DETERMINATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE MIXTURE OF GASES ON IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF CATHODES FOR ION-PLASMA SPUTTERING
Authors: Omelchenko O. , Shaleva N. , Yefanov V. 
Published: October 2023

Purpose. Improvement of the technological modes of smelting sputtering cathodes based on nickel of the Ni-Cr-Al-Y system in order to improve their quality, namely, to reduce the total number of defects in the form of discontinuities, pores, non-melts and increase the homogeneity of the structure and chemical composition and application of the protective atmosphere of inert gases, the most widespread of which are helium and argon.
Research methods. The equipment was improved, in particular, the vacuum-arc installation was equipped with a ramp and a helium cylinder. Test samples in the form of “washers” (diameter 127 mm and thickness 40 mm) were obtained, which were used to study the microstructure and chemical composition. Remelting modes have been worked out. The study of the chemical composition was carried out using a multipurpose scanning electron microscope REM 106I, equipped with a microanalysis system.
Results. Based on the results of studies of the influence of the gas mixture concentration on the structure and composition of the cathodes, technological modes of melting were established, which made it possible to improve the quality indicators and economic indicators of the investigated cathodes. This will have a positive effect on the number of cathode failures, the performance of coated parts and the life of aircraft engines in general.
Scientific novelty. The dependence of the influence of the concentration of the mixture of gases (argon-helium) was determined, which made it possible to obtain the optimal ratio of protective gases. With a gas ratio of 70/30 %, the highest quality cathodes were obtained, which were used for further research.
Practical value. Quality of coating sputtering is determined by regimes of sputtering and quality of cathode itself. One of applied methods is by-layered melting of cathodes in copper water-cooled crystallizer using electrodes that are melted or non-melted. Optimal ratio of protective gases for receiving qualitative cathodes is determined.
Positioning of PCSK9 Inhibitors in hypercholesterolemia

Published: October 2023

PCSK 9 inhibitors currently have a market of 3 billion USD and by next 10 years it will raise to 13 billion USD in developed world. The rising prevalence of dyslipidemia and other lipid disorders are linked to lipid metabolism due to an unbalanced lifestyle and rising alcohol and tobacco use. PCSK9 inhibitors are injectable monoclonal antibodies that inactivate PCSK9 receptors. PCSK9 inhibition decreases degradation of the LDL receptor, thus raising the number of functioning LDL receptors on hepatocytes and lowering the number of LDL particles in the blood, which are atherogenic. For patients with very high cardiovascular risk, PCSK9 inhibitors and ezetimibe are added to statins, where they significantly lower absolute risk for myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Statins are known to upregulate PCSK9 encoding gene. PCSK9 inhibitors are given bimonthly or monthly and are reasonably safe. Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) a common inherited disorder of lipid metabolism, has mutations in one of these 3 genes: LDLR, APOB or PCSK9. These patients have 22 times more risk of coronary event than general population. Addition of a PCSK9 inhibitor to low dose statin therapy will be more effective in lowering LDL and avoiding the side effects of statins. PCSK9 inhibitors can contribute to both the stabilization and regression of atherosclerotic plaques and thereby avoid or delay major adverse cardiac events.
Effect of caffeine on capsaicin induced hyperalgesia in mice
Authors: Aghade Karveer Babanrao 
Published: October 2023

Caffeine is the most widely consumed behaviorally active substance in the world. In the past several pharmaceutical companies used caffeine along with other drugs to get analgesic effect. The present research work was undertaken to investigate the effect of interaction of caffeine and capsaicin on animal model of hyperalgesia in mice. To meet these objectives, effect of drugs was studied using tail immersion test, an animal model of thermal hyperalgesia and tail withdrawal test in mice, an animal model of cold hyperalgesia. The efficacy of three active principles alone and in combination of indomethacin, caffeine and prochlorperazine in reverting hyperalgesia was studied. Indomethacin 0.3 mg/ kg, i.p., caffeine 0.1 & 0.3 mg/ kg, i.p. and prochlorperazine 0.1 mg/ kg as well as combination reverted morphine withdrawal induced hyperalgesia. Initial application of capsaicin was found to be algesic leading to noxious stimulation in peripheral nervous system, which may cause allodynia and hyperalgesia. Thus this mechanism is also being studied in this study. Since most of the centrally acting analgesics act by way of their effect on dopaminergic mechanism and modifying calcium release, further studies on hyperalgesic activity were carried out using caffeine, capsaicin, amlodipine, haloperidol in the tail immersion (hot water of 55°C) and the tail withdrawal test (cold ethanol -14°C).

Воднева металургія включає заміну вуглецевого відновника на водневий. Одним з перспективних можливостей використання водню у металургії є відновлення залізнорудних окатишів (котунів) які складаються з оксидів заліза. Однак виникає проблема нагріву воденьвмісного газу до температури відновлення. Одним з можливих вирішень даної проблеми є використання електротермічного псевдозрідженого шару. Метою статті було визначення принципової можливості відновлення оксидів заліза у вигляді залізнорудних окатишей високотемпературним воденьвмісним газом в електротермічному псевдозрідженому шарі. Авторами розглянуто генерацію водню шляхом піролізу природного газу. Проведені термодинамічні розрахунки процесу відновлення оксидів заліза одержаним воднем вказують на оптимальний діапазон температур процесу: 900…1500 К. Для дослідження даного процесу створена лабораторна установка з електротермічним псевдозрідженим шаром з комбінованим способом нагрівання. Дана установка розділена на дві реакційні зони. У першій природний газ розкладається на водень і піровуглець. Піровуглець, який є цінним матеріалом, залишається у першій реакційній зоні. Утворений водень з високою температурою потрапляє у другу реакційну зону де відновлює залізнорудні окатиші. Під час проведення процесу відновлення залізних окатишей високотемпературним воденьвмісним газом не було виявлено полум’я що супроводжує процес утворення водню піролізом вуглеводнів. Спостерігалося виділення водяної пари на виході з реактору. Це означає, що утворений водень реагував з залізними окатишами та відновлював їх до чистого заліза. Мікроструктура поверхні вихідного залізного окатишу більш темніша та матова, а мікроструктура поверхні обробленого залізного окатишу має світліший колір та блискучу поверхню, яка характерна для чистих металів. Це додатково свідчить про принципову можливість відновлення залізного окатишу до чистого заліза високотемпературним воднем утвореним шляхом піролізу природного газу в електротермічному псевдозрідженому шарі. Результати досліджень можуть бути застосовані в енергетичній галузі, транспортній галузі, зокрема при експлуатації космічних апаратів. Результати статті можуть бути застосовані в практиці енергетиками, експертами хіммотологами,а також науковцями, що займаються розробкою новітніх технологій отримання водню.

Objective: Gender affects how we serve and receive medical care. World Health Organization evaluates gender as a social determinant of health. However, a knowledge gap exists among physicians. The present study aims to adapt Nijmegen Gender in Medicine Awareness Scale (N-GAMS) in the Turkish language and define Turkish medical students’ gender awareness level and related factors.
Methods: Two hundred seventy-two medical students participated. The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy- Student Version, and N-GAMS were utilized to collect data; in addition to sociodemographic form.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis repeated a three-factor structure, as previously demonstrated. The Cronbach’s alpha of the Turkish N-GAMS was 0.887. Criteria-related validity analysis resulted as follows: Gender sensitivity was associated with higher empathy and higher benevolent sexism. Gender role ideology toward patients scores were related to the male sex, lower empathy, and higher levels of sexist attitudes regarding both hostile and benevolent types. Gender role ideology toward doctors was higher in male students, in those with lower empathy, and in ambivalent sexism. Turkish medical students in our sample were less gender-sensitive than their European counterparts.
Conclusion: N-GAMS is valid and reliable among Turkish medical students. There is a need for training in gender awareness in medical faculties.

The Impact of Microfinancing on the Growth of India's MSME Sector: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Aniket Aniket Nivas Bhosale 
Published: October 2023

The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in India plays a crucial role in driving employment opportunities and economic growth. Although most MSMEs are unregistered, they contribute 45 per cent to industrial output and 40 per cent to overall exports. These enterprises have been instrumental in industrializing rural and backward areas, reducing regional imbalances, and promoting equitable distribution of national income and wealth. However, the MSME sector faces several challenges and requires support to capitalize on opportunities in the rapidly evolving global markets. Consultancy services can aid MSMEs in enhancing their competencies in areas such as marketing, finance, business development, operations, and technology. The success of MSMEs is pivotal to rural and regional development, making them a vital component of the economy.
A substantial number of Indian MSMEs rely on self-funding due to limited financing opportunities, especially for micro-enterprises, which comprise nearly 95% of all MSMEs. Late payments by larger enterprises often pose challenges for MSMEs in managing their receivables. The Factoring Regulation Act of 2011 presents a potential solution, expected to boost the factoring industry in India. Factoring services offer advantages such as open account facilities and increased credit limits as sales grow. To support MSMEs, financial institutions in India should be more proactive in providing finance against factored receivables.

A comparison of the main forms of education in higher education institutions of Ukraine was made; the proposed structure of the electronic textbook, which is used in interactive and distance online learning; substantiated concept of dual form of education and given examples of its implementation. A well-founded system of monitoring the process of training specialists in a higher education institution.
Nowadays, it is possible to distinguish five main forms of education: passive, active, and interactive models, as well as distance online learning and a dual form of education. To date, passive, active and interactive learning models have been well developed in terms of methodology. Distance online learning has positively proven itself to ensure the safety of students and teachers during a pandemic and martial law. In Ukraine, the project of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine to introduce a dual form of education in twenty-seven institutions of higher education is currently being implemented. The basic principles of the dual form of education are: increasing the volume of training, which is carried out directly at the workplace; participation of employers' employees in the development and coordination of the educational program of higher education institutions; training on the basis of relevant contracts between the higher education institution, the employer and the student. The practical orientation of dual training plays a special role in the formation of the research competence of the applicant and the training of junior specialists of the specialist qualification (working profession).
New computer components for proximity assessment and recognition of double objects, which are encoded with symbols of the binary alphabet
Authors: Dmitrienko Valerii , Leonov Sergey , Mezentsev Mykola 
Published: October 2023

Numerous binary measures of similarity and distance make it possible to effectively solve various tasks of recognition, classification, estimation of proximity of binary sequences, etc. Since the performance of the proposed systems largely depends on the choice of appropriate measures and distances, many researchers have spent considerable effort to find more efficient binary ratios for solving the mentioned tasks. Numerous binary relations, especially binary ones, have been proposed and investigated in various fields of science. However, it was not possible to determine one or a group of distances or similar measures effective in solving any tasks. In this regard, a number of new methods were proposed, based on the use of algorithms for learning, and on the external similarity of ratios that have different names of methods and proposed by different specialists, and the introduction of pre-processing of the initial data in order to determine the weighting factors when using them.

The fixed-bearing Infinity implant (Wright Medical Group) for total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) was introduced to the U.K. market in 2014 and has rapidly become the most commonly used TAA implant. This is a follow-up report of a multicenter, non-designer, prospective observational study of 503 Infinity fixed-bearing TAA implants. The average follow-up of patients in the current report was 44.9 months (range, 28.3 to 63.9 months). The primary aim was to assess survivorship, complications, and reoperations. Secondary aims were to assess radiographic outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and the influence of patient factors at 2 years. Four hundred and sixty-nine implants were evaluated at 2-year follow-up. Fifteen patients died, 8 withdrew, and 3 were lost to follow-up. The 2-year survivorship was 98.8%, and the non-revision reoperation rate was 2.8%. There was a significant improvement across all functional outcome scores from baseline to 2 years. The early experience and small rate of adverse events reported in this study continue to support the use of the Infinity TAA implant for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis.
