Modelling of insulating potential in ultra-thin (42 å) silicon oxide film
Authors: Goldman E. I. , Chucheva G. V. , Shusharin I. A.
Published: October 2024

Based on previously conducted measurements of the tunneling current-voltage characteristics of metal-SiO2-Si (MOS) structures, modeling of the insulating potential in an ultra-thin (4.2 nm) silicon oxide film was performed. The potential in the dielectric was defined in the shape of a trapezoid, with the lateral slopes simulating transition layers and the top base representing the bulk of SiO2. The model parameters – the barrier height and the coordinates of the trapezoid's corner points – were calculated to achieve the maximum match between the experimental and theoretical voltage derivatives of the current logarithm. Common features of the insulating potential, similar to those in thinner silicon oxide films (3.7 nm), were identified: the barrier occupies up to half of the nominal volume of the dielectric gap and is shifted towards the gate electrode, with its slope towards the semiconductor substrate being much more gradual compared to the slope adjacent to the gate.

Published: October 2024

The efficiency of sub-THz to DC energy conversion of a silicon-based plasmonic detector was studied. The dependence of the signal at the detector output on the incident radiation power was measured. In the power linear region, the coefficient η was shown to grow with increasing power and to saturate in the sub-linear regime. The maximum achieved values of η were 0.4% for the radiation frequency of 97 GHz. The measurements were carried out both at room temperature and when the detector was cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature.
Electron spin resonance impact on the longitudinal resistance in the quantum Hall regime
Authors: Bisti V. E.
Published: October 2024

The electron spin resonance impact on the longitudinal resistance in the quantum Hall regime near the integer filling factors is considered. For the odd filling factors extra spin excitons are created in the process of the microwave absorption, and the resistance increase due to the effective temperature rise. For the even filling factors in the absorption process depending on the temperature inspired spin polarization leads to transition of the spin-flip excitations to the higher energy short-lived excitations, and as a result the resistance is decreased due to effective temperature decrease.

For this, new mathematical methods for regression of experimental data measured with significant errors were developed. This paper presents the current state of work in this area.
Topological laws of the Rayleigh wave scattering on a statistical inhomogeneity of isotropic solid in the Rayleigh limit
Authors: Chukov V. N.
Published: October 2024

Topological laws of the Rayleigh wave scattering on a statistical inhomogeneity of isotropic solid are obtained theoretically in the Rayleigh limit. They are completely defined by the inhomogeneity structure and include the Rayleigh law of scattering as a particular case. They violate the Rayleigh law in the case of a more general inhomogeneity topology, then the Rayleigh one. It enables first to construct theoretically arbitrary spectrum of scattering up to its oscillations and a strong angular anisotropy.
Bragg resonances in the yttrium iron garnet – platinum – yttrium iron garnet layered structure
Authors: Lobanov N. D. , Matveev O. V. , Morozova M. A.
Published: October 2024

We studied theoretically the interaction between the spin current in a conductor with a strong spin-orbit coupling (platinum, Pt) and the spin wave in yttrium iron garnet ferromagnetic layers (YIG) with periodic thickness modulation under conditions of Bragg resonances and interlayer coupling. It is shown that in the YIG/Pt/YIG sandwich structure the conditions for two Bragg resonances in the first Brillouin area in the spin wave spectrum are fulfilled. The spin current in Pt allows frequency tuning of the resonances and control the depth of the spin wave band gap corresponding to the resonance conditions.
Determination of the rigidity of the geomagnetic cutoff and simulation of the motion of particles in the Earth’s magnetosphere
Authors: Kruchinin P. A. , Malakhov V. V. , Golubkov V. S. , Mayorov A. G.
Published: October 2024

A method for determination of the geomagnetic cutoff rigidity is presented. The method is based on the tracing of charged particles in the Earth’s magnetic field using Buneman-Boris’ particle-in-cell method. The results of the verification of the method are presented: in particular, a comparison with theoretical calculations in an ideal dipolar field and with previous calculations made under the real field condition. The developed method has shown a high reliability proven by the replication of the known effects. In the dipolar approximation, it has shown high accuracy in comparison with the theoretical calculations. Typical pattern of geomagnetic cutoff penumbra is also reproduced.
ANALYSIS OF APPROACHES TO DESIGN ONTOLOGICAL MODELS OF AN ADAPTIVE SOFTWARE SYSTEM
Authors: LUTSYK Illia , FEDASYUK Dmytro
Published: October 2024

The paper analyzes approaches to the design of ontological models of adaptive software systems. To evaluate the quality of the projected ontologies, specialized groups of metrics are used, which allow us to determine the shortcomings in the structure and functioning of the model. An analysis of the use of ontological models in the process of designing and developing adaptive software systems has been carried out. It was established that the ontological approach allows for a more effective presentation of the subject area, which improves the software configuration process. The use of ontological models allows flexible responses to changes in user requirements without the need to directly update the source code of the software.
The process of designing ontologies based on classical and abstract approaches is presented. It was determined that the use of a classical approach to the design of ontological models could complicate the adaptation process due to the need to change the structure and reconfiguration of the system. To solve this problem, an abstract approach is proposed that ensures the dynamism of the adaptation process, without the need for a complete reconfiguration of the system.
A set of specialized metrics is defined that allows for the analysis of the ontological model of the software system, the evaluation of its syntactic and semantic quality, compliance with rules and interoperability, and the possibility of expansion. A comparative analysis of abstract and classical approaches to the design of ontological models was carried out based on defined structural metrics, as well as metrics of the scheme and filling of the knowledge base. The obtained values of structural and hierarchical metrics confirm the quality and effectiveness of the proposed approaches. According to the defined metrics, the absence of cycles and entanglement in the ontological model indicates the correctness of the construction of the structure from the point of view of ergonomics and the possibility of further changing the structure and filling of the ontological model. The analyzed values of the schema metrics and the filling of the knowledge base demonstrate the better effectiveness of the abstract approach in the process of determining the software configuration, which provides faster and more correct processing of ontological SWRL rules during adaptation.

Published: October 2024

It is known that surgical procedures can change the vascularization of the face, and these changes can be related in the course and depth of vessels, increasing the risk for complications with injectable products. The goal of this work is to objectively demonstrate the course and variation of these vascular structures through Doppler ultra-sonographic monitoring. In this research 9 patients were studied, of which 7 completed the study. The presurgical ultrasound study detected anatomical variations like agenesy of the angular artery and dorsal nasal artery in 11.12% of tha patients. The post surgical evaluation detected 85.71% of vascular changes mainly in the nasal arteries. This findings confirm the importance of practicing ultrasonographis evaluation in patients with rhinoplasty, previous to practicing new filler injections in the face.
A descriptive overview of English-language publications in the field of Astronomy Education Research, 1898 to 2022
Authors: Salimpour Saeed , Fitzgerald Michael , Eriksson Urban
Published: October 2024

Discipline-based education research (DBER) takes the theories and methodologies of education research and applies them in the context of a specific discipline, in this example, astronomy. Research in the teaching and learning of astronomy has an extensive history; astronomy education research (AER), as its own separately defined field, is relatively new, stemming from the early to mid-1990s, as a separate track from physics education research (PER). By using a mixed-methods approach to textual analysis considering 2085 English language publications in the field, an order of magnitude larger than the previous largest overviews of the field, this study paints a rich picture of the landscape of AER over the timespan of a century from 1898 to 2022.
This paper finds that AER authors started regularly publishing around 1970 and took off significantly in the 1990s with journal articles (~50%) and conference proceedings (~30%) being the most common method of publication. AER, in its early era, was largely a USA endeavour dominated by ASTRO101. This has changed over time and in recent years, the USA has dropped below 50\% of the worldwide AER publication production. “Celestial Motion”, “Instrumentation/Techniques”, and “Planetary Sciences (not Exoplanets)” are the most common content foci while a significant lack of local galactic and extragalactic education research is identified. AER has been heavily focussed on “Content Knowledge”, “Affective”, and “Engagement”. It is found that most articles tend to be general reporting of approaches or results (~43%) rather than full empirical research (~36%) while there is very little theoretical or historical research in AER yet.
This overview, based on results input to an online database (istardb.org), provides a resource to researchers, educators, and other interested stakeholders allowing efficient ascertainment of previous research. This supports both researchers, allowing them to develop research questions at the cutting edge of the field, as well as practitioners, to inform their pragmatic approach based on latest research findings. We also present a set of recommendations and future outlook of the field of Astronomy Education Research.

Published: October 2024

The Gravitymancer processing tool within Skynet’s Astromancer suite opens a unique window for students of introductory astronomy courses to explore the most powerful events observed in our Universe – the merger of binary neutron-star systems and black-hole systems.  These merger events produce short-lived bursts of gravitational radiation, as observed by one or more of the following gravitational-wave observatories:  LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA.  Students can use Gravitymancer to load and interpret the archival event data, finding useful properties like the total mass and mass ratio of the binary system, distance, and inclination angle. While on the surface, students can interpret gravitational-wave events with an easy-to-use GUI, we present here the complex processing utilized to make this tool work.

A Meta-Analysis of Medication-Assisted Treatment Initiated in Carceral Settings: Six Months Post-Release
Authors: Hart Foxx , Tackett Maria , Purohit Sanskriti , Schramm-Sapyta Nicole
Published: October 2024

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is considered the gold standard treatment for opioid use disorder[1]. However, implementation in carceral settings remains limited[2]. A meta-analysis of three randomized-controlled trials (n= 324) finds that medication-assisted treatment initiated in carceral settings is an effective intervention for opioid use disorders. The authors conducted a systematic review of the database in late 2023/early 2024 and evaluated 130 articles for potential inclusion in the meta-analysis. Of these, three were selected that had the desired outcome measure of opioid relapse at six months as observed via urinalysis. The authors constructed a logistic regression model for the odds of relapsing with any treatment, and then specifically with methadone, as compared to controls. The odds of not relapsing, relative to controls, were 2.67 (95% CI = [1.677,4.332]) with any treatment and 4.13 (95% CI = [2.129,8.374]) for methadone, respectively. The authors conclude that while current literature shows MAT, specifically methadone, is an effective treatment for OUD when initiated in carceral settings, more RCTs in carceral settings are needed, especially RCTs with follow ups >1 month from release.

Authors: Alekseevets A. D. , Zavodchikova N. I.
Published: October 2024

The section "Programming" at the advanced level of studying the informatics course in high school includes consideration of issues related to the design of the user interface. If the study of the basics of programming is carried out using the Python language, it is reasonable to develop window applications using this language. Recently, the PyQt library has become increasingly popular, which makes it relevant to create methodological materials to familiarize schoolchildren with the capabilities of this library.

It is advisable to carry out training in accordance with the reverse engineering technology, which consists in the fact that students do not write program code from scratch, but explore the finished product. At the first stage, you can organize the activities of schoolchildren by completing tasks to study the finished program; at the next step, offer to analyze the appearance of the finished application, highlight its elements and select tools for their creation; finally, provide additional tasks that involve independent study by students of the class features not considered earlier.

The article offers reference material for familiarizing schoolchildren with the main capabilities of the library, tasks for lab sessions and home assignment.
МІСЦЕ НОРМ АДМІНІСТРАТИВНОГО ПРАВА В СИСТЕМІ ПРАВОВИХ ЗАСАД ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ОБЛАСНИМИ ВІЙСЬКОВИМИ АДМІНІСТРАЦІЯМИ УКРАЇНИ РЕЖИМУ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ
Authors: ЮР’ЄВ В.В.
Published: October 2024

В статті, спираючись на аналіз норма чинного законодавства, сформульовано авторський підхід щодо визначення поняття «адміністративно-правового регулювання забезпечення обласними військовими адміністраціями України правового режиму воєнного стану». Виділено систему нормативно-правових актів різної юридичної сили, норми яких спрямовані на регулювання суспільних відносин у досліджуваній сфері суспільного життя. Обґрунтовано, що в системі правових засад забезпечення обласними військовими адміністраціями України режиму воєнного стану ключове місце належить нормам адміністративної галузі права. Встановлено, що адміністративно-правове регулювання забезпечення обласними військовими адміністраціями України правового режиму воєнного стану – це оснований на нормах адміністративної галузі права регулюючий та упорядковуючий вплив на суспільно-правові відносини, що виникають у сфері діяльності досліджуваних суб’єктів з метою формування і підтримки ними належних правових та організаційних умов функціонування воєнного стану за рахунок використання імперативного методу, який в свою чергу передбачає обов’язковість дотримання юридичних приписів та допускає застосування примусових заходів до учасників таких відносин. Констатовано, що в системі правових засад забезпечення правового режиму воєнного стану обласними військовими адміністраціями ключове місце відводиться нормам адміністративної галузі права, адже саме за допомогою останніх: визначається адміністративно-правовий статус обласних військових державних адміністрацій, їх повноважень та владного інструментарію; забезпечується організація реалізації заходів забезпечення воєнного стану уповноваженими суб’єктами; регулюється взаємодія військових адміністрацій з іншими учасниками відносин, які виникає як результат введення режиму воєнного стану; окреслюються сфери і території відання військових адміністрацій тощо. Таким чином, нормами представлених правових засад встановлюються особливості діяльності зазначених суб’єктів в межах державно-владного механізму, їх правова роль серед органів державної влади, а також посадових осіб залучених до виконання завдань воєнного стану, а також порядок виконання ними адміністративних повноважень.

Published: October 2024

İyi oluş genellikle bireyin duygusal, sosyal ve psikolojik yönden sağlıklı bir şekilde işlev görmesi ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. İki farklı frekansın her bir kulağa farklı şekillerde sunulmasıyla oluşturulan bir işitsel fenomen olarak bilinen binaural beats (çift kulak vuruşlar) üzerine yapılan bazı çalışmalar ise belirli frekanslardaki seslerin beyin dalgalarını etkileyerek olumlu psikolojik etkilere yol açabileceğini öne sürmektedir. Binaural beats ses tonlarının etkileri, temel olarak işitsel kortekste nöronal aktivite üzerindeki etkileriyle ilişkilidir. Araştırmalar, binaural beats ses dalgalarının beyin dalgalarında belirgin değişikliklere neden olduğunu göstermektedir. Özellikle, alfa, beta, teta ve delta gibi beyin dalgalarının frekans ve genliğinde gözlemlenen değişiklikler, bu fenomenin zihinsel ve psikolojik süreçler üzerindeki etkilerini açıklamaya yönelik ipuçları sağlamaktadır. Binaural beats içeren müzik dinletilerinin stres ve anksiyetenin azaltılması, dikkat ve odaklanma yeteneğinin artırılması ve uyku kalitesinin iyileştirilmesi üzerinde olumlu etkilerinin olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bulgular, binaural beats'in bireylerin iyi oluş halleri ve yaşam kalitesi üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olabileceğini ileri sürmektedir. Ancak, bu potansiyelin tam olarak anlaşılması ve klinik uygulamalara dönüştürülmesi için daha fazla deneysel ve klinik araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır. Bu çalışma binaural beats içeren müzik dinletilerinin karmaşık etkilerini ve potansiyellerini, mevcut araştırma bulgularını derleyerek insanın iyi oluş haline etkilerini gözlemlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, bu alandaki bilgi ve anlayışın artırılması, binaural beats'in etkilerinin daha kesin bir şekilde değerlendirilmesine ve insan sağlığına yönelik potansiyel yararlarınının maksimize edilmesine yardımcı olacaktır.

In the conditions of Russia’s armed aggression, the loss of production capacity by many enterprises, the deterioration of logistics supplies and the instability of the national currency, all enterprises need active anti-crisis management, which must be carried out in accordance with the developed development strategy. In today’s conditions, most Ukrainian enterprises have problems in their activities due to the fact that their managers cannot adapt the approach to management and use appropriate methods to overcome crisis situations. This creates the need to implement new management strategies, in particular, anti-crisis management. It is important to note that a key role in anti-crisis management is played by a strategic approach that focuses on solving problems related to exiting the crisis. The search for ways out of the economic crisis is directly related to the elimination of the factors that cause it. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis of the external and internal environment, determine the factors affecting the enterprise, collect and systematize information on each of these factors, and, based on an objective assessment of the state of the enterprise, determine the causes of its crisis state. Therefore, during the development of a plan for exiting a crisis situation, great attention should be paid to the creation of an anti-crisis strategy and the definition of tactics for its implementation. Market conditions of functioning of economic systems form a new external business environment characterized by uncertainty and a high probability of crisis situations. Most crisis phenomena are observed at the micro level. The lack of an action plan and a corresponding strategy makes it difficult for enterprises to adapt to conditions of increased dynamism of the internal and external environment. At the same time, the objective presence of systemic, structural crises that affect individual enterprises, entire industries and sectors of the economy forces the development and application of special management approaches for timely crisis management. The article analyzes the directions of management to prevent crisis phenomena, the system of early warning of crises, appropriate management strategies in crisis conditions. Recommendations in this area are provided.

To the Root of the Problem: Preventing Excess Copper Waste and Remediation, by Targeted Treatment of Downy Mildew in Grape Crops (Second Report, 2021)
Authors: Sabatinos Sarah , Rappaport Daniel
Published: October 2024

Grapes are an important Canadian crop. Canadian winemaking industries rely on grape growers. However, grape crops are threatened by a mould that causes downy mildew. This disease spreads onto grape leaves and if left untreated can kill much of the plant. The grape fruit becomes covered in a dense carpet of mould tissue, and the crop is spoiled and lost. Not just a Canadian problem, downy mildew has become an agricultural concern for vineyards world-wide. Global warming is expected to make the incidence and impact of downy mildew worse. A good treatment is copper sulfate, which is sprayed onto grape plants early in the season to suppress downy mildew growth. However, copper is a toxic element that accumulates in the environment and may impact both the vineyard ecosystem and connected environments. CleanForm Science CA is a Canadian company that wants to reduce the impact of downy mildew, preventing loss of crops, and protecting economic investments. The Sabatinos lab at Ryerson University partners with CleanForm Science CA to develop a new testing kit for downy mildew that will help target new treatments.

Authors: Pranata Ogi Danika , Noperma Noperma
Published: October 2024

This quasi-experimental study investigates the impact of using free-body diagrams on the critical thinking skills of students studying rotational dynamics at MAN 1 Sungai Penuh. The study involved 140 eleventh-grade students, divided into an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 70 students. The experimental group received instruction using free-body diagrams, while the control group followed traditional teaching methods. Critical thinking skills were assessed using a test comprising five essay questions, each representing different aspects of critical thinking: likelihood and uncertainty analysis, problem solving and decision making, reasoning, hypothesis testing, and argument analysis. Descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests were employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in all aspects of critical thinking skills, with statistically significant differences and strong effect sizes. Specifically, the experimental group showed notable improvements in argument analysis, reasoning, and hypothesis testing. The findings suggest that the use of free-body diagrams significantly enhances students' critical thinking skills in the context of rotational dynamics. This study underscores the importance of incorporating visual learning aids in physics education to foster deeper understanding and improve analytical skills. The results have important implications for teaching practices, advocating for the integration of free-body diagrams to develop students' higher-order thinking skills effectively

Introduction Extirpative bladder surgery for bladder cancer requires urinary diversion which causes cosmetic and functional changes that affect a patient’s body image and quality of life. Current health-related quality of life (HRQOL) surveys validated for use in bladder cancer patients have no dedicated domain evaluating body image. We sought to validate the ten-item Body Image Scale (BIS) for use in bladder cancer patients. The BIS is scored on a 4-point Likert scale with a maximum score of 30. Higher scores represent increasing distress.
Methods With Institutional Review Board approval, native English or Spanish speaking patients who had undergone radical cystectomy and urinary diversion with either ileal conduit formation or orthotopic neobladder creation within the past 5 years for muscle-invasive bladder cancer were identified. The survey was conducted via telephone or e-mail. Surveys were scored and analyzed for reliability and validity.
Results 32 patients were identified (22 men, 10 women). 25 patients had ileal conduits and 7 had orthotopic neobladders. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient measuring internal consistency for the BIS instrument in this group was 0.926. All ten items met the response criteria (score of >0 by >30% respondents) in our study population. Though the ileal conduit group mean (17.4) and median (16) scores were lower than the neobladder (mean=19.1 and median=22), there was no statistically significant difference in BIS scores between the two cohorts (p=0.755).
Conclusions We present a validation study for use of BIS in bladder cancer patients to be utilized in future clinical trials or psycho-oncology research.
