A comparative analysis of HIV-1 and hepatitis C virus (HCV) among patients with monoinfection as well a co-infection residing in constituent entities of the Far Eastern Federal district. It was established that HIV-1 sub-subtype A1 (84.7%) was detected more frequently among people living with HIV (PLWH) compared to individuals co-infected with HIV-1 and HCV (62.8%). Among the latter, prevalence of HIV-1 recombinant forms was 2.7 times higher (32.6%) compared to HIV monoinfected people (11.9%). HCV subtype 3a was identified more frequently among patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HCV (49.1%). HCV 1b (40.6%), 2 (5.7%) and 1a (4.7%) genovariants were less common. However, in general, there were practically no differences in the distribution of HCV genotypes between examined groups. In addition to evaluating general patterns of pathogens genetic variants circulation, it is advisable to estimate peculiarities of their distribution depending on gender and presence of co-infection.
Study of capillary injection of chemicals into productive formations to increase well production
Authors: Ovetskyi Serhii , Yakymechko Yaroslav
Published: August 2024

The study of the capillary systems of hydrocarbon reservoirs is an important and urgent task, especially in view of the large number of reservoirs that are at a late stage of production and the great prospects for the development of unconventional reservoirs, especially tight and shale reservoirs. For these reservoirs, increasing the permeability of the capillary systems allows the flow rate to be increased by 15-20%. This requires new approaches, in particular the investigation of the possibilities of additional hydrocarbon recovery using the properties of capillary systems. The aim of the research is to identify the main factors influencing the capillary system of the oil reservoir in order to increase the productivity of the well and to develop means and measures for influencing them. To this end, a system of laboratory and digital studies of capillary systems in terms of their permeability to the oil phase in various reservoirs has been used. The effect on capillary systems is considered for the purpose of increasing oil flow from rocks of different permeability based on the data obtained, which indicate improvement filtration characteristics of samples when introduced into the samples that simulate the borehole zone of the reservoir of the oil well proposed for the use of sodium soap - an increased permeability for smaller particles by 25%, for the largest - by 72%, medium - by 3%. The saturation curves of the samples also changed and in their character came as close as possible to the dynamics of average grain sizes. All the samples studied with the use of a capillary admixture show only an improvement in the characteristics of reducing fluid adhesion to the pore walls compared to the results without such impurities (by 78% for collectors of low porosity, 50% for collectors of high porosity, 41% for collectors of medium porosity). From this it can be concluded that the benefits of introducing additives to increase capillary permeability are significant for low and high porosity structures. Priority characteristics of the wellbore zone of the formation have been identified for which such treatment will be effective. The practical value of the research lies in the identification of possible factors that would allow the management of the permeability of the capillary systems of different collectors of oil fields at a late stage of operation

Authors: Kondrat Oleksandr , Shumilin Taras
Published: August 2024

Electrospark discharges in liquids are the subject of numerous studies, as they are a source of powerful wave pulses that can be used in various technological processes. One of the first researchers of this phenomenon was L.O. Yutkin, who substantiated and investigated the electrohydraulic effect (EHE). This effect allows to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy of powerful shock waves, which opens up great opportunities for increasing the efficiency of various technologies. The purpose of the study is to analyze the history of the study of electric spark discharges in liquids, the contribution of L.O. Yutkin to the development of the theory and practical application of the EHE, and to highlight the advantages of wave treatments based on this effect. In the course of the study, scientific papers and experimental data obtained in the study of electrospark discharges in liquids and the electrohydraulic effect were analyzed. The theoretical foundations of these phenomena were considered, as well as practical applications of EHE in various industries. The electrohydraulic effect (EHE), discovered by L.O. Yutkin, is a unique phenomenon that allows converting electrical energy into mechanical energy of powerful shock waves. This is achieved by generating an electric discharge in a liquid, which leads to the formation of a plasma channel and the subsequent occurrence of a shock wave. The main advantage of wave treatments based on EHE is the ability to introduce large amounts of energy into the medium, which allows to increase the efficiency of numerous technological processes. The electrohydraulic Yutkin effect remains an inexhaustible source for the creation of advanced technologies that are already widely used in many industries
Prospects for increasing fluid production from sand and clay formations within the Precarpathian and Transcarpathian troughs
Authors: Loktiev Andrii , Hrytsanchuk Andrii , Loktiev Andrii
Published: August 2024

The experience of geological studies of the Precarpathian and Transcarpathian depressions indicates that the main reservoir rocks containing reservoir fluids, including gas and reservoir waters, are sand formations. There?ore, it is necessary to review the results obtained during exploration and prospecting works for gas, including within the sand-clay formations of both the Outer zone of Precarpathian and Transcarpathian depressions. In the past, many prospective gas objects were not tested in the Neogene sand-clay formations during exploration and prospecting works for gas. In the sand-clay formations, the sandiness of clays has long been considered as the ratio of the sum of all sandy layers to its total thickness. However, there are also numerous intervals between sandy layers in clay deposits, which represent thinly layered clay packages with dispersed psammitic fraction in various percentage ratios. Petrophysical parameters of these packages almost do not differ from enclosing clay rocks. As a result, many commercial gas-bearing horizons in such packages were missed. The main criterion for the gas potential of thinly layered sand-clay packages is the presence of differentiation of the psammitic fraction, which we have named sandiness. It has been established that the determination of the criterion of differentiation of the sandy fraction in the sand-clay package is best carried out by carefully studying the sludge and by applying research on the sandiness of the drilling fluid sample exiting the wellbore to the surface. When planning exploration, prosp?cting, and production of both gas and thermal water from Neogene deposits of the Outer zone of Precarpathian and Transcarpathian depressions by drilling horizontal wells, it is necessary to take into account not only the criterion of sandiness but also the sandiness of rocks. Since the thickness of such horizons is usually insignificant, inclined drilling of wells should be applied to obtain maximum fluid influxes. The application of these approaches will allow for the expansion of the hydrocarbon resource base and can also be applied to thermal water energy resources

Published: August 2024

To increase the hydraulic efficiency of pipelines and reduce the rate of intra-pipe corrosion, it is necessary to regularly clean their internal cavity from various contaminants. This especially applies to gathering pipeline systems, heat and gas networks, pollution of which leads to a decrease in gas production volumes and a significant increase in energy costs for transportation. Traditional methods of cleaning such pipeline systems do not always make it possible to increase the hydraulic efficiency of pipelines, besides, they are accompanied by production and technological losses of gas. This can be prevented by using cleaning pigs, however, due to a number of complications for such pipelines, it is necessary to develop and select pigs with increased throughput and study the influence of their material and geometric shape on the efficiency of pipeline cleaning. Therefore, the purpose of the work is to study the dynamics of the movement of cleaning pigs of different geometric shapes made of various hyperelastic materials through horizontal and lowered section of pipelines and their cleaning processes. For such studies, technologies for manufacturing test samples of cleaning pigs of different geometric shapes from various hyperelastic materials have been developed. In order to study the dynamics of the movement of each test sample, determine its throughput and evaluate the effectiveness of its cleaning of pipelines, an experimental installation with glass pipes and elbows was developed and assembled, which contains long horizontal and lowered section. The through-conduit of each test sample of the cleaning pig and the effectiveness of its cleaning of the pipeline were determined experimentally. Based on the results of research, the geometric shape of test samples of cleaning pigs was adjusted to increase their through-conduit. A plan for progressive verification of the pig for cleaning the gahering pipeline systems, heat and gas networks has also been developed, which makes it possible to choose the most effective pig

Published: August 2024

The features of thermodynamic calculations for achieving the technologically necessary temperature of bitumen in the process of its heating with the help of a coil heater are considered. Based on the results of experimental studies, refined mathematical models were developed for calculating the main thermophysical properties (density, kinematic viscosity, isobaric heat capacity, coefficient of thermal conductivity and volume expansion) of bitumen grade BND 60/90 and hot coolant of thermal oil AMT-300, which used for heating bitumen. Analytical dependences are proposed, which make it possible to adequately estimate the value of heat transfer coefficients for various types of heat exchange, depending on the type of container where bitumen is stored. A detailed algorithm for calculating the necessary bitumen heating time is presented, taking into account the criteria of similarity of speed and thermal fields, physical properties of the coolant and bitumen, storage temperature and ambient air. Approbation of the proposed methodology was carried out on the example of the calculation of BND 60/90 bitumen stored in a horizontal tank with thermal insulation. Graphical dependences have been obtained, which make it possible to estimate the technologically necessary time to heat up BND 60/90 bitumen to a given temperature, depending on the ambient temperature, volumetric flow rate, and the temperature of the hot coolant at the entrance to the heat exchanger

Published: August 2024

El aceite de oliva, un componente esencial de la dieta mediterránea destaca por ser la principal fuente de grasas en esta alimentación y por aportar componentes de alto valor nutricional. Más allá de su impacto en el perfil lipídico, el aceite de oliva también juega un papel importante en el control de los niveles de azúcar en la sangre y la presión arterial. Entre sus propiedades destacan sus efectos antioxidantes y antiinflamatorios, la reducción del riesgo de formación de trombos y la promoción de la vasodilatación, todos contribuyentes significativos a la salud cardiovascular. 
Estos efectos beneficiosos del aceite de oliva se deben principalmente a su alto contenido de grasas monoinsaturadas y micronutrientes, en particular los compuestos fenólicos. A nivel clínico, la mayoría de las evidencias sobre estos beneficios provienen de estudios observacionales, que han servido para reafirmar la posición del aceite de oliva como uno de los alimentos más beneficiosos para la salud humana. La variedad de ventajas que ofrece hace que sea un elemento indispensable en una dieta saludable y equilibrada.

Theory of Change Narrative: Care Experienced Sustained Programme for Students and Train the Trainer Programme for Supporters and Influencers
Authors: Self Kelly
Published: August 2024

Higher Education Progression Partnership (Hepp) is a jointly funded initiative by Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield that provides impartial advice and guidance across South Yorkshire and North East Derbyshire. Hepp aims to encourage more children, young people and adults that have experienced personal, systematic, or cultural barriers to accessing higher education to consider it as a viable option. Hepp has identified target groups for activity based on their new strategic approach, which includes care experienced students. Hepp is perfectly positioned as an impartial provider of advice and guidance to support the access of care experienced students. Hepp has existing relationships with virtual schools, foster carer organisations and designated teachers within schools to enable Hepp to connect with students from this underrepresented group. This report provides a narrative and a Theory of Change model for a sustained programme (students) and a Train the Trainer activity (supporters/influencers) which aims to increase awareness and knowledge about higher education. An extensive literature review was undertaken to identify barriers that care experienced students may encounter when accessing higher education. The outcomes of both interventions are articulated as short, medium and long-term outcomes. Within the Train the Trainer activity, there are three main activities that stakeholders will be able to engage with: video programme; foster carer sessions; and stakeholder engagement. The sustained programme for students will involve a launch event, a sustained programme (for year 8 to year 10 students), a celebration event (for year 11 students) and a newsletter.
Evaluation of the Global Citizenship Portfolio
Authors: Donnelly Alan , Houfe Emily , Labinjo Temi
Published: August 2024

This evaluation measured the impact of the Global Citizenship Portfolio (GCP), which is a non-credit bearing module at Sheffield Hallam University that aims to support students to become ‘global citizens’. The GCP engages students in self-directed learning by combining: academic-run sessions; lectures; an intercultural experience which happens on campus, locally or abroad; and reflection. The evaluation was focused on the cohort of 78 students who started the module in October 2019 or January 2020 and completed it in May 2020. A mixed-methods project was conducted to provide quantitative and qualitative evidence from pre and post-module surveys and a sample of reflective journals. The findings of the evaluation highlighted that the GCP has had a positive impact on students’ development in becoming ‘global citizens’. Analysis of the data indicated that the majority of participants in the evaluation have demonstrated evidence of acquiring intercultural competencies, regardless of whether they undertook an experience ‘at home’ or abroad. This will help these students to engage with different value systems, communicate effectively across cultures and understand how their actions and those of others have global consequences. However, the drop in the number of respondents from the pre-module survey to the post-module survey might introduce a bias to the results of the evaluation. Recommendations are provided on the steps that can be taken to enhance the provision of the GCP and to increase the robustness of the evaluation.
