СУЧАСНІ ПІДХОДИ ДО ОЦІНКИ КОРУПЦІЙНИХ РИЗИКІВ: АНАЛІЗ КЛЮЧОВИХ ІНДИКАТОРІВ

The work examines modern approaches to the assessment of corruption risks in three blocks: aggregated indices, expert assessments, and surveys of the opinion of the public and business representatives. The conducted analysis of each indicator in the context of its advantages and disadvantages and sources of collected information are displayed and systematized in tabular form. It is noted that it is not possible to make cross-country comparisons for all indicators due to the small sample of some of them, the indirect relationship of certain indicators to corruption risks, the subjectivity of surveys or the imperfect methodology of their construction, which is only gradually improving. The work uses methods of comparative analysis and visualization using VOSviewer, which made it possible to cluster the topic of corruption, to demonstrate in a visual form the key researchers of this phenomenon by surnames and countries of origin. Reasonable advantages of the flexibility that today's wide palette of existing indicators provides to scientists to deepen and combine them in the direction of a specific study, as well as to develop their own indices and methods for assessing corruption risks on a global scale. The development of a universal indicator for the assessment of corruption risks is predicted for the future.

СИСТЕМНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ ПРИЧИН И ФАКТОРОВ НЕЖЕЛАТЕЛЬНЫХ РЕАКЦИЙ ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ ОМАЛИЗУМАБА

The article presents a systematic analysis of the causes and factors of adverse reactions to the use of omalizumab. Methods of monitoring appeals, expert assessment, and interviewing medical specialists were applied. The analysis showed that in Russia there is a "declarative passivity" of medical workers and patients in relation to reports of adverse reactions to the use of omalizumab, which is associated with a high workload and reluctance on the part of medical workers to issue a notification, lack of knowledge about the procedure for notification, fear of being punished for possible incorrect actions on the use of the drug; on the part of patients – by not knowing their rights and the procedure for submitting a report, by fear of spoiling relations with the attending physician. Such passivity and closeness hinders the formation of a system for the prevention of drug safety violations. The data obtained in the course of the study (on the frequency and structure of adverse reactions to the use of omalizumab in clinical practice in children and adults; information on the most dangerous combinations of omalizumab with other drugs; The characteristics of the causes and factors of adverse reactions to the use of omalizumab, as well as the untimely submission of notifications about them, have become the theoretical basis for the development of recommendations for improving pharmacovigilance activities to ensure the safety of the use of omalisamab in children and adults, which includes 4 areas: creation of organizational conditions to ensure the safety of the use of omalisamab in children and adults in medical organizations; prevention of adverse reactions to the use of omalizumab at the preclinical stage; optimization of clinical choice and support for decision-making by a medical specialist (doctor) when prescribing omalizumab based on a risk-based approach, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient and the clinical situation; improving the quality of safety monitoring of the use of omalizumab.

Classifying fabric wrinkle via regularized random vector function link optimized by African vultures optimization algorithm

The wrinkling of fabrics not only affects their aesthetic appeal and comfort but also leads to increased wear and a reduced lifespan. Consequently, wrinkle resistance has become a critical metric in evaluating fabric performance. Traditional wrinkle grading methods rely heavily on expert assessments, which are susceptible to visual fatigue, resulting in subjective and inconsistent classification outcomes. To address this issue, this article proposes an automatic wrinkle grading model based on an improved African Vultures Optimization (AVO) algorithm, which optimizes a regularized random vector functional link (RRVFL) network. The model enhances convergence speed and classification accuracy by incorporating the Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) algorithm to provide a superior initial population for the AVO algorithm. Additionally, the AVO algorithm’s local search capability is strengthened during the optimization process, improving the model’s stability and resistance to overfitting. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HHO-AVO-RRVFL model achieves an average classification accuracy of 97.86% across multiple datasets, significantly outperforming other comparative algorithms while also excelling in classification stability and convergence speed.

Assessing Creativity and User Experience in Immersive Virtual Reality with Cultural Heritage Learning

Virtual reality (VR) technology is widely used in the field of education and cultural heritage learning. However, few studies have focused on the impact on creativity regarding the use of different interaction modalities by users in cultural heritage learning. Furthermore, it is controversial whether VR can enhance user experience and learning outcomes. The study utilized a mixed research approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods, where qualitative data was collected using open-ended interviews, simultaneously quantitative data was collected using learning outcomes, intrinsic motivation, workload, self-report of creativity and expert assessments of creativity. A mixed research approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods was used; creativity self-reports were used to collect qualitative data, and learning outcomes, intrinsic motivation, and workload data were collected for the quantitative findings.90 university students were randomly assigned to the text group (TG), the video group (VG), and the immersive virtual reality group (IVRG), with 30 students in each group. The study assessed whether creativity, user experience and learning outcomes differed when using different interaction modalities in a cultural heritage context. The results demonstrated that the text interaction modality outperformed the other two groups in learning outcomes and expert assessments of creativity performance, while the IVRG performed better in self-report of creativity and user experience. In addition, participants in TG had higher workloads and poorer user experiences compared to the other two interaction modalities. This study encourages that different interaction modalities should be selected more appropriately depending on the purpose. The study found that interaction modalities creativity can be applied to digital cultural heritage and education and informs interaction design for the HCI community.

Pengembangan Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik (LKPD) Berbasis Berpikir Kritis pada Mata Pelajaran PPKn di Kelas III MIN 3 Simalungun

The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of critical thinking-based Learner Worksheets (LKPD) in Civics subjects in Class III MIN 3 Simalungun. The background is that the Learner Worksheet used at MIN 3 Simalungun is an instant version of the publisher provided by the school not the result of the preparation carried out by the teacher himself. And printed with black ink on opaque paper. LKPDs found in schools are not yet based on critical thinking. Indicators of critical thinking have not been included in the LKPD, so it does not train students' critical thinking skills. This research is an R&D (Research and Development) study. This study uses the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Researchers only limit it to the development stage. Researchers modify the development model as needed, because in terms of the formulation of the problem it is only limited to whether or not the LKPD will be developed. So, for this reason, researchers do not carry out the implementation and evaluation stages. Based on the results obtained after being validated by validators from 3 teams of experts, namely from material experts, a percentage of 94% was obtained which was declared very feasible. The assessment of the media expert showed a percentage of 88%, also declared very feasible. In addition, the assessment of linguists obtained a percentage of 86% and was declared very feasible. So it can be concluded

Повышение ВРП экономики Иркутской области на основе роста уровня энергетической эффективности регионального промышленного комплекса

Energy efficiency of fuel and energy consumption is an important indicator of regional economy. The article provides an empirical study of electricity consumption, gross regional product, and electricity consumption per capita in Russia’s regions in 2021. The analysis focused on the role of the Irkutsk Region in the development of Russia’s energy balance and economy. The authors mapped the electric intensity as part of gross regional product and found out that it is very low in the Irkutsk Region, despite the fact that this region is one of the largest consumers of electricity in Russia. The analysis revealed a national need for a better theoretical basis in energy efficiency. The research featured the increase in economic indicators of the Irkutsk Region in conditions of leveling the regional energy efficiency to average indicators. The authors used the methods of statistical research, expert assessments, modeling, and forecasting. They analyzed electric intensity by type of economic activity in various regions of the Siberian Federal District. As a result, they associated the low electric intensity of the gross regional product in Irkutsk with its industrial sector, which uses a lot of electricity and provides a significant share of the gross regional product. They modelled some changes in the volumes of Irkutsk’s gross regional product with an increase in energy efficiency in the industrial power consumption sector. As a result, the gross regional product increased by 57%, rising from 1,268 billion rubles to 2,000 billion rubles. The result was achieved by an increase in the industrial sector from 494 billion rubles to 1,226 billion rubles.

Histopathological diagnostics for assessment questions of tendo-, ligamento-, and meniscus pathologies

This review article presents the possibilities and limitations of histopathological diagnostics on the issues of joint diseases, including in the context of the medical insurance inquiries, which consider the important articular, non-osseous compartments, especially of the tendons, ligaments, and meniscus. Essential for expert assessments is the causal clarification of whether the continuity disruption has been induced exogenously by trauma or endogenously based on tissue that is functionally impaired and thus degeneratively altered. The degree of degeneration/texture disorder is determined by means of the degeneration-score, which is set in asemiquantitative, three-stage grading. Grades1 and2 are summed up as low-grade degeneration and compared to grade3, high-grade degeneration. Age determination of continuity disruption is based on the assessment of the morphology of discontinuity and on the assessment of hemosiderin deposits. The tasks of histopathological diagnostics thus consist of the detection and grading of textural disorder (degeneration), the determination of the histopathologic age of existing continuity disruptions, and particularly the diagnosis of clinically/radiologically undiagnosed diseases, which may be relevant for pathogenesis. In the case of contradictory diagnoses from different diagnostic disciplines and in the case of imprecise and potentially even contradictory patient information, purely legal, judicial decisions may be necessary. In this case the legally binding assessment within the framework of legal evidence evaluation then arises.
