Authors: Kozin Anastasiia , Kozin Serhii , Kovach Denis , Brulevych Volodymyr , Kovach Olena 
Published: February 2025

The relevance of the study is determined by the ineffectiveness of the local self-government reform in Ukraine, in particular, the lack of autonomy of local authorities. The purpose of the article is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory and legal framework of the activities of local self-government bodies, and the state in the area of local self-government reform. The leading methods of research have become dialectical (when defining the reform itself); general methods of synthesis and analysis (when defining the concepts of "reform", "local self-government bodies", "municipal power", etc.); comparative and legal method (when examining relevant sources, scientific texts, international legislation). It is determined that the problem of local self-government reform is a very urgent problem for Ukrainian society; it is characterized by inadequate legislation, difficult socio-economic situation, and mass ignorance of the population regarding their rights to participate in solving issues of local importance, as well as the forms of exercising such rights. The above is related to improperly conducted work of local authorities with the population. The need to take measures for the effective implementation of local self-government reform in Ukraine based on foreign experience is proven.
Keywords: state reforms; local self-government reform; reform measures; the right of citizens to local self-government; local councils and executive bodies.

Published: February 2025

This research explores the pragmatic domain of marketing management. As it explores the antecedents of reinvestment decisions in marketing activities, the importance of data usage satisfaction and marketing data analytics was also felt. To explore marketing data analytics, this research investigated its constituents, such as information quality and technology quality. A sample of 184 marketing managers was utilized, and the data was processed using SPSS 20.0 and Lisrel 10.0. Findings reveal that technology quality had a favorable influence on data usage satisfaction and, finally, on reinvesting decisions among marketing professionals. Moreover, a substantial and positive relationship exists between the quality of information and the level of satisfaction among marketing professionals, which was also observed. There is a favourable association between Data usage satisfaction with reinvesting plans. The findings have very serious and practical implications for the usage of marketing data analytics and decisions to reinvest in certain marketing practices of Big business corporations. The study acts as a cornerstone in this domain.

Published: February 2025

This paper analyzes the findings of a study on the attitudes and actions of Ukrainian psychology students regarding the awareness and fulfillment of their calling in real and virtual life spaces through the lens of sustainable development and in the context of a post-conflict society. The phenomenon of calling is viewed as a significant personal construct that not only contributes to successful self-actualization and psychological well-being but also establishes a foundation for sustainable professional development. Examining students' perceptions of the term "calling" is crucial as it enables monitoring, psychological support and the development of competencies essential for sustainable professional growth during their education.
An internalized sense of calling is seen as a key to successful professional self-determination in alignment with sustainable development principles, as well as a factor in the effectiveness of further professionalization. It was found that students predominantly perceive calling as an attractive activity that enables them to fulfill their potential while considering social responsibility.
Understanding the meanings and functions of calling among future psychologists is vital in the context of providing psychological assistance to clients dealing with difficulties in professional self-fulfillment, career building, and the development of conscious life strategies, particularly in a post-conflict society. The study also revealed that virtual spaces, particularly social networks, serve as a widespread platform for students to realize their calling by seeking relevant and engaging information, fostering social interaction, and expanding communication networks.
To mitigate the risks and challenges of the virtual space when understanding and fulfilling their calling, respondents employ critical thinking, a high level of self-respect, adherence to basic cybersecurity principles, information hygiene and sustainable development guidelines
Keywords: calling, self-actualization, sustainable development, post-conflict society, future psychologists, virtual space, social networks

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT
Esophageal Crohn's disease is uncommon and difficult to identify, especially in the adult population. In this study, we report a biologic-naïve patient with colonic Crohn's disease complicated by recurrent esophageal strictures despite many dilations, who presented to our center with recurrent aspiration pneumonia. He was found to have a tracheoesophageal fistula as the likely etiology. After multidisciplinary discussion, he underwent esophagectomy given the severity of his stenosis. The patient's surgical course was complicated by dysphonia and aspiration due to unilateral vocal cord paralysis, which resolved with vocal cord injection. This case highlights a severe manifestation of esophageal Crohn's disease.

The phenomenon of relapse is still widespread. It is show that the recovery of drug patients has less effective effect without the support of motivation to change from that individual. In psychology, the motivation of drug patients to change is generally associated with the term self-determination. This correlational-quantitative study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between self-determination and abstinence self-efficacy on drug addicts undergoing rehabilitation. Respondents in this study are 200 drug addicts undergoing rehabilitation. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The measurement instrument used Self-Determination Scale ( = 0,859) and Abstinence Self-Efficacy Scale ( = 0,930). According to the correlation study results, self-determination and abstinence self-efficacy had a significant value of 0,000 (p<0,05) with r = 0,373. It can be concluded that there is a significant positive relationship between the two variables. The individual that had motivation to change (self-determination) will help them to increase their confidence to recover from drug use.

A novel metric for 6D pose estimation
Authors: Niedermaier Tobias , Berens Felix , Reischl Markus , Elser Stefan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Current state-of-the-art evaluation methods for 6D pose estimation have several significant drawbacks. Existing error metrics can produce near-zero errors for poor pose estimations and are heavily dependent on the object point cloud used, resulting in vastly different outcomes for different objects. Furthermore, false detections are not considered at all. Evaluating pose estimators is crucial as it directly impacts the reliability and effectiveness of applications in robotics, augmented reality, and object manipulation tasks. Accurate evaluation ensures that pose estimators can be trusted to perform well in real-world scenarios, leading to better system performance and user satisfaction. In this paper, we conduct experiments to provide insights into how these metrics behave under isolated errors. We also introduce a novel evaluation approach with a metric independent of point clouds, making it applicable to a broader range of use cases than current metrics.
Coordinated operation of pumped hydro energy storage with reversible pump turbine and co-located battery energy storage system
Authors: Tadayon Leon , Meiers Josef , Ibing Lukas , Erdelkamp Kevin , Frey Georg 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This publication examines the coordinated operation of pumped hydro energy storage and battery energy storage systems to improve profitability. While pumped hydro energy storages offer high storage capacity but have slower response times, battery energy storage systems have lower capacity but faster response times. A hybrid system combining both can thus harness synergies. A mixed-integer linear programming model was developed to depict the coordinated use of both systems in the German market. The proposed approach is also applicable to other regional markets where energy and balancing services are traded in a similar manner. In this model, the pumped hydro energy storage operates in the spot market and provides automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve, while the battery energy storage systems supplies Frequency Containment Reserve. The model takes into account the costs caused by degradation effects in both storage types. The results show a 10.05 % increase in revenue through coordination compared to the independent operation of both storage systems. This added value can be achieved through more efficient use of the power capacity, particularly that of the battery energy storage systems, in coordinated operation.
Modelling of the NAMUR NE 178 “Verification of Request” concept using Pro-Active Asset Administration Shells
Authors: Pakala Harish Kumar , Diedrich Christian 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The NAMUR automation pyramid is the current state of the art in the process control industry, it is a monolithic structure with a bidirectional flow of information (top-down/bottom-up). Introducing new technologies into this structure would imply modifying or replacing the existing infrastructure. NAMUR NE 175 opens up this closed structure with a new NAMUR Open Architecture (NOA) to provide read-only access to external interfaces without changing the existing structure, safely, securely and reliably. In continuation of NE 175, NE 178 presents a verification of request concept to allow external Monitoring and Optimization applications to have write access to the devices. This paper attempts to model the actors involved in this concept and their interactions using the Pro-Active AAS introduces an interaction protocol and demonstrates the concept using a single water tank case study.
Understanding biofilm--phage interactions in cystic fibrosis patients using mathematical frameworks
Authors: Emerenini Blessing O. , Hartung Doris , Reyes Grimaldo Ricardo N. G. , Canner Claire , Williams Maya , Agyingi Ephraim , Osgood Robert 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
When planktonic bacteria adhere together to a surface, they begin to form biofilms, communities of bacteria. Biofilm formation in a host can be extremely problematic if left untreated, especially since antibiotics can be ineffective in treating the bacteria. Certain lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis can cause the formation of biofilms in the lungs and can be fatal. With antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the use of phage therapy has been introduced as an alternative or an additive to the use of antibiotics to combat biofilm growth. Phage therapy utilizes bacteriophages that attack bacteria, to penetrate and eradicate biofilms. To evaluate the effectiveness of phage therapy against biofilm bacteria, we create a phage-biofilm model with ordinary differential equations and a stochastic model. We considered three possible cases for the stability of disease-free equilibrium; by model simulations and parameter alterations in both models, we investigated the effect of bacteria–phage interactions alongside biofilm bacteria cell detachment from the biofilm phase to the planktonic phase, and how these will affect the efficiency of phage therapy against bacteria. Our results show that, by increasing the phage mortality rate, the biofilm growth can be balanced, which makes it more vulnerable to antibiotics. Thus, phage therapy is an effective aid in biofilm treatment.
Tracing the origins and grammaticalization path of Irish English habitual do V: an analysis of the 1641 Depositions
Authors: Fanego Teresa , Johnston Seamus , Blanco-Suárez Zeltia 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article addresses the use of the auxiliary do in affirmative declarative clauses (so-called periphrastic do) during the early stages of the shift from Irish, the Celtic language spoken in Ireland, to English as the more common vernacular language there. A corpus compiled from the digital edition of the 1641 Depositions, a collection of witness testimonies recorded after a rebellion in Ireland, is used to examine the functions of periphrastic do. The focus is on possible habitual uses, since contemporary Irish English allows for the marking of habitual aspect in ways which differ significantly from the marking of habituality in other varieties of English. The data show that a periphrasis consisting of do plus the infinitive of a lexical verb (V) is often used in the 1641 Depositions in combination with markers of duration, yielding a habitual interpretation. It is argued that such uses, whose existence in the superstratal variety, Early Modern British English, has not been established, provided the conditions for the exaptation of do as a dedicated marker of habitual aspect, on the model of the habitual categories found in the verbal system of Irish.
Historische Forschung – Archiv – Verwaltung. Eine zu entdeckende Dreiecksbeziehung als Schicksalsgemeinschaft in digitalen Zeiten
Authors: Schlemmer Martin , Wührer Jakob 
Published: February 2025

Zusammenfassung
Aus der Perspektive des öffentlichen Archivwesens richtet der Beitrag einen Blick auf die Dreiecksbeziehung zwischen öffentlicher Verwaltung, öffentlichem Archivwesen und historischer Forschung. Betrachtet wird vornehmlich die Rolle des Archivs in dieser Konstellation, die in Zeiten einer umfassenden digitalen Transformation als Schicksalsgemeinschaft beschrieben wird. Das „Funktionieren“ der Archivierung als gesellschaftlicher Kulturtechnik hängt nicht alleine von den Archiven ab: Aus dem Unterlagenanfall der Verwaltung bildet das Archiv exklusiv die Überlieferung, die der Geschichtswissenschaft zur Interpretation der Vergangenheit zur Verfügung steht. Durch die Digitalisierung als gesamtgesellschaftliche Dynamik sehen die Autoren dieses traditionelle Zusammenspiel zwischen den drei Bereichen auf neue wie besondere Weise herausgefordert: Ausgangspunkt ist die Frage nach den Überlieferungsbedingungen (Rahmenbedingungen) für Unterlagen des „digitalen Zeitalters“, konkret für genuin digitale Überlieferung: Was bleibt vom digitalen Zeitalter an dokumentierter Information – abhängig vom Entstehungskontext in der Verwaltung – erhalten und wie kann diese archivierte Information interpretiert werden? Smart Government, digitale Archivierung und digital humanities verändern die Ausgangsposition jedes dieser drei Bereiche auf eine Weise, die Archivierung letztendlich nicht mehr als von den Archiven allein zu erbringende Eigenleistung gelingen lässt. Für die Sicherstellung einer qualitativ hochwertigen und aussagekräftigen Überlieferungsbildung im digitalen Zeitalter ist es notwendig, dass in allen drei angesprochenen Bereichen eine Reflexion über die jeweilige Rolle im beschriebenen Beziehungsdreieck erfolgt und sich der Austausch untereinander etabliert bzw. intensiviert: Im Zentrum des Dreiecks kann sich so ein „Archivieren-Wollen“ im digitalen Zeitalter manifestieren, dass die genuin digitale Überlieferung nicht von einem fatalen Überlieferungszufall abhängig macht.
On the Interplay Between Boundary Work and Organizational Context
Authors: Hjort-Enemark Emmy , Meier Ninna , Hald Andreas Nielsen 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
There is a growing interest in deepening our understanding of variations in professionals’ boundary work. How healthcare professionals work to change or maintain power and practice domains is embedded in their efforts to collaborate across organizational and professional boundaries. Drawing on a comparative interview study from the Danish eldercare sector, we explore how nurses and care workers in two different organizational contexts articulate their boundary work strategies. Our findings illustrate ways in which organizational context may influence boundary work. In one organizational context, nurses and care workers worked from separate functional units and had limited opportunities for interactions to collaborate and build trust across professional boundaries. This was linked to competitive boundary work strategies. In the other organizational context, nurses and care workers worked together in integrated units, providing opportunities to build trustful relationships and familiarity with each other. This was linked to collaborative boundary work strategies. Furthermore, we found that boundary work was not only influenced by the organizational context but also influenced the organizational context in return. The nurses in the functional units defended and created new boundaries that hindered engagement in collaborative-oriented strategies. Our study contributes by demonstrating how elements of the organizational context can influence boundary work through relational aspects, while boundary work, in turn, can influence the organizational context. This suggests an interplay between organizational context and boundary work that resembles a reciprocal relationship, potentially differing from previous assumptions in the boundary work literature. This interplay may help us better understand variations in professionals’ boundary work.
