Synthesis and research of polyfunctional silicon-containing amines – new promoters of adhesion
Authors: Ivanova K. Yu. , Kuzmin M. V. , Kol’tsov N. I.
Published: February 2021

Currently, in order to obtain high-tech hybrid products, modern adhesives have high requirements for creating strong joints between dissimilar materials. It is known that adhesion depends on the compatibility of the adhesives with the surfaces of the materials. Amine compounds are the main hardeners for epoxy compositions. That is why, in this article, we synthesized silicon-containing amines based on polyfunctional aminoalkoxysiloxanes for epoxy compositions. Aminoalkoxysiloxanes were prepared by the interaction of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane with monoethanolamine in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure in the presence of a binary antioxidant and catalytic amounts of an alkali metal alcoholate. During the reaction in a homogeneous phase, the reaction mixture was heated to a temperature of 100-110 °C and distilled off to 90% of ethanol from the theoretically calculated amount. Further, the reaction was carried out at a reduced temperature of 10-20 mmHg pressure until the release of alcohol stops. At the same time, gravimetric control was carried out and the refractive index of the reaction mixture was measured. As a result, aminoalkoxysilanes were obtained in the form of light-yellow oily liquids. The structure of the obtained compounds was investigated by IR spectroscopy on an FSM-1202 Fourier spectrophotometer and 1H NMR spectroscopy on a high-resolution BrukerWM-250 NMR spectrometer. It was found that under the selected synthesis conditions, aminopropyltri-(2-aminoethoxy)silane is obtained with the highest yield of 97.6% at a molar ratio of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane AGM-9 with monoethanolamine 1:3.

A convenient synthetic approach to meso-substituted with 2,2’-bipyridine and 1-(pyridin-2-yl)isoquinoline residues calix[4]arenes is reported. This approach involves the reaction of generated in situ 2-lithio-calix[4]arene with 1,2,4-triazine precursor with the following aromatization of the obtained adduct, and the aza-Diels-Alder reaction of the 1,2,4-triazinyl-substituted calix[4]arene with 2,5-norbornadien or in-situ generated 1,2-dehydrobenzene. The UV/fluorescence response of thus obtained meso-pyridyl-substituted calix[4]arenes to metal cations is studied.
To the question of the influence of a silanol cover on the protolytic properties of aminopropyl silica gels
Authors: Filisteev O. V. , Sharov A. V.
Published: February 2021

The paper proposes a model that describes the acid-base properties of amino groups grafted onto the surface, taking into account their interaction with silanol groups. For this, aminopropyl silica was chosen as an object with well-studied methods of preparation, structure and properties. The isotherms of sorption of hydrogen ions on aminopropyl silica were obtained by potentiometric method. The experimental points were analyzed numerically, taking into account the presence of an electric double layer, the presence of surface processes competing with the sorption of hydrogen ions, and the peculiarities of the behavior of silanol groups when the degree of surface filling with hydrogen ions changes. The resulting model makes it possible to carry out a preliminary calculation of the sorption of hydrogen ions on the surface of aminopropyl silica.

Published: February 2021

The article establishes the upper temperature steadiness limit of СdxPb1-xS supersaturated solid solutions obtained by chemical bath deposition. СdxPb1-xS (x = 0.06; 0.122; 0.176) and (x = 0.02–0.05) films remained stable under the heating up to 405–410 and 450 K, respectively. SEM studies have shown that heating of СdxPb1-xS films (x = 0.02–0.05) to 620 K leads to the structure destruction. Internal mechanical compressive stresses at the "СdxPb1-xS film-substrate" interface was calculated in the range of 300–900 K for the first time ever, the highest values reached 2000–2750 kN/m2 for a number of the films compositions. In contrast to solid solutions, the expansion stresses up to 100 kN/m2 were derived for the CdS layer at 900 K. The obtained temperature steadiness boundaries and the mechanical stresses of СdxPb1-xS films must be taken into account in the development of photonic devices based on such materials.

Published: February 2021

A composite consisting of silicon nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (Si/RGO) was studied as a promising material for the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries. Commonly used polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) served as a binder. To reveal the influence of the binder on the electrochemical behaviour of the Si/RGO composite, binder-free electrodes were also prepared and examined. Anode half-cells with composites comprising CMC as a binder demonstrated the best properties: capacity over 1200 mAh∙g-1, excellent cycling performance and good rate capability up to 1.0C.
The workplace parking levy: a review of its social benefits
Authors: Flack Sue , Budd Lucy , Dale Simon , Ison Stephen
Published: February 2021

Reconciling economic development with the provision of safe, affordable, accessible and environmentally sustainable urban transport networks is key to securing the future vitality of cities and the health and wellbeing of urban residents. Although increased automation and electrification may offer opportunities for decarbonising urban transport in the medium to longer term, more immediate and lower-cost policy interventions are also required to reduce reliance on private vehicles and fund sustainable public transport alternatives. One possibility exists as a result of enabling legislation to implement a workplace parking levy (WPL), which imposes a charge on employers providing liable car parking places at the workplace. The legislation stipulates that the net WPL-derived revenue is hypothecated to fund local transport improvements. As of late 2020, only one English city (Nottingham), has introduced a WPL although a growing number of English local authorities are considering introducing one. The aim of this paper is to examine the potential social benefits of a WPL and offer recommendations for future policy and practice.

Factors Affecting Recent U.S. Tariffs on Imports from China
Authors: Flaaen Aaron , Langemeier Kathryn , Pierce Justin
Published: February 2021

The period from January 2018 to September 2019 saw an unprecedented increase in tariffs placed on U.S. imports, especially on those originating in China. We document the extent to which tariff exclusions and other factors lowered the average effective tariff on Chinese goods. Given that the large majority of tariff exclusions expired on December 31, 2020, our analysis also indicates that U.S. effective tariffs on Chinese goods increased notably at the start of 2021.
What Drives Bank Peformance?
Authors: Guerrieri Luca , Harkrader James Collin
Published: February 2021

Focusing on some key metrics of bank performance, such as revenues and loan charge-off rates, we estimate the fraction of the observed variation in these metrics that can be attributed to changes in economic conditions. Macroeconomic factors can explain the preponderance of the fluctuations in charge-off rates. By contrast, bank-specific, idiosyncratic factors account for a sizable share of the variation in bank revenues. These results point to importance of bank-specific business models as a driver of performance.
Is Lending Distance Really Changing? Distance Dynamics and Loan Composition in Small Business Lending
Authors: Adams Robert M. , Brevoort Kenneth P. , Driscoll John C.
Published: February 2021

Has information technology improved small businesses' access to credit by hardening the information used in loan underwriting and reducing the importance of proximity to lenders? Previous research, pointing to increasing average lending distances, suggests that it has. But this conclusion can obscure differences across loans and lenders. Using over 20 years of Community Reinvestment Act data on small business lending, we find that while average distances have increased substantially, distances at individual banks remain unchanged. Instead, average distance has increased because a small group of lenders specializing in high-volume, small-loan lending nationwide have increased their share of small business lending by 10 percentage points. Our findings imply that small businesses continue to depend on local banks.
O processo de identificação entre membros de Alcoólicos Anônimos: uma análise psicanalítica e foucaultiana de discurso
Authors: Costa Raul Max Lucas da , Alencar Yan Ferreira de
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo discute a função da identificação na terapêutica do alcoolismo proposta pela Irmandade Alcoólicos Anônimos (AA). Como procedimento metodológico, realizamos um estudo bibliográfico da literatura de AA e entrevistas com dez membros de AA na cidade de Juazeiro do Norte-CE. Para a análise dos resultados, realizamos uma articulação entre a teoria psicanalítica, análise de discurso e as contribuições da filosofia foucaultiana sobre discurso e poder. Em psicanálise, a identificação é definida como o laço afetivo mais remoto que o sujeito estabelece com o objeto. Freud se vale do referido conceito em seu estudo sobre as formações grupais e das massas destacando três modos de identificação: com o pai, a sintomática e a histérica. Constatamos que para o membro de AA, a prática do programa terapêutico espiritual dos doze passos exige uma identificação sintomática com a “doença alcoólica” e com o outro membro “alcoólico”. A coesão grupal da Irmandade ocorre a partir do ideal do eu de “sobriedade”. A experiência dos fundadores registrada na literatura oficial da Irmandade serve como traço identificatório para os membros até hoje. Nas falas dos participantes, foi destacada a necessidade do vínculo grupal, comparado ao laço familiar, e do exercício de lideranças nos grupos, apesar da Irmandade não estabelecer líderes oficialmente. Concluímos que para os AA a terapêutica do alcoolismo equivale ao processo gradual de construção identitária do “alcoólico anônimo”, cujos efeitos subjetivos são de massificação em detrimento da singularidade.
Discriminação contra homossexuais no mercado de trabalho: revisão da literatura
Authors: De Souza Daniel Cerdeira , Honorato Eduardo Jorge Sant'Ana , Beiras Adriano
Published: February 2021

O trabalho é central na organização da vida em sociedade, mas o acesso ao mercado e a permanência no emprego possuem atravessamentos que vão além de questões econômicas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste foi analisar a literatura sobre a discriminação vivenciada por homossexuais no mercado de trabalho. Metodologicamente, foram analisados 12 artigos colhidos do Portal Periódicos CAPES, publicados entre 2014 e 2019, que foram analisados em dois momentos: primeiramente de forma descritiva através da elaboração de um instrumento de pesquisa e após, a partir da Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados foram compilados em 6 categorias, sendo: 1) Formas de Discriminação; 2) Discriminações interseccionadas; 3) A identidade homossexual; 4) Remuneração; 5) Profissões específicas para gays e lésbicas; 6) Inclusão e políticas de gestão da diversidade, que discutiram que homossexuais são expostos a diversas formas de discriminação no mercado de trabalho, o que piora quando o homossexual não performatiza o gênero tido como natural para o seu sexo. As políticas de gestão da diversidade funcionam muito mais como uma forma de melhorar a imagem da empresa na sociedade do que uma forma de criar um ambiente de igualdade de oportunidades.

Authors: Abasova Lamiya
Published: February 2021

The aim of the study is to analyze еhe role of medium and small cities in development of regions in the Republic of Azerbaijan

Methods. The study used the method of comparative historical methods, statistics, analyze.

Results. As a result, recommendations and suggestions were made to regulate the economic structure of small and medium-sized cities, and to increase the role of the regions in the development of the country. One of the main directions of socio-economic development are the reconstruction of the economic structure of small and medium-sized cities, the creation of new production and service facilities in these areas, and the organization of public services at the level of modern requirements. With these activities, new workplaces will be created and cities will play a role in the development of the country.

Scientific novelty. Cities play an important role in the location of agricultural areas and population, in the processing of natural resources and agricultural products. These factors have a significant impact on regional development as well. Most of the cities in Azerbaijan are medium and small. Therefore it covers all regions of the country. Given this, it is possible to ensure the socio-economic development of the regions by developing small and medium-sized cities. However, the role of the regions in the socio-economic development of the country is still weak. It shows itself in the production of more industrial products. To solve the problem, it is necessary to construct new light and food industry facilities and service facilities in the regions. Natural and geographical conditions, the use of natural resources, and EGP are influenced by urban development in Azerbaijan. The majority of urban areas in the country are located in plains and foothills, close to water basins and the Caspian coast. For many years the processing of agricultural products has been the basis of urban economic structures. Different objects of the secondary industry are functioning in the cities due to the diversified structure of agriculture. However, during the transition period, their activities stopped, the production of industrial products declined and workplaces were closed. This factor has slowed the decrease of the urban population and increased migration. During the preparing of the article, the annual reports of the State Statistical Committee on regional development, industry, socio-cultural development played a statistical base role.
Mental States of a Personality in a Didactic VR Environment
Authors: Selivanov V.V.
Published: February 2021

The work is aimed at examining the influence of modern didactic programs in virtual reality (VR) on mental states in adolescence. The materials of empirical research obtained on a sample of 3—4 year students from Moscow and Smolensk universities are presented. Study 1 (N = 50) involved respondents aged 19 to 26 years. We used the methodology of AS Kulikov L.V., didactic VR programs were used as instructive independent variables. The results obtained indicate that the didactic VR environment of the highest level has a significant effect on mental states, increasing indicators on the scales of activation, excitement, tone, euphoria, and reducing asthenia. Conditions such as well-being, normal mood, calmness remain stable in immersive didactic VR. The effectiveness of VR programs in influencing mental states is determined by the successful modeling of 3D objects, high animation, interactivity, originally incorporated into the content of VR of the highest level. The data on an increase in the experience of the degree of presence in VR when using new helmets, even in short VR programs, are of fundamental importance. This indicates the possibility of the formation of addictions to VR with their repeated, short-term use.

Published: February 2021

The work is aimed at studying the effectiveness of the influence of virtual reality training programs on the formation of educational motivation and thinking among students in the study of higher mathematics. The materials of an empirical study obtained on a sample of 1st and 4th year students of the Russian Technological University MIREA are presented. The study included 3 groups: one experimental group and two control groups. In group 1 (experimental), participants were offered to work in the VR program “Second-order Surfaces”, in group 2 — to read a textbook on this topic, group 3 was offered to relax between the two stages of the experiment. The study (N=90) involved respondents aged 17 to 21 years, of which 23.33% were female. The method of group alignment is applied. The study included 2 measurements of knowledge of the theory of linear algebra on the topic “Second-order surfaces” (before and after working in the program\ textbook reading\rest) and 2 measurements of the current state according to the SAN methodology. The results obtained suggest that working in a virtual reality program for the formation of thinking is as effective as reading a textbook. At the same time, there was an improvement in the overall condition of respondents after working in the VR program: the effectiveness of students increased. A further survey of students using the methodology for diagnosing students ‘ learning motivation (A. A. Rean and V. A. Yakunin, modifications by N. TS Badmaeva) showed an increase in educational and cognitive motivation among students working in the VR program.

Published: February 2021

In this article numerical analysis of incompressible, two dimensional and mixed convective MHD Casson fluid flows over a stretching surface with porosity under the influence of radiation and chemical reaction as well as viscous dissipation considered. By utilizing suitable similarity analysis, the governing PDEs (Partial differential equations) with its respective boundary conditions were transformed to dimensionless forms. The resulting ODEs (Ordinary differential equations) along with corresponding boundary conditions were solved via shooting technique combined with Runge-kutta-Fehlberg method. The outcomes of this study illuminates that velocity, temperature and concentration fields decreases due to the thickness of the boundary layer as we go away from the stretching sheet surface and falling of velocity observed in Casson fluid parameter. Under some restriction the resultant outcome were compared with previous published results and is found in admirable agreement.

A Linguistic Study of Depression in Religious Texts
Authors: Noor Al-Huda Kadhim Hussein Prof. Dr. Riyadh Tariq Kadhim Al-Ameedi ,
Published: February 2021

Studies on the importance of language and verbalism in depression are still challenging. Thus, the present study is an attempt to study depressive speech linguistically focusing on the linguistic indicators or markers of such type of speech. It mainly aims at specifying the linguistic markers of depression in religious texts and finding out on which linguistic level depression seems to be manifested more in religious texts along with the functions of depressive speech. Accordingly, it is hypothesized that: (1) Religious texts, in English and Arabic,  exhibit certain types of linguistic markers such as first-person singular pronoun (i.e. I talk), past tense verbs, the excessive amount of words conveying negative emotions, absolutist words, and metaphor. (2) Linguistic markers of depression are manifested differently on the linguistic levels of the data selected in the two languages.(3) Depressive speech in religious texts serves different communicative functions. The data of the present study are collected from some of  the Bible's stories about influential figures of faith and Du'aa Kumayl. After analyzing the data, the study has come up with some conclusions that religious texts exhibit certain linguistic markers of depression. These linguistic markers are manifested differently on the linguistic levels of the data selected in the two languages. Finally, depressive speech serves different communicative functions. These conclusions validate the hypotheses set in the first place.

Authors: Et al. Henni Kusumastuti
Published: February 2021

This study briefly analyzes the interaction process between village and sub-district government actors in the management of population administration service innovation. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach. The data were obtained through primary data and secondary data. Qualitative data analysis begins with collecting data through interviews and studying relevant various documents which related to the object of research, then reporting the results of the research. The results showed that there was an imbalance in the process and interaction between actors, the village government and the Village Consultative Body. The head of a village at the end of his term is not required to provide a report so that the evaluation function of the performance assessment does not run optimally. However, the governance of public service innovation in several villages in South Lampung has involved universities through various collaborations such as the implementation of community Service and research activities. The findings  also reveal that research and partnership activities optimize improving the service administration system. Furthermore, the actors have played a role in carrying out the socialization of the implementation of innovation programs to accelerate the realization of independent villages

WSNs are compact in size, with short battery power & additionally their processing capabilities are low. This restriction of battery power makes them vulnerably faulty. In order to save this limited power, redundant data must be stored inside the sensor node during aggregation which will result in a reduction power dissipation associated with the sending of unnecessary data. By aggregating data, we can control energy consumption by reducing redundancy.  Data aggregation is a really effective technique for WSN. In this paper we discuss the aggregation of data and their complex energy-efficient approach used for data aggregation in WSN. This paper highlights the latest innovations in WSNs vital for the research in agricultural domain, further we present their classification & did a comparative analysis of the discussed protocols, the nomenclature of energy saving & harvesting strategies used in agricultural monitoring. Further it discuss the difficulties and drawbacks of WSNs in context of agriculture, The presented comparative study will helpful in increasing number of data processing opportunities available through the Internet of Things (IoT).

Most students learn in different ways and have different strengths and challenges. Turkish students suffer from some kinds of difficulty in learning chemistry taught in English, whether in school or university.The language of instruction can affect aspects of a student’s ability to learn. In this study, the difficulties that Turkish students face in studying chemistry in English are evaluated through a survey of students’ opinions at the Department of Nutrition in the University of Gelisim. The results showed that a 52.6% of students suffer from learning difficulties in the English language, which was reflected in their participation in discussions during the lecture, so a large percentage of them (48.6%) resorted to taking notes during the lecture in Turkish and a large proportion of them (45.6%) also believed that the situation would be better if English terms were used alongside Turkish in textbooks. The study claims there is a possibilityof improving students’ level in the English language thus improving students’ abilities to comprehend chemistry through the applicability of various teaching methods. The study draws heavily on both the Communicative and Natural Approach to deal with communication difficulties in chemistry classes.

A C4.5 Decision Tree Algorithm with MRMR Features Selection Based Recommendation System for Tourists
Authors: M. Raghavendra Reddy B. Santhosh Kumar,
Published: February 2021

One of the most difficult tasks for tourists when preparing travel, both before and during travel, is selecting a tourist destination from the information that is accessible on the Internet and from other outlets. Previous Travel Recommendation Systems (TRSs) have tried to resolve this issue. We are applying the C4.5 decision tree algorithm in this paper with the collection of MRMR features to propose tourist travel areas by using datasets from previous tourist encounters. Both existing algorithms, such as interactive or content filtering algorithms, use data from current users' previous history to suggest new locations to them. If this current user has no data from previous encounters, these algorithms won't work. To solve the above problem, we use C4.5 decision tree algorithms that take previous user interactions and then generate a model and if new users enter their criteria, the decision tree will predict the best position based on its feedback. Decision Tree does not require previous history data from new users. The framework is built using a two-step process of feature selection to minimize the number of inputs to the system and Decision Tree C4.5 makes recommendations.
