В данном практико-ориентированном обзоре представлены рекомендации по рациональному применению вилдаглиптина – типичного представителя сахароснижающих средств из группы ингибиторов дипептидилпептидазы 4-го типа – при лечении сахарного диабета в амбулаторных условиях. В качестве оснований для рекомендаций использованы данные клинической фармакологии, а также результаты клинического изучения эффективности и безопасности вилдаглиптина и его фармакологической группы в целом. Представлены параметры фармакодинамики и фармакокинетики, требующие учета при рациональном клиническом применении препарата. Рассмотрены основные вопросы оценки и коррекции профиля безопасности, включая гипогликемию, влияние на массу тела, сердечно-сосудистую систему. Отражены основания для индивидуального дифференцированного применения вилдаглиптина, включая учет нарушения функции почек и печени. Обсуждено место вилдаглиптина в современной иерархии антигипергликемических средств. Сделан акцент на клинической обоснованности раннего назначения комбинированной терапии метформином и вилдаглиптином. В настоящее время в условиях системы здравоохранения Беларуси вилдаглиптин является наиболее доступным препаратом среди новых сахароснижающих средств, что должно способствовать его скорейшему внедрению в широкую клиническую практику в составе двух- и трехкомпонентной фармакотерапии.

This practice-oriented review provides recommendations for the rational use of vildagliptin, a typical representative of glucose-lowering drugs from the group of dipeptidyl peptidase type 4 inhibitors, in the treatment of diabetes mellitus in an outpatient setting. Clinical pharmacology data, as well as the results of clinical studies of the effectiveness and safety of vildagliptin and its pharmacological group as a whole, were used as the basis for the recommendations. The parameters of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics that require consideration in the rational clinical use of the drug are presented. The main issues of assessing and adjusting the safety profile are described, including hypoglycemia, effects on body weight, and the cardiovascular system. The reasons for the individual differentiated use of vildagliptin are reflected, including taking into account renal and liver dysfunction. The place of vildagliptin in the modern hierarchy of antihyperglycemic agents is discussed. Emphasis is placed on the clinical validity of early prescription of combination therapy with metformin and vildagliptin. Currently, in the Belarusian healthcare system, vildagliptin is the most accessible drug among new hypoglycemic agents, which should facilitate its rapid introduction into widespread clinical practice as part of two- and three-component pharmacotherapy.
A New Drag for the Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis
Authors: Санникова Н.Н. , Артишевский С.Н. , Сушинский В.Э.
Published: June 2024

Аллергический ринит – самое распространенное аллергическое заболевание. Тесалин – новый препарат растительного происхождения, предназначенный для лечения аллергического ринита. Для изучения механизмов действия препарата Тесалин проведены исследования, которые позволяют предположить, что основой его фармакологической активности является ингибирование синтеза лейкотриенов, гистамина и интерлейкинов. Клинические исследования показали эффективность и безопасность препарата Тесалин как у взрослых пациентов, так и у детей. Для сравнения эффективности широко используемых антигистаминных препаратов и препарата Тесалин проведены рандомизированные исследования. Тесалин, в отличие от традиционно используемых антигистаминных препаратов, значительно уменьшает назальную обструкцию, ингибируя синтез лейкотриенов, и не оказывает седативного и снотворного эффекта. При тяжелых формах аллергического ринита может приниматься в комбинации с другими препаратами: антигистаминными, топическими глюкокортикостероидами. Механизм действия Тесалина отличается от механизма действия антилейкотриеновых препаратов, возможно, в будущем он будет применяться для лечения бронхиальной астмы, хронических риносинуситов и полипов носа. Исследования показали профилактическое действие Тесалина и возможность его использования не только для купирования симптомов, но и для их предупреждения.

Allergic rhinitis is the most common allergic disease. Tesalin is a new herbal drug intended for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. To study the mechanisms of action of the drug Tesalin, studies have been conducted that suggest that the basis of its pharmacological activity is the inhibition of the synthesis of leukotrienes, histamine and interleukins. Clinical studies have shown the effectiveness and safety of Tesalin in both adult patients and children. Randomized studies were conducted to compare the effectiveness of commonly used antihistamines and the drug Tesalin. Tesalin, unlike traditionally used antihistamines, significantly reduces nasal obstruction by inhibiting the synthesis of leukotrienes, and does not have a sedative and hypnotic effect. In severe forms of allergic rhinitis, it can be taken in combination with other drugs: antihistamines, topical glucocorticoids. The mechanism of action of Tesalin differs from the mechanism of action of antileukotriene drugs; perhaps in the future it will be used to treat bronchial asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps. The study showed the preventive effect of Tesalin and the possibility of its use not only to relieve symptoms, but also to prevent them.
Risks of Multipath Signal Propagation From GPS Satellites in Mountainous Areas During the Use of UAV as Supplementary Device for HEMS or SAR
Authors: Gecejová Natália , Češkovič Marek
Published: June 2024

It cannot be disputed that using unmanned aerial vehicles as a supplementary search and rescue component is still increasingly being discussed. Several approaches to solving the problem can be stated - buying specially designed unmanned aerial vehicles for HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service)/SAR (Search and Rescue) or modifying conventional UAVs to supplementary devices for HEMS or SAR. Regardless of which alternative the end-user prefers, the navigation method and determining the current position in space stays unchanged - primarily, the navigation signals from GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) satellites are used. However, this method can be loaded by the error caused by environmental conditions in which the rescue UAV moves, such as mountains, valleys, specific flora, trees, and much more. All of that causes attenuation, loss or multipath propagation of the signal. In the case of the remote-controlled flight of the UAV (by a pilot-operator or operator itself from the ground station) and when the rule of direct visibility (Visual Line of Sight - VLOS) is used for an unmanned aerial vehicle, this may not be a considerable problem. However, during an automated or fully autonomous flight and the flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle beyond direct visibility (Beyond Visual Line of Sight - BVLOS), knowledge about the exact position of the UAV in space is crucial. The presented article is dedicated to verify the claim about the significance of the problem of multipath signal propagation from the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite in a selected mountain area, The Little Cold Valley in High Tatras, Slovak Republic.

Forecasting the geomagnetic storms, solar radiation storms, radio blackouts, X-ray flux, and others is difficult due to the high variability of the space weather conditions and sun activity. It can change every hour and the exact space weather conditions and the impact on aviation for the future are hard to predict. This article shows some predictions and historical data regarding space weather activity, where the stated values were collected from the NOAA page. The article states the daily maximums or the maximums of predicted phenomena activity. Because of the complexity and the facts mentioned above, the historical data and predictions show the summary and most important phenomena of the day.

The article consists of 3 main chapters:
1. Space Weather
2. Space Weather Impact on Technological Vulnerability
3. Space Weather Condition Overview in Data.

The last chapter in this article is a conclusion that consists of and mentions some information about the used alternative methods when a GPS lapse occurs. Even though there are some alternate systems, but still using satellite-based navigation and communication aids is still the first option, and space weather events highly affect the systems and are a big hazard for aviation.

Authors: Dilzhan Balnur
Published: June 2024

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies into education has a profound impact on the practice of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI as an AI conversational tool, is capable of revolutionizing the teaching of EFL through personalized and interactive learning. The study examined how teachers use ChatGPT in their EFL classrooms in Kazakhstan. The results of semi-structured interviews with 11 EFL teachers reveal a combination of a wide range of reactions, ranging from enthusiasm to caution. Teachers recognize ChatGPT for its rapid generation of lesson ideas, reduced workload and increased student engagement. The chatbot is also appreciated for its role in developing students' writing and vocabulary skills through immediate feedback and personalized practice. Along with these advantages, several challenges have been identified. Major challenges include the risk of reliance on technology, academic dishonesty, the importance of precise prompt formulation, and the limited capabilities for multimedia functions, including audio and visual materials. The findings underline the necessity for extensive training to leverage ChatGPT’s potential and ensure its successful use. The need for structured guidance and support was highlighted by EFL teachers to effectively integrate this technology into educational settings. The incorporation of ChatGPT into EFL teaching presents notable benefits but requires careful consideration. Effective training programs and strong policy support are crucial to overcome challenges and optimize the use of ChatGPT in EFL teaching. This research contributes essential information for teachers, policymakers, and curriculum developers who aim to utilize AI tools to advance language learning.

Authors: Mohammed H. Hamad  , Waleed Kh. A. Al – Hayani  , Firas M.Hussein
Published: June 2024

This Study was conducted out at the Ministry of Agriculture's Poultry Research Station/Animal Resources Department/Agricultural Research Center. To see how body weight (BW) and leptin hormone (LEP) levels in breeder blood affect fertility and hatchability. 140 Iraqi local laying chickens (120 females + 20 males) aged 28 weeks were used in the study. Following the numbering of females, the birds were grown in individual cages and dispersed sequentially on cages. The experiment was divided into three periods, each lasting 28 days, during which the breeder's live body weight was recorded and divided into two categories (greater than 1.5 kg and less than 1.5 kg), and blood samples were collected at the end of each period to determine the concentration of leptin hormone in the breeders' blood. For comparison between mothers' performance, hormone concentration is separated into three groups: high, medium, and low. The percentage of fertile eggs (FE), the percentage of hatched chicks from total eggs (HAT), the percentage of hatched chicks from fertile eggs (HAF), and the percentage of mortality (MO) all showed a significant increase (p<0.05), and a linear relationship was discovered between the studied traits and hormone concentration levels. Leptin arrived at the best predictive values that reflect reality by computing regression and correlation coefficients and using a hypothetical technique in estimating prediction results. This study concludes that body weight and leptin levels have unknown impacts on hatching fertility rates.

Study  was carried out during two successive summer seasons of 2021 and 2022 at private  filed  in El-Salhyia El-Gadida District, Sharkia Governorate, to study response of some potato cultivars to potassium sources as foliar application  under sandy soil conditions using pivot  irrigation system. This experiment included 25 treatments, which were the combinations between five potato cultivars (Spunta , Santana , Cara , Lady  Rosetta  and Hermes) and  four  potassium  sources treatments , i.e. spraying with potassium silicate (KSil , (potassium citrate (KCit), potassium folvate (KF) and potassium thiosulpahte (KTS) as well as control (without spraying). These treatments were arranged in a split plot design with three replicates. Potato cultivars were randomly arranged in the main plots and  potassium sources  were randomly distributed in the sub plots. Spraying Cara cultivar with KCit increased number of tubers/ plant and total  yield /hectare, whereas  spraying  Spunta  cultivar with KCit increased average tuber weight in both seasons. While, spraying Hermes cultivar with   KSil as foliar spray increased DM, starch and total carbohydrates in tubers. Spunta cultivar with water only increased total sugars in tubers.  In addition, the fertilization of Cara cultivar   with  KCit as a foliar application recorded a relative increase in the total yield of tubers amounting to about 72.50% as an average of the two seasons compared to the same cultivar  without.

This study was performed for production, purification, characterization and evaluation the antibacterial activity of biosurfactant BS which were produced from local isolate Lactobacillus plantarum Z9 with bacteriocin and studying the synergistic effect .A total 100 different samples 85(%) isolates of Lactobacillus sp. were isolated from different sources and identified by biochemical tests then subjected to the primary and secondary screening processes to select the active isolate for bacteriocin and biosurfactant production. Among the vagina isolates screened, the results found that Lactobacillus sp. Z9 isolated from the clinical samples of Iraqi healthy women had the highest productivity of the bacteriocin and biosurfactant. Partial purification of biosurfactant that produced from L. plantarum Z9 was conducted using solvent system (chloroform: methanol, 2:1). A 1:1 ratio of n-butanol was used to extract of partially purified bacteriocin, where the bacteriocin activity up to 320 AU/ml against both Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively compared to 20 AU/ml before purification.. Antibacterial activity of Bacteriocin displayed a significant activity with inhibition zones diameter ranged from (11 to 26 mm) and (10 to 25  mm) against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus at concentration ranged from 50 to 200 mg/ml. Maximum antibacterial activity of bacteriocin against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus showed at concentration 200 mg/ml of bacteriocin. Partial purified lipopeptide of L. plantarum Z9 was examined against pathogenic bacteria using well diffusion method. The lipopeptide had inhibition zones diameter ranged from (14 to 28 mm) and (13 to 29 mm) against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus respectively at concentration ranged from 25 to 200 mg/ml. The combination of lipopeptide with bacteriocin increased the range of inhibition zones and made the pathogens sensitive.

Este trabajo compara el desempeño de la memoria de corto y largo plazo (LSTM, por sus siglas en inglés) univariada y multivariada en la predicción de los precios de cierre del día siguiente de cuatro acciones del sector de consumo minorista en la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores. El error absoluto medio (MAE, por sus siglas en inglés), el error porcentual absoluto medio (MAPE, por sus siglas en inglés), la mediana del error porcentual absoluto (MdAPE, por sus siglas en inglés) y la raíz del error cuadrático medio (RMSE, por sus siglas en inglés) se utilizan para probar el desempeño de las redes. Por un lado, los resultados muestran un mejor desempeño en el pronóstico multivariado de precios cuando se utilizan secuencias de 20 y 15 días de duración, generando resultados coherentes para la muestra, incluidas las acciones líquidas e ilíquidas. Por otro lado, la LSTM univariada revela un desempeño de pronóstico menor para la predicción del precio de acciones ilíquidas.

Published: June 2024

Building Information Modeling (BIM) é uma metodologia inovadora que abrange o planejamento, projeto e gestão de construções, utilizando modelos digitais tridimensionais que incorporam informações detalhadas sobre todos os aspectos físicos e funcionais de uma obra. E proporciona uma vantagem significativa na compatibilização de projetos, apresentando, porém, diversos desafios. Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar os desafios na compatibilização de projetos utilizando BIM em empresas da construção civil e de arquitetura. A metodologia adotada foi a revisão exploratória da literatura, abrangendo livros, artigos e materiais documentais primários. Os principais resultados indicaram que as dificuldades na compatibilização de projetos com BIM incluem vários aspectos críticos. Primeiramente, o treinamento e capacitação de pessoal qualificado para operar a metodologia é uma barreira significativa, já que a complexidade do BIM exige conhecimento técnico especializado. A criação e validação do volume de informações disponíveis são desafios constantes, dado que a precisão e a atualização dos dados são cruciais para o sucesso do BIM. Outro desafio importante é o estabelecimento de padrões para as empresas a falta de normativas claras e unificadas pode resultar em inconsistências e dificuldades na integração dos modelos BIM entre diferentes partes interessadas. Além disso, o alto custo de implementação do BIM é uma barreira considerável, especialmente para empresas de pequeno e médio porte que podem não dispor dos recursos financeiros necessários para investir em tecnologia avançada e treinamento. Conclui-se que, embora o BIM esteja em expansão e ofereça múltiplos benefícios, ainda existem várias barreiras para sua implementação plena por empresas de engenharia civil e arquitetura. Contudo, é cada vez mais necessário analisar a funcionalidade dessa metodologia para a compatibilização de projetos, a fim de evitar retrabalhos e aumentar a eficiência dos processos construtivos. A adoção ampla do BIM pode transformar significativamente o setor, mas exige esforços coordenados para superar os desafios identificados.
