MICAL2 ﬁne-tunes Arp2/3 for actin branching
Authors: Olson Michael , Machesky Laura M.
Published: January 2023

The ARP2/3 complex promotes branched actin networks, but the importance of specific subunit isoforms is unclear. In this issue, Galloni, Carra, et al. (2021. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202102043) show that MICAL2 mediates methionine oxidation of ARP3B, thus destabilizing ARP2/3 complexes and leading to disassembly of branched actin filaments.

Remittances are an important source of development finance, particularly in recent years, due also to increased migration flows at the global level. The recent COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a sudden drop in remittances, and an alarming aspect of the pandemic was that it particularly affected female migrants. Despite the importance of gender for remittance sending and usage, research about international migration and remittances insufficiently considers its role. Against this backdrop, this paper aims to partially fill this gap in the relevant literature by trying to address the following important questions: (1) In what ways is gender important in understanding the sending and the usage of remittances?; and (2) what is the relationship between gender, COVID-19, and pandemic-induced remittance reductions? In doing so, the paper provides an overview of the (limited) literature on the vast influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on female migrants. It also assesses whether gender has influenced the extent to which remittance inflows decreased as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic by conducting a preliminary empirical analysis based on some recent data (albeit limited) on the above nexus. The paper contributes to the relevant literature in multiple ways. First, the detailed discussion of the influence of gender on remittances and the impact of COVID-19 on female migrants has revealed important aspects of the overall relationship that can stimulate further research on these topics and also raises important policy questions for policymakers. Second, preliminary findings of a possible negative correlation between COVID-19-induced changes in remittances and female emigration rates provide some further insights into the above nexus. Finally, the paper raises important concerns about female migrants’ well-being during the pandemic and calls for further empirical research.

This article analyzes multiple interpretations of the concept of "mentality" and its structure. The peculiarities of the psychology of the Ukrainian people are studied/analyzed, and the main features of it are highlighted. The factors influencing the identity of modern Ukrainians are the living environment, geopolitical influences, relations with other peoples, history and historical conditions of the nation's development, church, and the religion. The manifestations of the psychology of the Ukrainian people hinder the effective socio-economic development of the country when interfacing the globalization. This article analyzes the consequences of the destructive influence of the repressive Soviet regime on the national culture and social consciousness of the Ukrainian people. Attention is focused on the need to cultivate behavioural characteristics of the people aiming at the implementation of an effective complex solutions, which tend to contribute to increasing the competitiveness and success of the State. A conclusion is made about the negative impact on the national psyche of the long-term absence of their own State in global domains.
Immediate and Future-Oriented Tactics of Syrian Students in Istanbul as an Integrational Bridge between the Past and Future
Authors: Karamese Seyma
Published: January 2023

This study mainly analyses the power relations between native Turks and Syrian students in the public spaces of Turkey. The bulk of the literature sees migrants as passive victims who face exclusion and discrimination. However, this research not only sees migrants as active agents in power relations, but also examines both present and future constructions of migrants. Drawing on in-depth interviews and participant observation of 30 Syrian students in Istanbul, I show how these students produce immediate and future-oriented tactics. While immediate tactics exist to provide temporary protection in daily relations, the migrants also have long-term solutions for the future with their “make a difference” capacity based on the resources they have. In this regard, “future-oriented tactics” not only protect against discrimination but also offer a means of long-term integration into society. This is an important contribution to migration studies in terms of power relations.

Published: January 2023

Inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Vanda roxburghii R. Br. is used as folk medicine in the treatment of various ailments and diseases including inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis and neurological disorders. We reported earlier that the plant possesses anti-inflammatory activity and the activity is high in the chloroform fraction among other fractions tested. Therefore, the present work was designed to isolate the compounds from the chloroform fraction responsible for anti-inflammatory activity. Four compounds namely syringaldehyde (1), vanillin (2), dihydroconiferyl dihydro-p-coumarate and (3) and gigantol (4) were isolated and purified using chromatographic methods. The isolated compounds were identified by analysis of their NMR spectral data. The compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced hind paw edema model in mice. All the compounds showed significant activity at a dose of 100 mg/kg. Among the compounds, gigantol displayed the highest activity which was comparable to the activity of the standard drug indomethacin. At the same dose the other three compounds syringaldehyde, vanillin and dihydroconiferyl dihydro-p-coumarate exhibited similar activity. These results suggest that the isolated compounds from the chloroform fraction have potential anti-inflammatory activity that might be useful in the prevention and treatment of AD.

Published: January 2023

The research was designated to investigate the polyphenolic contents and antioxidant activity of the aqueous ethanolic extract and various fractions from the plant Lippia alba (Mill.) (Family: Verbenaceae). The dried course powder was extracted with 5% aqueous ethanol to get ethanolic extract (LAE) that was partitioned successively with n-hexane (LAH), chloroform (LAC), ethyl acetate (LAA), and water (LAQ). All the extracts were tested for polyphenol contents and antioxidant activity. The phenolic contents and the flavonoid contents of LAE, LAH, LAC, LAA, and LAQ were found to be 97.463±0.36, 55.030±0.690, 91.343±0.120, 117.340±1.349 and 81.630±0.550 and 418.470±4.962, 583.847±2.274, 168.623±1.186, 161.970±1.793 and 392.257±4.856 mg of GAE/g of dried extractives, respectively. The data showed that LAA contained highest phenolics and LAH contains highest flavonoids content than that of other fractions. The flavonol contents and the proanthocyanidin contents of LAE, LAH, LAC, LAA, LAQ and standard (at 100 μg/ml each) were 0.611±0.01, 0.144±0.031, 1.938±0.023, 1.944±0.049, 0.385±0.007 and 0.984±0.025 and 0.087±0.005, 0.155±0.004, 0.068±0.002, 0.049±0.002, 0.056±0.003 and 1.533±0.044, respectively, indicating remarkable flavonoid contents of LAC and LAA when compare to standard. However, proanthocyanidin contents of the extractives are less than standard catechin. In total antioxidant activity and reducing power capacity assay LAE, LAH, LAC, LAA, LAQ and standard showed absorbance at 0.667±0.005, 0.753±0.046, 0.444±0.009, 0.409±0.005, 0.235±0.007 and 1.534±0.38 and 1.633±0.055, 0.258±0.033, 3.839±0.051, 2.301±0.004, 0.360±0.042, and 1.046±0.053, respectively. The results demonstrated that all the extractives of L. alba had appreciable antioxidant activity when compared to standard. In DPPH radical scavenging assay and hydroxyl radical scavenging assay, the IC50 of LAE, LAH, LAC, LAA, LAQ and standard were found to be 15.73±0.51, 58.90±1.86, 15.93±1.24, 3.84±0.18, 7.17±0.36 and 3.48±0.17 μg/ml and 10.95±0.560, 13.25±0.56, 11.69±0.69, 5.68±0.408, 6.36±0.581 and 6.50±0.271 μg/ml, respectively. The significant scavenging activity was found in LAA that was similar to standard BHT and catechin. All these observations demonstrated that the plant L. alba specially chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions might be a good source for antioxidative lead.

In response to COVID-19 emergency outbreak, several countries took unprecedented measures and lockdown was implemented worldwide to minimize the drastic consequences. To reduce the damage, collaboration and acquiescence of people is needed to limit the spread of the virus. This study attempted to assess the knowledge, attitudes and precautions taken against COVID-19 among the Bangladeshi people. An online survey was carried out between 12th April and 4th May, 2020 using a snowball sampling technique in which 424 Bangladeshi residents participated. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, fisher’s exact test, one-way ANOVA, binary logistic regression, t-tests have been carried out. Most of the participants were concerned about the risk of COVID-19 as more than 80% people took 14 out of 18 precautions to avoid COVID-19. The attitudes toward COVID-19 showed people’s willingness to follow government guidelines on isolation (96.7%) and quarantine (97.6%). The overall mean knowledge score was 3.11 out of 4. According to the independent sample t-test, age distribution was significantly (p<0.05) associated with knowledge level of the participants. Overall participants had a good understanding of the COVID-19 and a positive attitude towards preventive measures. The basic knowledge on COVID-19 among the people is acceptable which indicates that the timely dissemination of the information by the government of Bangladesh had a positive impact on people’s behavior.

The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of self-medication practice and associated risk factors among riverine-island’s people in Sirajganj, Bangladesh. This study was done by following cross-sectional method with close-ended questionnaire. Data were collected from a total of 459 respondents via face-to-face interview. Frequency analysis was done to identify the prevalence of selfmedication practice, and chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were conducted for identifying the associated factors with self-medication practice. Total 83% participants were self-medicated. Notably, 62% people were self-medicated with antibiotics. More than 30% people practiced with selfmedication due to high cost of doctor consultation. Age, gender, marital status, educational status, occupation, monthly family income, and suffering from illness were correlated with self-medication practice in chi-square (χ2) analysis. Gender (male vs. female, odds ratio [OR]: 0.49, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.25-0.95, p=0.031) and marital status (married vs. unmarried, OR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.23- 0.83, p=0.011) were significantly associated with self-medication practice in logistic regression analysis. The rate at which persons living on riverine islands engage in self-medication is alarmingly high, and the consequence of this behavior is concerning. The inappropriate use of antibiotics is a source of concern. In order to reduce the practice of self-medication among people living on riverine islands in Sirajganj, Bangladesh, there is an immediate need to raise public awareness about the harmful effects of the practice as well as to implement appropriate legislation and activities.

A yearlong scientific study was conducted using direct field observation technique from November 2020 to October 2021 to investigate community structure, habitat preference, and conservation concerns of birds in the urban setting of Faridpur Sadar Upazila. A total of 168 species under 18 orders and 56 families were recorded and 6,551 individual of birds were counted. The order Passeriformes had the highest species richness (71 species, 42.26%) and abundance (n=3,831, 58.48%). Among the bird species, 48 species (29.58%) were migratory and the rest were resident. During the winter season, the highest number of bird species (156 species, 92.85%) and individuals (n= 2,960, 45.18%) were observed. The overall comparison of species richness and abundance for three seasons were significant. Pair-wise one-way ANOVA for species richness and abundance of birds shows significant differences between winter-rainy and summer-winter seasons.The diversity index showed the highest value in winter season. Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) test showed a significant difference in birds communities among three-season. Among the 10 types of microhabitats surveyed, trees were the most used by the bird species (103 species, 61.31%) The highest 69 species (41.07%) were very common according to the observation status. The most abundant bird was Pycnonotus cafer with the highest relative abundance (5.15%). Bird hunting, trade, and habitat loss were the major threats for the survival of bird community in this area. Therefore, immediate initiatives are needed to implement for the conservation of bird and their habitats.

En el caso de la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad del Azuay hemos optado por prevalecer el componente técnico, creemos imprescindible el que nuestros estudiantes posean herramientas que partiendo de lo lógico y con el conocimiento de los sistemas constructivos principalmente locales, lleguen a procesos de síntesis a través del proyecto arquitectónico; a pesar de ello, luego de cinco años de ejercicios e inclusive con reconocimientos de nuestros estudiantes en eventos académicos, sentimos que el Taller de Proyectos requiere de un esfuerzo metodológico adicional, con el fin de acercarnos a procesos reales de planificación.En este punto, el término “real” se debe leer desde dos ópticas: por un lado nos interesa separarnos de la idea del arquitecto “artista” que ejercita su creatividad con fines especulativos, con esto no queremos decir que ni el arte, ni la creatividad, ni la especulación no sean necesarias en la producción de la arquitectura, sino que no creemos que sean un fin mismo. Por otro lado, lo real también implica entender que los procesos de diseño tampoco son un ejercicio bidireccional entre lo que produce el estudiante y lo que piensa el profesor.Nos interesa especialmente recalcar que la educación y sobre todo la arquitectura son hechos colectivos, esto constituye, de cierta forma, la base conceptual y metodológica del Taller Vertical. 50 páginas ISBN: 978-9942-778-30-7 e-ISBN: 978-9942-778-31-4

Sintonización Adaptativa del Estabilizador de Sistema de Potencia mediante Árboles de Decisión y Optimización Heurística
Authors: Oscullo José Antonio , Cepeda Jaime Cristóbal
Published: February 2023

Este artículo presenta un enfoque novedoso para amortiguar de forma adaptativa las oscilaciones de baja frecuencia mediante un clasificador de árboles de decisión que utilizan como entradas las señales de frecuencia y potencia de las barras de generación sensadas por el sistema de monitoreo de área amplia (WAMS). El ajuste adaptativo de los estabilizadores de sistemas de potencia (PSS) convencionales (p.ej., PSS1A, PSS2A, PSS2B), que se encuentran disponibles en el sistema, se realiza al modificar los parámetros óptimos de sintonización del PSS, mediante el análisis de los modos críticos de los escenarios operativos utilizando el algoritmo de optimización heurística de mapeo media- varianza (MVMO). Estos parámetros por escenario pueden ser seleccionados mediante un clasificador inteligente basado en árboles de decisión con el objetivo de adaptar la sintonización del PSS a las condiciones de operación. Dicho proceso se implementa en PowerFactory de DIgSILENT mediante la herramienta de análisis modal, se determinan los modos críticos, para el caso de simulación. Mientras en tiempo real, los modos críticos son obtenidos por medio del algoritmo de identificación modal establecido con la matriz Pencil de las señales WAMS. La metodología planteada se aplica al sistema New York-New England de 66-Barras, obteniéndose la mejor respuesta dinámica del sistema con los PSS adaptativos a las diferentes condiciones operativas del sistema. Además, se compara la respuesta con el PSS4B que se caracteriza por monitorear varias frecuencias de los modos de oscilación presentes en la operación del sistema y así presentar los beneficios a la contribución propuesta.

Pada artikel ini akan membahas lebih jauh tentang bagaimana dan apa yang dapat menjadi solusi dari pandemi covid -19 pun juga masih sangat gamang untuk diketahui, dikarenakan kondisi dan fenomena yang terjadi sekarang ini yang walaupun sudah dapat terprediksi oleh para ahli, masih akan tetap sulit untuk dikendalikan. Sosialisasi atau pemberian informasi tentang covid – 19 merupakan salah satu hal yang sangat vital yang harus diketahui oleh pemerintah Indonesia, dikarenakan hal ini merupakan upaya pencegahan paling awal yang dapat dilakukan agar masyarakat Indonesia memahami bagaimana harusnya yang mereka dapat lakukan dalam hidup berdampingan dengan covid. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah membentuk juru bicara khusus dalam rangka menjalin relasi melalui komunikasi dengan masyarakat dalam penyampaian isu – isu covid - 19,  hal ini juga menunjukkan pentingnya posisi langkah awal tersebut terhadap bagaimana implikasi covid – 19 bagi Indonesia kedepannya. Dalam hal ini, pemerintah tentunya membutuhkan media atau perantara antara pihak pemberi informasi yaitu pemerintah itu sendiri, terhadap pihak penerima informasi atau yang dalam hal ini adalah masyarakat. Disinilah media massa berperan dengan cukup besar terhadap proses relasi ini. Mengingat bagaimana media massa hingga sekarang merupakan salah satu sumber dalam mencari atau mendapatkan informasi bagi masyarakat. Namun, apakah pemanfaatan dan pemakaian dari media sudah baik? Terutama dalam bagaimana masyarakat yang dianggap sebagai “ goals “ atau tujuan dari proses komunikasi dalam penyampaian sosialisai tersebut, menerima dan memproses informasi atau pesan yang didapat melalui media yang ada atau yang biasa disebut sebagai literasi media.

The moral crisis is no longer a simple case but has serious consequences for the students, meanwhile to build a developed country it is necessary to have a young generation with noble character and character. This personality case can be seen from the existence of student brawls, juvenile delinquency, crime among young people, and so on. The phenomenon that occurs in several areas in South Barito Regency proves that this character education crisis also occurs in the region where juvenile delinquency is rampant and has entered the realm of crime.

The role of Hindu religious instructors in character education for the younger generation in South Barito Regency is to teach knowledge about religious teachings and train religious skills. To do this, Hindu religious instructors also guide and motivate the younger generation to be diligent and study hard and be involved in the activities carried out. Hindu religious instructors also set an example for the younger generation in appearance and behavior in accordance with the teachings of goodness. The role of the Hindu religious instructor is to bring about a change in the character of the young generation of Hindus in South Barito Regency for the better.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are inflammatory diseases of coronary arteries accompanying atheroma formation that can spawn impairment and, in severe cases, death. CVDs are the leading cause of death in the world. In recent decades, investigators have focused their impact on CVD by periodontal disease (PD). PD is a risk factor that can trigger the formation, maturation, and instability of atheroma in the arteries. Two mechanisms have been proposed to explain this relationship: periodontopathic pathogens explicitly invade the circulation or indirectly increase systemic levels of inflammatory mediators. It has been suggested that improvement in disease state has a positive effect on others. This review summarizes evidence from epidemiological studies as well as researches focusing on potential causation channels to deliver a comprehensive representation of the relationship between PD and CVD.

Combat capabilitie sofunits of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the involvementin the OOS and capacity building (acquisition of newones) during the preparation for dutyinthe NATO Response Force wereanalyzed. There sults of the basictraining course for the spy of the National Guard of Ukraine are given. Special units of the Armed Forces play an important role in the implementation of the Joint Forces operation in eastern Ukraine. During the performance of specific tasks, special forces units not only conducted reconnaissance (special measures) at important enemy targets, but also provided for the deployment of units of the Armed Forces to fire. The experience of recent armed conflicts shows that the most effective fire defeat of the enemy is possible with the maximum integration of means and forces of detection (intelligence). The tool for such integration, as well as for increasing the combat capabilities of special forces (Special Operations Forces), is the involvement in the NATO Operational Force and Capabilities Concept (hereinafter referred to as the Concept). The concept of NATOꞌs operational forces and capabilities is, in essence, a clear set of requirements for the unit involved in the assessment and sets a clear goal for the unit's command. With each assessment, the unit is faced with more and more requirements, for which the unit must be qualitatively transformed in accordance with NATO guidelines and act in accordance with their protocols. Protocols are a unified procedure and are the same for all types of troops. Since the last assessment, the unit has achieved its main goal ‒ full interoperability with NATO units and the ability to perform tasks in any operational area as efficiently as possible.

The introduction NATO standards into the components security and defense sector is one of the priority tasks for our country on the way to the Alliance. This topic remains relevant for more than one year. One of these standards is taking into account the specifics of military servicemenʼs diet, including vegetarian servicemen. There are a significant number of servicemen in National Guard of Ukraine units and other military formations who do not consume meat and animal products. The main reasons for this are: ethical views; theism and observance of certain fasts; various disorders of the body (restricted ability of the body to absorb lactose, periodic problems with digestion), etc. With the start of a full-scale war in 2022, Ukrainian volunteers covered the most diverse needs of the army. It was not an exception to meet the needs of some servicemen in National Guard of Ukraine and other military formations in vegetarian dry rations. Being a military serviceman, a person has certain limitations in the choice of food, since in many situations it depends on what exactly the state provides him with (the difficulty or complete lack of opportunities to buy food and prepare it independently plays a role). The introduction of additional ones to the existing dry rations, which can take into account these features, can solve this problem, in particular, in the absence of a "kitchen", namely in the areas of direct performance of tasks. The lack of plant-based meals causes many military personnel to abandon their ethical principles and, as a result, suffer health problems due to a forced and drastic change in diet after years of veganism. Thus, taking into account the experience of the worldʼs leading armies can fundamentally improve the organization of food supply in terms taking into account certain needs of military personnel. Also, it should be understood that the introduction of vegetable dry rations is not a change in the nutrition itself in the National Guard of Ukraine, but only its addition and expansion.

The substantiation of the relevance of the research problem, which lays in determining the features of the legal awareness of servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine as a factor of delinquent behavior, has been carried out. The total number of 48 servicemen of National Guard of Ukraine, who are undergoing training in different specialties, took part in the research. An analysis of types of cadetsꞌ legal awareness and its dependence on the combination of cognitive, emotional, behavioral and evaluative components has been carried out. The S. P. Beznosovꞌs "Attitude to Law" methodology was used to determine the integral features of the types of cadetsꞌ legal awareness. The meaningful features of legal awareness of cadets have been studied by using O. A. Gulevichꞌs questionnaire, developed on the basis of the theory of the structure of legal awareness; the specific attitude to law in the studied groups of military personnel has been summarized as well. The cadetsꞌ attitudes towards the law as a social phenomenon and towards themselves have been listed. The difference in legal activism between groups of cadets, its level of development, the causes of its occurrence and the main factors which negatively impacted it has been outlined. The activity component of the attitude of servicemen to the law, education in the field of legal regulation of relations in society, responsibility for its violation and ways of finding and obtaining legal knowledge in everyday life have been studied. The evaluation of the cadetsꞌ choice between the law and moral norms has been described, the structure of servicemenꞌs offenses has been determined, the main reasons for the acquittal of fellow servicemen for offenses has been analyzed, gaps in cadetsꞌ psychological education and insufficient understanding of responsibility for committed offenses have been identified. The results of the emotional attitude of cadets to the implementation of the law have been obtained, the main factors of non-observance of military discipline and abstinence from offenses by servicemen have been determined. The features of legal awareness of servicemen have been determined in accordance with the article and their specialty.

The article is devoted to the analysis of methodological aspects of improving the efficiency of planning of clothing support on the basis of the use of reporting information provided by the planning subjects. In modern conditions, there is an increase in the requirements for the quality of clothing support of troops. At the same time, the risks that affect the processes of material, including clothing support, are also growing. This complicates the planning and implementation of plans for the provision of troops, can negatively affect the level of provision of servicemen with clothing property. For a timely and effective response to such risks, it is necessary to find out the nature and magnitude of their impact and take measures to reduce it. Reporting information provided by the clothing services of military units can be considered as a statistical database of information necessary for the analysis of processes. Processing of this information using the methods of mathematical statistics opens up the possibility to establish existing trends in the dynamics of clothing supply indicators. These trends should be taken into account when planning work. The article describes the basic actions that need to be performed to build such forecasts. Also, the work plans should include measures that will be aimed at changing the internal and external working conditions in order to achieve the set goals. The article also points out the possibility of using correlation analysis to assess the effectiveness of organizational measures that were carried out in previous years to improve the quality of clothing support. In the presence of statistical data on the number (by type) of such measures, it is possible to find out whether they had an impact on the actual indicators of clothing provision. Obviously, the dependence of these values will not be functional, that is, unambiguous, but stochastic, ambiguous. The directions of further work on the implementation of the proposed processes in practice are also indicated.

Cars with electric and hybrid drive of driving wheels have become widespread in the world in recent years. For a wide class of wheeled vehicles with a combined electromechanical drive, it became possible to make the front axle swivel, which makes it possible to increase their maneuverability. The use of separate control of electric motors of the front swivel drive axle makes it possible to control the turning of machines by creating a difference in tangential reactions on the front wheels. This article analyzes the controllability of a four-wheeled special chassis with a combined power plant when creating a difference in torque on the front wheels. The obtained analytical dependences make it possible to evaluate the controllability of vehicles with a front steering axle. It is determined that the indicators of controllability and turning (angular acceleration and angular velocity) with the front rotary drive axle and the creation of a torque difference on its wheels are higher than in the case of equality of certain moments. The influence of the law of changing the difference of torques on the kinematic parameters of the car turning is investigated. It is determined that for each of the three laws of changing the difference in torques, the relative angular velocity of the car turning increases with time. The proposed steering is a system with two degrees of freedom, since two independent control actions are created at its input - turning the steering wheel and creating a difference in torque on the front wheels. Therefore, the solution of the task was carried out using a complex motion model. It should be said that the rigid wheels of the car were considered. When studying the movement of a car with wheels that are elastic in the lateral direction, it is necessary to use a model of a multicomponent complex movement, consisting of one portable and two relative movements. The second relative movement is the movement due to the deformation of the tires during their lateral withdrawal.
STUDY OF THE TEMPERATURE ERROR OF THE ACCELEROMETER SENSOR FOR MEASURING THE PARAMETERS OF BARREL RECOIL
Authors:   The National academy of hte National Guard of Ukraine, Kriukov O.
Published: February 2023

The paper describes a methodical approach to building a mathematical model of the temperature error of an accelerometer based on a liquid sensor for measuring barrel recoil parameters. The effect of a uniform temperature change over the volume of the sensitive element is considered. Mathematical models of temperature error are presented in the form of expressions for evaluating changes in the informative parameters of the sensitive element. It is shown that with certain combinations of design parameters of the sensitive element, there is an effect of partial compensation of changes in the contact areas of the gas component with the upper and lower ends of the rotor cavity. Quantitative assessment of temperature error for cases of using traditional structural materials and liquids was carried out. The impact of uneven heating of the sensitive element due to point sources of heat generation, which leads to the appearance of a temperature gradient for its arbitrary intersection, is considered. Expressions for evaluating the change in the informative parameters of the sensitive element in the presence of a temperature gradient have been obtained. A quantitative assessment of the temperature error due to the temperature gradient of the use of traditional structural materials and liquids was carried out. Constructive methods of limiting the effect of temperature error based on thermostating and thermal insulation of the accelerometer sensor are proposed. The condition for choosing the ratio between the design parameters of the sensitive element, which provides a significant reduction in the influence of the temperature error, has been obtained. The method of stabilizing the temperature of the sensitive element, which is based on its simultaneous thermostating and thermal insulation, is substantiated. The requirements for the parameters of the temperature control system of the sensitive element are given.
