Internal audit in customs administrations
Authors: Glazkova G. V.
Published: April 2023

In recent years, in our country, as well as throughout the rest of the modern world, global changes are taking place driven by the development of high-tech platforms that ensure the sustainable development of various sectors of activity, including public services. There has also been a major, large-scale reform of the system of customs authorities that was carried out with the concentration of customs control in the centers of electronic declaration.

   The aim of the study is to analyze the role of digitalization processes and the use of modern customs technologies, which require the development of new competencies, skills in conducting operations within the framework of a process approach, identifying risks of violation of customs legislation, etc., in the context of performing various customs functions, separating documentary and factual control.

   These changes require an increase in the efficiency of management and development of internal audit in the customs authorities. The article proposes approaches to setting the latter, developing a methodology for its implementation, taking into account strategic changes in the conditions of customs administration. the methodological basis of the work was a systematic approach, a method for analyzing existing customs control processes, collecting facts, analyzing professional and ethical standards, structural and functional modeling, and comparing with digitalization processes. When substantiating specific proposals, special methods were used: observation, comparison, the method of expert assessments. The study resulted in a methodological substantiation of an integrated and complex approach to the organization and implementation of internal audit in the customs authorities, the purpose and functions of which are in many respects similar for both business entities and those providing public services. The article reflects the author’s attempt to combine the possibilities of using digital technologies that increase the efficiency of the provision of this type of the service and create an effective management system within the customs service.

Viejas prácticas, nuevos discursos sobre el ejercicio paterno. Estudio de caso: Instituto Politécnico Nacional (México)
Authors: Guzman Oscar Iván Godinez
Published: April 2023

Los estudios de género, desde la perspectiva de las masculinidades, han sugerido que, aunque existe una retórica favorable en los hombres en relación a cambios significativos en torno al ejercicio de los padres; paralelamente, aún existen prácticas y narr ativas que distan mucho de romper con el modelo tradicional de masculinidad y paternidad en un contexto como el mexicano; y de manera particular, lo que acontece en el Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN ). El instituto ha realizado importantes esfuerzos para estructurar una política integral a favor de la igualdad de género, fomentando una cultura de corr esponsabilidad y equidad entre mujeres y hombres en su comunidad en relación con el trabajo doméstico reproductivo y no remunerado. Esta propuesta hace visibles las formas en que los trabajadores de IPN viven y ejercen su paternidad, concibiendo esto como un ejercicio complejo y diverso, respondiendo a un modelo donde predominan los valores de una masculinidad hegemónica que limita los discursos, prácticas y escenarios que favorezcan el involucramiento y participación activa de los hombres como una vía para garantizar la igualdad de género.
Las representaciones sociales de la migración ecuatoriana en el cine de ficción entre 2001 y 2011
Authors: Torres Grijalva Luis
Published: April 2023

En el año de 1999, Ecuador afrontó una de las peores crisis económicas de su historia, la cual detonó una oleada migratoria sin precedentes. Se estima que, durante este periodo, más de un millón de ecuatorianos dejaron el país buscando una mejor suerte en destinos como España, Italia y Estados Unidos. A la par de este fenómeno social, la cinematografía nacional vivía una verdadera revolución, gracias al desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías, entre otros factores. Este nuevo cine ecuatoriano del siglo XXI no pudo quedarse ajeno a un fenómeno tan impactante como la migración y lo incluyó de manera natural en sus narrativas, como si se tratase de un testimonio social. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo principal, precisamente, evidenciar cuáles fueron esas representaciones del fenómeno migratorio, producto de la crisis económica de 1999, presentes en los largometrajes de ficción de la década posterior.

Optimal Control of Mathematical Model of Diphtheria Spreading
Authors: Amalia Putri , Toaha Syamsuddin
Published: April 2023

This article examines optimal control model for the spread of diphtheria disease. Diphtheria is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae. This model is divided into six compartments, namely population of susceptibles (𝑆), population of latent (L), population of infected with symptoms (Is), population of infected without symptoms (Ia), population of recovered with full immunity (Rf) and population of recovered with partial immunity (Rp). Two optimal controls are applied in the model, namely vaccination and treatment. The problem of optimal control is solved by using Pontryagin's minimal principle, which consists in solving a set of necessary conditions that must be satisfied by the optimal control and its associated state. The numerical method used to solve the optimal control problem is the forward-backward sweep method. Based on the results of numerical simulations, both controls should be administered in large numbers and continuously since the beginning of observation in order to reduce the number of diphtheria infected population and to control the spread of diphtheria.

Authors: Melissa Margaretha Madha , Krisnamurti Cyrenia Novella
Published: April 2023

This study aims to describe students’ mistakes in solving number theory’s problem. In this study, error analysis, especially on the topic of Diophantine equations and Chinese remainder theorem. This type of research is qualitative research. The subjects of this study were 46 students of mathematics education at Sanata Dharma University. The data collection technique used a test. The data were analyzed to determine errors in doing number theory problems using the type of error according to Newman. According to Newman, five types of errors are reading, comprehension, transformation, process skill, and encoding errors. The conclusion of this study showed that the most errors made were related to process skill errors and transformation errors, while only a few experienced comprehension and encoding errors. None of the students made reading error.This shows that students already understand the meaning of the problem, but when changing and looking for solutions to problems an error occurs. The factors that may cause this error are a lack of understanding of the concept of the Diophantine equations and Chinese remainder theorem, as well as a lack of problem practice.

Os Desafios da Confiabilidade da Informação na Produção Colaborativa de Conteúdos: análises na Wikipédia, a Enciclopédia Livre
Authors: Braz Sandrine Cristina de Figueirêdo , Souza Edivanio Duarte de
Published: April 2023

A produção colaborativa tornou-se uma das características mais marcantes da sociedade em rede, dada a possibilidade e a facilidade com que os usuários podem produzir conteúdos e informações. O fato da colaboração nivelar especialistas e amadores naquela produção contribui para que os conteúdos produzidos nessa modalidade sejam questionados, sobretudo, quanto à confiabilidade e à validade dos mesmos. Com bases nesses pontos, este artigo faz uma análise dos elementos que indicam a confiabilidade das informações da Wikipédia, a Enciclopédia Livre. A pesquisa realizada foi empírica, com abordagem qualitativa, tendo como técnica a Análise de Conteúdo (AC). Os resultados alcançados evidenciam que a produção colaborativa de conteúdos na Wikipédia está relacionada a indicadores de confiabilidade que convergem elementos de fontes de informações impressas e digitais.  No entanto, o maior desafio dessa fonte de informação é explicitar ainda mais quais são e onde se encontram esses elementos. Os indicadores de confiabilidade das fontes de informação da web, mais precisamente da produção colaborativa, têm a possibilidade de estarem constantemente sendo atualizados, o que é providencial para a confiabilidade das informações.

Essas conversações online paralelas ao evento caracteriza um novo canal informal da Comunicação Científica, o backchannel. O fenômeno é apresentado através do estudo de caso da atividade online por meio do Twitter em torno da 4ª Conferência Luso-Brasileira sobre Acesso Aberto (CONFOA), realizada em São Paulo em outubro de 2013. A análise dos resultados do monitoramento da hashtag #CONFOA2013 mostra que o Twitter atua como um backchannel eficiente, contribuindo na disseminação e replicação de conteúdos de eventos científicos, ampliando sua visibilidade e seu alcance.
Cinco Leis da Biblioteconomia / Cinco Leis de Ranganathan: resistindo bravamente ao tempo
Authors: Pereira de Sousa Maria Eliziana , Targino Maria das Graças
Published: April 2023

Discutem-se as “Cinco Leis da Biblioteconomia” ou Cinco Leis de Ranganathan e suas implicações para as bibliotecas, unidades de gestão da informação e ambientes que propiciem a geração e o desenvolvimento de novos conhecimentos. O indiano Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan, ao formular suas Leis, ainda em 1928 – os livros são para usar; a cada leitor seu livro; a cada livro seu leitor; poupe o tempo do leitor; a biblioteca é um organismo em crescimento – preconiza que as bibliotecas existem para suprir as demandas sociais. Sob esta perspectiva, as referidas leis, publicadas, pela primeira vez, em 1931, sob o título “Five Laws of Library Science”, persistem atuais, haja vista que as bibliotecas são sempre instituições sociais. Transcorridos mais de 80 anos, os cinco preceitos resistem ao tempo. Persistem como essenciais para quem consegue visualizar, na Biblioteconomia, chance inigualável de exercer a cidadania e lutar pelo acesso universal, oportunizando aos cidadãos informações compatíveis às suas demandas informacionais. Trata-se de paper de cunho resultante de pesquisa bibliográfica com o objetivo macro de constatar o nível de atualidade e de legitimidade das referidas normas que comprovam ser a sociedade a única meta que justifica a Biblioteconomia como profissão. Isto porque o domínio de fluxo informacional contínuo e inesgotável que caracteriza o século XXI não altera a função social indelével da instituição biblioteca, sobretudo, em se tratando das bibliotecas físicas que sobrevivem como realidade ao lado das bibliotecas eletrônicas digitais e virtuais.
Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar’ın Eserlerinden Türkçe Sözlük’e Katkılar
Authors: YASTI Mehmet
Published: April 2023

İletişim kurma ve anlaşma aracı olan dilin en hızlı değişen unsuru söz varlığıdır. Milletlerin tarihsel süreç içinde geçirdiği toplumsal, kültürel değişim ve gelişimini, inançlarını, dünyaya bakış açılarını yazılı eserlerin söz varlığından ve sözcüklere yükledikleri anlamlardan tahmin etmek mümkündür. Bu bağlamda belli bir dönem ve sahanın söz varlığını toplu biçimde içine alan sözlükler dilin zenginliğini göstermesi bakımından önemli kaynaklardır. Sözlükler dildeki değişme ve gelişmelere göre zaman içinde ve çeşitli şekillerde zenginleştirilmeye açık eserlerdir. Sözlüklerin söz varlığının zenginleştirilmesi için yazar ve şairlerin edebi eserlerinin sadeleştirilmemiş, yazıldığı dönemin dil hususiyetlerini muhafaza eden şekillerinin taranması yöntemlerden biridir. Bu tarama yöntemiyle sadece yazar ve şairin üslûbu, dili kullanış biçimi değil, dönem itibariyle sözlüklerde yer almayan sözcükleri ve sözcük türetme şekillerini de ortaya çıkarmak mümkündür. 20. yüzyıl Türk edebiyatının önde gelen romancılarından biri olan, İstanbul ve çevresinin renkli ve hareketli yaşam biçimlerini, âdetlerini, inançlarını hayal gücünün zenginliği ile akıcı bir dille işleyen Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar’ın eserlerinin söz varlığı bu bağlamda ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışmada Gürpınar’ın orijinal dilinden Latin harflerine aktarılan Hayattan Sayfalar, Şeytan İşi, Kadınlar Vaizi, İffet, Şık, Gulyabani, Mezarından Kalkan Şehit, Billur Kalp adlı eserleri taranmış, bu eserlerde tespit edilen ve Türkçe Sözlük’te yer almayan sözcükler, deyimler incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma ile yazarın eserlerinde tespit edilen sözcükleri literatüre tekrar kazandırmak amaçlandığı gibi yazarın sözcük türetme olanakları ve yöntemleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.
Tasavvufî Şiirin Özü: Mana
Authors: IŞIK BAĞRIAÇIK Yeşim
Published: April 2023

Batı’da ortaya çıkan modern düşünce ve ideolojilerin İran’a nüfuz etmeye başlamasıyla klasik dönem şiiri eleştirilere maruz kalmıştır. Modern İran şiirinin oluşma sürecinde birçok şair ve yazar, Batı menşeli modern düşüncelerin etkisiyle İran şairlerini, şiirlerinde anlam ve içeriğe kıymet vermedikleri gerekçesiyle eleştirilmiştir. Klasik dönem İran şiirinde genellikle şiirin şekilsel özelliklerinin ön planda olduğu doğru olsa da şiirin anlam dünyası görmezden gelinmemiştir. Özellikle dinî ve tasavvufî şiirlerde şairler halkı bilgilendirmeye, ahlâkî anlamda insanları iyiye ve doğruya ileten eserler kaleme almaya özen göstermişlerdir. Öncelikle nesir olarak kaleme alınan dinî-tasavvufî eserler Farsça hikmetli şiirin oluşmasına zemin hazırlamış ve zamanla ahlâkî konular şiirin asli konularından biri haline gelmiştir. Gerek sûfî geleneğine bir tekkeye bağlanarak aktif bir şekilde katılan gerekse tasavvufî öğretiye gönülden bağlı olan şairler şiirlerinde şekilden çok manaya önem vermişlerdir. Şiirin şekli özelliklerini de göz ardı etmeyen bu şairlerin şiiri “düşünce ve inançlarını ifade etmede bir araç olarak algıladıkları” söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada İslâmî öğretiyi merkeze alarak şiirlerinde dinî ve ahlâkî konulara yer veren ve halka rehberlik eden klasik dönem İranlı şairlerin; Senâî-i Gaznevî, Ferîdüddin Attâr Nişâbûrî, Sa‘dî-i Şîrâzî, Mevlânâ Celâleddîn-i Rûmî ve Şemseddin Muhammed Hâfız-ı Şîrâzî’nin, şiirlerinden örnekler verilerek manaya verdikleri önem gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır. Çalışmanın kapsamı tarafımızdan ismi anılan şairlerle sınırlandırılmıştır, bu yüzden sadece söz konusu şairlerin şiire bakış açılarının yanı sıra şiirlerinden örnekler verilecektir.

A proposal of risk indicators for pathological development from hemodynamic simulation: application to aortic dissection
Authors: Wenyang Pan , Pascale Kulisa , Benyebka Bou-Saïd , Mahmoud El Hajem , Serge Simoëns , Monica Sigovan
Published: April 2023

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the industrialized world. Among these diseases, aortic dissection affects the aorta wall and is a surgical emergency with a low survival rate. This pathology occurs when an injury leads to a localized tear of the innermost layer of the aorta. It allows blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall, forcing the layers apart and creating a false lumen. Endovascular treatment seeks to obliterate the entrances to the false lumen with a covered stent. There are very few studies on the postoperative demonstration of blood flow phenomena in the aortic dissection endovascular treatment. It is crucial to study the hemodynamics of blood in the aorta after an intervention because the new geometrical configuration of the aorta with a stent leads to modifications in blood flow. For the surgeons, the procedure can only be performed empirically, using MRI-4D images to view the postoperative flow of the patient’s blood in the aorta with the stent. This paper aims to present a numerical tool developed from the open-source software FOAM- Extend®, allowing for multiphysics numerical simulations. Using MRI data, a bio-faithful model of the patient-specific case was built. Numerical simulations were performed to predict preoperative and postoperative (endovascular treatment) hemodynamics. The modifications of the flow in the aorta were analyzed focusing on the postoperative perfusions. The results were compared with the corresponding MRI data and have a good qualitative agreement. Biomarkers are calculated to localize possible zones of post-operative pathological developments and recommendations may be suggested to the surgeons.
Attitudes About Cryptocurrency Incentives for Research Participation
Authors: Ugarte Dominic Arjuna , Young Sean
Published: April 2023

It is essential to continually assess and find new ways to recruit and retain participants for research studies. Cryptocurrency is growing in popularity and may be a novel way to incentivize research participants. 100 participants, 50 of whom already had a cryptocurrency wallet and 50 of whom did not have a cryptocurrency wallet, were recruited through Facebook ads and completed a survey that asked about their experience with cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and potential interest in use of it for compensating research participants. The majority of respondents (79%) had some experience with cryptocurrency and 85% said they were comfortable trading cryptocurrency. Many participants had exchanged cryptocurrency within the past month (62%) and over their lifetime (70%). Respondents, however, were less familiar with NFTs, with only half having some experience with them. 18% of those without a cryptocurrency wallet and 42% of those with a cryptocurrency wallet chose to be compensated by cryptocurrency and NFT. Results suggest that, although cash and gift card incentives are preferred, there is an interest in cryptocurrency and NFTs. More studies will need to be done on a larger sample size and some of the challenges discussed (like cryptocurrency volatility) need to be addressed.
Cost Comparison of Different Types of Formworks
Authors: Devi Kiran , Yadav Tushar
Published: April 2023

Formwork is the temporary moulds in the construction which are fabricated based on drawing and design of the structure and into which the concrete is poured to form the required structure. Formwork is an essential part of the construction as it has been in used by the Romans. The formworks must be strong enough to withstand all types of the loads. The joint must be in proper conditions to avoid any kind of leakages. The materials used for the formworks should be economical, easily available and durable. The formworks can be made up of different materials such as plywood, steel, aluminum, composite material etc. In Steel formwork the plates used for the slab support are made up of galvanized steels and these are fabricated as per the requirements. Aluminum plates are used in the aluminum framework along with the other components made up of aluminum. The selection of the suitable framework is important in any project because it bears about 25 to 30% cost of total cost of construction. In the present study, different types of formworks such as steel, plywood and aluminum were studied in a project and a comparison was made on the reusability and easiness in handling and maintenance. Also, comparison for the formwork used in construction of 5th and 11th floor tower based on the specific plan and drawing was done. The results showed that the aluminum formwork was found to be efficient and suitable among all formworks, although the cost was higher compared to other formwork’s materials.

Authors: Bello Mohammed Alhaji , Abba Halima Mohammed , Mohammed Umar
Published: April 2023

Farmers are eager to know the various types of weeds in paddy fields. This will help in choosing the best weed management practice for effective weed control as well as reducing rice yield losses. The objectives of the study are to identify the weeds species affecting the rice field, to assess the composition of weeds species, to classify the weed species into different families, genera, species, common names, Hausa names, lifecycles, life forms, native/exotic species, propagation and uses, and to determine the dominant weed species. Random vegetation surveys were conducted. Weeds observed were photographed, and prepared as herbarium specimens. Standard key manuals and checklists were utilized for weed identification and later organized using the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) classification system. A total number of 72 plants species distributed within 16 families and 50 genera were inventoried. The annuals (66.67%) were the dominant weed followed by perennials (33.33%) while biennials were the least. The broad leaves were the dominant weed (44.61%) identified followed by Poaceae (27.7%) and Sedges (11.11%). Results obtained from this study could be useful in choosing the best management practice and in making a decision on the choice of herbicides and directing research towards improved weed control measures.

Published: April 2023

Spiegel's hernia is a pathology of rare prevalence and represents less than 0.1% of abdominal wall hernias that corresponds to the protrusion of ́ a peritoneal sac through an acquired or congenital orifice of Spiegel's semi-lunar line. Diagnosis often proves difficult given its peculiar location that is unfamiliar to most primary care physicians in the emergency department. It is often diagnosed at the stage of complication thus making l ́strangulation a circumstance of discovery and then exposing to the sometimes serious consequences of diagnostic delay. We report the case of a 25-year-old man who had presented with the appearance of a painful swelling of the left iliac fossa. The morphological examination was in favor of a left spiegel hernia and the surgical exploration showed a hernia sac with epiploic content without any sign of pain.
Advancements and challenges in achieving fully autonomous self-driving vehicles
Authors: Venkata Satya Rahul Kosuru  , Ashwin Kavasseri Venkitaraman
Published: April 2023

This article presents a review and analysis of the prospects of achieving full-length autonomous driving, a concept that has long been a dream of humans. Although the automotive industry has made significant progress in many areas, creating fully automated vehicles (level 5) has remained a challenge. This paper examines some companies that are already racing to achieve this feat, such as Tesla, Google's Waymo, and Uber, and the challenges they face, such as ensuring safety and reliability while also dealing with complex and expensive technology. The article highlights the issues that must be addressed when discussing fully automated vehicles, such as legal and regulatory frameworks, public acceptance, and cybersecurity. The current generation of autonomous vehicles has not yet passed road tests, which raises questions about the feasibility of creating and being able to use fully automated vehicles in the near future. Despite the challenges, the article suggests that the high level of technological development implies that fully autonomous vehicles will become a reality someday. The author concludes that while we may not see fully autonomous driving cars on our roads soon, the progress being made in the field is promising, and we may expect to see these vehicles become a common sight on our roads in the future.

Published: April 2023

Heavy metals are one of the components that threaten human health and the ecosystem the most among the components of air pollution, which has become a global problem. Sulfur, an important air pollutant, is not only a serious threat to human health at high concentrations, but also extremely dangerous for the ecosystem and constitutes a significant part of the pollutant load in many cities. Therefore, monitoring the change of sulfur pollution in the air is very important. In this study, the usability of Cedrus atlantica annual rings was investigated in observing the change in sulfur pollution in the air. Within the scope of the study, samples taken from a Cedrus atlantica tree grown in Düzce, one of Europe's 5 most polluted cities, were analyzed, and the change of sulfur concentration from the past to the present was investigated. As a result of the study, the highest concentrations were obtained in the outer bark and north direction. In addition, it has been found that there has been a substantial increase in sulfur pollution in recent years.
Reproduction of Unregistered Polygamous: Unregistered Marriage Services and Marriage Simplication
Authors: Faisal Ahmad
Published: April 2023

This research presents an analysis of the phenomenon of unregistered polygamy reproduction that occurs in the region of Gorontalo. The research recognizes the issue as being counter-productive to the government's efforts to regulate the administration of citizens' marriages. To gain a deeper understanding of the problem, a qualitative research method was employed, incorporating aspects of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that unregistered polygamy is rising due to sociological and epistemological factors, such as the availability of unrecorded marriage services and a simplified view of avoiding adultery. Therefore, he increasing unregistered polygamy reproduction is not caused by strict government regulations or difficult official agency services but more due to pragmatic and simplistic reasons. However, this trend of unregistered polygamy will persist unless addressed through education, advocacy, socialization, and correction efforts.

Published: April 2023

In this paper, a supervised machine-learning (ML) method to remove artifacts and noise from borehole images is described. Borehole images may exhibit a variety of issues and artifacts due to reasons such as environmental and thermal noise, imperfect calibration, and current leakage through the tool body. Methods that are currently employed to improve these images are based on traditional signal-processing techniques. Although these methods are capable of removing the artifacts in images and significantly improving image quality, they have some drawbacks as well. These drawbacks include not being entirely suitable for real-time implementation and issues with reproducibility. The alternative method presented here is based on an ML algorithm that is trained using a data set pairing raw data with data processed using a traditional signal-processing-based approach. The resulting ML model is capable of being implemented in near-real time. Furthermore, the application of the algorithm does not require user supervision, increasing the reproducibility of the results.

Sonic well logs provide critical information to calibrate seismic data and support geomechanical characterization. Advanced subsurface data analytics and machine learning enable new methods and workflows for property estimation, regression, and classification for geoscience and subsurface engineering applications. However, current applications for imputation of well-logging values rely only on model accuracy and low error predictions. T raditional model validation techniques are not enough to validate models and account for the substantial uncertainty in the subsurface. Well-logging imputation estimates and their associated uncertainty models are essential to the field development planning and decision-making workflows, such as reservoir modeling, volumetric resource assessment, predrill prediction with uncertainty, remaining resource mapping, and production allocation. When performing subsurface feature imputation with machine learning, we must expand our machine-learning model training and complexity tuning workflows to check the entire uncertainty model to ensure uncertainty distributions are precise and accurate. We propose a workflow that integrates the goodness metric to calculate accurate and precise uncertainty models of sonic well-log predictions based on ensembles of the machine-learning estimates. Our workflow combines model evaluation and visualization of the estimates and the uncertainty model with respect to measured depth. Our proposed method provides intuitive diagnostics and metrics to evaluate estimation accuracy and uncertainty model goodness.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to determine the identification of acid-bases with natural indicators. This, is done because acid-base testing uses a lot of litmus paper. In dragon fruit extract and turmeric extract, there is a more concentrated color pigment content to determine the acid-base concentration. So we want to increase its sensitivity to detecting acid- bases. The method used in this study is experimental. The results of the study can be used to assist the public in knowing the benefits of dragon fruit and turmeric to detect acid-base solutions.

The Influence of the Socionic Characteristics of a Pilot on the Features of Perception and Interpretation of Displayed Flight Instrument Information
Authors: Arinicheva O. A. , Malishevsky A. V.
Published: April 2023

The article continues a series of papers by the authors of the results of the study on perception and interpretation by a pilot of visual information provided by flight instruments. The data presented refer to experiments conducted in 2021–2022 with a sample of 50 cadet pilots. According to V. A. Sychev, the wellknown aviation professor, in the piloting technique, perceptual errors are most common. Among many flight instruments important for piloting an aircraft, there is one whose influence on the «Loss of control in-flight» (LOC–I) problem is the greatest – this is the attitude indicator. Several catastrophes are associated with perceptual errors of the readings of attitude indicators. One of the most tragic accidents of this kind was the crash near Perm on September 14, 2008, of a Boeing‑737 aircraft.The paper presents the results of a comparative study carried out to identify individual differences in perception and interpretation by tested cadet pilots of the roll indications on the attitude indicator with the «inside-out» and «outside-in» display options. During task performance, the participants were presented with a sequential series of images in the form of slides with roll indications of the attitude indicator with different display options. The experiment was carried out using a stationary Eye Tracker Tobii REX device. The analysis and processing of the data obtained was carried out using a special computer software developed by A. P. Plyasovskikh at the All-Russian scientific Research Institute of Radio Equipment. The participants to the experiment underwent also psychodiagnostics using Keirsey and MM‑1 socionic tests. Results were subject to mathematical processing with correlation analysis and G-sign test.The arguments given by some authors in favour of the «outside-in» version of the indication were fully confirmed since the number of errors when determining the side of the roll on the «inside-out» display of the attitude indicator turned out to be seven times higher than on the «outside-in» display. The hypothesis that socionic characteristics are predictors of the pilot’s correct perception and interpretation of visual instrumental information has not been confirmed. It is possible that the absence of significant correlations was also influenced by the significant uniformity in the socionic characteristics of the surveyed persons.
