<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> <i>Az Infinitum</i> &amp;ndash; <i>Azulejo Referencing and Indexation System</i> may be briefly defined as a work tool combining Art History’s traditional methods with the use of digital technologies, in order to create a system designed to document, catalogue and index all the tile decorations produced and applied in Portugal since the late 15<sup>th</sup> century and still found in their original locations. By highlighting the potentialities of <i>Az Infinitum</i> and by describing its data structure and the procedures used to collect and upload information, the present article proposes a reassessment of the project in light of these parameters, as well as a discussion of future developments. Moreover, it aims to clarify the link between the norms followed within the system and the ones used internationally. This link reflects the aim of integrating the system within previously developed structures, without losing sight of the specificities of a <i>hybrid</i> form of heritage, whose documentation must be adapted in different ways. Such a need has led to the development of specific data structures, designed to meet the unique characteristics of patterned tile decorations.</p>

In the course of the doctrinal research, the author addresses the causal complex that accompanies the pandemic and affects the state, dynamics and trends of crime. Developing the idea of substantive criminological study of pandemic COVID-19 through the prism of such main blocks as: factors of deviant behavior associated with the pandemic; the pandemic and the features of the infringing conduct; legislation of the pandemic law enforcement pandemic; pandemic and digital technologies in the prevention of criminal threats; the extent and source of the pandemic; mortality and pandemic. Attention is drawn to the fact that in the context of a pandemic, when the efficiency of statistical data collection by traditional methods is reduced, monitoring excess mortality is an auxiliary method for studying the pandemic and its latency level, which is especially important for identifying the facts of criminal deaths. Attention is drawn to the fact that the entry of COVID-19 as a cause of death in the medical death certificate must be for all those who have died from an infection that caused, presumably caused or contributed to death. However, the practice of encoding causes of death and recording deaths continues to differ, which hinders a true understanding of the scale of the pandemic and its mortality. It is emphasized that when establishing a linkbetween the source of the pandemic and the fault of specific individuals, all victims whose cause of death is linked to COVID-19 (direct or indirect) should be recognized as victims of crimes.

Traditional methods used in crop production lead to environmental pollution and producers incur unnecessary costs. The latest trends in the development of agriculture are directed towards precision farming. Tools for efficient and accurate farming are seen in the identification of remote sensing data and the use of spectral sensors that quickly determine the required indicators. For the development of this direction, it is necessary to accurately identify the spectral characteristics of weeds.

The article is devoted to quite relevant issues today, which are discussed at different levels of research in the field of management psychology, namely, the development of psychological profiling algorithms based on the analysis of activity in social networks, in order to solve organizational problems, in particular in order to solve problems HR sectors such as recruiting. The article, in a rather lapidary, but at the same time, sufficient form to represent a wide audience, shows that the relevance of this problem is due not only to objective prerequisites (development of digital technologies, insufficient, in modern conditions, the effectiveness of traditional methods of personnel assessment, etc. n.), but also by direct request of business representatives and top managers of large companies. The program of socio-psychological research is fully presented, which allows to identify and verify diagnostic criteria for creating a profile of labor motivation for candidates for vacant posts and employees of the organization, based on the analysis of accounts in social networks. Criteria and results of their preliminary verification are described.

The use of latent curve models (LCMs) has increased almost exponentially during the last decade. Oftentimes, researchers regard LCM as a “new” method to analyze change with little attention paid to the fact that the technique was originally introduced as an “alternative to standard repeated measures ANOVA and first-order auto-regressive methods” (Meredith & Tisak, 1990, p. 107). In the first part of the paper, this close relationship is reviewed, and it is demonstrated how “traditional” methods, such as the repeated measures ANOVA, and MANOVA, can be formulated as LCMs. Given that latent curve modeling is essentially a large-sample technique, compared to “traditional” finite-sample approaches, the second part of the paper addresses the question to what degree the more flexible LCMs can actually replace some of the older tests by means of a Monte-Carlo simulation. In addition, a structural equation modeling alternative to Mauchly’s (1940) test of sphericity is explored. Although “traditional” methods may be expressed as special cases of more general LCMs, we found the equivalence holds only asymptotically. For practical purposes, however, no approach always outperformed the other alternatives in terms of power and type I error, so the best method to be used depends on the situation. We provide detailed recommendations of when to use which method.

Data reporting the experience with an optical mark page reader is presented (IBM 1231Ν1). Information from 52,000 persons was gathered in seven countries, decentrally coded and centrally processed. Reader performance rates (i.e. sheets read per hour, sheet rejection rates, reading error rates) and costs (coding, verification, reading, etc.) are given.
