Authors: O.N. Kvasov , E.V. Semenova 
Published: October 2024

Throughout its history, Russia has faced various geopolitical, environmental, and social challenges. Some of them have remained in the past, and some continue to operate now. One of these challenges is the problem of forest fires. They were a severe disaster for our people during the time of Kievan Rus, and remain so in the XXI century. Since ancient times, the state has paid attention to the prevention of forest fires, trying to prevent them, and if this failed, it was engaged in the organization of firefighting. This article provides an overview of the history of the spread of forest fires from the time of Kievan Rus to the end of the XIX century. and their causes. The analysis of the development of state measures aimed at combating forest fires is given – the formation and development of forest legislation, the formation of a corps of foresters and fire chiefs, the organization of firefighting and the involvement of peasants in this matter. The role of zemstvo institutions in the fight against forest fires in the second half of the XIX century is considered. The article concludes that the state policy of combating forest fires has gone a long way from punishing arsonists to creating a developed structure of forest protection agencies and a set of laws, but as far as extinguishing fires, the main burden fell on the shoulders of peasants. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that forest fires still occur on a different scale every year and the historical experience of fighting them can be useful nowadays.
На протяжении своей истории Россия сталкивалась с различными геополитическими, экологическими, социальными вызовами. Некоторые из них остались в прошлом, а некоторые продолжают действовать и сейчас. Одним из таких вызовов является проблема лесных пожаров. Они являлись тяжелым бедствием для нашего народа во времена Киевской Руси, остаются таковым и в XXI в. Государство с древних времен уделяло внимание профилактике лесных пожаров, пытаясь предотвратить их, а если это не удавалось – то занималось организацией пожаротушения. В данной статье представлен обзор истории распространения лесных пожаров со времен Киевской Руси до конца XIX в. и их причин. Дается анализ развития государственных мер, направленных на борьбу с лесными пожарами, – становление и развитие лесного законодательства, формирование корпуса лесничих и пожарных старост, организация пожаротушения и привлечение крестьян к этому делу. Рассматривается роль земских учреждений в борьбе с лесными пожарами во второй половине XIX в. В статье делается вывод о том, что государственная политика борьбы с лесными пожарами прошла большой путь развития от наказания для поджигателей до создания развитой структуры лесоохранительных органов и комплекса законов, но в том, что касается тушения пожаров, основная нагрузка ложилась на плечи крестьян. Актуальность исследования обусловлена тем, что лесные пожары и сейчас в разных масштабах происходят каждый год и исторический опыт борьбы с ними может быть полезен в наши дни.

Капітальні інвестиції як об’єкт фінансового контролінгу
Authors: Ратушний Сергій Михайлович 
Published: October 2024

Стаття присвячена капітальним інвестиціям як об’єкту фінансового контролінгу. Метою статті є оцінка теоретичних підходів до визначення капітальних інвестицій, аналіз динаміки показників капітального інвестування в країні як передумови для виявлення впливу факторів зовнішнього та внутрішнього середовища на інвестиційну активність підприємств та обґрунтування необхідності впровадження інструментарію фінансового контролінгу суб’єктами господарювання. Визначено, що розгляд капітальних інвестицій як об’єкта фінансового контролінгу сучасними вченими розглядається фрагментарно, водночас достатньо поширеним є вивчення інвестицій у межах контролінгу всієї інвестиційної діяльності підприємств. Виокремлено специфічні ознаки капітальних інвестицій як об’єкта фінансового контролінгу, а саме: 1) капітальні інвестиції є вкладенням капіталу із заздалегідь визначеною метою – його збільшенням; 2) капітальні інвестиції є довгостроковим вкладенням капіталу; 3) капітальні інвестиції мають різні форми, види та джерела фінансування; 4) здійснення ефективних капітальних інвестицій на підприємстві є ознакою його довгострокової фінансової стійкості; 5) достатність та ефективність здійснення капітальних інвестицій визначає інвестиційну активність окремих підприємств та держави. Обґрунтовано, що значущість дослідження капітальних інвестицій як об’єкта фінансового контролінгу обумовлена важливістю їх для забезпечення довгострокової фінансової стійкості суб’єктів господарювання (на мікрорівні) та забезпеченням нормального відтворювального процесу основного капіталу країни (на макрорівні). Водночас розвиток ринкових відносин обумовлює трансформацію наукових підходів, їх сутності, форми, методів та принципів здійснення капітальних інвестицій, що визначає потребу в інноваційних управлінських технологіях, якою є система фінансового контролінгу. Проведений фінансовий аналіз за сукупністю показників (суми капітальних інвестицій у матеріальні активи у розрізі їх видів; основних видів господарської діяльності, індексів капітальних інвестицій за видами діяльності, впливу суми капітальних інвестицій на обсяг ВВП) дозволив виявити вплив факторів зовнішнього (політичні, економічні, соціальні, науково-технологічні) та внутрішнього (виробничо-технічні, фінансові, організаційно-управлінські) середовища на інвестиційну активність суб’єктів господарювання. Усвідомлення негативного впливу факторів зовнішнього та внутрішнього середовища протягом останніх років на інвестиційну активність підприємств вимагає пошуку нових адаптивних управлінських технологій, спрямованих на відновлення рівня інвестиційної активності, зокрема за допомогою інструментарію системи фінансового контролінгу. Перспективи подальших наукових досліджень варто пов’язати з моделюванням системи фінансового контролінгу капітальних інвестицій на підприємствах.
SOCIAL MEDIA SENTIMENT AND STOCK MARKET VOLATILITY: EVIDENCE FROM THE US HI-TECH COMPANIES
Authors: Dutta Anupam 
Published: October 2024

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effects of social media sentiment, measured by Twitter-based uncertainty index, on the stock market volatility of the US technology companies.

Design/methodology/approach: Methodologically, we employ the quantile regression model. Our findings reveal that the volatility of Amazon, Apple, Google and IBM stocks are sensitive to the variations in twitter-based economic and market uncertainties (i.e., TEU and TMU indexes).

Findings: We observe significant influences at both lower and upper quantiles. Thus, for both high and low volatility regimes, the information on twitter-based uncertainty indexes can be used to predict the market volatility of these leading hi-tech companies. Moreover, TEU and TMU indexes exert positive effects on the stock price implied volatility implying that the variance of these technology firms experiences an upward trend as the social media uncertainty rises.

Originality/value: While numerous studies have focused on the influence of social media (e.g., Facebook, twitter etc.) on investment strategies, the impact of twitter sentiments on the risk linked to hi-tech firms remains understudied. Hence, investors participating in the technology sectors could use our findings for managing portfolio risk.

Objective: To explore the effect of Social Skills Training (SST) on the social function of inpatients with schizophrenia. Methods: A total of 40 patients with schizophrenia (20 in the intervention group and 20 in the control group) were selected from a psychiatric hospital in Shanghai for 10 times (once a week) of social skills training. The control group was treated with routine hospitalization (drug therapy and routine hospitalization nursing) for 10 weeks. Social Disability Screening Schedule before and after intervention for patients enrolled in the intervention group (Social Disability Screening Schedule, SDSS and Scale of Social Function in Psychosis Inpatients, SSPI). Conclusion: The results of social skills training on SDSS and SSPI were different between the two groups, and there was no statistical value (P > 0.05). Observation of patients in this group, when undergoing social skills training, SSPI score was significantly better than the control group (P < 0.01) and SDSS score was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.01), the differences were statistically significant. Social skills training and social work group intervention can improve psychiatric symptoms and further enhance social function in hospitalized patients with schizophrenia.
Maternal Death Self-Risk Perception as a Predictor of Women’s Delivery Site Preferences in Ile-Ife, Nigeria
Authors: Esan Oluwaseun , Grace Okonta Uchechi , Samuel Oladapo Oluwaseun , Phillip Gbolade Adetomiwa , Adebayo Oyewole Tesleem 
Published: October 2024

Background: Increased uptake of health facility delivery could improve the worsening maternal mortality in low and middle-income countries. Several factors that determine women’s preferred delivery site had been reported in the literature, but none had explored women’s self-perception of maternal death as a predictor of their delivery site, hence this study.
Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study of 183 women recruited serially at the immuni­za­tion clinic of two primary health facilities in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Data was obtained using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Their maternal death self-risk perception score by type of delivery site was determined with a minimum and maximum obtainable score of 7 and 35. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was done including a simple and multiple binary logistic regression.
Results: The mean age of the respondents (Mean= 29; SD= 5.26). About 130 (71.0%) of the women delivered at a health facility. The majority of the women (91.8%) were aware of maternal death, while 32 (17.5%) feared death in their last pregnancy, with a mean maternal death self-risk perception score ((Mean= 24.96; SD= 2.69) (95% CI= 24.55 to 25.33)). The higher the maternal death self-risk perception score, the greater the odds of a facility-based delivery (AOR=1.40, 95% CI=1.20 to 1.64, p<0.001). However, alongside other confounding variables, only a facility-based ANC registration (AOR= 607.52, 95% CI= 1.39 to 2.66*105, p=0.039) and women’s personal reasons (AOR=0.02; 95%CI= 0.01 to 0.51; p=0.018) significantly influenced delivering at a health facility and non-health facility respectively.
Conclusion: The place of ANC registration and personal reasons such as the women’s influential decision-makers better predicted their eventual delivery site. Nonetheless, the development and standardization of maternal death self-risk perception criteria for women is encouraged.

Background Global initiatives have emphasized the elimination of cervical cancer (CC) among female sex workers (FSW) in Africa. Yet screening remains low, and few interventions have been outlined to target this group. This scoping review sought to understand the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among FSW in Africa regarding human papillomavirus (HPV) and CC prevention, and to identify the most effective intervention strategies. Methods A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and African Index Medicus for work published between January 2012 through August 2022. Eligible studies included those relating to HPV and CC prevention among FSW in Africa. Studies were categorized as KAP, intervention, or both. A Logic Model was used to guide content analysis of the interventions, and a thematic analysis of all studies was performed. Results The search resulted in 79 articles of which 11 were included in the study. Six African countries were represented including South Africa, Mozambique, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Nigeria. Five of the articles described KAP, while the other six described interventions. The intervention studies were categorized into 3 groups: “screen and treat”, self-collection HPV testing, and a “diagonal intervention” which included a multi-faceted approach. Conclusions Limited literature exists regarding KAP and interventions for HPV and CC prevention among FSW in Africa. While FSW in the literature had a moderate level of knowledge regarding HPV and CC prevention, studies identified a lack of detailed and nuanced knowledge. Successful uptake of screening was seen when services were provided at convenient locations, integrated into routine or HIV care, and recommended by healthcare providers. Future interventions should be context-specific, include improved counselling and education, and be integrated with other services.
Patient’s Perceptions and Experiences about the Root Canal Treatment: A Survey among Patients Visiting Nobel Medical College
Authors: Singh Amit Kumar , Chamlagain Alisha 
Published: October 2024

Introduction: One major drawback of root canal therapy (RCT) is that most people don't know enough about it. To effectively address the issue, it is imperative to comprehend and identify the elements that impede or discourage patients from undergoing Root Canal Treatment. A survey of the literature reveals a dearth of information regarding patients' understanding and acceptability of root canal treatment (RCT) in the Nepali community.
Objective: The objective of the study was to determine how well-informed patients were about root canal treatment at Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital in Biratnagar. A wide-ranging patient viewpoint on the matter was sought by means of a patient survey.
Methods: This survey was conducted with the help of prestructured questionnaire consisting of 15 questions, distributed to random 250 patients coming to the outpatient department of Conservative dentistry and Endodontics at Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital. The completed questionnaires were then analyzed to assess patients’ experiences, concerns, and perceptions about RCT.
Results: There is a lack of awareness among patients regarding RCT.
Conclusion: The people need to be made more aware of the importance of maintaining a healthy dentition and the consequences that follow if this isn't done. If patients were fully informed about endodontic procedures, more might consider having them.

Secured fog-based vehicular crowd-sensing protocol by Modified Attribute based Encryption Model
Authors: Umale Bhagyashree Ramesh , Sharma Pooja 
Published: October 2024

The contemporary fog computing paradigm evolved from traditional cloud computing to give storage and computation resources at the network’s edge. Fog enabled vehicular processing is anticipated to be a fundamental component that may expedite a variety of applications, notably crowd-sensing, when applied to vehicular networks. As a result, the confidentiality and safety of vehicles participating in the crowd-sensing platform are now recognized as critical challenges for smart police and cyber defence. Furthermore, sophisticated access control is essential to meet the requirements of crowd-sensing users of information. This work presents a novel secured fog-based protocol for vehicular crowd sensing utilizing an attribute-based encryption model. The proposed framework incorporates a two-layered fog architecture termed fog layer A and fog layer B. Fog layer A includes data owners (vehicles) and fog nodes, while fog layer B consists of fog nodes integrated with Road Side Units (RSUs). The Transport Triggered Architecture (TTA) governs the retrieval of regular or specialized data as per the request of data users. The data collection procedure varies based on the type of data being processed. Regular data is gathered from data owners, aggregated using the Multiple Kernel Induced in Kernel Least Mean Square (MKI-KLMS) technique, which employs kernel least mean square and hierarchical fractional bidirectional least mean square methods to handle redundancy in data aggregation. Subsequently, the aggregated data is encrypted using the Proposed Fusion Key for Encryption (PFKE) technique, which employs a fusion key for message encryption. Additionally, an enhanced Blowfish algorithm is applied for an extra layer of encryption on the already encrypted data. The encrypted data is then transmitted to the TTA. The decryption process utilizes the same key to retrieve the original message. The Modified Attribute based Encryption Model (MAEM) scheme achieves the highest efficiency of 90.9476.

Authors: Shvets Iryna 
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the features of digital inclusion in modern cultural industries of Ukraine and to outline promising strategies for overcoming the digital divide. Research methodology. The analytical method, the method of analysis and synthesis, the dialogical method, the typological method, the systematic method, the method of comparative analysis and the method of scientific generalisation are applied. Scientific novelty. The problem of digital inclusion in the cultural industry has been studied; the theory of digital inclusion in foreign scientific works is considered; the peculiarities of digital inclusion in modern cultural industries of Ukraine were revealed; promising measures on which the strategy for overcoming the digital divide should be based are outlined. Conclusions. The strategy of digital inclusion of cultural industries in Ukraine should be based on a set of measures aimed at overcoming the digital divide, which includes, first of all: providing high-speed Internet to as large a part of the population as possible; all kinds of assistance in the process of improving the digital literacy of potential consumers of a cultural product / service; provision of high-quality technical support; creation of specialised applications and online content, according to the specifics of the activities covered by each cultural industry. Potential forward-looking steps include providing ongoing support to users, reducing professional jargon and offering interpretive resources, and ensuring that technology and training are offered to all users on an equal basis, not just those confident enough to seek help. The study revealed that at the current stage in Ukraine, only libraries not only offer the Internet, but also provide a range of training services from basic digital literacy to the skills needed to use certain services (audio/video streaming service, file sharing services, online platforms), devices and applications that are currently actively used in the system of cultural industries (for example, applications of augmented reality in museum, exhibition activities, performing arts).
