The Theme of the Polish Minority in Latgalian Press (1920–1934)
Authors: Malahovskis Vladislavs 
Published: November 2023

The article aims to reveal the position of the Latgalian press in the formation of the inhabitants’ public opinion of the Polish minority in Latgale (1920–1934). The basis of the research consists of around 50 articles published in the Latgalian newspapers. The research is based on the analysis of qualitative data, discourse-historical approach, using the detaching discursive construction of “we”–“they”, e.g., in the context of the article – “the Latgalians” – “the Polish”.
In the early 1920s, the newspaper articles related to the Polish, mostly to the nobility, desiring to return the old good times, when the Polish was the dominating social group in Latgale. In the following years, the Polish were largely reflected as a minority disloyal to Latgalians and hostile to the Latvian state based on this ground. In many cases, the publications about the Polish minority are contradictory; while creating a negative image of the Polish, they are also called ‘faith brothers’ and thereby – allies.

Published: November 2023

CONTEXT
Very preterm birth (&lt;32 weeks) is associated with increased risk of developmental disorders. Emerging evidence suggests children born 32 to 38 weeks might also be at risk.

OBJECTIVES
To determine the relative risk and prevalence of being diagnosed with, or screening positive for, developmental disorders in children born moderately preterm, late preterm, and early term compared with term (≥37 weeks) or full term (39–40/41 weeks).

DATA SOURCES
Medline, Embase, Psychinfo, Cumulative Index of Nursing, and Allied Health Literature.

STUDY SELECTION
Reported ≥1 developmental disorder, provided estimates for children born 32 to 38 weeks.

DATA EXTRACTION
A single reviewer extracted data; a 20% sample was second checked. Data were pooled using random-effects meta-analyses.

RESULTS
Seventy six studies were included. Compared with term born children, there was increased risk of most developmental disorders, particularly in the moderately preterm group, but also in late preterm and early term groups: the relative risk of cerebral palsy was, for 32 to 33 weeks: 14.1 (95% confidence intervals [CI]: 12.3–16.0), 34 to 36 weeks: 3.52 (95% CI: 3.16–3.92) and 37 to 38 weeks: 1.44 (95% CI: 1.32–1.58).

LIMITATIONS
Studies assessed children at different ages using varied criteria. The majority were from economically developed countries. All were published in English. Data were variably sparse; subgroup comparisons were sometimes based on single studies.

CONCLUSIONS
Children born moderately preterm are at increased risk of being diagnosed with or screening positive for developmental disorders compared with term born children. This association is also demonstrated in late preterm and early term groups but effect sizes are smaller.

Published: November 2023

AbstractOne of the major and yet unsolved threats for viticulture is the group of vascular fungal infections, the so-called grapevine trunk diseases. Besides their latent nature and the enormous number of associated pathogens, their control is also hampered by the lack of effective fungicides, directing growing attention toward the use of biocontrol agents. In the present study the isolation, identification, and characterization of a bacterial strain are presented, showing biocontrol potential against some main causal agents of grapevine trunk diseases. The strain was isolated from the wood of an asymptomatic grapevine and selected for the fungicidal activity against the pathogen Phaeomoniella chlamydospora. According to 16S rDNA, gyrA, and gyrB sequences, the isolate belongs to Bacillus velezensis species. Confrontation tests with the bacterium or with its fermentation broth further revealed growth inhibition and fungicide activity against Botryosphaeria dothidea, Eutypa lata and Diaporthe ampelina pathogens. Fractionation of the bacterial culture filtrate suggests that the antifungal agents secreted by the B. velezenzis isolate are mainly lipoproteins. Phytotoxicity tests were also carried out with the isolate, showing no harmful effects on grapevine foliar disks.

AbstractSoluble dietary fibre (SDF) is well recognised for its remarkable effectiveness in promoting human health. This study utilised response surface methodology to evaluate the optimal conditions required to extract SDF (U-SDF) from Lentinula edodes via the ultrasonic-assisted hot-water method, and evaluated the hypolipidemic effects and anti-inflammatory effects of U-SDF. The optimal extraction conditions for U-SDF were ultrasonic power of 182 W, extraction time of 2 h, extraction temperature of 81 °C, and solid-liquid ratio of 1:24 (g mL−1). Under these conditions, the extraction rate of U-SDF reached 8.08%. U-SDF treatment significantly improved liver and kidney indices in diabetic mice, markedly reduced the levels of plasma triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and significantly increased the level of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) in a dose-dependent manner. U-SDF also improved adipose tissue injury in diabetic mice, significantly decreased the levels of cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and alleviated inflammation of the abdominal aorta. In conclusion, U-SDF from L. edodes is an excellent source of dietary fibres, which exhibit good hypolipidemic and anti-inflammatory activities, suggesting potential applications as a functional additive in diverse food products.
Identifying regularities of the structure and properties of 13ХFА pipe steel smelted on different charges in electric arc furnace

Published: November 2023

The problem of increasing the efficiency of 13ХFА pipe steel for oil and gas wells by using selective selection of charges for smelting them in an electric arc furnace is considered. 4 batches of different chemical heterogeneity were studied. It was found that melt 1 from a purer charge 1 contains a smaller amount of harmful impurities in the form of surface-active substances (surfactants), which affect grain growth when samples are heated for quenching. Thus, melts 1 and 2, containing a smaller amount of surfactants in the charge, have a greater tendency to austenite grain growth and lower hardenability compared to melts 3 and 4, the charge of which is relatively heavily contaminated with surfactants. This is due to the low relatively free energy of melts 3 and 4. The study showed that at a relatively low tempering temperature (300 °С) there was an insignificant change in the mechanical properties of the samples (Rm, KC, etc.). Hydrogenation of steels significantly reduces the strength of steels from all melts, however, an increase in tempering time leads to an increase in long-term strength. In this case, the maximum impact strength (KC) of all melts is observed after normalization, but samples from melt 1 have a higher IC. When the samples were held (570 °С), the near-boundary layers of steel grains were enriched with P, Sb, Sn, As, leading to embrittlement and weakening of intergrain cohesion and a decrease in the energy of boundaries. In the process of testing at –80 °С, cracks along the grain boundaries are visible on the fractures of the samples after brittle tempering. By increasing the purity of metal waste for smelting pipe steel, it is possible to improve the complex of its properties, and hence the durability of seamless pipes for the oil and gas industry produced from it.

The object of the research is decision support systems. The subject of the research is the decision-making process in management problems using the locust swarm algorithm and evolving artificial neural networks.
A solution search method using an improved locust swarm algorithm is proposed. The research is based on the locust swarm algorithm for finding a solution regarding the state of an object. For training locust agents (LA), evolving artificial neural networks are used. The method has the following sequence of steps:
– input of initial data;
– processing of initial data taking into account the degree of uncertainty;
– initial setting of LA in the search area;
– determination of the initial speed of the LA movement;
– a search vector is generated taking into account the degree of uncertainty;
– calculation of the change in the value of the LA fitness function;
– training of LA knowledge bases.
The originality of the proposed method lies in the arrangement of LA taking into account the uncertainty of the initial data, improved procedures of global and local search taking into account the degree of noise of data about the state of the analysis object. Also, the originality of the research is avoiding the concentration of LA on the current best positions, reducing the probability of premature convergence of the algorithm and maintaining a balance between the convergence rate of the algorithm and diversification. The peculiarity of the proposed method is the use of an improved procedure for LA training. The training procedure consists in learning the parameters and architecture of individual elements and the architecture of the artificial neural network as a whole

Authors: Ibrahimov Fuad , Rzayeva Ulviyya , Balayev Rasul 
Published: November 2023

The object of this study is the transaction costs of agricultural processing enterprises that operate in cooperation with various participants: suppliers of raw materials, buyers of finished products, research enterprises, and other entities. Transaction costs arise at all stages of activity, from the preparation of an agro-processing project to the achievement of the final result.
For this, a simulation modeling system is proposed, including an optimization model that allows estimating the quantitative components of transaction costs. The process of transactions between various participants such as suppliers, customers, and partners is studied using simulation models. To demonstrate the applicability of this model to the example of agro-industrial enterprises, some parameters of transaction costs are modeled when choosing suppliers of raw materials at recommended intervals.
The feasibility of simulating the costs of establishing a relationship with a new partner in the range of 0.5–0.6, and the benefits in the range of 1.05–1.10 has been determined. It has been found that transaction costs associated with raw material suppliers can be saved by 40.0 % in the next 3 years through optimization and digital capabilities.
The presented approach can be useful for a deeper study of the digital environment’s impact on the level of transaction costs in agricultural processing enterprises. Such an analysis will reveal potential opportunities for optimization and cost reduction, which is important for improving the efficiency and competitiveness of these enterprises

The object of this study is the process of determining the optimal strategy for choosing a certain element of the grouping to perform a certain task.
The problem solved was the contradiction between the need to take into account various types of adverse conditions when determining the optimal strategy for assigning a certain type of forces and means for a certain task to the existing approach to maximizing the result.
The improved scientific and methodical apparatus includes optimal selection criteria and an improved procedure for optimal selection of a certain grouping element.
Existing approaches to the selection of optimal strategies for assigning forces and means to perform tasks were analyzed, in particular the criteria of Wald, Hurwitz, and Savage.
The peculiarity of this analysis is the examination of the criteria in view of the types of adverse conditions they take into account. The application of these criteria will make it possible to take into account the conditions of uncertainty of the input data and minimize the influence of adverse conditions during distribution.
The field of practical use of the analysis results is management processes during preparation for the operation.
A procedure of optimal selection of a certain element of the grouping for the performance of a certain task has been improved by using several criteria for choosing the optimal strategy and harmonizing the results of this selection in accordance with the conditions. The proposed procedure guarantees the performance of tasks, and the increase in the value of the objective function can reach 40 %.
A feature of the proposed procedure is that the result of choosing the optimal strategy is determined according to the conditions of a certain operation and takes into account various types of adverse conditions. This makes it possible to take into account the factors that significantly affect the uncertainty and minimize the expenditure of resources when performing a certain set of combat tasks.
The scope of practical use of the methodology is the process of planning and allocation of forces and means among tasks in the operation.

Authors: Onyshchenko Svitlana , Yanko Alina , Hlushko Alina 
Published: November 2023

This paper proposes an improved method for diagnosing errors of computer devices, which process economic data in computer systems, by increasing efficiency. The object of research is the processes of control and diagnosis of data errors, in the class of residuals (CR). The improved method of diagnosing economic data represented in the non-positional system of calculation in CR is based on the application of orthogonal bases of partial sets of bases. The use of these bases makes it possible to organize the process of parallel processing of the projections of the output number of the non-positional code structure. This makes it possible to increase the efficiency of data diagnostics by n times, depending on the length of the bit grid of computer systems. For a single-byte computer system, the efficiency of data diagnosis increases by 1.2 times compared to the existing method based on the zeroing principle. At the same time, the effectiveness of operational control and diagnostics systems for data processing in CR with the growth of bit grids has been proven.
Based on the results, it is shown that, unlike the correction codes used in the positional counting system, the arithmetic codes in CR have additional correction capabilities. An example of a specific implementation of the process of applying operational control and diagnosing errors in the processing of economic data presented in CR is given. The improved diagnostic method will make it possible (in comparison with existing diagnostic methods) to reduce the time, which increases the efficiency of the diagnostic procedure of data operating in CR. The results give grounds for asserting that, based on the improved method and the developed algorithm for the implementation of data diagnostics, it is possible to synthesize a device for reliable and operational control and diagnostics of economic data operating in CR
Optimization of the method of hydrothermal treatment of mogar grain for production of food concentrate "Talkan"
Authors: Kuzembayeva Gaukhar , Kuzembayev Kanash , Tlevlessova Dinara 
Published: November 2023

The possibility of using mogar grain for the production of food concentrates based on the traditional national dish "Talkan" is considered. "Talkan" is a national food concentrate for Republic of Kazakhstan, which has been used as a staple food in long-distance trekking by various cultures for centuries. Traditionally, talkan is prepared from various cereals, particularly millet, wheat and barley. When boiling water and oil are added, it turns into a hearty porridge, and when oil and sugar are added, it becomes a delicious dessert.
The difficulty lies in the careful handling and preparation of the mogar grain. During intensive cooking, the grain can easily overcook, resulting in all the valuable nutrients being leached into the broth. In addition, improperly prepared mogar can burn during further roasting. To determine the optimal parameters of mogar hydrothermal treatment and to create a high-quality food concentrate based on the national dish "Talkan", a complex experiment was conducted using modern methods of experiment planning.
A number of variables were tested during the experiment, including temperature limits and duration of cooking, as well as temperature, duration and intensity of stirring during drying and roasting of mogar. The study showed that the most favourable conditions for mogar grain involve cooking at an initial temperature of between 15–20 °C for about 60 minutes, gradually reaching 100 °C. The drying and roasting processes are best carried out for 25 minutes, with a layer thickness of 25 mm and a surface temperature of 250 °C.
The determined of hydrothermal treatment serve as a basis for the design of specialised equipment for preparation of mogar grain for the purpose of making Talkan

Published: November 2023

The object of the study was heat and mass transfer processes occurring in vertical cable tunnels. The problem to be solved was the definition of process mechanisms in the inner space of the tunnel. For this, field tests were conducted, mathematical models were created, and computational experiments were conducted to establish specific parameters that affect the temperature regime of a fire in a vertical cable tunnel of a nuclear power plant. The dynamics of temperature changes with known geometric parameters and fire load were determined, and the adequacy of mathematical models built in the Fire Dynamics Simulator software was investigated and computational experiments were carried out. It has been proven that they consist in determining the temperature regime in a vertical cable tunnel of a nuclear power plant with known technical and geometric parameters. Such studies have practical applications in the field of safety of nuclear power plants and the development of new technologies in this field. An important conclusion of these studies is the possibility of determining the fire resistance of building structures of vertical cable tunnels of nuclear power plants with the selection of the most severe temperature regime, according to the conducted field test. This means that research results can be used in practice in designing and evaluating the safety of such objects.
The conducted research established that the temperature in the inner space of the tunnel can reach values from 1200 to 1400 ℃. The following factors influence the maximum temperature value and the maximum time to reach the maximum temperature in the fire cell: fire load, height and area of the tunnel. With a lower fire load, the maximum temperature in the vertical cable tunnel of the nuclear power plant was 75 % lower. Therefore, the results of these studies have a direct practical application in the field of safety of nuclear power plants and can be used to improve and develop new technologies in this field

Published: November 2023

The object of this study is the processes of transportation of grain cargoes based on the principles of ridesharing in railroad systems without observing the traffic schedule for freight trains. In order to study the influence of the model of railroad transportation of grain based on the principles of joint use on the operation of the railroad system, it is proposed to formalize this process under the conditions of the peak load period. It is proposed to formalize the transportation of grain using the ride-sharing service in the form of coalitions in congestion games. It is proposed to turn the game setup into a nonlinear optimization problem.
As part of the research, mathematical modeling of the ride-sharing service of railroad transportation of grain cargoes was carried out. Adequacy of the mathematical model was proven. It was established that compliance with the traffic schedule leads to an increase in non-productive downtime of railroad cars after loading, which reduces incentives for the formation of coalitions by shippers. However, according to the results of the simulation, under the conditions of traffic according to the schedule, taking into account the coordination of the shippers and carrier, the transportation indicators are significantly improved. This encourages shippers to form coalitions. It was found that the average duration of shipment transportation decreased by 14.9 % from the indicator according to the scenario of the current transportation model – without observing the schedule.
A feature of the results within the framework of the study is that the proposed mathematical model makes it possible to adequately simulate the ride-sharing service of grain transportation in the railroad system.
The field of practical application of the results is the railroad industry. The conditions for the practical application of the research results are the importance of implementing digital platforms of aggregators for the coordination of shippers and carriers.
Current research will contribute to devising the improvements for grain logistics in railroad transport.
