Retoryka uzbrojona: walka o świadomość we współczesnej przestrzeni medialnej
Authors: Ornatowski Cezar
Published: December 2021

Retoryka uzbrojona to walka o wpływ w przestrzeni kognitywnej, czyli przestrzeni naszej świadomości, prowadzona przy pomocy symboli. Jest to namiastka wojny, a nawet nowy sposób prowadzenia wojny. Retoryka uzbrojona wykracza poza perswazję, argumentację, a nawet propagandę w ich tradycyjnych znaczeniach. Główne środki retoryki uzbrojonej to narracja, działanie i obraz. Polityka zawiera coraz więcej elementów wojny informacyjnej, a pojęcie bezpieczeństwa (narodowego i indywidualnego) odnosi się do domeny świadomości. Najwyższą wartością i stawką w tej wojnie jest reputacja i jej pochodna: legitymacja. Zjawiska te stanowią wyzwanie dla edukacji retorycznej i obywatelskiej.
Playing out the unspeakable: the rhetorics of trauma in The Day the Laughter Stopped digital game
Authors: Bednorz Magdalena
Published: December 2021

The article undertakes a detailed analysis of The Day the Laughter Stopped – a simple text-based browser game about rape, told from the perspective of a young teenage girl. While seemingly straightforward, the game uses choice poetics to build expectations of agency on the side of the player, only to subvert them at the most climactic moment, provoking emotional responses and serving as a commentary on the experience of loss of control and loss of words in the face of a traumatic event. Following existing approaches to rhetorical, emotion-evoking qualities and capabilities of digital games, the article explores the potential of the digital medium to communicate the unspeakable, overwhelming dimension of trauma, as illustrated by the game. The analysis not only explores the medium-specific means of expression which the game utilizes to encourage the audience to explore the perspective of a rape victim in an engaging way, but also leads to the conclusion that in doing so, the game aims to make persuasive statements about the social and cultural discourse around rape trauma and its representations, and therefore contributes to the larger socio-cultural discourse. As such, the article aspires to add to pre-existing studies on the specific rhetorical means of digital fiction, as well as on the approaches to cultural renditions of trauma.
MANGROVE ECOSYSTEM AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Melati Dian Nuraini
Published: December 2021

Mangrove ecosystem has high productivity both ecologically and economically. Mangroveecosystems have the ability to store high carbon which is useful in supporting the reduction ofgreenhouse gas emissions. The results of previous studies have shown that mangroveecosystems are able to store carbon three to four times greater than terestrial forests. Most ofthe carbon are stored in the soil. Therefore, ecosystem mangroves have an important role tomitigate climate change. However, mangroves can be effective in supporting the mitigation ofcarbon dioxide emissions if mangrove deforestation rates are low. However, mangroves canstill contribute with great potential when conservation are maintained to increase future carbonstocks through restoration and prevent further emissions from deforestation. Existing data andprior research indicate that mangrove forests are threatened due to mangrove coveragereduction. This is caused by changes in land use. There are many conversions of mangrovesinto cultivation ponds, as well as conversions into agricultural land such as paddy fields andpastures, accompanied by an increase in demand for oil palm which causes land clearing. Inaddition, the population around the coastal area is increasing, resulting in the clearing ofmangrove land for infrastructure development such as road and port construction. In order toreduce the rate of mangrove deforestation, it is necessary to conserve and restore mangroves.By preserving mangrove forests, not only maintain carbon stocks for climate change mitigationbut also facilitate adaptation to climate change such as sea level rise.

Advanced scintillation materials for calorimetry at circular colliders
Authors: Korzhik M. V.
Published: December 2021

The most probable scenario for the development of experimental high-energy physics in the next 50 years is the creation of a family of Future Circular Colliders (FCC) at CERN, a Circular Electron–Positron Collider at China, and a Future Electron-Ion Collider at Brookhaven (USA), which continue the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) scientific program within the framework of the Standard Model and beyond it. The first generation of colliders to be put into operation will utilize the electron beam as one of the colliding species to provide precise mass spectroscopy in a wide energy range. Similarly to the measurements at the high luminosity phase of the LHC operation, the most important property of the detectors to be used in the experimental setup is a combination of the short response of the detectors and their high time resolution. The radiation tolerance to a harsh irradiation environment remains mandatory but not the main factor of the collider’s experiments using electronic beams. A short response in combination with high time resolution ensures minimization of the influence of the pile-up and spill-over effects at the high frequency of collisions (higher than 50 MGz). The radiation hardness of the materials maintains the long-term high accuracy of the detector calibration. This paper discusses the prospects for using modern inorganic scintillation materials for calorimetric detectors at future colliders.
The Yb3+:LuAlO3 crystal as an active medium for picosecond mode-locked lasers
Authors: Kisel V. E. , Kuleshov N. V. , Yasukevich A. S.
Published: December 2021

Herein, we report on the mathematical modelling and experimental study of the regime of nonsoliton mode locking in a laser based on the Yb3+:LuAlO3 (Yb:LuAP) crystal with longitudinal pumping by laser diode radiation. Simulation based on the Haus master equation permitted to determine the requirements for the parameters of a saturable absorber (SA), the level of the average output power, the size of the TEM00 mode of the cavity in the active element and on the gate to obtain a stable regime of generation of picosecond laser pulses. Laser experiments were carried out in a fourmirror X-shaped resonator using a semiconductor saturable mirror (SESAM) as a passive modulator and a laser diode with a fiber output of a maximum power up to 30 W at a wavelength of 978.5 nm as a pump source. We obtained a stable passive mode locking with a maximum average output power of up to 12 W and an ultrashort pulse duration of about 2 ps at an optical conversion efficiency of pump radiation into lasing radiation of about 38 %. Laser pulses were obtained at a central wavelength of about 999 nm with a minimum Stokes shift (about 2 %) with respect to the pump radiation, which significantly reduced the thermal load on the active element. Additionally, the preliminary results on the second harmonic generation and synchronous pumping of a parametric light generator using a Yb3+ : LuAlO3 crystal laser as a pump source are presented.
Estimation of the anthropogenic aerosol emission effect on the rate of summer warming in Europe
Authors: Lysenko S. A. , Loginov V. F.
Published: December 2021

A relationship between aerosol air pollutions and summer air temperatures in Europe was studied. High correlation coefficients between the latitudinal distributions of the zone-averaged trends of the mentioned parameters were found. The potential effects of decrease in the aerosol emission on the cloud optical depth, in the air temperature, and the amount of precipitation in the territory of Europe were estimated on the basis of the obtained regression equations. It was shown that due to the aerosol emission decrease, the average summer temperature in Europe in 2000–2020 could increase by 0.53 °С, which is ~73 % of total summer warming in the region. The empirical estimates obtained in the work were confirmed by the satellite observation data and the numerical calculations of changes in radiation balance components at the top of the atmosphere. It was shown that the radiation emission decrease in the territory of Europe could increase the average radiation balance in Europe in summer months by 2.27 W/m², which is ~65 % of its total change. The increase in the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere during the same period contributed much less to the observed change in the radiation balance (17.5 %), which supports the hypothesis about the dominant role of aerosols in summer warming in Europe.

The present study was performed using conjoint analysis for optimizing the ingredients level in the development of millet and pulse-based Ready-To-Eat (RTE) extruded products. Conjoint analysis is a multivariate technique used to understand the preference of the product by the consumer, and it is helpful to formulate the prediction about the different ingredient levels in the product. Also, it is called “Trade-off analysis”. The experimental design of treatments with several card ID lists about 9 numbers with different levels of ingredients used for developing the extruded product. The primary level of raw material was barnyard millet (Echinochloa esculenta) (40 %, 50 %, 60 %), chickpea (Cicer arietinum) (10 %, 20%, 30%) and Maize Zea mays (40 %, 50%, 60%). These principle levels of ingredients give more combinations so sensory panel members may give irresponsible and inappropriate results. The statistical tool conjoint analysis will reduce the number of treatments for optimizing the product. The selection of ingredients level in the development of millet and pulse based RTE extruded products was based on relative importance and utility estimate of quality attributes, which was given by conjoint analysis software program through panelist rank for sensory attributes using of 9 point hedonic scale. Hence, the ingredients combinations were found to be barnyard millet (60%), chickpea (20 %), and Maize (40 %). These combinations were optimized based on their higher level of relative importance and utility estimate.

Authors: GÖÇER Kemal , YILDIRIMDEMİR Halil
Published: December 2021

Ventricular lead perforation (VLP) is a rare and life-threatening complication of permanent pacemakers. Generally, VLP emerges in acute and subacute periods after cardiac electronic devices are implanted. Late VLP is unexpected and occurs less frequently. There is an uncertain approach to the treatment of VLPs. Collaboration with cardiovascular surgeons is recommended. Herein, we present two cases of cardiac perforations who were successfully managed. One of them was admitted with cardiac tamponade four years after dual-chamber pacemaker (DCP) implantation, and the right ventricular lead was successfully removed with an open surgical method. The other was admitted with cardiac tamponade two weeks after DCP implantation. Ventricular lead was extracted by a simple traction method without surgical support and successfully re-implanted in the correct location.
Endoscopic findings of the gastrointestinal tract and conjunctions with preceding tomography findings
Authors: AVCI Mehmet Alperen
Published: December 2021

Aim: Abdominopelvic computed tomography is commonly used for delineating the causes of abdominal pain. While its popularity has increased, the rate of non-specific findings like gastrointestinal wall thickening has also increased. We aimed to determine whether a CT finding of thickened wall predicted a pathological finding on subsequent endoscopic evaluation.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on adult patients who underwent endoscopic or colonoscopic evaluation at our center in 2019 and had a preceding abdominopelvic CT within a month before this investigation. Patients’ gastric or colonic wall thicknesses were measured during CT scans. Endoscopy or colonoscopy results of these patients were retrieved, and their correlation with wall thicknesses was analyzed.Results: The study cohort included 647 patients. While 106 (16.38%) underwent endoscopy, 541 (83.62%) underwent colonoscopy. The endoscopic biopsies were malignant in 101 patients (95,3%) and benign in 5 (4,7%) patients. The CT sections showed thickened wall in 93 (87.7%) patients. Comparison of the patients with and without a thickened wall revealed no difference concerning malignancy rates. Increased colonic wall thickness was detected in 506 (93,5%) of the CT sections. Normal or benign colonoscopic biopsy findings were reported in 19 (3,5%) patients. Adenocarcinoma was detected in 456 (84,2%) patients. Comparison of the patient groups with or without wall thickening did not reveal any significant differences regarding malignancy rates.Conclusion: Endoscopic-colonoscopic evaluations should be performed in patients with gastrointestinal wall thickening in CT scans since the diagnostic and predictive accuracy are limited when a single test like CT is used.

Authors: ABANOZ Mustafa , ENGİN Mesut
Published: December 2021

Aim: The most valuable treatment method for coronary artery disease is coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Major cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) are important challenges, and it is particularly important to reveal possible risk factors in this regard. In this study, we aimed to investigate the predictive areas of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) on early postoperatively developing MACCE, in patients who underwent isolated CABG operationMethods: The patients between the ages of 20 and 85 years who underwent consecutive isolated CABG operation in our clinic between May 15th, 2016, and May 15th, 2020, were included in the study retrospectively. In the postoperative period (within a month), those who did not develop MACCE were recorded as Group 1, and those who developed MACCE as Group 2.Results: A total of 297 consecutive patients were included in the study. Group 1 had 263 patients with a median age of 63 (32-80), Group 2 had 34 patients with a median age of 70 (36-85) (P=0.008). There was no difference between the groups in terms of gender, history of cerebrovascular events, smoking, body mass index, hyperlipidemia, ejection fraction, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease rates. As a result of multivariate analysis, advanced age (OR: 1.230 CI 95%: 1.050-1.319 P=0.024), NLR (OR: 1.974 CI 95%: 1.614-3.120, P=0.009), SII (OR: 3.880, CI 95%: 2.690-6.150, P<0.001) and PNI (OR: 2.424, CI 95%: 1.880-3.880, P=0.002) values were determined as independent predictors for predicting early postoperative MACCE.Conclusion: With this study we revealed that SII and PNI values, which are among the inflammatory parameters and which can be obtained cheaply and easily, may be good predictors for MACCE emerging after CABG operations.

Store grain insect pests such as Lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica) is a key feeder and cause substantial weight loss of wheat during storage. Present study was planned to evaluate insecticidal, repellent and growth regulator potential of botanical extracts of two plants Jatropha curcas and Linum usitatissimum along with Spinetoram against Rhyzopertha Dominica. This study was conducted at the Department of Entomology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (UAF) Grain Research, Training, and Storage Management Cell. Each treatment with three replication of 5%, 10%, and 15% concentrations of plant extracts and 100ppm, 200ppm, and 300ppm concentrations of insecticide were used against the adults of R. dominica by using Complete Randomized Design. Insect mortality was taken after 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment. Data of growth regulation data was observed after 30 and 60 days. Data was analyzed by statistic 8.1 software for analysis of variance at 5% level of significance and treatment means was compared with the help of Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference (THSD) test. After 72 hours, Spinetoram showed maximum percent mortality (84%) followed by J. curcas (19.17%) and L. usitatissimum (12.28%) at their higher concentrations rate. Among treatments, after 60 days of exposure, Spinetoram was proved to be more effective against the R. dominica with maximum growth inhibition (70%) as compared to J. curcas (44%) and Linseed (28%). Overall the results indicated that these plant extracts and Spinetoram can be used as efficient alternatives of synthetic chemicals for management of stored grains insect pests.

Published: December 2021

Based on previous recombination actions and LD (linkage disequilibrium) throughout the genome, genome wide association mapping studies often are employed to find Quantitative trait locus in varied collections of crop germplasm. Generally, diverse panel’s genotyped using high density Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels are used to test a broad variety of haplotypes and alleles, as well as to track recombination divisions throughout the genome. GWAS, on the other hand, have rarely been used in breeding populations. We studied association mapping for agricultural parameters such as yield and its constituents in a breeding inhabitants of top irrigated tropical rice progenies so that the findings could be used to breeding more directly than those from a diverse panel. GWAS was undertaken with the specific purpose of accelerating selection in the breeding population, and the sample was genotyped with 71,710 Single nucleotide polymorphisms using genotyping-by-sequencing. We found 52 Quantitative trait locus QTL for 11 agronomic characteristics using this breeding panel, including substantial impact Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for flowering period as well as grain width, grain length, grain length-breadth ratio. Furthermore we discovered haplotypes that may be applied to choose plants for our population with smaller stature (plant height), fast blooming time, with high yield, demonstrating the value of association mapping for advising breeding choices in breeding populations. Furthermore, we explore at how genomic-assisted selection models might be built using the newly discovered important Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and deep insight into the genetic structure of these quantitative traits.

El uso de los procesos de observación e interpretación de la práctica docente como herramienta de aprendizaje para los docentes es infrecuente en España. Para promover su utilización, se considera la importancia de contar con instrumentos que faciliten este análisis de la práctica, a la vez que recogen las características particulares del contexto educativo donde se utilizan. Este estudio presenta el proceso de diseño, construcción y validación de POEMat.ES, un instrumento de observación e interpretación de la práctica docente, en las clases de matemáticas de la etapa de Educación Secundaria. Este proceso consta de dos fases: 1) revisión de la literatura y diseño, utilizando un grupo nominal con 24 especialistas; 2) construcción y validación mediante un método Delphi en dos rondas, con 15 expertos. La versión final del instrumento se organiza en torno a tres dimensiones: contenido matemático, didáctica del contenido matemático y gestión del aula, con un total de 17 indicadores, cada uno de los cuáles se clasifica en cuatro niveles. Las metodologías de consenso utilizadas se consideran adecuadas para la elección y validación de los indicadores que enmarcan la observación de la práctica docente. Se concluye que POEMat.ES es una herramienta útil para sistematizar la observación de la práctica docente y así comprender e interpretar con precisión el proceso de enseñanza de las matemáticas en el aula de matemáticas de Secundaria según la realidad española.

The Taurus Mountains that have a very rich biodiversity are one of the most important mountain chains in Anatolia. In this study, we examined distribution patterns of Chalcides ocellatus that has a restricted dispersal between the Taurus Mountains from the past to current using ecological niche modeling. The Taurus Mountains have played the role as a refugium area in which C. ocellatus could survive through a period of unfavorable conditions. Especially in the glaciation period, Amanos Mountains in the Middle Taurus as an isolating barrier appeared unsuitable habitats for the lineages of C. ocellatus. This indicated that the lineages of C. ocellatus were formed as a result of habitat fragmentation during the last glacial maximum and last interglacial, and were consequently adapted to different climatic conditions.
Predation on Common Wall Lizards: Survival Probabilities of Melanic Individuals

For estimation of predation plasticine models of prey animals are often used, because the soft material preserves imprints left by predators. We assumed that melanic common wall lizards (Podarcis muralis) disappear by selective predation faster than cryptic individuals and habitat features have important role in this process. We studied the survival probabilities of cryptic and melanic colored plasticine common wall lizard models in habitats with different background coloration on selected places near the city of Pécs (south Hungary), where melanic common wall lizards had been observed earlier. Contrary to our expectations the daily survival rates of melanic plasticine common wall lizards were somewhat higher in all three locations (sandstone quarry, stone wall, coal pit) than those of the cryptic ones, but these differences were not significant. Predators were mostly mammals, which left more marks on plasticine models than birds, but we could not show a preference of the body parts of prey. We concluded that rare occurrence of melanic common wall lizards in habitats near the city of Pécs is not due to predation pressure.

In the last couple of decades, autonomous road cleaners have been enormously attracting the world. For this purpose, numerous researchers have contributed to designing efficient, robust, and human-friendly cleaning mechanisms. However, their proposed approaches do not provide a cost-effective solution due to the deployment of exorbitant sensors and sophisticated infrastructure deployment. Hence, we propose to develop a cost-effective self-driving road that has the capability to clean the roads of major cities of Asia. The developed road cleaner efficiently detects road lanes using advanced machine vision techniques and estimates the angle to stay in the lane. Moreover, to control the speed of the road cleaner we have used a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller. The smart cleaning robot detects objects in its surroundings to prevent accidents in congested roads; thus it will have a function of anticollision and automatic avoidance. It also measures turning angle by performing computations on the position of road lanes and takes turns accordingly. To validate the efficiency of the proposed solution, we have performed a series of experiments considering different test cases.

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(P_n^{(k)})_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the $k$-generalized Pell sequence, which starts with $0,\ldots,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is defined by the recurrence$P_n^{(k)}=2P_{n-1}^{(k)}+P_{n-2}^{(k)}+\cdots +P_{n-k}^{(k)},\quad \text{for all }n \geq 2.$For any positive integer $n$, a number of the form $2^n+1$ is referred to as a Fermat number, while a number of the form $2^n-1$ is referred to as a Mersenne number. The goal of this paper is to determine Fermat and Mersenne numbers which are members of the $k$-generalized Pell sequence. More precisely, we solve the Diophantine equation $P^{(k)}_n=2^a\pm 1$ in positive integers $n, k, a$ with $k \geq 2$, $a\geq 1$. We prove a theorem which asserts that, if the Diophantine equation $P^{(k)}_n=2^a\pm 1$ has a solution $(n,a,k)$ in positive integers $n, k, a$ with $k \geq 2$, $a\geq 1$, then we must have that $(n,a,k)\in \{(1,1,k),(3,2,k),(5,5,3)\}$. As a result of our theorem, we deduce that the number $1$ is the only Mersenne number and the number $5$ is the only Fermat number in the $k$-Pell sequence.
Note to the behavior of the maximal term of Dirichlet series absolutely convergent in half-plane
Authors: Sheremeta M.M.
Published: December 2021

By $S_0(\Lambda)$ denote a class of Dirichlet series $F(s)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_n\exp\{s\lambda_n\} (s=\sigma+it)$ withan increasing to $+\infty$ sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_n)$ of exponents ($\lambda_0=0$) and the abscissa of absolute convergence $\sigma_a=0$.We say that $F\in S_0^*(\Lambda)$ if $F\in S_0(\Lambda)$ and $\ln \lambda_n=o(\ln |a_n|)$ $(n\to\infty)$. Let$\mu(\sigma,F)=\max\{|a_n|\exp{(\sigma\lambda_n)}\colon n\ge 0\}$ be the maximal term of Dirichlet series. It is proved that in order that $\ln (1/|\sigma|)=o(\ln \mu(\sigma))$ $(\sigma\uparrow 0)$ for every function $F\in S_0^*(\Lambda)$ it is necessary and sufficient that $\displaystyle \varlimsup\limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{\ln \lambda_{n+1}}{\ln \lambda_n}<+\infty. $For an analytic in the disk $\{z\colon |z|<1\}$ function $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ and $r\in (0, 1)$ we put $M_f(r)=\max\{|f(z)|\colon |z|=r<1\}$ and $\mu_f(r)=\max\{|a_n|r^n\colon n\ge 0\}$. Then from hence we get the following statement: {\sl if there exists a sequence $(n_j)$ such that $\ln n_{j+1}=O(\ln n_{j})$ and $\ln n_{j}=o(\ln |a_{n_{j}}|)$ as $j\to\infty$,  then the functions $\ln \mu_f(r)$ and $\ln M_f(r)$ are or not are slowly increasing simultaneously.

Authors: Ravsky A. V.
Published: December 2021

We found a solution of Henry E. Dudeney’s star puzzle (a path on a chessboard from c5 to d4 in 14 straight strokes) in 14 queen moves, which was claimed impossible by the puzzle author. Generalizing this result to other board sizes, we obtained bounds on minimal number of moves in a board filling queen path with given source and destination.

Problem. The analysis of existing research and publications in which the main problem is highlighted, namely, that many factors are not taken into account when calculating the inertial loads of the car crane arrows. Accounting for these factors will allow you to more accurately determine the inertial loads of the boom of the car crane, to carry out strength-hunches of the elements of the boom and the selection of components of its drive mechanisms. Goal. The purpose of the work is to determine the inertial navan-loads acting on the load and arrow of the automobile-side crane during the unstable movement of its. Methodology. To calculate the inertial loads, the technique of determining the total inertial loads of the car crane boom during joint operations in accordance with the Safety Regulations has been developed. Total inertial loads were determined for the following cases: joint lifting (lowering) of cargo and arrows; lifting the load and turning the boom; lifting and turning the arrow. Results. The resulting dependencies for determining the inertial loads of the rotary boom of the car crane will allow more accurately taking into account multiple factors to calculate the values of these loads in order to conduct strong calculations of the boom, the selection of its components mechanisms. Originality. When calculating inertial loads, the weight and length of the boom are taken into account; weight and height of lifting of cargo; the radius of the arrow crane; rotation speed of the rotary part of the crane; speed of movement of cargo and arrows; start time and braking of cargo lifting mechanisms, change of departure and turn of the boom. The advantage of this technique is its originality. Practical value. The use of this technique allows more accurately taking into account multiple factors to determine the values of the inertial loads of the automobile crane during the unstable movement of the cargo lifting mechanisms, changes in the discharge of the boom and its rotation in order to conduct strong-standing calculations of the boom elements, the selection of its components.

Problem. The study of the human factor in transport systems is increasingly important, given the rapid level of motorization and the development of the transport industry in general. Accordingly, there is a task of ensuring the appropriate traffic safety level. Today, in this area, are usually taken into account the road conditions and the road`s design parameters, but often miss the role of the "human factor". At the same time, with the development of methodologies and technical items, these issues are partly researched and solved. Thus, during considering issues related to traffic safety, it is necessary to pay attention to the drivers` functional state (FS) and psychophysiological qualities, their reliability, factors of negative impact on their body, etc. Goal. The research aims to establish how the bus driver`s FS changes under the influence of various traffic conditions` factors. Methodology. The approaches adopted in the paper, which are necessary to solve the goal, are based on theoretical and practical principles for determining the indicators of a human`s FS during professional activity, their regulatory values, allowable ranges of change, etc. Results. The obtained mathematical and graphical dependences take into account the change of transport process operator`s FS under the influence of such factors as the bus`s speed, the altitude of the highway and the duration of the driver work. The stress index (SI) is selected as the driver`s status indicator. It is established that its values range from 87 to 342 c.u. It was studied that the increase in speed leads to an increase in the driver's SI by about 35%. During the statistical data analysis, it was also found that the highest values of SI were observed on sections of roads at an altitude of 250 - 320 m and 420 - 500 m. At the same time, during the increase of the driver's work duration, the value of the SI increased by about 25% and could approach the value of 250 c.u. In accordance with the above, it can be argued that there is an influence of the driver`s driving conditions and work on his FS. Originality. The obtained regularities reflect the impact of drivers' working conditions on the value of their FS, which affects the probability of their accident-free operation and, as a result, traffic safety. Practical value. The obtained results allow the creation of recommendations for developing schedules of drivers` work and rest taking into account the traffic conditions on the route and the conditions of driver's work.
