Представлены результаты исследований поверхностных сточных вод (дождевых и талых). Определен качественный состав поверхностных сточных вод с различных территорий водосбора в городской среде для последующей оценки возможности их разделения, локальной очистки и повторного использования. Рассмотрены проблемы разграничения ответственности, связанные со сбросом загрязненных поверхностных сточных вод, предложены возможные пути решения обозначенных проблем. Результаты проведенных исследований свидетельствуют о возможности рационального использования юридическими абонентами поверхностной сточной воды для разделения потоков и составления планов снижения сброса. Целесообразно повторное использование дождевых и талых сточных вод, собранных с кровли здания, в том числе в качестве технической воды для ряда объектов с применением минимального количества очистного оборудования.

The results of studies of surface runoff (rainfall and snow-melt waters) are presented. The qualitative composition of surface runoff from various catchment areas in the urban environment was determined for the subsequent estimation of their possible splitting, local treatment and reuse. The problems of battery limits associated with the discharge of polluted surface runoff are considered, and possible ways to solve the identified problems are proposed. The results of the studies prove the possibility of rational use of surface runoff by legal customers to split the flows and draw up discharge reduction plans. It is advisable to reuse rainfall and snow-melt waters collected from the roof of a building, including as process water for a number of facilities using a minimum amount of the treatment equipment.

In this paper, we report achieving extremely high-density packing in high-voltage vertical gallium nitride (GaN) nanocolumn Schottky barrier diodes (NC-SBDs) through the adoption of a bottom-up process. The NC-SBDs were formed via epitaxial growth using Titanium-mask selective area growth (Ti-SAG) by rf-plasma-assisted MBE (rf-MBE), realizing a packing density equivalent to exceeding 10 million columns/mm2. Our fabricated NC-SBDs with a period of 300 nm, a diameter of 250 nm, and a drift length of 1.3 μm demonstrated a breakdown voltage (BV) of 260 V with an on-resistance of 2.0 mΩcm2, yielding an excellent figure of merit of 33.8 MW/cm2 for nanocolumn-based high-voltage devices. We also discuss dielectric reduced surface field effect and impurities within the nanocolumns as potential factors contributing to the achievement of higher BV devices.

* empirical tight-binding method were performed to provide a statistical understanding of the electronic structures and bandgap distributions of III–V (InAs, InP, GaSb) and IV (Si) semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) with surface roughness. The electronic states and wavefunctions of QDs with surface roughness of different sizes, shapes, and materials were computed. The effects of surface roughness on the electronic structures and the bandgap distributions of QDs were investigated. The results show that the bandgaps of QDs of considered materials/sizes/shapes increase on average when introducing surface roughness. It is shown that the simulated bandgap distributions of QDs with surface roughness can be reproduced by a simple model formula, which can be applied to different materials, sizes, and shapes. The model formula was derived by assuming that removing and adding of one atom procedures are independent random processes.
Demystifying work-related outcomes and life satisfaction of Bangladeshi working women during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Mahmod Shajjad
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on working women’s personal and professional lives is overwhelming. This paper aims to demystify the intervening role of work-life balance in the association of life satisfaction with work-from-home and workplace flexibility during a covid emergency.
Research methodology: To follow this aim, 196 working women coming from different occupations enjoying work-from-home arrangements during COVID-19 have been selected based on convenience as respondents. After confirming the reliability-validity and fitness of the proposed model, the responses have been further examined for testing the hypotheses.
Results: The findings demystify strong associations of independent variables (work from home and workplace flexibility) with the dependent variable (life satisfaction) as well as with the mediator (work-life balance). The mediating role of work-life balance between the independent and dependent variables has also proved significant.
Limitations: This study has limitations, such as mainly focusing on Chattagram, Bangladesh, selecting respondents based on convenience, and needing more research to analyse the effects of variables on male workers.
Contribution: Regulatory authorities, corporate bodies and HR practitioners will get strong insights while formulating strategic HR guidelines in regular situations as well as in emergencies in this study.
Novelty: In a patriarchal country like Bangladesh, where women's contributions to the economy are increasing day by day, the government and other regulatory authorities should consider working women's work-life equilibrium and well-being when drafting legislation regarding HR practices.

Italian Sources for the Display of documenta 1955 in Kassel and an unrealised Reform of the Art Museum
Authors: Joachimides Alexis
Published: December 2023

In an effort to rehabilitate modernism in the eyes of the mainstream art public, rebalancing its repression as ‘degenerate art’ during the ‘Third Reich’, the documenta 1955 was a singular attempt to redefine the cultural climate in post-war Germany. While the choice of artists and artworks was largely retrospective, their radically modern display in the provisional setting of a war-damaged historical museum building essentially contributed to its perception as an epitome of the ‘contemporary’. Until recently, the many accounts of this display have not conclusively identified the possible sources of this innovation. The paper discusses to what extend innovative Italian museum displays of the post-war reconstruction period were an inspiration for German exhibition designers. It also identifies how these sources were transmitted, and situates the temporary result within a discourse of museum reform during the 1950s.
Concetti e strategie progettuali per ripensare il funzionamento di un comprensorio irriguo di derivazione appenninica
Authors: Filippi Luca
Published: December 2023

Moving from the working hypothesis of reading the water infrastructure as a fundamental support for territorial construction (Viganò, Secchi, Fabian, 2016), the following essay proposes an original perspective and some new analytical and conceptual operations to deal with this research theme. This aim is carried out by using a design experience based on a very specific case study: a territory that can be defined through the image, proposed by Piero Bevilacqua (1989), of the irrigation oasis, an irrigation districit with specialized agriculture characterized es by the relationship with the Apennine mountain and with the torrential regime of its water bodies.

By translating this image into a specific ecological structure – produced by a close relation between surface and underground forms of water, thickness and rationality of the soil, forms and structures of agricultural property – the essay proposes an original reading of a contemporary territory designed by water.

Published: December 2023

Background: Otitis media with effusion (OME), sometimes referred to as secretory or severe otitis media, is among the most common conditions in children. An estimated 80% of all children have had at least 1 episode of OME by the age of 10 years, with a peak of prevalence in the first 2 years of life. Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 on otitis media with effusion in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross-section observational study Rangpur Medical College & Hospital Rangpur, Bangladesh. The duration of the period from July 2021 to July 2022. A total of 80 children, Age <6 months or >12 years with Otomicroscopic evidence of tympanosclerosis, choesteatoma, eardrum perforation, or complete stenosis or atresia of the external auditory canal were included in the study. Severely ill children and not willing to participate were excluded. After collection, the data were checked and cleaned, followed by editing, compiling, coding and categorizing according to the objectives and variable to detect errors and to maintain consistency, relevancy and quality control. Statistical evaluation of the results used to be obtained via the use of a window-based computer software program devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS- 24). Results: Before pandemic 9.52% of the respondents had <3 years of age, 23.80% were 3-7 years, 57.14% were 7-10 years and 10% had 10-12 years of age. During pandemic 11.42% of the respondents had <3 years of age, 19.04% were 3-7 years, 61.90% were 7-10 years and 7.62% had 10-12 years of age. No significant difference in mean age before and during pandemic. Before pandemic 65% of the respondents were male and 35% were female. During pandemic 40% of the respondents were male and 60% were female. Before pandemic 28.57% respondents were underweight, 57.14% were in normal range and 14.28% were overweight. During pandemic 26.67% were underweight, 55.23% were in normal range and 18% were overweight. The prevalence of OME was 40.6% before pandemic and 2.3% during pandemic. Children with chronic OME had a higher rate of disease resolution during pandemic (95%) than those examined before pandemic (5%, P \.001). Conclusion: The findings of our study, in our opinion, have important clinical implications, implying that keeping children at home for as little as 2 months may allow for the resolution of most cases with severe and refractory OME. This method, while possibly advantageous for all age groups, should be given special consideration for young children, who are the most susceptible to otitis.

Authors: Demissie Yitagesu Tadesse , Sako Asela Kesho
Published: December 2023

The storage fungi damage the grains in several ways; they reduce the germination capacity, produce undesirable odor and kernel discoloration, decrease the food value, and also produce toxins that are injurious to the health of consumers. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the presence, and determine the identity, and incidences of major fungal pathogens associated with crop seeds. Totally fifty-eight seed samples of nine crops were used to investigate the presence and incidence of fungi associated with them in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media. Results of the study revealed that a total of 9 fungi belonging to 8 genera viz. Penicillium sp., Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Bipolaris sp., Botrytis sp., Alternaria sp., Ascochyta sp., Fusarium oxysporum, and Rhizopus sp. were isolated from samples. The infection percentage varied from 0-100% in samples of seed multiplication store. Most varieties of crops showed 100% infection followed by 97.5% (HB1307 of barley and Alidoro of wheat), 95% (Kingbird of wheat and RIB13/14 of nug), 90% (Kuncho of teff), 50% (Holetta-1 11/12 of gomenzer), 20% (Ginchi-1 11/12 of nug and Yellow Dodola15/16 of gomenzer), 10% (Shambu 17/18 of oat), and 5% (Shambu 11/12 of oat, S-67 17/18 of gomenzer and Fogera 10/11 of nug) except linseed samples 0%. In general, seed-borne fungi were present in most seed samples of cereals, oils, and legume crops. Some of the identified fungi are potential producers of mycotoxins, thus their presence is important in terms of reduced food safety for humans and animals. In addition, some seed-borne fungi were also the causal agents of diseases of the roots, stems, and leaves of crops. Fungal incidence of seed was highly associated with storage conditions of the independent variables, such as temperature and relative humidity of storage. So, it is suggested that the management of fungal growth, mycotoxin production, and fungal contamination incidence of seed should be investigated and confirmed with additional studies.

Introduction: The majority of antimicrobial agents are ineffective against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections, leading to unfavorable clinical consequences. This fact is associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates, prolonged hospital stays, and increased treatment-related costs. Carbapenems are the last line for the treatment of infection caused by bacteria resistance to a broad spectrum of antibiotics. Objective: This study aimed to detect the Distribution of Carbepanems Resistance in Enterobacteriaceae Pathogens Isolated from Clinical Samples in the Shendi locality. Methods: A cross-sectional study and a laboratory-based study were carried out on 63 isolates from different specimens, 63 types of pathogenic bacteria were isolated and identified using Gram stain, biochemical reactions, and testing for their susceptibility to Carbapenems antibiotics was performed for all Enterobacteriaceae isolates. Result: The isolated Enterobacteriaceae comprising of 19.0(30.2%) E.coli, 17 (27.0%) K. pneumoniae, 13(20.6%) P. vulgaris, 5(7.9%) P. mirabilis, 1(1.6%) Enterobacter species, 3(4.8%) C. freundii and 5(7.9%) M. morganii. Carbapenem (Imipenem and meropenem) susceptibility testing showed that 36.0% of Enterobacteriaceae isolates were Carbapenem-resistant. Conclusions: The study revealed the low resistance pattern of Enterobacteriaceae to Carbapenems. Despite that E.coli (19.0, 30.0%) was the most isolated organism, and K. pneumonia (7.0, 11.0%) was the most resistant isolate to Carbapenems. The urine sample had the highest degree of resistance. There was a correlation between patients with chronic diseases such as cancer and the resistance level to Carbapenems, while there was no statistical significance between the period of antibiotics usage and the degree of resistance.

The article considers the indicator of marketability of milk, which directly affects the formation of competitiveness of raw milk produced in the Republic of Bashkortostan, and raw materials for further export and production of dairy products. The factors and features influencing the indicator of the volume of commercial milk production in the Russian Federation and the analyzed region, the quality of milk are revealed. The volume of commercial milk production is the main key indicator of the development of dairy cattle breeding, since it is commercial (and not all raw) milk that is the resource base for the industrial production of dairy products and only commercial milk can be reliably accounted for. To date, in the republic, the share of commercial milk from the total milk yield is only 51%, with the average Russian indicator of 73.7%. Based on this, possible ways to solve the problem of increasing the volume of commercial milk production in the Republic of Bashkortostan, as well as the impact of modernization of production facilities, state subsidies and investments in the development of the industry are considered.

The article examines the impact of international sanctions on the economic life of society and the activities of companies in Russia. Anti-Russian sanctions had a great impact on its economy and management. This may include a ban on the import and export of certain goods and services, restrictions on access to financial markets, freezing of assets and much more. In the context of sanctions, companies must be more flexible and adaptable in order to quickly respond to the changing situation and minimize negative consequences. They are forced to look for alternative sources of supply and sales of goods, which can lead to increased costs and loss of markets. This article discusses the main strategies that Russian companies are using to adapt to international sanctions, as well as the challenges they face in this process.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE STRUCTURE OF INVESTMENT INDUSTRIES ON THE LEVEL OF ECONOMIC SECURITY
Authors:   Institute of Market Problems RAS, Moscow, Russian Federation, Firsov Dmitry A.
Published: December 2023

An integrated understanding of investment security as security (of the state, national economy, investors, enterprises and other interested parties) in investment relations is given, based on the concept of economic security. By ensuring the maintenance of the investment climate, investment security presupposes real guarantees for the protection of investments and investors, minimization of risks and threats, formation and maintenance of political and economic stability; loyal public opinion, stability of the institutional environment, including the totality of rights inherent in the circumstances under consideration, minimization of criminal manifestations, stability of the exchange rate and the corresponding legal regime. The concept of the quality of the technological structure of investments is given, improving the quality of which can strengthen economic security. The need to increase spending on applied scientific developments and the restoration of industrial science is substantiated. The results of the study show that to strengthen economic security it is necessary to increase the share of capital acquisitions of an innovative nature in the technological structure of investments. The article identifies and systematizes five stages of the algorithm for implementing investment projects with an innovative focus. The systematization of the stages, structure and composition of investment projects made it possible to identify the main sectors in which the main executors of Russian investment projects operate. Investment sectors include: science, design, mechanical engineering and construction. The construction sector is represented as the main structural element of all investment industries, as well as the main consumer of their financing, which determines and ensures the execution of budget investments, implementing capital-intensive capital works. A feature of the domestic construction sector, inherent in the Russian economy as a whole, is highlighted and explained - the presence of a significant and sometimes excessive number of intermediaries in intra-industry markets. It is concluded that in conditions of economic uncertainty, the instability of construction orders provokes market participants to minimize their resources, replacing them with a strategy of maximizing the involvement of subcontractors. At the same time, the intermediary segment of the construction market is dynamically and even creatively adapting to sectoral government pricing. This is how discrepancies arise between the volumes of state (municipal) property put into operation and the cost of consumed resources.

The modern development of the Russian Federation is aimed at further strengthening the legal foundations of federalism, in the context of which the issues of decentralization of the fiscal sphere become of greatest relevance. An important direction of the ongoing state policy of regional development remains to ensure the economic integrity and independence of territorial entities and strengthening their financial stability. Tax federalism, as a separate part of budgetary federalism, has not yet received wide theoretical coverage, which prevents its legal consolidation and effective implementation. The article provides an assessment of the current mechanisms of tax federalism in Russia, identifying constructive and destructive elements of its implementation. The key shortcomings of the applied mechanism for delimiting fiscal powers are shown more clearly and with reasoning, and recommendations are given for improving the model of tax federalism, taking into account the peculiarities of modern development.

Published: December 2023

Cyber security is critical in protecting people who use the internet through various electronic devices in their daily lives. Some causes have occurred worldwide, causing people to experience issues when connecting their devices and systems to the internet. Hackers pose a significant threat to extremely sensitive data such as biotechnology and military assets; cyber security plays a critical role in securing such data. Misuse of the internet has become a current issue in many areas of life, particularly in social media, universities, and government organizations. The Internet is extremely beneficial to students in educational institutions and employees in various organizations. People can obtain information from the internet by using an internet source. They must, however, be protected when using the internet and secure against unauthorized access. In this paper, we discussed various aspects of network security and cyber security in the modern era. We also attempted to cover threats in organizational intranets.

Published: December 2023

Disaster management and predictive modeling are rapidly incorporating artificial intelligence (AI). Large data sets can be analyzed at an unprecedented pace, yielding insights that help anticipate and forestall catastrophes. Real-time, decision-making assistance and information access are further advantages of AI during disaster response. Preparatory and response initiatives stand to gain enormously from AI integration into the process, as it has already demonstrated. Potential disasters can be predicted and prevented thanks to AI's ability to analyze large amounts of data and detect patterns and trends. Disaster reaction teams can now make informed decisions, allocate sources efficiently, and react quickly to emergency situations with the guide of AI. Moreover, AI-based totally predictive modeling enhances the precision of predicting natural phenomena failures, enabling government to take proactive measures to decrease the impact on affected regions. The integration of AI in catastrophe control and predictive modeling has the ability to seriously beautify response techniques and shop lives.
Introducing Regenerative Architecture
Authors: Armstrong Rachel
Published: December 2023

The global-scale impacts of the Anthropocene have reached tipping points of order, resulting in the climate emergency. We are no longer able to carefully adjust our industrial practices to put this titan back into its box, and we must enter a new era of human development to meet our present needs. This involves restoring the living realm through bioremediating environments, enlivening communities, enriching soils, and rebuilding ecosystems as we live and work. The conservative net zero ambitions of “sustainability” cannot reverse our negative planetary-scale impact. A new approach to designing and engineering our habitats is needed. This introduction to the special issue on Regenerative Architecture takes a design-led approach to discuss how the practice of the built environment, through its imaginaries, materials, spaces, bodies, and technologies, can make a positive impact on the living world. Since we cannot solve the ongoing crises from within our present thinking, which has initiated and compounded our predicament, this special issue explores the work of regenerative architects who are urgently developing diverse and inclusive practices. These practices aim to transcend the habits, expectations, and blind spots that frame contemporary practices. Taking a radically experimental and inclusive interdisciplinary design approach, the emerging field of regenerative architecture is actively developing a range of new tools, technologies, models, experimental platforms, theories, buildable systems, and critiques for environmentally beneficial practices. The nature of this ongoing research is diverse and interdisciplinary, invoking new concepts and formats that search for ways of working with nature, both as a co-creator of places and as a net beneficiary of architectural interventions.
SOME ASPECTS OF LEGAL REGULATION OF OUTSOURCING IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Open International University of Human Development «Ukraine», Denysov Denys
Published: December 2023

The article notes that legal regulation of outsourcing in Ukraine is based on several laws and regulations. The author analyses the lack of unity in the use of the conceptual apparatus in the field of accounting outsourcing, which necessitated a study of the historical aspects of the emergence of this concept and the peculiarities of its interpretation in various areas. It is determined that at the legislative level there are no clear requirements for external entities to conduct accounting. Many problems in organizing cooperation between an outsourcer and a customer enterprise arise due to the lack of thoughtfulness of the outsourcing agreement. The author substantiates the issues that should be disclosed in an accounting outsourcing agreement (terms of the agreement, including the list of services provided, the start and end dates of the agreement, the customer's requirements for the qualifications of outsourcers, the procedure for reporting by the outsourcer on the services provided, the liability of the outsourcer and the customer, the procedure for compensation for losses, the procedure for early termination of the agreement). The author proves that when concluding an outsourcing agreement, it is necessary to use the concepts approved by the Tax Code of Ukraine.
