Community Supervision in the Development of the North Bandung Region
Authors: Sumaryana Asep
Published: October 2023

The North Bandung Area (KBU) is experiencing rapid development, despite its designation as a water conservation area. This designation holds potential for reforestation and benefits the ecological interests of the local community and downstream areas. However, despite the implementation of binding policies aimed at preserving the area, it is evident that damage has occurred. This research adopts a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to investigate the reasons behind this phenomenon. The research findings indicate a continuous weakening of social supervision, attributed to changes in community orientation and a lack of courage to protect the environment. The community's involvement in social supervision could be improved, but the weakening government protection exacerbates the situation. Consequently, the neglect persists, and some individuals exploit the situation for their own interests.

Published: October 2023

Situ Cisanti is one of the hundreds of ecotourism objects in Indonesia. The local Government's ecotourism development continues to intensify by involving the surrounding community in Tarumajaya Village. This study focuses on the role of the community around Situ Cisanti in the development of ecotourism to improve the local economy. Using qualitative methods and interviewing some participants, the results of this study found that the community around Situ Cisanti has actively participated in ecotourism development activities. This is evidenced by the high level of community enthusiasm when participating in community role optimization activities organized by the Government and local managers. In addition, in terms of the economic aspect, the community around Situ Cisanti shows an increase. This is demonstrated by the concrete actions of the community who have become economic actors around the Situ Cisanti ecotourism object. The community takes advantage of the existence of tourism in the form of stalls, culinary, coffee, souvenirs and homestays owned by local communities. The most use of ecotourism is in the form of recruitment of casual daily employees, construction workers, shop businesses, coffee businesses, culinary businesses, souvenir businesses, parking businesses and motorcycle taxis. This research contributes mainly to researchers and policy makers about the integration of community participation management in the development of ecotourism in various locations in Indonesia.
Role of Treasury Single Account in Enhancing Transparency, Good Governance and Curbing Corrupt Practices in the Nigerian Public Service
Authors: Sambo Usman
Published: October 2023

The Treasury Single Account (TSA) was introduced by the global international financial institutions specifically the World and IMF to help countries block leakages and other wastages that are associated with corrupt practices in the management of the public funds by the public servants. The TSA was embraced by the Nigerian Government with the same objective of blocking leakages and fostering transparency in public services. This has been behind the background of the allegations of corrupt practices, mismanagement, leakages, waste and squandering of public resources by the public servants who dubiously maintained several accounts for one ministry or agency. This study investigated the role played by TSA in the promotion of transparency, good governance, and preventing corrupt practices. The study used documented sources for assembling data involving the existing body of literature after thoroughly identifying the clear gap for contribution to knowledge. The sources obtained were discussed using empiricism where statistical data were analysed on the impact of TSA on preventing leakages and corrupt practices. The study discovered that the introduction of TSA in the Nigerian public service was a good reform and a success in minimising dubious transactions, corrupt practices, and the operation of suspicious redundant accounts by Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) of Government. The study therefore, recommends that there is a need for full automation and digitalisation of governmental processes in Nigeria to reflect in other sectors of governance which can help in preventing leakages, malpractices, corrupt practices, and misgovernance.
Community-Police Relationships in Crime Reduction in the Tzaneen Area of the Limpopo Province (South Africa)
Authors: Mokhomole Tumiso D. , Olutola Adewale A.
Published: October 2023

This article explores the consequences of police-community relationships for crime reduction in the Tzaneen area of the Limpopo province of South Africa. This is relevant because even though the South African Police Service (SAPS) typically works under pressure and under difficult conditions of lack of resources and internal conflicts, the Tzaneen community still believes that it is the responsibility of the police to ensure a lower crime rate and a safer community. Presently, there are ineffective crime reduction programmes in the Tzaneen area, despite efforts such as ‘community policing forums’, ‘sector crime forums’, ‘take a Girl Child to Work’, and ‘Adopt a Cop’, which are practised in certain community areas in Tzaneen. Notwithstanding all these measures, the crime rate is high in the Tzaneen area. A qualitative interview method was used to collect data. Eighteen participants were interviewed from a selected panel of experts from the SAPS, community leaders, non-governmental organisations, and business communities by making use of open-ended questions. The study adopted purposive sampling. The study revealed several reasons for the high crime rate in the Tzaneen policing area, such as police corruption, lack of adequate communication between the police and the Tzaneen community, lack of community knowledge of the functions of the criminal justice system, and low morale on the part of policing organisations as some of the major reasons for the poor police-community relationship in the Tzaneen area of Limpopo. The study recommends ways that can strengthen the police-community relationship and reduce the crime rate in the Tzaneen area of Limpopo.

Authors: Rumerung Dientje , Siaila Steven
Published: October 2023

Ecotourism is tourism development that prioritizes the sustainability of tourist objects in a sustainable manner that arises as a response to natural conditions that experience over-exploitation and are uncontrollable which cause damage to tourist objects that threaten their sustainability. Ecotourism is a form of tourism that takes place at tourist objects without damaging or disturbing the sustainability of these tourism objects. Semenanjung Nusaniwe is in Nusaniwe District in Ambon City, has more than 22 tourist objects that have been developed but have not been touched by development. Such conditions require analysis that will guide future developments. This writing is based on the results of research on 225 respondents to visitors to tourist attractions, as well as people who live around tourist attractions. The analysis used is the pattern of estimating the economic value of ecotourism based on the travel cost method (TCM). The determination of the socio-economic factors that affect the cost of travel to the Nusaniwe Peninsula area is tested using the Linear Regression Method. The results of the study show that many tourist objects in Nusaniwe District have been identified, and some have not been identified. This tourism object is always visited by the community and can generate income. The highest consumer surplus value is in the Tanjung Batu Konde Beach Tourist Attraction Object (ODTW), which is IDR. 208,355.00, and the lowest is at Sumber Jaya Beach, namely IDR. 12,545.50. The highest total economic value is in Tanjung Batu Konde, namely IDR. 352,033,800.00, and the lowest is also found at Sumber Jaya Beach, namely IDR. 8,480,758.00. Starting from the results of the calculations above, it can be concluded that if the tourism objects in Nusaniwe Sub district can be well developed, it is certain that each OTDW will be able to contribute to increasing income for the community around the tourist attraction as well as for the Village Government, State Government and even the City Government.

Published: October 2023

Information and communication technology has a significant impact on various aspects. Its developments affect daily life, and also give a new color to the political-security dynamics, especially in Indonesia. This depends on the purpose of using information and communication technology, which if not regulated, will become a double-edged sword. The typology of threats is also increasingly varied and transforming, including in the context of security threats in the form of terrorism which involves many dimensions ranging from religion-based terrorism to cyber-based terrorism. The state's response to cyber terrorism as a new security threat phenomenon is examined in this paper in a balanced way using an inward-looking and outward-looking perspective. By using qualitative research methods and descriptive research types, the existing data related to what has been done by Indonesia are interpreted into the form of a governance conception in the context of countering cyber terrorism. Indonesia has identified domestic conditions to be able to optimize its resources. At the same time, Indonesia is also trying to improve its capabilities by conducting international cooperation. So that the governance of countering cyber terrorism in Indonesia still leaves several problems that need to be resolved, such as institutional barriers including organizational culture which is the key to coordination between institutions related to countering cyber terrorism in Indonesia.

Authors: Sokolovskaya O. , Valevskaya L.
Published: October 2023

The article provides a study of the current state of global soybean production, the dynamics of sown areas, yield and gross harvest of soybeans in Ukraine over the past five years. World soybean production is almost 352 million tons, and the leaders are always the USA, Brazil, and Argentina, which in 2017 collected a record 286 million tons of soybeans, which is 82% of world production. China (12.3 million tons), India (11.5 million tons) and Paraguay (10.3 million tons) are also among the leading producers. Ukraine was ranked 8th among the leading countries in soybean production. Also, soybeans have been in the leading positions in the domestic agricultural market for many years, along with grain crops, in export and processing for food and fodder purposes, and also have a strategically important role in ensuring the country's food and economic security. Soybean seeds contain 38–42% protein, 18–23% fat, 25–30% carbohydrates, as well as enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. Due to its rich and diverse chemical composition, soybean has no equal in terms of production growth rates, and it has long been widely used as a universal food, fodder and oil crop. The regions of the country with the largest sown areas of soybeans are given, and the place of Ukraine in the world market, both in terms of production and trade of soybeans, is clarified. Factors that should be taken into account when planning to increase the area under soybeans are given. Grain quality control is a complex process that includes a combination of various factors. However, this is a very important stage, as it makes it possible to make Ukrainian grain competitive on the world market. Studies of organoleptic and physicochemical quality indicators of soybean samples of the 2022 harvest are presented. It is shown that the test samples have the color and shape characteristic of normal soybean seeds, without musty, moldy and extraneous smell. The mass fraction of moisture, oil, the content of garbage and grain impurities do not exceed the normative values. Pest infestation was not detected in any of the studied samples. The mass fraction of protein in terms of dry matter in the experimental samples was 32.1–33.9, which does not correspond to DSTU 4964:2008. "Soy. Technical conditions" (the value should be at least 35%) and USDA requirements.
PROSPECTS OF THE USE OF NON-TRADITIONAL VEGETABLE RAW MATERIALS IN THE PRODUCTION OF CONFECTIONERY PRODUCTS
Authors: Usatiuk S. , Bozhko A.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the state of the confectionery market in Ukraine and the prospects for the use of non-traditional plant raw materials during their production. Confectionery products occupy a significant share in the total volume of the food industry and are characterized by a wide range. The production volume of flour confectionery products is 58% of the total number of confectionery products, and their daily consumption per capita is up to 500 g. The largest share is produced by three Ukrainian confectionery corporations, which entered the annual world ranking of the top 100 Candy Industry in 2022 – the corporation «Roshen», «Millennium» factory, «Konti» company. Non-traditional plant raw materials are increasingly used to enrich food products with useful properties and flavor them in the form of powders, pastes, infusions, sauces. Every year, the assortment of wild fruits, berries and plants, which were not used in Ukraine before, expands significantly. The Google Trends program was used to analyze the popularity of the keyword «sugar-free sweets», comparing the dynamics of «carob» and «cocoa powder». It was established that over the past 5 years, on average, 45–55% of consumers prefer «sweets without sugar», and over the past year three times more often they show a desire to consume products with «carob» than «cocoa powder» in such regions as Kyiv, Lviv, Vinnytsia, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk regions. The production technology of carob powder includes the following main stages: collecting carob pods, sorting, washing, drying, crushing, dividing into core (10%) and pulp (90%), roasting the pulp at different temperatures, grinding, sieving , packaging. Depending on the temperature conditions of roasting, carob powder is divided into light, medium, and dark types. The hierarchical structure of quality and safety indicators of carob powder consists of normative (organoleptic, physicochemical, microbiological indicators, toxic elements, radionuclides, mycotoxins, pesticides) and non-normative food indicators (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins). The analysis of domestic and foreign literary sources on the use of carob powder for the enrichment of confectionery products was carried out. Carob powder is often used as a substitute for cocoa powder, but it is more versatile than cocoa powder.

Authors: Sinelnikova Yuliya , Nizovskii  Alexander , Uvarov Nikolai
Published: October 2023

The use of nitrogen-doped carbon materials as electrodes in supercapacitors is a promising area of research. In this study highly-porous nitrogen-containing carbon materials were obtained by pyrolysis of melamine formaldehyde resin in the presence of nanocrystalline MgO as a hard template that was washed off after the pyrolysis. Magnesium citrate was used as a precursor for the synthesis of the template agent in situ during the pyrolysis of the resin. The obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, BET nitrogen adsorption method and Raman spectroscopy. The presence of nitrogen in the amount of 4 atomic percent was proved by XPS spectroscopy. The specific surface area was found to increase monotonically from 10 to 1300 m2/g with an increase in the content of magnesium citrate in the initial mixture. The samples showed high capacitance of 120 F/g in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte and can be used in supercapacitors.

Authors: Bedboudi H. , Debili Mohamed Yacine , Mathieu S. , Layachi F.
Published: October 2023

This study investigated the effects of a high-frequency (HF) magnetic induction process and heat treatment on the composition of rapidly cooled Al-Ni alloys. The results showed that the Al3Ni and AlNi phases were present in all compositions, including Al-40 wt.% Ni, 50 wt.% Ni, and 60 wt.% Ni in both initial and treated states. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to confirm these results. Heat treatment at 500°C for 1 h was found to be effective in producing the desired composition. In addition, we can spot the presence of a possible quasicrystalline phase close to the β-NiAl phase's (110) line in alloys containing 30 wt.% Ni to 60 wt.% Ni after an hour of heat treatment. The addition of Ni to aluminum increases its Vickers microhardness due to the redistribution of nickel after heat treatment and the decagonal quasi-crystalline phase.

Research on resilience model of UAV swarm based on complex network dynamics
Authors: Wei Kunlun , Zhang Tao , Zhang Chuanfu
Published: October 2023

The resilience of UAV swarms mainly revolves around ensuring stable and uninterrupted operations. Malicious attacks can implement the adverse impacts of potential threats through swarm communication links. In this context, the SIS (Susceptible → Infected → Susceptible) method is suitable for describing the information transmission within UAV swarms. An enhanced resilience model of the UAV swarm is proposed in this study, which incorporates the factors of self-dynamics, dynamics of topology, dynamics of information transmission, and SIS into the complex network model. The model proposed in this paper has the capability to effectively capture changes in the network topology as well as the dynamics of the system. The average number of susceptible drones is utilized as the metric to evaluate the resilience of the swarm. Furthermore, an experiment is conducted where a UAV swarm successfully carries out a surveillance mission. The proposed model not only enables the support of mission planning but also facilitates the design enhancements of UAV swarms.
Generative modelling of vibration signals in machine maintenance
Authors: Puchalski Andrzej Adam , Komorska Iwona
Published: October 2023

The exponential development of technologies for the acquisition, collection, and processing of data from real-world objects is creating new perspectives in the field of machine maintenance. The Industrial Internet of Things is the source of a huge collection of measurement data. The performance of classification or regression algorithms needs to take into account the random nature of the process being modelled and any incomplete observability, especially in terms of failure states. The article highlights the practical possibilities of using generative artificial intelligence and deep machine learning systems to create synthetic measurement observations in monitoring the vibrations of rotating machinery to improve unbalanced databases. Variational Autoencoder VAE generative models with latent variables in the form of high-level input features of time-frequency spectra were studied. The mapping and generation algorithm was optimised and its effectiveness was tested in the practical solution of the task of diagnosing the three operating states of a demonstration gearbox.
Determining the optimal reduction ratio in temper rolling in terms of residual stress distribution across thickness
Authors: ÇOLAK Bilal
Published: October 2023

Materials with compressive stresses on the surface withstand fatigue failures, cracking, galling, and corrosion. This compressive stress at the surface can be created by temper rolling. The rolling process must be conducted with an appropriate reduction to obtain the desired benefit from temper rolling. A 1% thickness reduction is usually applied to endow flatness and surface texture to the strip, and this reduction is sufficient to eliminate the discontinuous yielding phenomenon. In this study, 2.5-mm-thick low-carbon steel sheet (DC01 grade) samples were annealed at approximately 600°C for 5 minutes, temper-rolled at room temperature at various reduction ratios subsequently, and the residual stresses formed along the thickness by rolling were investigated. This study has revealed that a 1% reduction ratio is insufficient for developing compressive stresses on the surface, but this can only be achieved with a 1.5% reduction ratio. When the reduction ratio was increased to 1.8%, tensile stresses began to occur inside, along with compressive stresses on the surface. It was observed that at a reduction ratio of 2%, the situation was reversed again; tensile stresses began to regenerate at the surface, and this became more pronounced up to a 10% reduction ratio.
Resolving the Issue of Exemption from Criminal Liability on Alternative Grounds in the Court of Appeal
Authors: Kilina I. V.
Published: October 2023

A court of appeal has the right to dismiss a criminal case (criminal prosecution) and exempt the person from criminal liability. The legislator has not taken into account the peculiarities of applying alternative grounds for exemption from criminal liability, which are based on the possibility of assessing the positive post-criminal behavior of persons subject to criminal prosecution. The possibility of a court of appeal to overturn a conviction that has not entered into legal force, dismiss a criminal case and exempt a person from criminal liability on alternative grounds is influenced by a number of legally significant circumstances. These are as follows: the imperative or discretionary basis is subject to application; whether the court of appeal considers the issue of exemption from criminal liability for the first time or not; whether the appeal has established significant violations of the law that entail the reversal of the conviction. Courts of second instance should not ignore the discretionary nature that predetermines the special legal nature of the remaining alternative grounds. If the grounds for overturning a conviction are established, the court of second instance is entitled to consider the issue of exemption from criminal liability on alternative discretionary grounds; by contrast, in the absence of such grounds, the appellate court does not have the right to overestimate the circumstances of the criminal case. If the issue of exemption from criminal liability is first raised at the stage of appealing against a guilty verdict that has not entered into legal force, the courts need to find out the reasons why this issue was not resolved during the consideration of the criminal case by the court of first instance.
Moral Foundations of Legal Communication
Authors: Polyakov A. V. , Osvetimskaya I. I.
Published: October 2023

The article is founded on the position that social communication as an evolutionary option for the development of communication of all living beings must also include legal communication. In this existential context, legal communication is not reduced only to the transfer of symbolic (textual) information determining the behavior of subjects of law. It is also considered as a vital option for adapting to the environment, which allows both individuals and society to survive, develop and self-realize. Legal communication involves not just cooperation and interaction between legal subjects, but also the observance of the necessary conditions for the implicit and explicit goals of legal communication to be achieved and realized. Implicit (universal, transcendental, evolutionarily necessary) goals are reflected at the sociobiological level in the reciprocal altruism (ego-altruism) of communicants, at the philosophical (rational) level — in the principle of mutual legal and moral recognition, at the religious level — in the commandment “love your neighbor as yourself.” The authors reveal the connection between these concepts and the concept of communication by J. Habermas and the principle of mutual recognition by A. Honneth, on the one hand, and the idea of intuitive law by L.I. Petrażycki and the ideal of “free all-unity” by P.I. Novgorodtsev, on the other hand. It is shown that the findings of these scholars lie at the heart of the communicative theory of law and are supported by neuroscience data. According to the position put forward in this research, the rejection of mutual recognition inevitably entails the assertion of parochial altruism, the ideology of tribalism, the ideological justification of authoritarianism, violence as a universal political method, the neglect of human rights and, as a result, the deformation and destruction of legal communication.
The Communicative Function of Law in a Digital State
Authors: Denisenko V. V.
Published: October 2023

The paper is dedicated to the analysis of the communicative law function, which is the basis of the modern interaction between social state and civil society in the era of the digital law formation. In the context of modern digital society and state, we need to take into account the specificity of understanding and classification of the law functions. Communication is one of the most important characteristics of modern digital state and law. In this regard, the paper considers the communicative law function both socially and legally. Socially, the communicative function is considered as an informational one. In this regard, it is essential for the legal culture, legal education and legal consciousness. Communicative function as a social one involves understanding of the interaction between society and law from a position of the linguistic para digm. With this concept, the legal system is seen as a system of communication between subjects based on the autonomy of the individual. In the modern digital state communication as a social function of law is a basis of legitimization of legal acts. The legal consciousness is an important condition for law recognition. Along with the social function, communication plays an important role as a legal one. In this aspect, communicative action is connected to the regulatory and the protective functions of law. Communication plays a key role in the modern legal regulation due to the extension of its subject. The functioning of law in modernity has its own specifics with regard to the process of society juridification under conditions of law modernization and fulfilment of the state social function. The juridification consists in the fact that legal norms replace other social rules. Regulation of the majority of social relations through legal functions leads to the need to take into account communicative connections in society. Legal functions of law in the modern society should use the principle of deliberation in law to achieve their goals. Communication in its functional aspect is deemed a necessary foundation of an effective legal regulation and legal policy.
Influence of the harvesting method on the processes of moisture accumulation and yield capacity
Authors: Chekusov Maxim S. , Kem Alexander A. , Mikhaltsov Evgeny M. , Damansky Roman V. , Shmidt Andrey N.
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: A feature of the climate of the steppe zones of Western Siberia is the frequent recurrence of droughts. Accumulation and preservation of solid precipitation in the form of snow on field in winter is a relevant task, since this directly affects the accumulation of productive moisture in soil by the time of sowing and, as a result, the formation of the future harvest.
AIMS: To determine the influence of the snow cover level, moisture reserves and productive moisture in the soil on a stubble background, harvested with a thresher for direct combining and a rippler on the yield capacity of spring wheat.
METHODS: The field experiment was carried out in 2021-2022 in the steppe zone of the Omsk region at the Novouralskoye Scientific and Production Enterprise of the Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center. In the autumn of 2021, sections of the field were marked out for measurements: wheat stubble field after the thresher for direct combining, wheat stubble field after the rippler. In March 2022, indicators of the height of the snow cover and moisture reserves in the snow were determined on the marked areas using the VS-43 balance snow gauge. In the spring, wheat was sown with the machine-tractor unit, consisting of the RSM 2400 tractor and the Amazone Condor 15001-C sowing facility. In autumn, the chosen field sections were harvested with the Sampo-250 seed-production harvester.
RESULTS: It was found that after harvesting with the thresher for direct combining with a stubble background of about 15 cm, there is a decrease in the moisture reserve in the one-meter-depth layer by almost 2 times, down to 48.6 mm, by the spring period. The moisture reserve on a high stubble background, after the operation of the rippler, on the contrary, was able to persist, as there were 96.6 mm of productive moisture in the one-meter-depth layer by the time of sowing. The average grain yield on the field section sown after the rippler was 1.16 t/ha. The average grain yield on the field section sown after harvesting with the thresher for direct combining was 1.06 t/ha. Thus, the grain increase was 0.1 t/ha or 9.4%.
CONCLUSIONS: The carried out field experiment indicates that, when harvesting with a rippler, there is a twofold increase in productive moisture by the time of sowing, while the increase in the yield of spring soft wheat grain was 9.4%.
Results of calculation of changing the pollution concentration and alkalinity of the gas engine oils
Authors: Utaev Sobir A.
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: The issue of ensuring the reliability of internal combustion engines is a relevant composite task, solved in various directions. The important ones among them are the operation conditions, the type of fuel used, control of the motor oils condition, as well as justification of the service life of the latter. When ensuring the operational properties of engine oils of the diesel–based gas engines, the control of the main indicators of the operating oil is relevant.
AIMS: Assessment of changes in the pollution load and alkalinity of the M10G2 oils of the diesel–based gas engines. Application of equations for the theoretical analysis of changes in the pollution concentration and decrease of alkalinity, as well as for building dependencies of oil indicators.
METHODS: During the operation of internal combustion engines, thermochemical processes are actively developing in oils, leading to decrease in their quality due to the activation of additives and the accumulation of transformation products in oils. Mechanical impurities accumulate in the engine oil as a result of dust ingress with the sucked air or through leaks in the crankcase space, as well as due to the formation of insoluble oxidation products and wear of parts of the cylinder-piston group. The base number is a conditional measure of the oil’s ability to neutralize acids formed from the products of fuel combustion and oxidation of the oil base. The alkalinity specified by the presence of alkaline additives is consumed for the neutralization of acids at different rates.
RESULTS: The process of oil aging in internal combustion engines and factors affecting the aging of engine oil are considered. Analytical equations are used to calculate changes in the pollution concentration and changes in the alkalinity of the diesel-based gas engine oil, graphical dependences of oil indicators on the service duration are given.
CONCLUSIONS: The practical value of the study lies in the fact that, using the analytical equations, the value of changes in individual properties of diesel-based gas engine oils is analyzed. Operation of the engine with the oil which base number is below the limit leads to a decrease in engine reliability, accelerated wear of individual parts, lacquer formation and sludging on piston rings and cylinders. It is not allowed to use oils with the base number below 2 mg of KOH/g.

INTRODUCTION: The current stage of development of dental implantology permits to perform a complete dental rehabilitation even in complicated clinical situations. However, there are some difficulties which prevent achievement of a high success of implantological treatment in certain somatic pathologies that manifest in the form of systemic inflammation, and present relative contraindications for implantation. Important general somatic pathologies include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atherosclerosis, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, etc., they are associated with the risk of acute inflammatory response of an organism to surgical implantological intervention. The risk of unpredictable complications also increases because of insufficiently wide laboratory diagnostic spectrum for planning dental implantation that includes a biochemical blood test, coagulogram, reaction to the presence of specific infections and viral diseases. This list of diagnostic data is not always sufficient for a complete prognosis of success of planned treatment in patients with a complicated general somatic or dental status. Besides, the interrelation between dental chronic diseases and general somatic pathologies which in some cases have common etiopathogenetic factors, is often not taken into account, but without the adequate diagnostic range they often remain unnoticed and lead to persistent complications in different periods after completion of treatment. Development of technologies of surgical and orthopedic dentistry permits to provide full dental care to patients even with different pathologies of organs and systems. But in this case, of importance is extended laboratory diagnostics aimed at identification of factors of chronic systemic inflammation, vascular risk, bacterial threats, for example, evaluation of some interleukins, tumor necrosis factor, C-reactive protein.
CONCLUSION: A complex of clinical, laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods will permit to adequately evaluate risk for treatment failure and construct a prognostic tactics of complex therapy, thereby reducing the probability for unpredictable complications in dental implantation in patients with different somatic pathologies.

INTRODUCTION: At present, the issue of optimal antithrombotic therapy (ATT) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been finally resolved, it requires an individual approach and is of interest for study.
AIM: To study the dynamics of prescribing ATT to patients with AF of non-valvular etiology hospitalized in cardiology hospital in 20162021 for MI.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 599 patients with MI and AF: in 20162017 104 patients, in 20182019 256 patients, in 20202021 239 patients. The median and interquartile range of age of patients hospitalized in 20162017 were 70 (61.0; 78.0) years, in 20182019 71 (65.0; 79.3) years, in 20202021 72 (65.0; 80.0) years, p = 0.09.
RESULTS: In 20162017, 76.9% of patients with MI and AF were prescribed double antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) from the first day of hospitalization; 16.3% of patients were prescribed therapy with oral anticoagulants (OACs), here, in 6.7% as part of triple ATT, in 8.7% as part of double ATT (OACs + antiplatelet agent), in 1.0% as monotherapy with OACs; in 3.8% monotherapy with an antiplatelet agent was prescribed; in 2.9% of cases ATT was not prescribed. In 20182019, DAPT was used in 37.9% of cases; therapy with OACs in 54.7% of cases: in 44.9% cases as part of triple ATT, in 9.8% as part of double therapy; in 7.4% of cases monotherapy with antiplatelet agent was prescribed. In 20202021, DAPT was prescribed in 15.9% of cases; therapy with OACs in 74.5%, of them in 59.8% triple АТТ, in 14.2% double АТТ; monotherapy with an antiplatelet agent - in 7.5%; in 1.7% АТТ was not prescribed.
CONCLUSION: In the study, the frequency of prescription of triple ATT to patients with AF and MI in 20202021 increased 1.3 times as compared to 20182019, and 8.9 times as compared to 20162017 and made 59.8% (p 0.001 for all periods). The frequency of OAC also increased 1.3 times as compared to 20182019 and 4.6 times as compared to 20162017 and made 74.5% (p 0.001 for all periods). This dynamics of increase in the frequency of prescription of oral anticoagulants to patients with a combination of AF and MI should be considered a positive result of introduction of the Clinical recommendations in the treatment of cardiologic patients.

Published: October 2023

INTRODUCTION: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the most common types of the brain damage in newborns with extremely low and very low body mass. The main source of IVH in the extremely premature infants is the germinal matrix. This is a subependymal structure of the brain consisting of poorly differentiated, randomly arranged cells, well vascularized with vessels with a poor connective-tissue support. The germinal matrix a key supplier of neurons and glial cells of the brain is unique among the brain regions for its specific rate of angiogenesis and selective vulnerability to hemorrhages during its development. Etiology and pathogenesis of IVH in premature infants are highly multifactorial and have not been fully studied. In this review, the data on the key points of the pathogenesis of IVH in premature infants are generalized.
CONCLUSION: IVH is a potentially destructive disease, in the study of which a certain progress has been achieved in elucidating the causes and mechanisms of brain damage. In-depth understanding of the key points of the pathogenesis of intraventricular hemorrhage will permit to choose the optimal management tactics and develop new approaches to prevention and treatment of this pathology.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic periodontal inflammation is provoked by persistence of subgingival bacterial flora and is mediated through the production of proinflammatory cytokines that induce the innate immune reactions.
АIM: To establish the interrelation of secretion of interleukin 1 and immune component of soluble CD14 co-receptor with the main periodontopathogenic microorganisms in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A clinical and laboratory examination of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis (n = 100) and individuals with the intact parodontium (n = 63) was conducted. Molecular genetic studies (isolation of periodontal pathogens by polymerase chain reaction in real time), immune enzyme assay (isolation of interleukin 1 and soluble CD14 co-receptor) and statistical analysis of the data obtained were performed.
RESULTS: The frequency of isolation of periodontopathogenic bacteria in patients with the diagnosis of chronic periodontitis was 96.4% (T. forsythia 81%, р 0.001; P. gingivalis 69%, р 0.001; Tr. denticola 63%, р = 0.054). In 25% of cases, C. Albicans (р 0.001), in 37% Pr. intermedia (р 0.001) and in 30% A. actinomycetemcomitans (р 0.001) were isolated. The average concentrations of soluble CD14 co-receptor were 2.13 [1.89; 2.76] pg/ml in the control group and 20.3 [17.3; 22.5] ng/ml in the group of patients with chronic periodontitis (р 0.001). Concentrations of interleukin 1 were 3.187 [2.356; 4.633] pg/ml in the control group and 33.68 [17.255; 56.915] pg/ml in the group of patients with chronic periodontitis (р 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Inflammation of periodontal tissues is supported by the factors of aggression and toxins not only of known periodontal pathogens, but also by their associations, which leads to enhancement of virulence factors and increase in secretion of interleukin 1 and soluble CD14 co-receptor, which, in turn, causes destruction of alveolar bone.

INTRODUCTION: The epidemic of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) required a restructure of the entire healthcare system of the Russian Federation within a limited period of time. Here, the mortality of patients is the most important effective parameter that reflects successfulness of organization measures for improvement of the activity of medical institutions. The initial preparedness of the infrastructure permitted to rapidly deploy a hospital on the base of the Clinical Centre of Sechenov University for providing medical assistance to patients with COVID-19.
AIM: To analyze the in-hospital mortality of patients with COVID-19 at the Clinical Center of Sechenov University.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The COVID-19 database (n = 19 230) of the Clinical Centre of Sechenov University for 20202022 was analyzed.
RESULTS: The overall in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 hospitals of the Clinical Centre of Sechenov University was 8.5%, which is the lower level compared to the data of foreign studies (Italy, Spain, Great Britain, USA, Iran). The main predictors of mortality are: basic male gender, age (mainly 75 years); existence of malignant neoplasms, diseases of the nervous system, diseases of the cardiovascular system, diseases of the endocrine system in patients; diseases occurring in the course of hospital treatment artificial lung ventilation, past surgical interventions.
CONCLUSION: The working experience of the Clinical Center of Sechenov University shows a possibility for quick salvation of organizational tasks facing the healthcare system in the period of COVID-19 pandemic, with the results characterized by low lethality of hospitalized patients.
An Axiomatization of the Thomasic Ontology of Composition
Authors: Meixner Uwe
Published: October 2023

This treatise delves into the construction and formalization of a precise theory to encapsulate a pivotal facet of Thomas Aquinas’s ontology. In particular, it focuses on the development of a formal language that is adequate for formulating Aquinas’s understanding of the simultaneous nature of divinity as both an object of subsistence and a universal, individual, and actuating form—a concept evocative of the original Platonic sense of form. The presented axiomatized theory as a medium for expounding the ontological principles enunciated by Thomas Aquinas. A comprehensive set of axioms is systematically justified, exhibiting their congruence with Aquinas’s ontological doctrines. To elucidate this harmony, an extensive series of theorems is deduced, closely aligned with the verbal tenets of Aquinas’s teachings. The inherent consistency of the axiom system is proven by the provision of a geometrico-topological model tailored to support it.
