Published: December 2022

Introduction: Eating disorders are serious illnesses that create substantial disruptions in the eating practices of individuals who suffer from them. Bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorders are two of the most common types of eating disorders.1 Eating disorders are mental conditions that are characterised by aberrant eating patterns and have the potential to adversely affect a person’s physical as well as mental health. Aims: The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not structured teaching programmes are effective in increasing students’ awareness of bulimia nervosa among adolescents attending selected professional colleges in Karad City. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted using an evaluative research approach, and the sample size was set at sixty individuals who were chosen using a nonprobability convenient selection technique. The self-structured knowledge questionnaire on Bulimia Nervosa was used to acquire the necessary data for this study. The surveys are divided into two parts: the first part seeks participants’ personal information, and the second part contains 25 multiple-choice questions designed to gauge adolescents’ level of familiarity with bulimia nervosa. Result: The mean score in this study was 8.9, and the standard deviation was 3.393. Approximately 58.3% of the participants had average knowledge, 16.6% bad knowledge about the subjects, and 25% had good knowledge related bulimia nervosa in the pretest. On the other hand, the results of the posttest showed that the mean score was 16.1 and the standard deviation was 3.904. In the posttest, 76.60 percent of students shown good knowledge regarding bulimia nervosa, 23.30 percent demonstrated mediocre knowledge, and zero percent demonstrated bad knowledge regarding the subject. Conclusion: It has been determined that the teaching programme on knowledge of bulimia nervosa among students is effective, and students’ knowledge has increased from an average knowledge score to an excellent knowledge score.
Numerical and Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Thin Hard Coatings on the Strength of Spur Gears
Authors: Baragetti Sergio
Published: December 2022

Abstract: The use of thin films to coat mechanical components is a well-established practice. The main uses concern areas in which scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, surface hardness and particular aesthetic characteristics are required. In addition to these properties, it has been demonstrated that Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes bring further benefits from a structural point of view, especially as regards fatigue and contact fatigue phenomena. In this research work, predictive models have been proposed which allow to evaluate the mechanical behavior of coated components to model the initiation and propagation of cracks. Spur gears used in the automotive and motorcycle industries were examined. Therefore, advanced numerical models were developed to accurately evaluate the stress-strain state of the components under examination, both as regards the fatigue at the tooth base and for the contact fatigue on the tooth flank. The results of the numerical models were finally compared with the results of the experimental tests to verify their accuracy.

Abstract. The dispersal of aquatic organisms has especially increased since the 19th century, mainly due to the introduction of metal ships with ballast compartments or with birds. Along with easily visible aquatic organisms, there are invasions of less noticeable aquatic organisms, like copepods, which can mainly be recognized by experts. A special group is made up of cryptic species for which morphological identification is inaccessible or very difficult. This review is devoted to the identification, description and analysis of the dispersal routes of three copepod cryptic species complexes into waterbodies. Using molecular-genetic methods, Eurytemora carolleeae introduction were revealed in 2007. After describing this invader as a new species, its distribution was also studied using morphology. The invasions of Acanthocyclops americanus and Eurytemora caspica were mainly studied using morphological methods since the species have already been described; however, molecular-genetic methods were also used to confirm their distinctions from local forms. The real distribution of the former cosmopolitan species Eucyclops serrulatus was studied using a multidisciplinary approach that combined molecular-genetic, cross-hybridization and morphological methods. Judging by the distribution of local E. serrulatus sensu stricto populations in coastal waterbodies of most continents, this species can apparently serve as a good marker of the species dispersal processes with ships. The three possible scenarios resulting from cryptic species introductions and their interaction with local fauna were competitive displacement (A. americanus), competitive coexistence (E. carrolleeae) and independent development without competition (E. serrulatus). The role of cryptic species invasion in aquatic biodiversity modification is discussed.

Abstract. Cell cultures are needed in various fields: the study of cell structure and function, models in drug screening, and other biomedical applications. Most tissue-derived cells can only grow on solid substrates. Thus, cell culturing involves three steps: cell adhesion on the surface, cell growth and division on the surface, and cell detachment from the surface for further use. Thermo- and pH-sensitive polymers are promising substances for cell culture coatings. Changes in temperature and/or pH can drastically change surface properties, resulting in gentle cell detachment. We synthesized copolymers with pendant imidazole and hydrophobic groups that exhibit the properties of weak polymeric bases capable of thermosensitivity due to hydrophobic interactions. Plastic surface can easily be coated with copolymers by pouring over the copolymer solution. The modified plastic surface is a good substrate for culturing adenocarcinomic human alveolar epithelial cells. The cells show strong adhesion to the copolymer film and high viability after detachment under the influence of temperature and/or pH changes.

Abstract. The review examines the work on biodiversity in the reservoirs of Eastern Siberia of a wide, but poorly studied group of organisms forming siliceous scales and bristles these are scaled chrysophytes, chrysophycean stomatocysts and heterotrophic protists: rotosphaerids, colorless free-living thaumatomonad flagellates, centrohelid heliozoans. The difficulty in studying these objects is the need to use electron microscopy for their species identification. High biodiversity of silica scaled Protozoa has been revealed in the reservoirs of Eastern Siberia and the relationship of their species composition with the parameters of the aquatic environment, including in areas of local anthropogenic impact, has been shown. The recorded enrichment of the mouths of Arctic rivers with boreal species is important for predicting changes in aquatic ecosystems in the context of GCC. The proposed scenario of the settlement of siliceous chrysophytes at the beginning of the Holocene may be valid for other small planktonic organisms. The high degree of preservation of siliceous stomatocysts in sediments allows them to be used as an additional signal of changes in lake ecosystems in the past, this is based in particular on the reconstruction of the ecosystem and changes in the level of Lake Vorota (Yakutia) in the Holocene-Upper Pleistocene.

Abstract. The delimitation of species within the endemic sponge family Lubomirskiidae is difficult. Along with specimens falling within the range of morphological variability of previously described specimens, we found specimens with intermediate morphological characteristics. The largest number of such specimens had intermediate characteristics between representatives of the genera Lubomirskia and Baikalospongia. For some species of these genera, a common feature is the structure of megasclera in the form of oxeas of a similar size. At the same time, the genera Swartschewskia and Rezinkovia have less variable morphological characteristics, so the identification of species belonging to these genera based on morphology is not difficult. The results of our study indicate the need for delimitation of Lubomirskiidae species based on molecular data.

Authors: Al-Derzi Aida R.
Published: December 2022

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic synovial inflammation. The insufficient immune clearance of the apoptotic cell results into the formation of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies which may play a critical role in the initiations of inflammatory responses. These antibodies together with Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 play an important role in joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis disease.Objectives: to study the value of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, and Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 in differentiation between active and inactive rheumatoid arthritis.Patients and Methods: A cross- sectional study was conducted on 60 Iraqi patients with rheumatoid arthritis (16 males and 44 females) aging from 29 to 74 years who presented to the Rheumatology Consultation Clinic of Baghdad Teaching Hospital / Medical City during the period of July 2013 to the end of October 2013. The patients were divided, according to rheumatoid arthritis activity depending on Disease Activity Score 28 and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, into two groups: 30 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and the other 30 patients with inactive rheumatoid arthritis. Quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique was used to measure serum level of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, and Matrix Metalloproteinase-3.Results: The means concentration of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, and Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 were significantly higher in rheumatoid arthritis cases with active disease compared to those with inactive disease. The disease activity index DAS28 showed a statistically significant strong positive (direct) linear correlation with serum MMP3 (r=0.762) and serum ACCP (r=0.806). In addition, serum MMP3 showed a statistically significant moderately strong positive (direct) linear correlation with serum ACCP (r=0.64). Both serum MMP3 and ACCP had a higher validity than blood ESR (which is used itself in calculating DAS28) is predicting an active disease status.Conclusion: Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies and Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 could be useful biological markers for assessment of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity.

Published: December 2022

Considering the lack of elevator capacities and the imbalance in the distribution of commodity flows due to the occupation and blocking of seaports, other modes of transport are currently unable to provide the required volumes of grain for export, and the safety of the harvest is under threat. Therefore, the issue of logistics development in war conditions is urgent, which determines the relevance of the study. The purpose of the study is to analyse the pre-war and current state of the grain logistics system and to identify efficient ways of its development during the war and after its end. The study is based on the following methods: dialectical, historical, monographic, abstract-logical, systematic and classification, analytical forecasting, statistical, economic, economic-mathematical, and graphical. Investigated the length of roads in Ukraine and forecasted the reduction of roads due to military operations. The analysis of exportimport logistics was performed, and the advantages of maritime transport were determined, the share of which in exports was 99.5%, and in imports, the majority of transportation was by rail (44.9%). The state of elevator capacities was explored, the lack of which in 2021 amounted to 18.3 million tons (17.4%), the volume of their losses due to hostilities in 2022 was determined – 12.6 million tons (22.2%), the impact of the war on the growth of prices for grain storage services was analysed. A critical analysis of the infrastructure projects of the National Council for the Restoration of Ukraine from the Consequences of the War is performed and identified their disadvantages. The proposed measures to improve logistics will allow for reducing the lack of elevator capacities, increasing grain exports, accelerating the movement of products across the border and reducing logistics costs. The results of the research can be used by public authorities in the establishment of programs for the development of agrarian logistics, business structures – for the development of infrastructure projects and improvement of logistics systems of enterprises, scientists – for further investigation of grain logistics problems and determining the prospects for its development.

Unalloyed titanium VT10 with a record value of the ultimate tensile strength of 1350 MPa obtained using technologies of selective laser melting and rotary swaging. This value exceeds by 3 times the tensile strength of commercially pure titanium produced using conventional technologies and also exceeds the strength values of Ti6Al4V (grade 5) high strength titanium alloy. The reasons of the increase in the strength characteristics of titanium VT10 are the finedispersed marten site obtained due to high crystallization rates in the process of selective laser melting, and its additional refinement during the rotary swaging process. To study the thermal stability of the mechanical properties of titanium VT10 processed using various technologies, research of the effect of annealing temperature in the range of 100–800 °C on the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure were carried out. Results have shown that the dependence of the ultimate tensile strength on the annealing temperature for VT10 titanium samples after selective laser melting and rotary swaging has a threestage behavior. The ultimate tensile strength decrease by 25–35% after heat treatment at 800 °C. The values of elongation to failure for VT10 titanium samples processed by selective laser melting and rotary swaging monotonically increase from 8–12 to 18–23% when the annealing temperature grows up to 800 °C. The possibilities of methods of selective laser melting, rotary swaging and heat treatment to control the mechanical characteristics of titanium VT10, which is a promising material for the manufacture of osteointegrable medical implants, are demonstrated. The combined application of the abovementioned methods makes it possible to produce VT10 titanium with a given combination of strength and plastic characteristics in a wide range of values.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common pathogenic agent responsible for respiratory viral infections in infants and young children. Therefore, the importance of research in the field has been driven by the need for effective preventive tools against RSV infection for children, especially those at high risk of severe RSV disease. Despite the on-going efforts to develop RSV vaccines, the passive immunization of children with a drug called palivizumab is the only reliable option for prophylactic use against RSV. The article presents data on the passive immunization carried out in Moscow in the 2021–2022 season, including the following: the patient routing, indications for immunization, and the organization of the immunization process. It also provides authors’ own data on the number of immunized preterm children born with low and extremely low birth weight which were collected during 11 immunization seasons. The article also reviews the structure of morbidity in this group of children. The authors emphasize a high prevalence of the comorbidity of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. KEYWORDS: respiratory syncytial virus, preterm infants, very low body weight, very low birth weight (VLBW), extremely low birth weight (ELBW), bronchopulmonary dysplasia, immunoprophylaxis, palivizumab.

In the context of the European Erasmus+ project Teaching ASTronomy at the Educational level (TASTE), we investigated to what extent secondary school students of four participating countries (Belgium, Germany, Greece and Italy) have insight in the Apparent Motion of the Sun and Stars. The systematic design of the AMoSS test instrument allowed us to detect differences in understanding of the apparent motion of the Sun and stars. We administered the test with 12 multiple choice questions to 13-17 years old students of 5 European secondary schools (N=348) during a science lesson in school. We also asked them to explain their choices. We found similar results in the four countries: most students only demonstrate a rudimentary understanding of the apparent motion of the Sun and stars for different times during the day, different times during the year and different locations of the observer on Earth. Moreover, we see a clear distinction between the responses to the Sun-related and the star-related questions. In general, the questions about the Sun are answered more correctly than the questions about the stars. By using one classification system for the four countries we were able to compare written explanations in different languages. In combination with a latent class analysis, we identified different mental models that students use to answer questions about the apparent motion of the Sun and stars.

The Kaligawe Genuk area is the main route for the North Coast (Pantura) of Java.
The area is the gateway to the city of Semarang from the east direction. Since 2005,
this area has frequently had floods caused by tides (tidal floods) and rainfall. The
Central Government, supported by the Semarang City Government, built the Kali
Tenggang and Sringin Polder systems from 2016 to 2019. In terms of capacity, this
system is not yet perfect for dealing with floods, and it requires efforts so that the
system can be operated optimally. This study activity aims to simulate rainfall flow
rate, the pump capacity, and the retention pond. The simulation results will become
the basis for the development of the polder system operational manual. The
implementation method collects secondary rainfall data, reviewing the condition of
a catchment area, retention pond, and pump station. Focus group discussion with
stakeholders done in the Kaligawe Genuk area. The location of the activity is more
focused on the Kali Sringin area. This study produces tables and graphs of pump
capacity simulation, retention ponds, and an operational manual for the Sringin

İklim değişikliği insan sağlığını doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak kısa veya uzun süreli etkileyebilir. Aşırı hava sıcakları kalp-damar hastalıklarına, solunum rahatsızlıklarına ve ruhsal problemlere neden olabildiği gibi doğrudan ölümlere de yol açabilmektedir. Kuraklık insan sağlığını dolaylı olarak gıda ve su güvenliğinin bozulması açısından etkilerken, sel ve kasırga gibi ani gelişen aşırı hava olayları önemli ölçüde can kaybına sebep olmakta, yakınlarını kaybeden bireyler için çeşitli ruhsal problemlerin kaynağı hâline gelmektedir. Sellerin doğrudan fiziksel etkilerinin yanında, dolaylı olarak güvenli suya erişimi etkilediği ve su yoluyla bulaşan hastalıklara neden olduğu bilinmektedir. Diğer taraftan sıcaklık ve yağış rejimindeki değişimler birçok canlının göç etmesi yoluyla vektör kaynaklı hastalıkların alansal genişlemesine ve enfekte olan kişi sayısının artmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu gelişmeler dikkate alınarak çalışmada iklim değişikliği kaynaklı hastalıklar genel boyutuyla araştırılmış ve spesifik olarak vektörel hastalıklar detaylıca incelenerek, bu hastalıkların ortaya çıkmasına neden olan iklimsel riskler değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca mevcut iklimsel değişimlere bağlı ortaya çıkan hastalıklar ile yakın ve orta vade projeksiyonları kapsamında iklim değişikliğinin Türkiye’de sağlık etkileri boyutu araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca iklim değişikliği kapsamında ulusların sağlık etkilenebilirliği ve sağlık sistemi uyumu değerlendirmelerine de yer verilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, aşırı hava olaylarının yaşanma süresi, sıklığı ve şiddetinin giderek artmasıyla insan sağlığı için risk teşkil eden hastalıklarda ve buna bağlı etki boyutlarında artış olacağı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. İklim değişikliği ve aşırı hava olayları ile yaşam alanları genişleyen ve göç eden vektörlerin insan sağlığı açısından büyük risk oluşturacağı elde edilen bir diğer bulgudur. Araştırmada uzun vadede aşırı hava olaylarının su ve gıda güvenliği açısından oluşturabileceği risklerin, hâlihazırda açlık, yetersiz beslenme ve yetersiz sanitasyon sonucu ortaya çıkan hastalıkların görüldüğü bölge ve insan popülasyonunu arttırabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu kapsamda aşırı hava olaylarından etkilenme düzeyi ve potansiyel riskleri ele alan çalışmalardan hareketle, Türkiye’de gelecekte birçok vektörün yaşayabileceği ideal iklim koşullarının oluşması ve vektörel hastalıklarda artış görülmesi beklenebilir.
Van Kent Merkezinin Sosyal ve Ekonomik Zarargörebilirliği

Published: December 2022

Van kent merkezini oluşturan Tuşba, İpekyolu ve Edremit ilçelerinin deprem tehlikelerine karşı sosyal ve ekonomik zarargörebilirliğini ele alan bu araştırma, yerel ve ulusal kaynaklardan elde edilmiş verilere dayanmaktadır. Geçmişte birçok depreme maruz kalmış ve bu depremlerde büyük kayıplar vermiş Van ilinin gelecekte de benzer yıkıcı depremlere maruz kalacağını gösteren birçok araştırma bulunmaktadır. Sismik aktivitenin yoğun olduğu bir yerleşkeye kurulmuş olan kentin olası depremlere karşı her an hazır olması gerekmektedir. Araştırma kapsamında kentin zarargörebilirliğini etkileyen değişkenler uzman görüşleri etrafında belirlenmiştir. Bu değişkenlerle ilgili veriler yerel ve ulusal kaynaklardan elde edilmiştir. Ardından söz konusu veriler sayısallaştırılarak CBS/GIS programına aktarılmış ve kent merkezinin zarargörebilirlik harita ve tabloları oluşturulmuştur. Kent merkezini oluşturan 37 mahallede ikamet eden nüfusun sosyal ve ekonomik özelliklerini ortaya koyan araştırma geliştirdiği ölçek üzerinden kentin zarargörebilir yönlerini ortaya koymaktadır. Benzer araştırmalardan farklı olarak zarargörebilir unsurların kent coğrafyasına dağılımını gösteren araştırma, kent merkezinin hangi açıdan ne düzeyde zarargörebilir olduğunu açıklamaktadır. Yapılan tespitler kentin düşük eğitim özellikleri, hassas nüfus grupları ve yoksul kesimleri itibariyle zarargörebilir olduğunu göstermektedir. Özellikle okuryazar olmayan nüfus grupları, afetlerden sakınım konusunda farkındalık düzeyini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Benzer şekilde kalabalık hane nüfusu ile işsiz ve niteliksiz kadınların yoğunluğu kentin zarargörebilirliğini arttırmaktadır. Güvencesiz yaşlı nüfus ile yoğun çocuk nüfusu kenti sosyal kırılganlığını arttırmaktadır. Öte taraftan kentin ekonomik özellikleriyle de kırılgan olduğu gözlenmiştir. Nüfusun %26 (123.087) ’sı çeşitli biçimlerde vakıflardan yardım almaktadırlar. Yine vakıf verilerinden hareketle 44.360 hane ekonomik açıdan çok zayıf, zayıf veya normal kategoride olduğu gözlenmiştir. Gelir özellikleri açısından Türkiye’yi gerilerden takip eden Van Kentinde özellikle 8.273 çok zayıf veya zayıf hane mevcut halleriyle afet olmadan afet koşullarını yaşamaktadırlar. Nihayetinde birçok farklı gösterge üzerinden yapılan analizlerde Van kent merkezinin sosyal ve ekonomik açıdan kırılgan olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kent merkezinin sosyal ve ekonomik zarargörebilirliği merkez mahallelerden çevre mahallelere doğru gittikçe artmaktadır.

Risk analysis of management of water systems in the Russian Federation
Authors: Bolgov M. V.
Published: December 2022

The management of the water management complex is based on the analysis of a large number of processes developing in systems that are techno-natural  in nature, on the one hand, and in complex socio-economic systems affecting the whole society as a whole, on the other. The management methods implemented in practice today are based mainly on the analysis of the functioning of individual parts (individual processes) of the system, ideas about the processes under consideration are often not consistent, especially when it comes to technical and social systems. Regulatory management  methods,  including  technical  regulation,  are  considered separately. Socio-economic processes at different levels of temporal and spatial organization are investigated and predicted independently. At the same time, of course, regulatory legal knowledge is taken into account, but resource restrictions may fall out or be ignored, society is immune to instructions and recommendations lowered from above, legal nihilism takes place, the problem of qualification of decision-makers arises, etc.

Certain possibilities for analyzing such situations are provided by risk theory methods. The purpose of the article is to analyze the risks arising at various stages of justifying water management measures, from design to strategies for the development of the industry as a whole. In particular, traditional methods of engineering calculations are considered, which ensure a given level of reliability of the designed water construction facilities in relation to hazardous impacts (loads), which are based on the concept of design probabilities. This approach provides a normative level of reliability, but does not guarantee the economic optimality of decisions made, is insufficient to  implement  the  social functions  of measures  and  structures,  and  is difficult to  analyze environmental problems. Obtaining quantitative estimates of the parameters of structures and measures, carried out on the basis of probabilistic approaches, should be based at least on taking into account the possible consequences of decisions taken, as well as on damage assessments expressed in the form of relevant risks.
