EVALUATING STRUCTURAL RESILIENCY OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS EMERGENCY SHELTERS IN NATURAL DISASTERS
Authors: Bao Amanda , Arachie Zico , Rodriguez Adriana
Published: October 2023

Public schools are the second largest sector of public infrastructure spending following highways, and there are about 84,000 public schools with 100,000 buildings in the United States. In addition to their primary functions as learning facilities, public schools usually serve an important role as emergency shelters and community resilience hubs during and after natural disasters, such as earthquake, windstorm, and flooding. In order to effectively fulfill the secondary function as emergency shelters, the school infrastructures need to be operational during and after the disasters. However, there are gaps between the existing school building structural capacities and the requirements of essential buildings as emergency shelters. In this paper, a generic 3-story steel framing K-12 school building will be analyzed based on the design loads and load combinations specified in ASCE-7: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. The design loads in ASCE-7 are continuously updated to address the climate changes and new challenges, which will be reflected in the analysis to compare the building design criteria and structural capacities from the past two decades. The structural capacity will be evaluated as an emergency shelter/public assembly (Risk Category IV) during and post disasters, versus a regular school building (Risk Category II or III). Full live loads will be combined with the natural disaster loads to evaluate the school building capacity as a community resiliency hub. The results will be used to assess the structural resilience level of school buildings functioning as emergency shelters in natural disasters.

Authors: Urgessa Girum , Esfandiari Javad
Published: October 2023

The analysis and design of a 4-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame that is subjected to blast loadings derived from an internal explosion experiment was presented as an optimization problem. An innovative algorithm combining multi-criterion decision-making (DM) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Machine learning (ML), called DMPSO-ML, was used for expediting convergence toward the optimum solution. The main objective function in the study included minimizing the cost or mass of the four-story RC frame subjected to blast loadings while simultaneously satisfying all requirements established by building design principles. A blast load emanating from an internal explosion experiment was considered. The modular sizes of members, standard steel bar diameters, steel bar spacing rules, architectural provisions and additional constructability requirements were obtained directly from the output of DMPSO-ML yielding automatic final designs. The results from this study established the validity of the presented DMPSO-ML algorithm for obtaining optimum results in structural optimization problems involving blast effects.
BOND RESISTANCE OF REPAIRED CRACKED-CONCRETE EMBEDDED WITH REBAR IN VARYING SIZE UNDER CYCLIC LOAD
Authors: KAN Yu-Cheng , Pei Kuang-Chih
Published: October 2023

The bond behavior of concrete planted in varying size re-bar D19, D32, D43 and D57 subjected to a cyclic loading pullout test, was investigated through a systematic experiment accompanying with a real-time acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. Another series of tests of concrete including an existing crack repaired by epoxy were also engaged to compare the behavior of repaired concrete under cyclic loading. The ultimate bonding load capacity as well as ultimate bond stress increases with the steel bar size. The repaired bonding load capacity of concrete turns out higher than those un-cracked. In addition, the slip at ultimate peak load is reduced with increasing in rebar diameter. The acoustic signals revealed by AE can be applied to analyze and compare the behavior of concrete with each sized re-bar. The information obtained from the test results provide useful technique to access the safety of NPP RC structure after reparation to resist the cyclic load.
COMPARISON OF SCALED HYBRID SIMULATIONS AND SHAKING TABLE TESTS ON A 2-SPAN REINFORCED CONCRETE BRIDGE
Authors: Iranmanesh Amirhossein , Panahi Mahsa , Ansari Farhad
Published: October 2023

Hybrid simulation is a testing paradigm combining experimental and computational simulations through a hybrid model which comprises scaled physical and numerical representation of various parts of a structural system. The physical and numerical elements interact within a single model by satisfying the displacement compatibility and the force equilibrium at the common nodes. Hybrid simulation offers numerous advantages, including cost savings and a deeper understanding of complex structures. In this paper, an investigation has been carried out to study the effect of scaling on the accuracy of hybrid simulations of a 2-span reinforced concrete highway bridge. The experimental program included hybrid simulations on 1/10, 1/8 and 1/6 scaled models of a two-span reinforced concrete bridge loaded to failure under seven (7) consecutive seismic events. The seismic motions replicating the 1994 Northridge earthquake in California, were applied with progressively increasing amplitudes. The results of shaking table tests on a 1/4 scaled model of the bridge were used to study the accuracy and reliability of different scales of the hybrid simulations.
MULTIDIMENSIONAL APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION PROJECT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY
Authors: Khadjeh Anvary Vahid
Published: October 2023

This paper presents a novel and accessible 4D approach to project performance evaluation, surpassing traditional techniques. The conventional method relies on physical, time, and financial factors that may be insufficient for complex projects, particularly in developing countries. To address this, the paper suggests a 4D approach that considers different scenarios, analyzed with graphs and tables to achieve a more accurate evaluation of project performance. The proposed approach effectively identifies hidden issues, predicts their occurrence, possible delay, over cost and enables project managers to take proactive measures to ensure success, similar to what is done in the medical world. This method facilitates informed decision-making and resource allocation, essential for achieving project objectives. A hypothetical project demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach. In conclusion, adopting this 4D approach can help project managers identify potential issues, make informed decisions, and take appropriate action for project success in different stage of project life time.
EVALUATION OF CONCRETE INJECTED WITH CO2 AND EXPOSED TO COASTAL ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Albu Shaqraa Abbas Ahmed
Published: October 2023

Producing concrete that incorporates carbon dioxide (CO2) into the mix is leveraged to reduce the carbon footprint and produce more sustainable concrete. As the concrete dries, the CO2 is mineralized and permanently incorporated into the early carbonation. Experimental work has been conducted, and hundreds of specimens with varying ratios of CO2 to binder content were cast. CO2 to binder ratios of (0, 0.135, and 0.2%) were used to test concrete in workability (slump), mechanical properties (compressive strength, and density), and durability performance (chloride permeability, and water absorption). The chemical tests (water-soluble chloride, and acid-soluble sulfate ion contents) were also conducted to identify the changes in hardened concrete composition for the three mixes (standard concrete without CO2, standard concrete with CO2 to binder ratio of 0.135%, and standard concrete with CO2 to binder ratio of 0.2%). All specimens were field cured and exposed to the coastal environment of Ras Al-Khair industrial city in Saudi Arabia. The results showed that the CO2 to binder ratio of 0.2% improved the concrete properties, in particular, the effect was clear with higher slump and comparable strength compared to the standard concrete without CO2. However, the CO2 to binder ratio of 0.2% shows a negligible increase in the chloride permeability and the internal chloride ion content compared to the standard concrete without CO2, whereas the internal sulfate ion content has not increased for both CO2 to binder ratios (0.135 and 0.2%) in comparison with the standard concrete without CO2, which indicate no reduction in concrete durability.
Цифровые платформы и мобилизация горожан: как локальность переопределяет коннективное действие
Authors: Чернышева Любовь Алексеевна , Запорожец Оксана Николаевна
Published: October 2023

Статья посвящена роли локальных цифровых платформ (гражданских медиа) в городских конфликтах. Мы обращаемся к теории коннективного действия, анализирующей современные формы мобилизации (совместных действий по достижению определенных целей), которые разворачиваются онлайн или на стыке онлайн/офлайн и соотносятся с более широкой политической повесткой (например, движениями “Occupy” и “Indignados”), и рассматриваем, как эта теория работает в случае локальных объединений, связанных с решением городских проблем. Основываясь на материалах исследований, проведенных в 2018—2020 гг. в российских городах-миллионниках (Самаре, Новосибирске, Санкт-Петербурге и Москве), мы выделяем четыре базовых типа локальных коннективных действий и иллюстрируем их примерами конкретных градозащитных кампаний. Эти типы различаются по двум параметрам: 1) уровню монополизации кампании одной цифровой платформой и 2) характеру распределения ответственности и агентности в рамках кампании между инициативной группой, выступающей администратором онлайн-страниц, и подписчиками.

Возможна ли «демократическая биополитика» во время пандемии? Анализ российских, немецких и французских СМИ
Authors: Радина Надежда Константиновна , Балакина Юлия Владимировна , Банников Константин Валерьевич
Published: October 2023

Теоретическое поле биополитики — активно создающееся и изменяющееся в настоящее время, — в данном исследовании используется как основа для понимания действий правительств и сообществ, представленных государственными и негосударственными медиа, во время пандемии COVID-19. Медийные нарративы о пандемии анализируются в контексте теории биополитики Мишеля Фуко, Джоржа Агамбена и Карстена Шуберта. Предполагается, что в неолиберальных режимах Европейского союза массмедиа будут транслировать идеи, созвучные государственным биополитическим проектам. Также в рамках исследования ставилась цель оценить возможность массмедиа стать акторами «демократической биополитики». Для проверки гипотезы используется сравнительный анализ российских, немецких и французских СМИ, публиковавших материалы о пандемии в течение четырех «волн» (январь 2020 — март 2022). Всего было проанализировано 21 658 текстов трех российских СМИ, 59 149 — немецких и 58 432 — французских.
Исследование базируется на модели пропаганды Э. Хермана и Н. Хомского, а на инструментальном уровне используется прием поиска «контекстуальных идеологем». Ключевую роль в анализе медийного дискурса играет контекстуальная идеологема «вакцинация». Результаты исследования показывают, что СМИ являются акторами биополитики и каналом коммуникации, связывающим государство, бизнес и общество, а массмедийный дискурс может рассматриваться как инструмент редакционной политики, за которым стоит собственник, непосредственно не вовлеченный в фармацевтический бизнес, но по разным причинам поддерживающий биополитические практики правительства. Взаимодействие со СМИ в области биополитических программ со стороны государства и бизнеса требует продолжения исследований.

Новые направления миграции: мигранты из стран Средней Азии на Камчатке
Authors: Деминцева Екатерина Борисовна , Мкртчян Никита Владимирович
Published: October 2023

В статье анализируется появление одного из новых направлений международной миграции в Россию — на Север, а именно в Камчатский край. Мы выясняем, почему мигранты из стран Средней Азии, до этого практически не замеченные среди жителей края, выбирают местом проживания и работы столь отдаленный регион с суровым климатом. Выводы делаются на основании результатов полевого исследования, проведенного в Петропавловске-Камчатском в октябре 2022 г. группой преподавателей и студентов НИУ ВШЭ. Исходя из его результатов, мы отмечаем, что и местные власти, и сами мигранты связывают увеличение потока международных трудовых мигрантов со сравнительно легким входом на рынок труда, в том числе благодаря упрощенной системе легализации, а также с более высокими заработками по сравнению с другими регионами России. При этом расходы на жилье и питание не отличаются от других городов страны и даже ниже, чем во многих больших городах. В статье также анализируется опыт формирования нового мигрантского сообщества в Петропавловске-Камчатском, рассматриваются особенности интеграции мигрантов в принимающий социум. Мы обнаружили, что важную роль в этом новом миграционном потоке играет человеческий капитал: мигранты едут, заранее зная о выгодных условиях труда, возможных местах трудоустройства и условиях жизни в крае.

Road freight transport driver fatique test: A pilot study
Authors: Poliak Miloš , Beňuš Ján , Hajduk Iwona Ewa , Demirci Ebru , Nica Elvira
Published: October 2023

Road freight transport is one of the main modes of transporting goods in the European Union. This reality puts pressure on carriers to make every transport of goods fast, safe, cheap, and efficient. Based on these requirements, lorry drivers are often forced by their employers to break the current social legislation in the European Union and the rules of the road. Compared to the current social legislation in force in different parts of the world, the European Union rules on driving times, breaks and rest periods for drivers engaged in road haulage and passenger transport are the strictest. An important factor and reason of serious and fatal traffic accidents, extensive damage to goods or property in road freight transport is a driver. This article presents three different types of experiments that were carried out, and the results may help to improve the current situation. The main aim of this study was to verify whether the actual regulations are safe and suitable and compare the results of daily work of professional drivers in two different measurements. Last measurement was conducted with using Eye-tacking technology, which aimed to verify impact of experiences on the reaction times of drivers. The authors believe that the results of individual measurements can contribute to increasing safety in road freight transport with preparing future extended studies and proposing the possible changes of current regulation.
Herstory. The Value of Diaries as Sources for the Study of Women’s Independence Discourse: The Category of Viewpoint
Authors: Hawrysz Magdalena
Published: October 2023

The general aim of this outline is to indicate the diverse merits of women’s personal document literature for the study of women’s independence discourse. The specific objective is to identify the various points of view (understood as a linguistic category) that emerge in the texts regarding war and to reconstruct the image of war that emerges from the narratives of the female authors. Consequently, it can be said that the value of women’s personal document literature for researching women’s independence discourse is determined not only by its different perspective (presumably distinct from the male or official perspective) but also by the internal diversity within this discourse, which is connected to the broadly understood ideology.
Factors affecting the conclusion of an arrangement in restructuring proceedings: evidence from Poland
Authors: Prusak Błażej , Zaremba Ulyana , Galiński Paweł
Published: October 2023

The EU Restructuring Directive (2019/1023) requires Member States to provide a preventive restructuring framework for financially distressed entities that remain viable or are likely to readily restore economic viability. The first step to a successful restructuring is the approval of an arrangement between the debtor and creditors. The main research objective of the article is to identify factors affecting the conclusion of an arrangement in restructuring proceedings. In the process of filtering companies initiating a restructuring procedure, these factors are seen as increasing the probability of concluding an arrangement between debtor and creditors. Moreover, an additional research objective is to construct a turnaround prediction model aimed at assessing the probability of a conclusion of an arrangement in restructuring proceedings. The study covered the companies in Poland for which restructuring proceedings opened between 2016 and 2021 ended with the approval of an arrangement, and a similar number of companies that failed to restructure successfully. Binary logistic regression was applied to achieve the aims of this study. The results show that two financial variables affected companies in terms of their chances to conclude the arrangement: the current ratio and return on assets were among the statistically significant indicators and they are characterized by higher values for debtors reaching the arrangement with their creditors. A direct positive relationship was also identified between the company’s lifespan and the outcome of the proceedings. The probability of the conclusion of the arrangement was also affected by the type of industry. Models assessing the probability of completing restructuring proceedings with an arrangement can be useful for insolvency practitioners and financial analysts during viability assessments.

The Correlation Between English and French Proficiency of Chinese Trilingual Learners
Authors: Yang Yang
Published: September 2023

In the context of globalization, multilingual learning and teaching have become more and more popular in China. The phenomenon of cross-linguistic influence is more complex in L3 acquisition than in L2 acquisition. Does the previously learned L2 affect L3 acquisition? From the perspective of trilingual acquisition, the English and French national test proficiency scores of 112 French major students in Chinese universities were selected as the research data to explore the potential relationship between English (L2) proficiency and French (L3) learning. The research results showed a positive correlation between English and French proficiency among Chinese learners, and a predictable equation was established through regression analysis. In addition, the study reveals that a threshold level of English (L2) is essential to generate a significant correlation. The threshold level is roughly equivalent to the level of IELTS 5.5. According to the results, the analogical teaching method is advocated.
The Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR): Landmark Codification, or First Step of Many, or Both?
Authors: Maume Philipp
Published: September 2023

243On 29 June 2023, the long-awaited Regulation on markets in crypto-assets (MiCAR) came into force. It is the first comprehensive framework for DLT-based units (tokens or crypto-assets) in the world. This article tries to shed some light on the drivers of its creation and the remarkable speed of the parliamentary process. It discusses its key definitions and rulesets, and identifies some interesting policy decisions made by EU lawmakers. However, despite its speed and boldness, MiCAR perpetuates the existing structures of EU financial markets regulation, including some of its weaknesses such as its emphasis on national enforcement. The idea to “copy and paste” existing regulation might also lead to problems in the future because the inconsistencies between crypto-asset regulation and financial markets regulation will probably become more significant. The big question is if and how MiCAR will approach the remaining gaps, such as the regulation of decentralised finance.
Negative Implications of Greater Access to the Courts in the Takeover Process
Authors: Mukwiri Jonathan
Published: September 2023

Recent judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union involving Austria and Italy raises the question of whether greater access to the courts makes ineffective the duty of supervisory authorities in enforcing the mandatory bid rule. This question is discussed in the context of provisions in the Takeover Bid Directive that enables Member States to avoid disruptive greater access to the courts. The overarching argument advanced in this article is that a system of takeover regulation that provides parties the ability to challenge regulatory decisions in courts is bound to cause delays and uncertainty in the takeover process. In the UK, the Takeover Bid Directive was implemented in a way that limits greater access to the courts for parties that are required to comply with the ruling of the supervisory authority. The article suggest that the UK approach may provide a benchmark for reform in EU countries.

Published: September 2023

The study of the distribution of cementitious materials in soil aggregates is important for understanding the formation of aggregates in soil due to the addition of soft rock rich in clay. Soft rock and sand in the ratios of 1:1(C1), 1:2(C2), 1:5(C3), and 1:0(CK) were collected in a test field, and the wet sieve method was used to separate large water-stable soil aggregates. The microstructures of the aggregates and the amounts of iron–aluminum compounds and clay minerals were measured. The result shows that the addition of soft rock improves the ability to create effective soil formations in sand. The order of the amounts of >0.5 mm sized water-stable aggregates based on the different treatments is C1 > C3 > C2 > CK. In the later stages of improvement, iron–aluminum oxides, clay minerals, and calcareous cements in modified soil were important for the formation of water-stable aggregates. The enhancing effect of minerals gradually increases, among which amorphous alumina and complexed iron oxide promote the formation of large water-stable aggregates in improved sandy soil. It is concluded that the engineering technique of compounding soft rock and sand is a new technology that can promote sand-forming soil and permanently change the properties of aeolian sand soil.
Exploring the spatial dynamics of cultural facilities based on multi-source data: A case study of Nanjing’s art institutions
Authors: Jiang Zhifeng
Published: September 2023

Examining the spatial characteristics and accessibility of cultural facilities, such as art institutions, is crucial for understanding the lifestyles of citizens. With the increasing utilization of multi-source data in geographical studies, new opportunities have arisen for investigating the development of cultural facilities in urban areas. Consequently, this article investigates the spatial dynamics of art institutions in urban development, using Nanjing, a historic city, as a case study. The study obtained a total of 260,392 points of interest data for Nanjing in 2018 and 2022 from the GaoDe map API console. By employing network analysis and the two-step floating catchment area method, the geostatistical findings reveal that the distribution of art institutions in Nanjing has become more balanced over time. For instance, the research indicates that the proportion of residents able to reach art exchange institutions within a 30-min travel time increased from 75% in 2018 to 90% in 2022. However, the distribution of art training institutions remains more concentrated compared to art exchange institutions. Furthermore, the spatial arrangement of art institutions does not entirely align with the distribution of demand points, indicating the potential for further optimization. In conclusion, this study has significant implications for understanding the accessibility, social justice, and urban planning in Nanjing. The government should pay attention to the cultural demands of marginalized communities, promote social justice and cultural inclusiveness by increasing the accessibility of cultural facilities.

One limiting factor in progress in the discovery and study of new superheavy elements (SHE) is the maximum achievable thickness and irradiation stability of current generation actinide targets. The desired thickness of targets, using full excitation function widths, cannot be achieved with current target technology, especially the widely used molecular plating (MP). The aim of this study was to transfer progress in the electrochemistry of lanthanides and actinides to the production of targets. Here, we report on the production of lanthanide targets using anhydrous electrochemical routes. In a first irradiation series, thulium thin films with areal densities up to 1800 μg/cm2 were produced using anhydrous triflate compounds and subjected to irradiation tests, using 6.0 MeV/u 48Ca ions at a fluence of 3.9 × 1014 ions/cm2 and 8.6 MeV/u 197Au ions at fluences in the range of 3.0 × 1011 to 1.0 × 1013 ions/cm2. The thin films were characterised before and after the irradiations using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).

Copper sulfide nanoparticles have a wide range of applications in various fields, and improving their physical properties is highly desirable. In this study, we investigate the influence of nickel concentrations on the structural, optical, and magnetic characteristics of CuS nanoparticles. The structural properties of Cu1-xNixS (x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.10) were demonstrated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), which confirmed that all samples have a single hexagonal phase. The Energy Dispersive X-ray Technique (EDAX) was used to investigate the elemental analysis of Cu1-xNixS. The XPS study revealed the valence states of Cu, Ni, and S in the Cu0.94Ni0.06S nanoparticles, as well as surface oxidation. The optical characteristics were calculated based on the absorbance optical spectra of the films using a UV-vis-NIR double-beam spectrophotometer in the wavelength range of 400–1000 nm. The optical band gap for CuS and Ni-doped CuS samples decreases as the Ni concentration rises. Magnetic studies (using the M-H curve) demonstrate that 2% and 4% Ni-doped CuS nanoparticles exhibit strong ferromagnetism at ambient temperature and transition to a paramagnetic nature. These results suggest the potential of creating spintronic devices using Ni-doped CuS nanoparticles.

Recent research on organic and inorganic solar cells has demonstrated that adding metal nanoparticles to the active layer can dramatically boost the performance of thin-film cells. In this research, Silver (Ag) nanoparticles have been added in CdS/ZnTe thin films that were prepared using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique with laser energy ranging from (200-300 mJ). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to examine the thin films of CdS and ZnTe for structural details. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were also employed to examine the morphology of the films. The typical rectifier behavior was seen using the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curves. Furthermore, by studying the effect of adding silver (Ag) nanoparticles on the capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics.

The article highlights the problems associated with unpredictable outages, uncertainties in fuel supply, unpredictable changes in coal quality, and deterioration of the infrastructure ofa thermal coal-fired power plant due to the use of high-ash fuels. Traditional methods of solving these problems lack adaptability and flexibility. The aim of the study was to improve the efficiency of operation of boiler units of thermal coal-fired powerplants, which consists in increasing the service life, by improving the models of thermal coal quality management under random perturbations of its composition using automated measurement of abrasive materials in the dust removal system in real time. A simulation model of the influence of coal quality on the erosion wear of heat exchange surfaces of a steam boiler of a thermal coal-fired power plant was developed, consisting of a model of coal transportation and supply, a model of coal quality control, anda model of coal abrasiveness. The models were validated using a computerized flotation test comparison experiment and a one-factor analysis of variance. The experimental results showed that the group mean errors generally do not differ significantly. A method was also developed for controlling the quality of combusted coal when the abrasive composition of the coal batch formed by the supplier is disturbed. The proposed models and methods have the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of thermalcoal-fired power plants through the use of computer-integrated systems for managing pipe wear resistance and reducing the need for premature repair and replacement of equipment, as well as ensuring satisfactory quality of fuel and abrasive compositions, namely, fixing the service life of pipes within 5-9 years, as opposed to the unconscious use of highly abrasive fuel, which will cause an urgent shutdown of a thermal coal-fired power plant within a year. This study opens the way to improving the operation of a thermal coal-fired power plant and expands the understanding of the relationship between coal quality and equipment wear. However, further empirical studies with a larger data set would be useful to improve the accuracy and versatility of the model
Algorithms and software for verification of scientific and technical text documents

The work provides a solution to the problem of verifying the design (formatting) of scientific and technical documents for compliance with the requirements of regulatory documents (the problem of document verification). The basis of the check is the analysis of the styles of the Word text editor, which are used to design the paragraphs of the document under study. For eachelement of the document (headings, annotations, main text, figures, signatures under figures, list of references and others) a reference style of their design was developed. Together, these styles form the set of allowed styles. There can be many sets of allowed styles, each edition has its own set of styles. Only the administrator has access to each of the sets, which can create new styles, new sets, and edit both individual styles and individual sets. Due to the peculiarities of style parsing, the document is treated as a combination of headers and footers and the body of the document. Algorithms for its verification were developed for this structure of the document: an algorithm for analyzing headers and footers, an algorithm for analyzing paragraphs of the main text, and an algorithm for updating style settings by the administrator. .Net, WPF, DocumentFormat.OpenXml technologies were used to implement the algorithms by software. Using DocumentFormat.OpenXml allows you to analyze styles in .doc/.docx format documents; the developed program accepts .doc or .docx format files as input and analyzes them for compliance with specified styles. The result of the analysis is returned in .txt or .doc/.docx format, indicating the detected deviations from the standards. The .txt format file is a list of found deviations, and in the .doc/.docx format files, the deviations are recorded in the form of comments to the original text. Using the program simplifies the process of checking documents, it allows you to identify all deviations from standards and reduce the time and resources spent on checking. .Net and WPF technologies were used to develop the user interface. The developed program was checked in the process of checking the explanatory notes of real bachelor's and master's qualification theses. The style analysis time was determined; the time does not exceed 3 seconds. The developed program can be useful for automating the process of checking documents, ensuring quality and compliance with the design standards of scientific and technical documentation, scientific and technical publications, and, first of all, in the educational process for checking the design of bachelor's and master's qualification works, as well as various reports.

Analysis of the results allowed us to conclude that it is necessary to create conditions for a subject-specific developmental environment, the interaction of specialists, teachers and parents in psychological and pedagogical work on the development of visual-motor functions and the prevention of dyscalculia in preschool age. The article defines the concept of “dyscalculia” and emphasizes the need to create and implement the most effective technologies for correctional work on the formation and development of visual-motor functions in the system of psychological and pedagogical work aimed at preventing dyscalculia in children of this age category.
Orígenes del mosaísmo pedagógico en Galicia: la obra de Casto Blanco Cabeza
Authors: Vázquez-Ramil Raquel , Porto Ucha Ángel Serafín
Published: October 2023

La inquietud por crear museos pedagógicos y escolares se nota en España y América a partir del último cuarto del siglo XIX, cuando se crean los grandes museos pedagógicos nacionales; el de España nació en 1882, con fuerte sesgo institucionista, y realizó una notabilísima labor hasta la guerra civil.

Pero se necesitaban museos próximos a los maestros y a las propias escuelas. La legislación educativa contempló reiteradamente la apertura de museos pedagógicos en las escuelas normales, aunque no siempre se consiguió abrirlos y, sobre todo, mantenerlos. Un ejemplo es el de la Escuela Normal de Maestros de Santiago de Compostela, impulsado por el director del centro, Casto Blanco Cabeza, en 1903. Analizamos la trayectoria vital y formativa de Blanco Cabeza, maestro, profesor de las Escuelas Normales de Santiago y de Madrid, y consejero de Instrucción Pública en los años 20, para contextualizar este proyecto. Finalmente, ofrecemos datos sobre otras iniciativas, como el museo pedagógico regional de A Coruña y sus vicisitudes.
El asilo eclesiástico en la Nueva Granada en el siglo XVIII
Authors: Pita Roger
Published: October 2023

Bajo el marco de la historia eclesiástica y la historia judicial y, con base en la revisión de 14 expedientes consultados en los fondos del Archivo General de la Nación de Colombia y en algunos archivos regionales y eclesiásticos, este trabajo tiene por meta analizar el asilo en sagrado durante el siglo XVIII en la Nueva Granada. En esta investigación queda al descubierto cómo individuos de distintas condiciones sociales y económicas recurrieron a esta fórmula de protección, desde los más humildes hasta funcionarios letrados y militares. Varios fueron los motivos esgrimidos para buscar amparo en sitios sagrados, desde factores externos como las condiciones logísticas del sistema penal hasta causas personales como el afán de librarse de amenazas o del accionar de la justicia. De manera progresiva, el gobierno monárquico restringió tanto los espacios como los delitos que eran objeto de esta inmunidad divina mientras que la Iglesia vio socavados sus privilegios al perder cada vez más su poder de influencia en este tipo de casos. Resultado de esta pugna de intereses fueron los continuos choques entre la autoridad civil y la autoridad eclesiástica.
Hieromonk Athanasius`s (Nechaev) letters to hieroschemamonk Ephraim (Khrobostov) from Paris to Valaam (1927–1929)
Authors: Shevchenko Tatyana
Published: September 2023

Letters from Hieromonk Athanasius (Nechaev) to his confessor and elder, Hieroschemamonk Ephraim (Khrobostov) are presented in the publication. They were written from Paris to Valaam in Finland, where at that time the Valaam Monastery was located. Hieromonk Athanasius - the future archimandrite and spiritual mentor of monasticism abroad, the superior of the Three Hierarchs metochion in Paris (1933-1943), dean of the parishes of the Moscow Patriarchate in France, the first spiritual mentor of the future Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh (Bloom). His addressee was the fraternal confessor at the Valaam Monastery, and before the revolution, the confessor of Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich (the younger) and his family, Hieroschemamonk Ephraim (Khrobostov), - is the respected and authoritative member of the spiritual governing body of the monastery. In the Smolensk skete on Valaam, he daily served a liturgy in memory of the Russian soldiers who died at the front for the faith, the Tsar and the Fatherland. The letters were written during the period of study of Father Athanasius at the St. Sergius Theological Institute in Paris and during his service in the monastery-orphanage "Unexpected Joy" in Livry-Gargan near Paris. They deal with many problems of the church life of the Russian diaspora in France and the Russian emigration in general as a phenomenon. Father Athanasius described the causes of jurisdictional disputes in exile, problems at the Theological Institute, conflicts between hierarchs, and more. He was something of a correspondent who kept the Valaam monastery authorities up to date on events. Describing in detail the essence of the disagreements, at some point he apparently got tired of them and plunged headlong into pastoral work, warmly describing the life of the emigrant communities he served. During the cross-over of Metropolitan Evlogy to the Patriarchate of Constantinople, Father Athanasius could not reconcile himself to the break with the Russian Church, and believed that it was better to return to Valaam. However, these plans were not destined to come true.
