Intensely Social Journalistic Works by Ya. V. Abramov (1858-1906): Actual Problems of Public Life in Russian Empire at Turn of the Century

The problems of studying the journalistic works by Stavropol journalist of Ya. V. Abramov, who collaborated with the newspapers “North Caucasus,” “Azov region,” magazine “New word” and other periodicals of the central cities of the Russian Empire in the Caucasus in the late XIX - early XX century, are covered. Attention is paid to the problems of public life in the North Caucasus, that were displaying by articles, essays, notes of provincial journalist. A review of the main topics of Ya. V. Abramov’s journalistic creativity associated with the ideas of populism is made. The main stylistic methods are shown that were used in texts which deal with current social issues, typical not only for the North Caucasus, but nationwide with the turn of the century, having typical character that required an immediate response from the local and central authorities. The research urgency is caused by the fact that the authors introduced into scientific use data about the current corps of reissued texts by journalist Ya. V. Abramov. The article raises the question about the need to promote and further study of the works of currently little-known writer-populist, whose works are of great importance for the history of domestic journalism

Mathematical model of coordination number of spherical packing

The article considers a mathematical model of the coordination number, which allows obtaining an equation for multi component spherical packing in the entire range of its change. The resulting model can be used in both 2-d and 3-d spaces. The concept of the coordination index is introduced as a function of the inter-particle distance related to a single particle located near the central particle. The model provides unambiguous compliance between the simulated and calculated data on the coordination numbers of the spherical packin

Agreement of body adiposity index (BAI), bioimpedance analysis and ultrasound scanning in determining body fat

BACKGROUND: The steadily increasing number of people with obesity requires the development of simple and accurate methodological approaches to assess the absolute and relative amount of body fat mass. The body adiposity index (BAI) is one of the indices proposed to assess the body fat percentage. However, the comparison analysis of common methods, i.e., of bio-electrical impedance analysis and ultrasound scanning, and BAI was not performed for the Russian population.AIM: Comparison analysis of the body fat percentage estimates by bio-electrical impedance analysis, ultrasound scanning, and body adiposity index in the group of adult male and females.MATERIALS AND METHODS: An examination of healthy males and females from Moscow was conducted. Height, weight, waist and hip circumferences were measured. The body fat percentage was obtained by bio-electrical impedance analysis — BIA (ABC-02 Medas), ultrasound scanning — US (BodyMetrixTM, IntelaMetrix), and body adiposity index.RESULTS: 263 females and 134 males aged 18 to 73 years participated in the study. Correlation coefficients between BAI values and the body fat percentage obtained by BIA and US were 0.749 and 0.763 (p<0.000), respectively. Comparison of body fat percentage measurements obtained by BAI, BIA and US showed the low agreement (ССС<0.90) between BAI and other methods in pooled sample as well as in the female and male groups. Comparison of the US and BAI methods revealed higher level of agreement (ССС=0.84 [0.80–0.86]) and no systematic bias. Lower level of agreement was obtained in the group of males.CONCLUSION: Conducted study allows to conclude that, at the individual level, BAI is not an appropriate method for estimating the body fat percentage relatively to other indirect methods. However, all three methods can be used in the group of pooled males and females when testing at the population level
