Managing iron and steel enterprises: study of innovative methods of industrial engineering (logistics approach)

Specifics of the logistics approach in managing an iron and steel enterprise is reviewed. Attention is focused on the logistics management issues; the areas of their solution are defined. The article proposes an economic mechanism for managing the logistics activities of iron and steel enterprises, including a set of consistent, mutually agreed management activities and measures that encompasses the cycle of assessing, analyzing and optimizing logistics activities and aims at achieving the performance goals. The mechanism is based on a system of methods, models and techniques and provides for the adjustment and control of deviations, thereby ensuring timely response to the deteriorating parameters of managing the logistics activities of an iron and steel enterprise

ІННОВАЦІЙНІ МЕТОДИ НАВЧАННЯ У ПІДГОТОВЦІ УЧАСНИКІВ ПРОФЕСІЙНО-ОРІЄНТОВАНИХ ОЛІМПІАД

The aim of the work – to present our own experience in using different forms of simulation technology in preparing professionally oriented оlympiad participants on the infectious diseases course. The main body. Innovative methods of teaching the course of infectious diseases in the higher medical school introduced by the authors for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of education are considered. The issues of conducting medical student’s olympiads on professional disciplines are elucidated in detail. The authors’ own experience of using the variants of imitation technology (case-study methods, role-playing games, “brain attack”) has been analyzed. Over the past five years, 53 undergraduate students have been teached on the basis of a student’s scientific course at the Department of Infectious Diseases in Dnipropetrovsk Medical Academy. Of these, 14 students directly participated in professionally oriented Olympiad at the annual Ukrainian Olympiads on infectious diseases. The result of productive training was taking of six prize-places in individual competitions and eight prize-places in team competitions. Сonclusions. Unlike the traditional forms of study, the implementation of active methods, on example of training for an Olympiad, allows to form the professional skills and active realization of acquired knowledge, model the integral content of individual work, thus shifting the center of significance from the process of transferring, processing and assimilating information to independent creative activity. Such an approach can allow a student to achieve high results both during the competition at the student’s olympiad, and in the future in the practical activity of forming the person of a competitive specialist.Мета роботи – представити власний досвід застосування різних варіантів імітаційної технології при підготовці учасників студентських олімпіад з професійного циклу “інфекційні хвороби”. Основна частина. Розглянуто інноваційні методики викладання курсу інфекційних хвороб у вищій медичній школі, впроваджені авторами з метою підвищення ефективності навчання. Докладно висвітлені питання проведення медичних студентських олімпіад з навчальних дисциплін професійного циклу. Проаналізовано власний досвід застосування варіантів імітаційної технології: методів case-study, рольових ігор, “мозкової атаки”. За останні 5 років на базі студентського наукового гуртка кафедри інфекційних хвороб ДЗ “Дніпропетровська медична академя МОЗ України” пройшла підготовка 53 студентів-бакалаврів. З них 14 студентів брали безпосередню участь у змаганнях на щорічних всеукраїнських олімпіадах з інфекційних хвороб. Результатом плідної підготовки стало здобуття 6 призових місць в індивідуальних змаганнях і 8 призових місць у командних змаганнях. Висновки. На відміну від традиційних форм навчання, впровадження активних методів, на прикладі підготовки до олімпіади, дозволяє формувати професійні вміння і діяльну реалізацію набутих знань, моделювати цілісний зміст самостійної роботи, при цьому зміщується центр значущості з процесу передачі, переробки і засвоєння інформації на самостійну творчу діяльність. Саме такий підхід може дозволити студенту набути високих результатів як під час змагання на студентській олімпіаді, так і надалі у практичній діяльності при формуванні особистості конкурентоспроможного фахівця

Массовое отравление таллием

We report the results of studies of clinical manifestations, chemical and toxico-logical tests, efficacy of complex treatment, which included antidote therapy, intestinal lavage and symptomatic treatment in patients with acute thallium poisoning, who were admitted to the Department of Acute Poisonings Treatment of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine or underwent outpatient treatment.Представлены результаты изучения клинических проявлений, химико-токсикологических исследований эффективности комплексного лечения, включающего антидотную терапию, кишечный лаваж и симптоматическое лечение пациентов с острым отравлением таллием, госпитализированных в отделение лечения острых отравлений НИИ СП им. Н.В. Склифосовского, а также проходивших амбулаторное лечение

Influence of calcium concentration on formation of tetravalent chromium doped Y3Al5O12 ceramics

Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (YAG) ceramics doped with chromium were prepared by solid-state reactive sintering in a vacuum. The influence of the charge compensator Ca2+ concentration on microstructure, optical properties and efficacy of Cr3+ oxidation to Cr4+ under air annealing was investigated. A non-monotonic dependence of these features on the amount of CaO as an additive was found. The changes in ceramic transparency and microstructure were explained considering the interaction between CaO and Cr2O3 at the ceramic grain boundaries, which leads to a different pore evolution in distinct samples during sintering. The efficacy of the oxidation of Cr3+ to Cr4+ strongly depends on the concentration of Ca dissolved in the YAG. The calcium solubility decreases due to the higher oxygen partial pressure of the extra phases on the grain boundaries that decreases the amount of generated Cr4+ ions. Such phenomenon explains the lower concentration of Cr4+ ions in the sample with 0.8% of Ca against the one with 0.5%. The experiment shows that the ceramic with 0.5% of Ca has a better in-line transmission and a higher concentration of Cr4+ ions in comparison with samples with a different Ca concentration
