Materials and methods. The study involved 58 patients with cholelithiasis: 56.9% – with stones and 43.1% – with biliary sludge; women – 60.3%, men – 39.7%, the average age of the examined was 60.5±11.6 years. The asymptomatic course was in 46.6% of patients, and the pain syndrome was registered in 53.4%. The diagnosis was verified based on the results of ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs, the X-ray transparency of the concretions was confirmed by X-ray examination and computed tomography. Single stones were found in 63.6% of the patient and double stones in 36.4% of patients. The size of the concretions was 7.71±4.15 mm (3–15 mm). All patients had from 3 to 5 signs of metabolic syndrome. Patients took UDCA at a dose of 10–13 mg / kg for 6–24 months.
Results. There was a positive clinical picture in most patients. Biliary sludge ceased to be detected in all patients after 3–6 months, concretions less than 5 mm – after 6 months. Larger stones of 5–10 mm completely dissolved after 12 months, in 4 patients with stones of 14–15 mm, after 18–24 months, the concretions decreased to 5–7 mm.
Conclusion. UDCA at a dose of 10–13 mg/kg had a 100-percent effect on the dissolution of biliary sludge after 3–6 months and 79.3% result – with respect to the dissolution of concretions within 12–24 months. In parallel, UDCA demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect, decreased inflammatory markers and decreased endotoxin levels in the blood, as well as improved glucose and lipid metabolism.

Conclusion. During the Advisory board the consensus has been reached for matters of efficacy and safety of probiotics, along with importance of evidence evaluation of each medicine, as well as the need for careful and thorough assessment of quality for probiotic supplements.
Using Council Valuation Records to Estimate Auckland’s housing stock
Authors: Jones James Allan , Greenaway-McGrevy Ryan , Crow Chris
Published: February 2025

New Zealand lacks timely estimates of its total and regional dwelling stocks. Such estimates would be useful for evaluating various policies to encourage housing supply. To address this deficiency, we propose and implement a method for estimating Auckland’s dwelling stock based on its district valuation roll (DVR). The district valuation roll is an administrative dataset maintained by all local councils for the purpose of levying property taxes. The estimates imply that there were 609,055 dwellings in Auckland as of August 2024, an increase of about 91,000 units – or 18% – since the Auckland Unitary Plan became operative in November 2016. We anticipate that DVR-based estimates can be constructed for other regions.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates emerging concepts for defining and categorizing topological spaces based on various features. Paralindelöf spaces are one such idea that is required to understand the compactness and covering features of topological spaces. This study is the first to introduce D-paralindelöf spaces, a novel type of topological space defined combining D-sets and paralindelöf spaces. The study's goal is to offer precise definitions for paralindelöf spaces and D-paralindelöf spaces, while also investigating their properties and linkages with other forms of topological spaces. The study contains various theoretical conclusions, definitions, and features that are rigorously proven by extending previous theorems on paralindelöf spaces. It is further backed by extensive illustrative examples.
A Computational Approach towards Fragment Based Drug Design and Analysis Using G = (V, E) Decomposition
Authors: Sivasankari M. , Yamuna M.
Published: February 2025

Objectives: To develop an efficient algorithm for decomposing arbitrary graphs into circuits and paths, thereby enabling a more comprehensive analysis of molecules for fragment-based drug design. Methods: We have devised Algorithm GD for decomposing any graph into its constituent circuits and paths. A MATLAB implementation of this algorithm was developed to generate the necessary outputs. Algorithm GD was applied to identify nonoverlapping fragments within drug molecules. Results: The MATLAB code’s performance was evaluated in terms of sample outputs and runtime calculations. Algorithm GD was successfully employed to determine the non-overlapping fragments of fungicides. Subsequently, the Wiener Index of these fragments was calculated. Conclusion: A regression equation was established between the graph Wiener Index estimated from non-overlapping fragments and log KOC values. This model can be utilized to predict the log KOC values of fungicides without the need for experimental setups, thereby streamlining the drug discovery process.
METHODOLOGY FOR FORMING A HIGH-SPEED IMITATOR-RESISTANT CIPHER FOR MULTI-ALPHABET SUBSTITUTION
Authors: Korniiets Viktor , Zhdanova Yuliia
Published: February 2025

The article considers the problems and tasks of forming requirements for the construction of a high-speed imitation-resistant multi-alphabet substitution cipher based on the principles of rotary systems, which is relevant in terms of ensuring cybersecurity of critical infrastructure facilities with an increased risk of disruption of stable operation. The ontological model of the functional security entities of automated process control systems (APCS) at critical infrastructure facilities (CIF) is analysed. It is determined that the tools for improving functional security in this case should be measures and means of cyber defence aimed at preventing the implementation of threats of interception, analysis and imitation of critical technological information and ensuring the adjustment of the chosen security policy. It is emphasised that an important component of the functional security of systems and complexes of critical infrastructure facilities is the protection of critical technological information during its transmission via public communication channels. An effective mechanism for counteracting these threats is the use of a multi-alphabet substitution cipher, for which purpose a corresponding model is proposed, based on the mathematical principles of constructing rotary encryption systems, which, within the framework of the model, are devoid of their inherent vulnerabilities. The model provides a two-stage transformation of open data using data from a pseudorandom sequence generator, which is a modified model of the A5/1 algorithm that has the necessary functional and cryptographic characteristics. The considered factors of ensuring the cryptographic security of the proposed model allowed us to reasonably propose a high-speed solution for calculating the message authentication code directly in the encryption process.

SOCIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE RESEARCH OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Abbasova Kyzylgul Yasin
Published: February 2025

Pragmatic aspects of discourse are the most developing basis of the language system of each active language in modern society. The complication of social relations directly affects the linguistic behavior of people, including the nature of the use of discourses. Research shows that the possibilities of political discourse are most often used. Analysis of the political discourse of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the formation of the post-Soviet space shows that people's consciousness was influenced from different positions: from the point of view of the defenders of Soviet ideology, from the point of view of the revival of the Azerbaijani national democratic intelligentsia, new national identity. An analysis of individual samples of the press, reflecting the new mentality of people, showed that the main content of the discourses here is the identification of new facts of distortion of the history of the country and the people, the definition of new cognitive directions for the formation of public opinion, the worldview of people in general. The process of socialization is underway, the formation of a new personality, with its own ideas about history and modernity. When creating and perceiving discourse, it is important to take into account such aspects of the pragmatic factor as national culture with its stereotypes and archetypes. In addition, new associations and connections in consciousness reflect the content of the discourse, and dynamism is determined precisely by the pragmatic aspects that shape the discourse itself. The conditions and circumstances of these aspects in the studied discourse samples are associated with the growing tension in Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, which ended in a long-term conflict, the military component of which ended only in the fall of 2020. As usual, the discourse is built on a certain concept.

THE USE OF OPERATIONAL METHODS BY THE STATE SECURITY COMMITTEE (KGB) FOR REPRESSION AGAINST THE UKRAINIAN DISSIDENT MOVEMENT IN THE MID-1970S
Authors: Paska Bohdan
Published: February 2025

The article analyzes the extrajudicial informal methods of the State Security Committee`s (KGB) struggle against Ukrainian dissidents after the “second wave of arrests” in the mid-1970s. The following secret methods are distinguished: the use of fictitious agents, operational control over the behavior of dissidents, their compromising to like-minded people, the use of external surveillance services, covert searches, auditory control of premises, video equipment and hidden microphones. The author concludes that the use of informal methods by KGB officers has had a significant impact on reducing the intensification of the Sixties human rights movement. Numerous KGB agents, who were recruited in the dissidents` close circle, played an important role in the processes of gathering information about dissidents and operational control over their behavior. As a result of moral pressure from KGB officers, some dissidents were forced to speak in the press condemning their views, which was later used by the system to discredit the dissident movement and its individual members. Almost complete control over the personal life and activities of the objects of the “Block” case was carried out due to the frequent use of “letter measures” – the service of external surveillance, covert searches, auditory control of premises, the use of hidden microphones and video equipment.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to evaluate the effect of nutrient types on the stability and quality of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) yields in the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) hydroponic system with different planting times. The research was conducted at PJ Fresh Hydroponic, Malang, East Java, Indonesia from July to October 2024, using a split plot group randomized design in time. The main factor was planting time (July-August and September-October) and the subplot factor was nutrient type (AB Mix Kryptonium and AB Mix Supernova). Observational variables included fresh weight, plant height, leaf thickness, chlorophyll content, light intensity, and others. Results showed that July-August planting time produced the highest fresh weight (230.03 grams) compared to September-October (182.50 grams), with better leaf area, leaf thickness, and light intensity. AB Mix Kryptonium nutrition gave the highest fresh weight (223.25 grams) and best plant height (19.16 cm) compared to AB Mix Supernova. However, AB Mix Supernova produced higher leaf thickness and chlorophyll content. The interaction between planting time and nutrient type did not have a significant effect on the observation variables. This study concludes that the combination of July-August planting time and AB Mix Kryptonium nutrition is optimal for high quality lettuce yields.

Spectral measurements of a niobium Josephson junction arrays with overwavelength dimensions have been performed using a heterodyne receiver with a mixer based on a high-Tc bicrystal transition. The array is fabricated on a silicon substrate and is composed from 9996 series connected Nb/NbSi/Nb junctions embedded to parallel single-strip lines with the length 7.1 mm. The mixer in the receiver is a Josephson junction formed by a YBaCuO film on a bicrystal boundary of Zr1−xYxO2 substrate. Spectral measurements have been performed in the frequency ranges 150-180 GHz and 225-250 GHz. The aim of the work was the investigation of the influence to the spectral line from some factors of external electrical circuit: the type of power supply and the level of technical noises. Significant decrease of the linewidth from ~ 10 MHz to 0.5-0.8 MHz has been found at the connection of the array to voltage source instead of current source and at the minimizing of technical noises. The shift of spectral frequency from the Josephson one averaged over the array has been observed that is explained by the peculiarities of synchronization of Josephson junctions in large arrays.

Abstract
Character education plays an important role in shaping a young generation that is not only technically competent, but also has high integrity. In Vocational High Schools (SMK), the conventional discipline approach based on punishment often triggers negative impacts, such as low motivation to learn and less harmonious relationships between teachers and students. This is a serious challenge for education. As an alternative, the positive discipline approach offers a more effective solution by focusing on coaching, rewarding good behavior, and applying educational consequences. This research uses a literature study method and a qualitative descriptive design to explore the application of positive discipline and its impact on students' character transformation. The results show that this approach can increase students' responsibility, empathy, and cooperation, create a conducive learning environment, and improve the relationship between teachers and students. However, effective implementation requires teacher training and time for optimal results. With support from schools, teachers and parents, positive discipline can produce SMK graduates who are not only skilled, but also have high morality and work ethics. These findings provide important insights for the development of character education strategies in SMK.
