Low Emission Zones a strefy czystego transportu w Polsce – trudne początki i prognozy
Authors: Pawłowski Sławomir
Published: December 2022

Problematyka ochrony powietrza przed zanieczyszczeniem staje się ostatnio coraz bardziej aktualna. Istotny udział w tym negatywnym oddziaływaniu mają pojazdy mechaniczne napędzane silnikami spalinowymi, przede wszystkim wyposażonymi w starsze silniki diesla. Wyrazem przeciwdziałania termu trendowi jest ograniczanie ich wjazdu do obszarów, w których następuje największa kumulacja trujących tlenków azotu i innych szkodliwych substancji. Obszary te, wprowadzane na przełomie XX i XXI wieku w metropoliach europejskich i nie tylko zostały nazwane Strefami Ograniczonej Emisji (Low Emission Zones). Tymczasem krajowe rozwiązania długo nie uwzględniały tego trendu, mimo zobowiązań wynikających z prawa unijnego. Dopiero w 2018 r. pojawiła się w Polsce możliwość uchwalania przez gminy jako aktów prawa miejscowego Stref Czystego Transportu. Celem opracowania jest wskazanie problemów prawnych i faktycznych związanych z ich ustanawianiem, które w dużej mierze są rezultatem zbyt rygorystycznie określonych przesłanek materialnoprawnych. Największy zarzut jaki można postawić obowiązującej regulacji, to położenie nacisku na zeroemisyjność zamiast uwzględnienia w początkowym okresie progresywnego podejścia. STC to bowiem odpowiednik Clean Air Zones, które obecnie w niewielkim zakresie pojawiają się w światowych metropoliach. Stąd też ustanawianie stref niskiej emisji spalin wymaga elastyczności, której krajowej regulacji w kilku obszarach brak, co może skutkować brakiem zainteresowania gmin w ich wprowadzaniu.
Prawo zagospodarowania przestrzeni a prawo własności
Authors: Pracka Małgorzata
Published: December 2022

Gospodarowanie przestrzenią to proces niezwykle skomplikowany, a jednocześnie konfliktogenny. Konflikt ten wynika przede wszystkim z potrzeby zabezpieczenia realizacji interesu publicznego, czego nie da się osiągnąć bez wkraczania w sferę indywidualnych uprawnień właścicieli nieruchomości. Prawo zagospodarowania przestrzeni ma być wyrazem godzenia tych interesów przy założeniu, że każda ingerencja w prawo własności musi być prawem uzasadniona, a wszelkie przejawy prymatu interesu publicznego nad indywidualnym są nieuprawnione.Kluczowym publicznoprawnym instrumentem, przy pomocy którego dokonuje się wiążącego określania zasad zagospodarowania terenu jest miejscowy plan zagospodarowania przestrzennego. Jego ustalenia kształtują sposób wykonywania prawa własności i wpływają na wartość ekonomiczną nieruchomości. Właściciel zostaje jednak wyposażony w środki ochrony prawnej, przy pomocy których może dochodzić wyrównania doznanego uszczerbku będącego wynikiem aktywności planistycznej gminy.Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza i ocena środków prawnych pod kątem zabezpieczenia interesu właścicieli nieruchomości w kontekście dochowania konstytucyjnych standardów ochrony prawa własności. Kształtowanie przestrzeni przy pomocy miejscowego planu zagospodarowania przestrzennego z jednej bowiem strony musi realizować postulat racjonalnego organizowania przestrzeni, równoważenia zaistniałych konfliktów wartości, z drugiej natomiast nie może naruszać zasady ochrony własności.

Authors: Romaniuk Paweł
Published: December 2022

Współczesna realizacja usług  drogą elektroniczną w administracji publicznej, jest jedną z form załatwiania spraw urzędowych. Przyjęte podstawy prawne w zakresie świadczenia elektronicznych usług, zapewniają widoczną dynamikę rozwoju nowoczesnych technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych. Takie rozwiązania wymagają nieustannych zmian legislacyjnych. Przyjęcie przez ustawodawcę modelu delegacji ustawowych do regulowania poszczególnych tematów, silnie powiązanych ze świadczeniem elektronicznych usług, zapewnia dostosowanie tych przepisów do bardzo szybko zmieniającego się otoczenia technologicznego. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie, że pojawiające się możliwości w zakresie rozwoju tej sfery życia publicznego, niewątpliwie napotykają także na różnorodne problemy i bariery. Niniejszy artykuł przybliża aspekty związane z rozwojem elektronicznej administracji, wskazując zarówno na szanse, jak i zagrożenia, pojawiające się w codziennym funkcjonowaniu administracji publicznej. Autor wskazuje również założenia de lege ferenda, których nadrzędnym celem jest wskazanie istotności funkcjonującego systemu, wykorzystującego model elektronicznych usług, wdrażanych na wszystkich poziomach administracji publicznej.
Kryminalistyczne aspekty wykrywania sprawców przestępstw gospodarczych
Authors: Juszka Kazimiera
Published: December 2022

Ważnym czynnikiem ochrony prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej jest ciągłe podejmowanie działań organów procesowych prowadzących postępowania karne w celu wykrycia sprawców przestępstw gospodarczych. W codziennej pracy organów postępowania pomocne jest uwzględnianie czynników wpływających na efektywność procesu wykrywczego. W przedmiotowym artykule przedstawiono następujące czynniki: wersja kryminalistyczna oraz przeprowedzanie oględzin w wykrywaniu sprawców przestępstw gospodarczych. Celem artykułu jest analiza kryminalistycznych aspektów przestępczości gospodarczej z punktu widzenia czynności organów prowadzących postępowanie karne. Przedmiotowa prezentacja zostanie przedstawiona za pomocą czynników wpływających na efektywność prowadzenia postępowań karnych w celu wykrycia sprawców przestępstw gospodarczych tj. wersji kryminalistycznej oraz oględzin w wykrywaniu sprawców przestępstw gospodarczych. Niniejsze czynniki należy rozumieć jako każda aktywność organów postępowania w przedmiocie wykrycia sprawców przestępstw gospodarczych, mająca wpływ na efektywność dalszego prowadzenia postepowania karnego oraz kształt prawomocnego wyroku. Przedstawiona w niniejszym artykule analiza wersji kryminalistycznej oraz oględzin w wykrywaniu sprawców przestępstw gospodarczych stanowi najdonioślejsze aspekty ich wykrywania zarówno pod względem doktrynalnym ja również utylitarnym. Nieprawidłowe i nieefektywne przeprowadzenie oględzin a także nieprzestrzeganie zasad budowy wersji kryminalistycznych bezpośrednio wpływa na trudności dowodowe mogące uniemożliwić wykrycie sprawcy tytułowych przestępstw w toku postępowania karnego.
Biblical Hexameron as the Gospel
Authors: Олег Мумриков,
Published: December 2022

Библейский Шестоднев в настоящее время часто воспринимается исключительно как космогонический текст, что неизбежно порождает попытки его интерпретаций лишь в контексте современной естественнонаучной картины мира (что само по себе неверно, поскольку научные картины мира находятся в постоянном динамичном развитии). Поэтому для библейской апологетики представляется перспективным, не отрицая историчности повествования первой главы Книги Бытия, рассматривать её в первую очередь как особый гимн-благовестие в контексте всего корпуса книг Священного Писания Ветхого и Нового Заветов. Автор попытался показать, что данный вполне традиционный церковный подход к осмыслению первой главы Книги Бытия позволяет избежать не только последствий допущения искусственных упрощений, неизбежных при построении моделей конкорданса библейских текстов и естественнонаучных данных, но и ошибок интерпретации Шестоднева как «случайного», «устаревшего» или «лишнего» фрагмента Книги Бытия.

Biblical Hexameron is now often perceived exclusively as a cosmogonic text, which inevitably gives rise to attempts to interpret it only in the context of the modern natural-scientific picture of the world (which in itself is not true, since the scientific pictures of the world are in constant dynamic development). Therefore, for biblical apologetics, it seems promising, without denying the historicity of the narration of the first chapter of the Book of Genesis, to consider it primarily as a special hymn-evangelism in the context of the entire corpus of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. The author tried to show that this quite traditional Church approach to comprehending the first chapter of Genesis allows avoiding not only the consequences of making artificial simplifications, which are inevitable in the construction of models of the concordance of biblical texts and natural science data, but also errors of interpreting Hexameron as «accidental», «outdated» or «extra» fragment of the Book of Genesis.
The Doctrine of the Judgment of God over the Gentiles in the Epistle of St. Paul the Apostle to the Romans (Romans 1, 18-32): An Attempt of Theologicaland Exegetical Commentary
Authors: Михаил Всеволодович Ковшов, , Михаил Еремин, , Александр Тодиев,
Published: December 2022

Статья посвящена раскрытию темы Суда Божия на примере отрывка (Рим. 1, 18-32). Тема Суда Божия важна для изучения библейского богословия и христианского нравственного учения. Она является общей для посланий апостола Павла, но особенно раскрывается в послании к Римлянам и приобретает новый оттенок в контексте всего Священного Писания и иудейского богословия. Отрывок Рим. 1, 18-32 является первым представлением темы Суда Божия в этом послании св. апостола Павла. В нем можно проследить мотив, функцию, объект и основания Суда Господня над человеком.

The article is devoted to the disclosure of the topic of the Judgment of God on the example of the passage (Rom. 1, 18-32). The topic of the Judgment of God is important for the study of biblical theology and Christian moral teaching. It is common to the epistles of the Apostle Paul, but it is especially revealed in the epistle to the Romans and takes on a new shade in the context of all Holy Scripture and Jewish theology. The passage Rom. 1, 18-32 represents the first presentation of the theme of the Judgment of God in this epistle of St. Paul the Apostle. It is possible to trace the motive, function, object and grounds of the Judgment of the Lord over man in this passage.
Review of the Life Path and Pedagogical Activity of A. I. Anastasiev
Authors: Черкасов Иона
Published: December 2022

В статье исследуется жизненный путь и педагогическая деятельность Андрея Ивановича Анастасиева. Особое внимание учителей он обращал на внутреннее усвоение учащимися православного учения не только умом, но и сердцем, с пониманием смысла. Поэтому он был сторонником обучения нерусского населения на их родном языке. Для развития в детях искреннего религиозного чувства и усвоения христианских правил в жизни он советовал учителям определенный способ преподавания - урок, который представлял бы собой живую, задушевную и доступную беседу доброго пастыря со своими детьми. Все это было совершенно необходимо в деле миссионерской деятельности Симбирской епархии, оказывающей поддержку миссионерам и приходским священникам в деле обращения иноверцев от заблуждений в истинах веры, утверждения в православии новокрещенных и борьбе с раскольническим движением в губернии. Показательный пример обращения язычника в православную веру, когда его внутреннее умственное и внешнее изменение показывают результаты применения религиозно-воспитательных идей А. И. Анастасиева. Изучение его авторских трудов в настоящее время могло бы мотивировать современного учителя по-новому осознать, что является приоритетом и основой в обучении учащихся, выстраивая весь комплекс учебной и воспитательной работы на основе Евангельских заповедей. Полагаю, что использование исторических сведений, изложенных в данной работе, возможно также при обобщающих исследованиях в учебных пособиях и курсах лекций по истории Симбирской епархии.

The article examines the life path and pedagogical activity of Andrei Ivanovich Anastasiev. He paid attention in his works to the learning of Orthodox teaching through the heart, not just the mind. Therefore, he supported teaching the non-Russian population in their native language. He advised teachers a way of teaching sincere religious feelings in children and the assimilation of Christian rules in life. He taught teachers a specific method of teaching - a method that would represent a lively, sincere and accessible conversation of the pastor with his children. That was necessary for the missionary activity of the Simbirsk diocese, providing support to missionaries and parish priests in the conversion of gentiles from errors in the truths of faith, the establishment of the newly baptized in Orthodoxy, and the fight against the dissident movement in the province. An illustrative example of the conversion of a pagan to the Orthodox faith, when his internal mental and external change shows the results of the religious and educational ideas of A. I. Anastasiev. And studying his author's works at present could motivate a modern teacher to take a fresh look at the priority and basis in teaching students, building the entire complex of educational and educational work based on the Gospel commandments. I believe that the use of historical information presented in this work is also possible with generalizing studies in textbooks and lecture courses on the history of the Simbirsk diocese.
Influence of the Parental Family on the Trajectories of Professional Mobility of Postgraduate Students
Authors: Smirnov R. G.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the phenomenon of the parental family as a factor influencing the social (professional) mobility of postgraduate students. The influence of the parental family is analyzed in two directions / spheres: 1) the period of study (from the moment of admission to the defense of the dissertation) and 2) the formation of the views and perceptions of postgraduate students about career prospects and opportunities. The empirical base of the study is represented by data from qualitative in-depth interviews with postgraduate students of Moscow universities (N=30). There is proposed differentiation of students in postgraduate school into two groups (“goal-oriented” and “coincidental”), and the following conclusions are drawn: 1) at the initial stage of education, the role and importance of the parental family in the view of postgraduate students is minimal; 2) by the time of completing postgraduate studies, goal-oriented postgraduate students change their minds, recognizing the importance of the family as a supporting factor of social and professional mobility; 3) in contrast to the period of studying in graduate school the parental family becomes a significant factor of mobility in the views and perceptions of postgraduate students about professional prospects and the formation of a career trajectory.
Study of the slant fracture in solid and hollow cylinders: Experimental analysis and numerical prediction
Authors: Ben Chabane Nassima , Aguechari Nassim , Ould Ouali Mohand
Published: December 2022

This paper is devoted to the numerical and experimental study of ductile fracture in bulk metal forming of the 2017A-T4 aluminum alloy. From an experimental standpoint, the ductile fracture of the 2017A-T4 aluminum alloy is investigated under compressive load. Two cross-sections of solid and hollow specimens are considered. The mechanical behavior and the microstructure of the 2017A-T4 aluminum alloy were characterized. It is found that the well-known barrel shape is obtained when a compressive load is applied. Analyses of fracture topographies show a ductile fracture with dimples under tension and coexistence of ductile fracture with dimples and slant under compression. The classical physically-based Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model and its extension to incorporate shear mechanisms to predict failure at low-stress triaxiality are considered. These two models have been extended to take into account the thermal heating effect induced by the mechanical dissipation within the material during the metal forming process. The two models have been implemented into the finite element code Abaqus/Explicit using a Vectorized User MATerial (VUMAT) subroutine. Numerical simulations of the forging process made for hollow and solid cylindrical specimens show good agreement with experimental results. In contrast with the GTN model, the modified GTN model incorporating shear mechanisms can capture the final material failure.
Mechanical, Wear, and Fracture Behavior of Titanium Diboride (TiB2) - Cerium Oxide (CeO2) Reinforced Al-6061 Hot-rolled Hybrid Composites
Authors: Sreenivasa Iyengar S. R. , Sethuramu D. , Ravikumar M.
Published: December 2022

Development of aluminium composites by stircasting technique is an effective method for fabrication of better quality of MMCs. Stircasting technique is one of the most commonly accepted techniques. In this research work, Al6061 / TiB2+CeO2 hybrid MMCs have been fabricated with varying wt. % of TiB2 (2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%) particulates and constant 5% of CeO2 particulates. The monolithic alloy and hybrid composite were hot-rolled at a temperature of 515°C. Whereas, both the monolithic and hot-rolled hybrid composite was subjected to micro-structural study, hardness and tensile test. Optical microscope analysis revealed uniform dispersal of hard particles with in the base matrix in case of both of ascast and hot-rolled composites. Both ascast and hotrolled hybrid composites have shown extensive enhanced mechanical behavior and high wear resistance when compared with monolithic alloy. Though, ductility of the hybrid MMCs decreased with increasing TiB2 and CeO2 content. A tensile and wear fractography outcome shows the internal fractured structure of a tensile and wear specimen which was analysed using a SEM analysis.

Die USA und ihre Kriegskonstruktionen
Authors: Schissler Jakob
Published: December 2022

Die Alliierten stützten ihre Argumentation bei den Kriegsverbrecherprozessen gegen das Deutsche Reich 1946 auf die Tatsache des Angriffskrieges durch Nazi-Deutschland. Damit schufen sie indirekte Legitimationen für andere Kriegsformen. Dies war anscheinend gewollt. Jedoch traten „nach Nürnberg“ andere Faktoren in den Vordergrund: vor allem die Tatsache der „hohen Kollateralschäden“. Die USA haben in der Folge nur bedingt völkerrechtliche Regelungen in ihre Politik aufgenommen. Seit dem Koreakrieg (1950–1953) bauten die USA ihre überdimensionale Kriegswirtschaft auf. In den Blick gerieten vor allem sogenannte „low intensity conflicts“. Diese hatten während der Entkolonialisierung Konjunktur. E. Tammy Kim nannte diese Kriegsführung der USA den „forever war“ oder auch den „permanenten Krieg“. Mit dem Übergang zum „unipolaren Moment“ in der Weltpolitik, hat „The war against terror“ diese Form der Kriegsführung ganz offen angenommen. Man bezeichnet amerikanischerseits diese Kriegsform auch als „intra war“. Seit kurzem aber wird die neue Form des allumfassenden Krieges wieder theoretisiert – der „inter war“. Diese Strategie ist gegen China gerichtet. Es ist fraglich ob man Kriege so scheinpräzise in Formeln packen kann: Sie sind ihrer Natur nach soziale Aktionen, die man durch Friedensstrategien beenden sollte. Woran es gegenwärtig mangelt.

PIXDet: Prohibited Items X-Ray Image Detection in Complex Background
Authors: Li Mingyuan , Ma Bowen , Jia Tong , Zhang Yichun
Published: December 2022

In this paper, aiming at the complex background and overlapping characteristics in X-ray images, we propose an unique spatial attention mechanism based on the feedback of high-level semantic feature to guide low-level semantic features, named Feedback Guidance Mechanism (FGM). In addition, in view of the high probability of miss of small prohibited items, a feature aggregation method based on the fusion of high and low-level features and dilated convolution is proposed, named Feature Aggregation Module (FAM). Then, we combine FGM and FAM into a lightweight model SSD and get a new Prohibited Items Detector (PIXDet). Our experiments indicate that PIXDet is more lightweight, but it can achieve 90.36% mAP on PIXray dataset, exceeding SSD by 1.0% mAP, outperforming some state-of-the-art methods, implying its potential applications in prohibited items detection field.
Museum and Cultural Heritage: "Tangible Signs of Intangible Relations"
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State Institute of Culture, Mastenitsa Elena
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the phenomenon of intangible cultural heritage, the issues of its preservation and presentation in museums. The debatable nature of both normative documents and scientific approaches in the field of study and museum development of intangible cultural heritage is revealed, which allows stating the incompleteness of the process of its conceptualization. There is a significant impact of intangible cultural heritage on the dynamics and content of the main social functions of the museum in accordance with modern requirements for the implementation of an inclusive policy of collecting, exhibiting and educational activities. The recognition of the human factor as the cornerstone of the concept of intangible heritage makes it possible to record a shift in the development of cultural heritage from the passive perception of monuments and objects to participatory practices and interactive processes.
POETICS OF GASTRONOMIC IMAGES IN JHUMPA LAHIRI’S “THE NAMESAKE”
Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, Yalovenko Olha V.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to analyze the specificity of gastronomic images and the Indian gastronomic code in Jhumpa Lahiri’s “The Namesake” as a personification of Asian identity in the context of transcultural paradigm. In the article the following methods are used: cultural and historical, historical and typological, functional, hermeneutic, narratological analysis, biographical, the principles of postcolonial and decolonial criticism. The author of the article notes that food serves as a conditional language for characters and as a cultural code that can successfully be interpreted by “ours” only – Indian culture representatives. Such symbolic “contact” with the cuisine of another country allows us to differentiate, to understand and to assimilate “our” in a better way. Therefore, cultural culinary differences are found in the kitchen, where the character is accustomed to spend most of her day and especially carefully prepares the dishes. An interpretation of cooking as a true art is associated with Jhumpa Lahiri`s marginalized / border characters: you need to remember how much, when, and what kind of spices are to be added to the dishes. As a true Bengali woman, the character skillfully prepares traditional “her” dishes. The heroine “fills” her inner cultural nostalgia and sadness with cooking, and thus tries to move home mentally. She realizes that all other identities in herself can be disappointed and even broken, but the chef identity will always stand, it will stand even in a new cultural environment. Food and character’s culinary activities serve as a cover to talk about something else: the psychology, and, above all, the expression of cultural identity. Having analyzed gastronomic images in Jhumpa Lahiri’s “The Namesake”, we managed to draw the following conclusions: the food image in fiction works makes it possible to interpret it as an aesthetic phenomenon, as then relative category “edible” / “inedible”. In the novel, cooking processes are presented in an instructive manner but also the gastronomic images have a specific purpose – to emphasize cultural identity, as well as to show character’s psychological portrait. It is worth noting Ashima’s calm manner in cooking, carefully considering not only the list of dishes but also the candidates for the people for whom these dishes are prepared.
IDIOSTYLE PECULIARITIES IN TUNA KIREMITÇI`S “PRAYERS STAY THE SAME”
Authors:   National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”, Kornieva Zoia M. , Borbenchuk Iryna M. ,   National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”
Published: December 2022

Present-day philological studies take into account ideological, aesthetic-philosophical and cultural factors that influence the work creation and the formation of the artist’s idiostyle. Prospects in the discovery and study of modern writers drew our attention to the figure of the Turkish novelist Tuna Kiremitçi. His novel “Prayers Stay the Same” (2007) is characterized by the coexistence of worldviews of the West and the East, determining the specificity of the choice of expressive linguistic means that serve for the embodiment of the ideas. The aim of the given article consists in identifying the peculiarities of the author’s style through complex analysis of the novel “Prayers Stay the Same” and singling out corresponding linguistic means. Kiremitçi’s idiostyle is characterized by the creation of a figurative system due to the author’s philosophical and religious views and genre-compositional features of the novel. Individualization of the style is facilitated by linguistic and stylistic means, among which the authors singled out toponyms, anthroponyms, foreign vocabulary, and youth slang as the most frequent ones. Linguopoetic features are marked by the use of language tools that have an aesthetic impact on the reader. The image of Istanbul reflects a set of cultural and personal traits, reveals historical events, promotes the formation of the heroines’ characters as well as conveys their spiritual secrets. The color of Oriental life is manifested in dialogues about the Turkish language and traditions, in quoting famous Turkish artists. Phraseologisms convey cultural and aesthetic values, outline the observations and worldview of both the Turkish people and the author himself. Spiritual ideals and guidelines are broadly represented in the novel in the texts of prayers, which are the author’s beliefs and searches for the answers for eternal questions, namely the essence of the prayer, faith, and the Almighty for an individual.
CZESŁAW MIŁOSZ’S “PIESEK PRZYDROŻNY” AND “ABECADŁO” AS THE PICTURE OF THE 20th CENTURY
Authors:   Lesya Ukrainka Volun National University, Oliander Luiza K.
Published: December 2022

The article aims to study the poetics evolution of a great Polish poet and prose writer, Nobel prize winner Czesław Miłosz towards a fundamentally new comprehensive literary form: from “Piesek Przydrożny” (“Roadside Dog” 1997) to “Abecadło” (“Milosz`s ABC`s” 1997) and “Inne Abecadło” (“A Further Alphabet” 1998). The purpose stimulates the usage of the analytical, hermeneutics and receptive methodology, as well as textual analysis. It is stressed that the years of this work publication indicate the writerєі success in his determined search for a form that would be capable, containing immense life material, countless events, lives and artistic-philosophical reflections, to create the picture of the 20th century. The paper highlights why “Piesek Przydrożny” does not meet any requirements for containing the unlimited number of life facts within a text. We’ve noted the organizing function of Piesek in the system of a fictional unity. Moving freely, Piesek made it possible for Miłosz to create a certain series of philosophical pieces (“Ubóstwo wyobraźni”, “Wzniosłość”, “Pieśń dziadowsku”, “Со upadek”, “Powieść”, “Gombrowicz”, “Polski literat”) and several tragic essays – “Ojcowskie kłopoty”, “Zmartwienia historyka” and others. It is proven that while the form of this book contains a variety of material, it still cannot give Miłosz the absolute freedom he was striving for. The writer was determined to find the form which would, according to him, “allow for much freedom”, “not pursue beauty but just register facts”. Considering Е. Brazgovskaya’s findings, the productivity of the alphabet (аbecadło) is proved. The paper expresses the idea that one can treat the alphabet (аbecadło) as a kind of a memoir genre. The innovative structure of “Abecadło”, consisting of essays-novels, is analyzed. The article traces the associative connections which cement 200 essays into a single entity, creating the image of the epoch.

Aim: to identify factors associated with the symptom severity of thyrotoxic atrial fibrillation (TAF). Patients and Methods: this retrospective study included 70 patients with overt hyperthyroidism and TAF. The following parameters were used to assess TAF severity: the type of atrial fibrillation (AF); functional class (f.c.) of the heart failure (HF) and the ejection fraction (EF) coexisting with AF; evaluation of AF-related symptoms using the European Heart Rhythm Association score (EHRA); and the ventricular contraction rate (VCR) during AF. Clinical features, medical history and echocardiographic parameters were compared in patients with different TAF severity to determine factors, associated with severe clinical course of TAF, meeting the following criteria: persistent type of AF; III-IV f.c. of the heart failure; EF<50%; EHRA 3–4; and VCR ≥90 per minute. Results: as regards the clinical features and medical history, only male gender was considered as a predictor of the severe course of TAF defined as follows: the persistent type of AF, a decrease in EF<50%, the development of heart failure III-IV f.c., and the severe AF symptoms (EHRA 3–4). The echocardiographic parameters: the left atrium diameter was associated with the type of AF, and the left ventricle mass index was associated with EHRA symptom severity class. Both parameters were associated with the heart failure f.c. and the EF during TAF. Conclusion: factors associated with the symptom severity of TAF, were identified in the study. These findings could be used for predicting the clinical course of TAF and, in the future, for optimizing the guidelines for the management of patients with TAF. KEYWORDS: thyrotoxicosis, hyperthyroidism, atrial fibrillation, thyrotoxic atrial fibrillation, Graves’ disease. FOR CITATION: Ponomartseva D.A., Babenko A.Yu.

Tumor necrosis factor α and its role in pathologies
Authors:   Medical Center Professorial Clinic, Perm, Russian Federation, Tereshchenko I.V. , Kayushev P.E. ,   Medical Center "Beauty and Health Philosophy", Perm, Russian Federation
Published: December 2022

Over the past years, the views on the role played by tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in the body have changed. The aim of this review is to provide updates on TNF-α functions in various pathological conditions. While working on the review, the authors made search and analysis of full-text reviews and original articles in foreign (English) and Russian languages using such databases as eLIBRARY.RU, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed, mostly from 2018–2022. A priority was given to the original publications. TNF-α is a multifunctional pro-inflammatory cytokine which stimulates the production of other cytokines, chemokines, and interferon γ. Also, it is involved in the inflammatory processes during viral, bacterial, and autoimmune diseases.

So far, the use of TNF-α inhibitors and the suppression of expression of TNF-α and its receptors has caused disappointment: approx. in 40–50% of cases the inhibition aggravated pathological conditions.

Published: December 2022

INTRODUCTION Chronic musculoskeletal pain is now a common feature among younger women. Many such women exhibit a range of additional physical and psychological features and fulfil criteria for fibromyalgia. Hypermobility, irritable bowel syndrome and migraine are frequent comorbid conditions. These are all in part mediated by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system and commonly include fatigue, poor sleep and brain fog. Anxiety, social withdrawal and a range of autistic traits are frequently described by those with chronic musculoskeletal pain, and autistic people are over-represented among patients attending pain clinics. This study was designed to explore the correlation between the degree of pain and autistic traits described within a self-selected community-based population. METHODS The study used a nonexperimental, correlational design with data collected from a volunteer sample of 448 adults (aged 18-60) who completed online self-report questionnaires assessing each of autistic traits (RAADS-R score), fibromyalgia symptoms (ACR criteria) and hypermobility (Beighton’s test). Correlation analysis and linear regressions were used to test the relationships between each disorder. Data was analysed using parametric and non-parametric techniques to assess prevalence, strength and significance of relationships, causes of variance within populations and mediations. RESULTS Our self-selected community population had a mean age of 24 years and was 77% female. The prevalence of significant autistic traits, fibromyalgia and hypermobility were all much greater than expected at 63.4%, 40.6% and 43.7% respectively. Those identifying as non-binary or trans had the highest rates. Fibromyalgia was significantly associated with autistic traits, with dysautonomia a stronger predictor than chronic pain. Regression analyses revealed hypermobility partially mediated the relationship between autistic traits and fibromyalgia. DISCUSSION  This is the first community study to provide evidence for a direct association between fibromyalgia and neurodivergent traits. Although self-selected, the findings in our predominantly young population confirm that these conditions are common and that those with autistic traits are at significantly increased risk of developing fibromyalgia, especially if they are hypermobile.

Comparative investigation of interaction of bis-dimethylsulfoxide-cis-tetrachlorodi--pivalatodirhenium(III) (I) with two eukaryotic DNAs with different nucleotide content was performed by the method of UV-titration. Eukariotic deoxyribonucleic acids from calf thymus (CT DNA, 40% GC) and from herring sperm (HS DNA, 44% GC) were the matter of investigation. We observed an increase in the absorption of both DNAs with increasing the concentration of added solutions of I. Electronic absorption spectra traces of both examples of DNA exhibited pronounced hyperchromism in the presence of increasing amounts of I. The calculated binding constants were KbCT DNA=2221 l/mol and KbHS DNA=3238 l/mol. Hyperchromicity of the complexes DNA-I was different for the investigated DNAs (14.413% and 81.943% for CT DNA and HS DNA, respectively). The conclusions was made that addition of I in low concentrations to DNA led to formation of complexes DNA-I with following unwinding or unfolding of the helix that did not reach 50% of unfolding. At high concentrations of I, the preferable interaction took place with guanine; interaction of I with guanine nucleotides led to significant (more than 50%) of unfolding of guanine rich sequences. I was sensitive to the nucleotide content of DNA in high concentrations and strongly reacted with guanine reach sequences with selective and mighty unfolding abilities.

This paper concerns electrodeposition of coatings from electrolytes containing NiCl2 (0.1 mol dm–3) and CeCl3 (0.1–0.4 mol dm–3) salts dissolved in a deep eutectic solvent, ethaline (ethylene glycol+choline chloride). The electrochemical deposition was carried out at cathodic current densities from 1 to 5 mA cm–2 and temperatures from 50 to 900C. It was shown that micromodification of the chemical composition of coatings with cerium occurred (no more than ~1–2.65 wt.% Ce), and the content of cerium in the coating was increased with an increase in the concentration of the Ce(III) salt in the plating electrolyte, an increase in the current density, and a decrease in the temperature. It was shown for the first time that the Ni-based electrodeposits micromodified with cerium exhibited an enhanced electrocatalytic activity in the reaction of hydrogen evolution in an alkaline medium (a decrease in the cathodic polarization by ~200–250 mV). Electrocatalytic activity correlated with the content of cerium in the coating. The enhancement of the efficiency of electrocatalysis resulting from micromodification of the chemical composition of the coatings with cerium was explained within the framework of the well-known concept of the synergistic effect of hypo-hyper-d-electronic combinations of transition metals. The use of electrolytes based on deep eutectic solvents provides additional opportunities for flexible control of the composition of deposited coatings and their electrocatalytic behavior via changes in the concentration of electrolyte components and electrolysis conditions in relatively wide intervals.
Biodegradable surfactants from side streams of the vegetable oils production in technical systems

Published: December 2022

This work reports the structure of surfactants synthesized from by-products of the vegetable oil production. These are raw materials that do not compete with food products; they are low-cost phosphatidic sludge that can be used directly for chemical transformation. Fatty acid monoetanolamides derived from side streams of the vegetable oils production do not have residues of the original phosphatides or acylglycerols as determined by spectral methods. There are clearly reflected cross-peaks between the amide group and the adjacent methylene group. This indicates a high conversion of substrate and further confirms the amidation reaction. The main acyl residue of the synthesized surfactants are hydrocarbon chain of linoleic acid however, while the detection of methylene groups near double bonds indicates the presence of other fatty acids (oleic, linolenic and gadolein), this corresponds to the fatty acid composition of the original phosphatidic sludge. Synthesized surfactants are effective emulsifiers-stabilizers for dispersed systems. The use of environmentally friendly components in the composition of surfactants improves their biodegradability to 83–86%.

Interactions in the Ba2+–WO42––H+–H2O system, that was acidified to the molar ratio (acidity) Z=(H+)/(WO42–)=1.00, in the range of Z=0.60–2.00 at 2980.1 K with NaNO3 as the background electrolyte (I=0.1–0.3 mol•l–1), were studied by the methods of pH-potentiometry, mathematical modeling and conductometry. Logarithms of concentration constants of equilibrium were calculated by Newton's method. Previously unknown logarithms of thermodynamic constants and Gibbs energies of formation reactions for some ion pairs (BaOH+,[W12O40(OH)2]10–; Ba2+,[W12O40(OH)2]10–; Ba2+,H2[W12O40(OH)2]8–; Ba2+,H3[W12O40(OH)2]5–; Ba2+,[W12O18(OH)2]6–; and Ba2+,H[W12O18(OH)2]5–) were calculated by Pitzer's method. The formation of particles with a Ba2+:[W12O40(OH)2]10–=1:1 ratio in solutions was established by conductometric titration method. A scheme of interconversions between ion pairs in an aqueous solution was proposed. From acidified to different Z values aqueous solutions of Na2WO4, the normal and double barium(II) paratungstates B Ba5[W12O40(OH)2]30H2O (Z=1.17), Na4Ba2[W12O40(ОН)2]28Н2О (Z=1.25), and Na2Ba4[W12O40(ОН)2]25Н2О (Z=1.33) were synthesized. The data of FTIR spectroscopy showed that the isopoly anion in the salts' composition belongs to the paratungstate B structural type.

Published: December 2022

This research was aimed at establishing the effect of fineness of glass cullet grinding on the properties of porous glass ceramic materials obtained using open-hearth furnace slag as a gas-forming agent. Firing of the samples was carried out at the temperature of 7500С. For the samples under study, the volumetric weight and compressive strength were determined, the swelling coefficients were calculated, and the types of structure were analyzed, which depend on the average diameter of the predominant pores. It was found that the average pore size increased and the structure of the samples changed from fine (0.5 mm) to medium-porous (2–3 mm) with an increase in the specific surface of cullet. At the same time, there was a decrease in the volumetric weight of the samples from 500 kg m–3 to 325 kg m–3 and, accordingly, a decrease in the compressive strength limit from 6.76 MPa to 2.59 MPa. It was determined that it is necessary to use cullet with a specific surface area of at least 290 m2 kg–1 in order to obtain materials with a uniform fine- and medium-porous structure (average pore size of up to 1 mm). In the case of using cullet with a specific surface of 320 m2 kg–1, it is possible to obtain material having swelling coefficient of 3.98, volumetric weight of 376 kg m–3 and compressive strength of 3.53 MPa. A further increase in fineness of cullet grinding increases production costs and allows obtaining materials with lower volumetric weight and strength and with a pore size of up to 2–3 mm.

Synthesis of petroleum resins in the presence of aliphatic N-substituted aminoperoxides of general formula C(CH3)3–O–O–CH2–N–R1R2 was investigated in this communication. The effects of reaction temperature (393–493 K), reaction time (240–480 min) and aminoperoxide concentration (0.032–0.096 mol/l) on the yield and characteristics of the petroleum resins were studied. The correlation index (0.85–0.92, absolute value) for the pair "yield–bromine number" confirmed that the oligomerization reaction proceeded on monomer's unsaturated bonds. It was found that the obtained resins were mainly styrene-cyclopentadiene cooligomers. Depending on the initiator used, they contained 38.8–40.41% styrene and 31.1–33.04% cyclopentadiene. The analysis of the experimental results demonstrated that the most significant effect (correlation index of 0.75–0.88) on the yield of petroleum resins had the reaction temperature. Compared with thermal oligomerization (without initiator), the use of aminoperoxides allowed increasing the product yield (453 K, 360 min, 0.064 mol/l) by 4.6–18.3%. The yield of petroleum resins did not correlate with the reaction time. Blending the obtained resins with petroleum bitumen increased the composition stability in aggressive environments.
