Improvement of the paradigm of service
Now science about service as the modern type of service, is at a stage of evolutionary development. Therefore, there are numerous views concerning their essence and mechanisms. We, in this work considered some modern views about concepts service, attempt to give new definitions of concepts service, serving and service is mad
Youth Extremist Attitudes Driven By Destabilization of Traditional Culture
The paper considers a relevant and burning issue of youth extremism. The authors analyze the reasons for radical and extreme attitudes of the youth and state that extremism among youth is caused by destabilization of the traditional culture. The core of the traditional culture is purposefully destabilized by creating some pseudo-scientific problems and assigning heroic features to minor people in history. Many young people are conscious in their choice of traditionalism with different archaic violence practices which try to openly challenge the modern civility standardized under liberal capitalism and a consumerist society. Mass culture extensively contributes into the development and expansion of the youth extremism patterns. The paper underlines that overall social psychological attitude and confidence of young people in their future, a developed self-consciousness and tradition succession play a huge role in combatting extremism among the youth. Traditional behavioral aspects could oppose extremist manifestations which are rejected at a deep ethnical level of culture, because they contradict its nature and search for development in the today’s world.

Synthesis and bioactivity of new analogue of Bicyclic 1-Azafagomine
New (S)-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridazin-3-yl)methanol was synthesized by Lewis acid catalyzed and self-assembled Diels-Alder (LACASA-DA) cycloaddition reaction using (S)-BINOL as a chiral inductor. The N-2 pyridazine position was protected, the hydroxyl group was carbonylated to form the new bicyclic structure. The protective group was removed and the double bond was dihydroxylated leading to the target compound. Removal of the protective group was performed using a newly found ecofriendly catalyst for N-Boc deprotection. The final iminosugar derivative 7 and all newly synthesized intermediates, were investigated against S. aureus and E. coli bacteria and were found to show promising activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.- (undefined
Parametric phenomena of the particle dynamics in a periodic gravitational wave field
We establish exactly solvable models for the motion of neutral particles,
electrically charged point and spin particles (U(1) symmetry), isospin
particles (SU(2) symmetry), and particles with color charges (SU(3) symmetry)
in a gravitational wave background. Special attention is devoted to parametric
effects induced by the gravitational field. In particular, we discuss
parametric instabilities of the particle motion and parametric oscillations of
the vectors of spin, isospin, and color charge.Comment: 26 pages, to be published in J. Math. Phy

Acylation Reaction of Polystyrene with Organic Anhydrides and Investigation of the Physico-Mechanical Properties
The acylation reaction of polystyrene with organic anhydrides, such as maleic and ace-tic anhydrides were investigated in the presence of cationic catalysis (AlCl3, BF3В·O(C2H5)2, FeCl3, SnCl4, TiCl4, ZnCl2), to synthesise some polyfunctional (carbonyl-, carboxyl-, keto-, olefinic) polystyrene. The incorporation of functional groups to polystyrene were caused an increase of adhesion capability, physico-mechanical properties, elasticity and photosensitivity polyfunctional product
Antiremodelling Efficacy and Clinical Safety of Zofenopril in Patients with Grade 1and 2 Hypertension
Objective: to estimate the antihypertensive, antiremodelling efficacy and clinical tolerability of the monotherapy with Zofenopril in patients with Grade 1 and 2 hypertension (HT 1 and 2)
Materials and Methods: The study included 30 patients aged from 30 to 60 years with HT 1 and 2 (ESH/ESC, 2013) without severe comorbidities and cardiovascular complications. Zofenopril was prescribed as monotherapy to HT patients who had never been treated before or patients after one week of lavage from previous antihypertensive therapy, who did not reach target levels of BP. Before and during treatment all patients were checked on office BP using Korotkov’s method and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Echocardiography and Doppler sonography were carried out by standard methods using the recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography. Intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery and brachial artery was measured by a 7.5MHz high-resolution ultrasound. Assessment of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery was used as a method of determining endothelial function.
Results: A 12-week monotherapy with Zofenopril in average daily dose of 36.0±19.54 mg showed a high antihypertensive efficacy and a good safety profile without side effects. We noted a reliable decrease in systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), mean BP, and pulse pressure (PP) by -19.53±5.93%, -18.64±7.18%, BP -19.05±6.14%, and -20.65±12.07%, respectively. Target SBP, DBP, and SBP+DBP were reached in 90%, 86.6%, and 83.3% of patients, respectively. We found a significant regression of LVH, significant improvement in volume indicators of LV echogeometry and parameters of FMD of the brachial artery, as well as a decrease in IMT of carotid and brachial arteries. Monotherapy with Zofenopril showed metabolic neutrality regarding the lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, a good safety profile without the side effects and undesired events
Antimony-Doped Tin(II) Sulfide Thin Films
Thin-film solar cells made from earth-abundant, inexpensive, and nontoxic materials are needed to replace the current technologies whose widespread use is limited by their use of scarce, costly, and toxic elements. Tin monosulfide (SnS) is a promising candidate for making absorber layers in scalable, inexpensive, and nontoxic solar cells. SnS has always been observed to be a p-type semiconductor. Doping SnS to form an n-type semiconductor would permit the construction of solar cells with p-n homojunctions. This paper reports doping SnS films with antimony, a potential n-type dopant. Small amounts of antimony (1%) were found to greatly increase the electrical resistance of the SnS. The resulting intrinsic SnS(Sb) films could be used for the insulating layer in a p-i-n design for solar cells. Higher concentrations (5%) of antimony did not convert the SnS(Sb) to low-resistivity n-type conductivity, but instead the films retain such a high resistance that the conductivity type could not be determined. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis reveals that the highly doped films contain precipitates of a secondary phase that has chemical bonds characteristic of metallic antimony, rather than the antimony–sulfur bonds found in films with lower concentrations of antimony.United States.

Immunoglobulin, glucocorticoid, or combination therapy for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children: a propensity-weighted cohort study
Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a hyperinflammatory condition associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, has emerged as a serious illness in children worldwide. Immunoglobulin or glucocorticoids, or both, are currently recommended treatments. Methods: The Best Available Treatment Study evaluated immunomodulatory treatments for MIS-C in an international observational cohort. Analysis of the first 614 patients was previously reported. In this propensity-weighted cohort study, clinical and outcome data from children with suspected or proven MIS-C were collected onto a web-based Research Electronic Data Capture database. After excluding neonates and incomplete or duplicate records, inverse probability weighting was used to compare primary treatments with intravenous immunoglobulin, intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, or glucocorticoids alone, using intravenous immunoglobulin as the reference treatment. Primary outcomes were a composite of inotropic or ventilator support from the second day after treatment initiation, or death, and time to improvement on an ordinal clinical severity scale. Secondary outcomes included treatment escalation, clinical deterioration, fever, and coronary artery aneurysm occurrence and resolution. This study is registered with the ISRCTN registry, ISRCTN69546370. Findings: We enrolled 2101 children (aged 0 months to 19 years) with clinically diagnosed MIS-C from 39 countries between June 14, 2020, and April 25, 2022, and, following exclusions, 2009 patients were included for analysis (median age 8·0 years [IQR 4·2–11·4], 1191 [59·3%] male and 818 [40·7%] female, and 825 [41·1%] White). 680 (33·8%) patients received primary treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin, 698 (34·7%) with intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, 487 (24·2%) with glucocorticoids alone; 59 (2·9%) patients received other combinations, including biologicals, and 85 (4·2%) patients received no immunomodulators. There were no significant differences between treatments for primary outcomes for the 1586 patients with complete baseline and outcome data that were considered for primary analysis. Adjusted odds ratios for ventilation, inotropic support, or death were 1·09 (95% CI 0·75–1·58; corrected p value=1·00) for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids and 0·93 (0·58–1·47; corrected p value=1·00) for glucocorticoids alone, versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Adjusted average hazard ratios for time to improvement were 1·04 (95% CI 0·91–1·20; corrected p value=1·00) for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, and 0·84 (0·70–1·00; corrected p value=0·22) for glucocorticoids alone, versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Treatment escalation was less frequent for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids (OR 0·15 [95% CI 0·11–0·20]; p<0·0001) and glucocorticoids alone (0·68 [0·50–0·93]; p=0·014) versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Persistent fever (from day 2 onward) was less common with intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids compared with either intravenous immunoglobulin alone (OR 0·50 [95% CI 0·38–0·67]; p<0·0001) or glucocorticoids alone (0·63 [0·45–0·88]; p=0·0058). Coronary artery aneurysm occurrence and resolution did not differ significantly between treatment groups. Interpretation: Recovery rates, including occurrence and resolution of coronary artery aneurysms, were similar for primary treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin when compared to glucocorticoids or intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids. Initial treatment with glucocorticoids appears to be a safe alternative to immunoglobulin or combined therapy, and might be advantageous in view of the cost and limited availability of intravenous immunoglobulin in many countries.
