Authors: Kong Enqi , Zhang Chao , Li Xia , Song Haiping , Sun Li , Tian Jing
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Sheng-xue-xiao-van (SXXB) is reported to be effective in treatment of thrombocytopenic purpura and chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in clinical practices. The purpose of this study was to explore the functions of the SXXB Capsule in ovarian cancer in vitro.Methods: The toxicity of the medicine was measured using CCK8 method in ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and OC-3-VGH and also the human ovarian epithelial cell line IOSE80. The cells were treated using the DMSO-diluted SXXB solution with the concentration levels at0, 3.125 and 6.25 μg/ml. Western blot was applied to measure the VEGFA proteins in each group. Later, the cells treated with 0 and 25μg/ml SXXB solution for 48h were collected for supernatant. Then HUVECs were co-cultured with the supernatant. Migration and tube formation assays were performed thereafter.Results: SXXB solution showed higher toxicity in ovarian cancer cells than in IOSE80. The protein levels of VEGFA were reduced as the SXXB concentrations increased in ovarian cancer cells but not in IOSE80. Migration and formed tubes were inhibited in HUVECs co-cultured with the supernatant collected from SXXB-treated ovarian cancer cells.Conclusion: The SXXB Capsule might inhibit the angiogenesis in ovarian cancer in vitro.

Authors: Zhou Mei , Zhang Liming
Published: June 2022

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of imatinib mesylate plus radiotherapy for the treatment of acute leukemia and its effect on immune function.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 88 patients with acute leukemia admitted to Zhuji Affiliated Hospital of Shaoxing University between July 2017 and July 2021. They were assigned (randomly, 1:1)  to a control group (radiotherapy) or a study group (imatinib mesylate plus radiotherapy) according to different treatment regimens. Outcome measures assessed included the clinical efficacy of the treatments in the patients and their immune functions.Results: The two groups did not show any significant differences with regard to general patient profiles. After treatment, both groups presented reduced white blood cell (WBC) and platelet count (PLT) and elevated red blood cells count (RBC). The level of hemoglobin (Hb) level showed a slight decline in the control group but a significant increase in the study group (p < 0.05). The study group showed better improvement in the levels of WBC, PLT, RBC, and Hb than the control group (p < 0.05). The absolute values of peripheral blood mature neutrophils decreased in both groups after treatment, down to the lowest level at week 2, but rebounded, with higher absolute values in the study group at weeks 2, 3, and 4 of treatment (p < 0.05). Imatinib mesylate plus radiotherapy was associated with higher efficacy, compared with radiotherapy alone (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Radiotherapy plus imatinib mesylate effectively enhances the immune functions of acute leukemia patients, mitigates inflammatory responses, alleviates clinical symptoms, and boosts clinical efficacy. Further clinical trials are, however, required prior to general application in clinical practice.

Published: June 2022

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy, quality of care and safety of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). using systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.Methods: Relevant studies published between January 1st 2010 and August 20th, 2021, on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and conventional treatment (CT) after PCI were sourced from different databases including CNKI, CBM, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library. The TCM was composed of preparations of chinese eaglewood, peppermint, radix notoginseng, scabrous elephant foot herb, Tongxinluo, Danhong, Naoxintong capsule, Huxin Formula and liquorice root while the CT included aspirin (100 mg/day), clopidogrel (75 mg/day), and statins. PRISMA guidelines were used. Primary outcome was to evaluate the efficacy, quality of care and safety of TCM versus conventional treatment post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Results: 110 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were retrieved and analyzed. The results from metaanalysis showed an enhanced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) % among patients that received TCM compared to those on CT [mean difference ± sd (MD)=5.17, 95% CI (3.29-7.06), Z = 5.38, (P < 0.001)]. Further, hypersensitive C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) level in TCM group was found to be relatively lower than that of the CT group (CG) [MD=-1.44, 95% CI (-2.87-0.00), Z=1.96, (P=0.05)]. In terms of safety, TCM group relative risk score in fixed-effect model was lower than that of the CG [RR=0.66, 95% CI (0.40, 1.10), Z=1.66,].Conclusion: It can be inferred from the results that TCM has more advantages in terms of clinical efficacy, quality of care and safety compared to conventional therapy. However, the lack of substantial research in deploying TCM for the treatment of CHD demands further exploration and strong evidence prior to clinical application of TCM.
Myrcene exerts anti-tumor effects on oral cancer cells in vitro via induction of apoptosis
Authors: Wu Zexiu , Li Zhenmei , Liang Yuan
Published: June 2022

Purpose: To investigate the anticancer potential of myrcene against oral cancer cells.Methods: The effect of myrcene on oral cancer cell growth were studied using CCK-8 proliferation andclonogenic assays, while Annexin V-FITC/PI and DAPI staining methods were used for the determination of its effect on cell apoptosis. Protein expression levels were assayed by western blotting technique. Wound healing and Transwell chamber assays were used to determine the effect of myrcene on oral cancer cell migration and invasion, respectively.Results: Myrcene significantly and dose-dependently inhibited oral cancer cell growth (p < 0.05). The anti-proliferative effect of myrcene was comparatively lower on Hs27 human fibroblast cells than on SCC9 oral cancer cells. Myrcene stimulated apoptosis in human oral cancer cells via enhancement of Bax expression and repression of Bcl-2 expression. The percentage of early and late apoptotic cells increased from 4.03 in untreated control to 27.77 when treated with 20 μM myrcene. Moreover, myrcene in vitro significantly suppressed the migration and invasion of oral cancer cells (p < 0.05).Conclusion: These results indicate that myrcene exerts potent anticancer effects on oral cancer cells via induction of apoptosis, and should be further investigated in vivo for this purpose.
Carbon Monoxide Oxidation on Model Planar Titania Supported Platinum Nanoparticles Catalyst
Authors: Emmanuel Jovine , Hayden Brian
Published: June 2022

A high-throughput (parallel) thermographic screening methodology was developed to enable the measurements of the particle size and support influence on heterogeneous catalysts. A high throughput screening chip has been used to establish the catalytic activity of titania supported platinum nanoparticles catalyst for CO oxidation reaction. The catalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles between 1.3 to 7.8 nm has been investigated for CO conversion at a pressure of 0.11 and 1.1 mbar with O2:CO ratio of 1:1 at 80 °C and 0.6, 1.1 and 2.4 mbar at O2:CO ratio of 1:1 at 240 °C. At these experimental conditions, there was an increase in the TOF with decreasing particle size for instance, at 80 °C and O2:CO ratio of 1:1, total pressure of 0.11 and 1.1 mbar, the TOF increased from 0.01 s–1 to 0.171 s–1 with decreasing Pt particle size from 7.8 to 1.3 nm, respectively. However, Pt nanoparticles catalyst displayed higher activity at higher temperature, for example, the TOF increased from 3.312 s–1 to 4.355 s–1 at O2:CO ratio of 1:1, total pressure of 0.6 and 1.1 mbar, respectively, for Pt particle size of 1.3 nm in agreement with the previous reports. Results show that CO oxidation on titania supported Pt nanoparticles catalyst is particle size dependent. On the other hand, findings from XPS measurements show no major change in the particle size after the reaction thus, reflecting the stability of Pt particles. While there is no apparent consensus in the literature reports on the activity trend with particle size for this system, these findings are consistent with most of the previously reported findings.

Weathering the Storm: Community Socio-Economic and Physical Vulnerability Assessment of Informal Settlements to Disasters in Arusha City, Tanzania
Authors: Hambati Herbert
Published: June 2022

Urban population growth has demonstrated a synergetic relationship with the growth of informal settlements and vulnerability to disasters in urban areas. This study employed Community Participatory Vulnerability Assessment (CPVA) to analyse vulnerability in informal settlements in Arusha City, Tanzania. The results show that a plethora of factors, including socio-economic and physical realities interact in complex non-linear ways to shape vulnerability to disasters in informal settlements in the city. The study shows that coping strategies of some individuals in informal settlements reinforce their risks to disasters. This is particularly demonstrated by the stones that are positioned on weak roof structures for protection, and which may potentially serve as projectiles in the event of storm. This quick-fix coping strategy, which results from short-sighted narrow conception of human relationship to the natural environment, may appear sustainable in the short-term. However, given the rising uncertainties of the future, it is unlikely to be sustainable. The study concludes that indigenous knowledge holds great potential in community responses to long term considerations regarding environmental hazards. The study also recommends that measures and strategies aimed at reducing disasters should address the whole set of issues leading to poverty and exposure disparities within the community.

Keywords:    Assessment; vulnerability, disaster, informal settlements, Tanzania.
Charcoal Whirlwinds and Post-Fire Observations in Serengeti National Park Savannahs
Authors: Courtney Mustaphi Colin J. , Vos Heleen C. , Marchant Rob , Beale Colin
Published: June 2022

Whirlwinds and visible dust devils occur over semi-arid ecosystems and entrain particles from the ground surface. Fires produce abundant charcoal across savannahs and the resulting blackened surfaces create a large albedo contrast. Whirlwinds have been observed associated with active fires; yet, there are few published observations on post-fire landscapes. Spatiotemporal patterns of whirlwinds have been documented for a limited number of regions and have not been made for the ecosystems of eastern Africa. From field-based sightings in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, we report on whirlwinds over burned savannah patches that entrained large quantities of charcoal to produce black coloured charcoal devils that lofted charcoal into the atmosphere. Two occurrences of charcoal devils were sighted and photographed, one each in the Western Corridor (Bunda District) and Lamai (Serengeti District), Mara Region. The observations were compared with regional scale meteorological data and remote sensing satellite imagery and albedo estimates of the land cover conditions. Although direct meteorological or particulate matter measurements were not made, the observations show that both charcoal devils differed in colour, funnel shape, height, and savannah land cover types (different woody to grass fuel canopies), and thus different charcoal morphologies. Charcoal laden whirlwinds require further study and characterization to analyse the contribution to local-scale redistribution of matter and regional-to-global fluxes of terrestrially derived atmospheric particulates. Future research focusing on the spatiotemporal patterns of whirlwinds over burned patches of savannah, the formation, duration and dissipation mechanisms, and characterisation of the entrained material would contribute to our understanding of the phenomena. The redistribution of organic and clastic material would contribute to understanding of detrital fluxes to depositional environments, such as lakes, wetlands, and snow.

Evaluation of Natural Radioactivity and Radiation Hazards of Soils around Petroleum Products Marketing Company using Gamma Ray Spectrometry
Authors: Ayeni Dayo A. , Adebiyi Festus M.
Published: June 2022

This study aimed at evaluating natural radioactivity and radiation hazards of soils around a petroleum product marketing company due to anthropogenic influences using gamma ray spectrometry. Top soils (5 cm deep) were collected from diverse locations inside the premises of the Company using standard analytical technique, while control samples were acquired at approximately 200 m from the study area. Mean activity concentrations of the radionuclides in the test soils were 89.36 Bq/kg for 40K, 92.1 Bq/kg for 238U and 10.95 Bq/kg for 232Th, which are more than that of control samples with statistically significant differences. Assessment of the radiological levels of the oil-contaminated soils were done using internal hazard index, external hazard index, annual gonadal dose equivalent, annual effective dose rate, radium equivalent, total absorbed dose rate and representative level index (IŸ). The results showed that mean annual equivalent dose rate of the oil-contaminated soil (0.46 mSv/yr) fell below the permissive annual dose limit (1.0 mSv/yr). Mean internal hazard index (0.55 Bq/kg) and external hazard index (0.30 Bq/kg) values were less than the minimum permissible limit (1.0). Mean annual gonadal dose equivalent value (358.46 µSvy-1) of the radionuclides was close to the world average of 300 µSvy-1, while the mean representative gamma index value (0.78) was also less than unity. Estimated mean value (114.65 Bq/kg) of the radium equivalent was also below the world average of 370 Bq/kg, the values are also more than that of the control samples. Though the soils exhibited low gamma radiation, however lengthy term exposure may pose an inherent cancerous ill-health. It is vital to repeat this investigation periodically to avert precarious effects of anthropogenic influences; also indiscriminate discarding of oils should be discouraged.

Testament Leonarda Bernsteina – The Unanswered Question w świetle zagadnień dyrygenckich
Authors: Bielak Jan
Published: June 2022

Leonard Bernstein’s Testament — The Unanswered Question in the Light of Conducting Issues

In 1973, Leonard Bernstein gave a series of six lectures at Harvard University, entitled The Unanswered Question: Six talks at Harvard. This interdisciplinary course, drawing on Noam Chomsky's theory of transformational-generative grammar, presented an original conception of music as a universal language based on tonality and outlined the history of its development, concluding with Bernstein’s personal credo regarding its future. The argumentation used, although encompassing fields as diverse as linguistics, literary studies, philosophy and art history, was based primarily on musical analyses presented at the piano, supplemented by recordings of the symphonic works being discussed, performed under the baton of Bernstein himself. The Harvard lectures thus represent the summa of his aesthetic reflections and performance experiences, providing a unique insight into his views on music and its interpretation. This paper focuses on synthesising these views, subjecting them to factual verification, and then showing their influence on Bernstein's art of conducting through the example of the recordings used in The Unanswered Question series, focusing in particular on the issue of expression.
What Does the Lyrebird Hear? Trouble With Birdsong in the Anthropocene
Authors: Krzyżanowski Wojciech
Published: June 2022

Human-made noise pollutes the Earth further every day. It is important to investigate how that process affects the whole biosphere. I present a symbolic case of the Australian lyrebird, which is a songbird that mimics the sounds of its surroundings. Today its songs sound like chainsaw and other heavy machinery. All animal species are polluted by human noise to some extent. There are many studies about sonic perception in animals, but it seems that this knowledge is still hardly popularised. The phenomenon of sharing sounds between humans and other animals may also be better understood by new approaches to studies on cultural evolution.
Geneza i przygotowania do nowego Synodu Biskupów poświęconego synodalności
Authors: Królikowski Janusz
Published: June 2022

Papież Franciszek zwrócił Kościół w kierunku nadania mu charakteru synodalnego, dlatego też kolejny synod biskupów zajmuje się już zagadnieniem synodalności i ma szukać jej właściwego kształtu. Ważne jest, aby dobrze znać genezę tego zagadnienia, gdyż tylko w ten sposób będzie można je właściwie podjąć i ukierunkować w służbie misji zbawczej, którą Kościół pełni. W nauczaniu papieża Franciszka znajdujemy jasno określone pryncypia, na których można budować poprawnie rozumianą synodalność i włączać ją w życie Kościoła na różnych poziomach jego funkcjonowania. Stanowią one właściwe przygotowanie do obecnego synodu biskupów oraz prawidłowe ukierunkowanie jego procesu i podejmowanych konkretnie prac.

The origins and the preparations for a new Synod of Bishops concerning synodality

Pope Francis has guided the Church so as to make her more synodal in character, which is why another Synod of Bishops already deals with the issue of synodality and is committed to find its appropriate shape. It is vital to analyse thoroughly the origins of this matter since only then it will be possible to deal with it correctly and to apply it in the mission of salvation pursued by the Church. In the teachings of pope Francis we can find clearly defined principles which may constitute a foundation for correctly understood synodality which can be incorporated in the life of the Church on different levels of her activity. These principles constitute an appropriate preparation for the present Synod of Bishops and the appropriate orientation for its proceedings and particular undertakings.

Published: June 2022

Vedic maths is an ancient mathematical theory based on 16 sutras that has a unique computation technique. We employ the fourteenth sutra, 'Urdhva Tiryakbhyam', from the 16 sutras. Multiplication can be done 'vertically and crosswise' using this sutra. The creation of a high-speed Vedic Multiplier based on ancient Indian Vedic Mathematics principles that have been tweaked to boost efficiency. Power, area, and latency are the three fundamental restrictions in modern VLSI technological advancements. Multipliers are used in high-speed arithmetic logic units, multiplier and accumulate units, and other similar applications. With the rising limits on latency, the design of faster multiplications is becoming increasingly important. Many changes are being done to improve speed. Vedic multipliers based on Vedic Mathematics are among them. Power, area, and latency are the three fundamental restrictions in modern VLSI technological advancements. CMOS (Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) designs take up more space and use more energy. Power dissipation causes an IC to heat up, which has a direct impact on its reliability and performance. Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) technology reduces the size, propagation delay, and power consumption of digital circuits while also lowering logic complexity as compared to traditional CMOS and existing pass transistor logic approaches. We compared a 2x2 Vedic multiplier based on the GDI and mGDI (Modified GDI) techniques in this study. In comparison to the GDI approach, the mGDI technology employs much less transistors. The Vedic multiplier is implemented in the cadence virtuoso tool, on 180nm and 90nm technology.

-In the devastating situation of the pandemic that hit the world in 2019 and still continues to haunt the
health ecosystems around, Hospitals and Medical Shops were the only allowed as essential services to continue in
the wake of the nationwide lockdown.
Patients hyped up the place making such places a breeding ground for Virus free-flow. Relatives, friends,
caretakers etc. who assisted the patient were on a continuous verge to catch the virus despite taking heavy
precautionary measures. Such circumstances were even more challenging for the healthcare workers, front-desk
departments, patient handling staffs and of course the doctors in case of hospitals, who were managing a number of
patients at the same time.
In case of medical supply shops that were assisting such hospitals with the required essentials were compelled to
handle number of customers at the same time increasing their risk towards catching the Virus.
Mitigation mechanism for such person to person contact in abnormal circumstances like a pandemic where
inhaling, touching or speaking near a person in the ambit of 2 meters of distance possessed risk of contracting the
virus, Such Mitigation mechanism were absent.
To Mitigate such Circumstances of person to person contact where a distance of 2 meters is hard to implement and
where opening up of mask to speak up or touching devices such as computers to complete
transactions/communication, Voice Controlled Display Board was the idea that put shadow on the curbing out of
situations as such.
Voice Controlled Display Board not only reduced the person to person contact but also helped complete
transactions/communications remotely. The presence of both the parties is not required as the notice board is
handled by a remote/distanced place which transfers communicated voice into displayed form to the receiving side.
Being Used in real-time environment the device requires just an electric supply which enables the device they have

Hurricanes are the heaviest forces in nature that causes huge destruction in the ecosystem by producing strong winds and
floods also called tropical cyclones. These cyclones lead to the loss of lives, destroy nature, and damage infrastructure and property.
Many measures are taken to help victims of the disaster and reduce the damage caused by the disaster. But a difficulty arose to
analyze the vast data that is released on social media. Satellite imagery is used for the detection of such damages due to its ability to
cover large local and temporary locations. But the actual manual detection is wrong and not accurate. This paper covers the use of
Machine Learning techniques to determine the place that can be affected by a hurricane. We use a dataset to predict a hurricane. In
the existing system, they use algorithms such as Resent, Linear & logistic regression, and CNN. In this paper, we use the availability
and readiness of satellite imagery to improve the efficiency and accuracy of detection by image separation algorithms. Satellite
imagery to predict whether a particular area will be affected by the hurricane or not. Algorithms like SVM, Naive Bayes classifier,
and polynomial regression are used for better performance and higher accuracy. And the pre-trained model, Alexnet method for
training the data.

Feeling Fit and Looking Good: The Impact of Materialism, Peer Approval and Sex Appeal on Youth Consumer Perceptions towards Fitness Studio Advertising
Authors: Poon Stephen T.F.
Published: June 2022

This paper addresses young Malaysian consumers’ perceptions and marketplace behaviour through advertising for aspirational and lifestyle consumption. The aim is to study the impact of aspirational advertising on materialism, peer approval, sex appeal, and body image. The literature review uses marketing and social theories, while the appeals of emotional advertising will be discussed through a case study analysis examining how Malaysian fitness advertisements on digital and social media impact youth attitudes towards physical appearance and through capturing emotional experiences and their association with materialistic values, peer approval and self-image. Findings present a cultural perspective in understanding the current standards of ethical decision-making and what factors are relevant as lifestyle aspects of ethical choices and decision-making for fitness brands among youth consumer market segments. It was found that aspirational advertising for fitness brands in Malaysia is designed to build perceptions that personal consumption choices represent values such as social and peer approval, with less emphasis on materialistic values and body image. This demonstrates that advertising may influence some aspects of materialist, aspirational consumption choices, but peer pressure and cultural values have strong implications on youth consumption behaviour. Some practical recommendations are suggested for marketing practitioners and consumer behaviour researchers to invest, in optimising the power of social media marketing and advertising.

This survey is devoted to recently obtained results on finite homogeneousmetric spaces. The main subject of discussion is the classification of regular and semiregular polytopes in Euclidean spacesby whether or not their vertex sets have the normal homogeneity property or the Clifford - Wolf homogeneity property.Every finite homogeneous metric subspace of an Euclidean space represents the vertex set of a compact convex polytope with the isometry group that is transitive on the set of vertices, moreover, all these vertices lie on some sphere. Consequently, the study of such subsets is closely related to the theory of convex polytopes in Euclidean spaces. The normal generalized homogeneity and the Clifford - Wolf homogeneity describe more stronger properties than the homogeneity. Therefore, it is natural to first check the presence of these properties for the vertex sets of regular and semiregular polytopes. In addition to the classification results, the paper contains a description of the main tools for the study of the relevant objects.

Рассматривается многоточечная краевая задача для нелинейной нормальной системы обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений с быстро осциллирующей по времени правой частью. Некоторые слагаемые правой части могут иметь большую амплитуду - пропорциональную квадратному корню из частоты осцилляций. Для этой зависящей от большого параметра (высокой частоты осцилляций) задачи обоснован метод усреднения Крылова - Боголюбова. Именно, для указанной задачи, которую называют возмущенной, построена предельная (усредненная) многоточечная краевая задача и обоснован предельный переход (т. е. доказана асимптотическая близость решений возмущенной и усредненной задач) в гельдеровом пространстве определенных на рассматриваемом временном отрезке вектор-функций. Используемый в данной работе подход опирается на классическую теорему о неявной функции в банаховом пространстве; этот подход в теории метода усреднения впервые применил, по-видимому, И. Б. Симоненко (см. указанную в статье соответствующую ссылку) при обосновании этого метода для абстрактных параболических уравнений в случае задачи Коши и задачи о периодических по времени решениях. Метод усреднения Крылова - Боголюбова является одним из важнейших асимптотических методов. Он широко известен и разработан с большой полнотой для различных классов уравнений. В многочисленных работах, в которых рассматриваются системы обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений, изучаются, в основном, задача Коши на отрезке и задачи о периодических, почти периодических и общих ограниченных на всей временной оси решениях. Краевые задачи - особенно многоточечные - представлены в литературе еще недостаточно.
Existence Results for a Dirichlet Boundary Value Problem Involving the p(x)-Laplacian Operator
Authors: Hammou M.A.
Published: June 2022

The aim of this paper is to establish the existence of weak solutions, in$W_0^{1,p(x)}(\Omega)$, for a Dirichlet boundary value problem involving the$p(x)$-Laplacian operator. Our technical approach is based on the Berkovits topologicaldegree theory for a class of demicontinuous operators of generalized $(S_+)$ type. Wealso use as a necessary tool the properties of variable Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces, andspecially properties of $p(x)$-Laplacian operator. In order to usethis theory, we will transform our problem into an abstractHammerstein equation of the form $v+S\circ Tv=0$ in the reflexiveBanach space $W^{-1,p'(x)}(\Omega)$ which is the dual space of$W_0^{1,p(x)}(\Omega)$. Note also that the problem can be seen as anonlinear eigenvalue problem of the form$Au=\lambda u,$ where$Au:=-\Div(|\nabla u|^{p(x)-2}\nabla u)-f(x,u)$. When this problemadmits a~non-zero weak solution $u$, $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue ofit and $u$ is an associated eigenfunction.

Интерес к уравнениям дробного порядка, как обыкновенным, так и с частнымипроизводными, последние десятилетия неуклонно растет. Это связано с необходимостьюмоделирования процессов, в которых текущее состояние существенно зависит от предыдущихсостояний процесса, т. е. так называемые системы с <<остаточной>> памятью. В работерассматривается задача Коши для одномерного, однородного уравнения Эйлера - Пуассона -Дарбу с дифференциальным оператором дробного порядка по времени, который представляет собойлевосторонний бесселев оператор дробного порядка. При этом, для пространственной переменнойиспользуется обычный дифференциальный оператор второго порядка. Показана связь междупреобразованием Мейера и Лапласа, полученная с использованием преобразования Пуассона,которая представляет собой частный случай соотношения с преобразованием Обрешкова.Доказана теорема, которая определяет условия существования решения рассматриваемой задачи.При доказательстве теоремы существования решения использовалось преобразование Мейера.При этом решение задачи представляется в явном виде через обобщенную функцию Грина.Построенная для решения рассматриваемой задачи функция Грина определяется через обобщеннуюгипергеометрическую H-функцию Фокса.

Приведена постановка коэффициентной обратной задачи термоупругости для конечных неоднородных тел. Для решения нелинейной обратной задачи на основе итерационного процесса получены операторные уравнения 1-го рода в трансформантах Лапласа. Решение обратных задач термоупругости в оригиналах, основано на обращении операторных соотношений в трансформантах при помощи теорем операционного исчисления о свертке и дифференцирования оригинала. Рассмотрена процедура реконструкции термомеханических характеристик стержня, слоя, цилиндра. Начальное приближение для итерационного процесса находят на основе двух подходов. При первом подходе начальное приближение находят в классе положительных ограниченных линейных функций. Коэффициенты линейных функций определяют из условия минимизации функционала невязки. Второй подход нахождения начального приближения основан на методе алгебраизации. Проведены вычислительные эксперименты по восстановлению как монотонных, так и немонотонных функций. Восстанавливалась одна характеристика при известных остальных. Монотонные функции восстанавливаются лучше немонотонных. В случае реконструкции характеристик слоистых материалов наибольшая погрешность возникала в окрестностях точек сопряжения. Процедура реконструкции оказалась устойчива к зашумлению входной информации.
Types of Crimes Punishable by Imprisonment in Russian Law of the 16–17th Centuries
Authors: БЕЛОВА Н.А.
Published: June 2022

В статье рассматривается процесс расширения спектра преступлений, за совершение которых нормативными актами Русского государства XVI–XVII вв. (Судебником Ивана IV, Соборным уложением, Новоуказными статьями о татебных, разбойных и убийственных делах, иными грамотами и указами) предусматривалось тюремное заключение. Отмечается, что данная уголовная санкция применялась в качестве самостоятельного и дополнительного наказания, а также меры пресечения. Делается вывод о том, что увеличение числа преступлений, за совершение которых предусматривалось лишение свободы, отражало тенденции государственной политики, направленной на борьбу с преступностью в условиях усиления централизации власти.

The article considers a process of expanding the range of crimes punishable by imprisonment in Russian normative acts of the 16–17th centuries, such as the Judicial Code of Ivan the Terrible, the Cathedral Code, New Decree articles on criminal, robbery and murderous cases, other charters and decrees. It is noted that this criminal sanction was used as an independent and additional punishment, as well as a preventive measure. It is concluded that the increased number of crimes for which deprivation of liberty was envisaged reflected trends of the state policy aimed at combating crime in conditions of increasing centralization of power.

Published: June 2022

В статье рассмотрены нормативно-правовые основы и механизмы получения иностранными военнопленными периода Второй мировой войны, содержавшимися в лагерях НКВД–МВД СССР, денежного довольствия и хранения ими материальных ценностей. Показаны изменение порядка начисления денежных средств, организация материального стимулирования военнопленных, занятых на производстве, практика распоряжения денежными средствами и материальными ценностями в условиях заключения, трудности организации контроля за их учетом, расходованием и хранением. Автор приходит к выводу о том, что организация денежного довольствия являлась важным фактором жизнеобеспечения военнопленных и показателем соблюдения Советским Союзом основных положений международных конвенций об обращении с военнопленными

The article discusses the regulatory framework and mechanisms for obtaining monetary allowances and storage of material values by foreign war prisoners of the period of World War II, who were held in the camps of the NKVD– Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR. The article shows changes in the order of accrual of funds, organization of material incentives for war prisoners employed in production, practice to dispose monetary and tangible assets in conditions of imprisonment, difficulties of organizing control over their accounting, spending and storage. The author comes to the conclusion that the organization of monetary allowances was an important factor in the life support of war prisoners and an indicator of the Soviet Union’s compliance with key provisions of international conventions on treatment of prisoners of war.
