Published: July 2022

Background: West Nile virus is an infection that is most commonly caused by infected mosquito bites, however, blood transfusions, organ transplants, breast feeding, pregnant mother-to-the-fetus transmission, and occupational transmission among laboratory and medical staff are also the less common routes of infection. Given the endemic nature of this virus in the Middle East, the aim of this study was to investigate the presence of this virus in regular blood donors, as the reliable source of blood supply needed for patients in hospitals.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, venous blood samples were collected from 259 regular blood donors referred to the Blood Transfusion Organization of Kurdistan. After separating blood serum, the amount of IgM and IgG antibodies against West Nile virus was measured via ELISA test.
Results: Concerning antibodies, IgG and IgM against West Nile virus were positive in 14 patients (5.4%) and 3 patients (1.2%), respectively. Seropositive IgG levels were observed in 11 patients over the age of 40 (12.5%) but only in 3 patients under 40 years of age (1.8%). The difference was statistically significant (OR = 7.95; 95% CI: 2.16–29.32; p < 0.01).
Conclusion: Given the value of blood and blood products obtained from regular blood donors for therapeutic purposes and the significant prevalence of the virus and considering the presence of cases with positive IgM, it seems necessary to screen blood donors in blood transfusion centers in the western parts of Iran.

Authors: Adebari Oloyede Olufemi , Adelaja Lamina Mustafa
Published: July 2022

Background: The study aims to establish the pattern of fetal heart rates in the first and second trimesters and determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in the first-trimester fetal heart rate (FHR) of males and females.
Methods: This retrospective observational research is a study of FHRs measured at 11+0–13+6 wk and 18+0–23+6 wk, and ultrasound scan-diagnosed fetal sex at 18+0–23+6 wk. Singleton fetuses with nonambiguous external genitalia were recruited. The FHR was measured in B or M mode with Pulsed Wave Doppler, while ultrasound appearance of external genitalia determined the fetal sex at 18+0–23+6 wk. Student’s t-test and Chi-square test were used for data analysis, and statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
Results: A total of 2437 pregnancies meeting the study criteria were analyzed. The fetal sexes were 1398 (57.4%) males and 1039 (42.6%) females. There was no statistically significant difference in the first-trimester FHR between males and females (p = 0.74). However, females had higher mean FHR in both the first and second trimesters (First trimester: 165.4 ± 18.2 bpm vs 163.2 ± 17.1 bpm and Second trimester: 150.9 ±22.6 bpm vs 141.9 ±23.1 bpm). The FHR reduces with the increase in gestational age.
Conclusion: There is no statistically significant difference in the first-trimester FHRs between sexes.
Short Spinous Process of Cervical Vertebrae in a Sudanese Subject: A Case Report
Authors: Rezigalla Assad , Ali Abdelrahman
Published: July 2022

Introduction: The spinous process is part of the vertebrae and provides muscle attachment for some muscles and ligaments. They are important landmarks and play a role in screw placement during surgical intervention. This report describes a case of a Sudanese with a short cervical spinous process and draws attention to the possibility of anatomical variations in general and the shortage of cervical spinous processes specifically.
Case Report: A 70-year-old Sudanese male presented to the emergency department following a road traffic accident. After standard management and patient stabilization, the X-ray showed that the spinous processes of C 3, 4, and 5 cervical vertebrae were short, and those of C 6 and 7 have abnormal anatomy. The inter-spinous distances were well-maintained. The joints and articulations processes of cervical vertebrae were normal without cortication. The patient was stable and admitted for 24 hr for observation and then discharged on analgesics.
Conclusion: This is the first case report of the short spinous process among Sudanese. Some of the cervical spinous processes were short, and others had abnormal anatomy. No obvious manifestations were linked to the case. Discussion of anatomical variations should be carried out and implemented with care and in line with the normal and latest developments in biological, anthropology, forensic, and related sciences. Such anatomical abnormality should be considered during radiographing, preparation, and surgical intervention planning. The normal adaption resulting from congenital abnormality or variation can be used as a method for reconstruction surgeries and provides alternatives to clinical management.

LEGAL EXPERT IN COMMERCIAL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS
Authors: Dyachenko S. V. , Korniychuk S. L.
Published: July 2022

In order to unify the economic, civil and administrative processes in 2017, changes were made to the Commercial Procedural Code of Ukraine, the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine and the Code of Administrative Proceeding of Ukraine. New participants have appeared in all lawsuits, but most in the business process. Following the 2019 presidential election, the directions of judicial reform were reconsid¬ered. Among the proposed amendments to the Commercial Procedural Code of Ukraine is a proposal to recognize as evidence the opinion of a legal expert. In our opinion, resolving this issue is key to fully determining the procedural status of a legal expert. Involvement of a legal expert is used whenever the court needs to interpret the law by a qualified professional. The main purpose of a legal expert in court proceedings is to provide legal assistance-consultation, drawn up in the form of a written opinion, within the limits and in the manner prescribed by the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine, namely on issues requir¬ing special knowledge in international law and doctrinal interpretation rights and practices of its application. Today, legal (judicial) practice does not produce a single model of such a procedural docu¬ment as an expert opinion in the field of law, and therefore use slightly modified by legal professionals standardized forms of forensic examinations that grossly violate the integrity, structure, methodology, textual logic, regulations and compliance of the conclusion with the requirements of the legislation defined in the procedural legislation. It is concluded that the involvement of a legal expert has certain advantages over other ways of establishing the content of foreign law. In particular, according to the time of obtaining the information necessary for further consideration of the case in court, this path is shorter than other paths defined by the Law of Ukraine “On Private International Law”. At the same time, it should be noted that the issue of impartiality and competence of a legal expert, etc. remains open.Also, for a comprehensive settlement of relations concerning the participation in the trial of a legal expert, in our opinion, the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine should provide a rule that the court must make a separate court decision if it finds that the legal expert gave a false conclusion, for example , on the content of foreign law.

Authors: Santos Fábio José Brito dos
Published: July 2022

Este artigo objetiva analisar a formação identitária da religiosidade no município de Gurupá – Pará, tendo como base a atuação europeia na evangelização e imposição da doutrina Católica Apostólica Romana, empregando imagens sacras e tradicionais da igreja cristã. Por conseguinte, a convergência com a crença africanizada, provocada na época escravocrata, fomentou vertentes da arte, musicalidade e ferramentas comumente originárias da matriz negra, modificando o formato festivo das celebrações, ocasionando uma consoante sincrética ao longo de séculos de história. A metodologia consiste em um estudo bibliográfico, carregando consigo referências sólidas, desenvolvido com uma etnografia de objetos e ferramentas presentes nas manifestações sagradas, visto que a observação também foi imprescindível nas inferências do pesquisador. Os resultados pontuaram uma forte fusão eurafricana, que estão presentes harmoniosamente em toda conjuntura das principais festividades do catolicismo em Gurupá, assim como uma correlação com outras religiões do campo afro-brasileiro.

Published: July 2022

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar a experiência de duas mães de crianças menores de cinco anos com desnutrição internadas no Hospital do distrito da Massinga em Moçambique (África), visando problematizar as questões da realidade em que se encontram. Trata-se de um trabalho observacional de relato de casos, descritivo com delineamento qualitativo. Os dados foram coletados em 2021 pelo nutricionista clínico responsável da pesquisa por meio da metodologia de itinerário terapêutico, a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas de acordo com um roteiro guia de perguntas abertas com duas mães, na qual uma mãe tenha realizado o aleitamento materno e a outra não. A seleção foi aleatória de acordo com os critérios de inclusão do estudo, como ser mãe de uma criança menor de cinco anos com internação por desnutrição. Os dados foram transcritos e codificados preservando a identidade das entrevistadas para posterior organização em uma linha do tempo e ideias centrais. A partir do itinerário terapêutico foi permitido conhecer as vivências das mães moçambicanas e suas dificuldades com a saúde materna e da criança. Como a responsabilização pela alimentação da criança e a falta de orientações do serviço de saúde quanto ao aleitamento materno e a introdução alimentar da criança. Os resultados sugerem a existência da falta de uma rede de proteção suportada por políticas públicas adequadas e a importância dos conhecimentos tradicionais, ressaltando a pesquisa qualitativa para o conhecimento de realidades.
CRIANDO RITUAIS: capoeira, literatura infantojuvenil negra e outros saberes como instrumentos de socialização de crianças
Authors: Silva Ayodele Floriano , Caldas Alan
Published: July 2022

Este trabalho relata processos educacionais ocorridos entre uma pedagoga com grande interesse na literatura infantil, um sociólogo formado nas práticas da capoeira angola e um grupo heterogêneo de crianças de 4 a 12 anos frequentadoras de uma organização não-governamental na cidade de Itirapina, SP. Nesse processo foram combinados saberes acadêmicos como a pedagogia e a sociologia com saberes não acadêmicos como a capoeira angola e a literatura. O resultado foi a construção de uma série de pequenos rituais que, por sua vez, constituíram um espaço de socialização que trouxe segurança psíquica para as crianças expressarem sua subjetividade de maneira cooperativa e não violenta. No que tange ao saber sociológico e pedagógico, esses rituais foram construídos a partir dos aportes teóricos da sociologia da infância, sobretudo da categoria de processos de socialização, dentro dos quais a criança é considerada um agente ativo em seu tornar-se pessoa. Os resultados apreendidos a partir dos relatos das crianças e de observações diretas, mostram um aumento significativo no relacionamento intersubjetivo baseado na cooperação.

Authors: Lima Jelly Juliane Souza de , Gambim Júnior Avelino
Published: July 2022

Especificamente nas fronteiras entre Brasil e Guiana Francesa, onde está localizado o município de Oiapoque, no estado do Amapá, destaca-se a presença de comunidades negras invisibilizadas que procuram reconstituir a história da ocupação do território onde vivem como forma de luta, em decorrência dos conflitos de terra com a sociedade envolvente. Neste artigo apresentamos um relato de experiência de historiadores em campo e o uso de metodologias alternativas, com o objetivo de contribuir com o registro de informações acerca da história do território da comunidade quilombola Kulumbu do Patuazinho, formada no processo de migração de um núcleo familiar do estado do Maranhão para o estado do Amapá. Como resultado, a prática da pesquisa histórica permitiu a experimentação de metodologias alternativas e geração de fontes por meio da oralidade e descrições etnográficas. Assim, entendemos que é por meio da oralidade, do cotidiano, das memórias e dos lugares que os quilombolas constroem suas histórias acerca da ocupação do território na fronteira franco-brasileira.
Estetyczne kategorie unikatowości i osobliwości oraz ryzyko ich użycia w kontekście aksjologicznym
Authors: Mróz Jowita
Published: July 2022

Artykuł jest poświęcony „unikatowości” i „osobliwości” – zarówno jako terminom, które funkcjo­nują w ramach dyskursu teoretyczno-estetycznego, jak i wyrazom odgrywającym istotną rolę w języku potocznym. Poza kontekstem estetyki i filozoficznej refleksji nad sztuką są one powszechnie wykorzystywane przez podmioty realizujące zadania z zakresu polityki społeczno-kulturalnej do promowania wydarzeń, zjawisk i obiektów, mimo iż zarówno ich etymologia, semantyka oraz pragmatyka językowa wskazują, że są problematyczne. Mają bowiem w swoje definicje leksy­kalne wpisane wartościowanie, a także nabierają dodatkowej wartości oceniającej w różnych kontekstach. Ponadto, bazując na słownikowych definicjach dostrzec można, że „unikatowość” i „osobliwość” są wyrazami funkcjonującymi w rodzinie semantycznej stwarzają­cej istotne ryzyko zatarcia znaczeń poszczególnych słów, czego efektem jest także niejedno­znaczność w estetyczno-normatywnej ocenie zjawisk opisywanych za pomocą „unikato­wości” i „oso­bliwości”, nawet jeśli ujmowane są ściślej, jako terminy naukowe funk­cjo­nujących w dyskursie teoretyczno-estetycznym. Analiza źródłosłowów, charakterystyka normatyw­nego potencjału „unikatowości” i „osobliwości” oraz wyrazów, które są im pokrewne, a także podkre­ślenie roli kontekstu, w jakim występują, zestawiona z podstawowym ich zna­czeniem w wy­branych językach nowożytnych, pozwoli uwidocznić kluczowe problemy językowe w doświad­czeniu potocznym, ale również wskazać istotne z punktu widzenia zagadnień specjalistycznych różnice terminologiczne.

Published: July 2022

This study aims to respond the regulation of teaching and learning English in higher education. Since there is no clear regulation of what supposed to be taught, some institutions decide different requirement for the teaching and learning English. This study focused on analyzing and evaluating the students’ actual needs in learning English. A quantitative study was conducted toward 113 non-English department students who have taken English subject in an Islamic University in Jambi. This study explored both of the students’ actual needs and experiences of their learning English in the classroom. The results indicate that having the four skills as a part of teaching and learning English in the classroom is important for the students. The students also mentioned that completing their study is not the only reason to learn English. They believe that learning English is a golden key to be a part of world class community.  In spite of mastering reading as the main focus of learning process, the students still face difficulties in understanding the ideas in English since they have limited vocabulary and grammar. They also stated that it is hard for them to get the meaning of what they read because they do not know how the sentences are put together.  As the results, it is suggested that the process of teaching and learning English must be revisited

Authors: Pradini Lolita Indah , Sriatmi Ayun , Fatmasari Eka Yunila
Published: July 2022

Background: Measles Rubella (MR) immunization coverage for schoolers in Semarang City decreased to 92.7% in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in practice, many parents still complain about MR immunization services for schoolers.
Aims: This study aimed to determine parental satisfaction with MR immunization services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This quantitative study used a cross-sectional approach. Purposive and proportional sampling was used to select 102 samples. Data collection was done through questionnaire, and data were analyzed using the chi-square test and importance-performance analysis test.
Results: The lowest suitability dimension level was tangibility (81.52%), followed by responsiveness (86.6%). The reliability dimension had the highest average conformity level (92.87%). The priority items for improvement were related to health workers’ compliance with the use of complete personal protective equipment (PPE), spacious immunization service rooms, registration officers’ responsiveness in giving directions, punctual immunizations distribution, polite and friendly registration services officers, as well as health workers’ initiative to remind parents about health protocols. Bivariate analysis showed there was no relationship between respondents’ characteristics and their satisfaction level.
Conclusion: Parental satisfaction with MR immunization services for schoolers did not match their expectations; therefore, it is necessary to improve future immunization services.

Published: July 2022

The development of a tailored, patient-specific medical and surgical approach is becoming the object of intense research. In robotic urologic surgery, where a clear understanding of case-specific surgical anatomy is considered a key point to optimizing the perioperative outcomes, such philosophy has gained increasing importance. Recently, significant advances in three-dimensional (3D) virtual modeling technologies have fueled the interest in their application in the field of robotic minimally invasive surgery for kidney and prostate tumors. The aim of the review is to provide a synthesis of current applications of 3D virtual models for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy. Medline, PubMed, the Cochrane Database, and Embase were screened for literature regarding the use of 3D augmented reality (AR) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy. The use of 3D AR models for intraoperative surgical navigation has been tested in prostate and kidney surgery. Its application during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy has been reported by different groups as influencing the positive surgical margins rate and guiding selective bundle biopsy. In robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, AR guidance improves surgical strategy, leading to higher selective clamping, less healthy parenchyma loss, and better postoperative kidney function. In conclusion, the available literature suggests a potentially crucial role of 3D AR technology in improving perioperative results of robot-assisted urological procedures. In the future, artificial intelligence may represent the key to further improving this promising technology.

Natural Language Processing Using Neighbour Entropy-based Segmentation
Authors: Qiao Jianfeng , Yan Xingzhi , Lv Shuran
Published: July 2022

In natural language processing (NLP) of Chinese hazard text collected in the process of hazard identification, Chinese word segmentation (CWS) is the first step to extracting meaningful information from such semi-structured Chinese texts. This paper proposes a new neighbor entropy-based segmentation (NES) model for CWS. The model considers the segmentation benefits of neighbor entropies, adopting the concept of "neighbor" in optimization research. It is defined by the benefit ratio of text segmentation, including benefits and losses of combining the segmentation unit with more information than other popular statistical models. In the experiments performed, together with the maximum-based segmentation algorithm, the NES model achieves a 99.3% precision, 98.7% recall, and 99.0% f-measure for text segmentation; these performances are higher than those of existing tools based on other seven popular statistical models. Results show that the NES model is a valid CWS, especially for text segmentation requirements necessitating longer-sized characters. The text corpus used comes from the Beijing Municipal Administration of Work Safety, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Published: July 2022

This article analyzes the perspectives of professional training of the public administration staff, from the viewpoint of the sustainability criteria, starting from the experiences of the online courses run in the last two years.
In order to understand the nature, type and magnitude of the changes caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in the field of professional training for public administration, we performed a survey among public institution employees, by applying a questionnaire. The instrument included qualitative elements, to allow the framing of statistical results.
The article is grounded on the hypothesis that the professional training activities in the last two years were organized preponderantly online and it aims to analyze the sustainability of the new teaching systems/methods.
The limitations of the study are given by the fact that each administrative system has structure particularities and its own legal framework regarding the professional training of public administration staff, what makes that the model proposed cannot be applied in all countries.
The study provides a model of online professional training for public administration staff, sustainable, based on the experience accumulated in the last two years.
Nanostructured Electrospun Polycaprolactone - Propolis Films Composed of Different Morphologies for Potential Use in Wound Healing
Authors: De Figueiredo Agnes Chacor , Mancipe Javier Mauricio Anaya , De Barros Aline Oliveira da Silva , Santos-Oliveira Ralph , Dias Marcos Lopes , Thiré Rossana Mara da Silva Moreira
Published: July 2022

The structure of wound dressing materials presents one of the most relevant characteristics for effective skin tissue repair. Electrospinning is a common technique used to produce polymeric fibres that can mimic fibrillar disposition of skin extracellular matrix, favouring cell migration, and thus regeneration of the damaged tissue. Moreover, beads, also known as by-products of electrospinning, have potential as reservoirs for sustained drug release. Processing parameters, such as molecular weight and viscosity of the polymer solution, can affect the desirable morphologies of electrospun films. Thereby, this work had the purpose of producing and characterized electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) mats loaded with propolis, a popular extract in traditional medicine with potential for skin repair aid. Films with different morphologies were obtained depending on the storage period of the solution prior to the lectrospinning, probably due to the PCL hydrolysis. FTIR analyses of the extract confirmed propolis composition. GPC and viscosity analyses demonstrated that the decrease in molar mass over the storage period was responsible for nanostructure diversity. Propolis acts as a lubricant agent, affecting the spun solutions' viscosity and the thermal properties and hydrophilicity of the films. All films are within the value range of the water vapour transpiration rate of the commercial products. The presence of beads did not affect the propolis release pattern. However, "in vitro" wound healing assay showed that propolis-loaded films composed by beaded fibres increased the cell migration process. Thus, it can be inferred that these films presented the potential for wound dressing application.
Influence of Environmental Parameters and Fiber Orientation on Dissolution Kinetics of Glass Fibers in Polymer Composites
Authors: Krauklis Andrey E. , Aouissi Hani Amir , Bencedira Selma , Burlakovs Juris , Zekker Ivar , Bute Irina , Klavins Maris
Published: July 2022

Glass fibers slowly dissolve and age when exposed to water molecules. Such a phenomenon also occurs when glass fibers are inside fiber-reinforced composites protected by the matrix. This en-vironmental aging results in the deterioration of the mechanical properties of the composite. In structural applications, GFRPs are continuously exposed to water environments for decades (typically design lifetime is around 25 years or even more). During their lifetime, these materials are affected by various temperatures, pH acidity levels, mechanical loads, and the synergy of these factors. The rate of the degradation process depends on the nature of glass, sizing, fiber orientation, and environmental factors such as acidity, temperature, and mechanical stress. In this work, degradation of typical industrial grade R-glass fibers, when inside an epoxy fiber-reinforced composite, is studied experimentally and computationally. A Dissolving Cylinder Zero-Order Kinetic (DCZOK) model was applied and could describe the long-term dissolution of glass composites, considering the influence of fiber orientation (hoop vs transverse), pH (1.7, 4.0, 5.7, 7.0, and 10.0), and temperature (20, 40, 60, and 80 °C). The limitations of the DCZOK model and effects of sizing protection, accumulation of degradation products inside the composite, and water availability were discussed. Experimentally dissolution was measured using ICP-MS. Like for the fibers, for GFRPs also, the temperature showed an Arrhenius-type influence on the ki-netics, increasing the rate of dissolution exponentially with increasing temperature. Similar to fibers, GFRPs showed a hyperbolic dependence on pH. The model was able to capture all of these effects, and the limitations were addressed.

Published: July 2022

This paper discusses modern approaches to finding rational solutions in problems of mixed integer linear programming, both generated with random data and from real practice. The main emphasis is on how to implement the process of finding a solution to discrete optimization problems using the concept of reinforcement learning; what techniques can be applied to improve the speed and quality of work. Three main variants of the algorithm were developed using the Ray library API, as well as the environment - the Gym library. The results of the developed solver are compared with the OR-Tools library. The best model can be used as a solver for high-dimensional optimization problems, in addition, this concept is applicable to other combinatorial problems with a change in the environment code and the intelligent agent algorithm.

Precision motion systems are the core of a wide range of manufacturing equipment and scientific instruments, and their motion performance directly determines the quality and speed of the associated manufacturing or metrology processes. Magnetically levitated precision motion systems, where the moving target is supported by magnetic forces and without any mechanical contact, provide advantages of frictionless motion, vacuum compatibility, and contamination-free operation. These features endow the magnetic levitation technology with the capability to deliver excellent overall performance for precision positioning systems. Through decades of research and engineering efforts, significant advances have been made in the actuation, sensing, design, and control of magnetically levitated precision motion systems. This paper provides an introduction to the fundamentals of the feedback control, actuation, and sensing for the magnetic levitation technology, and provides a comprehensive literature review of various magnetically levitated precision positioning systems developed over the past three decades. The final part of this paper identifies several challenges in the design and control of today’s precision motion systems using magnetic levitation and provides an outlook on the possible directions for future research and development.

The purpose of this study is to examine the patterns and meaning of play experienced by children with disabilities in an inclusive setting that implements a play-centered curriculum. The study participants were three 5-year-old young children with special needs, and the play records of the inclusive classroom teacher and the early childhood special education teacher were collected to explore their play experiences. The analysis of data play records was analyzed based on the comprehensive analysis procedure presented by Lee Dong-Seong and Kim Young-Cheon (2014) and data from Kim Ho (2019)’s play record analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, the play patterns of young children with disabilities shown in the play records were derived as ‘Expression of interests’, ‘Play sharing’, ‘Creation of play’, and ‘Playing roles in play’. Second, the meaning of the play experience of young children with disabilities shown in the play record was derived from ‘Play to learn the world: Play rules’, ‘Play to learn from each other: Peer relationship’, and ‘Fertilizer that strengthens play: Play continuation factors’. This study qualitatively explores the play patterns of young children with disabilities in the inclusive class, which will help early childhood special education teachers in the field to understand the play of young children with disabilities. In addition, it is meaningful in that it uses the teacher’s play records as research data to present the role of the teachers as a practice researcher and examples of practical play records.
Results of geological and geophysical study of the deep structure of Angara and Trans-Baikal mantle plumes and their connection with mineral deposits.
Authors: Kharitonov A. L.
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to consider the issues of geological and geophysical interpretation of the data of balloon and satellite magnetic measurements along the regional profile crossing the territory of the Angara-Baikal region. In order to conduct scientific research along the regional Trans-Siberian geological and geophysical profile A-B the author used various geological and geophysical materials including the magnetic field digital data measured by the MAGSAT artificial Earth satellite and a balloon; data on the values of the electrical resistivity in the mantle of this region; geothermal data; seismic data on the location of earthquake hypocenters in the area of the profile under investigation. The research methods involved multilevel measurements of satellite and balloon magnetic fields, which significantly expanded the possibilities of geological and geophysical interpretation of the data obtained. The conducted study revealed that the geological and geophysical interpretation of multilevel aeromagnetic data allows for a reasonably accurate determination of the location coordinates and lithospheric penetration depth of tectonic faults associated with the Angara and Trans-Baikal mantle  plumes, which are of significant interest in terms of exploration of coal and uranium deposits. The spatial and depth characteristics of tectonic faults obtained from balloon and satellite data are confirmed by a set of analyzed independent geophysical data: magnetotelluric sounding, geothermy, seismology and other geophysical methods. In conclusion it should be noted that the author has demonstrated the application possibility of satellite and balloon magnetic surveys for the study of the deep structure of the Angara and Trans-Baikal mantle plumes. In addition, it was found out that according to balloon and satellite magnetic data, large deep tectonic faults in the lithosphere (Barguzinsky, Ikatsky, Tukolamsky, Tungirsky) can be identified, which also allow marking various subhorizontal boundaries of lithospheric layers in the location area of the Angara and Trans-Baikal mantle plumes using special points of the magnetically active zones of these faults. The practical significance of the conducted research is in the identification of the spatial relationship between the location of the Angara mantle plume and coal deposits of the Irkutsk basin, as well as uranium deposits in the zone of the Trans-Baikal mantle plume.

The purpose of this investigation is to develop an analytical model for predicting the groundwater level rise due to the barrage effect. Processing of a significant volume of production decisions for multiple objects has resulted an analytical model that allows predicting the dynamics of groundwater rise due to the barrage effect when building deep foundation structures. The study has been conducted for the downtown areas of Irkutsk and other cities of Eastern Siberia. Prediction schemes for the groundwater level formation have been made, and an assessment of the study areas by their underflooding conditions has been carried out. Being adequately simple and multi-purpose. The analysis of the research results shows that the hydraulic gradient of the underground water flow and the project structure width have the biggest effect on the groundwater rise. Vertical planning of the territory and the use of pile foundations play a significant role in the formation of the groundwater level. Besides, when evaluating the depth of the underground water formation level and developing the prevention and protection measures, it is necessary to take into account the seasonal rise of the underground waters. The developed model can be applied in the corresponding geological and hydrogeological conditions.

The effective performance of any company is determined by the degree of motivation of its staff. In a pandemic, it is important to explore changes in the values and motivational profiles of staff, especially young people. The aim of the paper is to study the internal motives of millennials and Generation Z, to identify modern motivational tools, taking into account the challenges of an unstable global ecosystem. To assess the changes in the motives for work, a questionnaire was used. The survey was conducted (at the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021) among young people in Kyiv (Ukraine) aged 17-22 (287 people participated), who had previous work experience. All results were proven to be valid. The results of the study showed that changes in the motivational profile of millennials and Generation Z under the influence of restrictive measures due to the pandemic occurred in the range of values of awareness of individuality: motives for maintaining health, balancing life, personal and professional growth came out to be more relevant. Such changes indicate positive opportunities for young people due to high adaptability to changing and unstable conditions, and, on the other hand, they bring challenges for companies – the loss of personnel. The most optimal models will be career-oriented and adaptive with elements of well-being management to motivate millennials and Generation Z.
