Creating common epistemic spaces through multimodal stance-taking practices
No full textThe chapter, written by Valentyna Ushchyna, stands out in this volume, as it deals rather with real-life online communication than with artistic discourse. The author shows the linguistic ways epistemic stancetaking becomes an integral part of the shared epistemic spaces creation, where the dynamics and ecology of meaning-making presupposes interaction and collaboration. To be more specific, the focus of this study is on the epistemic stancetaking in COVID-19 discourse. Because knowledge concerning COVID-19 is insufficient, epistemic possibilities build upon uncertainty and unpredictability. The study uses objective hermeneutic approach as the methodological framework that allows disclosing of the concealed structures of discourse and enables explanation of the complex processes of social semiosis in post-modern computerized society. Within objective hermeneutic paradigm, analysis of stancetaking presupposes taking into account personal attitudes of individual speakers (stance-takers) along with the domineering social structures framing their discursive actions and interactions

Abstract
Markers of infectious-inflammatory process were studied by determining the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines - interleukin (IL) 1 and IL-6 and proteins of the acute phase of inflammation - C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen in the serum of children with community-acquired pneumonia.
It was found that the course of community-acquired pneumonia is accompanied by an increase in serum concentrations of IL-1 and IL-6 in children in parallel with the disease severity. The synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines stimulates the production of acute CRP, but reduces the concentration of fibrinogen in the serum of sick children. The revealed connections between the content of the studied cytokines at the systemic level and multidirectional changes in the indicators of the acute phase of inflammation indicate a violation of the liver, where proteins are synthesized in the study.
It is shown that with increasing severity of pneumonia, the enzyme activity of aminotransferases - alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the serum of children increases with a simultaneous decrease in the de Ritis coefficient, indicating "hepatic" genesis. High levels of aminotransferase is closely correlated with the activity of the infectious-inflammatory process, as indicated by the positive correlation between the level of IL-1 and ALT (r = 0.047) and AST (r = 0.111). At the same time, there is a negative correlation between the levels of IL-1, CRP and the activity of aminotransferases in blood serum.
Key words: cytokines; C-reactive protein; fibrinogen; alanine aminotransferase; aspartate aminotransferase; liver; community-acquired pneumonia in children; early age
Dynamics of changes in the level of IgA in patients with bronchial asthma against the background of excessive body weight or obesity
No full textAmong patients with asthma, a lot of attention is being given to, at the present time, to such comorbidity as excessive body mass (EBM) or obesity. Aim. To evaluate the level of IgA in patients with bronchial asthma against the background of excessive body weight or obesity and to evaluate the effects of drug on the bacterial lysate and inosine pranobex. According to the design, the study was conducted in two stages: the frst stage – examination of 105 patients with asthma. 105 patients with a basic diagnosis of asthma were examined whose average age was 41.19 ± 1.05 years, 75 patients were found to have EBM or obesity (BMI 31.67 ± 0.53) who were included in the main group and 30 patients with NBMI (BMI 22.13 ± 0.32), which were the comparison group. The patients in the main group with a severe course had signifcantly lower serum IgA values than the patients in the comparison group (p<0.05), but the statistically signifcant difference between this index in the patients with a severe course in the main group and the control group was not revealed. The patients in the main group had a signifcant increase in the level of secret IgA against the background of the use of treatment-and-prophylactic complex (TPC) with the inclusion of a preparation of bacterial lysate in combination with inosine pranobex against the background of training in asthma school, receiving the basic treatment (p<0.05). Patients with asthma who have large BMI have a more severe course of bronchial asthma. A Correlation relationship was established in the group of patients with bronchial asthma and with excessive body weight or obesity between the level of sIgA and the severity of the asthma course; there is a direct strong correlation. Patients in the main group had a signifcant increase in the level of sIgA against the background of the use of TPC with the addition of a basic treatment by the preparation of bacterial lysate together with inosine pranobex

The latest opinions regarding the vaccination of children with type 1 diabetes
No full textIntroduction. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is the most common endocrine disease of
childhood. Every year, the number of patients is constantly increasing worldwide. Due to poor
carbohydrate metabolism, patients with type 1 diabetes are more susceptible to infectious
diseases.
Material and methods. A structured search was performed in PubMed and HINARI, using
English search terms: vaccination, type 1 diabetes, children, viral infections, bacterial infections.
Results. Practitioners and scientists should encourage children with type 1 diabetes and
their parents to get vaccinated. However, it should be remembered that due to metabolic
changes in people living with type 1 diabetes, the immune response to vaccination may be
insufficient. When analyzing the current data, we did not determine which vaccination regimens and which type of vaccine is more suitable for patients living with type 1 diabetes. At
the beginning of the century, there were myths in the scientific world that vaccinating children with type 1 diabetes is not appropriate, but today we know that this is not right and
that everything must be done the other way around.
Conclusions. Today, our research and scientific studies continue to develop a more rational
approach to vaccinating children and adults living with type 1 diabetes.Diabetul zaharat de tip 1 (T1DM) este cea mai frecventă boală endocrină a copilăriei. În fiecare an, numărul de pacienți la nivel mondial este în continuă creștere. Din cauza metabolismului deficitar al carbohidraților, pacienții cu diabet de tip 1 sunt mai sensibili la maladiile
infecțioase.
Material și metode. A fost efectuată o cercetare structurată în PubMed și HINARI, folosind
termenii în limba engleză: „vaccinare”, „diabet de tip 1”, „copii”, „infecții virale”, „infecții bacteriene”.
Rezultate. Practicienii și oamenii de știință ar trebui să încurajeze copiii cu diabet de tip 1
și părinții acestora să se vaccineze. Cu toate acestea, trebuie amintit faptul că, din cauza modificărilor metabolice, la persoanele care au diabet de tip 1, răspunsul imunitar la vaccinare
poate fi insuficient. În urma analizei datelor actuale, nu am stabilit ce regimuri de vaccinare
și ce tip de vaccin este mai potrivit pentru pacienții cu diabet de tip 1. La începutul secolului,
în lumea științifică circulau unele mituri conform cărora vaccinarea copiilor cu diabet de tip
1 este contraindicată, dar în zilele noastre știm că acest lucru este complet eronat și că, din
contră, vaccinarea este benefică.
Concluzii. Astăzi, cercetările și studiile noastre științifice continuă să promoveze o abordare
mai rațională a vaccinării copiilor și adulților cu diabet de tip 1
Postmodernist vision of the relationship between the author and the hero as an act of transgression
No full textУ центрі уваги автора статті – вирішення проблеми реальності у літературі постмодернізму. Йдеться про суб’єктивний характер сприйняття простору героями двох оповідань. Автором першого з них «Суб’єкт» є польська
письменниця та психолог Ольга Токарчук. Автором другого, «Неймовірна справа “Кишенькового оракула”» – український письменник та літературознавець
Олександр Міхед. Ключовою подією у кожному з оповідань є руйнація кордону
між літературою та дійсністю, між автором та його героєм. В оповіданні
Ольги Токарчук персонаж автобіографічного роману на кшталт тіні з казки
Х. К. Андерсена намагається захопити життєвий простір свого творця, замінити того. В оповіданні Олександра Міхеда реальна людина – читач (крадій) –
настільки ототожнила себе з героєм роману молодої письменниці, що навіть
пішла на вбивство авторки заради порятунку вигаданого персонажа, вірячи, що
таким чином захищає власне життя від свавілля тієї, хто вигадав цього персонажа. Пропонуються різні мотивування того, що відбувається в оповіданнях.
Руйнування кордону між вигаданим та реальним світами в обох оповіданнях
може бути відображенням того, як автори бачать процес художньої творчості, художнім дослідженням психічного стану героїв, результатом включення фантастичних мотивів як алюзії на відомі твори письменників-романтиків.
Головним чином автор статті пов’язує цей процес в обох оповіданнях із актуальною проблемою сучасної філософії – трансгресії. Вона, у свою чергу, безпосередньо пов’язана з безліччю питань, на які ми намагаємося знайти відповідь.
Зокрема – чи настільки міцні межі між вигадкою та дійсністю і чи немає й
справді такого, іншого простору (вимірювання), про яке пише П’єр Байяр, у якому літературні герої не менш реальні, ніж ми самі.The focus of the author of the article is the solution of the problem of reality in
the literature of postmodernism. We are talking about the subjective nature of the
perception of space by the characters of two stories. The author of the first of them,
“Podmiot”, is the Polish writer and psychologist Olga Tokarczuk. The author of
the second, “The Incredible Story of the «Pocket Oracle»”, is Ukrainian writer and
literary critic Oleksandr Mikhed. The key event in each of the stories is the destruction
of the boundary between literature and reality, between the author and his hero. In the
story by Olga Tokarchuk, the character of the autobiographical novel, like a shadow
from H. K. Andersen’s fairy tale, tries to capture the living space of his creator, to
replace him. In Alexander Mikhed’s story, the real person – the reader – identified
himself so much with the hero of the young writer’s novel that he even went to commit
the murder of the author in order to save a fictional character, believing that in
this way he can protect his own life from the arbitrariness of the one who invented this character. Various motivations for what happens in the stories are offered. The
destruction of the boundary between the fictional and real worlds in both stories may
be a result of reflection of how the authors see the process of artistic creation; it may
be connected with artistic study of the mental state of the characters; the inclusion of
fantastic motifs may be an allusion to the famous works of romantic writers. Mainly
the author of the article connects this process in both stories with the actual problem
of modern philosophy – transgression. It, in turn, is directly related to many questions
that we are trying to find an answer to. In particular, are the boundaries between
fiction and reality so strong, and is there really such a different space (dimension) in
which literary characters are no less real than ourselves
Case study: Dynamics of sunflower seed movement in the vibrating tray of the infrared dryer and its influence on the drying process
No full textSaabunud / Received 03.06.2021 ; Aktsepteeritud / Accepted 21.09.2021 ; Avaldatud veebis / Published online 21.09.2021 ; Vastutav autor / Corresponding author: Valentyna Bandura [email protected] of researches on the study of the material particle movement on the vibrating surface of the container machine intended for seed drying in the infrared field is carried out. Comparison of traditional devices for dehydration of raw materials with energy supply of infrared irradiation is performed. It is shown that current tendencies of the development of heat and mass transfer equipment are connected with the use of electromagnetic generators of infrared energy. The purpose of the work is to study the process of movement of sunflower seeds on a vibrating tray dryer. To achieve this goal, a dynamic scheme of the vibrating tray has been proposed and theoretical and experimental studies of the process of grain movement have been carried out. It has been established that when the speed of drive electric motors increases from 950 to 970 rotations per minute, the speed of vibro-transportation increases as well, but when reaching a certain value of speed, under a further increase in speed, the speed of vibro-transportation decreases. Experimental studies have allowed to specify the design parameters of vibrating trays and select rational parameters of the technological process of drying, namely the oscillation frequency of the vibrating tray, which is f = 100 s–1
Identification of mathematical description of the dynamics of extraction of oil materials in the electric field of high frequency
No full textSaabunud / Received 22.10.2020 ; Aktsepteeritud / Accepted 04.02.2021 ; Avaldatud veebis / Published online 05.02.2021 ; Vastutav autor / Corresponding author: Valentyna Bandura [email protected] of the most important stages of the technological process of extraction of target components from oilseeds is extraction. This stage lasts the longest, and therefore, it generally determines the speed and cost-effectiveness of the whole process. A promising direction for effective organization of the extraction process is involving microwave technologies, the use of ultra-high frequency electromagnetic field (EHF) microwave energy directly in the technological process.
The complex nature of the interaction of the factors that determine the intensity of the extraction process in the microwave field does not allow establishing (create) an exact mathematical model of extraction. We propose a method of parametric identification of the mathematical description of the extraction dynamics. This method allows determining the kinetic coefficients of the process from one experimental experiment on the existing installation. A simplified process mechanism was chosen for the study and a general description of the phenomena of heat and mass transfer in a capillary-porous body was used for the known general description. The parameters of the obtained model were identified according to experimental studies. The thus obtained model of non-stationary processes can be used to optimize the parameters and automate the technical means of extraction of oil materials
