Published: September 2022

If the company is faced with the problem of freezing quickly a large batch of smallsized products such as berries, fruits and vegetables of small size (or cut into small pieces), mushrooms, shrimps, etc., then the best solution can not be found than the use of fluidized quickfreezing machines. Of course, the cost of this equipment is slightly higher than, for example, freezing chambers, however, the reduction of freezing duration several times improves considerably the final product quality as regards both its appearance and nutrient content. These machines may differ by sizes, performances and capacities. It is these characteristics that form their final value. But, purchasing this equipment one should focus, first of all, not on the price but on the tasks to be solved. An innovation fluidized quickfreezing machine has been computed and designed for freezing smallsized and smallfraction products in a dense suspended air flow. The calculation of operational parameters for freezing green pears, as an example, is given. The thermophysical properties of pears have been investigated, a machine for pears shock freezing have been designed. The results from studies testified the influence of product properties and the entire technological process on the freezing process as well as on the power efficiency of the fluidized machine as a whole. The calculation method offered allows determining the optimal rate of air motion in the loading compartment, the duration of product freezing, the area and sizes of the grid, the capacity and sizes of the machine, the coefficient of heat transfer from the freezable product, as well as the volumetric air flow rate through the grid and the heat load on the refrigeration equipment of the machine.

The paper considers the mathematical model of the counterflow laminar motion of liquid and gas in an absorber with the ordered (layerwise) packing of packed bodies. Every bed of the packing is presented in the form of an equivalent (conditional) channel, the dimensions of which are defined by the specific surface and the portion of the free volume of packed bodies. An optimization problem is formulated that allows, at the initial stage of design, determining the main parameters of the absorber providing the design efficiency of CO2 absorption, taking into account the given design and technological conditions. It is offered to examine the hydrodynamic processes in the packed beds, having respect to the value of the flow velocity at the phase boundary

“Nothing happens accidentally” - the scientists often say. The crisis of science requires new ideas and approaches, which can ensure not only the further development of science itself, but also the solution of the problems of the optimal existence and coexistence of a man and the humanity in this vast world. The change of worldviews, scientific paradigms doesn’t always run smoothly, but the motion is inevitable these are the laws of evolution. Only the science gives the only real ways for the further evolutionary development of the mankind. The human mind and thinking still remain a mystery to science. Science has tried many times to reveal the secrets of the human thinking, but so far this mystery has not been discovered. “Everything passes, everything changes” - said the ancients and they were right. Very likely, the only things that remained invariable were the human thinking and mind; they were and always will be a convincingly changeable and constant stimulant to the development of the mankind.

Fluidic muscles have been the subject of research since the 1930s to the present day. McKibben's muscle is one of the most common ones. This type is the basis for fluidic muscles already being used commercially. The power-to-weight ratio is one of their main advantages. The disadvantage is difficult handling. The article describes experimental verification of static characteristics of fluidic muscles. During muscle contraction, a tensile force is developed which changes as the length of the muscle changes. This dependence is experimentally verified. A measuring equipment for testing fluidic muscles of various lengths and diameters is designed and assembled. The device consists of a pneumatic circuit, where the output drive is a loaded fluidic muscle. The load of muscle is generated by a hydraulic cylinder. The results will be further applicable to fluidic muscle simulations.

The energy efficiency and durability performance of axial piston machines are strongly affected by the tribological behavior of their lubricating interfaces. State-of-the-art approaches typically study these interface in isolation, neglecting possible reciprocal interactions between such interfaces. This paper presents an investigation of the mutual interaction between the piston/cylinder interface and the slipper/swashplate interface of a commercial axial piston pump. The proposed model can predict distributive fluid behavior in the lubricating gaps considering the effects of dynamics of the solid bodies, compressibility, mixed lubrication, elastic deformation, and cavitation. The dynamic coupling between the piston and the slipper is achieved by modeling the friction between the piston ball and slipper socket based on the force balance and the relative motion between the two bodies. The efficiencies predicted by this coupled model are compared to the ones obtained through the more established approach of solving the lubricating interfaces independently. The simulation results demonstrate the influence of the coupled physics on the lubricating interface performance, confirming the necessity of considering couple dynamics in lubricating interface numerical modeling.

This article deals with placement of machine tools on a foundation. Special attention is paid to the levelling adjustment process for machines with a self-supporting frame that are free-standing on a foundation. These machines are normally placed on a foundation in a statically indeterminate way. Consequently, the machine levelling adjustment process is not repeatable. This paper presents an analysis of the current state of alignment, highlights the shortcomings of the standard alignment process and demonstrates them with measurements. The paper also presents a new method that allows alignment of the machine to the desired geometry while also ensuring a defined distribution of the machine weight, respectively the distribution of gravitational forces on the individual levelling elements (feet). The presented method uses machine alignment on so-called smart feet and subsequent unique transfer to standard feet. The method has been successfully verified in the alignment of a standard machine tool.
India-China Relations: Struggle Between the Tiger and the Dragon for the Place Under the Sun
Authors: Galistcheva N. , Reshchikova M.
Published: September 2022

The article analyzes the current state of India-China relations, their main elements and prospects. We identify key factors strengthening bilateral India-China cooperation including the high level of political interaction, institutional framework of the relations, common approaches to solving the core issues on the international agenda and extensive economic ties. We also study the main fields of confrontation between India and China which include territorial disputes, fight for access to water and energy resources and rivalry for regional and global influence. The article identifies the elements that undermine the established system of the relations, especially mutual enmity between the states, imbalances in their trade, the third parties’ policies in Asia, divergent stances on some regional and international issues which are crucial for both countries, as well as the spreading COVID-19 infection – a new factor in the international politics and economy. We conclude that India-China relations are characterized by ambiguity and controversy. On the one hand, they have a solid political and economic foundation, but, on the other, they are complicated by a wide range of old and new problems that do not allow the sides to build effective cooperation in many spheres. We also provide a characterization of India-China ‘forced partnership’ and focus on the phenomenon of securitization of bilateral economic interaction. The paper pays particular attention to the assessment of complementarity of the two countries’ economic systems. It analyzes the prospects of India-China cooperation, opportunities for deepening their ties in trade and investments, energy sphere, science and technology, culture and interpersonal relations. We have also considered the possibility of the confrontation escalation in a range of relations fields into an open military conflict and assessed whether existing differences and mutual claims can impact future development of the ties between India and China. The conclusion underlines both disinterest of both sides in a full-scale war and unpredictability of India’s and China’s behavior in the conditions of instability in the international and regional arena.
Legal Framework of Regional Organizations’ Participation in Peacekeeping
Authors: Golub K.
Published: September 2022

The article analyzes the international legal framework for the participation of regional organizations in peacekeeping operations. Based on a review of scientific literature, the author examines the evolution of the legal approaches of the United Nations to international peacekeeping operations, considering the changes in their content in recent decades. The author explores the coupling between the peacekeeping mechanisms of the UN and regional organizations. The main object of the study is the peacekeeping activity of the Collective Security Treaty Organization based on the relevant international treaty. The article is an attempt to assess the political capabilities of a regional organization to expand its influence in the world using formal legal research methods. Three possible formats of a peacekeeping operation based on the Agreement on Peacekeeping Activities of the CSTO are revealed by the author. First, a peacekeeping operation by decision of the Organization within the borders of its member states. Its parameters correspond to the traditional (first generation) peacekeeping missions. Secondly, a peacekeeping operation by decision of the UN Security Council. Its deployment requires a mandate of the international community to endow the CSTO, which allows the implementation of multidimensional (second generation) peacekeeping operation by the forces of a regional organization. The third format of the CSTO peacekeeping operations is the participation of the CSTO in UN peacekeeping operations. The necessary legal framework is established by the recent Protocol on Amendments to the Agreement on the Peacekeeping Activities of the CSTO. The Organization is to endow one of the member states with the mandate to apply its multinational (consolidated) peacekeeping forces to the UN Peacekeeping Capability Readiness System. Thus applied CSTO peacekeeping forces can be involved in solving tasks during the UN peacekeeping operations under the CSTO flag. Based on the analysis of the legal framework for interaction between the United Nations and regional organizations in the field of peacekeeping, the author concludes that the potential for regional organizations to independently conduct multidimensional peacekeeping missions without direct violating state sovereignty or the UN Security Council mandate is significantly limited. The main opportunity for the collective use of the CSTO peacekeeping potential lies in its involvement in UN peacekeeping operations based on the approaches applied within the UN system to the organization of international peacekeeping activities.
Humanitarian Diplomacy: Modern Concepts and Approaches
Authors: Bogatyreva O.
Published: September 2022

Modern trends in world development have significantly pushed the boundaries of modern diplomacy which should be an effective tool for global dialogue. My study is focused on the humanitarian sector of diplomacy. The article reviews main discussions about approaches to the concept of humanitarian diplomacy that arose against the background of the idea of "humanism 2.0", about the spread of the practice of humanitarian negotiations and about the creation of humanitarian spaces. I examine the main approaches of foreign and Russian researchers to the concepts of humanitarian diplomacy. Then I analyze the tools of humanitarian diplomacy and highlight its similarities and differences with traditional official diplomacy. It is established that non-State actors play an important political role in the resolution of modern conflicts and humanitarian negotiations. The role of the UN in creating a humanitarian partnership with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is noted. I also pay attention to the humanitarian diplomacy of states and note the diversity of national models. The article considers the main motives that encourage states to participate in humanitarian diplomacy and highlights its main directions. I demonstrate shown that today humanitarian practice is acquiring a polymodal, complex character. It includes humanitarian assistance, social policy and economic assistance in the context of the paradigm of sustainable development. The study reveals that the use of diplomatic tools and, above all, negotiations have a positive impact on the effectiveness of humanitarian activities in armed conflicts and crisis situations of an anthropogenic and natural nature.
Center-Regional Relations in Italy
Authors: Gaman-Golutvina O. , Dudaeva M.
Published: September 2022

The article examines the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the development of center-regional relations on the example of the Italian Republic. The pandemic has become a serious test of the effectiveness and strength of interaction between central governments and regions, and analysis of the socio-political results of almost two years of the difficult test makes it possible to clarify the understanding of the nature of modern Italian regionalism, and allows us to present a forecast for its further development. The study of this research is inscribed in a broad analytical and historical context. The conceptualization of analytical tools has been clarified, including the concepts of decentralization, regionalization, federalization, devolution, separatism, irredentism, autonomism. Political decentralization in Italy is considered in a historical retrospective by analyzing the goals, drivers and main milestones of the emergence and development of autonomist and separatist projects, including taking into account the study of the "North-South" issue. Various alternatives for the further evolution of center-periphery relations are considered, taking into account the negative impact of the pandemic. The conclusion is argued that the central government as a whole has demonstrated the ability to mobilize and pursue a flexible policy that meets social demand in key parameters, as a result of which society has rallied around the anti-crisis agenda and increased support for the central government. At this stage, it is considered that a relative public agreement has been reached taking into account the increase of current problems in case of active support of separatist political actors. Provided that the national government develops a further effective policy that keeps in mind the needs of the regions, it will help maintain the stability of the center-regional relations for the future.
Prospects for US-Russia Relations under Biden
Authors: Sokolshchik L. , Suslov D.
Published: September 2022

The authors present complex analysis of US–Russia relations under the Biden Administration. W. Mead’s methodology (typology of foreign policy ideology) and S. Gunnitsky and A. Tsygankov’s theoretical framework (Wilsonian approach) are used. The article examines the motives of Russian and American foreign policies towards each other, as well as the outcomes for the Russia factor in US domestic politics and its impact on the bilateral relations. The authors identify the nature of ideological and political confrontation of the two nations which stems from their mutual perceptions and interpretations of the world order. It is revealed that the strengthening of ideological motivation of US foreign policy under the Biden Administration is aimed to rally Western countries behind the rivalry with illiberal regimes (Russia and China). At the same time, Russia perceives the current confrontation with the United States as an existential threat since it challenges its geopolitical power and national identity. The research looks into such aspects of US–Russia relations as sanctions against Russia, climate change interaction, global security and arms control. The authors conclude that US–Russia ideological confrontation is systematic; steps towards cooperation are aimed at preventing possible escalation. In the near future, US–Russia relations can be considered as a combination (i.e. sanctions, supporting Russian opposition, countering Russia in the post-Soviet region) and selective dialogue and cooperation on such issues as strategic stability, arms control, cybersecurity and climate change. US–Russia relations are not likely to undergo fundamental changes until at least 2024, when new electoral cycles start both in Russia and in the United States. Under current conditions, the management of the US–Russia confrontation remains the major goal for the sides.
El Aleteo de las Golondrinas Bogotá: Inicio del Estado Transnacional Verde. Redes de Ciudades y Ciudadanía Transnacional. Periodo de Estudio: 2013-2016
Authors: Del Mar Montes Vásquez Catalina
Published: September 2022

Tradicionalmente se piensa en las relaciones internacionales como una dinámica liderada por gobiernos nacionales, pero el crecimiento poblacional de las ciudades ha modificado dicho compor- tamiento, pues como lo estima el Banco Mundial (2019) las zonas urbanas concentrarán al 80% de la población en el año 2045, razón por la que han adquirido mayor importancia en términos de indicadores de política mundial, ya que actualmente hay gobiernos locales que deben planear y ejecutar como gobiernos nacionales. Las características ambientales de los territorios locales son igualmente muestra de contraste, incluso entre ciudades pertenecientes a un mismo país que pueden variar de manera drástica, razón por la que la actuación de un gobierno local debe plasmarse por fuera de los límites geográficos e innovar hacia la actuación en red ante los límites de la estructura política nacional

La presente investigación abre la puerta a dos temas que no pertenecen a los lineamientos princi- pales de las relaciones internacionales: de un lado se encuentra la diplomacia de las ciudades visible en las dinámicas de las redes de ciudades, y del otro, las maneras en que se interpreta el riesgo en materia ambiental en términos de soluciones. Ambos, recaen en la actuación desempeñada por el gobierno de la ciudad de Bogotá durante el periodo 2013-2016, que en razón a las características de su territorio desa- rrolló su actuación en materia ambiental de manera suficiente para abrirse camino y constituirse como un actor relevante dentro de la construcción de la gobernanza global ambiental, un micro actor que cambió el desempeño de la macroestructura en razón a la implementación de la cooperación sur-sur y triangular, lo anterior constituido como un legado que se mantiene hasta el presente en el desarrollo de la cooperación en red.

Published: September 2022

La estabilidad Laboral en Colombia es un derecho constitucional consagrado desde 1991, debido a lo cual se ha desarrollado un amplio análisis jurisprudencial en coherencia con lo ratificado en tratados internacionales y la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) en Colombia, lo que ha permitido garantizar la continuidad al trabajo a muchas personas en condición de vulnerabilidad.

Actualmente, la extensión y gravedad de la pandemia del COVID-19 ha puesto en aprietos tanto a empleadores como a trabajadores. Los primeros respecto de la necesidad de suspender y terminar algunos contratos laborales; en el caso de los segundos, debido principalmente al contagio de gravedad, al aislamiento obligatorio por la situación de salubridad a nivel mundial y con afectación directa a nivel nacional, así como el consecuente descubrimiento o diagnóstico de enfermedades como consecuencia del contagio. Ello impidió la continuidad normal de las relaciones de trabajo, presentando situaciones de incertidumbre en materia legal en un momento de crisis económica, con lo que las empresas se vieron en la necesidad de hacer ajustes o cambios en materia organizacional para enfrentar la crisis para hacer frente a la situación imprevista por empresarios, empleadores o gobiernos. Sin embargo, no se puede desconocer que esta situación ha desencadenado una serie de reclamaciones administrativas y legales por parte de los actores involucrados.

La construcción de un Poder Judicial europeo y las garantías de su independencia
Authors: Magaldi Nuria
Published: September 2022

El presente trabajo analiza cómo el TJUE, a partir de una novedosa interpretación del art. 19.1 TUE, ha afirmado su competencia para enjuiciar normativa nacional en materia judicial, sobre la base de que dicha normativa nacional no solamente regula órganos jurisdiccionales nacionales, sino, también, el Poder Judicial europeo. Asimismo, y al tiempo que ha afirmado su competencia de control, el TJUE ha comenzado a perfilar cuál debe ser el estatuto jurídico de los integrantes de ese Poder Judicial europeo, en el que se incluyen los jueces nacionales y en el que ocupa un lugar central el principio de independencia judicial.
El Tribunal Constitucional frente a la emergencia pandémica. (SSTC 148/2021, 168/2021 y 183/2021)
Authors: López Basaguren Alberto
Published: September 2022

La jurisprudencia constitucional sobre el estado de alarma emitida hasta el momento afronta la mayoría de las cuestiones fundamentales que han sido objeto de controversia en el ámbito académico en torno a la pandemia. En este trabajo se ha tratado de eludir una simple exposición o relato de los asuntos, de los hechos y de los fundamentos de derecho en los que el Tribunal asienta su decisión. Aunque siempre teniendo como referencia las decisiones adoptadas por el Tribunal —sobre las que el autor es muy crítico—, se ha tratado de aprovecharlo como oportunidad para un análisis de las cuestiones que han sido objeto de encendidos debates en el seno de la comunidad de juristas. De esta forma, constituye, al mismo tiempo, una defensa del acierto de la previsión constitucional —y legal— del estado de alarma y, en relación con ello, de la interpretación que sobre esa regulación defiende el autor.
Criminal Justice Involvement and Young Adult Health: The Role of Adolescent Health Risks and Stress
Authors: Clemens William M. , Longmore Monica A. , Giordano Peggy C. , Manning Wendy D.
Published: September 2022

Background: Although some studies have found that incarceration is associated with young adults’ poor health, confounding factors including adolescent health risks, and mediating influences such as stress have not been examined in the same study. We assessed whether variation in criminal justice system experience (none, arrest only, incarceration) influenced young adults’ self-reported depressive symptoms and poor physical health after accounting for prospective risks to health including adolescent health risks. We then assessed whether stress mediated associations between criminal justice involvement and the two health indicators.

Methods: Data are from Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS) (n =990), which included young adults, age 22-29, who have matured during the era characterized by mass incarceration. The dependent variables included a depressive symptoms scale and self-reported poor health. The adolescent health risks included economic disadvantage, body mass index, delinquency, problems with drugs, and prior depressive symptoms. We considered stress as a mediating variable. Sociodemographic characteristics included race/ethnicity, age, and gender. We used ordinary least squares regression and logistic regression analyses. We tested gender, race/ethnicity, and age interactions.

Results: In multivariable models, incarceration, and adolescent health risks (economic disadvantage, prior depression, problems with drugs) were associated with young adults’ depressive symptoms, and stress was a mediating influence. Adolescent delinquency and stress, but not incarceration, were significantly associated with young adults’ self-reported poor health.

Conclusion: This study provided a more nuanced understanding of incarceration and health by accounting for several key confounding factors and testing stress as a mechanism underlying the association. Care for prisoner health during and after incarceration is important for successful reintegration.

Authors: Vallabh Neil , Zheng Andrew F. , Varma Hersh , Reber Ryan , Motley W. Walker
Published: September 2022

Background: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are often thought to be a healthier option to cigarette smoking. e-Cigarettes have been found to overheat and explode. e-Cigarette explosions have caused severe trauma and rendered patients in critical conditions. Inadvertent exposures to liquid nicotine products have caused systemic poisoning injuries. We sought to characterize e-cigarette injuries presenting to emergency departments (ED) in 2018.Methods: We analyzed one year of data from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). Patients presenting with injuries associated with e-cigarette products were manually identified for inclusion. We performed descriptive analyses on demographic factors, affected bodily regions, dispositions, locations of occurrence, and mechanisms of injury. By applying sample weights, nationally representative estimates were calculated.Results: A total of 361 667 injury cases were reported in NEISS (2018). We identified 50 e-cigarette injury cases, generating a national estimate of 1739 (95% CI [1333-2148]) patients presenting to US EDs with e-cigarette injuries in 2018. Approximately 1000 pediatric patients (age ≤17 years) and 700 adult patients (age ≥18 years) were included. The median age when presenting to the ED was 4 years (interquartile range [IQR], 1-25). Over 85% of injuries occurred at home. Ingestion (55.0%) was the most common mechanism of injury, followed by explosion (35.8%).Conclusion: Children and adults are susceptible to injury from e-cigarette products. Changes in manufacturing standards may prevent injuries from these products.

Plant landraces are heterogeneous plant populations that have adapted to local environmental conditions and serve as a source of genetic variations that can be used for the breeding perspectives. Studies regarding genetic diversity assessment are very important as they provide an opportunity for the scientific community to investigate novel genetic variations for the genetic improvement of crops. Maize is one of the most important cereal crops and provides daily calories to millions of people all over the world. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of 32 local maize genotypes collected from the Black Sea Region of Turkey using SSR markers. Molecular characterization was performed using the 14 most polymorphic primers that yielded a total of 42 bands. An average of 3 alleles per SSR primer was detected, and the number of alleles varied from 1 (phi022) to 6 (umc1571). The unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) clustering divided maize accessions into three main populations. According to Nei's genetic distances, DZ-M-145 (Corum) and DZ-M-20 (Trabzon) genotypes were the closest (0.03) genetically related populations, while DZ-M-68 (Artvin) and DZ-M-55 (Rize) were the most genetically distant (0.63) populations. The study identified molecular genetic diversity not mentioned for maize plants from the Black Sea. On this occasion, new opportunities have been created for hybrid maize products.
Continuous wavelet estimation for multivariate fractional Brownian motion
Authors: Hmood Munaf Y. , Hibatallah Amjed
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we propose a method using continuous wavelets to study the multivariate fractional Brownian motion through the deviations of the transformed random process to find an efficient estimate of Hurst exponent using eigenvalue regression of the covariance matrix. The results of simulations experiments shown that the performance of the proposed estimator was efficient in bias but the variance get increase as signal change from short to long memory the MASE increase relatively. The estimation process was made by calculating the eigenvalues for the variance-covariance matrix of Meyer’s continuous wavelet details coefficients.
A Generalized Form of Power Transformation on Exponential Family of Distribution with Properties and Application
Authors: Chettri Seema , Das Bhanita , Imliyangba Imliyangba , Hazarika P. J.
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we proposed a new generalized family of distribution namely new alpha power Exponential (NAPE) distribution based on the new alpha power transformation (NAPT) method by Elbatal et al. (2019). Various statistical properties of the proposed distribution are obtained including moment, incomplete moment, conditional moment, probability weighted moments (PWMs), quantile function, residual and reversed residual lifetime function, stress-strength parameter, entropy and order statistics. The percentage point of NAPE distribution for some specific values of the parameters is also obtained. The method of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) has been used for estimating the parameters of NAPE distribution. A simulation study has been performed to evaluate and execute the behavior of the estimated parameters for mean square errors (MSEs) and bias.  Finally, the efficiency and flexibility of the new proposed model are illustrated by analyzing three real-life data sets.

Published: September 2022

Normal breathing is essential for the harmonious craniofacial growth. Narrowing or functional impairment of the airway can lead to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Orthodontists are well positioned to carry out a screening of OSA and refer the patients-at-risk for further diagnostic valuation by the physician. The aim of this research was to evaluate the presence of a correlation between the build of the patient and airway insufficiency to sensitize the eye of the orthodontist for potential at-risk OSA patients and provide a superior quality of treatment for them. Pre-treatment lateral cephalograms of 45 patients were divided into three groups depending on the build of the patient, i.e., endomorphic, mesomorphic and ectomorphic. The BMI was calculated for each individual and all were evaluated for the presence of airway insufficiency using McNamara’s pharyngeal width analysis. The positions of the hyoid bone and the tongue posture was also evaluated. The results of the present study showed that the association between the overall McNamara airway measurements and the build of the patient was statistically insignificant. A statistically significant difference was found between the association of the two sexes with the upper pharyngeal width values and the BMI values with the males showed a higher risk for airway insufficiency. This study suggests that build of the patient cannot be considered as a screening factor for airway insufficiency or OSA. However, a significant correlation exists between the airway insufficiency and the sex of the patient with a higher predilection of upper airway insufficiency in males.

Management of adult orthodontic patient is always challenging as they need interdisciplinary approach and wants early completion of treatment. Adult patients generally have edentulous spaces due to various reasons. Orthodontic space closure of such old, edentulous areas especially in mandibular posterior region is the main challenge. To curtail treatment duration, a new technique of rapid Molar mesilazation utilizing dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis was used for orthodontic space closure. In this report, we presented a technique of orthodontic closure of edentulous spaces in the mandibular posterior region accelerated by corticotomy and alveolar ridge expansion utilizing dentoalveolar distraction by using a modified dentoalvelar distractor made from mandibular hyrax appliance. With this modified dentoalvelar distractor anchorage loss was minimum and edentulous space was closed in short time, also satisfactory function and esthetics were achieved without any restorative treatment.

KGB Agents in the Illegal Evangelical Communities of the Late USSR: the Experience of Microhistoric Research
Authors: Belyakova Nadezhda
Published: September 2022

This study analyzes the experience of KGB agents among unregistered evangelical Christians-Baptists. The article systematically examines the materials formed as a result of the activity of “Topsy” female agent who lived in Kiev and collaborated with the KGB from 1963 to 1981. In the study, based on a specific agent case, the algorithm of work of KGB representatives with an agent recruited in an illegal religious community was described, the types of documents that were postponed as a result of this cooperation were analyzed from the point of view of their potential as a historical source, the management of clerical documentation when working with the agency was clarified. The article showed the family circle and the directions of the agent's activity: she reported on preachers and guests of illegal worship services in the forest near Kiev, watched the family Vins — leaders of the illegal movement, about work in the community with children and youth, internal conflicts of the community. The materials of the archival record the participation of “Topsy” in the identification of print outlets of the ECB, meetings of the leaders of the movement, the “exposure” of emissaries of foreign religious centers. The study concluded that the KGB’s task was to control and monitor the ongoing processes in the religious community, conducting local operations to temporarily suppress the activity of individual activists, while the initiative and strategy were in the hands of religious activists. The analyzed activity of the “Topsy” agent was not aimed at eliminating the illegal movement — she herself was an important element of the social structuring of the community: she created a “musical space” for young people and children — but at “exposing” individual actions and characters.
The Rise of the Social Terminology in the Early Stuart Antiquarian Discourse
Authors: Palamarchuk Anastasia
Published: September 2022

The peculiarity of the Early Stuart Antiquarian narratives with their different structures and forms allows to reconstruct the mechanisms of autonomisation and construction of the social on its early stages. The Antiquarian historical writing turned the wide range of components forming the “community of the Realm” into the object of classification. In several Antiquarian narratives this act of classification was implemented into a special form of the orders of precedence. This form of hierarchical organization conformed to the traditional Medieval patterns, both notional and visual. Feudal titles and dignities constituted the core of the order of precedence, sometimes non-feudal statuses and state offices were added.
