Nanoscale Reciprocating Sliding Contact Behaviors of an Isosceles Trapezoid Textured Surface in Space Environment
Authors: Tong Ruiting , Quan Zefen , Liu Geng
Published: December 2020

Background:

In the space environment, microgravity and vacuum influence the mechanical
behaviors of the devices. In the microgravity environment, the mechanical components vibrate
with a small amplitude once there is a disturbance. The vibration can be seen as a reciprocating sliding
contact with a small amplitude. In addition to the vibration, adhesion effects are predominant in
a vacuum, which will induce a high friction force.

Objective:

To reduce the friction force, textured surfaces are widely used in mechanical engineering
on the earth, and nanoscale textures are also verified to be used to improve the frictional behaviors
of components in the size of nanometers.

Methods:

In this paper, the adhesion effects are considered by using molecular dynamics (MD)
simulation, and the microgravity induced vibration is simplified as a reciprocating sliding contact.
Coupling MD simulation and the finite element method which is a multiscale method are used to
investigate the frictional properties of nanoscale reciprocating sliding contact between rigid multiasperity
tips and an isosceles trapezoid textured surface.

Results:

Average friction forces for the different tips are presented, and the friction processes are
analyzed. A stable friction process is discovered for a specific case, and the average friction force is
kept at two stable values corresponding to two sliding directions.

Conclusion:

Compared with the total average friction forces of a smooth surface, the textured surface
can reduce the friction forces greatly. This work could contribute to the textured surface design
to improve frictional properties in the space environment.

:

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in Wuhan, China,
and soon the infection turned into a pandemic. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the spread of COVID-19 infection. The World Health Organization
(WHO) confirmed 4.20% of total deaths globally (March 21, 2020). Within four months (July
21, 2020), the rate of confirmed total deaths was recorded up to 4.17% globally. In India, 909 confirmed
cases and 19 deaths were reported by Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, on
March 28, 2020. Over a period of 123 days in India, 1638870 confirmed cases and 35684 deaths
were reported. COVID-19 can potentially spread from person to person through direct contact or respiratory
droplets from coughing and sneezing. The most common symptoms are fever, dry cough,
difficulty in breathing, and fatigue. A pregnant mother with COVID-19 has fewer chances of transferring
this infection to her newborn baby. Children are less affected than adults from this virus. A
specific antiviral drug or vaccine has not been developed to cure the disease to date. Drugs including
chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir, ritonavir, nafamostat, nitazoxanide, and remdesivir,
have been observed to be effective for treating COVID-19. Many vaccine candidates are under
investigation in pre-clinical and clinical studies. In this review, we highlight the epidemiology,
signs and symptoms, pathogenesis, and mode of transmission of the infection caused by
COVID-19, and its effects on a pregnant mother and newborn, and children. We also highlight the
preventive measures and drugs that are effective for treating COVID-19.

Authors: Ashique Sumel , Sandhu Navjot K. , Haque Sk. Niyamul , Koley Kartick
Published: December 2020

:

A coronavirus is a group of nonsegmented, single-stranded, enveloped viruses having
positive RNA genomes. This virus was first described in 1931, and the first coronavirus was isolated
(HCoV-229E) from humans in 1965. People be-come infected with four human coronavirus
strains: 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1, which cause respiratory associated problems such as
SARS and MERS. Lately, a new version of a strain called SARD-CoV-2 has been found. WHO
called it novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia (NCIP) and later officially renamed as COVID-19
on 11th Feb 2020. The outbreak began in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in Dec 2019 and from now the outbreak
becomes pandemic. Here, we have reviewed various categories of therapeutics, vaccines, and
clinically investigated drugs to treat and prevent n-COVID-19. Till now, no specific FDA approved
drugs or vaccines are available against n-COVID-19. Several options can be visualized to
control or prevent emerging infections, including antivirals, immunomodulators, interferons,
vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and bio- molecules. Given the urgency of the outbreak, we have
discussed some potential existing therapeutics for treating n-COVID-19.

Authors: Gulden Christian , Blasini Romina , Nassirian Azadeh , Stein Alexandra , Altun Fatma Betül , Kirchner Melanie , Prokosch Hans-Ulrich , Boeker Martin
Published: December 2020

Background

Clinical trial registries increase transparency in medical research by making information and results of planned, ongoing, and completed studies publicly available. However, the registration of clinical trials remains a time-consuming manual task complicated by the fact that the same studies often need to be registered in different registries with different data entry requirements and interfaces.

Objective

This study investigates how Health Level 7 (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) may be used as a standardized format for exchanging and storing clinical trial records.

Methods

We designed and prototypically implemented an open-source central trial registry containing records from university hospitals, which are automatically exported and updated by local study management systems.

Results

We provided an architecture and implementation of a multisite clinical trials registry based on HL7 FHIR as a data storage and exchange format.

Conclusions

The results show that FHIR resources establish a harmonized view of study information from heterogeneous sources by enabling automated data exchange between trial centers and central study registries.

Authors: Shams Farhud , Wong James S H , Nikoo Mohammadali , Outadi Ava , Moazen-Zadeh Ehsan , Kamel Mostafa M , Song Michael Jae , Jang Kerry L , Krausz Reinhard Michael
Published: December 2020

Background

There is a growing body of evidence regarding eHealth interventions that target substance use disorders. Development and funding decisions in this area have been challenging, due to a lack of understanding of what parts of an intervention work in which context.

Objective

We conducted a realist review of the literature on electronic cognitive behavioral therapy (eCBT) programs for substance use with the goal of answering the following realist question: “How do different eCBT interventions for substance use interact with different contexts to produce certain outcomes?”

Methods

A literature search of published and gray literature on eHealth programs targeting substance use was conducted. After data extraction, in order to conduct a feasible realist review in a timely manner, the scope had to be refined further and, ultimately, only included literature focusing on eCBT programs targeting substance use. We synthesized the available evidence from the literature into Context-Mechanism-Outcome configurations (CMOcs) in order to better understand when and how programs work.

Results

A total of 54 papers reporting on 24 programs were reviewed. Our final results identified eight CMOcs from five unique programs that met criteria for relevance and rigor.

Conclusions

Five strategies that may be applied to future eCBT programs for substance use are discussed; these strategies may contribute to a better understanding of mechanisms and, ultimately, may help design more effective solutions in the future. Future research on eCBT programs should try to understand the mechanisms of program strategies and how they lead to outcomes in different contexts.
Family History Extraction From Synthetic Clinical Narratives Using Natural Language Processing: Overview and Evaluation of a Challenge Data Set and Solutions for the 2019 National NLP Clinical Challenges (n2c2)/Open Health Natural Language Processing (OHNLP) Competition
Authors: Shen Feichen , Liu Sijia , Fu Sunyang , Wang Yanshan , Henry Sam , Uzuner Ozlem , Liu Hongfang
Published: December 2020

Background

As a risk factor for many diseases, family history (FH) captures both shared genetic variations and living environments among family members. Though there are several systems focusing on FH extraction using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, the evaluation protocol of such systems has not been standardized.

Objective

The n2c2/OHNLP (National NLP Clinical Challenges/Open Health Natural Language Processing) 2019 FH extraction task aims to encourage the community efforts on a standard evaluation and system development on FH extraction from synthetic clinical narratives.

Methods

We organized the first BioCreative/OHNLP FH extraction shared task in 2018. We continued the shared task in 2019 in collaboration with the n2c2 and OHNLP consortium, and organized the 2019 n2c2/OHNLP FH extraction track. The shared task comprises 2 subtasks. Subtask 1 focuses on identifying family member entities and clinical observations (diseases), and subtask 2 expects the association of the living status, side of the family, and clinical observations with family members to be extracted. Subtask 2 is an end-to-end task which is based on the result of subtask 1. We manually curated the first deidentified clinical narrative from FH sections of clinical notes at Mayo Clinic Rochester, the content of which is highly relevant to patients’ FH.

Results

A total of 17 teams from all over the world participated in the n2c2/OHNLP FH extraction shared task, where 38 runs were submitted for subtask 1 and 21 runs were submitted for subtask 2. For subtask 1, the top 3 runs were generated by Harbin Institute of Technology, ezDI, Inc., and The Medical University of South Carolina with F1 scores of 0.8745, 0.8225, and 0.8130, respectively. For subtask 2, the top 3 runs were from Harbin Institute of Technology, ezDI, Inc., and University of Florida with F1 scores of 0.681, 0.6586, and 0.6544, respectively. The workshop was held in conjunction with the AMIA 2019 Fall Symposium.

Conclusions

A wide variety of methods were used by different teams in both tasks, such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, convolutional neural network, bidirectional long short-term memory, conditional random field, support vector machine, and rule-based strategies. System performances show that relation extraction from FH is a more challenging task when compared to entity identification task.
Tatars of Kazakhstan: number and distribution (according to population census materials 1989, 1999, and 2009)
Authors:   S.Amanzholov East Kazakhstan State University, Razhepaeva Fauzia Z.
Published: December 2020

The history of the settlement of the Kazakhstan territory by Tatars took place over several centuries. At present, they are among the eight most numerous ethnic groups of the republic. Over the years of residence on the Kazakh land, the demographic behavior of Tatars constantly changed. In this regard, the author of the article sought to show the dynamics of the number and location of the Tatar diaspora in Kazakhstan, as well as the features of their intra-republican distribution over a twenty-year period. Considering the demographic characteristics of the Tatars in Kazakhstan, the main focus was made on the census of 1989, 1999, and 2009, the analysis of which showed that since the 80s of the 20th century, the growth rate of Tatars has slowed significantly; while in the 90s of 20th and early 21st centuries, there is a noticeable reduction in the Tatar population. The reasons for this were, first of all, the external migration of Tatars, a decrease in birth rate and an increase in mortality among them. During 1989–2009, Tatars steadily occupied the sixth place in their numbers among the other most numerous ethnic groups of the republic. The region most populated by the Tatars in the period between the three censuses of 1989, 1999, and 2009 was the Karaganda Region, the least number of Tatars lived in Mangistau – 0.3% and Kyzylorda – 0.3%. Tatars are one of the most urbanized ethnic groups in Kazakhstan. In the urban population, they occupy the 5th place in their number. Over 10% of the Tatars live in rural areas of Almaty, Kostanay, Akmola, and South Kazakhstan regions. Representatives of the ethnic group under discussion reside in virtually all regions of Kazakhstan. The resettlement of Tatars in these regions of the republic was primarily influenced by the socio-economic situation, professional structure, high educational level, culture and lifestyle of the Tatar diaspora representatives.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Pulmonary fluid shifts can occur while scuba diving. Such shifts, generally thought to be rare, may result in a life-threatening phenomenon known as immersion pulmonary edema (IPE). This study aims to better classify the normal physiology of diving using ultrasound (US) to determine if these fluid shifts occur routinely during commercial diving work at the NASA Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL). Methods: Chest US was performed on commercial divers prospectively pre- and post-dive to evaluate the presence of B-lines in a total of 12 intercostal points on the anterior, posterior, and lateral chest wall. The number of B-lines at each anatomic site was recorded and scored by two independent reviewers. An increase in the number of B-lines postdive was considered a positive result. Results: There were 67 exposures; 39 (58%) had an increase of one or more B-lines post dive; 64% of the female exposures and 57% of the male exposures were positive for B-lines post-dive, suggesting no difference across gender (Fisher’s exact; p = 0.763). After the dive, all divers remained asymptomatic. Conclusions: From our results, fluid shifts can be viewed as a normal, transient, and physiologic process in commercial divers. This correlation can be compared to the formation of low-grade venous gas emboli (VGE) from decompression that does not result in decompression sickness. Further study of US B-lines in symptomatic divers may define the utility of field US in the diagnosis and management of IPE, and help identify associated risk factors.

Published: December 2020

There is burgeoning research on intimate partner violence (IPV) experiences among women globally. However, there is a dearth of research on IPV experiences among marginalized populations in Western countries. Over the past decade, IPV research has shifted from a focus only on physical and sexual violence to include coercive control experiences. These include a continuum of nonviolent behaviors centered on maintaining dominance over one’s partner. However, the empirical literature on examining coercive control among women in prostitution within non-commercial intimate partners is lacking. In this study, we analyzed interviews with 17 women exiting prostitution and examined reported IPV sexual, physical, and coercive control experiences perpetrated by intimate partners. Our findings revealed that participants experienced extensive physical and sexual IPV as well as physical and non-physical coercive control within non-commercial partner relationships. Coercive control was the most frequent type of abuse reported. All nine investigated coercive control tactics were represented within participants’ descriptions. Of these, exploitation (36%), intimidation (16.3%), degradation (12.5%), and deception (10.0%) were the most commonly identified. Understanding and assessing violent actions and control dynamics within non-commercial intimate partner relationships among women exiting prostitution have important implications for various stakeholders within the criminal justice system.

Published: December 2020

Background: The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) score is a tool that helps with self-assessment of the shoulder’s functional status in patients experiencing instability problems.The purpose of this study was the cross-cultural adaptation of WOSI into Arabic and assessment of its psychometric properties in comparison to a gold standard-questionnaire, namely the Arabic Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score. Material & Methods: 100 patients participated in this survey, tested initially and retest after two months. The internal consistency tests were performed using Cronbach's alpha. Besides, Pearson's Correlation and Standard response mean (SRM) were calculated to estimate criterion validity and responsiveness of the Arabic WOSI in comparison to the Arabic DASH. Results: The Arabic WOSI had a Cronbach's alpha score of 0.85 at the baseline and 0.91 at the follow-up time period. All subscales had an internal consistency greater than 0.7, except Sport/Work (0.69 at follow-up). A strong correlation with Arabic DASH score was observed (r = 0.79 at baseline & 0.87 at Follow-up) which suggested good validity. Also, moderately correlated changes of baseline to follow-up in DASH and WOSI indicated moderate responsiveness. No ceiling and floor effects were observed among the responses. Conclusion: Overall, the Arabic version of WOSI proved to be a good and reliable diagnostic tool for patients with shoulder instability.

Published: December 2020

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of disability; therefore, it is important to investigate factors that might affect the quality of life of stroke patients and refine rehabilitation technologies for better functional gains. The aim of this paper was to study possible factors that determine the quality of life in the residual ischemic stroke period. The MOS SF-36 health survey was completed by 210 patients undergoing early rehabilitation at a stroke care unit. The study revealed a significant decline in some quality of life indicators correlated with advancing age and severity of the condition (correlation coefficient –0.5; p < 0.01). Both physical and mental component summary scores were lower in women than in men (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively). High scores on the majority of the applied subscales were observed in the patients with a vertebrobasilar stroke, as compared with those who had suffered a carotid stroke (p < 0.05). The early rehabilitation regimen complemented with acupuncture in the acute stroke period and the subsequent rehabilitation program at the Rehabilitation Hospital significantly contributed (р < 0.05) to improving the quality of life of stroke patients in the residual stroke period.

Published: December 2020

The paper reviews the development of new research methods in the context of digitalisation of many spheres of life, which has accelerated especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper reveals the possibilities and limitations of using digital technologies to collect information in social work research. The study employed the methods of systematic analysis of data from academic publications and reflection of the authors’ own experience of collecting information using online technologies within research projects focused on the development of various socio-psychological services. The main groups of online methods and means of data collection implemented in quantitative and qualitative research are described. The advantages of online data collection are highlighted, including its use under conditions of limited movement, greater coverage of respondents and territories, relative economy, greater ability to control the flow of surveys, data entries and storage. A number of problems and challenges of using new methods have been identified, in particular, the complexity of sampling; lack of research resources in the case of collecting information about people who do not have a proper access to modern means of communication or skills to use them, etc. Mandatory procedures for such research, due to ethical requirements (guaranteeing anonymity and confidentiality, obtaining informed consent to participate in the study) are outlined. Some examples of problem-solving within the surveys of the women infected with HIV and the projects aimed at assisting the persons taking drugs by means of injecting are provided. The immediate prospects for the development of this topic are defined as the encouragement of Internet users to participate in research on social work, the development of communication skills between researchers and participants in online research alongside facilitation of virtual discussions during online focus groups.
The basics of development of support reactions in an early ontogenesis
Authors: Biesieda Volodymyr , Marchuk Vitaliy
Published: December 2020

On account of the current situation of total deterioration in the children’s health in Ukraine, a special focus is to be paid to the issues related to the children who suffer from the disorders of the musculoskeletal system, where the verticalisation of the child plays an important role. The priority in the formation of the orthograde position of a person, adoption of a vertical posture and movement in it is the formation and development of support reactions during infancy and a young age. Numerous studies in the field of the formation of the support reaction, the formation and development of support capacity was mainly given to lower limbs (M. Bezrukih, V. Beseda, M. Bocharov, V. Dubrovsky, N. Efimenko, V. Mitskevich, G. Popov, N. Finney). Herewith the ontogenetic data were insufficiently represented, and the studies of support reactions of various parts of the body were rather meager, which determined the direction of our study. The purpose of this article was to identify key points of the formation of the support ability of various parts of the child’s body in the process in an early ontogenesis. Research Objectives: 1. Analysis of literary sources on the problem of the formation and development of the support ability of children. 2. To identify the main blocks of the formation of the child's support in different age periods of an early ontogenesis. Research methods: a method of analyzing literary sources on a problem of formation of support ability in children; a method of generalization of obtained information regarding the development of support ability and its impact on motor status of the child; a method of classifying of periods of formation of support abilities of various parts of the body during an early ontogenesis. Analyzing the information received from above, it should be borne in mind that in ontogenesis, the formation of support ability occurs in various parts of the body depending on certain periods of the child’s life, which subsequently affects the development of his posture. This information can be used by specialists in the field of physical education to solve the problem of the formation of support ability of the children, especially in the infant period as well as in the correction of various motor disorders.
Activation of the students’ creative potential who are majoring in Philology in classes on the Modern Ukrainian language
Authors: Kucheriava Oksana
Published: December 2020

Creativity occupies one of the central places in the model of modern higher education institution graduate’s key competencies. The article aims to reveal the content of the problem related to the development of the students’ creative thinking who major in Philology; in particular, the paper deals with a number of tasks, it is going to: 1) characterise creativity as a professional competency; 2) highlight students' views on providing a creative atmosphere in the educational process at the Department of Foreign Languages; 3) offer a number of techniques to activate the creative potential of students in modern Ukrainian language classes. The methods like: theoretical (analysis of pedagogical and psychological literature) and empirical (questionnaires and interviews with students of the Philology Faculty) were used. The Quantitative analysis of the survey’s results conducted among the second and fourth year students majoring in 014 Secondary Education (Ukrainian Language and Literature) at Ushynsky University, showed the urgency of the problem and the need to use constructive approaches to teaching academic disciplines at the Philology Faculty. The author analyses the definitions of the concepts “creativity”, “creative personality” which are primarily distinguished by such features as openness to new ideas, their flexibility and originality, interest in the problem, activity, independence in judgments. Having checked the example of the discipline “Modern Ukrainian language” (the Section “Syntax of a complex sentence), some methods of stimulating students’ creative activity were illustrated: compiling intelligence maps to visualise theoretical material and analysis which present practical tasks; creative or figurative writing based on the use of non-traditional genres (poetic techniques “11 words”, senkan; “five sentences”; fairy tales, essays, sketches, miniatures, associative writing); solving creative problems that require the involvement of different ways of learning (nature, art, linguistic and cultural studies). As a result, the emphasis was put on the importance of providing cognitive motivation and creating appropriate conditions that would encourage students to creative activity and self-expression.
Digital resocialisation of the elderly people in the territorial centre of social services
Authors: Karkach Andrii
Published: December 2020

The relevance of the study is stipulated by the fact that modern digital technologies are radically changing the economy and lifestyle in general. The information society determines the transformation of social structure, revision of patterns of social activities and stereotypes of behaviour, strategies and tactics of adaptation. Today's information technology and software encourages our society to accelerate in order to learn more and keep up with the scientific and technological progress. Under such conditions, the people of the "third" age appear to be the most vulnerable ones. Without social services and educational services, they are not able to independently master the array of innovative knowledge, including e-technology. Nowadays, a good command of the basics of the personal computer, E-technologies is becoming a necessary condition for orientation in the information flow and successful resocialisation and adaptation of the elderly people in the modern society, for overcoming digital inequality, immersion into the global information flows. The purpose of the study is to determine the features of the mechanisms enabling digital resocialisation of the elderly people within the educational environment of the University of the Third Age. The method of questionnaire survey was used to collect data, as this form of survey has an advantage – it allows respondents to carefully consider their answers without limiting their time.

Published: December 2020

The article raises the issue regarding the possibilities of using musical noise instruments in the process of mass art education. The relevance of the topic is predetermined by these facts: a) insufficient attention of representatives of musical education to the use of musical noise instruments; b) the growing importance of this type of instrument in academic and popular music; c) increasing interest of modern youth in instrumental music making; b) the low degree of development of the theory and methodology of playing musical noise instruments. The goal of the work is to consider the phenomenon of musical noise instruments from the education viewpoint as well as to determine their pedagogical potential. The content of the article. Based on the analysis of special literature, the classification concept “musical noise instruments” has been specified. Their mechanical, acoustic, plastic, cultural and educational properties have been characterised. The features of musical noise instruments that determine the possibility and expediency of their use in the practice of musical education have been determined. The results of the study. It is proposed to understand “musical noise instruments” as acoustic mechanical devices that allow creating more or less plastic broadband and colour noises. It has been established that musical noise instruments have an important educational value, which can be explained by a number of factors: a) these instruments belong to the oldest sound generation devices in the history of mankind, familiarity with them serves to expand cultural knowledge and gnostic motivation for art education; b) mastery of them opens the way for developing traditions of the native national art and the wealth of other national cultures; c) musical noise instruments primarily serve to reproduce the musical rhythm in all its expressiveness and structural complexity; involvement of schoolchildren in playing music with musical noise instruments promotes the development of their musical and rhythmic abilities, perceptions and skills; d) since the role of musical noise instruments today has significantly increased in the practice of classical, jazz and popular music, the acquaintance of students with these instruments should be considered as one of the ways to master the poetics and artistic language of modern music in its various style and genre manifestations; e) musical noise instruments have a high potential in attracting preschool children and primary school pupils to active ensemble music playing. Modern pedagogy of higher education should study and develop the didactic capabilities of musical noise instruments in training future teachers of musical art: the formation of their sense of rhythm, texture, architectonics, timbre palette, intonational expressiveness; arranging skills, expanding musical and cultural experience. These tasks require an appropriate technique, the development of which is the author’s further task.

The success of modern transformational changes in public life depends crucially on the quality of professional training of future professionals. In this view, under conditions of reforming the Ukrainian society, a social significance of a competent specialist is extremely growing. An important area of transformational changes is the training of future teachers on a competence basis, which is conditioned by qualitative features of the competence-based paradigm in the context of modern socio-economic and spiritual development of society, changes in the nature and content of work, complexity as well as increasing requirements to performance results, on the one hand; and on the other hand – by the need to more quickly overcome the negative phenomena occurring in the system of training future professionals. The modern labour market, above all, provides for the presence of a professionally competent worker who is fluent in the profession-centred assignments and well-oriented in related fields, ready for continuous personal growth, social and professional mobility. These requirements can be fully applied to the training intended for the future teachers. At the same time, since the future specialist of any profession begins with the school, namely "the school stands for their teacher", the solution of these complicated problems depends entirely on the teacher, the quality of his / her training. As the teacher’s professional activity under conditions of the New Ukrainian school is filled with qualitatively new content, conditioned by the new demands of the society, the professional requirements to the training of the future teacher are significantly strengthened. This outlines a radical change in approaches to the process of professional training intended for future teachers. This is the general pedagogical core of this training that is important, because it deals with the equipping of students with knowledge of the basics of pedagogical theory and school practice, the development of professional thinking, the developed pedagogical skills and abilities to implement social functions alongside the subject component of the professional development aimed at mastering the logic of deploying the specifics of the content. Based on the understanding that each subject, including Biology in particular, is a means of developing the student's personality; the problem of forming future Natural Science teachers’ subject competence in Biology is becoming extremely important. This also requires the expansion of scientific knowledge about the structure of originality, in particular the subject competence in Biology under conditions of the bachelor courses, where basic higher education is obtained.

Social services for families in the community» (Semikina, 2020). So, directions of the reform of social services are accessibility, overcoming difficult life circumstances, guardianship and care of children.
