An Adaptive System of Decision Making for Financial Markets

In the article an adaptive model of decision-making for financial markets based on the method of weighted indicators is considered. The model is built on signals from several standard mechanical trade systems (MTS) by generalizing and redistributing between them weight coefficients that change according to the effectiveness of the MTS. Calculations are per-formed by making use of price dynamic data from the international currency market FOREX.decision making; financial markets; currency market; adaptive system

Improving the Training System of Water Transport Management Specialists in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation

The article discusses the issues of building a competitive system of higher education in the Arctic region and formation of specialists’ professional competencies for solving urgent scientific and technological problems within the concept of the Arctic economy innovative development. It is concluded that in order to be competitive, the new regional higher education system must undergo rapid changes to meet the modern economy requirements. That being said, the formation of Arctic competences is on the one hand a specific condition of professional training of specialists for the Arctic economy, which is not secured by the legislation; on the other hand, it is an important factor in maintaining competitiveness of both the regional vocational education system as a whole and that of a specific university

FIRST RECORD OF PSEUDOHADENA ARGYLLOSTIGMA (VARGA & RONKAY, 1991) FOR KAZAKHSTAN, WITH A CATALOGUE OF THE GENUS PSEUDOHADENA ALPHÉRAKY, 1889 OF KAZAKHSTAN (LEPIDOPTERA, NOCTUIDAE)

A poorly-known noctuid species Pseudohadena argyllostigma (Varga & Ronkay, 1991) is recorded from North-East Kazakhstan. This is one of the few records of the species since its description, and the first from Kazakhstan. The adults, male and female genitalia and habitat of the species are illustrated, the check-list of species of the genus Pseudohadena Alphéraky, 1889 of Kazakhstan is presented

Description of female of Thargelia leucostigma Varga & L. Ronkay, 1991 with new data on distribution of the species (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

The paper contains description of a female of the poorly known Noctuidae species Thargelia leucostigma Varga & L. Ronkay, 1991 described from South Mongolia. The species is reported for Kazakhstan (Zaisan Depression) for the first time. Populations from SW Mongolia and East Kazakhstan were compared by COI sequences, and have no molecular differences. COI sequence of the species is presented. The map of known localities of the species is presented, adults, male and female genitalia, habitat and adults in nature are illustrated

New data on eastern limits of ranges of Egira anatolica (M. Hering, 1933) and Egira conspicillaris (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

The paper contains new data on the easternmost limits of distribution of the noctuid species Egira anatolica (M. Hering, 1933) and Egira conspicillaris (Linnaeus, 1758). E. anatolica was found in eastern and northeastern Kazakhstan for the first time. Known eastern borders of the range of another Egira species, E. conspicillaris (Linnaeus, 1758) are corrected, in addition, the species is reported for Transcaucasia (Georgia) for the first time. The map of collecting localities of E. anatolica is presented, adults and male and female genitalia are illustrated

What Writing Assistants Can Learn from Programming IDEs

With the development of artificial intelligence, writing assistants (WAs) are changing the way people interact with text, creating lengthy outputs that can be overwhelming for users. The programming field has long addressed this issue, and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) have been created for efficient software development, helping programmers reduce the cognitive load. This experience could be employed in the development of WAs. IDEs can also be used to test assumptions about interventions that help people interact with WAs efficiently. Previous works have successfully used self-written IDE plugins to test hypotheses in the field of human-computer interaction. The lessons learned can be applied to the building of WAs.Comment: Accepted to the In2Writing Workshop co-located with CHI 2023, 2 page

Check list of noctuid moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae and Erebidae excluding Lymantriinae and Arctiinae) from the Saur mountains (East Kazakhstan and North-East China)

The paper contains data on the fauna of the Lepidoptera families Erebidae (excluding subfamilies Lymantriinae and Arctiinae) and Noctuidae of the Saur Mountains (East Kazakhstan). The check list includes 217 species. The map of collecting localities is presented

Overcoming the Mental Set Effect in Programming Problem Solving

This paper adopts a cognitive psychology perspective to investigate the recurring mistakes in code resulting from the mental set (Einstellung) effect. The Einstellung effect is the tendency to approach problem-solving with a preconceived mindset, often overlooking better solutions that may be available. This effect can significantly impact creative thinking, as the development of patterns of thought can hinder the emergence of novel and creative ideas. Our study aims to test the Einstellung effect and the two mechanisms of its overcoming in the field of programming. The first intervention was the change of the color scheme of the code editor to the less habitual one. The second intervention was a combination of instruction to "forget the previous solutions and tasks" and the change in the color scheme. During the experiment, participants were given two sets of four programming tasks. Each task had two possible solutions: one using suboptimal code dictated by the mental set, and the other using a less familiar but more efficient and recommended methodology. Between the sets, participants either received no treatment or one of two interventions aimed at helping them overcome the mental set. The results of our experiment suggest that the tested techniques were insufficient to support overcoming the mental set, which we attribute to the specificity of the programming domain. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into creativity support during problem-solving in software development and offering a framework for experimental research in this field.Comment: Accepted to PPIG'23, 15 pages, 5 figure
