Background: Despite known adverse impacts on patients and health systems, ‘incentive-linked prescribing’, which describes the prescribing of medicines that result in personal benefits for the prescriber, remains a widespread and hidden impediment to quality of healthcare. We investigated factors perpetuating incentive-linked prescribing among primary care physicians in for-profit practices (referred to as private doctors), using Pakistan as a case study. Methods: Our mixed-methods study synthesised insights from a survey of 419 systematically samples private doctors and 68 semi-structured interviews with private doctors (n=28), pharmaceutical sales representatives (n=12), and provincial and national policy actors (n=28). For the survey, we built a verified database of all registered private doctors within Karachi, Pakistan’s most populous city, administered an electronic questionnaire in-person and descriptively analysed the data. Semi-structured interviews incorporated a vignette-based exercise and data was analysed using an interpretive approach. Results: Our survey showed that 90% of private doctors met pharmaceutical sales representatives weekly. Three interlinked factors perpetuating incentive-linked prescribing we identified were: gaps in understanding of conflicts of interest and loss of values among doctors; financial pressures on doctors operating in a (largely) privately financed health-system, exacerbated by competition with unqualified healthcare providers; and aggressive incentivisation by pharmaceutical companies, linked to low political will to regulate and an over-saturated pharmaceutical market. Conclusion: Regular interactions between pharmaceutical companies and private doctors are normalised in our study setting, and progress on regulating these is hindered by the substantial role of incentive-linked prescribing in the financial success of physicians and the pharmaceutical industry employees. A first step towards addressing the entrenchment of incentive-linked prescribing may be to reduce opposition to restrictions on incentivisation of physicians from stakeholders within the pharmaceutical industry, physicians themselves, and policymakers concerned about curtailing growth of the pharmaceutical industry.
The Rhetoric of Decolonizing Global Health Fails to Address the Reality of Settler Colonialism. Gaza as a Case in Point
Authors: Engebretsen Eivind , Baker Mona
Published: April 2024

This editorial critiques the existing literature on decolonizing global health, using the current assault on health in Gaza as a case in point. It argues that the failure to address the ongoing violence and blatant targeting of health facilities, personnel and innocent civilians demonstrates most clearly the limitations of an approach that is strong on rhetoric and weak on mounting a forthright challenge to the entire system supporting and perpetuating settler colonialism. We propose a more radical rethinking of the position of global health institutions within the current neoliberal system and of the systems of knowledge production that continue to underpin the existing colonial approach to the health of victims of settler colonialism.
EFFECTIVE SOLVING OF MULTIMODAL OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS
Authors: Andrii Kosolap
Published: April 2024

In this work, we consider multimodal optimization problems. Such problems contain many local extrema. We can say that most practical problems are multimodal. In particular, discrete optimization problems with Boolean and integer variables can easily be transformed into multimodal problems with continuous variables. Multimodal optimization problems can be of small or large dimensions in which the number of variables to be determined is hundreds or thousands of variables. Libraries of test and applied problems have been created to test the effectiveness of new global optimization methods. The author suggests separating problems with unknown optimal solutions in these tests. Then the best method for solving multimodal optimization problems will be the one that will allow obtaining better solutions in most such problems. Currently, this criterion is satisfied only by the exact quadratic regularization method developed by the author. This is confirmed by significant computational experiments on existing tests and applied multimodal optimization problems.

Authors: Vasyl Stopkin , Heorhii Smirnov , V. Naumenko , O. Svobodin
Published: April 2024

In the article, a mathematical model of the DTC (direct torque control) system of an alternating current electric drive is developed for the tasks of urban electric transport rolling stock, as an alternative to complex vector control of an asynchronous motor, taking into account its relevance, principles of operation and causes of occurrence. The research of the mathematical model of the direct control of the torque of the asynchronous motor in MATLAB was carried out, its main shortcomings, which limit the scope of its application, were revealed. The main task of the DTC system is to identify the stator flux linkage, which is solved by integration with error accumulation. The source of error accumulation is the inaccuracy of determining the active resistance of the stator and its changes during the operation of the asynchronous motor. The DTC system has a disadvantage associated with the appearance of torque ripples and rotor speed fluctuations at low loads.

Authors: Anatolii Kosolapov
Published: April 2024

After the end of martial law in peaceful Ukraine, one of the priority tasks will be the reconstruction of destroyed enterprises and industries. These processes must begin with the conceptual design of the IT architectures of the restored enterprises. However, the successful resolution of these tasks has a number of established difficulties. The paper provides a list of these features, which affect the paradigm shift of computerization and the transition of management systems to socio-computer-integrated systems. These peculiarities require changes in the training of Masters in Computer Engineering and their accelerated training in the new curriculum (as future systems analysts). In order to organize such training, a methodology for conceptual design of it-architectures, including Soft Skills, is proposed.
SUPPRESSION OF A MAGLEV TRAIN'S PARASITIC DYNAMIC'S COMPONENTS
Authors: Poliakov Vladislav
Published: April 2024

Part of a maglev train’s partial motiones are parasitic - not useful, or malicious to the successful solution of it’s motor task. Under the conditions of unpredictable system’s disturbances, the requirement to preserve it’s purposefulness makes it rational the passive suppression of such motiones by the methods of the invariance theory. These methods are used to find conditions, the observance of which guarantees the independence of a suppressed coordinates from certain perturbations. Suppression can be done by achieving the invariance of coordinates that represent unwanted motiones with respect to ignored disturbances, as well as by isolating such coordinates from influences that destroy the desired invariance. Suppression of a parasitic motion components is carried out automatically. To do it, the structure and parameters of the system must be rationally selected, physically realizable and ensure its high dynamic qualities. It is convenient to choose the structure and parameters using the concepts of structural and parametric invariance. Their implementation is possible only if the two-channel principle is observed.

Published: April 2024

Modern methods of processing and analyzing satellite data make it possible to solve applied problems in agriculture, determine the consequences of natural disasters, which are increasingly affected by climate change in European countries. Agriculture directly depends on natural resources and climate. Negative changes in weather conditions, such as abnormal heat, floods, forest and peat fires, dry winds, ice significantly reduce crop yields. For example, high temperatures disrupt the ability of plants to receive and use moisture. This is a serious threat to food security, as agriculture is a source of livelihood for a large number of people. Satellite data is an effective solution to increase agricultural productivity and yield. This study aims to develop an information technology of satellite monitoring for agricultural plant development with an intelligent fuzzy system.
FEATURES OF LINEAR MOTORS APPLICATION IN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Authors: Oleksii Bulavka , Anton Guda
Published: April 2024

Linear motors provide high precision, fast speeds, and a high force-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for applications where fast and accurate linear motion is required. Additionally, their direct-drive design eliminates the need for gears or mechanical linkages, which reduces friction and increases system efficiency. The article also mentions that linear motors can be controlled to produce different speeds and accelerations by varying the sequence and intensity of the current flowing through the coils. However, linear motors also have some disadvantages that must be considered, such as their cost, complexity, and sensitivity to environmental factors. Despite these drawbacks, the benefits of using linear motors make them a popular choice in many industrial automation applications.

Authors: Svitlana Foris , Valeriia Pererva , Iryna Таrasevich , Jurij Foris
Published: April 2024

Highly expensive energy carriers require revision of the existing engineering approaches in heating of industrial furnaces. The paper presents the results of research into the performance of a shaft kiln for lime-stone burning, which was fired with mixtures of natural gas and a fuel gas of a low calorific value. On the basis of studying various schemes of fuel distribution between the burners, the optimal operation mode of the kiln with reduced consumption of natural gas by 30% was identified. The lime quality indicators increase when the blast furnace gas is supplied to the central burner and improve when supplied to the peripheral burners. The joint supply of blast furnace gas in the calorific value section of the natural blast furnace mixture 9.4 ÷ 35 MJ/m3 allows keeping the performance of the furnace unchanged. At the same time, the coefficient of replacing natural gas with blast furnace gas is close to unity The proposed mode of heating the furnace with a capacity of 200 t/day with a natural blast furnace mixture provides 30% natural gas savings

İslâm Hukuku Kavramının İcadı Üzerine
Authors: Çağlayan Ramazan
Published: April 2024

İslâm âleminde, içtimaî düzen kurallarına “fıkıh”, “şeîat” yahut “şer-i şerîf” denilmektedir. Bu kavramlaştırma, başlangıçtan 19.yüzyıla kadar bu şekilde kullanılmıştır. “İslâm hukuku” kavramı dilimize 19.yüzyılın sonlarına doğru girmiştir. İslâm hukuku kavramı neredeyse hiç itirazsız kabul görmüş ve yaygın olarak kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Asırlardır kullanılan “fıkıh” kavramı yerine, neden İslâm hukuku kavramının kullanılmaya başlandığı sorusu üzerinde pek durulmamıştır. Oysa bu kavram değişikliği kendiliğinden oluşan bir durum değildir. “İslâm hukuku” kavramı, batı dillerindeki Fransızcadaki “droit musulman” veya “droit islamique” İngilizcedeki “Islamic law” teriminin karşılığı olarak dilimize girdiği anlaşılmaktadır. Batılı bilim adamları, “fıkıh” ya da “şeriat” kavramlarını bildikleri halde, bilinçli şekilde “İslâm hukuku” kavramını tercih etmişler ve Müslümanlar tarafından kullanılması konusunda da ısrarcı olmuşlardır. Bu ısrarları altında da sömürgeci zihniyetin bulunduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Batı medeniyetinin üstünlüğünü, Müslümanlara kabul ettirme çabaları içinde, Müslümanları dönüştürme niyeti de bulunmaktadır. Müslümanları dönüştürmenin yolunun da fıkhın dönüştürülmesinden geçtiğine kani olduklarından, öncelikle kavramının değiştirilmesi yoluna gitmişlerdir.

Published: April 2024

Financial constraint is the primary challenge plaguing Private Tahfiz Institutions (PTIs) in Malaysia. Moreover, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to the closure of many PTI due to inefficient and unsustainable governance. Government aid and student fees are insufficient to cover the increasing overall cost of PTI governance each year. Consequently, existing PTI entities must explore alternatives to boost income sources while conserving resources to maintain balanced and stable governance over time. This paper aims to elucidate the concept of sustainable tahfiz, in developing a conceptual framework, propose a Model of Institutional Tahfiz Alami (MITA), and discuss policies supporting MITA. The 2R1P concept (Reduce, Reuse, and Produce) forms the foundation of MITA, focusing on three green initiatives: (i) Water Harvesting Strategy, (ii) Renewable Energy Strategy, and (iii) Food Sustainment Strategy. This aligns with the Malaysia National Green Technology Policy and contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and MADANI Malaysia Policy through M-Sustainability, A-Sustainability, and D-Innovation. Consequently, the MITA conceptual framework is expected to pioneer advanced research in PTIs to fulfil the National Tahfiz Education Policy (NTEP) towards producing 125,000 huffaz by 2050.

Published: April 2024

'Jawlah Tiktoq' is an application developed as a teaching aid for learning and facilitating Arabic for non-native students. The Jawlah Tiktoq application was developed based on the concept of fun learning to help students master the pronunciation of Arabic 'mutamathilah' letters. The application focuses on four 'mutamathilah' letters- ta', kaf, to' and qaf (ت ك ط ق) and it was named after these letters. The data shows that students face challenges in mastering the pronunciation of ‘mutamathilah' letters as they have the same voice articulation and letter properties. Therefore, the application was developed as an effective alternative medium in the teaching of 'mutamathilah' letters. In this study, the Jawlah Tiktoq application was developed as an instructional material by adapting the ADDIE Instructional Model. Questionnaire were used as the instrument in the needs analysis phase which involved Arabic teachers from primary schools in Federal Territory. The purposive sampling method was used in the needs analysis phase which involved 100 teachers. Data from the questionnaire and literature review were used in the development and design phases. In addition, the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model has been used to ensure that the application developed can attract students’ interest and motivation and make the classroom atmosphere more conducive and interactive. The implementation phase involves piloting the application with selected students while the usability evaluation involves a group of field experts. The use and development of the Jawlah Tiktoq application have helped improve students' mastery of the pronunciation of the Arabic 'mutamathilah' letters as well as their motivation and interest in learning Arabic.

Published: April 2024

The advancement of Industry 4.0 technology requires industries to continuously compete in applying these technologies practically within existing processes. The remanufacturing process as one of the recovery approaches under Circular Economy strategy, is currently thriving on improvement by leveraging Industry 4.0 technology. The application of automated repair through additive manufacturing (AM) is one such opportunity to enhance remanufacturing capabilities with a variety of design options and alternative repair methods. However, AM’s potential as a repair option will be hindered due to challenges in terms of the geometric complexities, process requirements, material compatibilities and process accuracy. Hence, this study focuses on the development of guideline for repair of automotive component through AM process. The development of guideline is crucial to provide newly information and steps involved when conducting the repair using AM technology. The study is mainly focusing on remanufacturable of piston part in a crankshaft component as the case exemplary and Powder Based Fusion (PBF) of metal AM technology is used for verification purposes through experimental works. In overall, this study provides a design guideline involving repair process by using the AM process. The guideline would be useful for the designers, industries and remanufacturers to enhance the implementation of repair and remanufacturing process by adopting AM technology.

Published: April 2024

Aim – to investigate the associations of rs3134069, rs4355801 and rs3102735 polymorphisms in the TNFRSF11B gene with knee osteoarthritis in postmenopausal women.
Material and methods. 483 postmenopausal women were examined, including 157 patients with knee osteoarthritis. The remaining 326 women had no signs of joint disease and formed the control group. All examined women were tested using real-time polymerase chain reaction for single nucleotide polymorphisms rs3134069, rs4355801 and rs3102735 in the TNFRSF11B gene.
Results. It was found that genotypes distribution of polymorphisms rs3134069, rs4355801 and rs3102735 in the TNFRSF11B gene in the total group of examined women (n = 483) corresponded to the Hardy – Weinberg law (p 0.05). The analysis of the polymorphic variants’ frequency in the TNFRSF11B gene revealed an increased frequency of AC or CC genotypes of rs3134069 polymorphism in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OR = 1.91; 95% CI: 1.10–3.32; p = 0.030). Also, the allele C frequency of the above-mentioned polymorphism was increased among patients with osteoarthritis (OR = 1.78; 95% CI: 1.06–2.99; p = 0.040). No association with knee osteoarthritis was found for two other studied polymorphisms in the TNFRSF11B gene – rs4355801 and rs3102735 (p 0.05).
Conclusion. The increased frequency of genotypes AC or CC registration, as well as allele C of rs3134069 polymorphism in the TNFRSF11B gene in postmenopausal women with knee osteoarthritis indicates the important role of TNFRSF11B gene mutations in the osteoarthritis development and progression. Further research in this area is of great interest both for a deeper understanding of the disease pathogenesis and for the development of personalized approach in the prevention and treatment of knee osteoarthritis in postmenopausal women.
Armenian Cochineal and the Red Color of Armenia in Russian Literature
Authors: Keshfidinov Shevket , Shafranskaya Eleonora
Published: April 2024

The article examines the genesis of the red color, which acts as a pattern of the «Armenian text of Russian literature» on the basis of Russian poetic texts (B. Pasternak, F. Sologub, O. Mandelstam, N. Konchalovskaya, P. Antokolsky, I. Snegova, P. Pyanykh, L. Shahverdyan) and prose (B. Kuzin, O. Mandelstam,

Yu. Karabchievsky, M. Saryan, V. Grossman). The subject of the article is the connection of the insect code presented in the discourse with the color red. Analytics is based on biographical, quantitative methods, linguistic analysis of the text and is carried out on the basis of a historical and cultural approach. The

recent works that reveal the patterns of the «Armenian text» do not mention the connection between cochineal and red color metaphors found in this article. The conclusions obtained enrich the cultural and philological concept contained in the framework of the «Armenian text» and expand the poetic context of the biological organism mentioned in the poems of Russian poets. The article presents an additional (to the already existing) perspective in the analysis of O. Mandelstam's poem «Inside the mountain, an idol is inactive...»: the image of the idol is

embedded in an ekphrastic sculptural row with the mythological Golem.
Somnambulistic
(A Wreath of Sonnets by M.A. Voloshin «Lunaria»)
Authors: Linnik Yury
Published: April 2024

Shortly before his death, the outstanding stephanist and stephanologist from Petrozavodsk, Yuri Vladimirovich Linnik, sent me, as the Chairman of the International Scientific and Creative Seminar School of the Sonnet, two of his poetological essays for publication in the next issue of the almanac «Wreath of

Sonnetologists and Sonnetists». The received grant makes it possible to publish both the essays themselves and the comments adequate to them. Both of them are devoted to the pioneering experiments of Maximilian Voloshin, the author of two wreaths –«Corona Astralis», 1909, and «Lunaria», 1913, in which a new unheard-of genre-strophic form was first tested in relation to the philosophy of cosmism. This issue, in resonance with the predilection for stephanistics, most of all occupied Linnik himself. Linnik's metapoetic interpretation of two masterpieces

of his predecessor will be of undoubted interest both for researchers of sonnet wreaths and for poets who cultivate them in their work. This time we bring to the attention of readers the second essay «Somnambulistic». The first one, we hope,

will be published by our Kazakh colleagues.

As digital technology based on the Internet of Things (IOT) develops, it should be able to increase banking access (inclusivity) for customers and attract the interest of potential customers. Banking digitalization is currently much more developed than just transaction features but also includes a savings account opening system. Bank Muamalat Indonesia is one of the sharia banks that participates in the development of digital technology by presenting a mobile banking application called MDIN or Muamalat Digital Islamic Network. Digitalization of sharia banking should provide convenience and attract the interest of potential customers, considering that the market share of sharia financial institutions in Indonesia is still low. This research aims to determine customer preferences for opening a savings account via MDIN. This research uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach. The objects of research include customer preferences in using MDIN digital banking. The subjects of this research are customers who open savings accounts through MDIN. The research results show that customer preferences in using MDIN as an option for opening a savings account are based on several factors such as social factors, ease of service, benefits and personal factors. Social and personal factors are the most dominant factors in customer’ decision making to open a savings account through MDIN digital banking.

The organisation of the evacuation referral system is an important strategy for reducing maternal and perinatal mortality in Mali. Objective: To study obstetric evacuations received in the gynaecology and obstetrics department of the "Major Moussa DIAKITE" referral health centre in Kati. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study. Data were collected retrospectively and prospectively over a 12-month period (from 1 January to 31 December 2020). Sampling was exhaustive and included all cases of obstetric evacuation received and managed on site during the study period. Results: Out of a total of 3050 deliveries, we received and managed 352 cases of obstetric evacuation, representing a frequency of 11.5%. The average age of the patients was 25 years, with extremes of 15 and 44 years, although the 20-34 age group was dominant, accounting for 73.6% of cases. The majority of evacuees were housewives (86.4%), married (92%), nulliparous and primiparous (52%). Dystocic labour was the most common reason for evacuation (51.1%), followed by ante-partum haemorrhage (13.4%). Nearly nine out of ten women evacuated came from Community Health Centres (89.8%) and the most common means of evacuation was by ambulance (52.1%). The average time from admission to the start of care was 26.5 minutes, with extremes of 3 and 50 minutes. Delivery by the vaginal route was carried out in almost eight out of ten cases (79%). Newborns were resuscitated alive (7.9%); stillbirths were fresh (3.7%) and stillbirths were macerated (06%). We recorded 2 cases of maternal death (0.6%) and the causes of maternal death were haemorrhage due to uterine rupture and eclampsia. Conclusion: The improved organisation of the evacuation referral system in our facility has improved the maternal and, above all, foetal prognosis of obstetric evacuations, but more needs to be done.

Background of the study: Tuberculosis is curable and preventable as long as the infected patients take their medication as prescribed without interruption and all preventive measures observed both within the hospital and the community. Adherence to tuberculosis treatment by tuberculosis patients is key to the global control of tuberculosis. Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out at the Mile-4 hospital, a tuberculosis treatment center in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. A total of 125 tuberculosis patients were recruited for the study and self-administered questionnaires and focus group discussions were used to get responses from the patients. Descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. Results: Major reasons given for missing appointment and not following treatment schedule closely were lack of money, long distance from health facility, inadequate health education and non provision of food. Lack of money and long distance from health facility accounted for 60.9% of the reasons for not adhering to the treatment schedule by the tuberculosis patients. Conclusion: Adherence to tuberculosis treatment can be facilitated by extensive health education, minimal financial support and provision of food to tuberculosis patients. Distance from health facilities is also very important in the adherence to anti tuberculosis therapy by tuberculosis patients.
