Published: January 2022

The current situation of development of the world economy presupposes intense competition in both external and internal markets. Under these conditions, it becomes more and more obvious that the growth of profits and, accordingly, further development of companies will be carried out not so much through expansion, but through improved service for customers, an increase in the range of goods and services offered, a better product quality and a decrease in production costs.The main role in optimisation of technological processes is currently played by digital transformation of production. The introduction of advanced information technologies is of great importance for all global companies, since the enhanced development of information systems results in improvement of business processes, better safety, and environmental friendliness.International studies show that the use of modern information technologies in transport industry is necessary to improve traffic safety, reduce environmental impact, increase the efficiency of the transportation process.The Russian mining and metallurgical sector, along with the oil and gas industry, makes a significant contribution to development of the country. Complex production technology, a large volume of traffic, hazardous and dangerous working conditions for personnel necessitate development of a digital environment to increase labour productivity and the volume of products.The objective of the research is to study the possibility of using information control and forecasting systems for solving technical, technological, and organisational problems of industrial railways of metallurgical plants.Based on comparative analysis, general scientific and mathematical research methods and the study of the role of information systems in digital transformation of production process, the authors suggest a methodology for creating a stochastic model for predicting the arrival of unit trains at an enterprise, and consider development trends in digital transformation of industrial transport.
Face Masks as a Factor in Eventuality of Changes in Driving Safety

Published: January 2022

During the COVID-19, pandemics or worsening virus situation, taxi and regular-route bus drivers are recommended to work in medical masks. However, the quantitative and qualitative influence of wearing protective face masks on safety of driving vehicles has not been previously studied. Therefore, this became the objective of preliminary studies to determine the specifics of the influence of a face protective mask on the change in psychophysiological qualities of a car driver as a factor in safety eventuality under urban traffic conditions.The method of an open-ended survey of 108 healthy adult drivers was used to obtain a quantitative subjective assessment of the effect of face masks on changing driving safety conditions and a comfortable emotional state while driving. A qualitative analysis of assessment of the level of psychophysiological qualities of drivers wearing and not wearing a face mask was carried out using Meleti hardware-software complex.A sharp decrease in neuropsychic functions with a simultaneous increase in quality of thinking and visual analysis of the traffic situation was revealed regarding the drivers wearing a face protective mask compared to those driving without a mask while the level of psychomotor reaction remains unchanged regardless of the gender of the driver.The subjective assessment of survey participants of the effect of a face mask on professionally important, psychophysiological characteristics of drivers revealed a significant (41,7 %) or insignificant (20,4 %) decrease in reaction, while 38 % of drivers did not notice significant changes in driving because of the effect of the mask.Based on these results, it is assumed that the face mask may serve as a predictor of a road pre-accident situation.To assess the effect of the face mask on the driver, a coefficient of eventuality of reducing road safety is proposed. It is recommended to use it as an additional factor in a situational pandemic environment when developing recommendations for the use of face masks for car and bus drivers, and when analysing the causes of road accidents.

Published: January 2022

Currently, Russian international road transport carriers do not have sufficient potential to successfully compete with their foreign partners. The main reasons for this are significant deterioration of the car fleet and its non-compliance to modern environmental requirements, lack of own funds for timely renovation and development of the motor transport fleet, as well as systemic lag in development of transportation technologies and their logistics support.The objective of the article is to substantiate the choice of rational measures to solve the problem of expanded reproduction of car fleet used in international road haulage. The methodology used in preparation of the article is based on the use of general scientific methods in combination with special methods, including the analysis of statistical data on international road haulage, a comparative analysis of the state of the car fleet of Russian carriers, considering the basic conditions and operational characteristics, classification of the fleet of trucks based on typification of their operational characteristics with subsequent subdivision of this fleet into three main groups, an overview analysis and benchmarking of foreign operating experience and future development of car fleet, an analysis of the economic and legal possibilities of raising funds for renewal of car fleet.The article examines and studies: a) urgency of solving the problem of renewal and expansion of the car fleet used by Russian carriers in international road transportation; b) foreign experience and trends in development of fleet used for international haulage; c) the main directions of providing economic opportunities for transition to expanded renewal of vehicles; d) analysis of the legal possibilities of providing public support for expanded reproduction of the motor transport fleet of Russian international road carriers including through the use of public-private partnerships.Based on the results of the study, proposals have been developed aimed at ensuring renewal and expansion of car fleet and increasing the efficiency of international road haulage operations.
Public Passenger Transport Logistics in the Context of Digital Transformation of Transportation Services Organisation Systems
Authors: Akimov A. V. , Bubnova G. V. 
Published: January 2022

Transport route specification models are used to analyse the need for combined passenger transportation on popular routes in a large urban agglomeration. The problem of managing the travel chains of passengers using public transport (PT) is revealed with the focus on the complexity of applying the principle of multimodality on the route network used by population due to the mismatch of the schemes of transport and users’ routes.The study of the logistics of passenger transportation with PT introduces the concept of «public transport user (PTU)» which has a variable status relative to the flows of people, pedestrians, passengers, and transport vehicles. The description of the registers of the main parameters of the routes under study serves to create their digital twins.To manage the travel chains of PTUs, identify related sections of transport routes, it is proposed to highlight within the passenger flow the currents of the same profile which include PTUs that have common transport behaviour.Models and algorithms of network proximity to transport infrastructure objects, visualisation of digital traces of PTUs and the results of comparing the used and the best route options according to the modelled parameters allow to identify behavioural profiles of PTUs, as well as regulators managing the travel chains.
Transport System of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia): Analysis of the State and Development Challenges
Authors: Poleshkina I. O. 
Published: January 2022

The transport accessibility of the Arctic zone is of strategic interest for Russia from the point of view of the possibility of mineral exploration and ensuring further systemic development of this part of the national territory.The objective of the study is to carry out a spatial analysis of the transport system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), to identify its topological properties and restrictions that impede providing sufficient logistics services. Based on the method of spatial analysis, the conducted study of the state of the transport system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) allowed to assess transport provision within its territory for three types of transportation: transport provision of internal regional (local) transportation, transport provision of accessibility (entry and exit) of the territory of the region, and transport provision of transit transportation across the region.The study showed that air transport is the main mode for passenger transportation, while seasonal water and winter road transportation are the main modes of freight haulage.The regions of Yakutia with access to traffic arteries and isolated from them have been identified. Calculations based on the Engel’s coefficient allowed to proceed with a mathematical assessment of the transport system of the region, which indicates its insufficient development due to the lack of year-round transportation routes in the areas of the Far North and the Arctic zone. The transport infrastructure of this part of the region are represented by seasonal winter roads and waterways, which prevents from assessing their general year-round potential. For its assessment, it is necessary to consider seasonal availability of each individual section of the network.
The Islamic Concept of Happiness: Psychological Analysis
Authors: Pavlova O. S. 
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the Islamic concept of happiness from the standpoint of psychological science. Two approaches to the understanding of happiness, originating in Antiquity, are considered: hedonistic and eudemonistic; the cultural specifi city of happiness is investigated through the prism of ethnocultural values. It outlines the views on psychological health and well-being in Islam, as well as the views on social and individual predictors of happiness of medieval and modern Muslim scholars. The author concludes that the concept of happiness and the idea of it has its own specifi city in diff erent cultures. The concept of happiness among Muslims is directly related to their religious values and worldview, as well as to the peculiarities of ethnic culture. Since Muslim communities are collectivist, the happiness of an individual is seen as closely related to the public good. For a Muslim, the path to happiness is associated with improving his character and the formation of moral values and behavior. Modern Psychology and Psychotherapy are developing the ideas about moral psychology and the ways of its formation as the basis for the psychological wellbeing of an individual.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Kidney sparing surgery like endoscopic resection and distal ureterectomy has been recently proposed as alternative surgical options to manage distal Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer. This study aims to compare the surgical, oncological and functional outcomes of distal ureterectomy and Radical Nephroureterectomy for distal Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.
Methods and Material: Out of 57 patients with Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma treated surgically at a single institution between 2010 and 2016, nineteen patients had distal Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma. A retrospective review was performed on these 19 patients (11 Radical Nephroureterectomy and 8 distal ureterectomy). Radical Nephroureterectomy was performed using an open or laparoscopic approach (n= 4 and 7 respectively). All Distal Ureterectomy patients were performed via an open extra-peritoneal Gibson incision. Pelvic lymphadenectomy and Subsequent ureteroneocystostomy in the Distal Ureterectomy group was performed directly and was augmented by psoas hitch or using boari flap reconstruction. Demographic, clinical features and post-operative outcomes were compared between the Radical Nephroureterectomy and Distal Ureterectomy groups.
Results: There was a trend towards shorter mean duration of surgery (238±34 vs. 286 ±90 min) and length of hospital stay (LOS) (7.6±2.8 vs. 17.3±20.7 days) in the Distal Ureterectomy group compared to the Radical Nephroureterectomy group (P=NS). Peri-operative Complication of Clavien grade 1-2 was seen in 4(33.33%) Radical Nephroureterectomy and 3 (37.5%) Distal Ureterectomy cases respectively. All patients had high grade Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma with equivalent pTNM staging in both groups with clear surgical margins. Immediate post-operative renal function improvement was statistically significant in the Distal Ureterectomy group (Radical Nephroureterectomy 2.27±5.93 vs 10.86±9.92 Distal Ureterectomy, p=0.034). Three out of 11 Radical Nephroureterectomy group patients required dialysis.
Conclusions: Local recurrences were similar after Distal Ureterectomy and Radical Nephroureterectomy with equivalent pathological outcomes in distal Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma. There was a clear trend towards shorter hospital stay and better renal function preservation in favor of Distal Ureterectomy with fewer patients requiring dialysis.

Annotation. Exacerbation and aggravation of psoriasis increases the chances of neurosis, depression, can significantly impair mental health through social stigma and leads to social isolation and maladaptation, a significant reduction in quality of life. Studying this problem from the standpoint of comparative assessment of the distribution of character accentuations in patients with different dermatoses can provide insight into how a certain level of adequacy of psychological adaptive response is associated with organic pathological process or genetically existing expression of certain traits. The aim of the study was to found the features of indicators of expression and features of accentuated personality traits in men with psoriasis without taking into account somatotype and in representatives of meso- and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes. Men aged 22 to 35 years, patients with psoriasis (n=100, including 32 with mild and 68 with severe course) at the Department of Skin and Venereal Diseases with a course of postgraduate education National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya and Military Medical Clinical Center of the Central Region, conducted an anthropometric survey by V. V. Bunak Estimation of the expression and features of accentuated personality traits made according to G. Shmishek The reliability of the difference between the values between the independent quantitative values was determined using the U-Mann-Whitney test. In healthy subjects, taking into account and without taking into account the somatotype, it is seen that the type of physique did not significantly affect the severity of individual traits and their combinations in this group of people. With the increase in the course of psoriasis among subjects without somatotype, there is a decrease in the percentage of persons with hyperthymic and demonstrative and an increase – with emotional, pedantic, anxious, cyclothymic, excitable, dysthymic and exalted type of character accentuation; among patients of mesomorphic somatotype there is a decrease in the percentage of people with stuck and demonstrative and an increase – with emotional, pedantic, anxious, cyclothymic, excitable, dysthymic and exalted type of character accentuation; among patients of endo-mesomorphic somatotype there is a decrease in the percentage of people with hypertension and an increase – with stuck, demonstrative and excitable type of character accentuation. All this maintains a pathologically high level of affective tension, which disrupts the autonomic balance in the body, can be a pathogenic factor in the development of psychosomatic illness and leads to ineffective treatment of psoriasis.

Published: January 2022

Background: Due to the higher risk of Â pain in preterm infants, pain management is important for such infants. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of kangaroo care on the severity of pain and physiological parameters after heel-stick in preterm infants. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective and randomized controlled cross-over study. Twenty preterm infants allocated into an intervention (30 minutes of kangaroo care before and throughout heel-stick) and a control condition (standard incubator care during heel-stick). The severity of pain and the physiological parameters (heart rate and oxygen saturation) were collected after the heel-stick procedure. Results: The pain mean scores in the intervention and control conditions were respectively 4.9 (SD=2.91) and 11.00 (SD=4.21) and a significant difference was found between the two conditions regarding the pain score 30 seconds after the heel-stick [t=5.33, p<0.001]. Moreover, a significant difference between the two conditions concerning the infants' heart rate (F=3.73, p<0.0001) and oxygen saturation (F=1.84, p<0.0001) was demonstrated during the three study periods. Conclusion: In order to relieve the preterm infants' pain and prevent quick acceleration and deceleration of heart rate and oxygen saturation in the intervention condition, the intervention is recommended to be done in a nursery.

Published: January 2022

Background:Â In this survey we studied theÂ incidence and clinicalÂ presentations of Â galactosemia in Fars province, in southÂ west of Iran.Â Galactosemia is a rare genetic metabolic disorderÂ ofgalactose.Â ItsÂ metabolism can beÂ performedÂ through 3 pathways.Â AlthoughÂ enzymesÂ deficiencyof each of themÂ can lead to galactose accumulation in plasma, the term galactosemiaÂ is specifically used forÂ UDP-galactose uridyl transferaseÂ (GALT)Â deficiency.Â Classical galactosemia (G/G)Â is mostly manifested byÂ poor growth, irritability, lethargy, vomiting,Â poor feeding,Â andÂ jaundice.
Material and method:Â 337000 newborns were screened for galactosemia by measuring total galactose level.Â Blood samplesÂ were collected from the heel on the Gauthriepaper,Â and thencalorimetric test with enzyme was performed to determine total galactose level.Â BloodÂ galactoselevel below 4mg/dlÂ wasÂ consideredÂ asÂ normal and it was repeated if it was more than 4mg/dl in the first stage. The testÂ wasÂ consideredÂ asÂ abnormal if it was more than 5mg/dl,Â then blood samples wereÂ collected on filter paper and dried for 3-4 hours at room temperature and shipped frozen to laboratory for detection of GALT activity and galactose and galactose-1-phosphate.
Results:Â FromÂ those whoÂ were gone for screening,Â 105 newborns had total galactose level more than 5mg/dl,Â among them,Â 37 patients had galactose level more than 15Â mg/dl.Â Overall 12 cases were considered as classic galactosemia with an incidence rate of 1/28000,Â in Fars province.
Conclusion:Â Although all of our patients were symptomatic and were admittedÂ byhyperbilirubinemiaÂ before receiving the results,Â neonatal screening had an important role in the early diagnosis and management of this disease.
