У сучасних діагностично-лікувальних протоколах проведення дентальної імплантації акцентується увага на врахуванні як морфологічних, так і функціональних факторів для досягнення довготривалої клінічної результативності цієї технології лікування. Відсутність забезпечення функціонально орієнтованого позиціонування дентальних імплантатів (ДІ) і протезних конструкцій призводить у клінічній практиці до частих ускладнень при хірургічних втручаннях, які важко піддаються корекції, а результати застосованого протезування негативно змінюють функціональну витривалість периімплантного тканинного оточення з ранньою експлантацією ДІ. З огляду на це багато зусиль фахівців спрямовано на експериментальне дослідження особливостей розподілу функціонального навантаження ДІ в оточуючій кістковій тканині зі спробою екстраполяції отриманих даних у клінічну практику для оптимізації розташування застосовуваних при цьому протезних конструкцій. Проведені дослідження дисфункціонального впливу навантаження в ділянках похилих площин оклюзійних поверхонь протезних конструкцій довели зростання концентрованої горизонтальної складової навантаження ДІ, внаслідок чого збільшуються компресійні та розтягуючі деформаційні сили, які спричинюють резорбцію альвеолярної кісткової тканини щелеп. Встановлено, що підвищення векторів бічних навантажень на межі кістка-імплантат виникає при імплантації безпосередньо після видалення зубів. При цьому репарація кісткової тканини призводить до втрати маргінального рівня і. У результаті цього коронки на ДІ виготовляються більшими за коронки наявних зубів, що вторинно може зумовити зростання шкідливого впливу деформаційних векторів. У зв’язку з наявністю контраверсійних тлумачень щодо результатів тривалого впливу функціонального навантаження ДІ на стан інтерфейсу периімплантних тканин констатується необхідність проведення сучасного експериментального морфологічного, рентгенографічного та гістоморфометричного аналізу показників інтерфейсу ДІ, розташованих в аксіальному та парааксіальному положеннях по периметру контакту з оточуючою кісткою.

В умовах невизначеності, зумовленими, перш за все, військовою агресією росії та введенням військового стану, система фінансово-економічної безпеки суб’єктів господарювання є одним з головних елементів стратегічного управління. Необхідність вирішення проблем, з якими зіткнулися вітчизняні підприємства внаслідок кризи, актуалізувала питання оцінки фінансового стану, одним з головних індикаторів якого є фінансова стійкість підприємств. Тому у статті розглянуто теоретичні підходи до визначення поняття “фінансова стійкість підприємств”, виокремлено сутність категорії та значення для підприємств. Побудовано організаційну модель аналізу фінансової стійкості. Узагальнено негативні фактори впливу на фінансову стійкість підприємств. Проведено аналіз фінансової стійкості підприємств України за 2013–2022 рр., а саме проаналізовано динаміку основних показників фінансової стійкості, таких як коефіцієнт автономії, довгострокового залучення позикових коштів, короткострокової заборгованості. За результатами проведеного аналізу виявлено, що для підприємств України характерний низький рівень фінансової стійкості. Визначено пріоритетні завдання господарюючих суб’єктів для збереження фінансової стійкості в умовах військового стану.
МІНІМІЗАЦІЯ РИЗИКІВ ДОГОВІРНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ ПРИ УКЛАДАННІ ЗЕД-КОНТРАКТІВ

Published: March 2024

В умовах постійних ризиків, з якими зіткнулися підприємства, договір є основним юридичним актом, з якого випливають зобов’язання сторін. Чинне законодавство не містить чітких вимог щодо умов, які мають бути відображені у зовнішньоекономічних договорах. Також не існує затвердженої форми таких договорів. Тому у статті узагальнено основні розділи ЗЕД-контракту, а також особливості, які необхідно врахувати на стадії укладання договорів. Систематизовано шляхи мінімізації ризиків договірної політики: виважений підхід до вибору іноземного контрагента, визначення умов взаємних зобов'язань за ЗЕД-контрактом, перевірка контрагентів на їх добросовісність перед вже існуючими партнерами, оцінка ризиків його невиконання тощо. Наведені рекомендації щодо ведення договірної політики суб’єктів підприємництва у сфері ЗЕД не є повними, але можуть стати в нагоді для забезпечення виконання умов договорів з іноземними контрагентами та запобігання ризикам виникнення спорів.
КОНЦЕПЦІЯ ЕЛЕКТРОННОЇ ТОРГІВЛІ В СУЧАСНІЙ МІЖНАРОДНІЙ ЕКОНОМІЧНІЙ НАУЦІ
Authors: Якоб Є.Й.
Published: March 2024

У статті досліджується концепція електронної торгівлі в сучасній міжнародній економічній науці. Ідентифіковано, що електронна торгівля виступає додатковим посилюючим фактором глобалізації світового ринку. Визначено, що в основі процесу прийняття рішень споживачами лежать три різні етапи: пошук інформації, порівняння альтернатив, остаточний вибір на основі обміну інформацією. Подано різні визначення понять «електронна торгівля», «електронна комерція», «цифрова торгівля». Зроблено висновок, що електронна торгівля знижує торговельні бар’єри, дозволяючи навіть менш продуктивним підприємствам займатися експортом, при цьому інформація та дані стають важливим фактором виробництва, що потребує перегляду традиційних поглядів на роль капіталу та праці. Епоха цифрової торгівлі стосується не лише розвитку торгових операцій здійснених в цифровий спосіб, але й торгівлі з використанням глобальних ланцюгів створення вартості.
emigrations of Prophet Ibrahim Khalil (peace be upon him) in the Holy Quran and the Torah
Authors: Jasim Dr.Jawad Kazem
Published: March 2024

The migration of the prophets in the Holy Quran and the Torah holds significant and extensive importance in the movement of history because they had a great and direct influence on history throughout the ages. Through their numerous migrations, they played an important and influential role in the course of human civilization. Migration, like social matters, can be for good or for evil. A person may migrate to achieve legitimate or illegitimate goals, or for immediate or temporary interests. One may migrate for a noble purpose such as preserving religion or guiding people, which is emphasized by multiple Quranic verses. The study of the migrations of the Prophet Abraham as a model to the places he migrated to for the purpose of spreading his heavenly message is important, despite the scarcity of information about the migrations of the prophets and the lack of ancient historical studies specialized in archaeology concerning the reports about the migrations of the prophets. These studies often rely on narrative reports, some of which are tainted with myths and Israelite stories, and include forgeries of some historical facts.
Effect of Strawberry Juice (Fragaria Ananassa) on Mechanical Properties of Nanofilled Composite Resins
Authors: Kusnadi Stephanie Justine , Margaretta Dewi Liliany , Tjandrawinata Rosalina
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Nanofilled composite resins have small filler particles size (1-100 nm). Its mechanical properties consist of hardness, surface roughness, and water absorption. Composite resins easily degraded by acid pH because it contains polymer with unstable bonds. Degradation can cause water absorption. It can be scratched more easily if they have low hardness. Rough surfaces can cause the risk of plaque formation, secondary caries, discoloration, damage to the surface of the patch, reduces resistance, accelerates abrasion, and can cause irritation to the surrounding soft tissue. Objective: To analyze the effect of mechanical properties (water absorption, hardness, and surface roughness) on nanofilled composite resins after strawberry juice (Fragaria ananassa) immersion. Methods: This research was a laboratory experimental with post-test and control group design. Forty cylindrical samples of nanofilled composite resins Filtek Z350XT (3M ESPE) (10mm x 2 mm) were divided into four groups: water absorption group, hardness tested group, surface roughness tested group, and control group. Surface roughness tested group and hardness tested group were immersed in strawberry juice each 10 mL for 2 hours a day and repeated for 12 days. After 10 and 12 days of immersion, hardness tested group, surface roughness tested group, and control group will be measured using surface roughness test and hardness test. Water absorption test will be carried out before immersion and after 10 and 12 days of immersion. Results: One Way ANOVA statistical test on surface roughness test showed a p-value of 0.001 (p<0.05) and the water absorption test show a p-value of 0.983 (p>0.05). Post Hoc Tukey test had significant difference of roughness tested on day 12 and control group with a p-value of 0.01 (p<0.05). Conclusions: Strawberry juice increases surface roughness of nanofilled composite resins after 2 hours immersion for 12 days in comparison with control group.
Incomplete lineage sorting and hybridization as drivers of tree discordance in Petunia and related genera (Petunieae, Solanaceae)
Authors: Pezzi Pedro , Wheeler Lucas , Freitas Loreta , Smith Stacey
Published: March 2024

Despite the overarching history of species divergence, phylogenetic studies often reveal distinct topologies across regions of the genome. The sources of these gene tree discordances are variable, but incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and hybridization are among those with the most significant biological importance. Petunia serves as a classic system for studying hybridization in the wild. While field studies suggest that hybridization is frequent, the extent of reticulation within Petunia and its closely related genera has never been examined from a phylogenetic perspective. In this study, we used transcriptomic data from 11 Petunia, 16 Calibrachoa, and 10 Fabiana species to illuminate the relationships between these species and investigate whether hybridization played a significant role in the diversification of the clade. We identified that tree discordance within genera can be explained by high levels of ILS due to their rapid diversification and hybridization events. Moreover, network analyses indicated hybridization between Petunia and Calibrachoa, genera that have different chromosome numbers. Although these genera cannot hybridize at the present time, ancestral hybridization could have played a role in their parallel radiations, as they share the same habitat and life history.
Cladistic species definitions can lead to under-representation of biodiversity from adaptive radiations.
Authors: Turner George
Published: March 2024

Many species are paraphyletic, but current taxonomic practices often do not recognise this, and attempts are made to apply a monophyletic species concept. While allowing the recognition of ecomorphologically equivalent, or even phenotypically indistinguishable allopatric taxa as species, this often leads to combining distinctive local forms (such as cave-adapted populations) or even whole adaptive radiations (often in lakes) with widespread paraphyletic species to force species monophyly. It is suggested that this has negative consequences for our documentation and understanding of biodiversity
Children adjust behavior in novel social environments to reflect local cooperative norms inferred from brief exposure
Authors: Schroeder Kari Britt , Blake Peter , Darling Laura
Published: March 2024

Stark intergroup variation in prosocial behavior, as elicited with economic experiments, is evident even though humans are highly mobile. Conformity to local norms has been posited to play an integral role in the maintenance of this variation. Experiments suggest that adults indeed rapidly infer pro- and antisocial norms in a new or changed social environment and adjust their behavior to reflect the inferred norms. Studies of the ontogeny of prosocial behavior show that by middle childhood, children’s prosocial behavior conforms to that of local adults. Furthermore, by this stage, children are susceptible to the manipulation of explicit normative information. However, as yet unknown is whether children concomitantly have the propensity to 1) rapidly infer local cooperative norms in a novel, realistic social environment, 2) extend these inferences to norms for unobserved behaviors, and 3) apply the inferred norms in the same environment. Here, we used a slideshow to introduce children (age nine to eleven) to a novel social environment, Neighborhood X, which differed by condition (Prosocial or Antisocial). We measured perceived cooperative norms in children’s Own Neighborhood and in Neighborhood X via questionnaires; norms for Neighborhood X diverged drastically dependent upon condition, a result robust to the exclusion of questions about norms for unobserved behaviors. Children’s perceived cooperative norms in Own Neighborhood predicted their prosocial behavior (Dictator Game) in Own Neighborhood. Moreover, even though information about giving behavior was not presented in the slideshow, inferred norms for Neighborhood X predicted children’s prosocial behavior in the same milieu. Changes from baseline prosocial behavior, as measured with a separate helping task, did not extend beyond Neighborhood X. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that humans have a propensity to rapidly infer and conform to local cooperative norms, thus maintaining group differences in prosocial behavior, and further indicate that this propensity is in operation by middle childhood.

Social-ecological systems like fisheries provide food, livelihoods, and recreation. However, lack of data and its integration into governance hinders their conservation and management. Stakeholders possess site-specific knowledge crucial for confronting these challenges. There is increasing recognition that Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) is valuable, but structural differences between ILK and quantitative archetypes have stalled the assimilation of ILK into fisheries management, despite acknowledged bias and uncertainty in scientific methods. Conducting a systematic review of fisheries-associated ILK research (n = 397 articles), we examined how ILK is accessed, is applied, is distributed across space and species, and has evolved. We show that ILK has generated qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative information for diverse taxa across 98 countries. Fisheries-associated ILK research mostly targets small-scale and artisanal fishers (70% of studies), and typically uses semi-structured interviews (60%). We revealed large variability in sample size (n = 4 – 7638), predicted by the approach employed, and the data generated (i.e., qualitative studies target smaller groups). Using thematic categorisation, we show that scientists are still exploring techniques, or ‘validating’ ILK through comparisons with quantitative scientific data (20%), and recording qualitative information of what fishers understand (40%). A few researchers are applying quantitative social science methods to derive trends in abundance, catch, and effort. Such approaches facilitate recognition of local insight in fisheries management, but fall short of accepting ILK as a valid complementary way of knowing about fisheries systems. This synthesis reveals that development and increased opportunities are needed to bridge ILK and quantitative scientific data.

Published: March 2024

This study examines the impact of natural capital accounting on profitability of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria and it adopts correlational research design. The population of the study consists of sixty-four manufacturing firms listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) for thirteen years between 2010- 2022. The study used the purposive sampling method, to obtain a sample of forty-nine manufacturing firms that meet the criteria. Return on Asset (ROA) is considered as proxy of profitability while natural capital accounting index (scores) were generated using 7 items in line with International Initiative on Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC). Data for the study was extracted from the annual reports and accounts of the sampled firms for the period under study, and analyzed using multiple regressions. The result revealed that natural capital accounting has significant and positive effect on return on asset (ROA). Based on these findings, this study therefore, concludes that natural capital accounting influence profitability of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. This study recommends among others that, listed Nigerian manufacturing firms should emphasize more on reporting their natural capital accounting as it is capable of improving their profitability. This can be achieved through proper and accurate reporting of their environmental information, because it affects profitability significantly. Also, in line with global best practices, regulatory agencies in Nigeria should issue reporting standards that would make reporting of all sustainable capital items and particularly environment/natural capital accounting mandatory.
Identification of Vortex Information. Detection of fake news eruption time
Authors: Gogołek Włodzimierz
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a procedure known as the Information Vortex Indicator (IVI) for its effectiveness, designed to detect the timing of information vortex formation in textual data streams. Research has established that the formation of this vortex coincides with the onset of the dissemination of fake news (FN) concerning a particular object (such as a person, organization, company, event, etc.). The primary aim of this detection is to minimize the time required for an appropriate response or defense against the adverse effects of information turbulence caused by the spread of fake news. Methodology: The study used Big Data information resources analysis instruments (Gogołek, 2019, 2022), including selected statistical and artificial intelligence techniques and tools, to automatically detect vortex occurrence in real time. Experimental validation of the efficacy of these tools has been conducted, enabling a reliable assessment of the timing of vortex emergence. This assessment is quantified using the V-function, procedure, or test, which formally describes the IVI procedure. The V-function’s parameters are derived from the distribution patterns of letter pair clusters within the textual information stream. Conclusions: A comparison of manual (reference) and automatic detection of vortex emergence times confirmed an accuracy rate of over 80% in detecting the appearance of fake news. These results underscore the effectiveness of the IVI procedure and the utility of the selected tools for rapidly automating the detection of information vortices, which herald the propagation of fake news. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the applicability of IVI for the continuous monitoring of information with significant media value across multiple multilingual data streams. Originality: This research introduces a novel approach utilizing the distribution of letter pair clusters within information streams to detect the onset of information vortices, coinciding with the emergence of fake news. This methodology represents a unique contribution to the field, as prior research on this subject is limited.

Thus, translation is also one of the four skills of mastering the English language, in addition to listening, speaking, reading and writing, translation also has a main function. The purpose of this work was to find out if students are committed to translating an English text, to describe the method used by students in translating an English text, to observe the ability of the students to translate an English text. Therefore, this study seemed very suitable for a case study because it tried to explore and explore student strategies in one class of 23 students. In this study, the researcher administered the test to students. In the test technique, the researcher gave an English text and asked the students to translate the English text as best as possible. There are four criteria to evaluate a student's translation, they are accuracy of message content, distinctiveness of message, appropriateness of language use and lastly mechanical appropriateness. The researcher also interviewed the translation teacher who was considered a key informant who really knew how far the student's ability to translate an English text was. The result of the interview was given to the teacher; showed that the students of the 4th semester still had many difficulties, they used only one technique for translation. In particular, these words are rarely found in English textbooks. In addition, the lecturer must be creative to find a suitable translation method for the students of the 4th semester to translate the English text into Indonesian, also the lecturer always motivates the students to understand the text by translating the source language into their target language. Right in Indonesian. At the same time, the students also needed a longer time to practice the translation of the text from the English text to the Indonesian language, because they do not have the right method to translate the English text and the lack of vocabulary, although the lecturer. Had already practiced the practice of the English text, but it was not enough to interest the students in practicing the translation of the English text.

Published: March 2024

Рассмотрена методика оценки потенциальных резервов жилищного строительства, основанная на сопоставлении предельных показателей для каждой территориальной подзоны и характеристик градостроительного развития территории. Для описания динамики градостроительного развития территории применяются показатели, характеризующие фонд недвижимости, объекты капитального строительства, запланированные к вводу, а также подлежащие сносу объекты. Оценка потенциала подзон осуществлялась по трем вариантам: с учетом объектов с действующими разрешениями на строительство, с учетом общей площади планируемых к вводу в 2023-2026 гг. объектов (с действующими разрешениями на строительство и без них), из числа запланированных к вводу по городским программам, а также с учетом общей площади всех планируемых к вводу с 2023 г. объектов капитального строительства из адресного перечня, включая не только объекты без разрешения на строительство, но и здания, у которых не установлен планируемый год ввода.
