Summary: Pneumonia is a prevalent illness that has a global impact, primarily affecting children and older individuals. Timely identification is essential for immediate intervention, particularly in regions with restricted healthcare availability. The purpose of this paper is to compare how well two methods work for finding pneumonia on chest X-rays creating a custom Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and using a model that has been pre-trained, such as ResNet-50. The results indicated that although the customized CNN had difficulties achieving satisfactory performance, the ResNet-50 model demonstrated encouraging outcomes following the process of fine-tuning. This paper seeks to improve the detection of pneumonia, especially in disadvantaged places with limited medical resources, by utilizing modern technologies such as deep learning and pre-trained models. Considering the results gained to enhance patient outcomes and decrease mortality rates associated with pneumonia by enabling more precise and prompt detection, this has a beneficial effect on global public health
Summary: This work is dedicated to the impulsive Sturm - Liouville operator on the whole
axis with complex almost periodic potentials and the discontinuous coefficient
on the right – hand side. We investigated the main characteristics of the
fundamental solutions of the Sturm – Liouville equation. From the impulsive
condition we found the transfer matrix. Using the impulsive condition and
transfer matrix, we constructed Green’s function and obtained the resolvent of
the impulsive Sturm – Liouville operator. In future works, eigenvalues of the
impulsive Sturm - Liouville operator will be investigated. The inverse problem
will be formulated, a constructive procedure for the solution of the inverse
problem will be provided.
Summary: Artificial intelligence driven drone systems offer promising solutions for early detection and response to environmental hazards like wildfires and oil leaks. However, their widespread adoption raises significant ethical and environmental implications, including privacy infringements, algorithmic bias, data security, noise pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. This study addresses these issues through literature reviews, surveys of affected populations, and prototype testing of AI models for disaster identification, in order to mitigate ethical issues. A specific metric was developed to rate drone components and identify the most sustainable options, minimizing the environmental impact. By promoting these solutions, this research aims to ensure the sustainable and responsible integration of artificial intelligence systems in environmental monitoring, protecting ecosystems and communities effectively.
Summary: The paper considers a boundary value problem generated by a differential
diffusion equation and nonseparated boundary conditions. One of the boundary
conditions contains a quadratic function of the spectral parameter. The
multiplicity of eigenvalues of the boundary value problem under consideration is
investigated. A criterion for the multiplicity of eigenvalues and zeros of the
characteristic function of a boundary value problem is obtained.The found
necessary and sufficient conditions are expressed through the values of the
fundamental solutions of the diffusion equation and the coefficients of the
boundary conditions. Note that the results obtained can be used in the study of
direct and inverse problems of spectral analysis for various differential operators.
These results also play an important role in studying the structure of the
spectrum, in establishing the order of arrangement of eigenvalues of boundary
value problems, and in finding sufficient conditions for the reconstruction of the
corresponding problems.
Summary: In this article, the issue of controlling the movement of a hexacopter-type unman-ned aerial vehicle (UAV) along a route is investigated. The movement of the hexacopter is modeled as the movement of a rigid body, and in this process, the forces of gravity and aerodynamic resistance are taken into account. The spatial orientation of the hexacopter is expressed using quaternions. The movement route is considered as a broken line consisting of straight segments, and the parameters controlling its flight are determined when one of the hexacopter's motors is not working. Mathematical justification is provided for how the operational motors are controlled to continue the hexacopter's movement in its previous manner when one motor fails.
Summary: The paper examines different types of hypersingular integrals with the Cauchy kernel on a segment and a unit circle and defines them using specific methods. It presents more general definitions for one-dimensional hypersingular integrals with the Cauchy kernel based on Hadamard's integral in the sense of a finite part. The paper also establishes the existence theorems of these hypersingular integrals and formulas, which demonstrates the accuracy of the resulting integrals that are applied in various applications and engineering problem-solving. The proposed formulas are straightforward to calculate, making the new approximate method reliable and easy to apply and the obtained numerical results demonstrate the stability and efficiency of the approach.

Summary: Hydrogen technologies are rapidly penetrating all aspects of life, forming the basis of the Hydrogen Civilization
of the future.
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films are widely used in solar cells due to their advantageous
optical properties. Here are some key points about their optical characteristics:
1. Optical Band Gap: The optical band gap of a-Si:H can be tuned by adjusting the hydrogen content
during deposition. This allows for better absorption of sunlight and improved efficiency in solar
cells.
2. Refractive Index: The refractive index of these films is crucial for designing anti-reflective coatings,
which enhance the amount of light entering the solar cell.
3. Urbach Energy: This parameter indicates the width of the tail of localized states in the band gap.
Lower Urbach energy values are desirable as they signify fewer defects and better electronic
properties.
4. Absorption Coefficient: High absorption coefficients in the visible spectrum are essential for thinfilm
solar cells to absorb maximum sunlight with minimal material.
5. Hydrogen’s Role: Hydrogenation helps in passivating dangling bonds in the silicon network,
reducing defects and improving the material’s optical and electronic properties.
These properties make hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films a popular choice for cost-effective and
efficient solar cells.
Infrared (IR) absorption spectra are investigated hydrogenated amorphous solid solution films a-Si1-xGex: H (x
= 0 ÷ 1) plasma chemical vapor deposition at different partial pressures of hydrogen PH2. Defined force,
oscillator, which essentially depended on PH2. It is shown that the hydrogen contained in films mostly in the
forms of GeH, SiH. Using integrated acquisitions JW, determined the amount of hydrogen in the films. Film
properties depend on the composition and level of hydrogenation. The number of hydrogen atoms in films,
varied by changing the composition of the gas mixture. In the work measured IR absorption for films a-Si1-xGex:

Summary: Leaders can make significant contributions to the functioning of the firm, regardless of their time and position. Leadership with effective strategies can provide a fundamental foundation for the effective use of the strategic management process. Leaders who follow strategies can accelerate the growth of relevant strategic activities and determine how to implement them. These activities serve as a gateway to higher average results and strategic competitiveness. Managers working in various organizations are fully aware of the need to create a strategic plan for the future of their organizations and participate in the effective adoption of these well-planned plans. In strategic management, the leader assumes various roles. He/she creates the conditions for change. Secondly, he/she selects key players from the organization and in the third stage, he/she creates a leadership team by shaping the vision and strategy through a visionary process that breaks down the existing hierarchy and clarifies the strategy that the entire organization can understand.
Taking into consideration above mentioned facts, the article focuses on theoretical background of the topic. Scientific literature has been used in order to shred light into the topic.
