The concept of gender equality in Kyrgyzstan began its activity from the moment the Declaration of Sovereignty was adopted, i.e., since 1991, when the Kyrgyz SSR became the independent Kyrgyz Republic. Yes, the Soviet Union paid attention to gender issues, but still there was no equality. This article is devoted to the consideration and analysis of issues of gender equality in the electoral system in Kyrgyzstan on the example of the Jogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic in the period from 1991 to 2021. Also, the last parliamentary elections that took place on November 28, 2021 in accordance with the new edition of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic were also considered and a brief political analysis is made with brief relevant conclusions.

Published: February 2024

The purpose of the article is to review the features of mortgage loans issued under public housing programs and develop proposals for revising the conditions and components of the proposed housing financial products in order to increase their affordability. The research was conducted on the history of the implementation of housing programs and the measures taken to revise conditions. It was determined that the main direction of the reforms was and remains the size of the interest rate, which has reached a historical minimum of 6% per annum, as a result of which its further reduction is difficult to achieve and therefore why there is expediency and a need to develop new ideas and ways to ensure that citizens receive preferential financing. The proposed results of the article can serve as a structural basis for the preparation of emerging reforms in the field of housing finance in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Currently, while civil society and state institutions of Kyrgyzstan undertake social initiatives on gender equality promotion and gender discrimination elimination, an interesting social phenomenon is observed – a part of society does not take it seriously and does not apply gender equality principles in practice and in everyday life. Moreover, sometimes, on the contrary, the local population negatively responds to this issue. This is due to several factors that have not appeared recently, but have been consolidated over the years. This article highlights these factors according to the empirical observations of the authors and their conclusions that could be applied by civil sector and governmental programs to improve effectiveness of future social initiatives and projects for elimination of gender discrimination.

The article deals with the issue of the transformation of masculinity, expressed in the problems of the evolution of marriage and family relations. According to the author, the traditional male and female roles in the family are gradually being erased, both in the private life of people and in the spaces of society. In the conditions of modern realities, often and more openly, new models of family and marriage relationships are gradually emerging. The evolution of gender relationships is becoming less traditional and less predictable, different from previously common patterns of behavior. At the same time, the modern society of Kyrgyzstan continues to be masculine-oriented, and the traditionally established patriarchal foundations still dominate in the Kyrgyz culture.

CONSTRUCTION OF A SOLUTION TO A SYSTEM OF QUASILINEAR EQUATIONS BY THE METHOD OF SIMPLE ITERATION
Authors:   Issyk-Kul State University named after K. K.Tynystanov, Bapa kyzy Ainura
Published: February 2024

This article considers the problem of constructing a solution to a system of quasilinear algebraic equations by the method of simple iteration. The method of simple iteration refers to the type of successive approximations. This method is characterized by the fact that when finding the unknowns in the kth approximation, the values of the unknowns found in the (k-1)-approximation are substituted into the right parts of the initial equations. Attention is paid to the analysis of the iterative process from the point of view of convergence, the region of existence of solutions, as well as the estimation of the error between approximations and the exact solution. As an example, the problem of reducing a system of quasi-linear differential equations with a small parameter to a system of quasi-linear algebraic equations is considered.

Mass Media and Journalism Education in India
Authors: Ershov Yuri
Published: February 2024

The research analyzed the originality of the Indian media system and the peculiarities of journalism education in India. The importance of the subject of research is connected both with the growing role of India, the most populous country in the world, and with its huge economic potential. The foreign economic reorientation of Russia towards Asian countries opens up new opportunities for international partnership in the field of vocational education. To do this, it is important to understand what the system of journalism education is in India, which educational centers offer journalism training, and what are the competitive differences between the departments of journalism in this country. The socio-demographic characteristics of India, where half of the population (over 700 million) are under 30 years old, are most directly related to the dominant media practices and to the quantitative parameters of the media system. Another important factor influencing the state of the Indian media is the multilingualism and basic English spoken by millions of Hindus, which, along with Hindi, remains the official lingua franca. The third systemic factor revealed in the discussion of the problems of mass media and journalism education, is the country's recent history and anti-colonial thinking, which is generated by the opposition of «metropolis» — «outskirts of the empire». Analyzing the multi-level structure of higher education in India and the nature of the curricula at the schools of journalism, we are coming to the conclusion about the strategic benefits of cooperation with this country.

Authors: Fernández Díaz Manuel , Robles Moral Francisco Javier , Ayuso Fernández Gabriel Enrique
Published: February 2024

La actual crisis ambiental que atraviesa el planeta tiene en la pérdida de la biodiversidad una de sus peores caras. Para paliar los efectos negativos de esta pérdida, que afecta a las especies, a los servicios ecosistémicos y por tanto también a los seres humanos, se implementan distintas estrategias de conservación, entre ellas se cuentan los Espacios Naturales Protegidos (ENP). Además, la educación debe entenderse como otra herramienta fundamental para la conservación de la biodiversidad. El objetivo de la presente investigación es conocer cómo perciben los futuros docentes de Educación Primaria los ENP como recurso educativo. Para ello se plantea una encuesta dirigida al alumnado del último curso del Grado en Educación Primaria. Entre los resultados se observa un marcado desconocimiento, a efectos prácticos de los ENP, y una percepción de estas áreas como lugares para actividades de concienciación ambiental, no percibiéndose en su totalidad el potencial para la alfabetización científica. Concluimos relacionando los déficits de conocimiento científico y conocimiento didáctico del futuro profesorado de Primaria en esta materia medioambiental, lo que nos conduce a replantear diferentes aspectos de ambas formaciones en los estudios del Grado.

A Novel Detector of Atypical Beats for Early Diagnosis of Heart Diseases Based on the Stacked Beats Representation of 12-lead ECG
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Kurmyshev Evgueny , Galeana-Pérez Deysy ,   Universidad de Guadalajara
Published: February 2024

We have developed and present in this work a series of algorithms that present a long-duration electrocardiogram (ECG) in a compact form of stacked beats, extracting and visualizing the basic features and facilitating the tedious and time-consuming process of ECG analysis for cardiologists. The expert system based on this representation provides detection of atypical heartbeats, precursors of cardiovascular disease, and their locations in each of the 12 leads. This system was extensively tested with two public databases, MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and China Physiological Signal Challenge (CPSC2018), showing its rapid ECG processing and high efficiency in detecting abnormalities in beat morphology. In particular, tests for atypical beats based on the CPSC2018 database revealed that the set of ECGs marked as normal contains a considerable number of leads with atypical beats. The system is used as a classifier into two classes, normal beats, and atypical beats, the latter being the precursors or indicators of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It is considered potentially useful for routine studies in groups at high risk of CVD in early stages, as a preventive medicine tool in the public health area. The system allows an intervention of a cardiologist in the intermediate stages of ECG analysis to corroborate the diagnosis in ambiguous cases.

Published: February 2024

Using traditional FMECA to analyze the hazard of subway sliding plug door system, there are problems such as easy-to-take repetitive values, irrational allocation of expert's weights, and failure to consider the weights of evaluation factors. Hence, this paper proposes to improve FMECA by using linear interpolation to increase the differentiation of the same fault probability occurrence among various fault modes. Apply the DUOWA to dynamically assign weights to different experts. The AHP is used to endow weights to diverse evaluation factors to make them more suitable for engineering needs. The operation records of metro trains were collected from the Shanghai subway manufacturing plant for 1836 days. The hazards of the 17 common faults of the door were first analyzed using an improved FMECA,the EDCU is the component most prone to failure. Next, use a RCM strategy to determine maintenance periods for different faults. Finally, through the Weibull distribution fitting test, the fault rate function of the door is obtained, and the RUL of the door is predicted.

Authors: Zhang Ziling , Lv Xiaodong , Qi Baobao , Qi Yin , Zhang Milu , Tao Zhiqiang
Published: February 2024

Surface roughness is influenced by various factors with uncertainty characteristics, and roughness reliability can be used for the assessment of the surface quality of CNC milling. The paper develops a method for the assessment of surface quality by considering the coupling effect and uncertainty characteristic of various factors. According to the milling kinematics theory, the milling surface topography simulation was conducted by discretizing the cutting edge, machining time, and workpiece. Considering the coupling effect of various factors, a roughness prediction model is established by the SSA-LSSVM, and its prediction accuracy reaches more than 95%. Then, the roughness reliability model was developed by applying the response surface methodology to achieve the assessment of surface quality. The proposed method is verified by the milling experiments. The maximum values of the relative errors between the simulation and experimental results of the surface roughness and roughness reliability are 9% and 1.5% respectively, indicating the correctness of the method proposed in the paper.

Published: February 2024

The article presents sandwich panels subjected to blast wave impact and accelerated fragments. The research discusses results obtained from original experimental setups that fill a gap in the area of investigation of the mechanical response of sandwich panels used in civil engineering applications under accidental design situations such as blast wave impact and/or fragment penetration. In field experiments, a high-speed camera was used to record both the fragment trajectory and the deflection of the sandwich panel. The authors proposed the equivalent static load for both the global analysis of the sandwich panel and the calibration of the numerical model. In FE modelling, CONWEP algorithm was used to simulate blast wave impact, and ductile damage model material to allow perforation of the sandwich panel faces. The convergence of mesh size was analyzed. For the validated numerical model, an evaluation of the effect of the size of the fragment (diameter/mass) on the outlet velocity and the size of the inlet and outlet holes was carried out.

“THE GREAT RESET”: THE ROAD TO THE PEACEFUL “NEW WORLD” OR A NEW GLOBAL WAR?
Authors:   Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, Ukraine, VLASOVA Tetiana , LITMAN Maksym ,   Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, Ukraine
Published: February 2024

The review deals with two books, which have caused much debate all over the world, the two authors who are much spoken about – with respect and disrespect, with recognition and contempt. “COVID-19: The Great Reset” by K. Schwab and T. Malleret claims that there has been nothing like COVID-19 in the modern history and points out that this kind of an existential crisis can facilitate introspection that leads to transformations. The supposed transformations are investigated by the authors both in macro categories and micro terms. The world is claimed to enter the chaotic crisis leading to the state of “uncertainty”. As a result, no extraordinary scenario can be excluded concerning geopolitical reset, ecological reset, technological reset and micro transformations with the individual reset. K. Schwab’s opponent, A. Jones, in his “Great Reset and the War for the World” proves that Schwab’s Great Reset represents the global elite’s intention of conspiracy in enslaving humanity both on the macro and micro levels. A. Jones is sure that K. Schwab’s strategy is to use the Great Reset for achieving an unprecedented control over the global problems and individuals’ lives. K. Schwab’s and A. Jones’ opposing arguments are interesting and persuasive. They both have many supporters and opponents of their theses all over the world.
LEXICAL-SEMANTIC AND STYLISTIC FEATURES OF THE COVERAGE OF SINO-TAIWAN RELATIONS IN AMERICAN PUBLICISTICS (FROM 2021 TO 2023)
Authors:   Zaporizhzhia National University, Ukraine, VEREMCHUK Eldar , TKACHUK Taras ,   Zaporizhzhia National University, Ukraine
Published: February 2024

The scientific work aims to characterise the lexical-semantic and stylistic features of coverage of the current state of Sino-Taiwanese relations in the American press. The research material consists of articles taken from such newspapers as The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Newsweek magazine and publications of the CNN news agency. Methods of the research: contextual analysis (for the most objective characterization of linguistic features of publicistics in the United States); lexical-semantic analysis (an overview of the general position of the authors of newspaper articles regarding the “Taiwanese problem”, to identify and analyze comparisons and antitheses as common stylistic devices in the press); interpretive method (to form the authors’ assessment of the factors that determined the use of certain lexical constructions according to certain aspects of recent Sino-Taiwanese relations). Scientific novelty: for the first time, the authors have carried out a lexico-semantic analysis of Sino-Taiwanese relations based on English-language British and American publicistics regarding the current geopolitical challenges. Conclusions. Idioms in coverage of the “Taiwanese problem” are primarily used to indicate the role of the USA and China in East Asia, as well as to compare the situation around Taiwan with Russia’s attack on Ukraine. The basic idea is Washington’s consideration of the “Taiwanese problem” as a potential bridgehead for a possible confrontation between the two “superpowers”. As for stylistic features, the analysis enabled the researchers to separate numerous epithets, comparisons, antitheses, metaphors and establish their prevalence in the coverage of Sino-Taiwanese relations, as well as personifications, tautologies, and irony, used by the authors of publications less often.
TEMPORAL SYSTEM SPECIFICS OF THE ODESSA COPY OF THE «SMALL CATECHISM» BY THEODORE THE STUDITE
Authors:   Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University, Odesa, Ukraine, STOIANOVA Daryna
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to studying the specifics of the functioning of the future tense as an important component of the Bulgarian temporal system in the era of the Bulgarian Proto-Renaissance. The research object is an 18th century copy of the «Small Catechism» written by Theodore the Studite, which is a part of the manuscript no.1/154 from the Hryhorovych’s collection kept in the Odesa National Scientific Library. The primary method used for researching the history of languages – the comparative-historical method, is employed here. The involvement of the internal reconstruction approach makes it possible to determine the internal regularities of the development of the Bulgarian language that are valid beyond a particular time. The New Bulgarian monuments, dating to the XVII–XVIII century, from the Odesa manuscript collection are yet not sufficiently described and require careful and in-depth research, that proves the expediency of carrying out this analysis. Furthermore, studying the written monuments of the New Bulgarian period helps to supplement the knowledge about the development of the future tense, and the transformation of its forms, some specific stages of which remain undisclosed. The paper analyzes the forms of the future tense recorded in the text (both simple and compound), characterizes their structural, grammatical and functional particularities, and compares them with other manuscripts of the same period. The article pays special attention to the fact that contrary to the general tendency of using the auxiliary verb щетъ and da-constructions or the abbreviated infinitive as components of future tense forms, the main elements of the forms in the studied manuscript are хотэти and infinitive. The use of combinations б©д© + infinitive as a future tense form, which is not typical for the Bulgarian language history, is fixed. The analysis presented here highlights the regular use of simple future tense forms in subordinate clauses and ascertains their sporadic use in principle ones. Additionally, it notes the special impact of the archaic Middle Bulgarian written tradition and Church Slavonic language of the Eastern redaction on the formation of future tense form in the manuscript.
Gauging Size Resolved Ambient Particulate Matter Concentration Solely Using Biometric Observations: A Machine Learning and Causal Approach
Authors: Lary David
Published: February 2024

Human physiology responds to external environmental stimuli across different time scales. Long-term exposure to heat, air pollution, and volatile organic compounds has documented adverse effects on human health. Our previous work established that autonomic responses of the human body, collected from biometric sensors on a single subject, can successfully empirically model the concentration of particulate matter (PM) in the surrounding microenvironment. In this study, we demonstrate that this relationship holds across multiple observations involving multiple participants. Each subject rode a stationary bike outdoors while adorned with various biometric sensors, and the im- mediate environment around the subject was also captured through an array of environmental sensors. With additional data, Machine Learning (ML) models were able to predict PM concentrations (PM 2.5 at = 0.97) with only a handful of easily accessible biometric fea- tures, such as skin temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate. The causal perspective explored highlights the importance of physiological responses as indicators of exposure to particulate matter, providing a basis for the use of biometric data in environmental health surveillance and real-time pollution assessment.

We study the mechanisms оf dynamical transitions accompanied by intermittent behavior in thе quasiperiodically forced Henon map. In terms оf rational approximations, we show that the intermittent transition from smooth attracting invariant curve to а strange nonchaotic attractor occurs via phase-dependent saddle-node bifurcation between the invariant curve and а new kind оf invariant «ring-shaped» unstable (saddle) set. We also investigate the mechanisms of interior and basin-boundary crises occurring to thе strange nonchaotic and chaotic attractors in the model system. It is shown that а collision of the strange nonchaotic attractor or chaotic attractor with the ring-shaped unstable set may cause аn interior оr basin-boundary crisis, depending upon the present structure of the basin оf the attractor.

Wе present аn analytical description of the distribution оf diagonal lines in Recurrence Plots for white noise аnd chaotic systems, and find that thе latter one is linked to the correlation entropy. Further ме identify two scaling regions in the distribution оf diagonals for oscillatory chaotic systems that are hinged to two prediction horizons and to the geometry of the attractor. These scaling regions cannot be observed with the Grassberger-Procaccia algorithm. Finally, we propose methods to estimate dynamical invariants from RPs.

We develop the method for the estimation оf the parameters оf time-delay systems from time series. The method is based on the statistical analysis of time intervals between extrema in the time series and the projection of the infinite-dimensional phase space оf а time-delay system to suitably chosen low-dimensional subspaces. We verify our method by using it for the reconstruction оf different time-delay differential equations from their chaotic solutions.

Classical notion of synchronization, introduced originally for periodical self-sustained oscillators, can be extended to stochastic systems. This can be done even in the case when the characteristic times of a system are fully controlled by noise. Stochastic synchronization is then defined by imposing certain conditions to various statistical measures of the process. We teview various approaches to stochastic synchronization and apply them to study synchronization in the electrosensory system of paddlefish.
Exploring Thermoelectric Properties in Emergent Carbon Materials

Published: February 2024

Since the graphene synthesis several theoretically predicted carbon based materials have become on the spot of experimental factories. Novel compounds were explored creating a family of graphene allotropes, such as graphynes, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), and more recently biphenylene and its derivatives. Each family has its own particularity with possible applications. Here, the Landauer method with Green’s function formalism was used within a Tight-Binding model to obtain electronic properties of such materials. The main results for the thermoelectric coefficients of such materials indicate a high potential application in nanoscopic devices to store/produce energy.

The duration of utilization of bridges leads to its aging and therefore to the loss of some of their characteristics. Hence, the importance of specialized auscultation so that they can perform their function during the lifetime assigned to them. The safety of these bridges must also be ensured in view of the increase in the load of the heavy goods vehicles actually travelling and passing through them. The aim of this research is to study the influence of the utilization of the Algerian and the European regulatory codes on the diagnosis of the pathologies of reinforced concrete frame bridges. To achieve this goal, a frame bridge of total length of 37.2 m, located in the wilaya of Tiaret in Algeria, is expertized. It consists of two parts, one cast on site and the other prefabricated in reinforced concrete; it is classified of low seismicity and as an important bridge according to the Algerian seismic regulation. A diagnosis of the condition of the bridge was carried out on the basis of a preliminary visual inspection by making a schematic and photographic finding of the main issues and another inspection based on experimentation by carrying out several tests in situ and in the laboratory, which led to its classification in 2E according to the manual image of the quality of works of art (IQOA). Two types of regulatory loads are applied in this article; the Algerian regulation in force and the European regulation Eurocode 1 in order to carry out a comparative numerical simulation using the lowest compression constraint found during the experiment on the cores taken from the expert bridge. The results of this work confirmed the safety side of the European regulation because it responds correctly to the evolution of loads, hence any future verification of the pathological state of existing frame bridges must refer to the Eurocode as the loading code.
Primary immunodeficiency disorders imitating inflammatory bowel diseases: clinical aspects and problems of the differential diagnosis
Authors: Shcherbakova Olga V.
Published: February 2024

From the beginning of 2000s, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) in adults and children in many countries around the world. The aim of the review is to summarize the state-of-the-art on diverse clinical types of PIDs with gastrointestinal manifestations and their differential diagnostic algorithms.
Atypical PIDs with “blunted” clinical manifestations are challenging for the timely diagnosis. Some types of PIDs with gastrointestinal involvement are also difficult to differentiate with classical IBDs. Molecular genetic studies have allowed for selection of a specific group of monogenic IBD-like diseases, represented mainly by PIDs. The authors discuss current classification of PIDs and their main clinical types imitating IBD, with important clinical and laboratory aspects. High level of information and awareness of practicing specialists working with IBD patients would be helpful in the selection of a patient cohort with possible PIDs and in the performance of extended laboratory assessment or referring for genetic tests. Timely diagnosis of PIDs would ensure quick administration of target therapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which in most cases would allow for the achievement of the disease remission, improvement of quality and duration of life.

The review summarizes current understanding of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and their role in the development of inflammation and thrombus formation during physiological and complicated pregnancy. The main initiation factors and molecular and cellular reactions leading to the generation of NETs are described. During gestation, various pregnancy-associated triggers (cytokines, hormones, colony-stimulating factors, etc.) contribute to increased activity of innate immune factors associated with the processes of neutrophil migration into gestational tissues, adhesion, degranulation, phagocytosis and release of extracellular neutrophil traps. It has been established that the uncontrolled aberrant generation of NETs, as well as their products, including reactive oxygen species, can exert a cytotoxic effect on maternal cells and tissues, adverse fetal effects and contribute to placental damage, resulting in such pregnancy complications as placental disorders, immunothrombosis and preeclampsia. The emergence of new data on the morphological and functional characteristics of the cellular component of innate immunity necessitates their advanced research with consideration of the functional potential and conditions for NETs formation, clarification and determination of their pathophysiological significance in normal and complicated pregnancy. It seems promising to study the possibility of assessment of the DNA traps levels for early diagnosis and prognosis of gestational complications, as well as for the development of new treatment strategies including targeted therapy.
