Today, additive technologies are common used in different areas of human life and economics. However, the aspects of technological support for various parameters of accuracy in products obtained with 3D printing are not yet fully understood. This study investigates the problems of ensuring the required output products’ characteristics through a comprehensive approach, considering equipment, technological modes, and the work process itself. The study employed quality management methods, mathematical statistics, and frequency analysis as research tools. During experimental studies, batches of parts were printed. The parameters of the part accuracy were then measured and analyzed. The authors also examined the issue of printer elements’ resonant vibrations frequencies on the printing process output parameters. The study demonstrated that eliminating these frequencies by tuning equipment drives improves the accuracy of the resulting products. Further research will explore the impact of printing modes on the accuracy of products and the parameters of vibrational processes in printer elements. Obtaining this data will allow for more efficient technological preparation of the production of this class of products.

Increased manganese concentration is characteristic not only of fresh water, but also of wastewater. Metal enters wastewater as a result of industrial activities such as manganese oxide ore beneficiation, galvanic cell production, and organic synthesis. Manganese compounds are strong poisons with pronounced cumulative effects. The effect leads to enzyme blockage, thyroid gland suppression, and accumulation in the liver and kidneys. Sorption method is used to remove manganese from natural water and industrial wastewater. This method can remove contaminants to any desired residual concentration. However, to mitigate the consequences of anthropogenic impact on the environment in the context of growing water consumption, the use of new, efficient materials is required. Currently, modified natural clay materials are being used for the purification of natural water and industrial wastewater. The authors investigated the extraction of manganese ions from aqueous solutions using modified diatomite. The diatomite was treated with a hydrochloric acid solution to increase the number of surface adsorption sites. Chemical modification of clay sorbents increases the pore space and specific surface area, which leads to an increase in sorption capacity. The experimental results showed an increase in the exchange capacity of the modified H-form: 1.45 mg/g compared to the native form – 0.63 mg/g. The values of maximum sorption capacity were 0.58 mg/g for the native form and 1.19 mg/g for the H-form. The optimal conditions for the sorption extraction of manganese ions were determined: 15.7 % for the native form and 63.2 % for the modified H-form.

Introduction. Chronic interstitial cystitis is considered a non-bacterial inflammation in the submucosal layer that is difficult to treat with traditional means due to the development of tissue hypoxia and activation of the peripheral nervous system involving a large number of pain receptors. Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of general magnetic and oxygen therapy in the treatment of chronic interstitial cystitis with severe pain. Materials and methods. The clinical study involved 17 women with chronic interstitial cystitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome who received a course of general magnetic and oxygen therapy. Quantitative criteria for clinical signs were evaluated using the questionnaire for assessing symptoms of diseases of the genitourinary system ‘OSZ - IPPS-MS’ before and after treatment. Results. A decrease in the absolute value of the "Irritativ symptom" scale of 65.2% was recorded. The score on the "Painful symptom" scale decreased by 9 times from its initial level, a significant decrease in the "score" of the "Psychosomatic symptom" scale by 63.75%. Reduction of the total score "Total score" at the end of the combined course of physiotherapeutic rehabilitation by 68.62%. The "Motivational scale" indicator at the end of treatment decreased by 62.50%, which corresponds to "awareness of the fact of the disease with a moderate degree of readiness to undergo treatment". This dynamic is explained by the improvement in the clinical and psychosomatic symptoms of the disease, and its moderate value at the end of treatment is associated with their motivation for subsequent regular preventive rehabilitation measures. Conclusion. The impact of general magnetic therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for interstitial cystitis is accompanied by a significant reduction in pain and irritative symptoms with an effective correction of psychoneurosomatic disorders.

Purulent-inflammatory diseases of the maxillary system remain one of the urgent problems in the work of dentists and maxillofacial surgeons due to the high frequency, increased severity and prevalence of the process, a tendency to relapse, and increased antibiotic resistance due to a long period of uncontrolled use of the latter by the population. The choice of the bisphosphonate-associated osteomyelitis model is due, on the one hand, to the widespread use of this group in a number of malignant neoplasms, osteoporosis, and, on the other, to the frequent development of osteonecrosis of the jaw as a complication of bisphosphonate therapy, which can occur after any surgical dental procedure. The undoubted advantage of this model is the relative simplicity of its execution technique, which does not require an expensive material and technical base, the use of highly pathogenic and highly contagious microorganisms, keeping animals in a bacteriological laboratory, and the safety of conducting experiments. Experimental modeling of bisphosphonate-associated osteomyelitis may reveal new aspects in the etiopathogenesis of diseases of the maxillofacial region and justify the correction of nondrug and pharmacotherapeutic approaches to the prevention and treatment of complications.

Objective. To identify the peculiarities of the clinical and anamnestic characteristics of first-time pregnant women with undeveloped pregnancy in a large industrial region by example of the southern agglomeration of Kuzbass. Material and methods. In the period from 01.09.2021 to 15.08.2023, 358 first-time pregnant women were observed. The main group included 172 patients with undeveloped pregnancy, the comparison group consisted of 186 women with physiologic labor. The study results were entered into MS Excel database and processed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27 program. The significance of differences was evaluated using Kolmogorov-Smirnov criteria with Lilliefors correction, Mann-Whitney, Pearson's chi-squared, and Fisher's test. Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05 Results. First-time pregnant women with undeveloped pregnancy were significantly less likely to have endocrine (p<0,001), respiratory (p<0,001), cardiovascular (p<0,001), gastrointestinal (p=0,007), thyroid (p=0,016), nervous system (p<0,001), visual (p<0,001) and urinary (p<0,001) diseases. At the same time, patients were significantly more likely to be unmarried (p<0.001), live in a ‘sleeping’ area of the city (p<0.001), suffer from algodismenorrhea (p=0.016), vulvovaginal candidiasis (p<0.001), and their vaginal microbiota was dominated by conditionally pathogenic microflora (p <0.001), elements of the removed fetal egg had inflammatory changes (p <0.001). Conclusions. The first undeveloped pregnancy in somatically healthy women of early reproductive age and in the absence of an aggravated obstetric and gynecologic history prompts the search for new pathogenetic mechanisms of failed gestation.

Introduction. The increase in the number of abdominal surgeries with laparostomy formation in recent years has been accompanied by an increase in the number of postoperative ventral hernias. Mortality in this category of patients ranges from 0.1 to 2.9% for planned surgeries and from 10 to 26% for strangulated hernias. One of the reasons is implant suppuration in the postoperative wound with subsequent septic complications and increasing antibiotic resistance of pathogenic microorganisms. Objective. To experimentally study the effectiveness of using the original fibrin composite to improve the adaptation of the mesh implant in the tissues of the anterior abdominal wall in the treatment of postoperative ventral hernias. Material and methods. The experimental in vitro study included studying the process and mechanisms of fibrin clot formation when various components to human plasma cryoprecipitate. The second stage of the study was to study the effect of surgical trauma and the introduced components of the fibrin composite on the formation of fibrous tissue. In a bacteriological laboratory, the risk of infection of a mesh implant treated with cryoprecipitate and its effect on E growth. Coli, St. Aureus, and P. Aureginosa colonies were studied. In the clinic, 60 patients with large postoperative ventral hernias were operated on, including 39 women and 21 men. In the main group, 30 patients underwent herniotomy and implant installation, and the original fibrin composite was applied. In the comparison group, 30 patients underwent a herniotomy in a modification of the Belokonev operation. The average age of the patients in both groups was 63±2.8 years. Results. When thrombin is added to the cryoprecipitate in in vitro experiments, a dense clot is formed which in the early stages is well modeled on a polypropylene mesh, subsequently forming a fibrin coating. The fibrin composite has a bacteriostatic effect, which helps to prevent infection and suppuration of the implant in the future. In the patients operated in the main group, the immediate postoperative period was without complications. In the comparison group, a long period of leukocytosis was observed in the postoperative period. Conclusions. The original fibrin composite has a bacteriostatic effect and prevents active microflora growth of microflora in the postoperative wound. The original fibrin composite covers the mesh implant, promoting rapid fibrous tissue. The use of this technology in the clinic is available in surgical practice and is not accompanied by the occurrence of complications.

Often, assuming the presence of an oncological process, it is tumor formation that leads to the development of biliary hypertension. At the same time, the flow of bile is disrupted, pressure increases in the intrahepatic ducts, and mechanical jaundice forms. The intensive introduction of modern high-tech devices into clinical practice has led to a new stage in the development of medicine. Minimally invasive surgical interventions are highly effective, do not require a long recovery period, create a minimal possibility of complications in the postoperative period, and accelerate the patient's recovery. Thus, the use of additional minimally invasive treatment methods (percutaneous transhepatic cholangiostomy with angiography and endovascular embolization of blood vessels) contributed to a faster positive treatment result and allowed the patient to be referred to a specialized hospital for further combined treatment at an early date.

Exploring The Perceptions and Use of Information and Communication Technology Tools Among High School Mathematics Teachers in The Northern Region of Ghana
Authors: Dogbey James , Kpadin Hannah Nayempuan
Published: October 2024

This study explored the extent to which senior high school mathematics teachers in the Northern Region of Ghana use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in teaching and learning mathematics. A descriptive survey design was employed for the investigation. Using a stratified sampling technique, 20 public high schools in the northern region of Ghana were selected for the study. A simple random sampling was used to select 100 teachers (i.e., 50 teachers from urban and 50 teachers from rural schools) from the 20 schools for the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. The findings revealed that the mathematics teachers’ perceived knowledge of the benefits of ICT usage for instructional delivery, assessment, and professional learning networks in mathematics were low compared to their actual usage of the ICTs for the same purposes. The findings suggest that the participants utilize ICTs more for social networking than for instructional delivery, assessment, and professional development in mathematics. Further, the findings showed a positive relationship between the teachers’ perceived knowledge of the benefits of ICTs usage for instructional delivery and their actual use of ICTs for instructional delivery. Mathematics teachers from urban schools use ICTs for all instructional purposes more than their peers from rural schools. Implications for ICT policies, teacher training, and professional development are provided.

The intensities of the Atmospheric bands of molecular oxygen Ivʹvʺ (cm–2s–1) in the nightglow of the Earth’s atmosphere are calculated for different latitudes and seasons. The calculations were performed using experimental data on the profiles of atomic oxygen concentrations for different seasons. The calculated integral intensities of Atmospheric bands are compared with experimental data obtained from the space shuttle (STS transport system), as well as from the Keck I telescope. It is shown that there is good agreement between theoretical calculations and experimental data for the considered latitudes, but better agreement is received with data obtained from Keck I telescope.

Authors: Uryson A. V.
Published: October 2024

The intensity of diffuse cascade gamma-ray emission produced in electromagnetic cascades when ultra-high energy cosmic rays propagate in extragalactic space is discussed. It is obtained that in the range of ~107—109 eV diffuse cascade gamma-ray spectra weakly depends on extragalactic magnetic field value. Thus, there is no need to refine extragalactic magnetic field models to estimate the intensity of cascade emission in this energy range.

Drawing on job demand and resource model and organization support theory, the study aims to investigate the proposed serial mediation in public sector employees in Pakistan. By examining the sequential relationships among perceived supervisor support, approach job crafting, thriving at work, and ultimately job satisfaction, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics within public sector organizations and offer insights for enhancing employee satisfaction. Based on cross sectional data from 369 public sector employees,Smart PLS 4andstructural equation modeling (SEM) wereemployedto analyze the data and study the serial mediation effect. Strong empirical evidence was found for all the proposed hypotheses. The findings indicated that stronger perceptions of supervisor support are associated with higher levels of job satisfaction among employees. Furthermore, approach job crafting and thriving at work mediate this relationship, highlighting theemployee behavior to actively shape theirroles and experiences at work. The findings show a path for public sector employees to capitalize on the antecedents to employee job satisfaction. Furthermore, it is suggested that public sector organizations should encourage active supervisor support to promote employee job satisfaction. In doing so, it is important to ensure that the employees are provided a workplace that pursues and encourages approach job crafting for enhanced levels of job satisfaction through thriving at work. This study expands theresearch on approach job crafting and sheds light on important conditions under which perceived supervisor support promotes job satisfaction in public sector employees in Pakistan. The study holds importance for public sector employees, supervisors and the public sector departments at large.

The results revealed that there is a significant link between child labour and the factors of poverty, illiteracy, and the growth of population.The results contribute significantly to the existing body of research and provide valuable insights for policymakers
What Are We Like: Is It a Matter of Genetic Inheritance or Not? A Systematic Review
Authors: Mariano Stefano
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND. Scientific literature in psychology considers personality as an organization of ways of being, knowing, and acting that ensures unity, coherence, and continuity, stability, and planning of the individual's relations with the world.

Personality is the outcome of two distinct constructs: Temperament and Character. So, personality is the result of the interaction between biological aspects (Temperament) and experiences of everyone in life, interacting with the environment[1].

Scientific literature now largely agrees that adversity in the early years of life has broad long-term consequences on the neuroendocrine, immune, and metabolic systems[2] as well as on neuroplasticity and neuronal morphology.

Here we analyze the hypothesis that maternal environmental factors (air and chemical pollutants, maternal health, eating behaviors, maternal and fetal stresses, caregivers' behaviors, etc.) can cause epigenetic alterations in the offspring during the prenatal that shape the trait's personality of the offspring themselves and that partially influence their.

METHODS. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was used to develop this systematic review. PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Biosis databases were searched for primary research articles published between 2010 and 2023 looking for English language articles containing the term "prenatal" and any of the following terms: "anxiety", "brain development", "depression", "gestation", "maternal health", "maternal stress", "mental health", "newborn health", "perinatal programming", "pregnancy", "prenatal stress", "resilience to stress", "transgenerational epigenetic inheritance", "personality", "personality trait", "environmental epigenetics". Relevant papers evaluating the relationship between maternal environmental factors and the personality traits of the offspring were subjected to a more thorough evaluation.

RESULTS, AND CONCLUSIONS. Among the 111 studies identified, only 3 met the primary question. There is evidence to support the hypothesis of correlations between environmental exposure during the intrauterine fetal period and personality traits of the newborn.

Limits: Multiple limitations were found based on the lack of research on this specific topic, although such a field of research can be important for developing effective strategies for primary prevention.

En este documento se presentan una serie de cuestionarios desarrollados y validados por el equipo de investigación para la evaluación del compromiso escolar y los factores de contexto más relevantes que influyen sobre el mismo (familia, profesorado y compañeros/as). El objetivo de este documento es poner a disposición de la sociedad en general los cuestionarios generados, para que puedan ser utilizados con fines de evaluación o investigadores, sin necesidad de solicitar permiso a los y las investigadoras que los han desarrollado, siempre y cuando no se trate de fines comerciales y se respete la autoría. En este sentido, solicitamos por favor referenciar adecuadamente las publicaciones científicas en las que se desarrollan, las que además recomendamos consultar para ampliar información. Los instrumentos generados se centran en la evaluación del compromiso escolar y de los factores contextuales que los facilitan. Estos han sido desarrollados/adaptados y validados para diferentes niveles educativos y en diferentes países. Complementariamente, además, también contamos con instrumentos adaptados y validados para poder ser usados simultáneamente tanto en contextos de enseñanza presencial como a distancia, trabajo que se realizó para adaptar la evaluación a los nuevos retos derivados de la pandemia por el Covid-19. Los instrumentos fueron desarrollados inicialmente para evaluar a estudiantes chilenos, abarcado actualmente los niveles de 5º básico a 4º medio, de forma presencial, y desde 5º a 8º básico para el contexto pandemia y postpandemia. En Perú, Colombia, Uruguay y España, contamos con versiones para modalidad educación presencial para los niveles equivales desde 7º básico a 3º medio en Chile. Para mayor claridad, hemos dividido este dosier en tres grandes apartados, el primero se realiza una breve introducción a los conceptos de compromiso escolar y factores contextuales, en el segundo nos centramos en el cuestionario de compromiso escolar, presentando todas las versiones que hemos desarrollado y validado, así como las instrucciones de corrección, y en el tercer apartado hacemos lo mismo en relación con el cuestionario de factores contextuales.
Cross-Sectionnal Patterns in Moroccan Sock Returns: A Fama-French Perspective
Authors: Benfeddoul Safae , Alaoui Taib Asmâa
Published: October 2024

Drawing on the Fama and French models, we examine the role of market factor (beta), fundamental characteristics (size, book-to-market, profitability and investment) and the momentum in explaining cross-sectional stock returns in the Moroccan market. The sample consists of non-financial stocks over the period from July 2008 to June 2020. In this research and for the first time, we contribute to the current body of asset pricing literature by embracing three different empirical methodologies. First, we use an adaptation of cross-sectional methodologies from Fama and MacBeth (1973) and Fama and French (1992). Second, we opt for portfolios as dependent variables to reduce potential estimation errors associated with individual stocks. Third, we specifically adjust for the errors-in-variables issue using the methodology proposed by Brennan et al. (1998). Our results indicate that beta coefficients are statistically insignificant in both first and second methodologies. Furthermore, none of the characteristic’s variables meet the criteria for a good explanatory variable, as they fail to consistently exhibit a significant level of significance in all cases. Generally, the momentum factor emerges as the most promising variable. We conclude that the tested models are incomplete in explaining variations in Moroccan stock returns. Even after adjusting for model risk, some effects persist.
