The personnel support of the long-turn care system in the Russian Federation

In Russia, over the past few years, long-term care system is developing as pilot project. Its main goal is to maintain habitual lifestyle of citizens of retirement age and the disabled who have functional impairments and who need help in household chores, sanitary hygienic procedures performance, medications intake, medical procedures execution and and physician prescriptions following in general. According to approved standard model of long-term care main sources of long-term care services are social security system, health care system, relatives and friends of service addressees. However, full-fledged and systemic implementation of program requires not only definition of these components, but also establishment of mechanism of interaction between them. For this, in most cases, elimination of normative inconsistencies impeding care and consideration of interests of elder citizens and the disabled is required. At the same time, it is necessary to foresee personnel staffing for long-term care, since this area is labor-intensive and is based on people interaction, model of person-to-person care. The problems with personnel staffing in medical and social sphere were present earlier, prior to development of long-term care system and without their elimination it is impossible to implement program in accordance with approved road-map. The training of medical specialists to working with older people, training of junior medical personnel to perform sanitary hygienic and medical procedures, provision with social and medical personnel rural areas are among tasks to be implemented. The article presents evaluation of compliance of components of long-term care system with program tasks, including medical personnel staffing and compliance of standards in force with interests of citizens.

Meta analysis of the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle

Mastitis, which is defined as the inflammation of mammary tissue caused by infectious agents such as bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses, is considered to be one of the most important problems of dairy enterprises due to reduced milk yield and milk quality. Therefore, studies on mastitis have been continuous from past to present. The presence of too many studies conducted in all around the world in order to estimate the prevalence of mastitis and to determine the factors affecting the disease has necessitated systematic review or meta-analysis studies on this subject. In this study, it was aimed to perform the meta-analysis for the prevalence of cow and udder quarter-based subclinical mastitis in 193 studies conducted around the world, and to determine the effects of some factors on the prevalence of subclinical mastitis using subgroup and meta-regression methods. Because high heterogeneity was detected between studies in the analysis, the random effects model (Der Simonian-Laird method) (Q=15149.869, df=188, p<0.001, I2=98.759; Q=72142.706; df=174, p<0.001; I2=99.774) was used in this study. The publication biases in the study samples were determined by the use of Egger's linear regression test, the Begg and Mazumdar rank correlation test and funnel plots. As a result of the study, the common prevalence of subclinical mastitis in cow and udder quarter-based studies were calculated as 0.46 (95% CI: 0.43-0.48) and 0.32 (95% CI: 0.30-0.34) respectively. The meta-analysis conducted in this study has enabled the elimination of inconsistencies in the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in individual studies conducted around the world, and has provided a stronger and more precise estimate.

Studying the issue of calculations ambiguity at determining the amount of loaded cargo

A unified algorithm for calculating the amount of loaded cargo is provided in the paper. The algorithm checks the vessel readiness to carry out survey work, on the basis of which further operations or the elimination of inconsistencies that have arisen, are proposed. Attention is paid in detail to the measurements carried out during the draft survey, necessary for calculating the average draft of the vessel. The error value is given as a percentage of the deadweight of the vessel, depending on the measured source. The necessary conditions for the issuance of a permit by a surveyor to carry out loading and unloading operations on a ship after checking the conformity of the results obtained with the declared data are defined in the paper. The “Bow-and-stern Sediment diagram” is investigated as a method intended for approximate, but at the same time fast, non-commercial calculation. It is proved that the calculation of the vessel displacement based on this diagram leads to a significant error resulting from a fundamental misunderstanding of the draft survey process and its purpose. The most common mistakes at using ship’s documents, as well as the formulas use, are discussed in the paper. The ways of reducing inaccuracies in calculations are determined. It’s substantiated in the paper that the use of the “average draft” and “river” formulas cannot be carried out for all types of vessels due to their possible specific design features, in particular, additional grades of deepening and the presence of hull bending. The specifics of the ship’s register documents are given. The values of errors are also analyzed if there are only register documents on the ship. It’s proved in the paper that the proposed unified algorithm for calculating the amount of loaded cargo is quite accurate compared to other methods considered.

Versions of Social Constructivism and Perspectives of Neo-Constructivism in the Theory of International Relations

Social constructivism in the international relations theory (IRT) is the youngest paradigm, which, together with neorealism and neoliberalism, is one of the three most popular theoretical patterns among international specialists. This paradigm explains global transformations and regional noticeable changes by studying the social construction of international reality. Key concepts in constructivism are identity, which shapes the interests of international actors, and intersubjectivity in cross-border relations. Constructivism in IRT considers norms as a factor that constitutes the role and standards of behavior that influence the identity and choice of participants in the global political process. The understanding of norms changes over time, which causes the instability of international relations. However, anarchy in international relations for constructivists is not inevitable; instead it depends on different cultures and practices. The main variants of the classification of social constructivism in IRT are considered. Leading reviewers, as a rule, divide the constructivists into three conditional groups, separately mentioning the Copenhagen School. The first group, “neoclassical constructivism”, according to John Ruggie, included followers of Durkheim and Weber. The second group, “postmodern constructivism”, had roots in Nietzsche’s irrationalism and Foucault’s poststructuralism. The third group, “naturalistic constructivism”, rejected necessity of choosing between internal and external interpretations of social action and social order. Emanuel Adler identified groups of “neoclassicists”, “linguistic modernists” and “supporters of compromise synthesis” among the constructivists. Branching out in several directions, constructivism was very popular in IRT in the first decade of the 20th century, but in the last decade it lost a significant part of its supporters in the struggle with other theories for influence in the discipline. That is why the supporters of the development of the science of international relations at the expense of its further sociologization intensified attempts to renew constructivism. Efforts are being made to develop social constructivism due to the introduction of IRT based on relationalism, practice theory and actor-network theory, which David McCourt tries to use in the book “The New Constructivism in International Relations Theory”. The supporters of a new constructivism in IRT prefer to see the improvements in the appearance of a number of practical constructivist empirical studies tangential to the practice theory, among which the most recent books by Mark Raymond, Mark Shirk and Ayşe Zarakol, working mainly in the genre of historical sociology. The work of neoconstructivist enthusiasts deserves the attention of IRT specialists and the subsequent restrained demand of the public, because it needs the elimination of methodological inconsistencies and reinforcement with serious empirical data from related disciplines.

Анализ и оценка кадровых рисков научно-педагогических работников в образовательной организации высшего образования

The article deals with the challenges of building of HR capacity in higher education institutions aimed at minimizing HR risks in conditions of uncertainty of regulations for HEIs scientific and pedagogical staff. Assessment of staffing for the educational programs implemented at Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Korolev (Samara University) by university schools and integrated training areas allowed to identify inconsistencies between the qualification of permanent scientific and pedagogical staff (SPS) and the requirements of regulatory legal acts as well as to offer recommendations for elimination of such inconsistencies. The analysis of the identified discrepancies served as the basis for the identification and classification of substantial and potential HR risks that come with scientific and pedagogical staff. Using the expert assessment method, the significance and probability of occurrence of such risks have been assessed. At the final stage of the study, we provided methodological recommendations for HR risk management with due regard to the Unified Code of Ethics in force and absence of professional standards “Teacher Professional Training, Vocational Education and Continuing Professional Education”. Measures to prevent and minimize HR risks in higher education include, in particular, the development of advanced training and retraining programs, annual monitoring of staffing, development of intra-university regulations governing the work of higher-education teaching personnel by position.

Конструкторське проектування технічних систем

The psychology of designer thinking affects the design and construction of technical systems. Her knowledge and ability to take into account when creating new technical systems and facilities will improve the quality of the design of the final product.When creating a new product, the designer must come as close as possible to the ideal product model. At the same time, technical contradictions often arise. The elimination of technical inconsistencies is some intersection of many characteristics that are imposed according to the requirements of the product. In fact, it is a search for the optimum in the multidimensional space of characteristics.The starting point for design activities is the social order - the need to create certain objects, caused either by "gaps" in the practice of their manufacture, or competition, or the needs of social practice. The product of design activities, in contrast to design, is expressed in a special symbolic form - in the form of texts, drawings, graphs, calculations, models in computer memory, etc. The result of design activities must be materialized in the form of a prototype, which specifies the calculations, design and technical characteristics of the designed technical system, given in the project.The design process is conducted in conditions of information deficit (uncertainty). The work describes the information deficit as metameric situations (division of the situation into similar or almost identical events or perceptions).Uncertainty in the design process is eliminated through creative activities to perform iterative procedures. The number of cycles of iterative procedures depends on the degree of uncertainty of the initial statement of the problem, its complexity, experience and qualifications of the designer, the required accuracy of the solution.Psychological factors of creative activity affect the design process and must be taken into account. Creative abilities are influenced by heredity, the natural and social environment, scientific and technical training, the degree of development of imagination, the ability to think figuratively and other factors.Ineffective strategies and syndromes (barriers) also impose limitations on the creative thinking of the designer

Cutting Through the "Gray Area": An Analysis of the IBC Regulatory Oversight of Applications of CRISPR Technology in Clinical Research.

The advent of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology has quickly ushered in a new era of gene editing and offered exciting potential for the development of biomedical products. While the breadth of applications for CRISPR encompasses nearly the entire field of medical science, its utilization to produce next-generation CAR T cells stands to benefit most substantially in the short-term. These novel therapeutics are now beginning to enter the clinical trial phase of the numerous approval pipelines, but does the existing regulatory framework have the capability to adequately review and approve the initiation of these new age research endeavors in the clinical setting? This analysis will illuminate the similarity and differences between CRISPR developed interventions and existing techniques used to produce biomedical products from a regulatory perspective in the United States. Further, the "gray area" surrounding CRISPR regulatory oversight will be explored and recommendations will be made to facilitate the elimination of inconsistencies that currently exist in the assessment of this work prior to the initiation of associated clinical trials.

Global decision-making system with dynamically generated clusters

This paper discusses the issues related to the process of global decision-making on the basis of knowledge which is stored in a dispersed form (several local knowledge bases or classifiers). In the paper a decision-making system is described. In this system, the classification process of the test object can be divided into several steps. In the first step, we investigate how particular classifiers classify a test object. We describe this using probability vectors over decision classes. We cluster classifiers with respect to similarities of the probability vectors. For every cluster, we find a kind of combined information. Finally, we classify the given test object by voting among clusters, using the combined information from each of clusters.The paper proposes a new approach to the organization of the structure of a decision-making system, which operates on the basis of dispersed knowledge. In the presented system, the classifiers are combined into groups called clusters in a dynamic way. We seek to designate groups of classifiers that classify the test object in a similar manner. The groups of classifiers are not disjoint sets. We use overlapping clusters because this is a more suitable representation of classification compatibility. It is assumed that, if the classifier classifies the test object in an ambiguous way, it should belong to several clusters. Then, a process of the elimination of inconsistencies in the knowledge is implemented in the created groups. Global decisions are made by using one of the methods for the analysis of conflicts.

The consensus model for regulation of APRNs: Implications for nurse practitioners

To examine the Consensus Model for APRN Regulation as a proposed solution to simplify and unify regulation of advanced nursing practice with respect to licensure, certification, accreditation, and educational standards. Policy statements and reports issued by national organizations of nursing professionals and discussion within the scholarly literature provided an overview of regulatory differences among the 50 U.S. states, their impacts on advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) practice, and discussion of the Consensus Model as a potential solution. Major organizations of nursing professionals have endorsed the Consensus Model, indicating the importance of this significant step toward standards and consistent quality in APRN education and practice. Diverse regulatory criteria, such as variable accreditation standards, disparate certification and licensing requirements, inconsistent population foci, and scopes of practice, represent barriers to optimized APRN function within today's complex healthcare system and, ultimately, reduced access to safe, quality care for patients. The Consensus Model for APRN Regulation promises to unify APRN education, practice, and licensure, promoting greater mobility among nursing professionals. Elimination of inconsistencies in APRN licensure, education, certification, and accreditation requirements will promote greater value and mobility for the APRN within the healthcare system.

A Novel Method for Elimination of Inconsistencies in Ordinal Classification with Monotonicity Constraints

In order to handle inconsistencies in ordinal and monotonic information systems, several relaxed versions of the Dominance-based Rough Set Approach DRSA have been proposed, e.g., VC-DRSA. These versions use special consistency measures to admit some inconsistent objects in the lower approximations. The minimal consistency level that has to be attained by objects included in the lower approximations is defined using a prior knowledge or a trial-and-error procedure. In order to avoid dependence on prior knowledge, an alternative way of handling inconsistencies is to iteratively eliminate the most inconsistent objects according to some measure until the information system becomes consistent. This idea is a base of a new method of handling inconsistencies presented in this paper and called TIPStoC. The TIPStoC algorithm is illustrated by an example from the area of telecommunication and the efficiency of the new method is proved by a computational experiment.

Blue native DIGE as a tool for comparative analyses of protein complexes

Differential gel electrophoresis (DIGE) is based on pre-labeling of different protein fractions and their subsequent co-electrophoresis in a single gel. Cyanine based "CyDye DIGE Fluor minimal dyes" are used for the labeling reaction and 2D IEF/SDS PAGE is the preferential electrophoresis system for protein separation. The DIGE technology allows elimination of inconsistencies based on gel to gel variations and furthermore allows exact quantification of proteins separated by gel electrophoresis. Here we report applications of the DIGE technology in combination with another 2D gel system, Blue native/SDS PAGE. "Blue native DIGE" offers (i) systematic and quantitative comparison of protein complexes of related protein fractions, (ii) structural investigation of protein complexes, (iii) assignment of protein complexes to subcellular fractions like organelles and (iv) electrophoretic mapping of isoforms of subunits of protein complexes with respect to a larger proteome. The potential of "Blue native DIGE" is illustrated by analysis of organellar fractions from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the alga Polytomella. Use of the DIGE technology for topological investigations is discussed.

Transdisciplinarity: A Scientific Essential

Transdisciplinarity in science is necessary to counteract the rapid growth of scientific results and information, the elimination of logical inconsistencies, and the effect of specialization whereby uncomparable disciplines develop. A correspondence is drawn between the uncontrolled growth, immune system malfunction, repression/expansion, and isolation that are characteristic of cancer and of the scientific concept of modernity. Suggestions are presented regarding the promotion of healing in both of these realms.

A turbulence model study of separated 3D jet/afterbody flow

Three-dimensional RANS calculations and comparisons with experimental data are presented for subsonic and transonic flow past a non-axisymmetric (rectangular) nozzle/afterbody typical of those found in fast-jet aircraft. The full details of the geometry have been modelled, and the flow domain includes the internal nozzle flow and the jet exhaust plume. The calculations relate to two free-stream Mach numbers of 0-6 and 0-94 and have been performed during the course of a collaborative research programme involving a number of UK universities and industrial organisations. The close interaction between partners contributed greatly to the elimination of computational inconsistencies and to rational decisions on common grids and boundary conditions, based on a range of preliminary computations. The turbulence models used in the study include linear and non-linear eddy-viscosity models. For the lower Mach number case, the flow remains attached and all of the turbulence models yield satisfactory pressure predictions. However, for the higher Mach number, the flow over the afterbody is massively separated, and the effect of turbulence model performance is pronounced. It is observed that non-linear eddy-viscosity modelling provides improved shock capturing and demonstrates significant turbulence anisotropy. Among the linear eddy-viscosity models, the SST model predicts the best surface pressure distributions. The standard k -ε model gives reasonable results, but returns a shock location which is too far downstream and displays a delayed recovery. The flow field inside the jet nozzle is not influenced by turbulence modelling, highlighting the essentially inviscid nature of the flow in this region. However, the resolution of internal shock cells for identical grids is found to be dependent on the solution algorithm -specifically, whether it solves for pressure or density as a main dependent variable. Density-based time-marching schemes are found to return a better resolution of shock reflection. The paper also highlights the urgent need for more detailed experimental data in this type of flow.

The structures of the to-infinitive

This article presents an approach to the English to-infinitive where to is a preposition with a bare infinitive complement and ECM and object control complements receive a small clause analysis. Crucial to this approach is the positioning of PRO, which always occurs in the subject position of to's complement. This positioning allows a complementary distribution of PRO, lexical NPs, and NP-trace. The distribution of these elements, in conjunction with the small clause approach, creates multiple advantages including the elimination of current inconsistencies in the theory of null case, the reduction of control to anaphoric binding, and a general and uniform theory of complementation.
