Authors:   Ataturk University, Turkey, Gürses Ahmet , Şahin Elif , Güneş Kübra
Published: April 2022

This study aims to reveal the effectiveness of the problem-based learning (PBL) model in teaching the concepts of heat, temperature and pressure, as well as the effect of the activities on the development of scientific process skills. For this purpose, the change in the academic achievement levels of the students constituting the sampling group was tried to be determined with a pilot application designed based on this model. The research was carried out on a single group based on a pretest-posttest applied quasi-experimental design. Teaching activities addressing the concepts of heat, temperature and pressure and designed according to the PBL model were carried out in a private school over a two-week period. In this context, a unique problem situation was designed, in which two brothers watched and discussed the volume changes of small and large inflated balloons with the effect of temperature, and student-centered activities were carried out, in which demonstration, lecture, question-answer and discussion methods were dominantly used. The problem situation, which includes important connections such as gas, gas pressure, temperature and heat concepts, the relationship between heat and temperature, and the relationship between temperature and pressure, which are known to be quite difficult to understand by 8th-grade students, were implemented sequentially in a single scenario. From the pretest-posttest results, it was determined that there was a significant positive difference in the academic achievement levels of the students constituting the sampling group after the application, and there was a very large difference between the pretest-posttest scores (66.0-92.5). As a result, it can be said that very striking results can be achieved in understanding the selected concepts and the relations between them, with the scenario and appropriate teaching activities designed in a sufficient time based on the problem-based teaching model, and especially the effective and interactive use of demonstration and question-answer methods. Moreover, the results of the pre-test and post-test related to the integrated science process skills test showed that the application in question led to a positive and significant difference in the scientific process skills of the students.
Posthuman Creativities: Democratizing Creative Educational Experience Beyond the Human
Authors: Rousell David , Harris Daniel X. , Wise Kit , MacDonald Abbey , Vagg Julia
Published: April 2022

This chapter explores the urgent relevance of posthumanist theory and practice for democratizing creative educational experiences in 21st-century schools, universities, and informal learning environments. Posthumanism challenges the myopic centering of the human in creative education in an age of climate change, artificial intelligence, and zoonotic disease, where nonhuman agencies are intricately imbricated in human cultures and lives. Using a cartographic methodology, the chapter critically maps key theories and debates in posthumanist creativity studies across four substantive fields of inquiry: (a) process philosophy, (b) affect studies, (c) place-based education, and (d) creative ecology. Drawing links between theoretical concepts and practical examples of creative experience across formal and informal education contexts, the chapter scopes an alternative agenda for critical studies of creativity in light of the posthuman turn.
Connected Arts Learning: Cultivating Equity Through Connected and Creative Educational Experiences
Authors: Peppler Kylie , Dahn Maggie , Ito Mizuko
Published: April 2022

This review brings together scholarship from creative educational experiences (CEE) and connected learning to describe a connected arts learning framework, reframing arts education in the 21st century with a focus on connecting youths’ interest-driven art making to opportunities through supportive relationships. Such a framework pushes the arts education field to consider outcomes beyond artistic skill acquisition and academic achievement to include a broader range of opportunities, including those civic- and career-related; promote interest development through targeted exposure to new forms of art making; create and implement professional development and programming to emphasize networks and connections; and draw from culturally sustaining practices to bridge connections between spaces for learning. A connected learning lens applied to what we know about high quality arts education sharpens our focus on how CEE can cultivate equity and social/cultural connection for youth.
Ming and Qing Dynasty ‘Hundred Antiques(bógǔ)’ Export Ceramics for the European Market in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
Authors: Shin Juhye
Published: April 2022

This paper aims to examine the aspects of a particular design that appears on Chinese export porcelain produced for the European market in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The bogu design portrays bronze vessels or other ancient objects as the central component supplemented by auspicious subjects such as scholar's accoutrements(文房淸玩) and the eight treasures(八寶). The specific elements included in the design and the overall composition changed throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These changes can be categorized into three distinct types and periods. Chinese bogu ceramics exported to Europe also had an effect on the ceramic production of its destination. The European reproduction of bogu ceramics took form in two ways. The first is a faithful imitation that strived to emulate the exact shape, design, and style of the Chinese ceramics. The second is a departure from the original as it incorporated elements of European taste. Most notably, the combination of 'bogu' elements with aspects of Chinoiserie and European still-life paintings, as seen during the transformation stage of Chinese bogu ceramics, was a significant development that emerged as a new trend in European ceramics.
Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor Mediated Regulation of Early Myeloid Cells in Zebrafish
Authors: Meier Anna B. , Basheer Faiza , Sertori Robert , Laird Miranda , Liongue Clifford , Ward Alister C.
Published: April 2022

Background: Colony-stimulating factor 3 (CSF3), more commonly known as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), acts via a specific cell surface receptor CSF3R (or G-CSFR) to regulate hematopoiesis, with a particularly key role in the myeloid cell lineage where it impacts the development and function of neutrophilic granulocytes. Zebrafish possess a conserved CSF3R homologue, Csf3r, which is involved in both steady-state and emergency myelopoiesis, as well as regulating early myeloid cell migration. Two CSF3 proteins have been identified in zebrafish, Csf3a and Csf3b. Methods: This study investigated the roles of the Csf3a and Csf3b ligands as well as the downstream Janus kinase (JAK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways in mediating the effects of Csf3r in early myeloid cell development and function using gene knockdown and pharmacologic approaches. Results: This study revealed that both Csf3a and Csf3b contribute to the developmental and emergency production of early myeloid cells, but Csf3a is responsible for the developmental migration of early neutrophils whereas Csf3b plays the major role in their wounding-induced migration, differentially participated in these responses, as did several downstream signaling pathways. Both JAK and PI3K signaling were required for developmental production and migration of early myeloid cells, but PI3K signaling was required for emergency production and initial migration in response to wounding, while JAK signaling mediated retention at the site of wounding. Conclusions: This study has revealed both distinct and overlapping functions for Csf3a and Csf3b and the downstream JAK and PI3K signaling pathways in early myeloid cell production and function.
Osteopontin (OPN)/Secreted Phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) Binds Integrins to Activate Transport of Ions Across the Porcine Placenta
Authors: Wu Guoyao , Li Xilong , Seo Heewon , McLendon Bryan A. , Kramer Avery C. , Bazer Fuller W. , Johnson Gregory A.
Published: April 2022

Background: Fetal-placental development depends on a continuous and efficient supply of nutrients from maternal blood that are acquired by exchange through the placenta. However, the placenta is a low permeability barrier, and effective transport of substances depends on specific transport mechanisms. Active transport requires that ions or nutrients be moved against an electrical and/or concentration gradient. In pigs, active transport of ions occurs across the chorioallantois placenta to produce an electrochemical gradient that changes throughout gestation. The aim of this study was to utilize Ussing chambers to detect regulation of ion transport across the porcine chorioallantois by a factor(s) within the uterine-placental environment of pigs. Methods: For the measurement of transchorioallantoic voltage potential as an index of ion transport across the placenta, pieces of chorioallantoic tissue from Day 60 of gestation were mounted into the cassettes of Ussing chambers, and treatments were added to the mucasal side of the tissue. Treatments included: (1) media incubated with Day 60 chorioallantois (placenta-conditioned media); (2) osteopontin/secreted phosphoprotein 1 (OPN/SPP1) purified from cow’s milk; (3) placenta-conditioned media from which OPN/SPP1 was removed; and (4) recombinant rat OPN with an intact RGD integrin binding sequence or a mutated RAD sequence. Ouabain was added to both sides of the chamber. Immunofluorescence was utilized to localize beta 3 integrin, aquaporin 8 and OPN/SPP1 in porcine placental tissues, and OPN/SPP1 within porcine lung, kidney and small intestine. Results: Day 60 chorioallantoic membranes had greater transepithelial voltage in the presence of porcine placenta-conditioned media, indicating that a molecule(s) released from the placenta increased ion transport across the placenta. OPN/SPP1 purified from cow’s milk increased ion transport across the placenta. When OPN/SPP1 was removed from placenta-conditioned media, ion transport across the placenta did not increase. Recombinant rat OPN/SPP1 with a mutated RGD sequence that does not bind integrins (RAD) did not increase ion transport across the placenta. Ouabain, an inhibiter of the sodium-potassium ion pump, ablated ion transport across the placenta. Conclusions: The present study documents a novel pericellular matrix role for OPN/SPP1 to bind integrins and increase ion transport across the porcine chorioallantoic placenta.

Published: April 2022

Background: Sleep disturbance is one of the most common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the confounding effects of dopaminergic medication on sleep are a major challenge in understanding the impact of sleep disturbance in PD. We investigated the sleep disturbance and associated clinical features in patients with de novo, untreated PD. Methods: One-hundred-eight patients with de novo, untreated PD were included. Night sleep disturbance was evaluated using the night sleep subscale of the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson’s Disease (SCOPA-Sleep). Depression, anxiety, and apathy were assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Apathy Evaluation Scale (AES), respectively. Early perfusion and dopamine transporter imaging of F-18 FP-CIT PET/CT were performed together with statistical parametric mapping analysis. Results: The night sleep SCOPA-Sleep sub-score was correlated with the AES (p = 0.014), BAI (p = 0.014), and GDS (p = 0.023) scores. Patients with poor night sleep were more apathetic (p = 0.013). Additionally, there was increased perfusion in the left posterior cingulate in patients with sleep disturbance and apathy compared to those with sleep disturbance only. Conclusions: Night sleep disturbance was related to mood disorders, particularly apathy, in patients with de novo, untreated PD.
Sleep Apnea and Abnormal Respiratory Patterns with Deep Sedation during Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Tomita Yasuhiro , Kimura Yuka , Kasagi Satoshi , Kasai Takatoshi
Published: April 2022

Background: Abnormal respiration during radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) with deep sedation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) can affect the procedure’s success. However, the respiratory pattern during RFCA with deep sedation remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate abnormal respiration during RFCA and its relationship with sleep apnea in patients with AF. Methods: We included patients with AF who underwent RFCA with cardiorespiratory monitoring using a portable polygraph both at night and during RFCA with deep sedation. The patients were divided based on the administered sedative medicines. Results: We included 40 patients with AF. An overnight sleep study revealed that 27 patients had sleep apnea; among them, 9 showed central predominance. During RFCA with deep sedation, 15 patients showed an abnormal respiratory pattern, with 14 patients showing obstructive predominance. Further, 17 and 23 patients were administered with propofol alone and dexmedetomidine plus propofol, respectively. There was no significant between-group difference in the respiratory event index (REI) at night (7.9 vs. 9.3, p = 0.744). However, compared with the group that received dexmedetomidine plus propofol, the propofol-alone group showed a higher REI during RFCA (5.4 vs. 2.6, p = 0.048), more frequent use of the airway (47% vs. 13%, p = 0.030), and a higher dose of administered propofol (3.9 mg/h/kg vs. 1.2 mg/h/kg, p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis revealed that only the propofol amount was associated with REI during RFCA (p = 0.007). Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that respiratory events during RFCA with deep sedation were mainly obstructive. Propofol should be administered with dexmedetomidine rather than alone to reduce the propofol amount and avoid respiratory instability.

Published: April 2022

Background: A 70 years-old superobese man (weighted 230 kg) was referred to our hospital for recurrent syncope due to asystole alternating to atrial fibrillation. Convectional pacing was highly challenging; therefore, it was decided to implant a leadless pacemaker in a multidisciplinary intervention with surgical management of the femoral venous access. Methods: In a fully equipped operating room with bariatric table and appropriately dimensioned fluoroscope, a vascular surgeon performed surgical isolation of the right common femoral vein. After that, we proceeded to insert sheaths via the femoral vein, and through that a steerable transcatheter delivery system for the device. Results: The implant was successful without complication. Conclusions: Leadless pacemaker implantation can be effectively and safely performed even in superobese patients. Vascular access, fluoroscopic guidance and electronic interrogation could be easily managed and do not constitute a limit.

Published: April 2022

Initially described in 1936, non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare entity involving sterile vegetations on cardiac valves. These vegetations are usually small and friable, typically associated with hypercoagulable states of malignancy and inflammatory diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Diagnosis remains challenging and is commonly made post-mortem although standard clinical methods such as echocardiography (transthoracic and transesophageal) and magnetic resonance imaging may yield the clinical diagnosis. Prognosis of NBTE is poor with very high morbidity and mortality usually related to the serious underlying conditions and high rates of systemic embolization. Therapeutic anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin has been described as useful for short term prevention of recurrent embolic events in patients with NBTE but there are no guidelines for management of this disease.

Published: April 2022

Background: Enhancing community based Chronic Disease Management (CDM) will make significant impacts on all major chronic disease management outcome measures. There are no successful models of community hubs to triage and manage chronic diseases that significantly reduce readmissions, cost and improve chronic disease knowledge. Chronic heart failure (CHF) management foundations are built on guideline derived medical therapies (GDMT). These consensuses evidenced building blocks have to be interwoven into systems and processes of care which create access, collaboration and coordinate effective and innovative health services. Methods: Perspective and short communication. Conclusions: This review explores: (i) conventional chronic disease management in Australia; (ii) Possible options for future chronic diseases models of care that deliver key components of CHF management.
What is the Role of Coronary Physiology in the Management of Patients with Chronic Coronary Syndromes?
Authors: Saunders Alec , Curzen Nick
Published: April 2022

The use of coronary physiology in patients with chronic coronary syndromes is highly variable, and the evidence base complex. Tests of coronary physiology have traditionally been invasive (e.g., fractional flow reserve), but novel non-invasive methods are now available which provide additional anatomical information (e.g., computed tomography-based fractional flow reserve and angiogram-derived physiology). This review summarises the evidence for and against the relative value of these tests for patients being investigated for chest pain that may represent chronic coronary syndromes, and for those triaged to percutaneous coronary intervention.

Published: April 2022

The objectives of this research were 1) to study the relationship between student factors, English language instructor factors, and environment factors with students' achievement in English language learning and 2) to develop equations to forecast factors affecting students' achievement in English language learning. The population used in this research was 415 students of Thailand National Sports University of Central Region enrolled in the English for Communication Course in the second semester of the academic year 2019. The sample size was determined using the Krejcie & Morgan table. A sample of 200 was obtained and a simple random sampling method was used based on the proportion of the population on each of the five campuses. The research instrument was a five-rating scale questionnaire comprising items on student factors, English language instructor factors and environment factors, with a reliability of the whole questionnaire of 0.973. The statistics used in the data analysis were fundamental statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The major findings indicated that there were four factors affecting students’ achievement in English language learning with statistical significance at the .01 level namely, attitude variables towards learning English language course (X1), instruction management variable (X4), student availability variable (X2), and classroom environment variable (X7). The four factors could jointly explain the variance of students’ achievement in English language learning by 52.50% and could be used to forecast students’ achievement in English language learning in the form of raw scores and standard scores as follows:

Published: April 2022

Despite a strong body of evidence demonstrating the importance of school belonging across multiple measures of wellbeing and academic outcomes, many students do not feel a sense of belonging to their school. Internationally, school closures caused by COVID-19 lockdowns contributed towards additional challenges for developing students’ sense of school belonging. This study examines secondary students’ sense of belonging during COVID-19 and uses a socio-ecological framework to explore students’ perspectives of school-wide practices that most effectively influence belonging in secondary schools. Participants were 367 Australian secondary students. Thematic analysis of student responses to open-ended questions in a survey yielded four themes related to teacher-level practices related to student belonging, including emotional support, support for learning, social support, and respect and inclusion. Seven themes related to school-level practices including school-wide social and emotional support, activities and opportunities for social connection, respect, equity and diversity, positive school culture, supportive and effective teachers, environment and safety, and student voice and choice. The implications of these findings are discussed and strategies are provided to enact the student-identified practices to enhance belonging in schools.

Evaluation of Discoloration After Thermocycling in CAD/CAM Blocks of Different Thicknesses
Authors: Kara Recep
Published: April 2022

The study aims to evaluate the color of CAD/CAM blocks of different thicknesses after thermocycling as in-vitro. A total of 180 samples (n=10) were prepared in 2 thicknesses (0.5mm, and 1.0 mm) from various CAD/CAM blocks of different structures (Katana UTML, Prettau® 4 Anterior® Dispersive, IPS e-max Cad, Vita YZ-XT, Vita YZ-T, Vita Suprinity PC, Vita Enamic, Shofu HC, G-Ceram). The color values of the samples (L*, a*, b*) were measured before and after thermocycling. The discoloration (ΔE) data obtained were statistically compared with two way-ANOVA, Tukey HSD posthoc tests, and Paired Sample T-Test (p<0.05). The highest average discoloration was found in the Katana group (ΔE=3.07) with a thickness of 1 mm, while the lowest was found in the Shofu HC group (ΔE=0.49) with a thickness of 0.5 mm. In contrast, the ΔE value was significantly different in samples with a thickness of 1 mm and 0.5 mm (p<0.05), there was no difference in the ΔE values in the groups in themselves. Discoloration values of test materials depending on thickness varied, but the difference of thickness in the same material did not affect the color change. All the color changes were clinically accepted.

Evaluating false positive rates of standard and hierarchical measures of metacognitive accuracy
Authors: Rausch Manuel , Zehetleitner Michael
Published: April 2022

A key aspect of metacognition is metacognitive accuracy, i.e., the degree to which confidence judgments differentiate between correct and incorrect trials. To measure metacognitive accuracy, researchers are faced with a choice between a plethora of established and novel options. The present study investigated false positive rates associated with various measures of metacognitive accuracy by hierarchical resampling from datasets of the confidence database to accurately represent the statistical properties underlying confidence judgements. Many measures that require the computation of summary-statistics separately for each participant and a subsequent group-level analysis using these summary-statistics performed adequately in terms of false positive rate, including gamma correlations, confidence slopes, meta-d’, and the area under the type 2 ROC curves. Meta-d’/d’ was associated with a false positive rate below the nominal alpha level, but log-transformed meta-d’/d’ performed adequately. Measures based on a hierarchical analysis did not perform equally well: HMeta-d was associated with a false positive rate slightly above the nominal alpha level. Logistic mixed model regression analysis was associated with dramatically inflated false positive rates when random slopes were omitted from model specification. In general, we argue that measures of metacognitive accuracy should not be trusted unless there is a rigorous examination of associated false positive rate.

Lupus anticoagulant: a clinical and laboratory diagnostic dilemma
Authors: Trivedi Shalini , Jain Pooja , Dixit Nutan , Arun Manoj , Singhal Udita
Published: April 2022

Lupus anticoagulants are a group of diverse autoantibodies that interfere in vitro in phospholipid-dependent clotting tests, and inhibit both the common and intrinsic pathways of coagulation. Paradoxically, they are implicated to cause hypercoagulability, thrombotic events in vivo in varied clinical settings like obstetrics and oncology.
A 56-year female was referred to the laboratory with complaint of repeated de novo clotting of drawn plasma samples. She was a post-operative case of surgery for superior mesenteric venous thrombosis, and a previously diagnosed case of squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa, not on treatment. The patient was evaluated clinically for new onset hypercoagulability and the history of exposure to heparin was negative, which ruled out heparin induced thrombocytopenia. The differential diagnosis were lupus anticoagulant, staphylococcal septicemia, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. On advanced work up, inhibitor screen was negative, dilute Russell's viper venom time was positive.

Published: April 2022

Background: Urinary tract cytology is an accurate test for the detection of urothelial malignancy especially high-grade urothelial carcinoma. The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology was introduced to standardize urinary tract cytology reporting. We aim to evaluate the utility of reporting urinary cytology as per this system and correlate with histopathology.
Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional prospective study conducted on urine samples submitted for cytological examination at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital, Sinamangal, Nepal between 1st November 2020 to 31st July 2021. Ethical consent was taken from the Institutional Review Committee. Urine cytology was reported as per The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology and correlated with the histopathologic diagnosis. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated for the high-grade and low-grade urothelial lesion.
Results: A total of 104 urine samples were evaluated. Biopsy specimens were available for 38 cases. Urine cytology consisted of 1.92% non-diagnostic cases, 69.23% negative for high-grade urothelial carcinoma, 5.76% atypical urothelial cells, 5.76% suspicious for high-grade urothelial carcinoma, 13.46% high-grade urothelial carcinoma, and 3.84% low-grade urothelial neoplasm respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value were 90.48%, 82.35%, 86.37% and 87.5% respectively for high grade urothelial carcinoma and 40%, 93.9%,50% and 91.17% respectively for low grade urothelial lesions.
Conclusions: Our study shows that reporting urine cytology as per The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology provides high sensitivity for the detection of high-grade urothelial lesions.

Spontaneous Rupture of an Unscarred Uterus in the Second Stage of Labour: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Azadi Negin , Azadi Negin , Chaudhry Noor , Chaudhry Ahsen , Garrett Wood Angelica
Published: April 2022

Background: Uterine rupture is a rare, but severe pregnancy complication. It is mostly associated with history of uterine surgery, especially previous cesarean section but can rarely occur in unscarred uterus. Diagnosing this condition in the absence of uterine scar requires a high degree of suspicion and fetal heart tracing abnormalities remain the most common symptom.
Case Report: 21-year-old G2P1 was admitted in latent labour. Pitocin was used for augmentation. Fetal heart tracing was in category 1 except an episode of bradycardia accompanied by uterine tachysystole that was resolved by resuscitative measures and turning off Pitocin. Later in the labour course, the FHT showed recurrent late and variable decelerations, cervix was found to be fully dilated at the time. Pushing was started and following a prolong deceleration, cesarean section was performed that showed a uterine rupture in the posterior wall of uterus.
Conclusion: Although rare, uterine rupture should be considered as a diagnosis even in the absence of uterine scar as the main risk factor.

Published: April 2022

The design of a turbulence type machine without a passive connection in its kinematic circuit, which has a negative impact on the performance of the equipment, is proposed. This design of the machine can be realized by introducing into the kinematic circuit an additional movable link – a connecting rod, which is connected by one rotating kinematic pair to the working capacity, and the other – to the driven fork. The principle of operation of the mechanism and the machine is described. Studies have been carried out to determine analytically the basic geometric and structural parameters of the machine, which, in general, ensure its rational operation. The relationship between the geometric parameters of the moving parts of the machine and the change in the amplitude of their movements. In particular, expressions are obtained that make it possible to calculate the amplitude of the change in the distance between mutually perpendicular geometric axes of the forks to the working tank and the additional movable link of the connecting rod, as well as the amplitude of the angle between the working tank axis and the connecting rod axis. The obtained results of analytical researches can be used in the corresponding design bureaus of the machine-building enterprises at a stage of designing of the shredding equipment with difficult spatial movement of working capacities.

Other people’s opinions have always been an important piece of information for most of us in the decision-making process. The interest shown by users to online reviews and comments, as well as the potential impact of these comments on issues in discourse and decision-making, make them pay attention to this aspect of online activity. Finding the best products for sale is one of the most important stages in the process of creating a profitable company. That is why the choice of goods for an online store should be carried out deliberately, taking into account both the capabilities and analysis of prospects in the niche, as well as a number of other important parameters. One of the methods of choosing a competitive product may be the analysis of goods in marketplaces based on the emotional color of the calls. Product feedback research is an extremely popular topic, which is confirmed by the analysis of studies. Calls can be constantly reread, but when there are many goods in one segment, because there are more manufacturers, it is laborious. Therefore, the development of technology that will be able to automate this process is necessary for business sales. The article developed an intelligent method of choosing a competitive product based on the emotional color of the calls, which is divided into three blocks: a feedback parser, the definition of emotional coloring and the classification of calls. The findings will help retailers manage their websites wisely and help customers make product purchase decisions. In the next scientific researches, the implementation of the method will be carried out on the data of the Ukrainian site Rozetka. The classification of the most classical methods of classification based on machine learning will be carried out, namely Support Vector Classifier, Stochastic Gradient Decent Classifier, Random Forest Classifier, Decision Tree Classifier, Gaussian Naive Bayes, K-Neighbors Classifier, Ada Boost Classifier, Logistic Regression.

Currently, a lot of human resources are required to get rid on poultry farms from viruses and determining the fertility of chicken embryos with three states: live, dead and weak, and then take measures to increase hatching. The article discusses an artificial neural network (ANN) structure to automate the monitoring of the chicken eggs development with identifying viable embryos. A technique for separating the chicken eggs area to sectors to automate the ovoscoping process has been developed. The structural scheme of the artificial neural network contains a set of synapses, each of which is characterized by its weight. Synapses input signals are multiplied by weight and folded by adder. When adding, a threshold is also taken into account, which has a negative value. To generate a signal at the network output, the activation function of a single jump is applied. A VHDL model of neural network is developed, consisting of an adder of the input signal elements and subtractor vector, discharge grid output signal of which is the output signal of the network. The model of an adder of the input signals vector is designed in VHDL. The modeling of recognition of various states of chicken embryos is performed. When perform the ovoscoping, the light sector of the egg area corresponds to a signal equal to 0, and the dark sector to signal 1. Total, the state of 6 sectors of area of the poultry egg in the model is analyzed. During the simulation, when a live embryo is fixed, the signal at the output of the network is 1, and when a dead egg is detected, this signal is 0. Verification of the VHDL model against test sets is confirmed the diagnostic properties of the ANN model. By including artificial intelligence in the FH vision system, visual control of the chicken embryos development is automated using an autonomous, easily integrated solution, as opposed to executing solutions that require special programming tools and runtime environments. This vision system also does not require artificial intelligence expertise to set up in poultry farms.
