Authors:   National Transport University, Gameliak Igor , Kharchenko Anna ,   National Transport University
Published: February 2025

The development of an algorithm for recognition of defects in cement concrete pavements of critical infrastructure facilities will contribute to a quick and accurate assessment of the condition of the facilities, which is a very important element in the management of the transport network in modern conditions. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the basis of an algorithm for cement concrete pavements defect recognition development of critical infrastructure objects. Solving such research tasks entails: systematization of achievements in the direction of recognizing defects in cement concrete coatings; identification of a number of problems encountered by other researchers and proposed solutions; systematization of methods for detecting cracks using machine learning; development of a sequence for analyzing images of damage to concrete elements of critical infrastructure objects; development of a research algorithm for building a methodology for recognizing defects; definition of tasks for future research. Methodology of the research is based on the methods of analysis and synthesis, systematization of achievements of theory and practice, systems analysis, mathematical modeling, programming. Results of the research define a clear algorithm that will allow in the future to develop appropriate software for recognizing defects in cement concrete pavements of critical infrastructure facilities using machine learning tools. This algorithm consists of six main stages that sequentially solve the problems of laborious processing of field data, defect classification, damage identification, and data calibration. It is proposed to use Deep Neural Network technologies to solve these problems. To evaluate the defect recognition performance, the harmonic F1 score is proposed, which is a key evaluation metric of a machine learning model. Since the data set on defects in cement-concrete elements of infrastructure structures is quite diverse, it is proposed to use the “one against all” method to calculate the F1 indicator, which will allow calculating individual indicators for each type of defect separately, with arithmetic averaging of the F1 estimate as a whole according to the algorithm. It is proposed to calibrate the machine learning algorithm taking into account the detected errors and the F1 score according to the priority of one of the scores that form the F1 indicator - reliability or recall. Thus, it was determined that the next stages of the research will be the development of an effective image segmentation model, which will be based on the application of machine learning (artificial intelligence) tools using the proposed algorithm.

Stimulus-evoked brain activity exhibits inadequate understanding among researchers regarding its relationship to abnormal neural variability in depressive disorder. The research develops a modern computational system which evaluates trial-by-trial variability in transcranial magnetic stimulation-evoked EEG signals to analyse neurophysiological dysfunction in depressive disorder. TMS-EEG measurements came from 40 participants with depressive disorder and 40 neurotypical controls (HC). This maximum eigenvalue analysis of real binary correlation matrix enhanced by cross-correlation models generated surrogate results which yielded 92.8% accuracy in characterizing DE and HC subjects with sensitivity at 91.5% and specificity at 94.2%. The analysis found DE patients had substantially less TTV during Gamma band conditions while showing higher TTV within Delta band ranges compared to healthy control participants. TMS-EEG data showed that HAMD-17 scores correlated negatively with the Gamma-band TTV measure which establishes potential clinical usage as a depression severity indicator. This research establishes foundational knowledge about using TTV to detect depression-linked neural activities through TMS-EEG data processing while introducing a precise identification method. This research establishes foundations which will guide future investigations aimed at identifying diagnostic biomarkers along with neuromodulation techniques for the treatment of depressive disorders.

Preoperative evaluation plays a crucial role in surgical patient safety, functioning as a systematic process to identify risks, optimize clinical conditions, and reduce perioperative complications. Surgery, as an invasive intervention, imposes significant physiological challenges, which vary according to individual factors such as age, comorbidities, and the type of procedure to be performed. The objective of this study is to identify the main postoperative complications in general surgery and analyze effective management strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve clinical outcomes. This study is a narrative literature review, aiming to identify and analyze the main postoperative complications in general surgery and the most effective management strategies. The review was conducted by searching and analyzing scientific articles published in the last 5 years (2020-2024), in English and Portuguese. Postoperative complications in general surgery can be severe and require proper management to prevent and treat risks. Among the most common complications are surgical site infection (SSI), which occurs due to the introduction of microorganisms at the incision site, being prevented with antibiotic prophylaxis and treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and drainage, if necessary. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism are common after major surgeries and are prevented with anticoagulants and early mobilization, treated with anticoagulants and, in severe cases, thrombolytics. In summary, continuous monitoring and proactive management are essential to reduce mortality and improve patients’ quality of life in the postoperative period, emphasizing the importance of an interdisciplinary and adaptive approach in surgical care.

Published: February 2025

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among gynecological neoplasm due to its high proliferation rate and invasive ability. This elevated proliferation rate correlates with increased glycolytic activity, a mechanism also utilized by CD8+ T cells, which serves as the body’s primary line of defense against cancer. Elevated glycolysis in ovarian cancer cells is primarily due to PIK3CA mutation, one of the most frequently mutated genes in ovarian cancer. Other mutations contributing to elevated glycolysis include FOXM1, SIK2, and PTGES3, all of which lead to increased glucose uptake and upregulation of glycolytic enzyme expression. CD8+ T cell activation results in metabolic reprogramming that enhances glycolytic activity, which is important for maintaining their effector functions. In the scarcity of glucose, GAPDH enzyme binds to IFN-g mRNA, inhibiting its translation. Lactate accumulation in tumor microenvironment decreases granzyme secretion and inhibits proliferation and infiltration of effector CD8+ T cells. Similar metabolic profiles between ovarian cancer cells and effector CD8+ T cells result in nutrient deficiency and accumulation of lactate in tumor microenvironment, which leads to effector CD8+ T cells’ dysfunction, thereby contributing to immune escape. Intervention in T cell metabolic reprogramming may present opportunity to improve their cytotoxicity toward cancer cells.

AI is increasingly being used in drilling operations, redefining efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety within the oil and gas industry. Traditional drilling operations are usually plagued by inefficiencies, high NPT, and suboptimal well placement due to over-reliance on manual decisions and conventional geological interpretation. AI-driven automation uses machine learning, IoT devices, real-time data analytics, and predictive maintenance to provide improved drilling precision, better placement of wells, and reduced operational risks. Industry leaders have shown that the gains in efficiency are huge; Chevron recorded a 30% increase in drilling speed, with a corresponding 25% reduction in operational costs, resulting from AI-driven automated drilling. Shell reported 130% gains in drilling efficiency due to AI-enhanced optimization models. BP and ExxonMobil implemented AI predictive maintenance, realizing a 20% reduction in maintenance costs, with a resulting 15% increase in equipment uptime. Saudi Aramco optimized well placement, leading to a 35% increase in production and reduced drilling time. This review critically assesses such AI applications in drilling automation with regard to operational efficiency, cost reduction, and sustainability. While a game-changing technology, several barriers to widespread diffusion exist: integration of data, which is highly complex; costs of implementation, which are relatively high; and skilled people are required. The ability to remove these barriers through technological development and strategic collaboration by the industry will be key in maximizing the full benefits of AI in drilling automation.

Published: February 2025

The tendency of increasing industrial and population activities in the city of Bandung causes a decrease in air quality. One material that causes air pollution which is very dangerous for health is particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5). Efforts to control and overcome PM2.5 concentration are carried out through measurements in several locations. However, due to limitations of measuring devices and costs, so not all locations in the city of Bandung can be measured PM2.5 concentration. PM2.5 concentration data tends not to be stationary. Therefore it is necessary to interpolate the PM2.5 concentration data using the Universal Kriging method. In this paper, the Universal Kriging method can be applied to predict PM2.5 concentrations in locations that are not sampled because the observed PM2.5 concentration data are spatial data that have different PM2.5 concentrations at each location. Data were analyzed with the help of software R 3.5.3 and ArcGIS 10.4 to create contour maps. Based on the prediction results of PM2.5 concentrations at locations that were not sampled, obtained a first order trend equation is better used to predict PM2.5 concentrations because it has a minimum Universal Kriging error variance value compared to the second order trend equation. The results showed that the location with high PM2.5 concentration was in the northwest of Bandung City. Contour maps show locations that have low to high PM2.5 concentrations

Mindfulness meditation in various spiritual traditions
Authors: Kukharenko Sergei Vladimirovich
Published: February 2025

The aim of the research is to analyze the characteristics of the state of mindfulness in various spiritual traditions. The article examines the description of the state of mindfulness in various spiritual movements, primarily Buddhist ones. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of various terms existing in different religious movements to denote the state of mindfulness. The characteristics accompanying the state of mindfulness, described in various spiritual traditions, including higher clarity of perception, the absence of identification of the practitioner's awareness with the stream of consciousness, and the states of bliss and tranquility experienced by practitioners, are examined in detail. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that it considers the state of mindfulness not only in the Buddhist tradition, but also in several other spiritual movements. The role of mindfulness meditation in Western society is analyzed. As a result of the research, several key characteristics accompanying the state of mindfulness were identified. It was established that mindfulness is an existing state of consciousness that people of different ethnicities and cultures have entered for several millennia. This state of consciousness has received the highest praise in Buddhist movements, but the same state is described from their own experience by Russian philosophers, Western spiritual speakers, secular practitioners of lucid dreaming, and scientists. In recent years, the development of mindfulness has entered the paradigm of the development of spirituality in Western civilization, and there is a tendency to separate the development of mindfulness in the West from the cultural and religious component.
Features of motivic development in Marilyn Shrude’s trio “Notturno: In Memoriam Tōru Takemitsu”
Authors: Anuchin Artem Maximovich
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this article is to describe the features of motivic development in the trio “Notturno: In Memoriam Tōru Takemitsu”, written by the American composer Marilyn Shrude for violin, alto saxophone, and piano. The article demonstrates that the motivic development is based on a germ motif taken from Tōru Takemitsu’s “sea” theme. Based on the analysis of the musical score, the study demonstrates the use of tritones, major sevenths, and trichords to enhance dissonance and create atonality. In addition, the use of wide intervals – fifths, sixths, sevenths, octaves, tenths – is revealed as a means of creating the illusion of sound in large, resonating spaces. The composer also uses extremely low piano sounds to create resonance. The results demonstrate the presence of the main techniques of motivic development characteristic of Marilyn Shrude’s chamber instrumental works. It is shown that the germ motif is a unifying element throughout the entire composition. Furthermore, unity is created through the constant repetition of trichords, the use of long phrases formed by the insertion of additional sounds to these trichords, and melodic development. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that this well-known composition by M. Shrude is being studied for the first time in Russia, as a result of which the application of a germ motif for motivic development – a distinctive feature of her compositional style – is demonstrated.

Authors: Smirnova Anastasia Victorovna
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to present the results of an experimental investigation aimed at examining the characteristics of the development of basic properties of visual perception and cognitive abilities in primary school children with mild intellectual disability (MID), in order to subsequently identify effective pedagogical tools for developing visual perception and cognitive abilities in these children. The article provides a brief analysis of scientific literature on the topic, confirming its relevance, and outlines the sequence of diagnostic procedures. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the discovery of a covariance between the quantity and specificity of errors in the examination of basic properties of visual perception and the quantity and specificity of errors in the examination of cognitive processes, which suggests a mutual dependence between the basic properties of visual perception and cognitive abilities in primary school children with MID. Based on the results of the study, three levels of development of the basic properties of visual perception (constancy, integrity, meaningfulness, imagery) in primary school children with MID were identified: low, medium, and high. Three levels of success in completing age-appropriate cognitive tasks were also revealed: low, medium, and high. Furthermore, the characteristic cognitive errors and their quantity for each level of visual perception were determined. Types and specificity of cognitive tasks corresponding to the basic properties of visual perception were discovered. The relevance of searching for pedagogical tools for developing visual perception and the feasibility of using cognitive tasks in the development of basic properties of visual perception were confirmed.

Authors: Vinogardova Evgeniya Igorevna
Published: February 2025

The purpose of the study is to elaborate a psychological and pedagogical approach to designing children's rooms as a developing environment for younger preschoolers. The article describes the psychological characteristics of younger preschoolers: the child's need for autonomy and independence; emphasis on psychomotor and psychosensory development; play as a leading type of activity; the formation of a child's self-esteem. It is shown how these psychological features must be taken into account when designing children's rooms. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the working out of an approach to the design of home children's rooms for younger preschoolers as a developing environment based on the consideration of the psychological characteristics of children of this age. As a result of the study, four groups of recommendations were formulated for the creation of home children's rooms: safety, physical accessibility, zoning of the premises, and individualization. An algorithm for the development of functional zoning and subject-spatial content of children's rooms as a developing educational environment for younger preschoolers was presented. Examples of home nursery plans are given, taking into account the suggested recommendations. The psychological and pedagogical approach to designing home children's rooms contributes to the development and education of younger preschoolers.

Published: February 2025

The article examines the phraseological features of the Adyghe language as a reflection of the culture and mentality of the people. The purpose of the research is to determine the semantic features of the lexeme-somatism “Iэ” (hand) as a component of phraseological units in the Adyghe language. The authors emphasize the importance of studying the national and cultural component of the Adyghe language, which is clearly and distinctly reflected in phraseology. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the somatic phraseology of the Adyghe language, including phraseological units with the somatic component “Iэ”, characterizing different states and human actions, is poorly studied. For the first time, some features of the functioning of the lexeme-somatism “Iэ” as part of phraseological units denoting a different human condition and its external manifestation were identified and described. Phraseological units with the somatism “Iэ” and their variants existing in the language and speech of the Adyghe, not included in the dictionary of phraseological units of the Adyghe language, were identified and studied. The article considers these phraseological units in different meanings. The results of the study allowed us to classify Adyghe phraseological units with the somatism “Iэ” into semantic groups. We have identified six groups of phraseological units with the somatic component “Iэ”, conveying the national color and way of life of the people, their worldview. As a result of the analysis, groups of phraseological units with this component with both positive and negative meanings were also identified.

Authors: Dolgopolova Liliya Anatol’evna , Mustafaeva Alie Hairedinovna
Published: February 2025

The aim of the study is to identify the functional characteristics of proper names (onyms) in the creolized texts of Der Spiegel Magazine during its initial phase of establishment, from 1946 to 1948. The article examines the features of creolized texts, which includes verbal and non-verbal components. The main functions and types of onyms in the creolized texts of Der Spiegel Magazine during its establishment period are identified. It is revealed that only photographs were used as the non-verbal component of the creolized texts of Der Spiegel Magazine from 1946 to 1948. Special attention is paid to the structural-semantic features of onyms, the specifics of their use in the main and auxiliary texts. A relationship was found between onyms and the non-verbal component of the cover, and the emergence of additional functions of onyms depending on their location and the nature of the non-verbal component. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the selection of the research material and the identification of the relationship between verbal and non-verbal components with the cultural and social conditions of post-war Germany. The study found a lack of functional and structural-semantic diversity of onyms, which generally corresponded to the socio-historical conditions of Germany from 1946 to 1948.
Producing the effect of language play in the lyrics of Stromae’s album “Multitude” on Russian-speaking listeners: A translational aspect
Authors: Borisova Polina Andreevna , Ivanova Svetlana Anatolyevna
Published: February 2025

The study aims to identify the specific characteristics of conveying language play in song lyrics when translating from French to Russian. The article examines the phenomenon of language play as a marker of linguo-creative thinking, presents potential techniques of language play at the phonological (phonetic), morphological, lexical, and syntactic levels of the language system. The work describes song discourse translation as a type of literary translation in its poetic form (poetic translation) and in its prose form (philological translation). The authors analyze language play in the lyrics of a specific musical artist and performer (Stromae – the stage pseudonym of the poet-songwriter and singer Paul van Haver, a native speaker of Belgian French), as well as the communicative effect it produces on Russian-speaking listeners in existing translations of authentic compositions. The study is novel in that it is the first one to describe translation solutions that contribute to preserving the effect of language play as a means of expressing the author’s linguistic creativity in the lyrics of contemporary French-language songs when translated into Russian. As a result, the study has identified language play techniques at different linguistic levels in the lyrics of Paul van Haver’s album “Multitude” (released in 2022), reflecting his individual style. The work shows the dependence of the choice of translational transformations in Russian translations on the language play techniques used in the original, notes cases of loss or distortion of the components of language play in the translation of the original text. The preferable application of philological translation for reproducing the semantic and aesthetic components of the original language play in translation is noted.

The aim of the study is to identify similarities and differences in the representation of the informativeness category in the sports publicistic discourse on the material of the English and Chinese languages. The scientific novelty of the research consists in identifying the correlations between factual, content-conceptual and implicative information, in accordance with I. R. Galperin’s approach. The study found that the largest share belongs to the content-conceptual information with the elements of evaluative and figurative linguistic devices; the second most frequent group embraces information containing facts (proper names, numerical data), and the smallest group includes linguistic means with the implicative information. The differences include a higher degree of personification and citation in the English headings; while the Chinese headings contain a more prominent number of toponyms, numerical data, and are characterized by a more positive implicative meaning. The obtained correlations testify to the linguistic peculiarities of news composition and information presentation in different linguocultures.
Case forms as a means of expressing intrasyntactic time in the Mari language

The aim of the study is to identify the grammatical features of intrasyntactic time in the Mari language, the means of expressing which are case forms. The article examines case forms in combination with verb forms, which allow for a more detailed indication of syntactic time in a sentence and reveal its essence. The author points out that when studying the category of predicativity, syntactic temporality, and modality, these forms play a huge role in revealing the category of intrasyntactic time. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that in the Mari language, case forms as a means of expressing intrasyntactic time are described and systematized for the first time. Furthermore, at present, no special works have been conducted on the study of syntactic time and the means of its expression in the Mari language. The research found that in the Mari language, case forms are a means of expressing intrasyntactic time within the framework of the study of the category of syntactic temporality. The results obtained showed that the previously unexamined category of intrasyntactic time has its own peculiarities due to the case system of the Mari language, which includes subject-object and locative cases, as well as vocabulary that in most cases is used with the semantics of time.
Foreign-language borrowings as a way of forming the lexicon of the German railway sociolect

The aim of the research is to identify the peculiarities of the process of lexical borrowing from other languages by the German railway sociolect, both in diachronic and synchronic aspects. The article investigates the sources of foreign-language borrowings, the history of the development of their terminological sememes, the nature of their form, and certain features of assimilation. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that, for the first time, the types, forms, and sources of foreign-language borrowings in the German railway sociolect have been identified and described, as well as the peculiarities of their linguistic assimilation. The work has established that the German railway terminology contains not only actual borrowings (material, semantic, structural-semantic), but also so-called pseudo-borrowings, i.e., composite formations made up of borrowed elements. Many foreign-language borrowings in this sociolect tend to Germanize through both assimilation and their replacement with analogues formed from German elements, which leads to the obsolescence of these borrowed lexemes. It is assumed that this trend will continue, and certain Anglicisms and pseudo-Anglicisms will eventually be displaced by German equivalents.

The focus of my paper is the discussion about “pianistic schools”. The pianist Moriz Rosenthal, who was born in Lemberg, is particularly suitable for this discussion, as on the one hand he reflected on this topic himself (in his essay “The Old and the New School of Piano Playing”) and on the other hand through his biography which rises the discussion to what pianistic “school/s” he belongs to.
This leads to fundamental questions: To what extent can a musician, despite his personal style, be assigned to a school? How can musical schools or national schools be defined in the instrumental area? Do these depend on the artist's national affiliation?

The relevance of this topic: technological and artistic features of wood firing significantly impact the final result of a ceramic product. Comparative analysis allows to explore these differences and adapt technological approaches according to the needs of contemporary artists. Comparing traditional and modern techniques allows you to understand how to preserve cultural heritage and introduce new ideas into artistic practice. The purpose of this article is to investigate and compare the technological and artistic aspects of wood-fired ceramic art. The main tasks are the analysis of techniques, materials and aesthetic characteristics, as well as the determination of the effectiveness of wood firing in the creation of art products.
Research methods include visual analysis, comparative analysis, overview of used sources. Visual analysis provides an overview of ceramic products with the aim of identifying the main techniques and aesthetic characteristics of wood-fired ceramics, establishing the influence of technological aspects on the aesthetic characteristics of ceramic products. Comparative analysis allows us to compare traditional and modern methods of wood firing in different cultures. The overview of used sourses includes the analysis of scientific works, articles devoted to the topic of wood-fired ceramics.
Conclusions and prospects for further research. Despite all the advantages of wood firing, there are also certain challenges. It is a time-consuming process that requires significant resources, time and experience. Controlling the temperature and firing conditions is a complex task that requires a high degree of skill. However, modern technologies allow combining traditional methods with the latest advances in temperature and air flow control, which opens up new perspectives for the development of this technique.
Wood firing of ceramics is a unique technology that combines centuries-old traditions, natural materials and modern technical achievements. Its technological and artistic aspects make this process attractive to craftsmen who seek to create unique, durable and aesthetically impressive products. Wood firing technology continues to develop, and its possibilities open new horizons for modern ceramic art.
