Published: October 2021

The construction works value in country has been increased for the last 5 years, so does the workplace accident number that boosts consideration of safety issue in industry, including the listed private construction firm. Its revenue growth in the last 3 years, was offset by decreased total number of workplace accidents in contrary to the increased workplace’s major accidents number. About 75% of company’s workplace accident involved subcontractors, over 60% of its root causes were dealing with Unsafe Behavior, and 68% of workplace accidents in 2019 caused by Unsafe Action. It triggers a strong impetus to initiate Behavior Based Safety implementation, by the DO-IT (Define-Observe-Intervene-Test) approach using in-depth interview, structured self-assessment questionnaires and statistical tests. The findings deal with Safety Key Behavior (SKB) criteria in 17 areas of entire construction works through formulating at-risk behavior that leads to unsafe action by the workers, grouped into 3 circles of processes, i.e., execution, supervision and planning/ management. This study contributes to address mutual obligation between company and subcontractors in prioritizing safety behavior improvement to help the policy makers enhancing safety performance in the industry.

Published: October 2021

Power plants as electricity producers need to be maintained using monitoring performance and continuous improvements. Company management of power plant is difficult to make a decision for the continuous improvement, requires Performance Measurement Tools (PMT) to determine the performance of a gas engine power plant. PMT developed using Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that was defined through Forum Group Discussion (FGD) with different field of expertise in company and based on references and the weighting of KPI criterion that was developed by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This study has developed the weight of KPI that the weight of each criterion which will be used as a reference is Rank 1 – Power Output (MW) – PO (70.81%), Rank 2 – Heat Rate (Btu/kWh) – HR (14.91%), Operating Ratio (%) – OR (8.06%) and Rank 4 – Capacity Factor (%) – CF (6.22%).
IN SEARCH OF LIFE EXPERIENCE AND WISDOM (ORIGINALITY OF THE FAIRY TALE BY IVAN FRANKO “ABOUT A NOBLEMAN LOOKING FOR А TROUBLE”)
Authors: Vorok Khrystyna
Published: October 2021

The paper deals with the story “About a Nobleman Looking for а Trouble” (1887) by Ivan Franko and highlights its genre peculiarities. The major attention is drawn to the dominant features indicating the fairy-tale nature of the story. The literary sources of the plot, the system of characters, biblical allusions, main issues as well as the reception of the work by contemporary criticism have been explored. The story by Ivan Franko was based on Ukrainian folk tales about the search for trouble performed by a nobleman or a priest.

In the field of struggle between the forces of good and evil, the images of the young magician — Messiah — Jesus Christ and the Тrouble become the central symbols of the tale. The Misfortune archetype, which is directly linked to Franko’s perception of the people, suffering under circumstances of total dependence on the landlords, must be analyzed with attention to the people’s outlook and the author’s individual thinking. The young magician appears as Messiah, and it helps to bring a nobleman closer to something eternal and make him reevaluate his own life. These images perform important functions in the plot and composition of the work, revealing active changes in the character of a nobleman and forming the philosophical and psychological discourse of the author. There is a variety of associations between the light in the Bible and in Franko’s tale. The “light that enlightens everyone” causes enlightenment of а nobleman. The inner state of the hero at the moment of enlightenment is revealed in prayer. The prayer monologue demonstrates openness, sincerity, the immediacy of self-expression and despair, and at the same time hopelessness. 

The plot of the tale “About a Nobleman Looking for а Trouble” is related to Franko’s unfinished poem “About a Richman Who Went to Buy а Trouble” (written in 1887). The research also involves some other prose works by the writer.
A HISTORIAN OF LITERATURE AHAPII SHAMRAI: TEXT, WORK, AND ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Pashko Oksana
Published: October 2021

The paper aims to reconstruct the research activity of the Ukrainian literary scholar Ahapii Pylypovych Shamrai (1896—1952) in the period from 1922 to 1929. For this purpose, the works of the scholar, his personal files, materials from the newspapers and journals of the time, as well as correspondence have been examined. It was necessary to describe A. Shamrai’s postgraduate studies at the Research Department of History of Ukraine (literary and ethnographic section) (1922—1924). Much attention is given to the textbook “Ukrainian Literature. A Brief Survey” (1927, 1928) that was among the first structured presentations of the history of Ukrainian literature. The paper analyzes the perception of the textbook by contemporary readers and outlines the specifics of Shamrai’s sociological method of this period. Considering the research work of A. Shamrai in the context of literary criticism of the 1920s, the author of the paper reconstructs the scholar’s dialogue with M. Zerov and the polemic with “New Generation” magazine. One of the central topics for A. Shamrai in the 1920s is examined in detail: it is his study of H. Kvitka-Osnovianenko’s work. In particular, the discussion between A. Shamrai and Ye. Aizenshtok on the publication of H. Kvitka’s works in 1928 has been highlighted. A. Shamrai’s scholarly concepts of the 1920s characterize him as a textual critic (‘text of the work’, ‘canonical text’) and historian of literature (‘literary fact’, ‘work’, ‘environment’, ‘style’, ‘literary school’, ‘template’, ‘minor writers’, ‘influence’). The category ‘reader’ was also very important for Shamrai’s works of this period. A range of examples shows how Shamrai used the methodology of comparative studies.

Authors: Krylov Sergey A.
Published: October 2021

The features and problems of creating multi-scale maps are considered, common examples of which are cartographic web services and GIS projects, where the content and display of objects varies depending on the scale. The main disadvantage of multi-scale maps is the inconsistent and incorrect selection of objects, which is especially evident on maps of medium and small scales. To ensure the correct display of general geographic elements at different scale levels, the automated selection technology is proposed, based on the calculation of quantitative indicators, the formation of selection tables and the accounting of interrelated objects in the interactive mode. To implement the proposed selection methods in the MapInfo GIS, software modules have been developed. The proposed technology will allow you to create a general geographic basis for a multi-scale map at any required scale. At the same time, a reasonable and consistent selection of objects is provided.

Authors: Altyntsev Maxim A. , Altyntseva Marina A.
Published: October 2021

Various technical equipment are used for surveying the condition of the road surface. One of the most modern methods for assessing the state of roads is mobile laser scanning (MLS), which allows obtaining a point model of road surface with high density accuracy and in a short period of time. After generating a digital surface model (DSM) from an array of laser points, we can identify various defects of the roadway and evaluate its flatness. A prerequisite for obtaining reliable survey results is increased accuracy of the pre-processed point cloud. During pre-processing 2D scanners and digital cameras are calibrated, point clouds are adjusted and filtered. The necessity for increased accuracy of pre-processing results for the purpose of generating the DSM imposes certain requirements on data processing techniques. For this purpose, additional study of the MLS data accuracy should often be carried out. The results of preliminary processed MLS data in order to generate high-accuracy DSM of road pavement are discussed.

Authors: Nikonov Anton V. , Ryabova Nadezhda M. , Alekseev Sergey P.
Published: October 2021

When carrying out geodetic work inside production shops or on a construction site, it is necessary to significantly change the focusing of the telescope. Refocusing the telescope can lead to a shift in the sighting axis, and, accordingly, to a decrease in the accuracy of angular measurements. The article presents the results of laboratory studies to determine the horizontal error of collimation and vertical index error of the Leica total station for distances from 2 to 84 m. Therefore, after checking the collimation and vertical index error and automatically taking into account their influence, it is allowed performing geodetic measurements at one position of the vertical circle. In particular, this makes it possible to speed up the execution of fan-shaped trigonometric leveling with short sights, which is performed when observing the settlements of the foundations of industrial buildings and structures.

Women have been disproportionately penalized by the pandemic undermining or reverting recent equality progress rendering the mainstreaming of gender parity crucial for an inclusive recovery. The European Union provides a well-defined case to assess the saliency and cross-country heterogeneity of gender mainstreaming in the recovery. Its commonly financed recovery plan Next Generation EU (NGEU) embodies gender equality among its priorities, on the basis of which Member State drafted National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs). Our analysis exploits the NRRPs for a cross-country comparison of the saliency of gender through a mixed-method assessment complementing automated text analysis of the NRRPs with qualitative case studies. Findings show limited saliency of gender parity within national recovery investment and reform strategies, with substantial geographical differences favouring more gender-equal countries. Results highlight (heterogeneously) limited prioritization of gender equality across the EU risking widening gaps as a legacy of Covid-19.

The exposure of nanoparticles (NPs) to biological fluids leads to the formation of a protein coating that is known as protein corona (PC). Since PC formation is influenced by the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles, the understanding of the interplay of the factors that participate in this process is crucial for the development of nanomaterials as cell-targeted delivery vehicles. In general, it is accepted that the PC formation is a complex and dynamic process, which depends on the composition of the medium and the properties of the NP mainly size, shape, and superficial charge. Interestingly, although the interaction between the protein and the NP is essentially a superficial phenomenon, the influence of the roughness of the nanoparticle surface has been scarcely studied. In this work, the influence of superficial roughness and porosity has been studied with the aid of nanodifferential scanning calorimetry (nano-DSC) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as an NP model. The interaction process of the proteins with the NP surface was analyzed by ITC measurements, while the stability and denaturation of the proteins was monitored by nano-DSC. Thanks to the complementarity of these two techniques, a more complete insight into the PC formation on the pores has been accomplished.

Heart failure in adults is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It can arise from a variety of diseases, with most resulting in a loss of cardiomyocytes that cannot be replaced due to their inability to replicate, as well as to a lack of resident cardiomyocyte progenitor cells in the adult heart. Identifying and exploiting mechanisms underlying loss of developmental cardiomyocyte replicative capacity has proved to be useful in developing therapeutics to effect adult cardiac regeneration. Of course, effective regeneration of myocardium after injury requires not just expansion of cardiomyocytes, but also neovascularization to allow appropriate perfusion and resolution of injury-induced inflammation and interstitial fibrosis, but also reversal of adverse left ventricular remodeling. In addition to overcoming these challenges, a regenerative therapy needs to be safe and easily translatable. Failure to address these critical issues will delay the translation of regenerative approaches. This review critically analyzes current regenerative approaches while also providing a framework for future experimental studies aimed at enhancing success in regenerating the injured heart.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of deaths in the world. The intricacies of the cellular composition and tissue microenvironment in heart and vasculature complicate the dissection of molecular mechanisms of CVDs. Over the past decade, the rapid development of single-cell omics technologies generated vast quantities of information at various biological levels, which have shed light on the cellular and molecular dynamics in cardiovascular development, homeostasis and diseases. Here, we summarize the latest single-cell omics techniques, and show how they have facilitated our understanding of cardiovascular biology. We also briefly discuss the clinical value and future outlook of single-cell applications in the field.

Background and Objective: Corticosteroid resistance is a major barrier to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the exact mechanism of corticosteroid resistance in COPD has been less well studied.

Methods: The microarray dataset GSE11906, which includes genomic and clinical data on COPD, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using R software. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes (KEGG) were utilized to enrich and analyze the gene cohort related to the response to steroid hormones, respectively. The Connectivity Map (CMap) database was used to screen corticosteroid resistance-related drugs that might exert a potential therapeutic effect. STRING was used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the gene cohort, and the CytoHubba plug-in of Cytoscape was used to screen the hub genes in the PPI network. The expression levels of hub genes in cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-stimulated bronchial epithelial cells were assayed by quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting.

Results: Twenty-one genes were found to be correlated with the response to steroid hormones. In the CMap database, 32 small-molecule compounds that might exert a therapeutic effect on corticosteroid resistance in COPD were identified. Nine hub genes were extracted from the PPI network. The expression levels of the BMP4, FOS, FN1, EGFR, and SPP1 proteins were consistent with the microarray data obtained from molecular biology experiments. Scopoletin significantly restrained the increases in the levels of AKR1C3, ALDH3A1, FN1 and reversed the decreases of phosphorylated GR and HDAC2 caused by CSE exposure.

Conclusion: The BMP4, FOS, FN1, EGFR, and SPP1 genes are closely correlated with CSE-induced glucocorticoid resistance in airway epithelial cells. Scopoletin may be a potential drug for the treatment of glucocorticoid resistance caused by CSE.

Introduction: Retained foreign object (RFO) is a rare iatrogenic complication. This article presents an unprecedented case of a plastic RFO post-augmentation mammoplasty.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 32-year-old woman, 8 years after breast augmentation surgery, with a 4 year history of a palpable migrating mass in the superior lateral quadrant of her right breast with fluctuating levels of pain. Imaging studies included mammography tests, sonographic examinations, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan, and a Computed Tomography scan, all of which did not identify any pathological findings. Exploratory surgery discovered a syringe-tip cover in the implant pocket.

Conclusion: Persistent complaints and symptoms accompanied by non-specific imaging studies warrant escalation of diagnostic methods, in line with a high awareness for the possibility of an RFO. As pocket lavage is a common practice in various surgeries, this report can serve as a valuable reminder for surgical teams to account for syringe covers and other disposable items at the end of all operations.

On-farm experimentation (OFE) allows farmers to improve crop management over time. The randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) with field-length strips as individual plots is commonly used, but it requires advanced planning and has limited statistical power when only three to four replications are implemented. Harvester-mounted yield monitor systems generate high resolution data (1-s intervals), allowing for development of more meaningful, easily implementable OFE designs. Here we explored statistical frameworks to quantify the effect of a single treatment strip using georeferenced yield monitor data and yield stability-based management zones. Nitrogen-rich single treatment strips per field were implemented in 2018 and 2019 on three fields each on two farms in central New York. Least squares and generalized least squares approaches were evaluated for estimating treatment effects (assuming independence) versus spatial covariance for estimating standard errors. The analysis showed that estimates of treatment effects using the generalized least squares approach are unstable due to over-emphasis on certain data points, while assuming independence leads to underestimation of standard errors. We concluded that the least squares approach should be used to estimate treatment effects, while spatial covariance should be assumed when estimating standard errors for evaluation of zone-based treatment effects using the single-strip spatial evaluation approach.
