Transformations of Digital to Analogue – Children Bringing Popular Culture Artefacts and Media into Swedish School-Age Educare
Authors: Wallner Lars , Jansson Magnus
Published: January 2025

This article explores children’s use of digital popular culture as boundary objects, and the transmedial boundary work done in Swedish school-age educare (SAEC) centres. As children bring their experiences of digital media into everyday SAEC practices, they influence, and are influenced by, others around them, children as well as adults. Through field observations conducted in a Swedish SAEC centre in southern Sweden, we collected ethnographic field data, together with two groups of children in Years 2–3 (aged 8–9) and staff. In total, 47 children and 7 staff members took part in the study. Using Star and Griesemer’s (1989) theory on boundary objects, we analyse how children’s digital popular-cultural interests are brought into, and made relevant to, SAEC practice. The results show that children’s use of digital media is transformed in SAEC activities into analogue content – drawing, dancing, etc. – and that these activities are ways for children to establish social relations by displaying and sharing their interests. These results have impact for the continued development of extended education, the use of digital media and its value for SAEC, as well as teachers’ ongoing practice.

Authors: Mykhidenko Marta
Published: January 2025

This article is devoted to the study of international experience in the development of suburban areas of the largest cities, using the example of countries such as the United States of America, Great Britain and Germany. The article considers various examples of project implementation, approaches and strategies for achieving a comfortable environment and sustainable development. Both successful and not very successful projects for the formation of suburban areas of large cities and megalopolises, which in terms of population correspond to the largest (definition from state building codes) Ukrainian cities, are studied. An analysis of the classification of cities by population between Ukraine, the United States, Britain and Germany is carried out. This study is based on the experience of scientists accumulated over the centuries, modern figures in urban planning, sociology and economists and others are analyzed, and the current situation of suburbs in the zone of influence of large cities and megalopolises is considered. Also, in the study, with the help of theoretical knowledge and practical examples, urban planning terminology is thoroughly disclosed: suburbanization, exurbanization, agglomeration and conurbation; Modern trends are traced: urban sprawl, "new urbanism", monofunctional or mixed use of territories, the boundary of urban growth, patchwork urbanism or patchwork urbanism, the creation of green belts. This article highlights many opportunities for the development of a high-quality environment in suburban areas. The problems that communities began to face after adopting a number of approaches and innovations are also given. Although this study analyzes only three foreign countries, as a result, we received a lot of useful information for the formation and improvement of suburbs of Ukraine. In the future, it is worth analyzing the countries of the Near and Far East, other Western countries and using this knowledge in further scientific works. The study of this topic should help the post-war restoration of the territories of suburban areas of the largest cities of Ukraine, succeed in achieving the goals of sustainable development and serve to improve the quality of life of the population.
Analysis of Domestic Practical Experience in the Formation of Multi-Apartment Housing Development from 1991 to 2010: the Case of Poltava City
Authors: Zosim Stanislav , Nikolaienko Volodymyr
Published: January 2025

The article examines domestic practices of forming commercial and social multi-apartment housing during the period from 1991 to 2010 in the city of Poltava. This research marks the beginning of a comprehensive analysis aimed at exploring the development of multi-apartment housing in market conditions, starting from 1991 until the intensification of military conflict in Ukraine in 2022. The work explores how the housing market transformed under new economic conditions after Ukraine gained independence and the challenges that arose during this time. The article delves into the architectural and planning evolution of housing development over two decades, with particular attention to the specific features of multi-apartment construction in Poltava. It analyzes architectural and compositional principles, volumetric and spatial planning of domestic housing structures, stylistic features of facades, planning trends in apartment layouts, and the level of apartment readiness prior to occupancy. A detailed quantitative analysis of apartment planning solutions is conducted using the transit area method developed by H.I. Lavryk, which offers a new perspective on space efficiency and organization in housing design. Additionally, the article systematically identifies trends and patterns in the formation of multi-apartment housing during the given period. By examining a wide range of housing types, the study explores the evolving approaches to housing design, especially in relation to changes in the economic and social landscape. A new hypothesis is proposed in the article, suggesting a correlation between the coefficient of transit area and the class of housing. This correlation may help to better understand how planning decisions directly impact housing affordability and quality. The article, therefore, offers a foundation for further research into housing policy and design, particularly as it relates to post-independence Ukraine's residential architecture.
BIM as anatomy for a building
Authors: Bilov Vladyslav , Levchenko Oleksii
Published: January 2025

The article highlights the innovative use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a metaphorical "anatomy" of buildings, illustrating how this technology redefines the survey, design, and management of architectural projects. The relevance of this study lies in BIM’s transformational impact on the construction industry, as it creates a detailed and dynamic model that reflects the complexity and interdependence inherent in human anatomical structures. By providing a comprehensive three-dimensional digital representation of a building, BIM allows for a systematic understanding of a structure’s components, functions, and interactions of its elements, similar to how anatomical models enhance the perception of biological systems. The aim of the article is to analyze how BIM provides a detailed, systematic representation of a building’s structure and functions, improving the design, construction, and management processes through an digital model. The results of this study indicate that BIM enhances the design and construction process by improving visualization, coordination, and communication among project stakeholders. It facilitates an in-depth analysis of building performance, enabling better decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. The technology supports accurate modeling, clash detection, and cost estimation, thereby reducing risks and optimizing resource allocation. Integration of loads and impacts, as aspects of operation, to BIM technology allows for ongoing management and maintenance of construction project, reflecting the continuous nature of anatomical systems. The conclusions drawn from this research emphasize that BIM, as an "anatomical" approach, represents a paradigm shift in building design and management. It not only provides a comprehensive functional understanding of building structures but also significantly contributes to increased efficiency in construction projects. By utilizing detailed, integrated BIM models, the construction industry can advance towards more sustainable and coordinated development, which will create a basis for improved quality and performance of construction projects.
Reconception of the early paradigm in the formation of modern sacred space
Authors: Gnatiuk Liliia
Published: January 2025

The article analyzes the changing principles of modern European sacred architecture.
A rethinking of the early paradigm is presented: it is revealed that the monastic orders and liturgical movements that initiated the reforms of the modern Catholic Church were usually inspired by the worship and way of life of the primitive Christian communities. This inspiration lived on after the Second Vatican Council; thus, the spatial and urban heritage of the early centuries shaped the course of European church architecture up to the present day.
The question of resources, which has been completely reevaluated thanks to the new liturgical guidelines of the third millennium, is considered. Instead of utopias, new architectural solutions have appeared that better correspond to the structure of the Liturgy, depict a clearer and more realistic image of Christianity. This modern change has also influenced large-scale planning, especially where new city centers are being formed as open and multifunctional meeting places for different communities. Most examples in Europe prove that the architectural framework of such a religious orientation inevitably generates new social platforms in the urban environment.
It was found that the articulation of the liturgical space, designed as a multifunctional sacred complex, more successfully reveals the dynamics of Christian life.
The opinions of leading theorists of culture are presented. Features characteristic of the culture of the end of the century are represented. The architecture of sacred buildings built according to the principle of engineering science is considered.
The need to take into account the relationship between certain forms and the messages transmitted through them in shaping the sacred space has been revealed.
Intergenerational spaces – space that unites generations: architecture that unites elderly people and children
Authors: Kravchenko Iryna L. , Gershuni Olga
Published: January 2025

The article presents an analytical overview of the concepts and examples of the formation of architecture that unites generations: the elderly and children. According to local specifics, specialist architects from different countries are considering the possibility of such a combination and its reflection in architecture. The information is illustrated with examples of how such a combination of generations is functionally solved with the help of various methods and ways, and it forms a special environment that is both clearly zoned and generally accessible to different age groups of users.
The presented architectural examples and concepts from different countries are connected by the main idea - the most vulnerable groups of the population (children and the elderly) today need special attention, not only in terms of ensuring social, psychological and economic conditions but also an updated approach to creating architectural space to meet the requirements of the present. In the article, several typological combinations (mixed-use) of spaces that unite elderly people and children are outlined:  a public open library and a nursing home, with a function for children in the form of a playground in a common courtyard;  an intergenerational kindergarten with a common greenhouse and cooking areas, in which the presence of a psychological service available to all users enhances the integration component;  a school with a home for the elderly, which is zoned horizontally and has common sports and social areas and a large terrace intended for use by both retired persons and schoolchildren; a community centre - a kindergarten, a school, a sports complex and a nursing home in which each functional group has its block, common areas, and the integrative functional component is a common living room and a covered terrace; a town complex with buildings for the elderly and a kindergarten block has a greenhouse and premises for clubs, which are intended for joint activities of children and the elderly; a conceptual combination of vertical farming ideas with housing for the elderly, a public library and a kindergarten.
Mixed-use architecture seeps into the architectural and organizational structures of institutions that were recently quite strictly standardized and occupied a specific separate niche in architectural typology. It is already clear that such a modern trend is of interest not only to individual communities but is also becoming a special tool that has specific responses to changes in the social structure in difficult demographic, social and economic conditions.

The impact of the Pharmaceutical Law on the pharmacy availability in Poland in 2003-2022
Authors: Proczek Konrad , Świątek Szymon Piotr
Published: January 2025

Przedmiot badań. W 2017 roku polski parlament wprowadził nowelizację ustawy Prawo farmaceutyczne, zmieniając przepisy dotyczące otwierania aptek ogólnodostępnych i punktów aptecznych. Wprowadzone zmiany doprowadziły do znacznego zmniejszenia dostępności aptek poprzez ograniczenie maksymalnej liczby aptek, które może prowadzić jeden właściciel, do czterech. Ponadto nowelizacja nałożyła ścisłe warunki i ograniczenia na właścicieli aptek, co przyczyniło się do pogłębiającego się kryzysu na rynku farmaceutycznym w Polsce.
Cel badań. Celem badania jest analiza różnic w rozmieszczeniu i liczbie aptek oraz farmaceutów w Polsce na przestrzeni lat, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem okresu przed i po zmianach legislacyjnych w 2017 roku.
Materiał i metody. Do przeprowadzenia analizy wykorzystano dane publiczne pochodzące z Banku Danych Lokalnych Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego. Badaniem objęto liczbę aptek, farmaceutów i punktów aptecznych oraz ich zmiany i trendy w latach 2003–2022 dla 380 powiatów w Polsce.
Wyniki. Od 2017 roku aż 80% powiatów w Polsce odnotowało silne lub bardzo silne tendencje spadkowe w liczbie aptek i farmaceutów, podczas gdy jedynie 11% powiatów wykazało tendencje wzrostowe. W 2022 roku średnia liczba aptek i farmaceutów wynosiła odpowiednio 3,5 i 6,5 na 10 000 mieszkańców. Wskaźniki gęstości również uległy pogorszeniu, osiągając średnio 30 farmaceutów na 100 km² oraz 2,35 aptek na 100 km². Liczba farmaceutów przypadających na jedną aptekę spadła z 2,7 w 2017 roku do 2,3 w 2022 roku. Prognozy wskazują, że utrzymująca się tendencja może prowadzić do spadku liczby farmaceutów i aptek o 25% do 2030 roku.
Wnioski. Prawie trzy czwarte polskich powiatów boryka się z wyzwaniami wynikającymi z nowelizacji ustawy Prawo farmaceutyczne z 2017 roku. Na obszarach wiejskich często brakuje wystarczającej liczby aptek i farmaceutów, aby zaspokoić potrzeby mieszkańców. Największa dostępność aptek występuje w stolicach województw, miastach na prawach powiatu oraz w zachodnich regionach Polski. Obostrzenia legislacyjne znacząco wpłynęły na równowagę między obszarami miejskimi a wiejskimi, przy czym regiony wiejskie są szczególnie poszkodowane. Wyniki badań podkreślają konieczność natychmiastowych działań w celu złagodzenia skutków tych zmian, takich jak wprowadzenie zachęt dla farmaceutów w niedostatecznie obsługiwanych regionach, rewizja obowiązujących przepisów w celu zwiększenia elastyczności oraz wdrożenie nowoczesnych rozwiązań, takich jak telefarmacja, w celu zapewnienia równego dostępu do aptek w całym kraju.

Authors: Naufal Muhammad , Al Azies Harun , Brilianto Rivaldo Mersis
Published: January 2025

Classification of brain tumors is a problem in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). This study classifies three classes of brain tumors: gliomas, meningiomas, and pituitary tumors. Image enhancement is useful for improving the quality of images to be recognized by Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems. Gamma correction is one spatial method aimed at manipulating contrast. This method operates with a spatial approach and has relatively low computational time but yields satisfactory results in certain cases. This research compares Gamma Correction with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) in the classification of brain tumor types. The CNN method without Gamma Correction achieves an accuracy of 86.52%, precision of 83.63%, sensitivity of 86.11%, and specificity of 93.27%. The application of Gamma Correction at 1.5 results in improved performance with an accuracy of 88.80%, precision of 86.49%, sensitivity of 88.06%, and specificity of 94.50%. Meanwhile, Gamma Correction at 0.5 shows an accuracy of 88.59%, precision of 87.59%, sensitivity of 86.68%, and specificity of 94.17%. Overall, the implementation of Gamma Correction in the classification of brain tumor types successfully enhances the CNN classification performance in terms of precision, sensitivity, and specificity compared to without its use.
Enhanced Image Security through 4D Hyperchaotic System and Hybrid Key Techniques
Authors: Farandi Muhammad Naufal Erza , Winarno Sri , Fauzyah Zahrah Asri Nur
Published: January 2025

This study develops a digital image encryption method using a 4D hyperchaotic system combined with a hybrid key to maximize data security. By generating a random and uniform pixel distribution, the method makes decryption significantly harder for unauthorized access. Evaluations are conducted through histogram analysis, robustness tests, NPCR, UACI, and information entropy. The findings reveal that the method effectively breaks pixel correlation, rendering the encrypted image unrecognizable. Histogram analysis confirms a uniform pixel distribution, while robustness tests show the system can maintain image quality despite manipulations or attacks. NPCR and UACI tests highlight the method’s high sensitivity to even minor changes in the original image, further enhancing security. Information entropy demonstrates a higher level of randomness compared to other encryption techniques. This 4D hyperchaotic and hybrid key-based approach holds considerable promise for applications requiring highly secure image transmission and storage, ensuring reliable data protection in sensitive environments.
A Recommendation System for University Discussion Committees
Authors: Mundher Zaid , Ahmad Manar Talat
Published: January 2025

One of the topics that have emerged and gained popularity in recent years, due to the extensive availability of data, is recommendation systems. The concept of recommendation systems is based on saving users' time and effort while using the Internet for browsing, shopping, or other web activities. On the other hand, one of the routine tasks that is consistently performed in the academic community is the selection of committees’ members for the defense of master's thesis or doctoral dissertations. These committees are responsible for evaluating the graduate students’ work and assessment of the academic and research efforts. In general, naming discussion committees' members is one of the challenges that used to be solved manually. In this work, a recommendation system was built to propose a discussion committee’s members at Computer Science department in University of Mosul based on a dataset that includes the committees that were previously named. Two methods were introduced, developed, and tested based on content-based recommendation system techniques and cluster-based recommendation system techniques.
Evolution of urea from prebiotic molecule to supramolecular architecture (review)
Authors: Bakibaev A.A.
Published: January 2025

The article shows that urea - as an archetypal prebiotic compound on the one hand, and, reactive oxygen-containing compounds - on the other hand, serve as a basis for the formation of a large repertoire of chemical compounds, which are represented by various acyclic and heterocyclic carbamide-containing substances. Among the urea-containing substances, this paper pays special attention to the use of the prebiotic monomer urea as a starting building block in synthetic organic chemistry, including novel macrocyclic and supramolecular systems. Although most of the urea chemistry experiments performed have been conducted under conditions that are far from prebiotic-like states - some intermediate results of the studies performed open the way on the trajectory of formation of complex nitrogen-containing organic molecules that may emerge from the iterative assembly of urea and reactive components. The proposed work draws considerable attention to various practical applications of acyclic and heterocyclic urea. Among the numerous valuable acyclic and heterocyclic ureas, the most important substances that have found practical applications in human life are highlighted separately. The summarized information on the chemistry and applications of urea indicate its continuous development by convergence of knowledge in chemistry, physics, materials science and medicine.

Impact on Mental Health Problems during Coxsackievirus Outbreak in the General Public: A Review
Authors: Singh Nishtha , Singh Pratishtha , Singh Shraddha
Published: January 2025

Coxsackievirus group B (CVB), a member of the Picornaviridae family and enterovirus genus, poses risks during pregnancy due to its potential to cause severe fetal and neonatal infections. Transmission primarily occurs through fecal–oral routes, with infections peaking mostly in warmer months. Vertical transmission to the fetus can lead to conditions such as myocarditis, encephalitis, and systemic neonatal disease, presenting clinically as severe myocardial syndromes and neurological deficits. Diagnostic challenges include detecting asymptomatic maternal infections and conducting in utero assessments using advanced techniques like RT-PCR from amniotic fluid samples should be encouraged. Morbidity and mortality associated with congenital CVB infections are notable. Current treatments are limited to supportive care, with emerging therapies showing promise but requiring further study for efficacy. Mental health impact due to this virus results in speech development failure and autistic feature. Future research should aim to fill knowledge gaps in epidemiology, improve diagnostic capabilities, and develop targeted interventions to enhance maternal and fetal outcomes and other health issues due to this virus.

Authors:   History of Ukraine of the NAS of Ukraine, Krupyna Viktor
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the study is to determine the reasons and trend of evolution of the system of benefits and privileges of Soviet Ukrainian nomenclature in the 1985–1991, whose existence provoked anger of the public. The research methodology. It consists of general and special scientific methods of investigation which are used for researching nomenclature as a special social group with distribution of power and their own social interests. The scientific novelty of article is connected with applying materials of “Commission for studying privileges of officials of party committee” which clarified their legal status on the 28th Communist party congress requirements. For instance, regional “Information” is used. Other official and private documents are used as well, which explained the reasons and direction of evolution of the nomenclature system of benefits and privileges. Conclusions. Perestroika in Ukraine changed position of the nomenclature. Gorbachev’s intensions to modernise the political system including glasnost’ and pluralism enabled the discussion about the government and nomenclature. When economic reform worsened the welfare of population and led to the increase tension, the benefits and privileges of high-level officials were strongly criticized. The Supreme council launched a revision of the benefits and privileges of the nomenclature. Communist Party apparat was obliged to create their own commissions for revising the benefits and privileges because they had to react to the public reproach. Two commissions were created after the 28th congresses of Communist party of Soviet Union and Communist party of Ukraine. Ukrainian commission under S. Vynokurov gave just evaluation for nomenclature welfare. Social tension and activity of parliament’s opposition forced nomenclature to abolish some benefits and privileges.

When a highway tunnel intersects a fault fracture zone, the excavation process disrupts the surrounding weak and fragmented rock mass, compromising the stability of the fault zone. This study compares the deformation and stress distribution of the surrounding rock using the reserved core soil method, central diaphragm (CD) method, and cross diaphragm (CRD) method during tunnel excavation through fault fracture zones. Among these, the CRD method is identified as the safest construction technique. Additionally, to address the significant deformation of the surrounding rock when tunneling through fault zones, the impact of various pre-support and advance reinforcement techniques on rock mass deformation is analyzed. By comparing the full-ring grouting method with the optimized reinforcement zone approach, the findings demonstrate that optimized grouting significantly reduces disturbance to the fault fracture zone during excavation, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the surrounding rock mass.
The Implications of Recent Developments in Online Artificial Intelligence Apps for Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities
Authors: Patke Rajeev S
Published: January 2025

The recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have produced varied types of global impact over the last year. In that context, one might ask the following questions: (a) why has AI become (bad) news so suddenly? (b) what is the prehistory of present concerns? By way of answering these questions, this essay will, first, discuss the various negative implications of AI and the spread of various applications that use AI for a variety of tasks and functions. It will then narrow its focus to address the more specific negative implications of AI as they are likely to affect Asia as a region with its own specific socio-economic and political matrix for its educational institutions. The focus narrows further to address the likely impact of AI on the Humanities. The third and final part of the essay stands back from the focus on education in Asia to look at two mitigating features of the case: (a) the various checks and balances that are currently being proposed globally regarding how the negative aspects of AI might be controlled, and (b) a consideration of the various ways in which developments in AI could benefit mankind, and more specifically, Humanities education in Asia. Moreover, the essay will also consider the ways in which AI applications are likely to play a central role in how we study, teach, learn, and work in the future. To take stock of what is just round the corner might prepare us better, as individuals, groups and institutions to work with and around rather than against the growth of AI.

Biophilia and Modus Vivendi in Amitav Ghosh's Gun Island: An Ecocritical Study
Authors: Khan Md Imran
Published: January 2025

Based on Amitav Ghosh's novel Gun Island (2019), this article endeavors to depict that the advancing limitless pursuit of desires, anthropocentric customs, and the concept of a 'happy life' are the driving forces behind climate change and ecological degradation. It aims to delineate the disastrous consequences of changing climatic conditions, declining plant and animal life, and their escalating influence on humans and the natural environment. This paper discusses ecocritical theories such as ‘biophilia’ and ‘modus vivendi’ that emphasize the intrinsic correlation between humans and nature on the one hand and, on the other, conflicting coexistence of humans and nature respectively. Furthermore, the paper elucidates the impact of these disastrous consequences on marginalized human existence through an analysis of Ghosh's Gun Island. Ultimately, it aims to illustrate the significant role of human intervention in the global environmental catastrophe during the 17th century, by examining the folktale of Bonduki Sadagar that Ghosh divulges in Gun Island.

Defamiliarizing Privilege: A Journey from Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain’s Sultana’s Dream to Greta Gerwig’s Barbie
Authors: Kabir Sumaiya
Published: January 2025

When Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain published Sultana’s Dream in 1905, it was read as a fantasy, a science fiction, or even a dystopian worldview by some. As I see it, it is an ironic, as well as an iconic defamiliarization of male privilege. Its depiction of “Ladyland” illustrates that women were capable of everything men were capable of, and more. In 2023, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, presents a similar defamiliarization – a presentation of the utopian “Barbie Land”, a world run for the women and by the women. The two discourses have similarities in the sense that they both present a world where women take centre stage – and both make the point that a world run by women would not be less successful than a world run by men. While Sultana’s Dream only presents this world as a possibility, Barbie expands on the concept of “Barbie Land”, by taking its characters on a journey to the “real world”, one that is run by the patriarchy. This journey brings Barbie and Ken to the realization that any world, when it privileges one gender over the other, is an unfair and imbalanced one. This paper aims to compare the two texts in the light of defamiliarization, and analyze the processes by which they problematize the gender inequalities of their contemporary times in both parallel and divergent ways.

Тhe use of minimally invasive treatment methods for internal disorders of the temporomandibular joints (literature review)
Authors:   Bogomolets National Medical University, Kyiv, Ukraine, Kostiuk Tamara , Kostiuk Tetiana ,   Bogomolets National Medical University, Kyiv, Ukraine

Resume. Internal disorders of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) is a general term that unites diseases in which there is a displacement
of the articular disc, its deformation, stretching and destruction of intra-articular ligaments, defects and deformations of the articular disc,
degenerative changes of the articular surfaces, inflammation of the synovial shells, as well as other manifestations of pathological changes
in the capsule apparatus. The prevalence of internal disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is steadily increasing, especially in
people aged 18–45, which reaches 95–98% among all visits to dentists.
The aim of the study is to analyze and evaluate the existing data on the effectiveness of using minimally invasive treatment methods in
patients with internal disorders of the temporomandibular joints based on a detailed analysis of domestic and foreign scientific literary
sources in recent years, that identify the advantages and limitations of choosing complex treatment and substantiate the decision to
choose minimally invasive techniques for patients with internal disorders of the TMJ.
Results and conclusions. Minimally invasive surgery of the temporomandibular joints is mainly represented by three methods of
treatment, to which we include arthroscopy, arthrocentesis and injection of drugs into the joint. The use of minimally invasive methods
for internal disorders of the temporomandibular joints is a priority method of choosing surgical intervention, which is currently actively
used in everyday medical practice. The lack of evidentiary factors for the application of clinical recommendations emphasizes the need
for a detailed scientific study of the treatment algorithm using minimally invasive techniques to improve the individualized treatment
of patients with internal disorders of the TMJ.
Keywords: temporomandibular joints (TMJ), minimally invasive interventions, arthrocentesis, arthroscopy, injection therapy, surgical
dentistry, articular disc.
