A model for managing the investment process is proposed, based on the example of investing in cybersecurity of national scale informatization objects, taking into account the multifactorial nature of this process. The difference between this model and those previously developed is that, firstly, it considers the investment process as a complex structure, for which it is not enough to model it as a one-factor category. Second, our model is based on the solution of a bilinear multi-step quality game with several terminal surfaces. The solution is obtained within the framework of the scheme of a new class of bilinear multistage games describing the interaction of objects in a multidimensional space. Consideration of the investment process in such a setting makes it possible to adequately describe the process of searching for rational strategies of players in the course of investing in information technologies. The study made it possible to implement the program code of the model in the MatLab simulation environment.

It is shown that the application of multi-step quality games theory allows financing of various information technologies considering various factors. In particular, there are lots of approaches to building effective information security systems in the enterprise. Using such model will make it possible to develop, based on game models, decision support systems (DSS), for example, software products (PP). Which, in turn, will allow making rational decisions on investing in the development of such technologies. This circumstance makes it necessary and relevant to develop new models and software products that can implement decision support procedures in the process of finding rational investment strategies, including in information security field of enterprises, and obtaining forecast assessment for feasibility of a specific strategy. The model proposed by us is based on analysis of financing process by investors in information technology for protecting information tasks for the case of their multi-factoring in fuzzy setting. The investment process management model is proposed, using the example of investing in the information security of informatization objects taking into account multi-factoring and in fuzzy setting for DSS computational core. The difference between the model and previously developed ones is that it considers the investment process as complex structure, for which it is not enough to model it as a single-factor category. Computational experiments were performed for the developed model. The simulation results are visualized in the Python programming language, which allows you to optimize the procedures for investment process managing.

Abstract. Translating complex structures have always been a challenge for a translator since the structures can be densed with ideas and particular logical relations. The purpose of translation is reproducing texts into another language to make them available to wider readerships. Since language is not merely classification of a set of universal and general concept, that each language articulates or organizes the world differently, the concepts in one language can be radically different from another. One issue in translation is the difference among languages, that the wider gaps between the source and target languages may bring greater problems of transfer of message from the source into the target languages (Culler, 1976). Problematic factors involved in translation include meaning, style, proverbs, idioms and others. A number of translation procedures and strategies have been discussed to solve translation problems. This article presents analysis of complex structures in scientific Indonesian, the problems and effects on translation into English. The study involves data taken from two research article papers in Indonesian to be translated into English. The results of the analysis show seven (7) problems of Indonesian complex structures, whose effect on translation process can be grouped into two: complex structures related to grammar (including: complex structure with incomplete information, run-on sentences, redundancy , sentence elements with inequal semantic relation, and logical relation and choice of conjunctor) and complex structures related to information processing in discourse (including: front-weight- structure and thematic structure with changes of Theme element). Problems related to grammar may be solved with language economy and accuracy while those related to discourse may be solved with understanding information packaging patterns in the target language discourse. Keywords: scientific language, complex structures, translation

Inflammatory Bowel Disease is lifetime chronic progressive inflammatory disease. A considerable portion of patients, do not respond or lose response or experience side effect to “traditional” biological treatment such as anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α agents. The concept that the blockade of T cell traffic to the gut controls inflammation has stimulated the development of new drugs which selectively targets molecules involved in controlling cell homing to the intestine. The result is the reduction of the chronic inflammatory infiltration in the gut. In this regard, anti-adhesion molecules represent a new class of drugs for patients who don’t respond or lose response to traditional therapy. Moreover, some of these molecules such as vedolizumab, offer the advantage to target the delivery of a drug to the gut (gut selectivity) which could increase clinical efficacy and limit potential adverse events. In this article, we will give an overview of the current data on anti-adhesion molecules in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

In the wind tunnel facility, a test structure is often used for measuring its vibrational response to the aerodynamic excitation. A support is needed to sustaining the structure and it is mandatory that this support does not influence the vibrational energy to be measured. To this aim, the maximum amount of energy decoupling between the structure and the support is desired. This work is focused around a quick method to estimate this decoupling by using simplified models for the Turbulent Boundary Layer (TBL) excitation and for the structural response. Specifically, the Equivalent Rain-on-the-roof excitation is invoked with a Statistical Energy Analysis model for the structure. Some simple design rules are proposed and based on little information leading to foresee the difference of vibrational velocity levels between the two structural systems. A simplified test-case is used for the first investigations and a complex structure is finally conceived thinking to vibroacoustic measurements in a large wind tunnel facility. Although some results are largely expected, the global approach is promising.

abstract Strigolactones (SLs) are a new class of phytohormones that also act as germination stimulants for root parasitic plants, such as Striga spp., and as branching factors for symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Sources for natural SLs are very limited. Hence, efficient and simple SL analogs are needed for elucidating SL-related biological processes as well as for agricultural applications. Based on the structure of the non-canonical SL methyl carlactonoate, we developed a new, easy to synthesize series of analogs, termed methyl phenlactonoates (MPs), evaluated their efficacy in exerting different SL functions, and determined their affinity for SL receptors from rice and Striga hermonthica. Most of the MPs showed considerable activity in regulating plant architecture, triggering leaf senescence, and inducing parasitic seed germination. Moreover, some MPs outperformed GR24, a widely used SL analog with a complex structure, in exerting particular SL functions, such as modulating Arabidopsis roots architecture and inhibiting rice tillering. Thus, MPs will help in elucidating the functions of SLs and are promising candidates for agricultural applications. Moreover, MPs demonstrate that slight structural modifications clearly impact the efficiency in exerting particular SL functions, indicating that structural diversity of natural SLs may mirror a functional specificity.


When a complex structure is excited in several different ways by different sources, the sea energy balance equations result in a set of linear equations that can be used to calculate loss factors, coupling loss factors or net energy flows and incoming powers. If certain symmetry relations are used, and/or if some prior knowledge about the system is available, the set of linear equations is overdetermined and can be solved by a least square technique. A good indicator for the direction of the energy flow is the SEA temperature of the subsystems. Experiments and computer simulations performed on three plate arrangements gave in general good results when the coupling was weak and there were more than three modes in the frequency band of interest. Not so good results were obtained when a small energy flow has to be measured as the difference of large quantities.

This paper presents the results of the research of the characteristics of achievement motive of future physical education teachers. Starting from understanding of the importance of achievement motive for the successful accomplishment of professional goals and roles of teachers, the aim of our research is to examine the level of achievement motive, the characteristics of its structure and differences according to gender. The instrument MOP2002 (Francesko et al., 2002a) was applied, which presupposes the complex structure of this motive. The sample consisted of 373 students (263 male and 110 female) of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education in Belgrade. The results show that their achievement motive is characterized by the tendency towards high level of presence, and its structure is in the largest degree determined by the components accomplishing goals as a source of pleasure and perseverance in accomplishing goals, which is followed by orientation towards planning. The component competing with others is demonstrated in a moderate degree and it is least expressed. It was shown that female students have a larger degree of achievement motive when compared to male students, and accomplishing goals as a source of pleasure and perseverance in accomplishing goals mostly contribute to the difference in structure of achievement motive. It can be expected that the achievement motive, with the structure and degree of presence determined in our respondents, will contribute that they, as future teachers, become a good motivational model and the creators of a desirable motivational climate.

The research methodology used for descriptive research design. A major element of the paper is offers a number of an original contribution to students, academics and practitioners. The paper is valuable for them because its development and validation of the research model and its accompanying measurement instrument. The findings show these concepts are important and required to work closely together in order to deliver a set of included small business services to the user community, otherwise the overall technology services themselves will not provide any value to the business unless data should be used to achieve the requirements. It is evidently that combination of these concepts and Information Technologies (IT) results into reliable systems in the enterprises. The Business Processing management, The Business analyzing, both system analyzing and Business Processing Re-engineering can be considered as complementary to each other rather than as a substitute like piece of puzzle. They are contributing to the value addition of the small business.

Қазіргі уақытта туризм қуатты әлемдік индустрияға айналды. Саланың экономикалық тиімділігін жоғарылату үшін турист пен турфирманың өзара әрекеттестігінің қағидаларын әзірлеу туризм индустриясындағы инвестициялық қызметті зерттейтін қазіргі ғылыми зерттеулердің аса маңызды міндеттерінің бірі болып табылады. Бұл мақалада туризм индустриясына салынатын инвестициялардың тиімділігін бағалаудың бұрыннан қолданылып келе жатқан әдістері зерттелген, сондай-ақ салыстыра талдаудың негізінде пайдалануға ең оңтайлы әдіс анықталған. Қойылған мақсатпен сәйкестікте, туризм индустриясындағы инвестициялық процестің ерекшеліктері анықталып, туризм индустриясына салынатын инвестициялардың тиімділігіне ықпал ететін факторлар белгіленген және туризм индустриясына салынатын инвестициялардың тиімділігін жоғарылату бойынша ұсыныстар әзірленген. Туризм индустриясына салынатын инвестициялардың тиімділігін бағалаудың бұрыннан қолданылып келе жатқан әдістерін зерттеу барысында инвестициялардың тиімділігін есептеудің дисконттау процесін қолдануға негізделген, пайдалануға барынша оңтайлы әдісі анықталды, яғни дисконттық көбейтуді қолдану UNIDO әдістемесіне (Бизнес-жоспар жасау әдістемесі) негізделген. Бұл әдістеме әзірлеу барысында кез келген кәсіпорынның, оның ішінде туристік саладағы кәсіпорынның да ағымдағы немесе жоспарлы қызметіне сипаттама берудегі барлық маңызды сәттерді ескеруге мүмкіндік береді. Әдістеме кірістер мен нақты шығыстардың ағымдарына сипаттама беруге негізделген, бұл ретте олардың арасындағы айырма ақша ағымын білдіреді және оны дисконттық көбейткіштердің көмегімен түзетуге болады. In our time, tourism is a powerful global industry. The development of rules for interaction between a tourist and a travel agency to maximize economic efficiency is one of the most important tasks of modern scientific research on investment activities in the tourism industry. This article explores the already existing methods for assessing the effectiveness of investment in the tourism industry, and also on the basis of a comparative analysis, the most optimal method for use is determined. In accordance with this goal, the features of the investment process in the tourism industry are identified, the factors that influence the efficiency of investments in the tourism industry are identified, and recommendations are made to improve the efficiency of investments in the tourism industry. In the course of researching existing methods for assessing the effectiveness of investment in the tourism industry, the most optimal method for calculating investment efficiency was determined, based on the application of the discounting process, that is, the use of a discount factor, based on the UNIDO methodology (Methodology for drawing up a business plan). This technique allows, when developing, to take into account all the essential points when characterizing, current or planned activities of any enterprise, including a tourist one. The methodology is based on the description of income streams and real expenses, the difference between which is a cash flow, which can already be adjusted using discount factors.
