A amiloidose por transtirretina (ATTR) é uma doença associada ao acúmulo de depósito amiloide de fragmentos desta proteína, comumente associada a cardiomiopatia progressiva (CM-ATTR). A patisirana, um agente terapêutico de interferência no RNA, inibe a produção hepática da TTR. Métodos. Estudo randomizado, duplo-cego, de fase 3, que incluiu pacientes com CM-ATTR variante ou selvagem, numa razão 1:1, para receber patisirana (0,3 mg/kg) ou placebo uma vez a cada três semanas por 12 meses. O desfecho primário avaliou a diferença entre a distância percorrida no teste de caminhada de 6 minutos (TC6M) na triagem e após 12 meses. Os desfechos secundários foram, em ordem hierárquica, a mudança na pontuação do Questionário de Cardiomiopatia de Kansas City (KCCQ-OS) (com pontuações mais altas indicando melhor estado de saúde); um desfecho composto de morte por qualquer causa, eventos cardiovasculares e mudança na distância percorrida no TC6M inicial e após 12 meses; e um desfecho composto de morte por qualquer causa, hospitalizações por qualquer causa e consultas urgentes por insuficiência cardíaca (IC). Resultados. Foram randomizados 360 pacientes (181 receberam patisirana e 179 receberam placebo). O grupo patisirana demostrou menor redução na distância percorrida no TC6M que o grupo placebo (mediana 14,69 m; IC 95%, 0,69 a 28,69, p=0,02); a pontuação do KCCQ-OS aumentou no grupo patisirana e diminuiu no grupo placebo (p=0,04). Não foram observados benefícios significativos para o segundo desfecho secundário. Reações relacionadas à infusão, artralgia e espasmos musculares foram mais relatados no grupo patisirana. Conclusões. A administração de patisirana resultou na preservação da capacidade funcional na CM-ATTR

Published: April 2024

Abstract. In today’s world, we are witnessing the aggravation of new global problems of our time. This period is marked by the growth of crisis phenomena, which stimulate states of different levels of development to form integration groups. The main goal of these associations is to overcome barriers to the free movement of goods, capital and labor. The desire for integration becomes an integral part of the optimal model of involvement of the domestic economy in world processes and a necessary prerequisite for overcoming systemic crisis phenomena. Despite all efforts, widespread corruption in all sectors of the economy and spheres of public administration, a high level of the shadow economy create countless obstacles to the implementation of the necessary reforms. These problems significantly affect the investment attractiveness of Ukraine, which slows down the process and reduces the effectiveness of reforms, which often acquire only a formal character. In addition to the above, corruption today is part of the shadow economy, which poses a serious threat to the security of the entire country. Corruption and the shadow economy are a new serious challenge for modern Ukraine, because by casting a shadow on the country’s prospects for sustainable economic development, it devalues all attempts to develop successfully and freely. Today, the listed phenomena determine the economic landscape, violating the principles of effective management and undermining the foundations of economic security. Analysis of the impact of corruption and the shadow economy becomes a key aspect for understanding the current situation and developing strategies to overcome these challenges.

Authors: Bosko Natalia
Published: April 2024

Abstract. Interdisciplinary connections (interdisciplinarity) is a universal concept used by teachers of all specialties. The article presents a study of the essence of the concept of “interdisciplinary connections”, which we consider as a means of combining theoretical foundations and/or practical methods and techniques of various disciplines, with the aim of improving the quality of the educational process and their effective further use by students in the process of future professional activity. The specified term, as opposed to the term “integration”, must be used during the teaching of basic disciplines in the educational program of specialized secondary education, which include natural sciences. They are involved in the process of forming the professional competence of college students, through the use of the STEM approach to education. Its implementation in the process of training students of higher and professional pre-higher education during the period of martial law prepares them for future professional activity and labour protection in this field. It was also determined that issues needed to understand information about the war situation and ensuring a safe existence during the war, sustainable development of society, the role of modern assets in the field of science and technology, and providing equal access to employment in the STEM field require additional involvement.
MEDICAL STUDY OF SPEECH DISORDERS
Authors: Huseynova Naila
Published: April 2024

Abstract. Speech is one of the most important mental functions of a person. Speech communication not only creates social relations between people, but also develops higher forms of cognitive activity. Speech and thinking are inextricably linked. Speech is also a very complex phenomenon and is a set of several processes. Almost all systems of the body: muscles, bones, various and numerous organs, especially the central nervous system, take an active part in its formation. More serious damage to the muscles occurs as a result of damage to the parts of the peripheral parts of the nervous system that supply the muscles of the face, tongue, thorax with nerve seeds. Disruption of this causes severe speech disorders such as dysarthria and anarthria. In the study of speech disorders, it is necessary to consider the role of neural mechanisms that perform the activity and help to plan the activity.

The implementation of the results obtained will reduce lost profits of enterprises and chains based on them, reduce the time and cost of preparing and implementing management decisions, allow timely responding to the unique requirements of end users and/or services, as well as ensuring compliance of the parameters and characteristics of the internal environment of enterprises and chains based on them with the duration and volatility of environmental factors.
Results of a Market Study of Vehicle Repairs Covered by Compulsory Motor Third Party Liability Insurance
Authors: Tsyganov A. A.
Published: April 2024

In 2022 there emerged difficulties with supply of car spare parts, which, among other things, caused difficulties with repair of insured vehicles. At the end of 2022, the Department of Insurance and Social Economics of the Financial University, as part of the ongoing applied research work, conducted a market study of service stations and car repair shops, which helped to identify the main problems that have arisen and prospects for development of repair practices commissioned by insurance companies. The main hypothesis of the study was that due to a significant change in the timing of repairs, the attitude of car owners to the use of remanufactured and aftermarket spare parts has also changed, which necessitated a change in the operating practices of Russian service stations and car repair shops, as well as in their development strategy for the short and medium term.

The problematic issues identified during the study comprise: a change in attitude towards the use of remanufactured and aftermarket spare parts, an increase in repair time. The article gives a consumer assessment of the impact of these factors on the quality of repairs. The quality of recycled spare parts, if the replacement of the part does not affect the safe operation of the car, is assessed by most unauthorised services stations as acceptable. At the same time, car service customers are ready to downgrade the category of spare parts to speed up repairs or reduce the price of repairs. The decision is influenced by the age of the car and the likelihood of receiving a discount or a reduction in the repair time.

Published: April 2024

Achieving the goals of the sustainable development concept stimulates the use of multimodal systems and intermodal cargo delivery technologies in supply chains. The configuration of the network structure of supply chains in this case becomes more complex following the increase in the number of participants and the diversity of technical and technological parameters of transport systems. The authors have analysed the problems of using piggyback technology as part of supply chains.

The objective of this study is to establish a set of universal characteristics of piggyback systems that determine their sustainability in supply chains. The study used a systems approach to present piggyback technology as to a complex technical system, the main elements of which are intermodal transport units, railway rolling stock and terminals connected by the technology and organisation of piggyback transportation. A developed original system of criteria for choosing a piggyback system considers the current trend in development of transport systems and supply chains from the perspective of their sustainable development.

It is shown that the decision to use piggyback systems as part of sustainable supply chains must be made based on amulti-criteria assessment of the parameters of all elements and relationships within these systems. The system of criteria developed by the authors allows adequate evaluating piggyback systems, coordinate their engineering and technological parameters, and also justify decisions on unification of intermodal transport units.

Published: April 2024

The design and operation of transport structures (railways, roads, bridges) located on the seashores in the zone of possible erosion by waves requires particularly careful consideration of shoreline protection measures.

The article, using the example of a specific section of the Sambian Peninsula from Cape Taran to Cape Gvardeisky in Kaliningrad region, shows the problem of protecting a road running along the coast from wave action and suggests ways to solve it. The study describes results of laboratory studies on creation of a wavedamping sandy beach on the shores under conditions of material deficiency in the alongshore sediment flow.

The research was carried out using the method of physical modelling in a wave basin. The research has proved the fundamental possibility of creating a local stable sandy beach to protect transport structures from wave action under the conditions of material deficiency in the alongshore sediment flow.

The research results can be extended to other coastal sections of roads and railways.

Authors: Zbryskiy M. M.
Published: April 2024

Recently, reinforced soil retaining walls have been increasingly used for construction of abutment pile groups. But those two structures are designed separately from each other, often even by different organisations. The objective of this work was to determine the impact of construction of reinforced soil retaining walls on first-pier pile foundations. The main task was to determine the dependence of the height of the embankment on the growth of adverse effects, the influence of pile length, depth, a possibility to apply nonlinear models and types of installation.

Complex modelling in flat and spatial settings has shown the need to consider while designing pile foundations the negative impact of additional horizontal and vertical shifts, as well as of bending moments and longitudinal forces. The study recorded a factor of emergence of negative friction the mechanism of which requires separate study.

The main conclusion of the study related to the need to develop a comprehensive assessment of the impact of construction of reinforced soil retaining walls on pile foundations of abutments.

Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv Department of Musical Arts, BEN’ Halyna
Published: April 2024

The problem of professional training of the future music teacher in the lessons of voice production is considered and vocal and technical techniques are proposed, which are used by the author of the Sttudy in practical work with Students. Adhering to the vocal-pedagogical principles of Professor OStap Darchuk from the Lviv Vocal School, where the author received training, and utilizing his advice, the article emphasizes the significance of musical-vocal reading based on linguiStic support, on the “character of sound” in the resonance point, and in a specific rhythm and tempo. Such reading helps develop a clear, articulate diction in the singer – the future music teacher – promoting uniformity in voice production, good projection, and the agility of sound. In doing so, the aim is to Strive for the moSt complete conveyance of the meaning of each word and the overall content of the piece. Musicalvocal declamation is also employed – a technical approach to the vocal-creative pronunciation of words with all their grammatical and logical accents, expressing the emotions contained in them. The article emphasizes the importance of underStanding the role of breathing in voice production, maStering basic types of breathing exercises (speaking, reciting poems, delivering speeches, etc.). A series of exercises for “breathing gymnaStics” is proposed in the work. Therefore, summarizing the material presented above, it is worth noting that the main goal of this article is to highlight certain vocal-technical techniques that collectively form the methodology for developing the voice of future music teachers. Since the process of shaping the elements of pedagogical maStery in a music teacher occurs gradually and takes into account the individual approach to each Student, the techniques should be selected based on what can be moSt beneficial at each Stage of the Student’s education and upbringing. Therefore, the research focuses on revealing techniques that can be recommended for work at the initial Stage of building the vocal apparatus of the Student. The proposed techniques, as described by the article’s author, are widely applied in her pedagogical work in educating future music teachers.
THE FORMATION OF UKRAINIAN CREATIVE GROUPS IN STRYI AND THE STRYI REGION IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY: ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL DIMENSION

Published: April 2024

The article discusses the evolution of public concerts in Galicia during the 19th century, which were primarily of two types: commemorative events and entertainment concerts. Concert programs were diverse, featuring vocal and inStrumental performances, as well as recitations of poems and popular science lectures. An important mileStone in the development of concert life in WeStern Ukraine were the evenings dedicated to the memory of T. G. Shevchenko. These events Stimulated various forms of artiStic performance and their significance for the development of musical culture in WeStern Ukraine is immense. By the end of the 19th century, choirs began to be organized en masse in the towns and villages of Galicia, leading to the widespread popularity of secular choral performance and the need for a coordinating centre. The Lviv Boyan, a music and singing society, founded on February 22, 1891 in Lviv and its branches in other cities, served this purpose. All this created broad opportunities for the active development of the concert life throughout Galicia. In the formation of the musical culture of Stryi region in the 1920s and 1930s, choral performance played a special role, being a favourite sphere of artistic communication and organically combining the traditions of peasant song life, cult music, and concert choral practice. With the opening of branches of Prosvita and reading rooms at them, choral groups were formed in the villages. Summing up the above, we would like to emphasise once again that in the 20s and 30s of the twentieth century, musical art in Stryi and the region developed in two spheres: amateur and professional. It was significant that these areas complemented each other: amateur groups and performers sought to improve their performing skills, while professionals were always open to dialogue with listeners and assistance to amateur musicians. ConStant contacts with the capital of Galicia, Lviv, injected new forces for innovation and forward movement, and performances on the provincial Stage by world-famous Ukrainian performers Solomiia Krushelnytska, Oleksandr Myshuha, and ModeSt Mentsynskyi teStified to the higheSt artiStic Standards.

Based on the use of the activity approach in humanitarian Studies, the methodic foundations of the formation of the didactic concept-terminological syStem “socio-cultural activity” were formulated and subStantiated. The classification of the main concepts of the proposed terminological syStem was carried out, in particular, the basic and derived concepts were highlighted. Based on the terminological analysis of scientific sources, author’s definitions of main concepts such as: person, activity, behavior, society, space are proposed. Based on the principles of terminological work, basic concepts are expanded into derived concepts of the proposed didactic syStem, such as: human activity, social activity, cultural activity, sociocultural activity, sociocultural space, sociocultural sphere, sociocultural syStem, sociocultural complex, sociocultural cluSter, sociocultural induStry, etc. The author’s vision of Structuring spheres of socio-cultural activity based on the selection of their types and forms is proposed. The components of the socio-cultural space at different taxonomic levels from global to local, as well as at the level of cooperation of various taxonomic subjects are subStantiated. Basic and related spheres of socio-cultural activity are identified and Structured by species, and their subject components at the macro-, meso-, micro- and nano-levels of socio-cultural analysis are determined. We can State that the didactic concept-terminological syStem “socio-cultural activity” is based on the categories: person, activity, society, space and is described through the concretization of such general scientific concepts as: space – a syStem of relations and connections; sphere – a set (plurality) of constituent components diStinguished by various characteriStics; syStem – a combination of elements and their connections; a complex is a system with a high density of connections. In the future, the proposed syStem can be used for the preparation of educational and methodological publications, in particular, as the basic conception of the educational manual “Socio-cultural activity”, as well as for the formation of terminological and reference publications and the creation of electronic training courses on the MOODLE platform, in particular, the filling of their components such as “Keywords” and “Glossary”.

Published: April 2024

El zorro de monte, Cerdocyon thoux (Linneaus) es el cánido de distribución más amplia en América del Sur. La Provincia de Santa Fe representa el límite austral de distribución de esta especie y es escasa la información disponible sobre su biología en esta área. A fin de tener una primera aproximación de su ecología trófica, se analizó la dieta del zorro de monte en la zona de humedales del Río Paraná. Entre diciembre de 1999 y mayo de 2000 se recolectaron 85 heces en el arroyo El Potrero, Santa Fe. Se identificaron 20 componentes alimentarios en la dieta. La rata colorada (Holochilux sp.) fue el ítem más consumido (89,41 %) en el área de estudio, aunque también fueron importantes algunos grupos de insectos como los Coleópteros. La baja amplitud del nicho trófico calculado para este carnívoro indica una dieta dominada por pocas presas en altas proporciones. Aunque el zorro de monte tuvo cualitativamente una dieta generalista en Santa Fe, cuantitativamente esta dieta fue especializada ya que sólo Holochilux sp., Dyxcinetux sp. y Cyclocephala sp. representan el 70 % de ocurrencias de las presas. En este estudio se considera a C. thoux un depredador oportunista, debido probablemente al aprovechamiento de un recurso abundante, pero temporal.

The synthesis technologies of amino-formaldehyde resins of grades KF-MT-NP and AFK-10 obtained using the peptization method are considered, as a result of that it is possible to completely eliminate vacuum drying. It makes possible to achieve an ecological process of obtaining synthetic resins. A modifying additive (NP) was used as a peptizer, which is an inorganic polymer capable of effectively binding free formaldehyde in the resin, as well as stabilizing the properties of the resin, prolonging its viability up to 6—7 months.

Published: April 2024

Background: Much of the existing animal literature on the devaluation task suggests that prior repeated exposure to drugs of abuse during adulthood can impair goal-directed action, but the literature on human drug users is mixed. Also, the initiation of drug use often occurs during adolescence, but examinations of the effects of drug exposure during adolescence on behavior in the devaluation task are lacking. Methods: We examined whether repeated exposure during adolescence to amphetamine (3 mg/kg injections every-other day from post-natal day 27–45) or ketamine (twice daily 30 mg/kg injections from post-natal day 35–44) would impair behavior in a devaluation test when tested drug-free in adulthood. Rats were trained to press a left lever with a steady cue-light above it for one reinforcer and a right lever with a flashing cue-light above it for a different reinforcer. We tested whether any impairments in goal-directed action could be overcome by compensation between strategies by giving rats information based on lever-location and cue-lights during the test that was either congruent (allowing compensation) or incongruent (preventing compensation between strategies) with the configurations during training. Results: Our results provided no evidence for impairment of goal-directed action during adulthood after adolescent amphetamine or ketamine exposure. Conclusions: We discuss possible reasons for this discrepancy with the prior literature, including (1) the age of exposure and (2) the pattern in the previous literature that most previous demonstrations of drug exposure impairing devaluation in laboratory animals may be attributed to either drug-associated cues present in the testing environment and/or accelerated habit learning in tasks that predispose laboratory animals towards habit formation with extended training (with training procedures that should resist the formation of habits in the current experiment). However, additional research is needed to examine the effects of these factors, as well a potential role for the particular doses and washout periods to determine the cause of our finding of no devaluation impairment after drug exposure.
Conceptual framework for the development of ESG theory in relation to Russian business

Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the conceptual provisions of ESG theory, their interrelation and interdependence with the theoretical provisions of institutional theory, management theory, theories of responsible investment, etc. It is noted that ESG principles represent a preliminary phase of energy transition provision, on the one hand, and on the other hand - socialization of economic subjects’ activity in the conditions of unregulated economic globalization of the last decade. It is underlined that for the Russian entrepreneurship socialization represents a historically successive element having roots in the 19th century and the Soviet period of economy.
The Ural Republic of 1993 in the memoirs of its creators and contemporaries of events
Authors: Kamynin Vladimir , Khramtsov Alexander
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the key events of the creation and liquidation of the Ural Republic in 1993. Specialists from various branches of scientific knowledge turn to the study of the history of the Ural Republic: political scientists, legal scholars, historians, philologists, cultural scientists, etc. Various points of view are expressed in the literature on many issues related to the history of the movement for the Ural Republic and its creation. In our opinion, many discussion issues can be resolved using documents of personal origin, which are far from being fully introduced into scientific circulation.

Emotion Regulation mediates the association between Hypermentalizing and Interpersonal Difficulties in Young People
Authors: Sotomayor-Enriquez Koraima , Di Folco Simona , Schwannauer Matthias
Published: April 2024

Mentalization is a dynamic capacity of reflective functioning that helps us understand mental states in interpersonal settings (Bateman & Fonagy, 2019). Although there is consistent evidence of the association between mentalization and mental health difficulties during adolescence (Bateman & Fonagy, 2019; Borelli et al., 2017; Chevalier et al., 2021; Wiwe & Vrouva, 2021), less is known about mentalization impact on interpersonal difficulties. Evi- dence also suggests that mentalization is associated with emotion regulation capacity (Fisher, 2011; Ghiasi et al., 2016; Locati et al., 2022; Vahidi et al., 2021). The present study explores the mediating role of emotion regulation in the association between mentalization, measured as reflective functioning, and interpersonal problems. For this purpose, we conducted anal- yses using structural equation modelling in a dataset (n = 299) from a cross-sectional study involving adolescents aged 12 to 15 (mean age 13.33, SD = 1.10). Of the participants, 151 were boys, 146 were girls, and 2 identified as non-binary. All were from Edinburgh, Scotland, and completed surveys between April and June 2019. Results from the study suggest that affective-driven emotion regulation strategies mediate the association between mentalization and interpersonal problems associated with socially avoidant behaviours. Our findings sug- gest that implementation of affective-driven emotional regulation strategies might contribute to unbalanced mentalization, such as hypermentalizing, which could heighten its impact on interpersonal difficulties during adolescence.
The unfathomable richness of seeing
Authors: Haun Andrew , Tononi Giulio
Published: April 2024

Most experts hold that visual experience is remarkably sparse and its apparent richness is illusory. Indeed, we fail to notice the vast majority of what we think we see, and seem to rely instead on a high-level summary of a visual scene. However, we argue here that seeing is much more than noticing, and is in fact unfathomably rich. We distinguish among three levels of visual phenomenology: a high-level description of a scene based on the categorization of “objects,” an intermediate level composed of “groupings” of simple visual features such as colors, and a base-level visual field composed of “spots” and their spatial relations. We illustrate that it is impossible to see the objects that underlie a high-level description without seeing the groupings that compose them, and we cannot see the groupings without seeing the visual field to which they are bound. We then argue that the way the visual field feels—its spatial extendedness—can only be accounted for by a phenomenal structure composed of innumerable distinctions and relations. It follows that most of what we see has no functional counterpart—it cannot be used, reported, or remembered. And yet we see it.
SEMbeddings: how to evaluate model misfit before data collection using large-language models
Authors: Feraco Tommaso , Toffalini Enrico
Published: April 2024

Recent developments suggest that Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a viable approach to approximate empirical correlation matrices of item responses through the utilization of item embeddings and their cosine similarities. In this paper, we introduce a novel tool, that we label SEMbeddings, which integrates prior findings with the application of latent measurement models to assess model fit or misfit prior to data collection. To support our statement, we use the 96 items of the VIA-IS-P which measures 24 different character strengths and responses from 31,697 participants to those items. Our analysis reveals a significant correlation (r = .56) between cosine similarities of embeddings and empirical correlations among items. Moreover, we demonstrate the feasibility of fitting confirmatory factor analyses on cosine similarity matrices and interpreting their outcomes using modification indices: We found consistency of the results obtained with SEMbeddings procedures and classical procedures on empirical data. While not always identical, these results suggest that SEMbeddings could serve as a screening tool to inspect model fit and to make informed decisions about items before data collection. With the increasing precision of LLMs, these procedures will produce increasingly reliable results, potentially transforming the way we develop new questionnaires.
