Authors: Mansoor Saffar , Sharma Rajeev , Dhakal Sophia
Published: June 2024

Comparative study on in vitro evaluations (hardness, friability, weight variation, assay, disintegration, and dissolution tests) of marketed pantoprazole tablets (2 batches of each) from WHO GMP certified Nepalese companies (encoded with BP-02-A1, BP-02-A2), non-GMP certified Nepalese companies (encoded with BP-02-B1, BP-02-B2), and multinational companies (encoded with BP-02-C1, BP-02-C2) were done. The result of hardness, friability, weight variation, and assay and disintegration tests of all marketed products comply with pharmacopoeial limit. However, BP-02-A2 showed the fastest disintegration. Moreover, the comparison of percentage drug release of these companies on the basis of dissolution study demonstrated that BP-02-A2 (90 % drug release) complied best with standard RDRL protocol while BP-02-B2 (78% drug release) does not comply with above specification.
Seismic Performance of Traditional Unreinforced Masonry Building in Nepal
Authors: Khadka Shyam Sundar
Published: June 2024

The paper focused on the old traditional buildings, which were constructed more than 100 years ago. Some of these buildings were partially destroyed in 1934 AD earthquake and some of them survived without substantial damage. These unreinforced brick masonry buildings are vulnerable to seismic hazard especially when they are un-reinforced and constructed without special consideration of seismic design. These building are extensively being used and occupied by different governmental and public offices. These buildings were built with best available material during the time of construction with best available technology. However, their seismic resistances are intrinsically limited. Since, at that time no codes were available and no advanced materials of construction like concrete and steel were available, it is assumed that those buildings were made based upon the traditional knowledge and technology. A finite element analysis is carried out in order to reflect the characteristics of the unreinforced masonry (URM) building. A commercial software SAP2000 is used for the analysis. It is found that the existing forms of the buildings are highly vulnerable for future earthquake. For reducing the excessive out-of – plane deformation of the URM building, the loosely connected timber floor should be replaced by the rigid floor or increase the rigidity of the existing floor. Inadequate number of the existing cross wall which makes the large size of the rooms, long unsupported walls and loosely connected existing timber floor are the main drawbacks of the existing form of building. Due to the less number of cross wall connected with longitudinal walls and also the longitudinal direction of the building is more than five times larger than the transverse direction, the whole building cannot acts as a single unit and the longitudinal and transverse walls behaves independently and leads to failure during the earthquake.

Isolation and Characterization of Arsenic Resistant Pseudomonas Stutzeri ASP3 for its Potential in Arsenic Resistance and Removal
Authors: Shakya Sangita , Pradhan B.
Published: June 2024

Inorganic arsenic both arsenite As (III) and arsenate As (V) constitute the highest toxicological risk associated with arsenic in drinking water. Novel methods are in demand for its removal from water, especially in rural areas. For this purpose, the potential of different microbes in arsenic resistance and removal from water has gained interests worldwide. This study investigates the arsenic resistance and removal capacity of a bacterial strain isolated from arsenic enriched water of Rautahat district in Nepal. The concentration of arsenic was by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The isolated bacterium showed high resistance to sodium arsenate up to 4,680.15 mg/l and sodium arsenite up to 649.55 mg/l. The bacterium also conferred multiple heavy metal resistance to zinc chloride (136.28 mg/l), copper sulphate (249.68 mg/l), mercuric chloride (5.43 mg/l) and silver nitrate (3.39 mg/l). The growth rate calculated in the presence of 129.01 mg/l of sodium arsenite was 0.35 h-1 with doubling time of 1.96 h. The strain showed growth in the range of 25–45 °C (optimum 30-35 °C), pH 6 – 9 (optimum 7.5-8.5) and tolerated up to 10% of NaCl. The PCR-based 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed that the isolated As resistant bacterium is a close relative to P. stutzeri (99%) with 30 hits. The bacterium removed 82.97 % of As (V) and 49.4% of As (III) from culture medium amended with 200 mg/l sodium arsenate and 74.92 mg/l of sodium arsenite respectively.

Русско-израильская литература и «чудовищный двойник» (случай Зиновия Зиника)
Authors: Katsman Roman
Published: June 2024

В статье предлагается модель, позволяющая по-новому взглянуть на тексты русско-израильской литературы как репрезентации сложных психокультурных процессов репатриации. Модель основывается на философско-антропологических теориях Рене Жирара и Эрика Ганса. Ее применение представляется, в частности, полезным при изучении литературы алии 70-х годов, а также литературы «транзита» — авторов, после некоторого времени уехавших из Израиля. В качестве примера в статье рассматривается случай Зиновия Зиника на материале некоторых из его произведений.
Le fantastique dans les romans d’Ananda Devi
Authors: Szkonter-Bochniak Anna
Published: June 2024

In the article, the author analyses the fantasy elements noticeable in some of Ananda Devi’s novels. In her first novels as well as in her recent ones, the writer resorts to solutions from the fantasy genre. In L’Arbre fouet, Moi, l’interdite, La Vie de Joséphin le Fou, Pagli, Soupir, Indian tango, Les Jours vivants, Manger l’autre and in Le Jour des caméléons, the Mauritian novelist presents mysterious incipits and open-ended, dreamlike endings, introduces hybridised, often insane characters half animal half human, describes metamorphoses and transformations of man into animal, mentions imaginary sobriquets, ghosts. The aim of the analysis is also to try to explain for what purpose the writer uses fantasy in her work. In the analysis, the author also draws on the research of T. Todorov, P.-G. Castex, L. Vax and V. Tritter.
Points North: African Canadian History for the Twenty-First Century
Authors: Mathieu Sarah-Jane (Saje)
Published: June 2024

When Robin Winks’ Blacks in Canada hit stores fifty years ago, critics heaped scorn on the idea of there being such a thing as African Canadian history – never mind a history worth telling. In the decades since, African Canadian history has blossomed from a topic that seemed the work of a curious few, to a field that has secured some of the highest awards and praise in Canadian history. This article explores the slippery uses of African American and African Canadian histories; Black Canadian historiography; critics of the canon; remaining gaps in the field; and new scholarship by some of the scholars – both the young and the seasoned – who are breaking new ground in African Canadian history. It also discusses podcasts, documentaries, websites, and television productions about African Canadian history.
CONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF WATER QUALITY WITH THE BIOLOGICAL CLEANING METHOD
Authors: Ushkarenko V. , Chaban V. , Kyrychenko K. , Sokol А.
Published: June 2024

Many organizations, especially the IMO (International Maritime Organization), began to conduct research on the dangerous impact of polluted waters on public health. Therefore, these waters undergo purification, after regeneration they are returned to circulation, and only after the impossibility of regeneration has been determined, they are averaged and transferred to factory treatment facilities and disposed of.

Methods of cleaning polluted industrial waters can be combined into the following groups: mechanical, physical, physico-mechanical, chemical, physico-chemical, biological, complex. The method of purifying sewage and reservoir water from toxicants using the eichhornia plant differs in that, before water purification, the toxicant that limits the purification process is first determined, and then, before planting in the water to be purified, the eichhornia plant is moved into a solution of the toxicant, which is administered in small doses with by adding a plant growth stimulator and/or an oxidation catalyst that limits toxicants, and the cleaning is carried out in a state of rest of water, movement or bubbling with water vapor and/or air with a temperature from 2 to 50°.
Status prawny uzdrowiska jako determinanta szczególnego i odrębnego reżimu planistycznego w gminie uzdrowiskowej – zagadnienia wybrane
Authors: Jachimowicz-Jankowska Paulina
Published: June 2024

Uzdrowisko jest wydzielonym obszarem – lub jego częścią – gminy uzdrowiskowej, na terenie którego prowadzone jest lecznictwo uzdrowiskowe. W celu wykorzystania i ochrony znajdujących się na tym obszarze naturalnych surowców leczniczych, spełniających określone ustawowo warunki, charakteryzuje się on szczególnym charakterem prawnym. Jednymi z prawnych determinant ochronnego reżimu uzdrowiska są niewątpliwie odrębności planistyczne. Wiążą się one bowiem z kształtowaniem specyficznego i odrębnego porządku prawnego na tym obszarze, który nie występuje w typowej gminie. Polega na tworzeniu swoistych stref ochronnych, nazwanych przez ustawodawcę jako strefy ochrony uzdrowiskowej z ich podziałem na A, B i C, które służą ochronie środowiska i ważnej z punktu widzenia prowadzonego lecznictwa uzdrowiskowego, ochronie zdrowia. Strefy te to wydzielony obszar, na którym ustanawiane są przepisy kształtujące zasady korzystania z tych terenów i sposoby określonego zachowania się w nich poprzez ustanowienie licznych zakazów i nakazów dla różnych grup adresatów. Ich tworzenie jest natomiast jedną z metod kształtowania i gospodarowania przestrzenią gminy uzdrowiskowej. Dodatkowo ustawodawca nałożył na te podmioty obowiązek sporządzenia i uchwalenia miejscowego planu zagospodarowania przestrzennego dla strefy A, co pozwala stwierdzić, że to status prawny uzdrowiska determinuje odrębny i szczególny reżim inwestycyjno-budowlany na tym obszarze. Celem artykułu jest analiza i ocena regulacji prawnych dotyczących dwóch instytucji służących zachowaniu funkcji leczniczej uzdrowiska jakimi są: strefy ochrony uzdrowiskowej i miejscowy plan zagospodarowania przestrzennego dla strefy A. W opracowaniu posłużono się metodą dogmatyczno-prawną i zaprezentowano szeroki wybór literatury i orzecznictwa.
Glosa do wyroku Sądu Najwyższego z 17 sierpnia 2022 r., sygn. akt II CSKP 58/2 (glosa częściowo aprobująca). Warunki dopuszczalności cesji roszczeń powstałych z wykonywania zobowiązań o charakterze publicznoprawnym
Authors: Zięty Jakub Jan
Published: June 2024

Przedmiotem glosy jest analiza wyroku Sądu Najwyższego wydanego w sprawie powództwa o wyrównanie różnicy pomiędzy dotacją należną a kwotą jaka została wypłacona podmiotowi dotowanemu. Celem prezentowanej glosy jest prezentacja stanowisk judykatury odnośnie charakteru prawego dotacji i jego wpływu na charakter prawny roszczenia o jej wyrównanie lub odszkodowanie. Na podstawie ustalonego charakteru prawnego roszczenia, możliwe było sformułowanie wniosku o dopuszczalności lub braku dopuszczalności cesji roszczenia w drodze umowy cywilnoprawnej lub wskazania ewentualnych warunków na jakich może to nastąpić. W głosowanym orzeczeniu Sąd Najwyższy analizował charakter prawny wniesionego roszczenia uznając, że jest on zależny od jego treści roszczenia sformułowanego przez powoda. Doktryna i orzecznictwo wskazuje na odmienny charakter roszczenia o zapłatę nieotrzymanej części dotacji i roszczenia o zapłatę kwoty odpowiadającej nieotrzymanej części dotacji. Pierwszemu z nich przypisuje się charakter roszczenia publicznoprawnego, zaś drugiemu roszczenia cywilnoprawnego (odszkodowawczego).  Każde z tych dwóch stanowisk wiąże się z odmiennymi skutkami w sferze dopuszczalności cesji roszczenia. Zakładając, że co do zasady cesja ma charakter cywilnoprawny, jest ona dopuszczalna. Sąd Najwyższy widząc właśnie powyższą zasadę dostrzega również i jej ograniczenia wskazane w art. 509 Kodeksu cywilnego. W szczególności natura stosunku podstawowego może mieć wpływ na dopuszczalność cesji na podstawie wskazanego wyżej przepisu.
Samobójstwo rozszerzone, zabójstwo suicydalne a samobójstwo poagresyjne – ocena stanu psychicznego sprawców i jej prawnokarne znaczenie
Authors: Romańczuk-Grącka Marta
Published: June 2024

Koncepcja „samobójstwa rozszerzonego” kładzie nacisk na samobójstwo sprawcy, lekceważąc perspektywę pokrzywdzonego, bagatelizując jego rzeczywistą krzywdę, na którą wbrew nazwie nie wyraził on zgody. Dlatego też pojęcie to należy zastępować pojęciem zabójstwa suicydalnego albo samobójstwa poagresyjnego.
Celem opracowania jest wskazanie kryteriów różnicujących pojęcia „samobójstwo rozszerzone”, „samobójstwo-zabójstwo” i „samobójstwo poagresyjne”, a także prawnokarna ocena zachowania sprawcy każdej z wymienionych form aktu. Do elementów subiektywnych składających się na kryteria różnicujące to pojęcie zalicza się nastawienie psychiczne sprawcy do popełnionego czynu wraz z psychopatologicznym podłożem decyzji o zamordowaniu drugiej osoby i odebraniu sobie życia przez sprawcę suicydenta.
W przypadku zabójstw suicydalnych dominuje motywacja altruistyczna, a akt następuje wskutek zaburzeń poznawczych (urojeń) typowych dla depresji. Samobójstwa poagresyjne charakteryzują się motywacją negatywną (np. zemsta), a decyzja sprawcy najczęściej opiera się na zaburzeniach osobowości lub uzależnieniu. Wśród elementów przedmiotowych różniących oba pojęcia pojawia się rodzaj relacji pomiędzy sprawcą a ofiarą. W przypadku zabójstwa suicydalnego powszechnie określa się je jako poprawne lub nawet bardzo dobre, a zabójstwo nie jest poprzedzone przemocą. W przypadku samobójstwa poagresyjnego zabójstwo lub inny czyn często wynika z zastosowanej i stopniowo nasilanej przemocy.
Tax amendments in times of crises in Poland and Czech Republic – selected legal aspects
Authors: Mariański Michał , Radvan Michal
Published: June 2024

This publication is a fragment of research within the framework of broadly understood comparative tax law. The aim of this publication is to show the response of both the Polish and Czech legislators to the economic crises causedby the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. The methodology used in the article is related to the comparative legal method, the historical-descriptive method and the dogmatic method. The methodology in the article is chosen to show if the described different legal solutions may constitute an interesting reference to other EU countries as an example of the possible response to thefuture economic crisis. The purpose of this publication is also to indicate whether the analyzed countries decided to increase or reduce the tax burden and what the effectiveness of the selected legislative actions. In the conclusions, the authors indicate, among others that the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine were for many countries a justification for changes in tax law, but the effectiveness of these actions remains at least questionable. Therefore, from the point of view of fiscal stability, in times of economic crises, appropriate solutions should always refer to the principle of legal certainty and long-termeconomic analysis of the effectiveness of a given amendment. This publication is, therefore, an incentive to reflect on the state of new regulations and conceptsof tax law implemented in response to the economic crisis and constitute an element of a broader discussion on the impact of tax regulations on the behaviour of taxpayers and the state budget.
Klimatyczne spory sądowe. Globalny fenomen w prawnej ochronie klimatu
Authors: Stoczkiewicz Marcin
Published: June 2024

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie globalnego fenomenu klimatycznych sporów sądowych (climate litigation), w tym definicji oraz typologii takich sporów oraz ich podstawowej charakterystyki. Termin ten jest zwykle rozumiany jako sprawy przed organami sądowymi i quasi-sądowymi, w których podnoszona jest istotna kwestia faktyczna lub prawna dotycząca łagodzenia zmiany klimatu, adaptacji do zmiany klimatu lub nauki o zmianach klimatycznych. Liczba tak rozumianych postępowań stale rośnie (w 2022 r. było ich 2180 w 65 jurysdykcjach).   Jest to już obecnie zjawisko o charakterze globalnym, dające się odnotować na sześciu kontynentach, przejawiające się w sporach na poziomach międzynarodowym, regionalnym i krajowym. Można zatem zaproponować ich typologię na klimatyczne spory sądowe na forach: (i) międzynarodowych, (ii) regionalnych oraz (iii) krajowych. Pochodną rozróżniającego kryterium właściwego sądu (forum) jest najczęściej właściwe prawo, którego dotyczy spór (międzynarodowe, tworzone przez organizacje regionalne lub krajowe). Klimatyczne spory sądowe nie są sporami dotyczącymi wyłącznie interpretacji i stosowania prawa klimatycznego. Dla celów ochrony klimatu w sporach tych wykorzystywane są normy różnych obszarów prawa.
Czy potrzebujemy art. 135 § 2 Kodeksu karnego? Kilka uwag na marginesie glosy Jana Kuleszy, Wolność wypowiedzi contra godność urzędu Prezydenta RP. Glosa do wyroku Sądu Apelacyjnego w Warszawie z 30.09.2022 r., sygn. akt II Aka 110/22, „Przegląd Sądowy” 2023, nr 4, s. 94–100
Authors: Chlebowicz Piotr
Published: June 2024

Tekst zawiera polemikę z glosą J. Kuleszy umieszczoną na łamach Przeglądu Sądowego 4/2023. Autor polemiki krytycznie odniósł się do argumentacji J. Kuleszy, który pozytywnie ocenił umorzenie postępowania karnego w oparciu o przesłankę znikomej społecznej szkodliwości czynu. Po pierwsze, trudno się zgodzić z wywodem sądu, że w kontekście wszystkich okoliczności sprawy J. Ż – publicysty i pisarza, użycie słowa „debil” nie stanowi zniewagi, gdyż należy brać pod uwagę całą wypowiedź nie zaś obraźliwe słowo. Użycie słowa „debil” stanowiło bowiem integralny element całej wypowiedzi. Po drugie zdaniem Autora polemiki, glosa J. Kuleszy dotknęła problemu dekryminalizacji art. 135 § 2 k.k. Praktyka sądowa niechętnie stosuje ten przepis, umorzenia spraw na podstawie negatywnej przesłanki procesowej może świadczyć o faktycznej dekryminalizacji. W tekście zaznaczono, że być może istnieje potrzeba badań z zakresu socjologii prawa dotyczącego percepcji przepisu art. 135 § 2 k.k. w środowisku prawników praktyków.

Celem niniejszej publikacji jest wykazanie, że rozszerzenie i doprecyzowanie wymagań kwalifikacyjnych dla kierowników niepublicznych podmiotów leczniczych na podstawie art. 46 ust. 2 ustawy o działalności leczniczej jest konieczne. Formułując postulaty de lege ferenda, należy wskazać, że zarówno art. 46 ust. 2 ww. ustawy, jak i Rozporządzenie Ministra Zdrowia w sprawie sposobu przeprowadzania konkursu na niektóre stanowiska kierownicze w podmiocie leczniczym niebędącym przedsiębiorcą powinny zostać rozszerzone o kierowników podmiotów leczniczych będących przedsiębiorcami. Ponadto art. 46 ust. 2 ustawy o działalności leczniczej wymaga doprecyzowania w sposób niebudzący wątpliwości interpretacyjnych co do rozumienia doświadczenia i wiedzy kandydatów na kierowników podmiotów leczniczych. Wprowadzenie proponowanych zmian legislacyjnych poprawiłoby przejrzystość funkcjonowania i poziom zarządzania w szeroko rozumianym systemie ochrony zdrowia niezależnie od charakteru konkretnej placówki.
Digital Markets and Digital Services: A New Stage of the EU Internal Market Regulation
Authors: Revenko L. S , Revenko N. S
Published: June 2024

The article explores the EU Digital Markets Law and Digital Services Law adopted in the fall of 2022. The new legislative framework aims to control large digital platforms and search engines that have become market dominant and abuse their power by discriminating against third–party businesses, and to make online platforms and intermediaries more accountable. The authors provide examples of troubling practices by such companies. The provisions of the first document apply to the socalled gatekeepers, which include service providers that have become gateways between businesses and end users and for this reason have a significant impact on the EU internal market, of the second one – to providers of intermediary services qualified as mere conduit, caching and hosting services. A separate group includes very large online platforms and search engines. The laws set quantitative thresholds for companies subject to the laws. They contain lists of rights and responsibilities of such companies. The laws caused conflicting responses. One group of experts supports them, believing that they will solve many problems faced by businesses and ordinary users. Other researchers argue that new laws were not necessary and existing legal framework should have been improved. They also criticize certain provisions of the laws. The authors conclude that the laws correspond to the current market reality, but their application changes the competition environment.
Memory of Colonial Crimes in Belgium
Authors: Andreeva A. A , Drozhashchikh N. V , Nelaeva G. A
Published: June 2024

The article explores Belgium as a case-study of the phenomenon of “colonial amnesia” in the EU. Contemporary discourse on European history includes the Holocaust and Communism as central and unifying themes, while colonialism is determined as a distinct phenomenon. Despite its official condemnation, European states attitude towards colonialism differ. The authors argue that European states tend to avoid responsibility for the colonial-era atrocities and even deny their involvement. At the same time, public discussions over the silencing of colonial crimes are fueled by research that implicates European states in (post)colonial violence and negatively impacts their reputation on the international arena. Concerns over their international image forces the European countries to publicly apologise for their past. In 2022 the subject-matter of public apologies in Belgium was colonial violence committed by Belgians against the Congolese, as well as the events of the early 1960s, which led to the murder of Congolese Prime-Minister Patrice Lumumba, allegedly condoned by the Belgian government. Under the public pressure, former colonial powers are forced to at least “turn over” the painful page of their past in order to normalize relations with the former colonies. Using critical discourse-analysis and qualitative and quantitative content-analysis, authors analyze the apologies addressed to the DRC by Belgium authorities in the period of 2002‒2022. The article concludes that these statements are meant to frame Belgium’s responsibility exclusively in terms of morality by acknowledging the “wrong moral choices”.

The computer module of the KDAM program for determining the kinematic and dynamic parameters of the connecting rod and rocker arm group of mechanisms of light industry machines allows you to determine the coordinates, velocity projections and accelerations of the center of mass of the connecting rod, rocker arm and the point of attachment of the links of the Asura groups to the connecting rod and rocker arm. During the dynamic analysis of the operation of the connecting rod and rocker arm group, the projections of the total reaction in the joints between the crank and the connecting rod, between the connecting rod and the rocker arm, and between the rocker arm and the fixed support are determined. The obtained results are used in the program to assess the intensity of technological processes of the light and textile industry when determining the change in the relative tension of the thread in the filling zones on the technological equipment. The development of a computer module for kinematic and dynamic analysis of lever mechanisms of light industry machines, which include connecting rod and rocker arm groups, allows to determine the parameters used in the program for assessing the intensity of technological processes of the light and textile industry when determining the change in the relative tension of the thread in the filling zones on the technological equipment Kinematic and dynamic analysis of flat mechanisms, which include connecting rod-rocker groups, plays a significant role in the design of new mechanisms and modernization of existing ones. The results of these studies can be used to calculate the strength of individual links, their inertial characteristics, optimization of structural parameters of mechanisms, and minimization of consumed energy. The objective function in the problem is the minimum necessary tension, which is the minimum sum of the angles covered by the thread of guide surfaces that have a cylindrical, elliptical shape, discrete segments of a straight line. The use of a computer program allows you to determine tensions and changes in relative tension in the filling zones of light and textile industry machines, which allows you to optimize the shape of the thread supply line even at the stage of designing the technological process. Thus, the topic of this article is relevant, which is important for assessing the intensity of technological processes of the light and textile industry when determining the change in the relative tension of the thread in the filling zones on the technological equipment.

Published: June 2024

Social media has a vital role in general elections in Indonesia because social media is one of the platforms used by presidential candidates for campaigns to gain public support. General elections in Indonesia occur every five years. Many tweets talk about presidential candidates approaching the national election period.

This article compares the voltage drop on Lead-acid and Lithium-ion batteries used as an energy source for electric scooters. An experiment was conducted with five electric scooter users weighing 60.25 Kg, 70.60 Kg, 83.20 Kg, 95.40 Kg, and 103.75 kg to obtain data on voltage drop. Each user of this electric scooter carried out three experiments by circling about 1.07 Km at the Politeknik Negeri Bali area. This study proves that the voltage drop on the Lead-acid and Lithium-Ion batteries has a linear relationship to the weight of an electric scooter user with a 36V 400-watt BLDC motor load. The linear equation has an intercept value of -1.36766 and a slope value of 0.04791 for the Lead-acid battery. In contrast, the linear equation has an intercept value of -2.47064 and a slope value of 0.05417 for Lithium ion batteries. The average voltage drop across lead acid is 25% higher than that across Lithium-ion.

Published: June 2024

The rise of big data and multimodal content—from text and images to videos and audio—demands sophisticated data management and analysis techniques, particularly in intelligent environments. This paper addresses the challenges of managing and analyzing multimodal data within complex Entity-Relationship (ER) models, often structured in normalized forms to enhance efficiency and scalability. We delve into relational learning, emphasizing the integration and manipulation of data tables in third normal form, and explore how these are processed through feature extraction techniques into Machine Learning (ML) models. Central to our study is the use of the propositionalization algorithm, Wordification, a method that facilitates the straightforward application of general ML algorithms and supports specialized algorithms like PropDRM and PropStar, designed for multi-relational data mining. This research aims to showcase the efficacy of our automated Wordification method for feature extraction, contrasting it with traditional manual approaches. Our findings indicate that propositionalization significantly simplifies the application of ML algorithms to relational learning, enhancing the processing of multimodal data in intelligent environments. This method significantly improves efficiency and scalability, proving beneficial for rapid deployment and the enhancement of social intelligence through more effective data analysis.

Experience of using evaporative cooling of graphitized electrodes to reduce their consumption in ore smelting furnaces
Authors: Bystrov M. V. , Yachikov I. M. , Vlasov S. A
Published: June 2024

Consumable graphitized electrodes (GE) are widely used for supplying current to AC and DC EAF's, ore-smelting and indirectly heated electric arc furnaces. Due to large current, thermal and mechanical loads, their consumption in the structure of the cost of smelting in some cases, for example, in steel smelting reaches 30 %. Considering this, as well as the unstable global economic situation, when many enterprises use imported electrodes, solving the issue of reducing them is urgent. Foreign-made arc steel furnaces with a capacity of 100 tons and more successfully use evaporative cooling (EC) technology. Its use leads to a reduction in graphite consumption by an average of 10–15 %. However, for ore-thermal furnaces, no data on the experience of using EC GE has been found in the literature. The purpose of the work is to study the possibility of reducing the temperature and consumption of GE in arc ore-smelting furnaces when using EC technology. Experimental studies were carried out at the enterprise PC “AVISMA” (Berezniki), which includes three ore-smelting furnaces with a capacity of 100 tons. For the graphite electrodes used in these furnaces, modeling of their thermal state was performed with and without EC. Rational technological parameters of the cooling process were determined: water flow 1.5 m3/h and system turn-on time 5–15 minutes from the start of the current supply. An experimental design of the EC ring and a system for monitoring water and air flow have been developed. As a result of several heats, a decrease in the surface temperature of the GE was recorded when using EC with water on its side surface and a number of shortcomings were identified. Recommendations for improving technology and improving the design of the AI system are formulated
