Eficacia de la musicoterapia en un caso de duelo patológico
Authors: Sotelo Martín José Alberto , Gamella González David , Fernández Cahill María
Published: December 2022

Los efectos positivos de la musicoterapia en la ansiedad y depresión han sido ampliamente estudiados. No obstante, los estudios de caso único con pacientes con sintomatología ansioso-depresiva en los que se emplean técnicas de percusión corporal son menos habituales. Desde esta perspectiva, el objetivo principal de este estudio es el de aportar evidencias clínicas sobre el uso específico de técnicas de percusión corporal incluidas en el tratamiento de un paciente afectado de duelo patológico cronificado con síntomas de ansiedad y depresión. Se analizaron los resultados obtenidos a través de herramientas psicométricas validadas Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (ansiedad) e Inventario de Depresión de Beck (depresión), de los niveles de frecuencia cardiaca y del registro de momentos de aflicción e imágenes disfuncionales recurrentes evaluados mediante la elaboración ad hoc de medidas de autorregistro. Entre los resultados alcanzados, cabe reseñar una disminución de niveles de ansiedad, depresión, imágenes disfuncionales, frecuencia cardiaca, momentos de aflicción y aumento significativo del nivel de activación conductual que confirman las hipótesis formuladas. En definitiva, se concluye que la musicoterapia es una herramienta eficaz, sencilla y fácil de utilizar y que la inclusión de técnicas de percusión corporal en procesos de musicoterapia puede facilitar el procesamiento emocional disfuncional de pacientes con sintomatología ansioso-depresiva.

Authors: Quispe-Juli Cender U. , Aragón-Ayala Carlos Jesús
Published: December 2022

Dear Editor,
Digital health applications have demonstrated benefits in several healthcare outcomes therefore it has become a serious alternative to getting Sustainable Development Goals 2030 related to health (1). In recent years, Latin America is creating policies and strategies for digital health. Peru is one of the earliest countries in Latin America that establish policies for eHealth and digital health but its implementation in the real world is limited (2). It is well known that some medical schools have courses related to informatics, Health Informatics (HI), or even medical informatics but there is no evidence about how many of peruvian medical schools teach HI within their curricula or what content or topics are provided.
En busca de la visión del colibrí. La expansión del rol de la mujer en el chamanismo ashaninka
Authors: Rojas Zolezzi Enrique
Published: December 2022

El chamanismo amazónico ha sido considerado hasta muy recientemente en el registro etnográfico un rol reservado al género masculino, siendo considerados los tabúes ligados a un factor biológico, la sangre menstrual, un factor limitante al ejercicio por las mujeres de este oficio. El chamanismo ashaninka está fuertemente comprometido no sólo a la preservación de la salud de las personas sino al de los recursos explotados por estos horticultores-cazadores-recolectores. En un contexto en que ellos se ven enfrentados a la paulatina desaparición del chamanismo masculino por persecución religiosa y política y la escasez de los recursos debido a la sedentarización, la destrucción del bosque por la industria maderera y la colonización, la ganadería y la contaminación de las aguas por las actividades del narcotráfico, los tabúes son levantados, cambios son hechos en el ritual y surge un chamanismo femenino para que el sistema siga reproduciéndose
La etimología toponímica de la palabra Titicaca
Authors: Quispe Ilasaca Raul Valentin , Quispe Huaynacho Gabriela Erika , Hinojosa Ccama Denis Royer
Published: December 2022

Existen diversas traducciones arbitrarias en torno a la palabra Titicaca, motivo por el cual su búsqueda generaba desconcierto en razón a su partida desde el quechua o el aimara. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar y explicar lingüísticamente el significado de la palabra Titicaca. Metodológicamente, el estudio es de carácter explicativo, el cual se sustenta en la revisión de fuentes lingüísticas y etnohistóricas (crónicas), que permiten compararlas con fuentes etnográficas a partir de estudios y procedimientos de decodificación de topónimos desarrollados por Cerrón-Palomino (2013, 2020, 2021). El artículo concluye que la palabra Titicaca presenta una filiación puquina y quechua, como advierten las indagaciones contemporáneas; por ende, se afirma que titiqaqa significa ‘peñón del sol’. De este modo, se descartan los postulados anteriores sobre su significado. Asimismo, según los datos arqueológicos y etnohistóricos, la importancia de la isla del sol influyó en que el lago de los puquinas adquiera el nombre de la gran divinidad que existe en ella.
Predicados no nucleares en mazahua (otomangue)
Authors: Mora-Bustos Armando
Published: December 2022

En la presente investigación se describen los predicados no nucleares que modifican al núcleo de la cláusula matriz, la cláusula o sus constituyentes. Los predicados no nucleares muestran propiedades gramaticales propias. Para explicitar se exponen datos de la lengua mazahua para advertir de que no se trata de construcciones complejas, sino simplemente de modificadores, considerando que la lengua presenta como núcleo del predicado a cualquier categoría gramatical. A partir del conjunto de cláusulas no nucleares, se propone que puedan realizarse como coverbos, operadores, predicados adverbiales de propiedad, predicados adverbiales temporales y predicados de dirección yuxtapuestos. La investigación concluye que los predicados no nucleares se encuentran neutralizados en persona y tiempo, carecen de estructura argumental, no disponen de modificadores internos, pertenecen a una clase cerrada, adquieren posiciones específicas, mantienen una relación de yuxtaposición y realizan modificaciones similares al adverbio. Al respecto, la modificación debe ser entendida en términos sintácticos y semánticos, esto es, una relación de dependencia estructural entre un núcleo y las unidades que se encuentran bajo un estatus de dependencia, dominio o subordinación; mientras que semánticamente, restringen y explicitan la referencia de la unidad gramatical modificada, así como los rasgos que denotan propiedades específicas de lo modificado.
Towards a review of the legal language in court sentences
Authors: Mendes Batista Gisele , Freitag Raquel
Published: December 2022

Based on the assumption that law has as its foundation of validation the people themselves, and aligned with the plain language movement, this paper initially discusses the role of technical language in the scope of the community of legal practices and the effects of its extrapolation to civil society. It also discusses the social implications of the exacerbation of the use of area jargon in legal language, as well as analyzes mechanisms that monopolize and democratize this access to legal content. Finally, an experimental study is carried out to measure civil society's perception of legal language, identifying points that may contribute to its democratization. The investigation concludes that the simplification of the language, without de-characterizing the legal technique, contributes to the understanding of legal content, which signals the importance of training actions in the area of simple language aimed at the law.

Authors: Rondan Pumachagua Lu-Bell , Rojas Vargas Sheyla , Cruz-Manrique Yeni R. , Malvaceda-Espinoza Eli L.
Published: December 2022

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las percepciones en torno a la Violencia Íntima de Pareja (VIP), en parejas lesbianas, gais y bisexuales (LGB) de Lima metropolitana. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo, con diseño de análisis temático reflexivo, en el cual se entrevistó a 17 personas LGB, que hayan tenido al menos una relación homosexual en el último año. El análisis se realizó con el soporte del software ATLAS.ti 22. Los resultados evidencian por un lado, la inseguridad emocional expresada en los temores, que generan los celos que conducen a situaciones de desconfianza y a conductas de control, produciendo sensaciones de soledad en la víctima. En paralelo a lo anterior, dicha inseguridad también genera una dependencia hacia la pareja, la cual puede conducir a situaciones de violencia. La otra percepción en torno a esta violencia es la justificación de la violencia, la cual comprende argumentos minimizadores y negacionistas de la VIP, los cuales la terminan normalizando. Se concluye que las percepciones encontradas afirman los predictores no específicos de la VIP e incorporan nuevos elementos causales, tales como los argumentos minimizadores y negacionistas de la VIP.

Authors: Benayew Mengistu
Published: December 2022

Objective: This study assessed nurses’ pressure injury prevention practices, barriers and associated Factors at Northern Oromia Hospitals in Ethiopia 2019. Background: Pressure injuries occur in patients both in acute and chronic care settings and place a considerable burden on patients, caregivers, and the health-care system. Pressure injuries are one of the most costly and physically incapacitating problems, contributing to disability and death by prolonging the time of illness, recovery, and hospitalization. Methods: Hospital based cross-sectional study was done among 215 nurses in North Shewa Zone Hospitals in Oromia Region, Ethiopia from January 1, 2019 to February 30, 2019. Epi data version 3.1 was used to enter data, which was then exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Significant determinants for nurses' pressure injury prevention practice were identified using bivariable and multivariable logistic regression. Results: 215 nurses, out of 230 study participants were responded to the questionnaires making 93.5% response rate. The magnitude of nurses’ pressure injury prevention practice was found to be 43.7% and level of education, AOR 2.075 (95% CI, 1.143-3.765), knowledge, AOR 2.484 (95% CI, 1.303-4.737), training, AOR 2.498 (95% CI, 1.342-4.648), Nurses to patients ratio, AOR 2.306 (95% CI, 1.242-4.281), work experience AOR 1.842 (1.00-3.394) and satisfaction with nursing leadership, AOR 2.395 (95% CL, 1.259-4.554) were determinants of pressure injury prevention practice. Lack of institutional policy and presences of other priorities other than pressure injury were the common barriers for implementing pressure injury prevention practice. Conclusions: In this study the majority of nurses had poor practice towards pressure injury prevention. Education, knowledge, training, Nurses to patients ratio, work experience and satisfaction with nursing leadership were factors affecting pressure injury prevention practice of nurses. Recommendations: Implementing strategies that improve pressure injury knowledge, providing on job training, increased educational levels, allocating appropriate nurse-to-patient ratios and encouraging nursing leadership help to improve nurses’ pressure injury prevention practice.

Responding to new Imageries in African indigenous Spiritualties
Authors: Nweke Kizito Chinedu
Published: December 2022

As a result of rash and incorrect assumptions, African spiritualities have been adulterated, bastardized, and multiplied. Academic studies in African spiritualities "were mostly conducted by Europeans and Americans who were extremely biased and primarily focused their scholarship on comparing African religion with Christianity and Islam. I will approach the new images of African spiritualities from two perspectives: the conflict between religion and spirituality, and the demonization of African spiritualities. The goal of this study is to present a new picture of African spirituality from two perspectives: the tension between religion and spirituality, and the demonization of African spirituality. The study's findings indicate that there is a complicated phenomenon that disfigures African spirituality. In both indigenous spirituality in Africa, and in spirituality created by Africans in the diaspora, the problem of portraying demonic African styles and perspectives in expressing mundane and non-mundane realities seems accepted. There are three aspects in analyzing this: historical-racial, media-social, and ideological. These aspects cross over on the point of African religion versus spiritualities.
Seeing Afar
Authors: Forman Jed
Published: December 2022

“Piercing gazes” or “penetrative stares” are common idioms in English. Yet, on reflection, these phrases oddly suggest an extramissive, projective connotation of vision, countering our learned understanding that sight passively receives light. Nevertheless, these projective connotations are highly intuitive. Exploring Indian debates on yogic perception through a cognitive science lens, this paper argues that extramissive theories of sight constitute our most basic intuitive understanding of vision. Yogis are said to have extra powerful extramissive visual rays that allow them not only to apprehend distant objects but penetrate spiritual truths. Buddhists, by contrast, reject that the senses are extramissive. Still, they retain extramissive connotations when they explain yogic perception as a type of mental—rather than sensorial—feat. The explicit Buddhist rejection of extramission alongside their implicit retention of extramissive metaphors corroborates the thesis that extramission was highly intuitive within an ancient Indic milieu. Indeed, it likely constitutes a pan-human intuition.

An ossuary was found in a brass sarcophagus, dated to 1720 based on a medallion. The archaeological material was mixed with rubbish and sand. Inside the sarcophagus, the remains of both adults and children were discovered. These are believed to be members of the von Kottwitz family, former owners of Konotop. The separation of the material into different types of cloth was quite painstaking and lengthy. Only one of the grave robes has survived in an almost intact condition. It was a simple grave robe without a back. During the analysis of the skeletal remains, it was matched to the red stained skeleton of an infant.
True or False – Difficulties in Interpreting the Funeral Dress from the Burial of the “Bride” in the Szczuczyn Crypt, Poland
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, Dobek Mikołaj
Published: December 2022

Funeral costumes are elements of funerary furnishings with very different characteristics. Their form has not only been influenced by local funeral customs but also by the property status of the families of the deceased and the fashion trends prevailing in a given region. The study of funerary clothing clearly translates into the general development of knowledge about the evolution of fashion, and thus the issue is no longer only the domain of costume specialists, but also archaeology. This is clearly discernible on the example of the results of archaeological research conducted in the crypts of the Church of St. Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary – over 100 burials turned out to be hiding the largest archaeological collection of modern funerary clothing from the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Against the background of these costumes, the clothes in which the woman placed in burial no. 8 (EA crypt) stands out. Her attire took an exceptionally impressive form, as evidenced by the fact that this tomb aroused the interest of the local population long before archaeologists arrived in Szczuczyn. According to the stories of the locals, she was buried in a wedding dress. As a result of the verification carried out both on the stand and as a result of laboratory analyses, it was determined whether this theory can be confirmed with the use of scientific methods. The analyses, apart from referring to the theory of stories told by local history enthusiasts, turned out to contribute a lot to the current state of knowledge on the development of 18th-century women’s fashion.

Objective: The paper shows the scope and paths of real earnings management (REM) in industrial enterprises listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and located in diversified phases of the organisational life cycle.Research Design & Methods: Analytical formulas created by S. Roychowdhury were used to estimate the scale of real net profit (and loss) management. The phases of an organisation’s life cycle were distinguished using V. Dickinson’s assumptions. The research also employed non-parametric tests: Kruskal-Wallis or Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon.Findings: Companies’ REM practices were noted to intensify particularly during introduction and decline phases. Such practices include overproduction, the manipulation of sales volumes, relaxed receivables management policy, and extraordinary price discounts.Implications / Recommendations: The level and nature of REM practices differ statistically according to the phase of the life cycle in which the enterprise is located.Contribution: The research contributes to the further search for factors that determine REM on the Polish capital market.
Dylematy ujęcia ujemnej wartości godziwej aktywów netto zorganizowanej części przedsiębiorstwa przy połączeniu jednostek według polskich przepisów rachunkowości
Authors: Wędzki Dariusz
Published: December 2022

Objective: The Polish Accounting Act and other Polish GAAP does not define business as a business combination. This act enables the use of International Financial Reporting Standards but National Accounting Standard no. 4 provides some concepts that can be applied to define what a business is. The first aim of this paper is to apply this standard to precisely explain the term “business” in sense of Polish GAAP. Because of fair value assessment of the business in combination, such a business can have a negative income value, resulting in a negative fair value of net assets. The second aim of the article is to characterise Polish GAAP in the context of zero value of the acquiree’s assets at initial recognition.Research Design & Methods: The legal acts of Polish GAAP were read and analysed.Findings: On the basis of NAS 4, a business can be defined as combined assets with liabilities and reserves if they are assigned to assets and generate economic benefits as net cash flows from operating activities. The article further shows that Polish GAAP does not include the possibility of recognising negative fair value of business net assets even if the restructuring the assets should be revaluated. In Polish GAAP, the impairment of initial value of net assets and, at most, reverse of the impairment loss is assumed.Implications / Recommendations: For the proper accounting allocation of a business combination, the Polish Accounting Act must be completed. This would include providing a definition of the business as recognition method of negative fair value of net assets, resulting from the negative income value of those assets.Contribution: The paper contributes to Polish accounting some concepts of business on the basis of NAS 4. It also shows contradictions in the measuring of fair value of business that is valued at negative income in business combination.

Published: December 2022

Gold spherical nanoparticles, gold-platinum nanoflowers, and gold-silver nanostars were obtained and compared as labels for immunochromatographic analysis. The nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction from various precursors and then conjugated with staphylococcal protein A to be used in indirect immunochromatographic determination of nonylphenol. The results obtained were evaluated in terms of analytical characteristics and R2 value, as well as the color intensity of the test band. According to the comparison results, it was revealed that the R2 value varied from 0.82 for the gold-silver nanostars to 0.96 for the spherical gold nanoparticles. The working range of determined concentrations was from 2 to 100 μg/mL for unspherical and from 2 to 50 μg/mL – for spherical markers used; the analysis time was 20 min.

Published: December 2022

Solar energy harnessing devices exhibit promising potential for providing a significant portion of the energy requirement. Among these devices, the solar parabolic trough collector (PTC) is a well-renowned and effective technology. In recent times, a great deal of research has been done further improving the thermal performance of PTC systems. The current numerical study investigates the effect of modifications to the geometry of the absorber tube and the effect of nanoparticles on the thermal performance of PTC. A corrugated tube (CT), sinusoidal corrugated tube (SCT), the corrugated tube having a cylindrical insert (CI), star insert (SI), and increasing diameter rod insert (IDRI) are used to modify the geometry of the absorber tube. The corrugated tube is also analyzed with water-Al2O3 and water-TiO2 nanofluids at volume concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6%. The results showed that the sinusoidal corrugated tube produced the best results with a value of Nusselt number (Nu) being 15.2% greater than simple corrugated absorber tube without incurring any significant increase in pressure. Moreover, the performance evaluation criterion (PEC) value is also found to be greater than that of simple corrugated geometry. The use of nanofluids as the heat-transfer fluid (HTF) led to an overall enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient h by as much as 20%.

Published: December 2022

Justificativa e Objetivos: A desnutrição é frequente em idosos hospitalizados, favorecendo deficiências nutricionais, como a anemia. Diversos estudos associaram a anemia com a redução do desempenho nas atividades diárias, podendo aumentar a morbidade e mortalidade. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a relação entre anemia e estado nutricional de idosos hospitalizados. Métodos: Estudo transversal com idosos hospitalizados. A anemia foi investigada através da hemoglobina. As variáveis desfecho foram a anemia e a hemoglobina; e as variáveis de exposição foram: gênero, faixa etária, cor da pele, situação conjugal, escolaridade e estado nutricional. As variáveis foram descritas em frequência absoluta e relativa. Para análise estatística, utilizou-se os Testes Qui-quadrado e Anova. Resultados: Foram avaliados 272 idosos hospitalizados, nos quais a prevalência de anemia foi de 65,1%. Verificou-se associação dessa condição com a faixa etária, desnutrição e massa muscular diminuída. Os níveis de hemoglobina diminuíram conforme a piora do estado nutricional, sendo que os desnutridos tiveram a menor média. Conclusão: A anemia foi associada com o estado nutricional pelos instrumentos avaliados, também se observou a redução dos níveis de hemoglobina conforme a piora do estado nutricional. Portanto, a compreensão dos fatores associados à anemia é necessária, sendo fundamental que os profissionais de saúde investiguem a história clínica do idoso anêmico em busca de sua causa básica.

Published: December 2022

Justificativa e objetivos: foi investigada a existência de uma sobreposição geográfica histórica entre a localização dos casos de riquetsiose humana do grupo da febre maculosa, um grupo de doenças causadas pela bactéria Gram-negativa Rickettsia sp., e dos reservatórios mamíferos, especificamente cavalos domésticos e capivaras, no perímetro urbano do município de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Métodos: foram geolocalizados os casos de riquetsiose humana ocorridos durante um período de 17 anos (2003-2020), sendo avaliada a distribuição dos casos no tempo e espaço geográfico através de indicadores de associação geoespacial de 1a e 2a ordem. Também analisamos a superposição dos locais dos casos de riquetsiose humana com a área de ocorrência de cavalos domésticos e capivaras. Resultados: homens foram diagnosticados mais frequentemente que as mulheres, mas grande proporção das mulheres acometidas faleceu. Os resultados indicam uma agregação dos casos de riquetsiose humana no tempo (os casos tendem a ocorrer próximos entre si a cada evento epidêmico) e no espaço geográfico (os casos se concentram em uma região geográfica específica do perímetro urbano). Os casos humanos aparentam ser mais associados às regiões da cidade com: i) maior frequência local de cavalos domésticos e não das capivaras; ii) menores índices de desenvolvimento familiar. Conclusão: sugere-se que, no cenário epidemiológico local, são os cavalos domésticos que aparentam ser as principais fontes da riquétsia infectando os humanos, não as capivaras.

The purpose of the study is a psychosemantic analysis of the image of a gifted personality based on implicit representations of students of various specialties and uni-versities. The sample consisted of 229 respondents: 88 people of humanitarian specialties, 141 technical ones. The age of the sample participants ranged from 17 to 22 years. The sample was equal in gender composi-tion.The methodological basis was the concept of the study of the hierarchical structure of the image of a per-son in the consciousness of an individual and a group, proposed by V.L. Sitnikov. The study showed that stu-dents ideas about a gifted personality are similar and lack scientificity. The basis of the structure and content of the image of a gifted personality among students of humanities and technical fields of various universities of St. Petersburg are the characteristics of the intellectual sphere of the individual. The most unpopular were the acquisitive characteristics describing the peculiarities of the attitude to material values. Social characteristics were in second place in terms of frequency of occurrence. Comparative analysis has shown that social charac-teristics are more important for humanities students. They also use bodily, physical and emotional characteris-tics more often. For this group of students, it is characteristic to indicate the negative qualities of a gifted per-son. In the group of students of the technical direction, when describing a gifted personality, names and quali-ties of activity are more often used. Psychosemantic analysis of the implicit concept of a gifted personality of modern students has shown that the image of a gifted person is associated with the profile of professional train-ing of students. Students of technical specialties tend to describe a gifted personality to a large extent through its implementation in activities and through specific categories. Humanities students, perhaps due to their pro-fessional preferences, distinguish social characteristics. In general, among the most common words describing a gifted personality, students of different fields of study did not reveal fundamental differences in the hierarchy of definitions of a gifted personality.
RADICALIZATION OF THE PROBLEM OF EPISTEMOLOGICAL RELATIVISM (ARGUMENT «FOR»)

The author of the article shows the difficulties in defining the problem of relativism, which expresses itself through the willingness declared by its supporters to abandon the question of truth. Since such readiness is un-precedented in the history of philosophy, the recognition of its solidness implies profound changes in the founda-tions of Western philosophy. An example of such changes can be the change in the ratio of absolute and relative, implied by the very literal meaning of the concept of «relativism», when the latter remains by itself. On the one hand, the doubt about the possibility of such a change strengthens the position of the opponents of relativism, who insist that there can be no relative without connection with the absolute. But on the other hand, in modern philos-ophy, a change in the status of the absolute is already being discussed, as a result of which it can no longer per-form its former functions in cognition. Thus, what appears to be an «in-demand» idea in the speculative realism of K. Meyasu and the constructive realism of E. Agazzi is the idea about a potentially infinite reality as non-actualized transfinite, which is the result of a rethinking by modern philosophy of previous ideas about the abso-lute. The author of the article shows that such a change in the status of the absolute is precisely due to the changes in the possibilities of cognition noted by relativism, when some of them are lost (the possibility of speaking about truth in cognition), and others arise (the possibility of statements assumed by relativism that exclude each other according to the law of non-contradiction). The author shows that the possibility of radicalization of the problem of epistemological relativism associated with potential infinity is assumed even by those approaches (relationism), on the basis of which, on the contrary, philosophers seek to smooth out the problem or exclude it altogether, but which turn out to be even more vulnerable. In conclusion, the author points out the prospects of modern episte-mology associated with the anthropic cosmological principle.

The timeliness of the present study is explained, first, by the new challenges the authorities face during the COVID-19 pandemic, and by the growing popularity of social networks as a platform for political communication. The purpose of the presented research is to study the legitimation strategies and the strategies for maintaining the image in the blogs of regional leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodological basis of the study constitutes the classification of strategies and tactics of speech behavior by O.N. Parshina (2005), as well as the classification of legitimation strategies by T. Van Leeuwen (2008). Along with qualitative content analysis, the authors employed correlation analysis of data. The results of the study reveal that image maintenance strategies are an integral part of the discourse of legitimation. The highest correlation was found between the strategy of forming the emotional state of the addressee (the strategy of maintaining the image) and the strategies of moral assessment and appeal to authority (the strategy of legitimation). In addition, there were no statistically significant deviations in the use of strategies and tactics in the discourse of the governors participating in the study, which probably allows us to speak of a certain emerging trend in Russian political discourse amid the pandemic.

The paper formulates such requirements for the geometric model of meteorological formations as the number of model points, the Doppler spectra of simulated reflections, probabilistic characteristics of the generated angular noises and their autocorrelation function. The methods of its synthesis as the basis for the next simulation are also substantiated. A mathematical apparatus has been developed for the synthesis of partially coherent models based on incoherent models equivalent to them, providing the required values of the probability distribution density parameters and spectral-correlation characteristics of angular noises. The synthesis of a four-point partially coherent model of meteorological formation is considered as an example of practical application of the theoretical results obtained. The monograph may be of interest to a wide range of scientific and engineering workers specializing in the fields of radar, radar measurements, simulation and semirealistic simulation. It can also be useful to teachers, as well as to graduate and postgraduate students majoring in the fields.

Classical mechanics of deformable bodies is based on the continuity hypothesis. However, many structural elements are made of porous materials. Porous natural materials (soil, rocks) have invariable porosity. Porous synthetic materials (ceramics, concrete, graphite, and pressed powder metals) have controlled porosity. To calculate the strength and hardness of the structure, the material is assumed to be conditionally continuous with the adjusted porosity. Nowadays, there are many available works presenting mechanical characteristics of materials with different porosities. This paper proposes a new class of problems in mechanics of deformable solids. Considering a low arch stability problem, which is important in construction practice, the problem of optimal arch design is solved by controlling the properties of the material. The solution to the problem of stability of the low arch made of porous material is presented. The flat arch with a rectangular crosssection is exposed to equally distributed loading. The near-rational law of the porosity distribution over the cross-section is used. The load is considered as a random variable. The solution to the problem is obtained using the theory of stationary random processes. A comparative analysis of the reliability and material consumption is carried out for the arch with continuous and porous sections. The calculation shows that the porous structure of the arch reduces the material consumption by 13.3% without stability and reliability losses.

A mathematical model and a numerical method for calculating meteorological parameters and quantities characterizing the quality of atmospheric air in the city, obtained using mesoscale models of numerical weather forecasting and impurity transport, are presented. The results of numerical calculations were compared with the data of observations performed with the instruments of the Central Collective Use Center "Atmosfera" of the Institute of Atmospheric Optics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The conducted studies have shown that the most unfavorable meteorological conditions leading to the accumulation of impurities near the earth's surface are observed in the morning and evening hours - this is a weak wind of variable direction and stable or neutral stratification of the surface air layer.

There are periods of special interest in folklore in the history of Russian music. This is the second half of the 19th century - the period of national self-consciousness and the activity of the composers of the Mighty Handful. And the second half of the twentieth century and the "New Folk Wave". If the work of Valery Kalistratov (1942-2020) is not well known, then it is indicative of the artistic world of his era. Therefore, it is interesting to pay attention to his choral work.
