Զինծառայողների հատուկ կարգավիճակը քաղաքական գիտակցության և մասնակցության համատեքստում

The purpose of this article is to highlight the changes in the political consciousness of military personnel in the context of current regional and global changes. The task of the work is to analyze the political consciousness of the military personnel of the Republic of Armenia, taking into account the challenges posed by the new internal and external situation created after the 44-day war. The work was written with a joint consideration of the facts, using the principles of historical analysis. As a result of the study, it can be stated that even in the post-World War II period, the problem of the political consciousness of military personnel, as well as the study of the relationship between the political and military elites, were of particular importance. in Western and Soviet world systems. After the "cold war" and the proclamation of the independence of the Republic of Armenia, the above-mentioned problems are in the sphere of first necessity for us. During the conducted research, it was revealed that in the Armenian reality there is a lack of interest on the part of the research community towards this topic. In fact, there is an insufficient level of elaboration of the topic, which, in turn, leads to a number of problems on the ground in real life. The study of the legislative sphere of the Republic of Armenia shows that there are a number of gaps that require urgent improvement.

Sales Forecasting System for Van-Sales Channel for FMCG Industry

In the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, the availability of sufficient product inventory on the delivery vehicle is directly related to the accuracy of the sales forecasts. Insufficient accuracy of the estimations leads to loss of income and increases secondary costs such as transportation and labor costs. In the current situation, sales forecasts are based on the sales personnel's delivery route, knowledge, experience, and relationships. Since the knowledge and experience of the personnel are not brought into the institutional memory, this information is lost with the personnel change, and the new person needs to develop their own experiences about the route. Currently, the sales forecasting accuracy rate is calculated as 70%. It has been determined that a daily loss of 15% on a product basis and a total of 5% daily occurs. In the study carried out within the scope of this research, advanced analytical and machine learning methods that can capture the dynamics of the FMCG industry and analyze the extensive data formed effectively are studied to increase the accuracy and consistency of sales forecasts. Within the scope of the research, machine learning models to be used for sales forecasts were developed using artificial neural networks methods. We evaluated the models' performance according to the recall, precision, and accuracy metrics based on the route, point of sale, and product. It was determined that the artificial neural networks performs well for sales forecasting. Using the artificial neural networks in the experimental study, we achieved an average of 5% revenue increase for the three route groups selected as pilots. The sales forecast accuracy rate increased from 78% to 82%.

자치경찰 성과평가 가이드라인 구축에 관한 연구

With the introduction of the local police system, it is divided into national police affairs and local police affairs, raising the need to revise the previously implemented national police performance evaluation system to suit the circumstances of each region. Accordingly, the municipal police committees stipulate the evaluation of autonomous police affairs as their jurisdiction, but there are still no specific guidelines for evaluating the performance of autonomous police. Therefore, this study aims to establish guidelines for the performance evaluation of autonomous police by the municipal police committees. Accordingly, three out of six performance indicators have significantly improved the current indicators, two quantitative performance indicators have been maintained, and new traffic indicators have been developed so that the municipal police committees can actually play a role in evaluating the performance of the autonomous police. In addition, it proposes a performance evaluation system to motivate evaluators to pay attention and passion by proposing various incentives such as special pledges for excellent performance, on-site inspections of overseas autonomous police, individual commendations, group commendations, and prize money. As a result, the qualitative performance indicators proposed in this study are expected to increase local residents' trust in local police by autonomously preparing plans for local police affairs, continuously executing them regardless of personnel changes or accidents, and raising appropriate policing performance.

Развитие цифровых технологий и медицинского оборудования в период санкций.

After February 24, 2022, a number of countries imposed sanctions on Russia - political, financial, energy, technological, transport and logistics, and personal. At the time of writing, Russia is the country with the largest number of sanctions against it in world history. We reviewed the de- velopment of digital technologies and medical equipment during the period of sanctions, the adaptation of Russian developers, scientists, doctors to sanctions, as well as the prospects and forecasts for the impact of sanctions on the development of telemedicine. The article deals with the issues of export and import of telemedicine solutions, changes in personnel (scientists, developers, program- mers, engineers, doctors, patients) and legal structures, access to resources for the creation and development of telemedicine tech- nologies (consumables, libraries, development environments, etc. .). Models of investments in telemedicine technologies – venture and dividend ones - are analyzed, and the prevailing one is determined. Attention is paid to adaptation to the sanctions that began to form compensatory over the past year. Despite the fact that the sanctions have a negative focus, for the Russian TM industry, this can be a good incentive for development. Russian developers have every chance to create unique domestic solutions for telemedicine technologies that will improve the availability and quality of medical care for Russian patients.

The periphrastic image of Volodymyr Zelenskyi in the publicistic and political discourse of the 2021

The crucial importance of the linguistics as a branch of science reveals to be the focus and presentation of diverse lingual changes at various lingual levels, first and foremost at lexical-semantic, derivational, and phraseological due to the fact they contain mini-fragments of all the events, happening in a certain country and the world in general. The given article embraces the complex analysis of different periphrastic units as substitutes of the precedent name Volodymyr Zelenskyi based on the interconnection of intra- and extralingual factors, which harmonise, securing the lingual progress and accurately reflecting the core positive and negative changes in the society, reactions of people over the certain challenges. The spectrum of mini-texts of publicistic and political discourse, limited by strict chronological framework of the 2021, forms the research base of the scientific disquisition. As a result, the all-embracing periphrastic field Volodymyr Zelenskyi has been modelled on the base of wide range of actual material, the identifying criteria of its constituents (e.g., political activity of Volodymyr Zelenskyi, presidential activity of Volodymyr Zelenskyi, civil position of Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the status of actual guarantor of the Constitution in the Ukrainian political sphere, forecasts of his future as a person and as a statesman, the style of conversation with other people, etc.) were logically examined. The semantic typology of heterogeneous in their formal and grammatical organization descriptive phrases was being built on the base of semantically accentuated components as well as micro and macrocontext. Sometimes the semaciological procedure was used as an important component of axiologicality. The detailed classification of lexical and semantic range of periphrases’ elements, presenting subordinate connection as regular relationship, meanwhile coordinate and correlative as irregular ones, has been constructed consequently. All the semantic and connotative (ameliorative and pejorative) markers were logically identified. The vast range of facts involved in the scientific research, made the solid reason to assert the dominant position of the pejorative connotation due to extralingual factors (lack of managerial experience of the President Zelenskyi, unmotivated personnel changes, the desire to concentrate all branches of government in one hand, etc.). It is a fact that the crucial semantic and axiological indicators of the secondary nominations under analysis are grammatically dominant components. Sometimes this function is being performed by dependent members, which are lexemes or various syntactic constructions, formed with their participation. The analysed descriptive phrases of the periphrastic field appear as separate skilfully verbalized mini-plots, revealing consistently recorded features of the system of government of Volodymyr Zelenskyi as well as prominent events and facts, ultimately, the Ukrainian state with its gains and losses in 2021.

Offline User Authentication Ensuring Non-Repudiation and Anonymity

User authentication is the key to ensuring that only authorized users can deal with specific affairs and access services. Applications or systems possessing different properties or requirements need different authentication schemes. For example, some institutions or companies need executives to manage or inspect their corresponding departments while the inspected department should not know who the executives are but only can verify their legitimacy. This paper designs a non-repudiation and anonymity-ensured user authentication system to meet the mentioned special requirements. We also propose a user authentication scheme to ensure that the designed system can work as claimed. In the system, a department is equipped with an authentication device, namely the department authentication device, to authenticate an executive while the executive's identity is not revealed to the department and only the department's authentication device can identify the executive for non-repudiation. An executive is equipped with an authentication device to have himself/herself authenticated by the department's authentication device. Moreover, authentication data stored in an executive's authentication device does not need to be updated even when management personnel changes are made.

Psychology and the fall of Communism:The special case of (East) Germany.

The fall of Communism is now universally agreed to be what the philosopher Hegel called a world historical event-one that few predicted but nearly everyone saw as inevitable after it happened. In the aftermath many lives-and worldviews-changed, not only, but also in the human sciences. These remarks attempt to address in a preliminary way both the impact of the fall of Communism on psychology in former East Germany (including changes in personnel and approach) and the ways in which these sciences were employed as resources for reflection on the Communist past as well as the transition to new social and political regimes.

History of the Faculty of Environmental Technology, UCT Prague

The article describes the history of establishing the Faculty of Environmental Protection Technology from the beginnings of teaching the fuel and water technologies in the Czech Lands more than 150 years ago to the present day. It describes in detail the founding of the faculty and their departments, as well as the subsequent historical development of the newly established faculty in individual important periods. Attention is paid especially to the period of the 1970s – 1990s, in which there were major personnel changes at the faculty. After 1989, further development of the faculty took place; two new departments focused on waste disposal, disposal of old environmental burdens, and product ecology (LCA, MFA) were founded at the faculty. A summary of the international relations and application activities of the faculty staff over the past 70 years is compiled in the form of tables in the Internet version of the article.

A Survey on the Personnel Changes of Teachers in Special Needs Schools in Japan: Focusing on Interviews with University Teachers in Training Schools

ОСНОВНЫЕ ЭТАПЫ РАЗВИТИЯ ЖЕЛЕЗНОДОРОЖНОГО СООБЩЕНИЯ В ЕНИСЕЙСКОМ РЕГИОНЕ В XIX—XXI ВВ.

The influence of the Trans-Siberian Railway on the economic, social and cultural development of Siberia can hardly be overestimated. Contemporaries noted that from the very beginning of the operation of the Siberian railway, the economic and cultural development of Siberia accelerated: the railway opened the way for Siberian manufacturers to Western markets; also, the industrial development of Siberia required an influx of labor, and streams of migrants, peasants, employees, and merchants poured into Siberia. The section of the Trans-Siberian Railway, passing through the territory of the modern Krasnoyarsk Territory, at different periods of its existence was part of the Great Siberian Railway, the West Siberian, Tomsk, East Siberian Railways. The change of ownership of the Krasnoyarsk Railway from one section of the Trans-Siberian Railway to another was due to the tasks of industrial development facing society. Each time the reformation of the structure of the Trans-Siberian Railway was accompanied by corresponding personnel and organizational changes in the management structure of the Krasnoyarsk Railway itself. The article considers the key events in the history of the development of the railway transport of the Yenisei region. The authors analyzed the prerequisites and historical conditions that determined the pace of development of the railway network at each historical stage, showed the importance of individuals who had a significant impact on the development of the railway in the Yenisei region, considered the historical conditions that determined the pace of development of passenger traffic. The authors provide statistical information indicating a high level of demand for railway communication among the local population. It should be noted that the invariable direction in the activity of the Krasnoyarsk Railway was the development of infrastructure, which made it possible to ensure the economic development of the region in different historical periods.

Concerned yet polluting: A survey on French research personnel and climate change

We present a survey of the French research community and climate change carried out in 2020. It is one of the largest surveys ever conducted on this issue: it is based on a sample of more than 6,000 respondents representative of the French public sector research community, regardless of their status and discipline. On the one hand, it measures practices that emit large amounts of greenhouse gases, such as air travel, and addresses the differences between disciplines and within them according to different individual characteristics (gender, status, location, etc.). On the other hand, it questions the representations of research actors concerning the climate emergency, and what they are willing to do to reduce their emissions. The survey highlights three results: first, an acute awareness of environmental and climate issues widely shared by members of the scientific community; second, a willingness to implement changes; and third, a clear gap between these attitudes and practices that still emit large amounts of greenhouse gases. This raises the question of the role of research institutions, whose support is required to implement profound reforms in the organization of research activities.

Post-conflict land administration in Edendale N Wirewall project

The Edendale N Wirewall case is instructive for land tenure administration, project management and group tenure schemes in post-conflict land tenure administration and housing project management. The Greater Edendale Area experienced major localised conflict in the lead up to the end of apartheid. The Edendale N Wirewall project is a problematic state subsidised housing project. Innovations in development techniques and land tenure models are necessary in times of far reaching change. However, innovations should be justified by robust empirical evidence if failure might have a significant impact on the intended beneficiaries. Corruption, maladministration, patronage and inefficiencies can be expected in post-conflict land administration and project governance as new politicians come into power, the state is fragile and personnel changes and power shifts occur in the civil service. Fixing major problems in housing projects arising out of poor project management and poor project governance can result in costly remedial action and tenure insecurity in the decades following project completion. If the situation allows it, external expert checks on land administration operations management and far more frequent and independent project audits, on-site inspections and audit surveys may mitigate some of these challenges.

Use Of BMI To Estimate %fat In Civilian And Active Duty Air Force Men And Women

Body Mass Index (BMI) is often suggested as a surrogate for %fat in both men and women. Since the military continues to evaluate body composition as a consideration for service, it would be prudent to evaluate the accuracy of BMI to estimate and %fat in active duty (AD) and civilian (CIV) Air Force personnel. PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between BMI and %fat in male and female AD and CIV Air Force personnel. METHODS: AD men (n = 453) and women (n = 225) and CIV men (n = 118) and women (n = 179) were stratified by age (18-29 yrs, n = 354; 30-39 yrs, n = 351; >40 yrs, n = 270). Each participant volunteered to be measured by whole body plethysmography to assess %fat. RESULTS: A sex x age x duty (2 x 3 x 2) MANOVA revealed women (34.4 ± 8.5%) were significantly higher in %fat than men (25.7 ± 8.7%), the >40 yr group (31.3 ± 9.0%) was significantly higher than the 30-39 yr group (30.0 ± 9.3%) and 18-29 yr group (27.0 ± 10.0%), but there was no significant difference between AD (28.0 ± 9.1%) and CIV (32.0 ± 10.2%) groups. Correlation between weight and %fat was significantly higher in women (r = 0.74) than in men (r = 0.59) and higher for CIV (r = 0.38) than for AD (r = 0.24). BMI was significantly correlated with %fat in men (r = 0.71) and women (r = 0.81). Regression analysis selected BMI, sex, and age as primary variables in a randomly selected validation group to predicted %fat (R = 0.81, SEE = 5.6%, CV = 19.2%). Cross-validation of the equation on a randomly selected group (n = 204) revealed no significant differences (p = 0.81) between predicted %fat (30.2 ± 8.2% and actual %fat (30.1 ± 8.4%) with a significant correlation between them (r = 0.82, p<0.001). The equation was equally affected for both sexes and service groups. CONCLUSION: %fat can be predicted in Air Force personnel using a BMI equation combined with sex and age with acceptable accuracy. This allows a quick and convenient screening for body composition in both sexes and AD and CIV personnel. Further research might focus on the ability of the prediction equation to longitudinally track body composition changes in military personnel.

Luxembourg: Political Developments and Data in 2021

Luxembourg politics in 2021 was again largely determined by the evolution of the Covid‐19 pandemic and its response by public authorities, with an easing of restrictions which was followed by the adoption of stricter measures due to the emergence of the Omicron variant. This sequence caused an outcry in the population, with protests that sometimes became violent. The three‐party coalition government was also shaken, at the end of the year, by the decision of three of its ministers to resign from their position. After changes of ministerial personnel within The Greens/Déi Gréng delegation in previous years, this time the turnover (set to become official in 2022) concerned the Socialists/Lëtzebuerger Sozialistesch Aarbechterpartei and the Democratic Pary/Demokratesch Partei. But 2021 was also a particularly difficult year for the historically dominant party of the Grand Duchy, the Christian‐Social People's Party/Chrëschtlech‐Sozial Vollekspartei, in opposition since 2013, but still the largest party in Parliament, as it saw its leader forced out of office.

Evaluating a school-based intervention through routine local authority data and national school data: Challenges and opportunities.

ObjectivesThe Department for Education funded local authorities (LAs) in England to embed social workers into schools (SWIS) so that they can work more effectively with teachers, children and families. A two-arm cluster randomised-controlled trial is evaluating the effect of SWIS compared to schools without on referrals to Children’s Social Care. ApproachLAs collate information about all children who are referred to Children’s Social Care within their authority. A case report form has been developed by the trial team to collect school-level information on child protection enquiries, referrals, child in need assessments and numbers of days children spent in state care. Cost data are also included for an economic evaluation. LAs return a completed dataset each quarter, reporting aggregate numbers by school and year group. Data on attendance and attainment will be requested separately from the National Pupil Database (NPD) in 2023. ResultsQuarterly (n=6) data was supplied for 291 schools across 21 LAs. We will focus on this method of data collection and its challenges and opportunities. Relying on 21 external parties to provide all trial data in a timely manner brought risks to the collation of trial outcome data but has reduced the overall costs of data collection. LAs work with a number of different (and changing) IT systems, many of which are not compatible with each other. This, along with personnel changes in data teams, has led to delays. Receiving aggregate data limits the amount of quality control possible, therefore detailed guidance mitigated potential data input errors. Working with LAs to develop and refine these guidance materials at the outset paid dividends. ConclusionUsing routine LA data is a novel cost-efficient approach to collecting trial outcome data at scale. However, the disjointed and varying data architecture that exists in LAs presents practical challenges. This means we relied on good working relationships with the LAs, including regular communication and collaborative problem solving.

The protection of very important persons in Hungary – the legislation of personal protection from 1997 to the present day

Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the transformation of the institutional system of personal protection briefly over the last twenty-five years and to outline the main legislative and personnel (in particular, the scope of very important persons) changes up to the present day.Methodology: Governmental law enforcement has been characterised by constant change over the last quarter of century. This process involved not only changes in tasks and authority, but also the transformation, dissolution and creation of institutions. Despite this fact, there are few areas of law enforcement that have undergone such a complex and extensive transformation as personal protection in Hungary. After the change of regime, between 1990 and 1996, the field closely followed democratic transformation in the spirit of reform efforts, but no profound reform was achieved as comprehensive legislation was not ready until 1997.Findings: After 2010, there were several organisational, operational and regulatory changes resulting in the loss of the unity of personal protection and the emergence of a parallel institutional network with different types of bodies and different functions. This process is interpreted as a kind of slow reform of the field, but it is debatable from several viewpoints.Value: The study highlights the fact that the designation or removal of protection for public managers, and the reorganisation of tasks and authority between bodies give the overall impression that the professionalisation of the field took place in recent years without any real sectoral strategy.

ZEMLJOTRES U BANJALUCI I BOSANSKOJ KRAJINI 1969. GODINE

Banja Luka and 14 other municipalities of ​​Bosnian Krajina (western Bosnia and Herzegovina) were hit by a series of strong earthquakes on October 26 and 27, 1969. The quake area had a population of over 750,000 in 803 settlements. The total estimated damage in the entire area affected by the earthquake amounted to 7,150 million dinars and there were also human losses. Assistance to the affected area came from all over the country and from abroad. Western countries (mostly the USA, Switzerland, Italy and FR Germany) sent money and goods of five times higher value than the socialist countries. The structure of international aid shows that it was almost exclusively conditioned by the prevailing political relations. Until 1974, the question of the amount of financial resources needed for reconstruction caused a political crisis in the relations between the Prime Minister Mitja Ribičič and the leadership of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also within the League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where important personnel changes took place. Under pressure from the Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s leadership has agreed to reduce the funds originally earmarked for reconstruction by one-third. This was opposed by old wartime communist cadre. This served the new, young leadership to remove Osman Karabegović, Avdo Humo, Hajro Kapetanović and Čedo Kapor from the political life. These officials opposed the confederalization of Yugoslavia and the strengthening of the statehood of the republics, which was insisted on by the new leadership, led by Branko Mikulić. The greatest intensity of reconstruction was immediately after the earthquake. At the beginning of 1976, the state settled its obligations to Bosnian Krajina.

Main directions for improving public administration mechanisms in Ukraine

The aim of this study is to determine the prerogatives of digital modernization of the public administration system based on the assessment of the development of digital government and the identification of major barriers. That involves both organizational and procedural changes and cultural changes in public authorities, personnel and qualification structures, interaction with citizens, and the effectiveness of public services. In the course of the study, statistical methods were used (qualitative and quantitative analysis), and empirical methods. Despite the automation of public authorities in recent years, the results of the transfer of public services to electronic format remain unsatisfactory. Digital modernization of the public administration system involves expanding methods for analyzing and evaluating the implementation of state programs, including auditing the effectiveness of their implementation. Currently, the assessment involves calculating the degree of achievement of the target values of performance indicators of projects, and monitoring is the assessment of the share of key events (activities) that occurred on time. The use of technologies of predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence has significantly changed the quality of information and analytical support of decisions. "Big data" processing technologies contribute to the adaptation of public policy measures to the needs and characteristics of the recipients of regulation.

Optimal Emergency Department Care Practices for Persons Living With Dementia: A Scoping Review.

To summarize research on optimal emergency department (ED) care practices for persons living with dementia (PLWDs) and develop research priorities. Systematic scoping review. PLWDs in the ED. The following Patient-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome (PICO) questions were developed: PICO 1, What components of emergency department care improve patient-centered outcomes for persons with dementia? PICO 2, How do emergency care needs for persons with dementia differ from other patients in the emergency department? A scoping review was conducted following PRISMA-ScR guidelines and presented to the Geriatric Emergency care Applied Research 2.0 Advancing Dementia Care network to inform research priorities. From the 6348 publications identified, 23 were abstracted for PICO 1 and 26 were abstracted for PICO 2. Emergency care considerations for PLWDs included functional dependence, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, and identification of and management of pain. Concerns regarding ED care processes, the ED environment, and meeting a PWLD's basic needs were described. A comprehensive geriatric assessment and dedicated ED unit, a home hospital program, and a low-stimulation bed shade and contact-free monitor all showed improvement in patient-centered or health care use outcomes. However, all were single-site studies evaluating different outcomes. These results informed the following research priorities: (1) training and dementia care competencies; (2) patient-centric and care partner-centric evaluation interventions; (3) the impact of community- and identity-based factors on ED care for PLWDs; (4) economic or other implementation science measures to address viability; and (5) environmental, operational, personnel, system, or policy changes to improve ED care for PLWDs. A wide range of components of both ED care practices and ED care needs for PLWDs have been studied. Although many interventions show positive results, the lack of depth and reproducible results prevent specific recommendations on best practices in ED care for PLWDs.
