Published: October 2024

Global challenges (increased consumption of georesources, climatic changes, limited reserves) increase the relevance of the problems of growing waste accumulation and environmentally-sound modernization of mineral extraction. In this regard, the existing approaches to the design of geotechnologies for metal mining need to be improved based on a concept of so-called circulation waste management and ecologization of technological processes. The paper is devoted to the issue of formation of conceptual bases and directions of ecologization of geotechnologies at leaching metals from polymetallic ore processing wastes and wastewater. The study presents recommendations for improving in-situ leaching of ores in blocks, allowing to determine the optimal conditions for increasing the completeness of subsoil use and reducing environmental damage. It was revealed that at metal extraction with solution circulation through brine chambers the content of Na, Cl, SO4 and Ca ions in dialysate was low, while without circulation through brine, it significantly exceeded corresponding MPCs. This proves the fundamental feasibility of controlling natural leaching processes by enhancing the oxidizing potential of natural solvents through the addition of industrial oxidizing agents. It was found that increasing the duration of agitation leaching (both with and without mechanoactivation) leads to a uniform expansion of the local maximums of Pb yield from the pulp when the minimum NaCl concentration decreases from 11–12 to 7% at H2SO4 concentration of 0.6%. One of key results of the study is justifying the expansion of the use of disintegrators to realize targeted activation of tailings. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the proved feasibility of optimizing the flow sheet of electrochemical extraction of metals from wastewater on the basis of the obtained regularities of the use of brine circulation through brine chambers. In addition, the totality of the obtained results of using a disintegrator for reextraction of lead from geomaterials will allow developing a methodology for calculating the parameters of mechanoactivation action to increase the degree of metal recovery from the tailings of North Ossetia-Alania’s (Zgidskoe, Sadonskoe, Arkhonskoe deposits) polymetallic ores beneficiation. The most promising way for further research is to substantiate methods of using underground space for complete removal of wastes (wastewater and tailings) after their multistage treatment.

Günümüz iş dünyasında karşılaşılan en büyük zorluklardan birisi yetenek açığıdır. Birçok sektörde temel işlevleri yerine getirecek becerilere sahip çalışan eksikliği, tedarik zinciri yönetiminde de yaygın bir sorundur. Kadınların bu alandaki katılımı, yenilikçi ve etkili tedarik zinciri çözümleri geliştirmede kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Kadınların bu sektördeki stratejik önemine rağmen, bu alandaki iş ortamları çoğunlukla erkek egemen yapısını sürdürmektedir. Deneyimli profesyonellerin azlığı, sadece tedarik zinciri operasyonlarının verimliliğini olumsuz etkilemekle kalmamakta aynı zamanda yeni yeteneklerin gelişimini de sınırlamaktadır. Mevcut literatürde tedarik zinciri yönetiminde kadının yeri ve önemi ile ilgili yapılmış sınırlı sayıda akademik çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, tedarik zinciri endüstrisindeki cinsiyet farkındalığına ilişkin yapılmış çalışmaları sistematik bir literatür taraması ve içerik analizi yoluyla incelemek ve bu alandaki mevcut durumu ortaya koymaktır. MAXQDA nitel analiz programı kullanılarak yapılan içerik analizi, sektörel eğilimleri belirlemekte ve çalışmaların içeriğini derinlemesine incelemektedir. Çalışma bulgularına göre bu güne kadar yapılan çalışmalar, tedarik zinciri yönetiminde nitelikli iş gücünün sağlanması için kadınların stratejik önemini ve bu alanda deneyimli kadın profesyonellerin azlığının hem operasyonel etkinlik hem de yeni yeteneklerin gelişimi açısından ciddi engeller oluşturduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Bu nedenle, tedarik zinciri ve lojistikte kadının yerine yönelik daha fazla araştırma yapılmasının gerekliliği üzerinde durulmakta ve bu tür araştırmaların tedarik zinciri yönetimi pratiğine önemli katkılar sağlayabileceği belirtilmektedir.

Published: October 2024

Norm activation theory (NAT) provides an effective approach to understanding pro-environmental consumer behaviors such as recycling. This study aims to propose and provide empirical evidence for an extended NAT, which includes cognitive, affective, social, and situational factors in the recycling context. Particularly, roles of subjective and objective knowledge, emotional reactions to environmental degradation, subjective norms, perceived behavioral cost, and household support for norm activation and recycling behavior were investigated. Data was collected through an online survey with 531 consumers in Türkiye. Analysis results showed that in addition to the impacts of AC and AR, subjective norms, subjective knowledge, behavioral cost, household support, and emotional reactions are influential for moral norm activation. For recycling behavior, subjective and objective knowledge, cost, and household support were found to be effective, in addition to the impact of moral norms. Findings contribute to a deeper understanding of recycling behavior through the NAT framework.
Foreign internships of Russian zoologists. Based on the materials of A. D. Nekrasov's ego-documents
Authors:   S.I. Vavilov Institute for the History of Science and Technology, Fando Roman A.
Published: October 2024

The article presents some aspects of the biography of the famous zoologist, science organizer and one of the first Soviet historians of biology A.D. Nekrasov. The aim of the study was to reconstruct the daily life of scientists at marine biological stations opened in Europe. To realize this goal, it was necessary to study a large array of documentary heritage deposited in the A.D. Nekrasov's fund (f. 48) of the Department of Manuscripts and Rare Books of the Moscow State University Scientific Library. The considered ego-documents of the scientist are introduced into the scientific turnover for the first time and give an idea about the organization of research at marine biological stations and international scientific communications. Nekrasov began his scientific activity at the Moscow University under the guidance of S.A. Zernov, N.Y. Zograf and N.V. Bogoyavlensky. The scientist conducted his hydrobiological research at biological stations in Naples, Saint-Va-la-Hague, Villefranche-Sur-Mer, and later he himself was the initiator of the organization of the biological station of Nizhny Novgorod University on the Pustynskie Lakes. Nekrasov's works were devoted to anatomy, morphology and embryology of animals, hydrobiology, ecology. At the biological stations he got acquainted with outstanding foreign scientists - S. Lo Bianco, E. Perrier, R. Woltereck, G. Kupelwieser. Introduction with the experimental work of European biologists attracted a large number of Russian researchers. At the stations at different times Nekrasov met his countryman - N.K. Koltsov, K.E. Lindeman, V.T. Sheviakov, I.P. Zabusov, M.M. Davydov, P.Y. Garyaev, N.A. Kasyanov. They adopted completely new forms of organization of biological research, experimental methods, studied species diversity of marine fauna, got acquainted with new discoveries of European science. In addition to research and educational component, sea stations pursued cultural goals: artists came here, musical evenings were arranged, a library worked, excursions to nearby cities were organized. Internships at foreign marine stations became an integral feature of Russian zoologists in the late 19th - early 20th centuries and served as an impetus for the creation of similar institutions in Russia.
Transformation of property relations in Russia at the turn of the 1980s–1990s: Prerequisites, content, consequences
Authors:   Vologda State University, Gulin Konstantin A.
Published: October 2024

The transformation of property relations became one of the most significant components of radical changes in Russia at the end of the twentieth century. Its main form was the privatization of state property, which has no analogues in terms of historical scale and content. In this article, the transformation of property relations in Russia at the turn of the 1980s–1990s is reviewed within the problem of “socialist public property” and its evolution in the late Soviet period. Necessity to update the historical approach to the study of the transformation of property relations in Russia is associated with the need for acquiring a deeper understanding of this process’ historical background. The article also provides the solution for the problem of characterizing the content of denationalization and privatization processes at the turn of the 1980s–1990s and its consequences in terms of an individual’s changing place in the system of property relations. We draw the conclusion that problems of the Soviet society, such as: a) contradiction between “government” and “public” property categories; b) inequality in terms of the disposal and usage of property objects between members of the partyeconomic nomenclature and most population, as well as between different groups of the nomenclature; c) exclusion of the majority of citizens from, formally, “national” but, in practice, state property, subsequently had a significant impact on processes of changing property relations. It predetermined an active struggle between different administration levels and so-called “spontaneous” privatization already in the late 1980s. Mass privatization of the 1990s itself was, in general, a natural result of the process of public property “governmentalization”, and it was aimed at consolidating the party-economic elite’s de facto control over production and subsequent redistribution of power in society. Large groups of working people, who lost their formal status of “quasi-owners” in relation to former objects of socialist property, continued to remain only hired workers. This, in particular, caused the absence of serious social cataclysms during rapid privatization processes of the early 1990s. As the information basis, a wide range of regulatory and legal acts of authorities and administrations of various levels, state statistics data, archival documents, periodical materials, results of public opinion polls, and data from literary sources were used.

Published: October 2024

The article is devoted the process metric reform of the 1920s, which is one of the most important parts of the history of Russian and Siberian metrology and an integral part of the socio-economic modernization of the USSR, in the Barnaul district. The purpose of the article was to establish the circumstances, timing and results of the metric reform in the Barnaul district, as well as to identify problems and difficulties that arose during the transition from the russian measurement system to the metric system. The main sources for writing the article were the files of the funds of the State Archive of the Altai Territory, which present the records of the Altai provincial and Barnaul district executive committees, the Altai provincial and Barnaul district interdepartmental metric commissions, administrative bodies and departments of executive committees, institutions and enterprises on the progress of metric reform and the introduction of the metric system; the files of the State Archive of the Novosibirsk Region were also used. The article describes the process of transition to the metric system in the Barnaul district in such sectors as trade, land use planning, forestry, public education and municipal economy, the main problems and difficulties that arose during the introduction of reform in various sectors of the national economy, and also reflects the activities of the Barnaul district interdepartmental metric commission in 1924-1928. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn about the progress of the metric reform in the Barnaul district. Confirmed that the main problems and difficulties in carrying out the reform in Altai generally coincided with the problems in other regions south Western Siberia (absence of qualified metrologists, lack of factories and workshops for the production of new metric measuring instruments, lack of funding). Noted that the main part of the activities within the framework of the metric reform in the Barnaul district was carried out in 1925-1927.

The article examines the state notary, the key figure of the notary corps, using the example of Tomsk and adjacent territories. The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the social and professional portrait of the Tomsk state notary in 1923-1944 in the context of changes in the requirements for the position of a state notary. To achieve this purpose, the following tasks are set: to consider the composition of state notaries, analyze the main regulatory and practical requirements for candidates for the position of a state notary, study the dynamics of changes, draw up a social and professional portrait of the Tomsk state notary in 1923-1944 and identify its specifics. The relevance of the research is due to public interest in the problems of regional social history and the development of human resources. The main sources for the study were unpublished documents from the State Archives of the Tomsk, Novosibirsk and Kemerovo regions, legislative, regulatory, directive and administrative acts of state authorities. In the course of the research, the author made the following conclusions. During the period under review, persons aged 25 to 42 years old were appointed to the position of Tomsk state notary, by origin – workers or peasants, by place of birth – natives of Siberia, by gender: before 1930 – 90% men, since 1931 – 100% women, by party affiliation – mostly members (candidates) of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Bolsheviks, according to the level of education – with primary and secondary education, with higher education, there were no notaries in Tomsk. Since the mid-1930s, there has been a tightening of the qualification requirements for candidates for the position of state notary: the presence of secondary professional education or compulsory training in special legal courses. The situation with professional experience in law has also changed: if in the 1930s, candidates mostly had work experience only in the secretariat of justice, then in the early 1940s they previously worked as court officers and people's judges. Among all the criteria for selection for the position of state notary, the candidate's party affiliation and political loyalty were of decisive importance. In the 1930s, which were crucial for the state notary, the feminization of the Tomsk state notary corps took place.

Introduction: Air pollution and air quality are growing concerns among urban citizens of Southeast Asia, especially the University students who devote most of their days to the vicinity of campus. However, there is limited data available on the extent of the problem, as well as an understanding of the knowledge of and perceptions of people who may be exposed to poor air quality. Methods: This focused study evaluated University students’ opinions, perceptions, and behavioral responses to local air quality in the Iskandar Puteri, Johor region of Malaysia using an online questionnaire, and measurements of NO2, SO2, formaldehyde, and particulate matter levels in the area using diffusion tubes. All air quality parameters were within the standards recommended by the local environmental authority, however, NO2 levels exceeded the recommended World Health Organization (WHO) standards at all sites. Results: Questionnaire findings indicate that students most commonly suffered from respiratory diseases, and were very concerned about air pollution and its impacts. Respondents perceived the situation to be worse in the afternoons and weekends, corroborated by the PM2.5 readings in the area. Preferred preventive measures included wearing masks and limiting active time outdoors. Conclusions: The evidence from this study highlighted the need to improve air quality in Iskandar Puteri as the NO2 level exceeded international standards for human health at all study sites. This could be supported by educational programs for industry, limitations on traffic emissions, and general awareness of air quality issues present locally.

Pancreas cancer (С25) is a cancer with an unfavorable prognosis, remains one of the most lethal types of cancer, at the national level mortality exceeds morbidity. The analysis of patient survival at the population level on the scale of federal districts is not carried out in Russia with the exception of the North-West Federal District. Considering that the levels of standardized rates of morbidity and mortality from pancreas cancer are close in Russia and NWFD, and the value of index of accuracy practically coincide, the results of the population cancer registry (PCR) of the NWFD RF actually characterize the state of cancer care on average in Russia, with the exception of autonomous districts. The aim of the second stage of the study was to identify the true state of the effectiveness of the oncological service in Russia by calculating a key parameter – evaluating its performance, specifically, calculating the leading parameter – the survival rate of patients, taking into account the stage, localization, histological structure, and the possibility of curing patients The conducted research made it possible to determine the effectiveness of providing specialized oncological care to patients with pancreas cancer at the federal district level. An increase in the one–year observed survival rate for the period from 2000 to 2004 to 2015-2019 was established from 16.0 to 21.8% or by 36.3%, and five–year from 5.1 to 6.0%. The median survival rate did not reach 4 years. A significant difference in the levels of one-year survival of patients in different age groups has been established. Significant defects in the distribution of patients according to the stage of the disease were revealed. The specification of patient survival by detailed localization groups and major histotypes of tumors was studied.
The Woodland Muskox Bootherium bombifrons (Artiodactyla, Bovidae) from Hebron, Licking County, Ohio, USA and its Paleoecology in the Great Lakes Region

Published: October 2024

The braincase with horn cores of a male, extinct woodland muskox (Bootherium bombifrons) was recovered from a wetland near Hebron, Licking County, Ohio, in 1995. The fossil remains were preserved in sediments associated with a pro-glacial lake on the eastern margin of the Scioto lobe of the Laurentide ice sheet. An 853 cm long sediment core was analyzed, and its pollen record was used to reconstruct changes in the region’s late Pleistocene paleoecology, which was barren landscape immediately following deglaciation. This transitioned to a spruce-dominated forest, and finally a deciduous forest. While most previous records of Bootherium have been associated with spruce-dominated habitat, the Hebron muskox lived in an environment with forests dominated by deciduous trees with only minor amounts of spruce. A paleoclimatic model—based on multiple records of Bootherium—indicates the wide distribution of the species south of the maximum continental ice sheets was due to its lesser cold tolerance and higher warm temperature tolerance than the modern muskox. Based on 2 averaged direct AMS radiocarbon measurements on the muskox skull, its age is 11,086 ± 18 radiocarbon years (13,093 to 12,926 calendar years BP) making it the youngest radiocarbon dated individual of Bootherium bombifrons. This date suggests the eventual extinction of the species may be related to the decline of its preferred habitat as climates changed at the end of the Pleistocene.

El sistema de protección social de las personas dependientes en Alemania
Authors:   Universidad de A Coruña, Martínez Girón Jesús
Published: October 2024

El sistema alemán de protección social de la dependencia tiene un interés comparatista muy grande, que ha llamado la atención incluso de la más reciente doctrina científica norteamericana. Se encuentra regulado en el Libro XI del Código alemán de Seguridad Social, que entró en vigor en 1995. Esta norma regula una contingencia de carácter contributivo, en la que las cotizaciones sociales se complementan con el copago. En él, el papel principal lo juegan las prestaciones en especie, eventualmente realizadas por los familiares del beneficiario, aunque tienda a favorecerse la atención por medio de cuidadores profesionales. Al formar parte del sistema de seguridad social, la gestión del mismo está confiada a entes gestores específicos de la seguridad social alemana, garantizándose la sostenibilidad del sistema a través de un fondo especial, que no podrá utilizarse hasta el año 2035.

Published: October 2024

La mejora de las condiciones laborales está más equilibrada cuando se logra a través de la reforma de la legislación social. La protección de los intereses de los trabajadores está depositada en los tribunales del orden social, la Inspección de trabajo y los sindicatos. Es bastante dudoso el grado de preparación de los órganos administrativos de contratación para proteger los intereses de los trabajadores. Los miembros de los órganos administrativos no han recibido formación en Derecho del Trabajo y Seguridad Social. Los tribunales del orden social, la inspección de trabajo y los sindicatos tienten una regulación legal que les facilita las herramientas necesarias para alcanzar sus fines y objetivos. Se puede considerar un hecho notorio que la Inspección de se encuentra en una posición mucho más efectiva que los órganos administrativos para garantizar los interés de los trabajadores. Está mas allá de toda discusión que la Inspección de Trabajo está más preparada para establecer criterios unificados que eviten decisiones contradictorias y situaciones discriminatorias.
Determination and Analysis of Working Diameters and Working Angle of the Torus Cutter Blade in Multi-axis Machining in the Aspect of Tool Wear
Authors: Gdula Michał
Published: October 2024

The aim of this study is to provide a theoretical and experimental analysis of the multi-axis milling process by the torus milling cutter of nickel-based superalloy parts in terms of surface quality and tool wear. In the analytical part, using, among other things, matrix calculus and trigonometric relationships, mathematical models were developed to describe the relationships between the tool axis orientation and the geometric parameters of the cutting layer at the contact point. On this basis, mathematical relationships for contact diameter and effective diameter were derived. The basis for these considerations is the very rarely considered working angle of the cutter blade. In part of the experimental study, machining tests were carried out for selected kinematic variants of multi-axis cutting. Based on the results obtained, it was found that as the tool axis inclination angle increases, the contact diameter increases. The effective diameter at the upper characteristic point of the cutting layer increases up to a certain angle of inclination, after which it begins to decrease. The rotational angle of the tool axis does not affect any of the diameters, but it does affect the displacement of the contact point, the values of the working angle of the tool blade and the feed-related component decrease. The result of this displacement is a change from climb milling to conventional milling, which has significantly degraded surface quality and tool life. The best results of the machining test were obtained when only the angle of inclination of the tool axis was used. It was concluded that the parameter tool blade working angle can be a control variable in a multi-axis milling process and has a major impact on the physical aspects of the cutting process.

Thyroid disorders are most common endocrine disorder in India but the prevalence studies on these dysfunction is limited.

All subjects who visited the hospital for a period of four months to have thyroid function tests (TFTs) on their first outpatient visit were included in the study.

Thyroid disordrs were present in 22.11 % of the total 2510 subjects . The prevalence rate was higher in females (64.8%) than males (35.2%) with (p=0.0003).

The prevalence of hypothyroidism in the study population was 64.32 % (n = 357). In our study those with primary hypothyroidism were predominant (55.18 %, 197 out of 357) and 43.1 % (154 out of 357) were having sub clinical hypothyroidism and 6 of 357 were having secondary hypothyroidism. The prevalence rate of hyperthyroidism was 52.6 % (n-188) . The majority were subclinical hyperthyroidism (65.90 % , 124 out of 188) ,30.8 % (58 out of 188) had primary hyperthyroidism and3% ( 6 out of 188) had secondary hyperthyroidism.

In our study thyroid function abnormalities were noted in 15.73 % of all subjects. Thyroid disorders were common in age of >20 years than 20-40 ,40-60 and and >60 year categories. The prevalence of primary hypothyroidism was found to be higher than subclinical hypothyroidism, while in hyperthyroidism subclinical condition was predominant compared to primary hyperthyroidism.
Personalistyczna koncepcja kultury Jana Pawła II. Próba interpretacji antropologicznej wybranych przemówień
Authors: Gładkowski Krzysztof
Published: October 2024

W tym artykule podjęto analizę koncepcji kultury Jana Pawła II, określając ją jako „personalistyczna”. Rozważania osnuto wokół trzech podstawowych pytaniach badawczych: Czy koncepcja kultury Jana Pawła II jest personalistyczna? Czy koncepcję kultury Jana Pawła II można zestawić z innymi koncepcjami kultury w antropologii kulturowej? Jeśli tak, to z jakimi? Co może wnieść personalistyczna koncepcja kultury do teorii antropologii kulturowej? Jako podstawę analizy przyjęto przemówienie Jana Pawła II wygłoszone 2 czerwca 1980 roku w UNESCO. Inne przemówienia Papieża stanowią uzupełnienie dla wyników analizy Przemówienia w UNESCO. Ustalono, że koncepcja Jana Pawła II jest opartą na podstawach filozoficznych i teologicznych personalistyczną refleksją o kulturze. Można ją zestawić z ideacyjnym pojęciem kultury oraz teoriami antropologii symbolicznej (interpretacyjnej). Myśl Jana Pawła II może wnieść przede wszystkim holistyczne pojęcie człowieka jako istoty cielesno-duchowej, twórcy kultury kształtowanego przez kulturę. Koncepcja personalistyczna może być dobrą podstawą do pełnej holistycznej teorii kultury opartej na koncepcji osoby.
An Introduction to Acting “Together with Others” and Participation as the Basis for Community in the Thought of Karol Wojtyla
Authors: Panasiak Brian
Published: October 2024

Karol Wojtyła’s conception of community is an often overlooked part of his vast body of writing. While much energy is dedicated to his ethics and theology, little attention is given to how he defined the way in which human persons interact with one another and build the communities and societies wherein they find themselves. Central to this definition of community are the concepts of “acting ‘together with others’” and “participation.” For Wojtyła, these two intimately personal and subjective aspects of the human person serve as both the basis and mode from which authentic human communities emerge. This work presents an introduction to Wojtyła’s basis for community through analyzing “acting ‘together with others’” and “participation,” thus placing the primary impetus for inter-personal action strictly within the tradition of metaphysical anthropology and personalism which Wojtyła himself embraced. In doing so, an overview of Wojtyła’s thought is presented that is based on his most influential philosophical works concerning community, particularly Person and Act and The Person: Subject and Community, with this serving as a realistic philosophical background for subsequent analysis of both the human person and communities generally.
