    The main sets of symbols of Russia in the visual media culture of Japan are formed in the XX century. This period was saturated with military conflicts and under the conditions of a bipolar political system; reactionary images with noticeable militaristic influence were formed. This study was performed on the materials of visual media culture in Japan, sources such as anime and manga were studied, in which a high concentration of Russian images is observed. During the study of these sources, a complex of several hundred visual and verbal images of Russia was identified, which seems to be a unique phenomenon. Since such an interest in the country-opponent in foreign policy issues is nowhere else observed. The purpose of this study is to identify markers that denote the space of Russian images in individual visual sources and determine their place in the media culture as a whole. Accordingly, the main objective of the study became the development of methods based on approaches of Digital Humanities and Visual Studies. This study allows us to determine the most economically viable images of Russia in the Japanese media industry and makes it possible to use the results of the research in Russia’s state image by stimulating Japan’s visual media culture sector for representation the most auspicious images

Yashchenko - MD, Professor, Department of Histology, Cytology and Embryology, Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University, Lviv, Ukraine. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8422-5834 Abstract Spinal pathologies today occupy a leading position in the rankings of diseases with a high degree of disability of patients, translating the problem into the category of medical and social. Cervical lesions are one of the most common manifestations of spinal pathology, and cervical osteochondrosis ranks second after lumbar. Literature sources indicate that today spinal pathologies have a pronounced tendency to rejuvenate. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of pathological lesions of the cervical spine among adolescents in a randomized sample according to computed tomography. 100 series of anonymized computed tomograms of young people (18-21 years old) were processed. The examination was performed on the TSX-101A Aquilion 16. According to the analysis, only 22% of the examined young people do not have pathological changes in the study area. Changes in intervertebral discs in the form of protrusions of different localization were found in 51% of the examined persons, in 23% - intervertebral hernias. The high frequency of pathological lesions of the cervical spine indicates the need to identify the causes of their occurrence, as well as the development and application of effective preventive measures. Key words: cervical spine; adolescence; computed tomography

    THE EMERGENCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE THEORY OF SCIENTIFIC CRITICISM IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF REPRESENTATIVES OF RUSSIAN COOPERATION INTEGRATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF LAW AT THE BEGINNING OF XX S.

    The article considers the formation of the foundations of scientific criticism in the environment of collaboration of prominent representatives of Russian legal thought. The author pays attention to the problem of perception of elements of theoretical positions of representatives of the Russian integrativism against the background of the analysis of the reasons of the theoretical difficulties of integrativists influencing incompleteness of their project and consideration of the leading themes of methodological discussions of B. A. kistyakovsky, N. I. Palienko, A. S. Yashchenko with G. Kelzenym, R. Shtammler. The scientific literature devoted to the content of the basic problems of scientific criticism in relation to the General theoretical constructions of integrativists is analyzed and the conclusion is made about the significant contribution of representatives of integrative law understanding to the development of domestic and foreign legal science

    Demonstrator of the Belle II Online Tracking and Pixel Data Reduction on the High Level Trigger System

    We present a computer-farm based data reduction system for the pixel detector of the future Belle II experiment. Belle II is a major upgrade of the Belle detector that is currently ongoing in KEK (Tsukuba, Japan). Belle II will collect data from SuperKEKB, an asymmetric e+e collider whose target luminosity (81035 Hz=cm2) is a factor 40 larger than the present world record held by its predecessor KEKB. The higher trigger rate (10 kHz) and worse background conditions (3% average occupancy on the pixel sensors) are a major challenge for both the detectors and the Data Acquisition System (DAQ), in particular for the inner part of the Belle II tracking system that consists of two cylindrical layers of DEPFET pixels sensors (PXD) placed just outside the beam pipe and very close to the Interaction Point (IP). The long integration times of the PXD together with the high background rate expected from pair production occurring at the IP will lead to a large amount of data (more than 20 GB/s) that must be reduced by at least a factor 10 to satisfy the constraints coming from the available storage space and bandwidth. A large amount of the background hits can be rejected by defining a set of Region Of Interest (ROI) on the PXD sensors and then recording just the data from the pixels inside the ROI. The ROIs are defined on an event by event basis by extrapolating back onto the PXD the charged tracks detected in the outer silicon tracker (a 4 layer double-sided silicon strip detector) and reconstructed online in real time. A demonstrator of this architecture was under beam test earlier this year in DESY (Hamburg, Germany). The demonstrator was operated in an electron beam whose momentum was in the 2 - 6 GeV/c range with a typical trigger rate of a few kHz in a magnetic field of strength up to 1T. The demonstrator consists of one PXD sensor and 4 SVD sensors arranged in a 5 layers configuration mimicking the Belle II vertex detector. The detector readout was a scaled down version of the full Belle II DAQ + High Level Trigger (HLT) chain. The demonstrator was used to detect the particles, reconstruct in real time the trajectories, identify the ROIs on the PXD plane and record the PXD data within. In this contribution, we describe the requirements and the architecture of the final system together with the results obtained with the demonstrator

    У статті досліджено особливості впровадження штучного інтелекту в маркетингові стратегії як чинника трансформації комунікаційної архітектоніки взаємодії з цільовими аудиторіями. Обґрунтовано, що когнітивні алгоритми штучного інтелекту сприяють створенню високорелевантного персоналізованого контенту, який забезпечує імітацію емоційної автентичності та індивідуалізованої ціннісної пропозиції. Встановлено, що надмірна алгоритмізація комунікацій породжує ризики ерозії довіри, гіпертрофії адаптивності та втрати когнітивної самоідентифікації брендів. Досліджено методологічні підходи до формування етично орієнтованих стратегій цифрової персоналізації на основі адаптивної сегментації та поведінкових патернів. Визначено формулу «тихого маркетингу» як концепт багаторівневої інтеграції штучного інтелекту у комунікаційний цикл за принципом ненав’язливої цінності, що поєднує контекстуальну релевантність, психологічну нейтральність та мінімізацію перешкод для споживчої ідентифікації. Сформовано механізм інтеграції штучного інтелекту у маркетингові стратегії підприємств.The purpose of the article is to study the transformational potential of artificial intelligence in the marketing strategies of enterprises through the prism of personalization of communications and identifying the risks of losing brand authenticity in the context of algorithmic interaction with the consumer. The research methodology involves the broad use of an interdisciplinary approach to ensure a functional combination of cognitive marketing tools, emotional analytics, digital communications, and neuro economics. The study uses content analysis of marketing cases with the implementation of artificial intelligence, a comparative assessment of the level of personalization and authenticity of communications, as well as abstract modeling of brand identity disintegration risks. A qualitative interpretation of the effectiveness of using generative artificial intelligence algorithms in building silent marketing and ethical targeting strategies is carried out. The article explores the features of implementing artificial intelligence into marketing strategies as a factor in transforming the communication architecture of interaction with target audiences. It is substantiated that cognitive algorithms of artificial intelligence contribute to the creation of highly relevant personalized content that provides imitation of emotional authenticity and an individualized value proposition. It is established that excessive algorithmization of communications creates risks of erosion of trust, hypertrophy of adaptability and loss of cognitive self-identity of brands. Methodological approaches to the formation of ethically oriented digital personalization strategies based on adaptive segmentation and behavioral patterns are analyzed. The formula of “silent marketing” is defined as a concept of multi-level integration of artificial intelligence into the communication cycle according to the principle of unobtrusive value, which combines contextual relevance, psychological neutrality and minimization of obstacles to consumer identification. A mechanism for integrating artificial intelligence into the marketing strategies of enterprises has been formed.sed in the activities of insurance companies, national regulators, and self-regulatory organizations
