 The article is dedicated to solving issues posed to forensic experts while forensic structural engineering analysis (research), to determine the belonging of repair and construction work performed at construction facility (conducted or planned) to heavy or ongoing maintenance. Solution of issues encountered by forensic experts while conducting forensic structural engineering analyses as to attributing to a particular type of work (ongoing, heavy maintenance) is relevant for the theory and practice of forensic examinations and expert researches. Legislative acts, regulatory documents and other sources of information used when carrying out this type of research and being the basis for formation of final conclusions on performed researches have been analyzed.  Discrepancies, uncertainty and complexity of data contained in these regulatory and information sources, their controversial nature, which complicates the choice of reference for these data and their use in solving expert tasks; and in particular cases it makes it impossible for forensic experts to formulate conclusions while forensic structural engineering analysis of these issues. Relying on the analysis of legislative acts, requirements for regulatory documents, as well as forensic expert practice, it has been concluded that it is needed to systematize and develop uniform methodological approaches to solve current tasks in forensic structural engineering to attribute types of repair and construction work to a specific classification.

After a brief review of the scholarly discussion about the idea that context affects political behavior, this chapter proposes a model for the analysis of contextual effects on opinion formation and voting behavior. It highlights theoretical issues in the interplay of various contextual features and voter predispositions in bringing about contextual effects on voters. This model guides the analyses of contextual effects on voter behavior in Germany in the early twenty-first century. These analyses draw on rich data from multiple voter surveys and various sources of information about contextual features. The chapter also gives an overview of different methodological approaches and challenges in the analysis of contextual effects on voting behavior.

Methodological Approaches

The methodological approach used in any research decides the nature of knowledge the research is creating. Understanding the cardinal importance of methodological approach used in any research, this article attempts to review some of the research papers in ‘Marketing' domain and analyses the same with respect to methodological approaches. Based on the critical assessment of these papers, the article further draws some conclusions regarding how ‘Marketing' domain has been evolved with respect to research methodologies. Literature gaps are identified. One of the major challenges for management research is that the theories or frameworks proposed by researchers in management discipline are not implemented actually in practice. As a result, there is a huge gap between academic research and industry. This article tries to propose a solution to this problem by suggesting that marketing research should focus on systems approach in addition to other approaches. Conclusions are drawn based on the analysis. The limitations of the present study are also discussed.

В статье рассматриваются вопросы, с которыми сталкивается менеджмент организации при попытке оценить адекватность информационного обеспечения управленческих процессов. Несмотря на то, что функциональные направления в организации тесно взаимосвязаны и функционируют в едином информационном поле, в том, что касается их информационного обеспечения, имеются некоторые особенности. Например, в том, что касается инновационной деятельности, это акцент на внешние источники информации. Авторами предлагается методический прием для оценки эффективности информационного обеспечения инновационной деятельности, который может быть полезен в дополнение к имеющимся методическим подходам. The article discusses the issues faced by the organizations management when trying to assess the adequacy of information support for management processes. Despite the fact that the functional areas in the organization are closely interconnected and operate in a single information field, there are some features regarding their information support. For example, with regard to innovation, this focuses on external sources of information. The authors propose a methodological method for assessing the effectiveness of information support of innovative activities, which can be useful in addition to the available methodological approaches.

The Relationship

Introduction. Perfect polyphase unimodular sequences, i. e. sequences with ideal periodic autocorrelation and single amplitude of symbols are widely used in modern radio communications and radar. A special place among them is occupied by perfect ternary sequences (PTSs) with elements {–1, 0, 1}. In fact, these are binary sequences with the alphabet {–1, 1}, but with zero symbols in some positions. It is known that PTSs are quite numerous and their length in comparison with perfect binary sequences is not limited from above. The charge for this is a peak factor greater than one, which causes energy losses in the receiver. A large number of research papers and books are devoted to the design of PTSs and the study of their properties. In particular, the handbook on sequence design by Fan and Darnell (1996) which provides an overview of the then known PTS families has become widely famous. However, over the past two decades, numerous new PTS families were discovered, some theorems on their existence were obtained, and connections were established between them and circulant weighing matrices. Therefore, there is a need for a new review of existing PTSs.Objective. The article is devoted to a retrospective review of existing PTSs and their generation devices.Materials and methods. Considered and analyzed domestic and foreign sources of information (books, journal papers, conference proceedings, patents).Results. Along with solving an informational bibliographic problem, the review shows the relationship between PTSs obtained at different times, their connection with circulant weighing matrices, and also describes the block diagrams of generators of some PTS families.Conclusion. A brief retrospective review of PTSs for their almost 60 years history is presented and the generators of some PTS families are considered. The results of the study are relevant for use in modern radio communications and radar systems and in particular, in CW and LPI radars.

The article is devoted to the issues of the organization of compliance as a type of internal control forms and the possibility of applying methodological approaches to it that are typical for the organization of the internal control system. The methodological basis and results of the study are based on the experience of management of international companies, on the organization of the compliance system, as well as on the results of a review of various sources of information regarding this issue. It is revealed that foreign practice allocates compliance to an independent structural division, whose employees are given the appropriate powers starting from consulting and training employees on compliance issues to conducting an internal investigation of fraudulent actions and participating in the identification and assessment of compliance risks of an economic entity. Recommendations that are made are based on the need to develop standards for an economic entity that meet international requirements for identifying and evaluating compliance risks associated with professional business conduct and monitoring them. The stages of development of compliance as a form of control are determined. The theoretical and practical significance of the study is to justify the application of existing practices of the compliance organization for the development of internal interaction rules, procedures, and decision-making process by an economic entity.

Analyses of available data (newspaper reports, historical and church chronicles, chronical earthquake overviews, travel books, monographies, research papers, etc.) on effects of the earthquakes that shook the greater Ormož area at the Slovenian-Croatian border in the 1838 and 1839 revealed that one of them, recorded in a number of regional and global catalogues, is in fact a fake - the earthquake of 26 August 1838 never happened. This error creeped into various reports and studies, and then into many relevant catalogues, so this event should by systematically erased from the catalogues used to estimate seismicity rates in the neighbourhoods of north-western Croatia, north-eastern Slovenia, and south-western Hungary.Regarding the earthquake of 31 July 1838, we used important new sources of information that have not been consulted in any previous study. This made inversion of macroseismic parameters more robust. Our estimates of the macroseismic moment magnitude (Mwm = 4.8) is mostly higher than the values reported in the available catalogues. Reliable information on the effects of the smaller event of 22 March 1839 were found for two localities only, so its epicentre was placed into the town of Ormož where the maximum intensity was observed. Its estimated moment magnitude (Mwm) is close to the median of values found in the six consulted catalogues that listed this event.The macroseismic epicentre of the 1838 earthquake lies close to the junction of surface traces of the Donat strike-slip fault and the reverse Čakovec fault. Based on their assumed geometry and the location of the macroseismic hypocentre, we give slight preference to the Donat fault as the seismogenic source.

<span>This paper presents a baseline perspective of knowledge engineering (KE) methodologies by taking a critical look at the methodological approaches currently used in knowledge engineering domain. A literature review bordering on; the knowledge role concept, knowledge elicitation techniques, and ontological approaches employed in knowledge engineering for the construction of knowledge-based systems (KBSs) was carried out. Journal and conference articles were sourced from multiple journals and research databases and a multi-step manual cross-checking based on carefully selected extraction and quality criteria were employed. The findings of the study show that the existing methodological approaches employed for constructing KBSs in KE is highly deficient and inefficient for solving KE problems under dynamic and uncertain environments. The paper concludes by presenting a strong argument as to why soft systems methodology is best suited for constructing knowledge base systems (KBS) in a spatially distributed, unstructured and shared domain specific context.</span>
