AUTONOMIJA I ODLUČIVANJE ADOLESCENATA
Authors: Imsirovic Fuad
Published: December 2023

U radu autor pokušava teorijski predstaviti različita istraživanja i teorijske analize pitanja razvoja samostalnosti kod adolescenata i spobnosti donošenja odluka. U kontekstu digitalizacije i sve lakšeg pristupa informacijama, a s druge strane sve većeg broja izbora i mogućnosti koji se pred adolescenta postavljaju, važno je teorijski predstaviti koje su to razvojne zakonitosti koje adolecentima olakšavaju ili otežavaju zrelo donošenje odluka, kao i kako razvoj te sposobnosti ovisi od okoline, prije svega roditelja, vršnjaka i društvenih mreža.
Zaključuje se da je razvoj autonomije rezultat kognitivnog sazrijevanja adolescenta, pri čemu oni mogu analitično, metakognitivno i apstraktno pristupati rješavanju problema, predviđati posljedice i razumijevati različite političke odnose, vjerska ubjeđenja, profesionalne ciljeve i druga društvena pitanja. Pored toga, kako autonomija ima svoja tri aspekta (emocionalni, djelatni i sistem vrijednosti), dati su elementi koji olakšavaju donošenje odluke i pravilnog izbora karijere, odnosno fakulteta. Usljed sve češćih negativnih donesenih odluka uslovljenih društvenim mrežama, pokušalo se ukazati da kriza identiteta i podložnost grupama vršnjaka ili interesnim grupama može doprinijeti ovakvom neadekvatnom razvoju sposobnosti odlučivanja.
I na kraju, ponuđene su i neke strategije kojima se olakšava rad s adolescentima generalno, a posebno u kontekstu razvoja autonomije i odlučivanja.

Published: December 2023

The development of social media indicates a new trend where companies use social media for communication and product promotion. By utilizing social media, companies can interact with consumers, making social media communication created by companies an essential element of the company's promotional mix (Poulis et al., 2018). The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of social media communication on brand equity and brand attitude in shaping the purchase intention of Nike products. This research employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis with the assistance of AMOS software, involving a total sample of 223 respondents. The results of this study show that firm-created content and user-generated content have a positive impact on brand equity. User-generated content has a positive effect on brand attitude, while firm-created content does not have a positive effect on brand attitude. Furthermore, brand equity and brand attitude have a positive impact on purchase intention. This study reveals that user-generated communication has a more significant influence on purchase intent through brand equity and brand attitude. Brand equity and brand attitude are crucial factors in the purchase intention of a product.

THE EUROPEAN UNION’S CONFLICT RESOLUTION POLICY IN THE SOUTH CAUCASUS
Authors: SHIRALIYEV Museyib
Published: December 2023

The South Caucasus region has served as a frontier between Western and Eastern civilizations for millennia. The area is rife with conflict due to international borders drawn after the collapse of the Soviet Union, without regard to historical consolidation and international legal reconciliation. The EU’s approach to conflict resolution is underpinned by its political legitimacy and economic power, which enhance its ability to assert its presence in areas of conflict or crisis. However, while there is a desire among the region’s countries for greater engagement with the EU, there is an asynchrony between the Union’s security policy and the expectations of the South Caucasian states, resulting in an inefficient security situation. It seems that the security cacophony in and around the South Caucasus will continue unless there is a transition from neorealist behavior to positive peace and unless all actors change their foreign policy thinking.

Bu çalışma, teknoloji üzerinden yapılan bir kültür, iktisat ve tarih okumasıdır. Heidegger’in modern teknoloji eleştirisinde tekniğe dair yapmış olduğu soruşturmanın iktisadi düşünce tarihi içerisinde nasıl şekillendiğine odaklanmaktadır. Heideggerci anlamda ifade edersek; tekniğe verilen anlam, sahip olunan varlık tasavvuruna/dünya görüşüne göre biçimlenmektedir ve bugünkü çağdaş teknolojinin anlam ve yorumları, prodüksiyonist/üretimci metafizik içerisinde şekillenmiştir. Bu çalışma, Heidegger’in teknoloji tezini temel alarak tekniğin/teknolojinin üretimci bir metafizik içerisinde şekillendiğini ve bunu sağlayan en önemli aracın iktisat (politik ekonomi) olduğunu savunmaktadır. Dolayısıyla teknik, bilim ve iktisat üçlüsünün tarihsel süreçte birbiriyle ilişkileri, birbirlerine bağlılıkları da özetlenecektir. Bu çalışmanın diğer amacı, teknolojik ve bilimsel gelişmelerin “iktisat” ile dünyaya nasıl hakim olduğunun tarihsel seyrini göstermektir.

The objective: to study delays in provision of medical care to pulmonary tuberculosis patients above 15 years old with laboratory confirmation of the diagnosis before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.

Subjects and Methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted among new pulmonary tuberculosis patients above 15 years old with laboratory confirmation of the diagnosis registered by TB Control Centers in Dushanbe in 2019–2021. Information was collected from medical records, medical databases, and patient questionnaires. Two types of delays were detected during the provision of medical care: delays related to the patient (defined as >14 days between onset of tuberculosis symptoms and the first visit to a health unit); delays related to health system (defined as >3 days from the first visit to TB unit to the initiation of tuberculosis treatment).

Results. Of the 472 patients enrolled in the study, 276 were registered during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021) and 196 patients were registered before the pandemic (2019). Frequency of delays was similar (83% vs 82%, p=0.8) during and before the COVID-19 pandemic. The frequency of delay related to health system was statistically significantly lower during the pandemic versus the period before the pandemic (34% vs 44%, p=0.023). The median duration of delays associated to the patient before the pandemic (60 days, IQR: 15–541) and during the pandemic (60 days, IQR: 15–360, р=0.6) was also similar as well as delays related to health system (before the pandemic – 7 days, IQR: 4–336) and during the pandemic (7 days, IQR: 4–225, р=0.6).

Conclusion. Contrary to the expected result, no significant difference in delays related to the patient before and during the pandemic was found, and the frequency of delay related to health system during the pandemic significantly reduced compared to the period before the pandemic.

Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic: Simulation of the Tuberculosis Epidemic as a Function of Population Coverage with Screening
Authors: Starshinova A. A. , Dovgalyuk I. F. , Osipov N. N. , Kudlay D. A.
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the discontinuation of many support programs for tuberculosis patients worldwide, and lower coverage of population with screening for tuberculosis.

The objective: To build a model describing the spread of tuberculosis depending on the population coverage with preventive screening, and to obtain a long-term forecast of the infection spread using this model.

Subjects and Methods. We analyzed official statistical data on incidence, mortality, preventive screening coverage (PSC), and revalence of sputum smear-positive tuberculosis in the Russian Federation from 2008 to 2021. The model was built up based on fluctuations in those rates in 2020, when there was a sharp reduction in tuberculosis control interventions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Statistical analysis was performed using the R Software (v.4.2.1).

Results. A simple mathematical model describing the dependence of incidence and sputum smear-positive tuberculosis in the current year on sputum smear-positive tuberculosis in the past year and population coverage with preventive screening in the current and past years was built up. The adjusted coefficient of determination of the model (adjusted R-squared) was 0.9969, which meant that the model contained almost no random components. It showed that tuberculosis cases missed due to low population coverage with preventive screening lead to future spread of tuberculous infection and a significant increase in the number of new tuberculosis cases. Comparison of projected rates and data for 2022 demontrated correct formation of models. However, the projected rates were slightly higher than the actual rates for 2022 due to the influence of factors other than the population coverage with preventive screening for tuberculosis.

Conclusions. The findings demonstrate the need for mass screening of the population in the context of significant spread of tuberculosis infection for timely detection of patients with sputum smear-positive tuberculosis.

The Self-switching Diodes (SSDs) have been primarily researched and used in low-power device applications for RF detection and harvesting applications. In this paper, we explore the potential of SSDs in high-voltage applications with the usage of Silicon Carbide (SiC) as substrate materials which offers improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption. Optimization in terms of the variation in the interface charges, metal work function, and doping concentration values has been performed by means of a 2D TCAD device simulator. The results showed that the SSD can block up to 600 V of voltage with an optimum interface charge value of 1013 cm-2, making them suitable for higher voltage applications. Furthermore, it also found that the work function of the metal contact affected the forward voltage value, impacting the current flow in the device. Variation in doping concentrations also resulted in higher breakdown voltages and significantly increased forward current, leading to an increased power rating of 27 kW. In conclusion, the usage of 4H-SiC-based SSDs shows a usable potential for high-voltage applications with optimized parameters. The results from this research can facilitate the implementation of SSD in the development of high-power semiconductor devices for various industrial applications.

Published: December 2023

Fe2O3-CNT hybrid thin films are promising candidates for room-temperature gas sensors with high sensitivity, rapid response, and recovery times. In this work, we reported the suitable fabrication strategies of Fe2O3-CNT hybrid thin films as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensors by comparing the dry (without using aqueous solutions) and wet processes. Fe-CNT hybrid thin films were used as the primary material for synthesizing Fe2O3-CNT hybrid thin films, which were then annealed in air at 350oC to create α-Fe2O3. Characterizations by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) confirmed the decoration of α- Fe2O3 nanoparticles on CNT surfaces. The transfer process had effects on the surface morphology and sensor characteristics. FE-SEM presents that the surface morphology of the wet-transfer Fe2O3-CNT films was web-like structures with a highly porous morphology. Whereas the surface morphology of the dry-transferred Fe2O3-CNT films was a branch-like structure. The I-V relationship of both annealed wet- and dry- films was non-linear indicating the present of n-type α- Fe2O3. Under 5 vol.% of LPG, the wet-transferred Fe2O3- CNT films have higher sensitivity (S = ~ 3% Tresp.= 10 s, trec.= 59s) compared to the dry- transferred Fe2O3-CNT films (S = ~ 1.4%, Tresp.=90s, trec.= incomplete recovery). Moreover, the wet-transferred Fe2O3-CNTs could detect LPG concentration at a lower value than 25% of LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) with rapid response and recovery time of 23 s and 49 s, respectively.

Published: December 2023

The present study is on the combination of carbothermal reduction and iodination reaction (carboiodination) process for the phase reduction of ilmenite ore (FeTiO3). The aim is to understand the phase reduction and thermodynamic reaction analysis of ilmenite ore by a combined method of carbothermal-iodination using different carbon reductants (graphite and palm char). Graphite was used as a standard carbon reductant while palm char as a renewable carbon reductant was prepared via the pyrolysis technique. Ilmenite was mixed with carbon reductants and then first reduced by using a carbothermal reduction process at 1550℃. Then, the reduced samples were further investigated with iodination reaction in different temperature ranges of 900-1000 °C using a vertical tube furnace with mixed argon and iodine gas (0.2 L/min). The proximate and ultimate analyses of carbon reductants were analysed by CHON analyser and their microstructure by using SEM, while XRF and XRD were used for analyzing the chemical compositions and the phase reductions of raw ilmenite ore and reduced samples, respectively. The thermodynamics of possible reactions during carbothermal-iodination reactions were calculated by HSC Chemistry 6.0 software. By comparing graphite and palm char, palm char had an amorphous structure, with porous and high carbon content showing high potential for usage as a reductant in titanium extraction from ilmenite ore. The phases of ilmenite ore were ilmenite, rutile, and anatase transformed into rutile, pseudobrookite, and titanium oxide detected by XRD. Further reduction was performed by palm char where more rutile (TiO2) and titanium oxide (Ti3O5) developed from the iodination reaction at the highest temperature compared to graphite due to better properties and amorphous structure. The rutile and titanium oxide were found as stable phases from the thermodynamic analysis and confirmed with XRD. From the findings, the combination of carbothermal-iodination of ilmenite ore was possible and promising for rutile (TiO2) production in mineral extractions.
Influence of Sulfate and Iron Reducing Bacteria on Carbon Steel Corrosion in Marine Environments

Published: December 2023

The current study highlights the corrosion consequences observed in API 5L X65 carbon steel when exposed to a marine-like environment containing carbon dioxide (CO2), in the presence of sulfate- reducing bacteria consortium (C-SRB), iron-reducing bacteria consortium (C-IRB), and a combination of both (C-SRB+C-IRB). The corrosion behaviour was assessed through the utilisation of weight loss and surface analysis techniques. The biofilms and corrosion products were characterised using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and infinite focus microscope (IFM), respectively. The results obtained from the weight loss technique provided confirmation that in the absence of bacteria, uniform corrosion was the prevailing mechanism in the medium. The uniform corrosion rate was found to be 0.95 mm/year, which was higher than the pit penetration rate of 0.28 mm/year. The combined actions of the C-SRB+C-IRB consortium result in a synergistic impact, leading to a significantly higher rate of pit penetration compared to the individual activities of SRB. Specifically, the pit penetration rate value of 2.13 mm/year is observed, which is notably higher than the uniform corrosion rate of 0.59 mm/year. The utilisation of surface analysis techniques has shown evidence of the existence of sulfur on carbon steel samples that were subjected to exposure from the C-SRB+C-IRB consortium in a CO2 environment. This sulphur presence is believed to potentially play a role in the development of the iron sulphide (FeS) layer. FeS presence is a contributing factor to the occurrence of pit corrosion due to the SRB metabolite activities. The activities of these metabolites readily dissolve in the medium, hence altering the chemical interface properties of both the metal and the biofilm. For specimens exposed to C-SRB only, the results obtained were almost identical to exposure to the C- SRB+C-IRB consortium. However, the corrosion rate value measured for the C-SRB+C-IRB consortium was higher due to the synergistic effect of the two bacteria. In conclusion, the presence of C-SRB alone and the consortium of C-SRB+C-IRB in a CO2 environment induces the formation of pitting corrosion. The findings of this study are presumed to contribute a deep understanding of the microbiology-influenced corrosion (MIC) mechanism in CO2 environments troubling the oil and gas industry. With a better understanding of MIC, new and improved corrosion prevention strategies can be put into action.

Published: December 2023

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have superior properties such as high conductivity, good mechanical strength, high specific surface area, and chemical stability. CNFs-graphene hybrid material can be used as a high-quality electrode in electronics applications. In the CNFs on graphene synthesis, the growth parameters must be well controlled. This work observes the evolution of the CNF's growth on graphene on Ni at reaction temperatures of 800oC and 860oC and at different reaction times of 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min. This research aims to find suitable conditions for obtaining controllable growth of CNFs on graphene. Based on the SEM measurement, it was found that the 860oC reaction temperature at 60 min and 120 min reaction time led to longer and smaller widths of CNFs with high coverage and distribution on graphene. The CNFs on graphene formation were confirmed by the XRD analysis.

Published: December 2023

This article presented the thermochemical calculation and experimental investigation on the phase evaluation of ilmenite ore (FeTiO3) via carbothermal reduction and carboiodination reaction for titanium production using graphite as a reducing agent. The carbothermal reduction and carboiodination reactions were performed in two different furnaces. The carbothermal reduction was evaluated at a temperature of 1550°C with inert argon gas utilizing a horizontal tube furnace. The carboiodination reactions were evaluated in temperatures ranging from 900°C, 950°C, and 1000°C using a vertical tube furnace with mixed iodine gas with argon gas. XRF and XRD were used for analyzing the chemical compositions and the phase evolutions of raw ilmenite ore and the reduced samples, respectively. The findings showed that the Perak ilmenite ore predominantly has a greater concentration of TiO2 (71.27wt%), Fe2O3 (18.85wt%), and some other oxides like aluminum oxide and quartz. In addition, XRD revealed that the ilmenite phase was converted into rutile (TiO2) titanium oxide (Ti3O5, Ti2O3), titanium carbide (TiC), and iron (Fe) phases, after the carbothermal reduction process. However, after the carboiodination reaction, the ilmenite and rutile phases remained at temperatures 900°C, 950°C, and 1000°C. The HSC Chemistry software was used in the determination of the thermochemical calculation and the possible reactions during the reaction which play an important role in shortening the reduction process. The results revealed the carboiodination process is a promising process that can reduce energy consumption and shorten the titanium production processes, and it needs more studies.

Published: December 2023

Wire bonding is a connecting technique that uses a combination of temperature, force, ultrasonic power, and time to attach two metallic materials, a wire, and a bond pad. In electronics, gold-aluminium (Au-Al) contact wire bonds are widespread due to corrosion resistance and great conductivity of both metals. However, due to the large contact-potential difference, the intermetallic compound growth at the metal’s interaction boundary has considerably worsened the advantageous properties of Au-Al intermetallic system. This intermetallic exhibit low toughness, and possibly low corrosion resistance, which would result in poor bonding quality. In this work, the materials used are 4x8 aluminium substrates and a 100-meter-long gold wire spool. This study aims to investigate the most optimised set of parameters to be used in Au-Al wire bond system, due to how problematic this system could have towards bonding quality. The experimental array was created using a response surface methodology (RSM)-based design of experiments. The effect of parameters and their significance to bonding quality in the Au-Al bond system were studied using analysis of variance (ANOVA). A correlation model was created for the wire bond strength data. The findings suggest that, within the range of parameters examined, the proposed correlation model can be utilized to predict performance measures. The optimum value of Au-Al wire bond system parameters was established at the time of bond at the first bonding site selected for 300 milliseconds (ms), wire looping height selected for 1200 micrometre (μm), wire bond Y-axis length selected for 996 micrometre (μm), and ultrasonic force at second bonding site selected for 300 milli Newton (mN). The outcomes of this research add to our understanding of the Au-Al wire bonding contact, in addition, to enhancing the wire bond's quality.

Published: December 2023

Em junho de 2021, o caso Lázaro Barbosa chocou o país, após a repercussão de uma família de quatro pessoas que foi assassinada em Ceilândia, no Distrito Federal. Depois do ato, alguns programas policiais na TV Brasileira começaram a cobrir o caso de maneira exagerada. Diante disso, este artigo buscou analisar a cobertura do caso Lázaro Barbosa pelo programa Brasil Urgente da TV Bandeirantes destacando as estratégias com o viés sensacionalista. Entre os objetivos específicos está descrever como o programa manteve no ar a suposta perseguição; identificar traços de sensacionalismo na cobertura jornalística e discutir a novelização do conteúdo jornalístico durante a cobertura do caso. Constata-se que houve novelização do caso durante a cobertura da perseguição a Lázaro Barbosa e que o programa Brasil Urgente foi sensacionalista ao tratar do assunto, com falas moralistas proferidas pelo apresentador e comparações sádicas. Além disso, conclui-se que o programa explorou o caso de forma desproporcional, com programas praticamente inteiros voltados a esta cobertura.

Vakıf medeniyetiyle tanınan Osmanlı toplumunda vakıflar, amaçladıkları hizmetleri gerçekleştirebilmek için farklı yöntemlerle finans temin ederek sosyal hayatın muhtelif sahalarında birçok faaliyet göstermişlerdir. Söz konusu yöntemlerden birisi icâredir. İcâre, bir finans temin yöntemi olarak vakıf taşınmazlarının kullanım ve yararlanma haklarının belirli bir bedel karşılığında başkasına verilmesini sağlamakta ve böylelikle vakfa gelir getirmektedir. Söz konusu icâre yönteminin Osmanlı vakıflarında uygulanışına dair bize en net bilgiyi verecek olan hiç şüphesiz Osmanlı şer‘iyye sicilleridir. Bu makalede, Osmanlı hukuk tarihi araştırmalarında birincil kaynak olan şer‘iyye sicillerinden Bursa sicilleri esas alınmıştır. İncelenen dönemin bütün sicillerini kısıtlı bir süre zarfında okumanın zorluğu sebebiyle döneme dair bir fikrin oluşması için belirli kriterlere göre 9 adet sicil seçilerek incelenmiştir. Sicillerin bir veya birden çok yıla ait olması ve belli bir sene aralığı bulunmaması dolayısıyla 6-30 yıl arasında değişen zaman aralıklarına denk gelecek şekilde seçim yapılmıştır. Seçilen siciller, A-199 numaralı Bursa defterinin içinde bir bölüm olarak yer alan ve Osmanlı’nın günümüze ulaşan en erken tarihli (1455-1456) sicilinden başlayarak XVI. asrın sonuna kadar geçen bir zaman dilimini içermektedir. Bu sicillerde icâreli vakıflarla ilgili tespit edilen kayıtlar tasnif edilip genel olarak icâreli vakıfların tarihi seyri ele alınmış ve vakıfların isimleri, kayıt numaraları ile tarihleri gösterilerek tespit edilen en erken tarihli icâreteynli vakıflar, fıkıh ilmi açısından tahlil edilmiştir.

Published: December 2023

Tin mining in Indonesia has been regulated by Indonesia Law Number 3 of 2020. However, it has not been fully utilized in Indonesia despite the country's abundant tin deposit opportunities, its position as one of the significant producers of tin globally, and the impact on both the global tin stock and price. In light of this, a comprehensive literature review has been carried out; an initial conceptual framework and causal loop diagram of Indonesia’s national tin production planning have been produced to produce the concept of an instrument for setting national tin production quotas and the concept of formulating the distribution of national tin production levels that could be a reference for future researchers as well as Government of Indonesia in order to find the national tin production planning.
Estimation of The Potential of Large Pelagic Fish Fisheries Using Satellite Data in The Banda and Arafura Seas
Authors: Ahkam Muhammad Faqih , Tarya Ayi
Published: December 2023

The Banda and Arafura Sea possesses significant potential for the fisheries and fishing industry in the country. The large pelagic fish production data studied were derived from satellite imagery data in the Banda and Arafura Seas (2002-2022). The data of chlorophyll-a content, sea surface temperature and Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR) derived from AQUA MODIS satellite images were used to estimate the value of primary productivity with the Vertically Generalised Production Model (VGPM). The results showed that the biomass of large pelagic fish fluctuated seasonally, with the Banda Sea and Arafura Sea having high average fish biomass values in the eastern season. With the highest fish biomass peak in August and the lowest in December. The high value of fish biomass in the Banda Sea and Arafura Sea is caused by upwelling events where sea surface temperatures are low but chlorophyll is high. in the Arafura Sea the value of fish biomass is higher than the Banda Sea, this is due to the large amount of nutrient input from large rivers in the area.

Published: December 2023

As instituições de formação acadêmica fornecem aos futuros profissionais de saúde um modelo laboratorial representativo ao encontrado no mercado de trabalho, o que pode causar exposição a agentes potencialmente infecciosos. O presente estudo visou avaliar a contaminação de bancada, equipamentos e materiais de uso rotineiro em ambiente laboratorial de formação acadêmica. Foram coletadas amostras de quatro pontos distintos durante a manipulação e após a limpeza com álcool 70% e hipoclorito a 10% utilizando swab embebido em soro fisiológico, inoculadas em Caldo BHI (Brain Heart Infusion) e incubadas a 37°C em estufa por 24-48 horas. Posteriormente foram semeadas de forma quantitativa em Ágar Cled e qualitativa em Ágar MacConkey e colocadas na estufa por 24-48 horas a 37°C. A identificação das bactérias foi realizada conforme os protocolos utilizados no laboratório de estágio. Em todas as frentes de estágio avaliadas houve o crescimento de microrganismos, com o predomínio de Gram-positivos, entre eles Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus coagulase negativa, Enterococcus e Bacillus spp e uma espécie Gram-negativa a E. coli lactose negativa. Após a assepsia com álcool 70% a carga microbiana foi reduzida, porém ainda presente em três das quatro frentes de estágio analisadas, e após a assepsia com Hipoclorito de sódio a 10% não foram encontrados microrganismos viáveis. Observamos que alguns microrganismos encontrados fazem parte da microbiota normal e do ambiente, e são relacionados também a infecções oportunistas o que demonstra a necessidade de seguir os protocolos de segurança, uso de equipamentos de proteção individual e utilização do Hipoclorito de sódio na limpeza.

When the acoustics are applied to any of the buildings, it produces optimum contingencies for producing and listening to vocals, any instrumental sound or recorded song in any cinema. The planning of acoustical design and construction of the building mainly provides to eradicate the noise level below the permissible level. And due to a regular use of these various instruments like frequency modulations, sci-fi movies, heavy machineries, and vehicles that produces noise, it is essential for contemporary era to improve the acoustical conditions of the building by removing the acoustical defects. This paper will explore the typologies of noise and on the other hand it will showcase the behavior of audible sound, factors that affect the same and common acoustical defects with its remedial actions. A good architectural acoustic design requires an appropriate combination of absorptive, reflective, and diffusive surfaces. Hence, for the better acoustical upshot the construction and implication of sound osmotic and sound reflective materials should be carefully selected and placed. This will lead us to providing a better quality of audio-visual sensations to the viewers and listeners. Optimum planning for acoustics can reduce or completely pulling up by the root defects related to sound which is then so called as acoustical defects.

Облепиховый сок: 10+ полезных свойств вкусного лекарства
Authors: Ткачева Наталья  , Елисеева Татьяна
Published: December 2023

Ярко-желтые ягоды облепихи, как будто облепляющие со всех сторон колючие веточки кустарника, за что растение и получило свое название, имеют приятный кисло-сладкий вкус и своеобразный аромат, отдаленно напоминающие ананас. Именно это вкусовое сходство и подарило плодам еще одно оригинальное имя — Сибирский ананас. А еще это одно из самых богатых на витамины и микроэлементы растений с незапамятных времен и по сей день широко используется в китайской и тибетской медицинах. Ведь в нем целебно буквально все — от корней до семян. Например, кора является богатым источником серотонина, гормона счастья. Его, как утверждают ученые, здесь содержится в 1000 раз больше, чем в бананах или шоколаде! Но не менее ценными являются и плоды растения. Из них отжимают полезный и очень вкусный сок, а из жмыхов готовят целебное облепиховое масло.

Найти сок облепихи можно и на полках современных супермаркетов. Но чаще всего такой напиток содержит сахар и прочие консерванты, что уменьшает его ценность для здоровья. Поэтому для получения максимально полезного фреша его рекомендуется готовить самостоятельно из свежих ягод.
