Unusual Transformations of Iecava Manor Barn
Authors: Dirveiks Ilmārs
Published: November 2022

The article offers a study of the oldest building of Iecava manor – a stone barn that has survived after the devastating wars of the 20th century. The history and architecture of the construction of the barn until 2020 seemed to be known. The stone building has a weathercock dated 1797, and the construction time of the building is related to it. The architectural composition of the main façade and some carefully designed details allowed to hypothesize that the architect of the Duke of Courland S. Jensen is the author of the building. A building research study in 2021 found that in the second half of the 18th century, a wooden farmhouse with a basement (or on an existing basement) was built, having a gable roof with pitched ends and timber framed gables. The main façade had a roof overhang, and perhaps this façade was painted red, imitating a brick wall with grey seams. The current appearance of the stone barn was obtained after the exterior walls of the wooden building were replaced by masonry walls. It happened in the first decades of the 19th century. The building was transformed into a masonry structure, leaving the floor beams, ceiling beams, pediments and roof structure of the old wooden building, and expanded by moving the main façade wall ~ 1 m further apart. The function of the wooden building is not clear. Previous hypotheses about a malt in the 18th century are neither denied nor confirmed. The assumption that the brewery was the only brick building in the 1786 inventory is erroneous, as the building was originally made of wood.

Today, the barn is the oldest existing building in Iecava manor. This study is an example of the importance of structural thinking and knowledge of structures in architectural research. This knowledge is provided by architecture education that is different from formal analysis practiced in the art sciences.
The Time-traveling Lawyer: Using Time Travel Stories and Science Fiction in Legal Education
Authors: Zedalis Jennifer
Published: November 2022

Science fiction and time travel can be used to inform and enhance the education of law students in profound ways. Within the broader field of law and literature, the relationship between law and science fiction, especially time travel stories, is rich and useful. Themes and concepts in time travel can be applied in the exploration of existing legal philosophies as well as a more expansive and engaging study of power, authority, freedom, and a number of global issues. As governments and people worldwide wrestle with climate change, armed conflict, pandemics, and the increasing significance of artificial intelligence and other advances in technology, time travel stories give students unique contexts in which to consider what law is and the degree to which it defines human experience. For generations, brilliant science fiction writers have offered thought-provoking stories and worlds that law professors and their students can use to reimagine legal thought and practice. Like its close relatives, mythology and fantasy, the science fiction genre is untethered to current social or political experience or projections necessarily corrupted by narrowly conceived historical perspectives. Science fiction writers are interested in illuminating possibilities by considering identifiable problems in unidentifiable environments. It is no accident that gender identity, racism, reproductive rights, extremist ideologies, global health crises, and various recognizable forms of labor exploitation are addressed in provocative and insightful ways by a number of the best science fiction writers. Law has a strong presence in their work. Judges, law givers, ruling groups, and other less familiar forms of power and control appear in these stories and help to move and shape the experience of the time traveler. Law students can draw on the work of these writers to consider old questions in new and refreshingly broad ways. The importance of communication and access to information are also strong themes common to law and science fiction. How are concepts of truth and propaganda significant to power? Is truth necessary for legitimacy? Information technologies introduced in the science fiction world now exist in real time in forms and with speed and volume unimagined even a few decades ago. As artificial intelligence becomes dominant in many aspects of our daily lives, law students must consider how it may change law making, court procedures, entire legal systems, and perhaps even concepts of justice. As a project, law students might develop a case and conduct a trial using an AI judge or try a case to an AI jury. How human is the law? The role of emotional intelligence and concepts like mercy, restorative justice, forgiveness, or retribution are also things they might explore in seminars or other classes using science fiction literature and other time travel media as a framework.
The Power to Restrict Immigration and the Original Meaning of the Constitution's Define and Punish Clause
Authors: Natelson Robert G.
Published: November 2022

The Supreme Court and constitutional commentators have long struggled to identify the provision in the Constitution, if any, that grants Congress authority to restrict immigration. This article demonstrates that authority to restrict immigration is included within the Constitution's grant of power to Congress to “define and punish . . . Offenses against the Law of Nations.”

Published: November 2022

Introduction

COVID-19 is characterized by a procoagulant state that increases the risk of venous and arterial thrombosis. The dose of anticoagulants in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia without suspected or confirmed thrombosis has been debated.

Aim of the study

We evaluated the prevalence, predictors, and outcomes of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in critically ill COVID-19 patients and assessed the association between the dose of anticoagulants and outcomes.

Materials and methods

This retrospective cohort included patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to the ICU between March and July 2020. Patients with clinically suspected and confirmed VTE were compared to those not diagnosed to have VTE.

Results

The study enrolled 310 consecutive patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia: age 60.0±15.1 years, 67.1% required mechanical ventilation and 44.7% vasopressors. Most (97.1%) patients received anticoagulants during ICU stay: prophylactic unfractionated heparin (N=106), standard-dose enoxaparin (N=104) and intermediate-dose enoxaparin (N=57). Limb Doppler ultrasound was performed for 49 (15.8%) patients and chest computed tomographic angiography for 62 (20%). VTE was diagnosed in 41 (13.2%) patients; 20 patients had deep vein thrombosis and 23 had acute pulmonary embolism. Patients with VTE had significantly higher D-dimer on ICU admission. On multivariable Cox regression analysis, intermediate-dose enoxaparin versus standard-dose unfractionated heparin or enoxaparin was associated with lower VTE risk (hazard ratio, 0.06; 95% confidence interval, 0.01-0.74) and lower risk of the composite outcome of VTE or hospital mortality (hazard ratio, 0.42; 95% confidence interval, 0.23-0.78; p=0.006). Major bleeding was not different between the intermediate- and prophylactic-dose heparin groups.

Conclusions

In our study, clinically suspected and confirmed VTE was diagnosed in 13.2% of critically ill patients with COVID-19. Intermediate-dose enoxaparin versus standard-dose unfractionated heparin or enoxaparin was associated with decreased risk of VTE or hospital mortality.

Published: November 2022

The RECOVERY study documented lower 28-day mortality with the use of dexamethasone in hospitalized patients on invasive mechanical ventilation or oxygen with COVID-19 Pneumonia. We aimed to examine the practice patterns of steroids use, and their impact on mortality and length of stay in ICU. We retrospectively examined records of all patients with confirmed Covid 19 pneumonia admitted to the ICU of Dubai hospital from January 1st, 2020 – June 30th, 2020. We assigned patients to four groups (No steroids, low dose, medium dose, and high dose steroids). The primary clinical variable of interest was doses of steroids. Secondary outcomes were 28-day mortality and length of stay in ICU”. We found variability in doses of steroid treatment. The most frequently used dose was the high dose. Patients who survived were on significantly higher doses of steroids and had significantly longer stays in ICU. The prescription of steroids in Covid-19 ARDS is variable. The dose of steroids impacts mortality rate and length of stay in ICU, although patients treated with high dose steroids seem to stay more days in ICU.
Successful Extracorporeal Blood Purification Therapy Using Double Haemoadsorption Device in Severe Endotoxin Septic Shock: A Case Report
Authors: Ferraro Stefano , Bianzina Stefania , Mocka Sonila , Cappadona Francesca , Traverso Giovanni Battista , Massarino Fabio , Esposito Pasquale
Published: November 2022

Introduction

In patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), sepsis can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI), which may require the initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in 15-20% of cases. There is no consensus about the best extracorporeal treatment to choose in septic patients with AKI.

Case presentation

We describe the case of a 70-year-old woman admitted to the ICU with a severe endotoxin septic shock due to Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C. Despite prompt medical intervention, including fluid resuscitation, high dose vasopressor, inotrope support, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial treatment, in a few hours patient’s haemodynamic worsened and she developed multi-organ failure, including severe AKI, requiring CRRT. So, continuous veno-venous haemodiafiltration was started, using an oXiris® haemodiafilter set, in series with an adsorber device (CytoSorb®). After 48 hours of this combined extracorporeal treatment, haemodynamic parameters improved, allowing a significant reduction of the vasoactive therapy, with a concomitant decrease in endotoxin and inflammatory markers serum levels. In the following days patient’s conditions still improved and renal function recovered.

Conclusions

Timely extracorporeal blood purification therapy, using a double haemoadsorption device, may be effective in the management of severe septic shock.
Subject Area Risk Assessment of Four Hungarian Universities with a View to the QS University Rankings by Subject
Authors: Sasvári Péter , Urbanovics Anna
Published: November 2022

Purpose

The aim of our paper is to investigate the role of a mentor leading a research team in the overall scientific performance of an academic institution and the possible risks of their departure with a special attention to their publication output.

Design/methodology/approach

By using SciVal subject area data, we composed a formula describing the level of vulnerability of any given university in the case of losing any of its leading mentors, identifying other risk factors by dividing their careers into separate stages.

Findings

It turns out that the higher field-weighed citation impact is, the better position universities reach in the rankings by subject and the vulnerability of institutions highly depends on the mentors, especially in view of their contribution to the topic clusters.

Research limitations

The analysis covers the publication output of leading researchers working at four Hungarian universities, the scope of the analysis is worth being extended.

Practical implications

Our analysis has the potential to give an applicable systemic approach as well as a data collection scheme to university managements so as to formulate an inclusive and comprehensive research strategy involving the introduction of a reward system aimed at publications and further encouraging national and international research cooperation.

Originality/value

The methodology and the principles of risk assessment laid down in our paper are not restricted to measuring the vulnerability level of a limited group of academic institutions, they can be appropriately used for investigating the role of mentors or leading researchers at every university across the globe.
First Report of Belonolaimus longicaudatus Infecting Soybean in Indiana
Authors: Bonkowski John , Crow William T. , Habteweld Alemayehu
Published: November 2022

Soybeans (Glycine max) are an important crop for Indiana, playing a major role in the state’s economy. In June 2021, symptomatic soybean plants were submitted to Purdue University’s Plant and Pest Diagnostic Laboratory for diagnosis. Sting nematodes were observed on the surface of the washed roots using stereo- and brightfield compound microscopy. A total of 76 sting nematodes per 100 cm3 soil were recovered from a composite soil sample. Morphological features and measurements of adult females and males of the sting nematode population were similar to those described for Belonolaimus longicaudatus. Molecular analysis confirmed the morphological identification using D2-D3 expansion segment of the 28S large subunit ribosomal DNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. The consensus sequences were submitted to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database with accession numbers OM632679 and OM632681 for the D2-D3 and ITS regions, respectively. Parasitism of the sting nematode population to soybean plants was confirmed as its average population increased from 27 to 40 nematodes per pot 4 wk after inoculation under greenhouse conditions. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first report of the sting nematode B. longicaudatus in Indiana.
Research Progress on Calcium Ion in Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility
Authors: Guo Yanling , Qu Haiyong
Published: November 2022

Calcium ions are involved in plant self-incompatibility response as important signaling substances in cells. In the sporophytic self-incompatibility response, Ca2+ enters the stigma papilla cells and plays a key role in inhibiting incompatible pollen tube growth. In the gametophytic self-incompatibility reaction of Papaveraceae, the female determinants in the style (PrsS) and the male determinants in the pollen (PrpS) recognize each other, promote extracellular Ca2+ influx into the incompatible pollen tube, destroy the calcium ion gradient at the tip of the pollen tube, and inhibit the pollen tube growth. In the S-RNase-based Rosaceae game-tophytic self-incompatibility response, it is still unclear how the S-RNase interacts with the male determinant and how the S-RNase specifically degrades the RNA in the pollen tube. Therefore, we reviewed the research progress on the role of Ca2+ in self-incompatibility and, based on our research results, proposed a role model of Ca2+ as a signal substance in the gametophyte self-incompatibility response in Rosaceae.

Authors: Manson Eric Naab , Mumuni Abdul Nashirudeen , Shirazu Issahaku , Hasford Francis , Inkoom Stephen , Sosu Edem , Aikins Mark Pokoo , Mohammed Gedel Ahmed
Published: November 2022

Various materials and compounds have been used in the design of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWMRI) phantoms to mimic biological tissue properties, including diffusion. This review thus provides an overview of the preparations of the various DW-MRI phantoms available in relation to the limitations and strengths of materials/solutions used to fill them. The narrative review conducted from relevant databases shows that synthesizing all relevant compounds from individual liquids, gels, and solutions based on their identified strengths could contribute to the development of a novel multifunctional DW-MRI phantom. The proposed multifunctional material at varied concentrations, when filled into a multi-compartment Perspex container of cylindrical or spherical geometry, could serve as a standard DW-MRI phantom. The standard multifunctional phantom could potentially provide DW-MRI quality control test parameters in one study session.
Local diagnostic reference levels in diagnostic and therapeutic pediatric cardiology at a specialist pediatric hospital in South Africa
Authors: Mbewe Jonathan , Mjenxane Thembisa
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Children may be at a higher risk of experiencing the detrimental effects of ionizing radiation arising from medical radiation imaging. Dose optimisation is therefore recommended to provide assurance that their exposure is as low as reasonably achievable. To this end, periodic assessment of dose levels and establishment of Local Diagnostic Reference Levels (LDRLs) in medical facilities is necessary. There is a general paucity in the literature of data pertaining to dose levels in pediatric interventional radiology. This study establishes LDRLs in diagnostic and therapeutic heart catheterization procedures at a specialist pediatric hospital in a resource constrained country.

Material and methods: Dose indicators from actual patient procedures were collected from the archive and analyzed retrospectively to determine the median, 25th, and 75th percentiles of the total Air Kerma Area Product (KAP), Cumulative Air Kerma (CAK), total Fluoroscopy Time (FT), and a total number of Cine Images (CI) of selected interventional procedures. The dose indicators were also age-stratified into five age groups defined by the International Commission on Radiation Protection publication 135. The results were compared to values available from similar studies in the literature to benchmark our dose levels. Local Dose Reference Levels were set as the 75th percentile values.

Results: For diagnostic procedures (n = 80), the 75th percentiles of KAP, CAK, FT, and CI were 4.0 Gy·cm2, 31.5 mGy, 14.3 min, and 315 frames, respectively and 3.2 Gy·cm2, 30.5 mGy, 17.5 min, and 606 frames, respectively for therapeutic procedures (n = 143).

Conclusions: The LDRLs from this study did not vary significantly from those published in the literature, suggesting that practices at our center were comparable to international norms. Regular reviews of the LDRLs must be conducted to check that the dose levels do not deviate considerably.

Published: November 2022

The household sector has a significant role in the consumption of energy resources and related emissions. The household sector is responsible for around 1/3 of the total energy resource consumption in Latvia. This study aims to determine the level of control measures regarding household boilers by summarising the existing information on legislation and quality labels regulating the efficiency and emissions of household boilers in the EU. The focus is on PM emissions and small-scale heating system regulations in Latvia. The study shows that small-scale biomass heating systems lack proper control measures to limit created emissions. The situation regarding PM emissions is the worst in Latvia, in comparison to the EU and 8 other studied countries.
Hydronic Road-Heating Systems: Environmental Performance and the Case of Ingolstadt Ramps
Authors: Ahmed Arslan , Conti Fosca , Bayer Peter , Goldbrunner Markus
Published: November 2022

Snowfall and ice formation on road surface significantly impact the safety of driving conditions. To resolve this, every year salt and de-icing chemicals are sprinkled on roads. However, use of salts and snow ploughing have environmental as well as economical disadvantages. To resolve these problems, hydronic road heating systems are valid alternatives. Heat transfer fluid, i.e. mixture of ethanol and water, is pumped into a tubular circulation system under the asphalt. By this technology, the road and pavements shall stay ice-free even in times of snowfall and temperatures below the freezing point. The system can also be used to cool the asphalt in case of extreme heat, which – besides the heating effect – could also prevent road from damages in extreme summers. This study aims to compare the environmental impact of use of salts and road-heating system in terms of GHG emissions. To assess the environmental impact, an operational road heating system for a ramp in Ingolstadt, Germany, is considered. A cradle-to-grave analysis technique is used to determine the environmental effects based on a life-cycle assessment (LCA) framework. The analysis includes nine components solemnly responsible for hydronic heating of asphalt surface such as local heating pipe, insulation, pumps, and heat meters. Comparison is performed in terms of relative and total impact over 50-year lifetime of three heated ramps having 1989 m2 surface area in total. The results show that the asphalt and heating-circuit causes the major fraction (65 %) of overall GHG emissions, with total life-time emissions of 28.10 kg CO2 eq./m2 of heated surface. During an operational life of 50 years, road heating systems emit 18 % less CO2 eq./m2 as compared to the use of salts.
Analysis of a Grounding System In 20 Kv Distribution Transformer Line in PLTD Gayo Lues
Authors: Israq Israq , Muhammad Muhammad , Bintoro Andik , Pokhrel Biswas Babu
Published: November 2022

The main purpose of grounding is to create a low-impedance path to the earth's surface for electric waves and transient voltages. An effective grounding system will minimize these effects. The grounding system plays a very important role in the protection system. The grounding system is used as a fault current discharge path to the ground. According to its function, grounding is divided into 2, namely grounding the neutral point of the power system and grounding equipment. The neutral grounding of the power system serves as a safety system or network, while the grounding of the equipment functions as a safety against touch voltage. Measurement of the type of grounding electrode on a 20 kV distribution transformer at PT. PLN Rema Gayo Lues Area uses 2 rod electrodes with a grounding resistance value of 2 Ohms.
Editorial Essay

Published: November 2022

The word nomad, etymologically from the Greek word for pasture, evokes images of a pastoral landscape, a culture that relocates periodically, and suggests also that people's movement might occur in accordance with "rhythms of the landscape." Nomadic cultures, particularly those which survive today in the face of increasing cultural homogeneity, have long held a fascination for more settled cultures. NOMAD is not however, an anthropological investigation of differing nomadic cultures and their representation. Rather, the use of nomad as a theme for this issue provides the opportunity to conceive of the idea of nomad more broadly through themes of travel, movement, memory, displacement, imposition of boundaries and ideas about home, Diaspora and belonging. The nomad is at once the versatile intellectual, the wandering revolutionary, the environmental studies student, the cyber junky, the canoe tripper, and so on.

Introduction and Objective

Job stress is one of the major threats to health and it is associated with many diseases and family problems. Midwives experience high job stress due to the management of delivery emergencies. Personality traits and emotional intelligence can be helpful in confronting environmental pressures and selecting the strategy of coping with useful stress. Thus, the current research was conducted to evaluate the relationship between job stress, personality traits and emotional intelligence in midwives of Lorestan health care centers.

Methodology

This research was a cross-sectional and correlational study. Midwives working in all cities of the Lorestan province were randomly selected and they completed the job stress, emotional intelligence and personality traits questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software and a significance level of p <0.05 was considered.

Results

The results of the research showed that mean and standard deviation of job stress, emotional intelligence and personality trait midwives were 94.36 ± 12.98, 11.87 ± 14.30, and 135.51 ± 15.73 respectively. The results showed a negative relationship between intelligence and job stress (r= –0/274, p=0.0001) and no significant relationship was found between personality traits and job stress (r = –0.288, p=0.079).

Conclusion

A negative correlation was found between emotional intelligence and job stress, so emotional intelligence can reduce midwives’ workplace stress.

Protocol-Based Congestion Management for Advanced Air Mobility
Authors: Chin Christopher , Gopalakrishnan Karthik , Balakrishnan Hamsa , Egorov Maxim , Evans Antony
Published: November 2022

Advanced air mobility operations are expected to significantly increase the demand for limited airspace resources. Two key features distinguish advanced air mobility operations from commercial aviation. First, unlike commercial aviation, where flight schedules are set months in advance, advanced air mobility demand is dynamic (i.e., flights are planned with a much shorter lead-time). Thus, operators benefit from planning in shorter time horizons and can confidently share their desired flight trajectories only for the near future. In addition, operators may be unwilling to share estimates of the full trajectory, for competitive reasons. The second key feature is the large-scale of operations. Thus, a centralized optimization approach may not scale to meet the expected levels of demand, and it offers no redundancy against communication failures. In this paper, we address these challenges by designing a protocol that determines the “rules-of-the-road” for airspace access. Our protocol centers on the construction of priority queues to determine access to each congested volume of airspace. We leverage the concepts of backpressure (measure of queue buildup) and cycle detection (vehicles that block each other from proceeding) to promote efficiency, and present several flight- and operator-level prioritization schemes. In the absence of actual demand data, we study three scenarios: random origin–destination missions, crossflow traffic patterns, and simulated hub-based package delivery operations. We evaluate our protocols on two performance measures: efficiency (i.e., magnitudes of delays) and fairness (i.e., equitable distribution of delay across flights and operators).

Privileged chiral catalysts continue to transform the reactivity landscape, but achieving parity in excited state paradigms remains a frontier in contemporary synthesis. Whilst the interception of photogenerated intermediates by ground state cycles has partially addressed this challenge, single, chiral photocatalysts that simultaneously regulate reactivity and selectivity remain conspicuously scarce. Existing strategies leverage precision donor-acceptor recognition motifs to orchestrate enantioinduction. Expanding the latitude of this emerging branch of photocatalysis to incorporate simple, ubiquitous recognition units would be highly enabling but requires a suite of privileged photocatalysts. Motivated by the well-defined photo-physical properties of chiral Al-salen complexes, the efficiency of this privileged catalyst has been investigated and validated in the highly enantioselective deracemization of cyclopropyl ketones (up to 98:2 e.r.).

Microsponges are those drug delivery systems which are intended in a way to deliver a minimum dose of the drug or pharmaceutically active ingredient to increase the stability of formulation, to alter drug release profile. Ketoconazole is an imidazole anti-fungal agent  belonging to BCS class II. The main objective of this research work is to formulate and evaluate ketoconazole microsponge for topical  delivery by using various polymers such eudragit S-100, eudragit L-100 in four ratios 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 by quasi emulsion method. The  formulations prepared were labelled based on the ratios as ES 2. ES 3, ES 4, ES 5 for eudragit S-100 and EL 2, EL 3, EL 4, EL 5 for eudragit L-100. Evaluation tests like entrapment efficiency, production yield, drug content was performed and formulation of eudragit L-100 (EL 5) and eudragit S-100 (ES 5) showed better results. ES 5 and EL 5 formulations were optimized and tests like in vitro dissolution studies  were conducted which showed that the formulation ES 5 showed released upto 8 hours and can be used in the formulation of gel. The  gel (GES5) was prepared by usingmicrosponges containing the drug ketoconazole equivalent to 1 % w/w and was incorporated into  the gel base made up of Carbopol 934. The microsponges were sieved and were dispersed in Carbopol gel. Evaluation tests like pH  measurement, visual inspection, spreadability studies, drug content and in vitro diffusion studies. This method of formulating  microsponges has improved drug delivery therefore helping in the enhancement of the bioavailability of the drug and also acts as an efficient carrier through the skin.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most common malignancies of childhood. Peripheral blood and bone marrow involvement is common. Extramedullary involvement of central nervous system, liver, spleen, skin and testicles are seen. ALL presenting as nephromegaly is exceedingly rare. This case is reported for its rare presentation as nephromegaly. Bone marrow aspirate showed features of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and immunophenotyping by flow cytometry confirmed the diagnosis.

The problem of ensuring the minimum delivery time of information with prevention of collisions is a pressing problem in ACS TP, since collisions often occur during transmission or the delay time of information is not optimal. This problem is solved by the use of wireless computer networks and methods of information transmission with collision prevention, which affect the delay time of information transmission. The developed model of the access control process in wireless computer networks solves the problem of effective information transfer with collision prevention. The purpose of using this model is to reduce the delay in information transmission. ACS TP often needs modernization as technical innovations are becoming available. At the same time, the quality of production should not fluctuate. The most important element of modernization is the use of wireless technologies that save money and time, compared to the deployment of wired networks. The aim of the work is to develop the model of control access process in a wireless computer network with collision prevention. The process of forming delay slots for information transfer has been researched. The object of the study is a wireless computer network in the ACS TP. The subject of the study is a model of control access process in a wireless computer network with collision prevention. The research objectives are to create requirements for the model, to propose a structure, to create a model, to conduct tests and evaluate the obtained results. The model of access control process in a wireless computer network designed to transmit information with prevention of collisions in a wireless computer network has been developed.

The model of an automated control system for microclimatic indicators and energy consumption of greenhouses has been developed. To design intelligent components and on their basis to synthesize adaptive computer systems for managing the microclimate and energy efficiency of greenhouses is an urgent problem. The purpose of the work is to analyze greenhouse management modes, to make comparative characteristic of the process automation systems, to develop an information scheme of greenhouse-environment interaction, as well as, a structural scheme of greenhouse microclimate control, to select modern technologies to implement automatic climate control systems and to analyze the capabilities of the developed control model of a technological process. The research methods are based on the basic principles of the theory of heat and mass transfer using modern elements of computerized control. The structure of the greenhouse microclimate control system with a variable composition of equipment that provides rapid adaptation to the management requirements of a particular greenhouse has been developed. It has been proposed to develop the components and the structure of a greenhouse microclimate control system with implementation of the comprehensive approach, which includes communication and information management systems and technologies, a modern element base, the Android software, decision support tools. This approach is based on the following principles: consistency, variability of the equipment composition, openness, modularity, and usage of a set of basic design solutions. The microcontroller is the central control device of the entire control system. An availability graph of the client-server communication for the greenhouse microclimate control system, which has two final states, has been developed.

Published: November 2022

The article examines issues related to the development of proposals for improving the methodology for internal audit of the currency risk of a commercial bank on the example of the activities of PJSC VTB. The author substantiates that an integral part of the banking audit, in particular the audit of currency risks, is an audit analysis, which is a comprehensive approach that includes a set of methods and techniques that allow the auditor to deeply and comprehensively study the situation in the field of currency risk management of a commercial bank. In this article, the author proposes a comprehensive methodology that allows you to explore the currency risk of a commercial bank based on the analysis of financial and economic indicators that characterize the bank's activities in the foreign exchange market. Taking the achievements of foreign specialists, the author proposed a comprehensive methodology of audit analysis aimed at reducing the level of currency risk of a commercial bank. The audit analysis concerning the currency risks of a commercial bank is proposed to be carried out according to a scheme covering several stages. The use in analysis, in comparison with other methods, eliminates the ambiguity of assessing the influence of factors when changing the sequence of their calculation and allows you to get the most accurate result. The data obtained allow auditors to form an objective picture of the situation in the field of foreign exchange transactions of a commercial bank, to determine those positions that most affect the level of currency risk, to formulate recommendations for its reduction. During the audit, it is recommended to compare the growth rates of income and expenses, as well as to determine the coefficients of their elasticity. The latter are calculated as the ratio of the income growth rate to the cost growth rate.The successful operation of commercial banks in the foreign exchange markets largely depends on the effectiveness of currency risk management. The analysis of currency risk is important for the analysis of currency risk, which is an integral part of the audit aimed at obtaining objective data that contributes to the formation of an audit opinion on this type of risk and the development of recommendations to reduce it.

Undernutrition was one of the most widespread public health problems that affected both
developed and developing countries. In India, it was one of the factors which lead to
unacceptably high morbidity and mortality among women. However, little was
documented on undernutrition among lactating women, particularly in the urban
community. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status and its related factors
among lactating mothers in the urban areas of the Dehradun region, Uttarakhand, India. A
structured, pre-tested, and validated questionnaire was used to capture the sociodemographic information including the economical and medical conditions of 150
lactating women in Dehradun, India. Pearson correlation coefficient and association of
various factors determined that 31.33% of women were in the age bracket of 20-25 years
and the low-income group (72%). The prevalence of underweight was 7.33%, and the
mean and standard deviation of the body mass index of mothers were 20.59±2.96 and
21.70±3.18 for sedentary and moderate workers respectively. There were significant
correlations found between BMI, energy, carbohydrates, and fat intake (p<0.05). A
multivariate regression model was used to associate the nutritional status of the
participant’s income group, education, type of work, age of mothers, and frequency of
meals. Based on the results, intervention programs for dietary correction and the effect of
nutrition on the body were emphasized to lactating mothers for better health and
nutritional outcomes.
