The emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, has resulted in a pandemic that has disrupted all sectors of society. Less than a year after the sequencing of the virus’s genome, emergency use authorization for the BNT162b2 vaccine was requested. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response to the BNT162b2-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in frontline workers from two hospitals in Colombia. Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected for the molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 using real-time PCR, and blood samples were taken to assess seroconversion using qualitative and quantitative IgA, IgG, and IgM test kits. The study was conducted at a high-complexity healthcare institution in Bucaramanga, Colombia. 245 people were included in the first round and 129 in the second. SARS-CoV-2 molecular tests were conducted by RT-qPCR, and peripheral blood samples were collected to measure IgG, IgM, and IgA. The main outcome was to establish natural infection and the antibody response induced by the vaccine. The entire population was tested at two fixed times with RT-PCR tests and antibody level measurements approximately 4 and 8 months after receiving the second vaccine dose. 62 (25.3%) and 35 (14.3%) participants had a history of positive PCR in the first and second rounds, respectively. All positive cases showed elevated levels of all immunoglobulins, especially IgG. The average concentrations of IgA, IgM, and IgG at 90 days were 1149.5 U/mL (95% CI 828.2-1470.9); 320.3 U/mL (95% CI 218.4-422.3); and 9277.3 U/mL (95% CI 8989.2-9565.3). Frontline healthcare workers showed an adequate response to the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine.

Authors: Maram K Balajee , Gnanasekar J M
Published: October 2024

Data security is a major issue because of rapid evolution of data communication over unsecured internetwork. Here the proposed system is concerned with the problem of randomly generated S-box. The generation of S-box depends on Pseudo-Random-Number-Generators and shared-secret-key. The process of Pseudo-Random-Number-Generator depends on large prime numbers. All Pseudo-Random-Numbers are scrambled according to shared-secret-key. After scrambling, the S-box is generated. In this research, large prime numbers are the inputs to the Pseudo-Random-Number-Generator. The proposed S-box will reduce the complexity of S-box generation. Based on S-box parameters, it experimentally investigates the quality and robustness of the proposed algorithm which was tested. It yields better results with the S-box parameters like Hamming Distance, Balanced Output and Avalanche Effect and can be embedded to popular cryptography algorithms
Production of Decorative Cast Metal Matrix Composites with a Complex Relief and Nonmetal Reinforcement Phase
Authors: Spasova Daniela
Published: October 2024

The present paper is relevant to the research of possibilities for the production of decorative complex relief metal matrix composites (MMCs) of the “invitro” type, with unformed and unchanging reinforcement (strengthening) phase in the process of creating a composite. The research on the methods of metal matrix composites development in this paper has been brought to the application of different space vacuum schemes for composite synthesisof vacuuming the space for composites synthesis by using the notion of the “capillary forming”. In this method the metal matrix (copper alloy melt) was infiltrated in the space between the pellets of reinforcement phase (quartz particles – SiO2), whereas the classical method adopted for the obtaining MMCs “in vitro”, uses a mechanism of forced insertion of the reinforcement phase into the ready for use melt, followed by homogenization of the composite structure. In the particular case, because the obtained composite will have a complex relief three-dimensional surface, the conditions for compacting the building phases in the three directions x, y, z should be virtually equalized. In order to accomplish the task set, a laboratory system is developed. The experiments were conducted with laboratory equipment elaborated on the base of another equipment for "capillary forming" with extra vacuum. The structures of the obtained MMCs were tested by metallographic analysis.

PERFORMANCE AS A COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGY OF MODERN DRAMA
Authors: Voitenko L. I.
Published: October 2024

Emphasized demonstrativeness, which is embodied and manifested in various spheres of human life, is a performance. Accordingly, a performative text is a self-representative text actualized in the process of communication precisely through action, a way of thinking, a director’s vision, and acting. The visual component of the text is defined as a constituent component of the poetics of the work, a gender-genre marker, according to the elements of the external composition.
The usual classical image of a dramatic text in modern Ukrainian playwrights takes on the features of epic genres, which represent a different type and way of thinking, combining the narrator and the character in one person. Performance as a communicative strategy of modern Ukrainian drama is ensured by the transition to the narrative non-linearity of the character-narrative organization of the dialogue, the retrospective organization of the action, and the construction of the monologue based on associations of events, intimate-personal connections and perceptions, where the monologue is the real action of the character. The demonstrativeness and creolized nature of such text gives us the right to define such texts as “action art”.
PSYCHOLOGISM IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF FEMALE IMAGES IN THE NOVEL “BLACKBERRY WINTER” BY S. JIO
Authors: Marionda A. I. , Marchuk T. L.
Published: October 2024

The article examines Sarah Gio’s novel Blackberry Winter as an example of the use of psychologism in the construction of female characters. Psychologism in literature reflects the complex psychological states of characters and social contexts, helping to understand their emotions and motivations more deeply. The analysis of the psychological depth of characters in the literature of the second half of the twentieth century is one of the key aspects of literary studies: the psychoanalytic method proposed by Freud allows us to consider characters as living people, revealing their internal conflicts and motives.
The protagonists, Vera Ray and Claire Aldridge, reflect complex psychological states and conflicts through internal monologues, interaction with other characters, and symbolism. Vera Ray is living during the Great Depression of 1933, struggling to survive and reflecting her deep maternal instincts, fear and anxiety for the future of her son Daniel. Her interactions with other characters, such as Mr Harrison and Lon Edwards, emphasize her determination and inner strength. On the other hand, Claire Aldridge, a contemporary journalist, is grieving the loss of a child and struggling with feelings of hopelessness and isolation. Her inner monologues reflect her depression and search for meaning in life. Her interactions with her husband Ethan, memories of happy times and her desire to find new meaning through work and therapy highlight her emotional pain and desire to overcome her grief.
The analysis of Vera and Claire’s inner world shows how detailed internal monologues, interaction with other characters and symbolic gestures help to reveal the characters’ psychological depth. This allows readers to gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, motivations, and internal conflicts, making their characters realistic and multifaceted.

Authors: Nykyforenko I. V. , Bohuslavskyi S. S.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the concept of translation of professionally oriented speech in the scientific studies of foreign and domestic researchers. In the modern world, the development of social sciences, technology, culture, and social relations is impossible without knowledge of what has been done and what achievements there are in these fields in other countries. Globalization, combined with advances in communication technologies and social media, has led to a noticeable increase in professionals capable of professional communication in an intercultural space, possessing translation competence, which allows, in particular, the use of international experience reflected in foreign language professional literature. In this regard, the relevance of adequate translation of professionally oriented texts in any field is increasing.
The purpose of the research is to study and analyze the main features of the translation of special texts. The basis of the research is formed by such methods as theoretical analysis of domestic and foreign sources, generalization, systematization, lexical and component analysis.
The result of the study is the selection and analysis of the most frequent features that arise during the translation of specialized texts. The obtained data allow us to speak about the predominance of word combinations, most of which are translated literally, namely by tracing, that is, have a specific analogue in the translated language, which allows us to draw a conclusion about the development and further development of the terminological system of special texts.
The obtained results can be applied in teaching practice and be used in foreign language classes in higher educational institutions to solve the problem of students’ translation problems.
“TECTONICS OF FEELINGS” E.-E. SCHMITT IN THE “CONVERSATIONAL THEATRE” PARADIGM
Authors: Podkovyroff N.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the play by E.-E. Schmitt’s “Tectonics of Feelings” in the paradigm of “conversational theater”, which has become quite popular in France since the 80s of the 20th century. “Conversational Theater” continued the traditions of absurdist and avant-garde theater, with a tendency to turn to linguistic experimentation, changing the language of the stage, which is still relevant in our time. The dialogue in the talking theater is actually an action, a new way of understanding reality, where the space of action is expanded thanks to the language experiment, illusions and reality are mixed, the conflict is based on a remark that further explains the break in the relationship between the characters, it is also resolved in the dialogue. The psychological portrait of the characters is revealed not in situations and actions, but in speech, which gives the play theatricality.
PROTECTING OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS BY THE PROSECUTOR THROUGH REPRESENTATIVE MEANS: SEARCH FOR THE INTERESTS OF THE STATE
Authors: Krasnozhon O. M.
Published: October 2024

The article highlights some peculiarities of the legislative regulation of the prosecutor’s protection of children’s rights by means of representative means through the prism of court practice on determining the State’s interest in this area.
The purpose of the article is to highlight the peculiarities of legislative regulation of the prosecutor’s function of representing the State’s interests in court in the area of child protection and also to make proposals for improving the efficiency of the mechanism of protection of children’s rights by means of prosecutorial representation.
The author notes the imperfection of the legislative regulation of the representative function of the prosecutor’s office, which narrows its human rights protection potential.
It is proved that imperfect legislation and the lack of consistent and unambiguous judicial practice create difficulties in the prosecutor’s office’s function of representing the interests of the State in the field of child protection.
The author formulates the author’s own concept of prosecutorial representation in the field of child protection, which is proposed to be understood as the activities carried out by specially authorized subjects - juvenile prosecutors - with a valueoriented social focus on the realisation of a child’s rights to life, healthcare, treatment, recreation, education, social security, comprehensive development and upbringing in a family environment, as well as on the protection of the State’s interests in this area as a strategic national priority.
In order to increase the effectiveness of representative activities and the efficiency of protection and enforcement of children’s rights in this area, it is proposed to introduce appropriate legislative changes to the mechanism for calculating and making appropriate payments to orphans and children deprived of parental care.

Authors: Stankevych A. V.
Published: October 2024

In the article, based on the analysis of the contractual process, with the help of analytical, formal-logical and comparative legal methods, the legal nature of the peculiarities of public procurement contracts and their difference from other civil-law and economic contracts is clarified, as well as the peculiarities of concluding contracts in electronic form. The relevance of the article is due to the significant importance of contracts on public procurement and the study of the features of concluding contracts in electronic form for the interests of state customers and the state as a whole.
In the course of the study, the properties and nature of public procurement contracts and the peculiarities of concluding contracts in electronic form were clarified in the analysis of compliance with the principle of freedom of contract from the beginning of the pre-contractual process stage to the moment of concluding the procurement contract.
When clarifying the legal nature of contracts on public procurement and the features of concluding contracts in electronic form, an analysis of the possibility of applying the concept of “a contract as a source of law” to these contracts is carried out.
According to the results of the study, the transparency and openness of the entire contractual process, which is controlled by the public and state bodies in order to meet the needs of customers acting in the interests of the state, has been established. Important features of the legal nature of procurement contracts are their mandatory planning, consensuality and payment. The subject structure of these contracts is special, given the competitive nature of these contracts, which are mostly concluded as a result of competitive procedures or simplified procurement. The state takes a special role in these treaties as “a kind of treaty agent.” When concluding contracts on public procurement, the principle of economic profitability and compliance with the requirements of the customer in accordance with current legislation applies.
According to the results and conclusions of the study, participants of the contractual process - customers and participants (service providers, contractors, sellers of goods) and specialists in the field of law are suggested to use in their work. Based on the results of the research, it is proposed to supplement Article 640 of the Civil Code of Ukraine with the fifth paragraph, in which to define the registration of procurement contracts in the state treasury bodies, which is mandatory, but is not specified in any legislative act. Also, in paragraph five of the specified article, it is proposed to determine the moment of conclusion of the purchase contract, which is different from the moment of conclusion of other contracts.

There have been examined the key trends in the legal development of renewable energy and determines the environmental challenges caused by climate change and other negative factors affecting the environment, as well as analyzes the potential possibilities of adapting national environmental legislation to European legal standards in the field of renewable energy use. The author emphasizes the economic, social and environmental benefits of achieving the goals of the European Green Deal on the way to ensuring the sustainable development of Ukraine, calling for the creation of a clear and coherent system of legislation dedicated to the legal regulation of renewable energy in Ukraine. The results of the study points the urgency of creating an effective legal framework for the economy green transformation and the adaptation of energy and environmental policies to European requirements and standards.
In the context of modern global environmental problems related to climate change, excessive pollution of atmospheric air, water and forest ecosystems, soil degradation as a result of both increasing anthropogenic load on natural resources and due to the development of objective laws of nature, one of the key priorities European environmental policy outlined the transition to the principles of sustainable development, which, in turn, generated the need to search for optimal mechanisms and concepts for ensuring such a transition.
The European Green Course, adopted by the EU in 2019, is an ambitious and progressive strategy for the transformation of the European continent into a climate-neutral one by 2050. As a comprehensive conceptual package of legislative initiatives, to achieve this goal, the European Green Course includes not only the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, but also a significant increase in the share of renewable energy sources, an increase in the energy efficiency of European countries, and the integration of the energy markets of individual countries with the EU energy market. For Ukraine, the issue of implementing a policy of sustainable development by transitioning to the use of renewable energy sources is not only part of its European integration obligations, but also a time-tested necessity, taking into account the state of the country’s energy sector both during the war period and in the context of the post-war reconstruction of our country.

Authors: Ivashko L. M. , Maksymova J. O.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the main concepts of innovation and innovative activity for modern enterprises. In order to work effectively on the market, enterprises must constantly monitor innovations, adapt to the ever-changing realities of the market in a timely manner. In the course of the study, the criteria for assessing the ability of enterprises to develop were analyzed, the rating of the best countries according to the world creativity index and the rating of Ukraine in the Global Innovation Index were presented. It was found that the introduction of innovations has a positive effect on the development of enterprises and the improvement of their economic indicators in the modern economy. Modern enterprises strive to obtain the status of innovative, ready to implement changes, and their survival depends, in particular, on their openness to the introduction of innovations. This is explained by the fact that the avoidance of innovation will lead to the deterioration of competitiveness. In the course of the study, it was found that Ukraine has better results in innovative activities than innovative contributions. It also produces more innovative products compared to the level of innovative investments. In relation to GDP, the level of development of Ukraine exceeds expectations. It was also determined that Ukraine's indicators are above the average level for the income group below the average in terms of knowledge and technology, creative results, business complexity, human capital and research, infrastructure. To achieve the best results, companies in the service sector should pay special attention to the process of stimulating the innovative activity of personnel. To increase innovative activity, enterprise management should attract personnel with flexible thinking, who find it difficult to realize their intellectual resources within traditional bureaucratized enterprises. The article provides examples of strategies that can be used by enterprise managers to stimulate and develop the innovative activities of personnel. The results of the study indicate a close relationship between the economic indicators of the enterprise and the stimulation of personnel to innovative activities.
TAX REVENUE OF THE BUDGETS OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES OF THE REGION
Authors: Osadchuk S. V.
Published: October 2024

The article examines both theoretical and practical aspects of forming the budgets of regional territorial communities, highlighting that local budgets are primarily composed of tax revenues. Due to decentralisation processes in Ukraine, territorial communities have been consolidated, making the united territorial communities the primary units of local self-government. Consequently, the mechanisms for forming these budgets have evolved, with tax revenues becoming the main financial resource for local governments, enabling them to fund their functions. The article emphasises that the approaches to forming local budget revenues have changed significantly under martial law, with many financial laws being amended. The article analyses the changes to the legislation that affected the formation of local budgets' tax revenues in martial law conditions. It analyses legislative changes that have impacted the formation of local budget tax revenues during this period. A comparative analysis is provided, focusing on the formation of tax revenues for local budgets in the Odesa region before and after the imposition of martial law. This includes examining the main national and local taxes contributing to these budgets. The article specifically highlights the tax revenues of the territorial communities in the Odesa region, demonstrating how these revenues have fluctuated in recent years. As a result of the conducted analysis, it was established that since the beginning of the war, income from most tax revenues has decreased. The main factors of influence on the change in tax revenues of the budgets of territorial communities of the region under martial law conditions are substantiated. The paper reveals that most tax revenue streams have decreased since the onset of the war. It explores the key factors influencing these changes and the primary reasons for the region's decline in local budget revenues. The article underscores the necessity for new approaches to forming local budget tax revenues, emphasising the need to address taxation issues and effectively utilise budgetary and tax instruments.
PROBLEMS OF ADAPTING THE BCG MATRIX FOR THE ASSORTMENT ANALYSIS
Authors: Mazur O. Y.
Published: October 2024

At the current stage, the adapted BCG matrix is one of the most popular methods used for planning enterprises' product portfolios (product assortment). At the same time, when it comes to practice, it turns out that some aspects remain unorganized: the choice of basic indicators on the axes of the matrix is still ambiguous, there are disagreements regarding the methodology of their calculation and different approaches to drawing dividing lines.
The article considers the problematic aspects of adapting the BCG matrix to the analysis of the company's product range. Our research has shown that the biggest problems with the adapted BСG matrix arise in relation to the calculation of the growth rates of assortment groups and the definition of the sector division lines. It was established that there are several approaches to calculating growth rate and share indicators, and their advantages and disadvantages are described. Approaches to establishing lines dividing the matrix into sectors are summarized, and their critical analysis is carried out.
It is proposed to improve the “midpoint” method for sales shares by introducing an indicator of relative sales share, which shows the ratio of the sales share of an assortment group to the average sales share of an assortment group. The indicator of the relative share of sales will make it possible to determine the dividing line more reasonably and facilitate the interpretation of the value of the indicators on the axes relative to each other.
To enrich the analysis of the BCG matrix, it is recommended to calculate a composite coefficient that gives a common characteristic of the assortment groups in terms of growth rates and in terms of share in sales at the same time, as well as on the basis of which product groups can be ranked.
Further studies of the adapted BCG matrix may relate to the development of methodical approaches to the calculation of aggregated coefficients, with the inclusion of weight indices in the analysis, as well as the profitability index and other indicators that are important for the development of the assortment.

Religious Nationalism and The Legal Rejection of LGBT Rights in Zambia: Examining the Intersection of Religion, Law, And Social Exclusion
Authors: Vladoiu Dr. Isabelle
Published: October 2024

In the 21st century, national identities are shaped by more than just belonging to a nation-state; factors such as ethnicity, culture, gender, and religion also play a significant role. Individuals can align themselves with imagined communities, where national identity exists only in the mind. However, when religion becomes a symbol of national identity, it often leads to the rejection of beliefs that contradict religious values. This paper explores the influence of religious nationalism on the social rejection of LGBT rights in Zambia. Through a review of various theories of nationalism and an analysis of the conflicts between state, ethnic, and religious nationalisms, the paper highlights how strong religious identities can foster hostility toward LGBT communities. Zambia, a Christian nation by constitutional declaration, exemplifies how religious nationalism enables the criminalization of homosexuality, described as an unnatural offense punishable by imprisonment. The conclusion demonstrates that religious nationalism not only conflicts with LGBT rights but also fuels social rejection, leading to stigma and legal consequences for LGBT individuals in Zambia.
Parcs nationaux et réserves de faune du Cameroun
Authors: Depierre Daniel , Ole Zacharie
Published: October 2024

Les auteurs montrent que, pour des raisons écologiques et historiques, le Cameroun est l'un des pays d'Afrique francophone les plus avancés en matière de protection de la faune, si l'on en juge par la superficie totale des parcs nationaux et des réserves de chasse.Après une visite de chaque Parc et Réserve, ils les évaluent en fonction de leurs principales caractéristiques (densité de la faune, infrastructures touristiques, gardes-chasse, etc.)Ils constatent l'existence de problèmes spécifiques, certains concernant les Parcs et Réserves de la savane, d'autres les Parcs et Réserves de la forêt. Si des mesures satisfaisantes ont été prises au Nord du Cameroun, il n'en est pas de même dans la zone forestière.Ils estiment que la sauvegarde d'un capital d'une valeur inestimable dépend de la rapidité d'application des mesures préconisées.

Omniwheel implementation of the Suslov problem with a rheonomic constraint: dynamic model and control
Authors: Mikishanina Evgeniya A.
Published: October 2024

The classical Suslov problem of the motion of a rigid body with a fixed point is well known and has been studied in detail. In this paper, an omniwheel implementation of the Suslov problem is proposed. The controlled motion of a rigid body with a fixed point in the presence of scleronomic nonholonomic constraints and rheonomic artificial kinematic constraint is considered. The rigid body rotates around a fixed point, rolls around a spherical shell from the inside and contacts it by means of omniwheels with a differential actuator. We believe that the omniwheels are in contact with the spherical shell only at one point. In order to subordinate the motion of the rigid body to an artificial rheonomic constraint, a differential actuator creates control torques on omniwheels. Based on the d’Alembert–Lagrange principle, equations of motion of the mechanical system with indeterminate multipliers specifying constraint reactions are constructed. The problem is reduced to the study of a non-autonomous two-dimensional dynamical system. Using the generalized Poincar.e transformation, the study of a two-dimensional dynamical system is reduced to the study of the stability of a one-parameter family of fixed points for a system of differential equations with a degenerate linear part. We determine numerical parameters for which phase trajectories of the system are bounded and for which phase trajectories of the system are unbounded. The results of the study are illustrated graphically. Based on numerical integration, maps for the period (Poincar.e sections) and a map of dynamic regimes are constructed to confirm the Feigenbaum scenario of transition to chaotic dynamics.
Investigation of periodic solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations with quasi-homogeneous non-linearity
Authors: Bystretskii Mikhail V.
Published: October 2024

The article considers a system of ordinary differential equations in which the main nonlinear part, which is a quasi-homogeneous mapping, is distinguished. The question of the existence of periodic solutions is investigated. Consideration of a quasi-homogeneous mapping allows us to generalize previously known results on the existence of periodic solutions for a system of ordinary differential equations with the main positively homogeneous non-linearity. An a priori estimate for periodic solutions is proved under the condition that the corresponding unperturbed system of equations with a quasi-homogeneous right-hand side does not have nonzero bounded solutions. Under the conditions of an a priori estimate, the following results were obtained: 1) the invariance of the existence of periodic solutions under continuous change (homotopy) of the main quasi-homogeneous non-linear part was proved; 2) the problem of homotopy classification of two-dimensional quasi-homogeneous mappings satisfying the a priori estimation condition has been solved; 3) a criterion for the existence of periodic solutions for a two-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations with the main quasi-homogeneous non-linearity is proved.
