Published: September 2024

The article describes the importance of applying the information technological tools for the effective activity of archive of higher education institution. Organizational and administrative documents make a significant part of the archives of higher education institution. Organizational and administrative documents can be of the following types: an order, resolution, decision and instruction. These documents establish and regulate the structure, tasks, functions, duties, rights and responsibilities of all the management board members. All the documents come to archive in paper form. For the convenience of storage and use there is a need for electronic storage. Development a web resource through the use of information technological tools will allow to creating a system of structured storage of electronic documents. And also to ensure the reliability, confidentiality and differentiation of access rights for a wide range of users. Converting a document from paper to an electronic form involves its digitalization. The digitalization is provided by the following stages: document scanning,recognition of its content and digital preservation. Scanning of documents from the archive is carried out using scanner. Document content recognition can be made using shareware software solutions (ABBYY FineReader, Readiris, Convertio.co, iLovePDF, Scanitto Pro ect) and free like a OCR CuneiForm, ISTIO, NAPS2, CuneiForm FreemoreOCR, FreeOCR ect. While the process of digital preservation of the document should be carried out considering the special features of its content and metadata. Therefore, the corresponding functionality was developed. Functionality has also been implemented – the creation of tasks for the permanent digitization of documents and the creation of search filters according to the attributes that were entered into the database during digital storage. The requirements to protection data from loss or modification are given.
Modeling of Passenger Flows Analysis System of Low-carbon Transportation in a Smart City
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Matseliukh Yurii , Lytvyn Vasyl ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: September 2024

The paper examines the impact of the increase in passenger traffic in public transport on environmental pollution, as well as the search for ways to reduce emissions of carbon-containing compounds caused by the growth of the planet’s population, the number of vehicles that transport them, and the amount of emissions that these vehicles generate. The object of research is the system of passenger transportation in a smart city. Through correlation-regression analysis of passenger flows in a regional city with a population of fewer than 1 million registered residents, the paper identifies a functional dependence between the volume of passenger transportation by public transport and the volume of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmospheric air from mobile sources of pollution, which include all types of automobile and electric transport. It was established that the optimization of the public transport network plays a decisive role in the implementation of low-carbon transportation. Conceptual provisions for the creation of an intelligent system for the organization of low-carbon passenger transportation in a smart city were proposed, which were displayed using activity, state, and deployment diagrams. The optimization of the routes of the public transport system is proposed to be implemented through the concept of adding a new passenger, supplementing the route, and adapting public transport networks to the needs of consumers and the demand for transport to achieve the goals of the concept of a smart city - reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The scientific novelty of the proposed intelligent system concept consists of the use of an integrated approach to the optimization of vehicle routes in a smart city to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

Authors: Sinkova M. N. , Isakov L. K. , Plotnikova E. Yu. , Barbarash O. L.
Published: September 2024

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of long-term (five-year) supervised physical exercise in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) following myocardial infarction (MI) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Materials and Methods. The study included 88 patients with CHF of functional class II-III after MI and concomitant T2DM. In addition to standard medication therapy, patients in the main group (n = 42) performed regular moderate-intensity physical exercises for 30−60 minutes at least 5 days a week. The control group consisted of 46 patients who received standard medication therapy. Patients in both groups had similar clinical and demographic characteristics. After 5 years of follow-up, we assessed the incidence of a composite endpoint (death, MI, emergency myocardial revascularization, acute CHF decompensation), quality of life (measured by the SF36 questionnaire), levels of anxiety and depression (measured by the HADS questionnaire), and levels of fatigue (measured by the MFI-20 questionnaire). By the end of the five-year observation period, data were available for 40 patients in the main group (11 patients were excluded from the study due to discontinuation of regular physical exercise) and 42 patients in the control group.

Results. The incidence of the composite endpoint was 55.2% and 80.9% in main and control group, respectively (p = 0.038). Regular physical exercise over the five-year period was associated with a higher quality of life according to the SF36 questionnaire (64.5 [63.1; 67.8] vs. 49.2 [48.4; 49.8], p = 0.001), lower levels of anxiety (5.8 [5.1; 7.7] vs. 8.0 [6.8; 9.2], p = 0.042) and depression (2.9 [2.2; 4.2] vs. 10.7 [10.5; 12.3], p = 0.001) according to the HADS questionnaire, and lower levels of general fatigue according to the MFI-20 questionnaire (9.1 [8.5; 11.2] vs. 15.1 [14.5; 15.4], p = 0.019).

Conclusion. Long-term regular physical exercise in patients with CHF and T2DM improves cardiovascular outcomes and psychological status of patients.

Authors: Tishchenko E. N. , Artymuk N. V. , Zotova O. A. , Danilova L. N.
Published: September 2024

Aim. To identify the characteristics of pregnancy and childbirth in women with endometriosis-associated infertility (EAI).

Materials and Methods. Here we performed retrospective case-control study which included 115 women with histologically verified endometriosis and 250 women without this condition. Statistical analysis was conducted using the IMB SPSS Statistics 20 software package. The data distribution was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Quantitative data are presented as median (Me) and interquartile range (Q1 – Q3) using the Mann-Whitney test. The level of statistical significance for testing the null hypothesis was set at p < 0.05.

Results. Pregnancy in patients with EAI was statistically significantly more often complicated by placenta previa compared to the control group: 6 (5.2%) versus 3 (1.2%) (p = 0.031). Patients with EAI were delivered via cesarean section in 49.6% of cases, compared to 13.2% in those without EAI (p < 0.001). Labor in women with EAI was statistically significantly more often complicated by uterine inertia (hypotonic labor, 7.0% versus 2.4% in those without EAI, p = 0.043), retained placenta (4.3% vs 0.4%, p = 0.013); and hypotonic bleeding (3.5% vs 0.4%, p = 0.036). Maternal and neonatal outcomes including birth weight, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes, and the duration of hospital stay did not differ significantly between the groups.

Conclusions. Patients with EAI are characterized by a complicated course of pregnancy and childbirth with a higher incidence of placenta previa, abnormal labor, hypotonic bleeding, retained placenta, and cesarean delivery. Hence, the development of respective therapeutic and preventive measures is required to prevent these complications.

Published: September 2024

Aim. To assess the risk of malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors among the first-generation offspring of workers from the Mayak Production Association.

Materials and Methods. A retrospective epidemiological analysis was conducted in a cohort of the offspring of workers from Russia's first nuclear power plant (n = 8890), born between 1949 and 1973. The comparison group consisted of 4345 offspring born during the same period to non-exposed parents. The observation period covered 72 years (1949−2020), with a total of 818,208 person-years of follow-up. The analysis focused on the frequency, dynamics, and structure of CNS malignancies. The relative risk of CNS tumors and the excess relative risk per unit dose of parental occupational radiation exposure were calculated with 95% confidence intervals.

Results. Overall, the frequency of CNS tumors in both groups over the entire observation period did not differ significantly (3.4 per 1000 in the main group, 1.8 per 1000 in the comparison group). Analysis of CNS tumor incidence dynamics across calendar periods showed no significant differences, with the peak in the main group occurring during 2001−2010. No significant differences were found in the age of CNS tumor onset or the average age of parents at the time of offspring birth. Histological structure and localization of CNS tumors varied across groups. The relative risk assessment for CNS tumors showed a statistically insignificant increase in risk among the offspring in the main group when considering total observations and sex-specific analyses. Among the offspring of mothers with confirmed preconceptional and intrauterine occupational radiation exposure, the relative risk of CNS tumors was higher for males and both sexes combined (3.6 [1.06−12.28] and 2.74 [1.08−6.93]; 4.34 [1.27−14.77] and 3.3 [1.31−8.36], respectively). However, the analysis of excess relative risk did not indicate significant risk estimates for maternal radiation exposure, neither in general nor across different dose intervals.

Conclusion. The study did not confirm the hypothesis that parental occupational radiation exposure influences the risk of CNS tumors in offspring. Given the relatively young age of the cohort and the low number of CNS tumor cases, issues related to maternal radiation exposure require further observation.

Authors:   EU Business School, Geneva, Switzerland Digital Campus & Studio Navarra, UK, King Gary , Navarra Diego ,   EU Business School, Geneva, Switzerland Digital Campus & Studio Navarra, UK
Published: September 2024

Logistics costs represent a significant burden within South Africa's consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturing and retail supply chains. Amidst intensifying market competition and the pressing need for cost reduction, businesses are turning to digital platforms as a solution to optimise logistics efficiency while considering environmental sustainability. Despite the increasing interest in Business-to-Business (B2B) logistics digital platforms, limited case studies exist that explore their early-stage implementation, particularly in emerging markets.
This paper examines the implementation of a B2B logistics digital platform within a South African CPG company, using Transaction Cost Theory (TCT) and Organisational Ambidexterity as theoretical lenses. Through semi-structured interviews and an interpretative case study approach, this study investigates how the platform has enabled cost reductions and enhanced operational efficiencies. The findings reveal that the successful implementation of such platforms depends on a sustainable commercial model underpinned by reliability, trust, and transparency. The study also highlights the critical role of organisational ambidexterity in navigating the challenges posed by digital platform implementation in emerging markets.

Authors: Nasihatul Ummah Hasyim Nasihatul Ummah , Tarihoran Naf'an
Published: September 2024

The digital age has brought about significant transformation in many aspects of life, including education. On top of that, Siemens and Downes (2020) argued that the current digital era is defined by a concept called connectivism. It suggested that learning is fundamentally a social and networked process. Thus, the theory provided a powerful perspective on how digital platforms such as YouTube have changed the learning space. In this study, the authors aimed to find out the proper answer about the effectiveness of YouTube as the media that is widely used by teachers in improving students’ English speaking skills. This study employed a qualitative systematic review. The authors set the criteria for selecting previous studies using Xiao and Watson’s (2019) framework. The criteria were as follows: (1) published in journals and available in Google Scholar, (2) within the last five years from 2019 – 2023, (3) specifically related to the effectiveness of using YouTube as learning media in EFL classrooms to enhance students’ speaking skills, and (4) original research article and using a quantitative approach. As a whole, this study supported the notion that integrating YouTube into the language classroom can lead to significant improvements in students’ speaking skills, ultimately contributing to their overall language proficiency and motivation.

Competence-based approach to the implementation of strategic projects of university transformation
Authors: Apenko Svetlana N. , Breusova Anna G. , Leshchenko Natalia P.
Published: September 2024

The article discusses the issue of using a competence-based approach in university transformation projects. The authors argue that this approach is not widely used in the development and execution of strategic initiatives at universities. They believe that these shortcomings reduce the quality of team management and effectiveness of project activities. The aim of the research is to create a competence-role framework for university strategic project teams. The study takes into account the sectoral features and specifics of project implementation. It is based on the results of empirical sociological research conducted by the authors of this article. Twenty-two participants from one of the largest universities in Siberia were interviewed using in-depth, semi-structured interviews. The main hypothesis of the study was that the weak use of a competency-based approach and failure to develop competency-role structures for project teams were the main reasons for this problem. Scientific novelty of this research includes the development of a competence-role model, which demonstrates the distinction between different types of roles in university projects. It also identifies generalized competencies of team members and finds interrelationships between roles and competencies in project teams. The practical significance of this study lies in the objective possibility of applying its findings to the formation of project teams with a view to improving the effectiveness of transformational initiatives. Furthermore, the study's outcomes are intended to enhance the efficiency of strategic programs and bring about qualitative changes across various aspects of university operations.

Movement of a layer of bulk material along the working elements of vibratory conveyors
Authors: Arkhipenko A.V. , Nirov A.D. , Kuyukov V.V.
Published: September 2024

Theoretical studies of vibrational transportation of bulk material are presented. The dependence of the vibration transportation speed on the frequency and amplitude of oscillations is investigated, as well as the methodology for selecting the optimal law of oscillations of the load-bearing surface of the working element. The differences between the movement of a single layer of real bulk material along the working element of a vibratory conveyor and the movement of a material particle on a vibrating surface are considered. The formula forvibration displacement speed is modified by introducing a correction coefficient that takes into account the air permeability of the material. The necessity of studying the process of vibration transportation based on an elastic-viscous-plastic rheological model of the moving vibratory layer of bulk cargo is justified.

The relationship between corporate culture of SMEs and crisis response ability under the cross-cultural background
Authors: Zhao Fengyu , Aumeboonsuke Vesarach
Published: September 2024

This research explores the critical influence of corporate culture on small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) crisis response abilities under varied cross-cultural environments. Amid the disruptive backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, SMEs globally have faced unprecedented challenges. This study addresses a gap in the existing literature by conducting a cross-cultural analysis of SMEs in China, Thailand, and Germany to understand how corporate culture affects crisis management. Utilizing a competitive cultural value model, the research categorizes corporate culture into four dimensions: group culture, development culture, hierarchy culture, and rational culture. These cultural dimensions are investigated in relation to their impact on crisis response abilities. Additionally, national cultural dimensions such as individualism and uncertainty avoidance are examined as moderating variables. The findings reveal that group and development cultures positively influence crisis response abilities, enhancing organizational resilience and adaptability. Conversely, hierarchy culture negatively affects crisis management, hindering flexible response strategies. Rational culture supports structured crisis response through goal-oriented practices. National culture significantly moderates these relationships, with individualism and high uncertainty avoidance impacting the effectiveness of organizational cultural dimensions in crisis scenarios. This study offers theoretical advancements by integrating cultural dimensions with crisis response strategies and provides practical implications for SMEs striving to enhance their resilience and adaptability in a globalized business environment.

El héroe cotidiano es un elemento narrativo muy importante en el discurso audiovisual, que se establece como el envés del hombre inútil, una figura de raigambre literaria, específica de la modernidad y originaria de la cultura rusa del siglo XIX. Ambos son descendientes paródicos de los personajes heroicos y sabios de la literatura premoderna, y representan una resistencia frente al prosaísmo y pragmatismo impulsados por la revolución industrial. Además, su dinamismo estético y su ambivalencia moral los emparentan con una figura originaria de la literatura tradicional como es el embaucador. En el caso del cine estadounidense, se puede distinguir una fase de constitución durante la Gran Depresión; luego un giro pesimista y reflexivo con el arranque de la posguerra y una proliferación de tendencias con el cambio de siglo. Los trabajos concretos de algunos actores y actrices dan muestras del potencial de estas figuras modernas, capaces de generar una ejemplaridad cívica interclasista y de abrir la puerta al protagonismo femenino, a través de la cotidianeidad. Por otro lado, la pertenencia del héroe cotidiano a la clase media, inserta entre los grupos de poder y las clases populares, facilita su ensimismamiento y la consiguiente falta de conciencia acerca del lugar social que ocupa, así como un cierto conformismo respecto al status quo.
De Jesús Nazareno a Jesús del Gran Poder
Authors: Regalado González-Serna Víctor Daniel
Published: September 2024

La talla de Jesús del Gran Poder es una de las más conocidas de la imaginería barroca de Sevilla y, cabe añadir, su importancia es extensible realmente a toda la escultura española de la Edad Moderna. Por ello mismo ha sido una de las más estudiadas de Sevilla. Sin embargo, hasta ahora su advocación se ha atribuido popularmente como consecuencia de la gran devoción que despierta su imagen a los fieles o a un origen incierto a comienzos del siglo XVIII. Gracias a esta investigación se presenta cómo surgió tras un pleito mantenido por la llamada problemática de doble advocaciones a finales del siglo XVII o inicios del XVIII, debiéndose modificar su nombre. Este trabajo se divide en dos partes. Se dedica la primera de ellas a la problemática derivada por las dobles advocaciones en la ciudad de Sevilla y cómo las autoridades eclesiásticas abordaron esta cuestión mostrando algunos ejemplos localizados en el Archivo General del Arzobispado. En un segundo lugar el objetivo es analizar el expediente que aporta concretamente la información concerniente al origen de la advocación del Gran Poder y por qué fue modificada su primera denominación deteniéndonos en aquellos aspectos más reseñables para contextualizar y profundizar en la causa.
Różne teorie części

Mereology is as a theory of collective sets (or mereological sums). It was formulated by the Polish logician Stanisław Leśniewski. Collective sets are wholes composed of parts, and the concept of being a collective set itself can be defined with the help of the concept of being a part. Mereology may therefore be considered as a theory of „the relation of a part to the whole” (from the Greek: μέρος – „part”). Leśniewski’s mereology was an untypical conception, for it differed from the standard formulations. However, it can be reformulated in the language of structure theory. In the paper, firstly, I examine existentially neutral theories, in which one may prove the existence of only those mereological sums that it is possible to obtain exclusively via the definition of and fundamental properties of the concept of being a part. Moreover, I examine some existentially involved theories of parts (Grzegorczykian mereology and Leśniewskian mereology). One of the main principles of mereology is the transitivity of the concept being a part. This property is often called into question in the literature. Finally, I present an analysis without the assumed transitivity.
Czy Historię filozofii Władysława Tatarkiewicza można uznać za dzieło szkoły lwowsko‑warszawskiej?
Authors: Mróz Tomasz
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the paper is to argue for the view that Władysław Tatarkiewicz’s Historia filozofii [History of Philosophy] (1931) cannot be regarded as a work derived from the philosophical tradition of the Lvov‑Warsaw School. Tatarkiewicz was inspired to take up the history of philosophy thanks to his studies in Marburg (1909). When he came into contact with Twardowski and his students, Tatarkiewicz noticed that the history of philosophy was regarded by them as a discipline belonging to the field of history, and was sometimes completely disregarded. The fact that the postulate of order and clarity of language brought Tatarkiewicz closer to Twardowski seems to have been due to Tatarkiewicz’s personal inclinations rather than to Twardowski’s influence on him.

Artificial intelligence has increasingly become an integral part of our daily activities. ChatGPT, a natural language processing technology developed by OpenAI, is widely used in various industries, including healthcare. The application of ChatGPT in healthcare is still evolving, with studies exploring its potential in clinical decision-making, patient education, workflow optimization, and scientific literature. ChatGPT could be exploited in the medical field to improve patient education and information, thus increasing compliance. ChatGPT could facilitate information exchange on major cardiovascular diseases, provide clinical decision support, and improve patient communication and education. It could assist the clinician in differential diagnosis, suggest appropriate imaging modalities, and optimize treatment plans based on evidence-based guidelines. However, it is unclear whether it will be possible to use ChatGPT for the management of patients who require rapid decisions. Indeed, many drawbacks are associated with the daily use of these technologies in the medical field, such as insufficient expertise in specialized fields and a lack of comprehension of the context in which it works. The pros and cons of its use have been explored in this review, which was not written with the help of ChatGPT.
Neutrophil count as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases: how can we manage it?
Authors: De Servi Stefano , Landi Antonio , Gualini Elena , Totaro Rossana , Savonitto Stefano , Leonardi Sergio
Published: September 2024

Neutrophils activation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic plaque formation, progression and rupture. An association between the leukocyte count and the risk of developing myocardial infarction has been well known for many years; however, only recently did Mendelian randomization studies show that a high neutrophil count is a causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, experimental studies show that depletion of circulating neutrophils impairs plaque development. Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet agent, is widely used in combination with aspirin to reduce the incidence of ischemic events in patients treated with coronary stenting. Chronic treatment with this drug reduces inflammatory markers and neutrophil numbers, rarely causing severe leukopenia. The purpose of this review is to present recent evidence showing the link between neutrophil number and the development of cardiovascular diseases and to discuss how the clopidogrel-induced reduction in the neutrophil count may be a beneficial off-target effect of this drug.
Leveraging BIM Technology for Comprehensive Lifecycle Management in Engineering Projects
Authors: Lu Ziyu
Published: September 2024

This research explores the impact of Building Information Modeling (BIM) on engineering project lifecycle management. A mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from surveys and case studies with qualitative insights from interviews, reveals that BIM significantly reduces cost and time overruns. Specifically, projects using BIM showed an average cost overrun of 5% versus 15% in non-BIM projects and a time overrun of 7% compared to 20% in non-BIM projects. Additionally, BIM enhances quality management and improves collaboration among stakeholders, leading to more efficient project execution. The study concludes that BIM is crucial for enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and overall performance in engineering project management. However, adoption challenges, particularly in developing regions, highlight the need for further research and strategies to support broader implementation. BIM’s ability to optimize resources and support informed decision-making makes it a key tool for the future of construction management.
Analysis of the coupling coordination of logistics development level and environmental support system in central China and its spatiotemporal evolution
Authors: Li Pan , Liu Yu
Published: September 2024

This research examines the synchronized progression of regional logistics and environmental support systems in China’s central region. Utilizing a comprehensive evaluation index system, the study employs a combination of entropy methods, TOPSIS analysis, and coupling coordination modeling to assess the development levels of regional logistics and environmental support systems across six central provinces from 2011 to 2020. The analysis focuses on comprehensive scores, coupling coordination degrees, and spatiotemporal evolution characteristics. The results indicate a synergistic relationship between the two systems in the six central provinces, with both comprehensive scores and coupling coordination D values demonstrating consistent growth over time. The study reveals a coordinated and orderly developmental pattern in the coupling and coordination relationship between the six provinces and the two systems within the central region. The overall degree of coupling and coordination in the central region exhibits a well-coordinated status, with provinces ranked as follows: Henan > Anhui and Hubei > Hunan > Shanxi and Jiangxi. This ranking demonstrates a spatial characteristic of high coordination in the middle and lower coordination at both extremities. The research identifies the underdeveloped state of regional logistics as the primary limiting factor. From the notable findings, this study’s conclusions offer valuable insights for policy formulation regarding the coordinated development of regional logistics and environmental support systems in China’s central region.

Published: September 2024

This study delves into the four characteristics of data accessibility across seven APEC countries, identifying key regulatory disparities in utilizing health-related data for medical research, including the potential reuse of health-related data, inconsistencies in anonymization or de-identification standards, and varied legal protection requirements based on the data’s origin. To foster cross-jurisdictional sharing of personal health data and fortify privacy security in China, this paper proposes the following strategies: implementing specialized legislation concerning health-related data, developing a Chinese version of the De-Identification Decision-Making Framework, leveraging advanced cryptographic privacy-preserving techniques in biomedical research, and employing data transfer and usage agreements.
Research on the Hybrid Teaching Model of Piano in Normal Universities Based on “OBE + Politics Integrated Courses”
Authors: Wang Hui
Published: September 2024

Teaching the piano, a vital element of artistic education is essential for developing students’ musical understanding and appreciation of beauty. Yet, conventional methods tend to focus excessively on technical proficiency, neglecting the development of students’ overall qualities. The challenge for educators is to incorporate ideological and political education into specialized courses. Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concentrates on the results of learning, highlighting the development of students’ competencies and the practical application of knowledge, while ideological and political curriculum education stresses the incorporation of ideological and political teaching into professional courses, fostering students’ awareness of social responsibility and historical duty. Based on these two educational concepts, this study designed an innovative piano teaching model and verified its effectiveness through teaching design, implementation, and effectiveness evaluation. Research has found that the experimental group students have significantly improved in basic skills, performance techniques, music understanding, expressiveness, learning attitude, and comprehensive evaluation. Students have a profound understanding of ideological and political education content, demonstrate a high level of interest, and possess the ability to integrate ideological and political education into daily learning.
Thermal-hydraulic analysis of a louver fin-and-tube radiator for a liquid–cooled PEMFC stack system
Authors: Ionescu Viorel
Published: September 2024

The present study aimed to develop a parametric analysis from the perspective of heat transfer and dimensionless pressure drop for a cross-flow heat exchanger with louvered fins and flat tubes. Four different radiator core models were considered here, with specific values of geometrical parameters as selected from the manufacturer’s datasheets. Effectiveness – the NTU (Number of Transfer Units) method was used to evaluate the total heat flux transferred between the cold and hot sides of the radiator. A possible application of the designed louvered fin radiator can be as a part of a liquid–cooling system for an automotive Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) stack with coolant flow rates of 1 l/min and 2 l/min, frontal air velocities up to 14 m/s and inlet temperatures for the coolant and air side of 343 K and 298 K, respectively. One of the radiator models investigated, having the lowest louver pitch to fin pitch ratio, highest fin length to fin pitch ratio and lowest louver length, showed the best thermo–hydraulic performance, with the highest surface goodness factor values along the entire Reynolds number domain.
One size fits most: On the emergence of differentiated regional policy in Poland
Authors: Dąbrowska Anna , Deegan Jason
Published: September 2024

In recent years, Poland has experienced exceptional and consistently high levels of economic growth. An important component of this growth has been the role played by regional policy. However, while Polish regions generally enjoy high levels of autonomy and have received considerable support from the EU, the changing structure and orientation of Polish regional development strategies remains an understudied area. This paper uses recent advances in the field of text mining to identify the similarity of regional strategies to identify whether Polish regions differentiate regional policy in their regional development strategies. Our results indicate that Polish regional development strategies have diverged significantly during the years covered by the two periods studied and that this degree of change appears to be strongly influenced by spatial factors. This increased divergence supports the notion of the greater use of differentiated regional policy in Poland.
Ökologische Zeigerwerte der Gefässpflanzen Österreichs

Ecological indicator values for Austrian vascular plants. Ecological indicator values of plants serve as indirect indicators for the status of ecological parameters in absence of physico-chemical measurements at place. Ellenberg introduced seven parameters which are namely light (L), temperature (T), continentality (K), moisture (F), reaction (R), nutrients (N), and salt (S), to define optima of plant growth under natural conditions along gradients scaled to nine levels. The moisture gradient is even extended to twelve levels and additional codes give information about the tolerance of facultative flooding or seasonal drought. Species that lack distinct optima and are present over a zone of more than four levels of the respective gradients are called indifferent (i). Plants that show optima situated towards both ends of the scale for parameters F and R are classified as bimodal (b) for the first time in national records of indicator values. Broad amplitudes and indistinct optima of species presences along the scales are not indicated separately due to the lack of available data. For 4902 vascular plants we provide indicator values that are valid for the Republic of Austria (holds for L, T, F, R, N, S). The values for continentality (K) consider the whole distribution area of the species. Comparisons with indicator value systems from neighboring countries show some shifts in the number of species assigned to the indicator levels but the histograms do not differ very much. Apparently, such shifts depend on the length of the ecological gradients available in the respective region but also on the regional pool of species and subspecific ecotypes.
