Crypto-assets: Economic Nature, Classification and Regulation of Turnover
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Kochergin Dmitry
Published: November 2022

This article is devoted to the study of the economic nature of cryptoassets, the development of their original classification, and the determination of the main directions of regulation of their turnover. These topics are the objects of modern discourse of international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank (MB), the Group of 7 (G7), the Group of 20 (G20), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and the Financial Stability Board (FSB). The study reviews the modern discourse of international organizations regarding cryptoassets, presents an interpretation of cryptoassets as a new class of financial assets, justifies the classification of cryptoassets, and identifies the main types and economic characteristics of digital assets. The study was conducted using a system-functional and system-structural method. As a result of this study, it is concluded that the activities of international organizations are focused on developing recommendations and principles for regulating transactions with cryptocurrencies and global stablecoins, prudential supervision of their issuers, unifying approaches to taxation, and countering illegal transactions using cryptoassets. The study concluded that crypto-assets are private digital assets that are recorded digitally in a distributed ledger and can be used as a means of exchange and/or investment tool and/or means of access to goods and services of issuer. According to the authorʼs classification crypto-assets are divided into two main types: virtual currencies and digital tokens. Virtual currencies are a means of exchange or payment as well as a means of saving. The two main subtypes of virtual currencies are cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. Digital tokens are issued for specific investment functions or consumer purposes. Tokens can be divided into investment tokens and utility tokens. The study also finds that there is no international regulation of cryptoassets turnover. National regulation is significantly differentiated between countries due to the lack of common interpretation and classification of cryptoassets and different assessments of economic risks of their turnover for national financial systems. In most developed countries: the USA, EU countries, UK, Switzerland, etc. – a flexible approach to regulating various types of cryptoassets and their issuers prevails. In emerging market countries such as China, Turkey, and Russia, regulation is more stringent and characterized by the widespread use of prohibitive measures. The main problem of the legal regulation of cryptoassets in Russia is its fragmentation and the predominance of a prohibitive bias. Modern regime of regulation of cryptoassets in Russia is weakly related to their economic nature and is not equivalent to the risks of turnover of cryptoassets.
СМЕЖНЫЕ ПРАВА: СРАВНИТЕЛЬНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ НЕОДНОРОДНЫХ ПРАВ
Authors: ШИРКОВА Ирина Владимировна
Published: November 2022

Реализация прав и свобод человека, в том числе свободы творчества, участия в научно-техническом прогрессе, и использование его благ обеспечивают формирование определенных ресурсов для развития как самого человека, так и человечества в целом. Поэтому реализация смежных прав в современных условиях особенно актуальна, поскольку именно правообладатели этих прав раскрывают новые горизонты распространения и использования творческой и иной информации, направленной на преобразование и совершенствование условий жизни человека и общества. Учитывая расплывчатость и разнородность смежных прав, целесообразно исследовать объекты и субъекты данной категории прав в целях недопущения ограничения их правовой охраны.

В исследовании сущности смежных прав использовался диалектический метод, позволивший комплексно изучить содержание предмета. Обобщение существующих дефиниций и законодательная база дали возможность выделить характерные черты исследуемой категории: для объектов смежных прав характерным признаком является результат, облеченный в определенную форму с помощью, как правило, технических средств. Смежные права являются только совокупностью правовых норм, регламентирующих охрану разнородных прав; основания возникновения смежных прав подразделяется на категории: для одной (исполнитель) — достаточно деятельности, основанной на творческом потенциале, не связанной с материальными затратами, а для других — действий, связанных с определенными затратами. Смежные права возникают и могут реализовываться без соблюдения каких бы то ни было формальностей. Обоснована необходимость расширения субъектного состава в целях обеспечения охраны смежных прав на законодательном уровне.

Published: November 2022

MicroRNAs are non-coding molecules 21–23 nucleotides long that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by mRNA silencing. There is evidence that miRNA activity is associated with various types of human cancer, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. In 2020, the incidence of kidney cancer worldwide was 319,016. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is associated with loss or mutation of the VHL gene. The aim of this study was to identify miRNAs that are expressed differently in samples of normal kidney tissue and tissue affected by clear cell renal cell carcinoma. For this study, a public miRNA dataset from ArrayExpress was obtained and post-processed. Mapping, identification of known and new microRNAs, and quantification were performed using the miRDeep2 computer program from the DESeq R/Bioconductor package. We performed target identification and functional load analysis using GeneCodis4. A total of 2656 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed, of which 229 miRNAs were overexpressed and 302 were underexpressed. In this study, we identified five miRNAs that were already known from the literature to be significantly associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. In addition, we found a set of five microRNAs that had not previously associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Reframing Urban Nature-Based Solutions Through Perspectives of Environmental Justice and Privilege
Authors: Bauer Willi
Published: November 2022

Since its introduction, the concept of “nature-based solutions” has gained much attention, drawing public funds and private investments. Nature-based solutions conceptualise the use of nature in planning as a cost-efficient and sustainable means to address societal, economic, and ecological challenges. However, this “triple win” premise tends to conceal potentially resulting injustices, such as displacement through green gentrification. While these injustices have attracted the attention of environmental justice scholars, as exemplified by the “just green enough” approach, links to the “nature-based solutions” concept are mostly implicit. Further, the concept of environmental privilege, questioning who benefits from created natural amenities, has rarely been taken up. This article, therefore, argues that environmental justice should be linked closely to nature-based solutions. Supported by a theoretical perspective, the article aims at exploring who benefits from, and who loses out on, urban nature-based solutions processes. It builds on a qualitative literature review of the scholarly landscape on environmental justice and urban greening while linking to nature-based solutions, adding perspectives of environmental privilege. In this, it attempts to offer three important contributions to the current academic discussion. First, the article provides an overview of the debate on urban greening, (in)justice, and environmental privilege. Second, it relates the concept of nature-based solutions to the debate on environmental justice, opening nature-based solutions up for critique and conceptual refinements. Third, it outlines a way forward for reframing nature-based solutions through the lens of environmental justice and privilege. Thus, this article provides a starting point for further discussions on the implementation of just nature-based solutions in cities.

Published: November 2022

Cloud computing opens doors to the multiple, unlimited venues from elastic computing to on demand provisioning to dynamic storage, reduce the potential costs through optimized and efficient computing. To provide secure and reliable services in cloud computing environment is an important issue. One of the security issues is how to reduce the impact of for any type of intrusion in this environment. To counter these kinds of attacks, a framework of cooperative Hybrid intrusion detection system (Hy-IDS) and Mobile Agents is proposed. This framework allows protection against the intrusion attacks. Our Hybrid IDS is based on two types of IDS, the first for the detection of attacks at the level of virtual machines (VMs), the second for the network attack detection and Mobile Agents. Then, this framework unfolds in three phases: the first, detection intrusion in a virtual environment using mobile agents for collected malicious data. The second, generating new signatures from malicious data, which were collected in the first phase. The third, dynamic deployment of updates between clusters in a cloud computing, using the newest signatures previously created. By this type of close-loop control, the collaborative network security management system can identify and address new distributed attacks more quickly and effectively. In this paper, we develop a collaborative approach based on Hy-IDS and Mobile Agents in Cloud Environment, to define a dynamic context which enables the detection of new attacks, with much detail as possible.
A new Itinerary planning approach among multiple mobile agents in wireless sensor networks (WSN) to reduce energy consumption

Published: November 2022

one of the important challenges in wireless sensors networks (WSN) resides in energy consumption. In order to resolve this limitation, several solutions were proposed. Recently, the exploitation of mobile agent technologies in wireless sensor networks to optimize energy consumption attracts researchers. Despite their advantage as an ambitious solution, the itineraries followed by migrating mobile agents can surcharge the network and so have an impact on energy consumption. Many researches have dealt with itinerary planning in WSNs through the use of a single agent (SIP: Single agent Itinerary Planning) or multiple mobile agents (MIP: Multiple agents Itinerary Planning). However, the use of multi-agents causes the emergence of the data load unbalancing problem among mobile agents, where the geographical distance is the unique factor motivating to plan the itinerary of the agents. The data balancing factor has an important role especially in Wireless sensor networks multimedia that owns a considerable volume of data size. It helps to optimize the tasks duration and thus optimizes the overall answer time of the network.  In this paper, we provide a new MIP solution (GIGM-MIP) which is based not only on geographic information but also on the amount of data provided by each node to reduce the energy consumption of the network. The simulation experiments show that our approach is more efficient than other approaches in terms of task duration and the amount of energy consumption.
Spectral Efficiency Evaluation for Selection Combining Diversity Schemes under Worst Case of Fading Scenario
Authors: Hasan Mohammad Irfanul , Kumar Sanjay
Published: November 2022

The results of spectral efficiencies for optimum rate adaptation with constant power (ORA) and channel inversion with fixed rate (CIFR) schemes over uncorrelated diversity branch with Selection Combining (SC) available so far in literature are applicable only for m?1.This paper derived closed-form expressions for the spectral efficiency of dual-branch SC over uncorrelated Nakagami-0.5(m<1) fading channels. This spectral efficiency is evaluated under ORA and CIFR schemes. Since, the spectral efficiency expression under ORA scheme contains an infinite series, hence bounds on the errors resulting from truncating the infinite series have been derived The corresponding expressions for Nakagami-0.5 fading are called expressions under worst fading condition with severe fading. Finally, numerical results are presented, which are then compared to the spectral efficiency results which have been previously published for ORA and CIFR schemes. It has been observed that by employing SC, spectral efficiency improves under ORA, but does not improve under CIFR

Published: November 2022

Objective: Optic neuritis (ON) is the most common ocular finding of multiple sclerosis (MS). ON can cause axonal loss and abnormalities in both optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters and visual evoked potentials (VEPs). In this study, the retinal fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC) and macular thicknesses were measured with OCT and compared between MS cases with and without a clinical history of ON and healthy individuals. In addition, it was examined whether these values were correlated with VEP and clinical findings and whether they could be used as a marker of axonal loss.

Method: The study included 49 patients with MS (98 eyes) and 30 healthy controls (60 eyes) aged 18-55 years. Visual acuity, color vision, VEP, and OCT measurements were evaluated.

Results: RNFL, GCC, macula (except the superior outer layer), and foveal thickness measurements were statistically significantly thinner in all MS patients, especially in eyes with a history of ON.

Conclusion: Due to the detection of deterioration in these values in non-ON eyes, it was concluded that the use of OCT in all patients, not only in MS patients with ON, would be beneficial, and as the number of parameters measured in OCT is increased, its distinctive feature will improve and axonal damage can be better evaluated in MS patients.

Published: November 2022

Objective: In this study, it is aimed to examine the coping strategies and quality of life of patients with lung cancer. In this context, the relationship between strategies for coping with lung cancer and the quality of life of patients is discussed. The effect of treatment duration on coping strategies and quality of life is also being examined.

Method: The cross-sectional survey study and the convenience sampling method were used in the study. The World Health Organization Quality of Life- BREF (WHOQOL-Bref; 27 items) and Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Brief-COPE; 28 items) were used as scales. The data of this research were obtained from 201 patients diagnosed with lung cancer and undergoing treatment.

Results: Research results show that 53.0% of the participants were women and 86.1% were married. In addition, the mean age of the participants was 57.19±7.01 (mean ± s. Deviation). A positive correlation emerged between each domain of the WHOQOL-BREF scale. As for the coping scale, it was determined that there were positive and weak relationships between problem-focused coping strategies and quality of life in active coping, planning and positive refraining strategies. It was determined that there was a positive and weak relationship between positive emotion-focused coping strategies and quality of life in all coping strategies. Finally, it was determined that negative emotion-focused coping strategies such as ventilation, behavioral disengagement, denial, and self-blame were affecting the patient’s quality of life negatively.

Conclusion: In conclusion, lung cancer patients who used both problem-focused and positive emotion-oriented coping strategies achieved a higher quality of life. On the other hand, it is an important conclusion to consider that negative emotion focused coping strategies negatively affect patients’ quality of life. Finally, it can be expressed as another conclusion of this study that age, income and duration of treatment affect both the quality of life and coping strategies of lung cancer patients.

Authors: DUYMUŞ Mehmet Esat , BAYRAMOĞLU Zeynep , AYİK Hulya , BAG Yusuf Murat
Published: November 2022

Objective: Cervical cytology (CC) is a routine screening method used to reduce cervical cancer. Although anal cancer and cervical cancer have similar etiological factors the opinion about the anal cancer screening program is unclear. We aimed to determine the features of women with abnormal anal cytology (AC) who had screened via CC for cervical neoplasia.

Methods: Two hundred and five females' CC results were investigated. The patients with normal CC were excluded, finally 87 participants were included. The demographics, medical, sexual, and reproductive features, CC and AC results were analyzed.

Results: The study group had a mean age of 40.77 ± 9.50 years. AC was pathological in six patients (6.9%). Four of these (66.7%) were high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and two (33.3%) were low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). The CC results of these patients were all HSIL, all of them were human papillomavirus (HPV) positive, with the most common type being 16 (83.3%).

Conclusion: Women with HSIL in CC (especially with concomitant HPV) may be riskier for AC positivity. The others are most likely to have negative AC results. The use of AC for early diagnosis of risky anal intraepithelial lesions (such as a screening tool) may be considered for this group of patients.
Смертоносные автономные системы вооружения: ландшафт и перспективы
Authors: Богданов Константин , Евтодьева Марианна
Published: November 2022

Активное развитие военных технологий искусственного интеллекта приближает момент массового развертывания смертоносных автономных систем вооружения (САС). Точное международно признанное определение САС до сих пор отсутствует, что приводит к терминологическим спорам, за которыми скрываются как военно-технические, так и этико-философские проблемы. Задача контроля над автономными системами оружия сложна и должна рассматриваться междисциплинарно, одновременно в нескольких плоскостях, включая соображения оперативного применения, морально-этические дилеммы и правовые коллизии. Все три типа соображений фокусируются вокруг проблем значимого человеческого контроля и атрибуции ответственности за применение САС. Показана проблема фиктивности номинального человеческого контроля над сложными техническими системами, использующими непрозрачные алгоритмы функционирования. Значительное сопротивление разработчиков новых видов оружия, доказывающих достаточность существующих норм международного гуманитарного права для регулирования новой области, затрудняет введение дополнительных ограничений на САС. Существующие соглашения по контролю над распространением технологий лишь частично способны служить инструментом для контроля над САС. Отмечено, что в случае с САС возможен мощный импульс к развитию особого направления в контроле над вооружениями, связанного с юридическими аспектами атрибуции ответственности за неправомерное применение систем оружия, чего не наблюдалось прежде в корпусе международно-правовой базы по контролю над вооружениями. В условиях обрушения системы контроля над вооружениями, сложившейся после окончания холодной войны, в кратко- и среднесрочном периоде могут быть предложены определенные частные меры предотвращения наиболее дестабилизирующих проявлений САС.
Religious Proselytism in Statecraft: A Past and Present Comparison of Russia and the United States
Authors: Korten C.
Published: November 2022

This article seeks to understand the use of religious proselytizing in the Statecraft of the United States and Russia. The different perspectives on this activity is first assessed historically. The experiences that both countries had (or did not have, in the case of the US), provide insights into the disparity of opinion and practice between the two countries today. This historical view reveals how politically important and influential such activity was for Russia. Good relations with religious leaders and their religious movements helped to ensure stability in far flung regions of its territory, and active attempts to convert other people, i.e. proselytizing, was seen as politically aggressive and socially disruptive. The second part of this article looks at the contemporary implications of statecraft and proselytization. One sees a continuity between the imperial, Soviet and contemporary periods regarding proselytism, despite the political diversity of the periods. Domestically, Russia has clamped down on religious organizations with ties to the US and whose practices included active proselytizing. In this way, one can see how it believes religion, and proselytizing in particular, can be politicized or weaponized and used in foreign policy. Beyond its borders, Russia has employed the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) in proselytizing or quasi-proselytizing activities to help carry out its political agendas. For the US, religious conversions were traditionally never part of the national or political discourse, and so there is still a tendency to view such activity as innocuous, individual experiences. Meanwhile, Russia continues its crackdown on religions which promote an aggressive proselytizing agenda, and especially US-based ones, such as the Jehovah’s Witnesses, whose members are often treated as enemies of the state.

Published: November 2022

The article develops and tests a new approach to assessing the management system flexibility of a textile enterprise and its economic security. A questionnaire with a list of statements characterizing the flexibility of the enterprise economic security system as a whole and its individual components is provided. Determining the flexibility of an enterprise economic security system depends on two types of parameters: 1) parameters characterizing flexibility of an economic security system as a whole; 2) parameters characterizing the flexibility of components of an economic security system. This approach is based on the interpretation of the results of an expert assessment and using the tools of economic and mathematical modeling allows to determine the level of flexibility of an economic security system in the range from 0 to 1. The definition of flexibility itself is not an end in itself, since the ability of an enterprise to react to threats of various levels depends on their intensity level. That is, it is expedient for the management of enterprises to take into account the actual level of flexibility, which allows to determine the most probable mechanism operation mode for enterprise ensuring economic security (forced, of increased activity, rational, reserve) in accordance with the level of flexibility of the economic security system.
The Study of Shape Flat Hull Ship Toward Resistance

Published: November 2022

Flat hull ships are increasingly being used in Indonesia for fishing boats, passenger ships and tourist boats. However, this sort of ship has a shortcoming in terms of the enormous resistance compared to streamlined hull vessels, therefore it is necessary to study the hull design of the flat hull ship. In addition, the purpose of this research was to study the effect of the shape and arrangement of the flat plates that form the hull of the ship on the resistance. The research method was the comparator ship method in which the design of the ship models with a flat plate hull was compared to the resistance experienced with a ship with a streamlined hull form (comparator ship). Hence, to reveal the resistance experienced by each ship model, this research used the Maxsurf Resistance Software. The results of the study found that the more similar the hull plate arrangement of a flat hull ship with a comparator ship, the closer the resistance being experienced. The unevenness of the flat hull ship causes energy losses that make the ship have high resistance.
IoT-Based Detection and Early Warning System for Acid Leaking in Underground Pipeline
Authors: Asraf Hairuddin Muhammad , Fikri Nazri Muhammad , Farid Saaid Mohammad
Published: November 2022

Leaks in pipelines caused by acid are destructive to both economic growth and capital which should be avoided at all costs. Damage to underground pipelines is caused by a hard-to-find leak, the unavailability of a real-time monitoring system and the lack of a pipeline history database. The aim of this work is to develop an early warning system to detect acid leaking in the pipeline using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. To detect changes in the pH of acid soil parameters near the pipeline, two mechanisms are required: first, to provide an early warning before the leak is detected and second, to report the occurrence of the leak. The notification system is equipped with three LED indicators, each showing the offline, online and signal detection status. The novelty of the work is a prototype that can detect the acid leak in the pipeline and record the pH values in a database for future research. Using continuous pH monitoring, real-time analysis and a database, this system can detect leaks before they become a major problem. Consequently, the manufacturing industry will benefit from this initiative as it is automated, efficient and cost-effective.

Published: November 2022

This paper focuses on the scientific analysis of the interrelationships between executive functions and the professional competencies of future teachers. The research aims to reveal this relationship by measuring the interaction styles of future teachers (organiser, helping, understanding, leading to responsibility, insecure, dissatisfied, reprimanding, strict), didactic competencies (planning and preparing lessons, lesson implementation, classroom climate, diagnosis and evaluation, self-reflection), teaching styles (manager, knowledge-oriented, goal-oriented, supportive) and the level of their executive functions (planning, time management, organising, emotional regulation, behaviour regulation). The most significant findings are the moderate relationship between the executive functions and the interaction styles of the teaching adepts and between the executive functions and the didactic competencies of the teaching adepts. We found no statistically significant relationships between executive functions and teaching styles.

Meanwhile, in Vietnam, there exists a lack of evidence on how firms are managing their intellectual property strategically. With that being said, this paper aims to provide a systematic analysis of successful intellectual property management practices of Vietnamese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The authors redesign Intellectual Creation Cycle by Japan Patent Office, taking into account the unique management scenario among Vietnamese businesses. Then, we demonstrate patent and trademark management of six representative SMEs each in four steps: Creation, Registration, Utilisation and Protection. Data collection is based on in-depth interviews with directors of the selected companies. One of the most important findings is that it highlights collaboration between universities/public research institutions and businesses in an effort to develop high value-added products. Also, from the policy-making perspective, a number of lessons have also been drawn out: first, universities and public research institutions should be promoted to commercialise their research outputs; second, enhancement of finance scheme by the industry plays an important role in the IP commercialisation process. This paper thus provides strategic guidelines for Vietnamese SMEs in corporate IP management. It also proposes some practical insights for policy makers with respect to the promotion of IP among businesses, in particular SMEs for the purpose of economic growth.
Linking social stress, health and social behavior through the lens of evolution
Authors: Maltseva Kateryna

Stress has been systematically shown to affect health. Social life introduces additional sources of stress, and social stressors emerge as a particular kind of stressors. Living in groups and embedded into their social networks, humans live a complex life based on regular social interactions, elaborate cultural routines and mental life rooted in intersubjectivity, capacity for social learning and affiliative needs. Social Safety Theory and life history orientation approach use this ground to develop an evolutionary-based perspective on life stress and health. While life history orientation framework is already well established in social epidemiology, medical anthropology and sociology, Social Safety Theory is a novel approach building on the psychological ability embedded in human sociality to form and maintain lasting social bonds. It hypothesizes that threats to social safety are a critical feature of psychological stressors that increase risk for disease. By doing so it provides a link between social behavior, psychosocial stress and human health when considered in the light of evolution. Life history orientation approach stems from the evolutionary premises and expands its biologically-grounded reasoning into the realm of psychology as well as health sciences. Among other things, it contributes to sociological frameworks linking the effects of childhood adversity to patterns of disease and social behavior in adult life. Both these frameworks provide important conceptual junctures for the researchers of stress, health and social behavior by developing explanations of different avenues by which our social ecologies affect biological risks.

Burnout among healthcare workers is a challenge for the availability and quality of healthcare services in many countries. Overall, burnout has far-reaching implications on doctors, patients, and the healthcare system. For example, emotionally and physically exhausted workers become less attentive and make mistakes more often. Moreover, contextual features of the healthcare system and the organizational culture of healthcare institutions can contribute to burnout prevention and vice versa. Burnout among healthcare workers also increases the risk of alcohol misuse, sleep disorders, fast food consumption, and the occurrence of obesity.Considering the shortage of standardized tools to measure burnout among medical workers, we aimed to adapt to the Ukrainian context one of the research tools: Maslach Burnout Inventory for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS (MP)). The MBI-HSS (MP) addresses three scales: emotional exhaustion (EE) measures feelings of being emotionally overextended and exhausted by one’s work; depersonalization (DP) measures an unfeeling and impersonal response toward patients; personal accomplishment (PA) measures feelings of competence and achievement in one’s work.From November 2020 – April 2021 we conducted semi-structured interviews and questionnaires among HIV care providers (N = 117). The result revealed that 83.7 % of respondents had high emotional exhaustion, and 58.5 % had high depersonalization. But the dimension of personal achievement level was not indicative of burnout in this component: 45.5 % had a high level of personal achievement. Pre-test and piloting of the Ukrainian version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS (MP)) show the validity of this instrument. In addition, it was found that relationships with colleagues and the management of the healthcare institution were associated with higher rates of burnout among healthcare workers.

The COVID-19 pandemic since 2020 provoked the shift to remote functioning in a range of organizations, causing the change of formal and informal interaction networks in the organizations. The paper outlines the research results of the outcomes of such shift from offline to remote functioning in three student organizations at NaUKMA: “Ta Mohylianka” (TM), “Kyiv Mohyla Moot Court Society” (KMMCS) and “Buddy NaUKMA” (Buddy). The survey data on the network interaction in ТМ and KMMCS were collected in March 2020 before the shift to the remote mode, and after a year another wave was conducted in March 2021 to collect the data from these two organizations and another third organization, Buddy. This enables us to trace the change in informal networks due to the remote mode of communication a year after the pandemic started. As a result, we reveal that the informal interaction and friendship in organizations increased after the shift to remote mode when we focus on the actors who were in the organizations both before and after the pandemic started. Thus, they sustained and strengthened their informal ties that they formed in offline format prior to COVID-19 (this is observed both for TM and KMMCS). However, with new actors joining the organizations in 2021, the average ties strength for friendship networks declined for KMMCS. Moreover, the attribute of faculty that defines the work processes in Buddy caused higher average tie strength for friendship network within a faculty, but much lower between faculties. In contrast, TM as an organization also joins students from all the faculties, but its work processes are not overlapping with the boundaries of one faculty, so the friendship ties formed actively in groups that are heterogeneous by faculty attribute. In addition, we found that the level of integration of actors into the organization informal networks is partly interrelated with how the staff assess the efficiency of communication in the organization. The last outcome requires further checking with alternative tools and a more detailed scale to assess the efficiency of communication in the organization. For practical reasons, this also sheds light on the improvement of organizations functioning when the remote or mixed modes of work are planned to be applied in 2022–2023 academic year due to the wartime in Ukraine.
Arabic Script In Banjarese Ethno-Religious Identity

Language sociologists propose some factors contributing to the choice of a language over the other. These factors include economic, social, political, educational, and demographic factors. Other language scientists mention religious, values and attitudinal factors. What is real choice is there for those who use lesser-used script, such as Arabic script for Malay and Bahasa Indonesia, in a community where most people use a major national script, i.e. Latin script to write their language. How do economic, political, religious, educational, and demographic factors influence the choice of use of script for a language?

Based on the results of the study, on the basis of a systematic approach and referenceparameters, a methodology for the formation of detachments from various machines according totheir functional purpose for performing earthworks was created on the example of using single-bucketloaders. Studies have shown that from an array of homogeneous machines for functional purposes,it is necessary to determine one of them, which is exemplary. The exemplary machine, as shown bythe results of research, is characterized by maximum efficiency and minimum fuel consumption inrelation to its performance and zero relative fuel losses compared to known cars. Such a machine,which is defined as an example, as part of other machines recognized as exemplary, allows you toform a fleet of various machines capable of performing a given amount of work with minimal fuelconsumption and minimal duration of such amount of work.To obtain the results that are described above a number of conditions must be met, whichinclude the following:– each of the machines is treated as a complex technical system using known assumptions;– all technical and economic parameters of such machines are used from known scientificsources or on the basis of their own research;– for all homogeneous machines, it is necessary to determine the indicators in the form of totalefficiency and the value of the specific fuel consumption;– determine, on the basis of this methodology, the amount of fuel saving relative to an exemplaryvehicle, which is accepted as the most efficient and due to which the necessary squad of vehicles isformed.The result of the application of the created technique is the ability to determine the value of therelative fuel economy for the formed detachment of machines. The value of this savings depends onthe duration of the specified volume of work by the formed detachment of machines.
