Integracja koncepcji niebiesko-zielonej infrastruktury jako narzędzie wspierania interdyscyplinarnego planowania Zrównoważonych Miast

Currently, there is a tendency to apply nature-based landscape components as an important element in decentralised stormwater management, an essential part of sustainable urban development. The term blue-green infrastructure (BGI) is now used for many planning solutions of sustainable cities. Using thematic analysis of 27 studies and documents between 20062019, we identified 6 types of approaches to BGI. We then reclassified the six observed approaches into three basic categories of conceptual approaches to BGI. We distinguished four basic guidelines for the development of science and practice, aimed at promoting of an integrated concept of BGI to support multidisciplinary planning of sustainable cities. Based on the benefits of BGI presented in studies and documents, we show the importance of BGI from the perspective of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

You Don’t Fool Me: On Scams, Scambaiting, Deception, and Epistemological Ambiguity at R/scambait on Reddit

With a focus on the online phenomena of scamming and scambaiting, this article explores users’ communicative activities on Reddit’s r/scambait subreddit. Drawing on a representative corpus viewed through grounded theory, we establish the basic categories of posts and then unpack those further to reveal the deceptive practices being undertaken by both scammers and scambaiters, as well as Redditors’ untruthfulness in their fabricated posts. The analysis reveals that the r/scambait subreddit exists as a site of humorous entertainment arising from various forms of deception. Scammers’ deceptive strategies are depicted as amusingly naïve and inefficient, while scambaiters’ deceptive messages targeted at scammers demonstrate great creativity and wittiness. In both cases, scammer-victims are disparaged for being immensely gullible or downright stupid; and Redditors earn online plaudits for submitting the most upvoted posts. Our significant finding is that posts such as those at r/scambait should never be taken at face value due to their inherent epistemological ambiguity, to which the users choose to remain oblivious or indifferent. Furthermore, on a general plane, this study indicates a potential shift in the emic understanding of the concept of “scambaiting” from a punitive measure and an educational instrument to a creative practice geared toward posters’ kudos and users’ joint humorous experience through “baitertainment” and “scamusement.”

COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND PRODUCTION INFORMATION SUPPORT

Information support for modern computer-aided design of products and processes is considered in this review in accordance with the methodology of the integrated CAD/CAM/CAE system. Three levels of the management hierarchy at the design and produc-tion stages are considered.At the top (organizational) level, computer-aided design of the product structure and its manufacturing technology is performed. At the middle (coordinating) level, a binding to existing technological equipment and debugging of indi-vidual fragments of the control program are performed. At the lower (executive) level, the control program is finally created, de-bugged and executed. A distinctive feature of the proposed automation methodology at the design and production stages is the use of feedback from the lower level to the middle and upper levels to correct the decisions made there, taking into account the existing management powers at these levels of the hierarchy. Thus, the indicated levels of the hierarchy of the intelligent system correspond to the hierarchy of objects and subjects of management and control, taking into account the powers (and capabilities) of management and control at each level.Information is a basic category not only in information (virtual) technologyfor its transformation and transmission, but also in physical technologyof material production in the manufacture of a corresponding material product. Such technologyas a rule, contain preparatory (pre-production) and executive (implementation) stages. At the preparatory stage, a virtual product is created (an information model of a real product in the form of virtual reality), and at the executive stage, a real (physical) product appears that has a use value (possession utility). This research describes the features of information processing at both stages of production in order to increase its efficiency.

Zmierzch mistrzów i brzask bożyszcz. Ojca Bocheńskiego teoria autorytetu

Zjawisko autorytetu należy do zjawisk najważniejszych w życiu społecznym, a jego pojęcie do najtrudniejszych w teoretycznym ujęciu. Na tle obszernej literatury przedmiotu wyróżnia się niezrównana rozprawa ojca Jana Marii Bocheńskiego Co to jest autorytet? z roku 1974. Autor daje w niej 88 tez z metafizyki człowieka, charakteryzujących autorytet.Teza główna głosi, że „każdy autorytet jest autorytetem epistemicznym albo deontycznym”. Teza ta jest wątpliwa, lecz wywody Bocheńskiego niezwykle jasne – stwarzające w ogóle możliwość budowania teorii autorytetu. Autor niniejszego artykułu twierdzi, że zasadniczy podział autorytetów dzieli je na osobowe i instytucjonalne, te pierwsze zaś rozpadają się na bratnie i sekciarskie. Bratni autorytet osobowy to „miłość wzajemna do osoby, między nierównymi” – kategoria podstawowa, wyróżniona przez Arystotelesa. Jest on zawsze epistemiczno-deontyczny. Jako wzorzec zachowań silnie jest obecny także w Chinach czy Indiach. Bocheński go nie docenił.We współczesnym świecie Zachodu ma miejsce „upadek autorytetów” czy, inaczej mówiąc, „dominują autorytety fałszywe”. Oznacza to, że brakuje autorytetów bratnich, czyli mistrzów, a plenią się autorytety sekciarskie oraz związki typu idol-fan (kwitną „bożyszcza”). Upadek autorytetu jest skutkiem rozwoju technologii, która zasadniczo odmieniła warunki ludzkiego życia, utrudniając rozpoznawanie bratnich dusz.

This is a critical paper inspecting metaphors, the most artistic device, in Mahmoud Darwish's poetry. This research classified metaphors into three basic categories: metaphors of trees and plants such as wheat, metaphors of animals and birds such as butterfly, hoopoe, and dove, and metaphors of concrete and abstract natural elements. This study reports the fact that Darwish was brought up in a rural community. His father was a villager who grew crops for being food secure. Consequently, that rural environment affected the poetry of Darwish through metaphors and symbolism. Thus, it can be concluded that these poetic metaphors are a logic outcome of that rural atmosphere.   Key words: Metaphor, Mahmoud Darwish, resistance literature, nature.

СУЩНОСТЬ ПОНЯТИЯ «ГРУППОВОЙ ПОРТРЕТ» И ТИПОЛОГИЯ ЖАНРА ГРУППОВОГО ПОРТРЕТА

ПОВЕРНЕННЯ СУДОВОГО ЗБОРУ У ЗВ’ЯЗКУ ІЗ ЗАЛИШЕННЯМ ЗАЯВИ БЕЗ РОЗГЛЯДУ В ЦИВІЛЬНОМУ СУДОЧИНСТВІ УКРАЇНИ

The article researches the peculiarities of return of court fees in connection with the completion of a civil case without a court judgement in the form of leaving the application without consideration of legal regulation, analyzes the issues of this institute in judicial practice, and provides suggestions for improving its legal regulation. Attention has been drawn to the fact that since the court fee is one of the basic categories of access to justice, and therefore an element of the right of a person to judicial protection enjoyment, and the need to ensure the balance of interests of the state and the individual in regulating the legal basis of court fees payment, the grounds for the application of this procedural institute must be exhaustive and may not be subject to extended interpretation. Based on the comparative analysis of the legal regulation of the return of court fees institute, and in particular the legislative regulation of such grounds for its application as completion of civil proceedings without a court judgement in the form of leaving the application without consideration, it was found a legislative tendency to reduce the list of the very grounds for leaving the application without consideration, with the use of which the return of court fees is allowed. Examples of jurisprudence in the field of application of each ground of leaving the application without consideration through the prism of the institute of return of court fees have been given. Attention has been drawn to the fact that although in the process of amending the civil procedural legislation, which took place with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Commercial Procedural Code of Ukraine, Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine, Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine and other legislative acts", such grounds as leaving by the plaintiff (his/her representative) of the courtroom was removed from the "general list" of grounds for leaving the application without consideration under Part 1 of Art. 257 CPC of Ukraine, it still exists, because it was left by the legislator in the article governing the consequences of non-appearance at the hearing of the parties (Part 6 of Art. 223 CPC of Ukraine). It has been constituted that item 4 of Part 1 Art. 7 of the Law of Ukraine "On Court Fees" provides the opportunity to return the court fee in case of completion of a civil case without a court judgement in the form of leaving the application without consideration on all grounds except those that constitute exceptions by law, and in particular the grounds established by items 3, 5 and 9 of Part 1 Art. 257 CPC of Ukraine, as well as Part 6 of Art. 223 CPC of Ukraine.

Islam, Liberalism, and Ontology: A Critical Re-evaluation

In responding to the long-drawn debate between Islam and liberalism, Joseph J. Kaminski’s Islam, Liberalism, and Ontology: A Critical Re-evaluation offers two things: first, a critical analysis of the basic categories and constructs that comprise “Islam” and “liberalism” via a clearly defined methodological mode of inquiry; and second, plausible solution to the fundamental clashes between Islam and liberalism. What makes this book even more interesting, instead of taking a “scratch on the surface” approach with a spattering of references and anecdotes, the author dissected Islam and liberalism using ontological inquiry based on the primary and canonical sources. By doing so, he was hopeful that it ultimately serves as a useful asset and contribution for those studying comparative political theory or the relationship between international politics and religion.

On Realizing the Pragmatic Potential of Educational Prescripts

The article analyses the new Federal Educational Standards in Linguistics, the basic regulatory document for higher education which formulates norms and prescriptions with the goal of effective implementation of its objectives and requirements. It is common knowledge that the efficiency of such implementation depends on how accurately these prescripts are worded so that there are no inconsistencies or conflicting interpretations. It means that the authors of these Standards must provide for the optimal transfer, reproduction, and regulation of these prescripts and competencies and thus foresee the pragmatics of the educational discourse. The aim of the study is to identify the extent to which the Educational Standards’ pragmatic potential can be realized. The study is based on the fundamental principles of pragmatics as an instrument for combining ideal formulas with real factors that contribute to their implementation. Using content, discursive, and interpretive analysis, the authors find that there are significant contradictions between the Standards’ prescripts and the feasibility of the required results. One of the reasons for this discrepancy lies in the ambiguity of wording and interpreting of the basic categories and the resulting conflict between overlapping or complementary categories — all of which inevitably leads to differences in how they are perceived. Universities could actualize the educational discourse pragmatic potential much more effectively, if the pragmatic relations and educational objectives were more transparently defined and intercorrelated to finally implement a related pragmatic adaptation regarding types of competencies.

Measurements and geometry

The paper is aimed at demonstrating the points of contact between measurements and geometry, which is done by modelling the main elements of the measurement process by the elements of geometry. It is shown that the basic equation for measurements can be established from the expression of projective metric and represents its particular case. Commonly occurring groups of functional transformations of the measured value are listed. Nearly all of them are projective transformations, which have invariants and are useful if greater accuracy of measurements is desired. Some examples are given to demonstrate that real measurement transformations can be dealt with via fractional-linear approximations. It is shown that basic metrological and geometrical categories are related, and a concept of seeing a multitude of physical values as elements of an abstract geometric space is introduced. A system of units can be reasonably used as the basis of this space. Two tensors are introduced in the space. One of them (the affinor) describes the interactions within the physical object, the other (the metric tensor) establishes the summation rule on account of the random nature of components.

INFORMATION SUPPORT FOR STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT OF AGRARIAN ENTERPRISES

Information tools for ensuring strategic development are investigated on the example of agricultural enterprises. The methodological foundations of the content of basic categories for the management of strategic development are revealed, the components of the structure of its information support are highlighted and it is determined that the information support of the strategic development of agricultural enterprises is scientifically grounded management of the process of constant growth of the volume of information and knowledge through traditional and new tools for processing and analyzing information by means of accounting. ts use in the activities of producers to obtain competitive advantages and the formation of an effective agricultural policy. The role was determined, the state was assessed, the tasks were defined and the features and problems of economic development and information support of agricultural enterprises were identified. Based on strategic tools, the main directions of improving information support for the strategic development of agricultural enterprises include those based on the intensification of information flows and analytical processing of the entire information array, the development of internal information architecture and ensuring the harmonization of information and communication chains. These include: automation of procedures for accumulation, processing, modulation and storage of documents; introduction of new tools of information and communication technologies; optimization of the rhythm of information flows; harmonization of internal and external information and communication chains; introduction of network tools for information and communication interactions; elimination of duplication of information; minimization of information noise, etc. The implementation of measures to provide information support for the strategic development of agricultural enterprises will facilitate the transition to its new quality and ensure the generation of competitive advantages, improve the quality of information processing; stimulates the formation of a flexible information architecture; will reduce the complexity and cost of information support.

ПОСІВНІ ЯКОСТІ НАСІННЯ ЕХІНАЦЕЇ ПУРПУРОВОЇ (ECHINACEA PURPUREA (L.) MOENCH.)

The energy of germination and laboratory germination of Echinacea purpurea seeds have been studied, as it is the sowing qualities of seeds that are the basis for successful reproduction of the species in culture. Peculiarities of germination of culture seeds depending on harvest terms are studied. It is noted that the seeds of 2017-2018 are not conditioned and are not recommended for cultivation in medicinal crops in order to obtain quality medicinal raw materials according to generally accepted standards, while the seeds of 2020 harvest have a fairly high quality and belong to the basic category. The article also presents data on the effect of disinfection with ethyl alcohol on the sowing qualities of Echinacea purpurea seeds, the tendency to increase germination energy and germination in the variant with treated seeds. Seeds, endowed with a high rate of laboratory germination, belongs to the category of original and is recommended for further propagation. Such seeds may have good field germination, although this figure will be slightly lower in any case, because the laboratory for growing seeds creates optimal conditions, which is not always possible in the field. This is usually associated with the influence of biotic and abiotic factors: temperature, humidity, light, conditions and timing of sowing, soil fertility, its infestation by pests and pathogens, and so on. In the course of studies of germination energy and laboratory germination, attention was paid to the degree of damage to the seeds of Echinacea purpurea by mold fungi. On average, when determining the energy of germination, the degree of damage by molds was weak, but when determining laboratory germination, a large degree of damage to achenes by molds was additionally manifested. When comparing the degree of fungal infestation of treated and non-disinfected seeds, we noted a low degree of infestation (for disinfected achenes) and a medium degree of infestation (for non-disinfected seeds). When determining the germination energy of disinfected echinacea seeds, the signs of purple lesions were generally invisible.

INSTITUTIONAL-COGNITIVE AND NONLINEAR SCIENTIFIC FUNDAMENTALS OF INNOVATIVE "SMART"-SPECIALIZATION OF THE MARITIME ECONOMIC COMPLEX

Topicality. In the twentieth century, there was an active discussion about the structure of the innovation process as a single period of scientific knowledge - from the promotion of ideas and hypotheses to the introduction of products to market. The beginning of the discussion of this issue was the work of S. Klein and N. Rosenberg "The positive sum strategy: Harnessing technology for economic grown". They described and criticized the classical linear model of innovation, based on the idea that the development of science is based on basic research, which then finds its continuation in applied research. Directive 2014/89 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the creation of a framework for the planning of maritime spaces states: "Maritime spatial planning is intended to organize the management of activities in marine and ocean areas and the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources . The European Parliament and the Council of the EU adopted the document on 23 July 2014. It officially entered into force on 18 September 2014. The Directive allows each EU country to plan its own maritime activities, but the planning process - nationally, regionally or locally - is compatible with EU law. implementation and minimum general requirements. Realization of the purpose of work causes the following tasks of research: to define the basic categories and concepts of "blue economy" and features of the economic mechanism of ecological regulation as preconditions of sustainable development; to develop ways to implement the integrated maritime policy of the European Union; to determine the impact of the approaches of the integrated maritime policy of the European Union on the institutional transformation of the maritime economic complex of Ukraine; to offer institutional-cognitive and nonlinear scientific principles of innovative "SMART" -specialization of the maritime complex; to propose approaches to the formation of institutional foundations for the implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning for Ukraine as a leading innovation in marine nature management. Aim and tasks. The purpose of this work is to analyze the institutional support of innovative practices in the management of greening of the maritime sector of Ukraine, based on the implementation of the environmental component of nonlinear approaches to SMART-specialization in the structure of Maritime Spatial Planning. Research results. After analyzing the current processes, the methodology of maritime spatial planning (MSP) focuses on reproducing a comprehensive picture of the spatial impact of the synergy of maritime sectors. In the future, the methodology focuses on updating the data over the medium term and taking into account possible future trends in the development of sectors of the maritime economy, including changes in the industrial structure and the growth of technological progress. MSP is focused not only on minimizing current stakeholder conflicts, but also on preventing such conflicts in the future. The development of a "maritime vision" or "desired scenario" should play a role in shaping the overall understanding of the future of maritime space, which should be supported by maritime spatial plans. On this basis, the development of a "vision" creates a common goal, agreed by all stakeholders, on what to strive for in the maritime spatial plan. MSP makes extensive use of methods based on marine data: analytical, quantitative, qualitative and spatial. In the initial stages of the MSP process, more creative, nonlinear creative techniques are used. In some cases, the vision development process itself has proved more important than the final vision document or action plan, serving as a mechanism for involving stakeholders in cooperation, as well as facilitating dialogue on a common future. The use of nonlinear approaches helps to focus MSP, as well as provide a basis for the purposes of SMART specialization of maritime space. Conclusion. The paper shows that the Itzkowitz-Leidesdorf model formalizes the dynamic shifts in the structure of interactions of the three sectors (triple helix) that occur as a result of innovation and complexity of socio-economic systems and is a convenient tool for analyzing the institutional organization and specifics of social interactions. which innovation ecosystems and the innovation economy as a whole. Thus, the genetic connection of "quadro", "quinto-helix" method and SMART specialization is substantiated in the work. . The paper proves that overcoming the uncertainty of management factors due to cognitive mechanisms of interaction within the quinto - helix is the leading mechanism of innovative management of greening of the economy and sea spatial flooding in particular.

Improving Quality in the Process of Hot Rolling of Steel Sheets

The hot rolling of steel sheets is a highly energy-intensive process. There are technical and operational issues associated with this process, and the causes of these issues can be various. This study involved analysis of one issue that has a great influence on the resulting surface quality of rolled sheet metal: rolled foreign material. After the sheet cools, rolled foreign material tends to fall off and a hole then remain on the surface of the sheet. This paper focuses on the search for the root causes of the occurrence of foreign material rolling. The basic categorization of the causes of this issue was performed by experienced long-term operators. The 4M method (man, machine, method, and material) was used to categorize the causes. Pairwise comparison was used to verify the result. Using energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis, the origin of the foreign material was identified. The analysis confirmed that the foreign material was not derived from the primary material. Further research showed that the cause of the issue was the guide rulers, which are a structural part of the rolling mill. Measures were taken to significantly reduce the incidence of the problem, which also had the effect of reducing financial losses, which fell by a third in 18 weeks. In the future, it will be necessary to make design changes (modernization of the rolling mill), which will, however, require more financial investment.

A Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization of the Top-Cited Publications in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.

Background: For measuring their impact in scientific research, the citation count of the publications is used in the bibliometric analysis, though still in the bibliometric analysis, there is no comprehensive summary of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) research. This article intends to provide the physicians and the neuroscientists with a reference guide to assess the most influential publications written on this subject through a macroscopic view of the research activities on mTBI.Methods: The database of the Web of Science was used to compile the 100 top-ranking publications on mTBI. The selected publications were evaluated on the basis of the several categorizations including the type of the publications, number of citations, country of origin, and year of publication.Results: Between 1946 and 2020, the 13,040 publications that were published were included in the database. The least cited publications received 274 citations, while the most cited received 1,748. Altogether, 71 publications were from the USA while 29 were from other countries. Among all the institutions, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center led the list with six publications. Around 100 papers, mostly on the clinical studies in the categories of neurology and neurosciences, were published in 54 different journals.Conclusions: This study provides both a transverse section summary and historical retrospect for the clinical advances of mTBI, and the publications of important observations that contributed a significant impact on the treatment and prevention of mTBI had been identified.

Comparative Analysis of the Categorization of the Concept <i>ОСЕНЬ</i> (Autumn / Fall) in Russian and Chinese Language Consciousness

One of the central problems considered by the Moscow School of Psycholinguistics is the analysis of ethno-cultural language consciousness specificity of speakers belonging to different language and culture communities. This article deals with psycholinguistic comparative analysis of categorization of the concept ОСЕНЬ (Autumn / Fall) in Russian and Chinese language consciousness. The aim of this article is to identify cultural and national features of categorization of the concept ОСЕНЬ (Autumn / Fall) in Russian and Chinese language consciousness. The article considers the data from different Russian and Chinese dictionaries (Russian associative dictionary, mythological, etymological, explanatory and semantic dictionaries of the Russian and Chinese languages) as well as the results of the associative experiment involving the stimulus ОСЕНЬ (Autumn / Fall), conducted for Chinese speakers. The article constructs associative fields of the lexeme ОСЕНЬ (Autumn / Fall) and highlights the basic cognitive categories of the respective concept in Russian and Chinese language consciousness. The article uses methods of statistical, quantitative, component, semantic, psycholinguistic and conceptual analyses, as well as analysis of associative experiment data. Since comparative analysis of the concept ОСЕНЬ (Autumn / Fall) in Russian and Chinese language consciousness has not been carried out in linguistic research yet, the results obtained are relevant for the development of associative lexicography, psycholinguistics, ethnopsycholinguistics and cultural linguistics. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of creating a bilingual associative dictionary (on the material of the Russian and Chinese languages) and the use of the data obtained in the process of teaching psycholinguistics and intercultural communication.

A Survey on Garbage Management System

In modern times, disposal of garbage has turn out a huge cause for concern in the world. A comprehensive amount of waste that is generated is not disposed properly and in turn have a harmful effect on the habitat. The most commonly used method for disposal of the waste is by random and unscientifically dumping garbage at landfill sites, which is creating problems to public health and the environment. Garbage disposal is an emerging environmental and public health issue. Waste production has been doubled over a period of past 20 years and the efficiency in manual segregation is very low. Thus, a practicable answer to this problem is by segregating waste at the root stage. The paper briefs to classify the waste into basic categories that is bio-degradable and non – biodegradable wastes. The wastes are detected and dropped into the respective bins allocated to each category where these classified wastes can be taken ahead for efficient recycling. The whole system is designed to get maximum efficiency of work and make our environment safer.

A two-phase hybrid product design algorithm using learning vector quantization, design of experiments, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface systems to optimize geometric form in view of customers’ opinions

One of the most important characteristics of a modern product is the extent to which it meets the needs of customers to gain market share. The conceptual design methods of products based on customer requirements are often feature-based, in which several features are identified between different types of a product. According to customer demands, these features are tuned and the closest is selected as the optimum. The great variety of features of a present-day product can often make this difficult because finding these common features is very complicated or even impossible. To solve this problem, choosing the optimal design is divided into two phases: In the first phase, the main product is divided into some basic categories and according to the customers' opinion, one is selected as the category. In the second phase, the selection of common geometrical features between the members of the winning category is made. Then, the optimization process is done based on customer rating and the closest design to the mentioned rating is selected. The house light switch is used as a case study and the proposed algorithm is implemented on it. High customer satisfaction with the optimized final design, high response rate to survey forms, and the low number of incompatible data, all, indicate the suitability of the proposed algorithm with human interface characteristics, simplicity and efficiency in adapting the product to the customers' view. This method can be used for other industrial products and even for non-industrial products or services.

Quality of Life of Young Consumers: Evidence from Poland

Purpose: The paper aims to evaluate selected aspects of the quality of life of young consumers. Design/Methodology/Approach: The following research methods were selected: a literature analysis and empirical research - questionnaire. The study was conducted using the CAWI (computer-assisted web interview) in April-June 2021 on young consumers of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland. The analysis and interpretation of the data obtained from the qualitative research were developed using quantitative methods - descriptive and statistical. Findings: Despite the COVID-19 pandemic that has been prevailing for over a year, which results in the deterioration of basic macroeconomic categories, such as GDP, unemployment, and inflation, which have a direct impact on the lives of individuals, and despite the inadequate assessment of certain aspects of life and the environment, young consumers generally assessed the quality of your life as well and very well. Practical Implications: The paper shows the importance of subjective assessment of the quality of life and may be helpful to institutions responsible for developing appropriate programs to improve the lives of young people. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by showing that the subjective assessment of individual areas of life and the quality of life, in general, may differ, and the improvement or deterioration of the quality of life may not always be directly related to economic growth.
