Authors: Awadelseid Khalid Musa Fadlelmula
Published: June 2020

The passage of the posterior tibial nerve in the tarsal tunnel has a great clinical significance, thus detailed anatomical knowledge is mandatory for safe clinical intervention. This study was to identify the morphological appearance of the tibial nerve and its bifurcation. Sixty lower limbs of formalin embalmed cadavers were randomly selected. Data were collected through the application of standard dissection method of the tarsal tunnel of lower limbs (30 rights and 30 left) of formalin embalmed cadavers. The posterior tibial nerve and its branches were exposed from the distal end of the leg toward plantar surface beyond its bifurcation by resecting the skin and flexor retinaculum. The study triggered several findings: The posterior tibial nerve is flattened shaped in 21 specimens 70% and has a rounded shape in 9 specimens 30%in the right foot. In the left foot it is flattened in 17 specimens 56.7% and rounded shape in 13 specimens 43.3%. Posterior tibial nerve bifurcates into medial and lateral planter nerves inside tarsal tunnel in 20 specimens 66.7% in the right foot and in 21 specimens 70% in the left foot. This study concludes that posterior tibial nerve commonly has flattened shape and divided into medial and lateral planter nerves inside tarsal tunnel.

A field experiment was conducted during 2017/2018 to assess the effects of Argel (Solenostemmaargel, Del. Hayne) and Nitrogen fertilizer on the performance of two Sunflower Hybrid cultivars, with the objectives to exploit an easy, economic, and accessible organic fertilizer, the Argel in the phase of the continuous increasing prices of chemical fertilizers.. This experiment was laid out on spilt-split-plot experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. Observations were taken on some agronomic traits (Plant height (m), Leaf area (LA), leaf Number (NL), Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Mean Seed Weight). The results revealed that the application of Argel and Nitrogen fertilizer have significantly increased the leaf Area (F= 7.22, P < 0.001), Plant Height (F=2.68, P < 0.2001), Leaf Number (F= 3.90, P < 0.0024), Leaf Area Index (F= 3.83, P < 0.0026) and Mean Seed Weight of both Serena and Opera cultivars respectively compared to the control. However, the different treatments of Argel and Nitrogen reflected variable degree of increase for the studied parameters. The study concludes that Argel is very promising, therefore a further study with different levels of Argel including other plant parameters is recommended.
Biomedical Infophysical Models of Filtering Ghost Airflows by Wearing Masks and Maintaining Social Distancing to Prevent COVID-19 and Reopen All Systems after Shutdowns (Lockdowns)
Authors: Cheng Kang , Zou Changhua
Published: June 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has killed more than 400 thousand and infected more than 7 million people in the whole world as of 06/10/2020. Many open systems, such as educations, transportations, entertainments, sports or foods, have been completely or partially locked down in many regions of the world to prevent COVID-19 spreading. Therefore, how to reopen all of the open systems after the shutdown has become a world urgent issue.

Evidences of COIVD-19 have showed: person-to-person transmission occurs among close contacts; virus droplets (or aerosols) play an important role in the transmission; people can prevent COVID-19 by measures of mask-wearing or maintaining social distancing. However, how these measures work to prevent COVID-19 is still not clear in a perspective of biomedical Infophysics.

In this study, (1) we think the transmission of infection can be accomplished by real or virtual person; (2) we define a virtual person as ghost airflow, a term we coin to describe virus droplets (or aerosols) that are initially generated by human carriers and remain in the air to be transmitted. These ghost airflows are as dangerous as the real virus carriers particularly in enclosed (confined) environments; (3) we propose biomedical infophysical models (BMIPM) of filtering the ghost airflows by mask-wearing and maintaining social distancing, to help people to understand the filtering mechanisms and willingly follow the guidelines of preventing covid-19, and therefore to successfully reopen all of the open systems after the shutdowns (lockdowns) and (or) to avoid the shutdowns (lockdowns) in future epidemics or pandemics.

Significantly, we compare the prevention efficiencies of COVID-19 between people who are accustomed and not accustomed to masks based on the published WHO, CDC or NHC pandemic data. The compared results support our models in this investigation.

Coronaviruses easily survive and have high toxicity, in dirty, wet and cold environments, and the air pollution is linked with higher COVID-19 death rates. The dingy environments and air-conditioning, freezing systems sufficiently provide such necessary dirty, wet and cold conditions and polluted airflows to exacerbate the mortality rate of COVID-19. Therefore, we strongly suggest: to use air conditioners as less as possible, to turn the wind levels as low as possible and to clean (disinfecting) the air-conditioning systems (filters and channels) and environments as frequent as possible.
Metabolic changes in patients with prostate cancer with androgen deprivation therapy
Authors: Peshkov Maxim N. , Peshkova Galina P. , Reshetov Igor V.
Published: June 2020

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer among men. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the most effective treatment for this disease. The cornerstone of prostate cancer treatment is the inhibition of testosterone production, which interrupts testosterone-induced growth of the prostate tumour. A sharp decrease in testosterone, however, has several undesirable effects on the metabolic profile and bone metabolism and can also lead to fatigue, loss of libido, gynecomastia and anaemia, provoke vasomotor hyperaemia and generally affect the quality of life. To increase the good (long-term) survival of patients with prostate cancer, studying the side effects associated with treatment is important, and therefore, in every clinical situation, the benefits of ADT must be compared with the side effects associated with the treatment. This article focuses on the described metabolic complications of ADT, including obesity, diabetes, lipid changes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. It also contains practical recommendations for managing the side effects and complications based on the available guidelines issued by the medical professional community.

Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND: State Register of Diabetes Mellitus (SRDM) plays an important role in the dynamic analysis of the epidemiological parameters that evaluate the disease itself and its complications, and also helps to analyze the quality of specialized medical care for patients. To solve modern scientific and practical problems, it is important to analyze data not only among the entire population of Russia, but also in large administrative-territorial subjects of the country.
AIMS: To Study the dynamics of the main epidemiological indicators (values) among patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) living in Moscow for the period from 2013 to 2018 according to the State Register of Diabetes Mellitus (SRDM).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The analysis of Moscow region of the SRDM database was conducted. According to it there were registered 345.1 thousand patients with diabetes by 01.01.2019.
RESULTS: During the period from 2013 to 2018 the total number of patients with DM increased up 9.8% (from 314.4 thousand to 345.1 thousand people). DM2 accounts for 94% of the total number of patients.
According to SRDM the prevalence of DM1 on 100 thousand population has grown up 6.9% (from 152.2 in 2013 to 162.7 in 2018); DM2 by 9.6% (from 2864.7 in 2013 to 3139.4 in 2018). The incidence of DM1 per 100 thousand people decreased down to 6.4% (from 4.7 in 2013 to 4.4% in 2018); DM2 grew up 4.3% (from 198.1 in 2002, to 206.6 in 2018).
Throughout the study period the incidence of DM2 was higher among women, while the opposite trend was observed among women with DM1. The mortality among people with DM1 in 2018 was 1.6 per 100 thousand among adult population (in 2017 it was 1.7); among patients with DM2 the mortality was 56.6 people per 100 thousand among adult population (in 2017 it was 65.6).
The first place among the direct causes of death among patients with DM1 and DM2 in 2018 was occupied by cardiovascular diseases (57.5% and 67.9%, respectively), the second place oncological diseases (9.9% and 12.2%).
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the epidemiological analysis showed that since 2013 in Moscow there has been an increase in the prevalence of diabetes, against the background of stable indicators of incidence (except for the organizational period of adapting to the new online data entry system of SRDM). The leading causes of death of patients with diabetes are cardiovascular and oncological diseases.

Published: June 2020

Diabetic neuroosteoarthropathy (Charcots osteoarthropathy, DNAP, Charcots foot) is a common complication of diabetic neuropathy, which can be easily diagnosed in clinical practice and usually is corrected without leading to severe deformation of the affected joint in case of timely and adequate treatment. We present the result of long-term clinical observation of a patient with early development of complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus, diabetic dermatopathy, common DNOAP with damage to the joints of the feet, ankles, knees and elbows. A feature of the described clinical case is the prevalence of osteoarticular disorders with seizure of atypical diabetes zones knee and elbow joints, the defeat of which is more characteristic of other diseases (such as collagenoses and syphilis), as well as a combination of DNOAP with diabetic dermatopathy. It seems that the causes of such a common arthropathic process lie in the long course of diabetic neuropathy, which debuted long before the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, as well as the development and progression of this patient in the last decade of observing diabetic nephropathy and associated secondary hyperparathyroidism. In the modern literature, descriptions of combinations of dermatopathies with other complications of diabetes mellitus are extremely rare, and references to a combination of common DNAP and diabetic bullosis have not been found.
Lipodystrophy at the insulin injection sites: current trends in epidemiology, diagnostics and prevention
Authors: Klimontov Vadim V. , Lazarev Mikhail M. , Letyagin Andrey Ju. , Bulumbaeva Dinara M. , Bgatova Natalia P.
Published: June 2020

Lipodystrophy at the injection sites is most common local complication of insulin therapy. The history of its study started in 1926, when first cases of lipoatrophy at the sites of insulin injections were described. As we moved to human insulin and insulin analogues, immune mediated atrophic form of lipodystrophy has been replaced by hypertrophic one, which reflects anabolic and mitogenic effect of insulin.
Lipohypertrophy at the injection sites is detected by physical examination in 40-70% of insulin-treated subjects. The detection efficiency depends on health care provider`s skills. Therefore, training of medical doctors and nurses in physical examination of injection sites seems to be reasonable.
In recent years, ultrasound was introduced for diagnostics of insulin-induced lipohypertrophy. The method is more sensitive compared to palpation; ultrasound-verified lipohypertropthy was detected in more than 80% of cases. In patients with wide-spread lipohypertrophy ultrasound can be used to find suitable sites for injections (ultrasound injection map). Strain sonoelastography and 3D-power Doppler ultrasound can be used for quantitative estimation of rigidity and vascularization of lipohypertrophy. Both MRI and infrared images are considered as promising diagnostic tools.
In a number of studies, it has been shown that the presence of lipohypertrophy is associated with high HbA1c levels, enhanced glycemic variability, unexplained hypoglycemia, and increased insulin doses. Thereby, lipohypertrophy aggravates the diabetes-related costs.
The main risk factor for lipohypertrophy is inappropriate injection technique, including the lack of the site rotation, injections into lipodystrophic lesions, small injection area, reuse or excessive length of the needles. Accordingly, training patients in the injection technique is the basis for prevention of complication. The cessation of injections in lipohypertrophy areas and regular site rotation is essential for adequate titration of insulin dose and achievement of glycemic targets.
Fast-acting insulin aspart: a review of its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and the clinical consequences
Authors: Haahr Hanne , Heise Tim
Published: June 2020

Fast-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) is insulin aspart (IAsp) with two added excipients, L-arginine and niacinamide, to ensure formulation stability with accelerated initial absorption after subcutaneous administration compared with previously developed rapid-acting insulins. The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties of faster aspart have been characterised in clinical pharmacology trials with comparable overall methodology. In subjects with type 1 (T1D) or type 2 (T2D) diabetes, the serum IAsp concentration-time and glucose-lowering effect profiles are left-shifted for faster aspart compared with IAsp. In addition, faster aspart provides earlier onset, doubling of initial exposure, and an up to 2.5-fold increase in initial glucose-lowering effect within 30 min of subcutaneous injection, as well as earlier offset of exposure and effect. Similar results have been shown using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). The improved pharmacological properties of faster aspart versus IAsp are consistent across populations, i.e. in the elderly, children, adolescents and the Japanese. Thus, the faster aspart pharmacological characteristics more closely resemble the mealtime insulin secretion in healthy individuals, giving faster aspart the potential to further improve postprandial glucose control in subjects with diabetes. Indeed, change from baseline in 1-h postprandial glucose increment is in favour of faster aspart versus IAsp when used as basal-bolus or CSII treatment in phase III trials in subjects with T1D or T2D. This review summarises the currently published results from clinical pharmacology trials with faster aspart and discusses the potential clinical benefits of faster aspart compared with previous rapid-acting insulin products.

Authors: Ding Fang , Zhang Shumin , Ren Xuehong , Guan Jinping
Published: June 2020

The flame retardant, diethyl methacryloylphosphoramidate (DMPP), was synthesized by the reaction of diethyl chlorophosphate with methacrylamide and triethylamine. DMPP was grafted onto polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics by electron beam (EB) irradiation. scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectra showed that the flame retardant was successfully grafted on the surface of PET fabrics. The morphology of the grafted fabrics after burning showed a porous protective layer on the surface. The FT-IR spectra showed that the flame retardant generated a large amount of phosphorus oxygen-nitrogen compounds after burning. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the grafted fabrics increased with the increase of DMPP concentration. The char length of fabrics treated with DMPP after combustion decreased from 30 cm to 5.9 cm, which demonstrated effective flame resistance.

Zero product preserving bilinear operators acting in sequence spaces
Authors: Erdoğan E.
Published: June 2020

Consider a couple of sequence spaces and a product function $-$ a canonical bilinear map associated to the pointwise product $-$ acting in it. We analyze the class of "zero product preserving" bilinear operators associated with this product, that are defined as the ones that are zero valued in the couples in which the product equals zero. The bilinear operators belonging to this class have been studied already in the context of Banach algebras, and allow a characterization in terms of factorizations through $\ell^r(\mathbb{N})$ spaces. Using this, we show the main properties of these maps such as compactness and summability.

Orthodontical Management of Secondary Dental Migration Associated with a Reduced Periodontium: A Case Report
Authors: Elhajoubi Laila , Rhissassi Meriem , Zaoui Fatima , Bahije Loubna
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Dental migrations following periodontal pathology may lead to significant aesthetic and functional complaints. In this case report, the presence of evident gingival recessions and mandibular crowding pushed us to opt for an ortho-periodontal multidisciplinary treatment plan, using extractions and incisive repositioning. Through this, we ensured tissue gain at the level of the superficial and deep periodontitis, thus avoiding the use of periodontal surgery.Clinical Case: A Moroccan 26-years-old female medical secretary who, being very concerned about her appearance and facial aesthetics, presented with pathological dental migrations following severe periodontitis, an unsatisfactory periodontal status, a clear mandibular crowding of the anterior inter-incisive diastemas, gingival recessions, attachment losses and quite large pocket depths with advanced bone resorptions in different areas. This required a specific multidisciplinary approach aiming at creating a healthy and well-structured periodontal environment through extensive periodontal treatment, combined with regular plaque control, and supplemented by an orthodontic treatment using extractions and incisive repositioning in order to avoid any vestibular movement that may worsen the recessions and will require possible overlapping. After 22 months of combined treatment, a stable occlusion was obtained with class I molar and canine relationship, perfect dental alignment, healthy periodontal architecture, and significant attachment gain and bone growth. In addition, the patient’s facial aesthetics and self-confidence have been significantly improved. Conclusion: The orthodontic treatment supplementing the meticulously planned periodontal therapy that was administered for this patient has helped to improve functionality, facial aesthetics as well as psychological self-confidence. However, it must be gradual with an application of mild forces and constant control of the periodontal status, for optimal tissue response.

Published: June 2020

Aim. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the connection between students’ learning efficiency and different indicators of personal perfectionism. The secondary objective was to study the characteristics of students’ learning effectiveness depending on the level of perfectionism.

Methods. The participants of the study were 110 students studying at the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”. The level of personal perfectionism was measured with use of “Perfectionism” questionnaire by N.H. Haranian and A.B. Kholmohorova. The level of learning activities efficiency was measured due to expert evaluation with participation of 26 lecturers-experts. Descriptive statistics were used to report means and standard deviations of perfectionism scales and learning efficiency levels. T-test was used for finding differences in level of personal perfectionism among students with different level of learning efficiency. Pearson correlation coefficient was used for establishing correlations between level of learning efficiency and different scales of personal perfectionism.

Results. The level of learning efficiency of students depends on the pace of learning, the quality of learning, the ability to generalize and synthesize new information. Positive statistically significant correlations were found between perfectionism and student learning efficiency.

Conclusions. The study identified that the most vulnerable to manifestations of perfectionism is a group of students who demonstrate the highest achievement in learning. Due to the excessive expectations of others (real or fictional), they set unrealistic goals, do not feel satisfied with their achievements, do not adequately assess their capabilities.

Aim. Due to the disappointing results in English oral competence achieved by Spanish students in international and national evaluations, the main aim of this research is to know teachers perceptions on the importance of affective factors and motivation in teaching and learning English in primary and secondary education. It is also essential to know whether these factors help students to improve their oral skills.

Method. A qualitative paradigm was utilised in this research in which three focus groups with ten teachers each and a moderator, were organised in two different Teacher Training Faculties (Spain and the United Kingdom). The categories of analysis were previously established according to the research aims.

Results and conclusion. The results obtained through the analysis of categories indicated that the participant teachers consider affective factors and motivation as fundamental aspects in the process of teaching and learning a second language. In addition they agreed with prestigious experts on the matter, such as Dörnyei, Ushioda or Chomsky, that these aspects are crucial to improve students' linguistic oral competence. The teachers demonstrate their opinions based on their professional experiences and educational philosophy constituting altogether a valuable bunch of information for other experts and researchers.

Aim. This research aims to theoretically characterize and empirically research the indicators of barriers and resources for journalists’ success in life through the prism of their professional scripts. The focus is on the axiological component of the professional script of media professionals.

Methods. We used theoretical analysis of the psychological works aiming at studying journalists’ success in life, and such methodological instruments as the Lifetime Orienteering Test (Leontiev, 2000); an adapted version of James Crambo’s Purpose-in-Life Test (PIL); Leonard Maholiсk’s Personal Readiness for Change Questionnaire (1993), and Methodology Completeness of Life. Statistical correlation was analyzed with the use of Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

Results. The theoretical analysis and empirical data revealed the correlation between the indicators of sense-of-life orientations and the indicators of personal readiness for change, script settings, perceptions of self, others and life. The results identify psychological barriers, and allocate directions of development of the technologies for optimization of journalists’ success in life.

Conclusions. The results of the study made it possible to distinguish priority values-goals and values-instruments, important in the construction of the architectonics of the axiological component of the journalists’ professional script. The correlation between indicators of journalists’ middle level life-sense orientations and indicators of personal change readiness empirically confirmed a claim that innovative readiness of journalists intensified the process of reaching success in life. Psychological barriers of the cognitive process were stated as script attitudes. The development of technologies for the psychological support of journalists was considered as a prospect for our future studies.
Visual Dignity in Art
Authors: Dorot Ruth
Published: June 2020

Aim. The aim of this article is to deal with visual dignity in  the field of  western art throughout the ages as it seeks to present the artistic and design devices employed by artists in order to compose and convey this aura of dignity. Moreover, it addresses the ways in which they create various kinds of atmosphere of respect and dignity felt by the observer regarding the topic and object of the painting or sculpture.

Methods. In order to achieve this aim, the article examines seven masterpieces  which explore the visual representations of various perceptions of dignity and their implications. Among the elements affecting the creation of dignity in the visual domain one finds: an impressive or majestic appearance, noblesse, self-esteem, pride, self-confidence, inner strength, authoritativeness and charisma. At times, the respectful treatment of the figures is clear as soon as one views the work, but at others it is implied in the interpretation given to it.

It is not this article's intention to discuss the different perceptions or expressions of human dignity, historically, theologically, politically, psychologically, nationally or socially, but to present them artistically as they are the innate right of people to be appreciated, treated with courtesy and met with ethical behavior.

Results and conclusion. The research done in order to reach a conclusion confirming or contradicting the premises at its base, resulted in a mosaic of situations in which human dignity is reflected. The range of possibilities at the artists’ disposal for creating this value is diverse and includes: composition, use of color, mimesis, embellishment, disfigurement or distortion of reality.

The pieces examined present: a military commander at the moment of his foe's surrender; an author monumentally impressive, man of vision and power and of grand dimensions, rising up from a stone plinth; a stern-faced, disfigured dwarf considered a ‘curiosity’, seated on the ground; a family of farmers living an impoverished and meager life; and a Jesus-like mysterious intellectual and Moses the prophet. All these together at first glance appear to be a strange collection of works, in which the common denominator is unclear or seemingly absent. However, this diverse group is included in the article because of the aura of dignity the figures command or convey. At times, the respectful treatment of the figures is clear as soon as one views the work, but at others it is implied in the interpretation given to it.
The pedagogy of shame. Education in the face of the demokratur of ignoramuses
Authors: Kobylarek Aleksander
Published: June 2020

This article relates to the slogan of one of the populist political parties in Poland – “the pedagogy of shame”. It is an example of manipulation and the creation of simulacra in social life in order to justify the necessity of assuming power. On accomplishing this,  the slogan becomes the primary principle in the management and rearing of a new society fed on illusions. The author points to the deeper roots of a pathologies which define corrupt power – indifference or acceptance of minor injustices, lack of civic engagement, insouciance with regard to the natural and social environments, the creation of unhealthy arrangements and relationships in small social groups and institutions, including educational – from the lowest level up to the university. In conclusion, the author indicates the necessity of supporting the development of civic society as understood by M. Gruntvig.
“Odd and Luna” – pedagogical fairy tale about otherness and being different
Authors: Sanecka Anna
Published: June 2020

Aim. The aim of the article is to present the pedagogical potential of the puppet performance “Odd and Luna” staged in Wroclaw Puppet Theatre. The performance is interpreted from the philosophy of dialogue’s point of view, focused mainly on the philosophy of Polish philosopher Józef Tischner.

Methods.The plot and the main theme of the performance – the otherness, loneliness and meeting the Other as a way of overcoming one’s own lack of self-confidence and fear of being different – are described and analysed. The contents of the performance are studied in order to find in its significant categories present in philosophy of dialogue: “the Other”, “the face”, “the meeting”, “the speech”/ “the word” and “the dialogue”

Results and conclusion. The article shows that such difficult subject as otherness on the one hand and being different on the other, can be shown and discussed within a stage performance as a relatively easy way of transferring to the children the values and demands of social life like openness to differences, openness to dialogue and relations, willingness of meeting Other and building one’s own identity and self-confidence. Mentioned above characteristics seem quite important in Polish increasingly diversifying society.
On an iterative method for solution of direct problem for nonlinear hyperbolic differential equations
Authors: Boykov Il’ya V. , Ryazantsev Vladimir A.
Published: June 2020

An iterative method for solution of Cauchy problem for one-dimensional nonlinear hyperbolic differential equation is proposed in this paper. The method is based on continuous method for solution of nonlinear operator equations. The keystone idea of the method consists in transition from the original problem to a nonlinear integral equation and its successive solution via construction of an auxiliary system of nonlinear differential equations that can be solved with the help of different numerical methods. The result is presented as a mesh function that consists of approximate values of the solution of stated problem and is constructed on a uniform mesh in a bounded domain of two-dimensional space. The advantages of the method are its simplicity and also its universality in the sense that the method can be applied for solving problems with a wide range of nonlinearities. Finally it should be mentioned that one of the important advantages of the proposed method is its stability to perturbations of initial data that is substantiated by methods for analysis of stability of solutions of systems of ordinary differential equations. Solving several model problems shows effectiveness of the proposed method.

Asymptotic study of heat and mass transfer in weakly twisted jets

Published: June 2020

Jet flows of liquids and gases are used in various fields of technology as means of controlling the processes of heat and mass transfer, for the intensification and stabilization of the combustion process, as means of protecting structures from exposure to thermal fields, for coating, etc. The jets of liquids and gases in technology are formed by sources-nozzles of finite sizes with various distributions of the initial outflow velocities in the outlet section of the nozzle, therefore, the calculation of the aerodynamic and thermal characteristics of jet flows is reduced to solving non-self-similar problems. However, one of the methods for solving such problems is the method of asymptotic expansion of velocities and pressure in series in a small parameter, when the first member of this series is a self-similar solution to the jet source problem. This article proposes an asymptotic expansion for axisymmetric weakly swirling flows in a model of a viscous incompressible medium, which leads to nonlinear «boundary layer» equations that differ from the well-known classical equations [1]–[4] for flows with finite swirl. Self-similar solutions of these equations are constructed that describe the distribution of speed, pressure, and temperature in a weakly swirling jet. The results presented in the article complement the results of [3]–[7] by calculating the thermal field in the jet.
