Authors: Kolomatska V. P. , Relina L. I. , Syvenko V. I. , Andriienko V. V. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Sunflower is grown as an oilseed crop worldwide. For sunflower production, it is vital to have cold-tolerant hybrids. An appropriate method to assess cold tolerance is a prerequisite for successful breeding of cold-tolerant sunflower.
Purpose and Objectives. To evaluate cold tolerance of sunflower in the laboratory and its tolerance in the field, to identify promising combinations, to assess the capacity of a laboratory test to predict tolerance of sunflower in the field and to verify relationships of cold tolerance with ripeness group and yield.
Materials and Methods. Sunflower was grown in compliance with standard farming techniques. In total, 192 F1 hybrids were obtained. The lines and hybrids were screened for ability to germinate at above-zero low temperature by laboratory test. The field tolerance at the initial stages of plant growth was determined with a 9-point scale. Relationships between the investigated parameters were analyzed by linear regression.
Results and Discussion. The highest field tolerance at the initial stages of plant growth was recorded for Kh4713V, Skh777А and Skh808А lines. However, they only conferred tolerance to some of their hybrids. On the other hand, several hybrids were fairly tolerant in the field though the tolerance scores of their parental lines ranged 1 to 5 points. There was no relationship between the ‘emergence – anthesis’ period and cold tolerance. A great degree of uncertainty is associated with predicting field tolerance of sunflower from its cold tolerance assessed by laboratory test. This laboratory test cannot be used to predict field tolerance of either lines or hybrids. There was a strong positive correlation between the field tolerance and seed yield in the lines, but the correlation coefficient for the hybrids indicated no significant correlation between these parameters.
Conclusions. At non-freezing low temperatures, the yield of the inbred sunflower lines was positively correlated with the field tolerance score at the early stages of plant growth and development. There was no significant difference in responses of early- and medium-ripening sunflower genotypes to cold exposure. Lakhanov’s cold germination test is not appropriate for evaluation of field tolerance in sunflower lines and hybrids.

Published: December 2023

Підвищений метаболізм при хворобі Грейвса супроводжується надмірним утворенням активних форм кисню в тканинах організму. За даними літератури, накопичення активних форм кисню спричиняє розвиток і прогресування окисного стресу, а активація оксидантних реакцій суттєво впливає на клінічний перебіг і результати лікування захворювання.
Мета роботи — оцінити ефективність застосування антиоксидантів, зокрема вітамінів Е та С, у доопераційній підготовці пацієнтів із хворобою Грейвса.
Матеріали та методи. У дослідження було залучено 48 жінок віком від 21 до 43 років із хворобою Грейвса, тиреотоксикозом середньої тяжкості. Їх розподілили на дві групи: контрольну (n=21), яка отримувала тирозол як тиреостатичну терапію, та досліджувану (n=27), якій призначали тирозол у комбінації з препаратами вітамінів Е та С. Обстеження проводили на початку дослідження, через 1 та 2 міс від початку лікування. Вивчали зміни гормональної функції щитоподібної залози за показниками тиреотропного гормону та вільного тироксину, стан окисного стресу за рівнем малонового діальдегіду і загальної антиоксидантної здатності плазми.
Результати. Комбінація тиреостатиків (тирозолу) і антиоксидантів (вітамінів Е та С) при підготовці пацієнтів із хворобою Грейвса до хірургічного лікування порівняно із застосуванням лише тиреостатиків дає змогу якісніше та швидше досягти стану еутиреозу.
Висновки. Доповнення тиреостатичної терапії пацієнтів із хворобою Грейвса антиоксидантами ­сприяє швидкому і виразнішому досягненню еути­реоїд­ного стану та підготовці до хірургічного лікування.

Мета роботи — оцінити віддалені результати використання терапії інфрачервоним лазером у хворих на вузловий токсичний зоб після органозберігаючих оперативних втручань.
Матеріали та методи. У дослідження було залучено 69 пацієнтів із вузловим токсичним зобом (ВТЗ). В основній групі 35 (50,7%) хворих на ВТЗ у післяопераційний період отримали лікування інфрачервоним лазером, у групі порівняння 34 (49,3%) пацієнти проліковано відповідно до стандартів Американської тиреоїдної асоціації. В основній групі проведено 15 (42,9%) органозберігаючих оперативних втручань та 20 (57,1%) радикальних операцій, у групі порівняння — 16 (47,1%) та 18 (52,9%) відповідно.
Результати. За результатами контролю вмісту тиреоїдних гормонів в основній групі вже через 6 міс повністю відмінили гормональну терапію у 6 (40,0%) пацієнтів, а через 12 міс — у 8 (53,3%) хворих. Середня доза левотироксину для підтримувальної гормональної терапії через 6 та 12 міс становила 25,0 (25,0; 50,0) і 12,5 (12,5; 25,0) мкг відповідно. У групі порівняння лише у 2 (12,5%) пацієнтів повністю відмінено прийом препаратів левотироксину через 12 міс після оперативного втручання (U=40,5; p=0,0487). Середня доза підтримувальної гормональної терапії становила 50,0 (25,0; 75,0) мкг (U=18,0; p=0,0062). Через 12 міс після органозберігаючого оперативного втручання в основній групі виявлено статистично значуще збільшення об’єму залишкової тиреоїдної паренхіми, у групі порівняння таких змін не спостерігали.
Висновки. Лікування інфрачервоним лазером сприяло збільшенню об’єму залишкової тиреоїдної паренхіми протягом 12 міс із 7,4 (4,8; 8,9) до 9,6 (7,2; 11,8) см3 (р=0,0327). Застосування інфрачервоного лазера в пацієнтів з органозберігаючими оперативними втручаннями з приводу ВТЗ дало змогу у 8 (53,3%) пацієнтів повністю відмінити підтримувальну гормональну терапію (p=0,0487), у 7 (46,7%) — мінімізувати прийом препаратів левотироксину: середня доза зменшилася з 50,0 (25,0; 50,0) до 12,5 (12,5; 25,0) мкг (р=0,0081).

The study was conducted at Tulsipur, Dang, Nepal for two years (2021 and 2022 A.D.) to assess the postharvest quality performance of open pollinated (OP) cauliflower curd. Five OP cauliflower cultivars viz. Kathmandu Local, Khumal Jyapu, Agheni, Terai-1 and Terai-2 (seed sourced from Nepal Agriculture Research Council, Khumaltar, Lalitpur) were replicated four times in Randomized Complete Block Design. Freshly harvested curds from respective plots were considered in postharvest and sensory study. Maximum curd dry matter (15.91%) and Vitamin C content (37.94 mg/100 gm) was recorded in Khumal Jyapu whereas, maximum leaf dry matter (12.53%) and TSS (7.1830Brix) were recorded in Aghani. The color score (8.913) and overall appearance score (7.908) were maximum in Khumal Jyapu. The curd compactness score (7.475) and overall acceptance score (8.133) were recorded maximum in Aghani. The lowest physiological loss in curd weight with jacket leaves (8.193%) was recorded in Khumal Jyapu after 3 days after harvesting (DAH) whereas; the lowest physiological loss in curd weight recorded in Aghani were 13.47%, 19.32%% and 25.06% at 5, 7 and 9 DAH respectively. Similarly, the lowest physiological loss in curd weight without jacket leaves recorded in Khumal Jyapu were 10.45%, 14.82%, 22.83% and 29.77% at 3, 5, 7 and 9 DAH respectively. The lowest spoilage losses of curd along with and without jacket leaves recorded in Aghani were 33.27% and 38.77% respectively. Considering the economically important postharvest attributes Khumal Jyapu and Aghani were found to be the suitable mid-season cultivars in Dang condition.

Published: December 2023

Background: Hypertension, often known as high blood pressure, is a crucial public health issue and an essential topic of study because of its high prevalence and being a vital exposure to cardiovascular diseases and other health consequences. Therefore, being both a standalone disease and a precursor to non-communicable illnesses, hypertension poses a global health menace.
Objective: The study was conducted to investigate the status of hypertension and its associated risk factors among the teachers from Tribhuvan University Campus.
Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional research study involved 247 teachers from TU central campus using stratified random sampling and both descriptive and inferential statistical analytical methods. Multinomial logistic regression model was employed to investigate the relationship between several variables and hypertension levels.
Results: The fitted model, which had a classification accuracy of 67.2%, met the diagnostic test requirements for goodness of fit, multi-collinearity and minimal criteria of the model's use. Influential variables for pre-hypertension included interpersonal relationship, age group, gender, duration of service, smoking and physical activeness. For hypertension, significant variables encompassed job itself, interpersonal relationship, age group (45-50 years), gender, duration of service, smoking, tobacco use and physical activeness.
Conclusion: It was observed that 37.7% of the respondents had hypertensive status, 30.3% were surpassing normotensive and 32.0% were pre-hypertensive. Teachers’ hypertension status was discovered to be influenced by a variety of sociodemographic, behavioral, clinical, and stress variables. Concerned authorities must pay close attention to this issue.
Laws Related to Banking Offences: A Social Analysis
Authors: Gartaula Milan R. 
Published: December 2023

Banking is an important institution and in banking too, there are many more offences over its activities. Law is a formal tool to socially control such activities. The article is an analysis of such discourses.
The factors that come into play while the Judiciary delivers verdict to some particular banking offence case are not solely technical; for social aspects also come into play. Laws are made with reference to some particular state of society; and need to be complemented with certain assumptions and extrapolations when used in a different state of society. This creates room for multiple explanations as shown in the different case studies listed in this paper.

Authors: Lutkutė-Zakarienė Varsa 
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article reflects the discussions of the principles of musical folklore collection that were established at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (LMTA) and which formed the basis for the content of the article. It is clarified what led to the choice of one or another method of archive accumulation, what reasons determined the filling. The aesthetic views of the workers and leaders of folklore field research, their attitude to the value and beauty of the song, which were important for the accumulation of content, are discussed. The following methods of scientific research were used: observation, comparison, experiment, measurement, abstraction. The scientific significance of the publication lies in the fact that the analyzed topics are treated for the first time in national ethnomusicology.
The preserved content reflects the values of the urban folklore movement of the late 20th century and describes the entire singing folklore of the villagers of that era. It also partly reflects the manner and style of singing in the villages of that time. This situation was dictated by historical circumstances, by the endeavor of the participants in the folklore movement to resist Soviet reality.

In the context of modern development in the construction industry and engineering design, the utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has acquired strategic significance for the technical inspection of buildings. This article examines the importance of BIM as a tool aimed at obtaining comprehensive and detailed information about the construction, condition, and functionality of buildings. The primary objective of employing BIM in the context of technical inspections lies in the ability to create digital models that integrate diverse data related to the constructive and engineering characteristics of buildings. This ensures the standardization of information and simplifies analytical processes directed towards making well-founded decisions. The process of modeling an analytical model within the BIM system requires the integration of calculations with model parameters to account for the behavior of constructions under various load conditions and different design alternatives. The application of analytical analysis methods in the digital environment allows for more precise and reliable results, facilitating the identification of potential issues and optimizing design decisions.
The paper presents an analysis of the experience in using preprocessors in creating computational models within the BIM system. Special attention is given to the role of the Structural Information Model (SIM) in the life cycle of the BIM model. The rules and methods of SIM development in the information modeling system are discussed, along with the unique features in the development of an analytical model within the SIM system. The study elaborates on the advantages of utilizing SIM during the technical inspection of buildings and provides specific examples for addressing typical issues in the construction phase. Emphasis is placed on potential outcomes and functionality achievable through the use of the SIM model in addressing tasks related to the technical inspection of buildings, contributing to the enhancement of efficiency and accuracy in the analysis of structural conditions.

This article explores the construction of houses underground and examines their applications in various historical and contemporary contexts. The impact of natural conditions on the choice of underground buildings, their energy efficiency and ability to provide comfortable living conditions was analyzed. With the development of technology and the rise of environmental problems, innovative approaches to construction, including underground cities and buildings that can solve the problems of overcrowding and pollution in large cities, have been considered. Examples of successful underground buildings around the world are given, including historic cities and modern underground house projects.
Both positive and negative sides of underground houses are considered. Cost reduction, service life, optimization of spatial use and resistance to natural phenomena are identified as advantages. Disadvantages include psychological barriers, lack of daylight, and the possibility of problems with ventilation and thermal insulation. However, such houses can not only provide new living spaces, but also have a positive effect on the ecosystem and solve the current problems of modern cities.
SİNOP AYANCIK YENİKONAK (OTMANLI) KÖYÜ’NDE GELENEKSEL KIRSAL MİMARİ II
Authors: BAYRAKTAR Mehmet Sami 
Published: December 2023

Öz
Sinop İli Ayancık İlçesi’ne bağlı Yenikonak Bucağı’nın Merkez Köyü olan Otmanlı, Ayancık’ın 10 km güneyinde yer alır. Köyde halen konut, ahır - ağıl - samanlık, odunluk, ambar, fırın, çeşme, kuyu, menfez, atölye kümes ve çardak olmak üzere 13 tür geleneksel kırsal yapı bulunmaktadır. Evler ve ev altı kesiminde bulunan ahır - ağıl – samanlıklar ilk makelenin, bunların dışında kalanlar bu çalışmanın konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Yakın bölge ve Karadeniz Bölgesi ağırlıklı bir değerlendirme yapılarak yapı türlerinin karakteristik özellikleri ve geleneksel kırsal mimarideki yerleri konusunda analizler yapılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma, Sinop yöresi geleneksel kırsal mimarisinin belgelenip değerlendirmesine katkı sağlayacaktır. Çalışma alanında bulunan yapıları konu alan bilimsel bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır.
Köy sakinlerinin verdiği bilgilere ve yapıların mimari özelliklerine bakılarak en eski yapıların 17. yüzyıla tarihlediğimiz Meydan Çeşmesi ile 18. yüzyıla tarihlediğimiz 1 Numaralı Fırın olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz. Diğer yapılar 19. yüzyıl ile 20. yüzyıl ortalarına kadar geçen dönemde yapılmış olmalıdır.
Otmanlı Köyü’ndeki geleneksel kırsal yapılar, köy ölçeğinde zamanla biriken halk mimarlığı kültürün bir yansımasıdır. Yapım sistemi bakımından incelenen yapılarda üç ayrı tip ile karşılaşılır. Kâgir yığma, ahşap karkas ve ahşap yığma (çantı). Tipler, çoğu kez aynı yapıda farklı kesimlerde karma şekilde uygulanmıştır. Ancak ahşap yığma ve ahşap karkas, kâgir (Otmanlı’da taş kâgir) sisteme göre çok daha baskındır.
Mekân düzeni bağlamında evlerde olduğu gibi her yapı türünde birbirine benzer bir tipleşmeden söz edilebilir. Ahır – ağıllar – samanlıklar aynı çatı altında bütünleşik karakterli yapılardır. Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesinde serender adıyla bilinen yapıların yalın benzerleri olan ambarlar, direklik ile bunun üstünde yer alan ambar katından oluşan iki katlı yapılardır. İkiz ve tek fırın şeklinde görülen fırınlar; kare mekânlı ve kubbeli ana yapı ile bunun önündeki sundurmadan oluşmaktadır. Çeşmeler; ilki avlu duvarına yaslı, salma lüleli, art arda sıralı uzun yalaklı, diğeri depolu meydan çeşmesi olmak üzere iki tiptir. Etkileyici çatı, kütle, malzeme-teknik ve figürlü bezeme unsurlarıyla köyün en dikkat çeken yapısı olan Meydan Çeşmesi, taşra ölçeğinde özenli ve gösterişli bir örnektir. Demirci atölyesi, kuyu ve menfezler son derece yalın yapılardır.
Otmanlı Köyü geleneksel yapılarının, yapım sistemi, plan, malzeme-teknik, mimari eleman ve süsleme özellikleri, Orta Karadeniz Bölgesinin kırsal yapı karakterini yansıtmaktadır. İncelenen yapıların yakın benzerleri Sinop ve komşu illerde de görülmektedir. “Destek kavila” ayrıntısıyla ayrıca dikkat çeken say taşlı çatı kaplaması, araştırma alanının en özgün mimari unsurudur.
ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF Pω(Y0, Y1,±∞)-SOLUTIONS OF THE SECOND ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH THE PRODUCT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF NONLINEARITIES FROM AN UNKNOWN FUNCTION AND ITS FIRST DERIVATIVE
Authors: Chepok O. 
Published: December 2023

The task of establishing the conditions of existence, as well as finding asymptotic images of solutions of differential equations, which contain nonlinearities of various types in the righthand side, is one of the most important tasks of the qualitative theory of differential equations. In this work, second-order differential equations, which contain in the right part the product of a regularly varying nonlinearity from an unknown function and a rapidly varying nonlinearity from the derivative of an unknown function when the corresponding arguments are directed to zero or infinity, are considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of slowly varying P!(Y0; Y1;±∞) solutions of such equations have been obtained. Asymptotic representations of such solutions and their first-order derivatives have also been obtained. When additional conditions are imposed on the coefficients of the characteristic equation of the corresponding equivalent system of quasi-linear differential equations, it is established that there is
a one-parameter family of such P!(Y0; Y1;±∞)-solutions to the equation. Similar results were obtained earlier when considering second-order equations, which contain on the right-hand side the product of a rapidly varying function from an unknown function and a properly varying function from the derivative of an unknown function when the arguments go to zero or infinity. Results for the equation, considered in this paper, are new.
