Authors: Stepina E. A. , Ovchinnikova N. V. , Chetina A. A. , Khlynova О. V.
Published: July 2024

Introduction. Stomach cancer is a serious problem of modern medicine and is one of the most common malignant diseases in the world, being in fourth place among the causes of death from cancer. Most patients seek medical help in the late stages of the disease and, as a result, mortality during the first year after diagnosis is about 50 %.

Description. A case of clinical observation of a patient with diagnosed ring-cell carcinoma of the stomach is presented. In the course of the description, key aspects that require attention in determining risk factors, examination tactics and management of a patient with suspected malignant gastric disease are highlighted.

Conclusions. Detection of the disease in the early stages allows not only to significantly increase the patient’s chances of a complete cure, but also to carry out therapy using the most gentle methods. The differential diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease and infiltrative gastric cancer is particularly difficult. Comprehensive clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination of patients contributes to the early establishment of a correct diagnosis and, as a result, timely surgical treatment.

Authors: Мухаметова Айгуль Данияровна
Published: July 2024

В современных условиях стратегически важным становится формирование траектории регионального экономического развития, приоритетами которой является сбалансированное и оптимальное использование совокупного потенциала. Однако проблема «недоиспользования» сформированного человеческого капитала остается серьезной во всех российских регионах, особенно в условиях внешнеэкономической нестабильности и ограничений. Ключевая причина такой ситуации нам видится в несоответствии спроса и предложения человеческого капитала. Поэтому цель исследования – предложение сценариев регионального экономического развития на основе использования человеческого капитала исходя из результатов анализа. При этом объекты исследования – характер и региональные особенности использования человеческого капитала в 85 субъектах РФ. В рамках данного исследования субъекты РФ сгруппированы по характеру регионального экономического развития. В целях повышения эффективности управления для каждой группы регионов были предложены сценарии, позволяющие определять траекторию регионального экономического развития в будущем.

Authors: Волоцков Алексей Анатольевич
Published: July 2024

Проектное управление в государственном секторе с начала XX века переживает новый период активности, а внедрение проектного менеджмента в практику государственного регулирования прошло ряд этапов. Появление национальных проектов (далее НП) «первой», «второй» и уже анонсированные в 2024 году Президентом РФ В. Путиным НП «третьей» волны доказало, что проектное управление в государственном секторе с начала XX века переживает новый период активности, а внедрение проектного менеджмента в практику государственного регулирования стало масштабным. Национальный проект «Туризм и индустрия гостеприимства», реализуемый относительно недавно (2021–2024 гг.), влияет на достижение главных национальных целей развития России, что подчеркивает его межотраслевой, сквозной характер. В настоящее время для этого проекта установлено 7 показателей, по 6 из которых официальную статистическую информацию формирует Минэкономразвития России, по одному – Росстат. В состав Национального проекта «Туризм и индустрия гостеприимства» входят три федеральных проекта, каждый из которых направлен на решение задач и (или) достижение общественно значимого результата по достижению национальных целей развития. В рамках данного национального проекта предусмотрена масштабная работа с объектами капитального строительства, однако пока только треть российских регионов (30 из 89) имеют такие объекты, в числе лидеров по их количеству – Нижегородская область и Карачаево-Черкессия. В национальном проекте заложен емкий синергетический эффект, обусловленный интеграционным механизмом его реализации в рамках компетенций более 12 министерств и ведомств.

Алгоритм построения системно-объектной трёхмерной классификации
Authors: Гуль Светлана Владимировна
Published: July 2024

В работе рассматривается оригинальный способ преодоления недостатков современных классификаций, главным из которых является тот факт, что при построении классификации не применяется системный подход и системный анализ. Описана процедура построения трёхмерных классификаций, позволяющая учесть системные характеристики любой предметной области, а также системные отношения поддержания функциональной способности целого между классами в родовидовой классификации. Предлагаемая процедура, основанная на системно-объектном подходе «Узел-Функция-Объект», позволяет практически использовать идеи многомерного и естественного классифицирования и строить классификации в трёх плоскостях по видам функционального запроса (внешней детерминанты) к системе, по видам процессов становления, функционирования системы (внутренней детерминанты) и по видам получаемых результатов (субстанции). Описан вариант формализации модели трёхмерной классификации средствами дескрипционной логики SHOIQ. На основе описанной процедуры разработан и представлен алгоритм построения системно-объектной трёхмерной  классификации. Намечены пути дальнейшего исследования и формулирования технического задания на разработку программного инструментария, реализующего представленный алгоритм.

In the Russian Federation, cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of both morbidity and mortality and high economic costs of healthcare. Early identification of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and their primary prevention underlie the ongoing process to reduce these indicators. The purpose of this work was to conduct a clinical and epidemiological study to analyze the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in young and middle-aged people living in the Oryol region. Materials and methods: The prospective study included 353 young and middle-aged patients with acute forms of coronary artery disease (unstable angina and myocardial infarction) and 112 apparently healthy individuals. All respondents were assessed for cardiovascular risk factors and patient adherence to treatment, for a total of 21 parameters. Results: according to the study, it was found that among young and middle-aged patients living in the Oryol region, IHD develops against the background of traditional risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, the prevailing ones being arterial hypertension (88.6 %), sedentary lifestyle (68 %), poor nutrition (53.0 %) and alcohol consumption (52 %), their gender differences were established. Conclusion. The analysis of the frequency of occurrence of cardiovascular risk factors showed their widespread prevalence among the population, low awareness of the population and insufficient adherence of patients to treatment.

The innovative method of zygomatic implantation is a rational method of dental rehabilitation for extreme resorption of the alveolar ridge. However, like any method, it is associated with certain disadvantages. These include: difficult surgical access requiring significant experience, risk of orbital injury, prolonged speech dysfunction, postoperative sinusitis, oroantral fistula, periorbital and conjunctival hematoma. The aim of the study was to evaluate the long–term results of maxillofacial and dental rehabilitation using zygomatic implantation. A comparative analysis of the obtained data revealed a significantly lower frequency of early postoperative complications with the use of zygomatic implantation 3 (2,6 % p = 0,112) compared with classical implantation 8 (11,5 % p < 0,002). There were no cases of zygomatic implants rejection, unlike traditional implantation, 8 (11,5 % p < 0,002). Conclusion. Rehabilitation of patients with extreme alveolar process resorption using zygomatic implants has shown high efficiency, with a significantly lower frequency of local complications and fewer lost implants compared with traditional implantation.

In the post-covid period, changes occur in the oral cavity, which may be caused by the action of a new coronavirus infection. Studies show that the virus can negatively affect the cells of the oral mucosa, which in turn leads to a decrease in local immunity. The lack of protective factors makes the body more vulnerable to the virus and can lead to complications. The aim of the study is to analyze changes in the parameters of immunoglobulins in oral fluid of patients before and after a new coronavirus infection. The literature analysis was carried using the following scientometric databases: PubMed, Scopus, Google Academy, Rospatent, RSCI. This article describes changes in the composition of saliva and a decrease in its amount in the post-covoid period and provides links to 39 scientific publications. Literature analysis showed that, in the post-covid period, changes in the parameters of secretory IgA, salivation rate of saliva and lysozyme activity occur in saliva and oral fluid.

Currently, the World Health Organization, in its annual Global Tuberculosis Report, notes an increase in the incidence of tuberculosis in the world associated with the failure of health systems. In 2022, 7.5 million people worldwide were diagnosed with tuberculosis, the highest rate since 1995. In the Russian Federation, the stabilization of reduced morbidity and mortality rates from tuberculosis infection is currently being determined. Patients with tuberculosis often have comorbid and concomitant diseases, which are one of the main causes that impressively affect the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory periodontal diseases. There is a pathogenetic relationship and aggravation of the course of diseases. The aim of the study is to analyze the course of chronic generalized periodontitis in a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis and to select personalized therapy. A clinical case of combined pathology (dental and infectious diseases) is presented, which was observed on the basis of the pulmonary therapeutic department of the N.S. Pokhvisneva KUZ in the VOKPTD. The conducted studies allowed us to conclude about the positive effect of a personalized approach in treatment.

Annotation. The aim of the study is to compare the data obtained from the cutting of the jawbone in the maxillary sinus and the measurements obtained during the study of CBCT data. CBCT has been found to be sufficiently accurate to assess the anatomical topographic features of the maxillary sinus structure, with high research reliability. The accuracy of CBCT is comparable to that of the skeletal skull, making CBCT a reliable tool for studying maxillary sinus anatomy. Materials and methods. 48 certified skulls were studied. According to CBCT data, a three-dimensional model was constructed for each maxillary sinus by direct and indirect methods. To measure the parameters on the skull, a barbell rod was used with a follow-up check. Results. The corresponding metric characteristics are obtained: the volume of the sinus varies from 8.30 ± 1.48 cm3 to 41.92 ± 0.94 cm3, the tip of the anterior root of 1.7 teeth was from the bottom of the sinus, on average, by 4.86 ± 0.18 mm, 2.6 teeth – 4.04 ± 0.72 mm; which must be taken into account when performing interventions. Conclusions. The combination of CBCT and direct analysis provides the most complete understanding of the structure and variations of the structure of the sinus structure.

Endodontic therapy is aimed at cleaning the root canal system and creating barriers to prevent re-infection of roots and peripical tissues. The presence of persistent bacteria or reinfection of a previously mechanically treated and disinfected root system causes the development of apical periodontitis and the need to implement surgical aids. Against the background of an increase in the number of patients of older age groups, characterized by obliteration of the root canal system, the relevance of surgical aids for apical periodontitis increases. At the same time, based on their own life experience, patients of older age groups may perceive the refusal to perform orthodontic therapy and the offer of surgical benefits as age-related egoism. Purpose of work: to study the severity of periapical changes and indications for surgical intervention among patients of older age groups. Materials and methods. The endodontic and periapical status of 300 patients was assessed in the 1st subgroup aged 60 to 70 years and the 2nd subgroup aged over 71 years. The results of the study. The greatest number of ageist conclusions in assessing the feasibility of providing surgical benefits was revealed in women with higher education.

Published: July 2024

In this paper, a probability model is proposed which engaged the mathematical combination of Lindley distribution and a trigonometric component known as haversine function〖 δ〗_s. The one parameter model prototype sustains the capacity to forecast multimodal decreasing trend sinusoidal outcomes. By nomenclature, the proposed probability model is called Modified Lindley Trigonometric Distribution (MLTD). Some statistical properties studied include the hazard function, mean residual life function, moments, conditional moments and moment generating function, Bonferroni and Lorenz curve, entropy, asymptotic distribution, order statistics, and parameter estimation; where the hazard function specially features a cyclic or periodic bathtub and inverted bathtub shape in chain format. The numerical behavior of the estimates of the average bias and mean square error were examined under Monte Carlo simulation approach; and an applicative simulation is experimented to underscore the parametric behavior of MLTD in data modeling. A real life flood data is used to illustrate the essence of the development.

Authors: H. A. Egwuonwu
Published: July 2024

This study analyzed the effectiveness of the crop farmers' use of indigenous knowledge on land degradation control practices in Imo State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select 180 crop farmers for the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using mean, percentages, and multiple regression analysis. Crop farmers perceived zero tillage to help in conserving soil texture (x̄=3.52), replanting of deforested areas enables them to maintain vegetative cover (x̄=3.45), use of organic manure to improve soil's organic matter contents (x̄=3.42) and controlling both water and wind erosions by making ridges (x̄=3.30) and rainwater harvesting (x̄=3.10) as highly effective in controlling soil degradation. Age, marital status, educational level, household size, monthly income, membership of association, extension contact and farm size) They significantly influenced their perceived effectiveness of using indigenous knowledge on land degradation control. The major constraints faced by crop farmers were inadequate funds to practice land degradation control practices (99.44%) and limited availability of farmland (98.31%), poor extension contact (86.44%), poor knowledge and education of land degradation control processes (86.44%), poor government support (81.92%) and poor access to information (75.14%). The study concludes that crop farmers experienced soil degradation and were practicing indigenous land degradation, although some factors constrained them. Therefore, crop farmers should come together to transform their indigenous knowledge and control practices, thereby discussing and looking for the best way to tackle their peculiar land degradation challenges.

Contamination of water sources by infectious pathogens has been recognized as a global threat to public health especially in underdeveloped countries. This study was carried out to survey the parasitic load (eggs and cysts) of protozoan parasites found in well water sources in four different locations in Awka South Local Government area of Anambra state (Ifite-Awka, Amansea, Amaenyi and Temp site). A total of forty (40) well water samples were collected across the four locations and examined in the laboratory using centrifugation and sedimentation methods. Data obtained was analyzed using simple percentages and chi-square was used to test for differences in the parasites abundance in the different locations. A total abundance of 141 parasitic stages of Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium parvum were found in the well water samples across the study locations. Among the study locations, Amansea recorded the highest prevalence of protozoa parasites 51(36.17%) while Amaenyi area revealed the least infection rate 23(16.31%). Giardia lamblia 72(51.06%) was more abundant in the well water samples examined followed by Entamoeba histolytica 64(45.39%) while Cryptosporidium parvum 5(3.55%) was the least abundant protozoa parasite. The result revealed that the highest abundance of parasites was recorded in Amansea 51(36.17%) followed by Temp site 38(26.95%) while Amaenyi had the least 23(16.31%). The results showed the extent of parasitic contamination of the well sources across the study areas and the susceptibility of the populace to water-borne diseases. Hence, water obtained from these wells should be properly boiled before drinking, to avoid being infected.

Published: July 2024

Previously, studies reported inconclusive findings while analyzing the influence of factors affecting online purchase intention. Also, most studies were conducted in the context of developed countries, limiting us to a specific context. Hence, for comprehensive understanding, this study aims at examining the factors affecting the online purchase intention in the e-commerce industry of Jordan. The survey was conducted to collect data from university students in Jordan. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data. Findings show that attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control are positively associated with online purchase intention. However, perceived risks are negatively associated with online purchase intention. Although all factors are significantly related to online purchase intention, the attitude has a greater influence. This study adds value to the theory of planned behavior and consumer behavior by examining attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and perceived risks as important predictors of online purchase intention. Besides, this study suggests that online retailers must keep their commitments, promises, and customers’ interests in mind while developing e-commerce strategies.

The concept of the “Metaverse” is a three-dimensional virtual world that relies on simulations of reality to represent real-life experiences, and it can be classified as the next generation in using the Internet. In this research, we will examine the factors that may influence user acceptance of metaverse and the relationships between these variables highlight how different factors can be examined. The goal of understanding these factors is to determine how Metaverse developers can improve this technology to meet user expectations and enable users to better interact with this technology. To achieve this goal, a sample of 312 students’ participants from different age groups was selected to respond to an online Likert scale questionnaire ranging from) strongly disagree equal) to (strongly agree equal 5). The study found that perceived enjoyment significantly positively influences technology metaverse application. Moreover, perceived curiosity and perceived self-efficacy positively influence technology application metaverse transitions. In addition, perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) positively influence the attitude toward using the Metaverse technology/application, which means that all the previous factors have an overall positive effect on the attitude toward using the Metaverse technology application.

Published: July 2024

Using the frameworks of the Theory of Use and Gratification (UGT) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2), this study explores the factors that influence individual behavior and behavioral goals in the adoption of digital banking. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is used in the analysis of research data using the program SmartPLS 3.2.9 professional. There are 432 people in the research sample that filled out questionnaires. The results show that behavioral intentions are strongly influenced by the integration of UGT-UTAUT2 by 60.3%. Performance and effort expectations are influenced by cognitive needs, effort expectations are influenced by affective needs, and social influence is impacted by social needs. Behavioral intentions for the use of digital banking are shaped by a combination of factors such as price value, hedonic motivation, habits, facilitating conditions, and effort expectations. The relationship between behavioral intentions, affective and cognitive needs is mediated by effort expectations. In the context of using digital banking, habits and behavioral intentions are important factors that influence behavior; in contrast, cognitive needs, affective needs, performance expectations, and social influence have no direct effect on behavioral intentions.

Published: July 2024

Breakthroughs and advances in translation technology by virtue of AI-powered MT tools and techniques contributed significantly to providing near-perfect translation. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of three translation technologies (Google Translate, Gemini, and ChatGPT) in translating multidisciplinary Arabic research titles in the Humanities and Social Sciences into English. A corpus of 163 titles of Arabic research articles from various disciplines, including media studies, literature, linguistics, education, and political science, was extracted from a Scopus-indexed journal, namely Dirasat: Human and Social Sciences Series. The research methodology in the present study lends itself largely to Koponen’s (2010) translation error strategy framework. Based on the data analysis, the findings showed that the renditions provided by these programs were categorically marked with either sense or syntax errors, which often rendered the translations inaccurate. Many polysemous terms with multiple related senses were mistranslated. The results showed that the Gemini translations contained the least errors. In contrast, the human translations contained the least mistranslation and diction errors. Google Translate and ChatGPT, on the other hand, contained the highest number of equivalence-based errors. Unexpectedly, the human translations contained the highest number of syntactic errors, reflecting a lack of target language proficiency. The study's conclusions and findings would be beneficial to translators, students, and scholars who may consider translating their Arabic study research titles and abstracts through the most commonly used AI tools.
