Regularities of statistical distributions of a complex of mechanical properties, including the module of elasticity (E), strength () and strain at break (b), high-strength industrial oriented polypropylene (PP) fibers have been analyzed using the Weibull and Gauss models based on large a wide array of measurements (50 identical samples in each series). The values of the statistical Weibull modulus (m) - a parameter characterizing the scatter of the measured values of the data arrays of E,  and b – have been estimated for the PP samples of two types: single fibers (monofilaments) and multifilament fibers consisting from several hundred single fibers. For the PP multifilament fibers, a more correct description of the distributions of E,  and b has been received both in the framework of the normal distribution (Gaussian distribution) and in the framework of the Weibull distribution in comparison with the description of such distributions for the PP monofilaments. The influence of the polymer chain conformation on the regularities of the statistical distributions of E,  and b for the high-strength oriented polymeric materials with different chemical chain structures and the correctness of their descriptions in the framework of the Gauss and Weibull models have been analyzed. For this purpose, the values of m calculated in this work for PP with a helical chain conformation have been compared with the values of m determined by us earlier for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and polyamide-6 with the chain conformations in the form of an in-plane trans-zigzag.

Published: October 2021

It is shown that the adsorption of Be on Re (1010) in the temperature range of 850-950 K leads to the formation of specific adsorption states - surface chemical compounds (SC) of ReBe stoichiometry with a concentration of adsorbed Be atoms of ~ 1.4 • 1015 cm-2. A multilayer film of beryllium (3-4 layers) is destroyed upon heating, and at 900 K all Be atoms leave the surface into the bulk of rhenium, except those that are part of the SC; atoms from the SC, in turn, actively dissolve at T> 1050-1150 K. This corresponds to a decrease in the activation energy of dissolution upon the formation of SC from about 3.3 to 2.7 eV. Thermal desorption of beryllium takes place only at T> 2100 K due to the emergence of Be atoms dissolved in the bulk of the metal onto the surface.

Background. The purpose was to determine the risk factors for reducing the provision of vitamin D (VD) in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and to develop a questionnaire for the rapid identification of children who require monitoring the concentration of 25OHD in the blood. Materials and methods. Clinical and laboratory examination of 78 children aged 2–17 years with JIA was performed. General clinical, biochemical, statistical methods and standardized criterion testing were used. Results. The most unfavorable risk factors for reducing VD provision in children with JIA have been identified, a questionnaire has been developed that can be used to identify people at high VD deficiency. Risk factors are evaluated in points. When questioning individuals with JIA, the total number of points obtained by each patient was determined. In children, who have received more than 264 points, VD insufficiency or deficiency is confirmed laboratorially. The electronic version of the questionnaire is created in the online service for remote testing with the ability to view results for each respondent separately and to identify patients at high risk of vitamin D deficiency. The questionnaire also allows separating groups of patients at risk of VD insufficiency for further monitoring of 25OHD concentrations in the blood serum, which is useful in clinical practice of children’s rheumatologist, pediatrician and family physician. Conclusions. In patients with JIA, it is necessary to determine the risk factors for reducing VD provision in the body to identify individuals who require the evaluation of its concentration in the blood with subsequent monitoring. A questionnaire has been developed that allows us to collect information on the risks of developing VD insufficiency, assess them and determine the basic cohort of patients for laboratory studies and deciding whether to prescribe vitamin D preparations to them.
Clinical safety of ibuprofen in pediatric practice
Authors: Borysova T.P.
Published: October 2021

The article presents a review of the literature on the side effects of ibuprofen in children. The international guidelines recommend ibuprofen as an antipyretic and analgesic drug in pediatrics. The drug is characterized by a high profile of efficacy and safety in the treatment of children with fever, mild to moderate pain. Ibuprofen in over-the-counter doses has a low probability of serious side effects from the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. Side effects of ibuprofen are transient and resolve after discontinuation of treatment. Circumstances associated with a higher risk of adverse events are highlighted. The use of ibuprofen is contraindicated in children with dehydration, which is associated with a risk of acute kidney damage. Caution should be exercised when prescribing ibuprofen to children with community-acquired pneumonia due to the risk of purulent complications. Ibuprofen should not be prescribed to patients with chickenpox to avoid bacterial superinfections. Ibuprofen should be used with caution in children with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, renal failure, hemorrhagic syndrome, anticoagulant therapy. Ibuprofen is allowed in children with bronchial asthma unless a personal or family history of aspirin-induced asthma. Caution should be exercised when treating premature infants or low birth weight infants due to the reduction in nephron mass and, therefore, the increased risk of renal damage. Ibuprofen should not be used in patients who are sensitive to this drug or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Ibuprofen should be taken in the minimum effective dose and discontinued as soon as possible — no more than 3 days for fever and 5 days for pain.

Published: October 2021

Acute respiratory viral diseases continue to dominate among the causes for seeking medical help. In the pediatric population, about 60 % of cases have a recurrent course, which in turn often leads to the development of post-viral asthenic syndrome. In such children, one can find rapid fatigability, attention disorders and inability to concentrate, impaired information processing, emotional lability, and sleep disorders. All this disrupts the usual way of life of both the child and his relatives that undoubtedly requires the treatment of this condition and complete restoration of the state of the body after episodes of acute respiratory diseases. Phytotherapy has found its place in the management of children with post-viral asthenia due to the polyvalence of the pharmacological action, proven efficiency, safety of long-term therapy with phytopreparations and economic attractiveness for the majority of the population. In modern realities, phytotherapy is used as a reductive therapy, which makes up for the lack of products of intermediate metabolism in the body; as detoxification therapy that provides adsorption or chemical binding of exo- and endotoxins, increasing the body’s resistance to them and stimulating the excretory systems. It is important to use the neurotropic, immunotropic, hormone-like action of biologically active substances of plants; natural compounds, actively modifying the functions of regulatory systems, have prospects in the treatment of complex diseases. Analysis of the search databases PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, RSCI, Index Copernicus, BMJ, MEDLINE on the possibility of use, efficacy and safety of phytocomponents of Alleva in children of different ages with symptoms of post-viral asthenia allowed to ensure the application of this drug to control manifestations of asthenic syndrome. The article analyzes the options for correcting childhood asthenia with dry concentrates of linden flowers, lemon balm, chamomile, extracts of passionflower, hop, orange tree and lavender.

Published: October 2021

We have provided information about prevalence, etiology and pathogenesis of the tuberous sclerosis complex, a rare hereditary disease, caused by genetic mutation in TSC1 and TSC2 genes. Clinical and morphological manifestations of the disease were considered, according to updated diagnostic criteria, approved by the 2012 International Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Consensus Conference, as well as management of patients and prognosis were briefly described. Given that tuberous sclerosis is a rare disease with a polymorphic clinical picture (may affect the skin, central nervous system, kidneys, cardiovascular system, other organs and systems) and the manifestation at different times, and taking into account a low awareness of primary care physicians (especially pediatricians, who are more likely to face a child with the first signs of tuberous sclerosis) and specialist physicians, the correct diagnosis may often require years from the emergence of the first symptoms and lead to a deterioration in the health of patients and reducing the overall quality of life due to the development of complications that could be avoided. Our own clinical observation was performed of the tuberous sclerosis complex in a girl, who was treated in the MNPE “Children’s Regional Hospital” at Kirovohrad Regional Council, with a detailed description of the course of the disease, starting before the patient’s birth when the first symptoms were suspected during ultrasound screening, as well as the child’s current state; we have also presented the results of additional instrumental researches. Given that the disease in the girl was suspected before her birth, establishing the correct diagnosis did not require a lot of time, but not in all patients the disease manifests so early, therefore, it is important to preserve the alertness regarding tuberous sclerosis complex and other hereditary diseases.

Authors: Kumar Sudhir
Published: October 2021

Abstract: Many past earthquake studies show that during strong vibrations, the adjacent building structures which are closely spaced to each other are vulnerable to severe damage when the adjacent buildings are not at an adequate distance to accommodate their relative displacements. The primary goal of this research is to find out the minimum separation gap between buildings of varying height at the same floor-to-floor height level. SAP 2000 software is used to analyze the structural behavior of building during the earthquake.Three building models are taken for the study, one is six floors (G+6) and another two are nine floors (G+9), and twelve floors (G+12) respectively. Six floors (G+6)& twelve floors (G+12) structures have the same floor to floor height and plan and same beam and column size (equal stiffness) and G+9 buildings have floor to floor height are same but different beam and column sizes (different stiffness). The linear dynamic (RSA) analysis method is used to calculate the response (Displacement, frequency at fundamental time, Base Shear) of the structure at different floors levels. Response (top story displacements) calculated from the response spectrum is compared with the provisions of seismic gap per story height given in IS 4326: 2005.

Abstract: Machine learning-based (IDS) have become a critical component of safeguarding our economic and national security because of the massive quantities of data produced each day and the growing interconnection of the world's Internet infrastructures. The existing machine Learning Model technique may have difficulty comprehending the ever-increasingly complex distribution of data invasion patterns. With a small number of data points, a single deep learning algorithm may be ineffective at capturing different patterns for intrusive attacks. We presented CNN-LSTM Novel Intrusion Detection Model for Big Data to improve the efficiency of IDS-based CNN-LSTM even further (NIDM). NIDM uses behavioural traits and content functions to understand the characteristics when compared to earlier single learning model tactics, this strategy can improve the rate of intrusive attack detection.

Dimensional Stabilization of Engineered Wood Floor Using Linseed Oil and Paraffin Wax Impregnation
Authors: Saji Akhil
Published: October 2021

Abstract: Engineered wood flooring comprises three or more layers of wood veneer adhered together to create a plank. The surfaces were coated to scale back water absorption. However, as wood is a hygroscopic substance, it loses and gains moisture from the atmosphere. This affects the dimensional stability of the floor badly, which emanates wide gaps between boards, cupped edges, crowning edges, and bulking of boards. Hence, the main intention of this study was to stabilize the engineered wood flooring by filling the wood cavity with linseed oil, paraffin wax, and a mixture of both, and evaluate the physical, mechanical property of treated and non-treated engineered wood flooring boards. The treatments were conducted at different temperature and durations. Keywords: Dimensional stabilization, Wood modification, Wood floor, Linseed oil, Paraffin wax, Impregnation

Authors: Checker Saksham
Published: October 2021

Abstract: Many countries like India have been working on plans to shift from conventional energy sources to renewable, and solar energy is one of them. The technology of Solar Panels faces defects on a large scale. These defects can be within the cells or on the panel as a whole. Management authorities require automated systems to detect the physical faults on the solar panels. These faults can either be detected by physically looking at the panels or through the energy supply, which requires Machine Learning models. This paper proposes a model with 95.34% accuracy that can be deployed on drones and automatically check for physical damage on the panels. We collected the dataset manually from the internet, cleaned and split it into training and validation parts. Data augmentation was performed to get a better view of the functioning of the model.

Optimization of Process Parameters for Minimum Surface Roughness in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining of AISI 1045 Steel Using Taguchi Method
Authors: Rafiq Rouhan
Published: October 2021

Abstract: One of the important non-traditional machining processes is Wire Electrical Discharge Machining, used for machining difficult to machine materials like composites and inter-metallic materials. WEDM involves complex physical and chemical process including heating and cooling. Accompanying the development of mechanical industry, the demand for alloy materials having high hardness, toughness and impact resistance are increasing. The WEDM satisfy the present demands of the manufacturing industries such as better finish, low tolerance, higher production rate, miniaturization etc. The consistent quality of parts being machined in WEDM is difficult because the process parameters cannot be controlled effectively. The problem of arriving at the optimum levels of the operating parameters has attracted the attention of the researcher and practicing engineers for a very long time. The objective of the present study was to experimentally investigate the effects of various Wire Electrical Discharge Machining variables on Surface Roughness and Material Removal Rate of AISI 1045 using ANOVA method. Taguchi’s L18 Orthogonal Array was used to conduct experiments, which correspond to randomly chosen different combination of process parameters: wire type, pulse on time, pulse off time, peak current, servo voltage, wire feed rate, flushing pressure each to be varied in three different levels. The surface roughness and material removal rate were selected as output responses for the present investigation. The effect of all the input parameters on the output responses have been analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The effect of variation in input parameters has been studied on the output responses. Plots of S/N ratio have been used to determine the best relationship between the responses and the input parameters. In other words, the optimum set of input parameters for minimum surface roughness and maximum material removal rate were determined. It has been found that wire type, pulse on time are most significant factors for surface roughness and wire type, pulse on time, pulse off time, wire feed rate are most significant factors for material removal rate.

Renace: armonía pasional del estallido social
Authors: Bulo Valentina
Published: October 2021

The current text seeks to complement the concept of social outbreak referring to the political events of October 2019 in Chile with an idea of harmonization and utopian updating in affective-political terms. To do this, in the first place it will be established that it is possible to make a political-affective reading of the social outbreak, taking a detour through what would be the function of the affects in their political dimension, as articulators of communities, to later specify the affective political sense in the context of our social outbreak. Secondly, it will be affirmed that, without denying the very idea of an explosion, at least in part there is also a decantation of a process of utopian harmonization and updating. To deploy these two statements, we will rely mainly on a 19th century author, Charles Fourier, who builds a materialist-affective theory that can provide important insights into our contingency. We will also carry out a reading of the RENACE intervention by Delight Lab to illustrate our thesis.
Crisis y refundación del mito democrático: el octubre chileno, preguntas y tensiones
Authors: Arancibia Carrizo Juan Pablo , Yuing Alfaro Tuillang
Published: October 2021

Based on a critical theoretical tradition of democracy, the article rehearses an interpretation of the Chilean revolt of October 2019. It is argued that this episode indicates the exhaustion of the myth in which democracy obtains its legitimacy and perpetuation as a promise of the realisation of its founding values. To this end, it examines the overall historical context in which the Chilean democratic transition is taking place, thus discovering its close link to the order designed by the Chilean dictatorship. A series of symbolisms articulate the global market order with the social model favoured by the dictatorship, but implemented with a democratic appearance. Finally, the elements that allow us to understand the signs of the collapse of the ‘democratic mythologem’ in the October revolt are reviewed and questions are asked about the political challenges that are posed.

Authors: Antonenkov D. A. ,   Marine Hydrophysical Institute, Russian Academy of Science, Sevastopol, Russia
Published: October 2021

The article discusses developed technical means and methods allowing to obtain in situ spatial distribution of velocity of suspended particle movement by a water flow. A brief description is given of the developed measuring complex based on video recording of the aquatic environment. The method of performing full-scale experiments by the example of study of sea estuaries is described. The article presents measurement results and examples of spatial distributions of flow velocities required for solving various problems related to mass transfer, coast erosion and silting of water areas. Analysis of expedition research results obtained using the developed complex allowed to create methodical approaches to assess the current state of a water body and informative parameters of its state using a visualization method. Based on the created methods, data on the fine structure of the flow in the Chernaya River estuary area were obtained. Comparison of the averaged data on the water flow velocity with the measurement results obtained through standard technical means, namely a hydrometric current meter, showed minimal discrepancies not exceeding 11 %. The developed method and technical means make it possible to study the water flow dynamics and to describe the flow fine structure, which is necessary for studying the mechanisms of erosion, sediment accumulation and transport.

The paper considers natural-climatic and anthropogenic factors that determine differences in the self-purification capacity of the Sevastopol Bay ecosystems (its western, central, eastern parts and the Yuzhnaya Bay) in relation to the reduced nitrogen forms (ammonium and nitrites) by calculating the assimilation capacity. The authors took into account the intensity of the input sources of the studied forms of nitrogen, the rate of excretion from the ecosystem, the dynamic situation in the studied water areas and in the entire bay as well as the location of recreational facilities. For the first time, the factors were assessed that provide additional input of reduced forms of nitrogen associated with hypoxia during summer water stratification in local deepened areas in the upper bottom sediment layer, taking into account their particle size distribution. Further, the authors considered accumulation of organic matter and its destruction due to oxidized nitrogen forms and formation of reduced forms thereof. The currents in the central and southern parts of the Sevastopol Bay were calculated using a hydrodynamic model. The calculation results correspond to the current system in the mentioned water areas of the bay according to in situ data at different wind situations in the region. According to the calculations, it is possible that under certain hydrometeorological situations additional amount of ammonium and nitrites would flow from the Yuzhnaya Bay into the central part of the Sevastopol Bay.

Authors: Rohloff Erik , Rudolph Dominik , Strolka Onno , Frank Irmgard
Published: October 2021

Is a classical description of nuclear motion sufficient when describing
chemical reactions? The present paper investigates some phenomena that
were previously attributed to nuclear quantum effects. The aim is to
show that these phenomena can be modelled with traditional
Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics, that is, with a method which treats
nuclear motion classically. We find that no additional paradigm is
needed for describing chemical reactions. The special reactivity
observed for carbenes can be attributed to the special environment
represented by a noble gas matrix. Also the infrared spectrum of
porphycene is perfectly modelled by traditional Car-Parrinello molecular
dynamics. If no more convincing examples are produced, one will stick to
deterministic quantum mechanics, as it is the simpler theory which, in
addition, is free of paradoxa.

In this paper, we study the existence and nonexistence of nontrivial
solutions to the following critical biharmonic problem with the Steklov
boundary conditions
Δ=+Δ+|| in ,
=Δ+=0 on , where ,, ∈ , ⊂ ( ≥ 5) is a
unit ball, 2 = 2/N-4 denotes the critical Sobolev
exponent for the embedding () →

some assumptions on , and , we prove the existence of nontrivial
solutions to the above biharmonic problem by the Mountain pass theorem
and show the nonexistence of nontrivial solutions to it by the Pohozaev
identity.
Experiment and Theory Elucidate the Pathways for H3+ Formation in the Ultrafast Double Ionization of Methanol
Authors: Farrar James
Published: October 2021

This Research Highlight provides context for the report of Gope et al.
on experimental and computational probes of the decay of doubly-ionized
methanol to H and
HCO/COH. The formation of the
H ionic product is shown to occur
through the agency of a roaming H molecule generated
from the carboxyl moiety that undergoes prompt proton transfer from the
carbon atom, or, delayed proton transfer from the oxygen atom. This
novel method for H formation is
contrasted with the conventional ion-molecule pathway, known for over a
century, that forms the basis for interstellar molecule formation.
Prevention vs. Cure: is BioGlue priming the optimal strategy against E-Vita Neo graft oozing?
Authors: Tan Cian , Bashir Mohamad
Published: October 2021

Background Since the introduction of the E-Vita Open NEO aortic
prosthesis in 2020, several incidences of post-anastomotic oozing from
the polyester portion of the graft have emerged. The use of BioGlue to
prime E-Vita Open NEO to prevent this has been suggested as a way to
mitigate this worrying complication. We investigate the extent of graft
oozing in E-Vita Open NEO and evaluate the use of BioGlue in preventing
oozing, both experimentally and in terms of potential clinical
complications. Methods and materials E-Vita Open NEO (in straight and
branched configurations) was implanted in a perfused model. The distal
stent-graft and side branches were clamped, and the graft pressurised
with blood to 120 mmHg. The volume of blood (ml) oozing from the graft
within 60 seconds was measured. Non-pressurised grafts were coated with
BioGlue up to a thickness 1-, 2-, and 3 mm, and the volume (mm3) of
BioGlue required to do so was recorded. Results Within 60 seconds, 250.0
ml of blood oozed from the grafts tested. 43.694 mm3, 87.389 mm3, and
174.778 mm3 of BioGlue was required to coat the device with 1-, 2-, and
3 mm of BioGlue. Conclusion Graft oozing from E-Vita Open NEO represents
an omnipresent and worrying risk. The use of BioGlue herein is likely
associated with several adverse consequences, which are an additional
risk on top of that posed by graft oozing. These risks call into
question the suitability of E-Vita Open NEO, especially when compared to
alternative devices not affected by oozing.

Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are recommended agents for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Additionally, SGLT2 inhibitors lower blood glucose, decrease blood pressure, and can be useful for volume management. For these reasons, we hypothesized that initiating SGLT2 inhibitor therapy may be associated with deprescribing of other medications in patients with DKD. We compared medication lists at SGLT2 inhibitor initiation and 6 months post-initiation in 21 patients with DKD who were followed in our interprofessional outpatient nephrology clinic to evaluate deprescribing patterns in diabetes, hypertension, and diuretic medications. Six months of SGLT2 inhibitor therapy in patients with DKD was associated with deprescribing of high-risk diabetes agents, antihypertensives, and loop diuretics with minimal changes in A1C and fewer adverse events.

Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, which connect an insulin pump, continuous glucose monitoring system, and software algorithm to automate insulin delivery based on real-time glycemic data, hold promise for improving outcomes and reducing therapeutic burden for people with diabetes. This article reviews the features of the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System and how it compares to other AID systems available on or currently under review for the U.S. market. It also provides practical guidance for clinicians on how to effectively train and onboard people with diabetes on the Omnipod 5 System, including how to personalize therapy and optimize glycemia. Many people with diabetes receive their diabetes care in primary care settings rather than in a diabetes specialty clinic. Therefore, it is important that primary care providers have access to resources to support the adoption of AID technologies such as the Omnipod 5 System.
Challenges on Marine Environment Pollution under Marpol Convention

Published: October 2021

Natural disasters may take place even more frequently and be greater in magnitude. A rise in sea levels could submerge a considerable proportion of the country. The legal regulations per specific aspects of maritime law are the priority of lawyers as natural risks like rising sea levels, storm surges, or tsunami waves, the pollution of the marine environment represents a severe threat to coastal inhabitants. Global climate change will thus not only cause environmental demolition, but will drive massive social changes as innumerable people migrate from devastated areas. Thus, the proposed article would contribute to the expansion of the current regime of the bay water used for cooling purposes of atomic energy plant preventing its use for fish farming purposes, an oil spill on the high seas polluting beaches that are essential for tourism within the coastal zone and the way of such activities destroys on our natural climate and it changes water level, ocean acidification, ocean stratification, coral bleaching, changing species distributions and other biological change to sea.
The Contemporary Conception of Human Rights: Between Concepts, Foundations and Distinctions
Authors: Silva Paiva Francisco Cleiton
Published: October 2021

This work aims to present and discuss the contemporary conception of human rights theory.Based on the defense of the dignity of the human person, human rights are the result of conquests throughout history, having taken effect in the international order since the end of the Second World War, when the United Nations (UN) promulgated the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Human Rights, in 1948, when this document became the normative framework for humanitarian protection worldwide. The aforementioned Declaration provides for a set of rights belonging to every human person, regardless of nationality, race, sex, religion or any other characteristic. Among these rights are the right to life, freedom, food, work, among others, which underpin a dignified existence. In contemporary theory, although there are various ways of designating human rights, such as “human rights","individual rights","fundamental rights", “natural rights", among others, these expressions have the same meaning. However, the majority doctrine essentially distinguishes two terminologies as to its scope: “human rights”, which are used to define the rights established by international law; and “fundamental rights”, which corresponds to those referring to the rights recognized and affirmed by the States, as occurs in Brazil, in the text of the Federal Constitution of 1988. In methodological terms, this article deals with a review study, categorized as qualitative (as to nature), descriptive (as to objective) and bibliographic (as to object) research.
