A total of 151 library and information science journals were examined related to a number of issues: subject-specific distribution of library journals, interdisciplinary aspects, country of origin, language-used and other language characteristics, numbers of titles first appearing in given years, publication fees, the existence of license agreements, and the types of organizations having journals in the Directory that focus on libraries or librarianship.
Academic Librarians and the Sustainability Curriculum: Building Alliances to Support a Paradigm Shift
Authors: Charney Madeleine
Published: July 2021

Sustainability is a fast evolving movement in higher education demonstrated by a proliferation of academic programs, co-curricular initiatives, and campus projects. Sustainability is now viewed as vital to the mission of many institutions of higher education, creating a paradigm shift that librarians can help advance with their collective interdisciplinary expertise. A review of LibGuides (online resource guides) showed that academic librarians are involved with sustainability efforts on many campuses and have a role in shaping curriculum-related activities. The author administered a survey to creators of sustainability LibGuides during the spring of 2011, posting the survey on library listservs as well. Librarians returned 112 survey responses that illustrated their engagement in sustainability activities through the forging of campus partnerships with administrators, faculty, staff from the Office of Sustainability, and library colleagues. Telephone interviews conducted with 24 of the respondents showed librarians’ wideranging professional interest in sustainability, and their initiatives to promote its cause, including creating resources, collections, exhibits, and events; library instruction; co-teaching with faculty; serving on sustainability committees; and collaborating with sustainability faculty and staff. However, both the survey and the interviews suggest that librarians would benefit from increased collaboration and knowledge of work undertaken elsewhere. Moreover, as the needs of students and faculty studying sustainability increase, libraries need to appoint librarians with special responsibilities in this field. Included is the author’s experience as the Sustainability Studies Librarian at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and her engagement in professional development activities related to sustainability. Best practices for librarians to advance sustainability efforts are offered.

Introduction. Recurrent infection of the lower urinary tract (UTI) is a very common pathology in women of different age groups. This category of urological patients is most often found in the practice of an outpatient urologist. Aim. To study the possibilities of the effect of hydrolytic enzymes on the effectiveness of complex antiinflammatory therapy of chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases of the lower urinary tract in women with pathology of the distal urethra, paraurethral region and on the results of surgical treatment of patients with female hypospadias, paraurethral cysts. Materials and methods. 96 patients with various forms of chronic lower UTI and its complications as a result of diseases of the urethra and paraurethral zone (female hypospadias, hypermobility of the urethra, paraurethral cyst) we was observed. In the course of our study, all the observed patients, were divided into 2 groups. Group I – 40 people (control) patients who received only anti-inflammatory and antibacterial therapy according to the spectrum of the detected pathogen of UTI in combination with surgical treatment, and the group II – 56 patients who received anti-inflammatory and antibacterial therapy according to the spectrum of the detected pathogen of UTI and surgical treatment in combination with enzyme therapy for a course of 14 days. Results. In the II group all patients after discharge from the hospital were monitored for 6 months. Only 1 patient had a relapse of exacerbation of chronic lower urinary tract infection. Enzyme therapy as a component that optimizes anti-inflammatory therapy provides a real chance for earlier relief of the infectious process in these patients and improvement of the results of surgical treatment of paraurethral pathology. Discussion. Chronic recurrent infection of the lower urinary tract in women is often associated with the presence of pathological conditions of the distal urethra in the form of female hypospadias and hypermobility of the urethra, as well as paraurethral pathology in the form of paraurethral cysts. Patients with this pathology need surgical treatment and mandatory complex anti-inflammatory therapy. Enzyme therapy as a component that optimizes anti-inflammatory therapy provides a real chance for earlier relief of the infectious process in these patients and improvement of the results of surgical treatment of paraurethral pathology. Conclusion. The inclusion of hydrolytic enzymes in patients with UTI and with diseases of the distal urethra and paraurethral region in the anti-inflammatory therapy regimen increases the effectiveness of etiotropic therapy and improves the results of surgical treatment of diseases of the distal urethra and paraurethral region.

Introduction. Hypospadias is one of the most common malformations of the external genital organs in boys. The development of surgical technologies in recent decades has significantly improved the functional and cosmetic results of hypospadias treatment. Nevertheless, complications of urethroplasty are still the most discussed issue of this problem. To prevent fistulas and urethral dehiscence, it has been proposed to cover the suture line with a single or double layer of dartos fascia from a de-epithelized foreskin. For a similar purpose, it has been also suggested using the fibrin glue to seal the sutures of the formed urethra. The objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of Evicel fibrin glue in the surgical treatment of distal hypospadias in children. Materials and methods. The study included 27 children under the age of 2 years (between 11 and 23 months) with coronary hypospadias. All children underwent tubularized incised plate surgery. The first group of patients comprised 11 (40.7%) children whose urethra was covered with Evicel fibrin glue after tubularization. Covering of urethra with two sheets of de-epithelized foreskin was performed in the second group, in 16 (59.3%) children. Results. We have not revealed statistical differences in the occurrence of complications in the studied groups of patients. In the first group, a fistula of the urethra was noted in 1 (9.1%) child, in the second group, 2 (12.5%) complications were revealed. Conclusion. From our perspective, the absence of differences in the complications rares in the studied groups of patients. We may conclude that the use of Evicel glue is as effective as covering the neourethra with a de-epithelialized foreskin flap.

Introduction. Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computing technologies that simulate human intellectual processes. The use of AI in the near future will contribute to the widespread introduction of telemedicine technologies into practice. Materials and methods. The authors analyzed publications in PubMed and in the Electronic Scientific Library for the keywords  oncology ,  urology ,  cancer urology ,  artificial intelligence . In PubMed, out of 127 articles that met the queries, 32 publications were selected, in the Electronic Scientific Library 3 articles were selected. Results. In kidney cancer, CT texture analysis with support vector method (SVM) can be considered promising; in order to predict the recurrence of bladder cancer, machine learning algorithms (support vector method) are used to identify the recurrence of bladder cancer by detecting urine micro-RNA. In order to reduce unnecessary biopsies based on clinical characteristics, an artificial neural network has been developed to predict the presence of prostate cancer. Conclusion. Artificial intelligence methods are constantly evolving, the range of their application in the field of oncourology is expanding. In the near future, we are not talking about replacing traditional methods, but in addition to them, artificial intelligence can provide more information about the patient. For the widespread introduction of these methods, mechanisms for overseeing the safety and efficiency of artificial intelligence algorithms should be developed. More research is needed to clinically and statistically compare the results obtained with AI with those obtained using traditional methods.

Introduction. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is the method of choice for the treatment of patients with kidney stones larger than 2 cm. Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PNL) became widespread due to reduction of injury associated with surgical approach. Creation of puncture access to the pelvicalyceal system without ureteral catheterization is also recently described. The main benefits of such technique are reduction of total operative time and the radiation exposure to the patient and medical personnel. The results of using mini-PNL without prior ureteral catheterization remain insufficiently studied, which predetermined the goal of our study. Purpose. Compare the efficacy and duration of mini-PCNL with and without ureteral catheterization. Materials and methods. We analyzed the treatment outcomes of 111 patients with a single kidney stone. Group I included 60 patients who underwent mini-PCNL according to the standard technique. Group II included 51 patients who underwent mini-PCNL without prior catheterization of the ureter. The average stone size was 19.2 0.92 mm and 18.6  0.93 mm in groups I and II, respectively. The puncture of the pyelocaliceal system of the kidney was performed under X-ray control and US guidance using the free-hand technique. Results. In group I, complete elimination of the stone was achieved in 55 (92%) patients and the mean duration of the operation was 108,3 34,85 min (range: 60 to 210). In group II, complete elimination of the stone was achieved in 50 (90%) patients and the mean duration of the operation was 69,7 22 min (range: 25 to 120 min). In all cases, the severity of complications did not exceed grade II according to Clavien classification, and their rate was 6,7% and 5,9% in group I and group II, respectively. Conclusions. According to the results of the study, the compared groups did not differ in their post-operative complication and stone-free rates. Avoidance of routine ureteral catheterization significantly reduces the operation time and hence the anesthetic risk and radiation load.

Authors:   Stavropol State Medical University, Derevyanko T.I. ,   Stavropol, Russia, Pridchin S.V. ,   Stavropol State Medical University; Stavropol, Russia
Published: July 2021

Introduction. Statistically, adult patients with testicular infarction make up 7-10% of the population of all acute urological pathology. This is one of the urological nosologies, which is а part of a group of diseases called  acute scrotum . Ischemic heart attack occurs as a result of an acute violation of the blood supply to the testicle from the testicular artery. Hemorrhagic infarction usually occurs as a result of impaired microcirculation or embolization of the arteries and arterioles of the testicle and is most often segmental in nature. Conditions associated with increased blood clotting also create conditions for vein obstruction with subsequent tissue necrosis in any organ, including in the testicles. It is known that COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) causes a pathological increase in blood clotting in the patient's body and it's most dangerous complication is thrombosis in various blood vessels of the patient's organs, which often causes acute ischemia of these organs and even death in patients with COVID 19. Materials and methods. The authors consider 3 similar clinical observations of hemorrhagic testicular infarction in patients suffering from COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) and who were in the specialized COVID department of the city hospital of Pyatigorsk (Russia, Stavropol Territory). All 3 patients were aged from 67 to 88 years and had a concomitant pathology from the cardiovascular system in the form of arterial hypertension, as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus. The authors provide one case in detail, since all 3 cases followed the same clinical scenario. Clinical observation: Patient B. 66 years old, who was in a specialized COVID department with a diagnosis of: Coronovirus infection caused by COVID 19 (confirmed), moderate form of UO7. 1, community-acquired bilateral lobar pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory failure. Concomitant diseases: atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis, arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient received therapy for the underlying disease, but on the 9th day of his stay in the hospital, he had an acute hemorrhagic infarction of the left testicle. The diagnosis was confirmed by laboratory and instrumental examination. An emergency left-sided orchectomy was performed, and the diagnosis was confirmed histologically. Similar clinical situations were observed in two other patients with the same outcome. Conclusions. Hemorrhagic testicular infarction in patients with COVID-19 in our clinical observation can be considered as a complication of COVID-19, or as its clinical manifestation in the organs of the male reproductive system.
Study the Effect of Inductor and Pole Geometry on the Surface Roughness and Material Removal Weight Using Magnetic Abrasive Finishing Method
Authors: Mahdi Basma Luay , Kadhum Ali H.
Published: July 2021

The traditional finishing method cannot keep up with recent labor market requirements, solve the problem of increasing production, improve the surface roughness and accuracy of workpiece. While the unconventional magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) method has shown as a promising technique that can be used to finish complicated surfaces. MAF finishes metals, alloy, ceramic, and other materials that are difficult to finish by other processes. In another word, MAF improves the quality of surfaces with low cost.

This paper focuses on optimize and study the effect of inductor and pole geometry (radius of hole, angle of core, angle of pole, radius of pole), on (surface roughness (Ra) and material removal weight (W)) and fined the optimum values that increase the efficiency of MAF method. Taguchi method employed to study the influence of geometry parameters and find the optimum values using orthogonal array L9. The results conclude that the most significant factor that effects change in surface roughness (ΔRa) and material removal weight(ΔW) are radius of the hole (R) and angle of core (α), respectively.

Authors: Abass Haider Ali , Jarallah Husain Khalaf
Published: July 2021

In this study, previous researches were reviewed in relation to the seismic evaluation and retrofitting of an existing building. In recent years, a considerable number of researches has been undertaken to determine the performance of buildings during the seismic events. Performance based seismic design is a modern approach to earthquake resistant design of reinforcement concrete buildings. Performance based design of building structures requires rigorous non-linear static analysis. In general, nonlinear static analysis or pushover analysis was conducted as an efficient instrument for performance-based design. Pushover analysis came into practice after 1970 year.  During the seismic event, a nonlinear static analysis or pushover analysis is used to analyze building under gravity loads and monotonically increasing lateral forces. These building were evaluated until a target displacement reached. Pushover analysis provides a better understanding of buildings seismic performance, also it traces the progression of damage and failure of structural components of buildings.

Published: July 2021

The study aims to analyze modern scientific approaches to multicultural education of autochthons, migrants, and foreign students to assess the real state and prospects of such education development in Russia. The 2019 RPORC (Russian Public Opinion Research Center) survey “Higher education: in Russia or abroad?” was used in the study. A total of 1,600 respondents took part in the study. Based on the Pareto Optimality principle, a model of an integrated multicultural education process has been developed. Survey data analysis has shown that for the majority of Russians (78%) it is not important whether their children/grandchildren will receive higher education abroad. Russian society has a tolerant attitude towards domestic and world educational systems. The practical application of the research results is possible with the improvement of training programs, the exchange of international experience and further research into the problems of multicultural education development.

Authors: Sithas Mohamed , Surangi HAKNS
Published: July 2021

This paper presents a systematic review of the literature on ethnic minority entrepreneurship. A total of 174 articles converging on ethnic minority entrepreneurship, published between 2010 and 2020, were investigated. This paper extends existing knowledge of the sub-areas in ethnic minority entrepreneurship research by focusing on two different angles. Firstly, Citation analysis was performed to review research papers to recognize and classify the key areas of ethnic minority entrepreneurship currently being focused on and examined by the research community. Secondly, Thematic analysis was executed to discover the specific themes that are being researched. The study found seven different themes: immigrant studies, ethnic entrepreneurial motivations, ethnic startup process, motives of ethnic business success, failure factors of ethnic businesses, ethnic unique challenges, and favourite strong ties of ethnic minorities were identified as main themes. The number of research gaps identified should encourage novel paths and scopes in the ethnic minority entrepreneurship research field to fill these gaps in the literature.

A doença de Fabry (DF) tem origem genética ligada ao X e entra na classificação das doenças de depósitos lisossômicos. Sua prevalência varia de 1:40.000 a 1:117.000, dependendo da população estudada. Existem duas formas de apresentação: a clássica e a não clássica. A primeira caracteriza-se por manifestações sistêmicas e precoces, tais como dor neuropática, córnea verticilata, angioqueratomas, insuficiência renal, hipertrofia miocárdica, arritmia cardíaca e acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). A segunda, também conhecida como a forma tardia, apresenta-se com manifestação em um único órgão, como os rins e o coração, sendo a cardiomiopatia hipertrófica o principal diagnóstico diferencial da variante cardíaca da DF. Existe uma grande lacuna entre o início dos sintomas e o diagnóstico da DF, sendo este de fundamental importância para que o tratamento, quando indicado, seja iniciado o mais breve possível. Com o advento do tratamento específico, inicialmente com terapia de reposição enzimática (TRE) e a seguir com chaperona por via oral, a história natural desses pacientes vem sendo modificada.

A genética cardiovascular tem apresentado rápida evolução nas últimas décadas. Seu papel na avaliação das cardiomiopatias e das doenças raras tem sido crescente, especialmente depois da incorporação do sequenciamento de última geração, que determina maior sensibilidade dos testes genéticos. Esse avanço permite entender melhor as alterações moleculares de diferentes doenças, aumenta a possibilidade de definição do diagnóstico mais preciso de cardiomiopatias anteriormente classificadas como idiopáticas e permite aconselhamento mais individualizado e preciso aos pacientes e familiares com essas doenças. A aplicação dos testes genéticos é particularmente importante na avaliação das cardiomiopatias hereditárias, tais como cardiomiopatia hipertrófica, cardiomiopatia arritmogênica, cardiomiopatia restritiva e miocárdio não compactado. Além disso, a maior disponibilidade da realização de painéis genéticos em laboratórios comerciais permite a expansão de seu uso no manejo de pacientes com suspeita de cardiomiopatia hereditária. Em algumas doenças, como por exemplo amiloidose cardíaca, o sequenciamento genético permite a diferenciação entre amiloidose por transtirretina familiar e “selvagem”, o que pode ter impacto inclusive do ponto de vista terapêutico, uma vez que estudos recentes confirmam o benefício do início precoce de terapêutica direcionada para essa doença. Portanto, fica evidente o benefício em potencial de se expandir o conhecimento acerca da genética cardiovascular. Nesta revisão, reunimos dados do papel da cardiogenética nas doenças raras, especialmente no manejo das cardiomiopatias e as principais recomendações das diretrizes vigentes.

A Síndrome de Eisenmenger (SE) é uma doença rara que exige tratamento interdisciplinar, caracterizada por hipertensão pulmonar associada a alterações cardiovasculares de forma congênita. A literatura tem pouca informação sobre a abordagem interdisciplinar entre odontologia e cardiologia no suporte a indivíduos com SE. Portanto, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar, através de uma revisão integrativa, a abordagem odontológica em indivíduos com SE. Realizou-se pesquisa estruturada com os seguintes termos: “((dentistry) OR (Dental) OR (dental management) OR (dental care) AND (Eisenmenger syndrome))”, utilizando para a busca as bases de dados PUBMED e SCOPUS. A busca gerou 32 artigos, dos quais após aplicados os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram analisados 7 que mencionavam algum tipo de atendimento odontológico em indivíduos com SE. Os resultados mostraram somente relatos de casos clínicos, que trouxeram informações sobre o atendimento odontológico sempre com decisão conjunta entre cirurgião-dentista e o médico cardiologista. Foram apresentadas as alterações bucais e os riscos cardiológicos associados e o manejo clínico interdisciplinar nesse grupo de pacientes. Concluiu-se que a ação interdisciplinar no atendimento e suporte clínico aos pacientes com SE exigem conhecimentos específicos sobre a doença e a abordagem especial que proporcionará o manejo o mais seguro possível além de qualidade de vida e da condição bucal.
Effective Bandwidth Estimation in Data Networks: An Analysis for Two Traffic Characterizations
Authors: Bavio José , Fernández Carina , Marrón Beatriz
Published: July 2021

The Generalized Markov Fluid Model (GMFM) is assumed for modeling sources in the network because it is versatile to describe the traffic fluctuations. In order to estimate resources allocations or in other words the channel occupation of each source,the concept of effective bandwidth (EB) proposed by Kelly is used. In this paper we use an expression to determine the EB for this model which is of particular interest because it allows expressing said magnitude depending on the parameters of the model.This paper provides EB estimates for this model applying Kernel Estimation techniques in data networking.In particular we will study two differentiated cases:dispatches following a Gaussian and Exponential distribution.The performance of the proposed method is analyzed using simulated traffic traces generated by Monte Carlo Markov Chain algorithms.The estimation process worked much better in the Gaussian distribution case than in the Exponential one.
IIMPLEMENTATION OF LEGAL CERTAINTY ON COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF IJARAH MUNTAHIYA BITTAMLIK & RENTAL CONTRACT
Authors: Huda Moh. Nurul , Lubis Muhammad Ridwan
Published: July 2021

In recent times, it has become common among the public regarding the Ijarah Muntahiya Bittamlik (IMBT) contract. IMBT is a contract similar to a lease and purchase agreement. In practice in the community, these two contracts are carried out by means of renting first and ending with buying and selling. Although, in general they have similarities, these two agreements have differences that have different consequences. The research method used in this study is doctrinal legal research with a comparative law approach. The results of this study indicate that the IMBT contract has more legal certainty than the lease-purchase agreement. This is because the IMBT contract has provisions regulated in the Sharia Banking Law, the Sharia Economic Law Compilation, and PSAK No. 107 concerning Ijarah and IMBT accounting, while the lease purchase agreement is only based on the principle of freedom of contract. The implementation of the IMBT contract also has more legal certainty, considering that dispute resolution efforts can be carried out through the provisions of Article 283 and Article 284 of the KHES by carrying out sales of the disputed object. This is different from a lease-purchase agreement, where dispute resolution efforts are generally carried out through unilateral withdrawals and the agreement also contains standard clauses that have the potential to violate Article 18 of the Consumer Protection Law.
ILLEGAL LAND GRAB: ISRAEL'S SEIZURE OF LAND IN PALESTINE
Authors: Shatat Saleh Raed , Victoria Ong Argo
Published: July 2021

Since 1967, each Israeli government has invested significant resources in establishing and expanding the settlements in the Occupied Territories, both in terms of the area of land they occupy and in terms of population. As a result of this policy, approximately 380,000 Israeli citizens now live on the settlements on the West Bank, including those established in East Jerusalem (this report does not relate to the settlements in the Gaza Strip). During the first decade following the occupation, the Ma'arach governments operated on the basis of the Alon Plan, which advocated the establishment of settlements in areas perceived as having "security importance," and where the Palestinian population was sparse (the Jordan Valley, parts of the Hebron Mountains and Greater Jerusalem). After the Likud came to power in 1977, the government began to establish settlements throughout the West Bank, particularly in areas close to the main Palestinian population centers along the central mountain ridge and in western Samaria. This policy was based on both security and ideological considerations. The political process between Israel and the Palestinians did not impede settlement activities, which continued under the Labor government of Yitzhak Rabin (1992-1996) and all subsequent governments. These governments built thousands of new housing units, claiming that this was necessary to meet the "natural growth" of the existing population. As a result, between 1993 and 2000 the number of settlers on the West Bank (excluding East Jerusalem) increased by almost 100 percent.
On the Indicative Imperfect and the Other Tenses in -eɾ of the Armenian Dialect of Urmia
Historical and Typological Aspects of a Morphological Innovation
Authors: Scala Andrea
Published: July 2021

In the Armenian dialect of Urmia (Northern Iran), the indicative imperfect displays a very innovating inflection, based on the addition of the morpheme ‘-eɾ’ (properly the imperfect 3s of the verb ‘to beʼ) to the indicative present. This morpheme of ‘remotenessʼ creates opposition between other tenses as well, such as perfect and pluperfect, future and past future. The article deals with the reconstruction of the origin and diffusion of this innovating morpheme in the verbal system of the Armenian dialect of Urmia, focusing both on endogenous morphological dynamics and on the role of language contact with Turkic varieties as a trigger of this morphological change.

The present essay, beginning with Catholic press and various authors known in the sector of Missiology, underlines a connection between Song Meiling and Mission in general, particularly the Catholic ones. This work aims at adding a further piece to complete the already well-known Song Meiling’s career, after her marriage to Chiang Kai-shek. Further on, it will be clearly underlined the way she managed to established relationships with representatives of Missions, both Catholic and Protestant, thanks to the reform movement “New Life”, which brought Chinese people closer to Christian values. All this was possible by starting from the family dimension, thus enhancing the link between civil and religious society. Song Meiling’s strong point was the way she promoted social inclusion of the religious confessions, especially of the Catholic Missions, through solidarity initiatives, considering the religious community on the same level as the social community. This was a factor of potential development for the Church in China.

Authors: Kojima Takuya , Mariotti Marcella
Published: July 2021

Associations of teachers of Japanese play an indispensable role in assisting not only teachers but also learners and impacting society by offering resources and opportunities for the growth of in-service teachers and pre-service teachers such as postgraduate students. Enhancing the quality of the resources and opportunities is expected to become effective when they know each other, learn from each other and work together. For this purpose, the Association of Japanese Language Teachers in Europe hosted a summit where the representatives of 22 European countries gathered to discuss the current and the future of Japanese language education in Europe. The aim of the current report is to present general but up-to-date information about the teachers, learners, institutions, associations, and features and challenges of each country. Furthermore, this report will illustrate the key discussions of the summit on the challenges and the possible actions for the viable future of Japanese language education in Europe. The Authors hope to contribute to creating the reference points for larger future studies on such associations while reflecting on the impact the summit possibly had.

The issue presents the results of studies of methods for increasing the corrosion resistance of fuel claddings made from zirconium alloy E110, performed at the SRC RF TRINITI, using coatings (Al, Al2O3, Cr) by pulsed laser deposition, as well as magnetron sputtering and galvanic deposition of chromium. Also presented some results of studies of adhesion, microstructure and corrosion resistance of chromium coatings deposited by various methods. It was revealed that the corrosion resistance of the cladding of fuel rods with chrome coatings at temperatures of 1100 – 1200 °С practically does not depend on the method of their application. However, the coating method has a significant effect on their adhesion, with coatings obtained by atomic deposition methods and characterized by a continuous uniform structure have the greatest adhesion. The depth of oxidation of the outer surface of the cladding of a fuel rod when applying a chromium coating decreases by an average of 30 times for sponge-based alloy E110.

Powders of catalysts from aluminides Fe and Co on a SiO2 support (33.3 wt. %) were obtained by mechano-thermal synthesis. The formation of large powder fractions (> 100 μm) was experimentally established. The fractions of these fractions for Fe – Al – SiO2 and Co – Al – SiO2 respectively amounted to ~ 43 % and ~ 55 %, which is a positive result for further catalytic studies. After annealing the powders at 700 and 900 °C in vacuum, the SiO2 support and compounds: Co27Al73 (close in composition to CoAl3, Co4Al13 type intermetallic compounds), Fe3Al intermetallic compound with iron silicide type Fe0.9Si0.1 and compound Al0,3Fe3Si0.7 in small volumes. On the synthesis of cobalt aluminides, a conclusion has been made about more efficient annealing at 900 °C than at 700 °C. For Fe – Al – SiO2 powders, it is advisable to anneal in the temperature range 700 – 750 °C with the assumption that the SiO2 support influences the thermosynthesis of iron aluminides. An experimental analysis of the morphology and elemental composition of the surface of the obtained samples is presented. It was found that the catalyst powders have medium sphericity and angularity. Fe – Al – SiO2 powders have a more developed surface than Co – Al – SiO2. Lower intermetallics are predominantly formed on the surface of the Co – Al – SiO2 sample. The correction of the mechanical alloying modes by means of the fragmentation of the process, changes in the intensity of its parameters, and various annealing conditions for Co – Al – SiO2 and Fe – Al – SiO2 are proposed.

The influence of additives of nanofillers (NF) containing nanoparticles of copper oxides stabilized by a polymer matrix of high-pressure polyethylene (PE) obtained by the mechanochemical method on the structure and properties features of metal-containing nanocomposites based on isotactic polypropylene (PP) and butadiene-nitrile rubber (BNK) is studied by X-ray phase (XRD) and differential thermal analyses(DTA). The improvement of strength, deformation and rheological parameters, as well as thermal-oxidative stability of the obtained nanocomposites was revealed, which, apparently, is associated with the synergistic effect of interfacial interaction of copper-containing nanoparticles in the PE matrix with the components of the PP/BNK polymer composition. It is shown that nanocomposites based on PP/BNK/NF can be processed both by pressing method and by injection molding and extrusion methods, which expands the scope of its application.
