The article analyzes the information content of the websites of amalgamated hromadas (AHs). On the example of AHs of Lviv region, a content analysis of the information on websites was carried out. Of the 41 formed during 2015-2019 amalgamated hromadas of Lviv region, 38 hromadas have created their official website. Mostly, the AHs’ websites cover: information about the activities of the management apparatus; information about the governance apparatus and the deputy composition of the AH council; budget and use of budget funds; participation of citizens in governance; regulatory activity/policy; strategic documents; passport of AH; detailed description of infrastructure, labor, agricultural, natural, tourism resources, enterprises operating on the territory of AH; there is a tab with information about ASC; investment passport and the land plots, which are intended for the implementation of investment projects, as well as information about the activities of various departments and communal utilities. It is noted that during the coverage of information on official websites, executive authorities should be guided by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine «On the procedure for publishing information on the activities of executive authorities on the Internet», as well as Art. 15 of the Law of Ukraine «On Access to Public Information». It is determined that the most common is information about the composition and activities of the AH governance apparatus, information about the deputy composition, budget and use of budget funds, regulatory activities. The index of the amount of information covered is proposed and computed. It is concluded that AHs with general fund income (without transfers) per capita of more than 3000 UAH have more informatively filled websites. However, the type of hromada (urban or rural) does not influence the amount of information covered on the website. In general, the carried out analysis showed the lack of asymmetry in the disclosure and dissemination of information through the official websites of AHs of the Lviv region.

The Relationship

Abstract This piece of work investigates the relation between characters in a play based on turntaking dialogues. As the dialogues are related to each other in the play, numbers of turn-taking are significant of the characters’ relationship and the utterances give indication about the information content of the interaction. In this Manipuri radio play, the sequence of turns taken by the characters convey different amount of information with different functions. Numbers of dialogues oscillate significantly with a period of 2 scenes during the play. The degree of oscillation present in turn-taking dialogues carries significant information functions. The nature of the relationship between the characters involved and the theme of the play may be characterised by calculations on turn-taking dialogues.

The Past

The Information Content (IC) of a concept quantifies the amount of information it provides when appearing in a context. In the past, IC used to be computed as a function of concept appearance probabilities in corpora, but corpora-dependency and data sparseness hampered results. Recently, some other authors tried to overcome previous approaches, estimating IC from the knowledge modeled in an ontology. In this paper, the authors develop this idea, by proposing a new model to compute the IC of a concept exploiting the taxonomic knowledge modeled in an ontology. In comparison with related works, their proposal aims to better capture semantic evidences found in the ontology. To test the authors’ approach, they have applied it to well-known semantic similarity measures, which were evaluated using standard benchmarks. Results show that the use of the authors’ model produces, in most cases, more accurate similarity estimations than related works.

The U.S

A study of the information content of U.S. and U.K. advertising was developed in the context of the Foote, Cone and Belding (FCB) planning matrix. A 1985 sample shows that U.S. television ads in that year have more information content than those in 1977 and more than a sample of 1985 U.K. television ads. Despite an increase in informativeness, more than 34% of the U.S. ads still had no information content. The study illustrates that the amount of information content in ads is related closely to the decision-making situation defined by dimensions of the FCB matrix. Specifically, significant main effects are found but no interactions for degree of involvement (high vs. low) or type of involvement (rational vs. emotional). Overall, ads for high involvement and rational products have the most information, with generally higher levels in the U.S. than in the U.K.

AbstractIn this review we discuss methodology to ascertain the amount of information in given data sets with respect to determination of model parameters with desired levels of uncertainty. We do this in the context of least squares (ordinary, weighted, iterative reweighted weighted or “generalized”, etc.) based inverse problem formulations. The ideas are illustrated with several examples of interest in the biological and environmental sciences.

The article describes a device based on the holographic method for measuring the parameters of dispersed aerosols. In the proposed device, the measured particle is irradiated with two beams perpendicular to the main radiation axis, while the resulting holographic image in each of the projections gives an increased amount of information (in contrast to existing solutions) about the parameters of the particles. The information obtained is processed layer by layer using digital holography methods to form a volumetric representation of the aerosol under study, which significantly increases the information content of measurements in comparison with existing devices. Methods and algorithms for layer-by-layer processing of the obtained holographic images are described, which make it possible to reconstruct the parameters of aerosols of complex shapes. The design of the device and an algorithm for layer-by-layer reconstruction of aerosol images are proposed.

AbstractConverting customer needs into specific forms and providing consumers with services are crucial in product design. Currently, conversion is no longer difficult due to the development of modern technology, and various measures can be applied for product realization, thus increasing the complexity of analysis and evaluation in the design process. The focus of the design process has thus shifted from problem solving to minimizing the total amount of information content. This paper presents a New Hybrid Axiomatic Design (AD) Methodology based on iteratively matching and merging design parameters that meet the independence axiom and attribute constraints by applying trimming technology, the ideal final results, and technology evolution theory. The proposed method minimizes the total amount of information content and improves the design quality. Finally, a case study of a rehabilitation robot design for hemiplegic patients is presented. The results indicate that the iterative matching and merging of related attributes can minimize the total amount of information content, reduce the cost, and improve design efficiency. Additionally, evolutionary technology prediction can ensure product novelty and improve market competitiveness. The methodology provides an excellent way to design a new (or improved) product.

If we make a set of measurements, such as narrow-band or multicolour photo-electric measurements, which are designed to improve a scheme of classification, and in particular if they are designed to extend the number of dimensions of classification, i.e. the number of classification parameters, then some important problems of analytical procedure arise. First, it is important not to reproduce the errors of the classification scheme which we are trying to improve. Second, when trying to extend the number of dimensions of classification we have little or nothing with which to test the validity of the new parameters.Problems similar to these have occurred in other areas of scientific research (notably psychology and education) and the branch of Statistics called Multivariate Analysis has been developed to deal with them. The techniques of this subject are largely unknown to astronomers, but, if carefully applied, they should at the very least ensure that the astronomer gets the maximum amount of information out of his data and does not waste his time looking for information which is not there. More optimistically, these techniques are potentially capable of indicating the number of classification parameters necessary and giving specific formulas for computing them, as well as pinpointing those particular measurements which are most crucial for determining the classification parameters.
