In this work, the results of radon concentration measurements in samples of multi-storey apartment buildings in eight large cities of Russia are analyzed. Two samples, depending on the year of construction of the building – before and after 2000, were formed in each city on the basis of a quasi-random approach. Radon concentration measurements were performed using radon radiometers equipped with the CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detector. In the flats of multi-storey buildings, two radiometers were installed and flat’s average radon concentration was calculated. The exposure period for the radon radiometers was three months. To estimate the average annual radon concentration, seasonal coefficients calculated for the primary radon entry from building materials were used. In total, radon concentration measurements were carried out in 1032 flats. It was assumed that the combined sample for the cities of Ekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, and Chelyabinsk is representative for the multi-storey buildings in non-capital cities of Russia. The following arithmetic mean annual radon concentrations were obtained in samples of houses built up before and after 2000, respectively: Moscow – 17 and 21 Bq/m3; St. Petersburg – 15 and 25 Bq/ m3, the group of non-capital cities – 25 and 31 Bq/m3. Taking into account the contribution of each group of buildings to the general urban housing stock, the parameters characterizing the radon concentration in multi-storey multi-apartment urban buildings in Russia were calculated as follows: arithmetic mean 25 Bq/ m3; geometric mean 21 Bq/m3; the geometric standard deviation is 1.81. In general, exposure to indoor radon in multi-storey urban buildings in Russia is low both in terms of average value and range of concentrations. There is a tendency towards an increase in indoor radon exposure of the population in new buildings, which is associated with the introduction of construction technologies that increase the energy efficiency of buildings.

Authors: Khudyakova Natalya , Kogevnikova Irina , Klassen Inga , Kondakova Alyona
Published: December 2023

The somatic cell count in milk is part of any veterinary and sanitary examination. The entire livestock is tested for somatic cell count at least once a month during control milking. This indicator makes it possible to identify latent mastitis in cows. Somatic cell count depends on many production factors as it indicates udder health, compliance with technological standards, and milk grade. Milk processing enterprises value high-grade milk that can be used in baby food production. As a result, grade identification is of great economic and production importance for dairy producers. This research featured the correlation between the milk yield and the somatic cell count after the first, second, third, and further lactations. The authors analyzed qualitative and quantitative indicators of milk in cows of three age lactation groups from the same herd. The animals were grouped according to the somatic cell count in milk, corresponding to the highest, first, and second milk grades.

Authors: Yurchenko Margarita
Published: December 2023

Functional literacy is an important skill that can be developed in a second language classroom at secondary and high school. This article introduces a functional literacy program of advanced training for teachers of foreign languages. The author used axiological, personal-activity, and interdisciplinary approaches with non-participant observation methods and pedagogical modeling to analyze legal norms, school standards, and foreign and domestic publications. The program offers a single school-university track represented as a course of professional training for teachers of foreign languages at the Siberian Institute of Management, Novosibirsk. Teachers of foreign languages donated their teaching and learning experience in preparing students for state exams in foreign languages and functional literacy development. The study revealed some gaps in the academic standardization, advanced training for teachers, and methodological support for Second Language at school. The author identified vectors of prospective development in the field of functional literacy as school, as well as the reasons behind the passive attitude of most school teachers to functional literacy development. Advanced training in this sphere should be compulsory and interdisciplinary. The connection between functional literacy, state exam diagnostics, and teachers’ competences is of exceptional importance in Russian education and requires more continuity.

Published: December 2023

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is strongly linked to the origin and transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in reservoirs. During metalimnetic oxygen minimum (MOM), the reservoir is divided into four regions: surface oxygen-rich (SOR), middle anoxic (MA), middle oxygen (MO), and bottom anoxic (BA). This article focuses on the link between DOM and disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors and DO in reservoirs. The DOM in SOR was characterized by the highest proportion of protein-like components, lowest humification and aromaticity, which was indicated mainly affected by algae blooms. The DOM in MO was affected by terrestrial, with the highest ratio of humic and fulvic-like fluorescent and the highest extent of humification and aromaticity. The humification and aromaticity in MA and BA were between MO and SOR water. Moreover, according to redundancy analysis, the dominant DBPs, including trichloromethane and haloacetic acid precursors, mainly originate from a high degree of humification and aromaticity in DOM, suggesting that the terrestrial-derived DOM was a dominant source of DBP precursors. This study provides the distribution in DOM characteristics and its driven DBPs in the Sanhekou Reservoir during the MOM, which is of great significance for selecting appropriate water intake regions for subsequent water treatment.

Published: December 2023

Background

ChatGPT may act as a research assistant to help organize the direction of thinking and summarize research findings. However, few studies have examined the quality, similarity (abstracts being similar to the original one), and accuracy of the abstracts generated by ChatGPT when researchers provide full-text basic research papers.

Objective

We aimed to assess the applicability of an artificial intelligence (AI) model in generating abstracts for basic preclinical research.

Methods

We selected 30 basic research papers from Nature, Genome Biology, and Biological Psychiatry. Excluding abstracts, we inputted the full text into ChatPDF, an application of a language model based on ChatGPT, and we prompted it to generate abstracts with the same style as used in the original papers. A total of 8 experts were invited to evaluate the quality of these abstracts (based on a Likert scale of 0-10) and identify which abstracts were generated by ChatPDF, using a blind approach. These abstracts were also evaluated for their similarity to the original abstracts and the accuracy of the AI content.

Results

The quality of ChatGPT-generated abstracts was lower than that of the actual abstracts (10-point Likert scale: mean 4.72, SD 2.09 vs mean 8.09, SD 1.03; P<.001). The difference in quality was significant in the unstructured format (mean difference –4.33; 95% CI –4.79 to –3.86; P<.001) but minimal in the 4-subheading structured format (mean difference –2.33; 95% CI –2.79 to –1.86). Among the 30 ChatGPT-generated abstracts, 3 showed wrong conclusions, and 10 were identified as AI content. The mean percentage of similarity between the original and the generated abstracts was not high (2.10%-4.40%). The blinded reviewers achieved a 93% (224/240) accuracy rate in guessing which abstracts were written using ChatGPT.

Conclusions

Using ChatGPT to generate a scientific abstract may not lead to issues of similarity when using real full texts written by humans. However, the quality of the ChatGPT-generated abstracts was suboptimal, and their accuracy was not 100%.

Authors: Chien Shih-Ying , Wu Ching-Yi , Wong Alice May-Kuen , Chen Chih-Kuang , Beckman Sara L
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

As individuals age, the incidence and mortality rates of cerebrovascular accidents significantly rise, leading to fine motor impairments and cognitive deficits that impact daily life. In modern occupational therapy, assessing manual dexterity and cognitive functions typically involves observation of patients interacting with physical objects. However, this pen-and-paper method is not only time-consuming, relying heavily on therapist involvement, but also often inaccurate. Digital assessment methods, therefore, have the potential to increase the accuracy of diagnosis, as well as decrease the workload of health care professionals.

OBJECTIVE

This study examined the feasibility of an interactive electronic pegboard for the assessment and rehabilitation of patients with stroke.

METHODS

We explored the pegboard’s clinical applicability by examining the relationship among stages, timing, and difficulty settings, as well as their alignment with patient capabilities. In total, 10 participants used a prototype of the pegboard for functional and task assessments; questionnaire interviews were conducted simultaneously to collect user feedback.

RESULTS

Patients with stroke consistently required more time to complete tasks than expected, significantly deviating from the initial time frames. Additionally, the participants exhibited a slight reduction in performance levels in both manual dexterity and cognitive abilities. Insights from questionnaire responses revealed that the majority of participants found the prototype interface easy and enjoyable to use, with good functionality.

CONCLUSIONS

This preliminary investigation supports the efficacy of interactive electronic pegboards for the rehabilitation of the hand functions of patients with stroke, as well as training their attentional and cognitive abilities. This digital technology could potentially alleviate the burden of health care workers, positioning it as a valuable and intelligent precision health care tool.
Analysis and rationale of TOW units for tractors with massive towed objects
Authors: Popov I.P. , Filkin N.M. , Moiseev O.Yu. , Kharin V.V.
Published: December 2023

The most difficult stage in the operation of a tractor with massive towed objects is the starting mode. This is due to the need to overcome the static friction force, which significantly exceeds the motion friction force. As a solution to this problem, we can consider the use of the initial kinetic energy of the tractor, which can be developed when using limited elastically deformable tow units. To optimize the mathematical model, the following assumptions are made: traction force F on the hook of the tractor is a constant value; the inertial masses of the tractor and towed objects are the same and equal m. The dynamics of a tractor and massive towed objects is described by means of theoretical mechanics, taking into account the elastic deformation of tow units. The composed systems of linear homogeneous differential equations with right-hand sides are solved by the method of elimination of functions with increasing of exponential order, as a result of which differential equations of the fourth and sixth power are formed. Initial conditions at t = 0: since the tow unit is not deformed and no force is applied to the towed object. The periods t2 and t3 are determined, during which the tow units will undergo maximum deformation. To assess the effectiveness of the use of elastically deformable tow units, the results obtained should be compared with similar results corresponding to absolutely rigid tow units. Comparison of displacements, speeds and energy testifies to the high efficiency of the elastically deformable tow units. The use of elastically deformable tow units makes it possible to accumulate the initial kinetic energy of an aircraft tow tractor, which makes it possible to overcome the static friction force and ensure the starting of heavy towed objects. Comparison of the kinematic and dynamic parameters of the tractor with towed objects for options with absolutely rigid and elastically deformable tow units shows that the efficiency of using the latter increases with an increase in the number of towed objects. Elastically deformable tow units can cause oscillations of the tractor-towed objects system. To prevent them, the tow units must be blocked at the moment of their maximum deformation.

Published: December 2023

A study of the individual and cumulative influence of factors on the indicators of metal consumption and unit cost of antenna-mast structures of cellular communication is presented. The high importance of wireless communication and the Internet, as well as the emergence of new faster generation networks in the country, requires construction of a large number of cellular antenna-mast structures. Due to changes in the requirements of cellular operators to bearing capacity of supports, it is necessary to review and adjust existing projects, and selection of new structural elements and sections for current construction conditions with further calculation of the load capacity. To reduce the complexity of design process, it is proposed to make a preliminary assessment of the adopted design solutions in terms of efficiency criteria, which are considered in the study as metal consumption and unit cost of construction and installation works. The numerical value of the criteria is formed in the course of analyzing the experience of building antenna-mast structures according to analogous projects. Based on the data of the conducted studies of quantitative assessment of factors affecting the metal consumption and unit cost, it was found that such indicators are the area, weight and average suspension height of the equipment mounted on the support. Correlation-regression analysis was used to find dependencies and build diagrams between individual factors and indicators of metal consumption and unit cost of construction within the benchmark price. The complex influence of all factors on the performance criteria can be taken into account using the multifactorial regression model formed by the authors. The use of the results of the study will improve the efficiency of designing antenna-mast structures for cellular communication.

Published: December 2023

In modern marketing, analysing and acting on buyers' needs is very important. Companies try to listen to the opinions of consumers because "they are always right". Marketing for commercial logistics plays an important role. All the goods in the world are transported by air, sea, pipeline, road and rail. Based on this, large logistics companies that need customer orders and customers who need their services use modern marketing strategies to sell their services. The consumer wants the company to do everything for him at the highest level. He does not turn to the first company he meets but evaluates the market and chooses the best one. The success of the company depends on which strategy the company chooses. Therefore, analysing these strategies is important for society, and only after analysing many examples used in the modern world will it not make a mistake in its choice. The research aims to analyse the innovative marketing strategies companies use in commercial logistics to sell their products and services successfully. In total, five modern marketing strategies were analysed, which are diametrically different and, due to their uniqueness, specific to different types of companies.

Published: December 2023

Despite the wide involvement of the scientific community of the country in the problem of recycling of complex machinery, including agricultural machinery, scientific and practical directions for solving this most important problem of the agro-industrial complex are still insufficiently represented. (Research purpose) The research purpose is analyzing the state of utilization of complex agricultural machinery in the agro-industrial complex, identifying recommendations for optimizing this process, justifying the need for the fastest implementation of this project (Materials and methods) We carried out an objective analysis of the state of utilization of complex agricultural machinery at the federal and regional levels and found that there is still no civilized system of utilization of complex agricultural machinery, which leads to significant losses of material resources and environmental instability in the agro-industrial complex. The unsatisfactory state of affairs on this issue was confirmed by studies conducted by specialists of FNAC VIM. It was determined that the overwhelming number of agricultural farms - more than 65 percent - carry out the disposal of complex agricultural machinery on their own, without having enough technical and technological base, regulatory and technical documentation. (Results and discussion) The trends of changes in the machine and tractor fleet of the agro-industrial complex regarding the expansion of functions for the disposal of complex agricultural machinery with the maximum extraction of secondary resources were considered. It was noted that the difficulty of obtaining reliable and timely information about the condition of a particular machine, the low level of solvency of agricultural producers, complicating the process of updating equipment and the purchase of spare parts for timely repairs, lead to the fact that agricultural machinery is decommissioned much later than its maximum condition occurs. (Conclusions) The paper identified the main parameters and conditions for the possibility of implementing a project for the effective functioning of a system for the disposal of complex agricultural machinery in the agro-industrial complex.

One of the main factors in improving the reliability of individual components and assemblies of machines is the use of new materials with specific properties, which include superelasticity and shape memory effect. For metals and alloys with shape memory effect, heat treatment is used to ensure the required behavior of materials depending on operating conditions. (Research purpose) The research purpose is searching for the regularities of changes in the physico-mechanical properties of titanium nickelide-based alloys with the shape memory effect depending on the thermomechanical effect. (Materials and methods) Divided the materials used to carry out the planned studies in accordance with their working conditions: the property of the short-term memory effect is used for the operation of equipment and components in technical working conditions; the nature of the memory effect manifests itself for a long time or periodically repeats at the operating temperature of the equipment, that is, in working conditions. The groups of heat treatment of these materials in combination with the above-mentioned characteristics of alloys were identified. (Results and discussion) Special technological techniques have been changed to obtain the shape memory necessary for parts that do not correspond to the semi-finished product. The necessity of using heat treatment for «shape memory» was revealed. It was established that during the production of semi-finished products, if plastic deformation is applied at a temperature of at least 400 degrees Celsius, and the shape of the workpiece coincides with the configuration of the semi-finished product, heat treatment with the shape memory effect is not carried out. It has been proved that in order to stabilize the size of semi-finished products during heat treatment, annealing is carried out at a temperature of 400-450 degrees Celsius. (Conclusions) For alloys with the shape memory effect, heat treatment affects the provision of the required physical, mechanical and thermophysical properties of materials that must be used to obtain specific memory effects in specific details. For the purpose of efficient operation of shape memory alloys, heat treatment groups of this material were proposed in accordance with the required characteristics and configuration of the part.

Today, the work of Russian universities is undergoing transformations associated both with modern global processes and their internationalization, which has lasted for decades, which makes their study an urgent research task. The purpose of this article is to determine the features of the internationalization of Russian universities in modern conditions. The methodological basis of the work was the methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization, classification, as well as monitoring and analysis of statistical data, which made it possible to consider the key factors of the modern internationalization of Russian universities. As a result of the study, it was found that today Russian universities are actively involved in the process of internationalization and define it as a strategic component of their activities. They cannot avoid the influence of international and government factors that determine the choice of current and potential partners, as well as the political context of their activities in general. Today, Russia dominates the space of its neighboring countries and has the opportunity to develop its positions in a number of other regions. Work to popularize the Russian language and education, as well as attracting foreign applicants and teaching in foreign languages, represent positions that require special attention and, with active development, will ensure the strengthening of Russia and its universities in the process of internationalization of higher education.

Objective. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a dangerous complication of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The study aimed to compare sarilumab (SAR group) with tocilizumab (TOC group) and patients without anticytokine treatment (CON group) in treatment of CRS in COVID-19.

Methods. The retrospective real life study included COVID-19 patients with C-reactive protein(CRP)  level >60 mg/l.

Results. We enrolled 24 patients in SAR group, 27 patients in TOC group and 47 patients in CON group. Mortality was lower in SAR and TOC groups than in CON group (12.5% and 14.8% vs. 31.9%; p=0.021 and p=0.031) with no difference between SAR and TOC groups (p=0.389).  SAR patients unlike TOC patients required intensive care unit admission less frequently then CON patients (16.7% and 25.9% vs. 46.3%; p=0.013 and p=0.077). An increase in oxygen saturation was observed in SAR and TOC groups (p=0.001 and p=0.004; greater in SAR group [p=0.022]), but not in CON group (p=0.764) in 7-10 days after administration of these drugs. The decrease in CRP level was greater in  SAR and TOC groups than in CON group (p=0.016 and p<0.011), with no difference between SAR and TOC groups (p=0.236).

Conclusion. Sarilumab is not inferior to tocilizumab in COVID-19
