Articulação entre a Cinética Química e a Educação CTS na visão de licenciandos
Authors: Souza Lucas Franklin dos Santos , Nunes Albino Oliveira , Dias Santos Anne Gabriella
Published: July 2024

A abordagem Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS) tem apresentado grandes contribuições no âmbito da pesquisa, levando em consideração a sua implementação nos espaços formais e não formais de ensino. Esta consegue contribuir na promoção da alfabetização científica, na motivação dos alunos perante a aprendizagem de determinado(s) conteúdo(s) e na formação integral do sujeito. A presente pesquisa possui como objetivo entender as dificuldades relacionadas à articulação entre a educação CTS e o conteúdo de Cinética Química na visão dos licenciandos do curso de Química. Os participantes da pesquisa foram licenciandos do curso de Química da UERN, campus central, Mossoró/rn. O instrumento de coleta de dados utilizado foi uma entrevista de sondagem com os discentes participantes. Após a coleta de dados, estes foram analisados seguindo a análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2011). A análise das entrevistas realizadas com os discentes permitiu perceber que a abordagem CTS é vista pelos estudantes como uma perspectiva que contribui para o protagonismo estudantil, a formação cidadã e o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico. No entanto, é interessante frisar que estes licenciandos aparentam possuir uma visão positivista e neutra sobre a ciência e as tecnologias, o que se caracteriza porpensamentos voltados para o modelo de decisões tecnocráticas.

En este artículo de investigación, presentamos los resultados de un estudio cualitativo cuyo objetivo fue señalar cómo los informes descritos en la obra Através da Bahia, de los naturalistas alemanes Spix y Martius, pueden contribuir a la enseñanza de las ciencias y a la formación docente que sea sensible a la diversidad cultural. La metodología utilizada fue la investigación documental, y para el análisis de los datos se empleó el método de análisis de contenido. El análisis indica que existen extractos en la referida obra centrados en conocimientos etnobiológicos y etnoecológicos que abren posibilidades de diálogo con los contenidos científicos escolares de biología, química y ecología (por ejemplo, clasificación científica, fósiles de animales, evolución biológica, sostenibilidad ambiental, desarrollo socioambiental, esclavitud y racismo). Igualmente, estos podrían captar la atención de los docentes hacia la consideración y el respeto a la diversidad cultural desde una perspectiva histórica y social, lo que contribuiría a una formación docente sensible a la diversidad cultural.
INNOVATIVE FABRIC DESIGN OF THE VIENNA WORKSHOPS
Authors: Bliumin Marina
Published: July 2024

The Vienna Workshops is an artistic and industrial association founded in 1903 by architect J. Hoffman, artist K. Moser and industrialist F. Werndorfer, who made a significant contribution to the development of textile ornamentation. J. Hoffman (who was influenced by the Scottish architect C.R. Mackintosh) continued his bold experiments in the use of smooth planes and volumes in architectural structures. J. Hoffman was a follower of the Gesamtkunstwerk concept and he paid special attention to the textile ornamentation which should be reflected in a single style set by architectural forms. In the initial period of activity of the Vienna workshops from 1903 to 1910, the artists of the association developed a special type of geometric ornaments, which were distinguished by the innovative ways of building rapport compositions using the simplest shapes: squares, rectangles, ovals, rhombuses, etc. The new structures of the ornamental motifs had a striking individual manner and were used in a variety of products of the Viennese workshops. The article introduces for the first time into scientific circulation sketches and a book of samples of textile products for 1908 of a French enterprise supposedly owned by C. Steiner, with geometric patterns by Viennese workshops. These rare materials were provided by a private collector from St. Petersburg. The next important stage in the association’s activities began after the opening of the textile department in 1910 and was associated with the development of stylized floral motifs in a primitive manner. Following the artists of Munich, the Viennese workshops turned to the folklore tradition and proposed new textile designs with large floral and foliage forms. They were characterized by a planar image of elements, the use of graphic possibilities of lines, spots and shading of local colors. The fabrics of the Viennese workshops were a great success with contemporaries and were used to create women’s outfits and in interior design. Innovative geometric and floral patterns of fabrics in a primitive manner had a noticeable impact on the products of textile factories in Europe in the first decades of the 20th century.

Authors: Kareva Galina
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the Central Draw workshop of Ivanovo-Voznesensk State Textile Trust. It is the first try to examine the community of the artists as the phenomenon of the local industrial history. To solve the problem the sources of the Ivanovo State Museum of local history documentary fund and the Head of the workshop P. Leonov’s book of notes from a private collection were used. The common central draw workshop establishment contributed to the strengthening of the Trust role as the industrial commercial unit. The drawings developed in the workshop were put into production at several factories of the region, the textile was sold under the Ivanovo-Voznesensk State Textile Trust brand and the drawings individuality was leveled. The Drawing Workshop regulated and ruled the process of textile ornament creation in the Ivanovo-Voznesensk region. Its development determinates the periods of the region textile design school development. Peter Leonov the leader of the Drawing wokshop played the great role in its forming mostly determinate the HR policy. The article contains a lot of documental material that shows the artists stuff of the workshop, their service records, salaries and some other aspects. It deals the works of the several artists who has put a special track in the regional industrial design. V. Maslov and F. Antonov’s textile ornament sketches are published for the first time and introduced into the scientific turnover. It was joined the collection of Burylin museum in 2020. The work is important for the attribution of the agitation textile manufactured in Ivanovo and illustrates the main stages of the Ivanovo agitation ornament development.
IMMERSIVE TEXTILE ENVIRONMENTS. ESCAPE INTO THE AIR
Authors: Mitrofanova Natalia
Published: July 2024

Installation art became an important phenomenon in the 20th century. In the 21st century, installations become immersive and involve the widespread use of participatory practices and increased physical contact with the viewer. One of the new trends in contemporary art that emerged in the first decades of the 21st century was the creation of floating, large-scale immersive textile structures or soft “environmental sculpture.” The objects are multivariate “walk-in” labyrinths, knitted or woven from fiber materials. The first steps in creating lightweight mesh structures were mastered by architects in the 1960s. Based on the bold decisions of their predecessors, contemporary artists Toshiko Horiuchi Macadam, Ernesto Neto, Tomas Saraceno, the group “Nume/For Use” and others laid the foundation for immersive textile installations - cyclopean webs of different types of structures and compositional solutions. The purpose of this study is to analyze modern textile immersive “walk in” labyrinths. An attempt was made to understand the reasons for the appearance of these artistic objects, their features and fundamental principles of execution were identified. The antiquity and reliability of textile practices, the properties of the fiber and the wide range of its aesthetic qualities have made textiles indispensable in the creation of installations of this kind. The deep metaphorical nature of the material evokes multiple connotations among the participants involved in the artistic process, enriches the range of their experiences, and awakens the intensity significance of meanings. In addition, the viewer gets the opportunity to have a unique experience and gains personal and subjective experience. Immersive textile installations have become a space for artistic expression and reflect a wide range of contradictions in the modern world.

Template cohesion in perfume advertisements
Authors: Karpova Kateryna ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Popivniak Olena , Galitska Elizaveta ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine,   Kyiv Gymnasium №86 "Consul", Ukraine

The article deals with features of perfume advertisements, in particular, cooperation of verbal and visual semiotic modes. It has been found that this cooperation is reflected in multimodal cohesion which is realized as reiteration of some mode components and sub-components in the set of perfume advertisements chosen for semiotic research. Reiteration of visual mode components is the background for selecting advertisements chosen according to the template cohesion. The whole multimodal cohesion investigation rests on template reiteration of verbal and corresponding visual components. For more detailed and thorough research the perfume advertisements of two different types have been chosen. The first type which has been distinguished as professional trader's catalogue advertisement functions as a detailed verbal representation of perfume information, goods description. It represents verbal semiotic mode involving all mode components and a net of sub-components. The second type has been recognized as potential consumer's advertisement. It has stressed on the visual semiotic mode representing detailed visualization of perfumery goods advertised giving some visual information which is not relevant to the perfume mentioned and described in the verbal semiotic mode. The whole research rests on template cohesion which belongs to the cross-advertisement cohesion, reiteration of visual semiotic mode components in the set of advertisements. Correlation of verbal and visual semiotic mode component and sub-component reiteration has helped to distinguish cryptic cohesion which has the intermediate position between verbal and visual semiotic modes, being a semi-independent element, it belongs simultaneously to both (verbal and visual) modes and it is very problematic to distinguish its definite belonging and connection with a definite mode. Revealing the cohesion is a very uncertain, hidden procedure. Verbal visualization creates cryptic cohesion which rests on typeface. According to the class of design typeface is divided into basic and additional. All classes are separated into eight cases of design devices. Further division is represented in twenty variations, which reflect typography codification as a set of typeface parameters. Cryptic cohesion has provided additional consolidation of perfume advertisements, grasping together verbal and visual semiotic modes, twisting these modes firmly in the chain of advertisements.
A Phenomenological Investigation of Counselors’ Perceived Preparedness With Suicidal Clients
Authors: Dahl-Jacinto Heather , Hays Danica G.
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the essence of counselors’ perceived preparedness working with suicidal clients and to provide suicide prevention and assessment recommendations for the counseling profession. We identified a structural-textural description that highlights the perceived amount, quality, and components of training preparedness, as well as suicide assessment and intervention knowledge. This phenomenological investigation included 10 professional counselors who described the degree to which they felt prepared to work with suicidal clients and their perceptions of the suicide prevention and assessment training they have completed during their training program and in their agency work setting. Counselors did not generally feel that their training had been adequate and subsequently sought more through personal learning or on-the-job training. Counselors should seek out evidence-based trainings that best meet the needs of their clients.

Special attention is paid to constitutionally significant aspects of the consideration of criminal cases on terrorism, problems of anti-terrorist protection of transport and other infrastructure facilities, issues of social protection of military personnel, law enforcement officers and other persons engaged in countering terrorism. The author explains the significance of the legal standings defined by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the nature of their impact on law-making and law enforcement activities in the area under consideration.
Corporate Suits Brought by Corporate Members
Authors: Yerchak S. V.
Published: July 2024

The protection of rights and legal interests can be carried out by the corporation in the person of its participants, as well as members of management bodies. In the legal literature, claims brought by members of a corporation in defense of its rights and legal interests are traditionally referred to as indirect (derivative). At the same time, indirect suits are initially not typical of the Russian legal order. They originated in Anglo-Saxon law, where there is a dichotomous division into direct suits of participants (direct suits), the possibility of which is an exception to the general rule and is associated with the inability to achieve the goals of legal protection by suing the corporation itself in the person of the participant (derivative suit). It does not seem entirely correct to call the suits brought by a corporation, if they are brought by a participant, indirect, since the corporation is an independent subject of law, and Russian corporate law at the present stage of development does not provide for the possibility of direct claims by the participants of the corporation, bypassing the corporation itself. Taking into account the above, there is no need to separate an indirect claim into a separate category, since this claim is aimed at protecting the rights and legal interests of the direct subject of a disputed substantive legal relationship.
Genesis and Current State of the Forensic Prediction Theory
Authors: Chistilina A. S.
Published: July 2024

Predictive activities in the field of forensic science are one of the most relevant practice-oriented areas of research within the framework of forensic science. Predicting development trends of any subject, process, and system based on existing information about them and the achieved level of science allows us to obtain advanced knowledge that is relevant given the high speed of emergence, processing and use of information in modern society. The digitalization process causes the emergence of new objects and new tasks of expert research, changes in their methods and methodology, which significantly affects the formation and development of new types of forensic examinations. The theory of forensic forecasting should become the foundation for scientifically based forecasts in this area. The work scrutinizes the genesis of this theory, its close connection with scientific forecasting in other sciences of the criminal legal cycle. Particular attention is given to its connection with forensic forecasting. The paper states the relatively low level of development of the theory of forensic forecasting, and identifies factors that complicate forecasting in the field of forensic activity. The relevance of further developments in this area is noted. It is indicated that the timely organization of methodological developments, updating of professional and educational requirements for experts and other practically significant activities require theoretical predictive information for their planning.

Published: July 2024

Multiple biliary hamartomas are a benign incidental finding in the liver. They are not easily detected if one has never seen them, and if appropriate imaging tests are unavailable, and also can be challenging to differentiate from other liver lesions based on imaging alone. Thus, this study aimed to expand the radiologist’s digital image library, enabling a quick and precise differential diagnosis. This paper also highlights the importance of thorough radiological assessment and need for a multidisciplinary approach, involving radiologists, hepatologists, and pathologists, to ensure a precise diagnosis.
The patient presented at the hospital for a computed tomography scan and an abdominal magnetic resonance imaging recommended by his general practitioner to assess the biliary tree (magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography), owing to persistent abdominal pain. The patient had never undergone an abdominal magnetic resonance imaging previously; hence, the discovery of hepatic lesions was incidental and unexpected.
Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple benign lesions in both the hepatic lobes comparable to the Von Meyenburg complex. These lesions are multiple hamartomas and behave differently in all magnetic resonance imaging sequences.
Images acquired with different magnetic resonance imaging sequences were carefully examined. Multiple lesions were found scattered throughout the liver; however, the lesions were benign and consistent with the diagnosis of multiple biliary hamartomas.
Medical practitioners should examine the presence of multiple biliary hamartomas and consider them in the differential diagnosis when patients present with hepatic abnormalities. This can prevent unnecessary interventions and guide appropriate patient management.
The state of cancer care in Russia: epidemiology and survival in patients with the most common and life-threatening solid malignant tumors. Part 1 (population study)
Authors: Merabishvili Vakhtang M. , Rumyantsev Pavel O. , Yurkova Julia P. , Artemeva Anna S. , Belyaev Alexey M.
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Solid tumors (solid — firm, non-hematopoietic, i.e. developing not from cells of the hematopoietic system) constitute the majority of malignant tumors. The most important factors for their development are: size, degree of sprouting into surrounding tissues, spread throughout the body in the form of regional and distant metastases.
The most common (those having the highest incidence rate) solid malignant tumors in Russia are: lung, stomach and breast cancer. The most life-threatening (those having the worst survival rates) are liver and pancreatic cancer. We paid particular attention to the impact of coronavirus infection pandemic on morbidity, mortality as well as registration quality of patients with solid malignant tumors. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of conducted anticancer measures, we calculated survival rates of patients.
AIM: To calculate and evaluate the survival rates of patients with the most common and life-threatening neoplasms in Russia.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We based our study on the data of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, reference books of Moscow Herzen Research Oncological Institute (Russia) and N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Centre of Oncology (Saint Petersburg, Russia), as well as databases of population cancer registries of Saint Petersburg and the Northwestern Federal District of Russia.
Data processing was performed using licensed programs MS Excel 2013–2016 and STATISTICA 6.1. Modified Eurocare program was used to calculate survival rate, as well as mathematical, bibliographic and statistical methods.
RESULTS: The first part of the study analyzed the main regularities of changes in morbidity, mortality and quality of registration of patients with the most common and life-threatening solid malignant tumors in Russia. The incidence of lung and gastric solid malignant tumors has significantly decreased, while the incidence of breast, liver and pancreas cancer has increased. A significant impact of the coronavirus infection pandemic was revealed, and the main changes in age-specific indicators were traced.
CONCLUSION: Upon the background of general decrease in mortality of the Russian population from malignant tumors, an increase was noted for mortality from life-threatening localizations (liver and pancreatic cancer), which is confirmed by calculations of the index of accuracy.

Published: July 2024

La presente investigación analiza las diferencias generacionales en las tendencias de consumo, tanto digitales como tradicionales, abarcando cinco dimensiones clave: salud, vivienda, tecnología, ocio y educación. Mediante un enfoque metodológico exploratorio-concluyente, se realizó una encuesta en Loja, Ecuador, a miembros de las generaciones Baby Boomers, X, Millennials y Generación Z. Se emplearon instrumentos de medición altamente fiables, con alfas de Cronbach superiores a 0.7, garantizando una sólida consistencia interna. El análisis reveló diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las generaciones en cuanto a tendencias digitales y preferencias en Vivienda, Tecnología y Ocio, identificadas a través de pruebas de Kruskal-Wallis. Sin embargo, las dimensiones de Salud y Educación no mostraron variaciones significativas entre los grupos. Este descubrimiento es fundamental, ya que indica que mientras las generaciones más jóvenes, como los Millennials y la Generación Z, prefieren los medios digitales, las generaciones mayores se inclinan por los medios tradicionales aun hoy en día.  Estos resultados tienen implicaciones cruciales para las estrategias de marketing y publicidad. Subrayan la necesidad de enfoques de marketing personalizados que resonarán con cada grupo generacional. Las empresas deben adaptar sus estrategias para conectar eficazmente con cada generación, equilibrando la tecnología y los medios tradicionales de manera estratégica para captar una audiencia diversa. Este estudio no solo destaca las diferencias en el comportamiento de consumo entre generaciones, sino que también buscan optimizar su alcance y resonancia en un mercado diversificado y en constante evolución.

Published: July 2024

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is a significant public health problem that is implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of common diseases via increased oxidative stress and a decrease in the generation of nitric oxide. There is little information about its impact on some organ, hence the need for this research. This was a case-control study carried out on Hausa and Fulani ethnics in Kano. Heparinized 5 ml venous blood specimen were collected from 140 individuals (70 deficient and 70 control) aged between 18-35 years selected for the study to determine the blood levels of some biochemical parameters using standard methods. There were significant increase in transaminases (p<0.001), but significant decrease concentrations of sodium (p<0.05), chloride (p<0.001), alkaline phosphatase (p<0.001) and total protein (p<0.001) whereas there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) in the plasma concentration of albumin, total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, urea, creatinine, potassium and bicarbonate ions. Our results demonstrate extremely significantly lower (p<0.001 for all) concentration in glutathione reductase, total antioxidants potential, copper, zinc and non-significant decrease (p>0.05) in manganese level of G-6-PD deficient patients compared to controls, whereas malondialdehyde level showed an increasing trend on contrary. However, there were correlations between G-6-PD activity and oxidative stress markers. The findings of the present study suggest that liver and kidneys functions were not altered among people living with G-6-PD deficiency but induce oxidative stress which is not capable of causing organ impairment.
Transfiguration of Human Atrioventricular Conduction Axis with His bundle Pacing: Effect on Underlying Bundle Branch Block
Authors: Mahmud Rehan
Published: July 2024

His bundle pacing comes with the expectation of avoiding morbidity and mortality associated with pacing the ventricular myocardium. The paced complex typically exhibits a delta wave and resembles the relatively normal QRS complex of fasciculoventricular preexcitation. In patients with atrioventricular conduction disease, His bundle pacing ‘corrects’ both right and left bundle branch block. Conduction block is known to have a diffuse substrate and mechanism of correction remains unclear. In 51 patients with normal QRS complex, 35 patients with right bundle branch block and left axis deviation, and 41 patients with left bundle branch block we analyzed the changes in the paced QRS complex. In all patients His bundle pacing caused a decrease in ventricular activation time, an increase in lead 1 voltage, an inferior shift in the frontal QRS axis, and a rightward shift in R wave transition in the precordial leads. In patients with normal QRS, despite these changes, the paced QRS remained in normal range. In left bundle branch block, these changes resulted in decrease of prolonged ventricular activation time, increased lead 1 voltage , and normalized the delayed R wave transition in precordial leads. The correction of right bundle branch block suggested that the right ventricular free wall was being activated earlier. This was consistent with early rightward transition of precordial R waves and the inferior QRS axis and the known base to apex activation of right ventricular wall in fasciculoventricular preexcitation. We conclude that the QRS complex in normal range, seen in fasciculoventricular preexcitation, is caused by rapidly conducting, base-to-apex, and septum to lateral wall activation in both left and right ventricles. This would explain the correction of left axis deviation and reversal of delayed lateral wall activation in right and left bundle branch block, by His bundle pacing.
Synovial chondromatosis of the shoulder: A rare case report
Authors: Karir Ekaansh , Joshi Sachin
Published: July 2024

Synovial chondromatosis is a monarticular svnovial proliferative disease in which cartilaginous or osteocartilaginous metaplasia occurs within the synovial membrane of joints, bursae or tendon sheaths. The disease has been classified into three phases. 1: Early: with svnovial chondrometaplasia but no loose bodies; 2: Transitional: with active svynovial disease and loose bodies; 3: Late: With loose bodies but no synovial disease.

Cartilaginous metaplasia from joint, tendo, or bursal synovial lining differentiates this entity from loose bodies arising from degenerative arthritis, osteochondritis dissecans. and osteochondral fractures.

A 54 Year Hindu male presented to the orthopaedic OPD with complains of pain and swelling in left shoulder which was insidous in onset, gradually progressive in nature and not relieved by medications. Patient also complained of clicking noise during shoulder movements which was insidous in onset and gradually progressive in nature.

Synovial chondromatosis is a synovial lesion seen generally in adults with a male predominance. It occurs most commonly in the knee, unsually also occuring at the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. It can lead to mechanical symptoms, decreased range of motion and effusion. Histopath shows nodules of moderately cellular hyaline cartilage. D/D can include Myositis Ossificans, Synovial Chondrosarcoma and Synoval Sarcoma. Treatment is usually observation if asymptomatic. It symptomatic, then arthroscopic or open synovectomy can be done, arthroscopy increases chances of recurrence.

Trans as Method: The Sociality of Gender and Shakespeare
Authors: Joubin Alexa Alice
Published: July 2024

This special issue on contemporary performance proposes “trans” as method and as a social practice rather than as an immutable identity category that stands in opposition to more established ones such as cisgender men or cisgender women. We ask new questions about Shakespearean performance: How might the meanings of the plays change if we consider them as transgender performances rather than cis-centric stories requiring suspension of disbelief about cross-gender roles? What if the body of the female character and the actor’s somatic presence exist on a continuum rather than in contrary fixations? The enactment of gender practices is not predicated upon “substitutions” (as in substituting the boy actor for Desdemona) or entail diagnostic recognition (as in being reminded of the “real” body beneath the illusion of Desdemona). This introduction outlines key issues with today’s terminology, suggests a more effective and inclusive vocabulary, elucidates trans as method, and demonstrates trans studies’ relevance to Shakespeare studies. Research articles in this issue deal primarily with tacit representations of transness in film and performance, such as the case of an actor who came out as trans posthumously, and interviews highlight practitioners’ voices by rerouting the epistemological circuits that have predetermined who can produce knowledge about gender.
Macbeth’s Idiot and Faulkner’s Compsons
Authors: Bartlett Bridget
Published: July 2024

William Faulkner’s use of a line from Macbeth for the title of The Sound and The Fury is a well-known instance of Shakespearean appropriation, but in this note I uncover the unrecognized appropriation of that line as it signifies when historicized. Specifically, I highlight the class dimensions that appear prominent in the Macbeth line when we understand the word “idiot” as the play’s first audiences did, and I demonstrate how Faulkner’s appropriation of the line as it signified in Jacobean English informs and reflects the central themes of The Sound and The Fury. Because early modern understandings of class as a largely hereditary category overlapped significantly with contemporary lineal constructions of race, Faulkner’s appropriation of the historicized line with its emphasis on class is especially significant for the interactions of race and class that animate Faulkner’s fiction as well as studies of appropriative uses of Shakespeare.
“The Winter of Our Discontent”: An Interview with Playwright Terri Power
Authors: Joubin Alexa Alice , Power Terri
Published: July 2024

This interview with Terri Power, conducted by Alexa Alice Joubin, focuses on the representations of trans masculinity in Power’s play Drag King Richard III. For nearly two decades Power has been at the forefront of trans and queer representation in performances of Shakespeare. Weaving a personal story of the 1990s with Shakespeare’s early modern disability narrative, Power’s adaptation reveals that the gender binary was enforced even in queer circles in the 1990s, coding lesbian identities as either butch or femme. The interview concludes with her suggestions for future work in transgender theatre based on her collaboration with trans actors beyond Richard III.

The study of economic growth factors is of greatest interest in modern economic science. The level of economic development is the key to solving social problems and improving the quality of life of the population. This study examines the impact of capital accumulation on economic growth. The author uses a neoclassical approach to the analysis of economic growth factors. Capital accumulation in the main sectors of the economy – mining, manufacturing, agriculture – is considered as a factor indicator. The main hypothesis of the study is that currently, the accumulation of fixed capital in important sectors of the Russian economy is not enough to significantly increase labor productivity and subsequent economic growth. This requires not only a qualitative, but also a quantitative assessment of the capital accumulation factor. Based on the results of the study, conclusions of practical importance were drawn. Firstly, an increase in capital per 1 worker by 1% leads to an increase in labor productivity by more than 1%, that is, the growth in labor productivity outpaces the growth in capital per 1 worker. Consequently, the capital-labor ratio can be considered as an important factor of economic growth. Secondly, a negative factor should be considered the lag in the pace of production renewal from the pace of withdrawal of fixed assets in industry and agriculture in some regions of Russia, which dictates the need to implement special programs in certain regions of Russia to intensify the development of manufacturing and agriculture. Thirdly, increasing the rate of capital growth per 1 worker for higher growth of labor productivity is advisable only in the manufacturing industry and agriculture, which is associated with the currently lower rates of capital growth per 1 worker in these industries compared to the mining industry.

Innovative technologies have rapidly entered the life of people and society as a whole, particularly in the economic sphere. One of the economic sectors where the need to utilize digital technologies prevails is insurance. Innovative technologies contribute to the improvement of all processes in the insurance market. The positive development of insurance largely depends on the introduction and use of digital technologies. This article is devoted to analyzing and evaluating the impact of digital technologies on the development of insurance activities. This article examines the impact of digital technologies on insurance activities. The main objective is to describe the main technologies themselves and their application in risk assessment, loss prevention and improvement of insurance services processes. In order to achieve this task, we have reviewed sources on the topic, considered projects and studies in the field of application of digital technologies in insurance activities, and analyzed the data obtained. The work resulted in the presentation of digital science technologies used in the operations of insurance companies, such as artificial intelligence, internet of things, blockchain, and how these technologies can be applied in risk assessment, loss prevention and improvement of insurance service processes. The results can be used by insurance companies applying various digital technologies in their operations, namely online sales of insurance policies, data collection and analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning to develop the insurance market.

Complex dynamics of some spatially—extended self—oscillating systems, that can be treated as the simple models of vacuum microwave electron devices, is studied. The model of parametric interaction of counter—propagating waves, models of interaction of counter—propagating waves with positive and negative energies, and the model of klystron—type oscillator with delayed feedback are considered. The application of results obtained for explanation of peculiarities of complex dynamics of some microwave clectron devices is discussed.

Aging and Reliability: How Do Variations in the Failure Rate Affect the Shape of the Survival Curves of Aging Organisms

Published: July 2024

The article considers the regularities of the theory of reliability, which determine the constancy of the shape of the curves of organisms’ survival. The assumption that the probability of natural death is determined by the probability of accidental failure of a part of a series of homogeneous elements (cells) allows to obtain, analytically and through numerical experiments, survival curves similar to those observed in nature. The use of com-puter modelling methods makes it possible to identify the survival curve parameters determined by the dynamics of the probability of failure of an individual element. The value of one of these parameters, namely the coordinates of the inflection point of human survival curves, indicates that, apparently, both in long-lived species in general and in humans specifically, the ageing promoting mechanism is the progressive deterioration of reliability - the dilapidation of the elements (cells) crucial for ageing.

Effect of oxidative-stress (OS) on male fertility is much as it reduces fertility to a substantial low level. In bulls, a variety of testicular insults, such as exposure to toxins, X-ray and environmental chemicals, pollutants or specific physical ailments (varicocele) can result in OS which is then reflected in the spermatozoa health. The free-radicals induced damage can be either due to reactive oxygen or nitrogen species. The measures to alleviate such OS include either preventive measures to suppress the production of free-radicals or addition of supplements to counteract the negative effect post-facto. Since detrimental effect of free-radicals is well documented estimation of its presence in semen and effect on spermatozoa need to be carried out precisely to chalk out a strategy to counterbalance the OS. This review briefly touches upon aetiology, methods of combating OS and comparative analysis of various available determinative assays.
