Published: October 2024

Wiejskie gospodarstwa stanowią ponad 2/5 ogółu polskich gospodarstw domowych, a według kolejnych spisów powszechnych ich liczba rośnie. Celem artykułu jest ocena wielkości i struktury wydatków w polskich gospodarstwach domowych zlokalizowanych na wsiach, a także wskazanie na czynniki determinujące konsumpcję w wiejskich gospodarstwach domowych. Mimo przeobrażeń polskiej wsi na przestrzeni ostatnich lat nadal można odnaleźć cechy różnicujące gospodarstwa domowe miejskie i wiejskie. Na podstawie przeprowadzonej analizy z wykorzystaniem indywidualnych danych z budżetów gospodarstw domowych GUS głównymi determinantami poziomu i struktury wydatków w wiejskich gospodarstwach domowych są wielkość dochodu rozporządzalnego na jedną osobę oraz wielkość gospodarstwa domowego. Znaczącą rolę odgrywają też cechy społeczne i demograficzne gospodarstw domowych, które łącznie z poziomem dochodów są odpowiedzialne za tworzenie określonych struktur wydatków konsumpcyjnych w gospodarstwach domowych.

Алтай в этнософской картине мира
Authors: В. Малинов А , А. Куприянов В
Published: October 2024

Рассматриваются современные процессы, происходящие в национальном сознании коренного населения Горного Алтая – алтайцев. Указывается, что современный этап национального самосознания можно обозначить как этнософский, претендующий на создание собственной национальной философии. Попытку выразить национальную философию следует считать признаком молодого этноса, который стремится проявить себя в интеллектуальной сфере. Отмечается, что этнософия представляет собой не философское знание, а является разновидностью мифологического мышления, которое лишено рефлексии и ориентируется не на размышление и разумную оценку, а на проживание и действие. Опасность этнософии состоит в архаизации сознания, в ориентации на прошлое, а не будущее. В качестве примера такого мифологического мышления раскрывается содержание этнософских представлений об Алтае. Принятие населением подобных мифологических представлений блокирует критическую рефлексию и позволяет манипулировать сознанием и поведением народа.
Этнополитогенез хинди гиперэтноса и возможный распад Индии во второй четверти XXI века
Authors: Р.Г. Сайфуллин
Published: October 2024

Рассматривается этнополитогенез государствообразующего для современной Индии хинди гиперэтноса на основе анализа археологических данных и динамики созданных хинди общностями государств. Показано, что этнополитогенез хинди гиперэтноса развивался в целом в соответствии с числовым алгоритмом, и что существующие в настоящее время общности хинди-4 находятся в неустойчивом состоянии первого кризиса инерционной фазы. На этой основе прогнозируется развитие хинди-4. В зависимости от вариантов развития конфликтной динамики на Западе для хинди-4, а также находящихся в неустойчивых состояниях субэтносов телугу, каннада и тамилов представлены два сценария. Если в середине – второй половине 2020-х гг. в западных странах начнутся гражданские войны, то это приведет к реэмиграции индийских иммигрантов-пассионариев на родину в хиндиязычные штаты, Андхра-Прадеш, Карнатаку и Тамилнад и к началу там масштабных смут во второй половине 2020-х – 2030-х гг. В случае сохранения стабильного внутриполитического положения в западных странах в ближайшие десятилетия наиболее вероятное время начала смут с последующим возможным распадом Индии – это середина XXI в.

The Rise of New Banks: Disrupting the Traditional Banking Landscape
Authors: Gupta Rahul
Published: October 2024

Neobanks are online - only, digital - only financial institutions. They are, to put it simply, non - existent. Customers may need to invest a significant amount of time and effort in typical bank transactions. Neobanks add an immersive digital layer to traditional banking, promising a smooth online experience. [1] Neo banks frequently provide a comprehensive array of financial services that may be accessed via their mobile applications or websites, such as checking and savings accounts, loans, payments, investments, and budgeting tools. Neo banks place a high priority on data privacy and security. [2]. Nonetheless, new banks continue to face difficulties with regulatory compliance. Opportunities might be found in developing user experience technology and providing creative, customised financial products. Neo banks are becoming more and more popular, but traditional banks won't likely disappear anytime soon because both may survive and meet distinct client needs in the changing banking environment.

Background The shortage of neurologists in rural areas limits patient access, making it hard for those with neurological conditions to receive timely care. Long travel distances are a barrier, often resulting in worsened health outcomes. The review aims to assess the current landscape of tele-neurology, examining existing services, evaluating patient outcomes, and identifying challenges and legal concerns. Methods This review brings together insights from multiple studies and programs, with a particular focus on initiatives like the clinical video tele-health (CVT) system created by the Veterans Health Administration, allowing neurologists to deliver direct care to veterans. We also look into the web-based tele-stroke program established by the University of South Carolina, enabling neurologists to oversee acute ischemic stroke patients in rural Emergency Departments in collaboration with local ED physicians. Additionally, we explore global partnerships in telemedicine that are being tailored for tele-neurology. Results Tele-neurology has demonstrated significant potential in delivering quality neurological care, resulting in high patient satisfaction and notable time and cost savings. The TRUST-tPA trial established a tele-stroke network connecting ten community hospital emergency rooms to a centralized stroke center, effectively serving patients unable to reach stroke units within the critical 4.5-hour window.

Authors: Trianoski Rosilani , Iwakiri Setsuo , Matos Jorge Luis Monteiro , Costa Amanda Thaynara da Silva , Casagrande Leandro Bertoli
Published: October 2024

Plywood panels are products of great importance in the global market, and Brazil is a large producer of conifer plywood, which boosts industrial activities in the south of the country and consequently contributes to the Brazilian GDP. Pinus patula is an unconventional species that requires study for this purpose. Thus, this research aimed to evaluate the potential for using Pinus patula wood for the production of pure plywood panels and in combination with Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus dunnii. 8 treatments were produced, pure and in combination of species, which were glued with phenol formaldehyde adhesive, in a grammage of 180 g/m2 and a solids content from the adhesive formulation of 34%, and pressed at a temperature of 140°C for 13 minutes at a specific pressure of 11 kgf/cm2. Pinus taeda was used as a reference species. The physical and mechanical properties were evaluated according to the ABNT NBR 17002 and ABNT ISO 12466 standards. The results demonstrated that, for the majority of the properties evaluated, the Pinus patula panels were statistically equal or superior in relation to Pinus taeda. The “combi” type panels showed that the Eucalyptus species contributed to improving the static bending property. It is concluded, therefore, that Pinus patula has potential for the production of plywood panels, allowing an increase in the availability and diversity of raw materials for industrial processes, and that the static bending property can be improved with the production of panels of the “combi'' type using Eucalyptus veneers.

Authors: Abdelghani Lakroune , Belhi Guerira , Noureddine Belghar , Billel Litouche , Billel Rebai
Published: October 2024

This research conducts an extensive numerical investigation into the enhancement of heat transfer in wavy-walled channels using aluminum oxide-water nanofluids. The study examines the impact of key parameters, including geometric aspects (wave spacing ratio: 0-1), operational conditions (Reynolds number: 5,000-20,000), and varying nanofluid concentrations (1-6% by volume). The results indicate that zero wave spacing combined with a nanofluid concentration of 4% provides the most favorable thermal performance, resulting in a heat transfer enhancement of up to 2.5 times when compared to conventional smooth channels. While the wavy channel geometries significantly improve heat transfer, they also impose additional pressure drops, revealing a critical trade-off between enhanced thermal performance and the increased pumping power required. The study highlights the balance necessary between maximizing heat transfer and maintaining operational efficiency, particularly in systems where space is limited. These findings contribute valuable insights to the design of heat exchange systems that demand both high thermal efficiency and compact dimensions, such as those used in electronics cooling or energy-efficient HVAC systems. Additionally, the study explores the influence of the Reynolds number on both thermal and hydrodynamic behavior within the wavy channels, providing a thorough performance evaluation across different operational ranges. The conclusions drawn from this investigation offer practical guidance for optimizing heat exchanger designs, taking into account both thermal resistance and overall system performance under varying conditions.

Authors: Ali Mehamdia , Moufida Gherdaoui , Rebai Billel , Abdelkrim Maanser , Fatiha Boudjedra , Wafa Djebabla
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the mechanical properties of composite materials reinforced with aluminum fibers of varying lengths and concentrations. The research aims to evaluate the effects of fiber reinforcement on both flexural and compressive strengths, using fibers of three distinct lengths (2×20 mm, 2×30 mm, and 2×40 mm) and four different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%) by weight within the composite matrix. Mechanical tests were performed after 28 and 56 days of curing to assess the influence of fiber reinforcement over time. The results demonstrate that increasing fiber length and concentration generally improves the flexural and compressive strengths, with the most notable gains observed at moderate fiber content. However, the study also finds that excessively high fiber percentages may lead to diminishing returns in strength performance, possibly due to fiber agglomeration or stress concentration effects. These findings provide valuable insights into optimizing the design of fiber-reinforced composite materials for various structural applications, enhancing both performance and material efficiency.

Published: October 2024

Topological data analysis (TDA) is a powerful tool used to extract meaningful properties from the topological structure of data, enabling the discovery of complex relationships and patterns within datasets. It provides a unique perspective by focusing on the shape and structure of data rather than traditional statistical methods. In our research, we aim to explore the impact of stochastic processes on TDA. Specifically, we investigate how introducing stochastic calculations can enhance the analysis of topological features, offering a more nuanced understanding of the data. Stochastic processes account for randomness and variability, which are inherent in many real-world datasets. By integrating these processes into TDA, we can uncover more precise relationships between data points and obtain deeper insights into the underlying topological structures. Our work highlights the advantages of this approach, particularly in improving the robustness and accuracy of TDA in the presence of noise and variability. The results of this research have the potential to broaden the applicability of TDA in fields such as biology, neuroscience, and machine learning, where complex data structures are common, and stochastic behavior often plays a critical role in shaping the data’s characteristics.
Indirect estimation of compressive strength of cement-stabilized mine tailings by using ultrasonic pulse velocity for road construction
Authors: Malaoui Rachida , Djellali Adel , Arabet Leila , Benbouza Assma , Sarker Debojit , Bensaid Djillali
Published: October 2024

This study proposes a correlation formula between the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity UPV, and dynamic elastic modulus of cement-stabilized mine tailings CSMT. Samples were tested in curing times (1, 7, 14, 28, and 90 days) by cement amounts (2%, 4%, 6%). The findings demonstrated that the strength and wave velocities of CSMT were enhanced due to increased cement content and extended curing periods. A regression equation with a high coefficient of determination (R-square >0.95) was developed to establish a relationship between compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity UPV for tailings containing 6% cement content in both treated types. The study uncovered a strong relationship between pulse velocity and compressive strength in different CSMT mixtures. These findings indicate that UPV tests can accurately, rapidly, and without causing damage, and evaluate the compressive strength of CSMT for road paving. The results improve the advancement of environmentally friendly building materials and showcase the efficacy of non-destructive ultrasonic testing in assessing structural characteristics. The investigation has profound consequences in enhancing the quality and management of road construction industry, and the management of mining waste.
Fredholm integro-differential equation with weak singularities: a combined analytical and numerical study
Authors: Bazine Imane , Lemita Samir
Published: October 2024

This study is dedicated to the analytical and numerical investigation of a nonlinear Fredholm integro-differential equation, specifically one that is characterized by weakly singular kernels. The primary challenge addressed is the weak singularity in the kernel, which complicates the solution process. To tackle this, we employ a combination of two techniques: the Nyström method and the product integration method. The Nyström method is used for approximating the solution to the Fredholm integro-differential equation, while the product integration technique is applied to handle the singular behavior of the kernel effectively. In addition to developing these numerical methods, we rigorously prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution within the appropriate functional spaces. The theoretical results are complemented by practical demonstrations through numerical examples, which are presented to verify and illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach. The results show that the combined methods can efficiently address the challenges posed by weakly singular kernels in Fredholm integro-differential equations.

Authors: Bencheikh Salah Eddine , Sebrou Wafa , Sebgag Sana , Goudjil Mohamed Bilal , Segni Ladjel
Published: October 2024

Our study explores the potential of utilizing peanut shells, an abundant and low-cost food waste, as a natural adsorbent for the removal of industrial dyes, specifically methylene blue. We conducted a detailed investigation of the adsorption process, which revealed that it conforms to both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, indicating the ability of peanut shells to adsorb methylene blue effectively. To optimize the adsorption yield, we employed a Box-Behnken experimental design. This approach allowed us to assess the impact of several key factors, including the mass of the adsorbent, dye concentration, pH, temperature, stirring rate, and the ionic strength of salts in the solution. The mathematical model and simulation of the adsorption process helped us identify the best conditions for maximizing the dye removal. Our experiments resulted in a maximum adsorption efficiency of 97%, achieved under optimal conditions: 1.5 g of adsorbent, a methylene blue concentration of 40 mg/L, pH 11, temperature of 65°C, 0 mg/L ionic strength, and a stirring rate of 165 rpm. These findings suggest that peanut shells are a viable, eco-friendly alternative for dye removal, offering a sustainable solution for wastewater treatment and contributing to waste reduction.
Confidence ellipses for simple regression parameters with Quasi-associated random errors
Authors: Moumen Abdelkader el , Bouzidi Mohammed
Published: October 2024

The work presented in this paper introduces a novel methodology for constructing confidence regions for linear regression parameters using ellipses, particularly in cases where the random errors are quasi-associated. Linear regression is widely employed in statistical analysis to predict a dependent variable using one or more independent variables. Traditionally, it is assumed that random errors in regression models follow a normal distribution. However, this assumption may not hold in many practical applications where errors exhibit dependencies. Thus, this study focuses on quasi-associated random variables, which include both positively and negatively associated variables.We derive exponential inequalities that allow the construction of confidence ellipses for least squares estimates of model parameters. This approach is applied to a Keynesian consumption function, which models the relationship between consumption and national income. Using data on monthly per capita income in Africa over 12 years, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in estimating regression parameters when the random errors are quasi-associated. The findings show that this technique can improve the accuracy of statistical models used in fields such as economics and engineering, especially in cases where the traditional assumptions of regression analysis are not met.

Published: October 2024

Drilling operations, a critical phase in oil and gas extraction, generate substantial amounts of drilling fluids and cuttings containing hazardous materials, including heavy metals and hydrocarbons. If not managed properly, these by-products can cause severe environmental damage, such as soil contamination, water pollution, and disruption of ecosystems. As global efforts emphasize the importance of sustainability and environmental conservation, finding effective solutions for managing drilling waste becomes crucial.This study focuses on the treatment and recycling of drilling mud generated from the Zarzaitine oil fields, located in the Illizi basin, 30 kilometers east of In Amenas. The adopted methodology relies on stabilization and solidification (S/S) techniques, which are widely used to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous waste. These processes convert harmful drilling sludge into more stable and less toxic materials, minimizing the risks associated with its disposal.Implementing such solutions aligns with sustainable waste management principles in the oil and gas industry. By recycling drilling fluids and reducing hazardous waste, companies can meet stricter environmental regulations while lowering the environmental impact of their operations. Furthermore, the recycled products can sometimes be repurposed, promoting a circular economy approach.The findings of this research highlight the effectiveness of stabilization and solidification methods in mitigating environmental hazards. It demonstrates that proper waste treatment not only protects natural resources but also encourages a shift towards more environmentally responsible practices in oil and gas extraction. Through this approach, the Zarzaitine oil fields can serve as a model for sustainable waste management in the region.
