The paper considers the methods of formation and the components of the general professional competencies in the context of Mathematics teaching as set out in the scientific and pedagogical literature, identifies the main characteristics of OPK-1 and OPK-2 and the need to determine their components. Scientific novelty is accounted for by the expansion of the theory of competence-based learning and the development of the structure of future ecologists’, marine biologists’ and technologists’ general professional competencies in the context of Mathematics teaching at university. The result of the study is as follows: the components of the general professional competencies formed in the learning process and accepted as learning outcomes in Mathematics teaching have been identified (cognitive, activity-related and professional). In addition, the features of formation of these components have been characterised, the types of activities in which they manifest themselves and performance indicators have been outlined.
Semantic parameterization of vocabulary as a means of identifying verbalization of culture-significant semantic zones in Russian and German (by the example of the lexico-semantic field “Friendship”)
Authors: Epifanova Valentina Valerjevna
Published: September 2023

The paper demonstrates the results of analysing the Russian and German lexemes and phrases included in the semantic field “Friendship” from the standpoint of their semantic parameterization based on the apparatus of lexical functions-parameters (in the terminology of I. A. Melchuk and A. K. Zholkovsky). The aim of the research is to create an algorithm for semantic parameterization of Russian and German vocabulary compiling a list of the equivalent parameters forming the semantic field “Friendship” in the analyzed languages. The author consistently compares Russian and German lexemes and phrases, distributed over 37 semantic parameters, to establish the equivalence or divergence of the content communicated by them, draws conclusions. The scientific novelty of the research lies in demonstrating a model for matching words and their combinations within semantic fields based on semantic parameters combining lexical functions-parameters of several lexemes included in a particular semantic field. This approach makes it possible to identify the key semantic zones verbalized in each language, helps to penetrate deeper into the linguistic consciousness of the native speakers of a particular language, contributes to a more detailed study of the semantics of words, identifies the semantic zones that are “not expressed” in the languages in order to find (if necessary) ways to fill these gaps. As a result of the research, it is the first time that the lists containing the linguistic units that verbalize the semantic parameters of the “Friendship” field in Russian and German have been compiled, the main ways of their verbalization in each language and usage examples have been provided.
Negation of German polar words and expressions in automated analysis of text tonality
Authors: Glushak Vasiliy Mikhaylovich
Published: September 2023

The aim of the study is to describe various groups of negative words in the German language and the features of their functioning in text tonality analysis in the framework of automated natural language processing (NLP). Scientific analysis focuses on the ability of negative words to modify polar words and expressions, i.e., to change their connotation within an utterance. The study is novel in that it is the first to present in a systematic manner the syntactic-morphological relationship between certain groups of linguistic units of negation and polar words, which must be taken into account in NLP when carrying out sentiment analysis of German texts based on lexico-grammatical rules. As a result, all German language means of negation were divided into groups depending on the extent of their impact on the polar words in the sentence: tonality modification for only the adjoining polar element or the ability to interact with the parts of an utterance that are located at a distance of several tokens. For automatic tonality analysis of German texts, it is necessary to mark the morphological and syntactic features reflecting the peculiarities of both the selected groups of negation words and polar words and expressions at the stage of feature extraction.

Authors: Stopolyanskiy O.V.
Published: September 2023

Objective — to identify risk factors associated with the development of Tuberculosis-Associated Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (TB-IRIS) in HIV-infected patients with central nervous system tuberculosis. The analysis assessed the relationship between the risk of develo­ping TB-IRIS with neurological manifestations and the following factors: 1) viral load before antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation; 2) CD4+ lymphocyte of blood before ART initiation; 3) duration of antituberculosis therapy before starting ART; 4) presence of active tuberculosis at the time of ART initiation.
Materials and methods. 112 cases of neurological TB-IRIS were analyzed. These patients were treated and observed during the 1 year in anti-tuberculosis facilities in Kyiv and Kyiv region in 2017—2021. All patients received ART in accordance with the HIV treatment protocols adopted in Ukraine. Treatment according to the standard of tuberculosis treatment adopted in Ukraine. The logistic regression model construction method was used to analyze. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using free software — the EZR package (version 1.61; https://www.jichi.ac.jp/).The study was carried out as part of the applied research work 0121U107800 «Predicting the development of the incidence of tuberculosis in Ukraine in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic», funded by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
Results and discussion. After calculations, two factor signs were identified, associated with the of deve­loping TB-IRIS with neurological manifestations: the baseline level of CD4+ lymphocytes in 1 μl of blood at the beginning of treatment and the presence of active tuberculosis at the time of ART initiation.
Conclusions. It was found that the risk of developing TB-IRIS with neurological manifestations is significantly associated (p < 0.05) with the following factors: 1) the level of CD4+ lymphocytes in 1 μl at the beginning of treatment; 2) presence of active tuberculosis at the time of ART initiation.
Colour Design of Personal Security Concepts
Authors: Krasnyanskaya Tatyana , Tylets Valery , Iokhvidov Vladimir
Published: September 2023

The active use of the colour decoration of human life has not yet been accompanied by examining its presence in the personal security concepts of various subject categories. Meanwhile, personal security concepts are mental structures that integrate subjective representations, needs, values and attitudes in the security field and, therefore, determine a person’s daily activity and actions in special situations. The aim of this paper is to study the colour design of university students’ personal safety concepts. The research methods are an associative experiment and a conversation. The work uses the results of 9 series of experiments conducted from 2018 to 2023 on 1313 university students. Based on the study results, using colour in designing students’ personal safety concepts is confirmed. Colour design is more in demand when constructing personal danger concepts than personal safety concepts. In personal safety concepts, green, blue and white are more often used, in personal danger concepts such colours as red, black and grey are more frequently applied. In designing personal security concepts, not only “pure” colours are employed, but also “mixed” ones, as well as shades of colour perception. Colour design is more likely to be traced in personal security concepts of a generalised level (personal concepts of security / danger) than in specialised concepts (personal concepts of information and psychological security, personal concepts of security in life, in a profession, etc.). The presented materials expand the scientific understanding of personal security concepts. They can be used in the practice of environmental management of human life to promote its security, comfort, and safety. A more targeted study of the colour perception features from positions relevant to the interests of building personal security concepts by various subject categories is required.

Etiología del maltrato a residentes de medicina desde la teoría de la violencia simbólica
Authors: Pérez Garcia Rosario , Pérez García Manuela
Published: September 2023

La organización en los servicios de medicina hospitalaria se caracteriza por su jerarquización, donde la diferencia de conocimientos y de estatus entre directores médicos, jefes de servicio, médicos especialistas y residentes conlleva implícitamente una dinámica de poder generadora de maltrato. Según la teoría simbólica de Bourdieu el entramado que subyace al maltrato está formado por la violencia simbólica que se materializa en unas relaciones complejas en las que cada uno conoce su posición jerárquica y no la cuestiona. Pero está violencia simbólica es experimentada de forma inconsciente, donde el maltrato se percibe como una actitud que forma parte de un orden establecido donde el maltratador y el maltratado actúan sin cuestionar el maltrato y perpetuando el modelo heredado históricamente. Para erradicar el maltrato a los residentes es preciso tomar conciencia de la fundamentación simbólica del maltrato que lo legitima y perpetua para desenmascarar la relación entre el maltratador y el maltratado, proponiendo un nuevo marco relacional basado en el respeto y el diálogo.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an immune-mediated disease that presents with dysphagia and esophageal bolus obstruction and is characterized by predominant intraepithelial eosinophilic infiltration at histology. The aim of our literature review was to delineate clinical and morphological EoE features in terms of differential diagnosis with other esophageal diseases, i.e., gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), autoimmune diseases, and rare esophageal disorders. Clinical features of dysphagia and esophageal bolus obstruction and endoscopic criteria (according to EREFS) are typical of EoE. Nevertheless, eosinophilia of the esophageal mucosa is not a specific marker of mucosal injury and is not sufficient for EoE diagnosis. Therefore, eosinophilic esophagitis histological scoring system (EoEHSS) was developed. It involves assessment of intraepithelial eosinophilic infiltration, basal zone hyperplasia, eosinophilic abscesses, eosinophil surface layering, dilated intercellular spaces, surface epithelial alteration, dyskeratotic epithelial cells, and lamina propria fibrosis. Complex clinical, endoscopic, and histological evaluation allows accurate diagnosis of EoE and other causal factors of esophageal eosinophilia.

Published: September 2023

The question of the genotoxic effect of nanomaterials, including carbon-containing ones, is of concern, since mutations of critical genes can cause carcinogenesis. One example of the potential carcinogenic effect of carbon-containing nanomaterials is multi-walled carbon nanotubes MWCNT‑7, classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a possible human carcinogen. The purpose of the study is to substantiate methodological approaches to assessing the genotoxicity of industrial carbon-containing nanomaterials. Methods. Methodological approaches were developed based on experiments in vitro to assess the toxicity of MWCNTs Taunit-M and SWCNTs TUBALLTM in BEAS‑2B and A549 human respiratory system cells. In the study, two tests, MTS assay and LDH assay, which evaluate different mechanisms: a violation of metabolic processes in cells and damage to cell membranes, were used to determine the cytotoxic properties. Genotoxicity was assessed using the DNA comet assay. Results. Study planning begins with determining the concentration range for in vitro studies, taking into account occupational exposures. The cytotoxic range for the studied types of CNTs was determined using two tests. Genotoxicity was assessed at non-cytotoxic concentrations of CNTs corresponding to industrial exposures, 0.0006 μg/mL with incubation for 72 hours; the results of the DNA comet assay showed no signs of CNT genotoxicity against BEAS‑2B and A549 cells. Conclusion. The evaluation of CNT genotoxicity is carried out using the DNA comet assay at non-cytotoxic concentrations of CNTs with an experiment duration of at least 72 hours after obtaining data on the range of CNT cytotoxic effects evaluated using at least two tests.

Published: September 2023

The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) and Hogan Developmental Survey (HDS) are among the most widely used and extensively well-validated personality inventories for organizational applications, however they are rarely used in basic research. We describe the Hogan Personality Content Single-Items (HPCS) inventory, an inventory designed to measure the 74 content subscales of the HPI and HDS via a single-item each. We provide evidence of the reliability and validity of the HPCS, including item-level retest reliability estimates, both self-other agreement and other-other (or observer) agreement, convergent correlations with the corresponding scales from the full HPI/HDS instruments, and analyze how similarly the HPCS and full HPI/HDS instruments relate to other variables. We discuss situations where administering the HPCS may have certain advantages and disadvantages relative to the full HPI and HDS. We also discuss how the current findings contribute to an emerging picture of best practices for the development and use of inventories consisting of single-item scales.

Published: September 2023

Objective: the objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics of content posted on Instagram® by periodontists in ColombiaMethods: This study analyzed Instagram accounts of Colombian Periodontists for professional use. A non-probabilistic convenience sample of accounts that met inclusion criteria was selected. Data collection included general information, geographic location, number of followers, number of publications, privacy of the account, profile, and type of publications. Statistical analyses were performed to establish relationships between variables, and the Chi2 test was used to analyze the distribution of categorical variables. Logistic and linear regression analyses were used to determine correlations, and the engagement rate was calculated for the most popular publication. Statistically significant differences were assumed when p≤0.05.Results: 201 Instagram accounts were evaluated. Men had a higher average number of publications than women, and a higher percentage of mixed content. The majority of accounts were business profiles, with the most common type of publication being image/video. Women's posts received more likes and comments than men's, and non-professional publications received more likes on average. For women, reels produced the most interactions. Non-professional content produced the most interactions. The most frequent type of content was professional, while the least frequent was value-oriented content. Women had a higher mean engagement rate (p<0,05). There was a negative overall trend between followers and engagement rate.Conclusions: Colombian periodontists primarily use Instagram for business reasons. However, personal content receives more interactions, and gender appears to have an impact on engagement rate.
Use of immunology in news and YouTube videos in the context of COVID-19: politicization and information bubbles
Authors: George Rachel Surrage , Goodey Hannah , Russo Maria Antonietta , Tula Rovena , Ghezzi Pietro
Published: September 2023

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic propelled immunology into global news and social media, resulting in the potential for misinterpreting and misusing complex scientific concepts.Objective. To study the extent to which immunology is discussed in news articles and YouTube videos in English and Italian, and if related scientific concepts are used to support specific political or ideological narratives in the context of COVID-19.Methods. In English and Italian we searched the period 11/09/2019 to 11/09/2022 on YouTube, using the software Mozdeh, for videos mentioning COVID-19 and one of nine immunological concepts: antibody-dependent enhancement, anergy, cytokine storm, herd immunity, hygiene hypothesis, immunity debt, original antigenic sin, oxidative stress and viral interference. We repeated this using MediaCloud for news articles.Four samples of 200 articles/videos were obtained from the randomised data gathered and analysed for mentions of concepts, stance on vaccines, masks, lockdown and social distancing, and political signifiers.Results. Vaccine-negative information was higher in videos than news (8-fold in English, 6-fold in Italian) and higher in Italian than English (4-fold in news, 3-fold in videos). We also observed the existence of information bubbles, where a negative stance towards one intervention was associated with a negative stance to other linked ideas. Some immunological concepts (immunity debt, viral interference, anergy and original antigenic sin) were associated with anti-vaccine or anti-NPI (non-pharmacological intervention) views. Videos in English mentioned politics more frequently than those in Italian and, in all media and languages, politics was more frequently mentioned in anti-guidelines and anti-vaccine media by a factor of 3 in video and of 3-5 in news.Conclusions. There is evidence that some immunological concepts are used to provide credibility to specific narratives and ideological views. The existence of information bubbles supports the concept of the “rabbit hole” effect, where interest in unconventional views/media leads to ever more extreme algorithmic recommendations.

Ekobójstwo. Ku nowej kategorii międzynarodowego prawa karnego
Authors: Nowak Ewa
Published: September 2023

The article presents the assumptions of the most recent international criminal legislation on ecocide, its legal definition as the fifth crime against humanity, its relation to the international and national regulations already in force, and, finally, its implications for the domestic criminal law system. The new type of offence is about to be introduced into the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The author shows a number of rationales to justify an appropriate revision of domestic criminal law. Further, she points to the Nuremberg Clause, in which Łukasz Pohl identified an indisputable normative safeguard for the application of international criminal norms to perpetrators of unlawful acts against humanity in case the national legislature would not update the criminal law. The research was carried out by analysing historical (Rafał Lemkin) and current theoretical-legal and philosophical-legal sources, as well as through a dogmatic analysis of legal acts, and, finally by using an exemplification of ecocide as a crime against humanity due to severe and irreversible destruction of the natural environment.
Aging anxiety and beliefs about exercise in middle-aged women
Authors: TEKİN Nedim , AYDIN Adeviye
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to determine the levels of aging anxiety in middle-aged women who exercise and their beliefs about exercise. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study and 221 middle-aged women were contacted. For data collection, a “Personal Information Form”, the “Aging Anxiety Scale for Middle-Aged Women”, and the “Exercise Health Belief Model Scale” were used. It was found that aging anxiety varied according to age, education level, employment status, and the number of years of exercise. It was determined that as women’s general health scores increased, their physical weakness scores decreased. A positive correlation was found between beliefs about the vulnerability of not exercising and the aging anxiety score. The physical weakness score which is a subscale of aging anxiety had a significant effect on the score of beliefs about the vulnerability of not exercising and explained 13.7 % of the total variance. It has been determined that the mental health of middle-aged women is affected by the exercise they perform. It should be provided to make exercise a habit in the lives of middle-aged women and to improve their physical and mental health by organizing exercise programs.
STUDY OF INFLUENCE OF IMPULSE PROCESSES IN TRANSFORMER WINDINGS.

The article examines the existence of uneven voltage distribution under the action of transient voltage, which is the main cause of insulation breakdown of power transformers. In fact, the winding of the power transformer has no tap and cannot be directly used to measure the impulse voltage. The study of pulse voltage distribution measurement is important and practical in engineering. The voltage distribution for the isolated neutral, when the current does not flow through the winding ipr = 0, occurs according to the exponential dependence, and the amount of overvoltage is equal to the initial voltage on the winding of the transformer, which decreases. When the induced voltage is varied along the winding of a transformer with an isolated neutral in steady state, the entire winding takes the same potential with respect to ground and the steady voltage is a straight line. It follows that in the case of an insulated neutral, the end of the winding must have the same insulation as the beginning. The change in maximum voltage is presented when U0 changes in the range from 550 kV to 850 kV. In the work, the change of U0 from values (550-850 kV) to 0 V was studied, with the length of the coil wire x=l= 100 m. Thus, in both cases, it is not difficult to determine the sum of the amplitudes of individual harmonics at any point of the winding. During the development of self-oscillations, the voltage exceeds the set value, and tends to decrease the frequency of self-oscillations. On the basis of the conducted research, transient overvoltage distributions in the transformer windings were calculated. These results will be useful for designers to evaluate the resistance of transformer insulation to transient voltages and further optimize the graded longitudinal insulation. Transient overvoltage distributions in transformer windings are modeled. It was concluded that the impulse voltage distributions in the transformer windings are mainly related to the high-frequency components of the winding voltage.

Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is a 17 amino acid endogenous opioid-like neuropeptide (Meunier et al. 1995; Reinscheid et al. 1995) that activates a G-protein coupled nociceptin opioid peptide receptor.
A Case Report of a Thrombectomy of Internal Jugular Vein Tumoral Thrombus of Follicular Thyroid Cancer Origin
Authors: Assaf Sarah
Published: September 2023

Intravascular tumor extension of a thyroid cancer is a rare but life-threatening condition. We report herein the case of a 66-year-old female patient with follicular thyroid carcinoma and an internal jugular vein (IJV) tumor thrombus. The patient had undergone a thyroidectomy at our institution and presented with left-sided swelling of face and neck. An MRI showed a thrombus within the left IJV, a finding confirmed by US. During surgery, a left IJV tumor thrombus was identified and excised followed by venous reconstruction. The pathological examination confirmed a follicular thyroid carcinoma. The patient received postoperative treatment with 150 mCi of 131I, followed by thyroid-stimulating hormone suppression therapy with thyroxine. Although the fibrous capsule prevents the tumor’s invasion into the surrounding structures, the presence of a tumor thrombus carries a poor prognosis.
A Case Study on Mental and Behavioural Disorders Due to Multiple Drug Use and Use of Other Psychoactive Substances (Icd F19)
Authors: Thomas Sannet
Published: September 2023

Psychosis is associated with schizophrenia, which is primarily associated with severe impairments. And it has an impact on how other aspects of our lives, including work, family, friends, and education, operate (WHO, 2022). A person's behavior and brain are both affected by substance use disorder. It results in an inability to manage the use of a drug or medication, whether it is legal or illicit. The patient, who was diagnosed with a substance use disorder similar to schizophrenia, was the subject of this qualitative investigation. This study adopted a single-case study design. The data were collected by using a mental status examination questionnaire, and the data were analyzed by content analysis. The study participant was a 22-year-old male who has been educated in logistics management and is self-employed. The participant was an inpatient at a private mental health center. This study found that mental and behavioural disorders due to multiple drug use or other psychoactive substances can be managed through cognitive-behavioural therapy, aversion therapy, family therapy, outpatient rehabilitation, inpatient rehabilitation, and pharmacotherapy. This study also provides an insight into how schizophrenia compares to substance use disorder in terms of symptoms, causal factors, and management plans.
Case Report of New Technique for the Repair of Iatrogenic Femoral Pseudoaneurysm
Authors: Habib Mohammed
Published: September 2023

Femoral artery Pseudoaneurysm was caused at the puncture site of the right groin after diagnostic coronary angiography. Manual compression for 48 hours was administrated but failed then balloon tamponade was attempted for hemostasis at the aneurysmal site but hemostasis was not achieved. Next, using contralateral anterograde approach was use to cross the wire from the neck of the pseudoaneurysm and ipsilateral retrograde approach by direct puncture of the pseudoaneurysm was tried. A 0.014-inch guidewire was crossed from the neck of the pseudoaneurysm to the external iliac artery. The wire was replaced with a 0.035-inch guidewire. A star close device was inserted and was deployed at the neck of the pseudoaneurysm. Final angiography revealed completion of hemostasis.
