Application of NMR spectroscopy in predicting hydrogel matrix stability by “stress” testing method

The results of the study of hydrogel matrix stability by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are described in the article. Ionizing radiation effect on auxiliary substances and active ingredients of hydrogel polymeric matrixes have been studied. It has been proved that under the influence of high-velocity electrons at absorbed doses 25–35 kGy the formation of a three-dimensional polymeric structure of the matrix occurs. It has been ascertained that active ingredients of hydrogels miramistin and gentamycin are stable under absorbed radiation doses in the range 5–35 kGy

The Use of Mechanically Activated Micronized Coal in Thermal Power Engineering

Coal is one of the main energy resources and development of new promising technologies on its basis is certainly topical. This article discusses the use of new technology of gas and fuel oil replacement by mechanically activated micronized coal in power engineering: ignition and stabilization of pulverized coal flame combustion, as well as gasification of micronized coal in the flow. The new technology coal combustion with two stages of grinding is suggested. Optimization of the scheme of two-stage combustion is calculated. The first experimental data on the combustion process are obtained. The first demonstration tests on gas and heavy oil replacement by micronized coal during boiler ignition were carried out in the real power boiler with the capacity of 320 tons of steam per hour

Characteristics of Personal Value Motivational Sphere in Psychologists and Psychiatrists

Introduction. This study investigates the characteristics of personal value motivational sphere in psychologists and psychiatrists at the stage of professional self-realization. Previous studies in this field have mainly been focused on studying the formation of psychological readiness for work at the stage of professional training or when entering into professional activity. Further stages of the professionalization of physicians and psychologists are most often considered in the context of professional burnout. The presence of stressful situations and emotional tension are characteristic of professional activities of psychologists and psychiatrists. This study compares the characteristics of value motivational sphere in these professional groups. Methods. The study used the following techniques: (a) Diagnostics of Personal Motivational Structure, (b) Personality Orientation, (c) Cognitive Orientation, (d) MAS, (e) Motivation of Affiliation, (f) Motivation of Labor Activity, (g) Value Orientations, (h) Assessment of Satisfaction of Needs by the Method of Paired Comparisons, and (i) Degree of Tension. The differences between the two groups were assessed using Fisher’s angular transformation. Results. This study revealed certain differences in personal value motivational sphere in psychiatrists and psychologists. In the group of psychiatrists personal motivational orientation is more related to social status and livelihood. General activity and social utility are most important characteristics in the group of psychologists. Besides, psychologists are characterized by a high level of cognitive needs; needs for self-realization and social needs are more important for psychiatrists. The findings of the study correlate well with the characteristics of value orientations. Thus, the instrumental value of ‘education’ is more important for psychologists; the value of ‘tolerance’ is more important for psychiatrists. Discussion. The authors suggest that in the process of professional self-realization certain characteristics of value motivational sphere in psychiatrists and psychologists may contribute to the formation of their successful professional activity. On the contrary, there are characteristics of value motivational sphere that may lead to emotional burnout

Quality of life, psychological and autonomic nervous system assessment in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Сахарный диабет приводит к стойкой потере работоспособности и снижению качества жизни пациентов. Проведенное исследование позволило выявить некоторую закономерность: показано существование прямой связи между наличием избыточной массы тела, гликемическим контролем и уровнем качества жизни пациентов с сахарным диабетом 2 типа. Наибольший показатель качества жизни был ассоциирован с наилучшим в выборке гликемическим контролем и отсутствием у пациентов избыточной массы тела; проявления вегетативной дисфункции у пациентов с сахарным диабетом 2 типа на фоне избыточной массы тела могут значительно влиять на качество жизни наравне с другими факторами.Prevalence of chronic disease is traditionally measured with morbidity and mortality assessment, but in the recent years health-related quality of life is being given more and more attention. Diabetes is a major cause of permanent disability and significant decrease in quality of life

Влияние природы функциональных групп химических модификаторов на термическую стабильность нефтяного битума

It has been established that introduction of adhesives, containing groups reactive towards asphaltens, into the bitumen causes its colloid structure change. This in turn affects the irreversible change processes caused by air oxygen and elevated temperature. Maximal deceleration of thermo-oxidative destruction processes is effected by additives containing phosphate groups, either individually or together with amino groups, as the result of their interaction with bitumen asphaltens.Исследовано влияние адгезионных добавок, содержащих аминогруппы, свободные кислотные группы фосфорной кислоты, а также композицию этих групп, на изменение коллоидной структуры битума и оценена возможность ее стабилизации к процессам термоокислительной деструкции. Установлено, что максимальным модифицирующим эффектом, проявляющимся в повышении структурирующего и термостабилизирующего действия для нефтяного битума, обладают добавки, в состав которых входят фосфорсодержащие группы как в индивидуальном виде, так и в композиции с аминогруппами, что обусловлено их взаимодействием с асфальтенами битума

Problematic Aspects of Forest Management on Defense Lands

The article considers the historical aspects and the current state of forest management on lands provided for defense purposes. The problems of the organization of forest management by the subjects of forestry activity, the governing body of which is the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, are studied. The analysis conducted by the author of the article allowed him to conclude that since 1991 the main purpose of the creation and operation in the field of defense of forestry units has been constantly changing and distorted. At the time of its establishment in 1949, military forestries provided for the organization of exemplary forestry and reproduction of forests on defense lands around military airfields, training grounds, military arsenals, etc. Instead, at present, the main purpose of forestry entities, the governing body of which is the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, has been reduced to making a profit. In addition, the abuse of officials at various levels and the inaction of the Defense Ministry, as a property management body, led to the unjustified alienation of land and means of production, which forestry units were endowed with during the creation and operation. The groundlessness of the alienation of the property of forestry units of the Defense Ministry, according to the author, is due to the special status of the property of military forestries. The analysis of the national legislation showed that with the independence of Ukraine the property of the institutions and organizations that were part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine acquired the status of military property. Therefore, the alienation of such property is impossible without the adoption of appropriate decisions by the Government of Ukraine. Also, according to the author, in today's realities forest management on defense lands should be organized by non-profit forestry units from the sphere of management of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine
