Published: February 2022

Automatic segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which bases on Residual U-Net (ResU-Net), helps radiologists to quickly assess the condition. However, the ResU-Net structure requires a large number of parameters and storage model space. It is not convenient to apply to mobile MRI device. To solve this problem, Depthwise Separable Convolution and Squeeze-and-Excitation Residual U-Networks (DSRU-Net) is proposed to segment MRI. Squeeze-and-Excitation method is a channel attention mechanism. The proposed method is conducive to simplify ResU-Net model, making ResU-Net more convenient to be applied to mobile MRI device. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, which includes three evaluation factors are that the required parameters of the model, the value of Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), and the value of Hausdorff Distance (HD), is used to evaluate the test results of the proposed method on the MICCAI 2012 Prostate MR Image Segmentation (PROMISE12) challenge dataset and Automatic Cardiac Diagnosis Challenge (ACDC) dataset. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation values obtained by the proposed method in 5 PROMISE12 samples and 15 ACDC samples are 0.9889 and 0.9652, respectively. Combining the average results of the two datasets, the proposed method has the best effect in balancing the accuracy of segmentation and the amount of model parameters.

BACKGROUND: Many individuals continued to work from home even after nearly 9 months since the COVID-19 pandemic started in spring of 2020. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a follow-up survey of the faculty and staff of a large Midwest university to determine whether there had been any changes to their home work environment and health outcomes since a prior survey conducted at the start of the pandemic in spring of 2020. METHODS: An electronic survey was sent out to all employees, staff, and administration (approximately 10,350 individuals) and was completed by 1,135 individuals. RESULTS: It was found that not much had changed after nearly 9 months of working at home. Faculty and staff continued to primarily use laptops without an external keyboard, monitor or mouse. Few participants reported using chairs with adjustable armrests. These conditions continued to result in high levels of body discomfort (49% neck and head, 45% low back, and 62% upper back and shoulders having moderate to severe pain). CONCLUSION: If workers are going to continue to work from home, companies will need to accommodate them with more than a laptop, and should include an external keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Research on the selection of a preservative for a soft dosage form with a water-soluble protein-polysaccharide complex of the fungus pleurotus ostreatus
Authors: Колпакова О. А. , Кучеренко Н. В.
Published: February 2022

One of the important aspects in the development of new drugs is their standardization and comprehensive assessment of quality indicators, which guarantees safety and stability throughout the life cycle of the drug.
Soft drugs for external use with components of natural origin usually require the introduction of preservatives to ensure microbiological stability. Therefore, research on the selection of preservative is a necessary phase in pharmaceutical composition preparation.
Purpose – foundation of the type choice and concentration of an effective preservative (or their combination) for the introduction into the composition of the ointment of anti-scarring activity with a water-soluble protein-polysaccharide complex of the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus.
The object of the study was an original ointment composition based on an emulsion, the active component of which is a water-soluble protein-polysaccharide complex of the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus. To increase microbiological stability, preservatives were added to the samples, which are most common in soft dosage forms (nipagin:nipazol, triclosan, bronopol and benzoic acid). Determination of the sensitivity of ointment samples to microorganisms was performed by the method of diffusion into agar («well method»), as a microbiological model used a common set of test strains of reference cultures of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and fungi.
The study found that sample 7 had demonstrated high antimicrobial properties, where the diameters of the growth retardation zones were 34–35 mm to Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Basillus subtilis ATCC 6633, 29–31 mm for Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Proteus vulgaris ATCC 4636 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. Growth retardation zones were 27–28 mm to fungi Candida albicans ATCC 653/885. Bronopol was introduced into the sample, this preservative should provide the necessary microbiological purity and stability of the prepared ointment.
Studies show that soft dosage forms with substances of natural origin require the administration of antimicrobial agents. It has been experimentally proven that 0.2% bronopol provides effective microbiological stability of the soft dosage form with anti-scarring activity of water-soluble protein-polysaccharide complex of the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus.

Published: January 2022

The article reveals the applying general methods of forensic expertise possibilities in forensic veterinary research. It is emphasized that the forensic veterinary research methods are subject to the following requirements: scientific validity, approbation, the results of their application should be obvious and obvious to all participants in the process, the use of methods and means should not degrade the honor and dignity of citizens, violate moral and ethical principles, maximum preservation of objects.
It is shown that forensic veterinary research methods include the dialectical-materialist method and logic methods, general (cognitive) methods, individual methods (instrumental and auxiliary-technical), as well as special methods, the functions of which are performed by specialized (specific) methods of solving certain expert tasks.
Such systematization, taking into account the affiliation to the general cognition methods of the comprehensive dialectical method and logic methods, is acceptable for any expert research type, including forensic veterinary research.
The research methods choice is greatly influenced by the subject, tasks, examination objects, the method effectiveness degree, which is expressed in its effectiveness, conditional efficiency, acceptability in law terms, complexity, the re-examination possibility, reliability, duration, etc. The scheme and sequence of application of research methods may vary depending on the questions posed to the decision of the forensic veterinary expert, the number and previous the objects submitted for research condition.
The special methods functions of forensic veterinary examination are performed by animal diseases clinical diagnosis and pathomorphological diagnosis methods. They are aimed at solving certain tasks inherent in forensic veterinary examination. Thus, the methods of clinical diagnosis of animal diseases are aimed at making a lifelong forensic veterinary diagnosis of a live subject with signs of injury, disease, injury, as well as determining the severity of damage to animal health and more.
Pathomorphological diagnosis methods are used to make a post-mortem forensic veterinary diagnosis, to determine the damage to animal health severity, to identify violent death signs.
Specifics of Forensic Psychology Analysis of Psychological Abuse
Authors: Aghuzumtsyan Ruben , Shahverdyan Gayane
Published: January 2022

The article discusses issues related to psychological violence and identifying the features of conductingforensic psychological examinations in order to establish the fact of psychological violence. Particular attention is paid to the interpretation of the concepts: psychological violence, psychological impact, psychological pressure, emotional violence, verbal aggression, coercion. The article highlights and describes the characteristic features of forensic psychological examination of psychological abuse victims.
This article purpose is to identify the key features of the forensic psychology examination of psychological abuse victims. The main research content allows us to list the characteristic features of forensic psychology analysis.
In most cases, the issues related to the forensic psychology analysis of violent actions refer to sexual or physical violence or are aimed at explaining the actions of various forms of violence on the human psyche. These circumstances lead to the fact that human psyche begins to play secondary role while performing forensic research. It is for this reason that forensic psychology analysis of psychological abuse in general and its types in particular is referred to as non-traditional types of examination. Various types of violent actions in different ways affect the human psyche and the secondary nature of the examination does not always reveal the essence and results of psychological abuse that unjustifiably narrows the real scope of manifestations of violence in society.
The authors defend the opinion that at this stage it is more correct to conduct a psychological examination aimed specifically at psychological violence and not at the secondary effect of violence on the psyche. In this regard, the article proposes necessary definitions that can be used in the conduct of forensic psychological and forensic linguistic expert research.
Considering importance of conducting examinations to establish existence or lack of the psychological violence fact, it is planned to continue research to develop criteria for assessing results of forensic psychology analysis of psychological abuse.

Published: January 2022

Some issues of application of special knowledge in the course of investigation of crimes related to illegal drug trafficking are considered. Analyzed the scientific literature, regulatory legal acts devoted to the use of special knowledge in the study of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors. The statistical data of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine are presented, indicating a significant increase in the level of drug-related crime in Ukraine. The increase in the number of drug-related crimes entails an increase in the need for the use of special knowledge in their investigation. In the process of applying special knowledge, a number of problematic issues arise that require legislative solutions. The purpose of the article is to identify theoretical and organizational problems arising in the process of applying special knowledge in the investigation of crimes related to drug trafficking.
Attention was drawn to the project “Action — EU: EU Action on Drugs and Organized Crime. Intensive cooperation and capacity building to combat organized drug trafficking along the heroin route. ” Under the auspices of this project, the Ukrainian Working Group for the Study of Psychoactive Substances was formed, one of the main goals of which is to improve the quality of forensic services in Ukraine, and one of the main forms of work is to conduct interlaboratory exercises. The results of participation in an interlaboratory exercise provide an opportunity to either confirm the performance of a particular laboratory, or indicate problems in such a laboratory. For the examination of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors, access to comparative (standard) samples is required, the free receipt of which (or their exchange between institutions) is complicated by many factors.

Published: January 2022

The work of police investigators includes investigation of violent deaths, when there is scarce information on peculiarities of death. The examination of corpse is essential in most of violent death cases; thus, there is a need to correctly evaluate signs on the corpse as soon as they could help investigators obtain important information about a murder. There could be various questions to be answered by forensic medical examiners; one of which is determination of time since death. The study is aimed to present guidelines on choosing the evaluation method for postmortem changes based on forensic medical data, in accordance with condition of the body, features of surroundings and other factors that have to be noted at the place of corpse’s finding. Guidelines are composed in accordance with current legal procedures on forensic medical examinations.

Study of the adaptive potential of fodder shrubs for use in the restoration of degraded semi-desert pasture ecosystems
Authors: Bulahtina Galina
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Purpose. The study is aimed at carrying out an adaptation assessment of arid fodder shrubs for the restoration of degraded pasture ecosystems in the semi-desert zone of southern Russia in the modern conditions of climate aridization. Methods. An assessment is given of the adaptive capabilities, including the field germination of seeds, the response to drought, the yield of fodder shrubs of leafless Calligonum aphyllum, Eurotia ceratoides, and Kochia prostrata in modern climatic conditions on light chestnut soils. Results. The studies were carried out in severe arid climatic conditions (lack of productive moisture in the soil throughout the summer period) on infertile soils (humus content – 0.68–0.74 %). Field germination of seeds was 24.9 (Calligonum aphyllum), 32.6 (Kochia prostrata), 75.6 (Eurotia ceratoides). For the selected shrubs, the best sowing dates were determined – November – January. By the third year of the growing season, the height of the plants was 84–110 cm, which will contribute to the retention of snow in the pasture. All studied fodder shrubs, from May to September, had a yield higher than the natural grass stand of the pasture by 1.8–4.5 times. Scientific novelty. All the shrubs under study showed a high adaptive life potential in the arid semi-desert conditions of the study region, including high drought resistance, low demands on soil fertility and a long growing season (140–270 days), high productivity, which exceeded the natural herbage. The use of these shrubs in the restoration of degraded pastures will not only increase their productivity by 43–79 %, but also the nutritional value in terms of feed units by 1.3 times, in terms of digestible protein – by 1.7 times. All this will make it possible to increase the forage capacity of the restored pastures.
On the unity of the processes of photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation and soil formation
Authors: Ovsyannikov Yu.
Published: January 2022

Abstract. The development of science occurs not only as a result of the accumulation of information about the elementary, specific characteristics of individual phenomena or objects of the world around us, but also as a result of the comprehensive use of the acquired knowledge necessary to understand more complex processes. The purpose was to summarize the results of studies obtained in the study of photosynthesis, soil formation, nitrogen fixation and the formation of new ideas to explain the processes occurring in ecosystems of different levels. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that, based on the analysis of the results of their own research and the work of other authors, it is concluded that photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation and soil formation should be considered within a single system. Results. A block diagram of this system was proposed. The interaction of its individual components was described, which is based on the formation of metabolic flows of organic substances involved in photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation and soil formation. The proposed scheme of interaction of the processes under consideration within a single system will allow, according to the author, to objectively assess and predict the state of individual agroecosystems, biogeocenoses and the biosphere as a whole. The practical significance of the work is that the proposed description of the interaction of photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation and soil formation can be used to justify a new approach to increasing soil fertility based on the activation of excretory functions of plant root systems. The proposed scheme of interaction of the studied processes can be used in the development of mathematical models of behavior of agroecosystems and biogeocenoses of various levels, as well as in the creation of autonomous human habitats. The main research methods are experimental, historical and system analyses, comparisons, simulations, generalizations.
Dairy productivity and reproductive capacity of cows with different methods of maintenance
Authors: Aminova Al'bina
Published: January 2022

Abstract. The conditions of keeping cattle should meet the biological requirements of the animal body as much as possible and contribute to the fullest realization of their genetic potential. In this regard, the study of the influence of housing conditions on the productive qualities and reproductive ability of cows is an actual, scientifically based research area. The aim of the study is a comparative assessment of tethered and non-tethered content in the study of the reproductive capacity and the level of milk productivity of black-and-white cows in the postpartum period. Methods. The results of the work are based on analytical, biometric, statistical methods and the authors ' own research. Results. In their studies, they found that the highest indicators for most parameters of milk productivity were cows with loose content: milk yield – by 1153.3kg (or 18.2 %), milk yield coefficient – by 198.7kg (or 16.4 %), the amount of milk fat – by 2.7kg (or 1.08 %), protein – by 9.7 kg (or 4.9 %) (P > 0.95) more in comparison with cows with tied content. Despite the manifestation of hunting, early insemination does not have any advantages over insemination at a later time, regardless of the methods of maintenance. Cows on the tethered method of keeping, which pass through three normal sexual cycles before insemination, have good fertilization rates (92.1 %). Cows on the loose method of keeping showed the highest percentage of pregnancy (92.7 %) for three months of accounting and more after calving. In general, the use of a complex of bioregulators allows you to get fairly high results of stimulating hunting, regardless of age and conditions of detention, which is an indicator of the activation of the ovarian follicular apparatus and the normalization of the hypothalamic-pituitary system of animals. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the indicators of productivity and effectiveness of insemination of cows at different times after calving and on the number of lactation, depending on the tethered or non-tethered methods of maintenance, are established.

Abstract. Purpose is to study the effect of milk production technology in the SPK “Glinskiy” with the use of robotic milking machines Lely Astronaut, DeLaval and linear milking machine ADM-8A, on the efficiency of milk production. Methods. An analysis of the efficiency of milk production with various technologies of keeping and milking cows was carried out on the basis of materials for accounting for milk productivity obtained for 2016–2019, and also the marketability of milk, the cost per unit of milk and the profitability of milk production during robotic milking and milking in a milk pipeline were determined. Scientific novelty. The analysis of the economic efficiency of milk production in the conditions of one farm is carried out, the differences in the level of milk productivity and milk quality are determined. Calculated: the cost price of 1 kg of milk obtained using the milking machine ADM-8 and automated milking machines Lely and DeLaval, profitability. Results. A large number of factors, both genetic and paratypical, affect the milk production of cows. The main paratypical factor is milk production technology, which includes keeping, feeding and milking livestock. Nowadays, the widespread technology is tethering cows with milking in a long milk pipe in stalls, this technology is considered traditional. She is being replaced by a more productive one – keeping a milking herd without a tether in groups with milking on automatic milking machines (robotic milking). Feeding with these two technologies is organized according to different principles. Our study revealed the influence of milking technology on the efficiency of milk production. As a result of the study, differences in the level of milk productivity and milk quality were determined. Our study revealed a positive effect of milking technology with the help of robotic installations on the efficiency of milk production: milk yield for each lactation increases by 7–28 %, which is confirmed by the lactation constancy index, the content of somatic cells in milk decreases to 2.4 × 105 cells per 1 cm3 providing an increase in the marketability of milk to 97.4%, in terms of physical and chemical indicators, milk of cows, with different methods of keeping, was within the normal range and average values for the herd.

Abstract. The purpose of the scientific study is to clarify the place of Russia in the world trade in sunflower oil in modern conditions and the development trends of Russian exports of this product, to identify the main factors that have a positive and negative impact on exports. To achieve the goal, the following tasks have been set: 1) to analyze trends in the global structure of exports and imports of sunflower oil; 2) assess the impact of the most significant factors in the dynamics of Russian exports; 3) investigate the problems associated with these factors. Statistical, analytical, monographic and graphical methods were used. Correlation-regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing the dynamics of Russian sunflower oil exports. Results. Demand for sunflower oil in many countries is growing steadily, as a result of which the value of its world exports has increased by more than a third in 5 years. Despite the fact that Russia is still significantly inferior to Ukraine in terms of export volumes, its position in this segment has strengthened: the share of Russian sunflower oil in the world market has increased from 14.7 % in 2016 to 18.3 % in 2020. To maintain positive trends, it is necessary to expand the geography of exports in promising areas (the countries of the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia), as well as improve the infrastructure support for exports. The results of the correlation-regression analysis showed that the main influence on the dynamics of Russian exports is provided by the factors of the raw material base. The article studies the obstacles to the growth of acreage and sunflower yields, considers the directions for solving the tasks facing the oil and fat subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex. The novelty of the results lies in assessing the influence of the main factors on the value of Russian exports of sunflower oil and characterizing the complex of problems existing in this context.

Background: Iran is one of the earthquake-prone countries in the world that have experienced earthquakes with a magnitude of more than seven on the Richter scale, which has caused significant financial, human, economic, and social losses in society. In earthquakes where the vital arterial system is severely damaged, the community’s life is threatened and sometimes causes significant damage. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the earthquake on vital arteries and to design a new approach to earthquake crisis management in the classification of vital arteries. Materials and Methods: This study was descriptive applied. The study population consisted of technicians and experts in management and civil engineering in Isfahan Province, Iran. Considering that the study population is 265 people, all of them were studied with the assumption of a confidence interval of 0.95 and an error of 0.05. The study data were collected by a questionnaire. Because of the normality of the data, the data were analyzed with the Pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS software. Results: The results of data analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient test show a significant relationship between the classification of vital arteries based on new structuring with crisis management and its key role in earthquake crisis control. The passive defense was the most important component and the most relevant among effective approaches to managing vital arteries crises. Conclusion: By creating this proposed model of earthquake crisis management, a new classification was made for the system of vital arteries. Also, It provides a proper performance in different situations of before, during, and after social crises. It is also necessary to form a headquarter called the Social Crisis Management Headquarter based on efficient strategies and the necessary implementation and training.
