Wetlands are characterised by distinct hydrological regimes and have significant importance in the global carbon cycle, having the potential to reduce carbon emissions through long-term carbon storage in the soil. In this study, carbon dynamics were simulated using a process-based model DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC), for two locations along Dâmbovița River case study area. These scenarios took into consideration the interconnection of soil parameters, hydrology, meteorological conditions and vegetation type. The findings showed that soil CO2 emissions are positively and strongly correlated with air temperature and soil moisture, with changes in the water content of the soil regime having the greatest impact on CO2 fluxes. Also, the model simulations have been validated by statistical analysis of uncertainties with the values of CO2 fluxes measured in situ using the dynamic closed chamber method. By comparing DNDC outputs with field measurements, the performance of the model was evaluated in different environmental conditions and the results were consistent, which increased confidence in its application for assessing wetland ecosystems. These results contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the carbon cycle in wetlands and an improved estimation of the effects of climate change on the dynamics of carbon in these ecosystems.

Проаналізовано сорти картоплі вітчизняної селекції щодо пошкодження і втрат врожайності від хвороб у зоні Полісся України і встановлено, що найбільше шкодочинними є фітофтороз і альтернаріоз. З'ясовано, що збудники патогенів знижують врожай бульб, погіршують їх якість і потенційно призводять до втрат картоплі в процесі зберігання, внаслідок поганої лежкості і розвитку комплексних гнилей. Досліджено і проаналізовано стан насаджень картоплі щодо розвитку і поширення хвороб картоплі – фітофторозу та альтернаріозу в двадцяти господарствах різної форми власності п'яти областей зони Полісся України (Київська, Житомирська, Рівненська, Волинська, Чернігівська). Встановлено найвищі показники поширення фітофторозу на території Рівненської та Волинської областей – 61,2 та 64,3 %. Відзначено дещо менший розвиток хвороби у Київській, Житомирській та Чернігівській областях (57,6, 59,9, 60,2 %). Найбільше поширення альтернаріозу відзначено у Житомирській та Київській областях, відповідно, 70,2 та 73,6 %, у інших досліджених областях цей показник становив 59,7-67,3 %. Проведено скринінг наявності, поширення та ступеня шкідливості фітофторозу й альтернаріозу у зоні Полісся України, що дало змогу виявити реальний стан наявності хвороб картоплі в Поліссі. Оцінено гаму сортів картоплі на стійкість до хвороб листків і виявлено ступінь стійкості різних сортів картоплі вітчизняної селекції. Виділено сорти картоплі з різним ступенем стійкості до фітофторозу та альтернаріозу: Глазурна – сприйнятливий, Вердруска – середньостійкий, Бонус – відносностійкий, що відкриває можливості рекомендувати виробничникам і приватному сектору вирощувати стійкі до хвороб сорти картоплі. З'ясовано, що дослідження поширення та розвитку фітофторозу й альтернаріозу картоплі в зоні Полісся України дасть змогу більш раціонально планувати та здійснювати відповідні заходи зі захисту від цих хвороб.

Optimization of machine learning model training procedure on multi-gpu systems to enhance cyber security in telecommunication networks
Authors: Kuziv O. P. , Nazarkevych M. A.
Published: October 2024

This paper analyzes the optimization features of machine learning (ML) model training procedures using multi-GPU systems to enhance cyber security in telecommunication networks. A key aspect of the study is the use of data parallelism, which allows the distribution of the training load across multiple GPUs, significantly reducing training time and improving model accuracy-critical factors for rapid threat detection in cyberspace. A novel approach for optimizing data batch size using Mutual Information (MI) is proposed, which harmonizes the utilization of computational resources with the information content of the training data. MI helps to determine the optimal data batch size that minimizes training errors and improves model accuracy without a significant increase in training time. Experimental results demonstrate the substantial advantages of multi-GPU configurations compared to single-GPU setups, providing faster training and improved model accuracy. It was particularly emphasized that MI-guided batch size tuning significantly outperforms traditional manual tuning methods, ensuring higher validation accuracy and reducing training time. The study showed that the MI-based approach is an effective tool for addressing the problem of optimizing ML model training processes in real-world scenarios where cyber security is critical. The proposed methods allow ML models to train faster and more accurately identify potential threats, making them particularly relevant for telecommunication networks where a rapid response to new threats in real time is required. The implementation of modern computational technologies such as multi-GPU systems and MI-optimized training enhances the efficiency and accuracy of machine learning models. This, in turn, improves cyber security measures and ensures a more reliable defence of telecommunication networks against malicious attacks. It is noted that the proposed approaches can be adapted not only for cyber security but also for other areas where high model accuracy and fast training are important. Future research prospects include the development of new machine learning methods, particularly deep neural networks, the exploration of alternative computational architectures such as quantum computing or distributed systems, and their integration into real-time systems. Special attention should be paid to the ethical aspects of implementing automated cyber security systems, particularly in preventing bias in algorithms and ensuring fairness in their application.
From Their Experience: A Thread of Participation Uncertainties Amongst Adult Returnees at a University in a Developing Context
Authors: Lwanga Jordan Byekwaso , Ngaka Willy , Openjuru George Ladaah
Published: October 2024

Learning in adulthood offers prospects for (re)defining and strengthening our self-worth for sustainable personal survival, growth, and development. The rate at which adults enroll in university studies upholds the longstanding belief that education is an enabler for social participation, progress, and transformation. An adult, who chooses to stop learning chooses to stagnate in adulthood. However, sometimes, their decision to return to class is submerged in circles of uncertainties that impede their social integration and participation in a system that was not originally designed for them. This article uses the principle of inclusion of the social justice perspective to explore the nature of adult returnees’ participation uncertainties and their implications on the teaching and learning processes. We draw our findings from narratives of adult returnees and academic staff at a public university in Uganda. This study acknowledges that adult returnees experience multiple issues that humiliate, obstruct, and hinder their participation and learning aspirations. However, this should not be grounds for underrating what they can do and achieve during a learning encounter. We suggest learner support systems and instruction practices that restore these learners’ confidence and stimulate and guide their participation in the teaching and learning process
Exploring How Female Scientists are Uplifted in Research Networks in STEM Fields in Public Universities in Uganda
Authors: Galenda Safina
Published: October 2024

Participation in research networks is inevitable for the female scientists in the Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields because they provide a platform for collaborative activities. New research communities of women are created to support each other through mentoring, advancing shared research interests, co-organizing conferences with men, participating in the editorial and the publications. It was on this basis that this study explored how female scientists were uplifted by research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda. This study was anchored on the existential phenomenology by Martin Heidegger in the interpretive world view. Eight female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda were interviewed and they were selected from the hard applied and hard pure disciplines as classified in Becher and Biglan’s typology of academic disciplines. Using thematic analysis, two themes such as research collaboration activities and capacity development emerged in this study. This qualitative study set out to explore how female scientists were uplifted in research networks in public universities in Uganda.The public universities included Makerere University, Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Gulu University and Busitema University. Both semi-structured interviews and document check data generation strategies were used in this study. In semi-structured interviews, a sample comprising eight female academics with not less than five years in research networks in public universities were selected, while documents such as the annual reports and strategic plans were used. This study concludes that research networks are uplifting the female scientists in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda because they were internationally exposed, networked, funded, research skills were strengthened, and progressed in career. This study concludes that it was important for female scientists to access physical and human resource in their research networks as this increased their research performance and outputs in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda. This study therefore recommends that, to uplift female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda, female scientists in the research networks and senior colleagues should act as ambassadors and mentors to young female scientists in STEM fields

В представленной научной статье предпринимается попытка комплексного изучения проблемных и дискуссионных вопросов расширения предмета уголовно-исполнительного права. Авторами последовательно проанализированы подходы ученых-пенитенциаристов по рассматриваемому вопросу. В первую очередь обращено внимание на конкретизацию и унификацию иных мер уголовно-правового характера. Авторами статьи обосновывается позиция, согласно которой наказание при его исполнении связывается не только с исправительными и предупредительными мерами, но и иными некарательными мерами. Соответственно наказание в процессе его исполнения соединяется с некарательным воздействием. В статье высказано мнение, согласно которому постпенальные отношения в пределах срока судимости могут быть включены в предмет уголовно-исполнительного права. Приводятся примеры из зарубежного законодательства, в том числе постсоветского пространства. Аргументирована позиция, согласно которой действующее уголовно-исполнительное законодательство наряду с закрепленными целями может быть дополнено новой целью – ресоциализацией осужденных. Указанная позиция авторов основана на изучении действующего законодательства о пробации, мнений ученых-пенитенциаристов.

The presented scientific article attempts to comprehensively study problematic and controversial issues of expanding the subject of penal enforcement law. The authors have consistently analyzed the approaches of penitentiary scientists on the issue under consideration. First of all, attention is paid to the concretization and unification of other criminal law measures. The authors of the article substantiate the position according to which punishment in its execution is associated not only with corrective and preventive measures, but also with other non-punitive measures. Accordingly, punishment in the process of its execution is combined with non-punitive effects. The article expresses the opinion that post-marital relations within the term of a criminal record can be included in the subject of penal enforcement law. Examples from foreign legislation, including the post-Soviet space, are given. The position is argued that the current penal enforcement legislation, along with the fixed goals, can be supplemented with a new goal – the re–socialization of convicts. This position of the authors is based on the study of the current legislation on probation, the opinions of penitentiary scientists.

Authors: Манюхин И.С.
Published: October 2024

В статье предпринята попытка раскрыть основополагающую роль российских традиционных ценностей в историческом образовании. С этой целью затрагиваются вопросы о смене цивилизационной парадигмы российского образования в 1990-х – начале 2000-х гг., приведшей к утрате воспитательной компоненты и породившей кризис так называемого потерянного поколения, преодолении этого кризиса. Раскрывается соотношение понятий «цивилизация» и «государство», дается характеристика законодательных инициатив, направленных на закрепление традиционных ценностей в правовой сфере и образовательной политике. Поднимается вопрос о роли традиционных духовных ценностей в СССР как продолжении нравственной традиции народа и его нравственных идеалов. Особое внимание уделяется роли духовных доминант общественного исторического сознания в преемственности форм российской государственности. Указывается, что, несмотря на существенную разницу политического и социально-экономического развития этих форм, их духовную основу составляли такие приоритеты, как солидарность, соборность, согласие, справедливость, являющиеся основами нашего веками складывавшегося общественного уклада. На основании анализа исторических, правовых источников по указанному вопросу делается вывод о создании новой методологической парадигмы преподавания истории, особое место в которой уделяется защите исторической памяти, в том числе памяти о подвиге советского народа в годы Великой Отечественной войны как одной из базовых российских ценностей.

The article attempts to reveal the fundamental role of Russian traditional values in historical education. To this end, the issues of changing the civilizational paradigm of Russian education in the 1990s and early 2000s, which led to the loss of the educational component and gave rise to the crisis of the so-called lost generation, overcoming this crisis, are raised. The correlation between the concepts of civilization and the state is revealed, and the characteristics of legislative initiatives aimed at consolidating traditional values in the legal sphere and educational policy are given. The question is raised about the role of traditional spiritual values in the USSR as a continuation of the moral tradition of the people and their moral ideals. Special attention is paid to the role of the spiritual dominants of public historical consciousness in the continuity of the forms of Russian statehood. It is pointed out that despite the significant difference in the political and socio-economic development of these forms, their spiritual basis was formed by such rituals such as solidarity, conciliarity, concord, justice, which are the foundations of our centuries-old social order. Based on the analysis of historical and legal sources on this issue, it is concluded that a new methodological paradigm of teaching history has been created, a special place in which is given to the protection of historical memory, including the memory of the feat of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War, as one of the basic Russian values.

Меры профилактики противодействия коррупции отражены в законодательной базе Российской Федерации. Данные нормативные правовые акты ставят перед образовательными организациями задачу подготовки квалифицированных кадров для современного общества, в том числе и для сотрудников правоохранительных структур. Главной задачей ведомственного образования является создание благоприятных условий для формирования личности, способной противостоять негативным реалиям общества, в число которых при современных условиях развития входит устойчивость личности к коррупциогенным ситуациям. Затрагивая вопрос об устойчивости личности к коррупциогенным ситуациям, необходимо акцентировать свое внимание на развитии определенного вида направленности личности, которая должна иметь антикоррупционный характер. Формирование подобного вида направленности личности должно осуществляться целенаправленно и системно, находясь в непосредственной взаимосвязи с процессом обучения и воспитания. Изучение уровня сформированности структурных компонентов антикоррупционной направленности личности позволит в дальнейшем разработать эффективные технологии и способы предупреждения коррупционного поведения личности на основе результатов эмпирического исследования. Предметом исследования является рассмотрение термина «антикоррупционая направленность личности».

Anti-corruption prevention measures are reflected in the legislative framework of the Russian Federation. These normative legal acts set educational organizations the task of training qualified personnel for modern society, including for law enforcement officers. The main task of departmental education is to create favorable conditions for the formation of a personality capable of resisting the negative realities of society, among which, under modern conditions of development, is the resistance of the individual to corrupt situations. Touching upon the issue of personal resistance to corruption-related situations, it is necessary to focus on the development of a certain type of personality orientation, which should have an anti-corruption character. The formation of this type of personality orientation should be carried out purposefully and systematically, being in direct relationship with the process of education and upbringing. The study of the level of formation of the structural components of the anti-corruption orientation of the individual will allow further development of effective technologies and methods for preventing corrupt behavior of the individual based on the results of empirical research. The subject of the study is the consideration of the term «anti-corruption orientation of personality».

LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH SUDAN: A THOUGHT-PROVOKING REVIEW
Authors: CHOL RIAK JACOB DUT
Published: October 2024

The paper has argued the vitality of leadership and management in South Sudan. It does so by thought-provokingly reviewing the current situation of leadership and management in the nascent state. While the paper begun the review with the concept of leadership and management and their theories, it has found out the situation of leadership and management in South Sudan to be very dire. This is because most of the leaders and managers in South Sudan are characterized by incompetency, autocracy and lack of vision to drive their programmes and projects to their citizens. The paper then recommends the ten commandments of leadership and management in South Sudan. These commandments include effective planning & budgeting, effective communication & coordination, effective reporting, effective monitoring & evaluation, effective accountability & transparency, effective capacity building, effective auditing (programmes & finances), effective control, effective adherence to all laws, regulations, policies, systems & procedures and effective supervision. Moreover, the necessity of corporate governance is very critical in order to move South Sudan to the path of sustainable development. The paper used process-tracing and case study of South Sudan as the methodology. It concludes by arguing that leadership and management in South Sudan are more now important than before to leapfrog South Sudan into a prosperous Republic governs by effective laws, regulations, policies, systems and procedures. South Sudan needs to adopt transformative leadership in order to compete in the global programmes and projects. While its seems as impossible to set all well in South Sudan, it is possible with right attitude and zeal to turn things around and make them happen.

Photoluminescence color-tuning with polymer-dispersed fluorescent films containing two fluorinated diphenylacetylene-type fluorophores
Authors: Kobayashi Kazuki , Yamada Shigeyuki , Yasui Motohiro , Konno Tsutomu
Published: October 2024

The development of organic light-emitting devices has driven demand for new luminescent materials, particularly after the 2001 discovery of aggregation-induced emission. This study focuses on fluorinated diphenylacetylene-based luminescent molecules, revealing that specific molecular modifications can enhance fluorescence and achieve a wide range of photoluminescence colors. A simple and effective luminescence color-tuning method is proposed to investigate the photoluminescence behavior of two-component polymer dispersion films blended with two types of fluorinated diphenylacetylenes, namely blue- and yellow- or red-fluorescent fluorinated diphenylacetylenes. It is confirmed that if blue and green–yellow or yellow fluorophores are blended in appropriate ratios, a binary blend with color coordinates (0.20, 0.32) can be achieved, which approaches the white point of pure white emission. These findings contribute to the development of effective lighting and display devices as new white-light-emitting materials.
Research Data Management in German Academia from a Multiple Logic Perspective
Authors: Donner Eva Katharina , Huber Christian M.
Published: October 2024

The requirements for research data management (RDM) have increased. Due to academia’s neoliberalization, however, researchers already face a high workload within a hypercompetitive environment. The demand to integrate RDM as an additional task into academics’ day-today actions seems to be quixotic. To deepen our understanding of early career researchers’ (ECRs) daily work arbitrage, we need to know more about their behavior, actions, and decisions in relation to RDM. Drawing on a multiple institutional logics perspective at the micro-level, we conducted 40 semistructured interviews at German higher education institutions (HEIs) to investigate how ECRs respond to institutional logics in the context of RDM. Our findings revealed three profiles – the conformist, the waverer, and the resister – that make use of different response strategies to the state, market, professional, and community logic. We contribute to institutional logic research at the micro-level and, in addition, broaden prior research on HEIs and RDM by taking neoliberal academia into account.

The primary goal of this research is to examine how different strategic behaviors adopted by processors affect the workload management and overall efficiency of the system. Specifically, the study focuses on the attainment of a pure strategy Nash Equilibrium and explores its implications on system performance. In this context, Nash Equilibrium is considered as a state where no player has anything to gain by changing only their own strategy unilaterally, suggesting a stable, yet not necessarily optimal, configuration under strategic interactions. The paper rigorously develops a formal mathematical model and employs extensive simulations to validate the theoretical findings, thus ensuring the reliability of the proposed model. Additionally, adaptive algorithms for dynamic task allocation are proposed, aimed at enhancing system flexibility and efficiency in real-time processing environments. Key results from this study highlight that while Nash Equilibrium fosters stability within the system, the adoption of optimal cooperative strategies significantly improves operational efficiency and minimizes transaction costs. These findings are illustrated through detailed 3D plots and tabulated results, which provide a detailed examination of how strategic decisions influence system performance under varying conditions, such as fluctuating system loads and migration costs. The analysis also examines the balance between individual processor job satisfaction and overall system performance, highlighting the effect of rigid task reallocation frameworks. Through this study, the paper not only improves our understanding of strategic interactions within computational systems but also provides key ideas that could guide the development of more efficient computational frameworks for various applications.

Floods are among the most frequent and devastating natural disasters, causing significant economic damage and loss of life worldwide. Effective flood risk management relies on accurate modeling techniques that can predict vulnerable areas and assess potential impacts. In this study, flood dynamics are simulated in the Irtysh River Basin near Ust-Kamenogorsk, a city in East Kazakhstan prone to seasonal flooding using high-resolution satellite imagery and digital elevation data. The primary objective is to visually model flood risks based on terrain characteristics. The study utilizes imagery sourced from the Mapbox platform, which combines data from MODIS, Landsat 7, Maxar, and the Google Earth Engine, providing access to Sentinel-2 surface reflectance imagery at 10-meter resolution. Elevation data from the Copernicus global digital elevation model, with a 30-meter resolution, is used to simulate flood progression. The flood simulation involves calculating flood depth relative to the terrain’s elevation, allowing for a pixel-by-pixel determination of submerged areas. Each simulation incrementally increases water levels to generate a sequence of images, showcasing the progression of flooding over time. The study describes hydraulic soil characteristics usage, and focuses on visualizing flood risk based on terrain data and water level changes. The simulation results indicate that flooding initially impacts riverbanks as water flow starts from the northwest of the city with critical infrastructure becoming vulnerable once water levels exceed 2 meters from the lowest elevation point. These findings highlight the potential of high-resolution satellite imagery and terrain data for flood risk assessment and improving urban flood preparedness. The results provide valuable insights into flood progression enabling more informed decision-making for disaster mitigation.

This article presents a detailed analytical evaluation and comprehensive description of a mathematical model designed to simulate blood flow within the human cardiovascular system. The primary objective of this research is to develop a computational model capable of accurately simulating blood flow dynamics and to assess the variations in results using different numerical methods for solving the Navier-Stokes equations, which govern fluid motion. To achieve this, the study begins with an in-depth examination of the anatomy of the cardiovascular system, including various cardiovascular diseases such as stenosis and atherosclerosis, which significantly affect blood flow. The model incorporates important characteristics of blood, treating it as a viscous fluid under laminar flow conditions. Using the Navier-Stokes equations, it was developed a Python-based model to simulate these flow conditions and solve for different flow variables, such as velocity and pressure fields, under both normal and pathological conditions. The computational model was developed using two numerical methods: the Euler method and the Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method, which were compared in terms of their computational efficiency and accuracy. The simulations generated insights into how plaque buildup (stenosis) affects blood flow by altering wall shear stress and velocity profiles. This model, while built on foundational fluid dynamics principles, serves as an essential step towards creating a virtual reality (VR) surgical simulator for cardiovascular procedures. This simulator aims to assist surgeons in visualizing and planning surgical interventions by providing an interactive and realistic environment for studying blood flow and related complications.
