Features of statistical methods application in rating construction

The article is devoted to solving the problem of rating construction methodology, including issues of comparability in dynamics and inconsistency. The study analyzes approaches to the procedures for aggregating private components of the rating. Attention is focused on the shortcomings of ratings used in international and domestic practice as integral meters, among which are the incompleteness of information on the private components of ratings, an unacceptably high level of error in the development of ratings as integral meters and the lack of evaluation of their quality. The approach to rating construction on the basis of average weighted sum of ranks is offered. The ratio of the sum of the squares of the rank paired coefficients of the private rating to the total sum of the squares of the rank coefficients for all private ratings (the matrix of squares of rank correlations) is used as weights. The approach proposed by the authors, in contrast to the existing methodological approaches, makes it possible to build a rating in the absence of information about private components. The novelty of the study results lies in the method of estimating weights of private ratings as basic components of the rating. The article presents the results of construction a rating of the regions of the Central Federal District in Russia for achieving national goals in 2021 based on private ratings, which confirmed the adequacy of the proposed approach. The article may be of interest to a wide range of researchers in the field of statistics and regional economics

Changes in the reactivity of the vertebrobasilar arteries when using glucose-electrolyte drink with antioxidant plant extracts during submaximal exercise test

The aim. To assess the effect of glucose-electrolyte composition with plant extracts having antioxidant activity on the hemodynamic parameters of vertebrobasilar system during the incrementally increasing submaximal exercise test.Materials and methods. The study included 12 athletes (6 candidates for master of sports and 6 masters of sports) aged 18–22, who have been engaged in orienteering for 10 years and more. Time of aerobic exercise – 2 hours a day, five days a week. The study subjects performed an incrementally increasing submaximal exercise test and also submaximal exercise test with the preventive intake of a glucose-electrolyte composition with plant extracts having antioxidant properties. To assess the hemodynamic parameters in all study subjects we used Doppler ultrasound of the cerebral vessels, evaluating vertebrobasilar system blood flow, exercise gas test in the modification of hypo- and hyperventilation, and also positional test.Results. A single intake of glucose-electrolyte drink under conditions of incrementally increasing exercise test contributed to the manifestation of a homeostatic effect in hemodynamic parameters of the vertebrobasilar arteries. It is evidenced by the approximation to the pre-exercise level of maximum systolic velocity and average blood velocity in the breath-holding test, of the diastolic blood velocity in the hyperventilation test, and of the pulsatility index in the torsion test, as compared to the isolated submaximal exercise test which caused the change in both velocity indicators and calculated indices during the functional tests.The article considers the main mechanisms underlying the change in arterial hemodynamic parameters caused by incrementally increasing load, as well as describes the proposed mechanisms arising from the combined effect of an incrementally increasing load and the intake of a glucose-electrolyte composition with plant extracts having antioxidant activity.Conclusion. It was shown that using glucose-electrolyte drink contributed to the restoration of hemodynamic parameters of the vertebrobasilar arteries after an incrementally increasing submaximal exercise test

Spent fuel sabotage aerosol test program :FY 2005-06 testing and aerosol data summary.

This multinational, multi-phase spent fuel sabotage test program is quantifying the aerosol particles produced when the products of a high energy density device (HEDD) interact with and explosively particulate test rodlets that contain pellets of either surrogate materials or actual spent fuel. This program has been underway for several years. This program provides source-term data that are relevant to some sabotage scenarios in relation to spent fuel transport and storage casks, and associated risk assessments. This document focuses on an updated description of the test program and test components for all work and plans made, or revised, primarily during FY 2005 and about the first two-thirds of FY 2006. It also serves as a program status report as of the end of May 2006. We provide details on the significant findings on aerosol results and observations from the recently completed Phase 2 surrogate material tests using cerium oxide ceramic pellets in test rodlets plus non-radioactive fission product dopants. Results include: respirable fractions produced; amounts, nuclide content, and produced particle size distributions and morphology; status on determination of the spent fuel ratio, SFR (the ratio of respirable particles from real spent fuel/respirables from surrogate spent fuel, measured under closely matched test conditions, in a contained test chamber); and, measurements of enhanced volatile fission product species sorption onto respirable particles. We discuss progress and results for the first three, recently performed Phase 3 tests using depleted uranium oxide, DUO{sub 2}, test rodlets. We will also review the status of preparations and the final Phase 4 tests in this program, using short rodlets containing actual spent fuel from U.S. PWR reactors, with both high- and lower-burnup fuel. These data plus testing results and design are tailored to support and guide, follow-on computer modeling of aerosol dispersal hazards and radiological consequence assessments. This spent fuel sabotage--aerosol test program, performed primarily at Sandia National Laboratories, with support provided by both the U.S. Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, had significant inputs from, and is strongly supported and coordinated by both the U.S. and international program participants in Germany, France, and the U.K., as part of the international Working Group for Sabotage Concerns of Transport and Storage Casks, WGSTSC

Quantification of C1 esterase inhibitor in human serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: Correlation with turbidimetric immunoassay

C1 inhibitor of serine proteases (C1-INH) performs a regulatory function in the complement system and vascular permeability. Deficiency of C1-INH leads to various forms of angioedema, including hereditary angioedema (HAE). The cause of HAE is a genetically determined violation of the synthesis of C1-INH. A decrease in the level of C1-INH to 50% relative to the norm leads to an increase in the production of bradykinin, which is the basis for the diagnosis of HAE. The development of affordable ELISA for the quantitative determination of C1-INH is a popular direction for clinicians. During the development of a new kit for quantitative determination of C1-INH, two mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb) with different epitope specificities were obtained. On their basis, a sandwich-type ELISA was developed. The specificity of the obtained mAb's was confirmed using the medical device “Berinert”. To prepare calibrators, C1-INH was affinity purified from human blood plasma using a sorbent with immobilized mAbs. The identity of the C1-INH protein was confirmed by PAGE electrophoresis, immunoblotting, and mass spectrometry on MALDI-TOF/TOF UltrafleXtreme mass spectrometer. To assess the quality indicators of developed reagents kit, studies were carried out in accordance with GOST R 51352-2013 and TU 21.20.23-041-01967164-2022. Values of quality indicators: accuracy — 93.53%; measurement linearity interval — 22.00-176.07 ng/mL. Using the developed ELISA test system, we examined 28 blood sera from healthy donors and 7 blood sera from patients with confirmed HAE. In the same samples, the content of C1-INH was determined by turbidimetric method, using the "Diagnostic reagents for in vitro immunochemical studies of specific blood proteins. Model: C1-esterase inhibitor (C1 EsteraseInhibitor)" (Aptec, Belgium). The correlation coefficient was 0.94 (p < 0.05). It was found that the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the developed ELISA is 100%. As a result of the study, an original ELISA test system for the quantitative determination of C1-INH was developed "Reagent kit for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of human C1-inhibitor (C1-inh PS)"

Заболеваемость гриппом в январе-марте 2016 г. в Российской Федерации: эпидемический и пандемический потенциал вируса гриппа A(H1N1)pdm09

The World Health Organization (WHO) searches influenza virus circulation in community and in natural biocenosis, studies virus strains and their properties, develops diagnostic methods and preventive measures since 1940th worldwide because of epidemic actuality and high pandemic potential of the influenza virus. The Federal Influenza Center (including Federal Research Institute of Influenza, Saint-Petersburg, and the Center of Virus Ecology, D.I.Ivanovskiy Virology Institute, Honorary Academician N.F.GamaleyaFederal Research Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology, Federal Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, Moscow) performs similar work in Russia in close cooperation with WHO within the framework of the International Programme of Influenza Monitoring. A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus dominated in the Northern Hemisphere in the 2015 – 2016 epidemic season. Morbidity growth was noted from the end of January, 2016, to the beginning of March, 2016. The peak morbidity at the 5th week of the year exceeded the epidemic threshold (132 cases per 10,000 of population) and morbidity in the 2014 – 2015 season significantly and approached to the peak morbidity of the 2009 – 2010 epidemic season. The epidemic growth in Russian Federation was provided by three influenza viruses: A(H1N1)pdm09, В and A (H3N2). A(H1N1)pdm09 virus caused 18% of all acute respiratory diseases and accounted for 84% of circulating influenza viruses.Flu was diagnosed in patients of different age with maximal frequency in 3- to 6-year old children. Peak admission number was registered at 5 and 6 weeks (3,538 and 4,109 cases, respectively); this number exceeded the similar parameter of the 2009 – 2010 season. Patients of 15 to 64 years old were admitted more often including those with acute respiratory infection. Two hundred and thirty nine deaths were registered to the 5th of April, 2016, according to data from the Federal Influenza Center and the Center of Virus Ecology. The diagnosis of A(H1N1)pdm09 flu was confirmed in 97.9% of deaths. Molecular analysis of isolated strains of A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus revealed amino acid substitutions in receptor binding site and SA site of hemagglutinin and in genes coding intrinsic proteins PA, NP, M1, and NS1. Influenza virus strains resistive to anti-neuraminidase drugs were encountered in #< 1% in the Northern Hemisphere countries. No strains studied were sensitive to adamantine derivates.Актуальность. С 1947 г. в связи с эпидемической актуальностью и высоким пандемическим потенциалом вируса гриппа типа А по инициативе Всемирной организации здравоохранения (ВОЗ) организована Глобальная система по надзору за гриппом и ответу (Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System – GISRS), которая в настоящее время представлена 6 сотрудничающими центрами по гриппу, 143 национальными центрами по гриппу в 113 странах, а также производителями гриппозных вакцин. Российская Федерация представлена в этой системе двумя национальными центрами – Федеральным центром по гриппу (ФЦГ) ФГБУ «Научно-исследовательский институт гриппа» Минздрава России (Санкт-Петербург) и Центром экологии и эпидемиологии гриппа (ЦЭЭГ) Института вирусологии им. Д.И.Ивановского ФГБУ «Федеральный научно-исследовательский центр эпидемиологии и микробиологии имени почетного академика Н.Ф.Гамалеи» Минздрава России (Москва). Оба центра осуществляют еженедельный надзор за циркуляцией вирусов гриппа в 59 городах Российской Федерации, который предполагает анализ заболеваемости, госпитализации, летальных случаев от гриппа и острой респираторной вирусной инфекции (ОРВИ) в разных возрастных группах, а также проведение диагностики с помощью широкого спектра лабораторных методов. Материалы и методы. В странах Северного полушария в эпидемическом сезоне 2015–2016 гг. в этиологии подъема заболеваемости доминировал вирус гриппа A(H1N1)pdm09. Подъем заболеваемости гриппом в России зарегистрирован с конца января до начала марта 2016 г. Показатель заболеваемости на пике эпидемии (5-я неделя 2016 г.), значительно превысив эпидемический порог (132 случая на 10 тыс. населения) и значение сезона 2014–2015 гг., отмечен на уровне эпидемического сезона 2009–2010 гг. Результаты. Этиологическую структуру эпидемического подъема заболеваемости в РФ определили 3 вируса гриппа – A(H1N1)pdm09, В и A(H3N2) при разном долевом участии. Грипп A(H1N1)pdm09 в структуре ОРВИ составила 18,0 %, в структуре циркулирующих вирусов гриппа – 84,0 %. Заболеваемость зарегистрирована во всех возрастных группах. Бόльшая вовлеченность в эпидемический процесс зафиксирована у детей 3–6 лет. Максимальное число госпитализаций отмечено на 5-й и 6-й неделях 2016 г. – 3 538 и 4 109 случаев соответственно, что превысило показатели сезона 2009–2010 гг. Наибольшее число случаев госпитализации, в т. ч. с тяжелой острой респираторной инфекцией, отмечено в возрастной группе 15–64 лет. По данным ФЦГ и ЦЭЭГ, на 05.04.16 зарегистрировано 239 летальных исходов. В 97,9 % случаев лабораторными исследованиями подтвержден грипп A(H1N1)pdm09. Заключение. По результатам молекулярно-генетического анализа выделенных штаммов вируса гриппа A / H1N1pdm09 показано наличие аминокислотных замен в гемагглютинине (рецептор-связывающем и Sa сайтах) и в генах, кодирующих внутренние белки (PA, NP, M1, NS1). Доля резистентных штаммов к препаратам с антинейраминидазной активностью в странах Северного полушария не превысила 1 %, а к производным адамантана оказались нечувствительными все изученные циркулирующие штаммы

Peculiarities of the influenza viruses circulation and their properties during 2018-2019 epidemic season in Russia and countries of the Northern Hemisphere

Objective. To identify the drift variability of influenza viruses during the period of epidemic rise in the incidence of acute respiratory viral infections in the period 2018-2019. The biological and molecular-genetic properties of epidemic strains isolated in certain territories of the Russian Federation were studied and compared with data from the countries of the Northern Hemisphere. Materials and methods. A range of laboratory diagnostic methods has been applied, including immune fluorescence, RT-PCR, sequencing, methods for determining sensitivity to influenza drugs and receptor specificity. Results and discussion. The proportion of influenza viruses was as follows: A (H1N1) pdm09 - 53 %, A (H3N2) - 46 %, B - about 1 %. Cases of severe acute respiratory infections have most often been associated with influenza A(H1N1) pdm09 virus. According to antigenic properties, isolated strains corresponded to the properties of vaccine viruses (A/Michigan/45/2015 - by 99.6 % and A/Singapore INFIMH-16-0019/2016 - by 86 %). The heterogeneity of influenza A virus strains population was revealed as regards individual mutations in hemaglutinin. The influenza B virus population was equally represented by both evolutionary lines (B/Victoria and B/Yamagata-like). Receptor specificity was favorable for the course and outcome of the disease. Among 70 studied epidemic strains, no strains resistant to anti-neuraminidase drugs, oseltamivir and zanamivir, were detected. The article presents WHO recommendations on the composition of influenza vaccines for the countries of the Northern Hemisphere for 2019-2020, provides data on cases of human infection with avian influenza viruses A(H5N1), A(H5N6), A(H7N9) and A(H9N2)
