Published: January 2025

Introduction: Intussusception in adults, especially when caused by Meckel's Diverticulum, is a rare occurrence, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea, making it challenging to diagnose. When concurrent with conditions like diabetes mellitus, the situation need particular care. Case Illustration: A 27-year-old male with a medical history of diabetes presented with severe right abdominal pain, nausea, and a reduced appetite. Initial symptomatic treatment did not alleviate the condition. Subsequent CT scans revealed an ileo-ileal intussusception triggered by Meckel's Diverticulum and partial high obstruction ileus, leading to surgical intervention. Discussion: Ileo-ileal resection (end to end anastomosis) and adhesiolysis surgery were successfully performed, followed by vigilant postoperative monitoring for complications, effective pain management, maintenance of drain patency, and careful glucose level monitoring. The patient's significant postoperative improvement underscores the importance of early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention in managing Meckel's Diverticulum-induced intussusception in adults. Conclusion: The clinical course also highlighted the importance of tailoring postoperative care considering the patient's comorbidities, in this case, diabetes mellitus. This case served as a reminder for clinicians to consider Meckel's Diverticulum as a potential cause of intussusception in adults presenting with abdominal pain.

The purpose of research is to scientifically substantiate the optimal layout of the raw material conveyor in the Astrakhan Region. Objectives: development of a raw material conveyor scheme, study of the duration of interphase periods of joint crops of grain and leguminous crops, assessment of the yield of raw material conveyor crops. Research was carried out in the Kamyzyaksky District of the Astrakhan Region in 2020–2022. The raw material conveyor scheme included three groups of crops, differing in terms of harvesting. Research results have shown that when harvesting winter grain crops in the first ten days of May, you can get up to 25.5 t/ha of green mass. When sowing alfalfa in the second ten days of September, the first cutting can be done in the third ten days of May with a yield of 27.2 t/ha of green mass. Millet is usually ready for cutting in the second ten days of June; the yield of green mass on average over 3 years was 9.5 t/ha. From crops of Sudanese grass, an early harvest was obtained from 1 cutting – 19.0 t/ha of green mass in the third ten days of July. Soybean reached mowing ripeness by the end of the third decade of July, the average yield for three years was 23.1 t/ha. Joint crops of corn and soybeans were harvested in the waxy ripeness phase in the 1st ten days of August, the yield of green mass reached 51 t/ha. The yield of joint crops of sweet sorghum and soybeans was at the level of 40.8 t/ha. When sown in the second ten days of May, the yield of safflower by the end of the first ten days of August on average over 3 years amounted to 21.1 t/ha of green mass, 4.4 t/ha of chickpea grain was obtained by the beginning of the second ten days of August. When sowing melons in the first half of May, harvesting was carried out in the second ten days of August. On average, over three years, the maximum yield was obtained from fodder pumpkin – 40.2 t/ha.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of research is to study, systematize and summarize the available scientific data on the effect of the leptin gene on the duration of economic use of cattle over the past ten years. This paper presents the results of scientific research on the effect of polymorphisms A80V, Y7F and R25C on the duration of use of animals in agriculture. Polymorphisms R25C and Y7F occur in the second, and A80V – in the third exon of the leptin gene. Research has linked the R25C site to milk protein content, milk fat content, calving ease, and pregnancy duration. The CC genotype is associated with a greater risk of culling in cows. The Y7F site is associated with animal viability, and the FF genotype has a higher risk of culling. The LEP-A80V site affects the duration of animal management and the level of profitability. Cows with the VV genotype have a higher risk of culling than cows with the AA genotype. Assessment of the influence of the leptin gene must be carried out comprehensively across all loci, and not just one. Assessing the combined effect of a gene at three loci allows for a more refined analysis of the animal’s potential. Studies show that the YY genotype predominates at the Y7F site, and genotypes with the F allele are washed out of the population. Most often in domestic farms, the heterozygous genotype of the R25C site is found, but the RR genotype has a positive effect on the longevity of animals. Genotypes AA and AV are more common on the A80V site, the frequency of occurrence of the unfavorable genotype VV is lower. Thus, studying the effect of leptin gene polymorphisms on the economic use of cattle is an important area of scientific research in agriculture. Research results make it possible to predict the duration of use of animals and increase the profitability of agricultural enterprises.

The purpose of research is to study the anatomical and topographical features of the testis, epididymis, and vas deferens in Californian breed rabbits. The studies were carried out at the Department of Anatomy, Histology, Physiology and Pathological Anatomy and the University Veterinary Clinic of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education Omsk State Agrarian University using the X-R StaticExamionclassic X-DR XL digital radiographic system. The objects of the study were sexually mature male rabbits. According to X-ray studies, the testis is visualized as an elongated oval-shaped formation. When located in the testicular sac, the right testis is localized at the level of the middle third of the second caudal vertebra to the cranial third of the seventh caudal vertebra, and the edge of the capitate end of the left testis is displaced to the cranial third of the second caudal vertebra. In the abdominal cavity, the right testis is localized at the level from the middle third of the sixth lumbar vertebra to the iliopubic eminence. The left testis is displaced to the cranial third of the seventh lumbar vertebra. The epididymis of the testis on the radiograph appears as a conical formation, tapering towards the caudate end with a large number of curls. The ductsdeferentis have a complex, tortuous course. Coming from the tail of the appendage at the level of the second caudal vertebra, they turn each at an obtuse angle, follow to the cranial third of the body of the iliac bone of the pelvis, where they turn sharply at an acute angle, follow laterally, then caudally, uniting with the excretory duct of the vesicular gland into the ejaculatory canal. Both ducts open into the urogenital canal near the seminiferous colliculus. The length of the right testis and its appendage is 3.63 ± 0.06 cm, width – 1.70 ± 0.10 cm, cross-sectional area of the testis and its appendage – 4.56 ± 0.24 cm2. The length of the left testis is 3.62 ± 0.13 cm, width – 1.67 ± 0.17 cm, cross-sectional area of the testis and its appendage – 4.26 ± 0.15 cm2.

Published: January 2025

This work is a logical continuation of our research to study the content of heavy metals in the muscles of bream from areas of the Rybinsk Reservoir, which differ in the magnitude of anthropogenic load. The purpose of this study is to assess the risks associated with the duration of exposure to heavy metals (cadmium, lead, aluminum, chromium, copper, manganese, iron and cobalt) on human health when consuming bream from the Rybinsk Reservoir. Objectives: to calculate target hazard ratios based on the content of heavy metals previously detected in bream muscles. The object of the study is sexually mature, approximately the same size individuals of bream (n=40), caught by trawl from the Sheksninsk and Volzhsk reaches. Risk assessment was carried out by calculation methods of determining the target and total hazard coefficients, target and total cancer risk indexes and comparing them with acceptable limits. The results of the study indicate that there is no potential non-carcinogenic risk to human health from heavy metals, since the values of the target and total hazard coefficient for all elements were below 1. No carcinogenic risk was found for lead, however, when consuming bream meat, the risk of cancer from cadmium, aluminum and chromium is more than 1 in 100,000. The overall cancer risk index exceeds the acceptable threshold (1x10-4) and is in the unacceptable risk zone, which needs to be adjusted. The values of the studied coefficients and indices in most cases turned out to be higher in the Sheksninsk reach compared to the Volzhsk reach.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of research is to establish the patterns of formation of weediness in crops depending on agricultural technologies and varietal composition of barley in forest-steppe agricultural landscapes of the Omsk Region. The studies were carried out in a long-term (2006–2021) stationary grain-fallow crop rotation on the trailing crop – barley and short-term experiments. The spring barley varieties Omsky 90, Sasha, and 5 brewing varieties were sown. It has been established that a more weedy agrophytocenosis is formed using extensive agricultural technology with zero tillage (on average up to 620 g/m2 – 44.2 %). With complex chemicalization, the biomass of barley increases by 2 times (from 752 to 1534 g/m2) while the weed component decreases by 4.2 times (from 44.1 to 10.6 %), with a predominance of bluegrass – 81–83 %. The relationship between barley yield and the biomass and number of dicotyledonous weeds is negative (up to 67–81 %). With the integrated use of chemical agents, plant damage by root rot is reduced by 19.8 %, leaf diseases of the upper tier of barley leaves, a decrease in the development of reticulate film – from 20.6 to 11.4 %, helminthosporiosis – from 10.3 to 5.8 %, brown rust – from 5.9 to 1.6 %. With intensive agricultural technology, the winner is resource-saving combined tillage in crop rotation (alternating moldboard and flat-cut) with a yield of 3.40 t/ha, the Beatrice variety – 2.74 t/ha with a protein content of less than 12 %.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of research is to analyze the general and specific combining ability of soft spring wheat based on the trait “grain weight per spike” in the conditions of the Priob forest-steppe of the Altai Region. The experiment was conducted in 2020–2021 using pure fallow on the experimental field of the Federal Altai Scientific Center for Agrobiotechnology, located in the Priob forest-steppe of the Altai Region. The work studied the combinative ability of varieties and lines of soft spring wheat for the trait “grain weight per main spike” according to a topcrossing scheme consisting of 13 maternal and 3 paternal forms. The weather conditions during the years of the experiment are characterized. It has been established that the level of manifestation and the nature of inheritance of the trait under consideration, as well as the effects of general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combinative ability, largely depend on environmental conditions and the analyzed generation of hybrids (F1 and F2). The dominant contribution to the total dispersion of spike grain weight is made by year conditions (97.8 %), followed by genotypic characteristics (2.1 %) and their general interaction (0.1 %). The leading role in the system of genetic control of a trait belongs to genes with an additive type of action, with a small contribution from non-additive gene effects. The varieties and lines of test crosses differed significantly in the analyzed trait. On average, over 2 years of research, the following varieties differed in higher spike grain weight among maternal forms: Omskaya 42, Lutescens 186/04-6 and Lutescens 6/04-4 (with values from 1.45 to 1.95 g), and among paternal forms – Lider 80 (with values from 1.31 to 2.03 g). Valuable combinations of crosses with high expression of the studied trait have been selected, which are promising both in terms of selection of the desired genotypes in early generations of hybrids, and in terms of direct use in recurrent selection when creating new commercial varieties.

Titanium and its alloys are amongst the most effective and commonly used biomaterials for the production of dental implants. But, in order to ensure long term success of these implants, surface modification techniques that improve osseointegration and prevent bacterial colonization are highly required. Until now, a variety of surface modification methods were proposed, the most basic ones involving mechanical or chemical processing to increase the roughness coefficient thus favoring osseointegration. However, this is not enough to prevent the common implant-related complications such as peri-implantitis. Therefore, an increased research interest was directed towards the development of functional coatings that can be tailored to both enhance osseointegration and prevent bacterial infections. This review aims to present the currently available titanium-based implants modification methods along with their main benefits and drawbacks. For a better understanding of the subject, the chemical structure and surface characteristics of titanium-based dental implants, and the main causes of implant failure were presented. Moreover, current trends such as nano-scale surface roughening and 3D printing of dental implants were also mentioned.

O Pantanal é um bioma dependente do fogo com um regime natural de inundação, criando uma região com características peculiares que moldaram seu meio ambiente, sua biodiversidade, seus habitantes e a maneira como eles vivem: intimamente ligada à dinâmica natural do local. O fogo tem sido utilizado no Pantanal como ferramenta de manejo de paisagens há milhares de anos pela população indígena e, à medida em que a região foi sendo ocupada por outros grupos, o conhecimento foi passado para os novos habitantes, os fazendeiros. Essas práticas estão incorporadas nas tradições e no modo de vida local, chegando ao ponto de se tornarem um aspecto importante do patrimônio cultural do Pantanal. Entretanto, mudanças culturais e na ocupação e uso da terra nos últimos 50-60 anos têm gerado impactos significativos que ameaçam a sustentabilidade da região e o futuro do bioma.

A Hierarchical Software Quality Model for Estimating Function Point Analysis
Authors: Matalkah Bassem , El-Adaileh Nadeem , Hajaya Moaath Khamaysa
Published: January 2025

Research indicates that the method of scaling software according to the quantity of business functions an application needs to complete is called function point analysis (FPA). As a result, a model that guarantees the quality attributes of such systems is required. An information system's functional size can be determined using the Function Point Analysis (FPA) approach. While there are several quality methodologies now in use for estimating FPA in general, none of them are specifically focused on Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA). This contribution includes a study of an analysis carried out on multiple approaches for different function points: ISO/IEC 20926:2003 International Function Point Users Group (IFPUG), ISO/IEC 20968:2002 Software engineering Mk II Function Point Analysis, ISO/IEC 19761:2011 Common Software Measurement International Consortium (COSMIC), and ISO/IEC 29881:2010 Functional Size Measurement method (FiSMA 1.1). The study also lists the drawbacks of the current methodologies, including their propensity to overlook specific Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) features like Accuracy, Security, Time Behavior, and Recoverability or their omission of a description of the methods used for quality measurement. This investigation leads to the development of a new software quality model that includes newly defined sets of sub-characteristics that are associated with a standard set of quality characteristics that are acceptable for estimating FPA components. The new software quality model matches the right kind of stakeholders with related quality attributes, avoiding some of the drawbacks of the previous approaches. The Software Quality Model (SQM) aims to help companies with the process of creating systems for Function Point Analysis (FPA) estimation, which is essential to the success of Software Project Management (SPM).

Published: January 2025

Education is an important component in defining the overall development of a country. It is also a significant tool for achieving success in life. One of the important aspects influencing any educational institution's success is its students' academic achievement. In educational institutions, student dropout is a complex problem. Educational managers consider it vital to predict a student's risk of dropping out as soon as possible. It still needs to be easier to predict accurately in advance. The major problems in the present research work include overfitting in a predictive model, complex variable relationships, insufficient feature extraction, and data pre-processing complexity. The key goal of this study is to improve student achievement, decrease the number of dropouts, create support plans, and constantly modify these plans based on ongoing progress monitoring. Specifically, this research aims to identify at-risk students early using machine learning algorithms, allowing educational institutions to take timely and targeted interventions. Identifying the student's needs early in their time with you will ensure that vulnerable students get the support they need, help prevent dropout rates from increasing, and significantly benefit their general academic performance. In this work, the King Abdulaziz University database was used. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is heavenly for understanding the characteristics of the data, identifying anomalies, recognizing trends, and directing further data pre-treatment procedures. Genetic Algorithm-optimized Latent Dirichlet Allocation (GA-LDA) is used for feature extraction. We utilize canopy clustering with a Gaussian Flow Optimizer (GFO) for accurate student grouping. Finally, a hybrid Logistic Regression-K-Nearest Neighbour (LR-KNN) technique is used for data classification. Accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, sensitivity, and specificity metrics were used to examine the proposed model.
Era cuestión de tiempo: Croacia ante el Tribunal de Justicia de la UE por violación de la independencia judicial
Authors: Sanz Caballero Susana
Published: January 2025

En el artículo se analiza el primer caso que ha estudiado el TJUE por violación de la independencia judicial en Croacia. Partiendo de la base que supuso y los principios que estableció el caso de los jueces portugueses en materia de independencia de los jueces, Estado de Derecho y tutela judicial efectiva, el manuscrito introduce la problemática general que envuelve al poder judicial croata, que ni es percibido en las encuestas como confiable, ni tampoco cosecha mucho entusiasmo en el Cuadro de Indicadores de la Justicia que publica anualmente la Comisión Europea. A partir de estos antecedentes, el trabajo entra a analizar la sentencia Hann Invest et al, tres asuntos acumulados de los que conoce el Tribunal Superior de lo Mercantil de Croacia, que generaron a este último tribunal duda sobre su compatibilidad con el Derecho de la Unión Europea y, en concreto, con el artículo 19 TUE y el artículo 47 de la Carta de Derechos Fundamentales. El manuscrito realiza un análisis en paralelo de lo que establecen las Conclusiones del Abogado General y el Tribunal de Justicia en su Sentencia en relación a la competencia del Tribunal de Justicia, la admisibilidad del caso y el fondo del asunto. Del trabajo comparado que se lleva a cabo de Conclusiones y Sentencia se colige que, en esta ocasión, ambos textos no coinciden. Donde el Abogado General no ve razón para la admisión del asunto ni violación del TUE, la Sentencia ve lo contrario. Sin embargo, llama la atención el tono constructivo de la Sentencia que, en un ejemplo de activismo judicial y creación jurídica, indica a las autoridades croatas cómo reformar el mecanismo procesal -cuyo origen está en la Yugoslavia de Tito-, que considera incompatible con el Derecho de la Unión.
HELPING OR HINDERING EACH OTHER: SOME NUANCED PERSPECTIVES OF SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING
Authors: CHAMETZKY BARRY
Published: January 2025

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is a broad and very popular topic in research. Within SEL, there are five interconnected components that must be understood to help each of us achieve a higher degree of self-awareness and improved interpersonal relationship with our fellow human beings. Some of the SEL behaviors discussed in this paper, though, are not always what they appear to be. These behaviors may be traumagenic in nature so an element of manipulation may be present unbeknownst to the other person in the conversation. Additionally, elements of social emotional learning can be used with doctoral candidates to help combat the disturbingly high attrition rates. In light of SEL, through an understanding of the AREA acronym, we faculty members, can also explore ways to help doctoral candidates succeed in their studies thereby helping to reduce attrition rates.

The study determined how social media sponsored content marketing influences the repeat buying intention of beauty soap products among working millennials. Specifically, it determined the relationship between socio-demographic factors, participants’ perceptions of social media marketing, and their repurchase behavior. Key factors considered include content authenticity, disclosure transparency, credibility, audience engagement, content dilemma, value proposition, content personalization, brand awareness, interaction, credibility and trust, and promotion and offers. The study also examined the socio-demographic profile of participants, including age, sex, civil status, monthly income, types of soap products purchased, and frequency of use. The study used a descriptive research design, where the data was collected through a survey handed physically to the participants. The participants were 150 working millennials from Tanza, Cavite, selected using purposive, quota, and convenience sampling techniques. Further, the results showed that social media sponsored content significantly impacted participants’ emotional connection to beauty soap products and their intention to repurchase. Most participants were young, working female millennials, single, minimum-wage earners, using beauty soap products twice daily. They found social media marketing effective in influencing repurchase decisions, especially considering their busy lifestyles. Factors such as sex, frequency of social media exposure, and brand preferences were significant in shaping repurchase intentions. The study concluded that beauty soap brands should prioritize authentic, engaging, and transparent content that addresses customer concerns and highlights product quality. Future research could explore the role of audience engagement and trust in repurchase intentions across different demographics. Businesses can apply these insights to refine their digital marketing strategies. Furthermore, collaborating with influencers aligned with the target audience can help the enhancement of brand credibility and extend the reach of sponsored content. Moreover, studies could investigate the effects of different social media platforms on consumer behavior, providing insights for more targeted marketing strategies.

Authors: Lyashenko V. , Kuznecov V. , Ilchyshyn V. , Dyrman Yu.
Published: January 2025

The article presents the experimental results of determining the compliance of the EMVS-Bobcat T590 metal detector with the requirements of the Procedure for the Implementation of the Experimental Project on the Implementation of Mandatory Certification of Mechanized Demining Means (Humanitarian Demining), Related Products, components, and equipment, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 08.03.2024 No. 271 (hereinafter - Resolution of the CMU dated 08.03.2024 No. 271).Almost 144,000 km² of the country's territory is contaminated with explosive objects, no country in the world has been contaminated by such a presence of explosive objects on its territory, that is why at present Ukraine is forming an algorithm for mine action for the whole world for the next 20-40 years. In our country, humanitarian demining takes place during the active phase of the war with the risk of repeated contamination of the territory, so what is happening now is grinding international approaches to the latest reality of today.The introduction of the latest technologies in the field of humanitarian demining expands the possibilities of modern demining systems and causes changes in the nature, forms and methods of its implementation, therefore the task of humanitarian demining of territories from explosive objects is relevant today.In order to carry out humanitarian demining measures within the framework of the legal framework of Ukraine, experimental studies of mechanized demining means of domestic and foreign production are carried out in order to carry out mandatory certification of products and their approval for supply to the components of the Security and Defense Forces of UkraineThe conducted experimental research confirms that the EMVS-Bobcat T590 metal detector can be certified for conducting humanitarian demining operations on the territory of Ukraine in the area of detecting anti-tank mines.
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO FORECASTING SOURCES OF MILITARY THREATS TO ENSURING THE MILITARY SECURITY OF UKRAINE
Authors: Bashynsky V. , Kliat Yu. , Trystan A.
Published: January 2025

The article proposes a methodological approach to forecasting the sources of military threats to ensure the military security of Ukraine. The methodological approach is based on forecasting the state of the international situation, the military-political situation and their interrelationships. Taking into account the trends in the development of modern civilization until 2035, it is proposed to take into account a number of key factors, namely: the influence of government structures as subjects of IDPs; the role of non-state actors; global trends in political, economic, information, communication and scientific and technological development. Two important megatrends are considered: demographic problems and the growing demand for food and resources. To solve the problem of forecasting the sources of military conflicts, a number of directions are proposed, namely: the creation of effective infrastructure; integration of modern technologies; development of a flexible management system; creation of a network of international cooperation.
TWO YEARS OF STRUGGLE AGAINST THE MEANS OF AIR AND SPACE ATTACK OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN THE WAR AGAINST UKRAINE
Authors: Kucherenko Yu. , Nosyk A. , Kamak D. , Zakirov Z.
Published: January 2025

The article presents some signs of the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and analyzes the use of air and space attack means by the Russian Federation troops, in particular ballistic and cruise missiles, aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles in the period from 24.02.22 to 24.02.24 at different stages, which differ in the tactics of their use and the performance of certain tasks. It is determined that the main direction of the use of air and space attack capabilities of the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine remains the integrated use of cruise and ballistic missiles of various types and unmanned aerial vehicles for various purposes in the course of massive strikes on critical infrastructure of the country, as well as intensive air strikes to provide air support to enemy ground forces in their offensive operations. Between massive strikes, we should expect complex targeted (group) strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles of various types on the military and civilian infrastructure of the country in order to reduce the potential of the military-industrial complex, disrupt the functioning of the energy infrastructure and exert psychological influence on the minds of citizens and the military and political leadership of the country.This material is recommended for use by the operational personnel of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during preparation and conduct of combat operations in order to plan and implement measures to ensure effective counteraction to the means of the Russian Federation's CBRN forces in order to protect important state facilities of the country and troops on the battlefield.
PROBLEMS OF LOW-RESOURCE ENCRYPTION FOR CONTROLLING UNMANNED COMPLEXES
Authors: Rudnytskyi V. , Larin V. , Husak M.
Published: January 2025

The article considers the problem of building a low-resource post-quantum control system in swarms of unmanned systems, which are resistant to external interference, taking into account the requirements for technical support of information protection in a time regime close to real. It is shown that the solution to the specified problem of protection of the information resource circulating in the network is proposed to be performed on the basis of stream encryption technologies using cryptographic transformation operations (CET operations). A mathematical description of the CET operation is provided, which is a numbered set of elementary functions, each of which forms the corresponding output Ci-quantum of information based on the processing of input Ci-quantums of information. The classification of the CET operation is carried out by the number of operands and by the number of Ci-quantums of encoded information. Encryption consists in the sequential bitwise addition modulo two of information and a pseudo-random sequence.The main requirement for the possibility of using any operation in a crypto algorithm is the presence of an inverse transformation operation. The use of CET operations allows to significantly increase the number of cryptographic transformations on the basis of which crypto algorithms are built. The use of low-resource encryption allows to take into account the tactical, operational, economic and ergonomic characteristics of control systems of unmanned complexes. Variants of converting two bits of information are considered. SET operations are built on the basis of combining discrete representations of columns of the original data of the truth tables of operations. The problem of creating low-resource cryptographic systems for protecting information in swarms of BPC is considered. The results of the synthesis of symmetric SET operations and crypto algorithms based on them are studied for compliance with the requirements for protected information systems.
