The review analyzes a monograph published by Springer Vieweg publishing house, which presents scientific approaches to the problems of defect formation in railway rails. The advantages of the book under review include the analysis of statistical data on rail failures, description of test methods and damage diagnostics. The book discusses in detail the widely occurring types of contact-fatigue defects formed during operation in the rail head: internal longitudinal shelling, multiple parallel head checks, surface squats und studs in the middle of the rolling surface with a greater or lesser degree deformations

Academic Literature

The article focuses on the state of academic literature in the field of Russian translation studies based on Ewa Konefał’s latest bibliographic monograph entitled Russian translation studies. Volume 1: Abstracts of dissertations 1937–2015 (Publishing house of Gdansk University, Gdansk 2016). The first part of the article justifies the need to create bibliographic monographs, and briefly presents Polish bibliographic research in Russian studies, with 169 publications from the years 1883–2016. In the main part of the article, the author discusses Konefał’s work and presents statistical data of documents from the field of Russian translation studies available in libraries in Russia and Post-Soviet countries based on Konefał’s research results. The total number of the excerpted titles of dissertations (PhD and postdoctoral) in the years 1937–2015 is 2202, with 87.5% belonging to the field of philology (1927 positions).

Low levels of patient numeracy are pervasive, yet patients are expected to use basic math skills to maintain health, avoid ill health, and make important health decisions. This article summarizes what we know about best practices when communicating numeracy-based information to patients. We offer advice to home health nurses faced with challenges of caring for patients with low numeracy and who are responsible for their health and safety that require quantitative reasoning. Comprehending statistical data is difficult and counterintuitive for many people (and experts), and we offer examples of widely misunderstood formats of quantitative information but clarify them in ways that will benefit the practicing home health nurse. We conclude that patients need help understanding and using numbers while nurses need help explaining them.

As you know, the study of the past, present and such a vague future of society (and its number of classes) still attracts the gaze of many representatives of the scientific academic society (including colleagues in the sociological workshop). This article is a review of the monograph of corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Zh.T. Toshchenko “Precariat: from the proto-class to the new class”, published in 2018 by “Nauka” publishing house. The monograph allows the reader to feel how rapidly the socio-class structure of foreign, Soviet, and then Russian society was changing. In it, Zh.T. Toshchenko clearly reflects the historical aspects of the development and functioning of a new social class — the “precariat”. The conclusion is proved that the precariat does not have a clear vision of its future, confidence in the security of its personal life and the guarantee of a quiet old age at the end of employment. An impressive number of foreign and domestic statistical data further confirms the conclusions of reasonable Zh.T. Toshchenko. In the future, the author of the monograph explores the consequences of the existence and functioning of this new social-class phenomenon.

Rail defects due to the rolling contact fatigue have a significant place in the Handbook of Rail Defects in the framework of UIC Code 712 in 2002. The paper presents the system for coding and classification of rail defects according to UIC recommendation IRS 70712 in 2018. The presented classification does not cover all known defects due to the rolling contact fatigue (e.g. stud and belgrospi defects). It is recommended that Infrastructure Manager should supplement the Handbook of Rail Defects with the types of defects noticed on its railway network. The authors recommend information that should be included in the database of rail defects, in order to monitor the development of defects, taken measures and their efficiency, as well as to enable the exchange of statistical data on rail defects at the international level.

Cardiovascular Care

The medical community, researchers and healthcare organizers are constantly challenged by comparing key indexes reflecting the effectiveness of cardiovascular care, primarily for the dynamic assessment and implementation of the world's best practices to reduce cardiovascular mortality. The analysis of health care for patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is a complex, multicomponent process, the structure and key tools of which differ from country to country. Using different data sources, methodological and analytical approaches creates certain limitations and barriers to the assessment. In order to update the ideas about the modern coordinate system and tools for assessing cardiovascular care, the authors presented practices for analyzing major indexes in Russia, European countries, and the United States. The review presents sources of statistical data, principles for assessing risk factors, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and specific features of monitoring the availability and quality of cardiovascular care.
