Authors: Toupin Rémi , Krause Geoff , Riddle Poppy Nicolette , Hare Madelaine , Mongeon Philippe
Published: January 2025

In recent years, ocean governance has called for strategic action and science‐informed policy to work towards the sustainable development of the ocean, most notably as part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030). This common framework identifies the integration of scientific knowledge in governance as a key process to deliver solutions responding to the current challenges, opportunities, and transformations posed by global change in the oceans. This article presents a methodological approach for identifying ocean‐related research outputs and documenting research‐based knowledge integration in documents that inform ocean governance. Specifically, this study builds on an analysis of the references included in the UN Second World Ocean Assessment report to (a) identify and describe the research outputs cited in the distinct chapters of the report, (b) identify research outputs relevant to ocean governance through the analysis of citations from and to references included in the UN Second World Ocean Assessment, (c) compare both datasets to examine the position of the literature cited in the report within a broader ecosystem of ocean‐related research, and (d) present a method to identify topically relevant research that could be integrated in future ocean assessments. Our findings show distinct referencing practices across chapters and expert groups and a higher reliance on high‐profile sources in the report compared to a broader dataset of ocean research outputs. Moreover, this study highlights an innovative approach to identifying ocean research based on knowledge syntheses and considers discussion points about integrating research‐based knowledge in documents informing ocean governance.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: Silicone tamponade of the vitreous cavity can be indefinitely long due to severe forms of diabetic retinopathy, recurrent hemophthalmos, and recurrent retinal detachment. Prolonged contact of the capsular bag with tamponade agent leads to posterior capsule fibrosis and cataract development, including secondary cataract in pseudophakia, which significantly reduces the visual outcome of surgery. The technique of laser posterior capsulotomy has some peculiarities related to the tight contact of the posterior capsule with the silicone oil. Often the procedure cannot be completed successfully, and surgical dissection of the secondary cataract has to be performed. Repeated surgical procedure also has certain complexities and becomes even more risky, as there is an increased risk of IOL damage, IOL dislocation, and migration of silicone oil into the anterior chamber, which does not allow to improve the functional outcome of the intervention.
AIM: The aim of this study is to develop and present the own modified technique of YAG-laser posterior capsulotomy in eyes after vitrectomy with long-term silicone oil tamponade.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study presents the results of treatment of 12 patients (12 eyes), including 2 women and 10 men (16.67% and 83.33%), age from 16 to 60 (42.83 ± 7.89) years with prolonged “light” silicone oil tamponade and secondary cataract. Posterior capsulotomy was performed with YAG-laser using the developed technology. Best-corrected visual acuity before surgery ranged from 0.01 to 0.2 (0.07 ± 0.01), intraocular pressure before surgery ranged from 7 to 20 (11.83 ± 2.21) mm Hg. The term of silicone tamponade was from 4 to 51 (24 ± 6.48) months. The follow-up time for patients operated using this technology ranged from 1 to 60 (27.33 ± 9.95) days.
RESULTS: As a result of treatment, the dissection of the posterior lens capsule was achieved in 12 out of 12 patients (100%). No intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed. Postoperative best-corrected visual acuity ranged from 0.05 to 0.3 (0.13 ± 0.02), and intraocular pressure from 7 to 22 (13 ± 2.37) mm Hg. In all cases, the diameter of the optical area was sufficient and amounted to 3–4 mm, the flap of the posterior capsule was completely separated as a whole fragment.
CONCLUSIONS: The developed method of modified YAG-laser posterior capsulotomy (Patent RU No. 2782725, priority from December 27, 2021) in eyes with a long term silicone oil tamponade is effective and can be used in everyday medical practice. The advantages of the proposed method: high efficacy when performing the procedure in a complex category of patients with no additional procedures required. The procedure is a modification of a routine technology, and does not require additional equipment and training.

Under the influence of the changing international situation in the 1930s and the resulting threat to Poland from Germany, the legal opposition demanded the establishment of a government of national salvation. The main goal of organization was to develop a uniform internal and foreign policy and to increase efforts for the defense of the state at the expense of additional burdens on the society of the Second Polish Republic. However, the anti-sanction opposition was unable to develop a common political ground towards the sanation of the Country – “Sanacja”, to force it to comprom on important matters of the state before the outbreak of World War II.

Optical and Electrical Interfaces for Biological Structures
Authors: Bandali Mehdi
Published: January 2025

This dissertation presents novel solutions for recording optical and electrical
data from biological structures. CHAPTER ONE discusses the 16×16 Time correlated
SPAD image array I developed in a 180 nm HV CMOS process for single-molecule
localization super-resolution microscopy (SRM). This image array has a maximum
frame rate of 80 MHz and a fill factor of 17.4 %. To demonstrate SRM with this
imaging array, we localized gold nanoparticle displacement at 40 nm. CHAPTER TWO
discusses stimulation artifacts' time and frequency domain characteristics and
potential strategies for canceling this interference on neural recording.
CHAPTER THREE discusses an artifact-resilient neural recording front-end for
local field potential (LFP) and spike rate sensing with rail-to-rail common mode
(CM) and differential mode (DM) electrode DC offset (EDO) correction and instant
artifact recovery. This front-end enables memoryless sampling for artifact
mitigation using a continuous-time incremental sigma-delta (IΣ∆) topology. We
integrated this front end with a bipolar arbitrary stimulation system on the
chip to enable a bidirectional neural interface. CHAPTER FOUR discusses an
implantable Voltage-to-Time Converter (VTC) based analog front end for
peripheral nerve sensing. We co-designed this front-end with a galvanic
interface to transmit data to a wearable wirelessly. The data are encoded in
time-domain pulses to relax the wireless link's data rate and power
constraint.
Extending the Technology Acceptance Model
Authors: Dzbenski Michael A.
Published: January 2025

Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) are technologies
that allow users to interact with virtual environments and can create and
participate in digital educational experiences and simulations. Due to the VR
and VLEs being relatively new technologies in education, acceptance, use, and
finally adoption in a classroom environment lies with educators. The purpose of
this quantitative survey study was to explore and identify factors that
positively influence educator attitudes toward adopting VR and VLE technology.
The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was extended to determine if the
experiential learning educator role profile correlates to educator attitudes
toward the acceptance of VR and VLE technology. This study identified if
hands-on experience, current education level, and primary subject taught affect
an educator's intention to accept VR and VLE technology. The theoretical lens of
this study is Experiential Learning (EXL), and the theoretical construct is the
TAM. A survey was sent to educators familiar with VR and VLEs through
educational technology email lists and social media. Participants were
encouraged to share the survey with others who met the criteria. The survey
collected data from 136 educators throughout the United States. The data was
used to analyze descriptive statistics and path analyses through multiple
regressions on the relationships between the variables and the TAM constructs.
Data and discussion of findings from this investigation were beneficial in
determining that of the variables studied, hands-on experience influenced
whether VR and VLE technologies were accepted by educators. Educator role
profile had a direct significant effect on VR/VLE usage behavior. Based on the
statistical analyses, experiential current education level and primary subject
taught did not have a statistically significant effect. This study provides an
understanding of the determinants of teacher perceptions of the adoption of VR
and VLE technologies in educational settings and suggests strategies to promote
their adoption and inclusion.
Investigating the Influence of Surface Finishing Methods on Corrosion of
Additively Manufactured SS316L
Authors: Fadeley Joshua R.
Published: January 2025

Additive Manufacturing (AM), namely with metal, has seen a surge in growth and
interest over recent years. A wide array of industries is developing new
products to take advantage of this budding technology. In order to enable
adoption of this technology, understanding of the differences of AM versus
traditional manufacturing on the resultant materials properties of printed
components is important. The work done for this study fell into two separate
categories of work.

The first effort of this work involved the installation, certification, and
operation of the first laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) printer at the Center for
Advanced Energy Studies (CAES). As this being the first of its kind at the
center and for BSU, all new technical and engineering considerations were
encountered, taking two full years to complete all the documentation and
certification. As a result, successful LPBF printing of SS316L has been
established.

The second effort aimed to gain a better understanding of the corrosion
properties of AM SS316L and how the printing process and post-printing surface
finish impacts relative corrosion rates and potentials. Using an Open Additive
PANDA LPBF printer with typical parameters for stainless steel, twenty-five
identical samples were produced. The samples were divided into groups of three.
Each group tested with a different surface preparation method. The surface
preparation methods included media blasting, machining, and polishing. A piece
of wrought steel of the same variety was also included for a baseline
comparison. Electrochemical testing was performed to provide accelerated
corrosion conditions. Testing and post testing characterization results show
that a smoother surface finish will improve average corrosion rate by 53-63% and
improve average corrosion potential by 29-55% depending on the type of finish,
with some cases outside the expected trend. On average, AM SS316L showed a
reduced corrosion rate to that of the wrought steel. Greater interest was found
in how corrosion progressed on the AM samples with different surface finishes.
Pitting corrosion on all of the AM parts led to irregular attack around the AM
microstructural features and significant delamination between the individual
print layers. Wrought samples showed no such damage. Further testing is required
to fully understand this phenomenon. With the newly established metal 3D
printing capability, future research efforts will build on this work to support
increased adoption of this manufacturing technology.
Social Network Analysis of a Biomedical Research Co-Authorship
Network
Authors: Ferdous Amrina
Published: January 2025

A social network analysis (SNA) is a graph-based method for visualizing social
networks. Our study uses the SNA to analyze co-authorship patterns in National
Institutes of Health (NIH) - Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE),
Idaho Institutional Development Award (IDeA), Network of Biomedical Research
Excellence (INBRE), and Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (BRIN) grants
between 2001 and 2022. It is of interest to us to analyze the growth and
expansion of research over time to look at the social networks of research Hubs,
the social networks of potential research Hubs in the near future, and the
social networks of potential leaders of research Hubs. Junior investigators,
senior researchers, and research scientists within a shared core facility act as
a central Hub. Based on cited journal publications, we have analyzed the “COBRE”
grant-related network in the Matrix Biology network. Note that the grant is
entitled, “COBRE in the Matrix Biology”. The study aims to investigate the
growth pattern and success of the biomedical research program’s efforts
utilizing these bibliometric data. Network analysis allows us to understand
better factors that determine the success of new and existing programs. We are
also interested in their relationship strength and predicting their future
behaviors using Pearson’s correlation coefficients and machine learning models,
respectively. Pearson’s correlation indicates that co-authorship network
visualization and analysis is a valuable tool to understand the relationship
between a center-based thematic research focus with access to shared core
facilities and the research productivity of young investigators. The predictive
models help us identify which variables are good predictors to predict the
future behaviors of Hub. This bibliographic data analysis helps us understand
the research growth and future research drivers with their social network
patterns for the Idaho State researchers and the Boise State University
researchers.
Stabilization of Layered Transition Metal Oxide Positive Electrodes at High
Potential for Sodium Ion Batteries
Authors: Gabriel Eric
Published: January 2025

As global demand for energy storage rises in response to the proliferation of
electric vehicles and intermittent renewable energy sources, the resources
associated with popular energy storage systems are increasingly strained.
Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) rely heavily on elements with low abundance and
unstable supply chains, while sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are a promising
alternative technology based on abundant, globally available elements such as
iron and sodium. However, the electrochemical performance of SIBs must be
improved to enable their commercial viability. In the class of layered
transition metal oxide (LTMOs) materials that are strong candidates as positive
electrode materials for SIBs, the process of desodiation during charge leads to
a variety of degradation mechanisms. Irreversible phase transformations and the
reactivity of the surface against electrolyte are particularly pernicious, which
makes tools to mitigate these processes highly valuable.

The application of structural heterogeneity is evaluated in LTMOs as a means to
mitigate the degradation of these materials at high voltage. First, the role of
the transition metal composition in the degradation of the O3-type
Na(NiMn)1-xFexO2 system is investigated,
identifying the interaction between Ni and Fe at high state of charge and Fe
content that harms the reversibility of Ni redox. Next, it is shown that using
Li as a dopant in
NaxLiyNi0.4Fe0.2Mn0.4O2
can suppress the irreversible phase transformation observed in the undoped
material by the mechanical reinforcement from the biphasic Na-O3/Li-O’3
structure. However, the Li doping increases the side reaction at the surface,
which can be partially mitigated by Al2O3 coating. An
O3/P3 heterostructure can be promoted in
NaNi0.5Mn0.5O2 by controlled thermal
processing, which can bolster the reversibility of its high voltage redox
process. Finally, by manipulating the Na/Li ratio in
Na0.67-xLiyNi0.33Mn0.67O2,
the location of Li within the structure can be controlled with significant
influence on the cycling stability. Further, Li can promote a heterogeneous
interlayer ordering of transition metal ions that accelerates Na+
diffusion and yields superior high-rate capacity. Overall, it is found that the
thermodynamic and kinetic control of heterogeneous LTMO structures is an
effective means to influence their structural stability and other
properties.
Mapping Density and Distribution of Ptarmigan and Arctic Ground Squirrels
within Gyrfalcon Breeding Territories in Western Alaska
Authors: Gustafson Michaela L.
Published: January 2025

Shifting climate patterns are modifying Arctic habitats, stressing the need to
understand how rapid climate and habitat changes affect Arctic trophic webs.
Despite their crucial role in illuminating the impacts of Arctic changes and
their ripple effects on predators, like Gyrfalcons, small Arctic primary
consumers remain insufficiently studied across their range. To address this gap,
I sought to estimate the distribution and abundance of Gyrfalcons' top three
prey species (Willow Ptarmigan, Rock Ptarmigan, and Arctic ground squirrels)
within Gyrfalcon breeding territories on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, USA. I
also aimed to discern the relationships between different habitats and species’
abundance. My methodology involved repeated counts of Willow Ptarmigan, Rock
Ptarmigan and Arctic ground squirrels at 988 sites across the Seward Peninsula
from May to July in 2019, 2021, and 2022. I constructed time-removal abundance
models to predict distributions and abundances while evaluating crucial habitat
characteristics for these Arctic prey species. Willow Ptarmigan were more
abundant in areas with higher cover of tundra, shrubs, and tussock tundra, while
areas with higher coverage of sparse vegetation (10-30% vegetation cover) was
significant for Rock Ptarmigan and Arctic ground squirrels. Willow Ptarmigan
displayed a wider distribution within Gyrfalcon breeding territories, whereas
Rock Ptarmigan and Arctic ground squirrels exhibited patchier distributions with
few specific areas of high abundance. My findings represent the first estimates
of distribution and abundance for these vital species within Arctic trophic
ecosystems on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Notably, Willow Ptarmigan and Arctic
ground squirrels serve as ecosystem engineers, while all three species are
pivotal prey for Gyrfalcons and other avian and mammalian predators. Of note,
Rock Ptarmigan and Arctic ground squirrels may be more vulnerable to shrub
encroachment due to a warming climate, while increased shrub growth may benefit
Willow Ptarmigan as they heavily rely on shrubs for food and nesting sites.
Thus, my exploration of variations in abundance of these three species holds
significance in understanding the resilience of Arctic raptors and the broader
Arctic trophic web.
Seasonality in Terminus Ablation Rates for the Glaciers in Kalaallit Nunaat
(Greenland)
Authors: K. C. Aman
Published: January 2025

Since the 1990s, the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has undergone accelerated mass
loss, with a substantial portion due to the dynamic effects of terminus retreat.
Conventional assessments of dynamic mass loss, however often overlook the
critical aspect of terminus change, focusing primarily on inland ice flow. In
this thesis, I construct and analyze mass loss due to both temporal variations
in ice flow and detachment of ice from the glacier terminus, called terminus
ablation, for 55 marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland over a ten-year period
from 2013 to 2023. I calculated terminus ablation rates using openly accessible
data for terminus positions, surface elevation, bed elevation, and glacier speed
so that we could facilitate the extension of the terminus ablation time series
when more data become available. Throughout the decade, both terminus ablation
and discharge increased in the spring at most glaciers, supporting previous
observations of coincident terminus retreat and glacier flow acceleration.
However, terminus ablation was more irregular than discharge over seasonal to
inter-annual time scales, signifying the presence of sporadic ice fluxes into
the oceans that differ from what is estimated through discharge time series.
Three common variations in terminus ablation were identified: erratic seasonal
cycles, consistent seasonal variations, and large inter-annual fluctuations. On
grouping glaciers into regions to examine the regional patterns, larger seasonal
oscillations in terminus ablation than discharge were observed. Causal links
between terminus ablation and discharge could not be inferred from the datasets
due in part to variations in temporal resolution of terminus and discharge
observations for each glacier and across all study glaciers. However, the larger
magnitude and more sporadic variations in terminus ablation with respect to
discharge suggest that studies focused on the impacts of varying freshwater
input from Greenland's glaciers into the ocean should use terminus ablation time
series to accurately capture temporal variations in freshwater fluxes to the
oceans.
Automated Materials Spectroscopy and Topology Optimizations Using Genetic
Algorithms
Authors: Lau Miu Lun
Published: January 2025

This dissertation will focus on the implementation and development of genetic
algorithm software for increasing the productivity and analysis rate for
spectrum analysis, topology optimization, and others. The software artifacts
generated have resulted in a basic software framework called
Neo. The framework has been further developed into
different software for specific spectra methods such as EXAFS, Astrophysics,
Nano-Indentation, and many more.

For GA implementation that relates to EXAFS, we have demonstrated the usage of GA
to correctly identify chemical species presented, for Copper metal species,
Technetium compounds, and in-situ of SnS2 batteries. The software artifact was
able to generate accurate and physically reasonable EXAFS fittings that rapidly
accelerate the analysis process.

For the Nano-indentation, our software also demonstrates better fits for
graphite-related material compared to conventional LSF fits. Additionally, our
software has the ability to rapidly analyze a large amount of indentation
mapping, as shown in High Entropy Alloy (HEA) results.

For the heat exchanger optimization, we demonstrate the ability to optimize the
shape of the heat exchanger based on the design parameter and the underlying
physics-informed model. The model is supplemented by adsorption parameters
calculated in molecular dynamics.
Developing Relationships Between Macroporosity and Tensile Strength by
Imaging Failure Planes
Authors: Mazzagotte James C.
Published: January 2025

Porosity, which measures the empty spaces within rock structures, is crucial for
determining properties like density, hydraulic conductivity, and mechanical
strength, covering both microporosity and macroporosity. While many studies have
explored how porosity affects compressive strength and stiffness in different
rock types, less attention has been paid to its influence on tensile strength,
especially in extrusive igneous formations like vesicular basalt. This research
aims to fill this gap by investigating the relationship between macroporosity
and tensile strength in vesicular basalt.

The study employed non-destructive techniques, including machine learning and
manual image analysis, to calculate porosity, dividing it into specimen porosity
and failure plane porosity. Specimen porosity was determined using the specific
gravity method with a constant of 3.0 and a modified Segment Anything Model
(SAM) for image segmentation. Failure plane porosity was evaluated using SAM on
stitched and focused stacked images, along with manual calculations using IC
Measure software.

Comparison between specific gravity calculations and SAM reveals that while
specific gravity estimates both micro- and macroporosity, SAM only identifies
macroporosities on the specimen's surface. Both methods generally yield similar
results for lower porosity values but diverge at higher levels. SAM-estimated
porosities exhibit a stronger correlation with tensile strength than specific
gravity porosities due to SAM's tendency to produce higher porosity estimates
for specimens with similar tensile strengths. However, surface porosity is
considered unreliable for estimating specimen porosity due to the heterogeneous
nature of macropores.

Fourteen specimens underwent extensive examination to evaluate failure plane
porosity, encompassing the entire dataset from specific gravity measurements.
Techniques such as image stitching and focused stacking were employed to
generate detailed images of the failure plane. Porosity determination methods
were compared for consistency, with a baseline of a ±5% porosity range.
SAM-assessed failure plane porosities generally matched well with manually
measured porosity, except for a few instances where issues like double counting
of macropores led to discrepancies in porosity values.

The correlation between failure plane porosity and tensile strength was analyzed,
revealing a much stronger correlation compared to specimen porosity as
determined by specific gravity methods. Various methods of assessing failure
plane porosity were compared, with SAM assessment showing similar results to
manual measurement.
The “Nurseries of Republicans”
Authors: Parker Kaci
Published: January 2025

The landscape of secondary education before the French Revolution has not yet
been studied as a potential cause of, and factor in, the coming Revolution.
After the Jesuits were expelled from France in 1763, their secondary schools—the
collèges—were confiscated by the government. This
government coalition of the royal monarchy and the law courts of France, known
as the parlements, took over the schools and ran them as the
“Interim” system. Despite previous historiography which stresses the continuity
of these systems, my research has found that there were deep changes that
happened in both the curriculum and the teachers of the Interim schools. These
changes in turn had an impact on the revolutionary generation, who began school
at the exact time the Interim system was implemented. These claims are backed up
by contemporaries of the French Revolution, who identified the Interim schools
as the “nurseries of republicans”—the origins of the Revolution.
TRIO Upward Bound
Authors: Simila Megan
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the factors that influence the college
choice process for first-generation, low-income, and academically at-risk
students in a TRIO Upward Bound program. The literature review theoretically
explores the multi-level factors with Perna’s college choice model, social
construction theory, and Bourdieu’s social, cultural, and financial capital
definitions. This study hypothesizes students will enroll within 50 miles of
home, a Greek and Latin root intervention will improve SAT scores, and GPA and
concurrent credit classes are correlated to college enrollment, degree
completion, and type of institution attended. This study also proposes that the
students who return home and re-enroll, or bounce back, after leaving for
college do so because of financial, cultural, and social reasons. The methods
and data chapter first explains the quantitative models of multinomial logistic
regression, difference in differences, and univariate regression that are used
and TRIO Upward Bound’s data collection process. It then explains the
qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews for learning more about the
bounce back. The findings suggest a majority of students enroll within 50 miles
of home and follow national trends in SAT scores despite the intervention. GPA
and concurrent credit classes are highly correlated with college enrollment and
type of institution, but not always degree completion. The primary reasons
students bounced back home related to a lack of social and cultural capital on
the college campus when challenges arose. The study concludes with suggestions
from the interviewees about how postsecondary institutions can better support
first-generation, low-income, and academically at-risk students.
Porcine Computational Modeling to Investigate Developmental Dysplasia of the
Hip
Authors: Yu Chia-Yu
Published: January 2025

While it is well-established that early detection and initiation of treatment of
developmental dysplasia of the hip is crucial to successful clinical outcome,
research on mechanics of the hip joint during healthy and pathological hip
development in infants has been limited. Quantification of mechanical behavior
in both the healthy and dysplastic developing joints may provide insight into
the causes of developmental dysplasia of the hip and facilitate innovation in
treatment options. In this study, subject-specific three-dimensional finite
element models of two pigs were developed: one healthy pig and one pig with
induced dysplasia in the right hindlimb. The objectives of this study were: (1)
to characterize mechanical behavior in the acetabular articular cartilage during
a normal walking cycle by analyzing six metrics: contact pressure, contact area,
strain energy density, von Mises stress, principal stress and principal strain;
(2) to quantify the effect on joint mechanics of three anatomic abnormalities
previously identified as related to developmental dysplasia of the hip:
variation in acetabular coverage, morphological changes in the femoral head, and
changes in the articular cartilage. All metrics, except contact area, were
elevated in the dysplastic joint. Morphological changes in the femoral head were
determined to be the most significant factor in elevating contact pressure in
the articular cartilage, while the effects of acetabular coverage and changes in
the articular cartilage were less significant.

Career problems experienced by students when choosing a career require more understanding when making their choices. To minimize these problems, it is necessary to provide career guidance services with optimal technical variations to make it easier for guidance and counseling teachers to provide services in career planning. For this reason, guidelines are needed to overcome career problems to plan the right career.  This research aims to produce modelling technique guidelines that are feasible and effective in improving career planning for vocational School Student. This research was development research proposed by Brog and Gall with seven steps, namely 1) preliminary research and information collection, 2) planning, 3) initial product development, 3) initial field test, 4) revision of initial field test results, 5) main field trial, and 6) revision of main field test results. Data collection used material validation test questionnaires, media validation test questionnaires, guidance and counseling teacher test questionnaires, interviews, documentation, and career planning scales. Material experts, media experts, and guidance and counseling teachers carried out the feasibility test of the guide. The population in this study amounted to 76 students, and the subject of a trial of 10 guidance counseling teachers was used to determine this study's effectiveness level. The data analysis technique used quantitative dataanalysis. The results of this study show that: 1) the guidance of modeling techniques to improve students' career planning based on the results of the assessment of material experts obtained a score of 73 with the feasible category; the results of the assessment of media experts obtained a score of 83 with the feasible category; and all guidance and counseling teacher practitioners give a score with a range of 69 ≤ S ≤ 84 with the very feasible category; 2) the modeling technique guide to improve students' career planning is effective based on the career planning scale. The effectiveness test conducted on 76 students resulted in an average score of 31.26 for the pretest and 41.2 for the posttest, so it can be concluded that the modeling technique guidebook for career planning is declared effective.

The aim was to create a three-dimensional model of the umbilical cord vessels of newborns, taking into account their individual morphometric features and evaluation the compliance of the morphometric parameters of the 3D model and the corrosion preparation. Material and methods. The material for the study included the umbilical cord vessels of full-term newborns whose status at birth was estimated at ≥7 points on the Apgar scale, in the amount of 20 samples, 10 cm long. The first stage of the study was the production of corrosion preparations based on the dental material “Belakril”-M XO. Then the corrosion preparations were scanned on a 3D scanner RangeVision SPECTRUM (Russia) on a rotary table at a speed of 24°/s. As a result, 3D models of umbilical cord vessels were obtained in the ScanCenter NG 2022 program.The number of turns in a given area was counted, the distance between the turns of the umbilical cord vessels was measured on corrosion preparations using an electronic caliper, the distance between the “artery and vein” complexes, the circumference of the umbilical cord vessel complex was measured with a centimeter tape, and the internal diameter of the arteries and veins was measured with a micrometer. Measurements of 3D models were taken in the Blender 4.2. STL program. Statistical data processing was carried out in the Statistica 10 program. Results. On the corrosion specimen and 3D model, the number of turns on the examined section of the umbilical cord with a length of 10 cm did not exceed two. The distance between the turns was 45 mm. The distance between adjacent “artery and vein” complexes was 45 mm. The internal diameter of the arteries and veins was 2.6 mm and 7.3 mm, respectively. Comparison of the morphometric parameters of the corrosion preparation and the 3D model showed no statistically significant differences. This observation may indicate the methodological accuracy and adequacy of the technology for constructing 3D models from the corrosion preparation. Conclusion. The morphometric parameters of computer 3D models of the umbilical cord vessels of full-term newborns created using the RangeVision SPECTRUM 3D scanner are identical to those of corrosive preparations. Such models can be used in the future as a basis for setting up biophysical experiments and for creating computer simulations.

Each of the typologies and M.V. Chernorutsky, and Heath–Carter has its own undeniable advantages, allowing one to evaluate the adaptive changes in the body of cadets when studying at a military university. These include the ability to assess the composition of the soma and the body shape of the individual. The aim was to study the dynamics of changes in somatotypes in cadets using a combination of typologies by M.V. Chernorutsky and Heath–Carter during their studies at a military medical university. Material and methods. The present study examined a coherent sample of 387 male and 27 female cadets. Applicants, cadets of 2 and 6 years of study were examined. Somatotyping was carried out according to the methods of M.V. Chernorutsky and Heath–Carter. Results. Hypersthenic applicants, regardless of gender, were characterized by an endo-mesomorphic somatotype. For male applicants, regardless of the classification of M.V. Chernorutsky, the greatest development of mesomorphy was noted, while in girls of normosthenic and asthenic body types, the predominant development of endomorphy was noted. Adaptation to studying at a university, regardless of somatotype, is accompanied by a decrease in the severity of endomorphy. This is typical for all somatotypes with the exception of normosthenic men. The transition from adolescence to first adulthood in university students, regardless of somatotype, is accompanied by an increase in mesomorphy, which implies good development of muscles and skeleton developing from the mesoderm. Conclusion. Thus, combined somatotyping using two schemes that differ in the basis for stratifying the sample into classified subgroups can be used as a methodological approach, within which one typology acts as a discriminatory factor, and the other as a criterion for adaptive changes.
