Authors: Herasimov V. , Holovan А. , Holovan V. , Mashtaler A.
Published: June 2022

An analysis of the content and features of works on the extension of the assigned service life is presented, a method for determining the average value of the residual resource is developed, and the necessary number of technical products and the duration of observations for the extension of the resource are estimated.
The experience of the Joint Forces operation in the east of the country has revealed significant shortcomings in the reliability of armaments and military equipment during operation, which are primarily due to the fact that the condition of a significant number of samples of weapons in operation is close to the limit.
Therefore, it is considered appropriate, based on the analysis of the content and features of work to extend the service life (resource) of samples of weapons and military equipment, to develop a methodology for determining the average value of residual resources and assess the required number of samples of weapons and duration of observations.
For most models of armaments and military equipment involved in a joint force operation, this problem can be partially addressed by adjusting (extending) the assigned service life (resource).
The accumulated experience of development and operation of armaments and military equipment shows that in some cases the duration of operation of armaments may exceed the normative terms specified in the technical documentation. Therefore, it is very important to have methods for calculating their residual resource for statistically significant support of the decision-making process in the implementation of their development plans.
To achieve the result, work on extending the assigned service life (resource) of weapons samples is analyzed on the basis of data on their operation or using methods of accelerated consumption of resources and service life and determine the average value of their residual life based on operational tests. To solve this problem, an analysis of the content and features of work to extend the service life (resource), developed a method and content for determining the average value of the residual resource and estimated the required number of samples of weapons and the duration of their observations when extending the resource.
The analysis of works on extension of the appointed service life (resource) of samples of armament and military equipment testifies to expediency of use of this tool of improvement of their reliability at operation.
Further research should focus on the economic assessment of the size of the resource that is being extended, as solving the problem of improving the reliability of the operation of weapons models by extending the resource is associated with certain economic costs. And this, in the end, saves the much-needed resources.

The analysis of the formation of spring runoff on the rivers of the Russian Plain is presented. A brief review of the studies dealing with the dynamics of individual climate characteristics and river floods on the Russian Plain in the past 40 years is given. It was shown that as a result of climate change and anthropogenic impact on the formation of snowmelt runoff, not incoming but outgoing factors causing its loss have become decisive. The scheme of the spring flood formation factors was developed and verified for the rivers of the Don basin, which is the most complex one in terms of the spring flood formation. According to the verification for 11 catchments situated in the Don basin, three most significant factors of the spring flood formation were identified: the absence of the significant correlation between the spring flood runoff and snow water equivalent; an increasing role of soil moisture and freezing depth; a great role of the snowmelt rate during the period just before the spring flood. The results allow making a conclusion on a possibility of applying this research scheme in other regions. Keywords: spring flood runoff, Don basin rivers, dynamic, quasi-permanent, and anthropogenic factors

The background environmental monitoring station in the Karadag Nature Reserve is the only point for routine measurements (since 2010) of surface ozone on the Black Sea coast of the Russian Federation. Surface ozone observations at the station over the past five years are discussed. An insignificant interannual variability of surface ozone is shown as compared to the previous years. Seasonal and diurnal variations in surface ozone averaged over the period of 2017–2021 generally coincide with the previous period and are comparable with the typical variations at foreign Mediterranean stations. The surface ozone regime at the analyzed station is characterized by an insignificant diurnal amplitude: it is about 5 μg/m3 in winter and increases by almost 3–4 times in the warm season. However, due to increased nighttime ozone, it remains significantly smaller than at lowland stations. In the dark time of the day, surface ozone is 50–55 µg/m3 in winter and autumn and about 70 µg/m3 in spring and summer. The surface ozone regime is significantly affected by the breeze circulation and, at night, by slope winds providing the influx of ozone from the free troposphere. At the background monitoring station, surface ozone values approaching the maximum single permissible concentration of ozone (MPCm.s.) are occasionally recorded. In spring, such events are associated with the movement of the upper-level frontal zone over the region. The registered cases of exceeding MPCm.s. were observed in the plumes of air polluted in remote areas and spreading to Crimea. Keywords: surface ozone, Karadag Nature Reserve, seasonal and diurnal variation, maximum permissible concentration of ozone
Dense Eulerian Graphs are $(1, 3)$-Choosable
Authors: Lu Huajing , Zhu Xuding
Published: June 2022

A graph $G$ is total weight $(k,k')$-choosable if for any total list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $k$ real numbers, and each edge $e$ a set $L(e)$ of $k'$ real numbers, there is a proper total $L$-weighting, i.e., a mapping $f: V(G) \cup E(G) \to \mathbb{R}$ such that for each $z \in V(G) \cup E(G)$, $f(z) \in L(z)$, and for each edge $uv$ of $G$, $\sum_{e \in E(u)}f(e)+f(u) \ne \sum_{e \in E(v)}f(e) + f(v)$. This paper proves that if $G$ decomposes into complete graphs of odd order, then $G$ is total weight $(1,3)$-choosable. As a consequence, every Eulerian graph $G$ of large order and with minimum degree at least $0.91|V(G)|$ is total weight $(1,3)$-choosable. We also prove that any graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $0.999|V(G)|$ is total weight $(1,4)$-choosable.

Published: June 2022

We proposed new two-parameter estimators to solve the problem called multicollinearity for the logistic regression model in this paper. We have derived these estimators’ properties and using the mean squared error (MSE) criterion; we compare theoretically with some of existing estimators, namely the maximum likelihood, ridge, Liu estimator, Kibria-Lukman, and Huang estimators. Furthermore, we obtain the estimators for k and d. A simulation is conducted in order to compare the estimators' performances. For illustration purposes, two real-life applications have been analyzed, that supported both theoretical and a simulation. We found that the proposed estimator, which combines the Liu estimator and the Kibria-Lukman estimator, has the best performance.
SETTLING OF THE FOREST-STEPPE OF DNIEPER LEFT BANK AREA IN THE 6TH CENTURY BC: THE POPULATION EXPLOSION OR NEW MIGRATION?
Authors: Grechko D. S.
Published: June 2022

The paper is devoted to one of the important pages of the ethnic and cultural history of the population of the forest-steppe of Dnieper Left Bank area in the Scythian Age — settling of the forest-steppe parts of the basins of Sula, Psel, Seim, Seversky Donets and Middle Don rivers.

The analysis of material culture of new sites in the region allowed us to make several conclusions. Most of the handmade pottery forms and the main decorative elements of the ceramic complex of the sites of Eastern Bil’s’k type dating to the middle — second half of the 6th century BC are genetically related to the forest-steppe of Dnieper Right Bank area and to more western regions of forest-steppe. Materials from the Vorskla sites of the second half of 6th century BC are significantly differ and continue the local traditions of the previous time. The differences are clearly visible when comparing the material culture of that time of Western and Eastern fortifications of the Bil’s’k settlement. This indicates that the settlements of the Dnieper-Donets forest-steppe at this time did not reason due to the demographic explosion in the Vorskla and Psel interfluves. The set of the jewelry and a costume of the migrants of the mid-6th century BC at the forest-steppe of Dnieper Left Bank area has straight analogies among the materials of the Right Bank of the Early Scythian Age.

It can be assumed that the initial migration areas could have been the Kyiv Dnieper region, the eastern and western Podolyan groups of the sites where the settlement systems and burials disappeared simultaneously. The participation of the population from Ros’ river and other regions in this process can’t be ruled out.

Thus, in the development of the settlement system of the forest-steppe of Dnieper Left Bank area two main events that radically influenced the settling of the region by the sedentary population during the Scythian Age can be distinguished. First, during the Zhabotin period, on the territory of the Lower Vorskla and the Vorskla and Psel interfluve the settlements of the migrants from the forest-steppe of Dnieper Right Bank area appeared. In the Middle Scythian Age, as a result of the new movement of the tribes from the west, a ramified settlement system emerged. New migrants have created the settlements that are geographically united into several local groups: two in Sula, Vorskla and Seim basins, three in Psel and one each in Uday, Merle and Kolomak basins. It is interesting that new groups of the population bypassed in their resettlement the territories occupied at that time by migrants of the Zhabotin period.
«CIMMERO-SCYTHIAN» ANTIQUITIES FROM CENTRAL ANATOLIA
Authors: Makhortykh S. V.
Published: June 2022

Central Anatolia is one of the regions of Western Asia, where the most significant concentration of archaeological materials connected with the Eurasian nomads of the Early Scythian period is recorded. The flat plains of Central Anatolia had good pastures and served as a space where different cultures communicated with each other since ancient times. In the 7th—6th centuries BC this territory was located between Western Anatolia with Lydia and the eastern Greek centers and Eastern Anatolia, which was the zone of interest of Urartu and Assyria. Small local «principalities» were localized here. These «principalities» were probably controlled by well-armed and mobile nomads, who used this territory as a base for raids on neighboring as well as more distant regions. Finds of nomadic types from Central Anatolia include weapons (bronze arrowheads of various types, iron sword and axe, bimetallic pickaxe), horse equipment (bits with stirrup-shaped loops on the ends, three-looped cheekpieces, harness fittings), and objects made in the traditions of Scythian animal art style. Most numerous category of nomad inventory coming from the region is constituted by socketed arrows found in burials in the province of Amasya, Imirler, Gordion and on the local settlements (Boğazköy, Kaman-Kalehöyük, Kerkenes Dağ). The article introduces their typology and provides analogies coming from the Eurasian monuments of the 7th—6th centuries BC. The study of early nomadic complexes from Anatolia shows their syncretic nature, which is influenced by artifacts of Cimmerian, Scythian, and Сentral Asian origin as well as the local Near Eastern items. It highlights the complex ethnic composition of the nomadic groups located here in the 7th—6th centuries BC that does not allow attributing all these materials to a single group, for example, the Cimmerians.

Published: June 2022

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo desarrollar una propuesta metodológica para estudiar los aspectos ocultos e infravalorados de las imágenes de vestir: las estructuras internas y los sistemas de construcción, ensamblajes y articulaciones, y la puesta en valor de estos estudios como modelo de análisis estilístico y técnico que permitan profundizar en el conocimiento de la autoría, avatares e intervenciones de las imágenes. Además, se persigue establecer una serie de recomendaciones para la conservación-restauración de estas imágenes de vestir. Para ello, un aspecto fundamental ha sido esclarecer el concepto de “imagen de vestir” y el reconocimiento de sus diferentes tipologías, paso previo indispensable para lograr una puesta en valor efectiva. La metodología se ha aplicado a una imagen del siglo XVII de Sto. Domingo de Guzmán, lo que ha permitido atribuirla a Juan de Mesa y Velasco (1583-1627), famoso escultor imaginero de la escuela sevillana del siglo XVII.

Review question / Objective: The objective of this review is to analyze the effect of zero-tillage and organic mulching (with emphasis on rice-straw) on several Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to productivity, resources-use efficiency, and soil health, as well as, C footprint, and weed control for growing potatoes in rice-based systems in Asia. Can zero-tillage and organic mulching increase agronomic gain in potatoes crop in Asia? Rationale: Potato cultivation under zero-tillage and mulching (PZTM) between rice or rice-other crops projects a sustainable intensification of rice-based systems reducing mechanical soil disturbance with a concomitant increase of soil organic matter. However, collection, analysis, and synthesis of experiences in Asia, where this technology was mainly reported, is missing in the scientific literature. This effort, presented in this review, is crucial as a starting point for establishing if PTZM experiences have improved indicators related to productivity, resource use efficiency and soil health, and C footprint and weed management to achieve Agronomic Gain.

L-arginine is a naturally occurring quasi amino acid. The treatment of high amounts of Larginine was already demonstrated to cause acute pancreatitis. Daidzein is a naturally occurring isoflavone flavonoid discovered from Pueraria mirifica and belongs to the group of physiologically active secondary metabolites. Anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, and cardiac actions are all established uses. The objective of this paper is to see if diadzein can prevent rats from developing acute pancreatitis caused by L-arginine. Five groups of Wistar rats were assigned randomly i.e., saline, L-arginine, methyl prednisolone, and diadzein with L-arginine. Rats were killed three days after receiving the final dosage of diadzein, and blood was taken for biochemical examination of amylase, lipase, C-reactive protein, TNF-α, IL-6, superoxide dismutase, lipid peroxidation, glutathione, and catalase. The isolated pancreatic tissue was subjected to histopathological examinations. When contrasted to the disease and normal control groups, diadzein therapy dramatically reduced amylase, lipase, C-reactive protein, TNF-α, IL-6, and lipid peroxidation while increasing superoxide dismutase and glutathione levels. Furthermore, histological examination revealed that diadzein administration reduced pancreatic acinar cell damage compared to rats given L-arginine alone, perhaps due to the reduction of oxidative stress. More research on the actual molecular process is required. Keywords: L-arginine, pancreatitis, diadzein, amylase, antioxidant enzymes

Published: June 2022

Background: Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is a successful therapeutic modality for Graves’ disease. However, RAI therapy can fail, and RAI therapy after antithyroid drugs (ATDs) has a lower remission rate. Therefore, many patients require repeated RAI therapy. This study investigated the clinical outcomes of repeated RAI therapy for Graves’ disease.Methods: Patients who underwent RAI therapy as second-line therapy after failure of ATD treatment between 2001 and 2015 were reviewed. Remission was defined as hypothyroid or euthyroid status without ATD, and with or without levothyroxine at 12 months after RAI therapy.Results: The 1-year remission rate after 2nd RAI therapy (66%, 152/230) is significantly higher than that after 1st RAI therapy (48%, 393/815) or long-term ATD treatment after 1st RAI therapy failure (42%). The clinical response to 2nd RAI therapy was more rapid. The median time intervals from the 2nd RAI therapy to ATD discontinuation (1.3 months) and to the start of levothyroxine replacement (2.5 months) were significantly shorter than those for the 1st RAI therapy. A smaller goiter size, a longer time interval between the 1st and 2nd RAI therapies, and a longer ATD discontinuation period predicted remission after the 2nd RAI therapy. Finally, in 78 patients who failed the 2nd RAI therapy, the mean ATD dosage significantly reduced 5.1 mg over 12 months.Conclusion: Repeated RAI therapy can be a good therapeutic option, especially in patients with smaller goiters and those who are more responsive to the 1st RAI therapy.

In the context of the challenges of the neoindustrial stage of the economy, the problem of priority development of human capital industries, the search for new mechanisms to ensure high quality of their growth is being actualized. This problem is particularly acute in relation to the population of rural areas, which are significantly inferior to the city in terms of quality of life. The purpose of this study is to determine the allocative efficiency of social service producers in rural areas, and then compare these indicators with the expansion of the non-state sector of social service producers. The study is based on the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of models for the development of social services, which differ in the nature of the allocation of public resources and the degree of participation of the state, private entrepreneurs and non –profit organizations as alternative participants in the organizational and economic mechanism for providing social benefits. A methodology for assessing allocative efficiency is proposed to justify ways to adapt the development of social services in rural areas to modern conditions. The results of the study show that mainly allocative efficiency is characteristic of the subjects of the public sector and the sphere of social services. These subjects form a larger output with the same attracted resources, which is a key constraint in attracting commercial and nonprofit organizations to the social sphere. The low allocative efficiency of non-state producers of social services explains the lack of proactive development of commercial and non-commercial entities in the field of social services and the corresponding growth in the output of social services by these producers.

An essential part of the Exomars 2022 payload is the Mars Multispectral Imager for Subsurface Studies (Ma_MISS) experiment hosted by the drill system. Ma_MISS is a visible and near-infrared (0.4–2.3 μm) miniaturized spectrometer with an optical head inside the drill tip capable of observing the drill borehole with a spatial resolution of 120 μm. Here we report on how the Ma_MISS hyperspectral information provides in situ investigation of the subsurface at very fine resolution, prior to the collection of the samples that will be manipulated and crushed for further analysis by the analytical laboratory on the rover. Ma_MISS is the instrument that will closely investigate the subsurface mineralogical characteristics in its original geologic context at depths never reached before in Mars exploration. Ma_MISS recognizes all the major spectral features of the clays, basaltic, and minor phases expected at the ExoMars landing site, Oxia Planum. The high spatial resolution on the borehole wall is such that single grains of about 100 μm can be distinguishable in the assemblage of minerals observed by Ma_MISS. The spatial distribution of the mineralogies within the borehole walls is associated with the rocks and the processes that put these materials in place and possibly altered them with time, characterizing the habitats found in the stratigraphic record, indicating which ones are the most suitable to have held or to be holding nowadays traces of life.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting which is still above the limit set by WHO, requires all parties to be involved in preventing stunting. To overcome this problem, the government is strengthening basic health efforts through the Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach. AIM: This study aims to determine the relationship between the index of healthy families and the incidence of stunting among toddlers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The design of this study was cross-sectional. The population in this study were all families with children aged 0–59 months who were in the working area of the Korobono Health Center. Based on the preliminary study, the number of children aged 0–59 months was 544 people. The number of sample was 202 selected by simple random sampling. Chi-square tests were used to examine the association between stunting and health family index and other related factors. RESULTS: The prevalence of stunting was 36.1%. Hypothesis test results show a relationship between the index of healthy families and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Increasing the healthy family index can reduce the risk of stunting in the family. This research is expected to be an input for the public health center to improve the implementation and evaluation of the Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach.

Technology development causes easy access to various sectors, including ordering food online. Fast food is one of the foods that many people reviewed in online applications that are high in fat with a density of 40% of total calories. Meanwhile, the consumption of vegetables and fruits of Indonesia’s people is still inadequate; only 63.3% consume as recommended. These things will undoubtedly increase the body mass index (BMI) and increase the risk of overweight and obesity. This study aims to analyze the impact of online order development on fast food, vegetables, and fruits consumption behavior on students in Surabaya. This descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled 317 students in Surabaya City, East Java, Indonesia. The online survey collected data through online platforms, SurveyMonkey. Data were analyzed in statistical software SPSS 25.0 using multivariate binomial linear regression test. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Regression analysis shows that the habit of ordering boba drinks with a weekly frequency has a significant relationship with the incidence of overweight/obesity in respondents (p = 0.015; OR = 3.037; 95% CI (1.236-7.462)) when compared to respondents who have the habit of ordering and consuming boba drinks every month. Consumption habits of boba drink are associated with higher body mass index (BMI), increasing the risk of overweight and obesity. A policy from the government and related parties is needed to regulate boba consumption limits for the community.

The data we present are part of the long-term project “SLAM Project - Long Term Ecological Study of the Impacts of Climate Change in the Natural Forest of Azores” that started in 2012, aiming to understand the impact of biodiversity erosion drivers on Azorean native forests (Azores, Macaronesia, Portugal). The data for the current study consist in an inventory of arthropods collected in three locations of a native forest fragment at Terra-Brava protected area (Terceira, Azores, Portugal) aiming to test the impact of edge effects on Azorean arthropod communities. The three locations were: (i) the edge of the forest, closer to the pastures; (ii) an intermediate area (100 m from edge); and (iii) the deepest part of the native forest fragment (more than 300 m from edge). The study was carried out between June 2014 and December 2015. A total of nine passive flight interception SLAM (Sea, Land and Air Malaise) traps were deployed (three in each of the studied locations), during 18 consecutive months. This study provides the raw data to investigate temporal and edge effect variation for the Azorean arthropod communities.

The collected arthropods belong to a wide diversity of taxonomic groups of Arachnida, Diplopoda, Chilopoda and Insecta classes. We collected a total of 13,516 specimens from which it was possible to identify to species level almost all specimens (13,504). These identified specimens belong to 15 orders, 58 families (plus three with only genus or family level identification) and 97 species of arthropods. A total of 35 species are considered introduced, 34 native non-endemic and 28 endemic. Additionally, a total of 10 taxa (12 specimens) were recorded at genus, family or order level. This dataset will allow researchers to test the impact of edge effect on arthropod biodiversity and to investigate seasonal changes in Azorean arthropod native forest communities.

Body size is perhaps the most fundamental property of an organism and is central to ecology at multiple scales, yet obtaining accurate estimates of ecologically meaningful size metrics, such as body mass, is often impractical. Allometric scaling and mass-to-mass relationships have been used as alternative approaches to model the expected body mass of many species. However, models for predicting body size in key herbivorous insects, such as grasshoppers, exist only at the family level. To address this data gap, we collected empirical body size data (hind femur length and width, pronotum length, live fresh mass, ethanol-preserved mass, and dry mass) from 368 adult grasshoppers of three flightless species at Hamilton Peak, Southern Alps, New Zealand. We examined the relationships among body size components across all species using linear and non-linear regression models. Femur length and preserved mass were robust predictors of both fresh mass and dry mass across all species; however, regressions using preserved mass as a predictor always showed higher predictive power than those using femur length. Based on our results, we developed species-specific statistical linear mixed-effects models to estimate the fresh and dry masses of individual grasshoppers from their preserved mass and femur length. Including sex as an additional co-variate increased model fit in some cases but did not produce better estimates than traditional mass-to-mass and allometric scaling regressions. Overall, our results showed that two easy-to-measure, unambiguous, highly repeatable, and non-destructive size measures (i.e., preserved mass and femur length) can predict, to an informative level of accuracy, fresh and dry body mass across three flightless grasshopper species. Knowledge about the relationships between body dimensions and body mass estimates in these grasshoppers has several important ecological applications, which are discussed.

Selon certaines critiques émises, les droits culturels, en permettant à chacun de s’exprimer et de prendre part aux décisions qui les concernent, encourageraient une forme d’anarchie voire de populisme dans la conduite des projets et des politiques et porteraient en germe une défiance vis-à-vis de la démocratie représentative. En fait, ils prônent surtout la coopération dans l’action et la gouvernance. Anne et Patrick Beauvillard exposent dans ce texte les enjeux d’une coopération bien menée.

Fractional operators with integral inequalities have attracted the interest of several mathematicians. Fractional inequalities are best utilized in mathematical science with their features and wide range of applications in optimization, modeling, engineering and artificial intelligence. In this article, we consider new variants of Simpson-Mercer type inequalities involving the Atangana-Baleanu (A-B) fractional integral operator for $ s $-convex functions. First, an integral identity, which acts as an auxiliary result for the main results is proved in the frame of fractional operator. Employing this new identity, some estimations of Simpson-Mercer type for $ s $-convex functions in the second sense are discussed. In addition, we study various new applications on Modified Bessel functions, special means and $ q $-digamma functions. These applications confirm the effectiveness and validity of the results and also bring a different dimension to the study.

Microarray and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) techniques each produce gene expression data that can be expressed as a matrix that often contains missing values. Thus, a process of missing-value imputation that uses coherence information of the dataset is necessary. Existing imputation methods, such as iterative bicluster-based least squares (bi-iLS), use biclustering to estimate the missing values because genes are only similar under correlative experimental conditions. Also, they use the row average to obtain a temporary complete matrix, but the use of the row average is considered to be a flaw. The row average cannot reflect the real structure of the dataset because the row average only uses the information of an individual row. Therefore, we propose the use of Bayesian principal component analysis (BPCA) to obtain the temporary complete matrix instead of using the row average in bi-iLS. This alteration produces new missing values imputation method called iterative bicluster-based Bayesian principal component analysis and least squares (bi-BPCA-iLS). Several experiments have been conducted on two-dimension independent gene expression datasets, which are microarray (e.g., cell-cycle expression dataset of yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae) and RNA-seq (gene expression data from schizosaccharomyces pombe) datasets. In the case of the microarray dataset, our proposed bi-BPCA-iLS method showed a significant overall improvement in the normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) values of 10.6% from the local least squares (LLS) and 0.6% from the bi-iLS. In the case of the RNA-seq dataset, our proposed bi-BPCA-iLS method showed an overall improvement in the NRMSE values of 8.2% from the LLS and 3.1% from the bi-iLS. The additional computational time of bi-BPCA-iLS is not significant compared to bi-iLS.
