Political Aspects of Digitalization and Networking of the State
Authors: Ivanov D. Yu. , Volkov V. A. 
Published: November 2023

The digitalization of the state is the object of close scientific discourse, especially in terms of the implementation of administrative reforms and the description of the storyline of the formation and development of new tools and forms in modern public administration. A meaningful analysis of an extensive layer of scientific publications shows that the digitalization of the state has acquired a mostly problematic connotation. It is worth fixing a significant lack of theoretical research regarding the comprehension and comparative analysis of international experience, as well as identifying trends in the development of state digitalization processes, which allow finding the keys to the most complete study of this phenomenon in the public administration system. The purpose of the article is to answer the question about the role, factors and trends of digitalization of the state in the context of international and Russian experience. Based on the conceptualization of the new public management, the authors analyze how exactly the phenomenon of digitalization is built into the modern model of political governance and what forms and characteristics it acquires. As a result, it is proposed to focus the attention of researchers on the institutional nature of the digitalization of the state, since it is political institutions that are the sources, mediators and main beneficiaries of digitalization processes.

Published: November 2023

The present study was carried out at the instructional farm, College of Agriculture, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Farm Gate, Kalna Road, Burdwan Sadar, West Bengal, India for successive 2 terms of crop during kharif (June to September, 2020) and rabi (December to March, 2020–21). The bio-efficacy of some chemicals (Cyantraniliprole, Chlorantraniliprole, Emamectin benzoate, Flubendiamide, Spinosad, Emamectin benzoate, Broflanilide, Chlorfenapyr, Spinetoram and Teflubenzuron) and bio-pesticides (Bacillus thuringiensis var kurstaki, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Azadirachtin and Steinernema sp.) were evaluated against Fall Army Worm (FAW) in corn at the field condition. The major parameters considered for comparing the treatments were based on percent reduction in larval population, leaf damage (%) followed by headonic scoring (0–9 scale) and attack intensity (%). All the chemical insecticides except teflubenzuron resulted more or less higher percent population reduction of FAW larva (75.39–89.17%), lower leaf damage (20.13–31.21%) along with low damage score (1.45–1.95) and lower attack intensity (3.03–6.09%). All these effects were at moderate range in case of bio-pesticides. Based on the present findings, better selection of suitable insecticides is possible to manage FAW in corn.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Creating the competitiveness of voivodeships is a difficult and complicated process; the effect is a specific competitive position against the background of compared regions. This study complements the literature on the subject and presents a new perspective that presents a fuller and more comprehensive range of determinants influencing the level of competitiveness of territorial units, thanks to the use of the components of the European Regional Competitiveness Index (RCI) and the European Social Progress Index (EU SPI). The study carried out a comparative analysis of the RCI and the EU SPI of territorial units of Central and Eastern Europe in 2016–2020, and as a supplement to the cluster analysis, used the Ward method. The research results prove that territorial units in Central and Eastern Europe were characterized by a lower level of competitiveness and social progress compared to regions in Northwestern Europe. Between the regions of countries of Central and Eastern Europe, there was also a visible spatial differentiation of competitiveness between individual units. Cluster analysis facilitated the selection of regions and the identification of units that were internally and homogeneously consistent. This made it possible to select leaders among the regions of the above-mentioned regions. countries with a relatively high competitive position compared to the others, including the regions of the Czech Republic and Poland.
Dense Scene Flow Estimation with the GVF Snake Model for Obstacle Detection Using a 3D Sensor in the Path-Planning Module

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe novel framework for estimating dense scene flow using depth camera data is demonstrated in the article. Using these estimated flow vectors to identify obstacles improves the path planning module of the autonomous vehicle's (AV) intelligence. The primary difficulty in the development of AVs has been thought to be path planning in cluttered environments. These vehicles must possess the intelligence to recognize their surroundings and successfully navigate around obstacles. The AV needs a thorough understanding of the surroundings to detect and avoid obstacles in a cluttered environment. Therefore, when determining the course, it is preferable to be aware of the kinematic behavior (position and the direction) of the obstacles. As a result, by comparing the depth images between different time frames, the position and direction of the obstacles are calculated using a 3D vision sensor. The current study focuses on the extraction of the flow vectors in 3D coordinates from the differential scene flow method. Generally, the evaluation of scene flow algorithms is crucial in determining their accuracy and effectiveness in different applications. The gradient of the vector field snake model, which extracts changes in pixel values in three directions, is combined with the scene flow technique to identify both static and dynamic obstacles. Our goal is to create a single-vision sensor-based real-time obstacle avoidance method based on scene flow estimation. In addition, the common evaluation metrics such as endpoint error (EPE), average angular error (AAE), and standard deviation angular error (STDAE) are used to measure the accuracy of different algorithms in terms of computational errors with the benchmark Middlebury datasets. The proposed technique is validated with different experiments using a Pixel-Mixed-Device (PMD) camera and a Kinect sensor as 3D sensors. Finally, the numerical and experimental results are displayed and reported.
The genetic variability of small-ruminant lentiviruses and its impact on tropism, the development of diagnostic tests and vaccines and the effectiveness of control programmes
Authors: Olech Monika 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Introduction
Maedi-visna virus and caprine arthritis encephalitis virus are two closely related lentiviruses which cause multisystemic, progressive and persistent infection in goats and sheep. Because these viruses frequently cross the species barrier, they are considered to be one genetic group called small-ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV). They have in vivo tropism mainly for monocytes and macrophages and organ tropism with unknown mechanisms. Typical clinical signs are pneumonia in sheep, arthritis in goats, and mastitis in both species. Infection with SRLV cannot currently be treated or prevented, and control programmes are the only approaches to avoiding its spread. These programmes rely mainly on annual serological testing and elimination of positive animals. However, the high genetic and antigenic variability of SRLV complicate their early and definitive diagnosis. The objective of this review is to summarise the current knowledge of SRLV genetic variation and its implications for tropism, the development of diagnostic tests and vaccines and the effectiveness of control and eradication programmes.

Material and Methods
Subject literature was selected from the PubMed and the Google Scholar databases.

Results
The high genetic diversity of SRLV affects the performance of diagnostic tools and therefore control programmes. For the early and definitive diagnosis of SRLV infection, a combination of serological and molecular tests is suggested. Testing by PCR can also be considered for sub-yearling animals. There are still significant gaps in our knowledge of the epidemiology, immunology and biology of SRLV and their impact on animal production and welfare.

Conclusion
This information may aid selection of the most effective SRLV spread reduction measures.

Abstract

Introduction
The molecular contamination of an animal facility was investigated during and after an infection with highly pathogenic African swine fever virus (ASFV) among domestic pigs. The investigation evaluated the risk of indirect transmission of the disease and indicated points that may facilitate cleaning and disinfection processes.

Material and Methods
Six domestic pigs were infected oronasally with the highly pathogenic Georgia 2007 strain. Environmental samples from the floors, walls, rubber floor mats, feeders, drinkers, high-efficiency particulate-absorbing filter covers and doors were collected 7 days post infection (dpi), 7 days later and 24 h after disinfection of the facility. The samples were investigated by real-time PCR and in vitro assays to find genetic traces of ASFV and infectious virus.

Results
Typical clinical outcomes for ASF (i.e. fever, apathy, recumbency and bloody diarrhoea) were observed, and all animals died or required euthanasia before or at 9 dpi. No infectious virus was found in environmental samples at the sampling time points. Genetic traces of ASFV were found in all locations except the doors. The initial virus load was calculated using real-time PCR threshold cycle values and was the highest at the drain. A statistically significant decrease of virus load over time was found on non-porous surfaces mechanically cleaned by water (the floor and drain).

Conclusion
The gathered data confirmed different routes of virus excretion (oral and nasal, faeces and urine, and aerosol) and showed virus locations and different initial concentrations in the animal facility. Maintaining the facility with mechanical cleaning and using personal protection (gloves) and hand disinfection may efficiently minimise the risk of further virus spread. Together with the results of previously published studies, the present investigations’ failure to isolate infectious virus may suggest that if stable environmental conditions are assured, the time needed before the introduction of new herds into previously ASF-affected farm facilities could be shortened and in this way the economic losses caused by the disease outbreak mitigated.

Abstract
Nowadays, the pace of social and economic development is constantly growing, which has led to many negative effects. In order to stop this negative impact, reference should be made to the assumptions of sustainable development (SD), and young people – Generation Z – should be considered its main promoters. The main objective of this article is to present Generation Z’s perception of sustainable development in Poland. A Computer-assisted web interviewing survey (CAWI, N=1172) was conducted to understand the basic demographics, general issues, SD in a daily context, and SD-related knowledge in 936 cities of Poland. The results have shown that Generation Z in Poland recognises the social and inclusive role of SD. Cost of commodities, social disparities and conflict, and disrupted economic growth were identified as the emerging challenges for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Polish cities.

Abstract
In medicine, bismuth is used as an antimicrobial agent. In dentistry, it is used primarily to increase radiopacity in some endodontic materials. The objective is to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, cell viability, pH, solubility, film thickness, and setting time of a mineral trioxide aggregated (MTA)-types of cement with different concentrations of bismuth trioxide. Three experimental MTA-types of cement with a bismuth trioxide (Bi2O3) concentration of 15 wt%, 20 wt%, and 25 wt% were used. The antimicrobial activity test was conducted on Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis strains. Cell viability was measured by the quantitative colorimetric assay using the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay on a mouse fibroblast cell line (L929). Solubility, film thickness, and setting time were performed according to ISO 6876. The lowest Bi2O3 concentrations showed the best antimicrobial activity and cell viability. pH, solubility, setting time, and film thickness did not show statistically significant differences between the different Bi2O3 concentrations tested.

Published: November 2023

Analisis perilaku fisik maupun mekanik komposit polimer yang sering ditampilkan oleh para peneliti lebih banyak didasarkan pada kondisi lingkungan normal. Sementara penggunaan material komposit seringkali berada pada situasi yang tidak normal atau agresif seperti kelembaban dan temperatur yang selalu berubah. Artikel ini membahas mengenai bagaimana pengaruh lingkungan agresif terhadap sifat fisik dan mekanik komposit polimer epoksi yang diperkuat dengan serat sisal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen yang datanya dianalisis lebih lanjut secara deskripstif. Pengujian sifat fisik dilakukan dengan cara mengukur perubahan berat selama masa ekspose pada lingkungan agresif. Sementara sifat mekanik komposit ditinjau dari dua parameter; perilaku tarik dan lentur. Pengujian kuat tarik dilakukan berdasarkan standar ASTM D-3039 dan uji lentur berdasarkan standar ASTM D790, dengan pembebanan menyesuaikan dengan ketentuan pada standar. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Lingkungan agresif akan memperlemah sifat fisik komposit. Hasil pengukuran perubahan berat komposit mengindikasikan bahwa semua komposit yang diekspose pada 3 jenis lingkungan agresif mengalami pengurangan berat setelah diekspose selama 8 minggu. Selanjutnya sifat mekanik komposit akan mengalami degradasi apabila diekspose pada lingkungan yang agresif. Kuat tarik dan modulus tarik lebih tinggi dimiliki oleh komposit yang tidak diekspose; dengan kuat tarik sebesar 46,165 MPa dan modulus elastisitas tarik sebesar 1742,606 MPa. Kuat tarik terendah ditemukan pada komposit yang diekspose pada ruang terbuka, sebesar 14,628 MPa, dan modulus elastisitas terendah ditemukan pada komposit yang diekspose dengan cara ditanam, yakni sebesar 1502, 277 MPa. Temuan yang senada diperlihatkan pada perilaku lentur komposit. Tegangan dan modulus elastistas lentur tertinggi dimiliki oleh komposit kontrol yang tidak diekspose pada lingkungan agresif, sebesar 83,728 MPa dan 3397,5 MPa. Kuat lentur terendah dimiliki oleh komposit yang diekspose dengan cara ditanam (30,607 MPa), sementara modulus elastisitas terendam dimiliki oleh komposit yang diekspose pada ruangan terbuka, yakni sebesar 3397,5 MPa.
