According to the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI) that started 2012, the Europe 2020 Flagship Initiative "Innovation Union" specifies European Innovation Partnerships (EIP) as a new tool for speeding up innovation through linking existing policies and instruments. Based on the report “Innovation, Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability in Latvia” prepared by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2019, it analyses innovations in agriculture in order to promote further development of the sector. The agricultural sector has progressed more slowly than the economic sector and slightly more needs to be invested in order to ensure a well-functioning innovation system and a policy environment that would increase agricultural productivity and improve sustainability. The aim of paper is to reveal what prerequisites are necessary to promote the development of innovation projects in agricultural sector. The research based on analysis of documents exploring the views of European Innovation Partnership project managers on how the innovation process in European Innovation Partnership projects has taken place and what are the main preconditions for promoting the development of innovation projects, as well as observation and semi-structured interview, in turn, exploring, which can contribute to the development of innovation projects. As a result of the research, 8 preconditions for the promoting development of innovation projects in agriculture were identified. The results of the research can have a significant impact on the development of innovation, identifying weaknesses, problems that need more attention and take specific activities to improve the current situation.
Legitimidad transicional:
Authors: GARCÍA VALVERDE FACUNDO
Published: September 2021

La legitimidad es un criterio normativo de evaluación de las decisiones políticas que vincula un determinado procedimiento de justificación pública a un valor sustantivo, ya sea la justicia de sus resultados o el respeto expresado hacia los participantes. El objetivo de este artículo es doble. En primer lugar, muestra que las teorías de legitimidad democrática no han prestado suficiente atención al fenómeno de la persistencia de creencias dependientes de la desigualdad y a las justificaciones dominantes. En segundo lugar, construye una teoría de la legitimidad transicional que ni caiga en un realismo condescendiente ni en un utopismo inconducente.
Do que falam os enunciados universais?
Authors: SCHULTZ SÉRGIO RICARDO
Published: September 2021

Chateaubriand, tanto nos dois volumes de Logical Forms quanto em artigos posteriores, defende que enunciados universais sejam entendidos como predicações. Partindo disto, podemos nos perguntar o que estes enunciados predicam e, também, acerca do que eles predicam. É esta segunda questão que abordamos aqui, desenvolvendo certos aspectos da resposta de Chateaubriand segundo a qual enunciados universais falam acerca de propriedades. Para tanto, em uma primeira seção, esclarecemos em que sentido falamos de sujeito e predicado e colocamos a pergunta por aquilo do qual falam enunciados universais. Em uma segunda seção, argumentamos que, mesmo admitindo que alguns deles pressuponham a existência de objetos, estes não podem ser entendidos como sendo o sujeito de tais enunciados. Nossa conclusão é que enunciados universais falam acerca de propriedades.

A rutura do tendão de Aquiles é uma lesão frequente, mais comum no homem jovem, não sendo invulgar a sua ocorrência em atletas. Embora seja uma lesão altamente incapacitante, é tardiamente diagnosticada/negligenciada em cerca de 25% dos casos, conduzindo a defeitos tendinosos extensos e a degenerescência intersticial, situação associada a opções de tratamento limitadas e prognóstico reservado. Apresentamos um caso clínico de rutura crónica, submetida a reconstrução com recurso a aloenxerto osteotendinoso calcaneoaquiliano, efetuando uma análise comparativa com os resultados reportados na literatura. É nosso objetivo chamar a atenção para esta técnica enquanto opção valiosa nas situações de defeitos significativos, como os secundários a ruturas crónicas ou desbridamentos extensos em contexto de tendinopatia grave.

Notes on the Modal Predicator naada in Sakha (from a Taimyr Dolgan Perspective)
Authors: Siegl Florian
Published: September 2021

This paper addresses the syntax, semantics, and history of the modal deontic predictors naada and tustaax in Sakha and contrasts their use with Sakha's closest linguistic relative Taimyr Dolgan. In this respect, this study is a continuation of Siegl (2019), which, in passing, already reported similarities and dissimilarities in these two closely related Turkic languages of Northern and Northeastern Siberia. A contrastive analysis based on recent translations of the Gospel of Luke (which for the time being is the only longer text available in both languages) confirms that the genealogical proximity of Sakha and Taimyr Dolgan is not reflected in the use of naada and tustaax. The study concludes with a superficial look at the fate of Russian nado in Kolyma and Tundra Yukaghir. Even though the lexeme is obviously of Russian origin, Kolyma Yukaghir but especially Tundra Yukaghir data shows several similarities with Sakha naada, which are absent from Russian and therefore imply Sakha influence.
The Reconstruction of the Proto-Semitic Genitive Ending and a Suggestion on its Origin
Authors: Suchard Benjamin
Published: September 2021

The Proto-Semitic genitive ending on triptotic nouns is commonly reconstructed as *-im (unbound state)/*-i (bound state). In Akkadian, however, this case ending is long -ī- before pronominal suffixes. Since the length of this vowel is unexplained, I argue that it is original and that the Akkadian bound state ending -i should also be reconstructed as long *-ī, explaining its retention in word-final position. This form seems more original than Proto-West-Semitic *-i. Hence, the Proto-Semitic bound state genitive ending should also be reconstructed as *-ī. Through internal reconstruction supported by the parallel of kinship terms like *ʔab-um ‘father’, I arrive at a pre-Proto-Semitic reconstruction of the genitive ending as *-ī-m (unbound), *-ī (bound). This paper then explores a hypothetical scenario where the genitive ending *-ī is derived from the adjectivizing ‘nisbe’ suffix through reanalysis of adjectival constructions like *bayt-u śarr-ī ‘the/a royal house’ as construct chains with meanings like ‘the/a king’s house’; with the addition of mimation and the resultant vowel shortening, this yielded the Proto-Semitic construction with a genitive, *bayt-u śarr-im. The genitive case failed to develop with diptotic nouns because they did not take mimation and in the dual and plural because the nisbe adjective was derived from the uninflected (singular) noun stem; hence, these categories all retain the more original contrast between the nominative and and an undifferentiated oblique case.

On the basis of theory of stationary thermal explosion of A.D. Frank-Kamenetsky, depending on the temperature of the critical size of the ammonium nitrate embankment, the calculations were performed, which show that it can be stored in the large volumes at the temperatures up to 30 °C. On the contrary, at the temperatures above 100 °C (for example, at 200 °C), the decomposition of nitrate occurs with acceleration and can lead to an explosion. Based on the studies performed, it is shown that the changes and additions to the fire safety requirements for ammonium nitrate storage in the buildings and structures should be determined by the requirements for fire resistance of buildings (at least II degree of fire resistance), for the purity of the product and its packaging, for the exclusion of contacts with organic substances and materials, storage conditions. Additional fire safety requirements were developed for inclusion in the normative document regarding ammonium nitrate storage. Ammonium nitrate is allowed to be stored in one-story warehouse buildings of at least II degree of fire resistance, structural fire hazard class C0. The floor area within the fire compartment should not exceed 10 500 m2. Between the fire-fighting walls of the 1st type, it is allowed to store no more than 25 000 tons of nitrite in bulk or in the special bags, as well as in the soft specialized containers for bulk products in accordance with GOST 2—2013.The conditions for placing ammonium nitrate in the stacks should be accepted in accordance with the requirements of SP 92.13330.2012. Temperature in the storage room of ammonium nitrate should not exceed 30 °C with a relative humidity of not more than 60 %. Warehouses for storing ammonium nitrate should be equipped with general exchange supply and exhaust and (or) emergency ventilation, in order to exclude the formation of a fire and explosion hazardous environment in the room during the decomposition of ammonium nitrate. Warehouses for storing ammonium nitrate in an amount of not more than 5 thousand tons may be separated from other premises, including from the warehouses for fertilizers and pesticides, by solid (without openings) type 2 fire walls.

A large number of the scientific publications is devoted to the development and improvement of occupational safety and health management systems, which analyze various factors that can affect their efficiency. At the same time, the review of domestic and foreign statistics of injury rate shows that when introducing the golden principles of the concept of Vision Zero, many companies and organizations faced the problem of stabilizing injury rates indicators, especially incidents or injuries with serious consequences. Modern concept of the occupational safety and health management at the workplace, in a production unit or organization is presented, which involves constant monitoring of the situation for identifying the ways and developing measures to improve it. It provides for the use of a set of leading indicators which are a form of active monitoring and are used as input data required to achieve the set goals in the field of safety. Based on the conducted analysis, the algorithm for the formation and adjustment of the Balanced Scorecard is proposed, the purpose of which is to transform the organization strategy in the field of occupational safety into the specific goals of each subdivision. The developed system of indicators is an efficient mechanism for assessing the degree of efficiency of preventive actions for occupational health and safety management system, and, also, provides an opportunity for the feedback to increase the efficiency of these actions, which is required for the processes of continuous improvement.

The results are presented concerning the experimental studies of the behavior of fire-retardant seals produced by the Ogneza group of companies under thermal exposure up to 1000 °C, obtained by the method of synchronous thermal analysis (thermogravimetry together with the differential scanning calorimetry). Incombustible properties of the M-СORE (NG) seal were confirmed, which showed a decrease in the mass of the material when heated to 1000 °C by 11%, which is due to the mineral composition of the sample (a silica-based material). High thermal stability was shown by the fire-fighting seal M-CORE, the decrease in the mass of the sample of which, after reaching a temperature of 555 °C, stops at 37 %, which indicates the formation of an ash residue. Thermal sealing tape LTU, as a result of the temperature heating starting from a mark of 192 °C, uniformly was losing mass up to a total value of 82 %. The experiment established the sealant swelling. According to the experimental data obtained, the samples M-CORE (NG) confirmed the fire-retardant properties declared by the manufacturer. For the selection of heat-resistant materials that can withstand significant temperature loads during the operation of units and mechanisms, for electrical and thermal insulation, for fire protection of air ducts, equipment, structures, the advantages, and reliability of these seals are obvious. The results of the study (the temperature of the beginning of an intensive decrease in mass, the temperature of the onset of thermal effects accompanying a decrease in mass, the behavior of materials under thermal exposure) can be considered when designing heat and electrical insulation, fire protection of production processes, as well as when determining the level of fire risk of the production facilities.

The problem of ensuring occupational safety during emergency rescue operations in the event of a collapse of buildings and structures is considered. Based on the statistics of accidents in the recent years provided by the National Center for Crisis Management of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, the relevance of this topic is determined. For reducing the likelihood of injuries and fatality, it is important to clearly plan, distribute and secure technical means and people at the work sites in the time-limited conditions. To solve this problem, it is proposed to apply the improved methodology for determining the forces and means required for debris handling and rescuing victims in the event of a collapse of buildings and structures. The methodology allows calculating the number of mechanized groups, links of manual disassembly and emergency rescue tools required for carrying out work on debris handling and rescuing victims under the specified meteorological conditions using the input parameters. The output parameters of the calculation according to this methodology are the number of heavy equipment and rescuers with the indication of the amount of work performed in accordance with the level of professional skills. A software implementation of this methodology is proposed, developed for quick determination of the required forces and means for debris handling, which can also be used for preliminary planning of emergency rescue operations and filling in the sections of the use of forces and means in the technical and information-reference documentation of the objects. Application of the recommended developments in practice will allow to reduce the risk of injury and fatality during emergency response associated with the collapse of buildings.

The formed rock dumps of sections, mines and washing plants are composed of carbonaceous rocks and are capable of spontaneous combustion when the required amount of air is supplied. The conducted studies evaluated the efficiency of detecting a center of spontaneous combustion at the rock dumps of sections by measuring the temperature of rocks in the wells with a depth of 2.5 m, drilled at the distance of 20 m from each other, according to the current normative documents. For the landfill, a dump site with a long-existing center of spontaneous combustion was selected. The experiment showed the impossibility of drilling wells on the slopes of the dumps, as well as the need for casing the wells with pipes along the entire length. The temperature of rocks in the wells at a depth of 2.5 m varied from 69 to 773 °C. It was found that in the heated zone there are sharp temperature drops in the rocks, which cannot be detected with an interval between the measurement points equal to 20 m. With such a distance between the control wells, the places with a diameter of 1–10 m may remain undetected at the initial stage of spontaneous combustion. Measurements showed that in all the wells the rock temperature increases with depth. At the same time, the recommended well depth of 2.5 m does not allow determining the size of the heated zone deep into the rock dump. The upper layer of rocks above the center of spontaneous combustion exceeds the ambient temperature, so remote temperature measuring devices can be used to detect endogenous fires in the rock dumps. The use of thermal imagers installed on the unmanned aerial vehicles will significantly reduce the cost of detecting spontaneous combustion centers on the rock dumps and increase the efficiency of detecting fire centers not only on the dump sites, but on the slopes of the dump side and in other hard-to-reach places. Moreover, with a decrease in the atmospheric air temperature, the efficiency of remote thermal photography does not decrease. To clarify the parameters of the center of endogenous fires, it is advisable to use the temperature measurement of rocks with a contact thermometer at a depth of 0.5 m.

The possibility of developing a methodology for conducting tests to assess flame retardness of packages for storing hazardous substances, materials, or products, as well as the use of the efficient integrated means of modifying wood for their manufacture is considered. The analysis of the basic principles of the methodology of testing the building structures and products of the current standards showed the fundamental possibility of assessing the level of protection of explosive substances, materials or products contained in the package from the effects of fire hazards in the time from the beginning of tests under standard temperature conditions to the occurrence of the standardized limit states. To carry out studies on the assessment of flame retardness of the wooden packages, the means were selected that ensure not only their fire protection, but also weather resistance and moisture resistance, as well as strength. Comparative experimental studies of flame retardness allowed to assess behavior of the wooden packages during complex processing, and to show the advantages of their use to ensure integrity, thermal insulation capacity and the possibility of long-term storage while maintaining the main operational properties. As a result, the principal possibility of using standard equipment and measuring instruments in accordance with GOST 30247.0—94 was established, the main criteria for the assessment of flame retardness were developed, the efficiency of fire protection, as well as the strength characteristics of a complex tool for its possible use in the manufacture of structural elements and wood products, were studied.

The effect of acids on polyamide ropes was studied. The goal is to improve the safety of users performing the work at heights and using polyamide ropes or ropes with a low stretch core in their activities. Series of the experiments and calculations were carried out to determine the destruction of polyamide ropes subjected to chemical exposure considering the process development over time. Oxalic, formic, hydrofluoric, and citric acids are involved in the tests. They are more often found in everyday life as part of the detergents, so there is a high probability that the listed acids will get on the ropes. The time of their exposure to a section of the test sample with a length of 15 cm was 10 minutes in a room at the room temperature. After the contact with acid, the samples were kept for 85 and 208 days (stages 1 and 2, respectively). Then they were subjected to testing for static strength on a test bench for personal protective equipment. For the experiments, five rope samples were taken for each type of acid. During the process, presence of the defects was monitored. By visual inspection, it is difficult or almost impossible to detect the effects of acid exposure. When testing for flexibility, in all cases the test pieces of ropes differed from the reference piece. They have uncharacteristic rigidity and hardening of the rope body in the acid contact zone. The obtained data on breaking loads are averaged and presented in the form of the tables. The dependence of the residual strength on the type of acids was calculated considering the time factor.

This work aimed to prepare and evaluate the topical liposomal hydrogel to treat antibiotic-resistant propionic bacterium acne. Nadifloxacin-loaded liposomes were prepared by thin-film hydration technique. Nadifloxacin, soya lecithin, cholesterol were dissolved in a mixture of chloroform and taken in different levels, and liposomes were prepared. The prepared liposomes were evaluated for in-vitro drug release. Formulation F2 was the highest percentage entrapment of 71±1.50% and released 58.12±1.2% of the drug in 6hrs. Minocycline hydrochloride-based hydrogel was prepared using the methylcellulose gelling agent, and the drug concentration was kept constant at 0.25%. The concentration of propylene glycol and methylparaben was kept constant at 15% and 0.3%. The hydrogel formulation was evaluated for various physicochemical parameters like percentage drug content, spreadability, and drug release. Formulation H9 was the highest drug content, 98.23 ± 0.031%, and the drug released 90.96±2.6% of the drug in 6hr. Out of these formulations, F2 from liposomes and H9 from hydrogel formula was selected to prepare the final liposomal hydrogel formulation. Developed liposomal hydrogel(F2H9) were evaluated like size, drug content and drug entrapment spreadability, homogeneity, washability, pH, etc. In-vitro drug release from liposomal hydrogel in Nadifloxacin release 54.86±3.1% and Minocycline hydrochloride 91.24±1.82% in 6hr. Developed liposomal hydrogel formulation can better treat acne due to high drug retention and permeation in skin layers.

The Showgirls from Eltham, the Windmill Theatre and the V2 Rocket: One family’s experience as a window on aspects of interwar cultural life
Authors: Cocker Alan
Published: September 2021

The journey of the Cooper family from small town New Zealand in the early 1920s to Sydney, and then to London, where they arrived in May 1935, provides a frame to look at aspects of social change in the interwar period. Their story, which sees the two daughters of the family appearing in the risqué nude revues at London's Windmill Theatre in the early years of the Second World War, could be viewed as exotic and atypical but does provide a vehicle to look at aspects of cultural change and media influence during a time when “modern women understood self-display to be part of the quest for mobility, self-determination, and sexual identity"1

Mā te rongo ka mohio: Māori Pā Wars and Kaupapa Māori Methodology at the Interface of Video Games
Authors: Mancini Huni
Published: September 2021

This essay reviews Māori Pā Wars (2017), a te reo Māori mobile game developed for mobile devices by independent Māori-led video game company Metia Interactive. Through consideration of the historical struggle for cultural and te reo Māori revitalisation, this essay discusses the use of kaupapa Māori methodology to activate mātauranga Māori through gameplay. Situated within a wider global shift towards ‘indie’ game development and more pertinently ‘Indigenous game development,’ Māori Pā Wars is one of the first games to bring kaupapa Māori methodology to the interface of video game technology. Through analysis of game development methodology, mechanics, game design and the ubiquitous mobile medium, this essay outlines the ways Māori Pā Wars challenges a ‘literature of dominance.’ It concludes that the game borrows from remix and convergence cultures inherent to indie game development, thereby reflecting the way Māori technologies, social and political systems continue to adapt to a changing technological landscape.
Worshipping Beauty in the South Seas
Authors: Campbell Laura
Published: September 2021

This article analyses the wave of avant garde art movements that arrived on our shores in the late nineteenth century and its impact on applied art and the general lifestyles of artists and patrons in New Zealand. With particular reference to Kennett Watkins’ speech given at a meeting of the New Zealand Art Students’ Association’ in 1883, this account looks at the display of Māori objects in both public settings and in the privacy of the artist’s studio. It also acknowledges the role of illustrated magazines in promoting the public profile of professional artists working in Auckland at the turn of the twentieth century. Many patrons in the elite social circles of Auckland admired artists such as Charles F. Goldie for being arbiters of taste and hisbeautifully decorated studio both linked him to the ways European academic artists presented themselves, while using local artifacts to connect his practice to New Zealand. The dispersal of illustrated art magazines in New Zealand became a marketing tool for artists to promote their art practice but, most of all, elevate their status as members of the social elite in urban centres.

A lo largo de estos años la investigación científica ha estudiado la aparición de síntomas típicos del Trastorno de Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad en niños con epilepsia y su nivel de prevalencia. Los métodos tradiciones de intervención en los síntomas del Trastorno de Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad han sido la farmacología y la terapia psicológica en el niño y los padres. En el presente estudio se evalúan los procesos cognitivos tras un año de rehabilitación neuropsicológica y terapia cognitivo-conductual familiar de un niño con epilepsia y posibles síntomas de Trastorno de Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad. Los resultados muestran una mejoría de los procesos cognitivos como la atención, la memoria verbal y no verbal a corto y largo plazo, y la función ejecutiva. También una leve mejoría de la percepción de los padres sobre los síntomas de hiperactividad e impulsividad. Este estudio obtiene resultados esperanzadores para realizar la intervención integral en niños que tienen epilepsia y síntomas de Trastorno de Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad. Futuros estudios deben incluir una muestra mayor de sujetos con deterioro cognitivo y lesiones cerebrales similares.

El impacto familiar de los trastornos del desarrollo es una evidencia extensamente descrita que genera intensas respuestas emocionales en los padres y supone un complicado reajuste en las dinámicas familiares. El apoyo emocional y la ayuda psicológica a los progenitores, forma parte del desempeño profesional de los psicólogos que trabajan en el campo de los problemas del desarrollo, ya que esta intervención revertirá en la calidad de atención y en la estabilidad del niño con dificultades. Es fundamental conocer las necesidades de los progenitores y la importancia que les dan a éstas, así como desarrollar instrumentos válidos para los profesionales en la evaluación e intervención de familias. Este trabajo pretende, con un estudio transversal descriptivo en padres, madres y profesionales, describir y comparar estas necesidades. Se encuestaron a 37 padres y madres de niños con patología del desarrollo y a 20 profesionales de diversos centros educativos y de intervención infantil. Los resultados indican que ambos coinciden en el tipo de necesidades que tienen los padres y madres, aunque no en la valoración de la importancia que les dan a éstas.

En España, el divorcio con menores involucrados ha comportado un incremento sustancial de demandas de informes periciales. El objetivo ha sido analizar la valoración en sentencias judiciales de los informes periciales privados con formación específica forense, informes periciales privados sin formación específica forense e, informes periciales de los equipos psicosociales de los Juzgados sobre la guarda y custodia y el régimen de visitas del progenitor no custodio. Se aplicó un protocolo confeccionado ad hoc por los autores a 111 expedientes contenciosos de los Juzgados de Familia. Se hallaron diferencias significativas en las valoraciones expresadas por las sentencias judiciales sobre los informes periciales privados y los informes periciales de los equipos psicosociales. Los análisis sugieren que las sentencias expresaron una opinión favorable con preferencia por los informes periciales realizados por los equipos psicosociales adscritos a los juzgados de familia. Se aporta evidencia empírica directa. Un 56.8% de las sentencias expresaron una opinión favorable de los informes periciales, e instaron a las partes a seguir las recomendaciones del informe pericial.
Relationships between Karolinska Personality Scales and the new factors and facets of the Zuckerman-Kuhlman-Aluja Personality Questionnaire

Psychobiological models of personality are of great use in clinical and research settings given their potential to construct working hypotheses on biological and behavioural correlates, as well as to predict vulnerability to mental disorders. Two personality models are rooted in this psychobiological tradition: Zuckerman's Alternative Five Factors and the Karolinska Personality Scales (KSP). A new instrument (ZKA-PQ) has been recently developed by Aluja, Kuhlman & Zuckerman (2010) to measure the Alternative Five Factors. The ZKA-PQ incorporates four new facets by each trait. This article analyses areas of overlap and differences between the ZKA-PQ and Karolinska Personality Scales. The total sample comprised 584 subjects (294 men and 290 women). The results suggest that sensation seeking (ZKA-PQ) is mainly associated with monotony avoidance (KSP), neuroticism (ZKA-PQ) with anxiety scales, aggressiveness (ZKA-PQ) with every KSP aggression scale, and extroversion (ZKA-PQ) with the detachment scale (KSP). The discussion mainly centres on the information provided by the ZKA-PQ facets beyond basic personality traits, since in certain cases they qualify these general patterns, adding relevant information on the nature of the ZKA-PQ and Karolinska scales.

Published: September 2021

The research presents mutual coupling reduction between UWB-MIMO antenna elements using stub loading technique. The proposed 2 × 2 UWB antenna geometry consists of two circular-shaped monopole radiators with a partial ground for perfect impedance matching. Stubs of 20 mm × 0.2 mm are inserted between the two antenna elements in the ground plane to improve the isolation. The decoupling stub leads to a mutual coupling reduction of less than 20 dB. The farfield measurement at a selected frequency of 10 GHz confirms an omnidirectional radiation pattern. Different MIMO antenna metric such as channel capacity loss (CCL), mean effective gain (MEG), total active reflection coefficient (TARC), envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), and surface current are presented. Details of the design considerations and the simulation and measurement results are presented and discussed. The proposed MIMO antenna array can be well suited for UWB applications.

Published: September 2021

The protection of power system is an essential trait in a huge network to efficiently detect and isolate the sections undergoing faults or abnormal behaviour. The key components of a protection scheme include circuit breakers, relays, switchgears and fuses which employ communication from one station to another to achieve high-speed tripping. The automation of these components at the laboratory level using programmable logic controller (PLC) along with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system owns paramount importance for intelligent decision making, sensing, actuating, monitoring and maintaining the record in the host server. This paper discusses such a technique for conventional power system protection laboratory at a new level of development to promote a control system through PLC and SCADA. The control system has indication of over and under values of voltage, load and frequency, which can trigger malfunctioning of equipment and must be rectified. Furthermore, ground fault and inverse current indication are added to the system for monitoring and controlling purposes. The proposed system enhances the efficiency and safety of the expensive equipment and the personnel to the next level and also introduces new standards of automated protection schemes for modern technical institutes.

Objective.The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of inflammatory mediators in rats with only periodontitis and periodontitis in a setting of hyper- and hypo-thyroidism and to analyze the correlative linkages between inflammatory mediators and thyroid hormones.

Methods.White male 12–14 weeks old inbred rats (n=48) weighing 180–200 g were employed in the experiment. They were randomly divided into the following groups: Group I – control group, Group II – group with a model of periodontitis, Group III – group with a periodontitis in a setting of hyperthyroidism, and Group IV – group with periodontitis in a setting of hypothyroidism. The presence of tumor-necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukins IL-1β and IL-10 in the periodontal homogenate supernatant was studied by a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results.It was shown that experimental lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced periodontitis is accompanied by hyperproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β) and reduction of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10), whereas TNF-α underwent to maximum changes. Thyroid dysfunction exacerbates cytokine imbalance and severity of inflammation in experimental LPS-induced periodontitis, especially pronounced at hyperthyroidism, as evidenced by the predominance of TNF-α and IL-1β levels in the periodontal homogenate supernatant by 38.5% (р<0.01) and 75.6% (p<0.001), respectively, hyperthyroid over the euthyroid, and by 20.1% (p<0.05) and 24.1% (p<0.05), respectively, over the hypothyroid rats.

Conclusions.Thyroid dysfunction, especially hyperthyroidism, may play an important role in the pro-inflammatory response in periodontitis. Hyperproduction of inflammatory mediators in thyroid dysfunction can induce a noticeable damage in the whole apparatus of the periodontium, thereby causing progression of periodontitis.
