Authors: Ivanova A. Yu. , Maksakova I. B. , Zirina V. A. , Krylov A. I. , Yurlova N. A.
Published: November 2023

Methodological developments related to the determination of the content of cationic flotation reagents (collectors) based on aliphatic alkoxyamines (Flotigam EDA, Tomamine M-4213, Feiying: TG-928) in technological media and waste of iron ore enrichment processes are considered to ensure the analytical control of technological processes in view of a danger character of generated waste. A spectrophotometric method for determination of cationic amino-containing surfactants can be used for express- and screening analysis. The method of gas chromatography was used to increase the reliability of alkoxyamine measurement and in arbitration cases. The ranges of determinable content for the photometric method in aqueous media were 0.04 – 100 mg/dm3 (extended uncertainty from 20 to 25%) and 3 – 1000 (extended uncertainty from 22 to 30%) in solid media; whereas for gas chromatographic procedure the content ranged within 0.02 – 100 mg/dm3 (extended uncertainty from 20 to 25%) in aqueous media and from 1.0 to 1000 mg/kg (extended uncertainty from 20 to 30%) in solid media, respectively. The methods for determination of the main components, alkoxyamines, in commercial compositions of amine-containing flotation reagents are also presented. The methods have been tested in modeling flotation procedures (to optimize relevant conditions and regimes of real production), certified and included in the Federal State Information System (FSIS) «Arshin».
On the requirements for statistical methods of data analysis (generalizing article)
Authors: Orlov A. I.
Published: November 2023

Half a century activity in consulting researchers of various specialties, reviewing articles and books, opposing dissertations provided the possibility of getting acquainted with hundreds of specific studies on the development and application of statistical methods. A variety of shortcomings in conducting research and publishing the results of studies have been revealed, which hinder the perception of the data obtained, and in some cases cast doubt on the adequacy of the conclusions. Therefore, it appeared advisable to develop natural requirements for methods of data processing and presentation of the results of statistical data analysis. This study is devoted to an initial consideration of a number of formulations of such requirements. We proceed from the modern paradigm of applied statistics, based on non-parametric and non-numerical statistics which replace the primitive paradigm of the 19th century and the paradigm of the middle of the 20th century using parametric distribution systems. When describing and discussing the procedures for analyzing statistical data, it is necessary to start with probabilistic-statistical models for generating the data under study. It is necessary to proceed from the theory of measurements, according to which the first step in the data analysis is identification of the scales in which they are measured. Statistical inference must be invariant under the allowable transformations of data measurement scales. Since almost all distributions of real data are non-normal, a preference should be given to non-parametric formulations. The possibility of using parametric families of distributions must be carefully justified. In accordance with the theory of testing statistical hypothesis, both the null and alternative hypotheses must be specified. It is necessary to study the stability of the conclusions drawn from the model with respect to acceptable changes in the initial data and assumptions of the model. A number of further publications of the author will be devoted to the problems of developing a system of requirements for statistical models and methods.

Published: November 2023

Nano-technology is expanding its horizon in various science and technology fields. In civil engineering, soil is a complex material and used for various functions and applications. Meanwhile, sometimes an effective soil stabilization technique is needed to fulfil the site criteria and can be achieved by adopting various methods e.g., physical, chemical, thermal or reinforcement using geotextiles and fabrics. The mechanism of soil stabilization using nanomaterials is still unexplored and open to prospective researchers. The present article attempts to touch and explore the possibilities of nano-technology in soil improvement and its applications in various civil engineering works. Microstructural analysis of the nanomaterials treated soils using the latest equipment has also been discussed. The study interprets that the use of nano materials is still limited, due to their high cost and sophisticated handling procedures. Though the use of nanoparticles in soil stabilization results in extraordinary improvements in various soil properties, the improved soil properties could be utilized for various geotechnical projects. The present study bridges the past findings to the present scenario of nanomaterials in soil improvement.

Further result indicates that 56.5% of farmers express willingness to repay loans, while 43.5% show unwillingness to repay borrowed fund. Further finding reveals that 40% of the farmers possess capacity to repay loan.. The study revealed that there is a significant difference in loan repayment capacity of poultry< fish, < arable crop farmers, with an F-value of 5.669 and (P≤ 0.05). Regression analysis identifies significant predictors of loan repayment capacity to include stock size, off-farm income, and farm income. Diversified income sources and effective farm management practices play crucial roles. Logistic regression indicates that longer repayment periods, larger stock sizes, and greater farming experience positively influence farmers’ willingness to repay loans (P≤0.05). It was recommended among others that financial institutions should offering flexible loan terms and sizes according to borrowers capacity. Encouraging farmers to diversify their income sources can improve loan repayment capacity of farmers.

Introduction: In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, several strategies to reduce the spread of this virus have been adopted in the community and hospital settings. Objective: To report the epidemiological trends of all superficial mycoses (SM) diagnosed before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and to evaluate the impact of anti-COVID-19 preventive measures on the incidence and etiological profile of these SM. Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive and comparative study conducted over four years, divided into two distinct periods: Before the COVID-19 pandemic (Period 1: January 2018 to December 2019) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (Period 2: January 2020 to December 2021), including all superficial mycoses diagnosed at the laboratory of parasitology and medical mycology of the Avicenne military hospital of Marrakech during these two periods. Results: Out of 1598 superficial mycological specimens, 1006 were received during period 1 and 592 during period 2 (p=0.000). Onychomycosis (n=840) predominated in both periods (52.3% versus 53%, p=0.771). The incidence of ringworm and epidermomycosis decreased significantly between periods 1 and 2, with a p-value of 0.000 and 0.026, respectively. The study of the etiological profile showed a decrease in the incidence of dermatophytes (85.5% versus 79.3%, p=0.015), contrasting with a statistically significant increase in yeast MS (9% versus 11.3%, p=0.001), and this mainly concerned nonalbicans Candida (5.5% versus 35.8%, p=0.000). Conclusion: The results of this study highlight the impact of anti-COVID-19 prevention measures on the epidemiological profile of SM. It shows that the continuation of the actions implemented to control the transmission of SARS-COV-2 will significantly contribute to reducing the incidence of superficial mycoses, especially dermatophytes.

The role of deconstructing as a part of translation process in literary text
Authors: Brooj Nasser A Alsaqer
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the role of deconstruction in the translation of literary texts, delving into the ways in which deconstructive approaches can challenge established translation norms and illuminate new possibilities for interpretation. By drawing upon the insights of Jacques Derrida and other influential deconstruction theorists, this research explores the transformative potential of deconstruction in capturing the complexities of language, symbolism, and cultural references in literary works. Through a combination of theoretical analysis and sample texts, this study aims to shed light on the ways in which deconstructive translation techniques can unveil the inherent ambiguities, subversions, and multiplicity of meanings present in literary texts, ultimately contributing to a deeper understanding of the intersections between deconstruction and literary translation. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to conduct the research. Also, the comparative approach is used to compare the translation of literary texts by Translation Program students. Two groups of translation students translated (4) literary texts. The research findings showed that deconstruction can play a significant role in challenging and reevaluating the assumptions and fixed meanings associated with the original language. The research concluded that translators should understand the original text's structural aspects. Translators may better determine whether structural decisions are necessary to keep the deconstructive spirit of the original work by knowing why.

The styles depend on the cerebral dominance of an individual in retaining and processing different modes of information in his/her thinking styles. Each student has his/her specific thinking style. Thinking styles may differ from one student to another. Parents and teachers must be aware of the thinking styles of their children and students. They must provide the thinking experiences by considering the learners' thinking styles. Thinking styles are one of the factors that decide the learners' academic achievement. Hence, this study attempted to study the correlation between thinking styles and academic achievement among student-teachers of B.Ed. Programme. A descriptive study has been applied for the conduction of the study. The study has been conducted on a representative sample of 100 student-teachers. Styles of learning and thinking developed by Venkataraman D and academic achievement test developed and validated by the researcher have been used to collect the data. The researcher used the statistical techniques mean, standard deviation and the product-moment correlation coefficient to analyze the data. The study revealed a weak negative correlation between left hemisphere dominance of thinking styles and academic achievement.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders with a worldwide prevalence between 5 and 10 per 1000. Among the world population, 50 million people are reported to be affected by epilepsy and approximately 85% are the ones residing in developing countries. This study aimed to assess the intellectual knowledge among parents of people with epilepsy before and after health education. Quasi-experimental design (Pretest & posttest) was used. The study was conducted at one of the leading tertiary care hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan. Study participants will be selected using a convenient sampling method. The sample size is calculated by using the formula in Open Epi. The sample size was 370 upon 95% of the confidence interval but due to the limitation of time and according to the availability of participants, 100 subjects were interviewed through a pre-designed questionnaire. Study results demonstrate a significant difference between participants’ scores assessed pre and post-intervention. The Pretest score was recorded as 44.35 and the post-test assessment was measured as 52.48. The results of this study strongly suggest that educating the parents of children with epilepsy can help enhance their abilities to manage their children while having seizures at home. This can help minimize any chaotic situations and utilize the resources effectively.
