Jana Ziółkowskiego rozrachunki z polską historią ("Kawaler złotej ostrogi")
Authors: Olszewska Maria Jolanta
Published: December 2023

Jan Ziółkowski’s historical novel entitled Kawaler złotej ostrogi (1967), which was preceded by the trilogy Homo novi (1955), is about the events of the first half of the 16th century. By means of historical narration, the author conducts a debate with Sienkiewicz’s vision of the Polish history, created “to comfort the hearts”. This allows the writer to reconcile with the idealized image of the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth, preserved in social mentality, deconstruct its image and create an alternative to Sienkiewicz’s narration. Difficult, painful, humiliating and embarrassing issues, such as social and national differences, submission (race differentiation, dominance, subordination, inequality, oppressiveness), as well as national vices, come to the fore in the novel. The plot is about the life of three characters: Marek Jakimowski – a Catholic nobleman, Stefan Satanowski – an Arian nobleman, and Jan Stołczyn – a liberated peasant. Each of the characters experiences oppression because of an unjust system based on the principles of “golden freedom”. Ziółkowski used a traditional model of a historical novel, creatively transformed the sources that were accessible to him, and built his own historical reconciliation narrative. This is an example of engaged writing.
Obraz lat 50. XX wieku w prozie epistolarno­‑wspomnieniowej Antonína Bajaji "Nad piękną modrą Dřevnicą"
Authors: Królak Joanna
Published: December 2023

The purpose ofthe paper is the interpretation of the novel Nad piękną modrą Dřevnicą by Antonin Bajaja in terms of the image of the Stalinist period in Czechoslovakia. The interpretive perspective has been determined by the theory of letter (Stefania Skwarczyńska and Anita Całek), the category of autobiographical memory, autobiographical place, as understood by Małgorzata Czermińska, as well as autotherapy through work with memory. By bringing back memories in the letters to his sister, the narrator updates the concept of his identity and reshapes his self­‑awareness, which was manipulated in his childhood by the communist propaganda. The mechanisms behind this propaganda are revealed years later by the protagonist­‑narrator. The schizophrenic type of life under communist rule has been illustrated by the example of the family and city Zlina/Gottwaldova.
Przemrażanie historii. "Lód" Jacka Dukaja jako metapowieść historiograficzna
Authors: Ryrych Tomasz
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to demonstrate that Lód by Jacek Dukaj might be interpreted – referring to the methodology of Linda Hutcheon – as a historiographic metanovel. The most important element indicating such a clue is the shift from an allohistorical narration to a story about the nature of history itself. Dukaj treats history as if it were a personal character in his novel. The notable and almost freezing over presence of history in Lód proves that an attempt at this kind of reading enables interpretive endeavours in the context of the entire contemporary historiographic discourse that was initiated by the works of Hutcheon or Hayden White. The traces of postmodernist persiflage allow to look at Dukaj’s novel in a context that is much broader than only word‑building fiction, which is far too often categorized as popular literature. The author of Lód – as I have been trying to show – has turned his work into a treatise about the mechanisms that rule history, posthistory and postmemory, which in the Polish culture seems to be a direct answer to the concept of romantic paradigm, as proposed by Maria Janion.

'Córa Sienkiewicza'. „Złota wolność" Zofii Kossak. Historia i współczesność
Authors: Bujnicki Tadeusz
Published: December 2023

A historical novel Złota wolność by Zofia Kossak‑Szczucka, connects the beginning ofthe 17th century with modern times. It was written right after the May Coup and became an argument in political‑ideological polemics. However, it did not lose the character of a proper historical novel, but when it is read against the background of the journalism of those days, it acquires the characteristics of a great comparison of the two eras. The author of the article conducted a comparative analysis of a novel and journalism of a conservative journal „Czas”, in which Zofia Kossak published her novel. Historical politics practiced in the journal by distinguished journalists, references to historical School of Krakow and its generalizations, make it possible to recreate the ideological concept of a novel: respect for the rule of “the strong hand”, opposition to anarchy and the spirit of “rebellion”, reluctance towards “sejmocracy” and “party favouritism”. The author emphasizes the role of great leaders: Stanisław Zółkiewski and Karol Chodkiewicz, as well as an “ideologist” of changes, a Jesuit Piotr Skarga. The choice of this person enhances the meaning of Catholic axiology. As for the two hetmans, one can notice allusive references to Józef Piłsudski. A separate part in the novel is dedicated to the history of the Arian movement, shown at the moment of its disintegration and internal quarrels. Zofia Kossak presents the history of the Arians as an analogy to party fights in the 1920s. The main characters of the novel, i.e. “Christians”– the Pielszów Brothers – are located in the middle of the most important historical events of the era: in the Zebrzydowski’s rebellion and wars – the Livonian War and the Moscow War – under the leadership of both hetmans. Kossak’s novel can be interpreted in a broad context as a historically motivated warning against the disintegration of an independent country, involved in political fights between parties. According to the author, in order to rescue both the past and the present, authority should be strengthened and social reforms ought to be introduced. The shape of rules can be determined by a strong and authoritarian individual, but supported by national, religiously motivated unity.
Investigation of the Effect of Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) Seed Oil on Pentylenetetrazole-induced Neuronal Damage in HT-22 Cell Line
Authors: Taşkıran Ahmet Şevki , Yıldız Asdemir Tuğba
Published: December 2023

Recent studies have shown the positive effects of Cucurbita pepo L. (pumpkin) seed oil (PSO) in different disease models. However, the effect of PSO on neurological diseases has not been clarified yet. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate the effects of BBS on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced neuronal damage and the possible roles of oxidative and nitrosative stress in this effect in vitro. The HT-22 hippocampal neuronal cell line was used in the study. Cell survival after PTZ-induced neuronal damage was evaluated with the XTT test in the groups. While the effects of BBS on total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) after PTZ were measured with colorimetric commercial kits, its effects on neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) levels were also determined by ELISA kits. In light of the data obtained, it was found that pre-treatment with PSO prevented the decrease in cell survival after exposure to PTZ. In addition, it has been found that PSO normalizes the increase in TOS, nNOS, and NO in neuronal cells after PTZ. As a result, it was determined that the treatment of neuronal cells with PSO prevented neuronal damage caused by PTZ and showed neuroprotective properties. It is thought that PSO may achieve these effects through oxidative and nitrosative systems. Enrichment of a daily diet with PSO might be beneficial in reducing the risks of neurological diseases.
Investigation of the Protective Role of Quercetin on Oxidative Stress and Endoplasmic Stress Pathway in 4-aminopyridine-induced Neuronal Damage
Authors: Taşkıran Ahmet Şevki , Topçu Ayşe
Published: December 2023

Quercetin (QU) is a flavonoid found in different fruits and vegetables. Studies report that QU may have positive effects on neurological diseases. However, the effect of QU on 4-aminopyridine (4-AP)-induced neurodegeneration in neuronal cells is still not fully elucidated. In this study, the effects of QU on 4-AP-induced hippocampal neuron damage in vitro and the possible role of oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress in this effect were investigated. The study was carried out using the HT-22 hippocampal neuronal cell line. The effect of pre-treatment with QU on cell viability after 4-AP-induced neuronal damage was determined by the XTT test. Cells were evaluated histopathologically for apoptotic nuclear change (ANC) using DAPI staining. The effects of QU on oxidative stress (total oxidant state (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS)) occurring after neuronal damage were evaluated with colorimetric commercial kits and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers (activating transcription factor 4 (ATF-4) and C/EBP homologous protein). (CHOP) was measured with the ELISA kits. While the cell viability rate decreased in the cells treated with 4-AP, it was determined that pre-treatment with QU reversed this situation. In terms of histopathology, treatment with 4-AP increased the number of ANC, while QU pre-treatment reduced it. In addition, in terms of biochemical evaluations, TOS, ATF-4, and CHOP increased in neuronal cells after 4-AP, and QU was determined to suppress this increase. In addition, QU normalized the decreased TAS levels following the 4-AP application. As a result, in the HT-22 cell line, it was found that QU treatment had a neuroprotective effect by suppressing oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress in 4-AP-induced neuronal damage.

Authors: Ziya Motalebipour Elmira , Pirestani Akbar
Published: December 2023

Lipoxygenases (LOX) gene family is a type of nonheme iron-containing dioxygenases, which has a very important aspect in plant development and fruit quality. LOX gene, which is responsible for lipid oxidation, the main role for the biosynthesis pathway of unsaturated fatty acids. Although some studies have investigated the LOX gene family in several species including arabidopsis, soybean, peanut and apple, there is no information from Pistachio; and the phylogeny of this gene family in the Pistacia genus is still not determined. In this study, Arabidopsis thaliana LOX1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_104376.3) was selected and used as a query sequence for performing a BLASTN search. Among all sequence query which was found by NCBI platform, 9 sequences were selected for further analysis. Phylogenetic tree of full-length LOX gene sequences from the Pistacia genus was constructed using the Maximum Likelihood method with MEGA software. By using phylogenic analysis, we identified variations in gene structure and revealed the phylogenetic evolutionary relationship of this gene family. Additionally, this may serve as a reference value for assessing the genetic relationships among various LOX genes in Pistacia genus species. This variations provides us the possibility the design the primer to achieve us to find the exact LOX gene in Pistacia genus and future research on the evolutionary history and transgenic research on LOX genes.
A Workshop Example of Basic Design Education in Interior Architecture
Authors: Azkur Hatice Sena , Oral Murat
Published: December 2023

The “Basic Design” is one of the common introductory courses in design disciplines. It has great importance in interior architecture education as it forms the basis of design practice. Education that proceeds through abstract concepts creates difficulties for students to internalize this course. To avoid these difficulties, learning by doing is of great importance. The learning-by-doing approach was carried out in the form of a workshop within the scope of the “Basic Design 1” course of the Department of Interior Architecture at Konya Technical University in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. Students were asked to produce three-dimensional designs using basic design principles and elements. The class was divided into groups of eight people and studies were carried out with a workshop coordinator in each group. The duration of the workshop was planned as four weeks. During the workshop, students learned to use materials and colors, to design an original composition. At the end of the workshop, students learned to embody the abstract concepts they learned during the year by creating a composition that considers functionality and aesthetics. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the workshop, a survey study was carried out after the course period ended. As a result, it has been seen that the intelligibility of Basic Design 1, which is a course taught through abstract concepts, has increased thanks to the workshop.

Authors: Güldane Mehmet , Cingöz Ali
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to obtain an extract rich in bioactive components from yellow onion peels, which are generally considered waste material. Accordingly, a three-factor three-level Taguchi (L9) experimental design with three factors, namely ethanol concentration (A; 50%, 75%, 100%), extraction temperature (B; 30, 40, 50 °C), and sonication time (C; 10, 20, 30 min) was used to optimize the ultrasound-assisted extraction process of onion peel powders. Through Taguchi optimization, the optimum extraction conditions were determined as A2B3C2 to obtain the extract with the highest total phenolic matter (TPM) content and antioxidant activity (DPPH (%)). In addition, the extract produced under A2B1C2 conditions was found to be the richest in total monomeric anthocyanin (TMA) content with the highest level of color pigments. In order to determine the overall optimization conditions and to reduce the three-response optimization process to a single response, the simple sum weighting (SAW) method was used as a multi-criteria decision-making method. As a result of the optimization, it was concluded that an extract rich in bioactive components with optimal TPM and TMA contents and DPPH (%) value could be obtained as a result of sonication at 30 °C for 20 min to onion peel powders mixed with a solvent containing 75% ethanol (A2B1C2). The extraction conditions of bioactive components from yellow onion peels were successfully optimized by the Taguchi-SAW hybrid optimization method.

A TYPOLOGY OF FORCED MIGRATION IN AFRICA
Electric Light Good Vehicles in Singapore
Authors: Mok Wei Yang , Tan Christopher , Rojas Lopez Maria Cecilia
Published: December 2023

Research and efforts for implementing electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly increasing. Most light goods vehicles (LGVs) in Singapore are diesel-propelled internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in 2023. However, the number of electric light goods vehicles (eLGVs) is exponentially increasing, indicating a shift towards economically and environmentally resilient options. This study examines the combined economic, environmental, and operational impacts of implementing eLGVs in Singapore, which distinguishes from previous research that analysed each aspect individually. Considering data and inputs from a specific company, lifecycle cost and emissions analyses were conducted comparing EVs and ICE vehicles. In addition, a survey on operations was conducted targeting respondents with eLGVs in their fleet. Findings indicate that, in Singapore’s context, eLGVs can potentially reduce costs, and savings grow with vehicle utilisation, assuming battery lasts 10-years with minimal degradation. Regarding the environmental impact, although the production of EVs results in higher greenhouse gas emissions, emissions from usage are much lower for eLGVs and further reduced with vehicle usage, resulting in overall lower emissions. Operational challenges identified relate to eLGVs charging time and infrastructure. Recommendations to motivate companies to transition to eLGVs are provided, and an ‘expected lifecycle emissions calculator’ created to compare various types of vehicles.

Abstract
 
The LESON application, now renamed EDVISOR, is a mobile-based application devoted to recording the learning atmosphere and supporting classroom observation supervision activities. Although it has undergone updates, previous research revealed that there are still 24 problems in the application that need further improvement and development. Usability Testing method was chosen to be able to identify problems more deeply and understand the user experience in using the application. This research involved 10 students and 3 lecturers who were given a special task to test the application. Testing was carried out twice, namely before and after design improvements were made. The results of observations and interviews in the initial test revealed 42 new problems, which then became the basis for recommendations for design improvements. Design improvements resulted in a prototype that was close to the final result of the application. After the design improvements, the prototype was tested again with the same users as the initial test. The test results showed an increase in application usability, with an increase in completion rate of 13.19%, an increase in efficiency of 0.016 goals/sec, and an increase in satisfaction of 1.21.

This review aimed to examine review papers on effects of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) on vulnerable groups, specifically malnourished children. While some studies showed negative health effects of UPFs, others showed that UPFs were beneficial. For example, fortified biscuits improved nutrient levels in primary school children and ready-to-use therapeutic foods helped malnourished children. Overall, it is crucial to balance the potential benefits and risks of UPFs. Therefore, policymakers should adopt a multifaceted approach that includes redefinition, reformulation, regulation, and education about the mindful consumption of UPFs.

Authors: Kunto Yohanes Sondang
Published: December 2023

This study examines child malnutrition reduction in Indonesia and whether it was due to improved nutrition in younger cohorts or reversal of malnutrition in older cohorts. Data were from five Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) waves 1993–2015, comprising 59,973 observations from 29,073 children aged 0–19 years. This study used logit models to perform linear decomposition. The results show cohort replacement (AOR=0.992, p<0.01) and intracohort change (AOR=0.979, p<0.01) reduce stunting. However, these effects do not protect younger cohorts from being overweight (AOR=1.073, p<0.01) or prevent older cohorts from thinness (AOR=1.009, p< 0.01). In conclusion, there are cohort effects on child malnutrition reduction in Indonesia.

Introduction
Role of salivary and plasma melatonin levels in oral squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Aurora Jitender Kumar , Tiwari Shamita , Tandon Parul , Saxena Mohit , Singh Pragya , Mishra Prachi
Published: December 2023

Objectives:

The present research aims to look into the variations in levels of plasma and saliva melatonin with the sleep-wake cycle in healthy individuals and its correlation with the levels in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and to explore the possibility of the use of plasma and saliva, as reliable, minimally-invasive/ non-invasive, and biofluids for measuring the levels of melatonin as biomarkers for the diagnosis of OSCC.

Material and Methods:

This comparative case–control prospective study was conducted on histopathologically proven 10 patients suffering from OSCC (Group II) and 10 healthy individuals (Group I) belonging to the age group of 25–65 years. The antecubital fossa region was used to draw peripheral venous blood, which was then centrifuged, and the plasma was kept at −200C. Using the passive drool technique, approximately 5 mL of unstimulated saliva samples were obtained, and the samples were kept at −200C. Both the samples were assayed as early as possible.

Results:

The result obtained was that the salivary and plasma melatonin levels were much higher during evening hours than morning interval in the healthy group (Group I). A similar trend was shown in Group II, compared to patients with OSCC, healthy patients have much higher levels of melatonin in their saliva and plasma.

Conclusion:

Hence, we conclude that the evaluation of the salivary melatonin level of patients suffering from OSCC may be considered reliable as well as non-invasive methods in the early diagnosis of OSCC. Saliva may be considered more advantageous over plasma for being non-invasive, less technique sensitive procedure, and having good patient compliance.
Giant Subclavian Artery Aneurysm
Authors: Nanda Chinmaya , Singh Ajmer , Mehta Yatin
Published: December 2023

Subclavian artery aneurysms are rare peripheral aneurysms. A giant subclavian artery aneurysm can lead to compression of the trachea or brachial plexus, erosion of the lung causing hemoptysis, hoarseness of voice, dysphagia, Horner’s syndrome, and upper extremity deep vein thrombosis. Compression of the trachea and inability to ventilate the patient can be a real challenge for the anesthesiologist and must be anticipated. Computed tomographic angiography is a useful imaging modality for its diagnosis and to rule out additional aneurysms in the body.

BLAST INJURI. ANESTHESIA AND INTRAOPERATIVE INTENSIVE CARE AT THE EARLY HOSPITAL STAGE (ADVANCE NOTICE)
Authors: GRITSENKO S.N. , GAVRILYUK V.P. , BRIK B.A
Published: December 2023

Summary. Explosive injury is a combat multifactorial injury that occurs as a result of the combined damaging effect on the human body of a shock wave, gas jets, fire, toxic products of explosion and combustion, ammunition casing fragments, secondary projectiles. The hostilities taking place in Ukraine present many questions to anesthesiologists regarding the provision of medical care to victims of blast injuries. This type of injury is often associated with damage to 2-4 anatomical sites and sometimes more. Moreover, most of the hospital care is provided in civilian hospitals located close to fighting.

The aim of study. The choice of anesthesia technology and intraoperative intensive therapy in victims of explosive trauma depending on the severity of the explosive trauma and the condition of the patients.

Material and method. During the period March-December 2022, 226 (195 men, 31 women) patients of explosive injuries were admitted to the Zaporizhzhya Regional Clinical Hospital and assessed according to the GKO scale (standardized system for assessing the severity of injuries and the condition of patients.

The results. Before the operation, there was normotension and moderate tachycardia. However, in 25 patients, the systolic blood pressure was less than 90 mm Hg, which required the use of sympathomimetics and infusion therapy with crystalloids and colloids. During the operation, sympathomimetics continued to be used in 42 patients. Norepinephrine was used in 37 patients in a dose of 0.1 to 0.4 μg/kg/min. Phenylephrine – in 5 patients in bolus doses of 20-100 μg.

The indicators of systolic, diastolic, pulse, mean arterial pressure and heart rate at the stage of completion of the operation did not differ significantly from the initial ones. Before the operation, the patients had subcompensated metabolic and respiratory acidosis, hyperoxemia, and increased lactate concentration. At the stage of the operation, the phenomenon of metabolic acidosis increased, as evidenced by a significant increase in the BE indicator. Respiratory acidosis and hyperoxemia persisted. The concentration of lactate in the blood decreased significantly, on average by 21 %, but on average was (4.1±0.1) mmol/l.

Conclusion. Assessing the severity of the patients on the GKO scale allows you to choose the anesthesia technology considering the influence of the drugs used for anesthesia on hemodynamics. At the stages of treatment of the patients of the blast trauma, it was possible to maintain normotension.

İki dönemde verilen farklı azot dozlarının (0, 12, 24 ve 48 kg/da) mısır ile darıcan (Echinochloa crus-galli), kanyaş (Sorghum halepense), şeytan elması (Datura stramonium) ve semizotu (Portulaca oleracea) rekabetine etkisinin değerlendirildiği saksı çalışmalarında, aynı zamanda ekilmiş olan bir adet mısır ve bir adet yabancı otun boyları, biyokütleleri ve toplam biyokütleden aldıkları paylar belirlenmiştir. Azot uygulamalarının daha çok mısır, semizotu ve şeytan elması boyuna katkı sağladığı; kanyaş ve darıcanın boyunda ve biyokütlesinde farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Semizotu biyokütlesinde değişken sonuçlar elde edilirken, artan azot dozlarının şeytan elmasının biyokütlesini ve toplam biyokütleden aldığı payı arttırdığı görülmüştür. Mısır, şeytan elmasının haricindeki diğer yabancı otlarla rekabetinde, artan azot dozlarından etkilenmemiş ya da yabancı otlardan daha çok fayda sağlamıştır. Şeytan elmasının artan yoğunluklarının azot rekabetinde mısıra üstünlük sağlayacağı bu nedenle mücadelesine önem verilmesi gerektiği kanaatine varılmıştır. Azotun mobil bir element olmasından dolayı yabancı otlar ile rekabette mısırın avantajlı duruma geçmesi için şerit gübreleme, damla sulama ile gübreleme gibi metotların tercih edilmesi tavsiye edilmektedir.
Yield and Quality Characteristics of Forage Pea Varieties at Different Phenological Stages
Authors: KARA Emre , SÜRMEN Mustafa
Published: December 2023

Agricultural areas that rely on a single crop for production experience negative soil characteristics, while the benefits of these locations are further diminished by short-term winter fallows. In the ecological conditions of the Aegean Region, cotton-cotton and maize-maize production patterns can be given as examples of this type of production. With the adoption of a sustainable agriculture approach in recent years, the use of winter annual forage crops is quite important in terms of preventing this situation. The inclusion of forage pea in the production patterns both contributes positively to the soil properties and is a potential source of quality roughage. In line with this information, 8 different forage pea varieties (Kirazlı, Ulubatlı, Ürünlü, Gölyazı, Özkaynak, Töre, Taşkent, GAP Pembesi) were harvested at 3 different phenological stages (10%, 50%, 100% flowering) in Aydın ecological conditions. Some agronomic characteristics such as plant height (cm), stem diameter (mm), herbage yield (kg da-1) were measured in the experiment. After the measurements, ADF (%), NDF (%), ADL (%), protein properties and relative feed value were determined. While lower values were found in terms of yield and fiber values in early mowing, higher values were found in terms of crude protein ratio and relative feed value. At the same time, the variety-environment interactions showed differences in both years. Our results demonstrated that 100% flowering is preferable in terms of yield. Differences were observed among the varieties according to yield and quality characteristics. In terms of herbage and crude protein yields, Töre, Taşkent and GAP Pembesi were the most prominent common varieties. In terms of relative feed value, Ulubatlı and Ürünlü are the varieties with high values.

The article studies peasantry’s political activities development in Russia in the first third of the XX century. The reasons and the essence of the Peasant Union in the revolutionary events of 1905–1907 and 1917, the Civil War and in the period of the new economic policy have been revealed. The periods of peasantry’s political activities, conditioned by the state policy transformation in village, have been distinguished. Starting from 1905, the authorities tried to involve peasantry in the political agenda. However, politicization could not be controlled in the conditions of the revolution. Peasantry’s political activities were used by the opposition forces, the SRs and Bolsheviks, who proposed a program understandable to the peasant social psychology. The Third Monarchy suspended the Peasant Union activities. In February 1917, the Union work continued under the control of the SRs. In August 1917, Peasant Congress adopted the SR program documents. Calls to create a union during the Civil War took place against the background of peasants’ disillusionment with the “war communism” policy. In 1921, the idea of creating the Peasant Union was revived. Contradictory nature of Bolshevik policy, the concept of “interlocking” between city and countryside, growing “emergency” and crises of the new economic policy against the background of granting peasants relative economic freedom led to peasant demands growth for protecting their economic rights and creating organizations that resembled trade unions in city. These demands were not institutionalized. The movement reached all strata of village. The surge of demands of the United State Political Department dates from 1927–1928. It is conditioned by the transition to collectivization. It has been concluded that, despite the lack of the Peasant Union concept, diversity of demands, different understanding of association in rural society, movement for its creation testified to increased socio-political activity of the population. When the state policy outlined the rollback of the new economic policy principles, the number of votes in favor of the Union increased. The growth of socio-political tension in villages was evident. The Party began to pursue a policy of social division in villages to prevent radicalization of sentiments.

The current stage of industrial production digital transformation consists in developing and integrating artificial intelligence technologies. Strategic importance of Russian industry intellectualization requires synchronous involvement of all industries in this process in order to ensure effective and proportional development of the country’s economy. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to develop proposals for coordinated and balanced strategizing in the field of intellectual development of the country’s industry. The subject of the study is the relationship of digitalization processes and the use of intelligent technologies with strategies implementation for developing all industries and the Digital Economy National Program. The hypothesis of the study is based on the problem of low efficiency of implementing existing strategies of sectoral development and production digitalization processes, the causal result of which is inconsistency and imbalance of their development in time due to the lack of common views, common standards, and common space of information and communication interaction. Research objectives are to study statistical materials and practical developments in the field of industry digitalization; to analyze the current strategies for developing industrial sectors up to 2035; to analyze the processes of industry digitalization on the basis of reports on implementing the Industry 4.0 concept, various digital platforms for production dispatching, predictive analytics, etc.; to develop the concept of intelligent industrial development and the mechanism of integrating all participants in the processes of digital transformation, including the state. The authors propose the CBS concept for the development of the strategy of industry intellectualization and the mechanism of integrating subjects of the strategic process in a single space of information and communication interaction for the purposes of systematic linkage of industry development strategies on the basis of end-to-end technologies and artificial intelligence.
