Authors: Jannah Marichatul , Prakoso Dimas , Erfansyah Muhammad
Published: December 2024

This study evaluates an innovative dental holder designed to improve patient comfort and radiographic image quality in intra-oral periapical examinations. Conducted at Muhammadiyah University Semarang Dental and Oral Hospital, the research involved 30 patients who used the modified holder featuring a 20-degree tilt, biocompatible PLA material, and silicone pads. Results showed that 73.33% of patients experienced no nausea, and 93.33% had no allergic reactions, highlighting the holder's safety and comfort. Although 56.67% reported excessive oral pressure, 60% noted reduced pain due to the silicone pads. The holder also improved image quality, with 76.67% of patients acknowledging clear apical images, and 100% reporting no distortion or blurring. The study indicates that while the holder significantly enhances patient comfort and image quality, further design adjustments are needed to address size-related issues. Future developments should focus on customizing the holder for local anatomical variations and exploring additional eco-friendly materials. Enhanced training for practitioners and further research with diverse populations are recommended to optimize the holder's effectiveness.
The digital image in digital fashion as part of the virtual reality of the future
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, Muzalevskaya Yuiya E.
Published: December 2024

The invasion of the digital world into the real world, taking place in this historical period, has led to a change in human relationships with society and with oneself, which causes fears in the scientific community about the loss of humanity. However, the expansion of freedom in some areas of life, such as design engineering, virtual reality, provides new op-portunities for development. Vestigial fashion, which is turning into a digital format and is called digital fashion, has a fundamentally dif-ferent content and form, since it does not ap-peal to a real person, but to his virtual version – an avatar. In this fashion, the concept of "virtual", known since ancient Greek times, has been supplemented with new content, including digital technologies, thanks to which the imaginary acquires a completely tangible material existence. An avatar, that is, a virtual manifestation that does not relate to a real person and does not possess the complex of feelings and emotions that are inherent in a real person, can be fully called a simulacrum. But the avatar in the context of the modern desire for hedonism, for "life on display" in social networks, is in demand. With its help, digital fashion opens up new perspectives for the subject, giving him the opportunity to choose an individual identity, but at the same time eliminating the need for the material realization of the designer's ideas. Being a kind of game, fashion has the ability to satis-fy an individual's inner need for novelty. The positive side is also the conservation of ecolo-gy, since the selected models can only exist in virtual space. Since digital clothing has been introduced relatively recently, many aspects of its existence and coexistence with real fashion have not been evaluated and ana-lyzed. The future of digital clothing remains unclear, so the topic seems relevant in sever-al aspects. One thing is certain – computer technologies provide designers with a new order tool that expands the possibilities of creativity and does not imply a change in the spiritual and ethical potential of a person.
Philosophical contacts: Moscow – Gorky – Nizhny Novgorod (conversation with Professor A.M. Dorozhkin)
Authors:   National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Volkov Yuri K. , Dorozhkin Alexander M. ,   National Research Lobachevsky State University
Published: December 2024

The article is based on a conversation with A.M. Dorozhkin, Professor of Nizhny Novgorod State University. It examines little-known facts from the history of the relationship between the philosophers of Moscow and Nizhny Nov-gorod (Gorky) and assesses the current state and prospects for the philosophical education and philosophical scholarship at Nizhny Nov-gorod University and in the Nizhny Novgorod philosophical community. In his retrospective and still relevant analysis of the listed issues A.M. Dorozhkin notes the role played by the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Acade-my of Sciences in his professional develop-ment as a philosopher and philosophy teach-er. He recalls his collaboration with V.I. Mishin, the former head of the University Philosophy Department, and the friendship with V.A. Kutyrev and A.L. Nikiforov. He also evaluates the activities of the current head of the department I.T. Kasavin and explains the peculiarities of the relationship between the philosophers of the Nizhny Novgorod Universi-ty and the leading philosophical centers in Moscow. Talking about the processes that can be interpreted as a «philosophical brain drain» from Nizhny Novgorod, A.M. Dorozhkin notes their divergence since in some cases there is a reverse trend, due to which famous Russian philosophers remain in Nizhny Novgo-rod or visit the city research and education institutions. At the same time, the main rea-son for centripetal processes, according to Professor Dorozhkin, is the choice of departed philosophers in favor of doing research in conditions when it is necessary to combine scholarship with teaching work. At the end of the conversation A.M. Dorozhkin speaks in fa-vor of opening the Faculty of Philosophy in Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod University
Logics of power
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Nevvazhay Igor D. , Denisova Natalia Y. ,   Saratov State Law Academy
Published: December 2024

In the 20th century, the paradigmatic atti-tudes of the classical type of culture and sci-ence were criticized by postmodern philoso-phy and characterized as onto-theo-teleo-phallo-phono-logical centrism. The article ex-amines the connection between classical logic and the idea of power. Aristotelian logic de-fines those laws and rules of thought and speech that ensure the dominance and power of true knowledge. This logic corresponds to the genus-species ontology and the doctrine of essence. In it, the unity of variety bases on the subordination of any part to the whole. Only one opinion is true, whereas all the oth-ers are false. The article draws attention to the fact that even in ancient times two types of power were distinguished – the power of force and the power of competence. There-fore, along with the logic of domination of power, it makes sense to consider the logic of power as authority. Such logic works in those areas of human life where people are not dealing with a single truth, but with different reasoned opinions. These are areas where dif-ferent values collide and where different in-terests cannot be reduced to one. We are talking about areas of communication where there are exchanges of services that ensure the achievement of the interests of each par-ty. In order to carry out this exchange, people enter into power relations due to the authori-ty of one side and the desire of the other side to acquire the competence of power. The log-ic of authority must be radically different from the logic of force. The article attempts to de-scribe some aspects of the logic of communi-cation and dialogue. It is shown that, firstly, the unity is created by agents of communica-tion, and, secondly, unity is ensured by the mutual reasonable of opposing claims.

Семантическое пространство диалектных названий снега в якутском языке
Authors: Николаев Егор
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена описанию семантических особенностей диалектных названий снега в якутском языке. Компонентный, семантический анализы позволили определить семантическое поле хаар ‘снег’. Мотивирующие признаки диалектных значений образуются на основе сравнения физических свойств снега. Выявлено, что рассмотренные названия раскрывают схожие значения снега – пышный, рыхлый, пушистый. Некоторые названия образуют коннотативный характер периферийных значений снега. При этом в семантическое поле основ могут включаться признаки, обозначающие движение, физические особенности (человека), предмета (вещи), в том числе и консистенция молочной пищи (взбитые сливки) и др. Анализ показал, что слово может иметь одно значение, оформленное в виде различных частей речи с помощью различных аффиксов. Семантическое поле названий снега образует семантическое пространство якутских названий снега, который характеризуется рядом признаков: 1) распространенность в разных говорах; 2) ядерное слово (сема) хаар ʽснегʼ в качестве родовой лексической единицы объединяет ряд признаков, описывающих различные виды снега; 3) размытость ареалов говоров вследствие употребления диалектного названия снега в одной или нескольких диалектных зонах (колымские, вилюйские и т.д.). Семантическое пространство названий снега образует языковую картину мира как результат наблюдений на протяжении длительного времени реалий окружающего мира. Значимость изучения названий снега заключается в лингвистическом описании повседневного быта якутов.
Глаголы с семантикой ремесленных действий в словаре Махмуда ал-Кашгари как отражение хозяйственной и социальной жизни древних тюрков
Authors: Темиргазина Зифа , Андрющенко Ольга , Амангелди Айнур
Published: December 2024

Махмуд ал-Кашгари в «Диван Лугат ат-Турк» зафиксировал тезаурус древне тюркского языка конца Х – начала XI вв. Соответственно, в этом произведении отражена картина мира древних тюрков этого периода. Исследователи-историки относят дошедшие до нас древние письменные свидетельства к важным источникам сведений о территории проживания того или иного народа, о его социальных и экономических устоях. Представленные в тексте «Диван Лугат ат-Турк» глаголы со значением «ремесленное действие» дают представление о состоянии развития ремесел в хозяйственно-экономической жизнедеятельности тюрков Х-ХI веков. Дифференциальные семы в семантике данных глаголов позволяют распределить данные глаголы по лексико-семантическим подгруппам, характеризующим различные виды ремесел. Наибольшее число глагольных номинаций имеет подгруппа «портняжное дело» (18 глаголов) и «оружейное дело» (15 глаголов). Количество слов в тезаурусе, относящихся к тому или иному ремеслу, свидетельствует не только о его распространенности, но и дают представление о его специфической природе (многоэтапности процесса, детализированности, сложности). Помимо названных выше, выделенные нами глаголы относятся к таким видам ремесел, как плотничество, кожевенное дело, ткачество, валяние войлока, искусство брадобреев. В семантике данных глаголов зафиксированы как обобщенные наименования соответствующих процессов, так и узкоспециальные детализированные действия. В ряде глаголов отражена культурная специфика тюрков, например, в подгруппе «портновское дело» для замера ткани используется понятие «тюркский локоть», в подгруппе «кожевенное дело» зафиксирован глагол, характеризующий специфический способ резания кожи. Таким образом, языковые факты помогают установить определенный фрагмент концептуальной картины мира древних тюрков, дополняя исторические и археологические источники.
Род (клан) Кыргыз в составе башкир. Башкиро-кыргызские этногенетические параллели
Authors: Бикбулатова Аниса , Асылгужин Альберт , Максутова Альбина
Published: December 2024

Проникновение в Башкирию таких родоплеменных групп, как хакас, киргиз, ун, сарыг, ас, а также табын, относится к IX–X вв. и связано с экспансией хакасов (кыргызов) в западном направлении, в эпоху так называемого «кыргызского великодержавия». Важные сведения для реконструкции ареала расселения башкир и кыргызов содержатся в работах средневековых восточных (арабских, персидских) географов и историков. Во времена Чингиз-хана, как это отражено в «Кысса-и Чингиз-хан», кыргызы давно были частью башкирского народа, составляя самостоятельный Кыргызский улус (аймаҡ, иләү). После принятия башкирами московского (российского) подданства в середине XVI в. традиция автономного политико-правового статуса башкир была сохранена. Большая часть башкирских родов официально (юридически) закрепили за собой занимаемые ими земли – коллективное право родов (вотчинное право). Результаты генетических исследований помогают уточнить версии происхождения и пути миграции предков родового объединения Кыргыз в составе башкир, уточнить вопросы о генетической близости протестированных представителей ряда башкирских и кыргызских родов (кланов). Целый ряд иных родовых групп башкир имеют относительно близкое генетическое родство с кыргызскими родами (а также ряда казахских родов) по Y-хромосоме на различных родственных субкладах Ү-хромосомной гаплогруппы R1a. Особый интерес представляет обнаруженная генетическая близость протестированных представителей башкирского рода Кошсо и кыргызского Кушчи из Таласской области Кыргызстана.

Published: December 2024

Қазақ елінің рухани-мәдени тарихында Алтын Орда дәуірі тұсындағы жазба әдеби мұралар үлкен орын алады. Орта түркі дәстүрлер түркі халықтарының ортақ рухани-мәдениеті біртұтас орта түркі тілінен көрінді. Осы орта түркі тілінің негізінде қыпшақ-оғыз, оғыз қыпшақ тілді әдебиет өркендеп, ұлттық ерекшеліктер де айқындала бастады. Дегенмен әдеби жазба жәдігерліктерде шығыстық поэтикалық дәстүрлері анық байқалды. Алтын Орда тұсындағы әдеби-көркем шығармалардың қатарында Құтыптың «Хұсрау мен Шырын», Хорезмидің «Мұхаббат-наме» ғашықтық дастандарының орны ерекше. Зерттеудің мақсаты – жазба әдеби мұралардың бойындағы рухани-мәдени құндылықтар әлемін, оның ішінде эстетикалық таным-түсінікті зерделеу. Сонымен қатар тамырын тереңнен тартқан көркемдік-эстетикалық ұғымдардың қазақ әдебиетіндегі өрісі қарастырылды. Зерттеу барысында тарихи-салыстырмалы, баяндау әдістері мен мәтіндік талдау қолданылды.Алтын Орда жазба әдеби мұраларында өзіндік дүниетаным, көркемдік-эстетикалық шешім, талғамдары тілдік құралдар, эпитет, метафора, теңеулер, айшықты сөздер, тұрақты тіркестер, сөз-символдар арқылы әдемі көрініс тапқан. ХІІІ-ХІV ғасырлардағы әдеби жәдігерліктерде рухани-мәдени дүниетанымның, эстетикалық көзқарастың дереккөзі, мол қоры бар. Әдеби мұра тіліндегі қолданыстар кейінгі қазақ әдебиетінде өрісін жалғастырып, әдемілікті, сұлулықты бағалаудың тұтас әдеби бейнесін беріп тұр. Жалпы адамзаттық дүниетаным кеңістігінде ұлттық мәдениетті көрсететін – әдеби жазба мұралар. Қазақ әдебиетінің көркемдік, рухани ұстанымдарының, эстетикалық дүниетанымының тарихы осы орта ғасырлық жазба әдеби ескерткіштерде жатыр. Зерттеу жұмысының практикалық мәні зор. Алынған нәтижелерді әдебиет тарихында, мәдениеттануда қолдануға болады.
Словообразование и словоизменение несубстантивных лексико-грамматических классов в древнетюркском языке
Authors: Дубровина Маргарита
Published: December 2024

В предлагаемой статье автор обращается к материалу первого письменного языка тюрок – языку древнетюркских рунических надписей. Памятники относятся к периоду VI-IX вв. и представляют собой тексты, выбитые на каменных поверхностях специфическими руническими знаками. Учеными доказано, что этот язык не соотносится с каким-либо из современных тюркских языков, однако представляет собой смешанный вариант литературного языка (койне), который включает в себя как огузские элементы, так и некоторые значимые элементы языков кыпчакской и карлукской групп. Язык рунических надписей привлекателен для лингвистов со многих точек зрения, но в сферу интереса настоящего исследования попадает морфология таких частей речи, информацию o которых нечасто можно встретить в специальной тюркологической литературе – именах прилагательных, наречиях и именах числительных. В результате тщательного анализа удается прийти к заключению, что, несмотря на древность исследуемого языка, в нем уже обнаруживается довольно развитая система словообразовательных форм этих несубстантивных категорий: имена прилагательные способны образовываться с помощью нескольких форм, наречия имеют, по меньшей мере, две словообразовательные формы. Сфера словоизменения (формообразования) также начинает возникать, в языке этого периода она затрагивает, прежде всего, имена числительные, которые имеют порядковую и собирательную форму. Последние формы автором относятся к области словоизменения, а не словообразования по причине того, что вновь образованные формы числительных не меняют своего исходного лексического значения, продолжая выражать конкретные количества.

Authors: Кенжалин Қуанышбек , Таңсықбай Әділет , Еспекова Ләззат
Published: December 2024

Этноним – этникалық топтың өзін-өзі анықтауының маңызды элементі. Этнонимдер саяси, әлеуметтік және мәдени ортадағы өзгерістерді көрсететін күрделі семантикалық тарихқа ие болуы мүмкін. Бұл аспектіні зерттеу әртүрлі этникалық топтар арасындағы қарым-қатынастардың эволюциясын түсінуге және олардың өзара әрекеттесуіндегі үрдістерді анықтауға көмектеседі. Қазақ сөзі тіркелген орта ғасырлық жазба ескерткіштердің бірі – Захираддин Мұхаммед Бабырдың қаламынан шыққан «Vaqayi`» еңбегі. Бабыр – барлас тайпасынан шыққан танымал қолбасшы, саясаткер, жазушы, Ауғанстан мен Үндістан билеушісі, Бабыр әулеті империясының негізін қалаушы. «Бабырнама» деп ғылымда аталып жүрген жазбада қазіргі Қазақстан, Өзбекстан, Ауғанстан, Үндістан аумақтарында болған тарихи оқиғалар түркітілді автордың ой елегінен өтіп баяндалады. Бұл мақалада орта ғасырларда шағатай түрки тілінде жазылған өмірбаянда тіркелген қазақ, қазақлық, қазақана сөздерінің семантикасы, қолданылу сипаты қарастырылады. Тілдік талдау барысында тілдік, тарихи-мәдени контекске баса назар аударылған. Тілдік деректерді талдау нәтижесінде анықталған мағыналар: қазақ – «қазақ елі мен ұлт атауы», «батыл», «батыр», «барлаушы», «қарақшы»; қазақлық – «саяси тұрақсыздық кезінде билеушінің өз жұртымен түзге шыққандағы күйі, іс-әрекеттер кешені (әскери шапқыншылық, барымта, қарақшылық т.б.)», қазақана – «қарапайым». «Бабырнамада» қолданылған мағыналар қазақ ұлтының аталуына негіз болды деген пікір ұсынылады. Сондай-ақ, қазақ – қарақ – алаш лексемаларындағы тілдік байланыс қарастырылады. Авторлар Захираддин Мұхаммед Бабыр өз өмірбаянында қазақ сөзінің көпмағыналығын шебер қолданған деген қорытындыға келеді.

Chronic illness in children significantly affects their emotional well-being, often leading to feelings of depression. Play therapy, with its recognized potential as a crucial intervention for reducing negative emotions in children, offers hope in the face of such challenges. This study investigates the effects of play therapy on depression levels in children with chronic illnesses. This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2022 with a pre-and post-test design involving control and intervention groups. The sample comprised 60 children aged 7 to 12 with chronic illnesses, selected from six Children’s Medical Center Hospital departments. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n=30) or a control group (n=30). Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Maria Kovacs Children’s Depression Inventory, which includes 27 items. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 16. The study included 60 participants. There was no significant difference in depression levels between the intervention and control groups before the intervention (P=0.06). However, post-intervention results showed a significant reduction in depression scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (P<0.001). Additionally, the intervention group demonstrated a significant decrease in depression levels after the intervention (P<0.001), while the control group did not show significant changes (P=0.268). The findings indicate that play therapy, with its potential to reduce depression levels in children with chronic illnesses, offers hope. Incorporating play therapy into treatment protocols is recommended to enhance the mental health of these children.

The present study aims to determine the effect of a problem-solving-based educational intervention on nursing students' clinical decision-making. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 50 undergraduate nursing students divided into test and control groups. The test group received eight training sessions focused on problem-solving strategies, while the control group engaged in traditional training methods. Data were collected using a clinical decision-making questionnaire before and after the intervention. The findings revealed a significant increase in the average clinical decision-making scores of the test group after the intervention (from 68.84 (standard deviation [SD]=16.68) to 83.84 (SD=5.67), P<0.01). Conversely, the control group showed no significant difference in scores (from 72.64 (SD=6.10) to 76.32 (SD=6.19), P=0.08). An independent t-test indicated a significant difference in clinical decision-making scores between the test and control groups post-intervention (P<0.01). Problem-solving-based education significantly enhances the clinical decision-making skills of nursing students, highlighting the importance of incorporating this educational approach into nursing curricula to improve critical thinking and decision-making in clinical practice. Further research with more diverse samples is recommended to validate these findings.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a transformative force in healthcare, offering innovative solutions across various fields [1]. In intensive care units (ICUs), where patients are critically ill and require constant monitoring and swift interventions, AI is a valuable and highly effective tool to elevate nursing care to new heights [2]. The unique demands of the ICU, with its high patient acuity and complex care needs, make it an ideal environment for integrating AI technologies. By leveraging AI, nurses are better equipped to provide timely, accurate, and personalized care while optimizing their workflows and enhancing patient safety [3]. From real-time data analysis to predictive insights and customized care plans, AI is reshaping how nurses manage critically ill patients and improving outcomes in one of the most challenging areas of healthcare [4].

This study aims to investigate the effect of resilience interventions on the spiritual well-being of working adolescents. This study is a randomized controlled trial with two groups: intervention and control. The research used psychometrically validated questionnaires to assess spiritual well-being and life orientation (SHALOM). The educational content’s validity was confirmed, and a resilience intervention tailored for adolescents was developed and validated. The study was conducted at a child labor support association, with a sample size of 33 participants in each intervention and control group. Before the intervention, participants completed the spiritual well-being and resilience questionnaires, and the intervention was conducted over eight one-hour sessions twice a week. Post-intervention, the questionnaires were completed again. In the intervention group, the mean resilience score before the intervention was 3.52; after the intervention, it was 3.41. The observed changes were not statistically significant (P>0.05), indicating that the intervention did not have a meaningful impact on improving resilience. Similarly, in the control group, which did not receive any intervention, the mean resilience score before the intervention was 3.32; after the intervention, it was 3.27 (P>0.05), showing no notable difference in resilience levels in the control group. Regarding spiritual well-being, the mean score in the intervention group was 3.84 before and after the intervention, which decreased to 3.69 (P>0.05). In the control group, the score dropped from 3.57 to 3.49 (P>0.05). Overall, neither group showed significant changes in resilience or spiritual well-being, suggesting that the intervention did not have a meaningful effect on these outcomes. Therefore, it is recommended that further research be conducted in this area.

Published: December 2024

This manuscript introduces a generalized operator and presents new Darbo-type fixed point theorems pivotal in the existence theory of integral and differential equations. The significance of these theorems lies in their ability to provide conditions under which solutions to complex mathematical problems can be guaranteed. We establish our results by employing the measure of noncompactness within the context of Banach spaces, a framework that allows for a comprehensive analysis of functional equations. Our findings extend existing Darbo-type fixed point theorems and offer a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematical structures. By generalizing these results, we contribute to the broader field of fixed-point theory, enhancing its applicability to various mathematical disciplines. The implications of our work are substantial, as they facilitate the development of new methods for solving integral and differential equations that arise in both theoretical and applied contexts.
Acculturation of international graduate students in U.S. higher education institutions
Authors: Gao Bing , Wesely Pamela M.
Published: December 2024

Every year, the U.S. witnesses an increase in the number of international students pursuing higher education. Researchers, who have focused primarily on international undergraduates, have suggested that international students often encounter various acculturative stressors while adapting to new academic and living environments. Moreover, there is expanding research on coping strategies adopted by most international undergraduates to manage acculturative stressors. Although the number of international graduate students (IGSs) has surpassed that of international undergraduates in the U.S. since 2020, their experiences in higher education contexts have still received relatively less attention than their undergraduate counterparts. This study employed Yakushko’s (2010) theoretical model of stress and coping strategies to examine the acculturation experiences of ten IGSs from three U.S. higher education institutions. The findings revealed common acculturative stressors for IGSs, the factors in those stressors, and the coping strategies employed by IGSs and the corresponding consequences.

Published: December 2024

In this paper, we investigate the perspective of students who have performed studio immersion, which consists of three Asian universities in batches 2022 and 2023, with a total of 147 students from Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan. We used mixed methods research to identify real obstacles and challenges and to determine to what extent this study benefits students. The results show that the students experience a progressive understanding of personal development, a broader meaning of architecture beyond technical and aesthetic systems but social and cultural, and an understanding of architecture as a multifaceted profession. The students reported their dissatisfaction with the pursuit of the university’s reputation, studio dynamics, and uncertainty in the assignment’s limitations. English interaction among students is not affected by their early exposure to English for their generation. This type of studio immersion could create a new studio culture that is unique to a global learning experience.

Published: December 2024

From the dawn of human history, mankind has always made efforts to create more effective tools for combating other creatures, including fellow people. Thus, the utilisation of different species of animals, the creation of new weapons and other means of human progress have always led to new developments, aimed at emulating, replacing or combating these innovations. The development of unmanned aerial vehicles has prompted the need to develop alternative and innovative countermeasures. These methods may range from the usage of interceptor drones to the application of concentrated energy beams. This paper examines the progress and known uses of laser technology in the context of combating unmanned aerial vehicles. In order to deepen and systematize knowledge about the development of laser applications in the military field, a systematic bibliographic analysis of scientific papers and popular publications on the development of both laser technologies and unmanned aerial vehicles over the past century was conducted. The study focused on developments that were built (at least as a prototype) and tested against various unmanned aerial vehicles. The results were then compared with a number of articles that separately focused on the history, prospects, and current issues in the development of laser weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles. At the same time, due to the fact that laser technology is one of the most rapidly and comprehensively developing areas of scientific progress, it was decided to use a periodic classification model, the main criterion of which was the focus of laser technology development on countering unmanned aerial systems. The issue of determining the cause-and-effect relationship that links the development of unmanned aerial vehicle technologies and designs with the shift in the focus of laser weapons development to counteract them was considered. It is noted that, due to the high requirements for human and financial capital, the direction and pace of development of laser weapons depend not only on technological limitations, but also on the vision of military strategy and possible threats at a given time. As a conclusion, a variant of periodization of the history of the development of laser weapons as a means of combating unmanned aerial vehicles was proposed.
Academician of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences Petro Mykhaylovych Suprunenko: Life and activity
Authors: Yanin Volodymyr , Petruchenko Oleksiy
Published: December 2024

The article updates the most significant information about the outstanding scientist-mechanic and railwayman of the first third of the 20th century Academician of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences Petro Mykhaylovych Suprunenko (1893–1938). It is proven that his activities in the field of railway development are a significant contribution to the development of world science and technology. The main scientific works of the scientist and engineer are devoted to important problems of transport mechanics. He paid special attention to locomotive and wagon construction (he was a wagon designer). Wagons were built on the basis of a large amount of experimental material, which at one time received significant public resonance and scientific and technical recognition. It is emphasized that P. M. Suprunenko was one of the first railway engineers who proposed a scientific analysis of the interaction of the track with the rolling stock of railways. The article notes that today P. M. Suprunenko is mentioned very little, only fragments of his biography are described, only some of his scientific works are characterized. In the Institute of Transport Mechanics of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences headed by him, the following research was successfully developed under his leadership: methodological problems of transport mechanics were highlighted in order to comprehensively solve the tasks of modernization of the railway industry; research of non-stationary dynamic processes of interaction of rolling stock (train) with the track system (especially the study of the resonance phenomenon); research of the theory of calculations of locomotive traction on railway tracks in order to optimize elements of transport mechanics and increase their efficiency, etc. The article describes in detail each of these areas of research by P. M. Suprunenko. In general, his research focused on problems of railway transport. In the field of train traction theory, P. M. Suprunenko created a number of new methods for graphical integration of differential equations of train motion, paid significant attention to improving existing ones and creating new devices designed to measure the characteristics of various processes occurring in rolling stock and tracks. The scientist's achievements in the initial period of railway transport construction in Ukraine, especially on the South-Western Railways, are confirmed. The article shows that the role of P. M. Suprunenko was in his scientific work as an "idea generator" and a leading theorist in combination with engineering activities.
Features of suicidal behavior in childhood
Authors: Kozlov V.A. , Golenkov A.V. , Filonenko A.V.
Published: December 2024

The PubMed database has been searched for publications on suicides committed by children primarily under 12 years of age. Based on the analysis of the found material, a justification is given for the increased research interest from the point of view of the genetics of suicide in children under the age of 12. It is emphasized that these children do not yet have clinically significant mental disorders, social and economic problems, which are a priori considered to be the cause of suicide in adults. From the literature studied, it follows that in many countries of the world, especially developed and economically prosperous ones, in recent years the number of
child suicides in the age group under 14 has been increasing, while among adults aged 20 and older the number of suicides has been decreasing. The issues of family inheritance of suicidal behavior (SB) are considered.
It is noted that in the population of children who have experienced parental suicide, suicides are committed more often and earlier than by their peers. Inheritance of SB occurs to a greater extent on the maternal side, and suicides are more often committed by boys. A comparison of SB and suicide in children under 12 years of age and adults showed that they generally do not differ among suicide victims of the compared groups. In both populations, there is a predominance of suicides among males and a set of suicide methods used that is identical in frequency. It is obvious that SB in children under 12 is heritable and manifests itself early in the form of
more aggressive behavior, self-harming behavior, and expression of suicidal thoughts. Children commit suicide, as a rule, without a visible reason or warning; the reason is often momentary and insignificant, discovered by adult’s post factum when trying to explain the cause of suicide. It is concluded that SB and suicides under the age of 12 are presumably realized as a result of an inherited unconscious imperative aimed at self-aggression.

Suicidological terminology in scientific research and clinical practice. Part I
Authors: Lyubov E.B. , Bannikov G.S. , Zotov P.B.
Published: December 2024

Consistent definitions and terms are useful in clinical and research work. This multi-part review presents the background, rationale, and methodology for the development and implementation of a nomenclature for self-harm (SHB) involving the assessment of intent. Unifying terms for SH and suicidal behavior (SB) as part of its continuum are proposed. The historical context highlights controversial and confusing terms and definitions; efforts to improve the ability to clearly and confidently report SB elements in key prevention issues; and next steps in the process of developing and implementing a standardized nomenclature and classification system in the field of suicidology.

Effect of Metal Catalysis and Functionality of a Metallosiloxane during the Formation of Metallosiloxane–Epoxy Materials
Authors: Pletnev S. I. , Parshina M. S. , Tarasenkov A. N. , Muzafarov A. M.
Published: December 2024

The catalytic activity of a wide range of metals incorporated into the structures of metallosiloxane oligomers in the curing process of epoxy-diane resins has been estimated. From the viewpoint of activity, the most preferable metallosiloxanes are those containing Al, Hf, and Nb, and from the viewpoint of cost—Al, Ti, FeII, Zr. It is shown that the structure and functionality of the metallosiloxane can serve as the factors to control the formation of a metallosiloxane–epoxy material, which allows for increasing the efficiency of metal catalysis.

Published: December 2024

The possibility of application of carboxy- and thioether-containing alkoxysilanes as additives in the formation of elastomeric SiO2-filled polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) compositions cured with zirconium siloxanes has been studied. It is shown that the introduction of these additives into the system ensures an increase in the dielectric constant, provided that the final components are compatible (up to ε' ≥ 4 at f =102 Hz). By varying the composition and initial ratio of the components, it is possible to achieve the desired mechanical characteristics suitable for using the resulting materials as actuators.
