Venezuela: to be or not to be
Authors: Krasilchuk Volodymyr
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the most crucial components of the current political and institutional crisis in Venezuela. A brief historical deflection into the events of 1989-2020 was made, which indicate, among other things, deep-seated left-wing political views and feelings amidst the majority of the population. This situation serves as a solid platform for strengthening the role of the ruling PSUV party and the present head of State, N. Maduro, in the country’s domestic politics. The political and institutional crisis in the above-mentioned oil-rich South American country has expanded sharply, after being elected Juan Guaidó, a representative of the opposition party VP («People’s Will») as a Chairman of the National Assembly on January 5, 2019. He challenged the prevailing President, declaring himself as the Acting head of State just on January 23, 2019. In this context, the key social and economic aftermaths of the crisis in present-day Venezuela are revealed, in particular, such as the GDP contraction, hyperinflation, growth of the population living in extreme economic poverty, an increase of Venezuelans forced to leave the country due to, above all, obvious signs of a humanitarian crisis. Deepening of the Venezuelan society in destructive processes, escalating of the political debates at the level of parties’ leaders, a lack of the transparent discussion in the public arena concerning the country’s future, to be a necessary condition for realizing the citizen’s rights to democratic choice, appear as consequences of the failure of Guaidó’s strategy. It was built in particular on the desired, but not achieved cessation the usurpation of power by Maduro. The postures of the main international players (USA, EU, OAS, «Lima Group», International Contact Group) are outlined with regard to the assessments of the domestic situation in Venezuela and suggestions for resolving the political crisis and restoring democracy in this country, in particular via introducing sanctions against Venezuelan officials and legal entities, as well as establishing a constructive dialogue between Maduro and the opposition. The main items of Ukraine’s official position on the «Venezuelan issue» had also been notified. In a nutshell, a conclusion is made that for a certain category of Ukrainian voters and for the majority of Venezuelans, despite the obvious differences, the issue of the public administration model remains rhetorical, authoritative, as an outcome of the improvement of democratization, or authoritarian one.
Energy Security of the West in the Conditions of Russian Aggression Against Ukraine
Authors: Frenzel Carsten , Rybak Andrii , Kalynska Oksana
Published: December 2022

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that the fuel and energy sector of the state is one of the key ones for ensuring a comfortable life of the population. In recent years, the process of energy development has been negatively affected by climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, but now the most important problem is the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Political events have only proved that Europe is suffering significant losses in the energy sector and is quite dependent on Russia's fuel and energy resources. That is why the issue of ensuring fuel and energy security and creating a sufficient level of reserves is the most relevant. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to analyse the issue of energy security of Western countries in the context of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The leading methods of investigating this problem are logical analysis, periodisation, induction, deduction, comparison and systematisation of approaches, which will help determine the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the current state of energy security development in Europe. The paper describes the concept of security and its features in the energy sector; analyses the studies by historians, economists, sociologists, political scientists, and researchers who deal with the problem of energy security of the West in the context of Russia's aggression against Ukraine; describes the danger of further use of Russian gas; suggests various methods and ways to save energy and help reduce dependence on Russian gas supplies; diagnoses risks and threats in the fuel and energy sector of Ukraine and Western Europe; disclosed main statistical data and facts of dependence of European countries on fuel and energy resources from Russia. The materials of the study are of practical and theoretical value for political scientists, economists, politicians, and diplomats, which would help them create conditions for ensuring the country's energy security. In addition, the information may be relevant for researchers and scientists who are concerned about the economic damage to the whole world as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Historical Aspects of the Establishment of the Great Seven
Authors: Bowler Dilara
Published: December 2022

The relevance of the study is conditioned by many historical and modern aspects. In particular, by revealing the issues of creating an international organisation, it is possible to understand what functions the organisation had, and the purpose of the organisation's existence against the background of historical events and modernity. The purpose of the study is to highlight the prerequisites and history of the creation of the International organisation Group of Seven (also known as G7), to investigate the influence and significance of this organisation, both in the past and in the context of modern international relations. The scientific approach is based on methods of systematic analysis of other studies and publications, and analysis of documents, in particular, international treaties, memoranda, etc. In addition, historical and comparative, historical and system methods were used, which allowed determining the place of the organisation in the general historical process. The main results of scientific research should be considered the definition of both the prerequisites for the establishment of the Group of Seven and its results, namely: the activities and significance of the organisation, and the definition of the role of an international organisation in historical and modern contexts. Practical application of the results obtained in the course of research is possible as a tool for solving a number of both historiographical and political science problems. In particular, the study can help solve the problem of interstate relations between developed countries and developing countries, the problem of the political and economic unity of developed countries, the problem of relevance and loss of influence of Western countries, and the growth of influence of developing countries, the problem of the relevance of the G7 format and its replacement with the G20 format, etc.

Crowd Mentality Conveys No-Oneness
Authors:   Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Tirana, Blvd. Zogu I, Tirana 1001, Albani, . Lolja Saimir A
Published: December 2022

The paper inspects the individual's personality concerning self, Crowd Ruler, members, and surrounding setting. It creatively examines the cause and conditions of why individuals make a phycological crowd around a Ruler. The larger the Crowd, the more the individual vanishes within and outwardly. The individual in the Crowd alters himself into a narcissist and, simultaneously, a sentinel toward others. His ego is above everything, so he wants to be a Ruler or the Ruler of the Crowd. On the outside, the gravitational force of collective psychosis and the fear of Crowd's breath convert him into an emotional and malevolent no-one. He loses vision in the Crowd, and his rationality turns off while instantaneous fury turns on. Purpose: This discourse aims at a society led by rationality where individuals live in harmony and peace. Methodology: The duality Crowd-Ruler is reviewed through experience while emotional processes in Crowd members and the Ruler are examined for the accounted social acts or behaviours. Findings: The notion of duality Crowd-Ruler is a sensitive matter because if leaders and decision-makers have this duality like a beacon, society suffers devastation. In addition, the mentality of duality Crowd-Ruler might come across through uncomfortable behaviour in everyday life and work situations. A simple tool to avoid conversion to a No-one is by not thinking, speaking, or writing with "We". Originality: The paper examines first the cause of Crowd making and then outlines the effects of the Crowd eventually on the identity of its members which is the No-oneness

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction affects up to 30% of men in industrialized nations. Although the disease is more common in older age, men in their 30s and 40s are also affected. Despite the quantity and the important socio-psycho-pathogenic significance of erectile dysfunction, it is still treated almost exclusively by the administration of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of a digital lifestyle change intervention for men with erectile dysfunction. Material and Methods: In this pilot study, 20 patients with erectile dysfunction were encouraged to make lifestyle changes using a digital application. Results: We were able to show that the use of a digital application is very effective in supporting the lifestyle change efforts of patients with erectile dysfunction. Conclusion: Digital applications could offer valuable assistance in extending the purely symptomatic therapeutic approach (PDE5I) of men suffering from erectile dysfunction, to include the important component of lifestyle change in order to address the long-term implications of this complex condition

Lessons for the Future
Authors: Hemmings Brian , Boylan Colin
Published: December 2022

Students in the second year of their pre-service teacher education program were offered an incentive to undertake practice teaching in remote rural schools in the North-West Riverina CAP cluster. CAP provided travel and accommodation expenses. Approximately one quarter of the cohort volunteered for the practice teaching experience. After the three week practicum, students (N=23) were asked to reflect on their rural teaching and living experiences and to consider such issues as the practicum arrangement, the professional development benefits, the experience of rural living, and the value of the CAP incentives to travel and teach in the remote rural communities. All students expressed a preparedness to accept a teaching appointment in remote areas, thus supporting the efficacy of incorporating a period of teaching practice in areas which have been generally difficult to staff.
Four Considerations Regarding the Viability of Small Rural School in New Zealand
Authors: Stevens Ken
Published: December 2022

New Zealand rural education since 1991 has heen influenced by the publication of the Report of the Economic and Educational Viability of Small Schools Review which, while not devoted entirely to the rural sector of the country's education system, was in large part concerned with the educational viability of small schools in isolated communities. In New Zealand, most small schools are in rural areas, although there are some notable urban exceptions. The review took place amid considerable media speculation and growing apprehension about the future of small schools, particularly those in remote parts of the country.

Beginner's Tale
Authors: Cameron JMR
Published: December 2022

Beginning teachers have been subjected to intense scrutiny. The typical focus has been on the professional problems they encounter in their first year of teaching, usually determined by largescale surveys using a questionnaire in which the range of  possible problems has already been identified. Situational studies where beginning teachers identify and delineate their own concerns are far less common but are potentially richer and more meaningful in what they reveal. Studies of beginning teachers in rural and remote areas of Australia are rare. Reported here are the experiences of one beginning teacher appointed to a remote area school in an Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory. His experiences, although expressed more forcefully than most, are not unique. They capture the essence of cultural and environmental dislocation which many new teachers encounter. The reconstruction covers the period from the system-level and regional-level induction in the week prior to the commencement of the school year to the induction recall period held regionally at the end of the first teaching quarter. Induction recall in the Northern Territory applies to teachers in Aboriginal schools only.

Published: December 2022

Terasem, transhümanizmin insanı dönüştürme ideallerine etik, hukuki ve dini bağlamında yaklaşan hem tekno-fütürist hem de dini transhümanist bir harekettir. İnsan olmayı dünyevi tecrübeler ve anılardan ibaret gören Terasem, ölümsüzlüğün bu deneyim ve bilgilerin kaydedilmesi ve beyinle benzer bir şekilde işlenebilmesi ile mümkün olacağını iddia etmektedir. Ruhu yok sayarak bir insana ait yaşanmışlıkların ve dünyevi tecrübelerin dijital bir kopyasının makineler veya biyo-mekanik varlıklara yüklenmesinin insanı yaşatmaya devam edeceği ve onu ölümsüzleştirdiği düşüncesi başlı başına bir tartışma konusudur. Bununla birlikte Terasem, mevcut dinleri kendi amaç ve ideallerinin gerçekleştirilebilmesini sağlayacak bilimsel çalışmaların önünde önemli bir engel olarak görmektedir. Bu bağlamda dini bir hareket olarak Terasem Trans-din Hareketi kurulmuştur. Söz konusu grup, transhümanizm ile ulaşılacak trans-human’ın yani aşkın insanın aşkın dini olarak sunulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, tüm dinler ile uzlaşmacı ve kapsayıcı bir aşkın din olarak sunulan Terasem Trans-dini Dinler Tarihi perspektifinden ele alınmış ve değerlendirilmiştir.

Published: December 2022

The modern construction industry is based on the development of concrete structures and concrete is the most commonly used building material for the construction industry. Concrete manufacturing involves dev elopement of a mixture containing different natural resources like stone, clay, sand, water, and cement. These natural resources are extracted and transported to the construction site to create concrete (Ahmad et al., 2022). On the other side, concrete waste poses a significant environmental and economic challenge for the global construction industry. The present study is based on analyzing the use of recycled material for the development of sustainable concrete mix. Recycled materials involve the recycling of construction waste that provides the best alternative for natural resources and helps to prevent the environment. The present study is based on qualitative data analysis and surveys to highlight the usage of recycled materials to develop sustainable concrete. The survey results demonstrate that recycled materials are significantly important for the development of concrete mix and it is cost-effective and also protect the environment.  The present research provides a deep insight into the usage of recycled materials for sustainable concrete manufacturing.

A endomiocardiofibrose é uma doença negligenciada e predominante em países subdesenvolvidos. Apesar de sua frequência, ainda é considerada rara. Assim, a doença é marcada pelos seguintes achados: distorção arquitetural, alterações no enchimento ventricular e alterações da mobilidade segmentar. Ela afetando não só a dinâmica diastólica e sistólica, como também as funções das válvulas cardíacas. Em uma condição mais avançada da doença, pode haver formação de trombos apicais. Neste relato de caso, revisitamos a endomiocardiofibrose, apresentando um caso desafiador de paciente do sexo feminino de 52 anos, com clínica de insuficiência cardíaca classe funcional IV da New York Heart Association. A eletrocardiografia de repouso revelou ritmo sinusal com sobrecarga do ventrículo esquerdo com vetores de alta voltagem, infradesnivelamento retificado do segmento ST e onda T negativa em região anterolateral, podendo ser compatível com padrão de strain. Já na avaliação de imagens ecocardiográficas, revelou dilatação acentuada do átrio esquerdo, com ventrículos sem dilatações e imagem de ocupação apical hiperrefringente no interior do ventrículo esquerdo, sugerindo grande trombo séssil sobreposto à capa fibrosa endocárdica. Embora a conduta cirúrgica seja a mais apoiada em literatura em tais situações, a paciente aqui apresentada recebeu tratamento com anticoagulação oral por 1 mês e 24 dias. Ela evoluiu clinicamente bem, com melhora da classe funcional da New York Heart Association e, em ecocardiografia realizada 2 meses após o início da anticoagulação oral, houve demonstração da regressão da imagem de trombo apical, apoiada com a técnica de contraste endocavitário.

Published: December 2022

El 24 de noviembre del 2016 se firmó en Bogotá el Acuerdo final para la terminación del conflicto y la construcción de una paz estable y duradera, por el gobierno colombiano y la guerrilla de las Farc-EP. Este acuerdo creó la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP) como parte central de un sistema de justicia transicional que privilegia la restauración frente a la retribución tradicional. Asimismo, estableció las sanciones que pueden ser impuestas a los responsables de delitos cometidos en el marco del conflicto armado colombiano y que no implican necesariamente la cárcel, lo que ha dado lugar a un abierto debate social y político. Aquí se analiza la concepción tradicional y los fines de la pena en el Derecho Penal para establecer sus diferencias con las sanciones y fines de la justicia transicional colombiana. Se concluye que este modelo trasciende los límites del Derecho Penal retributivo y ha sido desarrollado por una legislación que respeta la Constitución y los estándares del Derecho Internacional y de los derechos humanos, al tiempo que contribuye al logro de una paz con justicia en Colombia.
GREEN SYNTHESIS OF NANOPARTICLES FROM SEAWEEDS – A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: S. Princy, B.S. Benila, T.S. Shynin Brintha,  S. Jeeva
Published: December 2022

Marine seaweeds that belong to Chlorophyta, Rhodophyta, and Phaeophyta groups are reported to biosynthesize metal nanoparticles. The morphology and the stability of the nanoparticles obtained from seaweeds for biomedical and environmental applications are equivalent in most aspects to other “green” methodologies. The ability of algae to accumulate metals and reduce metal ions make them a superior contender for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles and hence they are called bio-nano factories as both the live and dead dried biomass are used for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles using seaweeds can be scaled up to meet industrial requirements. Algae are relatively convenient to handle, less toxic, and less harmful to the environment; synthesis can be carried out at ambient temperature and pressure and in simple aqueous media at a normal pH value. Therefore, this review elaborates seaweeds as a better tool for the fabrication of metal nanoparticles.

Published: December 2022

Old age is a period when people need physical, emotional, and psychological support. Depression is the most prevalent mental health problem among older adults and it contributes to increase in medical morbidity and mortality, reduces quality of life and elevates health care costs. Therefore early diagnosis and effective management are required to improve the quality of life of older adults suffering from depression. Intervention like Mindfulness based Stress Reduction is a powerful relaxation technique to provide quick way to get rid of depression and negative emotions by increasing mindfulness. The study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of MBSR on depression among elderly residing in residential homes, Bangalore. In this study, quasi experimental pre-test post-test control group research design was used. There were two groups: experimental and control, each group had 30 samples selected from different residential homes by non-probability convenience sampling technique. Pre-test depression and mindfulness was assessed before the first day of intervention. Experimental group participants were provided intervention on MBSR. Assessment of post-test depression and mindfulness was done at the end of the intervention programme for both group participants. The study revealed significant reduction in depression (p

Published: December 2022

Importance: The Health Promoting Activities Scale (HPAS) measures the frequency of participation in health-promoting activities of mothers of children with disabilities. Translation of the HPAS into Chinese and validation of the Chinese version will enable its use with Chinese-speaking mothers of children with disabilities.

Objective: To translate the HPAS into Chinese and assess its construct validity in relation to measures of well-being, mental health, and activity satisfaction.

Design: Cross-cultural validation.

Setting: Community.

Participants: Eight bilingual Chinese speakers were involved in the translation. Ethnic Chinese mothers of children with disabilities living in Australia, Singapore, or Taiwan (N = 89) were recruited via purposive snowball sampling. Participants self-selected to complete the Chinese e-survey.

Outcomes and Measures: Translation was guided by recommended frameworks. The Chinese versions of the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWS), Personal Well-being Index (PWI), and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale–10 (K10) were used to determine construct validity. Internal reliability was investigated.

Results: The Chinese version of the HPAS correlated significantly with satisfaction ratings (r = .45, p < .001; n = 87), WEMWS Total score (r = .61, p < .001; n = 85), PWI mean score (r = .44, p < .001; n = 84), and K10 total score (r = −.33, p = .002; n = 81). Internal reliability was moderate (Cronbach’s α = .74).

Conclusions and Relevance: The Chinese version of the HPAS was found to be cross-culturally equivalent to the original HPAS and psychometrically sound for use with Chinese-speaking mothers of children with disabilities.

What This Article Adds: This study provides an example of the cross-cultural validation process. The Chinese version of the HPAS is psychometrically sound and could be used as an outcome measure of Chinese mothers’ participation in health-promoting activities.

This practice-based article describes a program that aims to instil an interest in entrepreneurship among African youth by helping them make a connection between the skills they have developed through their participation in sport and the skills required of successful entrepreneurs. The program was developed in partnership between scholars at four universities (University of Botswana, University of Dar es Salaam, University of Ghana and Michigan State University), as well as schools at other community organisations in three African cities: Gaborone, Botswana; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; and Accra, Ghana. The program, which seeks to contribute to the well-established need for job creation in sub- Saharan Africa, integrated basic entrepreneurship and life-skills training activities into a sports camp for youth athletes. The program appears to have developed entrepreneurial tendencies among youth sport participants in these African cities, suggesting that job creation efforts could benefit from targeting youth sport participants and helping them to recognise the important skills they have developed through their participation in sport, and helping them to identify ways in which that skill development could positively impact their futures.
Considerações sobre Saussure e o estruturalismo no Brasil
Authors: Donatti Silvério Guazzelli
Published: December 2022

No presente artigo, proponho abordar leituras de Saussure trazidas por autores brasileiros que exploram aspectos da teoria saussureana que foram apagados na sua vulgata, ou que não se destacam desde uma leitura tradicional. Parto da apresentação de fatos que colocam em questão a redação estruturalista dos editores da teoria saussureana presente no Curso de linguística geral (CLG), para em seguida apresentar algumas abordagens críticas que assumem pontos de vista questionadores de aspectos da vulgata, contribuições que se inserem em uma chave de leitura, em certa medida, desestruturalizante. Assim, viso colaborar com os estudos que buscam avançar o que se entende como teoria saussureana.

A complexidade do ensino de Ciências Naturais no início da escolarização infantil tem promovido discussões, no sentido de favorecer a reconfiguração das concepções sobre a aprendizagem de conceitos científicos, assim como o desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas mais condizentes com uma formação científica de qualidade. O presente artigo apresenta parte de uma pesquisa de doutorado que realizou uma proposta de formação continuada compartilhada, no âmbito dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. A partir da organização de encontros coletivos na escola, estruturou-se um grupo de estudos sobre o ensino de Ciências Naturais. Os encontros coletivos realizados possibilitaram a construção de saberes que foram (re)construídos de maneira compartilhada, sendo que as professoras articularam os conhecimentos adquiridos durante a trajetória de formação e atuação com novas possibilidades, resultantes da construção coletiva de um trabalho reflexivo que permitiu qualificar a prática pedagógica.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir a presença de práticas educativas na prostituição a partir do diálogo com a perspectiva decolonial, tomando como base experiências da Associação Sergipana de Prostitutas. Nesse sentido, sua problemática central envolve os seguintes questionamentos: Como se configuram as práticas educativas na prostituição? É possível um diálogo entre a Educação e o estudo da prostituição em uma perspectiva crítica e decolonial? Para responder esses questionamentos, realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica investigando o que diz a literatura no campo da Educação sobre a prostituição. Depois, empregamos uma pesquisa documental com as marcas de experiências da ASP. Como referencial teórico utilizamos as compreensões da Pedagogia Decolonial de Walsh (2008). Evidenciamos que as ações realizadas pela ASP são pedagogias outras, capazes de educar mulheres na prática da prostituição.

Öncelikle Batı müziği icrâsında kullanılan klarnet süreç içerisinde Türk mûsikîsi icrâsında kullanılmıştır. Batı müziğinin stabil yapısının yanı sıra mücennep aralığındaki perdeler icrâ edilmeye başlamış ancak bununla birlikte ciddi entonasyon problemleri ortaya çıkmıştır.
Araştırmanın alt problemlerinde klarnetin kendi fiziksel yapısında yer alan mantar, güderi, bek, gövdeler ya da kalak arası mesafelerden kaynaklı entonasyon problemlerinin yanı sıra çarpma, vibrato, glissando, trill, dudak sıkma-gevşetme gibi süsleme ve üfleme teknikleri kullanımında da entonasyon problemi yer almaktadır. Araştırma dahilinde söz konusu Türk mûsikîsi klarnet icrâsında perde kullanımı, oturuş, tutuş, ağız, icra biçimi, dil ve dudak hareketleri gibi çeşitli konular da entonasyona etki etmektedir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmada, Türk mûsikîsi klarnet icrâsında entonasyon bozukluklarına neden olabilen unsurlara değinmek, toplu icrâ için akort birliği sağlamak ve entonasyon kaynaklı sorunlara çözüm önerileri sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Dolayısıyla bu araştırma, Türk mûsikîsi klarnet icrâsında entonasyona sebep olan unsurların ortaya konulması ve çözümleri doğrultusunda yapılacak icrâlarda yapılan entonasyon hatalarını en azami seviyeye ya da tamamen yok etmeye yönelik olarak Türk mûsikîsi klarnet icrâcılarına, eğitimcilerine, talebelerine ve çalgı yapım alanına katkı sağlaması açısından önem arz etmektedir.
Bu araştırmada, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini, Türk mûsikîsi klarnet icrâsında entonasyonu etkileyen unsurlar oluşturmaktadır. Evren üzerinde çalışıldığı için ayrıca bir örneklem kümesi belirlenmemiştir. Entonasyon probleminin çözümüne katkı yolunda, elektronik çözümler gündeme gelebilecek olsa dahi, yine de asıl çözüm, büyük oranda icrâcının kendisine ait olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

In this paper, considered the ways of obtaining a composite electrochemical coating by entering molybdenum (VI) oxide into the copper matrix in order to improve the physicochemical properties of the copper coating. The influence of electrochemical parameters (solution concentration, current density, concentration of molybdenum (VI) oxide) is investigated with cathodic polarization of a titanium electrode in aqueous solutions of copper sulfate. In the course of studies of the influence of the concentration of a dispersed particle that is part of a copper-molybdenum oxide (VI) composite, it was found that at high concentrations of dispersed particles in solution, the cathode surface is passivated and the optimal concentration of the dispersed component is determined. It was noted that with increasing current density, the amount of molybdenum (VI) oxide penetrating into the copper matrix increases slightly, these data were explained by the charge difference of the particles, as well as adsorption properties. As a result of the study, a compact composite coating on the cathode in a dispersed suspension of the composite in a solution of copper (II) sulfate was obtained. The results of the physico-chemical analysis of the resulting composite coating showed that 1.2% dispersed molybdenum (VI) oxide entered the copper matrix. As a result of tests of a composite coating made of copper-molybdenum oxide for chemical corrosion, it was found that this coating has high corrosion resistance from a copper coating obtained without molybdenum (VI) oxide. The surface roughness of the coating obtained on the cathode surface was observed in microphotographs. This was explained by the fact that molybdenum (VI) oxide penetrates into the copper matrix in the form of dispersed granules and forms a composite electrochemical shell with a copper coating.

Due to the opening of a large number of industrial enterprises, one of the urgent problems is the purification of industrial waters and waste recycling. In connection with the reduction of environmental conditions, there is a need to tighten the requirements for the discharge of industrial wastewater and waste. Currently, the methods of wastewater discharge have been changed. In addition, there are requirements for the development of effective approaches in the field of industrial wastewater treatment. The main purpose of the research work is the wastewater treatment of OC "Kainar-AKB" from toxic metal ions using natural adsorbents. According to the study of wastewater treatment by OC "Kainar-AKB" bentonite montmorillonite (Sredny Tentek), red bentonite (Mukry), zeolite (Maytobe) and diatomite (Ile) were taken as natural adsorbents. To determine the chemical composition of the studied objects, an X-ray phase analysis was carried out. As a result of qualitative and semi–quantitative analysis of minerals, it was found that the main component of diatomite is SiO2, in cyolite - the content of Laumontite Ca4Al8Si16O48·14h2o (51.3%). As a result of the study, it was found that natural minerals from the Almaty region have sorption properties, that is, they can be used to purify all industrial wastewater. Since the results obtained exceeded the MPC standards for wastewater, it can be recommended to use these sorbents in wastewater treatment processes along with other methods (reagent, biological, etc.).
