Background and Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has threatened global health and increased the possibility of anxiety symptoms. The present study aims to investigate the frequency of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms after the outbreak of COVID-19 in patients referred to the Mazandaran Welfare Organization in Mazandaran Province, Iran, in 2020. Materials & Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 255 people enrolled. All participants were evaluated based on calls or in-person visits to the Mazandaran Welfare Counseling Center in Mazandaran Province, Iran, using the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist (PCL-5) with a cut-off point of 33 to diagnose PTSD. Also, the quality of sleep was measured based on the Pittsburg questionnaire. The P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence of PTSD in the high-risk population of welfare referees was 40.4% (CI 95%: 34.4 -46.4). The prevalence of PTSD had a significant relationship with the level of education (P=0.03). There was a positive and significant correlation of 30.2% between sleep quality scores and PCL-5 scores (P< 0.001). Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of PTSD in people who are referred to welfare centers, as well as the availability of most of these individuals, it is possible to reduce the damage to this group by identifying factors related to PTSD and health planning.
FEATURES OF CONSERVATION OF ABANDONED BUILDINGS AMONG THE TRIBES OF THE MAYKOP-NOVOSVOBODNENSKAYA COMMUNITY (ON THE MATERIALS OF NOVOTITAROVSKOYE-14 AND TUZLA-15 SETTLEMENTS)
Authors: Korenevskiy Sergey N.
Published: April 2023

The article aims to introduce the material on the new Maykop settlement Novotitarovskoye-14 and, to provide the description according to archaeological data of the conservation of the Maykop semi-dugout pits, as well as to discuss the construction of a portable hearth at the settlement Novotitarovskoye-14. The materials are compared with the finds at the Maykop settlement Tuzla-15. The methodology involves the description of the source, the analysis of finds and analogies, the definition of cultural affiliation and chronology. The article also provides the results of radiocarbon dating of materials from the Tuzla-15 settlement and osteological analysis of materials from Kurgan 12 of the Novotitarovskoye-14 group and the Tuzla-15 settlement. The Novotitarovskoye-14 settlement was discovered in 2014 by N.F. Shevchenko, the Tuzla-15 settlement was excavated by S.N. Korenevsky in 2012-2015 and described in a monograph. On both settlements, semi-dugout pits filled with pottery shards, animal bones and small tools in the form of pebbles, fragments of grain grinders were uncovered. At the settlement of Novotitarovskoye-14, the adobe furnace hearth, as well as a large fragment of the brazier were recorded. These findings prove that the Maykop population might have used portable hearths, which were lit outside their buildings. In both settlements, in the filling of abandoned buildings, a layer of ash from a fire that burned outside was recorded. The analysis of osteological findings clearly reflects that the majority of bones belong to large and small cattle. Single horse bones were found at Novotitarovskoye-14 settlement. The settlement of Novotitaroovskoye-14 belongs to the Maykop variant of the Maykop-Novosvobodnenskaya community, and the settlement of Tuzla-15 belongs to the similar Psekup variant of the Maykop-Novosvobodnenskaya community. The date of the first settlement cannot be determined precisely within the framework of the existence of the Maykop sites. The date of settlement of Tuzla-15 belongs to the final stage of the Maykop-Novosvobodnenskaya community.
GENEALOGY OF THE AKUSHIN QADIS IN THE LIGHT OF NEWLY SOURCES
Authors: Aitberov Timirlan M. , Aliev Bagomed G.
Published: April 2023

The article introduces new epigraphic Arabic-language sources on the history of Akusha, revealed among the genealogical records and colophons of manuscripts. The new sources substantially supplement the information about the qadis of Akusha, and in some cases make it possible to radically revise the existing scientific ideas about the genealogical ties of the qadis of Akusha-Dargo. In the second half of the 19th century, an officer of the tsarist army A.V. Komarov was the first to suggest the existence in certain territories of Dagestan of the institution of hereditary qadis, who either had already became qadi-emirs, “spiritual princes”, or had a tendency to turn into such. He localized the presence of such an institution in the northern part of Tabasaran, which adjoined Derbent from the west, and in the Akusha union of communities. In 1986, one of the authors of this article, B.G. Aliev, compiled a list of Akushin qadis on the basis of Russian sources, A.R. Shikhsaidov’s works and field material. For several decades, this list has been of great help in the study of the political history of the region. In the light of new data, the authors raise questions regarding the chronology of the Akushin qadis in power and question the information of A.V. Komarov. The authors introduce new data on the chronology of Akushin qadis’ stay in power, on the existence of the institution of hereditary of Akushin qadis in the 17th – early 19th centuries, in the inheritance of the mentioned title within one Akushin clan, and even more so, within one family. The authors admit that by the middle of the 18th century there was a tendency among the qadis of Akusha to turn into the likeness of the qadis-princes of Northern Tabasaran, but the “Dargin” elite of the late 18th century did not approve it. The article provides general information about Akusha, a detailed historiography of the issue of Akushin qadis, a review of new sources and the conclusions of the authors. When writing this article, a comparative method was applied.

Published: April 2023

The article discusses the results of the study of craniological materials from the Nuzalsky medieval soil burial ground located in the Alagir Gorge of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and fully excavated in 2020. 213 individuals were studied, the craniological series included 18 male and 9 female skulls, the individual data of which are given in the tables. The series cannot be called homogeneous, but it is not possible to single out any definite morphological variants in it. For intergroup comparison, the following were used: series from the burial grounds of the early and medieval Alanian culture, the medieval population from the crypts of the mountainous Ingushetia and the crypts of Tsoi-Pede, and the combined series of Irons, Digors and Tuals. Based on the results of the intergroup comparison, a conclusion is made about the formation of the studied population on the basis of the Alanian and mountainous components. We also collected materials for the study of paleoDNA. In the future, the results of the study are expected to be compared with the results of whole genome sequencing of samples from a number of sites, which will allow DNA methods to assess the ratio of the contribution of the mountain and Alan populations to the gene pool of the Nuzala population.
ON THE PROBLEM OF CLASSIFICATION OF BATTLE TOWERS
OF INGUSHETIA
Authors: Sampiev Israpil M.
Published: April 2023

The relevance of the problem under consideration, in addition to its epistemological interest, is also due to its practical significance. A large number of medieval archaeological and historical monuments of mountainous Ingushetia are disappearing, being destroyed before our eyes, and are in a dilapidated state. The state, having declared these objects of cultural heritage of the Ingush as its property, cares little about their preservation, practically does not allocate funds for their conservation and, moreover, restoration. Local teip communities are invited to finance these works themselves. However, even isolated cases of restoration work at the expense of sponsors cause a lot of disputes and questions. In particular, one of such pressing issues is the question of the restoration of combat towers according to one or another of their type, since they differ in their structural details, especially in their roofing part, which is most susceptible to destruction. Such controversial situations arose, for example, during the recent restoration of combat towers in the villages of Harp and Bisht of the Jeyrakh district of the Republic of Ingushetia. This problematic situation seems to be based on the imperfection of the existing classifications of Ingush combat towers.The purpose of the article is a critical analysis of the basic principles (bases) of the classification of combat towers and an assessment of their suitability for the reconstruction of the appearance of the latter. To achieve this goal, it is supposed to analyze and compare the classifications available in the literature (including types and types of combat towers and their distinctive features), identify their weaknesses and strengths, as well as assess the suitability of existing classifications as a possible scientific and theoretical basis for the restoration of Ingush combat towers.As a methodological basis for the research, this article uses a comparative analysis of the main classifications of Ingush combat towers, identification of possible classification principles and their assessment with the so-called suitability for the purposes of reconstruction of the appearance of the roofs of combat towers, as well as content analysis of the literary register of medieval tower structures of Ingushetia.
THE CAUCASUS AND ADJACENT REGIONS IN THE COSMOGRAPHY OF FAKHR-I MODABBIR
Authors: Timokhin Dmitry
Published: April 2023

Among the Muslim texts of the first half of the XIII century, one should highlight the narrative known to researchers as «Shajarai-e ansab-e Mobarakshah-i» («The Tree of the genealogies of Mubarak Shah») or «Bahr al-ansab» («The Sea of genealogies»). This work belongs to the pen of a Persian historian of the late XII - first half of the XIII century. Muhammad ibn Mansur ibn Sa'id or Fakhr-i Moddabir (Mubarak Shah). After the publication of the Persian text of this source, carried out in the first half of the XX century. By Edward Denison Ross, scientists have paid close attention to this work itself, as well as to the biography of its author. However, the most significant attention was focused on those sections of «Bahr al-ansab», where the author described the nomadic Turkic tribes of Desht-i Qipchak, as well as those where Fakhr-i Moddabir outlined the history of the Muslim dynasties that ruled in northern India. Much less attention was paid by specialists to the initial section of the introduction to "Bahr al-Ansab", in which the author proposed cosmography or a description of the world known to people at that time around them. For our part, I would like to understand first of all how, in the author's opinion, this world was arranged, into which regions it was divided, and what place the Caucasus and adjacent lands occupied in it. Here I would like to draw attention to what toponyms associated with the Caucasus Fakhr-i Moddabir mentions and what he reports about them. An equally important task of this study will be to identify the connections of this part of the text «Bahr al-Ansab» with earlier monuments of Muslim geographical and historical literature, which will make it possible to identify borrowings, but also independent reports of Fakhr-i Moddabir regarding the structure of the world known to mankind at that time. We hope that this work will be of interest to specialists in the history of Muslim geographical literature, as well as to researchers of the history of the Caucasus and adjacent regions in the pre-Mongol period.
ON THE ISSUE OF DEPORTATION OF THE PEOPLES OF THE NORTH CAUCASUS TO KAZAKH SSR IN THE YEARS OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR (ACCORDING TO KAZAKH ARCHIVES)
Authors: Ayagan Burkitbai Gelmanuly
Published: April 2023

The paper aims to collect and systemize the data of the Kazakh archives on placement, keeping and features of the stay of the deported peoples of the North Caucasus on the territory of Kazakhstan. The author limited the scope of research to residents of the republics of the North Caucasus, since the largest number of deportations were from Karachay-Cherkessia and Chechen-Ingushetia republics. Consideration of all aspects of the deportation of Crimean Tatars, Greeks from the Crimean Autonomous Republic, Meskhetian Turks, Khemshins from Georgia requires separate research. The object of the author’s research was the issues of deportation, accommodation and keep of the peoples of the North Caucasus in 1944 to Kazakhstan. On the basis of a scientific analysis of the materials of a number of archival documents – various resolutions, directives, certificates, reports, the author traces the processes of resettlement and control over the arriving representatives of the deported peoples. The resettled families were specially distributed by the authorities to various regions of the vast territory of the republic. A considerable number of deportees ended up in political camps set up at factories, or were sent to build complex engineering structures. When conducting a scientific analysis, the author of the article used data from documents from Kazakhstani archives and collections of documents on the subject. As the main materials of the study, party documents, directives of the NKVD bodies, materials from the archives of the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KNB of the Republic of Kazakhstan were involved. The author reveals that the very Stalinist policy of deportation of peoples was carried out on the basis of the narrow framework of party instructions of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks. All these resolutions and instructions are found everywhere in investigation cases or indictments found by the author in archival funds. The main results of the study are the identification of valuable documentary information on such issues as the definition of the regions of Kazakhstan involved in the resettlement process, indicating the number of resettled, the conditions of detention and adaptation of the deported.

Effective cost management is crucial to an enterprise's development. Involving adaptive management principles allows for quick response to changing market conditions and rational allocation of expenses across projects and departments. Enterprise involvement in cooperation processes is a separate direction of adaptive potential accumulation that simultaneously expands the strategic controlling area. The aim of the article is to develop theoretical positions, methods, and practical recommendations for forming a cost management system based on the principles, procedures, and tools of strategic controlling. The research hypothesis is based on the necessity to update the cost management system of the enterprise by expanding cost management methods with strategic control tools and implementing cost-level adjustment adapters aligned with the business capabilities and results of strategic enterprise choice. The proposed adaptation mechanism fully complies with the functions and tasks of strategic and operational controlling. The article suggests that the classic approach to cost control can be enhanced by incorporating adaptation and mutual learning loops into the cost management system. It have been proved that strategic controlling should focus on anticipatory adaptation and formulating reference models for consolidated business capabilities within the integrated corporate entity, while operational controlling should regulate the level of costs using budgeting and plan-fact methods based on the capability map. It has been noted that a cost management system based on the principles of strategic control cannot be created independently of the general system of corporate governance, and the organization of strategic control involves coordinating the parameters of strategic choice of a corporate group with the processes of consolidating business capabilities and defining cost adjustment benchmarks. This approach ensures that the parameters of strategic choice will coincide with the parameters of corporate governance of the integrated group, with the main object of management being the value and needs of consumers in the output of the integrated value chain formation. The structure of enterprises integrated corporate association strategic choice about cost formation chains consolidation has been carried out. The logic of using the classifier of deviations causes in the costs level within the strategic controlling system has been determined. This logic have been mapped on the cost management system adapters work. Keywords: cost management, strategic controlling, adaptive management, corporate integration, business combinations, adaptation scenarios, cost level.

Published: April 2023

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a term used to describe a heart attack that occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle reduced, and plaque builds up in the lining of the coronary arteries, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply. The study was conducted on a number of participants, including 100 cases and 70 controls, who were matched for gender and age. The blood indicators in question were examined using standard laboratory techniques and equipment. The study aimed to study the relationship between inflammatory cytokines, lipid profiles, and transaminase enzyme in patients 48 hours after myocardial infarction. The results indicated that there are differences between cases and controls for inflammatory cytokines (IL-8, IL-12, and IFN-Αα). Moreover, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were decreased in cases in comparison with controls, while triglyceride (TG) was high in patients after MI. However, patients' aspartate transaminase (AST) levels were meaningfully higher than in controls.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is not itself a disease, but a condition that develops rapidly in response to some forms of liver injury. There is no evidence to prove an association between serum IL-33 with oxidant- antioxidant status in patients of liver failure. The present study aimed to evaluate the possible association between these parameters and to investigation the prognostic role of interleukin-33 in liver failure disease by using the ROC curve. This study includes (30 patients and 30 controls ((were 17 men and 13 female)). During the period of 2021- 2022, patients and controls aged 30- 55 years. The results showed that there is a significant increase in the serum levels of ( MDA, NO, CP , IL-33 and IL-23) in patients group in comparison with controls group Furthermore, it was found that there is a positive correlation between IL-33 and ( IL-23, MDA, NO and Cp ).The ROC curve demonstrated that the levels of (IL-33, IL-23, MDA, NO and CP) have exhibited an good method for discriminating’ between healthy individuals and patients with acute liver failure .In Conclusion, our findings indicated that there is an association between abnormal serum IL-33 levels and Oxidant-Antioxidants Status. Moreover, the level of IL-33 can consider an early prediction biomarker for gestational diabetes. The use of ROC curve analysis confirmed thatIL-33 is effective for the diagnosis of liver failure.
Diabetic Neuropathy Patients with Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Many human deficiencies may be traced back to insufficient levels of vitamin B12, which is soluble in water. Levels of B12 in the blood and a revised demographic study disprove the former hypothesis. Weight, blood levels, and dietary consumption of vitamin B12 were all studied in connection to one another in persons with Type 2 diabetes and diabetic neuropathy. Thirty volunteers were selected from the medical student bodies at the Universities of Kansas and Utah. Initial measurements of height, weight, body mass index, medicines, supplements, age, blood levels of vitamin B12, and dietary intake were collected for a randomised exercise intervention study (Activity for Diabetic Polyneuropathy: ADAPT Study). Nutrition data was entered into a software programme to identify the types and quantities of vitamin B12 ingested during a 3-day period (NDSR), and descriptive statistics were used to profile the individuals. The effects of metformin on patients were compared to those of non-metformin patients using analysis of variance. Blood B12 levels were correlated with demographic variables including age, body mass index, supplement use, and diet by regression analysis. For each set of independent variables at any given moment, a pairwise correlation matrix was compiled. Humans used up an average of 4.3 g of vitamin B12 daily. Taking metformin was not significantly linked to lower blood B12 levels. There was no correlation between age, body mass index, or obesity and vitamin B12 levels in the blood. Vitamin B12 supplementation was linked to increased vitamin B12 levels in the blood regardless of dosage (p =.031). Individuals concerned they may be vitamin B12 deficient can take heart from these findings. Similar to how there was no drop in blood B12 levels associated with ageing, this phenomenon was not observed in the investigations. age and blood B12 levels are related; so, screening for deficiencies should begin earlier in life

Geometry optimization for pure transition metals structures Ni6 , Co5 , Au12 , Y5 and alkali-transition metals structures Ni6Li , Co5Li , Au12Li , Y5Na at B3LYP level, 3-21G and LaNL2DZ basis sets has been investigated by using Density Functional Theory (DFT) throughout Gaussian09 package. Electrostatic potential,contours, infrared spectra, symmetry, energy gap has been studied for all structures. Total energy for pure transition metals structures is greater than the total energy for alkali-transition metals structures, One can say that the orbitals that generate between Lithium and atoms of pure Nickel structure will be from anti-bonding type. Dipole moment for some pure Nickel structure has zero value because it is homostructure, the other pure transition structures has nonzero values although they are homostructures this is result because of the geometry structures, but the dipole moment for all alkali-transition structures has nonzero numerical values because it is hetrostructures. Energy gap for Y5Na is the smallest value of energy gaps of the structures under study, it approaches to the energy gap of GaAs, this property is very useful in electronic applications such as manufacturing of processors of laptops, Eg of Y5Na = 0.95 eV, Eg of GaAs = 0.8 eV.

The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the main physicochemical and microbiological parameters of drinking water in the city of Caraz, located in the province of Huaylas, department of Ancash, during the period between August 2017 and January 2018. For this purpose, samples were taken at four points in the city, from the supply reservoir to the home distribution network. Twenty-three physical, chemical and microbiological parameters were analyzed: color, conductivity, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, temperature, turbidity, residual chlorine, chlorides, total hardness, fluorides, nitrates, dissolved oxygen, pH, sulfates, arsenic, cadmium, copper, iron, manganese, mercury, lead, total coliforms and fecal coliforms. In determining the indicated parameters, standardized chemical analysis methods were used for each of them. Some analyzes were carried out in the same place (in situ) and others in the chemistry laboratory as well as in the environmental quality laboratory of UNASAM. The results obtained were contrasted with the maximum permissible limits (MPL) of the Regulation of Water Quality for Human Consumption (MINSA, 2010). Of the 23 parameters evaluated, 20 were below the MPL (maximum permissible limit), with the exception of mercury and total and fecal coliforms, whose certainty given by the method used did not allow us to affirm that the values ​​obtained are within the MPL.

The article provides research on the latest world events' impact on the state of tourism in the country, and modern innovative approaches for business efficient development are substantiated. At the current stage of development of the world economy, tourism stays one of the promising and profitable branches of the economy. The success of tourism lies in the fact that it is based on the satisfaction of people's constant desire to learn about the world surrounding them. The main trends over the past decade are characterized by a significant reduction in the involvement of Ukrainians in domestic tourism and an excess of the number of outbound tourists over foreign ones. The COVID-19 pandemic has played a crucial role in reducing the number of trips abroad for people around the world, and in particular in Ukraine. However, this situation was the impetus for the opening of new tourist markets, the rethinking of tourist routes and the rapid development of domestic tourism. According to the research, it was revealed that 38% of Ukrainians aged 15-70 travel around Ukraine, most often such trips for tourist purposes occur once a year. Residents of Ukraine aged 15 to 44 travel most actively, then with age tourist activity decreases. The largest percentage of travelers in Ukraine is accounted for by the population of Kyiv (63%), Chernivtsi (60%) and Lviv (54%) regions. According to the results of the survey, residents of Sumy and Zhytomyr regions travel the least, 19 and 17%, respectively. Of great importance in a crisis is the issue of innovation of enterprises. Innovations in the field of tourism are based on the implementation of modern achievements of scientific and technological progress. Social media and digital marketing are becoming a tool for modern advertising. Travel companies with minimal costs using various social networks provide information about their services to a multimillion-dollar audience. Innovative activity in the tourism business should be focused on creating a new or qualitative change in an existing product, improving transport, hotel and other services, developing new markets, introducing modern information and telecommunication technologies and advanced forms of organizational and management activities.
