Authors: Pratama M. Rizki
Published: June 2021

Management and performance measurement in the public sector are inherently more complex compared to the business sector. Conflicting values such as politics and abstract performance targets make public sector performance management and measurement have distinctive points with different challenges as well. This study aims to describe the various challenges that occur in the context of developing management and performance measurement of the public sector in Indonesia after the implementation of The Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning Civil Servants. The researcher applied a literature study by conducting literature inclusion on two main bases, namely internal and external problems in management and public sector performance measurement. In the end, there are four challenges that must be considered in order to further improve the management and performance measurement of the public sector in Indonesia, namely managing the good and bad impacts of management and performance measurement, managing bias and independence of performance appraisal, managing performance during times of disruption and pandemic and managing the performance of the millennial generation.

Authors: Sabilla Alifa Asta , Kriswibowo Arimurti
Published: June 2021

Jabon District is one of the sub-districts in Sidoarjo Regency which is still facing the problem of high stunting cases. Many factors can cause stunting, low access to nutritious food, vitamins, poor parenting, and low health awareness. The impact arising from stunting is the low quality of human resources, because Not only does it inhibit physical growth (stunted/stunted), but also inhibits brain development and low-thinking ability, thereby inhibiting future demographic bonuses. To overcome this, good governance actors (government, private sector, community) are needed in its implementation. These actors, namely the government of the Sidoarjo Regency Health Service and the Jabon Health Center are collaborating with other actors from the private sector (Perusahaan Gas Negara) and the community (Umsida). This study aims to determine the implementation of the principles of good governance in tackling stunting in Jabon District, Sidoarjo Regency. There are 8 principles of good governance according to UNDP, namely: 1. participation, 2. rule of law, 3. transparency, 4. responsiveness, 5. oriented to consensus, 6. justice, 7. effectiveness and efficiency, 8. accountability, 9. strategic vision. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. The result of this research is that the implementation of principles of good governance has been implemented although there are still some principles that are not optimal. The conclusion of the implementation of the principles of good governance according to UNDP has been implemented and is still ongoing, but the resulting impact has not been maximally felt.

Published: June 2021

The occurrence of forest and land fires in the regions of Riau Province has gradually occurred from year to year which has attracted a lot of attention in various circles and is very worrying, the forest fires that occur need serious handling from various parties, especially the government that has policies. One of the factors in the occurrence of forest fires is the impact of the corporations in the surrounding area itself, so the application and imposition of sanctions against related corporations in order to prevent the occurrence of forest fires in Riau Province. Approximately 300 areas in Riau Province were affected by forest fires in 2015 which were deformed by HTI (Industrial Plantation Forest). The granting of licenses to corporations operating in plantations and forests is more stringent As a form of obligation, the government authorities should immediately revoke the license to operate in the focus of a concession that is experiencing a fire. The results of this study are, in the application of the principle of strategic liability for companies to be responsible for the expansion of forests in the region of Riau Province.

Molecular Interactions at Vapor-Liquid Interfaces Binary Mixtures of Simple Fluids
Authors: Stephan Simon , Hasse Hans
Published: June 2021

Properties of vapor-liquid equilibria and planar interfaces of binary Lennard-Jones truncated and shifted mixtures were investigated with molecular dynamics simulations, density gradient theory, and conformal solution theory at constant liquid phase composition and temperature. The results elucidate the influence of the liquid phase interactions on the interfacial properties (surface tension, surface excess, interfacial thickness, and enrichment). The studied mixtures differ in the ratios of the dispersion energies of the two components ɛ2/ɛ1 and the binary interaction parameter ξ. By varying ξ and ɛ2/ɛ1, a variety of types of phase behavior is covered by this paper. The dependence of the interfacial properties on the variables ξ and ɛ2/ɛ1 reveals regularities that can be explained by conformal solution theory of the liquid phase. It is thereby shown that the interfacial properties of the mixtures are dominated by the mean liquid phase interactions whereas the vapor phase has only a minor influence.
Poisson regression for linguists: A tutorial introduction to modeling count data with brms
Authors: Winter Bodo , Bürkner Paul - Christian
Published: June 2021

Count data is prevalent in many different areas of linguistics, such as when counting words, syntactic constructions, discourse particles, case markers, or speech errors. The Poisson distribution is the canonical distribution for characterizing count data with no or unknown upper bound. Whereas logistic regression is very common in linguistics, Poisson regression is little known. This tutorial introduces readers to foundational concepts needed for Poisson regression, followed by a hands-on tutorial using the R package brms. We discuss a dataset where Catalan and Korean speakers change the frequency of their co-speech gestures as a function of politeness contexts. This dataset also involves exposure variables (the incorporation of time to deal with unequal intervals) and overdispersion (excess variance). Altogether, we hope that more linguists will consider Poisson regression for the analysis of count data.

Genetic Alterations in Chinese Resected Lung Cancer with Invasive Mucinous Adenocarcinoma: Genomic Profiling and Prognostic Value Analysis
Authors: P Rucha , S Vijay
Published: June 2021

Lung invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) is a unique histological subtype with different clinical and pathological characteristics. Despite prior genomic investigations on lung IMA, little is known about the genetic features and prognosis-related biomarkers in Chinese surgically resected lung IMA. IMA showed a distinct genetic profile, with more diversified driver mutations and co-occurrence of tumor drivers/suppressors than non-IMA. From non-IMA to mixed-IMA to pure-IMA, the frequency of EGFR (72.0 percent vs. 40.0 percent vs. 23.1 percent, p=0.002) and ALK (undetected vs. 20.0 percent vs. 26.9%, p=0.015) changes exhibited a trend of steady decline and rise, respectively. KRAS mutations were more common in pure-IMA than in mixed-IMA, however the difference was statistically insignificant (23.1 percent vs. 4.0 percent, p=0.10). Pure-IMA had a lower rate of TP53 mutation than mixed-IMA and non-IMA (23.1 percent vs. 52.0 percent vs. 56.0 percent, p=0.03). Furthermore, IMA had fewer arm-level amplifications (p=0.04) and more arm-level deletions (p=0.004) than non-IMA, with a steady drop in amplification and rise in deletion frequency from non-IMA to mixed-IMA to pure-IMA, respectively. Patients with EGFR mutations (mDFS=30.3 vs. 16.0 months, HR=0.19, P=0.027) and PI3K pathway mutations (mDFS=36.0 vs. 16.0 months, HR=0.12, P=0.023) had longer DFS than patients with poorly differentiated tumors (mDFS=14.1 vs. 28.0 months, HR=3.75, p=0.037) or KRAS mutations (mDFS=13 KRAS mutations, PI3K pathway changes, and tumor differentiation status were all shown to be independent predictors with statistically significant effects on IMA patients' clinical outcomes in multivariate analysis. Our research shed light on the genomics of Chinese lung IMA that had been surgically removed. In IMA patients with stage III illness, we also discovered many genetic characteristics that might be used as indicators for postoperative recurrence.

Precision medicine in refractory metastatic triple-negative breast cancer is enhanced by molecular subtyping and genomic profiling.
Authors: P Rushabh , P Rucha , S Vijay
Published: June 2021

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a very variable disease, and molecular subtyping may enable more precise diagnosis and treatment. Our earlier work categorized TNBCs into four subgroups, each with its own set of potential treatment targets. To assess the effectiveness of these targets, we performed the study, a phase Ib/II subtyping-based and genomic biomarker-guided umbrella study. Patients with refractory metastatic TNBC were enrolled and assigned to one of seven arms: (A) pyrotinib plus capecitabine, (B) androgen receptor inhibitor plus CDK4/6 inhibitor, (C) anti-PD-1 plus nab-paclitaxel, (D) PARP inhibitor plus nab-paclitaxel, (E) and (F) anti-VEGFR plus nab-paclitaxel, or (G The major outcome measure was the rate of objective response (ORR). We included 69 patients with resistant metastatic TNBC who had previously received a median of three lines of treatment (range, 1-8). Twenty-nine (29.0 percent, 95 percent confidence interval (CI): 18.7 percent -41.2 percent ) of the 69 intention-to-treat (ITT) patients obtained an objective response. Our findings indicated that immunotherapy (arm C) had the greatest ORR (52.6 percent, 95 percent confidence interval [CI]: 28.9 percent -75.6 percent ) in the ITT group. Arm E had a good ORR (26.1 percent, 95 percent CI: 10.2 percent -48.4 percent in the ITT group), but was associated with a higher prevalence of severe adverse events (grade 3). Somatic mutations in TOP2A and CD8 immunohistochemistry score may be able to predict immunotherapy response in patients with TNBC classified as immunomodulatory. In conclusion, the phase Ib/II study demonstrated the therapeutic benefit of subtyping-based targeted therapy for refractory metastatic TNBC.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and increased risk of substance use disorder development: an educational module to promote assessment implementation in endocrinological settings
Authors: Sosnoski Olivia
Published: June 2021

Prominent co-morbid relationships exist between substance use disorders (SUDs) and many psychiatric disorders, including conditions such as major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Recent research introduces the idea that substance use disorders may also have physiological co-morbidities, in particular type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A conglomerate of studies suggest increased prevalence rates of tobacco use disorder (TUD), alcohol use disorder (AUD), opioid use disorder (OUD), and cocaine use disorder (CUD) among adults with T2DM, resulting in long-term, diabetes-specific health complications. This study proposes the development of an educational webinar for health care professionals working with T2DM adult populations, to increase baseline education and promote the incorporation of SUD assessments into regular T2DM visits. The efficacy of the educational webinar will be reflected by the participants' change in score from pre- to post-educational survey. The purpose of this study is to increase provider education on co-morbid SUDs and T2DM and to implement relevant assessment for this clinical population. The implications of this study could be significant, as an increase in provider education and assessment implementation can result in earlier intervention, improving the health-related quality of life for adults with co-morbid T2DM and SUDs.
Neural heterogeneity underlying late adolescent reward processing is linked to individual differences in behavioral sensation seeking.
Authors: Demidenko Michael I , Huntley Edward , Weigard Alexander Samuel , Keating Daniel , Beltz Adriene M.
Published: June 2021

Adolescent risk-taking, including sensation seeking (SS), is often attributed to developmental changes in connectivity among brain regions implicated in cognitive control and reward processing. Despite considerable scientific and popular interest in this neurodevelopmental framework, there are few empirical investigations of adolescent network connectivity–let alone examinations of its links to SS behavior. The studies that have been done focus on mean-based approaches and leave unanswered questions about individual differences in neurodevelopment and behavior. The goal of this paper is to take a person-specific approach to the study of adolescent functional connectivity during reward processing, and to examine links between connectivity and self-reported SS behavior in 104 adolescents (MAge=19.3; SDAge=1.3). Using group iterative multiple model estimation (GIMME), person-specific connectivity during two neuroimaging runs of a monetary incentive delay task was estimated among 12 a priori brain regions of interest representing reward, cognitive, and salience networks. Two data-driven subgroups were detected, a finding that was consistent between both neuroimaging runs, but associations with SS were only found in the first run, potentially reflecting neural habituation in the second run. Specifically, the subgroup that had unique connections between reward-related regions had greater SS and showed a distinctive relation between connectivity strength in the reward network and SS. These findings provide novel evidence for heterogeneity in adolescent brain-behavior relations by showing that subsets of adolescents have unique associations between neural reward processing and SS. Findings have broader implications for future work on reward processing, as they demonstrate that brain-behavior relations may attenuate across runs.
Not all depressive symptoms matter equally: Ratings of the relative importance of nine DSM symptoms in a sample of Indian adolescents
Authors: Wasil Akash R , Gillespie Sarah , Park Suh Jung , DeRubeis Robert
Published: June 2021

Background: There is widespread debate about the extent to which western diagnostic criteria for depression are appropriate cross-culturally. A key aspect of this debate involves the extent to which individual symptoms are considered important, impairing, and concerning by individuals in low- and middle-income countries. Here, we describe a novel method to understand the degree to which symptoms of depression are most important to individuals, and we illustrate its application in a non-western sample.Methods: We surveyed 1,237 Indian adolescents (47.8% female, Mage= 14.11). Adolescents received the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, a measure of nine DSM-derived depressive symptoms. For each symptom, participants answered three questions designed to assess the degree to which they perceive the symptom as distressing and impairing. The three scores were averaged to form a Subjective Importance Rating (SIR) for each symptom.Results: Anhedonia received the highest SIR, followed by Sad Mood, Suicidal Ideation, and Feeling like a Failure; Psychomotor Problems received the lowest SIRs. Females reported greater SIRs than males, and older students reported greater SIRs than younger students. There was a non-linear relationship between participants' own depressive symptoms and SIRs.Limitations: Participants were recruited from the general population; findings may not generalize to patients or individuals in other countries.Conclusion: Not all symptoms of depression were viewed as equally important. We discuss how the SIR approach can help global mental health researchers identify specific symptoms that are considered most concerning, evaluate the cross-cultural relevance of western diagnostic criteria, and inform the validation of measurement tools.
Not just what you did, but how: Children care about precision when judging resource distributions
Authors: Jacobs Colin , Flowers Madison , Aboody Rosie , Jara-Ettinger Julian
Published: June 2021

To distribute resources in a fair way, identifying an appropriate outcome is not enough: We must also find a way to produce it. To solve this problem, young children spontaneously use number words and counting in fairness tasks. We hypothesized that children are also sensitive to other people’s use of counting, as it reveals that the distributor was motivated to produce the outcome they believed was fair. We show that children (ages four to six) believe that agents who count when distributing resources are more fair than agents who produce the same outcome without counting, even when both agents invest the same amount of effort. And vice versa, when the same two agents produce an unfair outcome, children now condemn the agent who counted. Our findings suggest that, from childhood, people understand that counting reflects a motivation to be precise and use this to evaluate other people’s behavior in fairness contexts.
Knowing who I am depends on who I've become: Linking self-concept clarity and temporal self-comparison
Authors: Zaw Samantha , Baldwin Matthew
Published: June 2021

The current research examined how temporal self-comparisons influence self-concept clarity. In Studies 1 and 2, we updated and developed new measures of state self-concept clarity, including specific components identified in prior research. In both studies, participants' confidence in their judgments, as well as the consistency of those judgments, was associated with the self-reported state self-concept clarity. Using the new measures, Study 3 found that self-concept clarity was highest when participants engaged in temporal comparisons that focused on positive similarities between their past and present selves and when comparisons highlighted improvement over time. These findings suggest that self-concept clarity is an emergent phenomenon that arises from comparison-based self-evaluations that fit common lay theories about how the self develops over time.
Can Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Help Children be Physically Active? Exploring the Immersive Qualities of Les Mills’ and Marvel’s “Move Like the Avengers” Video
Authors: Budzynski-Seymour Emily , Steele James , Jones Michelle
Published: June 2021

Increasing children’s physical activity (PA) is a key public health concern. Recently there have been calls for more enjoyable PA interventions which focus on ensuring a positive affective response, yet this remains an under researched area. This study explored how using a narrative, characters, and music in a video-led PA session might influence the sense of immersion in the activity, and subsequently impact the affective response. One hundred and thirty-six participants (boys n= 65, girls n= 71) were recruited from both the United Kingdom (UK) (n=108) and outside the UK (n=28) with the majority of the sample (85%) being aged between 7-11 years old. Participants were required to complete the “Move Like the Avengers” PA video created by Les Mills and Marvel, and then complete a survey where they answered questions relating to their post activity affective responses, the use of a narrative with characters, the use of musical elements, and how immersed they felt when engaging. Positive average affective responses were found for children (valence mean score: 3.6 ±2.2, arousal mean score: 5.1 ±1.0) who engaged with the video. Further, structural equation modelling revealed the narrative with characters had little direct effect but did indirectly mediate the valence response through creating a sense of immersion (βstd = 0.122 [95%CI 0.013 to 0.231]; p = 0.012). Musical elements however had both a direct (βstd = 0.449 [95%CI 0.264 to 0.634]; p < 0.001), and an indirect (βstd = 0.122 [95%CI 0.014 to 0.229]; p = 0.011) effect upon valence. Arousal was not influenced by the narrative with characters whether directly or indirectly but musical elements though not having an indirect effect mediated by immersion, did have a direct effect upon arousal (βstd = 0.244 [95%CI 0.006 to 0.482]; p = 0.021). The results suggest that both narrative with characters, and the use of musical elements, led to a positive affective response and that the former effect may be mediated by their potential influence over immersion. Thus, these could be effective elements to include in a physical activity setting with children to support a positive affective response to the experience.

Morphological changes in the tissues of the knee joints of rats in carrageenan-induced experimental arthritis
Authors: Pelypenko O. V.
Published: June 2021

Every fifth inhabitant of the earth has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of various etiologies. Morphological studies of arthritis provide a theoretical basis for creating optimal treatments for this pathology. Given the polyetiological nature of the disease, the choice of the optimal experimental model, which would be as close as possible to the real conditions of inflammatory process reproduction, is the topical issue. The purpose of the study was to confirm the pathological reaction of the joint tissues of laboratory animals in response to intraperitoneal administration of ƛ-carrageenan. The study was performed on 50 white Wistar rats males aged 12 weeks, weighing 130-150 g. The animals were euthanized by an overdose of anaesthesia according to the terms of the study (1 - 30 days). Fragments of the distal metaepiphyses of the femur and proximal metaepiphyses of the tibia were used for histological examination. Staining of sections obtained on the microtome was performed with haematoxylin, eosin, and Van Gieson`s stain. From the first day of the experimental study, a corresponding reaction of the joint tissues was being observed. Particularly pronounced were the changes in the synovial membrane in the form of oedema of the villi accompanied by an increased filling of blood vessels with foci of thrombosis. Gradually, up to 5 days in the synovial membrane, proliferative changes took place with a clear definition of the multilineage of the integumentary layer, vascular reaction with a tendency to thrombosis, in some places necrosis of synoviocytes was observed, but relative integrity of the morphological structure was still provided by protective barriers of bone and cartilage. On the 7th day pronounced resorption of both bone and cartilage tissue occurred, tissue structure became disorganized and functional layer became thin, accompanied by massive intracellular lysis. The process of synoviocytes necrobiosis with fatty degeneration spread. The histological picture of 10 days is characterized by generalized destruction of bone beams; the destroyed cartilage was replaced by granulation tissue with the presence of cavities. Massive foci of lymphocytic infiltration were observed in the synovial membrane. On the 14th day, a fragmentation of cartilage happened, most of the bone beams (trabeculae) were destroyed. After 3 weeks the morphological picture of cartilage tissue was determined by the appearance in the lacunae of viable cells, the number of which was close to normal. Bone beams were restored, although they remained thin. In a synovial membrane, the hyperplasia of apical departments of villi, leukocytes infiltration, disorganization of connective tissue, and separate vascular disturbances remained. 30 days of the experiment were characterized by a relative recovery of structural relationships to normal. The obtained data confirm the feasibility of using carrageenan in experimental studies of osteoarthritis.

To date, the state aviation of Ukraine has an urgent problem of improving the existing system of medical support for flights by introducing measures of psychophysiological support for improving the professional health of military pilots, increasing the duration of their professional longevity and ensuring the safety of flights. That is why, the purpose of our research was to offer a list of strategic directions of scientific substantiation and development of a conceptual model of a system of measures for psychophysiological support of professional activities of military pilots based on an analysis of the problems of its implementation in the state aviation of Ukraine. For this, the methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, induction and deduction, complex and system analysis were used. As a result of the research, it was found that the strategy for introducing a system of measures for psychophysiological support of the professional activities of military pilots should be perceived as a process of improving the existing system of medical support for flights of state aviation in Ukraine on the basis of defining qualitatively new goals and objectives of its functioning, harmonizing internal capabilities with the conditions of the professional environment, development of a set of measures to improve its reliability and efficiency in the long term. From these points of view, the systematic approach to determining the strategic directions of implementation of the said system should be based on the complex of organizational, regulatory, information-analytical, personnel and technological problems. To solve them, it is necessary to conduct research on health assessment of different categories of military pilots, hygienic assessment of conditions and features of their professional activity, selection of a set of informative psychophysiological characteristics and methods of their evaluation, development of mechanisms and criteria for access to flights, regulatory, legal, personnel and organizational bases of functioning of system of measures of psychophysiological support of professional activity of military pilots.

Significant prevalence and decline in quality of life caused by psoriasis in combination with the lack of etiotropic methods of its treatment, put this disease, in terms of relevance for modern medicine on a par with diabetes, hypertension, asthma etc. That is, there is a need to find easily accessible markers that would determine the susceptibility to this disease. The aim of the study was to establish the differences in the skinfold thickness between healthy and/or psoriatic Ukrainian men depending on the severity of the disease without and taking into account the somatotype. For 32 Ukrainian men of the first mature age, patients with mild psoriasis and 68 men with severe psoriasis (according to the PASI index) were determined skinfold thickness according to Bunak and determined the somatotype according to the Heath-Carter scheme. The control group consisted of 82 healthy men of similar age, selected from the database of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. It was found that in patients with mild or severe psoriasis of men without division into somatotypes and in representatives of the mesomorphic somatotype compared to healthy men, the skinfold thickness is significantly higher at the lower angle of the scapula, abdomen and side, and significantly lower on the back and front of the shoulder, chest and thighs. When comparing the skinfold thickness between patients with mild or severe psoriasis of endo-mesomorphic somatotype with healthy men of similar somatotype, we found larger values of the skinfold thickness under the lower angle of the scapula (only with mild course), on the abdomen and side, and also smaller values of the skinfold thickness on the posterior surface of the shoulder and only in representatives with severe psoriasis – on the anterior surface of the shoulder, chest and thigh. Between patients with different degrees of severity of dermatosis both without distribution, and with distribution on various somatotypes of reliable or tendencies of differences of skinfold thickness are not revealed. Thus, there are pronounced differences in most indicators of the skinfold thickness between healthy and patients with mild or severe psoriasis of Ukrainian men of the first mature age, both without distribution and with the division into different somatotypes.

Most Escherichia coli strains are harmless intestinal bacteria of animals, but some are implicated in food infection/poisoning especially Shiga toxin (or Vero toxin) producing E. coli (STEC) due to consumption of meat. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance profile of Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli O157 (STEC) from retailed miscellaneous fish and meat types in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. A total of 256 meat and fish consisting of cow muscles, intestines, rumen-sacs, livers and tails, cat-fish, frozen fish (mackerel and herrings) were examined. Escherichia coli were isolated by enrichment culture cefixime-tellurite sorbitol MacConkey agar (CT-SMAC), morphological, biochemical, serotype latex agglutination and disk diffusion methods. Of the 256 samples, 138 (53.9%) were contaminated with E. coli and 28 (21.7%) E. coli strains were positive for Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli O157 (STEC). Meat muscles had the highest prevalence of STEC (7.41%) among meat samples, followed by rumen-sacs (6.0%), intestines (5.77%), tails (4.0%), and the prevalence of STEC in Fish includes Cat-fish intestine (26.7%), skin (21.4%), Mackerel intestine (26.7%), skin (14.3%), and Herrings skin (15.4%), gill (7.1%). All the STEC assessed indicated multi-drug resistance, with the isolates showing 100% resistant to ampicilin, and erythromycin, nitrofurantoin (95.7%), amoxicilin clavulanic acid (84.3%), sulphamethaxazole/trimethoprim (75%), streptomycin (75%), tetracycline (66.17%), and gentamycin (53.6%). The isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin (66.7%), Cefoxitin (66.7%), amikacin (39.3%), and chloramphenicol (35.7%). The implication of STEC in this study suggests that contaminated meat types are sold to consumers and can result to serious foodborne hazards. Prescription of ciprofloxacin and cefoxicilin are recommended against this organism. Application of good hygienic procedures in meat and fish handling processes and proper boiling before consumption can mitigate the risk of infection due to resistance STEC strains.

Contaminated of soil ecosystem with oil and oil products is one of the most complex and multiplane problem of environmental protection. No other man made pollutant no matter how dangerous it is, can’t compare with oil by the volume of distribution, number of pollution sources, the amount of load on all components of the natural environment during well accidents. Oil spills cause great harm, due to the large migration capacity capturing territories, many times higher than the initial pollution. As a result tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land are polluted, are withdrawn from agricultural turover. Oil-contaminated soils are the sources of secondary pollution of atmosphere and underground waters, having a huge negative ecological impact on flora and fauna. Suffice it to note that only on Absheron oil district several tens of thousand of hectares of land are subject to reclamation. Loss of oil-contaminated lands and rapid degradation of landscapes causes the need to study processes, that stipulate their transformation.
