Analysis of brines for the content of the main substance and impurities of magnesium and calcium salts by the sonoluminescence method
Authors: Yurchenko Oleg , Chernozhuk Tetiana , Baklanov Oleksandr
Published: February 2024

The use of the sonoluminescence method for the analysis of brines for the content of the main substance – sodium chloride and admixtures of magnesium and calcium salts – was studied. The use of sonoluminescence initiated by the ultra-high frequency ultrasound (10.0–25.0 MHz) to determine the content of the main substance – sodium chloride – in brines, as well as sonoluminescence initiated by the simultaneous action of ultra-high- (10.0–25.0 MHz) and low- (20–100 kHz) frequency ultrasound to determine the content of magnesium and calcium salts was experimentally investigated. When determining the content of sodium chloride in brines, the smallest relative standard deviation of the analysis results (Sr = 0.010–0.013) was when using the ultra-high-frequency ultrasound with a frequency of 22.0–23.0 MHz and intensity of 20.0 W/cm2. When determining the content of magnesium and calcium salts, for the initiation of sonoluminescence, it was optimal to use the simultaneous action of ultra-high frequency ultrasound (20.0–22.0 MHz) and intensity (20.0 W/cm2), and low-frequency ultrasound (19.0–22.0 kHz) and intensity 1.30–1.50 W/cm2, which made it possible to increase the sensitivity of determining magnesium and calcium in brines from 3.0–5.0 g/l when initializing sonoluminescence by the low-frequency ultrasound to 0.01 g/l when initializing sonoluminescence by the simultaneous action of ultra-high- and low-frequency ultrasound.

Methods for determining the content of the main substance and impurities of magnesium and calcium salts in brines have been developed. The correctness of the methods was checked by analysing the same samples using alternative methods. When determining the content of the main substance, the following methods were used as alternative ones: gravimetry and the sonoluminescence method of low-frequency ultrasound, as well as with high-frequency ultrasound. When determining the content of magnesium and calcium salts, flame atomic absorption spectrometry and the sonoluminescence method of low-frequency ultrasound, as well as with the simultaneous action of high- and low-frequency ultrasound, were used as alternative methods.

Authors: Kushnir Yu.A.
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the study is to assess the severity of negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this category of patients.Material and methods. 252 patients with negative symptoms of schizophrenia (main group) and 79 patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia (comparison group) were examined. A total of 331 patients with schizophrenia took part in the study. A comprehensive approach was used in the study, consisting of a combination of clinical-psychopathological, psychometric (SANS scale) and statistical research methods.Research results. Clinical-psychopathological characteristics of patients with negative symptoms in schizophrenia have been established, which consisted of the predominance of the residual form of schizophrenia; continuously progradient and episodic with an increasing defect of flow types; the onset of negative symptoms in the initial period. Specific features of the manifestation of negative symptoms in patients with negative symptoms in schizophrenia have been determined, which consisted of the severity of attention disorders, anhedonia, abulia, and alogia. It has been detected that the phenomenology of negative symptoms in schizophrenia has a complex structure and is described by the presence of components of affective flattening (reduced expressiveness of speech, avoidance of eye contact), alogia (delayed responses, interrupted thoughts), abulia and apathy (reduced productivity and energy potential), anhedonia and antisociality (reduced activity in free time, sexual interests, the ability to feel intimacy and closeness) and the sphere of attention (reduced attentiveness in contact with others and during testing). Conclusions. As a result of the study, the peculiarities of the manifestation of negative symptoms in patients with negative symptoms of schizophrenia have been determined, which can act as diagnostic criteria and predictors of the formation of negative symptoms during the differential diagnosis of patients with schizophrenia and can be taken into account when creating treatment and psycho-corrective programs aimed at reducing negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia.
Analysis of work with citizen complaints in Ukraine and their levels of control
Authors: Biduchak A.S.
Published: February 2024

Complaints of citizens are a form of direct management of state affairs and one of the ways of controlling state administration. Through the appeal, a «dialogue» takes place between the state and citizens, in which the interests of the complainant, as well as other citizens or society as a whole, can be reflected. The demands of citizens are, above all, a source of information and a necessary force for solving current or prospective problems of the development of a modern country. Most appeals consist of complaints and statements, and these concepts hide exactly the rights that have been violated or not implemented, which are formally enshrined in Ukrainian legislation.Of course, the government cannot consider everyone's appeals, but their number on the same problem can force it not just to make a decision to eliminate a specific violation, and to correct a specific deficiency, but to pay attention to the problem on a national scale.The purpose of the study is to analyze the organization of work with citizens' appeals and to define the main levels of their control.Material and methods. Statistical and medical-epidemiological methods were used in the study. An analysis of the database with appeals from citizens of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine for 10 years (2013-2022) was carried out.Results and discussion. It was established that during the study period in Ukraine, the number of appeals from citizens regarding the provision of medical assistance increased significantly. The number of appeals for 2022 compared to 2013 increased by 24,0%. The main issues addressed by citizens concern the provision of medical assistance (23,4%), personnel issues (14,6%); issues of referral to the medical and sanitary expert commission and medical advisory commission (12,9%) and illegal actions of medical workers (7,7%).The obtained results confirmed the need for the development and implementation of scientific preventive technologies in order to improve the organization of work with citizens' appeals at the regional level with further implementation in the work of medical institutions.Conclusions. It was found that optimizing work with appeals requires implementing a new model for organizing work with citizens regarding their appeals. Such a model will ensure consideration of appeals on merit, with entry into a single register of appeals, taking into account feedback and monitoring of patient satisfaction.

‘I heard myself proclam’d:’ the transition in the critical and textual reception of Edgar in King Lear
Authors: Dale James
Published: February 2024

The publication of Shakespeare's First Folio in 1623 marked the beginning of a period, lasting over three centuries, in which the critical reception of Edgar in King Lear was often unenthusiastic, judging by the opinions of subsequent theatre practitioners and literary critics. There were voices that questioned Edgar's relevance to the plot and considered him a superfluous character. Moreover, Edgar's heteroglossia was increasingly toned down in stage interpretations, removing the complex polyphony of Shakespeare's character by omitting lines given to the character in the Quarto version of the play. Since the mid-twentieth century, however, the critical (and textual) reception of Edgar has changed, as evidenced by the research of textual scholars who seek to preserve the ethical meaning of Edgar in the play. This has resulted in Edgar's text being revisited in stage performances. In addition, recent critics are paying more attention to Edgar's dexterity in the use of language and disguise, which they believe restores the character's role as crucial to the play's plot.
Stepping over the line of segregation – the visual argument of picturebook narratives from the sit-in movement
Authors: Klęczaj-Siara Ewa , Brame Chase Anthony
Published: February 2024

Six decades after the historic sit-in movement, the city of Greensboro, North Carolina, once an epicentre of the Civil Rights Movement, still exhibits de facto segregation along racial divides. The division within the city of Greensboro poses a question that many places in the U.S. struggle to answer: how to address a painful history while promoting optimism for the future. This paper advocates for the use of storytelling in children’s picturebooks which have been cited as one of the most effective tools for encouraging social action and promoting positive societal values. The article discusses two picturebooks, Sit-in Movement: How Four Friends Stood Up by Sitting Down (2010) and Freedom on the Menu: The Greensboro Sit-ins (2007). The analysis of the picturebooks draws on the working strategies of O’Rourke and Pace (2020), including the visual rhetoric of the illustrations, somatic rhetoric, elements of performative studies, and the legacies of the sit-ins.

L’enseignement de l‘histoire en France a-t-il fait l’objet d’un «épistémicide»? Retour critique sur quelques présupposès de la pensée décoloniale
Authors:   Université Paris-Diderot, Cocke Laurence De
Published: February 2024

Cet article vise à faire une réflexion critique sur l’enseignement de l’histoire en France. On défend la thèse selon laquelle l’enseignement de l’histoire ne peut être que politique et, par conséquent, il faut savoir quelles les connaissances fondamentales que les étudiants doivent assimiler pour pouvoir exercer leur citoyenneté politique. Le récit d’histoire de France forgé au XIXème siècle au moment de la constitution académique de la discipline historique et qui repose sur une narration linéaire, ancrée sur des grands personnages et évènements fondateurs et porté par une logique progressiste visant à démontrer l’avancée de la France vers le meilleur. Cette écriture avait une double finalité: fournir une matrice identitaire par l’identification commune à un destin collectif, fabriquer un attachement patriotique et un consentement au pouvoird’abord impérial, puis républicain. Ce récit se veut par ailleurs porteur d’un idéal universel directement issu des pensées des Lumières, complexes et multiples, au coeur duquel l’histoire coloniale tient une place centrale. En 1957 les programmes d’histoire de Terminale sont réécrits avec la participation de Fernand Braudel. L’approche «civilisationnelle» offre un nouveau regard sur les espaces en voie de décolonisation oscillant entre la délimitation d’une nouvelle forme d’histoire immédiate et le commentaire d’actualité. Les problématiques coloniales y sont fortement représentées. La période qui court des années 1970 à aujourd’hui se charge de nouvelles données. La première, et non des moindres, est que les décolonisations achevées deviennent de possibles contenus d’enseignement à agencer dans un récit historique. La seconde, plus politique relève de la demande sociale qui émerge à propos de la mémoire coloniale, en lien avec la politisation, en France de la question de l’immigration coloniale et postcoloniale. Aujourd’hui l’histoire coloniale est très présente, dans l’enseignement secondaire, au collège comme au lycée général, technologique et professionnel.

Physico-chemical and mechanical features of endodontic sealers are essential functional properties involved in their sealing ability, osteoconductivity, and biocompatibility. Four different root canal sealers (Ceraseal, MTA Fillapex, AH Plus and Sealapex) were investigated in this study in order to evaluate the thermal and nanomechanical features in relation to their bioactivity potential. The nano-hardness values respected the descendent trend: HCeraseal >HSealapex >HMTA >HAHPlus, being influenced by the percent of the inorganic component in the samples, identified as residual mass in TGA/DTG (Thermogravimetrical Analysis/ Derivative Thermogravimetry) thermograms. Based on electrochemical measurement in SBF (Simulated Body Fluid) and surface investigations by SEM/EDX, we found that the bioactivity potential decreased in the following order: Ceraseal > MTA Fillapex >AH Plus >Sealapex. The highest bioactivity in the case of Ceraseal was evidenced in terms of apatite-like spherulites observed to cover the surface after 28 days incubation in SBF, and Ca/P ratio 1.71, along with the dynamic release and consumption of Ca2+ and PO3− in SBF. On the opposite side, lack of mineralization was noticed on the surface of Sealapex sample. Knowledge about the proper thermo-mechanical, biological and physico-chemical properties of the root canal materials is important in order to allow a correct material selection, either as premixed or two-component formulation, requiring good sealing or immediate therapeutic effect.

The article, which comprehensively presents the issue under discussion, also makes the focus on the growing role of artificial intelligence in the field of international relations, which has become one of the important issues on the agenda of superpower relations. At the same time, the advantages and risks of digital technologies and artificial intelligence systems are discussed, which, on the one hand, ensure technological progress, and on the other, create dividing barriers between developed and less developed countries. The author researches how the foreign policy departments of the leading world powers use the opportunities provided by artificial intelligence systems in their work, and what advantages this provides. The above-mentioned questions indicate that the current generation of International relations scholars must be capable to use the instruments of digital technologies and artificial intelligence systems in the course of their professional activities, which will save time and increase the efficiency of the work done. However, the important question is how to use digital technologies and artificial intelligence systems in the educational process of training specialists in International relations, so that this does not have negative consequences and does not lead to overload of students or tutors. It is necessary to identify the relevant components of education in this regard, as well as to estimate the proportion of using the artificial intelligence in education. It is important that the university is also a research environment and the functioning of a continuous chain of science and education is really crucial, and in which the use of artificial intelligence capabilities is also important. The article also analyzes and presents the views of researchers involved in the issue regarding the positive and negative consequences of the use of artificial intelligence in higher education. Accordingly, conclusions were drawn regarding the prospects for the use of artificial intelligence in higher education.
