Innovation Policy Coordination: The Role of Communication for Uzbekistan
Authors: Mukhitdinov Rozdon D.
Published: September 2024

The relative importance of various drivers of economic growth and prosperity has evolved over time, and innovation is the primary driver of economic growth for a growing number of countries. Innovations can be developed in countries where the state innovation policy is effectively implemented, and the state coordinates the subjects of innovation policy. The coordination requires integration, digitalization and sharing of information across departments and sectors. The objective of this paper is to describe how Uzbekistan’s innovation system has evolved during the last decade since Uzbekistan moved from a highly regulated mixed economy to an open market economy. In this process, we start by describing the national innovation system of Uzbekistan, describe some of the key changes in the innovation policy coordination system, the legal acts of reforming the public administration, the bodies responsible for the implementation of laws, monitoring and evaluating the fulfillment of the set strategic tasks. Then we will reveal the state’s role in coordinating and establishing an effective national innovation policy, reveal the theoretical aspects and compare them with the implementation in Uzbekistan. For these purposes, data from open and transparent sources from 2009 to 2021 are analyzed, and the impact of various factors on Uzbekistan’s economic and innovative development using econometric analysis is evaluated. The conclusion of the research consists of the recommendations that are given in order to improve the state innovation policy, establish communication and achieve the goals of the government.
The use of geodetic measurements in the assessment of the technical condition of road pavement – case study
Authors: Wróblewska Magdalena , Grygierek Marcin
Published: September 2024

Technical infrastructure is exposed to environmental impacts throughout its entire life cycle. For linear objects, such as roads, additional impacts resulting from their continuous use – vehicle traffic – are distinguished. Due to their communication function, these facilities are subject to ongoing condition monitoring. This procedure allows to identify any damage and indicate appropriate protective measures. Observations of the terrain as well as the road surface can be carried out using commonly used geodetic measurements. Cyclic monitoring applies especially to facilities in mining areas, where impacts in the form of continuous and discontinuous deformations significantly contribute to their damage. The research presents the results of selected geodetic measurements made on a deformed road surface affected by underground mining. The aim of the observations was to use both classic and modern measurement techniques to determine, among others, the shape of the surface or identify damage. The applied measurements included commonly used total station measurements and GNSS satellite positioning. Additionally, low-ceiling photogrammetry using an unmanned aerial vehicle and laser scanning were used to illustrate the shape of the road surface. Finally, a comparison was made of selected methods; their advantages and disadvantages allowed us to determine their usefulness in monitoring the condition of the pavement.

Published: September 2024

The article addresses the problem of doctrinal development of the concept of lands intended for burial. Based on the typical approach for the formal-logical procedure of definition, a set of generic concepts supplemented by specific characteristics of burial grounds is considered. The article identifies two types of problems solved by the category of lands under consideration. Satisfaction of the spiritual and religious needs of the population in the organization of places of burial of deceased loved ones pursues the solution of non-utilitarian tasks. At the same time, ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological safety of settlements from the penetration of toxic chemicals from burial sites indicates the existence of purely utilitarian tasks of these lands. The set of specific characteristics disclosed in the current legislation and legal doctrine of the Russian Federation allows us to offer the author's understanding of the concept of lands intended for burial. The proposed concept can serve as a basis for changing land legislation.

Published: September 2024

The demographic development in Germany will ensure an increasing demand and a decreasing supply of medical services in the outpatient sector in the next ten years. Attractiveness and expectations with regard to the branch office were surveyed with the help of an online survey in a mixed-methods design. The quantitative analysis included a descriptive presentation of the results and a stepwise multiple linear regression on the dependent variable of job satisfaction. The qualitative analysis was carried out by means of a content-structured qualitative content analysis according to Kuckartz. 121 doctors answered the online questionnaire. The fulfilment of expectations of the Doctor‘s office in the sum score was just over 50% (mean 15.42/30, SD 4.63). The regression model for job satisfaction was significant (<0.001; R² 0.241). Job satisfaction increases significantly when expectations of flexible working hours and autonomous working are met. In particular, the bureaucratic effort in the Doctors‘s office and the perceived pressure to act were misjudged.

Authors:   _fbeta, Bleß Hans-Holger , Witte Ines ,   Novo Nordisk Pharma
Published: September 2024

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a growing public health challenge closely associated with metabolic syndrome. It manifests itself from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis (MASH), fibrosis and cirrhosis. The revised nomenclature better reflects the role of metabolic disorders. The pathophysiology is complex, characterised by metabolic risk factors, lipotoxicity and inflammatory processes. Advances in research emphasise the importance of mitochondrial functions and immune responses. In diagnostics, non-invasive methods have priority in order to minimise risks and costs. Imaging techniques and serum-based scores support the assessment of fibrosis stages. Treatment focusses on lifestyle changes, especially weight reduction and physical activity. Pharmacological interventions are still under investigation, with promising approaches in clinical trials. The high prevalence of MASLD in diabetic patients and its association with severe complications emphasise the urgency of effective diagnostic and treatment strategies. Future research and innovative therapies are crucial to improve the prognosis for affected individuals and reduce the burden of disease.
Recently Divorced Adults with Resident Minor Children, 2022
Authors: Wiborg Corrine
Published: September 2024

After reaching a 40-year low for two consecutive years (2020 and 2021 at 14.0 divorces per 1,000 married women), divorce rates have risen slightly in 2022 to 14.6 divorces per 1,000 married women (FP-23-24). Among recently divorced individuals, many may be parents with resident children. Using the American Community Survey (ACS) data from 2022, we estimate whether minor children (either biological, stepchildren, or adopted) are present in the household among recently divorced (within the last year) parents aged 18-55. Currently, the ACS does not capture divorced individuals with nonresident children and thus these figures underestimate the percentage of recently divorced individuals who have minor children. We first present comparisons of recently divorced parents to their counterparts, namely, married parents who did not experience a divorce in the last year. Additionally, we investigate the prevalence of minor children among recently divorced individuals by race/ethnicity, educational attainment, and age of the child.
Alive in Love
Authors: Vidya
Published: September 2024

Alive in Love is a compilation of three journal entries from different moments in my lifetime when I have experienced immense heartbreak due to experiencing immense love. These narratives explore my understanding of love over the years, how it factors into both my work as a PhD student and into my overall positionality on love as a queer woman of colour, bringing into question the notion of love as ontological—as a singular, all-consuming reality. The piece questions whether the nature of my love - the way I experience and understand love from my subjugated standpoint, is graspable through the structure of colonial language, or any language, for that matter. Each entry formulates love within and outside the western categorical understandings of love as either romantic, platonic, or affectionate as simple, raw, unrefined expressions of the different forms of love that exist and the heartbreak that follows.
the fridge
Authors: Moughal Sehar
Published: September 2024

‘the fridge’ portrays the unattended parts of my soul, my being. Most days, I am exhausted because I do too much for too many people: I am a mother, I provide for my family financially, I am a graduate student, I work in the mental health sector, and I am a teacher at a university. People tell me that I have it all, that I am “passionate”, and I am a “force to reckon with”. But some days, I am just tired. On those days, I want to hide away, be “normal”, neither passionate nor a force, but merely human. This poem was written on one such day, a day where feeling more than, being more than, was not enough and too much. ‘the fridge’ is not just a poem; nor is it just a metaphor. It is my reality of how exhausting it is to try to live up to whom I am meant to be, never carving enough space for who I am. ‘the fridge’ is my surrender and also my (be)coming of home.
The Reticent Revolution of Sexual Daydreams
Authors: Crisostomo Annalissa
Published: September 2024

Daydreaming is a spoken word poem that captures the intimate moment in which a woman fantasizes about having sex with her ‘crush’. Although romantic and tender at times, this piece is not a snapshot of ‘everlasting love’ between two people, but of the reticent revolution of self-love, self-indulgence, and self-surrender that invokes sexual daydreams. brown’s (2019) ‘Pleasure Activism’ observes the sensual imagination as a private and safe place where we develop fantasies of what we desire – what we want to do to others, or what we want done to us by others or what we want to witness, while acknowledging that these fantasies are heavily influenced by cultural social norms and intersecting systems of hierarchy that can perpetuate the disempowerment of ourselves and others. This leads brown to recognize sexual fantasies as sites for radical healing and liberation – as a quiet space where we get to intentionally work on developing new fantasies and generate power in and/or out of the bedroom. Inspired by brown’s work, Daydreaming challenges androcentric and suppressive cultures of sexual exploitation and repression by (re)imagining and (re)claiming sex as something full of reciprocity, rapture, and vocality, thus disrupting the long-standing history of silencing survivors of sexual trauma and the patriarchal view that sexual pleasure is primarily for white straight cis men. As such, the poem embodies counter-hegemony, not only offering us an opportunity to see, feel, sense, and imagine differently, but to also (re)shape “our real-life desires and practices”, as brown (2019) puts it (p. 222). By creating space to envision new imaginary landscapes of sexual healing, sexual empowerment, and sexual liberation, Daydreaming reminds us of the power and potential of the radical sexual imagination to liberate a part of our (sexual) selves from within. It seeks to celebrate the political and liberating process of shamelessly luxuriating in our own erotic imaginations to activate our inner sexual worlds, and thus to produce social change.

Published: September 2024

The theme for this issue is foregrounded in Kevin Quashie’s (2012) concept of “the quiet”, a term he coined to capture the limitations of blackness as a public discourse that privileges resistant expressiveness as a singular framework. Grounded in African American culture, Quashie asks, “is it possible to engage in public discourse of black identity beyond the imperative of resistance?” (p. 27) With this, Quashie offers us another way of reading Black life beyond defiance and un-livability that welcomes the whimsy of the interior—describing a space of personal inwardness, aliveness, that allows for the unexpected to be possible.
Penegakan Hukum terhadap Pelaku Tindak Pidana Penambangan Pasir Secara Illegal
Authors: Ananta Anastasia Esa
Published: September 2024

Mining is a natural resource that cannot be renewed so it must be managed as well as possible, efficiently and transparently and paying attention to the environmental impacts resulting from mining activities. The rampant illegal sand mining that occurs in Batam, Indonesia can certainly cause environmental damage. The aim of this research is to determine and analyze the regulation and law enforcement against perpetrators of illegal sand mining crimes. The research method used in this research is descriptive-analytic with a juridical-normative type of research. The results of research on regulations regarding perpetrators of illegal sand mining crimes are regulated in Article 158 which reads "every person who carries out mining without a permit as intended in article 35 shall be punished with a maximum imprisonment of 5 (five) years and a maximum fine of IDR 100,000,000,000 .00 (one hundred billion rupiah)”. Law enforcement against perpetrators of criminal acts of illegal sand mining, namely being sentenced by the Batam District Court with Batam District Court Decision No. 515/Pid.Sus/2022/PN Btm is the sentence imposed by the panel of judges including imprisonment for 1 year and 3 months for each defendant, as well as a fine of IDR 500,000,000.00. The conclusion is that law enforcement is running well and shows the court's seriousness in dealing with violations of mining and environmental protection laws. Additional punishment in the form of imprisonment if the fine is not paid, emphasizes that compliance with the law is non-negotiable.
Observability-Aware Differential Dynamic Programming with Impulsive Maneuvers
Authors: Fujiwara Masahiro , Funase Ryu
Published: September 2024

In autonomous space systems, the reliability of navigation systems is essential. Observability in autonomous orbit determination techniques depends on the spacecraft’s orbital motion, making the design of autonomous navigation systems and orbital maneuvers a coupled process. This study develops a stable and efficient algorithm based on differential dynamic programming to design maneuver sequences that improve navigation performance. Our approach incorporates the Fisher information matrix into a cost function to quantify state observability and facilitates its convergence using a semi-analytic gradient and Hessian derived under impulsive maneuvers. Two numerical examples show the validity and effectiveness of our algorithm. The results indicate the stability and efficiency in determining maneuver sequences and the improvement of state estimation accuracy along an optimized trajectory. It is also applicable to other observability-aware optimal control problems because the algorithm is independent of specific systems.
Schlieren-Based Analysis of Supersonic Multistream Control Using Data-Driven and Filtering Techniques
Authors: Kelly Seth , Sun Yiyang , Glauser Mark , Gaitonde Datta
Published: September 2024

Synchronized time-resolved schlieren and far-field pressure measurements were used to examine control of a supersonic multi-aperture rectangular single- expansion ramp nozzle with an aft deck. The design contains core (Mach 1.6) and bypass (sonic) streams mixing behind a splitter plate, generating a high-frequency tone. Control was applied through splitter-plate trailing-edge spanwise waviness (passive), spanwise-arranged microjet blowing actuators (active), and their combination (hybrid). Passive and hybrid control successfully alleviate the tone, whereas active control amplifies and alters the tone frequency. Time-averaged schlieren data show changes to mean shock structures with control. Spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) spectra from the raw schlieren data are consistent with the far-field measurements and reveal coherent structural details. Radiation associated with high-frequency structures is inhibited by passive and hybrid control that enhance mixing, but not by active control. Momentum potential theory filtering prior to SPOD application augments the analysis by isolating irrotational content, providing additional clues on acoustic vs hydrodynamic mechanisms. The results indicate shock–shear-layer interaction and shedding as sources of low- and high-frequency content, respectively. As such, through suitable processing, relatively easy-to-obtain high-speed schlieren provides a powerful tool to assess complex flow-control physics.

Authors: Borgmann David , Cura Carolina , Weiss Julien , Little Jesse
Published: September 2024

Three-dimensional behavior of low-frequency unsteadiness in the incompressible turbulent separation bubble (TSB) produced by a wall-mounted hump is investigated using time-resolved planar and stereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurements at several planes across the separated region. The aspect ratio (wind tunnel width/separation length, [Formula: see text]) provides nominally two-dimensional flow for more than half of the spanwise extent of the test section. Analysis in the streamwise/wall-normal plane along the center of the test section shows low-frequency ([Formula: see text]) large-scale motion of the separated region. The flowfield contains features of both geometry-induced and pressure-gradient-induced separation, but unsteady dynamics produce dominant frequencies closer to geometry-induced TSBs ([Formula: see text]) compared to purely pressure-gradient-induced TSBs ([Formula: see text]). Measurements along the spanwise direction and parallel to the initial shear layer development show strong evidence that the low-frequency motion is inherently three-dimensional, providing an additional dimension to the understanding of the flapping/breathing typically observed in planar streamwise/wall-normal measurements. Spectral proper orthogonal decomposition and low-order modeling identify spanwise undulations with wavelengths of the order of [Formula: see text] and frequencies of [Formula: see text]. The three-dimensional behavior causes a peak/valley formation along the span and a more localized expansion/contraction, leading to only small variations in the integral volume of the TSB.
Interaction Length Analysis of Hypersonic Shock–Boundary-Layer Interaction Including High-Enthalpy Effects
Authors: Rathi Harsha , Sinha Krishnendu
Published: September 2024

Shock-induced flow separation plays an important role in practical applications of hypersonic flows, like intake unstart and unsteady aeroelastic phenomena. The size of the shock–boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) region determines the extent of choking in engine inlet ducts. Recent scaling studies have shown that interaction length is a function of shock-induced pressure jump, upstream Mach number, Reynolds number, wall heating/cooling, and flow deflection angle at the shock wave. In this work, we analyze the interaction length scaling for different hypersonic SBLI cases at varying flow enthalpies. We perform Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations, using a shock-strength-dependent turbulence model, of hypersonic SBLI flows over a range of Mach numbers and at flow enthalpies where vibrational nonequilibrium starts to be important. The numerical results closely match the experimental data, validating the RANS predictions. The size of the separation bubble in such high-enthalpy cases is found to not follow the known scaling relations. We propose a modified scaling that collapses a wide range of hypersonic Mach numbers and freestream enthalpy conditions. We also derive the high-Mach-number limit to demonstrate that wall cooling/heating and geometry are the main factors affecting the size of the SBLI region in hypersonic flows.

Many scientific space missions need highly precise attitude and orbit control or ultrafine drag compensation, which relies on the variable-thrust propulsion technology operating at the micronewton level. Cold gas thruster (CGT) is a very promising solution, mainly because of its high reliability. One of the keys to the success of micronewton variable-thrust CGT is to understand the flow in its nozzle, whose configuration is much more complex than traditional CGT nozzles. This paper applies kinetic-based multiscale models to investigate the gas flow in the complex nozzle of a micronewton variable-thrust CGT. The simulations reveal that the flow simultaneously experiences all kinds of regimes from continuum to free molecular. The continuum breakdown is likely to occur near the throat region due to large gradients of flow variables and in the expander due to low gas density. Frictional choking is observed, and the nozzle length can be optimized to improve the thruster performance. Nozzle performance measures such as thrust, discharge coefficient, and thrust efficiency are found to change only with the throat Knudsen number [Formula: see text]. The performance curves can be divided into two sections at [Formula: see text], and thereby an empirical piecewise formula for thrust prediction is proposed.

Актуальность. Ахроматопсия является врожденной аутосомно-рецессивной патологией, при которой происходит снижение или полное отсутствие функции колбочек. Цель. Представить клинический случай пациентки с CNGB3-ассоциированной ахроматопсией. Материал и методы. Проведено обследование пациентки с диагнозом «Ахроматопсия» с определением морфофункциональных изменений по результатам оптической когерентной томографии (ОКТ) сетчатки, аутофлуоресценции (АФ) глазного дна и электроретинографии (ЭРГ). Результаты. На прием обратилась пациентка в возрасте 13 лет с жалобами на светобоязнь, пониженное зрение обоих глаз. Максимальная корригированная острота зрения с гиперметропической рефракцией слабой степени составила 0,2 обоих глаз. У пациентки определялся нистагм. Со слов родителей, светобоязнь и нистагм появились, когда пациентке было 3 месяца. При проведении ОКТ сетчатки определялось разрежение эллипсоидной зоны фоторецепторов на всем протяжении среза. По результатам аутофлуоресценции глазного дна определялась округлая зона гипопигментации в фовеоле, окруженная гиперпигментированным кольцом. Проведенная ЭРГ выявила нарушение колбочкового ответа, в том числе при проведении хроматической ЭРГ. Пациентке проведено молекулярно-генетическое исследование, которое определило патогенный вариант нуклеотидной последовательности в экзоне 10 гена CNGB3 в гомо/гемизиготном состоянии, приводящий к сдвигу рамки считывания и образования преждевременного стоп-кодона. Выводы. Проведение комплексной диагностики позволяет установить клинико-генетический диагноз ахроматопсии и определить корректную тактику ведения таких пациентов.

Актуальность. Представлены отдаленные результаты лечения синдрома первичного персистирующего гиперпластического стекловидного тела (ППГСТ) у детей. Цель. Оценка отдаленных результатов лечения детей с синдромом ППГСТ. Материал и методы. Проведено обследование и хирургическое лечение 63 детей (63 глаза) с синдромом ППГСТ. Средний возраст детей во время операции — 8,4±0,4 месяца (от 1 до 48 мес.). Очковая и контактная коррекция афакии — 16 пациентов (16 глаз). Имплантация ИОЛ проведена при переднем варианте синдрома ППГСТ у 45 детей, при заднем — у 18. Средний срок наблюдения — 11,3±0,3 года (от 2 до 19 лет). Результаты. При III–IV степенях ретрохрусталиковой мембраны (РХМ) через 3–5 лет после операции в 4 случаях потребовалась замена или удаление ИОЛ в связи с ее смещением вперед из капсулярного мешка. Острота зрения у грудных детей с передним (I–II–III степень РХМ) и задним вариантом синдрома ПГПСТ в отдаленные сроки наблюдения после имплантации ИОЛ составила соответственно 0,12±0,06 и 0,15±0,03. Выводы. При III–IV степени РХМ возможна первичная или вторичная имплантация ИОЛ с иридоцилиарной фиксацией. Оперативное лечение в этом случае необходимо планировать не ранее 4–6 месяцев. Имплантация ИОЛ у детей с передним (I–II–III степень РХМ) и задним вариантом синдрома ПГПСТ позволяет достичь удовлетворительных функциональных результатов.

Актуальность. Необходимость исследования микрофлоры конъюнктивальной полости детей различных возрастов без признаков воспаления переднего отдела глаза связана с расширением показаний к интравитреальным инъекциям лекарственных препаратов, с повреждениями роговицы, в том числе на почве использования ортокератологических линз для контроля миопии. Цель. Оценка обсемененности конъюнктивальной полости микрофлорой у детей различного возраста. Материал и методы. 204 детям (225 глаз) без признаков воспаления глазного яблока и его вспомогательных органов выполнено бактериологическое исследование содержимого конъюнктивальной полости для определения состава микрофлоры. Обследованные дети были разделены на подгруппы согласно классификации возрастных периодов Н.П. Гундобина (1906). Результаты. Коагулазо-негативные стафилококки (КНС) являются наиболее распространенными микроорганизмами конъюнктивальной полости во все возрастные периоды. В период «раннее детство» КНС встречаются в 70% случаев. В периоды «младенчество» и «первое детство» КНС встречаются в 38,5 и 40,4% случаев соответственно. К возрастам «второе детство» и «подростковый период» частота КНС возрастает до 54,3 и 53,8% случаев, а к периоду «юность» частота КНС уменьшается до 20%. Staph. Aureus встречается почти во всех возрастных периодах, исключая период «младенчество», с частотой от 5% («подростковый период») до 20% («юность»). Минимальная обсемененность отмечена в юношеском возрасте (40%), а в остальные возрастные периоды обсемененность микрофлорой конъюнктивальной полости колеблется от 69,3 до 80%. Выводы. Полученные данные позволяют предположить, что наиболее высокий риск инфекционных осложнений возможен в возрастной период «раннее детство» (1–3 года). Исследование показывает необходимость постоянного мониторинга состава микрофлоры конъюнктивальной полости здоровых детей для предупреждения послеоперационных и посттравматических инфекционных осложнений.
