Published: December 2022

In this paper, a new hybrid excitation drive motor (HEDM) was proposed to solve the problem of an uncontrollable magnetic field of a permanent magnet motor. The rotor part of the motor was composed of a combined magnetic pole permanent magnet rotor and a brushless electric claw rotor, in which the combined magnetic pole permanent magnet rotor has a parallel magnetic circuit structure. According to the characteristics of the parallel rotor structure, the equivalent magnetic circuit model was established, and the no-load leakage flux coefficient of the claw pole rotor was calculated. The Taguchi method was used for objective optimization of the permanent magnet rotor structure. The distortion rate of no-load back electromotive force (EMF) was taken as the first optimization goal; the cogging torque and the average torque were taken as the second optimization goal; and the torque fluctuation coefficient was a constraint condition. The optimal parameter matching under the mixed horizontal matrix was obtained. The parameters of the claw pole were optimized by using the method of uniform variables, and the dimension parameters of the motor were obtained. Finite element analysis and prototype tests were carried out for the optimized motor structure. The rationality and feasibility of the new HEDM as a vehicle motor were verified, which provided a possibility for the application of the new energy vehicle drive motor field.

Published: December 2022

Perinatal depression is the onset of depressive symptoms during pregnancy and up to one year after childbirth. Migrant women are at higher risk of experiencing perinatal depression due to numerous psychosocial stressors related to their experiences. This qualitative review aims to aggregate the experiences and barriers to care faced by immigrant and refugee women in Canada who have perinatal depression. Qualitative research can elucidate the barriers to treatment and culturally-impacted experiences of Canadian migrant women with perinatal depression. Following PRISMA and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines for conducting qualitative systematic reviews, 13 eligible studies representing 10 samples (N = 262 participants) were identified and included in this review. Participants included service providers, immigrant women, and refugee women. Three synthesized themes were identified by this review using the JBI meta-aggregative approach: (1) culture-related challenges; (2) migration-related challenges; and (3) service accessibility and quality. Within these themes were experiences of migrant women that encompass six categories: (1) conceptualization of perinatal depression; (2) childbirth-specific challenges; (3) migration-related challenges; (4) social isolation; (5) accessibility of services; and (6) quality of care. The role of family, cultural differences, financial challenges, and the effects of these on service accessibility are impactful in the experiences of migrant women. A greater understanding of the role of both culture and migration in the delivery of care, especially regarding service provider attitudes in more representative samples, is recommended.

Published: December 2022

The research is aimed at determining the problem of happiness in social and psychological connection with the phenomenon of loneliness as significant social and psychological factors of the formation and development of modern personality and society. A special understanding of the phenomenon of loneliness and the phenomenon of happiness in the behavioral norm and behavioral deviation is substantiated methodologically. The need for gender segregation in the definition of both loneliness and happiness is becoming especially relevant. Based on the data of the field study, the assessment of the socio-psychological perception of loneliness and happiness in gender distribution is formed. Based on the results of the survey and the initial analysis of the statistical data obtained, the paper provides a toolkit for calculating the happiness index, which can be relayed to similar subsamples and further refined taking into account their specifics. The results are based on the author's empirical all-Russian study (N=1,075) using the methods of econometric analysis of panel data. The research results are aimed at finding ways to reduce the risks of the formation of destructive socio-psychological constructs of self- and world perception through the prism of loneliness, and also contribute to the creation of recommendations for the development of stable traditional family constructs.

Authors: Thani Mohammed , Ismael Muneer
Published: December 2022

This numerical study aims to enhance the heat transfer efficiency by dissipating the heat Emitted from electronic processors. A jet impingement technique is utilized with porous layer covering a metal fin as a heat sink. Forced convection and normal convection (due to the buoyancy effect) are taken into consideration. The two equations model (Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium LTNE) employed to describe the energy equations of the two phases of the porous surface. Finite Element Method (FEM) used to discretize these equations to obtain the numerical solution. To make this study closest to the reality, constant heat flux boundary condition is applied underneath the metallic heat sink. The geometry comprises of three domains: Free flow channel, Porous layer and Metal fined heat sink. In order to simulate the heat transfer, isotherms; streamlines and Nusselt number have been considered. Investigation has been done by inspecting the effects of the pertinent non-dimensional parameters such as: Reynolds number (Re = 100-900), Darcy number (Da = 10-1-10-6), Richardson number (Ri = 0.1-100) and Porosity (ε = 0.85-0.95). The results show that increasing Re and decreasing ε lead to enhance Nusselt number. Richardson number below 100 has no significant effects on Nu. At Re above 400, Nusselt number proportional with Darcy number. The enhancement of Nusselt number is found to be 250 % by increasing Re from 100 to 900, 290 % by decreasing ε from 0.95 to 0.85 and about 13 % by increasing Darcy number from 10-6 to 10-1.

Published: December 2022

Giriş ve Amaç: Araştırma, cerrahi kliniğinde yatan hastaların ameliyat sonrası uyku kalitesi ve uyku düzenini etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapıldı.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın evrenini, Hatay ilinde bulunan bir araştırma hastanesinin cerrahi kliniklerinde ameliyat sonrası yatan hastalar oluşturmaktadır. Basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemi ile ameliyat sonrası hastanede en az 3 gün yatan 210 hasta araştırmaya dahil edildi. Veriler Richards-Campbell Uyku Anketi (RCUA) ve Uyku Düzenini Etkileyen Etmenler Formu (UDEEF) ile toplandı.

Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalamaları 50,57 olup, %63,8’i kadındır. Hastaların %36,2’sine hepatobiliyer sistem cerrahisi uygulandığı, %81,9’unun cerrahi girişim nedeniyle 3 gündür hastanede yattığı ve %83,3’ünün iki kişilik odada kaldığı belirlendi. Hastalarda uyku düzenini en fazla etkileyen faktörlerin odanın fazla ışıklı olması, oda ısısı, odanın kalabalık olması ve vücuda takılı tıbbi cihazlar olduğu tespit edildi. Hastaların RCUA toplam puan ortalaması 40,89±14,61 olarak saptandı. UDEEF puanları ile RCUA uyanık kalma süresi ve uyku kalitesi puanları arasında negatif yönde ilişki belirlendi (r=-0,147, p=0,034).

Sonuç: Hastaların uyku kalitesinin orta düzeyde olduğu ve uyku durumunu etkileyen faktörlerin artmasının hastaların genel uyku kalitelerini düşürdüğü sonucuna ulaşıldı. Cerrahi öncesi uyku kalitesini etkileyen bireysel ve çevresel değiştirilebilir faktörlerin belirlenmesi ve uyku kalitesini artırmaya yönelik hemşirelik girişimlerinin planlanması önerilmektedir.

Published: December 2022

Recycling plastic waste is one way to minimize the negative impact on the environment. The use of additive manufacturing which speeds up the prototyping process and product design currently uses a 3D printer with ABS and PLA filament materials. Remaining filaments and unused parts/prototypes, or products that have been manufactured with actual materials will be discarded. This causes waste for the environment. The use of recycled filament for 3d printing machines is one way to deal with plastic waste, besides that the use of recycled filament is a way to reduce the cost of plastic filament. Recycled plastic filament is used for 3d printer machines with the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) type. In this method the plastic filament material is melted and then extruded according to the desired pattern. In this study the results of the prints were tested using the tensile test method. Parameters used, print temperature, layer height, print speed. Response data analysis uses the Response Surface Method (RSM) with the Box-Behnken type. The results of the tensile test data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Based on the results of the ASTM D638-10 type 1 tensile test analysis, the print temperature parameter is 2600C, the layer height is 0.12 mm and the maximum print speed is 50 mm/s.

Structural biology describes biological processes at the molecular level and is an integral part of undergraduate study programs in molecular biosciences. Students are often fascinated by the visualizations created by molecular graphics software, which allow them to see the molecular world for the first time. Today, molecular visualization and structural analysis do not require expensive high-end computers but can be performed on the students' own laptops and are therefore highly suited for active learning approaches. We have designed a semester-long learning path that integrates molecular graphics and structural analysis using PyMOL into an undergraduate course in biomolecular structure and function. Compared to stand-alone PyMOL introductions, the semester-long learning path allows for an improved pedagogical design. The path progressively introduces more advanced functions in relevant scientific contexts and allows for spaced repetition. Advanced analysis functions in PyMOL are available only via the command line, so the learning path also teaches basic scripting and serves as an accessible introduction to computational thinking because a few lines of code can produce stunning results. Student surveys carried out at the end of the course suggest that the learning path supported the ability to perform structural analysis to a high degree. Moreover, a simulated exam showed that almost all students were able to carry out basic visualization tasks using PyMOL scripts, while three-quarters could undertake advanced structural analysis after following the course. In summary, integration of molecular graphics software with teaching of structural biochemistry allows a hands-on approach to analyzing molecular mechanisms and introduces biologically oriented students to computational thinking.
Informed Forms: Introducing Climate Response into the Early Design Studio

Published: December 2022

In an October 2017 article in Architect Magazine, editor Ned Cramer identified climate change as “the fundamental design problem of our time.”1 In the same article, he described the considerable impact – nearly 40% of annual world carbon emissions2 – that buildings contribute to this problem, and called for change in the industry. In February of 2019, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) publicly endorsed the Green New Deal, and in September, the AIA board ratified Resolution 19-11, referred to as The Big Move, which “declares an urgent imperative for carbon reduction.”3 This resolution also advances the development of the Awards Common Application, which will require the disclosure of building energy performance metrics, and will use the Committee on the Environment Top Ten Measures for ethical and responsible design, in the consideration of all AIA Design Excellence Awards submittals.4 These policy developments indicate a recognition within the architecture industry of the necessity to mainstream climate action and zero-carbon design. More recently, the 2020 National Architectural Accrediting Boards (NAAB) Conditions for Accreditation emphasize the same responsibility for educational institutions, identifying “Ecological Knowledge and Responsibility” as a key criteria of program evaluation (PC.3).5 This is reinforced by the addi- tion of the requirements that student work demonstrate “the ability to make design decisions” while considering “the measurable environmental impacts” and “the measurable outcomes of building performance” within the framework of a successful architectural design project.

The review of the seismicity of Northern Eurasia in 2016–2017 contains a description of seismic networks, features of the seismic regime and individual significant earthquakes in 16 regions of Russia and neighboring countries. Seismic monitoring of this territory was carried out by networks of seismic stations in Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. In most regions, the seismic process proceeded in the "background" mode. In Northern Eurasia as a whole, a decrease in the seismic energy released in 2016 was noted relative to its long-term average value, which was also observed in 2015. The increase in the released energy in 2017 did not lead to reaching the level of 2015. The Near Aleutian earthquake on July 17, 2017 with Mw=7.8 was the maximum for the period under consideration. It was one of the strongest instrumentally recorded events in the western part of the Aleutian arc. The maximum shaking intensity in the territory of Northern Eurasia (I=7) was caused by two earthquakes – the Aketao earthquake on November 25, 2016 with Mw=6.6, localized in China, near its borders with Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and the Karamyk earthquake on May 3, 2017 with Mw=6.0, Tajikistan. Seismic activity of platform territories is confirmed by the Mariupol earthquake on August 7, 2016 with Mw=4.6 and intensity I=5 in Mariupol.

The article describes seismic observations in the Carpathian region in 2016–2017, which were carried out, as before, by two organizations from two states: in Ukraine – the seismicity department of the Carpathian region of the Institute of Geophysics of the NAS of Ukraine, in Moldova – the seismology laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Seismology of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova. In Ukraine, 20 stationary digital stations and 1 temporary in the area of Stebnik with a processing center in Lviv, in Moldova – six stations with a center in Chisinau. Different programs, local hodographs and magnitudes were used. The consolidated catalog of earthquakes was created in Lviv. A maps of epicenters and a table of the distribution of earthquakes of different classes by region are given. The total number of earthquakes in 2016–2017 was NΣ=140 in the range KR =4.0–14.4 with depths h=1–160 km and the total seismic energy ΣE=2.92·1014 J. The maximum earthquake with KR=14.4, MSH=5.7 and hрР=95 km was registered on September 23, 2016 located in the Vrancea zone. The earthquake was felt by the population in Romania and Moldova. In the cities of Chisinau and Cahul, the earthquake was felt with intensity I=3–4 points. In the Precarpathian and Transcarpathian regions, all earthquakes are weaker. The strongest event in Transcarpathia was a tangible earthquake, which occurred north of the village of Uglya, Tyachevo district, on June 6, 2017 with KR=9.8, of h=5 km. The earthquake was felt by the population of 20 settlements with an intensity ranging from 2 to 4–5 points. The most powerful event in Precarpathian in 2016–2017 there was a tangible earthquake that occurred in the Drohobych district of the Lvov region on September 29, 2017 with KR=9.8 at a depth of 1.9 ± 0.4 km. Perhaps it was a tectonic earthquake that triggered a collapse in the mine, or vice versa – the collapse of the rocks was recorded as a seismic event. The strongest event in Bukovina was an earthquake that occurred on July 12, 2016 at 18h21m with an energy class of KR=9.9 and magnitude МSH=3.0 in the area of the village of Kurazhin, Khmelnitsky region and was felt by the population with an intensity of 3–4 points. In general, in the seismically active zone of Vrancea and Bukovina in 2016–2017 there was an increase in the level of seismicity compared to those in 2012–2015, and in areas № 1, 3 and 8 there was a slight decrease in the level of seismicity.

In 2016–2017, the network of Azerbaijan seismic stations included 35 digital stations, which continued to operate unchanged. The set of parameters determined for assessing the earthquake magnitude was the same as in 2015. The local magnitude MLАзр was determined only. The total number of earthquakes recorded by the Azerbaijan network of stations amounted to 6044 in 2016 and 6094 in 2017. However, only 128 of them with MLAzr3.0 are given in the catalogue of earthquakes of Azerbaijan published in the Electronic supplement to this article. Seismic activity in the study area remained unchanged. The number of earthquakes of a representative level (K≥9) compared to their number in 2015, as well as the released seismic energy changed insignificantly. In 2016 the most significant seismic event on the territory of the Republic was the earthquake of August 1 with MLAzr=5.6 and intensity at the epicenter I0=5, and in 2017 – of November 15 with MLAzr=5.7 and seismic intensity at the epicenter I0=7.

In 2016 and 2017, seismic observations on the territory of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan were carried out by networks of these countries. Seismic networks of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan included 25 and 39 stations respectively. The catalog of earthquakes for 2016 included 705 events with KR=8.6–15.4. The strongest earthquake in the 2016 catalog was earthquake of November 25 at 14h24m with KR=15.4, located at the territory of neighboring China. Devastating for China, the earthquake caused panic among the residents of the border settlements of our countries. The Kyzyl-Art earthquake, which occurred on June 26, 2016 at 11h17s (KR=15.1) in the south of Kyrgyzstan, was the second by magnitude event in 2016. Its epicenter was located on the northern slope of the Zaalay Range. The Kyzyl-Art earthquake caused numerous aftershock series, which continued until the Aketao event, which had its own aftershock series that lasted until the end of the year. As a result, the number of earthquakes included to the catalog for 2016 increased by 2.3 times compared with 2015. The 2017 catalog of earthquakes included 265 events with KR=8.6–14.5, i.e. the total seismicity in the region decreased by 2.7 compared with previous year. The strongest earthquake in the 2017 catalog (KR=14.5), Karamyk earthquake, occurred on May 3 at 04h47m in the spurs of the Alai Range in the territory of Tajikistan, near the Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan border. The strong foreshock (KR=12.9) occurred 18 seconds before the main shock. The earthquake accompanied by numerous aftershocks. Another rather strong earthquake (KR=13.2) was registered on September 29 at 13h49 m on the territory of Uzbekistan.

The characteristic features of the seismicity of the Altai-Sayan region in 2016–2017 are considered. The stationary seismic network within the reporting period consisted of 52 stations. Upgrading the recording equipment and retrofitting the stations with strong motion sensors was continued. In addition to the stationary network, four local time networks functioned in the region. One of them investigated the seismic process and accumulated data for constructing the Moho boundary using the method of receiving functions in the Altai Republic, the other three were focused on the study of technogenic seismicity in the area of coal minings of the Kemerovo and Novosibirsk regions. During the reporting period, 11424 earthquakes were registered in the region, 58 % of them occurred in the Chui-Kurai zone of the Altai Mountains, for which a brief description of seismicity is given separately. The total seismic energy released in earthquake foci was 6.141012 J in 2016 and 2.381013 J in 2017. The slope of the linear part of the earthquake recurrence chart for 2016–2017 has not undergone significant changes compared to previous reporting periods. The largest earthquake on the territory of the Altai-Sayan region for the reporting period (ML=6.39) occurred on April 4, 2017 at 15h07m in the Zaisan Depression area of the Kazakhstan Republic.

We consider a character of the seismic process in the Baikal region and Transbaikalia in 2016–2017. During the considered period, 17869 earthquakes with KR≥5.6 were registered; 95 % of these seismic events were localized in the Baikal rift zone. The largest earthquakes occurred at the north-eastern flank of the Baikal rift on November 22, 2016 (KR=13.9, Mw=5.0) and April 3, 2017 (KR=13.5, Mw=4.8). Felt effects, not exceeding 5, were observed for 47 regional earthquakes. Focal mechanisms were determined from P-wave first-motion polarities for 73 seismic events (KR≥9.4) and seismic moment tensors (scalar seismic moments, moment magnitudes, focal mechanisms) were calculated from surface wave amplitude spectra and regional P-wave first-motion polarities for 12 seismic events (KR≥11.9, Mw≥4.2). It was found that normal faults and combined types of motions were realized in sources of 94 % of the earthquakes with the obtained focal mechanisms. In general, moderate seismic activity was observed in 2016–2017.

According to the data of 23 seismic stations of the Yakutia branch of GS RAS, the seismicity monitoring of the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was carried out for 2016–2017. During this period, more than 800 earthquakes with an energy class of KR≥7.1 (magnitude M≥1.7) were registered. This is somewhat more than in 2015 (N=567) and is due to the extension of the time interval of work up to 2 years. The epicenters were located in the zones of interaction between large lithospheric plates: the Eurasian and North American in the Northeastern and Arctic regions, as well as the Eurasian and Amur in the southern regions of Yakutia. The clusters of these events comprised two extended (Arctic-Asian and Baikal-Stanovoy) seismic belts. On the map of epicenters, these zones are displayed as a continuous strip of earthquakes from the Olekma River to the Sea of Okhotsk in the south and in the form of separate groups and clusters of earthquakes between the Laptev and Okhotsk Seas – in the northeast and in the Arctic. The highest seismic activity was noted in the Olekma area, the Stanovoy Ridge and the Aldan Highlands (Southern Yakutia) and the Chersky Ridge and Laptev Sea (in the North-East). Information on the manifestations of local seismicity in the Lena River Delta, where from August 2016 to December 2017 is given. 25 temporary field automatic stations under the joint Russian-German project "Seismicity and neotectonics of the Laptev Sea region" (SIOLA) in 2016–2018 operated. The first results of the distribution of Arctic earthquakes in the lower reaches of the Lena River in space, time, by depth and their connection with active tectonics are considered.

All earthquakes felt in 2016–2017 on the territory of Moldova occurred outside its borders, in the Vrancea region (Romania), with intermediate depths in the range hрР = 95–135 km. In 2016, the population of Moldova felt 2 earthquakes: September 23th with Mw=5.7, hрР=95 km and December 27th with Mw=5.6, hрР=100 km. For them, data on quakes in 113 and 150 localities, respectively, were collected, according to which isoseismal maps were made. The earthquake of September 23, 2016 was most evident in the eastern and southern parts of Romania. But it was also felt in the north of Bulgaria, in Moldova and the south-west of Ukraine, in Serbia and Macedonia. The echoes of the earthquake reached Istanbul in the south, Tirana in the west, Gomel in the north and Mariupol in the east from the epicenter. The maximum intensity of 6 points on the Mercalli scale was noted in Buzau. The earthquake of December 27, 2016 was most evident in the eastern and southern parts of Romania, as well as in northern Bulgaria, Moldova, southwestern Ukraine and Serbia. The maximum intensity of I=5 on the Mercalli scale was noted in Vanatori. In 2017, the population of Moldova felt 4 earthquakes: February 8th, May 19th, August 1st and 2nd. The earthquake on February 2nd with Mw=4.5 and hрР=126 km manifested itself in Romania and in the Republic of Moldova with an intensity of I=2–3. The earthquake on May 19 with Mw=4.3 and hрР=124 km was felt in the eastern and southern counties of Romania (in 6 localities), in the central and southern regions of the Republic of Moldova. Tremors from the August 1st earthquake with Mw=4.3 and hрР=107 km were felt in the eastern and southern counties of Romania, as well as in the central and southern regions of Moldova (Cahul and Chisinau, I=2–3). The earthquake on August 2nd with Mw=4.9 and hрР=135 km was felt in the eastern and southern counties of Romania, in Cahul with an intensity I=3 and in Chisinau – I=2. The solutions of the focal mechanism given in the article indicate that all the considered earthquakes occurred under the influence of the prevailing compression close to horizontal. It is noted that the value of the total seismic energy released in 2016 in the focal area of Vrancea is the maximum annual energy for this area in the 21st century.

On April 23, 2017 at 06h 37m UTC, an earthquake with a magnitude of Mw=5.1 was registered in the foothills of the Yuzhno-Kamyshovy Ridge of the Krillon Peninsula. This earthquake was the strongest on Sakhalin Island in 2017. The earthquake parameters were determined according to the data of the Sakhalin branch of the Geophysical Survey RAS regional network with the use of data from the global IRIS Network (GSN) and stations of Hokkaido University. The obtained earthquake parameters according to the regional network are consistent with the data of international seismological centers. The maximum intensity of shaking from the earthquake on April 23, 2017 in the settlements of Southern Sakhalin was I=4 on the MSK-64 scale, on the Hokkaido Island – I=II on the JMA scale. The displacement in the earthquake foci was realized under conditions of near-horizontal sublatitudinal compression. The type of seismic dislocation is a reverse fault. The use of data from the seismic stations of the local network of Southern Sakhalin allowed analyzing the seismic regime in the epicentral zone of the Krillon earthquake.
