Published: February 2022

As many as 27 women aged 40-65 were enrolled in a 12-week study to evaluate the effect of fractional photothermolysis on the skin biophysical indices and clinical signs of facial photodegradation. Such indices as epidermis moisture level, transepidermal water loss, elasticity and clinical signs of skin photopathy were assessed dynamically
According to the study results, a set of three procedures had a positive effect on the skin elasticity: U (cutometry index) reliably increased after the third procedure. The skin texture parameters substantially improved, and pigmentation and wrinkle depth reduced by Week 12 of the follow-up period.
Thus, the new fractional photothermolysis technology (Sellas) is an efficient and well-tolerated procedure. It is recommended to make it a part of the comprehensive face rejuvenation program in cosmetology

Published: February 2022

The epidemiological role of migrants in the propagation of syphilis in the territory of Urals, Siberia and Far East has been studied. The syphilis incidence rate (per 100,000 of people under examination) among legal migrants was 5-30 times as high as among the autochthonic population. Latent forms (80.0%) prevailed in the clinical structure of migrants suffering from syphilis, and the percentage of contagious forms was high (62.7%). The share of migrants suffering from syphilis who withdrew from dermatovenerological observation after the diagnosis was made turned out to be high (37.5%). The authors also revealed risk factors affecting the growth in the syphilis incidence rate among labor migrants. The article discusses issues related to organizing reasonable anti-epidemic measures for the epidemiological group.
Functional condition of the lip skin: effect of the age and hormone replacementtherapy
Authors: Gubanova E I , Gubanova Ye I
Published: February 2022

Goal: To assess the effect of the age and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on the functional properties of the lip skin in women.
Materials and methods: The author conducted a comparative study of the functional properties of lips in 4 groups (young women
at the age of 20-34 and 40-49 with regular menstrual cycles, two groups of post-menopausal women taking and not taking HRT).
The following was assessed: degree of skin oiliness on the forehead, on the lower lip - transepidermal waster loss (TEWL), mechanical
deformation and elasticity, color, tactile sensitivity, hydration.
Results: Changes in the TEWL, mechanical deformation and tactile sensitivity are age-related while a more saturated color of the lips may be caused by HRT. Skin oiliness is also related to the hormonal profile in women. No effect of the age or hormonal status
on the moisture content in the lips was revealed. The study confirmed that the upper lip has a greater moisture content than the lower one.
Conclusion: The study revealed a hormonal effect on the skin fat secretion, which reduces during the post-menopausal period and is stimulated by hormone replacement therapy. Age-related changes in the elasticity and tactile sensitivity of the vermilion border
are similar to those in skin parameters.

Published: February 2022

The authors describe the results of a study of polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene by the number of CAG repeats in exon
1 of the androgen receptor gene and non-random X chromosome inactivation in 87 women of childbearing potential (at the average age of 29.5 ± 5.4 years) suffering from androgenic alopecia. They revealed an association between the presence of 'short' (≤ 22) CAG repeats in both alleles of the androgen receptor gene (р < 0,05) and a reliable growth of prevalence of non-random X chromosome inactivation in patients with androgenic alopecia as compared to healthy women (50.7% (39/77) and 16.1% (9/56), respectively, р < 0.05). These data demonstrate a pathogenetic role of polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and non-random X chromosome inactivation in the development of androgenic alopecia in women of childbearing potential as well as urgency of using molecular and genetic studies to study pathogenetic mechanisms of the disease.

Authors: ROTANOV S U , FRIGO N V , KUBANOV A A
Published: February 2022

GNTSD Rosmedtekhnologiy (State Research Center for Dermatology and Venereology of the Federal Agency for High-Technology Medical Aid) created a set of agents entitled "EP SYPHILIS expert panel of reference serums for serological diagnostics of syphilis" intended for internal laboratory and external quality control for these types of clinical laboratory tests. The expert panel includes four samples of reference materials: two samples containing the anti-T. pallidum antibody in high and low concentrations, and two other samples without the antibodies.
According to the international recommendations for production of biological standards and reference samples, EP SYPHILIS control materials are prepared in a native liquid form ready for administration; the materials are produced based on the human blood serum matrix.
The infection security of the control materials is ensured due to the preliminary examination of raw materials for the presence of markers of hemotransmissive infections (HIV and human B and C hepatitis) and thermal inactivation (within three hours at the temperature of 56 С). The specific activity of these control materials during the warranty period (six months) is ensured by means of adding Proclean 300, a stabilizing agent (preservative), in the final concentration of 0.1%, and sterilizing filtration. Regular application of these control materials in clinical and diagnostics laboratories of health care institutions is aimed at standardization and improvement of the quality of tests intended for diagnostics of syphilis.

Published: February 2022

The Ratification Act is a legal product that states Indonesia's commitment to an international treaty. The constitutionality of these laws has been tested before the Constitutional Court. In its decision, the Constitutional Court stated that the Ratification Acts is the object of judicial review as stipulated in article 24 C paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution. Even though there were two differences of opinion in the verdict on the ASEAN Charter Ratification Laws review, namely the Justice: Hamdan Zoelva and Maria Farida. The two judges categorized the Laws on the Ratification of International Treaties, not in the category of laws reviewed by the Constitutional Court. This decision explains the position of the Ratification Law in the Indonesian legal system and its future implications. This paper discusses the position of the Ratification Acts under the Indonesian legal system and the implications that will occur after the future Constitutional Court decisions on the development and relations of national law and international law. This writing uses secondary data and also primary, secondary, and tertiary legal material. This writing found the inconsistency of Indonesia in making ratification acts of International Law. It emerges that implication to the status of ratification acts. Moreover, The Constitutional Court decision tries to clarify ratification acts under the Indonesian legal system.

Tuning the flexibility of MIL-88A(Sc) through synthetic optimisation and postsynthetic halogenation
Authors: Walshe Catherine , Thom Alexander , Wilson Claire , Ling Sanliang , Forgan Ross
Published: February 2022

Breathing in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the distinctive transformation between a porous phase and a less (or non) porous phase, often controls the uptake of guest molecules, endowing flexible MOFs with highly selective gas adsorptive properties. In highly flexible topologies, breathing behaviour can be tuned by linker modification, which is typically achieved pre-synthetically by the use of functionalised linkers. Herein, we show that MIL-88A(Sc) exhibits the characteristic flexibility of its topology, which can be tuned by (i) modifying synthetic conditions to yield a formate-buttressed analogue that is rigid and porous, and (ii) postsynthetic bromination across the alkene functionality of the fumarate ligand, generating a product that is rigid but non-porous. As well as providing different methodologies for tuning the flexibility and breathing behaviour of this archetypal MOF, we show that bromination of the formate-bridged analogue results in an identical material, representing a rare example of two different MOFs being postsynthetically converted to the same end product.
Using Lifetime and Quenching Rate Constant to Determine Quencher Concentration
Authors: Soto Xena , Swierk John
Published: February 2022

Excited state quenching is a key step in photochemical reactions that involve energy or electron transfer. High reaction quantum yields require sufficiently high concentrations of quencher to ensure efficient quenching. Determination of quencher concentrations is typically done through trial and error. Using kinetic modeling, however, a simple relationship was developed that predicts the concentration of quencher necessary to quench 90% of excited states, using only the photosensitizer lifetime and the rate constant for quenching as inputs. Comparison of predicted quencher concentrations and quencher concentrations used in photoredox reactions featuring acridinium-based photocatalysts reveals that the majority of reactions used quencher concentrations significantly below the predicted concentration. This suggests these reactions exhibit low quantum yields, requiring long reaction times and/or intense light sources.

Published: February 2022

El cuerpo humano está habitado por células microbianas que coexisten equilibrada y armónicamente en diversos órganos participando en su correcto funcionamiento. Si la proporción de estos microorganismos se pierde, ocurren alteraciones metabólicas y/o fisiológicas que pueden tener repercusiones importantes en todo el organismo; un ejemplo de esto es la disminución del grosor de la mucosa intestinal que puede derivar en un incremento de la infiltración bacteriana así como de sus derivados metabólicos al torrente sanguíneo, ocasionando enfermedad gastrointestinal e inflamación crónica, la cual puede llegar a promover procesos carcinogénicos. En la presente revisión nos enfocaremos en la relación entre el desequilibrio de estas bacterias y la incidencia del cáncer de próstata, así como la influencia del microbioma sobre los diversos protocolos aplicados a pacientes que padecen cáncer como son la quimioterapia, radioterapia e inmunoterapia. Finalmente, mencionaremos las nuevas terapias experimentales que actúan en cooperación con el microbioma.

Quantifying Wetland Habitat Interspersion Using Drone Imagery
Authors:   , Gotthard Ava
Published: February 2022

Wetland bird species are affected negatively by increases in invasive plant species in their habitat. The National Audubon Society compiled Wigwam Bay State Wildlife Area marsh drone imagery for two years and needed a marsh bird habitat model with interspersion rates at selected sites. The interspersion and juxtaposition index (IJI) method from the landscapemetrics library was used to establish a baseline and evaluate habitat change between the summers of 2018 and 2019. The landscape level metric results showed small increases in interspersion for eight of the nine study areas. However, at the class level, interspersion for Emergent Vegetation decreased in all but one study area, suggesting that despite the two-year positive trend at the landscape level, invasive plants increased from 2018 to 2019.
Using Global OpenStreetMap Data to Solve Local Problems
Authors:   , Crawford David
Published: February 2022

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) consulting companies are looking for ways to cut costs. Data acquisition is often the largest cost of any GIS project. OpenStreetMap (OSM) provides Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) which is freely available for all people to use. OSM data is global in scale, and very difficult to work with. OSM data needs to be organized and loaded into a Geodatabase. This enables Geoprocessing and analysis, using Esri’s ArcGIS Platform. This is essential to every consultant, as almost all their products are a result of analysis. The purpose of this project was to answer the question: Can global OpenStreetMap data be used to answer local questions? This project suggests a consistent and repeatable workflow to extract, translate, and load (ETL) OSM data into an Esri Geodatabase. The project determines reliability of using VGI, with a thorough look at current research on the quality and accuracy of VGI and, specifically, OSM. It is essential that we understand the potential issues with the quality and accuracy of VGI so that we may associate the appropriate level of trust to the results of any analysis. Current research and analysis conclude that OSM and VGI provide data of a consistent quality and accuracy which is appropriate to use in analysis at the local level. This project enables analysis of OSM’s global dataset at scales to address local problems.

Computer Imaging of Electromagnetic Environment in Air Space with Industrial Electromagnetic Field Sources in Conditions of Combined Influence of EM Radiation
Authors: Titov Evgeny Vladimirovich , Soshnikov Alexander Andreevich , Migalev Ivan Evgenievich
Published: February 2022

This article deals with the visualization of the intensity of the electromagnetic field in a production room with various electrical equipment. To assess the electromagnetic environment under the simultaneous influence of a set of electromagnetic field sources (radiation sources), a new approach is proposed, based on the formation of electromagnetic portraits and combined pictures of the electromagnetic radiation danger. Electromagnetic portraits and hazard pictures are obtained from the results of visual diagnostics of hazardous areas of external surfaces of radiation sources, a limited number of measurements at control points, and modeling of the electromagnetic field, taking into account the possibility of simultaneous influence and amplification of the resulting action of several radiation sources. The technical implementation of the proposed approach is provided by the developed intelligent system that allows real-time automation of the control of the electromagnetic environment and the formation of hazard patterns in the zones of exposure to electromagnetic radiation at various frequencies (up to 3 THz), taking into account the electromagnetic field overlay. A complex estimation of the hazard level is combined from the separate hazard of each electromagnetic field component the briefly described mathematical apparatus.
Sidelobe Suppression Beamforming Using Tapered Amplitude Distribution for a Microwave Power Transfer System with a Planar Array Antenna
Authors: Park Inho , Seo Chulhun , Ku Hyunchul
Published: February 2022

This paper proposes a sidelobe suppression beamforming scheme using tapered amplitude distribution for microwave power transfer (MPT) with a two-dimensional planar array antenna (PAA). To overcome the undesirable effects of sidelobes, the magnitude of the sidelobes can be lowered by manipulating the amplitude distribution of the PAA. By analyzing the array factor of the PAA, we expressed the amplitude distribution as the product of two one-dimensional vectors. Moreover, we developed a method for obtaining these vectors from an expected sidelobe level (SLL). We used the Chebyshev taper, which has a higher directivity than other distributions given an expected SLL, for the amplitude distribution. To verify the proposed method, we designed and implemented a digital beamforming system with a 4 × 4 transmitter (Tx) array and a receiver (Rx) at 5.8 GHz. Compared with a uniform amplitude distribution, the proposed method reduced the SLL by 7.5 dB but the received RF power by only 0.6 dB. We compared the performance of the proposed MPT system with the results of previous studies.

Published: February 2022

Typically, users engage with smartphones in either single-hand or dual-hand mode. To design antennas that operate at 28 GHz and have high pattern integrity for both modes of operation, an orthogonal beam switching module is required as a single phased-arrays would fail. First, a corner bent corporate fed array operating at 28 GHz is proposed, which has a forward gain of 8.5 dBi and a high-front-to-back ratio of 20 dB. Second, a corner bent printed Yagi antenna that also operates in the 28 GHz band is proposed. Both the corner bent antennas are compatible with the panel edge of commercial smartphones. The radiation from both antennas is mostly directed away from the user. A corner bent co-polarized orthogonal beam switching module is presented and characterized. The antenna module also has a shared ground, making it a potential candidate for future 5G smartphones. Detailed results are presented with adequate justification.

Ek olarak alanyazını taramamız sonucunda yapılan çalışmaların daha çok betimsel düzeyde kaldığı, göstergebilim ya da anlambilim gibi yöntemlere dayanmadığı söylenebilir. Ancak yalnızca fiziki bir ortam ya da dekor olmanın ötesinde anlamlar yüklenen uzamın, göstergebilimsel çözümlemede ne tür sonuçlar sunacağını keşfetmek önemlidir. Çalışmamızı bu önemden devinimle gerçekleştirdik. Aylaklar romanındaki Şükrü Paşa Konağı’nın anlatıdaki işlevini, anlamını ve değerinin ne olduğunu/olabileceğini araştırdık. Bu araştırmamızı ise temelde göstergebilim yöntemiyle sürdürdük. Göstergebilimsel çözümlememizi gerçekleştirirken anlambilimin tekniklerinden de yararlandık. Çalışmamızın sonucunda uzamın Leman Hanım’la özdeşleştiği; bu uzamın Leman Hanım için öncelikle yaşamda kalmasını sağlayan barınma yönüyle belirdiği, öte yandan uzamın anlam alanını genişleterek varsıllık, iktidar ve soyluluk anlamlarını da yüklendiği önermelerine ulaştık. Böylece bir uzamın anlamlamasını yaparak anlatıdaki konumunu belirginleştirdik. Çalışmamızın, anlatı yerlemlerinden olan uzama ilişkin yapılacak diğer çalışmalara esin kaynağı olmasını umuyoruz.

Authors: DAVER Gizay
Published: February 2022

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between economic growth and financial development in Turkey for the period 1998:Q1 to 2021:Q1. For this purpose, following traditional practices, economic growth is monitored using the real gross domestic products’ changes. Financial development(FD) of Turkey’s monitored by using two aspects of financial development that are found equally important. These aspects are ‘financial institutions development’(FID) and ‘financial markets development’(FMD). Within the scope of the study, which is designed as a time series study, unit root and stationarity process tests were performed. Finding the series stationary, vector autoregressive model (VAR) is proposed. After lag length selection with the stable model, impulse response(IR) analyses were performed. After the IR analyses variance decomposition was performed using the Cholesky method. Both the economic development and financial development are considered to be important for Turkey and they have a relationship. The variables used in the study were found to be representative but not enough to conduct political or financial decisions. With the digital transformation, new variables should also be searched to represent the financial development and economic growth.

Pupil’s Fraction Learning based on Board Game Playingn of Confidence Intervals (MICIH) Kernel Density Estimation Approach
Authors: Tsai Hao , Chin Erh-Tsung
Published: February 2022

Primary school pupils have good mathematics learning achievements but lack interest and attitude towards mathematics learning in Taiwan. Therefore, it is necessary and feasible to study how to use game-based learning in mathematics. In this research, the board games are adopted and designed by the team members, and then are integrated into the learning of mathematics fractions. The pre-test and post-test are designed to analyze the effectiveness of pupils using board games for learning and the formation of fraction conceptions, supplemented by interviews to understand pupils’ interest and attitudes changes in learning. Research has found that pupils who only use board games for learning can recognize and read unit fractions, which can achieve the expected learning goals and enhance pupils’ interest and attitude towards mathematics learning. Finally, the limitations of this research study and the directions for future research are also proposed. Keywords: board game, fraction learning, game-based learning, teaching aids

On January 15th, 2022, around 4:30 UTC the eruption of the Hunga-Tonga volcano, in the South Pacific Ocean, generated a violent underwater explosion. In addition to tsunami waves that affected the Pacific coasts, the eruption created atmospheric pressure disturbances that spread out in the form of Lamb waves. The associated atmospheric pressure oscillations were detected in high-frequency in-situ observations all over the globe. Here we take advantage of the similarities in the propagation and characteristics between atmospheric Lamb waves and long ocean waves and we use a 2DH ocean numerical model to simulate the phenomenon. We compare the outputs of the numerical simulation with in-situ atmospheric pressure records and with remote satellite observations. The signal in the model matches the observed atmospheric pressure perturbations and reveals an excellent agreement in the wave arrival time between model and observations at hundreds of locations at different distances from the origin.

Global Energy, binding sites and molecular interactions between ponatinib, cabozantinib and sunitinib anticancer drugs with vascular endothelial growth factor was probed to find the best binding energy at the active site. The structures of ponatinib, cabozantinib and sunitinib were drawn and constructed using window based program of ArgusLab and ACDlab ChemSketch softwares. Docking studies were performed using the Patchdock and Firedock online software packages. The protein data bank (PDB) file of the crystal structure of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was subjected to refinement protocols. The interactive docking method was carried out for all the conformers of each compound in the selected active site. The docked compound was assigned a score according to its fit in the ligand binding pocket (LBP) and its binding mode. The docked complexes were interpreted using Molecular Molegro viewer software. The best binding energy (minimum energy) is -18.12 Kcal/mol, -21.63 Kcal/mol and -14.00 Kcal/mol for ponatinib, cabozantinib and sunitinib respectively. The negative value of the binding energy shows that ponatinib, cabozantinib and sunitinib can selectively inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

Authors: Delgado Gerzon E. , Quintero Miguel
Published: February 2022

Sample of the quaternary phase CuAlGeSe4, a member of the I-III-IV--VI4 semiconductor system, was synthesized by the melt and annealing technique and analyzed using X-ray powder diffraction data. The indexing and refinement of the pattern indicate that this compound crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group I (Nº82) with unit cell parameters: a = 5.5646(3) Å, c = 10.682(2) Å, V = 330.77(5) Å3. The space group was established from a cationic and anionic distribution analysis in the tetragonal space groups: I2d (Nº 122), I2m (Nº 121), and I (Nº 82), for an ordered structure in this material. The Rietveld refinement, performed with the starting model: Cu 2c, Al 2b, Ge 2d,  2a, and Se 8g, converged to Rexp= 7.2%, RP = 7.4%, Rwp = 9.6%, and χ2 = 1.7.
Thermodynamics of viscous dark energy for the late future time universe
Authors: Tamayo Ramírez David Alejandro
Published: February 2022

In this work we explore the thermodynamic aspects of dark energy for late future time universe in two different scenarios: as a perfect fluid with constant and variable equation of state parameter; and as dissipative fluid described by a barotropic equation of state with bulk viscosity in the framework of the Eckart theory and the full Israel-Stewart theory.We explore cosmological solutions for a flat, homogeneous and isotropic universe; and we assume the late future time behavior when the dark energy dominates the cosmic evolution.When modeled as a perfect fluid with a dynamical equation of state, $p=w(a)\rho$, the dark energy has an energy density, temperature and entropy well defined and an interesting result is that there is no entropy production even though been dynamical. For dissipative dark energy, in the Eckart theory two cases are studied: $\xi=const.$ and $\xi =(\beta/\sqrt{3}) \rho^{1/2}$; it is found that the entropy grows exponentially for the first case and as a power-law for the second.In the Israel-Stewart theory we consider a $\xi =\xi_0 \rho^{1/2}$ and a relaxation time $\tau = \xi/\rho$; an analytical Big Rip solution is obtained with a power-law entropy.In all cases is obtained a power-law relation between temperature and energy density.In order to maintain the second law of thermodynamics theoretical constraints for the equation of state are found in the different dark energy models studied.A barotropic dark fluid with $w<-1$ is thermodynamically difficult to support, but the overall effect of bulk viscosity in certain cases allows a phantom regime without thermodynamic anomalies.
Back to Fukushima: Perceptions and effects of an immersive journalism story
Authors: Vázquez-Herrero Jorge , Sirkkunen Esa
Published: February 2022

News media organizations have been experimenting with immersive journalism formats in recent years. The search for new ways to tell stories is driven by technology and has given rise to new –and not so new– forms of expression. The initial enthusiasm has dissipated over the years, so the uncertainty of the future of immersive journalism justifies the study of the most potential ways of using this technology in journalism. This research was carried out in Finland and Spain, and it is based on a textual narrative analysis and a reception study comparing the online article and 360º video versions of the report Fukushima: Contaminated Lives from El país. The results identify the affordances of both formats and confirm that immersive journalism has the capacity to generate a greater emotional effect based on a greater perception of presence, realism and involvement, also having a positive impact on increasing interest and changing opinions on related topics. The narration of online article seems to work better only if there is large amount of information that has to be understood and contextualized. However, authors claim that, instead of an essential break, there are similarities between both formats, which are situated on the same continuum of emotionality and rationality. These findings also indicate that immersive storytelling can be an important part of the emotional or affective turn in contemporary journalism. The sensation of presence and empathy towards distant and complex realities emerge as the main distinguishing values of the kind of immersive journalism that Fukushima: Contaminated lives represents.
Improving the efficiency of additional development of depleted gas reservoirs by displacing the residual gas with nitrogen
Authors: Kondrat R. М. , Haidarova L. І.
Published: February 2022

Based on the analysis of publications in domestic and foreign scientific and technical publications, the directions of increasing gas recovery from depleted gas reservoirs, which include the displacement of residual gas from the porous medium with nitrogen, are substantiated. Nitrogen can be obtained from the air in any oil and gas producing area using membrane, adsorption or cryogenic types of plants produced by the industry. The final gas recovery factor can be adjusted by choosing certain values ​​of technological parameters that characterize the process of reservoir development. Using hypothetical digital models, the influence on the total final gas recovery factor and the residual gas recovery factor of the pressure of the beginning of nitrogen injection into the reservoir, the rate, duration and cyclicity of its injection, the system for locating production and injection wells on the gas-bearing area and the technological modes of their operation was investigated. The results of the studies are shown in the form of graphical dependencies of the final gas recovery factor and the gas recovery factor for residual gas on the investigated determining parameters. Using the research results, the optimal values ​​of the parameters of the nitrogen injection process into a depleted gas reservoir of square and round shapes and the corresponding values ​​of the gas recovery coefficient have been established. The results of the studies performed indicate a significant technological efficiency of the displacement of residual gas by nitrogen from depleted gas reservoirs. Depending on the system of placement of production and injection wells in the gas-bearing area and the technological parameters of the nitrogen injection process into the reservoir, the gas recovery factor for the residual gas varies on average within the range of 53,97 – 61,82 %.

Здійснено регіональне прогнозування пластових вуглеводневих систем для газових родовищ Зовнішньої зони Передкарпатського прогину. Установлено залежності поширення різних типів вуглеводневих систем, що уможливлює їх прогнозування на великих глибинах в області високих температур і тисків на початкових стадіях пошукових робіт. За результатами проведених аналізів існує значна розбіжність у складі вільних газів, що робить малоефективним застосування класичної статистичної обробки наявних матеріалів. Проте, за домінуючим масивом точок вдається визначити тенденції до зміни вмісту в газі окремих компонентів, які в сумі характеризують повний (100 % об’ємних) склад флюїду на різних рівнях глибин залягання покладів для двох частин Зовнішньої зони – північно-західної та південно-східної. Побудовано графіки та виведено відносно глибин залягання покладів рівняння регресії прогнозних параметрів, які входять у формулу підрахунку запасів вуглеводнів об’ємним методом. Виведені рівняння регресії для прогнозування в поєднані з лабораторними дослідженнями термобаричних умов (тиску і температури) з глибиною, оскільки відомості про них потрібні для обчислення окремих параметрів вуглеводневих систем.
