“Gray Schemes” for Establishing Foreign Control Over Strategic Business Companies
Authors: Milchakova О. V. 
Published: December 2023

The article discusses current issues of limiting foreign participation in certain sectors of the economy.Based on the analysis of law enforcement and judicial practice, the author identifies various types of “gray schemes” for establishing foreign control over strategic companies, which are proposed to be understood as ways of organizing and implementing a set of transactions and other actions of foreign investors and legal entities and individuals belonging to the same group of persons with them, committed in circumvention of the law and the result of which is the establishment of foreign control over strategic companies, carried out, as a rule, in veiled forms hidden from the state in the person of authorized bodies.In general foreign investors comply with the requirements of Russian legislation, acting in good faith and acquiring assets of Russian companies in compliance with established restrictions and licensing procedures, while the number of legal transactions in the period 2008—2023 significantly exceeds the number of illegal transactions.
Institutional System of Public Administration in the Economic Sphere (Basic Concepts, Principles of Construction and Prospects for Reform)
Authors: Maksimov S. V. 
Published: December 2023

The concepts of “institutional system of public management in the economic sphere”, “public power”, “economic management”, “principles of public economic management”, “subjects of public power vested with powers to manage the economy” have been studied. Definitions of relevant concepts are proposed.It is concluded that public power in the economic sphere can be exercised by authorities not only directly, but also through the delegation of certain powers to other entities not related to state authorities or local self-government.In modern Russian practice, power in the economic sphere can be delegated not only to state and local government agencies, but also to other bodies and organizations, as well as citizens.At the same time, today in Russia there are no general grounds, principles and procedures for vesting government authorities, other bodies and organizations, as well as individuals with certain powers in the economic sphere, established by regulatory legal acts.This legislative gap, in the author’s opinion, reduces the effectiveness of public administration, including control, in the economic sphere.To resolve this problem, the author proposes to consolidate a list of public powers related to public management of the economy by normative legal acts of appropriate legal force; general grounds, conditions and principles for the delegation of public powers in the sphere of economic management to organizations, associations of citizens and individual citizens; register of relevant entities.
Critical Thinking in Curriculum Practice: The Case of Higher Institutions of Learning in Uganda
Authors: Katende Esther 
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the nature of critical thinking in curriculum practice in higher institutions of learning in Uganda. The study is based on Makerere University Business School, as a case study of institutions of higher learning in Uganda.
Methodology: The methodology used is textual analysis of curriculum documents, non participatory overt classroom observation and focused interviews of the lecturers who teach the observed classes, to determine whether in practice, critical thinking is actually taught to learners.
Findings: It is the finding of this research that the curriculum practice in Uganda generally uses methods that do not strongly support the development of critical thinking skills in learners. The over-dependence on the lecture method causes the learners to fall short of the key Taxonomic words that build critical thinking skills in learners.
Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: This study is a unique contribution to theory and practice as it shows the implementation of critical thinking in the classroom in Uganda in relation to Bloom’s Taxonomy.

AbstractThe importance of urban tree diversity for improving resilience is increasingly understood by decision makers. Urban foresters want to prevent the overrepresentation of species on their streets and in their city, which could result in a significant loss of canopy cover in the event of a large-scale disturbance such as a drought or an exotic pest or disease. Although numerous software and tools exist to visualize tree inventories and plan tree maintenance work, only a few offer support for increasing tree diversity. After reviewing the existing tools available for urban forest managers, we present SylvCiT, a novel decision-support and open-source software available on a web platform designed to consolidate information related to the urban forest in one place and facilitate decision-making at different scales. While the first interfaces provide the user with a spatially explicit portrait of the urban forest (species richness, functional diversity, structural diversity, i.e., diameter classes) and associated ecosystem benefits (e.g., stored carbon, ornamental value), the software is designed to produce a list of functional groups and appropriate species to plant considering tree species already present. Based on an artificial intelligence algorithm, SylvCiT identifies the types of trees (species and functional groups) that are absent or underrepresented at different scales to make recommendations that increase species and functional diversity to improve resilience to global change. SylvCiT will continue to be developed to evaluate other ecosystem benefits and integrate criteria such as site characteristics into the recommendation algorithm.
Green Urban Scenarios: A Framework for Digital Twin Representation and Simulation for Urban Forests and Their Impact Analysis
Authors: Ozel Bulent , Petrovic Marko 
Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundTrees are a critical part of urban infrastructure. Cities worldwide are pledging afforestation objectives due to net-zero targets; however, their realisation requires a comprehensive framework that combines science, policy, and practice.MethodsThe paper presents the Green Urban Scenarios (GUS) framework for designing and monitoring green infrastructures. GUS considers weather, maintenance, tree species, diseases, and spatial distributions of trees to forecast their impacts. The framework uses agent-based modelling (ABM) and simulation paradigm to integrate green infrastructure into a city’s ecological, spatial, economic, and social context. ABM enables the creation of digital twins for urban ecosystems at any level of granularity, including individual trees, to accurately predict their future trajectories. Digital representation of trees is created using a combination of datasets such as earth observations from space, street view images, field surveys, and qualitative descriptions of typologies within existing and future projects. Machine learning and statistical models calibrate biomass growth patterns and carbon release schemes.ResultsThe paper examines various green area typologies, simulating several hypothetical scenarios based on Glasgow’s urban forests. It exhibits the emergence of heterogeneity features of the forests due to interactions among trees. The growth trajectory of trees has a non-linear transition phase toward stable growth in its maturity. Reduced maintenance deteriorates the health of trees leading to lower survival rate and increased CO2emissions, while the stormwater alleviation capacity may differ among species.ConclusionsThe paper demonstrates how GUS can facilitate policies and maintenance of urban forests with environmental, social, and economic benefits.
Tree View Assessment: Survey of Two Municipalities Located in the
Brussels Capital Region
Authors: Llaguno-Munitxa M. , Agudo-Sierra E. , Burgueño-Diaz A. , Guillet Alain 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background
Recent literature has highlighted the importance of visual
accessibility to nature to reduce stress, anxiety, or depression amongst
others. However, green visual accessibility is yet rarely considered in
urban policy implementations. Reasons behind this are manifold, and
include the challenges associated with the measurability of green views
which require data-intensive pedestrian view computations, and
assessment methods are yet to be agreed upon.

Methods
Two methods, Street View Images (SVI) and semantic classification,
and geospatial viewshed analysis, were used to compute street level tree
views. All street views contained within 2 municipalities from the
Brussels Capital Region (BCR) have been studied. Using the SVI method,
15 green view indicators have been proposed. Using the viewshed
analysis, the tree view area ratio (TVar) from each
SVI geo-location has been computed. The independence between the
indicators was evaluated, and using a random forest model, the principal
SVI indicators to describe the TVarhave been
studied.

Results
The variability explained by the random forest model was
approximately 60% to 70%. The SVI indicators related to the
horizontality of green infrastructure and tree canopy explained most of
TVar. The results also reveal the tree canopy
differences between both municipalities.

Conclusions
SVI tree view indicators provide acceptable predictions of the
TVarwhich could be particularly useful for
municipalities with no access to detailed geospatial data. The 30% to
40% of the unexplained variability, could be related to errors derived
from the tree canopy geospatial layer, differences in the data
collection dates, or geolocation errors of the SVIs.
Sustainable Restoration of Cultural Heritage in the digital era

Published: December 2023

The reprocessing, preservation, and maintenance of the wide historical architectural heritage in Italy represent one of the main challenges of digitalization; not only it is one of the oldest among in Europe, but it is also widespread across the country between cities and rural areas. The care of such an aging built environment needs a carefully planned approach that can take advantage of new technologies such as Historical/Heritage Building Information Modelling (H-BIM) and Digital Twin (DT). The final goal is to promote a long-term sustainable restoration with high qualitative standards. Usually, the topic of sustainability is discussed for new constructions where it is of fundamental importance to save materials, energy, land use and to reduce the carbon footprint. However, being the number of historical buildings elevate in Italy, the concept shall be extended also to them, that are way more fragile if compared to the surrounding. Moreover, cultural heritage is connected to specific challenges that need to be addressed. What was happened in Aquila region after the earthquake of 2019 must not happen again. Digital technologies can be used to prevent such a catastrophic event, preventing and limiting damages, providing evaluable information, and realizing a tool that can be shared among the stakeholders to restore the physical and cultural value of an historical building also in case of extreme events.

Bu çalışmada Ege Bölgesinde bulunan Meslek Yüksekokulları öğrencileri ile bu öğrencilere eğitim veren öğretim elemanlarına uygulanan anket vasıtasıyla uzaktan eğitim süreci, SPSS 29.00 programı çıktıları kullanılarak, açık uçlu sorularda yapılan yorumlar dikkate alınarak ve anketlerdeki sorulara verilen yanıtlar karşılaştırılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin ve öğretim elemanlarının demografik özellikleri ile ölçek arasında ilişki olup olmadığı, süreçte yapıldığı düşünülen hatalar ve katkılar, yorumlar arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıklar, iki örneklem grubunun fikir birliği ve fikir ayrılığı yaşadığı noktalar hem veri analizleri hem de karşılaştırmalara dayalı olarak ortaya konulmuştur.
3580 toplam katılımcının yer aldığı araştırmada öğrencilerin okudukları sınıf ile ölçek arasında güçlü ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptanırken, cinsiyet, yaş gibi belirttikleri demografik özellikleri içeren değişkenler ile ölçek arasında anlamlı ancak zayıf düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretim elemanlarının cinsiyet, yaş, unvan gibi demografik özellikleri ile ölçek arasında herhangi bir ilişkiye rastlanmamış, belirtmiş oldukları değişken bilgilerinin yanıtlar üzerinde etkili olmadığı anlaşılmıştır.
Katılımcılara anket sonunda yöneltilen açık uçlu sorularda belirtilen görüşler belirli başlıklarda toplanarak yorumlanmış ve karşılaştırılmış, bundan sonraki çalışmalarda yol gösterici olarak ayrıca değerlendirilmiştir. Buna göre; katılımcı öğrencilerin yüzde 30’u uzaktan eğitim şeklinde eğitim görmek istemediklerini, katılımcı öğretim elemanlarının yüzde 21’i eğitimin yüz yüze olmasının gerekliliğini belirtmişlerdir. Her iki grupta, zamanı daha verimli kullandıklarını ve bunun süreklilik sağladığı, öğrencilere daha fazla ders çalışma süresi gerekliliği, eğiticilere de daha fazla iş yükü getirdiği, derslerin teorik ve sosyal içeriklerinin uzaktan eğitim yolu ile verilebileceği, sürecin başarılı bir şekilde işletildiği, kolaylıkla geri bildirim alabildikleri konularında fikir birliğinde oldukları gözlenmiştir. Ancak, tekrarlı izlemenin fayda sağladığı, yüz yüze eğitime göre daha etkili olacağı, tüm derslerin uzaktan yürütülebileceği, uzaktan eğitim ile hiçbir şey öğrenemedikleri ve öğretemedikleri, sınavların yüz yüze olmasının gerekliliği ve güvenilirliği konularında vermiş oldukları yanıtlarda değer farklılıkları görülmüştür.

«Our Town» and its «End»: an intertextual journey between the worlds of T. Wilder and D. Hatzis
Authors: Сатдарова А.А. 
Published: December 2023

Сопоставление произведения-источника интертекста и произведения-реципиента интертекста расширяет возможности для интерпретации последнего. Осветив тему взаимосвязи текста «Το τέλος της μικρής μας πόλης» Д. Хадзиса и «Нашего городка» Т. Уайлдера, мы получили более точное представление о логике построения сюжетов, выстраивания системы персонажей, формирования образа нарратора, пространственно-временного плана произведения, тематического и смыслового наполнения сборника.
The title of the book «Το τέλος της μικρής μας πόλης» by D. Hatzis suggests a vague reference to the title of another literary work — «Our Town» by T. Wilder. Reading the book, we try to understand if there is any reason to assume that these works are related, and perhaps conclude that this is just a coincidence. However, the narrator interrupts the process of figuring out and exposes his intention in the short story «Ο ντέτεκτιβ», directly making reference to the play by T. Wilder, and even speaking to the writer himself. As in the story itself, the clue that promises a sense of relief only raises new questions. The manifestations of intertextuality are always evidence of permeability of boundaries of the world of the literary work. Testing this boundary is one of D. Hadzis’s regular artistic purposes, so references to other literary works are quite frequent in his work. The use of intertext in «Το τέλος της μικρής μας πόλης», background at first glance, nevertheless reaches into the foundations of the world of literary work, creating many interconnections at all levels: plot, genre, composition.
Gamete Space Colonization: Why Space Colonization Based on Gametes Is Morally Preferable to Colonization Based on Embryos
Authors: Balistreri Maurizio 
Published: December 2023

AbstractEmbryo space colonization is one of the solutions that have been proposed to minimize the existential risk that, in the coming centuries, the human species will undergo irreversible extinction. This type of solution involves sending cryopreserved human embryos into space on board a spaceship entirely guided by intelligent machines tasked with identifying and finding the most suitable planet for human colonization within the solar system or another stellar system. The goal is not to assess the feasibility of this project, but rather to consider whether the use of human gametes would constitute a more ethical solution. It will be argued that, all else being equal, sending gametes instead of embryos into space presents at least three advantages. First, it makes it possible to have a more genetically diverse range of human embryos available, facilitating the selection of genetically better embryos for colonizing the new planet. In addition, producing embryos ad hoc from gametes allows improving the genetic characteristics of embryos without resorting to genome editing, which could present safety issues. Finally, gamete space colonization does not eliminate but reduces the possibility that the designers’ biases influence the selection of embryos.
