The article also conducted an experiment demonstrating that, in addition to the effectiveness of interfaces, the workload of workability and monotony, as well as user fatigue, affect the performance of program users.
State of exception, neoliberalism, and militarization of public security in Brazil
Authors: Souza Luís Antônio Francisco de , Serra Carlos Henrique de Aguiar , Soares Sílvio de Azevedo , Valério Raphael Guazzelli
Published: October 2024

Brazil has historically employed a militarized strategy for public security, using violence as a means of social control over subordinate groups and repressing social and labor movements. The involvement of military personnel and state police in justice administration and politics reflects a distortion within the Brazilian state, which the 1988 Federal Constitution did not alleviate. Instead, since re-democratization, militarization has shifted from being an extraordinary measure to becoming the norm, representing an expansion of the state of exception. This trend has culminated in the military’s return to the political scene and the presidency. This article examines the complex relationship between the militarization of public security and the recent trend of radicalization in far-right political positions. The analysis centers on the theoretical debate regarding the relationship between a state of exception and neoliberalism. The research hypothesis posits a convergence between the militarization of politics, a state of exception, and state violence, which collectively impose limits on the rights enshrined in the country’s legal system.
“Quiero ser negro”: identidade negra da perspectiva do ser e do parecer
Authors: Hatolong-Boho Zacharie
Published: October 2024

“Quiero ser negro” is an act of will or a project, the trajectory from one identity (A) towards another (B). As a discourse, it's the personal narrative of two young Spaniards aspiring to blackness. It also appears as a self-fiction focused on identity tourism or the process of psychological alienation, rooted in social subjectivities. Therefore, the ontological nature of identity doesn't exclude mutations, nor does it escape the construction process, essentially being a continuum.

The mathematical model for the optimization of compressive strength of sawdust ash geopolymer concrete
Authors: Gift Osere , Temple Prof. Nwofor , Samuel Dr. Sule
Published: October 2024

Geopolymer concrete offers an eco-friendlier option compared to traditional cement, as it lowers greenhouse gas emissions during production. It consists of an alkaline solution with sodium or potassium silicate and sodium or potassium hydroxide, as well as a source material abundant in silica and alumina. For this study, thirty geopolymer concrete samples were produced in the lab using a mix design approach from Scheffe’s (5,2) model. The focus of the research was on maximizing the compressive strength of the concrete, especially when incorporating sawdust ash as the source material. The findings indicated that subjecting sawdust ash to pyrolysis in the absence of oxygen significantly impacts its pozzolanic properties and, consequently, the characteristics of the concrete. The research determined the optimal compressive strength of geopolymer concrete incorporating sawdust ash to be 21.673 MPa, along with specific concentration ratios of NaOH, Na2SiO4 to NaOH, sawdust ash in the binder, water to binder, and activator to sawdust ash at 10.5415, 2.0446, 38.6307, 0.0363, and 2.5882 respectively. Furthermore, MATLAB-based computer programs were utilized to optimize and forecast the ideal mixture proportions for sawdust ash-based geopolymer concrete.

Authors: Ferreira Rodríguez Ma. Salud , Silva de Dienheim Rodolfo , De Dienheim Barriguete Perla Jacaranda
Published: October 2024

La violencia obstétrica es un grave problema de salud pública, donde las mujeres pueden sufrir prácticas violentas durante consultas médicas o el parto, incluyendo actos inapropiados o no consentidos. Esto vulnera sus derechos reproductivos y sexuales. Es crucial entender los Derechos Humanos, especialmente la autonomía, para abordar este problema. Los derechos sexuales permiten vivir la sexualidad sin violencia, y los reproductivos incluyen decidir sobre la procreación. Los sistemas judiciales deben reconocer la violencia obstétrica como una violación de los derechos humanos y proteger a las personas embarazadas en todas las etapas del embarazo, parto y posparto.
Gingivitis y periodontitis. ¡No te quedes sin dientes!
Authors: Rodríguez Orozco Alain Raimundo , Cruz Velasquez Tomas
Published: October 2024

Las enfermedades de las encías que son causadas por la acumulación de placa dental, conocidas como gingivitis y periodontitis, afectan las estructuras que sostienen los dientes, como la encía y el hueso. La gingivitis inducida por placa dental (por bacterias) es la forma más leve de enfermedad de la encía y se puede encontrar en hasta el 90% de la población. Se trata de una respuesta inflamatoria de los tejidos de la encía resultante de la acumulación de bacterias nocivas ubicadas en la superficie y debajo de la encía. Aunque la gingivitis en sí no causa directamente la pérdida de dientes, su control es una estrategia preventiva fundamental para evitar la progresión a la periodontitis. Si la gingivitis no se trata adecuadamente, puede evolucionar a periodontitis, una enfermedad crónica que causa destrucción progresiva del hueso que sostiene los dientes, lo que puede llevar a la caída de múltiples dientes. La pérdida de dientes afecta la función masticatoria, dificultando la masticación de ciertos alimentos, afecta la forma de hablar y aumenta el riesgo de problemas dentales y de las encías. En el presente artículo platicaremos acerca de cómo se desarrollan estas enfermedades de la encía, como detectarlas y tratarlas. También analizaremos las prácticas de higiene bucal que son esenciales para prevenir tanto la gingivitis como la periodontitis, y cómo se puede reducir el riesgo de pérdida de dientes mediante una intervención temprana y un cuidado dental adecuado.

Increasing the Growth of Bridal Tears Flower Stem Cuttings (Antigonon leptopus) by providing Plant Growth Regulators and Planting Media
Authors: Febrianto Eka Bobby , Nora Silvia , Yosephine Ingrid Ovie , Pratama Teguh
Published: October 2024

It is imperative to implement integrated control measures for Oil Palm Leaf-Eating Caterpillars (UPDKS), as continual chemical management can result in pest resistance and environmental degradation. Utilizing natural enemies for biological control involves the utilization of predators, pest-consuming animals, as well as parasites or bacteria with pathogenic properties against pests. Examples of predators, including Sycanus leucomesus and Eocanthecona furcellata, egg parasitoids, such as Trichogrammatidea thoseae, and larval parasites, such as Chaetexorista javana, are a few of the many types of organisms that can have an impact on the populations of their prey. These indigenous predators sustain themselves by feeding on host plants within their natural habitat. The bridal tears flower (Antigonon leptopus) is considered to be one of the host plants. Thus, it is imperative to promote the growth of Antigonon leptopus in order to provide a habitat for the natural predators of the UPDKS pest. The objective of this research was to identify the components of the planting medium and to establish the most effective concentration of growth regulators for propagating bridal tears stem cuttings (Antigonon leptopus). The research was conducted at the Indonesian Palm Oil Technology Institute (ITSI) Practice Garden in Medan, North Sumatra. The research was conducted over three months, from February to April 2024. The Factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) method was employed, with the first factor, namely S (Planting Media), comprising three levels: Top Soil without solid, Top Soil with 20% Solid, and Top Soil with 40% Solid. The second factor, namely Plant Growth Regulators, was also treated with three levels: without plant growth regulators, concentration of 100 Mg/l, and concentration of 200 Mg/l. Thus, the study comprises nine treatment combinations, each with four replications. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) table is employed to assess the significance of the observed differences, with the Duncan multiple range test (DMRT) conducted at a 5% level of significance when warranted.The findings from the research indicated that the manipulation of the planting medium composition (S) had a notable impact on the number of leaves, number of roots, and fresh weight of the roots. Additionally, it was found to have a highly significant influence on the height of the shoots. The optimal composition of the planting medium was identified as S2. The manipulation of growth regulators (R) concentration had a notable impact on shoot height and root fresh weight, as well as a highly significant effect on the number of leaves and roots. R2 exhibited the most optimal concentration of growth regulators. The growth of Antigonon leptopus stem cuttings was not affected by the combination of planting medium composition (S) and growth regulator concentration (R) in a non-interacting manner.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FDI AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN INDIA. A TIME SERIES APPROACH
Authors: Dr. Shanta Rani Kerketta
Published: October 2024

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has gained importance after the second world war. In broader sense Foreign Direct Investment incorporates the establishment of up to date and advanced facilities, mergers and acquisitions, investing the profits earned from other overseas business activities, providing loans to other companies etc. In narrow sense the Foreign Direct Investment means investment in the country other than the investors own country.
FDI can be better understood by studying the real reason that why the companies have shown interest in investing abroad rather than exporting and outsourcing their products to domestic firms.
In due course of time many theories and approaches were developed to explain FDI. Although several researchers have tried to explain the phenomenon of FDI, we cannot say there is a generally accepted theory, every new evidence added some new elements and criticism to the previous ones.
FDI in India is playing a noticeable role in the growth and development of the country. India is one of the important countries of the world which is able to receive substantial amount of FDI.
The present study has made an effort to see the relationship between the FDI and Economic growth in India. GDP has proxies for economic growth. First the Johansen cointegration test result shows the long run relationship between variables and the Granger causality test result exhibits that there is unidirectional Granger causality between FDI and GDP. Next the Multiple Regression model result presents that the estimated coefficients on FDI & exports have a positive relationship with GDP. Therefore, it is statistically revealed that FDI and Exports are instrumental in influencing the level of economic growth in India.
India is having certain drawbacks like Weak infrastructure, Complicated tax structure, Restrictive labor laws, Bureaucracy and Corruption. Unless and until these challenges are met with, India will never compete with China regarding FDI inflows.

Authors: - Gokul Ramadoss
Published: October 2024

The covid 19 pandemic has significantly affected the international classification of disease causing a rapid adaptation to conquer the upcoming health challenges. It is a global standard for reporting diseases and health conditions, that is maintained by the World Health Organization, the ICD. An urgent announcement of specified ICD codes like U07.1 for the exact number of cases and U07.2 for the clinical data were made during the COVID-19 in order to track the accurate number of viruses throughout the world. For effective health interventions and international comparison this standardization was very important. Inorder to track the numbers and effects of the disease a new code was introduced post-COVID-19 syndrome (U09.9), that played a very important role. These changes improved the management of patients and also helped in research. But the lack of health data reporting and the number of health systems that support the ICD updates were also noticed in the pandemic. This is the only reason to have a perfect and efficient infrastructure for the health information and the changes that were made in the ICD was done globally. The improving of the infrastructure is the one of the most important part in the innovation of ICD and other systems that are related to global health sector. One thing that should be kept in mind is to keep the system updated. This shows the reason why to invest in the health information infrastructure, it is to achieve efficiency and accuracy in all data reporting.

Centrifugal pumps in oil production (problems and solutions)
Authors:   Ufa University of Science and Technology (Russian Federation), Gareyev A.A.
Published: October 2024

The current stage of development of the oil industry is everywhere characterized by the rapid development of technology, but the technology used for selecting installations of electric centrifugal pumps, starting and regulating technological operating modes has lagged behind in its development. The lag in the theory of operating technology for centrifugal pumps when pumping multiphase mixtures under high pressure is currently a brake on the further development of the method and reduces economic efficiency. Based on the existing knowledge of oil production technology, it is not possible to explain the observed failures of electric centrifugal pump installations due to a decrease in the electrical resistance of the cable-motor system. Moreover, quantitatively, failures due to a decrease in the electrical resistance of the cable-motor system are surprisingly constant, accounting for one third of all failures. Attempts to explain the strength of the current electric current through the electric motor lead to a paradox – if the installation fails due to “R= 0”, the strength of the current current is minimal (but not maximum). The existing science of operation technology cannot explain the phenomenon of salt deposition in centrifugal pump apparatuses, it is impossible to explain the effect of frequency changes on the technological mode of operation, etc. To date, there is no consensus on the issue of gas separation from oil, some believe that gas is released under the influence of devices, equipment, etc. mounted in the well. The lack of adequate technology for operating centrifugal pumps forces scientific engineers to look for solutions to problems in the wrong direction – for example, the deposition of salts in the pump apparatus through the selection and use of chemical reagents or acids (about 10 % of all failures of centrifugal pumps), the phenomenon of reducing the electrical resistance of the cable system. submersible electric motor” – using a temperature-resistant cable line (30 % of all failures), etc. Moreover, no one can give a clear interpretation of the use of “periodic operating mode”, for what purpose can control stations with frequency control of the performance of a centrifugal pump be used. Finally, the lack of a modern theory of technology does not allow automating the processes of starting up, putting it into operation, establishing a periodic mode, applying frequency regulation and automatically monitoring the technological process.

The article is devoted to the study of phenol cycloalkylation reactions 1-methylcyclopentene in a in periodical action installation in the presence of zeolite-containing catalyst KN-30 and acylation reactions of obtained p-(1-methylcyclopentyl)phenol with acetyl and benzoyl chlorides in the presence of a ZnCl2 catalyst. First of all, the influence kinetic parameters (temperature, time, molar ratios starting components, the amount of catalyst) on the yield and selectivity reactions of cycloalkylation of phenol with 1-methylcyclopentene in the presence of catalyst KN-30 was investigated. In the found optimal conditions for the cycloalkylation reaction: temperature – 110 оС, time – 5 hours, molar ratio of phenol to MCF 1:1, amount of catalyst 12 %, yield of the target product – p-(1-methylcyclopentyl)phenol is 77.3 % (based on phenol), the selectivity of the target product is 92.6 %. Acylation reactions of the obtained p-(1-methylcyclopentyl)phenol with acetyl- and benzoyl chlorides were performed in the presence of anhydrous catalyst ZnCl2. In order to obtain effective conditions for acylation reactions, the influence of the reaction temperature, duration, and molar ratio of the starting components on the yield and selectivity of methylcyclopentylaceto- and benzophenones was studied. As a result, it was found that for acylation reactions of p-(1-methylcyclopentyl)phenol with acetyl and benzoyl chloride in the presence of a ZnCl2 catalyst, the reaction temperature is 140–150 оC, the duration should be 35–40 minutes, and the molar ratio phenol AC(BC) should be 1:2. Under these conditions, the yield of target products is 57.2–61.7 % (based on the taken alkylphenol).

The interaction of soybean oil triglycerides with hexamethylenediamine resulted in a nonionic surfactant – hexamethyleneamide of a mixture of soybean oil acids, which was then modified using alkyl dihalides (1,2-dibromoethane, 1,3-dibromopropane, and 1,5-dibromopentane). These reactions synthesized ionic surfactants. The composition and structure of the resulting amidoamine and its modifications with alkyl dihalides were identified using infrared spectroscopy. The obtained products were characterized by key physicochemical parameters. Conductometric measurements of aqueous solutions of the obtained salts with varying concentrations were also performed. It was found that with increasing concentration, the specific conductivity value increases, and these values are significantly higher than the specific conductivity of distilled water, indicating the ionic structure of the obtained substances. Surface activity was measured with a tensiometer using the Du Nouy ring method at the air-water interface. According to the determined surface tension values, surface tension isotherms were constructed. The stabilization of surface tension values for the nonionic surfactant occurs at 35.2 mN/m, while for the ionic surfactants, it occurs at values of 34.2, 34.0, and 33.2 mN/m, respectively. The colloid-chemical properties of the synthesized surfactants were studied, their adsorption characteristics were experimentally determined, and the most important colloid-chemical parameters were calculated, such as the critical micelle concentration, surface tension, maximum adsorption, minimum cross-sectional area of the molecule, surface pressure, adsorption efficiency, and the change in Gibbs free energy of the micellization and adsorption processes. Under laboratory conditions, the relative oil-collecting and oil-dispersing abilities of the obtained products were investigated using thin films (thickness <1 mm) of Balakhani oil on the water surface with different levels of salinity (seawater, freshwater, and distilled water). The synthesized surfactants were used in undiluted form and as 5% aqueous solutions. It was found that in seawater, the maximum oil dispersion coefficient, which indicates the degree of cleaning the water surface, is 91.1%. It is worth noting that transitioning from nonionic to ionic surfactants increases the duration of the reagents’ action.

Published: October 2024

Isolation of zones of loss, tightening and collapse in the wellbore with ZITW (Zonal Isolation Technology in Wellbore) is mentioned in the article. The investigations were mainly about wellbore stability problems in Veryski, Bashgir, and Serpukhov horizons in Republic of Tatarstan. Wellbore issues regularly occur while drilling zones of loss and tightening. Therefore to proceed the drilling process these intervals have to be cemented or isolated with specially prepared casing called ZITW (Zonal Isolation Technology in Wellbore). Initially loss intervals should be clarified. After clarifying intervals of losses, underreaming of those intervals, running in hole of ZITW (Zonal Isolation Technology in Wellbore) and enlarging under pressure to isolate and measurement with caliper log, Gamma log and Neutron-Gamma log have been conducted. Finally, after isolating those intervals with ZITW (Zonal Isolation Technology in Wellbore) restoration of fluid circulation within the wellbore is 90–95 % provided and next drilling operations can be proceeded. Additionally, ZITW can be used to isolate the deformed and collapsed sections in the wellbore.
COMPOUNDING AS A WORD FORMATION PROCESS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK: STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PERSPECTIVES
Authors:   Namangan, Kosonsoy, school 9, Uzbekistan, qizi Ismoiljonova Nilufar Ergashali
Published: October 2024

Compounding is a fundamental word formation process that plays a significant role in the lexical development of both English and Uzbek. This article provides a comparative analysis of compounding in these two languages, focusing on both structural and functional perspectives. In English, compounds are formed by the combination of different parts of speech and often exhibit a flexible structure, with stress patterns distinguishing compounds from phrases. In contrast, Uzbek compounds predominantly follow noun-noun constructions and maintain a head-final structure, reflecting the agglutinative nature of the language. Functionally, compounding in both languages supports lexical innovation, semantic economy, and cultural expression. This study highlights the similarities and differences between English and Uzbek compounding, providing insights into how linguistic typology influences word formation processes.
