Authors: Гимадиева Лилия Шарифзяновна
Published: March 2023

Социально-экономическое развитие страны определяется обеспеченностью жильем населения и его доступностью. Проблема наличия жилья, его доступности всегда являлась для граждан ключевой. На возможность обеспечения населения жильем влияют как микро-, так и макроэкономические факторы. В данном исследовании рассматриваются факторы, влияющие на стоимость строительства 1 м2 жилья на первичном рынке жилья Республики Татарстан. Цель исследования заключается в построении модели, позволяющей выявлять степень влияния факторов на изменение стоимости 1 м2 жилья на первичном рынке, а также определять оценку взаимосвязи между результативным и факторными переменными. Для проведения оценки стоимости жилья на первичном рынке Республики Татарстан была использована система взаимосвязанных измерителей, в качестве которых выступают соответствующая статистическая информация в виде показателей и индикаторов состояния и развития экономики региона. В статье выявлена количественная зависимость изменения цены строительства 1 м2 жилья от изменения объема жилищных кредитов, предоставленных кредитными организациями физическим лицам-резидентам, ставки рефинансирования ЦБ РФ, курса доллара, cредневзвешенной ставки по ипотечному кредиту, средневзвешенного срока кредитования по кредитам, количества действующих кредитных организаций, валового регионального продукта, индекса потребительских цен, среднедушевых доходов населения. Зависимость факторов признана линейной. В ходе исследования были определены факторы, влияющие на цену квадратного метра жилья, определены математические зависимости факторов, построены математические корреляционные модели. Разработанные модели можно применять при анализе и оценке стоимости жилья в Республике Татарстан. Они могут быть использованы на практике для принятия управленческих решений заказчиков и застройщиков. Кроме того, сценарии данного анализа применимы и для оценки стоимости жилья на вторичном рынке и в различных субъектах Российской Федерации.

Tingles, sparkles, shivers: Language of affect in online discussions on autonomous sensory meridian response
Authors: Łapińska Joanna
Published: March 2023

The audiovisual phenomenon of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), which has been present on the Internet for several years in the form of relaxing videos posted on YouTube, is enjoying growing popularity. One of the interesting elements of this phenomenon is the affectivity visible in the language used by the members of the community. In this article, I focus on the language used by the ASMR community in online spaces, putting forward the thesis that it corresponds with the language of affect present in the affective turn theories that appreciate bodily sensations as a way of experiencing the world. The article suggests that ASMR is a product of the culture of affect and that the success of this phenomenon is associated with a shift toward the importance of the body and its sensations in Western culture as key elements of the individual’s experience of the surrounding reality.
Toward an archetypal narrative: A Jungian-inspired archetypal criticism of Propp’s recurring narratemes thesis
Authors: Jakha Hicham
Published: March 2023

In this paper, I attempt to find a middle ground between the formalist critic, Vladimir Propp, and the psychoanalytic critic, Carl Jung. I argue that, instead of regarding Russian formalism and psychoanalysis as irreconcilable adversaries, the theories of the two figures can (and should) be unified; the result of which can be devised to establish a theory of what I call an ‘‘archetypal narrative’’. To be more explicit, Propp’s Morphology and Jung’s archetypal psychoanalysis are reconciled to bring about an archetypal narrative theory, in which the underlying structure of narratives lies in the collective unconscious of humanity.
Use of biomonitoring tools to detect water quality-dependent ecosystem (macroinvertebrate) responses in lentic systems: the examples of Lakes İznik and Manyas, Türkiye
Authors: Mercan Deniz , Arslan Naime
Published: March 2023

Lakes İznik and Manyas located in Türkiye are important biodiversity resources in the Palearctic region. No studies to date have explored the ecological statuses of these lakes together with their water quality based on biotic indices utilizing benthic macroinvertebrates. In this study, some parameters listed in the SWQMR of Türkiye were measured to determine the ecological quality of the lakes. Biotic indices included in the WFD and bacteriological parameters in terms of human health were also evaluated for these lakes. Sampling was performed at 6 stations in 2018-2019. Results for the zoobenthic community structure indicate that Lake İznik has started to become organically polluted and Lake Manyas is more polluted. Also, the biological index results for Lake İznik also show that the lake water quality has started to decrease and that pollution conditions have occurred, pointing to class III water quality. It is clear that there is pollution pressure in Lake İznik. However, according to the results, the macrozoobenthic community structure, diversity, and water quality of Lake İznik seem to be better than those of Lake Manyas. According to the results of the water qualities in the lakes, precautions should be taken to eliminate the negative pressures seen in both lakes.
Post-dredging nitrogen dynamics at the sediment–water interface: the shallow, eutrophic Mogan Lake, Turkey
Authors: Topçu Akasya , Atlığ Seda
Published: March 2023

The sedimentation and resuspension of various forms of nitrogen in wetlands determines the direction of the nitrogen dynamics. Mogan Lake, in the Gölbaşı Special Environmental Protection Area, is one of the most important Ramsar-nominated wetlands in Turkey. Lake management applications have been performed by the local managers since 2008, including sediment cleaning activities such as dredging. In this context, the aim was to quantitatively predict the nitrogen dynamics (ammonium and nitrate release/ uptake in the positive and/or negative direction) at the sediment–water interface, which has not been addressed in the eutrophication and sediment-related studies conducted to date on the lake in question. Sediment ammonium and nitrate flux were estimated to be between -9.16 and 0.36 µg m-2 d-1 and between -67.2 and 35.16 µg m-2 d-1, respectively. The estimations for sediment nitrogen flux in Mogan Lake did not show a regular seasonal or spatial fluctuation. Our results demonstrate that low nitrogen release levels in Mogan Lake do not pose a threat to its nutrient level. In conclusion, both monitoring and reducing external loading is still the top priority for a long-term recovery of water quality in the process of freshwater ecosystems.

Published: March 2023

Background

The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted a need for easy and safe blood sampling in combination with accurate serological methodology. Venipuncture for testing is usually performed by trained staff at healthcare centres. Long travel distances to healthcare centres in rural regions may introduce a bias of testing towards relatively large communities with closer access. Rural regions are therefore often not represented in population-based data.

Aim

The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to develop and implement a strategy for at-home testing in a rural region of Sweden during spring 2021, and to evaluate its role to provide equal health care for its inhabitants.

Methods

We developed a sensitive method to measure antibodies to the S-protein of SARS-CoV-2 and optimised this assay for clinical use together with a strategy of at-home capillary blood sampling.

Results

We demonstrated that our ELISA gave comparable results after analysis of capillary blood or serum from SARS-CoV-2-experienced individuals. We demonstrated stability of the assay under conditions that reflected temperature and humidity during winter or summer. By assessment of capillary blood samples from 4,122 individuals, we could show both feasibility of the strategy and that implementation shifted the geographical spread of testing in favour of rural areas.

Conclusion

Implementation of at-home sampling enabled citizens living in remote rural areas access to centralised and sensitive laboratory antibody tests. The strategy for testing used here could therefore enable disease control authorities to get rapid access to information concerning immunity to infectious diseases, even across vast geographical distance.
PERILAKU KONSUMSI ISLAM: KAJIAN KRITIK
Authors: Arifin Sirajul
Published: March 2023

The consumption behaviour of conventional economic system emphasizing on material satisfaction causes economic imbalances to appear and makes humanitarian values disappear. The concept of homo economicus is no longer relevant to the present economic conditions.Â  Therefore, Islam provides a critique of conventional economic theory of consumption. This critique rejects the presence of the building of paradigmatic values based on conventional economic system. In this context, Islam gives a boundary for consumption behaviour that is in accordance with the provisions of Shariah in order to have homo Islamicus as a model.

Витастероиды: витафизанолид и 28-гидроксивитафизанолид, выделенные из надземной части Physalis viscosa L., при однократном пероральном введении в дозе 10 мг/кг ингибируют экссудативную фазу воспаления у крыс, уменьшая отёк лапы, вызванный формалином, в среднем на 30,3 % (p < 0,05), а также уменьшают сосудистую проницаемость у кроликов, вызванную ксилолом (время появления окрашивания кожи после внутривенного введения трипановой сини в среднем увеличивается на 109,1 %, р < 0,001). При многократном введении витастероидов (течение 7 дней) у крыс также выявляется их четкий антипролиферативный эффект, составляющий 38,4 % (p < 0,05). В опытах на крысах с хроническим адъювантным артритом, вызванным субплантарным введением животным в правую заднюю лапку полного адъюванта Фрейнда, их противовоспалительное действие, составляющее в среднем 21,2 % (p < 0,05), сочетается с оптимизирующим влиянием на общебиологические и иммунологические показатели состояния организма (снижение повышенного содержания лейкоцитов, фибриногена, циркулирующих иммунных комплексов в крови и скорости оседания эритроцитов, а также повышение сниженного содержания эритроцитов в крови и времени её свертывания). По противовоспалительной активности в обоих случаях проведенных экспериментов витафизанолид уступал 28-гидроксивитафизанолиду в среднем на 14,6 % (p < 0,05), эффект которого был практически идентичен преднизолону.
The Right to Dress in International Law as a Right in itself and as a Parameter on the Ridge between Freedom of Expression and Prohibition of Discrimination
Authors: Latino Agostina
Published: March 2023

The right to clothing is part of the panoply of human rights recognised by international law and is part of the broader right to an adequate standard of living guaranteed by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, in the transition from abstract normative predictions to the identification of the concrete content of this guarantee placed to protect the human person (both in its function of mere protection of the body from the elements, but also, and perhaps above all, to communicate and obtain information on their social position), it is as if its exact substance dissipates . This article proposes, first of all, a diachronic reconstruction of the right to clothing in international instruments and in the practice of the bodies in charge of monitoring them. Secondly, it focuses on how this right is closely connected to freedom of expression in relation to the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of the clothing worn - especially if indicative of belonging to a group, inter alia ethnic, religious, or social. It concludes with brief critical notes and reconstructive insights into these two delineations of the right to clothing. Keywords: Right to Clothing; Freedom of Expression; Discrimination
SOME VALUE ORIENTATIONS OF UKRAINIAN PROTESTANTS IN THE URAL REGION
Authors:   R.G. Kuzeev Institute for Ethnological Studies, KLYASHEV A.N.
Published: March 2023

This article is based on the results of field studies of members of Protestant religious organizations operating in the Southern, Middle and Polar Urals. Ukrainians represent the largest ethnic group among the Protestants of the studied regions, having a "foreign" origin; studies have revealed that the largest ethnic group that is the bearer of Protestantism in the Urals are Russians. The purpose of this work is to determine the value orientations of Ukrainians-members of the Protestant communities of the Ural region, the results of processing field materials are presented in comparison with data on Russian Protestants. Research evidence shows that more than half of both groups are not prosperous theologians. However, there are more potential “heroes of faith” who are ready to endure various difficulties and who do not consider achieving success in life an indispensable attribute of Christian life among Ukrainian respondents. In our opinion, this fact is explained by the fact that Protestantism historically has more rooted traditions in Ukraine than in Russia - members of the Protestant formations of the Ural regions who were born and lived for some time in Ukraine, having arrived in the Russian Federation, could bring with them more evangelically oriented values.

The deflection of light due to gravity was predicted by general relativity and first confirmed by observations in 1919. In the following decades, various aspects of the gravitational lensing effect were theoretically explored, including the possibility of obtaining multiple or annular images of background sources, the use of lensing as a gravitational telescope on very faint and distant objects, and the possibility of determining the Hubble constant using lensing. Gravitational lensing is the deflection of light by gravity caused by the action of compact astrophysical objects. Various objects, such as a galaxy, stars, black holes, wormholes, and others, can act as a gravitational lens. In our study, as a gravitational lens, we chose black holes described by the Gibbons-Maeda-GarfinkleHorowitz-Strominger solutions in the string frame. The two solutions in the string frame are magnetically and electrically charged black holes with an event horizon. The work will investigate the effect of electric and magnetic charges on the angle of deflection of light.

Most polymers are usually poor conductors of electric current and, accordingly, they can be classified as organic dielectrics. However, there is a special class of polymers, usually characterized by presence of conjugated pbonds, which provide electron delocalization, leading to electrical conductivity in the ground state of the system. In addition to such materials, there have been found polymers that are insulators in the ground state, but under the influence of external factors demonstrate a finite electrical conductivity. Polydiphenylenephthalide (PDP) belongs to the class of carbocyclic organic electroactive polymers that exhibit electrically conductive properties when an external electric field and/or mechanical stress is applied. The effect is explained by the nonzero density of electronic states inside the band gap. The depth of such states increases if the system accepts an additional electron, which indirectly provides electrical conductivity along the polymer chain. Accordingly, the presence of free electrons in contact region with a metal is an important condition for the appearance of final electrical conductivity in PDP. The working hypothesis that stimulates the proposed study is the assumption that superconducting correlations may arise in the electrically conductive state of an electroactive polymer. In the present work, the transport properties of thin-film lead-PDP-lead structures in two configurations are experimentally studied in a wide temperature range: a layered “sandwich” type and a quasi-planar “field-effect transistor” type. At temperatures below ~8 K, in layered samples, features of the PDP electron transport are observed, which can be explained by the effect of induced superconductivity in a thin film of a conducting polymer enclosed between two massive superconductors (lead). In the planar configuration, the electrical conductivity of the polymer in the plane of the structure does not appear. The reason for this observation may be related to the mechanism of the electrically conductive state of the PDP, characterized by formation of quasi-one-dimensional channels of electric current in the direction perpendicular to the plane of contact with the "donor" of electrons: metal in the normal or superconducting state. The effect of appearance of superconductivity in PDP requires further stidies and is potentially of significant interest for various applications in the field of practical microand nanoelectronics.
Testing Longitudinal Measurement Invariance of a Career Maturity Scale Through an Item Parameter Drift Analysis
Authors:   Korean Society for Educational Evaluation, Lee Subeen , Park Chanho
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine longitudinal measurement invariance of a career maturity scale for middle school students through an item parameter drift (IPD) analysis. Data obtained from the middle school panel participating in the Daegu Education Longitudinal Study (DELS) for 3 years were analyzed. Career maturity was measured with polytomous items, and IPD items were detected for the first and the second grade and for the second and the third grade using the likelihood ratio test based on the graded response model. As a result of the IPD analysis, it was found that IPD was detected for 3 items (items 1, 2, and 10) between the first and the second grade and for 4 items (items 1, 2, 6, and 8) between the second and the third grade. Among them, items 1 and 2, which were consecutively flagged as IPD, are self-understanding questions, and the average score of self-understanding items gradually decreased although the step parameters of those items became smaller. As a result, it was found that the IPD items caused a large decrease in the average item scores of career maturity. This suggests that if the IPD items are used without testing longitudinal measurement invariance, the difference may look larger than what it actually is.

Field investigations and analyses of modern crevasse splay deposits can both elucidate the processes of levee breaching and help to identify past crevasse splay deposits from geologic strata, thereby estimating the magnitudes of ancient river floods. In this study, we studied levee breach processes and crevasse splay deposits in order to determine the distribution characteristics of the inundation area associated with the 2019 flooding of the Chikuma River, Central Japan. The crevasse splay formed by this event can be divided into three regions: proximal, medial, and distal splays. Behind the breached levee, sandy and gravelly sediment piles (proximal splay) formed at both sides of the crevasse channel, whereas sand and mud layers (medial and distal splays) were observed over a wide area within the inundation area, extending beyond the sediment piles. The upstream gravelly sediment pile (proximal splay) was characterized by clearly bounded lower sand and upper gravel layers, reflecting the process of levee breaching: the outer sandy soil of the artificial levee began to be scoured by external erosion, followed by the erosion of the inner gravelly soil. The sedimentary characteristics of the proximal splay deposits appear to have been strongly controlled by the local environment but are useful for inverse analysis of the progressive process of past and future levee breaches. Sandy crevasse splay deposits (medial splay) thinned rapidly away from the breached levee, whereas muddy crevasse splay deposits (distal splay) were thicker at lower elevations, indicating that they formed during the levee breach and stagnant stages, respectively. The distribution of the medial splay (35.7% of the inundation area) was restricted relative to that of the distal splay (~81.7% of the inundation area). This study indicates that it is important to determine the extent of muddy crevasse splay deposits from geologic strata in order to determine the inundation areas of past levee breaches.

Published: March 2023

Although parent-child conversations about race are recommended to curb White U.S. children’s racial biases, little work has tested their influence. We designed a guided racism discussion task for U.S. White parents and their 8-12-year-old White children. We explored whether children’s and parents’ (1) pro-White implicit biases changed pre-to-post conversation, (2) racial socialization messages (color conscious, external attributions for prejudiced behavior, colorblind racial ideology) predicted changes in each other’s implicit biases, and (3) associations varied by the type of racism (subtle versus blatant) discussed. Children’s and parents’ biases significantly declined, pre-to-post discussion. Parents’ color conscious messages predicted greater declines and messages reflecting colorblind racial ideology and external attributions predicted smaller declines in children’s bias. These patterns were observed during discussions of subtle, but not blatant bias. Effects of children’s messages on parents’ bias were mixed. Our findings suggest that color conscious parent-child discussions may effectively reduce implicit pro-White bias in White children.
Testing for Unit Roots in Nepalese Macroeconomic Data
Authors: Shrestha Min Bahadur
Published: March 2023

Unit root test is viewed as mandatory on time series data since these data may possess specific properties like memory, trend and structural break. The results obtained by employing conventional regression methods without testing for the unit root in time series data might be misleading. This paper presents an overview of various unit root test methods and conducts the unit root test on Nepalese key macroeconomic data allowing one endogenous structural break. The test results show that out of the 18 macroeconomic variables, 10 have unit roots and the remaining 8 are stationary. An analysis of the structural break dates of these variables suggests that the Nepalese economy has gone through a structural change after mid-1980s.
Development of the Nepalese Financial System: Need for the Formulation of a Master Plan
Authors: Matangi Maskay Nephil , Subedi Satyendra Raj
Published: March 2023

The paper examines the development of Nepalese financial system which is categorized into three different phases: the first phase is the pre-NRB period; the second phase starts with NRB Act of 1955, which is further disaggregated into two sub-periods at 1984, the start of domestic financial liberalization; and the third and ongoing phase starts after enactment of current NRB Act of 2002. After analyzing period aggregate data on the financial system, the paper concludes that despite significant financial deepening in the context of financial liberalization and integration with the external economy, there is still scope for geographically balanced financial development. For addressing these challenges in a comprehensive manner, the study proposes initiating the development of a Financial Sector Master Plan.
Export Diversification and Competitiveness: Nepal’s Experiences
Authors: Pant Bhubanesh , Panta Rajan Krishna
Published: March 2023

Nepal’s policy regime has not been very instrumental in improving trade competitiveness. Although policy measures have been announced from time to time to identify new exportable products and encourage diversification of export markets, these have hardly been executed. The challenge for Nepal is complicated by the legacy of the past. Against this perspective, this paper a) examines the export scenario of Nepal and reviews the past studies on the country's export potential; b) illustrates Nepal's competitiveness of the export sector; and c) suggests measures for promoting export diversification and competitiveness. Based on the estimation of the real effective exchange rate (REER), this paper shows that the country is gradually losing its competitiveness. Although various studies have demonstrated that Nepal possesses competitive advantage in herbal products, woollen carpets, tea, garments and pashmina, among others, a comprehensive case-by-case analysis of home and host countries trading environment, supply and demand conditions, cost of production, capacity to innovate, as well as its forward and backward linkages should be conducted to translate the export potential to the actual trading opportunities.
Forecasting NEPSE Index: An ARIMA and GARCH Approach
Authors: Gaire Hom Nath
Published: March 2023

In this study, an attempt has been made to demonstrate the usefulness of univariate time series analysis as both an analytical and forecasting tool for Nepali stock Market. The data set covers the daily closing value of NEPSE index for two and half years starting from the middle of 2012 to end 2015. The forecasting analysis indicates the usefulness of the developed model in explaining the variations, trend and fluctuations in the values of the price index of Nepali stock exchange. Explanation of the fit of the model is described using the Correlogram, Unit Root tests and ARCH tests, which finally confirm that the ARIMA and EGARCH are good in forecasting and predicting daily stock index of Nepal. Furthermore, it is inferred that the daily stock price index contains an autoregressive, seasonal and moving average components; hence, one can predict stock returns through the identified models.
Work Family Conflict and Career Satisfaction in Banking Sector of Nepal
Authors: Regmi Adhikary Jyoti
Published: March 2023

While a wealth of research has examined how work family conflict (WFC) affects negative work outcomes, there is limited research investigating the relationship of WFC with positive work outcomes. Using a sample of 381 Nepali banking professionals, this study examined the relationships of WFC with career satisfaction and social support. Study also explored how the socio demographic variables affected WFC, career satisfaction, and social support. Analyses indicated no statistically significant relationships of WFC with career satisfaction. Results also indicated association of social support from both work and family with increased career satisfaction. However, social support did not emerge as a significant moderator in the relationship between WFC and career satisfaction. In case of socio-demographic variables, only organizational grouping stood out as significant difference in the level of WFC experience among banking employees. This study has various theoretical and practical implications that are presented along with further research issues.

The income of the farmers is unstable in India since it started. Which affect their livelihood inevitably in resulting their access to health education and employment savings going down day by day. Farmers of the Jharkhand state suffer from low income and unstable income due to low productivity causes of these issues are infertile, backward technology, and climate changes because Jharkhand is located in that kind of geographical area. Thus we see there are many issues for the farmer in Jharkhand in their income and livelihood. All of the above is which can be solved if the farmers adopt the ground-level effect. The ground-level effect is how the farmers will be involved in agriculture development. At the level of farmers the basic need of a farmer is funding to support their deficiency in production and unaffected livelihood these funds should be provided by banks and other financial institutions such as NABARD. This research paper is trying to discuss the issues of farmers in Jharkhand relating to their income and livelihood and suggest some remedies to resolve the issues.

This work is devoted to the theoretical study of the laws of propagation of electromagnetic waves of TE and TM polarization in anisotropic media belonging to classes 4mm, 3m, 6mm, etc. having a magnetoelectric effect. The directions of the vectors of the phase and group velocities of the polarization waves TE and TM at the boundary of a uniaxial crystal with magnetoelectric properties are considered. In the analytical form, the values of the directions of the phase and group velocities of the TE and TM waves are indicated, depending on the direction of the wave vector of the incident wave. The consequences of the obtained results for uniaxial crystals in the absence of magnetoelectric properties are discussed. The solution of the tasks set in this paper is based on the use of the matrix method. On its basis, various problems of wave processes in an isotropic elastic medium, electromagnetic waves in crystals, the distribution of coupled elastic and electromagnetic waves in piezoelectric and piezomagnetic media with a magnetoelectric effect were previously considered. In the presence of a magnetoelectric effect for electromagnetic waves propagating through uniaxial crystals, the parameters of the wave vector, phase and group velocities are determined. The obtained results are analyzed for electromagnetic waves propagating through uniaxial crystals in the absence of a magnetoelectric effect. The indicatrices of the wave vectors propagating in the plane and the phase velocities of the TM polarization waves are limited ( 0 ) x z. Based on the Rayleigh equation, the values of the group velocity are obtained. The density of electromagnetic energy fluxes and their components are determined for TE and TM waves. The energy transfer rate and its direction are determined. It is shown that the group velocities and directions obtained from the Rayleigh equation and the Umov-Poynting vector do not coincide.
Mitigation of the effect of variations in the electrical conductivity of the material via two-frequency eddy current testing of the thickness of the electrically conductive wall under significantly varying influence parameters

Published: March 2023

The paper analyzes feasibility of the two-frequency eddy current method for measuring the thickness of an electrically conductive wall under significantly varying test and influence parameters of the test object — the lift-off between the eddy current probe and the test object surface, and the electrical conductivity of the material. An analytical solution was used to determine the dependence of the two-frequency signal of the surface eddy current probe on the influence parameters of the test object. The informative parameters used to simultaneously mitigate the effect of the two influence parameters were the amplitude of the added high-frequency voltage to determine the lift-off, the phase of the added low-frequency voltage to determine the wall thickness, and the phase of the added high-frequency voltage to suppress variations in the electrical conductivity of the material. The calculated dependences of the informative parameters on the test and influence parameters were analyzed. The use of nonlinear functions of the inverse transformation of the informative parameter into the test parameter was shown to efficiently mitigate the effect of variations in the lift-off on measurement results. A method to suppress variations in the electrical conductivity of the test object material is proposed. It implies the correctionof the phase of the added low-frequency voltage by the correction value calculated from the parameters of the lift-off and wall thickness, and high-frequency phase variation caused by varying the electrical conductivity of the material.

Numerous studies show that non-destructive testing methods satisfy most of the requirements of technical diagnostics of heating networks and technological facilities. Methods of non-destructive testing are based on the observation and automated registration of the temperature state of processes. The developed device is designed to analyze the state of thermal insulation of underground pipelines. The development and research of devices for measuring heat flow requires mandatory consideration of the temperature field of the sensing element, i.e. solutions of the differential equation of thermal conductivity for a body of a certain shape under given boundary conditions. In general, the sensing elements are multi-layered: black coating, calorimetric load, heat-sensitive elements, alternating lacquer and adhesive layers, i.e., the sensing elements are heterogeneous, both in the direction perpendicular to the irradiated surface and in parallel. The heterogeneity in the first case is due to the multi-layering of the sensing element. The article describes solutions to the thermal conductivity equation describing the temperature field of a sensitive element in the form of a hemisphere and a spherical zone, due to the nonequivalence of heat losses during irradiation and calibration by electric current. Taking into account this systematic error makes it possible to increase the accuracy of measuring the energy parameters of radiation. These solutions of the equations formed the basis of the design of the device for measuring heat flow.

A distiquíase é considerada a alteração de cílios mais comum nos cães, tendo maior predisposição em raças braquicefálicas, em decorrência de sua anatomia. Esta afecção pode ocorrer de forma uni ou bilateral, na pálpebra superior e/ou inferior, sendo que, neste estudo, mostrou maior prevalência apenas da pálpebra superior. Caracterizada pela produção de cílios extras na placa tarsal, estes emergem na margem palpebral pelos orifícios livres próximos a glândula de Meibômius e entram em contato direto com a córnea. A córnea é uma área de alta sensibilidade, susceptível às lesões e ulcerações por essas dístiquias, sendo necessário realizar sua remoção. Este estudo, foi realizado com sete cães, de raças distintas, visando apresentar uma abordagem alternativa à epilação mecânica, sendo realizada a remoção dos cílios pela eletrocauterização por laser cirúrgico, mostrando suas vantagens e se esta técnica foi efetiva com relação ao tratamento.
