Published: February 2025

The article examines the production technology of ethylene oxide [EO] using silver aluminum catalyst [Ag/Al2O3] packed in a plug reactor to oxidize ethylene (C2H4) uses either air or oxygen (O2), but the oxygen-based reaction process since it is more effective, the use of oxygen was considered suitable for the purpose. Basically two reactions take place, the partial oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide and the complete oxidation of ethylene to carbon dioxide and water. The process design models in this study are based on a three-component system. These are: a reaction system, an absorption system, and an ethylene oxide [EO] scavenging system. The highest cost in the production of ethylene oxide is ethylene, so it is important to optimize the selectivity of ethylene oxide and thereby reduce ethylene consumption.
Keywords: ethylene oxide, oxidation, pressure, catalyst, flow diagram, simulation.

CATACOMB BURIALS OF VERKHNY SALTOV NECROPOLIS WITH «BARBARIAN IMITATIONS» OF ARAB DINARS OF THE 8th century
Authors: Aksionov V. , Aksonova N.
Published: January 2025

Finding gold Arab coins (dinars) or their imitations on the sites of the Saliv archaeological culture is quite rare, unlike silver dirhams. Nowadays in the sites of Eastern Europe of the last quarter of the 1st millennium AD only 14 gold Kufic coins (11 dinars and 3 imitations) have been found. At the same time, 13 of the 14 coins were localized on the territory of the Khazar Khaganate. Today also 8 or more imitations of gold dinars originating from the territory of modern Ukraine have been ascertained by the scholars. Three of which were found in the catacomb burials of the Verkhny Saltiv burial ground by the expedition of the Kharkov Historical Museum. In catacomb 25 on the main section of the Verkhny Saltiv burial ground (VSB I) a copper coin-sewn patch with traces of gilding, imitating an Umayyad gold dinar minted in 101—109 AH (720—728 CE), was found. Two coins, transformed into pendants for a necklace, were discovered in catacomb 30 in the fourth section of the Verkhny Saltiv burial ground (VSB IV). Both pendants were made from unidentifiable imitations of the Umayyad coins, most likely dinars. Presumably, these imitations of gold dinars were made by craftsmen somewhere in the North Caucasus, and only later came to the bearers of the Saltiv culture of the Seversky Donets basin. According to the grave goods in catacombs 25 of VSB I and 30 of VSB IV together with imitations of gold dinars, these burial assemblages are dated to the first half of the 9th century. Imitations of the gold Umayyad dinars together with gold earrings, beads made of carnelian, coral, monochrome and multi-colored glass, a full set of the dressing room accessories (mirror, toilet box, ear pick, toilet brush) are the grave goods of burials of young women of childbearing age, which indicates that their owners belonged to the social and property elite of the Saltiv population of the Siversky Donets basin.
AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND DRAWINGS OF THE LATE SCYTHIAN HILLFORTS OF THE LOWER DNIEPER: THE WORK OF KOSTIANTYN SHYSHKIN
Authors: Kariaka O.
Published: January 2025

In the course of work on clarifying the role of Kostiantyn Shyshkin in the formation of archaeological research based on aerial photography, we managed to find in the Scientific works collection of the Scientific Archive of the Institute of Archaeology, NAS of Ukraine a separate folder of this researcher. It contained, together with other materials and part of personal correspondence, the photocopies of aerial photography of four areas on the right bank of the Lower Dnieper and photocopies of the drawings of four Late Scythian hillforts, made on the basis of these aerial photographs: Hannivske, Havrylivske, Konsulivske and Sablukivske hillforts.
The careful analysis of graphic materials and correspondence made it possible to find out that the original sources of aerial photographs were too small in scale to detect the sites. To identify and map them the researcher had to enlarge the photographs 7 times to achieve the image suitable for study. Then, after analyzing the pictures, identifying the sites and their individual features, he drew a map plan of the site on a scale of 1 : 5000 which was already quite suitable for further processing.
The main features that can be distinguished on the basis of Kostiantyn Shyshkin’s drawings are the defensive structures of these sites (partly unknown now) and the selection of agricultural areas in the close surroundings of the hillforts and sometimes also additionally defended by fortification. It is quite possible to assume that he followed the general scheme — the central hillfort — craft suburbs — agricultural land — necropolis, although this is not yet confirmed by his manuscripts.
Thus, the discovered new materials show us the possibility of using aerial photography in archaeological research of the Soviet period, some issues of their making and use. The aerial photos handled to the archive by Kostiantyn Shyshkin and the drawings of four Late-Scythian hillforts, created on their basis, are a valuable source for the history of the development of Ukrainian archeology and, in particular, Scythian studies. We can consider some of their special features to be required for further careful study.
VIKTOR PETROV IN THE PRUT-DNIESTER EXPEDITION: ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL CONTEXTS
Authors: Buzko O.
Published: January 2025

The paper provides a brief overview of archaeological research on ancient Tyras and medieval Bilhorod, with an emphasis on the problematic issue of the politicization of archaeology. After the Second World War, when Bessarabia, which includes Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi in the Odesa region, passed from Romanian rule to the Ukrainian SSR, the site was excavated by Ukrainian scientists as well as the expedition of Russian archaeologist Georgii Fedorov. Starting in the 1950s, the expedition actively searched for archaeological traces of Slavs in the region, partly due to political motives, as it was necessary to substantiate the «eternal friendship» of the Russian, Ukrainian, and Moldovan peoples. Subsequently, a number of Moldovan archaeologists, students of G. Fedorov, opposed him, focusing on the Romanesque element in the ethnogenesis of the Moldovans.
In the Scientific archive of the Institute of Archaeology, during the scanning of documents from the Viktor Petrov collection, the folder with photographs from Tyras from 1954 was found. The biographical episode about participation of V. Petrov in G. Fedorov expedition was little known in historiography. The paper contains G. Fedorov recollection of Viktor Petrov as a KGB agent in his expedition, who, however, appears as a positive character having cared about the fate of the disgraced Russian poet Naum Korzhavin. The paper also includes Naum Korzhavin’s recollection of being denounced for writing an anti-Soviet poem that questioned the joy of the 300th anniversary of Ukraine’s reunification with Russia. These memoirs convey, in a way, the spirit of the post-Stalinist era, immersing one in an atmosphere of disgusting slander on the one hand, and on the other, an atmosphere where one tried to preserve courage and humanity against all odds. The paper also includes the letters from V. Petrov to his wife Sofia Zerova from the expedition, which allow the reader to somewhat experience its atmosphere. The paper is finished with an excerpt from Georgy Fedorov autobiographical documentary novel Deserter (From the Notes of an Occupant), which describes his participation in the occupation of the Baltic States in 1940—1941 and warns the Soviet military about the possibility of repeating these mistakes in 1991. Unfortunately, the predatory neighboring state repeats its mistakes and crimes, only increasing their regularity and intensity.

Authors: Ovsyannikova S. V. , Dubsky V. O. , Milov V. V. , Kurilo K. A. , Bushueva A. O. , Kuznetsova A. G.
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND. Chronic pain syndrome in dorsopathy is a common geriatric syndrome diagnosed in 65% of patients aged 60 to 75 years. It impairs the quality of life in older adults and leads to anxiety and depressive disorders due to persistent symptoms [22]. This necessitates introducing non-pharmacological rehabilitation methods into the treatment plan for this group of patients. It will help avoid polypharmacy and its cumulative side effects and improve patients’ functional abilities, self-care, and capacity for daily and occupational activities.

AIM. To scientifically substantiate the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures for chronic lower back pain syndrome in elderly and senile patients with dorsopathy using non-pharmacological treatment methods, in particular therapeutic physical exercises, physiotherapy, individualized orthopedic support, etc.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. The study included 120 patients diagnosed with deforming dorsopathy, with a mean age of 67.1 (66.8; 67.4) years, of whom 71 (59%) were female. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group (n=66) and the control group (n=54). The main group of elderly patients received continuous year-round treatment focusing on non-pharmacological methods (therapeutic physical exercises, individualized orthopedic corrections, physiotherapy, etc.). In contrast, the control group received treatment once every six months, mainly focusing on pharmacotherapy as the basis of treatment. Rehabilitation effectiveness was evaluated before and after treatment (after one calendar year) using the  EQ-5D-5L quality of life questionnaire, a visual analog scale for pain, assessments of general motor activity, self-care skills, ability to perform work, emotional and volitional characteristics, and the severity of main somatic complaints.

RESULTS. This study showed the effectiveness of continuous year-round use of non-pharmacological treatment methods (including dosed physical activity tailored to disease periods as a foundation) supplemented by medication when necessary during acute phases. The results indicate that consistent use (throughout the calendar year) of kinesitherapy, individualized foot orthotics, and physiotherapy (if clinically necessary) significantly improves the somatic status of patients, (reduces the need for pain relief medication, lessens dependence on constant assistance, improves quality of life, and positively affects emotional and volitional qualities, such as mood and initiative).

CONCLUSION. The preventive introduction of the proposed therapeutic methods could help primary care physicians and neurologists to alleviate pain symptoms faster, improve the quality of life in this cohort of patients, and reduce the frequency of hospitalizations, which is of significant economic importance for healthcare system as a whole.
The Effect of Liquidity, Capital Structure, and Profitability on Dividend Policy Moderated by Company Size in Industrial Sector Companies
Authors: Safitri Anisa , Eka Yulianti
Published: February 2025

This study analyzes the effect of liquidity, capital structure, and profitability on dividend policy with company size as a moderating variable in consumer goods industry sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2019–2023. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive and associative methods. Data were obtained from the company's financial and annual reports, analyzed using Microsoft Excel and EViews. The sample consisted of 19 companies selected through the Non-Probability Sampling technique, with a total of 95 observations. The results of the analysis show that the classical assumption test has been met, including data normality, free from heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, and autocorrelation. Partially, liquidity and capital structure have no effect on dividend policy, while profitability has a positive effect. Company size is unable to moderate the relationship between independent variables and dividend policy. These findings indicate that financial factors remain dominant in determining dividend policy, but future research is advised to consider non-financial factors and a longer period to obtain more accurate results.
The Influence of Non-Interest Income on the Profitability of Conventional Banks Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Alam Pratama Renaldy , Alifia Nova Azzahra  , Susy Muchtar
Published: February 2025

This study analyzes the factors that influence the profitability of conventional banks in Indonesia with Return on Assets (ROA) as the main measure. This study uses a quantitative method with panel data regression to examine the effect of Non-Interest Income (NII), bank size, Loan Loss Provision (LLP), Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), and overhead costs on the profitability of conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the period 2019–2024. Data were obtained from annual financial reports and other secondary sources such as IDX, Bank Indonesia, and the World Bank. The results showed that NII did not have a significant effect on profitability, indicating that conventional banks still rely on interest income as the main source of profit. Bank size has a positive effect on ROA, with larger banks benefiting from economies of scale and operational efficiency. LLP has a negative effect on profitability, indicating that increasing loan loss provisions reduce bank profits. CAR has a positive effect, indicating that strong capitalization increases investor confidence and financial stability. Meanwhile, overhead costs have a negative effect on ROA, emphasizing the importance of operational efficiency in increasing profitability. This study recommends further research considering Islamic banks and macroeconomic factors for a more comprehensive understanding of banking profitability in Indonesia.
THE USE OF OPTICAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION (OWC) CAPABILITIES USING INFRARED SOURCES OF POLARIZED LIGHT IN THE MILITARY SPHERE
Authors: Maistrenko O. , Chervotoka O. , Kolosov I. , Sotchenko A.
Published: January 2025

The paper considers the issue of creating secure communication channels for the control of units, UAVs, FPV drones, which can provide stable communication with the impossibility of third-party interference and interference through the use of electronic warfare (EW) and the detection of control points by means of radio technical intelligence (RTR).The analysis of existing domestic communications, electronic warfare and radiotechnical intelligence means used by the leading military countries shows the constant dynamics of their development. Insufficient security of communication channels can be critical when the enemy uses electronic warfare and electronic surveillance means. The usefulness of the article lies in the fact that, based on the analysis of existing optical communication channels using polarized infrared light and laser radiation, it reveals the idea of justifying the need to work towards the creation of alternative (duplicate) communication channels that can ensure reliability and impossibility of third-party interference, thereby creating conditions for stable protected covert control of artillery units and UAVs (FPV drones), which the enemy will not be able to influence. The ways of solving the problem of providing stable protected alternative communication between combined military units, artillery units, and intelligence means presented in the work are based on various features of the optical wireless communication use: design features of the elements; organizational features; areas of application; features of the landscape and external factors. Disadvantages of such systems use are identified and directions for their elimination are presented. This makes it possible to consider the problem in a complex manner and to form a theoretical basis for further research in the direction of creating alternative communication channels and developing existing approaches to their application.

Published: January 2025

The research work presents the stages of producing a conceptual design of a car side mirror base that is optimum in shape and utilizes an ideal amount of natural fiber composite. The optimized model is created by performing topology optimization (TO) and static simulations on a 3D-model side mirror base of a Perodua Myvi (model 2023) to obtain the best percentage of material removal. The finalized model was verified through a static simulation study to ensure its design integrity and is then fabricated using fused deposition modelling (FDM) technique by employing Polylactic Acid (PLA) + wood which was selected using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method with a performance score of 0.9375. The final model’s weight is 68.572g; 11.235g lighter and uses 16.38% less material when compared to the unoptimized model. In conclusion, The  TOPSIS method is a useful tool to make decisions involving multiple criteria while topology optimization is a great strategy to produce optimum design. Even if the result of topology optimization comes in complex geometries, the advancement of additive manufacturing such as FDM 3D printing can be utilized to fabricate the end product.

Published: January 2025

The banking sector in the Western Balkan countries has changed dramatically in recent years. A variety of factors have contributed to these changes, such as economic growth, increased competition, and the implementation of new regulations. As a result, the profitability of the banking sector varies greatly between countries. The purpose of this research is to look into the impact of internal and macroeconomic factors on the profitability of the banking sector in the Western Balkan countries. The research used 85 observations from unbalanced panel data from five countries from 2005 to 2021. Data were gathered from the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook Database, which contains information on the trend and progress of banking in the Western Balkans. The variables used included macroeconomic variables, internal bank variables, and industry variables, with return on assets and return on equity used to measure bank profitability. Panel regression with pooled least squares, fixed effects, and random effects was used to analyze these variables. Internal factors such as bank Z-score, 3-bank asset concentration, bank net interest margin, bank overhead costs to total assets, bank credit to deposits, and bank capital to total assets have a positive impact on profitability, according to the findings. GDP and inflation, for example, have a mixed impact on profitability. The impact of industry factors such as liquid assets, deposits, and short-term funding, as well as bank Z-score, on profitability is mixed. The study’s findings have significant implications for policy experts and bank managers in Western Balkan countries. The findings can be used by policymakers to create policies that promote the profitability of the banking sector. The findings can be used by bank managers to improve their banks’ profitability by making strategic decisions about asset allocation, capital structure, and risk management.

Published: January 2025

The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of physical Vanity, achievement vanity, and brand equity on luxury consumption in the skincare industry, considering the promising US$13.9 billion beauty and personal care market in India, as estimated by Euromonitor International. Data were collected from 200 male and female participants in the National Capital Region of Delhi, India, belonging to various geographic groups and income levels. Confirmatory factor analysis was utilized to assess the relationship between observed and latent variables, while regression analysis was employed to determine the impact of physical Vanity, achievement vanity, and brand equity on luxury consumption. The study reveals that physical Vanity, achievement vanity, and brand equity positively affect luxury product consumption, with brand equity having the most significant impact. The associations between luxury consumption and physical Vanity, achievement vanity, and brand equity were found to be statistically meaningful. The findings offer valuable insights for skincare market marketers, allowing them to identify opportunities and strategize to capture untapped markets in the country. Additionally, the results enable them to understand the relative influence of the three factors – physical Vanity, achievement vanity, and brand equity – on luxury consumption. This research contributes to the understanding of the positive effects of physical Vanity, achievement vanity, and brand equity on luxury product consumption. The survey-based approach offers a comprehensive yet succinct overview of the existing literature and its implications, benefiting both luxury brand managers and future researchers.
Bulge Oscillation Driven by Outflows of Active Galactic Nuclei. I. Fast Outflow Case
Authors: Peng Yue-Chang , Wang Jian-Min , Zhao Yu , Ho Luis C.
Published: January 2025

There is growing evidence for star formation inside outflows of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The formed stars are injected into bulges and give rise to perturbation of bulges. In this paper, we investigate the issues of nonrotating, spherically symmetric bulges under the perturbation of fast, massive outflows with stars formed inside. We show that the potential perturbation of outflows, together with injection and dynamical friction of these stars, could drive bulge oscillations. Still, we find that nonzero radial velocity of bulges will be driven by the episodic outflows of AGNs, and after the AGN has quenched, the radial velocity will tend to zero within a timescale ~τ
AGN, which is the AGN's lifetime. For some typical values of bulges and AGNs, we find that the expansion and contraction velocities are a few × 10 km s−1 for 1010
M
⊙ bulges and mass outflowing rate 500 M
⊙ yr−1, which would give observational signatures.

Objective

Young adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have physical, cognitive, and psychosocial health issues and other comorbidities that may affect educational attainment and, ultimately, lifetime socioeconomic achievement. We aimed to understand the lived educational experiences of young adults with SLE and to assess their perceived barriers from SLE.

Methods

Individual semistructured interviews were conducted remotely with participants from 2 SLE clinics in Canada. All interviews were transcribed verbatim, double-coded, and analyzed using a reflexive thematic approach.

Results

Thirteen participants (85% female) with a median age of 20.5 years—8 with childhood-onset SLE and 5 with adult-onset SLE—were interviewed. Four themes were identified: (1) challenges due to SLE (difficulties adjusting to the diagnosis, physical and cognitive symptoms of SLE); (2) changes in aspirations (education or career goals modified by reducing course load or shifting to a more sedentary or less demanding career); (3) facilitators of student success (social support from family and friends, parental financial support, individualized accommodations from institutions, and asynchronous learning opportunities as a response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic); and (4) coping and moving forward (using more adaptive than maladaptive coping strategies to self-manage, including self-acceptance, pacing, and planning).

Conclusion

Whereas most participants were successfully engaging in higher education, their performance was often negatively affected by the physical and cognitive toll of SLE. Social support and academic accommodations helped to alleviate the challenges experienced by this group. Going forward, clinicians should initiate conversations about the educational experiences of young adults with SLE to proactively address the challenges they may face.
Urine Protein Tests in Systematic Lupus Erythematosus: What Do They Mean?
Authors: Aflaki Mona , Bargman Joanne M.
Published: February 2025

The development of lupus nephritis (LN) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Proteinuria is a key indicator of kidney involvement; detecting and monitoring proteinuria is therefore crucial as it acts as a surrogate marker for disease activity and has significant prognostic value. This review explores the general mechanisms of proteinuria and highlights the limitations of current measurement techniques. In the absence of specific urinary markers for LN disease activity, evaluating proteinuria involves considering its trajectory, amplitude of change, and the overall clinical status of the patient. Differentiating between acute disease vs proteinuria that may stem from scarring and glomerular basement membrane remodeling can be challenging. Additionally, in the absence of other signs of active disease, the time to recovery and resolution of proteinuria may be prolonged.

Published: February 2025

Objective

The Tight Control of Psoriatic Arthritis (TICOPA) study was the first to undertake the treat-to-target approach in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Our aim was to further investigate the radiographic changes in the TICOPA study.

Methods

The TICOPA trial recruited patients with early treatment-naïve PsA. Plain radiographs of the hands and feet were taken at weeks 0 and 48. Clinical outcomes were recorded by a blinded assessor every 12 weeks. In post hoc analysis, bootstrapped quantile regression, adjusting for baseline values and minimization factors, was used to compare radiographic scores (modified Sharp/van der Heijde [mSvdH]), defined according to treatment arm or disease activity states.

Results

Paired baseline and week 48 radiographs were available for 169/206 (82%) at week 48 (84 tight control [TC] arm, 85 standard care [StdC] arm). There was no difference in change in total mSvdH score seen with TC compared to StdC (median [IQR] 0.0 [–2.0 to 0.5] vs 0.0 [–2.0 to 0.0]; difference 0.0 [95% CI 0.0-0.0]). Median total mSvdH score change was lower in those achieving minimal disease activity, Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis remission, and very low disease activity. The number of people with radiographic progression (total erosion score of ≥ 2 at week 48) was numerically lower in the TC group (5/84 [5.9%] vs 12/85 [14.1%]). Patients with radiographical progression presented with polyarticular disease and high C-reactive protein, and had poorer clinical outcomes at weeks 12 and 24.

Conclusion

These data confirm the benefit of achieving low disease activity states on subsequent radiographic outcomes but did not show a significant impact related to a TC management approach.
¿Un nuevo Atlántico Negro? Itinerarios diaspóricos contemporáneos del África occidental a la frontera norte de México
Authors: Ortega Pedro Roa
Published: January 2025

Inspirado en entrevistas etnográficas con hombres adultos procedentes de África Occidental en el verano de 2019 quienes, inicialmente, buscaban asilo en Estados Unidos, este artículo tiene dos objetivos. El primero es utilizar el concepto de diáspora para enfatizar el carácter “autónomo” y “desafiante” de las decisiones que los migrantes sin documentos realizan en contextos donde los gobiernos intentan por todos los medios prevenir y desalentar su movimiento. El segundo objetivo es describir las condiciones del trayecto, por una parte, sus obstáculos y peligros, y por otra, sus pasajes y vectores. El presente artículo consta de tres secciones y una conclusión. La primera parte explica la metodología empleada y resume las circunstancias de salida de cada caso. La segunda describe la llegada a Sudamérica y el tránsito rumbo norte. La tercera esboza algunas coyunturas que los migrantes africanos atraviesan en México.
L’estuaire, un passage obligé sur les itinéraires nautiques du Ponant ? L’exemple de la Canche
Authors: Philippe Michel
Published: January 2025

L’estuaire, défini par les pulsations dues aux marées, est une forme de paysage littoral exceptionnellement riche par sa diversité. L’estuaire de la Canche, au sud du détroit du Pas-de-Calais, s’inscrit dès le Néolithique dans les relations d’échanges transeuropéens comme port d’échouage coutumier. Formant le second estuaire sur la route atlantique, la Canche pénètre à plus de 80 km à l’intérieur des terres et permet de rejoindre les bassins de la Scarpe et de l’Escaut. L’occupation de l’estuaire de la Canche est continue, du Ve millénaire avant notre ère à aujourd’hui. Elle s’est déplacée selon l’évolution rapide du contexte géomorphologique caractéristique des estuaires. Si les traces néolithiques restent ténues, le rôle portuaire de l’estuaire est clairement établi dès le début du IIe millénaire avant notre ère, rôle qui n’aura de cesse de s’affirmer par la suite. Ces critères géographiques, chronologiques et fonctionnels font de l’estuaire de la Canche, au moins pour les périodes historiques, un passage obligé sur les itinéraires nautiques du Ponant.
Une communauté gauloise entre terre et Manche. Le gisement d’Urville-Nacqueville
Authors: Lefort Anthony
Published: January 2025

Situé aux portes de la presqu’île de La Hague, le site d’Urville-Nacqueville a été fouillé en 2010. Il a révélé une petite agglomération littorale prospère à vocation portuaire, en liaison régulière avec le sud de l’Angleterre. Sur une côte déjà largement anthropisée à la fin de la Protohistoire, les occupants du site ont exploité la terre, pratiqué l’élevage mais surtout exploité les ressources et les opportunités économiques offertes par la mer.
