Production Planning Using a Shared Resource Register Organized According to the Assumptions of Blockchain Technology.

This article presents the architecture of integration of blockchain technology (BCT) and the Internet of Things with the planning of production processes. The authors proposed a shared concept of a distributed machine database based on BCT. As part of the work, a network of connections for the exchange of production resources was created using nodes communicating in a decentralized system, which at the same time serves as an integration of the virtual and real environment.

Reproductive Services and Conscience-Based Refusals in Obstetrics and Gynecology Training.

Application of Blockchain Technology in Production Scheduling and Management of Human Resources Competencies.

Today, enterprises are multitasking, with branches set up all over the world. Virtual enterprises are created to make better use of existing resources, improve the quality of manufactured products and agilely respond to customer requirements. In order to fully meet the requirements of enterprises, a decentralized structure of data registration and transmission and authentication of network users is needed.

Comparative analysis of the corneal birefringence pattern in healthy children and adults.

Purpose: To undertake a comparative analysis of the corneal shape, thickness and isochromatics in the eyes of children and adults in order to determine the extent of similarities and differences between the cohorts.

Methods: The study involved 24 children (aged 8 years) and 37 young White adults (aged between 22-24 years) with no apparent or known health or ocular conditions. Measurements were made of corneal radius of curvature, both central (CCT) and paracentral (PCT) corneal thickness and intraocular pressure (IOP).

Shifts in Female Facial Attractiveness during Pregnancy.

It has been proposed that women's physical attractiveness is a cue to temporal changes in fertility. If this is the case, we should observe shifts in attractiveness during pregnancy-a unique physiological state of temporal infertility. The aim of this study was to examine how women's facial attractiveness changes during the subsequent trimesters of pregnancy and how it compares to that of nonpregnant women.
