Published: April 2024

Elderly patients (EP) often have Chronic Sleep (CS). Although elders are among the categories with the highest need for therapy, these EP are often seen as challenging to treat. This study offers a thorough the studies on the therapy of persistent insomnia in EP with an emphasis on Evidence-Based (EB) therapeutic strategies. Meta-Analyses (MA), EB evaluations of therapy modalities, randomized controlled trials of Non-Pharmacologic (NP) treatment, and the features and treatment of insomnia were all criteria for selecting publications. MA, EB on solid, and studies including pertinent new data were given preference. When NP gets closer, the field is on their side. Among the medications used to treat insomnia include sedating antidepressants, barbiturates, OTC, prescription, and chloral hydrate antihistamines, as well as OTC and OTC nutritional supplements and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). SH drugs, including Benzodiazepine (BZD), Non-Benzodiazepine (NB), and melatonin agonists. NP therapies for insomnia in people of all ages have a large body of research supporting their efficacy and durability, yet still need to be addressed. With a few notable exceptions, the bulk of pharmacological trials found was of short length and did not just include EP as participants. The Non-benzodiazepine Sedative Hypnotics (NSH) proved to have minor, if any, substantial therapeutic benefits in effectiveness or tolerability in EP compared to BZD. Melatonin agonists are among the newer medicines with unique mechanisms of accomplishment and better security profiles that show promise for treating Chronic Insomnia (CI) in EP. There is no strong evidence base for the long-term use of sedative hypnotics (SH) to treat insomnia, and this practice has historically been discouraged because of concerns about possible adverse effects such as cognitive impairment, daytime sedation, motor incoordination, and an increased risk of falls and car accidents. The most effective management technique for senior people with CI will need more study to establish the extended-term consequences of therapy.

Background: Millions of individuals worldwide are unintentionally exposed to arsenic through food and water. Arsenic bioaccumulates in the human body and causes organ toxicity, especially hepatotoxicity, through apoptosis, inflammation, and the production of oxidative stress markers.
Aim of the study: We aimed to determine whether Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or omega-3 could mitigate the hepatotoxicity that rats experienced from long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water.
Methods: Rats were randomly assigned into four groups (10/group): a control group, an arsenic exposed group (20 mg/kg body weight) only, or an arsenic exposed group in the presence of either Zingiber officinale (12 mg/kg of body weight) or omega-3 (100 mg/kg b.w.) daily for 28 days. We used different biochemical parameters to assess liver functions, such as oxidative stress parameters, inflammatory markers, and histological and immunohistochemical stains.
Results: Arsenic exposure to rats in drinking water results in hepatotoxicity, proved by increased liver enzymes and structural pathological changes in the liver, those mediated by increased oxidative stress, antiapoptotic effects, and inflammatory parameters, while supplementation of either Zingiber officinale or omega-3- to arsenic exposed rats significantly (P < 0.05) improved liver function biomarkers and alleviated oxidative stress induced by arsenic as well as, liver protection as confirmed by our histological and findings.
Conclusion: Ginger or omega-3 are safe and effective antioxidants to ameliorate arsenic-induced hepatotoxicity.

Published: April 2024

Reversibility principle of modulation-parametric interactions is formed, which is the basis for effective control of equivalent impedances in oscillation systems. A classification of oscillating systems in which there may be forces aimed at changing the effective reactive parameters and dissipation is given. Analytical approach for the study of modulation and parametric processes in oscillation and self-oscillation sys-tems under the small external signals influence is proposed. The heuristics of under-standing the modulation-parametric interactions reversibility are demonstrated. On the basis of the formulated and substantiated principle of reversibility of modula-tion-parametric interactions, a “dissection” of the physical mechanism underlying it was carried out, and also demonstrated the mechanism of its effective practical ap-plication. The analytical approach implemented in the work combines the advantages of analytical methods based on differential equations, which most fully and accurately describe the objects and phenomena under study, with complex spectral methods, which provide the most compact notation of equations, a clear physical interpretation of the internal structure of signals and facilitate mathematical analysis.

Authors: Shylova Tetiana , Titiev Vladyslav 
Published: April 2024

The formulations and content of the concept of "urban improvement" have been analyzed. The most comprehensive definition is: "Improvement of populated areas is a complex of works on engineering protection, cleaning, drainage, and greening of the territory, as well as socio-economic, organizational-legal, and environmental measures to improve the microclimate, sanitary cleaning, noise reduction, etc., carried out in the territory of a populated area with the aim of its rational use, proper maintenance and protection, and creating conditions for the protection and restoration of the environment conducive to human life.
Measures for the improvement of populated areas are activities on restoration, proper maintenance, and rational use of territories, protection, and organization of landscaping objects taking into account the peculiarities of their use."
The elements of improvement include: - surfacing of squares, streets, roads, driveways, alleys, boulevards, sidewalks, pedestrian zones, and paths; - public, restricted, and specialized green spaces; - buildings and structures of the household waste removal system; - means and equipment for external lighting and outdoor advertising; - technical means of traffic regulation; - structures of the engineering protection system of the territory; - complexes and objects of monumental art; - facilities and equipment for children's play areas, sports fields, and other recreational spaces located in public areas and other improvement sites; - small-scale architectural structures; - other elements of improvement defined by regulatory legal acts. Projects for the improvement of public use territories must necessarily include city transport parking and guest parking for cars.
The main means, elements, objects, principles, and techniques of urban territory improvement have been defined.
A list of goals and requirements for the placement of improvement objects at different stages of urban planning design - the general plan of the city, the zoning project of the city territory, the design of the residential area and microdistrict, as well as the group of residential buildings - has been formulated.
Using the example of the "Poznyaky" residential area in Kyiv, the main techniques and the state of improvement have been considered. Recommendations for improving the quality of microdistrict territories through engineering improvement have been developed.

Published: April 2024

The article focuses on the creation and implementation of a geodetic planning system aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of urban areas. The main emphasis is on the use of open and accessible software, integration of full-fledged GIS and DBMS components. The process of determining the most suitable GIS platform for GSP included a detailed analysis of various GIS systems taking into account their functionality, which allowed to choose QGIS as the optimal solution due to its high functionality in the field of geodata management, support for various data formats, user interface and dynamic development. The structure of the GSP is based on two main platforms: the QGIS GIS system for cartographic data presentation and analysis, and the Microsoft Access DBMS for performing all data operations. Interaction between these platforms is provided through the eVis module built into QGIS, which allows for efficient planning of urban area surveys and land use management. The main tasks solved with the help of GSP are the planning of primary surveys to identify target plantations, detailed taxation of plantations with the creation of samples according to specified parameters, obtaining point maps of the distribution of various types of vegetation, planning sample surveys with specific geospatial conditions, as well as geo-information and tax analysis in in solving the problems of sustainable development of cities. The implementation of GSP provides significant advantages for planning the sustainable development of urban areas, allowing more efficient use of land resources, optimizing urban management processes and intensifying scientific research in this field. The development and integration of modern digital technologies in the field of urban planning play a key role in achieving the goals of sustainable development.
THE CONCEPTUAL APPARATUS REGARDING THE OBJECTS OF THE STATE LAND CADASTRE REGISTRATION
Authors: Petrakovska Olga , Mykhalova Mariia 
Published: April 2024

An important factor that can cause legal, social, economic problems and lead to inefficiency and delays in the implementation of land use restrictions is the inconsistency of the terminological apparatus. An analysis of the concepts of "territorial zone" and "functional zone" and their interrelationship in urban planning and land legislation was carried out. Since in Ukraine restrictions on the use of land are the object of the State Land Cadastre, the article discusses the methods for establishing land use restrictions by forming territorial and functional zones and their determination. Despite the fact that territorial zones are a component of the registration, in the land legislation, a clear definition necessary for an unambiguous understanding of this term is absent. It was found that the definition of the concepts of zones provided in the urban planning legislation does not meet the requirements provided in the land legislation. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the concepts of functional zone and functional zone of the territory have certain differences and should be unified; functional zones are established only within the boundaries of settlements, both individual and those that are part of territorial communities; the definition of the territorial zone provided in the urban planning legislation does not meet the requirements provided in the land one; in accordance with the above definitions, land use restrictions are established within both territorial and functional zones. The results of the study illustrate the need to improve the conceptual apparatus in terms of the definitions of the concepts of functional and territorial areas, the limits of their tasks when establishing restrictions and requirements for their content, structure and technical characteristics of an electronic document.

Published: April 2024

The article defines the directions of functioning of the construction industry and stakeholders of construction enterprises, reveals the main directions and peculiarities of the functioning of construction enterprises in the conditions of martial law (during the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine) and substantiated directions of transformational development in the period of post-war reconstruction. The components of the theoretical-methodological platform for the formation and implementation of development management of construction enterprises have been developed using a methodical approach to the evaluation of strategic sets of the enterprise based on the improvement of the classical quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM, Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix). As a conceptual basis for identifying such factors, the McKinsey “7S” model was used, according to which all factors are grouped according to the signs of belonging to the following components: strategy, skills, common values (corporate culture), structure, employees, systems and style.
As a result of the study, the factors affecting the formation and implementation of the adaptive capacity of the construction enterprise to the transformational changes of the operating system are proposed: labor productivity in the studied period; the ratio of administrative expenses to wages in operating expenses; the share of employees with higher education in the total number of management personnel; experience of management personnel; the ratio of labor costs to wage costs. The processes of economic-mathematical modeling of the influence of system factors on the integral indicator of the level of transformational ability of the enterprise are determined. To achieve the goals, the work uses methods of strategic diagnostics and fuzzy methods of multi-criteria evaluation with the help of the Matlab Fuzzy Logic Toolbox application program package.
