Pioneering Museum Data Transformation: Unifying Legacy Systems and Enhancing Data Integrity

In the digital era, museums confront the challenge of modernising legacy data systems to align with current standards. Part of the RECODE (Rethinking Collections Data Ecosystems) Programme (Dupont et al. 2022) examines the complex transition from disparate departmental object models to a unified system, reflecting the broader museum community's struggle with data standardisation. The case study centres on consolidating five distinct data models accumulated over two decades, each tailored to different departmental needs under various constraints. The data mapping process identifies and aligns similar fields across models, facilitating the integration of analogous data points and exposing redundancies and unique practices embedded over years. Major challenges include data complexity, diversity, and quality issues (cleaning, standardizing, and deduplicating), compounded by the massive scale of the data: currently, the Natural History Museum London (NHM) has 262,831,590 records across 8,175 fields, and a total volume of 12 TB of data, which define both the ongoing data modelling work and our future data migration. A key innovation in our process is the immediate visibility of data issues that became apparent upon migrating to Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS serves as the staging environment for our transition to the new NHM Collections Management System (CMS) and offers an unprecedented platform for directly addressing these challenges. It enables us to query all our data—across all departments and fields—in just seconds. This capability provides a comprehensive view that was previously unattainable. The core of this presentation is sharing "lessons learned" from navigating the intricacies of an ongoing CMS transition within a museum. The endeavor to untangle and unify diverse data models is a common challenge (IEEE Big Data Governance and Metadata Management Industry Connections Activity 2020,Wu et al. 2022, Wu et al. 2021,Little et al. 2022,Woodburn et al. 2022) highlighting the importance of community engagement and knowledge exchange. Our findings underscore the necessity of cross-departmental collaboration and the benefits of a data-driven data modelling approach. By sharing our journey and the developed comprehensive object model (Collier and Woodburn 2022), we aim to contribute valuable insights to museums undergoing similar transformations. The RECODE Programme sheds light on the practical aspects of CMS modernisation through the analytics and knowledge derived from over two decades of collections data and data use.

China’s defence semiconductor industrial base in an age of globalisation: Cross-strait dynamics and regional security implications

ABSTRACT The globalisation of semiconductor production has helped China improve its defence microelectronics capability. By analysing primary and secondary data, this paper examines semiconductor globalisation across the Taiwan Strait and shows the flow of resources from Taiwan to its Chinese counterparts linked to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). This flow of resources has improved the PLA’s capabilities, including for Trojan Horse attacks, and affected security dynamics in the Sino-US-Taiwan relationship. This paper sheds fresh light on an understudied aspect of PLA modernisation and contributes to the study of the globalisation-security nexus and pertinent policy debates.

Changes in the Naming Patterns of Javanese Proper Names in Solo, Central Java

This paper presents the description of the pattern of Javanese proper names in Solo, Central Java both traditional and modern. Javanese names in general have their own uniqueness and are very easily recognized by the common Indonesian people if we look deeper, it turns out that Javanese names have a pattern like Balinese names. The pattern here is that the first child's name usually begins with the word Eko or Eka; second child Dwi; third Tri; fourth Catur; fifth Panca or Ponco and sixth Sapto or Sapta. With the changing times, this pattern of names is rarely used anymore. Today's child names are heavily influenced by English and Arabic words. This research uses Grounded Research method of qualitative approach, descriptive-analytic type, phenomenological strategy. This activity was carried out in Solo or Surakarta, Central Java. The research took place in January 2023. The population of this research is the people of Solo, Central Java. The sample of this research amounted to 8,842 names in the Solo or Surakarta area. The results of this study indicate that the naming system of proper names in Solo culture, both traditional and modern, has changed. This is viewed from the aspects of modernization, religion, culture, and the situation when the baby is born.

Menyelami Dampak Modernisasi Pesantren (Antara Kebutuhan dan Tuntutan)

Islamic boarding schools as one of the oldest education that was born and grew and developed in Indonesia has a very important role, both for the advancement of Islamic education and for the Indonesian nation. In the history of Indonesia's struggle for independence, pesantren was one of the spearheads in fighting the colonialists. However, nowadays, pesantren are better understood as a group that only studies religion and classical books, so that for general knowledge they are considered behind. The world of students is also sometimes still considered a closed or exclusive world so that it is considered backward in the face of the development of the modern world. Society views that the times have developed towards the era of globalization, so pesantren are required to be able to adjust to these changes, so that after graduating from pesantren, students are not only experts in the field of religion but are able to adjust to the times. With these demands, modern pesantren emerged that included many aspects of modernization, for example including information technology or the freedom of access to social media. Based on this presentation, the author is interested in examining whether the entry of modernity into pesantren is an advance or a threat, so the purpose of this study is to see the extent to which modernity affects teaching in pesantren. This research uses qualitative research methods with a literature model. The stages in analyzing data are doing it by reducing data, presenting data and drawing conclusions.

ACTUAL ASPECTS OF MODERNIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION OF MILITARY PERSONNEL OF THE DEFENSE FORCES IN THE PERIOD OF MARTIAL LAW

The study updates the aspects of modernization of military education in Ukraine, which is determined by the military and political situation in the country, the need to increase the efficiency of the defense forces and the Armed Forces, reforming the national legislative framework for the professional training of military personnel in the context of joining the standards of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
 The purpose of the article is to find out the social need for joint professional training of military personnel of the defense forces (the Armed Forces, law enforcement units, units of the State Border Service, the National Guard, the Security Service of Ukraine, etc.) and the possibilities of implementing its objectives by means of building integration models and technologies of the educational process.
 The research has been conducted using the following theoretical methods: systematic analysis, comparison, induction and deduction, and usage of the methodological and theoretical tools of the competence-based scientific approach.
 The following conclusions have been made: taking into account the integration processes of the field of military education in Ukraine, related to the liberation war and the country’s entry into the international security environment, the tasks caused by the modernization of the military education system are crucial. They must take into account the experience of a modern full-scale war, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National the Guard of Ukraine and the State Border Service perform joint defense functions. It means that they need specialists who directly participate in defense and stabilization operations and have the appropriate professional competence.
 At the same time, the lack of a united content system of professional military education and training, which contributes to the establishment of cooperation between the components of the defense forces within the framework of the implementation of tasks to ensure the defense of the state, is a particular problem. It has a negative impact on the interaction of the defense forces in the process of fulfilling the tasks provided for by the legislation. Therefore, the development of models of continuous education of military personnel for implementation by all law enforcement agencies in order to improve the quality of training of the social group of military professionals vital for the country is determined to be promising.

The system of continuous design education in Ukraine in the context of higher education modernization

Continuous education is characterized by a constantly evolving complex of innovative pedagogical knowledge presented in the context of modernizing higher education in Ukraine. It has determined the relevance of the proposed research. The article aims to establish the effectiveness of introducing a range of educational components of continuous design education into pedagogical courses, perceived as innovations in education, to identify the problems of motivation and integration of the idea of continuous design education into the professional activities of educators. Several planning aspects of education modernization have been identified (attitude of educators towards innovation, anxious use of innovation in design education, external difficulties in introducing innovation in continuous education, innovative pedagogical practices, and readiness for modernization of design education in the higher education space). The study conducted comprehensive research, applying the method of pedagogical experiment. Surveys, observation, and experimental methods were used to diagnose the effectiveness of modernizing design education among educators in this field. The central hypothesis is that continuous courses in design education and self-education activities related to innovations in university education actively contribute to the popularization of continuous education in creative sectors of the national economy and anticipate their integration into the teaching activities of higher education staff. This research proves that programs of continuous training of specialists in design education and educational courses associated with innovation are effective and make it possible to use innovation in their professional practice. Further perspective is to investigate the development of continuous education in the territory of Ukrainian higher education.

Kazakhstan’s Society Modernization in Response to the 21st Century Global Challenges: The Material Aspect and the Shifting Discourse Issue

The purpose of this study is to examine the current aspects of former Soviet society modernization in the context of global challenges of the 21st century. The study uses Kazakhstan as an example. The primary focus of this paper is on the comparative analysis of the global dynamics of economic development trends regarding OECD and Kazakhstan. The study’s methodology entails a historiographical analysis of recent works on modernization issues in contemporary societies. Modernization is seen as a part of the complicated process of the world becoming more global as the capitalist system changes. Modernization phenomena are analyzed quantitatively and phenomenologically within the framework of the research methodology. The study used a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze statistical data on economic development in Kazakhstan. The applied quantitative analysis techniques constructed a regression model of modernization prospects based on the factor of labour productivity and gross savings. Qualitative interpretations in this study were based on phenomenological and analytical approaches in the philosophical sciences. This study focused on a new theory of modernization that views it from the perspective of social acceleration and the pursuit of sustainability in the protection of traditional spirituality within the context of modernization. In practice, this model enables the exploration of various modernization trajectories. It will be useful in the creation of the corresponding state development programmes of Kazakhstan. In this way, the spiritual modernization of society will help build a work ethic, an economy based on knowledge and innovation, a social consensus, and a space where people from different backgrounds can live together.

The assuring of rights of of medical workers within the framework of modernization of primary health care legislation

The more active implementation of innovative medical technologies, digital transformation in medical sphere, sanction restrictions resulted in complication of already existed problems in medical law and raised new questions. The necessity in improving medical legislation is obvious. The number of lawsuits concerning medical organizations and medical workers is invariably increasing. Hence request of adoption of normative legal regulations and decisions supporting effective functioning of industry and protection of rights and interests of medical organizations and medical workers. The purpose of the research is to study and to analyze current issues of ensuring rights of medical workers as one of the main aspects of modernization of modern medical law.

MAIN METHODS OF STUDYING HYBRID CONFLICTS (USING THE BIBLIOMETRIC DATA OF THE SCOPUS SYSTEM)

In this article, the main focus is on the disclosure of the main methods of researching hybrid conflicts, in particular on the example of bibliometric data of the Scopus system using the quantitative and qualitative method of research – content analysis. In modern scientific discourse, the term “hybrid conflict” is considered as contradictions between state and non-state, as well as terrorist groups, unfortunately, therefore, the challenges facing Ukraine have not received a thorough scientific study. To verify our statements, we used the method of bibliometric analysis using the Scopus system, indicating the insufficiency of in-depth research on the essence and features of hybrid conflicts in the scientific literature. The analysis shows a significant number of documents, which emphasizes the relevance of the topic. The paper analyzes the frequency of use of the term "hybrid conflicts" using content analysis and highlighting its features. The authors also point out the lack of a well-established definition and reflection of the term in international legal documents, which allows taking into account the aspects of modernization in understanding and researching this topic.

The Expression of the Country’s Modernisation in the Context of Economic Environmental Sustainability: The Case of Lithuania

In order to develop broader scientific discussions, the authors analyze a contemporary social phenomenon in the field of sustainability—the modernisation of the country in order to preserve the ecosystem, emphasizing one of the most important aspects of modernisation—the context of economic environmental sustainability. Underscoring the importance of this study, the research problem was identified by answering the questions of how the modernisation of the country manifests itself in the context of economic environmental sustainability and what are the consequences for the society. This article examines the factors behind the country’s modernisation through the lens of its citizens. The purpose is to analyze the development of modernisation in Lithuania from the perspective of a sustainable economic environment and to form a complex system of indicators for the formation of an effective governance of a modern country. The paper is based on a quantitative empirical study to support the structural perspective of modernisation of the country, to justify an integrated system of indicators for the formation of a modern country following an analysis of the country’s modernisation trends in terms of the economic environment. The scientific value of the study: the presents paper investigates the main determinants of economic environmental sustainability of the country (effectiveness of digitalisation, infrastructure, environment, and interoperability of natural resources); behavior in line with environmental trends of the EU and subjective factors (interest in opportunities and benefits of renewable energy) was investigated; provides a methodological framework for the methods used (descriptive statistics, factor analysis (FA) and path analysis (PA). A representative cross-sectional survey of 1015 respondents are selected as main research tool. Lithuania (Case Study) served as an empirical basis for the research.

Public Management and legal Support of Economic Modernization of Society

"The article considers the key features of economic modernization of society in the Industry 4.0 era, as well as legal support of this modernization and appropriate implications for public management. Theoretical aspects of modernization and regional peculiarities are covered. It is shown that the vectors of public management and legal support of economic modernization of society should be multifactorial and have sufficient flexibility for quick direction modifications if necessary. The emergence of convergence of governmental and non-governmental “legal systems”, derived from digital platforms is noted, and it is suggested that for enabling effective and economic security-based legal support of society’ economic modernization, the law must today “learn”, developing within the digital environment and digital society."

Income Status, Perceived Equity of Income Distribution and Political Participation

Popular political participation is an essential aspect of political modernization. Existing studies have focused on institutional political participation, such as voting in elections, and have primarily explained political participation from objective perspectives, such as income status. However, there has been some neglect of non-institutional political participation. In studies affecting political participation, subjective perceptions of the equity of income distribution and their interaction with income have yet to receive sufficient attention. Based on this, this paper uses data from the fourth round (2014-2016) of the 2016 Asian Barometer (ABS) survey to analyze the impact of income status and perceived equity of income distribution on political participation and the mechanisms of their effects through multiple regressions. The results indicate that income and perceived equity of income distribution have a positive effect on institutional political participation; in terms of impact mechanisms, income status and perceived equity of income distribution affect institutionalized political participation by influencing government satisfaction and political trust; subjective perceptions of equity of income distribution influence institutional political participation behavior more than income inequality; the paper concludes by applying social capital theory to explain the finding that income status and perceived income distribution equity are positively associated with non-institutionalized political participation in terms of the participant path and the dominant path.

Proposing a multi-jurisdictional framework for 3D digital cadastre in Australia and New Zealand

Recent studies in Australia and New Zealand have explored various technological, legal, and institutional aspects of 3D cadastre modernisation. The majority of these studies concentrate on a single jurisdiction. The reason is that each jurisdiction is in charge of its own cadastral system. As a result, each jurisdiction's standards, rules, and processes for implementing 3D digital cadastre are unique. In Australia and New Zealand, however, the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) has established national frameworks for cadastral systems. To implement 3D digital cadastre at a national level, it is vital to identify the variations and commonalities across existing cadastral systems. Comparisons of 3D cadastre for several civil law countries as well as international standards have been undertaken in the present literature. However, common law jurisdictions such as Australian states and New Zealand have not been compared in terms of 3D cadastre. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to propose a multi-jurisdictional framework that includes variations and commonalities in the current methods adopted for subdividing ownership of vertically placed properties in order to support 3D digital cadastre in all Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions. The proposed framework comprises four layers: definition, core, interoperability and jurisdictional. This framework would potentially serve as a starting point for building a nationally integrated digital data ecosystem for 3D cadastre in Australia and New Zealand.

Prospects for the Use of Renewable Energy Sources while Increasing the Energy Efficiency Level of Office Buildings to the Level of nZEB

According to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), all new buildings must be constructed using technologies that will ensure almost zero energy consumption by the building through renewable energy sources and an energy-efficient thermal envelope. To assess the possibilities of reconstructing an existing building following the requirements of the EPBD in Ukraine, we have presented possible ways to modernise an office in Kyiv using renewable energy sources (biomass, heat pump) at different levels of thermal protection. Based on dynamic modelling results in the DesignBuilder software environment, the technical, environmental and economic aspects of building modernisation using near-Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) technologies have been investigated. In particular, the authors have analysed the possibilities of using different modes of heat pump operation to provide heat to a building of different levels of thermal protection in the GeoTSOL software environment. The results obtained can be used to assess the benefits of improving the energy efficiency of a building using different types of renewable energy sources.

ДВУХСТОРОННИЙ МЕТОД ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЯ МЕСТА ОДНОФАЗНОГО ЗАМЫКАНИЯ НА ЗЕМЛЮ В СЕТЯХ С ИЗОЛИРОВАННОЙ НЕЙТРАЛЬЮ

Relevance Currently, on the part of enterprises operating 6–35 kV distribution networks, there is a request for a deep modernization of networks and the transformation of existing, outdated networks into digital ones. A separate aspect of modernization is the introduction of high-precision measuring devices and new principles of data transmission. At the same time, the probability of damage for various reasons remains. Single-phase earth faults in networks with isolated neutral are still the most common problem in distribution networks that do not have universal solutions. The problem is particularly acute with determining the location of single-phase earth faults. The opportunities provided by the introduction of digital networks can become the basis for the implementation of new algorithms for relay protection and determining the location of damage. Aim of research The article considers, developed by the authors, a two-way method for determining the location of damage in single-phase earth faults according to the parameters of the emergency mode when installing current transformers in all three phases. The two-way method of determining the location of damage is based on the use of zero-sequence currents and voltages, which are determined by calculation for phase current and voltage differences at the beginning and end of the line. The algorithm is focused on digital electrical networks equipped with high-precision measuring transformers and a communication channel. To calculate the parameters of the zero sequence, the differences of the phase emergency parameters at the beginning and at the end of the line are used. Research methods To develop and study a two-way method for determining the location of damage in single-phase earth faults, the principle of superposition in combination with the method of symmetrical components was used. Decomposition of three-phase currents and voltages into symmetrical components is a linear procedure. Therefore, the zero-sequence current in a three-phase line, in accordance with the superposition principle, can be represented as the sum of three zero-sequence currents, each of which is determined by one of the phase currents at zero values of phase currents in the other two phases. This application of the method of symmetric components is valid only for purely emergency values of phase currents. Therefore, in advance, the load current must be excluded from the phase currents of the emergency mode. Results It is shown that the use of the method of symmetric components for single-phase earth faults separately for the damaged phase and undamaged phases makes it possible to determine the zero-sequence current at the site of damage and the intrinsic zero sequence current of the damaged line. It is shown that this separation of the zero-sequence current makes it possible to distinguish two components of the zero sequence in the voltage difference at the ends of the line. Based on the allocation of two components in the current and voltage of the zero sequence, an algorithm for two-way determination of the damage location has been developed, which allows determining the distance to a single-phase earth fault in networks with an isolated neutral. To study the two-way method of determining the location of damage, a network model and a device for determining the location of damage were implemented in the MATLAB Simulink software package. A functional diagram of a two - way damage location detection device is presented. The performed studies on the model of the electrical network have shown the high accuracy of the proposed algorithm for determining the location of damage.

THE IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOCIO-CULTURAL EVOLUTION OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES

The determining factor of socio-cultural transformation is industrial and economic modernization, which changes the structure of the world economy as a whole. The leading trend in the development of civilization is the desire for uniformity, which leads to the need to analyze the combination, correlation, interaction of “modernized” and “traditional” forms of development of local communities.
 The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of the processes of production and economic modernization on the modification of sociocultural development, to determine the relationships and interdependencies of the economy, culture and sociality, to identify cause-and-effect relationships and trends in the evolution of the sociocultural sphere.
 Materials and methods. The study of the processes of production, economic and socio-cultural transformation within the framework of a polyparadigm approach allows using a set of research paradigms, within which various aspects of modernization are considered. The civilizational approach makes it possible to explain the problem of correlation, interaction of general civilizational universals and local specifics.
 Results. The article shows that the main trends in the production, economic and socio-cultural development of local communities are formed under the influence of internal and external factors. Modification of the production and economic sphere contributes to the evolution of culture and sociality, determines the structure of the life of local communities, forms a new system of diverse processes of activity. There are destructive tendencies leading to the disintegration of the integrity of the socio-cultural space, a decrease in the stabilizing potential of the traditional way of local communities, followed by pauperization and marginalization of a significant part of the population. The diversification of production and economic activities contributes to the modification of the socio-cultural way of life, the transition from the paradigm of maintaining the stability of traditions to the paradigm of innovative changes.
 Practical implications. The results can be used for further research into the processes of sociocultural development and in the process of teaching social disciplines.
