Authors: Timirgaleeva Rena , Pashteckiy Vladimir , Verdysh Mihail
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The socio-economic development of regions depends on the state and level of development of its industries, among which dynamically developing ones play an important role. Acting as development poles, such industries are able to spread the growth effect throughout the region by concentrating production in growth points. The purpose of the study is to deepen the theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of growth points in the region’s agro-industrial complex in the context of ensuring its sustainable development. The work used such research methods as statistical and system analysis, generalization and synthesis, monographic, abstract-logical. Scientific novelty. Research to identify and analyze trends in the development of Crimean agriculture has received further development. The stages and methodology for identifying growth points are proposed, taking into account regional characteristics. Results. The need to identify and activate growth points in the region’s agro-industrial complex to identify priority sectors is substantiated. The role of the theory of development poles and growth points in the formation of targeted programs and strategies for the development of the region is shown. Current directions and mechanisms for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Crimea are presented, which, being a driver of innovations and cluster development, can become the basis for identifying its growth points. Measures are proposed to enhance the action of tools for the development of growth points, as well as an algorithm for their step-by-step identification. To assess the readiness of potential growth points for digital transformation within the framework of the emerging cluster formation of the agro-industrial complex of the region, a comprehensive model is proposed that reflects key business processes and their readiness for automation as the starting stage of digital transformation. The practical significance of the study lies in the analysis and systematization of parameters and indicators in accordance with the stages of identifying growth points. This systematization will allow us to develop a roadmap for identifying growth points, which will identify sources (statistical, scientific, regulatory and other) data, a complete sequence of calculations and actions, which will be presented in further research by the authors.
Comparison of longissimus dorsi muscle and subcutaneous fat measurements and other measurements related to beef carcass retail yield
Authors:   , Miller John Clinton
Published: December 2024

"Numerous methods have been developed to evaluate the composition and quality of beef carcasses. Several of these methods, such as complete dissection and chemical analysis of the entire carcass, are laborious and expensive. More efficient methods are more frequently used. These include various objective and subjective measurements to predict composition of the carcass In terms of cut-out or actual cut-out of a half carcass or a specific cut that is considered to be representative of the entire carcass. Area of the Longissimus dorsi muscle and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat over this muscle are the two objective measurements most frequently used in predicting carcass meatiness. Stouffer (1961) presented data to show that the area of the Longissimus dorsi muscle and subcutaneous fat thickness varied between the 12th and 13th ribs. Work of Hedrick et al. (1963) indicated that the Longissimus dorsi muscle area and fat thickness of the right side compared to the left differed significantly within the same carcass. These reports Indicate the need for a better standardized ribbing procedure. It is also possible that area of the Longissimus dorsi muscle could account for more of the variation in total carcass cut-out than recent studies have indicated if a more uniform procedure could be developed. Boneless and partially boneless cutting procedures are currently being used to evaluate beef carcasses. A comparison of these two procedures would be useful in the interpretation of results reported. The objectives of this study were: (1) to compare bilateral measurements of the Longissimus dorsi muscle and subcutaneous fat at six different thoracic-lumbar locations; (2) determine and evaluate the relationships between Longissimus dorsi muscle area, subcutaneous fat thickness measurements at different locations and the yield of boneless and partially boneless retail cuts of the left and right sides, respectively; (3) determine and evaluate the relationships between other objective and subjective carcass and wholesale cut measurements and the yield of boneless and partially boneless retail cuts of the left and right sides, respectively; and (4) to compare the yield of boneless retail cuts from the left side with the yield of partially boneless retail cuts from the right side."--Introduction.
An investigation of a dual rotor internal combustion engine
Authors:   , Burcham Frank W. Jr.
Published: December 2024

"INTRODUCTION: "The rotary engine, after overcoming some early teething troubles, will take a much more important place than the turbine in competition with piston engines for cars." This forecast by Dr. Fernand Picard indicates the present interest and importance of rotary engines. A rotary engine is one in which the compression and expansion is accomplished only by rotation, not by reciprocation, as in the piston engine. Because there is no reciprocation in the rotary engine, there is no power wasted in accelerating and decelerating a piston twice for every power stroke. Consequently, the rotary engine can be lighter, vibrationless, and operate at a much higher rpm. This allows a small displacement engine to produce the same power as a much bigger piston engine. The problem in the design of a rotary engine is to find a configuration that utilizes rotary motion to create an efficient engine cycle. One design that has shown promise was originated in 1951 by a German, Dr. Felix Wankel. The only moving part of the Wankel engine is an eccentric triangular rotor. It rotates inside an epitrochoidal case. Since the rotor uncovers the intake and exhaust ports as needed, no valves are required. This also eliminates the cams and valve trains. The main problem with the Wankel engine is to seal the three parts of the engine from each other, as they rotate. In the United States, Curtiss Wright obtained a license to build the Wankel Engine. Their accomplishments included a 782 horsepower single rotor engine, a 4 rotor engine, a 60 cubic inch engine that produced 140 horse-power at 7000 rpm, and a small air-cooled engine. Work in the United States ended when a political dispute voided the license. Work on the Wankel has continued in Germany. NSU has installed a 500 cc. (30 cubic inch) Wankel engine in their sports car, the Spider. It produces 54 horsepower at 6000 rpm. A piston engine of the same displacement would produce about 20 horsepower. During tests, the Wankel proved to be at least competitive with the conventionally powered Spider. A small air-cooled Wankel engine is being built by Fichtel Sachs under NSU Wankel License. About 100 of these engines have been field tested, and production is now underway. It produces 6.5 horsepower at 5500 rpm, and weighs only 30 pounds. It is vibrationfree and very quiet, and is the smallest and lightest engine in its class. Note that this design uses three rotors. Gear teeth are used because of their sealing properties. Another idea for a rotary engine was developed by Charles N. McKinnon about 10 years ago. It consists of a two rotor design, similar to a gear pump. This idea was given to the author as a subject for his graduate research program. It is the purpose of this thesis to present the results of this research program, both from a theoretical and experimental viewpoint."--Page 1.

Understanding drought propagation is essential for effective water resource management. This study employs an innovative approach to examine the transition from meteorological drought (MD) to hydrological drought (HD) in the Upper Nan Watershed (UNW), Thailand, using the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) and standardized streamflow index (SSI). Cross-wavelet transform (XWT) and Pearson’s correlation analyses reveal a significant positive correlation between MD and HD, with the drought propagation time (DPT) ranging from 2 to 5 months, notably shorter during the dry season. The eastern UNW (Zone I) has the longest DPT, while the western UNW (Zone III) has the shortest. This study is distinguished by its integration of global teleconnection factors, such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Dipole Mode Index (DMI), and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), alongside local factors like climate, slope, and watershed morphometry. This dual focus provides a comprehensive analysis of drought dynamics, enhancing the understanding of drought propagation and its complexities. The integration of global and local influences provides insights applicable across diverse water resource management contexts. It highlights the critical role of forests in regulating water flow and extending the DPT, emphasizing the need for forest conservation and land use regulation in the headwaters. Despite challenges associated with highland meteorological data, findings offer improvements to existing drought monitoring and early warning systems, underscoring the importance of combining global and local factors in effective drought management strategies.

A Systematic Literature Review of Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks: Current Trends and Future Directions
Authors: Mwangi Peter Maina
Published: December 2024

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have
emerged as a key technology in various applications, ranging
from environmental monitoring to healthcare and industrial
automation. Efficient data communication among sensor
nodes is essential for the success of WSNs, and routing
protocols play a critical role in determining the overall
network performance. This review aims to comprehensively
analyze and synthesize the existing literature on routing
protocols in WSNs, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses,
and applications. The review also aims to highlight various
performance indicators (metrics) used by researchers to
evaluate the performance of routing protocols in WSN,
emerging trends that may influence the future design of
routing protocols in WSN, and security concerns in WSN
routing protocols. To attain this goal, a systematic literature
review process was employed based on Barbara
Kitchenham's original guidelines (2007). Relevant papers
were retrieved from major academic databases such as
Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, IEEE, and the ACM Digital
Library, as well as preprints posted on arXiv. The findings
demonstrate that various existing routing protocols have been
created throughout time and are classified as data-centric,
location-based, mobility-based, multi-path-based,
heterogeneity-based, and hierarchical routing protocols. The
routing protocols in WSNs vary depending on the application
and network architecture. The paper also focuses on the
performance criteria used to evaluate them, their pros,
limitations, areas of applications, emerging trends in WSN,
and security challenges. The future of WSN routing protocols
is moving toward intelligent, adaptive, and robust protocols
that can serve larger, more complex networks.

IMPLEMENTATION OF ESG PRINCIPLES AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE THE INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE COMPANY
Authors: Погребняк А.Ю. , Лактіонова В.В. , Костюнік О.В.
Published: December 2024

The need to introduce ecological, social and managerial aspects into the corporate and social culture of the enterprise is argued. New regulatory requirements, investors' rethinking of new criteria for choosing potential sources of financing, push managers to implement ESG principles in business strategy and all business processes. During the analysis of a potential project for investment, attention is paid not only to the possible amount of profit, but also the social component of the business is carefully studied. The views of investors on the issues of sustainable development and the need to disclose information in non-financial reporting are considered. Currently, in Ukraine, in the context of the implementation of the EU Directive on Corporate Reporting on Sustainable Development (CSRD), primarily banking institutions, insurance companies, as well as enterprises of public interest with more than 500 employees, and others are required to publish a non-financial report enterprises subject to the established criteria. The main obstacles and problematic aspects of ESG implementation are identified. It has been proven that an important part of the research is the comparative analysis of ESG and CSR. The article analyzes the differences between ESG risks and Business risks. The article also pays attention to strategic problems depending on industry specifics. Depending on the type of activity, significant attention is paid to certain topics that have the greatest impact on the company or potentially constitute an ESG risk. The authors emphasize that for the social aspect of financial institutions, attention should be paid to data security, because leaks of customer data can harm a significant part of society. In the context of management, an example of a strategic priority is corporate ethics to prevent conflicts of interest, corruption and other forms of misconduct. Considering ESG in the context of global economic trends allows us to conclude that the implementation of such approaches not only increases the reputation of companies, but also becomes a necessity for maintaining their competitiveness on the international market.
МОВНІ ЗАСОБИ ВИРАЖЕННЯ ЕМОТИВНОСТІ В АНГЛІЙСЬКОМОВНИХ ПЕЙЗАЖНИХ ОПИСАХ
Authors: Гуменюк Інна Леонідівна , Бондаренко Віктор Олександрович , Кумеда Олена Павлівна
Published: December 2024

Стаття присвячена вивченню мовних засобів вираження емотивності в англомовних пейзажних описах. Поставлено за мету виокремити мовні засоби вираження емотивності пейзажних описів в англійськомовній художній прозі завдяки проведеному контекстуальному аналізу. У праці проаналізовано реалізацію емоцій засобами фонетичного, морфологічного, лексичного й синтаксичного мовних рівнів на матеріалі описів природи, дібраних з англійськомовних прозових художніх творів. У результаті опрацювання наявних джерел визначено теоретичну базу, окреслено основні напрями наукового пошуку об’єктивації емотивності в описових фрагментах. Визначено, що емоційно марковані мовні одиниці здатні виконувати емотивну функцію, завдяки чому створюється емоційна картина оточуючого середовища в уяві гіпотетичного читача. Установлено, що на фонетичному рівні приголосні фонеми та їхні сполучення передають рух живих істот, зміни освітлення, різні звуки природи. Голосні надають мінорного або мажорного ладу краєвидам. Зазначено, що серед одиниць морфологічного рівня пейзажним замальовкам притаманне вживання суфіксів з позитивною та негативною конотацією, а також зміна морфологічного складу лексеми. З’ясовано, що лексика є найпродуктивнішим із засобів актуалізації емотивності англомовних прозових описів. Серед різних лексико-семантичних груп широко вживається оцінна лексика і сенсоризми, до яких відносять лексико-семантичні поля «погода-клімат», «світло-темрява», звукономінальні й звукосимволічні слова, одоризми, колоризми, слова на позначення стихії, температурних коливань, тактильні лексеми, а також лексика зі зниженим стилістичним тоном. Виявлено, що характерними для пейзажних фрагментів синтаксичними вербалізаторами є інверсія, емфатичне використання дієслова do, окличні й питальні речення.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs. Despite being preventable and curable, TB remains a significant global health issue, especially in developing countries. The success of TB treatment heavily depends on the accuracy of the diagnosis, which typically requires expertise from pulmonology or radiology specialists to interpret chest X-ray images.  This study aims to design an assistive tool for TB detection that can automatically diagnose the disease using chest X-ray data.  The study implemented a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture to analyze the X-ray images. Additionally, image preprocessing and early stopping methods were employed to enhance accuracy performance, optimize computation, and prevent overfitting.  Experiment was conducting using 75% of the data as training data to generate the model and then applied to 25% of the data as testing data. This study comparing image sizes in RGB and grayscale modes. Experimental results show that the use of early stopping has a significant impact on training time, reducing training time substantially in almost all scenarios without drastically sacrificing accuracy. Without early stopping, accuracy does tend to be higher, as seen in grayscale color mode with an image size of 128x128, where the accuracy reaches 0.992, and in RGB mode with an image size of 64x64 which reaches 0.995. However, training time also increases significantly, for example for a 299x299 image with RGB mode, the training time reaches 927 seconds. Therefore, while RGB yields slightly higher accuracy, grayscale is recommended due to significantly faster training times. Additionally, the early stopping mechanism proves effective in reducing computational time, making the training process more efficient.

When we go through the medical literature, anterior cervical osteophytes are generally considered to be asymptomatic. However,
on multiple occasions, there have been reports of large anterior cervical osteophytes giving rise to dysphagia in elderly patients.
In our article, we will be discussing a 79-year-old male patient who presented with dysphagia. We thoroughly evaluated this
patient for a possible cause of his symptoms. He had to undergo multiple investigations, including an upper-gastrointestinal
endoscopy, a lateral neck X-ray, and a contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the neck and chest. As well, we also
arranged neurology and neurosurgical referrals. Ultimately, we could confidently conclude that he was having dysphagia due
to anterior cervical osteophytes. Other than patient evaluation, we have also briefly discussed in this article the treatment
modalities and how to choose the best treatment modality for a patient with symptomatic anterior cervical osteophytes.
Differentiating Ligament Sprains, Muscle Strains, And Osteoarthritis Through Biomechanical Assessment: Implications For Diagnosis And Treatment.
Authors:   India, Deep Kolanu Nikhil
Published: December 2024

The distinction between ligament sprains, muscle strains and osteoarthritis can make or break an accurate diagnosis and
effective treatment outcomes of a patient. The mechanism of injury in ligament sprains involves motion analysis and joint
kinetics that identify the damaged ligaments thus making it possible to tailor rehabilitation protocols for each individual
patient, additionally serving as a prevention strategy for injuries. One can detect muscle imbalances or abnormal activation
patterns typical of muscle strains through force plate analysis combined with electromyography thus participation in a
neuromuscular training program and specific strengthening exercises will help these muscles function better and further
reduce the risk of re-injury. For patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis, biomechanical assessment provides insight into
abnormal joint loading patterns and kinematics which influence disease progression hence there is a need for interventions
such as gait modifications, orthotics or joint protection strategies aimed at reducing pain enhancing the functionality of joints
or even decelerating degeneration processes. Clinical professionals should take heed of these biomechanical considerations
while planning for all-round therapy which focuses on rectification of musculoskeletal deficiencies underlying this problem
thereby optimizing patient outcome.

Unilateral knee osteoarthritis is a common condition in the elderly that can compromise postural control and increase the risk of
falls. This study investigated the effects of strength training on postural control in elderly individuals with this condition. Forty
participants were assessed, divided into a strength training group (STG) and a sedentary group (SG). The results showed that
the STG had a lower Center of Pressure (COP) oscillation amplitude and reduced COP displacement area compared to the SG,
both with eyes open and closed. These findings suggest that regular strength training may improve postural control in elderly
individuals with unilateral knee osteoarthritis, thus contributing to reducing the risk of falls in this population.

XIX. yüzyılın başı itibarıyla Rusya İmparatorluğu içinde yer alan Kazan şehrinde, Kazan Üniversitesi’nin de açılmasıyla fen bilimleri, tarih, sosyoloji ve edebiyat başta olmak üzere köklü bir değişim süreci başlamıştır. Yüzyılın ilk yarısında Kazan Üniversitesi’nde görev alan Tatar aydınları Rus ve Batılı bilim insanlarıyla beraber eski el yazma eserlerden faydalanarak bu eserlerin basımı ve incelenmesi için pek çok alanda çalışmalar başlatmış ve tarih, arkeoloji, edebiyat ve özellikle folklor alanına ilk katkıları sunacak eserler yayımlanmıştır. Yüzyıl başında yapılan çalışmalarla yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Tatar edebiyatı, folkloru ve tarihi üzerine çalışmalar yapan ve Batıyı takip ederek eserler veren bir aydın sınıfı da oluşmuştur. Bunlar arasında XIX. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde, Batılı anlamda yazdığı ilk hikâyesiyle Musa Akyiğitzade (1865-1823), Muhammed Zahir Bigiyev (1870-1902), Abdurahman İlyasî (1856-1895), Rızaeddin Fahreddin (1858-1936), Fatih Kerîmî (1870-1937), Sadrî Maksudî (1878-1957), Ayaz İshakî (1878-1954) ve Fatih Hâlidî yer almaktadır. 1880’li yıllarda başladığı edebî faaliyetleriyle Fatih Hâlidî, bu dönemden itibaren ömrünü Tatar tarihi ve folklor ürünlerinin toplanması ve yeniden yazımına adamış; hikâye, drama türünde ilk örnekleri yazmıştır. Bunların dışında çıkarmış olduğu takvimler (kalendar) ve yaptığı tercümelerle edebiyat ve kültür tarihine katkılar sunmuştur. Çalışmamızda ülkemizde hakkında henüz bütünlüklü bir çalışma yapılmamış olan yazar Fatih Hâlidî’nin hayatı ve eserleri hakkında bilgi verilerek bu konunun edebiyat tarihi araştırmalarına kazandırılması, yazarın yenilikçi yönü ve dönemi için eserlerinin öneminin ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır.

Hayvan ve hayvansal ürünler tarih boyunca insanların en önemli besin kaynağı, barınma, binek, geçim, nakliye, tarım, ticaret, ulaşım ve yük aracı, savaş vasıtası, deri ve tekstil sanayiinin temel maddesi olagelmiştir. Söz konusu özelliklerinden ötürü devletler hayvancılığa önem vererek bu sektör üzerinde titizlikle durmuşlardır. Bunun için bir taraftan hayvan sahiplerinin haklarını koruyup kollarken diğer taraftan da üretimin gerçekleşmesi için uygun ortam ve güvenliği sağlamıştır. Üretim politikalarında başarılı olmak için bazen de hayvan varlığının devamı ve ıslahına dair yeni proje ve stratejiler denemişlerdir. Temelinde hayvan ve hayvansal ürünlerden en üst düzeyde yararlanmanın yattığı bu politikalardan kazandıkları deneyimlerle sağlam bir ekonomik sistem kurmayı amaçlamışlardır. Bunları yaparken de hayvanlar, hayvan sahipleri, bakıcıları, ticaret ve kesimini yapanları vergiye tabi tutmuşlardır.

POSTMODERN LAMPOON: METATHEATRICAL SATIRE ON NEOLIBERALISM IN TIMBERLAKE WERTENBAKER’S OUR COUNTRY’S GOOD
Authors: Ünlü Çimen Esra
Published: December 2024

Metatheatre, which generally indicates a number of strategies revealing the fictionality of plays, has been prevalent throughout the history of theatre. The metatheatrical vehicles like the play-within-the-play have been sustainedly employed by playwrights in Ancient Greek theatre, Roman theatre and English theatre since the Renaissance up to day. In English theatre, a remarkable number of studies on this concept have focused on the Renaissance as it was popularised in this period. The studies on metatheatre have often described it as a technical novelty breaking the illusion created by traditional/realist plays. However, a careful analysis of its use in plays from varying periods and cultures show that metatheatre has also been employed as a tool of satirizing politics by the playwrights. In both the Renaissance and the eighteenth-century English drama, metatheatrical tools were used to satirize domestic politics and familiar politicians. However, with postmodernism, in the twentieth century, the context of satire changed since it was directed at universal problems, ideologies and accustomed ways of thinking rather than the contemporary problems of a certain country. In line with such a change, metatheatrical satires in the twentieth century aimed to target grand narratives produced by modernity. One such play is Our Country’s Good (1988) by Timberlake Wertenbaker where neoliberalism as a master narrative is satirized through the device of the rehearsal-within-the-play. Within this context, this study aims to explore Our Country’s Good as a postmodern satire in order to show that satire still has validity in the postmodern age, and draw attention to the symbiotic and persistent relation between satire and metatheatre.
