Disease X: Exploring the Unexplored, Knowable Unknown
Authors:   Research Scholar, Postgraduate Department of Zoology, Asutosh College (University of Calcutta), Kolkata, West Bengal, India, Sinha Shakya
Published: February 2022

The glaring uncertainty regarding the identity of certain pathogenic bio-agents having potential for a severe global public health security threat has spurned the international health agencies to classify it as Disease X, which has been added to the “blueprint priority diseases” as a placeholder name for a “knowable unknown” pathogen by the WHO. The zoonotic diseases of viral origin and the synthetic viruses are acknowledged as the most likely agents of Disease X causing public health emergencies of international concern in times to come. The challenges in the rapid containment of Disease X pandemics could be the inability for early detection of the infectious agents, presence of a large immunologically naïve population, lack of knowledge of clinical spectrum, no pathogen-specific effective drugs and/ or vaccines and sudden surge of patients requiring hospitalisation which collectively compromise the public health system especially in resource stricken countries and leads to its eventual collapse. Well-equipped field laboratories, sentinel surveillance centres for viruses and other microbial pathogens are needed in strategically important and sensitive areas of concern for monitoring for early detection of possible bio-agents of Disease X, if any. In a changing geo-socio political scenario, use of the synthetic viruses as a potential bio-weapon for mass destruction and/ or for the economic breakdown of a targeted country should not be ruled out. Thus, capacity building, global technical collaboration and stringent international regulations to prevent the development of bio-weapons are also obligatory to prevent any possible future pandemics of Disease X.
Overview of Epidemiology of Malaria Associated with Pregnancy in Northwestern Colombia, 1985-2020
Authors:   Professor, School of Microbiology, Universidad de Antioquia. Medellín, Colombia, Cardona-Arias Jaiberth Antonio
Published: February 2022

Background: Knowledge about malaria associated with pregnancy (MAP) is scarce in Latin America and Colombia. Methodology: This paper presents an overview of studies captained in Pubmed, Lilacs, GoogleScholar and thesis repositories from six Colombian universities and bibliographic references of manuscripts. Results: The following topics have been described: study sites, infectious agents, genetic variation of Plasmodium in MAP, vector resistance to insecticides, incubation period, natural susceptibility and resistance to infection, immunity in MAP, frequency, coexistence of gestational (GM) and placental (PM) malaria, associated factors, efficacy of antimalarial treatment, material living conditions in MAP. The MAP has a high prevalence, with a high frequency of submicroscopic infections. There are cases of MAP due to P. falciparum, P. vivax, or both. Monotherapy with chloroquine or amodiaquine for MAP for P. vivax has efficacy greater than 95% and artemether-lumefantrine or artesunate-mefloquine 100% for P. falciparum. There are high rates of anemia in pregnancies (30-70%). In “The Region,” there is no problem of resistance of vectors to insecticides. MAP occurs in poor territories, with interaction of food insecurity, chronic malnutrition, dissatisfaction of basic needs, intestinal parasites, violence and abuse of human rights. Conclusions: MAP study is just beginning in Colombia; there are no programmes that effectively operate to detect and solve this problem; Government agencies, international health organizations, and private companies should finance the multidisciplinary and comprehensive research (natural and social) of the MAP, in order to know its main characteristics throughout the country and use that knowledge as a basis to seek solutions.
Human-Plasmodium Like in Domestic-goat Blood in Malaria Endemic Areas in Purworejo Indonesia
Authors:   Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Diponegoro Semarang, Indonesia, Sumanto Didik
Published: February 2022

Background: Etawa crossbreed goats are cultivated livestock by Jatirejo Kaligesing Purworejo villagers. This village is the area with the highest malaria incidence in the Province of Central Java in 2017. The Annual Parasitic Incidence (API) is 0.32%. Verified malaria vectors are Anopheles aconitus and Anopheles maculatus. Studies show that vectors prefer goat blood over humans. The research aims to trace the presence of human-plasmodium in Etawa-goat blood. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the presence of h-Plasmodium in domestic goats’ blood in pre-elimination malaria areas. 97 Etawa-goats’ samples were taken by purposive sampling. Microscopic detection of human-plasmodium in Etawa-goat’s blood was carried out on thick blood preparations by Giemsa staining. Results: Human-plasmodium like was detected on four slides, with the findings of three slides resembling P. vivax trophozoites and one slide resembling P. falciparum trophozoites. Conclusion: The presence of parasites similar to P. vivax and P. falciparumin goats’ blood is important initial information to continue studies on the transmission of h-Plasmodium in domestic livestock. Replication studies in high case incidence areas are needed to complete the microscopic visualisation and are supported by molecular testing.

Authors:   Assistant Professor and CMO, Department of Community Medicine, CMC Ludhiana, Punjab, India, Lal Dhruvendra
Published: February 2022

Introduction: National Programme for Family Planning started in India for the first time in 1952 and India was the first country in the world to have come up with any such programme. But still, the problem persists in some parts of India, especially the rural parts. India poses a great challenge with over half of its population in the reproductive age group with many who reside in rural parts (68.84 % of India’s population is residing in villages). Method: This is a population-based, cross-sectional study undertaken in the rural area of Ludhiana, Punjab where all eligible couples were included in this study after taking their verbal consent. Results: Contraceptive use significantly differed among couples who only had female child/ children and those who at least had one male child. The study found that tubectomy is the main method of contraception. It was found that the age of females at the time of marriage was significantly lower in Scheduled Caste (SC) and Backward Class (BC) families as compared to Non-scheduled Caste (NSC) ones. Conclusion: The study found that the age of females, parity, and number of female children determined the family planning practices.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: Nurses encounter numerous hazards on the job ranging from needle stick injuries, allergies, and stress to violence. Though measures can be taken to prevent such hazards still they encounter such events in the hospitals. The main objectives of the study are to assess the knowledge of student nurses on hospital-related occupational hazards and to seek the association between the knowledge of student nurses regarding hospital-related occupational hazards with demographic variables. Method: The research approach used is quantitative approach and the design is descriptive survey design. The sample included 85 student nurses selected through the total enumeration method. Data were collected through an online structured knowledge questionnaire. Results: The findings of the study revealed that majority of the students i.e. 59% had moderate knowledge, 26% had poor knowledge, and only 15% had good knowledge regarding hospital-related occupational hazards. There was a significant association of the knowledge related to occupational hazard with age and course of study of the students. Conclusion: The study concluded that there is a need to improve the knowledge on hospital-related occupational hazards among student nurses and hence an e-booklet was developed and disseminated to improve their knowledge on such hazards.

A homological characterization of Q0-Prüfer v-multiplication rings
Authors: ZHANG Xiaolei
Published: February 2022

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. An $R$-module $M$ is called a semi-regular $w$-flat module if $\Tor_1^R(R/I,M)$ is $\GV$-torsion for any finitely generated semi-regular ideal $I$. In this article, we show that the class of semi-regular $w$-flat modules is a covering class. Moreover, we introduce the semi-regular $w$-flat dimensions of $R$-modules and the $sr$-$w$-weak global dimensions of the commutative ring $R$. Utilizing these notions, we give some homological characterizations of $\WQ$-rings and $Q_0$-\PvMR s.
Badminton players’ trajectory under numerical calculation method
Authors: Chi Jiaqing , Alahmadi Dimah
Published: February 2022

The trajectory tracking of badminton players’ arm shots can be used effectively to enhance the player’s shot quality. To track the image trajectory of the batting arm, it is necessary to calculate the body posture ratio and tightness of the target area of the batting arm, to filter the background interference of the image segment of the batting and to complete the efficient tracking of the trajectory of the arm batting image. The traditional method combines the adaptive threshold segmentation method to extract the hitting arm target from the background, but ignores filtering out the background interference of the hitting image fragment. This paper proposes a trajectory tracking method based on the morphological operator of the batter image of the arm stroke. The method consists of (1) differentially calculating the image sequence of the hitting arm during two consecutive shots, (2) estimating the Gaussian model parameters of the differential image of the hitting arm during the hitting process, (3) extracting the outline of the moving target of the hitting arm during the hitting process and then calculating the body posture ratio of the hitting target area and compactness, (4) filtering the background interference of the shot image fragment, (6) constructing a global matching approximation function of the moving target and (7) finally determining the motion trajectory of the badminton arm of the batter. Simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively track the target of the hitting arm during the hitting process and generate a continuous trajectory of the hitting arm.

From Classical Newtonian Phylosophy to Skyrmion – A Short History
Authors: Mazilu Nicolae , Rusu Cristina-Marcela
Published: February 2022

This paper presents a short history from Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Matematica of Newton to skyrmions of Skyrme. It is shown that the classical mechanics does not exclude skyrmions (as topologically stable field configuration of a certain class of non-linear sigma models- for example nucleon model). In certain conditions the Newtonian Theory becomes fundamental in building of modern physics theories (as quantum mechanics, fields theories, etc.).
On the Holographic Type Dynamics in Complexity Economics
Authors: Agop Ștefana , Ștefan Gavril , Petrescu Tudor-Cristian , Saviuc Alexandra , Rusu Cristina-Marcela
Published: February 2022

Assimilating any complex economic system with a fractal, in the most general Mandelbrot’s sense, non – differentiable behaviors in its economic dynamics are analyzed. As such, economic dynamics in the form of Schrödinger – type various regimes imply “holographic implementations” of the economic processes through group invariance of SL(2R) – type. Then, by means of previous group invariance as synchronization group between any economic system entities, both the phases and the amplitudes of the entities are affected from a homographic perspective. The usual “synchronization” manifested through the delay of the amplitudes and phases of the entities of the economic system must represent here only a fully particular case. In a special case of synchronization of economic system entities, given by Riccati type gauge, period doubling, damping oscillations, self – modulation and chaotic regimes emerge as natural behaviors in the economic dynamics of the economic processes.
Directing young dropouts via SMS: evidence from a field experiment
Authors: Hervelin Jérémy
Published: February 2022

Although short message services (SMS) are constantly used to transmit information, little is known about the use of SMS by public institutions to direct people. This paper presents a field experiment in France about the effectiveness of SMS in directing disadvantaged people toward public services. Two types of treatment SMS were provided: one type had its content written in a formal style; the second type SMS style was much informal. All the SMS were individualized and included specific information about the agencies. Results indicate that the SMS had no significant effect on enrollment. There is also no apparent heterogeneous effect according to individual, agency, or location characteristics. In line with other academic evidence, these findings suggest that SMS have very limited effectiveness in directing this population toward public services.

The present study aimed to evaluate the changes in concentrations of some biochemical parameters, as well as macro and microscopic alterations during Eimeria stiedae infection in rabbits. The experiment was performed using 12 three-month-old healthy rabbits, randomly allocated into 2 equal groups: G1 (controls, uninfected animals) and G2 (rabbits infected with E. stiedae). Blood samples were collected at time zero (prior to the infection), 6th, 24th, and 48th hours, and also 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th days after the infection. After sampling, the blood was centrifuged, plasma was separated and frozen at -20 ºC until analyzed. Thawed plasma was used for the quantitative determination of haptoglobin (Hp), total protein (TP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total cholesterol (TC), total bilirubin (TBIL), urea, and creatinine (CREA). The results in infected rabbits revealed a significant increase in Hp, AST, ALT, GGT, TBIL, and TC levels, as well as a significant decrease in ALP and urea. A weak hyperproteinemia was also observed. There were no changes in CREA concentration. At the end of the clinical investigation, all rabbits were humanely euthanized and necropsied. The post-mortem examination of the infected group revealed hepatomegaly, multifocal yellowish nodules diffusely spread over the liver surface and in the parenchyma, considerably dilated bile ducts, and biliary hyperplasia. Given the results obtained from this experiment, it can be affirmed that hepatic eimeriosis in rabbits is a severe parasitic disease leading to significant disturbances of liver histology and resulting changes in the biochemical profile of infected rabbits.
Failure and opportunities of public value capture and developer obligations in Polish urban development
Authors: Gielen Demetrio Muñoz , Ossowicz Tomasz , Zaborowski Tomasz Piotr
Published: February 2022

As many countries pursue private financing for urban public infrastructure, the tools for public value capture (PVC) gain prominence. This paper analyses Polish PVC tools in general, and spotlights a specific type: developer obligations (DOs). The authors conclude that the tools are ineffective for a series of reasons: negligence in the elaboration of pragmatic rationales (to mitigate the negative impacts of urban development), a lack of feasible (affordable) coercive land policy tools, and legislation (which puts Poland in sharp contrast to other countries) that prohibits municipalities from requiring DOs in exchange for approval of a land-use plan or planning permit, as well as the general ban on securing such obligations in a planning agreement (except for specific situations introduced by recent laws that have not yet been applied). As a consequence, new urban development in Poland neither includes sufficient urban public infrastructure, nor does it provide for social/affordable housing.

Authors: Aji Nabila Jemima , Fitriani Anna
Published: February 2022

Latar belakang: Obesitas terus mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya akibat perubahan gaya hidup sehingga mempengaruhi asupan makan dan aktivitas fisik pada setiap orang. Selain berisiko terkena penyakit degeneratif, penderita obesitas juga berisiko terkena penyakit pada tulang seperti, osteomalasia, osteopenia, dan riketsia. Penderita obesitas membutuhkan kekuatan tulang yang lebih kuat untuk menopang tubuhnya dibandingkan dengan orang yang memilki berat badan normal. Untuk membentuk tulang yang lebih kuat dibutuhkan asupan kalsium yang tinggi. Vitamin D sangat berperan untuk mengoptimalkan absorbsi kalsium dalam tubuh.  Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui pengaruh absorbsi kalsium oleh vitamin D pada obesitas. Hasil: Obesitas mempengaruhi biovailabilitas vitamin D dalam tubuh akibat tingginya jaringan adiposa dan rendahnya paparan terhadap sinar matahari. Rendahnya kadar vitamin D dalam tubuh akan menurunkan absorbsi kalsium. Simpulan: Kadar vitamin D pada penderita obesitas memang secara langsung mempengaruhi absorbsi kalsium dalam tubuh. Namun penelitian lebih lanjut dan mendalam diperlukan untuk membuktikan bahwa penderita obesitas memiliki faktor risiko langsung terhadap penyakit pada tulang seperti osteomalasia, riketsia, dan osteoporosis akibat rendahnya absorbsi kalsium dari pengaruh rendahnya kadar vitamin D dalam tubuh.

Из года в год на дорогах страны производят ремонтные работы. По многочисленным исследованиям плохое качество дорожного покрытия связано, как с качеством выполняемых работ, так и качеством асфальтобетонного покрытия. Уровень усталостного разрушения дорожных покрытий в основном определяется прочностными, деформационными и усталостными свойствами асфальтобетонного покрытия и зависят, прежде всего, от свойств вяжущих компонентов. Статья посвящена изучению причин снижения нормативного срока эксплуатации дорожных покрытий от температурных колебаний, а также эффективности применения серы, в качестве добавки к битуму, при строительстве дорожных покрытий.

From year to year on the roads of the country carry out repair work. According to numerous studies, the poor quality of the road surface is associated both with the quality of the work performed and the quality of the asphalt concrete pavement. The level of fatigue fracture of road surfaces is mainly determined by the strength, deformation and fatigue properties of asphalt concrete pavement and depends, fi rst of all, on the properties of cementitious components. The article is devoted to the study of the reasons for reducing the regulatory life of road surfaces from temperature fl uctuations, as well as the effectiveness of the use of sulfur, as an additive to bitumen, in the construction of road surfaces.

Amine-Catalyzed Copper-Mediated C–H Sulfonylation of Benzaldehydes via a Transient Imine Directing Group
Authors: Higham Joe , Bull James A
Published: February 2022

Transient directing groups can provide a powerful means for C–H functionalization to install medicinally valuable motifs without requiring additional steps for directing group introduction and removal. Here we report the first use of a transient directing group in combination with copper to effect C-H functionalization. The copper mediated β–C(sp2)–H sulfonylation of aldehydes with sulfinate salts is accomplished using β-alanine, in catalytic quantities, to form a transient imine. A broad range of sulfonylated benzaldehydes are prepared using copper fluoride as both copper source and oxidant, involving a [5,6] cupracyclic intermediate. The transient directing group provides exclusive regioselectivity in C–H functionalization, even in the presence of other strongly coordinating Lewis basic groups. In addition, gamma-(peri)-sulfonylation of napthyl and phenanthrene carboxaldehydes is achieved through [6,6] cupracyclic intermediates. Further derivatisation of the aldehyde products is demonstrated. Mechanistic studies, including deuteration and kinetic experiments, which identify orders in all reagents, provide insight to the catalytic behaviour of the amine. Kinetic isotope effect experiments and Hammett analysis suggest the turnover limiting step to be a concerted asynchronous C–H cleavage via a dearomative Wheland-type transition state.

Objective: Occurring frequently after the late second trimester intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a widespread liver disease in the period of pregnancy. The general incidence of IC depending on the geographic variations, is probably to vary from 1% to 27.6%. In the study, it was aimed to report the maternal and fetal outcomes of women with ICP at our university hospital center. Materials and Methods: The study was performed retrospectively on 44 pregnancies complicated by ICP between June 2018 and December 2020, at our Education and Research Hospital. Demographic characteristics, liver enzymes, a gestational week at diagnosis, type and time of delivery, APGAR scores at birth, and newborn weight and information about the patients included in the study were obtained from hospital records. Results: The number of primiparous women was 27 (61%). In 4 (9.1%) women had preeclampsia and 4 (9.1%) women had gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Only one of the neonates had Apgar at the birth 1/5, 0 and 0 respectively.Conclusion: In our study one perinatal death was observed, although no adverse maternal outcomes were observed. We recommend that ICP be managed individually. Close monitoring and active management are required in the prevention of complications.

The entire human activity is generating about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data per day. It is growing exponentially. The tremendous volume of data is getting generated by different banking services, including real-estate loan, deposit accounts services, credit card issuing service, commercial loan lending and many more. The bank data is used for business analytic that keeps eyes on past growth also Predictive analysis opens doors for future growth. For this project, during the predictive analysis, we used some historical data generated by an organization during loan processing. We intended to predict whether a new applicant will have granted a loan or not. The analysis was done by building Machine Learning (ML) models using different classification algorithms like Random Forest(RF), Logistic Regression(LR), Support Vector Machine(SVM), Decision Tree(DT), Gradient Boosting, XG Boost. The classifier models were trained and tested on hyper parameters as the performance of each model was analyzed using Confusion Matrix. We compared efficiencies using Recall, Precision, Accuracy and F1 score in a tabular form among all models. LR yields an F1 score of 0.90 and 0.62 for class 1 (approved) and class 0 (not Approved), respectively. Also, XG Boost gave F1 score of 0.89 and 0.64 for the same class 1 and 0.

AUTOSAR XML (.arxml) is a format introduced by the Automotive Open System Architecture consortium to contain the data used in and required by Electric Control Units which is based on Automotive Open System Architecture. Electric Control Unit development is done by 3 groups i.e. OEM like BMW, Tier1like Bosch, and Tier2 like a vector. Each one has its own data that is required for Software development. OEM shares the information with Tier1.Tier1 shares the same with Tier2 for implementing into Electric Control Unit. The DataBase Container (DBC) describes the properties of the Controller Area Network (CAN) / Controllable Area Network Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD). Data analysis in ECU Extract ARXML is very difficult due to the complex structure of data. Performing two-way and three-way comparisons/merges of XML files is difficult. To handle the mentioned challenges manually is a big task that requires huge manual efforts and time which may even result in a manual error. In this paper, we are presenting a newly developed Python-based tool that overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.

Fossil fuels are a non-renewable resource that is exhaustible in near future. An alternative for such automobiles is using electricity which can be generated by renewable resources to power up the vehicle. This paper gives an idea about charging these Electric-Vehicles (e-Vehicles) using a renewable energy source such as solar using solar panels and provide the maximum power generated. The proposed system is controlled using the Arduino UNO to view the amount of charge generated through an LCD. GSM modules give alert messages if there is an overcharge or undercharges. A rain sensor is also integrated to alert the user if there are any changes in climatic conditions that affect the charging of PV cells. The entire status of the battery along with the amount of power being transferred is uploaded to the cloud and can be seen through a webpage at any time. The main aim of this paper is in reducing the consumption of non-renewable energy sources and greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

The purpose of this study was to catch analysis at the time of fishing operations and immersing surface gill nets in Semarang Waters, Central Java, Indonesia. The research was carried out in March 2021. The research method was experimental fishing. The treatment variables included the morning operating time with 30 minutes and 60 minutes of immersion time, and the evening operating time with 30 minutes and 60 minutes of soaking. All treatments were repeated 7 times each. Data analysis using the Two Way Anova test. The composition of the catch obtained was Milkfish (Chanos Chanos), Long Jawed Mackerel (Rastrelliger sp.), Anchovy Fish (Mystacoleucus padangesis), Threadfin (Eleutheronema tetradactylum), Queen Fish (Scomberoides lysan), Grouper Fish (Epinephelus sp.), Pony Fish (Leiognatus tauvina), Emperors (Lethrinus sp.), Silver Pennah Croaker (Aspericovina jubata), Black Pomfret (Formio niger), Torpedo Scad (Megalaspis cordyla), Spanish Mackerel Fish (Scomberomorus sp.), John’s Snapper (Lutjanidae sp.), Streaked Spinefoot (Sinagus sp.), Tholi Shad (Tenualosa macrura), and Tongue fish (Cynoglossus lingua). The most catches (biomass) were treated in the morning operating time with 60 minutes of immersion. Data analysis showed that there was a significant effect on the best catch with fishing operation time in the morning (sign 0.05) and immersing time for 60 minutes (sign 0.05). There is no significance between the fishing operation time and the immersing time. The most catches (biomass) were treated in the morning operating time with 60 minutes of immersion.

ATMs (Automatic Teller Machine) are becoming widely used in today's world because they are easy to use and offer convenience. However, today's ATM technology comes with some security risks such as the theft and misuse of cards, the possibility of losing a card, and forgetting PIN numbers. A growing number of frauds committed against automatic teller machines over the last decade motivated us to use biometrics to ensure the accuracy and security of personal identification. In this paper, we describe a biometric fingerprint and face recognition system that can replace ATM cards and PINs. The transaction is successful when fingerprint, OTP, and face match. If the fingerprint does not match, the customer is guided to enter the aadhaar number. Similarly, if face matching fails, the customer is given an option to answer the question. Here aadhaar number and correct answer to the question must be entered correctly to proceed. Aadhaar number entry and question & answer options are mainly provided for those who are unable to access the system because of damage to their physical attributes (finger and face).

These days, a basic appraisal effort in clinical affiliations biometrics is finding careful biomarkers that permit settling on clinical choice assistance instruments. Parkinson ’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive illness that affects hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Although it is quite easy to identify someone affected by PD when the illness shows itself (e.g. tremors, slowness of movement and freezing-of-gait).Most works have focused on studying the working mechanism and detection of the disease in its very early stages. In such cases, drugs can be administered in order to increase the quality of life of the patients. Since the beginning, it is well-known that PD patients feature the micrography, which is related to muscle rigidity and tremors. As such, most of the approaches to detect Parkinson’s Disease make use of handwritten assessment tools, where the individual is asked to perform some predefined tasks, such as drawing spirals and meanders on a template paper. Later, an expert analyses the drawings in order to classify the progressive of the disease. In this work, we are interested into aiding physicians in such task by means of machine learning techniques, which can learn proper information from digitized versions of the exams, and them recommending a probability of a given individual being affected by PD depending on its handwritten skills. Particularly, we are interested in deep learning techniques (i.e. Convolutional Neural Networks) due to their ability into learning features without human interaction.

Thermodynamics of irretrievable processes of transfer of energy and mass of matter is the special scientific direction, which examines equalition of the second principle of thermodynamics as starting mathematical model for balance of energy and mass of matter in the elementary volume of the thermodynamics system during it cooperating with an environment. In accordance with positions of thermodynamics of irretrievable processes motive forces of processes of transfer of warmth and mass of matter are by vectors and according to principle Curie their fully possible combination, id est force which predetermines stream of thermal energy can to entail a mass stream and back to front. The closed thermodynamics heat-resistant system which interchanges thermal energy and mass of components with an environment is examined. The noted process is limited by absence of convective constituent of process of transfer in the system. The volume of the system does not change during a diffusive transfer and by treason of enthalpy in the system, as by the result of treason of thermal energy and concentration of mass, it is possible to neglect. The mathematical design of diffusive transfer of thermal energy and mass of components in the thermodynamics heatresistant system at presence of and to absence of cross effects is executed.

Підвищення точності оцінки надійності значно вантажених конструкцій, що працюють в умовах циклічних навантажень припускає розробку спеціальних методів і підходів. Відомі методи розрахунків надійності використовують статистичні методи, що базуються на теоріях вірогідності та випадкових процесів. У цих методах не враховуються мікроструктурні властивості матеріалів конструкцій і їх змінювання під час вантаження. У роботі пропонується використовувати методи статистичної механіки неоднорідних середовищ. З цією метою використовують модель середовища класу В2. У моделі вводяться елементи структури першого порядку мализни, на яких задаються макроскопічні властивості матеріалу конструкції та елементи другого порядку мализни, на яких задаються характеристики мікроструктури. У запропонованому підході вирішується статистичне пов’язане завдання деформації та руйнування неоднорідного середовища в умовах циклічних навантажень. При цьому обчислюється розподіл випадкового мікроструктурного напруження, перевищення якими граничних значень міцності мікроструктурних компонентів матеріалу призводить до їх руйнування. В умовах циклічних навантажень відбувається процес накопичення мікроструктурних пошкоджень. Накопичення мікроструктурних пошкоджень вище граничного значення призводить до руйнування елементів першого порядку мализни. Для оцінки граничного значення накопичення пошкоджень елементів першого порядку мализни пропонується раніше розроблена методика. Обчислення вірогідності руйнування елементів першого порядку мализни і задає вірогідність безвідмовної роботи (надійність) конструкції, що працює в умовах циклічного вантаження.
