"This research is funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. AP14972884). This research has shown that a serious limiting factor inhibiting the use of harder metals and alloys as dressing materials is the loss of form stability of the cutting edge when, due to high contact loads, it is plastically deformed with deterioration of cutting properties caused by changes in the geometry of the cutting edge. To address this issue, a study of the relationship between the hardness of the machined material and the pre-treatment rate was carried out. Pretreatment was carried out on two heat-treated hardened 20X steel materials with a hardness of HRC 21...23 and HRC 19...20. As a result it is established that by varying the hardness of the machined material during tool lapping it is possible to increase the hardening effect and significantly reduce the material consumption. Also plots of influence of pre-treatment duration on tool life of T5K10 when turning steel 20X (HRC 16...17) and influence of hardness of working material on optimum rate of pre-treatment of R6M5 tool and time of pre-treatment are presented. Keywords: Hardness, pre-treatment, hardening, optimum rate, wear resistance, pre-treatment time. "

Authors: R. Zaripov
Published: October 2023

"The article reflects the research of the possibility of using solar panels on small-class vessels in order to improve environmental safety. A mathematical model and algorithm for calculating the elements and characteristics of «small» passenger ships with various types of electric solar power plants have been developed. Scope of application: uninterrupted supply of electric energy to the consumer on ships. The results obtained in the work can be used for the development of renewable energy projects. To justify the rationality of using an electric motor and electrochemical energy sources, extensive field tests were carried out on the Irtysh River, during which the composition of equipment, passenger capacity, operational speed and the length of the line of operation varied.Based on the enlarged flowchart, the authors develop a program that allows for a quantitative analysis of the impact on the characteristics and elements of a «small» passenger vessel of various complexes of an atypical rowing rig using an electric motor as the main one. The program provides for the calculation of such economic indicators as the payback period of the vessel, the cost of transportation of one passenger, profit from the operation of the vessel.

Published: October 2023

" Благородные металлы, такие как золото на протяжение многих лет остаются одними из самых востребованных, поскольку являются мерой материальных ценностей. В последнее время золото не только не утратило своей актуальности, но и с развитием новых технологий становится все более востребованным в электронной и других областях промышленности по причине своих уникальных качеств. Однако количество и качество минерального сырья, из которого добывают золото, с каждым годом падает. В связи с этим, остро встает вопрос о более глубокой переработке упорного минерального сырья и техногенных отходов, содержащих золото. Так в Республике Казахстане имеются существенные залежи техногенных месторождений золота – хвосты обогащения и т.д. Они были образованы в тот период, когда технологии по извлечению золота из минерального сырья не были совершенными. Переработка техногенных месторождений позволит существенно расширить сырьевую базу добычи золота. Разработка таких месторождений имеет ряд преимуществ, поскольку сырье извлечено на поверхность и измельчено. Как правило, золото в хвостах содержится в виде тонких вкраплений в сульфидах трудно поддающихся цианированию. В данной статье рассматривается способ извлечения золота из хвостов пиритной руды АО «Майкаин Золото» содержащих золото в количестве ≈ 1г/т. При помощи предварительного микроволнового нагрева и последующего тиомочевинного выщелачивания удалось извлечь до 94 % золота. Без обработки микроволновой обработки извлечение золота составило 67 %. Ключевые слова: хвосты обогащения, золото, микроволновая активация, рециклинг, тиомочевина."

"Настоящая статья посвящена актуальной проблеме современного казахстанского образования – повышению функциональной грамотности населения. В понимании функциональной грамотности, в том числе грамотности чтения, мы опираемся на методологические положения международных сопоставительных исследований PISA, PIAAC. Как показывают результаты исследования PIAAC–2018, взрослое население Казахстана, в том числе и молодые люди в возрасте 16-24 лет, обладают невысоким уровнем грамотности чтения. В связи с этим важно в процессе подготовки специалистов в вузах делать акцент на развитие грамотности чтения. Для этого необходимо разработать инструментарий по замеру грамотности чтения. Через систему тщательно отобранных текстов и разработанных к ним заданий следует измерять и формировать грамотность чтения у студентов, в частности, такие навыки работы с текстом, как нахождение, понимание, рассуждение и оценка. Развитие грамотности чтения у студентов позволить улучшить их образовательные достижения, повысить их конкурентоспособность на рынке труда, а также создаст возможности для улучшения их благополучия в общественной и личной жизни. Авторами публикации на основе методологии международных сопоставительных исследований PISA, PIAAC ранее была разработана теоретическая рамка оценки грамотности чтения. В этой статье описаны особенности разработанного инструментария по замеру грамотности чтения: описаны принципы отбора текстов, а также методологическая рамка разработки тестовых заданий. Ключевые слова: грамотность чтения, текст, PISA, PIAAC, базовые процессы чтения. "
ФОЛЬКЛОРИСТИЧЕСКАЯ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ УЧЕНЫХ АЛАШ: МАШХУР ЖУСИП КОПЕЕВ
Authors: *Н. К. Жусупов  , М. Н. Баратова
Published: October 2023

"В данной статье рассматривается фольклористическая деятельность известного казахского поэта, фольклориста, историка, этнографа, востоковеда Машхур Жусипа Копеева. В том числе его требования к сбору образцов фольклора, особенностям выдачи текстового паспорта, мировоззрению о фольклоре и др. Существует три источника формирования Машхур Жусипа в качестве ученого-фольклориста. Первый – принятие богатого наследия своего народа, устной литературы и фольклорных образцов; второй – овладение достижениями ученых Востока в Средние века; третий – влияние западных ученых, в том числе русской интеллигенции. Известно, что в процессе сбора устной литературы и фольклорных образцов Машхур Жусип опирался на определенные принципы сбора. Это возникает из просветительско-демократических взглядов поэта. Машхур Жусип Копеев относился к фольклору как благородному наследию, не подлежащему к изменению, исправлению, а также придерживался условия для того, чтобы текст был записан как есть. Поэтому особо следует отметить, что поэт не забывал указывать, от кого что получил. Значение трудов Машхур Жусипа по сбору казахского фольклора не ограничивается одной областью, он является бесценным источником материалов для таких областей как: история, философия, педагогика и др. Это, в свою очередь, указывает на важность работы Машхур Жусипа Копеева, которая была проанализирована в статье. Ключевые слова: Машхур Жусип Копеев, фольклор, история, образец, сбор, принцип, мировоззрение. "
Implementing NIMS: Lessons Learned from the Boston Marathon Bombing
Authors: Duggan James , Petrozzelli John , Slattery Jay
Published: October 2023

Many opportunities to learn from the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing have not been capitalized on. The terrorist attack was launched in the heart of Boston, a densely populated urban area with a population of approximately 670,000. Those numbers are amplified by the hundreds of thousands of spectators that line the streets along the Marathon route, with most at the finish line on Boylston Street. Two pressure cooker bombs were detonated in the finish line area, killing three and injuring 264. Among the injured were 16 who suffered traumatic amputations. Numerous reviews of the response and investigation identified positive aspects to be expanded upon and others needing improvement. This monograph presents lessons learned within the context of the National Incident Management System. Individuals that responded to and investigated the attack provide insights into what went well and, more importantly, what didn’t, in the days and weeks following the attack. How would the proper implementation of Unified Command have improved outcomes? Find out from those who were there, have separated from service, and are now free to speak. The lessons presented provide critical guidance for the proper preparation for and response to terrorist attacks in urban environments.
Wide Area Motion Imagery and the Colonial Antecedents of Surveillance
Authors: Napal Dinesh
Published: October 2023

Wide area motion imagery (WAMI) technologies are procured by federal and state security institutions across the United States, due to their capacity to surveil at an extraordinary scale. Innovation in WAMI development seeks to make them more compact or convenient to use and employ in a variety of situations. The increased use of WAMI, particularly through uncrewed aerial combat vehicle (UCAV) systems and operations, is able to render visible people, communities, and behaviors at an unprecedented level. This has implications for individuals’ and communities’ perception of surveillance and the ontology of security. The experience of being secured or kept safe is brought about through the surveillance apparatus, which imposes an unending gaze upon the secured population. This article argues that WAMI technology replicates the totalizing gaze of colonial surveillance architecture, and its deployment in areas such as Baltimore and Dayton, reifies disciplinary boundaries around legitimate behavior in law enforcement and warfare.
Why Cities Fail: The Urban Security Crisis in Ecuador
Authors: Mantilla Jorge , Andrade Carolina , Vallejo Maria Fe
Published: October 2023

Compared to other countries in Latin America, Ecuador was traditionally considered a peaceful territory. However, 2022 was the most violent year in the history of Ecuador with a homicide rate of 25.6. In particular, the littoral city of Guayaquil (46.6) poses extraordinary challenges to Ecuadorian security agencies while criminal governance and firepower of criminal armed groups increased steadily in the past four years. This paper explores the relationship between ports, violence, and governance in the context of criminal wars. Through a process-tracing method, it studies the path through which Guayaquil ended up in a security crisis between 2018 and 2022. Using in-depth interviews, criminal justice data, and direct observations, we argue the relations between states and communities can dramatically change under the perception of state weakness despite the implementation of iron fist approaches as exceptional public safety measures.
Silenced in the Library
Authors: Jarvis Zeke
Published: October 2023

Censorship has been an ongoing phenomenon even in "the land of the free." This examination of banned books across U.S. history examines the motivations and effects of censorship, shows us how our view of right and wrong has evolved over the years, and helps readers to understand the tremendous importance of books and films in our society. Books ranging from classics such as A Farewell to Arms, Lord of the Rings, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Color Purple as well as best-selling books such as Are You There, God? It's Me Margaret, titles in the Harry Potter series, and various books by bestselling novelist Stephen King have all been on the banned books list. What was the content that got them banned, who wanted them banned, and did the ban have the desired effect of minimizing the number of people who read the title―or did it have the opposite effect, inadvertently creating an even larger readership for the book? Silenced in the Library: Banned Books in America provides a comprehensive examination of the challenges to major books as well as the final results of these selections being deemed "unfit for public consumption." Included in its discussion are explanations of the true nature of the objections along with the motives of the authors, publishers, and major proponents of the books. Content is organized based on why the books were banned, such as sexual content, drug use, or religious objections. This approach helps readers to see trends in how people have approached the challenge of evaluating what is "proper" and shows how our societal consensus of what is acceptable has evolved over the years. Readers will come away with a fuller appreciation of the immense power of words on a page―or an eReader device―to inflame and outrage, influence opinion, incite thought, and even change the course of history.
Skewed Studies
Authors: Kuykendall Sally
Published: October 2023

In these uncertain times, how much can you trust health news? Is the research behind breaking headlines reliable? This book is an indispensable resource for students and general readers, helping them evaluate and think critically about health information.

"People Who Drink Coffee Live Longer." "Students Learn Better When Listening to Classical Music." "Scientists Discover the Gene That Causes Obesity." We are constantly bombarded with reports of "groundbreaking" health findings that use attention-grabbing headlines and seem to be backed by credible science. Yet many of these studies and the news articles that discuss them fall prey to a variety of problems that can produce misleading and inaccurate results. Some of these may be easy to notice—like a research study on the benefits of red meat funded by the beef industry, or a study with a sample size of only 10 people—but others are much harder to spot.

Skewed Studies: Exploring the Limits and Flaws of Health and Psychology Research examines the most pervasive problems plaguing health research and reporting today, using clear, accessible language and employing real-world examples to illustrate key concepts. Beyond simply outlining issues, it provides readers with the knowledge and skills to evaluate research studies and news reports for themselves, improving their health literacy and critical thinking skills.

Food Culture in the Pacific Islands
Authors: Haden Roger
Published: October 2023

The food culture of the Pacific Islands has been determined by isolation from the rest of the world. Original immigrants from Asia brought their foods, animals, and culinary skills with them, then for several thousand years, they were largely uninfluenced by outsiders. The tropical climate of much of the region, unique island geology and environmental factors also played a role in the evolution of islander cuisine, which is based on unique ingredients. The staples of breadfruit, yams, taro, coconut, sweet potato, and cassava are incorporated into a cuisine that uses cooking and preservation techniques unique to Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. Today, food culture in the Pacific is largely one of extremes. Although traditional foods and cookery survive and are highly valued, Westernization has meant that the overall diet of islanders has been negatively transformed and that islands are net importers of unhealthful foods. Ironically, the tourism industry has re-engaged islander people in food production and boosted their sense of identity. Students, food mavens, and travellers will find this to be a stellar introduction to the current culture of the Pacific Islands, with discussion of Hawaii, Australia, and New Zealand included.

Chapter 1, Historical Overview, offers a fascinating chronicle of the evolution of a food culture of extremes, of isolation, climate, environment, and Western influences. Chapter 2, Major Foods and Ingredients, introduces a host of traditional tropical manna as well as imported products. The Cooking chapter discusses the truly unique cooking styles of the islands, such as steam-baking in the ground in an umu (oven). Chapter 4, Typical Meals, largely explores the emphasis on the ubiquitous processed foods. A Regional Specialties chapter reveals both pan-regional dishes and the noted local dishes. Chapter 6's Eating Out discussion shows the new acceptance of the individualist, recreational ritual of eating away from the community. The typical life-cycle food rituals are covered in the Special Occasions chapter. A final chapter on Diet and Health highlights the increase in Western diseases arising from diet and lifestyle changes and discusses timely food security issues as well. Recipes are interspersed throughout, and a timeline, glossary, selected bibliography, and photos round out the coverage.
Genetic Testing
Authors: Boslaugh Sarah
Published: October 2023

Genetic testing has provided important clues to understanding our health, but it has also raised many ethical, legal, and medical questions and concerns. This book explores the breadth of genetic testing, its possibilities, and the controversies that surround its use. The mapping of the human genome has paved the way for a variety of genetic tests. Expectant mothers can have their fetus screened for a variety of genetic abnormalities, and couples worried that they might be carriers for a genetic disorder can be tested before deciding to have children. Women can be screened for the BRCA2 gene that has been linked to increased risk of breast cancer. Individuals curious about their ancestry can find out more about their heritage. Genetic testing can also be used to establish paternity and help solve crimes. Part of Greenwood's Health and Medical Issues Today series, this book is divided into three sections. Part I explores the history of genetic testing, including the rise of direct-to-consumer tests, and outlines the current applications and contexts in which genetic testing is performed. Part II delves deep into the ethical, legal, financial, medical, and psychological issues and controversies that surround genetic testing. Part III provides a variety of useful materials, including case studies, a timeline of critical events, and a directory of resources.

O objetivo deste trabalho é refletir sobre o processo investigativo decolonial e interseccional da educação popular, que valoriza as experiências coletivas, entrecruzadas pela raça, classe, gênero e geração. De caráter qualitativo, os recursos metodológicos participativos multimodais foram: observação participante, entrevista semiestruturada e narrativa.A pesquisa construiu um espaço de diálogo e reflexão, com as mulheres da horta, o que gerou a possibilidade de rever compreensões acerca de diferentes experiências, como a do trabalho infantil. As desigualdades de gênero, raça e classe encontraram diferentes pontos de conexão entre nós-elas, no entanto, tais intersecções afetam seus corpos, mentes e psiquês de modos diferentes.
Conexão Pindorama: conversas serpenteantes sobre fazer pesquisa, arte e educação desde os sertões de “Paranãmbuko”

O presente relato é fruto das reflexões emergentes do processo de pesquisa Conexão Pindorama, realizada pelo Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas Macondo: artes, culturas contemporâneas e outras epistemologias, da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco – Unidade Acadêmica de Serra Talhada. As primeiras notas a serem apresentadas aqui, aquilo que chamamos no título de conversas serpenteantes, são exercícios ensaísticos que buscam as articulações entre os modos de narrar indígenas, os desafios impostos pela Lei n° 11.645/2008 em sala de aula e as nossas vivências como professoras e professores em diversos níveis da educação nos sertões pernambucanos. A ideia lançada visa meditar sobre uma práxis de pesquisa contracolonial e confluente (BISPO, 2015) que perpassa a elaboração de outras metodologias, levando em conta intersecções como o manejo da oralidade, da poética e da memória, assim como um olhar acurado para os trânsitos e transbordamentos possíveis entre as fronteiras canônicas da ciência e da arte.

Nas últimas décadas, o envelhecimento populacional cresceu no Brasil. Mais idosos dentro do cenário nacional exigiu mudanças efetivas nos métodos de saúde, objetivando tratar essa população de maneira específica com ênfase no manejo de doenças crônicas e no advento da polifarmácia inerentes ao processo de envelhecimento. Neste cenário, um desafio que se tornou mais comum foi a insônia. Ela pode ser definida como a dificuldade para iniciar e manter o sono. Possui três classificações básicas: inicial, intermediária e final. A primeira está associada com a dificuldade em iniciar o sono. A segunda, com a dificuldade em manter o sono. A última, com o despertar precoce (muito antes do esperado), onde o indivíduo não consegue voltar a dormir. Salienta-se que a insônia inicial é a que mais acomete a população geriátrica, sendo a de maior prevalência. Logo, esta revisão narrativa de literatura reuniu artigos nas principais bases de dados objetivando apontar as principais medidas não medicamentosas para o tratamento de insônia em idosos, condicionando sua adesão ao atual cenário social brasileiro. Concluiu-se que os principais tratamentos não medicamentosos para o tratamento da insônia em idosos incluem a educação em higiene do sono, a terapia comportamental e a terapia cognitivo comportamental.
Lost in translation: the history of the Ebers Papyrus and Dr. Carl H. von Klein
Authors: Hartsock Jane , Halverson Colin
Published: October 2023

While the Ebers Papyrus is understood to be one of the oldest and most complete contemporaneous perspectives on Ancient Egyptian healing practices, nothing has yet been said about the biography of its first English-language translator, Dr. Carl H. von Klein. A German immigrant and surgeon in the American Midwest, von Klein spent twenty-some years meticulously translating and annotating the Papyrus, but ultimately his manuscript was destroyed. In this paper, we examine the societal- and personal-scale forces that thwarted his efforts to transform our understanding of the history of medicine.
