Authors: Yusma Damayanti  , Dewi Sri Nurchaini  , Ulma Riri Oktari
Published: September 2024

This research was conducted in Ibru Village, Mestong District, Muaro Jambi Regency, focusing on turmeric farmers as respondents. The study aimed to achieve three primary objectives: (1) to analyze the production function associated with turmeric farming, (2) to evaluate the level of optimization and economic efficiency in the utilization of production factors, and (3) to determine the optimal use of production inputs in turmeric cultivation. A census approach was employed, encompassing all 26 turmeric farmers in Ibru Village as the study’s respondents. The methodological framework utilized the Cobb-Douglas production function analysis, followed by optimization calculations to assess economic efficiency. The results of the study indicated several key findings: (1) land and labor inputs were found to significantly impact the increase in turmeric production per hectare annually, while the inputs of seeds and compost fertilizers did not show a significant effect on production levels; (2) the current use of land and labor in turmeric farming was identified as economically inefficient; and (3) optimization analysis suggested that there is potential for expanding turmeric farming to 1,925 hectares, with a corresponding increase in labor utilization to 31,213 labor days (HOK). These findings provide valuable insights into the efficiency of production practices in turmeric farming and offer guidance for potential improvements and expansion in the sector.

Published: September 2024

Background: Empirical observations consistently demonstrate heightened levels of trauma and bullying victimization among children and adolescents with conduct problems. However, most of this evidence is generated in high-income countries and little is known about the development of conduct problems in low- and middle-income countries, which are characterized by elevated risks of threat and deprivation. Methods: To explore conduct problems development in a high-risk setting, we used data from 2,511 children and young people (aged 6 - 23 years) enrolled in the Brazilian High Risk Cohort Study. Caregiver reports were used to assess developmental risk factors and conduct problems across three waves of data collection. A Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model was applied. Results: Both trauma at T1 (β = .08, SE = .22, p = .024) and bullying victimization at T1 (β = .08, SE = .12, p = .016) predicted conduct problems at T2. Gender disparities were also observed: while males showed a consistent increase in conduct problems at T3 following trauma exposure at T2 (β = .14, SE = .46, p = .031), females demonstrated a decrease (β = -.26, SE = .65, p = .003). Conclusions: Our study highlights longitudinal associations between trauma, bullying victimisation and conduct problems, with differences across genders. These findings emphasize the need for a stronger focus on child and adolescent mental health problems in Brazil, particularly targeting males, as well as in other low- and middle-income countries more generally. Moreover, collaborative research with carefully coordinated methods is essential to identify global and context-specific mechanisms involved in the development of conduct problems.

Exploratory Graph Analysis Trees - A Network-based Approach to Investigate Measurement Invariance with Numerous Covariates
Authors: Goretzko David , Sterner Philipp
Published: September 2024

When comparing latent means across groups, measurement invariance (MI) needs to be established to ensure that the test results are valid and meaningful conclusions can be drawn. Common tests of MI are not suitable for many groups and cannot be used during the development of measurement models. In addition, popular network-based alternatives to latent variable modeling lack established methods for MI testing. Therefore, we propose Exploratory Graph Analysis Trees (EGA trees) that apply the idea of model-based recursive partitioning to correlation matrices and combine it with EGA - which can be used instead of exploratory factor analysis. In a simulation study, we test the approach regarding its ability to detect configural or metric non-invariance in common factor models given numerous covariates and illustrate its usefulness in conditions with severe violations of configural invaraince based on diverging numbers of factors. The results demonstrate that EGA trees can be a valuable tool for the exploration of MI when constructing scales and working on measurement models. We provide R functions within the R package EFAtree to easily implement EGA trees.
Linking Autonomy Supportive Parenting with Their Children’s Autonomous Motivation Toward, and Participation in, Physical Activity
Authors: Phipps Daniel John , Green Weldon T , Lintunen Taru , Knittle Keegan Phillip , Hagger Martin S
Published: September 2024

Background: Health behaviors and motivations within family units are likely to be associated with the motives and behaviors of other family members. A potential mechanism for these relations is that parents citing autonomous motives toward physical activity are more likely to support their child’s autonomous motivation to be active. The current study tested a model specifying relations between parent autonomous motivation and parent, child, and parent-and-child joint physical activity behavior with parent autonomy supportive parenting, child perceived autonomy support, and child autonomous motivation specified as mediators of the autonomous motivation-child physical activity relationship.Methods: Data on autonomous motivation, autonomy supportive parenting, perceived autonomy support, and physical activity, both alone and jointly between parents and children, were collected from a sample of 88 Finnish parent-child dyads and analyzed using a partial least squares structural equation modelling.Results: Findings indicated associations between parent autonomous motivation and parent and joint parent-child physical activity, and an indirect effect of autonomy supportive parenting on child physical activity mediated by child perceived autonomy support and autonomous motivation. Conclusions: Results provide a potential explanation for relations between parental motives and child physical activity as a function of supportive parenting, and signpost potential targets for family-based behavior change interventions.
Matrimony between Christians: Historical Dynamics and Canonical Perspective
Authors: Přibyl Stanislav
Published: September 2024

Firstly, the article provides basic information on the biblical teaching on marriage. While the Old Testament sees marriages with numerous offspring as a high value, the New Testament shows a tendency towards celibacy, be it on account of imitating Christ or for the expectation of imminent parousia. The most important author amongst the Fathers of the Church, St. Augustine, made a significant contribution towards forming the Catholic doctrine on marriage upon which drew even the medieval scholastics. In the modern age, the Church complained about the countries which forced their concept of marriage on the Catholic faithful. Even today, the Catholic Church is against the breakdown of marriage by means of divorce. Since the Second Vatican Council, however, there has been a development, for example, as regards contracting marriages between Christians of Catholic and non-Catholic confessions. Prior to the publication of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, this was expressed in the motu proprio of Paul VI Matrimonia mixta, whose regulation did not have to be changed substantially in the Code.

In the article presents the results of a study of the dynamics of the accumulation of heavy metals and macroelements in the body of snails in the vicinity of the Ulbi metallurgical plant in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk, East Kazakhstan region, where heavy metals are found in large quantities. Experimental work was carried out on 40 Lissachatina fulica snails over a period of 48 days. During the work, the snails were fed with soil contaminated with heavy metals and macroelements, and the dynamics of the accumulation of chemical elements in the snails’ bodies were studied every week. In the course of studying the accumulation of macroelements and heavy metals, experimental animals were prepared using the method of two-stage euthanasia in compliance with ethical standards. During the study, mass spectrometry (ISP-MS) analyzed the amount of elements Ca, K, Mg, N, V, Co, Pb, As, Sr, Cu, Zn in the bodies of intact animals, control and research groups. A large amount of heavy metals and macroelements was found in the body of the animals of the research group. The amount of heavy metals accumulated in the body of snails increased on the 32nd day and then decreased again (P<0.001). According to research results, it is known that heavy metals accumulate in the body in one month, which means that this environmental situation is one of the problems that requires an urgent solution. Although the accumulation of heavy metals in the soil of geographical area and their amount in the soil were studied, their accumulation in living organisms, including snails, and the dynamics of their accumulation as a result of many years of research have been studied for the first time.

Bifidobacteria are the most common microorganisms in the intestines of healthy breastfed children. The genus Bifidobacterium includes bacteria characterized by probiotic properties, such as the induction of immunomodulators, increasing the nutritional value of products due to the assimilation of substrates that are not broken down by the host, anticarcinogenic activity, synthesis of vitamins, production of antimicrobial drugs, which contribute to the promotion of health. Bifidobacteria demonstrate physiological and genetic characteristics including adhesion to the intestinal epithelium, as well as metabolism of glycans in the host body. Multitrophic interaction is formed based on various mechanisms of substrate recognition in the surrounding environment and the transmission of molecular and genetic information, which contributes to survival in the human gastrointestinal tract. Representatives of the Bifidobacterium bifidum species constitute a dominant taxon among bifidobacteria, demonstrating significant probiotic properties and extensive potential for the treatment and prevention of various diseases. Currently, a large number of Bifidobacterium bifidum species have been sequenced, which are of interest to medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture. Their genetic strategies for colonizing and persisting in the human intestine have been identified. Cross-interaction mechanisms of Bifidobacterium bifidum with the host and other microorganisms have been demonstrated using various structures. In this review, we discuss current knowledge about the biology of the genus Bifidobacterium, including the biological characteristics of Bifidobacterium bifidum species, which exhibit specific adaptations to the human intestine.

Published: September 2024

Cryopreservation of plant material of valuable plants is an effective way to preserve biological diversity in conditions of active and widespread anthropogenic pressure on natural ecosystems. Introduction to cryocollections is justified not only for food agricultural plants, but also for medicinal plants that have valuable secondary metabolites and essential oils. These include Dracocephalum ruyschian and Salvia sclarea. To effectively restore the viability of seeds after freezing in liquid nitrogen, we examined the influence of various cryoprotectants: glycerin, dimethyl sulfoxide and polyvinypyrrolidone, as well as various methods of their application — at room temperature and in the cold. It was found that for effective cryopreservation of Dracocephalum ruyschiana seed material, the use of cryoprotectors is justified; however, the method of their application does not matter. When cryopreserving Salvia sclarea seed material, it is important to use cryoprotectors and introduce them into the cooling system, preferably at the crystallization temperature of water; in this case, the energy of seed germination increases significantly.
Geometric approach to define a railway plan model
Authors: Artykbaev A. , Toshmatova M.M.
Published: September 2024

The construction of new railway lines is based on the railway plan. There are various ways to draw up a railway plan. The basis of all railway plans is a scheme of geometric point locations, the projection of the center of gravity of the carriage is on a horizontal plane and consists of a single flat line. The railway plan consists of linear and curved parts connecting straight sections. However, the curves determining the position of the rails of the railway track in the curved part will be spatial. To extinguish the centrifugal forcearising in the curved part of the road, an external rail rises. In this case, the elevated curve representing the outer rail becomes spatial. Therefore, in the work, it is proposed to draw up a plan of a railway track as two curves, one of which is flat, and the other depicts an external spatial rail. In this case, the distance between the ends of the rectilinear parts and the angle between the rectilinear parts are selected as the main parameters. In the work, for the simplest case, when both linear parts belong to the same horizontal plane, it is proved that the curved part is a spatial curve. The curvature of the required curve was determined and a dynamic system was constructed, the solution of which would be a curve that satisfied the technical conditions presented for the railway route. This dynamic system is proposed as a mathematical model of the railway route. In the rectilinear parts, the railway plan is straight on a horizontal plane. The curve of the road should be spatial.

Published: September 2024

This study is devoted to the study of the solution of a boundary value problem for an ordinary linear differential equation of half order with constant coefficients. Using of the fundamental solution of the main part of the considered equation, we obtained the principal relations, from which we obtain the necessary conditions for the Fredholm property of the original problem. Further, using the Mittag-Leffler function, a general solution of the homogeneous equation is obtained. Finally, the problem under consideration is reduced to an integral Fredholm equation of the second kind with a non-singular kernel, i.e., the Fredholm property of the stated problem is proved.
Controllability and Optimal Fast Operation of Nonlinear Systems
Authors: Aisagaliev S. , Korpebay G.
Published: September 2024

A new method for solving the problem of controllability and optimal transient behavior of nonlinear systems subject to boundary conditions and constraints on control values was proposed. Unlike existing methods, this new approach is based on constructing a general solution of the integral equation for a linear controlled system, followed by transforming the original problem into a special initial optimal control problem. We propose a new method for studying the global asymptotic stability of dynamical systems with a cylindrical phase space with a countable equilibrium position based on a non-singular transformation of the equation of motion and estimation of improper integrals along the solution of the system. Conditions for global asymptotic stability were obtained without involving any periodic Lyapunov function, as well as the frequency theorem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown with an example.
CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF MAGNESIUM ALLOYS NZ30K AND NZ30K ALLOYED WITH SILVER IN THE MODEL SOLUTION OF THE OSTEOSYNTHESIS PROCESS
Authors:   National University «Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic»: Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, Greshta V.L.
Published: September 2024

The corrosion behaviour of magnesium alloys NZ30K and NZ30K alloyed with 0.1 wt.% silver in Ringer's Locke solution has been studied, since their components are not toxic to the human body and do not cause clinical complications in the treatment of bone fractures, and silver has antibacterial properties inherent in antibiotics. It has been found that the Ecor potential of the silver-alloyed NZ30K sample was -1.57V during the first 100 seconds of testing, but then it intensively shifted to the positive side to -1.54V within 512 seconds at a rate of 0.051 mV/s, which decreased to 0.014 mV/s after the next 1000 seconds, and a stationary value of the potential Ecor on the sample has been recorded. The sample to uniform general corrosion has been subjected, and the improvement of its potential Ecor during its corrosion study was due to the most intense selective dissolution of magnesium, which has the most negative value of the standard potential among the alloy components, and the enrichment of its surface with Zn, Nd, Zr, Ag, which have a positive value of the standard potential. This trend contributed to a decrease in the rate of general corrosion and made it impossible to develop local corrosion. The NZ30K alloy alloyed with 0.1 wt.% silver is recommended for further potentiodynamic and volumetric corrosion studies to justify its selection as a structural material for the production of biodegradable implants in osteosynthesis.

Published: September 2024

Studying the properties of graphite recovered from operating nuclear reactors is vital for predicting the properties and integrity of graphite as part of assessing the continued operation and life extension of nuclear reactors. The purpose of the study is to determine the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of low-ash medium-grained graphite’s grade graphite in the thermal column masonry of the VVR-SM research reactor in the measurement temperature range corresponding to the conditions of normal operation of the reactor to determine the service life. In this work, the change in thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of GMZ graphite was studied, as well as for comparison of Hanford grade graphite depending on the fluence of fast neutrons and the measurement temperature. The dependence of electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity on dose and temperature has been established. It has been shown that the greater the neutron fluence, the more both the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of the material decreases. The service life of the thermal column has been determined.
EFFECT OF ANNEALING DURATION ON PHOTOCATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF LaFeO3 PEROVSKITE
Authors:   Karaganda University named after academician E.A. Buketov, Zhanbirbayeva P.A.
Published: September 2024

In this paper, the effect of the annealing duration on the photocatalytic properties of lanthanum ferrite perovskite synthesized by the hydrothermal method is investigated. Lanthanum ferrite was chosen as the object of study due to its high activity under the influence of visible light. During the experiments, the structural changes occurring in the material during annealing during 2, 4 and 6 hours were studied. The main attention was paid to the analysis of the morphology of nanoparticles, phase composition, crystallinity, absorption spectra and photocatalytic activity. The results show that an increase in the annealing time leads to an improvement in the crystal structure, an increase in the size of crystallites and a higher level of oxygenation. The optimal annealing time to achieve maximum photocatalytic activity was determined to be 6 hours. The work confirms the prospects of using long-term annealing to improve the photocatalytic properties of perovskite-based materials.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) culture in the context of the culture of working society
Authors: Machulin L.
Published: September 2024

A problem-thematic analysis of the most important problems associated with the appearance of a chatbot with generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) in human life is presented. The process of formation of the ChatGPT culture over the past few years, its sources and prospects are considered. The concept of the culture of a working society is outlined — a set of values, norms, traditions and institutions that emphasize the importance of labor, production and interaction between people in many respects for the organization of society and the satisfaction of its needs. Through the lens of working society culture, the author postulates, firstly, that ChatGPT reinforces the growing trend of the end of working society. Secondly, the emergence of ChatGPT has activated the development of a culture of artificial intelligence (AI). Thirdly, the AI culture formed by man is, in fact, a counterversion to the culture of the working society formed over the last five hundred years — the culture of a “non-working society”. The author comes to the conclusion about the need to rethink the utopian and communist future proposed by thinkers and philosophers.
From the History of Ukrainian cinema of the Central Rada period (1917–1918)
Authors: Rosliak R.
Published: September 2024

The relevance of this article. For a long time, the history of national cinematography from the specified period remained largely unexplored. The archives of newspapers and magazines from that era were declassified only after Ukraine declared its independence, which facilitated the creation of objective studies in film history from that period. The proposed topic is relevant both theoretically and practically. Theoretically, it involves investigating lesser-known and even undiscovered aspects of Ukrainian cinema history, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the subject. Practically, it addresses the necessity of applying historical experiences (both positive and negative) to contemporary filmmaking practices.
The purpose of the article is to analyze the activities of state authorities, focusing on the theater department and the cinematography department, regarding the development of the national film industry in 1917–1918. The analysis covers the creation of cinematographic infrastructure and film libraries, the organization and implementation of film production, the promotion of film screenings, and the creation of a regulatory and legal framework.
The methodology. In the research, we apply principles of objectivity, historicism, and a systematic approach, as well as problem-chronological, historical-comparative, and other research methods to conduct our analysis.
The results. This article explores some issues of the development of Ukrainian cinema during the Central Rada period (1917–1919). A new stage in the history of cinema is associated with the active national and cultural revival of Ukraine after the February Revolution of 1917. The tasks of the first state cinema institutions — primarily the theater department of the General Secretariat of Public Education, and later the cinematographic section — involved finding venues for national cinemas, acquiring suitable technical equipment, and assembling a film library focused on educational and scientific content. Alongside these efforts, work was underway to organize and carry out filming and screenings. During this time, lawmaking activities aimed at streamlining the film process began. Although not all plans came to fruition, the activities of these institutions laid the foundation for the subsequent development of national cinema during the Hetmanate era.
The scientific novelty consists in corrects the date of the establishment of the cinematographic section and, for the first time, comprehensively analyze the activities of state bodies in the field of cinema.
The practical significance. The results of the study can be applied to the preparation of comprehensive papers on the history of Ukrainian cinema and the development of relevant educational courses.

Aim. To study the features of the pathogenesis and clinical picture of musculoskeletal disorders in various categories of military personnel of the Navy (Navy) and pensioners of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (MOD) based on a set of clinical, instrumental and laboratory data. Design. Prospective observational study. Materials and methods. An examination was carried out and the medical documentation was studied of 98 military personnel of the Navy and pensioners of the Defense Ministry in the following groups: I — military personnel of the Navy without a history of exposure to hyperbaria, II — military personnel belonging to deep-sea divers with moderate work experience, III — military personnel belonging to deep-sea divers with significant work experience, IV — pensioners of the Ministry of Defense, whose professional activity was related to work on deep-sea vehicles (aquanauts), V — pensioners of the Ministry of Defense without a history of exposure to hyperbaria. The patients underwent a detailed laboratory and instrumental study of bone tissue metabolism, including digital radiography, osteodensitometry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography. Results. Significant osteo-articular changes of the type of dysbaric osteonecrosis were noted among Navy diving personnel, most pronounced among retired Navy personnel – aquanauts. Conclusion. Osteoarticular changes in Navy diving personnel are of a specific dysbarogenic nature, polyetiological, localized in large joints and diaphyses of adjacent bones and become significant as the length of service, the severity of the work performed and occupational risks in hyperbaric conditions increase. Digital radiography and MRI are recognized as the optimal methods for diagnosing dysbaric osteonecrosis and “dysbarogenic osteoarthropathy”. As a rapid diagnostic method, it is advisable to use innovative urine test strips that allow determining the threshold concentrations of bone resorption markers — β-crosslaps and α-crosslaps. Keywords: diving personnel of the Navy, aquanauts, dysbaric osteonecrosis and "dysbarogenic osteoarthropathy", etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis.
Whole Abdominopelvic Radiotherapy (WAPRT) for a Patient with Refractory Peritoneal Angiomatosis: A Case Report
Authors: Thielen Ine Van
Published: September 2024

Angiomatosis is a rare, benign condition characterized by the widespread proliferation of blood vessels with accompanying mature adipose tissue, affecting multiple tissue types or compartments. Although it is a histologically benign disease, it can cause significant morbidity due to its extensive lesions and the high recurrence rate associated with surgical removal. Given the limited clinical experience, no established consensus for the optimal treatment approach exists. We report a case of a 60-year-old patient who was diagnosed with diffuse peritoneal angiomatosis following recurrent symptoms of abdominal pain. Despite receiving various pharmacological treatments including methylprednisolone, propranolol, thalidomide and sirolimus, the patient repeatedly developed a hemoperitoneum and infectious complications. The patient’s persistent symptoms and frequent hospitalizations prompted the use of whole abdominopelvic radiotherapy (WAPRT). This treatment resulted in significant symptomatic relief and reduction in angiomatosis. This case suggests that radiotherapy may be a viable palliative treatment for severe angiomatosis when other treatments fail.

The clinical case described below deals with the diagnosis and treatment of a fungal infection in the nasal region, rare in immunocompetent patients and with few reports in the literature. A 49-year-old woman from the south of Brazil, with no previous comorbidities, began to suffer from swelling in the right nasal and orbital region for around 4 weeks, accompanied by intense pain, fever and drainage of purulent secretion from the nostril. The first biopsy was inconclusive, but subsequent biopsies led to the identification of a fungal infection and finally the diagnosis of histoplasmosis. Treatment with antifungal drugs was then started, which consequently allowed the condition to improve after several hospitalizations.

Introduction. In recent years, the prevalence of dysmetabolic nephropathies (DN) in children has been increasing, constituting a significant portion of the overall structure of kidney diseases in this age group.
Aim. To elucidate the role of genetic and epigenetic components in the pathogenesis of dysmetabolic nephropathy with oxalate-calcium crystalluria in children using the methods of G. Edwards and D. Falconer.
Materials and methods. A genealogical history was collected for 108 children aged 6 to 18 years with dysmetabolic nephropathy and 65 healthy children from the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Data were collected on 1076 relatives of affected children of I-II-III degrees of relatedness and 676 relatives of healthy children. Calculation of the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the occurrence of multifactorial diseases in children was carried out using the model proposed by G. Edwards and G. Smith, and the heritability coefficient for susceptibility to these diseases was calculated using D. Falconer's model.
Results and discussion. In the pathogenesis of dysmetabolic nephropathy in children, the genetic component plays a significant role, being 2-3 times greater than in the general population. The heritability coefficient for susceptibility to dysmetabolic nephropathy is very high: for first-degree relatives of affected children – 24%, for second-degree relatives – 20.9%, and for third-degree relatives, it does not differ from the population average – 3.6%.
Conclusions. 1. If a family has a child with dysmetabolic nephropathy or a relative with metabolic pathology, the risk of dysmetabolic nephropathy in the second child is higher according to the G. Edward's and G. Smith's models is very high – 36.76% and 48.81%. 2. For relatives of sick children of the first degree of consanguinity, the inheritance rate of predisposition to dysmetabolic nephropathy is very high – 24% and 22%, respectively, in the observation groups and does not depend on the variant of the course of dysmetabolic nephropathy, nor on who is sick – parents or siblings. 3. The risk of having dysmetabolic nephropathy for relatives of the second degree of consanguinity of children with dysmetabolic nephropathy is also quite high – 20.9%. For relatives of the third degree – 3.6%.

Aim. Determining the features of safety culture, the assessment by using the method of analysis of hierarchies based on the survey of teachers of clinical departments of the dental profile and establishing its main stages.
Materials and methods. The research was conducted on the basis of departments of stomatological profile O. O. Bogomolets National Medical University using hygienic, medical sociological and statistical methods, which should be considered a prerequisite for the implementation of the method of analysis of hierarchies (methodology of group examination followed by ranking and pairwise comparison).
Results. Based on the application of the method of analysis of hierarchies based on a survey of teachers of clinical departments of the dental profile, the leading components of safety culture were determined, namely: the degree of influence on the level of safety culture and the patient's body of the leading characteristics of dangerous actions of medical personnel related to the operation of equipment, the organization of medical and diagnostic process, use of means of individual and collective protection (component No. 1); the degree of influence on the level of safety culture and the patient’s organism of both strengths and weaknesses in creating the safety of the treatment environment through the culture of awareness, reporting, justice, training (component No. 2), the degree of influence on the level of safety culture and the patient's organism of hygienic and safe working conditions at the workplace of medical personnel (component No. 3), as well as a scientifically based algorithm for assessing the level of safety culture in modern health care institutions.
Conclusions. The created algorithm for analytical assessment of the level of safety culture in modern health care institutions provides for the implementation of the following stages: determination of the structural features of the leading components of safety culture and the development of a scoring scale for their evaluation; carrying out an expert assessment of the leading components of the safety culture and establishing the degree of consistency of experts' opinions; calculation of the weighting coefficients of the influence of various components on the formation of a certain level of safety culture; justification of objective statistical approaches to assessing the level of safety culture.

Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases are a global problem and one of the main causes of death worldwide.
Aim. To highlight and analyze modern approaches to the use in routine practice of risk factors for the development of cardiovascular pathology, which is appropriate for further clinical decision-making based on a meta-analysis of literary sources, clinical guidelines and the results of multicenter studies.
Materials and methods. The search and selection of publications, systematic reviews and current recommendations is carried out using PubMed and Google Scholar databases, their detailed analysis and description.
Results and discussion. The article provides data on primary prevention, which includes assessment and implementation of measures to reduce the overall risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in patients. Methods for assessing individual total or relative risk (use of SCORE and SCORE 2 scales, various risk calculators, etc.) taking into account the level of cholesterol and its various fractions are given. The importance of taking into account additional independent risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases is also considered. The possibility of taking into account the level of lipoprotein (a), high-density lipoprotein, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein to improve the accuracy of predicting cardiovascular risk is discussed. Attention is paid to the possibility of using such "non-metabolic" factors as environmental pollution, psychosocial stress and stressful conditions, sleep disorders and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, family history and genetic factors to change the risk category.
Conclusions. The results of the conducted analysis prove that the given methods and importance of detection of subclinical atherosclerosis especially in patients with low or medium (marginal) cardiovascular risk. The use of both primary and secondary risk factors may be appropriate to inform decisions about changes in the calculated risk of such patients, the use and effectiveness of specific cardiac treatments, and the implementation of preventive measures such as statin therapy.

Digital transformation reflects the process of transition of society and business to new technologies in order to improve operations and provide new opportunities. This process includes the introduction of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud services, and many other technologies to improve business results. Such a transition promises us a number of advantages, including: flexibility and efficiency of digital processes due to total computerization; increasing the efficiency of production processes due to the Internet of Things, cloud computing and automation; improving interaction with customers based on artificial intelligence. This is far from a complete list of Digital Transformation technologies. But no matter how many technologies appear in the future, all of them, along with their advantages, create new challenges for cyber security, including those based on social engineering methods. Social engineering is manipulative and deceptive methods used to obtain confidential information, access systems, or gain control over people through the use of psychological and social mechanisms. The article examines known cases of cyberattacks using social engineering. It is shown that neither small nor large companies are immune from social engineering. The basic model of social engineering, which is based on the tendency of people to transfer all information and perform illogical actions, was studied. Social engineering technologies were analyzed: Pretexting, Phishing, Road apple, Shoulder surfing, Service for service. Potential threats from social engineering methods for systems: SCADA, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, Drones, Big Data, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Social Networks are assessed. The key means of countering social engineering in the era of digital transformation have been identified. Conclusions are made regarding the impact of social engineering in the future.
