political dimension of the context of care and protection of precarious migrants. In this sense, we will first turn to the works of Judith Butler e Giorgio Agamben to understand how care is positioned as a political process of managing and preserving the lives of vulnerable groups. Later, we will address the relational dimension of care, conceived in a political framework of recognizing the lives of migrants in the sphere of social justice. With this, we will critically examine the biopolitics of migrant detention camps considering the contributions of Giorgio Agamben, considering how care can be practiced in this context. To elucidate Agamben's thesis on the camp beyond Judith Butler's reflections on care, we examine Kakuma's camp not to expose demographic data, but primarily to analyze the political undertaking that places numerous migrants and refugees in an inhuman condition.

The missing heritability problem, defined as the failure of genetic variants to explain variance in phenotypes, has been an unsolved issue in genetics for the past two decades. A potential solution to this problem stems from the idea that single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy-number variants, the most commonly studied forms of genomic diversity, do not represent the totality of the information that is transferred from one generation to the next. In this perspective, we offer a glimpse into hidden dimensions of genomic diversity: frequently neglected as sources of variation, and only recently starting to be perceived as targets for natural selection. We begin by acknowledging the existence of disregarded genomic matter and sequence composition affecting the mutational process. We explore how selection can act on gene expression variability and offer insight into the mechanisms behind transcriptional regulation. Finally, we recognize the importance of modifications in the 3D genome architecture and other large-scale genomic changes in generating phenotypic diversity. Zooming out through these dimensions of the genome, we discuss recent findings and future avenues of research within each one of them. Judging by the pervasiveness and diverse nature of sources of genomic diversity, we foresee that the study of genomic variation within species is yet to see another burst. Showcasing these hidden dimensions, we offer a broad perspective on the complexity behind the genotype-to-phenotype map, which is crucial for understanding the action of natural selection in populations.

Creating the approximate sigmoid curves of the curves showing the real data of products sold in function of the time, it is possible to find similarities and differences of the time history of the market of mobile phones and electric cars. One of the most important decisions during this investigation is to decide, which curve describes better the product investigated: Logistic curve (Pearl-Reed curve) or Growth curve (Bertalanffy)? On the basis of many characteristics of these curves, in the second step of the study it is possible to characterise the market of the products, and the comparison can give important points of view for the understanding the present situation of the markets and to try to forecast their possible future.
A Flawed World: Disney’s Aladdin through the Lens of Orientalism
Authors: Aljahdali Banan , Lamis Hakami
Published: December 2024

One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights) is one of the most popular collections of stories published in the early eighteenth century. The story of “Aladdin and The Wonderful Lamp” became especially popular following the French Orientalist Antoine Gallard’s translation. The story has been adapted many times throughout the years, and the most famous of these adaptations is Disney’s Aladdin (1992). However, despite its success and popularity, the film has received harsh criticism for its portrayal of Middle Eastern people, which has inspired several studies of its use of Orientalism. Following the theoretical approach of Edward Said’s Orientalism, this article discusses how Middle Eastern people are represented in Aladdin and explores some of the Orientalist stereotypes that are present in the film. This study uses two methods: first, a semiotic analysis of Orientalist signs in the movie; and second, a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of the narration and dialogue. This study shows how Aladdin uses Orientalist narratives that depict Middle Eastern people as violent, greedy, or barbaric, and presents the Middle East as an exotic place.
Polymer-based Bipolar Plates for Fuel Cells
Authors: Hajagos Szabolcs , Kovács József Gábor
Published: December 2024

This paper presents the optimization of bipolar plates for polymer-based fuel cells designed for small-scale applications like drones and portable devices. The fuel cell uses an open-cathode system, where air from the environment is the oxidant, reducing weight and complexity. Three initial design concepts were created, and the counter-flow design was selected for further development due to its higher performance potential. The plate geometry was optimized with semi-circular channels on the anode side to improve hydrogen flow and U-shaped channels on the cathode side for better water removal. Flow and pressure distributions were analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Although early results showed uneven distribution, further adjustments led to a new design, which improved manufacturability and reduced deformation. After testing different gas inlet configurations, a final design was developed, showing more uniform flow and better performance for lightweight applications.

Authors: Budrytė Guoda , Sinkevičius Romualdas , Budrienė Lina
Published: December 2024

Background. Correct head position, torso endurance, stability, and balance are essential factors that ensure proper body posture and functional mobility. In the case of idiopathic scoliosis, the interaction of these factors can influence the progression of scoliosis and the effectiveness of rehabilitation.
Aim. To determine the correlations between the static endurance of trunk muscles, trunk stability, balance, and head position in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
Methods. Study participants were 22 teenagers (10–17 yrs., mean age 13.5 ± 2.09 yrs.) diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. This cross-sectional study measured subjects’ trunk muscle static endurance, head position, trunk stability, and balance.
Results. The static endurance of the abdominal muscles (51.6 ± 27.43 s) was significantly worse than the static endurance of the back muscles (93.0 ± 46.05 s). A total of 95.5 % of subjects failed the functional torso stability test. Additionally, 86.36 % of the subjects exhibited a forward-shifted head position with a craniovertebral angle equal to 42.93 ± 5.15°. Moderately strong indirect significant correlations were found between the size of the craniovertebral angle and balance (r = -0.675, p = 0.001), and strong direct relationships between trunk stability and balance (r = 0.803; p = 0.001), dynamic stability and balance (r = 0.824; p = 0.001), static stability and balance (r = 0.778; p = 0.001).
Conclusions. Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis are characterized by a forward head position. Moderate and strong relationships between balance, head position, functional torso stability, and postural stability were determined. No significant correlations were found between trunk muscle static endurance ratios and balance.
Keywords: adolescents, idiopathic scoliosis, head position, stability, balance.
Comparative assessment of groundwater quality in Kokrajhar, India
Authors: Omo Yachang , Brahma Swdwmsri , Paul Avijit
Published: December 2024

A study was carried out to analyse and compare the quality of groundwater in Kokrajhar during the pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Kokrajhar is experiencing a significant population growth and urbanisation. Groundwater is vital for the daily activities and consumption of the local population. In order to meet the needs of the local population, it is crucial to evaluate the quality of groundwater. The study involved the collection of groundwater samples from 20 different locations during the pre- and post-monsoon periods. Tests were conducted on groundwater samples to analyse 10 different test parameters. Sample points were located using geographical information system (GIS) and contour maps were generated to represent different test parameters. The assessment of groundwater quality was determined using two different methodologies: the Weighted Arithmetic Index (WAI) method and the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCME WQI) method. The results obtained by both methods were compared. Minor to significant variations in various test parameters were observed during analysis of pre- and post-monsoon groundwater samples.
Co-occurrence of arsenic and fluoride in groundwater in Chandrapur district, central India
Authors: Krishna Kamble Rahul
Published: December 2024

The study was carried out to assess the co-occurrence of arsenic and fluoride in groundwater in Chandrapur district, Central India, and their possible future health risk to men, women, and children. A total of 36 groundwater sampling locations (n = 34 from hand pump and n = 2 from dug well) were identified using a systematic random sampling method. The sampling was carried out using the grab sampling method in the post-monsoon season. Various physicochemical parameters were analysed as described in APHA. The results showed that the average concentration of arsenic in the groundwater was 0.0316 mg/L (0.0158 - 0.0414 mg/L), while the average concentration of fluoride was 1.18 mg/L (0.5 - 2.32 mg/L). All groundwater samples had arsenic concentrations above the limit permissible by the Indian standard (0.01 mg/L), while they were within the desirable limit (0.05 mg/L). As for the fluoride in groundwater, 12 samples (33.33 %) were below the desirable limit by the Indian standard (< 1.0 mg/L) and five (13.88 %) were above the desirable limit (> 1.5 mg/L). The co-occurrence of arsenic and fluoride in groundwater from the study area was recorded at 47.22 % (n = 17) of the sampling locations. At 14 sampling locations (38.88 %), the concentrations of both arsenic and fluoride in groundwater were higher, while at 35 sampling locations (97.22 %) there was an elevated concentration of either arsenic or fluoride or both of these contaminants. The plausible reason for the presence of arsenic and fluoride in groundwater can be attributed to geogenic origin. The prolonged ingestion of the groundwater from the study area may pose a threat to the health of the inhabitants. The inhabitants should be aware of these contaminants, and local authorities should use these findings to identify hotspots where these contaminants have occurred. It is necessary to develop and apply low-cost, environment-friendly, and easy-to-adopt methods for the removal of arsenic in combination with fluoride.
Yield of awnless brome grass of the 'Udalets' variety and elements of its structure at different sowing dates
Authors: Timoshkin Oleg , Timoshkina Ol'ga , TRIShINA Varvara
Published: December 2024

The article presents the results of three-year studies on the sowing dates of the new 'Udalets' variety of awnless brome when cultivating for seed purposes. In the forest-steppe conditions of the Middle Volga region, spring (3 dates), summer (3 dates), and autumn dates were considered. The studies established the advantage of spring sowing dates in terms of plant density, including productive stems, plant height, in-florescence length, and, ultimately, seed yield over two years of use. The greatest number of productive stems in the first year of use — 214–242 pcs/m2 with a plant height of 127–128 cm was obtained with early spring sowing dates. In the second year of use, with the same sowing dates, the greatest number of generative shoots was also formed — 192–221 pcs/m2. The highest seed yield was obtained with spring sowing dates — 665–950 kg/ha (in the first year of use), 510–550 kg/ha (in the second year). With late June, August and September sowing dates, the yield was only 35–39 kg/ha or 95.5–96.0% lower than with early spring sowing. Low seed yield with these sowing dates is explained by dry conditions in the year of sowing, as a result of which the seeds did not germinate for a long time, did not have time to ver-nalize and form generative shoots.
Celebrating the French Republic in the Courier de l'Egypte
Authors: Karaagaclioglu Fezanur
Published: December 2024

In this article, I examine how French revolutionary ideas and ideals were performed in occupied Egypt. At the level of display, the ancient sites were very visibly united under the French tricolor flag, which was a highly symbolic, essentially ritualistic act. They occupied a significant place during celebrations of the foundation of the republic. It was Napoléon's wish that the “époque mémorable” that established the republic would be celebrated in Egypt with great pomp. These celebrations each year occurred in a “time out of time” both for the French and the Egyptians: they had a claim to demonstrate how history was “correctly,” that is, rationally, to be perceived and understood, and how the future was to be progressively and politically imagined. The accounts of the festivals speak to an exceptional interaction and exchange that transformed time, space, and the historical narrative in Egypt and assigned roles to the French and the Egyptians, hence enhancing the performative aspect of the expedition. I draw on the terminology and theoretical frameworks offered by scholars of performance such as Alessandro Falassi, Richard Schechner, and Richard Bauman. I understand the French Revolution in the larger chronological and spatial context as a narrative event, and accounts of the celebrations as narrated events. The French ultimately aimed at influencing the way the Egyptians would give meaning to what was happening; at fixing the meaning of the French presence in Egypt; and at rearranging the structure of social, cultural, and political relations and perceptions.

Public financial case involving manipulation of financial reports by PT. Lippo proves that the practice of manipulation has not resolved the problems experienced, due to a lack of supervision from the commissioner, so that the government in Indonesia has made a bailout. This financial manipulation occurs due to weak implementation of corporate governance. The main characteristic of such activities is the lack of self-interested actions on the part of company managers. Small companies carry out more earnings management practices than large companies. This is because small companies tend to want to show the condition of a company that is performing well so that investors invest their capital in the company. Large companies can manage risks related to politics, so large companies tend to increase fiscal profits to increase external funds. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of company size on earnings management, to analyze the influence of Good Corporate Governance on earnings management, to analyze the influence of company size and Good Corporate Governance on earnings management. The total registered population is 48 mining companies. The results of data processing show that company size and Good Corporate Governance influence earnings management both partially and simultaneously.

Tomato is an important food crop in the world, including Indonesia, which often faces leaf diseases such as mosaic virus, target spot, bacterial spot, yellow leaf curl virus, late blight, leaf mold, early blight, spider mites, and septoria leaf spot. These diseases are difficult to recognize manually, so Deep Learning technology, especially Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), is used for the classification process. This research uses Inception V3 transfer learning model and image preprocessing and data augmentation. Testing is done with various optimizers (Adam, SGD, RMS Prop) to find the best model. Tests were conducted using confusion matrix to determine the level of accuracy produced by the CNN model. The results show an accuracy of 93.8% with the optimal model using Optimizer Adam.
