Purpose. Development of complex diagnostic methods and assessment of the course of allergic diseases in immunocompromised individuals with HIV infection based on the use of actual computer technologies to improve the quality of diagnostics and treatment measures in these patients.Materials and methods. Methods for calculating the relative increase and average growth rate used to estimate the annual increase in the number of diagnosed cases of allergic diseases in the Novgorod region. During the studying of the comorbidity of HIV and allergy we used information about a burdened allergic history. Additional parameters of the analysis were data, obtained in clinical laboratory. For analysis of the data we used Student’s t test (t) and Pearson’s x². The study used the principle of a diagnostic matrix, which allows transferring medical experience to IT solutions, such as DSS and their variants.Results. In the Novgorod region there has been an increase in the number of diagnosed cases of individual allergic diseases. Over 1020 registered cases of HIV infection among residents of the Novgorod region considered to study the comorbidity of HIV infection and allergies. Information about aggravated allergic anamnesis is indicated in 12% cases. Statistically significant (p<0.012) correlation between high viral load and the development of drug allergy in HIV-infected patients with identified allergic pathology were shown. The indicators of the immune status showing specific markers of allergy in patients with HIV were studied. We developed the clinical decision support system (CDDS), which used to organize medical knowledge and optimize the diagnostics.>˂ 0.012) correlation between high viral load and the development of drug allergy in HIV-infected patients with identified allergic pathology were shown.

Published: May 2022

he intensive use of cement in construction is a significant environmental concern. To reduce the use of cement for energy consumption, the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) like Fly ash (FA) and Silica fume (SF) in concrete is an interesting solution. FA and SF-based construction materials offer a lot of potential as alternatives to ordinary portland cement (OPC) because of their high performance and environmental friendliness. The level of replacement and the necessity for additional cementitious content are critical considerations when choosing the most sustainable material for concrete production. To achieve long-term sustainability, the use of FA and SF in the construction industry is essential. Therefore, the authors attempted to identify the preferred material between FA and SF for sustainability by conducting a performance evaluation on the mechanical and durability properties of two binary mixes, i.e., FA and SF-based concrete mixes. The first binary blended concrete mix is prepared by replacing cement with FA at 20%, 30%, and 40% by weight, and the second mix is prepared with SF at 5%, 7.5%, and 10% by weight. The compressive strength (CS), flexural strength (FS), water sorptivity (WS), and rate of chloride penetration (RCP) of these two binary blended concrete mixes were studied. The results show that the incorporation of SF and FA has a significant impact on workability. The use of SF considerably increased the early and long-term strength of concrete, whereas FA lowered early age strength; nevertheless, it enhanced long-term strength. It was concluded that the SF contributed to better durability properties than FA. FA at 30\% and SF at 10\% exhibited the desired strength and durability than OPC, which can be used as a sustainable building material.

Published: May 2022

Summary
The objective of the study was to determine self-perceived fatigue (S-PF) after motor abilities testing (MAT) in adolescent male and female elite tennis players. The research sample comprised of 17 male (mean age of 13.00 ± 1.54 years) and 20 female (mean age of 13.15 ± 1.42 years) adolescent elite tennis players who underwent testing of selected motor abilities in tennis. The level of fatigue in adolescent elite tennis players was measured with the Training Distress Scale (TDS). Both groups of elite tennis players declared the lowest, zero level of S-PF by TDS symptoms as inability to remember things and loose bowels or diarrhoea and significant S-PF during 48 hours after MAT was in both genders felt by lack of energy, feeling of heavy arms and legs, joint stiffness of soreness, and muscle soreness. Boys versus girls experienced significantly higher S-PF in the symptoms as difficulty falling asleep, being unusually tired during the day, joint stiffness of soreness, and ordinary tasks require extra effort. No significant differences were found in overall TDS between males and females adolescent elite tennis players.

Abstract
The field of engineering is a complex and well-developed one and thus offers various opportunities to students. Design engineering is a branch of this field that has several categories. The field of engineering involves logic and reason and imagination. The strength of 3D and 2D design is the engineer’s ability to see in space. This skill is cultivated over time and requires practice and work. Time management in favour of effort is also a very important aspect of engineering tool. Design develops with technology because nowadays everything is designed in 3D/2D CAD and CAM space. Thus, technology is the basis of computer-aided design and manufacturing. Automotive design engineering involves continuous study and analysis of the CAD working environment (programs such as CATIA, NX Siemens), the processes to be performed (welding, marking and checking stations) and the materials that can meet the project requirements (such as C45 and PA6).

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The Internet of things (IoT) is playing an important role in nowadays world due to its ability in describing physical objects with sensors that leads to exchanging data with other devices. For this case, we use the IoT technology in this study for solving the daily feeding problem of domestic animals and offering practical solutions to pet owners leads to respond to all requests that may be needed during the regular feeding of our pets. These requests can be pouring the determined amount of food into the pet’s food container at the specified time intervals, controlling this process via the phone application created, giving an extra food with a button if desired, checking whether the pet has eaten the food by means of the weight sensor and informing the user via the phone application when necessary, controlling the pet or the environment with the camera, controlling the amount of food in the food storage tank via the ultrasonic distance sensor and informing the user. For validating this technology, we develop this method systematically and examine with practical development.
Colloidal matter separation of industrial wastewaters from Galați City area by semipermeable membranes

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Various studies have shown that ultrafiltration membranes are successfully involved in the removal process of most organic pollutants from wastewater. In this context, the hydrodynamic characteristics of a modified cellulose ultrafiltration membrane were evaluated. This composite membrane type has been proposed for the separation of colloidal matter from industrial wastewater in Galati City area (Romania). Another purpose of this paper was also to determine the volume flows, along with the permeate and concentrate fluxes through the technical membrane taken under study. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of three samples of industrial water from Galați City area in terms of the degree of contamination was performed. Surface modification was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. Results indicated that the industrial wastewater from the steel factory Liberty Galati was significantly more impure than the water from Cătuşa Lake, which in turn was more impure than the water from Siret River, as indicated by comparative analysis of the water samples subjected to the ultrafiltration operation through semipermeable technical membranes. It was shown that the decrease of the permeate flux at the modified cellulosic membrane was accentuated in the first moments, probably due to the clogging of the surface pores that present an uneven distribution. The results of the present study show that the cellulosic membrane used has pore diameters which correspond to the values recommended for the retention of colloidal matter.

Abstract

Subject and purpose of work: This study assessed child poverty in rural border communities of Nigeria.

Materials and methods: Primary data were used: children (5–16 years old) were respondents of the questionnaire.

Results: The study participants were 58% male and 42% female. Also, many of the children were in the age bracket of 11–15 years and more than half (53.9%) of them had no formal education and were engaged in farming. Most of the children (72.4%) earned between NGN 3,000 and NGN 10,000 as their monthly income. The results further revealed that in the three local government areas, the girls had experienced severe poverty more than the boys. The study also found that the children were severely deprived of safe drinking water, health care facilities, education and a sanitary environment – especially because there were no toilet facilities in these areas.

Conclusions: The study reveals the need for clean portable water, basic health care and well-equipped primary and secondary schools to be provided.
Execution of sentences and community work: organizational dimension and role of the social worker of ministry of justice in italy
Authors: Esposito Maurizio 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Article 27 of the Italian Constitution reads as follows: “Criminal responsibility is personal. The accused is not considered guilty until the final sentence. The penalties cannot consist of treatments contrary to the sense of humanity and must aim at the re-education of the offender. The death penalty is not allowed” (our translation).
Fundamentally important is the international legislation on the rights of detained persons, which is based on the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” (1948), stating in Article 5: “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”. This proposition is the cornerstone that affected all future directives concerning the protection of detained people.
In Italy, the office for external penal execution, as a peripheral branch of the Ministry of Justice, is called to contribute, in addition to social security, to the reintegration and rehabilitation of sentenced persons. Obviously, this can only be possible through collaboration and sharing with the apparatuses and bodies of society, with particular reference to the role of the Third sector.
Therefore, one of the main roles of the social workers of Italian Ministry of Justice is to guatantee the involvement of civil society, the promotion of a culture of solidarity and reintegration within the community to which the detainee belongs, reconstructing a sense of communityship and the broken citizen bond.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the historical evolution of the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR), with a particular focus on the main theories and events that led it to no longer be a voluntary choice but a necessity for the company’s long-term survival. The article will first analyze the main definitions in the literature to determine the aspects that characterize it. Subsequently, using a theoretical approach, a literature review will be performed to describe its historical evolution, starting from its birth during the Industrial Revolution period (1760-1840) up to the present day. The analysis results show that, in the scientific debate, the CSR concept was initially focused on the workers’ well-being and, subsequently, it expanded its scope and significance to include all stakeholders’ categories. Furthermore, it emerged that CSR become a necessity for the companies’ long-term survival, especially in the post-pandemic period. For this reason, companies must develop new business models to face sustainability issues and meet social needs.

AbstractThrough this contribution of a geopolitical approach, the author intends to propose an updated and accurate framework on the relations between China and Africa as well as some critical reflections on various geopolitical and geo-economic aspects concerning the intense development of the diversified economic relations between China and the different African States.China’s foreign economic policy in Africa has laid solid foundations through the implementation of the various Sino-African Cooperation Forums that have taken place since 2000 and that have seen an increasing involvement of the Chinese government in the process.This paper intends to make a brief reflection on China’s visible economic and geopolitical interest in the African Continent as a whole. The analysis that follows traces the main stages in the history of relations between China and Africa, emphasizing the increased importance of the Sino-African forums that led to what is now known as Chinese neo-colonization. In addition, the case studies of the Silk Road and the Rare Lands are highlighted. Finally, some of the social impacts of the Chinese presence in Africa are also examined such as the construction of new cities for the Chinese migrant population and the teaching of the Chinese language (Mandarin) in schools in some African Countries.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The prediction of displacements in earthen dams after seismic loading is necessary to ensure their proper functioning. In this study, the finite element software plaxis 2D is used to model the nonlinear dynamic behavior (elasto-plastic) of the embankment dam solicited by real seismic records. The earth dam considered in our case study is the Taksebt dam located in the north-east of Algeria. The main steps of the modeling are the following: first the dam of Taksebt was analyzed under seismic stresses without water (empty). Then the dam of Taksebt is subjected to the same seismic records with water (full). The comparison of the study cases allows us to estimate the displacements in the two main directions (horizontal and vertical).The results obtained show the ability to estimate the displacements in an embankment dam under seismic excitation. In addition, the analysis time will be reduced considerably by considering the two extreme cases of seismic loading.

Authors: Tsereteli Ioseb 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Organized crime is the most dangerous type of criminal activity because organized crime associations run the criminal environment and commit various types of serious criminal acts. The fight against organized crime is, therefore, a priority for individual countries as well as for the world community as a whole. To combat this phenomenon, the United Nations adopted the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime on November 15, 2000, which has been ratified by many countries around the world. In addition, one of the types of organized crime is the so-called “thieves in law” institute, which originated in the former Soviet Union and is known around the world as the Russian mafia, namely the Russian term “Vory v Zakone”, which means “thieves in law”. means. Today, their criminal activities are widespread in many countries. We believe that in order to fight against this criminal association, it is necessary to study the history of its emergence and development. That is why our goal is the so-called. A study of the history of the institute of “thieves in law” and some peculiarities.
Assesment of the Quality of Reporting Information on CO2 Emission Rights on the Example of Energy Sector Groups Listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange
Authors: Strojek-Filus Marzena , Sulik-Górecka Aleksandra 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Poland is a participant to the European Union Emissions Trading System, which aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Trading CO2 emission rights has become a strategic area from the point of view of managing entities that emit CO2. The aim of the paper is to investigate and identify discrepancies in the presentation and valuation of CO2 emission allowances, CO2 emission provision liabilities in reporting, and to assess the impact of these discrepancies on compliance with the true and fair view principle on top of the informative value of the financial statements. An in-depth qualitative analysis was used to examine disclosures of CO2 emission rights in the 2020 consolidated financial statements coming from the largest energy sector groups listed in the WIG Energy Index of the Warsaw Stock Exchange in light of the relevant legal acts and literature. As a result of the research conducted, it was confirmed that groups of companies carry out a range of CO2 emission rights balance classification and valuation. There were also significant discrepancies in the disclosure of information about the creation and valuation of provisions for liabilities due to CO2 emissions. The discrepancies observed in the audited entities’ balance-sheet presentations and valuation of the acquired CO2 emission allowances and reserves resulting from IAS/IFRS in practice distorts the comparability of data presented in the financial statements. The research also revealed differences in scope of disclosed information, as well as its fragmentary nature. As a result, the comparison of data between groups in the energy sector in terms of their assets is impossible. Our study fills a research gap on the effects of using IFRS for the presentation and valuation of CO2 emission rights in the Polish energy sector and the impact of a differentiated approach to disclosures on the true and fair view conception in financial reporting.

Abstract
Pandemics have the potential to cause immense disruption of our everyday activities and has impact on the communities and societies mainly through the restrictions applied to the business activities, services, manufacturing, but also education, transportation etc. Therefore, it is important to create suitable prediction models to establish convenient methods for the planning of the operations and processes to cope with the difficulty. In this paper, the prediction model for the spread of the viral disease in term of the estimated maximal weekly confirmed cases and weekly deaths using the Weibull distribution as a theoretical model for statistical data processing is presented. The theoretical prediction model was applied and confirmed on the data available for the whole world and compared to the situation in Europe and Slovakia for the pandemic waves and can be used for the more precise prediction of the pandemic situation and to enhance planning of the activities and processes regarding to the restrictions applied during the worsening pandemic situation.

Authors: Wang Suyue 
Published: May 2022

The article is an analysis of the lexico-semantic group, which is an important part of the study of semantics. The relevance of the research topic is due to the great research significance and value of studying linguoculture in various national language pictures of the world. The day as a part of time is the main key concept for the study of time, and the study of time for the analysis of differences and similarities between the language and culture of different countries and peoples has become a hot topic for scientists of the linguistic community. The purpose of the work is to consider the specific differences and similarities between the lexemes "day" of the Russian and Chinese languages by highlighting the lexico-semantic group. The article also analyzes the term "day" in order to identify differences in the linguistic worldview of different nationalities. As the main methods of analysis and research, the component method was used, which allows a deeper and more detailed interpretation of the lexeme "day" and its lexico-semantic group in two language pictures of the world. The scientific novelty of the work is to identify the differences and similarities between the Russian and Chinese languages and culture through the reflection of various details and a detailed analysis of the lexico-semantic group with the allocation of the "measurement of time", "movement of the sun and moon", "human activity" in it. The differences and similarities in the perception of time by a person in different linguistic pictures of the world are demonstrated.
