Published: August 2022

The viscoelastic properties of polyamide 11 samples were modified by subjecting these specimens to multifunction cavitation within a magnetic field, using a device equipped with a 0.1 mm water jet nozzle. During these trials, a magnetic field was applied to the entire water jet stream while varying the distance between the nozzle and the specimen. The effects of various processing conditions were assessed by monitoring the removal of ink applied to sample surfaces. The results obtained using this technique with and without a magnetic field were also evaluated.

The landraces and wild species wisely choose their microbiome and explored them as a second genome for nutrient acquisition from the limited resources of the soil ecosystem and can withstand drought and diseases. Hence, the present study aimed to explore the drought-tolerant rice landrace of Tamil Nadu for the putative competitive endophytes to develop a plant-growth-promoting endophytic bacterial inoculant. Twenty two putative competitive endophytes were authenticated from plant tissues and seeds of Norungan. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that Norungan rice was colonized predominantly by Firmicutes, including six species of Bacillus, four species of Priestia, and one species each of Micrococcus, Geobacillus, and Lysinibacillus, along with two Proteobacteria, Enterobacter cloacae and Kosakonia oryzae. These endophytes were screened for nutrient transformation, growth hormone production, drought mitigation, and antagonism against plant pathogens. Bacillus cereus NE07, B. paralicheniformis NE18, B. subtilis NE20, and Priestia flexa NE09 showed potential nutrient-transforming capability, while Bacillus cereus NE07 and Priestia flexa NE09 showed high plant growth hormones (indole-3-acetic acid and gibberellic acid production). Similarly, Bacillus cereus NE07 and Priestia endophytica (NE14) showed high ACC deaminase, proline accumulation, biofilm production, and potential candidates for drought mitigation. Bacillus hayneshii NE04 and Priestia aryabhattai NE10, and Bacillus cereus NE07 showed antagonism against fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani and bacterial leaf blight causing Xanthomonas oryzae. The results confirmed that no single strain with all plant-growth-promoting and stress-mitigating traits found in Norungan, and these strains were performed division of labor basis. Hence, developing a putative competitive endophytic bacterial consortium with compatible strains representing cumulative beneficial traits as inoculants would be a novel approach for improving rice productivity

Published: August 2022

Periodontal suturing beyond the surgical elements it provides precedes the selection of the type of suture versus the fact that it is manipulated with periodontal soft tissue. This fact is the basic element in the selection of the type of suture indicated for use and the way of suturing, which in the periodontal surgeon with experience is performed instinctively without thinking. The article is of the review type, bringing a summary of the published data about the suturing method needed for the periodontal application. Conclusion: The type of suture indicated as a primary indication has a clinical case that is indicated based on clinical diagnosis, but the selection of suture type depending on the material or needle is performed based on the clinical area conditioned by minimal manipulation space and the possibility of laceration of periodontal tissue.
Carrera académica y asimetrí­as de género en el CONICET, Argentina (2004-2018)
Authors: Gallardo Osvaldo
Published: August 2022

El artí­culo analiza algunos aspectos de la carrera académica de investigadores e investigadoras del CONICET, una de las principales instituciones cientí­ficas argentinas. Para ello se examina la trayectoria de los/las investigadores/as en actividad en 2020 a partir de variables como la posición y la velocidad a través de la carrera del organismo, la jerarquí­a de los cargos docentes en universidades del paí­s, indicadores agregados de publicación, y el sexo (como indicador aproximado de asimetrí­as de género). Además de una caracterización general, se pone el foco en dos segmentos de la población, el conjunto de quienes ingresaron a CONICET en 2004-2006 (1242 casos) y el de quienes lo hicieron en 2016-2018 (1681 casos), momentos muy diferentes en la historia reciente del campo cientí­fico-universitario argentino. Los resultados permiten cuantificar las asimetrí­as en el acceso a posiciones jerárquicas y en los indicadores de publicación, tenues al inicio de la carrera, pero tendientes a profundizarse con el paso del tiempo. También se pone de relieve que tales asimetrí­as no operan con la misma intensidad en las áreas y comisiones disciplinares que materializan la cultura evaluativa del CONICET, presentándose así­ un panorama de marcada heterogeneidad.
Aborto, género, comunismo y Dios: la lucha provida de jóvenes líderes en redes sociodigitales
Authors: Paz González Erick Adrián
Published: August 2022

Este trabajo muestra los resultados del análisis exploratorio realizado para mi tesis de doctorado. El objetivo es mostrar los principales temas que 11 líderes provida, pertenecientes a seis organizaciones interrelacionadas, abordan a través de las redes sociodigitales en un periodo que va desde el inicio del confinamiento por la covid-19 en marzo de 2020 hasta julio de 2021.
Para ello, se eligieron perfiles de jóvenes que se identificaran a sí mismos como provida y cuyas actividades iniciaran o se potenciaran a partir de la contingencia. Estos resaltan de otros perfiles provida con características similares por el número de seguidores e interacciones. A partir de ello, se realizó un análisis de tópicos para identificar los temas más relevantes, agruparlos y vincularlos. De esta forma, se encontró que existían tres grandes ejes: la relevancia de elementos religiosos, la lucha contra el feminismo y la lucha contra lo que se ha construido como la ideología de género, es decir, su eje discursivo versa en la dupla religión y género. El resto de los tópicos se relacionan con estos tres, lo que permite conocer el orden de sus discursos.
La relevancia de este análisis radica en el rápido crecimiento de los liderazgos juveniles provida que abanderan discursos que se oponen directamente a los temas de género: diversidad sexual, matrimonio no tradicional (al que llaman matrimonio gay), feminismo, aborto y educación sexo-genérica. En ellos, se vislumbran discursos religiosos que sustentan tales oposiciones y que se han vuelto constantes.
Reincorporando la religión en la comprensión de la cohesión social en Latinoamérica
Authors: Cáceres Ignacio
Published: August 2022

Latinoamérica ha experimentado modificaciones sustantivas en los principales componentes de su matriz histórico-cultural, sobre la cual descansa parte de su capacidad para mantener unidas a sus sociedades. El panorama religioso, pasando de un monopolio del catolicismo a dinámicas pluralistas, constituye uno de estos cambios profundos. Si bien este proceso se fue desarrollando paulatinamente a lo largo de todo el siglo XX, durante las últimas dos décadas se ha dinamizado, cambiando el panorama religioso en los países de la región, aunque con diferencias importantes entre ellos. Esta transformación puede implicar una erosión de las creencias y vínculos en los que se basa la cohesión, pero al mismo tiempo puede dinamizar la sociedad civil y la participación política, integrando nuevos sectores de la población e incorporando mayores niveles de pluralidad. Este artículo propone una agenda de investigación amplia en torno al impacto que el cambio en la matriz religiosa latinoamericana tiene sobre las distintas dimensiones de la cohesión social, destacando la multidimensionalidad y la importancia de considerar la relación entre diferentes niveles de análisis.

The authors’ research is aimed at solving current problems of technological renewal and development of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine.This research was supported and funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine under grant No 0121U108589 «Development of a complex of energy-efficient and resource-saving equipment and promising technologies for feeding farm animals of the AIC of Ukraine».The efficiency of animal husbandry directly depends on the conditions of keeping animals, in which ensuring an optimal microclimate is extremely important. Thus, the productivity of animals by 10-30% is determined by the microclimate of the premises. Deviation of microclimate parameters from the established limits leads to reduction of milk yield by 10-20%, increase in live weight – by 20-33%, increase in young animals – up to 5-40%, reduction of egg production hens – by 30-35%, the cost of the additional feed, reducing the service life of machinery, equipment and buildings themselves, reducing the resistance of animals to disease. In turn, ensuring an optimal microclimate in livestock facilities is associated with significant costs of heat and electricity, which costs up to 15% of producers. During the heating period, heat generating devices of livestock facilities for various purposes consume up to 90% of the total cost of fuel and energy resources and even a partial reduction of these costs will significantly reduce energy costs for production, and thus reduce its cost. The ever-increasing cost of energy complicates the situation and exacerbates the problem of implementing energy-saving technologies, as well as highlights the economic problem of reducing specific energy consumption for livestock production.The purpose of research is to increase the efficiency of the microclimate in pig farms by using an automated control system with reasonable regime parameters. To achieve this goal it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to analyze the technical and technological support of the microclimate in livestock facilities; to carry out research of parameters of a microclimate in a pigsty and identify areas for improvement of the system to ensure it; to determine the influence of design and regime parameters of the automated system of microclimate in the pigsty on its energy efficiency and uniformity of temperature distribution in the building.The method of theoretical research is mathematical modeling of the process of functioning of the automated system for ensuring the normative parameters of the microclimate in livestock facilities based on the provisions of heat engineering and aerodynamics using numerical calculation methods. The Mathematica computer mathematics system was used to simplify the obtained expressions and mathematical modeling.
CRIMINAL AND LEGAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ORGANIZED GROUP AND CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION
Authors:   Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs, Ukraine, Shevchenko Taisіya
Published: August 2022

Over the past two years, Ukraine has seen a negative trend in the level of organized crime. In order to reduce the level of organized crime, a number of measures have been taken, namely in 2020 the Strategy for Combating Organized Crime was approved, international experience in combating organized crime is being actively introduced, and the Criminal Code of Ukraine has been amended. However, organized crime has a higher degree of public danger than other types of crime, so much attention is paid to measures to combat organized crime. One of the measures to counter is to eliminate the causes and conditions of organized crime. Along with other types of determinants of organized crime is the improvement of national legislation by improving it and eliminating gaps and conflicts of law.The article analyzes Part 2 and Part 3 of Art. 28 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. To clarify all the circumstances of the practical application of the form of complicity, which is provided for in Part 2 and Part 3 of Art. 28 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine conducted a review of judicial practice. Thus, the theoretical definition of an organized group and a criminal organization is not always successfully combined with the practical application of this concept, which in turn leads to retraining in court to a simple group of complicity with prior conspiracy and/or division of roles, so the study is relevant today. Despite numerous studies on the interpretation, interpretation of the concept of organized group or criminal organization as the most complex and dangerous form of complicity, there is still confusion with the exact qualifications that need to be clarified.The purpose of the article was to conduct a comprehensive study of the law on criminal liability to determine a complex form of complicity – an organized group and a criminal organization. To this end, a distinction is made between related concepts: organized group and criminal organization from a group of persons by prior agreement. Based on the analysis of the current criminal law, interpretation of its norms, case law and previous research, the relevant conclusions were made to improve the criminal law to determine the organized group and criminal organization. A new approach to defining the institution of complicity in the Criminal Code of Ukraine is proposed.The use of theoretical methods, the essence of which is to explain the terminology of complicity, to establish regular connections between different forms of complicity, helped to achieve the goal of the study.
COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE AND PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS OF ITS FORMATION OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS OF AGRARIAN SECTOR
Authors:   Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, Ukraine, Kovalova Kateryna
Published: August 2022

In the given article is examined the essence of the notion of «сommunicative competence» elaborated by Ukrainian and foreign scientists. In recent decades, the concept of “competence” has become increasingly apparent at the general didactic and general pedagogical level. Increased attention to this concept was also due to the recommendations of the Council of Europe in questions on the renewal of education. Considering the different approaches to the definition of “competence”, we conclude in the article that competence is understood as the knowledge that a person must master in the learning process, the result of mastering the content of education, which should be manifested in future professional activities. According to the educational and qualification characteristics of an agrarian specialist, students must have not only general technical and special skills, but also be able to find a common language with colleagues, perform a number of management functions. The purpose of the article is to analyze the concept of “communicative competence” and determine the structure of communicative competence of future agrarian engineers. Also the article examines the pedagogical conditions of formation of the communicative competence of future agrarian specialists. The formation of the communicative competence requires the need to substantiate the pedagogical conditions under which the formation will take place in the most effective way. It is shown that the process of forming of the communicative competence of future agrarian specialists is impossible without the creation and implementation of pedagogical conditions, on which the efficiency of the learning process depends and that affects the quality of the training. It has been proved that this process will be more successful, while using such pedagogical conditions as the use of a personality-oriented approach in teaching, providing of a contextual approach and the subject position of students in the process of professional communication training; the use of training exercises and games aimed at increasing the communication activity of students.

A healthy fiscal and monetary policies form the basis for economic growth and sustainability of an economy. This work seeks to look at the effect of monetary and fiscal policies on economic growth in Nigeria, to examine how government tax alter the effect of monetary policy, To see how interaction of government recurrent expenditure with monetary policy does alter the effect of monetary policy rate, money supply and inflation on economic growth in Nigeria, and to see if the interaction of government capital expenditure with monetary policy affects monetary policy rate, money supply and inflation on economic growth in Nigeria. This study uses time series data from 1995 to 2021 which were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The variables used in this study include; Money Supply (MS), Inflation (INF), Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), Government Tax Revenue (GTAX), Total Government Capital Expenditure (TGCE) and Total Government Recurrent Expenditure (TGRE). The data were examined using Ordinary Least Square Regression method and the robustness of the model was tested using post-estimation techniques such as Durbin-Watson test for autocorrelation, Jarque-Bera test for normality, Breusch-Godfrey Serial Correlation test and the Ramsey RESET test for specification correctness. Findings indicate that contractionary policies have caused reduced economic growth and the increase in monetary base in the economy has contributed significantly to economic growth. The study recommends Contractionary monetary policies should be matched with increase in taxation while expansionary monetary policies should be combined with a downward review of tax rates in the country.

Published: August 2022

We develop a deep-learning (DL) inversion method for the interpretation of 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) borehole resistivity measurements that requires negligible online computational costs. The method is successfully verified with the inversion of triaxial logging-while-drilling (LWD) resistivity measurements acquired across faulted and anisotropic formations. Our DL inversion workflow employs four independent DL architectures. The first one identifies the type of geological structure among several predefined types. Subsequently, the second, third, and fourth architectures estimate the corresponding spatial resistivity distributions that are parameterized (1) without the crossings of bed boundaries or fault plane, (2) with the crossing of a bed boundary but without the crossing of a fault plane, and (3) with the crossing of the fault plane, respectively. Each DL architecture employs convolutional layers and is trained with synthetic data obtained from an accurate high-order, mesh-adaptive finite-element forward numerical simulator. Numerical results confirm the importance of using multicomponent resistivity measurements —specifically cross-coupling resistivity components—for the successful reconstruction of 2.5D resistivity distributions adjacent to the well trajectory. The feasibility and effectiveness of the developed inversion workflow are assessed with two synthetic examples inspired by actual field measurements. Results confirm that the proposed DL method successfully reconstructs 2.5D resistivity distributions, location and dip of bed boundaries, and the location of the fault plane and is, therefore, reliable for real-time well geosteering applications.
A Fast and Transparent Bayesian Log Interpretation Method
Authors:   Consultant, Spalburg Mirano R.
Published: August 2022

This paper presents a fast and transparent Bayesian-based computational method that can be used for the interpretation of well logs. Rather than single values for formation properties, the results are probability distributions. The method is fast because the responses of logging tools, for a large set of formation realizations, are calculated only once and then stored with the realizations in a database. Thereafter, only this database is used for the interpretation of real well logs. The method is transparent because it entirely relies on selecting formation realizations with calculated log responses that are, within a given error margin, equal to the real logging tool responses. Therefore, only internally consistent interpretations can be found. The size of the database is realizable and the log evaluation computation time sufficiently short. The method has been tested with good results on more than 100 wells. Some of the well results are presented and discussed. The presented evaluations use databases of about 300 MB containing about 25 million realizations. Database construction and whole well evaluation each require less than a few seconds.

Basement granitic rocks represent potential hydrocarbon reservoirs; however, our understanding of their reservoir properties remains limited. In the Pearl River Mouth Basin (PRMB) of the northern South China Sea continental margin, granitic rocks account for ~57% of the basement in terms of lithology, which provides an excellent opportunity to investigate the characteristics and distribution of basement granitic reservoirs. Here we report results from a log facies analysis of the basement granitic rocks in the PRMB based on conventional well-logging data of 13 exploration wells. In the analysis, methods of change-point analysis for segmentation and fuzzy c-means clustering for log facies classification were integrated. As a result, five log facies (LF), named LF 1 to 5, were identified. These log facies were interpreted by integrating the analysis of the lithologic significance of different well logs, the analogy with similar cases confirmed in the literature, and the calibration from the limited cutting and sidewall coring data. Reservoir properties of the basement granitic rocks in the PRMB are highly varied, depending on the degree of the development of secondary porosities and fractures. It is suggested that the granitic rocks with developed secondary porosities and fractures, as represented by the low density (DEN), high acoustic transit time (AT), and relatively high neutron porosity (NP) log facies (LF 3), have the best reservoir potential, followed by the high gamma ray (GR), relatively high AT, and low NP (LF 2), and the low NP, moderate DEN, and AT (LF 4) log facies with variable amounts of fractures, respectively. Granitic rocks represented by the remaining LF 1 and 5 are overall tight and of poor reservoir properties. Favorable reservoir log facies, consisting of LF 2 through 4, are heterogeneously distributed. These findings will be beneficial to deepening our understanding of the reservoir properties of basement granitic rocks.

The article proposes a method of phase representation of dynamic systems for the analysis of pulse waves. A phase portrait is constructed, which is a set of phase trajectories obtained over a certain period of time. The technique of quantitative assessment of the blood ejection intensity in the rapid ejection phase of the cardiac cycle by a pulse wave is substantiated. It establishes quantitative criteria for the blood ejection intensity parameter in chronic and acute forms of diseases. Phase portraits of pulse waves are investigated. It is shown that the contour of the phase portrait mainly reflects the pulse wave amplitude parameters and intensity of the fast and slow ejection phases. The main qualitative regularities of various types of pulse waves are revealed. A quantitative indicator characterizing the geometry of the phase portrait is introduced and experimentally investigated. It allows you to differentiate pulse waves for their compliance with acute or chronic diseases. It is shown that the feature of the phase representation is that it demonstrates the dynamic properties of the system in a compact form. It can be used to evaluate the velocity characteristics of the process, its stationarity.
Evaluation of Elaj Irrigation Project in Babil Governorate

Climate change causes water shortage (water scarcity) in addition to the dams built by neighboring countries, which caused a lack of Iraq's water share. Therefore, evaluating the irrigation system requires considering its suitability, adequacy, and efficiency. Irrigation is considered adequate when it maintains water availability within the root zone, and if the amount to be added is determined, irrigation efficiency becomes possible by avoiding water loss. Babil Governorate is considered one of the agricultural governorates in the country that depends on its irrigation from Shatt Al-Hilla. The study area is the Elaj project. Three fields were selected for the project (B1, B2, and B3). These fields are located at the project's beginning, middle and end. The evaluation was based on the field measurements of water contents before and after watering during the growing season. Also, the root zone of each plant during the growing season is measured to give more accurate calculations. Accordingly, application efficiency, conveyance efficiency, distribution efficiency, storage efficiency, water productivity efficiency, and water use efficiency were calculated in the project. The application efficiency for the selected fields ranged between (33 to 39) % in B1, (32 to 38) % in B2, and (32 to 39) % in B3. The application efficiency in all fields increased by about 6% during the third watering period between (22/3/2021 to 4/4/2021) due to the low water level in Shatt Al-Hilla during maintenance work that lasted more than a month. The efficiency of the scheme [ηs%] in the project is 32.3%. This value is low and reflects the reality of irrigation in the Babil. Therefore, improvements must be made to the irrigation system.
THE EFFECT OF MINDFULNESS TRAINING ON THE SELF-REGULATION OF SOCIO-MORAL THOUGHTS
Authors: Arahuete Lorena , Pinazo Daniel

The change in moral attitude due to discrimination of the degree of reality of thought is an unexplored potential effect of mindfulness training. In this article we examine whether the mindfulness training of novices reduces the defensive reaction to normative transgressions when the socio-moral threatened thought is salient. To test the study hypotheses we used a bifactorial design mindfulness training (pre vs. post) x threatened thought salience (low vs high). The dependent variable (punishment of social norm transgression) was measured on two different occasions: 1) pre-training (T1), 2) after training (T2). One group receives training in mindfulness in the threatened thought salience low condition, and a second group receives the same training in the threatened thought salience high condition. The results show that training mindfulness reduces moral punishment with high threatened thought salience, and reduce moral jugdment with low threatened thought salience. Thought of threatened socio-moral norms affects socio-moral reactivity, but does not affect soico-moral judgment. Implications of the results and limitations of the study are also explored.

Judgment of Crowds as Emotional Increases with the Proportion of Black Faces

Decades of research has sought to characterize how the racialization of faces affects the evaluation of those faces. However, research has mostly focused on the perception of single faces. In the current project we address this gap by examining whether racialization impacts crowd perception, even in the absence of differences perception at the single-face level. In Experiments 1-2, we showed participants crowds of faces expressing different degrees of happiness or anger, manipulating the ratio of lighter-skinned faces racialized as White and darker-skinned faces racialized as Black. Greater proportion of Black faces increased the likelihood that the crowd was perceived as emotional. In Experiment 3 we confirmed that this effect was not merely driven by the contrast between White and Black faces within a crowd, as crowds composed of solely Black faces were more likely to be evaluated as emotional than crowds of White and Black faces. We used a hierarchical drift diffusion model to compare potential mechanisms, and found that Black faces expressing emotions weighed more heavily than White faces in pushing participants to judge a crowd as emotional. These results shed light on an important way in which racialization impacts social cognition.
