The linear coefficients of heat transfer of the nodes of the window block to the external walls are analyzed, the values of which are recommended by the existing regulatory framework. It is noticed that the existing design of the junction is not energy efficient enough. An improved method of constructing the node of the window block to the outer wall to increase the thermal resistance, which is protected by a utility model patent, is proposed. Reduction of heat loss is achieved by installing a layer of aerogel insulation at the junction of the wall to the window unit, on top of which is applied thermal insulation plaster. Based on the simulation of the window unit adjacency unit to the outer wall in the DAMWERK software package, the energy efficiency analysis of the proposed design of the window unit adjacency unit to the outer wall as a "cold bridge" was performed.

Another aggravation of the ecological and economic situation in Ukraine makes it necessary to develop new efficient technologies for processing and use of industrial man-made waste from the heat and chemical industries. Such technologies should ensure their maximum degree of use in the production of high-quality efficient construction products. The choice of technology for the preparation, processing and use of industrial waste depends on such factors as their chemical-mineralogical and particle size distribution and method of production. Although such wastes are mostly used as aggregates, their overall use remains low. The share of their use in the manufacture of construction products is 5-12%, and the manufacture of products requires additional energy consumption. The paper considers the possibility of using industrial waste not only due to their activation, but also due to the use of their multifunctional properties. When the inactivated ash is introduced into the concrete mixture, it increases the plasticity of such a mixture and at the same time the microfiller promotes the formation of a stronger contact zone by increasing the degree of crystal chemical similarity of tumors. Excessive amounts of ash in ash-containing materials lead to increased porosity and reduced rate of accumulation of strength over time, which impairs performance, including frost and corrosion resistance. Large-scale use of phosphogypsum is hindered by its specific features: physical state, high humidity, the presence of phosphoric and sulfuric acid and water-soluble harmful compounds of phosphorus and fluorine. Therefore, before using phosphogypsum, it is necessary to remove or neutralize harmful impurities and reduce the concentration of acid residues. Harmful impurities can be bound and acid residues can be neutralized by adding quicklime to the solution. Lime simultaneously neutralizes acids and binds water-soluble harmful impurities. The most effective method of using phosphogypsum, fly ash and fine powders of steel sludge SHH-15 is the integrated use of such waste, resulting in a complex metal-ash-phosphate binder (MАРВ).

Published: July 2021

During the reconstruction of the school building in Khmilnyk, Vinnytsia region, in order to create an inclusive resource center, it is necessary to replace the existing wooden floor. The floor of a building is a horizontal load-bearing structure created between two vertical rooms to separate them in height. At the same time, it serves as a floor for the upper room and as a ceiling for the lower room. Therefore, it is important to select a more modern reliable version of the floor, the technology of which will meet the limitations and requirements that arise in the reconstruction of public buildings. The main selection criteria are: simplicity of technology and speed of installation of the floor without additional material, energy and labor costs and without the use of cranes or large mechanisms; the possibility of both complete replacement of the floor and replacement of only certain damaged areas; relief of the load from the floor on the existing structures of the building; ensuring the necessary strength, rigidity and reliability of the floor; excellent heat and sound insulation properties with high fire resistance and environmental friendliness; compressed conditions for construction and installation work. Floors used for the reconstruction of buildings should combine a number of advantages and allow the necessary communications and repairs to be carried out without interfering with the existing structural scheme of the building. Modern technologies of prefabricated monolithic floors combine the advantages of traditional prefabricated and monolithic floors, but at the same time without their disadvantages. A number of technological solutions to facilitate the construction of the floor and the simplicity of its installation and subsequent operation allow the use of such floors for the reconstruction of existing buildings. The article analyzes the existing system of covering the school building, provides pre-design solutions for the replacement of the floor and attic, identified their shortcomings. Modern prefabricated monolithic floor systems are considered. The main elements are light metal or reinforced concrete beams with a spatial steel frame, hollow or lightweight blocks, reinforced monolithic slab, which is poured on the site after the installation of beams and blocks.

Authors:   Vinnytsia National Technical University, Shvets V. , Maksimenko M. ,   Vinnytsia National Technical University
Published: July 2021

A heat-insulating tile consisting of a back, side and front wall made of extruded expanded polystyrene and a polymer-sand mixture has been developed. Inside there are two unventilated air layers, separated by a heat-reflecting screen. In order to exclude cold bridges, the thermal insulation tile is made of two parts, offset in the horizontal direction. Fixing of tiles among themselves is carried out by means of occurrence of ledges on the top face of one tile with hollows on the bottom face of another. This type of joining plates ensures the absence of cold bridges and facilitates their installation. The problem is solved by the fact that in the facade thermal insulation panel containing the front, rear walls, side faces and locking elements in the form of protrusions and recesses arranged in a checkerboard pattern, and made with the possibility of mounting, the front and rear walls form a frame with a cavity , filled with insulating material, characterized in that the locking elements are placed on the front faces of the frame. Shielded layers of air are used as heat-insulating material. The frame of the panel is made of polymer-sand material, and for its fastening use an adhesive solution. This is achieved by making a panel of polymer-sand frame, in the middle of which there are shielded air layers, which provide resistance to heat transfer and infrared radiation of the material.

Ocular infections vary greatly in severity. Studies have tried to identify certain patterns related to the ocular microbiome in the studied populations in order to identify risk populations, new treatments and prophylaxis guidelines. However, it is critical to determine which antibiotics should be used in various situations and where alternatives to antibiotics are appropriate. Results of many studies show that high levels of antibiotic resistance in ophthalmology and multidrug resistance continue to be a reality and a challenge today. Iodine-povidone and chlorhexidine are two major antiseptics used in ophthalmology. It is hoped that future reports show good results without the use of antibiotics will encourage ophthalmologists to limit the use of topical antibiotics, reducing the rate of antimicrobial resistance.

Magnesium (Mg) is one of the most important cations in the organism, essential for regulating vascular tone, cardiac rhythm, and endothelial functions. In patients with advanced stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) Mg deficit was associated in various studies with vascular calcifications and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Patients with CKD frequently have hyperparathyroidism, parathormone (PTH) being an important risk factor for vascular calcifications. Increased serum Mg levels inhibit PTH secretion and stimulate left ventricular hypertrophy, while low serum Mg levels stimulate PTH secretion. Correcting Mg de deficiency results in reduced cardiovascular mortality in these patients.

Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection is among the most common infections found in the human population. It is acquired during childhood and persists whole life if not treated. It is commonly found in the elderly, disadvantaged persons, people in general with poor socio-economic status. H.pylori infection may associate iron deficiency due to defective iron take-over from the diet. The objective of this study, on the causal relationship between H.pylori infection and iron deficiency with/without anaemia, was the evaluation of haematological parameters (haemoglobin, haematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, sideraemia, ferritin) in patients diagnosed with active H.pylori infection and iron deficiency. Out of 681 patients admitted during a period of 5 years in the Focşani Military Hospital with active H.pylori infection, 9.4% (64 patients) presented iron deficiency with/without anaemia, as a cause of H.pylori infection. Of these, 12 patients (18.75%) have normalized their hematological parameters 3 months after triple therapy. Another 25 patients (39.07%) with iron supplements associated, responded favorably to 6 months, more pronounced than the control group of 27 patients (42.18%) who received only iron preparations without triple therapy. The study highlights the need to investigate H.pylori infection in patients with iron deficiency with/without anemia. In this situation, eradication therapy is required.

There are several possibilities for repairing a nerve defect. These include nerve grafting, tissues for bridging, biological or synthetic nerve conduits. Such conduits, alone or filled with different tissues or substances, may be the key for a major breakthrough in the modern treatment of nerve defects. The easiest way to research these new methods is by experimental in vivo research on live animals – such as the Wistar rats. The following article aims to compare 4 different types of repairs for nerve defects: the nerve graft, a biologic nerve conduit (rat aorta), rat aorta with platelet rich plasma and rat aorta with stem cells.

Authors: Javed Noveen , Shakil Ezzah , Beenish Fiza Ali
Published: July 2021

The present paper aims to analyze John Donne's poem "The Good-Morrow" stylistically. Being a branch of applied linguistics, Stylistics scrutinizes the literary and non-literary texts in terms of their tonal and linguistic style. Donne's poem, being rich in hyperboles and conceits, depicts the universal theme of undying love where Donne welcomes new dawn and is optimistic for upcoming years of adoration and is exuberant over the magical union of two soulmates. The paper in hand adopts the stylistic analysis as a research methodology to unveil the basic theme of the poem and analyses the poem on the grammatical, phonological and graphological levels. The theoretical framework incorporates the main tenets of Geoffrey N. Leech (1969) from his well-known work "A Linguistic Guide to English Poetry", and also this work focuses on the notions of Mick Short (1996). Stylistic analysis of the chosen poem portrays how the poet, via the use of striking stylistic devices, communicates the central concept of the poem and how the poet has adorned the poem with various elements of style on the levels of grammar phon and graphology.
The Organization of Power in Roy's The Ministry of Utmost Happiness: A Foucauldian Reading
Authors: Laghari Raheela Hameed , Khan Muhammad Asif , Shaheen Aamer
Published: July 2021

The present study aims to highlight the role of power in Arundhati Roy's The Ministry of Utmost Happiness through the ideas given by Michel Foucault. Roy discusses various power centers present in contemporary Indian society, which institutionalize the suppression faced by various characters in the novel on the basis of their caste, religion, social class, or political affiliations. The study intends to expose the dissection of these power centers active in society as the non-linear trajectory of power. The characters of Anjum, Tilo, Musa, and Revathy face suppression to the point of marginalization. This leads them to subvert the power structures of the society by resisting against them, thus negating the linear hierarchy of power.
Memory for Text: The Relationship between Form and Meaning
Authors: Saleem Amjad , Umer Muhammad
Published: July 2021

A linguistic sign, according to Saussure (1966), is a combination of a signifier (form) and a signified (meaning). Form without meaning is just half of the sign. Although in some situations surface forms are excellently retained in memory over time, in most circumstances, explicit long term memory for the surface details or memory for forms of long-past linguistic events is poor or non-existent. Taylor (2012) and Port (2007), however, have proposed that there may be implicitly accumulated memory traces for all aspects of the language— nothing is thrown away. In the present study, 'form refers to physical properties or surface features such as the orthographic, phonological and acoustic representations of a text, while 'meaning' refers to semantic properties, including contextual and pragmatic information. There are some curiosities about their relationship, which this paper will tease apart. The curiosities relate to how language is processed, represented and retained in different circumstances.

Regarding the ancestral and direct objects of non-violent crime against the sexual integrity of a minor
Authors: Khryapinskyy Petro
Published: July 2021

The article analyzes the current state of the study of ancestral and direct objects of crimes against sexual freedom and sexual integrity of a person. The conclusion about the contradiction of some views of scientists on the content and interaction of sexual freedom and sexual inviolability as objects of criminal justice is substantiated. The position on the content of sexual inviolability as a universal social and biological condition and object of criminal legal protection, which has a multilevel social legal regulation (protection) and is distinguished: a) value, b) regulatory, c) medical, d) information and e) physical levels of sexual integrity. The problem of the relation between sexual freedom and sexual inviolability as objects of criminal protection in the doctrine of criminal law is resolved controversially. The established doctrinal provisions and their own views on the subject of the study, as well as the criminal legislation of Ukraine, which stood for the protection of sexual freedom and sexual inviolability of a person, an attempt was made to redefine the generic and direct objects of non-violent sexually assaulting crimes. minors. Relations with the absolute informational (mental) and physical (physical) sexual integrity of a minor are, first of all, protected by criminal legal means. These relationships are in the plane of the generic object, are its component part and form a homogeneous formation in the form of sexual inviolability of the person with other elements. Certainly, the allocation of information (mental) and physical (physical) components of sexual integrity of a minor is to some extent conditional. It is impossible to negatively affect the physical integrity, not to touch its mental component. Conversely, the mental impact on sexual integrity is bound to adversely affect physical integrity. The physical component of sexual integrity is harmed in all cases of sexual abuse of the perpetrator with the victim, which have many forms of sexual manipulation with the victim's body. Equally socially dangerous is sexual misconduct of a minor by talking cynically, displaying pornographic and erotic content, etc.

Drugi dio rada pruža uvid u neuroznanstvena istraživanja koja razmatraju i potvrđuju ulogu obaju procesa u moralnome rasuđivanju. Glavna su područja mozga uključena u moralno rasuđivanje prefrontalna moždana kora, cingularna kora, amigdala i inzula. Uz navedena se područja aktiviraju i područja sljepoočnoga i tjemenog režnja moždane kore koja se povezuju s teorijom uma. O njihovim se funkcionalnim doprinosima raspravlja, a mnogobrojna istraživanja ukazuju na to da se u podlozi moralnoga rasuđivanja i odlučivanja nalaze kognitivni, emocionalni i motivacijski mehanizmi.

Water denitrification by displacement biofiltration: transition of designed biofilter to the stationary mode
Authors:   Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Gevod V.S. , Chernova A.S.
Published: July 2021

This work was aimed at creating a simple and reliable submersed biofilter for the decentralized treatment of nitrate-contaminated water. Denitrification of water was performed by the method of displacement (piston) biofiltration in specially designed U-shaped devices intended for residential use. The efficiency of biofiltration in these devices was evaluated under the conditions of their continuous service. The biofilter exhibited an essential increase in the rate of denitrification when transferring to the stationary mode. Hence, the consumer will have the opportunity of supplying big portions of nitrate-contaminated water into the biofilter in one gulp (pulse) and simultaneously getting the same amount of deeply denitrified water. This mode of biofilters exploitation prevents the clogging of the filtration bed and the channeling in it. The design of the created biofilters is rather simple. Materials with a minimum carbon footprint can be used to fabricate these devices.
Inhibition of steel corrosion by some Schiff and Mannich bases: a theoretical evaluation
Authors:   Bursa Technical University, Gece G.
Published: July 2021

There is no doubt that the value and importance of using computational methods in corrosion science are becoming gradually recognized. Drilling deeper into the thought that certain molecular electronic descriptors such as ionization potential, electron affinity, HOMO–LUMO gap and dipole moment matter, because they present a unique solution to comprehend the inhibition properties of corrosion inhibitors, leads us to a further quandary. The reliability of such parameters is the subject of acrimonious debate, and thus, the present study is an extension of this attempt to contemplate earlier experimental results reported for some Schiff and Mannich bases as corrosion inhibitors for steel in neutral aqueous solutions by using density functional theory calculations. Due to the sources of uncertainties like the structure of the molecular model, the description of environmental efforts and errors related to the nature of quantum chemical methods, it was inferred that no coherent picture could be emerged about the corrosion inhibition properties of the studied compounds through calculated descriptors.

The article describes the results of experimental studies on kinetics of the filtration drying of corn distillery stillage, which has previously proven its effectiveness in drying other crops and various dispersed materials. The experimental data are presented in the form of graphical plots describing the change of material moisture over time depending on the temperature of the drying agent (60, 70, 80 and 900С) and the layer height (40, 80, 120 and 160 mm). The obtained results are analyzed and the changes that occur on the filtration drying curves depending on the change in the material layer height and drying agent temperature are described. It is shown that the filtration drying time of alcohol distillery stillage increases with increasing the material layer height. It is determined that the drying potential remains constant at the same parameters of the drying agent. It is shown that the rate of moisture removal during the filtration drying does not depend on the material layer height. It is found that the average residual moisture of corn alcohol distillery stillage is 3.140.06 wt.%; this value satisfies industrial needs for an increase in its shelf life and the possibility of long-term storage and transportation.

An increase in the consumption of petroleum products in the transport and energy systems and intensive development of some branches of industry (especially petrochemical industry and oil refining) results in the accumulation of numerous waste in the form of waste oils, oil sludge and other oily liquids. The problem of waste disposal can be solved by using oily liquids as fuel for combustion at thermal power plants in order to produce thermal and electrical energy. To study the rheological characteristics of oil-water-coal emulsions based on anthracite with the solid phase concentration of 40%, an oil phase with the concentration of 49% (motor oils Motul 8100 X-cess 5W-40 and Comma Xtech 5W-30), water (10%) and nonionic surfactant (1%) as an emulsifier-stabilizer. It was found that the rheological characteristics of oil-water-coal emulsions depend not only on the granulometric composition of coal, but also on the viscosity of the dispersed medium (motor oils). Physicochemical and service properties of oil-water-coal systems under consideration allow using them as fuel. Given the availability and relative cheapness of feedstock, this type of fuel can successfully compete with traditional types of liquid fuels.

The article discusses an approach to teaching robotics in high school in the context of distance learning. It is proposed to organize work within the framework of an educational project under the conditions of dividing schoolchildren into teams, building a tree of project goals, determining a specific result at each stage, constant interaction of participants using virtual tools to regulate the workflow, using a service for simulating electronic devices in real time. The indicated conditions were formulated on the basis of the experience of organizing the project activities of tenth graders in the framework of teaching the elective course "Robotics" at the Lyceum 39, Nizhny Tagil. It is concluded that the joint work of schoolchildren on an educational project is a solution to compensate for the lack of interpersonal communication, gaining practical experience in a situation of forced self-isolation.

Introduction: Serotonergic system hyperactivity at 5-HT2A receptors on glutamate neurons in the cerebral cortex is one of the pathways that is theoretically linked to psychosis. In addition to neurotransmitter dysfunction, volumetric studies have revealed the loss of cortical gray matter and ventricular enlargement in patients with schizophrenia, although there is no case-control research on patients with schizophrenia to evaluate echogenicity of raphe nuclei (RN) or diameter of the third ventricle (DTV). To address these issues, the present study assessed midbrain RN, as the main source of brain serotonin, and DTV, as an index of atrophy, by transcranial sonography (TCS) in a group of patients with schizophrenia. Methods: Thirty patients with schizophrenia and 30 controls were assessed by TCS for RN echogenicity and DTV. TCS was done through a temporal bone window via a phased-array ultrasound using a 2.5 MHz transducer in a depth of 14-16 cm. RN echogenicity was assessed by a semi-quantitative visual scale and DTV was measured in the thalamic plane. Results: Twenty-three patients (76.5%) and 15 controls (50 %) showed hypoechogenicity of RN, which was marginally significant (P=0.06). DTV was on average larger in the experimental group (0.388 cm vs 0.234 cm, P<0.001). Conclusion: Increased DTV in patients with schizophrenia is consistent with previous neuroimaging findings. However, marginally lower echogenicity of midbrain RN on TCS in schizophrenia is a new finding that supports the serotonin hypothesis of schizophrenia.
