Authors: Mykhailo Zinchenko , Oleh Potap , Volodimir Shibakinsky
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the study is to study the possibility of controlling the dimensions of rolled products using indirect methods of assessing changes in the thickness of rolled products. For this purpose, a study was carried out on the measurement of the length of rolled products using a length meter, which is based on the principle of measuring the length of the rolled products by rotation of the rolls. Comparison of the measurement results with the actual length of the rolled product confirmed the possibility of using this device for measuring the length of the rolled product in the flow. During the study of the rolling process, the length of the rolls after the finishing stand, the thickness of the rolling stock, the temperature of the rolls before the finishing stand, and the motor current of the main drive of the finishing stand were measured. The measured results showed a decrease in the length of the rolled product and the motor current, which is associated with the wear of the fabric bearings and gauges of the rolls, which leads to an increase in the thickness of the rolled product. Calculating the average values of rolled length, motor current, and rolled temperature makes it possible to evaluate the change in rolled thickness due to the wear of bearings and roll gauges and to compensate for its influence on the dimensions of rolled products in a timely manner.

Published: April 2024

The effect of modification on the mechanical properties of the secondary aluminum casting alloy (wt.%: 0,528 Mg, 1,124 Cu, 11,539 Si, 84,969 Al, 0,905 Fe, 0,692 Zn, 0,242 Mn) without heat treatment was determined by the introduction of silicon carbide with a particle size of 1-3 μm in the amount of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 wt. %. Castings were made in steel molds. It is established that the strength of unmodified alloy (σв) is 110 - 120 MPa. When the content of SiC in the alloy from 0.1% to 0.2%, the indicators of σв increase from 130-145 MPa to 155-166 MPa, respectively. Increasing the SiC content to 0.3% leads to a decrease in σв values in the range of 117 - 127 MPa. Hardness indices (HВ): unmodified alloy - 42 - 43, alloy with a content of 0.1% SiC - 43 - 44, with a content of 0.2% SiC - 46 - 47, with a content of 0.3% SiC - 43 - 44. Determination of the density of cast metal obtained in a steel mold and in a sandy-clay form was carried out by the method of hydrostatic weighing of samples in СCl4. It has been established that the density of the alloy of castings with a silicon carbide content of 0.1% is 2761 kg/m3, and that of the unmodified alloy is 2715 kg/m3. With an increase in the silicon carbide content to 0.2%, the density of the metal is 2735 kg/m3. With a SiC content of 0.3 wt.%, the density of the alloy is 2752 kg/m3. The density of the metal of the castings obtained in the sandy-clay form with the modification of 0.1% SiC is 2673 kg/m3, with 0.3% SiC - 2676 kg/m3.

Authors: Evgen Sorokin , Volodimir Kamkin , Katerina Baykina , Natalija Kashirna
Published: April 2024

Purpose: assessment of the use of coal as a component of coal charge based on the definition of a set of technical and technological properties. The main consumption of hard coal is concentrated in the power industry, where coal is used by burning to obtain a certain amount of energy. However, the use of fossil fuels only for obtaining heat and energy is not rational, since this type of raw material belongs to non-renewable energy sources. The study of the structure and properties of individual brands of coal will allow to develop fundamentally new technological techniques for preparing coal for coking by means of targeted regulation of cohesive properties for rational use.

Published: April 2024

A feature of the computer solution of matrix problems is that often there is a problem of accumulation of rounding errors. This may lead to an incorrect result. J.H. Wilkinson developed efficient methods for finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices based on the well-known Francis-Kublanovska’s QR-algorithm. Now there are new problems of algebra, the methods of solution of which require further improvement. There is a problem of reducing a few initial matrices into a block-diagonal or block-triangular form. This requires the development of a new approaches to solving the problems of finding the centralizer of matrices and constructing an algebra with a unit generated by these matrices. For the first of these problems, it was possible to create an effective method. The next problem is to create an efficient algorithm for constructing the algebra generated by matrices

Published: April 2024

The task of assessing the areas of chemical pollution near the highway, where protective screens of different geometric shapes are located, is considered. The purpose of the work is to develop numerical models for calculating pollution zones formed near protective screens, as well as conducting a laboratory experiment to analyze the patterns of formation of pollution zones near screens of a complex geometric shape. For mathematical modeling of the process of formation of pollution zones near the protective screen, the equation of convective-diffusion transfer of impurities is used. This equation takes into account atmospheric diffusion, wind speed, emission intensity of a chemically hazardous substance, the location of the emission source, and the shape of the protective screen. The Navier-Stokes equation and the Laplace equation for the velocity potential are used to solve the problem of aerodynamics. Finite-difference methods are used for numerical integration of modeling equations. A package of application programs was created on the basis of the developed numerical models. Numerical models and a package of programs have been built, allowing to study the process of the formation of areas of pollution near the highway in almost real time. The results of the computational experiment are presented.

Published: April 2024

Steel alloys containing manganese and boron are increasingly being used in mechanical engineering, including automotive and agricultural sectors. Products of critical application made from such steels, including hollow ones, have a high level of mechanical properties, surface hardness, and wear resistance. These products are obtained by profiling of previously electrically welded round pipes with a hot sheet stamping or pressure treatment (drawing, cold rolling, stamping). Technological parameters of combined processing methods are determined by the results of experimental research, which, due to the complexity and cost of materials, leads to significant expenses. The application of mathematical modeling can reduce the number of experiments and forecast the quality of finished products. The research focuses on investigating the possibility of obtaining square hollow profiles by means of push-pulling through one stand of a pipe welding unit and defining the requirements for geometric parameters of the billet.

Published: April 2024

The main goal of the work is to predict the complex of physicochemical and thermophysical properties of additives from the standpoint of their contribution to the directed formation of the quality of steels. As a scientific basis for the development of analytical dependencies, the work uses the original concept of directional chemical bonding, the core of which is the consideration of metal melts as chemically unified systems, and not a mechanical mixture of constituent elements, and taking into account the contribution of all components, even in small concentrations, as well as the accumulated experience of creating information and analytical systems for forecasting and management of iron and steel smelting processes at the Iron and Steel Institute of Z.I. Nekrasov National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The information component is a database on the properties of metallurgical melts, namely the "Ferroalloys" database chosen as the starting point for modeling, which is continuously updated with modern data. A successful combination of information and scientific resources ensured the development of stable models with high forecast accuracy (R2 ≥ 0.95) for domestic brands of ferroalloys (ferromanganese, ferrosilicomanganese, metallic manganese). The findings presented in this work are recommended for integration into the automated technological process management systems of steelmaking with the aim of further forming a competitive final product.

Published: April 2024

Heat exchangers are the most common and simplest equipment for cooling gas streams, but heat must be removed for their operation. However, by using a Laval nozzle, it is possible to achieve cooling of the gas flow due to a physical phenomenon in which the gas flow velocity is reduced to the speed of sound. The efficiency of such a nozzle depends on the change in the gas flow rate in it. Therefore, to regulate the mode of operation of the Laval nozzle, its design is proposed, which is simpler than the existing ones, cheaper to manufacture and operate. The nozzle is made of an elastic material - silicone, and is located in a special housing, into which a compression nut is inserted, which compresses the nozzle in the axial direction. Due to this achievement, the inner opening of the nozzle is reduced. Conducted simulation studies of the proposed design of the nozzle made it possible to apply its deformed state, developed and printed on a 3D printer of a mold - to make a silicone nozzle and conduct its research. After conducting a study of the silicone nozzle, it was established that the diameter of the hole at the critical section without deformation in the axial direction is 11.8 mm, and at a deformation of 10 mm - 8.6 mm.

Authors: Vladyslav Tsaryk
Published: April 2024

Object recognition on web pages is the process of automatic detection and classification of objects on website images. The work analyzes the methods of recognition of objects on digital images for segmentation of websites for further analysis. Based on the analysis of the methods of recognition of objects on the images of web pages, it is concluded that deep learning methods can be very effective for recognizing objects with a lot of data, but they may require significant computing resources and data for training. Geometric functions can be effective for recognizing objects with standardized shapes and sizes, but they can be less effective for recognizing objects with high variability in forms and sizes. The choice of object recognition method on the images of websites depends on various factors, such as the size of the data set, the characteristics of the identified objects, computing resources available for use, and many other factors.

Published: April 2024

A detailed review is presented in this work on the future perspectives of lithium-ion batteries with emphasis on potential of their application in portable electronic devices. As specific energy and power are key criteria in portable electronics applications, the Li-ion batteries have a clear advantage over other chemistries. The portable electronics sector requires miniaturization of batteries, while maintaining high capacity and power as well as complying with strict safety standards. Although LCO batteries still are dominant chemistry for portable electronics, it will gradually lose market share to NMC and NCA cells. These also have advantage of lower content of cobalt, which will become necessary within the overall strongly growing Li-ion battery market.

Published: April 2024

The information technology integration processes into manufacturing and logistics are often described by the term "Industry 4.0". This term includes various approaches in digitalization, automation and interconnection in various industrial sectors. The integration of advanced technologies into manufacturing creates large flows of data that conventional industry information systems are often unable to process and respond to in a timely manner. That can create delays and errors that can lead to inefficiencies in supply chains, delays in production, and communication between industrial sectors in addition in problems of transparency and accountability of information systems in the "Industry 4.0" ecosystem, problems with security, data integrity, real-time process tracking, etc. Therefore, it is an important task to research new methods of managing data flows in information systems in the "Industry 4.0" ecosystem, which can improve interaction and accelerate the adoption of information technologies in industry and logistics.

Published: April 2024

The appearance of the coronavirus (Corona 19) in 2019 has literally caused putting our routines on holdor even stopping our lives. The first images and videos which went viral were as they were scenes from some sci-fifilm. Firstly, it took a certain amount of time until people of different nations grasped the information, accept it andstarted behaving according to officials’ advices. Then, some nations behavior was responsible and disciplinaryopposite to others whose behavior led to serious consequences. Later, the trauma appeared. The Greeks used theword trauma for "wound". The first known use of trauma was circa 1693 and in the past, it was only associatedwith an injury, as a wound, to living tissue caused by an extrinsic agent. In the past, people used this term forparticular physical injuries, but nowadays it is also used when one refers to emotional wounds. Theterm psychiatry was first coined by the German physician Johann Christian Reil in 1808 and literally means the'medical treatment of the soul'. As a result of the introducing of psychiatry and prioritizing the mental healthtoday we are aware that a certain traumatic event can leave psychological symptoms after a considerabletime, although the physical injuries have healed. By developing of medicine people in the 20th centurybecame more and more informed that a person’s mental health is very important. Unfortunately , humanbeings are first and foremost emotional creatures. The first known use of emotion was in 1579 and, as a term,was used much earlier than trauma and it has a substantial influence on the cognitive processes in humans, includingperception, memory and reasoning, attention and learning, and even problem solving. Therefore, emotions help usto communicate with others, build better relationships etc. As humans, we are exposed to all kinds of stress on adaily basis. It can be defined as any type of change that causes emotional, physical or psychological strain. Someof us react, but some of us don't; some are tense, some are more relaxed, and yet each of us deals with stressdifferently. Since it has been proven that many diseases are stress-related people started to work on reducingstress so as to preserve and improve their mental health. It is not preferable to ignore and minimize theimportance, presence and reactions of stress since an extreme stress can lead to trauma. The psychologicalreaction to emotional trauma now has a recognized name: post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Hence isit from extreme stress, a loss of a partner, a death of family member, natural disaster, wartime combat, or sexual orphysical abuse, its symptoms include anxiety, flashbacks, depression, and recurring nightmares. The PTSDcan also occur after an extremely long and stressful event, such as pandemic, and it reflects on allpopulation – from teenagers to elderly. The fact that it is a collective matter is extremely worrying. And canyou imagine, only three years ago we only believed that one’s mental health is a state of well-being andmajor factor for quality life.
TRUST BARRIERS TO INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Bojkov Vance , Goceva Marieta
Published: April 2024

Trust is the lifeblood of all interpersonal and social relationships. Gaining and maintaining trust ininterpersonal relationships is a long and ongoing process that requires continuous investment. Many studies showthat people naturally react more strongly to dishonesty than to any other trait. One of the biggest causes of mistrustis the different ways of looking at the world resulting from different typological orientations. Different personalitytypes are often not communicated on the "same frequency". Believing in people that they can do the best on theirown leads to greater inefficiency and dissatisfaction. Whether the message will be well understood depends on: thecontent, the choice of certain signals, the way of communication, the form (the functioning of the verbal and nonverbalcommunication system). There are many barriers to intercultural communication such as anxiety, stereotypes,prejudice, non-verbal interactions, ethnocentrism, xenophobia, racism, discrimination and acceptance of similaritiesinstead of differences (Zhu, 2020, p. 1651-1655). Trust is a part of many factors. Reciprocity and the exchange ofinformation by revealing the factors that led to mistrust in intercultural communication are key elements inmaintaining relationships.Trust is necessary because no one is independent of others, no one is self-sufficient, we are all interdependent interms of meeting basic needs. The overall characterization of trust as a complex, multifaceted phenomenon can beclassified according to different distinguishing criteria, primarily between interpersonal and institutional, verticaland horizontal trust. Interpersonal trust refers to the belief that most people can be trusted, while institutional trustincludes trust in various institutions, such as the government, judiciary, health system, education system, media, etc.Vertical means trust in public organizations (government, church, trade unions, etc.), and horizontally - trustbetween people, independent of their various forms of social consciousness (custom, morality, religion), belongingto macrosocial groups (nation, race, class) and of different social status (gender, age, education). The importance ofreputation is reflected in the fact that it is in a sense an investment, i.e. a resource that allows us to obtain otherimportant resources, among which is the trust of others and all the benefits that trust brings (Eisenegger, 2009, p. 11-23).

Egemenlik öncesi İslami Meşrutiyetçilik: 1861 Tunus Anayasası’nın İki Müdafaası
Authors: March Andrew
Published: April 2024

Bu makale Tunus’un 1857-1861 yılları arasında anayasa yapım sürecinitetikleyen siyasi ve toplumsal olayları ele almaktadır. Amaç,yirminci yüzyılda halifelik sonrası İslamcı düşünceyle bir karşıtlıkoluşturan İslami modernite için önemli bir dönemi keşfetmektir. Ondokuzuncu yüzyıl İslami anayasal düşüncede görünen başat temalarhem bağlayıcı hem de yol gösterici olan, ancak zorunlu olarak kanunkoymanın münhasır kaynağı olmayan ilahi bir kanunun politiköncesi varlığına güçlü bir vurgu yapan egemen kurucu iktidarın “zayıflaması”anlayışıdır. 1860’lardaki tartışmalar ve daha genel olarakOsmanlı anayasacılığı[2], doğrudan egemenlikçi olmayan bir siyasivizyona yol açmaz. Ancak bunlar kamu yararını, siyasi yargı türlerinive farklı türdeki uzmanlıkların kutsal olmayan bir otorite ile uyumluluğunumerkeze alan sömürge öncesi (ve dolayısıyla bir dereceyekadar savunmacı tavır öncesi) İslami düşüncenin temsilcileridir. Budönem [deki yaklaşım], yirminci yüzyılın hem ilahi hem de popüleregemenlik ideallerinin siyasi hayata dair İslami (ve İslamcı) yaklaşımlarahâkim olmadığı günümüz içinde anlamlı olabilir.
Düşüncenin Sınır Taşları Ötesinde TANRI
Authors: Ahsan Abbas

Bu yazıda epistemik görecelik için bir durumu ortaya koymaktayım:tüm insan bilgisinin/gerçeğinin göreceli olduğu şeklindeki radikalgörüş. Epistemik göreceliğin uygulama alanını mantık yasaları gibigerekli yasaları kapsayacak şekilde genişletiyorum. Bu tür yasalarındoğruluğunun, nihayetinde deneyimlerimizden türetilen örneklerolan insan düşüncesine bağlı olduğunu ileri sürüyorum. Bu deneyimler,kavramsal olarak bağlı olduğumuz sınırlamalar olarak hareketeder. Bu yüzden, Tanrı’nın her şeye kadir olduğunu kavrayamayız.Buna Tanrı’nın mantıksal olarak imkânsız eylemleri gerçekleştirmekonusundaki azami gücü de dahildir. Bu sebepten mantıksal olarakimkânsız eylemleri kavramadaki epistemik yetersizliğimiz, Tanrı’nınmantık yasalarını aştığının kanıtıdır.

Published: April 2024

Aim – to study the features of local production of IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 in middle age and old age persons with chronic rhinosinusitis.
Material and methods. The study included patients aged 45 to 90 years with a confirmed diagnosis of "chronic rhinosinusitis" in the acute stage, who gave written informed consent to the study. The scope of the laboratory examination included determination of the cytokines IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 concentration in nasal secretions by enzyme immunoassay.
Results. The maximum level of IL-4 was registered in younger persons with chronic rhinosinusitis (45–59 years old) compared with older persons. In our study, the maximum content of IL-6 occurred in a group of patients aged 75–90 years, while the cytokine level significantly exceeded IL-6 in a group of healthy age-related patients, which indicates a more pronounced inflammatory reaction in patients of the oldest group with chronic rhinosinusitis. Cytokine levels above 600 pg/ml were found mainly in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Patients of group 4 had high IL-10 values going beyond the range of the comparison groups.
Conclusion. The maximum level of macrophage-monocytic cytokines (IL-6 and IL-8) and anti-inflammatory IL-10 was determined in nasal lavage fluid in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis aged 75–90 years, the highest detectable values of IL-4 were characteristic of patients aged 45–59 years.
Mathematical modeling of the chronic kidney disease progression rate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Pervyshin Nikolai A.
Published: April 2024

Aim – to develop and provide clinical substantiation of experimental mathematical models for the chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression rate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using the glomerular filtration rate reduction index (RI_GFR) as original diagnostic parameter.
Material and methods. A cross-sectional observational study of clinical status indices was performed in a sample of patients with type 2 diabetes. The significant predictors of a high rate of CKD progression were identified by regression analysis, three variants of experimental mathematical models were developed with different combinations of arguments with an emphasis on modifiable factors.
Results. The method of one-dimensional logistic regression analysis revealed the indices of clinical status having a significant impact on the rate of CKD progression on the scale of changes in RI_GFR by 1 ml/min/1.73 m2 and on the binary classification of outcomes in the groups of "slow" and "fast" decrease in kidneys filtration function with a threshold value of RI_GFR of 4.21 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year. These indices were age, body mass index (BMI), glycemia and duration of diabetes at the time of visit, history of insulin therapy, acute myocardial infarction in the anamnesis, pulse on the popliteal artery, concomitant retinopathy, hypertension risk group, treatment with sulfonylureas and calcium antagonists. Using multidimensional logistic regression, three types of experimental mathematical models were developed, including various combinations of predictors that demonstrated high values of diagnostic significance.
Conclusion. The mathematical modeling of CKD progression in patients with T2DM with the RI_GFR diagnostic index allows for better understanding of the pathology's development patterns. An experimental mathematical model using modifiable drug factors that a doctor can manage during the treatment (administration of sulfonylureas and calcium channel blockers) demonstrated 55.6% sensitivity, 85.3% specificity, AUC 0.76 (0.65; 0.86), which ensured high quality prediction with an accuracy of 77.5%.
Poems with a Historical Time Component in Russian Magazine Poetry (on the Example of the Poetry Prize)
Authors: Fedoskin Andrey
Published: April 2024

This article examines the historical time in the poems that were nominated

for the Poetry Prize in 2019–2021. The most popular epochs among authors are

highlighted and the analysis of the most characteristic examples is given. «Historical» poems occupy a small share (14%) among others. The most favorite themes of

the authors of the Poetry Prize in poems with a historical component are the XX

century. The greatest interest in its framework is caused by the epochs of the Second

World War and the first years of Soviet power. All the texts of the collection are united by an accentuated political focus. Often there is a state in the poems, it comes into conflict with a person. Such a point of view on history reflects to a greater extent the biased view of the founders and members of the jury of the prize, rather than an objective cross-section of modern poetry, for which the prize was originally claimed.
Poetological Essay by Yuri Linnik «Somnambulistic»
about the Wreath of Sonnets by Maximilian Voloshin «Lunaria»
(an Attempt at an Adequate Interpretation)
Authors: Fedotov Oleg
Published: April 2024

Yuri Linnik's talent harmoniously combined a deep philosophical understanding of the universe with the virtuosity of its poetic embodiment in the most complex genre-strophic form of sonnet associations. He created a fantastic number of wreaths of sonnets impeccable in their ideological and artistic merits – 651. The poet

used to publish his works accompanied by original author's comments written in the stylistic manner of Socrates, Nietzsche and Viktor Shklovsky. A special group of his works are poetological essays, which also include conceptual reflections on two pioneer wreaths of Maximilian Voloshin's sonnets «Corona Astralis» and «Lunaria», consonant with their main pathos of a significant part of his own stephanism. One of them is presented in this publication with adequate comments. Another, dedicated to

«Corona Astralis», as we hope, will be published by our Kazakh colleagues.
