Introduction: Worldwide there was recent outbreak of a novel Corona Virus infection i.e. SARS COV19. Although it involves primarily the pulmonary system other systems like Cardiovascular, renal, neurological, hematological systems are also significantly involved by SARS COV19 infection.Aim: In this study our aim was to analyze the pathophysiologic mechanism of hematological abnormalities in COVID-19 patients and its role in risk stratification, severity & prognosis of the disease.Materials and Methods: In this study we have analyzed the clinical presentation and pathological laboratory results of hematological abnormalities retrospectively from previous records of COVID-19 patients admitted to our hospital. All the hematological parameters i.e. changes in Hb%, WBC Count, Platelet Count and Coagulation Profile parameters i.e. PT-INR, aPPT& D-dimer were analyzed and correlated with the disease severity and its prognosis. Statistical analysis was done be x2 test.Results: In our study the most common hematological abnormality was Lymphopenia followed by Leukocytosis and majority of the patient were >60 Yrs. age with male predominance. Conclusion: Among all the hematological abnormalities coagulation parameter D-dimer (elevated levels) are most significantly associated with disease severity. Among the other hematological abnormalities the most common abnormality was Lymphopenia which along with combined features of Anemia, Leukocytosis andNeutrophilia were also significantly associated with disease severity. So, monitoring & evaluation of hematological parameters could be a crucial step towards risk stratification & management of COVID-19 patients.

ANALYSIS OF MODERN TECHNOLOGIES FOR EXTINGUISHING ACTIVE METALS
Authors: Казаков Алексей Васильевич , Емельянов Роман Александрович , Бухтояров Дмитрий Викторович , Полтавец Денис Владимирович
Published: December 2022

Проведен анализ огнетушащих составов, применяемых для тушения активных металлов (пожары класса D). Отмечено, что основные современные средства обеспечения пожаротушения представляют собой галогенсодержащие соли (фториды или хлориды щелочных и щелочно-земельных металлов), препятствующие доступу кислорода без ингибирующего эффекта по отношению к самому горящему металлу. При этом данные солевые композиции не лишены недостатков из-за их высокой гигроскопичности (содержания кристаллизационной воды), что усложняет тушение. Ввиду последнего разработка более эффективных огнетушащих составов для тушения активных металлов является достаточно актуальной и перспективной.

Ignition of active metals and their alloys often results in significant material damage. This determines the relevance for development of means to eliminate the possibility of ignition of metals and their alloys in zones of their most likely occurrence - during their melting and refining in metallurgical processes, in the technological processes of their processing and manufacturing of products by enterprises of various industries. For these purposes it is necessary to equip both consumers and special fire departments with highly effective means to ensure fire safety. Burning of active metals is characterized by a very rapid development of the oxidation reaction in the air due to their high reactivity. At the same time, for example, in a D1 class fire (burning of light metals except alkaline), the upper temperature threshold can reach 3000 °C. Alkaline and alkaline-earth metals are able to sustain combustion with limited air oxygen or contact with nitrogen or oxygen-containing substances. Extinguishing metals and their compounds differs from extinguishing fires of other classes. The main extinguishing agent used at protection facilities is a special purpose extinguishing powder. Class D fire extinguishing with a special purpose extinguishing powder consists in creating a protective layer on the burning surface. The use of calming nozzles practically prevents the formation of the air suspension when applying a fire extinguishing agent to burning area. Thus, the principle of extinguishing metals with powder extinguishing agents is to isolate and interrupt the chain reaction of burning. Despite the sufficient effectiveness of the powder compositions used, there was also identified a number of significant drawbacks in the work: a large consumption of extinguishing agent, the difficulty of supplying extinguishing agent to the hearth due to high temperature, the high cost of special extinguishing powders of a new generation, etc. As a matter of fact, it is concluded that the search for more effective means of extinguishing fires of metals and their alloys is relevant and promising, with the absence of these shortcomings.

The paper analyzes the known data on the available types of electric vehicles operated in the Russian Federation. The cases of fires in electric vehicles in various countries of the world are described. The principle of operation of batteries is considered. There are described the causes of ignition of lithium-ion batteries: mechanical damage of cells; violation of production technology (uneven cutting of electrodes, or ingress of metal particles between the anode and cathode, which leads to damage of the separator); violation of operating rules (improper charging: exceeding the maximum permissible voltage, charging at high currents); germination of lithium chains through the separator; overheating of the battery from external sources. There are specified the classes of fires typical for combustion of lithium-ion batteries. There are given various extinguishing agents used for the most effective and quick decrease of the battery cell temperature as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The laboratory installation and test procedure have been developed to determine the extinguishing capacity of a liquid extinguishing agent when extinguishing lithium-ion batteries. A diagram of a laboratory installation for determining the extinguishing capacity of the extinguishing agent when extinguishing lithium-ion batteries is given. According to this method during the test the temperature readings are constantly monitored. The time from the start of extinguishing to the moment of stopping the flame combustion of the batteries in the model hearth and the time from the moment of stopping the flame combustion to the moment when the temperature inside the model hearth does not exceed 90 °С are recorded. The consumption q of the liquid extinguishing agent is also determined. According to the developed methodology, tests of the liquid extinguishing agent will be carried out. On the basis of FGBU VNIIPO EMERCOME of Russia there are being developed fire extinguishing agents and means of their supply for extinguishing lithium-ion batteries. The directions for the development of fire extinguishing agents and means of their supply for extinguishing lithium-ion batteries have been determined.

Ilya Repin: From Raising to Resurrection
Authors:   The Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of Arts, Yudenkova Tatiana V.
Published: December 2022

The diversity of topics and ideas in the art of Ilya Repin (1844–1930) has long been seen as a result of the artist’s changeability, the inconsistency of his views and the suddenness of his creative talent. Therefore, it is important to show the integrity of Repin’s artistic world and to discover a certain foundation for his professional activity. This article traces the artist’s path from the early academician work “The raising of Jairus’ daughter” to one of his late paintings, “The Golgotha”. If you try to assess a vast number of Repin’s picture motifs you’ll see that over the whole course of his professional career he was working step by step on the subject of life and death, demonstrating interest in the meanings of human existence. These aspects worried the painter in connection not only with Gospel subjects but also with historical pictures and portraits.

Authors:   Russian Orthodox University of Saint John the Theologian, Barashkov Viktor V.
Published: December 2022

With the growth of the art works ‘exposition value’ (V. Benjamin) in the XX–XXI centuries, the contexts of their perception also change. Non-confessional religious art reveals its relevance in various exposition contexts: in the space of a church and church complex, in urban spaces, in diocesan and art museums. Special spaces for dialogue between church and art are also being created. A comparative analysis of foreign and Russian experience is based on a synchronous search for ways of interaction between art and religion. On the example of the activities of Christian churches, the author shows their recognition of the relevance of the formation of artistic competence.

Dialogue on the turns. Vasily Surikov and “modernism”: relationship сonflict
Authors:   Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts, Russian Academy of Arts, Davydova Olga S.
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the peculiarities of the dialogue which occurred at the turn of the 19th century between the creative searches of Surikov and the newest modernist trends in Russia: from Symbolism of the artists of the World of Art (known in Russian as Mir Iskusstva) group and the Blue Rose (Golubaya Roza) circle to the different stages of the Russian avant-garde – from the Jack of Diamonds (Bubnovy Valet) to Suprematism. The composition of the study is based on the counterpoint of two questions – how Surikov perceived “modernism” and how “modernism” perceived Surikov. The concept of “modernism” in this case is interpreted in the extended sense of the creative search to the early 20th century for unconventional art of magical and plastic means of expression that went beyond the limits of the Itinerant (Рeredvizhniki) Movement’s realism. The collision of relationships is viewed through the prism of the stable plastic and emotional features of the artistic poetics of Surikov himself. That is why the author touches the issues of the artists’s personal understanding of the nature of art and the problems of innovation, which worried him until the end of his life and found expression in the decorative, lyrical and expressive features of the late creative period.
“Don Tenorio”. Anatoly Chechik’s Flashtheatre. The digital memory of the past in the visual discourse
Authors:   Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts, Russian Academy of Arts, Koroleva Anastasia Yu.
Published: December 2022

Our contemporary Anatoly Chechik is one of the so called “clever” artists. His creations always contain cultural memory of the past and require deep and extensive intellectual background from the viewer for the understanding of semantic aspects of the artwork. The article considers the representation of Don Juan Tenorio – one of the eternal images of the world literature in digital art. In this Flash-theater experience the author analyzes, which of his archetypic traits are outdated and which are still actual. The new technology enables the artist to manipulate the art objects from different epochs and use them as actors of sorts, playing their roles depending on their original content. This way the artist-actionist-protogonist directs the dramaturgy of the action, opening the new meaning and showing the actuality of the eternal in today’s world.
Caravaggio: The Troublemaker and Revolutionary
Authors:   Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts, Russian Academy of Arts, Jakimovicz Alexander K.
Published: December 2022

Caravaggio (1571–1610) chronologically opens (or prepares) the new stage of art history known as Modernity. He must be finally ranked among the troublemakers – the aesthetic and socio-cultural rebels of this era. This idea belongs to Russian art historians Evsey Rotenberg and Marina Sviderskaya and explores Caravaggio’s artistic development from early stages of “nasty anecdotes” to mature works on biblical themes treated in a challenging manner.

Authors:   State Tretyakov Gallery, Musyankova Nadezhda A.
Published: December 2022

The complex and ambiguous relations between Russia and Finland at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries were reflected in the cultural sphere, in particular, at the exhibitions of the most “pro-Western” art association of Russia “Mir Iskusstva” (World of Art). The image of Finnish nature, created at the “Mir Iskusstva” (World of Art) exhibitions, revealed the poetic charm of the natural, dim beauty of the northern landscape, which has common features with the Central Russian landscape. He contributed to the formation of a common cultural integrity, allowing researchers to talk about the uniform features of the northern version of the Art Nouveau style, common to both Russian and Finnish art.
Alexander Benois on the Russian art of the 18th century
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Karev Andrey A.
Published: December 2022

Alexander Benois, like other critics and art historians directly or indirectly associated with the World of Art association, stands at the origins of the discovery of Russian 18th century art culture as a full-fledged creative heritage. In this sense, the views of Benoit and his associates were in opposition to the opinion, prevailing in the second half of the 19th century, that Russian art, starting from the Petrin time and, practically, until the crisis of classicism, represents a break in development and a sad example of senseless imitation of the West. This idea was clearly expressed in the works at the turn of the century, which is especially noticeable in the works of A.P. Novitsky and V.V. Stasov. To this opinion Benoit opposes his concept, based on the recognition of the high importance of art as such, regardless of the value of its official functions. This found a vivid embodiment in his works “Russian Painting of the 19th century” and “The Russian School of Painting”, where A.N. Benois gives a succinct and expressive description of the visual language of Russian and foreign masters of portrait, landscape and historical painting. While recognizing the Russian art of this time as essentially pan-European, he nevertheless does not ignore the problem of national specifics.
On the issue of early painting by Vladimir Tatlin
Authors:   Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts, Russian Academy of Arts, Kochkin Sergey A. ,   State Research Institute for Restoration
Published: December 2022

The article puts forward the thesis about the need for additional substantiation of the dating of a group of paintings by V.E. Tatlin from the RGALI collection (Moscow), presumably attributed to the end of the 1910s. For the first time, a hypothesis is formulated about the possibility of their creation at the end of the 1920s, so a number a number of pros and cons are considered. As a result of the study of technical and technological aspects, the existing datings of the paintings “Still Life with Melon” and “Lily of the Valley Leaves in a Jug" were corrected. Also on the radiograph of “Still Life with Melon” compositional changes were found, bringing the work in its original version closer to the composition of Mikhail Larionov’s painting “Leaves of lettuce squash”.

Painter and Sculptor in 18th century Russia Issues of Interaction
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Karev Andrey A. ,   Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts, Russian Academy of Arts
Published: December 2022

Consideration of the interaction issues between painter and sculptor in 18th century Russia is perceived as part of the connections between painting and sculpture in the Age of Enlightenment. The way in which society values the importance of different kinds of art was passed on to their representative artists themselves. Since the beginning of the 18thcentury, new opportunities for cooperation developed, including in secular decorative theme, where muralist and sculptor-decorator were co-authors of the visual part of the ensemble. With the opening of the Academy of Fine Arts, the issues of hierarchy of the most notable arts and the professional mission of representatives of each of the types of fine arts became essential. At the time, manuals and art treatises dealt with ways to resolve tasks common to painter and sculptor, the need for joint efforts to reproduce convincing examples of heroism for the sake of Russian Glory and virtuous existence.
“Rural festivities” of Ivan Tankov
Authors:   State Tretyakov Gallery, Usacheva Svetlana V.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the works of Ivan Tankov (Tonkov), whose oeuvre remains a mystery in the history of Russian painting of the last third of the 18th century. The content of the artist’s creations, called “rural festivitiesˮ, has not yet been deciphered, as their stylistic features go beyond the mainstream development of the landscape genre. The connection of Tankov’s paintings with the manor culture and everyday life of a country estate suggests as the primary sources of the artist’s pictorial fantasies: the theatrical performances in the Demidovs estates Sivoritsy and Taitsy, located not far from St Petersburg. Comparison of the works by Tankov and by his contemporary, the landscape painter Semion Shchedrin, shows the stylistic multidirectionality of the landscape genre in the era of classicism. Romantic tendencies in scenery painting are intertwined with traditions of a bucolic landscape. The article concludes that in Tankov’s works pictorial models and real-life impressions are fused together in the spirit of Baroque art.

Published: December 2022

The article is dedicated to such phenomenon as transformation of the “thing” in post-medium condition of contemporary art space based on the graphic series of 2015–2021 by Nikita Alekseev that can be called “Dying drawings”. A brief overview of the “thing” transition from an object to performativity in the art of the XXth century through Rosalind Krauss theory is given. Seriality, fiction and documentation became the main existential factors for the art objects in post-medium era. The way graphic drawings possess simultaneously material and temporary properties is shown.

Floral decoration of Novy Koichuk-Koy estate and Pavel V. Kouznetsov’s artistic strategies
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Sokolov Boris M.
Published: December 2022

The article discusses the pictorial system of Pavel Kuznetsov, the leading master of the Blue Rose association, and its changes in the context of his work at the Crimean estate Novy Kuchuk-Koi in 1908–14. The art objects (photographed by the author in 2002 and 2021) show the artist's transition from the poetics of ghostly visions to clear and contrasting forms typical for Avant-Garde art. The mosaics, ceramics and frescoes of the estate reveal the experience in creating cyclic, closed composition specific for Kuznetsov’s paintings and graphic works. However, in the dialogue with the garden and the mountain landscape new, more energetic variations of the previous themes arise. In assessing Kuznetsov's artistic search the poetic characteristics of his work given by art historian A.M. Efros in his “Profiles” (1930) are taken into consideration.

Determination of English Self-Efficacy Beliefs of Sports Sciences Students
Authors: ÇAĞLAR ERDOĞAN Seyhan
Published: December 2022

This study considers exploring self-efficacy beliefs of students from the Faculty of Sports Sciences by focusing on their awareness in four skills (reading, listening, speaking, writing) in foreign language learning. Most of the studies in language learning examine students from language classes, and correspondingly, language learning studies with other students from other disciplines are less researched. Emphasizing the prominence of students’ own beliefs and the impact of the beliefs in learning English as a target language, the study focuses on two research questions: first, what self-efficacy beliefs of students from the Faculty of Sports Sciences have on four foreign language learning skills, and second, to what extent there is a meaningful difference between demographic variables and students’ self-efficacy beliefs in achieving English four basic skills. The scarcity of the researches of learning English in sports discipline in Turkish universities and the observation of the anxiety and demotivation of students from sports departments inspired the researcher to investigate the connection between demographic features and self-efficacy beliefs. To achieve the objectives, both quantitative and qualitative methods have been applied. The findings displayed that Sports Sciences students mostly regard English as a course but not a communication tool to be needed in their future, and the students have more positive beliefs of self-efficacy in reading in English. Furthermore, while gender, class, and previous English experience variables do not have significant effects on English self-efficacy beliefs, the significant differences were determined with the department, father’s education level, mother’s education level, and English course grade variables.

Aim: In the present study, the author presents the answers to the questionnaire used in the research “Educational-Methodological Development of Police Officer Training”. The aim of my research is to examine the didactic methods used in police training and its development. The questions in the questionnaire were placed in the Microsoft Forms Office application and the author sent thelink to the target people.Methodology: The research consists of the author’s own educational experience, a historical overview of police training, an international perspective, the practice of other Hungarian bodies, document analysis, a questionnaire survey and interviews.Findings: The respondents are the heads and subordinates of the public order service branch, as well as the teachers, trainers and police students of the institutions dealing with police training, a total of 1421 people. From the large number of respondents and the responses, it can be concluded that the renewal of police training is timely and that practice orientation needs to be increased. Three-quarters of the respondents learned Police Tactics, based on which they drew their opinions from their own experiences. It can be concl uded from the responses that the teaching method used in the subject of Police Tactics, developed and introduced in the second half of the 1990s, should be extended to police training, which greatly facilitates the integration of police students into different service positions. The number of situational exercises should be increased and the use of smart tools should be included in training. Based on the opinions of the respondents, it is possible to model and teach the knowledge required for police work in modules.Value: The answers to the questionnaire suggest that the didactic methods used in the training of police officer need to be changed. The development of a new didactic method may be the subject of further research. Applying a new didactic method to police officertraining would mean a paradigm shift.

Nitrifying carriers can provide good settle ability and stable removal efficiency for nitrogen. Models for ammonia removal rate for nitrifying carriers will improve its engineering application. This study was conducted in nitrifying coal ash system with Monod model. Results indicated the maximum NH4+-N removal rate and half-saturation constant of NH4+-N in Monod model were 110.48 mg/L and 59.19 mg/L, respectively. Introduction of the correction coefficients, including pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, decreased the average gap between experiment data and simulated data from 6.48 to 2.74 mg N/(L·h). And improved accuracy of the Monod model by 5.11%. The differences between experiment and simulated NH4+-N removal rate ranged from 0.08 mg N/(L·h) to 8.34 mg N/(L·h) when the influent concentration of NH4+-N increased from 443.18 to 1121.29 mg N/L and without organic. Only 0.08% inconsistency between experiment and simulated data occurred in treating wastewater with high-strength ammonia. However, NH4+-N removal rate of the nitrifying coal ash was inhibited about 40% when influent with averaged 173.19 mg COD/L and 37.20 mg N/L, therefore, other factors, the content of nitrifying bacteria for example, need to be introduced into the Monod model when treating organic wastewater.
