Authors: BOYRAZ Ekrem Zahid
Published: May 2021

Education and training is a systematic activity that aims to equip individuals purposefully. Throughout history, education and training activities have been on the priority agenda of humanity both at the individual and social level. Education and training, which has become more prominent on a global scale today, has turned into a phenomenon that political powers have to plan at the institutional level for their continuity. Ottoman State is a political element that gives the necessary importance to education in terms of its continuity. In this context at the 19th century, one of the rüşdiye (Ottoman secondary school) schools opened within the scope of education and training activities in the modernization process was Sinop Rüşdiye School. The rüşdiye schools, which first started teaching activities in 1847 in Istanbul, followed be opened in the rural provinces since 1855. In the study, in addition to general information about rüşdiye schools; content information of Arabic, Geography, Persian, French, Hendese (Geometry), Hesap (Calculus), Hüsn-ü Hat (Islamic Calligraphy), The Qur’an with Tajwit and Ulum-i Diniyye (Theology), Malumat-i Nafia (Beneficial Knowledge) and Hıfzıssıhha (Public Hygiene), Painting, History, Turkish lessons and course hours are included. As progress has been made in the field of modernization and institutionalization in educational institutions, there have been new developments in education levels. A rüşdiye school was opened in 1864 in Sinop sanjak, which was dependent on Kastamonu province. The teaching activities of the Sinop Rüşdiye School, the number of students, the names of the employees were tried to be examined within the obtained information and documents. Thus, it is aimed to share information with the present study about Sinop Rüşdiye School that has not been shared at the academic level yet. In addition, in the context of the graduation ceremony news of 1882 in the press, it was tried to understand the point of view of educational activity from the perspective of an administrator, teacher, and student.

Surgimiento y evolución de la ergonomía como disciplina: reflexiones sobre la escuela de los factores humanos y la escuela de la ergonomía de la actividad
Authors: Torres Yaniel , Rodríguez Yordán
Published: May 2021

La ergonomía es considerada, en la actualidad, una disciplina científica consolidada, que se expande continuamente a nivel global. Este escenario actual es el resultado de diferentes visiones que han permeado la evolución de la ergonomía. En este artículo se hace un recorrido histórico de la ergonomía como disciplina, tomando en cuenta la escuela de los factores humanos y la escuela de la ergonomía de la actividad. Se presentan los orígenes de estas escuelas, sus paradigmas subyacentes y se realiza una comparación entre ellas. Las reflexiones presentadas en el artículo en torno a la ergonomía parten de la idea que, desde las diferencias y la diversidad, Ensayo Condiciones de salud se erige el desarrollo. Los autores de este artículo son partidarios de abordar la ergonomía como una única disciplina, reconociendo la convergencia y la complementariedad entre las dos escuelas. Más allá de las diferencias existentes, la práctica de la ergonomía debe enfocarse en el diseño de los sistemas de trabajo, tomando como eje central al ser humano. Se espera que estas reflexiones permitan a los profesionales de la ergonomía y de otras diciplinas afines ganar mayor comprensión de cómo abordar la actividad humana para transformarla positivamente.

Authors: Nesterchuk Inna
Published: May 2021

The main goal of research is studying the regional specifics of traditional food of the ethnic groups inhabiting the Right-Bank Polissia and identifying prospects for the use of gastronomic brands in tourism. Substantiation of opportunities and ways to use the gastronomic brand of the territory in the development of hotel and restaurant business have been investigated. The theoretical significance lies in the development of the gastronomic brand of the Right-Bank Polissia - the national Ukrainian cuisine - due to tourist gastronomic tourism and brand promotion as the significance of the destination. The purpose of gastronomic tours - is to get acquainted with the peculiarities of the cuisine of a country. It is important to learn the features of the local recipe, which for centuries has absorbed the traditions and customs of the locals, their culture of cooking.

The methodological basis of the research is scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists and practitioners on the organization and development of tourism, regional economy, event management, event marketing, strategic planning, organization of gastronomic tourism, evaluation of economic efficiency of gastronomic tourism and in particular gastronomic activities. This paper uses such forms of research as surveys and questionnaires, special marketing research, study of financial and commercial reporting of restaurants. Information of sales agents, data from fairs, exhibitions and workshops, culinary blogs, own expeditionary research.

Results. According to the results of the research, gastronomic events and branded dishes of the Right-Bank Polissia have been analyzed and new directions of gastronomic tourism development have been outlined. Namely, the gastronomic brand is an objective necessity, technology and using them at different levels: from the state level to the enterprise level, one can not only survive in today's complex market conditions, but also strengthen his competitiveness in the world market. Gastronomic branding of the territory with its correct understanding becomes a very effective tool for updating the historical and cultural heritage, and branding of territories in their relationship and with a comprehensive and differentiated approach can lead to a new impetus to their development and unity of nations and the world.

Scientific novelty. Elements of scientific novelty are concentrated in specification of possibilities and ways of gastronomic tourism development, in particular development of a Polissia kitchen brand using gastronomic brand of the territory. The definition of "gastronomic brand" of the Right-Bank Polissia was introduced.

Practical significance. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility and feasibility of using the proposed methodological approaches and practical recommendations in the formation of strategies for promoting the gastronomic brand at the regional level.
The Mississippi Valley earthquake of June 30, 1947*
Authors: Heinrich Ross R.
Published: May 2021

On June 30, 1947 (04h23m53s.1G.C.T.), an earthquake occurred in the Mississippi Valley near the confluence of the Meramec and Mississippi rivers a few miles south of St. Louis, Missouri. The shock reached a maximum intensity of VI (Modified Mercalli) and caused minor damage in a region about St. Louis. This earthquake occurred at a time when the Mississippi River at St. Louis was reaching the crest of one of the largest floods in history, a fact which partly accounted for the high degree of nervous reaction produced by the tremor, and which also provoked the question, “Did the flood trigger the earthquake?”

This paper reports the limited data on this earthquake and discusses the possible relations of the determined epicenter to previous local seismic activity and to geologic structure.

The conclusions reached in the paper are: (1) The earthquake originated in a basement zone of transitional structure which lies between the major regional tectonic elements. (2) There seems to be a genetic relation between this earthquake and epicenters which have been located along the Ste. Genevieve fault, on the Duquoin flexure, and on the northeastern Ozark flank. (3) The question, “Did the flood trigger the earthquake?” cannot be answered.
Discussion of “Proposed use of the T phase in tsunami warning systems”*
Authors: Leet L. Don
Published: May 2021

Ewing, Tolstoy, and Press of Columbia University reported that “a striking correlation between the occurrence of a short-period earthquake phase (T phase) traveling through the ocean with the speed of sound in sea water and the occurrence of tsunamis has been observed.”

Their statements about the characteristics of T are incorrect in every essential detail.

For the Pacific Ocean, they list five tsunami between 1933 and 1946, of which the largest, on April 1, 1946, was generated by an earthquake for which no T was recorded. They neglect to mention the earthquake of January 23, 1938, near Hawaii, which produced the largest T recorded on the Pacific coast to date, but no tsunami. The importance of these outstanding exceptions, errors in reporting the data, and uncertainty concerning the actual number of T phases recorded on the Pacific coast combine to make the evidence for any value of T as a tsunami warning decidedly inconclusive.

In the Atlantic, the proposal that T be used as a tsunami warning reduces to an absurdity. Ewing, Tolstoy, and Press state that between 1939 and 1948 “20 Dominican Republic shocks produced T phases,” and that one of them was followed by a definite tsunami. Actually, more than 200 Dominican Republic shocks produced T within that span of years, and many in other Atlantic regions. With one minor tsunami among 200 to 250 T phases, the correlation is not impressive.
Longitudinal waves through the Earth's Core*
Authors: Denson M. E.
Published: May 2021

Amplitudes, periods, and travel times of the longitudinal P′ or PKP core waves have been investigated. Results indicate that the epicentral distance of the main focal point and the travel time of P′ phases vary with the periods of the waves. This variation would seem reasonably explained in terms of dispersion. The point of reversal in the travel-time curve of the waves through the outer core is believed to lie near 157°. Data suggest a discontinuity between 120° and 125° rather than 110°. Anomalies existing in energy, period, and travel-time relationships of the P′ phases indicate that current concepts of velocity distribution and of propagation paths within the core are in need of modification.
A study and evaluation of the tripartite seismic method of locating hurricanes*
Authors: Donn William L. , Blaik Maurice
Published: May 2021

Tripartite records from the U. S. Navy stations at Bermuda, Cherry Point, and Miami were studied in detail for the 1950 hurricane season. Following a discussion of the theoretical error expected in this study, the results of single and average azimuth computation are given. Since the error between computed and observed storm azimuths exceeds the theoretical by a considerable amount, a study of the causes of the errors was undertaken. The difficulties are considered to result from instrumentations and procedure, lack of wave coherence at the three elements of the tripartite net, and refraction or multiple wave paths.

A large range in velocities was observed, with indications that the lower values are the more reliable. Selection on a velocity basis gives somewhat better success than averaging all readings over the chosen interval of time. Suggestions for improvement of the instrumentation program are given.
Against Misinformation
Authors: Hausman Bernice L.
Published: May 2021

An analysis of ‘misinformation’, a primary framing for vaccination dissent, illuminates weaknesses in understanding vaccination controversy and the dissemination of false beliefs. Rather than approaching vaccine dissenters as misinformed, we can identify how untruths circulate in good-faith efforts to identify facts and clarify the challenges that the Internet poses to elites’ control of information. When we shift our view, we can see how narrow social networks and lack of empathy for others drives polarized perceptions of “fake news” and threatening cultural trends. The antidote to these problems is education in empathy, enhanced identification with others different from ourselves. Examples from the Covid-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests in the U.S. provide illuminating perspectives about how the humanities can be harnessed to solve persistent social problems.
Undinge, Coffee Cup Lids, and Reinhabiting Spaces: Some Notes on a Register of a (Post-)Critical Philosophical Life
Authors: Ramaekers Stefan
Published: May 2021

The analyses in this issue on post-critique strike me as doing a particular kind of work, which I discuss in terms of ‘finding (post-)critique’s exact space’. And the philosophers developing the analyses all seem to be engaged, each in their own way, in a practice which I will discuss in terms of ‘reinhabiting a space of (post-)critique’. I will draw on Ludwig Wittgenstein and Stanley Cavell to develop a few reflections on this.
Implementation of Automatic Transfer Switch on the Solar Home System at the Goat Farm Houses
Authors: Chamim Anna Nur Nazilah , Peggy Irawan Agil , Syahputra Ramadoni
Published: May 2021

In Pirak Mertosutan Hamlet, Sleman, Yogyakarta, there is a goat farm complex with about 600 m2. The intricate lighting comes from the National Electricity Company (PLN) and the Solar Home System (SHS). SHS is the primary energy source for lighting, while PLN is a secondary energy source that replaces it when the power supply from SHS goes out. So far, the transfer from SHS to PLN has been carried out by humans. This fact is considered inefficient because the SHS supply does not always die during the day. At night, the officers who move the difficulties have to go to the cage complex located relatively far from residential areas. To facilitate the transfer of energy sources from SHS to PLN and vice versa. It does not need to be done by officers. It is necessary to automatically install a means to automatically move the two sources automatically. This tool is the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). This tool can move the energy supply from SHS to PLN and vice versa. By considering the specifications used in the SHS in the farm complex, the ATS is made and then installed in the farm complex. After the installation is carried out, the functional test is carried out. The ATS installation test results show that the ATS can work according to the design; namely, when the SHS is off, the source used is automatically switched to PLN. When the SHS is on, the source that was using PLN will automatically switch to SHS.

Published: May 2021

AIM: To reveal the importance of TGFBI gene screening for candidates with a family history of corneal disease or granular opacities in corneal stroma before refractive surgery.
METHODS: A 37-year-old male (proband) underwent bilateral laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in 2002, with right vision decreased significantly in 2006. The proband and other 32 members of the family underwent a detailed ophthalmic examination, including vision acuity, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp photograph, fundus examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT) of cornea, and in vivo confocal microscope (IVCM) and peripheral blood was used for genomic DNA extraction. Seventeen TGFBI gene exons were analyzed via polymerase chain reaction amplification and direct sequencing.
RESULTS: Slit-lamp, IVCM, and OCT images showed that a large amount of dense and confluent granular opaque were seen at the interfaces of the flap and remnant stromal bed in right and light degree in left eye. Sanger sequencing showed that there was a 371G>A mutation (CGC>CAC) in exon 4, which indicated that he harbored a heterozygote R124H mutation, identifying the diagnosis of Avellino corneal dystrophy (ACD). Among the other 32 family members, 6 of them harbored the identical mutation to that in the proband.
CONCLUSION: ACD will worsen and recur after LASIK. Preoperative gene-screening for TGFBI mutations is important in diagnosing ACD.

AIM: To investigate the causal gene mutation and clinical characteristics for two Chinese families with autosomal dominant congenital coralliform cataract.
METHODS: Two Chinese pedigrees with congenital cataract were investigated. Routine ophthalmic examinations were performed on all patients and non-affected family members. Peripheral blood samples were collected, and the genomic DNAs were extracted. The coding regions of proband’s DNAs were analyzed with cataract gene panel. The identified mutation was amplified by polymerase chain reaction, and automated sequencing was performed in other members of two families to verify whether the mutated gene was co-segregated with the disease.
RESULTS: Congenital coralliform cataract was inherited in an autosomal dominant mode in both pedigrees. For each family, more than half of the family members were affected. All patients presented with severe visual impairment after birth as a result of bilateral symmetric coralliform lens opacification. An exact the same defect in the same gene, a heterozygous mutation of c.70C>A (p. P24T) in exon 2 of γD-crystallin gene, was detected in both probands from each family. Sanger sequencing analysis demonstrated that the mutated CRYGD was co-segregated in these two families.
CONCLUSION: A c.70C>A (p. P24T) variant in CRYGD gene was reconfirmed to be the causal gene in two Chinese pedigrees. It is known that mutated CRYGD caused most of the congenital coralliform cataracts, suggesting that the CRYGD gene is associated with coralliform congenital cataract.

AIM: To explore levels and determinants of awareness and knowledge about glaucoma among patients.
METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study that included adult patients from October to the end of December 2018. A semi-structured questionnaire was designed by the researchers to measure the levels of awareness and knowledge about 18 basic information about glaucoma. The sheet was divided into 4 domains: types of glaucoma, risk factors, clinical features, and management. A knowledge score (KS, range=0-18) was calculated, with higher scores indicating higher levels.
RESULTS: A total of 383 patients responded to the questionnaire, 61.9% males, mean±SD age was 38.5±12.94 years old, and 61.6% had a university degree or higher. Of them, 6.3% and 23.2% reported personal and family history of glaucoma, respectively. The most frequently reported source of information about glaucoma was another person with glaucoma (28.2%), followed by physicians (24.8%) and TV (19.6%). Knowledge by item ranged from 3.1% to 82.5% correctness rate, while KS showed mean=5.91 and median=5; and reliability testing of the knowledge scale showed Cronbach’s alpha=0.782. Higher KS were found among respondents with higher educational level (P=0.036), diabetes history (P=0.025), and personal (P<0.001) and family (P<0.001) history of glaucoma.
CONCLUSION: This study reveals low awareness and knowledge levels about glaucoma among the attendees of a local eye care hospital, where several misconceptions about disease risk factors, clinical features, and management are identified.

Authors: Kusrini Elisa , Hanim Kholida
Published: May 2021

Risk of goods and security incidents, such as theft, boycott, smuggling and terrorism are likely to occur in a shipping process, therefore risk controls are needed to reduce the adverse effects. A research on the supply chain security risk management based on ISO 28001 security supply chain is conducted to overcome such problems. The purpose of this research is to analyse compliance & supply chain security risks and propose a mitigation based on ISO 28001 in a logistic service provider in Indonesia. A gap analysis is conducted to assess the compliance of security performance in seven areas, i.e. supply chain security management, security plans, asset security, personnel security, information security, security of goods & conveyance and transportation units closed cargo. The result of the assessment showed that a compliance level of above 75% indicates that the company is ready to implement an ISO 28001. The risk mitigation plan is proposed based on Failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) which calculates the Risk Priority Number (RPN). The RPN value indicates the level of risk where the higher the value, the more critical the risk and become the priority to handle. The mitigation proposed for managing risk are reducing, sharing and avoiding.

Published: May 2021

The utilization of energy in blockchain division is high as resource allocation models are using this technology and the rundown of resource utilization cases is continually developing. The communicated and permanent nature of blockchain innovation might be utilized to quicken the progressing change to increasingly decentralized and digitalized vitality frameworks and to address a portion of the difficulties the business is confronting in providing security in identification of authorized users and resource allocation transactions among the authorized users. The allocated resources to the users need to be recorded, otherwise the attackers may use them for malicious operations. In any case, blockchain is a developing innovation and it is viewed as a basic vulnerability by numerous users as the difficulties and chances of execution are still to a great extent. There is in this way an absence of information and shortage of dynamic gadgets for getting why, when and how the innovation can include significant worth. The proposed Resource Allocation for Authorized Users using Time specific Blockchain Methodology (RAAUTBM) performs resource allocation to authorized users to avoid malicious actions among blockchain-based use cases and increase practical information about how blockchain could be actualized. The RAAUTBM model verifies all the users for allotting access to the system. The proposed model allots the resources only to the authorized users and to identify the malicious users and remove them from the framework. The resources once allotted to a user remains for a time interval and then the resource is re-allotted to other authorized users for avoiding delay. Resource exchanges in this segment are known to be dull and wasteful, to a limited extent because of the absence of promoted straightforwardness. This research work centers around the advancement of a blockchain application that can improve the resource exchange procedure among authorized users. The proposed model is compared with the traditional methods and the results demonstrate that the proposed model is effective in allocating resources only to the authorized users.

The instrumental principles of constructing a compact measuring head of a scanning probe microscope are discussed. To minimize the overall dimensions, a piezo package is used, which makes it possible to implement in one unit both the functions of the actuating element of the SPM tracking system and the functions of the module for approaching the probe to the sample. A control scheme for a piezo-inertial linear step mover is presented, and histograms of the step size distribution are measured. Diagrams of compact SPM heads operating in tunneling and semi-contact power modes using self-sensing probe sensors are presented. To increase the size of the survey SPM images, scanning over several overlapping areas was implemented with further stitching of the SPM images in a single frame. The algorithm for stitching SPM images is discussed. The deviations in the directions of the stage and probe movements, arising during the new scanning frame selection, are being corrected within the framework of the SPM image stitching algorithm. The results of capturing SPM images using a compact SPM head and stitching SPM images by means of elaborated algorithms are presented.

Basing on the analysis of the physical features of the operation of the microphone on electrokinetic phenomena, it has been experimentally confirmed that this microphone works on a functional principle different from the principle of operation of a condenser microphone. It is shown that a microphone based on electrokinetic phenomena can increase its sensitivity by up to about 40 dB due to pumping. Comparison of two experimental studies shows that the sensitivity of an electrokinetic microphone can strongly depend on the size of the porosity of the dielectric placed between the electrodes of the microphone.

Discussed are problems of higher education modernization in order to improve education quality and get competent specialists. Recommendations for the educational process reform in higher institutions are closely connected with state exams, curricula and work programs, and financing issues, and the duration of study at the university. It is necessary to amend both the tactics and the strategy of higher education, and first and foremost, it is obligatory to stop using falsification of figures and mark the student accordingly to his or her progress. This will allow the student to create self-motivation for learning, based on the elimination of irresponsibility and slovenly work, permissiveness in receiving knowledge. In higher education, the principle "From each person according to his or her ability, to each person according to his or her work" should be a priority

Researched is the problem of education-related (study-related) migration in modern world. Every year some million students migrate on the planet in search of most qualitative education. Because foreign students is very attracting category of migrants as to many indicators, university begin to start really “struggle for talents”, truing to attract gifted and ambitious youth. The aim of the article is in the study of modern trends of education-related (study-related) migration and in the analysis of the process of integration of foreign students on the territory of the Russian Federation. To achieve this aim, there were used traditional methods of research: the authors analyzed secondary data and deep interview, respondents of which were foreign students, studying in Russian universities. Results of research widen general views on modern trends of educational migration. By the way of the analysis of secondary data, the authors were successful to substantiate active growth in quantity of foreign students in the RF, as well as fix economic effects, getting of Russian universities because of inflow of foreign students. In results of interview, the authors also elaborate factors in education-related (study-related) immigration, as well as to define principal difficulties of foreign students in the period of adaptation in the territory of the RF. Getting in the process of the research data were used for elaboration of recommendations to improving of Russian state policy in the sphere of education-related (study-related) migration, that in succeeding future would assist not only in attracting of foreign students in the country, but also in growth of their will to stay there after the period of education.

Although Spondias mombin L. extract has an excellent antimicrobial effect against oral microorganisms, it should be clarified how it affects enamel surface properties. Aim: To evaluate the color change, wettability/contact angle, surface roughness and morphology of bovine enamel submitted to the Spondias mombin L. extract. Methods: Thirty bovine teeth were distributed into the following groups: 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate, 1:32 Spondias mombin L. extract and distilled water. Color change (CC) was evaluated after immerging specimens into the solutions for 14 days. Surface roughness (Ra) was measured using a roughness meter; wettability/contact angles (CA) were determined by the sessile drop method, and scanning electron microscopy images were obtained to characterize the morphology (SMA). The pH of the solutions was evaluated using a pHmeter. The Ra, CA, and CC data were parametric (Kolmogorov-Smirnov; p>0.05). Two-way ANOVA (for Ra and CA) and one-way ANOVA (for CC) with Tukey’s posthoc tests at a significance level of 5% were used. SMA was analyzed descriptively. Results: The Spondias mombin L. extract revealed an acidic pH, and when in contact with the bovine teeth, it increased the wettability, but it did not cause statistically significant differences in the Ra. Spondias mombin L. extract caused the highest color change. The SEM images showed differences in the specimens’ surface submitted to the extract compared to the other groups. Conclusion: Spondias mombin L. extract provided negative effects on bovine enamel’s surface, including a high color change and a more wettable substrate.
A performance como ética ecológica do enfrentamento
Authors: Muniz Levi Mota
Published: May 2021

Esse texto visa a debater as questões de gênero, existência, ética e criação a partir da iniciativa “Arqueologia do lixo”, programa de montação drag proposto por uma travesti não-binária. Utilizo-me das discussões de ética tecidas por Suely Rolnik (1990) em diálogo com Félix Guattari (1990). Busco entender como a performance age como um dispositivo para a afirmação de existências dissidentes e como o friccionar dos paradigmas éticos potencializa as ações performativas.

Learning through dance technique has the potential to transform the students, both in terms of their bodily capabilities and their sense of self in the world. By exploring the ‘how’ of dance pedagogy, this research study investigates dance technique learning through the accounts of undergraduate students and teacher/researcher reflexivity at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, London. The multi-layered experiences of seven participant students are centralized, bringing insight to the complex ways that transformation may be enabled in dance technique pedagogy. The theoretical perspectives of engaged pedagogy (hooks 1994) and care ethics (Noddings 2013) provide a framework through which participant student data are organized. Active participation, demonstration of care, and stimulating environments are discussed in terms of the nuance of experience for individual students. An interpretive phenomenological approach is used in this longitudinal study within which the teacher/researcher locates himself as subject and co-participant.
Ethics and performance
Authors: Midgelow Vida
Published: May 2021

Scenic practices have a profound power to transform individuals, communities and the world through the affections, images and ideas they evoke. However, as Fiona Bannon (2018) notes in her book on dance, collaboration and ethics: 'the way in which we achieve our transformative goals is as important as the resulting work that we can finally present' (BANNON, 2018, p. 129 ). In exercising these potentials, spectators and performers need to address the political-ethical issues that arise as an inherent part of creative processes and aesthetic experiences.

The chronology of formation of ammunition disposal with expired shelf life is considered. The characteristics of ammunition utilization technologies developed in Ukraine are given, their shortcomings are pointed out. Data on emissions of toxic compounds into the environment due to the implementation of domestic technologies are presented. There is a lack of state control over environmental pollution by toxic compounds during the disposal of various types of ammunition. At the same time, the problem of creating a charge from the PSU, which allows the disposal of ballistic checkers (BС) using them without prior grinding, while increasing the safety of loading. A method of forming a borehole charge of explosives from military ammunition for mass explosions by creating in the core of the well the transfer of detonation to each part of the charge, made of bundles of ballistic checkers, which will ensure the completeness of the initiation of the entire charge and thereby improve the quality of crushing rocks in the lower part of the ledge (sole), reduce the effects of seismic waves, especially on residential buildings, while disposing of ammunition. The developed technique of conducting mass explosions pursues two goals, one of which is aimed at preparing the rock mass for extraction at opencast mining with low-cost explosives, and the second, no less important, solves the problem of disposal of expired ammunition. It is clear that the third no less important goal is lined up for this technology - to provide the technology of economically attractive utilization of BP with new environmentally efficient technological solutions.
