    The paper discusses the characteristic barriers for the development of a detailed map of the Program for the Development of Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) Technologies. The team of authors took part in the development of an alternative version of such a roadmap, since the main executor was another consortium of experts. An alternative point of view is always useful, in particular also because so far, the specified roadmap has not gone beyond the stage of discussion, it is theoretically possible to make amendments and additions to it. At the same time, even in case of its approval, a five-year term has been released for its implementation. During this period of time, possible adjustments to plans, opening of unrecorded technological barriers with which to fight. Therefore, this paper may be useful for those who are planning the development of these technologies, and for those who will work on these plans. The article contains the results of an in-depth analysis of the situation and forecasts on this basis, made during the expert consultation process of the main developers of the roadmap (some of the authors were among the authors of the final roadmap to be submitted for approval by the Government of the Russian Federation)

    The paper considers use of parallel processing on multi-core central processing unit for optimization of the coherence function evaluation arising in digital signal processing. Coherence function along with other methods of spectral analysis is commonly used for vibration diagnosis of rotating machinery and its particular nodes. An algorithm is given for the function evaluation for signals represented with digital samples. The algorithm is analyzed for its software implementation and computational problems. Optimization measures are described, including algorithmic, architecture and compiler optimization, their results are assessed for multi-core processors from different manufacturers. Thus, speeding-up of the parallel execution with respect to sequential execution was studied and results are presented for Intel Core i7-4720HQ и AMD FX-9590 processors. The results show comparatively high efficiency of the optimization measures taken. In particular, acceleration indicators and average CPU utilization have been significantly improved, showing high degree of parallelism of the constructed calculating functions. The developed software underwent state registration and will be used as a part of a software and hardware solution for rotating machinery fault diagnosis and pipeline leak location with acoustic correlation method

    The coordinate basis for the implementation of land management works is the State Geodetic Reference System of the USC-2000 coordinates. However, as practice of land management shows, public information from the State Land Cadastre is reflected in the coordinate system of 1963 (SC-63). In this case, in most cases, the recalculation of areas between the above-mentioned coordinate systems leads to a change in the area of land . Therefore, it is important to highlight some issues regarding the use of the USC-2000 coordinate system with the current land laws that may arise when used in conjunction with the SC63, namely the possible excess of the rules for free remittance. land plots to citizens in the transition to a single state coordinate system. To investigate such distortions, the authors designed three model land plots in the coordinate system SC-63 in the maximum allowable area in accordance with the norms of free transfer for the maintenance of personal from the eagle economy (2,0000 ha) for the construction and maintenance of a residential building, commercial buildings and structures (private plot) in villages (0,2500 hectares) and for gardening respectively (0,1200 hectares).Subsequently, using the standard features of the licensed Digitals software , the coordinates of each plot of land from the SC-63 system in the USC-2000 were recalculated within the three selected administrative units . For the purpose of visual representation, the coordinates of the first point of the listed land plots in USC-2000 were given the coordinates of the first point of land in the system SC-63 . Changes or distortions in squares, lines or angles are obvious when moving from one coordinate system to another if they are based on ellipsoid referents with different parameters. However, it should be noted that the compliance of the USC-2000 with the land legislation, and in particular the excess of the area of established norms for the free transfer of land plots to citizens in modern conditions in the transition to a legally established single frame of reference USC-2000, requires further consideration and resolution, for example, by clarification legislation

    Get PDF
    The paper presents the results of the study of applicability of time-frequency correlation functions to solving the problems of internal combustion engine fault diagnostics. The proposed methods are theoretically justified and experimentally tested. In particular, the method's applicability is illustrated by the example of specially generated signals that simulate the vibration of an engine both during the normal operation and in the case of a malfunction in the system supplying fuel to the cylinders. This method was confirmed during an experiment with an automobile internal combustion engine. The study offers the main findings of the simulation and the experiment and highlights certain characteristic features of time-frequency autocorrelation functions that allow one to identify malfunctions in an engine's cylinder. The possibility in principle of using time-frequency correlation functions in function testing of the internal combustion engine is demonstrated. The paper's conclusion proposes further research directions including the application of the method to diagnosing automobile gearboxes

    This literature review aims to evaluate the evidence in the extant literature of practical and evidence-based psychotherapy methods for overcoming personality disorders and to compare them with one another. For a systematic review, we used the following databases: ScienceDirect, ResearchGate, Cochrane, PsyNet, CrossRef, PubMed. As a result, 33 articles were selected. Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-based Therapy (MBT) and Schema-focused Therapy (SFT) have better evidence-based efficacy in the context of therapeutic effects on reducing the severity of diagnostic criteria and comorbid states. In the context of application in an outpatient setting the highest positive effect and compliances are demonstrated by DBT and SFT. The majority of trials of DBT and TFP showed the effectiveness of psychotherapy with a treatment duration of at least 12 months. The longest term without recurrence of comorbid states and drop out (36 months) was observed with the use of Transfer-focused Psychotherapy (TFP) and SFT, which in the context of the long-term therapeutic effect may give people benefits along with other therapies. The present review shows initial evidence that long-term psychotherapy can be a useful and evidence-based intervention for people with borderline personality disorder. These results provide promising evidence to support people who suffer from a personality disorder. DBT, MBT, and SFT can be proposed as methods of the first line as a nonpharmacological intervention

    CLASSIFICATION OF MODERN LAND MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THE LAND REFORM

    Get PDF
    Discussions on fundamental concepts in land management have been and are ongoing throughout the land reform process. In such circumstances, domestic scientists have made considerable efforts to solve the problems of land management and land reform, beginning, first of all, with the systematization or classification of problems arising in the process of land reform or land management. The problems of interpretation of the concept of land management in Ukraine are investigated; this investigation is based on the legislative support of land management, on the ways of implementation of the land reform and its results, and on the researches by domestic scientists. The analysis of problems, arisen as a result of the implementation and incompleteness of the land reform and which typically occur during implementation of the land management at the present stage and in previous years, has been made on the basis of a chronological analysis of scientific research. A scheme of classification of the problems of land development is proposed; this scheme includes problems of the land management and problems of the land reform. The conformity analysis concerning land management at different levels and its corresponding purposes has been made; these purposes are currently fixed by the regulatory legal acts. The result of the conducted research and the classification of the problems of land development will further be reflected in the deepening of the research on the specific problems of land management and in the application of a systematic approach to their solution

    Психологічна підтримка осіб з ознаками соціально тривожного розладу, який асоціюється з травматичним досвідом

    Background. Considering the high prevalence of social anxiety disorder and its impact on quality of life and occupational functioning, research aimed at effective and accessible interventions can help reduce the burden of this disorder and improve patient well-being. Understanding traumatic experiences' influence on social anxiety development is critical for developing effective interventions. Studies exploring the link between traumatic experiences and the severity of anxiety disorders can shed light on this mechanism and provide more effective support to those who have experienced trauma. One of the challenges in treating social anxiety disorder is the low readiness of individuals to seek professional help. Low-intensity interventions may become more accessible and acceptable to patients, increasing their awareness of mental health issues and motivation for self-help or seeking specialized assistance. Previous research has shown the effectiveness of specific intervention methods for social phobias, but further studies are needed to test the stability of these results over time. Considering the above, research can help improve the understanding and psychological support for individuals with social anxiety disorder and develop more accessible and effective preventive measures for patients with a history of traumatic experiences. Objective. To study the effectiveness of a low-intensity cognitive-behavioral therapy psychosocial support program for individuals with social anxiety disorder associated with a history of traumatic experiences. Materials and Methods. The study group consisted of 179 individuals who reported significant emotional and psychological discomfort due to avoiding social situations and exhibited symptoms typical of social anxiety disorder for over six months in the past. At the initial stage, 109 individuals without signs of social phobia but with limitations in social interaction, including issues with adaptation and traumatic experiences in the past, were included as a control group. The mental state was assessed using The MINI: International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Psychopathological symptoms were analyzed using self-report questionnaires and the IAPT complex scales, while the quality of life was assessed using the self-report Q-LES-Q-SF questionnaire. In the second stage of the program evaluation, data analysis was conducted solely within the leading group, excluding the control groups, based on their classification according to associated traumatic experiences. Results. In the study, for the subgroup of individuals who participated in combat, experienced immediate life-threatening situations, or witnessed such events, it was found that traumatic experiences and distress related to social avoidance accounted for 56% of the variance in overall and work-related functioning after the program and throughout one month. Depressive symptoms ceased to be statistically significant predictors after participating in the program. The reduction in the impact of traumatic experiences and anxiety-related avoidance accounted for 27% of the variance in social interaction limitations and overall distress. In the subgroup of individuals who experienced loss and were influenced by social events they considered traumatic, no initial reduction in distress related to social avoidance was observed after the interventions. However, further reduction in distress in daily life and work was associated with reduced social phobia symptoms and increased awareness and acceptance of their emotional experiences. Depressive symptoms and the impact of traumatic experiences ceased to be predictive factors for overall distress. The research confirms the importance of understanding the influence of traumatic experiences and social avoidance on the development and manifestation of comorbid conditions in social phobia during the planning and implementation of psychosocial support. Furthermore, it is considered essential to consider that the role of traumatic experiences may be mediated by the circumstances of the study's time frame. Additional research will help better understand the relationships between traumatic experiences and vulnerability to comorbid psychopathology during adaptation to emergency circumstances and develop more effective psychosocial interventions for individuals with social phobia.Актуальність. Зважаючи на високу поширеність соціального тривожного розладу і його вплив на якість життя та робочу діяльність, дослідження, спрямовані на виявлення ефективних та доступних інтервенцій, можуть допомогти зменшити тягар цього розладу і покращити добробут пацієнтів. Врахування впливу травматичного досвіду на розвиток соціальної тривоги є критичним для розробки ефективних інтервенцій. Дослідження, що аналізують зв'язок між травматичним досвідом і тяжкістю проявів тривожних розладів, можуть допомогти зрозуміти цей механізм і забезпечити більш ефективну підтримку тим, хто стикався з травмою. Одним з викликів у лікуванні соціального тривожного розладу є низька готовність людей звертатися за професійною допомогою. Інтервенції низької інтенсивності можуть стати більш доступними та прийнятними для пацієнтів, сприяючи їхньому усвідомленню психічних проблем та збільшенню мотивації до самодопомоги або звернення за спеціалізованою допомогою. Попередні дослідження засвідчують ефективність деяких методів інтервенцій при соціальних фобіях, але важливо здійснити подальші дослідження з метою перевірки стійкості результатів у часі. Враховуючи вищезазначене дослідження може допомогти покращити розуміння та психологічний супровід осіб з соціальним тривожним розладом, а також розробити більш доступні та ефективні методи превентивних заходів для пацієнтів, що мають досвід травматичних подій. Мета. Дослідити результативність програми психосоціальної підтримки базованої на когнітивно-поведінковій терапії низької інтенсивності для осіб з ознаками соціально тривожного розладу, який асоціюється з травматичним досвідом у анамнезі. Матеріали та методи. Досліджувана група складалася з 179 осіб, які відзначали суттєвий емоційний та психологічний дискомфорт через уникнення соціальних ситуацій та проявляли симптоми, що характерні для соціального тривожного розладу протягом понад 6 місяців у минулому. На першому етапі 109 осіб без ознак соціальної фобії, але з обмеженями у соціальній взаємодії, включаючи проблеми адаптації та через травматичний досвід у минулому були включені як контрольна група. При початковому відборі вивчався психічний стан за допомогою діагностичного інтерв'ю The MINI: International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Для аналізу патопсихологічної симптоматики використовувались самозаповнювальні опитувальники та шкали комплексу IAPT, а також проводилась оцінка якості життя за допомогою самозаповнювальника Q-LES-Q-SF. На другому етапі оцінки  результативності програми, аналіз даних проводився лише в межах основної групи без контрольних груп з огляду на поділ на підгрупи в залежності від асоційованого травматичного досвіду.  Результати. В дослідженні для підгрупи осіб, які брали участь у бойових діях, пережили безпосередню загрозу смерті або були свідками таких ситуацій було встановлено, що досвід травматичних подій і дистрес через уникнення соціальної взаємодії пояснюють 56% змін в загальній та робочій активності після проходження програми та протягом 1 місяця. Депресивна симптоматика перестала бути статистично значущим предиктором після участі у програмі. Зменшення показників впливу травматичних подій та уникнення через тривогу пояснюють 27% змін у обмеженні соціальної взаємодії та загального дистресу. У підгрупі осіб, які проживали досвід втрати та були під впливом соціальних подій, які вони вважали травматичними, після впровадження інтервенцій, спочатку не спостерігалося зниження рівня дистресу, пов'язаного з уникненням соціальної взаємодії. Проте подальше зниження дистресу в повсякденній та робочій діяльності було пов'язане з редукцією ознак соціальної фобії та збільшенням усвідомленості та прийняття власних емоційних переживань. Депресивна симптоматика та вплив травматичного досвіду перестали бути прогностичними факторами загального дистресу. Дослідження підтверджує важливість розуміння впливу травматичного досвіду та соціального уникнення на розвиток та прояви коморбідних станів при соціальної фобії під час планування та впровадження психосоціальної підтримки. У подальшому, вважаємо за доцільне враховувати, що роль травматичного досвіду може бути опосередкована обставинами часу в яких проводилося дослідження. Додаткові дослідження допоможуть краще зрозуміти залежності травматичним досвідом та вразливістю до коморбідно психопатології у періоди адаптації до надзвичайних обставин і розробити більш ефективні психосоціальні інтервенції для осіб з соціальною фобією

    Get PDF
    The paper describes the simplest implementation of a software and hardware package for acoustic correlation leak location and results of its performance assessment for location of water leaks from a metallic pipe in laboratory conditions. A distinctive feature of this leak locator is the use of the software based on the time-frequency correlation analysis of signals, which was proposed in our previous papers. Comparative analysis results are given for the information content of classical and time-frequency cross-correlation functions as obtained during processing of experimental data. The results obtained justify comparatively higher efficiency of a time-frequency cross correlation method to solve the leak location task. Improved efficiency is determined by bandpass filtration embedded into the time-frequency cross-correlation function calculation

    SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDUSTRY STANDARD OF THE LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECTS FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF THE TERRITORY OF THE SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS, THE LANDS OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED FOR AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

    Get PDF
    Legislation that regulated land ten years ago requires a comprehensive update and systematic approach to the development of standards, rules and restrictions.The article substantiates the need to improve the legislative support of land management. The conceptual approach to the formation of normative legal support in the field of land management is proposed, which is based on the principles of systematicity, planning and optimality. This approach is based on the standardization and unification of types of land management documentation, taking into account the particularities of land use according to their main purpose. The distribution of land categories by main purpose in accordance with the Land Cadastre of Ukraine is shown, which should be the basis for the creation and improvement of standards and rules in land use. Scientific approaches are grounded, in accordance with the improved system of legislative support of land management, to the development, composition and content of the industry standard of the project of land management regarding the organization of the territory of scientific institutions, the lands of which are allocated for agricultural research and educational activities. Such standards must establish rules and regulations for the use of land for the intended purpose and uses, and must be taken into account when developing land use documentation standards
