Velame das orquídeas como parâmetro de estudo hidrológico aplicado a fachadas de edifícios
Authors: Nascimento Amanda Soares do , Pirró Lúcia Fernanda de Souza
Published: May 2024

A urbanização em constante crescimento tem gerado diversos impactos ambientais nas cidades, sendo um deles a interferência no ciclo hidrológico, podendo ter impactos significativos na disponibilidade hídrica. Diante desse cenário, surgem alternativas sustentáveis para lidar com a problemática, como o biomimetismo, baseando-se em soluções encontradas na natureza para desenvolver tecnologias mais eficientes. Com base na adaptação das orquídeas ao estresse hídrico, esta pesquisa propõe a biomimetização dos velames presentes em suas raízes, para o desenvolvimento de uma tipologia de elemento de fachada que possa ser aplicada em edifícios, com o objetivo de contribuir para a recuperação de parte dos processos hidrológicos da natureza e fazer reserva hídrica. Com isso, o desenvolvimento da pesquisa resultou no design de um protótipo de captação de água para fachadas, inspirado na estratégia de captação dos velames das orquídeas, utilizando os softwares Rhinoceros e Grasshopper com o objetivo de oferecer uma solução inovadora e sustentável para os desafios enfrentados pela urbanização.

Published: May 2024

El presente trabajo estudia la amenaza asociada a diversos escenarios de cambio climático (CC) en el riesgo de inundaciones en el sistema hidrológico no-típico “Las Encadenadas”, ubicado al sur de la provincia de Santa Fe en Argentina. Las herramientas y metodologías utilizadas son fundamentadas en la geomática. Respecto a representaciones del comportamiento del sistema, es utilizado un modelo hidrológico-hidráulico distribuido, físicamente basado. Como principales resultados, es lograda la cuantificación y mapeo de superficies de agua y caudales, la permanencia del agua superficial y su cercanía a ejidos urbanos y redes viales, para recurrencias con y sin consideración del efecto por CC. Para las condiciones más desalentadoras: recurrencia de 100 años, suelo cuasi-saturado y coeficiente de CC de 1.30; se obtuvo un 19.92% de superficie del sistema ocupada con agua, caudales pico del orden de los 320 m³/s en la sección de cierre, un escurrimiento del agua del 11.6% en las primeras 24 horas y un total de 202 tramos de redes viales con agua en proximidades. Se obtuvo una nueva delimitación del sistema y se realizaron mejoras en la zonificación y regulación del uso del suelo en áreas inundables de diversos pueblos, de acuerdo con Ley N° 11730.

INFLUXO DA ESCOLA DE FRANKFURT NO PENSAMENTO DECOLONIAL: BREVE ANÁLISE SOBRE A TEORIA CRÍTICA
Authors: Vasconcelos Carlos Alberto de , Santos Percy Daniel Arce
Published: May 2024

O presente trabalho visa apresentar a influência da chamada Escola de Frankfurt sobre o esboço analítico e metodológico do pensamento decolonial latino-americano. Para isso, foi abordada uma breve análise histórica da chamada Teoria Crítica dos pensadores frankfurtianos, principalmente Horkheimer e Adorno e suas análises críticas da sociedade de consumo do Ocidente, procurando abordar de que maneira aquela teoria influenciou as análises posteriores de autores decoloniais, com menção especial a Aníbal Quijano e sua teoria da Colonialidade do poder e Edgardo Lander com sua teoria da Colonialidade do saber. Dessa forma, será demonstrado que a influência de uma parte da teoria crítica se encontra presente no arcabouço teórico dos pensadores decoloniais, sobretudo, na sua crítica ao eurocentrismo e ao neoliberalismo.
INSTITUIÇÃO DE ENSINO SUPERIOR: ANÁLISE SOBRE O SEU PAPEL PARA A INOVAÇÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: De Moura Paulo Roberto , Freire Patricia de Sá Freire
Published: May 2024

Com as mudanças que ocorrem na sociedade, o papel das IES publica tornam-se mais relevantes, tendo que se reinventar em sua estrutura e processos, gerando novas competências na tríade educacional (professor, instituição e alunos). Foram encontrados poucos estudos sobre o papel das IES publicas para a inovação à luz da neoaprendizagem. Para contribuir com o avanço científico sobre o tema, buscou-se identificar os papéis das IES para a inovação na educação, contribuindo com o alcance do objetivo geral da pesquisa. Foi realizada uma pesquisa teórica, bibliográfica, com revisão integrativa da literatura, onde identificou-se esses papéis, como: ambiente dinâmico, instituição orgânica e descentralizada, entender dos estilos de aprendizagens, modificar a forma de ensinar e levar para dentro das salas de aula novos métodos de ensino. Como resultado, as IES que estão abertas para a inovação e bebem dela se reestruturam e inovam. Entretanto, precisam estar preparadas para esta mudança, assumindo o novo papel de promotora de educação inovadora. Os principais autores que nortearam esta pesquisa foram: Freire, Silva e Silva (2021), que falam sobre a importância de as organizações estarem preparadas para estas mudanças, enquanto Bresolin, Freire e Pacheco (2021) comentam que todos nós somos ensinantes e aprendentes. Por sua vez, Kolb (1984) traz os modelos de aprendizagens, e Watson e Singh (2022) determinam o papel das IES inovadoras. Por fim, Silva et al. (2020) destaca que esta mudança, desenvolve em seus ensinantes e aprendentes o conhecimento.
RECLAME AQUI: UMA EXPRESSÃO DO PLURALISMO JURÍDICO NA ERA DIGITAL
Authors: Marinho Corrêa Daniel
Published: May 2024

Este artigo parte da intersecção sociais entre Direito e Economia, reconhecendo as divergências resultantes de seus diferentes ritmos de evolução. Inspirado na observação de Ferdinand Lassalle sobre a discrepância entre a realidade social e o Direito, investiga-se se o site "Reclame Aqui" pode ser considerado um exemplo prático do pluralismo jurídico na sociedade brasileira contemporânea. Adotando o método dedutivo, o estudo avalia a viabilidade dessa hipótese à luz do modelo estabelecido pelo Estado e pelo comando político-jurídico delineado na Constituição de 1988. O objetivo central do artigo é compreender se esse canal específico de resolução de conflitos no contexto do consumo pode ser interpretado como uma manifestação do pluralismo jurídico, expandindo assim a concepção do Direito para além das normas oficialmente positivadas. Ao examinar essa plataforma como um meio de gerenciamento de conflitos no âmbito do consumo, propõe-se que sua análise oferece uma via para compreender o pluralismo jurídico e o Direito numa perspectiva mais abrangente, que ultrapassa os limites dos preceitos legais formalmente estabelecidos.

Authors: Sarmento Elisângela Campos Damasceno , Moura Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de
Published: May 2024

O romance A Bagaceira, de José Américo de Almeida, e o poema narrativo-dramático Morte e Vida Severina, de João Cabral de Melo Neto, inserem-se no Modernismo brasileiro e incitam uma reflexão acerca das relações ser humano-ambiente. Nesse contexto, este manuscrito apresenta o objetivo de analisar o cruzamento das supracitadas obras, levando em conta a perspectiva Ecocrítica, com o fito de identificar evidências inter e transdisciplinares, tendo em vista um ensino integrado de ciências na Educação Superior, intercambiado por Metodologias Ativas. Para tanto, o método utilizado nesta pesquisa foi a análise do discurso de linha francesa, segundo Michel Pêcheux (2006). Como principais resultados, sinaliza-se que a Ecocrítica e as Metodologias Ativas caracterizam-se como profícuas ferramentas a uma práxis inter e transdisciplinar de ciências na Educação Superior. Portanto, tais abordagens suscitam um saber e um fazer pedagógico, que se assentam na solidariedade epistêmica, fortalecendo, assim, a possiblidade de um ensino integrado de ciências.

Machado de Assis em duas perspectivas: Roberto Schwarz e Silviano Santiago
Authors: Bittencourt Thiago
Published: May 2024

Nesse artigo analisamos as produções Ao vencedor as batatas e Fisiologia da composição, de Roberto Schwarz e Silviano Santiago, ambas dizem respeito à obra de Machado de Assis. Como objetivo propomos compreender quais as diferenças e perspectivas possíveis nas análises desenvolvidas pelos dois estudiosos em seus textos. No primeiro, Schwarz (1981) dedica-se ao estudo da produção machadiana da primeira fase, a partir do ponto de vista sociológico, pois inicialmente percebe que há influência europeia no romance brasileiro do século XIX, da qual Machado de Assis se aproveitaria. Logo, haveria nos romances do escritor do Cosme Velho um confronto entre forma literária e estrutura social, em que se verifica a disparidade de classes sociais na formação do Brasil, sobretudo pela relação do favor que permeia a sociedade. Já Santiago (2020), mais recentemente, demonstra interesse pela relação entre forma literária e grafia-de-vida, entre a escritura e a doença do autor carioca. Dessa forma, situa sua análise não na saída do túnel da criação, mas na entrada, na fisiologia da composição, ou seja, o escritor mineiro direciona suas hipóteses sobre a possível influência do corpo doente pela epilepsia de Machado de Assis na versatilidade de sua escrita literária.
Penatalaksanaan Atresia Koana Unilateral
Authors: Murdiyantono Emi Kardani , Perkasa Muh. Fadjar
Published: May 2024

Atresia koana adalah tertutupnya salah satu atau kedua rongga hidung posterior oleh membran atau tulang yang tidak normal. Hal ini terjadi karena kegagalan embriologis membran bukal untuk membelah sebelum kelahiran. Insiden atresia koana adalah 1 kasus per 5000–8000 kelahiran. Atresia koana unilateral lebih sering terjadi (75%) dibandingkan atresia koana bilateral. Ada tipe tulang dan tipe membran. Angka kejadian pada wanita dua kali lebih besar dibandingkan pada pria. Obstruksi koana unilateral kadang-kadang tidak menunjukkan gejala saat lahir namun selanjutnya akan menyebabkan obstruksi drainase hidung kronis unilateral pada masa kanak-kanak, sedangkan atresia koana bilateral termasuk keadaan gawat darurat saat kelahiran. Seorang anak laki-laki berusia 6 tahun dengan keluhan utama rinorea pada hidung sebelah kiri sejak 6 tahun yang lalu (sejak lahir), terdapat sumbatan hidung. Pada pemeriksaan rinoskopi anterior, tidak terdapat koana pada rongga hidung kiri. Tes dengan kapas yang diletakkan di depan hidung, tidak terlihat nafas. Dilakukan evaluasi nasoendoskopi, koana kiri tertutup. Pada pemeriksaan CT scan terdapat penyempitan pada rongga hidung sebelah kiri dan ditegakkan diagnosis atresia koana sinistra. Kami membuat koanoplasti dan mempertahankan stent hingga 1 bulan. Penatalaksanaan atresia koana unilateral adalah koanoplasti dilanjutkan dengan pemasangan stent. Tujuan pemasangan stent adalah untuk menjaga patensi koana dan mencegah restenosis pasca operasi. Idealnya stent dipertahankan selama 3 bulan dimana perawatan stent dilakukan setiap hari.
Koana atresia is the closure of one or both posterior nasal cavities by an abnormal membrane or bone. It occurs due to embryologic failure of the buccal membrane to divide before birth. The incidence of koana atresia is 1 case per 5000-8000 births. Unilateral koana atresia is more common (75%) than bilateral koana atresia. There are bone type and membrane type. The incidence rate in females is twice as high as in males. Unilateral koana obstruction is sometimes asymptomatic at birth but will subsequently lead to unilateral chronic nasal drainage obstruction in childhood, whereas bilateral koana atresia is an emergency at birth. A 6-year-old boy with a chief complaint of rhinorrhea on the left side of the nose since 6 years ago (since birth), there was nasal obstruction. On anterior rhinoscopic examination, there was no koana in the left nasal cavity. Test with a cotton swab placed in front of the nose, no breath was seen. Nasoendoscopic evaluation was performed, the left coana was closed. On CT scan, there was a narrowing of the left nasal cavity and a diagnosis of koana atresia sinistra was made. We performed coanoplasty and maintained the stent for up to 1 month. The management of unilateral koana atresia is coanoplasty followed by stenting. The aim of stenting is to maintain koana patency and prevent postoperative restenosis. Ideally, the stent is maintained for 3 months with daily stent maintenance.
SPECTRUM OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS OF ACTIVE FM BAND IN OSOGBO METROPOLIS
Authors: Alawode K. O. , Adebayo A. K. , Lasisi H. O. , Ajewole T. O.
Published: May 2024

An investigation was conducted to ascertain the FM band (88-108) MHz spectrum occupancy measurement within Osogbo, Nigeria over a period of 48 hours. The energy detection method was used to analyze the spectrum data, and a threshold of 5 dB/Hz above the noise level was put in place. The Fountain University Osogbo campus, the Atelewo Fire Station, the Uniosun Osogbo campus, and the National Control Centre Osogbo were the four venues for the campaign measurement of the spectrum occupancy. The fieldwork analysis led to the deduction that the Uniosun campus experienced a maximum duty cycle of 99.48% spectrum occupancy at band 9 of frequency 91.625 MHz and band 35 of frequency (104.375-104.5) MHz. Of the four locations, the Uniosun campus had the highest average duty cycle of 89.81% spectrum occupancy and the highest power spectral density of -67.50 dB/Hz. The maximum average power spectral density of -87.89 dB/Hz is recorded at the National Control Center. The Uniosun campus had the highest number of active channels, with 574 channels located at band 9 of frequency channel 91.625 MHz and band 35 of frequency channels (104.375-104.625) MHz. The university campus also had the highest average number of active channels, with 518 channels.
OPTIMAL LOCATION AND SIZING OF DG IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK: IMPACT ON OVERCURRENT DISTRIBUTION PROTECTION SCHEME
Authors: Adeleye A.O. , Ajewole T. O. , Momoh O. D.
Published: May 2024

The integration of distributed generation (DG) into the existing distribution networks minimizes active power losses and improves the voltage profile. The recent improvement in the development of DG technology has caused increase in the penetration of DG from different sources. The optimal location and sizing of DG is very challenging and introduces different protection issues. This is caused by penetration of current flow from different source which is contrary to the principles of operation of the conventional overcurrent scheme. This paper presents optimal method of DG placement and sizing using firefly algorithm and its impact of DG penetration on overcurrent protection scheme. Low voltage distribution network is modelled and simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC and DigSilent power factory software using IEEE 33 and Ayepe 34 standard bus. False tripping of feeders, Nuisance tripping, blinding of the protection scheme and unintentional islanding caused as result of Photovoltaic penetration into the distribution network were simulated. Coordination of overcurrent relays with and without DG penetration were analyzed and possible mitigation algorithm were proposed. The simulation result obtained showed that the proposed methods significantly improve the protection scheme coordination..
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF IOT BASED HOTEL ROOMS OCCUPANCY REPORTING SYSTEM
Authors: Oluwole A. S. , Ayosunkanmi O.
Published: May 2024

Advances in technology applications are becoming more visible in everyday activities as the globe becomes more technologically skilled and evolved. Being able to receive and execute control is critical in the age of Internet of Things technology and control. This pattern eventually led to the development of an Internet of Things (IoT) system for reporting room occupancy as a promising technique or system for determining the availability of rooms and buildings. This method lowers human mistake, mismanagement, and energy use, all of which directly translate to decrease hotel running costs, possibly to zero. As a result, it is conceivable that the number of guests staying in Nigerian hotels has risen significantly. If this is the case, good management will most certainly result in an immense rise in profits. However, sharp practices among hotel employees tend to divert the profit met for the owners, thus this project is designed to automatically report hotel occupancy easily accessible to owners. An infrared detection circuit was used detect human movement and a lithium-ion battery that supplied 3.7 volts was used as the power supply for the circuit while a GPRS module (a SIM 800L GSM module) was utilized to receive and transmit data messages via radio waves, and an LGT8F328P microcontroller controlled every other component in the circuit. An android application was developed and installed on a mobile phone to gather all of the real-time readings and events that take place throughout the project’s system. The programming of the microcontroller was done using the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) software and C++ programming language. When the project was turned on, I saw that all of the LEDs turned on automatically. The first two LEDs (brown and green) were automatically turned on, as were the corresponding room LEDs. After that, the green LED turned off. When the infrared LEDs’ visibility is obscured, their input to the phototransistors in each room and the LEDs attached to each room automatically turn on, indicating that the rooms are occupied and vice versa. The various room compartments’ check-ins and check-outs are tracked, managed, and updated using the proposed hardware. The data is then transmitted to the IoT cloud and eventually to the Android application
Chronic Osteomyelitis of Clavicle as a Primary Manifestation of CRMO in an Adolescent: A Case Report
Authors: Zouirech Yacine , Manni Abir , Rouijel Badr , Hosni Sarah , Dendane Mohammed Anouar , Amrani Abdelouahed , Alami Sidi Zouhir Fellouss El , Madhi Tarik El
Published: May 2024

Background: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an auto-inflammatory bone disorder characterized by aseptic, mono- to multi-focal inflammation of the bones, yet its etiology remains undetermined. Diagnosis of CRMO is often challenging due to its overlapping signs and symptoms with other bone disorders, leading to potential long-term deformities. Increasing awareness of the various presentations of CRMO is crucial for timely diagnosis and management. Case presentation: A 14-year-old girl presented to our center with recurrent left clavicle pain, persisting for more than 3 years before referral. She had received multiple courses of analgesics. Physical examination revealed a hard, fixed mass in the medial third of the left clavicle, painless to palpation, with no inflammatory signs. MRI showed diffuse multiple hypo-signal lesions of the medial third of the left clavicle, blowing the bone cortex with infiltration of the soft tissues. Differential diagnoses were ruled out through bone biopsy, and laboratory tests. The patient responded favorably to treatment with Methotrexate, and Indomethacin, with no relapse observed during one year of follow-up. Conclusions: Uncommon presentations of CRMO can pose challenges in diagnosis, potentially leading to prolonged diagnostic processes. Increasing awareness among specialists regarding these presentations can facilitate earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment of CRMO patients.

The removal of metallic foreign bodies in the lower airways, a source of recurrent pneumonia, is not currently performed in the Congolese population using video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery (VATS) under unipulmonary ventilation. Multiple failures of rigid and/or flexible bronchoscopy are likely to be a cause of morbidity and mortality. To the best of our knowledge, we report a first experience in DRC, of right middle lobectomy on metallic foreign body by VATS in a 14-year-old girl after two years of accidental inhalation of a metallic key, in the face of two bronchoscopy failures. A partial transverse bronchotomy successfully performed under VATS allowed extraction of the foreign body followed by bronchial reconstruction with resection of the right middle lung lobe. The aim of the multidisciplinary team was to determine whether lobectomy by VATS would result in shorter hospital stays, fewer complications and faster recovery than lobectomy by thoracotomy, to review the key stages of case management using an unusual approach in the region, and to draw a conclusion based on this first experience.

Authors: Pokhrel Sudip , Acharya Pitambar
Published: May 2024

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing university students’ intention and behavior toward eLearning in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The research framework used in this study was the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology (UTAUT). The most common factors associated with UTAUT are social influence, facilitating conditions, habit, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, behavioral intention, and use behavior. Data were collected from 385 university students through a closed-ended questionnaire through social media platforms. The demographic information of respondents was summarized using SPSS version 25 software, while structural equation modeling was performed using SmartPls version 3 to identify the factors that influence behavioral intention and use behavior of eLearning. The data analyses revealed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, social influence, and habit all significantly influence the behavioral intention of eLearning, with facilitating conditions being the most significant factor. Similarly, habit, facilitating conditions, and behavioral intention also significantly influence the use behavior of eLearning, with facilitating conditions as the most significant factor. It suggests that students are more likely to utilize eLearning tools when they have access to various technical devices and receive sufficient support from educational institutions. Therefore, universities should prioritize accessibility, feedback mechanisms, and seamless integration of eLearning into curricula. Peer support, technical assistance, and promotion of the benefits of eLearning are also essential for fostering engagement. By focusing on these aspects, eLearning adoption can be optimized, leading to improved academic performance and learning outcomes among university students in Kathmandu Valley.

Рост заболеваемости и смертности в стране от аутоиммунных поражений кишечника возрастаем с каждым годом несмотря на успехи в диагностике и лечении данных патологий. В этиологии развития этих заболеваний лежит как генетическая поломка генов, так и условия окружающей среды, в которых находится индивид. Материалы и методы: в исследовании приняло участие 200 историй болезней пациентов с диагнозом Язвенный колит. Были проанализированы показали общего анализа крови, биохимические показатели крови, эндоскопические методы обследования. Особое внимание было уделено таким показателям крови как: с-реактивный белок, кальпротектин, вирусные маркеры гепатитов. Так же анализировался возраст и пол больных. Статистическая обработка данных проводилась в программе SPSS Statistics 23.0. Результаты: в исследовании выявлены закономерности влияния возраста и уровень кальпротектина. Так же, выявлена закономерность окружающей среды, влияющей на развитие язвенного колита. Таким образом, изменение образа жизни может в будущем уменьшить количество заболеваемости язвенным колитом, вместе с тем, если пациенты, находящиеся в зоне риска будут проходить исправно диспансеризацию раз в год, начиная с 18 лет

Increase in morbidity and mortality in the country from autoimmune lesions of bowel are increasing tearly despite all the advances in diagnostics and treatment of these deseases. The etiology of the development of these diseases lies in the genetic breakdown of genes, as well as the environmental conditions in which the individual finds himself. Materials and methods: the cases of 200 patients diagnosed with uclerative colitis were involved in the study. Full blood count, blood chemistry, bowel’s mucous membrane endoscopic picture were analyzed. Special attention was paid to parameters such as: c-reactive protein, calprotectin, viral markers of hepatitis. The age and gender of the patients were also analyzed. Statistical data processing was carried out using SPSS Statistics 23.0. Results: the study revealed patterns of influence of age and calprotectin level. Also, the pattern of the environment influence on the development of ulcerative colitis was revealed. It can be concluded that lifestyle changes may reduce the incidence of disease in the future, but only if patients at risk undergo regular medical examination once a year, starting from 18 years of age

В статье рассматривается опыт разработки и создания системы для сбора и анализа медицинских данных посредством использования мессенджеров, с возможностью в дальнейшем интегрирования в МИС. Для разработки был проведен опрос медицинского персонала, цель которого состояла в выявлении проблемы загруженности врачей. Актуальность разработки обуславливается несколькими факторами. Первым фактором является рост числа пользователей систем мгновенного обмена сообщениями. Вторым фактором является увеличение количества рабочих часов медицинского персонала. К третьему фактору относится тенденция увеличения числа пациентов с неинфекционными хроническими заболеваниями, а также в частности пациентов с заболеваниями кровообращения и цереброваскулярными заболеваниями. Для решения данных проблем было решено реализовать телемедицинский программный продукт для сбора и анализа данных при помощи системы обмена сообщениями с самым быстрорастущим трафиком, а именно Telegram. Также выбор остановился именно на этом мессенджере из-за его возможностей в реализации ботов – программ, автоматически выполняющих определенный набор действий. С помощью большого количества инструментов в виде библиотек для программирования Telegram ботов можно реализовать любую задачу. Реализованная программа поможет пользователям автоматизацией рутинной работы, что позволить врачам более эффективно проводить процесс реабилитации

The article discusses the experience of developing and creating a system for collecting and analyzing medical data through the use of instant messengers, with the possibility of further integration into MIS. For the development, a survey of medical personnel was conducted, the purpose of which was to identify the problem of doctors’ workload. The relevance of the development is determined by several factors. The first factor is the growing number of users of instant messaging systems. The second factor is the increase in the number of working hours of medical personnel. The third factor is the tendency to increase the number of patients with non-infectious chronic diseases, as well as in particular patients with circulatory diseases and cerebrovascular diseases. To solve these problems, it was decided to implement a telemedicine software product for collecting and analyzing data using a messaging system with the fastest growing traffic, namely Telegram.

В статье рассматриваются методы рациональной поддержки принимаемых решений в процессе диагностирования и выбора лечения. Применяются методы имитационного эксперимента для организации и алгоритмизации диалогового режима в ускоренном и реальном масштабе времени на основе адаптивных алгоритмов, математических и логических моделей, использующих наравне с объективной текущей информацией априорную информацию, поступающую от ЛВ, и экспертную информацию. Располагая прогностическими моделями однородных компонент, ЛВ вместе с исследователем операций имеет возможность "проиграть" на моделях методом имитационного эксперимента возможные варианты лечения, сравнивать их, предполагать исход лечения. При этом отработка вариантов лечения может проводиться либо только по информации от ЛВ, либо по информации от ЛВ с использованием адаптивного подхода. На эффективность выбора тактики лечения оказывает также влияние использования рациональной организации имитационного эксперимента, так как его целью является обучение ЛВ на моделях и получение дополнительной информации о процессе перед началом лечения, что очень существенно при принятии решений в условиях неполной априорной информации. При организации имитационного эксперимента имеют место три уровня, представляющих собой в совокупности итеративный многоуровневый процесс прогнозирования исхода лечения

The article discusses methods of rational support for decisions made in the process of diagnosis and treatment selection. Simulation experiment methods are used to organize and algorithmize the dialogue mode in accelerated and real time on the basis of adaptive algorithms, mathematical and logical models that use, along with objective current information, a priori information coming from the LP and expert information. Having prognostic models of homogeneous components, the LP, together with the surgery researcher, has the opportunity to “play out” possible treatment options on models using a simulation experiment, compare them, and predict the outcome of treatment. In this case, development of treatment options can be carried out either only based on information from the PL, or based on information from the PL using an adaptive approach. The effectiveness of the choice of treatment tactics is also influenced by the use of a rational organization of a simulation experiment, since its goal is to train the drug using models and obtain additional information about the process before starting treatment, which is very important when making decisions in conditions of incomplete a priori information. When organizing a simulation experiment, there are three levels, which together represent an iterative multi-level process of predicting the outcome of treatment
