Emergency Small Bowel Decompression
Authors: Day Richard G.
Published: September 2023

A not uncommon finding at the time of laparotomy for an acute intra-abdominal condition is the presence of large dilated fluid and gas filled loops of small bowel. Whether this finding is secondary to mechanical obstruction, ileus, or peritonitis, the attempt to replace it within the abdomen following corrective surgery frequently presents many problems due to insufficient room in the abdomen. When the intra-abdominal cavity is insufficient to receive contents which belong there, two methods of solution are at hand. Dr. Ivan Goni-Moreno, in a talk before the Guthrie Clinic staff not many years ago described his technique for stretching the abdominal wall by repeated preoperative pneumo-peri toneum applications This was carried out in preparation for the return of bowel and viscera to the abdominal cavity following long standing central hernia with desplacement of the viscera into the hernial sac. The problem of the fluid and gas filled bowel, obviously, cannot be handled in such a fashion. The dilated bowel with its toxic contents due to closed loop obstruction have in the past been deflated by such emergency procedures as aseptic ileotomy. Prior to the advent of the indwelling tube, this technique was not infrequently carried out. I recall on more than one occasion, Dr. Guthrie referring to the procedure suggested by Arbuthnot Lane, Holden, or Wangensteen.

Purpose:

We investigated the effects of 1- and 3-week of absolute immobilization duration on pain, range of motion (ROM), shoulder function, and recurrence rate on shoulder arthroscopic anterior capsulolabral repair (AACR) patients.

Method:

Fifty shoulder AACR patients’ pain intensity, shoulder ROM, and function were evaluated 4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery (1-week group: 26; 3-week group: 24 patients). Function was assessed with American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score at postoperative 12 weeks and final follow-up (average of postoperative 30 months). Whether there was a re-dislocation after surgery was also questioned at final follow-up.

Results:

Similar ROM were observed on both groups at the postoperative 4, 8, and 12 weeks ( p > 0.05). Pain intensities at rest ( p = 0.40), night ( p = 0.22), and during the activity ( p = 0.49) were also similar on both groups. Also, no difference was observed for function between the two groups ( p = 0.99). Only one re-dislocation was in the 3-week immobilization group.

Conclusion:

Both 1- and 3-week of absolute immobilization demonstrated similar results in terms of shoulder ROM, pain, function, and recurrence rate after the shoulder AACR. Furthermore, earlier mobilization led to higher shoulder flexion at 4 weeks postoperatively. Either of the rehabilitation approaches can be adopted based on the patient's situation.

Published: September 2023

Purpose:

The aim of this case report is to describe the design, implementation, and outcomes of a near peer instructor (NPI) placement for a physiotherapy student.

Client Description:

Participants included a Year-2 placement student (the NPI), Year-1 students from the McMaster Master of Science (Physiotherapy) Program, the anatomy instructor (AI), and the director of clinical education (DCE).

Intervention:

The AI and DCE designed a two day/week placement whereby the NPI developed and facilitated clinical application stations during scheduled anatomy and physiology (A&P) sessions with Year-1 physiotherapy students.

Measures and Outcomes:

Students, the AI and NPI provided feedback through surveys for the purpose of placement evaluation.

Implications:

Three areas of impact of this placement model were identified: (1) greater perceived ability of learners to integrate A&P knowledge with clinical skills, (2) NPI growth in transferrable skills and the seven essential competencies required of physiotherapists in Canada, and (3) additional clinically relevant A&P curricular resources.
Features of damage to the leather substitute when fired from the “FORT 12R” and “AE 790G1” pistols from different distances
Authors: Kusliy Yu. Yu. , Fedorchenko O. V. , Hel A. P.
Published: September 2023

Annotation. Examination of damage caused by firearms is always a difficult challenge for a forensic scientist. The reason for this is the unpredictability of the interaction of the trace-receiving surface with the ammunition, additional factors of the shot and residual components of the shot, which in turn is caused by the specific design of different types of firearms and the composition of different types of ammunition, which is also combined with various factors affecting pre-wound ballistics (weather factors, etc.), wound ballistics (different types of human body tissue, different materials of obstacles, their presence, etc.). All these factors require detailed study. The purpose of the study is to compare the features of damage to the leatherette as a complex “clothing + non-biological human body simulator” when shot from different distances using the “Fort 12R” and “AE 790G” pistols. The experimental study was conducted by manufacturing ballistic gelatin blocks, which were covered with leatherette and fired at close range, 25 and 50 cm using “Fort 12R” and “AE 790G1” pistols. The analysis of all fired samples of leatherette revealed the formation of a minus-tissue type defect, with the formation of a round (mostly at close range for both pistols) or oval shape (at 25 and 50 cm for both pistols). Gap formation is characteristic of point-blank shots for both pistols and the Fort 12R at 25 cm. All shot distances and both pistols are characterized by the deposition of residual shot components in the form of half-burnt or unburned powder particles. The dimensions of the defect are approximately the same, but when using Fort 12R, the formation of larger defects was recorded at all shot distances. Thus, during the visual examination, when comparing the samples of leatherette from all the studied distances, significant differences were found between all the studied groups, in particular, between the respective groups of pistols, which makes it possible to identify the pistol already during the visual examination of the sample.

Published: September 2023

Annotation. Obstructive jaundice (OJ) patients account for one of the most challenging categories of patients with abdominal pathologies. Today, both open and minimally invasive bile duct decompression techniques are used in biliary surgery. However, the criteria for the selection of minimally invasive and open surgeries in patients with OJ remain undefined. The aim – assessment of the effectiveness of using minimally invasive and open methods of bile duct decompression for the treatment of OJ with due account to OJ duration, bilirubin count, the age of patients, associated complications and comorbidities. We analyzed the results of the surgical treatment of 250 patients with OJ. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the Student’s t-test. The average age was 52±6.0 years. The average duration of OJ was 19±3.5 days. Benign OJ was observed in 210 (84.0%) patients, and malignant OJ in 40 (16.0%) patients. 136 (54.4%) patients were submitted to minimally invasive surgical interventions. One-stage minimally invasive interventions were used in 38 (15.2%) cases and two-stage minimally invasive interventions in 98 (39.2%) cases. 114 (45.6%) patients underwent open surgeries. Post-operative сomplications after minimally invasive interventions were observed in 7 (5.2%) cases and 13 (11.4%) cases after open surgeries. 2 (1.7%) patients died. So, the use of minimally invasive surgical interventions for the treatment of OJ patients makes it possible to reduce the frequency of complications by 2.2 times, which is statistically significant (p<0.05). Two-stage surgical approach to the treatment of OJ patients of senior age groups is a priority. Single-stage correction is reasonable to use for young and middle-aged patients with bilirubin count under 200 μmol/l, OJ duration less than 14 days, compensated (sub-compensated) comorbidities, and not burdened by complications.
Assessment of long-term cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by acute heart failure
Authors: Solomonchuk A. V.
Published: September 2023

Annotation. The purpose of the study is to establish the frequency of occurrence, structure and correlation of adverse cardiovascular events among patients who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by acute heart failure (AHF). The study included 308 MI patients, among them 215 men (69.8%) and 93 women (30.2%). The average age of the examined patients was (62.9±0.6) years. Among all patients, 161 (52.3%) were diagnosed with MI without signs of AHF (I class according to Killip, group I), 44 (14.3%) had MI combined with 2nd class of AHF, and 55 (17.8%) – class III MI and AHF (patients with Killip II and III AHF were combined into group II, 99 patients), and in 48 (15.6%) cases MI and AHF class IV according to Killip (group III) were detected. All patients underwent additional laboratory examination (quantitative troponin I, D-dimer, CPK-MV, C-reactive protein, NTproBNP), echocardiography and lung ultrasound during hospitalization and upon discharge from the hospital, coronary ventriculography in supplement to the standard examination. The statistical analysis of the results was carried out in the "Statistica 7.0" program package. Character frequency (%) was determined using Pearson's χ2 test, mean value (М±m), Student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used for statistical analysis, and Spearman’s correlation analysis was used. It was established that in group I there were 9 (5.6%) fatal cases during the year, in group II – 7 (7%) (р1-2=0.62), in group III – 3 (6.3%) cases (p2-3=0.54). In the group of MI with AHF II-III, there were significantly more cases of repeated MI – 4 (4%), while in group I there was no case (р1-2=0.01), and in group III there was 1 case (2.1%), (p2-3=0.54). Among the reasons for hospitalization during the year in all groups, the leading one was the progression of heart failure – from 16.7% in group III to 28.3% in group II without a significant difference between groups. Unstable angina was the reason for inpatient treatment more often in group II – 12.1% of cases and only in 4.9% in group I (р1-2=0.035). The occurrence of adverse events within 1 year among patients with MI and AHF II-III correlates with the degree of hypertension (r=0.24, p=0.014), the history of hypertension (r=0.33, p=0.0004), the presence of the atrial fibrillation in anamnesis (r=0.29, p=0.0021), creatinine level (r=0.32, p=0.0022), NTproBNP (r=0.38, p=0.0001), hemoglobin (r =-0.23, p=0.032), the number of affected vessels (r=0.28, p=0.004), the end-diastolic size of the left ventricle (r=0.31, p=0.0031), the size of the left atrium (r= 0.34, p=0.0007) and left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.27, p=0.001). Further studies should be aimed at expanding the prediction capabilities of isolated events in patients with MI and different classes of AHF.
Prospects for the introduction of simulation training in the educational process for the training of future surgical doctors
Authors: Bichkov S. , Cherkova N. , Dushyk L. , Panov S.
Published: September 2023

Annotation. The relevance of the issue concerning the exploration of prospects for implementing simulation-based learning into the educational process for training future surgeons is driven by the contemporary demand for alternative communicative approaches, effective tools, methods, and enriching traditional medical education with modern teaching technologies. The article analyses the effectiveness of using simulation equipment in virtual surgery and the feasibility of integrating simulation technologies into medical educational programs for preparing future surgeons, using the example of the simulation training center at V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. The appropriateness of utilizing the Lap Mentor technique for mastering practical surgical skills in 6th-year students during the “Cholecystectomy” training module is assessed through the practice of laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique in the university's simulation center. Comparing the research results reveals that students in the experimental group, who employed simulation methodologies to acquire practical and theoretical skills, had a relatively higher percentage of mastery of essential knowledge in the chosen subject. The results described in the article once again emphasize the advantages of using simulation-based learning in medical education practice while preparing highly skilled surgical professionals. This is due to the development of professional competencies and the acquisition of clinical experience during independent operations, which occur without harm to the patient and without subjecting the learner to stressful factors. The prospects for further developments lie in integrating simulation-based learning into the training process for the fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery, which has become a necessary condition and an integral part of ensuring the effectiveness of practical training for future surgeon physicians.

Published: September 2023

Annotation. In aim to study the socio-demographic and socio-psychological features of higher medical education graduates in the context of social-psychological maladaptation in wartime, a survey of 167 higher medical education graduates was conducted using questionnaires and a scale of social-psychological adaptation C. Rogers and R.F. Dymond. Statistical analysis of differences in quantitative traits was performed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test, categorized using Fisher's exact test (one-sided) at p<0.05. It was found that under the influence of the stress of war, the social and psychological adaptation of the students worsens in the areas of psychological well-being, microsocial interaction, learning and leisure. Socio-psychological maladaptation among students of higher medical education is more common among women and senior students, while the influence of age and material well-being on the risk of maladaptation turned out to be secondary. As socio-psychological maladaptation deepens in wartime, the specific weight of students with disorders of social functioning, in particular, intensified psychological problems, increases – among students without manifestations of socio-psychological maladaptation, 58.3%, with individual manifestations – 92.0%, with pronounced maladaptation – 90.6%; decrease in communication – 22.3%, 74.7% and 68.7%, respectively; worsening of studies – 47.2%, 59.6% and 87.5% respectively, worsening of relations with relatives – 27.8%, 47.5% and 71.8% respectively; deterioration of relations with friends – 38.8%, 61.6% and 75.0% respectively; deterioration of relations with other people – 74.9%, 71.7% and 78.2% respectively; as well as deterioration of leisure time – 55.5%, 47.5% and 81.2% respectively. At the same time, a certain part of the students without signs of socio-psychological maladaptation even in wartime proved to be able to improve their socio-psychological functioning: general psychological state – 8.4%, communication – 19.4%, education – 16.7%, relations with relatives – 50.0%, relations with friends – 44.5%, relations with other people – 8.4%, leisure – 13.9%. The revealed patterns should be taken into account when developing rehabilitation and preventive measures for higher education students with manifestations of social and psychological maladaptation.
Effect of stress on ovulatory function
Authors: Bulavenko O. V. , Kelman V. V.
Published: September 2023

Annotation. The article presents a review of the scientific literature that addresses the problem of the impact of stress on ovulatory function. Psychological stress is widespread among the population, and its health consequences have been a major topic of research in recent decades. It is considered a crucial factor in the onset, course and exacerbation of various diseases, such as depression, cardiovascular disease, immune disorders, and has been associated with higher overall mortality. Today, more and more doctors, including gynaecologists, are aware of the huge impact of various types of stress on women's health, including the reproductive system. The purpose of this analysis was to study the impact of stress on ovulatory function. A retrospective analysis of scientific literature from such scientific databases as Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, UpToDate, and Web of Science was conducted. The following keywords were used to search for information on the relationship between stress and ovulatory function: stress, ovulation, hormones, menstrual cycle. When processing the search results, we selected the most recent publications (10 years) or the most recent publications on the subject (regardless of the time of publication). In total, 31 papers were included in the inclusion criteria and are presented in this review. The problem of the negative impact of stress on women's reproductive health in the practice of gynaecologists around the world is becoming more and more relevant every year, as the level of infertility, early pregnancy loss and fertility decline is increasing. These conditions have an even greater impact on women, worsening their psycho-emotional state and increasing their stress levels. Thus, understanding how to cope with stress is critical to developing clear algorithms for preventing the effects of stress on the body and providing medical care to patients after its impact in order to preserve reproductive health.

Authigenic Minerals in Phanerozoic Volcanogenic-Sedimentary deposits of the Northern Part of the Transition Zone from the Asian Continent to the Pacific Ocean
Authors:   Il’ichev Pacific Oceanological Institute, Far East Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Mozherovsky A.V.
Published: September 2023

Authigenic minerals in Phanerozoic volcanogenic-sedimentary deposits in the northern part of the transition zone from the Asian continent to the Pacific Ocean have been studied. Сhlorite, mica, corrensite, rectorite, defective chlorite, kaolinite, smectite, calcite, barite, gypsum, epsomite, zeolites, cristobalite, quartz, and goethite were found. Corrensite, rectorite; associations: corrensite-laumontite, corrensite-epsomite-authigenic calcite and mica-kaolinite-quartz have significant indicative properties. Such a set of minerals indicates that the thickness of sediments in the studied basins could reach three to five kilometers, and the temperature of their formation could be more than 150°C. The mica-kaolinite association may indicate epicontinental sedimentation conditions associated with coal formation on nearby land, corrensite-chlorite association may indicate conditions favorable for the evaporation of sea water, and the presence of laumontite in it may indicate the periodic calcium supply to the sedimentation basin. Periods of mineral formation, possibly related to global climatic events — 113–120, 110–113, 105–110, 93–95, 72–83, 61–72, 56–61, 33–56 Ma, were identified, which can serve as reference for reconstructing the conditions of sedimentation and a basis for more reliable stratigraphic constructions.

When studying the material composition of sedimentary formations, the problem of identifying extraterrestrial matter arises, in particular, distinguishing cosmic spherules from technogenic and volcanogenic ones. Based on the results of study of a collection of 482 volumetric spherules separated from ferromanganese crusts from the Pacific Ocean floor, an additional feature of such identification based on relief forms on the surface of spherules is proposed. The article gives a detailed description of such relief forms arising during the passage by cosmic particles through the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere, isolation and separation of the Fe-Ni cores from the spherules. The presence of a round hemispherical cavity on the flattened side of the spherule, a depression with concentric circles, or a «button» structure, as well as the presence of a Fe-Ni core is a sufficient but not necessary sign to consider a spherule cosmogenic.

Este artículo presenta los resultados de un proyecto desarrollado en la Universidad de Antioquia, que analiza cómo se articulan las experiencias de profesores universitarios en inserción profesional, con su desarrollo profesional. Para ello, se utilizan las narrativas en una perspectiva de investigación con y para los participantes que recoge experiencias formativas y profesionales de profesores de distintas unidades académicas. En el análisis, se identifican problemáticas que derivan de sus experiencias previas y de su relación con las funciones sustantivas de la educación superior. Finalmente, se concluye que, las trayectorias profesionales influyen en su acoplamiento a la cultura profesional del centro, lo cual, a su vez, va reconfigurando su identidad alrededor de las actividades misionales que privilegian; en este caso la docencia y la investigación y en menor medida, la extensión y la administración, y donde las políticas de ascenso y promoción pueden en algunos motivar y delinear la ruta hacia su desarrollo profesional.
Forced Emplacement
Authors: Hirsch Eric
Published: September 2023

As intensifying floods and other climate extremes proliferate, narratives of unidirectional climate migration have become ubiquitous in media coverage and policy debates. This article reviews new scholarship that attends to an underreported dimension of climate change impact exposure. Emerging conversations in Indigenous climate justice research, mobility studies, and critical urban adaptation scholarship seek to understand why so many marginalized communities find themselves immobilized in the face of climate extremes. I argue that these scholars are building a concept of forced emplacement to politicize and historicize the uneven distribution of climate harms. Drawing on this scholarship and brief ethnographic sketches from my work in Peru and the Maldives, I follow forced emplacement across diverse case studies that root devastating immobilizations from flooding in local histories of colonial confinement, unevenly policed mobility, and varied efforts to control marginalized populations. I also illuminate how climate-exposed communities contest adaptation projects that reproduce their immobilization.
Indigenous Fire Futures

Published: September 2023

Dominant causal explanations of the wildfire threat in California include anthropogenic climate change, fire suppression, industrial logging, and the expansion of residential settlements, which are all products of settler colonial property regimes and structures of resource extraction. Settler colonialism is grounded in Indigenous erasure and dispossession through militarism and incarceration, which are prominent tools in California's fire industrial complex. To challenge settler colonial frameworks within fire management, Indigenous peoples are organizing to expand Indigenous cultural controlled burning, fire stewardship, and sovereignty. These initiatives emphasize reciprocal human-fire relations and uphold Indigenous knowledge systems and livelihoods. Concurrently, Indigenous fire sovereignty is threatened by knowledge appropriation and superficial collaborations. In this article, we review contemporary research on Indigenous burning in order to highlight the strategies that Indigenous communities and scholars employ to subvert colonial power relations within wildfire management and actualize regenerative Indigenous futures.

Наградная система крупнейшей мусульманской страны мира Индонезии претерпела значительные изменения в ходе демократических преобразований рубежа XX–XXI веков. Функционирование её орденов и медалей позволяет отчётливо увидеть способы взаимодействия государства и общества, формирование иерархии кавалеров и групповой солидарности, сложности в подборе инструментов поощрения различных категорий населения. В статье на основе анализа законодательных актов и открытых источников характеризуются две группы наград Индонезии – знаки отличия Tanda Jasa в форме Medali и новые гражданские медали класса Satyalancana, учреждённые при Мегавати Сукарнопутри и Сусило Бамбанг Юдойоно. Знаки отличия Tanda Jasa по существу представляют собой разновидность орденов и вручаются крайне редко. Из новых гражданских медалей наиболее распространены, по-видимому, «За улучшение местной администрации» (Satyalancana Karya Bhakti Praja Nugraha), «За заслуги в области образования» (Satyalancana Pendidikan) и «За заслуги в области спорта» (Satyalancana Dharma Olahraga). В меньшей степени вручается медаль «За заслуги в развитии туризма» (Satyalancana Kepariwisataan). Сведений о награждении медалью «За молодежный вклад» (Satyalancana Dharma Pemuda) найти не удалось. Наградная система отчасти фиксирует привычную возрастную иерархию традиционной государственной структуры и отражает преобладание чиновничества среди награжденных.

THE EU AND ASEAN: A RESILIENCE PERSPECTIVE
Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russia, STRELNIKOVA Irina A. , KHARINA Olga A. ,   HSE University, Moscow, Russia
Published: September 2023

As in the present international circumstances governance and regulation shifts to the regional level, conventional wisdom suggests that approaches of regional actors to the concept of resilience differ significantly. In reality, however, more similarity than difference is evident. To explain this puzzle, the authors turn to the narrative of resilience developed by the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as well as points of similarity and difference. Starting from an outline of the resilience narrative in the EU, the paper further proceeds to revealing its specific features from an ASEAN perspective to finally draw lines of comparison between those two approaches. While selected papers address approaches to resilience in the EU and ASEAN, none has gone beyond merely describing them separately. As a result, understanding of how resilience is interpreted in various regions, and how these interpretations may be synergized remains stagnant. More than that, assessments of resilience-related issues, if explored individually, may be misleading and incomplete. The paper eliminates this shortcoming and offers new insights into the conceptualization of the resilience narrative from a regional perspective by comparing two influential multilateral dialogue venues, namely, the EU and ASEAN. This factor accounts for the academic novelty of the research. The findings indicate unexpected commonalities between the EU’s and ASEAN’s interpretations of resilience across different lines of comparison. The authors argue that these points of synergy may be an important unifying component in relations between various regional actors, as a new wave of globalization appears and gains traction.

Spatial Econometric Approach to Modeling Election Results in Russia: Municipal Level
Authors: Kuletskaya Lada
Published: September 2023

In this article we assess the role of mutual influence of voters living in neighboring territories and the influence of socio-economic factors on the example of voting results for the main candidate in the 2018 elections in Russia. We claim that spatial factors (neighboring of municipalities, regions and belonging of municipalities to the same region) significantly affect the results of voting for the main candidate in each municipality. To confirm this hypothesis, we evaluated several different specifications of the Durbin model, which include dummy variables for the region and other spatial factors, and compared the results with the specifications of the model without taking into account spatial factors. We confirmed main hypothesis: the results of voting depend on the region in which the municipality is included, and, in addition, there is a positive spatial autocorrelation (the results of voting in neighboring municipalities depend on each other). The absence of consideration of spatial factors reduces the quality of regression fitting, there coefficient estimates are biased, and the qualitative picture of the results obtained is distorted. We also showed that the economic situation of the region also affects the results of the voting: economically stronger the municipality received higher share of votes for the main candidate.
The middle class: An analysis of the dependence of size on the level of income inequality
Authors: Varshavsky Alexander
Published: September 2023

The article examines the dependence of the middle class size on the level of income inequality. For this purpose, the indicators that characterize the size of the middle class (the share of income of the middle class as a whole and the shares of its different strata) are analyzed. For this the analytical expressions were used which were found using the income distribution model based on the finite functional sequence that was developed by the author and described earlier in several articles. The results obtained in the work show a certain stability of the income share of the middle class as a whole in a rather wide range of the level of income inequality. At the same time, it is shown that there are significant differences in the dependence of the income shares of various middle class strata on the level of inequality. With the help of analytical expressions obtained on the basis of the developed model, a diagram is constructed for an approximate assessment of the middle class size depending on the level of income inequality. This diagram allows to estimate the size of the middle class for its various definitions in relation to the median income. Based on the results obtained, some variants of the possible reaction of the middle class as a whole and its individual strata to the increase in income inequality were considered. It is concluded that the middle class, being a source of stability, at the same time can become the initiator of the income inequality reduction when the inequality level is very high.
CYLINDRICAL SETS OF E-REPRESENTATION OF NUMBERS AND FRACTAL HAUSDORFF – BESICOVITCH DIMENSION
Authors: Baranovskyi O. , Hetman B. , Pratsiovytyi M.
Published: September 2023

For infinite-symbol E-representation of numbers $x \in (0, 1]$:
\[
x = \sum_{n=1}^\infty
\frac{1}{(2+g_1)\ldots(2+g_1+g_2+\ldots+g_n)}
\equiv \Delta^E_{g_1g_2\ldots g_n\ldots},
\]
where $g_n \in \Z_0 = \{ 0, 1, 2, \ldots \}$, we consider a class of E-cylinders, i.e., sets defined by equality
\[
\Delta^E_{c_1\ldots c_m}
= \left\{ x \colon x = \Delta^E_{c_1\ldots c_mg_{m+1}\ldots g_{m+k}\ldots}, \;
g_{m+k} \in \Z_0, \; k \in \N \right\}.
\]
We prove that, for determination (calculation) of fractal Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension of any Borel set $B \subset [0, 1]$, it is enough to use coverings of the set $B$ by connected unions of E-cylinders of the same rank that belong to the same cylinder of the previous rank.

Published: September 2023

In the paper we investigate the properties of the Abel-Poisson transformation of the Hermite formal series (differentiability property, boundary properties). Such series are identified with linear continuous functionals defined on the space $S_{1/2}^{1/2}$, which belongs to spaces of type $S$. The space $S_{1/2}^{1/2}$ coincides with the class of analytic vectors of the harmonic oscillator -- the operator $d^2/dx^2+x^2$, which is integral and self-adjoint in the Hilbert space $L_2(\mathbb{R})$. An explicit form of the function, which is the core of the Abel--Poisson transformation, was found, and the properties of this function were investigated. The application of such transformation is given when studying the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a degenerate partial differential equation.
ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOLUTIONS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS ACCORDING TO GIVEN SEQUENCES OF ZEROS AND CRITICAL POINTS
Authors: Shavala O.
Published: September 2023

A part of the theory of differential equations in the complex plane $\mathbb C$ is the study of their solutions. To obtain them sometimes researchers can use local expand of solution in the integer degrees of an independent variable. In more difficult cases received local expand in fractional degrees of an independent variable, on so-called Newton - Poiseux series. A row of mathematicians for integration of linear differential equations applied a method of so-called generalized degree series, where meets irrational, in general real degree of an independent variable. One of the directions of the theory of differential equations in the complex plane $\mathbb C$ is the construction a function $f$ according given sequence of zeros or poles, zeros of the derivative $f'$ and then find a differential equation for which this function be solution.

Some authors studied sequences of zeros of solutions of the linear differential equation
\begin{equation*}
f''+Af=0,
\end{equation*}
where $A$ is entire or analytic function in a disk ${\rm \{ z:|z| < 1\} }$.

In addition to the case when the above-mentioned differential equation has the non-trivial solution with given zero-sequences it is possible for consideration the case, when this equation has a solution with a given sequence of zeros (poles) and critical points. In this article we consider the question when the above-mentioned differential equation has the non-trivial solution $f$ such that $f^{1/\alpha}$, $\alpha \in {\mathbb R}\backslash \{ 0;-1\} $ is meromorphic function without zeros with poles in given sequence and the derivative of solution $f'$ has zeros in other given sequence, where $A$ is meromorphic function. Let's note, that representation of function by Weierstrass canonical product is the basic element for researches in the theory of the entire functions. Further we consider the question about construction of entire solution $f$ of the differential equation
\begin{equation*}
f^{(n)} +Af^{m} =0, \quad n,m\in {\mathbb N},
\end{equation*}
where $A$ is meromorphic function such that $f$ has zeros in given sequence and the derivative of solution $f'$ has zeros in other given sequence.

Authors: Shelar Amitkumar , Ronge B. P.
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study was to understand the behavior of martensitic H13 steel in accordance with the microstructural evolution, mechanical properties and wear in repeated tempering cycles. The microstructures were characterized by axio image observer microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD). Uniaxial tensile test, charpy v-notch impact test, rockwell hardness test and wear test were conducted to analyze the changes in mechanical properties, impact properties, hardness and wear in repeated tempering cycles. The specimen prepared were subjected to the hardening at 1030 °C for 20 minutes, oil quenched and subjected to repeated tempering cycles at 570 °C for 2hrs holding time each. The mechanical properties recorded indicates that the maximum ultimate tensile strength obtained was at double tempering due to secondary hardening effect i.e., alloy carbides precipitation offering strength to the matrix and corresponding wear was found to be minimum. The annealed specimen revealed bainitic microstructure and with hardening and repeated tempering cycles, fine needle like structure and carbides was observed in microstructure and retained austenite was converted into martensite and martensite was converted into tempered martensite. Carbide size and martensite lath distribution controls the strength and fracture rate.

Authors: Gerson Carole
Published: September 2023

Public attention has recently shifted from focusing almost exclusively on Anne of Green Gables and Montgomery’s other fictions to recognition of the author herself as a compelling historical figure, in line with the mandate of the Lucy Maud Montgomery Society of Ontario (LMMSO), who oversee and operate the Historic Leaskdale Manse, that “[w]e are not Anne of Green Gables; we are L.M. Montgomery.”1 Montgomery is now honoured in a wide range of commemorative activities in the public sphere and enjoys a flourishing afterlife on the page and on the stage.

Fungsi ekologis mangrove sangat penting, terutama di daerah pesisir. Ekosistem mangrove juga berfungsi sebagai penyerap dan penyimpan karbon. Kemampuan vegetasi untuk mengambil karbon dari atmosfer melalui proses fotosintesis, mengubahnya menjadi karbohidrat, dan kemudian menyimpannya dalam bentuk biomassa adalah faktor yang menentukan besarnya simpanan karbon. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan nilai biomassa dan simpanan karbon vegetasi di Hutan Mangrove di Desa Tengin Baru, Ibu Kota Nusantara. Dalam penelitian ini, dua jalur transek dengan panjang 125 m masing-masing terdiri dari tiga plot lingkaran. Setiap plot memiliki subplot dengan radius 2 m untuk tumbuhan berdiameter kurang dari 5 cm dan 7 m untuk tumbuhan berdiameter lebih dari 5 cm. Dengan menggunakan metode tanpa pemanenan, nilai biomassa dapat dihitung dengan mengukur diameter vegetasi mangrove berdasarkan karakteristik akar vegetasi, pengukuran tinggi, dan nama jenisnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa biomassa di atas tanah sebesar 243,148 ton/ha dan biomassa di bawah tanah sebesar 89,965 ton/ha, sehingga total biomassa tegakan mangrove sebesar 333,113 ton/ha. Sementara itu, simpanan karbon atas sebesar 114,280 ton/ha dan simpanan karbon bawah sebesar 42,283 ton/ha, sehingga total simpanan karbon tegakan mangrove di Desa Tengin Baru sebesar 156,563 ton/ha.
