Política e construção noticiosa no sistema de mídia regional: o caso da TV Mirante e do Governo do Maranhão
Authors: Dantas do Rego Silva Sarah , Maciel Sammyla , Quesada Tavares Camilla
Published: November 2023

O objetivo da pesquisa é investigar como os profissionais da TV Mirante, afiliada da Rede Globo no Maranhão, atuam em relação à cobertura de assuntos políticos, considerando que o atual governador é do grupo oposto à proprietária do veículo, a família Sarney. Do mesmo modo, procuramos compreender quais as estratégias de comunicação do governo estadual para inserir suas pautas no jornalismo da emissora. Como metodologia foi adotada a técnica de entrevistas em profundidade com oito profissionais da TV Mirante e quatro da Secretaria de Comunicação e Assuntos Políticos (SECAP) do Estado. Diante das entrevistas realizadas, as principais considerações do estudo mostram que as declarações dos profissionais da SECAP vão de encontro aos da TV Mirante. Por um lado, a maior parte dos entrevistados da emissora defendem que não há intervenções políticas na cobertura jornalística. Por outro, os profissionais da SECAP alegam que há resistência, por parte do referido veículo, em emplacar notícias sobre o governo do Estado.
Internacionalização das políticas públicas em governos subnacionais
Authors: Henrique Moreira Dias Almeida Gustavo
Published: November 2023

As Ciências Sociais, e particularmente a Ciência Política, frequentemente se limitaram ao que muitos autores denominam como “nacionalismo metodológico” nas análises sobre a produção de políticas públicas. No campo das Relações Internacionais, por outro lado, percebemos certa priorização sobre a atuação externa do Estado e poucos estudos que relacionam o Estado e os atores internacionais às políticas domésticas. Na busca por ajudar a superar esta fronteira do conhecimento, este artigo objetiva compreender o fenômeno da internacionalização dos processos de produção das políticas públicas em governos subnacionais. Por meio de revisão bibliográfica e casos empíricos, compreendemos que este fenômeno merece destaque não só pela ampliação teórica que mobiliza, mas também porque expande as opções de atuação dos governos locais na medida em que novos atores e mecanismos podem ser aportados às políticas públicas.
Eleições municipais no WhatsApp
Authors: Fonseca Silva Luana , Batista Mitozo Isabele
Published: November 2023

Sabendo do sucesso que o uso do WhatsApp para campanha obteve nas eleições presidenciais de 2018, é importante estudar quais as fontes dos conteúdos difundidos neste espaço. Desse modo, este trabalho propõe analisar o uso político de grupos públicos nesse aplicativo nas eleições municipais de 2020, observando o caso de Imperatriz – MA. O corpus é constituído por 118 links compartilhados em dois grupos durante os 31 dias do mês de outubro. A escolha dos grupos deu-se pelo intuito de pesquisar aqueles que não fossem diretamente ligados aos candidatos à Prefeitura e à Câmara de Vereadores. Utiliza-se a análise de conteúdo quantitativa como metodologia, observando as seguintes variáveis: fonte, plataforma, candidato e conteúdo da postagem. Os resultados apontam que os blogs da cidade foram a principal fonte de conteúdo, a plataforma predominante dos links compartilhados foi o Instagram e a temática em que mais se investiu foi a propaganda política, sobretudo do prefeituráveis.
Americanização das trajetórias e a renegociação da dívida externa
Authors: Silva Leonardo , Silva Mazon Marcia da
Published: November 2023

O artigo analisa o embate ocorrido no início do governo Sarney entre os defensores do chamado tratamento técnico da dívida externa – o qual alinhava-se com o monetarismo e implicava na manutenção do acordo draconiano da ditadura – e os proponentes de uma reconversão ao tratamento político – mais próximo a heterodoxia e baseado num endurecimento das negociações. Mobilizando análise documental, entrevista e prosopografia, examinou-se a relação entre a americanização das trajetórias e a preferência pela negociação técnica. Retomando a discussão sobre o papel do capital internacional nas guerras palacianas dos países periféricos, interpretou-se tal relação como uma forma positiva de “afinidade eletiva”, ou seja, uma convergência e atração mútua entre uma socialização caracterizada pela passagem pelos EUA e contato com sua ideologia liberal e a predileção por uma política externa alinhada à ortodoxia econômica e complacente frente aos interesses internacionais e, sobretudo, estadunidenses.
Gestão Democrática na Universidade Federal
Authors: Teles Diniz Costa Gabriel , Eduardo Artiaga Paula Carlos , Mara de Souza Braga Cleidiane , Alves de Deus Lidiane
Published: November 2023

O estudo visa analisar a inserção dos trabalhadores terceirizados em uma Universidade Federal que adota como diretriz a gestão democrática, conforme disposto na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação. Foram desenvolvidas entrevistas abertas com mais de 50% dos terceirizados da Instituição. Observou-se, em consonância com a literatura, que a terceirização leva a uma diminuição de direitos em relação aos servidores públicos, não apenas ao se comparar a Lei 8.112/90 com a Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho, mas também no trato dos trabalhadores, a exemplo da concessão de recessos, auxílio-transporte, locais adequados para a alimentação, entre outros. Conclui-se, ainda, que a Universidade Federal pesquisada não é, nesse aspecto, democrática e que a terceirização leva à alienação. Recomenda-se ações voltadas para essa categoria, como capacitação, cursos e eventos, e que tenham representatividade nos órgãos e conselhos universitários como um canal legítimo para reivindicar os seus direitos.

Published: November 2023

Tendo em vista a estrutura de planejamento de agentes subnacionais municipais para atingir objetivos de longo prazo, reconhece-se que estes esbarram em desafios que os provocam a aliar estratégias de desenvolvimento urbano − que assegurem o crescimento municipal − com a promoção do equilíbrio das contas públicas. Em atenção à importância do planejamento em nível municipal, este trabalho teve como objetivo apurar as finanças públicas de Fortaleza com base nas diretrizes trazidas pelo Plano Fortaleza 2040. Realizou-se um estudo descritivo, a partir dos gastos apresentados pelas leis orçamentárias no que se refere aos propósitos estabelecidos por este plano. Por conseguinte, constatou-se a tendência de crescimento acelerado do déficit previdenciário municipal. De forma a aprimorar os resultados da apuração de gastos, estimou-se os parâmetros de impacto do déficit previdenciário corrente e se propôs um modelo de previsão até o período de consolidação do plano. Os resultados mostram que a redução nos gastos para a realização do plano será severamente impactada pelo resultado do balanço atuarial de Fortaleza.

Do arcabouço discursivo à performance corporificada
Authors: Veloso Lucas Henrique Nigri
Published: November 2023

O artigo argumenta sobre o potencial heurístico e crítico do conceito de vulnerabilidades para pesquisas sobre participação cidadã, movimentos sociais e lutas por reconhecimento. Pela ótica das vulnerabilidades, a ação social do sujeito político se dá sempre apesar e a partir das vulnerabilidades existenciais e sociopolíticas que enfrenta em seu cotidiano. Nesse sentido, ao tratar dicotomias clássicas como agência e padecimento, vitimização e resistência, o conceito de vulnerabilidades nos habilita a compreender como situações de adversidade e precaridade social atravessam processos de participação política: a) introduzindo diferença na motivação e agenda política de um movimento social; b) compondo obstáculos e oportunidades para a ação coletiva; c) sendo reconfiguradas pelo próprio processo de participação cidadã. Sob certas condições, vulnerabilidades, embora originalmente vistas como percalços, podem atuar como vetores de resistência e empoderamento social. Para além de uma reflexão teórica e metodológica, o artigo apresenta resultados de aplicação empírica do conceito de vulnerabilidades sobre etnografia política que mapeou desafios e inovações democráticas promovidas pelo movimento social antimanicomial de Belo Horizonte no processo de construção e performance do protesto “dia de luta antimanicomial”.
On a class of infinite semipositone problems for (p,q) Laplace operator
Authors: Dhanya R. , Pramanik Sarbani , Harish R.
Published: November 2023

We analyze a non-linear elliptic boundary value problem that involves [Formula: see text] Laplace operator, for the existence of its positive solution in an arbitrary smooth bounded domain. The non-linearity here is driven by a singular, monotonically increasing continuous function in [Formula: see text] which is eventually positive. The novelty in proving the existence of a positive solution lies in the construction of a suitable subsolution. Our contribution marks an advancement in the theory of existence of positive solutions for infinite semipositone problems in arbitrary bounded domains, whereas the prevailing theory is limited to addressing similar problems only in symmetric domains. Additionally, using the ideas pertaining to the construction of subsolution, we establish the exact behavior of the solutions of “q-sublinear” problem involving [Formula: see text] Laplace operator when the parameter λ is very large. The parameter estimate that we derive is non-trivial due to the non-homogeneous nature of the operator and is of independent interest.

And there was no difference in diagnostic accuracy for T1 ( P = 0.118). CEUS significantly improved diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in T3 (42.86% to 61.90% for sensitivity, 86.96% to 93.75% for specificity), and T4 (64.71% to 76.47% for sensitivity, 78.33% to 95.74% for specificity).

CONCLUSION:

Compared with OCEUS, CEUS did improve the diagnostic accuracy of T2, T3, and T4 stages of gastric cancer.
Cache attacks on subkey calculation of Blowfish
Authors: Fan Haopeng , Wang Wenhao , Wang Yongjuan , Wang Xiangbin , Gao Yang
Published: November 2023

Cache attacks pose a serious security threat to cryptographic implementations in processor architectures. In this paper, we first propose cache attacks against Blowfish, which can break the protection of key-dependent S-box. This attack targets at the subkey calculation of Blowfish, and fully exploits features of the subkey calculation to construct a leakage equation group about the key. Without any knowledge of plaintext and ciphertext, the attacker only needs to obtain the cache leakage once to recover a variable-length key in minute-level time. More than that, we establish a leakage model for cache attack situations to evaluate the exhausting space of the intermediate value of block ciphers, and estimate the time complexity of cache attacks. In our experiments, we perform Flush + Reload and Prime + Probe attacks and recover the random key of Blowfish in OpenSSL 1.1.1h in 4 minutes. Furthermore, we have applied our attacks to existing systems, such as JavaScript-blowfish and Bcrypt. Our attack on JavaScript-blowfish can recover any plaintext input by the user. As for Bcrypt, our attack can recover the hash values stored in the database, thereby allowing attackers to impersonate the user’s identity.
The numerical solution of fuzzy singular Lyapunov matrix equations
Authors: Jiang Zhujun , Zhou Jieyong , He Qixiang
Published: November 2023

Fuzzy singular Lyapunov matrix equations have many applications, but feasible numerical methods to solve them are absent. In this paper, we propose an efficient numerical method for fuzzy singular Lyapunov matrix equations, where A is crisp and semi-stable. In our method, we transform fuzzy singular Lyapunov matrix equation into two crisp Lyapunov matrix equations. Then we solve the least squares solutions of the two crisp Lyapunov matrix equations, respectively. The existence of fuzzy solution is also considered. At last, two small examples are presented to illustrate the validate of the method and two large scale examples that the existing method fails to slove are presented to show the efficiency of the method.
On retractions and extension of quasi-overlap and quasi-grouping functions defined on bounded lattices
Authors: Monteiro Ana Shirley , Santiago Regivan , Bedregal Benjamín , Palmeira Eduardo , Araújo Juscelino
Published: November 2023

Saminger-Platz, Klement, and Mesiar (2008) extended t-norms from a complete sublattice to its respective lattice using the conventional definition of sublattice. In contrast, Palmeira and Bedregal (2012) introduced a more inclusive sublattice definition, via retractions. They expanded various important mathematical operators, including t-norms, t-conorms, fuzzy negations, and automorphisms. They also introduced De Morgan triples (semi-triples) for these operators and provided their extensions in their groundbreaking work. In this paper, we propose a method of extending quasi-overlap functions and quasi-grouping functions defined on bounded sublattices (in a broad sense) to a bounded superlattice. To achieve that, we use the technique proposed by Palmeira and Bedregal. We also define: quasi-overlap (resp. quasi-grouping) functions generated from quasi-grouping (resp. quasi-overlap) functions and frontier fuzzy negations, De Morgan (semi)triples for the classes of quasi-overlap functions, quasi-grouping functions and fuzzy negations, as well as its respective extensions. Finally we study properties of all extensions defined.
A multi-attribute group decision making method based on novel distance measures and regret theory under probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy sets
Authors: Wang Pingping , Chen Jiahua
Published: November 2023

As a decision information preference which includes membership degree (MD), non-membership degree (NMD), and probability, the probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy set (PDHFS) is a crucial tool for effectively expressing uncertain information. In the domains of multi-attribute decision making (MADM) and multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM), distance measures are extremely helpful tools. In this study, a novel PDHFS distance measure is put out, on which a MAGDM method that takes decision-makers’ (DMs’) psychological behavior into account is proposed. First, a novel distance measure is put forward to effectively assess the difference between different PDHFSs by adding consideration of the distances between MDs and between NMDs. Second, a similarity-trust analysis method based on the new distance measure is employed to calculate expert weights for integrating group decisions, and the group satisfaction index and regret theory are extended to a probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy information environment. A MAGDM method based on the novel distance measure and regret theory is proposed. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the selection of radiation protection strategies in nuclear power plants, and it is also determined through parametric analysis that DMs’ tendency to avoid regret has an impact on the outcomes of decisions. When the method proposed in this study is compared to existing approaches, the findings demonstrate that the method’s performance in resolving MAGDM issues in a PDHFS environment is superior.

The design and implementation of teachers’ classroom teaching strategies is the key to the success of second language classroom teaching. In order to improve the quality of second-language classroom teaching in universities and enhance the interactivity in the teaching process, the application of virtual reality technology in second-language classroom teaching in universities is studied. Firstly, an integrated ware platform is designed for second language classroom teaching in universities, which consists of an integrated ware library and a database. Then virtual reality technology is used to design an integrated ware library within the platform and collect information such as various teaching media resources designed in the classroom teaching content into the integrated ware library; Utilize 3DS Max software in virtual reality technology to construct three-dimensional models of teaching scenes and entities; Choose to use linear difference method to render 3D model colors; From a visual perspective, enhance the realism of the rendered model through image enhancement technology and color contrast enhancement technology. According to the functions of the physical object, various interactive events are added to the created teaching scene and the three-dimensional model of the entity and stored in the integrable ware library to achieve panoramic roaming of the second language classroom teaching scene in universities. The experimental results show that the teaching platform designed by this method can accurately construct three-dimensional models of teaching scenes and objects with good visual effects, providing users with a more realistic sensory experience and effectively improving students’ mastery of teaching content.
Extended technique for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy MAGDM and applications to performance evaluation of intangible assets operation and management in sports events
Authors: Hao Xiaofan
Published: November 2023

From a management perspective, performance is the desired outcome of an organization, and it is an effective output that an organization exhibits at different levels to achieve its goals. Sports event performance refers to the results and effects generated by sports events, and is a comprehensive assessment category in sports event management. It refers not only to the concept of economic level, but also to the public satisfaction of sports events and a series of social effects caemployed by them. It focuses not only on the quality and economic value of sports events themselves, but also on the achievements and effects of sports events and society, sports events and citizens, sports events and the environment. The performance evaluation of intangible assets operation and management (IAOM) in sports events is the MAGDM. Recently, the TODIM and TOPSIS technique has been employed to manage MAGDM. The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) are employed as a useful tool for depicting uncertain information during the performance evaluation of IAOM in sports events. In this paper, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy TODIM-TOPSIS (IVIF-TODIM-TOPSIS) technique is built to manage the MAGDM under IVIFSs. At last, the numerical example for sports events performance evaluation of IAOM is employed to show the IVIF-TODIM-TOPSIS decision technique. The main contribution of this paper is outlined: (1) the TODIM technique based on TOPSIS has been extended to IVIFSs based on information Entropy; (2) the information Entropy technique is employed to derive weight based on core values under IVIFSs. (3) the IVIF-TODIM-TOPSIS technique is founded to manage the MAGDM under IVIFSs; (4) a numerical case study for performance evaluation of IAOM in sports events and some comparative analysis is supplied to validate the proposed technique.
Virtual inertia support based frequency and dynamic voltage control for grid-connected SPMSG-based wind turbine
Authors: Sharma Rakesh , Sahay Kuldeep , Singh Satyendra
Published: November 2023

The Challenge to stabilize the grid frequency increases with the increment of renewable energy resources. System inertia/frequency control is a significant concern for maintaining system stability with a fast response time during the load transition. This manuscript proposes surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous generator (SPMSG) based wind energy conversion system (WECS) with a frequency support DC-link controlling loop and a converter protective DC-link voltage-controller frequency support system. To achieve power exchange, the frequency control system (FCS) for the SPMSG-based wind turbine supports the grid-side virtual inertia. The DC-link voltage is disturbed during the load transition to maintain the frequency, while the electrolytic capacitor requires extra care regarding the DC bus voltage. This manuscript incorporates the FCS system with a supercapacitor and dynamic voltage limiter to avoid additional care of the DC bus voltage. A detailed analysis of system frequency with the additional load increment, normal connected load decrement, and various fault scenarios has been done. The proposed system is compared with the existing virtual inertia support (VIS). The simulation results show that the proposed frequency control system-based VIS efficiently limits the frequency deviations & DC-link voltage. The results are verified in the OPAL-RT 4510 real-time simulator environment to ensure the efficacy of the proposed system.
Sequence recommendation algorithm fusing filter and transformer under joint training
Authors: Yang Xingyao , Dang Zibo , Yu Jiong , Zhong Zhiqiang , Chang Mengxue , Zhang Zulian
Published: November 2023

In existing sequential recommendation systems, user behavior data are directly used as training data for the model to complete the training process and address recommendation tasks. However, user-generated behavioral data inevitably contains noise, and the use of the Transformer’s recommendation model may lead to overfitting on such noisy data. To address this issue, we introduce a sequence recommendation algorithm model named FAT-Rec, which incorporates fusion filters and converters through joint training. By employing joint training methods, we establish both a transformer prediction layer and a CTR prediction layer. Toward the end of the model, we assign weights and sum up the losses from the Transformer and CTR prediction layers to derive the final loss function. Experimental results on two widely used datasets, MovieLens and Goodbooks, demonstrate a significant enhancement in the performance of the proposed FAT-Rec recommendation algorithm compared with seven comparative models. This validates the efficacy of the fusion filter and transformer within the context of sequence recommendation tasks under the joint training mechanism.

Authors: Landfeldt E. , Aleman A. , Abner S. , Zhang R. , Werner C. , Tomazos I. , Lochmüller H. , Quinlivan R.M.
Published: November 2023

Background:

Despite advances in the medical management of the disease, respiratory involvement remains a significant source of morbidity and mortality in children and adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Objective:

The objective of this systematic literature review was to synthesize and grade published evidence of factors associated with respiratory health and function in DMD.

Methods:

We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for records of studies published from January 1, 2000 (to ensure relevance to current care practices), up until and including December 31, 2022, reporting evidence of prognostic indicators and predictors of disease progression in DMD. The quality of evidence (i.e., very low to high) was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) framework.

Results:

The bibliographic search strategy resulted in the inclusion of 29 articles. In total, evidence of 10 factors associated with respiratory health and function in patients with DMD was identified: glucocorticoid exposure (high- to very low-quality evidence), DMD mutations (low-quality evidence), DMD genetic modifiers (low-quality evidence), other pharmacological interventions (i.e., ataluren, eteplirsen, idebenone, and tamoxifen) (moderate- to very low-quality evidence), body mass index and weight (low-quality evidence), and functional ability (low-quality evidence).

Conclusions:

In conclusion, we identified a total of 10 factors associated with respiratory health in function in DMD, encompassing both pharmacological therapies, genetic mutations and modifiers, and patient clinical characteristics. Yet, more research is needed to further delineate sources of respiratory heterogeneity, in particular the genotype-phenotype association and the impact of novel DMD therapies in a real-world setting. Our synthesis and grading should be helpful to inform clinical practice and future research of this heavily burdened patient population.
Improvement of the mathematical model of the extraction efficiency of landfill gas
Authors: Bereziuk O. , Lemeshev M.
Published: November 2023

Landfill gas, the main component of which is methane, is formed in places where municipal solid waste is buried. According to the degree of damage to the environment, methane is considered the second most harmful greenhouse gas emitted into the Earth's atmosphere. Therefore, improving the dependence of the efficiency of landfill gas extraction on the main impact parameters in order to increase the prevalence of the use of renewable energy sources, save fossil energy sources and simultaneously reduce the intensity of environmental pollution is an urgent scientific and technical task. The purpose of the study is to improve the mathematical model of predicting the efficiency of landfill gas extraction with the aim of increasing the use of renewable energy sources, saving fossil energy sources and simultaneously reducing the intensity of environmental pollution. The research was carried out by second-order experimental design using the Box-Wilson method using a rotatable central composite design using the developed software, which is protected by a copyright certificate. An improved mathematical model for forecasting the efficiency of landfill gas extraction in different countries was obtained, which, unlike the basic model, provides greater convergence with actual data, contains a significantly smaller number of coefficients. It was established that, according to Fisher's test, the hypothesis about the adequacy of the obtained regression model can be considered correct with 95 % confidence. The correlation coefficient was 0.99992, which indicates the high reliability of the obtained results. The resulting improved regression dependence can be used to increase the prevalence of renewable energy sources, save fossil energy sources, and simultaneously reduce the intensity of environmental pollution. The response surfaces of the target function - the efficiency of landfill gas extraction in different countries and their two-dimensional cross-sections in the planes of influence parameters are constructed, which allow you to visually display the obtained dependence and the nature of the simultaneous influence of several factors on the target function.

Self-education as a leading trajectory for training finalists of the second All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence for schoolchildren
Authors: Trubina I. I.
Published: November 2023

The article presents the analysis of survey of finalists of the second All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence for schoolchildren, held in the fall of 2022. The hypothesis of the study was the assumption of the leading role of self-education of schoolchildren in the field of studying intellectual technologies at the present stage.

Analyzing the answers of the finalists, we determined that basic knowledge in four subjects of the general education cycle (mathematics, computer science, physics, and English) forms the basis for self-education in the process of preparation for the Olympiad. When solving new tasks for oneself, along with the assimilation of concepts and generalized methods of action, the student changes, transforming into a subject of educational activity.

We have formed a rating of factors that helped the finalists in preparing for the finals of the Olympiad. The finalist’s awareness of their educational preferences allows them to build cognitive strategy, which is understood as the fulfillment of a specific set of tasks and a sequence of aimed at achieving an educational goal. The success of the self-educational trajectory is ensured by the observance of three principles of its implementation: obtaining high-quality subject knowledge, transforming the Olympiad finalist into a subject of educational activity, and building an individual strategy of self-determination.
About two indicators of the school digital renewal process
Authors: Uvarov A. Yu. , Vodopian G. M.
Published: November 2023

The indicators of the process of digital technologies introduction (school digital renewal indicators) widely used today successfully capture the innovative processes that occur at the initial stages (levels) of digital renewal. At the stages of mature informatization and digital transformation, the changes associated with the expansion of the traditional classroom system and the transition to personalized and competency-based learning organization come to the fore.

The authors propose two indicators that capture changes in the chronotope of study work and the teaching individualization level. The proposed indicators allow to reflect the dynamics of changes at the final stages of digital renewal. The use of school portals, which are being introduced at the final stages of digital renewal, provides conditions for assessing changes in the proposed indicators using digital traces, without contacting (surveys, questionnaires) the educational process participants.

The development of bases, methods, and tools for calculating the proposed indicators is of theoretical and practical interest for solving the problems of managing the digital renewal of education at the final stages of this process.

Стаття присвячена аналізу та узагальненню сучасних соціально-культурних проблем управління якістю на підприємствах готельного та ресторанного бізнесу в різних країнах світу. Проаналізовано наукові праці, в який висвітлено результати досліджень зарубіжними вченими різних аспектів та проблем розвитку сучасної індустрії туризму та гостинності під впливом соціально-культурних факторів. Особливу увагу надано дослідженням, що стосуються забезпечення якості послуг гостинності в мультикультурному середовищі. Проаналізовано дві основні групи соціально-культурних проблем управління якістю на підприємствах індустрії гостинності – пов'язаних із очікуваннями та потребами гостей та пов’язаних із управлінням персоналом в мультикультурному середовищі. Розроблено структурну схему, що висвітлює згадані проблеми. Виокремлено низку соціально-культурних аспектів, які потрібно враховувати з метою забезпечення ефективного функціонування систем управління якістю на підприємствах індустрії гостинності, зокрема різні очікування гостей; мультикультурність сучасного кадрового потенціалу; наявність культурних стереотипів; складну взаємодію процесів регіоналізації і глобалізації; різні концепції часу та стилі спілкування, релігійну та етичну чутливість, звичаї та традиції різних суспільних груп і країн; законодавчі та регуляторні проблеми; мовні бар’єри та ін. Зроблено висновок про те, що розвиток сучасної індустрії гостинності буде залежати від здатності успішно інтегрувати найкращі світові практики з місцевими особливостями, створюючи динамічний асортимент культурно насичених і високоякісних послуг.
DEFINING THE ROLE OF BANK GUARANTEES IN THE SYSTEM OF ENSURING THE PAYMENT OF CUSTOMS DUTIES UNDER THE COMMON TRANSIT PROCEDURE
Authors: Рац Ольга , Алфімова Анжеліка
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the topical issues of ensuring the payment of customs duties when goods are placed in the common transit regime, given that the Convention on the Common Transit Procedure will enter into force in Ukraine in 2022. The formation and development of the legislative framework for regulatory and legal regulation of ensuring the fulfilment of customs obligations are investigated. The level of interest of various stakeholder groups in the concepts of “bank guarantee” and “common transit” for 2019-2023 is determined by building trend line models for diagrams of the distribution of search queries. The most appropriate option for obtaining a guarantee service from such financial service providers as a bank, an insurer and a financial company is determined based on three criteria: the right to issue a general guarantee, the cost of the guarantee service, and the stability of functioning in the financial services market.
ОСНОВНІ ПРОБЛЕМИ ЕВОЛЮЦІЇ КІБЕРНЕТИКИ ТА КОМП’ЮТЕРНИХ НАУК

Published: November 2023

У статті проаналізовано проблеми еволюції кібернетики й інформатики. Подано короткий історичний аналіз цієї проблеми. Сюди входить абак, перуанська вузликова система рахунку Кіпу. Відзначається роль Блеза Паскаля й Вільгельма Ляйбніца у створенні основ інформатики. Наступним етапом у розвитку інформатики стали дослідження Чарльза Беббіджа й леді Ади Лавлейс. Саме Ада Лавлейс ініціювала процедуру створення програмування. Поняття кібернетики як управління кораблями виникло в Греції. У 19 столітті воно сформульовано як наука про управління Ф.-М. Ампером і Б. Трентовським. Його завершив Н. Вінер, згідно з яким кібернетика – це наука про управління живим і неживим світом. Пізніше кібернетика стала основою обчислювальної техніки. У її надрах розширено теорію автоматичного регулювання та сформульовано основи сучасної теорії інформації. Як показав Ф. Джордж, кібернетика є синтетичною наукою, яка включає низку наук, необхідних для розв’язання відповідної проблеми. Проведено дослідження щодо розвитку апаратної бази сучасної кібернетики й інформатики: від камінчиків, вузликів і кісток до сучасних оптоелектронних систем. Сучасна інформатика має дещо ширше значення за визначенням Н. Вінера. Основним завданням сучасної інформатики є формалізація тези канадського філософа Л. Холла: «Усе, що йде від голови, є розумним». При цьому поряд з елементарною базою значного розвитку набуло програмування. Поряд із вузькопрофільними мовами програмування (Fоrtran, Pascal) створені мови системного програмування C, С++ і міжієрархічного програмування (Python). Значно змінилася і структура комп’ютерних наук. Подальший розвиток комп’ютерних систем, очевидно, пов’язаний зі скороченням часу і спрощенням процедури отримання необхідної інформації. Також обговорюються можливі шляхи її реалізації.
