Published: May 2022

The article is devoted to the systematization of the main modern methods of using reverberation in sound engineering and methodological bases of its use in the educational process in higher education institutions. Scientific novelty is to clarify the classification and systematization of the main modern methods of using artificial reverberation, as well as methodological principles of mastering artificial reverberation in the process of training. The purpose of the article is to systematize the main modern methods of using reverberation in sound engineering. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: system-analytical, art history and comparative-historical. The main results and conclusions of the research. The evolution of digital technologies in the field of sound engineering, the introduction of reverberation algorithms have greatly contributed to the expansion of the use of artificial reverberation in sound engineering. The article briefly describes "convolutional" reverberation as one that operates with the most modern reverberation algorithm. Currently, a variety of effective methods of artificial reverberation using has been developed in sound engineering, which can be used to implement various creative tasks. The article describes the methods of using artificial reverberation for sound perspective creating; for back-vocal processing; for delay processing; for "softening" the sound of individual parts of musical instruments; for different signals of the same type processing; for solo batch processing using two reverb effects. Some types of artificial reverberation were used at different stages of the music industry development. The current state of software development allows the use of several reverb algorithms simultaneously, making it possible to create original sounds. In the process of mastering of various methods of using artificial reverberation by higher education students, it is best to start their acquaintance with artificial reverberation from the simplest reverberation effects, which can be implemented in "analog" effects processor, in which only some parameters vary based on the manufacturer's algorithms. Further mastering of artificial reverberation should be carried out through software (in particular, free VST-plugins of artificial reverberation) used in digital audio workstations (DAW).

The Optics example demonstrates how to describe an object, create an array, process it, and one way to implement dynamic constructions in Pascal in Delphi. GRAPH uses the Dijkstri algorithm. The essence of this algorithm is to find the shortest paths from the initial vertex to all the others. The program forms an array of distances to each of the vertices. The distance to vertices that are in another component of connectivity is defined as infinity. PhysHelper was created using basic tools such as JavaScript (Electron framework and p5 and KaTeX libraries), HTML and CSS. The selection of selected technologies and approaches is substantiated.
PAUL B. ANDERSON AND THE 1956 DELEGATION OF US CHURCH LEADERS TO MOSCOW
Authors:   University of Northwestern–St., Miller Matthew Lee
Published: May 2022

Paul B. Anderson (1894–1985) stood out as a leading Western advocate for Orthodox Christians in the USSR. In March 1956 Anderson traveled to Moscow as a key member of a delegation representing the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA for meetings with leaders of several Christian church bodies. He acted based on knowledge of Orthodox history and Soviet politics and was the only Russian-speaker in the US delegation. He took a moderate, balanced, and diplomatic approach – avoiding both the uncritical celebration of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) or the condemnation of the church’s leaders due to their cooperation with the government. The Moscow visit, and the visit to the US that followed, contributed to a strengthening of ties among these church organizations and the 1961 entry of the ROC into the World Council of Churches. However, the meetings also illustrated the challenges of engaging in church activism during the post-Stalin era. This account demonstrates the significant contribution of Anderson to the building of informed and constructive connections among the believers of the US and USSR.

FOREIGN POLICY DECISION MAKING IN THE UNITED STATES ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE TRADE WAR WITH CHINA (2018–2020)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Romanov Roman R.
Published: May 2022

The article studies the development and implementation process of the US trade strategy towards the People’s Republic of China in 2018–2020. The author tries not only to describe the state of things but thoroughly analyze the peculiarities of the decision-making procedure in trade during Donald Trump’s tenure. The President was a hardliner and thought that maximum pressure would force Beijing to make concessions. We can discern two aspects which have decreased that strategy’s efficiency. First, Trump’s persona has destabilized the diplomatic process. Inconsistency and ever-changing rhetoric have deepened the crisis in the Sino-American relations. Second, right from the beginning, the president did not understand the way the decision-making process worked. The formation of the team in charge of trade took almost a year. In the end, a special group was set up; it managed to elaborate a plan of coordination with the PRC and also secure the Congress support. However, it was unable to establish a regular communication system with the president, who even during the negotiations was openly contradicting the official position of the US delegation. Thus, despite a relatively efficient decision-making system (from a structural standpoint: advisors, cooperation with the Congressional Committees), Trump turned out to be inept to develop a long-term strategy to regulate the commercial relations between the USA and the PRC.
THE ROLE OF IRANIAN SOVEREIGN ORGANIZATIONS IN STRENGTHENING TRADE AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA
Authors:   Astrakhan State University, Haghbin Mohsen
Published: May 2022

One of the economic priorities of the governments of the Islamic Republic of Iran was the strong commercial relations with Russia at different periods of time. The accession of Iran to the Eurasian Economic Union will open new opportunities for Iran’s economy. However, Tehran should enhance its economic diplomacy with other countries, especially its neighbors. Russian Federation is a world power as well as the most important northern neighbor of Iran. Because Russia is one of the UN council’s five veto-wielding permanent members, Iranian authorities are seriously considering Moscow in the policy of orientation to the East within the framework of strategic unification. Earlier, this was seriously pushed by the US withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal. In recent years, Iran’s economy has been eroded by The US sanctions, and it is still experiencing serious difficulties. Undoubtedly, the implementation of macroeconomic policy within the framework of strategic goals requires a clear consensus in the power structures of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This goal seems to be achieved with the election of Ibrahim Raisi as president of Iran. This article examines the role and capabilities of Iranian sovereign organizations and independent of the government with enormous economic potential and close to the core of power, which are important for the development of economic relations with Russia. The author believes that these organizations, having the appropriate characteristics and capabilities, can largely implement the long-term target programs of the Iranian state within the framework of a strategic association with the Russian Federation.
The Feasibility Study of Reservoir Geomechanics from Brittleness Evaluation
Authors: Nababan Benyamin Elilaski , Hutami Harnanti Yogaputri , Fatkhan Fatkhan
Published: May 2022

A detailed understanding regarding the rocks Brittleness Index is helpful in oil and gas exploration as upfront information to determine the rock fracture gradient. Researchers have proposed several methods to estimate the rock Brittleness Index. However, different ways may yield different results and lead to varying interpretations regarding the Brittleness Index classifi cation. This paper evaluates the Brittleness Index of an Indonesian gas well using three approaches based on the elastic properties log data, elastic properties rock physics modeling, and mineralogical rock physics modeling to assess the consistency of the methods. The results obtained in this study suggest that elastic properties-based and mineralogical methods produced a consistent Brittleness Index. However, the vertical resolution is different. It indicates that the Brittleness Index estimated from the actual log data showed higher resolution than the Brittleness Index calculated from the rock physics modeling. Combining TOC data with the Brittleness Index is recommended to optimize hydraulic fracturing design and planning. For further investigation, the authors will be suggesting direct sampling from cores and laboratory measurements to obtain the in-situ mechanical properties of shale rocks.

A Case Study of Primary and Secondary Porosity Effect for Permeability Value in Carbonate Reservoir using Differential Effective Medium and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Method
Authors: Wardhana Reza , Yasutra Amega , Irawan Dedy , Haidar Mochammad Wahdanadi
Published: May 2022

Pore system in a carbonate reservoir is very complex compared to the pore system in clastic rocks. According to measurements of the velocity propagation of sonic waves in rocks, there are three types of carbonate pore classifi cations: Interpartikel, Vugs and Crack. Due to the complexity of various pore types, errors in reservoir calculation or interpretation might occur. It was making the characterization of the carbonate reservoir more challenging. Differential Effective Medium (DEM) is an elastic modulus modeling method that considers the heterogeneity of pores in the carbonate reservoir. This method adds pore-type inclusions gradually into the host material to the desired proportion of the material. In this research, elastic modulus modeling will be carried out by taking into account the pore complexity of the carbonate reservoir. ANFIS algorithm will also be used in this study to predict the permeability value of the reservoir. Data from well logging measurements will be used as the input, and core data from laboratory will be used as train data to validate prediction results of permeability values in the well depths domain. So, permeability value and pore type variations in the well depth domain will be obtained.

Published: May 2022

Nampol Formation of the Southern Mountains of eastern Java (Indonesia) has a distribution from its type location in Pacitan to the South Malang area. In the research area, this formation consists of clastic limestone with black shale inserts, claystone, siltstone, carbonate sandstone and claystone which are interpreted to be deposited in a restricted platform interior environment with closed water circulation. A total of three samples were analyzed to evaluate the organic matter content, kerogen type, thermal maturity, and hydrocarbon generating potential. Samples were taken from clastic carbonate deposits of the Nampol Formation. Based on the results of geochemical analysis, the three samples from the Nampol Formation have a TOC content of 3.48 - 26.18 wt% and possess good to excellent hydrocarbon generating potential. Hydrogen Index (HI) values for the studied samples ranged from 43 to 86 mg HC/g TOC and S1+S2 results ranged from 1.52 to 19.55 mg HC/g rock, indicating that the sample has the potential to produce gas. All three samples were dominated by Type III kerogen and were thus considered gas prone based on the HI vs. Tmax diagrams. The three samples were categorized as thermally immature based on Tmax pyrolysis analysis and Vitrinite Refl ectance (VR) values in the range of 0.44 to 0.46 % Ro. Based on the results obtained, the black shale and coal in the Nampol Formation has the capability to generate hydrocarbon but are considered as an immature source rock that can be predicted to produce gas at its peak maturity.

Históricamente se ha utilizado helio para el llenado de globos flotantes. El helio es uno de los elementos más livianos de la tabla periódica; por tratarse de un gas noble, es inerte, no inflamable, no tóxico y, por esto, efectivo y seguro para el llenado de este tipo de globos decorativos. No obstante, es muy costoso y en ocasiones de difícil consecución, lo que hace que negociantes inescrupulosos lo reemplacen con hidrógeno. El hidrógeno es el elemento químico más liviano y también proporciona la propiedad al globo de elevarse, pero es altamente sensible al calor e inflamable. Se han descrito numerosos accidentes, quemaduras e incluso muertes por el estallido de globos inflados con hidrógeno. Este reporte nos hace reflexionar acerca de la importancia del manejo responsable de actos tan cotidianos como el tener un globo flotante en manos de nuestros hijos.

Ninety-nine genotypes from an association mapping panel comprising landraces, exotic genotypes, and improved varieties were evaluated for leaf and yield traits in rice. The data of plant height, number of leaves, single leaf area, single-leaf weight, leaf mass area, leaf area index (LAI), leaf angle, yield, and biomass were subjected to analysis of variance that showed significant differences among the genotypes. The genetic variability among the genotypes and the co-efficient of variation was high for all the traits analyzed except leaf mass area with 17.47%. A high coefficient of variation was recorded in the number of leaves and grain yield per plant with 42.68 and 38.55%, respectively. Frequency distribution for these traits showed that the genotypes in the category of 4 to 12 LAI fall in the category of 30 to 90g of grain yield. Most of the traits showed symmetrical skewness and mesokurtic distribution.Besides, the correlation coefficient of LAI had a significantly positive correlation with leaf mass per area, leaf numbers, and biomass, indicating the importance of the leaf area index in determining yield and biomass. Furthermore,single leaf area hada significant positive association with leaf angle, single-leaf weight, and plant heightand a negative correlation with leaf numbers and leaf mass area.The results revealed the highest genetic variability and association between two or more variables among this rice germplasm. These genotypes could act as a reservoir of variation that could possibly be utilized for improving specific traits in crop improvement programs
Contribution of the quality costs to sustainable development
Authors: Tomov Mite , Velkoska Cvetanka
Published: May 2022

This paper presents a framework of contemporary quality costs concept contributing to a more sustainable society regarding an integrated view of quality costs in all phases of the product life cycle (engineering, production, use, and end-of-life) by all stakeholders in the supply chain. The development of this framework is viewed through the complementarity of the sustainability dimensions and the circular economy concept understood as a waste management concept, which represents a solid basis for the development of a novel approach to understanding quality costs which, in turn, reflects the sustainable quality concept. By providing sustainable criteria (economic, environmental, and social) as an integral part of the quality costs concept, this framework will improve the sustainability performance in the early phases of product design, increase the added value of the products and the duration of the added value, and strengthen the responsibility of all stakeholders beyond the limits of their organizational processes. This will inevitably lead to changes to the quality cost structure, dominated by new quality costs elements which reflect sustainability. This research demonstrates the findings that should support the setting the theoretic assumptions for the development of a sustainable quality cost generic model.

Published: May 2022

Исследовано влияние нагрузки и скорости скольжения на износостойкость сплава NiTi в мартенситном и аустенитном состояниях при сухом трении по схеме шар-диск. Температуры мартенситного превращения сплава и механизм износа анализировали с использованием дифференциальной калориметрии, сканирующей электронной микроскопии и энергодисперсионного спектрометрического анализа. Установлено, что при увеличении нагрузки коэффициент трения снижается на ~40 %, а скорость скольжения оказывает меньшее и неоднозначное влияние на характеристики трения сплава NiTi. Показано, что при всех режимах трения аустенитная фаза имеет меньшую скорость износа по сравнению с мартенситной.

Изучены физические и механические свойства композитов, полученных армированием медной матрицы частицами порошка Gr (графита), Ti, SiC и B4C. Определены плотность и пористость композитов после компактирования и спекания, а также твердость, структура и предел прочности на сжатие полученных образцов. Установлено, что плотность композитов меньше, чем у чистой меди, как после компактирования, так и после спекания. При этом после спекания плотность меди и композитов Cu - 10 % Ti, Cu - 10 % SiC и Cu - 10 % B4C увеличивается, а композита Cu - 10 % Gr снижается. Армирование медной матрицы частицами Ti и B4C повышает механические свойства композитов, а армирование графитом и SiC снижает.

Nationalism in the Poetry of Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Walt Whitman: A Comparative Literary Analysis of I Hear America Singing and Tarana-I-Hindi
Authors: Sohail Aamir , Khan Muhammad Zawar
Published: May 2022

This paper is based on the comparative study of the two poets, Allama Muhammad Iqbal from Pakistan and Walt Whitman from America as nationalistic poets of their specific age. Nationalism was a common theme in most of their works. These two poets belonged to different geographical social cultural and religious backgrounds but they have some similarities as well as differences. Allama Muhammad Iqbal was famous for the fan Islamist and he was considered as the Muslim nationalist of their time throughout the world while Walt Whitman was famous for American nationalism and democracy. All the time he speaks about the superiority of the American I have used the variation theory of comparative literature presented by changing Cao for the purpose to compare and contrast the work of two different for similarity as well as difference and another framework I will use comparative cultural studies presented by Totsy Zepetnek in my research.

Published: May 2022

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecologic cancers of the female reproductive system. Its incidence and mortality are currently increasing. Patients with early-stage EC have a much better prognosis than those with late-stage EC. Therefore, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment are critical to improving the outcome for EC patients. The proposition of molecular classification promotes the individualization for diagnosis and treatment of EC. TCOF1 has been identified as an oncogenic gene in several tumors but has been seldom studied in EC. Methods: TCGA and immunohistochemistry (IHC) experiments were performed to verify the protein level of TCOF1 expressed in endometrial cancer while its prognostic ability in EC patients was assessed by the TCGA database. Linked Omics database, Web Gestalt gene enrichment, and string database were applied to analyze the possible biological functions of TCOF1 in EC. Mutation types of TCOF1 in EC and its mutation frequency were explored in c-BIOPORTAL. The Relationship between molecules was detected by utilizing the GEPIA database. Results: TCOF1 is up-regulated in endometrial cancer compared to para cancer and it was positively correlated with poor prognosis of patients. TCOF1 is mutated in endometrial cancer and is closely associated with microsatellite instability (MSI), this being one type of molecular classification in EC. Conclusions: TCOF1 may function as a potential biomarker and is associated with molecular classification in endometrial cancer.
