An Approach to Lagrange’s Theorem in Pythagorean Fuzzy Subgroups

The Pythagorean fuzzy environment is a modern way of depicting uncertainty. The concept of Pythagorean fuzzy semi-level subgroups of any group is described in this paper. The Pythagorean fuzzy order of an element in a Pythagorean fuzzy subgroup is introduced and established various algebraic attributes. The relation between the Pythagorean fuzzy order of an element of a group and the order of that group is established. The Pythagorean fuzzy normalizer and Pythagorean fuzzy centralizer of Pythagorean fuzzy subgroups are discussed. Further, the concept of Pythagorean fuzzy quotient group and the index of a Pythagorean fuzzy subgroup are defined. Finally, a framework is developed for proving Lagrange’s theorem in Pythagorean fuzzy subgroups.

Digitization of African Verbal arts

The twenty-first century is characterized by steady advancement in technology, ever increasing need for migration and evolution from the rural and archaic mode of operation to a more digitalized and urban modes. These evolutions in technology, migration and jettisoning of the old ways to embrace the modern ways have led to cultural displacement, loss of the authentic rustic flavours, and alteration of identity. In as much as technological advancement and, perhaps migrations, have led to the loss of the above stated, technology, specially, has aided the recovering, preservation and dissemination of the said African oral traditions to a wider audience and those who, ordinarily, might not have had access to them. Consequently, scholars of African oral traditions have embraced this development in technology and produced works where the cultural and linguistic interactions of the indigenous people are exhibited, thereby promoting intercultural relationships and preserving cultures. This study aims to examine the impact of digitization on African oral traditions, investigation how technological advancements simultaneously displace and preserve cultural heritage. The hybridity approach in use in this study finds out that digital platforms blend traditional and modern forms, creating new elements and challenging essentialized notions of African culture. The study concludes that digitization, while preserving the cultural heritage also threatens it. It was recommended that there should be a critical evaluation of technological impacts on cultural identity and authenticity as well as a community-driven digitization initiatives to ensure cultural ownership and authenticity.

Qur’anic Orality and Textual Epistemologies of the Humanities

This article argues that the Qur’an presents an epistemology that can recenter the categories underlying modern understandings of religion and knowledge. This is done through an examination of the role of orality, textuality, writing, and listening in relation to the Qur’an. The article consists of two parts: first, a synthesis and intervention of the research on the construction of the modern category of religion is brought together with a discussion of modern ways of knowing and sensing. Second, I argue that further attention to orality, sound, and listening in relation to the Qur’an further confounds the assumed neutrality of the categories of knowledge and subjectivity associated with the modern category of religion. The argument reveals the implied assumptions of the categories of orality and textuality that undergird the modern category of religion, to which the Qur’an presents an epistemology wherein orality and textuality are intertwined and overlapping categories and ways of knowing and experiencing, not separable categories as is often assumed.

Reviewing Advances in Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment: From Disease-modifying Antirheumatic Drugs to Innovative Drug Delivery Systems

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammatory processes that result in joint swelling, inflammation, and the onset of pain. This discomfort and pathological condition exhibit a gradual rise in scale and become more intense. Even though pharmacotherapy like disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologics has improved, there is still a need for more focused treatments that cause less harm. This study examines how treatments for RA have changed over time, focusing on the shift from traditional medicines to new, creative ways to combine medicine with immune-engineering therapies. DMARDs are still the most common way to treat RA. On the other hand, biologics and Janus kinase inhibitors are options for people who do not react to their first medications. The development of nanomedicines and hydrogels is an exciting new area of study because they make it possible for more precise spread and less overall toxicity of the medicine. The early research suggests that these innovative approaches could greatly improve the effectiveness of therapy by delivering drugs directly to the site of inflammation while also reducing the severity of any side effects that might occur. RA care is quickly expanding beyond the traditional use of drugs to include more modern ways of managing medications and also personalized healing methods.

ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ СИСТЕМ МИТНОЇ ЛОГІСТИКИ В СУЧАСНИХ УМОВАХ

One of the modern ways to efficiently organise the activities of various sectors of the economy is to apply a logistics approach. To ensure its economic security, each country develops customs regulations, which also actively use the logistics approach. In this case, its peculiarity is the need to optimise export-import processes at a minimum cost. The article substantiates the relevance of the logistics approach for analysing the efficiency of the customs logistics sector, since there are relatively few scientific studies of this issue. The author defines the essence of the logistics function of customs activity, analyses the complex and structure of customs logistics as a specific area of interaction between participants in foreign economic activity, and formulates a list of its main tasks. The article identifies functional elements of customs and logistics activities, in which the efficiency of the main processes can be objectively increased by optimising costs and maximising customer satisfaction. The article presents a set of criteria for evaluating customs logistics systems in terms of cost and time, productivity and quality of services. The author analyses in detail the specifics and prerequisites for the formation of certain cost items in the operation of logistics systems, the minimisation of which in logistics is traditionally the basis for ensuring the efficiency of any participant in international trade and customs and logistics structures. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the methodology for assessing the quality of customs and logistics services, for which the main types, criteria and quality indicators of various types of services provided to customers when their goods cross the customs border are identified. The reasons for a significant decrease in the efficiency of the processes of promoting cross-border customs and logistics flows that arose with the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine are indicated. Since intermediary structures play an important role in customs logistics, the author describes the basic principles of their functioning in accordance with the provisions of Ukrainian legislation and suggests the use of four groups of key performance indicators for customs brokers and customs clearance agents. The article also identifies a set of possible negative consequences for both intermediaries and their clients in case of non-compliance with the requirements for the efficient organisation of customs and logistics processes.

In the modern conditions of the development of innovative entrepreneurship in Ukraine, there is an important need to use the latest methods of attracting capital. Because of the successful foreign experience, one of the most common methods is crowdfunding and crowdlending. The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of crowdfunding and crowdlending as modern ways of financing business, analyze the activities of domestic crowdfunding platforms in Ukraine and identify factors that inhibit the development of crowdfunding and crowdlending in Ukraine. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of many scientists, the article investigated the essence of using crowdfunding and crowdlending as alternative sources of financing business ideas, startups, and projects in Ukraine in the conditions of innovative development of modern technologies. As a result of the study, the main advantages and disadvantages of using these two methods of financing are summarized. The main participants of these financial instruments are defined, the model of the organization of crowdfunding as a method of financing is highlighted, and the role of online platforms, through which funds are raised to finance the projects presented on them, is clarified. The dynamics of the average financing of crowdfunding campaigns on the market of Ukraine and the number of successfully closed crowdfunding campaigns during 2017–2023 were analyzed. The functioning of domestic crowdfunding platforms has been investigated and substantiated. Presented are modern crowdfunding platforms such as «Big Idea», «GoF», «My City» and «RazomGO», which help in financing many projects throughout Ukraine. The «Big Idea» platform is known as one of the leading Ukrainian leaders in the field of crowdfunding, so an analysis of the number of successfully implemented projects on the «Big Idea» platform was carried out. The reasons hindering the progress of modern financing methods in Ukraine have been identified and analyzed, and recommendations for its further development in our country have been proposed. The implementation of the above innovative forms of financing in Ukraine requires the creation of favorable legal regulations, raising public awareness and ensuring the development of reliable specialized platforms.

Депонирование как способ фиксации создания объектов авторских и смежных прав в сети «Интернет»

In the modern world the problem of protecting copyright and related rights on the Internet is caused by the rapid development of digital technologies and the imperfection of legislative regulation on the protection of these rights. The most common violations of intellectual property rights on the Internet are plagiarism and piracy. Such violations are related to the difficulty of their identification by the copyright holder, as well as the difficulty of proving the ownership of copyright and related rights to the results of intellectual activity to a specific person. In the article, the author considers depositing as a modern and relevant way of recording the creation of the results of intellectual activity distributed on the Internet. Currently, many services (special platforms) on the Internet allow depositing objects of copyright and related rights. Most of these services use blockchain technologies, which are distributed registry technologies. In practice, the use of such technologies causes certain difficulties, since there is no legal regulation of these technologies at the legislative level. Records in the blockchain certify the existence of the owner's rights to digital assets. Such records are called tokens and contain information about the copyright holders for the results of intellectual activity. At the legislative level, the deposit of the results of intellectual activity is not mandatory and is not regulated by law. In addition, the deposit does not confirm the authorship of a particular person for an object of copyright or related rights. In order to fix the creation of the results of intellectual activity in the digital environment and protect copyright and related rights, confirm authorship of such results, the author proposes to create a publicly available All-Russian register of intellectual rights as an unified register of intellectual activity results, the maintenance of which can be attributed to the competence of Rospatent.

Advanced Prospects for Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: An Updated Comprehensive Review

Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is negatively affecting the health of people and their quality of life. This breathing disorder has a multifactorial etiology. However, orofacial factors in OSA patients have been reported to be relatively more significant factors for its etiopathogenesis and its progression. Polysomnography has been a conventional diagnostic modality for OSA. However, in recent years, various novel and modern detection and diagnostic options have been reported in the current literature. Adenotonsillectomy, positive airway pressure therapy, oral appliances (e.g. mandibular advancement device), and pharmacological drugs (intranasal corticosteroids, etc.) have been known as some of the common treatment modalities for OSA. However, recently several modern therapeutic ways for OSA have been reported in the current literature. The aim of this review article is to comprehensively appraise and highlight the current and recent literature about several aspects of OSA, particularly its modern and novel detection methods and therapeutic options.

Adaptive exchange protocol for multi-agent communication in augmented reality system

Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the modern ways of providing users with different types of information. In applications based on this technology, the main influence on the subjective assessment of product quality is the speed of interaction between the system and the user and between users of the system. The main purpose of the work series are creation and modification for algorithms to assessing and improving the quality of AR services. This paper describes and justifies an adaptive communication protocol for multi-agent interaction. We consider a general nonlinear dynamic system with introducing feedback control which is based on measurements under almost arbitrary noise. In practice, this control is realized as a superposition of neural networks with the estimation of the result of mutual additional learning based on the system identification method (M.K.Campi and E.Weyer’s LSCR is used). The prototype is built for a system with a distributed server architecture and multiagent behavior of both clients and servers in the system.

A Comparative Study of BSE Listed Sectoral Indices of Real Estate and Banking Industry

Purpose: Shareholders are the real owners of the company. They provide capital to the business to get a better return on their investment. Maximizing shareholder wealth has become the primary goal of today's business world. No business entity can become profitable without producing a lot for various investors. There are some strategies to determine the organization productivity and valuation of investors. A cutting-edge form of top management, economic value added (EVA) is a way of valuing shareholder wealth. This helps ensure the true productivity of the organization at the expense of value and capital. The concept was first created by Stern Stewart and Co. The company proposed 164 changes in GAAP rules to calculate real economic profit and some changes in economic capital. MVA is another modern way of valuing shareholder wealth. It describes how efficiently a company uses shareholders' assets. The study made two corrections to the calculation of economic benefit and two corrections to the related population. Real estate and banking companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange were selected for the study. The purpose of the audit was to determine the value of investors in BSE-listed land and bank units based on EVA and MVA over a period of five years. Speculations were tested using ANOVA and T-TEST. The audit revealed that an organization like Legend Engine Corp expanded its EVA and MVA during this period. Design/Methodology/Approach: Five BSE listed industries are considered for the present research work and analysed by using EVA and MVA. Findings/Result: A profitable sector is identified. Opportunity is provided for the investors to buy, sell, or hold the stock to generate more profits in the selected sector. It has been observed that SBI has a high typical EVA unlike various banks but it has decreased in the long run. All financial organizations have a positive relationship between EVA and MVA. Originality/Value: Among the organizations in the selected countries, Godrej Properties, and DLF are positively associated with MVA and investment wealth creation every 5 years. Choosing stocks from an industry is a big problem for investors because the market is unpredictable and offers more opportunities for traders and investors to buy sell or hold stocks and earn potential profits in the market. This study aims to compare EVA and MVA to provide some recommendations for stock and industry selection to all investors. Paper Type: Comparative research

기층신앙으로서 부적의 문화콘텐츠 활용방안 연구

The content of this paper is a study on the amulets on which our basic faiths are based. Amulets have a preconceived notion of superstition. The amulet, however, is a symbolic image shaped to fulfill man's earnest desire. Amulets have been used for self-defense since prehistoric times to escape religious values, fear and anxiety around humans. Not only old people used amulets. Today, amulets are in our lives. It is used for the psychological stability that prevents and blessed many people in many parts of society. This is why we should not overlook the amulets or dismiss them only as superstitions, but inevitably study them.
 Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to correct some of the inconvenient truths or misunderstandings about the truth about amulets. And by properly understanding the amulets created from basic faiths, I found a way to utilize amulets as part of folk culture in a modern way. In addition, I wanted deal with a possibility of developing this into modern cultural content.
