Published: October 2024

Abstract. The development and application of automated technologies in the agricultural sector have significantly transformed the management and monitoring of farm animals. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of existing technical systems for measuring the physiological parameters of farm animals, particularly focusing on cows. The primary goal of these technologies is to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of health monitoring and to optimize livestock management through continuous data collection and analysis.
Key technological solutions include the use of wireless data transmission systems, radio monitoring devices, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These technologies enable real-time tracking of animal health parameters such as body temperature, heart rate, movement patterns, and other critical indicators. The use of various sensors, including ear, neck, and intra-body sensors, plays a crucial role in collecting primary physiological data. These sensors are integrated into a broader system that includes radio modules with built-in controllers for converting raw data into digital formats, enabling wireless transmission to central systems for processing and storage.
The radio monitoring of animals allows for the continuous tracking of physiological and behavioral parameters across large areas, providing crucial insights into their well-being. It is particularly beneficial in detecting early signs of disease or health issues, ensuring timely intervention, and preventing potential economic losses for farmers. The integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) further expands the capabilities of monitoring systems, enabling the visual assessment of animals' behavior and movement across vast pastures. Equipped with video cameras and data relays, UAVs collect video footage that is transmitted to a central processing unit for real-time analysis and storage.
The combined use of radio monitoring and UAV technology forms a comprehensive framework for livestock management, allowing farmers to make data-driven decisions, optimize resource allocation, and improve overall herd health and productivity. By leveraging these automated systems, it becomes possible to reduce the dependency on manual labor, minimize human error, and ensure that animals are closely monitored without the need for constant physical presence. This represents a significant advancement in modern animal farming, aligning with global trends toward smart farming and precision agriculture.
In conclusion, the integration of automated physiological monitoring technologies in farm animal management presents an innovative solution for enhancing animal welfare, improving farm efficiency, and reducing operational costs. These systems hold considerable potential for further advancements in the field of animal health monitoring, ultimately contributing to more sustainable and productive farming practices.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. The canonical task of regression analysis consists in studying the problem of estimation and mathematical description of the influence caused by one or more independent variables (predictors, explanatory variables) on the dependent (explained) variable. The subject of comparator identification problem is a specific modification of the standard regression analysis problem in the case when, for some reason, it is not possible to measure values of the dependent, explained variable. However, the problem of reconstructing a regression polynomial can be solved if it is possible to qualitatively compare the results of experiments and rank them, for example, in the order of increasing. Taking into account the results of ranking the values of the explained variable in different experiments, a corresponding system of inequalities is formed. The purpose of the research consists in developing a method for mathematical processing of the resulting system of inequalities for analytical assessment of the level of influence of explanatory variables on the explained variable. The method for solving the problem is based on transforming a system of inequalities into a system of linear algebraic equations. A significant drawback of the known approach to solving this problem consists in the fact that the resulting system of linear algebraic equations is an underdetermined one (the number of unknowns in this system exceeds the number of equations). At the same time, the system has an infinite number of solutions, among which there may be an uncontrollable number of unacceptable ones. The exhaustive search method for finding acceptable solutions is futile. In this regard, the problem of developing a correct method of comparator identification remains relevant. Another difficulty that accompanies the actual procedure of comparator identification when solving practical problems consists in the fact that measurements of values of the controlled parameters are not accurate. The uncertainty that arises in the conditions of a small sample of initial data can be removed using the tools of fuzzy mathematics. It is assumed that, based on preliminary research, a mathematical description of the corresponding membership function can be obtained for each of the controlled parameters. As a result, effective approaches to solving emerging problems have been proposed, based on the use of developed optimization procedures in the conditions of a small sample of fuzzy initial data.
WATERFALL MODEL OVER PCD.UCT MODEL REVIEW
Authors: Wisidagama N S , Marikkar Faiz
Published: October 2024

Abstract. The software development life cycle (SDLC) has seen the evolution of numerous models, each tailored to meet specific project needs. Among these, the Waterfall Model has been a longstanding, traditional approach, characterized by its linear and sequential phases. In contrast, the PcD.UcT Model, a relatively newer framework, advocates for a more iterative and user-centered approach. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the Waterfall Model, evaluating its strengths and limitations in modern software development. It contrasts these findings with the PcD.UcT Model, analyzing how its principles better align with contemporary project demands, particularly in terms of flexibility, user engagement, and iterative refinement. Through this comparative analysis, the paper aims to provide insights into the applicability and effectiveness of each model, offering guidance for software development teams in choosing the appropriate methodology for their projects. Since the waterfall development methodology, the key requirements in system development strategies have shifted from processes to users. Because the process as well as the customers are both equally important, employing either a predictive or an adaptive methodology is extremely difficult. The primary goal of this work is mainly combining and then evaluating all the relevant methodologies in order to create a HydroGIS that accurately automates the complexities of the hydrology process in a HydroGIS environment while meeting all user requirements.

Temperature-dependent effect of nanoscale phase change materials on fresh and hardened cement-based mortar
Authors: Uygunoğlu Tayfun , Barlas Özgüven Sevcan
Published: October 2024

As smart and innovative materials, temperature-dependent phase change materials (PCMs) can be used to produce environmentally friendly energy-saving concrete. In this study, the fresh and hardened concrete properties of mortars incorporating PCMs in different ratios (0%, 2.5% and 5%) were experimentally investigated. Rheological properties such as slump flow, specific viscosity and yield stress were determined at different temperatures (20–50°C). Time-dependent physical, mechanical and thermal properties such as ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV), electrical resistivity, dynamic modulus of elasticity and compressive and flexural strengths were determined. Thermogravimetric analysis and thermal conductivity tests were also carried out. The experimental findings showed that the workability and hardened properties of mortars decreased with the addition of PCM. However, the rheological properties of the fresh mortar changed depending on the temperature due to the PCM absorbing heat. Therefore, the fresh properties of mortar with PCMs can be controlled by temperature. It was also found that the phase change of mortars with PCM could be obtained by measuring the electrical resistivity or UPV at different temperatures.

Published: October 2024

Railways in the UK were constructed before the establishment of modern geotechnical engineering practice. Climate change and the associated greater frequency of extreme weather events are having impacts on earthworks stability, with risks to public safety. Many embankments on Network Rail's Anglia route have shown gradual degradation through their steep upper slopes and progressive failure within predominantly clay embankment material and underlying soft deposits. A regional holistic view allows identification of common geotechnical trends and risk categorisation to better enable prioritisation of asset management. Understanding when to intervene is crucial, and monitoring the behaviour of earthworks is a vital asset management tool to control risk and extend lifespan. To be a wise investment, slope instrumentation must be properly thought out in line with a detailed interrogation of the site and alongside a well-developed conceptual model. Automated monitoring can bring greater control and allow more accurate evaluation of interventions, but must be assessed in line with prioritising large areas with limited budgets. Correct targeting of ground investigation and ensuring sufficient and reliable data can optimise mitigation and provide confidence of the engineering fix.
3-Dimensional numerical analysis of geosynthetic double-encased annulus stone columns
Authors: Abid M. S. , Rathod D. , Vanapalli S. K.
Published: October 2024

A geosynthetic double-encapsulated annulus stone column technique is proposed in this study to overcome limitations associated with conventional stone columns, such as limited lateral load-bearing capacity and potential issues related to aggregate dispersion in soft soils. Geosynthetic double-encapsulated annulus stone columns are consistent with conventional stone columns besides being confined in and around the surrounding soil. The performance of geosynthetic double-encapsulated annulus stone columns is primarily dependent upon their outer-to-inner diameter ratio. For this reason, comprehensive 3-dimensional numerical studies were carried out to evaluate the optimum outer-to-inner diameter ratio of the annulus stone column. The results suggest that the ultimate load-carrying capacity of an annulus stone column increases with an increasing ratio of outer to inner diameter until an optimum value. In addition, the double encapsulation enhances confinement, improving shear stiffness and reducing lateral bulging. However, the load-carrying capacity was substantially reduced beyond the critical outer-to-inner diameter ratio. A simple analytical model extending the theory of thin cylinders is also introduced to estimate the accumulated stresses and strains in the geosynthetic encasement. The proposed model operates within a simplified framework of elastic solutions that facilitate practising engineers to design and optimize geosynthetic encasements for enhanced structural performance.

Published: October 2024

The extraction of sustainable colorants requires energy-efficient technology for their eco-application in different fields. For the current study on nylon fabric, the natural dye from achiote (Bixa orellana) has been extracted in aqueous and acidic media and valorized through microwave (MW) radiation. MW treatment has been applied to both extracted biomolecule and nylon fabric for up to 10 min and the dyeing variables were optimized using statistical model. For getting permanent shades, eco-salts of Al (III) and Fe (II) as well as biomolecules from waste plant materials (pomegranate and myrobalan) were utilized. ISO methods for assessment of colorfast shades have been employed. It was found that for nylon, by MW treatment of the dye material and polymeric stuff for 4 min, good color yield in terms of color strength (K/S = 29.52) is obtained. It has been observed that when MW-treated extract (pH = 6) is employed at 40°C for 55 min, good-quality shade of high strength is obtained by using selected amounts of eco-chemical and organic molecules. It is concluded that MW treatment should be given to dyeing process for getting effective yield, and tannin-based green molecules as organic mordant can used to make dyeing process more eco-friendly and sustainable.

Key Points

This phase 2, double-blind, randomized controlled trial evaluated the complement C5 inhibitor, ravulizumab, in adults with IgA nephropathy.

A 30.1% (90% confidence interval, 13.7% to 43.5%) relative reduction in proteinuria for ravulizumab versus placebo was observed at approximately 6 months.

Treatment with ravulizumab was well tolerated.

Background

The complement system plays a central role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy. We present findings from a phase 2 trial of ravulizumab, a complement C5 inhibitor.

Methods

The Study of Ravulizumab in Proliferative Lupus Nephritis or IgA Nephropathy (NCT04564339) was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of ravulizumab in addition to standard of care. Adults with IgA nephropathy, proteinuria ≥1 g/d, and eGFR ≥30 ml/min per 1.73 m2, and on stable renin-angiotensin blockade were randomized 2:1 to ravulizumab (intravenous every 8 weeks) or placebo for 26 weeks. From week 26–50, all participants received open-label ravulizumab. The primary end point was percentage change in proteinuria from baseline to week 26. Secondary end points included change in proteinuria at week 50 and eGFR. Safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics were evaluated.

Results

Forty-three patients were randomized to ravulizumab and 23 to placebo. At week 26, a statistically significant reduction in proteinuria was observed with ravulizumab versus placebo: −41.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], −50.2% to −32.0%) change in urine protein with ravulizumab and −16.8% (95% CI, −31.8% to 1.6%) change with placebo (30.1% treatment effect; P = 0.005). At week 50, there was a −44.8% (95% CI, −55.1% to −32.1%) change from baseline in urine protein with ravulizumab, and in patients who crossed over from placebo to ravulizumab at week 26, the change from baseline (week 0) to week 50 was −45.1% (−58.0% to −28.4%). The least squares mean change in eGFR from baseline to week 26 with ravulizumab was 0.2 (95% CI, −2.3 to 2.7) ml/min per 1.73 m2 and with placebo was −4.5 (−7.9 to −1.1) ml/min per 1.73 m2. From baseline to week 50, the least squares mean change in eGFR with ravulizumab was −3.9 (95% CI, −6.4 to−1.3) ml/min per 1.73 m2, and in patients who crossed over from placebo to ravulizumab at week 26, it was −6.3 (−9.7 to −2.9) ml/min per 1.73 m2. Ravulizumab was well tolerated, with an adverse event profile similar to that for placebo.

Conclusions

An early, sustained, and clinically meaningful reduction in proteinuria and trend toward stabilization of eGFR were observed with ravulizumab versus placebo. A phase 3 trial (NCT06291376) is enrolling.

Introduction. The paperstudies the problem of social dynamics and reactions of the individuals, specifically in the case of local elites in the small towns of Perm Krai, Russia. Aims. The aim of the paper is to interpret the practices of the local elites. The paper studies a social space with the constrains where these practices take place as well as the performed practices themselves.Methods. The paper uses structural-functional analysis, and qualitative sociological methods, such as depth interview, case study.Results. The study analyzes three cases of actions of local elites in Kungur, Chaikovski, Krasnokamsk. Given cases were interpreted through the theories of P. Bourdieu and Z. Bauman.Conclusion. Social processes show the resemblance of institutional isomorphism, but it is applied to the fields of social space. Strong connection between local elites and social spaces of small towns is seen as a source of additional influence. Two hypothetical explanations are given to the revealed “isomorphism of fields”: 1) it may be the byproduct of creation of “significant places” in the new fields taken under control of the local elites; 2) it can be the result of influence of emotions.

Documentary reconstruction of Aleksandr Topanov’s family tree (to the 120th anniversary of his birth)
Authors:   Khakass Research Institute of Language, Literature and History, Nilogov Aleksey S.
Published: October 2024

The article considers the issue of a documentary reconstruction of the family tree of the Russian-Khakass playwright Aleksandr Mikhailovich Topanov (1903–1959). Based on the study of mass genealogical sources (church registers of births, marriages and deaths; lists of names; population censuses), an attempt was made to restore the Topanovs’ patrilineal line before the beginning of the 18th century. The source base of the research was the funds of the State Archive of Krasnoyarsk Krai, the National Archive of the Republic of Khakassia, the Minusinsk Archive. The subject of the study is the biological pedigree of Aleksandr Topanov, and the focus is the archival and documentary reconstruction of its patrilineal part. Unique archival documents on the genealogy of the Topanovs are introduced into scientific discourse: according to the Ust-Fyrkal Nicholas Church, a metric record of the birth/baptism of Topanov as of 1903, a metric record of the marriage/wedding of Topanov’s parents as of 1902, a metric record of the death/burial of Topanov’s mother as of 1904, a metric record of the birth/baptism record of Topanov’s father as of 1875, information from the last two censuses of the Mungatovs family in the Kachin Steppe Duma as of 1850 and 1858, as well as the facts of baptisms of representatives of the genus for 1854. In the course of genealogical research, several oral genealogical legends about the Topanovs were examined. The critical analysis of these materials showed that their information potential needed a thorough scientific verification with the involvement of archival primary sources. The further study of the Topanovs’ family tree will be dedicated to a complex genetic and genealogical verification of data by testing contemporary male representatives of the genus by the DNA of the Y chromosome. This will determine the haplogroup (the genetic genus) of the Topanovs and therefore deepen the phylogenetic line of the seok “yzyr” for thousands of years with the allocation of a family branch in the universal family tree.
The role of the Republican KGB in the creation of the people’s fronts and movements of the Baltic (on the example of the Latvian KGB) during the years of perestroika
Authors:   Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Potapov Alexander K.
Published: October 2024

This article examines the problems of the development of socio-political processes in the Latvian SSR and the possible cooperation of political actors with the republican KGB, both before and during perestroika. The author of the article refers to archival materials that have recently begun to be published on the official website of the National Archives of Latvia. The aim of the article is to determine the role of the KGB in the formation of the People’s Fronts and movements of the Baltic during the years of perestroika (using the example of the Latvian SSR). The author turns to the analysis of personal registration cards, which were started in the KGB of Latvia for both full-time and freelance employees. These cards were filled in completely in Russian. Among the employees were representatives of social and political organizations and groups (Latvian People’s Front, Latvian National Independence Movement, and others), which made a significant contribution to the sovereignization processes in Latvia. The main sources are the registration cards of the Latvian KGB agents, which began to be published on the website of the National Archives of Latvia in late 2018 – early 2019. Also, for a detailed disclosure of the topic, sources of personal origin are used: the memoirs of A. Klauzen, V. Shved; an interview with J. Trubins, the former Deputy Chairman of the KGB of the Latvian SSR; B. Petersone’s testimonies in the collection The Baltic Way to Freedom. The study of the sources made it possible to identify the main participants in the political development of Latvia, who provided certain services to the republican KGB during the years of perestroika. Representatives of the intellectuals took an active part in the formation of new social and political forces in the Baltic republics, including Latvia. Some of them, as it turns out now, went to cooperate with the Latvian KGB. However, in their speeches at the turn of the 1990s, they criticized the activities of the CPSU and the KGB. In his research, the author came to the following conclusions: many representatives of the Latvian People’s Front, despite their anti-Soviet activities at the late stage of perestroika, agreed to cooperate with the Soviet special services and were agents of the republican KGB. In this regard, the political situation in the Baltic republics from the very beginning of perestroika was under the full control of the republican KGB, which through its agents influenced the formation and further activities of mass social and political organizations in the region. The activities of such agents were strictly regulated by the instructions and orders of the relevant department, which received direct instructions from the structures of the Union Center.
"Dasein" or "stream of experiences": Ontological foundations of a human through the prism of phenomenological and psychoanalytic approaches
Authors:   Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University, Pilyushenko Aleksandra V.
Published: October 2024

The article addresses the problem of human existence from the standpoint of phenomenological and psychoanalytic approaches. Human existence from the standpoint of phenomenology is revealed by the concept of Dasein – “here is being” – derived from the consciousness of a person whose being is the being of his consciousness. Psychoanalysis considers human existence as a stream of experiences, often of an unconscious nature, as a result of “games of the unconscious”; however, consciousness and living by the consciousness of the irrational unconscious drives have a therapeutic significance in the treatment of mental disorders, and therefore consciousness is of crucial importance in the ontological foundations of psychoanalysis. This confirms the desubjectifying and rationalizing role of the analyst in a psychoanalytic situation. The aim of the article is to consider the ontological foundations of man through the prism of phenomenological and psychoanalytic approaches. As a result, their common and special features were identified, the concept of Dasien analysis was considered, represented by the use of a phenomenological approach to psychoanalysis. The methodology of the study is related to its problem field. The main method of research is phenomenological analysis. The research also relies on a number of general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, modeling, ascent from the abstract to the concrete, abstraction. When considering human existence, a dialectical approach was used in the context of the study of the relations of the dichotomous pair “consciousness – the unconscious” as the subject-object foundations of existence. Exploring human existence through the prism of phenomenology and psychoanalysis, similarities were revealed in the understanding of the role of rational or conscious processes in human existence in the works of Martin Heidegger and Sigmund Freud. In phenomenology, the intentionality of consciousness was considered as the most essential being, Dasein residing in active actual thinking. In psychoanalysis, consciousness is the possibility of healing from mental disorders, where the awareness and rationalization of the problem become the central tools of psychoanalytic therapy. For Dasein analysis, consciousness is actually equated with human existence; namely, Dasein is a true reality, while not split by the dichotomy of subject-object relations.

For effective competitive activity in youth basketball, it is necessary to take into account both external and internal factors, since they influence the quality of technical actions in situations of confrontation with an opponent. Features of feeling and perception, as well as the speed of processing information coming from the outside, are closely related to the issues of players finding optimal solutions, which means that the coach needs to properly influence them. The athlete’s readiness for professional activity at the level of mental processes (switching attention, error correction, perception of information, etc.) becomes increasingly important and determines the relevance of this study. The research aims to reveal correlations between the technical preparedness and mental processes of basketball players aged 14–15 in the pre-competition period of training. The research objective is to determine the level of interrelations between technical preparedness and the nature of the course of mental processes of basketball players aged 14–15 based on a correlation analysis of data using the nonparametric Spearman criterion. The level of technical readiness was determined by the indicator of the shuttle run completion time, dribbling for 20 meters, figure-eight dribbling for 20 meters, dribbling and shooting, execution time and accuracy of hitting shots from medium and long distances, and free throws. Mental processes were assessed according to the data of the type of information perception (visual, kinesthetic, audial), motor response rates, estimates of time intervals, memory capacity, switching, and attention selectivity. The work was carried out in October 2020 and involved 16 female basketball players aged 14–15. The results of the correlation analysis allowed us to establish the presence of triple, double, and single connections between mental processes and indicators of technical preparedness. The largest number of connections was revealed in the following indicators: attention switching, individual minute, number of throws in motion, and long throw. The established direct and feedback links are described at high and medium levels of significance. The presence of numerous links between the indicators of technical preparedness and mental processes associated with the perception and processing of information at high and medium levels indicates the need for targeted training of basketball players aged 14–15 to teach the ability to manage sensory-perceptual processes, distinctive sensitivity, modality of information perception, operational thinking, and attention.

Published: October 2024

The aim of article is to consider the cognitive technology of interrogation developed and used by law enforcement agencies of several foreign countries. It is a set of methods and techniques of obtaining information from interrogated persons based on the mechanisms and regularities of perception, preservation and reproduction of information in human memory. A component of cognitive technology is methods of organization and procedure of its implementation. Information about the efficiency of the technology indicates its advantages in comparison with the classical interrogation. In particular, cognitive technology is superior to the classical method of interrogation in terms of the volume of provided information, its consistency, and the readiness of witnesses, victims and suspects (accused persons) to cooperate with the investigation. The material of the study is publications on the creation and testing of effectiveness of cognitive methods and techniques of interrogatio, published in foreign scientific peer-reviewed journals. The research methods are theoretical methods of processing scientific information – generalization, structuring, categorization. The study is a consistent consideration of the theoretical basis for the development of cognitive methods of interrogation and their differences from classical interrogation; the description of their varieties, procedure and stages; the disclosure of the possibilities of cognitive methods and techniques to obtain information from witnesses, victims, criminal suspects, and juveniles. The result of the study is the generalization and structuring of information about the cognitive technology of interrogation and its components: cognitive interview, methods of interaction with interrogated persons, as well asthe identification of the peculiarities of cognitive interview used in the interrogation of suspects. The limitations of the technology are considered in the context of the Russian practice of interrogation by law enforcement agencies. The limitations in the application of cognitive technology include the complexity of cognitive interrogation and the need for training of investigators, increased time costs compared to classical interrogation. This excludes the application of cognitive technology for the inquest of crimes of small and medium gravity, and indicates the possibility of its use in investigations of serious and especially serious crimes.

The study presents a complex analysis of neologisms in English, German, and Russian that represent sports activities and are reflected in media discourse. It is conducted at the intersection of the linguistics areas of neology, cognitive and contrastive linguistics. The research is due to the emergence of new sports lexical units in different languages as a result of a complex interaction of mechanisms of categorization and conceptualization of events reflected in the sports media discourse. The aim of the study is to identify and compare the conceptual dominants of English, German, and Russian sports neologisms functioning in media discourse. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the identification of the conceptual dominants of sports neologisms of the media discourse and the identification of universal and nationally specific features of these units through the method of complex conceptual and contrastive analysis. At the first stage of the study, we describe neologisms as new lexical units that have emerged in the field of sports activities, which are divided into customary, i.e. showing a tendency to reproducibility and reflection in lexicographic reference books, and occasional, i.e. individual authorial neologisms created intentionally and used only once in a given context as a lexical means of expressiveness. Further, we define the sports media discourse. At the second stage, we consider the theoretical foundations of the study of the concept as a unique mental unit, introduce the concept of the conceptual domain “Sport”, and conceptualize and categorize sports neologisms. According to the principle of frequency of neologisms, we identify conceptual dominants and their constituent cognitive features, then calculate the brightness indices of the latter and adjust the semantic field of the manifested conceptual dominants “Athletes”, “Actions”, and “Events”, and their constituent features. The obtained results allowed us to draw conclusions about the structure and content of the conceptual dominants of sports neologisms. Finally, we conduct a contrastive analysis of the conceptual dominants and their cognitive characteristics in order to establish similarities and differences between them. The conducted study has shown that the conceptual dominants of the neologisms of the sports media discourse constitute a semantic field in each language in accordance with the current changes taking place in the world of sports. The most pronounced similarity is characteristic of the concept “Events”, since changes occur at the international level. The differences are characteristic of the concepts “Athletes” and “Actions”, since the perception and associations of each ethnic group are of a national-specific nature.

Traditional domain adaptation (DA) methods often encounter challenges with cross-domain feature extraction and the precise assessment of domain differences. To overcome these limitations, we introduce the Enhanced Sparse Filtering-Based Domain Adaptation (ESFBDA) method. This method distinguishes itself by enhancing sparse filtering (SF) with the integration of row-column normalization and a cosine penalty, specifically designed to minimize feature loss—a critical issue in existing DA techniques. Additionally, we employ Bootstrap resampling to refine domain distribution alignment, a novel step that boosts feature similarity and effectiveness in DA. This integrated approach ensures more accurate feature extraction, which is crucial for the classifier's fault detection capability. In our study, through two distinct experiments on WT-planetary gearbox fault diagnosis and bearing fault diagnosis, the ESFBDA method demonstrated remarkable accuracy, significantly surpassing traditional approaches and showcasing its robust applicability across varied diagnostic scenarios.
NORMAS GERAIS DE DIREITO PENITENCIÁRIO E COMPETÊNCIA LEGISLATIVA CONCORRENTE: O CASO DA COBRANÇA PELA MONITORAÇÃO ELETRÔNICA NA ATIVIDADE LEGISLATIVA ESTADUAL

As competências legislativas e as normas gerais constituem dois dos assuntos mais complexos da atividade legislativa e do direito constitucional brasileiros. Projetos de lei estaduais voltados à imposição da cobrança pela monitoração eletrônica penal são justificados com base na competência legislativa concorrente em direito penitenciário e na (in)existência de norma geral regulando a matéria. O presente artigo objetiva analisar a cobrança pela monitoração eletrônica penal com relação aos argumentos jurídicos apresentados nas proposições legislativas estaduais, pareceres legislativos e vetos governamentais. A pesquisa se realiza a partir de estudo bibliográfico, mapeamento de projetos legislativos, análise e discussão dos seus resultados. Espera-se contribuir com a discussão acerca das normas gerais no direito brasileiro, especialmente no ramo do direito penitenciário, que cuida das execuções penais.

systems to stabilize its position and reduce the negative impact of various types of rocking on the crew and equipment. The corresponding devices, ship stabilizers, have many design options based on the use of different physical principles. Thus, this work considers a type of water-jet ship stabilizer, which stabilizes the ship's hull by creating mechanical moments from the reactive action of jets of a water-air mixture, which are ejected from the stabilizer in the appropriate direction. All ship stabilizers can be divided into passive ones, which do not require the supply of energy for their operation, and active ones, which usually use part of the power of the ship's power plant. It should be noted that active stabilizers make up a significant share of all their types and significantly reduce ship oscillations, although they cause significant energy costs. Accordingly, active ship stabilizers require effective control of their work, which should ensure good values of the stabilization parameters of the ship's hull at acceptable energy costs. It should be noted that the process of control the operation of a complex design stabilizer (which, in particular, is the mentioned reactive water-jet ship stabilizer) is quite complex: it includes many input and output variables of different nature, as well as dependencies between them, which are difficult to formalize during construction deterministic control system, which also cannot take into account the uncertainty of the specified values. Taking this into account, it is advisable to implement a control system for a water-jet ship stabilizer based on the principles of artificial intelligence, one of which is the theory of fuzzy sets. In this work, the implementation of a fuzzy controller for controlling a water-jet-type ship stabilizer was carried out, and its effectiveness was also studied using the Matlab Simulink model. The obtained results showed that the proposed fuzzy control system has satisfactory performance and can be recommended for implementation within the framework of the development of a ship stabilizer of the corresponding design.
