Modelling for Clinical and Psysiological Evaluation of Diabetes and Glucose Homeostasis

There is a long history of arithmetic simulations in the domain of gluconeogenesis. There are various reasons why frameworks are used. Paradigms have been employed to calculate physiologically relevant parameters from intermediate experimental evidence, to offer a clear quantitative description of pathophysiology processes, and to identify clinical relevance indicators from basic empirical procedures. The creation and application of frameworks in this field has expanded in response to the rising social effect of type 2 diabetes that entails a disruption of the glycemic homeostasis system. The frameworks' emphasis has ranged from depictions of entire body functions to lymphocytes (form “in Vivo” to “in Vitro”) study, following the methodologies of physiologic and medicinal exploration. Framework-based techniques to connecting in vivo and in vitro research, and also multi-resolution systems that combine the two domains, have been presented. The arithmetic and psychological domains have had varying levels of effectiveness and influence.

Social Effect Analysis of Intelligent Sports Based on Principal Component Analysis and Fuzzy Control

In order to explore the social effects of intelligent sports systems, this paper combines principal component analysis technology and fuzzy control technology to construct an intelligent sports social effect analysis system. The original fuzzy data is expressed linearly by structural elements, and the original fuzzy data matrix is divided into a main data matrix part and an error data matrix part. According to the principal component analysis method of fuzzy data represented by structural elements, this paper studies the principal component analysis method of interval data using the left end point matrix, right end point matrix, and midpoint matrix of interval data. In addition, this article uses principal component analysis and fuzzy control to study the response of the intelligent motion system to the masses and conducts experiments to analyze the social effects. It can be seen from experimental research that the intelligent sports system constructed in this article has a high degree of satisfaction of the masses, which proves that the intelligent sports have a certain social effect.

The peculiarities of using the ZOOM platform, AnswerGarden and Padlet services to conduct a series of webinars created within the objectives of the project «Psychological support for the elderly in pandemic period», recommended for implementation in 2020-2021 with grant support by the National Research Foundation of Ukraine. Using online services for a series of webinars allowed participants to save time, as they do not need to spend it on the way to the venue of the webinars; most of the participants were in different cities and regions of Ukraine; Convenience was also important, as webinars participants could be in a convenient place. The results of webinars participant’s registration are covered, in particular: age category, type of employment, territorial affiliation. Here is an example of statistics on webinars views on the YouTube channel «Vik Obranyh». It is determined that the advantages of using webinars are: providing information accessible, understandable to anyone, language, taking into account the age characteristics of the elderly, reaching a large audience. The practical value of webinars lies in influencing the emotional, cog-nitive, and behavioral components of the individual's psyche to provide psychological support to older people who are in difficult life circumstances due to forced self-isolation. The social effect of webinars is that the use of the information obtained will help to improve the psychological well-being of older people in conditions of forced self-isolation. Difficulties identified during the webinar cycle were identified. The ways of high-quality provision of webinars organization, attraction of the audience with the help of advertising posts and e-mail mailings are revealed

Validation of the Instagram Addiction Scale in Greek Youth

Instagram is one of the fastest growing social networking platforms. A body of evidence suggests that Instagram problematic use and addiction have negative effects on the psychological well-being of young people. The Instagram Addiction Scale, a self-report tool assessing Instagram problematic use and addiction, has been developed recently. The aim of the present study was to validate the Instagram Addiction Scale in the Greek language and to assess its psychometric properties. An online and on-print self-report survey was conducted among Greek youth, aged between 18 and 24 years. The survey included the Instagram Addiction Scale, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Big Five Inventory. A total of 967 respondents participated in the study. The analysis suggested that the Greek version of the Instagram Addiction Scale has good psychometric properties. The principal component factor analysis for construct validity generated two subscales as the original instrument: social effect and impulsion. Internal consistency for the two subscales and the scale’s total score was satisfactory, with Cronbach’s α at 0.76, 0.85 and 0.88, respectively. Correlation analyses revealed positive associations between the perceived stress scale and social effect, and the Instagram Addiction Scale’s total score (p<0.0001 and p=0.002 respectively). This is the first study validating the Instagram Addiction Scale in Greek youth, which can be used by researchers and practitioners for the evaluation of youth problematic use of Instagram.

Specific Features of Economic Mechanisms of Labour Safety Management

The article studies the impact of economic mechanisms of labour safety management on business activity of economic entities. Discounts to insurance tariffs allow employers to economize on insurance payments, while increments to them stimulate measures on labour safety to protect employees and production facilities. Methodology to calculate discounts and increments to insurance tariffs is provided, as well as economic benefit obtained as a result of conducting measures on labour safety. It is pointed out that ignoring obligatory measures on labour safety (special appraisal of working conditions and medical check-ups) are penalized by administrative fines, whose amounts are rather high. The article pays special attention to the necessity to conduct special appraisal of working conditions and medical check-ups. The positive side of insurance is an opportunity to finance the said measures at the expense of 20% insurance payments that were paid by the company in the previous year. The author explains that even with the negative economic effect special appraisals of working conditions and medical check-ups can provide positive economic and social effect, as their results can help develop and introduce preventive measures on labour safety.

CONDITIONS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PALEONTOLOGICAL DIRECTION OF GEOTURISM WITHIN THE NATURE NATURAL PARK "PODOLSKY TOVTRY"

The publication highlights the regional conditions for the development of geotouristic forms of using paleontological objects, the territory of the NPP "Podolski Tovtry" The need to introduce and develop specialized tourism products based on the paleontological resource base and regional conditions within the Podolskie Tovtry NPP is a reaction to the concentration of tourist groups within the natural park, as well as a noticeable decrease in interest in traditional sites. Paleontological Geotourism is a specialized area of activity that requires special training. Its forms of implementation are combined with traditional tourism products, the compactness and complexity of the placement of lithological formations makes it possible to implement sharply contrasting thematic approaches (sandy Neogene beach, Silurian coral reef, mammoth tundra), and locations within mined out pits or specially equipped nature conservation objects - ecological - educational influence combined with economic and social effect. The main conditions for the development of the direction on the territory of the natural park are the set of features of the lithological base and natural geomorphological, as well as economic objects that reveal paleontological locations. The analysis of the conditions of the transport and technical infrastructure, interaction with traditional forms of nature management, as well as tourist sites, which have long been included in the regional recreational complex, has been carried out. To experimentally confirm the regional efficiency of the paleogeotourism direction, the authors of the study selected three model sites that meet these criteria, carried out in cooperation with representatives of NPP "Podilski Tovtry" and the City Council of Kamianets-Podilskyi their primary infrastructure equipment, and equipped and the museum exposition was tested and the possibilities of conducting paleontological master classes were studied. Geotourism products have been developed and partially implemented in cooperation with interested tour operators. These aspects of the development of the paleontological direction of geotourism from the standpoint of regional conditions are a means of substantiating the regional strategy for the development of environmentally friendly forms of nature management within the NPP "Podilski Tovtry". They are aimed primarily at demonstrating the effectiveness of the research area and its compatibility with the already established traditional economic forms, which will solve the problems of access and use of paleontological objects and promote the participation of local communities and regional businesses in its implementation. Partial practical testing of the second results of regional conditions presented in the publication can become the basis of scientific discussion on the effectiveness of selected geotourism forms, their compliance with the conditions and accordingly adjust further scientific and applied research in this direction. Key words: geotourism, paleotours, Podilski Tovtry

MAIN APPROACHES TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF SOCIAL ENTERPRISES

Introduction. Social entrepreneurship is a relatively new phenomenon for world science. Scientists approach the systematization of knowledge in this field and the very definition of this term in different ways. And this, in turn, led to the existence of different approaches to the classification of social enterprises. A number of factors are due to the variety of classification features: a large number of social problems, the solution of which requires new methods of doing business; regulatory framework governing the activities of social enterprises; not a clear distinction between social entrepreneurship and charity, corporate social responsibility. A detailed classification of social enterprises will help identify enterprises that will best fit the essence of the model of social entrepreneurship. Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis for the study of the main directions of classification of social enterprises used in the world, were the works of domestic and foreign scientists on the features of the model of socially-oriented entrepreneurship. The article used general and special methods of scientific knowledge: system analysis and synthesis, deductive and inductive methods, methods of analogies, generalizations and comparisons. Results. The article examines different approaches to the classification of social entrepreneurship, which are based on the following criteria: the degree of integration of the social program and business processes; goals of activity and direction of profit use; mission, the availability of income from core activities and the availability of an innovative component; ways to create social enterprises; specifics of business organization. All social enterprises can be divided into those that provide social services to the population, and those who employ socially vulnerable groups of the population. Also, enterprises are divided into self-financing, partly self-financing and profitable, depending on the level of profitability of business entities and the size of the social effect created. Special attention is paid to the classification of social enterprises, which is used in the Catalog of social enterprises of Ukraine. The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in the theoretical substantiation and practical solution of the expediency of classification of socially-oriented enterprises in two directions: social and commercial. Discussion. Further research will focus on determining the level of compliance of the enterprise with its socially-oriented mission on the basis of the proposed classification. Keywords: the classification of social enterprises, social-oriented entrepreneurship, social effect.

Estimation of direct and social effects of feeding duration in growing pigs using records from automatic feeding stations

Automatic feeding systems in pig production allow for the recording of individual feeding behavior traits, which might be influenced by the social interactions among individuals. This study fitted mixed models to estimate the direct and social effects on visit duration at the feeder of group-housed pigs. The dataset included 74,413 records of each visit duration time (min) event at the automatic feeder from 135 pigs housed in 14 pens. The sequence of visits at the feeder was employed as a proxy for the social interaction between individuals. To estimate animal effects, the direct effect was apportioned to the animal feeding (feeding pig), and the social effect was apportioned to the animal that entered the feeder immediately after the feeding pig left the feeding station (follower). The data were divided into two subsets: “non-immediate replacement” time (NIRT, N = 6,256), where the follower pig occupied the feeder at least 600 s after the feeding pig left the feeder, and “immediate replacement” time (IRT, N = 58,255), where the elapsed time between replacements was less than or equal to 60 s. The marginal posterior distribution of the parameters was obtained by Bayesian method. Using the IRT subset, the posterior mean of the proportion of variance explained by the direct effect (Prpσ^d2) was 18% for all models. The proportion of variance explained by the follower social effect (Prpσ^f2) was 2%, and the residual variance (σ^e2) decreased, suggesting an improved model fit by including the follower effect. Fitting the models with the NIRT subset, the estimate of Prpσ^d2 was 20% but the Prpσ^f2 was almost zero and σ^e2 was identical for all models. For the IRT subset, the predicted best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP) of direct (Direct BLUP) and social (Follower BLUP) random effects on visit duration at the feeder of an animal was calculated. Feeder visit duration time was not correlated with traits, such as weight gain or average feed intake (P &gt; 0.05), whereas for the daily feeder occupation time, the estimated correlation was positive with the Direct BLUP (r^ = 0.51, P &lt; 0.05) and negative with the Follower BLUP (r^= −0.26, P &lt; 0.05). The results suggest that the visit duration of an animal at the single-space feeder was influenced by both direct and social effects when the replacement time between visits was less than 1 min. Finally, animals that spent a longer time per day at the feeder seemed to do so by shortening the meal length of the preceding individual at the feeder.
