Woodworking facilities: Driving efficiency through Automation applied to major process steps

The investment scenario applied to forestry development analyzes the fundamental changes in the production structure, among other things. These changes refer to the priority development of the pulp and paper industry through the chain of large-scale woodworking facilities, where pulp, paper and cardboard manufacturing plants are the key links. Such facilities include sawmilling facilities, wood-processing factories, and timber factories. Those provide a significant economic benefit, so improving them is one of the top priorities. Considering this priority is the purpose of this article. The goal was achieved using common and scientific research methods, including mathematical modeling. Theoretical research resulted in three sets of formulas adapted for evaluating the pulpwood barking from theoretical findings on image recognition. © 2018 Authors

Method of variational calculation of influence of the propulsion plants of forestry machines upon the frozen and thawing soil grounds

The forests, which grow in the conditions of complete expansion of the perpetually frozen ground, are unique forests in accordance with their taxational characteristics, quality indicators of the felled timber, and the ecological functions, which these forests perform in the nature. They are characterised by the low biological productivity, as well as by the high vulnerability due to climatological changes and human economic activities. It is fair to say that conservation of the permafrost is one of the main functions of the forests, which grow within the cryolithozone. Because of this, it is necessary to ensure special regimes for the forestry management and forest exploitation within the forests of the cryolithozone. We formulated the variational problem in order to determine influence of the changeability of the physical and mechanical properties of the thawing soil ground at the boundary with the permafrost ground. © 2019 SERSC

Associating anxiety and depression in quantitative evaluation using HADS in patients with anxiety symptoms

The current research aimed at finding out correlations between clinically proved complexes of anxiety symptoms of varying genesis and anxiety and depression quantitatively assessed using HADS as well as finding out interrelations of anxiety and depression as evaluated using HADS in complex anxiety symptoms within the structure of various forms of mental disorders. 100 patients, both male and female, underwent clinical investigation. Mental disorders were diagnosed in accordance with research and diagnostic ICD-10 criteria. Anxiety and depression severity were evaluated according to HADS. Anxiety severity was significantly associated with other phobic and anxiety disorders and with prolonged depressive reaction resulting from maladaptation. Depression severity assessed according to HADS was highly and positively associated with depressive episode of average severity accompanied by somatic disorders, with some other somatoform disorder, other mixed anxiety disorders, paranoid schizophrenia (episodic type), paranoid and dissocial personality disorders. High degree of anxiety and depression interrelation (HADS) was observed for the sample group as a whole and for particular clinically proved complexes of anxiety symptoms of various genesis.Целью исследования было выявление корреляционных связей клинически очерченных тревожных симптомокомплексов разного генеза с количественно оцененными по госпитальной шкале тревоги и депрессии (HADS) тревогой и депрессией, а также интеркорреляций тревоги и депрессии по HADS при тревожных симптомокомплексах в структуре разных форм психической патологии. Клинически исследовано 100 пациентов обоего пола. Психические расстройства диагностировались в соответствии с исследовательскими диагностическими критериями МКБ-10. Выраженность тревоги и депрессии оценивалась по HADS. Выраженность тревоги по HADS была значимо ассоциирована с другими фобическими и тревожными расстройствами и с пролонгированной депрессивной реакцией, обусловленной расстройством адаптации. Выраженность депрессии по HADS высоко и значимо позитивно ассоциирована с депрессивным эпизодом средней степени тяжести с соматическими симптомами, с другим соматоформным расстройством, с другими смешанными тревожными расстройствами, с параноидной шизофренией (эпизодическим типом течения), с параноидным и диссоциальным расстройствами личности. Обнаружена высокая степень интеркорреляции тревоги и депрессии (HADS) для выборки в целом и для отдельных клинически очерченных тревожных симптомокомплексов разного генеза

Using E-Learning Tools to Enhance Students- Mathematicians’ Competences in the Context of International Academic Mobility Programmes

Introduction. The article is concerned with the use of special electronic teaching tools to increase the students’ understanding of the subject and adaptation to the professional language environment of the host country, taking into account the mathematical education. Our purpose is to develop a methodology of multilingual support of mathematical courses in the host country to improve the effectiveness of students’ academic mobility using e-learning tools. Materials and Methods. The basis of the research was methods of system analysis and descriptive and analytical methods, primarily experimental. To identify advantages of the proposed approach the methods of empirical research were used (observation and comparison). To prove the efficiency, classical methods of measurement were used. Results. We analyzed the existing electronic learning environments and defined an e-learning environment Math-Bridge that allows for creating mathematical courses in several languages in parallel. For example, the e-training course “Optimization Methods” was developed in three languages for training Russian-speaking Master programme students. The comparative analysis of the target and control student’s groups showed that 100 % of the students in the target group achieved an excellent level of mastering competencies, while the control group has only 75 %. For the control group, the degree of motivation to mathematical studying has not virtually changed (increase by 0,86 %). In the target group the level of student interest to the mathematics increased from 0,9 % to 8,9 % (mean 2.21 %). Discussion and Conclusion. The results described in the article will be useful for the staff of international departments, administrations and deans, as well as teachers of those universities that participate in the students’ international academic mobility programmes
