Michel Foucault e a incursão ao cenário greco-romano como um reposicionamento estratégico
Authors: Gomes da Silva Fernanda
Published: September 2024

Este artigo busca confrontar a interpretação de que Michel Foucault teria abandonado o campo político, ao voltar-se para o cenário greco-romano em seus últimos textos. Em outra direção, entendo esse recuo temporal como um reposicionamento estratégico que opera um duplo movimento. Ao mesmo tempo que vincula o seu trabalho à filosofia – entendida como prática modificadora de si –, empreende o esforço de pensar em uma saída para os resultados sufocantes das investigações genealógicas dos anos 1970, as quais mostraram que as formas tradicionais de luta, ação e resistência são atravessadas incessantemente por formas renovadas de poder. O recuo temporal na produção tardia de Foucault resulta, portanto, de acordo com a leitura proposta pelo artigo, de uma elaboração que emerge do diagnóstico de suas pesquisas anteriores e constitui uma radicalização do seu pensamento político.
Espiritualidade nas Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde
Authors: Rodrigues Pimenta Fernanda de Cássia , Cândido Viviane Cristina
Published: September 2024

Nos últimos anos, crescem as discussões e pesquisas acerca da relevância e intersecção entre espiritualidade e Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde (PICS), todavia, a leitura dos artigos sobre o assunto evidencia a necessidade de explicitação dos conceitos envolvidos. A Filosofia da Saúde toma para si esse desafio, promovendo o diálogo entre as áreas do conhecimento e seus profissionais para pensar os temas caros à Saúde. Neste ensaio, no diálogo com o Direito, buscamos explicitar as PICS e sua disposição legal e o conceito de espiritualidade presente na legislação sobre o tema pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) e pelo Ministério da Saúde. Constatamos que, embora a espiritualidade seja considerada como um fator que afeta a Saúde e sejam feitas considerações acerca do termo, este não é conceituado na legislação, o que é necessário, inclusive, para fundamentar sua intersecção com as PICS.
Unveiling the Shortcomings of Social Forestry Programs in Indonesia: A Critical Analysis of Farmer Empowerment Initiatives
Authors: Lawasi Moh Andika
Published: September 2024

Since being designated a national strategic program under President Joko Widodo’s administration, social forestry has yet to significantly alleviate poverty or improve the welfare of communities around forests. Despite the ambitious goal of allocating 12.7 million ha through various schemes such as community forests, village forests, customary forests, community plantation forests, and forestry partnerships, the welfare indicators for forest farmers remain largely unchanged. An in-depth investigation into the shortcomings associated with this program is necessary to uncover why it has yet to achieve its fundamental objectives. A comprehensive literature review involving critical analysis of various sources-including Google Scholar, Scopus, government websites, books, and other materials totaling 95 references, was conducted to examine the various dimensions influencing this program. The results reveal several impediments, including inadequate financial support and fragmented stakeholder collaboration, insufficient operational supervision in program implementation, weak motivation and capacity in institutional management, access inequality, conflict management, and underdeveloped post-harvest processing and networking capacities. Knowledge, technology, technical management, and policy information inputs are also insufficient. Addressing these issues requires a holistic approach, beginning with enhanced technical assistance, stronger program oversight, better institutional management, and improved capacities for market-oriented management of social forestry products and services.

This case study outlines the clinical progression of a 22-year-old male patient who initially reported symptoms of fever, severe fatigue and loss of appetite. Physical examination revealed mild splenomegaly accompanied by hematological abnormalities including moderate anemia and leukocytosis. General blood picture showed microcytic hypochromic red blood cells and neutrophilic leukocytosis with total leucocyte count of 16800/cu mm having 76% neutrophils, 22% lymphocytes, 1% eosinophils and 1% monocytes. Platelet count was within normal range and approximately 1.5 lac/cu mm. There was no significant past medical history or family history nor any history of smoking or alcohol abuse. Chest X-ray revealed only mild prominent broncho vascular marking. Patient was treated with antibiotics and came for follow up within a month with symptoms of fatigue and mild breathlessness on exertion. Examination revealed hepatosplenomegaly and on ultrasonogram hepatosplenomegaly with left sided gross pleural effusion and abdominal lymphadenopathy was revealed. On repeating a complete blood count, it showed marked leukocytosis with 90% lymphocytes. The peripheral blood smear examination revealed 80% lymphoblasts 10% neutrophils 8%lymphocytes and 2% eosinophils. This case shows the transformation of blood picture to acute lymphoblastic leukemia within a month's time in a 22 years old male.
A STUDY ON THE STRENGTHS OF HAIR: RELAXED AND NATURAL HAIR STRENGTHS AMONG UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN STUDENTS, ILORIN, KWARA STATE
Authors: Precious Dr. Adebayo Zainab
Published: September 2024

Hair strength determines hair health and length, and this is an important property that varies in all races. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between natural and relaxed hair strengths, and to determine the relationship between hair strength and age among female students. A total of 210 female subjects aged 17-35 years (100 with Relaxed hair and 110 with Natural hair) selected from the University of Ilorin were used for this study. Three hair strands were taken from the vertices of participants, and their lengths were measured using a ruler. Hair Breakage Weight (HBW) (the amount of suspended weight (in grammes) that breaks hair strand) was measured and recorded using a digital weighing scale. Data were analysed using SPSS (IBM®, ARMONK, NEW YORK, USA) and results were computed using Pearson's Chi-square analysis. Independent Samples T-test was used to compare the HBW of two strands to one strand. P-values less than 0.05 were considered to be significant. Results showed that the mean HBWs of one strand and two strands for Natural hair were higher than those of Relaxed hair (p≤0.001). Natural hair had a higher HBW value than Relaxed hair. There was no significant statistical relationship between hair breakage weight and age in both Natural (p=0.437) and Relaxed hair (p=0.551). There was a significant difference between HBW of one strand and HBW of two strands (p≤0.001). Average Hair Breakage Weight range for Relaxed and Natural hairs were 40.00-64.00(g) and 52.50-76.50(g) respectively. This study shows that Natural hair has a higher strength than Relaxed hair, which implies that Natural hair is much better for females wanting longer, healthier and more beautiful hair. It also gives information about hair strengths in individuals, pointing out why some individuals experience more hair breakage than others, which is clinically important for health and aesthetic reasons.
Challenges of legal regulation of e-commerce in the context of globalization of the digital economy
Authors: Volynets V.
Published: September 2024

E-commerce is a key aspect of the modern digital economy, which is actively developing in the context of globalization. The importance of e-commerce lies in its ability to promote economic growth, create new opportunities for entrepreneurship, and provide consumers with access to a wide range of goods and services. This article analyzes the legal regulation of e-commerce in the context of the globalization of the digital economy, examining the experience of countries such as the USA, Singapore, China, and the European Union. The article outlines the main principles of legal regulation of e-commerce under Ukraine’s national legislation and highlights the key challenges facing legal regulation in this area.
The experience of foreign countries shows that effective legal regulation of e-commerce is possible with the harmonization of legislation, enhanced protection of consumer rights and personal data, ensuring cybersecurity, and supporting innovation. The USA, Singapore, China, and the EU have different approaches to regulating e-commerce, but all aim to create a favorable legal environment for the development of this market segment.
The article also examines the main features of legal relationships in the field of e-commerce, as defined by the Law of Ukraine “On E-commerce”. It highlights the rights and obligations of participants in electronic transactions, the procedure for concluding electronic contracts, the protection of consumer rights and personal data, and the responsibility of participants for non-fulfillment of their obligations.
Based on the analysis of foreign experience and national legislation, recommendations are formulated for improving the legal regulation of e-commerce in Ukraine. Further research in this area may focus on studying new technological solutions and their impact on legal regulation, analyzing the effectiveness of existing legal norms, and developing recommendations for their improvement.
Theoretical and legal characteristics of transfer as a form of realization of the right to work by civil servants in Ukraine
Authors: Pikul V. P.
Published: September 2024

The article carries out a complex theoretical and legal analysis of transfer as a form of realization of the right to work by civil servants in Ukraine. In particular, the legal grounds, procedure and consequences of the transfer of civil servants are investigated, taking into account the regulatory framework and the practice of applying the current legislation. The main attention is paid to the study of the features of the transfer, its impact on the labor rights of civil servants, as well as ensuring the effectiveness of the functioning of state authorities. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to improve the legal regulation of labor relations in the field of public service, increase the requirements for professional mobility and adaptability of civil servants in the context of reforming the state apparatus of Ukraine.
The scientific novelty of the work consists in the definition and systematization of the legal basis for the transfer of civil servants, the analysis of their compliance with international standards and practice, as well as in the development of recommendations for improving legislation in this area. The article highlights the main forms and types of transfer of civil servants, examines in detail the legal grounds for the transfer, in particular, initiation by the head of the civil service, reorganization and liquidation of state authorities, the need to avoid the subordination of relatives, etc. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the impact of the transfer on the material situation, career development and realization of the right to work of civil servants. It was found that the transfer to a lower position, although not defined as a significant change in working conditions, actually leads to significant changes that require additional legal regulation and protection of employees’ rights. Clear criteria and transfer procedures are proposed, which take into account both service needs and the rights and interests of civil servants themselves.
An important place in the work is the analysis of the international experience of the legal regulation of the transfer of civil servants, in particular the models used in the countries of the European Union. The possibilities of adapting such models to Ukrainian realities in order to improve the efficiency of the civil service and protect the labor rights of civil servants have been studied. On the basis of the conducted research, a conclusion was made about the need to improve the legislation in the field of transfer of civil servants, to ensure the transparency and fairness of this process, as well as to create effective control mechanisms for compliance with the relevant procedures. The proposed recommendations can be used for further reform of the civil service system in Ukraine, contributing to increase its efficiency and the professional level of civil servants.

Concepts and legal signs of legal provision of environmental safety during open-pipe mining works
Authors: Solohub A. M.
Published: September 2024

It is indicated that the protection of the natural environment, the rational use of natural resources, ensuring the ecological safety of human activities are an integral condition for the sustainable economic and social development of Ukraine. Mining, including open-pit mining, is an important source of economic development and economic independence of the state. However, open-pit mining is accompanied by a significant negative impact on the environment. Therefore, in the context of European integration, environmental safety in open pit mining as a component of environmental safety is of great importance for Ukraine’s national security.
Due to the lack of scientific developments and clear legislative regulation of the issue of environmental safety in open pit mining, it is necessary to study the concept and legal features of legal support for environmental safety in open pit mining. To this end, the article highlights various scientific approaches to the definition of the concept of environmental safety and legal support, and provides a legal analysis of these concepts, on the basis of which the author derives the concept of environmental safety in open pit mining, as well as the concept and legal features of legal support for environmental safety in open pit mining.

The human right to drinking water in Ukraine: some issues legal regulation
Authors: Cherkashyna M.
Published: September 2024

The article focuses on the analysis of legal regulation of the human right to drinking water in Ukraine, as well as to the justification of proposals for improving environmental and other legislation in the researched field at the national level considering the experience of the European Union. It has been determined that the ever-increasing shortage of drinking water and other urgent problems regarding protection and use of this natural resource, indispensable for humans, actualize the need to consider the issues of ensuring the human right to drinking water of normative quality and sufficient quantity to meet personal and household needs.
Legislative norms ensuring water protection and the safety when using it for drinking water supply have been identified by conducting the environmental legislation analysis. They have been divided into groups, in particular those that establish: the priority of using water bodies for the drinking needs of the population; that limit the use of water bodies in order to ensure the priority of protecting human life and health; the one establishing a special legal regime for the protection and use of water bodies that are sources of drinking water supply; requirements for the quality of water used to meet the drinking and household needs of the population.
Based on the analysis of the norms of the Water Code of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine “On Drinking Water and Drinking Water Supply”, it was concluded that individuals who, in order to meet their needs, carry out general water use, namely, taking water from water bodies without the use of structures or technical devices or doing it from wells, are not consumers of drinking water. And therefore, the right to drinking water of normative quality and sufficient quantity to meet the personal and household needs of such water users, unfortunately, is not enshrined in the environmental legislation, which requires making appropriate additions to it.
Particular attention is paid to the improvement of environmental and other legislation of Ukraine and the establishment of such provisions that reflect the life-sustaining function of water resources, as well as the direct impact of drinking water on human life and health. Based on this, it is proposed to make appropriate changes and additions to the Constitution of Ukraine, to the Law of Ukraine “Basics of the Legislation of Ukraine on Health Care”, to the future Medical Code of Ukraine.
The rights of a remote worker as a guarantee of unhindered performance of the labor function
Authors: Biloha A. I.
Published: September 2024

The article explores the modern phenomenon of telecommuting and focuses on the rights of employees who perform their work duties outside the traditional workplace. In today’s conditions of globalization and digitization of the economy, more and more employees are interested in remote work mode. This trend is due to both the need to adapt to new working conditions and the desire to ensure flexibility in the performance of work duties. However, despite the growing popularity of remote work, the issue of the rights of remote workers in Ukraine remains insufficiently researched. This article is devoted to the overview and characteristics of the main rights of teleworkers as a guarantee of the unhindered performance of the labor function.
The author analyzes the main legislative acts that secure the rights of remote workers, in particular in the context of Ukrainian labor legislation, as well as the Model Labor Contract on remote work, and highlights the key rights that ensure the unhindered performance of the labor function. Special attention is paid to the issue of choosing a workplace together with by comparison with another type of atypical employment – homework; organization of working hours, material and technical support, as well as general employee rights, such as the employee’s right to paid annual leave, wages, the right to provide social guarantees and mandatory social insurance, to be a party to social dialogue, etc. The author also considered the set of rights of a teleworker, which is provided for in a standard telework contract. The article emphasizes the importance of ensuring the rights of teleworkers in order to create an effective, fair working environment and integrate into it an employee who works under an employment contract for telework.
The article will be useful for remote workers who want to familiarize themselves with their rights and obligations; employers who seek to organize the effective work of remote teams; lawyers specializing in labor law; civil servants who are engaged in the development of legislation in the field of legal regulation of remote work in Ukraine.

What Did it Mean When Knowledgeable Hopi Called the Moon Chief Qahopi?
Authors: McCluskey Stephen C.
Published: September 2024

This study uses the methodology of the history of scientific ideas to critically examine several aspects of an unpublished ethnographic discussion in which Alexander Stephen describes nineteenth-century Hopi understandings of the Moon. As is common in the interpretation of early texts, we draw insights into a text's meaning from other writings by the author and his contemporaries.
The Moon Chief is a man—& is so called (Müriyawû Moñwi) but does not seem to be held in much veneration, in fact they say he is Kaho’pi = foolish. He has no house– although like the Sun, he carries the Moon on his arm, shield fashion; during his journey [across the sky].
Alexander M. Stephen, (1891-84, 18 Jan. 1894)
Here we draw especially on the ethnographic writings of Alexander Stephen to shed light on how he interpreted Hopi astronomical conceptions of the Sun and the Moon and how he understood the terms Moon Chief and qahopi.
First, we ask what kind of being did Stephen and his knowledgeable Hopi mean when they spoke of the Moon Chief? Next, we ask what does the word qahopi mean or, to use specific examples, what did a Hopi mean when they said that a man or a woman or the Moon Chief or a kind of behavior was qahopi? After having clarified the general meaning of qahopi and identified the nature of the Moon Chief as a spiritual being who carried the Moon across the sky, we ask what aspects of the Moon Chief 's behavior did Stephen's Hopi experts consider to be qahopi? We then ask how, or whether, the qahopi aspects of the Moon Chief 's behavior influenced the form of the Hopi's successful luni-solar calendar. Finally, what light does the fact that some knowledgeable Hopi considered the Moon Chief to lack a house and therefore to be qahopi shed on our understandings of Hopi astronomy and of the astronomy of the Hopi's protohistoric Pueblo predecessors?
In this final section we draw on early studies of astronomies in prehistoric cultures to shed light on the astronomical concepts – principally the lunar standstills – that illuminate the Moon’s lack of a house in Hopi astronomy.
Cultural Heritage of Observatories
Authors: Wolfschmidt Gudrun
Published: September 2024

Astronomical heritage represents scientific heritage in its cultural context. Astronomy as an integral and outstanding part of daily life in different societies is visible in the architectural structure of astronomical observatories. But astronomical buildings, instruments and astronomical research and knowledge change over time and are permanently in a process of construction. Due to these changes, observatories do not necessarily demonstrate potential Outstanding Universal Value which would be needed for inscription on the World Heritage List.
But these observatories can be included in the IAU-accredited list (independent of Unesco) of “Outstanding Astronomical Heritage”, when they are outstanding in the history of astronomy due to their scientific achievements. In this contribution, I would like to present the development of architecture and instruments of observatories from the Early Modern Time until today.
First, I will show examples like Baroque or neo-classical observatories. In the baroque time astronomy is linked very often to other sciences, not only celestial, but also terrestrial (surveying) and meteorological observations were made, especially, the Mathematical Tower of Kremsmünster should be mentioned in this sense. Then I will discuss what has been achieved for modern observatories around 1900 like La Plata and Hamburg where the transition from classical astronomy to modern astrophysics should be presented in a serial transnational Unesco application; this transition is visible in the architecture, the choice of instruments, and the arrangement of the observatory buildings in an “Astronomy Park”.
The recent observatories around 2000 (e.g.ESO Very Large Telescope), radioastronomy observatories like Jodrell Bank, Effelsbergor underground neutrino observatories (Gran Sasso,Italy) changed their appearance completely; these are impressive metallic structures which no longer remind of the typical shape of observatories with domes.
The Unesco initiative Astronomy & World Heritage (AWH) could be broadened in order to include the heritage of astronomy, science and technology in general –examples are e. g. including the main building or the main campus of the university in addition to the observatory or including physical, meteorological, seismological or geomagnetic laboratories. Cultural heritage of astronomy, science and technology plays not only an important role in scientific institutions, but also in the first sites devoted to education and popularization of science for the general public and especially for young people. In this respect, astronomy was the leading science for popularization – important examples are the Gottorf Globe, the Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker, and the projection planetarium, invented by Carl Zeiss of Jena.
Eclipse Prediction and the Length of the Lunar Month in Mayan Astronomy
Authors: Iwaniszewski Stanislaw
Published: September 2024

One of the most remarkable achievements of Mayan calendrical astronomy was the in- vention of a lunar theory that combined a fixed lunar calendar with eclipse predictions. Eclipse predictions are shown in the Dresden Codex on pages 51-58. The lunar calendar is reflected in the Maya Lunar Series, which was attached to the chronological statements of Maya rulers displayed on monuments.
The so-called Eclipse Table covers 405 schematic lunar months, divided into 69 groups of 6 and 5 months each (D53a-D58b). It is preceded by a table of multiples of 11,960 days (D51a- D52a), the period covered by the table. The table structure generally exhibits three units with 23 eclipse possibilities each, of which twenty occur after six months and three after five months. Since each unit contains 135 months, the table includes 405 months (= 3 x 135) or three tritos series. Considering that each units warns about the possibility of 23 eclipses, the entire table allows warning about the possibility of 69 (= 3 x 23) eclipses. Some schol- ars, however, argued that the table originated from a tzolkinex, an eclipse period consist- ing of 88 synodic months. Both periods produce mean eclipse periods, which are more accurate than the saros.
Despite the Maya systematic alternation of 29- and 30-day lunar months, they devised a method to insert additional or leap days at regular intervals to track the lunar phases accu- rately. This method, known from the Lunar Table found at the Maya city of Xultun, is based on the record of 162 lunar months. The Xultun table is compatible with the intervals of 11960 days used in several Maya cities to perform lunar computations backwardly. in time.
This paper aims to provide a helpful and informative description of the records that are utilized to infer the mean values of the length of a half eclipse year and the average length of a lunation in Maya astronomy.
Llamaqñawin (The eyes of the Celestial Llama,α and β Centauri), myths and the annual cycle of water in the Pachacámac Inca sanctuary
Authors: Pinasco Alfio
Published: September 2024

The Inca oracular sanctuary of the god Pachacama (organizer-energizer of time-space) began its heyday with Tupa Inca Yupanqui ca. 1465 AD, becoming the most important oracular-administrative centre of the coast, and second in importance in all the Tawantinsuyo, "the Inca empire of the four regions". Located on the rainless desert central coast of present-day Peru, the urban complex of adobe and stone buildings has four temples, fourteen structures with ramps, several courtyards and twenty-one edifices, occupying 1,250 acres. The urban layout presents three main alignments that establish its basic directions in almost all the structures in the central zone, the inner and most occupied area of the sanctuary.
Archeoastronomy studies in the sanctuary, with azimuth records taken in situ (1991-2009), as well as studies (2014-2018) using GIS software on aerial photographs, satellite images and panoramic contours, and 2019 drone survey of the sanctuary providing geo-photogrammetric data, confirm alignments directed mainly to the rising and setting of solstices, the major lunar standstills and the rising of α and β Centauri, revealing a landscape rich in cultural significance. The sanctuary’s astronomical layout, as a huge calendrical marker, would also allow an accurate annual record of the course of time and the important diagnosis and prognosis of hydro-climatic variations, both essential to organize propitiatory and preventive measures in ceremonial and agricultural activities.
Among the main building orientations of the sanctuary, the North Portal’s alignment with the Main Entrance street is remarkable. This long alignment pointed (circa 1500 AD) to the rising of α and β Centauri, known in Quechua as Llamaqñawin. This Main Entrance street with adjacent enclosures would have been a ceremonial transitive passage. These stars are also marked geographically at the place where the promontory of Pucusana hill (33 km away) touches the Pacific Ocean. Llamaqñawin are the “eyes” of the dark constellation known as Yacana, the “Celestial Llama”. In ethnohistorical documents of the central highlands of Peru the llama is related explicitly to the rainy season (Guamán Poma, 1615) and as custodian to the flow of water (Francisco de Avila, 1608). Thus, the alignment of the sanctuary’s main entrance directed towards the “Eyes of the Llama” is revealing, turning out to be a wake-up call about the element through which all life flows: water.
The sanctuary’s layout both records and celebrates the cycles of the celestial bodies, the rites, the myths, the weather cycles, and water cycles: sustenance of life. The sanctuary is indeed an Inca ceremonial administrative centre, but in the holistic, inclusive sense that the ancient Andean world attributed to the deity Pachacáma: the organizer and energizer of the whole, the foundation, the driving force of the synergies that sustains life in the totality of time-space.
Good faith principle in Indonesian contract law: How to set the definition and its benchmarks
Authors: Nugrahenti Meydora Cahya , Hernawan Ari
Published: September 2024

As an essential principle in contract law, Indonesia has regulated good faith in the Indonesian Civil Code (the Dutch Civil Code that the Indonesian government uses based on the principle of concordance). However, the definition and benchmarks are not yet clear. There are no further provisions regarding the meaning and concept of this principle in the Indonesian Civil Code or other regulations. This absence of a single understanding of good faith principle in contract causes different opinions and legal certainty, whether from the business actor who signs the agreement or the judge as the third party who resolves contract disputes between parties. Therefore, future Indonesian contract law needs to regulate the definition and benchmarks for good faith principle. In order to find out the meaning and clear benchmarks for the good faith principle, the authors use a normative juridical method with a statute and conceptual approach. This research finds that the definition and benchmarks for the good faith principle is possible to be developed and regulated in Indonesian contract law. It shall set that good faith principle is based on honesty, decency, and fairness, which covers every agreement stage, from pre-agreement, agreement implementation, and after the agreement is completed.

cancel culture in the political discourse of modern russia
Authors: Быков И.А. , Ахмедова Ю.Д.
Published: September 2024

Статья посвящена исследованию феномена культуры отмены в политическом дискурсе современной России. Культура отмены как новая форма политического остракизма стала значимым элементом медийного дискурса и чаще всего выражается в форме массового и публичного отказа (от англ. – Cancel) от поддержки деятельности различных знаменитостей или социальных групп в связи с их политическими взглядами и высказываниями. В первую очередь культура отмены проявляется в отказе от подписки на знаменитостей, что в условиях современной персонифицированной политики создает значимый медийный повод и становится предметом интенсивного обсуждения в социальных медиа. Основным методом исследования выступил критический дискурс-анализ. Основной исследовательский вопрос работы связан с выявлением места и роли культуры отмены в политическом дискурсе современной России. Было обнаружено, что культура отмены в России существует, однако ее влияние на политическую повестку и, тем более, на политический процесс значительно ограничено.

INNOVATIVE PRACTICES OF INTERACTION OF THE MAIN OFFICIAL MEDIA OF THE PRC WITH THE AUDI- ENCE DURING THE CORONAVIRUS EPIDEMIC
Authors: Лай Л.
Published: September 2024

В социально-политическом контексте Китая именно основные официальные СМИ, такие, как CCTV, газета “Жэньминь Жибао”, информационное агентство Синьхуа и играют роль главного, авторитетного источника информации и “смотровой башни” общества при его столкновении с внезапно возникающими общественным инцидентами. Широко известен феномен “мы медиа” в КНР, означающий огромный потенциал влияния сетевых медиа, являющихся вызовом авторитету официальных СМИ. В таких условиях последние начали общественный интеграционный процесс с расширения интернет-каналов и развития с новых СМИ. В данной статье анализируются инновационные практики взаимодействия с аудиторией основных государственных СМИ во время эпидемии на примере CCTV и “Жэньминь Жибао”.

The effect of muzzle devices on the distribution of muzzle waves when firing an assault rifle
Authors: Nguyen Dung Van , Bui Viet Quy
Published: September 2024

When firing an infantry gun, the muzzle wave will spread into the surrounding space, which will cause harmful mechanical effects to the shooter and military personnel near the weapon. The impact of the muzzle wave on the shooter is increased when a muzzle device is placed on the barrel of the gun. Therefore, weapon designers desire to improve the efficiency of muzzle devices and limit the mechanical impact of the muzzle wave on the shooter's hearing organs. This article discusses a thermogasdynamic method for determining the changes in excess pressure distribution of the muzzle wave and sound pressure level at the shooter's ear position. The calculations focus on shooting an assault rifle with three different types of muzzle devices, each with varying features and efficiencies, using 7.62x39 mm ammunition. The results indicate that the isobaric curve of the muzzle wave shifts backward when a muzzle device is used. This shift can lead to an increase of up to 6\;dB in the sound pressure level near the gunner's ear. The results of the mathematical models are consistent with the data from the experiments. The article provides a basis for a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of using muzzle devices.

Published: September 2024

This study investigated the sustainability aspect of the fly ash (FA)-based one-part geopolymers (OPGs) with various combinations and amount of alkali activators (AA). The three groups of OPG were: the M-OPG activated with solely sodium metasilicate-anhydrous (Na2SiO3), the MH-OPG with Na2SiO3 and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and the MC-OPG with Na2SiO3 and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). The compressive strength, embodied carbon, embodied carbon index, embodied energy and embodied energy index were identified. Test result shows that the M-OPG and MC-OPG with the AA/FA ratio of 0.20 attained 83 MPa and 75 MPa of compressive strengths, respectively. The MH-OPG with AA/FA ratio of 0.15 attained 72 MPa of compressive strength. The embodied carbon and embodied energy of the OPGs were mainly contributed by the Na2SiO3-anhydrous. The values were lowered when the Na2SiO3-anhydrous were partially substituted with NaOH or Na2CO3. Increasing the AA content increased the embodied carbon and energy. The embodied carbon index (3.80 kg CO2/m3/MPa) and embodied energy index (14.72 MJ/m3/MPa) of the MC-OPG with AA/FA ratio of 0.20 were the lowest. The outcome of this study supports the utilisation of Na2CO3 to partially substitute Na2SiO3 for the development of OPGs.

Authors: Yadav M. , Saha J.K. , Ghosh S.K.
Published: September 2024

In the present study corrosion behaviour of three coated steel sheets in different corrosive environments was evaluated using various characterisation techniques. Multiple types of corrosion tests, like salt spray test, 100% relative humidity test and chemical resistance test, were performed to report the corrosion resistance of samples in different corrosive environments. Enhanced corrosion resistance properties of the colour-coated samples were obtained from all the studies, followed by galvalume and galvanised samples. Cyclic voltammetry reveals a slightly higher pitting for the galvalume sample. SEM, EDS, XRD and Raman analyses for the salt spray tested and 100% humidity tested galvanised samples shows various corrosion products with their morphologies. XRD analysis reveals Zn5(OH)8Cl2H2O (simonkolleite), ZnO (zinc oxide), β-Zn (OH)2, Zn (OH)2 (zinc hydroxide) and Zn (ClO4)2 for salt spray tested samples whereas for the 100% relative humidity tested samples, main corrosion products are ZnO (zinc oxide), β-Zn (OH)2, Zn (OH)2 (zinc hydroxide), Fe and Zn. Raman spectroscopy reveals the presence of ZnO, β-FeOOH, white rust, green rust, FeCl2, Fe3O4, FeOH, Fe2O3 and δ-FeOH for salt spray tested samples, but for 100% humidity test, only ZnO is revealed.

Dual-phase (DP) steels with their dual phase microstructures (hard martensite and soft ferrite) are used in many industrial applications, especially in the automotive industry, thanks to their desired mechanical properties and formability. These properties are directly related to their phase distribution in microstructure obtained as a result of the production conditions. The most important step of the production of cold rolled DP steels is the annealing process. In this study, the effect of boron alloying with line scale heat treatment cycle on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cold rolled DP steel was investigated. For this purpose, mechanical test, formability and weldability tests were carried out. The materials were characterized by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EBSD) studies. According to the results, alloying with boron delays the formation of ferrite and pearlite/bainite during the cooling process and increases the martensite formation rate. Boron alloyed cold rolled DP steel shows improved yield and tensile strength without significant loss of elongation. On the other hand, alloying with boron does not have a detrimental effect on the weld properties.
