Authors: Spitale Giovanni , Germani Federico , Fritschi Franc , Merten Sonja , Biller-Andorno Nikola
Published: December 2024

Background:Beyond the public health challenges it posed, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of public discourses, particularly regarding moral key terms such as freedom. Understanding how these terms, including freedom, are used across different forms of public communication is critical for promoting an informed dialogue during crises and reducing societal polarization.Objective:This study aims to explore the usage of the key moral term freedom within public discourses in Switzerland. It examines the terms’ framing in official press releases, newspapers, and social media to map its usage, identifying discrepancies in the construction of its meaning. The results of this study could aid policymakers in the design of strategies for improving clarity and consistency in public reasoning, and reduce polarization in public discourses.Methods:We analyzed three datasets with a NLP pipeline comprising lemmatization, co-occurrence analysis, and semantic network mapping: official press releases from the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (BAG), newspaper articles from major outlets retrieved via Factiva, and social media posts collected via CrowdTangle. Results:The analysis revealed notable differences in how freedom was framed across datasets. Government press releases emphasized the need to balance public health responsibilities with personal autonomy, while newspapers highlighted the tension between restrictions and civil liberties. Social media discourse was marked by polarized views, with prominent themes of activism, distrust in authorities, and debates over individual versus collective freedoms.Conclusions:The conceptualizations of freedom emerging from the data reflect tensions between individual rights and collective responsibilities during the pandemic. Inconsistent framing across different contexts likely contributed to societal polarization and institutional distrust. The study highlights the need for clearer communication and shared understanding of key moral terms such as freedom, which could help strengthen democratic processes and institutions.
Income Inequality, Income Position and Life Satisfaction
Authors: Valet Peter
Published: December 2024

This paper revisits the predominant view in the literature suggesting all people perceive income inequality as equally harmful. I argue that while income inequality tends to have negative consequences for the majority, it can be beneficial for those at the upper end of a country’s income distribution. Specifically, people in higher income deciles are likely to experience greater life satisfaction and especially in societies with higher levels of income inequality, where their relative advantage is more pronounced. To explore this, I analyze data from 29 European countries covered in Round 9 (2018) of the European Social Survey. Results employing multi-level modelling reveal an interplay between income inequality and individual income position. While higher income inequality is generally associated with lower life satisfaction, this effect is predominantly observed among people in the lower income brackets. Conversely, those in higher income positions tend to report greater life satisfaction, and this effect is magnified in countries with higher levels of income inequality. These findings suggest that income inequality has a differentiated impact, with the negative consequences largely affecting those at the bottom of the income ladder, while those at the top may benefit. Moreover, men compared to women are tentatively more affected in their life satisfaction by income inequality and their income position. To more accurately predict the relationship between income inequality and people’s life satisfaction, future research should consider the varying experiences of different income groups, particularly focusing on who benefits and who is disadvantaged in unequal societies.

Sign and Expression in Performing Stravinsky's Neoclassical Works
Authors: Dahl Per
Published: December 2024

The signs and expressions on the sheet music are the pivotal point of communication between the composer’s idea of the musical work and the musician’s interpretation. Performing Stravinsky’s neoclassical works is challenging because he gives guidance through various media and on several intellectual levels through his books, scores, and recordings. In a multi-layered communication model, the differences and discrepancies between his writings, the vocabulary of articulation in his published scores, and his interpretations of his music on recordings will be analysed. In performing his neoclassical works, it is necessary to bear in mind the subjective and intersubjective approach to interpretation in the way Stravinsky demonstrates in his recordings and especially in the vocabulary of articulation signs in neoclassical works.

The mechanisms of anticonvulsant effects on bone metabolism are not studied sufficiently. This determines the relevance of research on factors that influence the development of osteoporosis in patients taking long-term anticonvulsants. The aim of the study to evaluate the effect of modifiable and non-modifiable osteoporosis risk factors on changes in bone mineral density during long-term therapy with anticonvulsants. Materials and methods. The study included 100 adult patients receiving anticonvulsants for moren12 months and 58 healthy volunteers. All participants underwent a clinical screening with assessment of factors affecting bone metabolism and a densitometric study using quantitative computed tomography at three points (L1, L2 and femoral neck). Results. CT-densitometry results showed decrease bone mineral density in the most part of the participants in both study groups. According to the data of the analysis of the influence of osteoporosis risk factors on bone mineral density values, it was found that the presence of fractures in the anamnesis and low level of motor activity increased the risk of osteoporosis development in patients taking long-term anticonvulsants (p (χ2) < 0.001). Conclusion. The results of the study confirm the importance of continuing research on factors affecting bone metabolism and developing a set of preventive measures to prevent the development of osteoporosis.
"The rat tail" as a pathognomonic morphological pattern of infection by actinomyces in patients who use or not intrauterine devices
Authors: Francisco Javier Torres-Gómez
Published: December 2024

The morphological diagnosis of actinomyces in cytological samples from the female genital tract is well represented in the literature. Their finding presents an important relationship with the use of intrauterine devices, although this relationship cannot always be demonstrated. The "rat tail" image can be considered "classic" as well as rare. Our intention is to show a small atlas or collection of images extracted from our archive in order to recover and disseminate this peculiar and useful diagnostic finding.
The Association of Pregnancy, Alpha-fetoprotein, and Fetal Defects with Breast Cancer Risk: A Review and Commentary
Authors: J. Mizejewski Gerald
Published: December 2024

Human alpha-fetoprotein (HAFP) during pregnancy has long been utilized in the obstetric clinic as a pregnancy gestational age-dependent biomarker for birth defects such as neural tube defects and aneuploidies. Within the last two decades, the HAFP polypeptide has also been reported to transition into intermediate protein folding forms depending on levels of ligand concentrations in fetal microenvironments. A conformational change or transformation of the AFP polypeptide produces a molten globule form of the fetal protein known as “transformed AFP (TrAFP). This HAFP transformation exposes a short peptide amino acid sequence on the full-length AFP which functions as a growth-inhibiting factor able to inhibit and prevent the growth of cancer cell microfoci in fetal and maternal tissues including the breast. In past studies, it was reported that a reduced risk of postmenopausal breast cancer later in life was associated with elevated AFP levels during pregnancy. Recent studies have further reported that HAFP can interact, bind, and disable mutated DNA-damage repair proteins in a cell’s growth cycle which progresses to mitosis; this function prevents replication of cells with damaged DNA. Based on the above studies, the present review and commentary examine whether HAFP, present in transient forms during pregnancy, constitutes a prime factor which could contribute to a reduced maternal breast cancer risk later in the mother’s life.
Survival and Predictive Factors of Lethality in Hemodyalisis: D/I Polymorphism of The Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme and of the Angiotensinogen M235T Genes
Authors: Alves Mauro
Published: December 2024

Background: End-stage kidney disease patients continue to have markedly increased cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. Analysis of genetic factors connected with the renin–angiotensin system that influences the survival of the patients with end-stage kidney disease supports the ongoing search for improved outcomes.

Objective: To assess survival and its association with the polymorphism of renin-angiotensin system genes: angiotensin I-converting enzyme insertion/deletion and angiotensinogen M235T in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods: Our study was designed to examine the role of renin-angiotensin system genes. It was an observational study. We analyzed 473 chronic hemodialysis patients in four dialysis units in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method and the differences between the curves were evaluated by Tarone–Ware, Peto-Prentice, and log rank tests. We also used logistic regression analysis and the multinomial model. A p value  0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. The local medical ethics committee gave their approval to this study.

Results: The mean age of patients was 45.8 years old. The overall survival rate was 48% at 11 years. The major causes of death were cardiovascular diseases (34%) and infections (15%). Logistic regression analysis found statistical significance for the following variables: age (p = 0.000038), TT angiotensinogen (p = 0.08261), and family income greater than five times the minimum wage (p = 0.03089), the latter being a protective factor.

Conclusions: The survival of hemodialysis patients is likely to be influenced by the TT of the angiotensinogen M235T gene. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2014; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0).
Respected Relativity by Thinking
Authors: Jana Prasenjit
Published: December 2024

To feel relativity, we need the help of thinking to respect one thing to another. We cannot feel relativity unless we respect one thing with another thing by our thinking. If there is no thinking then there is nothing but when thinking starts, we try to respect. If we can't respect, we can't understand relativity. If there is no change then we cannot relate and relativity stops but with the thinking we can respect that unchanged body with another unchanged body.
Hemorrhoids the Clinical Practice
Authors: Haider Rehan
Published: December 2024

Hemorrhoids, commonly referred to as piles, constitute an everyday medical condition characterized by swollen and inflamed vascular systems in the anal canal. This discomfort is a source of pain for numerous individuals worldwide, affecting their satisfaction with their lives. The etiology of hemorrhoids encompasses various factors, including improved intra-stomach stress, persistent constipation, extended sitting, and pregnancy. In addition to being frequently benign, hemorrhoids can cause signs and symptoms including rectal bleeding, anal itching, pain, and prolapse.

This summary explores the modern-day understanding of hemorrhoids, emphasizing their classification into internal and external types, based on their anatomical location and signs. Inner hemorrhoids originate above the dentate line and are typically painless. However, they can also cause bleeding and prolapse. Outside hemorrhoids located under the dentate line can be painful and thrombosed. Diagnostic approaches embody scientific record evaluation, bodily examination, and every so often anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to exclude more serious conditions.

The management of hemorrhoids consists of lifestyle modifications along with elevated dietary fiber consumption, hydration, and normal exercise to relieve constipation and decrease intra-abdominal stress. Topical treatments consisting of corticosteroids and over-the-counter ointments offer relief from signs and symptoms. For refractory cases, minimally invasive procedures such as rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, and infrared coagulation offer powerful solutions. Surgical interventions, such as hemorrhoidectomy, are reserved for severe instances or when other treatments are ineffective.

Coronavirus Verity
Authors: Bråten Eldar
Published: December 2024

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most dramatic events in recent history. In the course of a few months, tiny coronaviruses managed to draw virtually the entire globe’s population into a common reference point. In this article, I question whether predominant anthropological perspectives, especially those that critique dualism, are capable of accounting for viruses’ reality – their unquestionable existence and efficacy. Claiming that anti-dualist approaches tend to result in forms of epistemological monism that shroud ontic verities, I argue for a refurbished realist dualism that fully recognises the viruses’ mind-independent character. I suggest, moreover, that a mind/ world binary rooted in the ontological distinction between transitive and intransitive realities could inform anthropological analyses beyond the pandemic.

Résumé: a pandémie COVID-19 est parmi les événements les plus dramatiques de l’histoire récente. En quelques mois, les petits coronavirus ont réussi à rassembler la population du monde entier autour d’un point commun. Dans cet article nous nous posons la question suivante : les perspectives anthropologiques prédominantes, et surtout celles qui critiquent le dualisme, sont-elles capables d’expliquer la réalité, l’efficacité et l’existence incontestable des virus En affirmons que les approches anti-dualistes nous amènent souvent vers des formes de monisme épistémologique, qui cachent des vérités ontiques, nous promouvons un dualisme réaliste et rénové qui admet pleinement le caractère indépendant-esprit du virus. De plus, nous suggérons que le binaire esprit/monde ancré dans la distinction ontologique entre des réalités transitives et intransitives pourraient guider les analyses anthropologiques au-delà de la pandémie.

Analisis Keanekaragaman dan Kelimpahan Plankton di Sungai Way Awi dan Hubungannya dengan Kualitas Air
Authors: Pertiwi Tina , Tugiyono Tugiyono , Nugroho Susanto Gregorius
Published: December 2024

Plankton serves as a bioindicator that can be used as a marker for water quality related to water saprobity index. Way Awi River is a river flowing from the Susunan Baru area, passing through the Tandjungkarang region, and reaching the Garuntang area. Liquid waste from households is often directly discharged into the river, without passing through a containment system such as a septic tank, resulting in river pollution. To understand this relationship, this research was conducted to determine the biological condition of the Way Awi River based on plankton community structure, including abundance index, diversity index, evenness index, and dominance index, as well as its correlation with water quality using Pearson correlation test. The research was conducted in the Way Awi River with sampling taken at five different stations from October to December 2023. Water samples were analyzed using physical parameters including water temperature and turbidity, while chemical parameters observed were pH, DO, BOD, and COD. Based on the analysis of plankton community structure, it was found that the water of Way Awi River is in a moderately polluted condition.
Optimization of Palm Shell Drying to Enhance Adsorption Performance: A Kinetic Study and Exponential Model
Authors: Surya Hatina  , Dian Sari Dewi  , Alfina  , Sisnayati  , Dewi Putri Yuniarti  , Komala Ria
Published: December 2024

Palm shell has great potential as an adsorbent material due to its porosity and thermal stability, but its high moisture content can affect its surface area and absorption capacity. This study aims to optimize the drying process of palm shells to enhance their adsorption performance by applying an exponential model. The drying process was carried out at a temperature of 80°C with time variations ranging from 1 to 6 hours. Parameters measured included wet and dry moisture content, Moisture Ratio (MR), and drying rate. The results showed that drying the palm shell for 4 hours yielded the best results, with a reduction in wet moisture content by 19-21% and dry moisture content by 23-28%. The exponential model analysis provided drying rate constants for the three samples of 0.0443, 0.0238, and 0.0159, respectively. The measured MR graph compared with the model predictions showed a very good fit, with an R² value close to 1, meaning the exponential model is effective in predicting the drying rate. Adsorption performance was tested using a Dylon dye solution with a concentration of 25 ppm, where the palm shell was able to adsorb up to 85% of the dye within 180 minutes.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze and optimize the effect of Mg anode and sodium dichromate sacrificial protection on the corrosion rate of carbon steel in Musi River water media. The research involved carbon steel pipes (½ inch, 1 cm length) with an ID of 18.20 mm and OD of 18.80 mm. Four variables were tested: A (no corrosion prevention), B (Na2Cr2O7), C (Mg anode), and D (Na2Cr2O7 with Mg anode), each immersed in 150 ml of Musi River water for periods of 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 days. Results showed the highest pH drop in variation A, where the initial pH of 6.87 decreased to 4.13 after 60 days. Variation A also showed the greatest increase in Fe concentration, rising from 1.47 mg/L to 4.89 mg/L, and turbidity from 80.8 NTU to 88.3 NTU after 60 days. Corrosion rate analysis indicated that carbon steel without corrosion prevention had the highest corrosion rate, reaching 0.0000025746 mpy after 60 days. In comparison, carbon steel with Na2Cr2O7 and Mg anode protection exhibited significantly lower corrosion rates. These findings highlight carbon steel pipes without corrosion protection experience higher degradation in Musi River water, while sodium dichromate and Mg anode treatments effectively reduce corrosion.

Authors: Levitan M. A. , Antonova T. A. , Domaratskaya L. G. , Koltsova A. V. , Syromyatnikov K. V.
Published: December 2024

We have compared the arithmetic average chemical composition of main types of Pleistocene sediments in the Indian and Atlantic oceans, and average chemical composition of the Pleistocene in both oceans as well. As the base for comparison we have used data from International project of deep-sea drilling reports (phases DSDP, ODP, IODP) and other references. It was revealed that results of comparative analyses of meanweighted chemical composition have been determined by masses of dry sediment matter. Domination of Atlantic mass accumulation rates over the Indian Ocean ones was due to larger ratio of watershed areas to areas of basin accumulation, more significant role of humid climate and enhanced primary production.
Narrative Character of the Vocal Ballad in The Example Of Yuliy Meitus' "Three Were Shot"
Authors: Shara Oleksandra
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the research is to determine the specifics of narrative in a vocal work using the genre of the vocal ballad as an example. The research methodology is based on a combination of semantic and hermeneutic analysis and systemic, structural, functional, and comparative methods. The scientific novelty lies in the analysis of a vocal work that is narrative in nature in order to identify narrative manifestations. Conclusions. The article reviews the main narratological works and identifies the elements of the narrative text. The main characteristics of the ballad genre and its correspondence to the narrative are identified. The author analyses the literary and musical basis of the vocal ballad by Y. Meitus (words by V. Korotych), “Three were shot”, for the presence of narrative features on different levels. Attention is focused on the interplay of poetic and compositional interpretations of the main narrative elements of the ballad, as well as on the manifestations of narrativity in purely musical terms. The characteristics of narrativity at the level of the form and structure of the vocal ballad are revealed, in particular the destruction of the vertical organisation of the verse in favour of the linearity of the narrative plot and the asymmetry of the form. The presence of the narrator and the formation of his personality by the author-poet and author-composer are established. The opinion of the narrator and his influence on the presentation of events and their perception by the narrators are indicated. It is emphasised that the combination of literary and musical techniques creates the effect of the narrator’s distance and proximity to the events described. The role of tonalities that support literary characters and also come into conflict in purely musical terms, thus creating their own storyline, is determined. It is emphasised that each piece of music has its own unique way of revealing a narrative. In this respect, the need for further research on this topic in other vocal and instrumental genres is demonstrated.

Phospholipids in Cottonseed Oil and Degumming Methods
Authors: Zufarov O. , Serkayev K.
Published: December 2024

Phospholipids are categorized into two types: hydratable phospholipids and non-hydratable phospholipids. This study examines the hydratable and non-hydratable phospholipids in cottonseed oil, as well as the types of degumming and their impact on the content of phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium. During water degumming, hydratable phospholipids are removed, but non-hydratable phospholipids remain. Water-hydratable phospholipids constitute 78-83% of the total phospholipids in cottonseed oil. However, water degumming does not sufficiently reduce the cottonseed oil’s phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium content. Acid degumming reduced the phosphorus content by 17.1 mg.kg-1, calcium by 11.1 mg.kg-1, and magnesium by 14.2 mg.kg-1. The total degumming process significantly reduced the levels of accompanying substances in cottonseed oil. After the total degumming process, the phosphorus content was less than 12.4 mg.kg-1, calcium was 7.4 mg.kg-1, and magnesium was reduced to 1.1 mg.kg-1.
Predicting Willow Planting Events by Conventional Machine Learning from GPS Data: Accuracy, Generalization Ability, and Potential for Improvement
Authors: Borz S.A. , Proto A.R.
Published: December 2024

Willow cultivation is an important activity that can provide greater amounts of cleaner and renewable energy. To support the development of this farming sector, data is required on the spatial distribution of planted plots, as well as on the performance of operations typically required in willow crop management. Unfortunately, this kind of data is largely unavailable, while documenting it is a challenging task. GPS data, which may be feasibly collected during operations, may be a good carrier of information not only to document the spatial location of plots, but also to learn about the frequency of typical events as specific to willow operational management. Based on a GPS dataset characterizing two plots, which was collected during planting operations and labelled manually (8,385 observations), a neural network was used in this study to spatially classify events such as driving (hereafter called D), maneuvering (hereafter called M), planting (hereafter called P), and being stopped (hereafter called S). Three models were trained and validated based on features such as GPS speed (hereafter called model S), GPS speed and leg length (hereafter called model S&L), and GPS speed, leg length, and heading (hereafter called model S&L&H), respectively. Classification performance was found to be impressive, with an overall accuracy of 92.0 (S), 92.1 (S&L), and 93.3% (S&L&H), respectively. The quality of the models was then checked visually using a dataset containing unseen data characterizing two plots of different cardinal orientation, indicating an acceptable generalization ability. The methods described in the paper may be useful when dealing with large datasets and limited resources and expertise in labelling the data manually, as they provide location and event specific data with high accuracy. Improvements in accuracy are possible by integrating the raw data in deep learning, an approach that should be explored further.

Authors:   Alfred Nobel University, Kostromskyi Maksym V.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the conceptual foundations of organizational culture
of manufacturing enterprises in wartime.
The author generalizes approaches to the concept of “organizational culture” and presents
the author’s own definition, which is understood as an integrated system of values, norms and
behavioral models, which in wartime acts as an adaptive and protective mechanism, providing
the enterprise with the ability to quickly restructure and strengthening corporate solidarity
by enhancing the socio-psychological stability of the team; as a strategic tool, it ensures
cohesion and motivation of employees, activating their ability to dedication and support each
other, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The article highlights the peculiarities of
organizational culture in wartime, in particular: strategic direction; values that form a unique socio-psychological environment at an enterprise, thereby shaping its competitive advantages;
specific components - implicit (socio-psychological) and explicit (regulatory and image
elements).
The characteristics of modern models of organizational culture are identified: spiritual,
socio-psychological, and material. It is proved that the organizational culture of an enterprise
is formed under the influence of external and internal factors, and the factors from each group
are specified.
The functions of the organizational culture of enterprises are studied and the functions of
internal integration and functions of external adaptation are allocated. The functions of internal
integration include organizational, integrating, regulatory, substitution, adaptive, educational
and cognitive, motivating, communicative, quality management, and recreational. External
adaptation is ensured by the following functions: innovation, formation of a positive image,
customer orientation, management of partnership relations, and adaptation of the enterprise to
the needs of society.
The key aspects of the conceptual foundations of building the organizational culture of
production enterprises are defined: process orientation; hierarchical organizational structure;
physical work; safety and risks; innovation and adaptation; relationship with suppliers and
consumers.
New requirements for the formation of the organizational culture of enterprises during
the war period were considered. The experience of foreign countries regarding the formation of
organizational culture in conditions of war and constant armed conflicts, in particular Germany,
South Korea, and Israel, is studied. It is proposed to introduce as elements of organizational
culture specific for production enterprises under conditions of war, including: adaptability to
risks and crises, support for safety and protection of personnel, patriotic aspect and values of
sustainability, as well as humanitarian and social responsibility.

The sewage sludge formed at wastewater treatment plants constitutes a small percentage of the volume of treated wastewater. However, the costs associated with sludge treatment and disposal account for the lion's share of the operational expenses of wastewater treatment plants. The sludge contains harmful and toxic substances. On the other hand, sludge is a source of carbon, nutrients, and trace elements, meaning it can be effectively utilized. An important stage in sludge disposal is its dewatering, particularly with the use of electric current. The study investigated the electro-dewatering of activated sludge with a moisture content of 98% from secondary clarifiers at the Ternopil wastewater treatment plant using direct electric current. Experiments were conducted on a laboratory setup with a U-shaped glass tube and carbon rod anode and cathode. The effect of the electric field was observed during the fading period, when, after a significant amount of water had been separated from the sludge, the electro-dewatering process slowed down. The obtained results were compared with those from the electro-dewatering of activated sludge with a moisture content of 98% from secondary clarifiers at the Ternopil wastewater treatment plant on a setup with a graphite rod anode and a flat cathode, as reported by other researchers. Electro-dewatering of activated sludge on both setups produced practically the same effect. It was confirmed that sludge dewatering using direct electric current can be applied on sludge drying beds at wastewater treatment plants.

Published: December 2024

The prospective of increasing of environmental safety level for industrial enterprises as a result of the implementation of new complex wastewater treatment technology are considered. An analysis of literary sources was carried out regarding the effectiveness of the existing methods of wastewater treatment that contain compounds of heavy metals. The efficiency of iron ion extraction was investigated by processing of steel pickling solutions using the ferritization with various activation methods of the reaction mixture. X-ray phase analysis of the obtained ferritization sediments confirmed the presence of highly dispersed ferromagnetic phases of iron oxides and oxyhydroxides. The sorption capacity of magnetite sediment obtained by ferritization on the efficiency of zinc ion extraction from the wastewater of the galvanic line was studied. The influence of pH value and ultrasound on sorption treatment of washing wastewater by magnetite sediment was determined. When using ultrasound for sorbent treatment and raising the pH to 10, the residual concentration of zinc ions in the washing wastewater decreases to 0.31 mg/dm3, the degree of purification is 98.9%. Such water meets the standards for its use in the operations of washing parts at electroplating facilities or discharge into the city's central sewage system. The prospects for the utilization of spent sorbents in powder paint and varnish materials as a result of the inclusion in their composition of ferritization products obtained from electroplating waste are considered. The use of ferromagnetic waste from sorption treatment improves the corrosion resistance of the resulting coatings compared to traditional ones. The implementation of research results at enterprises will prevent environmental pollution by toxic substances, change outdated production technologies and obtain from production waste materials for corrosion protection of metal construction.

Authors: Mishchuk Yevhen
Published: December 2024

Reducing energy consumption has become one of the main directions of research in the field of machines for the production of building materials. Solving the problem related to the determination of energy costs is a difficult task, since these costs depend on many factors that change during the operation of the machine and are difficult to accurately describe. The development of energy-efficient crushing machines is one of the areas of improvement of construction materials production technologies. In connection with the needs of reworking old buildings in the conditions of dense urban development, mounted working bodies are becoming widespread. One of such attached working bodies is a crushing bucket. On the basis of the analysis of the latest researches, the prospects of hinged crushing buckets have been established. The paper examines the main constructions of crushing buckets produced by the industry. Criterion assessment of the main parameters of crushing buckets was carried out, based on which promising models for further research were established. The 3d model of the crushing bucket and the equation of motion for determining the main parameters are presented.
THERMAL REGIME OF THE TERRITORY OF THE COURTYARD OF A SECTIONAL RESIDENTIAL BUILDING DEPENDING ON ITS ORIENTATION
Authors: Svyatogorov Ilya
Published: December 2024

As average annual temperatures rise, residents of urban areas face the problem of significant heating of urban surfaces exposed to direct solar radiation. This process has a direct impact on the microclimate of both the entire urban area and individual adjacent territories. Shading of surfaces plays an important role in the thermoregulation of the living environment, which is confirmed by numerous studies on this topic. The introduction of natural methods to reduce the temperature regime is becoming relevant in terms of reducing heat stress and overall energy savings. In this paper, using the example of a sectional residential building of a U-shaped configuration with nine floors, we study the dependence of the percentage of shading and the amount of direct solar radiation entering the courtyard on its orientation to the cardinal points. The calculation was performed for a clear day on July 21, when the average monthly temperature was 24.6 °C according to the Boris Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory. The calculation excluded the influence of surrounding buildings and green spaces. The amount of direct solar radiation per square meter of surface was calculated using the specialized Townscope program. Based on the results obtained, graphs of the total amount of direct solar radiation on the surface during the calculated period from 6:00 to 18:00 for different orientations of the courtyard space were built. The percentage of shading of the total area of the design surfaces was also calculated. Summary data tables were created for each design surface. The final results are of a recommendatory nature for design organizations in determining the optimal planning solution at the pre-design stage. Such an environmentally friendly approach, which is the basis of design work, can improve living conditions in urban settlements, reduce the negative impact on the environment, and make cities more resilient to climate change.

Authors: Bevelacqua Joseph
Published: December 2024

A first-order pentaquark model is utilized to model the(2080) 3_/_2¯ and N(2270) 3_/_2¯ states. The N(2080) 3_/_2¯ and N(2270) 3_/_2¯ states are modeled as K*+ Σ0 and K*0 Σ+ pentaquarks, respectively. These possible pentaquark states are described as weakly bound meson plus baryon molecular states. The model predicts a set of spin and parity values that includes the experimental 3_/_2¯ value. The predicted mass values are within 8% of the experimental values.
Enhanced Channel Estimation for Double RIS-Aided MIMO Systems Using Coupled Tensor Decompositions

Published: December 2024

In this paper, we consider a double-RIS (D-RIS)-aided flat-fading MIMO system and propose an interference-free channel training and estimation protocol, where the two single-reflection links and the one double-reflection link are estimated separately. Specifically, by using the proposed training protocol, the signal measurements of a particular reflection link can be extracted interference-free from the measurements of the superposition of the three links. We show that some channels are associated with two different components of the received signal. Exploiting the common channels involved in the single and double reflection links while recasting the received signals as tensors, we formulate the coupled tensor-based least square Khatri-Rao factorization (C-KRAFT) algorithm which is a closed-form solution and an enhanced iterative solution with less restrictions on the identifiability constraints, the coupled-alternating least square (C-ALS) algorithm. The C-KRAFT and C-ALS based channel estimation schemes are used to obtain the channel matrices in both single and double reflection links. We show that the proposed coupled tensor decomposition-based channel estimation schemes offer more accurate channel estimates under less restrictive identifiability constraints compared to competing channel estimation methods. Simulation results are provided showing the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
