The 2013 Finds in the Context of the Animal Style of the Kurgan 1 of the Necropolis Filippovka 1
Authors: Okorokov Konstantin , Perevodchikova Elena
Published: June 2020

The article deals with the specimens of Scythian Animal Style found in 2013 during supplementary excavation of the kurgan 1 of the necropolis Filippovka 1 (previously it was called the 1st Filippovka kurgan) in 2013. The specimens of the Scythian Animal Style analyzed were found in a new excavated burial 2. There were found golden plaques of wooden vessels with zoomorphic handles, silver mirror with gilded handle. There are images of animals on the golden plaques for a dress, some pendants and finger rings. The works of Art described show many stylistic parallels with the specimens of the Animal Style previously found in the mound. Comparing the items we have found some specific features of Scythian Animal Style of the 1st Filippovka kurgan. Among new finds we see also unique ones. In recent years the figures of deer embroidered on sleeves of the dress were found by V.E. Tregubov and K.S. Okorokov. We present the first publication of the research results by K.S. Okorokov reconstructed these figures of deer. These figures also find stylistic parallels with the works of Art of the 1st Filippovka kurgan. Some works of Achaemenid Art contain elements of Scythian Animal Style. The Style of these items also shows some characteristics specific for Scythian Animal Style of the kurgan 1 of the necropolis Filippovka 1. Basing on this we can suggest they were made by Achaemenid craftsmen by order from Filippovka nomads. Our work confirms the thesis of stylistic unity of the works of Art found in the 1st Filippovka kurgan.
Dagger Complex from the Surrounding Area the Village Tolbazy in the Southern Urals
Authors: Savelev Nikita , Nikolaev Sergey
Published: June 2020

8 iron daggers of the advanced stage of the Prokhorov culture (III–II centuries BC), found in different years in the vicinity of the village of Tolbazy located in the forest-steppe of the Southern Urals (Republic of Bashkortostan, Aurgazinsky district) are published. It is shown that according to physical and geographical data, this area (about 15  15 km) is allocated to a single microdistrict located at the crest of the Bielsko-Urshak watershed, which has a width of more than 50 km at this point. The territory of the microdistrict is elevated (100 meters or more from the foot of elevation, 250 meters above sea level on average), it abounds with small lakes and springs on the top, with the sources of small watercourses on the slopes and it is surrounded by rivers on all sides. Most of the findings were made on the plateau or at the sources of small watercourses, some of them - in river valleys. It is concluded that this area can be considered as a separate honey cell, “nomadic parish” or summer dwelling complex, which is typical for the settlement system of early nomads to the north of the hills of Obshchiy Syrt. The nearest known honey cells are located at a distance of 5–12 km from Tolbazinsky district and the number of finds of bladed weapons of the mid-late I Millennium BC varies from 3–4 to 25 pieces. It is also shown that in the III–II centuries BC, the development of bladed weapons (swords and daggers with a straight cross quillion and a crescent-shaped pommel) among the nomads followed the line of standardization of earlier forms of the Southern Urals, the assimilation of individual innovations and imitation of samples with a ring-shaped pommel representing foreign culture for the region.
The use of technology in healthcare education: a literature review
Authors: Grimwood Tom , Snell Laura
Published: June 2020

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. This paper presents a literature review into the use of technology in healthcare education. A search of three electronic databases resulted in 20 articles for inclusion in the review. The articles were synthesised into a narrative review. The review identified four key themes across the literature: the types of technologies used in healthcare education; the integration of technology into the healthcare curriculum; the skills and knowledge of the healthcare educators; and the benefits of using technology for the learners. The literature demonstrated that a wide range of technologies are now used within healthcare education, and this requires educators to adapt their practice and develop their technical skills to be competent users. The successful integration of technology into healthcare curriculums can be beneficial for healthcare learners by developing their clinical and professional skills, and enhancing their learning experience.
“Difficult questions” of Russian History: Opinions and Forecasts
Authors: Chubariyan Alexander
Published: June 2020

This article deals with the professional discussion about the so-called “difficult questions” of Russian history that involves historians and teachers in the now independent republics of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Block. Both academic publications and teaching books are used as primary sources for the study. In the first section, the author studies several problems connected with the origin of Russian statehood, the Varangian question, and civilizational characteristics of East Slavic nations. The second section is devoted to the Russian imperial past and especially to the discourse on colonialism, which is often used as an explanatory model for the imperial period by historians and textbook authors in some of the post-Soviet countries. The third section is concerned with the conception of the 1917 revolution. The author emphasizes the fact that the conception of a continuous revolutionary process (1917–1922) has yet to be accepted by Russian secondary schools. In this part, the author considers several other factors significant for understanding the revolutionary process including issues such as the origins of the First World War and the developmental level of the Russian Empire in the early twentieth century. In the fourth section, the article discusses the conception of the 1930s Soviet modernization along with negative opinions about the Soviet period given by scholars of different former Soviet republics. In the fifth section, the author briefly observes contemporary studies of culture and everyday life. It is concluded that the history of culture is not represented well in Russian school textbooks, and it is also found that the studies on everyday life are often lacking in depth. Discussing various “difficult questions” of Russian history, the author highlights controversial historical ideas and opinions, formulated in the post-Soviet countries during the last decades.

Sagdeev Potential Approach for Quantum Dust Ion Acoustic Waves in an Electron-Positron-Ion-Dusty plasma
Authors: Banerjee Gadadhar , Maitra Sarit
Published: June 2020

Using the one-dimensional quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model including the Poisson equation, Sagdeev’s pseudopotential process is used to explore the propagation features of dust ion acoustic (DIA) solitary waves in an unmagnetized electron-positron-ion-dusty (e-p-i-d) quantum plasma.
The asymptotic expansion is used to achieve the pseudopotential function for small values of the parameter H of quantum diffraction. QDIA solitary wave’s existence domain is explored in terms of real Mach number boundaries. The numerical modeling results demonstrate that the dust grains
can affect not just the amplitude and width, but also the soliton’s domain of existence. The impacts of the quantum diffraction parameter on the soliton width are also addressed. It is also noted that the positron density may influence the propagation of the wave.

Published: June 2020

Lack of proper authorization techniques in grid computing technologies is a matter of much concern. The concept of virtual organizations which is at the core of computational grids further complicate the matter. Role-based access control (RBAC) is a security technology that is gaining
importance now-a-days. It is used a lot in network security and can be effectively applied in grids too. Here a cross-domain policy mechanism for authorization is outlined based on the research of RBAC model at present, whereby equality is achieved between a local and a global role. The future
work is to realize the model and implement it in practice.
Forecasting of demand using ARIMA model
Authors: Ghosh Saumyadip
Published: June 2020

The work presented in this article constitutes a contribution to modeling and forecasting the demand in a food company, by using time series approach. Our work demonstrates how the historical demand data could be utilized to forecast future demand and how these forecasts affect the
supply chain. The historical demand information was used to develop several autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models by using BoxJenkins time series procedure and the adequate model was selected according to four performance criteria: Akaike criterion, Schwarz Bayesian criterion,
maximum likelihood, and standard error. The selected model corresponded to the ARIMA (1, 0, 1) and it was validated by another historical demand information under the same conditions. The results obtained prove that the model could be utilized to model and forecast the future demand in this
food manufacturing. These results will provide to managers of this manufacturing reliable guidelines in making decisions.
Bioacumulación de metales pesados en Donax obesulus del litoral de Lambayeque, Perú
Authors: Manay Roger , Fupuy-Chung Jorge , Iglesias-Osores Sebastian , Chanamé-Céspedes Jorge
Published: June 2020

Donax obesulus es un bivalvo ampliamente extraído y consumido por la población local del litoral de la región Lambayeque, Perú. El ambiente costero-marino donde habita D. obesulus se encuentra alterado a causa de las actividades agrícola-industriales, pobre tratamiento de aguas servidas, entre otros. Esto permite la presencia de contaminantes como metales pesados (cadmio, cobre y plomo). Los objetivos de esta investigación fueron cuantificar y evaluar las concentraciones de cobre, plomo y cadmio en tejidos comestibles de D. obesulus. Se recolectaron muestras de D. obesulus en tres playas del litoral de Lambayeque (de sur a norte: Lagunas, San José y El Gigante) entre los meses de mayo y julio del 2013. Las muestras se sometieron a un ensayo toxicológico por espectrometría de emisión óptica (OES) de plasma acoplado inductivamente (ICP). Los resultados demostraron que el cobre presentó una clara tendencia acumulativa en D. obesulus con mayor concentración en la playa San José en julio (10,1 µg g-1). En contraste, las concentraciones de plomo (>0,3 µg g-1) y cadmio (>0,2 µg g-1) fueron exiguas en todas las áreas de muestreo durante todo el tiempo que abarcó la investigación. Estos resultados podrían sugerir que la bioacumulación de cobre, plomo y cadmio en D. obesulus implicaría la seguridad alimentaria de sus consumidores.

Increased Awareness and Decreased Acceptance of Genome-Editing Technology: The Impact of Chinese Twin Babies v4
Authors: Watanabe Daiki , Saito Yoko , Tsuda Mai , Ohsawa Ryo
Published: June 2020

Genome-editing technology has become increasingly known in recent years, and the 2018 news of genome-edited twins in China had a particularly significant impact on public awareness. In the present study we investigate the effect of Japanese media coverage on public opinions of this technology. To identify the effects we employ a questionnaire survey method on a pre-registered sample from online research company Macromill. Our repeated survey from 2016 through 2019 reveal a generally supportive attitude toward the medical application of genome-editing methods. To see this we employed a multinomial logit analysis examining the determinants of negative and positive impressions of the technology. Results show that although editing for medical purposes remained mostly acceptable, its use in fertilizing human eggs was increasingly rejected, especially in 2019, the most recent sample year. The suggestion is that while genome-editing applications in general medical fields are publicly accepted, its use in human functionality enhancement is heavily increasingly resisted. News of the twin babies in China did raise public awareness of the methods but also damaged their reputation. It therefore is important for genome researchers to hold such concerns in mind, keeping the public informed of changing technology fundamentals. As a related question we ask into the public acceptability of genome editing for animal and plant breeding, such as in agriculture and fisheries, as well. We find the Japanese public views the medical and breeding applications of this technology to be unconnected with each other, despite that awareness of both has risen significantly in recent years.

Could Seeking Human Germline Genome Editing Force Journeys of Transnational Care?
Authors: Kaur Amarpreet
Published: June 2020

The scope and use of in vitro fertilisation (IVF), a technology which inherently presents gender inequalities, and its platform applications differ across countries according to respective legislation and regulation (Inhorn, 2015). Using the context of human germline genome editing (hGGE) as a framework, this article will explore and discuss whether differences in legislation and regulation across countries force individuals/couples to seek transnational care to fulfil their reproductive desires. This article will primarily focus on regulation and practices in the United Kingdom (UK) and use these as a comparative to regulation and practices in other countries. The primary research upon which this article is based was conducted in the UK between 1st March 2018 – 31st October 2019. The research consisted of a largely qualitative, online public survey with a final data set of 521 respondents, semi-structured interviews with 11 experts/professionals who were/are involved in the scope of hGGE in the UK, and semi-structured/interactive interviews with 21 people affected by a respective range of genetic conditions. The findings reveal that 65.64% of respondents were supportive of people utilising transnational care to achieve their reproductive desires in relation to hGGE and that 76.39% felt they should not be prosecuted if they do.
La Diversidad Afectivo-Sexual en First Dates (Cuatro: 2016-). Análisis de Contenido del Perfil de los Participantes
Authors: Sánchez González Sofía , González de Garay Domínguez Beatriz
Published: June 2020

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar la diversidad afectivo-sexual en el programa First Dates y el tipo de representación que se muestra de los participantes LGBT. La metodología utilizada fue el análisis de contenido aplicado a 28 programas de la tercera temporada, seleccionando una muestra final de 260 participantes (n = 260). Los resultados arrojan que existe un alto porcentaje de participantes LGBT (en comparación con los datos demográficos), aunque su representación no es uniforme: el lesbianismo, la bisexualidad o la transexualidad escasean y los jóvenes son el segmento poblacional con más individuos LGBT en el programa. Por otro lado, España es el origen geográfico de la mayoría de concursantes, siendo el lugar de residencia del grueso de participantes LGBT las comunidades de Madrid, Cataluña y Andalucía. La ocupación profesional también resultó estar estadísticamente relacionada con la orientación sexual, mientras que la concesión de una segunda cita o el origen geográfico, no.
The New Metal Men: Exploring Model of Flexible Masculinity in the Bandung Metal Scene
Authors: Daryana Hinhin Agung , Priyatna Aquarini , Mulyadi Raden Muhammad
Published: June 2020

The global metal scene has long provided narratives and methods for solving issues of masculinities since in their particular environment in the music industry, and they are generally considered masculine. This article explores the stereotypical construction of masculinities in the Bandung metal music scene. This analysis based on in-depth interviews with Bandung professional metal male musicians who are aged 39-44 years old and are married. This investigation examines how these metal musicians negotiate alternative masculinities in various contexts, taking into account the predominantly Muslim culture in Indonesia. Using an ethnographic approach and borrowing from Millett's concepts of temperament, role, and status, this paper argues that metal music, which is generally considered hypermasculine, does not display the same construction in their performing their functions in the family. Through their roles as breadwinner, musicians maintain normative Indonesian masculinity, as well as fulfilling their responsibility to their family. However, they negotiate equity in the private space, which regards household labor division, childcare, and sharing of income. This paper argues that to some extent, musicians in the metal music scene in Bandung provide a role model of masculinity that is more gender-sensitive and egalitarian.

Authors: Toquero Cathy Mae Dabi
Published: June 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented an ongoing challenge especially for those people and children with special needs and disabilities as their voices are unheard in normal times and this unfortunate situation is heightened during this emergency. Government policies during the pandemic necessitate inclusion for people with disabilities who also have their global rights for no one should be left behind in this crisis. This article examines the laws of the Philippine Government on the provision for the inclusive special education and rights of the said learners, highlights the possible educational interventions to supplement their learning amid the pandemic and offers recommendations for the emergency preparedness legislative policies and services to be responsive to the educational, socio-emotional, and mental health needs of the students with disabilities amid the pandemic. Future research should examine the experiences of the children with disabilities in using digital media during the pandemic period and evaluate the effectiveness of assistive technologies to meet the learning needs of people with disabilities.
Rezo and German Climate Change Policy: The Influence of Networked Expertise on YouTube and Beyond
Authors: Allgaier Joachim
Published: June 2020

Just before the European election in May 2019 a YouTube video titled The Destruction of the CDU (Rezo, 2019a) caused political controversy in Germany. The video by the popular German YouTuber Rezo attacked the conservative Government party CDU (Christlich Demokratische Union Deutschlands) mainly for climate inaction. As a reaction to the subsequent attacks on Rezo and his video from the political establishment an alliance of popular German YouTubers formed to release a second video. In this video, the YouTubers asked their followers not to vote for the Government or the far-right parties, because they would ignore the expertise of scientists and the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change and therefore be unable to provide sustainable solutions for the future. This debate started as a YouTube phenomenon but quickly evolved into a national public discussion that took place across various social media channels, blogs, newspapers, and TV news, but also e.g., in discussions in schools, churches, as well as arts and cultural events. The focus of this contribution is on the formation of the heterogeneous coalition that emerged to defend and support the YouTubers. It prominently involved scientists and scientific expertise, but other forms of expertise and ‘worlds of relevance’ were also part of this coalition. The conceptual tools of ‘networked expertise’ and ‘ethno-epistemic assemblages’ are employed to explore expertise and credibility as well as the associations and networks of actors involved which illuminate how a single YouTuber was able to contribute to the unleashing of a national debate on climate change policy.
Empowering Users to Respond to Misinformation about Covid-19
Authors: Vraga Emily K. , Tully Melissa , Bode Leticia
Published: June 2020

The World Health Organization has declared that misinformation shared on social media about Covid-19 is an “infodemic” that must be fought alongside the pandemic itself. We reflect on how news literacy and science literacy can provide a foundation to combat misinformation about Covid-19 by giving social media users the tools to identify, consume, and share high-quality information. These skills can be put into practice to combat the infodemic by amplifying quality information and actively correcting misinformation seen on social media. We conclude by considering the extent to which what we know about these literacies and related behaviors can be extended to less-researched areas like the Global South.
Clinical current features and treatment tactics of acute external hemorrhoids in outpatient and polyclinic conditions
Authors: Lomonosov D. A. , Lomonosov A. L. , Volkov S. V. , Golubev A. A.
Published: June 2020

Purpose of the study. The study of the current problems for acute external hemorrhoids (AEH) diagnosis and treatment from the point of view of a practicing ambulatory coloproctologist in the Tver region (based on an analysis of the clinical features of the disease, its course and the applied tactics of the coloproctologist) was made.

Patients and methods. A retrospective study with continuous series of 124 patients (2016–2017), using clinical and statistical research methods.

Results. Acute external hemorrhoids (AEH) is a painful formation that suddenly arises due to acute thrombosis of the external hemorrhoid plexus, located near the anus, mainly at 3, 5, 7 hours on the proctological dial, with a free space between the hemorrhoid and the mucous membrane of the anal canal. Patients with AEH turned to the ambulatory coloproctologist at a later date (on average 11.7 days after the onset of the disease), most often without pain or with slight pain in the anus, with mild and moderate severity of the disease. The main complications of AEH were necrosis and hemorrhoidal wall rupture with bleeding from it. Conservative treatment of patients with AEH was due to clinical guidelines of the Russian Coloproctologists Association (RCA); it was ineffective in 11.3% of patients, who underwent outpatient surgery. All patients with severe pain, high grades of AEH, were offered for hospitalization to the surgical department (including coloproctologcal), but they refused. Low operative activity and late surgery in patients with AEH, who applied to the polyclinic, were due to the fact that only 12 (9.7%) patients sought help within the first 72 hours of the onset of the disease, low severity of pain, as well as the patients refused the proposed operations.

Conclusions. The studied features of the outpatient coloproctologic service in AEH reveal the inadequate availability of system resources for patients, inappropriate informing the population with «mass-media» technologies; it makes difficulties to implement the recommendations of the RCA.
Influence of chronic ischemic disorders in the prostate on the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Authors: Roitberg G. E. , Mkrtchyan K. G. , Kulchenko N. G.
Published: June 2020

Purpose of the study. To assess the degree of influence of ischemic disorders in the prostate on the level of androgens.

Materials and methods. This was an experimental study that included 20 white non-linear sexually Mature rats. All animals were divided into 2 equal groups: main and control (intact). In the main group of animals (n=10), we created a model of chronic ischemic disorders in the prostate by partial ligation of the inferior Vena cava. After 1.5 months, we conducted a hormonal study in all rats (n=20) — determining the concentration of androgens (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone) and estrogens (estradiol) in the blood of animals and prostate tissue.

Results. In the blood of animals of both groups, the level of total testosterone and estradiol did not significantly differ (p>0.05). The level of dihydrotestosterone in the blood serum of rats of the main group on the background of ischemia was reduced by 18.1%, compared to the intact group (p>0.05). However, we detected elevated levels of testosterone (p<0.05) and dihydrotestosterone (p>0.05) in prostate tissue against the background of chronic ischemia.

Conclusions. Chronic ischemic disorders in the prostate can be an independent pathogenetic factor in the development of BPH. Vascular damage leads to impaired blood flow and hypoxia, with increased tissue concentration of testosterone, which potentiates the development of BPH.

bilgiler sunmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Türkiye’de faaliyette bulunan özel
hastane, Sağlık Bakanlığı hastaneleri, üniversite hastaneleri ve şehir
hastanelerindeki üst düzey yöneticilere yönelik hazırlanan anket formu kullanılarak
araştırma veriler elde edilmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler SPSS 22.0
paket programı kullanılarak tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve hipotez testleri yoluyla
analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgularda Sağlık Bakanlığı hastanelerinin
%48’1’inde maliyet analizinin yapılmadığı, özel hastanelerin %49’unda ve şehir
hastanelerinin %50’sinde maliyet analizinin medikal/muhasebe bölümünde
yapıldığı ve üniversite hastanelerinin %46,8’inde ise finans bölümünde
yapıldığı görülmüştür. Sağlık hizmetlerinin oldukça karmaşık ve değişken
olması, gider çeşitlerinin, yerlerinin ve merkezlerinin karmaşık olması,
hastanede üretilen hizmetin maliyeti ne olursa olsun devlet tarafından
belirlenmiş bir satış fiyatının olması ve üretilen hizmetin fiyatının maliyet
hesaplarına bağlı değil SUT fiyatıyla tespit edilmiş olması en fazla
karşılaşılan zorluklar olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Buna
göre, hastane yöneticilerinin maliyet analizine gereken önemi vermedikleri ve
karşılaştıkları zorlukların sağlık hizmetlerinin ve maliyet unsurlarının
kendilerine has özelliklerinden kaynaklı olduğu düşünülmektedir.  Anahtar Kelimeler: Hastane İşletmeleri, Hastane

Mass Psychology and Social History
Authors: Semechkin N.I.
Published: June 2020

Objectives. Analyze the historical process and in particular the movements of the masses not from the familiar for Russian researchers positions of famous Karl Marx’s thesis: “being determines consciousness”, but from the opposite point of view — social existence is determined by the state of public social consciousness, with the purpose to see how the transformation of social consciousness towards its decollectivization and demythologization, that creates shocking mental discomfort, generates mass social movements unconsciously seeking back in time, which predetermines the course of social history.
Background. Naive-spontaneous “materialism” of ordinary consciousness, but, even more surprising, scientists’ psychologists, makes it difficult to understand the real determinants of human behavior, that is, the fact that in the basis of individual behavior, and public life, and history in general lies not politics, not economics, but social psychology, that, contrary to the well-known Lenin’s’ aphorism, politics and economics are a concentrated representation of psychology.
Methodology. Theoretical analysis of socio-philosophical and psychological literature; comparative-historical analysis.
Conclusions. Transformation of public consciousness initiates the creation of utopian projects oriented into the past. Utopias evoke powerful social movements of the masses, fascinated by the irrational idea of returning to the “golden age,” in paradise. Thus, the dynamics of social-historical processes are determined not by economics and politics, but by the logic of the transformation of the archaic collective consciousness in the course of its individualization and demythologization.
Adaptation of Students from India and Arab Countries to the Educational Context of Institutions of Higher Education in Russia
Authors: Fedotova V.A. , Zhdanova S.Y.
Published: June 2020

Objectives. Identification and analysis of adaptation features, dominant coping strategies and components of the anticipatory competence among foreign students in connection with their cultural affiliation.
Background. A contradiction between the amount of empirical data on adaptation and the lack of work aimed at studying the peculiarities of predicting difficult situations in the adaptation process and copying strategies among foreign students due to their cultural affiliation is becoming more and more clearly marked.
Study design. The study was conducted using a socio-psychological survey. For data processing and analysis, descriptive statistics and Student t-test were used.
Participants. Students from Arab countries (n = 64) and from India (n = 73) acted as respondents.
Measurements. Technique «Revised Sociocultural Adaptation Scale» (SCAS-R) (J. Wil¬son, 2013); «Strategic Approach to Coping Scale» (SACS) questionnaire; «The test of antici¬pation competence» (V.D. Mendelevich, 2003).
Results. Arab students are easier to adapt to the educational process, they have more developed group involvement, and personal-situational anticipation competence is manifested to a greater extent than among Indians. The Indians are more likely to seek social support, it is extremely difficult for them to predict difficult situations associated with time and interpersonal communication.
Conclusions. The results of the study contribute to the identification of coping strategies, adaptation features and anticipation mechanisms, depending on students belonging to a particular culture.

Paradoxes of the Age of Emotional Uncertainty. Review of the Book by E. Illuz “Why Does Love Hurt? Sociological Explanation”. Moscow; Berlin: DirectMedia Publishing, 2020. 400 p.
Authors: Belinskaya E.P.
Published: June 2020

The reviewed book presents a sociological view of the dynamics of partnership relations in the postmodern era. Based on extensive theoretical and empirical material, the author analyzes the feeling of love as the social basis of self-consciousness of our contemporary. According to the author’s position, the main paradox of actual gender relations consists in the combination of a certain cooling in the emotional sphere of life with the fact that love today becomes the leading basis for determining one’s own value — both in social and psychological terms. This situation is based on the contradictions of public consciousness concerning the dichotomies of freedom and choice, power and subordination, community and independence. Their reflection on the level of individual experience and create, according to the author, modern “wounds of love”.

Authors: ERSHADİ Mohammad Hosein , BAHARLOUHOUREH Amir
Published: June 2020

The main objective of this paper is fuzzy control of single-input Step- Up Switched Capacitor-Inductor DC-DC converter. For this purpose, we first introduce the basic structures of capacitor switched converter. Then, a single-input step-up switched capacitor inductor DC-DC converter is investigated. The most important advantage of this category of these converters is that the energy flowing from the source is transmitted directly to the two C1 and L1 elements and is sent directly to the output terminal, thus, they can generate high voltage gain without the need for cascading structures or multiple Floor there. The simulation results show the correctness of the converter's performance.

Published: June 2020

Increasing the efficiency of the systems used in surgical operations has become an important issue. Especially in orthopedic surgery, many surgical systems and instruments are used to reduce the workload of surgeons and increase the success of the operation. Surgical drills, which are one of these systems used in orthopedic surgery, are used in operations such as drilling, cutting and carving in various interventions. Cases such as drill sensitivity and stability are critical to operational success and patient health. In this study, an orthopedic drill design that can be added to a linear motion module or a 6-axis robot manipulator has been realized. Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), which is one of the optimal controller methods, Proportional Integral (PI) Controller, which is one of the classical controller methods and Model Predictive Controller (MPC) systems from modern controller systems are designed to perform speed control task of the surgical drill. A drill integrated into the robot manipulator for a constant drilling speed of 120 rad/sec and a robot manipulator were used to provide constant feed rate (1 mm/s) and to drill holes at constant intervals during the drilling experiments. Power analysis is performed in real-time in bone drilling operations for three controllers. Current, and voltage information during drilling are recorded simultaneously in the experimental setup. In particular, it has been observed that the power signal and the force information of the bone in different layers are proportional.
Dissolution kinetics of manganese during nickel recovery from high iron grade laterite by acid leaching combined NaOH-assisted mechanochemical technology
Authors: ÇETİNTAŞ Seda , BİNGÖL Deniz
Published: June 2020

This study investigates the effect of the process involving a combination of sodium-based reagent-assisted mechanochemical conversion (NaOH-MC) and leaching, which was developed to provide highly efficient nickel recovery, on the amount of dissolved manganese during nickel recovery. For this purpose, firstly laterite was treated with NaOH as a reagent and then leaching performed in sulphuric acid medium. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was successfully used as a statistical approach to determine the effect of parameters for both processes and to optimize processes conditions in terms of dissolved manganese. In optimum conditions determined as 0.5 M H2SO4, 55 mL/g liquid to solid ratio, 75 ºC and 30 min; dissolution amount of manganese from NaOH-MC treated laterite was achieved as 97.54% ± 1.06 (N = 2) with standard deviation. In addition, the dissolution behavior of manganese was defined by a control mechanism, a combination of chemical reaction and diffusion based on the shrinking core kinetic model. The activation energy of manganese dissolution was found as 35.42 kJ/mol. According to the results, the mechanochemistry contributed positively to the dissolution of manganese due to the increased leachability of laterite at low temperature and in a short time with low acid consumption.
