Published: July 2024

File-sharing activities become a bridge for communication in the form of data between one party and another party. File sharing allows users to share data with other users, by uploading data to the server computer and other users can download data from the server computer. A document security system is indispensable to keep document data safe until its destination. File Web Sharing will transmit data with cryptographic methodologies. The algorithm used is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Data Encryption Standard (DES), and Blowfish. This study aims to compare the performance of AES, DES, and Blowfish algorithms when implemented to secure file sharing. Performance research results show that the DES algorithm is on average 8.35% faster than AES and the Blowfish algorithm is 7.11% faster than AES. Memory usage capacity testing shows that the AES algorithm requires 4.82% greater memory capacity than Blowfish, and the DES requires 2.41% greater memory capacity than the Blowfish algorithm.

Authors: Ramadhani Adhitya Ryan , Halfan Ahmad
Published: July 2024

Several oil and gas distribution pipeline routes pass through a highly populated residential area. Risk assessment based on consequence analysis is being considered to determine the level of danger to improve safety. This paper focuses on modeling the consequences of gas transmission pipeline leakage by reviewing the impact of explosions and fires. The TNT method and fireball modeling determined the overpressure and heat-flux at each radius. Variations of release volume, radius, and pressure were conducted to obtain heat-flux and overpressure values in several event scenarios. Sensitivity analysis using numerical analysis was conducted to determine the most influential parameters. It was found that the radius of the accident point is the main factor affecting the resulting impact, with a contribution of 86.1% for the fire scenario and 64.5% for the explosion scenario. The explosion and fire modeling results show that the safe zone from the accident point is at a radius of more than 500 meters.

Published: July 2024

espl1 (extra spindle pole bodies like 1), a cysteine endopeptidase, is a mitotic key player in chromosomal segregation and centriole duplication during mitosis and meiosis. Considering the espl1 gene has not been reported in aquatic organisms, we reported the isolation and expression of the espl1 gene from loach. In this study, the full-length cDNA of espl1 was cloned for the first time in loach. In loach, the full-length cDNA of espl1 consisted of 6948 bp, the open reading frame (ORF) is 6240 bp, and the espl1 gene encodes 2139 amino acids. Moreover, the deduced amino acid sequences of espl1 in loach shared the highest identity with those of Cyprinus carpio (78.39%) and Sinocyclocheilus anshuiensis (78.27%), and the sequence homology among the various separases is confined to the C-terminal region. Furthermore, tissue-specific checking results indicated that the espl1 gene of the loach gene was highly expressed in the ovary and testis, especially in stage Ⅳ oocytes and stage Ⅳ testis by Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Then, whole-mount in situ hybridization analyses revealed the expression of espl1 in the early development of loach. We found that the positive signal of espl1 was observed in the notochord during the early embryo development of loach. Last but not least, when treated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog (LHRH-A2), the mRNA expression of espl1 was significantly increased in the testes and ovaries. These observations suggest that the espl1 gene had a distinct and important role in the gonads of Loach. This study will be of value for further studies into the function of the espl1 gene in fish.
DEVELOPMENT OF A DIRECT METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF THE DYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF A TRACKING ELECTRIC DRIVE
Authors: Okhotkin Grigory P.
Published: July 2024

The dynamic properties of single-circuit tracking electric drives (SEP) based on DC motors for aircraft steering systems have been studied. The maximum dynamic indicators can be provided by adjusting the structure of the tracking system, taking into account the control and disturbing influences.

The purpose of the study is to develop a direct method for the synthesis of a tracking electric drive, algorithms and programs for evaluating the dynamic properties of the system.

The scientific novelty consists in the development of analytical and machine direct methods for the synthesis of parameters of position regulators, taking into account the control and disturbing influences and a simulation model of the tracking system.

Materials and methods. Based on the analysis of dynamic processes, mathematical and simulation models of a single-circuit tracking system with proportional and proportional-integral position controllers, as well as virtual devices for machine synthesis and evaluation of dynamic properties of a tracking electric drive have been developed. The theory of differential equations, the theory of modeling and control were used in the work, operator methods of representing systems were used, calculations were performed in the LabVIEW programming environment.

The results of the study. Mathematical models and precise methods of synthesis of single-circuit tracking systems have been developed, allowing for the construction of the structure taking into account the control and disturbing influences. It is established that in a tracking system with a proportional position controller, the optimal transition process can be provided only by the control action, and in a system with a PI-position controller – by both effects.

The obtained method of synthesis of tracking systems can be used in the design of highly dynamic single-circuit tracking electric drives by industrial and design enterprises.

The presented method of synthesis of tracking electric drives, taking into account two influences, should be developed in the future for three-circuit and other tracking systems.

Conclusions. A tracking system with a PI-position controller allows for an optimal transition process through both control channels. The virtual device and the simulation model of the tracking system make it possible to significantly simplify and speed up the design process of tracking systems and avoid making erroneous decisions.

Authors: Mullakhmetov Rafael M. , Plotnikov Mikhail V. , Fomina Elena E. , Maksimov Aleksandr V.
Published: July 2024

Carotid endarterectomy is an effective method of primary and secondary prevention of acute cerebrovascular accident. However, surgical intervention is associated with a risk of acute cerebrovascular accident of up to 3% in asymptomatic and up to 6% in symptomatic patients, and in the long-term period after surgical treatment, there are risks of developing repeated stenoses in the reconstruction area. Object. To identify pathological ultrasound phenomena in the reconstruction area in the early and long-term period after carotid endarterectomy. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the data of 52 patients after carotid endarterectomy, in the environment of the Republican Clinical Hospital of Kazan for 2023, was carried out. The results of the surgical intervention were evaluated by color ultrasound duplex scanning on the MINDRAY Resona 7 device after 1-3 days, then 1, 3 and 6 months after the operation. Research results. 52 patients were enrolled in the study. Of these, 40 men (average age 66.9±1.3 years) and 12 women (average age 67.5±2.3 years). There were 26 (50%) symptomatic patients (who had suffered a transient ischemic attack or acute cerebrovascular accident less than 6 months ago). Complications in the form of transient ischemic attack or acute cerebrovascular accident in the perioperative, early postoperative and long-term periods were not recorded in any of the patients. Ultrasound examination revealed pathological phenomena in the reconstruction area in 22 (42.3%) patients. In the early postoperative period, detachment of the intima – media complex in the internal carotid artery was detected in 4 (7.7%) patients; in 6 (11.5%) patients, detachment of intima – media complex in the common carotid artery was recorded; in 7 (13.5%) patients the detachment of intima – media complex in the external carotid artery was recorded, in 6 (11.5%) cases the occlusion of external carotid artery was recorded. Floating hyperechoic structures in the reconstruction zone after 1–3 days were recorded in 8 patients (15.4%). In the long-term period, intimal hyperplasia of more than 2 mm was visualized in 18 (34.6%) patients. Conclusions. Ultrasound examination of the brachiocephalic arteries in the early postoperative period is necessary to identify pathological changes and floating structures as potential predictors of impaired cerebral circulation. Pathological ultrasound phenomena (detachment of the intima – media complex in the reconstruction zone, floating hyperechoic structures, occlusion of the external carotid artery) are recorded in 42.3% in the early postoperative period, and in the long-term period they can spontaneously regress. Their frequency for a period of 6 months is 15.4%. Improving the technique of surgical intervention, as well as the selection of drug therapy aimed at relieving the processes of hyperplasia, will help improve the results of treatment of patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries.

Published: July 2024

Over the past decades, there has been a steady increase in patients with nodular thyroid neoplasms. Multiparametric ultrasound examination plays a leading role at the stage of preoperative thyroid oncopathology diagnosis. The most difficult task is to choose the tactics in cases of detecting calcifications of focal thyroid formations during ultrasound examination. The aim of the study was to determine the value of the ultrasound sign "calcifications" in the differential diagnosis of thyroid oncopathology within the TI-RADS system. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the medical histories of 167 patients was performed, which were divided into two groups: group 1 – 60 patients with adenomas, group 2 – 60 patients with thyroid cancer. All patients underwent standard ultrasound examination of organs in the gray scale mode (B-mode) and color Doppler imaging mode. The TI-RADS system was used as a system for describing and processing thyroid ultrasound data. Correlation analysis was used to assess the diagnostic volatility of ultrasound signs of the TI-RADS system in detecting focal thyroid pathology. The accuracy of diagnostic tests was assessed using ROC-analysis (AUC). Research results. According to the retrospective analysis, 3 thyroid nodes (2.5%) were classified as TI-RADS2, 19 nodes (15.8%) were classified as TI-RADS3, 78 nodes (65.0%) were classified as TI–RADS4, and 20 nodes (16.7%) were classified as TI-RADS5. A correlation analysis of assessment of the diagnostic volatility of TI-RADS system ultrasound signs in detecting focal thyroid pathology showed the following. According to the scatter of Kendall's coefficient correlations, "macrocalcifications" were determined with a bias for the benign thyroid node (p = 0.039537). When evaluating "microcalcifications" sign (p-value = 0.020209), it was found that in terms of its significance in predicting oncological changes, it was second only to the shape change parameter ("height > width"). Based on the ROC analysis (AUC), it was found that the sign "calcification" ("microcalcifications" + "macrocalcifications") can be considered to be a test of good quality (AUC = 0.783±0.0387, 95% CI = 0.711–0.894). Conclusions. The presence of calcifications both in benign nodules and in thyroid tumors of varying malignancy degrees forces to use a more balanced approach to interpreting this sign of improvement in the differential diagnosis of focal thyroid formations.
IMMUNOMODULATORY PROPERTIES OF GLYCYRRHIZINIC ACID IN A MODEL OF CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE-INDUCED TOXICITY AND IMMUNOSUPPRESSION
Authors: Danilova Irina M. , Pavlova Svetlana I. , Khobrakova Valentina B.
Published: July 2024

Triterpenoid glycyrrhizic acid, which is part of licorice root extract, has a wide range of biological effects. It was previously revealed that due to glycyrrhizic acid the extract increases the survival rate of animals against the background of cyclophosphamide-induced toxicosis. Since cytostatics cause a wide range of side effects, including pronounced suppression of the immune system, further investigation of glycyrrhizic acid's effect on immunity is of interest. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of glycyrrhizic acid on the immune response in vitro and in experimental animals against the background of cyclophosphamide administration. Materials and methods. The study was carried out in vitro on mice splenocyte culture, as well as on models of cyclophosphamide-induced toxicity and immunosuppression using cyclophosphamide at the dose of 450 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg. The survival rate of animals, the morphological presentation of splenocytes, the content of acid phosphatase, the state of cellular and humoral immunity and phagocytic activity were evaluated. Research results. Glycyrrhizic acid did not inhibit proliferation of mitogen-activated lymphocytes. Administration of glycyrrhizic acid was found to improve the morphological presentation of the spleen by virtue of increasing the size of lymphoid follicles and reducing foci of necrosis against the background of cyclophosphamide-induced toxicosis and to reduce the amount of acid phosphatase. Against the background of cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression, administration of glycyrrhizic acid increases the index of delayed hypersensitivity reaction, increases the number of antibody-forming cells compared with the control, improves the phagocytic activity. Conclusions. Glycyrrhizic acid improves the indices of the immune response both in vitro and in modeling cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression in laboratory animals. Glycyrrhizic acid improves the morphological presentation of the spleen, as well as enhances cellular, humoral immunity, the phagocytic response against the background of cyclophosphamide administration.

Published: July 2024

Archival and graphic materials on courtyard outbuildings of wooden houses in the city of Vologda have been collected and systematized for the first time. The building types are listed in tables according to the purpose of the building, its design, and architectural features. The research methodology is based on an on-site survey of adjacent areas, a comprehensive analysis and structural systematization of the survey results, and includes archival and historical-bibliographic investigation. The number of outbuildings and their type is shown to depend on the owner’s social state using the example of three estates that belonged to nobility, merchants, and multiple tenants. Archival information and surviving historical photographs were used for making graphic reconstructions of these adjacent areas for the mid-19th – early 20th century. The article shows the specifics of the architectural elements employed in the entrance groups (gates and fence doors) of private wooden housing in the city of Vologda.

Design thinking: in the labyrinth of the concept
Authors: Kuzmina Anastasia A. ,   Ural State University of Architecture and Art., Pavlovskaya Elena E. ,   Ural State University of Architecture and Art
Published: July 2024

The article presents a critical analysis of the most common approaches to defining the concept of «design thinking» in Russian-language publications: a creative rather than analytical method for solving any problems; focus on the interests of the end user, innovation development strategy. However, in the context of the growing popularity of the term «design thinking», it is being blurred and devalued, which negatively affects the attitude towards design itself: design thinking, positioned as a publicly accessible activity, leads to a simplified understanding of the essence of design activity, this methodology and, often, its amateurish use.

Published: July 2024

Major regional centers of Russia, including Novosibirsk, have now reached the stage of high-rise construction. The formation of high-rise dominants requires an integrated approach, taking into account urban planning and architectural and artistic aspects. To solve this task, it is necessary to identify a model for the formation of high-rise buildings, referring, among other things, to historical experience. A well-known example of an integrated approach to high-rise construction is the «Stalin’s skyscrapers» in Moscow. Studying the experience of the 1950s and adapting it to modern conditions may be of interest to modern architectural practice.
Boiserie in St. Petersburg interiors: 18th to early 20th century
Authors: Khoustek Valeria V. ,   A.I. Herzen State Pedagogical University, Blinova Yelena K. ,   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia; I. Repin Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture
Published: July 2024

The article explores boiserie as a method of decorating interiors with a system of wooden elements. Complexities in the descriptions of interiors made “in wood” by art historians are largely due to the contradictions that arise in the process of borrowing terminology from carpentry and to the lack of a generalized specialized research work on wooden interior decoration. The purpose of the article is to clarify the terminology for describing interiors “in wood”. Much attention is paid to the peculiarities of the interaction of boiserie elements between each other and with architecture. The study involved a review of dictionaries, art history literature, and publications on carpentry and cabinetmaking. Analogies are drawn between terms and real objects; a table of terminological equivalents is compiled in four languages. The thesaurus approach and the method of comparative analysis of textual and illustrative sources helped to supplement the contents of the terms “lambris” and “boiserie”. As a result, a generalized typology of boiserie is proposed, with the characteristics of the panels assigned to it. In conclusion, the use of boiserie as an artistic technique for interior design contributes to the formation of a special architectural image of space.

Analytical approach and graphic reconstruction as a fundamental element in educational drawing for the training of restoration architects
Authors: Yurkevich Vasilina M. ,   Saint-Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering
Published: July 2024

The article considers a new approach to student work on a semester assignment in the discipline "Drawing and Painting" at the Faculty of Architecture at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU). A review of student works revealed that students often lack spatial vision and the ability to identify valuable elements of the architectural and urban environment. We therefore suggest adding a new mandatory item, "object research", to the common algorithm of assignment completion, by analogy with the research phase in architectural design. The new algorithm has been described and tested on students when doing an assignment under the theme "Urban Landscape". Student works performed by the new and previous approach have been compared. The description of the algorithm outlines the specifics of working on an architectural drawing as a phase that precedes and lays the foundation for professional design activities. By way of piloting the results of this study, the new algorithm for working on semester assignments has been introduced into the course program for practical training of architects or restorers at the Department of Drawing of SPbGASU.

This research investigates the use of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and machine learning techniques to analyze financial statements (FSs) of pharmaceutical companies. The study focuses on three major Indonesian pharmaceutical companies: Kimia Farma, Kalbe Farma, and IndoFarma. By leveraging EDA, this study aims to uncover hidden patterns and insights within financial data, such as earnings per share (EPS), return on capital employed (ROCE), net profit margin, and inventory turnover ratio. Additionally, the study employs machine learning models, including Linear Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Decision Tree, to predict financial performance metrics and trends. The performance of these models is evaluated using metrics such as Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Among the models tested, the Decision Tree model demonstrated the highest performance, indicating high accuracy and a strong fit to the data. These results highlight the potential of data-driven approaches in improving the operational efficiency and financial stability of healthcare organizations.
