Authors:   Russian State University named after A.N. Kosygin, Karev A.N. , Tyurin M.P. ,   Russian State University named after A.N. Kosygin
Published: January 2025

The article is dedicated to the current problem of increasing energy efficiency by recycling heat emitted during the condensation of spent gaseous steam-water mixtures in various thermal plants. Special attention is paid to the application of contact heat exchangers withdrawing heat and moisture from escaping hot gases to be recycled in the production flow.
Industrial facilities and enterprises of production synthetic fiber in particular are significant sources of emissions of anhydride, binary compounds of sulfur and nitrogen, including their solid micro-particles. Such emissions negatively affect the atmosphere, climate, and human health. Various types of gas purifying equipment are considered: i.e., scrubbers, DESP systems, and various types of dust collectors (mechanical, fabric, granular, etc.).
A model has been provided to calculate the parameters of a scrubber designed to purify and recycle the heat waste of emission gases from various devices used by chemical fiber production enterprises. The model is based on the cell approach and considers the processes of heat and mass exchange between gaseous and liquid phases. Mathematical dependences describing heat and mass transfer processes in the scrubber are also provided, including recurrent matrix equations to analyze the kinetics of such processes. The author presents the methodology of model parameter calculation, including the determination of temperature, pressure, and moisture content in various locations of the device. The proposed methodology helps to determine both transition processes and the stationary state in the scrubber in question. Notably, the obtained calculations demonstrate the high efficiency of the device operation.
The suggested calculation methodology can be implemented in any software designed for operations with matrices, which makes it a useful tool for engineering calculations and the optimization of systems of heat waste purification and recycling at industrial enterprises. The article is of interest to experts in the field of thermal energy.

Published: January 2025

The success of open-access repositories depends heavily on researchers’ willingness to disseminate their research through self-archiving. Previous studies indicated that lack of self-archiving was a major obstacle to the success of institutional open-access repositories. This study aimed to identify factors influencing researchers' behavior in self-archiving. The analysis examined the influence of repository performance expectations, effort expectations, social influence, and facilitating conditions on researchers' self-archiving intentions and behavior. The study also explored the moderating role of demographic factors such as gender, age, and experience in the relationship between the analyzed factors and self-archiving intentions and behavior. Furthermore, this study also revealed the direct impact of regulatory awareness and research discipline on self-archiving intentions and behavior. The research findings showed that social influence significantly affected researchers' intentions to self-archive while facilitating conditions had a substantial impact on self-archiving behavior. Additionally, demographic variables, such as gender, age, and experience, were found to moderate the effects of social influence on behavioral intention, while awareness of regulations contributed directly to self-archiving behavior. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening social influence, providing adequate supporting conditions, and implementing supportive policies and regulations to enhance researchers' self-archiving behavior in open-access institutional repositories.

Published: January 2025

This research explores the communication of traditional sexual customs in Mandar society, focusing on practices related to sexual relations. Although these practices are an integral part of Mandar cultural identity, social change and modernization have affected their understanding and application. Using phenomenological analysis, this study identifies the symbolic meanings, values and changes that occur in these customs and seeks to understand the role of verbal and non-verbal communication in their preservation or transformation. The findings reveal that symbols in traditional sexual rituals still have important meanings, reflecting values such as respect, family honor and social harmony. However, there have been noticeable changes in the way these symbols are understood and practiced, especially among the younger generation, who tend to interpret the customs from a modern perspective. These findings contribute to understanding how cultural symbols adapt in a changing social landscape, with broader implications for cultural preservation and communication studies in evolving societies.

Drugs in ophthalmology are most often applied topically in the conjunctival sac. All preparations administered through this route must meet specific requirements and, therefore, not just a simple solution or suspension of the drug in water. In addition to the therapeutic substance, eye drops contain various additives: buffers, preservatives, stabilisers, antioxidants, and isotonic substances to increase solubility and viscosity. Excipients are essential components of drugs that determine their quality and properties and can increase the effectiveness of treatment, e.g. by increasing the penetration of the drug through biological barriers. However, because of the high demands placed on ocular medicines, the choice of excipients is very limited.
This article discusses the facts and myths surrounding the use of excipients, including preservatives, in eye drops.

This study aims to identify and the implementation of ASN Management policies on career development aspects based on the merit system in the West Java Provincial Government and 6 Regency/City Governments in West Java Province. The failure of the institutionalization of the meritocratic system in ASN career development is partly triggered by the symptoms of the appointment or selection of officials in the central and regional levels not based on their professionalism or competence except for subjective considerations, political ties, close relationships and even bribery. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The operationalization concept in this study uses Merilee S. Grindle’s Policy Implementation theory which consists of dimensions of policy content and its implementation context. The factors that cause the implementation of the policy to be less than optimal include: 1. Uneven understanding of meritocracy; 2. Slowness/unpreparedness in synchronizing central and regional rules/policies; 3. The information integration system between the center and regions has not yet been implemented; 4. Limited supporting infrastructure; 5. Limited permits for related officials; 6. Transparency; 7. Collaboration across units/agencies; 8. External intervention; 9. Use of information systems/technology. To optimize these factors, an Accelerator of Governmental Unit’s Success (AGUS) model was created, which is a development of the Grindle policy implementation model with the novelty of adding things that influence implementation, including top leader’s commitment and wisdom, effectiveness of talent placement, on-point human development, technology savvy, cross-unit/agency collaboration, and monitoring and evaluation processes.

Monkeypox has become an issue of global concern as cases continue to rise across various countries. While most cases display mild symptoms, severe infections can lead to life-threatening complications. Early detection is therefore crucial to control the spread of monkeypox, with one approach being the segmentation of monkeypox lesions to differentiate affected areas from healthy skin and remove any interfering elements, such as hair, which can enhance model accuracy. In this consider, due to the inaccessibility of labeled masks, mask information were produced utilizing watershed segmentation with the sobel operator and otsu thresholding. The division of skin injuries was in this way carried out with a U-Net demonstrate, utilizing MobileNetV2 as the backbone and ImageNet weights for transfer learning. The U-Net model reached an accuracy of 88.07%, though some signs of overfitting were observed, likely due to low-quality label information from the watershed labeling process, which necessitates parameter tuning.
