Published: November 2021

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Ukraine's independence, it is important to remember the historical achievements of Ukrainian science, to honor the heroes of the science of the past and to draw inspiration from their achievements for the development of science of the future. In this regard, the history of medicine, as a special academic discipline, plays a vital role an important academic and civic role, as it helps to trace the medical scientific achievements of the past and draw conclusions about their strengths and priorities for future national and international growth and development. Analyzing the scientific strengths and priorities of science and medicine in Ukraine, it is safe to say that biomedical gerontology is one of the most important scientific and historical values and priorities of Ukraine on a global scale. There are good reasons to continue and develop this tradition, building on the strengths that exist, drawing inspiration from the past and looking to the future. Currently, the development of biomedical gerontology is becoming increasingly important for Ukraine, given the rapid aging of the country's population. The resulting economic and social problems are related to the aging population, which puts biomedical gerontology as a discipline that seeks solutions to achieve healthy and productive longevity, at the forefront of social significance, demanding further development and support of this field for the sake of internal national stability, and to preserve the country's international contribution. It is hoped that the outstanding history of biomedical gerontology in Ukraine, its honorable historical place in national development and international cooperation, will inspire further growing support and development of this field in Ukraine and abroad.

Published: November 2021

Materials of beams, plates, slabs, strips have been commonly applied in various fields of industry and agriculture as flat elements in the structures for machinery and construction. They are associated with the design of numerous engineering structures and facilities, such as the foundations of various buildings, airfield and road surfaces, floodgates, including underground structures.
This paper reports a study into the interaction of the material (of beams, plates, slabs, strips) with the deformable base as a three-dimensional body and in the exact statement of a three-dimensional problem of mathematical physics under dynamic loads.
The tasks of studying the interaction of a material (beams, plates, slabs, strips) with a deformable base have been set. A material lying on a porous water-saturated viscoelastic base is considered as a viscoelastic layer of the same geometry. It is assumed that the lower surface of the layer is flat while the upper surface, in a general case, is not flat and is given by some equation.
Classical approximate theories of the interaction of a layer with a deformable base, based on the Kirchhoff hypothesis, have been considered. Using the well-known hypothesis by Timoshenko and others, the general three-dimensional problem is reduced to a two-dimensional one relative to the displacement of points of the median plane of the layer, which imposes restrictions on external efforts. In the examined problem, there is no median plane. Therefore, as the desired values, displacements and deformations of the points in the plane have been considered, which, under certain conditions, pass into the median plane of the layer.
It is not possible to find a closed analytical solution for most problems while experimental studies often turn out to be time-consuming and dangerous processes
Determining the energy efficiency of a resonance single-mass vibratory machine whose operation is based on the Sommerfeld effect

Published: November 2021

This paper reports determining the energy efficiency of a vibratory machine consisting of a viscoelastically fixed platform that can move vertically, and a vibration exciter whose operation is based on the Sommerfeld effect. The body of the vibration exciter rotates at a steady angular speed while there are the same loads in the form of a ball, a roller, or a pendulum inside it. The load, being moved relative to the body, is exposed to the forces of viscous resistance, which are internal within the system.
It was established that under the steady oscillatory modes of a vibratory machine's movement, the loads are tightly pressed to each other, thereby forming a combined load. Energy is productively spent on platform oscillations and unproductively dissipated due to the movement of the combined load relative to the body.
With an increase in the speed of the body rotation, the increasing internal forces of viscous resistance bring the speed of rotation of the combined load closer to the resonance speed, and the amplitude of platform oscillations increases. However, the combined load, in this case, increasingly lags behind the body, which increases unproductive energy loss and decreases the efficiency of the vibratory machine.
A purely resonant motion mode of the vibratory machine produces the maximum amplitude of platform oscillations, the dynamic factor, the total power of viscous resistance forces. In this case, the efficiency reaches its minimum value.
To obtain vigorous oscillations of the platform with a simultaneous increase in the efficiency of the vibratory machine, it is necessary to reduce the forces of viscous resistance in supports with a simultaneous increase in the internal forces of viscous resistance.
An algorithm for calculating the basic dynamic characteristics of the vibratory machine's oscillatory motion has been built, based on solving the problem parametrically. The accepted parameter is the angular speed at which a combined load gets stuck. The effectiveness of the algorithm has been illustrated using a specific example

Published: November 2021

Because of the incorporation of discontinuous fibers, steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) outperforms regular concrete. However, due to its complexity and limited available data, the development of SFRC strength prediction techniques is still in its infancy when compared to that of standard concrete. In this paper, the compressive strength of steel fiber-reinforced concrete was predicted from different variables using the Random forest model. Case studies of 133 samples were used for this aim. To design and validate the models, we generated training and testing datasets. The proposed models were developed using ten important material parameters for steel fiber-reinforced concrete characterization. To minimize training and testing split bias, the approach used in this study was validated using the 10-fold Cross-Validation procedure. To determine the optimal hyperparameters for the Random Forest algorithm, the Grid Search Cross-Validation approach was utilized. The root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R2), and mean absolute error (MAE) between measured and estimated values were used to validate and compare the models. The prediction performance with RMSE=5.66, R2=0.88 and MAE=3.80 for the Random forest model. Compared with the traditional linear regression model, the outcomes showed that the Random forest model is able to produce enhanced predictive results of the compressive strength of steel fiber-reinforced concrete. The findings show that hyperparameter tuning with grid search and cross-validation is an efficient way to find the optimal parameters for the RF method. Also, RF produces good results and gives an alternate way for anticipating the compressive strength of SFRC

Authors:   Volgograd State University, Bochkarev Alexandr , Babenko Aleksey ,   Volgograd State University
Published: November 2021

The state of reliability is the main indicator of the stable functioning of the information system. Reliability assessment is a complex indicator that consists of four groups of properties, namely: durability, reliability, maintainability and complex indicators. In turn, the reliability properties are composed of indicators of each of the properties. It is on the basis of these indicators that the reliability of the information system used or designed. The stable functioning of information systems largely depends on the reliable operation of technical components of the system, both physical and software. The reasons that suggest an increased interest in the problems of determining the reliability of information systems are: increasing the complexity of the hardware of information systems and the emergence of highperformance information systems; slow growth in the level of reliability of its components; increasing the significance of the hardware work implemented; complexity of the conditions of use, etc. In practice, probabilistic, dynamic, predictive, and static models for determining the reliability of information systems are used to assess reliability. Each of these methods uses the presented reliability indicators as the basis for determining its reliability assessment. The concepts of information system and reliability are presented. Models and methods for determining the reliability of information systems are analysed. Criteria for the development of a formal model of research methods for evaluating the reliability of information systems are defined. A formal model has been developed for the study of methods for determining the reliability of information systems.

Currently, the role of the Internet in the life of society is growing, and the state’s view of it is changing. Increasingly, the content posted on the Web goes beyond the laws of individual countries, their social norms, and the political lines of the authorities. Besides, Internet has a significant impact on intellectual property and telecommunications, jeopardizing the economic interests of many industries. These trends have contributed to the need to filter some types of content, and have caused disputes about the permissible limits of state intervention in the functioning of the network. Content filtering systems and methods were analyzed, and their applicability for each of the information leakage channels was determined: blocking by IP address, blocking by DNS record, blocking by URL, filtering by text content, filtering by extensions and file types, filtering search results. The project of a software package for filtering Internet traffic in the C# programming language was developed and its functionality was described. As a result of the experiments carried out by the filtering system, the following results were obtained: the correctness of filtering by DNS record, the correctness of filtering by URL were successfully checked, reports on identified blocked sites in the filtering log were generated. Thus, the successful conduct of experiments allows us to assert that the software package of content filtering of Internet traffic performs the tasks assigned to it.

Saltpeter negatively affects the human body, it contributes to the formation of a dangerous substance in the blood – methemoglobin, which leads to oxygen starvation. An increase in methemoglobin up to 60% leads to a fatal outcome. Also, the excess of saltpeter in water causes poisoning, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, excretory and endocrine systems, the destruction of tooth enamel and the appearance of caries. Saltpeter can be determined in water by chemical analysis of the liquid, as well as using nanomaterials. These structures have a sufficiently highly developed adsorption surface, this property helps to detect the presence of saltpeter in water, and at the same time to clean it. The results of the studies made it possible to establish that after passing water with an admixture of saltpeter, the concentration of the latter decreased. Thus, the theoretical calculations showing the possibility of saltpeter adsorption by carbon nanotubes were confirmed. The obtained results and the applied methods can be used in conducting complex high-performance water examinations.

Published: November 2021

In Tamil Nadu, one of the most important agro-climatic zone dictating the total rice production is by Cauvery Delta zone. In Cauvery Delta zone the area under rice cultivation has been reduced drastically and this situation forms the base for a paradigm shift from rice cultivation to alternate crops that requires less amount of irrigation water. Suitable alternate cropping pattern plays an important role in improving the purchasing power of farmer with the help of inclusion of commercial crops in rice based cropping system. Chilli is an important spice cum vegetable crop cultivated extensively in India. This project is indented to study the fertigation system in one of promising alternate crops in chillies in rice ecosystem. By keeping all these points in view, the present investigation was undertaken to study the response of chilli to drip irrigation on sandy clay loam soil under Madukkur soil series (Typic Ustropept) in cauvery new delta zone. Field experiment was conducted at Soil and Water Management Research Institute, Kattuthottam, Thanjavur financially supported by Department of Science and Technology under SERB programme with a budget outlay of Rs. 13.0 lakhs for three years during 2012-2015 in strip plot design with four replications. The results revealed that Sub surface drip fertigation at 10 cm depth recorded the maximum plant height, number of branches, number of flowers and number of fruits at B2 irrigation regime (IW/CPE = 0.75). Total green chillies yield was higher under sub surface drip fertigation @ 10 cm depth at IW/CPE=1 (15.59 t ha-1) followed by surface drip fertigation at IW/CPE = 0.75 (13.50 t ha-1) and sub surface drip fertigation @ 10 cm depth at IW/CPE = 0.75 (11.17 t ha-1).Thus, introduction of chillies as an alternate crop under sub surface drip fertigation @ 10 cm depth technology during January under Broad bed furrow method of cultivation paves the way for improving the social security to the rice farmers.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the determinants involved in the mental suffering of schoolchildren on the French-Brazilian border. Methods: a qualitative study was conducted with children from 6 to 12 years of age from four State schools in the municipality of Oiapoque, located on the French-Brazilian border. The data were obtained through interviews, analyzed by the IRAMUTEQ software, and interpreted in the light of the Dahlgren and Whitehead’s social determinants of health model. Results: data indicate that the mental suffering experienced by children, especially characterized by anxious symptoms, such as concern of becoming fat and worries, were permeated by social situations that children went through daily, such as family abandonment, domestic violence, and bullying. Final Considerations: social determinants can be predictors of mental suffering in children, especially in environments of extreme vulnerability, such as the border, in a context of financial difficulties, domestic violence, and absence of parenting.

Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Park Jung-Hyun , Kim Nam-Jo
Published: November 2021

The global pandemic has led to a ban on tourism activities between countries. Personal experiential camping has become a popular tourism activity after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigated the impacts of campers’ overall image of a camping destination on their perceived place attachment, place identity, and their intentions to revisit. Gender was proposed as a moderating variable in this study. An online survey was conducted with individuals who experienced camping from January to December 2020. The results showed that campers’ perception of amenities and safety significantly affected their camping destination's overall image. In addition, overall image that the campers had made a positive (+) effect on their place attachment and identity. In regards to moderating effect of gender, the results did not show a significant difference between men and women in terms of forming overall camping destination image. However, the invariance model results showed that, for women, amenities and safety perception were essential factors in the formation of a camping site's overall image. This study suggests that camping destination managers should expand amenities and safety facilities to help form a positive image of the destination. Moreover, they should induce camping tourists' intentions to revisit based on their camping place attachment and identity.

Published: November 2021

Due to the recent impact of COVID-19, the form of conventions has changed rapidly to non-contact form. To adapt to trend changes, various attempts are underway in industries. Particularly, online convention has become the most common and universal form of non-face-to-face convention. The purpose of this study was to explore key factors of online convention service quality using a qualitative study method. Participants in the in-depth interview were 10 MICE industry workers who have experience in planning or operating online conventions from September 2020 to January 2021. Interviews were analyzed through the Colaizzi's phenomenological qualitative research method. A total of 71 formulated meanings were extracted based on meaningful answers from interviewees, of which 23 themes, 11 theme clusters and five categories were derived. Five categories were divided into 'quality of presenters and contents', 'quality of online convention platform', 'quality of digital environment', 'quality of service' and 'quality of marketing'. While some of the derived themes were similar to previous studies about service quality factors, this study verified the importance of the quality of speakers and contents, online platform, and digital environment quality that can replace face-to-face events.
New insights into the pathological development of dyslipidemia in patients with hypothyroidism
Authors: Su Xin , Chen Xiang , Peng Hua , Song Jingjin , Wang Bin , Wu Xijie
Published: November 2021

According to the previous reports, hypothyroidism has been shown to be strongly correlated with increased circulating concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG). Notably, thyroid hormones  are confirmed to modulate the production, clearance, and transformation process of cholesterol within circulation of mammals. Moreover, emerging evidence suggests that the thyroid-stimulating hormone could also participate in modulating serum lipid metabolism independently of thyroid hormones, which further induces the pathological development of dyslipidemia. However, the underlying mechanism is still not fully elucidated. Recently, several research studies have demonstrated that the pathogenic progression of hypothyroidism-related dyslipidemia might be correlated with the decreased serum concentrations of thyroid hormones and the increased serum concentrations of thyroid-stimulating hormones. Thus, this indicates that hypothyroidism could induce dyslipidemia and its related cardio-metabolic disorder diseases. In addition, several newly identified modulatory biomarkers, such as proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTLs), and fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), might play an important role in the regulation of dyslipidemia induced by hypothyroidism. Furthermore, under the status of hypothyroidism, significantly dysfunctional HDL particles could also be observed. In the current review, we summarized the recent knowledge of the relationship between the development of hypothyroidism with dyslipidemia. We also discussed the updated understanding of the mechanisms whereby hypothyroidism induces the risk and the development of dyslipidemia and cardio-metabolic diseases.

The article highlights the legal aspects of groundwater regulation to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The general tendencies of groundwater extraction to meet the needs of military units as components of national security and defense of Ukraine are considered and revealed.

Given the insufficient resource provision, inefficient environmental monitoring system and inefficient use of resources in the security and defense sector, the issue of legal regulation of groundwater extraction processes to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as components of national security and defense of Ukraine is quite relevant and in demand.

Currently, the issue of providing water to remote military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that do not have the ability to connect to a centralized water supply system and are forced to use wells to meet water supply needs is relevant.

Analyzing the state of legal regulation of groundwater extraction processes to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we note that there are a number of issues that are not regulated by the legislation of Ukraine, there are regulations that contain conflict rules.

Achieving a balance of social, environmental and economic interests of military units as components of national security and defense of Ukraine, related to rational and balanced water consumption and water use, is one of the priority areas in improving mechanisms for state regulation of water resources in Ukraine. The means of implementing this direction is the development and implementation of coordinated and interconnected legislative, regulatory, organizational, economic, environmental and technical projects and measures to improve the quality of water resources, their rational and environmentally safe use, balancing economic water needs with resources and environmental opportunities water resource potential.

Twitter, günümüzde bireylerce ekonomiden siyasete, günlük yaşamdan sanata kadar birçok konunun
tartışılıp görüş bildirildiği sosyal medya platformlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Web 2.0 teknolojileriyle
birlikte özellikle güncel haber paylaşımı ve yayılımı sebebiyle belirli bir etki alanı oluşturabilmiş bir
mikroblog özelliği taşımaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, Alman filozof Jürgen Habermas’ın tarihsel bir
süreçte ve henüz yeni iletişim teknolojileri olarak İnternet’in yer almadığı bir dönemde incelediği kamusal
alan kavramının günümüzde Twitter’da düzenlenen bir kampanya özelindeki etkinliği, olanakları ve
sınırlılıklarıyla ilgili bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Araştırmada, SMA hastası çocuklar için sosyal medyada
yürütülen bağış kampanyalarıyla ilgili bir örnek olay üzerinden Twitter’ın, kamuoyunu yönlendirmede,
harekete geçirmede ve karar alıcıları etkilemede nasıl değerlendirilebileceği tartışmaya açılmıştır. Bu
bağlamda 3-6 Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında Twitter’da SMA hastası çocuklar için yapılan kampanya için
iki farklı etiket altında toplanan 35.308 tweet’ten sistematik örnekleme ile elde edilen 692 adedi içerik
analizine tabi tutulmuştur. İki farklı çalışmadan karma bir yöntemle elde edilen kod şeması temel alınarak
bir kod listesi oluşturulmuş ve 6 farklı kod kategorisi üzerinden kodlanan sonuçların yorumlandığı çalışma
ile Twitter ortamının kamusal alanda bireylerin görüşlerini bildirmesi için bir ortam olmakla beraber bu
kamusallığın karar vericileri etkilemede sınırlı kaldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Abstract. Introduction Total hip replacement is the most effective technique for the consequences of acetabular fractures. The study includes the literature review on the outcomes of total hip replacement (THR) in patients with post-traumatic coxarthrosis. Material and methods The search was performed via databases of PUBMED, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, E-library and publications using the keywords “acetabulum”, “fracture”, “total hip arthroplasty” and “post-traumatic arthritis” published between 1995 and 2020. The exclusion criteria were a series of less than 10 patients, a follow-up period of less than 12 months. Abstracts of the meetings and review articles published either in Russian or in English were included in the study. Patients' demographic data, surgical characteristics and outcomes were reviewed. Results Total 1,843 publications were reviewed and the analysis included data from 20 studies with the total number of 1,184 cases reviewed. Surgical treatments of the patients were performed between 1984 and 2018. The follow–up period averaged to 5.5 ± 1.19 years (range, 2 to 18 years). The mean age of the patients was 56.4 ± 12.7 years. The mean interval from an injury to total hip arthroplasty was 8 ± 2.7 years. The mean Harris Hip Score was 39.4 ± 11 prior to surgery and 86.2 ± 22 postoperatively. The most common postoperative complications were heterotopic ossification (28.9 ± 10 %), aseptic loosening (8.15 ± 1.82 %) and periprosthetic joint infection (7.89+1.86 %). Complications that required revision surgery were noted in 13.47 ± 2.91 % cases. Conclusion THR in patients who sustained acetabular fractures is challenging, and bone grafts or acetabular augments would be needed to address an acetabular defect of any localization.
«Acme» as a Peak of Personal and Professional Development of a self-Actualizing Personality
Authors:   Russian State Social University, Samal Elena
Published: November 2021

The article discusses the problem of self-actualization of a personality in its professional activity and achieving the peak of its personal development. Based on the analysis of various psychological theories and concepts it is shown that achieving of “acme” by a personality is based on the desire to grow and develop professionally or on its desire for self-actualization. Self-actualization can be better seen during the periods of professional crisis, which activate the processes of professional self-determination of a personality. One of the types of crisis is the transition from the level of normative requirements to the level of professional competence. Judging by the example of results of some investigations it is proved that there are differences in attitude to profession and desire to grow and develop professionally in people with working experience under and over 5 years, which can be conditioned by the crisis mentioned above. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be realized in counseling practices of psychological services connected with professional growth, by HR professionals, with the aim of promotion and professional growth of employees, and in development of programs for development and harmonization of internal and external conditions for self-actualization of a person. Key words: self-actualization, potential, professional self-actualization, acme, professional development, professional crisis, achievement motivation, career orientations.

Authors:   Saratov State University, Arendachuk Irina
Published: November 2021

The article presents results of theoretical and empirical study concerning peculiarities of professional self-determination of high school students. It is shown that state of health is a factor, which determines conditions of personal socialization and peculiarities of its professional self-determination. Investigation of peculiarities of professional self-determination of visually-challenged high school students and students, who do not have any medical conditions, was carried out at special needs (correctional) comprehensive boarding school of Type III-IV (city of Saratov) and comprehensive secondary school located in Ivanteevka village (Saratov region) (n=50). We applied the following set of methods: «Differential-diagnostic questionnaire» by е. а. Klimova, «Orientation» questionnaire by V. е. Sigachyov and м. N. Rossokhach, questionnaire «Future Social Status». Comparative analysis showed that visually-challenged high school students underestimate their abilities; they are oriented towards a relatively narrow range of professions. Needs for self-realization and development of one’s abilities dominate in the structure of needs linked to future profession. Students without any medical conditions have a tendency to overestimate their abilities; the leading motive of their professional choice is the desire to achieve material wealth. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be realized in organization of psychological and pedagogical assistance to high school students aimed at the development of adequate visions concerning their personal abilities and their correlation with specific professions.
