Lawsonite eclogites and metasomatites of the Utarbaev Association of the Maksyutov complex

Research subject. This article presents mineralogical, petrological and geochemical studies of lawsonite eclogites and metasomatites of the Utarbayev Аssociation of the Maksyutov complex. The Utarbayev Association forms an independent unit in the Maksyutovsky complex accretion structure. This Association features a variety of lawsonite-bearing metasomatites that form zonal halos in the frame of block-like diopside-grossular bodies included in the antigorite-serpentinite melange. The Utarbayev Association differs from typical lawsonite-blue shale complexes of collisional oro genes by the absence of mineral parageneses of lawsonite-bearing rocks of blue amphibolites.Methods. A microprobe analysis of the mineral composition was performed using a Cameca SX-100 microanalyzer. The content of petrogenic, rare and rare-earth elements was determined by X-ray spectroscopy (CPM-18) and mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS, ELAN-90). Results. An indicator mine ral paragenesis (Grt + Omp + Lws + Di) ± (Coe-Qz + Ttn) that characterizes lawsonite eclogite was found. Omphacite (Jd38–44) and unchanged lawsonite (Н2O-OH – 11.8%, Ca/Al = 0.48–0.51 и Fe/Al = 0.01 0.02%) are represented as inclusions in grossular-almandine garnet (Alm39–46Grs41–51), coesite – as microinclusions in omphacite. Thermobarometry (Grt-Omp, Grt-Omp-Ph) showed the following formation conditions of lawsonite paragenesis: T = 495–622°C under P = 2.2–2.4 GPa. The age of crystallization of lawsonite eclogite was found to be Lower Paleozoic (471–444 Ma).Conclusions. The lawsonite eclogite of the Utarbayev Association is similar to the complexes of «cold» eclogites, which are formed under the conditions of a very low geothermal gradient and are rarely preserved when removed into the upper crust. The latest review published in the «Journal of Metamorphic Geology» (2014) mentions 19 sites, where lawsonite eclogites were discovered on the earth’s surface. Тhe HP-UHP lawsonitebearing Utarbayev Rock Association complements this list.

Scientific substantiation of the role of choreographic art in the cultural process

The work shows that the purpose of choreographic art is to convey to a significant part of listeners the imageries, thoughts and the formation of views that become the basis for the growth of cultural perception. Choreographic art is understood by the authors of the article as part of a single process of human cultural development. The article reveals successively the technology of the formation of the choreographic process as part of the socio-cultural exchange, as well as an aspect of the formation of prerequisites for the personal growth of an individual who becomes a participant in cultural exchange. The authors showed that the use of choreographic art is understood not only as a visualized part of the basic artwork of a text plan, an artistic one, but it can also act as an object of knowledge as an independent unit. The novelty of the article is the position that the use of choreographic art as part of cultural exchange is based on the psychological perception of the individual to the cultural process.

COMMUNICATION PLATFORMS: A MODER VISION

The aim.Тhere is a theoretical justification for the phenomenon of «Communication Platform».Theapplied social and communication technologies there is a layering of terminological apparatus: classification and identification of terms and theoretical and methodological basis. One of such phenomena is the development of communication platforms, which are separated into an independent definition and depart from Internet platforms and social networks. It is important to study the development of platforming as a process of forming platforms of different types and cluster formation.Research methods.The method of theoretical analysis is used to study the existing points of view and clearly derive the definition of «communication platform».A method of comparison to derive the author's vision of the existence and functioning of the characteristics of the definition of «Communication Platform»and distinguish it from other types of platforms.The method of sociological survey contributed to the practical vision of the communication platform as an independent unit that is able to raise socially important issues and help solve difficult issues.The resultsof the study showed the difference between the terms «Social Networks»and "Communication Platform". There is a classification of platforms, the difference between them. The own vision of the terminological unit is given. This approach demonstrated the need for further scientific study of the phenomenon, the need to unify the approach to the description of platforming as a process in applied social and communication technologies.Social networks as a communication unit are considered in detail, the features that distinguish platforms and social networks are described.The conclusionsemphasize the further need to study communication platforms as applied scientific units. The definition of the phenomenon taking into account the author's vision is offered. Emphasis is placed on the features inherent in communication platforms.

The Uppsala Model in the Twenty-First Century

When it was developed in 1977, the Uppsala internationalization process model (Uppsala model for short) had three basic premises: process ontology, behavioral assumptions, and the presence of uncertainty. Multinational business enterprises (MBEs), among all actors, were in their infancy, and their future could not be known. Later on, the model was extended to cover the evolution of the MBEs, with factors such as internationalization, globalization, and the development of characteristics prompting changes and making them possible. Likewise, the knowledge concept was substituted for by capabilities, operational and dynamic, fitting well the other concepts of the model. The neoclassical view of the firm as an independent unit on the market is considered unrealistic. Instead, firms, MBEs, and small and medium enterprises are seen as embedded in networks with other cooperating and competing actors. The mechanisms of the 2017 version, though, are the same as in the original version. Hopefully, the latest version can be used as a tool within the scope of the “theory of the firm” research and as a platform for more studies on causal mechanisms, later to be applied in normative conclusions. It follows that static cross-sectional statistical methods are not fully satisfactory. Application of dynamic analytical methods requires investment in longitudinal data collection, which is costly, and has to be performed by institutions rather than individuals. A dream is that the Uppsala model can be used as a stepping stone in the construction of realistic macro-level studies of the economy.

Chronic cerebral venous dysfunction: diagnostic and treatment-and-prophylactic aspects

As a continuation of the topic of the article in the previous issue of the International Neurological Journal, which presents an analytical review of domestic and foreign studies on the syndrome of chronic cerebral venous dysfunction (SСCVD), this section discusses the classification of pathology, key issues of diagnosis and treatment. It is noted that in Ukraine and in most countries of the post-Soviet space, clinical classifications of M.Ya. Berdychevsky and A.V. Shemagonov are still used, where clinical forms, etiological factors, stages and types of the pathology were identified. In the ICD-10, venous cerebral insufficiency may correspond to the following chapters: G46, I87.8, I98, I99. Diagnosis of SCСVD, first of all, is based on a clinical assessment. Having quite characteristic general clinical symptoms, the pathology nevertheless differs in certain features of the course. Most often patients with SCСVD complain of chronic stabbing, monotonous headache, a feeling of heaviness in the head and so on. In addition, most patients have constant or intermittent noise in the head, ears, dizziness and vertigo. Additional verification methods are ultrasound examination of the vessels of the head and neck, plethysmography, magnetic resonance angiography. Since SCСVD is not an independent unit, the treatment of this pathology primarily requires the elimination of the underlying disease that provoked cerebral venous discirculation. As important preventive and curative measures, non-drug methods that reduce congestion in the body should be considered: regular physical activity, dosed exercises for the spine, various types of massage and physiotherapy, reflexology. It is important to adhere to a certain diet and quality of food. Among venotonic drugs, there are those of plant origin (flavonoids and saponins), synthetic agents, combined drugs.

Analysis of modern views on the uterine fibroids and methods of its treatment

Despite a significant amount of research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids, many questions remain unanswered today. The appearance and progressive growth of this formation is the result of a whole complex of disorders in the female body: neurohumoral, genetic, inflammatory and others that suppress reproductive function and worsen the course of the disease. Given the number of key factors in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of uterine fibroids, the treatment of this group of patients should be comprehensive, aimed at early detection, treatment of concomitant gynecological diseases and correction of hormonal disorders.In recent decades, hormone therapy has been widely used for the conservative treatment of uterine hyperplastic diseases. However, according to some data, the use of COCs or intrauterine hormonal releasing system has a slight blocking effect on fibroid growth processes. Pharmacotherapy of the disease can be both a stage for preoperative preparation on the organ, and an independent unit for stabilizing the nodes and getting rid of surgical treatment. And although the results of conservative treatments indicate their effectiveness, it should be stated that the main method of treatment of uterine fibroids is surgery.In the age of endoscopic surgery, this discussion has not exhausted itself and the modern approach to the treatment of uterine fibroids dictates the expansion of indications for organ-sparing operations. The choice of their methodology should be considered and determined by the size, location, clinical picture of the disease and the feasibility of preserving menstrual and reproductive function of women. Laparoscopic myomectomy is considered a minimally invasive and less traumatic intervention, contributes to a favorable course of the postoperative period and reduces pain. With effective organ-sparing surgical treatment of uterine fibroids in women of reproductive age, the menstrual cycle is normalized, reproductive function is restored, and pregnancies usually occur in 1,5-2 years after surgery.Endoscopic treatments are now successfully used both for planning a pregnancy and for its onset. A significant amount of patients have an uncomplicated course of pregnancy and childbirth, even in the presence of multiple and small nodes. Of course, pregnant women with fibroids can not be considered as a homogeneous group of patients, clearly recommending the preservation of pregnancy. The predominant location and size of the tumor, the degree of pathological changes in the myometrium, the duration of the disease, the state of health of the woman, the age of the woman giving birth for the first time, determine different degrees of risk of pregnancy and childbirth for mother and fetus. The division of patients into risk groups allows to differentiate the question of the feasibility of maintaining pregnancy, to carry out appropriate clinical and laboratory examinations and preventive measures to prevent complications.

Impact of corruption on the economic and environmental security of the state

Corrupt activities in the Russian Federation have reached the point where national security is under threat. Corruption creates obstacles to the economic growth of the state, slows down various transformations not only in the economic, but also in the social sphere of society, worsens the standard of living in the Russian Federation, undermines public confidence in public authorities, and reduces authority in the eyes of other countries. Theoretically, broad corrupt activities are able to destroy the norms, constitutional foundations that have developed in society and neutralize the operation of any legal system. One should not lose sight of the fact that corruption activity, due to its illegal origin, intersects with other variants of socially destructive phenomena, such as sanctioned crime, shadow economy and terrorist attacks. As a result, it can be said that corruption is a combination of various factors, a continuously growing system that threatens the state and financial security of the country, and is not an independent unit, which is an exceptional precedent of bribery of a certain person among civil servants.

Exploring a Model Network for Orchestation IoT Services Based on Kubernetes

This paper focuses on the implementation of the concept of microservices, which can be used to design and implement distributed edge services for IoT applications. Basically, IoT is a platform where integrat-ed services are connected to a common network, so all devices are able to collect and exchange data with each other. Typically, monolithic user mobility services are developed for the core components of the ETSI MEC Unified Systems Reference Architecture. The ETSI MEC views microservices as a tool for separating monolithic applications into a set of loosely coupled distributed components, i.e. which provides an independent unit that implements a function. This architecture is expected to facilitate dynamic adaptation at runtime. However, increased modularity can also increase the load on orchestration and system management. In MEC, user equipment is connected through gate-ways to microservices running at the edge node. In the work, a distributed service is implemented using Docker containers and is designed to actually adapt to surrounding low-capacity servers. The results demonstrate that low latency for edge applications can be achieved with this kind of implementation. The integration of software technology with a standardized boundary system provides a solid foundation for subsequent development. This article discusses the use of edge computing architecture and Kubernetes for orchestration and management of network applications.

QUANTITATIVELY NOMINAL RELATED PHRASES

As can be seen from the title of the paragraph, in this case we will talk about one type of related subordinate phrases, which is formed not in the structure of the sentence, but as a "pre-sentence", an independent unit of nomination. In this group of units, such constructions are represented as quantitative and nominal (ten books, many people, several students, a group of climbers, a herd of horses, etc.), combinations with the meaning of compatibility (Mom and I, brother and sister, etc. .), combinations with the meaning of selectivity (one of us, one of the representatives, etc.), etc.

Book in the media systeme

Book functioning in the modern society, called by the researchers not only as an information but also a media one, has changed. Book and media are considered as unique phenomena the essence of which being reflected in sense-filled notions. The aim of the article is to reveal the place of book in the media space. Its tasks are: 1) on the base of modern home and foreign dictionaries and encyclopedias to show the difference in approaches to definitions and expose the content of the concepts “book” and “media”; 2) to demonstrate the specifics of the book entering into contemporary media sphere both on the level of its transformation into new existence forms in the electronic environment and on the level of its being as an independent unit in the form of a printed book; 3) to establish the possible methodological approaches to the investigation of the problem and suggest the methodology of transdisciplinarity as the basic one. Methods used are: theoretical analysis and generalization, terminological analysis, transdisciplinary approach. The term “media” describes the whole sphere of activity (“media sphere”) in the centre of which are means of information and communication, social institutes, dealing with the content production and delivering it to the public. The book is included into this sphere transforming its form into a new electronic one and getting benefits through the variability ofelectronic resources, virtuality, a new language and communicative formats. A printed book with its great number of valuable properties, first of all ability to influence inner cognitive and psychological perception structures while reading faces significant difficulties in its publishing and dissemination; it’s transferred into the second row of information policy and mass cognition. Thus, it’s methodologically important to consider book in any form as a significant element in the modern media sphere. It’s promising to use the transdisciplinary approach to book research when it is studied not by aspects from the viewpoint of this or that discipline but as a whole using all acquired knowledge.
