Published: December 2024

One of the parts of manufacturing science is Shilded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). This type of welding is most widely used in the industrial world because almost all steel can be welded or joined using Shilded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). Because of the importance of strong and quality welding results, it is necessary to carry out research. This research was carried out with tensile tests on welded specimens with the aim of determining the mechanical properties of SS 304 steel in Shilded Metal Arc Welding using NSN 308 electrodes, welding current of 100 Ampere, distance between seams of 2 mm and distance between the anode and the base material of 0.5 mm. , 1 mm, 1.5 mm and 2 mm. From the discussion of the data it can be concluded that welding with a distance of 0.5 to 1 mm is more perfect and the weld results are more unified in the HAZ area and can be seen in the tensile test results of 652.11 N/mm, yield stress of 854.29 N/mm and strain 27%. Meanwhile, the distance between the anode and the base material of 1.5 to 2 mm is less able to fill the weld area and can be seen from the tensile test results of 362.95 N/mm, yield stress of 563 N/mm and strain of 16%. Thus, the position of the welding distance between the base material and the electrode is very influential in determining good and tough weld results.

Authors: Sofri Tasneem , Ramli Nur Hidayah , Jaafar Haryati
Published: December 2024

In this era of globalization, water leakage significantly contributes to water waste and can adversely affect the environment if left unchecked. Much water is wasted due to unsupervised and poorly managed actions. The primary objective of leak detection is to locate leaks and measure their dimensions in secured products and systems. The process begins with hardware development, which is crucial for obtaining raw data by measuring water flow velocity at specific crack locations. Software-based methods use computer systems to monitor pressure and flow rate data to detect leaks continuously. This involves converting the velocity data into audio frequency signals. The gathered signals are then processed in MATLAB, a high-performance technical computing software, through four phases: segmentation, pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification, with Internet of Things (IoT) features integrated. Finally, the data is analyzed using the k Nearest Neighbour (kNN) classifier for classification.

Authors: Altın Esma
Published: December 2024

Uluslararası çapta tanınmış ve geniş okur kitlesine sahip çağdaş Japon yazarı Haruki Murakami, 1979’da yayımladığı ilk romanı Rüzgârın Şarkısını Dinle ile edebiyat camiası ve okurların ilgisini çekmiştir. Bu ilk romanı ardından yazdığı her bir romanla bu ilgiyi katlamıştır. Murakami aynı zamanda Japon edebiyat geleneğini aşan anlatım tarzıyla da eleştirilmiş bir yazardır. Böylelikle yazarın dikkat çeken romanları üzerine çalışmalar da artış göstermiştir. Murakami büyülü gerçekçi yazar olarak kabul edilmektedir. Büyülü gerçekçi yazar olarak kabul edilen ve romanları üzerine çalışmalar yapılan Türk yazar Latife Tekin ise 1983’te yayımladığı ilk romanı Sevgili Arsız Ölüm ile benzer ilgiyi yakalamıştır. Ancak Tekin’in romanlarında büyülü gerçekçi anlatım tarzı üzerine Türkiye’de yapılan çalışmalar Gabriel García Márquez ve Angela Carter’ın anlatım tarzıyla kıyaslanmasıyla sınırlı kalmıştır.
Murakami’nin büyülü gerçekçi anlatım tarzını detaylıca ele alan çalışmalar yurdumuzda olduğu kadar dünyada da yok denecek kadar azdır. Bu çalışmada Murakami’nin Sahilde Kafka ve Tekin’in Sevgili Arsız Ölüm başlıklı romanları Wendy B. Faris’in büyülü gerçekçi metinlerin niteliklerini kapsayıcı şekilde açıkladığı teorisi kapsamında ele alınarak karşılaştırılacaktır.

THE IMPACT OF CULTURAL FACTORS ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOR: A HOLISTIC MODEL FOR ADAPTIVE MARKETING APPROACHES
Authors: RACHWAL-MUELLER A. , FEDOTOVA I.
Published: December 2024

The influence of cultural factors on consumer behavior is profound and encompasses a myriad of dimensions, ranging from fundamental cultural constructs, such as Hofstede's model, to specific components including language, religion, and material culture. In the face of globalization, which often promotes the homogenization of consumer preferences, cultural diversity remains a critical determinant in shaping brand perceptions and influencing purchasing decisions. This study delineates eight categories of cultural factors, encompassing values and beliefs, religious and moral principles, language and communication styles, material culture, aesthetics, education and knowledge systems, social institutions and organizations, as well as the dynamic interplay between globalization and local culture. These factors are systematically categorized into internal and external characteristics, underscoring the complex and multifaceted nature of cultural influences on the decision-making process. The research findings underscore the necessity for marketing strategies that are attuned to these cultural distinctions, thereby enhancing brand relevance across diverse markets. A nuanced understanding of these variances enables marketers to craft tailored approaches that resonate with consumers' cultural contexts, thereby optimizing engagement. To encapsulate the insights derived from this investigation, a theoretical framework illustrating the interrelations among the identified cultural factors influencing consumer behavior has been constructed. This comprehensive model offers a holistic perspective on how culture shapes consumer behavior, accentuating the intricate interconnections among various cultural elements. The findings indicate that marketing strategies must be inherently sensitive to cultural differences to effectively enhance brand relevance across multifarious markets. The insights garnered from this study contribute to the theoretical discourse on cultural influences in consumer behavior and pave the way for future research initiatives. An in-depth understanding of the dynamics of cultural diversity empowers organizations to formulate adaptive strategies that align with the expectations of diverse consumer segments. This strategic alignment not only fosters the development of more impactful marketing campaigns but also enhances brand loyalty and drives sales within the global marketplace.
INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO THE DIGITALISATION OF LOGISTICS PROCESSES OF ROAD TRANSPORT COMPANIES
Authors: KRYVENKO L.
Published: December 2024

In today's dynamic marketplace, where requirements for speed, accuracy and transparency of logistics operations are increasing, traditional methods of managing a road trans­port company and transportation do not provide the necessary level of control and efficiency. One of the key areas for improving the efficiency of road transport companies and logistics organisa­tions is the development of digital technologies and their integration into logistics and management processes. The introduction of digital technologies helps automate processes and reduce risks; real-time monitoring systems provide greater visibility at all stages of the supply chain.
Despite the considerable interest of scientists in the development and implementation of digital solutions for logistics, there are still a number of unresolved issues, namely, insufficient attention is paid to integrated solutions that would combine functionality for all participants in the logistics process: from logisticians and drivers to customers; the issues of integrating digital sys­tems with existing platforms for managing a road transport enterprise are not sufficiently covered.
The article proposes innovative solutions for automating logistics processes, including the development of digital tools for road transport enterprises, which became the basis for the imple­mentation of the logistics application "International cargo delivery". The application is integrated with road transport management software and monitoring systems such as Volvo Connect, Tele­track, Ruptela and TermoKing. This allows for real-time monitoring of the performance of flights and improves the quality of customer service. This application helps to improve the efficiency of freight management. The integration of the automated logistics application International Cargo Delivery brings significant benefits to all participants in the transport management process. The application provides opportunities for online monitoring, order forecasting, providing drivers with additional information, and allows management to control processes.
The implementation of such digital solutions will allow road transport companies to be integrated into global logistics systems, which will open up new markets and opportunities for cooperation with international partners.
COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF ENTERPRISE LOGISTICS ACTIVITIES IN THE MODERN MARKET CONDITIONS
Authors: VELYCHKO Ya.
Published: December 2024

The article addresses the issues of evaluating the performance of enterprise logistics activities in the context of modern globalization and increasing competition. Effective management of logistics processes is a key condition for ensuring sustainable development and competitiveness of an enterprise. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to evaluating logistics operations, considering not only financial indicators but also resources, costs, outcomes, and customer service levels. The analysis of modern evaluation methodologies highlights their advantages and disadvantages when applied to logistics management. Although these methodologies have significant potential for improving logistics processes, they do not always provide an integrated analysis of all aspects of activity, which limits their effectiveness in strategic decision-making.
The methodology for comprehensive evaluation of the performance of enterprise logistics activities proposed in the article is based on a multi-level approach, which includes the calculation of local, block, and integrated indicators. This methodology allows for a thorough analysis of logistics processes, considering the relationships between costs, resources, and final results, and provides the flexibility to respond to changes in market conditions. An important component of the proposed approach is the ranking of indicators, which enables the assessment of their impact on the overall efficiency of logistics processes and identifies key areas for optimization. By forming a performance matrix, the enterprise can build a structured evaluation system that ensures an integrated analysis of both financial and non-financial indicators.
Special attention in the study is paid to the calculation of the integrated performance indicator of logistics activities, which serves as a general characteristic of the efficiency of the enterprise’s logistics processes. It is calculated as the geometric mean of block indicators, providing a weighted assessment of the influence of different aspects of logistics activities on the overall outcome. The interpretation of this indicator allows enterprise management to make informed decisions aimed at optimizing costs, improving customer service quality, and efficiently utilizing resources.
The proposed approach is flexible and can be adapted to the specifics of various enterprises and industries, making it a universal tool for evaluating logistics processes in modern market conditions. The study results demonstrate that the application of the comprehensive methodology for evaluating the performance of logistics activities contributes to improved logistics management, resource optimization, and strengthening the enterprise’s competitive position in the market.

Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of strategic management in increasing the efficiency and quality of logistics organizational structures. The article considers the classification of management decisions to ensure the effective operation of logistics providers, analyzes the essence of strategic management of organizations, features of corporate strategy, business strategy, and functional strategies. The reasons that make it difficult to transfer the logistics development strategy to lower levels of management have been identified. Theoretical approaches to the process of implementing logistics management strategies in organizational structures are proposed. It was determined that the key idea of the supply chain concept is the transition from functional management to management of cross-functional business processes. The advantages of strategically oriented organizations are highlighted, and it is also substantiated that a balanced system of indicators is effective for solving the problem of related business strategies and directions with the establishment of goals for the efficiency of logistics organizational structures. The four key processes that the Balanced Scorecard relies on to link short-term actions to long-term goals are described. Modern trends in changes in management styles from the management practices of advanced logistics providers are analyzed. The mechanism of application of the Deming cycle and reengineering of business processes is substantiated. It has been proven that effective implementation of the concept of strategic management of the logistics organizational structure is possible only when the organization is strategically oriented.
EVALUATION OF THE INNOVATION POSITION OF MOTOR TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES AND DIRECTIONS FOR ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES
Authors: VELYCHKO Ya. , TEREKHINA D.
Published: December 2024

The article explores the innovation position of motor transport enterprises amidst modern challenges, particularly the unstable economic situation, the destruction of transport infra­structure, and the security threats associated with the war in Ukraine. The focus is on developing a comprehensive approach to evaluating the innovation position of enterprises, enabling them to assess their capacity for implementing innovative solutions and identifying the necessary organizational changes. The proposed approach encompasses both internal enterprise resources (innovation potential) and the external conditions in which it operates (innovation climate).
The innovation potential of an enterprise is assessed through six main blocks: product-service, functional, resource, organizational, managerial, and security. Each block includes key indicators that reflect the enterprise’s readiness to implement innovative projects. The identified indicators are evaluated using a five-point scale, taking into account minimum and maximum values based on statistical data and industry standards. A weighted sum method is used to obtain weighted scores for each indicator, considering the significance of each one.
The innovation climate of the enterprise covers the environment of direct and indirect influence. Factors of direct influence include customers, competitors, suppliers, and partners, while the macro environment involves economic, political, technological, social, and natural-geographical factors. Key indicators that reflect the favorability of the external environment for innovation activities are also used to assess the innovation climate.
Based on the evaluation of the innovation potential and climate, a matrix of the enterprise’s innovation position is proposed, which allows for determining the level of necessity for organizatio­nal changes. The matrix shows the relationship between the level of internal resources and external conditions affecting innovation activities. The results of the matrix evaluation help to select development strategies that take into account both internal capabilities and external challenges.
The proposed approach enables motor transport enterprises to objectively assess their innovation position, identify strengths and weaknesses in implementing innovations, and make effective management decisions regarding organizational changes. This is particularly relevant in times of instability and rapid changes in the external environment, where enterprises must quickly adapt and implement innovative strategies to maintain competitiveness and enhance operational efficiency.
ABNORMALITY IN THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT: CAUSES OF OCCURRENCE AND WAYS OF PREVENTING A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE ORGANIZATION
Authors: HETMAN O. , KRYVORUCHKO H.
Published: December 2024

It is known that the uncertainty of the external environment increases the proba­bility of the risk of strategy failure, so the organization determines it by analyzing the level of influence of external environmental factors of direct and indirect action. It is also known that the fact that the company's structure simultaneously meets the level of dynamism and complexity of the external environment is sometimes not taken into account by its management. The article provides an answer to the question: do we always have the opportunity to predict an anomalous event in the future when calculating the level of complexity and dynamism of the environment? That is why the goal of the article was to form an approach to the transformation of the enterprise in order to minimize the negative impact of anomalies in the external environment on the organization's activities.
The article notes how it is possible to predict the future, based on knowledge of the past and how it is possible to determine the properties of the unknown on the basis of the known, attention is drawn to the fact that we are brought closer to the truth by the negative, and not only by confirming the facts, the emphasis is on the fact that it is necessary to study not only the causes and nature of success, but also failure. The article concludes that the determination of the influence of external environmental factors by the method of expert evaluations is the basis for solving the specified scientific task, as the possibility of using a genetic approach to forecast the further development of the organization and determining the relevant main design parameters depending on the level is indicated influence of this environment. It is also noted that the organization must respond in time to changes in the external environment and change the configuration in accordance with the levels of influence of factors of complexity and dynamism. In addition, attention is focused on the impossibility of the appearance of the Black Swan in the context of its exclusivity, power of influence and only retrospective predictability.
The approach specified in the article provides an opportunity not only to change the structure of the enterprise in a timely manner in accordance with the conditions of the external environment and to prevent strategic fires, but, unlike existing approaches, it provides an opportunity to respond in time to the abnormality of the external environment thanks to the study of the past in the context of repeatability and non-repeatability of facts, careful analysis of hidden evidence and based on them, the formation of forecasts, taking into account the appearance of anomalies in the external environment.
FUNCTIONAL CONFLICT AS A CONDITION FOR TIMELY CHANGE IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE ENTERPRISE
Authors: HETMAN O.
Published: December 2024

Any process of transformation of the organizational structure has a driving force. One such force is functional conflict. In this context, it is important to manage the conflict so that the transformation of the structure is positive for the enterprise as a whole, and does not serve the interests of one of its constituent parts, since the main reason that drives a person in the desire to improve their situation, to raise their social status, is to distinguish themselves, to draw attention to oneself, to cause approval, praise, sympathy, or to benefit from them, while it should also be noted that the only force capable of restraining individual selfishness is the force of the group; the only force capable of restraining the selfishness of a group is the force of another that embraces their group." The conflict has meaning and confirms itself as a real conflict only to the extent that the actors, each from their side, seek to control the area of their interaction. This article examines the issue of managing functional conflicts between key parts of the organization during the transformation of its organizational structure, taking into account that the goal of the study is the formation of a functional conflict model as a condition for a timely change in the organization's structure. The basis of the model is the transformational transition of systems from an unbalanced state to a balanced one (the transformation of the negative relationship between the main part of the existing configuration and transformations into the planned form into a positive one) by transforming the negative cycle into a positive one, the total weight of which makes it possible to change the negative relationship between the basic values on a positive.
The developed dynamic model of managing functional conflicts between enterprise components in the process of transforming the enterprise structure differs from the existing ones in that it determines the use of a dynamic conflict system, which consists of an equilibrium cycle (digraph) and an unbalanced cycle (digraph), and further transforms the conflict system into a conflict-free one, which accelerates the process of transformation of the enterprise's organizational structure and ensures a transition to a qualitatively new level.

Authors: Purwanto Kokok Djoko , Gunawan Wawan , Syihabuddin Syihabuddin
Published: December 2024

Discourse is frequently understood as the largest and most complete unit of language structure, structurally, it means that discourse is part of a series of language components. It is defined and viewed from many different perspectives, ranging from a very linguistic- oriented to a political- one. This perspective discourse has been analyzed for its role in expressing ideologies, power, dominance, inequality, and bias (Van Dijk, 1998). In Linguistics, discourse has also been viewed from different perspectives, referring to other types of languages used in various sorts of social situation such as newspaper discourse, advertising discourse, classroom discourse, and the discourse of medical consultation (Fairclough, 1992:3). This study focuses on lecturer’s politeness, speech acts and cooperative principles in the classroom. It will also bring to a broad band of disciplined questioning of the ways in which power works through the discursive practices and performances in schooling and lecturing. The research method applied in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach based on the transcription among models of classroom discourse- the Sinclair and Coultrhard (1975) model, performative utterances from J.L Austin, Roger Searle, and pragmatics from George Yule was selected as a sign post of this classroom on discourse analysis. All the data were analyzed in the form of a description. As the result of this study, observing classes, finding out some information from students, then applying the use of interaction- scheme undoubtedly results in a much better understanding of classroom aims and events, particularly in terms of lecturer talking and behaving to the students and classroom activities.

The purpose of the research is to study acute oral and dermal toxicity parameters of a drug based on D-cyphenothrin, pyriproxyfen and piperonyl butoxide in laboratory animals.Materials and methods. The study insectoacaricidal drug contains D-cyphenothrin, pyriproxyfen, piperonyl butoxide, hydrogenated castor oil and isopropyl alcohol. The acute toxicity parameters of the drug in 5% solution formulation were studied on 50 white outbred male mice when administered intragastrically, and on 42 outbred male rats when administered orally and on skin. The acute toxicity parameters were calculated using the Litchfield and Wilcoxon method as modified by Z. Rotha, and the drug exposure value on the body was evaluated as per the established classification (GOST 12.1.007). Results and discussion. The following toxicological characteristics were obtained: LD50 of the study drug administered orally to the white mice was 2,656 (2,207.8÷3,187.2) mg/kg, and the white rats, 5,063 (4482÷5818.3) mg/kg. The maximum tolerated dose of the drug was 830 mg/kg for the mice, and 2,075 mg/kg for the rats. Based on the obtained LD50 values, the three-component insectoacaricide can be classified as hazard category 3 (moderately hazardous substances) in experiments on mice, and hazard category 4 (marginally hazardous substances) on rats pursuant to the established hygienic classification. At the same time, different species sensitivity to the drug can be observed in mice and rats. LD50 was more than 30,710 mg/kg in the study of dermal toxicity on the white rats, therefore the drug can be classified as hazard category 4.

Earth and Environmental Data Science (EDS) is a rapidly growing field that combines the earth and environmental sciences with statistics and computational methods to analyze large, complex datasets. Despite the availability of vast amounts of environmental data, there is a significant gap in the available skillsets of domain researchers and scientists, limiting their effective use of these data. Earth Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) addresses this need through initiatives that include the Earth Data Analytics (EDA) Foundations Professional Certificate program, which emphasizes tools that contribute to open science such as Python, GitHub, and Jupyter Notebooks. Managed in collaboration with the Department of Geography at CU, this continuing education program provides essential training in spatial data analytics and open science workflows through project-based learning. This study uses a mixed methods approach to investigate the impact of the EDA certificate program on students' data analytics skills, providing insights into this EDS education model, which emphasizes open science and reproducible workflows, and enhances participants' capabilities to tackle environmental challenges.

Clinical trials for rare diseases pose unique challenges warranting alternative approaches in demonstrating treatment efficacy. Such trials face challenges including small patient populations, variable onset of symptoms and rate of disease progression, and ethical considerations, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we present the retrospective clinical global impression (RCGI) severity and change (RCGI-S/C) scale on 27 patients with GM1 gangliosidosis, a post hoc clinician-rated outcome measure to evaluate natural history study participants as historical controls for comparisons with treated patients in a clinical trial. We conducted a systematic chart review of 27 GM1 gangliosidosis natural history participants across 95 total visits. RCGI-S was assessed at the first visit and rated 1 (normal) to 7 (among the most extremely ill). Each subsequent follow-up was rated on the RCGI-C scale from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). We demonstrate scoring guidelines of both scales with examples and justifications for this pilot in GM1 gangliosidosis natural history participants. The convergent validity of the RCGI scales was explored through correlations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scales. We found strong association between the RCGI-S scores with gray matter volume (r(14)=-0.81; 95% CI [-0.93, -0.51], p less than 0.001), and RCGI-C scores significantly correlated with increases in ventricular volume (𝜒2(1)=18.6, p less than 0.001). Baseline RCGI-S scores also strongly correlated with Vineland adaptive behavioral composite scores taken at the same visit (r(14)=-0.72; 95% CI [-0.93, -0.17], p=0.02). RCGI-S/C scales, which use the clinical evaluation to assess the severity of disease of each patient visit over time, were consolidated into a single quantitative metric in this study. Longitudinal RCGI-C scores allowed us to quantify disease progression in our late-infantile and juvenile GM1 patients. We suggest that the retrospective CGI may be an important tool in evaluating historical data for comparison with changes in disease progression/mitigation following therapeutic interventions.
Investigating the recommendations and governmental actions to address the emerging risks of vector-borne diseases in Canada’s changing climate: A scoping review

Climate change is expected to increase the risks associated with vector-borne diseases, and its implications for human health are already observed across Canada. The objective of this review was to investigate the recommended adaptation strategies related to the risks associated with vector-borne diseases and examine how various levels of government in Canada are executing these recommended actions in their climate change adaptation plans. A combined methodology was employed, consisting of two distinct searches to examine both the recommended adaptation strategies in the peer-reviewed literature and the adaptation actions from governmental sources in the grey literature. Relevant sources were identified across four databases (Embase, Medline, Scopus, Global Health), as well as national, subnational, and municipal governmental websites across Canada. Data were categorized into eight (8) specific adaptation categories based on previously established frameworks. Data were also collected on which vector-borne diseases were referenced, the vulnerable population groups considered, and the inclusion of a One Health focus. A total of 194 peer-reviewed articles and 87 grey literature sources were reviewed, which contained a total of 582 adaptation recommendations and 178 adaptation actions. The most frequently proposed adaptation strategies related to the following categories: Management, Planning, and Policy, Information and Research, and Warning and Observation Systems. Our findings revealed a strong alignment between the recommended strategies and the adaptation measures being implemented. However, notable discrepancies were present among the adaptation categories of Practice and Behaviour and Laboratory Methods and Other Tools, revealing gaps across the literature and potential opportunities for further action. While many recommended strategies are being incorporated into actions across Canada, significant regional variability and gaps remain. We advocate for an increased investment in adaptation measures targeting vector-borne diseases and a greater integration of the One Health approach in subnational and municipal plans.
