The article considers an example of ultrasonic cavitation created by a piezoelectric emitter. To identify the modes of ultrasonic cavitation treatment, the Qsonica sonicators Q-700 laboratory unit was used. The aim of the work is to determine the modes of ultrasonic treatment of motor fuel to create a cavitation region. Cavitation areas were determined by the area of destruction of aluminum foil samples, 0.008-0.009 mm thick. A sheet of aluminum foil was placed in the test medium parallel and perpendicular to the tip at different distances h, l. In order to identify the intensity of the resulting cavitation, cavitation noise was isolated from the signal of a hydrophone immersed in motor fuel at different distances from the radiator and connected to a multimeter model UT61E. The intensity of cavitation was estimated by the change in the resistance of the medium, R. The following types of motor fuel were used for processing: commercial diesel fuel, biodiesel based on ginger oil, mixed diesel fuel (containing 20% biodiesel). After the study, the foil was dried and the area of destruction was determined. It has been established that the following parameters influence the creation of cavitation – the distance from the radiating surface, intensity, amplitude and time of ultrasonic treatment of the sample.f= f (l, h, I, A, t). Four cavitation areas are defined: the area of active or optimal cavitation, the area of the beginning of cavitation, the area of incipient cavitation, the area of absence of cavitation. Depending on the amplitude and intensity, 6 operating modes are highlighted. It is established that the processing of the used motor fuel should be carried out on the 3 cavitation mode of operation (A =21-40%, I= 12.5-24.8 W / cm2) of the laboratory installation in the used technological volume or in larger volumes with reflective surfaces. It has been found that the cavitation noise in biodiesel is lower than in diesel fuel, since it is more viscous. In viscous liquids, cavitation is less developed and, consequently, the ultrasound absorption coefficient is lower for them. In this regard, it is necessary to design devices for media with a higher viscosity based on the optimal distance from the radiator to the bottom.

The areas of application of synthetic oil fractions and fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were determined. Conducted: Research on two types of alternative fuels has been carried out: 1 – various fractions of synthetic oil obtained using the Fischer-Tropsch method; 2 – mixed fuels (B7) based on hydrotreated petroleum diesel fraction with the addition of 7% FAME of rapeseed oil. The prospects for their use as an additive to petroleum fuels are shown based on the results of tests of various fractions of synthetic oil. Since the main disadvantages of biodiesel and mixed fuels are poor oxidative stability and a tendency to form deposits, studies of the effectiveness of the antioxidant additive Agidol-1 in mixed fuel with the addition of 7% rapeseed oil FAME under test conditions on an OSV-M non-engine unit were carried out. The positive effect of the antioxidant additive Agidol-1 on the reduction of high-temperature deposits on the bottoms of injectors when operating on mixed fuels containing up to 7% FAMEs has been established. Quantitative assessment of deposits on the bottom of the spray nozzle was carried out using an FT-801 IR-Fourier spectrometer with a wide-range infrared microscope. Based on the results obtained at OSV-M using IR-Fourier spectrometry, the promise of using the antioxidant additive Agidol-1 to reduce deposits on the injectors of engines operating on mixed fuels was shown.

The use of anti-corrosion protection is necessary to extend the service life of agricultural equipment; bitumen compounds can traditionally be used for this purpose. The effectiveness of compositions based on a bitumen primer, into which white spirit solvent and a corrosion inhibitor were additionally introduced in an amount of 5 wt. %: CO-FFA, paraffin, Emulgin, has been studied. Studies have shown that the bitumen primer is frost-resistant, and the thickness of its coatings increases as expected when several layers are applied. Corrosion tests were carried out in a thermal and moisture chamber G-4, in a solution of 0.5 M NaCl and in a natural atmosphere (full-scale bench studies). According to the results of tests in the G-4 thermal and moisture chamber, all compositions, both in the presence of an inhibitor and without it, almost completely protect the steel surface. Corrosion test data in 0.5 M NaCl showed that the effectiveness of the bitumen primer is 75%, and the addition of paraffin, Emulgin or KO-SZhK to the additive increases the protective effect to 98, 94, 87%, respectively. The composition with the addition of paraffin turned out to be the most effective according to the results of full-scale bench tests (Z = 93%), as evidenced by the appearance of the plates after the experiment. It is recommended that production tests be carried out using the latest formulation.

The work of enterprises in the agro-industrial complex is closely connected with the use of petroleum products, the use of which is ensured through oil pumping stations. The assessment of the probability of emergency situations at such enterprises was carried out using the example of the main oil pumping station GNPS-1 “Taishet” of TransnefteVostok LLC. It is shown that the enterprise belongs to objects of increased fire danger, the most dangerous technological areas of which are the tank farm, the main oil pumping station and the booster pumping station. A fire and explosive substance - oil is circulated in a technological scheme. Possible ways of developing emergency situations associated with the failure of equipment in individual technological sections of an oil pumping station were investigated in the work. The most dangerous accidents occur in three areas: in the tank farm, at the main and booster pumping stations. The probabilities for the development of emergency situations have been determined. It was revealed that the most dangerous scenarios are possible at any of the reservoirs of the tank farm and at the main oil pumping and booster pumping station. In both scenarios, an instant spill fire, a spill fire with delayed ignition, and an explosion of a vapor-air cloud are possible. The cause may be a failure of emergency ventilation and a vapor-air cloud gas analyzer. The studied options for the development of an accident on technological equipment will make it possible to establish the scale of the consequences of the spread of dangerous factors of fire and explosion, as well as to determine a set of measures to prevent emergency situations, timely response and minimize their consequences.

Authors:   ALL-Russian research Institute for the use of machinery and petroleum products in agriculture, Tishaninov Konstantin
Published: December 2023

One of the main methods of separating a grain heap is pneumatic separation based on the difference in the aerodynamic resistance of the components of the grain mixture to the air flow. A classification of pneumatic separating devices is given according to the following parameters: method of air flow circulation, number of separating channels, method of using systems, direction of air flow in separating channels and chambers, method of supplying air to the pneumatic separation zone, frequency of processing, shape of pneumatic separating channels, method of feeding grain mixture into the channel , type of devices for separating light impurities, method of regulating air flow in the channel. The formulas developed by different authors for the coefficient of particle resistance to air flow are generalized. The optimal dimensions of the pneumatic channel have been established: the depth of the channel should not exceed 200 mm, and the width should not exceed 1500 mm. It has been established that the most commonly used shape of the pneumatic channel is rectangular. It is shown that various devices are used to introduce grain material into the pneumatic channel: pitched boards, support nets, corrugated rollers, spreading discs, vibration, belt, pneumatic, and combined devices. According to the direction of the air flow, separators are distinguished: vertical, inclined, horizontal. It has been established that louvered inertial dust collectors are usually used to clean the air from dust. The most modern designs of cross-flow fans are considered. Based on the analysis performed, recommendations were given to developers of aspiration systems: to ensure a margin of pneumatic channel width so that with an increase in the supply of grain material, the efficiency of air cleaning does not decrease, but at the same time the uniformity of the air flow in the pneumatic channel does not decrease.

Authors:   M.P. Shulgin State Road Research Institute State Enterprise - DerzhdorNDI SE, Kyiv, Ukraine, Sokolov Оleksii
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The composition of the grading of the mineral part of the asphalt mixture significantly affects the properties of road asphalt, namely its strength, roughness, durability, stability, reliability, quality, etc., especially when using secondary industrial waste. The designing of asphalt mixture grading (hereinafter referred to as AM) involves the calculation of its parameters that, among other things, meet the requirements of Tables 6 and 7 of DSTU B V.2.7-119:2011 [1]. Designing the aggregate composition and binder content of an AM that meets the specification requirements is a lengthy trial-and-error procedure, and success in designing an AM largely depends on the designer’s experience. This difficulty can be overcome by the development and implementation of computer software for designing the optimal AM parameters to obtain the desired properties and control them. In general, three main approaches have been proposed to computerize the computations for processing laboratory test results and optimizing the parameters of the AM: 1) Excel spreadsheets for performing a volumetric analysis of AM (Asphalt Mix Design Tools), for example, according to the methodology of Part 5 of the manual [3]; 2) optimization of the process of designing the optimal AM using artificial neural networks (hereinafter referred to as ANN) and genetic algorithm (hereinafter referred to as GA), for example, [4];

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction

Celiac Disease (CD) affects the small intestine and it’s characterized by a high sensitivity to gluten. Among the main signs and symptoms, there are typical or intestinal ones such as abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, diarrhea, weight loss, atrophy of the intestinal villi. At the moment, the only effective therapy is to follow a gluten-free diet during a long-life. The aim of the study is to investigate the difficulties of adherence to GFD in young people with CD.

Materials and methods

A questionnaire was administered to the population under study (15-30 years), between 9 July 2022 and 29 August 2022. The interviewees answered 28 questions: 5 concerning the socio-demographic variable, 23 concerning the difficulties of adherence to the GFD.

Results

227 people answered the questionnaire. Among them, a low percentage was sent to the attention of a dietician or psychologist. 78.8% prepare their own meal independently. 78.4% believe they know very well the foods they can eat and 93% say they follow the diet stringently.

Discussion

Following the GF diet is a challenge for most young people with CD. Restaurants offering GF meals are limited and this could be a reason for giving up leisure and socializing, or in the worst-case scenario, the person with CD is forced not to join the GFD. The risk of contamination that can involve fear, isolation, embarrassment in asking questions, is another factor to always keep in mind.

Conclusion

Adherence difficulties begins with the CD diagnosis and the taking charge. The main problem in related to the social setting of young people, who wants to live without complications due to crance of places with GF food. Literature should investigate about adherence difficulties, instead of quality of life and behaviour CD related. It’s necessary to improve the attention on GF world to decrease discomfort about medical conditions.

Keywords

FD, celiac disease, gluten-free foods, therapy, adherence difficulties.

Authors: Hasrah Mohd Tarmizi
Published: December 2023

Makalah ini bertujuan meneliti dialek Melayu yang dituturkan di kawasan hulu dan hilir di tiga lembangan sungai utama di timur Semenanjung Malaysia, iaitu lembangan Sungai Pahang, lembangan Sungai Kelantan dan lembangan Sungai Terengganu. Berdasarkan analisis perbandingan (sinkronik dan diakronik) terhadap ciri fonetik dan fonologi, makalah ini cuba menelusuri persamaan dan perbezaan dialek yang dituturkan di tiga lembangan sungai tersebut bagi menentukan ciri linguistiknya. Yang menariknya, hasil analisis mendapati dialek yang dituturkan di kawasan hulu memperlihatkan ciri yang berbeza daripada dialek di kawasan hilir. Perbezaan tersebut membolehkan dibuat suatu sempadan (isoglos) yang tegas bagi memisahkan dialek di kedua-dua kawasan. Sekurang-kurangnya terdapat dua implikasi yang terhasil daripada penelitian ini. Pertama, sistem topografi masih sah untuk dijadikan landasan penelitian dialek Melayu. Maka, hal ini membawa kepada implikasi kedua, iaitu pengelompokan dialek Melayu pun seharusnya sensitif dengan penyebaran dialek berdasarkan sistem topografi.

Kata dasar bahasa Melayu standard mempunyai satu grafem h yang sama tetapi membawa nilai bunyi yang berbeza menurut lingkungan fonetik, seperti konsonan aspirasi/ h /: [ h ] pada akhir suku kata fonologi dalam kata ubah /ubah/: [ubahh] dan konsonan geseran /h/: [h] ~ [] pada awal suku kata fonologi dalam usaha /usaha/: [usaha] ~ [usaa]. Namun, kedua-dua golongan bunyi ini tidak dibezakan oleh sesetengah pengkaji fonetik bahasa Melayu. Di samping itu, terdapat ejaan gandaan *hh dalam kata terbitan yang berakhiran –an {-an} atau –i {-i}, seperti *pilihhan dan *dikasihhi. Berdasarkan data bertulis yang diperoleh, kata terbitan yang demikian terbentuk daripada kata dasar yang berakhir dengan bunyi aspirasi h [ h ] bersama-sama akhiran yang berkenaan. Walaupun ejaan gandaan *hh ini salah dari segi aturan ejaan rasmi bahasa Melayu, tetapi ejaan yang salah ini mencerminkan satu fakta sebutan bahasa Melayu secara teliti. Penulis menganalisis nilai bunyi grafem h yang hadir di sempadan antara kata dasar dengan akhiran –an {-an} atau –i {-i} dalam kata terbitan, dengan menggunakan kaedah fonetik akustik berkomputer. Hasil daripada analisis ini didapati bahawa nilai bunyi grafem h dalam sesetengah data rakaman memperlihatkan geminasi konsonan aspirasi yang diikuti oleh konsonan geseran dalam bentuk [hh] ~ [h] dalam lingkungan fonetik yang berkenaan. Fenomena geminasi konsonan ini melahirkan ejaan gandaan (yang salah) *hh [hh] ~ [h] dalam kalangan sesetengah penutur bahasa Melayu. Berdasarkan penemuan ini, dikemukakan satu hipotesis tentang proses geminasi konsonan h[hh] ~ [h]dalam kata terbitan yang berkenaan, iaitu pergerakan pita suara yang menyebabkan buka-tutup glotis dalam proses artikulasi bunyi aspirasi yang diikuti oleh bunyi geseran

Postcolonialisms
Authors: Lalla Barbara
Published: December 2023

Postcolonialisms interrogates the place of early English verse in relation to the British canon, proposing that the first postcolonial literature in English was English itself. The enquiry integrates a range of approaches to textual study, drawing together, on the one hand, postcolonial and Caribbean criticism and, on the other, methods of historical and contact linguistics, and applying these within a framework of thought consistent with New Medievalism.
Public Health in Jamaica, 1850-1940
Authors: Jones Margaret
Published: December 2023

Using a range of primary sources from imperial, colonial and local government records, Rockefeller Foundation Archives, memoirs and reports, this study provides the most comprehensive account to date of public health in Jamaica in the post-emancipation colonial period to the onset of the Second World War. The account is framed by two pivotal Jamaican experiences that were vital in precipitating significant policy changes at the imperial centre. An examination of the development of the part-time colonial medical service reveals it to be underresourced and inadequate. Most Jamaicans accessed Western medical aid through the Poor Law, a distinguishing feature of the British West Indian colonies, and the issues around the intermeshing of medical and Poor Law aid is a vital contextual question. Chapters on the epidemic and endemic diseases of smallpox and malaria expose the attitudes and the nature of the responses of government, elites and the medical services to such threats. The International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation was active in Jamaica from 1919 until 1950. A detailed analysis of their hookworm campaign, public health education programme and tuberculosis work contributes to a critical understanding of this philanthropic endeavour. The contribution of Jamaica to a new imperial development policy, as exemplified in the 1940 Colonial Development and Welfare Act, is also assessed. A story of government and elite reluctance to finance public health services emerges in which Jamaicans were frequently blamed for their own ill health. Socio-economic causation was sidestepped as class and race perceptions, underpinned by the legacy of slavery, held sway.
Port of Spain
Authors: Stuempfle Stephen
Published: December 2023

In this wide-ranging study, Stephen Stuempfle explores the transformation of the landscape (material environment) of Port of Spain from the cocoa boom era at the turn of the twentieth century through Trinidad and Tobago’s independence from Britain in 1962. In addition to outlining the creative work of planners, architects, engineers and builders, he examines depictions of the city in journalism, travel literature, fiction, photographs and maps, and elucidates how diverse social groups employed urban spaces both in their day-to-day lives and for public celebrations and protests. Over the course of the seven decades considered, Port of Spain was a dynamic centre for interactions among British officials; American entrepreneurs, military personnel and tourists; and a rapidly growing local population that both perpetuated and challenged the colonial regime. Many people perceived the city as a vanguard space – a locale for pursuing new opportunities and experiences. By drawing on a rich array of written and visual sources, Stuempfle immerses the reader in the sights and sounds of the city’s streets, parks, yards and various buildings to reveal how this complex environment evolved as a realm of collective endeavour and imagination. He argues that the urban landscape served as a key site for the display and negotiation of Trinidad’s social order during its gradual transition from colonial rule to self-government. For Port of Spain’s inhabitants, the construction of a modern capital city was interrelated, both practically and symbolically, with the building of a society and a new nation-state.

Golden age merupakan masa emas bagi anak usia 0 sampai 5 tahun. Masa ini adalah waktu yang tepat untuk mencari, belajar, dan memperoleh pendidikan untuk masa depan anak. Namun, gangguan pendengaran memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap pembentukan interaksi sosial anak, selain itu juga menghambat aspek mental dan ekspresif. Hal ini dikarenakan penyandang tuna rungu menerima informasi dalam bahasa nonverbal kinesik/ bahasa visual sehingga informasi yang didapat akan berbeda dengan anak yang tidak mengalami gangguan pendengaran. Permasalahan yang sering terjadi adalah sulitnya berinteraksi dengan guru sekolah reguler karena pengetahuan tentang bahasa tubuh masih belum banyak dipahami oleh para guru. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif yaitu secara langsung mengobservasi kondisi interkasi anak-anak dan wawancara guru. Penelitian dilakukan di Sekolah intervensi anak berkebutuhan khusus tuna rungu yaitu Sekolah Smart Aurica School di Sukajadi, Batam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengalisis kualitas sekolah tuna rungu di Batam sesuai dengan standar sarana dan pra sarana Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan No. 33 Tahun 2008. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah sekolah Smart Aurica School yang tidak sesuai standar sarana dan pra sarana SLB dan merekomendasikan konsep desain yang menekankan kemampuan sosial penyandang tuna rungu untuk berinteraksi dengan masyarakat serta membentuk karakter yang baik guna memudahkan penyandang tunarungu dalam menempuh pendidikan dasar dengan nyaman, aman, dan mandiri.
