An Investigation Into Short-Term Memory Training in Interpreting Course at a University in Vietnam
Authors: Ha Nguyen Thi Dieu
Published: May 2024

Short – term memory (STM) is extremely crucial in an interpreter’s task since the message must be conveyed quickly from the source language to the target language. Hence, the interpreter must have high concentration once he gets involved in the interpreting process. STM is often ignored in interpreting modules since students are required to self – practice at home and other necessary skills are more focused. However, several language schools still embed STM activities in the course due to students’ need analysis. This paper aims at evaluating STM training in interpreting subject at a university in Viet Nam. Besides, the students’ perception of STM is also investigated. To collect data for analysis, the researcher used semi-structure interviews with 20 students at intermediate and advanced levels in English. The results of the study indicated that STM had positive effects on students’ interpretation and the majority of students showed their positive attitudes toward STM training.

Published: May 2024

This research explores Indonesian teachers' perceptions of writing assessment models based on their needs from school. This research also collected input from the teachers regarding important elements in an ideal writing assessment model with 21st century. The development research model used is the Borg and Gall model adapted by Sugiyono, but development research was only at the design planning stage. This research data was collected through surveys and group discussion forums. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model. In short, the results showed the demands of teachers to develop a writing skills assessment model that is oriented towards the 4C and HOTS aspects and that focuses on the characteristics of reliability, sustainability, construct validity, collaboration, assessment criteria, competency standards, question construction, objectivity, and communication. Additionally, the procedural framework for the required writing skills assessment model consists of three parts: 1) identifying assessment standards, 2) writing assignment development, 3) implementation and follow-up. Therefore, this research can make a positive contribution to Indonesian teachers' efforts to measure student achievement in writing skills.
The Textual vs the Contextual: A Heideggerian Reading of Walid Saif’s Poem ‘Love Again’
Authors: Ibrahim Hanan M. , Alkhawaja Linda , Yaseen Maha S.
Published: May 2024

This article reads Love Again (1992), the last poem written by contemporary Palestinian poet Walid Saif based on Heidegger’s concept of the Dasein as detailed in Being and Time and his concept of art as detailed in “The Origin of the Work of Art” as well as in other of his works. In Love Again “togetherness,” which is the essence of the Dasein, dissolves completely into the kind of being of “the Others”. Heidegger’s definition of “the truth of being” has the tendency of combining two contesting groups of theories: the first is a modernist group that advocates an intrinsic/textual approach to read literary texts in light of new criticism and other formalist schools. The second is a group that advocates a contextual/extrinsic/political approach to read literary texts like new historicism, postcolonialism and others. A Heideggerian reading of Saif’s poem debunks the modernist claim that a detachable aesthetic experience can safeguard the poem’s “historical permanence” and transcend its political context. Unlike formalists of his time, Heidegger was not concerned with the tension that emerged between the above two groups since he took both the extrinsic and intrinsic elements of a literary work as indispensable elements towards exploring the literary work. Furthermore, the above tension does not seem to be part of Heidegger’s consciousness.

Fake News Detection Using Hybrid Approach
Authors: Gohil Him , Joshi Vandana , Gandhi Snehal
Published: May 2024

Over the last few years, fake news has dramatically increased on social media. Fake news can originate from any number of sources and is shared across different social platforms. This type of information is used to spread for fun or economic gain. Our goal is to stop distributing this type of misleading information on social media or any other platform. In this paper, we have proposed a hybrid model (RoBERTa and BERT) to detect fake news. Our proposed architecture is based on the LIAR multi-label dataset. Our model shows promising results.
Perception and Attitude towards Disaster Preparedness among Library Professionals in University of Kerala and University of Calicut: An Investigative Study
Authors: Selin Ancy S. , Devi B. Mini
Published: May 2024

Libraries stand as crucial pillars in moulding the future generations of society, playing a foundational role in the socioeconomic development of nations. Recognizing their significance, it becomes imperative to safeguard libraries for the prosperity of the upcoming generations. Central to this responsibility is the need for libraries to be well-equipped and prepared to face potential disasters. The article delves into the study of the perception and attitude of library professionals towards disaster preparedness at the University of Kerala and the University of Calicut. The objectives encompass assessing librarians’ perception levels, examining current disaster precautions, studying awareness about disaster management authorities, evaluating awareness of rules and laws, and determining the existence of structured training programs. To gather relevant literature, diverse resources such as Google Scholar, Emerald, ProQuest, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, conference proceedings, dissertations and theses in Library and Information Science were consulted. The study utilised a closed-ended structured questionnaire aligned with the defined objectives to collect data. The gathered data underwent tabulation and analysis using Microsoft Excel 2013 and SPSS version 21. The findings of the study revealed that library professionals possess an awareness of disasters and the necessity for preparedness, yet there seems to be a gap in translating this knowledge into practical implementation. The conclusion drawn is a call to action, emphasising the need for libraries to execute disaster awareness and training programs for both staff and users. In a world where natural calamities and unforeseen events pose a constant threat, understanding how library professionals perceive and approach disaster preparedness becomes paramount. As custodians of academic treasures, their perspectives shape the resilience of these institutions against potential disruptions. The study, therefore, serves as a critical exploration into the preparedness landscape, providing insights that extend beyond the immediate scope of libraries to contribute to the broader discourse on disaster management in academic settings.

Published: May 2024

Backgrounds/Aims: The enhancing capsule (EC) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis has received varying degrees of recognition across major guidelines. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of EC in HCC detection.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent pre-surgical computed tomography (CT) and hepatobiliary agent-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (HBA-MRI) between January 2016 and December 2019. A single hepatic tumor was confirmed based on the pathology of each patient. Three radiologists independently reviewed the images according to the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) v2018 criteria and reached a consensus. Interobserver agreement for EC before reaching a consensus was quantified using Fleiss κ statistics. The impact of EC on the LI-RADS classification was assessed by comparing the positive predictive values for HCC detection in the presence and absence of EC.Results: In total, 237 patients (median age, 60 years; 184 men) with 237 observations were included. The interobserver agreement for EC detection was notably low for CT (κ=0.169) and HBA-MRI (κ=0.138). The presence of EC did not significantly alter the positive predictive value for HCC detection in LI-RADS category 5 observations on CT (94.1% [80/85] vs. 94.6% [88/93], P=0.886) or HBAMRI (95.7% [88/92] vs. 90.6% [77/85], P=0.178).Conclusions: The diagnostic value of EC in HCC diagnosis remains questionable, given its poor interobserver agreement and negligible impact on positive predictive values for HCC detection. This study challenges the emphasis on EC in certain diagnostic guidelines and suggests the need to re-evaluate its role in HCC imaging.

Published: May 2024

The tectonic, geological and hydrogeological features of the south of Sakhalin Island have been considered in connection with the assessment of the possibility of placing CO2 in aquifers. It has been found that at the regional and zonal level of criteria, this territory can be classified as unpromising one. It has been concluded that implementation of landfill projects for the placement of CO2 in aquifers will face great geological risks for the drinking water supply to the population, and can also lead to serious environmental consequences for nature, including a shift in the balance in the aquatic ecosystem of Aniva Bay.
MPIA as Solution of Appellate Body Dilemma: An Overview of the Advantages of New Mechanism of WTO Dispute Settlement
Authors: Ahmed Mohamed Salah Adawi , Junxiang Zhang , Khaled Alsaeed Basel , Zeeshan Ajmal Muhammad
Published: May 2024

In December 2019, the WTO Appellate Body, the heart of global trade governance, encountered an unprecedented impasse due to the United States blockade on the appointment of its members. This paper delves into the emergence of the Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement (MPIA) as a provisional solution to this deadlock. Established by the European Union and trade partners, and now endorsed by 53 WTO members, the MPIA aims to temporarily fill the void left by the paralyzed Appellate Body by utilizing Article 25 of the DSU. Through a juridical normative methodology complemented by historical and descriptive analysis, this study critically evaluates the MPIA's role within the context of international trade dispute resolution. It compares the MPIA's innovative mechanism against the traditional WTO dispute settlement mechanisms, illuminating both its merits and limitations. The paper argues that while the MPIA represents a creative and necessary stopgap, beyond this, it is not a solution for the challenges facing the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism. The findings emphasize the crucial element for comprehensive reform within the WTO's Dispute Settlement Mechanism (DSM) to regain its functionality and credibility in international trade dispute settlement.

Published: May 2024

Objective – to study the incidence and risk factors of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), verified according to screening respiratory monitoring during sleep, performed during hospitalization in a therapeutic hospital. Design and methods. The study performed a retrospective analysis of 291 case histories of patients hospitalized in a therapeutic clinic in 2021-2022. All patients underwent overnight respiratory monitoring as part of the initial screening examination for sleep-disordered breathing. Results. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was identified in 216 patients, mild severity – in 27,8%, moderate severity – in 20,3%, severe severity – in 26,1% of patients. The incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients with diagnosed OSA was 28,7% and was significantly higher in patients with severe apnea compared to patients with mild apnea (p=0,043). According to the results of the analysis of the reasons underlying the development of AF in patients with verified apnea, arterial hypertension was identified in 96,8% of patients, chronic heart failure in 72,6%, coronary heart disease in 51,6%, thyrotoxicosis in 6,5%, sick sinus syndrome in 4,8% of patients, 19,4% of patients without structural heart damage. In severe apnea, the permanent form of AF was more common (p=0,008), and in mild OSA, paroxysmal AF was more common (p=0,024). It was found that the volumes of the left and right atria in patients with AF and severe OSA are greater than in patients with mild apnea. Conclusion. AF in OSA often occurs in patients without organic heart disease. The most common risk factors for AF in patients with OSA were arterial hypertension, found in 96,8% of subjects, as well as obesity (in 74,2%). The incidence of AF in patients with severe apnea is higher than in patients with mild apnea. The permanent form of AF is detected more often, and atrial volumes are larger in patients with severe OSA compared to patients with mild sleep-disordered breathing.
Our Common Home: Eastern Europe / Central Europe / Post-Communist Europe as Signifiers of Cultural-Political Geographies and Identities
Authors: Stavreva Kirilka , Sokolova Boika , Pikli Natália , Wild Jana
Published: May 2024

The article discusses the historical mutability and political connotations of the geographical signifiers Eastern and Central Europe, and the chronotope Post-Soviet / Post-Communist Europe. It considers the tensions present in these denominations, arguing for the need to defamiliarize and re-define them. Three major sections survey the circumstances that shaped the referential and connotative values of the terms from the Enlightenment to the era of European integration. The article notes commonalities in the defining experiences of the countries in the east of Europe: their emergence from the ruins of former empires (Habsburg, Russian, Ottoman) and of the Soviet bloc. It considers whether the spatial terms have been developed from within or imposed from the outside, and discusses how they have perpetuated stereotypes of the region under consideration and its people(s) and generated enduring cultural myths. It concludes by proposing terms that recoup the cultural significance of the region—East-Central Europe, its close correlative East-Centre Europe, the neologism Europeast—and by alerting scholars working on transnational Shakespeare adaptations to the importance of recontextualizing research in individual national traditions as part of a larger investigation of the mutual translatability of shared experiences.

Published: May 2024

The article discusses the variety of ways in which the terms “popular” or “populist” could be associated with postwar Shakespearean transcreations in the Central and Eastern European region, pointing out how performers and adaptors challenged the canonical, highbrow status of Shakespeare and used his oeuvre as raw material in experimental forms and genres. Following a discussion on the variety of socio-historical contexts which inspired noteworthy popular and/or populist reworkings in several Central and Eastern European countries, the article takes a more in-depth look at a few specific comic genres, particularly the burlesque and the cabaret in a theoretical framework, and concludes by examining post-1989 experimental theatre practices.

Ukryte życie roślin w literaturze fantastycznej przełomu XIX i XX wieku
Authors: Piechota Dariusz
Published: May 2024

This article presents an analysis and interpretation of different images of plants in the fantastic literature in the turn of 19th and 20th century. The author indicates two images of them. First (described by Wiśniowski in Flying Tree) presents plant as a very empathic creature which helps people to survive in a harsh condition. Second (described by Wells and Lovecraft) presents plant as a predacious creature which wants to kill and devour humans. Plants in science fiction literature are hybrids; they contain features typical for people. The reality in Wiśniowski, Wells and Lovecraft’s short stories was presented from biocentric perspective to sensitize the reader to the world of plants, mysterious and forgotten creatures, seemingly devoid of subjectivity. This type of literature is not only a valuable source about man-nature relationship, but primarily it questions the popular definition of nature as the primary Other, which is subordinated to human.

The area of the Holy Land is called “The Land flowing milk and honey”. The first Polish pilgrims who came to the Holy Land already paid attention to the diversity of its fauna and flora and this is confirmed by the descriptions of their journeys. Thanks to the 16th century description of the Holy Land by Anzelm Polak, Jan Tarnowski, Jan Goryński and Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł Sierotka it is possible to check whether something especially and invariably intrigued Poles in the Middle Eastern nature.
The purpose of the article is to create a list of key fragments with the themes of fauna and flora from the itineraries of the travelers mentioned. The collected material will allow us to look at nature, as it was seen by the 16th century Polish pilgrims.
The presentation opens with a description of the Polak’s peregrination, and will finish with the description of Radziwiłł Sierotka. The chronological order and the scheme: presentation of the author, description of the source and its discussion will apply to each artifact.
In all relations to a greater or lesser extent, were found exotic expression of the Middle Eastern nature. Pilgrims took notes of the most characteristic animals and plants found in the Holy Land. The list of texts is also emphasized by their individual values and deficiencies, which were not previously noticed by scientists.

Introduction: Au Bénin, la dialyse est la dernière alternative dans l’arsenal thérapeutique, pour maintenir en vie un patient insuffisant rénal chronique terminal. Avant la mise en place de la dialyse, l’insuffisance rénale chronique terminale était systématiquement mortelle. Cette étude a pour objectif d’identifier les facteurs associés à la mortalité deshémodialysés au CHUD/B-A.
Cadre et méthodes d’étude: Cette recherche a été réalisée dans le service de néphrologie du CHUD/B-A. Il s’agissait d’une étude transversale, descriptive et analytique qui s’est déroulée du 25 décembre 2022 au 15 mars 2023 et a porté sur les données de 2017 à 2022. Elle a concerné 95 dossiers de patients hémodialysés, collectés de façon exhaustive et répondant aux critères d’inclusion. L‘analyse des données a été  faite avec le logiciel SPSS 26.
Résultats: Le taux brut de mortalité était de 80%. L’âge médian des patients était de 44 ans. Les facteurs de risque associés à la mortalité des hémodialysés du service de néphrologie du CHUD/B-A étaient: les travailleurs en indépendant et secteur informel (HRa=2,7, p=0,009), le faible revenu mensuel (HRa=4,4, p=0,009), l’hypoglycémie (HRa=3,3, p=0,003), le nombre élevé de médicament (HRa=2,2, p=0,004), la mauvaise observance thérapeutique (HRa=2,2, p=0,003) et le court séjour en hémodialyse (HRa=31,7, p<0,001).
Conclusion: La réduction de la mortalité des hémodialysés chroniques passe par l’amélioration de l’accessibilité financière à la l’hémodialyse.
Introduction: In Benin, dialysis is the last alternative in the therapeutic arsenal to keep a patient with chronic end-stage renal failure alive.

KENTLEŞMEYİ PLANLAMAK: KALKINMA PLANLARINDAKİ ŞEHİRLEŞME POLİTİKALARININ DÖNÜŞÜMÜ
Authors: Bölükbaşı Adem
Published: May 2024

Bu çalışmada kalkınma planlarında kentleşmeyle alakalı sorunlara odaklanarak, planlardaki söylemler ve yaklaşımlar üzerinden, kentleşme politikalarının kalkınma anlayışlarındaki değişim ekseninde nasıl dönüştüğünü anlamaya çalıştık. Bu çalışmada kalkınma planları üzerinden daha çok kalkınma anlayışlarının kentleşmeye etkilerinin izlerini sürmeye çalıştık. Bu kapsamda üç ana dönem olduğu görülmektedir. Birinci dönem gerçek anlamda planlı kalkınma anlayışının ve ulusal kalkınmacı bir sistemin hâkim olduğu 1960-1980 arası dönemdir. Bu dönemde kentleşme pratiğinde ithal ikameci bir sanayileşme politikasının hâkim olduğu ve bu sanayileşme stratejisine ucuz işgücü temini için gecekondu şeklinde tezahür eden enformel konut ekonomisine göz yumulduğu görülmektedir. İkinci dönem ulusal kalkınmacılığın tasfiye olduğu ve bunun yerine yeni-liberalizme geçişin yapısal şartlarının oluştuğu dönemdir. Bu dönem ithal ikameci sanayileşme modelinden ihracat odaklı büyüme anlayışına geçildiği bir liberalizasyon dönemi olarak öne çıkmıştır. Artık kentleşme üzerindeki kararların da ulusal kalkınmacı bir vizyonla değil daha çok küresel sermayenin gerekliliklerine göre şekillendiği bir dönem ortaya çıkmıştır. Türkiye’de kentleşme ve kalkınma ilişkisinin son dönemi ise yeni-liberalizmin olgunlaşma aşamasını yaşadığı ve küreselleşmenin etkilerinin daha derinden hissedildiği iki binli yıllardır. Bu dönemin en çok öne çıkan temel olgular kentsel dönüşüm ve konut stoğunun yenilenmesi, afet yönetimi, bölgesel kalkınma, küreselleşme ve AB süreci uyum başlıklarıdır.

XX. yüzyılın en etkili sosyal bilimcilerinden Lévi-Strauss, gecikmeli çevirilere ve hakkındaki yazılara rağmen uzun yıllar Türkiye’de görülmemiş, görmezden gelinmiş ya da görülmesi engellenmiş, yapısal antropoloji dört başı mamur bir kuram olarak kullanıma açılmamış, arızi bir teorik yaklaşım olarak nadiren kendisine yer bulmuştur. Bu nadir atıflar ve kullanımlar içerisinde Türkiye’de Lévi-Strauss’un kavramlarını belirli bir problem alanıyla ilişkilendiren ve toplumsal bir olgunun incelenmesinde yapısal antropolojiden faydalanan Şerif Mardin ve Sencer Divitçioğlu istisnai bir konumu temsil ederler. Bu makale, bu iki sosyal bilimcinin Lévi-Strauss’tan hangi konuda, nasıl ve ne şekilde yararlandıklarını göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Mardin ve Divitçioğlu’nun yapısal antropolojiyle kurdukları ilişki, söz konusu teorinin açıklama kapasitesine ve Türk sosyal bilimleri açısından henüz keşfedilmemiş potansiyellerine işaret etmekle birlikte bu iki ismin kendi teorik çizgilerinde “görünmez” ya da “anlaşılmaz” kalan yönlerin açığa çıkarılması bakımından da önem taşımaktadır.

Published: May 2024

Purpose — This study aims to examine the moderating effect of the company size on the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure and company profitability in mining industry.Method — This study employs multiple regression to examine the relationship between CSR disclosure and profitability using ROA and ROE proxies, with company size as a moderator. The observations were conducted on 12 mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period of 2018-2022.Result — We found that company size moderates the relationship between CSR disclosure and company profitability, using ROA and ROE as proxies. The results indicate that CSR disclosure had a positive and significant effect on company profitability when measured with ROA proxies but did not show significance with ROE proxies.Contribution  — This research contributes by using company size variable as the moderator in the relationship between CSR disclosure and financial performance.
Halal cosmetics and consumer behavior: Insight from Millennials
Authors: Mahliza Febrina , Prasetya Prita
Published: May 2024

Purpose — This study aims to analyze the consumption behavior of halal cosmetic products, focusing on factors such as halal certification, trust, and awareness of halal practices.Method — The population for this research comprises residents of Jakarta who fall within the millennial generation category (born between 1980-2000). The research sample size will consist of 170 respondents selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection will be conducted through questionnaires, and the analysis will be performed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis method.Result — Based on the study's findings, it can be concluded that halal certification has a positive and significant impact on both halal trust and awareness. Additionally, trust exhibits a positive and significant influence on the consumption of halal products, indicating that higher consumer trust is associated with increased consumer behavior in consuming halal cosmetic products. However, it was observed that halal awareness does not significantly affect consumption behavior. This implies that an increase in halal awareness does not necessarily correspond to a higher likelihood of consuming halal cosmetic products.Novelty  — The unique contribution of this research lies in its focused analysis of the consumption behavior associated with halal products. This study builds upon previous research by delving into specific variables that impact behavior, particularly within the context of halal cosmetic products.
Comparison of Allergic Diseases in terms of Anxiety, Depression and Quality of Life
Authors: Özdel Öztürk Betül , Kayhan Mehmet
Published: May 2024

Studies have shown the frequency of anxiety and depression and decreased quality of life (QoL) in patients with allergic diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate anxiety and depression symptoms and QoL in patients with asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), urticaria/angioedema (U/A) and drug allergy without any psychiatric diagnosis and to compare these four diseases in these respects. In this cross-sectional study demographic and clinical characteristics were collected from patients’records. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Short Form 36 (SF-36) were used to assess anxiety and depression symptoms and QoL. A total of 159 patients were included in the study and grouped as asthma (n=43, 27.1%), AR (n=45, 28.3%), U/A (n=44, 27.7%) and drug allergy (n=27, 17%). There was a significant difference in HADS anxiety score and SF-36 physical functioning subscore (p<0.001 and p=0.001, respectively). HADS anxiety score was higher in the U/A group and SF-36 physical functioning was lower in asthma group. Among asthmatics, SF-36 subscores of physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, social role functioning were lower in the patients at step 4 and 5 (n=22, 51.2%) than in those at step 2 and 3 (n=21, 48.8%) (p=0.001, p=0.031 and p=0.005, recpectively). In the U/A group, there was a positive moderate correlation between the urticaria activity score 7 and the HADS anxiety score (r:0.579, p<0.001). Our study showed that U/A patients had more anxiety symptoms comparing to other allergic diseases. Disease activity and severity had a significant relationship with anxiety level in U/A patients and with QoL in asthmatics.

Authors: Wu Rui , Han Jinfeng , Li Jing , Li Lin , Liu Shuang , Tian Peng , Yan Wenfu
Published: May 2024

The hydrogen form of low-silica KFI zeolite, with a Si/Al ratio of 3.2 (referred to as H-KFI-3.2), has been shown to possess significant selectivity for monomethylamine (MMA) and dimethylamine (DMA) in methanol amination reactions. However, its industrial viability for MMA and DMA synthesis has been hindered by its relatively low methanol (MeOH) conversion and yield of MMA plus DMA. In this study, we synthesize high-silica KFI zeolite with an elevated framework Si/Al ratio of 5.4 (designated as KFI-5.4) using a novel K+ and 18-crown-6 complex [referred to as (K+)CCH, with a ratio of 18-crown-6 to K+ of 2.85] as an organic structure-directing agent. Control experiments have demonstrated that the presence of both K+ and OH- ions is essential for the formation of KFI-5.4 zeolite. The hydrogen form of KFI-5.4 (H-KFI-5.4) exhibits significantly enhanced MeOH conversion (95.2%) and yield (75.1%) of MMA plus DMA compared to the low-silica H-KFI-3.2 under similar reaction conditions. This represents the highest level of catalytic performance among reported small-pore zeolites to date. Furthermore, the yield and selectivity of MMA plus DMA can be further improved by modifying KFI-5.4 with an appropriate loading of Na+, which suppresses the formation of the by-product dimethyl ether. This study introduces a new high-silica KFI zeolite catalyst with exceptional MeOH conversion and yield for the production of MMA plus DMA.

Published: May 2024

Стаття присвячена дослідженню особливостей діагностичного процесу в умовах невизначеності. Враховуючи, що невизначеність є неодмінною складовою діагностичного процесу, дослідження націлене на підвищення стійкості у прийнятті економічних рішень в умовах постійної економічної динаміки. Таким чином, ця стаття відображає синтез двох ключових напрямів в економічних дослідженнях – діагностики та невизначеності – і має на меті забезпечити структурований підхід до методології та інструментів, необхідних для ефективного проведення діагностичного процесу в умовах невизначеності. У статті акцентується увага на важливості проведення економічної діагностики, підкреслюючи, що вона виходить за межі простого аналізу та надає більш глибоке розуміння економічних умов та процесів. Це означає, що діагностика включає в себе не лише аналіз окремих факторів, але й їх взаємодію та вплив на загальну економічну ситуацію. Аналізуючи взаємозв'язок різних економічних факторів, діагностичний процес надає можливість заздалегідь ідентифікувати потенційні ризики, можливості підприємства до подальшого розвитку. Також, автори пропонують власне визначення діагностичного процесу та деталізують етапи економічної діагностики у яких чітко відображається різниця між аналізом та діагностикою. Зазначається, що в умовах нестабільності та змін в економіці важливо мати чіткий план дій для ефективного вирішення економічних проблем та запобігати кризам на ранніх етапах розвитку. Деталізація етапів діагностики допомагає підприємствам оперативно реагувати на зміни та адаптувати свої стратегії відповідно до поточних умов. У рамках дослідження розглядається використання математичної моделі для діагностики фінансового стану підприємства в умовах невизначеності, яка призначена для системного та точного аналізу наявної ситуації, з урахуванням динаміки та невизначеності в спостереженнях. Дане дослідження ставить за мету не лише розширення теоретичного розуміння діагностичних процесів у сфері економіки, а й надання конкретних інструментів для практичного застосування в умовах сучасного економічного середовища.

ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ МЕХАНОЛЮМІНЕСЦЕНЦІЇ СЕРЕДОВИЩА З МАГНІТНИМИ НАНОЧАСТИНКАМИ
Authors: Орел Валерій
Published: May 2024

Механолюмінесценція – це явище випромінювання світла біологічними об’єктами у відповідь на механічне подразнення. Відомі апарати для реєстрації механолюмінесценції достатньо обмежені у можливості проведення досліджень у біологічних об’єктах у рідкому стані під комбінованим магніто-механічним впливом магнітних наночастинок по відношенню до контрольних вимірів спонтанної хемілюмінесценції досліджуваних зразків. Актуальною є потреба у розробці технічного рішення для дослідження механолюмінесценції, що дозволяє використовувати більш широкий спектр аналізів для більш повного розуміння взаємозв’язку застосування магнітних і механічних сил магнітних наночастинок на злоякісні клітини. Тому, метою даної роботи було проаналізувати біофізичні основи та описати конструкцію запропонованого пристрою для реєстрації механолюмінесценції злоякісних клітин з використанням магнітних наночастинок. Розглянуто біофізичні аспекти механолюмінесценції при пружних, пластичних деформаціях та руйнуванні, а також ті, що можуть бути ініційовані хімічними вільнорадикальними реакціями, спричиненими механічним стресом. Наведено опис конструкції запропонованого пристрою для реєстрації механолюмінесценції клітин з магнітними наночастинками, принциповим технічним рішенням у якому є застосування ротаційного магнітного поля для механохімічного впливу та реєстрації фотонів механолюмінесценції клітин з магнітними наночастинками. Також, описано технологію підготовки проб та реєстрації механолюмінесценції злоякісних клітин з магнітними наночастинками. Оцінка випромінення механолюмінесценції може потенційно слугувати додатковим кількісним параметром магніто-механохімічного ефекту на злоякісні клітини при магнітній нанотераностиці для покращення точності медичної діагностики та оцінки відповіді пухлини на проведену терапію.
