Experiential3D: Four Illusions Challenge Our 3D Visual Experience
Authors: Linton Paul
Published: December 2024

Four illusions suggest that many 3D visual processes are cognitive rather than perceptual: 1. LINTON STEREO ILLUSION: A back circle (at 50cm) and a front circle (at 40cm) appear to move rigidly together in depth (whilst their angular size is fixed) when their separation is kept constant in retinal disparity (moving to 40cm and 33cm) rather than physically constant (40cm and 30cm). This suggests that perceived stereo depth reflects retinal disparities, and depth constancy is cognitive rather than perceptual. 2. LINTON SCALE ILLUSION: Increasing interpupillary distance using a telestereoscope makes scenes seem miniature. We develop a VR telestereoscope that decouples increases of vergence and vertical disparities from increases in horizontal disparities. When horizontal disparities are increased, but vergence and vertical disparity are normal, the scene looks miniature. When vergence and vertical disparity are increased, but horizontal disparities are normal, the scene looks normal. This suggests that visual scale relies on a cognitive association between accentuated stereo shape and closer distances. 3. LINTON UN-HOLLOW FACE and LINTON MORPHING FACE ILLUSIONS: Using VR, we argue perceived depth is not inverted in the Hollow-Face illusion: First, objects placed in the hollow of the Hollow-Face illusion can be seen veridically in depth against the Hollow-Face illusion. Second, if we put points on the tip and base of the nose, and gradually switch the position of the two eyes (morphing from hollow to protruding), the change in relative depth between these points is seen veridically. This suggests that depth cue integration is cognitive rather than perceptual. 4. LINTON SIZE CONSTANCY and LINTON SHAPE CONSTANCY ILLUSIONS: Placing a solid rectangular frame around instances of pictorial size constancy, stereo size constancy, and stereo shape constancy all demonstrate that these constancies can be experienced without affecting perceived angular size, suggesting that these constancies are cognitive rather than perceptual.
Between the Biological and Social clock: Exploring the Association between Social Jetlag and Wellbeing
Authors: Landvreugd Anne , Nivard Michel Guillaume , Bartels Meike
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The introduction of artificial lighting and the 24-hour society provoked a form of circadian misalignment called social jetlag: the misalignment between the biological clock and the social clock. The literature has mainly focused on the association between social jetlag and negative mental health in students, while knowledge on the association with wellbeing in adults is limited.Methods: The total sample included 20.143 Dutch participants from the Netherlands Twin Register (NTR). The Munich Chronotype Questionnaire was used to compute sleep-corrected social jetlag. Subjective happiness, Satisfaction with life, and Quality of life were used to create a wellbeing factor score. Linear regression models were applied to assess the association between social jetlag and wellbeing, and the interaction effects of age and day of the week. Additionally, a within-family analysis was performed to correct for the effect of the family environment. Results: We found a weak but significant negative correlation between social jetlag and the wellbeing scales (r = -0.05). The effect of social jetlag on the wellbeing factor score was marginal (β = -0.05, R2 = 0.22%, p < 0.001, N = 7456) and did not depend on age or day of the week. The within-family design showed that the association was not confounded by effects shared within family such as rearing effects and heritable confounders. Discussion: The negative association between social jetlag and wellbeing is marginal, and does not depend on age or day of the week. The association does not seem to be confounded by the effects shared by family members. Our results indicate that social jetlag should not be a primary concern for wellbeing. Future studies should focus on using objective measures for social jetlag and use longitudinal data to disentangle short term and long term results.
Affect and Words: An Instrument for the Quantitative Analysis of Emotional Vocabulary in Open-ended Responses.
Authors: Manchini Nigel , Jiménez Óliver , Díaz Natalia Ramos , Trias Daniel
Published: December 2024

In a context where emotions play a central role in discussions on psychology and education, the availability of various techniques and resources to assess emotional experience becomes essential. Quantitative language analysis provides a window to emotional experiences, rarely used in Spanish-speaking contexts. This study develops and cross-culturally validates an annotated dictionary of explicit emotional vocabulary, a tool for analyzing affective variables from texts and open-ended responses. A systematic protocol and expert judgment were used to select and annotate 1,041 lexical families (3,051 lemmas and 18,934 words), and pre-recorded hypotheses about the validity of the instrument were tested. Participants, adolescents from Uruguay (n = 1,208, 59% female, age M = 14.4) and Spain (n = 596, 41% female, age M = 15.7), completed Subjective Well-Being (SWB) scales and wrote about their emotional experiences in an open-ended response. The dictionary showed convergence with other instruments and acceptable inter-rater reliability. When applied to open-ended responses, it captured a substantial proportion of the words written by participants and showed significant correlations with SWB in both the Uruguayan and Spanish samples. These results suggest that quantitative analysis of open-ended responses allows the exploration of well-being, and that this freely available instrument is a valid resource for doing so, serving as a complement to quantitative and qualitative approaches for research or intervention purposes.
Autocorrelation and Heteroscedasticity in Regression Analysis
Authors: Kumar Nand Kishor
Published: December 2024

In the world of econometrics and time series analysis, autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity are two statistical issues that analysts often encounter when modeling data. Both phenomena can seriously undermine the reliability of regression results if left untreated, leading to biased conclusions and faulty predictions. Autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity are important considerations in any regression analysis, especially when explaining with time series analysis. Both phenomena undermine the accuracy of the model if left unaddressed. By applying the appropriate tests and corrective measures, such as Generalized Least Squares or robust standard errors, analysts can ensure that their models remain reliable, leading to more valid inferences and better decision-making. In practice, detecting and correcting for it should be a standard part of the model validation process to avoid incorrect conclusions and improve the robustness of the results.
Moksha for Modiaain: A Study of B. P. Koirala’s Modiaain
Authors: Nitya Raj Bhattarai
Published: December 2024

Bisheswor Prasad Koirala’s Modiaain is a novella written on the war of Mahabharat, the 18 days fratricidal war between Kaurabh and Pandava, in Hindu mythology. The two supreme Hindu religious volumes, Mahabharat and SrimadBhagawat Gita, glorify the war and claim that it was fought for justice and righteousness led by the god, lord Krishna, himself. However, Modiaain, the title character whose husband fought the war from the Kaurabh’s side, has her own interpretation of the war as she mentions it to the narrator. She finds the role of Lord Krishna controversial, in the war, as he incites Arjuna for the war to save humanity from irreligiosity. The paper studies the difference between the presentation of these holy text by the gods (Ved Vyas and Lord Krishna) and a common woman (Naari). Several incidents in the novel, as reported by Naari, exposes the effect of the war not only to the warriors but also to their families. Many of them died waiting and crying on the loss of their dear ones- and are still living as degenerated spirit hovering here and there around the battlefield. In its thorough analysis of the events, in the perspective of the renarrative of Karma and Moksha, the research locates the disparity and questions the mere promise and purpose of lord Krishna behind the war. Clearly, the article focuses on to draw out a new perspective to read and interpret the ideas of these holy texts- not to criticize them in a biased way.
e-banking Services and Customer Satisfaction with reference to Nepalese Banking Sector
Authors: Makshindra Thapa
Published: December 2024

This study is intended to investigate the impact of e-banking services on customer satisfaction, as this area of research is still in the foundation phase in Nepal. The conceptual framework included five e-banking service dimensions: ease of use, efficiency, reliability, responsiveness, and security as predictors and customer satisfaction as dependent variables. The descriptive and casual-comparative research was conducted with a sample of 232 bank customers actively using e-banking services. A questionnaire survey was an instrument to collect data, and along with descriptive and correlation analysis, the regression analysis was conducted with the use of SPSS and JASP. The empirical result shows a positive and significant impact of e-banking service dimensions on customer satisfaction. The findings show that ease of use, security, efficiency, and reliability have a relatively greater impact on customer satisfaction. However, responsiveness has a weak impact on customer satisfaction. E-banking is an inevitable part of the modern banking system that enhances customer satisfaction and core competencies in the area and provides competitiveness. The banking institutions can focus on maximizing firm value through customer satisfaction, retention, and loyalty through the best e-banking services.
The Effect of Profitability, Capital Structure, Firm Size and Asset Growth on Firm Value
Authors: Narendra Sejuwal
Published: December 2024

A company's primary objective after going public is to maximize wealth for its owners or shareholders by raising its market value. The share market price represents the wealth of the company and its shareholders. It is a reflection of the financing, asset management, and investment decisions made by the shareholders in collaboration with the management team to optimize the company's growth rate and profit margin and to preserve the company's position. The profitability, capital structure, firm size, and asset growth are the major variables that determine its worth. This study aims to collect empirical data on the effect of profitability, capital structure, firm size, and asset growth on firm value in listed microfinance companies in Nepal from FY 2075/76 to FY 2079/80. This study uses a judgmental sampling method with 15 sample microfinance companies listed in the NEPSE with 75 observations. The SPSS was used to calculate the study's data and process it. The results of this study depicted that profitability and firm size had a statistically insignificant effect on firm value whereas capital structure (DER) had significant positive and asset growth (AG) had significant negative effect on firm value of selected microfinance companies in Nepal.

Sasha, Hello! [Sasha, privet!] On philosophy of death in Dmitry Danilov’s novel
Authors: Zhuchkova A. V.
Published: December 2024

An exercise in close reading, the article explores D. Danilov’s novel Sasha, Hello! [Sasha, privet!] through critical reviews and perceptions of the novel and Danilov’s works in general. The critic considers the book in its axiological and ontological aspects as a reflection on life and death. While he found death abhorrent in his earlier works, Danilov reconsiders in 2022 and begins to perceive it as life’s successor — a ‘journey.’ His novel Sasha, Hello! serves as a philosophical bridge that spans the two concepts. The theme of death is instrumental in creating the book’s imagery and plot structure. In parallel to the philosophical quizzing about life and death, the novel portrays the modern society of ‘dead souls.’ The characters in the novel — professors, writers, and religious workers — appear prejudiced and petty-minded: people who have lost any concept of the true scale of human character. Critics have described Danilov’s novel as a humanistic dystopia. It is also possible to interpret it as a dystopia of liberalism, which robbed ‘progressive’ humanity of the notion that life and death are two legs of the same journey.
‘The world inside out’ in the French mediaeval romance
Authors: Dolgorukova N. M. , Abbasova A. A.
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the motif of parody (in Bakhtin’s terms, ‘the world inside out’), which offers the key to an accurate historical-genetic interpretation of many characteristics specific to the novel as a genre. In the fourth chapter of his Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics [Problemy poetiki Dostoevskogo], Bakhtin describes carnivalesque life as one that is thrown off its usual track and somewhat resembles ‘life inside out,’ ‘the world in reverse,’ or ‘monde à l’envers.’ The same chapter contains Bakhtin’s claim that the origins of the motif go as far back as the Hellenistic and Roman traditions, and the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The article traces the genesis of the motif and its role in the 12th- and 13th-c. French romances, suggesting that, like Dostoevsky’s works, they could provide Bakhtin with examples of characteristics typical of Menippean satire. Supplementing the article are Bakhtin’s hitherto unpublished working notes on Menippean satire which were prepared for publication by N. Dolgorukova and S. Sandler.

Authors: Klimenko Viktor Aleksandrovich
Published: December 2024

One of the key areas of the creative economy, which the government has been pinning serious hopes on in recent years, is the field of design. Design should not only contribute to the development of the creative potential of the population. With its help, with effective management, significant development of the country's economy as a whole is planned, including an increase in the added value of goods and services, GDP growth, and the development of the labor market. However, the field of design needs not only financial and organizational support from the state and investors. Its development is impossible without the involvement of professionally trained specialists in this process. The article provides a rationale for the importance of design education for the training of professionals in the creative sector of the economy.

ELDERLY IMMIGRANTS AS AN OBJECT OF SOCIAL WORK UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MARITAL STATE
Authors: Dyomkin Oleksandr , Koliada Tetiana
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the theoretical aspects of the scientific study of the definition of «internally displaced elderly» as an object of social work under martial law. A scientific analysis of the essence of the concepts «internally displaced persons», «elderly persons», «martial law» presented in international and domestic legal documents was carried out. It has been established that mass internal displacement of persons in Ukraine is a natural consequence of military aggression. The need for research into internal migration processes has been identified. The researchers’ interest in studying the problem of internally displaced persons as an actual reality for Ukrainian society was noted. The main approaches to the interpretation of the concept were analyzed, it was found that the majority of domestic researchers tend to consider it as a form of forced internal migration (necessary (forced) movement within the state, change of place of permanent residence, caused by objective circumstances: the need to avoid the consequences of an armed conflict; constant manifestations of violence; natural or man-made disasters; violations of international humanitarian law or other circumstances that can radically change the social order). The study of the content and essence of the concept of «internally displaced persons» made it possible to establish that the majority of domestic researchers are inclined to consider it as a form of forced internal migration (necessary (forced) movement within the state, change of permanent residence caused by objective circumstances: the need to avoid the consequences of armed conflict conflict; violations of human rights; occupation of the territory by a foreign state or other circumstances that may radically change the social order.Given the need to provide assistance to persons who are forced to spontaneously change their place of residence for objective reasons, we consider it appropriate to consider this concept as a specific target group for the implementation of social policy, which is characterized by heterogeneous features, determined by special needs, personal characteristics and influences of the external environment.
FEATURES OF SOCIAL WORK WITH YOUNG FAMILIES IN THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Authors: Yedgarov Artur , Koliada Tetiana
Published: December 2024

The article examines the family as a constantly evolving and changing social phenomenon. The relevance of the study of the modern family is substantiated in view of the transformation of its forms, structure, functioning conditions under the influence of modern social transformations. The need for analysis and clarification of terms related to the research field of the family is outlined. The practical necessity of clearly defining the concepts of «family», «young family» as an object of social work for the implementation of measures of social support and assistance from society and the state and increasing their effectiveness is indicated. The author refers to the theoretical and methodological foundations of family, young family research. An analysis of scientific sources and results of research in sociology, theory of social work, devoted to the problem of the family, was carried out. The multifacetedness of scientific interpretations of the concept of «family» has been proven. It is proposed to use an interdisciplinary approach and methodological pluralism in its description. The lack of unity in the views of scientists on the definition of «young family» has been demonstrated. The concept was interpreted and its author’s definition was proposed. When determining the definition of «young family», both the general picture of its functioning and modern trends in family development were taken into account, and an integrative approach was used. The analysis of the interpretations of the family that we considered allowed us to interpret this concept as a living, educational and educational environment, a social institution, the first group, a unique type of emotional, biological, social ties, and an economic unit. We define a young family as a social group, in which the age of the husband and wife does not exceed 35 years (or another age limit fixed by the relevant legal norms within the social structure under analysis), which is in the process of its formation, intensity of development, instability relations between its members, their assimilation of social roles, as well as socialization in society as an independent social subject and the performance of the functions of a social institution, which is formed by determining the legal form of marriage or cohabitation based on mutual trust.

The article considers the importance of social partnership in modern social work, in particular, cooperation between local self-government bodies, local enterprises and citizens. Based on the theoretical foundations of social responsibility and social dialogue, the article examines how this interaction contributes to the implementation of strategies for sustainable development and self-sufficiency of territorial communities. She emphasizes the importance of active participation of citizens in the processes of local self-government, in particular through the support of educational programs and development centers that contribute to their initiative and educational training. The article also analyzes existing models of cooperation between the public sector and civil society organizations as key elements in strengthening democracy and reducing social exclusion.The study highlights various models of social partnership between public authorities and civil society organizations, which include the oppositional position, the complementary model and the reforming model. The key problems of the management of socio-legal relations in Ukraine are identified, such as the lack of patronage, insufficient legal and economic conditions for the activities of public organizations, as well as the low level of involvement of citizens in social activity. The analysis emphasizes the importance of the role of public organizations in identifying social problems and reducing social tension through the involvement of more people in public activities.The research focuses on revealing the impact of the war on public organizations in Ukraine and their perception in society. After the Revolution of Dignity, cooperation between NGOs and the government strengthened significantly, which led to an increase in the influence of civil society on political processes. The initiatives of such organizations as RISE Ukraine, RRR4U and the Reanimation Package of Reforms, which are aimed at restoring the country and increasing its resilience through the support of public initiatives and involvement in the management of reforms, are being studied.
SOCIAL INITIATIVE OF THE FUTURE SOCIAL WORKER: THEORETICAL ASPECT
Authors: Maidanyuk Maryna
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to one of the urgent problems of the formation of social initiative among social workers. The article reveals the meaning of the concepts «initiative», «social initiative of the future social worker». We consider the social initiative of the future social worker as an integrative characteristic of the personality of the future specialist in the social sphere, which is manifested in social activity, subjectivity, the ability to make independent choices, socially useful decisions, implement them and take responsibility for the future development of the state. It is noted that in the structure of social initiative it is possible to single out socio-professional, value, operational and activity components. The valuable component involves orientation towards the disclosure and development of the individuality of the future specialist in the activity, its content-resultative and procedural-dynamic characteristics. It was found that the detection of social initiative is determined by the orientation of the system of motives and values of a social work specialist and occurs in direct communication, in the ability to apply various methods of communication, the ability to understand the recipient of social services, predict the results of one’s activity, and the ability to forecast it. It is noted that at the stage of professional training, one of the effective means of developing the social initiative of future specialists is the support of their social initiatives related to the possibility of early professional orientation and independent professional activity, self-education. The content of the employee’s social initiative consists in determining his essential strengths, interests, values, which are developed and realized in the conditions of professional activity.

POPULISMO LGBTIFÓBICO
Authors: Dil Gabriel , Rocha Leonel Severo , Oliveira Bianca Neves de
Published: December 2024

O populismo é um conceito polissêmico, e a sua cultura política caracteriza-se por ser caracteristicamente pioneira em reconhecer e usar as emoções na política, ultrapassando as técnicas tradicionais de sedução. A perspectiva populista, é influenciada pela filosofia de Carl Schmitt, e a vontade geral coloca a supremacia da vitória do povo sobre seus inimigos. Esta abordagem nega o pluralismo e a deliberação, e centra-se na adesão a uma oferta política estabelecida e na homogeneidade e unanimidade do povo. Uma das últimas tendências no populismo contemporâneo é uma expansão do discurso e das políticas LGBTIfóbicas. Depois de décadas liderando a luta para expandir os direitos LGBTI+, a Europa e as Américas se tornaram o cenário de uma reação política contra essas conquistas. Esse contramovimento reacionário é liderado por populistas de extrema-direita que, por conveniência, formaram alianças com fundamentalistas religiosos. Dessa forma, o populismo LGBTIfóbico tem como tendência a adoção de um discurso que utiliza das ansiedades sexuais e do pânico moral das massas como estratégia eleitoreira e de governança, considerando que há a instrumentalização desses espantalhos morais, aproveitando-se do preconceito secular para escolher a população LGBTI+ como bode expiatório. A performance do discurso LGBTIfóbico apresenta o populista de extrema-direita como guardião da família cis-heteronormativa, com ideias reacionárias que mobilizam o eleitorado pelo medo de que os avanços emancipatórios por dignidade da população LGBTI+ maculariam a integridade das famílias até então compreendidas como “tradicionais”.

From Stress to Success: Exploring the Mediating Role of Relaxation Coping on Job Performance
Authors: Khan Shabnam Razzaq , Khan Zulfiqar , Shah Azmat Ali
Published: December 2024

Everyone from academics to factory workers is curious about stress. The purpose of the research was to examine the relationship between sleep and occupational stress and performance on the job. A total of 170 LPEs, 97 of whom were male and 73 of who were female were recruited for the study from KP's public universities. To analyze the data, we employed descriptive and inferential statistics. Conversely, LPEs' performance suffers when they're under pressure on the job, and the mediating model was crucial in explaining the connection between job demands and LPEs' performance in degree-granting institutions. In order to alleviate tension and make work easier, officials should follow the advice of a researcher. According to the researcher, further research is needed to clarify the phenomenon of job stressors, coping mechanisms, and the job performance of LPEs at different levels of education.
Images of Waterfowls in Metal Plastic Arts from Balezinsky Burial Ground, 6th–7th Centuries
Authors: Chernykh Elizaveta M.
Published: December 2024

The article publishes new finds of metal jewelry depicting waterfowls (ducks). They were found in the burials of an early site of the Polomsky archaeological culture in the Cheptsa River basin. The jewelry is made in different stylistic traditions and attributes to a narrow chronological period (6th–7th century). Considering the peculiarities of the new burial ground funeral rite, items sets and equivalents, the author examines if this category of artifacts can help solve issues of the northern Udmurtia population origins in the early medieval period. The ornithomorphic hollow pendants of the Balezinsky burial ground belong to two stylistic traditions. One of them is western (Volga-Vyatka), the other one is eastern (Upper Kama). The closest equivalents to the Balezinsky jewelry are found in the Vyatka region and the Middle Volga area. They bear the syncretic image of a duck-horse. Another image is a duck-elk. It defines the eastern (late Kharino) impulse. The burial sets with zoomorphic hollow pendants include items typical for women’s embellishments dated the 6th–7th centuries. They were found both in the cemeteries of Western Cis-Ural (Verkh-Saya, Birsk, Petropavlovo) and in necropolises of the Kontsovsky – Tat-Boyarsky – Shor-Unzhinsky – Komintern II circle. Both groups of ornithomorphs in the Cheptsa River basin are associated with the migrations of various ethnocultural groups – carriers of different worldview systems. Their advance into the upper reaches of the Cheptsa River first laid from the south, from the Volga and Lower Kama, along the Vyatka; then it ran through the taiga regions of the Upper Kama region.
Genetic Landscape of Northern Europe from Scandinavia to the Volga-Oka Interfluve in the Second Half of the 1st – Early 2nd Millennium AD

The articles gives an analytical review of the research findings dedicated to the genetic history of the North and North-East Europe in the last quarter of the 1st – early 2nd millennium AD. By the era of vikings population of Scandinavia could be genetically divided into three local subclusters, such as a)Danish-like, b)Swedish-like and c)Norwegian-like. This clusters partially match the modern boundaries of these countries. During the viking era the gene pools of the local populations started to merge. The most rapid spreading was found in the Danish-like component. Migration processes influenced people in the coastal and main territories. During the viking era West Scandinavia was exposed to migrants from the British Islands. Sweden and Gotland were exposed to the eastern population of Ruthenia and East Baltic region. Danemark and South Sweden were found with individuals of South European origins. During the viking era Scandinavian people were actively moving outside the region. Norwegian immigrants moved to Ireland, the Isle of Man and settled across Iceland and Greenland. Danish immigrants mostly explored Britain. Swedish immigrants spread across the Baltic coast in Estonia and Poland and internal Eastern European plains crossed by river routes. DNA data obtained in Ladoga and Gnezdovo highlight significance of both local and alien Scandinavian population. The Volga-Oka interfluve population in the first half of the 1st millennium AD was genetically close to the west Finno-Ugric people and revealed a lot of the West Siberia component in its gene pool. The early Medieval Russian colonization led to a different genetic group in this area. It was related to the contemporary Belarusians, Ukrainians and Ryazan Russians. In 900s–1200s Slavic ancestors co-existed with Finno-Ugric people in the Volga-Oka interfluve. Unlike the Old Ladoga and Gnezdovo Scandinavian genetics was not found here. The West Ingria lacks genome-wide data. Y-chromosome researches suggest that the early Medieval Russians appeared here as late as in 1000s–1100s. By the late 1200s they had mixed with the local Finnish population. Novgorod sopkas and Pskov long kurgans cultures have not yet had ancient DNA data obtained. Such data could have thrown light on the history of Slavic migrations across the North-West Ruthenia. The viking era migrations finished and led to the migrants’ genes being absorbed by locals from the internal Scandinavia. In the same way, outside Scandinavia Scandinavians’ genes were absorbed. In 1200s Slavic colonists’ ancestors absorbed ancestors of the local Finno-Ugric populations in the Volga-Oka interfluve. These mixed gene pools resulted in the contemporary Russians from this region being far from Belarusians and Ukrainians. The Finno-Ugric enclaves lasted in the West Ingria.

the possibility of the existence of a spin nematic state a strong magnetic field in a ferromagnetic substance, which exhibits large biquadratic exchange interaction and has a magnetic ion with spin S = 1, is investigated within the mean field approximation. The case of both isotropic and anisotropic ferromagnet beyond the Heisenberg model is studied. The transformation of the geometric projection of a spin nematic with respect to the magnetic field strength has been studied.
Physical and technological features of mechanoactivation of powder particles formed during hydro-vacuum dispersion of metallic melts

A study has been conducted on the hydro-vacuum dispersion process of metal melts using gray cast iron SCh20 (in Russian nomencluture; 3.3–3.5C, 1.4–2.4Si, 0.7–1Mn, 0.15S, 0.2P in wt %)—an analogue of GG20. It has been revealed that the main factor conditioning the mechanoactivation of formed particles is their solidification in a fibrous non-equilibrium structural-tensioned state. This state is achieved by flattening and asymmetric twistedness of droplets that are detached from the liquid metal in the disperser under volumetric impact of shock-pulsating waves of hydraulic discharge. The degree of particle activation was found to depend exponentially on their dispersion and specific surface area. These parameters determine the degree of asymmetry of shear deformations and the amount of accumulated energy. In turn, the size dispersion and specific surface are significantly influenced by physical and technological factors such as the specific flow rate and pressure of injected water, the thickness and the elevation angle of the hydro shell of the vacuum diffusion funnel, the diameter of the dispersed melt jet passed through it, and its superheating temperature. The control of these parameters makes it possible to smoothly adjust the key ratio “liquid metal: water” and set up the dispersion process with the highest possible degree of size dispersion and activation of the resulting powder.

Ultrafine ZnO–ZnS powders with additions of d-metal oxides additions, namely, V2O5, MnO, Fe2O3, CoO, NiO, CuO are studied. The alloying the ZnO–ZnS system with d-metals changes the morphology of the synthesized powders. The particle size distribution obeys the lognormal law. The addition of d-metal oxide upon the synthesis of ZnO–ZnS composites shifts the maximum of the particle-size distribution to the larger sizes. The most probable particle size for samples alloyed with iron and cobalt (530 nm) exceeds that of unalloyed sample (320 nm) by more than 1.6 times. All the synthesized samples are found to be characterized by excess oxygen. The zinc, sulfur and oxygen contents in the unalloyed ZnO–ZnS compositions is 48.0, 12.8 and 39.2 at%, respectively. The synthesis of the ZnO–ZnS composition together with transition metal oxides does not change the hexagonal and cubic symmetry of the sulfide and hexagonal symmetry of zinc oxide. The presence of iron leads to an increase in the coherent domain size of the cubic ZnS phase.
