The design and devlopment of a low-cost high flow nasal oxygen device a functional analysis
Authors:   University of Cape Town, Reabow Brandon , Sivarasu Sudesh ,   University of Cape Town
Published: July 2022

High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) medical devices are utilised to non-invasively oxygenate Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with mechanisms of clinical benefit. Most recently, HFNO has proven to be effective against hypoxemic symptoms by providing a range of oxygen concentration levels (FiO2) and aims to improve patient compliance and comfort with heating and humidification of inspiratory gases. HFNO has been shown in studies to be feasible in resource-constrained settings, relying on an affordable solution to drive an increased number of supplied devices to healthcare facilities to effectively treat patients independently of intensive care units (ICU). Therefore, a Proof of Concept was developed under an iterative design approach. A full cost summary of materials was R8 100, compared to at least R45 000 for current South African market competitors. Additionally, the solution was functionally tested to determine levels of verification in technical specifications and validation in addressing clinician and patient needs. The solution achieved associated 10 - 60 l/min flow rates; stable FiO2 from 50 - 100% (with a minimum of 40%); and inspiratory gas temperatures and humidity of up to 40 oC and 90% relative humidity (RH). Further design and development need to be conducted to output a high-performing and safe medical device as guided by ISO 80601-2-90.

Published: July 2022

Due to the overburden on healthcare resources, there is a need to invest in Internet of Things (IoT) based telemonitoring devices that can remotely monitor and diagnose patients without constant supervision by health practitioners. Current commercial and research initiatives in this area fail to create a comprehensive IoT-based system with deficits in the sensing layer and model consumption phase being an underlying concern. This gap was closed through the development of an IoT-based system consisting of a multi-faceted wireless body access network (WBAN), cloud integration and two application layers (mobile and web-based). Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking on the patient's phone was used to allow doctors to track and dispense ambulatory services in cases of emergencies. Overall, the developed system was able to possess around 15 of the features common in most wearable health device systems at a reduced cost, thereby successfully achieving the desired outcomes of this research.
Lateral Thinking in the Process of Logistics Students’ Education Using the Example of the EOQ Model
Authors:   Military University of Technology (Poland), Ślaski Paweł , Grzelak Małgorzata ,   Military University of Technology (Poland)
Published: July 2022

This paper explores the possibility of using lateral thinking to enhance student learning in higher education. Teams of students formed during classes using the „six think- ing hats” method, a concept developed by (de Bono, 1985), analyse a problem posed by the lecturer. This problem involves solving a commonly used economic rule considered in a deterministic environment, the so-called economic order quantity (EOQ) model. Students divided into research teams first solve the problem classically, using elements of differential calculus. In the next stage, they solve the problem using process analysis, re-engineering principles, and a computer application. The most important feature of this stage is the analysis of the problem, so to speak, from the end, i.e., from the definition of the goal, which is to determine the optimal order size of goods in the supply chain at minimum cost. The six thinking hats method is extremely helpful at this stage. The key benefits for students using this type of teaching are related to verifying previous thinking in solving the problem and adopting a creative approach to solving the task. Empirical studies confirm that this type of teaching increases the attractiveness of the class and the satisfaction of acquiring creative thinking skills and provides the satisfaction of solving a complex research problem in a team. Student surveys with a small sample (<30 students) confirmed those benefits. According to the compiled statistics, about 60% of the respondents believe that teamwork reduces the time needed to complete the task, while about 70% of students believe that teamwork teaches creative thinking, and the presented way of solving the problem can be used in practical activities of business entities. The current world situation and pandemic threats cause the suspension of classes for students. The method developed allows for distance learning, known as e-learning. Students form groups and connect via Skype. Using an online platform, they share lessons developed through the use of a thinking hat. The Excel spreadsheet used in the method allows solutions to be communicated online, making it easier for students to communicate at a distance. The developed method does not require complex e-learning applications and platforms. Students work at home using their private computer equipment and make the right decisions without much effort. With the threat of viral infection, it is crucial to focus on interesting activities without having to interact with the outside world.
Indo–French Defence Cooperation in the Light of Regional Security Balance in South Asia
Authors:   Jawaharlal Nehru University (India), Bharti Mukesh Shankar
Published: July 2022

The article aims to describe the regional security challenges to India in South Asia. Since the partition of India in 1947, the country has continuously been under external threat as a form of proxy warfare and terrorism. For this purpose, the article highlighted the core hotspots where India has major border issues with China in the Himalayan terrain. India has been facing a bigger security challenge from China and Pakistan in the South Asia region. This article analyses the defence ties between India and France in the context of security. India's neorealist approaches expand its strategic partnership in global politics. Therefore, India has been getting strategic support from the French side whenever India seeks support in a critical situation. The article uses the methods of case study and discourse analysis to answer the question and find out the study's relevance. As a result of severe security threats, India had to negotiate the purchase of defence equipment from France. India had to buy Rafael fighter jet, submarine and other heavy military weapons. Indo-French relations are stronger than in the past and will develop as friendly relations in the future.
The Europeanisation of the Local Self-Government in the South Caucasus
Authors:   Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University (Poland), Czachor Rafał
Published: July 2022

The following paper employs a normative approach and focuses on the problem of the current state of the local self-government in the South Caucasus countries: Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Since all these countries are members of the Council of Europe, a reference point for decentralisation is the European Charter of Local Self-Government. The paper's main thesis is that despite showing some similarities, the countries have introduced different models of decentralisation that do not fully meet the Council of Europe’s criteria. Such variation is in line with the different political systems of these states and their level of democratisation. The more democratic the state is, the stronger the decentralisation it has adopted. Thus, decentralisation in Georgia follows the European model of public policy, while Azerbaijan is preserving the former Soviet model of weak self-government, with central authorities playing the leading role in public services. The current changes in Armenia’s model resemble the Georgian track of reforms. The findings of this paper may be applicable both in further theoretical research and in implementing reforms of local self-government in various post-Soviet states.
Hydrogen and Its Role in Post-Pandemic Recovery. Case Study of Portugal
Authors:   University of Warsaw (Poland), Giers Maciej
Published: July 2022

The article aims to analyse the potential role that hydrogen could play in the post-pandemic recovery of Portugal and its climate policy. The article focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating new workplaces. The basis for analysis is the Portuguese hydrogen strategy, published in May 2020 and other strategic documents. In the first part of the article, climate goals adopted by the European Union and Portugal are described and analysed. Then the hydrogen strategy of Portugal was analysed from the perspective of hydrogen contribution to the emission reduction by 2030. The article describes the role of hydrogen in the Portuguese economy, paying particular attention to the 2020–2030 horizon, but also covers a period till 2040. The second part analyses the impact of COVID-19 on the Portuguese economy. Based on the International Energy Agency’s estimates, the potential for creating new workplaces is described.
The Role of Think Tanks in Actions for Defence Diplomacy. An Example of Poland
Authors:   Pedagogical University of Krakow (Poland), Olszyk Sabina
Published: July 2022

With the end of the 20th century, there was a change in the nature and methods of using military force in international politics. It led to the need to develop new cooperation methods between states and reorient military diplomacy into defence diplomacy. In the new reality, the group of entities influencing diplomatic activities has been expanded to include non-governmental entities, including think tanks. It raised questions about the role of expert centres in activities for defence diplomacy under Polish conditions, including shaping the international situation and shaping the state's defence policy. The following considerations are an attempt to answer this question. The analysis was based on the data obtained from a survey and information from the websites of fifteen Polish centres of expertise operating in international relations, political science, and security and defence.
The Legality of the Restrictions of the Civil and Political Rights in Poland During the First Wave of the Coronavirus Pandemic
Authors:   University of Warsaw (Poland), Utrata Anna
Published: July 2022

This article aims to answer the question about the legality of the selected measures implemented by the Polish government during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in constitutional rights and freedom restrictions. The study focuses on examining selected restrictions implemented in the spring of 2020 in the light of the Polish Constitution, especially in the light of Article 31 (3), which defines the premises of limitation of citizens’ rights and freedoms. It indicates the lack of legal basis and incompatibility with constitutional premises of many restrictions. The study further examines the premises of the introduction of the state of emergency, indicating that the government's decision not to impose such a state was legal and why. The study considers legal status from March 13 to May 16, 2020.
Stimulated microbial growth for permeability reductions in granular soils
Authors: Roth Mary J.S. , Caslake Laurie F. , DeJong Jason , Greer Jordan , Nelson Doug , Parales Rebecca
Published: July 2022

The controlled production of microbial growth has the potential to reduce groundwater flow in seepage and dewatering systems. Stimulating the growth of indigenous bacteria could clog the pore space and result in a substantial permeability reduction. This study investigated the spatial distribution of permeability reduction under different nutrient stimulation treatments of indigenous bacteria across 16 cm columns of Ottawa 50–70 sand. Spatially uniform permeability reductions of up to an order of magnitude were achieved using both a high glucose (50 mg/l) and a low glucose (10 mg/l) nutrient formulation. The overall permeability began to decrease by day 2 and approached a minimum permeability by day 14. There was no noticeable difference in the final permeability nor the rate of permeability reduction between high and low glucose formulations. Upscaling of experiments is highly recommended for future studies on the spatial uniformity of microbial growth and biologically induced permeability reductions.
A Qualitative Study on the Aural Rehabilitation Experiences of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing People
Authors:   RehabilitationInternational Korea, Lee Hyuna , Lee Junwoo
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study was to determine the experiences and main themes of rehabilitation recognized by deaf and hard-of-hearing people and analyzed the meaning of the experiences that appear in individuals, others, and daily life. Focus Group Interview were conducted with 12 participants (6 adolescences, and 6 adults). Paying attention to within-group variation, this study focused analyzing the aural rehabilitation process. 5 themes, 11 sub-themes, and 28 concepts were derived using thematic analysis. As a result of the theme group, five themes were derived: “Started rehabilitation with other’s decision,” “Facing deaf and hard-of-hearing with assistive devices,” “Walking through a dark tunnel called rehabilitation,” “Choose my own way to communicate with the world,” and “Be flexible in accepting and coping with rehabilitation,” and finally, the aural rehabilitation experience recognized by the deaf and hard-of-hearing parties was found to be “To face disability through involuntary rehabilitation process and to have voluntary will to accept and cope with rehabilitation in their own way.” Based on this, implications for rehabilitation methods and alternatives for the deaf and hard-of-hearing people and their families were derived.
The Impact of Subjective Cognitive Decline and Mild Cognitive Impairment on Word Association Task Performance
Authors:   RehabilitationInternational Korea, Kim JuHee , Kim JungWan
Published: July 2022

Associative ability can be used as the basic assessment data to clarify semantic knowledge preservation and processing speed by checking semantic networks. Especially due to the nature of Korean language, it takes a long time to build a semantic relation since there are a lot of semantically-overlapping words, particularly more in verbs and adjectives than nouns. And this difference depending on word classes could be a distinctive factor to identify cognitive function problems in the elderly. In this regard, this study aims to find out distinctive performance characteristics observed in the subject groups with subjective memory impairment and mild cognitive impairment, by designing multiple-choice word association tasks by word classes. As a result of the study, it was found that the performance of the mild cognitive impairment group had lower accuracy and reaction time than the normal group, and their error frequency by error types also showed significant difference. The subjective memory impairment group showed a significant increase in reaction time, compare to the normal group. To sum up, the quantity and/or quality of semantic knowledge processing could decline even at the stage of suffering from subjective cognitive problems, and particularly this problem could appear more obviously in the speed of semantic knowledge processing. Therefore, associative processing ability is anticipated to be used as a valuable data in future assessments to identify subjective and/or objective memory problems at an early stage.

Person and honorification: Features and interactions in Magahi
Authors: Alok Deepak , Baker Mark
Published: July 2022

The Magahi language is rich in honorification morphology: it has three versions of ‘you’ (nonhonorific, honorific, and high honorific) and makes honorific distinctions for third person nominals as well as second person nominals. This work uses these empirical riches to develop a formal syntactic theory of honorific marking. It argues that Magahi’s honorific distinctions can be decomposed into two binary features, [+/–HON] and [+/–HIGH]. These features are specified on an Hon head that is part of the extended projection of any nominal phrase in Magahi; from there they can be copied onto verbal functional heads by Agree. It goes on to argue that Hon heads in Magahi bear a first person designated index that specifies the individual with respect to which the social standing of the person referred to by the nominal inside HonP is evaluated. This first person index is used to account for the intricate ways in which honorific marking interacts with indexical shift in Magahi.
Osmanlı Devleti’nde Sürgün: Arvad Adası Örneği (18. Yüzyıl)
Authors: KOYUNCU Mustafa
Published: July 2022

Sürgün olgusu Osmanlı Devleti’nin kuruluş yıllarından itibaren önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Başlangıçta daha çok iskân amaçlı sürgünler gerçekleştirilirken daha sonraki yıllarda sürgün uygulamalarında cezalandırma amacı ön plana çıkmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti bu cezalandırma yöntemiyle kamu güvenliğini sağlamayı, iktisadi ve sosyal hayatı daha verimli bir hale getirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Sürgün yöntemi özellikle 18. yüzyıldan itibaren çok sık kullanılan bir ceza türü olarak göze çarpmaktadır. Devlet sürgünleri çeşitli adalara yapmaktaydı. Arvad Adası, Midilli, Limni ve Bozcaada bu sürgün bölgelerinden bazılarını oluşturmaktadır. Suçluların adalara sürgün edilmelerinin sebepleri arasında adaların etrafının dört tarafının denizlerle çevrili olması kaçış ihtimalini biraz daha azaltmaktadır. Çeşitli suçlardan dolayı Suriye’nin yerleşim yeri olarak kullanılan tek adası Arvad Adası’na sürgün edilen kişi veya kişiler kalebend ya da cezirebend gibi cezalara çarptırılıyordu. Osmanlı Devleti sürgün edilenlerin talep ve şikâyetlerini cezaya çarptırıldıkları andan itibaren dikkate almış bazen genel aflarla bazen de mazeretler üzerine çeşitli aflarla salıverilmelerine imkân tanımıştır.
The Relations Between the Ottoman State and the Armenian Patriarchate in the Process of the World War I
Authors: GÜLLÜ Ramazan Erhan
Published: July 2022

The Istanbul Armenian Patriarchate was the religious and political leadership authority of the Ottoman Armenians. In view of this status, the patriarchate was undoubtedly one of the important actors in the Armenian issue. Incidences during the process of the emergence and developments of the Armenian issue occasionally led to confrontations between the patriarchate and the state, and sometimes even with other powers of the Armenian population. The patriarchate, that acted as an intermediary authority for the two parties regarding both the state’s expectations and demands of the Armenian population, also served as a mediating and balance enforcing authority. In view of this, the patriarchate was confronted with many problems. Although the legal status of the patriarchate did not change with the Constitutional era, the political process during this period had a major impact on the patriarchate. This study will be examining the patriarchate’s expectations from the state and mutual relations since the beginning of the Constitutional era, and attempt to reveal the outcome of developments during the war on the state-patriarchate relations. In addition to patriarchate’s relations with the state before and during the war, the stance of the Etchmiadzin Catholicosate towards the patriarchate and the state’s expectations from the patriarchate will be among the main topics of this study.

“The battle trumpet blown!” : Whitman’s Persian Imitations in Drum Taps
Authors: Sedarat Roger
Published: July 2022

While Walt Whitman’s thematic use of the Orient continues to receive critical attention based on his explicit foreign references, aside from observations of specific Persian signifiers in “A Persian Lesson,” his engagement with the poetry of Iran has remained especially speculative and therefore analogical, with studies like J. R. LeMaster and Sabahat Jahan’s Walt Whitman and the Persian Poets showing how his mystical relation to his own religious influences tends to resemble the Sufism of Rumi and Hafez. A new discovery emerging from an examination of his personal copy of William Alger’s The Poetry of the East along with his reading of Emerson’s essay “Persian Poetry,” however, reveal a rather subtle yet sustained attempt to directly imitate the foreign verse throughout much of Drum-Taps. That his reliance upon identifiable foreign models to depict what he deemed his nation’s most significant historical moment further coincides with a dramatic shift in style of writing calls for closer comparative analysis of how and why he came to mimic translations of this poetry. Such a reading suggests that compared with previous Orientalist studies, Whitman appears even more personally invested in Persian verse, using it to surrender the distinct Romantic individuality of his earlier poems for the greater spiritual preservation of his conflicted nation.
An understanding of the on-site experiences and quality of life of residents in a tourist destination: A hermeneutic phenomenological approach to the participation experience in the campaign for “silence tourism”
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kim Sohye
Published: July 2022

In the field of tourism, quality of life has been measured and conceptualized in various ways. Empirical research has interchangeably applied the concept with subjective well-being and happiness, or the latter two concepts have been employed as constructs of quality of life. However, there has been little discussion of the appropriateness of such applications. Regarding the research trend, this study aimed to explore the relationship between the resident’s quality of life and tourism from the resident‘s perspective. Specifically, simultaneously considering subjective well-being and happiness, this research investigated how residents’ participation in the campaign for silence tourism at a tourist destination in Buk-chon appeared to be related to the quality of their lives. Several rounds of interviews were conducted with observations made at the destination for data collection. Results showed that, for all participants, life satisfaction and positive emotions were related to monetary compensation, elimination of boredom, interaction with others. Meanwhile, some of them found the meaning of their lives through the linkage between the campaign participation and their everyday lives and leisure activities. The complexity between quality of life and resident experience provides a clue for understanding inconsistent results in the extant literature on the quality of life of residents. Future research was discussed on this issue.
Development of quality measurement scales for home sharing lodging
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Chun Byung-Gil , Hur Seo-Young
Published: July 2022

This study has attempted to develop scales for measuring the quality of home-sharing lodging. Also, this study demonstrated the procedure of developing measurement scales. First, “Guest house for foreigners” appraisal items for Korea Tourism Quality Accreditation were used as the basis of the preliminary measurement scales. Second, basic articles in the field of service marketing, especially service quality theory, were reviewed. Authors have tried to apply lodging service quality research and home-sharing lodging literature to this work. Third, the authors have conducted a content analysis of customer reviews on the online accommodation reservation platform in order to develop a customer-oriented evaluation tool. Fourth, five steps of empirical efforts (item evaluation by discriminant group, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis) are conducted to ensure validity of the measurement scales. As a result, scales for measuring the quality of home sharing lodging, consisting of 20 items (3 dimensions: physical environment quality, outcome quality, and interaction quality), have been developed. These scales are distinguished from former lodging service quality scales in that process and outcome quality have been equally balanced. The implications of these results are discussed.
The impact of using sign language for animals and plants on deaf muteness’ satisfaction with ecotourism interpretation
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kim Nam-young , Choi Su-hyun , Jo He-Jin , Kim Song-yi
Published: July 2022

Research on ecotourism interpretation has been conducted by many researchers, but no specific research has been conducted on tourism activities and interpretation service constraints for deaf muteness. This study explores the influence of the utilization of sign language for animals and plants on the deaf muteness’ ecotourism interpretation satisfaction. Data was collected from 145 deaf mute people who participated in the ecotourism interpretation programs using sign language in five national parks, including Jirisan, Odaesan, Juwangsan, Dadohaehaesang, and Gyeongju. As a result of regression analysis, it was found that sign language satisfaction, interpretation content satisfaction, and delivery technology and service satisfaction have effects on interpretation satisfaction. In particular, sign language satisfaction has the greatest effect. This suggests that one of the most important services for deaf ecotourists is the provision of sign language. In order to consider ecotourism as universal welfare, it is necessary to consider the introduction of specific services for the disabled, such as the use of sign language for deaf mute people.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION OF S 4A OF THE WILLS ACT 7 OF 1953 WITH REGARD TO MUSLIMS MARRIED WITHIN THE SOUTH AFRICAN CONTEXT
Authors: Muneer Abduroaf
Published: July 2022

South African Muslims constitute a religious minority group who have been living in South Africa for almost four centuries. These persons are required in terms of their religion to ensure that their estates devolve in terms of Islamic law. One of the ways of doing this would be where a testator or testatrix drafts and executes a will stating that his or her estate must devolve in terms of the Islamic law of succession upon his or her demise and that an Islamic institution should draft an Islamic Distribution Certificate stating who his or her beneficiaries are in terms of Islamic law. This type of will could be referred to as an Islamic will. The said will must however conform to the provisions found in the Wills Act 7 of 1953 (Wills Act) in order to be deemed a valid will within the South African context. Section 4A of the Wills Act states that “[a]ny person who attests and signs a will as a witness … and the person who is the spouse of such person at the time of the execution of the will, shall be disqualified from receiving any benefit from that will.” This article looks at the application of s 4A of the Wills Act 7 of 1953 concerning Muslims married within the South African context. The scenario that is considered in this article is where Ahmad Guru (Ahmad) executes an Islamic will on 8 August 2019, with Yusuf Tuan (Yusuf) and Amina Guru (Amina) being the only witnesses thereof. Ahmad died on 9 September 2019 leaving behind a net estate of R900,000.00, a son, Omar Guru (Omar), and a daughter, Sara Guru (Sara), as his only relatives. The Islamic Distribution provides that Omar should inherit 2/3 of R900,000.00 = R600,000.00 and Sara should inherit 1/3 of R900,000.00 = R300,000.00. One of the witnesses of the Islamic will, Amina, is also the spouse of one of the beneficiaries, Omar, as provided in terms of the Islamic Distribution Certificate. This article looks at three instances of how section 4A of the Wills Act would impact the right of Omar to inherit the R600,000.00 (based on the Islamic Will and Islamic Distribution Certificate) in the event where he was, at the time of the execution of the will, (1) married to Amina in terms of Islamic law only; (2) married to Amina in terms of Islamic law as well as civil law; and (3) married to Amina in terms of civil law but divorced Amina in terms of Islamic law. The article concludes with an overall analysis of the findings and makes a recommendation as to the way forward.
Multisectoral partnerships to tackle complex health issues at the community level: lessons from a Healthy Communities Approach in rural Alberta, Canada
Authors: Chaisson Kristen , Gougeon Laura , Patterson Stephanie , Allen Scott Lisa K.
Published: July 2022

Setting

Health inequities exist in rural communities across Canada, as rural residents are more likely than their urban counterparts to experience injuries, chronic conditions, obesity, and shorter life expectancy. Cooperative and coordinated action across sectors is required to both understand and address these complex public health issues.

Intervention

The Alberta Healthy Communities Approach (AHCA) is based on the values and core building blocks of the Healthy Communities Approach, a framework centred on building community capacity to support community-led actions on the determinants of health. Adaptations within the AHCA focused on implementation mechanisms with a 5-step process and supporting implementation and assessment tools for multisectoral team building. Local measurement of change was enhanced and focused on community capacity and multisectoral action stages. Between 2016 and 2019, the AHCA was piloted with 15 rural communities across Alberta with population sizes ranging from 403 to 15,051 people.

Outcomes

While communities piloting the AHCA ranged in the level of diversity of their coalition membership and partnerships, members’ reflections demonstrate that intentional engagement with diverse citizens and sectors is pivotal to collaboratively identifying local assets and priorities and mobilizing cross-sectoral action that will sustainably improve supportive environments for cancer and chronic disease prevention.

Implications

Engaging across sectors, building partnerships, and establishing a multisectoral team increase diversity and can catalyze community-led prioritization and actions for asset-based community development. An increase in diversity may lead to increased investment and sustainability at the community level.

In this research, it is aimed to review the metacognition-themed articles, which have been conducted and published in Turkey on the topic of the mathematics education, within the scope of methodological features and in terms of the subjects/reached results. The research was designed with a descriptive content analysis method. 117 journals published in our country were determined and 41 articles were included in the research. The obtained data were subjected to a descriptive analysis. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that approximately half of the metacognitive-themed articles were conducted with a quantitative approach and descriptive methods. It was noticed that about half of the articles were conducted at the secondary school level, in the second place, that the university level took place with a one-fourth of rate. In terms of the data collection tools, it was found that mostly questionnaire/open-ended questionnaire/scale/tests were used, observation, interview, think-aloud protocol, and documents were applied; in terms of the data analysis techniques, the correlation, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way variance analysis, and regression analysis were used. It was reached that when sorted by frequency the correlational, leveling, metacognitive behaviours of the participants in the problem-solving processes were investigated, and experimental research were conducted.

The demand for electricity is growing due to industry development in the world. Thus, the issue to obtain energy using installations that use secondary energy resources is relevant. In this regard, it is important to carry out the research on the operation of such installations. There are many ways to study the operation of turbines as one of the types of installations that uses secondary energy resources. For this purpose, such visual environment as ANSYS allows you to get a visual 3D representation of the turbine operation. Thus, an urgent task is to develop a numerical determined turbine model in the ANSYS CFX package and then adapt it based on experimental data. The model based on numerical experiments can be used to find ways to increase the electricity output. The top-pressure recovery turbine GUBT-25 is chosen as the object of the research. During the research the professional analytical ANSYS CFX software has been used to solve thermal-, hydro-, and gas-dynamic problems. Also, such software module as BladeGen is applied to design a solid-state model and TurboGrid is to create a grid. ANSYS CFX software uses the following basic equations for the numerical solution of the gas expansion problem in a turbine: the energy equation, the momentum equation, and the continuity equation. For the first time a numerical determined model of the GUBT-25 turbine has been developed in the ANSYS CFX analytical software. Also, a preliminary verification of the model has been carried out based on the results of the industrial experiment conducted at the OJSC “Severstal” turbine. In addition, to demonstrate the capabilities of the model the article graphically presents such characteristics as distribution of temperature and velocity in the first stage of the turbine. The developed numerical model of the GUBT-25 turbine has series of restrictions that affect the simulation results. The results of comparing the data obtained during the simulation differ from the experimental data. In case the model is more complicated, it will be possible to simulate the real processes of GUBT-25 more accurately.
Assessment of dynamic patterns of energy consumption in region using fuzzy logic

Currently, energy efficiency indicators of regional infrastructure are presented as a rule in a quantitative form. However, decision makers need an assessment in a readable form to see the transition from a few quantitative values to a qualitative one that allows us in general to assess the dynamic patterns of energy consumption in the region. In this regard, the development of a method to assess the efficiency of energy consumption with linguistic recognition of the results obtained seems to be very relevant. The analysis is based on the retrospective values of indicators of the fuel and energy balances of the regions. The consolidated balance sheet includes about 500 indicator values for all used fuel and energy resources per year. To assess the multifactorial system under consideration, it is advisable to use the well-known matrix aggregation scheme, where the rows are the factors, and the columns are their qualitative levels. A standard five-level fuzzy 01-classifier is used as a scale for the transition from quantitative values of balance sheet indicators to qualitative values. A method is proposed to assess the dynamic pattern of energy consumption by means of linguistic recognition of a certain set of relative indicators of fuel and energy balances. Evaluation of the results in several regions using actual retrospective data has showed the relevance and reliability of the results obtained. At the same time, the results have been checked by methods of analysis and visualization of multidimensional data, as well as by experts. It has been established that the proposed approach to assess the efficiency of the use of fuel and energy resources can be used in the region policy of energy saving to improve the efficiency of decision-making.
The typology of anomie and social support and differences in suicidal ideation by type in youths

Published: July 2022

Despite the fact that suicide among young people is becoming a social problem, there are little empirical studies on the issue. In this study, latent profile analysis was used to classify current youth into latent profiles based on their level of anomie and social support, and logistic regression analysis was used to look at the differences in suicidal ideation between groups.‘High anomie/low support’(10.7%) was classed as having high anomie items and low social support components, ‘Moderate Anomie/support’(61.5%) was identified as having similarly moderate level of anomie and social support, and ‘Low Anomie/high Support’(27.8%) was categorised as having low anomie and high social support. The ‘High anomie/low support’ group had statistically higher suicidal ideation than the reference group, the ‘Low anomie/high support’ group. Based on the findings, suggestions were made on the need for social structural change and and the formation of social networks of the youths.

The balance between the efficiency of lens’ destruction and the safety of this process for intraocular structures is the most important aspect in the search for alternative energy approaches in cataract surgery. The article provides a literature review summarizing modern medical and technical solutions aimed at developing new and effective methods of cataract phacoemulsification. One of the main components of cataract surgery is the balance between the effectiveness of ultrasound destruction of the lens and the safety of this process for intraocular structures. Most of the available technical solutions designed to replace ultrasound do not yet allow this to be fully implemented, since they have insufficient destructive power or are technologically complex and expensive, which makes it difficult for their mass introduction into widespread practice. In this regard, it is urgent to search for alternative energy approaches aimed at increasing the efficiency of destruction without increasing the negative effects associated with an increase in ultrasound dose.

Objectives: To obtain information on the frequency of using preloaded IOL delivery system, the time of the IOL implantation procedure, the convenience of using various preloaded systems, the incidence of complications and the overall level of satisfaction during the work by ophthalmologists during a survey of experts.

Methods. A survey was conducted among 14 Russian experts from different regions who already have practical experience with the following preloaded IOL implantation systems: RayOne® Aspheric (RAO600C), iSert® (250/251), iTec (Tecnis®1) and AutonoMe™ (Clareon®). The evaluation was carried out on a 10-point scale for parameters related to IOL implantation safety when using preloaded systems, convenience and intuitive operation, the level of control over the IOL implantation process, and the overall total time required to complete the entire IOL implantation procedure.

Results. Among all the parameters, the experts gave the highest safety rating of the IOL implantation when using preloaded systems; in general, quite high scores were also assigned to the other parameters, reflecting satisfaction with the work by the experts. In a comparative analysis of the parameters of IOL implantation safety, convenience and intuitive operation, the level of control over the IOL implantation process, as well as the total time required for the entire IOL implantation procedure, depending on the type of preloaded systems, significant differences were obtained (p = 0.012, p = 0.001, p = 0.003, p = 0.014, p = 0.004, respectively). Frow the 4 analyzed system types, AutonoMe™ (Clareon®) achieved the highest scores across all dimensions (10.0, 9.0, 10.0, 9.0 and 9.5, respectively).

Conclusion. This experts’ survey is the first Russian experience of evaluating the real practice of working with different types of preloaded systems for implanting IOLs. The survey indicated that the greatest application experience currently exists with the preloaded AutonoMe™ (Clareon®) system, which scored higher across all analyzed parameters when compared to systems from other manufacturers.
