Published: June 2024

During the operation of the ship's power plant, the formation of oily waters is inevitable. Numerous methods and technologies used on ships do not always ensure the purification of oily waters to the amount of oil content regulated by national and international standards and requirements. In this regard, the development of a new type of installations that allow for the complete purification of oily waters from petroleum products, as well as to reduce their energy and weight and size indicators is relevant. The article presents the first results of experimental studies of the method of thermal neutralization of oily waters, consisting in their spraying in the gas outlet tract of a marine diesel engine, followed by evaporation of water and afterburning of petroleum products from the composition of oily waters with exhaust diesel gases.
The research was carried out on a specially designed laboratory stand. The burner of the stand allows to obtain exhaust gases identical in composition and temperature to the exhaust gases in the flue of a marine diesel engine. A gas or liquid medium can be supplied to the flue through the nozzle. Within the framework of the described research period, the influence of the flow rate and composition of the medium supplied to the flue on the temperature at various points of the flue and the resulting composition of the exhaust gases were evaluated.
The main task of this stage of the study is to determine the effect of the flow rate and composition of the medium supplied to the flue on the compliance of the gas parameters at the outlet of the installation with the standards for the content of harmful substances in the exhaust gases of marine diesel engines.

Published: June 2024

In the context of the ongoing digital revolution, the development of generative design, machine learning, the active use of 3D marketing in advertising, 3D printing technologies, new principles of logistics and computer-aided design systems, the business processes of the enterprise are radically changing. There is a need to deepen the orientation of business processes to the customer, and enterprises need to solve the problem of ensuring low cost of both the business processes themselves and the security components supporting them. Due to the complexity of the integration of information systems, it is necessary to create in advance a concept for the development of security components based on the development of the company's logistics business processes.
Obviously, it is necessary not only to take into account the aspects of information security (IS) when improving business processes, but to consider the problem comprehensively, that is, to develop both a concept and a methodology for developing, implementing business processes, their development, and estimating the cost of IS components. It is necessary to ensure the flexibility and adaptation of the implemented business processes of the enterprise.
Innovative development of water transport enterprises as a branch of high-tech industry
Authors: Chebotarev Vladislav S. , Kuzmichev Igor K.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the innovative development of enterprises of high-tech products on the example of water transport.
         Water transport refers to high-tech products and in this regard, its production has a rather complex production logistics (intellectual, supply, organizational, financial, information, personnel, innovation, etc.) [2-3]. In this regard, the search for promising directions in the development of high-tech products becomes particularly relevant and important: a real opportunity to implement research and innovation and investment projects, the implementation of which will bring enterprises of the high-tech industry for the production of water transport to leading positions not only in the national economy, but also in the world [4-6]. This determines the importance of monitoring research projects as a vector for the development of innovative production at two levels: product (high-tech products) and technological (innovative technologies) [7].
           The innovative vector of development of enterprises of high-tech products allows the actual efficiency of high-tech production to be brought closer to full potential efficiency, other things being equal, production factors in a short time of the stage of research and scientific and technical development of the life cycle of products of shipbuilding products, which is given the main attention in the article [6-7].
          At the same time, an innovative approach, introducing products into industrial circulation, naturally provides conditions for further scientific and technical (innovative) development of both the products themselves and technologies (in other words, early introduction of products ensures its early withdrawal: the speed of the wheel of economic efficiency of production activities).
         When the actual efficiency of the limit of the potential efficiency of technological production is reached, in accordance with the laws of synergy, there is a leap, an innovative transition to a new (next, subsequent) level of potential efficiency of production of high-tech products, which naturally puts forward new requirements of an innovative nature to production. Otherwise, production due to the (law) moral aging of industrial products is doomed to bankruptcy due to the so-called factor of technological flexibility of production (TG). Which (TG), if organizationally taken into account in the economic activities of enterprises as forecasting, planning and management (design and innovation management), forms (economically ensures) the sustainable functioning and development of enterprises of high-tech products in modern conditions (the wheel of economic efficiency of production activities is the human factor): in the market model of the state transformation of a product (product) into a commodity and contracting.
Expansion of the range of permissible loads of a marine four-stroke diesel engine when using an adjustable turbocharger nozzle apparatus
Authors: Konyukov Viacheslav L.
Published: June 2024

The paper analyses the influence of the adjustable turbocharger nozzle apparatus on the parameters and criteria determining the thermal and mechanical stress of the main marine four-stroke diesel engine. The methodology of construction of limiting characteristics of mechanical and thermal stress using approximation dependences of parameters and criteria obtained by calculation-theoretical method is developed. The main parameters limiting the range of maximum permissible diesel engine loads on mechanical and thermal stress in the initial variant and in the variant with adjustable nozzle apparatus are revealed. It is established that the increase in the angle of rotation of blades of the adjustable nozzle apparatus up to the maximum permissible value causes a decrease in the parameters of thermal stress, as a result of which the zone of maximum permissible modes of operation of the diesel engine expands. At the same time, the parameters and criteria determining the mechanical stress of the diesel engine increase, but the reduction of the zone of maximum permissible loads on mechanical stress does not reduce the range of maximum permissible loads established by changing the thermal stress parameters.
Review and analysis of methods for assessing the impact of operating conditions of underwater crossings of main pipelines on the safety of navigation
Authors: Gerasimov Sergey S. , Sitnov Aleksandr N.
Published: June 2024

Currently, a unified deep-water system (USS) exists and operates on the territory of the Russian Federation, with a total length of waterways of 6,500 km. Such dimensions create conditions for its work in contact with the work of another important area of economic activity - energy, in particular, with the oil and gas industry. Trunk pipelines through which oil and petroleum products are transported often cross water bodies, including navigable rivers. Violation of the conditions for the safe operation of underwater crossings of main pipelines (UPC) can lead to serious accidents and, in some cases, to the spill of oil-containing products into water bodies, which will cause serious economic, environmental and social damage, including the safety of navigation. Hence, the research topic related to assessing the influence of operating conditions of underwater crossings of main pipelines in various aspects of economic activity, including navigation safety, is relevant. The article provides information about previously conducted research in this area, outlines their key issues, provides information on methods and methods for solving problems, and also outlines the vector for further research.

Authors: Dewi Surya , Syafruddin Syafruddin
Published: June 2024

The Pinisi Festival in Bulukumba, Indonesia, showcases the cultural heritage of the Kajang community and offers a platform for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to participate and benefit from the tourism sector. This study examines the role of effective risk management in enhancing the sustainability of MSME participation in the festival. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. Findings reveal that MSMEs demonstrate a good understanding of risk management, identifying key risks such as damage to goods, a decrease in visitor numbers, and adverse weather conditions. To mitigate these risks, MSMEs employ strategies such as maintaining backup stock, intensifying marketing efforts, and investing in weather-resistant infrastructure. The application of effective risk management not only helps MSMEs address challenges during the festival but also enhances their competitiveness in the market. Furthermore, government support and collaboration with private entities play a crucial role in overcoming challenges and ensuring the success of the festival. This study contributes to the understanding of risk management practices in MSMEs and highlights the importance of collaboration in promoting sustainable tourism development.

Published: June 2024

Commercial UAVs specifically developed for disaster management purposes are frequently priced at an exorbitant level. Usually, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have a flight length of 15-30 minutes. However, crisis management operations often demand longer mission durations, occasionally in difficult weather circumstances. In order to tackle this problem, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) was selected as the material for the body and wings of the UAV due to its cost-effectiveness in comparison to materials such as fiberglass, carbon fibre, epoxy, Kevlar, and wooden balsa. The EPS material utilized exhibits a tensile strength of 88 pounds per square inch (psi). For flight testing, a LiPo 3S battery with a voltage of 11.1 volts was used in the UAV. The virtual wind tunnel test was carried out with precise parameters, including an air density of 1.225 kg/m³ and a wind speed of 50 m/s. In order to improve the wing's structural integrity, a lightweight aluminium bar was incorporated. The initial design of the UAV wing showcased an elongated glider-like structure, enabling prolonged flight durations using a solitary propeller. The simulation findings showed that the UAV successfully controlled the drag coefficient with time, maintaining a traction force of 200N during testing. The UAV's capacity to endure gusts of up to 70 knots, achieve elevations of 5000 feet, and travel lengths of up to 90 km was demonstrated in practical trials, contingent upon the control systems employed. Ultimately, the newly designed UAV has the capability to sustain flight for a duration of 8 hours, thereby overcoming the constraints typically encountered with commercial UAVs employed in disaster management.
Frailty: Focus on Regenerative Medicine

Published: June 2024

Frailty, as a specific condition of increased vulnerability and deterioration of general health associated with aging in the elderly, is an emerging problem worldwide with serious implications for clinical practice and public health. Frailty increases the risk of falls, hospitalization, disability, and death. Muscle aging is associated with progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Loss of muscle mass with age can be related to muscle fiber atrophy and loss of muscle fibers. With increasing human age, remodeling of bone tissue becomes more prone to slow and steady loss of bone mass, which is primarily associated with loss of bone formation by osteoblasts. Recent preclinical and clinical studies have confirmed the safety of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) in the treatment of frailty. MSCs are attracted to sites of damage where they act to reduce inflammation and promote cell repair. Thus, there is an assumption that frailty can be treated with cell therapy
Aspergillus oryzae as a host for SARS-CoV-2 RBD and NTD expression
Authors: Karaman Elif , Uysal Serdar
Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for effective diagnostics, and extensive research has been conducted on the N-terminal domain (NTD) and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein, which are critical for viral binding. This study focuses on the expression of NTD and RBD in pyrG auxotrophic Aspergillus oryzae for the first time. Recombinant NTD and RBD were expressed as glucoamylase-fusion proteins and purified using metal affinity chromatography. Size-exclusion chromatography was used to confirm the correct folding and purity of the recombinant proteins. Employing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the binding ability of the fusion proteins to human anti-IgG antibodies in serum samples was evaluated. The results indicated a significant and concentration-dependent interaction, affirming the functionality of the NTD and RBD fusion proteins and establishing their efficacy in antigen-antibody interactions. This study not only elucidates the usage potential of the fusion proteins in immunoassays but also addresses the suitability of the A. oryzae expression system as a biotechnological platform to produce SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Furthermore, this study lays the foundation for scalable and cost-effective mass production of effective NTD and RBD proteins in A. oryzae, opening up a new era of COVID-19 research, vaccine development, and immunoassay design.

Published: June 2024

Torsion in an "archwire" that forms a pair when it interacts with a "bracket slot" produces torque. The archwire moves the tooth through the torsional tension created in the activated state, depending on the degree of torsion, the size and quality of the wire, and the deformability of the bracket. The dimensions of the bracket hole may unintentionally vary when brackets are made. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of built-in torque from various manufacturers.  Objective:- To measure and analyse the built-in torque of the maxillary right canine brackets, maxillary right lateral canines, and maxillary right central incisors from commercially available bracket systems (JJ Orthodontics, American Orthodontics, Koden Orthodontics, Desires - Ozone series). The brackets will be measured in 0.022 inches.  Material and Method:- The sample was made up of three brackets from each company (maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine), the torque of which was measured in a dimension of 0.022 inches. Using a stereomicroscope, images were captured, measurements were made following operator calibration with IMAGE PROPLUS, and a digital readout was generated.  Results:- In practically every bracket, the built-in torque mean values were lower. The built-in torque levels were most similar to the American Orthodontics standard values.

We present JWST NIRCam (F356W and F444W filters) and MIRI (F770W) images and NIRSpec Integral Field Unit (IFU) spectroscopy of the young Galactic supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) to probe the physical conditions for molecular CO formation and destruction in supernova ejecta. We obtained the data as part of a JWST survey of Cas A. The NIRCam and MIRI images map the spatial distributions of synchrotron radiation, Ar-rich ejecta, and CO on both large and small scales, revealing remarkably complex structures. The CO emission is stronger at the outer layers than the Ar ejecta, which indicates the re-formation of CO molecules behind the reverse shock. NIRSpec-IFU spectra (3–5.5 μm) were obtained toward two representative knots in the NE and S fields that show very different nucleosynthesis characteristics. Both regions are dominated by the bright fundamental rovibrational band of CO in the two R and P branches, with strong [Ar vi] and relatively weaker, variable strength ejecta lines of [Si ix], [Ca iv], [Ca v], and [Mg iv]. The NIRSpec-IFU data resolve individual ejecta knots and filaments spatially and in velocity space. The fundamental CO band in the JWST spectra reveals unique shapes of CO, showing a few tens of sinusoidal patterns of rovibrational lines with pseudocontinuum underneath, which is attributed to the high-velocity widths of CO lines. Our results with LTE modeling of CO emission indicate a temperature of ∼1080 K and provide unique insight into the correlations between dust, molecules, and highly ionized ejecta in supernovae and have strong ramifications for modeling dust formation that is led by CO cooling in the early Universe.
M17 MIR: A Massive Star Is Forming via Episodic Mass Accretion

Published: June 2024

We analyzed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) band 6 data for the outbursting massive protostar M17 MIR. The ALMA CO J = 2–1 data reveal a collimated and bipolar north–south outflow from M17 MIR. The blueshifted outflow exhibits four CO knots (N1 to N4) along the outflow axis, while the redshifted outflow appears as a single knot (S1). The extremely high velocity (EHV) emissions of N1 and S1 are jetlike and contain subknots along the outflow axis. Assuming the nearest EHV subknots trace the ejecta from the accretion outbursts in the past decades, a tangential ejection velocity of ∼421 km s−1 is derived for M17 MIR. Assuming the same velocity, the dynamical times of the multiple ejecta, traced by the four blueshifted CO knots, range from 20 to 364 yr. The four blueshifted CO knots imply four clustered accretion outbursts with a duration of tens of years in the past few hundred years. The intervals between the four clustered accretion outbursts are also about tens of years. These properties of the four clustered accretion outbursts are in line with the disk gravitational instability and fragmentation model. The episodic accretion history of M17 MIR traced by episodic outflow suggests that a massive star can form from a lower-mass protostar via frequent episodic accretion events triggered by disk gravitational instability and fragmentation. The first detection of the knotty outflow from an outbursting massive protostar suggests that mass ejections accompanied with accretion events could serve as an effective diagnostic tool for the episodic accretion histories of massive protostars.
Gnuastro: Generating Polar Plots in Astronomical Images

Published: June 2024

When a structure displays dependence on distance and azimuthal angle from a center (for example the spiral arms of galaxies or the diffraction spikes of stars), projecting the pixels to polar coordinates greatly simplifies their study. This projection from one pixel grid to another is known as a “polar plot.” For this purpose, a new option has been added to the GNU Astronomy Utilities (Gnuastro) in version 0.23 to “astscript-radial-profile” script, which we describe in this research note. The figures of this research note are reproducible with Maneage, on the Git commit 5d34243.
Clarifying the nomenclature of Strychnos bredemeyeri and Lasiostoma (Loganiaceae)
Authors: Setubal Robberson Bernal , Struwe Lena , Prado Jefferson , Forzza Rafaela Campostrini
Published: June 2024

Strychnos (Loganiaceae, Gentianales) is a large and pantropical genus of woody plants, ethnobotanically important as a source of many toxic alkaloids, including strychnine. Unfortunately, the status of numerous names at various ranks of Strychnos remains unresolved, including that of many specific or infraspecific taxa in the Neotropics. In this study, we address Strychnos bredemeyeri (basionym Lasiostoma bredemeyeri), a species described in 1827 based on type material collected in Venezuela during the poorly documented Austrian Märter expedition (1783–1788). Strychnos bredemeyeri is an unarmed liana with solitary tendrils and axillary inflorescences that occurs in Neotropical rainforests and savannas in Brazil, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. We clarify here the nomenclatural status of Lasiostoma Schreb., an illegitimate and superfluous genus currently in synonymy under Strychnos, and its former species Lasiostoma bredemeyeri [= Strychnos bredemeyeri]. Also, we lectotypify S. pedunculata and S. trinitensis, both taxa currently synonyms of S. bredemeyeri.
Territoires d’industrie, de la difficulté d’une mise en œuvre territorialisée de la politique industrielle

Published: June 2024

La question de l’industrie comme vecteur de résilience aux chocs et la capacité de nos économies à (re)créer de la valeur productive, a été remise au centre des débats suite aux crises successives (économique, environnementale, sanitaire, géopolitique) que nous rencontrons depuis plusieurs années. Nous nous interrogeons dans cet article sur l’efficacité du dispositif Territoires d’Industrie en tant que politique industrielle territorialisée pour répondre aux enjeux spécifiques d’un territoire. En étudiant le cas précis de l’axe Seine, nous cherchons à comprendre les spécificités et le rôle de l’intermédiation du dispositif Territoires d’Industrie, et plus précisément les difficultés rencontrées pour territorialiser cette démarche. Nous montrerons que la question de la gouvernance est centrale dans l’efficacité du dispositif TI et que celle-ci est complexe à mettre en place pour l’axe Seine car un grand nombre d’acteurs intervient et que le dispositif a lui-même évolué depuis sa création.Classification JEL: R11, 025, 018.
Divorce et domination masculine. Réalités et représentations chez les Algériens
Authors: Yacine Tassadit
Published: June 2024

Cet article montre les raisons pour lesquelles le divorce est mal perçu dans les différents groupes qui composent la société algérienne. Pour cela, nous avons tenté de remonter aux contextes historiques et anthropologiques qui caractérisent la société algérienne en se fondant sur la perception de la société kabyle que l’on retrouve mutatis mutandis dans d’autres régions d’Algérie. Le divorce est rejeté car il remet en question la place du patriarcat et révèle l’importance du symbolique. Véritable échec d’une vision du groupe, le divorce est une image grossie de la structure anthropologique méditerranéenne qui perpétue la domination masculine et révèle en gros plan les rapports de force et de sens. Combattre le divorce c’est participer à renforcer la cohésion sociale.
Socrate sur la scène de l’opéra
Authors: Döring Klaus
Published: June 2024

On examine deux livrets d’opéra, l’un baroque, l’autre contemporain, dans lesquels la figure de Socrate joue le rôle principal. Le livret La patienza di Socrate con due moglie, écrit par N. Minato pour A. Draghi (1680) et repris plus tard sous une forme remaniée par G.P. Telemann pour son opéra Der geduldige Sokrates (1721), repose sur l’histoire imaginaire qui remonte à l’Antiquité, du mariage de Socrate avec deux épouses, Xanthippe et Myrto. Dans le livret écrit par E. Krenek pour son opéra Pallas Athene weint (créé en 1955), la fin de la guerre du Péloponnèse (431-404 av. J.-C.) de manière à refléter la dictature fasciste d’Adolf Hitler et l’époque de la guerre froide. Au centre de l’action se tient Socrate, qui lutte en vain contre la tyrannie et l’absence de liberté politique, et qui sera pour finir victime de ce combat.
Aristote et la signification
Authors: Sedley David
Published: June 2024

Aristote dit au début du De interpretatione que les mots symbolisent des pensées, qui, à leur tour, ressemblent aux choses. Le présent article soutient qu’Aristote parle alors principalement de la signification des phrases entières et au mieux de façon secondaire de la sémantique des mots individuels. Cette pro­position est défendue en attirant l’attention sur un changement dans la significa­tion de « signe » et des termes apparentés ; changement qui a lieu au cours du premier chapitre, qui nous permet de séparer la manière dont les mots « signi­fient » des pensées (déclaratives, interrogatives, etc.) en les exprimant, de la manière plus étroitement sémantique dont on dit par conséquent qu’ils signi­fient des choses. La déclaration initiale célèbre d’Aristote ne trouve pas son application principale dans la grammaire rudimentaire des noms et des verbes qui suit dans les chapitres 2-3, mais plus loin dans le traité, et surtout dans le chapitre 14, où elle est invoquée pour établir, dans la perspective de la dialec­tique, que la relation entre une phrase et sa négation est la plus forte de toutes les contrariétés. On explique aussi l’insistance d’Aristote, dans ce même traité, sur le caractère conventionnel de la langue : car, dans les chapitres 8 et 11, c’est à cause du caractère conventionnel de la langue et de l’échec qui en résulte de toute tentative pour le langage de correspondre systématiquement à la distinc­tion des choses entre elles, que ce qui, d’un point de vue grammatical superfi­ciel, est une phrase simple peut s’avérer constituer en réalité deux ou plusieurs phrases, autrement dit, signifier (c’est-à-dire exprimer) deux ou plusieurs pensées différentes. L’importance primordiale accordée par Aristote à la signification des phrases entières s’explique ainsi par le rôle du De interpretatione en tant qu’ou­vrage subordonné à la dialectique, discipline pour laquelle la relation entre les paires d’affirmations contradictoires est fondamentale. En outre, en le compa­rant avec le lekton stoïcien, on montre que la prépondérance accordée par Aris­tote à la phrase entière reflète le cadre téléologique de sa pensée.
Des « néo-réductions » au zoo humain, les parcours carcéraux de Vaimaca Péru et Guyunasa/Michaëla (chef et épouse Charrúas)
Authors: Robelin Cyril
Published: June 2024

Le cacique Vaimaca Péru et son épouse Guyunasa/Michaëla sont deux Indiens Charrúas originaires de l’actuel Uruguay. Nés au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles, leur monde connaît de profonds bouleversements. Les colons espagnols et portugais relèguent les Charrúas dans des « néo-réductions » qui les privent de liberté. S’ils participent de 1811 à 1831 au processus d’indépendance de la République d’Uruguay, ils restent des indésirables. Le gouvernement du jeune État convoque alors les Charrúas dans trois lieux (Salsipuedès est le plus important) pour un massacre qui s’apparente à une action génocidaire. Vaimaca et Guyunasa figurent parmi les rares prisonniers et sont retenus captifs dans le fort de Montevideo. Vendus à un Français, François de Curel, directeur du Collège de Montevideo, leur expérience carcérale change alors de nature : ils sont en effet choisis, avec deux autres compatriotes, pour être exposés en France dans l’un des premiers zoos humains et débarquent près des Champs-Élysées en 1833. L’attraction demeure cependant un relatif échec, les Parisiens se sont en effet peu déplacés pour voir ces Indiens vivant dans des conditions misérables. Les quatre Indiens Charrúas deviennent alors des curiosités scientifiques. Les expériences menées sur eux ont pour but de prouver la supériorité raciale des Européens sur les autres peuples et ainsi légitimer toutes les politiques de domination coloniale. Vaimaca Péru meurt en 1833 et son épouse en 1834. En 2002, le retour des ossements du chef dans le Panthéon de Montevideo constitue un enjeu mémoriel de taille, puisqu’il s’agit de donner une place aux Indiens dans l’histoire de l’Uruguay.
The SWIPT-Enabled Cooperative Full-Duplex Relaying Communication for 6G Radio Networks
Authors: Kumar Rajeev
Published: June 2024

This chapter presents the simultaneously wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-enabled cooperative communication for 6th generation (6G) radio networks. These networks integrate many applications and use tiny internet-of-thing (IoT) devices that need large amounts of power to maintain energy threshold level of the networks for a long time. Therefore, the energy harvesting (EH) is a promising technique to provide sufficient power to small IoT devices and energy constrained user terminals in the 6G radio networks. For this purpose, the authors consider two-way full-duplex (FD) relaying network to derive closed-form expressions of end-to-end ergodic capacity by exploiting power splitting (PS) and time switching (TS) protocols for Rayleigh fading channels. From the numerical results, they observe that the proposed FD-based EH policies perform better as compared to half-duplex EH policies. Finally, this chapter provides future research directions.
