The diagnostic and prognostic value of serological markers of inflammatory bowel diseases (a literature review)
Authors: Kuznetsova D. А. , Lapin S. V. , Shchukina O. B.
Published: November 2020

The diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is based on a combination of clinical, endoscopic, histological, radiological and laboratory methods. However, conventional diagnostic methods are not always sufficiently informative in IBD, especially in the case of unclassified colitis, which necessitates the extension of standard diagnostic approaches. Currently, there is an actively search for non-invasive serological markers for early and differential diagnosis of IBD and for the assessment of activity and prognosis of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Among the most interesting serological markers are anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA), anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), goblet cells antibodies (GAB) and pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB). The aim of this review is to assess the diagnostic and prognostic significance of ASCA, ANCA, GAB, PAB in CD and UC. The paper presents the summary of the data on the role of ASCA, ANCA, GAB and PAB in abnormalities of the immunological tolerance mechanisms to intestinal microflora and intestinal permeability in IBD. We discuss the results of the studies on the associations of ASCA with a complicated CD phenotype, its response to genetically engineered biological therapies, and the need for surgical intervention. The article describes the data on the association of ANCA to the risk of progression of left-sided UC to widespread (total) colon lesions resistant to hormonal therapy, and that of antibodies to DNA-lactoferrin complexes and proteinase 3 to primary sclerosing cholangitis. It has been noted that PAB may be a prognostic marker for ileocolitis, perianal lesions, extraintestinal manifestations and complicated CD, and GAB a  predictor of total UC with chronic persistent course. It should be emphasized that combined determination of ASCA, ANCA, GAB and PAB is highly informative, compared to the isolated detection of autoantibodies, for the differential diagnosis and prognosis of CD and UC.

La experiencia de habitar el interior doméstico como forma de repensar la torre de apartamentos
Authors: Otárola-Mora Mauricio , Castro-Chacón Esteban
Published: December 2020

Como consecuencia al aumento de población en los centro urbanos, una nueva tipología de edificio ha tenido un mayor impacto en el paisaje urbano, la torre de apartamentos. Esta tipología cambia las dinámicas de socialización entre vecinos y elimina la condición barrial al ser objetos arquitectónicos separados de la ciudad. Debido a intereses económicos, estos desarrollos han reducido al máximo los espacios habitacionales, ofreciendo unidades entre 30 y 70 m2 sin acceso a una correcta iluminación y ventilación natural o espacios exteriores como balcones o patios. La calidad de vida de los habitantes se ve altamente deteriorada debido a estos formatos de alta densidad habitacional, afectando estados de ánimo y relaciones interpersonales.

Este artículo analiza el desarrollo de esta tipología, dando una perspectiva histórica y social de sus inicios como parte de la arquitectura moderna y su potencialidad futura en el contexto actual. El objetivo del estudio consiste en brindar alternativas tanto arquitectónicas como de gestión y organización social que permitan un desarrollo inmobiliario que tribute a una mejor sociabilidad en la ciudad y una mejor calidad de vida para sus habitantes. Haciendo énfasis a la relación simbiótica entre la pequeña escala del edificio de vivienda e interior doméstico y la ciudad como construcción colectiva.
El análisis urbano como una estrategia para la identificación de trayectos y conjuntos con valor patrimonial en la ciudad de San José, Costa Rica
Authors: Malavassi-Aguilar Rosa Elena
Published: December 2020

Esta investigación tiene por objetivo desarrollar una estrategia para el conocimiento del patrimonio urbano y arquitectónico en la ciudad de San José, Costa Rica. Con la aplicación del análisis urbano, que toma como referencia las propuestas de los arquitectos italianos Gianfranco Caniggia y Gian Luigi Maffei, se identifican trayectos y conjuntos con valor patrimonial que incluyen aspectos históricos y los imaginarios ciudadanos. La motivación para el desarrollo de esta propuesta es la búsqueda de una figura de protección alternativa al Centro Histórico, de forma que se logre la conservación del patrimonio desde un enfoque integral.

Las fuentes primarias para el desarrollo de este análisis son los mapas y planos que se encuentran en el Archivo Nacional de Costa Rica, que comprenden el período 1841-1982, y las fotografías aéreas de la ciudad de San José del periodo 1945-1998 facilitadas por el Instituto Geográfico Nacional. Con los insumos se construye una cartografía con el uso de un sistema de información geográfica.

Este trabajo se ubica en la línea de análisis del urbanismo y la arquitectura desarrollada por autores latinoamericanos como Marina Waisman, en los que se propone el desarrollo de herramientas propias para el estudio de los bienes patrimoniales locales, de forma que se comprendan las características del contexto. El desarrollo de una herramienta como la propuesta sería de utilidad para los entes encargados de la protección del patrimonio y para las municipalidades en su tarea de gestionar los planes reguladores, en los que deben incluirse las zonas de protección.

Published: November 2020

Introducción La ortorexia nerviosa (ON) es un cuadro de obsesión por la comida saludable. El ORTO-15 es el cuestionario, en idioma italiano, que se utiliza para medir la tendencia a la ON. También se han generado versiones distintas como el ORTO-11 y ORTO-9. Es importante resaltar que no se ha encontrado una versión traducida ni validada del cuestionario ORTO-15 al idioma español. Objetivos Traducir el ORTO-15 del idioma español y validarlo en una población de jóvenes universitarias mujeres. Métodos Se realizó un estudio de validación del cuestionario ORTO-15 en tres fases: La fase (1) traducción, (3) fase de adaptación cultural y fase (3) de validación aplicada, con el cuestionario final desarrollado. Resultados El ORTO-15 presentó los siguientes índices de ajuste CFI = 0,783; TLI = 0,738; RMSEA 0,072; χ2 = 466,38 y un alfa de Cronbach = 0,73. El modelo 2 del ORTO 11 presentó un CFI = 0,853; TLI = 0,816; RMSEA 0,074; χ2 = 102,9 y un alfa de Cronbach = 0,74. Finalmente el modelo 3 del ORTO 9 presentó (CFI = 0,752; TLI = 0,669; RMSEA 0.096; χ2 = 91,27 y un alfa de Cronbach = 0,64). El modelo 2, fue el que mejor se ajusta a nuestros datos y se adapta a nuestra realidad. Conclusión El mejor cuestionario para evaluar la tendencia a la ON en la población estudiada es el ORTO 11, el cual presentó mejores propiedades psicométricas en comparación con el ORTO 9 y el ORTO 15.

Authors:   ,   Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC), Gutiérrez Soto Maletzin
Published: November 2020

La seguridad ciudadana es un tema prioritario en la población peruana. El escenario actual, según el Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI), muestra que el 29% de la población general urbana ha sido víctima de algún hecho delictivo. Ante esta problemática, el trabajo de las dependencias policiales es vital. Para ello, la comunicación como estrategia para orientar a los ciudadanos, debe de conducir a un claro entendimiento del tema y a una práctica adecuada. Frente a la carencia de programas de seguridad ciudadana dirigida a jóvenes y la poca promoción del tema, surge la necesidad de conocer la percepción de los jóvenes de los distritos de Jesús María y Pueblo Libre, respecto a las estrategias comunicativas que utilizan las comisarías de ambos distritos para informar sobre seguridad ciudadana. La metodología de investigación utiliza el paradigma naturalista y enfoque cualitativo. Se aplicaron 21 entrevistas a jóvenes residentes entre ambos distritos y a 10 miembros de la Policía Nacional del Perú. Los resultados evidenciaron que aunque existe un esfuerzo por realizar un trabajo de comunicación organizado a nivel policial, no es segmentado, lo que genera la percepción de lejanía en los jóvenes y representa una oportunidad de mejora para la policía.

Authors: Blazius Carina Maccari , De Abreu Ana Lígia Papst , Betioli Andrea Murillo
Published: November 2020

A ventilated façade is a construction system that promotes advantages such as agility in execution, high productivity, time reduction of receiving materials and production, among others. Brazil has no prescriptive normalization about construction of ventilated opaque façades; however, the performance standard (NBR 15.575) could be applied for evaluation of residential buildings. The paper aims to organize information on the ventilated opaque façade construction system contributing to the dissemination of the use of this technology in Brazil. The method adopted in the study was a data survey research of some Brazilian companies that use the ventilated opaque façade system, regarding their location, materials used, type of building (new or retrofit), and type of occupation (residential, commercial, institutional). Results show thermal insulation use is predominant in residence and institutional buildings with ventilated opaque façade, and ceramic is the most used material in Brazil, despite the variety of possible external coating materials. The survey shows that 78% of ventilated opaque façade buildings are non-residential, so there are no norms that could be applied. Finally, more academic works on opaque ventilated façades is necessary in order to help consolidate specific prescriptive norms in Brazil.
Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha and Age-Related Pathologies
Authors: Topolyanskaya S. V.
Published: December 2020

Modern concepts about the «inflammaging» and the role of subclinical inflammation in various age-associated pathology are described in the review. Particular attention is paid to the tumor necrosis factor-α, a key cytokine that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases as well as in aging. The increased levels of tumor necrosis factor-α leads to the onset and progression of various diseases, to severity of frailty, to disability and mortality of elderly persons. Tumor necrosis factor-α affects different risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, contributes to the onset and progression of atherosclerosis and related pathology. This cytokine can also aggravate various metabolic disorders, mainly — insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Tumor necrosis factor-α is a key cytokine that stimulates bone resorption (up to osteoporosis) and sarcopenia (up to cachexia). Currently available data confirm the important role of tumor necrosis factor-α in various age-associated disorders.
Seasonal Migration as a Livelihood Strategy of Women Agricultural Labourers in Soul Ponamara Mouza of Hirbandh Block, Bankura District, West Bengal
Authors: Nandi Debmita , Sarkar Sumana
Published: November 2020

Seasonal migration is a common livelihood strategy among marginal and landless people of the western part of West Bengal. The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) and Census data have failed to provide information on seasonal migration and livelihoods at the micro-level. The present study focuses on the nature, characteristics and factors of seasonal migration with its importance as a livelihood strategy among women agricultural labourers (WALs) in Soul Ponamara mouza of Hirbandh block at the micro-level. The study is based on primary data collection using a purposive sampling method and a semi-structured questionnaire, personal interview and focus group discussion. This study reveals that seasonal migration from Soul Ponamara to the adjacent agriculturally prosperous districts viz. Purba Bardhaman and Hooghly (4 to 6 times in a year) is a common livelihood strategy among WALs in the study area, and its proportion is almost equal to when compared to male migrants. The small size of agricultural land holding, existing monoculture system, lack of irrigation facilities, a limited job opportunity in the Soul Ponamara mouza and its surrounding area (Amjhuri, Bijardihi, Chaka Doba, Moshiara, Bamni and Rangametia) provoke women labourers to move out in searching of works. In contrast, high wage and massive demand for skilled and semi-skilled agricultural labourers during sowing and harvesting season in the destination area, that is, paddy and potato fields of Purba Bardhaman and Hooghly districts acted as a magnet to absorb these immigrants into the workforce. This study concludes that seasonal migration opted for employment and income generation is the primary livelihood strategy adopted by the rural WALs of this mouza to cope up with the existing poverty and food insecurity.
Gender Equality in Asia-Pacific: Reflections on the Beijing+25 Review
Authors: Cai Cai , Dahiya Bharat
Published: November 2020

This article reviews the 25-year progress made in implementing the ‘Beijing Platform for Action’ and the challenges that remain towards achieving gender equality in the Asia-Pacific region. Adopted in 1995 at the Fourth World Conference on Women, the ‘Beijing Platform for Action’ has been hailed as the most progressive policy blueprint for gender equality and women’s empowerment. In November 2019, over 600 participants from 54 countries, comprising representatives from Governments, international organisations and civil society organisations attended the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on the Beijing+25 Review in Bangkok. The delegations reviewed the “achievements, challenges and priority areas for realizing gender equality and women’s empowerment” (UNESCAP, 2019a:1) in Asia-Pacific. For 25 years, since the adoption of the ‘Beijing Platform for Action’, Asia-Pacific has witnessed significant progress in girls’ education and women’s health. Unprecedented progress has been made in and reducing maternal deaths and enhancing women’s representation in national parliaments and local governments in several countries. However, there are some enduring challenges, including women’s economic empowerment and political participation, and violence against women. Whilst women play a pivotal role in protecting the environment and natural resources, they have been underrepresented in environment-related decision making and negotiations. Accordingly, the key actions outlined by the ‘Asia-Pacific Declaration on Advancing Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: Beijing+25 Review’ cover a wide range of issues, from women’s economic empowerment, political participation, to women’s full and effective participation in environment conservation, climate action and peace building process.
Formation of Cognitive Flexibility as a Basic Competence of the Future Teachers’ Multicultural Personality
Authors: Savchuk Borys , Kondur Oksana , Rozlutska Galyna , Kohanovska Olena , Matishak Marianna , Bilavych Halyna
Published: November 2020

The article presents the results of research work on the formation of cognitive flexibility (CF) as an essential competence of the future teachers’ multicultural personality. It has been shown that various branches of knowledge (psychology, philosophy, clinical medicine, pedagogy, and others) contribute to the scientific and theoretical substantiation of CF, which is included in the TOP-10 most requested competencies in the XXI century. Based on the analysis of the essence and nature of the future teachers’ multicultural personality, the hypothesis that the competence of CF should become a vital component of personal development was put forward. To test this hypothesis, a pedagogical experiment was organised, which covered 33 future teachers studying "Educational, Pedagogical Sciences" at the Precarpathian National University (Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine). The experiment was conducted in four stages: on the first preparatory stage, a defined program of experimental activities was made; on the second statement stage, the diagnosis of future teachers’ CF levels was set on the basis of the developed prognostic tools (the Questionnaire Cognitive flexibility was created to define the main features of CF as a component of multicultural competence of the future teacher, tests); on the third formative stage the approbation of our methodology for the formation of CF was carried out, which had no analogues in modern education and pedagogy (this was implemented on the basis of our own special course "Cognitive flexibility and multicultural competence of the future teacher", which was held as a training seminar); on the fourth control stage the results of the experiment were determined. They showed that the indicators of CF formation of future teachers at a high level increased from 9.1% to 41.5% (4.7 times), at the medium level they decreased from 63.6% to 53% (1.2 times). At the low level, they changed from 27% to 5.5% (4.9 times) according to four defined criteria (cognitive abilities, adaptive abilities, flexibility of thinking, and emotional flexibility). This proves the effectiveness of the authors’ methodology for the formation of CF as a basic competence of the multicultural personality of the future teacher. It can be widely used in the training of specialists in various specialities.
Cultural Integration of Inter-State Migrants in Asansol, West Bengal
Authors: Singh Mukesh , Siddique Giyasuddin
Published: November 2020

Migration brings about changes in the cultural traits of both migrants and the receiving society. This becomes even more crucial, especially for India, which is characterised by rich cultural diversity and substantial inter-state migration. Cultural integration is the strategy of cultural exchange wherein one community incorporates changes without sacrificing its own culture and thus, pave the way for a more stable and harmonious society. Migration in Asansol dates back to the early 19th Century when the newly set up coal mining and the subsequent industrial development generated the demand for labour. Migrants brought with them a distinct culture which had to be reconstructed in the new cultural setup. This study is an attempt to understand the phenomena of cultural and psychological integration of the migrants in Asansol. A descriptive method has been employed to comprehend the migrants’ adaptation and the consequent socio-cultural changes.  A sample of 370 individuals has been taken to explore the migrant’s outlook toward integration with the larger society. Emphasis has been laid upon the way the migrants reconstruct themselves, appraise their perception, and adopt the dominant cultural traits. The study reveals that the migrants have immensely influenced the culture of the region under investigation.
Pronominal in Assamese and Bengali Language: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Bhattacharyya Archita
Published: November 2020

Out of the several modern Indo-Aryan languages that evolved in the eastern part of India, Assamese and Bengali are the two most prominent ones. Though both these two languages reached their respective present existence after passing through different phases of development, yet their roots are the same. Therefore, between both languages, there are many similarities even though both have evolved in distinctly different geographical areas, and there exist distinct differences between them. The differences not only create the distinction between them but also express their individuality too. In both, languages, pronoun and pronominal have occupied an important role in the discussion of morphology. Along with pronoun, the use of various pronominal which have evolved from the same root has flourished in both the languages. In this regard, both similarities and differences could be noticed in these two languages. Therefore, to identify the co-relation as well as the linguistic characteristics of both the languages, the comparative analysis is the only way out. In this study, an attempt is made to focus on how the pronominal of both languages are used to identify the similarities and differences between the two languages.
Homogeneity within Heterogeneity: Insights from the Culture of West Kameng of Arunachal Pradesh
Authors: Nayak Prasanta Kumar
Published: November 2020

As the world moves faster towards a homogenised culture, the logic of keeping heterogeneous properties of culture seems asynchronous. The liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation (LPG) model of growth and development of states throw challenges to the indigenous cultures and traditions for a state like India where diverse traditional moorings, cultural systems, religious practices, and ethnic variations stand core to its integrity. In the rat-race for development, indigenous cultures and traditions of a state are enmeshed within ‘accept the global go and lose insularity’ or ‘decline it to stay homogeneous’. In a homogeneous societal culture, the underlying values and beliefs are squarely believed, shared, and practised compared to many different values and beliefs professed by diverse population groups in the case of a heterogeneous one.

 Arunachal Pradesh with twenty-six major tribes and numerous sub-tribes at its credit stands incredible for its ethnicity, tribal indigenous identities, and cultural homogeneity. As is the number, so is the variation with indigeneity and nuances of culture practised by the tribes. The cultural diversity of the people differs from tribe to tribe even if they reside within the same geographical area. The district West Kameng is abode to six different tribes—Akas, Buguns, Mijis, Monpas, Sajalongs, and Sherdukpens living in close proximity with each other. However, their traditional culture with regards to their religious practices, dress, customs, rituals, languages, dialects, fairs, and festivals is starkly heterogeneous. Most remarkable is the criterion that heterogeneity hardly aberrates homogeneity within themselves. The focus of the present study is to highlight such a homogeneity-heterogeneity aspect of the culture of West Kameng.
Dairy antioxidant system

A review of dairy antioxidants was done based on local and international sources. Oxidative processes of fat are the main cause of chemical spoilage of milk and dairy products. Lipid oxidation is associated mainly with the amount of unsaturated fatty acids in the shells of fat globules and plasma phospholipids, as well as with the amount of free fat. The products of oxidative reactions at different stages of lipid oxidation with atmospheric oxygen are fatty acid hydroperoxides, peroxides, aldehydes, ketones, hydroxy acidswhich not only worsen the organoleptic characteristics of milk, but some of them are toxic substances. The antioxidant ability of milk is due to vitamins A, C, E, carotenoids, enzymes, lactoferin, sulfur-containing amino acids. One of the most powerful natural antioxidants is ascorbic acid, which is able to absorb superoxide anion radicals, alkoxyl radicals, superoxide, iron oxide, nitric oxide. Group E vitaminsare described, being the primary fat-soluble antioxidants. Among this group of substances, the most biologically active form is ?-tocopherol. The contribution of carotenoids to antioxidant protection has been determined. Beta carotene is considered as a preventive antioxidant, as it can block singlet oxygen which ishighly toxic. The mechanisms of antioxidant action of various enzymes are disclosed. Xanthioxidase has been shown to oxidize various aldigides and purine bases to the corresponding acids. Lactoperoxidase catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate with hydrogen peroxide to form thiociagen. Catalase oxidizes hydrogen peroxide to form water and molecular oxygen. Glutathione peroxidase is capable of rapidly removing hydrogen peroxide and other peroxides. The mechanism of the antioxidant action of lactoferrin is described which is based on iron the chelation by it. The functions of sulfur-containing amino acids due to the binding of free radicals are disclosed. Determining the total antioxidant activity can be a biomarker of its biological value, which will allow to choose the most perspective areas of milk processing..

The article considers the principle of developing a list of descriptors to describe the sensory characteristics of processed fruit and berry products as a result of osmotic dehydration with hypertonic sucrose solution. The analytical method of organoleptic analysis - the quantitative descriptive method, was used to determine significant characteristics. Initially, the testers compiled a preliminary list of descriptors for processed products, including 54 characteristics, which are divided into groups: consistency, appearance, taste, color and aroma. After deleting synonyms, antonyms, and hedonic descriptors, there are 12 descriptive characteristics left in the list. The following descriptors were identified: integrity of form, gloss, brightness of color, consistency: dense, juicy, soft, tender, watery, chewable, sticky, taste: pronounced varietal, sweet and sour taste, intense and extraneous aroma. After discussion between the testers and the head of research for unambiguous understanding of the descriptive characteristics was carried out studies of samples of berry, fruit products and structured reference profilograms frozen and frozen sweet berries and dried reference and dried fruit production. As a result of the organoleptic evaluation, it was found that all processed berries and fruits have a well-preserved consistency, appearance, taste, aroma and color. Levels of density, richness was appreciated, preserved the integrity of the form, pronounced colouring, no foreign flavor, taste of berries meets the variety, berries are delicate compared to a control sample. Thus the organoleptic quality assessment of processed fruit products showed that pre-osmotic dehydration with sucrose solutions for further processes such as freezing and drying have allowed for some handles to protect the structure of fruit and berry raw materials and does not negatively affect the indicators of appearance, consistency, taste, color and aroma, and improved their quality compared to traditional frozen or dried fruit and berry production.

The actual content of organic acids and macronutrients in the samples of purees made of strawberries, black currants, blackberries, cranberries, pears, cherries, apricots was determined in the work. The average value of malic acid mass fraction in the studied types of raw materials was 0.7%, while in apple puree it counted 0.43%. The average value of the sum of potassium and magnesium mass fraction for the presented types of raw materials was 212 mg / 100 g, and the previously determined value for apple puree was 211 mg / 100 g. Comparison of the actual values and reference data of the ranges of malic acid content and potassium and magnesium sum shows the possibility of the fruit component content determination in various confectionery products groups. Organic acids and macronutrients were proven to be used as identification indicators for many groups of fruit raw materials. The factual data on organic acids and macronutrients content in some types of fruit purees made of tropical fruits, which are characterized by very wide ranges, were obtained in the work. The mass fraction of malic acid in the studied samples is in the range from 0.03% to 0.30%. The potassium content ranges from 60 mg to 301 mg per 100 g of product, and the magnesium content ranges from 6 mg to 21 mg per 100 g of product. The preservation of organic acids and macronutrients in apple puree was proved during storage. This indicates the possibility of their use in the confectionery industry as accurate and reliable criteria for fruit raw materials identification in finished products.

Nowadays there is a wide market for cocoa butter equivalents, substitutes and improvers for the confectionery and dairy industries. An urgent task is the development of operational instrumental methods for cocoa butter and its substitutes quality control. Thermophysical parameters are among the most important characteristics of the fat phase for the food technology. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is becoming one of the most promising methods for analytical control of fat and oil products. Thermophysical data (temperatures of the maximums of endothermic peaks and their areas) for cocoa butter and chocolate glaze typical samples applied at dairy processing enterprises of the Central black soil region for the production of chocolate glazed curd bars were obtained in the work performed with its help. DSC data were compared with chromatographic data on triglyceride composition of the fat phase of cocoa butter, cocoa butter equivalents, lauric and non-lauric substitutes, and POP and SOS cocoa butter improvers. It was shown that the DSC method can control the quality of cocoa butter and chocolate glaze, identify chocolate products of different origin and triglyceride composition. Melting thermograms obtained by DSC are highly sensitive to the fat phase triglyceride composition. DSC allows reliable identification of samples of cocoa butter and glaze by melting curves in the temperature range from -100 to +50 ° C. It was found that the main melting peak of cocoa butter and its substitutes, due to the presence of a certain set of triglycerides, is observed in the temperature range from -5 to +30 °C. When examining glazes, the melting peak changes: it bifurcates, expands or narrows. Additional application of computer separation of the unseparated peaks superposition on the DSC melting curves increases the information content of the method and improves the reliability of the fat phase identification. The DSC method is characterized by sample preparation simplicity, has good reproducibility and other metrological characteristics and can be an independent method for fat and oil products identifying and quality control..

In the present work, the kinetics of aminolytic degradation of polyethylene terephthalate with a mixture of amino alcohols (monoethanolamine and triethanolamine) was studied to obtain terephthalic acid diamide (N, N'-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalamide).The degradation reaction was carried out at atmospheric pressure and periodically stirring the reaction mass, followed by purification of the product by recrystallization.The dependence of the yield of the target product (N, N'-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalamide) on the reaction time and temperature, as well as on the ratio of the components, was revealed. The possibility of using diamide as one of the components of rubbers to expand the ingredient base in the rubber industry is considered. The effect of the obtained diamide on the kinetics of vulcanization of rubbers based on nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR-40) was studied, and the physicochemical and physicomechanical properties of the obtained vulcanizates were examined. In a similar way, the effect of an oligomer obtained by polycondensation of this terephthalic acid diamide was studied. The choice of SKN-40 rubber as the basis is due to the high polarity of the rubber and its good compatibility with the obtained terephthalic acid diamide and its oligomer.The accelerating effect of terephthalic acid diamide in combination with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) on sulfur vulcanization of rubbers based on NBR-40 was revealed. The time to reach the optimum vulcanization is reduced by 4 min. In the case of using only terephthalic acid diamide, without the use of common accelerators, the optimum point of vulcanization shifts toward a longer time.In the case of using only terephthalic acid diamide, without the use of common accelerators, the optimum point of vulcanization shifts toward a longer time. Introduction diamide of terephthalic acid or its oligomer results in a change of physical and mechanical properties of the rubber - strength at break and elongation at break. The kinetics of the swelling of the resulting rubbers in toluene and gasoline was studied for four hundred hours. A decrease in the degree of swelling of vulcanizates in gasoline was observed with the introduction of terephthalic acid diamide instead of the zinc oxide vulcanization activator. Possible options for further application and use of the obtained terephthalic acid amide and its oligomer are considered.
