Authors: Aisa Muhamad , Kiyingi Frank-Pio , Namugumya Esther
Published: August 2024

This study examined the influence of monetary rewards on the performance of teachers in selected secondary schools within Uganda’s central region. The study was based on Herzberg two Factor theory and Adam Stacey Equity theory. Using a deductive research approach, hypotheses were formulated to explore causal relationships between variables. Data collection utilized a cross-sectional correlation survey design with closed-ended questionnaires and interviews with key stakeholders, focusing on four districts within the central region. The study was guided by Herzberg Two Factor Theory and Adam Stacey’s Equity Theory. A sample size of 300 respondents, including teachers and school administrators, was obtained through proportionate sampling. A cross-sectional mixed methods design and a survey approach were used. Data validity and reliability were ensured through pre-testing, content validity index computation, and reliability assessment using the Cronbach Alpha method. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to investigate the relationship between monetary rewards and teacher performance. Findings indicated a significant positive correlation between monetary rewards and teacher performance (r=0.4193, p=0.000). Regression analysis showed that monetary rewards account for 16.5% of the variation in teacher performance. Positive correlations were also found between monetary rewards and both academic (r=0.2963, p=0.0001) and non-academic performance (r=0.3999, p=0.000). Additionally, a model was developed demonstrating the mediating effect of perceived fairness on the relationship between monetary rewards and teacher performance. Specifically, the recommendations include reviewing and improving the reward system, conducting regular performance evaluations, exploring non-monetary motivational factors, and ensuring transparency and fairness in reward distribution. Overall, this research highlights the significance of monetary rewards and equitable distribution in driving teacher performance within educational institutions.

Os profissionais têm um embaraço em reconhecer uma urgência e emergência dentro da Estratégia Saúde da Família, não percebe a ESF como um serviço possível para um atendimento de urgência, julgando que esse tipo de assistência foge do princípio que comanda a Atenção Primária à Saúde e, assim, utiliza o encaminhamento como forma de resolver essas situações que surgem no dia a dia. Este estudo buscou identificar a percepção do enfermeiro atuante na APS diante de situações de Urgência e Emergência neste nível de atenção. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, exploratória com abordagem qualitativa, que foi realizada nas Estratégias de Saúde da Família-ESFs situadas na rede urbana do município de Diamantino/MT. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas da qual renderam (3) temas: Capacitação dos enfermeiros para a assistência em casos de urgência e emergência na ESF, (2) As dificuldades encontradas por enfermeiros no atendimento de urgência e emergência na ESF, (3) A conduta dos enfermeiros frente a atendimento de casos agudos na ESF. Os Resultados apontam que os conhecimentos adquiridos na área foram apropriados por conta própria em pós-graduações, cursos ou ainda na prática cotidiana. As conclusões apontam que a capacitação profissional deverá vir acompanhada de melhorias na infraestrutura material e física para atender os casos de urgência e emergência nessas unidades.
Large deviations : Estimating the number of positive individuals in a Bernoulli sample through sample pooling
Authors: Katsekpor Thomas , Doku-Amponsah Kwabena
Published: August 2024

We define the empirical positives measure as a stochastic measure that quantifies the number of infections in a Bernoulli sample. Similarly, we define the empirical pool measure as a stochastic measure that enumerates the number of infected pool samples. A joint large deviation principle (LDP) is established for both empirical measures derived from the Bernoulli samples. Using this joint LDP, we establish a correlation between the asymptotic ratio of infected individuals to the sample size and the asymptotic ratio of infected pool samples to the total number of pool samples.

Authors: Alcantara Moura José Ediglê , Campos Kilmer Coelho , Stamm Cristiano
Published: August 2024

Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar os determinantes do padrão de modernização da pecuária nas regiões imediatas do Nordeste e do Sul do Brasil. Especificamente, propôs-se a mensuração do Índice de Modernização Pecuária (IMP) e a comparação entre as duas regiões. Para atingir esses objetivos, empregou-se a técnica multivariada de análise fatorial exploratória, decomposta em componentes principais. Os dados utilizados foram coletados a partir do Censo Agropecuário de 2017, realizado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Os resultados principais indicaram que os fatores determinantes da modernização incluem o nível tecnológico da pecuária, a sanidade animal e a capitalização. O Índice de Modernização Pecuária (IMP) revelou que 58,06% das regiões imediatas do Sul do Brasil foram classificadas com alto nível de modernização, em contraste com os 15,55% das regiões imediatas do Nordeste. No entanto, é importante destacar que, apesar de grande parte do Nordeste apresentar IMP médio e baixo, algumas regiões imediatas, como Caicó, Sumé e Catolé do Rocha, exibem um IMP superior ao observado no Sul do Brasil, destacando uma significativa disparidade intrarregional no processo de modernização da pecuária na região.

Published: August 2024

Este estudo investigou a interrupção parcial ou total do setor/atividade de fabricação de produtos de fumo, com o objetivo de quantificar a perda percentual na produção nacional em caso de uma interrupção hipotética deste setor, parte da cadeia produtiva do tabaco. Utilizando a abordagem da Matriz Insumo Produto (MIP) e o Método de Extração Hipotética (MEH), a fabricação de produtos de fumo foi artificialmente excluída, e o impacto dessa exclusão sobre o valor total da produção da economia brasileira foi avaliado. Foram utilizados os dados da Matriz de Insumo-produto Nacional de 2018, estimada pelo Núcleo de Economia Regional e Urbana (NEREUS/USP). Os resultados indicam que a eliminação hipotética da atividade de fabricação de produtos de fumo resultaria em uma contração de 0,15% do valor bruto da produção, 0,14% do valor adicionado e 0,18% no emprego no Brasil em todos os setores. Portanto, o estudo indica que a interrupção da fabricação de produtos de fumo gera perdas econômicas, afetando mais significativamente os setores de agricultura, comércio por atacado e transporte terrestre.
Abstract: This paper investigated the partial or total interruption of the tobacco product manufacturing sector/activity, with the objective of quantifying the percentage loss in national production in the event of a hypothetical interruption of this sector, part of the tobacco production chain. Using the Input  Output Matrix (IOM) approach and the Hypothetical Extraction Method (HEM), the manufacture of tobacco products was artificially excluded, and the impact of this exclusion on the total value of production in the Brazilian economy was assessed. Data from the 2018 National Input Output Matrix, estimated by the Regional and Urban Economy Center (NEREUS/USP), were used. The results indicate that the hypothetical elimination of the tobacco product manufacturing activity would result in a contraction of 0.15% in the gross value of production, 0.14% in value added and 0.18% in employment in Brazil in all sectors. Therefore, the study indicates that the interruption of the manufacture of tobacco products generates economic losses, most significantly affecting the agriculture, wholesale trade and land transport sectors.

Published: August 2024

This paper explores the benefits of cloud storage, a fundamental component of cloud computing, which provides users with nearly limitless storage capabilities. Users can substantially decrease their local storage requirements by allowing data to be outsourced to cloud servers. However, the paper also addresses security privacy concerns linked to cloud storage, which stem from data ownership and management division, resulting in users losing direct control over their outsourced data.
The authors concentrate on the challenge of verifiable outsourced data deletion, a significant issue that has not been adequately addressed in either industry or academic circles. They present an effective fine-grained outsourced data deletion scheme utilizing the invertible Bloom filter. This solution facilitates both public and private verification of the storage and deletion processes. Suppose the cloud server fails to manage or remove the data accurately and creates the associated evidence. In that case, users can detect any malicious actions by the cloud server with a high likelihood.
Additionally, the authors note that within their proposed scheme, the computational complexity of both data deletion and verification of deletion results remains unaffected by the quantity of outsourced data blocks. This property makes the scheme appropriate for extensive data deletion scenarios.
Ultimately, the paper includes a thorough security evaluation and performance assessment, validating the security and practicality of the proposed scheme. This comprehensive method for tackling the issue of verifiable outsourced data deletion in cloud storage represents a notable contribution to the field
A coalizão empresarial na crise brasileira: da crítica à “nova matriz econômica” à defesa da “ponte do para o futuro” (2011-2017)
Authors: Vaccari Gabriel da Silva
Published: August 2024

O artigo analisa o comportamento político das elites empresariais da indústria e dos bancos durante a crise brasileira, entre 2011 e 2017. Reconstruindo a conjuntura do período com base na comparação das avaliações, posições e reivindicações contidas no discurso e nas ações das principais entidades associativas de ambos setores, concluimos que, ao longo do primeiro governo de Dilma Rousseff, com a queda do crescimento econômico, o acirramento do conflito distributivo entre capital e trabalho levou industriais e banqueiros a secundarizarem as contradições que os dividiam em coalizões produtivista e rentista e se unificarem em uma coalizão crítica à Dilma e defensora das reformas neoliberais implementadas por Michel Temer após o impeachment.

Published: August 2024

O artigo objetiva compreender de que forma ocorre a parceria público-privada na compra de vagas na Educação Infantil no município de Santa Maria/RS, e a percepção das gestoras e professoras das escolas credenciadas sobre a qualidade dessa oferta. Para tanto, pautou-se metodologicamente na abordagem qualitativa, utilizando-se embasamento teórico e documental, bem como de entrevistas semiestruturadas com a gestão da SMED (Secretaria Municipal de Educação) e aplicação de questionário com a gestão e com uma professora de cada escola autorizada para compra de vagas de Santa Maria/RS. A fundamentação teórica aborda um estudo a partir dos autores Kramer (2006), Adrião (2009), Nóvoa (1991). Além disso, aborda as legislações e documentos orientadores para o acesso e qualidade na Educação Infantil no Brasil. Como resultado, ficou evidente que embora Santa Maria/RS tenha ampliado as vagas na oferta da Educação Infantil, essa ampliação aconteceu via parceria público-privada. Esse serviço tem apresentado distinções e baixa qualidade no atendimento prestado a toda comunidade. Do ponto de vista deste artigo, além da necessidade de divulgação dos dados da pesquisa, é premente a necessidade de autoavaliação das escolas credenciadas para venda de vagas, visando uma melhoria na qualidade dessa oferta.

Childhood studies and leisure studies: a call for active participation and research with children
Authors: Ferreira Flávia Martinelli
Published: August 2024

The reviewed book offers an innovative study of British Indian middle-class families, drawing upon the voices of children and parents, and establishing an original dialogue between childhood studies, family studies, and leisure studies to theorize children's leisure from a fresh perspective. The great originality of the work is concentrated in the approach to these issues also from the point of view of children. To understand them only as followers of their parents' instructions is to deny their agency. In this sense, the book, apart from being a quality work in itself, serves as an invitation to reconsider academic productions in the field of education and physical education when it comes to leisure. It prompts a reevaluation of existing academic literature and invites authors to critically examine their approaches to studying leisure within the context of education and physical education.
The Role of Social Studies Education in Achieving a Global Peace
Authors: FOLORUNSO Christianah Omowamide , ADEGBOYE Ademola Amos
Published: August 2024

Social Studies helps nations to be informed and reasoned decisions for the public good and citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world. It describes the importance of cultural unity and diversity within and across groups. Social Studies cuts across several disciplines which are all connected to human population, situations, and psychological understating in achieving global peace among nations. It educates people by providing them with the skills and attitudes that may help them become responsible and competent citizens. Social Studies is vital for peace education as well as promotes national and international development. The focus of Social Studies is essentially man, the society and the environment. Its ultimate aim is to equip individuals with knowledge and understanding for peaceful relationships and living. Through the subject, learners are expected to acquire requisite skills, values, attitudes, and cognition to meet the challenges of a peaceful international society. It has been observed that the nations who used Social Studies as a corrective measure for reconstruction and rehabilitation of their societies placed high value in the implementation of their Social Studies curriculum because the subject exposes them to new values and skills necessary for the sustainability of a peaceful nation .One of the benefits of Social Studies is the ability to think critically when it comes to social issues and their understanding. It encompasses civic, moral, security, and peace education among others and is a part of a school or college curriculum concerned with the study of social relationships, and functioning of society. It usually incorporates courses in history, government, economics, civics, sociology, geography and anthropology etc. In the milieu of the incessant violence, terrorism, militancy, insurgence, hate speeches, kidnapping, injustice, marginalization among other threats to peace and security in the nation, this paper is of the view that Social Studies, if refocused at all levels, can be a vehicle for achieving global peace. It is therefore recommended among other things, that Social Studies should be made compulsory from nursery to university levels of education. These will, among other benefits, help in the elimination of discriminating practices by governments at all levels in order to create harmony of co-existence and co-operation among nations.

The Radicalization of the Postmillennials: The Queer-Feminist Strain in the Romanian Contemporary Poetry and the Distinguishing Ethos
Authors: Farmatu Teona
Published: August 2024

My paper aims to discuss the configuration of the queer-feminist phenomenon, with its derivatives in intersectionalism, ecofeminism and posthumanism in postmillennial Romanian poetry. The premises of this approach are, on the one hand, the left-wing ideological radicalization of the poetic discourse, and, on the other hand, the shaping of a distinguishing ethos, through which the postmillennial poets create a self-legitimizing international network comprising feminist and/or queer writers and theorists like Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, Virginia Woolf, Ocean Vuong, Natalia Ginzburg, Maryse Condé, Bruno Latour, etc. Therefore, the article focuses on theoretical import through poetic creation, since, less common in Romanian literary filed, it claims the urgency for theoretical and ethical debates on militant cultural currents and directions against patriarchy, exploitation of nature and animals by humans, and against the classical centre-periphery dichotomy.
Making Sense of Bookster: A Commercial Rental Library and Public Libraries in Romanian Capitalist Realism
Authors: Vătavu Bogdan
Published: August 2024

This article employs Mark Fisher’s concept of capitalist realism to frame a discussion about the neoliberalisation of Romanian librarianship. Bookster, a Romanian online rental library that mainly services corporate employees and often advertises itself as public library, is taken here as a case study. Capitalist realism is reinforced in this particular case by the fact that a private, profit-driven company successfully assumes the identity of a public library, even mediating book rentals between state libraries and the platform’s own end-users. On the other hand, librarianship as academic discipline has distanced itself from the idea of the library (undergoing rebranding as ‘information science’), while public libraries in Romania and all over the world have been subjected to the most drastic neoliberal policies of commodification and privatization. This dynamic ultimately paints the very picture of capitalist realism, implying that the private sector alone is capable of successfully running libraries.

A retinopatia diabética (RD) é uma complicação grave do diabetes mellitus, caracterizada por alterações patológicas nos vasos sanguíneos da retina devido à hiperglicemia crônica. Ela pode levar à perda significativa da visão e até mesmo à cegueira, afetando a qualidade de vida dos pacientes de maneira substancial. A prevalência da RD é elevada em pacientes com diabetes tipo 1 e tipo 2, sendo influenciada por fatores como a duração da doença e o controle glicêmico inadequado. Mecanismos fisiopatológicos incluem a disfunção endotelial, a formação de microaneurismas e a neovascularização, todos contribuindo para a deterioração da saúde retinal. O diagnóstico é aprimorado por técnicas avançadas, como fotografia de fundo de olho, tomografia de coerência óptica (OCT) e angiografia por fluoresceína, que permitem a detecção precoce e o acompanhamento detalhado da doença. O tratamento da RD envolve abordagens como fotocoagulação a laser, terapias antiangiogênicas e corticosteroides, com o objetivo de controlar a progressão da doença e preservar a visão. Além disso, o controle rigoroso da glicemia e a triagem regular são essenciais para prevenir a progressão da RD e minimizar o impacto da doença na vida dos pacientes. Estratégias contínuas de manejo e novas pesquisas são necessárias para melhorar os resultados clínicos e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes afetados, destacando a importância de uma abordagem multidisciplinar no tratamento da retinopatia diabética.

Abstract. The contribution of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) to sea level rise (SLR) is accelerating and there is an urgent need to improve predictions of when and from what parts of the ice sheet Greenland will contribute its first meter. Estimating the volume of Greenland ice that was lost during past warm periods offers a way to constrain the ice sheet’s response to future warming. Sub-ice sediment and bedrock, retrieved from deep ice core campaigns or targeted drilling efforts, yield critical and direct information about past ice-free conditions. However, it is challenging to scale the few available sub-ice point measurements to the geometry of the entire ice sheet. Here, we provide a framework for assessing sea-level potential, which we define as the amount the GIS has contributed to sea level when a particular location in Greenland is ice-free, from an ensemble of ice-sheet model simulations representing a wide range of plausible deglaciation scenarios. An assessment of dominant sources of uncertainty in our paleo ice sheet modelling, including climate forcing, ice-sheet initialization, and solid-Earth properties, reveals spatial patterns in the sensitivity of the ice sheet to these processes and related feedbacks. We find that the sea-level potential of central Greenland is most sensitive to lithospheric feedbacks and ice-sheet initialization, whereas the ice-sheet margins are most sensitive to climate forcing parameters. Our framework allows us to quantify the local and regional uncertainty in sea-level potential, which we use to evaluate the GIS bedrock according to the usefulness of information sub-ice sediments and bedrock provide about past ice-sheet geometry. Through our ensemble approach, we can assign a plausible range of GIS contributions to global sea level for deglaciated conditions at any site. Our results identify primarily areas in southwest Greenland, and secondarily north Greenland, as best-suited for subglacial access drilling that seeks to constrain the response of the ice sheet to past and future warming.

Abstract. Coastal waters are impacted by a range of natural and anthropogenic factors, which superimpose on effects of increasing atmospheric CO2, resulting in dynamically changing seawater carbonate chemistry. Research on influences of dynamic pH/pCO2 on marine ecosystem is still in its infancy, although effects of ocean acidification have been extensively studied. In the present study, we manipulated the culturing pH/pCO2 to investigate physiological performance and fatty acid (FA) composition of two coastal diatoms Skeletonema costatum and Thalassiosira weissflogii in both steady and fluctuating pH/pCO2 regimes. Generally, seawater acidification and pH variability showed neutral or positive effects on specific growth rate, chlorophyll a, and biogenic silica contents of two species. Elevated pCO2 inhibited net photosynthetic rate by 27 % and enhanced mitochondrial respiration rate of S. costatum by 36 % in the steady pH regime, while these rates were unaltered by elevated pCO2 in the fluctuating regime. Elevated pCO2 leaded to 21 % lower saturated FA and twofold increase in polyunsaturated FA proportions of T. weissflogii. Our results indicate that costal acidification could affect primary production in a different way from ocean acidification. Together with the altered nutritional quality of prey for higher trophic levels, coastal acidification might have far-reaching consequence for marine ecosystem functioning.
kNNDM CV: k-fold nearest-neighbour distance matching cross-validation for map accuracy estimation

Published: August 2024

Abstract. Random and spatial cross-validation (CV) methods are commonly used to evaluate machine-learning-based spatial prediction models, and the performance values obtained are often interpreted as map accuracy estimates. However, the appropriateness of such approaches is currently the subject of controversy. For the common case where no probability sample for validation purposes is available, in Milà et al. (2022) we proposed the nearest-neighbour distance matching (NNDM) leave-one-out (LOO) CV method. This method produces a distribution of geographical nearest-neighbour distances (NNDs) between test and training locations during CV that matches the distribution of NNDs between prediction and training locations. Hence, it creates predictive conditions during CV that are comparable to what is required when predicting a defined area. Although NNDM LOO CV produced largely reliable map accuracy estimates in our analysis, as a LOO-based method, it cannot be applied to the large datasets found in many studies. Here, we propose a novel k-fold CV strategy for map accuracy estimation inspired by the concepts of NNDM LOO CV: the k-fold NNDM (kNNDM) CV. The kNNDM algorithm tries to find a k-fold configuration such that the empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF) of NNDs between test and training locations during CV is matched to the ECDF of NNDs between prediction and training locations. We tested kNNDM CV in a simulation study with different sampling distributions and compared it to other CV methods including NNDM LOO CV. We found that kNNDM CV performed similarly to NNDM LOO CV and produced reasonably reliable map accuracy estimates across sampling patterns. However, compared to NNDM LOO CV, kNNDM resulted in significantly reduced computation times. In an experiment using 4000 strongly clustered training points, kNNDM CV reduced the time spent on fold assignment and model training from 4.8 d to 1.2 min. Furthermore, we found a positive association between the quality of the match of the two ECDFs in kNNDM and the reliability of the map accuracy estimates. kNNDM provided the advantages of our original NNDM LOO CV strategy while bypassing its sample size limitations.

Abstract. A new set of standalone parameterizations is presented for simulating the injection, evolution, and radiative forcing by stratospheric volcanic aerosols against an idealized Held–Suarez–Williamson (HSW) atmospheric background in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 2 (E3SMv2). In this model configuration (HSW with enabled volcanism, HSW-V), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and ash are injected into the atmosphere with a specified profile in the vertical, and they proceed to follow a simple exponential decay. The SO2 decay is modeled as a perfect conversion to a long-living sulfate aerosol which persists in the stratosphere. All three species are implemented as tracers in the model framework and are transported by the dynamical core's advection algorithm. The aerosols contribute simultaneously to local heating of the stratosphere and cooling of the surface by a simple plane-parallel Beer–Lambert law applied on two zonally symmetric radiation broadbands in the longwave and shortwave ranges. It is shown that the implementation parameters can be tuned to produce realistic temperature anomaly signatures of large volcanic events. In particular, results are shown for an ensemble of runs that mimic the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991. The design requires no coupling to microphysical subgrid-scale parameterizations and thus approaches the computational affordability of prescribed aerosol forcing strategies. The idealized simulations contain a single isolated volcanic event against a statistically uniform climate, where no background aerosols or other sources of externally forced variability are present. HSW-V represents a simpler-to-understand tool for the development of climate source-to-impact attribution methods.

Poverty and disasters are complex issues that directly impact the quality of life and security of people worldwide. Poverty makes communities more vulnerable to disasters, thereby increasing the risks of catastrophes. Factors such as inadequate infrastructure, unplanned urbanization, and resource limitations exacerbate the effects of poverty, potentially escalating the frequency and severity of disasters. Moreover, low educational attainment and insufficient pre-disaster risk management can adversely affect post-disaster crisis management, hindering swift recovery efforts for communities. Impoverished communities often struggle to access essential services such as emergency medical assistance in the aftermath of disasters. This difficulty significantly impairs post-disaster response and recovery efforts, deepening the impact of disasters on impoverished societies and prolonging the return to normalcy. Economic losses, asset depletion, and decreased labor productivity further push already impoverished populations into long-term cycles of poverty. Restrictions in accessing basic necessities also pose significant barriers during post-disaster recovery processes; challenges in transportation, housing, and nutrition can contribute to worsening poverty conditions. In this context, the role of poverty in disaster preparedness is crucial. It is vital for countries like Turkey to strengthen the capacities of all local communities and develop effective disaster strategies. Integrating poverty alleviation strategies with disaster management systems is essential to mitigate disaster risks, minimize post-disaster impacts, and facilitate faster community recovery. This study aims to underscore the importance of poverty in disaster preparedness processes and develop strategic recommendations by focusing on the relationship between poverty and disasters in Turkey.

Promoting and optimizing green building projects based on renewable energy applications means that green building projects require more investment than traditional buildings. Green buildings using renewable energy are different from conventional construction cost control. Full-life cycle cost management is a way to analyze and manage the planning, construction, operation, maintenance, and residual costs of construction projects. It would be best if you had the law. This study uses mathematical models combined with relevant accounting theories and research methods to analyze the overall situation of green building cost control based on the application of renewable energy.

Clustering is an effective tool for diversifying investments, reducing risk and identifying new opportunities. Clustering plays a key role in data analysis, allowing you to group objects with similar characteristics. This study examines the application of clustering to the tasks of forming and optimizing investment portfolios. The paper presents two clustering methods: K-medoids and fuzzy clustering (C-means). K-medoids divides assets into clusters by correlation, and C-means allows assets to belong to several clusters with varying degrees. The article analyzes various clustering methods in the context of the stock market. Similarity measures for stock clustering are compared. The K-means algorithm for clustering companies by time series is presented. Chaotic cartographic clustering is used to analyze the dynamics of the stock market. The TreeGNG algorithm is used to identify stock market sectors. The HRK method has been developed to predict short-term changes in stock prices. The application of data mining methods to predict stock market trends is discussed. The K-means and C-means methods for clustering banking and energy companies are compared. The effectiveness of the SOM-SVR hybrid approach for predicting price dynamics and volatility is demonstrated. C-means combines with artificial neural networks to improve the accuracy of stock market forecasting. The study demonstrates the potential of various clustering methods in the context of compiling and optimizing investment portfolios.

Устойчивость грунтовых искусственных сооружений, состоящих из несвязных грунтов, представляет собой одну из важнейших инженерных задач проблемы надежности, решение которой возможно лишь на основе комплексного подхода. Одной из наиболее значительных проблем, возникающих при  расчетах устойчивости, является определение расчетных характеристик грунта, от которых зависит корректность и точность расчета. Такими характеристиками являются показатели прочности грунтов – угол внутреннего трения, коэффициент внутреннего трения и удельное сцепление. В настоящее время актуальна задача их экспериментального определения в условиях, максимально приближенных к действительному напряженно-деформированному состоянию грунтовых массивов в составе насыпей и выемок земляного полотна железных и автомобильных дорог.  Целью настоящей работы являлось исследование влияния напряженно-деформированного состояния, соответствующего различным уплотняющим вертикальным нагрузкам на прочностные характеристики несвязных грунтов. Обработка результатов испытаний производилась с учетом изменения площади контактной поверхности грунта в плоскости сдвига и сил трения между грунтом и металлической обоймой прибора. Скорость сдвига при проведении испытаний исключала концентрацию касательных напряжений у краев грунтового образца. Напряженно-деформированное состояние грунта при срезе в приборе моделировало реальное напряженно-деформированное состояние грунта при сдвиге в натурных условиях. Результаты, изложенные в данной работе, рекомендуется использовать в расчетах устойчивости грунтовых искусственных сооружений, состоящих из  несвязных грунтов нарушенной структуры.
