Academician of medicine Z.V. Ermolyeva and the Department of Microbiology of the Central Institute for Advanced Medical Training: the main directions of scientific research in the early 1970s

The very difficult geopolitical situation of recent years has once again confirmed the need for our state to focus on its internal and self-sufficient development in its development. The story of the coronavirus pandemic that swept the whole world has shown a fairly high level of domestic virology, and microbiology in general. But, undoubtedly, we are still far from the Soviet level of science development today. In this regard, it seems advisable to pay attention to the generalization of the Soviet experience in the development of biomedical sciences. We have made an attempt to analyze the development of Soviet microbiology through an analysis of the scientific and organizational activities of the domestic scientist, Academician of Medicine Zinaida Vissarionovna Ermolyeva, carried out by her at the Department of Microbiology of the Central Institute of Advanced Medical Training in the first half of the 1970s. The source base of the publication was unpublished documents of the federal archives (the Russian State Archive of Scientific and Technical Documentation and the Russian State Archive of Economics), most of which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The article examines the scientific activity of Z.V. Ermolyeva herself, as well as those research areas that were developed by teachers and research staff of the department headed by her.

FORMATION OF INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS IN THECONDITIONS OF UKRAINE'S INTEGRATION INTO THE EUROPEAN HIGHEREDUCATION COMMUNITY

The article summarizes the results of scientific work and highlights the experience and approaches to the formation of interpersonal communication skills in the context of Ukraine’s integration into the European higher education community. It is stated that the European integration progress of Ukraine is accompanied by positive changes in the socio-economic development of society and the introduction of innovative changes in the field of higher education, which are aimed at successful political, legal, economic, and educational integration into the European space. It is noted that since 2005, Ukraine has been participating in the Bologna process, i.e. an international initiative aimed at reforming and unifying higher education in the countries of the European area of higher education. It is found that the alignment of the national system of higher education with European and world standards involves the transition to the system of competence education. The classification of integrated characteristics of the quality of training of education seekers and the results of their training, i.e. competencies, is given. It is pointed out that one of the key positions among “soft” skills is occupied by communicative competence, which requires the formation of interpersonal communication skills. The categories of theories of interpersonal communication are defined and characterized. A model of effective interpersonal communication is proposed, which provides for the achievement of individual group and organizational results thanks to a properly adjusted process of filtering perception and cognitive selection, as well as taking into account the situational characteristics of communication. A taxonomy of interpersonal communication skills is given. It is noted that training students of higher education in effective interpersonal communication skills requires teachers with relevant knowledge, as well as guidance and instruction in learning to develop and improve these skills. It is substantiated that for the successful formation of interpersonal communication skills in higher education students of Ukraine, it is necessary to study the experience and implement the practices of the European educational space. Prospective directions for further scientific research on the formation of interpersonal communication skills among students of higher education are outlined.

Implementation of a Digital Model of Thermal Characteristics Based on the Temperature Field

Introduction. Computer modeling allows engineers to make valid design decisions by accurately assessing the thermal characteristics of design objects. The implementation of digital twin technology in the process of designing technical facilities is the current direction of scientific research and development. To do this, it is necessary to develop computer models whose accuracy meets the requirements for digital twins. However, the scientific literature does not widely present the results of research aimed at implementing digital twin technology in the design process. The general issues related to the use of digital twins in various industries are mainly considered. Therefore, the objective of this study was the development of a digital model and a comparative analysis of the accuracy of calculations of thermal characteristics of the design object.Materials and Methods. The main tool for conducting the research was the methodology proposed by the authors for developing a computer model of thermal characteristics for the implementation of digital twin technology. The numerical solution was implemented through constructing a thermal model for calculating the temperature field based on the finite element method in the ANSYS engineering analysis system from ANSYS, Inc. (USA). For the analytical solution, a computer model of thermal characteristics developed on the basis of the state-space method, implemented in the ANSYS Twin Builder module, was used. The state-space model was matched to the behavior of the original thermal model through approximating the transfer function to the stepwise response of the thermal load using the time domain vector approximation method. Verification of the constructed analytical model was carried out in the engineering calculation system MATLAB from the MathWorks company (USA). The research was carried out for a 400V machine model manufactured by NPO “Stankostroenie” LLC, Sterlitamak (Russia).Results. The developed digital model makes it possible to calculate the thermal characteristics of the design object with high accuracy. The results of the comparative analysis showed a high degree of correspondence between the values of thermal characteristics obtained using the proposed digital model and the results of numerical simulation. The maximum error in calculating thermal characteristics did not exceed 0.1ºC.Discussion and Conclusion. Computer modeling that combines numerical calculation methods and a scientific approach based on digital twin technology, provides obtaining the result as close as possible to the results of experiments. The digital model proposed in the study is an effective solution, since it provides performing calculations to evaluate thermal characteristics in real time, which is one of the most important requirements for the implementation of digital twin technology.

Anticancer properties of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives (literature review)

Cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Statistical data show that more than 130,000 people in Ukraine receive this diagnosis as a sentence every year. Cancer can affect any organ and eventually the whole body. In most cases, cancer is a tumor affecting epithelial, mucous, muscle, fat, and bone tissues. Also, processes related to malignant formations can occur in the blood and lymph. The main mechanism that triggers the process of formation of neoplasms is a violation of growth and, accordingly, cell division. They begin to grow uncontrollably, multiply, and can also migrate, spreading to nearby tissue structures, and later degenerate into atypical (malignant) ones. Cancer is one of the most life-threatening diseases. Literature data show that more than 90 % of cancer patients die due to chronic metastases. Cancer therapy involves the use of drugs that block the growth and spread of cancer cells by affecting certain molecular structures involved in the growth, progression, and spread of cancer. The diversity of the use of means for cancer therapy, namely, hormone therapy, the use of angiogenesis inhibitors and apoptosis inducers, has provided scientists with various options for finding effective means to fight this disease. Aim. The aim of the work is the analysis and systematization of new data on the anticancer activity of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives and the selection of the most promising directions for further scientific research based on the results of the analysis. Materials and methods. The study employed various methods, including analysis, information search, bibliosemantic analysis, descriptive techniques, and generalization. Research materials primarily comprised literary sources containing information on the promising array of new biologically active compounds, particularly 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, known for their targeted anticancer properties. Results. A literature search was carried out, 1,2,4-triazole derivatives with antitumor activity were analysed, characterized and summarized. Based on the study of available information and conducting an information and patent search, it was established that the market of Ukraine is insufficiently saturated with 1,2,4-triazole-containing drugs with anticancer activity of domestic production. It was determined that the development of new effective drugs based on 1,2,4-triazole and potential drugs with clearly directed anticancer activity requires a systematic approach both in conducting synthetic tests and screening new compounds for further structural optimization of molecules. Conclusions. The analysis of scientific literature in recent years devoted to the study of the anticancer activity of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives convincingly proves the prospect of further research in this direction. Numerous publications indicate the possibility of constant improvement of molecules with regard to the presence of anticancer activity. Domestic and foreign authors have clearly and argumentatively proven the perspective of the scientific direction for the creation of new original drugs to combat various oncopathologies.

The Politics of Expertise in Genomics Policy and Law

Genomics and biotechnology have generated controversy for decades, about the moral limits of tinkering with and commodifying life, the boundary between nature and technology, the respectful treatment of research participants, and the proper evaluation of emerging technologies. Socio-legal and science and technology studies scholars have demonstrated how the resolution of these questions has serious implications for both science and the law, including the appropriate conduct and direction of scientific research and the construction of legal categories and rights. This article demonstrates that these conflicts also have profound impacts on the politics of science and technology, and particularly approaches to relevant knowledge and expertise. Humanities, social scientific, legal, and lay knowledge asserted themselves through the establishment of human genetics research and battles over the ownership of biological materials and data. However, US political culture—which favors technical and market knowledge—constrained their authority. Cross-national comparison highlights this finding, as other jurisdictions have been more inclusive in their approaches to science and technology governance.

Emphasis is placed on the fact that research results will contribute to the creation of a new generation of economic strategies based on the principles of quantum economics, and will open up new horizons for the growth and development of the world market.

The epistemology-oriented conceptual model of cognitive-semantic universals in related languages

The analytical study of the processes of thinking and awareness of reality is positioned as an actualized psychological direction in linguistics, which arose as a result of the logical transformation of traditional logicism and formalism in the course of the development of speech activity. The purpose of the article is to study the epistemologically oriented conceptual model of cognitive-semantic universals in related languages. In the course of the study, it was found that the previous historical stage was characterized by ignoring the influence of psychophysiological aspects. It has been determined that in the process of transformation the phenomenon of language is interpreted as a reflection of the psychological concept and spiritual activity. It is proved that the cognitive paradigm made it possible to explain the thinking processes that occur during the production of speech with the advent of the cognitive paradigm in linguistics. It is suggested that from a universal point of view, any conceptual area can be studied with the help of elementary concepts. The study has shown that from the standpoint of cognitive grammar, grammatical categories have corresponding prototypical structures. The sphere of conceptual functionality of modern cognitive semantics is distinguished. The cognitive-semantic universality of the basic main category is stated. It is proved that the epistemologically oriented conceptual model of cognitive-semantic universals in related languages is represented by such processes in the lexical composition of a word as generalization (transition from the concrete to the abstract general), narrowing (dynamics from the abstract to the specialized), degradation (depreciation) and polarization (opposition). Promising directions for further scientific research on the subject of the study are actualized, namely, conducting cognitive research that accurately explains the universal conceptual processes occurring in semantics.

Scientific and practical justification of the use of non-traditional raw materials in the technology of pancakes for dietary nutrition

Today, diseases that cause intolerance to food ingredients in the composition of traditional food products are spreading rapidly in the civilized world. Therefore, the current direction of scientific research is the scientific and practical substantiation of the technologies of food products with multifunctional properties, which will ensure complete nutrition of the most vulnerable categories of society – with intolerance to gluten, milk proteins, and egg white, lactase deficiency, insulin resistance, and prediabetic conditions, etc. The selection of non-traditional raw materials was carried out, and the pancake recipe based on non-traditional raw materials was scientifically substantiated. The modification was done by replacing the composition of the recipe with wheat flour of the highest grade with gluten-free types, such as flour of green banana and teff. It is possible to replace high-grade flour in the recipe of pancakes with a mixture of gluten-free types of flour – green banana and teff in the ratio of 70:30. The expediency of adding tapioca starch to the composition of gluten-free pancakes in the amount of 20 % of the flour mass, which will ensure the formation of the structure of the finished products – the porosity index of products with the addition of tapioca starch was on average 52 %, which was 4 % higher than the similar indicator of the control sample based on wheat flour of the highest grade. It was established that replacing chicken eggs with chickpea aquafaba and cow's milk with coconut drink has no significant effect on pancake dough's structural and mechanical properties. A recipe has been developed, and technological parameters for the production of pancakes based on non-traditional raw materials for dietary nutrition have been established. It was established that the index of elasticity of the new type of pancake slightly differed from the control sample based on wheat flour of the highest grade. The height of the product after baking was somewhat (on average by 1.0 %) lower than the control sample, which is explained by the poorer structure-forming properties of gluten-free raw ingredients. The organoleptic indicators of a new type of pancakes were evaluated, proving the proposed solutions' expediency and effectiveness.

SUBJECT-OBJECT DIRECTION OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION PROBLEMS: METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF FORMULATION AND WAYS TO SOLVE THEM

The article actualizes the methodological problem of specifying the directions of scientific researches in the specialty «Public Administration and Governance» in the third year of higher education. The relevant problem is considered through the prism of the absence of an officially approved standard of higher education at the educational and scientific level in the relevant specialty. Attention is drawn to the fact that the organization of scientific researches in the field of knowledge «Public Administration and Governance», in contrast to the researches carried out within the field of science «Public Administration» are carried out by applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy without ensuring compliance of the content of qualification work with any directions of scientific research institutionalized at the state level. The article substantiates the fundamental difference between the methodological support of the applicant's choice of a scientific degree of subject-object direction of scientific research which is carried out in the field of knowledge «Public Administration and Governance» and in the field of science «Public Administration». Attention is drawn to the fact of absence of officially institutionalized at the state level for the field of knowledge «Public Administration and Governance» directions of organization of scientific research becomes the reason for actualization of risks of incorrect choice by the applicant for the degree «Doctor of Philosophy» of the focus of his scientific research. In contrast, a researcher who prepares a qualification work within the field of science «Public Administration», for example, the applicant for a doctoral degree in public administration, despite their conceptual maturity as a scientist, has a completely exhaustive list of research areas within the officially approved specialty passports. It is proposed to solve the problem of inconsistency of the researcher's previous research experience with the level of methodological support for the choice of the subject-object direction of scientific research through the prism of expanding (changing) the list of specialties within the field of knowledge «Public Administration and Management» and/or providing for separate specializations within the existing specialty. On the one hand, such a step, will allow to order the directions of scientific researches in accordance with the focus of attention of a particular field of knowledge, and on the other hand, it will contribute to improving of the quality of preparation and conducting of scientific research. The indirect result of expanding (changing) the list of specialties within the field of knowledge «Public Administration and Governance» may be its further development, for example, in the direction of ensuring correlation with the field of science «Public Administration».

Methods of processing the stomachs of cattle

Currently, the meat industry has accumulated considerable experience in the efficient processing of cattle byproducts. But the share of their use for food purposes remains low. This concerns, first of all, the treatment of the multicameral stomach of cattle. The future direction of scientific research is the use of these by-products in full. This article discusses the technological processes of processing by-products of cattle (tripe and reticulated tripe) using waste from the dairy industry. One of the concrete and effective ways to solve the problem is to carry out the processes of biotechnological processing of cattle. To reduce the time of heat treatment and eliminate the specific odor characteristic of the scar, and to reduce the mechanical strength, a technology for processing cattle rumen with whey is proposed. The nutritional value and consumer properties of cattle by-products (rumen, reticulated rumen) have been investigated as a source of food raw materials, the prospects of use are assessed. In this work, the possibility of treating the scar of cattle with serum was investigated. Studies of the physico-chemical composition and biological value of by-products have shown a high content of proteins and minerals, amino acids in the abdominal and retina. A solution of whey is recommended for softening and cleansing the rumen of cattle and reticulated cattle. Processing of collagen-containing raw materials with biologically active substances using whey microorganisms should be recognized as one of the promising areas.
