Authors: Muda Iskandar , Widyanto Bambang
Published: November 2024

This paper presents the findings of a corrosion erosion failure analysis of elbow pipe materials used to flow high-pressure water from underground. The failed elbow pipe material was above the wellhead forming a straight line in the longitudinal direction with a pipe length of 6200 feet below the ground surface. The working fluid in the elbow pipe was 25 % steam and 75 % water, flowing in the elbow pipe with a media flow rate of 180 tons per hour, a pressure of 22 bar, and a temperature of 220 °C. Elbow tubes were made of low carbon steel with Standard ASTM A234 having an outer diameter of 304.8 mm and a wall thickness of 9.271 mm. Macroscopic testing, chemical composition analysis, metallographic testing, hardness testing, X-ray diffraction testing, SEM, and EDS are a few of the test types conducted. The study's findings showed that the elbow tubes experienced a thinning process on the inner wall of the outer curvature side with a rough and wavy surface texture or appearance. This type of failure is known as erosion-corrosion. The level of erosion-corrosion failure that occurs is greatly influenced by the pH of the fluid being flowed reaching 2.67–2.91, this is due to the very high Cl- of 1290 ppm, so the higher the rate of erosion-corrosion that occurs. These materials are the most popular and widely used in the oil and gas sector. However, this pipe has weaknesses because it is susceptible to erosion-corrosion Therefore, it is very important to choose the right material, namely, a material that is resistant to erosion-corrosion

Published: November 2024

The subject of this study is the processes of assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of immersive technologies in the systems of sustainable development at universities. The problem that determined the purpose of the work is the lack of methodological tools for assessing the level of efficiency in the implementation of immersive technologies on the basis of sustainable development (using an example of Lviv Polytechnic National University). The authors’ toolkit includes a system of indicators, a methodological approach to the use of software for their evaluation, and a matrix for interpreting the results. The choice of the efficiency assessment method is based on the theory of fuzzy sets. The study of the factors influencing the effectiveness of the implementation of immersive technologies in the educational process has made it possible to form a system of integrated indicators, including indicators designed to comprehensively identify its level in the student and teaching environments. The indicator of effectiveness of immersive technologies implemented by students contributes to a thorough analysis of their ability to generate innovations based on such technologies. This indicator allows lecturers to determine the level of effectiveness of the use of immersive technologies in teaching. Taking into account the ideology embedded in the sustainable development systems of universities, the authors' indicators reflect the principles of sustainability. The GE/McKinsey matrix was adapted for the purpose of economic interpretation of mathematical results. The designed methodological tools were tested for courses at the Lviv Polytechnic. The following levels of student performance were obtained: 83.5, 61.5, and 69.8 units, lecturers – 91.2, 78.4, and 82.7 units, which indicates the productivity of lecturer training and a high level of students' understanding of project work tasks. This proved the validity and possibility of using the tools in university practice

Published: November 2024

The paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of the main “eco-friendly” ratings of Russian million-plus cities in 2022. The purpose of the study is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of various ratings used to assess the level of eco-friendliness of cities and the quality of the urban environment. Comparative and contextual analyses were used as the main methodological approach. The study was conducted taking into account the difference in the frequency of rating calculations (annual and periodic), methodological differences in the formation of final rating indicators and the form of their presentation (quantitative and qualitative ones), in various sets of initial indicators for assessment and calculations, as well as differences in methods of calculation of intermediate and final results. A significant difference was established in the methods for ratings’ calculations of the “eco-friendliness” of cities and the quality of urban environment, including when calculating the easiest indicator to calculate, i.e., the share of green territory in the city area. The values of this indicator turned out to be different according to different methods. This leads to significant discrepancies between the rating positions of many cities, obtained using different techniques. At the same time, several million-plus cities were identified whose rating positions are close to each other in all ratings. These are: Perm, Ufa, Omsk, Samara, Volgograd, Chelyabinsk, and Krasnoyarsk. The presence of close values obtained using various methods indicates a certain level of reliability of the calculations and their practical applicability for the development of policies and measures in the fields of ecology and management of the water-green framework of cities, the formation of green infrastructure in cities, and the improvement of the quality of life for people living in urbanized and industrialized areas.

Authors:   Volgograd State University, Kiselev Mikhail
Published: November 2024

The study of the level of development of a region is an important tool for comprehension and analysis of the characteristics and trends in the formation of a certain territory from the point of view of the economy. The old industrial regions in southern Russia, such as the Rostov, Volgograd, and Astrakhan regions, play a crucial role in national economic formation. They have a rich history of industrial development and underwent significant transformation during the transition from a Soviet-era industrial structure to a modern, diversified economic system. This circumstance determined the purpose of the article, which is the analysis of key economic indicators of the regions of the south of the country classified as old industrial ones, reflecting the level of their development. The article uses a variety of methods to analyze key economic indicators in these regions, including systematic, economic, statistical, comparative, and retrospective analysis. A study of various economic indicators in the region, including gross regional product, industrial production, retail trade turnover, and agricultural production, was conducted. This made it possible to assess the situation in different regions based on their main industries. The authors offer an algorithm for the calculation of a regional development assessment index that includes economic, social, demographic, and innovative components. It helps understand the overall condition of a region and its potential. The algorithm can be adjusted according to the research objectives. The obtained results and recommendations can be applied to develop an effective development strategy and a set of measures to improve regional policy, which, in turn, can lead to an improvement in the economic condition of old industrial regions, strengthening their positions in the national economic system.

Authors:   Southern Federal University, Chernova Olga
Published: November 2024

In modern socio-economic and environmental challenges, the sustainable development of regional water management systems must be carried out within the framework of a circular paradigm. However, not all circular approaches are sustainable. Therefore, implementing circular business models should be carried out on the principles of industrial symbiosis. The possibilities of achieving the synergistic effects of the circular economy increase significantly by implementing the water-energy-food relationship. The article substantiates the possibilities and prospects for the development of water management in the Rostov region based on intersectoral interactions between the water, energy, and food sectors of the economy. The prerequisites for the implementation of industrial symbiosis relations in the Rostov region were identified. Possible options for implementing industrial symbiosis relations, which showed good results, are proposed. The characteristics of the main processes implemented by the hydraulic system of the region to achieve sustainable development goals are given. The conclusions about the need for state institutional and infrastructural support for the development of the circular economy are drawn. The novelty of the results is that they go beyond the framework of the circular economy and represent a more holistic vision of the prospects for the development of regional water management. The conclusions can be used in regional management when adopting and developing a strategy for the development of regional water management.

Published: November 2024

For the moment, the Russian Federation is suffering from the sanctions imposed on the country. They changed the business environment for Russian enterprises. That’s why it is important to conduct a study to help determine the priority areas for improving government support for small and medium-sized businesses in the Volgograd region. The authors set the goal of analyzing government support measures for small and medium-sized businesses in the Volgograd region provided by the regional government under sanctions pressure, as well as developing suggestions for their improvement. When writing the article, the following scientific research methods were used: statistical, graphical, tabular, and analytical ones. An analysis of government support measures for small and medium-sized businesses in the Volgograd region under sanctions pressure is presented in the article. The typical problems are connected with the lack of working capital and investments necessary for sustainable development. The problems also consist of a reduction in demand for goods and services due to a fall in real incomes, rising prices, and shortages of materials, components, and raw materials. The steps are identified as the main measures of government support; their realization will contribute to the appearance of conditions for the sustainable development of small and medium-sized businesses suffering from sanctions. These steps are as follows: the first is a preliminary discussion of measures that are meant to support SMEs with their participation. This condition should be approved by law. Then comes the development of the logistics chains of business entities and the creation of comprehensive conditions for the development of SMEs. The business condition of SMEs must be controlled constantly for the identification of government support measures that would give the highest efficiency. The government support for small and medium-sized businesses should comply with the basic principles of organizational and legal regulation for this type of firm.

The purpose of the article is to study the prerequisites, prospects, and threats of introducing the central bank digital currency (CBDC) as the third form of national currency. The article examines the concept of digital currency as an integral element of the new financial system and a tool capable of solving its problems by reducing the chain of interaction between the sender of transactions and the recipient, which will make payments safer, faster, transparent, and cheaper. Within the framework of the conducted research, the following results were obtained: 1) the differences between digital currencies, cryptocurrencies, and fiat money were identified and clearly outlined; 2) the experience of foreign countries in the development of the central bank’s digital currency was studied, and the main fundamental differences in the technologies of wholesale and retail digital currencies were described, as well as the possibilities of their implementation; 3) the architecture of the digital ruble was analyzed and the selected two-level retail model was evaluated, on the basis of which the domestic central bank’s digital currency technology was implemented; problem areas of the selected architecture were identified and defined as the vector of its development; 4) prospects for the development and introduction of supranational and international digital currencies were identified, and a model of a single digital currency, “BRICS Pay,” was proposed. The study showed that the economic efficiency of the digital ruble for business as a technology capable of decreasing costs by reducing the number of financial intermediaries in the transaction chain and lowering fees is indisputable, and the digital ruble itself is a logical stage in the evolution of payment and financial systems. The economic feasibility of the digital ruble’s introduction for the country’s economy is more fundamental and consists in the reduction of the level of the shadow sector, the autonomy and independence of the financial system, simplifying cross-border settlements, and overcoming sanctions restrictions.

In the context of digital transformation in economic development, the attention of business entities is largely focused on the processes of exchanging knowledge, skills, and experience between market participants, while the priority is not the production technologies themselves but the processes of managing them. This task of developing information and communication infrastructures has been successfully solved with the help of digital platforms and digital ecosystems created both in business structures and in the fields of public and municipal administration. Multifunctional digital platforms with a complex system of interactions between their various participants, which combine several types of operational activities (development, manufacture of products, including complementary ones, bringing platform products to the consumer, etc.), are the most effective since they form the processes of sharing company assets and joint value creation. Functional differences between commercial and government digital platforms were shown, as were problems arising in this regard in their interaction in the digital environment and ways to solve them. The analysis of the practical use of digital platforms created with government participation, as exemplified by the ecosystems of PJSC Sberbank and PJSC Gazprom, is carried out. During the development of new digital platforms, oligopolistic competition arises in business, which results in the monopolization of network effects and pricing policies by the creators of the platforms. Interaction in the field of digital business between commercial and government structures makes it possible to coordinate these processes and regulate macroeconomic proportions across the country as a whole. The possible effects of the implementation of commercial digital platforms in public administration functions are determined, and the interdependencies of public and private platforms and ecosystems formed on their basis are established. The possible effects of interaction between the state and business in the course of the development of new digital platform solutions and the prospects and advantages of their joint use are revealed. The interaction of the government and business in the course of the development of new digital platform solutions allows for the growth of citizens’ solvency and creates conditions for the growth of the public product of the state as a whole. The growth of public value from the introduction of government digital platforms is essential, as is their interaction with commercial digital platforms.

Published: November 2024

The purpose of the article is to use the resulting approach to measure the financial potential of agricultural businesses in the Republic of Belarus. The study analyzed the share of food products in foreign trade, food products exports, the production capacity of food products industrial organizations, and the share of food products exports in the total volume of their production. The study defined that the production capacity of food industrial organizations in the regions bordering the Russian Federation (Vitebsk region, Mogilev region, Gomel region) for food products is not fully used. There is potential to increase food production and export it to the Russian Federation. The financial potential for increasing production and export of food products in the regions has been calculated with the resulting approach. The estimated financial potential for increasing meat exports by increasing the level of food production capacity is 218.92 million USD in the Vitebsk region, 312.52 USD million in the Gomel region, and 128.44 USD million in the Mogilev region. Active trade relations between the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation laid the foundations for integration and development in the agricultural sector. The following suggestions for realization of financial potential in the regions are outlined and characterized: cooperation of agricultural business entities in the regions in various forms; regional diversification and integration of regional agricultural business entities; production cooperation of regions within the framework of foreign trade of agricultural products and food among EAEU member states and with third countries.

Authors: DOS SANTOS Fabrícia Paola Fernandes Ribeiro , DO NASCIMENTO Débora Dupas Gonçalves , CUNHA Inara Pereira da
Published: November 2024

Abstract Introduction Adverse events (AE) are injuries or harm not related to the natural progression of the disease but that result in harm to patients. In healthcare institutions, the adoption of a patient safety culture can reduce the occurrence of AE. Objective To identify the frequency of AE reported by dentists in primary dental care and analyze the dimensions of patient safety culture (PSC) associated with this outcome. Material and method This cross-sectional study was conducted in two Brazilian states in 2021. A total of 350 dentists working in primary dental care participated in the study. The outcome (AE) was measured using a semi-structured questionnaire, which was tested through a pilot study. Independent variables were collected through sociodemographic questionnaires and the validated Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture instrument, which measures dimensions of PSC. Poisson regression analysis was used. Result The most reported event was: "The patient required an urgent return visit due to pain, swelling, or other reasons" after a clinical intervention (60.6%). The dimensions of PSC related to AE were "Overall perception of patient safety and quality" (PR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.76-0.89), "Work processes and standardization" (PR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.78-0.92), and "Teamwork" (PR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.03-1.73). Conclusion Adverse events are frequent in primary dental care practice and are associated with dimensions of patient safety culture. This reinforces the need to expand knowledge about this topic and implement barriers to prevent harm to patients during dental care at this level of health care.

Published: November 2024

Abstract The inclusion of substances with antioxidant properties in the diet of broiler breeders helps the enzymatic defense system in controlling the damage caused by free radicals in cells, for example, rooster spermatozoa. It is therefore hypothesized that supplementing broilers with canthaxanthin may have a positive effect on the reproductive system of broilers. The objective of this research was to study the action of the addition of canthaxanthin in the diet of broiler breeders on the fertilization and hatching rates of eggs and on the fertility of roosters. For the experiment, hens and roosters received, from 22 weeks of age, feed with and without supplementation of 6 ppm of canthaxanthin. Roosters between 30 and 50 weeks of age that received canthaxanthin in the diet showed less alterations in chromatin over the weeks of life. There were no differences between measurements of seminiferous tubules in different treatments. Canthaxanthin-supplemented broiler breeders had the highest rate of perforation of sperm in the perivitelline membrane, the best hatching rate and the highest fertility rate. It was concluded that the use of canthaxanthin as an antioxidant agent in the diet of broiler breeders improves reproductive efficiency.

Published: November 2024

Abstract Amphibians are among the most threatened animal groups on Earth, with anurans representing the most prevalent order within this group. Globally, emerging infectious diseases are linked to the decline of amphibian populations, a phenomenon also observed in northeastern Brazil. In particular, the state of Ceará boasts a rich and abundant anurofauna, with nearly 5% of its species considered critically endangered. Despite numerous pathologies observed in local anurans through research projects, published cases remain scarce. This study aimed to compile pathological and incidental findings in native anurans from Ceará State, Northeastern Brazil. Data were derived from necropsies and clinical examinations conducted on 38 specimens across 13 species from 13 sites, spanning from 2010 to 2022. Most lesions (71 %, n = 38) indicated inflammatory pathophysiology, with observations of parasitic infections and agents within lesions, granulomatous or necrotic lesions with intracytoplasmic inclusions consistent with Mycobacteria ana Ranavirus infections, respectively. Fibrolipomas and hepatocellular carcinoma presented as single solid nodules, the latter associated with cystic helminth infections. Diffuse hepatic calcinosis suggested a toxic/metabolic etiology. Bilateral cataract was the most common ocular alteration (60%, n=5), though its etiology remained undetermined. The presence of infectious diseases was confirmed, and further etiological diagnostics are necessary. The lack of specific etiological techniques constrained some definitive diagnoses. These findings place Ceará on the distribution map for significant diseases affecting anurofauna, underscoring the need for ongoing monitoring.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT The production of microgreens in plant factories is a great option for urban agriculture, and artificial light is one of the main factors for the success of this cultivation system. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) (100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 μmol m−2 s−1) of white LED on yield and quality of arugula microgreens. The experiment was conducted in an indoor environment, in a completely randomized experimental design, with six replicates. The highest yield was obtained with 358 μmol m−2 s−1, while 90 % of the maximum yield required 234 μmol m−2 s−1. The maximum shoot dry mass and cotyledon area were obtained with 439 and 312 μmol m−2 s−1, respectively, while the hypocotyl length decreased linearly with increasing PPFD. The highest nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur and zinc contents were obtained with 380, 285, 326, 294 and 317 μmol m−2 s−1, respectively, while the maximum Fe content was obtained at the lowest light intensity. The contents of chlorophylls, carotenoids, phenolic compounds and antioxidant protection had maximum values with 600 μmol m−2 s−1, and the vitamin C with 458 μmol m−2 s−1.

Resumo Nesse artigo, nós interrogamos o mito da homogeneidade ontológica da medicina ocidental, calcada na biologia, quando se trata de cuidados em saúde com uma população inventada como LGBT. Por outra via, nós sinalizamos para uma heterogeneidade discursiva constitutiva do próprio campo da medicina a partir de um exercício de conectar entrevistas realizadas com médicos/as na cidade de Aracaju, Sergipe, e linhas de força do trabalho de Michel Foucault. O argumento aponta para como deslocamentos biopolíticos em curso implicam fraturas, contingências e ambivalências do aparato médico. Dois modos suplementares de “fazer” a “população LGBT” são, assim, explorados: a vigilância moral diante dos preconceitos e a naturalização das condutas sexuais via genética, algo que não se faz sem ter que acertar as contas com as normas de gênero. De tal modo, evidenciamos o quanto a medicina se configura em um campo de multiplicidades heterogêneas, e, portanto, não é tão biomédica assim, como ela faz questão de anunciar.

Resumo Este artigo objetiva conhecer as experiências vivenciadas pelas mulheres durante o atendimento ao parto e nascimento em tempos de pandemia da COVID-19, com foco no acompanhante. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória. Foram entrevistadas dez mulheres que pariram entre março de 2020 e agosto de 2021 no município de Porto Alegre, RS. A análise de dados teve fundamento na análise temática de Bardin. Os resultados apontam que o acompanhante, mesmo garantido por lei, não foi permitido em alguns casos, configurando-se uma violência obstétrica. As entrevistadas que estiveram desacompanhadas relataram sentimentos como tristeza e solidão, além de condutas profissionais não baseadas em evidências. A pandemia proporcionou insegurança para as parturientes e a figura do acompanhante foi um fator importante que definiu se as experiências dessas mulheres foram positivas ou negativas.

Resumo Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar e discutir os dados sobre o estudo das representações de zoomorfos nos sítios com registros rupestres do estado de São Paulo. Conhecido por pesquisas arqueológicas voltadas a sambaquis e a materiais líticos, o estado de São Paulo apresenta poucos trabalhos em temáticas sobre pinturas e gravuras rupestres. Nos últimos anos, porém, vem crescendo o número de descobertas e de estudos baseados em sítios nessa temática. Com o objetivo de identificar similaridades e diferenças gráficas entre as figuras com características zoomórficas, a presente pesquisa partiu da análise da técnica, temática e cenografia dos painéis rupestres dos 55 sítios identificados no estado. Os resultados destacam um pequeno quantitativo dessas representações, em cenários pintados e gravados, com apenas 22 figuras, destacadas em nove sítios. Estão morfologicamente identificadas como cervídeos, aves, répteis e crustáceos, caracterizando-se por realizações gráficas isoladas em painéis, dominantemente marcados por representações não figurativas. Os animais representados destacam-se pelo pouco dinamismo e pelo escasso detalhamento anatômico. As figuras possuem um caráter hermético marcado.

Resumo Introdução Exercer a função de cuidador de pessoas idosas institucionalizadas tem demonstrado suscetibilidade ao estresse, que de forma crônica e adaptativa pode levar à síndrome de Burnout. Nesse contexto, estratégias de coping podem atenuar ou retardar o impacto negativo de fatores organizacionais. Objetivos Avaliar a percepção de estresse, síndrome de Burnout e estratégias de enfrentamento em cuidadores formais de pessoas idosas institucionalizadas e verificar como se correlacionam. Método Estudo transversal conduzido com 54 profissionais que desempenham atividades de cuidado a pessoas idosas residentes em três instituições de longa permanência. Foi utilizado um questionário de caracterização sociodemográfica, laboral e de saúde; a Escala de Estresse Percebido; o Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS); e a Escala de Coping Ocupacional. A correlação entre os valores obtidos pelos instrumentos foi verificada utilizando o método estatístico LOESS. Todos os preceitos éticos foram seguidos. Resultados Houve predomínio de participantes do sexo feminino, com idade entre 36 e 51 anos, ensino médio concluído, casados(as) e com filho(s), com renda familiar mensal entre 1 e 3 salários-mínimos. A análise estatística revelou uma correlação significativa entre a percepção de estresse e síndrome de Burnout, além de uma tendência em que maiores níveis de estratégias de enfrentamento exercem uma correlação negativa sobre a percepção de estresse, independentemente da síndrome. Conclusão O rastreio do estresse e da síndrome de Burnout em profissionais que exercem cuidado a pessoas idosas institucionalizadas é importante para implementar ações preventivas destinadas a essa população, podendo mitigar distúrbios de natureza física, emocional e psicológica.

Método: Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo transversal de 69 trabajadores de la salud de una Unidad de Tratamiento del Síndrome Respiratorio Agudo Severo en Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. Los datos fueron recolectados entre abril y mayo de 2022, utilizando un cuestionario sociodemográfico y profesional y Escalas de Motivación y Satisfacción en el Trabajo. Variables categóricas representadas por frecuencias absolutas y relativas, numéricas por media, desvío estándar, mediana y rango intercuartil. Resultados: Las variables “Porque me gusta mucho este trabajo” (5,5), “Porque este trabajo encaja con mis valores personales” (5,16) y “Porque mi trabajo es mi vida y no quiero fracasar” (4,25) obtuvieron las puntuaciones medias más altas de motivación. Hubo acuerdo en la satisfacción laboral (4,07) y en no querer otro trabajo (2,6). Conclusión: Han aumentado los conocimientos sobre la vida organizativa cotidiana en los servicios sanitarios, lo que permite planificar acciones que repercuten en las condiciones de trabajo.
