Authors: Sak Tetiana , Lialiuk Alla , Mylko Inna , Savchuk Yaroslava 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The article explores the conceptual foundations of building an effective brand. The BAV model is considered as a modern practical approach to brand valuation, its four key components are described. The methodology of the Interbrand company and its elements are studied. A model of dependence of brand value on loyalty and recognition indicators is proposed. Indicators that reflect the complex nature of loyalty and recognition indicators are defined. The author’s methodological approach to assessing brand value is described, which involves conducting a survey of representatives of the target audience of the studied brands, forming a database for brand evaluation, calculating the values of partial indicators, calculating the integral indicator of loyalty/recognition. The quantitative criteria for selecting brand strategies in the matrix «Loyalty-recognition (L/R)» are determined. Depending on the values of the integrated indicators - loyalty and recognition - the matrix «L/R» is proposed, which allows to choose marketing strategies for brand development. The following marketing strategies are proposed in the matrix: expanding awareness, building a brand, preserving and protecting brand positions, and building loyalty. The key elements of the proposed marketing strategies are described. The article conducts a thorough analysis of the Ukrainian dairy market, identifies its problems and prospects. The results of surveys to determine loyalty/recognition for the most famous dairy brands in Ukraine are presented. A matrix «L/R» has been built for them. Appropriate marketing strategies for dairy brands are proposed with basic recommendations for their development.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
One of the important tasks of the functioning of the financial system and democratic society is the effective management of budgetary resources of local self-government bodies. Which, in turn, depends on the amount of budget resources available to local authorities. The main sources of the formation of financial resources are tax and nontax revenues, income from capital transactions and official transfers.
In this article, an objective quantitative analysis of the influence of factors on the formation of local budget revenues is carried out using economic and mathematical modeling on the example of local budgets of the Volyn region. To build a model of dependence the volume of local budget revenues and the constituents of revenue receipts, the method of principal components was used, which made it possible to replace correlated factors with uncorrelated components.
Based on the formed model, it is proposed to forecast income indicators for future periods. Modeling positive and negative scenarios for the formation of the community’s budgetary resources will enable for local self-government bodies to develop, accordingly, plans for the development of the territory, to optimize the sources of income and directions for the use of budgetary resources, and also to implement measures to smooth out negative impacts.
Nonlinear dust ion acoustic solitary waves propagation in a magnetized plasma with Tsallis electron distribution
Authors: Rahman Muktarul , Barman Satyendra Nath 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We have done a theoretical investigation into the propagation of nonlinear dust ion acoustic solitary waves and their soliton properties in a three-component magnetized collisionless plasma consisting of inertial positively charged ions, noninertial electrons following a Tsallis q–distribution, and stationary negatively charged dust grains. We consider a uniform external magnetic field along the z–direction, and the wave propagation occurs obliquely to the magnetic field direction. It is observed that the two types of wave modes namely slow and fast modes, are appears in the linear analysis. By employing the reductive perturbation method, the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and modified KdV equations are determined to describe the small amplitude dust ion acoustic soliton. The dependence of several physical plasma parameters including nonextensive q–parameter, magnetic field strength etc. of our plasma on the propagating dust ion acoustic solitary waves potential are numerically examined. This study shows the simultaneous existence of compressive and rarefactive solitons due to the variation of first order nonlinearity coefficient represented by the KdV equation and it is found that there is a critical point for the plasma parameters where the amplitude of the soliton of KdV equation become diverges. The mKdV equation with second order nonlinearity coefficient is derived from there and observed the solitons only with finite amplitude. The present study could be helpful for understanding the nonlinear travelling waves propagating in laboratory and space plasma environments.
Improving mobile security: A study on android malware detection using LOF
Authors: Albtosh Luay , Omar Marwan 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The ubiquity of smartphones in our daily lives has made them attractive targets for malicious actors seeking to compromise user data and device functionality. Android malware detection has become imperative to protect user privacy and device integrity. This paper presents a focused study on leveraging the Local Outlier Factor (LOF) method for Android malware detection using the DREBIN dataset. Our research addresses the need for accurate and efficient Android malware detection. We explore the LOF method, an anomaly-based detection technique, to assess its effectiveness in distinguishing malicious applications from benign ones within the Android ecosystem. Rigorous experiments using the extensive DREBIN dataset reveal LOF's superiority in accuracy, precision, recall, and False Positive Rate (FPR). We introduce additional metrics like Area Under the Curve (AUC), Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), and True Negative Rate (TNR) to comprehensively evaluate LOF. Our findings highlight LOF's ability to balance false positives and false negatives, making it an ideal choice for Android malware detection. We emphasize the importance of representative datasets, such as DREBIN, for validation. In conclusion, this research positions LOF as a reliable tool for Android malware detection, offering robust protection against emerging threats. As mobile technology evolves, our study encourages further exploration of advanced techniques and real-world deployment scenarios.

Authors: Emokpae Loveth A. , Emokpae Mathias A. 
Published: September 2024

Objectives
To investigate the effects of hydro-ethanolic extracts of leaves and fruit with or without seeds on male sex hormones.

Material and Methods
Hydro-ethanolic extracts of the leaves, fruits with seeds, and fruits without seeds were processed using the Soxhlet extraction technique. Wistar rats were administered 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg of the extracts by oral gavage for 30, 60, and 90 days while the control group received feeds and water ad libitum. After the treatment periods, rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and blood was collected by cardiac puncture. Serum follicle-stimulating hormones (FSHs), luteinising hormone (LH), progesterone, prolactin, and testosterone levels were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. Data were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and a p-value of 0.05 was considered significant.

Results
Serum testosterone, FSH, and LH levels in rats treated with 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg were significantly increased (p < 0.05) in a dose-dependent manner compared with controls.

Conclusion
The consumption of this commonly used food spice appears to have beneficial effects on the male sex hormones.

Published: September 2024

Background
Existing creatinine-based equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR), developed primarily in populations of European and African American ancestry, do not accurately reflect the GFR in the Indian population due to differences in body composition, diet, and other factors. This manuscript describes the rationale and methodology for developing a creatinine-based equation for more accurate GFR estimation in Indian subjects.

Materials and Methods
This cross-sectional study will be conducted in India’s two geographically and demographically diverse locations: Chandigarh (north) and Puducherry (south). Participants will include a representative sample from the general population and subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with the latter being recruited from outpatient clinics. A total of 1558 subjects will be enrolled in the discovery and cross-validation cohort and 620 subjects in the external validation cohort. The reference standard for measured GFR (mGFR) will be the plasma clearance of iohexol. Stepwise multiple regression on log-transformed data will determine a set of variables that jointly predict mGFR and identify factors influencing mGFR and estimated (eGFR) in the study population. This study will also explore the performance of mGFR by iohexol measurement from dried blood spots against mGFR from plasma clearance of iohexol.

Conclusion
Developing a more reliable and accurate creatinine-based GFR estimating equation will improve CKD diagnosis, classification, and management. The findings will have substantial implications for CKD research in India and other regions with similar populations.

Authors: Verma Rajesh , Deepthi Bobbity , Saha Abhijeet , Bhattacharjee Jayshree 
Published: September 2024

Background
Children with frequently relapsing (FR) or steroid-dependent (SD) nephrotic syndrome (NS) show endothelial dysfunction and risk of endothelial injury during relapses, increasing the risk of accelerated atherosclerosis and adverse cardiovascular events. This study examines the plasma levels of markers of endothelial dysfunction [sE-selectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)] in children aged 1–16 years with FRNS and SDNS in relapse.

Materials and Methods
Fifty-six children with FRNS and SDNS between 1 and 16 years were enrolled at the time of relapse and followed till six weeks of steroid-induced remission. Markers of endothelial dysfunction (sE-selectin and VCAM-1) in plasma were measured in these children and in an equal number of controls.

Results
Plasma sE-selectin and VCAM-1 levels were significantly raised during relapse, declined after six weeks of steroid-induced remission, and became comparable to controls (p < 0.0001). We found high serum total cholesterol and triglycerides levels during relapse that remained elevated even after steroid-induced remission as compared to controls (p < 0.0001). Raised levels of these markers confirm endothelial dysfunction in FRNS and SDNS patients.

Conclusion
Children with FRNS and SDNS had endothelial dysfunction during relapse, which was largely dependent upon disease activity.
Reinterpretation of Mythological Characters in Youth Culture
Authors: Normanskaya Anzhela V. 
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the specifics of modern reinterpretation of mythological characters, as well as its representation in youth culture. Mythological subjects and their heroes remain attractive for the creative sphere for many centuries. For young people, immersion in mythology allows them to develop constructive solutions to many issues, to recreate a positive picture of the world through the eternal idea of the triumph of good and justice reflected in ancient texts. It is the reinterpretation approach to the reading of world-famous works that allows us to use a wide range of myth. For example, the interest in the myths of European society in the second half of the 20th century is due to the fact that this time is associated with the threat of the outbreak of nuclear war and, as a consequence, with constant uncertainty and the simultaneous desire of each person for a life-affirming and immutable basis, such as the classical one. The evolution of representations of myth in culture has led to the emergence of reinterpretations of the original source, making some of them popular, including with youth audiences.In the 21st century, other mythological images have emerged in accordance with the challenges of the time, which we consider as cultural products of a new level, characterized not only by an appeal to the classical text, but also by a commercial component. The article provides several examples of how the new artistic presentation of mythological characters is reflected in modern mass youth culture — in literature, video games and cinema. The modern interpretation of the tales of ancient civilizations is based on the cultural preferences of mass viewers: the images of myths can be canonical or modernized, but in any case universal. The process of giving new meaning to myths familiar from the school days from an unexpected (nonclassical) side has been repeatedly discussed in the scientific cultural field.The relevance of reinterpretation of mythological characters in youth culture is due to the desire of the new generation not only to rethink the cultural heritage, but also to get in touch with it.
The concept of "absurd world" in the works of outstanding French playwrights of the first half of the 20th century. Towards the statement of the question
Authors: Gadzhieva D. Z. 
Published: September 2024

This article is devoted to the work of two luminaries of the French drama of the absurd – Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco. It reveals the theory of the absurd by Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco. The article has a plan of content and a plan of expression. The first one is mainly represented by former Soviet criticism, which, as follows from the materials of the work, proceeded from the primacy of an allegedly cheap and primitive plot. In them, the paradox itself was analyzed as something alien to great and real art. The second plan is more sober and rational. Throughout the course of the study, it was shown that the theory of the absurd by Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco cannot be indisputably understood as not requiring explanation and well-known reservations. The playwrights themselves did not abandon logic at all, they only sought it throughout their creative activity precisely in anti-logic. Hence the paradox of the French playwrights. The relevance of the chosen topic consists of several problems. Firstly, in the world philological science, it is on the material of the dramaturgy of these two writers that there are still many "white spots" that require further scientific research. Secondly, it attracts modern scientists with its unusual architectonics. The article highlights the main constituent elements of these dramas. That is, it was primarily about mixing the base with the sublime, the comic with the tragic, dividing the dramas of two writers into many diverse episodes. The dynamics of parallel actions in antidramas is noticeable, which unfold as side effects to the main thread of the plot development. Certain textual layers are derived, directly based on the quotations of the cited scientists. A clash of different points of view is given. At the same time, it is obvious that the dramas of the absurdity of these writers were aimed at modernity with their sharp edge. The relevance of the chosen topic consists of several problems.
