Published: December 2023

En mayo de 1983, la cadena estadounidense NBC estrenó la película Prisoner Without a Name, Cell Without a Number, dirigida por Linda Yellen. El film, destinado a la emisión televisiva, fue una adaptación del libro testimonial del periodista y empresario Jacobo Timerman, editado al inglés en Estados Unidos en 1981. Tomando la obra de Timerman como referencia y a partir de numerosos trabajos teóricos-metodológicos que han abordado al cine como documento para las ciencias sociales se analizó cómo la película representó y caracterizó a la última dictadura militar argentina.
Reflections on Archaeomusicological Practice in South America
Authors: Pérez de Arce José
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to describe some problems and issues that have emerged from the practice of archaeomusicology in South America, especially in the Andean region. Some methodological approaches emerge from the specific problems of organological studies of pre-Hispanic objects, related to the evidence about sound use and the interpretation of sound by local cultures. This article presents four features of Andean music that illustrate some of the main methodological approaches that must be utilized when studying pre-Hispanic music in the Andes; the tone quality, the organological expansion from a singular object to multiple objects; the physical movement of musician and hearer as part of the sound properties, and musical performance as part of a social exchange between musicians and listeners. Each of these features offers a new perspective on archaeo-musicological studies, as well as on the contributions of the field to a greater understanding of new discussions in present society.
The focus of this article will be to understand the ‘sound object’ as an acoustic object, as one or more objects, as related to the surrounding ambient, as a moving object, and as a modifier of the player’s or listener’s experience.

Authors: Andersson David A. , Stanek Christopher R. , Matthews Christopher , Uberuaga Blas P.
Published: December 2023

New reactor concepts have motivated study of a variety of nuclear fuel types. Most nuclear fuels have their origins dating back to the very beginnings of nuclear materials. We survey the most prevalent types of nuclear fuels and their properties and give some historical context as to their development. We end with our perspective on what the next 50 years of nuclear fuel research might lead to. In our opinion, while optimized microstructures and chemistries are certainly on the horizon, the biggest developments will be the continued integration of modeling and simulation with experiments to extract the greatest amount of energy possible from existing fuel candidates in a safe and economical way.

Authors: Klimko Yurii , Pisanenko Dmitrii , Koshchii Iryna , Levandovskii Igor
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Thiophene derivatives are common in a large number of natural compounds. In addition, their biological activity provides great opportunities for synthetic organic chemistry. In particular, cyclopentenylthiophenes have high antimicrobial activity, can affect various inflammatory mechanisms, and can be effective in the treatment of cancer. However, in research, it is essential to first learn how to obtain compounds in pure form and to select such synthesis conditions that, when scaled up and introduced into widespread production, the affordability and safety of the processes would meet the needs of both consumers and pharmaceutical companies. Material and Methods: As an oxidant, meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid was used, which allowed exploring its oxidative properties and advantages of use in more detail. Results and Discussion: In the course of this work, several cyclopentenylthiophene derivatives were synthesised, the ratio of isomers in the synthesis of these compounds was analysed, and the advantages and disadvantages of the synthesis methods were discussed. On the other hand, there are several issues that require additional research, including the effect of temperature conditions, electrophilicity of substituents and other factors on the course of the epoxidation reaction for cyclopentenylthiophenes. Conclusion: The research of thiophene derivatives is relevant both from the standpoint of exploring electronic effects when substituents with different acceptor properties are introduced into the heterocyclic aromatic system and from the standpoint of medicinal chemistry, as they are interesting biologically active objects with high chemical stability, good penetration of cell membranes, ability to affect enzyme activity, bind to receptors.

Published: December 2023

In the present study, a new galectin designated Cyclocybe cylindracea lectin (CCL) was extracted from the fruiting bodies of the wild black popular mushroom C. cylindracea grown in Algeria. The protein was isolated using sepharose 4B as affinity chromatography matrix, and galactose as elutant. The purified galectin was composed of two subunits of 17.873 kDa each, with a total molecular mass of 35.6 kDa. Its agglutinant activity was impeded by galactose and its derivatives, as well as melibiose. Lactose showed the highest affinity, with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 0.0781 mM. CCL was sensitive to extreme pH conditions, and its binding function decreased when incubated with 10 mM EDTA, and it could be restored by metallic cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, and Zn2+. CCL agglutinated human red blood cells, without any discernible specificity. Circular dichroism spectra demonstrated that its secondary structure contained &deta;-sheet as dominant fold. In addition, bioinformatics investigation on their peptide fingerprint obtained after MALDI-TOF/TOF ionization using mascot software confirmed that CCL was not like any previous purified lectin from mushroom: instead, it possessed an amino acid composition with high similarity to that of the putative urea carboxylase of Emericella nidulans (strain FGSC A4/ATCC 38163/CBS 112.46/NRRL 194/M139) with 44% of similarity score.
Reforma del régimen de opiniones consultivas jurisdiccionales en el Mercosur. Aportes del derecho comunitario comparado
Authors: Alejandro D. Perotti
Published: December 2023

En el Mercosur, las opiniones consultivas jurisdiccionales, que son aquellas solicitadas por los jueces nacionales, no sólo cumplen un rol trascendente a la hora de garantizar la interpretación y aplicación uniforme del derecho regional en el territorio de todos los Estados Partes, sino que, además, garantizan el ejercicio de varios derechos fundamentales de la persona, entre los cuales cabe citar el derecho al juez natural. De allí que este mecanismo, que es la única vía de acceso (indirecto) del particular a la justicia regional, requiere de una regulación que consolide su utilización y efectividad. El derecho comunitario comparado a nivel mundial demuestra, claramente, que la regulación de esta herramienta procesal en el Mercosur adolece de importantes debilidades, provocando que nuestro proceso sea el que menos acceso a la justicia permite al particular. La buena noticia es que la solución para revertir esta situación en el Mercosur requiere de reformas que sólo necesitan de la decisión política del Consejo del Mercado Común, sin siquiera necesitarse de la reforma de tratados o protocolos.
‘Nonhuman Landscapes’ in Quebec Video Art
Authors: Bédard-Goulet Sara
Published: December 2023

This chapter examines two video artworks by artist Nelly-Eve Rajotte that present landscapes in northern Quebec using aerial views provided by a drone, thus interrogating an anthropocentric representation of landscapes as a passive frame for human activity. The videos and their dehumanized perspective are a basis to reflect on the idea of nonhuman landscapes, i.e. non or less anthropocentric representations of the natural environment that open the possibilities of showing nonhuman elements as singular points of view. They contribute to deepen our understanding of northern spaces in Canada.
De quoi le RIC est-il le nom ? Les commentaires de la presse française sur l’usage du référendum d’initiative citoyenne (1995-2020)
Authors: Premat Christophe
Published: December 2023

From November 17, 2018, to March 5, 2020, the yellow vests movement resulted in the repetition of several slogans in the demonstrations, in particular the affirmation of the acronym RIC for citizen initiative referendum. This slogan has officially become one of the main symbols of this movement, with debates on the uses of the referendum. However, since the beginning of the 1990s, the request for a referendum has been the subject of several laws in France on the inclusion of citizens in local life with new instruments of participation such as the local referendum, the petition and neighborhood councils. This series of laws did not prevent an increasingly strong demand for the institutionalization of a right of popular initiative. How can this recurrent demand be analyzed in the French public space? Why is there a lexical creativity in the political discourse when it comes to instruments of direct democracy? The hypothesis of the chapter is that the creation of the acronym RIC responds to a diversion operated by the discourse of the government. The study of a corpus of 7,403 texts from the French press between 1990 and 2020 provides an understanding of the changes in the creation of the acronym from the period when the laws of participation were gradually institutionalized until the appearance of the yellow vests movement.
Populism in Italy before 1992. An Analysis of Parliamentary Speeches by Guglielmo Giannini, Marco Pannella, and Umberto Bossi
Authors: Colombo Michele
Published: December 2023

The study adopts a historical perspective, analyzing from a linguistic and rhetorical point of view the parliamentary speeches of three Italian populist politicians before April 1992, that is to say, before the fall of the traditional Italian parties that dominated the scene in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of a new political era. The aim is to ascertain whether the formal characteristics of Italian populist discourse are completely dependent on the general political landscape and on the mass media or whether it is possible to identify any linguistic or rhetorical features that are inherently linked to Italian populism.
Series enumerativas y populismo en el discurso político español en Twitter
Authors: Pano Alamán Ana
Published: December 2023

This chapter presents the results of an analysis of list constructions within a corpus of tweets published by five Spanish political leaders. The series are analyzed in relation to the main features of the populist discourse, namely, the constant appeal to the people facing a threat, which is connected to other political actors and social groups, and the creation of clashing antagonisms between these two actors. The results indicate that the series are employed in the corpus as intensifiying argumentative strategies and to establish an opposition between us and them, which can be more or less exacerbated according to the sociopolitical context.
SYSTEM ELEMENTS OF RUSSIAN PREVENTIVE LAW
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Krasovskaya O. Yu.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the need of society for the prevention of offenses is realized by the legislator by the adoption of laws on countering and preventing offenses. The main directions of state policy in the fight against crimes and administrative offenses, such as corruption, extremism, terrorism, illegal migration, illicit drug trafficking, environmental security offences, juvenile delinquency and others, as reflected in the accumulated regulatory framework in this area, including the priority of a preventive approach to offences before punishing them, make it possible to state the need to form a new branch of law – preventive law. The article proposes the institutional structure of preventive law, justifies the allocation of four of its institutions: subjects and other persons of the prevention of offenses, the main areas of prevention of offenses, types of prevention of offenses, forms of preventive influence. The pre-established institutional structure of preventive law stemming from the laws governing preventive legal relations, it will appear as a structural model for the law enforcement officer, as well as the legislator, allowing the latter to approach the improvement of preventive legislation with a systemically important orientation of regulatory legal acts
TO THE QUESTION OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Vaskevich V. P.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: based on the identified criteria, the article differentiates the basic rights and obligations of professional athletes. Attention is drawn to the fact that the formation and implementation of the rights and obligations of a professional athlete is significantly influenced by the nature of the components of the regulation within which they arose. The content and scope of athletes' rights are linked to one or another stage of their professional development, which is always based on personal will and choice. The normative description of a number of rights and obligations of professional athletes is based on the fact that certain circumstances or actions have already been committed, which is important to take into account when assessing the actual existence of rights. In addition, certain rights and obligations arise only if they are included in the text of the contract. As a result of the analysis, the article concludes that the rights and obligations of a professional athlete and their relationship constitute the central element of sports and sports law, regardless of the interpretation of their meaning and scope.
PROSECUTORIAL SUPERVISION IN PRE-TRIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CRIMINAL PROCESS OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Authors:   Prosecutor's Office of Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative districts of Moscow, Levchenko O. V.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Kazakhstan, like some other CIS states, is quite strongly oriented to‐ wards the transition from the investigative criminal procedure system traditional for this group of states to an accusatory one headed by the prosecutor's office. The legal development of this state is characterized by a private change of course in building a national system for combat‐ ing crime, the absence of its own doctrine, which could serve as the ba‐ sis for the development of criminal policy. However, in recent years, the country has carried out a major reform of the preliminary investigation and in many respects follows the universal “Western” example, and in fact the German model, both in relation to the reorganization of the le‐ gal form of the preliminary investigation, and the model of participa‐ tion of the prosecutor in this investigation. The foundations of the new criminal procedural model were laid by the latest major legislative no‐ vels. There was an occurrence of operational‐search activity in pre‐trial proof. There is a deformalization of pre‐trial evidence through the in‐ troduction of digital technologies. Next in line is the transition to a judi‐ cial procedure for bringing charges by the prosecutor and establishing the priority of judicial evidence over investigative evidence, turning the prosecutor into the main subject of proving the prosecution.
MEASURES OF ADMINISTRATIVE COERCION TO ENSURE THE ENFORCEMENT OF PRESCRIBED LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE POLICE IN THE ESTABLISHED AREAS OF CONTROL AND SUPERVISORY ACTIVITIES
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Landerson N. V.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article raises the question that authorized officials of the internal affairs bodies (police) in the established areas of control and supervisory activities are entitled to make legitimate demands on individuals and organizations through the adoption of law enforcement administrative legal acts (regulations, representations, etc.). By virtue of Part 4 of Article 13 of the Federal Law “On Police”, representations and prescriptions are recognized as mandatory for execution by all state and municipal bodies, organizations, officials and other persons within the time limits specified in the request, but no later than one month from the date of its delivery. In case of their non-fulfillment or improper execution, as a general rule, administrative liability is provided for in the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. However, with the adoption in 2020 of Federal Law No. 248 “On State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control…”, the police, in the implementation of federal state control (supervision) in the field of road safety, the police (traffic police units), in case of non-compliance with the instructions on the elimination of violations of mandatory requirements within the prescribed period, had the right to apply measures administrative enforcement of previously prescribed legal requirements by means of newly issued prescriptions, up to applying to the court in order to ensure their execution (Article 90). In other established areas of control and supervisory activities of the police, the norms of Federal Law No. 294 “On the Protection of the Rights of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs…” are applied, which do not provide for measures of administrative coercion to enforce police orders. Based on the analysis of the norms of the Federal Law “On the Police”, other federal laws, Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation and Orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the question of the need for a system of administrative coercion measures used in police activities to determine a special type of administrative coercion measures aimed at ensuring compliance with legal requirements prescribed by the law enforcement administrative legal act of the police.

Published: December 2023

This essay presents a reflection on the negative consequences that have been affecting riverside communities on the Tapajós River resulting from the transport of commodities on barges. Faced with situations that are as or more harmful to the survival of the riverside population, space was opened to analyze other harmful actions that are substantially affecting the indigenous population, due to the increase in the movement of vessels to meet the demand of agribusiness which, in some way, encourages the criminal transport of wood, resulting from illegal deforestation and contributes to the flow of gold, produced mainly by illegal mining, in addition to the drug trafficking movement, facilitated by streams that disorient control systems and transform the Amazon basin into a transshipment area to give flow to cocaine produced in neighboring countries. The dichotomy that exists today in the context of Amazonian territorial planning justifies the interest in researching how these riverside communities have survived, circumstantially removed from their habitat in socioeconomic conditions that are not favorable to the adaptations imposed by capital. Thus, it is being discussed, objectively, human actions aimed at mitigating the damage that has been caused in the areas covered by Lower Tapajós.

Authors: Purushotham Rao M
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a protocol for the development of coarse-grained (CG) structures for macromolecular simulation using the GROMACS software. CG models are widely used in molecular simulations due to their computational efficiency, which allows for the study of large and complex systems. The protocol described here outlines the steps necessary for the creation of CG structures, including the selection of appropriate beads, mapping of the CG beads onto the atomistic structure, and the parameterization of the CG model. The protocol also includes guidelines for validating the accuracy of the CG model, as well as recommendations for future improvements in CG model development. The described protocol will be useful for researchers interested in the development of CG models for macromolecular simulations using GROMACS. The last step contains a supplemental video with extra context and tips, as part of the protocols.io Spotlight series, featuring conversations with protocol authors.
EXPLORATION OF STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICS LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND ENGAGEMENT OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Authors: Kusmaryono Imam , Wijayanti Dyana
Published: December 2023

In essence, a learning process involves students interacting with teachers, other students, and the learning environment in an educational setting. This study aimed to explore student learning experiences and the long-term impact of learning mathematics outside the classroom. This research is a longitudinal study, in which the research subjects change after a certain period of time. This study involved subjects as 208 male and female students. The author collected data through tests, questionnaires, and interview methods. The author then analyzed the data by comparing the same data over two periods. The results suggested that learning by utilizing learning resources outside the classroom in learning mathematics may help increase student engagement in the cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions. Changes shifted from learning inside classroom to learning outside classroom have created a different learning atmosphere and provided a lot of learning experiences for students, and also increased student engagement in the cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions. It indicated that learning mathematics outside the classroom has a long-term impact on student interaction in three dimensions, namely (1) the cognitive dimension; students can develop such as critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and reasoning abilities; (2) affective dimensions; students’ positive disposition towards mathematics increases while students' mathematics anxiety levels decrease; and (3) the conative dimension; such as improvement in social skills, cooperation, better communication, confidence, and diligence in learning mathematics.

Published: December 2023

Lexical cohesion is considered an essential element in understanding a discourse. However, the forms of lexical cohesion in commercial Korean advertisements are still under-explored. This study aims to examine 1) the forms of lexical cohesion found in the commercial advertisements of five Korean-language magazines; 2) the most dominant form of lexical cohesion in the advertisements; and 3) the functions of using the lexical cohesion forms in the advertisements. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. The research data were collected through careful comprehension and note-taking technique. The results demonstrated that five forms of lexical cohesion were found in the advertisements: repetition, synonym, antonym, hyponym, and collocation. Repetition was the most frequently occurred lexical cohesion form (n=30 times). Most of the commercial advertisements analyzed employed repetition to emphasize the advantages of the advertised product or service. This results indicate that the analyzed commercial advertisements are considerably cohesive. It can be seen from the use of lexical cohesion forms that makes the discourse of commercial advertising holistic and intelligible.

Authors: Rani Berthananditya Pahlevi Smaradwi , Triarisanti Risa
Published: December 2023

Overseas students will have difficulty adjusting to the norms and habits in the new environment. This impacts discomfort and unhappiness in adapting. This condition is termed culture shock. This study aims to determine the culture shock experienced by South Korean students and the difficulties in Indonesia and the United States. The data is collected by using a literature study with qualitative method. The result of this study shows that South Korean students in Indonesia and the United States experience culture shock and difficulties due to different cultures and languages with a percentage of 60-80%. The differences that arise between Korean students in Indonesia and the United States are the difficulties caused by transportation and services from students in Indonesia because they feel that transportation and services in Indonesia are still lacking and personal difficulties in the United States because of the individualism that makes most students in the US feel lonely and find it difficult to express. However, despite experiencing culture shock, this Korean student tried to adjust to the new culture with several efforts, such as doing private lessons with Indonesians, then hanging out and communicating with Indonesians, and trying to compromise with the culture and social rules around him so that he well received and as it is. Meanwhile, adaptation efforts in the United States include conducting orientation sessions and meetings with advisors and making teams when studying with students in various countries to help break down the natural tendency to get along with students from their nation.
Shifts in form and meaning in the translation of the subtitles of Battle Trip (배틀 트립) variety show ep 114 Trip to Bandung
Authors: Rojak Rio Abdu , Risda Dianni , Ansas Velayeti Nurfitriana
Published: December 2023

The process of conveying meaning between two languages is called translation. This qualitative research study aims to depict changes in form and meaning during the translation of subtitles from the Korean variety show "Battle Trip (배틀 트립) episode 14," titled "Trip to Bandung," as it transitions from Korean to Indonesian. Additionally, this study delves into the underlying factors that contribute to these translation shifts. This research used a theory of translation shift and translation meaning shift. The data were collected by jotting down the phrases, clauses, or sentences in the subtitles that contained form and meaning shifts and classifying them into an analysis table, based on the type of translation shift. The results showed that from 147 units of analysis, there were 167 translation shifts. Almost all types of form shifts were found in this study. The most commonly occurring type of translation shift was category shifts, especially the structure and unit shifts. This was due to the differences in grammatical rules, sentence structure, and language units between the Korean and Indonesian languages. Meanwhile, the concept of meaning shift is categorized into two distinct groups: generic-to-specific transitions and shifts stemming from divergent cultural perspectives. The most dominant meaning shift was the generic-to-specific category because the translator used equivalents that were not too close but the meaning conveyed did not change. In addition, the difficulties in finding the close equivalents due to the differences in the cultural background were another factor in the occurrences of translation shifts.

In Vitro and in Vivo Assays of Selected Plant Extracts Against Fruit Rot Fungi
Authors: Shaari Fatin Nabila , Mohd Zainudin Nur Ain Izzati
Published: December 2023

Post-harvest losses of crops in Malaysia is estimated at around 20%. Fungal infection is one of the primary causes of post-harvest loss in fruits. The common use of synthetic fungicide to combat fruit rot fungi poses negative impacts on human health and the environment. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of selected plant species as a safer alternative for post-harvest treatment. Ethanolic leaf extracts of Piper sarmentosum, Psidium guajava, and Cymbopogon citratus were tested against Fusarium oxysporum from tomato rot, Fusarium proliferatum from banana rot, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from mango rot. In vitro analysis was conducted using poisoned food bioassay and the percentage inhibitions of Fusarium oxysporum growth were 93.50% by Piper sarmentosumextract, 46.68% by Psidium guajavaextract, and 40.48% by Cymbopogon citratus extract. A test on a different fungus, Fusarium proliferatum, showed that Piper sarmentosum, Psidium guajava, and Cymbopogon citratusextracts displayed percentage inhibitions of 88.78%, 36.66%, and 22.44%, respectively. In vitro test on Colletotrichum gloeosporioides showed that Piper sarmentosum extract inhibited the fungal growth by 96.23%, while Cymbopogon citratus and Psidium guajava extract inhibited the fungal growth by 52.62% and 52.22%, respectively. The mechanism of action of these extracts appeared to be fungistatic. Piper sarmentosum was selected for further analysis by in vivo assay as it displayed the most significant anti-fungal action. The study was conducted using Piper sarmentosumleaf extract of various concentrations (25, 50, 50, and 100 mg/mL). The leaf extract displayed dose-dependent activity, with the highest reduction in disease severity observed at concentration of 100 mg/mL. The findings showed the potential use of Piper sarmentosum, Psidium guajava, and Cymbopogon citratus leaf extract as anti-fungal agent for post-harvest treatment to minimize fruit loss. Piper sarmentosum leaf extract showed comparable inhibitory action to commercial fungicide carbendazim.
Processing of Herbal-Based Natural Products and Functional Foods: A Review
Authors: Chua Hun Pin , Nicholas Daniel
Published: December 2023

The growing worldwide emphasis on health and wellness, leading to increased demand for natural plant-based ingredients in foods. This shift is driven by concerns over synthetic additives in processed foods, giving rise to the popularity of plant-based functional foods. The global functional food market is projected to reach $275.77 billion by 2025, with a surge in demand for plant-based immune-boosting products due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Malaysian herbs, with their rich history of culinary and traditional use, are gaining attention as functional ingredients. However, their incorporation into food products requires more advanced processing methods and research. Malaysia's biodiversity offers untapped economic potential, and the country's herbal industry is experiencing growth in exports and research investments. Herbal ingredients, containing active phytochemicals, are sometimes referred to as botanical substances and can be incorporated into formulations for functional foods. The review classifies herbal-based food products as herbal medicine, botanical food, or food-drug interphase (FDI). Herbal processing methods are crucial for ensuring the functionality of herbal-based products. Primary processing steps include sorting, cutting, drying, and grinding. Specific processing functions involve retaining active compound contents, enhancing effectiveness, reducing toxicity or side effects, and changing active compound properties or functions. The review also discusses the application of herb combinations in functional foods, highlighting the need for careful consideration of interactions between herbs and other components. Approaches to functional food development in Malaysia include refining existing products, creating new formulations, and integrating novel processing technologies. Future research directions include enhancing bioavailability and functionality of active compounds, exploring nanosystem technology, and incorporating nutrigenomics for disease prevention through dietary interventions.
The Prediction of Landslide Slip Surface Based on the Correlation Between Relative Density and Dynamic Cone Penetration Test
Authors: Mohd Nazer Nor Shahidah , Kotb Shahin Ahmed Mohamed , Nerwan Shah Azlan Shah , Goh Thian Lai , Umor Mohd Rozi , Ghazali Mohamad Anuri
Published: December 2023

Relative density is one of the most important properties indicating the strength and state of compaction of the soil. The dynamic cone penetration test is considered one of the fastest field tests for evaluating the relative strength of soil layers, including density. In this study, an attempt is made to correlate the relative density of the landslide soil with the dynamic cone penetration results. The aim of this study was to delineate the boundary between moving and in-situ soil for the prediction of slip surfaces and finally to conceptualise the underlying mechanism behind the initiation of a landslide. The results of the penetration tests give an increasing index of 1.9 - 2.4 cm/blow, 2.8 - 3 cm/blow and 3.2 cm/blow for the upper, middle and lower parts (toe), respectively. Using the correlation equation, the calculated relative density in the field was found to agree well with the relative density measured in the laboratory with a standard deviation of ±1.5%. The relationship between the relative density and the penetration index shows an inverse relationship where the resistance of the soil to dynamic penetration increases as the relative density of the soil increases, thus decreasing the penetration index.

Intensive introduction of robotic systems is a modern priority for further automation of human activities. Recent theoretical and practical developments in robotics have made it possible to introduce robots in areas of practical activities previously dominated by humans. Modern trend in robotics is in creating state of the art robotic systems with increased autonomy and expanded functionality. This will allow to relieve human, leaving him supervision functions. An emerging task in robotics is also to create an environment, assisting to create and introduce new perspective robotic systems, also bearing modernization capability. This can be done through improving of modern approaches of creating robotic systems. We foresee necessity to change some of robots’ life-cycle stages, which would allow to rapidly introduce new effective robots into production. The article in its beginning studies some most emerging directions in robotics and new ideas for more effective robotic systems design. During this one should find a balance between introducing drastically new technologies in new robot and perfectioning already existing technologies. Authors propose to use so-called modular-platform based approach for creating new robots. Within it they imply typical structure of a robot, suggesting to use basic platform as a basement for building new robots with varying usefull load. In such case same platform can be used for building inspection robots, unmanned transport systems, unmanned retransmitter etc. The paper presents some already built examples of the approach. Final part of the paper discusses advantages given by application of this approach.

The paper proposes a method for controlling tension forces in statically indeterminable cable-driven systems based on the non-negative least squares method with control of singular or near-singular solutions and a complete search of all possible cable configurations. For cable-driven parallel robots the problem of controlling the cable tension forces is critical, because in the absence of control the cable tension forces are distributed unevenly, which leads to reduced robustness of the system, increased energy consumption and increased deterioration. And in special cases of cable system configuration the tension forces become so great that they lead to cable breaks. At the same time, correction of cable tension force distribution should not lead to significant deviations from the specified position of the mobile platform or, formulating the problem in terms of forces, to violation of kinetostatic equations. Thus, the problem of controlling the tension forces in the cable parallel robot system is solved as a problem of optimizing the tension forces of the cables according to the criteria of minimizing the norm of their vector in the configuration space and minimizing the norm of incoherence of the vector of forces and moments in the operational space of the robot. The developed algorithm is based on the solution of underdetermined systems of linear algebraic equations with finding the minimum least squares norms and subsequent zeroing of negative components of the solution vector. The paper considers examples of the solution of the set problem for the lower cable group of a construction 3D printer based on a cable-driven robot and for a 12-cable system

Theoretical and experimental investigations of propagation of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses (US EMP) are needed to develop new technologies of creation of modern special engineering. The analytical method of field calculation of travelling antenna waves taking into account reflection of fracture and redistribution of currents in wires because of losses of radiation energy from fractures is considered. The calculations of V-antenna, the field of radiation of a horn system and the pulse radiation of the antenna with a reflector are presented. Experimental investigations of UWB EMP propagation carried out on the basis of the theory developed by S.A. Podosenov are the base of creation of modern radiotechnical complexes. Simultaneously the main conceptions of space-time fractal geometry of deterministic structures are introduced.

Spin transport in chiral materials is considered as the main direction for the spintronics development. Experimental work on the study of the spin Seebeck effect shows that in chiral materials it is possible to achieve effective generation of spin-polarized current at distances up to several millimeters. In the presented work, we develop a theoretical approach to describe the spin Seebeck effect based on the spin Hamiltonian for conduction electrons in a chiral medium. Taking into account this Hamiltonian, the equation of electron spin dynamics averaged over the polycrystalline sample is obtained. In the approximation of ideal Fermi-gas and local-quasi-equilibrium distribution, the spin density operator of conduction electrons is constructed. It is shown that averaging over randomly oriented crystallites does not destroy spin ordering at strong spin-orbit interaction, and the temperature gradient generates spin polarization directed predominantly along the temperature gradient. Spin polarization by the described in the paper mechanism does not require external magnetic fields and remanent magnetization and therefore does not interfere with the operation of micro- and nano-sized structures of spintronics. Since the spin Seebeck effect is reciprocal with the spin Peltier effect, the theoretical approach presented in this work can form the basis of new methods for controlling heat flow in spintronics systems.

Kotel'nikov Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics of Russian Academy of Sciences The results of experimental studies on spin current at the interface of iridate/manganite heterostructure SrIrO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 consisted of oxide epitaxial films with nanometer thickness are presented. A pure spin current was induced by microwave irradiation in GHz frequency band under conditions of ferromagnetic resonance. The spin current was detected due to inverse spin-Hall effect measuring the spectral characteristics of charge current arising on electrically conductive SrIrO3 film with strong spin-orbit interaction. The spin-Hall angle, which characterizes the efficiency of spin current conversion to the charge current, was determined by measurements of the angular dependences of spin magnetoresistance of the iridate/manganite interface.
