Compliance with quality criteria for endoscopic examinations (sociological aspects)

The article presents the results of a sociological study conducted at the Penza Institute for Advanced Medical Studies with the aim of studying the level of knowledge of endoscopists about the quality criteria for performing endoscopic examinations and equipping endoscopic rooms with specialized equipment. The questionnaires of 47 endoscopists who were trained at the Department of Surgery and Endoscopy were analyzed. 57 % of respondents are aware of the need to comply with quality criteria in endoscopy; all doctors take informed voluntary consent from the patient before the study; when formulating a conclusion, 15 % use validated international classifications; the detection rate of adenomas during colonoscopy is calculated to be 2 %; 21 % perform photo documentation; 6 % comply with biopsy protocols. This is largely due to the incomplete technical equipment of endoscopy rooms: only 17 % of doctors described the number of biopsy forceps as sufficient (20 or more), 43 % of doctors note the presence of video endoscopic equipment at the workplace, however, the condition of endoscopes in most budgetary medical institutions is satisfactory, closer to bad.

Electronic Notifications in Jordanian Law

The study examined the legal system of electronic telegrams in the system of using electronic means in civil proceedings The Jordanian legislator was created to keep abreast of recent electronic developments and to use them to facilitate litigation proceedings against the parties to the proceedings and to address the obstacles and problems encountered in conventional reporting and researchers used the descriptive and analytical approach by describing the concept of electronic reporting, Analyzing the texts of the Civil Trial Code and Code of Procedure and amendments. This study has reached several conclusions. The ease of use, as well as several suggestions, is important for the legislator to organize texts setting out the system's electronic reporting procedures because of the inadequacy of the texts contained in the Code of Civil Procedure, and the Provision of more modern technical equipment and development, numbers and qualification of Ministry of Justice staff to use means.

A Statistical Review of European Carriers’ Flight Delays and the Assessment of Delay Factors

Disruption is an inherent risk that might arise because of the complexity and dynamic nature of air transport operations. In the aviation business, disruption can happen for a variety of reasons, including poor weather, strikes, and political factors. This study aims to analyse flight delays that European airlines encounter and assess the dependencies between different operation parameters through correspondence analysis in contingency tables that are visually represented using correspondence maps. This study examined data from selected European airlines between 2018 and 2022, which contained information on the length of delay, the reasons associated with it, and the specific characteristics of each flight, such as the type of flight, the type of aircraft, and the scheduled departure time. The result showed that even though there was a large decrease in the overall number of flights operated during the pandemic period in 2020 and 2021, the percentage of delayed flights still varies above 55%. Long-haul flights and larger aircraft tend to have longer delays. Except for 2020 and 2021, the percentage of delayed flights for different lengths of delays and scheduled departure times did not significantly change across the review years. The evaluation reason for delay appeared to increase with time due to airport or authority restrictions, while there was a tendency for the number of delayed flights related to technical aircraft, equipment, and ground operations to decrease. By developing an analysis of the root causes of flight delays using case studies that have already been published by different researchers and determining the degree to which an operating parameter contributes, we may provide guidelines for future studies that will uncover ways to minimize flight delays.

Interaction of the CIS internal affairs bodies in the prevention of terrorism

Relevance. Terrorism poses a serious threat to the security and stability not only of individual states but also of the entire international community since by 2023 it has acquired a transnational character and is a threat not only to the internal security of the country but also to the external one. It is necessary to cooperate with the CIS internal affairs bodies and develop effective methods of preventing terrorist acts to combat terrorism.Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction of the CIS internal affairs bodies in the prevention of terrorism and identify effective methods of combating the terrorist threat.Methodology. The following methods were used in the course of the study: analytical, synthesis, statistical.Results. The analysis of normative legal acts and international treaties was also conducted and a comparison of ways to combat terrorism in the CIS member states was conducted. The study showed that the effectiveness of the fight against terrorism in the CIS depends on the quality of interaction between internal affairs bodies and their technical equipment and professional training. In addition, the study showed that the interaction of law enforcement agencies of different countries is more effective than the fight against crime factors within a single state.Conclusions. An international united struggle can block the supply routes and financial support for terrorism. Thus, the study indicates the similarity of international legal acts and CIS legislation and their imperfection, which allows committing terrorist acts.

Induced oscillatory brain responses under virtual reality conditions in the context of repetition priming.

In the human electroencephalogram (EEG), induced oscillatory responses in various frequency bands are regarded as valuable indices to examine the neural mechanisms underlying human memory. While the advent of virtual reality (VR) drives the investigation of mnemonic processing under more lifelike settings, the joint application of VR and EEG methods is still in its infancy (e.g., due to technical limitations impeding the signal acquisition). The objective of the present EEG study was twofold. First, we examined whether the investigation of induced oscillations under VR conditions yields equivalent results compared to standard paradigms. Second, we aimed at obtaining further insights into basic memory-related brain mechanisms in VR. To these ends, we relied on a standard implicit memory design, namely repetition priming, for which the to-be-expected effects are well-documented for conventional studies. Congruently, we replicated a suppression of the evoked potential after stimulus onset. Regarding the induced responses, we observed a modulation of induced alphaband in response to a repeated stimulus. Importantly, our results revealed a repetition-related suppression of the high-frequencyinduced gammaband response (>30Hz), indicating the sharpening of a cortical object representation fostering behavioral priming effects. Noteworthy, the analysis of the induced gammaband responses required a number of measures to minimize the influence of external and internal sources of artefacts (i.e., the electrical shielding of the technical equipment and the control for miniature eye movements). In conclusion, joint VR-EEG studies with a particular focus on induced oscillatory responses offer a promising advanced understanding of mnemonic processing under lifelike conditions.

"Internet+" Perspective on the Application of Blended Learning Model in Ideological and Political Education in Private Universities: A Study

This research focuses on the ideological and political education in Chinese private universities, exploring the application and effectiveness of the blended learning model in the context of the "Internet+" era. The rapid development of the "Internet+" has posed new challenges and opportunities for ideological and political education in higher education institutions. In order to better adapt to the learning needs of modern students and enhance the quality of ideological and political courses, the blended learning model has emerged as a viable solution. In this paper, we first review the impact of the "Internet+" on ideological and political education in higher education and the practical issues faced by private universities in this field. Then, we introduce the theoretical foundation of the blended learning model, emphasizing its potential and applicability in higher education. Next, we propose a blended learning design scheme for ideological and political courses in private universities, including the selection of course content and the organization of online and offline teaching activities. Through empirical research, we analyze the practical application effects of the blended learning model in ideological and political courses. Feedback from students and teachers indicates that the blended learning model can enhance student engagement and learning interest, facilitating effective ideological and political education. However, we also identify some potential challenges and issues, such as the requirements for technical equipment and the need for teacher training. Based on the comprehensive research results, we conclude that the blended learning model has brought about positive changes in ideological and political education in private universities within the "Internet+" context but still requires further refinement and development. Finally, this study provides recommendations for future development to promote the sustainable growth of the blended learning model in ideological and political courses at private universities, offering students a richer and more valuable ideological and political education.

«...ЦЕ ДИВО, ЩО МИ НЕ НАРОБИЛИ ПОМИЛОК ЩЕ БІЛЬШЕ»: ГАРРІ ГОПКІНС І ПОЧАТОК ПРОГРАМ «НОВОГО КУРСУ» (1933–1935 рр.)

The article deals with the social programs in the United States initiated in the first years of the reforms by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration, known as the New Deal. The purpose of this study was to analyze the activity of Harry Hopkins in 1933–1935 with the intention of presenting the author’s evaluation of its outcomes. Methodology. The research is based on the traditional narrative history method, along with source criticism, and examines the topic in terms of chronology. The author studied multiple sources to present the historical context of the events, validate the claims in historiography, and formulate her own interpretation of the presented problem in U.S. history. The study referred to the archival and library collections of the Roosevelt Institute for American Studies (RIAS) in Middelburg, the Netherlands. The author used microfilms and technical equipment at the RIAS while working with primary sources (documents, letters, diaries, newspaper articles, etc.). Novelty of the research. The article covers a topic unrepresented in Ukrainian American studies before. It also stands out for appealing to the early period of the New Deal and Harry Hopkins’ role in it (1933–1935), while other works (by American authors first of all) often deal with a broader and, therefore, more generalized context. In conclusion, the author summarized her findings on Harry Hopkins’ leadership in 1933–1935 as head of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. And emphasized the outcomes of the federal relief programs for the unemployed and poor in the frames of FERA, noting that they were often contradictory yet pivotal for shaping the social policies of the U.S. government in the New Deal era.

Student adaptation to distance learning: An analysis of the effectiveness, benefits and risks of distance education from the perspective of university students

The research study provides an analysis of the effectiveness of distance education from the perspective of university students and contributes to the reflection of the current trend of introducing combined studies in higher education. The research was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic, when most of the higher education was primarily shifted to distance learning. The aim was to identify factors influencing students' adaptation to this “new” learning model. The findings of the mixed (qualitative and quantitative) investigation, in which students commented on two open-ended questions focusing on the positive and negative effects of distance learning via an online survey form, were processed using content categorical analysis. The frequencies of responses by category were then evaluated using binary logistic regression based on odds ratios. Ordinal and cardinal data were assessed using both descriptive and inductive statistical analysis.The results showed that, in addition to teaching methods and content, the adaptation of the students themselves to distance education plays an important role and that there are significant differences in this adaptation among students depending on gender, type of study programme and their learning preferences. We also found that contact with teachers remains a key element of student success, and that maintaining communication with teachers is essential for setting an adequate pace of learning and for minimizing student frustration. We identified key factors of adaptation that influence student success in distance education, such as personality profile, motivation, study skills, and self-study competences. An important outcome of this study was the finding that it is necessary to specify educational contents that can be taught at a distance and those that require only face-to-face instruction. This appears to be a key prerequisite for the effective implementation of distance education in universities. The study also points to the need to evaluate the effectiveness of different teaching methods for learning in terms of their impact on student success in distance education mode. Based on the results obtained, we consider it necessary for universities to invest sufficiently not only in technical equipment and in training teachers in the use of available technologies, but also in strengthening the pedagogical and psychological competences of all teachers.

Armed Forces and Police of Independent Rhodesia (1965-1979). Part 1: Police

This research is devoted to the study of the functioning of the Rhodesian Security Forces (the general name for the police and army forces of Rhodesia) during the years of its de facto independence from 1965 to 1979. The relevance of the study is due to the absence in domestic historiography of any fundamental research that would be devoted to this issue. The subject of the study is the Rhodesian Security Forces. In this (first) part of the work are considered the activities of the Rhodesian police after its declaration of independence. The author has studied the history of the development of the Rhodesian police from its founding until the official cessation of activity in 1980. Also, the author presents data on the number, racial composition, technical equipment, structure of units and other information about the police forces of Rhodesia. After the declaration of independence, the Rhodesian police faced difficulties, but even in such conditions they managed to maintain combat effectiveness and continue to improve. Based on this article, conclusions can be drawn about the important role played by the Rhodesian police in maintaining law and order in a country that was actually involved in the counter-terrorism struggle throughout its existence. Also, we can conclude that the Rhodesian police were only partly a “racist” structure, since most of the police were of African origin, although there were certain restrictions for them.

Exhibiting samples of enemy aircraft and its equipment in Moscow (1941–1943)

The article is devoted to the exhibition of enemy aircraft samples in Moscow since 1941 (the beginning of the air raids on the capital) until 1943 (the end of the combat air raids on the capital and the creation of an Exhibition of samples of captured weapons in the Gorky Central Park). Within the framework of the study, a part of the museum and exhibition events in the USSR (almost all of them capital) of wartime was considered, at which trophies, damaged samples of enemy aircraft, their technical equipment, aviation weapons and ammunition(including high-explosive and incendiary bombs), including aviation ones, were presented. It was found that the first expositions showing samples of enemy aircraft were opened in the summer of 1941 (during the first air raids on Moscow). Over time, there have been more such artifacts that have become the object of display. These trophies performed various functions: educational (in the case of air defense of the capital), propaganda (due to the display, the idea was conveyed that such a formidable and strong enemy could be defeated). However, already during the war years, they began to be treated as objects of museum and exhibition display and artifacts of their time, which allowed them to be preserved in the future and reveal a number of topics related to the Great Patriotic War in the museum and exhibition space: from the topic of equipping enemy aircraft to the topic of fighting in the air during the Great Patriotic War. This was done by different methods. After the war, some of these trophies were melted down, but some got into museum collections.

Full Endoscopic Transcranial Resection of Meningiomas.

Tumors of the skull base can be accessed through different routes. Recent advantages in minimally invasive techniques have shown that very different routes can be applied for optimal tumor resection depending on the technical equipment, the surgeon's preference, and the individual anatomy of the pathology. Here, the authors present their technique for pure endoscopic transcranial tumor resection in meningiomas. Out of the cases of the Department of Neurosurgery, Homburg Saar Germany of the last 10 years, all endoscopic procedures for meningiomas were analyzed. Particular attention was given to evaluating the peculiarities of those meningiomas that were treated purely endoscopically. While the endoscope was used in a large number of skull base meningiomas in endonasal approaches or for endoscopic inspection in transcranial skull base surgery, only a small number of meningiomas was selected for a purely endoscopically performed resection. The characteristics of these cases were rather a small lesion, straight access, and a keyhole position of the craniotomy. A complete resection of the tumor was achieved in all cases. Conversion to the microscope was not necessary in any case. There were no technical issues or complications associated with a fully endoscopic resection. The endoscope is a valuable tool for visualization in meningioma surgery. In most cases, it is applied for an endonasal route or for endoscopic inspection in transcranial microsurgical cases. However, small to medium-sized meningiomas that can be accessed through the keyhole approach are good candidates for pure endoscopic resection. Because of the very high magnification and the minimally invasive nature of this approach, it should be considered more frequently in suitable lesions.

ОЦЕНКА ПОТЕНЦИАЛЬНОСТИ БАНКРОТСТВА И РАЗРАБОТКА КОМПЛЕКСНЫХ МЕРОПРИЯТИЙ ПО ПОВЫШЕНИЮ ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ УСТОЙЧИВОСТИ КОММЕРЧЕСКОЙ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ

At the present stage of economic development, one of the most important areas of financial analysis is to assess the potential for bankruptcy. It is based on a comprehensive analysis of the financial condition of the organization, special attention is paid, first of all, to the assessment of solvency, financial stability, business activity and profitability. At the final stage of assessing the potential of an organization’s bankruptcy, anti-crisis strategies should be developed, which come in different directions: production, marketing, etc. At the same time, special attention should be paid to cost reduction issues, that is, production strategy. The purpose of this work is to develop an industrial anti-crisis strategy based on the assessment of the potential bankruptcy of organizations engaged in the provision of services in the field of electricity and energy supply. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set and implemented: the theoretical foundations of diagnosing the potential bankruptcy of an organization and developed anti-crisis strategies were studied; an assessment of the potential of bankruptcy based on a multi-criteria approach to its diagnosis was carried out (indicators characterizing liquidity, financial stability, business activity and profitability of the studied organizations were evaluated); a comprehensive analysis of the financial condition was carried out and an assessment of the potential of bankruptcy was given according to the methods of William Henry Beaver and Edward Altman; an anti-crisis production strategy was developed to improve the financial condition of the organization and prevent bankruptcy. The object of the study is an organization engaged in the transmission of electricity and technical equipment, located on the territory of the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea.

Innovative design of the regional transport system: Intellectualization and energy efficiency

The paper studies domestic and world trends of innovative development of transport system, the supporting structure of which is indicative planning, implemented by the Russian state, which, anticipating the future, stimulates the process of development of intelligent transport system (ITS), and integration of its elements at all levels of the organized business and management environment. The Russian Federation has a strong transit potential, due to which it acts as a fundamental transport and logistics center of attraction for the countries of the Eurasian continent which occupies forty percent of the land area and has a population of about five and a half billion people. The development of intelligent transport system of Russia, based on innovative technologies of transport processes and technologies of digital economy, play an important role in increasing the competitiveness of the transport complex of the country as a whole, the domestic economy has a significant impact on the expansion and deepening of mutually beneficial economic cooperation with the countries of the world. Moscow and Tatarstan have created the most complete set of modern institutions, tools and mechanisms for providing services, technical equipment and solving emerging problems of ITS. On the territory of Kaluga region an automotive cluster with three technology parks is actively developing. In addition, the following clusters are being improved: IT, composite, scientific and educational, nuclear, and tourism clusters. However, the priority of development is given to the transport and logistics cluster of the region, in which such directions of activity dominate as the improvement of railways and highways, as well as the road network as a whole, based on the development and implementation in the region of intelligent transport and telecommunication systems. The research presents basic, conceptual provisions of the perspective projection of the development of the international intelligent transport system in Russia on the example of Kaluga region.

Тюремные инспекторы Западной Сибири и организация пенитенциарного ведомства в конце XIX – начале XX в.

The purpose of the article consists in studying of a position of provincial prison inspector in the regional administrative apparatus and in researching of local prison inspection’s activity. Using microhistorical approach, structural-functional method and methods of retrospective and discourse analysis, the authors made an attempt to analyze the stages of the creation of the prison institution in Western Siberia and the scenarios of its transformation. The historical sources involved in the research including periodicals, sources of personal origin, documents of governmental agencies, archive materials and works of historians and publicists allow us to provide an overall pattern of provincial prison inspections’ functioning. A logical consequence of the creation of a central prison institute was the gradual formation of provincial prison departments. Due to a number of favorable factors, the prison inspection bodies (as part of the provincial governments) were formed in 1892 in the Tomsk Governorate. In other regions of Siberia, including the Tobolsk Governorate, these regulations became effective only in 1895. The prison departments were headed by provincial prison inspectors, who held a much higher position than another heads of departments. In this regard, they were almost on the same level as the vice-governor. The authors conclude that the inspection of prisons was sufficiently extensive, ranging from inspection of penitentiaries, detention houses and transit points, control of their sanitary conditions and technical equipment, to the staffing of prison schools, churches and libraries. The West Siberian prison inspections played an important role in the production and organization of convict labor, which served as an integral part of the penitentiary process of criminal forces. The philanthropic feelings were also not alien to prison officials – a lot of work was invested by the inspectors in the development of trusteeship and charitable institutions, maintaining corporate identity within the prison department, expanding official relations at the all-Russian and international level. These prison officers played a significant role in the systematization of penitentiary regulations. Despite the fact that the thesis of the need for the existence of the prison inspections was questioned in official circles, it still survived the onslaught of criticism, proving the expediency and effectiveness of its activities, developed its own scenarios for functioning during the period of revolutionary unrest and social transformations.

The use of information technology in teaching a foreign language for specialists of agroindustrial complex

In modern society, the agro-industrial complex plays an important role in the economy of any country. That is why the education and training of specialists in the agro-industrial complex is a priority for the country. The use of foreign materials, technical equipment, and business contacts within the framework of concluding agreements with friendly countries require knowledge of foreign languages. The lack of knowledge of foreign languages is a hindering factor in the development of the agroindustrial sector. Modern technologies provide a huge range of opportunities to improve the level of knowledge of foreign languages. New technologies are becoming part of the educational process. The use of mobile devices in foreign language lessons is an urgent trend in the methodology, which requires new approaches and non–standard solutions. In this regard, there is a need to develop a methodology for using mobile technologies in English language teaching. The article describes the features of the introduction of mobile applications in the organization of students' work in teaching foreign languages. Electronic devices are increasingly being used as tools for education and language learning. As for interactive learning applications, students can use them to improve and control their skills in learning a foreign language. The features of mobile applications and their impact on the educational process are also revealed. Mobile applications are considered as a way of teaching vocabulary and grammar of the English language; the possibilities of practical use of mobile devices are analyzed. The purpose of this study is to review and describe English language learning using mobile applications. The article also deals with advantages and disadvantages while using apps in learning a foreign language, the essence and features of mobile applications in the educational process are considered.

РАЗРАБОТКА КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНОЙ ОСНОВЫ ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОГО ЗДАНИЯ НА ОСНОВЕ МЕТОДА ТРИАДИЧЕСКОЙ ДЕШИФРОВКИ: ЭВОЛЮЦИОННЫЙ ПОДХОД

The study focuses on the concept development of the architectural and structural design of intelligent (smart) buildings, which have been of increasing research interest in recent years. The hypothesis of the study was the assumption that smart building was an evolution of green building. Evolutionary approach, single-level and two-level triadic decoding of system-categorial methodology, general scientific and graphic methods helped us to solve the following tasks: 1) to identify the components of the "intellectual building" definition content and reflecting its essential features; 2) to structure the main components (engineering and technical equipment, personification of space, environmental friendliness and resource saving) in the sequence of their formation in the object. The definition and structuring of the main components of an intelligent building by the method of triadic decoding allowed us to expand the idea of its essence, gave a better insight into the conceptual foundations of architectural and construction design of intelligent buildings and outlined the preconditions for its further development.

Competencies as determinants of remuneration

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine how the competencies expected by employers affect the possibility of achieving a wage equal to or above the average wage in the economy. Design/methodology/approach: Achieving the stated goal required a several-step approach. The first step was an analysis of the literature in terms of employers' expectations in the labor market and individual determinants of the salary received. Subsequently, the focus was on obtaining and checking the data (they came from the Human Capital Study -HCS). After this stage, an econometric model was estimated, which, after verifying its correctness, became the basis for analyzing the impact of individual competencies on the proposed salary. Findings: Based on the results of the logit model, it can be concluded that among the competencies that have a positive impact on wages should be distinguished, among others: the ability to operate a computer and specialized computer programs, the ability to assemble and repair machinery and technical equipment, the ability to perform advanced mathematical calculations, cooperation with people of other nationalities, willingness to travel frequently, and willingness to work unusual hours. Research limitations/implications: The main limitation of the survey was data gaps. Some employers were unwilling to state the amount they would offer for the indicated position. Practical implications: Employers have the opportunity to compare what aspects of employee competence, businesses pay attention to, and how they value them. Based on this data, the approach of a particular organization can be verified and adjusted to market conditions. Social implications: Based on the analysis, it is possible to see which competencies are particularly valued by employers. By developing them, employees can increase the likelihood of receiving a higher salary. Consequently, this will contribute to improving their living conditions. These results can also influence job seekers, who, by developing the indicated competencies, can adapt to the requirements of the labor market and thus shorten the job search period. Originality/value: The added value of the article is to show the expectations of employers and their direct impact on the chance of obtaining a high salary. Keywords: competencies, wages, logit model. Category of the paper: Research paper.
