Air transportation has grown in an unexpected way during last decades and is expected to increase even more in the next years. Traffic growth tendencies forecast an expansion in the demand and greater aviation connectivity, but also higher workload to the different airspace users, especially for airport and services. Therefore, it is essential to employ strategies designed to use efficiently valuable corporate resource. Airport authorities around the world are investing in large capital projects, including new or improved runways, terminal expansions, and entirely new airports. However, this effort is sometimes limited due to their geographic location. In this work, two main objectives are pursued: first, to highlight the importance of the industry by exposing the current situation and future trends all over the world focusing in the Mexican industry; and second, to introduce a simulation model which can be used as a decision making tool for the upcoming demand. The analysis of the scenarios illustrates how to develop strategies to cope with the different airspace user's needs.

In the time of globalization and the continuous travelling of people between different parts of the world, air transportation is becoming one of the most important modes of transport. Nevertheless, it is crucial to continuously improve the level of safety and reduce the absolute number of accidents and their victims. The risk analysis with the usage of IT system TURAWA, which was developed to collect the aircraft’s accidents informations, has been discussed in the presented article. Calculation of risk is based on the data sample collected in the operation process. The implementation of the risk of potential failure event in TURAWA is presented and compared with the prediction of such situation by the decision trees. It has been concluded that models should be developed, which cause in the elimination of the human factor from the decision making chain.

Regeneration Systems

A simulation model was recently developed to aid forest managers in making rational economic decisions with respect to the various regeneration systems. The model capitalizes on the forest manager's experience with, and opinions of, different aspects of these systems. Opinions expressed as his subjective estimates need not be exact nor based entirely on actual data as long as they are free of bias. The final results will indicate the probability that one regeneration system might be better than others, and by how much.This paper demonstrates by means of three examples the application and interpretation of the results of the model. Although the input estimates used for these examples are believed to be well within the present cost structure, it is the application of the model as a decision-making tool that should concern the reader and not so much the results of the examples.

In this article are discussed the main prospects of development of cryptocurrency in Singapore, as it is widespread and used all over the world. The article covers the main points for the regulation of the cryptocurrency. There is a wide range of cryptocurrency trading platforms, and most of them are located in different countries, which leads to significant differences in terms of regulation by the authorities and, accordingly, different rules for users and companies. Several exchanges allow trading derivatives. A more detailed review would give a correct impression of the current situation in the world in terms of regulation of cryptocurrencies and future trends. Cryptocurrencies continue their development; the number of users of cyber money is steadily growing. The popularity of bitcoin has generated the creation of other cryptocurrencies that are developing along with bitcoin, but their popularity and capabilities are much less. In some countries, including Russia, the government started warning people that investing in “cash” equivalents could lead to losses in case if there is a collapse of cryptocurrency (bitcoin).

This paper discusses medical diagnosis from the clinicians point of view. The aim of the paper is to identify areas where computer science and information science may be of help to the practising clinician. Collection of data, analysis, and decision-making are discussed in turn. Finally, some specific recommendations are made for further joint research on the basis of experience around the world to date.

Radical Transformation

 The author analyzes the conceptions of ontological nihilism in the works of S. Kierkegaard, F. Nietzsche, M. Heidegger, E. Jünger. On the basis of this analysis, violence is defined as a manifestation of nihilism, of the “will to nothingness” and hypertrophy of the self-will of man. The article demonstrates the importance of the problem of nihilism. The nihilistic thinking of modern man is expressed in the attitude toward a radical transformation of the world from the position of his “absolute” righteousness. The paradox of the current situation is that there is the reverse side of this transformative activity, when there is only the appearance of action and the dilution of responsibility. Confidence in the rightness of own views and beliefs increases the risk of the violent imposition of own vision of reality. Historical and philosophical reconstruction of the conceptions of nihilism allowed to reveal the following projects of its comprehension and resolution: (1) the project of “positing of values,” which consists in the transformation of the evaluation, which is understood as another perspective of positing values, leading to the affirmation of being; (2) the project of overcoming nihilism from the space of temporality, carried out through the resoluteness to accept the historicity of own existence; (3) the project of overcoming nihilism as the oblivion of being from the spatial perspective of the “line,” allowing to realize the “glimpse” of being. The author concludes that it is impossible to solve the problem of violence and its various forms of its manifestation without overcoming “ontological nihilism.” Significant role in solving the problem of ontological violence is assigned to philosophy as a critical and responsible form of thinking, which is capable to help a person to bear the burden of the world, to provide meanings and affirm being, as well as to unite people and resist the fundamentalist claims of exclusivity and rightness.
