Stress–Strength Reliability of a Failure Profile with Components Operating under the Internal Environmental Factors

In this paper, we study the stress–strength reliability of a failure profile in which, the components of the system are affected by the internal environmental factors. The internal environmental factors commonly change the random strength of a failure profile and have different effects on the random strength of profile components. Throughout this study, we investigated the effect of internal environmental factors under the various scenarios and computed the stress–strength reliability of a failure profile of order [Formula: see text]. Particularly, the stress–strength reliability of a [Formula: see text]-out-of-[Formula: see text] system has been evaluated based on several stochastic orders. In addition, the sensitivity analysis of the stress–strength reliability and the mean cost rate of failure profiles have been performed in the exponential model.

Multistep ahead prediction of temperature and humidity in solar greenhouse based on FAM-LSTM model

Solar greenhouses offer favorable climatic environments for the production of off-season crops in northern China. Greenhouse temperature and humidity are critical environmental factors influencing crop growth; therefore, it is crucial to predict the temperature and humidity. In this research, we constructed a feed-forward attention mechanism- long-short term memory (FAM-LSTM) model for the multistep prediction of temperature and humidity in a solar greenhouse. The FAM-LSTM model considered both internal and external environmental factors influencing crop growth, where the factors include temperature, humidity, light, soil temperature, and soil moisture. Then, we performed corresponding experiments employing this model in predicting both temperature and humidity at prediction horizons of 12, 24, 36, and 48 h. The FAM-LSTM model stands out due to its high accuracy compared with different models. The temperature prediction error of the model at four prediction horizons is primarily within [−0.5, 0.9], [−2.1, 1.7], [−0.9, 2.7], and [−1.8, 2.9] ℃, respectively. The humidity prediction errors of the model at four prediction horizons are mainly within [−1.9, 1.8], [−4.4, 3.6], [−6.9, 2.4], and [−5.8, 4.4] %, respectively. This study offers an effective temperature and humidity prediction approach for precise environmental regulation and damage warnings in solar greenhouses.

The article examines the problems of the operation of the enterprise's logistics system, which are relevant and require immediate resolution by optimizing logistics costs and improving the operation of this system as a whole. The connection between the optimization of logistics costs and the strengthening of the company's competitive advantages due to the successful selection of contractors, optimal product distribution channels, modeling of logistics systems and chains, and the creation of conditions for resource conservation is substantiated. The quality of logistics processes is reflected in the effective indicators of the transport company's activity, as costs aimed at the use of labor, means and labor items are minimized.
 The logistics system of a modern company is increasingly becoming the subject of scientific research and development as a key form of automation, integration, optimization and management of material resources and information flows circulating in business units. The issue of optimization of logistics costs of production enterprises is characterized by incompleteness and requires further scientific research.
 The quality of logistics processes is reflected in the effective indicators of the enterprise's activity due to the minimization of costs for the use of labor, funds and labor items. The main types of logistics costs were analyzed in the article. And also the need to determine the presence of hidden types of logistics costs was noted. It was outlined that the complexity of determining logistics costs is caused by the influence of internal and external environmental factors. Changes in the structure of logistics costs were analyzed based on the data of the investigated enterprise. The impact of labor costs on logistics workers of the selected enterprise was considered and the dynamics of costs associated with the provision of logistics services on the total amount of logistics costs was analyzed. It was determined that the relationship between the total logistics costs and the set of their factor characteristics is a close direct one. Correlation-regression analysis to identify influencing factors on the behavior of logistics costs of the analyzed enterprise was performed.
 It was substantiated that the definition of factors and their influence on logistics costs make it possible to influence the costs of the enterprise and ensure the attractiveness of the product for consumers. The influence of logistics levers on the profitability of the enterprise was schematically displayed. The indicators of logistics cost management assessment, which provide an opportunity to form a qualitative description of the state of the enterprise's logistics system, were given in the article.

EFFICIENCY OF ACTIVITY AND MANAGEMENT OF THE ENTERPRISE IN THE CONDITIONS OF POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION

The economic growth of the national economy, first of all, depends on the level of production development. It is production that forms the basis of the economy of any state. Successful functioning of enterprises in modern economic conditions largely depends on various factors of external and internal environment, as well as on how effectively and purposefully the enterprise is engaged in innovation activities. Growth of economy of any country occurs due to two factors only: accumulation of capital (means of production, raw materials) and deepening of division of labor. The creation and accumulation of capital is carried out by entrepreneurs when they invest part of their profits in means of production, raw materials and inputs. The greater the profit of entrepreneurs, the more they invest in the creation of new capital. The development and implementation of innovations at the enterprise should contribute to the growth of the technical and technological base of the enterprise, which is a part of the production capital materialized in buildings, structures, machinery, equipment and other means of labor, which are repeatedly used in production, transferring their value to the finished product. Manufacturing, services, transportation, and even agriculture are using an increasingly wide range of digital technologies. The underlying technologies and processes have far-reaching implications for the organization of work, production and commerce, reinforcing the existing organizational and geographic dispersion of knowledge-intensive production functions and occupational groups. Companies using digital technologies can improve the efficiency of their organizations and gain opportunities to access and serve consumers more easily, accelerate product development, and create new goods and services at lower costs without the need for extensive systems-level expertise or in-house IT staff.

Using Social Media Text Data to Analyze the Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Daily Urban Green Space Usage—A Case Study of Xiamen, China

While urban green spaces (UGSs) are important places for residents’ leisure activities, studies describing the long-term daily UGS usage of residents (including the total number of activities, the types of activities, and the touring experience) have not been conducted due to difficulties in data collection. Based on social media text data (SMTD), in this study, the total number of daily activities, the intensities of optional and social activities, and the daily touring experience in 100 UGSs in Xiamen, China, were inferred based on the ERNIE 3.0 text pre-training semantic classification model. Based on this, linear regression modeling was applied to analyze the internal environmental factors of the effects of places and external urban form factors regarding daily UGS usage. The research results revealed the following. (1) A descriptive study was conducted on the total numbers, types, and touring experience of activities using SMTD, and the results were verified by line transect surveys, management statistics, and a publicly available dataset. (2) The number of human activities in UGSs was found to be significantly influenced by historical and cultural facilities, nighttime lighting, population density, and the proportion of the floating population. (3) During the daytime, optional activities were found to be significantly influenced by the park type and historical and cultural facilities, and social activities were found to be significantly influenced by historical and cultural facilities and population density. In the evening, optional activities were found to be significantly influenced by the park type, historical and cultural facilities, nighttime lighting, and the proportion of the floating population, and social activities were found to be influenced by the proportion of the floating population. (4) Regarding the touring experience, in the daytime, the park type, green space ratio, and proportion of the floating population had significant effects on the touring experience. In the evening, the park type, historical and cultural facilities, and security factors were found to have significant effects on the touring experience. The methodology and findings of this study aid in the understanding of the differences in daytime and nighttime activities, and in the discovery of planning tools to promote human leisure activities in UGSs.

Festival Innovation in Times of Crisis

This article examines innovation in times of festival crises from a governance perspective using legitimacy theory. We conduct a case study of Adelaide Festival around three crises based on data drawn from annual reports, festival programs, and media articles from 1960 to 2021. Each crisis raises questions about the need to innovate, whether due to economic concerns or for new approaches to artistic programming, in order to safeguard legitimacy. However, the type of innovation varies based on internal and external environmental factors. Findings reveal tensions ranging from internal board and external stakeholder use of governance mechanisms, depending on the crisis and perceptions around art forms (e. g., elitism and Aboriginality). The findings provide insights on how appropriate use of governance mechanisms can help to balance tensions between maintaining legitimacy and promoting innovation. Innovation, nonetheless, did not reposition the festival in the long run: it remains elitist, compromising artistic vision.

As of now, it has been proven that carbohydrate imbalance is of paramount importance in the biochemical processes regulated by the endothelium, whereas the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the need for a more detailed study of the impact of endothelial dysfunction on the body. The paper reviews the literature on studying the mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction in carbohydrate imbalance and compares the clinical and morphological indicators in patients who have and do not have a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and COVID-19.

The rising environmentalists: Fostering environmental goal attainment through volunteer tourism

This study attends to Generation Zers’ volunteer tourism. It draws on self-determination and goal-setting theories to synthesize a model delineating how the interplay of internal and external environmental motivational factors reshapes green volunteering involvement amid the pandemic, leading to environmental goal attainment and persistent endeavors. The inquiry adopted an online survey-based design with data collected from 340 rising environmentalists. Results first suggest that environmental self-efficacy and social climate are positively related to green volunteering involvement, with environmental self-efficacy exhibiting a more profound effect. These relationships are also moderated by eudaimonic environmental pursuits in that the relationships remain stronger when volunteers pursue eudaimonia to a high degree. Furthermore, involvement is evident in fostering environmental goal attainment, leading to pro-environmental behaviors and advocacy. With the above findings taken together, this investigation sheds light on environmental goal attainment through volunteer tourism amid the COVID-19 turbulence. It brings to light a motivation–goal attainment–behavior model that deserves investigating.

Construction of Enterprise Legal Risk Prevention and Control System Based on the Rule of Law Environment

Due to the growth of economy, the increasing competition in the reform of enterprise system and the emergence of legal constraints, it is urgent to raise the awareness of legal management in the management activities of enterprises. While facing opportunities, modern enterprises also face many challenges and risks. In the whole process of enterprise management, due to internal and external environmental factors, enterprises may face different legal risks all the time. In this article, the current situation of enterprise legal risk is analyzed, and the back propagation neural network (BPNN) is used to build an enterprise legal risk assessment model, which enriches the basic theory of legal risk assessment and improves the risk prevention and resolution ability and management efficiency of modern enterprises. Noise reduction is added to the algorithm, which optimizes the robustness of data features and improves the data generalization ability of BPNN model. After many iterations, the accuracy of this method is obviously better than that of the traditional BPNN model, with an accuracy of over 96% and an error reduction of 33.64%. Applying the legal risk assessment model based on BPNN can effectively shorten the response time of the system and reduce the incidence of legal risks in enterprises.

The article reveals the organizational and economic principles of building a mechanism for managing the commodity specialization of agricultural enterprises. Factors affecting the reproduction of production resources as agricultural production factors are defined. It has been established that they have both a general economic character and are manifested at the level of subjects of agricultural management, are subjective or objective. The factors that determine the need for systemic legal influence on the management of commodity specialization of agricultural enterprises have been determined. The elements of the architecture of the organizational and economic mechanism of managing commodity specialization of agricultural enterprises have been developed and substantiated. The conceptual basis of the commodity specialization management mechanism assumes the definition of principles, goals, and tasks, as well as a set of tools for the agricultural specialization management mechanism, which is aimed at achieving sustainable functioning and development of enterprises. The specified concept takes into account the trends in the formation of economic potential, the internal infrastructure of the enterprise, the leading architectural solutions, and standards, the management model and requirements for management processes, and also defines the principles of transition from the existing state of the enterprise to the target one. It has been proven that this mechanism allows the implementation of adaptive strategies for the development of industrial and commercial activity due to the careful consideration of the effects of external and internal environmental factors when mobilizing the components of production and economic potential, as well as determining the configuration of product specialization management systems in enterprise management.

Pathophysiological aspects of free radical mechanisms of formation of skin scars

In the scientific literature, there are no complete scientifically substantiated conclusion about the functional state of the antioxidant status of the skin, its scars and the possibilities of their local correction as part of complex therapy. We have analyzed the literature data reflecting the issues of complex therapy of cicatricial changes in the skin in order to determine the feasibility for the effective use of antioxidants in the local correction of oxidative stress disorders. The pathophysiological aspects of free radical mechanisms of skin scar formation have been studied. The cell pool that forms the skin, as a result of tissue respiration, continuously produces free radicals. Both external and internal environmental factors can lead to disruption of the dynamic balance in the body's natural antioxidant defense system, reducing the potential of its biological capacity. The phospholipid layer of the cell membrane, nuclear and mitochondrial DNA can be exposed to aggressive action of free radicals, thereby causing or aggravating the existing pathology of the skin. Reduced biological activity of enzymatic and non-enzymatic components of the body's antioxidant defense system does not properly lead to the deactivation of free radicals, which requires other approaches to local therapy.
