INTRODUCTION: The therapeutic applications of honey products have been extensively studied, but the various combination of honeys as a high-antioxidant product has not been explored. This study aimed to develop an optimized three honey formulation (Trihoney) with maximal antioxidant potency and physicochemical characteristics, as well as favourable among panellists. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The three types of honey studied are; i) Trigona sp. honey (TH), ii) Apis mellifera honey (MH), and iii) Apis dorsata honey (DH). Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to design optimal Trihoney formulation for i) total phenolic content (TPC), ii) ferric-reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), and iii) 2,2’-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Proximate and nutrient analyses, such as moisture, protein, fibre, carbohydrate, sugar, and gross energy were also conducted. Additionally, sensory evaluation was carried out to support the findings. RESULTS: Based on RSM, three optimal Trihoney formulation were developed; i) Trihoney 1 (MH15:DH10:TH45), ii) Trihoney 2 (MH15:DH10:TH25), and iii) Trihoney 3 (MH15:DH10:TH15). Trihoney 1 was the most promising formulation, exhibiting the highest TPC (0.50 mg/GAE/g), remarkable values of FRAP (230.85 AAE/g) and DPPH (86.32%). Physicochemical and sugar analysis indicated that all values complied with permitted quality standards. MH received the highest overall acceptability scores based on sensory evaluation. CONCLUSION: These findings warrant further extensive investigation of Trihoney formulation in animal studies to support its efficacy as a valuable food supplement.

Published: July 2024

This article reflects the results of studies of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophylls a, b and carotenoids) in 14 species of deciduous plants (trees and shrubs) and one coniferous Juniperus sabina L. in the Altai Botanical Garden during two growing seasons. The following species have a high accumulation of pigments: Acer ta-taricum L., Juglans cinerea L., Tilia cordata L., Corylus avellana L., Cotoneaster lucidus Schlecht., Lonicera tatarica L. For the coniferous species Juniperus sabina L. low levels of chlorophylls a, b and carotenoids are characteristic. Berberis thunbergii DC is also distinguished by a low accumulation of photosynthetic pigments. Minor differences between the species were noted in the content of carotenoids, twelve species were included in the group with low and medium content of this pigment. There is no definite pattern in the accumulation of carotenoids, and the data on the types and number of yellow pigments do not differ significantly. As a result of the conducted studies, a correlation was revealed between the content of carotenoids and the content of chlorophyll a in most species. The data obtained indicate the presence of species specificity in the content of chlorophylls a, b and carotenoids. Also, the photosynthetic apparatus of woody plants is sensitive to light and water conditions.

STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF THE FORMATION OF TWO-PHASE CERAMICS BASED ON NEODYMIUM ZIRCONATE DUE TO DOPING WITH MGO AND Y2O5 ON THE STABILITY OF STRENGTH AND THERMOPHYSICAL PARAMETERS UNDER IRRADIATION
Authors: Kozlovskiy A.L. ,   Engineering Profile Laboratory, L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Astana, Kazakhstan
Published: July 2024

The work presents the study results of the determination of the resistance of neodymium zirconate doped with MgO and Y2O5 to radiation damage stemming from irradiation with heavy ions akin to nuclear fuel fission fragments. The attraction towards this type of ceramics stems from its potential to raise the operational temperatures within the core of next-generation nuclear reactors. This is owed to its superior thermal conductivity when compared to zirconium dioxide, coupled with the heightened strength parameters that signify the ceramics' resistance against external factors. The main results of this study are to determine the influence of the formation of substitution or interstitial phases when adding magnesium and yttrium oxides to the composition, on increasing the stability of the strength and thermophysical parameters of neodymium zirconate to the radiation defects accumulation in the damaged surface layer. During the studies, it was found that the formation of impurity phases in the form of MgO inclusions (when it is added to the composition) and a substitution phase of the Y2Zr2O7 type (with the addition of Y2O5) results in an elevation in the hardness and crack resistance stability of neodymium zirconate ceramics, which indicates the positive effect of doping linked to the formation of additional interphase boundaries that prevent strain embrittlement of the damaged layer under high-dose irradiation. During determination of the thermophysical parameters of the studied neodymium zirconate ceramics, it was observed that the formation of interphase boundaries during doping not only enhances thermal conductivity but also mitigates the decline in the thermal conductivity coefficient during irradiation for two-phase ceramics in comparison with undoped neodymium zirconate ceramics.

Відображення кризи радянського гендерного проєкту в українському кінематографі 1980-х років (на прикладі художнього образу батька)
Authors: Никоненко Володимир
Published: July 2024

Мета статті – окреслити та проаналізувати особливості художніх інтерпретацій образу батька в українському кіномистецтві 1980-х років. Особлива увага приділяється тим соціокультурним чинникам, що вплинули на тенденції кінематографічних трактувань батьківського персонажа в досліджуваний період.
Результати дослідження. У колективному позасвідомому людства батьківський архетип постає репрезентантом основ суспільного устрою та слугує символічним регулятором морально-ціннісної ієрархічної системи. Тому значущі зміни в соціально-політичному житті країни зазвичай простежуються в мистецтві, зокрема в кіно, через трансформацію інтерпретацій образу батька. У статті на прикладі окремих українських кінокартин розглянуто, як явні ознаки духовно-моральної кризи радянського суспільства 1980-х років позначалися на способах екранних інтерпретацій архетипічного образу батька. З’ясовано, як девальвація пізньорадянської державної системи влади метафорично осмислювалася кіномитцями через сюжети з батьківськими персонажами, позбавленими своїх одвічних патріархальних функцій – авторитетності та владності. Розглянуто кінокартини, основна проблематика яких вибудовувалася навколо втрати дітьми довіри до своїх батьків. Зазначено, що така тенденційна колізія могла бути пов’язаною як з процессом кардинального переосмислення українським суспільством минулих історичних періодів СРСР, так і з переглядом легітимності радянської державної системи.
Наукова новизна статті полягає в тому, що вперше розглянуто розвиток художнього образу батька в українському кінематографі 1980-х років з урахуванням соціокультурного аспекту окресленої проблеми.
Висновки. Результати дослідження підтверджують, що сутнісна характеристика художнього образу батька в українському кіномистецтві періоду «перебудови» залежала від низки соціально-політичних чинників і була часто зумовлена суспільними передбаченнями скорого краху СРСР.
Передумови появи Street Style у контексті субкультурного руху в США та Великобританії в другій половині ХХ століття

Published: July 2024

Мета статті – виявити та узагальнити передумови появи Street Style у контексті субкультурного руху в США та Великобританії в другій половині ХХ ст.
Результати дослідження. Наголошено на потребі системних досліджень Street Style усупереч поширеному уявленню про буденність, тривіальність і надмірну прикладну спрямованість цього об’єкта культури. Розкрито передумови виникнення молодіжних субкультур у повоєнні й подальші десятиліття, що стало поштовхом для появи Street Style як поєднання різних стилів, як поєднання вуличної моди та індивідуальності. Описано суть найбільш поширених і впливових у другій половині ХХ ст. молодіжних субкультур, ідеологія й культурно-мистецькі уподобання яких визначили стиль одягу їхніх представників.
Наукова новизна і практичне значення полягає у введенні в науковий обіг нових даних про передумови появи Street Style у контексті субкультурного руху в США та Великобританії в другій половині ХХ ст. Зокрема, конкретизовано значення для формування Street Style молодіжних субкультур, описано стиль одягу їхніх представників, простежено відображення цих стилів у сучасній моді.
Висновки. З’ясовано, що субкультури другої половини ХХ ст. – це прагнення до свободи, розваг та самовираження, культурний активізм і бунт проти «правильного» світу, а також це унікальний стиль одягу, який став ознакою взаємного визнання. Мода на Street Style була популяризована через хіп-хоп, скейтбординг та інші субкультури, одяг представників яких, підібраний за певним принципом, став найпоширенішим візуальним символом, ідентифікатором індивіда зі своєю групою та позначенням дистанції між іншими суспільними групами та субкультурами. Протягом кількох післявоєнних десятиліть сформувалися певні художні образи субкультур, створені на основі філософських ідей, танцювальних чи спортивних захоплень і спонукані новими музичними ритмами. Виявлено, що вулична мода стала оптимальним полем для експериментів, де виникали нові стилі на основі спонтанного поєднання різних видів одягу, аксесуарів та взуття, що й призвело до утворення Street Style – по суті дифузного стилю як змішування різноманітних, на перший погляд, непоєднуваних стилів. Встановлено, що завдяки субкультурам та їхнім стилям в одязі окремі його предмети (футболка, джинси, куртка «косуха») пережили чергове «народження» й набули масової популярності, а сучасні дизайнери й навіть музиканти в пошуках нових джерел натхнення постійно звертаються до образів молодіжних рухів і Street Style.

Published: July 2024

In response to the problem of large errors and poor real-time performance in career path decision-making for college students, this article has adopted the Deep Q-Network (DQN) model to study the optimization of career paths for college students. Firstly, the background data of college students is preprocessed. For the DQN model, experience replay was used to store and reuse historical interactive data to reduce errors. Then, a target network was introduced to estimate the target Q value to improve the efficiency of sparse data utilization, and appropriate reward functions were designed to quantify the quality of each decision step. Finally, by comparing the performance of different path optimization strategies, the experimental results showed that the decision efficiency of the DQN model reached 98.2%, which was 3.3% higher than that of the convolutional neural network (CNN), and its response speed was only 42.5ms to meet real-time requirements, with the root mean squared error of only 0.02. This has achieved precise decision-making suggestions and good real-time performance, which has a good guiding effect on college students’ career planning.

Published: July 2024

The number of male kindergarten teachers is significantly lower than that of female kindergarten teachers, despite the fact that male teachers are paternal figures who will contribute to the development of students at school. This research aimed to determine the description of meaningful work among male kindergarten teachers. The subjects of this research were three male kindergarten class teachers with different work experiences. A qualitative approach with a case study design was used in this study. The data were obtained through interviews and analyzed from transcribing to interpreting the data. The research findings stated that all the main subjects had different images regarding how each felt their work was meaningful, especially in the aspect of psychological meaningfulness in work. In the aspect of meaning-making through work, all subjects could understand what could improve their qualities and how to understand themselves and their environment. Lastly, in the aspect of greater good motivations, each subject wanted to be helpful to the school stakeholders or even the family of themselves. This research concluded that the three main subjects generally had different images in making their work as kindergarten teachers meaningful. The research implications are that male kindergarten teachers hopefully can improve their performance, early childhood education units are expected to socialize with the public about the presence of male teachers in kindergartens, and the government is also expected to give more appreciation to kindergarten teachers.
Reorganisation of a legal entity: the essence and understanding of its manifestation (creation or termination)
Authors: Stupak T. S.
Published: July 2024

The problematic issues related to the legislator’s priority task of regulating changes in the property status of a legal entity in the course of its reorganisation are outlined, which ensures the organisational and legal transformation of the organisation through effective redistribution of resources and enhancing the modernisation of the country’s economic stability as a whole.
The current state of the legal doctrine of understanding reorganisation as a legal phenomenon has no common denominator. It is studied as a method of termination of a legal entity; a method of emergence and/or termination of a legal entity(ies); a special procedure for the transfer of rights and obligations; a type of universal succession; a legal remedy; the procedural aspect of reorganisation actions is studied, pointing to the process, composition or set of legal facts, or it is proposed to abandon attempts to define the category of “reorganisation” altogether.
Based on the analysis of the legal doctrine and current legislation, the conclusion that reorganisation is a special mechanism of transformation of a legal entity, which is manifested in a complex legal structure aimed at achieving a positive economic effect or bringing it into compliance with current legislation, resulting in termination and/or establishment of a new legal entity(ies) with the transfer to it of the property (or part thereof) of the legal entity being reorganised by way of legal succession, has been made. The opinion that an unambiguous statement that reorganisation is a form of either creation or termination of a legal entity is erroneous has been presented. This conclusion is based on the fact that current legislation enshrines different denominators for certain types of reorganisation – termination/establishment, but the relevant legal phenomenon should be studied comprehensively (as a whole). In this case, one section of such a legal structure will indicate the creation and the other one will indicate the termination of a legal entity, which is manifested within the reorganisation procedure of one organisation.

Published: July 2024

The article focuses on the fact that the creation of the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine was an important step towards ensuring the high-quality and efficient functioning of the entire law enforcement sector of our country, as well as the establishment of the rule of law and legality. It is argued that in the current context, the State Bureau of Investigation is beginning to play an increasingly important role in ensuring the proper functioning of all other state institutions. It is emphasised that the work of the State Bureau of Investigation directly depends on the quality and effectiveness of the powers of its territorial offices.
Based on the analysis of scientific views of scholars, it is noted that powers are a legally established scope of the rights and obligations which allows to implement the tasks and functions of the territorial offices of the State Bureau of Investigation to the fullest extent and with maximum efficiency. It is stated that these powers are exercised both by the central office of the State Bureau of Investigation and by the territorial departments; the factor determining the scope of application of the powers is the competence of these entities, including the territories covered by their activities. It is determined that the powers are aimed at protecting the legitimate interests of SBI employees in a fair assessment of their service, career and professional growth, and the absence of obstacles to their professional activities. 
It is argued that the powers of the territorial offices of the State Bureau of Investigation should be divided into two large groups: a) according to the subject to whom the powers belong such as: the head, investigators, employees of operational units, employees of auxiliary units (e.g., personnel, financial and economic); b) according to the orientation 1) on the direct implementation of the SBI’s tasks (rule-making, personnel and organisational, information and analytical, pre-trial investigation and operational search activities, methodological, protection of public property interests, in the field of cooperation); 2) related to the organisation of effective performance of the above powers (careful treatment of property, ethical behaviour, etc.)
Improvement of the conceptual principles of activity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine as a subject of the formation and development of the internal security environment of the state
Authors: Buhaichuk K. L.
Published: July 2024

The publication explores a new method of assessing the security environment based on indicators developed and approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. A SWOT analysis of the current state of the MIA system was conducted, on the basis of which its strengths and weaknesses have been identified, as well as possible external opportunities for development and the threats that accompany them.
It has been emphasized that the activity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the direction of the formation and development of the security environment is limited only to the definition and description of the indicators of this environment. At the same time, it has been concluded that such an assessment should lead to the adoption of appropriate regulatory and organizational measures, which, taking into account the challenges caused by the aggression of the occupying country, should be implemented in all bodies and units of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
It has been noted that in modern conditions it is necessary to pay attention to the strategic directions of the development of the MIA system and the introduction of the best foreign practices of law enforcement into its activities, as well as directions related to military affairs and issues of civil protection of the population. It is also appropriate to work out the issue of defining key criteria and performance indicators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs system regarding the formation and development of the internal security environment.
On the basis of the conducted scientific analysis of existing security threats, taking into account the latest changes in the current legislation of Ukraine, key directions for improving the conceptual foundations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine as a subject of the formation and development of the internal security environment of the state have been developed.

Published: July 2024

The article examines the process of reforming the law enforcement system in Ukraine, in particular the creation of the National Police in 2015, and its impact on the rank system of police officers. Special attention is paid to the main changes that occurred as a result of this reform. In particular, such positive aspects as bringing police standards closer to the European level, as well as creating a new police uniform and changing the rank system are highlighted. It is important to note that the reform is aimed at improving the efficiency of law enforcement agencies and their interaction with the public. The article also highlights the problem of the lack of additional ranks and limited career opportunities for junior police officers, which can lead to professional burnout and reduced staff motivation.
An analysis of the positive experience of using the extended rank of junior and sergeant ranks in countries such as Canada, Germany, Greece, Spain, as well as the states of Virginia and Delaware in the USA is conducted. The proposed ways of solving the shortcomings in the rank system are aimed at improving the working conditions and motivation of the police personnel. In addition, it is proposed to introduce new ranks for junior and non-commissioned officers of the police in order to stimulate further self-development of professional skills and career growth prospects. In addition, each new rank will have separate duties and functions that will facilitate mutual assistance and cooperation with other police officers. It is also important to emphasise the need to update the design for cadets of higher education institutions with specific learning conditions and lyceums.

Published: July 2024

The article examines the theoretical and applied foundations for the economic evaluation of natural gas quality characteristics, significantly impacting its efficient utilization and cost for consumers. The relevance stems from natural gas's importance as an energy source. The authors analyze classical (comparative price method, cost analysis) and modern (risk analysis, economic-mathematical modeling) methods for assessing gas quality. Key influencing factors are identified: competition level, government regulation, gas usage type, and technological equipment level. The principles outlined include determining quality indicators and their interrelationships; the impact of characteristics on efficiency across industries; evaluation methods considering extraction, transportation, and processing costs; pricing scenario modeling; and analysis of regulation and market mechanisms. The necessity of an integrated approach for decision-making regarding efficient use of varying gas qualities is substantiated. Emphasis is placed on analyzing quality indicators (calorific value, density, Wobbe index, component content) and their interrelationships based on real data. Investigating the impact of characteristics on the efficiency of use in industry, energy, and the municipal sector is crucial. Calculating the economic efficiency of using varying quality gas in these sectors, considering preparation, transportation, and processing costs, is essential. The development of methodological approaches for the economic evaluation of quality indicators, considering extraction, transportation, and processing costs, is underscored. Modeling pricing scenarios for varying quality gas and assessing the impact on consumer costs is vital. Building economic-mathematical models for demand/supply forecasting and simulating market operation with different pricing schemes is recommended. The analysis of the impact of changing quality parameters on consumer costs due to changes in extraction, transportation, and gas preparation is emphasized. The analysis of regulation and market pricing mechanisms for varying quality gas is highlighted. Developing recommendations for authorities, companies, and enterprises to optimize the use of varying quality gas for maximum efficiency and cost reduction is important. A comprehensive approach combining theoretical developments and applied research will form the foundation for management decisions on the efficient use of varying gas qualities.
ВПЛИВ ЛІСОНАСАДЖЕНЬ ROBINIA PSEUDOACACIA L. ТА QUERCUS ROBUR L. НА СКЛАД ТА ВОДОСТІЙКІСТЬ АГРЕГАТІВ ЧОРНОЗЕМІВ ПІВДЕННИХ

Published: July 2024

Наведено результати дослідження впливу лісових насаджень на структурно-агрегатний склад чорноземів південних. Ґрунтові зразки відібрано з зональних чорноземів південних, а також чорноземів південних під насадженнями R. pseudoacacia та Q. robur, поблизу м. Зеленодольська (Криворізький р-н, Дніпропетровська обл.). Вивчення складу та водостійкості агрегатів чорноземів південних під різними типами рослинності виконували за методом М.І. Савинова, використовуючи фракціонування ґрунту у повітряно-сухому стані та у воді. Зростання насаджень R. pseudoacacia та Q. robur на чорноземах південних призвело до збільшення в них вмісту агрегатів фракцій 5–7, 3–5, 2–3 мм та зменшення вмісту агрегатів фракцій 0,5–1, 0,25–0,5 та <0,25 мм порівняно з зональним чорноземом південним. Встановлено, що вплив насадження R. pseudoacacia на зміни вмісту в чорноземах південних агрегатів фракцій 7–10, 5–7, 2–3 та <0,25 мм відрізняється від впливу насадження Q. robur. За розміром виділено 3 споріднені групи агрегатів: більше 5 мм, від 2 до 5 мм та менше 2 мм. Вплив насаджень на чорноземи південні зумовив збільшення в них вмісту водостійких агрегатів фракцій 2–3, 1–2 та 0,5–1 мм та одночасне зменшення вмісту водостійких агрегатів фракції <0,25 мм порівняно з зональними чорноземами південними. Встановлена спорідненість водостійких агрегатів фракцій від 1 до >5 мм в чорноземах південних під степовою рослинністю та насадженням R. pseudoacacia та їх відмінність від подібних фракцій в чорноземі південному під насадженням Q. robur. Водостійкі агрегати фракцій від <0,25 до 1 мм в чорноземах південних є спорідненими незалежно від типу рослинності, яка зростає на них. Найбільш значні зміни в структурно-агрегатному складі чорноземів південних, які викликані зростанням лісових насаджень, властиві їхнім верхнім генетичним горизонтам Н1. Отримані результати досліджень свідчать, що насадження Q. robur характеризується більш вираженим позитивним впливом на склад та водостійкість чорноземів південних порівняно з насадженням R. pseudoacacia. Виявлені особливості структурно-агрегатного складу чорноземів південних та його зміни під впливом лісових насаджень в умовах степової зони України можуть бути використанні при розробці практичних заходів щодо збереження та відновлення родючості та екологічного стану цих ґрунтів.

Dementia is a condition characterized by significant impairment in at least one domain of cognition, including executive function, complex attention, language, learning, memory, perceptual-motor, or social cognition. Risk factors for vascular dementia include smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, obesity, and lack of exercise. This study aims to examine the relationship between metabolic disorders and dementia in the elderly. The design of this research was cross-sectional at the Hana Nursing Home in January 2024, with inclusion criteria in the form of an elderly group of at least 60 years. The independent variables in this study were blood pressure, hemoglobin, hematocrit, body mass index, cholesterol, uric acid, and random blood sugar. The dependent variable in this study includes the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score. This study included 61 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The results of the multiple linear regression statistical test (Backward LR) with 6 stages stated that body mass index (p-value: 0.001; B: 0.281) and hematocrit (p-value: 0.011; B: 0.528) played a significant role in decreasing the value MMSE. The conclusion of this study is that body mass index, and hematocrit are related to dementia. This research opens up insight into the importance of controlling body weight and body composition, especially in the elderly group to prevent decline in cognitive function in old age.
