Problem Of Preservation Research Articles

ЕВОЛЮЦІЯ ПІДХОДІВ ДО ЗБЕРЕЖЕННЯ АРХЕОЛОГІЧНИХ РЕЛІКТІВ АРХІТЕКТУРИ: ОГЛЯД МІЖНАРОДНИХ ДОКУМЕНТІВ

Archaeological sites are non-renewable resources of global significance, containing material evidence of the past. International documents and charters have played a crucial role in shaping the principles of archaeological heritage preservation. This study examines the theoretical foundations of archaeological site conservation as outlined in international documents and charters from the 20th and 21st centuries, which contribute to the evolving ethics of interventions in archaeological sites. Special attention is given to analyzing the legal status of ratified international documents in Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of ratifying those documents that have yet to be adopted at the national level. The problem of archaeological preservation becomes increasingly relevant as new architectural heritage objects are discovered annually. Many of these architectural relics lack primary protective measures, such as roofs or other structures, rendering them vulnerable to deterioration due to environmental factors, improper use, negligence, or misguided interventions. In the absence of appropriate protection, these objects are particularly susceptible to degradation, underscoring the need for urgent preservation measures. Nowadays, cultural heritage faces numerous threats, such as climate change, urbanization, and wars. For Ukraine, it is essential not only to acknowledge the significance of presenting archaeological sites, which embody the identity and values of society, but also to actively implement international preservation standards. This study also highlights the need for comprehensive research into international documents and charters, based on centuries of experience in preservation of archaeological remains of architecture, achieved through trial and error. Ukraine must integrate global experiences into national practices to avoid past mistakes and ensure the reliable preservation of archaeological heritage for future generations. The article's objective is to analyze approaches to the preservation of architectural archaeological relics based on international documents and charters, exploring the evolution of these approaches and the values of heritage they delineate. The research aims to shed light on the problem of insufficient implementation of international norms into national legislation and restoration practices.

COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSERVATIVE AND SURGIRAL TREATMENT OF GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS

In the complex treatment of generalized periodontitis, special attention is paid to the correct combination of conservative and surgical methods of treatment, which reduce the activity of destructive processes in periodontal tissues and restore the lost anatomy [1-9]. However, despite various additions and modifications, conservative and surgical interventions on the periodontal itself do not create sufficient conditions for effective relief of pathological processes and restoration of periodontal tissues [10-18]. In some cases, the use of new technologies, including the use of occupational hygiene, dental splints and other conservative methods of treatment, does not lead to the stabilization of destructive processes in the alveolar process, and in some cases contributes to the further destruction of periodontal tissues and surrounding bone tissue with the formation of defects of various sizes. The problem of dental preservation in patients with generalized periodontitis of II-III severity is still relevant. The organizational inconsistency of dentists of different specialties, the lack of a real medical examination of patients with periodontal disease create prerequisites for the interruption of treatment at the level of conservative therapeutic agents and the active course of destruction of bone tissue of alveolar processes.

Characteristics of Health-Preserving Behavior of Parents Raising Children with Disabilities

The article presents the results of a study devoted to the study of health-preserving behavior of parents raising children with disabilities aged 6-10 years. The study was conducted in April-May 2024 in the Borovsky District of the Kaluga Region. The research method was a questionnaire survey of parents. The questions touched upon the implementation of such important areas of child health-preservation in the family as home nutrition, daily routine, sleep, hygiene, control over the safe use of gadgets for the child's health, the psychological climate in the family, the attitude of parents to their own health, etc. The process of interaction between parents and a medical institution and medical workers as subjects of child health-preservation was also studied. It was found that the majority of parents (85%) fully comply with the doctor's advice and prescriptions. Most parents (68%) know the specifics of the child's disease and treatment. According to 54% of parents, their children willingly follow the doctor's recommended prescriptions. 15% of parents failed to develop the skill of following doctors' recommendations in their children with disabilities. In 30% of parents, the child does not follow the doctor's orders or follows them thanks to the parents. In every third family, the sick child's sleep schedule is not followed. Only a third of parents (31%) have children who attend exercise therapy classes. Parents have a low level of health-preserving competence in the issue of healthy nutrition. The materials of the article can be used in the work of specialists in medical and social institutions, educational and public organizations, and can also be useful for researchers interested in the problem of health preservation of children with disabilities.

Low Calcium-High Magnesium Krebs-Henseleit Solution Combined with Adenosine and Lidocaine Improved Rat Aortic Function and Structure Following Cold Preservation.

Background and objectives: The main problem of vascular preservation is the maintenance of vessel graft quality and function following extended storage. Conventional preservation solutions such as histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution, Phosphate-Buffer Solution (PBS), or sodium chloride 0.9% has been shown to be inadequate in preserving vascular physiological function after 3 days of cold storage. This study aimed to evaluate whether adenosine and lidocaine (AL) in a modified Krebs-Henseleit (KH) solution can preserve the function and histological structure of rat aortic rings after 6 days. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five aortic rings from male Wistar rats (200-300 g) were harvested and immediately immersed in one of the assigned cold preservation solutions: standard KH, modified KH (mod KH) with lower calcium (Ca2+) and higher magnesium content (Mg2+) with or without adenosine and lidocaine (mod KH-AL), and modified KH with AL, insulin, and melatonin (Mod KH-ALMI). The contraction and relaxation function of the aortic rings were examined using an isometric force transducer after 6 days of cold preservation. Hematoxylin and eosin staining were used to analyze the rings' histological structure. Results: Vascular contraction and relaxation functions were severely affected after a 6-day cold storage period in standard KH. Modifying the KH solution by reducing the Ca2+ and increasing the Mg2+ levels greatly recovered the vessel functions. The addition of AL or ALMI to the modified KH did not further recover vascular contractility. However, only the addition of AL to the modified KH increased the ACh-induced relaxation at 6 days when compared to the conventional KH, suggesting that endothelium preservation is improved. From histological analysis, it was found that the addition of AL but not ALMI further improved the endothelial lining and the structure of the elastic membrane layers of the preserved vessels after 6 days of cold preservation. Conclusions: The addition of AL to low calcium-high magnesium KH solution significantly enhanced endothelial preservation and improved endothelial-induced relaxation of preserved vessels after 6 days of cold storage.

Effect of Humanin and MOTS-c on ameliorating reproductive damage induced by prepubertal cyclophosphamide chemotherapy in male mice

Male patients who undergo prepubertal chemotherapy face the dual problems of fertility preservation in adulthood, including low testosterone, hypersexual function, and infertility. Humanin, as a small polypeptide coded within the mitochondrial DNA, with the mitochondrial short open reading frame named MOTS-c, both was believed to regulate mitochondrial homeostasis, be anti-inflammatory, improve metabolism, anti-apoptosis, and multiple pharmacological effects. However, there exists little evidence that reported Humanin and MOTS-c 's effects on moderating male spermatogenic function of patients after prepubertal chemotherapy. Here, we found that in vivo, mitochondrial polypeptides Humanin analog (HNG) and MOTS-c efficaciously protected the testicular spermatogenic function from reproductive injury. Moreover, transcriptomic sequencing analysis was performed to verify the differentially expressed genes such as Piwil2, AGT (angiotensinogen), and PTGDS (glycoprotein prostaglandin D2 synthase), which are related to the regulation of male reproductive function of male mice induced by prepubertal chemotherapy. Collectively, our data revealed that both Humanin analogs HNG and MOTS-c are the feasible approaches attached to the protective effect on the male reproductive function damaged by prepubertal chemotherapy.

Towards the problem of preserving temporary revolutionary monuments of Petrograd: the case of the Central State Archive of St. Petersburg

The temporary monuments of Petrograd, installed as part of implementing Lenin’s plan, were conceived as one of the methods of propaganda of the population by means of art. However, hastily created from gypsum and inaugurated, the objects soon began to crumble. Purpose of the article: to study the activity of the city authorities in 1923 to preserve the monuments, namely, the busts of A. Blanqui, G. Garibaldi, H. Heine, A. Herzen, N. Dobrolyubov, T. Shevchenko, installed in Petrograd. The article is based on the analysis of the file of the Central State Archive of St. Petersburg, which demonstrates the process of repair work on the temporary monuments mentioned in the article. The analysis of these archival documents gives an idea of the existence of the problem of preservation of temporary monuments, its scale and possible ways of its elimination. The article publishes photographs from the funds of the Central State Archive of Cinema, Photographic, and Phonographic Documents of St. Petersburg. The methodology of the work is based on the principle of historicism and objectivity, the methods of comparative analysis were used. The research has shown that in 1923 the Petrograd authorities made attempts to save the mentioned commemorative signs. The result of the activity was the prolongation for a certain period of time of the deliberately short life of the studied monuments — busts. The main reason for the fragility of the objects was the material of construction, which was unsuitable for a long stay in the landscape of the city. The problem was aggravated by the climatic conditions of the northern capital. In the future, the monuments of the Soviet era were made of “permanent material”.

Digital Transformation Techniques for Manuscripts

The world is witnessing continuous technological developments that have an impact on societies and institutions. Therefore, all countries seek to keep pace with these developments and introduce them into various fields. Digital transformation has become one of the most important necessities that all institutions must adopt today, as digital transformation is capable of creating a competitive technological environment to achieve the highest levels of quality at the lowest costs. Manuscripts are of interest to many scholars and researchers due to their scientific and artistic value. Preserving them means preserving national identity, especially with the emergence of technology. It has become imperative to preserve manuscripts from damage and loss and make them available to the largest number of beneficiaries. In the past, Arabs were among the most important peoples who contributed to the preservation of manuscripts. One of the most important challenges facing modern society is managing, preserving, and retrieving information from the vast amount of paper documents and files that are increasing daily. By using technology, the time taken to search for the required document or distribute documents to the relevant parties leads to a significant increase in the productivity of the institution. Information technology and electronic communication systems have revolutionized traditional methods of processing, preserving, and exchanging information. The presence of advanced technologies provides us with ease and accuracy in accessing information. Archiving as a general concept relies on storing and classifying papers in a way that makes it easy to refer back to them when needed. With the advent of computers, the process has become easier, providing more flexibility and ease in retrieval, as well as reducing the costs of preservation and storage. This technology has a direct impact on the archival profession, as archivists have turned to electronic means and imaging storage systems, as well as audiovisual methods, in an attempt to solve the storage and preservation problem. Modern digital technology affects all areas of life due to the integrated scientific environment it provides. All societies have begun to transition towards the digital age because of its remarkable development in information and communication technology.

In the study, a questionnaire was conducted, psychological testing was applied, and physiological parameters were measured. Conclusions: in the conditions of martial law, attention needs to be paid to solving the problem of health preservation, physical exercises are a stimulator of the vital activity of the body and an important factor in strengthening human health.

THE SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE KHOJA AHMED YASAWI COMPLEX IN TURKESTAN FEATURES

The problem of preservation and optimal demonstration of architectural monuments to local residents and tourists is of constant scientific and public interest. An interesting example of such a monument is the mausoleum-khanaka of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkestan, which remained unfinished. Studies of this building have been conducted for more than one century. However, not all new materials take into account some aspects disclosed in previous years. For example, studies of foundations and walls conducted in the 1950’s suggested that during the main period of construction in the fourteenth century, only the completion of the complex was carried out, and not the construction of a completely new building. However, despite the publications confirming it, including those of the 2010s, the version of new construction on the site of the purposefully completely destroyed original complex is still widespread. Based on the authors' research, which was conducted in late 2022, the assumption of reconstruction and rebuilding of the mausoleum-khanaka complex of the XIV century project was confirmed. An assumption is also made about the shape of the main dome and portal, which remained unfinished. Taking into account the importance of the mausoleum-khanaka of Khoja Ahmed Yassawi for self-determination of the culture of modern Kazakhstan, it seems appropriate to consider the evolution of the complex and the prospects of its development, which is done in the proposed article.

“Sandwich” Structure (PLA/Thymol Fibre Membranes/SAP/Paper Fibre) Antibacterial Pad for Preservation of Chilled Mutton

ABSTRACTThe antibacterial pad was developed to solve the preservation problem of chilled mutton. The antibacterial pad was a “Sandwich” structure (PLA/thymol fibre membranes/SAP/paper fibre), which could absorb water and inhibit bacteria. The fibre membranes are prepared by electrostatic spinning technology. The successful incorporation of thymol into the fibre membranes was proved by FTIR, SEM and water contact angle analysis. The release experiment showed that the fibre membranes (PLA/thymol) had a slow‐release effect, especially in fatty food simulants. According to the antibacterial experiment, the antibacterial pad had a significant inhibition effect on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus (the inhibition zone was 25 ~ 26 mm). In addition, the total viable count, total volatile alkaline nitrogen, pH value and drip loss showed that the antibacterial pads could effectively extend the shelf life of chilled mutton for 6 days. Therefore, the antibacterial pad has broad application prospects in meat preservation.

On the role of toponymic commemorative practices in the research and preservation of disappeared names of geographical objects

INTRODUCTION. The problem of research and preservation of disappeared names of geographical objects through toponymic commemorative practices is considered. An analysis is given of the activities of mass communications, thanks to which the memory of bygone toponyms is passed on to future generations of residents of the country as a whole and individual regions, and the local toponymic martyrology is regularly updated with new names. The purpose of the study is to identify the role of toponymic commemorative practices in the study and preservation of disappeared names of geographical objects located on the territory of the Russian Federation.MATERIALS AND METHODS. Using specific examples from the experience of the Voronezh Region on the successful implementation of toponymic commemorative practices, their main types are considered, recommendations are given to public authorities and local governments on how to work in this direction. The empirical base of the study consists of alphabetical lists of geographical names of previously existing settlements registered in the automated state catalog of geographical names, publications in the media and in scientific publications.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. It is shown that the main types of toponymic commemorative practices can be the installation of commemorative signs, information plaques, chapels, monuments on the site of disappeared settlements, the publication of relevant local history materials, works of art and memoirs of former residents of these settlements in regional and district media, the holding of mass cultural and historical events.CONCLUSION. Communication practices are a reliable channel for preserving the memory of disappeared settlements and their names and transmitting relevant historical and toponymic information to subsequent generations of Russians. To this end, the state authorities and local governments of the subjects of the Russian Federation are recommended to apply toponymic commemorative practices in their activities.

Modern issues of oncofertility and oncoreproduction

The problem of the occurrence of malignant neoplasms in women of reproductive age has not only medical, but also extremely important social significance, as it affects the demographic potential of the country as a whole.The article presents an analysis of the current state of the problem of fertility and preservation of reproductive function in cancer patients. Currently, there are a sufficient number of methods of assisted reproductive technologies aimed at preserving fertility in women with cancer. Among them are the following: cryopreservation of embryos and oocytes, ovarian tissue, in vitro maturation of eggs, obtaining oocytes obtained by removing the ovaries with their subsequent maturation. In addition, auxiliary methods are also distinguished, the main purpose of which is ovarian protection: the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, ovarian transposition, gonadal screening. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. It should be noted that the very fact of the presence of oncological pathology makes its own adjustments to the use of each specific technique. It has been shown that in vitro maturation technology is the most optimal for the preservation and realization of reproductive function in cancer patients. One of its few disadvantages is the high cost and complexity of laboratory control and cultivation of oocytes, which undoubtedly requires highly qualified specialists and relevant experience.

NEW FACTS ABOUT THE LIFE AND WORK OF THE FIRST RUSSIAN RESTORER A.F. MITROKHIN (1765-1845)

Restoration is one of the most important areas in preserving the world’s cultural heritage. Th e 19th century is a landmark in the history of restoration. At that time, it turned from a private practice of self-taught artists into a real scientifi cally based discipline. Many European countries have faced the problems of cultural heritage preservation, and everywhere they were solved in diff erent ways, depending on local peculiarities and experience. Th is article deals with previously unknown facts from the life and activity of the fi rst Russian restorer Andrei Filippovich Mitrokhin, who was born and studied painting in the town of Toropets. He served as a simple soldier, then on duty he ended up in Saint Petersburg, where he was soon granted a valet at the Hermitage. His career developed under Franz Ivanovich Labensky, who assumed the position of chief curator of paintings in the Hermitage Gallery in 1797. Mitrokhin’s role in the history of Russian restoration and, in particular, the Hermitage cannot be overestimated. He not only restored paintings and trained several apprentices, but also worked independently on the development of new methods of restoring paintings. By mastering new techniques and methods of mechanical restoration, Mitrokhin and his students managed to preserve more than a thousand paintings from the Hermitage collection, many of which are painting masterpieces. Unfortunately, some aspects of Mitrokhin’s biography, especially his life outside the Hermitage, have long been overlooked by scholars. This paper examines the problem of his alleged date of birth, family and friendship ties, etc. Th e archival data cited by the author allow us to take a fresh look at Mitrokhin as a restorer, and also shed light on some socio-cultural aspects of his time.

Integrated petrophysical, sedimentological and well-log study of the Mangahewa Formation, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

This study aims to address the problem of porosity preservation in the Mangahewa Formation of five main hydrocarbon fields covering onshore and offshore of the Taranaki Basin. An integrated reservoir characterization of the Middle to Late Eocene Mangahewa Formation is achieved through petrophysical evaluation, sedimentological and petrographical descriptions, and well log analysis methods. Petrophysical parameters (porosity and permeability) were acquired from the available core analysis and using mathematical equations to obtain other petrophysical matrices such as normalized porosity index (NPI) and reservoir quality index (RQI). Factors that affected Mangahewa reservoir were studied through thin-section microscopy and well-log analysis helped to measure the reservoir and hydrocarbon potentiality in the Mangahewa Formation. The Mangahewa Formation is dominated by sandstone and a range of marginal to shallow marine facies with varying hydraulic flow units (HFU). The Mangahewa Formation has a high positive correlation in porosity-permeability relationship and has a maximum of 4.67 μm RQI and 20.08 μm FZI (Well Kapuni-14) which reflect potential reservoir. The Mangahewa Formation observed from Wells Kapuni-14, Maui-A1G, McKee-16A, and Mokau-1 are dominated with 59.6%, 56.4%, 79.3%, and 68% of macro- and megapores, respectively. The presence of authigenic clay and calcite cement has greatly reduced the reservoir quality; however, primary and secondary pores are still observed within the Mangahewa sands. Moreover, well log analysis was carried out on four wells in Taranaki Basin, to run a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the Mangahewa reservoir. Eight potential reservoir zones were examined, revealing that the Mangahewa Formation has a very low shale volume of less than 6%, good effective porosity ranging between 11.0% and 13.3%, up to 36.2% of average water saturation and maximum of 69.8% average hydrocarbon saturation. In conclusion, from this comprehensive study, it can be deduced that the Mangahewa Formation possesses fair to good reservoir quality and hydrocarbon potentiality.

SOCIETY’S NEED FOR PRESERVING WORKS OF ART

The difference in the attitude of people to collecting works of art is indicated. The subject of discussion is the ambiguous understanding of beauty in the modern world, as well as the current criteria for attributing works of art to artistic values. This material is intended to expand readers’ understanding of the relevance of the protection of cultural heritage.

Energy Efficient Quantum-Informed Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms for Industrial Internet of Things

One of the most prominent research areas in information technology is the Internet of things (IoT) as its applications are widely used such as structural monitoring, health care management systems, agriculture and battlefield management, and so on. Due to its self-organizing network and simple installation of the network, the researchers have been attracted to pursue research in the various fields of IoTs. However, a huge amount of work has been addressed on various problems confronted by IoT. The nodes densely deploy over critical environments and those are operated on tiny batteries. Moreover, the replacement of dead batteries in the nodes is almost impractical. Therefore, the problem of energy preservation and maximization of IoT networks has become the most prominent research area. However, numerous state-of-the-art algorithms have addressed this issue. Thus, it has become necessary to gather the information and send it to the base station in an optimized method to maximize the network. Therefore, we propose a novel quantum-informed ant colony optimization (ACO) routing algorithm with the efficient encoding scheme of cluster head selection and derivation of information heuristic factors. The algorithm has been tested by simulation for various network scenarios. The simulation results of the proposed algorithm show its efficacy over a few existing evolutionary algorithms using various performance metrics such as residual energy of the network, network lifetime, and the number of live IoT nodes.

Preservation of the Historical Kadetskyi Hai Ecosystem During A Military Threat Using Polish Experience

The article is devoted to the study of the historical eco-systems preservation problems. The aspect of the negative impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on natural eco-systems is emphasized separately. Using the example of a unique natural area – the historical Kadetskyi Hai (Cadet grove) in Kyiv, the condition of this area, the problems of its existence and the ways to solve them are evaluated. The history of the Osiedle Oficerskie (Officers’ Residential Complex) in Cracow, its condition and problems, and the possibilities of applying Polish experience in arranging the territory of the Kadetskyi Hai are separately analyzed.

COASTAL TERRITORY AND COASTAL ZONE: DEFINITION, CHARACTERISTICS, URBAN DEVELOPMENT

The purpose of this publication is to define the terms «coastal territory» and «coastal zone» from the point of view of their urban planning use, because the current legislative documents, normative sources, scientific articles, which raise the problems of development and preservation of coastal territories, do not give their clear interpretation. As a natural phenomenon, the river and its coastal territory are an interdependent river ecosystem, which is a complex dynamic complex with paradynamic connections, where the exchange of substances, energy, and information takes place. The general boundary and configuration of the coastal territory is determined according to the maximum value of the influence of the river, taking into account its engineering and geological, microclimatic and spatial planning criteria. From the point of view of urban planning, the coastal area is a natural reserve of the urban fabric, which has a favorable potential for the formation of coastal zones in order to create a comfortable and safe urban environment. The coastal zone is a part of the coastal territory and water area with regulated and unregulated economic activity, the functional purpose of which is the organization of a favorable environment for the life of the population in the zone of influence of the reservoir. Almost all coastal areas are favorable for urban development - the difference exists in the degree of complexity and cost of urban development of coastal areas, their transformation into coastal zones. The urban planning assessment of the coastal zone for the organization of a favorable and comfortable environment for people's stay here is a complex of engineering-geological, architectural-compositional, sanitary-ecological and economic assessments. The choice of techniques for the development of the coastal zone should be based on the principles of the formation of an expressive architectural and planning development, improvement of the urban microclimate, the formation of convenient public space and landscaped and recreational areas. It is unacceptable to build up the coastal zone with capital structures of the industrial area, with the exception of water management facilities, and the laying of transit main streets here. The functional purpose of coastal zones may change over time. An assessment of the natural factors of coastal areas in relation to the degree of favorability of urban development of coastal areas and an assessment of coastal landscapes in relation to their functional purpose is given. It is noted that the main defining features of the coastal area, among many factors, are the geomorphological structure and microclimate. The transformation of Kyiv's Dnieper embankment has been traced: starting from the 5th century, after passing through 4 main periods of formation due to the arrangement and beautification of the coastal zone, the Podil embankment today has lost its function as a public space. The transformation of the coastal zone of Kyiv into a center of limited elite housing and a transport corridor is an impoverishment of the life of the city, the loss of an important urban area. The development of coastal areas, as a natural potential in cities, should be carried out within the limits of current legislation and taking into account environmental norms to create a favorable urban environment.

Study of factory settlements of the Perm region near the Kama river

The formation in the Urals of domestic factory production, which began with the salt industry, as a fundamental fishery in the territory, was considered, and was fully realized in mining industrial metallurgy, which received a whole direction called «Mining civilization». This period gave rise to the spread of new types of settlements City-plants, which were formed around the enterprise, and the territory developed as originally industrial. However, the problem of preservation of some factory settlements and as such enterprises arose for the authorities of the former Molotov region (1940-1957) «Gordian knot», due to the construction of the Kama hydroelectric power plant and the creation of a reservoir, As a result, not only agricultural land and pastures, but also historical settlements, factory areas and many unexplored archaeological sites were flooded. Therefore, in this article the historical, cartographic analysis of former factory settlements was also conducted and the damage of flooding and flooding of territories was revealed, as well as the preserved heritage of «factory civilization».
