Published: October 2021

The aim of this study was to identify potentially toxic contaminants in milk powder. Powdered milk contains a range of toxic and non-toxic substances that are present in a wide variety, also having very different origins. A number of seven milk powder samples from different producers sold on the Romanian market were analyzed, the samples that were collected from the original packaging: P1, P 2, P3, P4, P5, P6 and P7. The concentration of the following elements was analyzed using the X-ray (XRF) fluorescence method: potassium (K), chlorine (Cl), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and aluminum (Al). The vast majority of the samples showed the levels of elements K, Ca, Cl, Al, P well above the maximum allowable limit (AML). In a single test, the elements potassium, calcium, chlorine, phosphorus showed levels below the maximum allowable limit, but the level of aluminum was much above. The experimental results showed that the market sells assortments of milk powder that exceed concentrations above the maximum limits established by the legislation in force for some constituent elements. Concentrations of constituent elements are not always specified on food labels, and if this information appears, they are not always the correct values.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the occupational and financial
consequences for parents following the onset of type 1 diabetes in their child.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A
questionnaire assessing occupational and financial situations before and in the
first year after the onset of diabetes was distributed to all families with a
child ≤14 years of age at diagnosis with a diabetes duration of at least 12
months in nine German pediatric diabetes centers.

RESULTS

Data of
1,144 children (mean age at diagnosis 6.7 (3.6) years, 46.5% female) and their
families were obtained. Mothers’ occupational status reflected in paid working
hours was significantly reduced in the first year after their child's diabetes
diagnosis (P < 0.001). Overall, 15.1%
of mothers stopped working, and 11.5% reduced working hours. Mothers of
preschool children were particularly affected. Fathers’ working status hardly
changed (P = 0.75). Nearly half of
the families (46.4%) reported moderate to severe financial losses. Compared to
an earlier similar study in 2003, significant negative occupational
consequences for mothers and financial burden on families remain unchanged in
2018 (P = 0.59 & 0.31,
respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

Mothers
of young children with newly diagnosed diabetes experienced negative
consequences in their occupational situation. This inequality for mothers can have
long-term negative consequences for their mental health and future economic situation.
There is an urgent need for action to reduce the burden on families and to
provide professional, social, and regulatory support especially for mothers of
young children with diabetes.

Authors: Markin A.O. , Timchenko L.M.
Published: October 2021

The article is devoted to the category of legal status and labor legal personality in the science of labor law, represents the ratio of the terms “person” and “personality”. Legal personality is a fundamental legal category because it determines the ability of a person to own the law. Legal personality is a developing legal property that reflects the specifics of social relations, the peculiarities of socio-economic formation, determine the place of the individual in society as a whole, and the field of a particular branch of law in particular. The realities of a market economy objectively necessitate a clear definition of legal personality as a fundamental legal category in the field of labor law to ensure the priority of contractual regulation of legal relations on the use of hired labor and, at the same time, effective implementation of the protective function of labor law. The author singles out three types of legal status: general (single) legal status for all citizens of our state; general status for all employees (employees); special or special status for certain categories of workers.Legal status is one of the central concepts of modern legal science, it was developed by many scholars of both the Soviet and modern periods. 

The author substantiates that the key elements of the legal status of the employee in labor relations are his legal personality. Particular attention is paid to the structure of the legal personality of the employee. It is proved that the legal capacity and capacity of the employee are the only indivisible phenomenon - legal personality. Substantiations are presented that the second necessary element of the legal personality of the employee is the ability to work. The current legal and legal status of the individual in almost the entire post-Soviet space is characterized by such features as extreme instability, weak legal protection, lack of reliable guarantee mechanisms, the inability of state authorities to effectively ensure the interests of citizens, their right to life, freedom, honor, dignity, property, security, equality, social justice and more.
The genesis of the development of domestic legislation and scientific opinion on the recording of court proceedings
Authors: Berezuk V.
Published: October 2021

The result of Ukraine’s desire for European standards of living was the adoption in 2012 of the Criminal Pro-cedure Code of Ukraine, which introduced new criminal procedural institutions aimed at ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of participants in court proceedings. One such institution has been recording fixation hardware of court proceedings, which is currently carried out in the form of a full video recording of court proceedings. The article is devoted to elucidating the genesis and current state of criminal proceedings for the recording of court pro-ceedings. The article analyzes the development of the institution of recording court proceedings at different histor-ical stages of the formation of Ukrainian statehood. It is established that at different stages of the criminal process, the subjects who carried out such recording, the forms (procedures) of its implementation, and most importantly: the role of recording the proceedings, due to its purpose. It is stated that despite the legislative enshrinement of the rules on recording court proceedings in the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine of 1961, the recording of court proceedings as an institution to guarantee a public, democratic, fair court, it became possible to speak only with the adoption in 2012 of a new Criminal Code of the Procedural Code of Ukraine, which for the first time in history defined the recording of court proceedings as one of the general principles of criminal proceedings. And, despite the fact that the development and improvement of the principles of criminal procedure has not been completed, it can be argued that today the recording of court proceedings serves as a criminal procedural guarantee of respect for the rights and legitimate interests of every person involved in court proceedings.

Penitentiary probation as a mechanism to prevent the commission of repeated criminal offenses
Authors: Yushchyk О.І.
Published: October 2021

The article examines penitentiary probation as a mechanism to prevent the commission of repeated criminal offenses. The author paid attention to the analysis of international and national legislation, which enshrines the concept of penitentiary probation and the procedure for its implementation in relation to persons sentenced to restriction of liberty and imprisonment. The adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Probation” and the establishment of a probation service in Ukraine served to introduce one of the types of probation - penitentiary, as one of the requirements of international organizations. In particular, the implementation of Recommendations CM \ Rec (2010) of the Committee of Ministers to member states on the Council of Europe Rules on Probation concerned the purpose of probation by preventing and reducing crime. To achieve this goal, namely to reduce the commission of repeated criminal offenses, it is necessary to establish a positive relationship with the offender and provide social assistance by returning him to public life. 

According to the Law of Ukraine “Of Probation”, the main purpose of probation is to prepare persons serving a sentence of restriction of liberty or imprisonment for a certain period of time for release for the purpose of employment of such persons after release at their chosen place of residence. Penitentiary probation should ensure that the convict is provided with a range of social services that will prepare him for release from prison with further adaptation and return to society as a full member. Restoration of the social status of the released person and provision of psychological assistance will help prevent the commission of new criminal offenses. To ensure the restoration of this status, the relevant authorities must clarify the need of the convict after his release from prison. In particular, if necessary, provide social assistance, which may be manifested in the provision of housing, employment, assistance in obtaining a profession, recovery of documents, as well as the provision of psychological assistance. The above factors will serve to assist the released person in social and material adaptation in society, which in turn will help prevent the commission of new criminal offenses.
IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE IN CONDITIONS OF ARMED CONFLICT IN UKRAINE AND POLICE RESPONSES
Authors: Kachynska М.
Published: October 2021

The article is devoted to selected aspects of gender-based violence in the context of the armed conflict in Ukraineб and the police response to these cases. The author considers the international legal regulation of prevention and counteraction to gender-based violence in the conditions of armed conflicts. The provisions of UN Security Council Resolution №1325, adopted on 31 October 2000, and UN Security Council Resolution №1296, adopted on 19 April of the same year, were analyzed separately. It is noted that the risk group, which is the most vulnerable to gender-based, should include internally displaced persons. When this category of people changes their place of residence due to the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, they need specialist help and support from the community they are moving to, and especially from government agencies, including the police. In most cases, a district police officer is a first contact officer who has complete information about the population in their area of service, their needs and characteristics. That is why the author points to the leading role of the district police officer among other police services and divisions in the field of timely detection of gender-based violence. The article develops an algorithm of actions for district police officers in case of detection of gender-based violence, which contains signs of a crime, reveals some aspects of proceedings in this category, as well as the use of coercive measures by police. The author considers the forms of interaction of a district officer with other state bodies of state power and local government, as well as the public in the field of prevention and counteraction to gender-based violence.
A Simple Guide to Lawn Mowing
Authors: Lee Perry Y.C. , Lee Joshua B.
Published: October 2021

This paper presents the total time required to mow a two-dimensional rectangular region of grass using a push mower. In deriving the total time, each of the three ‘well known’ (or intuitive) mowing patterns to cut the entire rectangular grass area is used. Using basic mathematics, analytical and empirical time results for each of the three patterns taken to completely cover this rectangular region are presented, and examples are used to determine which pattern provides an optimal total time to cut a planar rectangular region. This paper provides quantitative information to aid in deciding which mowing pattern to use when cutting one’s lawn.

Authors: Juandi Narlis , Rahmi Rahmi , Helwati Hira
Published: October 2021

The interest in the development of edible and biodegradable films has increased because it is every day more evident that non degradable are doing much damage to the environment. In this research, edible films were based on blends of janeng starch in different proportions, added of palm oil or glycerol, which were used as plasticizers. The objective was to study the effect of two different plasticizers, palm oil and glycerol of edible film from janeng starch–chitosan on the mechanical properties and FTIR spectra. Increasing concentration of glycerol as plasticizer resulted tend to increased tensile strength and elongation at break. The tensile strength and elongation at break values for palm oil is higher than glycerol as plasticizer at the same concentration. FTIR spectra show the process of making edible film from janeng starch–chitosan with palm oil or glycerol as plasticizers are physically mixing in the presence of hydrogen interactions between chains.

Published: October 2021

Sea cucumbers are a marine source with biological activities that have been used in food as well as medicine in many Asian countries. Actinopyga mauritiana is one of the sea cucumber species with limited research about its bioactive activities. In this study, the wound healing activity of A. mauritiana extract in the form of cream, gel, and serum formulations in mice was investigated. The histopathology test was performed to evaluate the fibroblast and collagen dense levels in wound healing. Phytochemical screening has been carried out by the qualitative test of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, and saponins compounds. The A. mauritiana ethanol extract (SCAE) was added into cream, gel and serum formulations with various concentrations (3, 6, and 9%) and applied to the wounded area of mice. The wound healing activities and histopathology results indicated that serum 9%-SCAE performed the highest decrease of wound length 0.55 ± 0.32 compared to other groups with a density level of fibroblast and collagen are 10.00 ± 1.00 and 10.67 ± 0.00, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the wound healing activity of A.Mauritiana, which demonstrated promising therapeutic agents for wound healing and cosmetics applications in the future.
Magnetostratigraphy of lower Paleocene strata in the Ferris Formation, Hanna Basin, Wyoming, with refined resolution of the Pu1–Pu2 interval-zone boundary of the Puercan North American Land Mammal Age
Authors: Albright L. Barry , Eberle Jaelyn L.
Published: October 2021

Recent studies of early Paleocene stratigraphic sections across the U.S. Western Interior are refining our understanding of the biotic recovery in the aftermath of the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) mass extinction event. Herein we present magnetostratigraphic data from an approximately 600-m-thick section of strata of the Ferris Formation in the Hanna Basin, south-central Wyoming, that spans the K–Pg boundary and includes in conformable superposition the three subdivisions of the earliest Paleocene Puercan North American Land Mammal Age: interval zones Pu1, Pu2, and Pu3. Prior studies on early Paleocene stratigraphic sections in Montana to the north of Hanna Basin and in Colorado and New Mexico to the south have been only marginally successful in defining the temporal boundaries of these divisions. This earlier work typically restricted Pu1 entirely within reversed magnetochron C29r, Pu2 entirely within normal magnetochron C29n, and at least the early part of Pu3 in C29n, as well. Results of the present study confirm what has been only tentatively suggested previously: that interval zone Pu2 begins in the youngest part of C29r, with later Pu2 fauna extending into C29n. Although Pu3 is known to begin in C29n, its younger limit remains unknown in our Hanna Basin section, because the top of the local Puercan is well above the stratigraphic level of our sampling for this project. We estimate a date for the Pu1–Pu2 boundary in the Hanna Basin section of approximately 65.82 Ma—nearly 70 k.y. earlier than prior estimates. This boundary marks the transition from the Pu1 survival fauna to later phases of the mammalian recovery characterized by a significant increase in diversity, appearance of considerably larger-bodied mammals, and greater dental and dietary specializations.

Urgency of the research. Today the increase in the volume and monetary investment activity of telecommunications providers is needed to survive in an intensely competitive field. Target setting. Providing a quality data-heavy transfer is a major factor in increasing the role and importance of investment activity in achieving the strategic targets of telecommunications providers. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. There are works dedicated to the problems and the value of ICT investment, but on the general issues of telecommunications. However, in the scientific literature surveyed, the investment activity of telecom providers is not addressed as it is in this paper. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The study of telecommunications providers’ investment requires separate research that will address the issues in the context of ongoing changes. The research objective. The purpose of this research is a study of conditions, problems and trends of telecommunications providers’ investment activity. The statement of basic materials. The trends of European and Ukrainian telecommunications providers’ activity suggest that current providers should consider investment activities that solve higher important strategic tasks when ICT technologies spread very quickly. Due to the existing complex problems, telecommunication providers in Ukraine, especially Ukrtelecom, which accounts for 14% of the market, are unable to provide sufficient and timely amounts of investment. As a result, the needed investment in facilities is lacking. This situation negatively influences the rate of penetration and diffusion of new generations of ICT in Ukraine compared with developed countries. Conclusions. To overcome the existing technology gap in the implementation of investment activities by Ukrainian telecommunication providers, the main emphasis should be given to the selection of investment directions. This will provide not only the modernization of their networks, but also the basis of future long-term development. The conditions and effectiveness of telecommunication providers investment activities are becoming more important not only according to strategic development, but also in terms of the availability of modern ICT.

Thus the logical question raises, what are the causes and consequences of such a situation and what actions must be taken by the Government in terms of changes to the conditions of investment and assurance of investment capital preservation.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The issue on investment regulation was studied in the works of such domestic scientists as M. Butko, O. Volskaya, E. Hryhorenko, B. Danylyshyn, V. Martynenko, A. Merzliak, A. Peresada, T. Pokotylo, M. Chernukha and others. However, it should be noted that the majority of these scientists conduct their research in the economic sphere.
Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Issues of the impact of state institutions on investment processes in Ukraine remain beyond their consideration, and especially cooperation with international financial and donor organizations, thus the total number of scientific research in this field is insignificant.
The research objective. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to develop proposals concerning functional support of the state institutes in the sphere of attracting and maintaining foreign investment.
The statement of basic materials. Understanding of the investment process differs in some ways if it is seen in the context of governmental and economic science approach. Thus, the Law of Ukraine "On investment activity" defines investment activity as combination of practical actions of citizens, legal entities, and the state in the sphere of implementation of investments [1]. That is, investment activity is considered as a specific interaction between citizens, business and state institutions.
Conclusions. The investment climate in Ukraine requires significant improvement. Disintegration of the authority’s actions regarding the investment promotion at various levels is leading to the virtual absence of the institutional mechanism of regulation in the investment sphere.

Purpose. The article is devoted to the development of a power facility personnel control system using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The main components of this system are RFID readers and RFID tags attached to personnel's clothing. The process involves video surveillance, monitoring and access control systems at a power facility. The alert and information control system at a power facility under normal operating conditions can improve the quality of production and technological process management through the use of a video surveillance system and access control, and in case of a fire or emergency it plots a safe route to the emergency exit and provides information about the presence of people in the room. Methods. Based on calculations, the dependence of the values of energy and modulating range parameters on the choice of RFID tags and readers for various conditions of use is obtained. Findings. Calculation, using formulas (1) and (2) for the values of the stationary reader parameters in the 900 MHz range (P = 1 W, GR = 4, λ = 30 cm, SR = –100 dBW, kE = 0.5) and tags with antennas in the form of half-wave dipoles (Ae = 0.01 m2, Δσ = 0.06 m2, S = 30 μW) allows obtaining the energy range RE ≈ 7 m, and the modulation range RM ≈ 25 m. In the design process the use of formulas (1) – (5) allows determining the RFID equipment technical parameters, which provide the required coverage range. Research application field. It is advisable to include the results of the study in the research and development work of the research organizations of EMERCOM of Russia and other ministries and departments. Conclusions. The development of the system for personnel warning and access control at a power facility using radio frequency identification will make it possible not only to ensure production and technological process control, having information about the exact people's location, but also to evacuate personnel to a safe area in case of a fire or emergency.

Purpose. Existing methods for checking the quality of intumescent coatings do not allow determining the implicit properties of these coatings, for example, the properties of foamed coke (FC), which is formed from a layer of intumescent paint during a fire. The authors analyze the issues of developing a measuring tool kit to evaluate intumescent coatings outside the laboratory, thus minimizing the possibility of using inappropriate quality paints and excluding violations of the work technology. Methods. The work uses theoretical research and experimental methods for measuring physical and mechanical parameters. Findings. The results of studies of the FC structural and mechanical properties obtained from the most popular intumescent paints Defender M Solvent are given. A scheme for a comprehensive assessment of intumescent coating properties is developed. To assess the FC quality a set of measuring tools is proposed, including equipment of our own design. Research application field. The results obtained are the basis for the development of an express analysis methodology for intumescent coatings quality directly at the construction site to ensure fire safety of these facilities. Conclusions. The proposed measuring tool kit makes it possible to assess the quality of the foamed coke by the following parameters: layer thickness, intumescent coefficient, compressive strength, shear-detachment strength. This set of parameters is sufficient for assessing the working properties of a fire proof coating and allows revealing hidden defects of the intumescent paint directly at the place of its application.

Purpose. The increase in number and scales of emergencies consequences, the complexity of the tasks for the solution of which rescue units must be ready requires predicting the results of planned actions and applying mathematical modeling methods to substantiate decisions. The use of mathematical models should help reveal the patterns of rescue units actions on improving the principles of their application, methods of fulfilling their support tasks. Analytical models make it possible to establish formula dependence between the conditions of the situation, the elements of the decision to be made and the effectiveness of the task performance according to the selected criterion. Statistical methods make it possible to more fully take into account the probabilistic nature of the simulated processes and they are most effective in cases when the analytical description of the simulated process presents great difficulties, or it is practically impossible due to significant uncertainty of the initial information. The best results can be obtained with the combined use of analytical and statistical models: the analytical model allows approximately figuring out the basic laws of the phenomenon, outlining its contours, and any further clarification can be obtained by statistical modeling. Therefore, the article discusses the use of the statistical test method for organizing implementation of first priority engineering tasks performed by rescue units. Methods. To obtain the results general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge including analysis, synthesis, generalization were used; they were based on the provisions of systems theory, operations research, information theory and the method of statistical tests. Findings. A scientific and methodological approach is developed to improve the effectiveness of emergency rescue units use in the emergency area on the example of their equipping a field water supply point. Research application field. The results are applicable to substantiate a set of means for performing tasks and operations by rescue teams. Conclusions. The developed scientific and methodological approach makes it possible to assess the effectiveness of organizing the tasks performance in the emergency area by emergency rescue teams in general, and, in particular, equipping the field water supply point, and it also serves as a basis for improving the work of management bodies at all levels.
