The demand for irrigation is growing and will continue to grow in the future due to increasing food demand and climate change. Data on current and future demands are essential for better management and planning of water resources use. The province of Biskra is ranked as the largest consumer of irrigation water in the cities of South East Algeria with 42% of annual consumption. Under the arid climatic conditions of this region, it is inevitable to irrigate and the majority of irrigation water comes from groundwater. The objective of our study is to evaluate the irrigation water withdrawals in the region using the agro-meteorological model CROPWAT for the 2014-2015 campaign over the entire province, and to compare them with the official data of the Directorate of Water Resources Services (DRE) and the Sahara River Basin Agency (ABHS). Our results were superior to their data and the water consumption per hectare of water was also superior to the results of the SASS (2015) but similar to the Döll (2010). With increasing withdrawals and a decrease in recharge, we could fear economic and ecological problems in a region under severe water stress.

Methods and principles of stepped frequency signals generation are researched and generalized. Mathematical models of stepped frequency signals are described. Software signal models are implemented to evaluate the possibility of developing a device for probing signals synthesizing. These signals can increase the range resolution of radars. As an example, a schematic calculation of the device for stepped frequency probing signals synthesis is carried out. The possibility of stepped frequency signals generation in the optical wavelength range based on lasers for multi-band radars development is considered. Conclusions are drawn about the possibility of creating advanced multiband radars with a single optoelectronic oscillator.

Objective — to determine the relation of the main phylotypes of the intestinal microbiota (IM) with markers of systemic inflammation and the degree of hepatic steatosis in patients with non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with metabolic disorders.

Materials and methods. The study included 114 patients with NAFLD with excessive body mass and obesity and 30 people as a control group, who were investigated on the basis of the Department of Gastroenterology and Therapy of the Polyclinics of the L. T. Mala National Therapy Institute of NAMS of Ukraine. The mean age of the investigated subjects was (52.56 ± 11.70) years. Anthropometric measurements were carried out with the calculation of the body mass index (BMI), determination of the percentage of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) using the OMRON BF‑511 body composition monitor. To determine the VAT dysfunction, the visceral obesity index (VOI) was calculated by the M. C. Amato method. Determination of CRP and TNF‑alpha levels was carried out by enzyme immunoassay. The assessment of the degree of steatosis was carried out by determining the wave attenuation coefficient (WAC) and shear wave elastometry. Determination of the composition of the intestinal microbiota at the level of the main phylotypes was carried out by identifying the total bacterial DNA and DNA of Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria by the method of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in real time.

Results. The NAFLD patients displayed significantly increased levels of CRP and TNF‑alpha in comparison with the control group. A weak direct correlation has been established between CRP, TNF‑alpha and Firmicutes (r = 0.24 (p = 0.0029) and r = 0.17 (p = 0.0350), respectively), and an inverse correlation dependence of CRP on Bacteroidetes (r` = – 0.29 (p = 0.0003)). Analysis of the dependence of the ratio of the main intestinal phyla (Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes) on markers of systemic inflammation in NAFLD patients with different activity of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) revealed an increase in the ratio of the main phyla of IM with an increase in VAT activity. In the group of NAFLD patients with high VAT activity maximum values of the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio have been defined. Patients with increased levels of CRP an TNF‑alpha displayed an increase in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. Patients with advanced steatosis showed more significant changes in the main phyla of IM towards an increase in Firmicutes.

Conclusions. The dependence of the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio from the markers of systemic inflammation and VAT activity has been established. The maximum values of the index (Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes) were observed in NAFLD patients with a high degree of visceral obesity index and hepatic steatosis as well as elevated CRP and TNF‑alpha levels.

Authors: Suprun K.G. , Oliynyk I.O.
Published: July 2021

Objective — to study the effectiveness of the method of treating onychomycosis using only local agents in patients suffering from psoriasis and having contraindications to the use of systemic antifungal agents.

Materials and methods. The study involved 52 patients with psoriasis and lesions of the nail plates, aged 21 to 67 years. The duration of the disease was from 1 to 27 years.To verify the fungal infection of the nail plates, a microscopic examination of nail scales with 20 % KOH and molecular genetic studies using pan-fungal primers were carried out.Among 52 examined patients with psoriasis who had clinical signs of lesions of the nail plates, there were 37 people with mycotic infection lesions of the nail plates.Due to the somatic burden, the use of systemic antifungal agents was contraindicated. Treatment of onychomycosis in such patients was carried out using only local therapy and sanitary-hygienic measures. As a topical antifungal therapy, 1 % solution and 1 % cream of naftifine hydrochloride were prescribed in combination with drugs that improve the structure of the nail plates (Volvit, 5 mg once a day and Cytoflavin, 2 tablets 2 times a day for 1.5 months).

Results and discussion. 1 month after the beginning of the use of the proposed method for the treatment of nail fungal infection in case of psoriasis of the scales of the nail plates, mycelium and fungal spores were absent in 6 (16.2 %) patients with distal lesions of the nail plates. After 4 months of treatment they were absent in 16 (43.4 %) patients with distal-lateral lesions of the nail plates, after 6 months — in 21 (56.7 %) patients, after 9 months — in 26 (70.2 %) patients.

Conclusions. The proposed complex method is quite effective and of higher priority for the treatment of onychomycosis in patients with comorbid conditions that make it impossible to treat a fungal infection with systemic antimycotics.
Brief outline of the history of world epidemics-­­pandemics. Part III. The half forgotten viral debut
Authors: Коlyadenko К.V. , Fedorenko O.E.
Published: July 2021

A little more than a hundred years ago, the humanity plunged into the second wave of «the Spanish flu» just like in the spring of 2021 it plunged into the second wave of coronavirus. Despite the significant biological and virological differences between COVID-19 coronavirus and the Spanish flu, already known to us in the second year of the pandemic, the obvious significant similarity in the dynamics of the epidemiological scenarios of both pandemics is striking.It is officially believed that the epidemic in Europe began in the last months of the deadly First World War (1914—1918). Its development and the next catastrophic spread were caused by: unsanitary conditions, poor nutrition, overcrowding in trenches and refugee camps, the demobilization and the return of soldiers home, as also the rapid development of vehicles at the beginning of the 20th century (trains, cars, high-speed ships). The Spanish flu, caused by the H1N1 virus, had several «waves». It is difficult to estimate the exact number of those who had the Spanish flu, but presumably, this is 500—550 million people. About 25 million people died (some studies indicate a figure of 50 or even 100 million). Unfortunately, the mankind quickly forgot about this viral pandemic and consequently was objectively compelled, after a hundred years, to unexpectedly make the same mistake again and introduce quarantine as the only way to limit the further spread of the next viral pandemic of mankind. The Spanish flu significantly influenced all the further development of medicine. While before the deadly pandemic the private medical practice was widespread, in the process of its overcoming, the formation of the modern international health care system took place. In 1919, the International Bureau for Epidemic Control was founded in Vienna.
Systemacy Principle in the Analysis of Speech Processes
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Tarasov Evgeny F.
Published: July 2021

The article analyzes the principle of systemacy in the speech process study which is implemented in the approach to speech analysis where speech is considered an element of a system consisting of joint activity (JA) of communicants and their verbal communication (VC), this system determining all speech actions of the communicants. The subject of the theory of speech processes systemacy is the organization of the system that reflects the connections arising between interacting and communicating communicants, learned by the researcher, i.e., the connections that determine the communicants’ mutual speech control over each other’s behavior. The research method used in the article is a theoretical and metatheoretical analysis of the main provisions of the system-activity approach to the speech process study. People’s behavior is controlled by means of symbolic messages, which is possible only with a similar image of the world among the communicants, the latter being developed while acquiring identical subject culture. Subject-empirical culture is the substance of consciousness, the acquisition of which ensures the common consciousness of native speakers, and which is an obligatory prerequisite for sign communication, since the bodies of linguistic signs, being only a substance, do not themselves carry any knowledge. Speech processes carried out by the co-actors in the JA are determined by the structure of JA and VC, and in addition to that, by the whole society, whose culture they have acquired and which now, in the form of images of consciousness, constitutes the content side of linguistic signs. System determination specifies both constant and variable properties of speech processes.

Linguocognitive Analysis of Convergent Space of the Threat Construct
Authors:   Tver State Agricultural Academy, Romanov Alexey A. , Novoselova Olga V. ,   Tver State Agricultural Academy
Published: July 2021

The article is devoted to the communicative construct of threat as a cognitive tool, basis or method of interpretation helping a speaker to evaluate threat statements which are capable form different effects on interlocutors’ emotional state and form their feelings of certain intensity. The communicative threat construct makes it possible to determine the limological parameters of the semantic space of verbal threat in the context of interlocutors’ social interaction and fix in this space the meaningful elements that form the idea of verbal threat in cognitive agents’ mental space.The study shows that the communicative construct of threat includes a number of statements in a form of language social practices realized in the process of discursive interaction and associated with a change of addressee’s emotional state in the content continuum from disposition “comfortable state” to disposition “uncomfortable state”. The set of speaker’s and listener’s possible dispositions of the emotional state forms the functional and semantic space of verbal threat making it possible to assert that almost any utterance with the meaning of threat is one of the I-speaker’s and I-listener’s possible dispositions on the content continuum of menasive construct, while a menasive construct is a set of I-speaker’s and I-listener’s possible dispositions of emotional states. The use of a communicative construct of threat opens up possibilities for interpreting the effect ofthreats, and the results of this study can be used to predict the pragmatic effect of threats on a single or mass addressee. Considering of verbal manifestations of threat as a communicative construct makes it possible to evaluate not only the intense depth of the pragmatic effect of threats in social interaction, but also to interpret the directions of this effect within the framework of a typical threat scenario.

Conclusion: The proposed method was found to be very sensitive and accurate for the determination of Stiripentol in bulk and formulation.
A Framework to Guide Educational Technology Studies in the Evolving Classroom Research Environment
Authors: Nagashima Tomohiro , Yadav Gautam , Aleven Vincent
Published: July 2021

Despite the drastic change to school environments due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, it is still important that educational technology researchers conduct school-based research to understand the impact of technology in an authentic learning context, even remotely. However, the transition to remote research has made it challenging for researchers to collect classroom data, observe teacher-student-technology interactions, and facilitate study sessions. To explore how re- searchers can effectively plan and conduct technology-based educational studies in the new, evolving classroom research environment, we interviewed seven US teachers, investigating their perceptions of participating in remote classroom studies. Based on the findings and the authors’ experience of running classroom studies, we propose a framework that educational technology researchers can refer to when planning and conducting research in the evolving classroom research environment. Specifically, the framework informs researchers of several types of questions they can explore with teachers, students, and researchers themselves to be better prepared to address potential confusion, unexpected issues, and practical benefits in remote classroom research. Our work contributes by providing a practical guide for running technology-based research remotely, which may remain as a means of classroom research in the future. Some of the findings and the framework would also be applied to in-person classroom research setting.

Truthfulness judgments are negligibly affected by talker traits
Authors: Johnson Khia A. , Mellesmoen Gloria M. , Babel Molly
Published: July 2021

This study examines whether social evaluation and intelligibility affect judgments of perceived credulity. Canadian English listeners (i) completed a speech-in-noise task, (ii) judged if sentences were true, and (iii) rated voices on social dimensions. A Bayesian analysis showed that neither social evaluation nor intelligibility substantially influenced perceived truthfulness. While recent work suggests talker accent may impact perceived credulity, the question is far from settled in the literature. We conclude that perceived credulity is negligibly affected by assessments of natively-accented voices.

Reconstructing Aerosols Vertical Profiles with Aggregate Output Learning
Authors: Stefanovic Sofija , Bouabid Shahine , Stier Philip , Nenes Athanasios , Sejdinovic Dino
Published: July 2021

Aerosol-cloud interactions constitute the largest source of uncertainty in assessments of anthropogenic climate change. This uncertainty arises in part from the inability to observe aerosol amounts at the cloud formation levels, and, more broadly, the vertical distribution of aerosols. Hence, we often have to settle for less informative two-dimensional proxies, i.e. vertically aggregated data. In this work, we formulate the problem of disaggregation of vertical profiles of aerosols. We propose some initial solutions for such an aggregate output regression problem and demonstrate their potential on climate model data.
We need stable, long-term policy support! - evaluating the economic rationale behind the prevalent investor lament for forest-based biofuel production
Authors: Zetterholm Jonas , Mossberg Johanna , Jafri Yawer , Wetterlund Elisabeth
Published: July 2021

Uncertain and unstable policy support has often been claimed to be a major cause of the slower than expected deployment of technologies for production of advanced biofuels. We investigate the economic rationale of this claim using a real options framework incorporating uncertainties regarding energy prices, investment costs, and prevalence of policy support, which was linked to the greenhouse gas (GHG) performance of the produced biofuel. Six industrially relevant forest-based technologies for production of drop-in biofuels were evaluated. The technologies were integrated with a pulp mill and an oil refinery and are at different stages of their technical development. The results show a limited economic rationale behind the claim that policy uncertainties are a major source for the stalled deploymen. Rather, it is mainly related to the uncertainties regarding investment costs and future energy prices, resulting in technologies with lower sensitivity with respect to these uncertainties have a larger chance of becoming commercially relevant investment options. If policy support is intended to promote investment in technologies with high GHG performance, it must be directed specifically to these technologies, otherwise, it is more beneficial to invest in technologies with more favourable conditions for investment and operational costs, but lower GHG performance.

Contextualizing adolescent structural brain development
Authors: Ferschmann Lia , Bos Marieke , Herting Megan , Mills Kathryn L. , Tamnes Christian K.
Published: July 2021

The spatiotemporal group-level patterns of brain macrostructural development across adolescence have over the past decades been relatively well documented. Efforts are now being directed towards understanding individual variability in brain development, as well as its causes and consequences. While genetic factors and pre- and perinatal events have critical impact on brain structural development, calls are now made to also study the brain in dynamic transactional interplay with the different aspects of an individual’s physical and social environment across all stages of development. Such a focus is highly relevant for research on adolescence, a period of life involving a multitude of contextual changes paralleled by continued refinement of complex cognitive and affective neural systems. Insights into the relations between environmental factors and adolescent brain development and the consequences for mental health, have the potential to provide valuable directions for policy changes and targets for prevention. Here, we discuss associations between selected aspects of an individual’s physical and social environment and adolescent brain structural development, and possible links to mental health. We also touch on methodological considerations for future research.
Evolving Nurturing Societies
Authors: Johansson Magnus
Published: July 2021

This thesis describes conceptual and empirical work aiming to increase the prevalenceof nurturance in society. Biglan et al. (2012) described the four key characteristics of thenurturing environments framework from a prevention perspective: minimizing toxicenvironmental and social conditions; teaching and reinforcing prosocial behavior; limitingopportunities for problem behavior; and developing psychological flexibility. In this thesis, Iexplore the notion that the nurturing environments framework can be relevant to promotehealth and well-being for any population in any context. An important step in creating morenurturing societies is to develop reliable and useful ways to assess processes and outcomesrelated to nurturing environments. Ideally, this also helps clarify what nurturance entails interms of behavior and contextual conditions and provides specific targets of change.Study 1 describes the broad scientific basis for a cultural evolutionary view ofnurturance based on an analysis of multiple sectors of society. Study 2 proposes the NurtureConsilience as a framework and coalition movement for increasing the prevalence ofnurturing environments, providing examples and recommendations of actions in thisdirection. Study 3 is a review of experimental evaluations of comprehensive multi-sectorcommunity interventions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, finding that experimentalresearch in this area is largely non-existent. Study 4 uses the PAX Good Behavior Game as anexample of a model that can promote nurturance in multiple sectors of society by illustratinghow the PAX system’s integration of evidence-based kernels can be adapted to differentsettings. Study 5 is a feasibility study on the use of a smartphone app to support the transfer ofleadership skills from training program to everyday use, as an example of a potentiallyscalable and cost-effective tool to implement skills that promote nurturance. Study 6 detailsthe development of an instrument to assess nurturance in workgroups, and elaborates on howit can be used in other settings.The studies in this thesis provide an overview of the concept of nurturance, how it canbenefit members of society, and adds to the knowledge on assessment and intervention toevolve nurturing societies.
A Review of MARION KRUSE, THE POLITICS OF ROMAN MEMORY: FROM THE FALL OF THE WESTERN EMPIRE TO THE AGE OF JUSTINIAN. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2019, 304 pp.
Authors:   European University at St Petersburg, Bespalchikova Yana
Published: July 2021

The monograph by M. W. Kruse—professor of Classics at the University of Cincinnati—investigates the difficulties of building a new historical memory and identity in the late Roman Empire at the end of the 5th—first half of the 6th century. At that time, the emperors did not actually control Italy and Rome, a previous center and origin of imperial statehood. The study is based on an analysis of the texts of the most influential authors of this period, in particular historians of the era of the emperor Justinian, as well as the narrative of his own laws—Novellae of the Corpus Juris Civilis. The monograph represents Kruse’s substantially reworked PhD dissertation on classical philology. In his study, Kruse makes a successful attempt at a large-scale revision of the current concept of modern science about the indifference of contemporaries to the events of 476 in Italy and argues that the assessment of these events as the fall of the Western Roman Empire and a momentous event is only a construct of historical science of the 19th century, originating from the works of E. Gibbon.
Boosting the Impact of Nepal’s Child Grant through a Parenting Intervention
Authors: Sjöblom Disa
Published: July 2021

This paper provides the results gathered over two years of Save the Children’s parenting programme developed for the Government Child Grant in Nepal. The paper draws on global evidence pointing to the vital role of parenting practices for children’s development and explains the essence of the programme used with parents in Nepal. Selected findings from impact studies carried out in 2018 and 2019 are used to show the positive changes found in parents’ behaviour with their children after participating in the sessions. It is argued that instead of merely seeing the Child Grant as a means to nutritional improvements it should be used as a pathway to advance development in all domains of early childhood – physical, cognitive, social and emotional – so that children get a good start in life. The parenting programme implemented by Save the Children as a ‘cash plus’ approach for the Child Grant holds great promise to support the ability of children to develop to their full potential.
Assessment of Child Sensitive Social Protection Programmes in Nepal
Authors: Pun Bishwa Ratna , Shrestha Gyanendra Kumar
Published: July 2021

Studies have shown that social protection programme can be detrimental to children if it is not designed and implemented in a proper way. Even programmes focusing on children can be counter-effective and can leave a long-term adverse effect in the lives of children. This article aims to assess the children focused social protection programmes in Nepal from a child rights perspective with a specific consideration around the area of social assistance. This article adopts a Core Diagnostic Systems Assessment Instrument (CODI) tool and is primarily based on secondary data. Results show that the current social protection system, especially focused on children, in Nepal lacks several elements of child sensitivity such as ‘adequacy’, ‘respect rights and dignity’ in designing and implementation. Furthermore, though the Government of Nepal prioritise social assistance by channeling reasonable funding, the share of children focused programmes is relatively low. Any investment made on children currently, would result in their better future and the country at large. Thus, increasing social assistance targeting children will contribute to better child protection and eventually have significant development impacts. This will also be critical in ensuring the rights of children in general and vulnerable children in particular.
«New simplicity» as a phenomenon of modern musicin the conceptual context of novelty
Authors: Ovsiannikova-Тrеl Oleхandra
Published: July 2021

The relevance of research. The music of leading contemporary composers, representing the style of «new simplicity», becomes a manifestation of a certain attitude associated with a «new» approach to the technique of musical composition, in a wide sense – to the ontological foundations of music as a specific form of art and culture. Accordingly, the concept of «new» acquires special significance, which contains the essence of the novelty of the composer's understanding of music as an object of its creative realization and a way of communication with the listener. This issue is not often discussed in native researches of contemporary music (as well as the «new simplicity» in general), it is not presented as a special subject of musicological studies.
The purpose of the research is to determine the conceptual foundations of the «new simplicity» as a phenomenon of contemporary musical art in the context of the semantic content of the concept of «new music». The methodological basis of the research is the systemic method, the method of comparative studies, as well as the methods of historical musicology and genre-style analysis. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the theoretical development of the «new simplicity» as a genre and stylistic phenomenon of musical art in the context of the artistic and aesthetic foundations of contemporary composer's creativity.
Main results. The conceptual meaning of «new music» as a phenomenon of professional musical art of the 20th century had a straight influence on the development of the aesthetic idea of the «new simplicity» and its creative implementation in individual composer’s styles at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The essence of the «new» in the «new simplicity» consists of the fundamental rejection of the need to constantly changing the norms of the musical language and its total individualization, as well as in the return to a more accessible («simple») musical style. The return of the «new simplicity» to triad and consonance as the main constructive elements of the musical language represents a fundamentally different approach of modern composers to the technique of musical composition in the context of the «ban on consonance» proclaimed by the Western European musical avant-garde. «New» in this case is the understanding of the basic function of triad and consonance: it is associated not with the functional side of tonality, but with the phonic image of music – the factor that ensures its harmony in terms of auditory perception and the possibility of an emotional response.
Conclusion. Musicological development of the conceptual aspect of the «new simplicity» opens up opportunities for studying this phenomenon of contemporary musical art in a wide historical perspective and understanding it as a natural link in the evolution of European academic music.

Метою роботи є визначення найбільш оптимального методу виміру товщини напівпровідникових плівок на основі зіставлення з експериментальними даними отриманими методом КЗО.

Напівпровідникові плівки CdSe і ZnTe є матеріалами групи AIIBVI для використання в сучасних електронних пристроях, таких як сонячні елементи, світлодіоди, газові сенсори і інше [1,2].

Синтез тонких плівок CdSe і ZnTe, отримання і розуміння фізичної інформації про їх властивості є необхідною умовою розробки стабільних пристроїв на їх основі.

Для отримання плівок селеніду кадмію і теллурида цинку використовують різні методи: високочастотне магнетронне розпиляло [3], газотранспортний метод (PVT) [4], хімічне парофазне осадження (CVD)[5], молекулярно-променева епітаксія [6], термічний вакуумний випар [7] і термічний випар в квазізамкнутому об'ємі (КЗО)[8].

Отримання досить чистих напівпровідникових плівок групи AIIBVI, зокрема CdSe і ZnTe, в умовах вакууму ускладнюється відмінністю тисків насиченої пари компонентів з'єднань. Також важливим параметром синтезу плівок у вакуумі є рівень залишкових газів, які здатні вступати в хімічні реакції з речовиною підкладки і входити в грати кристалітів. Вони, як правило, неконтрольовано впливають на швидкість росту плівок, їх структуру. Тому вирощування напівпровідникових плівок з парової фази необхідно проводити в дегазованій вакуумній системі із залишковим тиском хімічно активних газів не більше 10-5 Пa.

Вибір методу КЗО в цій роботі обумовлений тим, що він дозволяє отримувати однорідні, структурно досконалі тонкі плівки напівпровідникових матеріалів, близьких до термодинамічної рівноваги, що є основною перевагою цього методу перед іншими вакуумними технологіями [9,10]. Важливою перевагою методу є високий тиск пари халькогенидов в КЗО, тиск залишкових газів в робочому об'ємі [11], що значно перевищує (на чотири порядки) тиск залишкових газів в робочому об’ємі.

Необхідною умовою для отримання пристроїв на основі напівпровідникових плівок групи AIIBVI є контроль товщини отримуємих зразків. Вимір товщини плівок можливо як після, так і в процесі (in situ) їх напилення.

Розглянуті різні методи контролю товщини напівпровідникових плівок. В рамках розглянутих методів вибрані методи, які найбільш прийнятні в певних умовах.

За допомогою наведених методів виміряна товщина напівпровідникових плівок. Проведено порівняння результатів товщин різних плівок, при цьому дані експерименту з високою точністю співпадають з даними розрахованими різними методами. Вибрані найбільш оптимальні методи контролю товщин.

Метою цієї роботи є побудова математичної моделі трубного зварного з'єднання, що враховує вплив взаємодії окремих частинок в обсязі матеріалу, з метою визначення залишкових напружень в зразку, до якого застосовано вібраційний вплив в процесі зварювання, а також оптимального часу вібраційного впливу при зварюванні трубної заготовки. Сутність запропонованого способу вібраційної обробки стосовно до зварювання полягає в повідомленні трубній заготовці, що оброблюється вібраційних хвиль в процесі зварювання, запобігаючи таким чином формування залишкових напружень у зварному шві і біляшовній зоні. Виникаючі при зварюванні напруги і деформації в достатній мірі вивчені; на дану тему існує безліч робіт дослідників, в яких були розкриті причини виникнення, класифікації зварювальних напруг і деформацій, методи їх визначення та способи запобігання. З метою запобігання формуванню залишкових напружень в зварному шві і біляшовній зоні запропоновано використання вібраційної обробки трубної заготовки в процесі зварювання. Побудовано математичну модель вібраційної обробки зварного шва і формула для знаходження часу вібраційної обробки, що враховує вплив взаємодії окремих частинок в обсязі матеріалу. Визначення залишкових напружень при вібраційній обробці зварних з'єднань труб було зведено до вирішення задачі математичного програмування. Представлені формули дозволяють отримати аналітичні значення залишкових напружень маючи дані про власну частоту вібрації, коефіцієнт затухання коливань, амплітуду і частоту вимушуючої сили вібрації.

El cáncer, destaca entre las causas de muerte después de las enfermedades del corazón. En la población femenina, el cáncer de ovario llega a ser más letal que el cáncer de mama, menos de la mitad de las mujeres afectadas por la enfermedad, llegan a vivir más de cinco años después del diagnóstico inicial. La mayoría de las pacientes es diagnosticada con mayor frecuencia después de la menopausia y en una etapa avanzada. Las causas de la enfermedad se asocian a factores genéticos y hormonales. Las mujeres que tienen síntomas en relación con el cáncer de ovario deben ser sometidos a un examen físico, ecografía transvaginal y la medición de biomarcadores tales como antígeno de cáncer 125. Una vez realizado el diagnostico las pacientes deben ser derivadas a un oncólogo ginecológico, para la aplicación del tratamiento correspondiente según el estadio de la enfermedad.

Authors: Ismayilova Masma Aliyulla gizi
Published: July 2021

The article deals with the expression of emotionality and expressiveness in a dialogue. The lexical system of the language contains words and ready-made constructions (for example, applause) that directly affect the emotional state. Different forms of such tools are used depending on the status of the interview. Praise, pleading, threats, blackmail, applause, etc. are the means chosen and included in speech at such moments. The peculiarities of emotive and aesthetic functions, expressiveness in the dialogic speech in the modern Azerbaijani and English languages are systematized and analized on the basis of the concrete dialogues taken from the living speech and fiction. Stylistic-expressive grammatical forms in both languages are remarkable for their emotional peculiarities and don’t depend on the type of speech. The special attention is given to interjections, exclamatory sentences, polysemantic words, reiteration, paralinguistic means, intonation, verbal context that play an important role in dialogues. It is also emphasized that in the dialogic speech participators are not content only with transmission of information but also try to influence the emotions of their conversation.

Published: July 2021

The subject of the research is theoretical principles and practical proposals for the improvement and development of methods and accounting of depreciation and depreciation charge based on the requirements of tax accounting and national accounting standards. The purpose of the article is to identify the problems of accounting for the justification of proposals concerning grouping methods, determination of fixed assets depreciation and depreciation charge based on tax accounting, and national accounting standards harmonization. The methodological bases of the article are general scientific (dialectical, historical, monographic, system-structural), general economic (statistical and economic, groupings), special accounting (double entry, accounting, balance) research methods. The results of the article. It is generalized that fixed assets for accounting and depreciation are divided into certain groups according to the substantiated methods. Accounting problems are related to inconsistencies in regulatory and methodological support and can be resolved based on the harmonization of tax accounting and national accounting standards. Field of application of results. The results can be used in the management of enterprises and in the educational process of secondary special and higher education institutions in training the specialists in economics and accounting. Conclusions. Therefore, in the absence of clear criteria on which the choice of depreciation method for the relevant group of fixed assets should be based, it is likely that the enterprise may provide inaccurate information about its fixed assets and other non-current assets. Therefore, for this purpose, a centralized procedure for determining the liquidation value of fixed assets and other non-current assets should be introduced, as well as clear Regulations on the choice of depreciation method should be developed at the legislative level.
