Published: September 2022

Problem. The complexity of software is constantly growing. Today a user is interested in software that is integrated into all aspects of their life. Creating a large number of diverse software applications is impossible without the formation of a software development team. Agile methodologies are used to develop most modern programs. The most common is the SCRUM methodology. Team working is managed by a SCRUM master, which is the interface between the owner and the project team. Therefore, choosing an effective SCRUM master is an urgent task. Aim The work aims to increase the efficiency of software development projects by developing the SCRUM master selection model using fuzzy sets, which will consider the individual characteristics and advantages of the SCRUM project team members. Methodology. The methods and principles of fuzzy mathematics are used. Decision-making methods in the conditions of fuzzy input data were used to develop a model for choosing a SCRUM master for a software development project. Results. Today, there are many variants of models for software development projects. The choice of one or another option depends on the features and requirements of the project. A fuzzy model for choosing a SCRUM master for managing a software development project has been developed. An example of work distribution between performers using the theory of fuzzy sets is given. Calculations were made in Microsoft Excel. Originality. The developed model allows choosing a SCRUM master in the conditions of fuzzy information about the individual preferences of the areas of the software development project team. Practical value. Using the proposed SCRUM master selection model for a software development project will improve project team communication and reduce the development time. In addition, the proposed model can be used to select a SCRUM master for other projects.

Purpose: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease increasing by age. miRNA-1291 is a microRNA that plays major role in many immune-mediated cutaneous diseases. We aimed to investigate the role of miRNA-1291 in BP by comparing its expression levels in serum and lesional skin and its correlation with other BP biomarkers (CCL17, anti-BP180, and anti-BP230).
Materials and methods: Twenty three patients with BP and 23 healthy control patients were included in the study. The miRNeasy Mini Kits was used for RNA isolation from serum and biopsy samples. Qiagen-miRCURY LNA RT Kit was used for conversion of cDNA. miRNA-1291 expression was performed by Real-Time PCR with the original primer and SYBR Green master mix. Serum CCL17, anti-BP180, and anti-BP230 levels were measured with use of ELISA. SPSS 25.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software) was used for statistical evaluation.
Results: The expression of miRNA-1291 in serum and biopsy samples were 7.02 and 4.77-fold significantly upregulated than that of control group respectively (p=0.001, p=0.007). The serum levels of anti-BP-180, anti-BP-230 and CCL17 in BP patients were significantly higher compared to control group (p=0.0049, p=0.0071, p=0.001). Anti-BP180, anti-BP230, CCL17 levels and serum miRNA-1291 expression were correlated positively in BP patients. Additionally, serum miRNA-1291 expression were correlated well with lesional miRNA-1291 expression.
Conclusion: The increase in miRNA-1291 levels in serum and lesional tissue compared to non-lesional tissue suggests that miRNA-1291 may play a role in the pathogenesis of BP. As miRNA-1291 correlates with other BP biomarkers, it may serve as an important biomarker for BP.
Microsurgical anatomy of the auditory radiations: revealing the enigmatic acoustic pathway from a surgical viewpoint

OBJECTIVE
The thalamocortical projections of the auditory system have not been detailed via microanatomical fiber dissections from a surgical viewpoint. The aim of this study was to delineate the course of the auditory radiations (ARs) from the medial geniculate body to their final destination in the auditory cortex. The authors’ additional purpose was to display the relevant neural structures in relation to their course en route to Heschl’s gyrus.

METHODS
White matter fibers were dissected layer by layer in a lateral-to-medial, inferolateral-to-superomedial, and inferior-to-superior fashion.

RESULTS
The origin of ARs just distal to the medial geniculate body was revealed following the removal of the parahippocampal gyrus, cingulum bundle, and mesial temporal structures, in addition to the lateral geniculate body. Removing the fimbria, stria terminalis, and the tail of the caudate nucleus along the roof of the temporal horn in an inferior-to-superior direction exposed the lateral compartment of the sublenticular segment of the internal capsule as the predominant obstacle that prevents access to the ARs. The ARs were initially obscured by the inferolaterally located temporopulvinar tract of Arnold, and their initial course passed posterolateral to the temporopontine fascicle of Türck. The ARs subsequently traversed above the temporopulvinar fibers in a perpendicular manner and coursed in between the optic radiations at the sensory intersection region deep to the inferior limiting sulcus of insula. The distal part of the ARs intermingled with the fibers of the anterior commissure and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus during its ascent toward Heschl’s gyrus. The ARs finally projected to a large area over the superior temporal gyrus, extending well beyond the anteroposterior boundaries of the transverse temporal gyri.

CONCLUSIONS
The ARs can be appreciated as a distinct fiber bundle ascending between the fibers of the sublenticular segment of the internal capsule and traversing superiorly along the roof of the temporal horn by spanning between the optic radiations. Our novel findings suggest potential disruption of the ARs’ integrity during transsylvian and transtemporal approaches along the roof of the temporal horn toward the mesial temporal lobe. The detailed 3D understanding of the ARs’ relations and awareness of their course may prove helpful to secure surgical interventions to the region.

OBJECTIVE
The outbreak of COVID-19 and the sudden increase in the number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation significantly affected the management of neurooncological patients. Hospitals were forced to reallocate already scarce human resources to maximize intensive care unit (ICU) capacities, resulting in a significant postponement of elective procedures for patients with brain and spinal tumors, who traditionally require elective postoperative surveillance on ICU or intermediate care wards. This study aimed to characterize those patients in whom postoperative monitoring is required by analyzing early postoperative complications and associated risk factors.

METHODS
All patients included in the analysis experienced benign or malignant cerebral or intradural tumors and underwent surgery between September 2017 and May 2019 at University Hospital Münster, Germany. Patient data were generated from a semiautomatic, prospectively designed database. The occurrence of adverse events within 24 hours and 30 days postoperatively—including unplanned reoperation, postoperative hemorrhage, CSF leakage, and pulmonary embolism—was chosen as the primary outcome measure. Furthermore, reasons and risk factors that led to a prolonged stay on the ICU were investigated. By performing multivariable logistic regression modeling, a risk score for early postoperative adverse events was calculated by assigning points based on beta coefficients.

RESULTS
Eight hundred eleven patients were included in the study. Eleven patients (1.4%) had an early adverse event within 24 hours, which was either an unplanned reoperation (0.9%, n = 7) or a pulmonary embolism (0.5%, n = 4) within 24 hours. To predict the incidence of early postoperative complications, a score was developed including the number of secondary diagnoses, BMI, and incision closure time, termed the SOS score. According to this score, 0.3% of the patients were at low risk, 2.5% at intermediate risk, and 12% at high risk (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
Postoperative surveillance in cranial and spinal tumor neurosurgery might only be required in a distinct patient collective. In this study, the authors present a new score allowing efficient prediction of the likelihood of early adverse events in patients undergoing neurooncological procedures, thus helping to stratify the necessity for ICU or intermediate care unit beds. Nevertheless, validation of the score in a multicenter prospective setting is needed.

Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: Suprahyoid muscles behavior during the tongue lifting movement has not yet been elucidated. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of elastography imaging to examine developmental oral dysfunction in children and oral hypofunction in older adults using sonography. METHODS: Tongue pressure was measured using a manometer with a probe. The tongue pressure was measured with simultaneously scanning the geniohyoid muscle (GHM) and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle (DGM) using sonographic elastography. Sagittal images of the GHM and coronal images of the DGM were used for the strain ratio measurement. The strain ratio of the muscles was measured three times for each subject with the tongue pressure values of 0–30 kPa. RESULTS: The strain ratio of the GHM were higher than those of the DGM at tongue pressure of 10, 20 and 30 kPa. The strain ratio of the GHM increased as the tongue pressure increased in all participants. In contrast, the strain ratio of the DGM tended to slowly decrease as tongue pressure increased in female participants. CONCLUSION: Sonographic elastography is useful for visual and quantitative evaluation of elastic properties in suprahyoid muscles during tongue lifting movements.

Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary artery stenosis is a serious threat to people’s life and health. OBJECTIVE: The hydrodynamic mechanism of pulmonary artery stenosis is investigated. METHODS: Numerical analysis of hemodynamics in pulmonary artery stenosis using computational fluid dynamics techniques is performed. An idealized model of pulmonary artery stenosis is established, and the model is divided into main pulmonary artery, right and left pulmonary arteries, and their branches. The sections at different positions are intercepted to study the distribution trend of maximum velocity, pressure and wall shear stress. RESULTS: The numerical simulation results show that the pressure drop at both ends of the narrow area is large. High velocity and wall shear stress exist in the center of stenosis, and the wall shear stress at the distal end of stenosis gradually decreases, resulting in endothelial dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS: To some extent, this study helps clinicians make diagnosis and treatment plans in advance and improve prognosis. This method could be used in the numerical simulation of practical models.

Authors: Gomon Petro 
Published: September 2022

A detailed analysis of domestic and foreign publications on this issue, as well as building codes of different countries. After reviewing the sources, the main objectives of this article are set.
The sequence of calculation of wooden beams with sequential loading is offered. Modeling of the element consists of the following stages: step-by-step determination of internal forces acting depending on the external load; establishment of stress-strain state in different cross-sections, namely curvature, position of the neutral line, determination of deformations, internal stresses at any point of the stretched and compressed zone; use of the curvature diagram to determine the rotation of the bending wooden element; construction of deviations of a bending element from initial position; search for maximum tangential stresses that may occur in different sections along the length of the beam.
Two methods can be used to determine the rotation of the beam: the first option is the finite element method, breaking the bending element into a finite number of elements and determining the rotation of each of them; the second is to integrate the curvature change function along the length of the beam.
The basic calculation schemes of wooden beams are given and the plots of stresses of their change of the neutral line are constructed.
The stress-strain state of such elements in different cross sections is established. A method for determining the maximum tangential stresses is proposed. The method of finding deflections is given. A method for finding the curvature of the elements is proposed.
The tasks for further research on this issue are given.

Authors: Habrel Mykola , Lysiaк Natalia , Habrel Taras 
Published: September 2022

Characterization and analysis of structural-parametric transformations in cities - regional centers of the Western region are carried out. Assumptions are made on the basis of observations that changes lead to the deterioration of socio-ecological and economic parameters and architectural and aesthetic characteristics of cities. Comparison of transformations in selected cities - regional centers of the region indicates the phenomenon of fluctuation as an accidental (unreasonable) deviation of a quantity (process or phenomenon) from the average value in individual cities. The large number of different documents of this nature, aimed at different purposes, emphasizes the lack of a unified strategy for urban development. The inconsistency of documents of socio-economic and town-planning character, lack of an effective document of management of town-planning processes is highlighted. Management "in manual mode" causes unsystematic changes, the destruction of the basic principles of urban development, causes irreparable urban planning errors in their development. Assessment of transformations in post-Soviet cities reveals problems, conflicts and inconsistencies: lack of coordinated policies within newly created communities; territorial; ecological; exacerbation of transport problems; destruction of industry and economic structure; social; preservation of historical parts; aesthetic and spatial; engineering and technical; city resource management and uncontrolled processes.
Analysis and evaluation of processes, problems and structural-parametric transformations in the urban space should be the basis of a new methodological approach to substantiation of strategic decisions and updating urban development documents.There are requirements for urban planning documentation: the organization and development of cities as a system should be focused on increasing the efficiency of time, material resources and human potential; the development of cities on the basis of knowledge of problems and ways to solve them, including world experience, should be associated primarily with the disclosure of their spatial uniqueness. Generalization of the results of analysis and evaluation of structural and parametric transformations in cities indicates the growth of disorder in urban life and the growth of its dynamism, there are spaces of different attractiveness in functional, social and aesthetic terms.

Authors: Zhukova Nataliia 
Published: September 2022

The aim of the work is to conceptualize the moral quest of modern man in the novels «Shame» and «The Butterfly Effect» by the Swedish writer K. Alvtegen. The methodological basis of the study is general scientific methods of analysis: historicism, systematization, comparison and generalization of the problem under study. A significant role in the analysis of the specificity of the creative process, the disclosure of the moral quests of modern man in the artistic work is played by an interdisciplinary approach, which allowed to attract scientific developments from the branches of cultural studies, philosophy, ethics and psychology. Scientific novelty: for the first time in Russian cultural studies the work of K. Alvtegen was analyzed in the context of the disclosure of the problem of moral quests of man in modern literature. Conclusions: K. Alvtegen's novels «Shame» and «Butterfly Effect» have been analyzed. It is shown that the author creates images of his characters, first of all, in the psychoanalytical perspective, relying on the ideas of different philosophical schools, while trying to fix the attention of readers on the moral aspect of human existence, in particular on the manifestation of shame, guilt and fear. It is noted that the work of K. Alvtegen is a significant phenomenon in the logic of the development of the modern literary process.
Key words: shame, guilt, fear, «will to meaning», psychological trauma, «existential turn».

Published: September 2022

The purpose of the research is to reveal the cultural aspects of Volodymyr Yanev's scientific work in the context of cultural anthropological and ethnopsychological studies. The research methodology is based on the involvement of the humanistic approach as the basis for understanding the scientific heritage of V. Yanev; the synergistic approach is used as a methodological basis for the multifaceted analysis of conceptual ideas of cultural, anthropological, and ethnopsychological knowledge; the axiological approach is used to identify the value principles of V. Yanev's scientific work. The article uses the following methods: analytical - for the study of historical-philosophical, cultural, ethno-psychological works on anthropological issues; semiotic analysis - for the reconstruction of meanings, signs and symbols embedded in the analyzed works of the scientist; comparative analysis - to compare various scientific theories developed in the field of cultural anthropology and ethnopsychology. The scientific novelty of the article arises from the fact that the first scientific work of the outstanding Ukrainian scientist – Volodymyr Yanev is interpreted through the prism of cultural-anthropological and ethno-psychological discourse, formed in the fields of European and world science in the 20th century. It is proved that the concepts of the educational ideal of the Ukrainian person proposed by the scientists are correlated with the theories of the representatives of the American ethnopsychological school. It is substantiated that V. Yanev's scientific research in the field of ethnopsychology, the history of Ukrainian culture and art can significantly complement modern Ukrainian humanitarianism with important scientific achievements of foreign Ukrainian studies. Conclusions. Based on the achievements of various fields of scientific knowledge – cultural and social anthropology, ethnopsychology, characterology, etc., V. Yanev developed original ethnopsychological concepts. The problem of personality in culture was developed by the scientist by identifying the peculiarities of the individuality of the Ukrainian person, as well as the characteristics of Ukrainian national psychology and national character inherent in Ukrainians. The scientific work of Volodymyr Yanev can be considered a significant theoretical basis for the formation of a cultural paradigm in the field of domestic humanitarian knowledge.
Key words: scientific work of Volodymyr Yanev, cultural anthropology, ethnopsychology, Ukrainian man, cultural studies.

Authors: Nesen Iryna 
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the article is based on the need to study the sketches of theatrical costumes in the works of Ukrainian artists of the 1920s. The research is done from the point of view of suprematism stylistics applications one of the avant-garde trends. In that context, it is considered as required to track and compare examples of its appearance in different art projects of that time. This allows determining possible sources of suprematic inspirations appearance in Ukrainian theatrical artifacts. The art learning methods were complexly applied in order to solve the given goal. Those methods are related to the concept analysis of K. Malevytch about features of constructiveness, pointlessness, and dynamics in painting, and the possibility of their application in spatial art projects. This approach creates new possibilities for the understanding of the new metaphorical nature of the theatric character, his symbiosis with avant-garde performance fraction, its common anthropology. The formation of the scenic costume as a metaphor woven from pointlessness by lines and segments combination. This is how the new reality of the stage character in the sketch arose. Its interpretation in conjunction with new text and new casual life. The novelty of the research is based on the complex selection of art projects related to the spreading of the Suprematism ideas among which theatrical practices are important. The conclusions of the article form a semantic chain of phenomena related to the development of Suprematism ideas. Due to the school of the Suprematism followers formation, a community of followers of that trend emerged in Soviet art in the early 1920s. The ideas of Suprematism were broadcast and became known as a result of their activities. Parallel and very similar by the form discoveries occurred at the subconscious level in various fields of arts. Among them, there are sketches by artists from the Berezil Theater by Anatoly Petritsky, in which Suprematic techniques were used.
