Published: December 2019

One of the important turbine components to consider in its manufacture is the runner and turbine casing components. The large number of parts that must be welded and the use of tools that do not meet functional requirements causes some problems during the assembly process, the problem is due to the difficulty of obtaining straightness between the disc and runner shaft where both components occur run-out deviations that exceed the allowable tolerance, as well as casing component assembly where almost all of the joints undergo a simple welding process and use of aids causing a very large dimension deviation from the specified tolerance. The use of very simple tools will cause difficulties in controlling the dimensions or uniformity of the shape during the production process. For this reason, a fixture that is suitable for the runner and turbine casing is needed to get the assembly process that matches the specified geometry tolerance. This research makes the fixture design to be used in runner assembly and turbine casing assembly with the assembly method is carried out in stages. The design is done in five stages, namely the stage of problem statement, the stage of making needs analysis, the stage of gathering information and ideas, the stage of making temporary designs and the stage of making the final draft.  Fixture manufacturing is done in two stages, namely ordering materials (purchasing materials) and making fixture components. The final result of making runners and casings using a fixture is able to reduce the aberration in the runner and turbine casing components by producing run-outs at runners of 2.0 mm and the straightness of the casing straightness of 1.6 mm, but have not been able to achieve deviations from the targeted one mm.

Students’ and Applicants’ Social Perceptions of the Risks of Educational Environment at Higher Education Institution
Authors: Lyalyuk A. V. , Tuchina O. R.
Published: December 2019

Educational system is the most important social institution, which provides the development of a personality and frames his/her worldview and the conception of subjective well-being. Despite the large number of studies on the issue of psychological and pedagogical security of educational environment, the sphere of higher education still remains underexplored. The available empiric material has not received sufficient methodological justification and conceptualization. This article aims to provide the conceptualization of the risk category as applied to the educational environment of a higher education institution, as well as empiric investigation of the risks within the educational environment as viewed by applicants and students.

Materials and methods. 213 applicants and 547 students of the Kuban State Technological University took part in the survey. The following investigation methods were used: expert assessment, interview, questioning, content analysis, analysis of means method, cluster analysis and factor analysis.

Investigation results. Comparative examination of the manifestation degree of risks within the educational environment as viewed by applicants and students of higher education institution showed significant differences in the assessment of risk by these groups of respondents. From the point of view of applicants, the main risks are connected with social and psychological aspects of the educational environment of a higher education institution, relations within student groups and interaction with teachers, as well as with the issues related to the educational management and leisure arrangement. As viewed by the students, the risks within the educational environment include external and social and psychological risk factors, motivating risks and risks arising from the learning process organization and management and the related issues. Applicants’ notion of the risks within the educational environment of a higher education institution was mainly influenced by information they received from media and by the opinion of their relatives and age mates.

Consideration and conclusions. It was proved that the applicants’ idea of the risks within the educational environment of a higher education institution is determined by the opinion of people they know personally, however it changes during the process of studying in higher education institution and acquiring their own experience of being within the environment. The investigation results allow creating a model of psychological and pedagogical security within the educational environment of a higher education institution. This model makes it possible to forecast main risks of the educational environment, their development, and evolvement and find solution to them.
Reflections on Teaching and Studying the Scientific Laws
Authors: Shipovalova L. V.
Published: December 2019

The article aims to discuss the problems of teaching and studying the scientific laws. It is dedicated to the anniversary of Dmitriy Mendeleev’s Periodic Law, but the author discusses the scientific laws in a broad epistemological and educational context. In the first section of the article, the author determines the purpose of education at a research university on the basis of Wilhelm von Humboldt’s ideas. She emphasizes that, in contrast to school education, which is focused on the transfer of ready-made knowledge, university education should generate critical thinking. In the context of such distinction between educational goals, a research question is formulated. How to make the practice of teaching a scientific law truly relevant to research university, and not only and not so much to school education? The answer to this question consistently considers two interrelated aspects of the possible education of future researchers. The author describes the historical aspect of teaching the scientific laws through two strategies of the history of science – antiquarianism and presentism. She demonstrates that antiquarianism can contribute to the formation of critical thinking. The author reveals the ontological aspect of teaching the scientific laws and relates it with the critic of objectivism in interpretation of scientific knowledge. In conclusion she argues that the proposed approach may contribute to the generation of scientific thinking aimed at finding new knowledge.

Authors: Moore Christopher , Nimbarte Ashish D. , Sun Yun
Published: December 2019

Background: Manual material handling incidents are responsible for a large portion of lost work days annually. With the transition to e-commerce, cart pushing and pulling tasks have become more common. Objective: This research explored the effects of surface gradient and load on full body kinematics during cart pushing and pulling tasks. Methods: Ten participants were recruited to complete two sets of tasks. Participants performed cart pushing tasks on three surface gradients and three load masses and downhill cart pulling tasks on two surface gradients and three load masses while being recorded with an optical motion capture system. Full body, three-dimensional joint angles were calculated for each task, and peak angles of the major body joints were analyzed using general linear models to determine the effects of the dependent variables. Results: During the cart pushing tasks, increased load mass and surface gradient both caused a significant increase in the peak joint angles of most body joints with surface gradient having the larger effect. When cart pushing and pulling tasks were compared with 5° and 10° surface gradients and three load masses, cart pushing resulted in significantly higher joint angles. Conclusion: During manual material handling tasks involving a cart, surface gradients and load masses should be minimized.

Background: In many developing countries, anthropometric measures are rarely available and dimensions of school furniture are either based on anthropometric measures from developed countries or are arbitrarily determined. Objective: The purpose of this study was to ergonomically assess classroom furniture dimensions in United Arab Emirates as compared to students' anthropometric measures. Methods: Relevant anthropometric dimensions of a sample of 200 grade 6 students were measured in two large schools in Dubai and Sharjah. Dimensions of furniture used by these students were also measured and compared to their anthropometric measures. Results: Results show that there was a major mismatch between many anthropometric measures and classroom furniture dimensions. Conclusions: There is a great discrepancy between furniture dimensions and anthropometrics measures of students. To ensure postural comfort. a new set of furniture dimensions for grade 6 classrooms in is suggested based on anthropometric dimensions of students.
Age-related performance differences in compensatory tracking under a dual task condition
Authors: Hahn Melanie , Falkenstein Michael , Wild-Wall Nele
Published: December 2019

Due to demographic changes and a higher age of retirement, an increasing number of older people will maintain mobility in car traffic. At the same time the extent of technical equipment, e.g. driver assistance systems in motor vehicles, increases as well. Such assistent systems should provide additional and supportive information during driving. However, they can also result in distraction and disturb driving performance especially in older drivers. In order to investigate this, young and older participants performed a simulated driving task under a dual task condition: a visuo-motor tracking task and a visual attention task. An age-related slowing of response speed was observed in the visual attention task. Independent of age, both groups showed comparable error proportions and were able to improve their performance with time on task. In the tracking task, older participants showed a generally impaired performance compared to the young group which could not be improved with time on task. Particularly after relevant targets in the visual attention task, the tracking performance of both groups was decreased; this was more pronounced for the older group. The results may have relevant implications for the presentation of information by driver assistance systems especially for older drivers.

Published: December 2019

Demographic changes have important implications for the quality of working life. Increasing age is often accompanied by changes in perceptual, cognitive and motor abilities. The scientifically proven decrease of visual acuity with age is of particular importance for computer work. In this paper, acuity of vision was measured using a standardized eyesight test called Rodatest 302. To investigate the age-induced change in visual acuity and its impact on human performance, a target detection experiment with well-known Landolt rings was conducted on the basis of three different font sizes (12, 16 and 22 arc minutes). The Landolt rings were displayed on a TFT LCD screen. 75 subjects aged between 20 and 72 years participated in the experiment. The number of correctly detected Landolt rings (hits), the number of wrongly detected Landolt rings (false alarms) and the response time of correct responses were measured. Results from analysis of variance show a strong effect of font size and a medium age-related effect concerning the response time of correct responses. The interaction effect of font size and age group shows that age-related differences in response time can be compensated by enlarging the font size from 16 to 22 arc minutes. Results from partial correlation analysis show that an age-differentiated adaptation of font size is recommended rather than an adaptation based on measurement of visual acuity.

Authors: Hoffmann Georg , Griesmacher Andrea , Bartenbach Christian , Schobersberger Wolfgang
Published: December 2019

High-quality workplace illumination exerts a number of benefits with respect to the employees' productivity as well as the maintenance of a physiological circadian rhythm and well-being. In the present study, two different lighting environments were investigated, one representing a standard lighting design in a window-less office (500 lux, 4000 K), the other providing a variable setup (500–1800 lux, 6500 K). The variable lighting system resulted in the expected effects on parameters of circadian rhythm (e.g. a decreased serum melatonin concentration at the end of each day of the study). However, the test light with its variable intensities and higher color temperature did not turn out to be superior to the regular workplace illumination.
Upper limb and trunk kinematics in tree planters during three load carriage conditions
Authors: Slot Tegan , Shackles Emily , Dumas Geneviève A.
Published: December 2019

Tree planters use various strategies to unload the seedlings from their bags. This study examines differences in upper limb and trunk joint angles during three load carriage conditions: (1) load evenly distributed to the right and left sides of the body – evenly loaded (2) load entirely on the right side – right loaded and (3) load entirely on the left side – left loaded. Data were collected in the field in Northern Ontario. Inertial motion sensors were placed on the right hand, right and left forearms and upper arms, sacrum, and T1 vertebrae. Using relative sensor orientation, joint angles were determined for the right wrist, right and left elbow and the trunk for the three load carriage conditions during normal planting tasks. The main findings were: 1) In the left loaded condition, the right wrist was less extended, the right elbow was more flexed, the trunk experienced less right-rotation, and the right and left forearms were less pronated than in either the evenly loaded or right loaded conditions. 2) In both the left and right loaded conditions, the left forearm was less pronated, and the trunk was less flexed than in the evenly loaded condition. Results suggest that asymmetrical tree load carriage results in more neutral postures than symmetrical tree load carriage.

Authors: Handrigan Grant A. , Power Geoffrey A. , MacKinnon Scott N. , Basset Fabien A.
Published: December 2019

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical characteristics and physiological cost of three standardized pulling tasks. 12 female and 17 male subjects participated in the study. The subjects were instructed to pull a load at three different heights (hip, shoulder, eye – anatomical landmarks defined the end of a pull) at a rate of ten pulls per minute, for a period of ten minutes (one hundred total pulls). The pulls were sub-maximal and chosen to represent a task during a typical 8 hour workday. Statistics: ANOVA statistical analyses with Bonferroni pairwise comparisons were performed to determine significance. Results: Statistical significance was obtained for energy expenditure (Ė), sagittal displacement and twisting velocity. Hip pulling Ė was lower than shoulder pulling Ė (p=0.046) and eye pulling Ė (p=0.002) by 7% and 11%, respectively. Hip pulling involves less sagittal displacement than shoulder (p=0.004) and eye (p=0.001) by 37% and 46%, respectively. Finally, twisting velocity at hip (p=0.042) and shoulder (p=0.006) pulling were 30% and 36% higher than twisting velocity at eye pulling. Conclusion: Physiological data combined with biomechanical data provide a comprehensive description of the demands associated with this standardized pulling task. This combined information assists in risk factor identification and intervention design for tasks involving repetitive upper limb movements.

Authors: Chopp Jaclyn N. , Hunt Shannon , McKean Chris , Dickerson Clark R.
Published: December 2019

Installation of electrical meters is an occupational task that may place utility employees at risk of upper extremity discomfort or disorders. This study focused on identifying the most preferable installation technique from several alternatives using a combination of professional utility employees and experimental subjects. Factors considered included variation in installation height, the use of a hand-held mallet, lubrication applied to the meter and the use of one vs. two hands for installation. Installing meters located above shoulder height resulted in a two-fold increase in both peak and cumulative hand acceleration and pressure. Further, the use of a force-absorbing striking mallet showed significantly lowered peak pressure (60%) compared to other techniques. Peak acceleration and cumulative pressure were significantly lower than other techniques for both experienced and inexperienced subjects when using the mallet. Additionally, the mallet installations had amongst the lowest ratings of perceived exertion across installation types. Thus, the primary recommendations for meter installation with respect to the analyzed scenarios are to use a force-absorbing striking mallet and avoid installations at high locations.

Men and women are created by God worship to Allah. In carrying out his duties as a servant of Allah, armed with advice and guidance in order to avoid a number of irregularities and fraud. Nevertheless, there are several things that distinguish between duties and responsibilities between men and women. If the problem wudhu', tayamum, janabah, and prayer is the same among men and women, then that is different is the issue of menstruation and istihadhah. This study aims to find a variety of issues related to fiqh thaharah and prayers for Muslimah workers and provide a solution to the problem. The approach used in this study is qualitative. The data source is the Muslim workers working in PT. Investama Mandiri genuine, Coventry-Bogor; KPP PMA TWO, Kalibata, South Jakarta; KPP Primary Kebayoran I, Patra Jasa, Central Jakarta; PT.Gunung Agung, Jakarta Centre; Muslim Family Citi Bank, South Jakarta, and KPP PMB, K-Link Tower, Central Jakarta. Results about the perception and understanding of the Muslimah workers in six offices or companies indicated that their perception and understanding of fiqih thaharah and prayers can be said to be good. But regrettably there are two issues related to the knowledge of fiqih thaharah are not understood by the respondents, namely: (1) When the respondent has dried from the menstruation, while they are still working in the office, because it is not available in the office bathroom, they do not pray with unwashed reasons, because there is no bathroom in which to bathe menstruation. And the number of respondents who expressed a very high opinion, 88.25%, (2) the respondents also thought that after they shower menstruation, then there is "something" out of their genitalia yellowish, or brownish, and are part of the blood of menstruation, finally they are not praying, because it was considered that menstruation not dry. Conditions of respondents who express an opinion as much as 69.67% over.

Introduction. Disruption of the extracellular matrix is one of the most important pathological events in the formation of residual changes in lung tissue in tuberculous inflammation.

Аim. Investigation of the dynamics of connective tissue reorganization in lung tuberculosis with a different profile of pathogen resistance to antituberculosis drugs.

Materials and methods. 124 patients with new cases of pulmonary TB: group I (n=84) – patients with multidrugresistant TB; group II (n=40) – patients with pulmonary TB with preserved sensitivity of the pathogen to drugs.

Results. After 3 months of treatment in group I remained 11.9 % bacterial excretion. After 3 months of treatment in group II there was a decrease in the activity of macrophages against the background of the termination of bacterial excretion and a decrease in the levels of MMP‑9, OSS and AS, which indicates a slowdown of the destruction processes against the background of low fibrotic activity. After 3 months of treatment in group I, fibrosis was active, accompanied by an increase in OSS levels and a decrease in OS levels. Slow sputum conversion in group I was accompanied by a slow (8.2 %) decrease in the ratio of MMP‑9 / TIMP‑1 due to further increase in the level of MMP‑9.

Conclusions. In group I, there was a significantly higher activity of the destruction processes, while in group II, there was a lower activity of the fibrotic processes.

SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE PREPARATION: A COMPREHENSIVE INTRODUCTION
Authors: Lamanauskas Vincentas
Published: December 2019

Writing and publishing scientific articles (research, review, position etc. articles) are referred to as responsible academic activities. Any scientist/researcher is somehow involved in scientific writing. Thus, this is a technique assisting the researcher with demonstrating individual performance. Most of the main scientific/research journals are published in English, and therefore scientific information is made internationally available by a wide audience and actually becomes accessible to every scientist and/or researcher. On the other hand, a valid point is that scientific/research journals are published in different national languages. Nevertheless, it should be noted that science policy has recently become one-dimensional and resulting in a blind orientation towards support for scientific/research journals published in English. As noted by Poviliunas and Ramanauskas (2008), national languages face a legitimate risk of becoming domesticated and to one degree or another being excluded from scientific, cultural, education and public areas of life. However, this is material for another discussion.
Aspects of using dictionaries in the process of academic English teaching and acquisition
Authors: Kaminska Iryna
Published: December 2019

In the article, the linguistic characteristics of academic English are considered. The vocabulary and genres of academic English are addressed. The types of dictionaries currently available to university students are defined. It is established that academic language is linguistically diverse across discourses, genres, and disciplines. The variations in academic language demand a range of linguistic skills from students. Learners therefore need access to language tools, notably dictionaries, in their studies.
The analysis of the respective dictionaries demonstrates that none of them is suitable for academic English acquisition. They are too comprehensive in coverage, contain linguistically demanding definitions and offer little encoding information. A need for dictionaries that would meet the students’ demands is defined.

The article considers the problem of the introduction into the educational process of art-therapeutic technologies as a means of psychological and pedagogical adaptation of the individual in the conditions of society globalization. The role of musical art in influencing the emotional and sensual sphere of revealing and development of natural abilities, creative expression of personality is revealed, the expediency of using varieties of music therapy in music-creative activity of younger students is clarified. Music education, vocal therapy, receptive perception of music, rhythm therapy, which contribute to overcoming psychological discomfort in students' educational activities, encourage the creative expression of personality, the child's knowledge of the art world.The education system in Ukraine requires updating and enriching the content of the pedagogical process on the basis of humanization, which will contribute to the full development of the individual, the formation of vital competences for the maximum disclosure of his or her natural inclinations and creative potential. It is in the primary school that the foundations for the formation of the experience of educators (younger students), their needs, which motivate learning, knowledge and skills, which are formed in different educational environment, different social situations and condition the formation of attitude to them, are laid. The state normative document (The Law of
Ukraine "On Education") emphasizes the need for students to acquire key competences that enable the development of successful learning, self-expression, self-knowledge, social adaptation and preservation of their physical and mental state. Such development of education in Ukraine makes it necessary to actively introduce into the
educational process the innovative technologies and modern pedagogical approaches, among which artpedagogy is a new trend that integrates theoretical knowledge and methodological developments in psychology, art and pedagogy. With the help of music, drawing, fairy tales, theatre teachers can unite the class, identify problems of the child in time, form their life values, motivate them to study. The professional activity of a music art teacher in the context of educational reform and the introduction of inclusive education as a form of providing equal access to quality education for children with special educational needs, presupposes the need to master innovative technologies for the use of musical art as a method of comprehensive and multidimensional stimulation of personality development, child's condition, behavioural abnormalities, and also as a form of art treatment.
One of the effective ways of solving the set tasks before the educational industry is the introduction of innovative, art-therapeutic – humanistic-oriented technology in the educational process, which involves the creation of a psychologically-comfortable educational environment by updating the pedagogical potential by means of art

Spermatogenesis can be affected by oxidative stress produced by the increasing of pro-inflammatory adipokines because of high fat diet.The spermatogenesis cells damaged can be prevented with natural substance such as red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus). This study aims to analyze effect of Hylocereus polyrhizus extract on rat’s spermatogenesis cells number that induced by high fat diet. This study had used true-experiment design. 30 rats were divided into 5 groups. Groups 1 to 4 had done treatment for 52 days and group 5 treatment for 104 days. Group 1 Negative control (K1) administered with standard diet, group 2 Positive control (K2) had administered quail egg 10ml/KgBW, group 3 Experiment 1 (P1) had administered quail egg polyrhyzus  10ml/Kg BW and with simvastatin 0,72mg/day, group 4 Experiment 2 (P2) had administered quail egg 10ml/KgBW and wth Hylocereus polyrhizus extract 60mg/day in 52 days, and group 5 Experiment 3 (P3) had administered quail egg 10ml/KgBW and with Hylocereus polyrhizus extract 60mg/day in 104 days. Data were analyzed by One Way ANOVA and continued with Post Hoc Tukey’s HSD (P-Value=0,05) for 52 day groups. Group P1 and P2 showed repairing effect and increasing spermatocytes and spermatids (p.000<0,05) compared to group K2. Group P2 had more spermatids and spermatocytes than group P1 (p.000<0,05). Group P2 52 days’ spermatid cells equalled to group P3 104 days (p.469>0,05). Hylocereus polyrhizus extract not only had mechanism like simvastatin but also contained antioxidant, and a long-term treatment had not proven bad effect to spermatogenesis cells.  Conclusion. Hylocereus polyrhizus extract 60mg/day can repair and increase spermatogenesis cells induced with high fat diet.

The rapid warming of the wolrd’s oceans during the last few decades has affected distributional patterns of marine planktonic communities. Here, we analyse links between sea warming and changes in copepod community composition over the last 3 decades (1980−2012). We used zooplankton time-series data which included 79 species of copepods collected at 3 sites in the eastern North Atlantic (Bay of Biscay and the Kattegat Sea) and the Mediterranean Sea (Gulf of Saronikos). First, using community β-diversity metrics, we analysed temporal patterns of copepod community composition changes over time and its relation to local environmental conditions. Second, to test whether the changes in copepod community composition correspond to community thermal preferences, we used the community temperature index (CTI) and compared CTI interannual changes with local temperature trends. The β-diversity analysis reveals a high temporal turnover in the copepod community composition at the 3 sites (30−45%), with a significant similarity decrease over time (‘decay’) associated with both niche descriptors and demographic stochastic processes. CTI results reveal that both in the Kattegat and Saronikos, where the ocean warming rate was the highest amongst sites, copepod community changes are linked to temperature variability, suggesting that the community is tracking their thermal niche over time. Our findings unveil the fundamental role of abiotic factors structuring copepod biodiversity over time and reveal that the local velocity of ocean warming and the species thermal thresholds are key to rearranging copepod community composition in coastal ecosystems.

Patch clamp recordings carried out in the inside-out configuration revealed activity of three kinds of channels: nonselective cation channels, small-conductance K+ channels, and large-conductance anion channels. The nonselective cation channels did not distinguish between Na+ and K+. The unitary conductance of these channels reached 28 pS in a symmetrical concentration of 200 mM NaCl. A lower value of this parameter was recorded for the small-conductance K+ channels and in a 50-fold gradient of K+ (200 mM/4 mM) it reached 8 pS. The high selectivity of these channels to potassium was confirmed by the reversal potential (-97 mV), whose value was close to the equilibrium potential for potassium (-100 mV). One of the features of the large-conductance anion channels was high conductance amounting to 493 pS in a symmetrical concentration of 200 mM NaCl. The channels exhibited three subconductance levels. Moreover, an increase in the open probability of the channels at voltages close to zero was observed. The anion selectivity of the channels was low, because the channels were permeable to both Cl- and gluconate – a large anion. Research on the calcium dependence revealed that internal calcium activates nonselective cation channels and small-conductance K+ channels, but not large-conductance anion channels.
