Violence against children continues to increase and the most concerning is sexual violence. One of the province which gets the spotlight due to the high number of violence against children is the province of Riau. This study aims to analyze the protection of child victims of violence by the Regional Government of Riau Province as well as to determine the barriers Government Regional Province of Riau  in giving protection to child victims of violence such.

Type research survey descriptive by using the method of qualitative.Research informants are determined according to their authority and research needs to answer problems through data collection observation, interview,  and documentation. The concept of theory that is used is the concept Prinst of protection specifically for children who become victims of acts of crime with indicators Efforts rehabilitation, both within the institution and outside the institution, Effort protection of the preaching of identity through the media mass and to avoid labeling, Giving assurance of safety for witnesses of victims and witnesses experts, both physically, mentally, and socially, and Providing accessibility to obtain information regarding case developments. The results of the study indicate that the Government of the Province of Riau already provide protection to child victims of violence by way of doing advocacy, protection, counseling, monitoring, and recovery after trauma. Then the government provides aid law and advocacy law to the victim at the time of the trial and the victims are also given access to information that is widest on the development of the case in court. The factors inhibiting the Government of the Regional Province of Riau in giving protection to child victims of violence is the lack of a source of power of man and awareness of the public in reporting events of violence against children either as victims or as witnesses.

This study aims to determine how the Supervision of Indragiri Hulu Regency Civil Service Police Unit in the prevention of Illegal Gold Miners in Batang Peranap Subdistrict and Indragiri Hulu District and determine the obstacles faced by unscrupulous Satpol PP members in handling Illegal Gold Miners in Batang Peranap District. This type of research which is located in the Civil Service Police Unit precisely in the District Office of Batang Peranap District uses qualitative methods, namely a study that makes humans an instrument and adapted to the reasonable situation in relation to data collection which is generally qualitative in nature and is a procedure research that produces descriptive data in the form of written or oral words from people and observable behavior. Determination of informants in this study using purposive sampling technique. Purposive sampling is a sampling technique for data sources with certain considerations that the data source is considered to know the most about what is expected, making it easier for researchers to explore objects or social situations that are being studied. Data collection techniques used consisted of observations, interviews and documentation. Based on the technical analysis above, the researcher assessed and concluded that the supervisory role of the Indragiri Hulu civil service police unit in preventing illegal gold miners in the Batangapap subdistrict still lacked the role and lack of firmness by the Satpol PP, the Police and the TNI in handling the case so that there were still many who violating these regulations. This can occur because there are still obstacles that still interfere with the performance of the Satpol PP, such as lack of public awareness, insufficient regulations, and a lack of oversight by the Satpol PP and the Police.

Health risks from desalinated seawater used for human consumption: The case of Honaine Plant (Northwest Algeria)
Authors:   Tlemcen University, Algeria, Badid Naima , Hadji Fatiha
Published: December 2023

Background: Honaine desalination plant produces 200,000 m3/day of drinking water, and applies a reverse osmosis process with sand/anthracite filters for pre-treatment. Objective: This study aim to explore the quality of treated water (TW) and to address any potential health risks. Methods: Samples of TW were collected daily, three times during the same period, for one month to investigate the physico-chemical characteristics of desalination. They were analyzed for calcium, magnesium, pH, alkalinity, TDS, free-chlorine, hardness, nitrite and sulfate. Results: After comparing the standards set by WHO and Algeria, the results showed that the TW of Honaine plant had low-mineral content, with a noticeable deficiency of calcium (21.22 ± 0.6 mg L-1) magnesium (1.74 ± 0.26 mg L-1), and sulfate (0.02 ± 0.01 mg L-1). The levels of chlorine (0.53 ± 0.08 mg L-1) and nitrites (0.003 ± 0.00 mgL-1) were lower than what the guidelines prescribe. The alkalinity and hardness of the water categorized it as being moderately hard. As for the taste, the TDS value (289.24 ± 26.86 mgL-1) suggests that the TW is excellent but the presence of chlorine negatively influences its palatability. The values of alkalinity value (63.73 ± 1.05 mgL-1) and pH (8.42 ± 0.021) of TW remain in line with recommendations. The hardness value (60.32 ± 0.73 mgL-1) shows that TW is moderately hard and softer than standards. Conclusion: Our findings showed that desalinated TW reflected significant low-mineral content of many healthy elements.

Authors: Simanjuntak Presli Panusunan
Published: December 2023

Forest fires occur every year in Indonesia, one of the regions with the highest forest fires is Jambi Province. Significant losses and negative impacts due to forest fires cause the need for an effort to prevent forest fires early on with the detection of forest and land fires. One method that can provide information about the level of forest fire based on daily weather data input is the Fire Weather Index (Fire Weather Index / FWI) system, which was first developed by Canada. This study aims to estimate burn area in the Jambi region by using temperature, rainfall, humidity, and wind speed data. Other supporting data are hotspot frequency data from NASA-FIRMS satellites and data fraction of burn area from GFED satellites on a daily scale of the period 2006-2016. In this study an analysis of the relationship between these data variables and burn area estimation was carried out using multiple linear regression methods then validated to see the level of suitability of the output model forecasts. The results showed that the predictor variables that had the highest relationship were hotspots frequency, Buildup Index (BUI), and FWI index with correlation values of 0.888, 0.739 and 0.753, respectively. The estimation model of the resulting burnt area is: Burned Area = -966.6146918 + (7.519631195 × BUI) + (147.4865469 × FWI) + (14.5373858 × Hotspots) + 116, with an RMSE value of 635.524 and MAE of 491.38

Authors: Oram Binod , Morwal Monu , Bandyopadhyay Biman
Published: December 2023

H-bonded complexes between CHCl3 and H2S have been studied in cold and inert argon matrix using IR spectroscopy. Both molecules were found to act as both H-bond donor and acceptor, resulting in two types of, namely C–H‧‧‧S and S–H‧‧‧Cl H-bonds. The H-bonded complex formation has been confirmed by monitoring the spectral changes in ν_(C-H) and ν_(S-H) fundamental vibrations. C–H‧‧‧S H-bonded dimer have been found to be more stable compared to S–H‧‧‧Cl H-bonded dimer. Besides the binary complex, CHCl3-(H2S)2 and (CHCl3)2-H2S complex has also been identified. The quantum chemical results were found to corroborate the experimental findings.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a devastating and irreversible lung disease, causes structural and functional defects in the bronchial epithelium, the (ir)reversibility of which remains unexplored in vitro. This study aimed to investigate the persistence of COPD-related epithelial defects in long-term airway epithelial cultures derived from non-smokers, smokers, and COPD patients. Barrier function, polarity, cell commitment, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and inflammation were evaluated and compared with native epithelium characteristics. The role of inflammation was explored using cytokines. We show that barrier dysfunction, compromised polarity, and lineage abnormalities observed in smokers and COPD persisted for up to 10 wk. Goblet cell hyperplasia was associated with recent cigarette smoke exposure. Conversely, increased IL-8/CXCL-8 release and abnormal epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition diminished over time. These ex vivo observations matched surgical samples' abnormalities. Cytokine treatment induced COPD-like changes in control cultures and reactivated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in COPD cells. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the airway epithelium of smokers and COPD patients retains a multidimensional memory of its original state and previous cigarette smoke-induced injuries, maintaining these abnormalities for extended periods.
Challenges in learning foreign languages encountered by intermediate-level students
Authors: Kalashnyk O. , Ovcharenko L. , Mazhula T.
Published: December 2023

This article is dedicated to exploring and clarifying the challenges faced by intermediate-level learners aiming for advanced proficiency in a target language, but instead encountering a period of stagnation. Within this context, a survey of the studentsʼ expectations regarding learning outcomes revealed that the most highly valued achievement was the ability to conduct targeted searches on the Internet using their recently acquired language skills. Following closely was the recognition of the influential impact of fluent intercultural dialogue with foreigners as the second priority on the path to language proficiency. This capacity not only broadens professional horizons but also increases engagement in the virtual environment.

Understanding studentsʼ needs is a fundamental task in education. To address this, we suggest a range of productive strategies and tools to evaluate intermediate-level learnersʼ needs. These include diagnostic evaluations, self-evaluation, needs analysis surveys, feedback monitoring, cultural competence assessment, learning style monitoring, technology usage and preferences, and continuous formative assessment. Applying these techniques allows educators to acquire a comprehensive understanding of studentsʼ requirements, inclinations, and obstacles. It empowers teachers to customize their pedagogical approaches and content, providing enhanced support to students navigating through the stagnation phase.

Having determined studentsʼ expectations and the obstacles they faced at the intermediate level, the authors have drawn conclusions regarding the correlation between these factors, noting a direct dependency between them. The article proposes methods and approaches aimed at addressing the dissonance between learnersʼ expectations and demotivating difficulties. These approaches include a task-based approach, error correction, individualized feedback, cultural immersion, co-teaching for dual guidance, and peer collaboration. Additionally, it is suggested that to rectify occasional errors, teachers should engage students in methods involving open-ended questions. They should instruct students in skills relevant to effective conversational performance, such as opening conversations, turn-taking, interrupting, changing the subject, understanding adjacency pairs, and closing conversations.
Development of critical thinking in the process of improving productive communication skills
Authors: Revutska S.
Published: December 2023

The author addresses a crucial issue for higher educational institutions – the development of students’ critical thinking abilities. Every teacher in a higher educational setting, irrespective of their discipline, must both foster and cultivate students’ critical thinking skills within their classes. This is particularly vital for foreign language instructors. The article aims to substantiate the efficacy of implementing specific techniques aimed at enhancing students’ critical thinking within higher educational processes and to systematize these techniques for fostering critical thinking in foreign language classes, thereby enhancing productive skills such as speaking and writing.

Despite extensive scholarly exploration, the study of critical thinking, both in its general scope and various facets, remains an inexhaustible and vital field that will continue to evolve. Concerning the cultivation of critical thinking skills in the process of learning foreign languages, it is noteworthy that the breadth of research in this area remains vast. Within the communicative approach to foreign language learning, where lessons are designed to mirror real-life scenarios and involve constant comparison between one’s native language and the foreign language being learned, critical thinking must remain a constant presence.

While the techniques employed in receptive language skills (reading and listening) may be adequate, those used to develop critical thinking during sessions focused on refining productive language skills (speaking and writing) in higher education institutions require further enhancement. Consequently, a comprehensive analysis of this aspect of the broader issue demands ongoing attention. The article presents an exhaustive list of techniques applicable during sessions aimed at cultivating productive skills (speaking and writing), aligning them with specific critical thinking skills and the mental operations that accompany them.
Training of engineers on a bilingual basis: specifics of the English mathematical language
Authors: Snizhko N.
Published: December 2023

Due to globalization processes in higher education, the use of English as the medium of instruction is becoming more widespread in non-English-speaking countries. Bilingual education is actively being implemented in Ukraine, where professional disciplines are taught in a foreign language, primarily English. This article emphasizes that in bilingual education, the foreign language serves not only as a goal but also as a means of comprehending specialized knowledge. Consequently, the issues related to the nuances of employing a foreign language within specific subject areas, especially when teaching professional disciplines at technical universities, are highly relevant.

The article underscores that, at present, only specific aspects of the challenges associated with bilingual higher education have been identified. A comprehensive concept of bilingual professional education in Ukraine has yet to be fully developed. In particular, the methodological and technological foundations for bilingual education in professional engineering and technical disciplines remain underdeveloped.

The primary objective of this work is to explore the distinctive features of the English mathematical language within the context of bilingual training for future engineers. The article also analyzes the use of mathematical symbols in acquiring relevant linguistic conventions. It highlights various linguistic aspects of mathematical English texts and conducts a comparative analysis between mathematical and general literary language, examining their shared characteristics and differences.

From this perspective, the article delves into the semantic and syntactic aspects of mathematical language, its vocabulary, terminology, and the role of symbols in mathematical expressions. Particular attention is devoted to the use of variables in standard expressions. Various types of variables are identified, including terms, characteristics, and references.

The article introduces the concept of “highlighting a form in mathematical language and filling this form with variables”, essentially associating structure with content. The practical application of this concept results in the creation of mathematical templates or clichés, which are utilized in bilingual mathematics education. The article provides examples of such templates and illustrates how they can be employed.

Practical experience confirms the effectiveness of this approach, especially when teaching higher mathematics in English to students pursuing engineering and technical specialties. It demonstrates that students can quickly grasp the fundamentals of the English mathematical language through this method
Contrastive approach in teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language
Authors: Trostynska O.
Published: December 2023

The article continues a series of studies dedicated to teaching the Ukrainian language to foreign students who either know or have experience in studying Russian. This group comprises foreigners from post-Soviet countries, as well as foreign master’s and postgraduate students who previously studied in Ukrainian higher education institutions in Russian. In compliance with the Law on Education, they are now studying Ukrainian or learning it as the state language of their current country of study.

The mastery of a new foreign language, as is commonly known, is built upon existing speaking experience, which determines the methodological necessity of comparing the systems of the known language with the language being studied. Such a comparative analysis allows the identification of common features in both languages and facilitates the application of previously acquired knowledge and skills in learning a new foreign language. Interference, understood as the interaction of different language systems, directly impacts the acquisition of a new language system. The foundation for studying and regulating interference processes lies in the contrastive approach. Contrastive linguistics aims to identify differences and similarities between modern languages, aiding in determining the directions of interference and explaining the cause of typical errors.

In our previous articles, we explored interference effects when Russian-speaking foreigners studied the Ukrainian language, focusing on phonetics, grammar, and syntax. These studies involved a comparative analysis of the functional-communicative organization of sentences, exemplified by the examination of ways to express subject-predicate relations in Ukrainian and Russian.

Functional-communicative grammar emphasizes the pivotal role of syntax as a system that organizes all other language levels. It views a sentence from a communicative organizational perspective as an utterance formed according to a specifically defined structural scheme, with the structural core being the predicate. The predicate designates specific positions for the participants in the situation described by the proposition (subject names or actants) and their quantity.

The proposed article investigates various types of extenders for the predicative centre of sentences, considers primary methods of expressing object, meaning, and circumstantial relations in both simple and complex sentences, and highlights key differences in expressing these relations between Ukrainian and Russian. These differences merit the attention of Russian-speaking learners to prevent interference errors.

The methodical recommendations provided herein may prove beneficial to teachers and methodologists in developing training programs, crafting textbooks, and designing teaching materials for Ukrainian language instruction tailored to specific groups of foreign learners. They also serve as valuable resources for novice teachers in preparing for practical classes.
Communicative and linguistic translation tools for academic adaptation of educational migrants in crisis conditions
Authors: Ushakova N. , Dubichynskyi V.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to solving the urgent scientific and methodological problem of adaptation of migrants to living conditions in a new socio-cultural space, which is caused by the current crisis conditions that have developed in Europe and the world and pose a threat not only to the health, but also to the lives of millions of people. A significant part of migration flows is made up of students who master their future profession at foreign universities, in particular in Polish higher education institutions.

Modern approaches to determining the structure of communicative competence of an educational migrant, types of adaptation, and tasks of language training are analyzed. The level of proficiency in the language of instruction is the main factor of the success of the educational process. It has been found that todayʼs conditions require clarification of the composition of participants of the academic adaptation of foreign students. The authors believe that at the initial stage of the adaptation process, the role of translators increases significantly. The requirements for the structure of communicative competence of an educational migrant and the professional and communicative competence of a translator have been clarified. A list of actual communicative situations in the domestic, educational, professional, administrative, socio-cultural spheres of communication is determined, examples of lexical units that will ensure the implementation of communicative tasks are provided.

For the formation of professional translation competence, the development of communicative and linguistic tools is proposed: the creation of an educational complex consisting of a syllabus of an elective discipline, a manual, the theoretical and practical sections of which will provide linguistic and methodical guidelines for the formation of interpretation and translation skills in situations of adaptation of educational migrants. It is also proposed to add a complex dictionary of a new type to the toolkit, which will combine the characteristics of different types of lexicographic works and perform the task of interpreting and explaining current lexical units.

The developed linguomethodical principles for the creation of an educational complex for the formation of professional and communicative competence of translators can become an invariant model for the creation of variable methodical materials for teaching translation from/into other languages.
Pedagogical grammar as the framework of TEFL research. Part 15. Age and foreign language acquisition: biological, cognitive and affective factors
Authors: Chernovaty L.
Published: December 2023

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the three groups of factors (biological (neurological), cognitive and affective), which are believed to be related to the impact of the learnersʼ age on the foreign language acquisition. Having analyzed the available research data concerning the possible role of biological aspects the hypothetic critical age may be based on (laterization, puberty, plasticity of specific brain areas, neuronsʼ maturation time, the thalamus hypothesis), the author formulates the preliminary conclusion about the contradictive data on the issue and the need for further research in the area. The same generally applies to the cognitive and affective aspects of the problem. The age differences in the foreign language learning can only partially be explained by different attitudes to language as an object of acquisition of children and adults considering a wide range of varieties within each of the said groups. The difference in adult and child acquisition strategies can be explained by a number of cognitive factors, such as the strong social attitude to the use of the native and foreign languages, as well as the ability of abstract thinking in adults. The cognitive development can explain why teenagers learn the language better than younger children, but it cannot account for the advantage of teenagers in the field of pronunciation acquisition or the childrenʼs better results in speaking over long periods of time. As far as affective aspects are concerned, many adults have problems in passing through the crucial stage (cultural stress) or they do not pass it through at all. In typical cases of language acquisition, most affective factors in the language environment are unfavorable for adults and favorable or neutral for children, creating unequal learning conditions. At the same time, some adults manage (due to individual and other factors) to approach the affective parameters of the childʼs conditions of acquisition. This may be an explanation for cases of adultsʼ rapid and effective acquisition of the foreign language.
Legal error as a concept of general theoretical jurisprudence
Authors: Shulha Anatolyi
Published: December 2023

Introduction. After presenting error as a social phenomenon, the article focuses on legal error, which is understood as a legally significant action (or inaction) in a state of good faith delusion, the result of which does not correspond to its purpose(s), can or should be corrected, and does not or does not entail legal liability. The author formulates the concept of a legal error, identifies its main features, and also creates a classification of its main types (by legal qualification). The purpose of the article is primarily to characterize legal error from the perspective of general theoretical jurisprudence, to define it as a generic legal concept with justification of its terminological form and internal logic.

Summary of the main research results. "Mistake" is a well-established social phenomenon. One of its types is a legal error. According to its main features (objective and subjective), it is a legally significant (lawful, unlawful) behavior in the form of action or inaction; it is behavior in a state of good faith delusion; it is behavior whose result does not correspond to its purpose(s); its negative (undesirable) result can or should be corrected; it is behavior that does not or does not entail legal liability. The distinction between the types of legal error ("by legal qualification") indicates that it is: lawful behavior (permissible); objectively unlawful act ("innocent act"); error ("positive", "negative" by consequences) in the unlawfulness of an act; error as a purposeful result of an offense (deception).

Conclusions. According to the legal qualification, a legal error is a dualistic phenomenon, it is a lawful or unlawful action (inaction). The unconsciousness of an error in thinking is traditionally reflected in the term "bona fide delusion" (awareness of an error means the absence of a "state of delusion"). According to the source of the delusion, it is necessary to distinguish between action (inaction) in a state of delusion as a result of a mistake and action (inaction) in a state of delusion as a result of deception. The teleological inadequacy ("target irrelevance") of the result of behavior is an external expression of the error of a specific targeted action (inaction) of a person as a subject of goal setting. A legal error as an objectively unlawful act (an innocent act which makes intent as a form of guilt impossible) is a law implementation error which draws attention to the need to distinguish between an "honest mistake" and an "intentional mistake" (having the features of "deception", "falsification") as opposite phenomena. The classification of types of legal error is not limited to its understanding as an objectively unlawful act, to its typology by types of legal activity. This classification generally applies to both lawful and unlawful behavior of legal entities.

The absence of discrimination in the workplace is an important condition for productive work, mental and physical health of employees, preservation of a sense of human dignity and personality development, a healthy moral climate in the team, effective communication in production in vertical and horizontal planes and other necessary processes in the field of work, since any labor team is not only a production, but also a social environment. The negative impact of discrimination is felt far beyond the boundaries of a specific workplace, as negative emotions affect a person's family, friendships, and other social relationships.

Anti-discrimination problems are the subject of research by specialists in legal, social and economic sciences, in particular, the legal protection of employees is being studied according to individual characteristics: gender, disability, HIV-positive status, migration, gender identity, ethnic or linguistic minorities, etc. There are a number of international and national regulations that prohibit unequal treatment of employees on grounds unrelated to a person's qualifications, productivity, and business qualities. Prohibition of mobbing (harassment) and establishment of responsibility for such actions became a relatively new phenomenon for national legislation.

Adherence to the principle of equal treatment of employees and non-discrimination is one of the main areas of activity of the International Labor Organization, which is reflected in the norms of a number of conventions and recommendations. One of the latest is Convention No. 190 on Violence and Harassment, adopted by the ILO in 2019, which once again emphasizes the importance of creating decent working conditions for individuals on the basis of equality in the absence of any violence or harassment. In Ukrainian legislation, there are norms regarding the support of certain vulnerable groups of employees - minors, persons of pre-retirement age, internally displaced persons, persons with disabilities and others. This phenomenon is sometimes called "positive discrimination", which is socially determined.

Discrimination and mobbing must be excluded from labor relations as those that reduce the quality of life, hinder decent work and human development, therefore the presence of clearly defined norms that establish responsibility for such actions is very important. Anti-discrimination legislation provides for disciplinary, material, financial, administrative and criminal liability for relevant offenses. Changes were made to the administrative legislation regarding the establishment of liability for mobbing (harassment) at the workplace, but there are no clearly defined norms regarding liability for violation of the prohibition of discrimination, as well as no definition of the act itself.

The fractal structure of the blade-type lines of shells of extinct forms of ammonites of various types is investigated. These lines correspond to the connecting seams between the previous and new chambers that the mollusc builds during its gradual growth. Evolutionarily older forms have nearly straight or wavy seams with low tortuosity (the ratio of line length to end-point distance). Over the course of evolution, the shape of these lines has become more complex and acquired fractal properties, so that evolutionarily new types have connecting seams of a very complex shape. The fractal dimensions Df of the blade lines were measured using the box-counting method. It was shown that the fractal dimensions of the lobed lines of shells of different evolutionary ages increase from Df= 1.1 to Df = 1.9. In addition, with an increase in the chamber number, the Df values increase and remain larger on the outer surface of the chamber than on the inner one. The relationship between the fractal structure and an increase in the mechanical strength of the weld is discussed.
DETERMINATION OF EXTERNAL IRRADIATION FROM SOURCES WITH COMPLEX GEOMETRY CONTAINING RADIOACTIVE WASTE

A combined technique using both Monte-Carlo and quasi-analytic method has been developed for calculation of irradiation from complex objects containing radioactive waste. Monte Carlo method is used to calculate spectral, angular and spatial distributions of γ-quanta close to one of the surfaces of the concrete cask loaded with containers filled with radioactive waste (RW). Radiation characteristics at the prescribed distance are determined by integrating the point sources with calculated distributions over thissurface. Summation of photons of external radiation from individual RW isotopes allows finding the photon flux for any storage time. Application of the technique allows to calculate asymmetric loading of casks with containers filled with RW of different activity and to optimize the arrangement of the casks in the RW storage area. This allows reducing the effect of radiation-absorbed dose on the service personnel and on the areas surrounding RW storage.

Squaraines represent a class of organic dyes operating in red and near-infrared regions. Due to their unique optical characteristics, such as high extinction coefficients, reduced background fluorescence and light scattering, photostability, these fluorophores attract ever-growing attention as prospective bioimaging agents. The present contribution overviews the spectral properties and some biological applications of the novel squaraine dye SQ-1. This probe was found to possess very high lipid-associating ability manifesting itself in a sharp increase of its emission. Binding of SQ-1 to the lipid bilayers containing zwitterionic and anionic lipids was found to be controlled mainly by hydrophobic interactions. Analysis of SQ-1 spectral behavior in the model membrane systems containing heme proteins revealed the dye sensitivity to the reactive oxygen species. This effect was supposed to originate from the reaction between lipid radicals and SQ-1 occuring at the squaric moiety or in its vicinity. Resonance energy transfer studies highlight the applicability of SQ-1 to structural characterization of amyloid fibrils.

In this paper, to obtain streams of thermal and epithermal neutrons are used delayed neutrons emitted from the target with a fissile material. The target preliminarily activated with help of electron beam from linear accelerator with an energy of 20 MeV and a power of 9 Watts. At the same time to obtain a stream of thermal as well as epithermal neutron density 6 10^-5 n / (cm^2 s) The results of experiment are presented where half-decay curves have been measured of emitting delayed neutrons radioactive nuclei produced in the fission process. It has been shown that the activated target, which contains the fissile material, presents a compact small size source of delayed neutrons. It can be delivered to the formator where thermal and epithermal neutrons are formed during a certain time period with help of the moderator, absorber and collimator. Then this target is moved to the activator being replaced with another target. Thus, pulsed neutron flux is produced. The duration of neutron pulse corresponds to the presence time of the activated target in the formator, and time interval between pulses is determined by the delivery time of the target from the activator to the formator. Given that the yield of neutrons from the target is directly proportional to the power of the beam of accelerated electrons, shows that the beam power of 1.5 - 3 kW, the flux density of thermal and epithermal neutrons can reach the values of (2-3) 10^9 n / (cm^2 s). Such a neutron beam can be used in nuclear medicine, in particular, in neutron capture therapy of oncologic diseases.
