Influenza, highly contagious in hospital settings, imposes a substantial disease burden globally, and influenza vaccination is critical for healthcare workers (HCWs) to prevent this illness. This study assessed influenza vaccine uptake, including its associated factors among HCWs of tertiary care hospitals in Bangladesh. Between September and December 2020, this multicenter study included 2046 HCWs from 11 hospitals. Face-to-face interviews were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire to collect data from physicians, nurses, and cleaning and administrative staff for the survey. Only 13.8% (283/2046) of HCWs received the influenza vaccine, of which the majority (76.7%, 217/283) received it for free from the hospital. Nurses had the highest (20.0%, 187/934) influenza vaccine coverage, followed by physicians at 13.5% (71/526), whereas cleaning staff had the lowest at 6.0% (19/318). Among unvaccinated HCWs, the desire to get vaccinated was high (86.2%), with half of the respondents even being willing to pay for it. The HCWs who were aware of the influenza vaccine were over five times more likely to get the vaccine (OR 5.63; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.88) compared to those who were not. HCWs in Bangladesh were vaccinated against influenza at a very low rate. Free and mandatory influenza vaccination programs should be initiated to optimize vaccine coverage among HCWs.

This study aimed to compare adverse reactions following BNT162b2 and influenza vaccinations in healthcare workers. This study included healthcare workers who received the BNT162b2 vaccine and/or inactivated influenza vaccine, quadrivalent (IIV4), on 18–29 October 2021 at a tertiary hospital in Korea. IIV4 was administered and BNT162b2 was subsequently administered one week later. The participants responded to a mobile questionnaire regarding adverse events. The overall adverse reaction rates were 90.6% in the BNT162b2 + IIV4 group, 90.4% in the BNT162b2 alone group, and 44.1% in the IIV4 alone group (p < 0.001). Fever occurred in 19.5%, 26.9%, and 3.3% of participants in the BNT162b2 + IIV4, BNT162b2 alone, and IIV4 alone groups, respectively (p < 0.001). The most common local and systemic adverse reactions were injection site pain (65.0%) and fatigue (58.6%), respectively. Injection-site pain was experienced by 88.7%, 88.5%, and 37.5% of the BNT162b2 + IIV4, BNT162b2 alone, and IIV4 alone groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Fatigue was experienced by 74.8%, 78.8%, and 38.6% of the BNT162b2 + IIV4, BNT162b2 alone, and IIV4 alone groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Adverse reactions occurred at a significantly higher frequency after BNT162b2 than after IIV4. The frequency of adverse reactions one week after vaccination with IIV4 and BNT162b2 was not different from that after vaccination with BNT162b2 alone. Therefore, coadministration of influenza vaccine with BNT162b2 can be expected to be safe.

Background: The fast spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus accelerated efforts to create an effective vaccine, and a novel mRNA vaccine was the first to appear effective. Scientific evidence regarding mRNA vaccination is limited; therefore, understanding how the immune system responds to an mRNA vaccine is critical. Our study was aimed at a long-term analysis of the presence and maintenance of the immune response using the chemiluminescent method by analyzing the level of IgG antibodies in vaccinated people who were and were not infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Materials and methods: Healthcare workers with a history of COVID-19 or who were naïve to the infection were recruited for this study and administered two subsequent doses of the Comirnaty vaccine. IgG SRBD antibody levels were evaluated every month for six consecutive months using the chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA). Results: A total of 149 individuals were recruited for this study, 68 had evidence of past COVID-19 infection, with 63 exhibiting elevated IgG SRBD antibody levels at initial evaluation. Statistically significant differences were observed between COVID-19 convalescents and non-convalescents at all study time points, with the convalescent group consequently representing higher antibody levels. Conclusions: COVID-19 convalescents showed a stronger immune response to the vaccine after the first dose. This group exhibited higher IgG levels in all examinations during the observation period. The natural waning of antibody levels can be observed within six months. A booster vaccination may be required. No serious side effects were observed.

Background: V-306 is a virus-like particle-based vaccine candidate displaying respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F site II protein mimetics (FsIIm) as an antigenic epitope. Methods: This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalating, first-in-human study, conducted in 60 women aged 18–45 years. Twenty subjects per cohort (15 vaccine and five placebo) received two V-306 intramuscular administrations on Days 0 and 56 at 15 µg, 50 µg, or 150 µg. Safety and immunogenicity were assessed after each vaccination and for 1 year in total. Results: V-306 was safe and well tolerated at all dose levels, with no increase in reactogenicity and unsolicited adverse events between the first and second administrations. At 50 µg and 150 µg, V-306 induced an increase in FsIIm-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers, which lasted at least 4 months. This did not translate into an increase in RSV-neutralizing antibody titers, which were already high at baseline. No increase in the anti-F protein-specific IgG titers was observed, which were also high in most subjects at baseline due to past natural infections. Conclusions: V-306 was safe and well-tolerated. Future modifications of the vaccine and assay conditions will likely improve the results of vaccination.

Detection, Quantification and Molecular Characterization of Fowl Adenoviruses Circulating in Ecuadorian Chicken Flocks during 2019–2021
Authors: Santander-Parra Silvana H. , Caza Manuel , Nuñez Luis
Published: February 2023

Fowl adenoviruses are a group of pathogens that cause large economic losses worldwide in the poultry industry, in addition to producing a wide range of diseases, such as IBH, HHS, and enteric and respiratory diseases. The objective of this study was to quantify, identify, and molecularly characterize the types of FAdV circulating in commercial poultry farms (broilers, breeders, and layers) in Ecuador from 2019 to 2021. Molecular characterization was performed by PCR, quantification by qPCR, and subsequent sequencing for each positive sample. The results indicated that the FAdV genotypes circulating in our country are FAdV-2/D2, FAdV-6/E1, FAdV-8a/E2, and FAdV-11/D3; the samples were grouped into different groups that contain sequences that were obtained from countries in Africa, Asia, and America, and that are found in birds at different ages, since early age where can cause different clinical signs, such as diarrhea, ruffled feathers and dwarfism. Therefore, these results indicate that several genotypes of the virus are circulating in commercial poultry flocks, suggesting that biosecurity measures on farms should be improved, in addition to carrying out new or improved vaccination plans.

The house fly (Musca domestica) is a very common insect, abundantly present in farm settings. These insects are attracted by organic substrates and can easily be contaminated by several pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria. The aim of this survey was to evaluate the presence of Salmonella spp. and other Enterobacteriaceae in house flies captured in small-medium size farms, located in Northwest Tuscany, Central Italy, and to evaluate their antimicrobial resistance; furthermore, isolates were tested for extended spectrum β-lactamase and carbapenems resistance, considering the importance these antimicrobials have in human therapy. A total of 35 traps were placed in seven poultry and 15 swine farms; three different kinds of samples were analyzed from each trap, representing attractant substrate, insect body surface, and insect whole bodies. Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from 86.36% of farms, 82.87% of traps, and 60.95% of samples; high levels of resistance were detected for ampicillin (61.25% of resistant isolates) and tetracycline (42.5% of resistant isolates). One extended spectrum β-lactamase producer strain was isolated, carrying the blaTEM-1 gene. Salmonella spp. was detected in 36.36% of farms, 25.71% of traps, and 15.24% of samples. Five different serovars were identified: Kentucky, Kisarawe, London, Napoli, and Rubislaw; some isolates were in R phase. Resistance was detected mainly for ampicillin (31.21%) and tetracycline (31.21%). House flies could represent a serious hazard for biosecurity plans at the farm level, carrying and sharing relevant pathogenic and antimicrobial resistant bacteria.

Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is associated with recipient inflammation and infection, which may be triggered by excessive circulating iron. Iron chelation following transfusion may reduce these risks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of deferoxamine on circulating iron and inflammation biomarkers over time and in vitro growth of Escherichia coli (E. coli) following RBC transfusion in dogs with atraumatic hemorrhage. Anesthetized dogs were subject to atraumatic hemorrhage and transfusion of RBCs, then randomized to receive either deferoxamine or saline placebo of equivalent volume (n = 10 per group) in a blinded fashion. Blood was sampled before hemorrhage and then 2, 4, and 6 h later. Following hemorrhage and RBC transfusion, free iron increased in all dogs over time (both p < 0.001). Inflammation biomarkers interleukin-6 (IL6), CXC motif chemokine-8 (CXCL8), interleukin-10 (IL10), and keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC) increased in all dogs over time (all p < 0.001). Logarithmic growth of E. coli clones within blood collected 6 h post-transfusion was not different between groups. Only total iron-binding capacity was different between groups over time, being significantly increased in the deferoxamine group at 2 and 4 h post-transfusion (both p < 0.001). In summary, while free iron and inflammation biomarkers increased post-RBC transfusion, deferoxamine administration did not impact circulating free iron, inflammation biomarkers, or in vitro growth of E. coli when compared with placebo.

Published: February 2023

Spatial landslide susceptibility assessment is a fundamental part of landslide risk management and land-use planning. The main objective of this study is to apply the Credal Decision Tree (CDT), adaptive boosting Credal Decision Tree (AdaCDT), and random subspace Credal Decision Tree (RSCDT) models to construct landslide susceptibility maps in Zhashui County, China. The observed 169 historical landslides were classified into two groups: 70% (118 landslides) for training and 30% (51 landslides) for validation. To compare and validate the performance of the three models, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were utilized. Specifically, the success rates of the CDT model, AdaCDT model, and RSCDT model were 0.788, 0.821, and 0.847, respectively, while the corresponding prediction rates were 0.771, 0.802, and 0.861, respectively. In sum, the two ensemble models can effectively improve the performance accuracy of an individual CDT model, and the RSCDT model was proven to be superior to the other two models. Therefore, ensemble models are capable of being novel and promising approaches for the spatial prediction and zonation of a certain region’s landslide susceptibility.

Published: February 2023

Predicting the deformation of landslides is significant for landslide early warning. Taking the Shuping landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area (TGRA) as a case, the displacement is decomposed into two components by a time series model (TSM). The least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) model optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) is selected to predict the landslide displacement prediction based on rainfall and reservoir water level (RWL). Five parameters, including rainfall over the previous month, rainfall over the previous two months, RWL, change in RWL over the previous month and period displacement over the previous half year, are selected as the input variables. The relationships between the five parameters and the landslide displacement are revealed by grey correlation analysis. The PSO-LSSVM model is used to predict the periodic term displacement (PTD), and the least squares method is applied to predict the trend term displacement (TTD). With the same input variables, the back propagation (BP) model and the PSO-SVM model are also developed for comparative analysis. In the PSO-LSSVM model, the R2 of three monitoring stations is larger than 0.98, and the MAE values and the RMSE values are the smallest among the three models. The outcomes demonstrate that the PSO-LSSVM model has a high accuracy in predicting landslide displacement.

The presence of water or the degree of soil saturation has a direct impact on the root development and function in rice. In this regard, a pot investigation was performed to test the response of root traits and yield components of boro (irrigated) rice. Three boro rice varieties named Binadhan-10, Hira-2 and BRRI dhan 29 were grown at four irrigation regimes, viz. continuous flooding (CF), saturation (S), 75% S and 50% S at Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh, throughout the boro period of 2020–2021. The study was replicated three times by employing a completely randomized design (CRD) method. The study revealed a drastic decline in root attributes at 75% and 50% S. A significant increase in root number (RN), root length (RL), root volume (RV), total dry matter (TDM) and grain yield (GY) under S condition followed by CF was observed. Binadhan-10 exhibited the largest scores of RN (359.00), RL (1577.83 cm) and RV (8.34 cm3 hill−1) at 80 DAT under S condition. Root attributes and GY were found to be substantially and positively associated in all observations. Binadhan-10 performed best with regard to seed output (26.13 g pot−1) under S condition. S condition increased the yield of Binadhan-10 in CF, 75% S and 50% S by 4.06%, 23.72% and 46.00%, respectively.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) represent an important input of contaminants in the environment. Therefore, it is critical to continuously monitor the performance of WWTPs to take appropriate action and avoid an influx of contaminants in the environment. In this study, a battery of seven in vitro bioassays covering a selected spectrum of toxicity effects is proposed for quality control of wastewater effluents. The bioassays address mixture toxicity, which is the combined adverse effect of multiple contaminants and can act as an early warning system. The proposed battery was applied to samples from 11 WWTPs of representative technology from the Danube River Basin (DRB). The order of toxic effects in terms of extent of exceedance of effect-based trigger values (EBTs) was PAH (PAH activity) > PXR (xenobiotic metabolism) > ERα (estrogenic activity) > PPARγ > Nrf2 (oxidative stress) > anti-AR > GR. A mitigation plan for WWTP operators based on EBT exceedance is proposed. This study demonstrates that the proposed effect-based monitoring battery is a complementary tool to the chemical analysis approach. A regular application of such time- and cost-effective bioanalytical tools in the WWTPs of the DRB is proposed to provide a ‘safety net’ for aquatic ecosystems.

Lao PDR, a landlocked country in the lower Mekong River basin of Southeast Asia, has been considered a global biodiversity hotspot with a high level of biological endemism. In recent years, urban development and industrialization have affected the water quality of freshwater ecosystems in Lao PDR. However, the assessment of water quality in the country is primarily focused on a physicochemical method, while the application of a multimetric index (MMI) approach using benthic macroinvertebrates for biomonitoring in rivers and streams has not been established. MMI, based on benthic macroinvertebrates, is a biomonitoring tool that considers the effects of multiple anthropogenic impacts on benthic macroinvertebrate metrics associated with their biological attributes (e.g., taxa richness, composition, pollution tolerance, habits, and functional feeding) and aggregates individual metrics into a single value for assessing the water quality and health conditions of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we developed an MMI based on macroinvertebrate communities collected during 2016–2018 from 10 localities of streams and wadeable rivers in Lao PDR. Of the 54 potential metrics tested, 35 candidate macroinvertebrate metrics representing richness, composition, trophic structure, habit, and tolerance to pollution were selected, while 19 metrics were excluded. Of the 35-candidate metrics, a total of 11 core metrics (Total taxa, EPT taxa, Ephemeroptera taxa, %Diptera, %Plecoptera, %Tolerant, Beck’s biotic index, %Intolerant, Filterers taxa, %Sprawlers, and %Burrowers) were finally selected for the development of MMI based on their sensitivity, redundancy, and easy-to-apply tool for the biomonitoring program. These metrics can be used to distinguish the reference (seven sites) from stressed conditions (seven sites). In addition, the final MMI scores classified 40 sampling sites into four classes of water quality, including excellent (25%), good (10%), fair (60%), and poor (5%), which the conventional physicochemical method could not clearly distinguish. The Lao MMI developed in this study is an effective tool for evaluating the water conditions of sites affected by human activities, particularly agricultural areas, and, thus, is appropriate for use in future studies for assessing the ecological conditions of rivers and streams in the Mekong region.

The calculation of water supply is affected by many factors, such as water requirements, water-supply capacity, etc., which change with time and the environment. The traditional calculation methods are generally used under several fixed operating situations. The scenarios are too few to cover the various situations encountered in actual operations and take insufficient account of boundary conditions, such as reservoir inflow, water requirements, etc. The water-supply schemes facilitated by these methods are finite and not adaptable to the ever-changing, producing environment. Therefore, based on a traditional water supply-demand balance analysis, this study established a dynamic calculation model that takes into account different variables, such as reservoir inflow, ecological flow, and water demand. This study also constructed a dynamic simulation system based on the comprehensive, integrated platform and dynamic calculation model, which shortens the calculation period from a month to a day. The results show that the water-supply assurance rates calculated under different conditions reach higher than 93.9% for domestic and production, and higher than 50.9% for agriculture, which all exceed the design assurance rates. Additionally, the dynamic calculation model can significantly improve the calculation efficiency, playing an important role in the formulation of the project-operation plan and project-benefit evaluation.
Effective Management Changes to Reduce Halogens, Sulfate, and TDS in the Monongahela River Basin, 2009–2019

Published: February 2023

The Monongahela River Basin has an extensive history of fossil fuel development, including coal mining and natural gas extraction. In late summer 2008, total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations exceeding the United States Environmental Protection Agency′s (EPA) secondary drinking water standards were detected. After determining the source, a voluntary discharge management plan (VDMP) was developed by the West Virginia Water Research Institute (WVWRI) and implemented by the coal industry (2010). Additional remediation actions included Pennsylvania’s prohibition of produced wastewater in publicly owned treatment facilities (2011) and construction of a reverse osmosis treatment facility (2013). We used a locally weighted polynomial regression in conjunction with a segmented regression to assess the discharge and concentration trends/changepoints for bromide, chloride, sulfate, and total dissolved solids at various locations relative to the three remedial actions. We detected significant (α < 0.05) positive trends for discharge and significant negative trends for bromide, chloride, sulfate, and total dissolved solids. In conjunction, we also detected 1–4 changepoints within each model. Additionally, a linear mixed effects model containing discharge and remedial actions was used to measure the effectiveness of each remediation action in reducing TDS over time. Of the three remedial actions, the VDMP by itself was effective in maintaining river sulfate and TDS levels below the secondary drinking water standards (−0.12, p-value = 0.002). The combination of the VDMP with Pennsylvania’s produced water prohibition (−0.16, p-value < 0.001) and the combination of the VDMP with the reverse osmosis treatment facility (−0.19, p-value < 0.001) were also effective. The use of all three remedial actions produced the strongest effect (−0.37, p-value < 0.001) Since the implementation of these changes, primarily the VDMP which encompasses most of the watershed, TDS in the Monongahela has not exceeded the EPA′s secondary drinking water standards. Future management decisions should include efforts to further expand the VDMP and to monitor changes in land use or severe changes in discharge.

Published: February 2023

Watershed water cycles undergo profound changes under changing environments. Analyses of runoff evolution characteristics are fundamental to our understanding of the evolution of water cycles under changing environments. In this study, linear regression, moving average, Mann–Kendall, Pettitt, accumulative anomaly, STARS, wavelet analysis, and CEEMDAN methods were used to analyze the trends, mutations, and periodic and intrinsic dynamic patterns of runoff evolution using long-term historical data. The intra-annual distribution of runoff in the Dawen River Basin was uneven, with an overall decreasing trend and mutations in 1975–1976. The main periods of runoff were 1.9 and 2.2 years, and the strongest oscillations in the study period occurred in 1978–1983. The runoff decomposition high-frequency term (intra-annual fluctuation term) had a stronger fluctuation frequency, with a period of 0.51–0.55 years, while the low-frequency term (interannual fluctuation term) had a period of 1.55–2.26 years. The trend term for the runoff decomposition tended to decrease throughout the monitoring period and gradually stabilized at the end of the monitoring period, while the period gradually decreased from upstream to downstream. In summary, we used multiple methods to analyze the evolutionary characteristics of runoff, which are of great relevance to the adaptive management of water resources under changing environments.
An Object Classification Approach for Autonomous Vehicles Using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Alqarqaz Majd , Bani Younes Maram , Qaddoura Raneem
Published: February 2023

An intelligent, accurate, and powerful object detection system is required for automated driving systems to keep these vehicles aware of their surrounding objects. Thus, vehicles adapt their speed and operations to avoid crashing with the existing objects and follow the driving rules around the existence of emergency vehicles and installed traffic signs. The objects considered in this work are summarized by regular vehicles, big trucks, emergency vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, traffic lights, and traffic signs on the roadside. Autonomous vehicles are equipped with high-quality sensors and cameras, LiDAR, radars, and GPS tracking systems that help to detect existing objects, identify them, and determine their exact locations. However, these tools are costly and require regular maintenance. This work aims to develop an intelligent object classification mechanism for autonomous vehicles. The proposed mechanism uses machine learning technology to predict the existence of investigated objects over the road network early. We use different datasets to evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanism. Accuracy, Precision, F1-Score, G-Mean, and Recall are the measures considered in the experiments. Moreover, the proposed object classification mechanism is compared to other selected previous techniques in this field. The results show that grouping the dataset based on their mobility nature before applying the classification task improved the results for most of the algorithms, especially for vehicle detection.

Among the 520 AB entries of the Liber glossarum, 17 give interpretations of Hebrew, Syriac and Chaldaic names. They represent a little more than 3% of the total. Their main sources are Eucherius of Lyon, Instructiones II, Isidorus of Sevilla, Etymologies VII and some biblical commentaries of Hieronymus, whose Liber interpretationis nominum Hebraicorum is the most important source of Eucherius and Isidorus. The immediate and ultimate sources of each interpretation are indicated and then the compiler’s method of working is explained. Paradoxically, most of the time, the compiler introduces interpretations of Hebrew names by a simple ‘‘ interpretatur’’, without mentioning the Hebrew language.

La description des langues en danger est cruciale pour la typologie linguistique, comme source possible d’information sur des types de structures non attestés dans les langues préalablement décrites. Inversement, une bonne information sur l’état des connaissances en typologie est particulièrement utile aux linguistes qui décrivent des langues jusque là peu décrites, ce qui est le cas de la plupart des langues en danger. Toutefois, les typologues ne doivent pas perdre de vue qu’il y a un problème à mettre sur le même plan, dans la recherche de généralisations typologiques, des langues toujours bien vivantes et largement décrites, et d’autres dont l’unique description est impossible à vérifier ou à compléter. En outre, on ne peut pas travailler sur des langues moribondes comme sur des langues qui sont encore le moyen de communication usuel d’une communauté, et on peut avoir des doutes sur la représentativité des données recueillies dans ces conditions, surtout dans des domaines comme la syntaxe.

Pajak merupakan sumber pendapatan yang paling dapat diandalkan untuk membiayai pengeluaran pemerintah. Pemerintah lebih leluasa menggunakan hasil pajak untuk membiayai berbagai kebutuhan dibandingkan dengan sumber pembiayaan lainnya. Kenyataan yang menyakitkan saat ini adalah pemerintah di Indonesia malah menghadapi banyak masalah dengan membiayai defisitnya dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Banyak warga terus menghindari pajak. Konsekuensinya, kepatuhan wajib pajak terhadap peraturan perpajakan yang berlaku menjadi tujuan utama pemerintah. Oleh karena itu, pemahaman tentang faktor pendorong kepatuhan wajib pajak menjadi topik yang penting untuk dikaji secara ilmiah. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk melihat pengaruh faktor psikologis sosial yaitu keadilan prosedural, keadilan distributif dan keadilan retributif terhadap kepatuhan wajib pajak terhadap 107 wajib pajak bukan pegawai di Kota Padang. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan dianalisis dengan regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketiga variabel masing-masing keadilan prosedural, keadilan distributif dan keadilan retributif berpengaruh terhadap kepatuhan wajib pajak. Ditjen Pajak mengharapkan komitmennya untuk meningkatkan citra yang baik di mata masyarakat sehingga berujung pada peningkatan kepercayaan terhadap pengelolaan pajak. Sehingga kepatuhan pajak dapat ditegakkan dan dipatuhi secara sukarela.

Akuntan adalah salah satu profesi yang diramalkan oleh para ahli akan tergantikan perannya oleh teknologi pada masa yang akan datang. Hal ini tentu saja menjadi tantangan bagi kampus-kampus yang membuka program studi akuntansi dan mahasiswa-mahasiswa akuntansi. Walaupun kondisi tersebut merupakan sebuah ramalan, tetapi ramalan tersebut dihasilkan setelah para ahli melakukan penelitian-penelitian. Faktanya, telah ada beberapa profesi yang mulai berkurang permintaannya, misalnya tenaga supporting dalam industri perbankan. Kondisi inilah yang menyebabkan ramalan-ramalan tersebut bukan isapan jempol semata. Tentu saja tantangan tersebut harus dijawab dengan persiapan-persiapan yang matang, sehingga ketika ramalan itu mulai terwujud, kampus-kampus, mahasiswa-mahasiwa dan lulusan-lulusan program studi akuntansi telah siap menghadapi kondisi tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur sejauh mana mahasiswa program akuntansi mengetahui tantangan tersebut. Dengan mengetahui sejauh mana mengetahui tantangan tersebut, maka kampus-kampus yang membuka program studi akuntansi, khususnya program studi akuntansi di lingkungan Universitas Lancang Kuning mulai merancang dan merencanakan langkah-langkah untuk mengantisipasi tantangan tersebut. Misalnya dengan membuka mata kuliah yang berkaitan dengan Accounting Artificial Intelligence. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kesiapan teknologi ternyata tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap pengetahuan teknologi Artificial Intelligence dalam bidang akuntansi.

For the development of the marine environment and coastal areas of Ukraine, its scientific, technological and innovative support by relevant scientific research and design developments is important and actual. For this purpose, for preliminary analysis in this area, a study of modern technological trends in the field of scientific and technical marine developments (military-technical aspect) was conducted, based on an information-analytical assessment of international patent databases. Researched areas: production of machines, equipment, vehicles, weapons and ammunition, various systems for providing naval forces. The data of the international information platform "Derwent Innovation" were used for the period 2017-2021. The dynamics of patenting and the rate of growth of the number of patents in the world and Ukraine in the maritime and naval spheres were evaluated based on the codes of the International Patent Classification using the Derwent Innovation international database. Based on the results of the study, an analysis of the dynamics of patenting and determination of the growth rate of the number of patents (2021/2017) is presented. Out of 25 thematic areas, 8 areas with the highest rates of patent activity and placement in the blue and green zones of the corresponding landscape maps constructed using Derwent Innovation tools were selected. The most promising technological directions for Ukrainian conditions in the marine and naval spheres for further research and design scientific and technical research have been identified. The presented results of information and patent research allow to identify the emergence of new technological tendencies, monitor global technological trends, identify advanced achievements and key scientific and technical players in the maritime and naval spheres for planning similar scientific and technical activities in Ukraine with time and resource savings. Further informational and analytical work in the specified directions should detail them and lead to the development (or correction) of the subject of scientific research works in the naval sphere.
