On limited possibility of using Al2O3 and Al–Zn for corrosion protection of GdTbDyHoSc and GdTbDyHoY alloys in a salt mist chamber
Authors: Gel’chinskii B. R. , Il’inykh N. I. , Ignat’eva E. V.
Published: March 2024

Nowadays high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with a hexagonal close packed structure consisting of rare-earth metals (REM) are of particular interest. In this work, we investigated the possibility of using of Al2O3 and Al:Zn (1:1) as a  protective coatings for REM HEAs GdTbDyHoSc and GdTbDyHoY. The REM HEAs samples were synthesized from metals of purity ≥99.9 % by melting in an electric arc furnace under Ar atmosphere (99.99 %). The samples were coated by supersonic plasma spraying. Corrosion resistance was determined in a salt mist chamber for 48 h. It was found that for all studied samples corrosive effect in conditions of salt mist leads to degradation of the base material of the alloy. Samples coated with Al:Zn (1:1) under salt mist conditions showed less resistance than samples coated with Al2O3 due to the chemical interaction between aluminum and sodium chloride solution.
Effect of boric anhydride on viscosity of slags used in electric melting of metallized siderite concentrate
Authors: Vusikhis A. S. , Leont’ev L. I. , Mikheenkov M. A.
Published: March 2024

The Bakal deposit located in the Southern Urals near the city of Bakal, Chelyabinsk region, is one of the largest deposits of carbonate iron ores (siderites). The total deposit of siderites is about 1 billion tons. They are not in demand among metallurgists because of their low iron content and high magnesium content. At the same time, the Urals metallurgical enterprises are suffering from shortage of iron ore raw materials including steelmaking ore raw materials. The high purity of siderites in terms of phosphorus and non-ferrous metals makes it possible to use methods of coke-free metallurgy for their processing. Pyrometallurgical processing of siderites including their reduction roasting in a rotary furnace followed by grinding and magnetic separation allows obtaining a concentrate to be used as a steelmaking raw material having metallization degree above 90 % and a waste rock content under 3 – 7 %. Calculations showed that the costs of electricity used for melting scrap metal and metallized siderite concentrate containing 30 % of waste rock and loaded into the furnace at temperatures above 1000 °C are close. We propose a siderite processing method including reduction of the initial ore in a rotary furnace, and melting of resulting metallized concentrate hot loaded (at temperatures above 1000 °C) into a furnace. The empty rock of metallized siderite concentrate contains a large percentage of magnesium oxide that makes it refractory. To obtain liquid slag, it is proposed to add boric anhydride in the form of colemanite. To assess the B2O3 effect on melting of the metallized siderite oxide phase in the process of electric melting, studies on the viscosity correlation of the magnesian steelmaking slag containing B2O3 with temperature and its composition were carried out. It was found that at the discharge temperature (1600 °C) the resulting magnesia slag with the ratio of MgO/SiO2 in the initial siderite equaling to 0.75 – 1.25 has a low viscosity (less than 3.65 P).
What’s new for the clinician – summaries of recently published papers (February 2024)
Authors: Yengopal V
Published: March 2024

The first thousand days of life refer to the period between conception and 24 months of life and it is a critical period in which foundations for the healthy development of the child are laid, having a huge impact on the health of unborn babies, infants and young children. Pregnancy and the postpartum period are considered a phase where women have an increased vulnerability to mental disorders. Studies have shown that around 12% of pregnant women experience depression in the antenatal period and the prevalence of postpartum depression ranges from 10%- 15%.1 These psychiatric disorders are not only associated with poor maternal health but also with negative effects on children, affecting the cognitive development and behaviour.1 Studies have also shown that there is a strong correlation between the oral health knowledge, practice and behaviour of the mother and the oral health status of the young child. Mothers who have poor oral health often have children who have higher levels of early childhood caries (ECC). Mothers with mental disorders have also been shown to be unable to take care of their own health optimally thereby also placing the health (and oral health) of their children at risk. Due to a lack of longitudinal studies investigating the influence of maternal depressive disorders on the occurrence of child’s dental caries, da Fonseca Cumerlato and colleagues from Brazil (2023)1 reported on a study that sought to investigate the effect of the trajectory of maternal depressive disorders in the first thousand days of the child’s life on the prevalence of early childhood dental caries at 48 months of age in a birth cohort.

О ПРИВИЛЕГИИ ТВОРЧЕСТВА, КОТОРОЙ НЕ СУЩЕСТВУЕТ (И О ВОПРОСАХ, КОТОРЫЕ ИЗ ЭТОГО ВЫТЕКАЮТ)
Authors: КОМАШКО Марина Николаевна
Published: March 2024

Гражданское законодательство России однозначно указывает, что автором результата интеллек- туальной деятельности является человек, творческим тру- дом которого этот результат создан. В международных конвенциях прямого указания нет, но подразумевается то же самое. Другого способа создания произведения законодательные акты не предполагают. Таким образом, за человеком закреплена привилегия творчества. Когда-то такой подход соответствовал естествен- но-научным взглядам. Наука считала способность творить свойственной только человеку, это виделось принципиальным отличием человека от животных. Со- ответственно нормы права строились сообразно этой парадигме. Однако современные естественные науки признают у животных способности к творчеству. В связи с новы- ми данными становится все труднее отрицать близкое сходство между человеком и животными, в том числе в области интеллекта и творчества.

В статье демонстрируются конкретные примеры творческих возможностей животных и созданных по- следними результатов интеллектуальной деятельности. Для большей наглядности автор проводит сравнение отдельных произведений, созданных животными, с про- изведениями, созданными человеком. Также уделено внимание естественно-научным работам, которые по- могают лучше понять происходящие в науке перемены. Автор приходит к выводу, что жизненные ситуации, рассмотренные в статье, невозможно уложить в су- ществующие правовые формы. В связи с этим перед правом интеллектуальной собственности встает вопрос концептуального выбора дальнейшего пути: будет ли оно развиваться в одном русле с естественными наука- ми; будут ли достижения естественных наук полностью проигнорированы правом или же, возможно, выбор будет сделан в пользу сохранения привилегии человека не на творчество, но на правовую охрану результатов творчества.

В более широком смысле открытие у животных способностей к творчеству (и исчезновение, вслед за признаком «интеллект», еще одного признака, который, как считалось ранее, отличает человека от прочего животного мира) привносит новые краски в дискуссию о правовом статусе животных. Факт признания за жи- вотными не только разума, но и способности созидать требует осмысления юридической наукой и, возможно, является еще одним аргументом в пользу целесообраз- ности признания новых субъектов гражданского права и права в целом.

Authors: Corby-Harris Vanessa
Published: March 2024

This protocol is a modified version of the vanillin assay based off Van Handel's 1985 manuscript: "Rapid Determination of Total Lipids in Mosquitoes." This method is tailored for determining total lipids in Honey Bee tissues. Here, dry weight material is reacted with vanillin sulfuric acid to form a colorimetric change proportional to the amount of lipid in the material. It is then compared against a known (lipid) external standard to give the total lipid inµg/µL of material.
About the Use of Gearless Electric Motors in the Construction of an Exoskeleton Walking on an Uneven Surface
Authors: Budanov V. V. , Lavrovsky E. K.
Published: March 2024

The regular walking (up or down) on a ladder (or an inclined plane) of a human operator with an exoskeleton of the lower extremities, carrying an additional load, is considered. It is assumed that the exoskeleton is equipped with high— torque electric motors without gearboxes — in the knee and, perhaps, in other joints. The modes of flat, single-support quasi-comfortable walking are considered, in the implementation of which both electric motors and a human operator with experience working with this mechanism participate. The nominal pattern of movement associated, in particular, with the circumvention of obstacles (steps) with a portable foot and placing it in the support position at the next step is set and supported by a person. The task of the algorithm controlling electric motors is to partially reduce the load that falls on the operator. From the point of view of minimizing human energy consumption, the supporting leg and especially its knee joint are the most important. In the knee joint of the supporting leg, an algorithm for controlling the corresponding electric motor is proposed, based on measuring the vertical reaction force of the support in combination, perhaps, with the angle in the knee and angular velocity. Feedback is constructed, the "successful" values of the coefficients of which can be predicted using a kind of least squares method along the nominal mode. The task of this feedback is actually the distribution of the load that falls to the share of the operator and the system of electric motors. It is shown by using numerical research methods to what benefits in terms of energy consumption in one regular step this can, in principle, lead. This principle of feedback construction extends further to the hip and ankle moments of the supporting leg. It is assumed that the portable leg is controlled everywhere only by the human operator’s own efforts, the absence of gearboxes allows this to be done without much friction loss, which in turn affects the smallness of energy costs and for the operator.

Published: March 2024

The article considers the problem of determining the orientation of mobile transport robots, which are now actively used in almost all areas of industry. They make it possible to intensify production, free personnel from performing routine operations, and exclude the influence of the human factor from work. Based on the analysis of various variants of active orientation methods involving the use of binocular video systems installed on the vehicles themselves, it is proposed to use a passive orientation detection system. It includes a single stationary monocular video system, the replacement of onboard video systems on mobile robots with simple radiation sensors, as well as the use of anchor points in the area of their movement. The order of choice of anchor points in solving the problem of orientation of a mobile transport robot using a monocular video system, in particular for a rectangular interior space, is considered. Calculation formulas for determining the coordinates of the sensor from the pixel coordinates of its image obtained from a monocular video camera are determined. The general sequence of actions for determining the orientation of a mobile robotic platform is also considered. Unlike active systems, this method makes it possible to significantly simplify the hardware, significantly facilitate the analysis of the current position of the mobile robot and thereby reduce the computational complexity of calculations due to the fact that there is no need to use a complex mathematical apparatus. It is being replaced by simpler two-dimensional geometric calculations. This approach, due to the unified management, makes it possible to effectively coordinate the actions of a group of mobile transport robots when they are used together, greatly simplifies the solution of a number of tasks for optimizing the intra-shop movement of mobile vehicles.

It is known that oil and gas are the main priority of the production and processing industry in Azerbaijan. Considering that the development and operation of oil fields, processing of oil and oil products are the main pollutant of the environment, the Absheron Peninsula is considered the most environmentally tense region of Azerbaijan. The purpose of our research is to study the radioecological situation and assess the level of radioactive contamination of the soil of the Absheron Peninsula. As a rule, radium concentration occurs at the surface of the reservoir and during the initial treatment of the water mixture. For example, radium deposition is generally observed on land where oil equipment is located and on areas where the reservoir water is close to the surface or is exposed. The first studies of radioactivity on the territory of the Absheron Peninsula were carried out in 1930-32. The purpose of these studies was to search for radium in soils, groundwater. At that time, high levels of radium were found in the waters of some oil fields. There was little uranium in the waters and oils of these deposits. In our work the distribution of radioactivity on the territory of the Absheron Peninsula was studied and the most dangerous areas for human activity were identified. A radioactivity map of the study area was created to study the radioactive background and identify dangerous areas. As a result of our research, it was found out that most of the polluted part of the Absheron Peninsula is an industrial oil production zone. Based on our materials, a radioactivity map for the study area was created. In the article, not only the radiation background of the Absheron peninsula, thus determining the areas with the average value of the radiation background at 8.5 µR/h but also the areas where it equaled 400-600 µR/h that is, the dangerous levels for living and working are shown. We have highlighted anomalies where radioactivity reaches 400-600 µR/h.
The Concept of Common Property at the Present Stage
Authors: Laptev V. A.
Published: March 2024

Common property as a legal category of Russian law plays an important role in property relations with the participation of many persons — owners (civil law community). The paper examines the provisions of the Russian civil legislation concerning common property, in particular the owners of immovable property, adopted in order to implement the Concept of Development of Civil Legislation in 2009. In addition, dwells on the issues of common property of members of an investment partnership, peasant (farmer) unions and other corporate associations. The paper analyzes the concept of «common property» at the present stage and defines its characteristic features. Special attention is paid to the issue of the mixed nature of ownership of common property. The author explains the rights of owners in relation to common property, including property, managerial and information rights. The author substantiates a truncated possibility of implementing the classical triad of the rights of the owner (possession, use and disposal) in relation to the property in question. The paper examines the procedure for exercising the powers of the owner of common property, disposing of objects from the common property (including their transfer and alienation to third parties), as well as the consequences of violating the rights and legitimate interests of persons arising from transactions with common property. In conclusion, the author’s concept of common property is defined by referring it to the civil law community — the collective owner. The paper proposes approaches to the legal assessment of the content of the owner’s competence, possible areas of application of the category under consideration and the functional suitability of common property.

Which Global Moment Tensor Catalog Provides the Most Precise Non-Double-Couple Components?
Authors: Rösler Boris , Spencer Bruce D. , Stein Seth
Published: March 2024

The availability of digital seismic waveform data enabled compilation of seismic moment tensor catalogs that provide information about earthquake source processes beyond what could be derived from earlier methods that assume double-couple sources representing slip on planar faults. This additional versatility involves additional complexity. Moment tensors are determined by inversions minimizing the misfit between observed and synthetic waveforms, and depend on the specifics of the data inverted, the inversion algorithm, and the Earth structure assumed. Hence, substantial uncertainties arise in moment tensors and quantities derived from them, which can be assessed by comparing moment tensors from multiple global and regional catalogs using different data and inversion procedures. While the double-couple (DC) components of moment tensors are generally determined with greater certainty, non-double-couple (NDC) components for the same earthquake sometimes differ significantly between catalogs. This observation raises questions about the reliability of their determination and hence their geological significance. Using the correlation between NDC components in different catalogs, we quantify the reliability of NDC components in moment tensor catalogs through the determination of the effects of unmodeled and inaccurately modeled effects contained in them. We determine that the NDC components in the Global Centroid Moment Tensor catalog are, on average, more precise than in other catalogs, and thus studies on NDC components should be based on this catalog. Furthermore, their uncertainties are largely unrelated to uncertainties in the DC components. Therefore, the reliability of fault angles derived from a moment tensor is largely independent from the reliability of its NDC components.
Review and perspectives of the strategic partnership China European Union
Authors: Higueras Georgina
Published: March 2024

The author proposes a commitment to dialogue and good relationships. In summary, she says that the world needs a Europe of peace, dialogue and negotiation, so as not to be the scene of hostilities and in this way, to become an actor to fully participate in the birth of the more just and inclusive multipolar world, which China seeks. Therefore, the author suggests that it is a time for cooperation and not for hegemonic powers, for collaboration and not for conflicts. The comprehensive strategic partnership has been extremely economically beneficial for both China and the European Union. As great defenders of peace and security through dialogue and diplomacy, China and the EU have many possibilities for cooperation: China needs Europe, as Europe needs China. Beijing and Brussels defend their commitment to multilateralism, written in the DNA of the Union, and adopted by China as a tool to continue advancing its development, but their different visions on the role and direction that international institutions should take limit a much-needed cooperation in global governance. They have a complicated journey to trust, cooperation, mutual benefit and equity, but they are moved by different values and rhythms. Therefore, the author suggests that the future of bilateral relations and their comprehensive strategic partnership depends on the two parties learning to dialogue from new realities and committing to building trust and respecting each other.

Inflammatory neuropathies: How far we’ve come
Authors: letts nicole , Bertorini Tulio
Published: March 2024

Inflammatory neuropathies constitute a collection of prevalent and manageable pathologies resulting from a humoral or cellular immune response directed towards distinct components of the peripheral nervous system. These pathologies can manifest acutely, as exemplified by Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and its subtypes, or chronically, as seen in the case of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), multifocal motor neuropathy, or nodal-paranodal disorders. Diagnosis primarily relies upon clinical manifestations and electromyographic studies, aimed at facilitating timely initiation of treatment.

Technological advances have an impact on health services, one of which is the use of hospital management information systems in the research unit of the Dr Sardjito hospital. However, the implementation of the system encountered obstacles, including the absence of notification of the maximum loan limit and the absence of case classification based on disease in the borrowed medical record file. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the hospital management information system in the research unit. This research was a qualitative research with respondents 3 officers in the research unit. Data collection through in-depth interviews and observation. Data were analyzed using content analysis method. The results showed that the system does not have a notification if the number of files borrowed exceeds the maximum limit, the system produces loan data and medical record return data accurately, but the system can be accessed simultaneously on different computers. This study suggests to hospitals to add a notification feature if the number of files borrowed exceeds the maximum limit and add a medical record borrowing feature based on disease classification.
Has Job Satisfaction been Affected by Islamic Leadership, Remuneration, or Organizational Citizenship Behavior?
Authors: Aini Qurratul , Jaber Mustafa Musa
Published: March 2024

Numerous hospital managers are unsatisfied with their positions, limiting their capacity to enhance the quality of hospital services. Even though personnel demand better remuneration to enhance their performance, this may harm hospital impressions. By fostering a culture of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and enhancing employee job satisfaction, Islamic leadership styles may assist in achieving a balance between employee compensation expectations and organizational resources. This study aims to determine the impact of Islamic leadership and compensation on organizational citizenship behavior and job satisfaction at a private hospital. Method: The research employed a quantitative cross-sectional methodology, collecting primary data with Google Forms and analyzing it with Smart PLS. Respondents who are permanent staff at private hospitals in Klaten were handed questionnaires. This study intended a total sample size of 98 employees, and only 90 responses meeting the inclusion criteria were gathered. This survey was conducted in July 2021, with questionnaires customized to the conditions of the research site based on previous research. Result: As a result of the inclusion criteria and data-gathering procedures, ninety replies were gathered. OCB is influenced by remuneration and Islamic leadership because Islamic leadership can operate as a counterweight to workers' desire for high remuneration due to the emergence of OCB behavior in the hospital setting. Generally, well-compensated employees are more content with their jobs. Consequently, OCB behavior has a minor impact on job satisfaction. Conclusion: The relationship between Islamic leadership and remuneration and organizational citizenship behavior and job satisfaction is significant.

The Potential for Ride-hailing Integration with Mass Transit Systems: A choice Experiment in Latin America
Authors: Scholl Lynn , Lleras German , Oviedo Daniel , Castro Jose , Sabogal-Cardona Orlando
Published: March 2024

As transportation alternatives facilitated by TNCs (Transportation Network Companies) have gained popularity around the world, research has increasingly focused on understanding their impacts on urban mobility, with several studies examining whether they are competing with public transit trips, increasing vehicle kilometers, or contributing to congestion. Recent policy discussions have turned to whether these services could also have positive benefits, such as complementing mass transit services as a first- and last-mile solution. Most research to date has focused on industrialized countries, with little work focusing on Global South cities. Seeking to fill significant evidence gaps on the impacts of ride-hailing on travel behavior, this paper builds on a stated preference survey in three large metropolitan areas in Latin America (Bogota, Medellin, and Mexico City) to evaluate the potential of introducing an integrated scheme of ride-hailing and mass transit. The scenario of the integrated scheme places ride-hailing as a filler of the first- and last-mile gap left by mass transit. We use discrete choice models and simulations to assess the potential for modal shifts under different pricing scenarios. Results suggest limited feasibility (or modal shifts) of an integrated system of ride-hailing with mass transit under the scenarios considered. Even with significant discounts on the integrated fare, for two of the three cases, the additional ridership would remain comparatively low. Nevertheless, this opens the door for considering other app-based mobility options operating under a sharing perspective and that can reduce operative costs in an integrated scheme.

Published: March 2024

This case study underscores the significance of digitalization in healthcare, exemplified by Korea's successful integration of electronic health record (EHR) systems, which has markedly enhanced clinical services quality and efficiency. Focusing on the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH), a leading national multispecialty academic medical center in Korea, the case study details the hospital's journey towards digitalization through the implementation of its interoperable EHR system, BESTCare. Through focus group interviews with field-deployed staff, the study reveals the critical factors for successful digital transformation in hospital management, including leadership investment decisions and the engagement of end-users from the outset. The gradual yet significant benefits of digital transformation, such as cost efficiency and clinical quality improvements, are highlighted, along with the adaptability of digital tools in crisis situations like the COVID-19 pandemic. The study concludes with the documented impacts of BESTCare and other digital tools on care quality and efficiency, suggesting that similar digital transformation efforts in Latin America and the Caribbean could lead to significant health outcomes improvements while maintaining current healthcare spending levels.

Authors: Hachem Daniel Wunder , Juruena Cynthia Gruendling , Fritsche Bruna
Published: March 2024

A pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar se o Poder Judiciário brasileiro aplica as convenções internacionais de direitos humanos das mulheres em suas decisões e se exerce controle de convencionalidade de leis nacionais nessa matéria. Adota metodologia de pesquisa empírica jurisprudencial, de abordagem quantitativa, analisando todos os acórdãos proferidos num lapso temporal de 13 anos em levantamento realizado na jurisprudência de 33 tribunais brasileiros. De cerca de 5 mil acórdãos que citam tratados de direitos humanos na ementa, somente 101 (2%) versam sobre direitos das mulheres. Conclui que entre as decisões sobre o tema: 41,5% foram proferidas pelo TJMS; 95% dos casos envolvem matéria penal ou processual penal (sendo a vastíssima maioria casos de violência doméstica); casos em que a convenção é invocada pela parte representam quase o dobro das situações em que é invocada pelo(a) magistrado(a) de ofício; em 93% dos casos não há exame de convencionalidade de lei nacional, mas somente discussão sobre a aplicação ou não da convenção ao caso; em 6% dos casos houve declaração de inconvencionalidade de lei nacional; em 53,5% dos casos o tribunal acatou o argumento de violação da convenção, tendo negado o argumento em 46,5% das decisões.

Acute and chronic exposure of heavy metals exerts detrimental effect at the cellular level and is a rising global concern. The pollutants once introduced in the water bodies, subsequently enters the food chain, and poses risks not only to the aquatic organisms, but to the human consumers as well. Therefore, understanding the toxicological level of these metals is vital for assessing the severity of potential risks. The study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of the acute toxicity of mercury and cadmium on Channa punctatus through a 96-hour bioassay. It was carried out in a semi-static laboratory condition following the standard guidelines. The behavioural, and mortality response was recorded at the 24, 48, 72, and 96 h of exposure duration for both toxicants. The results demonstrated distinct differences in toxicity levels between mercury and cadmium. The 96h-LC50 value for cadmium was measured at 6.19 mg/l, while for mercury, it was significantly lower at 0.44 mg/l. It was revealed that even the trace concentration of metals can induce toxicity, if given for a prolonged period of time. Furthermore, the study observed heightened toxicity of mercury, exerting adverse effects at lower concentrations compared to cadmium within the same exposure duration.

Published: March 2024

Implicature, a fundamental aspect of pragmatics, plays a significant role in effective communication. Investigating the implicature competence in the realm of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, the present paper aims at exploring the relationship between implicature competence and English academic success of EFL students across gender. The study included 60 EFL learners aged between 13 and 22, comprising both male and female students enrolled in Jahad Daneshgahi Department of Foreign Languages in West Azerbaijan, Urmia. To investigate the relationship, a quantitative correlation design was employed, utilizing MCDCT (Multiple-Choice Discourse Completion Test) to measure implicature competence of the students. The results revealed a positive correlation between implicature competence and academic success of EFL students. However, the correlation was more significant in male students than their female counterparts. These findings emphasize the importance of explicit teaching of pragmatics along with other linguistics skills in EFL curricula.

Злоупотребление процессуальными правами в арбитражном процессе
Authors: Лоскутова К.В. , Гряда Э.А.
Published: March 2024

В данной статье предпринята попытка установить, какие случаи, связанные с рассмотрением дел арбитражным судом, следует считать злоупотреблением процессуальными правами. Наиболее часто случаи злоупотребления процессуальными правами в арбитражном процессе возникают при представлении доказательств. Необходимо, чтобы злоупотребление сторонами своими процессуальными правами получило надлежащую оценку законодателя. На сегодняшний день действующее законодательство не предусматривает эффективных мер, позволяющих выявлять и пресекать нарушения. Помимо этого, нормы действующего законодательства не предусматривают санкции за указанные деяния. Такое положение следует рассматривать как законодательный пробел. Выявление и пресечение злоупотребления процессуальными правами не нашло соответствующей законодательной регламентации ни в положениях арбитражного процессуального, ни в нормах гражданского процессуального законодательства. Соответственно, не сформировалась судебная практика. В статье рассмотрены основные, немногочисленные примеры судебной практики, а также варианты решения возникающих проблем.
