IBRD in shaping the architectonics of the global financial system
Authors: CHUGUNOV Igor , KUCHER Galyna
Published: February 2025

The relevance of the research is due to the need to ensure sustainable development and global stability in the context of modern globa­lization challenges by strengthening the finan­cial influence of international institutions. The research is based on the hypothesis of the architectonic formation of the world financial system based on the strengthening of the regulatory influence and financial potential of global financial and credit institutions. A system of scientific methods and approaches was used in the research process. Methods of scientific abstraction, systematicity, and generalization were used to reveal the place and role of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) in ensuring international stability and financing sustainable development. Methods of analysis and synthesis were used to assess the indicators of the financial activity, the effectiveness of project implementation, the size of the financial flows in terms of their impact on international financial stability and ensuring the implementation of sustainable development goals.
The historical features of the creation, adaptive transformations of the development, and IBRD functioning influence on the effec­tiveness of the accumulation and use of its finan­ces. The structure of the Bankʼs share capital was studied. An analysis of its financial resour­ces concerning the Bankʼs lending activities was conducted. A general trend towards an increase in the indicators of gross and net disbursements after 2020 was identified. Factors that influen­ced the indicator of the profit before distribution during 2016–2023 were identified. The enhan­cement of the IBRDʼs financial potential has allowed for funding allocations to support the activities of the International Development Association (IDA), and the formation of general reserve and surplus funds. Analysis of the dynamics and structure of the IBRD balance sheet showed a trend towards growth in total assets, a significant positive impact of invest­ment policy on financial results, and the dynamics of the net investment portfolio indica­tors. The implemen­tation of the IBRD mission is ensured by lending activity and the redistri­bution of financial resour­ces from international markets to member count­ries. The loan portfolio indicators, a gradual decrease in the ratio of equity to loans provided correspond to the Bankʼs policy. As part of the World Bank Group (WBG), the IBRD is actively implementing measures for the adaptive develop­ment of the institution in the face of globalization challen­ges, which led to the formation of a new vision of the mission and initiatives to strengthen international influence institution, improve app­roa­ches to providing financial assistance and increase financial capacity following the adop­ted Strategy for 2020–2025.

Authors: ZOLOTAROVA Oksana , KARAVAYEV Taras , DUGINETS Ganna
Published: February 2025

This research is focused on the evolution of the concept of Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) within the framework of the EU customs system reform in 2023. It was focused on the concept of Trusted and Verified Traders proposed by the reform, which is based on the principles of the AEO program and aimed to further simplify customs procedures, improve transparency and enhance trade security. The hypothesis is that implementing of this concept in Ukraine could additionally simplify customs procedures for Ukrainian foreign economic operators who meet established criteria, as well as improve the efficiency and transparency of customs system management, facilitate Ukrai­neʼs integration into the European economic area, and strengthen economic ties with the EU. Based on an analysis of European legislation and academic literature, it has been found that, while Ukraine already possesses certain prerequisites of implementing the AEO prog­ram­me, it faces challenges, including insufficient integration of information systems and the need to strengthen the institutional capacity of customs authorities. The results of the research indicate that implementing the Trusted and Verified Tradersʼ Concept could expand oppor­tunities for automation and enhance transpa­rency in customs procedures, which is an impor­tant step towards integrating Ukraine into international economic processes

Published: February 2025

The change in the usual management models (Supply Chain Adaptability) in wartime has become a critical necessity to ensure the smooth functioning of the food supply. The adaptability of supply chains allows for a rapid response to changes in demand, market conditions, techno­logical innovations, and in crisis situations. The aim of the research is to develop theoretical and methodological app­roaches to the formation of a business envi­ronment that promotes the creation of adaptive supply chain management models. It is hypothesized that the concepts of "SPOD-world", "VUCA-world", "BANI-world" and ANTIFRAGILE-world influence the formation and adaptation of supply chains, taking into account the complexity, instability and varia­bility of the modern world. The main adaptive models of supply chain management are presen­ted and characterized. It is proved that our proposed concept of ANTIFRAGILE-world, the development of which began in the context of the pandemic and continues under martial law in Ukraine, offers a new approach to supply chain management, where the main focus is on the ability of supply chains that form food retailers to become stronger and more efficient due to stress and change. It is proved that in 2024, Ukrainian retail continues to adapt to the challenges of martial law, economic instability and the development of new technologies. The results of the research are aimed at identifying effective models that ensure the sustainability and efficiency of supply chains of national food retail chains under martial law. The article presents adaptive approaches and models of supply chain management used by retail food chains in Ukraine under martial law, such as: EVA (Emergency and Value-Added) Model, Distri­buted Supply Chain Model, Humanitarian Support Chain, Agile Supply Chain, Real-Time Visibility Model, Local Sourcing Model. Testing the hypothesis reveals the problems of adap­tation and promotes the introduction of inno­vative management approaches

Anthropomorphism and the Anthropocene
Authors: Bergesen Albert J.
Published: February 2025

If humanity can be considered a geological force at war with Earth, can Earth be considered a social force gravitationally imprisoning humanity? The answer is “yes,” and this explains why new concepts and hypotheses are advanced. Among others, these include the idea of the Gravity Wars, anthropomorphism, the anthropocentric picture of humanity as a geological force as the dual face of human vanity, and humanity's collective Stockholm syndrome, evident in its seeing itself as the sole actor in global warming.

Published: February 2025

A significant issue facing humanity now is the ecological disaster as a result of the transformation of natural processes into splintered, unchanging mechanisms designed for individual accumulation. Therefore, we can say that the issue of nature is an issue to the capital. The significant developments in ecosocialist theory cast light upon the ongoing prominence of Marx's metabolic as well as materialist approach to understanding the colloquial swap concerning nature and humans which additionally include the ecological rifts and their creation inside ecosystems. This paper explores the influence of Marx's views on ecological crisis due to capitalism in the literary works of British, American, and Indian poets. The findings of the study indicate Marx's influence on these writers. Besides, this influence of Marx on the literary circle also reflects Marx's ideas as universal and relevant to all fields of all ages.

СИСТЕМА КЕРУВАННЯ ПРОЦЕСОМ УЛЬТРАЗВУКОВОГО ОЧИЩЕННЯ ВИРОБІВ
Authors: CЕЛЮК ДАНІЛ , ШЕВЧЕНКО ВАДІМ
Published: February 2025

Ультразвукове очищення забезпечує можливість якісно очистити деталі в технологічному процесі різних виробництв. Порівняно з іншими видами очищення воно володіє рядом переваг, зокрема високі показники якості отриманих поверхонь, менш токсичні миючі речовини, суттєве зменшення ручної праці. В роботі було розроблено автоматизовану систему для забезпечення процесу ультразвукової обробки деталей. У роботі проведено аналіз літературних джерел стосовно параметрів, які впливають на процес обробки та проаналізовано напрацювання в цій галузі. Систему реалізовано на базі мікроконтролера ESP-32. Для аналізу завершеності процесу очищення було використано два контрольовані параметри - прозорість та провідність розчину. Процес очищення вважався завершеним, якщо ці параметри припиняли змінюватися. Автори провели апаратну реалізацію розробленої системи та розроблено алгоритм її роботи. На початку роботи система проводить перевірку ванни на наявність рідини. Якщо вона відсутня давач провідності покаже нескінченний опір. Далі система очікує 60 секунд та починає процес обробки. Якщо змінюється прозорість рідини, система запускає лічильник, значення якого змінюється, коли змінюється провідність на заданий крок. Якщо лічильник перестає змінюватись, процес зупиняється. Очищення вважається завершеним. Такий метод застосовний як для пластикових так і до металевих деталей. За результатами досліджень встановлено, що наявність мильного розчину суттєво змінює час очищення порівняно з водою, практично на 50%. Проте зміна температури в мильному розчині приводить до зміни швидкості лише на 10%. Зміна температури при використанні звичайної води суттєво впливає на час обробки і скорочує його на 30%. Аналіз результатів показав надійну та точну роботу системи в процесі очищення. В подальшому планується вдосконалити систему контролю додаванням нових вимірювальних величин для надання можливості більш ефективної оптимізації процесу очищення деталей.

The aim of the work is to present modern methods of modeling the level of harmonic distortions and regulatory documentation regulating the permissible levels of harmonic distortions in power networks. One of the main obstacles to the spread of solutions for limiting harmonic distortions was the lack of software products available to a wide range of specialists, which would significantly simplify and speed up the production of relevant calculations and technical solutions. The main research method is practical modeling of the level of harmonic distortions using the Schaffner PQS software package. The evaluation of the obtained results is in accordance with the standards of the IEEE 519-2014 standard. In addition, in order to improve the reception of information, its graphical presentation is proposed. The main results of the research are the implementation of new methods of modeling power networks and obtaining technical solutions in accordance with the IEEE 519-2014 standard. There are also graphic materials available illustrating the impact of harmonic distortions on individual elements of real power networks. This material opens up new possibilities in modeling power networks and assessing the impact of nonlinear receivers on these networks. The use of modern software allows for a significant reduction in the time of performing complex calculations. The availability of ready-made solutions for limiting harmonic distortions in software facilitates the process of creating technical solutions that meet the requirements of the IEEE 519-2014 standard. The use of the tools presented in the work will improve the quality of technical solutions, significantly increase the reliability of electrical systems, reduce electrical energy losses, and increase the efficiency of both design engineers and technical specialists involved in operation.

Дослідження спрямовані на отриманні полімерних плівок на основі модифікованого  крохмалю молочною кислотою у поєднанні з полівініловим спиртом - як основи для ранових пов’язок з пролонгованим вивільненням лікарських препаратів. Об'єктом дослідження стали полімерні плівки на основі модифікованого  крохмалю молочною кислотою у комбінації з полівініловим спиртом. Модифікацію крохмалю проводили розчинами молочної кислоти 0,5 і 1,0 моль/л при температурі 40°С протягом 2,0 години. Для отримання плівок методом поливу з розчину змішували 10% розчини модифікованого крохмалю та полівінілового спирту у співвідношеннях 25:75, 50:50 і 75:25.
Встановлено, що тривалість модифікації та концентрація молочної кислоти впливають на фізико-механічні властивості плівок - збільшення концентрації молочної кислоти сприяє отриманню більш міцних плівок.  Оптимальні механічні властивості та сорбція були отримані для плівок на основі  крохмалю модифікованого 1,0 М розчином молочної кислоти та полівінілового спирту зі співвідношенням 25:75.
 При цьому міцність на розрив становила 7,31 ± 0,2 МПа, а відносне видовження при розриві – 50,16 ± 2,5%. Встановлено, що модифікація крохмалю молочною кислотою дозволяє регулювати здатність плівок поглинати вологу. Варіювання умов модифікації дозволяє регулювати їх властивості, що відкриває широкі можливості для створення матеріалів з різними функціональними характеристиками. Перспективними напрямками подальших досліджень є вивчення біосумісності отриманих матеріалів, а також дослідження їх здатності до пролонгованого вивільнення лікарських засобів.

The issue of improving communication for people with speech impairments is critically important in modern society, where technology can greatly facilitate interaction and integration of such individuals into social processes. Traditional communication methods, such as sign language or written messages, often fail to provide the necessary accuracy and speed of communication, creating barriers in everyday life. Modern technologies, such as large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology, can significantly enhance these processes. They enable the automatic generation of individualized text responses, considering not only the user's query but also the context, making communication more accurate and faster.
The article proposes a method for response generation with retrieval-augmented information search for assistive communication, which integrates relevant information from various sources, including chat history and user profiles. This allows for generating responses that better address the individual needs of each user. The method consists of three stages: context loading, retrieval of relevant information, and generation of multiple response options. A distinctive feature of the proposed method is its ability to consider extensive context and user needs, ensuring high accuracy and personalization of the response.
Experiments conducted demonstrated the method's high efficiency, particularly in the accuracy of responses, which ranged between 85% and 95%. This significantly improves communication for people with speech impairments, reducing social barriers and enhancing the quality of their daily lives.

У цій статті досліджуються можливості великих мовних моделей (ВММ) для автоматизації перетворення математичних тверджень із природної мови у формальні вирази, що спрощує процес пошуку та генерації розв’язань. Завдяки досягненням в області штучного інтелекту, такі моделі як GPT-4 і LLaMA-3 представляють перспективні можливості для вирішення задачі математичної формалізації текстів. Ці моделі демонструють значні здібності до розуміння та перекладу текстів, що зменшує невизначеності у природномовній версії математичних задач та поліпшує процес збільшення математичної бази знань відповідних систем. Ефективність цих моделей оцінюється в переході від природної мови до математичного формалізму. Хоча ВММ показують значні результати у семантичному аналізі, точні обчислення і символічні маніпуляції потребують подальших удосконалень. Інтеграція з системами автоматичних доведень, такими як LEAN, досліджується для поліпшення процесу побудови формальних доведень. Отримані результати вказують на великий потенціал використання моделей штучного інтелекту в автоматизації математичного міркування.

The article studies the problems of managing social non-budgetary funds in Ukraine. The main elements of the system of social extra-budgetary funds in Ukraine are considered, the sources of formation of these funds and the main functions and powers of extra-budgetary funds are studied. It is found that despite the specifics of each type of extra-budgetary funds, their management faces a number of common problems. The main types of problems in the management of extra-budgetary funds are identified: financial, organizational and managerial, demographic, economic and technological. Close interrelationships between different types of problematic aspects are identified, which increase their negative impact. It is determined that in order to overcome the problems of managing social extra-budgetary funds in Ukraine, it is advisable to apply an integrated approach aimed at covering various aspects of the functioning of the social insurance system. The author proposes ways to solve the problems in the main areas, which include, in particular, in the context of financial management: diversification of sources of funding of funds; introduction of a funded pension insurance system; optimization of expenditures of funds; ensuring an increase in the level of efficiency of investment of temporarily free funds. It is determined that important areas for improving the organizational aspects of management are the introduction of modern information technologies; increasing the transparency of funds; improving the risk management system, etc. It is determined that in the context of ensuring effective demographic solutions, it is important to provide incentives for fertility and support for young families; creating conditions for the return of labor migrants. The effectiveness of economic management decisions is related to the fight against the shadow economy and illegal employment; stimulating the development of small and medium-sized businesses; reforming the wage system; optimizing social contribution rates; full digitalization of social fund services; modernization of accounting and reporting systems; and strengthening cybersecurity.

Authors: Borges Sacoto Constança , Nunes Diana
Published: February 2025

The issues concerning the clash between the private autonomy of the parties and the powers of the arbitral tribunal in the production of evidence are not new, but the growing institutionalisation of arbitration (both domestic and, above all, international) has raised new issues and determined that arbitral institutions are increasingly attributing more and more powers to the arbitral tribunal in the way it conducts the arbitration proceedings. For this reason, this article revisits this issue, refocusing on the relevance of the party autonomy and redefining its limits, in a world where arbitral institutions are playing an increasingly important role, not only because of the important soft law they have been issuing, but also, and above all, because of the increased level of professionalism, specialisation and sophistication of the arbitrations they conduct.

The research categorized Choman district into four vulnerability zones: low, medium, high, and very high susceptibility. The results highlighted that steep slope regions with proximity to geological faults and main roads are most vulnerable regions to landslides in Choman district. The research result of FR approach indicated that around 16% (137.5 km2) of Choman district is highly susceptible to landslides and the high, medium, low susceptible areas were 42.4% (365.4 km2), 31.7% (273.5 km2) and 9.9% (85.3 km2), respectively. Accuracy assessment for the created map using field surveys indicated high accuracy for both methods. Specifically, with accuracy of 0.78 for AHP and 0.9 for FR, the results indicated a strong agreement between the predicted susceptibility areas and historical landslide events, also the consistency ratio was less than 0.1 with 0.05. Value of 0.726 for AHP and 0.824 for FR of area under the curve (AUC) demonstrated a good accuracy and reliability of the techniques. The findings of the research could significantly contribute for risk mitigation strategies, infrastructure development, and policy-making.

Universal Wong Formula for Capture Cross Sections from Light to Super-Heavy Systems
Authors: Wang Ning , Yao Hong
Published: February 2025

A universal Wong formula is proposed with refined model parameters for a systematic description of the capture cross sections for heavy-ion fusion reactions from C+C to Ni+U, in which the barrier parameters and the barrier distribution are determined by the entrance-channel nucleus-nucleus potential based on the Skyrme energy density functional. With introducing a constraint to the width of the barrier distribution and a pocket-depth dependent barrier radius, the capture excitation functions for a number of fusion reactions involving different nuclear structure effects are remarkably well reproduced, particularly for the reactions between light nuclei and those forming super-heavy nuclei. The systematic decreasing behavior of the geometric radii with the depth of capture pocket due to the influence of deep inelastic scattering is clearly observed in the TDHF calculations for super-heavy systems. The predicted capture cross sections for 54Cr + 238U at above barrier energies are evidently smaller than the corresponding results of more asymmetric projectile-target combination 50Ti + 242Pu due to the shallower capture pocket in Cr+U.

Published: February 2025

Infants exhibit remarkable language acquisition abilities, supported by highly plastic neural substrates that dynamically interact with early speech experiences. However, the developmental mechanisms of these neural substrates and their specific role in speech acquisition remain incompletely understood. Here, we present NeoAudi Tract (NAT), a robust automated toolbox for extracting the full set of auditory tracts in infants from birth to 24 months using 3T diffusion MRI data. By characterizing the microstructural changes in these tracts, we demonstrate a gradual and continuous maturation process of the auditory system. Additionally, we identify significant correlations between auditory tract maturation and both _fine-motor skills_ and _expressive language T_-scores from the Mullen Scales of Early Learning tests. Our findings highlight the role of the auditory system in speech production and indicate the intertwined development of auditory and motor systems that underlies speech acquisition, particularly during perceptual reorganization.

This paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN) method for human motion detection and tracking on a quadcopter. To address the challenges mentioned above, the proposed methodology is designed on computer vision techniques with an object tracking algorithm and a CNN model. The object tracking algorithm is implemented using a proportional integral differential (PID) controller to calculate the control parameters, including the pitch and yaw angles, in real time. These parameters are determined by calculating the offset between the position of the human and the camera coordinate frame. To achieve accurate object detection, a CNN model is designed based on the single shot multibox detector (SSD) architecture, which is crucial for object detection. The model above is integrated with the MobileNet base network, which is responsible for feature extraction of the object. The use of self-collected person data in model training ensures good performance for this specific application. The object detection results demonstrate that the model achieves a high level of accuracy (98%). The proposed methodology is applied to an NVIDIA Jetson NANO computer. To rigorously assess the control system, the proposed methodology was used to conduct outdoor flight tests on a campus. These tests prioritized minimal pedestrian traffic and stable weather conditions, ensuring a controlled environment for evaluation. Analysis of the flight data and signal graphs provided valuable insights into the effectiveness of the system.

Condoms serve as a method of birth control. During sexual activity, silicon condom lubricant lowers friction and the chances of harm. Additionally, it increases the protection against STIs, including HIV, by decreasing the likelihood that they may break or fall off. The aim of this study was to perform microbiological and molecular assessments of silicon condom lubricant using a 16S rRNA molecular sequencing protocol. Silicone condom lubricants were randomly selected and analyzed using standard microbiological methods. The molecular identification of the isolated bacteria was performed using the 16S rRNA sequencing protocol. The fungal isolate compendium was characterized using lactophenol cotton blue staining. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the isolated organisms was performed using the modified method described by Kirby-Bauer agar disc diffusion. The growth dynamics and killing time were determined using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer with the addition of ciprofloxacin for bacteria and fluconazole for fungi at 24-hour intervals. The bacterial and fungal counts of the selected condom ranged between 1.6 and 9.0 × 10-4 cfu/ml and between 1.9 and 7.0 × 107 cfu/ml, respectively. The bacteria isolated were both gram-positive and gram-negative, while the fungal species were Aspergillus niger, Byssoctilamiis nivea, Emericella nidulans, Fusarium poae, Eurotium herbariorium, Aspergillus parasiticus and Fusarium oxysporum. All the organisms showed varied resistance and susceptibility. The findings from this study revealed the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in the selected silicone condom lubricant brands sold in Akungba-Akoko. Further studies should be performed to ensure the safety of the silicon condom brands used.
