New asymptotic expansion formula via Malliavin calculus and its application to rough differential equation driven by fractional Brownian motion
Authors: Takahashi Akihiko , Yamada Toshihiro
Published: May 2024

This paper presents a novel generic asymptotic expansion formula of expectations of multidimensional Wiener functionals through a Malliavin calculus technique. The uniform estimate of the asymptotic expansion is shown under a weaker condition on the Malliavin covariance matrix of the target Wiener functional. In particular, the method provides a tractable expansion for the expectation of an irregular functional of the solution to a multidimensional rough differential equation driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index H < 1 / 2, without using complicated fractional integral calculus for the singular kernel. In a numerical experiment, our expansion shows a much better approximation for a probability distribution function than its normal approximation, which demonstrates the validity of the proposed method.

Published: May 2024

Energy efficiency is at a critical point now with rising energy prices and decarbonisation of the residential sector to meet the global NetZero agenda. Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring is a software-based technique to monitor individual appliances inside a building from a single aggregate meter reading and recent approaches are based on supervised deep learning. Such approaches are affected by practical constraints related to labelled data collection, particularly when a pre-trained model is deployed in an unknown target environment and needs to be adapted to the new data domain. In this case, transfer learning is usually adopted and the end-user is directly involved in the labelling process. Unlike previous literature, we propose a combined weakly supervised and active learning approach to reduce the quantity of data to be labelled and the end user effort in providing the labels. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method comparing it to a transfer learning approach based on weak supervision. Our method reduces the quantity of weakly annotated data required by up to 82.6–98.5% in four target domains while improving the appliance classification performance.

Authors: Candela Federico , Giordano Angelo , Zagaria Carmen Francesca , Morabito Francesco Carlo
Published: May 2024

In the application areas of streaming, social networks, and video-sharing platforms such as YouTube and Facebook, along with traditional television systems, programs’ classification stands as a pivotal effort in multimedia content management. Despite recent advancements, it remains a scientific challenge for researchers. This paper proposes a novel approach for television monitoring systems and the classification of extended video content. In particular, it presents two distinct techniques for program classification. The first one leverages a framework integrating Structural Similarity Index Measurement and Convolutional Neural Network, which pipelines on stacked frames to classify program initiation, conclusion, and contents. Noteworthy, this versatile method can be seamlessly adapted across various systems. The second analyzed framework implies directly processing optical flow. Building upon a shot-boundary detection technique, it incorporates background subtraction to adaptively discern frame alterations. These alterations are subsequently categorized through the integration of a Transformers network, showcasing a potential advancement in program classification methodology. A comprehensive overview of the promising experimental results yielded by the two techniques is reported. The first technique achieved an accuracy of 95%, while the second one surpassed it with an even higher accuracy of 87% on multiclass classification. These results underscore the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed frameworks, and pave the way for a more efficient and precise content management in the ever-evolving landscape of multimedia platforms and streaming services.

Published: May 2024

Advancements in computational capabilities have enabled the implementation of advanced deep learning models across various domains of knowledge, yet the increasing complexity and scarcity of data in specialized areas pose significant challenges. Zero-shot learning (ZSL), a subset of transfer learning, has emerged as an innovative solution to these challenges, focusing on classifying unseen categories present in the test set but absent during training. Unlike traditional methods, ZSL utilizes semantic descriptions, like attribute lists or natural language phrases, to map intermediate features from the training data to unseen categories effectively, enhancing the model’s applicability across diverse and complex domains. This review provides a concise synthesis of the advancements, methodologies, and applications in the field of zero-shot learning, highlighting the milestones achieved and possible future directions. We aim to offer insights into the contemporary developments in ZSL, serving as a comprehensive reference for researchers exploring the potentials and challenges of implementing ZSL-based methodologies in real-world scenarios.
Dual-Language Use and Cognitive Function Among Mexican Americans Aged 65 and Older
Authors: Downer Brian , Milani Sadaf , Grasso Stephanie , Lucas Fernando Llanos , Mehta Neil
Published: May 2024

Background:

Better English proficiency and higher frequency of using English among non-native speakers are associated with lower dementia risk.

Objective:

We investigated if Mexican American older adults who use English and Spanish to a more similar degree demonstrate better cognitive function than those who use one language more than the other.

Methods:

We used data from waves one (1992/93) to eight (2012/13) of the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiological Study of the Elderly. At baseline, participants were asked what language they usually use across communicative contexts. We based dual language on participants’ use of Spanish and English within and across contexts. We categorized participants as low ( n = 1,145), medium ( n = 717), and high ( n = 702) dual-language users. Linear mixed models were used to estimate the association between dual-language use, baseline Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, and change in MMSE.

Results:

Participants in the medium and high dual-language use categories scored 1.91 points and 3.03 points higher at wave one compared to the low dual-language use category. Adjusting for education reduced the association between dual-language use and baseline MMSE (medium B = 0.99 SE = 0.19 p < 0.01; high B = 1.41 SE = 0.21 p < 0.01). The association between dual-language use and decline in the MMSE was not statistically significant.

Conclusions:

Greater dual-language use was associated with higher MMSE scores but not change in MMSE scores among Mexican Americans aged 65 and older. Future work should characterize bilingualism with greater nuance and use more rigorous cognitive measures to identify the components of the bilingual experience that may benefit the cognitive functioning of older adult bilinguals.
Associations of Nativity and the Role of the Hispanic Paradox on the Cognitive Health of Older Latinos Living in the United States
Authors: Jaen Jocelyn , Grodstein Francine , Lajous Martín , Bello-Chavolla Omar Yaxmehen , Gómez-Flores-Ramos Liliana , Yang Jingyun , Bennett David A. , Marquez David X. , Lamar Melissa
Published: May 2024

Background:

US-based Latinos have lower education and income combined with higher health risks than non-Latino whites, but often ‘paradoxically’ evidence better health-related outcomes. Less work has investigated this paradox for cognitive-related outcomes despite nativity diversity.

Objective:

We evaluated cognitive aging within older Latinos of diverse nativity currently living in the US and participating in Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center studies.

Methods:

Participants without baseline dementia, who completed annual neuropsychological assessments (in English or Spanish) were grouped by US-born ( n = 117), Mexico-born ( n = 173), and born in other Latin American regions (LAr-born = 128). Separate regression models examined associations between nativity and levels of ( N = 418) or change in ( n = 371; maximum follow-up ∼16 years) global and domain-specific cognition.

Results:

Demographically-adjusted linear regression models indicated that foreign-born nativity was associated with lower levels of global cognition and select cognitive domains compared to US-born Latinos. No associations of nativity with cognitive decline emerged from demographically-adjusted mixed-effects models; however, Mexico-born nativity appeared associated with slower declines in working memory compared to other nativity groups ( p-values ≥ 0.051). Mexico-born Latinos had relatively higher vascular burden and lower education levels than other nativity groups; however, this did not alter results.

Conclusions:

Nativity differences in baseline cognition may be due, in part, to accumulated stressors related to immigration and acculturation experienced by foreign-born Latinos which may hasten meeting criteria for dementia later in life. In contrast, Mexico-born participants’ slower working memory declines, taken in the context of other participant characteristics including vascular burden, suggests the Hispanic Paradox may relate to factors with the potential to affect cognition

Deforming osteoarthritis is characterized by chronic pain, which is often associated with a wide range of cognitive impairment (CI) due to the involvement of common anatomical structures, similar plastic disorders in brain neuronal systems, depletion of common mediators and neurochemicals, and general neurochemical changes leading to maladaptive neuroplasticity in cerebral systems of pain control and key cognitive functions. In the management of patients with deforming osteoarthritis, it is important to focus on treating chronic pain and CI, as it determines long-term treatment success and significantly affects quality of life and daily, social, and occupational activities. We describe a patient with deforming osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and CI who required an individualized, complex treatment approach. This case report illustrates the reduction in pain severity and the improvement in quality of life and cognitive function achieved with timely initiation of pathogenically targeted treatment.

Economic Growth Effects of Fiscal Policy in South Africa: Empirical Evidence from Personal Income Tax
Authors: Tala Lavisa
Published: May 2024

This study determined economic growth effects of fiscal policy in South Africa. Particular attention was paid to effects of personal income tax on economic growth for the period 1993Q3 -2022Q4. The influence of personal income tax on economic growth was analysed using non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) bounds test for cointegration. Estimated results indicated rise in personal income tax is growth-friendly in the short-run. While, in the long –run growth is affected by both positive and negative shocks in personal income tax. Positive personal income tax changes are detrimental to economic growth in the long run. Increasing personal income tax will compromise the country’s economic growth strategy.  Furthermore, positive changes in personal income tax affect economic growth more than negative shocks as confirmed by dynamic multiplier graph. Dynamic multiplier graph further reveal existence of asymmetry. Additionally, Wald test value of -6.2775 validated asymmetric effect of personal income tax on economic growth. It is therefore, recommended that policy makers should focus on considering other sources of tax revenue. The current structure of the tax system is skewed towards personal income tax.  Policy makers should keep the current ratio of personal income tax and widen tax base to realise inclusive economic growth.

A légierő-elméletek és a stratégiai kommunikáció összefüggései
Authors: Torda Péter
Published: May 2024

Jelen tanulmány feltárja a stratégiai kommunikációval kapcsolatos összefüggéseket a légi hadviselés alaptételeit lefektető klasszikus teoretikusok, illetve a légierő-elméletek korszakváltását fémjelző gondolkodók hadelméleteiben. A tanulmány rámutat, hogya stratégiai kommunikáció koncepciói a kezdetektől fogva részét képezik a légierő-elméleteknek, illetve arra, hogy a légierő teoretikusai rendkívül erős stratégiai kommunikációs hatást tulajdonítanak a légi hadviselésnek. A légierővel kapcsolatos teóriák egyik alapfeltevése, hogy a légicsapások olyan lélektani hatást váltanak ki az ellenséges lakosság, illetve az ellenséges vezetés tudatában, amely kulcsfontosságú az ellenség akaratának megtöréséhez és a támadó fél akaratának érvényesítéséhez, vagyis a háború politikai céljának eléréséhez. Ez a feltételezés ugyanúgy jellemzi a klasszikus, mint a modern légierő-elméleteket. Ugyanakkor, sem a klasszikus, sem a modern teóriák nem állapítanak meg általános érvényű összefüggéseket arra a hatásmechanizmusra, amely a légicsapástól az ellenség megadásra kényszerítéséig vezet.

An Experimental Study of Smoke Movement in a Pressurised Smoke-Free Staircase
Authors: Mihály István , Varga Ferenc
Published: May 2024

Pressurised staircases play an important role in ensuring both safe evacuation and conditions for rescue and firefighting intervention. Occupants may be delayed in getting to safety or extinguishing the fire for unforeseen reasons. In some cases, the pressurised staircase or its lobby may serve as a temporary protected area for persons unable to escape independently, which should ensure the safety of the persons fleeing or being evacuated for a limited period of time. In such cases, the role of effective smoke control should be a priority. The purpose of pressurisation is to prevent the entry of smoke and toxic combustion gases at dangerous levels, but the possibility cannot be excluded. In the present series of studies, the smoke flow in a pressurised staircase was investigated in order to gain experience of the characteristics of smoke movement and propagation under these conditions.This involved a series of experiments with smoke cartridges placed on different staircase levels, supported by ventilation measurements to investigate the smoke flow. Based on the results of the measurements and observations, we proposed possible improvements to the technical solutions.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE MARKETING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO INCREASE THE ADAPTABILITY OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES
Authors:   Dnipro State Agrarian and Economic University, Bahorka Mariia , Abramovych Inna ,   Dnipro State Agrarian and Economic University
Published: May 2024

The article reveals the theoretical features of the concept of marketing management, the definition of this concept, and the main problems faced by agricultural enterprises when implementing this concept. Recommendations in the form of marketing solutions have been formed, regarding the improvement of the marketing management system in order to increase the adaptation capabilities of agrarian enterprises in unstable and dangerous conditions of operation. The marketing concept of management is not just a component of the marketing system, but a separate philosophy of the functioning of enterprises. This concept is the main prerequisite for effective marketing activities at the current stage of development, as it is able to cover all marketing means and direct them to achieve marketing goals. Expanding the product range is an important solution to reduce the risk of losses in the event of fluctuations in market demand or prices. Growing different crops with different maturity dates or producing different types of crops will allow agribusinesses to distribute risks between different areas of production. The search for new sales markets will allow enterprises to reduce the risks of dependence on one market and expand their sales opportunities, but the implementation of risk management systems will allow enterprises to effectively analyze and assess risks and make strategic decisions for their management. The development of partnership relations will allow enterprises to combine resources and reduce risks, jointly responding to changes in the market. It has been found that some of the most influential issues, questions and challenges of marketing management can be closely related to various changes in today’s marketing environment – the changing importance of marketing communica- tion channels and media, the growing influence of social media, the increased communication with customers and the influence of word of mouth, the need in marketing reporting, changes in marketing technologies and methods. Adaptation of production to changing conditions and quick response to market changes, application of technologies and innovations can provide the enterprise with competitive advantages and reduce the impact of market instability. Subsystems of management of internal resources and factors of the external environment are singled out, which are interconnected in such a way as to allow attracting unused reserves of the enterprise’s marketing potential into economic circulation.
NEGOTIATION STRATEGIES AT THE ENTERPRISE IN CONFLICT SITUATIONS
Authors:   Dnipro University of Technology, Kasianenko Liliia
Published: May 2024

The article focuses on the analysis of conflict situations at enterprises and the study of strategies for their resolution through negotiations. The authors examine how contradictions between the basic needs of conflict participants contribute to the emergence of acute misunderstandings and how these differences can be eliminated or reduced with the help of effective negotiation strategies. The article examines how social conflicts arising between different social groups at the enterprise can affect its functioning. The scientific novelty of the study consists in a comprehensive approach to the analysis of conflict resolution mechanisms at the workplace, which includes the development and testing of innovative negotiation strategies based on current theoretical and practical knowledge. A complex of factors affecting the choice of negotiation strategy in conflict situations is defined and systematized, taking into account the specifics of the activities of modern enterprises. The study examines the concepts of negotiation strategies that take into account the dynamics of conflict interactions and ensure an increase in the effectiveness of conflict management. It covers the analysis of the psychological aspects of negotiation, including the influence of corporate culture, emotional intelligence and communication styles on the success of conflict resolution. Conflicts are defined as objectively existing phenomena that include the processes of emergence and resolution of difficultto-regulate contradictions arising from differences in the needs, values, and interests of various groups. The authors emphasize that not all contradictions are immediately perceived by the participants as conflict. They believe that the conflict is always conscious for the parties who understand the need to solve the problem. At the same time, it is noted that not every disagreement leads to conflict, and sometimes problems can arise in conditions that would seem favorable for cooperation. The article focuses on negotiations as the most civilized way to resolve conflicts, emphasizing the importance of careful organization and conduct of the negotiation process. Two main negotiation strategies are considered in particular: positional bargaining, based on confrontation, and partner negotiations, which are based on the search for mutually beneficial solutions.

Modern science has always been focused on the research on the problem of investment into the national economy and intensification of investment processes. Investment processes play a significant role in building up investment, economic and social potential of the society. At present provision of social and economic development of the country and increase of its competitiveness at the world markets depend on the investment processes. The quicker the investment processes in the country take place, the more efficiently they facilitate market transformations and create conditions for economic growth. At the same time, modernization of production and technical facilities of industrial enterprises also accelerates. However, without effective tools, measures, methods and financial policy levers it is too problematic. The aim of the study is to highlight the impact of financial and credit levers onto the investment process and substantiate practical recommendations on the increase of efficiency of their use in the investment process. The article reveals that the state uses financial and credit levers – budget and taxation, money and credit – as the essential tools to make an impact onto the investment processes. The influence of the budget expenditures should be increased throughout the period of economic decline and decreased during the economic growth. Nevertheless, over the study period state funds along with the other money have not become a driving force for intensification of investment processes of economic entities for the national economy. Budget and taxation leverage has to restrain the deficit in the budget, reduce tax burden on the economy and facilitate financial support for investing into the country’s economy. The interest rate, reserve requirements and open market operations are the main money and credit levers to ensure investment into the economy of the country. In the further research it is suggested to focus on the budget and credit policy which should be directed at the investment capital reproduction and enhancement of the national economy competitiveness. In order to implement them in today’s development conditions, coordination of additional incentive and regulatory measures of the state concerning the support for the investment processes in the country’s economy is required.

This article is related to the study of the economic efficiency of using organic fertilizers from constantly renewable resources of animal by-products (chicken manure), taking into account the latest innovative technologies that reduce the cost of agricultural production while improving the results of economic activity of enterprises. It is proved that the utilization of animal by-products (chicken manure) through the production of organic fertilizers is one of the most valuable sources of nutrients. The ecological and economic benefits and prospects of using organic fertilizers, the main raw material component of which is chicken manure have been analyzed. The effectiveness of the usage of such organic fertilizers in intensive technologies of growing corn, sunflower and sugar beet has been tested and confirmed by scientifically based experimental studies. It is summarized that the production of organic fertilizers from chicken manure is a promisingly expedient, cost-effective resource for meeting the needs of the agricultural industry of our country in terms of nutrients. During the period of martial law, the most important current economic problem of our country is to overcome the decline in production by finding effective and optimal solutions for the reproduction of all its links. Today's dynamically changing conditions of the agricultural market require a mobilizing combination of efforts by the legislative and executive branches of government together with business owners to find and implement anti-crisis measures to ensure stable cooperation, improve the financial and economic performance of enterprises, and preserve and enhance soil fertility in the process of exploitation. Conservation, rational use of soils, and improvement of their fertility are a steadfast component of the sustainable constant of Ukraine's food, economic, social, environmental, and energy security. Being a key component of the sustainability of Ukraine's economy, including agriculture, organic fertilizers significantly contribute to increasing crop yields and improving their biological quality. An additional advantage is that they improve the agrochemical, biological, physical and mechanical characteristics of soils, positively affect soil fertility, and are much more costeffective for farmers.
