Authors:   Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev, Kapustin S. V.
Published: March 2023

On the basis of versatile source materials, the author examines the problem of the preservation of the Roman Catholic and Protestant faith among the German colonists of Bessarabia in the 19th – early 20th centuries. The author comes to the conclusion that religious specificity, along with the German language, contributed to the preservation of their ethnic identity in the conditions of a different ethnic environment. Attention is drawn to how, under the influence of the German colonists, Protestant views in the form of Stundism (Baptism) became widespread among those professing Orthodoxy. The author focuses on the fact that for a long time, almost until the reforms of the 70s. XIX century, the Russian government was very loyal to the heterodoxy among the German colonists, which to a large extent contributed to the preservation of their ethno-confessional identity and isolation.

Cognitive abilities are the tool that allows a person to correctly perceive information and is also intended for decision-making. Cognitive abilities are memory, thinking, imagination, attention, consciousness, speech, intelligence. We have investigated the protective mechanisms of the psyche that cannot go beyond the scope of cognitive abilities. Once at an unattainable level, the brain during evolutionary development has adapted in various ways to close the missing resources in the study of the environment. Inaccessibility in theoretical research is considered from different angles, thereby expanding knowledge of the human nature of the psyche.

Urbanization as a factor of psychological need for private space (review of foreign studies)
Authors:   Omsk Dostoyevsky State University, Chesnokova L.V.
Published: March 2023

The purpose of the article is to describe the changes that have occurred in the psychology of the individual in European societies of Modern times as a result of the process of urbanization. The subject of the study are the works of foreign authors on this issue. As a methodology is used a systematic approach, which allows analyzing and combining individual aspects of the phenomenon under study, as well as methods of logical and historical analysis. It is noted that along with the development of cities, there is a need for a private space closed from prying eyes. As a result of forced communication with a lot of unfamiliar people, stress and cognitive overload, a person needs to have a physical and psychological distance with other people. The peculiarities of an urbanized society have brought to life the need for a private space that ensures the physical, local and information security of the individual. Anonymity and social correctness (civility) make it possible to avoid many social conflicts.

The subject of the study is transformation trends of HR processes in the context of a pandemic and the transition to remote work. The purpose of the study is to determine the main trends and prospects for the development of HR processes in the conditions of remote employment in one of the Russian regions. The relevance of the study is due to the serious challenges in the field of personnel management that organizations faced in the context of the pandemic and the forced mass introduction of remote work for the staff. The scientific novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive approach to the analysis of the transformation of all major HR processes in the context of remote employment, taking into account regional specifics. Research methods include analysis, synthesis, and systematization. An empirical study in the form of an expert survey was conducted in 2021 in the Novosibirsk Region, 138 experts were interviewed, representing organizations of all types of economic activity. In the course of the study, the authors obtained the following results: a trend to increase the importance of most HR processes, the predominant implementation of HR processes in a mixed (hybrid) format, and the intensification of automation processes in the personnel management system were revealed. There has been a trend towards an increase in the labor intensity of HR processes, as well as a change in the competencies of HR specialists in demand. The authors conclude that the importance of personnel management in organizations of the Novosibirsk region, the development of new tools, and the automation of HR processes are increasing. At the same time, certain regional aspects are noted, which consist in the lack of mass introduction of the most modern and effective tools for implementing HR processes.

RELIABILITY OF OCCUPATIONAL MORBIDITY ACCOUNTING IN RUSSIA: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Authors:   Center for Human Development, Institute of Economics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia, Kubishin E.S.
Published: March 2023

The object of the study is occupational morbidity. The purpose of the paper is to assess the completeness and reliability of official information on occupational morbidity in Russia and to identify existing problems in this area. The research methods include statistical and comparative analysis of domestic and foreign statistics, scientific literature, and Internet sources. One of the most important results of the study is an array of new scientific and statistical data, which serve as additional evidence that the incompleteness of official data on occupational morbidity in Russia that has persisted for a number of years does not allow us to identify its real extent and develop effective measures to reduce it. It has been established that the country retains a high proportion of people working in harmful and dangerous conditions, which in recent years include healthcare. There is a lack of interest in revealing the real picture of occupational morbidity both on the part of employers and employees, medical organizations, and even control and supervisory authorities. The official list of occupational pathologies is outdated, and a number of industries and types of economic activity are not covered by occupational morbidity accounting at all. It is concluded that a necessary condition for intensifying work related to identifying the real extent of occupational morbidity is to improve its accounting, increase the completeness and coverage, simplify the mechanism for diagnosing occupational pathology, and adapt to the changed situation of labor protection regulation in accordance with the author's recommendations set forth in this article. The scope of the research results lies in the fact that the materials of the study can be used by federal and regional legislative and executive authorities that develop measures and implement state policy in the field of labor protection, and perform control and supervisory functions.
Modernist features of B. Lyatoshynsky’s romances: difficulties of interpretation
Authors: Makliuk Dmytro
Published: March 2023

Statement of the problem. Borys Lyatoshinsky’s works marked the beginning of a new stage in the development of Ukrainian music. Thanks to the composer, European musical modernism penetrated Ukrainian musical culture and gave it a powerful impetus for the creative pursuits by a whole constellation of artists. However, Lyatoshinsky’s profound work, which was not infected by the artificial and deceptive optimism of socialist realism, often drew unfair criticism from the ruling strata of the USSR. It was only during Ukraine’s independence that Lyatoshinsky’s music finally gained proper recognition both in our country and abroad. The composer’s works, from piano preludes to symphonies, have become a permanent part of orchestras, ensembles, individual performers repertoire. But the proliferation of the prominent composer’s music inevitably raises questions about the interpretation of his works. After all, even the smallest works by Lyatoshinsky always have a clear and meaningful idea, are full of deep psychological meanings, and are created with the help of complex expressive means. Therefore, working with the composer’s music, even a hundred years after its creation, requires a performer to be very well prepared. The scientific novelty of the study is justified by the almost complete lack of research on modernist features of the composer’s romances and their influence on the interpretation of these works. The purpose of the study is to identify the difficulties of interpretation that a vocalist must overcome in order to perform Lyatoshinsky’s romances in a vivid and artistically convincing manner. Research methods. Musicological, comparative, figurative-semantic analyses helped to achieve the chosen goal. Results and conclusion. The study concluded that in order to perform the studied solo parts in an aesthetically pleasing manner, a singer, in addition to a thorough acting training, needs to be confidently competent in the various pitch systems of the twentieth-century music. Since only knowledge of the specifics of those tonal systems that differ from the major-minor system will help a singer to properly train their ears and voice to overcome performance difficulties and convincingly interpret Lyatoshinsky’s romances. Also, in this context, the issue of the special coherence between vocalist and pianist is extremely relevant, since the piano takes an equal place in Lyatoshinsky’s chamber-vocal works.

Authors: Fehrenbach Daniel J. , Nguyen Bianca , Alexander Matthew R. , Madhur Meena S.
Published: March 2023

Hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor of worldwide morbidity and mortality because of its effects on cardiovascular and renal end-organ damage. Unfortunately, BP control is not sufficient to fully reduce the risks of hypertension, underscoring the need for novel therapies that address end-organ damage in hypertension. Over the past several decades, the link between immune activation and hypertension has been well established, but there are still no therapies for hypertension that specifically target the immune system. In this review, we describe the critical role played by T cells in hypertension and hypertensive end-organ damage and outline potential therapeutic targets to modulate T-cell phenotype and function in hypertension without causing global immunosuppression.

Authors: Alazwari Ahmed Bin Muhammed
Published: March 2023

Objectives: This research deals with the statement of the legal rulings of the mandate for a number of actions resulting from the financial relations of Muslims with others in buying and selling.
Methods: The study used the inductive approach, the analytical method, and the deductive approach, by extrapolating the images of financial transactions in buying and selling, collecting statements and evidence from the books of the approved schools of jurisprudence, then analyzing them, and deducing jurisprudential rulings through them.
Results: The study found that Sharia ensures that harm is lifted from people in their financial relations, and that it is not permissible to cooperate on forbidden matters, whether in selling, buying or others, and one of the forbidden forms in financial relations is selling a Muslim to sell his brother, buying him to buy his brother, and marking him on his brother's son as well as buying goods and storing them when people need them, to sell them at a high price to achieve a great gain in exchange for harming people. All of this has spread in new forms at this time.
Conclusions: Islamic law called for cooperation in all that is in the interest and benefit of people in their financial dealings, especially in buying and selling, and forbade and warned against everything that may cause conflict, division, or call for harming others

Published: March 2023

Life cycle sustainability is an important tool for assessing product performance based on the three pillars of environment, economy and society. This study examined the life cycle impact, cost and social implications of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin. Environmental assessment revealed nonrenewable energy as the greatest impact followed by carcinogens, respiratory inorganics and global warming while economically, the operational cost of HDPE resin production was significantly highest. The social impact assessment following the United Nation Environmental Programme (UNEP)/ Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) guidelines demonstrated optimal performance for all indicators except for gender ratio and disabled employee criteria which were lower human rights indicators than other companies. The subcategory of occupational health and safety should be specified in future aspects, such as rate of disease from company operation. Energy efficiency and material acquisition should be improved to reduce the environmental impact and positively redress declining costs, leading to decrease in disease rate among workers in the local community. Results suggested that improving environmental impact would increase economic performance through optimal energy efficiency, while the social life cycle assessment indicator should mainly focus on health and safety in the event of disease arising from business operations.

Proposal and numerical verification of an ultrasmall terahertz source using integrated photonic crystal waveguides for highly efficient differential frequency generation
Authors: Koyama Yota , Oda Hisaya , Ikeda Naoki , Sugimoto Yoshimasa , Ozaki Nobuhiko
Published: March 2023

We propose and numerically investigate integrated photonic crystal waveguides (PhC-WGs) formed in a semiconductor slab to realize an ultrasmall and highly efficient terahertz (THz) wave source. The structure consists of a straight PhC-WG with low-group-velocity and low-dispersion (LVLD) for efficient difference frequency generation (DFG) connected to two PhC-WGs to introduce two fundamental lights into the LVLD PhC-WG. The fundamental light propagating through each PhC-WG designed to enhance their electric fields by the slow-light effect is efficiently coupled to the LVLD PhC-WG owing to the reduced refractive index differences at the boundaries of the heterostructures. The DFG from the two fundamental lights was numerically simulated, and a temporal intensity oscillation corresponding to the difference in frequency was clearly observed. By comparing the DFG intensities of the integrated structures with an LVLD PhC-WG and a strip WG, the estimated DFG intensity from the LVLD PhC-WG was more than 100 times higher than that from the strip WG. These results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed heterostructure in the application of a highly efficient THz source with an ultrasmall footprint compared with conventional materials.
EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AND NOVEL WAY OF RESTORING DENTAL IMPLANTS- NASA'S GLENN RESEARCH CENTER INNOVATION
Authors: S. Prabhahar C. , Umayal M. , Tamilarasan M. , Manoj Kumar G.
Published: March 2023

Dental implants have been used to replace missing teeth for
more than half a century. They are considered to be an
important contribution to dentistry as they have revolutionized
the way by which missing teeth are replaced with a high
success rate. This success depends on the ability of the
implant material to integrate with the surrounding tissue(1).
Implant failure occurs because of patients systemic health,
unskilled surgical hands and unsteriled implant surface(2).
Atomic oxygen can be used to remove biologically active
contaminants from surgical implants. Even with modern
sterilization practices, it is difcult to remove all debris and
bacterial cells from the implants. Atomic oxygen cleans the
implant and removes all traces of organic materials, which
greatly diminishes the risk of post-operative inammation.
This leads to better results for patients who require surgical
implants

Published: March 2023

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is a major health concern worldwide as it has been reported as one of
the primary reasons of mortalities in women including India. Triple test is one of the commonly accepted
diagnostic procedures for identifying breast tumours. Several limitations of the test have raised the need to search for new and
improved diagnostic biomarkers. Blood based biomarkers are relatively convenient, inexpensive and less invasive. The most
widely used serum tumour marker for (BC) is Carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA-15.3). New serum markers to diagnose breast
tumours are being studied, of which urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is one, which evoked a special interest to
conduct this study. The present study was aimed to determine the levels of serum tumour markers uPAR and CA 15-3 in females
with breast cancer and to compare these levels with grading and clinical staging of tumours. T Material and Methods: he
present study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry of a tertiary care hospital of Northern India. A total of 200
patients of BC were enrolled as study participants for analysis of biomarkers including CA 15-3 and uPAR levels and were
compared with grading and staging of BC. Levels of uPAR and CA 15-3 were found to be sig Results: nicantly increased with
increased stage of breast cancer. In earlier stage uPAR and CA 15-3 levels were lower as compared to advanced stage. No
statistical signicant difference was observed between grading of tumours. Markedly high levels of Conclusion: CA 15-3 and
uPAR in advanced stage of BC indicates their use as potential diagnostic marker in eld of BC.
CASE REPORT ON NON-FUNCTIONING PITUITARY ADENOMA PRESENTING WITH SHORT STATURE, DELAYED PUBERTY AND PRIMARY AMENORRHEA
Authors: Kaundal Shanki , Patial Meenakshi , Gupta Vatika
Published: March 2023

Delayed puberty in girls is dened as lack of secondary sexual characteristics by the age of 13 years and
absence of menarche by the age of 16 years or 5 years after onset of puberty indicates pubertal delay.
Constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP) is the most commonly encountered cause of delayed puberty in girls.
Pituitary tumors are not very common in childhood and adolescence, and prevalence of up to 1 per million children has been
reported. Non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are benign adenohypophyseal tumors not associated with clinical
evidence of hormonal hypersecretion. Patients with NFPAs usually come to medical attention as a result of “mass effects”
symptoms like headaches, visual disturbances, and/or cranial nerve dysfunction caused by lesions large enough to
mechanically compress and damage surrounding structures. Other manifestations are hypopituitarism as a result of mass
effect by the compression of the normal anterior pituitary, and hyperprolactinemia due to pituitary stalk deviation can also be
present. Here is a case of 16 year old female adolescent with pituitary adenoma presenting with delayed puberty and primary
amenorrhea with short stature.

Il ‘brutto anatroccolo’ dell’istruzione e formazione professionale. Genetica di una pretesa ma insostenibile ‘inferiorità’
Authors: Bertagna Giuseppe
Published: March 2023

The separative logic is not educational. The essay reviews the historical events that have generated an undervaluation of vocational training pathways compared to education pathways. This "minority" of perception and legislation stems from a logic of separation with many faces which, taken all together, with etiological spirit and historical-ordinamental contextualization, explain the "untenable" inferiority of vocational education: people (the 'inferiors') and political-bureaucratic elite (the 'superiors'), nature and culture, man and citizen, etc. These separations concerned the idea of labor (one among them, the opposition between 'manual labor' and 'intellectual labor') and did not allow for increasing the educational power of it. Only a logic of integration (embedded and embodied) can defuse the ideas of separation and provide an organic and holistic image of education.
La scrittura scientifica dopo la ‘rivoluzione scientifica’. Tre exempla: Galilei, Darwin, Piaget
Authors: Mariani Alessandro
Published: March 2023

This paper focuses on the structure and function, as well as on the interweavings, variations and integrations of three types of scientific writing (the dialogue, the treatise, the essay) to which Italian pedagogy has focused only partially. From the reflections presented and through the examples given (Galilei, Darwin, Piaget) it emerges that, starting with the "scientific revolution," the renewal of science has also taken place with the contribution of scientific writing, which has become progressively more linear, more open, more disseminated, more dialectical, and more informative.

Authors: Mahdi Liwaa H. , Suheil Suha S.
Published: March 2023

Background: Colonic polyps are slow-growing overgrowth that projects above the surrounding mucosa's of the colon that carry a small risk (< 1%) of becoming malignant. However, because colonic polyps are highly prevalent in the general population (especially with increasing age), they confer an important predisposition to colon cancer and are therefore removed when detected. The distribution of Ki67 and p53 as markers of cell proliferation is very studied in Colorectal Carcinoma. In Iraq, IHC studies to detect p53 & ki-67 expression in GIT malignancy has been conducted.
Aims of the study: To detect the expression of p53 & ki-67 in colonic polyps patient by immunohistochemistry. To assess the possible correlation between p53 &ki-67 in colonic polyps patient. To detect the possibility of conversion of pre-malignant colonic polyps to malignant form.
Methodology: Fifty cases (27 male and 23 female ) were selected randomly with different types of colonic polyps were included in this study and using descriptive study. The age of patients were ranging from 4 up to 80 years, with mean age of [ 46.3 ] years. Cases were collected from the laboratory of histopathology in Al-sadder Medical city in Al-Najaf and from some private laboratories in the same governorate(Al-Najaf). the data analyzed by qi squared.
Result: There is a significant correlation between P53 & age ,p53 & type of polyp also there is a significant correlation between Ki-67& age, Ki-67 & type of colonic polyp .There is a correlation between ki67 & p53.
Conclusion: The study represent a trial to understand the probable conversion of polyps to colorectal carcinomaand the role of P53 & KI-67 in genesis of colorectal carcinoma.
Recommendation: Screen and follow up to all patient with colonic polyps specially to patient with multiplepolyps. All type of polyps should be removed ,because polypectomy currently constitutes the best strategy forpreventing colorectal cancer

Case study of advanced processed OFHC copper by dry sliding wear test
Authors: Bidulsky Robert , Bidulská Jana , Kvačkaj Tibor , Grande Marco Actis
Published: March 2023

The wear behaviour of copper material processed by ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing) and orbital forging (OF) is presented in this study. Dry sliding wear tests were carried out for the wear behaviour of the investigated system. Oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper was used for testing. The new combination of metal forming processes was used because of ease of fabrication. Additionally, wear rate, friction coefficient and wears mechanisms were observed. The friction resistance is caused by the destruction of the adhesion between surface asperities in metal friction. Moreover, increased asperity interactions connected with wear particle entrapment gradually increase the friction coefficient. These results show the metal forming process's positive influence in reducing interfacial adhesion and asperity deformation. Finally, the combinations of newly used advanced processing demonstrated excellent wear characteristics of copper.
COMPARISON OF FINISHING MILLING STRATEGIES USING TOPOGRAPHY OF THE MACHINED SURFACE

The plastics processing and injection molding industry is known for the fact that the future molded part contains a variety of geometric shapes and, in some cases, free surfaces. To produce these shapes, knowledge of CAM systems is required to enable the programmer to select the necessary milling strategies designed to achieve the best possible quality and dimensional accuracy. However, it is equally necessary to understand and appreciate the effect of each strategy and which strategy is best suited for a given type of surface. The paper compares finishing milling strategies by evaluating the topography of the machined surface. The material was AlCu4Mg aluminium alloy, where Constant-Z and Spiral strategy – circle-type finishing strategies were selected for the production process. Surface topography analysis was evaluated and compared at three different heights of the produced part with respect to the tool contact with the machined surface, which showed a variation in toolpaths and therefore also in the quality of machining. The surface topography results demonstrated the Constant Z strategy to be the more suitable strategy for producing the shaped surface, which achieved uniform toolpaths over the whole height of the part.

Rice is the staple food crop for more than half of the world population. Thus, rice varieties enriched with various micronutrients qualifies as a better alternative to combat micronutrient deficiency. The present investigation was undertaken to study the variability, heritability and genetic divergence for grain characters especially grain Zinc (Zn) content and grain Iron (Fe) content in 30 genotypes of rice. Among the 30 genotypes that were under investigation, the Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV) values were found to be higher than that of Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) values for all the traits. High heritability (>60%) was observed for all the studied traits. Days to 50% flowering showed highest heritability (99.1%) followed by test weight (94.8%) and grain Fe content (94.8%). The genetic advance as percent of mean ranged between medium (10%-20%) to high (>20%) with grain yield per plant showing the highest GAM (40.84%) followed by test weight (38.56%) and grain Zn content (33.73%). These 30 genotypes were assigned into groups of 11 clusters using Tocher’s method. Cluster I comprised of the most number of genotypes with 18 genotypes followed by Cluster V with 3 genotypes while the remaining 9 clusters were monogenotypic. Days to 50% flowering was found to have the highest contribution towards genetic divergence. These findings indicated that the genotypes under study have sufficient trait variability and varietal diversity which could be exploited in crop improvement programmes aimed at developing Zinc (Zn) and Iron (Fe) biofortified varieties.
