Проблема полного учета контроля размерно-качественных характеристик древесины, получаемой в процессе лесозаготовки, является одним из основных аспектов в условиях рыночных отношений для лесозаготовительных предприятий и фактором регулирования издержек производства. Информацию по размерным параметрам заготовленной древесины система контроля-измерения современных многооперационных машин хранит в файлах с различными расширениями. В настоящее время отечественного программного обеспечения, которое позволяло бы динамически проанализировать объем отдельного ствола дерева, не существует, имеются только программные комплексы, позволяющие оценить заготовленную продукцию в целом. Целью работы является создание программного обеспечения для графического представления и динамического расчета объема заготовленной многооперационными лесными машинами продукции, в том числе для оперативного учета размерных параметров древесины, заготовленной из любой части ствола дерева. Разработанное программное обеспечение написано на языке программирования Python в среде программирования PyCharm Community. Разработанное программное обеспечение позволяет осуществлять динамический расчет объема заготовленной многооперационными лесными машинами продукции, в том числе для оперативного учета размерных параметров древесины, заготовленной из любой части ствола дерева, а также графически представить полученные результаты в удобной для анализа форме. Использование разработанной программы позволит оперативно анализировать размерно-качественные характеристики заготовленной древесины с выработкой корректирующих технологических решений в процессах лесозаготовки, что способствует снижению эксплуатационных затрат и себестоимости заготовки древесины, повышению производительности и прибыли для лесопромышленных компаний от производственно-хозяйственной деятельности. The problem of fully accounting for the control of the size and quality characteristics of wood obtained in the process of logging is one of the main aspects in the conditions of market relations for logging enterprises and is a factor in regulating production costs. The control and measurement system of modern multioperation machines stores information on the size parameters of harvested wood in files with various extensions. Currently, there is no domestic software that would allow you to dynamically analyze the volume of a single tree trunk, there are only software packages that allow you to evaluate the harvested products as a whole. The purpose of the work is to create software for graphical representation and dynamic calculation of the volume of harvested wood by multi-operation forest machines of products, including for operational accounting of the dimensional parameters of wood harvested from any part of the tree trunk. The developed software is written in the Python programming language in PyCharm Community programming environment. The developed software allows you to perform dynamic calculation of the volume of harvested wood by multi-operation forest machines of products, including for operational accounting of the dimensional parameters of wood harvested from any part of the tree trunk, as well as graphically present the results in a convenient form for analysis. Using the developed program will allow you to quickly analyze the size and quality characteristics of harvested wood with the development of corrective technological solutions in the logging processes, which helps to reduce operating costs and the cost of harvesting wood, increase productivity and profit for timber companies from production and economic activities.

Abstract This chapter highlights a number of urban programs related to gardens that rank as the most noteworthy of gardens' new directions in an urban milieu. New directions in garden tourism in urban areas are marked by reaching out to new audiences (where neighborhood demography is changing), community programming, local participation in decision making, attracting new ethnic audiences, and overall outreach to their own particular neighbors. Botanic gardens are also playing a lead role in the application of and education about the need for a sustainable future. Examples of urban garden initiatives in the USA, UK and New Zealand are highlighted.

This study was designed to examine the relationship between suicide acceptability and religious well-being, and to investigate the differences that may exist between African American suicide attempters and non-attempters on these two concepts. Two hundred low-income, African Americans were administered self-report questionnaires measuring suicide acceptability and religious well-being. Findings indicated that suicide acceptability was negatively related to religious well-being for both suicide attempters and non-attempters. There was also a significant difference between these two groups on suicide acceptability and religious well-being. Results were consistent with previous research that suggests that African Americans who attempt suicide endorse higher levels of suicide acceptability and lower levels of religious well-being than do their nonattempter counterparts. These findings have important implications for culturally-competent community programming and community mental health programs that serve low-income ethnic minority populations.

Budget Shortfalls

In the 1960s, resident organizers in New York City brought demands for jobs, political power, and self-determination into public housing from local freedom struggles. Facing budget shortfalls and political hostility, the city’s Housing Authority built alliances with these activists. The partnership programs they created—the Tenant Patrol and the Residents Advisory Council—engaged thousands of residents in community programming, employment opportunities, and political activism. Resident organizing improved working-class neighborhoods, helped preserve public housing, and connected residents to broader struggles for social and economic justice. This article situates tenant organizing within histories of public housing, social movements, and antipoverty policy, and argues that these efforts helped to sustain and improve the lives of poor and working-class New Yorkers in an era of scarcity.

The Relationship

As a member of the Tahltan Nation, I carried out research that centred on community experiences of language reclamation. The investigation focused on how language reclamation is connected to health and healing, as well as what has been done and what still needs to be done to revitalize and reclaim the Tahltan language. Language reclamation is the start of a process in which our people heal from the impacts of colonization and assimilation by reclaiming our language, culture, and identity, thereby allowing our voices to become stronger and healthier. From what was learned from community co-researchers, scholars who have worked with our communities, Indigenous community language revitalization experts, and international language revitalization scholars, I developed a Tāłtān Language Reclamation Framework focusing on governance; language programming; documentation; training and professional development; and resiliency, healing, and well-being. This report will discuss the ways in which this framework has been implemented in community over the last decade, highlighting examples such as the formation of a language governing body, Dah Dẕāhge Nodeside (Tahltan Language Reclamation Council); the implementation of language nests; the development of a Tāłtān language school K–8 curriculum; the creation of learning materials based on old and new recordings of first language speakers (e.g., digital apps and videos, websites, alphabet book, grammar resources); post-secondary fluency/proficiency community programming; and documentation training. Finally, we continue to focus on the relationship between language reclamation, intergenerational trauma, and healing, resiliency, and well-being. This will be done through community-based immersive programming that focuses on the nurturing of relationships with first language speakers in order to create not only learning resources, but safe and supportive environments for all speakersーlearners, second language speakers, silent speakers, and first language speakers.

The article discusses the continued relevance of the Čikāgas Piecīši (The Chicago Five), an American-Latvian musical-comedy troupe that toured Latvian exile communities and performed in Soviet and post-Soviet Latvia over the span of some fifty years. It asks the question: Given the diverse and contentious nature of their global audiences, how did the Čikāgas Piecīši sustain their appeal and their authority as spokespersons for Latvians worldwide? Five sources fundamental to their success are identified and analysed. In their concerts, the Čikāgas Piecīši offered a lively new form of social communication to their audiences. While their biographies connected them with the culture and values of their elders, the cultural authenticity they brought to the stage foregrounded Latvian and American experiences and presented a more inclusive worldview than the one they had inherited. As they gently challenged prevailing boundaries, including those that forbade contact with Soviet Latvia, they changed the register for speaking about Latvian exile life by adding humour to the accustomed solemnity of community programming. Their work extended the notion of intertextuality beyond that of verbal texts to include musical sounds and images. My sources derive from participant-observation over many years, both in the Latvian community in Indianapolis and at Latvian Song Festivals in North America where the performances of the Čikāgas Piecīši were regular crowd pleasers. I consulted reviews and interviews published in the U.S. and in Latvia, articles in exile publications (such as the literary journal Jaunā Gaita), and conducted interviews with members of the group.
