Published: January 2024

The purpose of research. The information description of the patient's health status is based on quantitative parameters and qualitative signs. It is proposed to formalize quantitative and qualitative information about the patient's state of health in order to use this information to build a medical expert system. The expert system built on the basis of this information will be able to make a more accurate diagnosis, which will reduce the time for diagnosis and ultimately increase the effectiveness of treatment.

Methods. On the basis of a formalized information description of the state of health of patients, it is possible to construct classes of states: the class of the current state (at the moment), the class of the reference (healthy) state of health of the patient. In the future, it is possible to build classes of patients' health conditions taking into account age and a number of features of diseases, for example, taking into account the area in which the patient lives, etc. In the future, these classes can be implemented in a medical expert system.

Results. As a result, a formalized information model of describing the patient's health status based on quantitative parameters and qualitative signs has been built, which can be the basis for a database and knowledge base of a medical expert diagnostic system.

Conclusion. As a result, a formalized description of the patient's state of health is proposed. For implementation, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of constructing a separate heuristic algorithm for the diagnosis of the disease, which will be associated with the reproduction in the form of operations of the process of developing a logical structure when reasoning by an expert (doctor) during the treatment of a patient.

Authors: Tomakova R. A. , Ivanov D. V. , Korsunsky N. A.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of research. Timely provision of data transfer between information systems allows you to quickly exchange resources. However, applications may have different data formats and structures. Therefore, the aim of the research was to develop models, methods and algorithms for a system of asynchronous deserialization of a data string, providing an increase in the efficiency of determining data models by generating strongly typed objects.

Methods. The way to deserialize models from data involves line-by-line decomposition of a JSON-file line with the definition of key-value types and their correlation with the data model: character, string, number, boolean value. After that, the web controller conducts asynchronous generation of the class and its objects. To classify string values, serialized string value classifiers are used. For asynchronous generation of objects, a system of “contracts” of models and algorithms for executing and converting these models are used.

Results. The deserializer consists of a system of four model analysis controllers and a value generation algorithm. A simple single model deserialization model allows the model to be mapped to relational database table headers to enable model migration between systems. The generated objects are represented by static data types, which ensures that they can be written to any DBMS system using built-in tools. A complex model represents a block of values as a system of different models. Software has been developed for connecting source and target databases, which allows you to migrate data from the created models. Generated values are represented as full-fledged objects and can be used to create a web interface for applications, edit data models, and manage the model system.

Conclusion. Experimental studies on deserialization of models from a JSON string containing complex model classes showed an average accuracy of determining the data type of models in 92% of cases, in particular when determining the types of values "character" and "string". The created models are presented in the form of a data table and can be used to ensure the migration of these models.

Authors: Negrebetskiy V. A. , Gontarev S. N. , Ivanov V. A.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of research is study of correlations and algorithmization of cytokine status analysis of patients with coronary heart disease in the early recovery period after COVID-19.

Methods. Cytokine status was studied in 40 patients with coronary heart disease 3-4 weeks after recovery from COVID19. The control consisted of 38 patients with coronary heart disease without COVID-19. The level of cytokines in the blood was determined on the device "Becton Dickinson FACS Canto 2 (USA)". Correlation and regression analysis were used in statistical analysis.

Results. Reliable moderate correlations were established between IL-6 and IL-2, IL-3, respectively, r = 0,35 and r = 0,33; IL-17 with IL-2 and IL-6 – r = 0,28 and r = 0,63, respectively; TNF-α and IFN-γ with IL-6 – r = 0,42 and r = 0,39. At the same time, the greatest association, according to the values of the correlation coefficients, among the studied interleukins in patients with coronary heart disease during the convalescence period is characteristic of IL-6. However, IL-17 also had a significant number of correlations with the cytokines under consideration. All this indicates a high association of IL-6, IL-17 and IFN-γ with other cytokines during the recovery period of patients with coronary heart disease after COVID-19 and their priority participation in the development and recovery of these patients. To identify the most informative blood cytokines, an algorithm for analyzing the cytokine status has been developed, which provides for the development of uncorrected and adjusted mathematical models by gender and age of patients with coronary heart disease who have undergone COVID-19. It was found that the greatest effect on recovery 3-4 weeks after COVID-19 in patients with coronary heart disease has the level of IL-17 in the blood (OR = 1,792, p = 0,0021) in an uncorrected and adjusted by gender and age model (OR = 1,708, p = 0,0012).

Conclusion. The established correlations, algorithms and models created are proposed to be used in assessing thedynamics of recovery of patients with coronary heart disease after COVID-19.

Authors: Korenevsky N. A. , Shulga L. V. , Rodionova S. N. , Rybakov А. Y. , Razumova К. V.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of research is to improve the quality of predicting and diagnosing diseases caused by the action of heterogeneous risk factors by using the estimated characteristics of the body's protection level, determined by the energy characteristics of biologically active points that form the basis of the corresponding meridian structures.

Methods. Explores the issues of using indicators characterizing the energy characteristics of meridian structures for a quantitative assessment of the level of protection of the body from the effects of many diverse environmental factors. Since the indicators under study have a pronounced fuzzy nature, the methodology for synthesizing hybrid fuzzy decision rules was chosen as the basic mathematical apparatus.

Results. The paper shows that for a quantitative assessment of the level of protection of the body at its various levels (organism, system, organ), it is advisable to use the imbalance of the electrical resistance of the corresponding biologically active points from their nominal values, determined under normal conditions and after a dosed load, as the energy characteristics of the meridian structures. A method for assessing the level of protection by the energy imbalance of the meridian structures of the body is proposed, which differs in that the energy imbalance of the meridian structures for the selected level of research in combination with the load energy imbalance is used as the basic variable functions of the protection level (PLF), which allows assessing the level of protection of the body as a whole, as well as its systems and organs with an accuracy acceptable for medical practice. The ways of embedding FUS in predictive and diagnostic decision rules are shown.

Conclusion. In the course of the studies, it was shown that in order to improve the quality indicators of forecasting and diagnosing socially significant and occupational diseases, it is advisable to use indicators of the level of body protection determined by the energy imbalance of meridian structures. It is shown that the quality of decision-making with the use of FLS increases by 10–20% depending on the type of tasks being solved and the completeness of the collected data compared to traditionally obtained models.

Authors: Mengshu Zhu
Published: January 2024

The construction method of continuous beam bridges is mostly cantilever casting in place, which has a long construction period and complex process, and is influenced by various factors. Therefore, it can have many adverse effects on the internal forces and deformation of the main beam. To ensure that the line shape of the main beam meets the design and regulatory requirements and that the internal forces of the completed bridge are close to the theoretical design values, ensuring the safe construction of the bridge, it is necessary to monitor the entire construction process of the bridge. This paper takes a certain major bridge as the background, monitors the entire construction process of the main bridge, collects the deflection values at control points and stress values at control interfaces at each construction stage, and compares the measured values with theoretical results. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of the line shape changes and safety conditions of the bridge, assures the reliability and safety of the structure during construction, ensures that the relative elevation deviation of the closure section is less than the permitted values by standards, and makes sure that the line shape of the main beam after completion meets the design specifications.

Agenda 2030 for SDG-6: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in India
Authors: Anju Anju , S. Godara Rajender
Published: January 2024

The 2030 Agenda of the United Nations comprises 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 sub-targets which serve as a global reference point for the transition to sustainability. The agenda acknowledges that different issues such as poverty, hunger, health, education, sanitation and hygiene, gender equality, environmental degradation, among others are integrated and can therefore only be addressed together. The sanitation target of the Sustainable Development Goals is that everyone should have a ‘safely-managed’ sanitation facility by 2030 and that open defecation be eliminated. It covers facilities for handwashing with soap, menstrual-hygiene management, and food hygiene, but only handwashing with soap is monitored by WHO/UNICEF. It is clearly correct therefore that sanitation is a major component of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (United Nations General Assembly 2015a), of which Target #2 of Goal #6 is to: “By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations”. Water and sanitation services are critical for public health. The purpose of this paper is to raise the importance of these services is reflected in SDG 6 and the associated targets 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3. Much progress remains to be made to achieve these targets, but it is already becoming clear that greater ambition is needed.
Breaking Index Study on Weighted Laplace Equation
Authors: Hutahaean Syawaluddin
Published: January 2024

This study serves as an extension of prior research focusing on weighting coefficients within the context of weighted Taylor series. The primary objective is to determine the weighting coefficients' values in the weighted Taylor series for the purpose of modeling water waves based on velocity potential. Utilizing the weighted Taylor series, we derive both the weighted continuity equation and the weighted Laplace equation. The latter is addressed using the variable separation method over a sloping bottom, leading to the formulation of the velocity potential equation, wave constant equations, and energy conservation equations. Within the wave constant equations, a breaking equation is incorporated. Leveraging both the breaking equation and the energy conservation equations, breaking indexes equations are formulated. These equations encompass breaker length, breaker depth, and breaker height indexes, with weighting coefficients prominently featured. Calibrating the results of the breaking indexes equations against findings from earlier studies provides suitable values for the weighting coefficients. Additionally, this research introduces a shoaling-breaking model and a refraction-diffraction model to explore the phenomena of shoaling-breaking within the solution of the weighted Laplace equation.
The interaction of factors in constructing English learning motivation of China’s government-sponsored overseas academic visiting candidates on an official preparatory program
Authors: Chen Yi
Published: January 2024

The present study investigates the English learning motivation of China’s government-sponsored overseas academic visiting candidates on an official intensive English preparatory program. A structural equation model (SEM) analysis was conducted on the results of a 33-item questionnaire survey taken by 632 such candidates, most of whom were university academics. By establishing a SEM model for the general sample and four sub-models for its sub-samples, the study delineates the complex interaction of the components in shaping this population’s English learning motivation against the backdrop of China’s grand socio-educational ambition. It also reveals some nuanced differences in the path coefficients in this motivational complex within each of its two sub-sample sets: the candidates with humanities and social science backgrounds vs. those with science backgrounds and the candidates from an institution or program on China’s Double First Class initiative vs. those not. These research findings may help a better understanding of the English learning ecology in today’s China. Theoretically, this study reinforces the usefulness of the prevailing L2 Motivational Self System framework while at the same time accentuating its socio-contextual variance; it also illuminates the future direction pertaining to the application of the Complex Dynamic Systems theory.

Team efficacy, feeling of reduced personal accomplishment, and individual creative performance: Team trust as a moderator
Authors: Choi Jung Rak , Kim Sangyun , Park Won-Woo
Published: January 2024

We studied the interaction of team efficacy and team trust on feeling of reduced personal accomplishment. Data were obtained from a survey conducted with 270 teams made up of 1,787 individual employees of a multinational shipbuilding corporation headquartered in South Korea. We found
that when team trust was low, team efficacy was positively related to individual burnout, whereas the relationship was nonsignificant when team trust was high. The feeling of reduced personal accomplishment, was, in turn, negatively related to individual creative performance. Contrary to common
intuition about the positive effects of team efficacy, the results suggest that high team efficacy can lead to increased burnout and, ultimately, have a negative impact on creativity under conditions of low team trust. In the process, we also discussed the relative salience of the team as
an extension of the self.
Employees' self-enhancement motivation and turnover intention: Effects of group efficacy and directive leadership
Authors: Choi Jung Rak , Park Won-Woo
Published: January 2024

Based on a framework of the theories of trait activation and conservation of resources, we tested the three-way interactions of self-enhancement motivation, group efficacy, and directive leadership on employees' turnover intention with two separate samples. Participants were employees
of a company in South Korea. We proposed that self-enhancement motivation would affect employees' turnover intention, with group efficacy and directive leadership jointly affecting this relationship. That is, we proposed that high group efficacy would activate self-enhancement motivation,
and directive leadership would modify the activated influence of self-enhancement motivation on turnover intention. Results were generally supportive of the predictions. The findings in this study confirm the interaction between group efficacy and directive leadership (grouplevel variables)
and self-enhancement motivation (individual-level variable) that influence turnover intention, and provide implications for what managers can improve to reduce turnover. The hypotheses in this study will need to be further tested in various cultural contexts.

The main idea of the study is to substantiate the dependence of financial and economic indicators on the efficiency of the use of land and resource potential in the structure of land use in European countries. Research is aimed at determining the influence of the land use system on the sectoral components of the economy of European countries. To achieve the goal, land use was grouped taking into account the types of economic activity and institutional sectors of the economy. Typification of land uses was carried out, taking into account the types of economic activity and institutional sectors of the economy of countries, and the corresponding types of land uses were formed, namely, food-forming, ecologically stabilizing, social-infrastructural, production-commercial - economic-forming. The proposed grouping system consolidated the following types of economic activity: forestry, agriculture, construction, industry, transport, trade, IT, scientific and technical, financial and insurance activities, administrative activities, defense, government, management, education, health care and social services, other services (taxes, arts, entertainment and recreation). As part of the study, the relationship between economic indicators of profitability (average GDP per unit area) and the use of land resource potential was identified, taking into account the institutional sectors of the country's economy. The conducted analysis demonstrates to what extent the income of a certain sector of the economy depends on the area of land use, which participates in the formation of economic benefits. Based on the circle-centric model, it was established that the increase in economic efficiency from the use of land-resource potential is proportional to the distance from the centre of the model (mainly food security) to the top (economy-forming industries of production).

Property and casualty insurance as an umbrella term encompasses various insurance products that cover the risks of damage caused to the assets and provide the liability insurance. As insurance business is related with money people have always tried to perform illegal activities to earn extra income. Insurance fraud as a type of financial crime has existed since the origination of commercial business. Therefore, insurance fraud, its identification and prevention is one of the most topical and essential problems in the insurance industry. The research aim is to assess property and casualty insurance market trends in line with the insurance fraud. The research mainly applies the monographic descriptive method as well as the methods of analysis and synthesis. Content analysis is used to study case laws and analyse insurance fraud cases. The research results demonstrate that in Latvia, the annual amount of compensations paid by insurance companies due to fraudulent claims may range between EUR 7.55 million (in case of 5% fraud) and EUR 30.10 million (in case of 20% fraud). Yet, 20% of fraudulent cases might basically refer to the recent pandemic years like 2021 and 2022. The most popular and serious insurance fraud cases relate to a car theft, staged accidents, submission of false documents and hidden actual causes of the fire in property insurance. The analysed court cases report fine, forced labour and even imprisonment as penalty measures for the committed insurance fraud.
Transformation of the historical heritage and spatial perception of Ilūkste
Authors: Ziemeļniece Aija
Published: January 2024

The development plan of the Upper Daugava Region (2022-2027) identifies Ilūkste as a potentially strong development centre of regional importance. The plan is designed to improve the quality of roads of regional importance infrastructure development and tourism in the Ilūkste area.
This document encourages the initiation of serious cultural landscape research for Ilūkste. The scale of the existing Daugavpils development, the visibility and proximity of the city do not weaken and create strong competition for Ilūkste, but on the contrary - strengthen the revival of Ilūkste as a historic centre alongside a large-scale settlement. That means that on opposite banks of the Daugava there are two different urban spaces with different cultural and historical layers and scales.
The preservation of cultural heritage is increasingly being discussed in the forums of the European Union, highlighting the values that are being lost in warfare and in the wastefulness of national economic policies. The problem of heritage conservation is also present in areas where there is no war, but where mistakes have been made due to the ineptitude of the political authorities. This is also true of the Latvian Awakening in the 1990s, when, after the occupation, "business as usual" still continued. With the collapse of collectivisation and the development of private enterprise, no attention was paid to the concepts of landscape, viewpoints, silhouettes, landmarks, climaxes, etc. The smaller the scale of the cultural landscape, the deeper the cracks of neglect that are left in the cultural landscape. The small town of Ilūkste is one example in Latvia.
The loss of the intrinsic spatiality of a historic small town risks transforming not only the perception of place and people at a local level, but also at a regional and national level, thereby changing the character and uniqueness of a nation's living space.
Natural and man-made elements are constantly changing, seeking to adapt. Biological processes, economic and political power, generational change, rapid technological development can all influence the development of an area. As one changes, another is subjected to change, resulting in a complete or partial transformation. This is most evident in small towns, which have long been subject to political change and the outflow of the younger generation to the metropolises. Historical space is thus also surrounded by indifference and neglect. The current municipality of Ilūkste has energetically set to work to recover the historic identity of the settlement, conscious of both the revival of the former Jesuit church and convent and the dismantling or renovation of aesthetically poor-quality buildings.
Role of Endogenous Hormones in Germination and Dormancy and Gene Action on Hormones: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: KC Shreejana
Published: January 2024

Germination and dormancy are pivotal transitions in the seed life cycle, profoundly influenced by endogenous hormones. This review delves into the roles of major phytohormones, including abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellins (GAs), ethylene, Cytokinins, auxins, Jasmonates, and brassinosteroids (BRs) which elucidate their specific functions in promoting germination or maintaining dormancy, emphasizing the underlying molecular mechanisms. The study underscores the genetic underpinning of hormonal action, spotlighting key regulatory genes and their associated pathways. The intricate crosstalk between these hormones is explored, highlighting their collective impact on seed behaviours. Emerging perspectives encompass the role of hormones in priming treatments, stress responses, and seed longevity. Recent advances in genomic and epigenomic studies provide insights into complex feedback loops and the integration of environmental signals. Leveraging technologies like CRISPR/Cas9 has deepened our understanding of genetic influences on hormonal pathways. Overall, this comprehensive review illuminates the interplay between endogenous hormones and seed processes, offering potential strategies for improving germination efficiency and manipulating dormancy.
Molecular Characterization of Fungal Isolates of Locally Processed Rice from Five Agro-Ecological Zones of Nigeria
Authors: RB Abdus-Salaam
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to characterize fungal isolates contaminating locally processed rice in Nigeria and to assess the genetic similarity in the fungi isolates. Fungal species were characterized by amplification of a segment of the β-tubulin gene using Bt2aF (5’-GGTAACCAAATCGGTGCTGCTTTC-3’) and Bt2bR (5’ACCCTCAGTGT GT GACCCTTGGC-3’) primers and phylogenetic relationship established using the Maximum Likelihood method. Amplification of between 450 and 550bp of the β-tubulin region of the genomic DNA of the fungal isolates was obtained from thirty-eight samples (89%). Members of Aspergillus section flavi and section nigri groups were differentiated as A. flavus, A. parasiticus, A. tubigensis, A. sydowii and A. niger respectively. Molecular method identified Paecilomycesformosus with 99% similarity index while all the morphologically identified Penicillium species were identified to genus level as P. formosus, P. steckii and P. citrinum with a percentage similarity ranging from 95%-100%. Collectotrichum fruticola and Talaromyces flavus from SGS and NGS zone respectively were documented for the first time in the locally processed rice with 100% and 89% similarity index respectively. All the Aspergillus species were closely related to one another and narrowly diverged from the Penicillium species. Aspergilla and Penicillia were the predominant genera identified and the isolates were genetically similar irrespective of their agroecological zones.
