BACKGROUND:The pathology of upper limb deformities often leads not only to impaired self-ability but may be one of the factors that lead to the development of specific difficulties inachild at various stages of learning. Deficiency of visual-motor integration and/or its subcomponents (visual perception and motor coordination) are the risk factors for academic failure. Children aged 3 years with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and obstetric palsy are have delayed speech development and behavioral disorders, which require correction, including speech therapy atanearly age. AIM:To examine the features of the organization of correctional and developmental education of children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and obstetric palsy, depending on their speech development and motor disorders, and assess the features of speech development of children with obstetric palsy. MATERIAL AND METHODS:From 2020 to 2022, we examined 46 children aged 615 (average age, 9.57 2.91) years with upper limb deformities caused by arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and obstetric palsy. Speech therapy and orthopedic and statistical methods were used. RESULTS:The study included 25 children (54.3%) with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and 21 (45.7%) with obstetric palsy. In addition, 5.09 4.34 procedures were performed for the correction of orthopedic pathology. Most of the patients had mild (n= 17, 36.9%) and moderate (n= 20, 43.5%) functional disorders of the upper extremities, and 30 (65.2%) had problems with hand function. Moreover, 11 (23.9%) children had delayed speech development atanearly age. Speech pathology was detected in 41 (89.1%) children (general speech underdevelopment,n= 20, 43.9%; lexical-grammatical underdevelopment,n= 12, 26.1%; and phonetic-phonemic underdevelopment,n= 9, 19.8%. Dysarthria was the main speech pathology in 25 patients of different age groups (54.3%). Moreover, 18 (52.9%) schoolchildren had impaired writing ability. The speech pathology in patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and obstetric palsy were the same. These groups differed from each other by the form of learning (p 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Children and adolescents with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and obstetric palsy have special educational needs and often need speech therapy assistance taking into account the specific orthopedic pathology.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND:In cerebral palsy, shortening of the triceps muscle of the lower leg leads to impaired coordination and gait and orthopedic consequences that disrupt the quality of life and complicate rehabilitation. Many surgical techniques are aimed at eliminating contractures and restoring ankle joint movements. However, treatment results are not always satisfactory, and the number of complications remains high, such as recurrence of deformation and failure of the tendon suture after tenotomy.
AIM:To analyze the results of calcaneal tendon lengthening plastic surgery with the original tendon suture technique in patients with cerebral palsy complications and consider the features of surgical technique onaclinical example.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:This study describes the lengthening plastic surgery of the calcaneal tendon with the original tendon suture technique performed in four patients with complications of cerebral palsy. The clinical observations of the surgical treatment ofa30-year-old patient with spastic paresis of the triceps muscle of the left tibia were presented. The treatment results were followed from 1 to 12 months postoperatively. The amplitude of active and passive movements in the joints, muscle tone, presence and nature of postoperative complications, and functional outcome were evaluated.
RESULTS:The results 1 year after the operation were evaluated as good in two initially more severe cases and excellent in two cases. In all patients, decreased pain level, restoration of movements, decreased hypertension, and hypotrophy of the triceps muscle of the lower leg were observed, and no complications were noted.
CONCLUSIONS:The results revealed data on the pathogenetic validity of calcaneal tendon elongation in patients with spastic paralysis of the triceps muscle of the lower leg. The proposed original method of surgical treatment ensures the correct anatomical comparison and density of the contact of the tendon ends, reduces the tone of the calf-flounder complex, preserves joint physiological mobility, begins early rehabilitation, and reduces the likelihood of relapse.
“Human tail”: Case reports of coccyx retroposition in children
Authors: Trofimova Svetlana I. , Buklaev Dmitry S. , Murashko Tatiana V.
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND:Ahuman tail isarare congenital malformation that corresponds to the protrusion on the dorsal side of the lumbar, sacrococcygeal, and paraanal regions. This study aimed to demonstrate three rare clinical cases ofatail-shaped formation caused by the protrusion ofanelongated coccyx in children.
CLINICAL CASES:These patients asked for medical assistance for pain felt in the sitting position and daily discomfort because this formation barely contains any tissues other than the coccyx. The patients had no signs of neurological and lower urinary tract insufficiency. In all cases, the retroposition of the coccyx without its typical anterior angulation was determined based on radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs. In one case, the coccyx was represented by four elongated vertebrae withoutatypical decrease in the size of the vertebrae in the caudal direction. In two cases,anangular deformity of the coccyx occurred at the level of CoIIIwith intercoccygeal angles of 138 and 140.
DISCUSSION:The tail-like formations could be classified as pseudo-tails according to the classification by Dao and Netsky (1984) and type Ia human tails according to the classification by Tojima and Yamada (2020).
CONCLUSIONS:The most important feature of tail-shaped formation is the connection with occult dysraphic malformations, which requiresacomprehensive preoperative examination in each case (neurological examination, radiography, computed tomography, and MRI). Careless surgery may lead to serious consequences that significantly impair patients quality of life.
Decoding Predatory Publishing practices for Academia
Authors: Nayanthara S. , Sulochana Anila
Published: July 2023

Predatory or deceptive publishing is still a persistent issue in scholarly communication. A large number of predatory journals are being published, and it is essential to keep them in check as the potential harm they could do to the scientific discourse is enormous. With the Open Science Framework (OSF) project titled "Decoding Predatory Publishing Practices for Academia (DePA)," the authors try to equip users to identify potential predatory journals and endorse ethical and quality publishing. The project will consist of training materials and a rubric developed to examine the quality of an open-access scientific journal by combining the publisher and individual journal aspects. The project includes a rubric consisting of different aspects regarding publication in scientific journals, quantifying the quality of the publishing practices adopted by these journals. Predatory or deceptive publishing is still a persistent issue in scholarly communication. For instance, deceptive publishers could hold the unpublished manuscript indefinitely, and little can be done if the author has signed a copyright transfer agreement. We can reduce the impact of predatory publishers by aiding the scholar community with simple and easy-to-understand devices that help them analyse the journals and publishers themselves. This could be part of the orientation at a researcher’s, library’s, or mentor’s level.
FOLIO: The Future of Library is Open
Authors: Chauhan Satbir , Kandhasamy K. , Sakthivel N.
Published: July 2023

Ranganathan's 5th law of library science says that libraries never become stagnant. While financial constraints are a common challenge for libraries, user expectations are continuously growing. To meet and exceed user expectations, libraries must embrace new technologies and software solutions. Open-source options have proven to be particularly beneficial for nonprofit organizations like libraries. Looking to the future, as libraries continue their digital transformation, many library automation software, especially traditional library management systems (ILS), are becoming outdated. In response to the diverse requirements of libraries, the architecture of Library Services Platforms (LSP) offers enhanced flexibility and functionality within a unified platform. Among the various LSPs that have emerged over the past seven years, FOLIO has demonstrated rapid development and progress. Upon exploration, it becomes evident that FOLIO's developers have prioritized a micro-services architecture, emphasizing apps over modules. This approach provides a comprehensive multitasking app environment, a user-friendly Dashboard for quick access, efficient data management, and much more. The user-friendly nature of FOLIO sets it apart from traditional Integrated Library Systems (ILS), which may lack such ease of use. Despite its abundant features, FOLIO is still relatively under-recognized in India. This paper aims to discuss the distinctive features of FOLIO, it’s potential as a comprehensive solution for libraries, and whether it can effectively replace traditional ILS systems.
Multiwell Fiber Optic Sensing Reveals Effects of CO2 Flow on Triggered Seismicity

Published: July 2023

Induced seismicity is one of the main risks for gigaton-scale geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). Thus, passive seismic monitoring is often recommended as a necessary component of the monitoring systems for CO2 storage projects, with a particular forcus on risk mitigation. We present the first field study, CO2CRC Otway Project Stage 3 (Victoria, Australia), where distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) enabled high-precision tracking of the induced seismicity triggered by a small CO2 injection and also informed the reservoir models. In 610 days of passive seismic monitoring of the Stage 3 injection, we detected 17 microseismic events (maximum moment magnitude Mw 0.1) using five deep boreholes equipped with enhanced-sensitivity optical fiber. The DAS array has sensitivity sufficient for detection and location of induced events with Mw∼−2 in a monitoring borehole located up to 1500 m away. Thanks to the dense spatial sampling by the DAS, we were able to estimate the focal mechanisms for events with Mw>−1.5; although the monitoring boreholes provided very limited angular coverage. The main cluster of the events has the same location and source mechanism as the one triggered by the previous CO2 injection at the Otway Project site, Stage 2C. Surprizingly, the Stage 2C and Stage 3 events closely followed the actual movement of the CO2 saturation plume front (not the pressure front), as observed using controlled-source reflection seismic images. The nature of the plume-fault interaction remains unclear, but some alteration of the fault gouge by CO2 might be responsible for the faults’ reactivation by the pressure perturbation. Importantly, the seismogenic fault could not be identified in the seismic images and was only revealed by DAS observations, which also demonstrated the signature of fluid–rock interaction, that may control the CO2 flow.

Published: July 2023

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a polyethological disease. CSC is one of the few eye diseases for which the relationship between the occurrence, course of the disease and patient psychosocial characteristics has been demonstrated including personality traits and the level of external stress factors. Excessive stimulation such as stressful living conditions, exogenous factors and personal predisposition can lead to CSH. The disease often occurs against the background of acute or chronic stress. Patients with central serous chorioretinopathy are characterized by certain personality traits i.e., type A personality, including a tendency to overachievement, competition, perfectionism, and a sthenic desire to maintain professional status. At the same time, insomnia and sleep apnea, depressive and anxiety states, post-traumatic stress disorder and alexithymia, high blood pressure, Helicobacter pylori, autoimmune diseases, psychopharmacological medication, hormone therapy are among the risk factors.

Possibilities of Applying Viscoelastics in Vitreoretinal Surgery
Authors: Petrachkov D. V. , Sidamonidze A. L. , Baryshev K. V. , Shabalina K. N.
Published: July 2023

Viscoelastic substances (VS) are an integral part of modern ophthalmic surgery. This review briefly highlights the main characteristics, classification of VS, their areas of application, and their effect on platelet aggregation. In the scientific literature, little attention has been paid to the use of VE in surgery of the posterior segment of the eye; therefore, the main goal of this review was a detailed presentation of the possibilities and prospects for the use of VS in various pathologies of the retina and vitreous body. In vitreoretinal surgery (VRS), cohesive VS are more widely used due to the ease of their removal from the vitreal cavity compared to dispersed VS. The main disadvantage of using VS is their effect on ophthalmotonus, which requires careful monitoring of the completeness of the removal of VEs from the eye at the end of the operation. The review deals with the use of VE in macular pathology for the purpose of mechanical and chemical protection of the retina when working with a luxed lens or introducing dyes that have a toxic effect on the retinal tissue. In macular hole surgery, VS can be used to stabilize the ILM flap, as well as to prevent subretinal migration of retinal dye. The possibilities of using VS in VRS in pediatric practice for the purpose of viscodelamination of retrolental strictures during vitrectomy in eyes with traction vitreoretinopathy and preservation of the native lens are described. Special attention is paid to the use of VS in the most complex surgical pathology requiring VRS — proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Their advantages have been demonstrated in terms of reducing the time of intervention, which, in turn, reduces the risk of intraoperative complications. The use of the viscodissection technique makes it possible to increase the safety of surgery during the most traumatic stages of the operation: separation of the posterior hyaloid membrane and, in particular, when working with proliferative fibrovascular membranes. The advent of the VS staining method opened up new prospects for the use of viscodissection and viscodelamination techniques.

The purpose: to develop a technology for the surgical treatment of macular retinal tears using an “effective” fragment of the ILM with an optimal shape, size, and localization, and evaluate its anatomical and functional efficiency.

Methods. There were 10 patients (8 women, 2 men) with primary through macular holes of large diameter (more than 400 microns) under observation. The age were from 55 to 64 years old. The duration of macular tear existence ranged from 4 to 11 months. Patients underwent standard research methods, SOCT and microperimetry. To retain the point of visual fixation and eliminate the risk of retinal trauma, all patients underwent surgical treatment of macular tear using the developed method for the surgical treatment of macular retinal tears using an “effective” ILM fragment of the required shape, size and localization. Before the operation, individual parameters for each patient and zones of localization of the “effective” ILM fragment were calculated, which consisted of two parts: the upper inverted fragment and the intact foveolar fragment of the inner limiting membrane. The follow-up period was 1, 3, 6 months and 1 year after the operation.

Results. Surgical treatment of MR in all patients was carried out completely without complications. In all cases, it was possible to preserve the zone of the foveolar intact fragment of the ILM and form the upper inverted fragment of the ILM, which directly covers the macular hole. Improvement of the anatomical state of the retina in the foveal area was achieved according to SOCT data. After 1 month, all patients had a “defect” (hyporeflective area) in the ellipsoid zone of photoreceptors with a width of 112 to 357 μm. The outer boundary membrane was clearly visible and had a linear profile. A complete resorption of edema along the edges of the tear happened. An intact foveolar fragment of the ILM was visualized on the surface of the retina, blocking the macular hole. After 3 months, in 3 patients, the defect of the outer layers of the retina completely disappeared. After 3, 6 and 12 months, the state of the retina of these patients was unchanged. All patients showed improvement in functional outcomes after surgical treatment. There was an increase in BCVA at all terms.

Conclusion. The developed technology of surgical treatment using an “effective” ILM fragment is modern and safe in the treatment of penetrating primary macular retinal tears, and reduces the risk of intra- and postoperative complications.

Relevance. Diabetic retinopathy occupies one of the leading places in the frame of blindness and low vision. The very first changes in the retina in diabetic retinopathy are disorders of microcirculation and blood supply in the small vessels of the macula. There are few effective drugs that can restore perfusion in the small retina’s vessels. In this connection, it is relevant to search for anticoagulants that allow restoring blood supply in the macular area in diabetic retinopathy in the early stages.

The purpose. To analyze the research of a domestic direct-action anticoagulant from animals, a drug of the heparin group Pyavit, both in ophthalmology for diabetic retinopathy and in other fields of medicine. The analysis of publications on eLibrary and PubMed resources for the last 30 years was done, by the keywords: direct-acting anticoagulants, diabetic retinopathy, hirudins, hemodynamics, optical coherence tomography (OCT), hemostasis. The data on the study and application of the drug from its development to its use in diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular pathology, and pregnancy was analyzed. Researchers have studied the importance of the salivary gland secretion of a medical leech, which is a regulator of the hemostasis system. In 1992 I.P. Baskova patented a new drug Pyavit, which is officially approved for use in medical practice (registration number No. 000363/02). Dosage regimen: 300 mg three times a day for 20 days, and repeat the course through 1–2 months. In ophthalmology, researchers have proven the positive effect of the drug on the retina in diabetic retinopathy with an improvement in visual acuity, retinal thickness according to objective indicators of optical coherence tomography, fluorescence angiography, and hemostasis system.

Conclusion. The analysis of scientists’ research allows us to expand knowledge about the positive effect of the drug Piavit on the path of diabetic retinopathy. Based on this review, the authors plan to further study the drug, which will assess the importance and significance of improving microcirculation in the macular area of the retina using the anticoagulant Pyavit to preserve visual functions.

Purpose: to study the severity of dry eye symptoms in patients who wear contact lenses and in those who underwent laser keratomileusis a long period ago according to OSDI questionnaire.

Methods. 88 patients with various refractive disorders were included in the study, there were 33 men and 55 women. Mean age was 30,11 y.o. All patients were divided into 3 groups according to method of refractive disorder correction. Groups were equal in age and gender. The first included 27 patients wearing soft contact lenses for more than 5 years. The second group contained 33 patients who didn’t use contact lenses. The third one included 32 patients who underwent refractive surgery (LASIK, Femto-LASIK) more than a year ago. Assessment of severity of dry eye symptoms was performed according to questionnaire data (patients’ subjective feelings), objective data was not taken into account. Survey was performed with the use of OSDI questionnaire.

Results. According to the symptoms presented the incidence of dry eye syndrome was 73.91 % in patients of the first group and it was 56.25 % and 66.66 % in the second and third one, moreover, the prevalence of DES in each of the groups was higher among women and amounted to 94.11% in the first group; 63.63% — in the second and 61.11% — in the third group. Mean OSDI in the first group was 31.48 ± 22.17; and it was 18,83 ± 14,00 and 22,25 ± 15,53 in the second and third group respectively. The obtained data corresponded to moderate severity of dry eye syndrome in all groups. DES was more prevalent among women in each group.

Conclusion. The prevalence of DES according to the severity of symptoms was 65.6 %, the severity of DES was predominantly moderate. There was definite connection of symptoms and such risk factors as female sex and contact lens wear. Despite the connection with underlying pathogenetic mechanisms, the spread and severity of dry eye symptoms in patients a year after refractive surgery were significantly lower compared to those who didn’t undergo any refractive surgical procedures.

Authors: Gavrilova T. V. , Sergienko A. P. , Chereshneva M. V.
Published: July 2023

Ophthalmological manifestations in COVID-19 infection are diverse, manifesting themselves in all anatomical structures of organ of vision, they occur both in the acute period of the disease and in the post-COVID period. Currently, the literature describes changes in the anterior segment of the eye more often, and also there are publications describing pathological changes in the posterior segment, and acute vascular pathology of the retina after COVID-19 infection in particular. It has been established that the comorbid background of the patient is of great importance in the development and the course of the disease. These findings are also confirmed by our two clinical observations of acute ocular vascular pathology after COVID-19. In the first case, retinovasculitis of the right eye complicated by thrombosis of the inferior temporal branch of the central retinal vein was described. The development of vascular pathology of the eye in this case was observed 1.5 months after the onset of the first symptoms of COVID-19 infection. The patient promptly turned to an ophthalmologist and was hospitalized to an eye hospital, where she received anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, anticoagulant, antibacterial, angioprotective, antioxidant therapy. As a result of treatment — the improvement of condition, restoration of visual functions. In the second presented case, we observed the development of an acute ischemic circulatory disorder of the retina of the left eye (thrombosis of the central retinal vein) 2.5 months after the onset of the disease with a new coronavirus infection. The treatment in an ophthalmological hospital included: steroid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, mydriatics, haemostatics, angioprotectors, antioxidants, anticoagulants, vitamins. On discharge from the hospital, there was a slight improvement, but after 2 months, the condition of the left eye worsened again. The pathology of the organ of vision proceeded with the development of complication — secondary neovascular glaucoma of a refractory nature with an outcome to subatrophy of the eyeball. It was facilitated by the comorbid background of the patient: hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia.

Based on the results of the analysis of clinical observations, the specific features of ophthalmological changes, their severity and dynamics on the background of comorbidity and the received therapy were established. The relationship between COVID-19 infection and complications of the organ of vision has been shown.

Published: July 2023

Suç ve ceza, insanlık tarihi kadar köklü bir geçmişe sahiptir. Bütün toplumlarda olduğu gibi Osmanlı toplumunda da suç işleyenler olmuş ve suçlular, suçları ile orantılı cezalara çarptırılmıştır. Hapis cezası, tarih boyunca verilen cezalarda değişmeyen bir cezalandırma türü olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu cezanın infaz edildiği mekânın hapishane olmasından dolayı, hapishanelerin varlığı da tarihin en eski devirlerine kadar uzanmıştır. Tarihin eski devirlerinde olduğu gibi Osmanlı Devleti’nde de bu mekanlar, varlığını önemli bir şekilde korumuştur. Bu hapishanelerden biri olan Ergani Madeni Umumi Hapishanesi de hapis cezalarının infaz edildiği yerlerden olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, kürek cezasının merkezi konumunda olan Ergani Madeni Umumi Hapishanesi’nin; 1860 yılından 1920 senesine kadar, konumu ve fiziki yapısında meydana gelen gelişmeler, fiziki yapının tadilatına yönelik yürütülen çalışmalar, hapishanede görev icra eden personellere dair gelişmeler ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmada hapishanelerin fiziki yapısına yönelik ıslah çalışmalarının sancak hapishanesine yansımaları incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısı ile 20. yüzyıl başlarını kapsayan bu çalışmada kaynak olarak Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivi ile telif eserlerden istifade edilmiştir.

Araştırmada Türkiye’de en yaygın hizmet ağına sahip dört kargo firmasına yapılan toplam 81.657 sayıdaki müşteri şikayeti www.şikayetvar.com adresinden Python programlama dili kullanılarak indirilmiştir. Bu yorumlar, metin veri analizi yöntemlerinden biri olan konu modelleme ile hizmet kalitesi boyutları altında sınıflandırılmıştır. Yorumların hizmet kalitesi boyutları altında sınıflandırılmasında, gözetimsiz sınıflama yöntemlerinden biri olan Gizli Dirichlet Ayrım (LDA) analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı öncelikle, kargo sektöründe hizmet kalitesi boyutlarını oluşturan kelime gruplarının ortaya çıkartılması, sonrasında ise müşterilerin kargo hizmetinde sıkça sorun yaşadıkları hizmet boyutlarının açığa çıkartılmasıdır. Yapılan analizde 16 şikayet konusu ortaya çıkartılmış ve en yüksek şikayetin tüm firmalar için güvenilirlik hizmet kalitesi boyutundan geldiği saptanmıştır.

Günümüzde sosyal ağlar dünya genelinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Sosyal ağların birçok konuda kaldırdığı sınırlar, bireyin her an ve her yerde öğrenme ihtiyacının karşılanmasına da olumlu yönde etki etmekte ve sosyal ağlar pek çok alanda olduğu gibi öğrenme alanında da yaygın şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram gibi sosyal ağların öğrenme alanında sık kullanıldığı bilinmektedir. Son yıllarda popülerliği artan Telegram ağının da öğrenme amaçlı kullanılan sosyal ağlardan biri olduğu uluslararası çalışmalarla desteklenmiştir. Bu çalışma ise, Türkiye’de öğrenme amaçlı Telegram kullanımını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Betimsel tarama modeliyle gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada Türkiye’de Telegram ağının öğrenmeye yönelik kullanıldığı dört farklı gruptaki 203 katılımcıdan veri toplanmıştır. Çevrimiçi Sosyal Ağların Öğretim Amaçlı Kabul ve Kullanımı Ölçeği’nde yer alan performans beklentisi, sosyal etki, kullanma niyeti ve çaba beklentisi boyutları ele alınarak bu boyutların Telegram kullanıcıları açısından yaş, cinsiyet ve kullanım deneyimine göre bir farklılık gösterip göstermediği t-Testi ve ANOVA analizi ile incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucuna göre, üç farklı değişken kapsamında incelenen verilerde anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır ancak tüm alt boyutlar ile karşılaştırıldığında çaba beklentisi boyutundaki ortalamaların daha yüksek olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.

Need for shelter is the main requirement for people. The majority of shelter needs is fulfilled through the acquisition of estates. Housing prices may have been overpriced for a variety of causes at various times. A bubble asset is created when house prices deviate from basic values. The existence of property market bubbles has recently received a lot of attention. House prices in three provinces (Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir) were investigated in this study between April 2010 and October 2022 to assess whether there is a housing bubble. In order to see the difference more easily, both new (YKFE) and old (YOKFE) housing prices were examined. In the study, the generalized sup augmented Dickey-Fuller (GSADF) method was preferred because it performed better in the presence of more than one balloon. According to the findings, price bubbles were detected in the real estate markets of Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir. As a different finding, no positive price bubble was detected in Ankara and Istanbul in 2019. Unlike other provinces, downward pricing is observed especially in old housing prices in İzmir in 2012. However, a price bubble is seen in İzmir in 2019. In addition, it can be seen that the negative pricing effect of the Covid-19 period was not seen in İzmir.

Ontology of knowledge representation about the prescribed personalized treatment
Authors: Kovalev Roman I. , Gribova Valeria V. , Okun Dmitry B.
Published: July 2023

The paper describes a generalized ontology that makes it possible to form knowledge about various types of treatment (medicamental, restorative, surgical), regardless of the branch of medicine. Ontology is a necessary component for creating an information system focused on solving a class of treatment planning problems. Planning allows you to combine treatments for various diseases and branches of medicine. A method for adapting a generalized ontology to various types of treatment and terminology, which is familiar to the developer of the knowledge base, an expert in the subject area, is described. All specialized ontologies for specific types of treatment are inherited from the generalized ontology, preserving its structure and semantic dependencies. This approach ensures the creation of knowledge bases in decision support systems for the complex prescription of patient treatment, opening up the possibility of creating a single solver, which provides a significant reduction in system development costs. The generalized ontology was developed on the IACPaaS cloud platform and is currently used to create knowledge bases in various fields of medicine.
Knowledge and skills extraction from the job requirements texts
Authors: Nikolaev Ivan E.
Published: July 2023

The analysis of the requirements for vacancies in the labor market shows that they are multi-level language constructions of several words with complex semantic relationships. The aim of the research is to develop a method for extracting short texts of knowledge and skills from texts of job requirements that have a complex organizational structure. The method consists in supplementing the structure of complex sentences with new relationships by means of a BERT neural network model trained on the texts of online vacancies and moving from a complex text to a set of simple word combinations. The process of additional training (finetunig) of BERT neural network models from the Sberbank AI laboratory on the texts of online vacancies is shown. Two mechanisms for adding new links between requirements words, taking into account knowledge from the subject area, are implemented: linear and through the addition of the parsing tree. In the course of the experiment, a comparative analysis was carried out for several combinations of the listed tools. The combination that showed the best result was 'the BERT + deeppavlov_syntax_parser model + a linear method of adding links'. The applicability of the method was demonstrated on the text corpus of online job requirements. The proposed method has shown higher efficiency than the rule-based approach, which involves the use of formal rules and grammar rules for natural language analysis. Using the method will allow you to quickly identify the key changes in the needs of the labor market at the level of requirements texts of individual knowledge and skills.

Стаття присвячена аналізу творчості однієї з найбільш суперечливих постатей у вітчизняній культуріХІХ ст. – Миколі Васильовичу Гоголю (1809 – 1852). Розглядаються особливості становлення релігійної ідентичностіписьменника та її інтерпретація сучасниками та нащадками. Авторка намагається довести, що у М. Гоголяестетичне начало уособлювалось у художньому таланті, то його моральне начало знаходить свій прояв у йогорелігійному проповідництві, яке найбільш рельєфно представлене в його «Вибраних місцях із листування з друзями» і у«Роздумах про Божественну Літургію».

Published: July 2023

У статті досліджується дискурс відносно сучасної історичної ситуацію. За визнанням західнихінтелектуалів історія досягнула свого «поворотного пункту» і потребує реалізації «нової нормальності». Майбутнємає суперечливі тенденції: воно може привести до поглиблення глобальної кризи, або до «великого перезавантаження»системи цінностей та пріоритетів усіх сфер життя. Сучасний історичний процес з боку економіки характеризується як«системна криза капіталізму»; з боку геополітики – як «криза ліберальної моделі світового порядку» і «кінецьглобалізації» та ін. Робиться спроба екстраполювати категорію «виклик» на історичну ситуацію «поворотногопункту», про яку сповіщають світові лідери, та відстежити негативні тенденції ліберального світового порядку, утому числі, крізь призму передбачень антиутопій Дж. Оруелла та О. Хакслі.

Authors: Клешня Ганна
Published: July 2023

У статті аналізується цивілізаційний вимір концепції сталого розвитку як механізму впровадження засаднеоліберального порядку денного. Висловлюється сумнів щодо її відповідності філософській категорії «розвиток».Здійснено рецепцію цивілізаційного підходу в глобалізованому світі. Вказано на ігнорування дисбалансутехнологічного й економічного розвитку країн у глобалізованому вимірі, що порушує діалектичний законвзаємопереходу кількісних і якісних змін. Обґрунтовується теза про те, що концепція сталого розвитку постає якдогматичний інструмент керування глобалізованим однополярним світом, а тому не може повною мірою описатисуспільний розвиток.
