Water availability development through groundwater investigations and estimates: Case study at Landungsari village, Malang regency
Authors: Abduh Moh , Abadi Khoirul , Yani Dandy Achmad
Published: December 2024

The population of Landungsari Village is very large, exceeding 9,000 people. With such a substantial population, the need for clean water and sanitation is also considerable. However, the potential sources of raw water for clean water reserves are very limited, especially surface water. The groundwater level at the study site is also quite deep, particularly in the southern parts of Landungsari Village. Rambakan and Bendungan hamlets have groundwater levels ranging from 15 to 25 meters deep. In contrast, Klandungan hamlet averages over 25 meters, and in the vicinity of Thursina Boarding School, it is more than 40 meters deep, making shallow wells impractical. Meanwhile, the clean water supplied by the PDAM is very limited. To address the issue of clean water availability, an investigation through groundwater estimation is necessary to ensure that the selected locations for deep well exploration are not in vain. The results of groundwater estimation must be representative and provide strong scientific justification for the accuracy of the findings. The method used in this investigation is the geoelectric resistivity method using ADMT-300H, which operates based on Darcy's law. It emits electromagnetic waves and measures soil resistivity to identify aquifer layers and determine the depth and thickness of the aquifer. The results obtained with ADMT-300H include: optimal discharge at well 1 (WL-1) of 3.07 l/s and well 2 (WL-2) of 3.14 l/s. Optimal discharge represents the sustainable limit for utilizing groundwater flow.

Published: December 2024

In the wake of the ongoing global pandemic, maintaining hand hygiene has become paramount to prevent disease transmission. Hand sanitizer serves as a practical solution in situations where access to water and soap is limited, especially in school environments. This article outlines a training program designed for junior high school students participating in the Adiwiyata program, aimed at enhancing their understanding of hand hygiene and empowering them to independently produce hand sanitizer using readily available ingredients. The training program incorporates various steps, including a pre-test to gauge students' initial knowledge, educational sessions highlighting the importance of cleanliness and proper hand hygiene practices, hands-on practice sessions for students to craft hand sanitizer, and post-training evaluation to assess knowledge retention and practical skills. Results indicate a significant improvement in students' knowledge and practical abilities in hand sanitizer production, as well as a heightened awareness of the importance of hand hygiene in disease prevention. By equipping students with the skills to create their own hand sanitizer, the training not only promotes individual health but also aligns with the objectives of the Adiwiyata program by reducing reliance on commercial products containing potentially harmful chemicals and fostering a cleaner, healthier school environment.

Проект планировки новосибирского Академгородка 1958 года: место в истории советской архитектуры
Authors: Духанов Сергей
Published: December 2024

На основе анализа архивных источников и публикаций в советской печати 1957–1958 годов рассматриваются история проектирования и архитектурно-планировочные особенности генерального плана Академгородка в Новосибирске,разработанного в декабре 1957 – январе 1958 года Новосибпроектом. В ноябре 1957 года Академгородок был включён в число экспериментальных проектов, которые должны были символизировать начавшийся в июне 1958 года новый этап советской архитектурной реформы. Проект ярко воплотил в себе новую концепцию города и микрорайона со свободной планировкой, заимствованную из зарубежного градостроительного опыта. Представленный на обсуждение архитектурной общественности в январе-феврале 1958 года, проект опередил свое время и не был понят многими советскими архитекторами.

Published: December 2024

Approximately 52% of the annual radiation dose received by the population from natural radiation sources is attributed to radon exposure. Radon emits radioactive alpha particles and is a significant factor in causing lung cancer through inhalation. In this study, radon concentrations in the building of the Institute of Physics and Technology were measured and used to calculate the effective annual dose received by its employees. Measurements were conducted over 72 hours, selecting one room per floor, with additional measurements in the basement’s changing room, storage room, and corridor. The average radon activity concentrations evaluated within this time frame were as follows: 58 Bq/m³ on the 1st floor, 67 Bq/m³ on the 2nd floor, 102 Bq/m³ on the 3rd floor, 243 Bq/m³ in the basement corridor, 89 Bq/m³ in the basement storage room, and 499 Bq/m³ in the basement changing room. When calculating the effective annual dose based on the radon activity concentrations, all rooms except the basement corridor and changing room were within safe levels according to the National Radiation Safety Norms and the standards of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). The elevated radon concentration in the basement is connected to poor air exchange, direct contact with soil, radon gas seeping through cracks in the floor and walls, and differences in indoor and outdoor air pressure drawing radon into the underground floor. Therefore, residing or working continuously in the basement of the building may increase the risk of developing cancer.

Published: December 2024

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (28 June 1712 – 2 July 1778) was not only French philosopher,

sociologist, aesthetician, pedagogue and composer of 18th-century Romanticism of French expression but also he was one of the greatest representative of the enlightenment period. His political philosophy influenced the French Revolution as well as the overall development of modern political, sociological and educational thought.

He believed that the language of the Arts and Sciences were must be obviously and understandable for the public. It is supposed that it‟s the “embryo” of the public culture which is in contrast to the elite culture. He explained this idea through his viewpoint that the main goal of the Arts and Sciences was to educate the public.

One of the similar features of the hereditary philosophers was to modernize the society, the culture and the traditions as well as at that time the modernizations were revealed by the outstanding intellectuals. According to this custom, Jean-Jacques Rousseau criticized the Arts and the Science as same way as the philosophers above, too.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of the work is to categorize and briefly describe online family services using the
example of accounts on the VKontakte social network. The theoretical and methodological
basis of the study was the concept of intensive motherhood, as well as the concept of professionalization
of parenthood. According to the results of content analysis of information blocks
of specialists’ profiles (n=52 pages/communities) offering certain products, services, content,
the most common and, at the same time, in-demand areas and forms of activity of new support subjects and providers of special competencies of modern parents are identified: neuropsychology/
child psychology, informal/ non-institutionalized practices of preparation for
childbirth, obstetric care and postpartum recovery, assistance in the organization of breastfeeding,
sleep and nutrition of the child, replication of parental life hacks, exclusive methods
of education, game practices. Providers of “new” services are, as a rule, parents (more often
mothers) who have experienced certain difficulties in caring for/raising a child/children and
are ready to broadcast, monetize their “unique” experience, which they subsequently confirmed
and formalized (availability of specialized professional retraining or additional education). Online
platforms are becoming a convenient and accessible channel for the reproduction and
consumption of expert parental knowledge in the form of blogs, webinars, online intensive
courses, etc. This opens up broad prospects for the further development of this segment of
the services market.
Aesthetic aspect of politicians’ image
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, Muzalevskaya Yulia
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The conditions of comfortable communication in society have served as the basis for
a person’s desire for self-expression, which makes
up the necessary impression about him, i.e., to
an image-representation, which has received the
definition of image. The purpose of the image is
to enter the practical sphere in order to achieve
status in society. The aesthetic and psychological
basis of the image expresses visual manifestations
of the spiritual health of the individual, brings
unconscious images to a conscious level. Mastering
the mechanism of effective impact of appearance
is relevant, because it is necessary for everyone,
especially political leaders.
Methods. To carry out the analysis, the following
methods are used: comparative-historical, comprehending the formation of an image in the historical
process; historical-aesthetic, giving an idea of the
image in retrospect; psychological, determining the
psychological and emotional patterns of the image;
associative, allowing to understand the perception
of the politician by the public at an unconscious
level; semiotic, referring to the iconic system of
costume as part of the image. From a sociological
point of view, the needs of society for a certain type
of politician are revealed.
The purpose of the article is to study the features
of building an image and the role of its aesthetic
aspect in the overall assessment of the image of a
leader, using the example of the images
of V. V. Putin, V. F. Zhirinovsky, V. I. Matvienko, to
analyze the possibility of strengthening a positive
image constructed consciously and purposefully.
Scientific novelty of the research. As a result of
analyzing the image of the leaders of the past and
present, the fundamental difference between the
artistic image of vestigial fashion and the unique
design of the public image has been revealed. The
definition of the essence of the image of a politician
is formulated. The assessment of using military and
secular costumes in creating the image of the head
of the country is given.
Results. Studies of the image of politicians show
that the most successful leader is the one with
natural charisma that needs appropriate visual
design. The visual image has a symbolism that
can act as a means of legitimizing political power.
The necessity of further study of the sign-symbolic
system of appearance is revealed.
Conclusions. The image of the head of the country,
created by aesthetic means, embodies an image
that is understandable to his voters, capable of
causing positive emotions of others on an uncon-
scious level, raising the authority of its owner and
trust in him. In a broad sense, the image gives an
idea of an entire epoch and a change in civilizational paradigms.
MEDIEVAL SOURCES ABOUT SLAVIC PAGANISM: THE BULGARIAN-MACEDONIAN REGION
Authors:   National Research Nuclear University MEPHI, ALEXEEV S.V.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the article is to analyze medieval sources about the pre-Christian beliefs of the Slavs of the Bulgarian-Macedonian group. The author notes that the historical, cultural and religious context of the era should be clarified. The analysis helps to understand the political and sociocultural factors that influenced the formation of ideas about Slavic paganism.
The methodology is based on several approaches. An extensive analysis of medieval sources about Slavic paganism in the Bulgarian-Macedonian region is conducted. Some written sources, archaeological finds, icons, manuscripts and other materials that can reveal the nature and characteristics of the pagan beliefs of the Slavs in a given region are studied. A linguistic analysis of medieval sources related to pagan practices in the Bulgarian-Macedonian region is made. The author emphasized that the study of language and rituals can provide insight into the worldview and ideas of the Slavs during this period. The historical, cultural and religious context of that time should also be taken into account in order to interpret correctly the sources about Slavic paganism. The relationship with other pagan beliefs, Christianity and political processes play an important role in the research. The analysis of the sources is carried out critically, taking into account possible distortions, bias of the authors and other factors that may affect their accuracy and reliability. A comparative analysis with other regions and periods in order to identify common features and differences in the pagan practices of the Slavs is worth conducting for a deeper understanding of the problem. The combination of these methodological approaches helps to create a valid study and enrich the knowledge about the pagan beliefs of the Slavs.
The author notes that traditionally, attention is drawn to the lack of information about the pagan religion of the South Slavs in general and the Bulgarian-Macedonian Slavs in particular. However, the article shows that Slavic paganism of the Eastern Balkan region is provided with a significant number of written sources, which to a greater or lesser extent cover all areas of religious and mythological ideas: high and low mythology, historical-epic tradition, cult, ritual and folk magic.
A characteristic feature is the reflection of ancient beliefs through the prism of Christianized culture, primarily in the form of apocryphal tales and «non-canonical prayers»-conspiracies. On the other hand, there are also sources typical of the entire Slavic world, which are polemical in relation to paganism, as well as foreign evidence.
Information about Bulgarian-Macedonian pre-Christian beliefs is sufficiently detailed to provide an overall picture of religious ideas, especially close to East Slavic ones within the Slavic world. They also allow to expand understanding of a number of general issues, including the interaction of Christianity with pre-Christian culture.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has led to the significant influence of Industry 4.0
technologies not only on the development of the real sector of economy but also on nearly all industries and economic sectors, transforming traditional business models into digital ones. Logistics is not an exception from this transformation. Socio-economic and political instability of the recent years has revealed the urgent need for radical changes in logistics to enhance productivity and flexibility.
Materials and methods. The research methodology is grounded in the methods of analysis and synthesis,
induction and deduction, cause-and-effect relationships, comparison, description, and logical reasoning.
Results. The research identified the stages of logistics development - from Logistics 1.0 to Logistics 4.0 and provided their characteristics. It has been found that in recent decades, the logistics sector has evolved under the influence of diverse factors, and during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic, the adoption of digital technologies and the automation of logistics accelerated by several years, giving rise to Logistics 4.0.
The study also examined key digital technologies and innovations employed by modern logistics companies.
Discussion. Based on the analysis of various studies, a relationship between previous industrial
revolutions and associated changes in logistics was identified. The research concludes that in the current environment, the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in logistics is accelerating. A definition of Logistics 4.0 is provided, introducing elements of novelty as a customer-oriented business within value chains, founded on a comprehensive approach to the organization and management of material and information
flows, and featuring digital models that align with the scientific and technological requirements of Industry 4.0. The results obtained are of interest for further research into Logistics 4.0, regarding its conceptualization and evaluation of its practical effectiveness.

Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin, Britvina Irina , Shumilova Polina ,   Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The problems of the reduction and aging of the Russian population, the developing shortage in the labor market cause an urgent need for a migration influx of able-bodied people into the country. Due to the fact that most of the labor migrants are foreign cultural visitors from Central Asian countries, the severity of the problem of cultural integration requires solutions related to the management of social processes.
Materials and methods. Surveys were conducted in Yekaterinburg among citizens in 2016 (N = 485), in 2019 (N = 222) and in 2024 (N = 1400) using the questionnaire method. In 2018, the opinion of the townspeople was studied by in-depth interview (N = 33). Surveys were conducted among nonethnic migrants in 2017 (N = 231) and in 2019 (N = 222), and data on their interviewing in 2017 (N = 16) were collected.
Conflict theory was chosen as a methodological basis, highlighting the growth or decrease of conflict potential between the host community and migrants from Central Asian countries in the study. For the study of cultural identity, the position was approved that it is part of a social identity having a constructivist nature, as well as the concepts of multiplicity, multi - part and multilevel socio-cultural identity were applied.
Results. Studies have shown the presence of attitudes towards mutual integration of the host community to visitors from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, who currently have the most suitable conditions for their implementation, which must be used from the point of view of social management.
Discussion. The study of the potential of the host community in facilitating the integration migrants with different ethnicity into the Russian community is extremely important today. Consideration of the specifics of attitudes towards the acceptance of non-ethnic migrants from Central Asian countries by Russians, as well as the attitudes of newcomers towards the formation of a new consistent migrant identity, allowed us to obtain a reasonable idea of the impact of the attitude of the host community on qualitative inclusion in the reception society. In addition, the dynamics in the development of a positive attitude towards non-resident migrants was revealed, which gives reason to believe that today is the most favorable time for the
development of cultural competencies in the host community, contributing to the cultural integration of newcomers and increasing the migration attractiveness of Russia.

Thermographic imagery technology applied to search and identification of infrared radiation signatures is an area which follows in a high development. The technology has two application fields: military and civilian. Both of them use the same sensors and data processing. In the civilian area this technology is used in agriculture, environmental control, health and others. The military area uses the same technology in the Defense systems like as air-air, surface-air and air-surface missile seekers, biological and chemical warning systems and night vision. Research and development of cryogenic and no-criogenic infrared sensors give to the countries a know-how to make an advanced and superiority missile. This technology is not sold and therefore if someone wants to have the same technology needs to reinforce the technological and industrial areas. The production of sensors in the semiconductor detector form is already a known technology and it is available in some research labs form Brazilian Research Institutes or Universities. The great challenge is to transform those semiconductor detector in final components for assemblies that will be used under severe environmental conditions. The aim of this paper is to show the theoretical bases on the IR detection, the more widely used sensor types and the evolution brought with the use of new detection devices and IR cameras for detection and identification of targets that emit infrared energy.

A conjuntura Político-Econômica 2007-2010 e a Transferência de Tecnologia nos Offsets da Aeronáutica
Authors: Filgueiras Eduardo Quesado
Published: December 2024

This paper analyzes how Brazilian political & economic environment during 2007-2010 timeframe influenced the transfer of technology offsets in the Air Force projects managed by the Coordinating Committee for the Combat Aircraft Program (COPAC), in the light of the National Defense Strategy (END). It is assumed that the latter is inserted into the context of Brazil’s political stability and economic development during the aforementioned period, taking as hypothesis that offsets so conceived achieved higher probability of effective transfer of technology than those conducted during 2000-2006 phase. It was made a qualitative and quantitative research, analyzing COPAC project’s offset implementation programs by way of hypothesis testing for populational means, using a one-tailed t-test for unpaired data. As a result, the null hypothesis was rejected, showing that, in average, transfers increased during the observed interval, thus inferring positive influence on the investigated offsets by the political & economic environment. The qualitative analysis was based on in-depth interviews conducted with COPAC project managers, using key questions related to previously based effectiveness criteria. Specialists’ view was that there was effective transfer of technology during both periods, although a lack of objective validation tools persists, and also a perception of external political factors increasingly influencing projects containing technology transfers within.
A formação da “pródiga filha alada” de Getúlio Vargas e suas primeiras façanhas em um conflito mundial (1941-1945)
Authors: Godoy Tania Regina Pires de , Calaza Claudio Passos
Published: December 2024

The participation of the Brazilian Air Force in World War II left indelible marks on the Force organization. In 1941, it was composed of the naval and military aviations as major elements in its formation, which also had elements of the Sao Paulo Security Force in its constitution. It was a dramatic experience for its commissioned and non commissioned officers because they experienced a sudden change of employment and doctrine to meet the needs of the European conflict which, even in a situation of collapse, offered an insane and terrible resistance to its adversaries. This work presents the political circumstances of the Brazilian alignment to Allied Forces in the early 1940s, coinciding precisely with the creation of the Ministry of Aviation and its armed wing - the Brazilian Air Force. Thus we seek to resolve the lack of a historical non institutional military production which portrays our air fighters and their accomplishments not only in the Brazilian airspace but also in the South Atlantic and in Europe, besides knowing their employment and the elements that composed the heroic memory of the Force.

This brief underscores the economic and environmental importance of forests and looks at ways Asia and the Pacific can develop innovative payments for ecosystem services (PES) that preserve its forests and underpin sustainable development.

The brief explains the region is home to 20% of the world’s forests, which are increasingly under threat as the push for development clashes with the need for ecosystem protection.
Urging an integrated approach, it sets out how governments can set up PES enabling environments, delves into financing challenges, and shows how G20 and G7 countries can support project funding to help take forest finance mainstream.
Laser bonding of conductive tracks on textiles with adapted wavelengths for smart textile applications

Published: December 2024

Smart textiles incorporate materials capable of adapting to environmental changes or electronic components. Electronic components require conductive tracks to be supplied with electricity and to send, for example, information about the environment regarding temperature or humidity. Normally, the production of conductive tracks involves preprocesses and postprocesses like cleaning, coating, and surface modification to improve adhesion or punching, which can result in a damage of the textile. Common methods for the application include printing, embroidery, or weaving. Printing and coating require postprocesses to secure the conductive elements on the fabric. A new approach is the bonding of metal foils by means of laser radiation. To achieve good absorption within the material and eliminate the need for additional steps, adapted wavelengths are used. Challenges for the laser bonded conductive tracks include the durability, flexibility, cost, and compatibility. Initial tests have shown that it is possible to bond conductive tracks with a laser beam that can withstand a specific amount of abrasion and washing cycles. Copper is one of the most important materials regarding electrical signal transmission and shows good absorbance of the wavelength range around 450 nm (blue light) and most thermoplastic polymers around 2 μm. Trials are carried out with different textiles (pure polymers and mixed fabrics) and the parameters such as laser power and welding speed are varied. The conductive tracks are tested regarding abrasion resistance, and the conductivity is measured after specific cycles. Tensile tests are used to check the damage to the textile because of the heat input.
Primary Anorectal Malignant Melanoma (PARM) with Liver Metastasis: Case Report
Authors: Bhandary Panambur Anand
Published: December 2024

Primary Anorectal Malignant Melanoma (PARM) is a rare and aggressive tumor with incidence of 3% of all anorectal cancers.
The tumor may seem like adenocarcinomas, small cell carcinomas, or sarcomas histologically, yet it looks like hemorrhoids
grossly. It is frequently discovered at an advanced stage due to vague symptoms and its aggressive nature, resulting in a bad
prognosis. The prognosis is poor, with a median survival of only 24 months and a 5-year survival rate of < 10%. The majority
of patients die as a result of complications related to metastasis. We are reporting a case of 57year old woman with PARM
with liver metastasis. The diagnosis of primary anorectal malignant melanoma can be challenging due to its rarity and the
overlap of symptoms with other more frequent anorectal diseases. This case study emphasizes the significance of including
malignant melanoma in the differential diagnosis of anorectal malignancies. The occurrence of liver metastases highlights the
disease's aggressive nature and the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach. The treatment options for anorectal
melanoma with liver metastases are limited and generally palliative, with the goal of enhancing quality of life and prolonging
life expectancy.

Authors: BP Abhishek
Published: December 2024

Generative naming task is a commonly used task in screening and diagnostic tests and is a part of neuro-psychological test
batteries. In this task, the participant is expected to list items belonging to a specific lexical category such as animals the task
has been studies in regard to demographic variables such as age, gender, socio-cultural variables. The conventional generative
naming task is modified by adapting the concept of switching. The participant is asked to switch between the lexical categories
or is asked to switch between the languages L1 and L2) holding the lexical category as a constant, the current studied the
performance of young and middle aged adults considering the language switching conditions. A total of 50 participants were
considered for the current study and the participants were divided into two groups based on their age. The participants
were asked to list lexical items belonging to the category ‘animals’ under three switching conditions: free switching, no
switching and conditional switching conditions. The median scores were higher for free switching followed by no switching
condition and conditional switching conditions, the same trend was observed across the two groups. Fried man’s test revealed
significant difference between the conditions only for the group 2 participants showing that the cognitive substrates may
impose challenges to the performance of these participants.

metastases are rarely described. Objective: to report a case of prostate cancer with testicular metastasis in a patient with more
than 15 years of follow-up.
Case Report: Caucasian male patient diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2003 and bone metastasis in 2005. After years of
follow-up and hormonal treatment, evolved with urinary retention. He underwent transvesical prostatectomy and bilateral
orchiectomy. The anatomopathological examination indicated metastatic adenocarcinoma in the right testis.
Conclusion: This case demonstrates that prostate cancer can metastasize to rare sites, such as the testis. The presence of these
reports helps clinical practice and adds to the literature, encouraging further studies on diagnostic approaches and treatment.
