Maintaining the mine workings will also require significant costs to repair them both before and after they are introduced into production, especially in the zone of influence of the mining operations. Maintaining and increasing the volume of underground coal mining is only possible with a highly efficient technology for conducting and maintaining preparatory workings. The purpose of the study was to assess the parameters for controlling the stability of the contours of mine workings secured by anchor support to create a technology for intensive and safe conduct of mine workings based on the identified patterns of behavior of the adjacent rock masses. The idea of the approach is to use the anthropogenic stress-strain state to develop an effective technology for securing the contour rock massif. The mechanism of rock deformation, shear and collapse in a structurally disturbed heterogeneous rock massif is studied to assess the state of the rock massif around mine workings. Technological prerequisites for anchoring the marginal soil rocks, taking into account the state of the rock mass around the excavation, are developed and the parameters of anchor support operation in mines to secure the rods in excavations to ensure the safety of mining operations are determined.

The results of the authors' research on the development of the stability of loess soils are presented. The internal and external factors that directly affect the stability of the oscillating slope are given. As an internal factor, the strength and deformation parameters of the soil in the body of the slope are considered, depending on the type of soil, its granulometric and mineralogical compositions, the state of density-humidity, etc. The violations of the stability of loess soils and their transition to a state of liquefaction under strong seismic influences have been studied. The research was carried out on the basis of the physico-mechanical theory of the dynamic violation of the structure of cohesive soils. The results of experiments on the study of changes in the resistance to soil shear in conditions of intense vibration are presented. Formulas are given for determining the values of dynamic pressure and soil connectivity during prolonged exposure to dynamic load.

The the results of scientific and experimental work are described, the purpose of which was to determine the depth of thawing of seasonally frozen soils using the lime extinguishing reaction as a source of heat. The analysis of meteorological, agrometeorological conditions typical for Uralsk was carried out. The method, which provides an opportunity to use the heat released in the interaction of calcium oxide with water, was developed. To implement this method, a heat-insulating structure is designed and manufactured, which allows to accumulate and direct the accumulated heat through the heating system «from top to bottom». It was found that the use of the described method makes it possible to achieve a thawing depth of the soil up to 56 cm. At the time of scientific-experimental work, this thawing depth indicator exceeded the actual depth of soil freezing

The aim of the study is to simulate dynamic processes during dynamic testing of soils by piles, as a result of which a vibration effect occurs on the surrounding soil mass, as well as to compare the results obtained with field tests. Dynamic tests carried out at the construction site of the «Northern Lights» residential complex, as well as hydrogeological conditions of the construction site under study, were taken as the initial conditions of the simulation. Numerical modeling makes it possible to carry out theoretical studies that are not always practical, and sometimes simply impossible. The basic concept of the finite element methods (FEM) is that the desired continuous value, the displacement of points of a deformed body, is approximated by a piecewise set of functions defined over bounded finite elements. The article presents the results of vertical movements of the pile, in which the increment of the pile sediment decreases with each impact, which is typical for piles resting in sandy soils. The results of comparisons of failures of the obtained FEM and dynamic tests of five piles showed a close relationship with the average deviation of the values of failures of the obtained FEM by 22% from dynamic tests.

A mathematical model for analyzing the parameters of the technical condition of construction objects is developed, on the basis of which, taking into account the wear and tear of damages and defects, the reliability (safety) of the load-bearing structures examined in the process of monitoring was assessed by categories of their serviceability (serviceable, limited serviceable, pre-disaster). On the basis of the calculated initial probabilities of failure-free operation (FRO) at each of the three stages of the technical state on the basis of graph theory the matrices of transient probabilities at different terms of operation of buildings are calculated. This, in turn, allows us to calculate the corresponding reliability indicators: wear rate, mean time to first failure, etc. Based on the processing of statistical data of floor slab inspection, a graph of the dependence of the FRO on the building operation time was obtained, on the basis of which the forecast of the service life (resource) of the studied structures was realized

In order to increase the efficiency of crushing and grinding processes, technological and technical-economic characteristics of roller crushers, numerous scientific research works are carried out to substantiate the modernization of the main workers organs of crushing machines, innovative materials and methods of hardening the surfaces of the main working organs are used. The article provides a rationale for the operational characteristics of a new roller crusher with cycloidal movements and determines its design geometric parameters. The complex cycloidal movement of the rolls ensures the lowest possible energy intensity of the crushing process. The working body of the crusher uses the properties of mutually bending cycloidal curves and bodies of constant width, which made it possible to significantly reduce the weight and dimensions of the machine. The planetary-rotor motion of cycloidal-shaped rolls and their design features make it possible to reduce the minimum gap between the rolls, and the width of the unloading gap remains constant, which ensures the maximum size of the finished crushing product and the yield of cube-shaped crushed stone

The aim of study is to present a method and tools for analyzing forces in the mathematical model of a scissor lift. The object of the study is the HeshbonLift51G scissor lift. A mathematical model of the scissor lift is developed to determine the restraining force, deformations, and stresses. Graphs depicting the relationship between the equivalent moment and rotational speed with respect to the angle are identified. The maximum rotation angle reaches 70° when the reaction force becomes maximum in the supporting link. MATLAB and ANSYS programs were used to analyze the lift and its key parameters. The results of the static analysis show that with a uniform increase in load of 400N, the equivalent maximum stress increases by 3.1162 MPa, and the equivalent mean stress increases by 0.06 MPa. This indicates an increase in stresses in the lift components with an increase in load, potentially affecting the strength and durability of the system

Unworking
Authors: Illner Peer
Published: May 2024

Désœuvrement, variously translated as unworking or inoperativity is a notion that haunts contemporary political theory and practice. Unworking overturns the typical valuation of work and action and opens an avenue to think radical passivity and inactivity as aesthetic and political practices that question the modernist mantra of purposeful production and ceaseless activity. At its most basic, unworking is the critique of work in all its variations: Not only wage labour, as Marxism would have it, but also the work of art, the work of community-building, and even psychoanalysis imagined as ‘working through’. This collection of essays is dedicated to unworking in its various political, aesthetic and philosophical guises – exploring its potentiality as well as its dead ends and dangers. It unites a range of contemporary thinkers that embrace negation, negativity and withdrawal as political strategies, turning unworking into a “paradigm of the coming politics.” (Giorgio Agamben)
Preliminary Study on the Utilized Pebbles in the Paleolithic
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Kim Kyungjin , Seo Insun
Published: May 2024

Paleolithic people made and used tools from a variety of materials, including stone, bone, antler, and wood. In particular, based on stone tools found in Paleolithic sites, many researchers have made an effort to reveal the function of the site and the life and culture of the people.
It has found not only cores, flakes, retouched tools, but also pebbles that were not retouched but had traces by use in Paleolithic sites. Although utilized pebbles have been continuously used in the Paleolithic, they have not been treated much as a subject of research. So we will try to understand various functions of utilized pebbles through use-wear analysis, experiments, and ethnographic research.
There are many different types of utilized pebbles in Paleolithic sites, but they can be largely categorized as hammer stones, anvil stones, pitted stones, and ground stones. Hammer stones can be used alone or in combination with other tools. It is generally assumed that they were used to make stone tools, but they were used for a variety of purposes. Anvil stones were used alone as hammer stones for knapping big stones, or such as bipolar debitage in combination with hammer stones, or to crack bones or hard fruits. Pitted stones have the function of both a hammer and an anvil. Depending on the size and depth of the pits formed on the pebble, it can be assumed that it was used for various functions, such as making stone tools and breaking hard fruits, nuts. Ground stones have grinding or stripe traces on the surface, and it is likely that they were used to work with leather, bone, and antler.
Utilized Pebbles had been used as tools by people for a long time since the Paleolithic and reflected the technology, activities, and culture of the people at that time. Various types of utilized pebbles, including hammer and anvil stones, have been identified in Paleolithic sites on the Korean Peninsula. If studies on the utilized pebbles are accumulated, it is expected that we have dynamic interpretations related to the technological and economic activities of Paleolithic people.
The Way of Preventing Scientific Advisory Corruption
Authors:   Korean Association For Corruption Studies, Yang Chun Soo
Published: May 2024

Today, a state intervenes in various areas of society. Accordingly, the tasks that a state must be responsible for are increasing, and in line with this, the scope of policies and administration that a state must carry out also is expanding. Meanwhile, as the specialty and complexity of a society itself regulated by a state are increasing, the expertise and complexity of the policies or public administration that a state is responsible for must also improve in line with this. To this end, the involvement of academics, including science, in national policies and administration is also increasing. As the Korean case of Covid-19 shows, this can achieve significant results. However, this sometimes fails. This article defines the failures caused by scientific advisory as scientific advisory corruption. At the same time, this article deals with the topics of how to prevent such scientific advisory corruption, and what kind of relationship should be formed between policy, administration, and science to achieve this. This article emphasizes the following: The responsibility for the results produced by the public administration must be took by the administration itself, even in the case of scientific advisory. The public administration must avoid passing its responsibilities onto the scientific system. Conversely, the scientific system must resist the temptation to engage in administrative power through scientific advisory. There is a need to prevent the scientific system from falling into the problem of trying to exceed the functional role assigned to itself, that is, functional corruption. In this process, law will play an important role.
Global supply chain reorganization and North Korea sanctions compliance
Authors:   Korean Association For Corruption Studies, Jung Dae Jin , Cho Kun Shik
Published: May 2024

Is North Korea an exception to our economic security targets? Reorganizing the global supply chain is a global issue that no country can avoid, and it is also a significant challenge for North Korea. Normally, North Korea has a closed and isolated economic structure, so it can be considered an exception to global economic issues. However, although the trade volume is minimal and the country is highly dependent on China, North Korea also engages in trade and its foreign trade has been on the rise after the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, if the influx of luxury goods prohibited by sanctions against North Korea occurs through laundering in overseas markets, no states guarantee that it may free from involving an unintentional violation of sanctions.
When doing business with a country that is conducting trade with North Korea, great care must be taken to ensure that the goods are not ultimately transferred to North Korea. In particular, China accounts for 19.7% of Korea's trade volume and maintains its status as Korea's No. 1 trading partner, and North Korea shows a 96.7% trade dependence on China, so no one can secure the in-case possibility of unintentional transferring South Korea’s product to North Korea does not happen. Sincere care must be taken not to become involved in destination issues. In addition, although the amount is small, advance preparation and inspection are required to avoid involvement in unsavory secondary sanctions related to North Korea, which is expanding trade with Vietnam, Argentina, Nigeria, Netherlands, Ethiopia, India, Bangladesh, Spain, and Hong Kong in addition to China. To prevent any emergency from occurring, sanctions compliance education and programs must be strengthened and understanding further improved.
A Study on Empowering Leadership, Safety Culture, Safety Behavior and Organizational Trust for ESG Management in the Distribution Industry
Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Kim Na Kyoung
Published: May 2024

ESG management, which considers non-financial elements of companies, is the current emphasis of corporate management. To sustain development in the shifting business landscape, the distribution industry is exploring digital transformation(DX) initiatives like AI and robotics. However, to ensure environmental, social, and governance(ESG) safety, industry-specific precautions must be taken. This study focused on the ESG safety management in the distribution industry. It aimed to identify the mechanisms of empowering leadership, safety culture, safety behavior, and organizational trust. The study also empirically confirmed that safety culture acts as a mediator between empowering leadership and safety behavior. Additionally, it found that organizational trust plays a moderating role between safety culture and safety behavior. In order to achieve this objective, a survey was performed online with a sample size of 400 workers in the distribution industry. Out of the 400 replies, 384 were considered reliable for analysis after eliminating 16 dishonest responses. The data was then analyzed using SPSS 25.0 Process Macro and AMOS 22.0 to check the link between the main variables and test the hypotheses. The study revealed that empowering leadership had a large and beneficial impact on safety behavior and safety culture. Furthermore, research has demonstrated that the implementation of empowered leadership has a positive impact on safety culture, hence strengthening and initiating safety-related actions among individuals. Furthermore, it was discovered that organizational trust acts as a moderating mediator between empowering leadership and safety behavior, specifically through safety culture. The study confirmed that as the level of organizational trust increases, the positive impact of empowering leadership on safety behavior is enhanced through the mediating role of safety culture. The given findings provide theoretical and practical recommendations for implementing ESG safety compliance response systems and safety processes in the distribution industry.
Romanticism, Internationalism, and the National Poet: Genealogies of Second-World Surrogacy
Authors: Hodgkin Samuel
Published: May 2024

This article considers the national poet as surrogate: the rhetorical and poetic repertory that enables speaking for the national collectivity, and the ease with which this repertory is redirected to speak on behalf of other collectivities. It is a commonplace to attribute to Soviet multinational culture a Romantic nationalist genealogy, but this continuity or revival has generally been located in genre, intertextuality, and theories of the nation. Here, the author focuses instead on the tool kit of representation, and surrogacy in particular, arguing that the Soviet multinational literary system was a crucible that transformed the representational resources of Romanticism for the postcolonial age. The author’s account draws on the distinctively neo-Romantic approaches to representation proposed by Lukacs and Ankersmit to consider the Soviet reception and translation of the major national poets Robert Burns, Victor Hugo, and Taras Shevchenko. It also follows the Soviet Eastern (Kyrgyz, Tajik, and Iranian émigré) writer-functionaries who translated the Romantics through their own acts of surrogate representation in the Third World. The result is an account of how the Soviet Union, simultaneously anti-colonial and semicolonial, bridged the transition from the Romantic figure of the national poet to the postcolonial figure of the literary representative.
Eliot at Yale
Authors: Poland Matt
Published: May 2024

This article locates the origins of George Eliot scholarship in the archival collecting practices and editorial priorities of Chauncey Brewster Tinker and Gordon Haight at Yale University in the early twentieth century. If archives are the prehistory of reception, as the article suggests, then the collecting practices of individuals and institutions have an influence on scholarly production that is pervasive and also directive. This prehistory of The George Eliot Letters recounts how Tinker acquired her letters for Yale and his own collection, and how Haight’s perspective emerged from the institutional subjectivity of the university, library, and English department. Eliot scholarship emerges from the world of elite male book collecting and queer attachments to each other and to the Rare Books Room. The study of the Victorian novel at Yale itself developed in the shadow of eighteenth-century studies, and its dynamism contrasted markedly with the static curriculum of Victorian poetry. These factors contributed to Haight’s neglect of the significance of Eliot’s poetry, and to his exclusion of correspondence addressing it in the Letters. Haight’s sense of ownership of Eliot’s life and achievements has lastingly impacted the horizons of George Eliot studies, which remains artificially secular and oriented toward the novel.
An Amateur Physiologist: George Henry Lewes as Witness at the 1875 Royal Commission on Vivisection, Part I
Authors: Holmes Tarquin
Published: May 2024

This article investigates the background to George Henry Lewes’s testimony at the 1875 Royal Commission on Vivisection, paying particular attention to his role as the sole “private investigator” (amateur physiologist) to testify at the Commission. Lewes’s initial training in medicine in the 1830s, the reawakening of his experimental interests in the 1850s, and his attempts to contribute to debates around the nature of animal reflex actions are discussed. This is followed by an analysis of why amateur and private animal experimentation was by the 1870s increasingly seen as problematic by antivivisectionists concerned about the lack of accountability of scientific experiment to public purview and sentiment and outdated by scientists demanding increasing exactitude in laboratory experiments. This article will be followed by an accompanying second part that will examine Lewes’s 1875 testimony in detail.

Published: May 2024

This article explores how the soft power of Türkiye and India has been playing significant roles in their relationship with Afghanistan in the post-9/11 incident. After the US-led invasion of the Taliban in 2001, Türkiye, which has no land border with Afghanistan, engaged as a NATO stakeholder for post-war peacebuilding in the country. Türkiye also pursued non-military engagement through humanitarian and cultural institutions and achieved the confidence of the Afghan people. On the other hand, a diverse-natured regime at the doorstep, as well as the bitter relationship with Pakistan, triggered India to approach Afghanistan closely. India utilised its ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy through sheer civilian participation in delivering humanitarian aid and collaborating in educational and cultural fields, significantly strengthening its relationship with Afghanistan. However, the Taliban’s takeover of power has narrowed India’s engagement while Türkiye’s engagement has increased, though non-militarily, having significant impacts on both countries’ relationships with Afghanistan. This study, firstly, conceptualises the term ‘soft power.’ Secondly, it explains Türkiye’s historical relations with Afghanistan and the role of soft power after 9/11 to consolidate the relations. Thirdly, it explains India’s historical relations with Afghanistan and the role of soft power in expanding the relations after 9/11. Then, the article compares the roles of soft power by state and non-state actors of Türkiye with those of India in developing their relations with Afghanistan and the challenges and prospects that Türkiye and India may face in the future.

Juvenile delinquency is the consequence of complex and comprehensive interactions with multiple risk factors. The experimental research highlighted that the public authorities have conducted tremendous efforts to determine juveniles at risk of delinquency and the factors related to delinquency, as well. Nevertheless, the basic research gap is to investigate which risk factor is more significant than others for allocating the limited resources and efforts. To close this gap, in this study, the Full Consistency Method (FUCOM) was utilized to determine the significance degrees of factors that cause juvenile delinquency. The findings indicate that the most significant risk factors causing juvenile delinquency are out and away “Family” and “Economic and Social Factors Relevant factors are of vital importance in determining both the social aspects and broader perspective on juvenile delinquency. In the planning phase of strategies to be developed for the prevention of juvenile delinquency, it is defined, which risk factor may be focused on to what extent, and which risk factor should be allocated more resources and effort to prevent juvenile delinquency more effectively. Besides, it has been concluded that the FUCOM method can be utilized effectively for juvenile delinquency decision-making analysis.

Results: The study obtained 4200 samples, including 1900donor and 2300patient samples. The allele frequency distribution of blood group antigens in the studied population was compared with the prevalence observed in the present study. The D antigen exhibited a frequency of 99.34% in the studied population, slightly lower than the prevalence observed in the present study at 98.9% (95% CI: 98.5 - 99.0). Conversely, the C antigen was found in 93.1% of the studied population, with a slightly higher prevalence observed in the present study at 99.1% (95% CI: 92.0 - 99.2). Implication: The study suggests serological testing is a cost-effective method for blood transfusion management, identifying Rh phenotypes. Compiling a database of donor Rh genotypes simplifies transfusion selection, reducing unfavorable responses. Pre-transfusion Rh phenotype examination is crucial for matching patient blood type with donor blood, reducing adverse reactions, and improving patient safety. Conclusion: In transfusion applications, serological testing are cost-effective for Rh phenotype identification but not genotypes. Creating a database of blood donors' Rh phenotypes and evaluating each patient before their initial transfusion should lessen adverse reactions and speed up antigen-negative blood availability, saving more patients. Keywords: Blood transfusion, phenotype, Rh antigen, donors, receivers, analysis of variations

Background: Foot ulcers, a dangerous and common consequence of diabetes, currently have no particular therapeutic options. There are many topical medicines and ointments available for wound management.It has been observed that topical insulin dressings effectiveness is better than other dressings. Aim: To determine the effectiveness of Topical Insulin dressing VS Normal saline dressing in diabetic ulcer in terms of rate of reduction in ulcer area in days and need for re debridement Methods: A randomized control trial conducted in Emergency and Outdoor Department of South Surgical ward, Mayo Hospital, Lahore.Study was carried out insix months from Sept 2022 to March 2023. A total 86 patients fulfilling the selection criteria presented to outdoor/Emergency of South surgical department of general surgery of Mayo Hospital, Lahore falling in Wagner’s classification I and IIwere enrolled in the study after taking informed consent. Patients were divided by method of random allocation (lottery method) to Group A (Topical insulin dressing) and Group B (Normal saline soaked dressing) after explaining the procedure. Rate of reduction in ulcer area was measured in days. Need of re-debridement was labeled as ‘yes’ if patient needed re-debridement or ‘no’ if patient did not need re-debridement. Results: Baseline mean wound area in Group A and in Group B was 34.87±29.23 cm2 and 27.45±24.00cm2. After 2 weeks the wound area reduced to 9.35±10.75 cm2 and 7.33±9.29 cm2 respectively. Mean days for rate of reduction in ulcer areas was significantly less in Group A patients than in Group B patients (p-value<0.001). Rate of re-debridement for Group B patients was significantly higher than patients in Group A (Group A: 18.6% vs Group B: 46.5%, p-value= 0.006). Improved wound healing will reduce need of redebridement and minor to major foot amputations. Conclusion: This study concludes that topical insulin dressing is more effective as that of normal saline soaked dressing for management of diabetic ulcer in terms of rate of reduction in ulcer area in term of days and need for re debridement. Keywords: Effectiveness, Normal saline Dressing, Topical Insulin dressing, Diabetic foot ulcer, Ulcer area, Re-debridement.

This paper explains the context for secondary accreditations for clinical psychologists, with a focus on the recognised multi-professional marker for competence in CBT, BABCP accreditation. It describes what CBT accreditation is and how clinical psychologists can achieve it at any stage of their career. The meaning of secondary accreditation within our profession is explored and the debate is outlined in the hope that readers will gain greater clarity about the value and benefits of dual accreditation in CBT for clinical psychologists. The views of clinical psychologists at all stages of their career from trainees to service leads are presented. Recent learning and developments from dual accredited clinical psychology doctorates in England are shared including the voice of a recent graduate of a Level 2 accredited doctorate, to provide insights and guidance for other doctorate programmes currently developing Level 2 BABCP accreditation, their supervisors and their trainees.
Community Mental Health Transformation in England: The implications for clinical psychologists
Authors: Brabban Alison , Tiplady Bill
Published: May 2024

The Community Mental Health Transformation in England has introduced a range of opportunities for clinical psychologists. Whilst the focus to increase delivery of evidence based psychological therapies requires associated expertise to deliver, train and supervise these therapies, the opportunities go beyond therapy. Genuine transformation relies on local systems moving away from a bio-medically dominated approach to mental health service delivery, to provision underpinned by a more nuanced bio-psychosocial understanding of wellbeing and personal recovery. Clinical psychologists are ideally placed to support teams and services to offer true personalised care: offering expert advice to ensure care and support is formulation based and acknowledges the individual, systemic and structural elements that contribute to mental distress. Ultimately, the cultural change required to achieve the transformation described within national policy is dependent on leadership from those with appropriate expert knowledge and understanding of mental distress. Clinical psychologists should have these competences and can offer this leadership.
Next steps for the psychological workforce in Wales
Authors: Andrew Liz , Thompson Andrew
Published: May 2024

This invited article presents a brief account of recent key Welsh government mental health strategy in relation to the development of the psychological workforce. We will allude to historical major challenges that have existed that include the relatively low numbers of psychological practitioners being trained and limited access to therapies such as CBT. Much of the article will discuss positive recent developments that have assisted the implementation of mental health workforce plans. These include planned expansion in clinical psychology numbers, the development of a new country wide Adult Lifespan Clinical Associate in Applied Psychology (CAAPs) MSc, and expansion in the pathways available for health board staff to gain specific therapy competencies (particularly in relation to cognitive behavioural therapy). There will be some discussion of the continuing challenges, and the article will conclude with a call for further collaboration between stakeholders to ensure that our common goal of improving psychological services for people living in Wales is realised.
The development of the PPN equality, diversity, and inclusion audit tool: What it is and how to use it?
Authors: Ononaiye Margo
Published: May 2024

There are a host of initiatives within the National Health Service (NHS) to increase the diversity of the workforce. The Psychological Professions Network (PPN) is funded by NHS England to enable a membership network and a platform for discussion, consultation, and development across the psychological professions. Equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are key priorities for the NHS workforce, and the PPN South-East (PPN SE) commissioned a project aimed at exploring the facilitators and barriers to increasing the diversity of the workforce. As part of this project, following stakeholder consultation, the PPN SE EDI Audit Tool was devised to aid the development of effective and accountable EDI action plans based upon increasing the diversity of expert by experience involvement, students/trainees, and the NHS workforce. The aim of this paper is to provide a rationale for the Audit Tool, and detail step by step instructions explaining how to complete it, to help with accountability and planning for Psychological Training Programmes, Higher Education Institutions, Professional Bodies and NHS Trusts.

Published: May 2024

Psychological practice in physical healthcare results in better recovery and outcomes for patients/service users and their families and/or carers. Therefore, psychological professionals working in physical and integrated healthcare are ideally placed to make a significant impact on health and wellbeing outcomes and prevention of future disease. This is not yet reflected in health care strategic delivery, with psychological practice within physical health care often reliant on time-limited funding and subject to regional variation in commissioning. This paper outlines the key issues and presents the case for change. This includes recommendations for education, supervision, leadership and outcomes measurement to support a more comprehensive approach to psychological practice, and the sustainable growth of the psychological professions’ workforce in physical healthcare.
