Kulnun í kennslu hefur talsvert verið í umræðunni undanfarin misseri og er yfirleitt rakin til aukins álags í störfum kennara. Á vettvangi stjórnmála og í allri umfjöllun um skólamál er mikil áhersla lögð á árangursríkt skólastarf. Árangurinn er metinn með samræmdum mælingum og skimunum en um leið er farið fram á vissan sveigjanleika þar sem öllum nemendum skal mætt á einstaklingsgrundvelli. Þegar uppi er grunur um að árangur hafi ekki náðst eða að ákveðnum nemendahópum líði illa í skólanum verður almannarómur hávær þar sem skuldinni er skellt á skólakerfið og kennara með óvæginni gagnrýni. Almannarómur hefur skipað kennurum í sérstaka samfélagsstöðu og þegar sú staða er skoðuð í samhengi við heilsu þeirra vakna spurningar um líðan þeirra í vinnunni og hvernig þeir takast á við tilfinningar sínar í kennslu margbreytilegra nemendahópa. Í þessari grein eru skoðaðar tilfinningar og tilfinningavinna (e. emotional labour) kennara og bent á hvaða þættir stjórna þeim. Gerð er grein fyrir niðurstöðum eigindlegrar rannsóknar þar sem viðtöl voru tekin við 14 grunnskólakennara sem höfðu reynslu af kennslu í margbreytilegum nemendahópum. Í greininni verða niðurstöður settar í samhengi við kenningar Söru Ahmed um svokallað tilfinningahagkerfi (e. affective economies) og Arlie Hochschild um tilfinningavinnu. Niðurstöður rannsóknarinnar benda til þess að tilfinningar kennara séu fjölbreyttar, síbreytilegar og sveif list í samræmi við álagspunkta skólaársins. Kennarastarfinu virðast fylgja tilfinningar á borð við ástríðu, umhyggju, skömm og sektarkennd. Kennarar þurfa meðal annars að stjórna tilfinningum sínum í samskiptum við stjórnendur, nemendur og foreldra til að skapa traust og jákvætt andrúmsloft til náms um leið og þeir þurfa oft að sætta ólík sjónarmið og skoðanir allra hagsmunaaðila skólastarfsins. Mikilvægt er að skoða tilfinningar og tilfinningavinnu í skólastarfi svo mögulegt sé að draga úr tilfinningavinnu kennara og skapa þannig betra andrúmsloft og vinnuumhverfi öllu skólastarfi í hag.

Patients with oncological and hematological diseases are at high risk of acquiring bloodborne infections due to multiple blood transfusions and frequent parenteral exposure. In order to evaluate the prevalence of bloodborne infections (i. e., hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)), we analyzed data on the seroprevalence of these viruses in patients admitted to the D. Rogachev NMRCPHOI from 2014 to 2020. We also performed a comparative analysis between these data and the prevalence of these infections in the total child population in Russia. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the D. Rogachev NMRCPHOI. Among patients admitted to the D. Rogachev NMRCPHOI, the mean seroprevalence was 1.7% for hepatitis C, 0.2% for hepatitis B, and 0.1% for HIV. The seroprevalence of hepatitis B and C among our patients was 6 and 50 times higher than the prevalence among Russian children and adolescents, respectively. The prevalence of HIV among patients treated at the D. Rogachev NMRCPHOI was 3 times higher than that among the child and adolescent population in Russia. In patients with oncological and immunological diseases, the detection of HBV DNA, HCV RNA, and Anti-HBc is considered clinically useful and plays an important role in the diagnosis of occult hepatitis infections which cannot be identified with routine diagnostic tests. Our study with pediatric patients with oncological, hematological, and immunological diseases highlights the problem of nosocomial transmission of bloodborne pathogens. HCV transmission in medical facilities is the most pressing issue that requires the implementation of healthcare programs aimed at preventing parenteral transmission and at ensuring the safety of donated blood.

Published: December 2021

Oncological diseases are one of the most important problems of our time facing both adults and children. In children, benign tumors are more common. There are no specific signs or symptoms in the early stages of oncological diseases, which often leads to late diagnosis. Here we report a case of a rare benign tumor – metanephric adenofibroma of the kidney, found in a toddler. The patient underwent ureteronephrectomy. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry of the kidney tissue. The patient’s parents gave their consent to the use of their child’s data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications.

Cystic angiomatosis is a rare disease characterized by disseminated multifocal hemangiomatous and/or lymphangiomatous cystic lesions of the skeleton with possible visceral organ involvement. Only a few dozens of such patients worldwide have been described in the literature. This article presents two case reports of the patients admitted to the D. Rogachev NRMCPHOI with suspected Langerhans cell histiocytosis. The patient’s parents gave their consent to the use of their child’s data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications. During the investigation, multiple cysts of the skull bones, spine, pelvic bones and limbs, as well as of the spleen were found in both patients. A biopsy of the bone cysts of the skull revealed no data in favor of histiocytosis or other neoplasms. Cystic angiomatosis was diagnosed in both cases. This is a rare disease that should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis in patients with cystic lesions of the bones and visceral organs.

Published: December 2021

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a malignant neoplasm of the sympathetic nervous system of embryonic origin, consisting of undifferentiated neuroectodermal cells of the neural crest.In the structure of the incidence of malignant neoplasms in patients under one year of age, NB is the most common tumor. At the same time, mortality of this disease ranks third, behind leukemias and tumors of the central nervous system, and amounts to 13% in the structure of child mortalityfrom malignant tumors in developed countries. The stratification of patients to the risk groups and the subsequent determination of treatment tactics depends on several prognostic factors, including genetic aberrations identified in tumor cells. Moreover, processes such as spontaneous regression and transformation into benign tumors are due to the genetic characteristics of NB. Thus, the study of genetic disorders underlying the pathogenesis of NB is necessary for adequate subdivision of patients into risk groups and developing of new methods of treatment.
Parenteral nutritional support in children in the early period after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: specifics and clinical aspects
Authors: Vashura A. Yu. , Alymova Yu. A.
Published: December 2021

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as a treatment modality is associated with nutritional problems that are mainly caused by eating difficulties and gastrointestinal complications occurring at different stages of HSCT: starting from conditioning until late post-transplant period. Nutritional problems have in turn a negative impact on the outcomes of HSCT which demonstrates the importance of preventive measures and timely correction of these problems. The majority of patients who underwent HSCT experience various problems at different stages of treatment leading to a situation when enteral nutrition is impossible. This is why parenteral nutrition is of utmost importance in these patients. This review describes the main clinical factors that may influence the prescription of nutritional support to patients after HSCT as well as possible problems and negative consequences of inappropriate prescribing of parenteral nutrition.

The value of single-photon emission computed tomography combined with computed tomography imaging in ¹²³I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy in children with neuroblastoma

Whole body scintigraphy with ¹²³I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (¹²³I-MIBG) is an important imaging modality for evaluation of patients with neuroblastoma (NB). As the intrinsic nuclear scintigraphic characteristics, the assessment of conventional planar ¹²³I-MIBG images presents some difficulties. The limited resolution of planar images can induce false-negative results for small lesions, whereas the presence of physiologic MIBG uptake is not always easily differentiable from pathologic uptake and can induce false-positive results. Single-photon emission computed tomography combined with computed tomography (SPECT/ CT) hybrid imaging technique, allowing the direct fusion of morphologic and functional information, has been suggested to be more accurate. However, SPECT/CT imaging renders slightly more radiation to patients from CT portion of the study and is time consuming. The aim of our study was to investigate how much SPECT/CT can have additional diagnostic value over planar imaging in NB patients at initial staging. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the D. Rogachev NMRCPHOI. A total of 251 SPECT/CT scans following by planar ¹²³I-MIBG imaging scans performed in 251 patients with NB were retrospectively analyzed. In 72.1% of the studies, the whole-body planar images and SPECT/CT images showed the same result. In 27.9% of studies, however, SPECT/CT images provided additional very important information. In our study, the diagnosis reached by planar imaging was revised or specified by SPECT/CT in 70 of the 251 patients and was clinically significant.

Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare intraventricular tumors, accounting 2–5% of brain tumors in children. Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) on the basis of histological criteria as benign tumor (WHO grade I), CPPs accounts for 10–20% of brain tumors during the first year of life, the median age of patients with CPP at the time of diagnosis – 3.5 years. Atypical choroid plexus papilloma (APP) is an intermediate (WHO grade II) tumor which was officially included in the WHO classification in 2007. Median age 0,63 years. In this work, for the first time in the Russian literature, we present the outcomes of CPP and APP therapy in a large cohort of patients. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the D. Rogachev NMRCPHOI. In our study from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2019, 83 CPP and 37 APP were histologically verified. For all patients, surgical removal of the tumor was the first stage of treatment. In 79 (95.2%) patients with CPP and in 32 (86.5%) children with APP, radical resection was performed at the first stage. In 73.5% of children with CPP and 62.2% of children with APP there was no intra- and postoperative complications. In both CPP and APP, the 5-year EFS in patients with complete resection was statistically significantly higher compared to subtotal tumor resection (100% and 33 ± 27% in CPP, 94 ± 4% and 25 ± 22% for APP) (p < 0.001). Chemoradiation therapy was given to 1 patient with CPP, 4 patients with APP with tumor recurrence/progression.

Authors: Onieva López Juan Lucas , Maqueda Cuenca Eugenio , Felipe Morales Andrea , García Ruiz María Aurora
Published: December 2021

El libro de texto es el material didáctico más utilizado en las escuelas y, desde hace algunos años, su formato digital está tratando de hacerse un hueco en las aulas, ya que los niños y jóvenes se muestran cada vez más receptivos ante las novedades tecnológicas. Con ellas, viven experiencias atractivas y estimulantes que llegan a compartir con otros de forma natural y activa, por lo que es normal que encuentren poco motivadores los recursos didácticos tradicionales que usan en sus escuelas. Con el objetivo de conocer si los libros de texto son atractivos para los participantes de este estudio y qué efectos emocionales les provocaban, hemos realizado un estudio de casos en el que se colocaron a los participantes cinco dispositivos de neuromarketing durante el proceso de lectura y realización de ejercicios tanto en libros de texto en formato papel como digital. Los datos obtenidos mostraron diferentes reacciones, físicas y emocionales con altas puntuaciones en el caso del libro de texto en papel, tanto en la asimetría frontal, la actividad electrodermal y la dilatación pupilar. En cuanto a los parámetros emocionales, hubo participantes con niveles de estrés y rechazo muy altos, sobre todo con el libro de texto digital, mientras que otros obtenían puntuaciones de disfrute altas, concretamente con el libro en formato papel.
Effect of condit soil improver on growth, yield and leaf mineral content of two summer pear cvs. with interstocks
Authors: Sosna Ireneusz Stefan
Published: December 2021

The study involving 2 pear cultivars was conducted in 2006–2016. ‘Radana’ and ‘Clapp’s Favourite’ were planted in the spring 2006 in the Experimental Station next to Wrocław (south-western Poland) on Quince S1 and Caucasian pear seedlings with 2 interstocks – ‘Doyenne du Comice’ and ‘Pyrodwarf’. An annual dose of 3 tonnes per hectare of Condit Basic bio-fertilizer was applied onto the tree row soil surface at the beginning of March 2012, i.e., starting from the 7th year after the planting. The study objective was to evaluate effect of Condit preparation on summer pear tree cultivars which are not compatible with Quince, and to assess interstock suitability in their context. The yields obtained in the first eleven years following tree planting were the most abundant for ‘Radana’ on Caucasian pear and on Quince with ‘Doyenne du Comice’ interstock. When applied for 5 years, Condit increased the leaf surface area, however a significant difference was exhibited only by ‘Radana’ on the Caucasian pear. This soil improver did not affect tree growth and yielding; total chlorophyll content; foliar Mg, P, Ca, and K; and mean fruit mass across the investigated treatment combinations.

Published: December 2021

For the comprehensive mechanised coal mining technology, the support design of the main withdrawal passage in the working face is an important link to achieve high yield and efficiency. Due to the impact of mining, the roof movement of the withdrawal passage is obvious, the displacement of the coal body will increase significantly, and it is easy to cause roof caving and serious lamination problems, and even lead to collapse accidents, which will affect the normal production of the mine. In this paper, the mining pressure development law of the main withdrawal passage support under the influence of dynamic pressure is designed, the most favourable roof failure form of the withdrawal passage is determined, and the action mechanism and applicable conditions of different mining pressure control measures are studied. The pressure appearance and stress distribution in the final mining stage of fully mechanised coal face are studied by numerical simulation. The deformation and failure characteristics and control measures of roof overburden in the last mining stage of fully mechanised coal face are analysed theoretically. Due to the fact that periodic pressure should be avoided as far as possible after the full-mechanised mining face is connected with the retracement passage, some auxiliary measures such as mining height control and forced roof blasting are put forward on this basis. The relative parameters of the main supporting forms are calculated. The main retracement of a fully mechanised working face in a coal mine channel is put forward to spread the surrounding rock grouting reinforcement, reinforcing roof, and help support and improve the bolt anchoring force, the main design retracement retracement channels in the channel near the return air along the trough for supporting reinforcing surrounding rock control optimisation measures, such as through the numerical simulation analysis, the optimisation measures for coal mine fully mechanised working face of surrounding rock is feasible. Numerical simulation results also show that the surrounding rock control of fully mechanised working face of coal mine design improvements, its main retreat channel under the roof subsidence, cribbing shrank significantly lower, and closer, to better control the deformation of surrounding rock, achieved significant effect, to ensure the safety of coal mine main retracement channel of fully mechanised working face support.
A Quality Assessment Directory for Evaluating Multi-functional Public Spaces

Published: December 2021

Public spaces facilitate opportunities for social interaction and promote social life. The social-spatial complexity of public spaces can be explored through the relationship between built forms and users’ daily social activities. The contemporary needs of users have retrofitted or replaced the controversial public spaces such as streets, depriving the prime function of sustaining and facilitating social life. Thus, any factors influencing users’ social/public life impact the quality of public spaces. Also, contextualization and definition of public spaces necessitate an evaluation of their quality. The lack of a quality assessment directory (QAD) for evaluating multi-functional public spaces motivated us to address it. To achieve the aim, this research has conducted a systematic literature review applying the content analysis to explore the principles and indicators influencing and enhancing social interactions in multi-functional public space design and then performed a normalization analysis to measure the weight of each indicator. The QAD constitutes five criteria (C1 – Inclusiveness, C2 – Desirable activities, C3 – Comfort, C4 – Safety, C5 – Pleasurability), and forty-two (42) embedded sub-criteria. The research found that Inclusiveness (Wn
C1 = 4.38) and Pleasurability (Wn
C2 = 3.88) have received the highest weights. Also, the research found that the sub-criteria ‘Physical/visual connection or openness to adjacent spaces’ (Wn
Sc.4.1 = 1.00), ‘Users of diverse ages’ and ‘Community gathering third places’ (Wn = 0.750) have received the highest weights. Using such a QAD, urban professionals can quantify the effectiveness and efficiency of public spaces’ environmental and physical qualities in promoting social interactions and sociability.
Gendered Norms and Family Roles in the Narratives of Hungarian Elite Members and Their Partners
Authors: Csurgó Bernadett , Kristóf Luca
Published: December 2021

Our paper contributes to studies on the enduring underrepresentation of women in elite positions through the analysis of elite members’ and their partners’ narratives on career and partnership. Using a dataset of 34 individual interviews (17 couples) among Hungary’s political, economic, and cultural elite, we explore how narrators project themselves in the context of their marital relationships and family roles. We identify three pairs of narratives during our analysis. Narratives show the positions from where narrators discuss the theme of career and partnership as elite member/partner, power couple/non-power couple, and male/female. Our findings show that narrative positioning is significantly gendered, and it is strongly connected to the traditional gendered role system. Having an elite position or pursuing a career calls for explanation only from women. In the meantime, a non-power couple position calls for explanation from men, which suggests the increasing presence of the norm of equality in the Hungarian elite.
Ifempower “Interactive and Mentorship-Based FEMale EmPOWERment in the Field of Entrepreneurship”: Background and the Way Forward
Authors: Zsár Virág
Published: December 2021

Although gender gap in the field of entrepreneurship is slowly decreasing globally and there is a consensus about the vital role of female entrepreneurs in the economy, the ratio of female entrepreneurs remains still below that of the male. Empirical research conducted by HETFA Research Institute reveals important findings regarding the situation, challenges, and strategies of female entrepreneurs. Among others, there are some particular themes and features which are more apparent in the case of female entrepreneurs than in that of men such as the lack of self-confidence, lower level of motivation, lack of a supporting environment, lower level of self-assessment as well as greater frequency of solo entrepreneurship, and working part time. As for starting and maintaining a business, entrepreneurship-related skills, knowledge, and mindset, opportunities for networking, support from peers as well as supportive environment are among the highly esteemed factors by female entrepreneurs already in business.

This is what the projectifempoweraimed to address by not only developing a university curriculum and innovative teaching material but backing them with a mentorship programme and an intensive training programme.ifempowerwas built on a complex approach with special emphasis given to the development of soft and hard skills, entrepreneurial mindset, networking skills, and supporting female students as potential entrepreneurs in meeting their aims.

Liquid Narrative of European Cultural Identity in the Time of Uncertainty (2008–2020)
Authors: Bocullo Donata
Published: December 2021

As Leonidas Donskis (2016: 9) once wrote, “Europe has been saved many times by its narrative powers”. In this time of uncertainty and disasters, our public narratives are filled with gossips, conspiracies, intolerance, and hate speech that strengthen divisions in society. During pandemic lockdowns, when physical closeness is exchanged with social interactions online and when global identities and culture are uploaded on digital platforms, we ask: what does it mean to be European in a time of uncertainty and what binds our collective identities and helps us to overcome our fears and anxieties? Considering the past and present (2008–2020) global and European economic, political, healthcare, and cultural as well as personal crises, this auto-ethnographic essay raises these questions: How can personal narratives help to strengthen European cultural identity in these times of uncertainty? Do personal narratives weaken collective identities? By using an auto-ethnographic approach, this paper is an attempt to determine whether a holistic research approach can be used in the analysis of “liquid” European cultural identity and personal narratives. Therefore, this paper is not just for finding the right answers or right stories but is meant to act rather as a stepping stone for further discussion on how to communicate European cultural identity and how to raise self-identification, cultural solidarity, and unity during these times of uncertainty.
Scripts in Rural Élites’ Attitude as Narrative Barriers in the Hungarian–Roma Interethnic Relations in Szeklerland (Romania)
Authors: Biró A. Zoltán , Sárosi-Blága Ágnes
Published: December 2021

Relying on an interview-based research conducted in Romania’s Szeklerland area, in settlements with a significant Roma population where the majority of the inhabitants are of Hungarian ethnicity, the present study investigates the non-Roma rural élites’ attitude towards the local Roma population. The regional relevance of the topic is indicated by the fact that the importance of the Roma population’s social integration is present in social publicity, while at the same time the three decades following the 1989 socio-political turn in Romania witnessed only a few attempts at the planning and launching of programmes aimed at the Roma population’s social integration. In the course of the past three decades, the regional institutions and élites have repeatedly shuffled off the professional thematization and practical addressing of this issue, whereas in principle they emphasized the importance of social integration. This study aims to explore some of the components making up the background of the above-outlined ambivalent attitude. With the script analysis method, we intend to look into what scripts rural elite actors adopt in building the narratives on the Hungarian–Roma attitude and what role this narrative creation has in the case of the élite belonging to the Hungarian ethnic majority.
Comfort-Related Properies of Cotton Seersucker Fabrics
Authors: Matusiak Malgorzata
Published: December 2021

This work concerns the comfort-related properties of seersucker woven fabrics made of cotton. Seersucker woven fabrics are characterized by alternating puckered and flat strips in the warp direction. Some researchers consider that due to this structure seersucker fabrics are characterized by very good comfort-related properties. In this work seersucker fabrics with differing repeats of the seersucker effect and different weft yarns were investigated in intense heat and high moisture transfer. Results showed that the structural factors significantly influence the comfort-related properties of the investigated cotton fabrics.
Sparse coded spatial pyramid matching and multi-kernel integrated SVM for non-linear scene classification
Authors: Gajjar Bhavinkumar , Mewada Hiren , Patani Ashwin
Published: December 2021

Support vector machine (SVM) techniques and deep learning have been prevalent in object classification for many years. However, deep learning is computation-intensive and can require a long training time. SVM is significantly faster than Convolution Neural Network (CNN). However, the SVM has limited its applications in the mid-size dataset as it requires proper tuning. Recently the parameterization of multiple kernels has shown greater flexibility in the characterization of the dataset. Therefore, this paper proposes a sparse coded multi-scale approach to reduce training complexity and tuning of SVM using a non-linear fusion of kernels for large class natural scene classification. The optimum features are obtained by parameterizing the dictionary, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) parameters, and fusion of multiple kernels. Experiments were conducted on a large dataset to examine the multi-kernel space capability to find distinct features for better classification. The proposed approach founds to be promising than the linear multi-kernel SVM approaches achieving 91.12 % maximum accuracy.

Published: December 2021

The rapid development of various LBS-based applications and services that operate on the basis of the user’s current location, both global GPS and local LBS, today require the development of new and improved methods. This concerns, first of all, methods for determining the local location of LPS users in premises, if there is a high concentration of users and the presence of difficulties in the propagation of radio signals. the use of local methods of location determination based on the fingerprinting method is considered. It is shown that to improve the user positioning accuracy, it is expedient to use a combination of several methods. to determine the local location of the user, a method based on the finite element method and linear complex planar splines is proposed. the construction of linear complex planar splines is considered, their coefficients are found. finding the error in determining the coordinates of the user’s UE location is shown. The use of the proposed method will improve the accuracy of determining the coordinates of the user’s location and will ensure the provision of LBS services and applications to users in the premises under various conditions of their provision.
Determination of magnetic field intensity on open sample
Authors: Hilko Karol , Jančárik Vladimír , Kafka Filip
Published: December 2021

The work is focused on the refinement of the determination of the magnetic field intensity in a Charpy-shaped steel sample. When measuring on an open sample, the intensity of the magnetic field cannot be determined directly from the current by the magnetizing winding. The distribution of the magnetic field around the sample was determined by numerical simulation, the dependence of its intensity on the distance from the sample surface is fitted with sufficient accuracy by a polynomial of the 3rd degree. A system of sensors sensing the distribution of the field at selected points above the sample was designed; by extrapolation using said fitting function, the intensity of the magnetic field on the surface of the examined sample is determined.
To Explain Tradition
Authors: Oring Elliott
Published: December 2021

Tradition has been claimed to be a keyword in the folklore lexicon. Yet the word has not proved central to the thinking of many folklorists. More often, the term is simply used to mark territory. By characterizing certain songs, tales, dances, or customs as traditions, such expressions and behaviors are declared to be part of the discipline’s proper subject. But the term is usually theoretically empty. It is rarely defined, and it raises no critical questions. In this essay, tradition is defined, the critical questions evoked by this definition are specified, and some of the ways that folklorists might go about answering these questions are delineated.

Ossetian Ritual Feasts and Transpersonal Experience: Re-Description of a Religion as a Religious Practice
Authors: Shtyrkov Sergei
Published: December 2021

The protest of the North Ossetian nativist religious movement against discourses of dominant institutions in the public sphere involves as its necessary component ‘re-description’ of religion in general and ‘re-constructed’ religious systems in particular. Usually, this means revealing allegedly forgotten ancient meanings of indigenous customs, rituals and folklore texts through the use of various concepts taken from esotericism and/or practical psychology. The language for this re-description is provided by conceptual apparatus developed by New Age movements. Of particular interest in this respect is the language of ‘new science’, ‘alternative history’, ‘transpersonal psychology’, etc., employed as a tool for criticising the established system of Christian-centric understanding of what religion is and what its social functions are.

Today, with the longing for smart and sustainable transportation, the elevator industry has undergone major metamorphism in the field of control algorithm, electric drive, and the motor. Amongst these, regenerative drive (RD) plays a pivotal role in making elevator technology more energy efficient. Rather than wasting the recovery energy from the machine as heat, RD recovers it as green energy. Conventional direct current (DC) motors ruled the elevator industry for many years and were adopted as standard type of elevator motors. But with the advancement in electric drive technology, alternating current (AC) motors, especially induction motors, flourished in the later part. Recently with the introduction of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) technology, the elevator revolution began in terms of power quality, ride quality, and green energy. Likewise, contrasted with different types of vertical transportation machines, PMSMs have better powerful execution, compact size, and higher system-level efficiency. Recently, with the rapid improvement in intensity hardware, utilization of rare earth magnetic materials, and indubitably advanced research, PMSM has rapidly changed systems globally. PMSM is a multivariable, nonlinear, and high-coupling framework. The torque and stator current present a unique capacity connection. Attractive fields can be decoupled to gain decent power outcomes. With the presentation of regenerative PMSM, electrical drives coupled to system integrated frameworks for recovery energy has enhanced savings in power consumptions.

The mining of underground deposits causes the inflow of water to workings and the necessity of pumping them to the surface. The mining plant of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. extracts copper ore in plant branches with different hydrogeological conditions. The inflowing water into the workings is characterised by variable mineralisation, which depends on the location of the branch. In the south-western part of the deposit, a low-mineralised stream with a relatively high flow rate can be observed, while the outflow of highly saline waters occurs in the north-eastern branch. Despite the activities undertaken that aim at using the pumped-off mine waters industrially, it is necessary to deposit them into the Odra River.

Reducing the environmental impact on the Odra River is one of KGHM's goals, which is being implemented by stabilising its salt concentration at a safe level. The paper presents the results of a 3D simulation of brine plume propagation based on a numerical model of advection–diffusion and turbulent flow. Bathymetric data from a section of the river approximately 500 m long and point data from an Odra water quality test were used to develop and validate the model. The paper discusses the types of factors that minimise the impact of brine discharge. The developed model will be used in the future to propose solutions that accelerate the mixing of mine waters with the waters of the Odra River.

The paper focuses on the possibilities of rainwater flow control in an innovative rainwater system which is equipped with a retention canals system. Sewage retention canal is a modern solution that provides effective retention of excess rainwater by using a capacity of sewer pipes and manholes. The retention is possible by using special damming partitions which have flow openings. The hydraulic working of the traditional rainwater system and the innovative rainwater system were compared with each other. The analysis was based on the results obtained from simulations using hydrodynamic modeling. Maximum possible values of rainwater outflow intensity from outlet nodes for the traditional rainwater system and the innovative rainwater system were discussed. On the basis of the analysis it was shown that the innovative rainwater system outweighs the classic rainwater one. It discharges two functions: transports and simultaneously retains excess rainwater in canals.

The activity of using mercury in gold mining in Alue Baro Village, Meukek District is carried out freely so that it has a negative impact on the environment and the health of the miners. This study aims to determine the level of mercury in the hair of artisanal gold miners in Alue Baro village by referring to the reference that has been set by WHO. The data sample collection was carried out by taking 6 hair samples from the Alue Baro village gold miners who were selected with various types of work, namely gold processing, waste processing and waste waste until the time of the interview with a minimum working period of 1 year with sample codes R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 as control samples. The six samples were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry equipped with a Mercury Analyzer which showed results, respectively, 1.01; 2.38; 1.65; 1.35; 1.66; and 0.64 ppm. The results of this study indicate that all hair samples have mercury levels above the mercury threshold that has been set by WHO, namely 1 ppm. High levels of mercury in hair samples were analyzed on exposure to mercury. Further research was conducted to analyze other metals contained in the hair of gold miners in Alue Baro village

Physics is a science that discusses every result of studying the answers to the question of causes, as well as natural phenomena that can occur. The most complex problem experienced by students is the lack of skills in solving physics problems for students. The low problem solving ability of students resulted in the ability to master the basic concepts of students. This study aimed to observe the escalation of problem solving skills after the implementation of the PIL learning model in physics at MAN 6 Aceh Besar. This research is included in the type of quasi-experimental research by designing a nonequivalent control group using 2 class samples as the experimental class and the control class. The population of this study was 64 students with 43 students participating in the study. Purposive sampling method was used in order to select the study sample. The collected data was analyzed using an independent-t test technique. This study observed that PIL learning models gave a positive impact to student autonomous learning and problem solving skills. The escalation of both variables was observed from the N-Gain score. On the problem solving skills, the control group reached 0.50 N-Gain score and the eksperimen group reached 0.79.

Hypertension is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Treatment adherence is an essential factor in controlling blood pressure among hypertensive patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on treatment adherence among hypertensive patients at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Aceh, Indonesia, as well as to determine its associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Cardiac Center by utilizing medical records of hypertensive patients visiting during the period of April-July 2019 and December 2020-March 2021. Bivariate analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test was employed to examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients’ adherence. The results showed that the number of patients adhering to treatment significantly decreased (p=0.000) by 22.7%, from 179 patients in 2019 to 64 patients in 2020. The data also suggested a significant positive association between residential and patient adherence before the pandemic (p=0.006); however, no significant difference was observed between residential and patients’ adherence after the pandemic (p=0.282). Furthermore, our study found no association between age and adherence before and after the pandemic (p=0.690 in 2019 and p=0.125 in 2020). In conclusion, the pandemic of COVID-19 significantly affected treatment adherence among patients with hypertension at Aceh provincial hospital, with a decreased number in patient visits up to 22.7%.
