Modelling beam vibration under non-uniform transverse load
Authors: Al-najjar Iyad F. , Jálics Károly , Kollár László E.
Published: June 2023

This paper investigates the vibration of wind turbine blades under transverse load, with the aim of understanding various phenomena that lead to blade vibration such as uneven load due to non-uniform wind; ice on the blade; or sliding of the ice on the blade surface. The subject of this research is a simple model for a wind turbine blade with constant cross section. The model is based on a cantilever beam with a transverse distributed force that changes in time along the blade length. Two models were developed and compared using different approaches. Modal model analysis is employed as an experimental method and a numerical model was also constructed based on the finite element method (FEM). The results show similarity between the behavior of the FEM model and the experimental observations. The results of this study provide insights into the vibration of wind turbine blades and contribute to the development of accurate and reliable models.

Published: June 2023

The article presents the results of serological control of the effectiveness of vaccination of broilers against infectious bursal disease (IBD) when the immune-complex vaccine Pulvak MagniPlex is used in the incubator.

Immune-complex vaccines are vaccines of a new generation, the use of which completely eliminates post-vaccination complications in birds and interference phenomena. The vaccine includes a mixture of specific antibodies and the vaccine strain of the IBH virus. The main property of these vaccines is that when administered subcutaneously in day-old chicks or 18-day-old chicken embryos by the in ovo method, immunity is quickly created even in the presence of high maternal antibodies (MAB). Vaccination in the incubator using immune-complex vaccines is more accurate and provides protection to the whole bird, unlike live vaccines, the main method of which is administration with drinking water. Immuno-complex vaccines are effective even in the presence of high MAT in chickens. Due to this, they provide a much higher level of protection due to the high homogeneity of protective antibodies compared to live attenuated vaccines.

We present the data of serological monitoring on the average titer of antibodies to the IBH virus in blood sera from 15 batches of broilers aged 45-50 days, which were immunized on the first day in the incubator with the immune-complex vaccine Pulvak MagniPlex. It was established that during a single vaccination in the incubator (15 batches), the Pulvak MagniPlex vaccine stimulates the formation of an active immune response to the IBH virus for the entire period of fattening of broilers. The average titers in the blood sera of broilers aged 45-50 days to the IBH virus ranged from 6,995 to 12,388 after a single vaccination in the incubator (15 batches). The percentage of protective antibodies to the IBH virus in 15 batches of broilers varied from 77.3 to 100, which indicates the intensity of immunity to IBH. A single application of the immune-complex vaccine Pulvak MagniPlex in the incubator stimulates the formation of an active immune response to the IBD virus for the entire period of broiler fattening and provides 100 % protection of 12 batches of broilers and 77.3 % of broilers of 3 batches to IBD. The use of Pulvak MagniPlex allows: to create stable immunity against IBD; to form immunity in each individual broiler, regardless of the level of maternal antibodies; to reduce the impact of stress (compared to mass vaccination in the poultry house by the drinking method. Constant control of the effectiveness of the Pulvak MagniPlex immune-complex vaccine by means of serological monitoring of blood sera in ELISA will allow, depending on the epizootic situation, to timely adjust the vaccination scheme of poultry against IBD.

Published: June 2023

In modern animal husbandry, progressive intensive technologies for keeping animals and the productive exploitation of animals are economically efficient, but they deplete the physiological reserves of the body and lead to undesirable pathophysiological changes of a complex nature. The immune-reactive potential of the integral and censoring systems of the macroorganism decreases, the metabolic activity of enzyme complexes at the level of cells and organs changes, antimicrobial resistance decreases, and the quantitative and qualitative composition of the normal flora of the covering tissues and hollow organs is disturbed. The stress of debilitating technological leads to systemic pathologies of infectious and non-infectious origin and deterioration of the health and well-being of the animals.

One of the physiological ways of correcting the systemic pathology based on damage to the native bioprotective mechanisms of the macroorganism is the use of resident prokaryotes of the microbiome artificially cultivated and given per os as a feed dietary supplement. In our research, we isolated probiotic cultures of A. viridans and M. vaccae from healthy broiler chickens, studied their biological properties, established their biosafety for other animals, and determined probiotic potencies when used monovalently and in association. It was shown that the combined use of probiotic prokaryotes significantly improves the stimulation of the immune-reactive potential of the macroorganism and, in association, increases the colonization capabilities of indigenous prokaryotes. Isolated probiotic cultures of the resident microbiota are suitable for the production of probiotics and symbiotics for farm and domestic animals and for prophylactic and therapeutic use both in monoculture and in association. Simultaneous use of probiotic associations is more effective than monocultures.

Published: June 2023

This manuscript presents a developed method for determining cefquinome sulfate in piglets blood plasma intended for clinical and pharmaceutical research of veterinary drugs based on it. Blood plasma proteins were precipitated twice with a solution of trichloroacetic acid. The supernatant was further purified by a series of solid-phase extraction. Separation was performed on an inverted phase Kinetex EVO С18 column using acetonitrile and 0,1 % trifluoroacetic acide solusion as the mobile phase. The gradient mode of eluents was used during 10 min at a flow rate of 1,4 ml/min. The peak retention time of cefquinome sulfate is 4,2 min. The specificity of the analytical method was checked by comparing the chromatographic separation of a sample of blood plasma enriched with a standard solution of cefquinome sulfate and a sample of blood plasma placebo. The preparing loaded blood plasma samples procedure for building a calibration graph is described in the article. The validation parameters of the method “recovery” and “coefficient of variation” were considered in accordance with the criteria of Council Directive 2002/657/EC. The procedure of sample preparation of fortified blood plasma to construct calibration graph is described in the manuscript. The mean recovery from fortified blood plasma samples in the range of 0.1-2.0 μg/ml cefquinom sulfate was 102.3 %. The method is linear in the concentration range of 0.1 – 4.0 μg/ml of cefquinome sulfate. The correlation coefficient for the determination method is 0.9998. The results obtained in the study of the linearity of this technique were used to estimate the correctness and convergence. The accuracy of the measurements was evaluated by examining the known amounts of analyte added to the control blood plasma. Recovery data are acceptable because they are within ± 10% of the target value. The method has sufficient convergence (accuracy). The evaluation of the intermediate precision of cefquinome sulfate determination was assessed on three different days of analysis. The limit of detection for cefquinom sulfate is 0.05 μg/ml and limit of quantification - 0.10 μg/ml. The average CV for each compound was <10%. The procedure was confirmed and then applied to determination cefquinome sulfate in the pig blood plasma obtained during the study of the pharmacokinetics of the veterinary drug. The HPLC/DMD method can be used for study of the pharmacokinetics of the veterinary drug.

In order to reduce the use of antibiotics for the treatment of skin diseases in dogs and cats it is relevant to introduce alternative drugs that have antimicrobial properties into veterinary practice. Applikus-vet is a new domestic combined veterinary agent for external use, which has adsorption and bactericidal action. The preparation is designed on the basis of hydrogel of methylcremic acid with immobilized Cuprum ions and is intended for the treatment of wounds and ulcerative lesions of the skin. Hydrogel of methylcremic acid has an adsorption capacity, Cuprum ions have an antimicrobial effect and cause the denaturation of microorganism’s proteins.

The article outlines the clinical study of a new veterinary drug Applikus-vet, paste for external use, production of PJSC "EOF" Creom-Farm "(Ukraine), in the treatment of cats with clinical signs of aseptic skin necrosis (brittle skin syndrome).

The drug was used in the complex treatment of two cats of long-haired breeds – female, aged 7 years, and male, 14 years of age, with clinical signs of aseptic skin necrosis in the area of the thoracic, the lumbar departments of the back and abdominal wall. The female had a much larger area of the affected skin than the male. Diagnosis was put on the basis of anamnesis, a clinical picture of the disease. The veterinarian of the clinic prescribed complex therapy, which included the drug Applikus-vet for application to the wounds of animals. The general course of treatment with the test drug lasted 4–8 weeks.

The drug Applikus-vet showed good therapeutic efficiency in the complex treatment of cats with clinical signs of aseptic skin necrosis. Depending on the complexity of the disease, epithelialization and reduction of the inflammatory process in the affected area of animal’s skin were observed on 21–35 days of treatment. A significant decrease in the area of the affected skin and the formation of scars and scab was noted on 28–50 days of treatment. In this case, the drug was well tolerated by animals, didn’t show unexpected negative local and general effects.

According to the results of laboratory tests, the positive effect of the drug Applikus-vet was found in the complex therapy of aseptic skin necrosis on the morpho-functional condition of the cat’s organism, which is confirmed by the normalization of most morphological and biochemical indicators of blood to the values of clinically healthy animals.

Evaluation and Mapping of Sustainable Water and Wastewater Treatment with Membrane Processes in South Africa and Sweden
Authors: Richards Heidi , Lipnizki Frank
Published: June 2023

Membrane technology is crucial to achieving Sustainable Development Goal No. 6 of clean water and sanitation for all. Despite its numerous benefits, high capital and operating costs pose major challenges. Recent research has focused on sustainable materials as membranes and more effective cleaning regimes to reduce costs and improve membrane lifespan. While South Africa and Sweden have both begun using membrane technology for water and wastewater treatment, it remains relatively rare. Collaborations throughSASUF aim to evaluate and share best practices. Although MBRs have produced high-quality effluent in South Africa, cost, maintenance, and membrane replacement, as well as river pollution, remain major considerations. In contrast, Sweden has seen large-scale membrane installations in drinking water and wastewater treatment plants. Establishing working membrane references iscrucial to the success of membrane technology, which is well-established globally but often requires local adaptations. Collaborations between the two countries are essential to support this approach by sharing knowledge and learning from each other.
South Africa-Nordic Relations
Authors: Hattar Nora , Bækkevold Kine M.
Published: June 2023

Since the democratisation of South Africa in the mid-90s, South Africa and the Nordic countries have cooperated multilaterally as well as in bilateral settings in areas such as education and research, business and trade, and peace and security. By exploring the research question ‘What are the prospects for a strategic partnership between South Africa and the Nordic region?’, this article provides insights into the nature of South Africa-Nordic contemporary relations and advances our theoretical understanding of what factors influence the formation of strategic partnerships. The analysis is informed by Thomas Wilkins’ strategic partnership model, which sets forth that the formation of strategic partnerships hinges on three core factors: environmental uncertainty, strategic fit, and a system principle. It is argued herein that a fourth factor, international and domestic political context, also plays a role in the formation phase of a strategic partnership; an argument which is supported empirically by the South Africa-Nordic case. Data for the analysis is mainly collected from South African and Nordic government documents, while occasionally also drawing upon party documents, academic publications, and news articles. The paper concludes that the plurality of common national interests and shared values make fertile ground for a comprehensive and mutually beneficial strategic partnership between South Africa and the Nordics. Nevertheless, current political contextual factors diminish the likelihood that such a strategic partnership will emerge in the immediate future.
Gendered Institutions and Women's Political Representation in Africa
Authors: Motsage Lesego
Published: June 2023

Gendered institutions in this book are described as social structures, norms, and practices that maintain gender inequalities and stereotypes, often to the advantage of men. Many political systems in Africa are patriarchal, with traditional leadership structuresdominated by men. The book highlights the formal and informal political institutions that make it difficult for African women to gain access to political power or to have their voices heard within the African political establishment. Additionally, many of the rules and customs of African political institutions are biased against women and sometimes require candidates to have a certain level of education or financial autonomy that may be more difficult for women to attain. These gendered institutions have contributed to the under-representation of African women in politics. While there has been progress in recent years, women remain significantly underrepresented in African decision-making bodies such as African National Parliaments. This book has eight chapters, with each chapter representing a unique case study of a country in Africa. The eight African countries that the book focuses on are South Africa,Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Botswana.
FUNCTIONAL POTENTIAL OF FILM REVIEW AS EPITEXT: LINGUOPRAGMATIC, AXIOLOGICAL, LINGUOCULTURAL ASPECTS
Authors: Borbotko L.A.
Published: June 2023

Problem Statement. The article regards specific features of film reviews being a relevant subject of research. Seen as an epitext a review serves as a cinema text constituent. The latter includes the film itself, trailers, posters, advertisements, critical comments. Such an approach proves of principal importance and novelty. Results. Epitext is considered as a paratext constituent together with peritext and aims at commenting the main text meaning the film. It is the epitext that contributes to the cinema text designed functioning as a holistic system. Linguocultural potential of review is reflected in the latter belonging to certain culture, which determines the information presented in the form of cultural codes for the audience as representatives of the same cultural group to decode. The code that proves impossible to decode or triggers misunderstandings adds to inability to reach the pragmatic aim of a review which is not only to inform the reader about the film release but also to impact them, forming their opinion about the film. It is how the advertising and promotional functions are realized – the author tends to «lure» the audience, persuading to watch the film or, on the contrary, not to waste time on it. Conclusion. The functions enlisted to be realized along with an attempt to prove the information presented is relevant call for the reviewer to be clear and scrupulous in selecting self-identification options. The author’s identity takes the form of evaluative structures. The latter reflecting and relying on the author’s cultural background contribute to the pragmatic potential of the review structuring the cultural context taking into account the audience’s cultural background. Moreover, the review designs and demonstrates the author’s view of the film plot in concordance with the value system communicated by the reviewer as an individual as well as social addresser. The latter function is also realized due to evaluation markers.
WOMEN'S UNOFFICIAL NAMES IN VYSOKY VILLAGE AND THEIR REFLECTION IN THE DIALECT PICTURE OF THE WORLD
Authors: Nedostupova L.V.
Published: June 2023

Statement of the problem. The study examines the anthroponyms that represent women in appearance, inferiority, speech and voice, character traits, temperament, culinary preferences, occupation, position, attitude to work, and their reflection in the dialectal picture of the world of the inhabitants of the small village of Vysoky Talovsky district of the Voronezh region In the process of work, the peculiar features and characteristics of the image of the fairer sex were determined, which are approved and disapproved in the village society. The appeal to the living folk speech, functioning in the mouths of the indigenous villagers, with the aim of studying with the subsequent preservation of linguistic materials, is relevant, since it contains modern information about a whole generation of people and their relationships in the team. Results. During the survey, 43 unofficial names were described, represented by 7 thematic groups. The most productive group has been identified - anthroponyms, data on a person's appearance, and the smallest - street naming for inferiority. It was revealed that 5 people have 2 nicknames, 1 woman is considered the owner of 4 nicknames, which she received for features of appearance and behavior. The names-metaphors, marking their carriers, have been established. They are represented by a multitude of emerging associations: with a dragonfly, a planet of the solar system, an installation for processing meat or fish, an ironing object, a river, a weapon, a bird, a poisonous plant, a supervisory institution, a rock band, etc. Functioning anthroponyms are expressed by nouns and adjectives, formed in two ways: suffix and base addition. With the help of the considered lexical units, an ideal female image with its inherent features is presented. The qualities of its antipode are demonstrated. Conclusion. The carried out research has determined the use in the folk language of the peculiar street names of women, which are part of the dialectal picture of the world of Vysochan. It is subject to certain conventional norms and rules, known only to local residents, developed by themselves for convenience in interpersonal communication. The reflection of the picture of the world through nicknames testifies to the rich vocabulary, imagination and fantasy of dialect carriers. It also reveals the state of the local dialect in our time - living, actively developing, original. The world of each and every one individually, naturalness and simplicity - such is the content of the picture of the world of a village man. The presented research supplements the few available works of Voronezh linguists-dialectologists and onomasts and contributes to the study of local anthroponymy.

Published: June 2023

Problem statement. The problem of using foreign words is still relevant for the last decades due to a wide-spread “invasion” of Anglicisms and Americanisms. The article presents the analysis of foreign words that are widely used in modern press but not considered as a part of the Russian language system. Lexical items recoded into Russian from a foreign language are determined as a specific object of study. Results. More than 5000 examples of using the word «art» in modern Russian newspapers have been revealed during the research. A complex quantitative and qualitative analysis in regards to graphics, semantics, syntactics and stylistics has been provided. Some features of recoded words assimilation at graphic, morphologic, syntactiс and semantic levels are presented. Some peculiarities of graphic representation of foreign words depending on the language source are noticed. It has been found that recoded words receive some characteristics not given in their language source even before they enter a system of the recipient language. Conclusion. The author comes to the conclusion that formal recoding of the significant is only an initial stage of foreign words assimilation. The recoded lexical items go through the process of language acquisition not only at graphic but also morphologic and syntactic levels as well as they undergo some semantic changes. Thus the words in focus represent potential reserves that can become parts of modern Russian language.
TRANSLATION OF REALIA ON THE MATERIAL OF THE RUSSIAN FOLK TALE «KOSCHEY THE IMMORTAL»
Authors: Fedorov V.A. , Baeva E.I.
Published: June 2023

Statement of the problem. The article discusses the interaction of linguistics and cultural studies in translation. The concepts of lacunarity, ethnolinguocultural asymmetry, sociocultural adaptation, significative connotation are revealed. Results. The article describes the difficulties that arise when translating works that are distinguished by a bright national coloring. Particular attention is paid to the problems associated with the difficulties of translation, in particular the translation of non-equivalent vocabulary. Various interpretations of the concept of reality are given. It is explained why it is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of "realia" and "non-equivalent vocabulary". With the help of the theory of renomination, the difficulties associated with the translation of realia from one language to another are analyzed and a comparative analysis of various translation options for realia taken from the Russian folk tale "Koschey the Immortal" of A. S. Afanasyev and its translations into Italian by Rosella Morini (2011) and Sophia de Figner (1903). Conclusion. It is concluded that the translation of folklore is always difficult, since its quality depends very much on how rich the translator's stock of thematic and folk-poetic vocabulary of both languages ​​is. The analysis showed that the language in the translations is modern, neutral vocabulary prevails in it, in contrast to the Russian fairy tale, where there is a lot of stylistically colored colorful vocabulary. To convey the cultural features of the Russian language, transcriptions, transliterations, partial tracing with explanatory notes are used.

Authors: Dukhovnaya T.V.
Published: June 2023

Statement of the problem. This paper aims to identify the features of use and functioning of famous film quotes from Hollywood movies in the context of everyday communication, Internet communication, media discourse, TV discourse, blogs. Results. The study shows possible meanings that film quotes acquire in various contexts, identifies their functions based on their contextual semantics, and describes transformations that film quotes undergo. The main methods of research are corpus analysis, contextual analysis used along with the method of interpretation, and quantitative methods. The analysis of the contextual surrounding of quotes is carried out on the material of texts presented in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). Conclusion. The results of the study showed that film quotes are capable of full integration into the subject of a new text, staying connected to the original context. Film quotes establish new connections in situational contexts, have semantic variability, influence the target audience of a text, create an emotional effect. Film quotes also can be transformed by means of extension, reduction or partial replacement, while remaining recognizable. Quantitative methods of analysis allowed to calculate frequency of use of the film quotes in texts of various genres. The corpus-assisted approach provided, along with the available quick results conveniently represented, extensive, reliable, and diverse material for analysis.
PHRASEOLOGY IN THE FRENCH LITERARY TEXT: FUNCTIONAL AND SEMANTIC ANALYSIS (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF ANNA GAVALDA'S NOVELS “35 KILOS D'ESPOIR” AND “JE L'AIMAIS”)

Statement of the problem. The article is devoted to the important but insufficiently studied problem of Romance linguistics, particularly French, related to the analysis of the phraseology of the French literary text from the point of view of semantics and functioning. The study of the semantic paradigm and the functional features of phraseological units used in a literary text make it possible to better reveal the author's picture of the world, as well as the emotional sphere of characters, which often determines their actions. In addition, the occasional use of phraseological units can increase their expressiveness, create a stylistic effect that causes the appearance of additional semantic meanings, which requires a separate study. Results. In the article, the most representative semantic groups of usual phraseological units in the French literary text are revealed, the most common types of occasional use of phraseological units are determined, the reasons and results of their occasional use are established. Conclusion. The results of the semantic analysis of phraseological units in the French literary text on the example of the studied novels by Anna Gavalda testify to the anthropocentric nature of the author's picture of the world, the multiplicity and semantic diversity of phraseological units in them, the prevalence of their occasional use, as well as their role in revealing the author's picture of the world, the emotional sphere, the internal and external qualities of the characters, and creating a stylistic effect.
Big Data Analytics Using Machine Learning Techniques for Prediction on Datasets
Authors: Verma Ankit
Published: June 2023

Data analytics is the process of performing scientific and statistical analysis on raw data in order to transform it into information that can be used for gaining knowledge. A recently emerging trend in feature abstraction is the combination of computational techniques and big data analysis. This requires gaining knowledge from trustworthy data sources, being able to digest information quickly, and making accurate predictions about the future. The primary objective of this study is to locate the machine learning strategies that produce the most accurate prediction by utilising the model that has been proposed. The supervised and unsupervised strategies have been implemented in a variety of different ways using the MapReduce methodology; however, the suggested model makes use of the Apache Spark framework in order to compare the many existing methods. In this study, the emphasis is placed on elucidating the characteristics of datasets in order to conduct the most accurate analysis possible using machine learning techniques. For the purpose of conducting an analysis of the data sets, machine learning methods such as linear regression, decision trees, random forests, and gradient boosting tree algorithms are utilised. In light of the findings of this research, it is possible to draw the conclusion that when the Spark framework is applied on top of Machine Learning methods, the efficiency of the model is improved by a factor of seventy percent in comparison to the MapReduce paradigm.

Feature Selection using Random Forest Classifier for Foot Strike Event Detection in Toe Walkers
Authors: Desai Meghna , Kapadia Dr. Viral
Published: June 2023

Automated Gait event identification of Foot Strike (FS) and Foot Off (FO) in pathological gait data, can be time saving in comparison to conventional manual annotations done currently. Identification of FS and FO allows breaking walking trials into gait cycles and hence aids in comparison of gait parameters like joint angles, forces and moments across gait cycles. Automated Gait Event Detection is also useful in development of wearable sensor devices and robotic systems that assist gait. Researchers have proposed several automatic gait event detection algorithms based on kinematic parameters and systematic study of the literature suggests specific parameters to have higher contribution in identification of FS event in all common pathological gait patterns. We used Random Forest Classifier Feature selection technique to identify high contributing features in FS event in toe walking pediatric pathological gait dataset and the results suggest high similarity in selected features by the machine learning technique with those suggested by popular event detection algorithms based on kinematic parameters for pathological gait. Hence we conclude that RFC feature selection is suitable for feature selection in toe walkers gait dataset for event detection purpose.
