THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOVIET STATE SYSTEM IN 1918-1940 (AS IN THE CASE OF INDIVIDUAL POWER STRUCTURES)
Purpose: This paper examines the problems of changing the systems of the structures of governance in the first years of the existence of Soviet rule using the example of the armed forces, the redistribution of powers between them, the strengthening of the administrative influence of individual departments on the most important decisions in this area.
Methodology: The basis of scientific research is the dialectical materialist method, which allows revealing the patterns of development of the relevant legal industry and suggesting the most likely options for the development of legislation and law enforcement practice. In addition, the authors use the historical-chronological method, the historical-systemic method, the formal-logical method, the method of comparative law, the system-structural method, the technical-legal method, etc.
Result: a dramatic change in internal political line with the advent of the Bolsheviks predetermined the sweeping changes in the approaches to public administration. Having no experience in organizing public authority, the leaders of the revolutionary movement proposed and approved numerous ideas related to improving the efficiency of the management of uniformed services, which was very important in the conditions of the civil war and foreign intervention.
Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students.
Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of the development of the Soviet state system in 1918-1940 is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner
Application of a biomedical hardware-software complex for the study of ultradian rhythms by heart rate variability
The article presents the results of the study of ultradian rhythms by amplitudes (A) and periods (T) of spectral characteristics (HF, LF, VLF, ULF) of the heart rate variability method using the HOLTERLIVE software package in ISCIM6.0 statistical processing in men, participants in a trans latitudinal flight and landing on the Arctic islands. The analysis of THF and TLF of the shows the symmetry and stability of adaptive reactions, while the range of ultra-slow (TVLF) and ultra-slow (TULF) waves shows the asymmetry and instability of the adaptive processes of the body of participants in a trans-latitude flight and landing on the Arctic islands. The transitions of the amplitude (A) and periods (T) of the power of harmonics from symmetry to asymmetry revealed in the examined people characterize the transitional states in the regulation's control of the heart rhythm
Comparative characteristics of ultradian rhythms of critical infrastructure employees under various conditions of professional activity
The article gives a comparative description of the ultradian rhythms of workers in critical infrastructures in various conditions of professional activity. In connection with the need to conduct repair and adjustment work, workers in critical infrastructures carry out their labor activities, often migrating to areas remote from their permanent place of residence. The study of the relevance to the health and functional capabilities of the body of workers in critical infrastructures according to ultradian rhythms has not been sufficiently studied. The study used the software-statistical complexes “Varicard” and “HolterLive” in the statistical processing “ISCIM6.0”. The HRV indicators were studied in a group of ground service workers in the usual natural and climatic production conditions and in a group of landing on the Arctic islands to perform repair and adjustment work. Studies have established that both groups experienced an energy-deficient state, which reduces resistance and causes an overstrain of the adaptation mechanisms of the autonomic nervous system in controlling the regulation of the heart rhythm. The results of the study showed that intense workload in extreme conditions of extreme professional activity negatively affects the state of health characteristic of maladaptation
Potential Chonobiological Triggering Factors of Acute Heart Attack
Abstract: The immediate triggers of acute heart attack or acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are not known exactly. There is a marked increase in sympathetic activity, neuroendocrino-logical dysfunction, oxidative stress and deficiency of 3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, as well as antioxidants during ACS. Energy intake and expenditure have diurnal variation throughout 24-hour cycle and any disturbance in this cycle may result into disruption of the endogenous clock and neurohumoral dysfunctions. Clinical studies have reported an increased incidence of reinfarction, sudden death, coronary constriction, myocardial ischaemia, vascular variability disorders and angina, during second quarter of the 24 hour cycle, at the point where there is rapid withdrawal of vagal activity and increase in sympathetic tone. In several studies, among patients with heart attack, there was a significant 2-3 fold increase in cardiac events in the second quarter of the day (6-12 hours) compared to other quarters respectively. Triggers of heart attack were noted in up to 80.0% of patients in various studies. Brain related and psychological mechanisms, i.e., emotional stress, sleep deprivation, cold climate, hot climate, large meals and physical exertion were observed among 30-50% of patients. Such triggers have also been reported in Europe, North America and Asia. These triggering factors are known to enhance sympathetic activity and decrease vagal tone, resulting into increased secretion of plasma cortisol, noradrenaline, aldosterone, angiotensin converting enzyme, interleukin-1, 2, 6, 18 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, that are proinflammatory. There is also a deficiency in the serum levels of 3 fatty acids, vitamin A, E, C, coenzyme Q10, magnesium, potassium, melatonin, interleukin-10 (antiinflammatory) and increase in TBARS, MDA, diene conjugates, TNF-alpha and IL-6, which are indicators of oxidative damage and inflammation, respectively. It is not clear whether the predisposition of ACS is due to size of the meals or other proinflammatory factors of meals
Effects of Prayer and Meditation on Circadian Dysfunction
Prayer, meditation and mindfulness have been commonly used for healing in Vedic, Jainism, Buddhism, Egyptian, Greek and Mesopotemian cultures [1]. In Buddhism, mindfulness is a component of Eight Fold Path, therefore using mindfulness in the modern science is not absolutely correct. A definition of prayers of Mesopotamia was “praise to god followed by request.” The ancient mystic Hinduism wrote Rigveda prayer, Figure 1.
Meditation and prayer appear to be important practices for the management of emotional and spiritual wellbeing [1-4]. Prayer may also influence the physiology of circadian rhythms in our body and it has evolved possibly as adaptation to the rotation of the earth around its axis [4]. Circadian rhythms account for increased activity of the sympathetic nerves of the autonomic nervous system with marked releases of cortisol, catecholamines (norepinephrine and adrenaline), testosterone and thyroid hormones. In turn, these neurotransmitters and hormones occur at a circadian stage when endogenous melatonin level is decreased to low values in the morning [4]. There is a need to prevent the circadian rhythm of adverse biological functions observed between 6.00 to 12.00 hours during the day, because circadian dysfunction can predispose to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The circadian dysfunction may worsen due to risk factors, although protective factors such as prayer, meditation and moderate physical activity may prevent circadian dysfunction [2-4]. The aim of the present study is to emphasize the beneficial role of prayer, mindfulness and meditation in the protection against circadian dysregulation in the body, thereby preventing CVDs, especially sudden cardiac death (SCD)
Analysis of Ionicity-Magnetism Competition in 2D-MX3 Halides towards a Low-Dimensional Materials Study Based on GPU-Enabled Computational Systems
The acceleration of parallel high-throughput first-principle calculations in the context of 3D (three dimensional) periodic boundary conditions for low-dimensional systems, and particularly 2D materials, is an important issue for new material design. Where the scalability rapidly deflated due to the use of large void unit cells along with a significant number of atoms, which should mimic layered structures in the vacuum space. In this report, we explored the scalability and performance of the Quantum ESPRESSO package in the hybrid central processing unit - graphics processing unit (CPU-GPU) environment. The study carried out in the comparison to CPU-based systems for simulations of 2D magnets where significant improvement of computational speed was achieved based on the IBM ESSL SMP CUDA library. As an example of physics-related results, we have computed and discussed the ionicity-covalency and related ferro- (FM) and antiferro-magnetic (AFM) exchange competitions computed for some CrX3 compounds. Further, it has been demonstrated how this exchange interplay leads to high-order effects for the magnetism of the 1L-RuCl3 compound

Assessment of driver biorhythms as a factor of labor safety
The paper provides a biorhythmological assessment of the health of a driver’s team in conditions of joint activity in terms of heart rate variability. Measurements were taken during the working day using Holter monitoring in AnnaFlash2000 software and statistical processing ISCIM6. The cardiogram of the heart was recorded during the working day from 8.00 to 18.00 hours. It was revealed that the rhythmic processes of acrophase and heart rate bathyphase, which testify to the leading role of hypoxia, hypercapnia and desynchronosis of ultradian rhythms, influence the joint professional activity of drillers. The examined drivers found a violation of the synchronization of biological rhythms and desynchronosis at various levels of regulation of heart rhythm regulation. Both drivers, working in different biological rhythms, have a low degree of compatibility and belong to the group of production risk, which negatively affects occupational safety
Assessment of public health of production workers according to HRV
The study of the social health of labour resources as human capital is an actual problem. In production workers, the vegetative status was studied in terms of heart rate variability. By the concept of autonomic reactivity A.M. Greenberg, the results of the study found that the vegetative status of male employees and workers differs. The employees performing functions related to the organization of the production process showed general sympathicotonia. Workers performing specific production tasks have a general sympathicotonia. The results of the study found that vegetative status makes it possible to assess the social health of production workers. In the context of the intensive introduction of neural networks and nanotechnology into industrial production, the number of employees will increase. As a result, there will be an increase in the likelihood of cardio- respiratory system diseases among this contingent of workers. This will entail the development of corrective programs for the prevention of diseases of the cardiovascular system, and the introduction of changes in the classifier of occupational diseases
