Methodology for developing an information site with Workflow support for publishing articles

The Workflow system is an effective solution to the task of optimizing information flow in the electronic publishing system, which can reduce the number of errors and optimize the process of publishing articles. The purpose of this article was to create a methodology for developing an information site for web publishing. To achieve the goal of the research, scientific methods of generalization, classification, deduction and analysis were used. A problem-solving tree has also been created. The ultimate goal of overcoming this problem is the development of an information site with Workflow support. The study outlines the general structure of sections and subdivisions of the information site. In the context of this article, a methodology was developed to support the process of publishing articles on an information site based on the use of a modern content management system. For this purpose, the key criteria for a basic decision-making model for choosing a content management system were proposed and a rating of free content management systems was given. As a result of the analysis of the proposed criteria, it was concluded that the Joomla tool environment should be used to support web publishing processes. The paper compares the components of the Workflow organization on the information site. An algorithm for selecting a component for organizing the Workflow has been created. In order to create a site with Workflow support for publishing articles, the stages of development were planned, a list of criteria, based on which the development should be carried out, was proposed and a structural diagram for creating such site was given. The limitations of the created methodology for the development of an information site, which may arise in the process of practical implementation and adoption of relevant management decisions, are considered. The practical result of the work is recommendations for web developers to create an information site with Workflow support for publishing article

Medieval Coins from the Bolgar Settlement based on the Works in 1970 (from the collections of the State Historical Museum)

The article deals with numismatic materials received by the State Historical Musum from Bolgar. Coins were found during archaeological works led by N.D. Aksenova in 1970 in the XXXV excavation. The total number of attributed coins is 43 copies, including 1 Samanid dirham of the XX century, 7 silver and 34 copper Juchid coins, as well as one Nizhny Novgorod copeck. All of them are kept in the State Historical Museum. The coinage of the middle of the XIII century includes 8 copper dinars, in the first quarter of the XIV century, 2 anepigraphic dirhams were issued. 25 puls belong to the period of the second and third trimester, including 4 coins with countermarks of the second half of the XIV century. Three specimens were also found in the excavation, issued at the beginning of the XV century – 2 Bolgar akcha and 1 Nizhny Novgorod copeck. At the end of the paper is a map, indicating the location of the excavation and a photo table, depicting16 coins

Automation of Formal Verification of Programs in the Pifagor Language

Nowadays, due to software sophistication, programs correctness is more often proved by means of formal verification. The method of deduction based on Hoare logic could be used for any programminglanguage and it has the capability of partial automation of the proof process. However, the method of deduction is not widely used for verification of parallel programs because of high complexity of theprocess. The usage of the functional data-flow paradigm of parallel programming allows to decrease the complexity of the proof process. In this article a proof process of correctness of functional data-flow parallel programs in the Pifagor language is considered. The proof process of a program correctness is considered as a tree where each node is a program data-flow graph, whose edges are marked with formulas in a specification language. The tree root is the initial program data-flow graph with a precondition and a postcondition, which describe restrictions on input variables and correctness conditions of the result of the program execution, respectively. Basic transformations of the data-flow graph are edge marking, equivalent transformation, splitting, folding of the program. By means of these transformations the data-flow graph is transformed and finally is reduced to a set of formulas in the specification language. If all these formulas are identically true, the program is correct. Several modules is distinguished in the system: “Program correctness prover”, “Axioms and theorems library management system” and “Errors analysis and output of information about errors”. According to this architecture, the toolkit for supporting formal verification was developed. The main functionality of the system implementation is considered

Convergência organizacional como a tendência do desenvolvimento moderno de mídia de mass

Convergence is а key problem of modern mass media development. It mediates changes in content policy, media products distribution, and economic activity of media. Organizational convergence is one of the types of this phenomenon. It acts to make structural changes both in the media market and within a certain media. The purpose of such changes is to expand the influence of the media on the media market, to reduce the cost of its maintenance and development, and to expand social audience by transmedia distributing of the content. The article is devoted to the problems of understanding the phenomenon of organizational convergence as one of the types of convergence in the modern media environment. It also studies the main ways of building new forms of media organization.La convergencia es un problema clave del desarrollo moderno de los medios de comunicación.

Досвід стратегічного управління розвитком об`єднаних територіальних громад

The article identifies the factors, which determine the need for strategic planning of local development in a context of decentralization, namely: reforms or dynamic changes that are taking place today in all spheres of socio-economic and political life in Ukraine; reorientation to new management models due to the need for clear goal-setting and development of projects and programs for achieving goals; amalgamation of communities puts forward the need to create a methodological basis for the independent decision-making on a strategic choice of ways of development, etc. The research is based on the experience of designing and implementing strategies and projects for the development of the amalgamated territorial communities of Dnipropetrovs’k Oblast in which the authors of the publication participated as expert-consultants. The role and specific features of the strategic development management process of the amalgamated territorial communities are described. The corresponding principles of management of the implementation of the strategy of development of the amalgamated territorial community (in particular, providing a meaningful relationship between the strategy and other planning documents; timeliness and prevention; personal responsibility; openness and transparency for the public; current scientific and communication support for the implementation of the strategy; etc.) as well as the role of certain processes and functions in managing the implementation of the strategy are substantiated. The paper shows the importance of the multi-level system of personal responsibility for implementation of strategic priorities - from carrying out of each project from the corresponding portfolio of projects of strategic priorities implementation to responsibility for implementation of the strategy as a whole. In order to ensure efficient management of the strategy implementation, a separate authorized body - Strategy Implementation Management Committee (SIMC) - is suggested to be formed. The functions of the SIMC in the amalgamated territorial communities, which differ in content from the functions of other authorized bodies (working group, strategic committee, etc.) traditionally created to manage the implementation of the strategy of local (regional) development are described. It is grounded the necessity of monitoring and adjusting of certain parameters of the strategy (goals, set of projects, financing, terms of implementation, executors, and expected results, etc.) in case of changes, for example, external environment, loss of relevance of certain strategic or operational goals (projects) or, conversely, new goals (projects), etc. An algorithm for making changes to the strategy summary document is described.Исходя из опыта разработки и реализации стратегий и проектов развития объединенных территориальных громад Днепропетровской области, в которых авторы публикации принимали участие в качестве экспертов-консультантов, определено факторы, которые обуславливают необходимость стратегического планирования местного развития в условиях децентрализации.

The role of a2ß1 integrin in anchorage dependent apoptosis of breast carcinoma and hepatoma cells

The role of collagen specific a2ß1 integrin in anchorage dependent apoptosis (anoikis) was investigated. Stimulation of a2ß1 signaling with immobilized anti-a2 antibody markedly sensitized human MCF-7 breast carcinoma and HepG2 hepatoma cells to anoikis. Accordingly, down-regulation of a2ß1 by a2-specific siRNA decreased the percentage of cells undergoing anoikis. These results for the first time provide direct evidence that a2ß1 receptor can transduce the signal to promote death in matrix deprived cells

EFFECTS OF ACUTE PHYSICAL EXERCISE OF VARYING INTENSITY ON LIPID METABOLISM IN MIDDLE AGED MEN

Aim. To investigate effects of acute physical exercise of varying intensity on lipid metabolism in middle aged men.Material and methods. Two bouts of physical exercise of moderate and high intensity were performed in 54 clinically healthy men aged 30-45 y.o. without obesity with subsequent assessment of lipid profile (total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and atherogenic index). Effect of physical exercise on the lipid profile as studied both in the whole group and in subjects with and without insulin resistance.Results. Acute physical exercise of moderate and high intensity produced beneficial effects on lipid parameters (increase in cholesterol of high density lipoprotein level and reduction of atherogenic index). Increased intensity of physical exercise caused more prominent improvement of lipid profile in subjects without insulin resistance. However subjects with insulin resistance had weaker response to physical exercise than individuals without insulin resistance did and increased intensity of physical exercise did not cause significant improvement of lipid parameters in subjects with insulin resistance.Conclusion. Response to moderate or high intensive physical exercise may depend on baseline metabolic profile. It should be taken into account under development of preventive programs for modifying risk factors of cardio-vascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus
