An analogous problem exists in the development of drugs when a molecular configuration requiring minimal energy for its realization must be provided. A task of this nature must be solved in order to find the missing segments of a partially known protein structure. These problems lead to the more general task of ensuring a smooth change of the joint coordinates of the kinematic chain while performing a continuous spatial movement of the end-effector of the chain. An algorithm for planning a smooth reconfiguration of a redundant kinematics chain is proposed in the present work. The chain is decomposed into a countable number of substructures, each of which provides a unique solution of inverse kinematics for a target point. This makes it possible to select substructures during the spatial movement of the kinematic chain, ensuring a smooth change of the joint coordinates. The redundant generalized coordinates are force controlled, given the necessary values to ensure a smooth reconfiguration. The inverse kinematics problem is solved for the other joints.","PeriodicalId":30048,"journal":{"name":"Trakia Journal of Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67463950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bulgaria, an important geographical location for migratory birds crossing Europe through the two major migratory flyways for Africa, was heavily affected with HPAI H5N8 outbreaks. The first detection of HPAI virus serotype H5N8 in Bulgaria was on the 19th of December 2016 in the Vidin region. Subsequently many outbreaks in wild birds and domestic poultry were reported in 15 different administrative regions. By the end of January 2017, the HPAI H5N8 strain was detected in domestic poultry, game birds, wild waterfowl, and zoo birds. The observed and reported symptoms were discoordination, laboured breathing, ataxia, opisthotonos, watery diarrhoea, sudden death, high mortality, weakness, and recumbency. In wild birds data for high mortality was only available for some species, with well-defined hyperaemia of the meninges and brain congestion with a singular haemorrhage being mainly observed, particularly in Dalmatian pelicans. These observations showcase the importance of rapid and accurate detection and subtyping of these HPAI viruses by research laboratories. To tackle this issue, the National Reference laboratory for Influenza A and Newcastle disease in Sofia adapted a modified real-time RT-PCR assay for detection of the N8 subtype in domestic and wild birds. The aim of this study is to present a Bulgarian experience in diagnosis of HPAI H5N8 subtype during 2016/2017 epizootic wave.","PeriodicalId":30048,"journal":{"name":"Trakia Journal of Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67463093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A retrospective study was done. From March 2019 to March 2021, 404 consecutive patients from 3 to 18 years old with the main diagnosis myopia after cycloplegia passed through the private ophthalmology practice. The following signs were analyzed: age, sex, location, type and degree of myopia, review result and accompanying diseases. Results: The demographic profile of the evaluated children was: 43.8% males and 56.2% females (р< 0.05); most of them are living in the city (89.2%). The most significant number of children with myopia were between 9 and 12 years old. Children with new onset myopia were 27.7% and 72.3% were with existing one. Patients between 8 and 18 years of age with existing myopia are more than those with new onset one (p <0.05). There were 76.7% children with a low degree of myopia, 17.6% with a medium degree and 2.0% with a high degree. Without accompanying diseases were 65.6% of our patients. Conclusion: The control and treatment of myopia seem promising. However, it is necessary to develop a state policy for the prevention of children's eye health in Bulgaria.","PeriodicalId":30048,"journal":{"name":"Trakia Journal of Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67463568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data were processed with math-statistical methods (descriptive statistics and correlation analyses). Results The structural interdependencies between different indicators influencing ball speed were revealed. The data analysis established a strong direct ratio correlation dependence between ball speed and the relative strength of hip muscles of left and right legs (r=0,703 and r=0,720 respectively). We found that the strength component affecting ball speed was more significantly influenced by the relative strength of the muscles of the hip flexors and less influenced by those of the hip extensors. There was a strong interdependence with speed-strength abilities which are related to the magnitude of the power. Conclusions All in all, we believe that the revealed specifics and guidelines for strength and explosive power influence in conditional training sessions will help increase ball speed upon execution of in-step kick.","PeriodicalId":30048,"journal":{"name":"Trakia Journal of Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67463909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
