Diatom valve morphogenesis occurs under the control of microtubules. It is known that γ-tubulin is an important component of the microtubule center, which controls the polymerization of microtubules and provides their nucleation in the cell. In this work, using Aulacoseira islandica as an example, α-tubulin was visualized during valve formation after cytokinesis and during interphase. It was shown that inhibition of γ-tubulin in A. islandica cells causes the formation of valves with an abnormal structure and an increased number of death cells in culture at gatastatin concentrations of 3 and 10 μM, with a threefold decrease in the number of dividing cells. The small number of valves formed under the influence of gatastatin suggests that γ-tubulin activity is required both for the nucleation of microtubules in the cell and for the onset of valve morphogenesis. The results obtained clarify the role of the microtubule center in the morphogenesis of diatom valves.

The paper presents the results of analysis about relationship between climate changes and coastal upwellings in Listvennichny Bay (Southern Baikal) from 1941 to 2023. A decrease in both full and partial upwellings has been shown since the late 1950s. In addition, an increase in the proportion of upwelling events in August compared to other months during 1970-2023 were found. It also showed tendencies for longer upwelling durations and greater temperature drops during upwelling after 1970 compared to the previous period. Inferred from the analysis of the ERA5-Land data, it was determined that the cause of the observed changes was a global course of decreasing wind activity and a particular redistribution of the proportion of northerly and southwesterly winds in the Bay during the study period. Two cases of full and intermittent upwellings were described and compared. Possible ecological impacts on the Listvennichny Bay due to the combined effects of increasing anthropogenic pressure and less frequent upwellings have been hypothesized.

Published: December 2023

The article explores new models of the organization of the economy, called the circular economy – a model of production and consumption aimed at overcoming global challenges, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, waste and environmental pollution. The participants were identified and the forms of participation in the process of achieving the SDGs (sustainable development goals) were defined. It was substantiated that the use of the principles of the UN Global Compact in the practical activities of enterprises should ensure that they comply with their basic duties to people and the planet, and would also create the foundations for long-term success. The types of ESG activity of enterprises were systematized according to certain criteria, followed by their classification and definition of the basic objects to which the ESG activity of the enterprise is directed. The standpoints of classical economics were analyzed, by studying the scientific works of specialists in this field of science. Based on the results of this analysis, it was established that ESG activity is a cost that with a doubtful probability can be compensated in the form of additional income. That is, by default it is a loss-making activity. At least, such a perception of ESG-activity can be when studying the issue superficially. The analysis of academic literature and corporate practice made it possible to highlight the key motives for enterprises to implement ESG activities. A study of ESG activity of Ukrainian enterprises was conducted and it was established that this process in Ukraine is at the stage of formation and the situation in this area has significantly worsened due to the war. According to the results of the study of the theoretical foundations of ESG activity of enterprises, the author’s interpretation of the term «ESG activity» was proposed, which should be understood as all types of enterprise activities aimed at achieving the goals of sustainable development through appropriate management decisions, which include measures to improve the environmental condition, social relations and corporate responsibility.

Employee of any organization starts his/her recognitions from the society that ultimately reach the organization, where he/she earns the livelihood. So, the resiliency of an employee (sales-force of any commercial organization in this study) should be understood on the touch-points of salesemployee with society. On this context, the main purpose of this study is to explore the strategic relationships of social communication, social change, and social engagement of the sales-employees to build the concerned employees’ resiliency. With the descriptive research design, this research-work is intended to study the above said relationship by extensive literature review. Major outcomes of this study refer that social communication in varying level makes the employee of an organization engage with the social activities and simultaneously develop the psychological adjustment of the concerned sales-employee towards social change. Finally, the social engagement and self-accommodation to the social change build the resilient sales-force of the concerned retail organization. A conceptual model is developed that justifies the above outcomes, which is the major contribution or novelty of this study. Thus, the industrial implication of the said outcomes is that any commercial organization should develop the social orientation of their sales-force by developing their social communication continuously, which in turn enables the concerned sales-employees for better adoptability to any social changes, for insulate themselves for adverse social (market) conditions, and for productive social engagement in the marketing orientations. The said causal relationship ultimate give the return to the organization in the form of resilient sales-force. And, social implication refers that the society will be aware of the truth regarding the functioning of sales-functions of organization in the context of social contribution of those organizations.

The article notes that in the context of globalization, multinational corporations exert an increasing influence on the economies of their home countries, host countries, and the overall state of international economic relations. The authors underline that tax planning is one of the TNC activities that grabs attention of the global public in terms of both its favorable and unfavorable effects. The article offers its own definition of the term «tax landscape», in which, unlike the existing ones, vertical, horizontal and temporal aspects are distinguished. The vertical aspect is presented as a synthesis of the supranational level of taxation and the national one; horizontal, as a system of tax rules and laws within a separate state; temporal, as a change in the main elements of taxation over time. It has been proven that at the current stage of formation of tax landscapes to characterize the supranational level, it is necessary to take into account the elements of taxation defined as part of the implementation of the international BEPS project: the global minimum tax, tax rates for surplus profits, and surplus profits as an object of taxation. The authors have been able to divide the studied countries into three groups depending on the level of direct taxation: high (United States, Canada and Australia), moderate (Great Britain, France, Italy, India, Germany and Switzerland), and low (China and Saudi Arabia). The first group (the United States) and the second group (the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy) have been found to have the greatest tax losses as a result of «tax havens.» The level of direct taxation (profit and capital) in the countries of registration and countries of digital presence, the volatility of tax legislation, and compliance with the conditions of tax justice have been proposed as factors of the tax landscape to be taken into account by transnational corporations when developing tax planning strategies.
Quantum Non-separability, Consciousness, Negentropy and a New Concept of Gravity
Authors: Pletcher Arthur
Published: December 2023

This article proposes a novel analogy between the escalating polarization which occurs between rational agents, and the emergence of spacetime in quantum decoherence. The former occurs within a framework of reinforcement loops of recursive information exchange between agents, and escalates to higher scales (local, regional, national, and international) of polarization. The latter occurs within the split consciousness of the single observer. Consequently, particle evolution becomes determined as the particle becomes entangled with the polarized state of the observer and the observer's local environment. A modified Stern Gerlach experimental is proposed as proof. The premise of this analogy is mathematically supported. A radical concept of gravity is a corollary.

Authors: Sithirith Mak
Published: December 2023

Key resources of Tonle Sap Lake are fish, biodiversity and natural resources. Its governance has been casted as a central pillar in the development of Cambodia. Although there are considerable literatures and documents, supporting the protection and conservation of the lake, there are also policies and development frameworks promoting hydropower investments and infrastructure developments, affecting the TSL. Accordingly, this study questions how the water, fishery, and biodiversity and infrastructure developments are embedded in the conservation and developments of TSL. In answering this question, the study conducts the literature reviews and case studies in the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserves, employing the political ecology approach.  It concludes that TSL is food producing engines of Cambodia, the heartbeats of the Mekong River Basin, and a global biodiversity hotspot. The protection and conservation of the lake bring benefits to all at national, regional and global levels, but the complex interplay of actors, arranged at various scales and levels, has collectively created the challenges facing the lake, giving rise to confrontation between the conservation and hydropower, questions about the long-term sustainability of its resources and the livelihoods that depend upon it.

Published: December 2023

This article explores the possibilities of using sustainable development to improve the enterprise's financial results, namely, the reduction of operating expenses. The authors highlight that many Ukrainian companies have not yet adopted such practices, citing concerns over financial burdens and time constraints. Nonetheless, sustainable development initiatives can confer powerful competitive advantages, especially during the current crisis in Ukraine. Therefore, the authors recommend that young enterprises and those striving to maintain profitability during wartime conditions consider implementing sustainable development measures as a means of cost reduction. To this end, the article proposes a specific sequence of actions. The first stage involves identifying areas within the value chain where costs can be reduced. The second stage is creating a list of measures deemed practical and timely by management. Finally, the authors have developed a matrix to prioritize measures that ensure sustainable development and cost savings. This matrix helps place measures according to three criteria (labor intensity, volume of financial costs, significance of impact on sustainable development) into four quadrants: immediate implementation, short-term planning, expansion of work duties, and operating debt. Also, the authors emphasize that thanks to the implementation of measures to ensure sustainable development, entrepreneurs can receive additional benefits in the form of SDI or ESG investments, providing timely reporting on the metrics of the components of sustainable development.

Authors:   “Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic” National university, Levchenko N. M. , Pavlov К. D. ,   “Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic” National university
Published: December 2023

The article states that during the years of independence, the energy sector has gone through a thorny path of trial and error, since at the initial stages of its formation, Ukrainian energy enterprises did not have sufficient knowledge and practical skills in managing financial sustainability. Today, their experience is much more extensive, enriched by new knowledge and approaches. However, in terms of financial sustainability management, they still cannot compete with energy companies in Western countries, where such management has been carried out for decades and in an interactive mode according to the concept of “dual materiality” – a symbiosis of financial materiality and sustainability. It is emphasised that financial materiality is a qualitative characteristic of the financial condition of enterprises and, of course, one of the main components of their economic security. Its research and operational management is carried out in an interactive mode, and the experience in digital structuring of reporting data is of some value for Ukrainian enterprises. It is emphasised that Ukraine still does not have a national Taxonomy for digital structuring of enterprise reporting data by “double materiality”, and the implementation of the EU Taxonomy in the national practice requires some time to implement it, so in order to promptly manage threats to the financial stability of enterprises, it is advisable, first of all, to modify the methodology for their rating assessment. Based on the requests of stakeholders, the methodology for rating threats to the financial sustainability of energy sector enterprises has been modified. The results of testing the proposed methodological approach to assessing threats to the financial stability of energy enterprises, based on the materials of leading energy companies in Ukraine, are highlighted. The levels of financial threats, existing problems and their scale, as well as the possibility of minimising their impact on the financial condition of enterprises are determined. It is substantiated that the application by enterprises of the proposed methodological approach to assessing threats to financial stability will allow to specify measures aimed at ensuring the management of their financially sustainable development at the operational, tactical and strategic levels.

Метою дослідження є аналіз практики нормативного регламентування цільової спрямованості державного фінансового аудиту місцевих бюджетів як виду державного фінансового контролю, її впливу на результати його проведення та розробка напрямків удосконалення. Аналіз нормативного регламентування проведення Державною аудиторською службою державного фінансового аудиту місцевих бюджетів дозволив виокремити такі тенденції зміни його мети та завдань: розширення об’єкту з «виконання місцевих бюджетів» на об’єкт «місцеві бюджети» в цілому, тобто на весь процес формування та виконання місцевих бюджетів; узгодження завдань та мети. Обґрунтовано, що відсутність прив’язки окремих об’єктів до цільових критеріїв не дозволяє чітко визначати цільову спрямованість і процедури в рамках державного місцевого аудиту. Доведено необхідність трансформації мети та завдань державного фінансового аудиту шляхом доповнення їх цільовими критеріями щодо усіх об’єктів аудиту. Визначено, що в якості цільових критеріїв доцільно використовувати складові принципу надійного фінансового управління та продуктивності: ефективність, економічність, обґрунтованість, законність, достовірність, результативність. Обґрунтовано необхідність запровадження державного фінансового аудиту процесів планування та прогнозування місцевих бюджетів в рамках попереднього оцінювання, що відповідатиме міжнародній практиці. Констатовано цінність постаудиторського моніторингу (follow-up) у забезпеченні ефективності процесу державного фінансового аудиту місцевих бюджетів. Доведено необхідність вдосконалення підходу щодо коректного формулювання рекомендацій, виходячи з владних повноважень та можливостей органів місцевого самоврядування, використовуючи принцип Smart-підходу, а також забезпечення принципу прозорості та публічності під час роботи над результатами звітів з державного фінансового аудиту місцевих бюджетів. Перспективами подальших досліджень є поглиблення методичних підходів до формування рекомендацій за результатами проведення державного фінансового аудиту місцевих бюджетів як в рамках попередніх оцінок (планування та прогнозування), так і в рамках ретроспективного оцінювання (виконання місцевих бюджетів).
Study of Wheat Grain Structure by Digital Radiography
Authors: Antonov R. Yu.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Analysis of the quality of wheat grain using instrumental methods is an important task due to the permanent growth in annual wheat production and export. Digital radiography is a promising method for studying the internal structure of wheat grain. Along with other methods, digital radiography allows non-destructive testing and comprehensive description of grain parameters.

Aim. To determine the capabilities of digital radiography for studying the structure of wheat grain.

Materials and methods. Digital X-ray images were obtained using a multifunctional mobile x-ray diagnostic unit produced by JSC "ELTECH-Med" was used with the installation tube voltage of 9 kV. Durum wheat grain samples of different varieties were used. Operations for processing grain images were automated using the scripts developed in Python using the numpy and opencv libraries.

Results. The attenuation of X-ray radiation by grain material was studied. Wheat bran was found to exhibit a greater attenuation coefficient than the endosperm, assumably due to the higher concentration of potassium and phosphorus in the wheat outer layer. The calculated ratio of the attenuation coefficients of the bran to the endosperm was 1.27, compared to the experimentally obtained value of 1.36. The influence of the geometric shape of wheat grain on the formation of its X-ray image was determined. A method for describing the geometric shape of wheat grain using second-order curves was presented. A mathematical model for the transmission of X-ray radiation in wheat grain was constructed, taking into account its complex shape and the heterogeneous distribution of macroelements therein. This model allows estimation of the attenuation coefficients of the grain endosperm and outer layer using a non-destructive method.

Conclusion. Digital radiography is an effective method for studying wheat when carrying out research and breeding tasks. The proposed model for the transmission of X-ray radiation in wheat grain can be used to numerically determine some indicators of grain quality.

Authors: Plotnitskaya E. C. , Heister S. R. , Veremyev V. I.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The distinction of targets located in the same spatial resolution cell of a radar system includes the determination of the number of targets and their recognition. Recognition and distinction are directly related to the analysis of radar profiles (spectral, range, azimuth, etc.). Radar images of rotating drone elements obtained with the method of inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) present particular interest. Such profiles are highly informative in terms of defining the drone design characteristics. When developing algorithms for constructing radar profiles of drone propellers based on ISAR, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the movements of various points on the propeller blade surfaces. This understanding can be achieved by constructing a mathematical model for a signal reflected from drone propellers.

Aim. To develop a mathematical model for a signal reflected from drone propellers in application to the method of ISAR in bistatic radar.

Materials and methods. In the model under consideration, the propeller blade is represented by a set of point reflectors located along two lines passing through the front and rear edges of the blade. When developing the reflected signal model, variation in the phase structure of the reflected signal arising due to the translational motion of the drone and the rotation of its propeller blades, as well as their offset in space.

Results. A mathematical model for a signal reflected from drone propellers in application to the method of ISAR in bistatic radar was developed. Signals reflected from one propeller blade, from one propeller, and from a set of drone propellers were simulated. The temporal and spectral structures of the reflected signals for two variants of blade representation were analyzed.

Conclusion. The developed mathematical model can be used when developing an algorithm for constructing images of drone propellers by the method of inverse synthetic aperture radar in a bistatic radar system.

Published: December 2023

The article presents the content of the programmatic and methodological complex of speech therapy support for young children with cerebral palsy. A systematic theoretical-empirical analysis of the state of speech therapy support for young children with cerebral palsy in Ukraine was carried out. Modern data as a result of an in-depth study of the state of speech therapy support for a young child with cerebral palsy confirm the significant problems of organizing and providing support for these children. Children with cerebral palsy are unequivocally children of the "logopedic risk group" who need immediate inclusion in the process of speech support and coordination of each child and his family, without losing the potential of an early age. We believe that the organization of speech therapy support for a young child with cerebral palsy can ensure the needs of such a child for maximum development and soft speech integration in the conditions of the modern educational space of Ukraine. A new design of speech therapy support for children with cerebral palsy is presented. We deepened the concept of support, taking into account the multifactorial nature of cerebral palsy and taking into account the peculiarities of the child's development at an early age. In the article, we present and define the main directions of the programmatic and methodological complex of speech therapy support for young children with cerebral palsy and their content. The algorithm and conditions of speech therapy support (complex diagnosis, spatial speech therapy, interdisciplinary team) of the specified category of children are presented.

Over the past 30 years, multiple episodes of sharp temperature fluctuations have been observed in southern Russia, which ad-versely affected the stress load of cultivat-ed plants, contributed to increased tissue damage and the risk of their complete death. In the Krasnodar Territory, regularly repeated temperature drops in winter, typi-cal for the continental climate zone, cause significant economic damage to the viticul-ture industry. Abnormal manifestations re-sult in local and systemic losses. Local con-sequences − damage to the vegetative and generative organs of grape plants, up to the complete death of plantings. Thus, the search for physiologically active substances that are potentially capable of neutralizing the effects of low-temperature stress is an important task in agriculture. The article considers the influence of various physio-logically active substances on the change in damage to the tissues of the grape vine.

Authors:   Ufa State Petroleum Technological University, Dolomatov M. Yu.
Published: December 2023

The regularities of thermolysis and carbonation processes in complex hydrocarbon systems - oil refining products and their fractions are generalized. It is shown that in hydrocarbon systems, due to the Bernoulli and Gaussian distribution of composition by thermodynamic functions and activation energies, processes of self-reproducibility of hydrocarbon homologues take place.It is shown that the processes of thermolysis and carbonation are determined by the collective interaction of moleculesof statistical and thermodynamic nature. These interactions contribute to deviations from the law of acting masses, cause the kinetic compensation effect of thermolysis, as well as the dependence of carbon yield on the activation energy of the viscous flowand the average electrodonor characteristics of the medium components. The discovered patterns have been confirmed by experiments and can be used in calculations and optimization of the processes of petrochemicals.

Ideally, a statistical population is the same as, or accurately represents its corresponding biological population. However, in practice, they rarely align in space and time, which can lead to variable exposure to sampling and biased inference. We often view a population mismatch as a temporary emigration process and resolve it with replicate and/or repeat sampling, though this approach is not feasible for all species and habitats. We developed a hierarchical Bayesian integrated model to estimate abundance of a biological population of the Kittlitz’s murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris), a highly mobile, non-territorial, ice-associated seabird of conservation concern in Alaska and eastern Russia. Our model combines datasets from boat and telemetry surveys to account for all components of detection probability, specifically using telemetry locations to estimate probability of presence (pp) and line transect distance sampling to estimate probability of detection (pd). By estimating pp directly, we were able to account for temporary emigration from the sampled area, which changed with shifting icefloes between sampling occasions. Between 2007 and 2012, annual pp was highly variable, ranging from 0.33 to 0.75 (median=0.50, SE=0.02), but was not predictable using five environmental covariates. In years when two boat surveys were conducted, our model reduced the coefficient of variation (CV) of abundance estimates by 13–35%, yet in the year with only one boat survey (2009), the CV skyrocketed about 10-fold, emphasizing the importance of a second survey if pp varies. Although we increased the precision of annual abundance estimates by accounting for pp, we did not see the same improvement in the estimate of mean r, or trend, indicating that while we reduced within-year variance, we failed to account for a source(s) of variation across years, which we suspect is related to the propensity for murrelets to skip breeding in some years. Our integrated model to resolve a population mismatch is simple, flexible, and scalable for generating unbiased and precise abundance estimates of highly mobile species that occupy dynamic habitats where other open population models are not feasible. Importantly, it improves inference of the biological population, which is the true population of interest. We urge ecologists to think critically about the population in which they want to draw inference, especially as tracking technology improves and model complexity increases.
La historia oral como herramienta para la educación popular: una experiencia de trabajo en una comunidad rural en Tlaxcala (2015-2017)

Published: December 2023

En el presente trabajo se abona a la reflexión sobre el uso de la historia oral como una herramienta para la educación popular. Consideramos que este uso permitiría ampliar el campo de aplicación de la historia oral, más allá de la investigación histórica-académica, en este caso particular, las posibilidades de llevar dicha metodología a la práctica de la educación popular en comunidades rurales. Dicha reflexión proviene de una experiencia de trabajo en comunidades rurales durante dos campañas de alfabetización y educación popular con jóvenes y adultos, realizadas en la comunidad de El Rosario, municipio de Tlaxco, Tlaxcala, México, entre los años 2015 y 2017. Una parte fundamental del trabajo de estas campañas es la generación de espacios educativos, talleres y trabajo comunitario conforme a los intereses y necesidades particulares de las comunidades. Los espacios educativos están planeados para personas adultas y se abordan distintos temas, desde la alfabetización hasta contenidos de nivel primaria y secundaria. Entre los talleres comunitarios impartidos figuró el “Taller de Historia Oral”.
Confesiones de una aprendiz. Venturas y desventuras con la historia oral
Authors:   Universidad de Guanajuato, México, Cervera Delgado Cirila
Published: December 2023

La oportunidad de escribir este capítulo me significó un ejercicio de recordación de los poco más de quince años en los que he intentado hacer investigación educativa mediante la historia oral, particularmente en el terreno de la historia de la educación de mediados del siglo XX y, de un modo en particular, de la historia de la educación de mujeres, en la cual he destacado la historia de maestras. El camino recorrido da cuenta de aciertos y desaciertos (venturas y desventuras) en los trabajos que he elaborado. Como cualquier otra opción metodológica, la historia oral tiene fortalezas y debilidades, como bien asientan los manuales de la investigación social y educativa. Por tanto, no es novedoso lo que escribo ahora, salvo porque lo hago desde la recuperación de mi experiencia, como advertencia para evitar, en lo posible, tropezar con la misma piedra en los senderos por des- cubrir o construir en la investigación educativa.
Escuchar a los que no fueron escuchados. El uso de la historia oral en un estudio sobre jóvenes rebeldes sesenteros

¿Hice “historia oral” en mi tesis de maestría en los años ochenta sin tener mucha conciencia de ello? Realicé más de 20 entrevistas a profesores, campesinos y líderes obreros que vivieron y participaron a favor y en contra de las reformas sociales del presidente Lázaro Cárdenas, entre 1934 y 1940. Recuerdo haber conversado largas horas con ellos y retomar, al final, tan solo algunos fragmentos de sus opiniones y experiencias ocurridas durante aquellos años. Aún tengo una grata sensación del impacto afectivo que me provocó escuchar historias intensas de vida, en las que hubo muchas dificultades pero también muchos logros y satisfacciones. Algunas de estas entrevistas se hicieron a profundidad, pero mucho material ya no fue usado en el reporte final de la tesis. Allí quedó para usarlo posteriormente en algunos artículos que nunca se escribieron.
The Impact of Board of Directors' Independence on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure in Palestinian Companies

Published: December 2023

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a comprehensive approach of the company that determines the amount of the organisation's contribution to society and the use of its available resources in a responsible manner. Previous statistics have shown that the contributions of Palestinian companies towards social issues are still limited, and corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) is at a low level. This paper aims to examine the level of CSRD of Palestinian companies and to examine the relationship of   board of directors’ (BOD) independence on CSRD. The study employs OLS linear regression analysis to analysis of data using a sample of 31 companies listed on the Palestine Stock Exchange (PSE) during the period from 2012 to 2021. The theoretical framework of agency theory will be adopted to comprehend the relationship between the variables under investigation. The findings reveal that the level of CSR disclosure  in Palestinian companies included in the sample of study is 29.5%.The results of the study also, indicated that the   positive and significant relationship between BOD independence and CSRD.
