Critical Edition of the Supplicatory Canon by St. Kirill of Turov
Authors:   Moscow Theological Academy, Yudin Dalmat
Published: December 2022

Among the hymnographic works of St. Kirill, Bishop of Turov, previously the author of the article identified two independent canons of repentance. The Great Canon of Repentance has survived only in fragments, while for the Supplicatory Canon copies of the full composition are known and its text can be established. The critical edition of the Supplicatory Canon was prepared on the basis of thirteen copies of (14th–16th centuries), as well as fourteen additional sources containing fragments or individual texts of the Canon. As a result of textological research, several types of the Supplicatory Canon text were identified: the copies of the full composition turned out to be the closest to the archetype (i.e., the text that is closest to the author’s), while the abbreviated copies contain later regional versions of the text and are divided into three groups. The analysis of the discrepancies also made it possible to identify the individual characteristics of the best copies and the degree of their textological significance.
“There Was neither Voice nor Hearing in David, for He Was Horrified:” What Does the Description of Emotional State of Old Russian Villain Suggest?
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Borisova Svetlana A.
Published: December 2022

The article examines a fragment from The Tale of the Blinding of Vasilko Terebovlsky — a story about the feelings of the Vladimir-Volyn prince David Igorevich before committing the atrocity he had conceived. The author divides the description of David’s emotional state into several parts, which are analyzed separately. It is based on the identification of literary parallels that are used to construct the story about the prince’s feelings. The identification of sources and related texts for the analyzed passage helps to understand the meaning of the description of the villain’s emotions. At first, the focus of the research is on the phrase “ne bѣ <…> glasa ni poslushan’ӕ” (“there was neither voice nor hearing”). Then the meaning of the verb “үzhasl”sѧ” (“was horrified”) and its role in the story of David’s feelings are explored. Here, in addition to identifying a literary parallel to the fragment, other examples from The Tale of Bygone Years containing words with the root “үzhas” (“horror”) are analyzed. The paper ends with the analysis of the mention of “lest’” (“flattery”), which David “imѣӕ v serdtsi” (“has in his heart”). The findings help to clarify how to understand the description of prince’s emotional state and what the function of the story in chronicle narrative is.
Prayers in the Vita of Mikhail Yaroslavich of Tver
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Andreeva Ekaterina A.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the functioning of a small genre — genre of prayer in the Vita of Mikhail Yaroslavich of Tver. The importance of prayers is determined, first of all, by the object of image and situation in which the main character is shown. Most of the prayers, which are supplicating in function, containing an individual appeal to God, are concentrated in the scene of Mikhail of Tver’s languor in prison on the eve of execution. They are based on the Psalter text, to which a hero constantly refers. The skillful and masterful selection of Holy Scriptures texts indicates that hagiographer is a well-educated and knowledgeable person connected with the church surroundings. Prayers play an important role in revealing an image of the main character: thanks to them, the psychological portrait of the Russian prince-martyr is recreated.
Key Motifs in Old Russian Hagiography of the Lithuanian Martyrs Anthony, John and Eustathius: to the Problem of Hagiographical Topic
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Dorofeeva Lyudmila G. , Zhilina Natalia P. ,   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University
Published: December 2022

The article examines the key motifs in the Vita of the Lithuanian Martyrs Anthony, John and Eustathius. The question of relationship between “hagiographic scheme” and “live content” of Vita, which consists in the uniqueness of saints’ personality and poetics of “nuances” (G.P. Fedotov), is resolved. The leading motifs that determine the content and structure of Vita are the motif of acting like Christ (“imitatio Christi”) and the motif of brotherhood (kinship), which is considered in their connection and mutual influence. The first and main topos of the martyrdom lives “imitatio Christi” is influenced in this hagiography by the second key motif, topos of the brotherhood, which makes up the storyline of brothers Anthony and John. “Imitatio Christi” is the first and main topos in Vita of martyrs. The content of the motif is determined by the opposition of flesh (brotherhood by blood) and Spirit (brotherhood by the faith in Christ). Elder brother John after going through temptation by flesh, fear of suffering and death, agrees to act according to pagan customs outwardly, while maintaining faith internally. But this leads to his falling away from Christ and to Anthony’s rejection of any kinship with him. John’s return to Christ and his way to martyrdom is associated with his kindred love for Anthony, which develops the meaning of brotherhood in the Spirit, while the topos “imitatio Christi” is represented here by its semantic variant — the way of the saint “not following Christ, but towards Him” (T.R. Rudi). The image of Eustathius, adding to and thus “tripling” the holiness of his relatives — martyrs Anthony and John, introduces the idea of Trinity of God, expressed in building the church in the name of Holy Trinity on place of the martyr’s death of his brothers, the saints, which also brings additional meaning to the motif of “imitatio Christi” — men’s service to Trinital God.
Chronicle News about the Scriptorium Activity of Vladimir Vasilkovich Volynsky (Attemption of Reading)
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Pautkin Alexey A.
Published: December 2022

The article considers the final fragment of posthumous praise of Vladimir Vasilkovich Volynsky, which contains unique information about the creation of handwritten books by order and with personal participation of the prince. This text is read as part of Khlebnikov list of the Ipatiev Chronicle, which has preserved a number of features of the protograph. Turning to this component of narrative about the reign of prince-philosopher allows us not only to evaluate the nature of activities of the local scriptorium and state of applied art in the region, which has experienced repeated Tatar raids. The geography of book donations testifies to the consistent desire to establish Vladimir-Volynsky as a spiritual center of Russia south. Church-organizing activity is becoming an important aspect of politics in the context of a new fragmentation of the south-western lands and increasing external threats. The analyzed material allows us to make a number of clarifications concerning the place of writing praise and personality of its creator. A detailed story about the book-writing and educational activities of Volyn prince contributes to the understanding of value guidelines and ideological orientation of the entire Volyn code of the end of the 13th century.
Theme of Authority in the Words Selected from the Holy Scriptures
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Demicheva Natalia A.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the work Words Selected from the Holy Scriptures..., dedicated to the Novgorod campaign of Ivan III of Russia in 1471. The work has integrity, independence, contrasts stylistically with the chronicle’s material. The theme of authority, which is presented as given from above, from God, plays an important role in the Words Selected from the Holy Scriptures... Ivan III of Russia is depicted as an exemplary, ideal ruler on earth. At the same time, Marfa Boretskaya and Pimen are opposed to him as false pretenders to the authority, put forward by the Devil from hell. The text also emphasizes that Ivan III of Russia is the heir of the princes-predecessors (including Kievan Rus’), which determines his claims to the possession of Novgorod. This is aimed at justifying the justice of the Novgorod campaign of 1471 and, more broadly, the policy of the Grand Duke associated with the collection of Russian lands and the creation of a single Russian state.
On the Problems of Studying Verse of The Tale of Igor’s Campaign
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Ranchin Andrey M.
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the problems of determining the metric of The Tale of Igor’s Campaign. The objects of the research are works by A.Yu. Chernov, who believes that this work was written by the author’s tonic verse, unlike the tonic verse of folk poetry, and by S.L. Nikolaev, who proves that it uses a syllabo-tonic verse of different meters and claims that this verse is characteristic of folklore. The article demonstrates that those described by A.Yu. Chernov rhymes and other consonances-alliterations do not divide the text of The Tale of Igor’s Campaign into verses and that there are no signs of the metric organization of the text in the monument. It is shown that S.L. Nikolaev arbitrarily ascribes to the text of The Tale of Igor’s Campaign the syllabo-tonic principle, which is also generally alien to folk poetry. The very reconstruction of the stress system in the work, carried out by the researcher, raises a number of questions. The considered experiments in describing the metric The Tale of Igor’s Campaign sin by breaking away from the real literary context, violating the principles of historicism. This work does not belong to poetry, but to rhythmic prose. As we know it, The Tale of Igor’s Campaign is an example of literary, not oral, text.
Can a corporate social responsibility committee be utilized to enhance the effectiveness of independent directors?
Authors: Pisano Sabrina , D’Amore Gabriella , Landriani Loris , Lepore Luigi
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of board independence on environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and the moderating role of a corporate social responsibility (CSR) committee on the relationship between these variables. The sample includes 2,925 companies from 18 industries and 38 countries for the period of 2002–2020. To test our hypotheses, we developed a regression model based on the panel data dependence technique. The results confirm that the establishment of a CSR committee within the board moderates the relationship between board independence and ESG performance. A CSR committee acts as a booster into enhancing the effectiveness of the board as a corporate governance mechanism. This article contributes to the academic literature evidencing the importance of establishing a sub-committee within the board of directors delegated to CSR issues. It provides also interesting insights for companies and policy makers for formulating future guidelines on corporate governance.

Published: December 2022

Relating the mass eruption rate (MER) of explosive eruptions to column
height in the atmosphere is key to reconstructing past eruptions and
forecasting volcanic hazards. Using 134 eruptive events from the
Independent Volcanic Eruption Source Parameter Archive (IVESPA v1.0), we
explore the canonical MER-height relationship for four measures of
column height: spreading level, sulfur dioxide height, and top height
from both directly observed plumes and those reconstructed from
deposits. These relationships show significant differences and should be
chosen carefully for operational and research applications. The roles of
atmospheric stratification, wind, and humidity remain challenging to
assess across the large range of eruptive conditions in this database,
ultimately resulting in empirical relationships outperforming analytical
models that account for atmospheric conditions. This finding reveals the
complexity of the height-MER relation that is difficult to constrain
based on available heterogeneous observations, which reinforces the need
for improved datasets to develop eruptive column models.

Formalization and verification of Kafka messaging mechanism using CSP
Authors: Xu Junya , Yin Jiaqi , Zhu Huibiao , Xiao Lili
Published: December 2022

Apache Kafka is an open source distributed messaging system based on the publish-subscribe model, which achieves low latency, high throughput and good load balancing. As a popular messaging system, the transmission of messages between applications is one of the core functions of Kafka. Therefore, the reliability and security of data in the process of message transmission in Kafka have become the focus of attention. The formal methods can analyze whether a model is highly credible. Therefore, it is significant to analyze Kafka messaging mechanism which describes the communication process and rules between each module entity in Kafka from the perspective of formal methods. In this paper, we apply the process algebra CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes) and the model checking tool PAT (Process Analysis Toolkit) to analyze Kafka messaging mechanism. The results of verification show that the model caters for its specification and guarantees the reliability of messages in the normal communication process. Moreover, in order to further analyze the security of Kafka messaging mechanism, we add the intruder model and the authentication protocol Kerberos model and compare the verification results of Kafka messaging mechanism with or without the secure protocol Kerberos. The results show that the Kerberos protocol has improved the security of Kafka messaging mechanism in some aspects, but there are still some security loopholes.

A biphasic [Mn(dipya)(H2O)4](tpht)/{[Zn(dipya)(tpht)]?H2O}n complex material, I (dipya = 2,2?-dipyridylamine, tpht2? = dianion of terephthalatic acid) was synthesized by ligand exchange reaction and characterized by XRPD and FTIR spectroscopy. A ZnO/ZnMn2O4 composite, II, has been prepared via thermal decomposition of I in an air atmosphere at 450 ?C. XRPD, FTIR and FESEM analyses of II revealed the simultaneous presence of spherical nanoparticles of wurtzite ZnO and elongated nanoparticles of spinel ZnMn2O4. The specific surface area of II was determined by the BET method, whereas the volume and average size of the mesopores were calculated in accordance with the BJH method. The measurements of the mean size, polydispersity index and zeta potential showed colloidal instability of II. Two band gap values of 2.4 and 3.3 eV were determined using UV?Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, while the measurements of photoluminescence revealed that II is active in the blue region of the visible spectrum. Testing of composite II as a pigmentary material showed that it can be used for the colouring of a ceramic glaze.

Published: December 2022

The effect of brain area connectivity caused by an imbalance of the glutamate neurotransmitter in the brains patients experiencing anxiety is determined by α2δ subunit calcium channel activity. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has been investigated to have anxiolytic effects on in vitro studies by its modulation through GABA, NMDA, and serotonin receptors, especially in the amygdala and hippocampus. However, the molecular mechanism of Lavender small molecules to reduce anxiety through calcium channels remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate lavender essential oil compounds which are potentially anxiolytic through the in-silico approach as an inhibitor of the α2δ subunit VGCC. Compound tabulations were obtained from earlier studies and collected from Pubchem database, while the three-dimensional structure of α2δ the subunit was retrieved from RCSB PDB. The physicochemical properties of the compounds were analyzed by using SwissADME and pkCSM. Binding affinity screening and molecular interaction analysis were conducted through CB-Dock web server. From 32 compounds demonstrated for docking against α2δ VGCC, four of them including geranyl formate, neryl alcohol, and phellandral have most binding site similarities compared to pregabalin by pointing at Arg217. This residue was known to exerts the pharmacological action of pregabalin to reduce anxiety and pain. The binding affinity of the geranyl formate (-6,6 kcal/mol), neryl alcohol (-6,4 kcal/mol), and phellandral (-6,2 kcal/mol) were comparable to pregabalin (-6,8 kcal/mol). Molecular dynamic was indicated to predict conformational change of α2δ subunit after superimposed. Thus, current study was indicated that geranyl formate, neryl alcohol, and phellandral as lavender essential oil small molecules has potent beneficial function as anxiolytic potential candidate.

Understanding state-level variations in India’s digital transformation
Authors: Parsheera Smriti
Published: December 2022

India’s digital transformation is often described in terms of the country’s vast internet penetration, growing mobile connectivity, and widespread uptake of digital payments and other online services. Undoubtedly, India has made tremendous progress on all these fronts over the last few years. But digitalisation narratives founded upon aggregate national statistics bear the risk of assuming a homogeneity of digital access and experience in the country. This article highlights some of the state-level differences in digital access, skills, and infrastructure across India—as a basis for dispelling assumptions about the homogeneity and universality of India’s digital transformation. The article draws attention to the varying levels of digital readiness within India, and to the need to account for these variations in the design and implementation of the country’s digital initiatives.

Published: December 2022

Objectives: The adaptation of the knowledge and skills acquired in preclinical medical education to the clinics by vertical integration would be more permanent when combined with clinical skills. The aim of the study was to determine the needs of the students in clinical internship education on anatomy and to plan the relevant anatomy subjects before clinical internships by rearranging the curriculum as needed. Methods: The study was carried out on a questionnaire form applied to 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students of Bursa Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine. In addition to demographic information, 16 multiple-choice and open-ended evaluation questions were asked in the questionnaire. Results: 335 students participated in the study. 84.4% of the participants reported that they had needed basic anatomy knowledge and they had to study again before the clinical internship. 69.59% of the participants stated that among the courses taken in the basic sciences education period, anatomy should be integrated into the clinical internships. 88.24% of the participants stated that anatomy education should be integrated before starting clinical internships in the surgical departments. Conclusion: As a result of the feedback received from the students with the current study, it was seen that some of the anatomy information obtained during the preclinical basic sciences period was forgotten until the clinical internship period and they should be remembered again. We support that integrated clinical anatomy lessons should be taken into the clinical education period.

Developing a Deep Q-Learning and Neural Network Framework for Trajectory Planning
Authors: Kosuru Venkata Satya Rahul , Venkitaraman Ashwin Kavasseri
Published: December 2022

With the recent expansion in Self-Driving and Autonomy field, every vehicle is occupied with some kind or alter driver assist features in order to compensate driver comfort. Expansion further to fully Autonomy is extremely complicated since it requires planning safe paths in unstable and dynamic environments. Impression learning and other path learning techniques lack generalization and safety assurances.  Selecting the model and avoiding obstacles are two difficult issues in the research of autonomous vehicles. Q-learning has evolved into a potent learning framework that can now acquire complicated strategies in high-dimensional contexts to the advent of deep feature representation.  A deep Q-learning approach is proposed in this study by using experienced replay and contextual expertise to address these issues. A path planning strategy utilizing deep Q-learning on the network edge node is proposed to enhance the driving performance of autonomous vehicles in terms of energy consumption. When linked vehicles maintain the recommended speed, the suggested approach simulates the trajectory using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) concept controller. Smooth trajectory and reduced jerk are ensured when employing the PID controller to monitor the terminals. The computational findings demonstrate that, in contrast to traditional techniques, the approach could investigate a path in an unknown situation with small iterations and a higher average payoff. It can also more quickly converge to an ideal strategic plan.

Thay đổi cơ cấu tuổi dân số đang định hình quỹ đạo phát triển và mang lại nhiều cơ hội cũng như thách thức cho nhiều quốc gia. Già hóa dân số không chỉ là mối lo ngại của các nền kinh tế phát triển, mà ngay cả các quốc gia đang phát triển, trong đó có Việt Nam, cũng đã bắt đầu phải đối mặt với tốc độ già hóa một cách nhanh chóng. Từ cách tiếp cận phương pháp hạch toán tăng trưởng, kết hợp với mô hình tăng trưởng tân cổ điển, nghiên cứu xây dựng hàm hồi quy mô tả các nhân tố cơ cấu nhân khẩu học có thể ảnh hưởng đến tăng trưởng kinh tế và ước tính mối liên hệ giữa những thay đổi về cơ cấu tuổi dân số với tăng trưởng GDP bình quân đầu người. Ngoài yếu tố về kinh tế như tỷ lệ tiết kiệm, độ mở thương mại có ảnh hưởng tích cực tới tăng trưởng kinh tế, kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy tỷ lệ lao động trong độ tuổi và tỷ lệ phụ thuộc trẻ cũng có tác động thúc đẩy tăng trưởng kinh tế. Ở chiều ngược lại, tỷ lệ phụ thuộc già, tỷ lệ lao động trẻ và vốn con người vẫn còn là gánh nặng cho tăng trưởng GDP bình quân đầu người ở Việt Nam trong giai đoạn 1991 – 2020.

Nghiên cứu khám phá danh mục các công bố thông tin về công cụ tài chính(CCTC) (Financial instruments disclosures-FID) theo quy định và các yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến mức độ FID của các ngân hàng thương mại (NHTM) tại Việt Nam. Dựa vào các quy định, bằng phương pháp phân tích nội dung, nghiên cứu đã xác định 107 khoản mục FID với 5 nhóm thông tin về: chính sách kế toán, bảng cân đối kế toán, kết quả kinh doanh, công bố phòng ngừa rủi ro và công cụ phái sinh, và công bố đo lường. Mức độ FID trên báo cáo tài chính(BCTC) của 23 NHTM Việt Nam giai đoạn 2016 đến 2020 theo quy định khá thấp (41%), khá khác biệt giữa các ngân hàng và một số quy định bị bỏ qua. Nghiên cứu chứng minh chất lượng kiểm toán và quy mô có ảnh hưởng cùng chiều, trong khi sở hữu nhà nước và quy mô hội đồng quản trị ảnh hưởng ngược chiều đến FID của NHTM Việt Nam. Kết quả gợi ý cần xem xét thêm về đo lường yếu tố quản trị công ty đối với các nghiên cứu tương lai.

Published: December 2022

Treatment of St. John’s wort plantlets with 1 µM triacontanol and 2 µM benzyladenine stimulates growth and metabolic processes, being an environmental-friendly approach for optimizing the cultivation of these valuable medicinal plants under controlled conditions. When the two growth regulators (a bioactive cuticular wax constituent and a cytokinin) are applied simultaneously, they act synergistically, enhancing each other’s effect on the biomass accumulation and on certain parameters of the photosynthetic light use efficiency, such as the effective quantum yield of photosystem II and the overall vitality index of the photosynthetic apparatus which performs the conversion of light energy into usable forms for carbon dioxide assimilation. The results concerning the interactions between the two externally applied growth regulators during the early development of St. John’s wort plants may lead to a more efficient cultivation of this herbal medicinal product, including the possibility to modulate the production of pharmacologically active metabolites.
Study on the influence of adolescent smoking on physical training vital capacity in eastern coastal areas
Authors: Lin Qiang
Published: December 2022

Presently, in the research processes involved in analysing the relationship between smoking and vital capacity, most researchers use statistical software to analyse, count the differences of vital capacity between different groups and carry out linear analysis or regression analysis. They cannot deeply analyse the relationship between the data, nor can they get the correlation of the data itself. Considering these limitations, this paper studies the influence of adolescent smoking on physical training vital capacity in eastern coastal areas. Based on the brief introduction of the research progress of data mining algorithm, and taking the teenagers in the eastern coastal area as the research object, the k-means algorithm and decision tree algorithm are applied to the data mining of vital capacity of physical training, after which we classify and reclassify the data, mine the rules between the data and put forward improvement strategies for the shortcomings of the algorithm itself. Finally, experiments are designed to analyse the accuracy, running time and reliability of the algorithm. The experimental results show that the improved k-means algorithm and decision tree algorithm shorten the running time and enhance the stability, and can realise the classification and mining of vital capacity data of physical training, so as to improve the reliability of experimental result analysis.
Dental photography: Why? What? How? Part 1 Why? The role of dental photography in daily practice.
Authors: Bogdan Oprea
Published: December 2022

Digital Dental Photography (DDP) represents a must-have instrument for all dentists in their daily activities. Nowadays, DDP represents a tool that is no longer reserved for a select small number of dentists but is accessible to every practitioner. Although the number of dentists who use DDP daily is increasing, there is much hesitance, many questions, and resistance regarding the introduction of dental photography in daily practice.

This series of articles aims to demystify all the misconceptions related to the DDP and offer readers a transparent image of how DDP can become the most powerful tool for their offices. All the “mysterious” terms related to the DDP will be explained, and simple protocols that can be easily incorporated in any dental office in daily practice will be presented.

This article is the first in a five-part series dedicated to DDP.

Part 1 defines the role of DDP in daily practice covering the four significant indications: documentation, communication, education, and marketing.

The purpose of this study was to examine various lipid classes as well as the protein content in rainbow trout ovaries. A total of 80 samples of Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum 1792) were collected from Kokernag and Verinag hatcheries (Jammu and Kashmir, India) between 2017 and 2019. The mature stage in female fish had the highest gonadosomatic index (GSI) and minimal GSI in the spent stage. Higher lipid content of the ovary was reported during the mature stage (36%), as compared to other pre-breeding stages. Similarly, lipid classes also showed fluctuation during the development of the ovary. The lipid classes, i.e. glycolipids, free fatty acids, cholesterol and triglycerides, had a higher content in the mature stage, while the phospholipid content was higher in the mature stage. The protein content was also higher in the mature ovary than in the other developmental stages. The study provides reference values for various biochemical parameters in rainbow trout that could be useful for population monitoring programs and for the development of diets and management methods for fish production under controlled conditions.
Safety Culture Approach For Healthcare And Nursing Institutions
Authors: Sepp Jaana
Published: December 2022

There are a few ways how to increase the rate of employees’ safety culture at an institution, one of these is a positive safety culture, which includes their proper attitudes, safety-related values, staff members’ professional competences, and their willingness to work. The key element in the offering of quality and safe services in healthcare is a positive safety quality according to definitions. The aim of the current paper is to identify potential predictors of employees’ safety behaviour and determine safety culture subcultures that support operational manager to develop proactive safety management systems (SMSs) and offer safety of patients and employees. Two independent surveys were the basis of the new proposed approach. Quantitative method approach was selected to investigate safety culture subcultures in Estonian healthcare and nursing institutions. According to the proposed approach, there are crucial subcultures (e.g., just, reporting, learning, professional competences, and psychosocial well-being), which should be developed and periodically evaluated within an organisation. This measurement should have a clear and shared understanding of patient safety goals and occupational health and safety (OHS). The general management of organisations should consider implementation of assessment as a proactive approach to use the SMSs. The sustainability and proactivity of the proposed approach lies in defining action plans for continuous improvement and employees’ involvement in patient safety and OHS management.

Nitrates and heavy metals are two of the most significant groundwater pollutants that have an impact on people’s health all around the world. In order to assess their risk to children’s health, this study aims to determine the total iron, manganese, and nitrate content in drinking water sources of non-centralized water supply of the educational institutions in the rural settlements of Zhytomyr region. A total of 114 water samples from wells and bores used by the educational institutions to supply domestic and drinking water to rural residential areas were collected. The Measurement Laboratory of Polissia National University conducted analytical studies. The danger to children’s health was evaluated using the hazard quotient and following the methodology recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The software ArcGIS Pro was used to identify risk zones.

The average total iron content in the drinking water of the Berdichev, Zhytomyr, and Novohrad-Volinsky districts was 1.5–2.8 times higher. In all regions, the average manganese concentration did not go above the allowable level. On average, the nitrate content was also below the threshold, but in 22.6–42.9% of the samples, it exceeded the allowable level. Children aged 6–12 years were at the highest risk, and children living in Berdichev district had the highest hazard quotient at 1.972. The fact that nitrates accounted for 67–84% of the total risk indicates the danger associated with the intake of nitrates, even in amounts below the allowable concentration.
