Authors: T Lau Billy
Published: April 2023

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.06.22.497080v1 Epigenetic characterization of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is an emerging approach for detecting and characterizing diseases such as cancer. We developed a strategy using nanopore-based single-molecule sequencing to measure cfDNA methylomes. This approach generated up to 200 million reads for a single cfDNA sample from cancer patients, an order of magnitude improvement over existing nanopore sequencing methods. We developed a single-molecule classifier to determine whether individual reads originated from a tumor or immune cells. Leveraging methylomes of matched tumors and immune cells, we characterized cfDNA methylomes of cancer patients for longitudinal monitoring during treatment.

Introduction: Influenza is an upper respiratory infection is caused by the influenza virus. It occurs throughout the whole year in Malaysia with occasional outbreaks. Influenza-like illnesses (ILI) are generally treated as outpatient care while the more severe â€˜SARIâ€™ is managed in patient care. The Casemix system, used in healthcare professionals' practices, may help in estimating the cost of influenza management.Methods: This cross-sectional study extracts the cost of influenza management from different public hospitals in years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Data used selected ICD-10 codes, and the cost was abstracted from Malaysian Diagnostic Related Groups (MyDRG) software. The secondary data are from 2 sources, an urban teaching hospital Hospital Cancellor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) and Ministry of Health (MoH) inpatient hospitals database. The sample size of the study was 586, while a structured datasheet collating patientsâ€™ sociodemographic data and cost of admission, per case, was obtained from the MyDRG software. Microsoft Excel and SPSS software were used in the analysis.Results: Most influenza cases (61.8%) are between the ages of 0 and 10, Malays, and have similar gender proportions. Overall, the influenza treatment cost for inpatient care, totalled to RM 294,017,112. In 2018, the GDP for health consumed 3.76% of Malaysia's GDP income of RM 1.4 trillion, with an estimated RM 60,339 million used for health. Thus, the three-year public cost consumed 0.5% of 2018 GDP.Conclusion: Influenza screening at the primary healthcare setting, health education and treatment compliance should be scale-up to minimize the cost of influenza management of the public providers.

The utilization of geomagnetic field data especially in the ultra-low frequency range has been shown by prior studies to have the potential to detect earthquake precursors. The most widely used signal processing method for this purpose is arguably the polarization ratio analysis. In this paper, the method was improved by introducing a new normalization process with dissimilar ranges for the vertical and horizontal components. The normalized method was applied to geomagnetic field data that were recorded at locations near the earthquakes which had occurred in Sumatra, Indonesia on 30th September 2009 (M7.6) and Honshu, Japan on 12th May 2015 (M6.8) to evaluate the method’s reliability and effectiveness in two different regions, i.e., the equatorial and mid-latitudinal regions. The results showed that the precursors obtained from the normalized method were less disturbed by random fluctuations and had more distinguishable amplitudes compared to the non-normalized classic method in both studied regions.

Published: April 2023

Human trafficking is a serious issue that has received international attention since the 1990s and has affected security and human rights, including Malaysia. In Malaysia, this crime is increasing despite various eradication efforts carried out by the Malaysian Government in terms of policy, legislation, enforcement, care and protection, media and publicity and awareness. The Report on Human Trafficking issued by the United States (TIP) 2021 states that Malaysia has been downgraded to Level 3, which is an unsatisfactory level. Therefore, this study aims to examine the issue of human trafficking in Malaysia during the post pandemic era by focusing its analysis on challenges and preventive measures that the government can take to fill the gaps in the enforcement of government policies and legislation. This research was conducted using qualitative methods using primary sources obtained from in-depth interviews, direct observation through field studies in selected areas as well as document analysis from authoritative sources such as official government documents and reports. The findings of the study conclude that there are two main challenges facing Malaysia in dealing with the issue of human trafficking, First, the enforcement aspect, mainly the coordination between the various responsible government agencies. Second, the delay in prosecution is an obstacle to the resolution of this issue from a legal perspective. Thus, this study found that it is very timely for the government to implement more proactive, effective measures continuous efforts to solve the crime of human trafficking in Malaysia.
Peculiarities of stems flattening at two-phase fiber flax harvesting technology
Authors: Zintsov Alexander N. , Dobretsov Vyacheslav A. , Sokolov Valery N.
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Based on the analysis of the morphological features of fiber flax, authors focus on the technical part of the stem, which contains fiber. To improve the quality and for most complete isolation of this product, the process of tissue maceration should be stimulated by stem flattening.
AIMS: Search of methods and means of obtaining the maximum effect from the use of two-phase flax harvesting technology, by ensuring uniform flattening along the entire technical length of the stems, starting from the earliest stages of harvesting.
METHODS: It is noted that the greatest effect of flattening can be achieved with two-phase flax harvesting. However, all known methods and devices involve a time gap between the flattening of different parts of a plant, which leads to a delay in the onset of maceration in untreated parts of a stem, delaying harvesting and reducing the quality of the fiber. Therefore, stems should be flattened immediately along their entire technical length at the earliest stages simultaneously with the pulling of flax, without flattening only the remaining part of the total length of plants, on which seed pods are located.
RESULTS: It has been found that the size of the flattening zone in the plant ribbon is not constant. Therefore, in order to reduce the likelihood of damage to seed bolls by flattening rollers with maintaining the high accuracy of the implementation of the proposed method, it is necessary to place the upper edge of the flattening rollers at the level of the upper limit of the technical length of plants, to form a stem stand, uniform in height, with a compact area of seed bolls, reduce the galloping of flax harvesters when moving over irregularities of field surface and use such working bodies that provide the minimum longitudinal shift of the stems in the formed ribbon.
CONCLUSIONS: An analysis of the existing means of mechanization showed that preference should be given to the TLP-1.5K trailed flax puller, which is lighter and cheaper and should be equipped with a flattening machine, in order to implement the proposed method.

Authors: Krokhta Gennady M. , Khomchenko Egor N. , Usatykh Nikolai A. , Ivannikov Alexey B.
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Efficiency of modern internal combustion engines is no more than 40%, while the significant part of exergy, released during fuel combustion, dissipates in the environment through exhaust, coolant liquid and heated details. Meanwhile, the urgent problem of operating a tractor in low ambient temperature conditions is sustaining of optimal thermal condition for the sake of decreasing of losses, increasing of combustion efficiency and, as a consequence, increasing of operating efficiency.
AIMS: Efficiency assessment of use of the complex system of utilization of thermomechanical exergy of diesel engine exhaust. Justification of type and number of stages of exhaust exergy utilization for diesel engines of vehicles and tractors for a wide range of ambient temperatures and loading conditions.
METHODS: To accomplish given aims, theoretical and experimental studies were carried out in order to assess exhaust exergy potential in dependence on engine loading conditions and ambient temperature. Comparative studies of the D-440 and the SMD-62 engines were carried out, making it possible to assess the influence of exhaust system design features on amount of exergy losses.
RESULTS: Exhaust performance losses of the SMD-62 engine with the TKR-11N-1 turbocharger at nominal mode were 0.8. Meanwhile, maximal exhaust performance losses at idle mode are 0.92. Authors suggested the special method of analysis of certain exhaust exergy components, which allows analyzing possible ways of its secondary use. The obtained equations determine quantitative and qualitative ratios between exhaust exergy components in comparison to maximal exhaust exergy potential to be utilized.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on experimental data analysis and its statistical processing, it follows that middle powered engines have limited resources of waste heat. Theoretically, it should be enough for ensuring the turbocharger operation and sustaining of thermal condition in a gearbox and a cooling system in winter.
Comparative analysis of the working bodies of the vibrating mixer of bulk feed
Authors: Yatsunov Alexander N. , Sabiev Uahit K.
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: The paper is devoted to the preparation of highly homogeneous bulk feed mixtures. It is known that the efficiency of the mixing process increases significantly when vibra-tion is applied, while reducing the time to achieve maximum uniformity of the mixture and reduc-ing the energy costs of mixing. In some cases, vibration can only intensify the main process, and in others it can cause specific vibration effects that are used for mixing.
AIMS: Increasing the homogeneity of the mixture due to vibration effects.
METHODS: A laboratory-experimental vibrating mixer of continuous bulk feed has been de-veloped for conducting research. Its general structure and principle of operation are considered, the influence of design features of replaceable working bodies on the quality of the mixing pro-cess is analyzed.
RESULTS: Comparative analysis has shown that mixing elements with complex vibration con-tact surfaces provide a sufficiently high quality of the resulting mixture, but the mixer perfor-mance is relatively low. To increase productivity while maintaining consistently high quality, flat working bodies with holes in the form of isosceles triangles are proposed. During the studies of their work, a decrease in the uniformity of the resulting mixture was revealed, therefore, it is pro-posed to install concave or curved triangular plates under the holes. This technical solution allows us to obtain the quality of the feed mixture that meets the requirements without reducing produc-tivity.
An additional way to intensify the mixing process, regardless of the type of working bodies, is the hinge fastening of the mixing elements. In addition, using a special mechanism, it is possi-ble to change the speed of mass movement inside the vibrating trough and, accordingly, the per-formance of the entire installation as a whole and the mixing intensity.
CONCLUSIONS: All types of mixing elements have been successfully tested. The laboratory-experimental vibrating mixer has passed the production test as part of a small-sized feed unit.
The article describes the history of the development and creation of the first domestic neutralizers of exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, which began with testing and research of foreign neutralizers. Sequential stages of design, study and testing of domestic converters for gasoline and diesel engines are considered. There are described the following processes: the process of developing methods for testing engines for toxicity and the process of creating estimated indicators and developing normative and technical documents in the field of toxicity of engines and vehicles.

Published: April 2023

INTRODUCTION: This article discusses the experience of using additive technologies at agricultural engineering enterprises for the manufacture of new types of equipment. A comparative analysis of the strength properties of materials used for 3D printing is presented. The calculation of the economic efficiency of the use of additive technology is also given.
BACKGROUND: Currently, additive technologies are being actively introduced into production, and in particular in the manufacture of parts at agricultural engineering enterprises. In this regard, the current research topic is the use of 3D printing to create parts.
AIMS: Introduction of new methods for creating parts and their prototypes, with the aim of import substitution of parts and improvement of own production at agricultural engineering enterprises.
METHODS: In the course of the study, an analysis of the materials was carried out. At the same time, it was noted that ABC plastic is well machined and has the highest bending strength. Flex plastic has high elastic properties. PLA plastic is more tear resistant than ABC plastic, but it is more rigid, which limits its use in connectors. As a result, ABC plastic was chosen for further work on the use of additive technology. The manufactured working samples of parts were installed on a seeder and experimental crops were carried out.
RESULTS: As a result of the analysis, the positive aspects of the application of this technology were noted. The characteristics of 3D printing methods are given. An analysis was also made of the materials from which the parts can be made. The strength properties of plastics are presented and a comparative characteristic is given with materials used in traditional technologies for manufacturing parts. In order to introduce additive technology for the manufacture of parts for one of the enterprises in Omsk, samples were made. Details were made according to the drawings of the enterprise: a sleeve connecting the seed tube and the coulter in the seeders. To do this, 3D models were created in the КОМПАС-3D program and, using a 3d printer, the elements of the sowing machine were printed: a plug, small-seed and large-seed coils. These parts were installed on the СС-11 seeder.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of additive technology in agricultural enterprises may be due to the following factors: the part is unloaded or lightly loaded, there is a sufficient supply of time before the product is delivered to the customer, the resulting prototype meets all technical requirements, the prototype has passed strength tests. As a result of the experiments, it was found that the deviation of the seeding rate of the manufactured coil using 3D printing from the original one does not exceed the allowable limits of 5% and amounted to 10-20 gr. The conducted experiments and economic justification show that additive technology can be used to manufacture prototype parts.

Authors: Uyutov Sergey Yu. , Godzhaev Zakhid A.
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: The use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as alternative helps to eliminate a number of drawbacks related to fuel-air ratio. The high-priority problem is development of means and methods of reduction of environment pollution, specifically targeted researches in the field of alternative fuel with minimal harmful emissions into the environment, increase of availability of this technology by means of reducing the costs of adaptation of the fuel injection system of a diesel engine.
AIMS: The main aim of the study is justification of parameters of the diesel engine operating according to gas-diesel cycle with the spark dose ignition.
METHODS: The studies were carried out at the brake bench equipment of the MMZ D-243 diesel engine. The distributed liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supply system with an ignition dose of diesel fuel was tested with automatic change of the gas supply angle and including exhaust gases in the intake manifold in the recycling system. Adaptation of the diesel engine to LPG allows the fuel injection system to operate in both diesel and gas-diesel mode, while the electronic regulation of the diesel fuel supply in the "diesel" mode occurs more accurately and helps to reduce the consumption and final combustion of diesel fuel in the exhaust manifold. The standard equipment for distributed LPG supply widely used for transferring gasoline engines with spark ignition is applied. The chosen domestically made electronic control unit was configured according to the methodology for controlling the gas supply in the cylinders developed in Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center VIM.
RESULTS: The studies showed that the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere decreased in all operation modes of the engine in the gas-diesel mode and complies with the Euro-5 standard. Due to the 2,5 times lower price of LPG compared to diesel fuel, the cost of using LPG as a replacement for diesel fuel in the "gas diesel" mode is reduced by 2530% of the cost of agricultural crops. The use of LPG in gas-diesel engines reduces the cost of agricultural products by 1518%.
CONCLUSIONS: These indicators confirm the relevance of scientific research in the development of the diesel engine adaptation system. The gas-diesel fuel injection system of the engine is the main effective way to reduce diesel fuel costs.

Published: April 2023

Sinema filmlerindeki mesaj izleyicisi üzerindeki temsil gücünü aktive etmektedir. Bu gücün engelli kadınlarla ilgili toplumsal algıyı nasıl şekillendirdiğini anlayabilmek için sinema filmlerinin sosyal hizmet bakış açısıyla incelenmesi gereklidir. Engellilik ve toplumsal cinsiyet dezavantajlarına sahip olup kesişimsel ayrımcılığa uğrayan engelli kadınlar sinemada çoğunlukla negatif imajlar ile tasvir edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türk Sineması’nda yer alan engelli kadın karakterlerin sunumunu ahlaki, tıbbi, sosyal ve insan hakları engellilik modelleri çerçevesinde inceleyerek filmlerdeki imajlarını sosyal hizmet bakış açısı ile ortaya çıkarmaktır. Böylece sosyal hizmetin güçlendirici yaklaşımının sinema aracılığıyla engelli kadınları nasıl güçlendirilebileceğini tartışmaktır. Eleştirel söylem analizindeki Siegfried Jäger’in yaklaşımının yöntem olarak kullanıldığı araştırmada baş rolünde engelli kadın karakter sunumu olan 8 film analiz edilmiştir. Böylece hem söylemin yapısal analizine hem de dönemlere odaklanan bir analiz yapılmıştır. Filmlerin içerikleri sekiz tema öbeği altında toplanmıştır: Kurban edilme, kurbanlaştırma; cinsiyetsizleştirme veya kadın olduğunu vurgulama, erkeksilik, cinsel şiddet mağduru olma; muhtaç, çaresiz, savunmasız olma, desteğe ihtiyaç duyma; kısıtlama, aşırı koruyup kollanma; duyarsız kalma, dışlanma, aşağılama; saklı, sessiz, pasif; bağımlı olma; negatif imajlarla mücadele. Çalışmada Yeşilçam Sineması’nda tıbbi ve ahlaki model ağırlıklı bakış açısıyla engelli kadın temsilinin hasta, muhtaç, bağımlı ve cinsiyet rollerinden uzak tasvir edildiği tespit edilmiştir. 2000 Sonrası Türk Sineması’nda ise sosyal modelin hâkim olduğu, topluma adapte olmaya çalışan ancak iş, eğitim ve aile kurma noktasında toplumsal bariyerler ile karşılaşan bir temsil söz konusudur. İnsan hakları modeline ise çok az vurgu yapılmıştır.

Authors: Kosiorek Piotr , Waloch Dorota , Kosel Juliusz , Safrończyk Renata
Published: April 2023

Background: Interpreting the electrocardiography (ECG) recording in young athletes is challenging for the sports doctor. Changes in intraventricular conduction and early ventricular repolarization observed during sports training are not always confirmed in the literature. We test healthy people and look for irregularities in their ECG records. The study aims to draw attention to ST-Elevation (STE) as a variant of the White Athlete's heart norm, with a frequency lower than an inverted T wave (TWI), but also as an effect of early repolarization of the ventricles in young athletes. Is it physiology? Case report: 14-year-old football player, examined for five years at a sports clinic, cardiology checked every year. Changes like symptomatic adult ECGs with STE and myocardial necrosis were suspected during our observation. Echocardiography, stress test good. A simple response to exercise is to adapt the athlete's heart by ischemia, preconditioning for the heart muscle, and a reversible remodelling that disappears after the sports period. We focus on changes in ECG, which are observed in athletes under 14 years of age, while most of the ECG classifications in an athlete were described above 16 years of age. Conclusion: the variant observed in our White Athlete is an example of several similar repolarization changes in ECG not yet classified as physiological or resulting from intensive training.

Authors: Husna Muhimmatul , Salamah Umi , Herman Welly , Agwil Winalia
Published: April 2023

The development of oil palm nurseries in Bengkulu is constrained by plant media, such as ultisol soil, which has low nutrients. Nutrients in ultisol can be equipped by organic matters such as manure and liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). Moreover, the light intensity also could affect seeds growth. This research aimed to determine the improvement of oil palm in pre-nursery as affected by LOF, types of manure application, and shade to obtain the best treatment combination. The research was conducted from June until September 2021 in Beringin Raya, Bengkulu city. The study was arranged in a split-plot design in a completely randomized block design consisting of 3 factors with three replications. The main plot was shade percentage ((N1=50% dan N2=75%), the subplot was liquid organic fertilizer doses ((B1=0%, B2=5% and B3=10%), the sub subplot was the types of manure (P1=cow manure, P2=chicken manure, P3=goat manure, and P4= without manure). The observation was made on the growth components of oil palm seedlings until 3.5 months. There was an interaction between shade, LOF, and types of manure to the number of leaves. There was no interaction between LOF and types of manure. The shade did not affect the growth factors of the seeds. Applying 10% LOF can improve the growth of oil palm seedlings. Chicken manure has the highest variable value on the hump diameter and the number of leaves seedlings.

Published: April 2023

Soil cover has a physical, chemical, and biological effect on weed suppression. Although it depends on factors such as location and weed pressure, vegetation cover can even eliminate the need for herbicide application. Considering that the weeds popularly known as pigweed (Amaranthus sp.) have been expanding in agricultural areas and the use of only one form of management is not recommended for their control, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of using cover crop phytomass to control species of the genus Amaranthus. Soil vegetation cover at different percentage levels was evaluated in the control of the following weed species: Amaranthus hybridus, Amaranthus deflexus, and Amaranthus viridis, previously sown. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial scheme (9x4), with four replications. The treatments resulted from the combination of nine cover crops with Crotalaria species (Crotalaria juncea, Crotalaria breviflora, and Crotalaria spectabilis), black oats (Avena strigosa), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis), pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan), lablab bean (Dolichos lablab), and pencilflower (Stylosanthes macrocephala), and four percentage levels of phytomass (control – no phytomass; 50%, 100%, and 200% of the total mean production, identified as CONTROL, T50%, T100%, and T200%, respectively), with four replications. Black oats, pencilflower, and jack bean showed higher potential for controlling Amaranthus hybridus and Amaranthus deflexus, while sorghum and jack bean were more efficient in controlling Amaranthus viridis. Regarding the amount of green mass, the amounts T100% and T200% were the most promising in suppressing weeds.

Published: April 2023

This research project will explore migrant workers’ experiences with the patronage-based kafala system in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. While many research attempts have delved into disclosing the restricted and exploitative aspects of the varying experience of the migrant workers, there is still a dearth of attempts that explore the way the migrant workers flexibly and strategically employ their multiple and intersecting identities to seek upward professional and social mobility. Through the implementation of an intersectional and actor-centered approach, and the use of a qualitative design, this project seeks to explore the dynamic interaction between migrant actors and representatives of institutions in Jordan. By pursuing a qualitative and intersectional analysis of the migrant workers’ experiences with the kafala system, the project aims to contribute to a better understanding of the interplay of transborder mobility and institutional dynamics.
Discussion competence in the structure of modern engineer training
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Mikheev Sergey A.
Published: April 2023

Introduction. In the course of the study we have identified a contradiction consisting, on the one hand, in the increased requirements to the level of communicative training of technical specialists in post-industrial society. On the other hand, there is an almost complete lack of research on the problem of forming a discussion competence of future engineers. Based on the abovementioned, the author has formulated the goal of this paper. It consists in defining the place of the discussion competence in the structure of modern engineer training, caused by the networking and socio-technical transformation of technical activity. Theoretical analysis. The generalization of philosophical and pedagogical approaches to the study of engineering activity (EA) allowed us to classify the functions of a modern engineer according to the nature of the tasks to be solved. The classification revealed that under the influence of networking and socio-technical transformation of engineering activity there is a growing demand for engineers who are ready to implement professional tasks based on socio-technical functions. The correlation between the engineers’ mastery of the discussion competence and the effectiveness of their implementation of sociotechnical functions: design, research, organizational and managerial, was revealed. Conclusion. The study made it possible to draw a general conclusion about the need to distinguish the discussion competence as an independent element in the structure of universal competences and to include discussion training in the curriculum of technical universities in two directions: traditional (offline discussions) and network (online discussions).
The dialectics of platformization
Authors:   Stolypin Volga Region Institute of Administration of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Shatkin Maxim A.
Published: April 2023

Introduction. In the presented article the analysis of the phenomenon of platformization with the use of the dialectical method was carried out. Theoretical analysis. The premise of platformization is the identity of the idea and the business model, as well as value and cost. The starting point for the movement of the idea of platformization is the request (of the subject to the platform and back), inseparably connected with its opposite – the access. The synthesis of request and access is seduction as an appeal to make requests to gain access to benefits which in fact turn out to be imaginary. The revealed reality of seduction, which seeks guaranteed and predictable results, is grasped by the notion of surveillance. Surveillance is implemented in the quantitative analysis of the subject’s behavior to calculate the probability of his behavior and to increase it through immersiveness, which allows to collect as much data as possible, and learning. For a subject, learning is a requirement for the constant acquisition of new behavior patterns and is a value without cost, i.e., a form of alienation of the subject from public good. For platforms, learning refers to the acquisition of data-in-themselves-and-for-themselves-being in machine intelligence. Conclusion. Machine intelligence today is an incomplete stage of platformization without pronounced internal moments, so the dialectical analysis should stop at this stage.

Introduction. The purpose of the article is to consider the specifics of the approach to religious and mystical experience in the psychoanalytic tradition from the point of view of revealing the degree of its interdisciplinarity. Theoretical analysis. Using the methods of critical philosophical reflection and dialectical logic, as well as relying on the principle of development, the authors analyze the emergence of the figure of a “psychoanalytic mystic”, going in the direction of overcoming the antithesis of the scientific nature of psychoanalytic theory and the non-scientific nature of religious and mystical phenomena. At the same time, special attention is focused on the factors of interdisciplinary interaction that contributed to the meaningful renewal of psychoanalysis. Conclusion. The logic of the study led to the conclusion that interdisciplinarity manifested itself not simply in borrowing, but in the germination of religious and mystical, and along with them, esoteric elements of spiritual practice within the framework of theory and practice of psychoanalysis.

Introduction. Parental attitude is a condition for the child’s development, including his temporal characteristics - features of the attitude to time. Theoretical analysis. The attitude to time as a manifestation of adult temporality is due to the reflective idea of parental attitude towards him. There are differences in perceptions of parental relationships in subjects with temporal dependence, indifference, and plasticity as manifestations of adult temporality. Empirical analysis. The respondents were 209 people aged 25 to 31 years. The method “Ratio to Time Scale” as well as “Parental Attitude Test Questionnaire” were used. It was found that adults with time dependence at a high level have such parameters of reflexive representation of parental attitude as symbiosis, authoritarian hypersocialization and attitude to failures. Whereas respondents with temporary indifference have these indicators at a low level. For subjects with temporal plasticity, the expression of acceptance and cooperation as indicators of a reflective view of parental attitudes is of leading importance. Conclusion. The obtained data can be used to transform the temporality of the personality by correcting the parental attitude or an adult's reflexive representation of it.

The study appears to be relevant since it addresses the research gap in the question how the way school life is organized influences students’ perception of various aspects of everyday life at school. Notably, the subject of this research is not the objective facts of school everyday life, but their representation in the minds, opinions, and assessments of high school students. The article suggests the model of school everyday life as a research object; this model is based on the investigation of various approaches to the analysis of everyday life (socioanthropological, socio-psychological, socio-pedagogical). The goal of the study is to identify the influence external organization of school life has on the peculiarities of senior high schoolers’ everyday life. The hypothesis of the study is as follows: The forms of school life organization as well as the specifics of the school community are reflected in the importance of the topics students discuss outside the classroom, their “attachment” to the functional tools of the Internet, and the prevalence of Internet slang and obscene language in the speech of tenth-graders. The participants were the tenth-grade students (N = 143) of the gymnasium (n = 75) and the lyceum (n = 68) (the city of Ulyanovsk) aged from 16 to 17 years. The following methods were used: “The Circles Test” (Thomas J. Cottle) was used to determine the characteristics of school t ime perception; “The Test of Color Relations” (A. M. Etkind, N. M. Platonova) was used to fix the parameters of the socio-physical space of school everyday life; a questionnaire was utilized to identify the main demographic characteristics and characteristics of the personalized material “world” of school everyday life. The results of the research are as follows: Tenth-graders’ past school experience influences the personal value of the “school past, present and future”; The perception of the physical space of an educational organization depends on its “appropriation” and psychological safety of use; The data are presented on the differences in the content and styles of high schoolers’ communication outside of the classroom depending on the characteristics of their educational organizations; Tenth-graders’ attitude towards the norms of “a school look” as well as the use of gadgets is shown to be linked to the extent to which “school behavior” is regulated in their educational organization. The article concludes that the form of school life organization is a factor influencing some characteristics of the everyday life of senior high schoolers. The study emphasizes the practical application of further research on the issues of interest.

M.Ö. 2000 yıllarında Anadolu’ya gelen Hint-Avrupa kökenli Hititler M.Ö. 1650’de Kızılırmak Havzası’nda yer alan Hattuşa (Boğazköy) merkezli bir devlet kurmuşlardır. Orta Anadolu’da kurulan bu devlet ilerleyen süreçte büyük bir imparatorluk haline gelmiştir. Farklı etnik kökenlere sahip toplulukları bünyesinde barındıran Hititler kendilerini “Bin Tanrılı Halk” olarak adlandırmışlardır. Fethettikleri bölgelerin tanrılarını kendi tanrılarının arasına dâhil eden Hititler geniş bir tanrılar topluluğuna sahip olmuştur. Bu tanrıların arasında Hatti, Luvi, Pala, Sümer, Hurri, Asur, Babil ve Eski Hint kökenli tanrılar yer almaktadır. Boğazköy’de gerçekleştirilen kazılarda pek çok tapınak yapısının ortaya çıkarılması Hititlerin tanrılarına verdikleri önemi göstermektedir. Bu makalede kendisine kaynaklık eden arkeolojik ve filolojik verilerden yola çıkılarak bir devlet dini olan Hitit dini, Hitit dininin genel özellikleri, Hitit panteonunda yer alan tanrılar, bu tanrılar için yapılmış olan tapınaklar, tanrılar adına yapılan bayram törenleri, tanrıların ve insanların konumu, büyü ritüelleri, fal ve kehanet uygulamaları, dualar ve mitolojik hikâyeler çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır.

Published: April 2023

Objectives: Atrial high-rate episodes (AHRE) can occur in patients who have permanent pacemakers (PPM). AHRE is classified as subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF). Also, AHRE is related to clinical AF. Epicardial fat tissue (EFT) thickness is linked to AF. The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between AHRE and EFT thickness in PPM patients.
Methods: Forty patients with dual-chamber PPM were enrolled. Transthoracic echocardiography was used to measure the thickness of the EFT. Patients were examined in 2 groups according to whether there was AHRE in the records: group 1 (AHRE) and group 2 (AHRE-free). A high atrial rate of more than 175 beats per minute for more than 5 minutes was defined as AHRE. The findings of the standard 2-dimensional echocardiography and the Doppler echocardiography were all recorded. A statistical relationship between EFT thickness and the development of AF was investigated.
Results: Group 1 had ten patients, while Group 2 included thirty individuals. When the demographic features of the two groups were compared, they were similar. Both groups had similar 2-D echocardiographic and Doppler results. The difference in EFT thickness between groups 1 (2.0 ± 1.1 mm) and 2 (2.9 ± 1.8 mm) was not statistically significant (p = 0.138).
Conclusions: In patients with PPM, AHRE may develop after implantation and may be detected asymptomatically in periodic follow-up. In this population, we did not observe a significant association between EFT thickness and the development of AF.
