Application of Professional Standards of the Specialists of the Sphere of Social Service

The article reviews the first results of application of professional standards of the sphere of social service in the regions of the Russian Federation in accordance with legal requirements: “Psychologist in the social sphere”, “Head of the institution of medical and social expertise”, “Head of the social service organization”, “Social worker”, “Specialist of the guardianship agency for minors”, “Specialist in medical and social expertise”, “Specialist in the provision of public services in the employment of the population sphere”, “Family work specialist”, “Specialist in rehabilitation work in the social sphere”, “Social work specialist”, “Touch sign language interpreter”. A generalized experience of application of professional standards in social service organizations is presented on the basis of monitoring results organized by the Federal State Budgetary Institution "All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Labor" of the Ministry of Labor of Russia. The main problems of application of professional standards and ways of their solution are discussed

[Features of pathological changes in patients with different types of pancreatic pseudocyst]

Background. A growing number of patients with pancreatic pseudocyst on the background of acute or chronic pancreatitis or due to injury of the pancreas encourages scientists to study the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease. Objective. Тo study morphological features of various types of wall structure and adjacent parenchyma of pseudocyst using histochemical techniques. Methods. Resected pancreatic specimens taken intraoperative from 47 patients were used as a material. Results. Patients of the first group with forming acute pseudocyst on the background of acute destructive pancreatitis, characterized by severe circulatory disorders in pancreas, destructive changes of all structural components of the gland with subsequent development of reactive inflammatory response to injury in the form of diffuse or focal leukocyte infiltration of the stroma and the parenchyma and signs of original reparative process. In all patients of the second group with postnecrotic chronic pseudocyst the wall of pseudocyst was represented by granulation tissue and fibrous layer. In the surrounding pancreatic tissues it was revealed morphological signs of chronic pancreatitis with fibrotic stromal changes and chronic inflammatory infiltration, parenchymal atrophy and restructuring of false acinar lobules, metaplasia of their cell. All patients of the third group demonstrated a pronounced fibrosis of the stroma with atrophy of parenchyma and restructuring of all components of the pancreas: the formation of false acinar lobules, compensatory hypertrophy of islet apparatus,restructuring of ductal system of pancreas, formation of retention pseudocyst with a fibrous wall lined with epithelium with signs of hyperplasia and metaplasia. Conclusion. Morphological changes that occur during formation of pseudocyst lead to organ dysfunction and should be considered as an adverse pathological process that requires surgical correction.

Regression model for selecting the correction parameter for images damaged by backlighting

Мы рассматриваем задачу выбора параметра для коррекции изображений поврежденных задней засветкой. Основным предметом исследования являются фотографии, на которых запечатлён недоэкспонированный объект при контровом освещении, что приводит к появлению темных областей с плохо различимыми деталями. Выбираемым параметром коррекции является коэффициента усиления локального контраста в тени. Для решения задачи предлагается использовать регрессионную модель, целевая переменная которой есть значение определяемого параметра. В работе сравниваются различные методы машинного обучения для построения модели. Проблема формирования большой репрезентативной выборки решается использованием подхода, при котором модель сама собирает себе новые данные с ресурсов Flickr.com и vk.com. Для описания изображений предлагаются и сравниваются несколько наборов признаков. The paper is devoted to the problem of selection the correction parameter for images damaged by backlighting. The main subject of our research are photos in which an underexposed object is captured in backlit conditions. It leads to the appearance of dark areas with poorly discernible details. The correction parameter controls level of amplification of local contrast in shadow tones. Our approach is based on using of regression model. Its target variable is the value of our parameter. We explore and compare the models are built by various machine-learning-based methods. We propose an approach to solve the problem of formation a large representative sample in which the model collects new data to itself from such resources as Flickr.com and vk.com. Several sets of features are analysed and compared. Proposed approach demonstrates good results for photos damaged by backlighting
