Актуальність. Вакцинація є найбільш ефективною ланкою первинної профілактики. Серологічний моніторинг за інфекційними захворюваннями, що охоплюються національними програмами імунізації, дуже важливий, оскільки він надає актуальну інформацію щодо тягаря інфекції та імунологічного статусу населення. Мета дослідження: навести аналіз епідеміологічного моніторингу протидифтерійного захисту населення, показати узагальнюючу епідеміологічну ситуацію щодо дифтерії та визначити показники ризику виникнення дифтерії серед населення Дніпропетровщини. Матеріали та методи. Епідеміологічний аналіз протидифтерійного імунітету (2017–2019 рр.) проводився на підставі результатів імуноферментного аналізу рівнів антитіл IgG проти дифтерійного токсину у 271 мешканця Дніпропетровщини. Результати. Аналіз результатів виявив, що лише 30,6 % (n = 83) населення мають рівні антитоксичних антитіл 1,0 МО/мл і більше, що обумовлює цим особам достатній захист проти дифтерії в найближчі 5–7 років життя. Разом з тим більшість населення (69,4 %) потребує негайної одноразової бустерної вакцинації (n = 134; 49,5 %) або негайної базової вакцинації (n = 54; 19,9 %) внаслідок низьких показників антитоксичних протидифтерійних антитіл. У групі віком 8–15 років 65,9 % (n = 62) потребують негайної базової або бустерної вакцинації, це свідчить про те, що у дітей цього віку не сформований базисний імунологічний захист внаслідок порушень графіку вакцинації або її відсутності. У групі віком 27 років і старше 79,1 % (n = 72) досліджених не мають протективних рівнів антидифтерійних антитіл, що свідчить про відсутність фактичного захисту проти дифтерії. Висновки. Результати роботи свідчать про недостатній популяційний захист населення проти дифтерії. У зв’язку з цим є актуальними питання розробки стратегічних заходів масової імунопрофілактики дифтерії як дітей, так і дорослих. У країні повинні проводитися регулярні епідеміологічні моніторинги, які вивчали б популяційний імунітет проти дифтерії та інших керованих інфекцій і складали перспективний стратегічний і тактичний план з ліквідації недоліків в роботі щодо проведення масової імунопрофілактики населення.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has stimulated the development of new technologies and techniques that are changing the global production system. The objective of this paper is to analyze the stream of innovation of Agriculture 4.0, such as its origin, features and consequences. Agriculture 4.0 is a digital model of agricultural production guided by high-performance manufacturing and is a result of a long historical process of technological development. The innovation in the agricultural sector in Brazil is essential to the maintenance of its competitiveness. However, the 4.0 concept of production is still a challenge the country needs to overcome. Agtech startups are working as a solution for technology diffusion. The Piracicaba Valley Agtech, in the state of São Paulo, is a successful case of Agriculture 4.0 concept development.
On the treatment of super-heavy syllables in Arabic Dialects: an Optimality Theoretic approach to historical typology
Authors: Bokhari Hassan
Published: December 2021

This study provides a historical typological Optimality Theoretic analysis of the treatment of potential super-heavy syllables in six Arabic varieties: Hijazi, Egyptian, Emirati, Kuwaiti, Algerian, and Palestinian. The analysis in this study uses the same violable OT constraints for all languages, and the differences between the grammars are represented by the order in which the constraints are ranked relative to one another. The similarities and differences between these varieties are examined from the point of view of one approach to historical OT (Cho 1998), which states that individual pairs of constraints may be ranked or unranked in relation to one another, one operation at a time, meaning that switching the order of two constraints takes two steps historically. According to Cho (1998, 45), “each step of a sound change should be viewed as a change in the ranking of constraints.” Cho’s approach in detecting the historical typological differences between varieties by counting the steps of constraint reranking is compatible with a common approach to historical linguistics. Specifically, Wichmann et al. (2010) provide a quantitative method for determining the geographic homeland of a group of related languages, which takes into account a simple linguistic-difference metric and the geographic distance between the languages. Using constraint reranking in place of Wichmann et al.’s linguistic-difference metric to calculate the homeland of Arabic dialects results in an area around Hijaz as the homeland of Arabic dialects, since Hijazi, Egyptian and Emirati dialects form a cluster of geographically close, but linguistically diverse dialects.
Forced Vibrations of Planetary Gears with Elements of the Increased Flexibility
Authors: Pushkarev Ivan Andreevich
Published: December 2021

The paper continues the research of dynamics of planetary gears with elements of the increased flexibility. The ba-sis for the analytical model and input equations is the system of nine differential equations of dynamics of the plane-tary mechanism received earlier. In the generalized forces the engine moment, the moment caused by torsion of an elastic shaft of a sun gearwheel, and elastic forces in meshing of gearwheels and on satellites axes are considered. The planetary carrier’s speed is assumed to be constant. The rigidity of the axle of the satellite in the tangential di-rection considerably exceeds the rigidity of the axle in the radial direction, therefore, the displacement in the tangen-tial direction is absent. The moment of the engine changes under the harmonious law. In this case forced vibrations of a sun gearwheel and the satellite can be considered separately from forced vibrations of the satellite in the radial di-rection owing to flexibility of the satellite axle. Amplitude-frequency characteristics of these oscillations are con-structed. Characteristics of vibration processes are expressed through mass-dimensional, kinematic and strength parameters of the planetary gear taking into account flexibility of its elements. Influence of the relative height of the flexible axle section, gear ratio of the mechanism and module of gearing on the amplitude of forced vibrations and the position of the resonance area is investigated. Conclusions are drawn on limits of variation of these parameters and their influences on the structure of planetary gears.

Mathematical modeling is created for the mathematical task of spatial motion of the controlled parachute-tether system of the “wind kite” type. The mathematical model parachute-tether system consists of a model of the main parachute and a model of the braking parachute. The parachutes are connected by the tether. The model of the main parachute is supposed to be the solid body. This solid body has two planes of symmetry. The braking parachute is the solid body with axial symmetry. The tether model is an absolutely flexible elastic thread. The tether is connected by ideal hinges with the main parachute and braking parachute. The control of the main parachute is carried out by changing the length of the control slings. Changing the length causes deformation of the dome. This is the reason for the change in its aerodynamics. Maneuvering of the main parachute occurs in the vertical plane, when the length of the control slings changes simultaneously. Maneuvering of the main parachute in space is carried out when the length of the control slings changes, when the slings are given a travel difference. The system of dynamic and kinematic equations is designed for calculating the controlled spatial movement of the main parachute, braking parachute and tether. The option exists when the mass of the tether and the forces applied to the tether cannot be neglected. The motion of the tether is represented by the equations of motion of an absolutely flexible elastic thread in projections on the axis of a natural trihedron. The mathematical model is represented by a system of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. The problem is solved using various numerical methods. The solution is possible with the help of an integrated numerical and analytical approach as well.
Investigation of the Influence of Non-Flatness and Runout of Friction Discs on the Service Life of Machine Clutches

Published: December 2021

In the manufacture of discs, it is important not only to ensure their specified geometric accuracy and correct shape, but to maintain geometric parameters during operation. The method of testing disks on the IKS-T inertial test bench is described. The main units of the test bench and the loading parameters of the disks are indicated. Research has been carried out on the influence of the runout and non-flatness of friction discs on the service life of the clutches. Bench tests made it possible to determine the optimal runout range of discs up to 0.8 mm, which ensures an increase in the reliability of the clutches by 30 % due to a decrease in the wear of the friction discs. In addition, the test results show that with a decrease in non-flatness from 1.2 mm to 0.3 mm, the service life of the friction discs increases by 16 %, i.e. wear of discs in the running-in mode with distortions in geometry occurs more intensively than for discs with a flat surface. With an out-of-flatness value of 0.3 mm, the discs acquire improved elastic characteristics. It was possible to determine that increased values of disc wear are observed mainly along the outer diameter, due to the runout and higher sliding speed compared to the sliding speed on the inner diameter. Calculated dependences of the limiting number of loading cycles on the beating and non-flatness of discs are presented. It was found that when testing discs with the non-flatness less than 0.3 mm, disc wear appears with the formation of “poppet” disc shape. For the purpose of imparting the correct shape to the products with the exclusion of “poppet” discs, a dynamic straightening with combined loading is proposed. The resulting calculated dependencies will be used in the design of industrial universal installations for cyclic alternating bending of friction discs.
Renewal of Middle Wave Transmitters in Slovak Republic

Published: December 2021

This paper deals with the replacement of middle wave transmitters in Slovak Republic. The original transmitters were based on class C vacuum tube fundamentals and were produced by the Czechoslovakian group company Tesla. Class C transmitters were transmitting reliably to this day, however, the lifespan of these transmitters was nearing its end, moreover the need for a better quality analog modulated signal has pushed for its replacement and therefore they were replaced by modern, highly efficient class D transmitters, while utilizing the original infrastructure consisting of antennas and power inputs. Due to differences in characteristic parameters, however minor, this caused some significant problems, with impedance matching. To resolve these problems, it was necessary to implement a newly designed IMU (Impedance Matching Unit), while also securing a lightning strike protection. This paper has proposed a possibility of lightning surge protection of middle wave transmitters. The original protection implemented with the installations of class C transmitters was consisted only of multiple spark gaps. This kind of protection may prove inefficient using new class D transmitters. The device described in this paper has been designed and successfully implemented on a middle wave transmitter in Čižatice. This transmitter is transmitting with 5 kW power on the antenna with the carrier frequency of 702 kHz. Since the implementation of our device, the transmitter reports no failures and continues to transmit safely.

The paper presents the results of simulation of the process of video data transmission from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to a ground station using the IEEE 802.11 family standards (802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax), with the ability to change modulation indices, coding schemes and data transfer rate in a network simulator NS-3. The aim of the work is to analyze the characteristics of the quality of video data transmission in the UAV network for various Wi-Fi standards, which allows determining the most suitable standard for the transmission of video data in the UAV network, depending on the distances between nodes and the required frequency band. A scenario is considered in which an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hovering in the air was transmitting a video stream to a ground station, while the distance between nodes increased, and the transmission rate was maintained at the same level close to the transmission rate of the real video stream. The simulation was carried out in several stages for a more detailed study of the dependence of the packet loss of the transmitted data on the change in modulation indices, coding schemes and other parameters. Based on the simulation results, the characteristics of the video data transmission quality were obtained as a relation between the Packet delivery rate (PDR) and distance between nodes for different transmission parameters for each considered standard of the IEEE 802.11 family. Based on the results obtained, conclusions were drawn about the influence of transmission parameters on the quality of service characteristics. The study was carried out in an open-source network simulator NS-3, which implements build-in libraries that are necessary for high-quality simulation of data streaming transmission and allows you to set a wide range of parameters to obtain realistic results. The results of the work may be of interest to UAV manufacturers when planning missions in which the choice of Wi-Fi standard used as a channel for transmitting video data is crucial.
