1 RESUMO
 
Apresenta-se, neste trabalho, um modelo de otimização para o dimensionamento de sistemas pressurizados de distribuição de água para projetos de irrigação. A metodologia empregada é fundamentada no algoritmo Otimização por Enxame de Partículas (PSO), que é inspirada na dinâmica e comportamento social observados em muitas espécies de pássaros, insetos e cardumes de peixes. O PSO proposto foi aplicado em dois benchmark problems reportados na literatura, que correspondem à Hanoi network e a um sistema de irrigação localizado na Espanha. O dimensionamento resultou, para as mesmas condições de contorno, na solução de ótimo global para a Hanoi network, enquanto a aplicação do PSO na Balerma irrigation network demonstrou que o método proposto foi capaz de encontrar soluções quase ótimas para um sistema de grande porte com um tempo computacional razoável.

LOOPED WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS DESIGN VIA PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM
 
 
2 ABSTRACT
 
This paper presents an optimization model for the design of pressurized water distribution systems for irrigation projects. The methodology is based on the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO), which is inspired by the social foraging behavior of some animals such as flocking behavior of birds and the schooling behavior of fish. The proposed PSO has been tested on two benchmark problems reported in the literature, which correspond to the Hanoi network and an irrigation system located in Spain. The design resulted in the global optimum for the Hanoi network, while the application of PSO in Balerma irrigation network demonstrated that the proposed method was able to find almost optimal solutions for a large-scale network with reasonable computational time.
 
Keywords: water, irrigation, economic analysis.
O desempenho do método foi comparado com trabalhos prévios, demonstrando convergência rápida e resultados satisfatórios na busca da solução ótima de um sistema com elevado exigência computacional.

Published: May 2019

The goal of this study is to identify the problems in the existing system of criminological prevention of extremist crimes committed using information and telecommunication networks, and to work out ideas for its improvement. The authors use general and special research methods, primarily, sociological ones. They have studied 184 criminal cases of extremist crimes committed using information and telecommunication networks tried in courts in the cities of Irkutsk, Moscow, Penza, in Kursk, Moscow, Murmansk, Samara and Chelyabinsk Regions and in the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2010–2017. The have also analyzed the published decisions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and surveyed 158 employees of the internal affairs bodies, 42 judges, 80 employees of the Investigation Committee of the Russian Federation, as well as 46 faculty members from Moscow, Moscow Region and the Republic of Bashkortostan. The authors have analyzed statistical data for 2010–2017 gathered by the Chief Information and Analytics Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the Court Department of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The article takes into account novels of criminal legislation regarding the use of information and telecommunication networks for committing extremist crimes introduced in 2013–2017, the clauses of the Federal Law «On the Basics of the System of Preventing Crimes in the Russian Federation» of 2016. The authors also pay attention to the Strategy of State National Policy of the Russian Federation until 2025, the Counter-Extremism Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2025, the Doctrine of Information Security of 2016, the Strategy of Developing Information Society in the Russian Federation in 2017–2030, and the new Clarifications of the Plenary Session of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. A complex research of the problems of counteracting extremist crimes committed with the use of information and telecommunication networks allowed the authors to formulate suggestions on improving the system of criminological prevention of these criminal acts.
Socio-Economic Determinants of Crime in Modern Russian Society
Authors: Kostina Elena , Orlova Nadezhda
Published: May 2019

The authors research the criminal situation in the conditions of globalization, reproduction of social risks, crisis and dominance of economic processes over all spheres of social and private life. The goal of the paper is to evaluate the actual degree of criminogenity of most important social institutions in modern Russia from the standpoint of the anomie theory of E. Durkheim, its interpretation by R. Merton and of the institutional anomie theory of S. Messner and R. Rosenfeld. They highlight changes in traditional non-economic social institutions and the actualization of conditions causing social stratification according to the «inclusion/exclusion» criterion, which act as a basis for the development of systemic deviantization factors. At the same time, the authors stress that the research of objective social processes should go hand-in-hand with the research of the subjective component, namely, social attitudes aimed at the assessment and the degree of interiorization, declared and often imposed and viewed as meaningful incentives for reaching objectives. This research uses the method of analyzing the secondary data of public surveys, it analyzes statistical data, including various socio-economic, demographic and other indices as well as the questionnaire method. In order to predict the situation in the sphere of studying criminal behavior, the authors suggest paying attention to the processes of de-commoditization, which act as a basis for reducing the imbalance in how a person perceives his/her position in society; they also suggest taking into consideration the negative impact of economic aspects on the cultural and moral principles of the society.
New Essence and Categorization of Criminal Offenses and Responsibility
Authors: Sopilko Irina , Lihovaya Sofia , Uvarova Nataliia
Published: May 2019

The authors analyze the positions of Ukrainian, Russian and other scholars of the post-Soviet and the EU countries regarding the essence and categorization of offenses and ensuing legal responsibility, as well as the place that criminal offenses hold among them and responsibility for these offences. They draw attention to the discrepancies in the positions of those authors who believe crimes and misdemeanors to be socially dangerous and the requirements in the Criminal Codes of many countries that state directly that due to its insignificance an action stops being socially dangerous and criminal. In this connection it is not logical that Ukraine and a number of other countries have introduced such categories as criminal offenses and criminal misdemeanors. The authors suggest solving this problem by introducing a fifth category of crimes based on the degree of gravity — the mildest crimes. Using new approaches of different researchers, the authors present their own solution of the problem: they define and categorize offenses into criminal ones (crimes – actions that have all the indicia and elements of a crime; underage acts — committed by persons who have not reached the age of criminal responsibility; insane acts — offenses committed by mentally incompetent and partially mentally incompetent persons; guiltless acts — when there is not guilty party; accidents — acts of natural forces, including acts of animals without the activity of a person) and non-criminal (constitutional, administrative, disciplinary, civil, business) offences that are further categorized in the same way into misdemeanors, underage acts, insane acts and special cases, whose essence is determined similarly to the corresponding types of criminal offenses. New approaches of different scholars allowed the authors to present their own variant of determining the essence and structure of legal responsibility and its categorization into administrative, disciplinary, civil and business responsibility with further subdivision, using the example of constitutional and criminal responsibility, of all types of legal responsibility into positive and negative (punitive-educational, restorative and concomitant).

ABSTRACT

Congenital
factor XIII deficiency is an autosomal recessive inheritance bleeding disorder.
Usually, the cause of this disease is  deficiency of factor XIII subunit A protein in
 plasma. Some symptoms of the disease support
that the clinical suspicions related to FXIII deficiency. For example; prolonged
umbilical cord bleeding which is started in the newborn period. Diagnose of Factor XIII deficiency is difficult, on
the other hand it has important therapeutic implications. When cryoprecipitate
or plasma-derived factor XIII concentrate is used prophylactically, the prognosis
of the disease will be good. We report here a case related to factor XIII
deficiency with presented a massive umbilical cord bleeding as the first
manifestation of factor XIII deficiency. The patient was managed
successfully with cryoprecipitate, fresh frozen plasma transfusion and
supportive treatments.

Published: May 2019

El objetivo fue caracterizar la intensidad de partidos oficiales de baloncesto desde la frecuencia cardíaca de los jugadores en competiciones de nivel profesional. Se analizaron 10 jugadores de baloncesto de élite masculinos, en seis partidos oficiales durante la temporada regular de la liga profesional. La cuantificación del tiempo gastado en cada zona se basó en el porcentaje de FCmax registrado para cada jugador en cada cuarto jugado. El primer cuarto presentó una respuesta de FC de 169,9 lat.min-1 durante el tiempo total, y 173,5 lat.min-1 durante el tiempo real. Los valores relativos en el primer cuarto, tanto en el tiempo total como el tiempo real, fueron 92,5% y 94,0% de FCmax, respectivamente. Las zonas de FCmax de mayor intensidad presentaron predominancia superior, en comparación con otras zonas de FCmax. La implicación práctica es prescribir ejercicios de mayor intensidad que los que se presentan durante los juegos de ligas de nivel inferior. Un programa de entrenamiento podría ser interesante si se enfoca en la aplicación de ejercicios intermitentes con intensidad individual desde zonas de FC moderadas a las más altas.

Majority of dental practitioners with different specialties in field of dentistry and dental students to some extend are acquainted with maxillofacial surgery and the related details of the field. 

Conclusions: Maxillofacial surgery scope of work in the field of aesthetics and trauma surgery still not well recognized by the responders and even some where underestimated.  In the fields of pathology, pain management and congenital anomaly is well recognized and comparable to the results of other countries.
Concept WIND in the Texts of Ukrainian Folk Orders
Authors: Shuliak S.
Published: May 2019

The essence of the concept WIND is invetigated in the article in the texts of Ukrainian folk orders. The peculiarities of expression and functioning of this concept in orders of different thematic groups are determined. The linguistic means, which form the semantic content of the concept WIND, are described. The language model of the world, reflecting the peculiarities of a certain lingoculture, retains the perceptions inherent to the society. One of the key concepts of Ukrainian ethnoculture is the wind energy, which implements universal and national specifics. Concept WIND is a fragment of the language model of the world of Ukrainians; it preserves the results of cognitive activity and reflects archetypal representations of the mental model. Emotional assessment of the wind in the texts of Ukrainian orders is ambivalent. On the one hand, the wind is conceived as an assistant, and on the other hand – as a dangerous, unmanageable power. For the most part, the concept WIND is verbalized in the texts of orders from pains, from the bite of a snake, and its metaphorical transformations are manifested by epithets that depict sad images. The lexeme wind is associated with the persistent character of the violent. Epithets strong, violent specify the semantics of the wind. Constituents of the concept WIND are tokens on the designation of motion, time and space. In the texts of Ukrainian folk orders the token is accompanied by a number of symbols. Personification of the wind is realized in the appeals, illustrating the connection with the mythical knowledge of our ancestors.Appeal to the wind is an integral part of the spell formula, which manifests itself in the acts of a request, requirement or order. The formula for the protection or prevention is order, in which there are verbs with “guarding” semantics, such as: help, save, and protect. The formulation of the submission is made using the verb in the orderly manner and the circumstances of the place, it is productive in orders, where the disease is sent by the wind and by the smoke. The verbal formulas of the texts of the Ukrainian folk orders, in which the concept WIND operates, reflects the model of the Ukrainian’s world. Orders are an exceptionally important component of the folk medicine of Ukrainians and are among the suggestive means of treating the patient’s mental and physical disorders.
System Relationships, Concealed in the Text of Explanatory Spanish Language Dictionary
Authors: Kuprianov Ye.
Published: May 2019

The article is devoted to the theoretical issues of developing methodology for studying systemic relations presented implicitly in the text of the explanatory dictionary of the Spanish language «Diccionario de la lengua española», 23ª edición. The methodology of the research and the formal representation of these relations are based on the theory of lexicographic systems and the theory of semantic states by NAS Academician Dr. Volodymyr Shyrokov. Based on the results of the study, the formal models are constructed for system relations such as hyperchains / hypercycles, quasi-semantics and synonymy. Characteristics and types of systemic relations are given. Hyperchains are the chains of words related to each other by the relationship “hyperоnym-hyponym”, “part-whole”, “process-result”, etc. Quasi-semantics is a property of a word to adopt its meaning from the other one from which it was derived. Quasisemantics combines both the meaning of the main word and its affix. There were twenty five definition patterns revealed in the dictionary for quasisemantic words. Synonymy is a language phenomenon, the essence of which is that the two or more lexical units, being in a certain semantic state, are able to replace each other in certain contexts. The synonyms registered in the dictionary represent not only semantic, but also pragmatic characteristics (style, domain, geographic area). In particular, synonymic couples are the following: special-purpose word / general-purpose word, general-purpose word / special-purpose word, special-purpose word / special-purpose word, colloquial word / literary word, ethnolect / common word. The research results are proposed to be used for creating various linguistic software: text processing systems, semantic analyzers, virtual lexicographic laboratories, etc.
Somatic Phraseological Units with the Component“Heart” in Ancient Greek Tragedies of the Classical Age
Authors: Tyrnova Oleksandra
Published: May 2019

The article explores phraseological units with the somatic component “heart”, which serve to denote emotions, psychological states and feelings in the Ancient Greek language of the classical age. The authors analyze the meaning of the verbs, used in the structure of the somatic phraseological units and compound metaphors with the somatic word “heart”. It is determined that more than hundred somatic phraseological units with the component καρδία / κραδίη / κῆρ “heart” are used in Greek tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides and 62 units of them serve to denote emotions, psychological states and feelings. It is revealed that somatic phraseological units with the component “heart”, which denote negative emotions and feelings, are predominant in the language of Greek tragedies. In particular, these emotions and feelings are sadness, sorrow, fear, anger, annoyance, irritation, malice, mental pain, despair and depression. The sphere of positive emotions, such as joy, exaltation, satisfaction, calmness and pacification, represented by the language material show the correlation of 15 % to 85 % with the phraseological units of negative meaning. It is found out that the meaning of verbs, used as a part of the phraseological unit, refer to physical action, which is committed over the heart, particularly harm, violence and abuse, physical pain, fast or slow heart rate, cold or hot feelings. In the phraseological units, which denote depression and despair, verbs indicate causing physical injuries of heart, for example, θλίβω “squeeze”,“compress”, δάκνω “bite”, μαστιγόω “slash”, ἐκτήκω “melt”. The verbs, used in the phraseological units with the meaning of fear, indicate changes of heart’s temperature and its pace, for instance ζωπυρέω “flare up”, ὀρχέομαι “dance”. Mental anxiety is verbalized via the cognitive metaphor “heart – water”, therefore waves arise in an alarmed heart or heart rages from an inevitable cycle. The results of the research confirm the thesis that the ancient Greek culture is a “culture of the heart”.

Authors: Mudrinich S.
Published: May 2019

The article studies the point of the levels of valency of the words of semantics of state with further comparative analysis of their valency in Ukrainian and English languages. The meaning of categorical valency and lexical compatibility of the words of semantics of state in both languages are being analyzed. The notion of lexical and syntactic valency of the words of semantics of state in Ukrainian and English languages is being determined. Defining the lecxical valency of the word aware, we used data about its syntactic valency and investigated its lexical compatibility. When we considering lexical valency, the lexical filling of syntactic valency models and the lexical filling of the Sub – St Prdv і Sub – StAttr syntactic constructions were traced. The lexical valency of the word булострашно (was scary) and its synonyms is being defined. The word of semantics of state було страшно (was scary) and its synonyms have the following types of syntactic valence: predicative valency (V ↔ StPrd), subjective valency (Obj′→ StPrd), object valency (St Prd/Attr/Com → Obj). The method of determing the lexical, syntactic, categorical valency of the words of semantics of state in Ukrainian language is the same as in the English language. To establish the categorial valency of the words of semantics of state, the words that belong to the main part-language digits of the words of semantics of state were analized, on the basis of which the words of semantics of state in the English language were formed: it is dangerous, it is comfortable, asleeр, afraid. The syntactic valency of the word of semantics of state aware and the units with which it is connected were considered from the point of view of connectivity of the word awarein the language, and the syntactic valency of the word of semantics of stateбуло страшно (was scary) and its synonyms and words with which it comes into contact was also figured out.
Social and Cultural Context of the Dramatic Text: Problems of Reproduction (based on the Ukrainian and Russian translations of Williams Tennesse’s play «The Glass Menagerie»)
Authors: Pasenchuk N.
Published: May 2019

The article is devoted to the problem of translation of the drama. The article focuses on revealing peculiar linguistic and stylistic features of the drama. The research has been done on the case study of Russian and Ukrainian translation variants of the drama text by T.Williams «The Glass Menagerie». Basic methods of translation are investigated in the article. On the basis of comparative analysis the author investigates the problem of lexico-semantic transformations in translation of the drama. There has been proved that lexico-semantic transformations play an important role in the process of translation, providing the text with dynamics, enhancing expressivity, serving to enhance the image-expressive functions of a language. The units of different language levels, which help to verbalize cultural information of the source text, words with national and cultural semantic component have been considered. It was outlined that structural and functional peculiarities of each target language in regard to source English language and personality of translator have an impact on the reflection of the national and cultural colour of the source text. The task of the translator is to provide the reader with necessary explanations, since the transfer of the cultural and social specifics of the dramatic text requires a special approach from the translator in achieving the pragmatic adequacy of the translation. It is determined that the literal translation does not correspond to the adequacy of reproduction of the source text. The nationally marked means contribute to the emotional and expressive colour of the source text and emphasize the national colour. The adequate reproduction of stylistic means leads to the preservation of the original intention of the author. The dramatic text is a peculiar model of the socio-historical context of society. The main task of the translator is the reproduction of the national components of the model of another culture and preservation of national-historical context of the source text.

Background: Color code was described for the first time in 2003 was described for the first time in 2003 by since and al. The objective of this study was to accomplish urgent caesarian sections according to color code over delays indications-births (DIN) in Motherhood Befelatanana, Antananarivo, Madagascar.Methods: It was about a longitudinal prospective, analytical study of caesarian sections performed in emergency in CHUGOB going from June 1st till December 31st, 2017.Results: Authors took a census 193 caesarian sections of emergency. Among these patients 28 (14.50%) had a caesarian section encode red, 42 (21.76%) an orange code and 123 (63.73%) a green code. The medium age of the patients was of 26.4 years and that of the gestation was of 37SA and 6 days. The delay indication-birth (DIN) medium was of 102.9 minutes for red code, 99.7 minutes for orange code and 75 minutes for green code.Conclusions: Authors could not attain DIN of 30 minutes shape in international recommendations. Authors must improve the delay indication entered in the surgical unit by reinforcing knowledge of the agents of support on the management of emergency obstetrical. The possibility of leading to a very quick birth is an indisputable progress in obstetrics but she should not make forget risks inherent in such procedure.

Published: May 2019

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathy among women of reproductive age. Physical symptoms in PCOS cause depression and decrease the Quality of Life (QoL). The objective was to study the prevalence of depression in women suffering from PCOS and to assess its correlation with QoL.Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted among one hundred patients diagnosed with PCOS. Women 18-40 years of age diagnosed with PCOS were included in the study. Patients with known psychiatric illness were excluded. Depression severity was assessed with Hamilton depression (HAM-D) scale. The quality of life (QoL) was assessed with Polycystic ovary syndrome questionnaire (PCOSQ). The data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 for Windows.Results: The mean age and BMI was 25.64±3.25 years and 26.78±2.72 kg/m2 respectively. The mean depression score was 12.46±6.18. QoL domains showed that the lowest score was in the menstrual problem with a mean of 12.48±4.44 and the highest was in the emotional domain with a mean of 28.07±11.17. The negative correlations were between age and Hamilton score (p < 0.05). The Hamilton score was negatively correlated with the emotional score (p <0.01) and weight score was positively correlated with infertility score (p <0.01).Conclusions: PCOS was clearly associated with depression and reduced QoL. This should warrant health professionals to consider routine screening for depression and assess the impact of symptoms on their QoL to improve patient outcomes.

Published: May 2019

Background: Menorrhagia is one of the most common gynecologic complaints in contemporary gynecology. It is defined as total blood loss exceeding 80 ml per cycle or menses lasting longer than 7 days. Current gynecological survey reports that 30% of all pre-menopausal women perceive their menses to be excessive. So, the main aim of this study was to correlate clinical profile of patients with menorrhagia, etiological factors of menorrhagia, endometrial patterns in cases of menorrhagia, sonography findings in these patients.Methods: This is a prospective study of 100 patients with complaints of menorrhagia that were randomly selected from out-patient department of a tertiary care hospital. In all cases of menorrhagia, detailed history followed by examination and a particular set of investigations including USG was done. All women were subjected to D and C and histo-pathological report taken into account. However all cases of Puberty menorrhagia were excluded from this study as D and C could not be done in them. Treatment was given depending upon cause/age/parity/ family/completion/patient’s desire.Results: AUB is the most common cause of menorrhagia in this study group (60%) with leiomyomas as the second commonest cause (24%). Other causes found were adenomyosis (8%), polyp (4%), IUCD (4%). Maximum cases of menorrhagia are in 40-50 years age group.Conclusions: To conclude AUB (60%) was the commonest cause of menorrhagia followed by leiomyomas (24%), adenomyosis (8%), IUCD (4%) and polyps (4%). Menorrhagia was most common in multiparous (78%) and peri-menopausal age group (40-49 years). Proliferative endometrium was most commonly observed histo-pathological pattern in 58% cases. Leiomyoma was the commonest sonological finding seen in 24% cases followed by adenomyosis in 8% cases.

Published: May 2019

Background: Vitamin  D  deficiency  is  thought  to  be   common among  pregnant  women  and  is  associated  with  adverse  maternal  and  perinatal  outcome. Maternal  and foetal  outcome  in  pregnant  women  with  standard  obstetric  care  was compared with   women with  additional  vitamin D  supplementation.Methods: A randomized comparative  study  was  conducted  on  100  patients attending  the  antenatal  clinic at JSS Medical College and Hospital, Mysuru, Karnataka, India   who were randomly  grouped   into  group A (50 patients) who  received  standard  obstetric care  (500 mg calcium+200 IU vitamin D)  and  group  B (50 patients)  who  received  in  addition  to  standard  obstetric  care   supplementation  of   Vitamin  D  1000 IU/day starting  from  14  weeks  of  gestation  till  delivery.  Vitamin  D  levels  were assessed  in  both  the  groups  with  onset  of  labour  by  chemiluminescence immunoassay  and  obstetric  and  neonatal  outcomes  in  both  groups  were compared.Results: High  incidence  of vitamin  D  deficiency  (96%)  in  standard  care  group  compared  to  vitamin  D supplemented  group  ( p= <0.0001)  was  noted. The  study  showed  significant  reduction  in  risk  of  Preeclampsia (P=0.004),  GDM  (P= 0.02)  and  primary  caesarean  delivery  (0.008)  in  Vitamin  D  supplemented  group. Significantly  high  birth  weight  in  vitamin  D supplemented   group,  an  increase  in  320 grams  in  birth  weight  was  noted  (P <0.0001).Conclusions: There is a high incidence of subnormal vitamin D levels in antenatal women and is associated with maternal and neonatal adverse effects. Measuring Vitamin D levels and appropriate supplementation of higher dose of vitamin D is an effective strategy in prevention of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Published: May 2019

Background: To study the knowledge, current practices of family planning methods and acceptance post motivation.Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted at family planning OPD of AIIMS, New Delhi, India. A total of 1516 couples who came for MTP at any gestation couple were enquired about knowledge, currently used contraceptive method and reason for abortion. Couple was counseled and allowed to choose contraceptive method using cafeteria approach. Mean values of continuous data were tested using t-test/ANOVA. Categorial data were compared using chi-square/ Fischers exact test.Results: Mean±SD age of the women was 28.89±5.21 years with 9.98±4.56 weeks POG. Around 81% of women had one or more living children with 62.67% women with at least one abortion previously. Majority used male condoms (42.10%) followed by natural method (21.01%), Cu-T (3.80%), OCPs (1.65%), injectable (0.30%), I-pill (0.24%). Awareness was maximum for male condoms, Cu-T, OCPs, female sterilization (100%) and least for female condoms (20%) and LNG-IUS (8.46%). Contraceptive failure (68.90%), congenital abnormality in the fetus (22.40%), maternal disease (5.90%), rape (1.60%), completed family (0.80%) and not using any method (0.30%) were the reasons of abortion. Majority of abortions were in first trimester (70%). Post-motivation around 69.30% of the couples accepted some form of contraception. Female sterilization (32.50%) method accepted by the couples as compares to temporary methods (36.70%) such as Cu-T, OCPs, Injectables etc.Conclusions: Despite of awareness the family planning programme is unsuccessful largely due to inappropriate attitude. Behavioral modification and communication goes a long way to slove the problem.
