Automated Underway Eddy Covariance System for Air–Sea Momentum, Heat, and CO2 Fluxes in the Southern Ocean
Authors: Butterworth Brian J. , Miller Scott D.
Published: February 2016

A ruggedized closed-path eddy covariance (EC) system was designed for unattended direct measurements of air–sea momentum, heat, and CO2 flux, and was deployed on the Research Vessel Icebreaker (RV/IB) Nathaniel B. Palmer (NBP), an Antarctic research and supply vessel. The system operated for nine cruises during 18 months from January 2013 to June 2014 in the Southern Ocean and coastal Antarctica, sampling a wide variety of wind, wave, biological productivity, and ice conditions. The methods are described and the results are shown for two cruises chosen for their latitudinal range, inclusion of both open water and sea ice cover, and relatively large air–water CO2 concentration differences (ΔpCO2). Ship flow distortion was addressed by comparing mean winds, fluxes, and cospectra from an array of 3D anemometers at the NBP bow, comparing measured fluxes with bulk formulas, and implementing and evaluating several recently published data processing techniques. Quality-controlled momentum, heat, and CO2 flux data were obtained for 25% of the periods when NBP was at sea, with most (86%) of the rejected periods due to wind directions relative to the ship >±30° from the bow. In contrast to previous studies, no bias was apparent in measured CO2 fluxes for low |ΔpCO2|. The relationship between momentum flux and wind speed showed a clear dependence on the degree of sea ice cover, a result facilitated by the geographical coverage possible with a ship-based approach. These results indicate that ship-based unattended EC in high latitudes is feasible, and recommendations for deployments of underway systems in such environments are provided.
A Comparison of 36–60-h Precipitation Forecasts from Convection-Allowing and Convection-Parameterizing Ensembles
Authors: Iyer Eswar R. , Clark Adam J. , Xue Ming , Kong Fanyou
Published: February 2016

Previous studies examining convection-allowing models (CAMs), as well as NOAA/Hazardous Weather Testbed Spring Forecasting Experiments (SFEs) have typically emphasized “day 1” (12–36 h) forecast guidance. These studies find a distinct advantage in CAMs relative to models that parameterize convection, especially for fields strongly tied to convection like precipitation. During the 2014 SFE, “day 2” (36–60 h) forecast products from a CAM ensemble provided by the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS) at the University of Oklahoma were examined. Quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) from the CAPS ensemble, known as the Storm Scale Ensemble Forecast (SSEF) system, are compared to NCEP’s operational Short Range Ensemble Forecast (SREF) system, which provides lateral boundary conditions for the SSEF, to see if the CAM ensemble outperforms the SREF through forecast hours 36–60. Equitable threat scores (ETSs) were computed for precipitation thresholds ranging from 0.10 to 0.75 in. for each SSEF and SREF member, as well as ensemble means, for 3-h accumulation periods. The ETS difference between the SSEF and SREF peaked during hours 36–42. Probabilistic forecasts were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC area). The SSEF had higher values of ROC area, especially at thresholds ≥ 0.50 in. Additionally, time–longitude diagrams of diurnally averaged rainfall were constructed for each SSEF/SREF ensemble member. Spatial correlation coefficients between forecasts and observations in time–longitude space indicated that the SSEF depicted the diurnal cycle much better than the SREF, which underforecasted precipitation with a peak that had a 3-h phase lag. A minority of SREF members performed well.
Heat-Related Failures on Southeast England’s Railway Network: Insights and Implications for Heat Risk Management
Authors: Ferranti Emma , Chapman Lee , Lowe Caroline , McCulloch Steve , Jaroszweski David , Quinn Andrew
Published: February 2016

High temperatures and heat waves can cause numerous problems for railway infrastructure, such as track buckling, sagging of overhead lines, and the failure of electrical equipment. Without adaptation, these problems are set to increase in a future warmer climate. This study used industry fault data to examine the temporal and spatial distribution of heat-related incidents in southeast England and produce a unique evidence base of the impact of temperature on the rail network. In particular, the analysis explored the concept of failure harvesting, whereby the infrastructure system becomes increasingly resilient to temperature over the course of the summer season (April–September) as the most vulnerable assets fail with each incremental rise in temperature. The analysis supports the hypothesis and clearly shows that a greater number of heat-related incidents occur in the early/midsummer season before reducing significantly, despite equivalently high temperatures. This failure harvesting and the consequential increased resilience of the railway infrastructure system over the course of the summer season could permit an innovative and dynamic new approach to heat risk management on the railway network. New approaches that would reduce the disruption and delays and improve service are explored here.
Alcohol Effects on Stress Pathways
Authors: Blaine Sara K. , Milivojevic Verica , Fox Helen , Sinha Rajita
Published: February 2016

A significant amount of neurobiological research regarding the development of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) has focused on alcohol-related activation and long-term alterations in the mesocortical dopaminergic reward pathways. However, alcohol does not only interact with brain reward systems. Many of its acute and chronic effects may be related to allostatic adaptations in hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic stress regulation pathways. For example, acute binge intoxication is associated with hypothalamically driven increases in blood cortisol, norepinephrine, and sex steroid metabolite levels. This may contribute to the development of mesocortical sensitization to alcohol. Furthermore, chronic alcohol exposure is associated with systemic dysregulation of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis, sympathetic adrenal medullary system, and sex steroid systems. This dysregulation appears to manifest as neuroendocrine tolerance. In this review, we first summarize the literature suggesting that alcohol-induced alterations in these hypothalamic systems influence craving and contribute to the development of AUDs. We note that for women, the effects of alcohol on these neuroendocrine stress regulation systems may be influenced by the rhythmic variations of hormones and steroids across the menstrual cycle. Second, we discuss how changes in these systems may indicate progression of AUDs and increased risk of relapse in both sexes. Specifically, neuroendocrine tolerance may contribute to mesocortical sensitization, which in turn may lead to decreased prefrontal inhibitory control of the dopaminergic reward and hypothalamic stress systems. Thus, pharmacological strategies that counteract alcohol-associated changes in hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic stress regulation pathways may slow the development and progression of AUDs.
The influence of system design-related factors on the safety performance of metro drivers
Authors: Rjabovs Aleksandrs , Palacin Roberto
Published: February 2016

Although it is accepted that system design affects train driver performance, the literature related to this phenomenon – in relation to urban railways and metro systems in particular – is scarce. Metro systems differ significantly from mainline railways, being closed systems, with shorter headways, a greater number of stations and more signals encountered. This paper aims to investigate the effects of design-related performance shaping factors on metro driver performance, by analysing historical incident records for the 2011–2013 period on the Tyne & Wear (T&W) Metro (UK). Bivariate statistical analysis has been used, to assess the potential inter-dependency of the performance shaping factors and other common causal factors, for various driver-related incident types. In addition to category A signals passed at danger incidents, station overruns, and incidents associated with station procedures have also been assessed. The results show the significant importance of the location (design) based performance shaping factors in incident propagation mechanisms in the Metro. The two years under investigation display increased consistency between driver-related incidents and locations, rather than time of day, or season. In addition, the highest correlation between incidents has been found in terms of locations. Deviations from a standardised T&W Metro station design were found to associate with either an increase or decrease in incident rates, depending on whether additional complexity or simplicity was introduced. Although the features of metro systems suggest improved route knowledge and system familiarity among drivers, the results show that this can actually lead to an unsatisfactory safety-related performance during non-routine operations, e.g. engineering works, or driving in sidings.
Analysis of structure importance of compensation capacitor in jointless track circuit
Authors: Zhao Linhai , Maggie Guo Yi , Klein Barbara D
Published: February 2016

This paper models the input signal amplitude of the main track and the small track of the adjacent jointless track circuit (JTC) when JTC is idle and the track circuit reader(TCR) received signal amplitude when JTC is occupied, based on the work mechanism of JTC and TCR. Based on the models, the relative impact of compensation capacitor on signal amplitude is obtained by simulation. The paper further proposes a calculation method for structure importance of compensation capacitors. Experimental results indicate that the rankings of structure importance are not affected by ballast resistance of JTC in this method. The results also show that the compensation capacitors closer to the receiving end are more important than those closer to the sending end. In addition, C2, C6, and C3 closer to receiving end are the most important and should be paid close attention during maintenance. The second, the first and the fifth capacitor from the sending end, have less impact on the JTC and TCR signal. This paper is helpful to determine the maintenance priority of each capacitor, optimize the maintenance strategy, and make better use of JTC.

Published: February 2016

Objectives

Benefits of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) use on physician reported outcomes are well documented in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We assess for the first time the association and predictive value of blood HCQ levels towards health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in SLE.

Methods

Data from the PLUS study (a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study) were utilized. Blood HCQ levels were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography along with HRQOL assessments (Medical Outcomes Study-SF-36) at baseline (V1) and month 7 (V2).

Results

166 SLE patients’ data were analysed. Mean (SD) age and disease duration were 44.4 (10.7) and 9.3 (6.8) years. Eighty-seven per cent were women. Mean (SD, median, IQR) HCQ concentrations in the blood at V1 were 660 (314, 615, 424) ng/ml and increased to 1020 (632, 906, 781) ng/ml at V2 (mean difference 366 units, 95% confidence interval −472 to −260, p < 0.001). No significant correlations between HCQ concentrations with HRQOL domains at V1 or V2 were noted. There were no differences in HRQOL stratified by HCQ concentrations. HCQ concentrations at V1 or changes in HCQ concentration (V2-V1) were not predictive of HRQOL at V2 or changes in HRQOL (V2-V1).

Conclusions

No association of HCQ concentrations with current or longitudinal HRQOL were found in SLE.
Barriers to Business Start-up among Tanzanian University Graduates: Evidence from the University of Dar-es-salaam
Authors: Katundu Mangasini Atanasi , Gabagambi Damian Mulokozi
Published: February 2016

This article assesses barriers to business start-ups among university graduates by drawing evidence from the University of Dar-es-salaam. A cross-sectional research design was used with a sample comprising 308 graduates and 10 key informants. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and key informant interview checklist and were analysed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) whereby confirmatory factor analysis was performed using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Pearson’s chi-square was used to test whether graduates who had not studied entrepreneurship and those who had studied entrepreneurship reported different start-up barriers. It was found that inappropriate teaching methods, lack of business experience, deficiencies in the university programmes, commitments on extended families and bureaucratic tendencies had greater contribution to hindering business start-ups. It was concluded that entrepreneurship study influenced the way graduates perceived the barriers; it was observed that graduates who studied entrepreneurship reported different start-up barriers from those reported by their counterparts. The results were statistically significant at p-value < 0.05. Higher learning institutions should adopt competent based curricula in order to impart necessary business skills to students and use the business apprenticeship approach while students are still on studies.
A Study on the Impact of Key Entrepreneurial Skills on Business Success of Indian Micro-entrepreneurs: A Case of Jharkhand Region
Authors: Chatterjee Namrata , Das Niladri
Published: February 2016

This article is an attempt to analyze the skill-related dimensions of micro-entrepreneurs in the state of Jharkhand in India. A sample of 147entrepreneurs with valid responses was collected from three districts of Jharkhand, namely, Dhanbad, Bokaro and Ranchi. The demographic characteristics of these regions have been represented to give an insight into the region where the study has been conducted. Five dimensions of skills, namely, leadership skills, communication skills, human relation skills, technical skills and inborn aptitude, have been identified from previous literatures. Success has been measured as a perceived chance of business success. The study primarily analyzes the strength of the relationship of the skills with success. The questionnaire survey method was employed to collect data for conducting the study. Descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple linear regressions have been used as statistical tools for analysis. The findings of the study show the relationship and the effect of the skills on the success of micro-entrepreneurs, thereby leading to implications that leave further scope for future research. The study has helped in contributing to the existing literatures in this segment of the research.
Surviving the post-broadcast era: The international context for Australia’s ABC
Authors: Turner Graeme
Published: February 2016

While much of the discussion of the current condition of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has been very much located within the Australian context, there is some point to widening the frame and considering the situation of the ABC within a more international context. In many locations, the rationale for the public broadcaster – the provision of information, education and entertainment for the public good – has not easily survived what has been dubbed the post-broadcast era, increasingly shaped by commercialisation, neo-liberalism, de-regulation and privatisation. The tendencies in the Australian context are not as clear as the international ones, however, and so the comparison between the international and the national contexts frames the account developed by this article.
Transnational war memories in Australia’s heritage field
Authors: Waterton Emma , Dittmer Jason
Published: February 2016

Academic interest in Australia’s heritage field has developed primarily around the ways its subject has been used to support dominant national interests. Understandings of heritage, however, are increasingly shaped by developments occurring in other nation-states, as well as those occurring at the international level. This article considers the changing nature of Australian notions of heritage within the context of the ‘transnational turn’. It does so in two ways. First, the article traces talk of transnationalism at a general level, considering especially theorisations around a materialist understanding of memory. Second, it considers what new representations of the past such a theorisation might call forth in the Australian context. As a point of illustration, the article focuses on the specific case of Australian war memories and their articulation within the heritage field.
Resolution measures for 3D magnetic inversions
Authors: Pilkington Mark
Published: February 2016

Inversion of magnetic data into 3D models is becoming commonplace. The theoretical basis of the method is well established and has been extended to include constraints based on physical properties and geologic information. Nevertheless, only limited attention is paid to assessing the reliability of computed models, which usually involves deriving some measure of how well features within the models can be resolved. Resolution lengths determined from resolution matrices can be unrealistically small, suggesting that the recovered models are more reliable than they really are. One cause of this effect is the calculated model itself, which directly influences the character of the resolving functions. We have developed an approximate resolution measure not affected by the calculated model, and we found it to give more realistic resolving lengths. This approximation is computationally less demanding and can be calculated prior to inversion. It suggests that the resolution length is equal to the depth of the parameter or model feature of interest.
Seismic attribute detection of faults and fluid pathways within an active strike-slip shear zone: New insights from high-resolution 3D P-Cable™ seismic data along the Hosgri Fault, offshore California
Authors: Kluesner Jared W. , Brothers Daniel S.
Published: February 2016

Poststack data conditioning and neural-network seismic attribute workflows are used to detect and visualize faulting and fluid migration pathways within a [Formula: see text] 3D P-Cable™ seismic volume located along the Hosgri Fault Zone offshore central California. The high-resolution 3D volume used in this study was collected in 2012 as part of Pacific Gas and Electric’s Central California Seismic Imaging Project. Three-dimensional seismic reflection data were acquired using a triple-plate boomer source (1.75 kJ) and a short-offset, 14-streamer, P-Cable system. The high-resolution seismic data were processed into a prestack time-migrated 3D volume and publically released in 2014. Postprocessing, we employed dip-steering (dip and azimuth) and structural filtering to enhance laterally continuous events and remove random noise and acquisition artifacts. In addition, the structural filtering was used to enhance laterally continuous edges, such as faults. Following data conditioning, neural-network based meta-attribute workflows were used to detect and visualize faults and probable fluid-migration pathways within the 3D seismic volume. The workflow used in this study clearly illustrates the utility of advanced attribute analysis applied to high-resolution 3D P-Cable data. For example, results from the fault attribute workflow reveal a network of splayed and convergent fault strands within an approximately 1.3 km wide shear zone that is characterized by distinctive sections of transpressional and transtensional dominance. Neural-network chimney attribute calculations indicate that fluids are concentrated along discrete faults in the transtensional zones, but appear to be more broadly distributed amongst fault bounded anticlines and structurally controlled traps in the transpressional zones. These results provide high-resolution, 3D constraints on the relationships between strike-slip fault mechanics, substrate deformation, and fluid migration along an active fault system offshore central California.
Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair
Authors: Bivins Joy L.
Published: February 2016

Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair was a costume exhibition that debuted at the Chicago History Museum in March 2013. The project explored and examined the history and impact of Ebony Fashion Fair, a traveling fashion show produced by Chicago’s Johnson Publishing Company from 1958 until 2009. This paper identifies the curatorial vision for the exhibition by identifying the project’s concept, major goals, and themes. Inspiring Beauty featured more than sixty ensembles by some of the most recognizable names in mid- to late-twentieth-century fashion. In this way, it mirrored the traveling show’s objective to bring the best in international fashion to its audiences. The exhibition, however, explored more than stellar fashion—it attempted to reveal the fashion show’s power to deeply resonate with the African American women who comprised the majority of its audience. Through the Ebony Fashion Fair, Johnson Publishing Company brought exclusive design into very public spaces and featured it on black bodies. The traveling show reiterated the publishing company’s project of featuring the best in black life, and it used fashion, beauty, and glamour to accomplish that end.
Hair Craft Project
Authors: Clark Sonya
Published: February 2016

The Hair Craft Project is an exercise in socially engaged art practices, based on the premise that hairdressing is the primordial textile art form. Sonya Clark, artist and project director, sought to bridge multiple communities: African American hair salons; students, faculty, and alumni of Virginia Commonwealth University’s nationally ranked arts programs; and the broader art community. The project frames the complex craftsmanship, engineering, and skill of hairstylists specializing in African hair-braiding techniques in cultural, historical, and contemporary-art contexts. The Hair Craft Project is innovative in its methods of attracting, building, and bridging audiences while supporting and acknowledging the parallel skills of artists and hairstylists. Through this art form, the project connected cultures, class, and race in Richmond, Virginia, a city with a history of being racially, culturally, and economically divided. The project went on to gain national attention. It was selected by artists Leonardo Drew, Katherina Grosse, and the late founder of Art 21, Susan Sollins, for the Juror’s Grand Prize at Art Prize in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in fall 2014. The Hair Craft Project will travel to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in Fall 2015.
A Brief History of African Fashion
Authors: Jennings Helen
Published: February 2016

In the last decade, a new generation of designers in Africa and the wider diaspora has started to rise through the fashion industry’s ranks. These talents are riding the wider wave of global interest in Africa’s cultural, economic, and technological ascension and are also taking advantage of improved infrastructure, education, and governance. According to the World Bank, Africa now boasts seven of the ten fastest growing economies. In addition, over 300 million Africans can currently be considered as middle class, while the number of high-net-worth individuals continues to grow. International investment is flooding into the continent, and the manufacturing, financial, corporate, technology, and telecommunications sectors are booming. This has a trickle-down effect not just upon fashion but all of the creative industries. Music, literature, film, and art are all gaining traction. Added to this is the fact that an estimated seventy percent of Africa’s population is under the age of thirty. It is this new generation of upwardly mobile designers who, possessed with a global vision, are beginning to shine so brightly. Whereas fashion was not traditionally seen as a viable occupation within Africa, today’s designers are making desirable, well-made, well-marketed collections that hang from rails all over the world.

Features Samples Cardiointervals: Chaos and Stochastics in the Description of Complex Biosystems

Complex Biosystems (complexity) cannot be attributed to traditional chaotic systems, because for them it is impossible to calculate the autocorrelation function, Lyapunov exponent, no run properties of mixing, continuously the state vector x(t) demonstrates chaotic motion in the form άχίάίΦθ. Since the initial state x(to) is arbitrarily unrepeatable for such systems, type-one uncertainty and type-two uncertainty arise. Type-one uncertainty is characterized by absence of statistically significant differences between samples. The authors propose neurocomputing methods and theory of chaos and self-organization to differentiate these samples. The authors present examples of such a situation for the parameters of the cardio-respiratory system of humans in conditions of the latitudinal displacement of large groups of people. It is shown that the neuroemulator not only solves the problem of binary classification, but also identifies the order parameters in diagnostic signs. It is very important to increase the number of iterations in the repetition of binary classification. The number of iteration (when we repeat the neuroemulator procedure) has the fundamental role for identification of order parameters. Errors are possible within the order parameters with the high number of iterations.

The paper shows the feasibility of applying the method of multi-dimensional phase space as a quantitative measure for the evaluation of chaotic dynamics on the example of the muscles (flexor of the little finger). The method of multi-dimensional phase space was used. In the study and modeling of complex biological objects (complexity) there is the possibility of introducing traditional physical methods in biological research and new methods based on the chaos theory and self-organization. As a measure of the state of the neuromuscular system of the person (weak muscle tension and strong, almost the maximum force), the authors used quasi-attractors volumes of multidimensional phase space. This enables identification of the actual measurements of the parameters of the functional state with weak muscles (Fi = 5 daN) and strong (Fi = 10 daN) static stress. The authors built a timebase signal received from the electromyograph

and the autocorrelation function A(t) of signal. A biomechanical analysis of the state of the system is carried out on the basis of comparison of the volume VG quasi attractor, as well as on the basis of the analysis of the Shannon entropy E. Volume of quasi attractor VG displacements under low load is slightly less than the same volume displacement VG with strong exertion of the muscles of the flexor of the little finger, exactly the same as the values of the Shannon entropy under a heavy load increases compared to the values obtained under low load the muscles.

A clinical medicine usually uses the amplitude-frequency characteristics of recorded biopotentials. The paper presents still chaotic dynamics, which takes place for the autocorrelation function A(t) and statistic function of distribution fix). It is proposed two new approaches for estimation of parameters of electroencephalograms. The first is based on the construction of the matrix of pairwise comparisons of recorded samples of brain potentials in subjects in different physiological (mental) states: with photostimulation and without it. The second method is based on calculating the parameters of quasi-attractors, which are built on the plane in the coordinates x1=U(t) - a function that changes due to registration of biopotential in current point and x2=dx1/dt - rate of change of x1. The quasi-attractors in this two-dimensional phase space are quantitatively different options for patients (epilepsy) and healthy subjects. It is possible to construct a three-compartmental model quasi-attractor in the phase space of states, which is also discussed. It was demonstrated the stochastic of function fix) for normal and pathological patients. It was proved the nonfictions of entropy parameter for the EEG modeling.
Causes And Effects of Premature Delivery
Authors: Кузибаева  , Kuzibaeva R.
Published: February 2016

Premature delivery is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality of newborns. The article presents the analysis of preterm birth in the perinatal center of Tula region. Depending on the causes of premature birth the author formed three groups. The 1-st group (n=32) included spontaneous preterm births, the 2nd group (n=115) -premature birth as a result of prenatal rupture of membranes, the 3st group (n=180) included preterm births for medical reasons. In all three groups, the demographic data, age, and parity were analyzed. The problem is the development of complex diagnostic techniques for the purpose of prognosis and preventive measures for pregnant women, because at present the obtained results do not allow us to accurately predict a preterm birth and to identify clearly the criteria for their possible development. Reduction of morbidity and mortality in newborns can be achieved through the timely identification of pregnant women at high risk, methods of prevention of preterm birth, quality of treatment and nursing of low-birth-weight infants [1]. This is of paramount importance not only in the formation of a healthy generation from a very early period of their lives and health, but also for the reproductive potential of women in the future [8].

With use of the new methodological approach the changes of structure of water and aqueous solutions are investigated at the various influences including change of temperature, influence of magnetic field, influence of a material of a surface in boundary layer and other factors.

It is shown, that rising (depression) of electric capacity and (or) Q of an oscillatory circuit at the used influences reflect an ascending (a decrease) of mobility of dipoles of water in a variable electric floor (at usual and (or) resonant regimens of its influence) and, obviously, testify to decrease (augmentation) of structure of water and aqueous solutions. The structure of water and aqueous solutions, evidentiary, depends on the amount of free molecules of water and associate molecules of water, for example, in cluster, hydrated formations and interaction between them, and also from change of concentration of the dissolved gases.
Current State of the Treatment Problem of Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C (Literature Review)
Authors: Афонина  , Afonina E. , Смекалкина  , Smekalkina L.
Published: February 2016

Contemporary views of experts on integrated healthcare and psychological approach to diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis С are presented in review. Combined mental disorders were found to have a maladaptive effect on patients to determine the severity of clinical status when standard treatment was used in patients. The use of interferons, common in this disease, provokes more than half of the patients the psychiatric symptoms, especially depressive. Psychosomatic and somatopsychic maladaptive interactions have an impact on patients, cause some problems and lead often to disability of people of working age. In practice, the doctor of the infectious department pays little attention to psychological aspects of care management of such patients. The researchers are now actively seeking the optimal combination of standard antiviral therapy and modern methods of psychological correction taking into account comorbid mental maladjustment. Long-term pharmacotherapy with the use of traditional psychotropic drugs is an additional unwanted burden on the liver. Timely diagnosis and correction of concomitant mental disorders in the patients with hepatitis С in somatic hospitals by complementary non-pharmacological methods, is a very urgent task.

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the parameters of the cardiovascular system of the

female population of Ugra from the standpoint of chaotic and stochastic approaches. It was found that the

chaotic dynamics of HRV parameters in a number of comparisons of groups of women indigenous and nonindigenous

population shows belonging to the same general population, i.e. there is the uncertainty of the first

order. Using neural network technologies allowed not only to identify the differences between the groups, but

also to identify the relevant parameters of the order of HRV.

The living systems (complexity, homeostatic systems) are a special systems of the third type

of complexity in natural science and for such systems it is impossible to determine the stationary state in

form of dx/dt=0 (deterministic approach) or in the form of invariance of distribution function f(x) for samples

acquired in a row of, the any component xi of all vectors of state x=x(t) =(x1,x2,…,xm)T in m‐dimensional phase

space of states. At the same time the mixing property doesn’t met (no invariant measures), the autocorrelation

functions A(t) don’t tend to zero if t→∞, Lyapunov’s constants can continuously change the sign. Such

systems of the third type (complexity) do not meet the condition of Glansdorff – Prigogine’s theorem, i.e. P ‐

the rate of increase of entropy E (P=dE/dt) doesn’t minimized near the point of maximum entropy E (i.e., at

point of thermodynamic equilibrium). It is proposed to use the concept of quasi‐attractors to describe the

complexity.

The data of studies of the new antioxidant agent Enoxifol (2‐(3,4‐dioxyphenyl)‐9‐

diethylaminoethylimidazo[1.2‐a] benzimidazole dihydrobromide) (10 mg/kg) action on spatial orientation

and memory in rats using Morris test in comparison to Mexidol (2‐ethyl‐6‐methyl‐3‐oxypyridine succinate)

(100 mg/kg) are presented. Morris water maze test is widely used to evaluate spatial orientation and memory

in experimental animals. Mexidol was taken as the native etalon antioxidant drug having the wide spectrum of psychotropic activities. It was shown that Enoxifol significantly 3 fold diminished the time of platform

finding at the first day of investigation. Mexidol has a tendency to decrease that index as well. At the

second day of testing only Mexidol allowed rats to keep the memorable track, and the time of platform finding

was similar to those in the fourth try at the fist day. Enoxifol significantly 4.88 fold increased the rate of

reproduction of the information in the repeated study from the first to the fourth try. Thus the conducted

experiments allowed to establish the effective action of Mexidol and Enoxifol at the different stages of the

memorable track formation and ability of animals for leaning.
