Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) could be diagnosed either by imaging or histology, and laboratory parameters from RFT such as AST, ALT, GGT, as well as UP. In this study, data were collected from Advanced Pathology Sdn. Bhd. The data collected from random population in the year of 2020 were used to identify the association between the parameters of AST, ALT, GGT and UP in presumed NAFLD patients, which are being compared by age, and gender. The results show that the level of GGT was having an insignificant association between gender (p >0.05), but there is a statistically significant association between the age group of respondents (p <0.05). In addition, results from AST indicated that the gender of respondents has a significant relationship with AST (p <0.05), however insignificant correlation between the age group (p >0.05). While for ALT, it proved an insignificant correlation between the gender of respondents (p >0.05), but significant correlated with the age of respondents (p <0.05). Lastly, Chi-square test independence gave a result of p-value = 0.137 (p >0.05), which proved insignificant correlation between gender of respondents and presence of UP andp-value = 0.261 (p >0.05), which proved insignificant correlation between age of respondents and presence of UP.

The analysis of the literature devoted to calculation of hydrotechnical structures showed that there are recommendations that take into account the influence roughness of the channel on magnitude transformation transit flow of liquid along the length of the channel. But these recommendations are difficult to apply to reclamation systems, which include complexes of hydraulic engineering and transport facilities, because they do not take into account the characteristic features of unsteady fluid movement in such systems. Unfortunately, as of today, this issue has not been adequately addressed in modern scientific literature. The article considers the issue of determining the roughness coefficient based on the materials of field experiments on irrigation systems of Ukraine for its further use in the Saint-Venant equations for unsteady water movement in open prismatic channels. At one time, professor V.O. Bolshakov applied the method of running according to the implicit difference scheme, provided that the roughness coefficients are known, to solve the Saint-Venant equations. The authors conducted an analysis errors of field measurements of maximum depths, calculation area of live sections, etc. The absolute error of finding the drop in water levels in individual sections of the channel was determined. The results. Among the issues that were covered in the discussed publication, the main attention was paid to the issue of studying the influence of the roughness coefficient on flow elements during unsteady motion in meliorational (irrigation) systems. Also, the characteristics conducted field measurements are given, a detailed overview field data is provided, and the measured parameters at different sections research channel are listed. Conclusions. An indicative evaluation and analysis errors of the performed measurements was carried out, and recommendations were given for determining the average values of roughness coefficients for irrigation channels (channels) with a well-planned bottom and slopes, as well as for banks not covered with vegetation. The results of data processing of field observations are summarized in a table, which presents a comparison calculated values of the roughness coefficients.

The genesis of the right to work in Ukraine is analyzed in accordance with the provisions of Art. 43 of the Basic Law of the Constitution of Ukraine. The philosophical and terminological context of the "employer-employee" relationship is considered. The positive and negative aspects of the payment of an employment contract (TD) and a civil law agreement (CPU) are determined in accordance with the labor legislation of Ukraine and the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine No. 435-IV dated 16.01.2003 (edited from 01.08.2022). An analysis of the mechanisms for increasing the wages of workers in the developed countries of the world – the EU, the USA, Great Britain, etc. – was carried out. In particular, the precedents of the formation of "salary policy" by the ETUC (European Trade Union Confederation) among the 27 EU member states, the mechanisms for increasing wages and establishing the minimum (marginal) permissible limits of labor remuneration in accordance with the policy of the US Department of Labor (U.S. Department) are outlined. of Labor), features of the formation of the wage and salary policy of Great Britain, which is directed and coordinated by the National Economic Council (National Economic Council). Features of employee stimulation by increasing wages are described. The phenomenon of "work-life balance" (the balance of work and personal life) and the payment policy of enterprises as the root cause of its generation have been studied. The mechanisms of trade union protection of an employed person against systematic violations of labor legislation are outlined –– in Ukraine, the EU, the USA and Great Britain, respectively. The relationship between remuneration and the level of personal motivation of the employee has been proven. The definition of the "job satisfaction scale" (job satisfaction scale) as a psychological constant characteristic of the research-management doctrine of the USA is singled out.

The article examines the essence and main components of the concept of sustainable development. The basic principles of ensuring sustainable development in modern conditions are analyzed. The prerequisites for implementing the concept of sustainable development in business practice are substantiated. The problems in the sphere of ensuring sustainable economic development are studied. General recommendations on the implementation of the concept of sustainable development of the national economy have been formulated. For Ukraine, the implementation of the postulates of sustainable development and the declaration of sustainability as the main imperative is a necessary condition from the social, economic, competitive, and political points of view. Currently, the country has a wide range of legislative, regulatory and advisory documents for the implementation of sustainability principles. Currently, it is necessary to improve and make the most complete use of all existing elements of the mechanism for ensuring socio-economic development. Increasing the efficiency of the state's socio-economic and environmental policy, ensuring their mutual coherence and complementarity is urgent. All this will make it possible to ensure the economic well-being and competitiveness of the country while simultaneously reducing the burden on the environment. Sustainable development is positioned as an important imperative for today's and future generations, a new stage in the progressive development of humanity, which requires reforming existing approaches at all levels. The steps to formulating an effective concept of sustainable development require the following steps: determination of the existing state of instability, that is, the ways and parameters of achieving sustainability and overcoming the distance of sustainability; clear definition of the parameters on which it is expedient and possible to start working on and implement concepts and programs of sustainable development; determining the relationships between the levels of implementation of the concept of sustainability; changes in the perception of many economic, industrial, social and other processes regarding the impact on balanced development, that is, the definition of sustainable development as a doctrine of development at all levels; creation of the most complete information base and infrastructure; ensuring compliance of the legal field with sustainability requirements; adaptation of current methodological approaches to the requirements of the sustainability of the development of the national economy.

Competitiveness is one of the most important categories of the market economy. The article defines the concepts of "competitiveness", "competitiveness of the enterprise", "competitiveness of personnel", and also considers the evolution of the concept of "competitiveness" in accordance with the main approaches of economists. The internal and external factors influencing the increase in the competitiveness of the personnel of transport enterprises are indicated. Important for the competitiveness of transport enterprises, together with the technologies and methods of production organization, are the availability of professional personnel, the level of motivation, working conditions, as well as the effect of various factors that ensure the level of competitiveness of employees. The need for personnel development as a factor in increasing the efficiency of transport enterprises is substantiated. An analysis of existing approaches to determining the competitiveness of personnel was carried out. Defining the concept of personnel competitiveness, highlighting its clear characteristics and properties, factors of formation and development of personnel competitiveness, determining the directions of its development at the expense of ensuring the reliability of employees. European economic integration is one of the determining factors of modern economic development. With the need for the transition of Ukraine's economy to a post-industrial development model, its digitization and robotization, there is a need for new approaches to the formation of knowledge, abilities, skills, and competencies of personnel. In particular, in the use of the competence approach, which is directly related to changes in the nature and content of work, as well as changes in the spheres of education and professional training. Especially relevant today is the identification and involvement of the unused capabilities of employees (intellectual, psychophysiological, qualification, etc.), determining the efficiency of the enterprise and its ability to compete on the market. Taking this into account, it is necessary to talk about such quality of personnel as competitiveness.

The transition of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" to the market implementation of services for the use of freight cars caused a drop in demand for the Company's cars over the past three years by more than 1.5 times. At the same time, the decrease in the total volume of cargo transportation by rail transport amounted to about 3%. The purpose of this work is to study the market factors that influenced the change in demand for wagons of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia". It is proposed to form trends in the market of services for the use of freight cars. The study showed that the structure of demand for JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" wagons is uneven. It directly depends on the types of wagons offered, their condition, the price of use, as well as the type of cargo being transported. Freight wagons for the transportation of bulk cargo (raw materials, grain, oil products, metals and products thereof) are in the greatest demand among customers. The company's largest income from this service is generated by large clients. They mostly order wagons for transporting bulk cargo. Demand for other types of wagons is generated by small companies. However, their share in the income structure is insignificant. Reserves of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" allow to satisfy the increased demand for freight cars. Among the factors that influenced the decrease in demand for the Company's wagons, the following stand out: competitors' provision of newer wagons; untimely change of price offers; untimely repairs of freight cars; bureaucratic obstacles in providing the service; outdated approach to pricing. According to the results of the research, the authors have formed general trends of the market of services for the use of freight cars. Threats negatively affecting the demand structure of this market are outlined. Selected opportunities, the use of which will enable JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" to compete with other owners of freight cars that provide them for use.

The article examines modern approaches to the formation of enterprise development strategies in modern conditions. Given the fact that Ukraine is at war with the Russian Federation, the strategies previously used by motor transport companies cannot be used to their full extent. Therefore, the article proposes the direction of strategic management, which will help preserve the integrity of ATP in modern conditions. The works of foreign and Ukrainian scientists were studied. What gave rise to the determination of the direction of management of the motor vehicle enterprise in modern conditions of war. The authors' works are devoted to marketing strategies for the sustainable development of the state. They are not very relevant when applied in modern conditions of war. Therefore, it became necessary to form a marketing strategy for the development of a motor vehicle enterprise in modern conditions. It was established that any strategy is formed on the basis of the main mission and goal of the enterprise. Since the modern transport industry has changed its main mission and its direction has become to provide the armed forces of Ukraine and the civilian population with everything they need. The article proposes a classifier of the strategic goals of the enterprise depending on its stage of the life cycle. The article proposes a mechanism for the step-by-step formation of a new marketing strategy. The definition of the marketing strategy for the development of the enterprise also depends on the specific situation. Therefore, the article sets out typical actions and stages of their implementation. Two options for the development of motor transport enterprises were studied: the marketing strategy is related to the development of the transportation system; the strategy is aimed at the development of the production and technical base and is related to the provision of services to ensure the operability of cars. It has been proven that currently, in the conditions of martial law, for the further development of the motor transport industry, it is necessary to use a strategy aimed at preserving VTB. A simulation model of the development of VTB motor vehicle enterprise in modern conditions is proposed.

Study of local identity in the works of ukrainian scientists
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Makhsma Stepan
Published: December 2022

The works of Ukrainian scholars who study local political identity are investigated in the present article. Local identity holds a special place in the structure of political identity affecting the political consciousness and behaviour of local territorial communities, the development of political processes and institutions at the local and regional levels. It is local identity that is primary in the hierarchy of territorial political identities (regional or national), develops the skills of political participation, specifies the features of the political culture within the territorial community. The trends in the study of local political identity in the modern Ukrainian political science are considered: - theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of local identities: concepts, characteristics of the main categories of territorial identities, methodology of study (H. Korzhov, H. Nosova and N. Mikhno); - problems of formation of local identities of united territorial communities, as a necessary condition for their effective development: mechanisms, factors and potential, practices (Ya. Kotenko and A. Tkachuk, N. Natalenko, O. Vrublevsky, O. Dancheva, A. Seitosmanov and E. Chubarov); - territorial identities in the context of the formation of subsidiary democracy, democratic political culture (M. Bryl, T. Panchenko, I. Lutsiuk and S. Matvienkiv); - study of features, factors and mechanisms of formation of local identities of Ukrainian cities, their socio-cultural differences and the level of inclusion in the national process (T. Bevz, O. Zorich, M. Karmazina, O. Musiiezdov, N. Rotar and H. Fesenko). Nevertheless, Ukrainian academic community still is not aware about many issues related to the study of local political identities. Therefore, there are still some relevant research areas: the further study of foreign experience in the formation of local identities; the role of local identity in the formation of social capital of the territory, social solidarity and responsibility; study of local political identity as a factor and resource of territorial development, etc.
Theoretical and methodological aspects of the activities of the political parties of the european states at the present stage
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Mytroshchenko Valeriia
Published: December 2022

The article is about the theoretical and methodological aspects of determining the place and role of political parties in the social development of modern European states in a dialectical combination of integration and disintegration processes. It is noted that the political parties of modern European countries are developing in accordance with common laws and system parameters. The specific features of the activities of European parties in the context of the formation of European parliamentarism as a fundamentally new phenomenon in the political life of the integration association are considered. It is determined that political parties in modern political systems of European countries embody in their activities a set of functional aspects, which include systemic, information-communicative, selective, ideological-programmatic, integration, representative. It is shown that the functioning of political parties of EU member states is influenced by the dichotomous influence of both integration and disintegration processes in the region, as exemplified by the withdrawal of the UK from the UK, formally completed in 2020. Political parties of European states in the current conditions of social development are influenced by several major methodological dominants, among which should be noted foreign policy (integration), domestic policy, socio-economic, socio-cultural, information and communication. It is emphasized that public dissatisfaction with the activities of political parties and the party system in general was one of the factors influencing public opinion in the UK during the process of leaving the EU, which characterizes the need to modernize certain aspects of the organization and activities of modern European political parties, especially in terms of achieving a clearer definition of party orientations and views on ways to solve the most pressing problems facing today's individual member states and the EU as a whole.

The issue of language status and development at the state level, in academic and broad socio-political discourse, traditionally occupies an important place among the criteria of national identity. Being the object of special attention of the state as an object of normative management, maintenance and use, it also becomes a means of constructing state identity. Such an identity of citizens is very important for modern Ukraine, its formation is recognized as an urgent, vital need for the country, especially in times of armed conflict. The article reveals the peculiarities of the relationship between language policy and the creation of state identity in Ukraine. An attempt is made to explore the preconditions for the formation of the current state of language policy, in the context of national, the peculiarities of its representation at different levels of social and political discourse. The history of normative consolidation of the status of language in the legislative acts of the country and attempts of various parliamentary parties to stick to this status is traced. The position of parliamentary forces as political authors is compared with the opinion of the society represented by the results of polls.
The Reflection of the Existential Downfall of “The Lost Generation” in the Novel “The Sun Also Rises” by Ernest Hemingway
Authors: Diadechko Alla Mykolaivna ,   Sumy State University
Published: December 2022

The article attempts to investigate the way in which one particular novel, namely “The Sun Also Rises” by E. Hemingway, portrays the life of the “lost generation”. The term labels a group of American expatriate writers who lived and established their literary reputation in Paris in the 1920s. Their lives and works were immensely affected by World War I. E. Hemingway is among the best-known representatives of the “lost generation”. The article focuses on E. Hemingway’s depiction of the life of the young American and British people, who being disillusioned with their society’s values lead a bohemian style of life, drowned in alcohol, endless parties, chats, rage, promiscuity, and trips. The psychological and philosophical discoveries of characters’ distresses are also revealed. Hemingway’s specific objective and honest prose, far from being emotional or sentimental, is also indicated.
Polish Emotion Names which Mean Anxiety and Disquiet
Authors: Askerova Iryna Aliyivna ,   Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the in-depth historical, etymological and semantic-structural characteristics of vocabulary to denote emotional states of anxiety, excitement, disquiet in the Polish language. Semantic, grammatical, linguo-cognitive properties, as well as the origin and formal-derivational and semantic development of the corresponding lexemes are considered. Polish linguists have repeatedly turned their attention to the relevant group of vocabulary, but they have considered, as a rule, only the key noun pol. strach, and many arrays of relevant language units have not yet received scientific coverage. In addition, the historical aspect is still the least studied in the polish linguistics, which reveals the origin of the names of emotions, their formal derivational development, models of initial semantic motivation and patterns of further semantic evolution. Numerous explanatory, phraseological, etymological lexicographical sources of Polish and other Slavic languages, dictionaries of synonyms and cognate words, The National Corpus of Polish, as well as studies in the field of psychology of human emotions and feelings served as a material for the analysis. Both emotion names pol. trwoga and niepokój are characterized in the modern Polish language by a fairly wide combination, on the basis of which the image of anxiety and disquiet in the minds of Polish speakers is reproduced. Thus, this emotion is represented as a substance (either liquid or volatile) that fills the human body; grain (like sow grain or panic); a tormenting enemy force, causing pain, and so on. Questions about the etymology and semantic development of the protoslav. *trьvoga is complex and still not definitively solved in Slavic linguistics. The analysis of numerous etymological lexicographical sources revealed that the most probable semantic transition is “causing painful physical feeling” → “state of fear”. Name of pol. niepokój is formally a prefix formation with the negative prefix nie- and is an antonym to the appellatives: pokój, spokój “peace, tranquillity”. We interpret the semantic motivation of this name as one that is indirectly related to the seme “movement”, as it expresses opposition to the state of rest. Names of anxiety and restlessness which were traced in the field of the semantic and formal evolution for a significant time frame revealed that these names in the Old Polish era did not mean emotional experience, but functioned to denote very specific situations – disputes, conflicts, skirmishes; devastation, disorder, disagreement. During the historical development of the Polish language, the analyzed lexemes acquired a secondary “emotional” meaning, which is main today, namely “state, feeling anxious about what may happen, threatening; fear, horror”, “mental state characterized by strong arousal, tension, difficulty concentrating thoughts and actions; lack of peace, balance; fear”.
Impact of Structural Break Location on Forecasting Accuracy: Traditional Methods Versus Artificial Neural Network
Authors: ASER Daud Ali , FİRUZAN Esin
Published: December 2022

Since forecasting future values is fundamental for researchers, investors, practitioners, etc., obtaining accurate predictions is critical in time series analysis. The accuracy is reliant on good modelling and good-quality data. The latter is affected by unusual observations, changes over time, missing data, and structural breaks among others. Economic crises are the major cause of data instability and therefore, this paper focuses on how structural breaks in conditional heteroscedastic financial and macroeconomic data affect forecasting accuracy on short and long-term horizons. More specifically, we are interested in the impact of the location of the structural break and break size on the predictive performance of two linear (ARIMA and Exponential Smoothing) forecasting models and two nonlinear (ARIMA – ARCH and Artificial Neural Network) models. We conducted Monte Carlo simulations and showed that the forecasting accuracy decreases as the structural break location approaches the end of the sample. In addition, break size and length of the horizon show the same impact on the forecasting accuracy as the forecasting error increases with the increase of break magnitude and length of the horizon. We also showed that ARIMA – ARCH model is the best performing in the absence of a structural break while the artificial neural network model outperforms all the competing models in the presence of structural break, especially in large break sizes and long horizons. Last, we applied the above techniques to forecasting daily close prices of brent oil and Turkish Lira – USD exchange rates out–of–sample, and similar results were found.

O acompanhamento do consumo alimentar e estado nutricional de indivíduos atendidos na atenção primária à saúde de uma determinada localidade permite a avaliação das condições de saúde dessa população fundamentando o planejamento de estratégias para intervenções nutricionais. O objetivo desse estudo foi caracterizar o estado nutricional e consumo alimentar, por meio de marcadores de consumo alimentar do Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (SISVAN), de pacientes acompanhados pela Equipe de Nutrição da Secretaria de Saúde do Município de Ipameri, Goiás no período de abril de 2021. Para diagnóstico do estado nutricional dos grupos avaliados, idosos e adultos, foi utilizado o cálculo do IMC e comparação com pontos de corte sugeridos pelo ministério da saúde. Foram atendidos 60 pacientes, sendo 44 adultos e 6 idosos. Todos idosos avaliados apresentavam sobrepeso; nos adultos, o estado nutricional predominante foi de obesidade em 56,8% dos pacientes atendidos. Também foi possível notar o alto consumo de bebidas adoçadas por parte dos idosos e pressupõe que a quantidade de alimentos ingeridos nas refeições pela maioria dos adultos está bem superior ao gasto energético total requerido. O estudo permitiu um diagnóstico nutricional da população idosa e adulta e pode fundamentar ações imediatas para combater a obesidade e sobrepeso visto que a obesidade é um dos fatores que agravam os sintomas do vírus SARS-CoV-2.

A nefrolitíase possui prevalência mundial situada entre 5% e 15%, além de recorrência em adultos de até 75% em 20 anos entre os pacientes que sofrem recidivas. Já em crianças, a nefrolitíase é relativamente infrequente, com prevalência que varia entre 2 a 2,7%, sendo o tratamento dividido entre medidas farmacológicas e medidas não farmacológicas. O presente estudo de revisão buscou avaliar novas evidências na abordagem terapêutica da nefrolitíase em pacientes pediátricos, documentados por meio de estudos clínicos e randomizados. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa realizada por meio da base de dados PubMed, que levou em consideração os seguintes critérios de inclusão: ensaios clínicos e testes controlados e aleatórios; artigos publicados nos últimos quatro anos; que possuíam texto completo disponível e que abordassem acerca da terapêutica da nefrolitíase na população pediátrica. Ficou constatado que no âmbito do tratamento farmacológico, o lumasiran se mostrou útil na diminuição da taxa de eventos provocados por cálculos em crianças com hiperoxalúria tipo 1. No que se refere à terapêutica não invasiva, estudos apontaram as frequências intermediárias como as melhores a serem utilizadas durante a LECO em crianças, além do aumento da eficácia deste procedimento quando feito após hidronefrose artificial. Quanto à terapêutica invasiva, foi atestado o aumento da eficácia da NLPC quando feito sob a técnica de dilatação de passo único em crianças com nefrolitíase. Ainda sobre a NLPC, foi observado não haver diferença significativa de complicações ou dor pós-operatória da cirurgia em relação à posição da criança.

INTRODUÇÃO: A tuberculose é uma doença infectocontagiosa de importante destaque na saúde pública mundial, é considerada uma doença grave que pode causar a morte, por ser uma doença facilmente transmitida pelo bacilo Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) que afeta os pulmões e também ataca o sistema nervoso central, principalmente em pacientes que tem o sistema imunológico baixo. Por ser uma doença assintomática, a maioria dos pacientes não dão a devida importância na seriedade da doença, é importante salientar o abandono do tratamento, onde muitos que dos pacientes deixam de comparecer à unidade básica de saúde para o acompanhamento médico e laboratorial. OBJETIVO: Analisar os aspectos referentes à eficácia do tratamento da tuberculose, avaliando os pontos que podem estimular a adesão do paciente ao tratamento e as estratégias para adquirir o efeito desejado, podendo assim identificar os fatores envolvidos na adesão e no abandono do tratamento, e por fim verificar os benefícios associados ao acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico do paciente com tuberculose. METODOLOGIA: A pesquisa foi realizada através de buscas nas bases de dados BVS, PUBMED e SciELO. Foram utilizados para a busca os seguintes descritores: tuberculose AND atenção primária e tuberculose AND abandono do tratamento, de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão entres os anos de 2002 e 2021, nos seguintes idiomas: língua portuguesa, espanhola e inglesa. RESULTADOS: Foram obtidos 8.679 artigos, sendo selecionados 10 artigos para análise. Diante dos artigos analisados o índice para o abandono da TB em sua maioria tem 44,3% por motivos de uso álcool e drogas, 20% em relação a reação adversas, pacientes com queixa de desconforto, 19% com baixa classe econômica e financeira, pacientes com baixo custo de vida são os mais expostos a terem a doença, 16,7% é referente a escolaridade, pessoas que tem dificuldade para entender as informações do tratamento. CONCLUSÃO: A tuberculose ainda continua sendo um grande problema de saúde pública, pois as taxas de incidência e mortalidade permanecem altas. Dessa forma, analisou-se que o tratamento da tuberculose permanece um desafio, principalmente em relação às questões sociais e econômicas. Para assegurar a cura, é necessário que, além de uma associação medicamentosa adequada em doses corretas, o uso por tempo suficiente e com supervisão da administração dos medicamentos.

Introdução. A Doença de Parkinson (DP) é uma patologia neurodegenerativa que afeta predominantemente o sistema nervoso central, de caráter crônico e progressivo, o diagnóstico da DP é essencialmente clínico, tendo como principal característica as repercussões motoras que incluem sinais e sintomas como bradicinesia, rigidez, tremor e instabilidade postural. O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar as evidências científicas acerca das abordagens fisioterapêuticas na melhora da capacidade funcional de idosos com diagnóstico de Doença de Parkinson – CID:G20. Métodos – Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura realizada nas bases de dados eletrônicas da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), nas bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e na Literatura Internacional em Ciências da Saúde (Medline); Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), no portal Periódico Capes, e no site do National Center for Biotecnology Information na base de dados Pubmed. Resultados- Foi identificado 112 artigos nas bases de dados selecionadas. Após a leitura do título, observação dos resumos e exclusão de artigos repetidos selecionando 31 artigos que atenderam ao processo de inclusão. Após a leitura na íntegra, 22 foram excluídos por não se adequarem ao tema proposto, perdurando 9 artigos na seleção final. Conclusão- Os métodos e intervenções fisioterapêuticas podem trazer benefícios no tratamento da doença de Parkinson visto que tem demonstrado resultados significativos para a melhora do treino de marcha, equilíbrio, coordenação motora e na diminuição do risco de quedas.
Generalized Pose Decoupled Network for Unsupervised 3D Skeleton Sequence-Based Action Representation Learning

Human action representation is derived from the description of human shape and motion. The traditional unsupervised 3-dimensional (3D) human action representation learning method uses a recurrent neural network (RNN)-based autoencoder to reconstruct the input pose sequence and then takes the midlevel feature of the autoencoder as representation. Although RNN can implicitly learn a certain amount of motion information, the extracted representation mainly describes the human shape and is insufficient to describe motion information. Therefore, we first present a handcrafted motion feature called pose flow to guide the reconstruction of the autoencoder, whose midlevel feature is expected to describe motion information. The performance is limited as we observe that actions can be distinctive in either motion direction or motion norm. For example, we can distinguish “sitting down” and “standing up” from motion direction yet distinguish “running” and “jogging” from motion norm. In these cases, it is difficult to learn distinctive features from pose flow where direction and norm are mixed. To this end, we present an explicit pose decoupled flow network (PDF-E) to learn from direction and norm in a multi-task learning framework, where 1 encoder is used to generate representation and 2 decoders are used to generating direction and norm, respectively. Further, we use reconstructing the input pose sequence as an additional constraint and present a generalized PDF network (PDF-G) to learn both motion and shape information, which achieves state-of-the-art performances on large-scale and challenging 3D action recognition datasets including the NTU RGB+D 60 dataset and NTU RGB+D 120 dataset.
