Authors: Omnia Magdy Hendawy  , Shaimaa Hussein  , Eman A. Harahsheh
Published: October 2021

Background: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-specific syndrome. It affects 3-5% of pregnant women and is characterized by oedema, high blood pressure, and proteinuria. Moreover, in women with pre-eclampsia dysfunction of many organs, such as kidney and liver, is diagnosed, while in the case of foetus growth restriction is observed. Pre-eclampsia, when left untreated, can lead to a high mortality rate. In low-income countries, this disorder is one of the main causes of maternal and child mortality. Pre-eclampsia predisposes women in later life to cardiovascular diseases. So far, in acute cases of pre-eclampsia stabilization of the mother and fotus, and finally, termination of pregnancy at a time optimal for both sides can only be considered.Methods: The present work is designed to investigate the relationship between pre-eclampsia, renal and hepatic insufficiency in the Al-Jouf area through collecting information from the electronic database of maternity hospital for 100 pregnant women who suffered from pre-eclampsia compared with normal pregnancies.Results: The prevalence of pre-eclampsia is more prone in eldest women (older than 35 years old) almost 45% than younger women (20-25 years old), PC to MPV ratio value showed a significant suppression in pre-eclamptic pregnancies in comparison with normal pregnant women while HbA1c % value indicated a significant increase in the pre-eclamptic cases than the healthy pregnant women. Renal indices, serum creatinine, urea, and albumin were significantly higher in the pre-eclamptic women than in women with normal pregnancies.Conclusion: There is a tight relationship between hypertensive disorders during pregnancies, chronic renal disorders and hepatic insufficiency.

Authors: Korzyuk V. I. , Kozlovskaya I. S. , Sokolovich V. Y. , Sevastyuk V. A.
Published: October 2021

In this paper, we represented an analytical form of a classical solution of the wave equation in the class of continuously diﬀerentiable functions of arbitrary order with mixed boundary conditions in a quarter of the plane. The boundary of the area consists of two perpendicular half-lines. On one of them, the Cauchy conditions are speciﬁed. The second half-line is separated into two parts, namely, the limited segment and the remaining part in the form of a half-line. The Dirichlet condition is speciﬁed on the segment, as well as the Neumann condition is fulﬁlled on the second part in the form of a half-line. In a quarter of the plane, the classical solution of the problem under consideration is determined. To construct this solution, a particular solution of the original wave equation is established. For the given functions of the problem, the concordance conditions are written, which are necessary and suﬃcient for the solution of the problem to be classical of high order of smoothness and unique.
A solution of the hypersingular integro-diﬀerential equation with determinants of the Vronsky type
Authors: Shilin A. P.
Published: October 2021

In this paper, we consider a new hypersingular integro-diﬀerential equation of arbitrary order on a closed curve located in the complex plane. The integrals in the equation are understood in the sense of the ﬁnite Hadamard part. The equation refers to linear integro-diﬀerential equations with variable coeﬃcients of a particular form. A characteristic feature of the equation is its representation with the help of determinants close to the Vronsky ones. The method of analytical continuation, properties of determinants, and generalized Sokhotsky formulas are used for the study. The equation reduces to the Riemann boundary value problem of a jump in a certain class of functions. If the Riemann boundary problem turns out to be solvable, then one should solve linear inhomogeneous diﬀerential equations in the class of analytic functions in the domains of the complex plane. The analysis of the obtained solutions in an inﬁnitely distant point is not evident. The study has a complete look. The conditions for the solvability of the original equation are explicitly written out. When they are fulﬁlled, the solution is explicitly written, to which an example is given.

Herein, on the basis of expressions for the refractive indices of isonormal waves, the possibility of performing collinear phase matching for optical parametric generation in arbitrary directions of a biaxial KTA crystal under pumping by radiation of a YAG:Nd laser is analyzed. The tuning curves that determine the tuning range of the signal and idler for type-I and II-type phase-matching and arbitrary angles θ and φ in cases where the tuning is carried out along the angle θ at a ﬁxed angle φ and vice versa are calculated. The eﬀective nonlinear coeﬃcient is determined. It is shown that their maximum value is achieved аt a polar angle θ = 90° and type-II phase-matching. For the case of generation of eye-safe radiation the spectral and angular phase matching widths were estimated, as well as gain widths of KTA-OPO under monochromatic pumping.

Authors: Rimskiy G. S. , Yanushkevich K. I. , Rutkauskas A. V.
Published: October 2021

The results of an experiment on studying the features of the crystal structure and magnetic studies of substitutional solid solutions of the Ni1–xCrxMnSb system (0 m х m 0.2) are presented. It was found that an increase in the concentration of chromium in solid solutions does not lead to signiﬁcant changes in the size of the unit crystal cell. It was found that solid-phase quenching can be used to expand the limit of chromium solubility in Ni1–xCrxMnSb solid solutions. The temperature and ﬁeld dependences of the speciﬁc magnetization of the synthesized compositions have been studied. It was found that the substitution of chromium for nickel in the NiMnSb compound leads to a decrease in the temperature of the “magnetic order – magnetic disorder” phase transformation with an increase in the concentration x from 0 to 20 mol.%. The values of speciﬁc magnetization and Curie temperature of hardened hard rasters are higher than those of slowly cooled ones. The results obtained contribute to the creation of a physical basis for the elemental base of spintronics.
Analysis of features of magnetic field of a synchronous electric machine with a multi-phase fractional slot winding in a polyharmonic mode of operation
Authors: Panteleev S. V. , Malashin A. N.
Published: October 2021

An analytical model has been developed for calculating magnetic field in a multiphase synchronous electric machine with fractional toothed windings. For this, a harmonic analysis of the distribution functions of the magnetic field of excitation and the magnetic field of the armature reaction was carried out, taking into account the presence of higher harmonic components in the function of the magnetomotive force of permanent magnets, variable magnetic conductivity of the air gap, polyharmonic mode of operation of a multiphase electric machine and a non-sinusoidal law of variation of spatial winding functions. As a result of the analysis, the substantiation is given that in the investigated electric machine a nine-phase winding can extract with the greatest efficiency the harmonic components of the first and third order of a rotating magnetic field to create flux linkage and induce an electromotive force (as well as create a magnetomotive force with prevailing spatial harmonics of the first and third order). In the investigated electric machine, the amplitudes of the working harmonics of the induction of the modulated magnetic field of the armature reaction can be increased due to the modulation of the inoperative harmonics of the magnetomotive force of the armature response by the stator teeth to the first and third order. To check the developed provisions, a magnetostatic vector model of the magnetic field of the investigated electric machine was created. The simulation results confirmed the high efficiency of the developed analytical model for calculating the magnetic field in a synchronous electric machine with fractional toothed windings. The use of such a model will make it possible to reveal most reliably the influence of the geometricparameters of the magnetic circuit and the multiphase winding circuit on the nature of the change in the functions of the magnetic field in the air gap with the lowest time costs in the process of optimizing an electric machine.

Authors: Emelyanenko E. V. , Tarutin I. G. , Belobokov P. A.
Published: October 2021

In this work, the following tasks were solved: to perform a comparative analysis of data processing methods when calculating recovery factors; to evaluate the influence of time-of-flight technology and PSF function on the recovery factor and the forecast of recovery factor deviation for potential pathological foci with a diameter of 6–8 mm; to evaluate the influence of parameters of iterative reconstruction algorithms, Gaussian filter and axial filters on the recovery factor. The calculation of the recovery factors was carried out on the basis of quantitative characteristics obtained in the analysis of reconstructions of images of the IEC phantom with six spheres installed inside and filled with a radiopharmaceutical. Eight series of experiments with background / sphere activity ratios 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/14, 1/16, 1/20 were carried out with the same concentration of activity in the spheres during each separate experiment. The forecast of the effect of the partial volume effect on lesions with a diameter of 6 to 8 mm was carried out, taking into account the used reconstruction algorithms. It is advisable to use the results obtained to harmonize diagnostic protocols for scanning with positron emission tomographs using the input parameters of reconstruction algorithms and filters, which will minimize the error in the quantitative assessment of a radiopharmaceutical when analyzing the dynamics of the development of a pathological process, as well as the response of pathology to therapy.

Authors: Orlovskaya V. I. , Trifonov A. G.
Published: October 2021

The paper presents the results of radiation risk assessment for the staff of a nuclear power plant design during design basis accident (spent nuclear fuel assembly falling on fuel in reactor core or storage pool during refueling operations) and a beyond design basis accident (large leakage of the primary coolant with failure of the active part of the emergency cooling system and complete blackout for 24 h). The assessment is based on state-of-the-art radiation risk models from the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). The calculation of risk indicators for occupational exposure of NPP staff in emergency situations was carried out on the basis of data obtained using a computational module created in the COMSOL 5.6 multiphysics software, doses from a radioactive cloud and internal exposure due to inhalation for such radionuclides as 134Cs, 137Cs, 131I, 133I, 90Sr. A feature of this approach is the detailed consideration of the NPP industrial site infrastructure, which allows obtaining a more accurate assessment of the radionuclide air distribution and fallout.

Published: October 2021

El SARS-CoV-2 continúa infectando a miles de personas a nivel mundial. Se ha establecido que el principal mecanismo de transmisión del SARS-CoV-2 es por vía aérea, por lo que infecta inicialmente el tracto respiratorio. Actualmente, la eficacia de los fármacos utilizados contra COVID-19 es limitada y a pesar de que los programas de inmunización han iniciado, existe una desigualdad internacional en la distribución de vacunas. En este sentido, la búsqueda de terapias coadyuvantes continúa siendo una alternativa para su investigación. La suplementación con vitamina A se ha asociado con la reducción de mortalidad por infecciones; este efecto podría ser mediado por el ácido retinoico (AR), un metabolito activo de esta vitamina, que ejerce funciones inmunomoduladoras. De acuerdo con estudios preclínicos, el AR favorece la producción de inmunoglobulina A (IgA) secretora en el tracto respiratorio. Aunado a esto, la proteína de unión a retinol se ha correlacionado con la concentración de IgA y anticuerpos neutralizantes en pacientes con influenza. Por lo tanto, la presente revisión tiene como objetivo abordar la participación de la vitamina A en la producción de la inmunoglobulina A secretora en el epitelio del tracto respiratorio para resaltar su potencial función protectora contra la infección por SARS-CoV-2.

Published: October 2021

The effect of Vitamin E on some cardiac parameters following concomitant administration of artemether-lumefantrine (AL) and ciprofloxacin in male Wistar rats was investigated. Thirty-five male Wistar rats weighing between 190 – 220 g, used for the study were randomly divided into seven groups of five animals each. Group I served as the control. Group II - VII were administered; 8 mg/kg body weight (bw) of AL; 7.14 mg/kg bw of Ciprofloxacin; 8 mg/kg bw of AL + 7.14 mg/kg bw of Ciprofloxacin; 8 mg/kg bw of AL + 8.57 IU of Vitamin E; 7.14 mg/kg bw of Ciprofloxacin + 8.57 IU of Vitamin E; and 8 mg/kg bw of AL + 7.14 mg/kg bw of Ciprofloxacin + 8.57 IU of Vitamin E respectively. All the drugs were administered at their therapeutic regimen. Some cardiac parameters investigated include lipid profile, Troponin I, Troponin T, Creatine kinase, Lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase. The result showed significant (p < 0.05) increase in all the parameters of cardiac function when treatment groups were compared with control. The observed increase in cardiac indices were however significantly (p < 0.05) ameliorated in Groups V, VII and VII which were co-administered with Vitamin E compared with Groups II, III and IV which received the test drugs independently. The weights of the heart tissues showed the same trend with the parameters of cardiac function assessed and upon administration of vitamin E. The results obtained suggest the antioxidative role of vitamin E in alleviating the negative effects induced by artemether-lumefantrine and ciprofloxacin combination treatment, which may be from the impact of free radicals that may have been generated by the combined drugs.

Published: October 2021

In Senegal, fungi constitute a large and diverse systematic group. However, despite their numerous food and pharmacological potential, few studies have been devoted to this group, particularly carpophore fungi. This work is a contribution to the knowledge of macromycetes in Senegal. It specifically proposes to determine the structure of the fungi on the prospected sites and to propose identification tools. Inventories were made at four (4) sites: two sites in Cheikh Anta DIOP University of Dakar (Botanical Garden, Faculty of Science and Technology and that of Faculty of Medicine), the Forest Park of Hann and the classified forest of Mbao. The identification and description of the samples were carried out based on macroscopic and ecological characteristics. This methodology allowed us to identify (15) morphotypes distributed in 2 subclasses of the Basidiomycetes class. They belong to 5 orders (Agaricales, Pluteales, Trichlomatales, Phallales, Gasterales), 7 families (Agaricaceae, Lepiotaceae, Pluteaceae, Marasmiaceae, Termitomycetaceae, Phallaceae, Sclerodermataceae) and 8 genera. Among these morphotypes, four (4) are identified down to the species level (Phallus roseus, Podaxis pistillaris, Micropsalliota cf elata and Scleroderma auriculatum) and 11 down to the genus. In this fungi group, the genus Termitomyces dominates with five (5) species, followed by the genus Volvaria with three (3) species. This work made it possible to bring out the common and differential characters between the species. It then appeared that the mode of insertion of the foot is the only characteristic common to all species. In addition, the identification of discriminating characteristics made it possible to develop a key for determining all the species inventoried.

The irrigation requirement for water melon and cucumber recorded the highest value of 461.6 and 497.4mm/dec respectively, an indication that the two crops require more water for physiological activities. The reduction in the values of crop coefficient was observed during the study which could be attributed to the reduction in evapotranspiration at the late stage of growth. The findings also showed that known quantities of irrigation water could be used in producing crops optimally.

Authors: Akkuratova Irina Borisovna
Published: October 2021

The aim of the study is to determine the derivational patterns and features of neologisms formation in the German language during the Covid-19 pandemic. The article substantiates the notion of “neologism” and considers (along with the most productive way of word formation in the German language - word composition) word-creation mechanisms typical of neologisms formation in the studied period: contraction (contamination, abbreviation, syllable blending), tracing of lexemes from the English language, mixed tracing, metaphorization, borrowing, meaning extension. The scientific originality lies in the fact that modern neologisms are systematized from the viewpoint of linguo-cognitive, as well as system-word-formation capabilities of the language. As a result of the study, it has been proved that the qualitative composition of neologisms changes both at the lexical-semantic and at the graphic level.
