Chronic diffuse liver diseases (CDLD) of various etiologies remain a serious socio-economic and clinical-epidemiological health problem. Every year more than 1 million people die from cirrhosis of the liver of various etiology all over the world. According to the results of a study by a group of authors, it was found that in the Siberian Federal District there is an unfavorable situation in terms of gastroenterological mortality, in particular, hepatological mortality. CCM is characterized by lengthening of the QT interval, electromechanical dyssynchronization, and chronotropic insufficiency. The duration of the QTc interval in the subgroup of patients with liver cirrhosis who received basic therapy and the drug lisinopril (Diroton) was (418.21 ± 2.74 ms) and was significantly lower than in the subgroup of patients receiving only basic therapy. Evaluating the parameters of transthoracic echocardiography among patients with liver cirrhosis, it was noted that during treatment with basic drugs in combination with lisinopril (Diroton), the volume of LV EDV significantly decreased (p < 0.05). The appointment of an ACE inhibitor lisinopril to patients with cirrhosis of the liver as part of complex therapy leads to an improvement in general well-being, a decrease in shortness of breath, an increase in exercise tolerance, an improvement in basic laboratory parameters, as well as an improvement in some morphometric parameters (EDV) and cardiac electrical systole.

The recommendation of this research is the collaboration between Posbindu Nusa Indah II with the Nutrition Department to conduct counseling for hypertension sufferers.
Bridging the gap between theory and practice for adopting meaningful collaborative BIM processes in infrastructure projects, utilising multi-criteria decision making (MCDM)
Authors: Pidgeon Andrew , Dawood Nashwan
Published: November 2021

Existing research spanning academic and industrial literature shows that due to the ever-increasing number of descriptions of BIM on top of a saturation of standards methods and procedures, with little evidence on how to achieve goals for truly collaborative BIM, a gap is forming between theoretical and applied BIM, and thusly reducing the potential advantages and benefits of implemented BIM. Objectives set as part of this research, post systematic review of both academic and industrial literature were to firstly define a common meaning of what collaborative BIM is through the development of a syntax to support a hypothetical infrastructure project utilising academic and industry BIM experts. This was then followed by bringing to the front the inefficiencies in their current form and define how the fundamental parts of BIM are assigned and then prioritised both qualitatively and quantitively, in order to enhance information clarity (goals and objective achievement) and inconsistency reduction towards better ways of implementation. Conclusive findings derived from this research states that information management was determined by the focus group in being the key and top-level component in achieving collaborative BIM, which was determined via the contribution and development of an objective focused implementation framework adapted from the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). This methodology increases the certainty of goal attainment for project team members, by presenting them with a dynamic qualitative and quantitative methodology that guides, determines and agrees the objective focus in an adaptable method through focal clarity of the intended use and what is required to be achieved through the adoption of collaborative BIM for a range of stakeholders. In summary, the research findings herein assert the need and benefit of objectifying collectively agreed focus on the desire of collaborative BIM including a range of stakeholders. Furthermore, inconsistencies towards agreements of standardisation and quality assurance are revealed, which is countered and supported by the developed novel methodology, in order to reduce the impact of such lack of consensus going forwards towards seeking better understanding and thus implementation of collaborative BIM.
A digital twin uses classification system for urban planning & city infrastructure management
Authors: Al-Sehrawy Ramy , Kumar Bimal , Watson Richard
Published: November 2021

Recently, the concept of Digital Twin [DT] has pervaded the field of urban planning and city infrastructure management. This paper first affirms that the knowledge created by virtue of DT real-world implementation, through undertaking various DT pilot projects, case studies and proof-of-concept initiatives, comprises the ‘know-how’ and genuine practical experience upon which the DT research and practices can further develop and mature. It then argues that this type of knowledge is poorly captured and mostly left neither realized nor fully utilized. This significantly hinders the rate by which DT practices within the urban and built environments evolve. While acknowledging the benefits of the ongoing work by many DT researchers, including enumeration, categorization and detailing of multiple DT use cases, such endeavours arguably suffer from three profound weaknesses causing the inefficient sharing and transfer of DT ‘know-how’ knowledge amongst DT stakeholders. The three limitations are: (a) lack of DT standard terminology constituting a common DT language; (b) lack of standard and clear methods to enable documenting DT projects and making the ‘know-how’ explicit to the rest of the DT market; and (c) the lack of an established and adequate DT use cases classifications system to guide DT practitioners in searching for and retrieving the previously accomplished DT case studies that are most relevant to their interests and context. Correspondingly, three solutions are proposed constituting a three-pronged DT Uses Classification System [DTUCS]: prong-A (i.e. Standardize-to-Publish); prong-B (i.e. Detail-to-Prove); and prong-C (i.e. Classify-to-Reach). DTUCS is developed using a meta-methodology encapsulating a systematic literature review and three distinct sub-methodologies. The paper concludes with an overview of the implications of DTUCS along with recommendations on how it can be further validated and improved.
Using immersive video technology for construction management content delivery: a pilot study
Authors: Shojaei Alireza , Rokooei Saeed , Mahdavian Amirsaman , Carson Lee , Ford George
Published: November 2021

Construction management is considered a hands-on field of study which requires good spatial and visual cognitive ability. Virtual reality and other innovative immersive technologies have been used to facilitate experiential learning and to improve students’ spatial cognitive abilities. Virtual environments have been criticized due to the gamified look of the environment. Static panorama pictures have been previously used to bring a better sense of reality and immersion at the same time in construction education. However, they cannot provide a continuous experience, and the sense of presence (immersion) is not ideal either. Immersive videos such as 360-degree videos can address this shortfall by providing a continuous experience and a better sense of presence. The use of this technology in construction education field is very limited. As a result, this study investigated a pilot experiment where a combination of 360, 180 3D, and flat videos was incorporated as an educational instrument in delivering construction management content. The content was recorded using different configurations from different body postures to further investigate the optimal way of utilizing this technology for content delivery. The content of the videos was focused on construction means and methods. Students reviewed the content using head-mounted display devices and laptop screens and answered a survey designed to capture their perception and experience of using this technology as an educational tool in the construction management field. The results show a positive perception toward using immersive videos in construction education. Furthermore, the students preferred the head-mounted display as their favorite delivery method. As a result, the prospect of incorporating immersive videos to enhance construction management education is promising.
Feasibility of implementing IPD approach for infrastructure projects in developing countries
Authors: Khanna Manas , Faris Elghaish Faris , McIlwaine Stephen , Tara Brooks Tara
Published: November 2021

Alternative project delivery approaches have been proposed to overcome the inefficiencies of conventional delivery methods such as design-bid-build. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has recently emerged as a feasible substitute to traditional project delivery approaches. Despite widespread awareness of the benefits of IPD in integration with information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance the delivery of construction projects, IPD implementation has so far been sluggish in developing countries such as India. The feasibility of implementing IPD approach and applying its principles is investigated in this study. It assesses the maturity of delivery techniques, and the potential benefits and limitations of using IPD for infrastructure projects in developing countries, using India as a case study. This study has been carried out using an in-depth investigation of the literature in combination with a qualitative method involving interviews with ten highly experienced BIM professionals from the Indian AEC sector. The findings of this study have revealed that adopting integrated project delivery while leveraging the BIM process in conjunction with ICT has the potential to effectively deliver mega infrastructure projects in developing countries. The resistance to change, lack of experience and skills, and lack of awareness among project owners are recognized as the primary obstacles to IPD adoption. The main benefits for practice following adoption could include enhanced project delivery, more effective coordination among stakeholders, and greater transparency with cost and time savings through all stages of the project. It is recommended that the regulatory bodies establish governing standards and frameworks, amend regulations to accept IPD concepts, and upskill the workforce through training and knowledge transfer for its successful adoption. One novel aspect of this study may be recognized since most previous research has focused on limitations, benefits, and adoption frameworks for IPD whereas there has been no definitive study on the practicality of IPD combined with BIM and the use of ICT for successful infrastructure project delivery in developing countries. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by serving as an exemplary paper for future studies on the adoption of BIM and ICT approaches such as cloud computing, blockchain, IoT, and mixed realities to deliver projects with integrated project delivery. Furthermore, it provides a deeper understanding of the future of this delivery approach in developing nations.

This study proposes a hybrid approach for the selection of students employed part-time at the various departments of a university. There are both qualitative and quantitative criteria for the selection of students. Thus, to handle the subjective assessment in the decision-making process, this study considers developing DEMATEL-modified ANP and MULTIMOORA. An empirical case study applied at Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department in Turkey is exhibited to test the effectiveness of the proposed decision-making method, which provides a fair selection considering three main and seven sub-criteria. These criteria are determined in accordance with the previous experience of the commission members and the principles which are listed in the Administration Guideline of the university. One among five candidates is selected by a novel hybrid approach. The obtained results and all scenarios in sensitivity analysis based on the changing of the decision makers’ weights and the changing of the dimension weights indicate that the S3 student remains the most preferred alternative, and the S4 student mostly is the most suitable alternative, respectively.

Zu Sandhi-Erscheinungen im älteren Ägyptisch. Überlegungen zum Vorkommen in funerären Texten
Authors: Wiechmann Yannick A.
Published: November 2021

“Regarding Sandhi Phenomena in Earlier Egyptian. Considerations on the Occurrence in funerary Texts” - The term Sandhi is used in linguistics to cover sound changes which occur between two words or morphemes. Sandhi phenomena appear in many languages and are to some degree well attested in the Earlier Egyptian language, especially in funerary texts. The nature of those phenomena is explored and some already proposed Sandhis are reviewed. Especially the pronoun wi seems often to be subject of Sandhi phenomena: After suffix pronouns ending with -n it can become nwi, after n.tt it can become twi. In both cases the ending consonant of the first word, which was dropped out over time, is preserved by the Sandhi. Although both phenomena are known for more than hundred years, but only the first one was already analyzed as Sandhi. While nwi became a new form in “Égyptien de tradition”, combining the function of the dependent and the independent pronoun, twi was grammaticalized and from Late Egyptian on used as proclitic pronoun tw=i in adverbial (or durative) clauses. Thus the research on pronominal Sandhi phenomena can provide important insights not only in phonology, but in the history of the Egyptian language and grammaticalization processes too.

Published: November 2021

Three tests of phylogenetic including likelihood-joining tree, neighbour-joining tree, and minimum evolution tree have been used based on sox3 gene. Phylogenetic analysis was used to detect the genetic affinity and common ancestors for selected species that belong to the same or different families. This study showed the most appropriate methods for testing the genetic affinity among species and the methodology of each test according to the requirement of molecular applications. Secondary RNA predicted structure and minimum free energy were also included in this study because of their contribution to the detection of the orthologous gene and variance in RNA folding among species related to the different families. The genetic distance in the studied populations was calculated to know the most appropriate way to find out the genetic similarity among the studied species. The low distance-variance value of each group indicated significant genetic affinity among the species of the same family, this result is more consistent with the test of maximum-likelihood tree indicating the validity of this test to measure the genetic affinity among species that have common ancestors.
SETTLEMENT SYSTEM OF THE DNIEPER LEFT-BANK FOREST-STEPPE OF THE SECOND HALF OF 8th — MIDDLE OF 6th CENTURIES BCE
Authors: Grechko D. S.
Published: November 2021

Dnieper Left-Bank Forest-Steppe region in the Early Iron Age was inhabited in several stages. For the first time, the agricultural population appears in the Zhabotyn period. Settlements that emerged at this time would become the centres of some settlement structures in the Early Scythian period. There are no burial sites of the settled population of Pre-Scythian times in the basin of Vorskla and Psel rivers. The few burials of nomads of Pre-Scythian time are synchronous to this group of settlements with ashhills. These assemblages, except Butenky, have no signs of militarization of the population of the Post-Zrubna culture, which have left in the Forest-Steppe. It’s likely that these two groups of populations coexisted peacefully, occupying separate ecological niches.
The development of this population in relatively calm military and political conditions could have caused a demographic explosion and we have developed settlement structure in the middle of 7th century BCE. It represented by «cluster» of settlements with ashhills, which was united by a single burial mound necropolis.
Today, it may be considered densely populated territory between Vorskla and Psel rivers with an agricultural population from the Dnieper Right-Bank region in the Early Scythian time. At that time, nomadic groups are emerging in the region, some of which participated in Asia Minor campaigns. Their burial monuments are mainly identified at the routes of their movement and places of frequent stops (winterings, etc.) — the Sula river region, north-western Vorskla river region (Kup’ievakha, Kolomak). The appearence of the settlement at the place of Western fortification of Bil’sk hillfort Western fortification also connected with the fact that exactly nomads probably chose this strategic place as a wintering at the intersection of communications roads. Thus, the ethnical and cultural history of the Dnieper Left-bank Forest-Steppe of that time connected with close interaction of Vorskla river’ farmers with different groups of Iranian-speaking nomads, which were the decisive force in the region and had control over the settled population.
IRANIAN MYTH ABOUT THE ROYAL AUTHORITY AND THE PECTORAL FROM TOVSTA MOGYLA
Authors: Polidovych Yu. B.
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of images on a gold pectoral from the Tovsta Mogyla of the middle of the 4th century BC. The product has a well-thought-out structure (fig. 1). The main friezes are the internal and external ones. The central axis on which the most important scenes are located is highlighted. The arrangement of the scenes inside the friezes is subject to pendulum symmetry (fig. 2). The main theme of the external frieze is the death. The central scene embodies the triumph of death, but with each next scene it recedes, and in scenes with a hare and grasshoppers one can watch the transition of the theme to its opposite. The main theme of the internal frieze is life. The development of life is shown through the growth of cubs from the moment of birth to the beginning of adult life. Figures of birds on the frieze edges indicate a change in theme. The story of man, which also has its development, is interwoven into the internal frieze. Its beginning is in the central scene where two men create the clothes from sheep’s clothing. Such clothes in Iranian mythology symbolized the royal khwarrah. It can be assumed that the central characters are the gods who create the royal khwarrah and the happy fate of the future ruler. Such gods could be the Iranian Verethragna and Mithra, corresponding to the Scythian «Ares» and Oitosyros. In the three scenes of the upper frieze the myth about royal power is enclosed. Its main motives are following: predetermining the birth of the king and his happy fate, birth, raising by shepherds, being at the headquarters of the ruler after reaching adulthood and gaining royal power. The appearance of this mythology in the Iranian environment is probably associated with the accession of Cyrus the Great and the Achaemenid dynasty. In the Scythian environment it was called upon to legitimize the power of the ruler-owner of the pectoral. Apparently the myth was a reference to the legendary times of Kolaxais, the ancestor of the Paralates, Scythian warriors and kings. In such a situation the pectoral was conceived as one of the visible incarnations of the royal family khwarrah, telling by means of iconography about its origin.
THE SECOND STAGE OF SARMATIAN SETTLEMENT IN WALLACHIA
Authors: Oţa L.
Published: November 2021

The aim of this paper is to discuss the features of the graves that can be attributed to the second stage of Sarmatian settlement in Wallachia. The first stage of arrival of the Sarmatians in Wallachia can be dated in the last decade of the 1st century AD and the first decades of the 2nd century AD. The second stage of arrival of the Sarmatians in Wallachia, linked to the Marcomannic Wars, begins in the late 2nd century AD and continues during the following century. Sarmatians entered Wallachia not as enemies of the Roman Empire, but as allies always supervised by the Roman troops. A number of 153 graves can be linked with the second stage of Sarmatian settlement in Wallachia, whose territorial distribution, although extended in comparison with the first stage, does not uniformly cover the entire territory of Wallachia. The features of Sarmatian burials are discussed in detail: grave layout (types of interments, orientation, position of the deceased, age and sex of the individuals), main categories of grave goods (pottery, adornments, dress accessories, toilet implements, household tools, weapons). Based on this analysis, the main features of the funerary ritual are emphasized. The tendency to uniform the orientation and the position of the deceased individuals can be clearly observed. As regards the funerary inventory, not only the diversity of the categories of items is visible, but also their deposit in higher numbers in the burials. Dacian pottery is deposited even more often than the handmade Sarmatian pottery, but the Roman imports not only register the same low frequency, but also do not differ too much compared to the previous stage. A clear change in the display of the status during the period between the late 2nd century AD and the middle of the following century can be noticed: the tumuli lose their significance as status markers, grave goods with significant value disappear, possible higher status is emphasized by association of several items. Against a general background of diversification and increase in the number of items chosen to be deposited inside the grave, a real series of female burials stands out. The loss of the Roman control over Wallachia resulted in the sudden decrease, until almost extinction, of the number of Sarmatian discoveries here.
GRAVES WITH SARMATIAN FEATURES AT THE GRAVE FIELDS OF THE LATE ROMAN PERIOD VOYTENKI AND ZACHEPILOVKA: COMPARATIVE CHARACTERIZATION
Authors: Lyubichev M. V. , Schultze E.

One of the most important problems in the study of the Chernyakhiv culture is the study of cultural traditions, among them the Sarmatian one. A comparative study of the manifestation of the signs of the Sarmatian element on the «side» and «dune» cemeteries in the region is important, for which Voytenki and Zachepilovka are now undoubtedly «basic» monuments. When identifying burials of the Late Scythian / Sarmatian cultural tradition, the presence and combination of «indisputable» and «probable» signs is taken into account. Sarmatian cultural tradition at cemeteries of the Chernyakhiv culture Voytenki and Zachepilovka in the Dnieper-Donets forest-steppe are manifested predominantly in the same way, but has also distinctive features. Both cemeteries have graves in niche pit. In the graves of Zachepilovka more hand-made vessels have been detected und there they have been found even in cremation graves. At both cemeteries a combination of «indisputable» Late Scythian / Sarmatian signs is rather rare, the «indisputable» signs are supplemented by «probable» ones. Late Scythian / Sarmatian features are more significant at the Zachepilovka cemetery. Some models of the compatibility of Sarmatian features in the burials are presented, which were also observed at the cemeteries of the Chernyakhiv culture in the Dnieper-Donets forest-steppe. In the context of the study of the Late Scythian / Sarmatian tradition in the Chernyakhiv culture, the issue of the evolution of the content of the rite of the construction in niche pit from the «ethnic» to the social is also relevant.
