The article presents the results of research work to optimize the working dimensions of the sealing working bodies of the dammer. A ski-shaped sealing sheet and a cone roller are used as working elements to seal the outer and inner parts of the temporary sprinkler dam. The sealing sheet of the sliding working body compresses, thanks to the presence of the inclined cheek SH and eliminates the restoration of compacted soil with the EC section. When the sealing sheet moves along the surface of the dam slope, it is immersed under the action of its own weight or the pressure force of the additional loader (spring) by the value h1, the soil layer with the thickness h1 is pressed into the body of the dam. In this case, the nature of the impact of the compacting cheek of the face on the lump of soil depends on the value of the angle αl of its inclination to the horizon and the speed of movement. To seal the outer part of the dam, take a cone roller as a working body. To substantiate the parameters of the conical working body, conical working elements were manufactured with a change in the large diameter of the truncated cone and different sizes of sealing sheets. During operation, the roller rotates on its axis with sliding and has no torque on the shaft. To find out the effect of sliding on the value of the longitudinal movement of the compacted soil particles on the surface of the dam, the nature of the effect of the base of the conical part of the roller on them is graphically considered.

Introduction. To solve the problem of accelerating the construction of roads, improving their quality, it is advisable to use a continuous action unit to form a underlying layer. The main working elements of this unit are buckets, which cut off the soil layer from below and side. At the same time, the bottom knife cuts off the ground layer from below, the right knife - on the side, and the console knife partially cuts the top layer of soil from below for the next bucket. In particular, the analysis of interaction with the ground of the bottom knife of the continuous action unit is of theoretical and practical interest. To do this, the lower knife is divided into elements and the interaction of these elements with the soil is analyzed. The consistent impact on the soil of many bottom knives, within the width of the grip of the unit, is replaced by the impact on the ground of one conventional bottom knife at a distance necessary for the development of one cubic meter of soil. The forces of interaction of the conventional bottom knife with the soil are called conditional forces.The method of research. The method of calculating energy costs when introducing the bottom knife into the ground is presented. In general, when introducing the bottom knife in the ground, there are energy costs: to separate the soil, to overcome the friction of the ground on the edge of the blade, to overcome the pressure of the ground on the face, to the rise of the ground, to the vertical acceleration of the ground by the phase, to overcome the friction of the ground on the face, to overcome the friction of the ground on the surface, to overcome the friction of the ground on the lower plane. The total energy costs of interacting with a one cubic metre soil are derived from the addition of private energy costs. The method of calculating the horizontal longitudinal force needed to move the bottom knife is given.Results. On the basis of the developed method, energy costs are calculated in the introduction of the lower knife: on the separation of the soil, on overcoming the friction of the ground on the edge of the blade, on overcoming the pressure of the ground on the face, on the rise of the ground, on the vertical acceleration of the ground face, on overcoming the friction of the ground on the fascia, to overcome the friction of the ground on the lower plane. Energy costs to overcome the friction of the ground on the surface of the bottom knife are zero, as the soil flies over it. The total energy costs of the bottom knife interact with the soil of one cubic meter. The horizontal long-lived force needed to move the bottom knife has been determined.Conclusion. As a result of the calculations: the energy needed to cut the ground with the bottom knives, about 5 kJ/cube m., horizontal longitudinal force needed to move the lower knife - 16 N. To determine the total energy costs of moving the boiler unit to remove the top layer of soil from the underlying layer of the road, you need to analyze the interaction with the soil of other elements of the bucket.

Introduction. To solve the problem of accelerating the construction of roads, improving their quality, it is advisable to use a continuous action unit to form a underlying layer. The main working bodies of this unit are buckets, which cut off the soil layer from below and on the side. At the same time, the bottom knife cuts off the ground layer from below, the right knife on the side, and the console knife partially cuts the top layer of soil from below for the next bucket. In particular, the analysis of interaction with the soil of the right knife of the continuous action unit is of theoretical and practical interest. To do this, the right knife is divided into elements and analyzed the interaction of these elements with the ground. The consistent impact on the soil of many right knives, within the width of the grip of the unit, is replaced by the impact on the ground of one conventional right knife at a distance necessary for the development of one cubic meter of soil. The forces of interaction of the conventional right knife with the ground are called conditional forces.The method of research. The method for calculating the energy costs during punching the right knife into the ground is shown: on separating the formation of the ground from its body, on overcoming the ground friction on the edge of the blade, on overcoming the ground pressure on the edge of the blade, on accelerating the ground of the blade by means of the axle, on overcoming the ground friction on the shelf, to overcome the ground friction against the outside surface.The total energy costs of interacting with a soil of one cubic meter are derived from the addition of private energy costs. The method of calculating the horizontal longitudinal force needed to move the right knife is given.Results. On the basis of the methodology developed, energy costs are calculated when introducing the right knife into the ground: on separating the soil from its body, on overcoming the friction of the ground on the edge of the blade, on overcoming the pressure of the ground on the face of the blade, on the acceleration of the ground with a fascia blade, on overcoming the ground friction on the face. The total energy costs of the right knife interact with the soil of one cubic meter. The horizontal long-lived force needed to move the right knife has been determined.Conclusion. As a result of the calculations: the energy needed to cut the ground with the right knives, more than 71 J/cube. The horizontal longitudinal force needed to move the right knife is 730 N. To determine the total energy spent on cutting the ground by buckets of the unit to remove the top layer of soil from the underlying layer of the road, it is necessary to analyze the interaction with the soil of other elements of the bucket.

BACKGROUND: This research work establishes the relationship between job strain and being overweight among Mexican managers. Recently in Mexico, there has been a sharp increase in work-related diseases and mental health disorders. Furthermore, evidence shows that Mexicans rank top among employees who suffer from stress, yet research on the impact of job strain on the phenomena of obesity and being overweight among such vulnerable job positions in the industrial field is scarce. METHODS: The sample included 170 overweight middle and senior managers from six companies in the Mexican Manufacturing Industry. Cedillo’s Spanish version of the Job Content Questionnaire by Karasek was used, and the Body Mass Index (BMI) was used to characterize an overweight condition. Structural Equations Modelling studied the relationships among variables. RESULTS: Even though, the model shows a power of explanation of 6%(R2 = 0.06), the variable showing the greatest direct effect on the overweight variable is social support, with 21%(p <  0.01, β= –0.21). Regarding the total effects, only two of the four variables studied contributed directly to the overweight variation: the social support variable and the job demand variable. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the model hold a relatively low explanatory power; however, they do show a relationship between the studied variables. Also, the importance of the supervisor and co-workers’ support should be considered when developing organizational strategies for the prevention of work stress and an overweight condition.

Background: Pregnancy has become the main constituent for women to become overweight or obese during the postpartum phase. This could lead women to suffer from postpartum depression as well. Information technology (IT) has become more prevalent in the healthcare industry. It offers patients the opportunity to manage their health conditions via the use of several applications, one being the mHealth applications. Objective: The main purpose of this study is to experiment and understand the effects the mHealth applications (i.e., fitness and nutrition applications) have on the body mass index (BMI) and depression levels amongst postpartum women. Methods: Online questionnaires were sent to postpartum women within one year after their pregnancy, of which 819 completed questionnaires were returned. The frequency of the mHealth applications usage was categorized into daily, weekly, rarely and never streams. Therefore, the frequency of use of the mHealth applications for BMI and depression levels was analyzed based on the available statistical data. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Dunnet tests were applied to analyze the experimental data. Results: Out of 819 respondents, 37.9% and 42.1% of them were overweight and obese, respectively. Almost 32.9% of the respondents were likely depressed, and 45.6% were at an increased risk. This study reports that only 23.4% and 28.6% of respondents never used the fitness and nutrition applications. The impact of the frequency of using the fitness applications on BMI and depression levels was obvious. This means that with the increased use of the fitness applications, there was also a significant effect in maintaining and decreasing the BMI and depression levels amongst Malaysians postpartum women. However, from the data of weekly and daily use of fitness applications, we found that the contribution toward the BMI and depression levels was high (p = 0.000). However, nutrition applications amongst the users were not significant within the main variables (p > 0.05). From the Dunnet test, the significance of using the fitness applications within the depression levels started from daily usage, whereas for BMI, it started from weekly usage. Conclusion: The efficiency of the fitness applications toward the BMI and depression levels has been proven in this research work. While nutrition applications did not affect the BMI and depression levels, some of the respondents were still categorized as weekly and daily users. Thus, the improvements in BMI and depression levels are associated with the types of mHealth app that had been used.

SUMMARY. One of the important medical and biological problems is to elucidate the physiological and molecular mechanisms of the impact of harmful environmental factors on the body, including fluorine and its compounds, in particular sodium fluoride [1]. Solving this problem is of great theoretical and practical importance for understanding the intracellular defense mechanisms of the organism. Close attention to various aspects of the biological effects of fluoride on the body is due to the significant distribution of this halogen in nature. At physiological concentrations, it is necessary for normal growth and development of the organism, where it performs its specific metabolic function. Any changes in the external and internal environment are accompanied by changes in the function of the endocrine glands, which leads to certain changes in metabolism and energy. It is known that hormonal insufficiency is accompanied by a decrease in the body's resistance to various adverse factors, including physical, biological, chemical. Disturbance of hormone balance and functioning of endocrine organs and systems entails profound changes in metabolic processes and immunobiological reactivity of the organism, weakening of adaptive-protective mechanisms in support of homeostatic function [2,3]. It is important to study the effects of subchronic fluoride intake, which can in a relatively short time cause various intracellular and systemic disorders in the body.

Introduction. In the modern world, the introduction of digital technologies in healthcare is one of the priorities of development, which opens up a wide range of opportunities from screening and monitoring to various health disorders. In 2020 we completed the work to evaluate the applied capabilities of contactless videoplethysmography based on the telemetric control system developed by us and patented using the DISITA software and hardware complex during pre-trip post-trip medical examinations in 19 drivers of passenger vehicles. The study aims to explore the possibilities of the data of variational heart rate monitoring using reflected video plethysmography in assessing drivers' performance in their work. We have identified the most sensitive and significant heart rate variability indicators that reflect the professional load's impact. Materials and methods. We carried out during the usual pre-trip examination, video plethysmography of the skin of the face of the subjects in parallel in conditions of both natural daylight and typical artificial lighting of medical and diagnostic rooms, at a distance of the recording WEB camera of the DISITA software and hardware complex from the face of the subject within 40-70 cm. Researchers examined the methodological recommendations developed by the Izmerov Research Institute of Occupational Health team and RT-Medicine JSC. Results. We use videoplethysmography to evaluate variational heart rate monitoring as a method for assessing functional states during mass pre-trip (pre-shift) and post-trip (post-shift) medical examinations. In this case, the heart rate estimated by palpation was identical to the heart rate obtained by videoplethysmography. The most sensitive parameters characterizing the impact of professional load on drivers were changes in the indicators of variational heart rate monitoring: SDNN, RMSSD, CV, TR, HF, LF, and the waves of vasomotion regulation. Conclusions. Videoplethysmography with an assessment of the data of variational heart rate monitoring can be used to predict the functional state (stability of the body) of drivers in the course of their professional activities.
