Published: July 2024

In the continuum of time and technological advancement, the use of metals, specifically carbon steel, has significantly increased as primary materials in various operational and industrial domains, including tool fabrication and automotive components. To meet the evolving demands of industries, precise heat treatment processes have been developed to enhance the metallic properties. This study specifically focused on the application of the Quenching-Partitioning-Tempering (Q-P-T) method to ASTM A36 steel. The study investigated different partitioning temperatures, namely 300℃, 350℃, and 400℃, with 15-minute intervals. A comprehensive set of mechanical tests, including hardness, tensile, and microstructural analyses, were conducted to assess the response of the material to the treatment. The results reveal significant findings: a partitioning temperature of 300℃ yields the highest hardness value of 164 Vickers Hardness Number (VHN). Furthermore, the tensile tests demonstrate that a partitioning temperature of 300℃ is optimal, achieving a maximum stress value of 515.73 MPa. Conversely, a partitioning temperature of 400℃ exhibits the highest strain value at 21.08% and the highest elastic modulus value at 11.47 GPa. Microstructural evaluations highlighted the presence of pearlite and ferrite phases, with the partitioning temperature of 300°C displaying the highest proportion of pearlite phase at 38.5%. This meticulous investigation expands our understanding of metallurgy and underscores the intricate relationship between partitioning temperatures and the mechanical properties of ASTM A36 steel. It provides valuable insights for material design and application methodologies and facilitates advancements in industrial practices
DETERMINATION OF PARAMETERS OF WATER EXCHANGE AND MODELLING OF GROUNDWATER FLOW PROCESS FOR URANIUM MILL TAILINGS “ZAHIDNE” OF THE PRYDNIPROVSKY CHEMICAL PLANT
Authors: Zanoz Bogdan , Bugai Dmytro
Published: July 2024

Results are presented of field hydrogeological studies aimed at determining the parameters of water exchange and modelling predictions of groundwater flow processes in the zone of influence of the “Zahidne” uranium mill tailing situated at the Prydniprovsky Chemical Plant, Kamianske. Hydrogeological observations allowed to estimate the infiltration recharge rate to groundwater at the study site within the first terrace (200 mm/year) and within the second terrace (150 mm/year) of the Dnipro River. According to tracer test the real groundwater flow velocity in the unconfined aquifer in sandy alluvial deposits in the zone of influence of the tailing is estimated at 0.26–0.52 m/day. Determined water exchange parameters and groundwater level monitoring data were used to develop using Visual Modflow software and calibrate the groundwater flow model for the area between the “Zahidne” uranium mill tailing and Konoplyanka River. Groundwater travel time in the unconfined aquifer from uranium mill tailing to Konoplyanka River estimated using calibrated model is 13 years, which is significantly less than the previous estimates on regional groundwater flow model (20 years). Several remediation scenarios were modelled, which allowed to develop recommendations on improving the protection of groundwater and surface water from radioactive contamination

Published: July 2024

Beyond the enormous losses of priceless human lives, extreme economic losses, tremendous impacts on our country’s geological environment have been caused by russia’s military aggression since 2014. In particular, as a result of hostilities and missile attacks, the entire network of large metallurgical and chemical facilities have been completely destroyed, nearly a hundred of oil depots and other fuel storage facilities throughout the country have been damaged, resulting in the contamination of soil, surface and groundwater, vegetation, etc. A number of hydrotechnical facilities were damaged, leading to large-scale flooding, etc. Shelling damaged a number of mining facilities, mineral deposits and other geological sites, such as unique stratotypic cross-sections, geological landmarks, and landscape parks. The objective of this paper is to provide an assessment of environmental damage and economic losses to the geological environment and mineral resource base of the country based on updated satellite monitoring data using remote sensing. Based on the analysis of the map of operating deposits and the updated map of hostilities (impact of shells, missiles, etc.), it was found that as of 13.04.2023, out of 2,164 total mineral deposits in Ukraine (excluding water resources), only 490 deposits (22.6%) are located in the temporarily occupied territories or within 25 km of  the frontline. According to the results of the assessments, the following deposits are located in the territories not controlled by Ukraine: 139 hydrocarbon deposits (24%); 175 coal deposits (81%); 67 non-metallic mineral deposits (5.3%); 5 metallic mineral deposits (7%). Thus, the use of geological environment monitoring and remote sensing using GIS tools (in the conditions of lack of access to such objects) plays a key role in obtaining reliable and internationally acceptable data as proof for financial compensation. In this regard, there is a critical need for immediate actions in order to revitalise and reform the geological monitoring system in Ukraine.
GEOBOTANICAL ANALYSIS OF PLANT FOSSIL ASSEMBLAGES FROM THE UPPER PENNSYLVANIAN LIMNIC DEPOSITS OF THE NORTHERN CAUCASUS
Authors: Boyarina Nataliya , Kovalenko Ganna
Published: July 2024

Analysis of plant fossil assemblages from the Upper Pennsylvanian deposits of the Northern Caucasus was carried out within the intervals, which are compared with the megafloral zones of the Stephanian of the Western European scale. The identification of the taxonomic composition and the interpretation of environments of the Late Pennsylvanian plant communities showed that the Northern Caucasus vegetation was represented by wetland and seasonally dry forests of river valleys. The wetland forests were composed of the calamitalean-fern and calamitalean-fern-pteridosperm communities of the shores of floodplain lakes and the lycopsid-calamitalean-fern-pteridosperm communities of floodplains. Throughout the Late Pennsylvanian (Stephanian and early Autunian), the most widespread taxa of wetland forests were lycophytes Subsigillaria brardii, calamitaleans with the stems of Calamites suckowii and the foliage of Annularia sphenophylloides, A. spinulosa, ferns Acitheca polymorpha, Cyathocarpus arboreus, C. cyatheus, ‘Pecopteris’ bredovii, Nemejcopteris feminaeformis, Diplazites unitus and pteridosperms Odontopteris brardii, Callipteridium gigas, C. pteridium, Pseudomariopteris cordato-ovata, Dicksonites sterzelii. The seasonally dry vegetation was widespread in the middle Stephanian (Stephanian B) and the late Stephanian–early Autunian (Stephanian C–early Autunian) and composed of the pteridosperm-conifer communities of river valley slopes. In the middle Stephanian, the drought-tolerant plants were represented by pteridosperms Odontopteris subcrenulata, Sphenopteridium cf. germanicum, Taeniopteris jejunata, cordaitaleans Cordaites sp. and conifers Walchia piniformis, Culmitzschia frondosa. In the late Stephanian–early Autunian, the seasonally dry vegetation of the river valley slopes included pteridosperms Autunia conferta, Dichophyllum flabelliferum, Sphenopteridium germanicum, Taeniopteris jejunata, conifers Walchia piniformis, Otovicia hypnoides and cordaitaleans Cordaites sp.
HYDROCHEMICAL ANOMALY OF PORE SOLUTIONS OF LOW-PERMEABILITY CLAYEY ROCKS OF PLATFORM ARTESIAN BASINS OF UKRAINE
Authors: Sukhorebriy Arnold , Koliabina Iryna
Published: July 2024

This paper presents the results of the study of hydrochemical anomalies of pore solutions of low-permeability clayey rocks of platform artesian basins of Ukraine on the example of two basins – Dnipro and Black Sea. As a result of vertical flow, artesian waters can change their chemical composition and form pore water horizons of anomalous composition in relation to aquifers and complexes. Such anomalous water composition has been recorded in the pore solutions of the northwestern part of the Dnipro artesian basin, in the pore solutions of the Palaeogene clay beds in the southern and central parts of the Dnipro artesian basin , and in the pore solutions of the Palaeogene clay-marl rocks of the Dnipro artesian basin. A number of pore solutions of Jurassic clay in the eastern part of the Dnipro artesian basin can also be classified as anomalous. Anomalous pore solutions of clay rocks in the Black Sea artesian basin differ from those in the Dnipro artesian basin in terms of higher mineralisation and chloride anionic composition, which is associated with their sedimentogenic origin and close connection with sedimentogenic marine waters. They are found in both Quaternary and Paleogene clayey rocks. It has been shown that a separate group of anomalous pore solutions consists of pore solutions with an increased concentration and specific composition of microcomponents. The increased concentration of biogenic microcomponents is typical for pore solutions of bottom sediments of water bodies – lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and estuaries. In the zone of intensive water exchange of platform artesian basins, pore solutions with anomalous content of biogenic elements, such as ammonium, silicon and phosphorus, are also found in certain layers of clay rocks (especially Jurassic). In general, the analysis of anomalous pore solutions of poorly permeable layers indicates the complex nature of hydrogeochemical development of continental artesian basins in Ukraine.

Published: July 2024

Objective —  to determine the factors affecting the dynamics of the neurological status in the postoperative period in patients with intramedullary spinal cord astrocytomas (SCA) in order to improve the results of their surgical treatment.
Materials and methods. Between 2010 and 2019, we conducted a retrospective study on the surgical treatment outcomes of 39 SCA patients operated on at the SI “Romodanov Neurosurgery Institute of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine”. The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 67 years, with an average age of 41.4 years. Out of the total, 25 patients (64%) were men and 14 patients (36%) were women. We observed cervical localization in 11 (28%) clinical cases, thoracic localization in 25 (64%), and conus medullaris in 3 (8%). All patients underwent a comprehensive clinical and instrumental examination using magnetic resonance imaging with intravenous enhancement, computed tomography, and spondylography. The dynamics of neurological symptoms were evaluated using the modified McCormick before surgery, at the time of the patient’s hospital discharge, and during follow‑up examinations.
Results. Total removal of SCA was performed in 7 (18%) patients, subtotal in 25 (64%), and partial in 7 (18%). Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) (World Health Organisation (WHO) grade I) was detected in 19 (49%) patients, diffuse astrocytoma (DA) (WHO grade II) in 17 (43%), and anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) (WHO grade III) in 3 (7%). Partial regression of neurological symptoms was noted in 29 (74%) patients, the neurological status remained at the preoperative level in 6 (15%) patients, and a slight increase in the neurological deficit was noted in 4 (10%) patients. Age <60 years is significantly more frequently associated with the growth of PA, while age >60 years is significantly more frequently associated with the growth of AA. The duration of anamnesis (< 1 year and >1 year) and the degree of radicality of the operation were identified as significant factors that can influence the neurological status in the late postoperative period, mainly in patients with PA and DA. However, such factors as tumour location and the degree of infiltration of nearby structures are not statistically significant. AA is associated with an unfavourable prognosis across all important criteria.
Conclusions. The most important determinants of SCA prognosis are preoperative and postoperative neurological condition, resection extent, and histological grade. Patients with minor neurological damage at the time of surgery, those under the age of 60, and those with highly differentiated SCA had the greatest surgical treatment outcomes. Assessment of the preoperative neurological status and determination of the histological type of the tumour are important factors in choosing the optimal surgical tactics, which сan improve treatment outcomes and the quality of life in SCA patients.
Pathophysiology of the gastrointestinal tract in burn disease

Published: July 2024

The review of foreign publications resulted in a generalisation of medical reports on the pathological changes of the gastrointestinal tract in burn disease. Burn disease produces an immediate reaction in all organs and systems, which are not always able to maintain homeostasis and frequently suffer pathophysiological and morphological damage. One of those target systems is the gastrointestinal tract. Only in very rare cases do severe (mainly electrical) burns cause direct injury to the abdominal cavity organs, thus resulting in a very severe clinical course and high mortality. Patients of all ages who have experienced a burn injury have an increased overall risk of developing gastrointestinal diseases, which include pathology of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, as well as lesions of the gallbladder, biliary tract, and pancreas. With a burn area of 40—95%, 5.7% of the victims were diagnosed with pathology of the abdominal organs. Among them, 26.0% had an abdominal catastrophe (infarction or perforation), 37.0% had bleeding from the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract, 32.0% had paralytic intestinal obstruction, and 5.0% developed pancreatitis and acute necrotizing cholecystitis. Large burns are usually associated with a significant decrease in splanchnic perfusion. After severe burns, intestinal ischemia and hypoxia disrupt the intestinal epithelial barrier and enteric bacterial translocation, leading to serious complications such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, and multiple organ failure. Peritonitis or gastrointestinal bleeding accounted for 88.2% of deaths among patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction. In general, gastrointestinal dysfunction was more common in patients with inhalation injuries, burn shock, large burn areas, and high analgesic requirements.

Published: July 2024

Impact on the environment has become an essential obligation for every company, both in products and services. Inter-supply chain management has transformed in responding to the need to pay attention to environmental impacts into environmental management in line with sustainable development goals (SDGs) called green supply chain management (Green SCM). Green SCM has been widely applied to large industries, but it is still a new thing for small and medium industries and lacks information about the concept and its application. This study explores the published Green SCM indexed in the Scopus database. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of 1,776 Scopus-indexed documents from the first year of 1996 to determine the progress of GSCM research. Research trends and keywords that are still relevant and emerging have been explored and explained. Research gaps that require follow-up have been identified, and future research directions have also been discussed.
Efeitos multidirecionais da instrução explícita de pronúncia: o desenvolvimento de VOT longo em inglês (L2) e sua influência nas oclusivas do português brasileiro (L1)
Authors: Kupske Felipe Flores , Perozzo Reiner Vinicius
Published: July 2024

Adotando uma abordagem dinâmica para o desenvolvimento bilíngue, este trabalho investiga os efeitos da instrução explícita de pronúncia na produção do VOT tanto no inglês L2 quanto no português brasileiro (PB) L1. Dados de 16 brasileiros usuários intermediário do inglês, divididos em grupos controle (GC) e experimental (GE), foram coletados e analisados. Apenas o GE recebeu instrução explícita sobre a pronúncia das oclusivas não vozeadas do inglês. Foram realizadas três coletas: um pré-teste, um pós-teste imediato e um pós-teste postergado. Os resultados indicam que o GC não realizou o padrão de VOT esperado para a L2 ao longo do estudo, sem revelar alterações na produção do PB. Por outro lado, o GE, após a instrução, apresentou aumento nos valores de VOT tanto para a L2 quanto para a L1, evidenciando efeitos multidirecionais do ensino explícito de pronúncia.
Moving from exploratory to confirmatory network analysis: An evaluation of SEM fit indices and cutoff values in network psychometrics
Authors: Du Xinkai , Skjerdingstad Nora , Freichel René , Ebrahimi Omid V. , Hoekstra Ria H. A. , Epskamp Sacha
Published: July 2024

Psychometric networks investigate inter-variable relations through uniquely identified multivariate models, without assuming existing latent variables. Thus, network models are well-suited for phenomena detection, and most empirical network studies have been exploratory so far. Yet, due to the close connections between (Gaussian) network and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), confirmatory testing and SEM fit indices are readily applicable to network modeling as well. Confirmatory network psychometrics has been entirely feasible. However, no study to date has evaluated how SEM fit indices perform in confirmatory network analysis, and what criteria should be applied. This study explored the utility of SEM fit indices in confirmatory network analysis and examined the generalizability of their cutoff values in network models. We employed a panel graphical autoregressive model for its generalizability to models used in both cross-sectional (Gaussian graphical models) and $N = 1$ time-series cases (graphical autoregressive). Using simulations, we analyzed the performance of fit indices to test hypothesized network structures and evaluate stationarity, under varying numbers of nodes, sample sizes, and waves. Most fit indices performed well, except Type I incremental fit indices may reject good models in the absence of misspecifications. Conventional SEM cutoffs are largely generalizable to confirmatory network analysis as preliminary assessment criteria when dynamical cutoffs are unavailable. This study validates the use of SEM fit criteria for confirmatory network psychometrics and encourages theory-testing and replication studies in network research, providing practical recommendations for the use of SEM fit indices in confirmatory network testing.
Unraveling Neural Adaptation To Vocal And Non-Vocal Sounds In Autism: Effect Of Emotional Prosody
Authors: Merchie Annabelle , Bonnet-Brilhault Frederique , Escera Carles , Houy-Durand Emmanuelle , Gomot Marie
Published: July 2024

Autism is characterized by a need for sameness but also by difficulties in social communication and interaction. These two aspects have been related at the neural level to atypicalities in change detection as assessed with the mismatch negativity as well as by an atypical brain response to voice. It has been proposed that MMN atypicality could be the consequence of a deficit in neural adaptation, but to date no study has formally characterized neural adaptation in this population. The aim of the present study was i) to characterize neural adaptation in autistic adults with a suitable Roving paradigm and ii) to evaluate the influence of social and emotional prosodic information on neural adaptation using vocal and non-vocal, and neutral and emotional sounds. Neural adaptation was measured in a group of autistic and non-autistic adults in a Roving paradigm with sounds repeated 4, 8 or 14 times. Neural adaptation was found to be atypical and unstabilized in autistic for both nature of sounds with an adaptation to vocal while not for non-vocal sounds. These findings provide better understanding the symptomatology of autism related to atypicalities in adaptation stemming from the need for sameness, as well as the impact of emotional content on socio-communicative impairments.
Be True to Your School: School Profiling and School Sorting by Socio-Economic Status
Authors: Zwier Dieuwke
Published: July 2024

Many national education systems have schools that adopt distinctive elements like alternativepedagogical concepts or specialty themes. This “school profiling” is thought to drive schoolsegregation by socio-economic status (SES). However, since most existing research has focusedon U.S. charter schools and lacks large-scale student-level data, the connection betweenprofiling and SES-based school sorting remains unclear. This study addresses this gap byfocusing on the case of the Netherlands, a country known for its high school autonomy andfreedom of school choice. I use population-wide register data from over 110,000 students (aged11–12), linked to novel data on school profiling. The findings reveal social stratification in accessto schools with distinctive profiles, with higher SES students having access to a more diversepool of schools. Furthermore, conditional logit models show evidence of self-sorting by SES forsome profiles: for instance, schools with progressive learning concepts are less popular amonglower SES students, while higher SES students are comparatively less likely to choose labormarket-themed schools. These SES disparities, however, are modest and not always in theexpected direction. Overall, findings underscore the role of access disparities in shapingSES-based sorting, next to differential preferences for schooling.
Reshaping Identities: Female Agency in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake
Authors: Bhandari Nagendra Bahadur
Published: July 2024

In the Western diaspora, the female immigrants from South Asia face a different cultural and social milieu compared to the patriarchal contexts of their native countries. The negotiation with Western values and practices becomes pivotal in shaping their self-perception and exercise of agency. This paper examines Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel The Namesake to explore the cultural negotiation and subsequent transformation of Ashima, a South Asian female immigrant in the United States. Utilizing Amartya Sen’s capabilities approach, which emphasizes removing cultural, financial, and social barriers to human empowerment, alongside Albert Bandura’s theory of human agency, which highlights the influence of external environments on individual decision-making capabilities, this study analyzes Ashima's transformed self-perception and behaviour. When Ashima adapts to the Western cultural values, she overcomes cultural barriers that restrict her from exercising her agency. Similarly, her engagement in income-generating activities reduces her financial dependency on her husband. The process of acculturation and financial independence transform her from a submissive wife into an independent woman capable of making critical life decisions. The findings underscore the importance of removing cultural barriers and reducing financial dependency to enhance the decision-making capabilities of female immigrants.
SEMANTIC AND PRAGMATIC MANIFESTATION OF MODALEM AND SPECIFICS OF DIALOGIC DISCOURSE TRANSLATION (based on the parallel corpus)
Authors: Сафонова Наталія M. , Алексєєва Ольга М. , Орлова Юлія В.
Published: July 2024

The article centers on the description of the category of subjective modality of dialogic discourse in terms of its semantic and pragmatic nature, exemplify the concept of modalem as a semantic marker of a verbal message, a means of expressing the subjective modality and a semantic quantum of the speaker’s remarks in a literary discourse. It alsо provides a semantic typology of modalems and illustrates the role of modalems with equivalent verbal content.
The structure of dialogic discourse includes: producer – reference situation – remark – recipient. These are the components of communicative situation. The semantic load of such a communication conveys an obligatory modal aspect which is formed by the superposition of semantic and pragmatic coordinates. The process of subjectification (modalization) of the speaker’s remark in fictional discourse begins with the subjective view and perspective one of objective reality, described through a selected subjective mode of comprehension which represents the subjective modality of discourse. In other words, the subjective modal marking of discourse implies the speaker’s intention. Modalization is a complex process of including additional meanings onto the verbal information of a remark, determined by the author-producer’s intentions and their attitude towards the referential meaning. It serves as a pragmatic and axiological quantum of information that the producer embeds in their verbal message. The deciphering of modalem in the context of direct communicative interaction, as exemplified by the dialogic discourse of fictional prose, represents the semantic link that binds together “what the speaker said” and “what they meant to say” into a single semantic whole. For beginner translators, working with corpora for identifying the ways to convey modalems in different languages serves both a reliable basis for successful translation activities and an essential source for practicing interpreting and simultaneous translating.
POLITICAL INTERNET MEMES: A LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Семенишин Олена І.
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the phenomenon of memes, which are a controversial aspect of modern communication, the subtleties of which have not yet been studied. The analysis of language material shows that the combination of verbal and non-verbal components of memes creates an autonomous information entity that is capable of self-reproduction of the representation of a linguistic personality at the phonetic, lexical, grammatical, cognitive and pragmatic levels in political discourse. In this realm, the concept of the “political internet meme” emerges, denoting a specialized form of political discourse that combines visual and verbal components to sway an audience into the realm of political communication. These memes combine traditional political terminology with colloquial vocabulary strategically designed to achieve persuasive goals. Generally, political internet memes are created through affixation and the use of simplified grammatical structures without articles, often intentionally including spelling and grammatical errors to increase their impact.
In pursuit of a comedic effect, the creators of political Internet memes use a whole arsenal of stylistic and linguistic means. These include complex wordplay involving phonetic and morphological manipulations, various expressive techniques, and playful experiments with typography and punctuation. Thanks to such means, memes go beyond the simple transmission of information, turning into powerful tools of political expression and persuasion.

STUDY OF THE SARS-COV-2 GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION AMONG DIFFERENT ANIMAL SPECIES
Authors: Molozhanova A. V.
Published: July 2024

This article presents the results of an epidemiological analysis of the data of modern, mainly foreign, available information on the occurrence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 among various animal species. We used official data from the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection and official data from the World Animal Health Organization (OIE). An analysis of available information published by foreign and domestic scientists on cases of the disease and positive results of studies for COVID-19 among animals was also carried out. SARS-CoV-2 was the biggest global public health disaster since the 1918 influenza pandemic known as the "Spanish flu", creating an unprecedented threat to all of humanity, causing colossal damage to the global economy. Over the past two decades, coronavirus outbreaks have caused concern around the world, including cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) reported in China in 2003. And the outbreak in 2012 with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Coronaviruses such as MERS-CoV and SARS, along with Ebola and influenza, are on the lists of infections with pandemic potential. Coronaviruses cause a wide variety of diseases in animals, and their ability to cause severe illness in livestock such as pigs, cows, chickens, dogs, and cats led to significant research on these viruses in the last half of the twentieth century. A wide range of mammalian species have demonstrated susceptibility through experimental contamination and in vivo through close contact with infected humans and other infected animals. But there have been cases in which people can transmit SARS-CoV-2 to animals, especially during close contact. Such cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in animals have been documented around the world. Most of these animals became infected after coming into contact with people with COVID-19, including owners, caretakers, or others who were in close contact.

To solve this problem, the existing mathematical model of the change in the departure of the load was used, which was supplemented by a mathematical model of the motion of an asynchronous electric drive in time. The parameters for setting the frequency-controlled drive are used: the duration of the increase in the frequency of the supply voltage, the initial supply voltage of the electric motor and the type of characteristic of the increase, up to the nominal value, of the frequency of the supply voltage.

The maximum values of the torque in the elastic coupling, the effort in the traction rope and the power in the electric drive were used as optimization criteria. Using the modified RING-ROT-PSO optimization method, the rational values of the given parameters and the type of characteristic are established, in which the minimization of the studied criteria is observed. A comparative analysis of discrepancies when varying different types of characteristics was performed, which proved the adequacy of the performed parametric optimization.

Parametric optimization of the frequency-controlled electric drive was carried out, which made it possible to minimize the amount of undesirable dynamic (torque in the elastic coupling and force in the traction rope of the truck drive) and energy (power in the drive) characteristics of the dynamic "cart-load" system of the mechanism for changing the departure of the tower crane. A modified method of swarm particles (RING-ROT-PSO) was used for optimization. It was established that the minimum values of dynamic criteria when using optimal characteristics (linear and 2S-shaped) in the range of 6.9...27.9% are smaller than when using non-optimal (U-shaped and S-shaped) characteristics. The minimum value of the energy criterion when using a U-shaped characteristic is 30.4% less than when using an S-shaped characteristic. Therefore, in order to minimize the amount of unwanted dynamic indicators during the frequency-controlled start of the dynamic system "cart-load" of the departure change mechanism, it is desirable to use linear and 2S-like characteristics, and to minimize the amount of unwanted energy indicator, U-shaped. At the same time, it is also necessary to rationally set parameters t1 and U0.

Animal mycobacterioses, unlike those in humans, are not in the focus of veterinary science and practice for various reasons. This fact, as well as some others, including the growing incidence of human mycobacteriosis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria involved in the sensitisation of productive animals, is an objective, albeit indirect, indication of the existing problem of mycobacteriosis in veterinary medicine. This study employed the comparative geographical and epizootological methods of analysis. The findings obtained from the publications of scientists from around the world helped to summarise and objectively assess the severity of the epizootic situation regarding mycobacteriosis in animals in the world and in Ukraine, to identify a range of features of the infectious and epizootic processes, and to establish the dominant aetiopathogenetic criteria for this infection in animal populations. Animal mycobacteriosis is the subject of detailed scientific research in most countries of the world, as this disease is widespread among productive and unproductive (domestic and wild) animals, as well as the fish fauna of sea and river waters. It was found that the most common causative agents of mycobacteriosis are nontuberculous mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium avium complex, M. abscessus complex, M. kansasii, and M. fortuitum, and some others. In Ukraine, animal mycobacteriosis is not given due attention, even though parallergic reactions to tuberculin in cattle lead to complications in the diagnosis of tuberculosis infection. They cause considerable losses in dairy farming due to the culling and slaughter of highly productive cows. Identification of aetiopathogenetic patterns of paraallergic reactions to tuberculin in productive animals is a key to effective control and management of the epizootic process of animal mycobacteriosis and reduction of biohazards of human infection with non-tuberculous mycobacteria through food of animal origin

Study of acceleration modes Skoda Octavia on a roller stand

As you know, the main characteristics that determine the state of the power unit are the power level and torque. These parameters affect the dynamic qualities of the car and can also play a role in fuel consumption and emission levels.
To check these characteristics, traction roller stands of the inertial type are used. These stands allow you to simulate real traffic conditions and loads. Usually, on such stands, the traction force on the driving wheels is measured, which makes it easy to calculate the power in certain driving modes.
However, creating a full-fledged load on the driving wheels of the car being diagnosed requires the use of powerful loading and driving devices. This significantly increases the cost of the stand and its metal content.
An alternative to this method is the compressed acceleration method. In this method, the load is created by a relatively small inertial mass together with a loading and driving device of moderate power. The diagnostic parameter in this method can be traction force on the wheels, acceleration, time or path of acceleration of the wheels in the selected speed range. For measurement accuracy, it is better to use acceleration time. However, all the advantages of the method can be manifested only with the correct choice of test modes. During testing, results depend on the accuracy and stability of maintaining the test mode. Acceleration time will be measured more accurately, the slower the wheels and rollers of the stand accelerate. During the tests, it is necessary to choose the high-speed measurement mode to ensure a sufficiently stable torque value.
The article analyzes the acceleration modes of a car on a roller stand and their influence on the accuracy of diagnostics. The smallest error is achieved when measuring acceleration time from 50 to 70 km/h in IV gear with additional load or in V gear without load.

The purpose of the study is to systematize and generalize scientific knowledge to identify modern diagnostic tools that are used in preventive and corrective measures for people with biomechanics disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Research methods: theoretical analysis, systematization, comparison, generalization of data of scientific and methodological and special literature, general scientific methods of the theoretical level: analogy, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, induction. Results. The diversity and variety of approaches to the interpretation of the concept of the body are manifested both at the level of ordinary, mass consciousness of the practices corresponding to it, and within the limits of specialized, professional types of activity, including at the level of specific scientific and philosophical knowledge. Phenomenology assumes a social topology according to which the body is a product of social construction. Bodywork techniques and practices are authentic to social forms of being, emerge from them and are generated by them, thereby ensuring their legitimation and reproduction. Body sex, posture and plasticity begin to play an important role for gender identification in adolescence and young adulthood. The works of modern researchers present a fairly complete overview and classification of various research approaches to the study of human physicality. Conclusions. According to the results of the conducted research, it was established: underlining the increased attention of specialists to technologies and methods of diagnosing disorders of the musculoskeletal system state of people of different ages, we note the need to refine certain aspects of this process; the existence of a contradiction is an objective necessity in strengthening the health of persons of various ages with violations in musculoskeletal system, improving the quality of life and the actual  insufficient practice of using diagnostic tools and corrective and preventive measures in this process; the number of effective methodical developments that ensure effective correction of musculoskeletal system violations of people of different ages is very small which requires in-depth scientific development.
