Ultrasound has emerged as the most useful imaging tool for investigating wrist and hand disorders, with several published ultrasound protocols having demonstrated their practicality in scanning the wrist tendons and nerves. However, ligaments of the wrist are networked in a complex manner, deterring sonographers from examining them with an organized strategy. Furthermore, because of the non-parallel alignment between the radiocarpal, mid-carpal, and carpal–metacarpal joints, precise recognition of the carpal bones is challenging, although ultrasound is paramount for visualizing the wrist ligaments. In this regard, the current article for point of view aims to elaborate sonoanatomy of the carpal bones and to present a stepwise systematic approach for navigating the extrinsic and intrinsic wrist ligaments.

The bio-informed concept, which means “designing by learning from nature’s best ideas” as an approach, method, tool, discipline or strategy, is one of the most important research areas of today. It does not only shape designs, but also is based on collaborative/interactive/creative methods in education and can be integrated with contemporary educational approaches. This paper questions how to translate the bio-knowledge, which can be an effective and useful method for developing designers’ skills such as system-thinking, innovative thinking and problem-based learning, to design education in an easy and understandable way. In this context, the method of determining and applying biological phenomena/systems into architectural design process through the “natural language approach” is investigated. With this research, it is aimed to open the way to reach more innovative and sustainable solutions by establishing a bridge between architectural and biological terminology while creating architectural structures. It has been shown how to increase the biodiversity utilized for bio-informed solutions in the architectural field by proposing a systematic approach to search for biological systems. From this point of view, this study emphasizes the importance of promoting the bio-informed design approach, increasing interdisciplinary relationships and orienting individuals to nature for creativity and sustainability.

One of the main causes of accidents at hazardous production facilities of oil and gas production is the inefficient work of production control over compliance with industrial safety requirements. At present there are no criteria for its assessment in the Russian legislation. It is established in the study that that production control in the industrial safety management system performs the role of «control» in accordance with the Shewhart-Deming cycle PDCA, and its main function is to work with nonconformities. In connection with the above, it is proposed to approach production control not only from the point of view of the process, but also from the system approach. To assess the system functioning, the criteria of «effectiveness», «efficiency», «integral indicator» are considered. It is established that from the point of view of proactivity in achieving the goals of production control, the most preferable is the assessment of the integral indicator of the production control system functioning. The considered existing and possible approaches to the assessment of the production control system and the statistical processing of the results of the expert assessment of nineteen parameters confirmed the need for a systematic approach. Based on this, the hypothesis of the production control system functioning is proposed and statistically substantiated, and four main parameters for calculating the integral indicator of the production control system functioning are considered. The built mathematical model based on the fuzzy logic clearly demonstrates the dependence of the integral indicator of the production control system functioning on the considered input parameters. The proposed proactive approach to the assessment of the production control system through nonconformity management is universal and applicable to the «control» function of any control system. It can also be used in the work of Rostechnadzor and be an incentive for enterprises to improve the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the production control system.

Abstract Plant melatonin research is a rapidly developing field. A variety of isoforms of melatonin’s biosynthetic enzymes are present in different plants. Due to the different origins, they exhibit independent responses to the variable environmental stimuli. The locations for melatonin biosynthesis in plants are chloroplasts and mitochondria. These organelles have inherited their melatonin biosynthetic capacities from their bacterial ancestors. Under ideal conditions, chloroplasts are the main sites of melatonin biosynthesis. If the chloroplast pathway is blocked for any reason, the mitochondrial pathway will be activated for melatonin biosynthesis to maintain its production. Melatonin metabolism in plants is a less studied field; its metabolism is quite different from that of animals even though they share similar metabolites. Several new enzymes for melatonin metabolism in plants have been cloned and these enzymes are absent in animals. It seems that the 2-hydroxymelatonin is a major metabolite of melatonin in plants and its level is ~400-fold higher than that of melatonin. In the current article, from an evolutionary point of view, we update the information on plant melatonin biosynthesis and metabolism. This review will help the reader to understand the complexity of these processes and promote research enthusiasm in these fields.

Modern company development requires not only tactical and strategic goals settings. It also requires to meet specific financial requirements for capital conditions. As it widely known company's capital conditions estimates with financial performance indicators. This method is quite discussion, nevertheless it still widely applicable. From our point of view, «financial equilibrium» as a one of group key financial performance indicator is crucial. In the capital condition estimation while discussing its adequacy to financial equilibrium, special attention should be given to such performance indicators as: liquidity, risk and yield. Balancing those parameters allows to management by default to achieve financial condition that required. Shown issue reveals its especial actuality for holdings, due to its complicated structure of inner communications which made it hard to achieve tactical and strategic goals that been set. Holdings needs to develop and apply special rules for structuring capital flows, which allows to achieve financial equilibrium. This article is about Financial liability limits as a one of factors that impacting holding capital condition. Current article based on researching of the practical approach of financial liabilities limits. Key conclusions revealed in the article.

The results of an automated online survey of parents of schoolchildren in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (Russian Federation) are presented. The aim of the survey was to study the satisfaction of the parents of schoolchildren with the form of organization and the results of the educational work of the educational organization. The average indicators of parental satisfaction with various aspects of educational work are analyzed. It was revealed that the satisfaction of parents in the areas of educational work differs. Parents are little satisfied with how the school forms positive life goals, high life needs, tolerance for the views and opinions of other people, the development of volitional qualities, and independence. Parents believe that the school does not help the child to believe in themselves, learn to solve life problems, overcome difficulties does not teach the correct behavior in difficult life situations. From their point of view, the school does not sufficiently teach their children to reject nationalism, extremism, corruption; prevention of alcohol and drug addiction and smoking. Also, parents believe that the school does not prepare well enough for a meaningful choice of profession. To increase the efficiency of the organization of educational work, it is recommended to improve the training of future teachers in the process of obtaining higher education. It is necessary to prepare them for professional activity in modern conditions of digital transformation of society and education on the basis of a systematic approach to the organization of educational work and the use of innovative technologies.

Abstract Purpose The remarkable amount of preclinical data achieved on 89Zr-PET imaging led to a significant clinical translation, concerning mainly immuno-PET applications. The aim of this systematic review is to provide a complete overview on clinical applications of 89Zr-PET imaging, using a systematic approach to identify and collect published studies performed in humans, sorted by field of application and specific disease subsections. Methods A systematic literature search of articles suiting the inclusion criteria was conducted on Pubmed, Scopus, Central, and Web Of Science databases, including papers published from January 1967 to November 2020. Eligible studies had to be performed on humans through PET imaging with 89Zr-labeled compounds. The methodological quality was assessed through the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic accuracy Studies-2 tool. Results A total of 821 articles were screened. 74 studies performed on humans were assessed for eligibility with the exclusion of further 18, thus 56 articles were ultimately selected for the qualitative analysis. Conclusions 89Zr has shown to be a powerful PET-imaging tool, in particular for radiolabeling antibodies in order to study antigen expression, biodistribution, anticancer treatment planning and follow-up. Other than oncologic applications, 89Zr-radiolabeled antibodies have been proposed for use in inflammatory and autoimmune disorders with interesting results. 89Zr-labeled nanoparticles represent groundbreaking radiopharmaceuticals with potential huge fields of application. To evaluate the clinical usefulness of 89Zr PET-imaging in different conditions and in real-world settings, and to widen its use in clinical practice, further translation of preclinical to clinical data is needed.

This paper aims at highlighting the theoretical development of diversity management by providing an integrated understanding of how diversity management has made progress and evolved in organisations. The current article adopts a conceptual and critical review to demonstrate the changes and shifts in diversity management research. This study reveals that there are four stages of workforce diversity within the business and management field. These stages are equal employment opportunity/affirmative action, valuing differences, diversity management and global diversity management. Each stage is discussed in greater details within the article. This study contributes to the broader diversity management literature in three main ways: firstly, by shedding some light on the conceptual clarity of the diversity notion itself; secondly, by foregrounding the holistic view of diversity management; thirdly, by reflecting the recent developments in diversity research. The review consistently points to the fact that the current literature on diversity management has been predominantly shaped by a mainstream managerial discourse and neoliberal logic which has mostly a discrimination focus rather than an inclusiveness perspective. The paper also suggests that further research is required on workforce diversity particularly with an emic, an intersectional, a contextual and a relational approach rather than reproducing the existing knowledge by an etic framing of diversity from an instrumental point of view that dominates the extant literature.

Modern digitalization requires changes in the higher education system. Analysis of the motivational structure of freshmen and the requirements of society for a graduate, allow us to indicate the direction of such changes. Purpose of the article is to describe the ways of designing educational practices at the university, in accordance with the real structure of students' motives. A systematic approach to design allows us to present the educational process from the point of view of three concepts of the development of the subject of educational activity: sociogenesis, professional genesis, ideal genesis. Each concept needs its own educational practices for development.
