Introduction. The introduction of digitalization into the life of all humanity opens up enormous opportunities for the use of digital technologies in the education of university students. The use of these technologies is not limited to a specific field of activity, therefore they are widely used in various academic courses. The use of end-to-end technologies in the field of physical education is gaining popularity. Goal. To study and analyze the possibilities of end-to-end technologies in the field of physical culture and sports in training university students as a means of organizing and control-ling sports activities. Materials and methods. Insufficient representation of the research topic in the scientific community required an analysis of literary sources, systematization of end-to-end technologies and generalization of the results. Results and discussion. The study of scientific works of modern practitioners has shown the main focus in supporting the training process, in particular: the use of active teaching methods, the use of digital technologies in the independent work of students and end-to-end technologies in the field of physical education, which made it possible to classify end-to-end technoloies and highlight those predominantly used in physical culture and sports.

Introduction. The main political, economic and global event of the present time is the return of Crimea and Sevastopol to the Russian Federation. The study specifies and analyzes the main stages and their components during the reintegration of Crimea and Sevastopol into the Russian Federation. The stages are based on the main reintegration components of measures in the economic sphere, without which the functioning of the financial and economic system would be impossible. The stages are logically interconnected, which confirms the necessary sequence of reintegration measures that were carried out during the transition of Crimea and Sevastopol to the Russian Federation and continue to date. Goal. Identification of the main stages of the economic reintegration of Crimea and Sevastopol into the Russian Federation, their composition, analysis of the level of completion of each stage, identification of topical issues and development of ways to solve them. Materials and methods. Methods of financial analysis, statistical reporting data and legislation regulating the integration process were used. Results and discussion. The main problems of integration are identified and the vector of their solution is indicated. The classification of the integration process according to these stages is carried out for the first time. Conclusion. The main reintegration measures were carried out in accordance with the Treaty on the Admission of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation. Until now, regulation of some issues of integration into the economic, financial, and legal system of the Russian Federation has been carried out. On April 11, 2014, at a meeting of the State Council, the Constitution of the Republic of Crimea was approved, which consists of 10 chapters, 95 articles, its main provisions are similar to the articles of the Fundamental Law of the Russian Federation. According to the new Constitution, the Republic of Crimea is a democratic, legal state within the Russian Federation and an equal subject of the Russian Federation.
On exemption from administrative liability in case of a minor administrative offense
Authors:   Maykop State Technological University, Jamirze B. Yu.
Published: August 2024

Introduction. A number of specific issues are central to modern national practice of application of legislation on administrative. It is preconditioned by constant improvement of legislation, which is carried out to effectively counter internal and external challenges to the Russian state and society. The principle of justice retains its paramount importance, determining the status of the mechanism of administrative responsibility precisely as a means of public administration. The peculiarities of the practical implementation of this principle are expressed, among other things, in the institution of exemption from administrative liability, one of the grounds of which is the insignificance of an administrative offense - an evaluative category that is significant for the practice of applying legislation on administrative offenses. Materials and methods. The study is based on the analysis of provisions of the current legislation on administrative liability, materials from relevant judicial practice and the work of researchers on this issue. Analysis. The provisions of the current legislation and rulings of higher courts containing explanations of these provisions do not provide a comprehensive picture of the specifics of the application of the rules on the insignificance of an administrative offense, including the relevant categories of cases and the subject composition. Results. Based on the results of the study, we can conclude that the rules on exemption from administrative liability in the event of a minor administrative offense require additional clarification from the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation to determine the categories of violations to which these rules apply, as well as the range of subjects to which they apply. The author's position on possible answers to the questions posed is formulated.
Polish emigration to Great Britain: social structure and adaptation challenges
Authors:   North-Caucasus Federal University, Bobeshko A. V.
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The article is devoted to a relevant and little-studied issue in Russian historiography. Most of the studies of domestic authors consider the reasons for the emigration of Polish citizens to Great Britain and the influence of this process on the demographic situation in the country. The social profile of emigrants and their adaptation to the new sociocultural environment have not been adequately reflected in the works of Russian authors. Materials and Methods. In the process of working on the topic the author applied the principles of historical anthropology. Materials of analytical centres and mass media of Poland and Great Britain were used as historical sources. Analysis. Polish emigration to Great Britain is becoming the most important factor influencing the life of both states and their relations. The article reveals the social characteristics of Polish emigrants living in the UK. The author pays attention to the dynamics of the number of Polish emigrants and the geography of their settlement in the United Kingdom, emphasizing the particular attractiveness of Greater London. Polish emigrants initially, holding low-skilled positions, were able to achieve success in the professional field. Therefore, the thesis about the extreme dependence of Polish emigrants on social benefits cultivated by British nationalists is not true. Welleducated young people with proficient level of English language skills dominated among emigrants. At the same time, the growing number of emigrants from rural areas leads to an increase in the share of emigrants with a low level of education. In terms of gender, men prevailed among emigrants. The author analyses the behaviour of Polish emigrant families in case they give birth to children and how this fact affects their well-being. Results. The article shows the success of Polish emigrants in adapting to new conditions of life and labour activity on the territory of Great Britain. According to the author, one of the indicators of the high degree of adaptation of Poles is the high percentage of selfemployed in their environment. In conclusion, the author emphasizes that, despite Brexit and COVID-19, most Polish emigrants prefer to stay on the territory of the UK without breaking close contacts with their homeland.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the gap between consumers' attitudes and their intention to purchase sustainable products by analysing the necessary conditions for sustainable consumption.
Method: An analysis of necessary conditions was carried out based on latent scores from structural equation modelling based on partial least squares, PLS. The sample was obtained through a survey of potential consumers of sustainable products.
Main results: The study confirmed all the hypotheses, providing evidence of the level of need in relation to the variables of information, attitude and sustainable marketing strategies for sustainable consumption to occur.
Relevance/originality: Despite the growing number of studies on sustainability, there is still a need to understand the gap in the consumption of sustainable products. This study is a pioneer in establishing levels of need for the predictors that should predict the relationship between attitude, intention and behaviour.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study advances existing knowledge on the gap between attitude and intention in the consumption of sustainable products through the necessary conditions of antecedents of sustainable consumption, adding as a perspective the levels of occurrence of predictor variables.

Authors: M. Ikhlashul Omar S  , Fathurrahman Muhtar  , Zainuddin Zainuddin
Published: August 2024

Religious moderation is not created by itself, but there must be a joint effort and hard work to form and maintain religious consciousness, while multicultural education is an effort of learning carried out in institutions of formal and non-formal education in order to teach students the diversity of cultural, religious, and social attitudes and thinking of society. Therefore, the aim of this research is to find out the strategy for strengthening multicultural education by building student understanding of religious moderation in SMPN 14 Mataram. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive research approach. There are three ways of gathering data: observation, interview, and documentation. The results of the research proved that the school's strategy in the progress of strengthening multicultural education in building students' understanding of religious moderation in SMPN 14 Mataram has three important elements, namely, first, the moderation of the religious ritual activities; second, the moderation in the activities of the learning activity; and third, the moderation in the activities of the major religious days. What are the supportive factors in the progress of strengthening multicultural education in building students' understanding of religious moderation in SMPN 14 Mataram? The support of the citizens of SMPN 14 Mataram, teachers of the various SMPN, and the school provides the scope for students to develop their potential, while the inhibitory factors are the adaptation of students at the beginning of school entry and teachers lack of media on diversity in the school.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to assess the main factors that influence the adoption of cold chain logistics for imported frozen fish products in Nigeria. To accomplish this, a literature review was conducted, and focus group discussions with importers and dealers were held. The analysis method used to evaluate the main and alternative components influencing the adoption of cold chain logistics involved comparing the weight scores. The data shows that the government has the highest value, followed by the main industry and support industry sections with weighted scores of 0.567, 0.367, and 0.355, respectively. In terms of the alternative components within the main industry, the cost of operations was found to have the highest weight score of 0.690. This suggests that operational costs are a significant factor in the adoption of cold chain logistics in the fish import industry. Additionally, the synergetic operations of all practitioners involved in cold chain logistics were given a weighted score of 0.245, and the availability of professional dealers in the adoption of cold chain logistics garnered a score of 0.129. This study generated a framework utilizing the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate the principal components of cold chain logistics for imported fish products. The study aims to provide guidance and create synergy between stakeholders to ensure the seamless adoption of cold chain logistics for imported frozen fish products.

A Riemann-Hilbert Approach to Skew-Orthogonal Polynomials of Symplectic Type
Authors: Little Alex
Published: August 2024

We present a representation of skew-orthogonal polynomials of symplectic type ($\beta=4$) in terms of a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem, for weights of the form ${\rm e}^{-V(z)}$ where $V$ is a polynomial of even degree and positive leading coefficient. This is done by representing skew-orthogonality as a kind of multiple-orthogonality. From this, we derive a $\beta=4$ analogue of the Christoffel-Darboux formula. Finally, our Riemann-Hilbert representation allows us to derive a Lax pair whose compatibility condition may be viewed as a $\beta=4$ analogue of the Toda lattice.

We present a new analysis of the KELT-24 system, comprising a well-aligned hot Jupiter, KELT-24 b, and a bright (V = 8.3), nearby (d = 96.9 pc) F-type host star. KELT-24 b was independently discovered by two groups in 2019, with each reporting best-fit stellar parameters that were notably inconsistent. Here, we present three independent analyses of the KELT-24 system, each incorporating a broad range of photometric and spectroscopic data, including eight sectors of Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) photometry and more than 200 new radial velocities (RVs) from the MINiature Exoplanet Radial Velocity Array. Two of these analyses use KELT-24's observed spectral energy distribution (SED) through a direct comparison to stellar evolutionary models, while our third analysis assumes an unknown additional body contributing to the observed broadband photometry and excludes the SED. Ultimately, we find that the models that include the SED are a poor fit to the available data, so we adopt the system parameters derived without it. We also highlight a single transit-like event observed by TESS, deemed likely to be an eclipsing binary bound to KELT-24, that will require follow-up observations to confirm. We discuss the potential of these additional bodies in the KELT-24 system as a possible explanation for the discrepancies between the results of the different modeling approaches, and explore the system for longer-period planets that may be weakly evident in the RV observations. The comprehensive investigations that we present not only increase the fidelity of our understanding of the KELT-24 system but also serve as a blueprint for future stellar modeling in global analyses of exoplanet systems.
A Multiwavelength Machine-learning Approach to Classifying X-Ray Sources in the Fields of Unidentified 4FGL-DR4 Sources
Authors: Yang Hui , Hare Jeremy , Kargaltsev Oleg
Published: August 2024

A large fraction of Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) sources in the fourth Fermi-LAT 14 yr catalog (4FGL) still remain unidentified (unIDed). We continued to improve our machine-learning pipeline and used it to classify 1206 X-ray sources with signal-to-noise ratios >3 located within the extent of 73 unIDed 4FGL sources with Chandra X-ray Observatory observations included in the Chandra Source Catalog 2.0. Recent improvements to our pipeline include astrometric corrections, probabilistic cross-matching to lower-frequency counterparts, and a more realistic oversampling method. X-ray sources are classified into eight broad predetermined astrophysical classes defined in the updated training data set, which we also release. We present details of the machine-learning classification, describe the pipeline improvements, and perform an additional spectral and variability analysis for brighter sources. The classifications give 103 plausible X-ray counterparts to 42 GeV sources. We identify 2 GeV sources as isolated neutron star candidates, 16 as active galactic nucleus candidates, seven as sources associated with star-forming regions, and eight as ambiguous cases. For the remaining 40 unIDed 4FGL sources, we could not identify any plausible counterpart in X-rays, or they are too close to the Galactic Center. Finally, we outline the observational strategies and further improvements in the pipeline that can lead to more accurate classifications.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a ubiquitous component of the interstellar medium (ISM) in z ∼ 0 massive, star-forming galaxies and play key roles in ISM energy balance, chemistry, and shielding. Wide field-of-view, high-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) images from JWST provide the ability to map the fraction of dust in the form of PAHs and the properties of these key dust grains at 10–50 pc resolution in galaxies outside the Local Group. We use MIR JWST photometric observations of a sample of 19 nearby galaxies from the Physics at High Angular Resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) survey to investigate the variations of the PAH fraction. By comparison to lower-resolution far-infrared mapping, we show that a combination of the MIRI filters (R
PAH = [F770W+F1130W]/F2100W) traces the fraction of dust by mass in the form of PAHs (i.e., the PAH fraction, or q
PAH). Mapping R
PAH across the 19 PHANGS galaxies, we find that the PAH fraction steeply decreases in H ii regions, revealing the destruction of these small grains in regions of ionized gas. Outside H ii regions, we find R
PAH is constant across the PHANGS sample with an average value of 3.43 ± 0.98, which, for an illuminating radiation field of intensity 2–5 times that of the radiation field in the solar neighborhood, corresponds to q
PAH values of 3%–6%.

In the interplanetary space solar wind plasma, whistler waves are observed in a wide range of heliocentric distances (from ∼20 solar radii (RS) to Jupiter’s orbit). They are known to interact with solar wind suprathermal electrons (strahl and halo) and to regulate the solar wind heat flux through scattering the strahl electrons. We present the results of applying the technique to determine the whistler wave propagation directions to the spectral data continuously collected by the FIELDS instruments on board Parker Solar Probe (PSP). The technique was validated based on the results obtained from burst mode magnetic and electric field waveform data collected during Encounter 1. We estimated the effective length of the PSP electric field antennas for a variety of solar wind conditions in the whistler wave frequency range and utilized these estimates for determining the whistler wave properties during PSP Encounters 1–11. Our findings show that (1) the enhancement of the whistler wave occurrence rate and wave amplitudes observed between 25 and 35 RS is predominantly due to the sunward-propagating whistler wave population associated with the switchback-related magnetic dips; (2) the antisunward or counterpropagating cases are observed at 30–40 RS; (3) between 40 and 50 RS, sunward and antisunward whistlers are observed with comparable occurrence rates; and (4) almost no sunward or counterpropagating whistlers were observed at heliocentric distances above 50 RS.

The Rockets for Extended-source X-ray Spectroscopy (tREXS) are a series of suborbital rocket payloads designed to collect spectral emission from extended astronomical sources of soft X-rays. The tREXS spectrograph uses mechanical beam-shaping modules and reflection gratings to passively focus and then disperse incident X-rays to an array of Teledyne/e2v CIS 113 CMOS X-ray sensors. Designed to achieve a moderate spectral resolution, R ⪆ 50, from ≈15 to 40 Å over a large field of view (>10 deg2), the tREXS instrument is sensitive to line emission from key ion species over the soft-X-ray band. Here we present the complete end-to-end design of the tREXS spectrograph and discuss its significance and expected performance, using simulated observations of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant and an enhanced region in the soft X-ray background.

We present a comprehensive study of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), leveraging data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite Faint Source Catalogue and the spectroscopic catalog in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 16. Our meticulous crossmatching technique significantly enhances the reliability of ULIRG identification, resulting in the identification of 283 reliable ULIRGs, including 102 new detections, while discarding 120 previously reported false sources. Covering a redshift range of z = 0.018–0.996, with a median redshift of

, our uniform sample reveals apparent interaction features in approximately 40% of ULIRGs, increasing to 92% for those with z < 0.1. Through optical spectra analysis, it is indicated that over 58% of ULIRGs host an active galactic nucleus (AGN), which is twice as high as detections based solely on infrared colors. Moreover, a pronounced excess of radio emissions associated with AGN activity results in a steeper radio–far-infrared correlation. Notably, Type I ULIRGs exhibit properties similar to those of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies, with an elevated incidence rate of Mg ii broad absorption lines (16.7%), surpassing that of typical optically selected quasars by over tenfold, consistent with current evolutionary models. We anticipate that forthcoming telescopes such as the China Space Station Telescope and Leighton Chajnantor Telescope will provide deeper insights into ULIRG morphology, dust distribution, molecular gas, and AGN activity.
Key features of hospitals antibiotic stewardship software solutions needed for successfully optimizing patient outcomes while fighting antibiotic resistance on a global scale – a shared experience

Antimicrobial resistance threatens the very core of modern medicine and currently costs the EU more than 11.7 billion euro per year. In 2050 it is projected that 10 million people will die from infections with the so called “superbugs”. In the past few decades, no entirely new antibiotic groups are being discovered which makes of crucial importance to preserve the effectiveness of the antibiotics we have today for future generations.

Antimicrobial stewardship programs worldwide aim to optimize the use of antimicrobials to improve effectiveness, safety and economic feasibility of antibiotics while fighting antibiotic resistance on a local and global scale. This article shares the experience of building a software solution from scratch for digitalisation of local antibiotic stewardship policies – what are the key features needed and the steps required for successful implementation of a digital local antibiotic stewardship policy and who are the stakeholders in a project of this nature.
Using N2 as a final electron receptor in yeast to produce NH3 in bioreactors
Authors: Gaballah Yousef
Published: August 2024

This research proposal aims for the replacement of N2 molecule (instead of O2) as a final electron receptor in micro-organisms so that they can produce NH3, which is important industrially, instead of H2O. This idea is based on the hypothesis that replacement of the central atom in gas-carrying compounds in living organisms such as chlorophyll, heme and hemocyanin would replace the fixed gas. However, NH3 is an expensive product because it is produced using the Haber-Bosch reaction technique which requires high temperature and pressure. Therefore, it is predictable here to produce NH3 so simply in bioreactors which is a great economic benefit.

In this paper, we introduced a novel group self-supervised learning approach designed to improve visual representation learning. This new method aimed to rectify the limitations observed in conventional self-supervised learning. Traditional methods tended to focus on embedding distortion-invariant in single-view features. However, our belief was that a better representation can be achieved by creating a group of features derived from multiple views. To expand the siamese self-supervised architecture, we increased the number of image instances in each crop, enabling us to obtain an average feature from a group of views to use as a distortion, invariant embedding. The training efficiency has greatly increased with rapid convergence. When combined with a robust linear protocol, this group self-supervised learning model achieved competitive results in CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, Tiny ImageNet, and ImageNet-100 classification tasks. Most importantly, our model demonstrated significant convergence gains within just 30 epochs as opposed to the typical 1000 epochs required by most other self-supervised techniques.
