INFLUENCE OF ITERATIVE ALGORITHMS ON IMAGE QUALITY AND SEMI-QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL
Authors: Emelyanenko E. , Tarutin I. , Dzyuban A.
Published: November 2024

The influence of parameters of iterative reconstruction algorithms used in positron emission tomography on semi-quantitative indicators and the quality of a diagnostic image in a clinical setting is investigated. The functions of the dependence of the standardized accumulation index and metabolic volume on the number of iterations are obtained. Peculiarities of the influence of iterative reconstruction algorithms on formations with a size of 6–8 mm are considered. We examined 10 patients scanned using the iterative VPHD algorithm with the PSF function turned on, time-of-flight TOF technology using the PSF function. The influence of the indicated scanning parameters on contrast, noise, and signal-to-noise ratio is analyzed. Graphs of the dependence of semi-quantitative characteristics on the number of iterations and subsets are presented. The change in semiquantitative values was estimated by varying the range of iterations and subsets. Methods for optimizing diagnostic protocols for scanning patients are proposed.

Authors: Belyashov A. V. , Suvorov V. D. , Melnik E. A.
Published: November 2024

In 1997, Institute of Geophysical Research NNC RK conducted seismic study of the Balapan site at Semipalatinsk Test Site, within the borders of which 14 underground nuclear explosions were carried out earlier. One of the tasks of the study was to develop a detection methodology in the upper part of the traces section from underground nuclear explosions as target objects during the On-site Inspection. In epicentral regions of the underground nuclear explosions with depths down to 100–120 m sites with lower velocity values were noted down to 3,0–3,5 km/s for P and 1,6–1,8 km/s for S waves; these were interpreted as slabbing occurrences. The rocks within the slabbing zones are different with increased Poisson’s ratio values up to 0.35, which is 0.07 higher than its pre-explosion values. Using pre- and post-explosion parameters of the background medium (seismic waves velocity, mountain rocks density, elastic modules) a parameter of fractures’ density was calculated within industrially changed layer. A correlation of post-explosion fracture of mountain rocks with engineering and technical parameters of underground explosions was established – a weight of nuclear charge and its laying depth.

Published: November 2024

The results are presented of a fractographic study of the fracture surface of samples of irradiated steel 0.12C18Cr10NiTi after tensile tests at temperatures of 24, 350, 450 °C. Samples for research were cut from the face of duct of spent fuel assemblies of fast neutron reactor BN-350. On the basis of a multilevel approach of physical mesomechanics, an attempt is made to explain the decrease in the ductility of steel with an increase in the temperature of mechanical tests. Based on the analysis results, it was concluded that a decrease in the ductility of steel with an increase in the test temperature may be due to quasi-uniform stress distribution in the area of localization of deformations, which was facilitated by the local increase in the porosity of the material caused by the accommodative processes of the rotary type.

SOURCE DEPTH DETERMINATION OF THE DPRK’S SIX NUCLEAR TESTS (2006, 2009, 2013, 2016J, 2016S, AND 2017) USING REGIONAL AND TELESEISMIC DATA
Authors: Kim S. G. , Gitterman Y. , Lee S.
Published: November 2024

North Korea conducted underground nuclear explosions on October 9, 2006 (mb 4.3), May 25, 2009 (mb 4.7), February 12, 2013 (mb 5,1), January 6, 2016 (mb 5,1), September 9, 2016 (mb 5,3) and September 3, 2017 (mb 6,3). We estimated source depths for the North Korean nuclear tests using regional and teleseismic data. We found the burial depth at around 2 km for all North Korean nuclear tests using spectral nulls using pP+P/sP+P and pPn + Pn/ sPn+Pn including spectral minima (holes) of the fundamental-mode Rayleigh wave amplitude spectra. It should be noted that utilizing azimuth averaged spectra from the observations is most appropriate to estimate depth for unknown sources in the nonlinear topographic region such as the North Korean nuclear test sites. It is also noticeable to have found spectral anomalies depending on not only source effects but also the site effects. We found higher spectral nulls at the Fennoscandian Shield stations like ARCES and FINES due to the higher crustal velocity resulting in the fast P-wave arrivals with high Q and low attenuation containing high frequencies which very fit to underground nuclear detection, whereas spectral nulls at ASAR are found to be much lower because there is the Great Artesian Basin beneath the array including the low velocity zone in the upper mantle as well. These phenomena are also observed from spectral nulls due to reflection from the bottom of the 660-km Discontinuity by a deep-focus earthquake. It is also notable that the possibility of the over-burial detonation would affect MS : mb and seismic yield for the North Korean underground nuclear tests [1].
MODELING OF MAGNETOSTRICTION IN DOPED ALLOY FeGa
Authors: Inerbaev T. M. , Abuova F. U. , Abuova A. U. , Zhagypar N. , Satanova B.
Published: November 2024

In this work, we have carried out computer simulation using the density functional theory of the magnetostrictive properties of Ni and Nd modified FeGa alloy. It is shown that the experimentally observed decrease (increase) in the coefficient λ001 upon the addition of Ni (Nd) dopants is associated with an increase (decrease) in the antibonding character of the chemical bond between iron atoms in the first and second coordination spheres of the dopant atom as compared to the situation when, to enhance the magnetostrictive effect gallium was used. The electronic structure of the FeGa alloy is theoretically investigated by the methods of density functional theory. The work is aimed at explaining the difference in the change in the magnetostrictive properties of the material when using different types of alloying elements. The effect of interest is explained by the change in the nature of the chemical bond between the iron atoms of the first and second coordination spheres around the impurity atom due to the dopant. An increase in the bonding nature of the electron orbitals between these atoms leads to a decrease in the magnetostrictive effect, and its weakening leads to the opposite effect.

Published: November 2024

The paper provides tritium (3Н) concentrations in atmospheric air in the venues of tunnels at the «Degelen» testing site of Semipalatinsk Test Site (the STS). Tritiated water (НТО) and gaseous tritium compounds (НТ) in air environment were registered in air environment both at the «Degelen» testing site and beyond its boundaries. Based on the data obtained, contribution of 3Н entering with air into radiation exposure of personnel and population was determined through the example of the «Degelen» testing site. It was found, that contribution of 3Н to radiation exposure of the personnel (inhalational intake), carrying out works in the venues with the maximum concentration of 3Н in the air does not exceed 1%. Contribution of 3Н to the radiation exposure of population, performing economic activities beyond the «Degelen» site, in the venues of streamflows with high concentration of 3Н in water and in air will be approximately 10%.

Authors:   University of Patras and National Bank of Greece, Mermelas Georgios , Tagkalakis Athanasios ,   Bank of Greece and University of Patras
Published: November 2024

This study examines the impact of monetary policy shocks on the macroeconomic performance of 20 euro area countries. In doing so, it assesses how variations in the characteristics of the banking system affect the transmission of monetary policy. The main results show that a contractionary monetary policy shock reduces both inflation and retail sales while increasing the unemployment rate. In contrast, an expansionary monetary policy shock has positive but much milder effects on the economy. Βanking systems with higher profitability, risk exposure and lower assets-to-GDP cause a stronger effect of monetary policy on the economy. The main results hold when we consider alternative monetary policy shocks.

The RPA system of а modem substation is a complex multi-level system with many functions performed. This is especially true for digital substations, where, depending on the architecture of the RPA system, since all control is carried out exclusively in digital format. In this regard, tools are needed to simulate certain algorithms of the RPA system operating on the primary equipment of the substation. There are very few programs that implement these functions, especially considering the fact that most of them do not allow you to change the algorithm of operation of the simulated RPA device, but only have access to changing the settings. Taking into account these factors, within the framework of this work, a model has been developed for the joint operation of primary substation equipment and RPA devices similar to those used in digital substations.
ELECTROMECHANICAL ENERGY SТОRАGЕ
Authors:   Kurgan State University, Popov I.P.
Published: November 2024

Short-term peak loads of machines and mechanisms create the need to accumulate mechanical energy for its subsequent pulsed use. This is quite relevant, for example, for tractors at the initial stage of towing heavy trailers. The use of a mechanical energy accumulator will reduce the power of the tractor engine and expand its functionality. The mechanical energy accumulator can be made in the form of a direct current electric machine or a valve machine, on the shaft of which a superflywheel is attached. When a machine is connected to a power source, a nonstationary process occurs, described by two differential equations: one for mechanical quantities, the other for electrical ones. Solutions of differential equations repeat the relationships for charging and discharging an electric capacitor. From the resulting formulas it follows that for an electrical circuit, the mechanical energy accumulator in question is indistinguishable from an electrical capacitor. It follows from this that in this case we can talk about artificial electrical capacitance. In addition, artificial electrical resistance arises (which is not related to the resistivity, length and crosssectional area of the conductors). In connection with the above, a mechanical energy accumulator can be interpreted as an artificial electric capacitor, which stores not the energy of the electric field, but the kinetic energy of rotation of the superflywheel. There are superflywheel designs that can store significant kinetic energy. Even the possibility of installing them on passenger vehicles was studied. In this sense, massive tractors have an undeniable advantage, since the increase in weight is not only not problematic for them, but in some cases it is desirable.
A laborhús iránti fogyasztói preferenciák vizsgálata magyar fogyasztók körében
Authors: Szakály Zoltán , Szűcs Róbert Sándor , Földi Kata , Kiss Marietta
Published: November 2024

A hagyományos hústermelési rendszerekkel szembeni kritikák miatt az élelmiszeripar egyre inkább keresi a húshelyettesítés lehetőségeit. A fejlesztések egyik fő irányát a laboratóriumban növesztett húsok képviselik. A kutatás legfontosabb célkitűzése a laborhússal kapcsolatos fogyasztói preferenciák vizsgálata volt a magyar lakosság körében, aminek érdekében egy 500 fős, országos reprezentatív megkérdezést folytattunk le. Eredményeink szerint a laborhúst nagyon kevesen próbálnák ki és fogyasztanák rendszeresen; a biztosan kipróbálók aránya mindössze 4,2%, a biztosan rendszeres fogyasztóké pedig 5,2%. Kicsi a részaránya azoknak is (2,3%), akik biztosan lecserélnék a hagyományos húsféleségeket a laborhúsra, illetve azonos ár mellett a laborhúsból készült húspogácsát is mindössze 2,9% választaná, szemben a hagyományos húspogácsát preferálók 80,2%-ával. Mindez összhangban áll a magyar fogyasztók új élelmiszerektől való magas szintű idegenkedésével (élelmiszerneofóbiával), illetve arra utal, hogy a már rögzült fogyasztói szokásoknak és preferenciáknak nagy a szerepe a fogyasztói magatartás alakulásában. Ugyanakkor elmondható, hogy a növényi húshelyettesítőket már kipróbáló fogyasztók laborhúskipróbálási hajlandósága lényegesen nagyobb azokkal összehasonlítva, akik még nem próbálták ki e helyettesítőket, a két csoport között tehát átjárás van, így valószínűleg ez a szegmens lesz az üzletek elsődleges célcsoportja. Emellett a kipróbálási és rendszeres fogyasztási hajlandóság a fiatalok, a magukat nagyon egészségés környezettudatosnak valló fogyasztók, valamint Közép-Magyarország lakóinak körében is lényegesen magasabb a többi szegmenshez képest. A vállalatoknak ezért célszerű lehet elsőként ezeket a célcsoportokat megszólítaniuk és üzeneteikben hatékonyan koncentrálni a laborhús előnyös tulajdonságaira. A válaszadók szerint a két legfontosabb akadályozó tényező a laborhús kipróbálása kapcsán az élelmiszerbiztonság kérdése és a termék élvezeti értéke, így a vállalatoknak bizonyítaniuk kell, hogy az új termék nem káros az egészségre, ugyanakkor kóstoltatással azt is igazolniuk kell, hogy az élvezeti értéke (íze) nem tér el a hagyományos húsféléktől.

Published: November 2024

This review outlines a framework for tailoring consumer-centric communication to boost solar energy adoption in U.S. households. In response to growing environmental concerns and the need for sustainable energy solutions, this framework is designed to enhance residential solar adoption rates by customizing communication strategies to diverse consumer profiles. By leveraging consumer behavior insights, the framework addresses critical factors such as individual perceptions, social influences, financial considerations, and technological barriers that affect consumers' solar adoption decisions. The proposed framework emphasizes understanding various consumer segments, including early adopters, environmentally conscious individuals, and budget-focused households, to design targeted communication strategies. It integrates key elements like demographic analysis, psychographic profiling, and attitudinal segmentation to build a comprehensive picture of potential solar consumers. Using these insights, the framework proposes tailored messaging that resonates with each segment’s unique motivations and concerns, such as energy cost savings, environmental impact, and long-term investment value. To maximize engagement, the framework recommends deploying these tailored messages across a mix of digital and traditional media channels, ensuring optimal reach and relevance. Social media, for instance, can be effectively used to reach environmentally conscious and tech-savvy segments, while community events and local partnerships may better engage older or budget-focused demographics. Moreover, the framework advocates for the use of testimonials, data visualization, and interactive content to enhance credibility and user experience, further breaking down perceived barriers such as installation costs, maintenance concerns, and technology reliability. By focusing on consumer-centric communication, this framework aims to increase awareness, interest, and trust in solar energy solutions, thereby fostering a supportive environment for adoption. It also highlights the importance of iterative feedback mechanisms to continuously refine strategies and address emerging consumer needs. Ultimately, this framework serves as a strategic guide for policymakers, marketers, and solar companies to drive meaningful consumer engagement, boost conversion rates, and contribute to the broader goal of achieving sustainable energy adoption across the U.S. residential sector.

African nations have experienced various environmental and anthropological changes, including climate change, natural disasters, food safety issues, and increased industrial waste. These changes have increased the risk of emerging endemic microorganisms and intensified the transmission and impact of existing endemic communicable diseases (ECDs). This paper reviews the literature on the repercussions of ECDs, such as malaria, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), tuberculosis (TB), and viral hepatitis diseases (VHD) in Africa. The narrative review involved an extensive search of published articles and grey literature on these selected ECDs in Africa between January 2000 and December 2022. Through case studies on malaria, NTDs, HIV/AIDS, TB, and VHD, the effects of these ECDs on public health, economic development, and social systems in Africa were demonstrated, as they continue to be major causes of morbidity and mortality in the African region. It was emphasized that underlying social and economic factors contribute to the vulnerabilities associated with these diseases. In conclusion, providing services through community care workers can improve families’ trust, awareness of social support, and recognition of domestic vulnerabilities.

Published: November 2024

A Proteção de Dados Pessoais é alçada ao status de Direito Fundamental autônomo no ordenamento brasileiro, à luz do disposto na Constituição Federal e do construído na experiência dos Tribunais Superiores. O presente artigo, assim, buscou compreender o atual estado da arte do escorço regulatório nesse contexto, verificando o papel da Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados à luz do ecossistema fundado na própria Constituição Federal de 1988. Objetivou-se, ainda, compreender as consequências do reconhecimento do caráter fundamental da autodeterminação informativa e a correlação da ANPD com outros órgãos com competência regulatória, fiscalizatória e sancionatória. Concluiu-se, ainda, que a complexidade do enforcement em proteção de dados se descortina a partir do quadro de pluralismo de fontes jurídicas aplicadas à Administração Pública, o que representa uma confluência de entidades regulatórias no cenário brasileiro. Ademais, a complexidade do enforcement não representa enfraquecimento ou fragmentação da estrutura regulatória em proteção de dados, posto que a LGPD dispõe de mecanismo de cooperação entre os diversos órgãos regulatórios com potencial competência administrativa, denotando à ANPD o papel central nessa articulação, a partir de técnicas de gestão de conhecimento e articulação contínua.

This section of the series focuses on “Judicial Review and the Filters to Access Supreme and Constitutional Courts”. The first paper in the row, published in the year 2019, analyzed the Constitutionality Priority Question (Question Prioritaire de Constitutionnalité – QPC) in France. In a second paper, we analyzed the writ of certiorari of the U.S. Supreme Court. In this third text, we approach the process according to which the Supreme Court of Canada picks cases from hundreds that reach it every year and the strategies that the Court adopts to select these cases. The paper focuses specifically on Section 41(1) of the Supreme Court Act (amended in 1975), the leave to appeal and their operation in practice.
Upholding the independence of constitutional courts in the EU beyond illiberal tendencies. Towards further convergence?
Authors: Steible Bettina
Published: November 2024

This article explores the impact of the CJEU case law on the independence of constitutional courts in EU member states that have not experienced an illiberal shift, and whether it will lead to further convergence among EU members regarding their models of constitutional justice. While EU standards on judicial independence have justifiably emerged in a context of crisis, they have become autonomous standards of EU law, applicable to all EU member states. However, such standards may be at odds with the current legal frameworks and practices operating in some EU member states. This paper argues that the development of EU standards on judicial independence and impartiality may positively impact member states that do not experience a rule of law decline. On the one hand, they underline possible anomalies that may exist in the appointment procedures of national constitutional judges. On the other hand, this tension paves the way for a European dialogue on the definition of constitutional justice and the promotion of a rule of law culture.

HEARING THE VOICE OF WOMEN WORKING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA

Published: November 2024

Early childhood development (ECD) has the potential to change society. Researchers globally recognise the importance of early intervention on children’s overall well-being and development, impacting their personality and social behaviour. When developing policies to support early childhood development, some questions arise regarding the implementation’s practicality. The National Integrated Development Plan for Early Childhood Development in South Africa aims to transform ECD service delivery in South Africa to address critical gaps and ensure comprehensive, universally available, and equitable early childhood development services. Providing quality places for care and education for children between the ages of 0-7 years is emphasised as a critical component of the overall plan toward eradicating poverty. Research indicates that the lack of quality ECD learning environments is one of the critical challenges impacting negatively on achieving the intended transformation. This research paper explores the experiences of the principals and teachers of a selection of 8 ECD centres situated in Outerwest eThekwini. The research is conducted through a theoretical lens of spatial justice for ECD children and their teachers/carers in South Africa. The study is framed within the ecological systems theory developed by Bronfenbrenner, providing an understanding of the complexity of their context. The research design follows a constructivist approach of interviews and participation, enabling voice to a marginalised group within an interpretive/ transformative paradigm. The research findings expose the multiple levels of inequality and the resilience of the women who serve the ECD sector in South Africa.

No Brasil, a carne de frango se destaca como o principal produto de exportação no seguimento de proteínas animais, garantindo lugar entre um dos principais exportadores e gerando grande faturamento. Na última década, a região Centro-Oeste vem passando por uma significativa expansão nessa produção animal. A avicultura é uma das mais importantes atividades pecuárias no mundo devido ao seu alto potencial de fornecer proteína animal de baixo custo. No entanto, desde o seu início, a principal ameaça a essa atividade tem sido a ocorrência de doenças infectocontagiosas que diminuem a produção. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi verificar a ocorrência de anticorpos contra Salmonella pullorum, Mycoplasma gallisepticum e Mycoplasma synoviae em aves domésticas de criatórios de exploração não tecnificada e/ou com finalidade de subsistência localizados na cidade de Mineiros/GO. Foram selecionadas e cadastradas 14 propriedades rurais, que possuíam no mínimo dez animais, em que houve a coleta de 465 amostras de sangue de galinhas (Gallus gallus domesticus), submetidas a técnica de soroaglutinação rápida (SAR) em placa com antígenos comerciais. Os dados obtidos indicaram 60,3% das amostras positivas para anticorpos contra Salmonella pullorum, 29,2% possuíam anticorpos contra Mycoplasma synoviae e 98,9% das amostras continham anticorpos contra o Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Os resultados indicaram a ampla distribuição de anticorpos contra os agentes das enfermidades analisadas, em criações de aves em sistema extensivo, deixando clara a necessidade da implementação de medidas de biosseguridade, visando uma melhora na produção desses plantéis e maior segurança para a atividade avícola industrial.

Muitos fatores que influenciam os resultados finais de uma prótese sobre implante foram identificados, incluindo a morfologia gengival e seu plano de orientação, o biotipo periodontal, a posição do lábio superior e inferior durante o sorriso relaxado e forçado, oclusão, espaço interdental adequado e espaço interoclusal. Outros aspectos cirúrgicos são aqueles relacionados à regeneração e reconstrução óssea, o tipo de incisão, a técnica de elevação do retalho, a posição e colocação adequadas do implante. Aspectos protéticos, como forma do dente, cor, diferentes tipos de pilares, materiais restauradores estéticos, entre muitos outros fatores, também devem ser incluídos. Dessa forma o objetivo principal desta pesquisa é apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre finalização de próteses sobre implantes. Tendo razoavelmente aperfeiçoado a escolha do implante, a tentativa do implantodontista é alcançar a perfeição em estética em tecidos moles, bem como, alcançar uma gengiva esteticamente atraente e estruturas associadas com aparência natural. A busca pela perfeição nunca acaba. Esta revisão cobre uma visão geral sobre as considerações estéticas no planejamento cirurgia de implante dentário.

Qui, tra le discipline. L’occasione vivente e un laboratorio transdisciplinare
Authors: Cambria Florinda
Published: November 2024

L’articolo parte da una riflessione intorno al tema dell’Interpretante in Peirce, inteso come intreccio di pratiche che determinano il processo di costruzione della verità. In secondo luogo, alla luce della filosofia di Carlo Sini, la nozione di Interpretante viene riletta nella prospettiva della sua occasione vivente: incarnazione finita e determinata che accade tra le discipline conoscitive e i corrispondenti abiti di risposta. Infine, viene ricordato il centro di formazione Mechrí – Laboratorio di Filosofia e Cultura come caso esemplificativo di una filosofia e una politica culturale ispirate al principio della transdisciplinarità.
