Itinerarios juveniles, individuación y reflexividades: aproximaciones a la participación social en barrios metropolitanos populares
Authors: Pinheiro Leandro R. , Di Leo Pablo Francisco , Varela Francisco Ramírez
Published: December 2023

Resumen En este artículo se presenta un análisis de itinerarios de individuación, en atención a las formas de participación y reflexividad de personas jóvenes que viven en barrios populares de tres áreas metropolitanas: Buenos Aires/Argentina, Porto Alegre/Brasil y Santiago/Chile. Para ello, se articulan resultados de diferentes estudios empíricos desarrollados entre 2013 y 2019, con herramientas conceptuales de la sociología del individuo de Danilo Martuccelli, especialmente las nociones de pruebas, soportes y texturas sociales. En primer lugar, se abordan los referentes teóricos utilizados para el despliegue del problema y las estrategias metodológicas utilizadas para la construcción y el análisis de las narrativas juveniles. Posteriormente, se realiza la interpretación del corpus de datos en torno a dos ejes centrales: a) territorios, actores e intermundos populares; b) jóvenes, participación social y reflexividades. Las personas jóvenes enfrentan, en diversos territorios populares, una pluralidad de coerciones materiales y simbólicas. Sin embargo, allí también traman espacios colectivos donde establecen identificaciones personales y grupales, cuando descubren o generan propuestas deportivas, artístico-políticas y educativas. En estas, producen vínculos intergeneracionales, recuperan saberes ancestrales y construyen marcos referenciales y reflexivos, volviendo la territorialidad un soporte y un signo de reconocimiento. En este sentido, el estudio de las narrativas juveniles constituye una herramienta privilegiada para el análisis de las agencias y las individualidades populares latinoamericanas.
Pharmaceutical In Situ Gel for Glaucoma: Recent Trends and Development with an Update on Research and Patents
Authors: Deshmukh Rohitas , Singh Rajesh , Mishra Sakshi
Published: December 2023

Glaucoma is a progressive visual polyneuropathy characterized by retinal ganglion cell atrophy and optic nerve head changes. It's generally triggered due to increased intraocular pressure compared with the healthy eye. Glaucoma is treated with various medications in traditional eye drops, such as prostaglandins, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, beta-blockers, and others. Such treatments are difficult to use and produce lachrymal leakage and inadequate corneal permeability, resulting in lower availability. Ophthalmic in situ gels, introduced in past decades with tremendous effort, are among the finest various choices to solve the drawbacks of eye drops. Employing different polymers with pH-triggered, temperature-triggered, and ion-activated processes have been used to generate ophthalmic in situ gelling treatments. Once those preparations are delivered into the eye, they change phase from sol to gel, allowing the medicine to stay in the eye for longer. These formulations are known as smart gels as they turn into gelling fluids when administered into the eyes. The different mechanisms of in situ gel formulations are used for the management of glaucoma and are discussed in this review article.

Abstract:the article is dedicated to the professional activities of the investigator. It assesses the professional, intellectual and volitional qualities of the investigator, their implementation in various situations. The author pays attention to the main problems taking place in this sphere. The article describes the means to fill the gaps in the training of the investigator. Among them, an important place is occupied by forensic algorithmization. The de-gree of informatization of the investigation is increased due to the need to strength the link between science and practice. Also, it is necessary to solve the problem of eliminating the gap between the practice of crime investigation with the digital component and the theory of criminalistics. Another task is to develop and integrate standardized criminalistics recommendations based on certain algorithm of investigator’s activities.The author considers the actual problems associated with forensic education in law schools: material and technical support of departments, personnel matters, the implementation of practical orientation in the training of students, the introduction of digital technologies in the educational process, the need to increase the hours of teaching criminalistics. Possible ways of solving the analyzed problems are proposed.
THE RECOVERY OF LOST PROFITS FROM A PUBLIC-LAW ENTITY
Authors:   Perm State University, Bogdanov A.V.
Published: December 2023

Abstract:cases on recovery of losses, and in particular the lost profit, are traditionally considered as one of the most difficult in the environment of practicing lawyers. And this is due not only to the complexity of the subject of proof in this category of cases, but also the theoretical complexity of the Institute of tort liability. Rather superficial legislative consolidation of the design of lost profits inevitably leads to problemsin law enforcement and the need for judicial interpretation of the provisions of the law. The article deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of recov-ery of lost profits arising from illegal actions (inaction) of state or municipal authorities. The question of the structure of the tort is raised.
ACTUAL BASIS OF PROPERTY RIGHT ABSOLUTENESS
Authors:   Ural State Law University, Karpov D. M.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: on the example of property relations, the peculiarities of the actual grounds of an absolute legal relationship are considered. It is indicated that, by virtue of publicity of the property relationship, the legal facts underlying it must be available for perception by all other persons. Possession and registration are considered as legal facts ensuring the publicity of property rights. The author points out that with respect to movables, the publicity of the right of ownership provides possession. It is noted that the provision of publicity of real rights to immovable things, by virtue of their essence, can be achieved only by registration, which is why it is necessary to ensure the absolute reliability of the register of rights to real estate.

Values as a Factor in Setting the Limits of Legal Regulation
Authors: Zaitseva Ekaterina
Published: December 2023

Knowledge of the sphere of legal regulation and its limits is impossible without analyzing the factors under the influence of which it is formed. Among the variety of factors, a special place is occupied by the axiological factor, which assumes that the scope of legal regulation is limited by values emanating from the legal traditions of society and the state and determining the vectors and strategies of legal development, for the maintenance of which they receive formal consolidation. The influence of values on the limits of the sphere and the subject of legal regulation is different. The sphere of legal regulation is formed under the influence of socio-cultural values, the origin of which is objective and collective. In turn, socio-cultural values determine the activities of the legislator, who consolidates his vision of the sphere of legal regulation as a subject of legal regulation, and gives them a legal character. At the same time, the formal consolidation of values is the result of his conceptual thinking and will. Due to the diversity of values, both within the framework of different sociocultural types of order, and within each of them, it becomes necessary to establish a certain hierarchy and priorities, which ultimately can determine this hierarchy. Both largely depend on the subjective perception and desire of the legislator, who, assessing the changing historical situation, fixes the subject of legal regulation, thereby determining its limits. Formally fixed and actually prevailing in the public consciousness values may differ, which is due to the fact that the processes of formation (including changes in values) and consolidation do not always completely coincide, just as the scope and subject of legal regulation and their limits do not coincide.

Authors: Zhigas Margarita , Kuzmina Svetlana
Published: December 2023

The changes that have emerged in the sphere of monetary circulation over the past decades on the eve of the introduction and development of financial technologies, contributed to the spread of innovations in the financial market. The idea of creating digital currencies of central banks is being discussed at the level of the financial community and makes it relevant to study this issue. The purpose of this study is to identify the main problems of changes and transformations taking place in the sphere of monetary circulation over the past decades, through the creation and introduction of digital peer-to-peer currencies into circulation. The article suggests and considers a model for creating and constructing an environment for the circulation of digital currencies by means of minimizing risks by using the advantages of the developed technology. The study assessed the key distinctive features between the pyramid requirements building system and digital peer-to-peer currencies. The main aspects supporting the use of stable digital currencies and their assets as one of the tools have been formulated. The forms of design features of CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) creation are projected, their advantages are formulated. The study showed that the implementation and circulation of CBDC requires the creation of a stable, secure and innovative infrastructure that has the ability to connect, authenticate and support users on a massive scale. During the transition to digital currencies of the central bank, the risks may be higher than planned, this is influenced by unstable macroeconomic and structural policies, including the reliability of the regulatory framework, which should be flexible enough and adapted to recognize financial risks created by new types of financial intermediaries, and deal with them.
Juvenile Delinquency: a Criminological Screenshot of Modernity
Authors: Koryagina Svetlana
Published: December 2023

Juvenile delinquency has been significantly decreasing in recent years. Meanwhile, the data provided by official statistics reflect not the actual, but only the registered level of juvenile delinquency, characterized by its latency. There is also a liberal attitude of criminal justice authorities to minor acts committed by minors, which leads, on the one hand, to a decrease in the personal responsibility of minors and, as a consequence, to their committing repeated crimes, on the other hand. As a result, the court chooses an ineffective punishment measure. Therefore, the relevance of the study is beyond a doubt. Criminological analysis of juvenile delinquency as a systemic phenomenon, the study of its causes and conditions and negative social phenomena are the purposes of the paper. The author uses specific scientific methods: questionnaires, expert assessments and statistical research methods. The empirical basis consists of statistical data on registered crimes committed by minors in the Russian Federation in 2010–2020, the data of the Administration of the Justice Department of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for 2014–2020 as well as the results of published sociological and criminological studies conducted by other authors. It seems that criminal associations of minors not only promote a criminal lifestyle, imposing it on teenagers, but also serve as a platform for involving minors in various illegal activities, which are more typical for the adult criminal environment. The forms of self-affirmation a particular group chooses depends directly on the leader's behavior, his attitudes, the level of criminogenic contamination of the environment and the criminal tendencies of the group.

Authors: Shchukina Tatyana , Sorokina Tatyana , Karacheva Natalia
Published: December 2023

The main purpose of the present research is to define the impact of changes that took place in the monetary and credit policy of the Russian Federation. The changes touched upon the regulatory issues of mortgage lending which have influenced some aspects of life of the population, including the affordability factor of square meter housing prices in the Russian Federation. The article analyzes the money incomes of the population in the RF, including the main source of average salary, rates, volume and number of credits granted in the period from 2019 to the third quarter of 2021. This period reflects the current situation and takes into account the factor of economic consequences occurred during the pandemics, that is characterized by crisis in the economy. The research describes general trends in mortgage lending in the Russian Federation with the account of some factors. It also provides some solutions for the problems encountered, including the increase in the demand for housing and consequently growing real estate prices. The reduction in rates was aimed to increase affordability of housing, but in practice it had the opposite effect, when the rate cut led to increase in real estate prices. Based on the research findings, we can conclude that money and credit policy in the Russian Federation has failed in terms of mortgage rate regulation and that it is necessary to review the rate in the short-term.
The Benefit and Harm of Philosophy
Authors: Bogodelnikova Lyubov
Published: December 2023

These days, philosophy is seen as an integral part of basic general subjects in any university’s curriculum. Yet, a response to the questions of what the purpose of philosophy is today and what its benefit is as a science, never stops being relevant. The purpose of our study is to explore the specific nature of philosophy as a form of cognition, to show narrowness of the restrictive utilitarian attitude of education that does not give individuals a chance to develop self-cognition and independent free thought. Analysis of various conceptual approaches formed over the history of philosophy lets us consistently justify some important statements. First, studying of philosophy promotes the development of critical thinking that teaches to look at oneself and the circumstances from the outside. Second, philosophy is becoming a method of spiritual transformation and self-cognition for a thinking person that helps ‘not to ignore oneself’ and ‘not to lose oneself. Third, philosophy is an effective remedy against the consciousness industry that brings up uniform standardized thinking and promotes false needs. Finally, free thought, without which the study of philosophy is impossible, helps resist various ideological manipulations and systems of total control over an individual and a daily life. The results of our speculations on the place and objectives of philosophy can be used for teaching humanitarian subjects at a university.
Problems of Transfering Property Rights and Ways to Solve Them
Authors: Belousov Vladimir , Leonova Svetlana
Published: December 2023

The analysis of modern law enforcement practice on the issues of determining the legal nature of property rights and the possibility of their transfer shows that the activity of the judiciary does not contribute to the effective development of civil turnover. The purpose of the research is to identify the legal nature of the transfer of property rights and the applicability of this legal category to various objects of civil rights. Based on the analysis of the transfer of things and property rights, the idea is proved that the transfer of a thing is a legal fact while the transfer of a right is not such a fact. In this regard, the necessity of linking the transfer of the right with some independent legal fact is justified. The attention is focused on various legal ways of things and property rights and on the inadmissibility of the extension of the norms of property law to property rights. The principles of separation and abstraction characteristic of the laws of the German legal family, as well as the possibility of their application in Russian civil law, are investigated. The conclusions that the division of transactions in accordance with the principle of separation into mandatory and administrative is impractical and does not meet the needs of civil turnover in Russia are drawn. The provision on the consideration of the administrative transaction as a legal fiction is substantiated. The idea that only one binding transaction is needed for the turnover of property rights is defended. A way to strengthen civil turnover by introducing mandatory notarization of transactions with property rights is suggested.

Authors: Svetnik Tamara , Fedyukovich Ekaterina
Published: December 2023

The prevailing positive assessments of the results of the introduction of project financing overshadow the consideration of unresolved problems of a strategic nature for the state, the construction industry, developers and homebuyers. Especially noteworthy is the assessment of unequal strategic opportunities for large, medium and small developers, which affect the banks' choice of whether to start lending or refuse project financing of real estate objects construction. The aim of the study is to examine the strategic opportunities and strategies of developer organizations that determine their activities in project financing schemes and affect the choice of business and competitive strategies, depending on the availability of their strategic resources. The authors propose to evaluate the strategic opportunities of developers and the strategies they choose from the position of presence or absence of strategic resources, the formation and accumulation of which depend not only on the size and profitability of companies, but also on the established rules of project financing. The authors substantiate the ways of improving the conditions of project financing which enable medium and small construction companies to accumulate strategic resources and move from forced survival strategies to growth strategies. They also describe the areas of choice for business and competitive strategies of construction organizations depending on their capabilities and market situation.

Authors: Selishchev Aleksander
Published: December 2023

In May 2021, China celebrated the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Tibet Autonomous Region. In its socio-economic development, Tibet has gone through a number of stages. The article explored the first stage: 1951–1959, during which the central government of the PRC practically did not interfere in the internal affairs of the region, limiting its help to creation of the foundations of modern economy and social infrastructure. Firstly, it was necessary to link Tibet with the central regions of China by reliable transportation system through the construction of highways, airlines and water routes. Secondly, it was necessary to lay the foundations of modern industry and services, which were almost nonexistent in Tibet. In 1951, 98 % of the region’s economy consisted of primitive agriculture and animal husbandry. Thirdly, it was required to create a system of education, health care, press and radio almost from scratch. To accomplish those goals it was necessary to prepare qualified personnel and labor force.

Published: December 2023

Turkish Maarif Foundation, an institute teaching Turkish as a foreign language (TFL) worldwide, is an important institution in the field. The foundation applies TFL Curriculum approved in November 2020 by the MoNE Board of Education in Türkiye. The purpose of the current study is to elucidate to what extent the Turkish as a Foreign Language curriculum utilized by Türkiye Maarif Foundation. The approved curriculum overlaps with the meta-text entitled Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR, 2020) as to teach languages in Europe. In the study, the outcomes for speaking and writing skills at B1 Level are taken into account as the level accepts learners as independent users. To collect qualitative data for this descriptive research, a document analysis was performed on the descriptor scales of the curricula, in terms of speaking and writing activities in the Turkish course books prapered, published and utilized by one State University in Ankara, Turkey. Findings reveal that CEFR defines more general outcomes because of its role as a meta-text providing recommendations for language teaching and learning, whereas TMF provides more details developed and deduced from these references. The reason for having more details calibrated in TMF descriptors results from the fact that it subdivides the outcome according to the contents of descriptors. Hence, the subdivided descriptors appear in high quantity calibrated separately in TMF Curriculum. Consequently, the number of outcomes calibrated in TMF is observed rather high compared to CEFR ones. Yet, there are striking results displaying how the outcomes cohere, indeed. As the studies conducted in this field appear limited, it is assumed that the current study will contribute to those working in the field.

Authors: SHARMA Kapila , THAPA Gopal , NN Salghuna
Published: December 2023

Aim of study: Fire impacts biodiversity and ecosystems, and is crucial for understanding fire causes. This paper aimed to assess burned areas and severity levels in Sikkim's forest fire incidence data from 2004-2019.

Area of the study: The study area for the work is the state of Sikkim, situated in the Himalayan Mountain's North-eastern region.

Material and methods: Landsat 8 and Landsat 5 satellite image were used for the study and Standard vegetation indices like Delta Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) and Relativized Burn Ratio (RBR) are computed. Also, a linear regression analysis was performed between weather parameters like temperature (℃), wind (Km/h), rainfall (mm) on burn severity (dNBR classes) of forest fires in Sikkim between the year 2009-2019.

Main results: According to the findings, out of 557 numbers forest fire incidents in Sikkim between 2004 and 2019, 250 numbers were classified as Unburned (46.21 %), 199 numbers as Enhanced Regrowth, Low (35.72 %), and 43 numbers as Enhanced Regrowth, High (7.94 %), while 32 numbers were classified as Low Severity (5.92 %), 9 numbers as Moderate-Low Severity (1.66 %), 5 numbers as Moderate-High Severity (0.92 %), and 2 numbers as High Severity (0.36 %). It was found that the wind (r=0.80, Slope=0.57, SD=0.70) and rainfall (r=0.77, Slope=-0.18, SD=7.00) showed a strong positive and strong negative linear relationships respectively in influencing the burn severity (dNBR). While, temperature (r=0.69, Slope=0.74, SD=0.01) plays a moderate positive role in influencing the burn severity (dNBR).

Highlights: The study has shown the effectiveness of burn area mapping and remote sensing data products in analyzing forest fire regions with limited resources and diverse landforms and vegetation. Researchers will be able to identify the regions affected by forest fires and those that have not recovered since the fire. Goal of this research is to improve forest fire planning and management by fostering aid to the responsible authorities to evaluate the pattern of vegetation degradation in burn regions and estimate the impact of forest fires

THE DARK SIDE OF PERFECT LOVE: A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH A NARCISSIST
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Korolov D. K.
Published: December 2023

Using traditional clinical approaches and the results of extensive statistical researches of recent years, the author comprehensively analyzed the development and the functioning of a romantic relationship with a narcissist. Love is one of the most popular means providing narcissistic aspirations. Probably, this way is chosen by individuals with the appropriate potential (attractiveness, charm, sexually inviting behavior) to satisfy their own narcissism. It is relatively easy to achieve an idealization from a romantic partner, her/his emotional dependence and power over him/her. Such perspectives create hope for a narcissist to transform his/her life by filling him/herself with the love of the partner, which should compensate childhood emotional traumas and reinforce the narcissist's extremely inflated but fragile self-esteem. Narcissists are extremely successful in the relationship initiation and its initial phase, creating an impression of ideal love. However, they experience significant problems in the later stages of relationship development. They do not want to build a partnership at all, always remain opened to new relationships. When it is no longer possible to increase admiration by his/her partner, they switch to the strategy of rivalry. Through the use of various forms of abuse, exploitation and infidelity, the narcissist strengthens his/her self-esteem, feeling power over his/her partner and her/his emotional dependence. This causes the partner's emotional injuries, who over time also begins to reject and avoid the narcissist. The consequences for the narcissist are: reduced quality of life, low relationship satisfaction and feelings of loneliness. But since narcissism is largely determined genetically, by a history of significant relationships in childhood and provides partially successful adaptation, the prospects for changing the narcissistic style of romantic relationships through psychotherapy are pessimistic. However, psychological help is necessary and effective for a narcissist's romantic partner.
Fees Received under the Montreux Convention: An Assessment on the Value of the Golden Frank
Authors: Bilican Mevlüt Savaş , Türkeş İlkay
Published: December 2023

Montreux Convention signed in 1936 regulates the cruise and voyage passages through İstanbul Strait, Marmara Sea and Çanakkale Strait, known as the Turkish Straits. Within the framework of this convention, there are mutual rights and obligations concerning the navigation through the Turkish Straits and pertain to both the vessels utilizing the straits for passage and the Republic of Türkiye, which holds sovereignty over these straits. While the ships passing through the Turkish Straits benefit from the freedom of navigation, it is stipulated that they make payments to the Republic of Türkiye for the services (sanitary control, lighthouse, life-saving services) included in Annex-1 of the convention. Articles 1 and 4 of this annex refer to these fees. The article examines these issues. Annex-1 states that the amount to be paid will be determined in terms of net ton, service type, and Gold Francs. Taking into consideration the number of ships passing through the straits and their total tonnage, this study makes a mutual comparison between the Golden Francs application in the Montreux Convention and the current applications in determining the fees charged by Türkiye and discusses which of the methods would provide more gains to the Republic of Türkiye. The result of the study clearly shows that the new pricing policy to be applied can provide more income to Türkiye and can be in line with the spirit of the Montreux Convention.
A model of describing creep strains and porosity evolution for a hollow cylinder affected by internal gas pressure
Authors:   Institute of Mechanics, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Nazarov V. V.
Published: December 2023

Two plane-strain states of two identical hollow cylinders are considered, where one is made of a material with porosity evolution and the other is made of an incompressible material. For each hollow cylinder, the process of inflation begins from an undeformed state and ends as soon as the external boundary radius reaches a certain set value. In the assumption that the porosity increases and reaches its highest value at the outer boundary radius, the two hollow cylinders are compared in terms of their strains and stresses.

The paper studies changes in the structural state of a Ni–Fe–Cr–Ti–B–C composite after hot plastic deformation. The matrix of the composite consists of a mechanical mixture of two solid solutions: austenite and ferrite. Titanium carbide and diboride particles resulting from self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) are the strengthening phases. Additional strengthening is provided by carbide Cr23C6 and intermetallic Ni3Ti particles formed in austenite during cooling. The constituent with a ferrite matrix, which is a mixture of α-(Cr,Fe) + TiB2 + TiC + Cr23C6, is shown to have the highest ductility. The strongest constituent of the composite is represented by regions with an austenitic matrix and the most abundant TiB2 particles. These regions are characterized by the highest hardness, elastic modulus, elastic recovery Re and wear resistance ratio HIT/E. The hardness of the composite is 58 HRC. For plastic deformation of the composite, it is proposed to perform hot rolling at a heating temperature of 1000 °C under all-round compression. To do this, a composite specimen is pressed into a 10 mm steel shell, with 6 mm steel plates welded on top and from below. True plastic strain ε = 0.6 is achieved under these conditions. EBSD analysis testifies that the deformation is implemented due to dynamic polygonization and recrystallization of the austenitic and ferritic grains of the composite matrix. Dynamic recrystallization prevails in the austenitic grains, whereas dynamic polygonization predominates in the ferritic ones.

Published: December 2023

Arc narrow gap welding of the 35L carbon cast steel (cast carbon steel J03502, grade 1) and the 110G13L high-manganese steel (austenitic manganese steel, ASTM A128) is performed using chromium-nickel-manganese wires in a shielding gas mixture (GOST R ISO 14175–2010 – M21). The welded samples are examined by different methods including optical metallography, hardness measurement, and mechanical tests. The weld metal structure along the weld height in the welded samples proves to be fairly uniform, namely austenite with ferrite inclusions. The experiment results show that the mechanical properties of the weld metal correspond to the intermediate values for the joined steels. The developed technology has made it possible to produce a welded joint with high mechanical properties and a ductile structure.

The paper considers the exact integration of magnetic hydrodynamic equations for describing nonuniform unidirectional flows of viscous incompressible fluids. The construction of an exact solution is based on the well-known representation of hydrodynamic fields as the Lin–Sidorov–Aristov class. The 3d magnetic field is described by linear forms with respect to two spatial coordinates (longitudinal, or horizontal). The coefficients of the linear forms depend on the third coordinate and time. In view of the incompressibility condition, the 1D velocity field depends on two coordinates and time. The pressure is shown to be determined by a quadratic form with constant coefficients. These coefficients are determined by pressure distribution on the known (free) boundary. The exact solution is illustrated by the integration of non-1D hydrodynamic fields in the case of the steady motion of a conducting viscous incompressible fluid. This solution is polynomial, and it will be useful for the formulation of new problems of hydrodynamic stability.

The paper discusses a methodology for simulating friction stir processing in order to determine the process parameters and to provide surface hardening for flanges with a cavity. In accordance with the developed methodology presented by the results of literature analysis, it describes a computational computer model developed in Ansys Mechanical and based on the finite element method. The thermophysical properties of the material under study and the tool material, which are taken into account in the FEM simulation of the processes, are presented as dependent on temperature. By comparison with experimental research, the simulation results are verified in terms of a number of parameters, such as the depth of the hardened layer and the diameter of the surface area of the faces of holes for bolted joints. The results of measuring the microhardness of the hardened layers of the AISI 420 steel are presented, and their dependence on the depth of the hardened layer is determined. Numerical simulation is used to compute the values of the geometrical parameters of the areas subjected to surface hardening by friction stir processing with the variation of the process parameter, namely tool rotation speed, the force acting along the normal to the surface being processed, and the friction coefficient. The numerical simulation gives results on the thermal state of the specimen, particularly, maximum temperatures in the contact zone, as well as temperature and time dependences.

Software for computer simulation of metal forging processes is a reliable tool for designing dies and developing technological processes, which allows one to avoid defects and predict product quality. The paper describes the experience of the KUMW JSC in simulating with the Deform and QForm software packages. The distinctive advantages of the QForm domestic software are exemplified by the forging of a roller disk. Proceeding from the described advantages, the KUMW JSC has selected QForm as effective software to solve the problems of die forging. The paper provides examples of applying this software. QForm is used to evaluate die filling in the forging of an odd-shaped part. Significant under-forming of the part was identified, and the technology was optimized in order to eliminate them. Additionally, by using this software, the shape and weight of a blank for forging a landing gear leg were optimized, and this has resulted in a 15% increase in geometric yield. After only one die-forged item code was modeled and the durability of the tooling was evaluated from stress intensity and displacement, the tooling material was replaced, the critical zone radius was locally increased, and the method for manufacturing die tooling was altered. This increased tool durability by 28%. The presence of the Hartfield postprocessor subroutine in QForm has made it possible to predict the zones of the occurrence of forging defects during the processing of the odd-shaped part and to correct the production scheme in good time. Each simulation example is supported by industrial experiment.

In the previous series of articles, we examined in detail the features of the prevalence, the quality of primary registration, the localization structure and survival of patients with malignant neoplasms in various age categories of the Russian population from children and adolescents to middle age (45–59 years). In this study, we will consider all these aspects for the following age category of elderly people. In accordance with the distribution of the age structure recommended by the World Health Organization, the elderly population includes people from 60 to 79 years old. The WHO age classification is not an absolute criterion for classifying a person to a certain age structure, especially for residents of different countries, taking into account their socio-economic characteristics. The elderly age according to the university characteristic is determined by the fact that there is a decrease in vital activity. The specific features of morbidity, mortality and survival of the elderly population of Russia will be considered in detail for each five-year age group of the elderly – 60–64 years, 65–69 years, 70–74 years.
Crip Life Amidst Debilitation: Medicalization, Survival, and the Bhopal Gas Leak
Authors: Pandya Jiya S.
Published: December 2023

In a textbook horror-story of global capitalism, on December 3, 1984, the U.S owned Union Carbide pesticide factory spewed forty tons of lethal toxic methyl isocyanate (MIC) on the city of Bhopal in India. Nearly 10,000 people died and 30,000 people were disabled overnight. Continued exposure to MIC at the factory site has disabled many more in the decades since. Yet, few disability scholars have considered the histories of the survivors of the leak as a key site of crip politics. Drawing on work by Nirmala Erevelles, Jina Kim, Jasbir Puar, and Alison Kafer, this paper explores how the long history of debilitation, disablement, and survivorship since the Bhopal Gas Leak provides essential ground for re-zoning disability studies in the Global South. Braiding the theory of debility with the methodology of critical disability studies, this article posits that it is insufficient to say that the most marginalized in the Global South experience debility. Rather, it is also necessary to focus on their modes of survival in the face of the constant material and intellectual reproduction of said debilitation. The article demonstrates how poor lower-caste and Muslim workers and city-dwellers in Bhopal were subject to the debilitating logics of transnational corporate negotiations, racialized environmental de-regulation, and governmental profit-seeking in the years leading up to the leak. Through crip readings of medical research published between 1985 and 2000, I argue that this debility has been compounded through knowledge production which did not pay heed to the ways in which its victims contended with their vulnerability. In contrast to these sources, this article further examines testimonies and organizational pamphlets to contend that survivors in Bhopal offer their own model of disability justice and crip survival in the face of debilitation. In an era of vibrant disability rights organizing in the United States, the survivors of the leak emerged in global media primarily as victims of a tragedy caught in an endless cycle of injustice. Moving past the stance of pity often deployed in discussions of Bhopal, I highlight efforts of survivance that center disabled futurity, even as these activists use a different vocabulary and thereby strive to channel attention and resources to the myriad forms of crip survival in postcolonial India.
