Teknologi Pengolahan Emisi dengan Menggunakan Electrostatic Presipitator (ESP)
Authors: Sutrisno Hendri , Meilasari Fitriana
Published: July 2024

Indonesia menduduki peringkat ke-17 di dunia dan peringkat teratas di Asia Tenggara sebagai negara yang tingkat polusi udaranya tertinggi, dengan konsentrasi PM2,5 mencapai 34,3 μg/m3. Peningkatan konsumsi energi oleh industri menghasilkan emisi yang menyebabkan pencemaran lingkungan dan gangguan pernapasan. PM2,5 lebih berbahaya bagi kesehatan dari pada PM10 karena ukurannya yang kecil dapat tersimpan dalam alveoli yang menyebabkan gangguan fungsi sistem imun. Oleh karena itu diperlukan teknologi pengendalian pencemaran udara seperti electrostatic precipitator (ESP). ESP sangat efektif sebagai pengandali partikulat yang berukuran ≤10 mikron. Tujuan penulisan makalah ini adalah mengkaji teknologi ESP. Metode yang digunakan adalah literatur review. ESP sudah banyak diterapkan di industri dalam mengolah partikulat karena efisiennya 75 hingga 99%. Prinsip utama sistem ESP adalah menangkap partikel padat yang keluar dari hasil pembakaran dengan cara memberikan arus listrik DCdan tegangan yang tinggi pada kawat elektroda bermuatan negatif. Proses ini menyebabkan partikulat tersebut bermuatan negatif dan terikat di plat yang bermuatan positif, sehingga gas buang yang lepas ke atmosfer bersih.
Characterizing excited-state intramolecular proton transfer in 3-hydroxyflavone and 3 hydroxy-2-(thiophen-2-yl)chromen-4-one with ultrafast transient infrared spectroscopy
Authors: Winkler Valerie , Fournier Joseph
Published: July 2024

Vibrational dynamics associated with excited-state intramolecular proton transfer in 3 hydroxyflavone and 3-hydroxy-2-(thiophen-2-yl)chromen-4-one are characterized with ultrafast transient infrared spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data reveal rapid (<100 fs) proton transfer dynamics in both species, followed by vibrational relaxation of the tautomer products within a few picoseconds. Coherent coupling of the shared proton to low-frequency modes along the proton transfer coordinate is also observed.
A novel versatile platform as efficient deoxydehydration (DODH) catalysts: Keggin polyoxometalates
Authors: Magerat Alixandre , Hermans Sophie , Gaigneaux Eric
Published: July 2024

Despite their high tunability and versatility, the use of Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) as deoxydehydration (DODH) catalysts has never been investigated. In this contribution, we report for the very first time the promising catalytic performances in DODH of 1,2-hexanediol (chosen as model substrate) of tetrabutylammonium phosphododecamolybdate (TBAPMo12) (100% conversion, 52% selectivity). This Keggin POM was easily obtained by ion metathesis and precipitation of the commercially available H3PMo12O40 (HPMo) with TBABr. Additionally, we show that it is possible to greatly improve the catalytic performances of (TBA)3PW12O40 (TBAPW12), which in its pristine form is not as performant (45% conversion, 23% selectivity) as its Mo counterpart. To do so, the monolacunary form of PW was synthesized ((TBA)4H3PW11O39 = TBAHPW11) and then metalated with a Re precursor, yielding a very active (100% conversion, 73% selectivity) (TBA)4PW11ReVO40 (TBAPW11Re) mixed-metal compound. TBAPW11Re was fully characterized by IR, 31P NMR, ICP-AES, UV-vis and elemental analysis and its catalytic nature was investigated together with TBAPMo. Cold filtration tests and recycling experiments revealed that it is their dissolution that leads to DODH-active species.
Light-Triggered Rolling and Unrolling of Molecular Crystal Microsheets

Published: July 2024

The anthracene derivative (E)-3-(3-(anthracen-9-yl)allylidene)-1,5-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane-2,4-dione (E-ADUD) undergoes an EZ photoisomerization in solution but is inactive when crystals are grown using standard methods like solvent diffusion. However, the lipophilic cyclohexyl group facilitates precipitation of crystalline microsheets with submicron thicknesses from an aqueous solution containing sodium dodecyl sulfate and 1-dodecanol. These microsheets have horizontal dimensions on the order of 200 m and are composed of a metastable crystal polymorph that permits the EZ isomerization to proceed. EZ photoisomerization using visible light caused these microsheets to rapidly roll up into multilayer micro-cylinders with diameters ranging from 20-40 m. If the light was removed at this point, the microscrolls were stable indefinitely. Continued exposure to visible light uncurled these cylindrical structures, reversing the mechanical process but not the photochemical reaction. The unrolled microsheets retained their crystallinity and could bend and twist under alternating UV and visible light, behaving as a photoreversible crystal but without additional rolling up. The initial high curvature rolling up can be attributed to the creation of a surface layer of Z-isomer, while prolonged irradiation distributes this photoproduct more uniformly throughout the crystal and relieves the interfacial stress. This photoinduced rolling and unrolling could prove useful for applications like antenna or stent opening in hard-to-reach environments.
Trifluoroacetic Acid Mediated Additive-free Late-Stage Native Pep-tide Cyclization to Form Disulfide Mimetics via Thioketalization with Ketones
Authors: XIAO Yisa , ZHOU Haiyan , Liu Han , Li Xuechen
Published: July 2024

Peptide cyclization is often used to introduce conformational rigidity and enhance the physiological stability of the peptide. This study presents a novel late-stage cyclization method for creating thioketal cyclic peptides from bis-cysteine peptides and drugs. Symmetrical cyclic ketones and acetone were found to react with bis-cysteine unprotected peptides efficiently to form thioketal linkages in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) without any other additive. The attractive features of this method include high chemoselec-tivity, operational simplicity, robustness. In addition, TFA as the reaction solvent can dissolve any unprotected peptide. As a showcase, the dimethyl thioketal versions of lanreotide and octreotide were prepared and evaluated, both of which showed much improved reductive stability and comparable activity.

Authors: Hakeem Hasheem
Published: July 2024

Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude de cas qualitative des perceptions de garçons du secondaire au sujet de la diversité de genre. Les données ont été recueillies au moyen d’un questionnaire, d’enregistrements sonores de discussions sur deux bandes dessinées de l’écrivaine trans Sophie Labelle, de journaux de bord et d’entretiens individuels semi-dirigés. Trois résultats ressortent de l’analyse des données : (1) le soutien à des conceptions biologiques et binaires du genre; (2) la fragilité cisgenre, à savoir une attitude défensive lorsque des visions du monde cisgenres sont remises en question; et (3) la performance sociale de la transphobie comme moyen de construction de la masculinité hégémonique. Nous terminons par une discussion des résultats et de leurs implications pédagogiques.

Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Bykov Ilya , Gladchenko Irina
Published: July 2024

The aim of this article is to examine current research approaches deployed by scholars in Russia to study deepfakes in digital communication. The article uses the method of meta-analysis based on the database of the electronic resource eLIBRARY.RU - the leading electronic library of scientific periodicals in Russian. It provides an open access to a large amount of scientific information. eLIBRARY.RU maintains the Russian Scientific Citation Index with the most reliable information in terms of finding publications on the topic of deepfakes. The search was carried out using the key word “deepfake”. As a result of the search 560 publications in Russian have been found. The sample contains 159 publications, which have been cited at least once. The authors compose a classification of cited materials by topic. It has been found that deepfakes have been studied in Russia largely within legal studies (53 % of all cited publications). Publications in political science, media and communications make up 9% and 10% respectively. The lowest number of publications is in the field of information technology and sociology. According to the results of the study, it can be stated that research problem of deepfakes is relatively new for the field of communication research in Russia. At the same time, a rapid increase of research interest to the subject has been found. On the basis of the results obtained, it is concluded that studies of deepfake in digital communication in Russia lack empirical data.
ON THE OPTIMAL DISCRETIZATION OF THE SOLUTIONPOISSON’S EQUATION
Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Utessov Adilzhan , Shanauov Ruslan
Published: July 2024

The paper studies the problem of discretizing the solution of the Poisson equation with the right hand side f belonging to the multidimensional periodic Sobolev class. The research methodology is based on considering the problem of discretizing the solution of the Poisson equation as one of the concretizations of the general problem of optimal recovery of the operator Tf and using well known statements of approximation theory. Within the framework of this general optimal recovery problem, we first estimate from above the smallest discretization error N of the solution of the Poisson equation in the Hilbert metric using the discretization operator (l(N) , N) constructed from a finite set of Fourier coefficients of the function f. A lower estimate, coinciding in order with the upper estimate, for the smallest error N was obtained by involving all linear functionals defined on the multidimensional Sobolev class. It should be noted that the optimal discretization operator (l(N) , N) better approximates the solution under consideration in the Hilbert metric than any discretization operator constructed from values f at given points. Poisson’s equation is an elliptic partial differential equation and describes many physical phenomena such as electrostatic field, stationary temperature field, pressure field and velocity potential field in hydrodynamics. Therefore, the relevance of the research conducted here is beyond doubt.

This work deals with the urgent problem in the mechanics of a deformable solid: studying factors of the stress-strain state of a single-span statically indeterminate beam with complex boundary conditions that is under conditions of complex resistance (axial compression with plane transverse bending). To solve the problem, both analytical methods (the method of forces in the form of “five” support moments, the method of initial parameters) and the numerical finite difference method with a “linear” grid with density n=8 were used. The necessary resolving equations and matrices are given to take into account changes in the rigidity parameter of the right hinged support and variations in concentrated and uniformly distributed loads, both along the axis of the beam and across it. In the final form, diagrams of deflections, bending moments and shear forces were constructed for specific values of bending rigidity and the degree of elastic compliance of the right hinge-yielding support. Reliability of the theoretical principles and applied results obtained by the authors is confirmed on the basis of the given alternative calculation methods.

Published: July 2024

The optimization of computational efficiency in Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models plays a cru-cial role in enhancing predictions of oil recovery factors in reservoir engineering and Enhanced Oil Re-covery (EOR). This study investigates the application of dynamic quantization to improve the efficiency of ANN models deployed in resource-constrained environments. Dynamic quantization, which converts model weights and activations to lower precision formats during inference, aims to reduce memory us-age and accelerate computation without significant loss of predictive accuracy.Using a synthetic dataset generated from the Buckley-Leverett model, encompassing parameters such as porosity, oil viscosity, permeability, classification, and time series data, we evaluated the im-pact of dynamic quantization on model size, inference time, and predictive performance. Experimental results demonstrate that dynamic quantization effectively reduces model size and speeds up inference, making it suitable for deployment on edge devices with limited computational resources.This research contributes to advancing the practical implementation of dynamic quantization tech-niques in optimizing ANN models for complex predictive tasks in reservoir engineering and related fields. The findings underscore the potential of dynamic quantization in improving computational ef-ficiency and facilitating the deployment of ANN models in real-world applications.

Contribution and involvement of Hazbans in islamic civilization(648_923H/1250_1517AD), Bahri and Charkas mamluks era as an illustration
Authors: Abdalrahman Hussein Hussein
Published: July 2024

Al-Hazbany played a significant role in building and managing authority during the Middle Ages, establishing a Kurdish emirate within the Islamic state. Their influence extended beyond their homeland, as they journeyed thousands of kilometers towards Egypt and the Levant, actively participating in state affairs. Notably, the tribe made substantial contributions to scientific development, particularly during the eras of the Bahri Mamluks and Circassian kingdoms. The research comprises an introduction and two sections. The introduction sheds light on the origins of the Al-Hazbany tribe, their geographical presence, and their early political engagements, Especially in the Kurdistan regions, because they started their first political and military uprising in Kurdistan. The first section explores the multifaceted role of the tribe in the Bahri Mamluks kingdoms, covering administrative, scientific, religious, and literary aspects, Because with the disappearance of Ayyubid rule, the Hazbanis continued to provide scientific and administrative services. In the second section, the focus shifts to the Circassian kingdoms, providing insights into the administrative and scientific roles of the Hazbanys and their significant contributions to reconstruction. We note that during this period the Kurdish Hazbanis paid attention to the aspect of prayer، for example, the construction of mosques, scientific sites and even places known by their names, but it is not known why they were used.

Published: July 2024

One of the most important social classes of Spartan city-state society was the slaves, known as the Helots. They were the majority of the other classes. As a result of Sparta's colonialist operations, most of its population was enslaved, especially both regions of  Laconian and Messenia, this class belonged to the state in terms of ownership, so they were used for many political and economic purposes and whatever heavy responsibilities were on their shoulders, on the other hand they were harshly supervised, because these were basically free people and forced As slaves, they therefore constantly tried to be free and regain their citizenship, until they carried out several rebellions and revolutions, known in human history as the Spartan Slave Revolution in the 5th century BC.
This research, shed light on the characteristics of the slave class in the city-state of Sparta and the early stages of slavery in and their differences from other Social classes, then the way they were treated by the rulers of the city-state and revolted this class for their elementary rights, against the rulers of the city-state of Sparta.

Agent in Kurdish language (Bahdini subdialect)
Authors: Ibrahim Ali Vian
Published: July 2024

The agent in the Kurdish language, especially in modern grammar, is known as a semantic role, limiting its function to the sentence level. To contradict this view, an attempt has been made in this study to explain the agent at both morphological and syntactic levels. At the morphological level, some derivational bound morphemes play a major role in forming some nouns that carry within themselves the concept of the agent known as agent nouns. Also at the sentence level, in addition to the semantic features of the noun phrase that identify and distinguish the agent role from other roles, it is expected that the verb phrase can contribute greatly in the identification and recognition of the agent. For this purpose, Larson's theory (1988) has been employed to deconstruct the VP-shell into the main verb phrase VP and the light verb phrase (carrier of the concept of agent in the VP). The sentences are analyzed according to Chomsky's minimalist program principles. Research data is collected from the everyday speech of Bahdini dialect speakers. Results show that Larson's theory of deconstructing the VP could be considered the best and only way to analyze the agent in the Bahdini sentence; and the morpheme (ان), in addition to its agentive and causative functions, can also function as a light verb.
The Potential for Implementing Democratic Assessment through Authentic Assessment Practices in the Context of Kurdistan Region Public University English Departments
Authors: Abdullah Ismael Dler
Published: July 2024

This study explored the potential for implementing democratic assessment through conducting authentic assessment practices in three university English departments in the Kurdistan Region. Democratic assessment could be tremendously influential in education as it allows teacher-student negotiations about educational issues, resulting in making progress in education. Specifically, the study investigated the nature of teacher-student relation, the power of EFL students in discussing and making decisions about how to assess them, the provision of assessment ethicality through student accommodation, and the educational benefits of democratic assessment. All these issues were investigated by employing two research methods: interviews with 15 university EFL teachers and three focus group interviews, epistemologically adopting interpretivism and phenomenological approach. The findings revealed that, firstly, democratic assessment through authentic assessment practices were implemented along with satisfactory teacher-student relations, but still inadequate, unplanned, and students were not befriended. Secondly, it discovered that, although teachers believed in students’ rights to discuss assessment issues with their teachers, students’ power in discussing and making decisions as to how to assess them were limited in terms of disregarding students’ opinions and being indifferent about their preferences. Thirdly, participants believed in implementing various authentic assessment practices, instead of one shot exams, to provide fair assessments leading to assessment ethicality. Fourthly, to varying degrees, all the participants admitted, perceived, or believed that democratic assessment could have significant benefits for teaching and learning English language, achieving fairer, more accurate, more reliable, and more valid assessments accompanied by multi-dimensional feedback to students, resulting in more learning progress.
Ukrainian biaspectuality: An instantiation of compositional aspect in a verbal-aspect language
Authors: Bakardzhieva-Morikang Svitlana , Kabakčiev Krasimir
Published: July 2024

Aspect, the perfective-imperfective contrast, is a universal phenomenon, part of man’s cognitive organization to reflect objective/subjective reality by conceptualizing referents of verbs and of nominals/NPs standing for participants in situations as temporal entities, residing in speaker-hearers’ heads and interacting between each other. Aspect is instantiated across languages through two archetypes: verbal aspect (VA) – grammatical, as in the Slavic languages, including Ukrainian; compositional aspect (CA) – complex semantico-syntactic, sporadically dependent on pragmatic discourse elements, as in English. The paper explores Ukrainian language data to, first, confirm that CA, realized mainly as a very complex interplay of sentence components, exists not only in CA languages but, albeit peripherally, also in VA languages, including Ukrainian. Second, to find out how the Ukrainian aspect is realized in sentences with biaspectual verbs and particular numbers of situation-participant NPs: three, two, one. The referents of verbs and of nominals/NPs standing for participants in situations in both VA and CA languages are part of the never-ending process of thinking and perpetual resorting to memory and are not some abstract self-contained system of symbols divorced from human cognition. Phrased otherwise, aspect, especially CA, cannot be understood within the domain of traditional grammar and mainstream linguistics with their naivist notions ignoring man’s cognitive capacity and maintaining, inter alia, that nominals/NPs are concrete/physical or abstract entities. The study of matter is ordained to physics. Linguistics must investigate not the material world but how language reflects this world and other possible (imaginable) worlds. A simple analogue is a woman in a mirror: it is not a material object but an image of a woman; likewise, a woman referred to through language is not a material object but a token of a woman. Hence, NP referents of material things are not physical entities but images of such entities, fully describable, and their kineticism is handled by verb referents, whereby the intricate CA mechanism, which is cognitive, can be observed, albeit peripherally, also in VA languages, including Ukrainian.

Book Review
Authors: Ghanmi Rabeb
Published: July 2024

This review critiques The Psychology of Multilingualism: Concepts, Theories and Application by Lajos Göncz whose research contributed extensively to the field of psychology of bilingualism and minority studies. In light of the quintessential body of research investigating bilingualism and multilingualism as intriguing complex phenomena, this book provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to the research of bi- and multilingualism.   Göncz approaches bi-/multilingualism as a cognitively challenging experience from a psychological, individual, and societal perspective. Basic concepts, theories, and definitions related to the psychological regularities of multilingualism are discussed in the book. Göncz also explores bi-/multilingualism from the perspective of developmental and personality psychology, elucidating the effect of speaking multiple languages on emotions, behavior, and cognitive development. Additionally, issues pertaining to the social psychology of multilingualism, including biculturalism, multiculturalism, and cultural diversity, are scrutinized, offering insights into the importance of preserving minority languages and cultures. The book also touches upon the educational aspects of the psychology of multilingualism, revisiting models of bi-/multilingual education that might be implemented to stimulate language development in the dominant as well as in the minority language.
Double strategies for reproducing multimodal puns in interlinguistic translation: Experimental research
Authors: Rebrii Oleksandr , Frolova Iryna , Rebrii Inna
Published: July 2024

The research is dedicated to exposing the specifics of translating multimodal puns based on the retrospective experiment. A multimodal pun is defined as a creolized/ polycoded formation substantiated by a specific type of ambiguity consisting of two inhomogeneous semiotic modes. The material for our research was provided by verbal-visual puns functioning as separate texts. Each multimodal pun results from intersemiotic translation when the signs of one semiotic system are transformed into the signs of another. For the vast majority of multimodal puns, verbal signs are interpreted into pictures, but the opposite cannot be excluded either. The role of the visual component is twofold. It can be creative when the picture is part of the ambiguity mechanism, or it can be amplifying when the picture accentuates the verbal wordplay, not participating directly in the creation of ambiguity. Hence, our first hypothesis is that multimodal puns with an amplifying visual component are a lesser challenge for translators than those with a creative one due to the absence of the necessity to coordinate verbal and visual modes in the target text. The research aims to identify the strategies of interlinguistic translation of multimodal puns and the factors that determine them, particularly the impact of the visual mode on the translator’s decision-making. Hence, our second hypothesis is that multimodal puns require double strategies that would allow to correlate the reproduction of the elements of two different semiotic systems. The analysis of the subjects’ translations, as well as their reports received in the course of the delayed retrospective experiment, confirmed both hypotheses.

Quantitative biostratigraphic model for the tertiary of the lower Magdalena basin, Colombian Caribbean
Authors: Cuartas Carlos , Jaramillo Carlos , Martínez José Ignacio
Published: July 2024

The reinterpretation of biostratigraphic information by new models and quantitative correlation techniques substantially improves its resolution and its correlative potential, thus minimizing oil exploration risks. With this aim, biostratigraphic information, i.e. first (FO) and last (LO) occurrence events of benthonic and planktonic foraminifera was analysed from sixteen wells from the Lower Magdalena Valley (LMV). The inconsistencies found in the biostratigraphic record, i.e. varying successions of first and last appearances of species from well to well as a result of several factors such incomplete sampling and preservation, true variation in the distribution of fosil taxa, etc., and the great amount of biostratigraphic data makes it practically impossible to accurately constrain basin history from biostratigraphic information by unaided visual inspection. This motivates the treatment of biostratigraphic information with new quantitative approaches, such as constrained optimization (CONOP9 software) and graphic correlation concepts (GraphCor 3,0) and the comparative method approach of Cooper et al. (2001). The succession of biostratigraphic events found through the application of each technique was statistically filtered and compared with Kendall tau coefficients whose values were 0,8. An optimal biostratigraphic succession of LOs was found and calibrated with the Berggren et al. (1995) global time scale by a LOESS regression model for the middle Eocene-Pliocene interval, thus revealing three major changes in sediment accumulation rates for the basin during this time interval: (1) middle Eocene to Oligocene, with low accumulation rates, (2) early Miocene to middle Miocene, with high accumulation rates and (3) late Miocene to Pliocene, with lower accumulation rates. The calibrated composite succession enabled the construction of age-well depth plots, which indicate periods of local deposition and accumulation rates, and periods of erosion, no deposition or very low accumulation rates (unconformities). The best plots were used to build a model for the correlation of unconformities, which shows that they are heterochronous, lasted at least 2,5 Ma, and are of limited extent. Finally, a correlation model was proposed that includes: (1) a time-calibrated succession of biostratigraphic events, and (2) a Haq curve that shows how each geologic period is recorded in each well.
Stimulation jobs evaluation based on decline curve analysis
Authors: Ruz Rojas Salvador , Humberto Amaya Carlos , Mendoza Alberto
Published: July 2024

The assessment of the success of a stimulation job often has a lot of uncertainties caused by the different viewpoints assumed by engineers. This paper presents a methodology to evaluate the success of workovers jobs, using common production data and well known equations. For wells in pseudo-steady state flow, assuming that the oil rate can be extrapolated using decline curve analysis, the effectiveness of the stimulation job is quantified in terms of additional oil reserves, changes in productivity index, removed skin and profits. A MatlabTM software application was built to calculate the declining parameters and two examples in the Brisas field (an oilfield located at the Southwest of Colombia) are used to illustrate the methodology.

Published: July 2024

The study attempted to look beyond the pre-Islamic discourse in the Mu’allaqat of Zuhair bin Abi Salma and Tarfa bin Al-Abd, aiming to reveal the rhetorical political system which leads to obtain the appropriate societal acceptance or rejection, and the effect on the life of the discourse producer or the poet. The study chose two poets who are different in terms of their styles, and their social and political status. It focuses on this difference’s impact on the systematic discourse, the tribal response, in addition to the political end of both of their lives, based on their systemic awareness in their Mu’allaqat.
The study included a theorization concerned with the cultural system, its nature, characteristics, and the conditions of the systemic function. It focuses on criticism and its relationship to politics and the task of the critic, in addition to an execution for this analogy on the two Mu’allaqat, on the technical level of the introduction to the poem and the relationship of this level to the discourse for which it was produced.
The Image of the Other in the Customs and Traditions of the People of Oman in the Tourism Discourse: “A Journey from India to England by William Heid” as a Case Study

This study aimed to explore the representation of the Other in the customs and traditions of Oman's people within the touristic discourse, using "A Suspicious Journey from India to England – An Early 19th Century Gulf Portrait by William Heid" as a case study. Recognizing that the study of humanity is, in essence, the study of all human beings and considering that place holds cultural value emanating from the amalgamation of people's customs, traditions, and ways of thinking—known as the site's stratigraphy, which distinguishes one personality from another—the research sought to highlight the image of the Other in the customs and traditions of Oman as portrayed by Heid. It questioned whether these portrayals could serve as a tourist attraction for the Arabian Gulf region, particularly Muscat, and how Heid managed to employ the Omani people's customs, traditions, and behaviors as a tourist attraction for the Arabian Gulf. Given that customs and traditions represent an intriguing element for discovering the Other, the discourse in some of its forms is a principal component of linguistic communication in tourism. Through strategic use, it transforms the narrative element into a tool for expressing the aesthetics of the visited city, portraying the behaviors of its inhabitants and its various dimensions.The study adopted a descriptive analytical approach, where the researcher examined the report and focused on the key customs and traditions highlighted by Heid in his discourse; these serve either as sources of tourist attraction or repulsion. The study concluded that Heid relied on depicting the landmarks he observed, contributing to correcting the receiver's image and enhancing the cultural aspect.

The incidence of oncogynecological pathologies, including endometrial cancer (EC), tends to increase, especially among women of reproductive age. Treatment of EC involves radical surgical intervention, as well as combined chemoradiotherapy according to indications, which has a traumatic effect on the physical, psycho-emotional, and social well-being of the patient. A comprehensive personalized rehabilitation program significantly improves the quality of life (QoL). However, the issue of introducing restorative measures into еру clinical practice remains open.

The paper considers the current approaches to the initial noninvasive lung ventilation (NILV) in premature newborns in the early neonatal period. The international recommendations and clinical algorithms of primary respiratory therapy for neonatal respiratory disorder syndrome are presented. The paper discusses the Russian resuscitation experience of lung ventilation with two airway phases as a starting respiratory support for children with extremely low weight babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. It analyzes early predictors for failures and criteria for optimizing the clinical effectiveness of initial two-phase NILV in premature babies in the early neonatal period.

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of complex pregravid preparation
programs, including sodium chloride baths, electropulse therapy and manual
therapy, and their impact on the endometrium, uterine blood flow parameters
according to ultrasound and dopplerometry, as well as on the pregnancy rate in
patients with chronic endometritis.
Materials and methods. The randomized study included 95 patients with
chronic endometritis aged 28 to 45 years. 32 women of the main group
received a complex of electropulse therapy procedures (10 procedures),
sodium chloride baths (10 procedures) and manual therapy (5 sessions). 32
patients of the comparison group received treatment consisting of electropulse
therapy and sodium chloride baths. In 31 patients of the control group,
restorative treatment was used, including electrical impulse therapy and fresh
baths.
Results. The value of the arterial perfusion index increased in the comparison
group by 2.36 times (p 0.05), and in the main group by 2.6 times (p 0.05). In the
control group, this indicator did not change significantly.
The systolic-diastolic ratio in the right uterine artery in the control group
decreased by 6.18% (p 0.001), in the comparison group - by 9.18% (p 0.001),
in the main group by 20.8% (p 0.001). 0.001). The indicator of systolic-diastolic
ratio in the left uterine artery in the control group decreased by 7.44% (p 0.001),
in the comparison group - by 9.27% (p 0.05), in the main group by 20.4%
(p 0.001). The decrease in the systolic-diastolic ratio after treatment in the
main group significantly exceeded similar indicators in the control group and the
comparison group (p 0.001).
Conclusion. Sodium chloride baths and manual therapy as part of complex
restorative treatment help to improve the structure of the endometrium and
increase the volumetric blood flow of the uterus. Manual therapy reduces vascular
resistance, which is manifested in a decrease in the systolic-diastolic ratio in the
uterine arteries.
