Intentionality and Its Representation in Monologue Campaign Speeches within the Framework of the US 2020 Election Discourse
Authors: Kovalev P. A.
Published: October 2023

Modern linguistics pays more and more attention to the issues of political discourse as a communicative activity that attracts a large amount of public attention. Politicians’ campaign speeches, widely studied by public relations specialists, are an effective tool for promoting certain ideas during election campaigns and events. This approach is especially common in the United States of America where political figures running for a particular post often make monologue campaign speeches on the national television and/or directly in front of the voters. From a linguistic point of view, the question how various linguistic means of expressing an intentional orientation are implemented in pre-election campaign speeches of prominent US politicians seems to be a most interesting one. The purpose of this article is to consider the phenomenon of speech intention in the context of monological campaign speeches in the discourse of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, as well as to identify intentional patterns in their public speech construction. The object of the study is the intentionality of the political figures’ speech behavior as the most important factor in their speech interaction with the audience. A selection of monologue speeches by politicians during the 2020 election campaigns were used as material for the study. One of our objectives is to identify the specificity of the use of intentional vocabulary, grammatical and stylistic means that contribute to the expression of the intentional component by the chosen US politicians in their campaign monologues. The author of the article believes that the intentionality of the American politicians’ speech behavior presupposes a pragmatic effect on the mass recipient. At the same time, the addressee, whether s/he is an ordinary voter or a linguist, must be able to decode the intentions of the addressor, realized by him/her through the intentional speech behavior.

The Perception of Beauty and the Concept “Beauty” in Russian-Speaking Students of Psychology
Authors: Nosova P. A.
Published: October 2023

In positive psychology, seeing and experiencing beauty is one of the character strengths that indicates the presence of positive mental health and subjective well-being. The article presents the results of a study of the relationship between susceptibility to beauty and the concept of «beauty» among Russian-speaking psychology students, and also built a preliminary field structure of the concept “beauty”. The sample consisted of 62 subjects aged 18 to 54 years (15 men and 47 women). The study used the Method of Free Association and the Engagement with Beauty Scale. The positive relationship was confirmed between the level of susceptibility to inner beauty and the number of associations to the word “beauty” associated with inner beauty. Additionally, positive relationships were found between the level of general susceptibility to beauty and the number of associations per word «beauty» associated with inner beauty, as well as between the level of susceptibility to the beauty of ideas and the number of associations per word “beauty” associated with inner beauty. Additionally, results related to differences between men and women were obtained. Women are more receptive to the beauty of nature and to the inner beauty of a person, while they give more associations for inner beauty than men. In the field structure of the concept «beauty», the core is the association word nature (31); near periphery of the association words love (25), eyes (19), aesthetics (14), art (14), smile (13), life (12), happiness (11), music (11), woman (11), flowers (10), soul (10), harmony (10), kindness (10).

with complaints of inflammation of the skin of the penis, the “ulcer” on the abdomen, which had appeared a month before, did not bother him at all. The next two observations were identified as sexual contacts. It is interesting that all three cases, in addition to the identical localization of the primary affect (skin of the abdomen), unite friendly relations and a common source of infection. The presence of widespread specific rashes (roseola without a tendency to group) against the background of remains of chancre implies a diagnosis of “lues secundaria recens” in the patient. However, all the described patients also had clinical signs that were more characteristic of the malignant course of syphilis — the early development of widespread papulopustular elements and alopecia.
Epidermal inclusion cyst after uneventful small incision cataract surgery: A diagnostic dilemma
Authors: Kaur Rajwinder , Dahiya Priyanka , Rai Supreet , Roychoudhury Arnav Kumar
Published: October 2023

Conjunctival cysts are not so uncommon after surgical procedures. They are usually benign in nature and are filled with serous material and mucous. They may be congenital or acquired in origin. Acquired cysts are mostly seen after ocular surgery and trauma. Hereby, we report two cases of conjunctival inclusion cysts following uneventful manual small incision cataract surgery in two elderly females. Both cases were treated by cyst excision and suturing of the scleral tunnel with interrupted sutures was done. An unstable scleral wound may be a contributory factor in the formation of cysts. Hence, we conclude that closure of the scleral tunnel with overlying tenon and conjunctival apposition is a critical step in controlling such complications of cataract surgery.

Authors: Costa Edbhergue Ventura Lola , Nogueira Romildo de Albuquerque
Published: October 2023

Objectives:

This study aims to evaluate the fractal dimensions (FDs) (box-count dimension and information dimension (Dinf)) and the number of bifurcations (NOB) in retinography of patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) of grades 2 and 3, both groups without and with risk of diabetic macular edema.

Material and Methods:

Forty-six retinographies of patients with DR were selected, and classified according to the number of microaneurysms, hemorrhages, and the presence of neovascularization: Grade 2 and grade 3. The images were skeletonized, and then the FDs and the NOB were calculated.

Results:

The values of box-counting, Dinf, and the NOB of the retinal vascular networks (whole and in the macular region) did not show statistical differences between the grade 2 groups without and with risk of edema, as well as between the grade 3 groups without and with risk of edema.

Conclusion:

The FD and the NOB revealed that the architecture of the retinal vascular network of individuals with diabetic retinopathy remains unchanged in the presence or absence of risk of macular edema.
Institutional Repositories of Russian Organisations: a Comparative Analysis
Authors: Stukalova Anna A.
Published: October 2023

In order to study the current state of domestic institutional repositories (IR), the official websites of 106 Russian universities — participants of the programme “Priority-2030” and 454 scientific research institutes (SRI) of three categories approved by the Federal Agency of Scientific Organisations according to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation from April 8, 2009 No. 312 “On the assessment and monitoring of the effectivness of scientific organisations performing research, development and technological works of civilian designation” were monitored. A comparative analysis of IR was carried out. In the course of the study the following data were analyzed: availability of the IR on the site, navigation on the site for the convenience of using the IR, content, functionality, visibility, accessibility of materials, etc. Despite the fact that the problems of creating and developing repositories are actively studied both in Russia and abroad, the results of the study showed that the practice of maintaining IRs in Russian universities and scientific organisations is unevenly developed. In scientific institutions repositories are created much less frequently than in educational organisations. However, a half of higher education institutionsʼ IRs are closed to remote users. Access is granted only to teachers and students of educational institutions. In some repositories it is not always possible to successfully use scientific information, as not all repository objects contain the full text of the document, references to external sources are not always correct. The resource base of repositories of higher education institutions is richer than that of research institutes, because in addition to the works of their staff, it includes educational collections and student works. Mostly IRs provide text documents, very rarely other data (audio, video materials, data sets).

Repositories of educational and scientific institutions are limited by chronological frameworks, including mainly documents of 1990—2022. Materials from earlier years of publication are presented in small quantities or include only metadata. The IRs of higher education institutions much more often provide wide search possibilities: choice of simple or advanced search options, use of logical operators, faceted navigation. Except for isolated cases, the IRs of research institutes have one search window with the possibility to search by keywords.

Providing open access to information in repositories increases the visibility and accessibility of scientific research results, citability of publications, and promotes scientific communication.
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky as a Librarian, Bibliographer and Document Historian
Authors: Stolyarov Yury N.
Published: October 2023

The outstanding scientist-naturalist, philosopher, public figure and organizer of science V.I. Vernadsky (1863—1945) dealt with the issues of setting up librarianship in Russia. He was one of the founders of the circle on the reform of people’s libraries (1884), which included undergraduates and graduates of the Imperial St. Petersburg University, most of whom later became prominent scientific and public figures of the country. The participants of the circle considered it necessary to reform the people's libraries. V.I. Vernadsky was one of the compilers of Moscow home reading programs with bibliographic lists of recommended literature for self-educational study. He selected natural science literature for them. The lists were designed for people with secondary education who want to broaden their horizons to the level of university education. V.I. Vernadsky left his name in the history of the creation of the National Library of Ukraine: in 1918, he was chairman of the commission on its establishment; since 1988, this library deservedly bears his name. In the university course of lectures on the world history of science, V.I. Vernadsky devoted a significant place to the history of the origin of printing, the invention of geographical maps, atlases, compass, sextant, bussoli and other devices, which in terms of documentology are sources of information, i.e. documents. As a biographer and bibliographer, V.I. Vernadsky took part in the compilation of a unique 25-volume Russian biographical dictionary, the last volume of which was published in 1917. In the year of the 160th anniversary of the birth of Academician V.I. Vernadsky, these facts from his biography deserve the attention of the library and bibliographic community.
Target Indicators for Assessing the Results of the Implementation of State Programmes for Regional Cultural Development
Authors: Gorlova Irina I. , Zinovieva Nonna B. , Kostina Natalia A.
Published: October 2023

The aim of the article was to conduct research on the evaluation potential of target indicators used to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of state programmes for cultural development of the regions of Southern Russia, its optimality and sufficiency. New tasks in the field of management activity in the sphere of culture, initiated by a number of factors, are analyzed. The most significant factors are identified: informatization and introduction of innovative methods in the management of cultural institutions, the change of generations of visitors to cultural institutions, the change in preferences of the target audience, oriented towards more modern forms of cultural product consumption.

The study was based on the analysis of strategic planning documents presented on the official websites of the ministries of culture of the regions of Southern Russia: Krasnodar and Stavropol Krai, Rostov and Astrakhan Territories, the Republics of Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia — Alania, and Dagestan. The authors analyze the composition of target indicators used in the state programmes of cultural development of the regions, describe their evaluation potential, and classify them. It is concluded that the target indicators of different groups are connected in a complex system of interdependence and complement each other. At the same time, there is a certain bias towards quantitative methods of assessment, which only indirectly and approximately indicate the quality of work of cultural institutions.

We propose innovative target indicators focused on the qualitative assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation of state programmes for the cultural development of regions. These target indicators make it possible to measure the media and network activity of cultural institutions, their presence in virtual space, positive practices of cultural institutions, the development and operation of historical and cultural, literary, ethno-national, cultural and recreational brands in the region.
Hell and Heaven: Film Interpretations of Images in the Context of Mental Representations
Authors: Alesenkova Victoria N.
Published: October 2023

The idea of applying the experience of cognitive analysis to visual works of art served as a prerequisite for studying the mental representations of hell and heaven on the basis of the most vivid cinematic images. Two films — “What Dreams May Come” (V. Ward, USA, 1998) and “Heavenly Judgement” (A. Zvantsova, Russia, 2011—2014) — were chosen as the research material. The center of scientific interest is the cognition of the “inner man” through art. The article outlines the trajectory of the development of individual and collective artistic interpretations of the afterlife within Christian culture. It is argued that the concept of hell has spread directly through objects of verbal and non-verbal creativity. This has significantly distorted the original doctrine of life as a path of spiritual transformation. By the will of man, the “infernal picture of the world” embraced the sphere of the Earth and was embodied in reality. At the turn of the 20—21 centuries, in the conditions of rapid technical evolution, there is a reassessment of metaphysical experience. A cognitive analysis of two directorial concepts — heaven and hell as a state of consciousness (V. Ward) and as a fictitious form of life (A. Zvantsova) — reveals an important qualitative change. It consists in the transformation of the concepts of the inner world in relation to the traditional vertical structure “heaven — earth — hell”. In the modern cognitive model, “hell” is located between “heaven” and “earth”. In the boundaries of the inner world (soul) hell directly intersects with or absorbs paradise, and heavenly paradise is practically absent. As a result of comprehending the screen images of heaven and hell in the context of the established mental representations, an updated picture of ideas about postmortem existence and the nature of the soul is formed.
From Laboratory to Gallery: Transfer of Construction Principles of Scientific Knowledge into Works of Science-Art
Authors: Milovidov Stanislav V.
Published: October 2023

Science-art is seen as an artistic practice that uses scientific theories, concepts and laboratory equipment as its main tools, and the creative method of artists is based on the principles of scientific experimentation. Using the methods of the sociology of science and technology of B. Latour and S. Woolgar to study science-art, it is found that scientific experimentation becomes the basis (medium) of this direction of contemporary art. Thus, science-art borrows not only material objects of the scientific world, but also ways of constructing scientific knowledge, which, according to B. Latour’s research, are hidden in the specifics of laboratory practices. Key in this case are “recording techniques”, which replace various data, diagrams, samples and materials in the production of scientific knowledge, and which become an argument in academic discussions. For science-art, the analogue of such written documents are curatorial texts and explications of works, which can be placed both directly in the exhibition space and form a complex system of references to various research materials, interviews with scholars, podcasts, etc. These texts and media texts allow us to use them in the exhibition space. These texts and media texts allow the viewer to perceive the context of the artist’s creative experiment and form a specific artistic complex “artobject — text — audience”. Together with laboratory practices, science-art brings the art and mechanics of constructing scientific knowledge into the sphere of art, unwittingly fulfilling popularizing and educational tasks. However, the conceptual complexity of the works and the focus on the process of scientific investigation rather than on the presentation of results bring back to the viewer the doubt of philosophical quest and a critical view of scientific research as basic elements of academic enquiry.
Konrad Haebler’s Album of Incunabula in Moscow Libraries
Authors: Squires Catherine R.
Published: October 2023

The paper discloses the unusual treatment of duplicates and defective copies, characteristic of European libraries at the time when Haebler’s works were created and published (beginning of 20th century) and stresses the necessity of correct bibliographic treatment of the valuable printed materials in modern libraries. The paper also presents the famous album of West-European incunabula (Der westeuropäische Wiegendruck in Original-Typenbeispielen), compiled by Konrad Haebler in 1928, two copies of which are held in Moscow at the Russian State Library and the State Public Historical Library of Russia.

This fundamental work in the history of typography by the prominent German expert on incunabula, one of the inventors of the Proctor-Haebler method in bibliography and founder of the world incunabula catalogue Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke, is analyzed in the aspect of the specific early 20th-century bibliographic principles underlying the composition of the album and the way the original old prints are presented in it. The album consists of a collection of 15th-century original fragments enclosed in a 20th-century overall structure (text booklet, case and set of labeled passe-partouts).

This unusual composition can present classification problems in some modern public libraries, when the album is recorded as a whole, whereas the separate incunabula fragments are not catalogued. Moreover, a comparative study of several copies of the album available for analysis on- and offline, carried out in the study, proved that their sample collections were composed of different authentic incunabula leaves, thus making each album unique.
Plastic Interpretations of the World Artistic Heritage in the Monotypes of Valery Babanov
Authors: Koshkina Olga Yu.
Published: October 2023

Since his youth, Valery Babanov’s professional activity has been connected with the art of book design. He is a graphic artist, illustrator of classic and modern prose, poetry of domestic and foreign authors. The search for his own line in art revealed the proximity of his individual creative nature to the monotype technique. The history of the creative path of the outstanding master of prints E.S. Kruglikova, thanks to whose activity it was in St. Petersburg in the early twentieth century that the Russian school of monotype was born, had a great influence on his choice. Prominent Leningrad artists K.A. Kordobovsky, G.D. Epifanov, D.M. Plaksin became mentors in mastering the “pictorial” graphic printing technique. But an example of virtuoso artistry in working with monotype was K.I. Rudakov. A true fan of monotype in book illustration, Babanov strives to create subtle professional graphic works that reveal the essence of the literary work. Long practice has honed the techniques used by the artist in his work: the base — perfectly smooth plates of plexiglass of different sizes with slightly rounded edges, black paint layer, squirrel brushes, cotton paper. In addition to the visual interpretation of literary texts, the master actively works in easel graphics, in particular, realizing a project of plastic interpretations of the world’s artistic heritage. The artist’s solo exhibition “Striving for Perfection” (2020), which became the intermediate result of his activity, presented selected monotypes, in which Babanov reflects on the work of the great masters of painting, passing the history of art through his perception. A visual narrative of contemplation and plastic retelling of the legacy of the old masters and artists of the twentieth century — interpretation by means of monotype — in personal sensations there is a reflection of creative individuality, a fuller disclosure of natural identity. The more the artist understood, penetrated, felt the sample of copying, the more he presented himself. Turning to the past, V.V. Babanov continues to follow the eternal path of apprenticeship.
Historical and Cultural Aspects of the Formation of Russian Decorative and Applied Arts
Authors: Galkina Marina V.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the historical and cultural aspects of the processes of formation of artistic tradition in Russian decorative and applied arts and folk crafts from the XI to the middle of the XV century. Using the example of outstanding pieces of various types and directions of decorative art, the main periods and stages of the formation of the general stylistics of the masters’ creativity and the ways of spreading similar artistic and figurative solutions are determined. The examples given by the author touch upon issues directly related to the processes of integration of Russian traditional crafts and decorative art with the creativity of Byzantium, Scandinavia, Central Europe and the culture of the peoples of the European part of Russia, which were subjected to the expansion of the Northern Slavic tribes. The author defines the development of the Russian artistic tradition as the active introduction of individual elements and figurative solutions of various sources into the basic Slavic culture, based on the preserved monuments of architecture, art and printed writing. The research is based on the works of archaeologists, art historians and artists, which are fundamental works on the history and theory of decorative and applied arts (A.N. Kirpichnikova, M.A. Orlova, B.A. Rybakov, etc.). A comparative analysis of the current state of certain types of Russian decorative and applied arts, traditional and folk crafts, taking into account the influence of technological transformations on authentic techniques and materials. The author’s conclusions are based on many years of experience in studying decorative and applied arts as a factor in the development of professional competencies of students of art universities and institutions of additional education in the process of becoming independent masters and artists.
Reflections on Challenges and Rewards in Teaching Chemistry
Authors: Lipscher Juraj
Published: October 2023

The author gives his personal and subjective view of the manifold challenges in teaching chemistry and argues that, in most cases, the challenges lie in the difficulty of balancing two opposing concerns and thus can be formulated as dilemmas. He discusses, among others, the role of general education, language skills, finding the correct level of simplification, and specific problems of teaching the language of chemistry. Furthermore, he points out possibilities to overcome the pitfalls inherent in teaching chemistry and describes examples of the challenges and their solutions. Awareness of individual challenges is the prerequisite to finding solutions and improving one’s teaching.

Metal-Peptidic Cages – Helical Oligoprolines Generate Highly Anisotropic Nanospaces with Emergent Isomer Control
Authors: Barber Ben , Jamieson Ellen , White Leah , McTernan Charlie
Published: October 2023

The self-assembly of metal-organic cages enables the rapid creation of atomically defined, three-dimensional, nanoscale architectures reminiscent of proteins. However, existing metal-organic cages are almost exclusively built from rigid and flat aromatic panels, limiting binding selectivity and, often, water solubility. Herein, we disclose a new class of cages - metal-peptidic cages - which utilise water-soluble, chiral and helical oligoproline strands of varying length to generate highly anisotropic nanospaces. Further, we find formation of the cis isomer of the cage is strongly favoured, and is an emergent property of using complex and chiral building blocks in the formation of defined nanospaces. We demonstrate that the use of peptidic building blocks allows us to rapidly tune the size of the nanospace formed, from c. 1 - 4 nm, and that the use of biologically relevant components enables targeted binding of therapeutic molecules, highlighting the potential of these systems for selective drug delivery.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a non-RTK cytoplasmic kinase predominantly expressed by haemopoietic lineages, particularly B-cells. A new Oxindole-based focused library was designed to identify potent compounds targeting the BTK protein as anticancer agents. This study used rational approaches like structure-based pharmacophore modelling, docking, and ADME properties to select compounds. The Molecular dynamics simulation analysis carried out at 20 ns supported the stability of compound 9g within the binding pocket. All the compounds were synthesized and subjected to biological screening on two BTK-expressing cancer cell lines, RAMOS and K562, and six non-BTK cancer cell lines, A549, HCT116 (parental and p53-/-), U2OS, JURKAT, and CCRF-CEM, and two non-malignant cell lines, BJ and MRC-5. This study resulted in the identification of four new compounds, 9b, 9f, 9g, and 9h, which displayed potent activity against BTK-high RAMOS cells. These four compounds, each possessing free binding energies of -10.8, -11.1, -11.3, and -10.8 Kcal/mol, demonstrated antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects in RAMOS cells with IC50 values falling within the lower sub-micromolar range.

The development of near-infrared II fluorophore for tumor drug resistance reversal based on photothermal therapy
Authors: Du Kaihong , Zhang Guiquan , He Dong , Hu Rong , Qin Anjun , Tang Ben Zhong
Published: October 2023

Multidrug resistance of tumor cells has greatly inhibited the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy. The development of reliable strategies to deal with tumor multidrug resistance is highly desirable for tumor therapy. In this work, novel near-infrared II (NIR II) fluorophores were rationally developed as photothermal reagents to reverse the drug resistance of tumor cells by reducing the related proteins expression, achieving high inhibition efficiency with the synergistic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs. By enhancing the electro-accepting effect, the emission peak of fluorophore shifted from 665 nm to 973 nm with acquiring NIR II materials, which presented outstanding photo-thermal conversion ability and improved thermal-stability compared to ICG. Then, by pre-treating with the photo-thermal treatment of NIR II fluorophore, the anti-tumor efficiency of chemotherapeutic drugs, including paclitaxel, cis-platinum and doxorubicin, was significantly enhanced towards drug-resistance tumor cells. The mechanism exploration revealed that drug resistance-related proteins would be remarkably reduced and enable the cells more sensitive towards drugs. Thus, this strategy demonstrated a promising and reliable approach to reverse the drug-resistance of tumor cells for efficient tumor inhibition in clinic.

Published: October 2023

Cookies are baked goods that typically comprise the three main elements sugar, lipids and wheat flour alongside the additional minute components including eggs, milk, salt, and leavening agents. Gluten, a wheat protein found in wheat flour, contributes to the extensibility and elasticity of dough. For an individual with a celiac disease, the consumption of gluten should be avoided. In addition to those with celiac disease, those who observe religious fasts abstain from wheat and wheat-derived items. Religious fasting, often described as a fasting regimen carried out for spiritual or religious reasons, is a dietary pattern characterized by varying degrees of calorie restriction and abstention from particular foods. In order to make gluten-free cookies for fasting, water chestnut flour, foxnuts, and peanuts were combined with cardamom and clove as flavoring agent. The experimental planning and analysis were performed using the Response Surface Methodology. Two independent variables, specifically the foxnut powder and chestnut flour were selected and the Central Composite Design was applied. Altogether, thirteen experimental formulations were used for producing cookies. Along with sensory evaluation, the cookies’ moisture, ash, fat, and protein contents were examined. For general acceptance, 25–30 semi-trained panelists were chosen to conduct the sensory analysis based on a numerical scoring test. The sample (S12; 60% chestnut and 5% foxnut flour) had the greatest overall acceptance score. The chemical components of S12, namely moisture, ash, fat, and protein, were 3.84%, 3.51%, 18.52%, and 6.92%, respectively. Compared to the control sample, this sample was preferred.
A Heatmap for Monitoring Systemic Financial Stability Risks in Ukraine

Published: October 2023

This study presents an updated risk map of the Ukrainian financial sector – an analytical tool for identifying and monitoring the buildup and materialization of systemic risks. The risk map methodology that the National Bank of Ukraine used until 2021 has been revised to ensure that risk assessment is based on reliable quantitative indicators rather than expert judgements, as well as to extend the list of risks considered. The instrument allows the stability of the financial system to be assessed across key risks, such as macroeconomic risk, the credit risks of households and non-financial corporations, capital adequacy risk, profitability risk, liquidity risk, and foreign exchange risk. We introduce indicators that capture a wide range of economic and financial vulnerabilities and group them by risks. Each risk category contains from four to seven indicators that combine both actual data and expectations. Statistical checks show that the indicators clearly signal previous crisis episodes, as well as the buildup of vulnerabilities during the research period. We find that macroeconomic risk and foreign exchange risk have the best explanatory and predictive power, while the weaker performance of other risks could result from structural changes in the banking sector over the past decades that have affected the overall risk profile of the financial sector.
The method of integral equations in the problems of studying oscillations of shells partially filled with liquid
Authors: Myronenko Maria
Published: October 2023

G-force reaching several g affect the stability of the launch vehicle in the launching phase. The mathematical modeling methods are used to study the longitudinal vibration stability of liquid-fueled launch vehicles in the launching phase. The paper presents the modeling of small oscillations of fluid motion in a rigid, partially filled shell of rotation. The modeling is based on the developed mathematical model: fluid is supposed to be ideal and incompressible, fluid motion being vortexless, velocity potential gradient being fluid velocity. The conditions for the velocity potential at the boundaries of the computational domain are determined. The kinematic boundary condition and dynamic boundary condition on the free surface and nonpermeability condition on the bottom and side surfaces of the tank are fulfilled. The solution of the differential equations system for the boundary conditions has been obtained. The liquid sloshing in a low gravity has been investigated and the boundary conditions have been generalized. In the dynamic boundary condition the surface tension is accounted for. The assumed mode method has been developed to solve problems of free and forced oscillations of shell structures with compartments filled with liquid. The system of differential equations relative to the elastic movements of the structure and the active liquid pressure is obtained. For its solution three sets of basic functions have been used. The gravitational component in the singular equation system in the problem of sloshing in a rigid shell is taken into account. The cases of control points being positioned on the liquid free surface, as well as on the shell surface are considered. The solution of the system of equations determines the velocity potential.

Semakin pendek jarak perpindahan material maka ongkos material handling yang ditanggung oleh pabrik tersebut akan semakin kecil. Selain itu, penggunaan area pabrik yang tersedia secara efisien juga merupakan ciri dari tata letak pabrik dan fasilitas produksi yang baik. Pada saat pandemi Covid-19, pengaturan tata letak pada suatu pabrik juga harus mempertimbangkan penerapan protokol kesehatan yang telah ditetapkan. Penilitian ini bertujuan untuk mengatur layout dan pola aliran dan juga menerapkan aturan social dan physical distancing selama pandemi. Metode yang digunakan adalah Metode Triangular Flow Diagram dan pengukuran jarak dilakukan dengan menggunakan Metode Rectilinear. Penelitian merupakan suatu studi kasus pada PT. Citra Nusantara Mandiri (CNM) yang merupakan Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah (UMKM) yang mengolah bibit jagung hibrida. Dari evaluasi yang dilakukan, teridentifikasi terjadinya back tracking dan pola aliran yang tidak beraturan pada proses produksi di perusahaan ini. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa penerapan Metode Triangular Flow Diagram menyebabkan berkurangnya jarak perpindahan material sebesar 48,5% dari kondisi awal dan pola aliran material berbentuk U-shape.

Published: October 2023

Salah satu aspek utama yang menentukan keberhasilan pengelolaan suatu sistem rantai pasokan atau supply chain management (SCM) adalah perencanaan transportasi. Permasalahan tentang penentuan rute kendaraan atau yang biasa dikenal dengan vehicle routing problem (VRP) merupakan salah satu kajian penting dalam perencanaan transportasi pada tingkat operasional. Penentuan rute kendaraan yang tepat dapat meningkatkan efektivitas dan efisiensi dari sebuah sistem transportasi maupun sistem rantai pasokan yang terkait. Penelitian ini berfokus pada asymmetric capacitated vehicle routing problem with time windows (ACVRPTW), yaitu masalah rute kendaraan yang mempertimbangkan kapasitas kendaraan, jarak bolak-balik antar pelanggan yang tidak simetris, dan batasan waktu pengiriman. Sebuah model matematis dirumuskan dengan berbasis pada tujuan penelitian yang ingin dicapai, yaitu meminimumkan total biaya pengiriman yang terdiri dari biaya perjalanan, biaya lembur pengiriman, biaya kompensasi keterlambatan pengiriman, dan biaya pengiriman kembali. Terdapat dua alternatif algoritma solusi yang dikembangkan, yaitu sequential insertion (SI) dan ant colony optimization (ACO). Sebuah contoh numerik diberikan untuk menunjukkan hasil penelitian pada sebuah industri konveksi pakaian, dimana algoritma ACO terbukti mampu menghasilkan solusi yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan algoritma SI.

Persaingan di dalam dunia pendidikan tinggi secara khusus Perguruan Tinggi Swasta (PTS) terutama di era digital menjadi semakin ketat. Dalam memperebutkan jumlah calon mahasiswa baru yang tersedia, berbagai cara dilakukan agar target penerimaan jumlah mahasiswa baru dapat tercapai. Pemberian program beasiswa adalah salah satu cara menjaring calon mahasiswa baru. Pemberian program beasiswa harus mempertimbangkan berbagai kemungkinan seperti keseriusan atau komitmen sedangkan penolakan pemberian program beasiswa dapat juga terjadi dan menjadi kendala pada akhir suatu periode Penerimaan Mahasiswa Baru (PMB). Model prediksi melalui pembelajaran mesin dengan beberapa atribut seperti asal sekolah SMA, “Kategori Sekolah” SMA, provinsi atau daerah asal SMA, jurusan saat SMA yang diambil, nilai akademik SMA, jenis pekerjaan orang tua, dan pilihan program studi atau jurusan yang akan diambil saat nanti berkuliah pada akhirnya dapat memberikan suatu indikator nilai peluang atau kemungkinan penerimaan atau penolakan program beasiswa dari seorang calon mahasiswa baru. Saat ini belum ada usaha untuk memprediksi secara sistematis terhadap penerimaan / penolakan program beasiswa. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membangun dan membandingkan model pembelajaran mesin seperti Logistic Regression, Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, dan K Nearest Neighbors sehingga didapatkan satu model pembelajaran mesin yang memiliki prediksi yang terbaik terhadap pemberian program beasiswa. Dari hasil penelitian maka model Logistic Regression memiliki nilai akurasi rata-rata tertinggi (62,05%) saat melakukan pembelajaran model dengan data latihan dibandingkan dengan model lainnya. Akurasi model Logistic Regression memiliki nilai tertinggi terhadap data uji sebesar (62,29%) dan juga memiliki nilai AUC (0.818) yang berarti bahwa model dapat melakukan pengklasifikasian dengan baik terhadap kelompok pengambilan keputusan dibandingkan dengan model lainnya.

Published: October 2023

Purpose:  The objective of this study focused on conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) of Sustainable Industrial Parks (SIPs) and their impact in Ecuador.
 
Theoretical Framework: SIPs are an effective tool for implementing Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) and are an instrument to increase impact with efficient use of resources and cleaner production.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology adhered to three widely accepted steps for a SLR comprising: planning, execution and dissemination of the analysis. The data review period dates from January 1, 2003 to October 31, 2022, using crawlers such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science and Dialnet, considering rigorous methods of inclusion and exclusion.
 
Findings:   The results of this study have provided evidence towards the design of a Circular Economy (CE) integration model through Industrial Symbiosis (IS), with agent-based modeling (ABM) adapted to the authenticity of the Ecuadorian industry and to manufacturing with a sustainable mentality.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  This research through the RSL extracted essential information that highlighted and unified different concepts of SIPs, the congruent point of its functionality and the signs of change that Ecuador shows framed under the concept of CE, beginning to an era of transition extinguished mainly to the current four dimensions of sustainability, focused on economic values, environmental, social and political aspects.
 
Originality/Value:  The current study contributes to the literature by showing that industrial development involves pollution and reducing it awakens the use of methodologies aimed at satisfying sustainability needs without involving the capacity of future generations.
