IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MASTERING COMBAT TECHNIQUES OF FIGHTING BY FSIN CADETS
Authors:   Samara Law Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Kaznazcheev V.A.
Published: May 2022

The relevance of the topic of the presented article is due to the fact that the life of employees of institutions of the penitentiary system can often depend on the level of their possession of the skills of combat techniques of struggle. Practice shows that this level is not high enough. In this regard, in the course of this study, ways are proposed to solve the existing problems arising from the unimproved methodology for teaching wrestling techniques in higher educational institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. The author of the article comes to the following conclusions: in order to improve the quality of training in combat techniques for cadets, it is necessary to increase the number of hours allotted for their study. At the same time, it would be more effective to conduct regular training sessions in different places (gym, outdoor activities on asphalt, in the forest, in various buildings), in different clothes, with different partners. It is necessary to leave in the curriculum only those techniques that really allow in the event of an attack to cope with it, forming a sufficiently high level of self-defense skill, as well as approximately the same effectiveness of countering an armed and unarmed attack. It is advisable to learn the technique “by divisions” under the score. As soon as the reception is successfully performed in this rhythm, it should be performed “together”, without pauses. It is advisable to teach both hands at once. After the technique is mastered, you can proceed to its improvement.
Mass Points, Spaces of Spheres, ”hyperbolae” and Dandelin and Quételet Theorems
Authors: Garnier Lionel , Druoton Lucie , Bécar Jean-Paul , Fuchs Laurent , Morin Géraldine
Published: May 2022

The use of mass points eases the definition of a branch of a hyperbola in the Euclidean plane based on a Rational Quadratic Bézier Curve. In the space of spheres, any circular cone, circular cylinder, torus, pencil of spheres or Dupin cyclide is represented by a rational quadratic Bézier curve that is conic arc seen as circle arc. The limit points of the Poncelet pencil or the singular points of the Dupin cyclide can be determined using the asymptotes of this circle. This article shows that the use of mass points simplifies the modelling of these pencils or these Dupin cyclides in the space of spheres. The determination of the Dandelin spheres ends this work as an application.
Asymptotic Series Evaluation of Integrals Arising in the Particular Solutions to Airy’s Inhomogeneous Equation with Special Forcing Functions
Authors: Hamdan M. H. , Dajani S. Jayyousi , Roach D. C.
Published: May 2022

In this work, particular and general solutions to Airy’s inhomogeneous equation are obtained when the forcing function is one of Airy’s functions of the first and second kind, and the standard Nield-Kuznetsov function of the first kind. Particular solutions give rise to special integrals that involve products of Airy’s and Nield-Kuznetsov functions. Evaluation of the resulting integrals is facilitated by expressing their integrands in asymptotic series. Corresponding expressions for the Nield-Kuznetsov function of the second kind are obtained.
Granulation Tissue as a Type of Connective Tissue (Review)
Authors:   ITMO University, Nikonorova Varvara G. , Krishtop Vladimir V. , Rumyantseva Tat’yana A. ,   Yaroslavl State Medical University
Published: May 2022

Currently, there is no consensus among scientists on the place of scar tissue and, in particular, granulation tissue in the classification of fibrous connective tissue. This paper aimed to generalize literature data on the structure and development of fibrous scar tissue. It is demonstrated that granulation tissue is mostly composed of myofibroblasts, along with fibroblasts, as well as old fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and immune cells. Myofibroblasts are characterized by a developed cytoskeleton represented by stress fibers, which ensures active migration of these cells and remodelling of the surrounding intercellular substance. The developed synthetic apparatus of the myofibroblast, in addition to synthesis of the intercellular substance, provides cell paracrine activity, which maintains the homeostasis of the cellular components of granulation tissue. The intercellular substance is represented by type III collagen fibers; elastic fibers are absent. The ground substance has a high degree of hydration and low stiffness and is rich in glycosaminoglycans, collagenases and fibronectin; this greatly facilitates the migration of myofibroblasts, endotheliocytes and fibrocytes. The ability of the intercellular substance to accumulate growth factors plays an important role in the transdifferentiation of fibrocytes into myofibroblasts. The blood vessels of the granulation tissue are the source of fibrocytes, which play a key role in the formation of granules of the newly formed tissue around the vessel. Myofibroblast apoptosis triggers the differentiation of granulation tissue into dense fibrous loose connective tissue. At the same time, type III collagen is replaced by type I collagen, elastin fibers appear, angiogenesis is inhibited, and mechanisms providing sympathetic innervation of connective tissue are triggered. Thus, granulation tissue can be considered as temporary connective tissue, which is one of the examples of dedifferentiation that occurs not only at the cellular, but also at the tissue level.
DEVELOPMENT OF STEEL AS ANTI-BALLISTIC COMBAT VEHICLE MATERIAL: REVIEW
Authors: Siagian Josua , Putra Apriyanto I Nengah , Djenod Kaharuddin
Published: May 2022

The use of steel (armor) in military vehicle designs is increasingly dominating and is predicted to continue to increase in the future as research and material engineering are carried out. This is a necessity considering that armored military vehicles must be required to have high anti-ballistic capabilities, but on the other hand, of course, still have agility in maneuvering on the operating field. Optimal ballistic performance is closely related to material strength, material constituent content, material hardness and high strain rate behavior of materials used in military vehicles. Currently, the most widely used armor materials are RHA (Rolled Homogeneous Armor) and High Hardness Steel (HB 550). RHA itself is often used for armored vehicles because of its ability to absorb and deflect kinetic energy from ammunition / ballistics. This right is because RHA is a homogeneous plate that has the same hardness and structure throughout because it involves a new process called rolling. Meanwhile, HB 550 is known to have a fine grain microstructure, high level of hardness and toughness obtained from the alloying process of two types of steel, namely high strength low alloy steel (HSLA) and wootz steel and followed by quenching technology. From the results of studies and literature reviews, it is known that in RHA steel, ballistic resistance is closely related to the adiabatic shear band transformation due to softening and thermal strain associated with the collision moment that occurs. While on the HB 550, it is recommended that the minimum thickness value of the plate to produce an optimal level of ballistic protection is 14.5 mm for the FB7 and 13 mm for the 7.62 mm AP bullet.

Investigación del estigma y las comorbilidades del paciente con Lepra
Authors: Juan Jimenez Cristina , Lopez Echevarria Jose Ramon , Martínez Pérez Ana , Pérez Tanoira Ramon
Published: May 2022

La Lepra ha sido y sigue siendo una enfermedad olvidada, infradiagnosticada y cargada de gran estigma social, que influye en muchos aspectos de la vida de las personas afectadas, aisladas ante el rechazo, especialmente si padecen deformidades visibles. El objeto de este estudio busca ahondar en las historias de los pacientes con Lepra que residen en el Sanatorio de Fontilles, en la de sus familiares y el personal sanitario, profundizando en la vivencia de su estigma. Por otro lado, al ampliar el estudio a través de grupos de discusión, se analiza el conocimiento existente sobre Lepra, tanto de la sociedad como de otros profesionales sanitarios. Mientras la sociedad desconoce aspectos básicos de su transmisión, fundamentales para eliminar el estigma asociado a su padecimiento, los propios afectados que la han “superado”, evitan nombrarla y se aíslan entre los muros del leprosorio. Conseguir reducir el estigma contribuiría a superar las barreras existentes favoreciendo su prevención, tratamiento y diagnóstico precoz, evitando su progresión y en consecuencia la afectación de la vida social, económica y psicosocial de los enfermos y enfermas.

A biosensor is an analytical instrument that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector to detect a chemical molecule. A biosensor is a biological detection device that combines a biological component with a transducer to perform biochemical amount measurement. Biosensors are often designed to convert physical, chemical, or biological events into measurable signals, providing qualitative and/or quantitative data on the target analytes. While the topic of biosensors has attracted a lot of attention from scientists, combining it with micro fluidics could result in even more substantial gains in terms of sensitivity and specificity, resolution, automation, throughput, repeatability, dependability, and accuracy. Biosensors-on-chip (BoC) might thus serve as a bridge between diagnostics in central laboratories and diagnostics at the patient's bedside, allowing for significant breakthroughs in point-of-care (PoC) diagnostic applications. The purpose of this publication is to present an up-to-date review of BoC system development and their most current application in cancer, infectious diseases, and neurological disorders diagnosis. Leland C. Clark invented enzyme electrodes in 1962, which marked the beginning of biosensor development. A biosensor typically consists of an enzyme, antibody, or cell receptor, as well as a detecting device or transducer. Covalent bonding, matrix entrapment, physical adsorption, and membrane entrapment are some of the ways used to combine these two elements. A biosensor is a type of analytical equipment that detects chemical substances. They normally consist of three segments: sensor, transducer, and related electrons, and combine a biological component with a physicochemical conductor.

Over the past decade, there has been an exponential increase in the number of children diagnosed and treated with ankyloglossia, a condition where the lingual frenulum attaches near the tip of the tongue (anterior tongue-tie) or at the root of the tongue (posterior tongue-tie) and may be short, tight and thick. There have been immense controversies regarding clinical significance of this condition. Recent studies suggest that speech, solid feeding, and sleep difficulties may be linked to restricted tongue function. This article presents the latest evidence on the diagnosis and management of tongue-tie.

Microdeletions and microduplications are involved in many cases of malformations, developmental delay (DD), autism (A) and growth disturbances (GD). Molecular karyotyping (MC) performed by microarray technology is a valuable method frequently used to elucidate the etiology of these clinical expressions, essentially contributing to the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases produced by DNA copy number variations (CNVs). MC has offered a higher diagnostic yield for genetic testing of patients with unexplained DD, A and GD than a G-banded karyotype, primarily because of its higher sensitivity in detecting submicroscopic deletions and duplications. In addition, the molecular karyotype approach using the SNP-array method also allows highlighting the regions of loss of heterozygosity and uniparental disomy, which are the basis of some genetic syndromes. In this paper we will present a rare case of a 6 months old boy, referred for MC due to global developmental delay, axial hypotonia, with limbs hypertonia, heart malformation (atrial septal defect). SNP-Array analysis identified a 606,3 Kb microdeletion in the Xp21.1 region, that contains 39 exons of dystrophin gene. This finding was confirmed also with additional MLPA testing. In conclusion, it is an unusual, precocious diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, during first year of life, referred for atypical presentation, main clinical feature being global developmental delay.

The mother's nutritional status both before and during pregnancy is an important factor that influences the evolution of pregnancy and the condition of the fetus and the newborn. Maternal weight, either through excess or deficit, is associated with a number of adverse pregnancy outcomes that can affect both mother and fetus. Knowing the maternal body mass index (BMI) and how it can influence the outcome of pregnancy is an important step in preconception care, and prompt nutritional intervention can prevent possible complications.

Mast cells can be found almost everywhere throughout the human body, even in some benign soft tissue tumors (e.g. neurofibroma) and their presence within gynecological tumors has been well known for several decades. However, the prognostic role of their presence in various tumors is not yet understood as several scientific studies reveal contradictory information with both positive and negative correlation between the number of mast cells and tumor aggressiveness. In recent years, some authors reported that increased numbers of mast cell in the background of cervical and endometrial carcinomas are usually correlated with a worse prognosis when compared to similar histopathologic lesions with no mast cell microenvironment. On the other hand, similar studies regarding ovarian and breast carcinoma demonstrated strong positive correlation between increased mast cell numbers and favorable outcome. Therefore, we now have increasing evidence showing that mast cells tend to gather within and around neoplastic proliferations and could either promote or inhibit tumoral growth, based on regional stromal environment. In this article we aim to evaluate the mast cell microenvironment in smooth muscle tumors of the uterine corpus and attempt to establish their diagnostic implications and prognostic value.

Endocervical pathology is commonly encountered in daily outpatient gynecological practice and is apparently simple to diagnose. Remote resonance of untreated endocervical pathologies, however, indicates difficulties in detection and perhaps even in treatment. The role of the endocervix is that of boundary between the lower genital tract and the upper genital tract, that is between an environment rich in microorganisms and the almost sterile endometrium and endosalpinx. The major barrier role belongs to the cervical mucus. Non-neoplastic pathology of the endocervix is systematically discussed, as follows: endocervicitis, Naboth cysts, endocervical polyps, cervical endometriosis, cervical fibroids, cervical stenoses, glandular preneoplastic lesions and adenocarcinoma in situ. Some notions of anatomy and histology are briefly reviewed. Endocervical pathology is varied. It can be correctly diagnosed starting from the clinical picture, completed with laboratory investigations, bacteriological examinations, exfoliative cytology, molecular tests for the diagnosis of HPV infection, colposcopy, but also by thorough ultrasound examinations. Ultrasound examination of the cervix should be part of the routine examination, because its systematic evaluation can make a significant contribution to refining the diagnosis.

Ectopic pregnancies especially cervical, tubal and cesarean scar pregnancies, represent obstetrical emergencies that endanger the fertility and, more important, the life of women. Interventional radiology has gained popularity over the last years in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy as combined treatment with methotrexate administration in cases of tubal pregnancy, first line treatment in cases of cesarean scar pregnancies or, more recently, as single line management in cases of cervical pregnancies with astonishing results and numerous benefits. Its primary advantage is represented by fertility preservation among young fertile women simultaneously with the avoidance of an invasive surgical method with the subsequent risks and possible complications. We present a narrative review regarding success rates of uterine artery embolization in the treatment of ectopic pregnancies.

The evaluation of regional lymph nodes is part of breast cancer staging. Biopsy of the sentinel lymph node was established, in order to evaluate the condition of the axillary lymph nodes without having to complete an axillary dissection. The concept of sentinel lymph node (SLN) is based on the theory of sequential dissemination of tumor cells through the lymph. When lymphatic dissemination occurs, the invasion initially occurs in the first lymph node that drains lymph from the tumor. This lymph node has been named GS and depending on its negative or positive status, the presence or absence of metastases in the remaining regional lymph nodes can be established. Blue dye (BD) and radioactive isotopes (RI) are routinely used markers for identification of the sentinel lymph nodes during sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in early stage breast cancer. Unlike the blue dye technique, using radioactive isotopes has lower false-negative rates. Nonetheless, the need of lymphoscintigraphy, the time needed for preoperative injection, and undetected sentinel lymph nodes in some cases cause surgeons to rely only on the combination of blue dye and radioisotopes. At present, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence method (ICG-SLNB) is starting to gain more and more field as an alternative to conventional mapping methods. The purpose of this review is to compare ICG with the conventional methods (blue dye and radioactive isotopes) and their role in detection of SLN.

Congenital uterine malformations are genital tract anomalies that can arise at different stages in the development of the Müllerian ducts. Their exact epidemiology is unclear. Depending on the type of uterine anomaly, they can be asymptomatic or imply adverse reproductive outcomes (infertility, recurrent miscarriages, preterm labor), thus altering the quality of life. The American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) most common classification system divides uterine malformations into seven categories. The CONUTA (Congenital Uterine Anomalies) working group set up by the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) together with the European Society for Gynecological Endoscopy (ESGE) developed and published in 2013 the new classification system of congenital uterine malformations which are grouped by classes according to common impairment of the primary embryological process, respectively formation, fusion, resorption. To plan their therapeutic management, one must first determine the exact type of uterine anomaly. Several methods can be used for diagnosing uterine anomalies. Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US) represents the essential diagnostic tool and should be used as the first line in most cases where the uterine malformation is suspected.

State suppression of trade unions — overt and covert, old and new
Authors: Smith Dave
Published: May 2022

When even the BBC have criticised the handling of the Sarah Everard vigils by the Metropolitan Police, and flag waving patriots in the Labour Party oppose the Johnson government’s proposed legislation, you begin to realise the extent of the drift towards authoritarianism. The Police, Crime and Sentencing Bill is just one such example
The UK political police units also send their officers to work undercover within the labour movement. And they cultivate informants within the trade union movement itself, enabling them to supply employers with the information needed to identify and then blacklist progressive trade union activists. Sharon Graham’s pledge to uncover the truth about any collusion by UNITE officials in blacklisting is therefore to be welcomed.
Marxists, especially those active in the labour movement, should be outraged by the drift towards authoritarianism by the British state, but not surprised. Fortunately, young people have turned out in their thousands at Kill The Bill protests against the Tories’ proposed new authoritarian laws, though, and unions are beginning to rediscover the more muscular organising methods of the past.

China-US rivalry is placed at the centre of the analysis, which also looks at crises around Ukraine and Iran. The position of Britain in the new world politics is examined, along with the inadequacies of the Labour Party’s response.
Coming out of Covid
Authors: Roberts Michael
Published: May 2022

The pandemic is not over. It is entering its third year with a new variant, Omicron, which has a high infection rate and uncertain damage to health. People are being forced to live (or die) with Covid. The pandemic has exposed the huge inequalities of wealth, income and health between countries globally. The ‘sugar rush’ recovery from the pandemic has driven up inflation rates everywhere, and there seems to be no evidence to justify the claim that the advanced capitalist world is about to experience a roaring 2020s as the US briefly did in the 1920s after the Spanish flu pandemic. Maybe the political and economic conditions for a new lease of life for capitalism could happen in the next decade, but only as a result of further slumps that drive up profitability significantly. More likely, the capitalist mode of production is getting closer to its use-by date in historical terms.
Industrial and regional strategies for economic renewal
Authors: Michie Jonathan
Published: May 2022

The 2007-09 global financial crisis and recession were caused by the current free-market form of globalisation. That crisis, and the subsequent decade of austerity, left society and the economy ill-equipped to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. What we need now is to abandon that ‘capitalism unleashed’ form of globalisation, and instead develop and implement industrial and regional strategies to create an alternative, socially and environmentally sustainable form of development around a global Green New Deal. Such strategies could deliver immediate benefits — and would also help create the potential for transformative change over the longer term, to create a socially and environmentally sustainable future.
Climate COP-up, COP-out and hyCOPrisy
Authors: Clarke Richard
Published: May 2022

The complexities of climate science, of estimates of global greenhouse gas emissions and of their implications for climate change have not prevented widespread acceptance that global warming is a reality and its consequences potentially catastrophic for our planet and its peoples. But the convoluted processes of international negotiations and the political and economic context of their implementation mean that few have any confidence that national undertakings and international targets will be met. COP26 was a watershed, revealing the lack of progress on the most critical challenge of our time, the hypocrisy and double-speak of capitalist states and corporations, and the co-option of some conservation organisations through a deceptively ‘green’ narrative. A critical, materialist, Marxist approach can break through the greenwash of official discourse, reveal the need for systemic change, and potentially serve as a focus for growing public awareness and environmental activism.
Reflections on the 50th anniversary of the freeing of the Pentonville dockers
Authors: Hendy Lord John
Published: May 2022

This paper considers the background to the Industrial Relations Act 1971 and how the law attempted to weaken trade union structures, collective bargaining and the right to strike. The purpose was to diminish workers’ wage share and transfer wealth to the rich. The imprisonment of the dockers in 1972 under the act, released after the threat of a general strike, is dealt with. The paper considers this to be a turning point in the strength of the organised working class after resort again to a neoliberal industrial relations legal regime established under the Thatcher government from 1979 onwards has relentlessly driven down wage share, equality, security and the prosperity of the working class. A few positive thoughts are offered for the future.

The study aims to outline the framework and the main challenges for planning in SMEs in the context of digitalisation. The object of research is SMEs in Bulgaria, subject – the planning function and its digitization. Through a comparative, critical analysis, the picture in SMEs and the challenges of digital transformation are outlined. An em-pirical study of the state of planned activities in SMEs and the readiness for digital transformation are conducted, the data are processed by statistical analysis methods. Through deduction, induction and traduction, criteria for self-as-sessment of the digitalisation of the planned activity in SMEs are derived. The emphasis is on interventions to improve the digital competence of enterprises.
WHAT DO SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS NEED? A REFLECTIVE VIEW USING THE CORPORATE SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP CONCEPT
Authors: Rickhoff-Fischer Iris , Somers Carmel
Published: May 2022

Corporate social entrepreneurship (CSE) is a recent concept whereby organizations can aim for corporate sustainability in the pursuit of resilience. It has only rarely found its way into the discussion on leadership frameworks and styles, which raises the question of what impact CSE will have on sustainability leadership. Our research is based on different leadership frameworks including sustainability leadership, linking it to the CSE concept and its corre-sponding competences. The CSE concept transverses all parts of the business, employing different leadership styles. Al-though our results reinforced key aspects of sustainability leadership, we reveal that the transformation process towards a CSE organization requires partially opposing leadership styles.

We report the first-time recovery of a fresh meteorite fall using a drone and a machine-learning algorithm. The fireball was observed on 2021 April 1 over Western Australia by the Desert Fireball Network, for which a fall area was calculated for the predicted surviving mass. A search team arrived on-site and surveyed 5.1 km2 area over a 4 day period. A convolutional neural network, trained on previously recovered meteorites with fusion crusts, processed the images on our field computer after each flight. Meteorite candidates identified by the algorithm were sorted by team members using two user interfaces to eliminate false positives. Surviving candidates were revisited with a smaller drone, and imaged in higher resolution, before being eliminated or finally being visited in person. The 70 g meteorite was recovered within 50 m of the calculated fall line, demonstrating the effectiveness of this methodology, which will facilitate the efficient collection of many more observed meteorite falls.

We report new VLA and e-MERLIN high-resolution and -sensitivity images of the triple radio continuum source in the Serpens star-forming region. These observations allowed us to perform a deep multifrequency, multiepoch study by exploring the innermost regions (≲100 au) of an intermediate-mass young stellar object for the first time, with a physical resolution of ∼15 au. The kinematic analysis of knots recently ejected by the protostar indicates that the jet is undergoing episodic variations in velocity. In addition, our multifrequency images reveal striking characteristics, e.g., a highly collimated ionized stream that would be launched at a radial distance of ∼0.4 au from the protostar and a narrow (∼28 au wide) ionized cavity that would be excited by the interaction of a wide-angle component with the surrounding toroid of infalling material. In light of these results, we propose the scenario in which both a highly collimated jet and a wide-angle wind coexist as the most plausible to explain our observations, either launched by the X-wind or X-plus-disk-wind mechanism.

Large potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) are capable of causing a global catastrophe in the event of a planetary collision. Thus, rapid assessment of such an object’s physical characteristics is crucial for determining its potential risk scale. We treated the near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis as a newly discovered object during its 2020–2021 close approach as part of a mock planetary defense exercise. The object was detected by the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), and data collected by the two active bands (3.4 and 4.6 μm) were analyzed using thermal and thermophysical modeling. Our results indicate that Apophis is an elongated object with an effective spherical diameter D
