Performing Calibanesque Baptisms: Shakespearean Fractals of British Indian History
Authors: Chatterjee Arup K.
Published: September 2021

This paper uncovers new complexity for Shakespearean studies in examining three anecdotes overlooked in related historiography—the first Indian baptism in Britain, that of Peter Pope, in 1616, and its extrapolation in Victorian history as Calibanesque; the tale of Catherine Bengall, an Indian servant baptised in 1745 in London and left to bear an illegitimate child, before vanishing from Company records (like Virginia Woolf’s invention Judith Shakespeare vanishing in Shakespeare’s London); and the forgotten John Talbot Shakespear, a Company official in early nineteenth-century Bengal and descendant of William Shakespeare. I argue that the anecdotal links between Peter, Caliban, Catherine, Judith, Shakespear and Shakespeare should be seen as Jungian effects of non-causal “synchronic” reality or on lines of Benoit Mandelbrot’s conception of fractals (rough and self-regulating geometries of natural microforms). Although anecdotes and historemes get incorporated into historical establishmentarianism, seeing history in a framework of fractals fundamentally resists such appropriations. This poses new challenges for Shakespearean historiography, while underscoring distinctions between Shakespeareanism (sociological epiphenomena) and Shakespeare (the man himself).
The Inverted Initiation Rituals in Shakespeare with a Special Emphasis on Hamlet
Authors: Wicher Andrzej
Published: September 2021

The article deals the possibility of applying Vladimir Propp’s, basically anthropological idea of “the inverted ritual” to the interpretation of certain plays by William Shakespeare, particularly Hamlet. The said inversion concerns three rituals: the sacrificial ritual, where the passive and obedient victim suddenly rebels, or at least becomes difficult to control (which is the case, for example, of Ophelia in Hamlet); of the initiatory ritual, where the apparently benevolent master of the characters initiation is shown as a monster (which can be exemplified by Claudius, Hamlet’s uncle); and of the matrimonial ritual, where the theoretically loving husband (more rarely wife), or lover, is revealed as a highly malicious and unpredictable creature, an example of which can be Hamlet himself. The article makes use of the work of such critics as G.K. Wilson, Harold Bloom, Vladimir Propp, René Girard, and Mircea Eliade.

Published: September 2021

Background: Tomato is one of the most important vegetable crop grown in the world. Identification of better genotypes among the existing germplasm leads to the success of breeding programme. Elite genotypes should be known for our trait of interest. Methods: A field experiment was carried out at Vegetable Experimental Field, SKUAST-K, Shalimar, Srinagar during Kharif-2018 in which twenty seven genotypes of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were evaluated to estimate the performance of genotypes on various quality traits like lycopene content, titrable acidity, ascorbic acid content, total soluble solids and juice to pulp ratio. Result: Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits under studied. Highest lycopene content was recorded in the genotypes 2015/TODHYB-1, Roma and VRT-19 Whereas highest TSS content was exhibited by Kashi Aman, Roma, Jawahar-99 and Shalimar Hybrid Tomato-1. Highest titrable acidity recorded in Marglobe followed by 2015/TODHYB-4 and Kashi Hemanth. Juice to pulp ratio was highest in the genotypes namely, 2016/TODVAR-5 and Kashi Vishesh. Hence, the best performed genotypes can be used as such in promotion of tomato production programme as elite germplasm lines/varieties or may be recommended for commercial cultivation after testing them over years and locations.

Published: September 2021

Background: Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a highly valued plant grown in tropical and subtropical countries. Moringa has a high amount of crude protein, a well-balanced amino acid profile, vitamins and minerals and fewer quantities of antinutritive factors. Methods: Eighteen growing Deccani lambs of uniform body weight (14.22±1.5 kg) and age were randomly allotted to three treatment groups viz., 100 per cent groundnut cake (T1), 75% groundnut cake+ 25% Moringa oliefera leaf meal (T2) and 50% groundnut cake+ 50% M. oliefera leaf meal (T3) as a protein source in the concentrate mixture. The experiment was conducted for 90 days. Result: No significant difference was found in the fortnightly body weights of the lambs from 1st to 6th fortnights among three dietary groups. Total weight gain and Average Daily gain (ADG) were significant (P less than 0.01) among the treatment groups whereas DMI (kg/day), per 100 kg and FCR was non-significant. The digestibility coefficients (%) of all nutrients were non-significant (P greater than 0.05) except the NFE. Pre-slaughter weight, empty body weight, hot carcass weights and dressing percent on pre-slaughter weight and empty body weight were comparable among the three groups. Results of the present study indicated that inclusion of 25% Moringa oleifera leaf meal in concentrate mixture proved to be superior and improved the growth performance, digestibility of nutrients and carcass traits without any adverse effects on experimental lambs.

Authors: Reddy B. Rupesh Kumar , Reddy K. Hariprasad , Reddy D. Mohan , Sudhakar P. , Reddy B. Ravindra
Published: September 2021

Background: Among the constraints for low yield of mungbean, drought stress and heat stress are prominent. Water deficits and high temperature occur together in many environments and both stresses can interact to reduce yields. Thus, combination of water use efficiency and high temperature tolerance traits are relevant rather than a single trait used as selection criteria for screening appropriate plant ideotype. The present study is contemplated to identify superior parents for yield, yield attributes, water use efficiency and thermo tolerance related traits through combining ability analysis. Methods: Twenty one F1 crosses were generated by crossing seven diverse mungbean genotypes viz., ML 267, LGG 528, MGG 390, WGG 42, AKM 9904, LM 95 and EC 362096 in a 7 x 7 diallel fashion without reciprocals. Further, 21 F1 crosses along with seven parents were evaluated to study the the mean performance of the seven parents and their 21 F1 crosses and combining ability of the parents and crosses and gene action for yield, yield components and water use efficiency related traits. Result: The present investigations confirmed that some of the parents with significant positive gca effects for seed yield per plant and showed significant positive gca effects for one or more yield, WUE and heat stress tolerance contributing traits. Combination of mean performance and gca effects would result in the selection of potential parents with good reservoir of superior genes. The parents which exhibited high per se performance also displayed good general combining ability effects. Hence, per se performance may be used effectively for the selection of parents. In the present study, MGG 390, ML 267 and EC 362096 were adjudged as the best parents based on both mean and gca effects.

Pueblos indígenas y derechos humanos en Honduras en un contexto de anormalidad democrática
Authors: Mejía Rivera Joaquín A.
Published: September 2021

Desde 2009, Honduras vive uma grave crise constitucional que mantém o país numa situação de permanente normalidade democrática, caracterizada, entre outras coisas, por uma deterioração crescente da institucionalidade pública e pela prevalência de um cinismo estrutural que se traduz no fato de que o Estado ratifique a maioria dos tratados internacionais de direitos humanos mas adote leis e práticas contrárias a eles, particularmente quando se trata de impor um modelo de desenvolvimento fundamentado num extrativismo cujas origens remontam ao século XX e que tem um impacto significativo na vida e nos territórios dos povos originários. Como indica o historiador Marvin Barahona, o pano de fundo desta situação é o antagonismo entre o Estado e os povos indígenas como produto do exercício exclusivo do poder pela elite criolla que deu forma às instituições e ao ordenamento jurídico nacional a fim de garantir a imposição de tal modelo. Neste confronto desigual, o Estado e suas instituições se colocam ao lado das empresas, e os povos indígenas resistem valendo-se da reivindicação do poder discursivo de dois relatos políticos à luz dos estándares constitucionais e interamericanos: a soberania popular e a autodeterminação.
As imagens e o silêncio sobre os indígenas a partir dos jornais Blumenauer Zeitung e Der Urwalsbote no contexto do Serviço de Proteção aos Índios (1916-1922)
Authors: Vieira Thiago Kistenmacher
Published: September 2021

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a imagem dos povos indígenas a partir dos jornais blumenauenses Der Urwaldsbote e Blumenauer Zeitung no contexto de criação do Serviço de Proteção aos Índios (SPI), em seus primeiros anos de atuação: 1916 a 1922. Criado em 1918, o SPI foi uma instituição organizada pelo governo federal com o intuito de prestar auxílio aos povos indígenas e integrá-los à sociedade brasileira. Nosso método de pesquisa tratou de coletar notícias transcritas dos jornais supracitados e, posteriormente, discutir as imagens ali encontradas acerca dos povos nativos. A opção da imprensa como fonte se deu em virtude de ela poder ser considerada uma  ferramenta pela qual as sociedades fabricam e transmitem suas escolhas morais, reflexões e representam concepções de sua época. Neste contexto, procuramos entender qual a imagem que aquelas mídias impressas ataram às populações nativas e como ela era discutida.
Por los senderos de la justicia indígena boliviana

Published: September 2021

O exercício do pluralismo jurídico boliviano nas mãos dos povos indígenas demonstrou as contradições do que está estipulado na lei com a prática. A experiência da Amawt’a Marcela Quisbert, principal líder no primeiro processo de Conflito de Competência entre a Jurisdição Camponesa Indígena Original e a Jurisdição Ordinária levantada no Vale do Zongo, é um testemunho dos limites que as autoridades indígenas cruzam na época de exercer seus direitos coletivos no quadro normativo plural. A partir disso, nesta entrevista, pretendemos divulgar este cenário de conflito e as diferentes estratégias de resistência que emergiram das autoridades indígenas, uma vez que foram dirigidas pelas formalidades da Jurisdição Ordinária.
Cosmopolítica indígena nos Andes
Authors: De la Cadena Marisol
Published: September 2021

Na América Latina, a política praticada pelos povos indígenas tem sido classificada como “política étnica”. Seu ativismo é interpretado como uma questão de fazer prevalecer direitos culturais. Mas e se “cultura” for uma noção insuficiente, e até mesmo inadequada, para pensar o desafio que a política indígena representa? Inspirado nos eventos políticos recentes no Peru — e, em menor medida, no Equador e na Bolívia — em que o movimento indígena-popular tem evocado entidades sencientes (montanhas, água e terra — aquilo que chamamos de “natureza”) para o interior da esfera da política pública, o argumento deste ensaio possui três dimensões. Primeiro, a indigeneidade, como uma formação histórica, excede a noção usual de política, isto é, uma arena povoada de seres humanos racionais disputando o poder de representar outros humanos frente ao Estado. Segundo, a atual emergência política da indigeneidade — nos movimentos de oposição antimineração no Peru e no Equador, mas também em eventos comemorativos na Bolívia — desafia a separação entre natureza e cultura que sustenta a noção predominante de política e seu contrato social correspondente. Terceiro, para além da “política étnica”, os movimentos indígenas atuais propõem uma prática política diferente, plural não porque promovida por corpos marcados por gênero, raça, etnicidade ou sexualidade (como o multiculturalismo entenderia), mas porque evocam não humanos como atores na arena política.

Purpose. The purpose of this work is to consider the prospects for the use of jet grouting in urban development. On the example of the considered engineering-geological conditions to show the possibility of wide application of soil-cement elements. Methodology. To consider the main characteristic features of jet grouting, which prevail over traditional geotechnical technologies. To show the possibility of performing soil-cement elements not only in the conditions of strengthening the soil bases, but also in the conditions of anti-filtration elements when performing the protection of ditches. To present the ranges of strength characteristics of soil-cement material for soil conditions of Ukraine. Findings. The type and physical and mechanical properties of soils in which the jet-grouted element is performed will be one of the main factors influencing the geometric size of the elements and the strength of the soil-cement material. Originality. Collected and analyzed strength characteristics of soil-cement material and the presented ranges of their numerical values will allow to use them for future design of jet-routed elements in different soil conditions of Ukraine without the available personal developed practical base. Practical implications. In the progressive rhythm of urban development, the issue of new construction in the immediate vicinity of existing buildings, or the reconstruction of those in disrepair is acute. Due to its features and advantages, the technology of jet cementation allows to solve construction problems where other geotechnologies do not have the opportunity to be applied. Low dynamic impact will allow to perform soil-cement elements at strengthening of buildings and constructions in an emergency condition, low water permeability - to use jet elements as antifiltration, both single, and in joint work with other elements of designs of protection of ditches. Numerical experimental values of the strength of the material obtained by performing jet cementation, will predict the strength characteristics of future soil-cement elements.
DETERMINATION OF THE CHANGE OF THE DESIGN POSITION OF THE PROFILE OF THE BELT CONVEYOR ON THE LOAD OF THE ROLLER BEARINGS

Published: September 2021

The article attempts to establish the basic patterns in the formation of loads in the structure of the conveyor frame due to changes in the design position of the constituent elements based on analytical calculations. The amortization replacement of rollers and the establishment of a change in the projected resource caused the change in the design position.The aim of the work is to study the interaction of the elements of the belt conveyor on the convex region of the profile when the design position changes and to determine the change in the resource of the roller support elements. The purpose of the work is formulated from the analysis of unplanned stops and premature replacement of conveyor elements, in particular conveyor rollers, on the convex region of the profile.To achieve this goal the influence of the geometric parameters of the convex section of the belt conveyor profile on the force interaction of the belt and roller supports was considered, and the change in the resource of the roller bearings was determined.To characterize the geometric parameters of the convex section of the belt conveyor, the following were selected: the number of roller supports, the distance between the roller supports, the radius of curvature of the conveyor profile, the angle of the curved section. The mathematical model is based on the belt equilibrium equation, which contains the tension forces of the conveyor belt and the forces from the action of roller supports. Particular attention is paid to establishing the effect of changing the geometric parameters of the convex section on the roller bearing life. It has been established that a decrease in the radius of the transitional convex section as a result of a change in the initial design position by 2.4 times leads to an increase in the force acting on the roller support by 161%. It was found that the increase in force is the reason for the rapid exit from the operational state of the rolling bearings of the roller bearings, as evidenced by the intensive drop in the resource of the rollers (18 times).The proposed algorithm for determining the main parameters of the force interaction of the elements of the belt conveyor on the convex region of the profile will make it possible to predict the resource and prevent the conveyor from leaving the premature operational state.

Authors: ROMANIUK Valentyn , Andriiuk Olena , Volodchenkova Nataliya
Published: September 2021

Purpose. Violation of the technological mode of operation potentially hazardous objects and high-risk objects, this is caused by joint military operations, it causes a significant increase in the risks of man-made disasters with large-scale negative consequences due to the threat of destruction of such objects.To ensure stable management of natural and man-made safety in these conditions, a structural and logical model of natural and man-made safety management has been developed under different conditions of application of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ensuring minimal risks and threats of emergencies of military-technological origin.Findings. The functioning of the management system for natural and technogenic safety is carried out by the following models:- model of natural and man-made safety management in the area of joint forces operations in a stable mode;- model of natural and man-caused safety management in the area of joint forces operations in the state of emergency of natural or man-made origin;- a model of natural and man-made safety management in the area of joint forces operations in the state of emergency of military-technogenic origin.This regulation should be carried out through specific mechanisms, which include: 1 - legislative and regulatory; 2 - licensed; 3 - economic.Severe disturbance of unstable equilibrium natural and industrial Geosystems, which was formed in the Eastern region, as a result of the accumulation of imbalances in nature management over the years of totalitarianism, with the decline of industrial production due to the armed confrontation, led to the development of catastrophic situations.Practical implications. Rehabilitation of areas at a time when emergencies and disasters have occurred and have been eliminated, should also be carried out by implementing environmental rehabilitation programs of a certain level in accordance with the scale of the latter and projected duration of exposure and their effects on the environment and living conditions of the population.Practical implications. A model of the index-indicator approach has been developed for the further development of a structural and functional model of the mechanism for regulating natural and technogenic safety during emergencies of military and technogenic origin. The model creates the prerequisites for the development of effective procedures for the state management of natural and technogenic safety in emergency situations of military and technogenic origin.

Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Anomaly Detection and Prognostic of Gas Turbines using Uncertainty Quantification with Sensor-Related Data
Authors: Nor Ahmad Kamal Mohd , Pedapati Srinivasa Rao , Muhammad Masdi , Leiva Víctor
Published: September 2021

Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is in its assimilation phase in the prognostic and health management (PHM). The literature on PHM-XAI is deficient with respect to metrics of uncertainty quantification and explanation evaluation. This paper proposes a new method of anomaly detection and prognostic for gas turbines using Bayesian deep learning and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP). The method explains the anomaly detection and prognostic and improves the performance of the prognostic, aspects that have not been considered in the literature of PHM-XAI. The uncertainty measures considered serve to broaden explanation scope and can also be exploited as anomaly indicators. Real-world gas turbine sensor-related data are tested for the anomaly detection, while NASA commercial modular aero-propulsion system simulation data, related to turbofan sensors, were used for prognostic. The generated explanation is evaluated using two metrics: consistency and local accuracy. All anomalies were successfully detected using the uncertainty indicators. Meanwhile, the turbofan prognostic results showed up to 9% improvement in root mean square error and 43% enhancement in early prognostic due to the SHAP, making it comparable to the best existing methods. The XAI and uncertainty quantification offer a comprehensive explanation for assisting decision-making. Additionally, the SHAP ability to increase PHM performance confirms its value in AI-based reliability research.
The Effect of Open Boundaries on the Buoyant Viscoelastic Flow in a Vertical Porous Layer
Authors: Lazzari Stefano , Celli Michele , Barletta Antonio
Published: September 2021

The Oldroyd–B model for a linear viscoelastic fluid is employed to investigate the buoyant flow in a vertical porous layer with permeable boundaries kept at different uniform temperatures. Seepage flow in the viscoelastic fluid saturated porous layer is modelled through an extended version of Darcy’s law taking into account the Oldroyd–B rheology. The basic stationary flow is parallel to the vertical axis and describes a single–cell vertical pattern where the cell has an infinite vertical height. A linear stability analysis of such a basic flow is carried out to determine the onset conditions for a multicellular pattern. The neutral stability curves and the values of the critical Rayleigh number are evaluated numerically for different retardation time and relaxation time characteristics of the fluid.

Authors: Pascual Alexis David , McIsaac Kenneth , Osinski Gordon
Published: September 2021

Autonomous image recognition has numerous potential applications in the field of planetary science and geology. For instance, having the ability to classify images of rocks would allow geologists to have immediate feedback without having to bring back samples to the laboratory. Also, planetary rovers could classify rocks in remote places and even in other planets without needing human intervention. Shu et al. classified 9 different types of rock images using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with the image features extracted autonomously. Through this method, the authors achieved a test accuracy of 96.71%. In this research, Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) have been used to classify the same set of rock images. Results show that a 3-layer network obtains an average accuracy of 99.60% across 10 trials on the test set. A version of Self-taught Learning was also implemented to prove the generalizability of the features extracted by the CNN. Finally, one model has been chosen to be deployed on a mobile device to demonstrate practicality and portability. The deployed model achieves a perfect classification accuracy on the test set, while taking only 0.068 seconds to make a prediction, equivalent to about 14 frames per second.

This research investigates Haifa ports emissions’ contribution to the existing daily emission inventory level in the area. This research based on developed full bottom-up model framework that looks at the single vessel daily voyage through its port call stages. The main data sources for vessels movements used in this research are the Israel Navy`s movements log and Israel Administration of Shipping and Ports’ (ASP) operational vessel movements and cargo log. The Fuel Consumption (FC) data and Sulfur Content (SC) levels are based on an official Israel ASP survey data. Observation years in this research are 2010 - 2018 with focus on the Ocean-Going Vessels (OGV) type only. The results show that the vessel fleet calling at Israel ports is mainly vessels that have a lower engine Tier grade (i.e., Tier 0 and 1) which is considered a heavy contributor to Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) pollutant. The study recommends on an additional cost charged (selective tariff) to reflect the external social cost linked to the single vessel air pollution combined with supportive technological infrastructure and economic incentive tools (e.g. electric subsidy) to attract or influence vessel owners to assign vessels equipped with new engine Tier grades for calls at Israeli ports.
Local Thermal Rates and Gradients in Laser Powder Bed Fusion Metal Additive Manufacturing Method: Computer Simulation
Authors: Hosseinzadeh Hamed
Published: September 2021

The powder bed fusion (PBF) metal additive manufacturing (AM) method uses an energy source like a laser to melt the metal powders. The laser can locally melt the metal powders and creates a solid structure as it moves. The complexity of the heat distribution in laser PBF metal AM is one of the main features that need to be accurately addressed and understood to design and manage an optimized printing process. In this research, the dependency of local thermal rates and gradients on print after solidification (in the heat-affected zone) was numerically simulated and studied to provide information for designing the print process. The simulation results were validated by independent experimental results. The simulation shows that the local thermal rates are higher at higher laser power and scan speed. Also, the local thermal gradients increase if the laser power increases. The effect of scan speed on the thermal gradients is opposite during heating versus cooling times. Increasing the scan speed increases the local thermal gradients in the cooling times and decreases the local thermal gradients during the heating. In addition, these simulation results could be used in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for developing digital additive manufacturing.

Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has recently seen a surge in popularity, with the use of radionuclides conjugated to small molecules and antibodies. Similarly, immunotherapy also has shown promising results – an example being chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells therapy in hematologic malignancies. Moreover, TRT and CAR T therapies possess unique features that require special consideration when determining how to dose, time, and sequence combination treatments, including the distribution of TRT dose in the body, the decay rate of the radionuclide, and the proliferation and persistence of the CAR-T cells. These characteristics complicate additive or synergistic effects of combination therapies and warrant a mathematical treatment which includes these dynamics in relation to the proliferation and clearance rates of the target tumor cells. Here we combine two previously published mathematical models in a multiple myeloma setting to explore the effects of dose, timing, and sequencing of TRT and CAR-T cell based therapies. We find that for a fixed TRT and CAR-T cell dose, the tumor proliferation rate is the most important parameter in determining the best timing of TRT and CAR T therapies.

The aim of this review is to summarize data on the experience of using fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as a method of treating intestinal diseases, in particular in pediatric practice. FMT is the process of transferring fecal material from a healthy donor to the recipient’s gastrointestinal tract in order to alter gut microbial composition. To date, the most amount of research has been conducted in the field of treatment for Clostridium difficile infection. The mortality rate among children with this pathology is 1–5%. Randomized clinical trials show a higher efficacy of FMT compared to the use of antibiotics (efficacy rates of 90% and 26%, respectively) in the treatment for C. difficile infection. The effectiveness of FMT as a treatment for other diseases has been discussed. Cases of the successful use of FMT as a treatment for short bowel syndrome in children have been described, and studies on the effectiveness of this technique in patients with irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel diseases have been conducted. Most studies have been carried out on small samples of patients, and the results vary. The potential of using FMT as a treatment of children with severe bowel diseases is high, which makes it necessary to conduct further research in pediatric practice.

A significant interest in the diagnosis and treatment of orphan diseases, among which inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) constitute a significant part, has been currently increased. For many of them, diet therapy with specialized food products remains the basis of pathogenetic therapy and complex treatment. The expansion of diagnostic capabilities of neonatal and selective screening requires timely guaranteed patients’ provision with specialized therapeutic food products. The article highlights the basic principles of diet therapy for the most common inherited metabolic diseases and the current rules for providing these products to disabled children and patients with IMD who do not have the status of “children with disabilities”.

The WHO End TB Strategy for 2016–2035 aimed at elimination of tuberculosis makes the search for new criteria for assessing the effectiveness of anti-tuberculosis measures highly relevant. According to the literature, insufficient attention is paid to the rehabilitation of children infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) in special kindergartens. Objective. To assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation in special kindergartens for children infected with MBT. Patients and methods. We analyzed anthropometric data, parameters of adaptive potential (AP), frequency and duration of respiratory infections, dynamics of sensitivity to tuberculin in response to preventive measures in children who attended special kindergartens for rehabilitation (n = 28) and regular kindergartens (n = 29). Results. Children attending special kindergartens for rehabilitation demonstrated greater increase in their height (from 108.93 ± ± 2.05 cm to 113.36 ± 2,04 cm; р = 0.000), significantly lower increase of the AP (0.08 ± 0.01 and 0.16 ± 0.02; р = 0.04), fewer days missed due to acute respiratory infections (ARIs) (11.57 ± 1.44 and 17.00 ± 1.73; р = 0.020), and fewer ARI episodes (1.75 ± 0.18 and 2.66 ± 0.27; р = 0.007). Conclusion. Our findings suggest high effectiveness of special kindergartens for the rehabilitation of children with MBT infection. In addition to generally accepted tuberculin skin tests, we recommend the assessment of AP dynamics in children with MBT infection in order to evaluate the efficiency of preventive measures.
