The operation of power facilities in winter, characterized by low ambient temperatures reaching minus 50 degrees Celsius, requires their adaptation to work in such conditions. With a decrease in the ambient temperature, the vaporization of gasoline also worsens, the ignition conditions of the working mixture in the cylinders of diesel cars change, the power consumption of batteries increases when starting a cold engine. (Research purpose) The research purpose is conducting a patent search and creating a reliable, highly efficient thermoelectric heating device with a low cost, which allows improving the performance of a power vehicle (car) working in winter conditions. (Materials and methods) The KamAZ-55111 car, adapted to low-temperature conditions of use, with a thermoelectric heating module installed, was studied. The tests were carried out according to generally accepted general and particular methods using specialized mathematical calculation programs, experimental modeling and regression analysis methods. (Results and discussion) It was determined that when the engine is running, the exhaust gases heat the exhaust pipe and the surface of the device installed on it with the Peltier element. When the vehicle is moving, the temperature difference increases with the flow of cold air, which provides an increase in electrical energy for charging the traction alkaline battery, then through the controller to the electric heating element for heating and maintaining the optimal temperature of the working fluids and components of the car. It was found that the heating time of the hydraulic cylinder working fluid from minus 40 to plus 30 degrees Celsius was 0.5 hours. (Conclusions) The proposed device made it possible to warm up and maintain the optimal engine start temperature. In 0.5 hours, we received an economic effect in the amount of 38.5 thousand rubles.

Micro-arc oxidation is a modern method of hardening aluminum alloy parts. Technological recommendations for the formation of reinforcing coatings by micro-arc oxidation on the working surfaces of the covers of the gas distribution mechanism of engines made of aluminum alloys recovered by the supersonic gas dynamic spraying method are still insufficiently developed. (Research purpose) The research purpose is developing a technology for restoring the covers of the gas distribution mechanism of engines made of aluminum alloys by supersonic gas-dynamic spraying with hardening by micro-arc oxidation, which allows significant increasing their service life. (Materials and methods) Powder materials of grades A-80-13, A-20-11 produced by the Obninsk Powder Spraying Center were used for supersonic gas dynamic spraying. It was noted that the main components of these powder materials are aluminum and zinc, as well as non-metallic ceramic components. A silicate-alkaline electrolyte of the «KOH-Na2SiO3» type was used for microarc oxidation as the most affordable, widely used and easily disposed of. (Results and discussion) We have developed a combined recovery technology with hardening of the working surfaces of the covers of the gas distribution mechanism of engines made of aluminum alloys, which includes the following basic operations: cleaning of the covers; their defecation; preliminary mechanical treatment; supersonic gas-dynamic spraying of worn surfaces; their subsequent hardening by micro-arc oxidation; finishing mechanical treatment of the coating and control. (Conclusions) The developed combined technology will allow an average of 2.4 times to increase the life of the covers in ordinary operation. This technology is universal, and the possibility of restoring the covers of foreign engines is especially relevant due to the need for large-scale import substitution.

Published: December 2023

Additional hardening of the hardened blades of mower knives and saw blades can significantly increase their resource, which will positively affect their quality and demand. Therefore, the study of the influence of different modes of electric spark processing on the wear resistance of already hardened (hardened) blades seems to be an urgent task. (Research purpose) The research purpose is determining the impact of various of electric spark processing on the wear resistance of hardened knife blades. (Materials and methods) Used the blades of construction knives as the object of research, which is due to their low cost and the ability to apply the results of research in the hardening of expensive hardened knives of mowers and saw blades, since in both cases comparable grades of tool steels are used. The electrodes used were made of VK20 alloy, as well as graphite. (Results and discussion) It was revealed that the modes of electric spark processing affect the wear resistance of hardened blades both up and down. We obtained maximum wear resistance during electric spark treatment of the knife blade with a VK20 alloy electrode in mode 6 with an elongated electrode departure at an electrode rotation speed of 910 rpm (compared with the control sample, blade wear decreased by 38 percent). It was found that increasing the heating of the blade edge during electric spark processing, for example, by increasing the current frequency from 50 to 200 hertz, leads to overheating of the processing zone and softening of the blade edge. (Conclusions) With a decrease in the heating of the electric spark treatment zone, for example, by reducing the frequency and increasing the resistance of the electrode, the hardened edge of the blade not only does not undergo softening, but also increases its wear resistance.

Published: December 2023

The analysis of the harmonic composition of the voltage at the substation of the Irkutsk region shows that for all three phases, the average values of the coefficients of the harmonic component of the voltage for the harmonic spectrum from 2 to 9 exceed the corresponding GOST normally permissible values. The results of the measured values of the currents demonstrated that the harmonic level depends on the magnitude of the load. (Research purpose) The research purpose is studying the models for predicting non-sinusoidal parameters at medium-voltage power substations and nodal voltages at 0.4 kilovolt substations connected by a single grid and determining the smoothing functional dependencies necessary for calculating the grid mode. (Materials and methods) Presented data on measurements of electricity quality indicators at the Novozhilkino substation and its connections, conducted an analysis of measurement emissions. The simulation of operating modes was carried out using the Google Colaboratory package. (Results and discussion) We tested the hypothesis that the non-sinusoidal voltage coefficient at one of the connected substations can be predicted with acceptable accuracy at known voltage indicators and non-sinusoidal voltage coefficients at the head and other connected substations. Emissions were analyzed and visualizations were constructed based on measurement data at the supply substation and outgoing connections, and a correlation matrix was constructed. The predicted data of the non-sinusoidal coefficient with a scattering characteristic, which is about 0.7 for all substations of the system, were obtained experimentally. It was determined that the results of the forecast based on machine learning models correlate with the data of measurements in electrical networks. (Conclusions) Proposed a methodology for the effectiveness of forecasting non-sinusoidality based on existing machine learning models, which allow to implement automatic calculation to solve the problem, to correct models, to increase the accuracy of forecasting under uncertainty. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was shown by the example of real experimental data at substations of the central networks of the Irkutsk region.

Promoting socioeconomic equity through automatic formative assessment
Authors: Barana Alice , Marchisio Conte Marina
Published: December 2023

Ensuring equity in education is a goal for sustainable development. Among the factors that hinder equity, socioeconomic status (SES) has the highest impact on learning Mathematics. This paper addresses the issue of equity at the secondary school level by proposing an approach based on adopting automatic formative assessment (AFA). Carefully designed mathematical activities with interactive feedback were experimented with a sample of 299 students of grade 8 for a school year. A control group of 257 students learned the same topics using traditional methodologies. Part of the sample belonged to low SES. The learning achievement was assessed through pre-and post-tests to understand if the adoption of AFA impacted learning and whether the results depended on the students’ SES. The results show a positive effect of the experimentation (effect size: 0.42). Moreover, the effect size of the experimentation restricted to the low-SES group is high (0.77). In the treatment group, the results do not depend on SES, while in the control group, they do, suggesting that AFA is an equitable approach while traditional instruction risks perpetuating inequalities.

Lexical-semantic parallels in the Kyrgyz and Altai languages (etymology of kinship and the human body)
Authors:   Niigata University, Akmatalieva Zhakshylyk B.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to use the example of the etymology of words related to family relationships and the human body to show the general and special in the basic vocabulary of modern Kyrgyz and Altai languages. The author translated 113 words from Kyrgyz and Altai dictionaries. These words were clarified among speakers of the Kyrgyz and Altai languages. The work reveals for the first time different meanings of the basic vocabulary of these languages that were not previously recorded in the dictionary. Its analysis revealed a large number of completely or partially matching words with the same meanings. Some words have meanings specific to each of the languages being compared. Phonological differences were discovered (using some consonants, some vowels and long vowels), as well as slight differences in the use of some words. A hypothesis has been put forward that the features of the lexical fund of the Altai language were formed under the influence of the languages of other peoples of Siberia.

The manuscript of the book was prepared on April 21, 1900; it was censored on November 27 of the same year and was published in the printing house of Kazan Imperial University in 1901. The book is not large, it consists of 14 pages. The work was written in the form of instructions and recommendations. It includes three small chapters, which discuss mainly the issues concerning a woman’s life. In the first chapter, the author focuses on the problems of education and upbringing; the second chapter contains recommendations to mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law; and in the third chapter, the duties of husbands and wives are addressed. The book is also notable for the fact that it helps to identify or clarify the pages of M. Muzaffariya’s life, to find out the author's personal view of past events and to present the atmosphere of that time, since the content of the book is supplemented with examples from the educator’s life.
RESISTIR Y RE-EXISTIR
Authors: Hurtado Lina Maria , Porto-Gonçalves Carlos Walter
Published: December 2023

O conceito de re-existência emerge no contexto latino-americano e seu uso se difundiu sobretudo em discussões acadêmicas, mas nasce ou se inspira no seio das lutas sociais. Neste artigo analisa-se as diversas interpretações desse conceito, a trajetória percorrida e discute-se seu alcance. Discutem-se as diferenças entre re-existência e resistência, mas colocam-se em diálogo para mostrar sua complementaridade. Propõe-se que re-existência e resistência são processos que se acumulam, se sobrepõem, incorporam, e renovam, dando novos sentidos à existência e ao espaço, e, portanto, mudando as estratégias de territorialização, com base no passado/tradição, nas lutas/conflitos presentes e nas projeções/sonhos/imaginações.
APUNTES LATINOAMERICANOS PARA LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE UNA GEOGRAFÍA AMBIENTAL
Authors: Castro Hortensia , Bietti Gonzalo Lus
Published: December 2023

A partir de reconocer que la cuestión ambiental es, sin duda, uno de los signos clave de nuestro tiempo y que la Geografía en su tradición disciplinar guarda un rico acervo en la temática, este artículo se origina en el interés por conocer y situar algunas propuestas que han emergido en los últimos años en América Latina bajo el rótulo de Geografía Ambiental. A partir de analizar las perspectivas epistemológicas y teóricas y la problematización geográfica que proponen dos programas de investigación, el Centro de Investigación de Geografía Ambiental de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México y la Rede de Pesquisadores em Geografia (Socio)Ambiental oriunda del ámbito brasileño, interesa indagar qué se enuncia y entiende por Geografía Ambiental. Esa exploración está atravesada por otras preguntas más amplias: ¿es necesaria una Geografía Ambiental?, ¿acaso la Geografía ya no es en sí misma ambiental?, ¿en qué puede contribuir una Geografía Ambiental que no haya sido aportado por otros campos próximos, como la Ecología Política?, ¿qué Geografía Ambiental necesitamos y podemos construir? En relación con este conjunto de preguntas, y a partir de aquella revisión, se propone un recorrido que desemboca en una (posible) hoja de ruta para la conformación de un campo de saberes situado, que contribuya a la problematización de lo ambiental y lo geográfico.

U Zajčevu zborskom stvaralaštvu osobita je uloga pripala Hrvatskom pjevačkom društvu „Kolo” (utemeljeno 1862., djelovalo je do 1948.). „Kolo” je bilo prvo pjevačko društvo kojemu je Zajc posvetio neku svoju zborsku skladbu (U boj!, 1866.). Ona je označila i početak skladateljeve suradnje ne samo s „Kolom” nego i s drugim hrvatskim i inozemnim pjevačkim društvima te potaknula autora na skladanje većega broja skladbi (46) s eksplicitnom posvetom „Kolu”, u čijemu je arhivu sačuvano 99 opusa iz Zajčeva pera. Na temelju uvida u partiture Zajčevih skladbi posvećenih „Kolu” (pretežito a cappella muških zborskih sastava, ali i vokalno-instrumentalnih te jednoga orkestralnog djela) razmatraju se njihove glazbene i tekstne odrednice, vrijeme i kontekst njihova nastanka te Zajčevi višestruki odnosi s „Kolom” – kao skladatelja, dirigenta vlastitih skladbi i djela drugih autora te kao poticatelja i promicatelja zborske djelatnosti. Ona se očitovala u zajedničkim okupljanjima i nastupima „Kola” i drugih hrvatskih pjevačkih društava, a u širem smislu i u promociji i potvrđivanju hrvatskoga nacionalnog identiteta, napose stvaranjem i izvedbom poticajnih domoljubnih skladbi u vrijeme hrvatske kulturne i društveno-političke stvarnosti nakon popuštanja stega Bachova apsolutizma.

Published: December 2023

CCR5 is an important CC chemokine receptor for the normal entry of Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in host cells. Mutations in this gene have been
linked with delayed HIV infection, therefore, the current case-control study
was conducted to identify genetic polymorphism in CCR5 gene in Pakistani
population and to evaluate its association with resistance for HIV
infections. All regulations of MOOSE and Helsinki Declaration were strictly
followed during the entire study. DNA was extracted from the blood samples
of HIV positive and HIV negative patients. Extracted DNA was amplified for
CCR5 gene by PCR. Amplified product was sequenced to screen out polymorphism
mutation, including most prevalent 32 base-pairs deletion through Bioedit.
Novel SNP in 5?UTR region was identified and examined by CRYP-SKIP server.
None of the studied samples demonstrated any previously reported
polymorphisms. CRYP-SKYP server predicted that this polymorphism has no
effect on splicing or transcription of CCR5 gene. Genetic Polymorphism of
delta32 mutation in CCR5 gene was found in Pakistani individuals. To the
best of our knowledge, this is the first report from this region. However,
large scale studies should be conducted for extensive view of the
association of delta32 mutation in CCR5 gene and resistance for HIV
infection.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE

To explore the associations among mannose, indexes of insulin resistance (IR) and secretion, and long-term cardiovascular outcomes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Fasting mannose was assayed in 1,403 participants, one-half of which had a first myocardial infarction (MI) with either normal glucose tolerance (n = 1,045) or newly detected dysglycemia (i.e., impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes; n = 358). Regression models were used to explore mannose associations with surrogate indexes of IR/insulin secretion. Multivariate Cox models were used to investigate the independent association between high (higher quartile) versus low (lower three quartiles) mannose and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (n = 163) during the 10-year follow-up.

RESULTS

Mannose was independently associated with IR indexes (all P ≤ 0.001). High versus low mannose was independently associated with MACE (hazard ratio 1.54, 95% CI 1.07–2.20) in the overall population.

CONCLUSIONS

Mannose might represent a new biomarker able to track early, potentially detrimental glucometabolic alterations independently of glycemic state.

There are some studies in the literature showing an increased incidence of bladder cancer when the patient has a history of interstitial cystitis. Cancer in traditional Chinese medicine is caused when there is energy deficiency and Heat retention. The Purpose of this Study: Is to demonstrate that patients with interstitial cystitis have energy deficiency inside the five internal massive organs and when they are submitted to situations that can cause decrease even more of these energies, such as the use of highly concentrated medications (antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant medications), the vital energy can decrease and can cause more propensity to have cancer in the future. Methods: One case report of a patient with a history of chronic interstitial cystitis using several antibiotics to prevent and treat symptoms of urinary tract infection. She was very severe; the pain does not subside and the doctor was thinking about the possibility to take out the Bladder surgically. After this, they made a diagnosis of bladder cancer and she was submitted to treatment with BCG to cure her cancer. She returned to my clinic because she was having so many pains in the bladder without improvement using antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. I measured the energy of the five internal massive organs using the radiesthesia procedure. Results: All organs were in the lowest level of energy, rated one out of eight. The treatment of this condition was to orientate the patient to the dietary aspects and she was submitted to auricular acupuncture with apex and Bladder apex ear bloodletting. It was also prescribed highly diluted medications according to the theory of Constitutional Homeopathy of the five Elements Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and crystal-based medications. The patient improved from her pain condition and she is very well nowadays without any symptoms of interstitial cystitis. The Conclusion of this Study: Is to demonstrate that patients with interstitial cystitis have energy deficiency inside the five internal massive organs and the use of highly concentrated medication can reduce this energy, causing more propensities to have cancer

Authors: R Safwate
Published: December 2023

Malakoplakia is a chronic inflammatory pathology that can affect any organ in the body. Urological malakoplakia presents several clinical manifestations, depending on its location. Most often, it is responsible for hematuria, which may be mistaken for a neoplastic pathology. Positive diagnosis is made by anatomopathological study, which shows the presence of pathognomonic Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. Treatment is based on antibiotic therapy, with the possibility of surgery if medical treatment fails. We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient who presented with hypogastric swelling and haematuria, and was first diagnosed with a malignant tumour of the urachus and went for aggressive surgery. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of malakoplakia

Published: December 2023

Neste artigo, objetivamos realizar uma reflexão a respeito da constituição de sujeito norteada pela Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), focalizando questões as quais nos permitem analisar os conceitos de currículo, memória e história, com base nas teorias críticas de Le Goff (1990), Silva (1998), Libâneo (2012), Martins (2019), dentre outros autores. Metodologicamente, optamos por uma abordagem qualitativa por meio de revisão bibliográfica e estudo documental. Nosso questionamento principal é: em que medida a constituição de sujeito promulgada pela BNCC converge, verdadeiramente, com uma formação emancipatória e reflexiva? A nosso ver, os conceitos ora apresentados são fundamentais para a formação de um sujeito situado historicamente no seu tempo, portanto, um cidadão.

It is shown that infinites of the subsequence of odd numbers is not a
counterargument of the violation of the Collatz hypothesis, but a universal
characteristic of transformations of natural numbers by the 3n + 1 algorithm. A
recurrent relationship is established between the parameters of the sequence of Collatz
transformations of an arbitrary pair of natural numbers n and 2n.

DEVICES
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National
            University, Stakhiv Volodymyr
Published: December 2023

The article presents the development and analysis of the models of various IDT
designs and for the acoustophoretic control of microparticles in of lab chip
microchannels. The novelty of the work consists in the development of mathematical
models for new configurations of IDT, suitable for focusing, sorting and concentrating
of heterogeneous microparticles. The developed models are implemented in the COMSOL
environment, which allows the designer to use them for the calculation of the specified
IDT structures for real acoustofluidic lab-chips. It is shown that increasing the
performance and stability of the SAW can be achieved by choosing the material of the
piezoelectric substrate with a high coefficient of electromechanical coupling, as well
as optimizing the structural and technological parameters of both IDT and microchannel.
Various variants of constructions of the IDT were considered and their comparative
analysis was carried out.
