Terms of Appeal of Definitions in Civil Procedure
Authors: Terekhova Lidia
Published: November 2020

Introduction. Decisions made by the courts on emerging procedural issues are not subject to the rule of

universal appeal and can be appealed only if there are two conditions specified in the law, the correctness of

which is questioned in the literature. Purpose. The aim of the work is to substantiate the necessary conditions

for an independent (separately from the decision) appeal of the rulings of the court of first instance.

Methodology. The author used formal legal method, analysis, synthesis, formal logical method. Results. The

proposals put forward in science are considered to supplement and amend the current civil procedural

legislation in part of appealing the rulings of the court of first instance. The author, with reference to examples,

noted that the current law does not always look fair and consistent in the sutuation of which particular

definitions are subject to appeal. It is not always possible to agree with the legislator that he correctly singled

out those definitions that are adopted on the most important procedural issues, delaying the verification of

definitions on which may make it difficult or impossible to protect violated rights. Accordingly, there are

reasonable claims that the legislator classifies specific definitions as appealed. The assignment of definitions to

the number excluding the further movement of the case faces constant difficulties, since it is not always

possible to understand by the nature of the definitions that they exclude the movement of the case. An

important role in resolving disputes is played by the legal positions of the Supreme Court of the Russian

Federation and the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. The Supreme Court of the Russian

Federation periodically clarifies controversial issues when appealing against rulings that arise in judicial

practice. The Constitutional Court clarifies both private issues and formulates general rules. Conclusion. The

author recognizes the correct approach chosen in the current legislation, notes other than independent appeals,

ways to protect rights, as well as the role of the highest judicial authorities in clarifying disputed situations.

Thus, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation formulated a general rule: from the right to judicial

protection guaranteed by the Constitution, the right to arbitrarily choose the procedure for appealing court

decisions does not follow.
N. V. Ustryalov about the Factor of Japan in the East of Russia after the Defeat of Kolchak
Authors: Romanovski Vyacheslav K.
Published: November 2020

The article reveals the position of N. V. Ustryalov in the question of overcoming the tension and the mistrust between the Soviet Russia and Japan after the defeat of Kolchak’s regime. In his opinion, Japanese authorities should not have encroached upon the sovereignty of Russia, also it should reject the support of the anti-Soviet movements on the East of the country and should recognize the Far East Republic. Also, N. V. Ustryalov says, that Bolshevist Moscow should make commitments not to disseminate communistic ideas in the Asia region. This was supposed to become a good platform for the normalization of the diplomatic relations and for the development of mutually beneficial economic ties between these two countries.

The Economic Life of Polish Immigrants in Siberia at the Late 19th – Early 20th Century: Strategies for Success
Authors: Krikh Anna A. , Mulina Svetlana A.
Published: November 2020

The theme of the Siberian adaptation experience of Polish agrarian voluntary immigrants at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries is traditional for modern Polish-Russian historiography. There it is reviewed in the context of the impact of resettlement forms on the strategies of adaptation. Several variations of the adaptive strategies implemented in Polish ethnic villages (settlements with a significant proportion of Polish immigrants) and Polish families, which live separately in foreign ethnic communities (farm households) were identified. On the example of the settlement Minsk-Dvoryansk demonstrated the use of a resource of ethnicity in the adaptation process by immigrants. In the absence of a parental ethnic environment, the Poles preferred the neighborhood of Catholic immigrants or isolation in the form of a farm household.

Todo menos sapo: un examen de la relación entre psicología, política y redes sociales a partir del caso Juan Requesens
Authors: Aguilar Leonardo
Published: November 2020

Nuestro propósito fue evidenciar los recursos lingüísticos y discursivos utilizados por un conocido psicólogo venezolano (Alberto Barradas) para —desde la autoridad profesional y la credibilidad pública que le reviste— favorecer con sus declaraciones a través de las redes sociales a un diputado afín a su tendencia política (Juan Requesens), eximirlo de responsabilidad penal ante su presunta participación en un atentado contra el presidente de Venezuela y, en un sentido más amplio, auspiciar el rechazo hacia el Gobierno de Nicolás Maduro. Realizamos un estudio cualitativo que se inscribe en la óptica del Análisis Crítico del Discurso y que, teóricamente, hace énfasis en la perspectiva enunciativa y pragmagramatical. Por consiguiente, caracterizamos el contexto en el que Barradas emite sus mensajes, ahondamos en la significación y el sentido de su discurso, tomamos en cuenta los componentes interactivos de la enunciación, y luego profundizamos en los recursos de la argumentación lingüística focalizados en el léxico que nuestro locutor despliega. En el abordaje de estos últimos aspectos, también nos hemos valido de la teoría de la argumentación en la lengua. Finalmente, hacemos referencia a los rasgos orales y gestuales de la intervención del psicólogo. Concluimos que, el de Barradas, es un discurso híbrido o interdiscurso que combina lo político con lo profesional. Dados sus matices, advertimos en esta operación discursiva una actuación que va en detrimento de los deberes éticos del profesional de la psicología.
La construcción de la identidad lingüística de Santiago Abascal en Twitter
Authors: Santos Maria del Carmen Mendez
Published: November 2020

Los discursos de campañas políticas que tradicionalmente han sido analizados se centraban en mitines o programas. No obstante, ya entrado el siglo XXI las redes sociales han comenzado a formar parte de ese discurso político. En este caso se analiza la cuenta de Twitter de Santiago Abascal, líder del partido político español de extrema derecha VOX con el fin de describir desde un punto de vista sociolingüístico la utilización que hace de las lenguas cooficiales. Nuestra hipótesis es que existe una evitación de su uso para alinearse en posturas nacionalistas españolas que promueve el monolingüismo como parte de su concepto de españolidad. Para ello se ha elaborado un corpus ad hoc de todas sus publicaciones durante 2019. La recogida de datos fue automática y manual. La conclusión es que evita el uso de las lenguas cooficiales y que en particular españoliza términos como Generalidad para destacar y diferenciarse como más español que los demás partidos y candidatos
Peran Negara dalam Ekspansi PT Wijaya Karya Tbk ke Afrika: Tinjauan Kapitalisme Negara
Authors: Lubis Anggi Mariatulkubtia
Published: November 2020

In the past few years, publicly-listed construction firm PT Wijaya Karya Tbk. (WIKA) has been actively expanding to the African market amidst the high needs of domestic infrastructure development. At the same time, studies on rising state intervention in the global economy are gaining attention from IPE scholars. Based on these factors, this paper examines the role of the government in WIKAâ€™s expansion to Africa from the perspective of state capitalism. By examining the role of President Joko Widodo's regime through (1) centralized planning; (2) economic diplomacy; and (3) capital assistance, this paper argues that WIKA's expansion is aimed not only at generating profits, but is also influenced by political factors to meet national interests. As a state-owned enterprise (SOE), WIKA is positioned as the national champion in the infrastructure sector, which is deemed as a strategic industry for President Widodoâ€™s regime. This paper is expected to fill the void of political economy research on the expansion of national SOEs abroad.

Introduction: Early childhood period has a high caries risk that needs special attention from parents, especially the mothers, as their role models. Mothers’ knowledge and positive behaviour towards oral health care are essential in preventive dentistry since it is the crucial thing that can support the children’s oral hygiene. Purpose of study was aimed to analyse the relationship between the mother’s knowledge and behaviour regarding oral health with the early childhood oral health status. Methods: Type of study was a cross-sectional study with correlational research method. The material from this research were questionnaires and standard instruments for an oral examination. The study was conducted on 44 children of the early childhood period and their mothers, which was chosen as sample using a purposive sampling technique for respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were mothers who took up their children to the mother and children’s health centre, children in the early childhood period with complete deciduous teeth eruption, and willing to participate in the research. A Kendall’s-tau test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The results showed that the def-t index was 7.6 (very high) and there was a significant relationship between mother’s knowledge (p-value=0.0001) and behaviour (p-value=0.004) towards oral health status of the children (def-t index). The results also showed strong correlation coefficient to knowledge (τ = -0.643) and sufficient correlation coefficient to behaviour (τ = -0.415). Ironically, mothers with sufficient knowledge regarding the children’s oral health are not fully reflected in daily oral hygiene practice. The mean value of caries teeth in each child was seven teeth, mostly found in children with mothers with poor oral health knowledge and behaviour. Conclusion: There is a strong relationship between mother’s knowledge and oral health status of early childhood, while the mother’s behaviour and oral health status has a moderate relationship.
Impact of Cyber Threats to Nuclear Facility
Authors: Kayumbe Erasto , Michael Lucy
Published: November 2020

International community has been traditionally focusing on physical threats to facilities and pass by the threat of a cyber attack on a facility. All the same, due to the growing threat posed by cyber attacks; cyber security is becoming indispensable component of nuclear facilities and it is setting up itself as a main concern for facility operators and national regulators. Consequently, ensuring the security of nuclear facilities is a considerable element, which gears at avoiding theft of nuclear materials and sabotage. For that reason, this paper was set to examine impact of cyber threats to nuclear facility. Specifically, the paper has examined cyber threats, cyber threats to nuclear facility, impact of cyber threats to nuclear facility. It is concluded that cyber threat to nuclear facility is growing despite numerous effort taken to offset the problem. Thus, there is a need either to design or improve available cyber threat mitigation procedure in order to tone down the problem.

Del análisis del Código, se desprende que el uso turístico del suelo se aplica en forma limitada, dejando fuera a las áreas de mayor tránsito turístico. Se adopta un enfoque cualitativo-cuantitativo con la realización de entrevistas, una amplia investigación documental y recorrida de campo. Se prevé que este estudio resulte de utilidad para otros municipios de la Provincia de Buenos Aires en los que el turismo constituya una actividad económica de importancia.
Evaluation of the repeatability of kinetic and temporospatial gait variables measured with a pressure-sensitive treadmill for dogs
Authors: Häusler Kirsten A. , Braun Doro , Liu Nai-Chieh , Penrose Fran , Sutcliffe Michael P. F. , Allen Matthew J.
Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate intrasession and intersession repeatability of measurements for temporospatial and kinetic variables obtained with a pressure-sensitive treadmill designed for gait analysis of dogs.

ANIMALS

16 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES

The influence of treadmill speed on accuracy of ground reaction force (GRF) measurements was assessed by simulated gait analysis at 0 to 7.5 km/h with a custom test device. A similar test was performed with 1 client-owned dog ambulating on the treadmill at 5 speeds (3 to 7 km/h) for GRF calculations. Fifteen client-owned dogs were then walked on the treadmill at 3 km/h for collection of temporospatial and kinetic data. Intrasession repeatability was determined by comparing 2 sets of measurements obtained ≤ 2 hours apart. Intersession repeatability was determined by comparing the first set of these measurements with those for a second session ≥ 4 days later. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs; consistency test) and difference ratios were calculated to assess repeatability.

RESULTS

Increases in treadmill speed yielded a mean 9.1% decrease in weight-normalized force data at belt speeds of up to 7.5 km/h for the test device, compared with the value when the treadmill belt was stationary. Results were similar for the dog at increasing treadmill speeds (mean decrease, 12.4%). For temporospatial data, intrasession ICCs were > 0.9 and intersession ICCs ranged from 0.75 to 0.9; for GRFs, intrasession and intersession ICCs ranged from 0.68 to 0.97 and from 0.35 to 0.78, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Repeatability of temporospatial data for healthy dogs was good to excellent; results for kinetic data varied. Further research is needed to investigate use of this system for gait analysis with larger samples of dogs and dogs with lameness.
Effects of orally administered gabapentin, tramadol, and meloxicam on ocular variables in healthy dogs
Authors: Shukla Angelie K. , Pinard Chantale L. , Flynn Bret L. , Bauman Cathy A.
Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE

To determine the effects of gabapentin, tramadol, and meloxicam on tear production, intraocular pressure (IOP), pupillary diameter, tear break-up time, and corneal touch threshold in healthy dogs when given orally for 3 days.

ANIMALS

9 healthy research Beagles.

PROCEDURES

A randomized, blinded, case-crossover study with a 6-sequence, 3-treatment, and 3-period design was performed. A 7-day acclimation period was followed by 3 treatment phases, each with a 3-day treatment period followed by a 7-day washout period for 3 different drugs. Block randomization was used to group dogs for treatments with drug A (gabapentin), B (tramadol), or C (meloxicam). Measurements of tear production, IOP, pupillary diameter, tear break-up time, and corneal touch threshold were performed on a schedule. A generalized mixed-effects linear regression model was created for each ocular variable, accounting for repeated measures within individuals.

RESULTS

Intraocular pressure was the only variable to have differed substantially between the first 5 and last 2 days of the acclimation period. When treatment phase, day, time of day, dog identification, baseline value, and eye were accounted for, the mean IOP was lower for dogs during treatment phases with gabapentin or tramadol, compared with meloxicam, but this difference was not considered clinically meaningful.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated that a minimum 5-day acclimation period is necessary for IOP measurements to return to baseline in dogs. The statistically identified effect of gabapentin and tramadol on IOP in dogs of the present study warrants further investigation. It is possible that at higher dosages, or in dogs with glaucoma, this effect may become clinically significant.
Comparison of a simple continuous versus simple interrupted suture pattern for the repair of a large, open duodenal defect with a jejunal serosal patch in a canine cadaveric model
Authors: Lorange Maxime , Smeak Daniel D.
Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether jejunal serosal patches could securely seal large, open defects in duodenal segments harvested from canine cadavers and to compare intraluminal pressures at which leakage first occurred and maximal intraluminal pressures for repaired duodenal segments between 2 suture patterns.

SAMPLE

Duodenal and jejunal segments from 9 canine cadavers.

PROCEDURES

20 constructs were created through repair of large, open duodenal defects with circumferential suturing of an intact jejunal segment (jejunal serosal patch). Constructs were randomly assigned to have the serosal patch anastomosed to the duodenal segment by a simple continuous or simple interrupted suture pattern. The pressure at which the first leakage was observed and the maximum pressure obtained during testing were recorded and compared between suture patterns.

RESULTS

Initial leakage pressure was significantly higher with the simple interrupted pattern (mean ± SD, 68.89 ± 5.62 mm Hg), compared with the simple continuous pattern (59.8 ± 20.03 mm Hg). Maximum intraluminal pressures did not significantly differ between the simple interrupted (91 ± 8.27 mm Hg) and simple continuous patterns (90.7 ± 16.91 mm Hg). All constructs, regardless of suture pattern, withstood supraphysiologic pressures.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Jejunal serosal patches adequately sealed large, open duodenal defects and prevented leakage in these constructs. Constructs with simple continuous or simple interrupted suture patterns withstood physiologic and supraphysiologic intraluminal pressures, although constructs with a simple interrupted suture pattern initially leaked at higher pressures.

Published: November 2020

Surgical interventions for intractable and unamenable for dilatation peptic esophageal strictures could sometimes be difficult and challenging. Esophageal perforation management depends on many factors such as underlying esophageal disease, location and cause of perforation, age, overall condition, comorbidities, and time from perforation to presentation. Of great importance for the selection of technique is whether the esophagus is normal and it is worthwhile trying not to remove it or whether it is pathologically changed and it is reasonable to proceed with resection during the initial intervention. We present a patient who has undergone surgery several times in another hospital for perforation of peptic stricture in the distal part of the esophagus and esophageal diversion in its proximal part. Three months later, he was admitted to the Thoracic Surgery Department and resection of the excluded esophagus followed by thoracic duct ligation for chylothorax was performed. After another three months, retrosternal colon replacement and subsequent removal of the gastrostomy were performed.
Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur Syndrome: Two Case Reports and Review of the Literature
Authors: Dourmishev L. , Mironova N. , Popov I. , Rusinova D. , Balabanova M. , Miteva L.
Published: November 2020

Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome (GLPLS) is a rare syndrome characterized by the triad of cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, non-cicatricial alopecia of the axilla and groin and follicular lichen planus eruptions on the trunk and extremities. GLPLS is considered to be a variant of lichen planopilaris. We report two cases that have fulfilled all of the criteria for GLPLS. The first case was a 71-year-old woman, admitted to the Department of Dermatology for pruritic perifollicullar erythema and scaling of the scalp, cicatricial scalp alopecia and hair loss of the axilla and pubic region for five months. Subsequently, follicular hyperkeratotic eruptions and hyperpigmented macules on the skin of the chest and abdomen appeared. The second case was a 48-year-old man with pruritic follicular papules on the face, trunk and extremities for four months. All of the laboratory examinations in both patients were within normal limits. No alternation in the general condition of the patients was observed. Histological examinations in both patients confirmed the diagnosis GLPLS. The patients were treated with systemic and local corticosteroid resulting in marked improvement of the skin lesions; however, cicatricial scalp alopecia showed no response to the treatment.
The Treatment of Final Coda Consonants in the Acquisition of Romanian Phonology
Authors: Buja Elena
Published: November 2020

Final consonant deletion has been attested in the acquisition of English (Johnson–Reimers 2010), Chinese (Hua 2002), Dutch (Fikkert 1994), Hebrew (Adi-Bensaid 2015), Spanish (Goldstein–Citron 2001), and Indonesian (Ulaimah et al. 2016). Previous studies on the acquisition of Romanian phonology (Buja 2015a, b) indicated an extremely low incidence of this phenomenon among the Romanian-speaking children. A possible explanation for it could be the inconsistency in collecting the data (child diaries and longitudinal corpora). By means of an experimental study, i.e. a picture-naming task, this paper aims to prove whether Romanian children do drop final coda consonants. The words describing the pictures presented to the children have a C1(-2)VC1 structure (e.g. drum ‘road, way’, cap ‘head’, nas ‘nose’). The subjects in this small-scale research study were nine monolingual Romanian children aged between 2 and 4 years, who were recorded by their parents. Their spontaneous or imitated productions of the target words were transcribed by using IPA.

The results of the analysis confirm the predictions made in my previous study (Buja 2015b) – namely that final consonant deletion, a very frequent phonological process in the acquisition of various other languages, is not characteristic of the acquisition of Romanian phonology.

Published: November 2020

This research was designed to test the combined efficacy of hot water dipping (HWD) and leaf extracts of Cistus creticus L. subsp. creticus on the storage quality of fresh Valencia oranges. Experiments were laid down according to a completely randomised design with 10 different treatments. Five replications, with five fruits in each replication, were used in the current study, and research was designed to continue for 150 days. Quality characteristics were observed with 30-days interval. The applications of this study were (1) Control [dipping in water at 25°C for 5 min]; (2) HWD at 50°C for 5 min; (3) HWD + Additives (A) [Arabic gum (0.2%), potassium sorbate (0.05%), citric acid (0.05%) and vitamin C (0.05%)] at 50°C for 5 min; (4) Additives alone at 25°C for 5 min; (5) 1.0% C. creticus leaf + HWD + A; (6) 1.0% C. creticus leaf + A; (7) 0.5% C. creticus leaf + HWD + A; (8) 0.5% C. creticus leaf + A; (9) 0.5% C. creticus leaf + HWD and (10) 0.5% C. creticus leaf. According to the results obtained, both the HWD and C. creticus, alone or in combination, were effective in preserving orange weight during storage, preventing pathogenic decay, maintaining visual quality and fruit firmness, delaying the reduction in titratable acidity, increasing ascorbic acid content and reducing respiration rate of the orange fruits. Results also suggested that the combined effect of HWD with C. creticus leaf extracts provided the highest efficacy.
Occurrence and management of invasive alien species in Hungarian protected areas compared to Europe
Authors: Csiszár Ágnes , Kézdy Pál , Korda Márton , Bartha Dénes
Published: November 2020

A questionnaire survey was carried out to examine the problems caused by invasive alien species (IAS) in Hungarian protected areas (PAs). Results from 144 PAs were evaluated and compared with a previous study of 21 European countries. In the European survey, the most important threats were habitat loss and fragmentation, Hungarian respondents put IAS in first place. Eradication, control and prevention were mentioned among the best strategies against invasive species in both surveys, but Hungarian PA managers emphasized the efficiency of habitat restoration and regulatory as well. Comparing the harmful animals and plants occurring in most Hungarian and European PAs, we found nearly 30% similarity. In most Hungarian PAs domestic cat (Felis catus Linnaeus, 1758) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) were indicated as most harmful species. The results of our study draw the attention to the species, which are highly invasive in Hungary, but are missing from the European PAs list, therefore may pose a potential threat to other protected areas of Europe.
The neglected cestode infection: Epidemiology of Hymenolepis nana infection among children in rural Yemen
Authors: Al-Mekhlafi H. M.
Published: November 2020

Hymenolepis nana is the most common cestode reported in humans worldwide. It is prevalent among children in the tropics and subtropics, particularly in rural poor communities where sanitation is inadequate or lacking. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence and significant risk factors of H. nana infection among children in rural Yemen. Faecal samples were collected from 498 children and screened for intestinal parasites by using wet mount, formalin-ether concentration and Kato–Katz techniques. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect demographic, socioeconomic, housing condition, and personal hygiene information. Overall, 77.5 % (386/498) of the children were found to be infected by at least one intestinal parasite species. The overall prevalence of H. nana was 17.5 % (87/498). Multivariate analysis confirmed that an age of < 6 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.28; 95 % (confidence interval [CI] = 2.04, 8.98), presence of other family members infected with H. nana (AOR = 2.48; 95 % CI = 1.45, 4.24), living in the highlands (AOR = 2.87; 95 % CI = 1.56, 5.26), living in a house without improved toilet facilities (AOR = 2.19; 95 % CI = 1.23, 3.88), not washing vegetables before consumption (AOR = 2.11; 95 % CI = 1.06, 4.19), and not washing hands after defecation (AOR = 1.88; 95 % CI = 1.08, 3.27) were the key factors significantly associated with H. nana infection among the studied children. In conclusion, H. nana is prevalent among children in rural Yemen, particularly among preschool-aged children. Thus, an integrated and effective programme to control intestinal parasitic infections should include preschool-aged children. Such a programme should focus on providing health education on hygienic practices, providing adequate sanitation and improved sources of drinking water, and screening and treating other infected family members.
Banal Nationalism Disputes in Venezuela: 1999–2019
Authors: Andrade Gabriel

Michael Billig's idea of “banal nationalism” is a useful concept to approach a frequently neglected aspect of Venezuelan political disputes in the past 20 years. In Billig's formulation, banal nationalism is the constant reaffirmation of a nation's identity, through the display of national symbols. After Hugo Chavez rose to power, there were changes to Venezuela's flag, coat of arms, and banknotes. This aroused disputes that served as a micro-cosmos of Venezuela's larger confrontation. This article reviews the disputes over the changes made to those national symbols. It concludes that, although political and economic issues are at stake in Venezuela's current crisis, there are also ongoing culture wars. In that sense, an analysis of Venezuela's recent crisis would be incomplete without a consideration of its banal nationalism disputes.

Travelers along the Onne-seaport to Eleme-junction road corridor in the hub of the oil and gas industry in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria, have continued to experience very serious traffic congestion travel time delays, culminating into loss of man-hours and declining productivity. This study estimated the economic cost of traffic congestion travel time delay along the corridor, with a view to providing economic justification for developing traffic management policies and road infrastructure, to remedy it. A mixed research approach was adopted in which data was sourced through field survey and from secondary sources. The gross output model was used to estimate the output losses occasioned by productive time losses related to traffic congestion. The study established that the average daily traffic congestion travel time delay along the traffic corridor by travelers in trucks, car, bus and taxi modes are 104.17 minutes, 46.60 minutes, 58.5 minutes and 56.4 minutes respectively. The estimated daily aggregate economic cost of output losses associated with traffic congestion time delay on the corridor is 46049809.8 naira (210923.5USD) for all modes. This justifies any investment in traffic congestion remedial strategies along the route.

The improved TiB2 ceramics were obtained in sintering process at the pressure of 5.5 GPa and temperature of 1550 °C in presence of metallic Co powder. The effect of Co content (ranging from 0 wt.% to 10.0 wt.%) on the phase composition, density, microstructure, Vickers hardness and thermal conductivity of TiB2 ceramics was analyzed. A small amount of new phase Co2B has been created in the reaction of TiB2 and Co. The relative density of sintered TiB2 ceramics reached 98.1 %. When the mass fraction of Co increased, the porosity increased, while the hardness first increased and then decreased. The maximal Vickers hardness values were equal to 33.3 GPa or 28.2 GPa when the used load was of 4.9 N or 9.8 N, respectively. The highest reached value of thermal conductivity was 88.9 W˙m−1 ˙ K−1. The dense TiB2 ceramics with improved hardness and thermal conductivity were ascribed to the high pressure sintering method and Co sintering aid. High pressure sintering method provides a new way for the preparation of ceramics materials.

This article discusses the growth and characterization of (((4-sulfonatophenyl) ammonio)oxy) zirconium (SAOZ) single crystals. Sulphanilic acid incorporated zirconium oxychloride semi-organic single crystals have been synthesized by slow evaporation technique. From the X-ray studies, lattice parameters a = 7.31 Å, b = 7.51 Å, c = 13.92 Å, volume = 765 Å3 have been found and so the crystal has been identified as orthorhombic with non-centrosymmetric space group P212121. The powder XRD examination demonstrated the quality and high crystalline nature of the grown crystal. The presence of functional groups was confirmed by FT-IR technique. The chemical structure of the compound was established by 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The optical transmittance window and the low cutoff wavelength of SAOZ have been identified by UV-Vis-NIR studies. Photoluminescence studies showed a wide blue light emission. TG and DTA examinations were carried out to characterize the thermal behavior of the grown crystal. The mechanical strength of the grown crystal was analyzed by the Vickers microhardness test. The elemental analysis was done by EDAX. The dielectric response of the crystals was analyzed in the frequency range of 50 Hz to 5 MHz at various temperatures and the outcomes were discussed. The SHG efficiency was estimated in correlation with KDP by employing powder Kurtz method.

Authors: Montero-Cubillo Natalia , Estaire José
Published: November 2020

Durante los deslizamientos en suelos arcillosos sobreconsolidados, la resistencia que realmente actúa en discontinuidades, zonas de cizalla, fisuras, y zonas de reorientación de arcillas es la resistencia al corte residual. En este artículo se comparan los valores de parámetros resistentes obtenidos mediante el análisis retrospectivo de un deslizamiento, considerado como el valor más fiable a lo largo del plano de rotura, y los obtenidos mediante diferentes ensayos de resistencia al corte en laboratorio. De este modo, se determina el ensayo de laboratorio que proporciona los valores de resistencia más cercanos a los presentes en el momento de la rotura en campo. Por otro lado, gracias a las elevadas tensiones efectivas aplicadas en los ensayos se incluye un nuevo intervalo de índices de fragilidad de la formación de estudio. Adicionalmente, se propone un procedimiento de ensayo de corte anular alternativo, que combina los métodos propuestos en las normativas europea (EN ISO 17892-10:2018), británica (BS 1377-7:1990) y norteamericana (ASTM D6467-06a:2006).

A região do Distrito Federal de Brasília possui uma camada superficial formada por solo geralmente argiloso, poroso e colapsível cuja espessura varia de poucos centímetros a vários metros. Devido à presença dessa camada de solo poroso colapsível no Distrito Federal é comum o uso de fundações profundas. As inclusões têm sido estudadas e utilizadas com a finalidade de controlar os recalques e diminuir os custos nas fundações de edifícios de pouca altura sobre solo mole, porém, no caso do Distrito Federal elas objetivam superar os problemas oriundos do colapso estrutural da camada de solo poroso. Os autores têm estudado o uso de fundações com inclusões rígidas como alternativa para o controle de recalque nos solos colapsíveis do Distrito Federal, demonstrando seu bom desempenho. Neste trabalho são avaliadas, usando-se modelagem numérica axissimétrica, as tensões sob radier induzidas pelos topos das inclusões rígidas implantadas no solo colapsível de fundação. Para isso foram realizados vários modelos onde foram variados os espaçamentos entre inclusões, a altura de camada de distribuição e a estratigrafia. Os resultados mostram a influência das características geométricas da fundação e do tipo de estratigrafia no desenvolvimento de tensões sob o radier. As análises mostram ainda ser possível definir o arranjo geométrico em que as tensões induzidas sob o radier pelas cabeças das inclusões são mínimas, o que constitui uma vantagem deste tipo de solução de projeto de fundação uma vez que diminui a solicitação estrutural do próprio radier reduzindo o seu custo.

Subject. The article addresses conditions for sustainable development of the Russian economy.
Objectives. The purpose is to link the limit of sustainability of the Russian economy with required conditions.
Methods. The study draws on the systems approach, using the methods of statistical, neural network, and cluster analysis.
Results. I describe scientific ideas about sustainable development of economy, which have been developed in theoretical and practical activities. The World Bank data on environment, social affairs and governance on 17 key sustainable development topics, covering environmental, social and management categories, are used to determine conditions for sustainability of the Russian economy. The neural network analysis of the importance of indicators’ rate of increment shows a hierarchy of priorities. The cluster analysis of indicators’ rate of increment identifies significant clusters. The analysis of key priorities of sustainable development of the Russian economy enables to reveal significant deviations in political stability and in access to electricity.
Conclusions. Conditions for sustainable development of the Russian economy are determined by their proximity to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Identifying these conditions in the globalizing world creates an understanding of the real limit and opportunities of the country's development.
