Overview of the Physics of Forming
Authors:   Paper Technology Department, Royal Institute of Technology and Swedish Pulp and Paper Research Institute, Norman B.
Published: March 2024

In this overview forming covers all processes from the dilution of thick stock into a mix, using recirculated white water in the short circulation, to the dewatering in the wire section. Grammage non uniformity in the paper web is to a predominant degree generated by the forming process, and especially the small scale variations summarized in the term formation. The term mass formation is recommended when only grammage is considered and not the optical impressions there of. The forming process also generates the main part of the large scale variations, that is the MD-,CD-and residual grammage variance. Mass formation has traditionally been evaluated using beta radiography, combined with micro densitometry or image analysis. A new technique involving the direct recording of electron beam transmission is underdevelopment, with promises off aster processing, perhaps even on-line, and high geometrical resolution.Characterization techniques based on the co-occurrence matrix, applicable to image analysis, can be a useful complement to the traditional power spectra techniques. It has recently been conclusively demonstrated that in flowing fibre suspensions, flocs are kept together by the bending forces of interlocked fibres. To study the dynamic behaviour off lowing fibre suspensions, modern video techniques, high speed movie pictures and image analysis are applied.
Basics of post Newtonian gravity- a new simpler approach
Authors: Harrison H Ron
Published: March 2024

Galileo studied bodies falling under gravity and Tycho Brahe made extensive astronomical observations which led Kepler to formulate his three famous laws of planetary motion. All these observations were of relative motion. This led Newton to propose his theory of gravity, which could just as well have been expressed in a form that does not involve the concept of force.
Comparison of “Van Herick’s” method versus “Borrone’s” method for estimating narrow angles
Authors: Mauricio Perez , Piero Barrera , Gigliola Basso , Matías Perez
Published: March 2024

Background: Strategies for indirectly assessing the iridocorneal angle aim to be reproducible, reliable, and comparable to gonioscopy for screening in cases of narrow angles and their clinical spectrum. Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine which of the indirect estimation methods of the iridocorneal angle, either the "Van Herick" method or the "Borrone" method, exhibits a higher correlation with gonioscopy in detecting narrow iridocorneal angles in patients at the Ophthalmology outpatient clinic of the Hospital San Borja Arriarán. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 32 patients (64 eyes) who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results were obtained through gonioscopy, identifying narrow angles in 16 eyes and open angles in 48 eyes. Sensitivity and specificity of both methods (Borrone and Van Herick) were calculated in comparison to gonioscopy, using a selected cutoff point. Results: The Borrone method showed a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 91%, with a 95% confidence interval, compared to gonioscopy. In contrast, the Van Herick method demonstrated a sensitivity of 77% and a specificity of 82% in relation to gonioscopy. Discussion: The high sensitivity and specificity of the “Borrone” method are attributed to its technical details and its dichotomous nature, making it easier for the operator to determine and interpret. This reduces variability and provides a high correlation with gonioscopy. Conclusions: In this study, the “Borrone” method was found to have a more significant correlation with gonioscopy compared to the “Van Herick” method. Therefore, the “Borrone” method is considered more reliable and reproducible for detecting possible narrow iridocorneal angles, especially in high patient volume settings, such as ophthalmology outpatient clinics.

This paper is aimed at investigation of electrical properties inherent to zinc oxide (ZnO) nanofilms prepared using the sol-gel method. The experimental samples consisted of a substrate (25×25×1 mm) made of microscopic glass brand “Voles” covered with the above films of the thickness ranging from 50 to 150 nm. Optical characterization was performed to calculate the bandgap width and to confirm the presence of zinc oxide in the nanofilms and demonstrate their optical activity. An oscillographic method was used to measure the surface resistance of nanofilms by using a galvanic elastic contact, which allowed determining their high electrical quality and resistance. Simultaneously, the high mechanical strength of these nanofilms was ascertained under the action of the elastic contact, enduring a series of 5 to 10 measurements without noticeable changes in resistance. Measurements were also carried out to observe the change in the electrical resistance of ZnO films, when they were heated from 25 up to 100 °C. The obtained results have indicated the potential of these nanofilms for applications in the fields of electronics, photoelectronics and sensor technologies.

Resultatansvar för likvärdighet: En läroplansteoretisk studie av systematiskt kvalitetsarbete och rektorers sensemaking
Authors:   ,   Linnaeus University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Education and Teacher's Practice., Åkesson Erik
Published: March 2024

The aim of this dissertation is to describe and critically analyze ideas about quality management within different arenas of the Swedish education systemand how these relate to leadership and the enacted curriculum. The study conceptualizes systematic quality work as a governance tool and a national accountability program created with the aim of solving problems concerninglack of equity and lowered national test scores. Two tensions within the policyprogram are identified. The first is between external results-oriented forms ofcontrol and internal professional trust. The second is between nationalcurriculum goals and local organizational goals. The empirical study consists of a cross-case study of the most different designs of four quality systems enacted by the heads of the school organizations andthe principals. The main sources of data are interviews with principals and school leaders and documents and policy artifacts. The data are analyzed froma combined perspective of loosely coupled system, discursive institutionalismand sensemaking. The main conclusion of the study is that while systematic quality work represents an attempt by the state to create a more coherent and centralized accountability system, the results point to a decentralized and loosely couplededucation system focused on local organizational goals. The contents of theenacted policy solutions show that the ideational content of quality work ishighly malleable to localized uses and interpretations, which also raises questions about how equity is to be understood within the policy program. The enacted solutions show great variance concerning how tensions relatingto internal and external dimensions of accountability were handled. The reasons for these differences where related to different leadership strategies,varying pressures from the school market and distinct organizational needs.While the enacted accountability systems in all four cases have created results-oriented frameworks for teaching, their impact on the enacted curriculum wasclearly mediated in three of the four cases.

Abstract:  This article discusses the jurisprudence of marriage between different religions in the theory of jurists. This normative legal research examines the law of interreligious marriage according to jurists and its effects. The research data was analyzed descriptively. The study concluded that the marriage of a Muslim woman to a Christian is not permissible in Islamic law. About the ruling on a Muslim marrying a woman from a biblical woman, the permissibility of a Muslim marrying a woman in writing is a desire for Islam. Still, this origin is considered with several restrictions, namely: 1- Making sure that she is biblical in the sense that she is a Jew or a Christian who believes in God and His messages and the hereafter and is not an atheist or apostate from her religion, and this is what abounds in the West. 2- To be chaste and immune. 3- There should be no fitna behind the marriage to the Scriptures or specific or likely harm. Concerning the ruling on a Muslim woman marrying a non-Muslim, the scholars are unanimous in prohibiting it. This is because Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah: Verse 221.
Keywords: interreligious marriage, jurists, Muslim, Muslim, jurisprudence.

Abstract: This article discusses the development of Muslim women in Libya. Women in society play a role that surpasses the role of men in the growth and development of society, as women are half of society. Women in the pre-Islamic era were a commodity that men owned, and they did not have any rights. At the beginning of Islam's advent, women's status changed a lot, and women became entitled to many rights and status. In addition to obtaining all their rights recognized by the Islamic religion and accompanied by Libyan legislation, Libyan women have incited the inclusion of women's rights through the ratification of international conventions and women's participation in all fields. Women's rights are their right to education, their right to choose a husband, their right to litigation, to defend their financial rights and to remedy injustice against them, women's right to work and to hold public office, women's right to judicial and litigation functions,  women's right to political participation and community development, and women's right to health care.

Muhammad Imarah's Thought on Fiqh Moderation
Authors: Al-Banna Ahmad Hasan , Rosyidah Umi , Syafaq Hammis
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Modern scholars know the clash of two conflicting currents of thought, between the extreme right (tafrith) and the extreme left (ifrath) currents. This is very dangerous for Islamic civilization. Therefore, wasathiy (moderate) Islamic scholars, such as Muhammad Imarah (1931-2020) seek to direct Muslims to understand and implement the teachings of wasathoy Islam. This article discusses Muhammad Imarah's thoughts on the fiqh of moderation. This research is literature and qualitative. Data collection is carried out through a literature review and analyzed descriptively. The results of the study concluded that about moderation fiqh, Muhammad Imarah argued that moderate ijtihad needs to be developed for now. Muhammad Imarah stated that the relationship between text and ijtihad is always side by side (al-talazum wa al musahabah daiman wa abadan), there is a text, there is ijtihad and ijtihad departs from the text, and ijtihad is to peel the meaning contained in a text to decide the fiqh law of the text. The fiqh verdict is subjective because it takes the form of conjecture (al-dhan).
Discussions and applications of the organizational culture in telecommuting contexts
Authors: Cifuentes-Leiton Diana Milec , Londoño-Cardozo Jose , Restrepo-Sarmiento Jhulianna
Published: March 2024

This article aims to reflect on the implications for research and intervention in or-ganizational culture in telework contexts. Organizational culture needs to address issues related to tasks and goal achievement within the dynamics of individual work, considering the processes of symbolization in the world of work. Additionally, it should expand analytical frameworks to account for the complexities of virtual relationships. The reflection was based on a qualitative synthesis of the results from two master's dissertations. One dissertation focused on organizational culture, while the other examined teleworking. This qualitative synthesis reflected on four fundamental aspects: a) the changes that organizational culture may undergo when in-dividuals change their workplace, b) the changes resulting from alterations in work hours, c) the communicational changes that occur in these new contexts, and d) the cultural changes that can arise from altering contractual relationships in telework settings. The existence of changes in the precepts that shape organizational culture due to the adoption of telework in labor management was discussed. The digitalization or virtualization of work affects social interactions, adding complexity to group dynamics. This prompts academia to reconsider categories and conceptualizations related to the organizational world.

Authors: Zimina Ekaterina , Sineva Olga
Published: March 2024

In the context of value pluralism of modern Russian society which faced difficult political, economic and social challenges, the task of forming a child's personality on the basis of common spiritual values and moral guidelines is of significant importance. The dynamic characteristics of the family system and, in particular, the style of family education have a significant impact on the development of morality in preschool childhood. The purpose of this research considers deepen studying of scientific ideas which concern the relationship of moral development of preschoolers and the prevailing styles of family education. The sample consisted of 60 older preschool children attending preschool educational institutions and their parents. The diagnostic complex included tools for studying the cognitive, emotional and regulatory-volitional components of morality as well as the questionnaire «Analysis of family relationships», which allows assessing the key characteristics and integral styles of disharmonious family education. As a result of quantitative processing of the obtained empirical data using the Spearman correlation coefficient, significant correlations between individual parameters of inharmonious styles of family education and the spheres of moral development of preschoolers were discovered. In this context the following conclusion should be made: there is an obvious connection of not only indulgent hyperprotection and hypoprotection with the formation of cognitive and emotional components of morality but also education in the style of increased moral responsibility with the manifestations of the regulatory-volitional component. The research demonstrates the relevance of the formulation of recommendations for parents and persons involved in the upbringing of preschool children aimed at optimizing the style of family education in order to stimulate the moral development of preschoolers.
Russian and Foreign Experience of Functioning of the Institute of the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman): Issues of Improving Legal Regulation
Authors: Yakimova Ekaterina
Published: March 2024

Improving the mechanism for the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms is a constant task for the legislator in any state. In scientific research, when analyzing existing Russian legislation, law enforcement practice, foreign experience, researchers justify the need to adjust Russian legislation and law enforcement. Some proposals are further reflected in the legislation. New challenges to the Russian state and society require additional measures to improve the activities of human rights commissioners (ombudsmen). These persons actively participate in the implementation of the human rights state function. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of legal regulation and the functioning of the Federal Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, the implementation of its functions, and the determination of the most acceptable scientific views on improving its status, taking into account modern Russian realities and positive foreign experience. The methodological basis of the study was general scientific methods, as well as special legal methods of cognition, special importance is attached to the comparative legal method. We concluded that the recognition by the human rights commissioners (ombudsmen) of an important place in the state extrajudicial mechanism for the protection of human rights is not without grounds. When changing legal norms, it is necessary to take into account that the functionality of these persons is limited due to the specifics of their status, as well as the subsidiary of their role in protecting human and civil rights and freedoms. These persons contribute to the restoration of the violated right mainly through interaction with public authorities. Consequently, proposals to empower the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation with unusual functions should be assessed for acceptability from the standpoint of the specifics of its status and the importance of ombudsmen in the Russian human rights mechanism.
The Identity of the Offender as an Element of the Forensic Characteristics of Crimes Related to Marking Changings of Vehicles
Authors: Agafonov Artem
Published: March 2024

The identity of a criminal, traditionally being one of the most important elements of forensic characteristics, inevitably becomes the object of research. A comprehensive study of the offender’s identity, in our view, contributes a lot to obtaining the information necessary for the proper disclosure, investigation and prevention of various crimes, including those related to changing the markings of vehicles (hereinafter — MO TS). The theoretical and applied essence of the forensic study of the offender’s identity is manifested in the need and possibility of compiling his forensic portrait. In this context, it is relevant to represent a “conditional portrait” of the criminal’s personality based on the criminal acts under study, despite their high latency. The purpose of the study is to establish a forensic portrait of individuals who commit crimes related to changes in the MO TS as a scientific phenomenon and a practical tool for law enforcement agencies. The research methodology is based on the theoretical analysis of the main scientific provisions of leading scientists in terms of the forensic aspect of studying the personality of an offender. The empirical base was the statistical data of the Judicial Department at the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the analysis of 147 criminal cases on crimes of the investigated direction. Scientific novelty lies in the formation of the author's conceptual approach to the compilation of extremely specific typical personality traits of criminals who commit crimes related to changes in the MO TS.

Introduction. The most important component of the technological process of manufacturing of gear wheels of critical products is the operation of teeth honing. Special requirements are imposed on the surface quality of special-purpose gears, where imported abrasive tools were used, the supply of which in modern economic conditions is impossible. Purpose of work: development of formulation, technological equipment and technology of manufacturing of elastic diamond gear hones instead of imported ones for teeth honing of gear wheels of special purpose. Research methods. Subject of research are samples of imported elastic gear hones and created domestic analogs. The mechanical properties, morphology and chemical composition of the abrasive (diamond) layer of the working surface of the teeth and the annular gear were determined. The content of chemical elements was controlled in separate points of the surface and by scanning over the area on a scanning electron microscope. The formulation and technology of production of annular gears were determined. Results and Discussion. Designs of molds for forming the abrasive layer and the hub of the gear hone are developed. The peculiarities of morphology of the material of the working layer and the annular gear of the elastic diamond gear hone are revealed. On the basis of the conducted research, domestic analogs of materials of constituent elements of the gear hone are determined. Two manufacturing technologies were considered: pressing and injection molding. Two molds were made to test the technology: a simplified model consisting of two teeth and a round mold. Several methods of manufacturing hone teeth were analyzed: manufacturing of an abrasive layer with different degree of pre-vulcanization, subsequent introduction of gear material and final vulcanization of the whole product. The mechanical properties of the materials of the working abrasive layer and the annular gear were determined. The chemical composition of the components of the hone and the boundary zone are studied. As a result of the conducted research, recommendations on the formulation of the abrasive layer and the annular gear, technology of manufacturing of the gear hone intended for final treatment of teeth of heat-treated spur wheels of special purpose are given.

The Romanian Media System: Dynamics, Challenges, and Implications for Democracy
Authors: Botan Madalina
Published: March 2024

This article endeavors to delve into the recent transformation of the Romanian media landscape, aiming to offer a nuanced comprehension of the cultural and political dynamics that have influenced journalistic practices. The Romanian media environment has undergone swift changes, transitioning from a monolithic structure to one increasingly driven by commercial interests, all while navigating economic and political pressures. The shift toward a free-market framework has not only reshaped the social and political fabric but has also significantly impacted the media sector. This article posits that the Romanian media landscape is shaped by the interplay of cultural, economic, and political forces, evident in journalistic outputs across both traditional and digital platforms. This assertion aligns with Hallin and Mancini’s (2004) notion of parallelism between journalism and politics. Moreover, it extends this perspective to encompass cultural influences and the evolving media landscape resulting from shifts in the media market, changing consumption patterns, and the proliferation of digital media. Key indicators such as professional standards, editorial autonomy, transparency, financial sustainability, political influence, and media regulations are critically examined within the unique context of Romania, in which political interference and growing reliance on advertising revenue often curtail editorial independence. In conclusion, the article reflects on the current state of the Romanian media system and the manifold challenges it confronts amidst the changing dynamics of the media landscape.
“Nazis Aren’t Welcome Here”: Selling Democracy in the Age of Far-Right Extremism
Authors: Sengul Kurt , McSwiney Jordan
Published: March 2024

This article critically examines the communicative and policy-framing response of Australia’s Victorian government to the state’s growing crisis of far-right extremism. Through a critical discourse analysis of the Victorian Andrews and Allan Labor governments’ political communication from 2021 to 2023, we explain how the government discursively responded to the rise of far-right extremism. We found the Andrews and Allan governments employed a range of communicative, discursive, and legitimisation strategies to both legitimise the government’s policy to ban Nazi symbols and gestures and to (re)establish Victoria’s reputation as an inclusive and multicultural liberal democracy. The findings of this article broaden our empirical understanding of the central role of political and crisis communication in responding to extremism and may provide a template for other governments to respond to the global crisis of far-right extremism.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 can affect the eyes and both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. Retinal complications associated with COVID-19 have been reported.
CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: We present a clinical case of age-related macular degeneration that developed during the acute period of coronavirus infection. A patient with COVID-19 and pneumonia (CT-1) experienced sudden decrease in visual acuity within 1 month. A dark spot appeared in front of the left eye, which did not disappear despite eye movements, and distortion of objects was observed. The disease was manifested acutely. A complete ophthalmological examination revealed a sharp decrease in visual acuity and a positive Amsler test (distortion of lines at a distance of 30 cm). In the field of view, scotomas were noted in the center. Ophthalmoscopy revealed light and dark foci in the central macular zone of the retina. Cptical coherence tomography with an angiographic mode detected severe changes at the level of the neuroepithelium and retinal pigment epithelium with the formation of gray tissue. Aflibercept (approved for use in the Russian Federation, No. LP-003544) was intravitreally prescribed according to the clinical guidelines for treating age-related macular degeneration. After treatment with positive dynamics, visual acuity increased to 1.0, and the thickness of the retina decreased by 102 microns.
CONCLUSION: The key objective in making a correct diagnosis was the use of optical coherence tomography with an angiographic mode. This method allows the visualization of the retinal layers without invasion The angiography mode allows the assessment of the state of the foveolar avascular zone and the density and perfusion of blood vessels, which enable the diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration and choroidal neovascularization. Timely antiangiogenic treatment, that is, a single intraocular injection, completely restored the visual acuity and visual field and normalized the state of the retina according to objective data of optical coherence tomography with angiography mode.
Duodenal amyloidosis: a clinical case

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: Amyloidosis is a chronic systemic disease that, in some cases, affects the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: A 62-year-old patient complained of painless enlargement of the lymph nodes in the supraclavicular region on the left side according to the puncture biopsy of the lymph node — reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. During the examination, duodenal amyloidosis was accidentally detected. The results of additional studies to determine the type of amyloid were nonspecific. The patient refused to continue the examination.
CONCLUSION: This clinical case of duodenal amyloidosis is unusual and clearly demonstrates the difficulties of diagnosis, including the absence of a clinic and the nonspecificity of the endoscopic and radiological picture during the examination. In addition, the absence of an established chronic disease characteristic of amyloid A amyloidosis and the results of laboratory and instrumental research methods, excluding amyloid light chain amyloidosis and transthyretin amyloidosis, emphasise the main role of clinicians in diagnosing the underlying disease.

Public health and healthcare is an educational and scientific discipline that studies the state of health of the population depending on the environment, lifestyle, and organization of medical care and develops medical and social measures for disease prevention and health improvement of citizens. The department, which solves educational, pedagogical, and scientific problems of social hygiene, was organized in 1924 at the second Moscow State University (Department of Public Health and Public Health named after Academician Y.P. Lisitsyn at the N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University). The social and hygienic research carried out at the department made it possible to develop and describe the basic principles of Soviet healthcare. In 100 years, 200 dissertation studies have been conducted at the department.
The Department has always been a model in all areas of activity thanks to its leaders — famous scientists, highly erudite teachers, leading organizers of health care and well-known public figures: Z.P. Solovyov, G.A. Batkis, G.B. Getsov, O.V. Grinina, Yu.P. Lisitsyn.
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy in severe stages: modern approaches to diagnosis and treatment (systematic review)
Authors: Teshev Adam F. , Malyshev Alexey V. , Golovin Aleksandr S.
Published: March 2024

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading complication in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Because of the increase in the clinical effectiveness of treatment for diabetes, the life expectancy of patients has increased, which accordingly increases the risk of severe forms of DR (proliferative DR), which is one of the main causes of blindness and low vision in the working-age population. In the literature, the overall prevalence of DR and proliferative DR is up to 34.6% and 12.0%, respectively, whereas 25% of cases of vision loss associated with DR are caused by complications of proliferative DR. Colour fundus photography and optical coherence tomography are the most informative clinical diagnostic methods for DR. In severe stages of proliferative DR, the information content of the presented indicators can be significantly reduced because of insufficient visualisation of the patient’s fundus. Thus, the literature proposes qualitative criteria (specific and single indicators) based on an expert assessment of the condition of the fundus by an ophthalmic surgeon. The described approach has a fairly high diagnostic efficiency. Along with this, it appears relevant to study the ‘quality of life’ of a patient with symptoms of proliferative DR caused by the occurrence of characteristic manifestations of psychological distress (psychological and anxiety disorders and depression). In surgical terms, functional results notably improved after vitrectomy for proliferative DR in 49–83% of cases. Moreover, the proposed methods for conducting vitrectomy for patients with advanced stages of proliferative DR do not fully consider ophthalmological and somatic features, which requires the consideration of the surgical treatment of this contingent as a separate area of vitrectomy for improving ophthalmological ‘techniques’, drug support and choice of anaesthesia.
Tasks of The Controller of The Sejm (Ombudsman) of The Republic of Lithuania
Authors: Malużinas Martinas
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this article is to analyze the tasks performed by the institution of the Sejm controller in the republic of lithuania. the article takes into account three laws on auditors of the sejm of the republic of lithuania of 1994, 1998 and 2004, assessing the most important legal provisions contained in these documents. The analysis of the systemic position of the controller of the Sejm of the Republic of lithuania in the light of lithuanian laws seems to be an issue worth scientific exploration, as Polish specialist literature lacks considerations on this subject. the subject of the analysis is still a topical issue, as lithuania – similarly to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe – established the institution of the ombudsman during the period of political transformation, which safeguards the rights of citizens. the research goal was achieved through the use of the method of institutional and legal analysis, which was helpful in the analysis of Lithuanian legal acts.
