Effect of a Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitor on Fighting Behavior of Male Crickets Velarifictorus aspersus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) under Different Resource Conditions
Authors: Han Gao-Ya , Zeng Yang , Zhu Dao-Hong
Published: March 2022

The availability of resources can have important effects on the fighting behaviors of insects, but the physiological mechanism that might underlie the effect of resources is unclear. Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous neurotransmitter that is capable of directly diffusing into cells and acting as a messenger. Several studies have reported that NO may be involved in modulating the fighting behavior of insects. In the present study, we investigated the effect of different resources on the fighting behavior of Velarifictorus aspersus Walker male crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), and tested whether this effect is regulated by NO. We found that when a burrow or female was available, the fighting level and fighting duration were significantly greater in males compared with those when no resources were available, thereby suggesting that the presence of a valuable resource motivated male crickets to fight more aggressively. In a novel environment, treatment with an NO synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) significantly increased the fighting level and fighting duration in male crickets, and males treated with L-NAME won more fights against males treated with water. However, when a burrow or female was available, treatment with L-NAME did not affect the fighting level and fighting duration in males, and males treated with L-NAME lost more fights against males treated with water. These results suggest that NO may have different effects on modulating the fighting behavior of male V. aspersus crickets under different resource conditions.

Animal Welfare in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Dingus David , Melon Loli , Farhat Janaan
Published: March 2022

Over the last year, there have been increasing reports of stray, abandoned, and surrendered animals in Ras Al Khaimah and other emirates. This has led to growing complaints from the community to address the issue and the resulting costs and demands on local governments as these animals pose environmental and safety concerns. This is especially challenging as stray and abandoned animals threaten the natural ecosystem and give the environment an unfavorable image, which can negatively impact local businesses and tourism. The stray and abandoned animal population requires human intervention to control; otherwise, the population may grow exponentially, further impacting the environment and increasing costs to the community.

Several strategies can be used to control the stray and abandoned animal population, such as Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs. However, several factors impact the effectiveness of TNR programs, most notably the community’s knowledge and awareness. It is recommended that TNR programs be complemented by other initiatives on raising awareness and educating the public, which can be further supported through collaborations with other stakeholders in the animal welfare sector.
By identifying strategies to support animal welfare and address stray and abandoned animals in Ras Al Khaimah and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in general, this report aims to identify key stakeholders, what is currently being done to support animal welfare – including TNR, and the community’s understanding and awareness around these topics. It begins with a literature review on TNR, followed by an explanation of the methodology used. The findings are presented in three parts: the stakeholder landscape, the community’s feedback, and the perspectives of concerned public sector officials before concluding with a discussion on the challenges and recommending potential next steps to consider.
MEANS OF EXPRESSION OF THE CATEGORY OF PROBABILITY IN MODERN SPANISH AND ITALIAN LANGUAGES
Authors: Grynko L. V. , Nihreieva O. O. , Shuppe L. V.
Published: March 2022

The article is dedicated to the study of the functioning of language means, which in the primary or secondary function are able to express the modality of probability in modern Spanish and Italian languages. We consider the category of probability as a kind of modal category both in terms of logical (epistemic) modality, functional grammar, and from the standpoint of the theory of linguistic communication. Probability as a kind of modality is one of the most common types of modality with a large gradation of semantic meanings - from complete ignorance to complete confidence. The range of language tools that can express this kind of subjective modality in Spanish and Italian seems vast. It is a functional-semantic category that combines different levels of language: modal adverbs, modal verbs, fixed syntactic constructions, forms of such moods as indicativo, subjuntivo, condicional in Spanish and indicativo, congiuntivo, condizionale in Italian, two forms of the future tense in both languages that are able to develop this modal meaning. All of them can interact with each other, reinforcing the studied modal significance. And so it is possible to express various gradation of probability. Due to the functional-semantic approach to the study of this category on the material of different languages, functional-semantic fields with central and peripheral zones were created. The structuring of these fields became possible due to the separation of primary and secondary probability modalities in the studied units. It seems that everything has already been said about this category, but a new round of interest in logical modality, adapting the concept of possible worlds to the category of probability, again raised the question of its content and caused the need to defend the fact that linguistic modality, although based on logical modality, does not identify with it.
SECTOR LINGUISTICS IN THE NOMINATIVE FIELD OF THE COMPLEX CONCEPT WORD / LANGUAGE / SPEECH
Authors: Smaglii V. M.
Published: March 2022

The article is dedicated to the study of the complex concept WORD / LANGUAGE / SPEECH and its medial zone in the naïve picture of the world within a framework of a new scientific direction – dual linguistics: scientific and naive interpretation of language in the English lexicography. The complex concept WORD / LANGUAGE / SPEECH, which is verbalized by nominative units extracted from English general lexicographic sources, is considered. The nuclear zone of the naïve picture of the world counts three lexemes (which together contain 42 sememes), among which 161 semes have been filtered by means of seme analysis method. The most common semanteme, present in all nuclear lexemes, is the idea of the bilateral nature of any communicative unit. All of the nuclear zone lexemes in the primary dictionary position contain the seme, which emphasizes the unity of content and form of the phenomena under consideration. The medial zone of the nominative field of the verbalized WORD / LANGUAGE / SPEECH complex concept is many times bigger and more variable in comparison with the nuclear zone. It includes more than 700 lexical units with semantic components language, speech, communication. According to the thematic principle, the collected material was divided into 6 sectors: communication; units of language, speech; discourse, text; phonetical, grammatical and stylistic phenomena; language / dialect / slang, speaker; linguistics. The analysis of the relevant part of the sample made it possible to understand how the average native English speaker, without being an expert in the field of linguistics, represents a holistic system of language learning and individual components of this system. Dictionaries clearly differentiate between two branches of human language: linguistics, which is the scientific study of language structure, grammar, syntax, and phonetics, and philology, which is the field of scientific knowledge about the structure, historical development, and connections of language to other languages.
CONCEPT A WORK OF GENIUS IN THE WORLD VIEW OF THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING SOCIETY
Authors: Strochenko L. V.
Published: March 2022

The article is dedicated to the investigation of the verbalization of the concept A WORK OF GENIUS in the world view of the English-speaking society. The study is based on general explanatory dictionaries of the English language, specialized dictionaries and encyclopedias, English artistic, publicist and scientific texts, as well as the British National Corpus. The English conceptual field GENIUS consists of three segments connected by a cyclic relationship. Each of these segments is denoted by a corresponding nuclear concept: GENIUS as a phenomenon, GENIUS as a person, and A WORK OF GENIUS. The ontological cycle consists of the following three parts: 1) a person endowed with 2) the gift of genius creates 3) a masterpiece that is recognized as a work of genius (in art or science), and this gives its creator the status of a genius. The nuclear components of the structure of the given concept are almost identical in both versions of the world view, which indicates the stability and universality of the key characteristics of the phenomenon of genius in the picture of the world of English-speaking society. The nuclear components reflect extraordinary mental and creative abilities of a genius and originality of his work. At the same time, the naive picture of the world demonstrates the existence of a rather voluminous periphery in the structure of the corresponding concepts, in which evaluative and often opposite in content features predominate. The relatively small amount of peripheral features of all nuclear concepts in the scientific picture of the world is accounted for by the fact that in scientific discourse the most frequent conceptual features are nuclear components. We see the prospect of the research in the possibility of further studies of geniuses in the paradigm of linguopersonology, contrastive linguistics and psycholinguistics.
ENGLISH MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY: FUNCTIONAL ASPECT
Authors: Tkhor N. M.
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to the study of English medical terminology, namely – its functional aspect. Terminology plays a significant role in people's professional communication, as it serves as a source of obtaining, transmitting scientific information and as a tool for mastering the specialty. Terminology is part of the scientific apparatus, which makes it possible to learn the laws of the research process, to identify channels of interaction with other elements of a particular field of science. At the present stage, one of the main tasks of linguistics is the stratification of the vocabulary of a particular language by various parameters, in particular, by the scope of use of a particular lexical unit. The material of this study were terms and terminological phrases that denote the main medical concepts, selected by a method of selection from scientific articles relating to various subject areas of medicine, dictionaries, Internet sites dedicated to medicine. The studied material is considered by us from the standpoint of system-functional approach, which involves the study of language in general and the language of scientific style of presentation in particular as a complex formation, which highlights the components and relationships between them. The ways of forming new terms can be divided into the following groups: 1. morphological way of word formation – derivation, abbreviation; 2. syntactic, through the formation of phrases and phrases from several words; 3. semantic – narrowing of the meaning of commonly used words; metaphorical and metonymic transfer of the former meaning; 4. borrowing words from other languages. The most productive way to form medical terms is derivation. The research conducted on the basis of English medical terminology is the first stage of the study of the relationship between cognitive structures of consciousness and semantics of the term, between the worldview of the English speaker (medical specialist) and the structure of general and specialized dictionaries and texts.
Concept "PARTNER" in the russian media discourse
Authors: Dyba Anna
Published: March 2022

The article describes the features of the three-level actualization of concept PARTNER in Russian-Ukrainian relations on a material of Russian media texts. On a system-language level the idea of partnership is considered, on the basis of data of lexicographical sources. With this information it became possible to determine whether the value is equivalent to the borrowed word "partner" to its source. Research associative-verbal level of actualization of the concept PARTNER enabled us using associative dictionaries to determine to what extent the implemented components of its meaning in the Russian language consciousness. Finally, at the text level concept updating specific cases we investigated its use in speech. The material for this are the data of the National Corps of the Russian language. In addition, the article highlighted various kinds of partnerships, characteristic for the Russian mediadiscourse.Analysis of the three levels of actualization of the concept PARTNER allows us to draw the following conclusions: first, the appeal to the concept of partnership in the texts of the Russian media is characteristic of the official business style of political issues, it means institutional discourse. In everyday discourse, this nomination is "replaced" by other lexemes — friends, neighbours, colleagues, and others. Secondly, in the Russian mass media discourse, Russian-Ukrainian relations are presented as: 1) strategic partnership; 2) trade and economic partnership; 3) opposition of partnership of strong/weak, reliable/unreliable, equal/unequal. Finally, the components of the meaning of the lexeme "partner" in the Russian language and linguistic consciousness are not fully realized and are not equivalent to the original source.
The concept of «glocalization» and the main modern trends of linguоcultural space
Authors: Nikolaienko Hanna
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the main processes of linguocultural space. Methods of conceptual analysis, comparative analysis, synthesis were used for the study. In nowadays culture, there are pretty many linguocultural trends at the intersection of conflict processes that require correct understanding and identifying the connection between global and local phenomena. The concept of glocalization (R. Robetson) is intended to reveal this relationship. The use of the concept of glocalization in studies of modern linguistic trends, according to the author, warns against the risk of speculative generalizations and overestimation of the processes of assimilation, homogenization and universalization of language.
Modern trends of linguocultural space include universalization, gibritization, democratization, infantilization, decrease in the speech standard of public communication , simplification of the sentence structure, transformation of linguistic gender markers. Also problem of the influence of borrowed linguistic components was determined and analyzed (anglicisms in language). Special attention was paid to internet communication. Public e space has its own linguistic peculiarities and trends (internet slang, internet mems, imitation of human language by bots in virtual environment).
RECIPE OF CREATIVITY BY LEV TOLSTOY IN THE RUSSIAN PHILOSOPHY OF THE LATE XIX - BEGINNING OF THE XX CENTURY
Authors: Sumchenko Irina
Published: March 2022

This article presents an analysis the philosophical and religious views of the outstanding Russian writer Lev Tolstoy and examines the influence of his work on the philosophy of the Silver Age. The ambiguity and inconsistency of many ideas of Tolstoy’s legacy is emphasized. The features of Tolstoy’s understanding of the meaning of life and the purpose of man, faith and reason, the nature of good and evil, love, non-violence and violence are considered.The interpretation and attitude to the fundamental Tolstoy’s ideas on the part of D. Merezhkovsky, V. Solovyov, N. Berdyaev, L. Shestov, S. Frank, I. Ilyin, highlighted the general and distinctive in the assessment of the philosophical concept of Tolstoy.In general, positively assessing the writer’s artistic heritage and the high moral bar of his moral teaching, Russian thinkers criticized his religious and philosophical pursuits for inconsistency, excessive rationalization and contradiction, in particular, they assessed Tolstoy’s metaphysics of evil and his idea of non-resistance. Also, the representatives of the philosophy of the Silver Age were not satisfied with Tolstoy’s interpretation of Christian doctrine, which they considered erroneous.Tolstoy’s creativity became the foundation and starting point for further research into the philosophy of the Silver Age, because the range of problems that was considered by Tolstoy was the reason for such currents and trends such as «search for God», «new idealism», «new religious consciousness», etc.
Héctor Domínguez Ruvalcaba, Periplo de los lechos / fábula retroviral. México: Ediciones Desliz, 2015, ISBN: 978-607-96219-7-1
Authors: Hernández Cabrera Porfirio Miguel
Published: March 2022

Periplo de los lechos / fábula retroviral -del poeta, narrador y profesor investigador en la Universidad de Texas en Austin, Héctor Domínguez Ruvalcaba (Hermosillo, Sonora, 1962)- es el segundo poemario mexicano en poetizar íntegramente la relación entre el homoerotismo y el VIH/sida; el primero fue Poesida (1996), del poeta y dramaturgo mexicano Abigael Bohórquez (Caborca, Sonora, 12 de marzo de 1936-Hermosillo, Sonora, 27 de noviembre de 1995).

 Periplo de los lechos / fábula retroviral es un poemario dividido en tres partes, cada una de las cuales contiene treinta y ocho, veintiún y veintiún breves poemas de verso libre, respectivamente. En la primera parte, el poeta hermosillense canta las delicias del homoerotismo; la segunda está dedicada a la vivencia homoerótica del VIH/sida; y la tercera al exorcismo poético de los demonios atrayentes del suicidio.

Los poemas de Domínguez Ruvalcaba abordan libre y abiertamente la fuerza deseante del homoerotismo en los hombres sexualmente diversos y disidentes. Además, reflejan las experiencias físicas y subjetivas de la convivencia con el VIH y, en ese sentido, el sufrimiento implícito en tales experiencias de la seropositividad. Así, el homoerotismo, la convivencia con el VIH y el sufrimiento son tres temas que dan pie a la regocijante y angustiante, a la vez, expresión artística del autor y, en su poemario, cobran legitimidad literaria y social como partes de la diversidad de la condición humana.

Published: March 2022

Aim: Chest computed tomography (CT) plays an important role in the diagnosis of coronavirus infection disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test but with clinical findings. The aim of this study; to determine whether the disease can predict clinical severity and/or mortality with CO-RADS and/or CTSS in intensive care COVID-19 patients.

Materials and Methods: In the study retrospectively, COVID-19 intensive care patients with PCR positive and chest CT between 23 March - 31 December 2020 were included. CTs were evaluated by two independent radiologists without providing the clinical information of the patients. CO-RADS and CTSS were calculated for each CT, and pathological features were recorded. Demographic, clinical characteristics and mortality rates of the patients were recorded. Patients were divided into three groups [mild (nasal/mask oxygen), severe (noninvasive mechanichal ventilator (NIMV) or high flow nasal oxygen (HFO)), critically severe (invasive mechanichal ventilation (IMV))] according to the clinical severity of COVID-19. Mortality and clinical severity markers were determined by logistic regression analysis.

Results: Four hundered seventy three patients were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups according to clinical severity, mild (34.7%), severe (11.8%), and critically severe (53.5%). The mean CTSS of all patients was 19.58 and the rate of patients in the CO-RADS 5 group was 50.7%. The mortality rate was 41.2%. APACHE II score and CTSS were preductors of clinical severity; age, female gender and CO-RADS were found as mortality preductors. The CO-RADS cut-off value predicting mortality was 5. Ground glass appearance was the most common pathological finding with a rate of 84.4%. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn for mortality markers CO-RADS and APACHE II, and the area under the curve (AUC) values were 0.580 and 0.881, respectively. AUC was found to be 0.697 in the ROC curve drawn for CTSS, which is a clinical indicator of severity. The mortality cut-off value was found to be 16.5 with 77% sensitivity and 79% specificity for the APACHE II score (LR:3.7). The clinical severity cut-off value was found to be 18.5, with 61% sensitivity and 66% specificity for the CTSS.

Conclusion: CO-RADS can be used to predict mortality and CTSS can be used to predict clinical severity which are radiological-based scoring systems.
Outcomes of Paediatric Distal Radius Metaphyseal Fractures
Authors: Boshomane Tlou , Simmons Dina , Robertson Anthony
Published: March 2022

Background: Manipulation and cast immobilisation is the accepted gold standard for management of distal radius metaphyseal fractures in children, with the use of Kirschner wires (K-wires) in cases with potential instability. The primary aim of this study was to determine the outcome of these fractures treated with our current management protocol. We also sought to identify possible risk factors for redisplacement.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 61 children with displaced distal radius metaphyseal fractures under the age of 16 years. Fifty-three patients were treated with manipulation and casting only, while eight patients had K-wire fixation. The primary outcome measured was redisplacement during follow-up. Initial complete displacement, an associated ulna fracture, the quality of reduction, cast and padding indices were assessed as possible risk factors for redisplacement.

Results: A redisplacement rate of 18.8% was reported. We found a statistically significant association between redisplacement and non-anatomical reduction (P = 0.001), cast index (P = 0.030) and padding index (P = 0.031). Non-anatomical reduction resulted in 23.6 times more likelihood of redisplacement (P = 0.008) compared to anatomical reduction. Complete displacement and the presence of an ulna fracture had no effect on redisplacement.

Conclusions: Our current treatment protocol is safe and effective based on the redisplacement rate of 18.8% which is marginally lower than current standards reported in the literature. Poor casting technique and non-anatomical reduction were found to be significant predictors of redisplacement. We suggest that K-wires be used if anatomical reduction is not achieved in older children with limited remodelling capacity.

Se desarrolló una metodología de secado para Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis, empleando horno de microondas doméstico (HMO), consistente de pulsos de radiación y períodos de enfriamiento, que consume 92% menos energía y 58% menos tiempo. Las propiedades físicas y mecánicas se midieron en condición seca al HMO, equilibrio higroscópico (EH) y secado convencional, ρverde: 1049 ± 74 kg/m3 (CH: 107 ± 18 %), ρsecaHMO: 555 ± 63 kg/m3, ρEH: 565 ± 51 kg/m3 (CH: 11,3 ± 0,8 %), Vverde: 58 ± 1 x10-6 m3 y VHMO: 51 ± 26 x 10-6 m3 y contracción volumétrica: 11 ± 3 %, no presentando diferencias significativas con respecto al secado convencional. Los valores de la compresión paralela al grano fueron: ELPHMO: 6 ± 2 x 106 kg/m2, MRHMO: 6 ± 2 x 106 kg/m2 y MOEHMO: 4 ± 1 x 108 kg/m2, ELPEH: 3,0 ± 0,5 kg/m2, MREH: 3,5 ± 0,64 kg/m2 y MOEEH: 2,3 ± 0,6 kg/m2; tampoco mostraron diferencias con respecto al secado convencional. La única alteración anatómica observada fue un aumento de agrietamientos espiralados en las paredes de las traqueidas y no parece tener repercusión sobre las propiedades evaluadas. Se concluyó que la exposición al microondas no altera las propiedades estudiadas siendo un método confiable de secado.

The aim of the research. To carry out a comparative analysis of registration of primary and overall incidence of gonarthritis (GA) and the factors affecting these indices in clinics of Arkhangelsk. Material and methods. Th e population of Arkhangelsk is attached to fi ve main polyclinics: No. 1, 2, 4 (AGKP1, AGKP2, AGKP4), the first city clinical hospital named aft er E. E. Volosevich (PGKB1) and the Primorsky Central district hospital (PPRCRB) together serving 74.7 % of the population. We formed a continuous sample based on the medical service utilisation rate in the attached population for gonarthritis patients within the period from 2016 to 2019. Th e analysed parameters were: gender, age, acute or chronic form of the disease, diagnosis according to ICD-10 and the specialist visited by the patient. The features in registration of GA at the level of primary healthcare institutions and their effect on primary and overall incidence were analysed. Results. In four years, a total of 3,282 of primary GA patients were registered in the fi ve clinics, the mean age was 55.9 years, female patients accounted to 1,952 (59 %), male patients – to 1,329 (41 %). The average annual levels of primary GA incidence per 1000 population ranged from 0.98 to 1.38, with the maximum of 3.05 registered in PGCB1. The overall incidence of GA per 1000 population in polyclinics 1, 2 and 4 was 26.2-27.4, with the values of 15.6 and 4.5 for PGKB 1 and PPRCRB, respectively. Patients over 60 years of age predominated in PGKB1 (48 %), amounting to 41 % in AGKP1, 27 % in AGKP2, 33 % in AGKP4, 32 % in PPRCRB. Maximal prevalence was 105 cases per 1000 population (1 % of the attached population) by 45 years in AGCP1, in other polyclinics the indicator was lower. More oft en, GA was diagnosed by general practitioners – 2296 (71 %), traumatologists and surgeons – 647 (20 %), rheumatologists – 302 (9 %). Th e most common diagnoses were M17.9-966 (30 %), M17.0 10 939 (29 %), less oft en: M17.2 – 66 (2 %) and M17.4 – 75 (2 %). Conclusion. Th ere is no unifi ed system of primary and general morbidity registration at the level of primary healthcare institutions within the same region. To objectify GA registration, it is necessary to introduce a single registry of patients.

Exponential increase in the fouling of surface water bodies through discharge of untreated domestic and industrial effluents and direct defecation is posing a big treat to surface water quality. This study was aimed at determining the population of pathogenic bacteria in the selected surface water during dry and wet seasons with a view to determine their level of antimicrobial resistance and susceptibility. Water samples were collected from three tributes of the New Calabar River along Ogbogoro, Rumuolumeni and Mgbuodohia which are located in the Niger Delta region of southern Nigeria. The samples were collected during dry and wet season. The sampling locations for each of the tributaries were near dredging site, near human waste disposal site and 300 meters away from the river bank destinated as general point. Bacteria isolation was carried out using standard spread plate method. Isolates were identified based on the morphology, biochemical/molecular characterization of the isolates. The isolates were subjected to antimicrobial testing using the disk diffusion method. Bacterial isolates from the three tributes were identified to belong to the following genera: Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Bacillus, Vibrio, Klebsilla, Pseudomonas, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Shigella, Salmonella, Serratia, Chromobacterium and Escherichia coli. E.coli had the highest occurrence in the three water sources followed by Staphylococcus aureus. Antimicrobial susceptibility test for E.coli, Salmonella, Shigella and Vibrio cholera isolates was performed using twelve commonly prescribed antibiotics: Amoxicilin Clavulanete (30µg), Cefotaxine (25µg), Imipenem/Cilastatin (10/10µg), Ofloxacin (5µg), Gentamycin (10µg), Nalidixic Acid (30µg), Ampiclox (10µg), Cefexime (5µg), Levofloxacin (5µg), Nitrofurantoin (300µg), Cefuroxime (30µg) and Ceftriaxone Sulbactam (45µg). The antibiogram showed 100% susceptibility of all the tested isolates from the three water bodies to Ofloxacin and Levofloxacin. E.coli isolates recorded 100% resistance to Cefuroxime, Cefotaxime, Nitrofurantoin and Ampicolx. Salmonella isolates recorded 100% resistance to Augmentin and Ampiclox. Shigella isolates recorded 100% resistance to Augmentin, Nitrofurantoin and Ampiclox. Vibrio cholerae isolates recorded 100% resistance to Cefotaxime, Nalidixic acid and Nitrofurantoin. The result showed that susceptibility of the bacterial isolates tested was generally less for the older and more widely used antibiotics. It is concluded that Ofloxacin and Levofloxacin can be the antibiotics of choice in the treatment of infections caused by these bacteria.

Improvement of power transformer differential protection through detection and exploitation of the negative sequence currents
Authors: Zitouni M.
Published: March 2022

Introduction. Power transformers are the most important and the most expensive equipment used in transport and distribution of electrical energy. Their failure results in huge economic losses. Despite the great advances in the design of power equipment in recent years, the feeble link in the chain remains the insulation weakness of coil turns of the power transformer. The novelty of the proposed research consists in the development of a new procedure for diagnosing and localizing the occurrence of turn to turn short-circuits in the windings of three-phase power transformer. The main problems of the current differential relay are short circuits of one or more turns of a transformer winding. Hence a new approach using' the amplitude comparison between the negative sequence currents' is developed and a digital discriminator internal / external fault is applied to discriminate turn to turn faults among the other ones. The proposed procedure is based on the exploitation of the negative sequence currents. The purpose of using this new procedure is to identify small faults inside power transformer coils and to distinguish inner faults from the outer faults by using an ameliorate circuit. The method used in this paper is a novel algorithm which based on the comparison between the negative sequence current amplitudes and to calculate the corresponding phase angle shifts. The performance of the proposed procedure has been confirmed by MATLAB/Simulink environment. The results of simulation reveal the efficiency of the suggested procedure, and indicate that this procedure can provide fast and sensitive approach for detecting low level turn-to-turn faults.
