It is a conti nuati on of a series of works covering the cur- volunteers. It is a continuation of a series of works covering the cur- rent processes in language and speech. The main focus here is placed on abbreviation and univerbation as the processes able to create compressed modification of nominative units – both analytical, and synthetic, i.e., the processes belonging to internal, speech-based word formation. The topicality of the paper lies in its focus on phenomena that gradually become the history of the Ukrainian language and Slavic studies as a whole, including neologization and adjacent phenomena. Тhe research aims to define the productivity of compressives as units of military discourse, on one hand, and as the emergent linguistic material, on the other. The objectives of the study are as follows: 1) to separate compressives from the traditional derivates; 2) to determine the criteria for distinguishing the main compressive processes – abbreviation and univerbation; 3) to formulate the causes of the emergence of the investigated slang; 4) to give reasoning for the study of compressives in military discourse as a pro- spective research issue. The main research methods include the descriptive and structural ones, as they help demonstrate the specificity of univerbs and abbreviation as instances of speech compression. We have utilized the dis- tributive analysis approach to determine the types of nominative units’ transformation. Military discourse is the field of language functioning that fosters the production of neologisms emerging as a result of different types of compression. It reflects the dynamic nature of military discourse with its need to convey maximum amount of information within the minimum period of time, striving for clearance, laconic forms, and rich content. Within the range of Ukrainian military lexicon under analysis, we single out nouns (formed by means of abbreviation, univerbation, and simulation of univerbation) as well as verbs and their verb forms (which often result from univerbation). The emergence of compressive nominations in question follows the general tendency of lexical nomination towards modifying analytical or complex synthetic units into shorter speech segments, being a universal feature of the current state of the Indo-European languages as a whole.

Interaction of рarticles of different size classes in the separation flows

At present, theoretical concepts of gravitational separation processes are mainly limited by the study of the interaction between a flow and a solitary particle. Then the main conclusions of this analysis are applied to a mass process. However, this analysis is absolutely insufficient, because some elementary phenomena such as the ingress of coarse particles into the fine product output and vice versa cannot be interpreted from its standpoint. It is also impossible to predict the results of the classification of a material with a specific granulometric composition on a specific apparatus on its basis. This article discusses o more complete model of the process. It is based on the behavior of a plurality of particles of different sizes. This made it possible to determine the probalitity of particles of different sizes in the separation flows. This is how on additional parameter is obtained in the general process model.

The evaluation of a lean healthcare concept to improve the implementation of Digital Health innovations in secondary health care: a qualitative study within a Dutch hospital setting

BackgroundDigital health innovations are considered a promising avenue in transforming the resourcing, organization and delivery of healthcare services and are often nurtured in organization-based innovation labs. One of their biggest challenges is developing effective processes for sifting through ideas. To improve the existing work process, innovation management is often rooted in lean thinking principles. To illustrate the optimization of the efficiency of innovation processes, an example of a lean innovation process concept will be evaluated in this study.MethodsThe setting of this study was the Health Innovation Lab (HIL) of the Maastricht University Medical Center + (MUMC +) in the Netherlands. The aim was to evaluate its lean “speed dating” concept to improve the implementation of Digital Health innovations in secondary health care. A qualitative study was performed based on a focus group and semi-structured interviews. 36 stakeholders were selected by purposive sampling. Data was collected from 11 respondents. The transcripts of the focus group and interviews were coded according to the open and axial coding phases of the methods of Grounded Theory.ResultsFive major themes emerged during the thematic analysis of the transcriptions: (1) Preparation before the Sign in, (2) Mapping out the process between Sign in and Sign out, (3) Defining the roles and deliverables of experts, (4) Guiding the idea owner, and (5) Supporting capacity of resources.ConclusionsThrough multidisciplinary interaction, by encouraging creative thinking and by fostering innovative behavior, innovation labs cultivate the development of innovative solutions. While the creative phase of innovation commonly exhibits non-linearity, most innovation pilots and implementations follow a linear path. This linearity seems to contradict the importance of flexible approaches to prevent waste in the context of innovation. However, our results suggest that improving cooperation between stakeholders may be a strategy to mitigate this effect. This paper broadens the knowledge on how multidisciplinary interaction during a lean innovation process can be improved, thereby enhancing the implementation of DH innovations.

FORMATION OF MARKETING AUTOMATION SYSTEM

PROBLEM STATEMENT. This article highlights the main problems and prospects for the development of a marketing automation system through the lens of academic research. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE. The aim of the article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the main approaches to the formation of a marketing automation system through the lens of modern academic research, which will allow identifying the most promising approaches from the perspective of practical implementation. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS. It is hypothesized that the key method, regardless of the approach to the formation of a marketing automation system (MAS), is the approach known as project management. METHODS. The author utilized general scientific and specialized research methods. Systematic method and content analysis were used to define the key concepts of the marketing automation process. Comparative analysis was used to identify differences between approaches to forming MAS in B2B and B2C sectors. Case study method was used to investigate specific examples of MAS formation in various business organizations. RESULTS. It has been determined that scientists successfully highlight many of the key elements of of Marketing Automation Systems (MAS), particularly focusing on specific aspects of marketing automation functions. However, there remains a need for further research on the approaches, methods, and tools for MAS development. Specifically, when considering the effect of implementing comprehensive, multifunctional, and integrated systems, the impact is undoubtedly extensive, especially in the case of leading martech companies, as documented by researchers. The study of their experience in developing of MAS, not only in the context of advancing technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and others, but also the challenge of integrating the human component with the corresponding software in this process, should become one of the primary directions for future research. CONCLUSIONS. It has been shown that the problem of forming a marketing automation system is gradually moving beyond the scope of business activities of companies and becoming the subject of academic research. At the same time, specialized studies still predominantly focus on specific aspects of the application of marketing automation (MA) functions, which are potentially considered as components of a holistic MAS. It has been proven that the main practical approaches to forming MAS are independent development and implementation by the business organization itself; acquisition of a ready-made solutions; or a combination of both approaches with corresponding advantages and risks. KEYWORDS: marketing; marketing automation; marketing automation system; project management; business processes; marketing processes.

Structural benefits on prescription? Exploring potentials and challenges of the pSVV concept in the approval process of digital health applications in Germany

With the introduction of the Digital Healthcare Act (DVG) at the end of 2019, digital health applications (DiGA) were included in the statutory health insurance in Germany. DiGA are digital medical products whose primary function is based on digital technologies. In the definition of the approval process, the term "therapeutic benefit", which is crucial to the evaluation of pharmaceuticals, was expanded to include the broader concept of "positive healthcare effect" ("pVE"). In particular, the concept of "patient-relevant structural and procedural improvements" (pSVV) has been introduced alongside the well-known "medical benefit" to facilitate market access for applications that specifically aim to strengthen the role of the patient in healthcare. Three and a half years after the implementation of DiGA, it has become evident that the concept of pSVV has not yet been adopted in the healthcare system to the extent intended by the legislation. As of July 1st 2024, only one of the 56 listed DiGA uses pSVV as a primary endpoint, with ten others using pSVV as a secondary endpoint. A qualitative approach was chosen to explore the new and under-researched topic of DiGA and, in particular, pSVV. The Grounded Theory method was applied in combination with the Gioia method, which is particularly suitable for analyzing innovative subject areas. The inductive approach allows for new concepts to be developed from the data of the study participants, thus supporting flexible and dynamic theory building. Decision-makers from groups including DiGA manufacturers with and without pSVV, manufacturers of digital medical products without DiGA approval, consultancies, and institutions involved in the DiGA approval process were included in the study by conducting semi-structured interviews. The evaluation was conducted through a multi-step analysis leading to the identification of first-order concepts, second-order themes, and aggregated dimensions. The developed data structure was supported by the presentation of relevant quotes as part of the Anhang A. The analysis indicates that refining the benefit definition for the pSVV categories defined in the DiGA guidelines is critical to the successful establishment of the pSVV concept. Additionally, further analysis of potential methods for demonstrating pSVV, suitable measurement tools, and the general inclusion of economic considerations in the benefit analysis appear sensible. The qualitative analysis demonstrates that refining the pSVV concept and defining appropriate measurement methods are essential for a successful implementation in the German healthcare system. An economic evaluation could bring objectivity to the debate on DiGA costs and contribute to transparency in the approval process. Further research and the involvement of key stakeholders are necessary to clarify the intended benefits within the pSVV categories, thereby promoting the introduction of digital health applications with a particular focus on empowering patients in healthcare.

Do counselor candidates have individualizing or binding moral foundations?

ABSTRACT Recent research has highlighted the application of moral foundations theory in counseling settings as it can provide a complex framework to understand the concept of morality, moral diversity, values, and decision-making processes. The emergence and development of social justice and multicultural counseling competencies has particularly raised important concerns regarding the application of values in counseling. The present study examined moral foundations as predictors of counseling students’ universality – diversity orientation. Three hundred and fifty-six counseling students at the undergraduate level participated in the research (M age = 21.86, SD = 2.26, 77.1% female). The results of a series of multiple regression analyses indicated that individualizing foundations were stronger predictors of universality – diversity orientation. Fairness was the only significant predictor of the behavioral aspect of universality – diversity orientation (diversity of contact), while fairness and care robustly predicted the cognitive aspect of universality – diversity orientation (relativistic appreciation). Care, authority, and loyalty significantly predicted the emotional aspect (comfort with differences). Overall, these results suggest that the participating counselor candidates were more likely to rely on individualizing foundations for cultural competence.

Valorisation of anaerobic digestate to nutrients and humic substances

Nutrient-rich product fractions were produced from abundant, yet currently chemically under-utilized nutrients-containing feedstock, residual digestate formed during anaerobic digestion (AD). The objective of this research was to experiment individually three sub-processes, i.e., precipitation of organic humic substances and phosphorus from the digestate reject water, liberation of reject water nitrogen as ammonia gas during the lime treatment and recovering it with membrane contactor (MC), and finally novel utilization of ammonia for leaching nitrogen-enriched organic substances from the digestate residue. With calcium precipitation, the main part of the phosphorus and significant part of organic material could be precipitated, and simultaneously ammonium could be liberated with good yield as ammonia gas, so that it could be recovered by MC. On the other hand, ammonia could be used with promising results as an extraction media, by which the solubility of the organic matter and the content of nitrogen attached to the soluble organic fraction could be significantly increased. Hence, all sub-processes were found to achieve their goals and digestate could be successfully utilized as a feedstock for manufacture of varying nutrient-rich products. Combining these three subprocesses together enables the development of novel cascading process concept, in which treated product stream can be used in the next process step and in which each subprocess step benefits the next.

En busca del reenvío perdido: Un análisis crítico de la solución prevista para la impugnación de la sentencia condenatoria en el Código Procesal Penal Federal de la República Argentina

This article presents a normative argument against the ban on retrial in the appellate stage in the Federal Criminal Procedure Code of the Argentine Republic. According to the article, this rule results in only factually innocent appellants being able to seek a review after conviction. The rationale behind the article bonds this rule with the phenomenon of Innocentrism and the defense of actual innocence as the primary value of the criminal process. To this end, the article analyses both the representative literature of the Innocence Movement and its reform proposals, and the critiques of these. With this theoretical framework, the article argues that a series of values identified with the concept of legal innocence and due process do not receive due attention in the appellate stage in the Federal Criminal Procedure Code of Argentina. Lastly, the article posits that the provision of retrial would broaden the possibilities for adequate resolution for different cases of injustice in the criminal process.

Competitive degradation process based monitoring of steer-by-wire system under unknown degradation features

Abstract Monitoring of steer-by-wire (SBW) system under intermittent faults is challenging since it is difficult to obtain the priori knowledge of monotonous degradation feature of intermittent fault due to its stochastic nature. To deal with this issue, this paper develops a prognosis method for the SBW system under unknown degradation features based on the concept of competitive degradation process (CDP). With the aid of fault diagnosis module, the possible faulty components can be determined, where the fault isolation estimators and the expanded analytical redundancy relations are used to improve the isolabilities of sensor faults. For each faulty component, three degradation features are defined and the monotonicity of each feature is unknown beforehand. To judge the monotonicity of the feature, the competition index is developed in the CDP and the feature is applicable (i.e. monotonous) if the predefined criterion can be satisfied using the established dataset of the feature. Once the applicable features are determined, the corresponding degradation models are built for remaining useful life prediction. Experiment results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

Guided Inquiry: Science Learning Techniques in Improving Elementary School Students' Process Skills and Concept Mastery

This study aims to improve the science process skills and scientific attitudes of grade 3 elementary school students in Nurul Ilmi Jambi. The approach used in this study is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design. The population used in the study was grade 3 students of Nurul Ilmi Integrated Islamic Elementary School, with a total of 203 people from seven locations. The samples used were from two locations taken randomly, with a total sample of 58 people. Data were collected using test techniques for both process skill variables and concept mastery, namely using multiple choice questions of 25 questions each. Data analysis was carried out using N-gain and T-test on pretest and posttest scores. The results of the study showed that guided inquiry had a positive impact on the development of students' science process skills and concept mastery. Based on the N-gain test, SPS and concept mastery increased on average with the "moderate" category. Based on the T-test, it is known that each variable has a significant mean difference between the pretest and posttest tests. Therefore, at the end of this study, Guided Inquiry could be an alternative for teachers in an effort to Improve Elementary School Students' Process Skills and Concept Mastery in science subjects.

Streamlined Clarification and Capture Process for Monoclonal Antibodies Using Fluidized Bed Centrifugation and Multi-Column Chromatography With Membrane Adsorbers.

Harmonizing unit operations in the downstream process of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has a high potential to overcome throughput limitations and reduce manufacturing costs. This study proposes a streamlined clarification and capture (S-CC) process concept for the continuous processing of cell broth harvested from a connected bioreactor. The process was realized with a fluidized bed centrifuge connected to depth and sterile filters, a surge tank, and a multi-column chromatography (MCC) unit. The MCC unit was operated in the rapid cycling simulated moving bed (RC-BioSMB) mode with five convective diffusive membrane adsorbers (MAs). A control strategy and the surge tank were used to adjust the loading flow rate of the MCC unit. The mAb was recovered with a total process yield of 90%, with high removal of the process-related impurities HCP (2.1 LRV) and DNA (2.9 LRV). Moreover, the S-CC process productivity of 4.2 g h- 1 was up to 5.3 times higher than for comparable, hypothetical batch MA processes. In addition, the buffer consumption of the capture step could be reduced from 2.0 L g- 1 in batch mode to 1.2 L g- 1 in the RC-BioSMB mode. These results demonstrate the high potential of streamlined interconnected unit operations to improve the overall mAb downstream process performance.

Analysis of Technological Pathways and Development Suggestions for Blast Furnace Low-Carbon Ironmaking

Under the global dual-carbon background, heightened public awareness of climate change and strengthened carbon taxation policies are increasing pressure on the steel industry to transition. Given the urgent need for carbon reduction, the exploration of low-carbon pathways in a blast furnace (BF) metallurgy emerges as crucial. Evaluating both asset retention and technological maturity, the development of low-carbon technologies for BFs represents the most direct and effective technical approach. This article introduces global advancements in low-carbon metallurgical technologies for BFs, showcasing international progress encompassing hydrogen enrichment, oxygen enrichment, carbon cycling technologies, biomass utilization, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies. Hydrogen enrichment is identified as the primary technological upgrade currently, although its carbon emission reduction potential is limited to 10% to 30%, insufficient to fundamentally address high carbon emissions from BFs. Therefore, this article innovatively proposes a comprehensive low-carbon metallurgical process concept with the substitution of carbon-neutral biomass fuels at the source stage—intensification of hydrogen enrichment in the process stage—fixation of CCUS at the end stage (SS-IP-FE). This process integrates the cleanliness of biomass, the high-efficiency of hydrogen enrichment, and the thoroughness of carbon fixation through CCUS, synergistically enhancing overall effectiveness. This integrated strategy holds promise for achieving a 50% reduction in carbon emissions from BFs in the long processes. Critical elements of these core technologies are analyzed, assessing their cost-effectiveness and emission reduction potential, underscoring comprehensive low-carbon metallurgy as a pivotal direction for future steel industry development with high technological feasibility and emission reduction efficacy. The article also proposes a series of targeted recommendations, suggesting short-term focus on technological optimization, the medium-term enhancement of technology research and application, and the long-term establishment of a comprehensive low-carbon metallurgical system.

Real-Time Modeling for Design and Control of Material Additive Manufacturing Processes

The use of digital twin and shadow concepts for industrial material processes has introduced new approaches to bridge the gap between physical and cyber manufacturing processes. Consequently, many multidisciplinary areas, such as advanced sensor technologies, material science, data analytics, and machine learning algorithms, are employed to create these hybrid systems. Meanwhile, new additive manufacturing (AM) processes for metals and polymers, based on emerging technologies, have shown promise for the manufacturing of sophisticated parts with complex geometries. These processes are undergoing a major transformation with the advent of digital technology, hybrid physical-data-driven modeling, and fast-reduced models. This study presents a fresh perspective on hybrid physical-data-driven and reduced order modeling (ROM) techniques for the digitalization of AM processes within a digital twin concept. The main contribution of this study is to demonstrate the benefits of ROM and machine learning (ML) technologies for process data handling, optimization/control, and their integration into the real-time assessment of AM processes. Therefore, a novel combination of efficient data-solver technology and an architecturally designed neural network (NN) module is developed for transient manufacturing processes with high heating/cooling rates. Furthermore, a real-world case study is presented, showcasing the use of hybrid modeling with ROM and ML schemes for an industrial wire arc AM (WAAM) process.

Real-time autonomous control of a continuous macroscopic process as demonstrated by plastic forming.

To meet the need for more adaptable and expedient approaches in research and manufacturing, we present a continuous autonomous system that leverages real-time, in situ characterization and an active-learning-based decision-making processor. This system was applied to a plastic film forming process to demonstrate its capability in autonomously determining process conditions for specified film dimensions without human intervention. Application of the system to nine film dimensions (width and thickness) highlighted its ability to explore the search space and identify appropriate and stable process conditions, with an average of 11 characterization-adjustment iterations and a processing time of 19 minutes per width, thickness combination. The system successfully avoided common pitfalls, such as repetitive over-correction, and demonstrated high accuracy, with R2 values of 0.87 and 0.90 for film width and thickness, respectively. Moreover, the active learning algorithm enabled the system to begin exploration with zero training data, effectively addressing the complex and interdependent relationships between control factors (material supply rate, applied force, material viscosity) in the continuous plastic forming process. Given that the core concept of this autonomous process can, in principle, be transferred to other continuous material processing systems, these results have implications for accelerating progress in both research and industry.

(Re)Writing the City from Within: An Exploratory Approach to Sustainable Urban Morphologies from the Dialogue Between Public Space and Public Transport in Barcelona’s Trambesòs

Research on urban transport and mobility through everyday practices has generated new theoretical and methodological approaches to achieve more sustainable urban morphologies. This paper focuses on the characterization of the process of urban (re)qualification through the binomial of public space–public transport, based on the analysis of Trambesòs tramway in Barcelona, from 2004 to the present. This methodology consisted of an exploratory morphological analysis that identified patterns derived from punctual interventions, articulation axes, and saturation pieces in the urban fabric. The results revealed three main morphological patterns: the configuration of a particular character in each public space intervention associated with the tramway, the morphological improvement and dynamization of the urban fabric, and the transformation of the city’s image through the standardization of accessibility conditions, a key social sustainability indicator. In the discussion, the results are triangulated with the concepts of urban morphology and social processes and compared with quantitative studies, which can serve as a foundation for further in-depth research. In conclusion, the tramway has facilitated a transition from urban discontinuity and segregation to continuity and cohesion, highlighting the impact of the public space–public transport binomial on more sustainable urban morphologies. This contributes to how urban morphological analysis provides new approaches to understanding public transport as an extension of public space and support for urban habitability.

Autophagy in the nervous system: general principles and specific functions

Autophagy is an intracellular mechanism for the isolation, transport and degradation of macromolecules and organelles. The physiological significance of autophagy lies, firstly, in maintaining the constancy of the intracellular environment through the timely disposal of proteins with a disrupted structure and damaged organelles. Secondly, due to the selective degradation of macromolecules, autophagy supplies the cell with monomers, which are then used by it to synthesize new compounds, which serves to ensure the rearrangement of cellular metabolism in the processes of cell differentiation, ontogenesis and adaptation to environmental challenges. Autophagy is an extremely important mechanism for maintaining normal functioning of postmitotic and differentiated cells, including neurons. Impaired neuronal autophagy leads to the formation of aggregated protein plaques, the accumulation of damaged cellular organelles, defects in the structure of processes and neuronal degeneration, which often accompanies to the progression of some forms of neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, the role of autophagy in synaptic plasticity and memory mechanisms has been established. Since autophagy has a significant impact on cellular metabolism, the study of the regulation and main pathways of this mechanism may be crucial in the elaboration of means and approaches to the treatment and prevention of many pathologies that progress with age. This review describes the basic concepts of the autophagy process, summarizes the key functions of autophagy in cells, and also presents current data on its role in ensuring the normal metabolism and implementation of specific functions of neurons.

Personal Identity Matters

Abstract This article considers whether process philosophy can provide a more promising basis for understanding the closely related problems of persons and personal identity than more traditional or mainstream philosophical approaches. In particular, the article focuses on whether process conceptions of persons and personal identity provide an approach that offers greater potential for resolving the duplication and fission examples within the literature in this area than the approaches taken by Bernard Williams and Derek Parfit.

ANALYSIS OF PSEUDO THINKING PROCESS SKILLS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH ETHNOMATHEMATICS BASED PROBLEM SOLVING

This research aims to analyze process skills in pseudo-thinking through ethnomathematics-based problem solving in elementary school students. The subjects used in this research were 4 students from class IVB of SD Negeri 76 Muaro Jambi involving 4 subjects, namely 2 male and female subjects who thought pseudo-true and 2 male and female subjects who thought pseudo-false. Data collection techniques in this research used tests, interviews and documentation. Data analysis used in this research includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research procedures carried out in this research include the pre-field stage, field work stage, and data analysis stage. The results of the study stated that the four subjects showed various characteristics in using pseudo thinking patterns when answering mathematics questions. Each subject has abilities in several aspects of process skills in pseudo-true thinking, such as observing information, however, they still have shortcomings and difficulties in explaining the calculation process, communicating results, and understanding mathematical concepts as a whole. Consequently, further development is required to improve their processing skills in pseudo-thinking.

Mechanical Foundations of the Generalized Second Law and the Irreversibility Principle

We follow the Boltzmann-Clausius-Maxwell (BCM) proposal to establish the generalized second law (GSL) that is applicable to a system of any size, including a single particle system as our example establishes, and that supercedes the celebrated second law (SL) of increase of entropy of an isolated system. It is merely a consequence of the mechanical equilibrium (stable or unstable) principle (Mec-EQ-P) of analytical mechanics and the first law. We justify an irreversibility priciple that covers all processes, spontaneous or not, and having both positive and negative nonequilibrium temperatures temperatures T defined by (dQ/dS)E. Our novel approach to establish GSL/SL is the inverse of the one used in classical thermodynamics and clarifies the concept of spontaneous processes so that dS≥0 for T>0 and dS<0 for T<0. Nonspontaneous processes such as creation of internal constraints are not covered by GSL/SL. Our demonstration establishes that Mec-EQ-P controls spontaneous processes, and that temperature (positive and negative) must be considered an integral part of dissipation.
