Technical and economic assessment of the repair of weapons and military equipment’s repair.
Authors: Melnyk B. , Ovcharenko Ig. , Novikova Ir.
Published: December 2023

The analysis of divisions and military units’ use in the course of hostilities during the Russian-Ukrainian war allows us to state that one of the main factors that affects the success in completing tasks is the availability of operational samples of weapons and military equipment. At the same time, one of the main sources of serviceable samples of weapons and military equipment being received by units (military units) in the course of hostilities is their return from stationary and mobile repair and restoration military units (units) after carrying out measures to restore them.

Accordingly, during the restoration of damaged samples of weapons and military equipment, spare parts, assemblies, aggregates, component equipment, etc. are consumed, that must be purchased from manufacturers, which led to financial and economic costs.

Therefore, the work proposes a methodical approach to evaluating the economic efficiency of repairing samples of weapons and military equipment.

This approach takes into account two directions: financial and economic costs for the repair of weapons and military equipment in stationary conditions and in mobile repair and restoration military units (subunits). During the repair of weapons and military equipment in stationary conditions, the main financial costs will be directed to: the basic salary of repair specialists, basic materials, spare parts, workshop overheads, general overheads, costs for the development of new types of products and special costs.

And during the repair of weapons and military equipment in repair and restoration military units (units), the main costs will be directed to the purchase of new parts, assemblies, units, the cost of depreciation of equipment, the cost of maintaining the personnel of repair specialists, the average cost of the operational kit.
Control and diagnostics of sequential digital structures.
Authors: Khoroshko V. , Klimovych S. , Yankovskyi O.
Published: December 2023

In the modern world of digital electronics, sequential digital structures are integral components of many electronic systems and devices. Such systems and devices find extensive applications across various domains of human endeavor, including communication systems, automatic, and automated devices. The tasks associated with monitoring and diagnosing these systems come with certain challenges. Research in this field holds particular significance for ensuring the resilience and reliability of digital systems in contemporary technological environments. In this context, the study of the characteristics of diagnosing sequential digital structures assumes a special importance. Diagnosing, in this context, refers to the systematic solving of problems related to determining the technical condition, localizing malfunctions (down to individual radio-electronic components), and forecasting the technical state over a specific period. Identifying individual Radio-Electronic Components (RECs) within a digital system means pinpointing a specific microchip whose functioning does not meet the technical specifications. This is crucial, as microchips, despite their complexity and multifunctionality, constitute minimal replaceable units. Monitoring the technical condition is especially crucial in systems containing a large number of interacting sequential digital elements.

One of the key challenges in developing methods for monitoring sequential digital structures is their sheer numerical size and the presence of a multitude of logical elements, each of which can be a potential source of error when performing basic logical operations. Hence, engineers have to devise novel, efficient methods and algorithms for error detection in such systems.

Published: December 2023

The consumer acceptability of wines depends upon theira specific aroma and sensory characteristics which depend largely on metabolites contributed by grapes as well as fermenting yeast. Such metabolites can be encouraged in wines through fermentation management which is one of the key steps in wine quality control by supplementation of UFAs, microoxygenation etc. and quantifying the wine quality through metabolomics. Hence, enologists as well as wine industries have been increasingly working on the most efficient practices to produce high-quality wine that caters to both the aroma and taste of wine. Studies have been conducted to improve wine quality by mining the quality traits of fermentation yeast (S. cerevisiae). Different strains of yeast produce varying quality and quantity of metabolites like amino acids, nitrogen and unsaturated fatty acids during fermentation which provides wine its distinctive characteristics. In the present study, ethanol production was significantly increased with supplementation of oleic acid. Further, a micro-oxygenation process has been developed that revealedan increased production of various metabolites such as total phenols (24.28%) as well as improvement in colour intensity (4.67%) over three months when an oxygen dosagee of 0.025 LPM is supplied in an incremental manner. Metabolomics is utilized to quantitatively measure the small number of known metabolites in wine thus providing a better understanding of the fine volatile metabolites and the basis for wine flavor profile.

Spathodea campanulata a perennial tree identified the potential source of natural dye obtained from the flower at forest college and research institute, mettupalayam during 2016-2017. Spathodea campanulata produces a flower dye that has a wide variety of uses like antimicrobial, anti-fungal, antitumor, etc. So the natural dye extracted from African tulip flowers is found to be environmentally friendly and medical value in nature. To identify various components, the dye is analyzed through Gas chromatography and Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) using the extract prepared from Soxhlet apparatus using methanol. The following compounds were identified in GCMS analysis, Pectinose Beta-GALACTOSIDASE (yellow), 1-Hexadecanol(Cetyl alcohol), Dodecane (substitute for kerosene fuel), Methyl stearate (ester). The spectrum of the unknown component was compared with the spectrum of the known components stored in the inbuilt library. The extraction of dye from Spathodea campanulata can be done easily and a wide spectrum color range is also available which will be helpful to replace the synthetic dyes. This study may give information on the possible production of natural dyestuff components on a large scale as a source of natural dye.

Electromagnetic waves in physics are waves composed of a magnetic field and an electric field whose propagation does not require an intermediary medium. Magnetic fields with Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) frequencies have a frequency range of 0 to 300 Hz. Electromagnetic waves can propagate without needing a medium, so they are called electromagnetic radiation with various types of electromagnetic waves which are differentiated based on their frequency. Electric fields are easily blocked, so their intensity will decrease if they are blocked by objects. Meanwhile, magnetic fields have characteristics that are not easily blocked so they can penetrate almost all materials. The aim of this conducted research is to examine the influence of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic field exposure on pH in the tempe fermentation process. This research uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) research design to examine the effect of several treatments with a number of replications for several experiments. The research findings indicate that exposure to Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic fields affects the pH in the tempe fermentation process, as depicted by the variations in the tables presented in the research results. Tempe is one of the fermented products that generally uses soybeans as the main raw material that has been fermented and has excellent nutritional content. Fermentation in making tempe occurs due to the activity of the mold Rhyzopus oligosporus which is able to produce phytase enzymes that function to hydrolyze phytic acid into inositol and phosphate.

This article focuses on the study of the evolution of internal migratory exchanges between all administrative regions of the Algerian territory between the years 1987 and 2008. The objective of this article is to quantify the intensity and concentration of internal migratory flows, the spatial orientation of migrants, the regions of preference, as well as the efficiency of interregional migration in Algeria. For this, we used the net migration rate, the Gini Coefficient index, the preference index, as well as the regional and national efficiency index. In order to carry out this work, we have created the matrices of migratory flows between the nine Algerian administrative regions based on migration data, which is published by the national statistics office. The results obtained show that migrations took place from the South to the North, with a preference for the Capital region and that for the Eastern Highlands. In terms of the efficiency of migratory flows, the redistribution of the population is very low, which makes the regional imbalance persistent, unless the regional planning policy is modified by developing new plans and methods to reduce the interregional imbalance.
LA RÉPARTITION GÉOGRAPHIQUE DES POPULATIONS DE BUFFLES ÉLEVÉES SUR LE TERRITOIRE DE LA ROUMANIE AU DERNIER SIÈCLE
Authors:   Institut de Géographie de l’Académie Roumaine, GEACU SORIN
Published: December 2023

After bulls, buffaloes are the most important group of cattle. Buffalo populations have an obvious practical importance for milk production and, to a lesser extent, for muscle work (traction for various agricultural works). A geographical approach to the presence of water buffaloes in Romania has not been carried out until this day. On the territory of Romania, buffaloes are raised only in rural households. Between 1920 and 1980, the number of buffaloes varied between 135,000 and 180,000 head. The lowest number (135,000 specimens) was recorded in 1946, and the maximum population (almost 200,000 specimens) was reached in 1985, the largest in the previous century. Subsequently, the number of buffaloes decreased sharply, so that in 2019 the population was 90% smaller compared to that of 1985, the causes of this decrease being rather convoluted. The main breeding area of this mammal is Transylvania.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Dental anxiety is a common problem among children, and it can have a significant impact on their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the impact of dental anxiety on OHRQoL in children in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Methods: A cohort of 200 children aged 6-12 years was recruited from six elementary schools in Jakarta. Dental anxiety was assessed using the Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. OHRQoL was measured using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14) at the same time points. Sociodemographic data and oral health status were also collected. Linear mixed models were used to assess the association between dental anxiety and OHRQoL over time, adjusting for potential confounders.
Results: Dental anxiety was significantly associated with lower OHRQoL scores at all time points. Children with higher dental anxiety scores reported more problems with oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional well-being, and social well-being. This association persisted even after adjusting for age, gender, socioeconomic status, and oral health status.
Conclusion: Dental anxiety has a significant negative impact on OHRQoL in children. Early identification and management of dental anxiety are crucial to improve children's oral health and overall well-being.

Evaluations of Sources on the History of the Relations between the Yuan Dynasty and the Golden Horde
Authors: YILDIRIM Kürşat
Published: December 2023

As it is known, there are some sources that we can learn about the history of the relations between Yuan Dynasty and Golden Horde. However, it is necessary to understand the nature of these detailed, regular, and sometimes even incomprehensible records, and to be familiar with the purposes of writing them. There are few scattered Chinese records about the Golden Horde and historians don’t have many choices to write a history. Although we have some Yuan sources, it is impossible to write a general history of the relations between the Golden Horde and Yuan based on Chinese sources only, albeit in general terms. We will make some evaluations on this issue in our article.
Linguistic analysis of fiction texts in the context of the frame theory
Authors: Kozak Sofiia , Ieliseienko Anna , Zhylin Mykhailo , Chernysh Anna , Chystiak Dmytro
Published: December 2023

The aim of the study is to identify and analyse frame structures, activators, and concepts in texts to reveal their impact on the reader' s perception. The research employed the methods of semantic, structural, and intertextual frame analysis. Cronbach' s alpha was also used to verify the instruments used. The following cases were used in the work: Oxford English Corpus and International Corpus of English (ICE). It is noted that frame activators such as "great heat", "hell heat", "hot wind", and "scorching sun" evoke associations with scorching heat and unusual warmth in the desert. These frames convey the impression of life danger, exhaustion, and severity of conditions. In turn, phraseological units such as "fresh waters", "bloody sunset", and "dried earth" reveal the contradictory nature of the image of the desert, where even such natural phenomena as water and sunset acquire a new, deep shade of meaning. The application of this theory was found to reveal complex language structures and their influence on the understanding and perception of texts. The obtained results open up new opportunities for educational and literary analysis, deepening the understanding of language mechanisms in fiction. Further studies in the field of linguistic analysis of texts should be aimed at considering the interaction between different works of art, focusing on the frame perspective. It is also worth paying attention to the possibilities of using the theory of frames to fulfill practical assignments, such as automatic text analysis.

All rats were killed after various intervals(25,30,35,40,or 45d). At the end of each time interval, we collected the blood of each rat. To detect TNF-α and IL-1βin plasma with radio-immunity kit. Results: BⅡC and CFA can be used to copying CIA model. The incidence of arthritis was 88%. The plasma TNF-α and IL-1βlevels of CIA group, BZXD group and MTX group were notably higher than those of normal control group(p<0.05), moreover, the CIA group was higher than those of the MTX group and BZXD group at various interval (p<0.01). TNF-α and IL-1βrose step by step in CIA group but decreased in BZXD group and MTX group gradually. Moreover, in BZXD group were lower than those in MTX group (p<0.05). Conclusion: TNF-α and IL-1βplay a very important role in the formation and development of RA. BZXD can notably decrease the plasma TNF-α and IL-1βlevels, which was better than MTX.

Angioid streaks (AS) are hereditary eye conditions caused by breaks in the elastic layer of Bruch's membrane. Patients with AS are also frequently affected with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). The locus of PXE has been reported to exist in chromosome 16p13.1, and the ABCC6 gene in this locus has been identified as the causal gene of PXE. In this study we investigated the association of the ABCC6 gene and AS. Elucidation of the causal gene of AS will be useful for gene diagnosis in the future. Many mutations in patients with PXE are found in exons 24 and 27 of the ABCC6 gene in previous reports. Therefore, we examined exons 24 and 27 of the ABCC6 gene using the single-strand conformation polymorphism technique. There was no mutation or polymorphism in exon 24. The base substitution of G3803A was identified in exon 27, with a change in the amino acid from CGG to CAG (R1268Q). The genotype frequencies in patients with AS were G/G 52% (23/44), G/A 32% (14/44) and A/A 16% (14/44). In control subjects, the genotype frequencies were G/G 69% (107/154), G/A 29% (44/154) and A/A 2% (3/154). Highly significant differences were observed in both genotype and allele frequencies of R1268Q between patients with AS and control subjects (p < 0.001, p < 0.002; chi-square test). In conclusion, the missense mutation R1268Q in the ABCC6 gene is not a specific marker of PXE, but is associated with the disease state of AS.

Background: A small bowel obstruction is classified as simple (nonstrangulated) or strangulated. The early recognition with correct diagnosis of small bowel obstruction is a critical issue as the release from strangulation requires surgical emergency. Methods: To evaluate the physiological effect on small bowel obstruction, a metallic ring was put in the small intestine (simple ileus) and a loop obstruction was made with keeping the blood flow (strangulated obstruction). Serum level of cytokines, IL-6, TNF-alfa, and IL-1beta as well as endotoxin and seromuscular enzymes, CPK and LDH, were serially analyzed. Serum and mucosal DAO activity were also assessed. Results: Endotoxin was increased at 18 h through 48 h in strangulated obstruction, but not detected in the simple ileus. Early proinflammatory cytokines were significantly elevated in strangulated obstruction. High expression of IL-6 prolonged after 12 h. Transiently expressed IL-1beta peaked at 12 h, TNF-alfa? was increased at 18 h. In simple ileus, these expressions of cytokines were low and slow. LDH and CPK were significantly elevated at 48h, but there were no difference between simple ileus and strangulated obstruction. Serum DAO activity was significantly increased in simple ileus, but gradually decreased in strangulated obstruction, while mucosal DAO activity was decreased in both groups. Conclusions: High level of serum IL-6 is an early marker for strangulated obstruction. The pattern of serum DAO activity, decrease in strangulated obstruction and increase in simple ileus, might be useful molecular parameter in the early and proper diagnosis of small bowel obstruction.

To investigate Metacarpal Index (MCI) and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) estimated by Digital X-ray Radiogrammetry (DXR) with respect to its ability to quantify severity-dependent variations of bone mineralisation in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis compared to Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), 122 patients underwent a prospective analysis of BMD and MCI by DXR, whereas both DXR-parameters were estimated from plain radiographs of the non-dominant hand. In comparison DXA measured BMD on total femur and lumbar spine (L2-L4). Additionally Steinbrocker Stage was assessed to differentiate the severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Disease activity of RA was estimated by C-reactive Protein (CRP; in mg/l), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR in mm/1st hour) and by the disease activity score with 28-joint count (DAS 28). In consequence, The DXR-parameters, in particular DXR-MCI, revealed significant associations to age, Body Mass Index, CRP, DAS 28 and Steinbrocker graduation; no significant associations could be verified between DXA-parameters and all characteristics of disease activity and severity of RA. The highest correlation was found between DXR-MCI and DXR-BMD with R= 0.89 (independent from severity of RA). In all patients DXR-MCI significantly decreased (-14.3%) from 0.42 ± 0.09 (stage 1) to 0.36 ± 0.07 (stage 2) dependent on severity of RA. The comparable relative reduction of DXR-BMD was -11.1%. The group of patients with minor disease activity (DAS 28 > 5.1) showed a significant flattened reduction (-11.4%) for DXR-MCI from 0.44 ± 0.08 (stage 1) to 0.39 ± 0.08 (stage 2). For accentuated disease activity (DAS 28 > 5.1) the DXR-MCI revealed a pronounced reduction (-23.1 %). No significant declines were observed for DXA-BMD of the lumbar spine and total femur in all patients as well as dependent on disease activity. Conclusion: DXR can exactly quantify cortical thinning of the metacarpal bones and can identify cortical demineralisation in patients suffering from early rheumatoid arthritis surpassing DXA-measurements at axial bone sites. In this context DXR-MCI seems to be the most sensitive parameter for differentiation of patients with minor or accentuated disease activity following severity-dependent cortical bone loss.

Bromocresol purple (BCP), bromophenol blue (BPB) and bromothymol blue (BTB) were used to determine alfuzosin hydrochloride either in pure form or in pharmaceutical formulations. Alfuzosin was extracted as an ion-pair complex from sample solution containing KCl-HCl buffer pH2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 into CHCl3 and the absorbance was measured at 407, 413 and 412nm with use of the cited reagents, respectively. The analytical parameters and their effects on the reported systems are investigated. The reactions were extremely rapid at room temperature and the absorbance values remains unchanged up to 24 h. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration ranges 1.20-38.3, 0.85-46.0 and 0.63-34.0 μg/ml and detection limits were 0.28, 0.24 and 0.18 μg/ml with BCP, BPB and BTB, respectively. Recoveries were 98.80-101.33%. Interferences of the other ingredients and excipients were not observed. The proposed method is simple, fast and sensitive, and the first reported extractive method for the determination of alfuzosin in commercial tablets.

A detailed eye examination of 145 inmates of a leprosy rehabilitation centre was done to determine the prevalence of ocular involvement. Age, gender of patients, type and duration of leprosy, systemic disabilities were noted. The mean age of patients was 45.8 years (range 19-70 years); 72.4% were males; 55.2% were suffering from paucibacillary leprosy. The mean duration of leprosy was 18.2 years in multibacillary type and 13.1 years in paucibacillary type. Ocular lesions related to leprosy were seen in 85.5% of patients; more often in multibacillary leprosy (92.3%). Corneal changes (80.7%) were the most frequently observed lesions followed by eye lid lesions (48.2%). Potentially sight threatening lesions such as lagophthalmos (23.4%), cornealanaesthesia (43.4%), and iridocyclitis (8.9%) were seen in both types of leprosy. Nine out of 26 (34.6%) patients with history of erythema nodosum leprosum reaction showed eye changes related to this reaction. Blindness in one eye due to lesions related to leprosy was seen in 2.7% of eyes. Age related cataract was the most common cause of blindness in patients of leprosy. The prevalence of ocular lesions was found to be high in the inmates of leprosy rehabilitation centre, and they were seen more frequently in patients with longer duration of the disease. Potentially sight threatening lesions were more often associated with systemic disabilities in these patients.

The efficacy of antioxidant supplementation in the prevention of cardiovascular disease appears equivocal, however the use of more potent antioxidant combinations than those traditionally used may exert a more positive effect. We have shown previously that supplementation of vitamin E and α-lipoic acid increases cardiac performance during post-ischemia reperfusion in older rats and increases Bcl-2 levels in endothelial cells. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vitamin E and α-lipoic acid supplementation on myocardial gene expression with a view to determine their mechanism of action. Young male rats received either a control (n=7) or vitamin E and α-lipoic acid supplemented diet (n=8) for 14 weeks. RNA from myocardial tissue was then amplified and samples were pooled within groups and competitively hybridized to 5K oligonucleotide rat microarrays. The relative expression of each gene was then compared to the control sample. Animals that received the antioxidant-supplemented diet exhibited upregulation (>1.5×) of 13 genes in the myocardium with 2 genes downregulated. Upregulated genes include those involved in cell growth and maintenance (LynB, Csf1r, Akt2, Tp53), cell signaling (LynB, Csf1r) and signal transduction (Pacsin2, Csf1r). Downregulated genes encode thyroid (Thrsp) and F-actin binding proteins (Nexilin).

This is the second, conclusive part of the clinical study on responses of early-postmenopausal women to standardized doses of pre-Gelatinized Organic Maca (Maca-GO). Total of 34 Caucasian women volunteers participated in a double-blind, randomized, four months outpatient crossover configuration Trial. After fulfilling the criteria of being early-postmenopausal: blood Estrogen (E2<40pg/ml) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH>30IU/ml) at admission, they were randomly allocated to Placebo (P) and Maca-GO (M) treatments (2 groups of 11 participants each). Two 500mg vegetable hard gel capsules with Maca-GO or Placebo powder were self-administered twice daily with meals (total 2g/day). At admission and follow-up monthly intervals, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, levels of gonadal, pituitary, thyroid and adrenal hormones, lipids and key minerals were measured. Bone markers were determined after four months M and P use in 12 participants. Menopausal symptoms were assessed according to Greene’s Score (GMS) and Kupperman’s Index (KMI). Data were analyzed using multivariate technique on blocs of monthly . of Maca-GO stimulated (P<0.05) production of E2, suppressed (P<0.05) blood FSH, Thyroid (T3) and Adrenocorticotropic hormones, Cortisol, and BMI, increased (P<0.05) low density lipoproteins, blood Iron and alleviated (P<0.001) menopausal symptoms. Maca-GO noticeably increased bone density markers. In conclusion, Maca-GO applied to early-postmenopausal women (i) acted as a toner of hormonal processes along the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovarian axis, (ii) balanced hormone levels and (iii) relieved symptoms of menopausal discomfort, (hot flushes and night sweating in particular), thus, (iv) exhibited a distinctive function peculiar to adaptogens, providing an alternative non-hormonal plant option to reduce dependence on hormone therapy programs (HRT).
