In the late 1990s on the market of high-quality real estate in Russia became popular a luxury apartment building called "club house". However, frequently the proposed design solutions do not meet the requirements for the architectural organization of this class dwelling. The aim of the research is to determine the optimal architectural and planning parameters of "club houses", identified on the basis of the analysis of the project implementations experience.The prerequisite for the appearance of such objects was the decision of the Moscow government to ban the construction of multi-storey houses in the historic center of the capital. To build in the center the usual multi-storey houses for the mass consumer was not correct. The solution of this problem was proposed by developers – an elite low-apartment house, built or renovated on an exclusive project in a prestigious landscaped area for a narrow circle of residents belonging to the same social class and having a high material and property level. The new type of housing immediately interested wealthy citizens.

The article examines the phenomenon of «domestic violence», which is a social phenomenon that has deep historical roots associated with the legal consolidation of the subordinate position of man. Approaches to the term «domestic violence» are clarified and evaluated. Domestic violence is a serious violation of human rights that the state must uphold and protect. Among them are the right to life and physical integrity; the right not to be subjected to abuse or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment; the right to freedom from discrimination on grounds of sex; the right to healthy and safe development, etc. Ukraine has ratified a number of international legal instruments, thus committing itself to protecting people from violence, including domestic violence. The term domestic violence first began to be used in the early 1970s to define violence against men and insults against women. The key to investigating domestic violence is to find out that it is not a single beating or an accidental incident - although such things can happen and will, of course, be considered a criminal offense. Domestic violence is constant violence and insults. This is a situation in which the victim is constantly affected, sharing housing with the aggressor, being dependent on him and even, perhaps, having a sense of love for him. Domestic violence is a product of family and personal conflicts. It was stated that the scope of coverage of domestic violence has significantly expanded in the era of the so-called modern information society, which is accompanied by a more tolerant attitude of the population to the facts of domestic violence and criminal offenses in general. Researchers’ views on the concept of domestic violence were analyzed, which determined its types (physical, sexual, threat of violence, economic, psychological, non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of responsibilities for raising a minor child) and form (criminal and non-criminal). Due to the fact that the breakup of the family and difficult economic conditions entail the possibility of living within one apartment (house) already divorced spouses and their relatives, it is necessary to recognize as potential participants in domestic violence all persons living in one apartment (house) in family or other relationships.

The analysis of existing research in the field of ventilation systems is performed and the current shortcomings of the ventilation systems of secondary apartment houses of series 114–85 are identified. The instability of the natural ventilation system of an apartment building characterized by variable air exchange and overturning ventilation in the ventilation ducts is demonstrated. Field studies of the natural ventilation system efficiency of an apartment house series 114–85 located in Saratov are carried out. According to the research results, the absence of traction and the presence of reverse traction in the exhaust ducts of the ventilation system are revealed. The initial reason for the lack of normal traction in the ventilation system associated with its calculation in the project of building a house series 114-85 for open mode operation is stablished. The increased tightness of windows and doors of apartments is determined, resulting in a reversed traction and the impossibility of uniform distribution of air vertically of the house, therefore installing only the exhaust system of the natural ventilation of an apartment building is inefficient. It is established that the ventilation channel in the kitchen is constantly working to extract air from the premises of the apartments, since the bathroom door is tightly closed that does not correspond to the normative indicators. The analysis of ventilation system on the example of three-bedroom apartments shows the need for additional supply devices for controlled flow of outside air into the premises of apartments. The use of supply wall valves of KIV-125 brand and window ventilation valves of Air Box Comfort brand is provided. A methodology of selection the modern, highly efficient energy saving models of turbo ventilators is presented, increasing traction in exhaust ventilation ducts at 40 % and independent of direction and wind gusts.

The subject of this paper is an effective connection of the solar wall into an energy concept of an apartment building with a hot air ventilation. It describes mental approaches and construction solution of the solar wall, which minimizes disadvantages of the existing energy of similar structures by its new ideological concept. The facade of the house becomes an energy contribution for the object. A part of this article is an effort to evaluate the proposed solution in a low-energy three-storey apartment building with six residential units. From the graphs it can be determined the energy balance of the building with the solar wall for a particular day of the year. The construction is applicable for both new buildings and renovations.

Abstract The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fourth Edition, uses the Injury Model to rate impairment in people who have experienced back injuries. Injured individuals who have not required surgery can be rated using differentiators. Challenges arise when assessing patients whose injuries have been treated surgically before the patient is rated for impairment. This article discusses five of the most common situations: 1) What is the impairment rating for an individual who has had an injury resulting in sciatica and who has been treated surgically, either with chemonucleolysis or with discectomy? 2) What is the impairment rating for an individual who has a back strain and is operated on without reasonable indications? 3) What is the impairment rating of an individual with sciatica and a foot drop (major anterior tibialis weakness) from L5 root damage? 4) What is the rating for an individual who is injured, has true radiculopathy, undergoes a discectomy, and is rated as Category III but later has another injury and, ultimately, a second disc operation? 5) What is the impairment rating for an older individual who was asymptomatic until a minor strain-type injury but subsequently has neurogenic claudication with severe surgical spinal stenosis on MRI/myelography?

Abstract Pelvic fractures are relatively uncommon, and in workers’ compensation most pelvic fractures are the result of an acute, high-impact event such as a fall from a roof or an automobile collision. A person with osteoporosis may sustain a pelvic fracture from a lower-impact injury such as a minor fall. Further, major parts of the bladder, bowel, reproductive organs, nerves, and blood vessels pass through the pelvic ring, and traumatic pelvic fractures that result from a high-impact event often coincide with damaged organs, significant bleeding, and sensory and motor dysfunction. Following are the steps in the rating process: 1) assign the diagnosis and impairment class for the pelvis; 2) assign the functional history, physical examination, and clinical studies grade modifiers; and 3) apply the net adjustment formula. Because pelvic fractures are so uncommon, raters may be less familiar with the rating process for these types of injuries. The diagnosis-based methodology for rating pelvic fractures is consistent with the process used to rate other musculoskeletal impairments. Evaluators must base the rating on reliable data when the patient is at maximum medical impairment and must assess possible impairment from concomitant injuries.

In serial memory for spatial information, some studies showed that recall performance suffers when the distance between successive locations increases relatively to the size of the display in which they are presented (the path length effect; e.g., Parmentier et al., 2005) but not when distance is increased by enlarging the size of the display (e.g., Smyth & Scholey, 1994). In the present study, we examined the effect of varying the absolute and relative distance between to-be-remembered items on memory for spatial information. We manipulated path length using small (15″) and large (64″) screens within the same design. In two experiments, we showed that distance was disruptive mainly when it is varied relatively to a fixed reference frame, though increasing the size of the display also had a small deleterious effect on recall. The insertion of a retention interval did not influence these effects, suggesting that rehearsal plays a minor role in mediating the effects of distance on serial spatial memory. We discuss the potential role of perceptual organization in light of the pattern of results.
