Communication with the Future and its Appropriation in the Rhetorical Images of Time
Authors: Svatko Yuriy
Published: December 2023

The article presents the material of the original masters-level lecture course “Practical Rhetoric and Communication Management” and addresses the problems of theoretical and applied philosophy regarding the probability factor. It involves free self-awareness, conventional types of knowledge, forecasting modes, specific types of intellectual activity and the relevant types of speech, when communication appears as a dialogue with the future, which, in confirmation of the original unity of time, illuminates all three temporal forms.The Preamble defines the reasons supporting the topicality of the “problem of the future” in the Human World, which provokes a demand for the ability to a) think about the future, b) speak its language, and c) understand its tools. The role of rhetoric in realization of our relationship with the future is noted.In Section I, rhetoric is presented as a kind of art and a subject of knowledge. Considered in three dimensions and in connection with three types of mind, it is defined as the free self-consciousness convincingly expressed in language.Section II presents practical rhetoric as an art of conscious speech management of life in time and space. The connection between it, time and the probable dimension of life has been clarified. The concept and term “rhetorical images of time” are proposed, the possible composition of the latter is given.In Section III, the rhetorical images of time in the field of activity are considered, a definition and language for the rhetoric of purpose, result, and evaluation are proposed. In the “internal” opuscule, the rhetorical “axiomatics of Aristotle” (the author’s term) is formulated, extended from the second to the fifth axiomatizations by the author himself. As a result, the rhetorical axiomatics of a) free self-awareness, b) conventional knowledge, c) project activity – the activity of mastering the future, d) its agents: consultants, analysts, experts, implementers and managers-administrators, e) types of project communication, was obtained. A rhetorical definition of the term “project” is introduced.The Epilogue offers rhetorical definitions of management as powerful communication regarding personal mastery of the future and power as the exercise of the right to manage.
“Davydova Skolota”: a historical-philological note to the text of the Primary Chronicle of Rus
Authors: Aristov Vadym , Dehtiarenko Maryna
Published: December 2023

The article examines a fragment of the Rus Primary Chronicle’s entry for 1097, in which the hapax legomenon “skolota” is used in relation with the accusations of Prince Davyd Ihorovych of Volodymyr in blinding Prince Vasylko Rostyslavych of Terebovl. The article analyses the tradition of interpretation of this word in the late medieval and early modern texts, namely chronicle compilations of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as well as in Vasilii Tatischev’s historical work. It has been demonstrated that the authors or scribes of these texts did not understand the word “skolota” precisely. They tried to replace it with another expression, rephrase the phrase, or simply shorten this fragment of the Primary Chronicle. The versions of the translation of the relevant place of the text in modern scholarly translations into different languages are reviewed. In most cases, scholars have interpreted the word “skolota” and the relevant passage of the chronicle based on a general understanding of the context and artistic taste. The possible origin of the word is examined. Its place in the chronicle narrative, specifically in the context of the characters’ direct speech. The authors conclude that the word “skolota” has a Slavic etymology and is one of the relics of the Kyivan Rus elite’s vernacular.
Historiographical views of the Anti-Hetman uprising (November–December 1918) during the period of 1918–1991
Authors: Vasylynchuk Artem
Published: December 2023

Even though the Anti-Hetman uprising (November-December of 1918) was a short-term and brief military conflict nevertheless, it had a significant impact on the course of the Ukrainian revolution and gained some place in historiography. A characteristic feature of historiography dedicated to the Ukrainian revolution is that part was created by Ukrainian political emigration abroad (in the atmosphere of ideological discussion between different Ukrainian parties), and another part – in the Soviet Union under the pressure of censorship and communist ideology. Accordingly, the depiction of events of the Ukrainian Revolution both in the home country and abroad is significantly ideologized. This is also due to the Anti-Hetman uprising (November-December of 1918). The depiction of this event in historiography throughout the 20th century serves as a notable illustration of how historical narratives can be used as instruments in political and ideological struggles, and in turn, demonstrates how political contention influences the formation of scholarly historical literature.The article highlights and provides an overview of the various perspectives on the Anti-Hetman Uprising in domestic historiography from the conclusion of the conflict until 1991. It examines the evolution and changes in these perspectives throughout the mentioned period. The article also sheds light on the major shifts and trends in approaches to studying this event during different periods of the 20th century. It analyzes the role and influence of political factors in shaping the historical narrative regarding the Anti-Hetman Uprising, as well as identifies the interplay between the political context of the time and historiographical debates.
State сontrol over Soviet Society in the 1920s – 1930s: historiographical review
Authors: Klymenko Oksana
Published: December 2023

The article presents a general overview of historiography regarding state control over Soviet society in the interwar period. For this purpose, it was chosen to consider three elements that were at the basis of the formation of the “new Soviet world,” which the Bolsheviks claimed. The article presents key works devoted to everyday life in the USSR and the history of workers. Research on creating the image of a “new man” and the education of Soviet citizens is also outlined. In addition, the research on the “new language” of variously specialized scientists is characterized since this problem is in the research fi eld of philologists, historians, and scientists of other specialties. After all, creating a new style of talking about the country, society, and oneself was accompanied by both the state language policy and the “language games” of the citizens themselves, who were searching for strategies for correct behavior. The article examines the contextual works of Western researchers on these issues. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the works of Ukrainian researchers about state control over Soviet society.
“We must fight!”. The resistance of the Jews to the genocidal policy in Kremenchuk (1941–1943)
Authors: Borodina Tetiana
Published: December 2023

The article examines an almost unexplored topic about the resistance of the Jews to the Nazi genocidal policy in Kremenchuk. The author reviewed historiographical developments on this issue, outlined terminology, and characterized the source base (a part of the sources is introduced into scientific circulation for the first time). The article analyzes the factors that influenced Holocaust flow in the city: the evolution of the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” during the occupation of the town; events at the front that determined the priority of current tasks for rear structures; demands or the lack of demands for Jewish labor, etc. In accordance with this, the author researched the condition of local Jews and Jews-prisoners of war who got to the Kremenchuk due to the encirclement of parts of the South-Western Front and analyzed the dynamics of the implementation of the Holocaust in the city.The article considers the aspects that prevented the development of a purely Jewish resistance movement in Kremenchuk. Therefore the author explores the opposition of Jews at the individual level and their activities as a member of underground organizations that actively helped Jews (those who were prisoners of war, local people, and those who arrived in the city during the occupation). Consequently, it was investigated that thanks to the cooperation of leaders from among the Soviet prisoners of war and local activists, it was possible to create an effective infrastructure for providing help and rescue to persecuted groups, including Jews. For example, in the «Patriot of the Motherland» underground organization, this infrastructure consisted of a prisoner of war camp, the first city hospital, a Red Cross station, and underground apartments. This enabled those persecuted within the framework of underground organizations to effectively resist the Nazi genocidal policy. The article also analyzes, on an individual level, how both local and Jewish prisoners of war, as well as those who arrived in Kremenchuk, resisted the genocide.
Jew in France after the Holocaust: Piotr Rawicz in Paris, 1947–1982
Authors: Кyrchiv Uliana
Published: December 2023

In 1961, the Polish/Ukrainian/Jewish writer Piotr Rawicz published his debut novel, ‘Blood from the Sky’. Written in French (“Le Sang du ciel”) and published by Gallimard, Rawicz’s novel belongs to the ‘first wave’ of fictional works on the Holocaust that appeared in France in the years immediately following World War II. Well reviewed at the time, scholars of Holocaust literature have continued to refer to Blood from the Sky in recent works on the subject. But the author himself has received much less attention. Born in Lviv in 1919 into an acculturated Jewish family, Rawicz survived the final months of the Second World War in two Nazi concentration camps (Auschwitz and Leitmeritz); then emigrated to Paris in 1947, where he established himself as a writer.The article delves into the timeframe of 1947–1982, encapsulating Piotr Rawicz’s transition to Paris and his life until his passing. It places notable emphasis on the diverse environments that shaped Rawicz’s life and writing. Particularly, the article pays close attention to Rawicz’s connections within Jewish social circles and explores how his experiences and resilience during the Holocaust and his pre-war life in Lviv influenced his approach to forging new identities after settling in France.
Using discourse analysis in contemporary social research
Authors: Ryabchuk Anastasiya , Khurtsydze Tamara
Published: December 2023

The aim of this article is to sum up the principles of social constructivism as a foundation of all theories of discourse, and to identify key characteristics of main discursive theories, as well as perspectives of their use in the research of inequalities. We explore key theories of discourse (critical discourse analysis and theoretical frameworks based on works of Foucault and Laclau and Mouffe), and application of methodological approaches of discourse analysis stemming out from these theories, in current social research. All discourse theories are founded on principles of social constructivism: social construction of knowledge, existence of multiple variants of knowledge, simultaneous construction and reproduction of social reality in the process of social relations, and an idea that subjects construct knowledge inside of discourse, while discourse in turn constructs social reality. Characteristics of discourse theories were identified around criteria of the degree of inclusivity of discourse, functions of discourse, stability of discursive structure, degree of subjects’ agency. Approaches to discourse analysis that stem from the works of Foucault and Laclau and Mouffe suggest a strong link between theory and methodology, with research methods less clearly defined. Critical discourse analysis fills this gap in methodological developments. In particular, for social research purposes, Norman Fairclough’s approach to critical discourse analysis is widely used, looking at discourse as a social practice, a type of speech, typical of a certain area of knowledge, and as an articulation of a person’s or a social group’s lived experience that stems from their structural position. Fairclough’s analytical model consists of three levels: a detailed linguistic analysis of the text, analysis of daily routine practices and ways in which people construct social order, and macrosociological analysis of the social practice. The article ends with discussion of examples and common areas of discourse analysis usage in research of structural social inequalities.

Génesis, presente y futuro del vínculo Colombia-Turquía: de economías emergentes a aliados estratégicos
Authors: Jaramillo Jassir Mauricio , Sezek Nur
Published: December 2023

Turquía se ha proyectado como potencia media a través de un acercamiento al Sur global desde que a principios de la década del 2000 emprendiera una política exterior multifacética y desarrollara relaciones no solo con Europa, sino con el resto del mundo identificando a América Latina como una de sus prioridades. Las relaciones Bogotá-Ankara dan cuenta de una evolución en el accionar externo de ambas naciones y, completada más de una década en la profundización de relaciones políticas, económicas y culturales, es pertinente examinar el nivel de compenetración logrado. El propósito del artículo consiste en observar de qué manera las naciones que hacen parte del Sur global tienen estímulos para nuevos acercamientos que dan cuenta del fortalecimiento de relaciones en la periferia. La hipótesis consiste en que Ankara y Bogotá, al obtener provecho de una estructura que avanza hacia la multipolaridad, se han proyectado como economías emergentes a partir de cambios internos fundamentales. La política exterior no siempre obedece a una estrategia planeada, sino que responde a estímulos externos y a cambios internos, tal ha sido el caso del acercamiento colombo-turco.

El texto se divide en tres partes. Primero, se comparan sus trayectorias en la globalización, en particular desde 2010; segundo, se analiza la evolución de las relaciones comerciales para examinar su impacto en la profundización del vínculo político; finalmente, se ponen en perspectiva los desafíos presentes y futuros de una asociación en ciernes.
A Turquia enquanto potência regional: uma análise da estratégia turca para o continente africano a partir dos anos 2000
Authors: Ziebell de Oliveira Guilherme , Zaffari Losekann Raquel
Published: December 2023

Este artículo trata de la política exterior turca hacia el continente africano en el siglo XXI. Con el fin de la Guerra Fría y del orden mundial centrado en una lógica bipolar, Turquía ha tenido mayor autonomía para gestionar sus relaciones internacionales, manteniendo una política exterior más activa al ampliar sus relaciones económicas, diplomáticas y de seguridad más allá de Occidente. En este contexto, bajo el liderazgo del Partido de la Justicia y el Desarrollo (AKP), el continente africano ha pasado a ocupar un lugar cada vez más destacado en las relaciones exteriores turcas. Así, desde principios de la década de 2000, se ha producido un aumento sustancial de la presencia de Turquía en el continente, caracterizada, entre otros aspectos, por la intensificación de los flujos comerciales bilaterales, la ampliación de la red diplomática en el continente, su participación en la mediación de conflictos y la oferta de ayuda humanitaria a los actores africanos. Así, y basándose en la literatura sobre potencias medias y potencias regionales, el estudio analiza la intensificación de los vínculos de Turquía con los países africanos desde principios del siglo XXI, entendiéndola como parte de una estrategia de proyección internacional más amplia. Para ello, el escrito adopta un enfoque hermenéutico, apoyándose en la revisión de la literatura sobre las relaciones turco-africanas y el análisis de datos cuantitativos de la evolución de estas relaciones en los ejes político, económico y de seguridad a lo largo del período en cuestión.
Analyzing the convergence of transport network connectivity: Case for Türkiye and its neighbors
Authors: Acık Abdullah , Atacan Can
Published: December 2023

El intenso comercio entre China y Europa aumenta la competencia entre los países del Mediterráneo, el Egeo y el Mar Negro en rutas alternativas. Para obtener una participación significativa de este sector, la conectividad a las redes de transporte debe ser adecuada. El indicador más importante desarrollado para medir la conectividad es el Liner Shipping Connectivity Index (LSCI). Al utilizar este índice, se pueden hacer inferencias sobre posibles competidores al determinar qué diferencias de países divergen o convergen en el largo plazo. En la investigación se creó una muestra de los vecinos y competidores de Türkiye en el transporte marítimo, que incluye a Bulgaria, Egipto, Georgia, Grecia, Israel, Líbano, Rumania, Rusia y Ucrania. Para comprobar la convergencia probamos la raíz unitaria utilizando las diferencias logarítmicas de los valores LSCI de Türkiye y otros países. Los países que convergen con Türkiye son Bulgaria, Líbano, Rumania y Ucrania. Dado que los valores medios del LSCI de los países convergentes son inferiores a los de Türkiye, se convertirán en posibles competidores en la región. Egipto y Grecia están divergiendo y su papel dominante en la región continuará. Sería beneficioso para Türkiye fortalecer su infraestructura en rutas de transporte alternativas, así como en transporte marítimo.
La educación lectora en el campo y su vinculación con las Economías Comunitarias, Familiares y Campesinas (ECFC): un encuentro a favor de la dignidad de los pueblos
Authors: Duque-Cardona Natalia
Published: December 2023

Este artículo es el resultado del proyecto de investigación posdoctoral Cosechando la palabra para alimentar la vida: la educación lectora y su vínculo con la economía familiar, rural y comunitaria (EFCC): una mirada a los contextos culturales (bibliotecas) y escolares (escuelas), que tuvo como objetivo explorar cómo los programas de educación lectora pueden contribuir al fortalecimiento de las economías comunitarias, familiares y campesinas (ECFC)? ¿Cómo se pueden articular las prácticas bibliotecarias con la economía comunitaria, familiar y campesina (ECFC)? Para ello, se parte de la exploración de los conceptos de ruralidad, Economía Familiar y Comunitaria Campesina (ECFC) y Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial. Posteriormente, reflexionamos sobre cómo se puede articular la educación lectora con el Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial tomando como referencia los Lineamientos Estratégicos de Políticas Públicas en Agricultura Campesina, Familiar y Comunitaria -ACFC- de Colombia, propuestos en la Resolución 464 de 2017. Finalmente, propone un borrador de ideas para un programa de educación lectora, que articule estrategias de la política pública a través de prácticas bibliotecarias a favor de la dignidad y la vida en el campo. Esperando que esto contribuya a la reducción de las desigualdades en las zonas rurales, a la potencialización de las funciones ecológicas y económicas de la biblioteca y a la valorización de las culturas y conocimientos tradicionales en contraposición a las ideologías liberales que privilegian el agronegocio del latifundio

Authors: Vale Simone do
Published: December 2023

Este artigo examina as redes de canais sugeridos para três videoclipes de rap indígena no YouTube, com o objetivo de avaliar as condições de visibilidade para esse conteúdo na plataforma de vídeos da Google, Inc. Portanto, o trabalho discute o conflito entre o ideal de comunicação como direito humano e a economia política de viés neoliberal do YouTube, que se materializa sob a forma dos algoritmos do sistema de recomendação da plataforma, por meio da coleta de dados públicos com o programa YouTube Data Tools. A análise indica que, apesar das numerosas visualizações, o sistema de recomendação, em geral, não favorece esses vídeos, utilizando-os, inclusive, para promover canais corporativos
Guerras culturais, hacking e as vulnerabilidades do jornalismo à desinformação
Authors: Träsel Marcelo
Published: December 2023

O artigo busca identificar vulnerabilidades do jornalismo que vêm sendo exploradas por grupos de interesse capazes de “hackear” as rotinas produtivas das redações para difundir desinformação. A partir da análise de acontecimentos da política brasileira entre 2018 e 2022, apontou-se para a) casos nos quais a valorização das fontes de alta hierarquia permitiu a difusão de alegações falsas e gerou matéria-prima para propaganda em favor do ex-presidente; b) nos quais o princípio da objetividade resultou em jornalismo declaratório ou falsas equivalências; e c) nos quais a relevância conferida às polêmicas em redes sociais como acontecimentos jornalísticos redundou na amplificação de ideias da extrema direita no noticiário. Conclui-se pela necessidade de uma revisão dos princípios, valores e práticas profissionais do jornalismo, de modo que seus aspectos vulneráveis à exploração por agentes de desinformação sejam atualizados
Hegemonia e distinção em manifestações de humoristas brasileiros sobre liberdade de expressão
Authors: Scabin Nara Lya Cabral
Published: December 2023

O artigo pretende contribuir para a compreensão das formas pelas quais são representados, em discursos produzidos por humoristas brasileiros, o lugar e o papel da categoria liberdade de expressão em relação às disputas por capital e às formas de distinção no campo do humor. Nesse percurso, espera-se investigar os modos pelos quais elementos relacionados a processos de produção de hegemonia no campo humorístico, com destaque para a mobilização da liberdade de expressão na galvanização de imaginários difusos, relacionam-se com as regras internalizadas por seus atores sociais e suas estratégias de distinção. Para tanto, elege-se, como estudo de caso, a intensa repercussão midiática do episódio no qual o Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo determinou, em 16 de maio de 2023, a remoção do vídeo Perturbador, publicado em 2022 no canal do comediante Léo Lins no YouTube. Como corpus, foram examinados enunciados de humoristas em episódios de podcasts brasileiros. A pesquisa evidenciou que a demarcação de posicionamentos em defesa da liberdade de expressão desempenha papel central na forma como humoristas representam o campo humorístico em suas falas; além disso, à tentativa de fixar um sentido último, supostamente verdadeiro e incontestável, sobre o que significa fazer comédia, parece corresponder um habitus legitimado entre humoristas brasileiros cujos enunciados vinculam-se ao que denominamos articulação discursiva hegemônica no campo do humor
Assessing Complexity and Stakeholder and Rightsholder Trust in Outdoor Recreation Management on the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail
Authors: Rushing Jaclyn Fox , Thomsen Jennifer M.
Published: December 2023

The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (PNT) traverses 1,200 miles from the Continental Divide to the Pacific Ocean. The portion of the trail in Northwest Montana and the Idaho Panhandle is at the nexus of a complex conflict situation involving outdoor recreation, wildlife conservation, and social-cultural values. This evolving conflict has gained national attention due to the diverse stakeholder interests and litigation against the US Forest Service, who administers the trail. The tension among the stakeholder groups and the various ecological and social-cultural dimensions at play illuminate the complexity of managing long-distance trails. Administrators of long-distance trails must evaluate and mitigate social, ecological, and cultural risks. This research note explores complexity and trust ecology among key PNT stakeholders, and discusses opportunities for incorporating trust research in transboundary recreation planning and research.
Kwestia językowa a kształtowanie się politycznej mapy Europy i świata. Tendencje ogólne i najnowsze zmiany
Authors: Szul Roman
Published: December 2023

Historię Europy i świata można przedstawić jako historię relacji między terytorium państwa a obszarem językowym. Poza najwcześniejszym okresem państw plemiennych Europę i świat cechowała niezależność państwa i języka – na terytorium państwa mówiono wieloma językami, te same języki były używane w wielu państwach, na tym samym terytorium używano różnych języków w różnych funkcjach. W późniejszych okresach następuje upraszczanie sytuacji językowej – dopasowywanie języka do terytorium i dopasowywanie terytorium do języka, redukcja liczby języków sfery publicznej. Proces ten najintensywniejszy przebieg miał w Europie w epoce nowoczesności i nacjonalizmu (ok. 1800–1950, na części obszaru Europy również później do dnia dzisiejszego). Towarzyszyły temu konflikty polityczne wewnątrz poszczególnych państw i międzypaństwowe zmieniające radykalnie mapę polityczną kontynentu. W efekcie w Europie istnieje niemal idealna sytuacja, gdzie każde państwo ma swój własny język i każdy język ma swoje państwo. Poza Europą podobne procesy zachodzą, w wolniejszym tempie, w większości krajów Azji, gdzie każde państwo ma swój główny język. W Azji jednak nie miało miejsca dopasowywanie terytorium państwa do obszarów językowych. W krajach postkolonialnych w Ameryce, Afryce (poza arabskimi), Oceanii i Azji (Indie, Singapur) cechą charakterystyczną jest to, że językiem państwowym jest język dawnej metropolii kolonialnej. W państwach arabskich dziedzictwo kolonialne powoduje istnienie tych państw i określa ich granice, jednak nacjonalizm arabski jest na tyle silny, by sprawić, że językiem tych państw jest wspólny język arabski.
Roman Umiastowski - zapomniany polski geograf
Authors: Eberhardt Piotr
Published: December 2023

W artykule przedstawiono drogę życiową i dokonania twórcze polskiego geografa Romana Umiastowskiego (1893–1982). Był on w okresie międzywojennym oficerem sztabowym wojska polskiego w stopniu pułkownika. Równocześnie był z zamiłowania geografem i autorem wielu książek i artykułów naukowych. W części wprowadzającej omówiono jego szlak bojowy na frontach I wojny światowej i walk o niepodległość Polski (1918–1920). Następnie zaprezentowano jego osiągnięcia, jako uczonego, publicystę i wykładowcę w wyższych szkołach wojskowych. Na początku lat 20. ubiegłego wieku napisał m.in. dwie książki – Terytorium Polski pod względem wojskowym oraz Geografia wojenna Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej i ziem ościennych. Były to, nie tylko w polskiej literaturze geograficznej, ale i w światowej, pozycje nowatorskie poświęcone geografii militarnej. Zostały omówione w nich założenia metodyczne oraz walory merytoryczne. Zaznaczono ponadto, że Umiastowski był także autorem opracowań z zakresu geografii politycznej, m.in. rozpatrywał stosunki polsko-rosyjskie i polsko-niemieckie. Po agresji niemieckiej, a później sowieckiej na Polskę we wrześniu 1939 roku znalazł się we Francji, a później dotarł do Wielkiej Brytanii, gdzie nadal prowadził aktywną działalność publicystyczną. Po wojnie, aż do śmierci pozostał na emigracji, gdzie zajmował się działalnością kolekcjonerską zbierając stare mapy i ryciny, głównie dotyczące historii Polski w XVII i XVIII wieku.

On the issue of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of organic fuels
Authors: Kozhevnikov Vitaly A. , Fedyukhin Alexander V. , Strogonov Konstantin V.
Published: December 2023

Relevance. Russia has ratified the Paris Climate Agreement. However, European legislation is ambiguously aimed at extracting its own benefits in the current international relations, especially during the period of sanctions against Russia. Expectation of introduction of a carbon tax on the products and services of industry organizations requires a comprehensive analysis of the situation in the field of technology and technologies that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Aim. Study of approaches and technologies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions that stimulate the environmentally friendly production of thermal and electrical energy; identification of promising and affordable greenhouse gas condensation technology for domestic energy and features of its application. Object. The list of greenhouse gases was established by the Kyoto Protocol in 1996. The main of greenhouse gases for the energy sector are emissions of carbon dioxide generated by burning fuel in generating heat and electricity. Methods. Analysis of literature data on technologies for utilization of greenhouse gases, the possibilities of its use and reduction of emissions. Analytical calculations were performed to assess the effectiveness of carbon dioxide condensation technology. Results. The authors have carried out the analysis of literature data on regulatory requirements, UN recommendations and aspects of greenhouse gas utilization. They established a promising and affordable technology of greenhouse gas condensation in order to capture and absorb carbon dioxide during fuel combustion when producing thermal and electrical energy. The paper introduces the economic assessment of the costs of purchasing sorbents and the possibility of their extraction and conclusions on the utopian of the tasks of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Effect of high-intensity ultrasonic field on fog droplet coagulation efficiency
Authors: Dorovskikh Roman S. , Puzhaikina Anna E. , Tertishnikov Pavel P. , Nesterov Viktor A. , Shalunov Andrey V.
Published: December 2023

The relevance. The urgent need to deal with fog for preventing limited visibility and creating improved meteorological conditions. Exposure to gas dispersed systems by mechanical vibrations of the ultrasonic frequency can be considered as the most effective way to deal with fog formation. However, the acoustic method has not found an industrial application for fog destruction mainly due to the lack of effective sources of acoustic exposure. Therefore, it is necessary to create emitters of higher power that provide a significantly greater range of radiation with a sound pressure level of at least 140 dB and study of their functionality. The main aim. Determination of the effectiveness of fog destruction through the use of ultrasonic vibrations generated by the developed ultrasonic emitters; identification of the most promising design of ultrasonic equipment that ensures effective destruction of fogs in open areas. Objects. Combining fog droplets under high-intensity ultrasonic exposure using specially designed ultrasonic emitters for gas media of four types. Methods. Experimental method for studying fog droplets combination under the influence of ultrasonic vibrations and their gravitational deposition. To determine the aerosol (water content and disperse composition) characteristics, during experimental studies, the authors have used the TIPAS-1 meter based on the method of small-angle scattering and the method of spectral transparency. Results. The authors established and shown the effectiveness of ultrasonic effect on fogs, as well as the possibility of its use for fog destruction in an open area. All developed disc ultrasonic emitters are capable of forming a sound pressure level within 140... 145 dB at 22±2.0 kHz. The time of fog natural destruction in the aerosol chamber is reduced by up to 11.5 times. The results obtained demonstrate that it is necessary to use more powerful disc emitters, since they can significantly reduce the time of fog destruction and increase the volumes voiced at the same time. The minimum time for establishing the required metrological range of visibility is provided by means of a directional emitter with a stepped-variable surface, forming a flat wave.

Relevance. Relative phase permeabilities determine oil by water displacement mechanism, efficiency of productive formations flooding, dynamics of producing wells flooding. Relative phase permeabilities curves allow us to estimate the inflow nature according to geophysical well studies. Currently, relative phase permeabilities curves are constructed according to core samples laboratory studies. They are used to select a mathematical model describing the nature of the curves for a given productive reservoir. The most optimal option is to justify the individual relative phase permeabilities curve parameters. This option allows transition from the core sample level to the entire productive reservoir characteristics using geophysical well studies data. Aim. To substantiate a choice of a model describing the change in the relative phase permeability curves using field geophysics data based on the adsorbed residual oil saturation and phase permeability to oil relationship. Objects. Productive layers of individual deposits of the West Siberian oil and gas province, confined to the Lower Cretaceous deposits. Methods. Statistical processing of capillarimetric research data, analysis and substantiation of mathematical models describing relative phase permeability. Results. The paper shows that the permeability to oil at residual water saturation (the starting point of the relative phase permeabilities curve to oil) is determined by the adsorbed residual reservoir oil saturation. The authors have obtained the formula, linking the adsorbed residual oil saturation coefficient with the phase permeability to oil with residual water saturation. The adsorbed residual oil saturation is also closely related to the residual reservoir water saturation. Such relation is carried out through the reservoir clay content. The authors proposed the technique that allows residual oil saturation by type structuring and mobility degree. This technique allows as well as finding out the residual reserves of mobile oil distribution to justify the recovery techniques.

The relevance. The need to obtain information on heat treatment effect on composition and structure of nitrogenous bases of resin components of heavy oil from the Nurlatskoe field (Republic of Tatarstan) to solve the problems associated with their negative impact on oil refining. The aim. To characterize the composition of nitrogenous organic bases, isolated from the resins of bituminous oil of the Nurlatskoe field, and the products of their thermal cracking. Methods. Complex formation, extraction, liquid adsorption chromatography, potentiometric titration, 1H NMR spectroscopy, structural group analysis, combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results. Based on a comparative study of the composition and structure of nitrogenous bases of the initial and thermally treated resins of the bituminous oil from the Nurlatskoe field, the authors found out that they both contain high- and low-molecular nitrogenous bases with predominance of high-molecular compounds precipitated by hydrogen chloride. As a result of thermal exposure, the number of such bases increases due to an increase in the proportion of compounds with shorter alkyl substituents in their composition. The method of structural group analysis was used to show that the main directions of thermal transformations of high- and low-molecular bases of resins in Nurlatskoe oil are destruction of alkyl substituents and cyclization of shortened alkyl chains with formation of naphthenic rings. Among the lowest molecular weight bases of the initial resins and thermolysate the authors have identified alkyl-substituted quinolines, benzoquinolines, azapyrenes, thiophenoquinolines, and benzothiophenoquinolines with similar molecular weight distributions. During the thermolysis of resins, the relative content of low molecular weight homologues in the identified nitrogenous bases increases. The share of structures with reduced chromatographic mobility caused by a decrease in the degree of spatial screening of a nitrogen atom increases among similar homologues.

Published: December 2023

This paper focuses on investigating the flipped learning strategy’s effect on developing reading comprehension skills in English among 4thgrade primary pupils in the Kuwaiti capital schools. To achieve the study’s objective, the researcher redesigned 9 reading comprehension lessons from the 4th grade EFL textbook. The researcher used the quasi-experimental approach with an experimental and a control group to measure the effect of the flipped learning strategy on pupils’ achievement in English reading comprehension. To calculate the effect, a post-achievement test was used, and the study sample was intentionally selected. This is consisted of 50 male and female pupils from the basic stage. The data were analyzed statistically, and the results revealed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group. Based on the obtained results, the researcher recommended applying the flipped learning strategy in teaching English and related subjects in primary schools in Kuwait and holding training courses for English language teachers to design lessons that align with flipped learning. Further research can address the effect of AI tools in improving reading comprehension.

Published: December 2023

This paper focuses on investigating the impact of using Chatbot content on improving the English communication skills of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif kindergarten teachers. The researcher used a quasi-experimental design to explain the differences that occurred in the teachers` performance before and after the intervention of the Chatbot content. This design required the researcher to develop a performance observation checklist, which is the main tool of this research. In addition, the researcher constructed the Chatbot content and the e-training programme. After the research design was completed, thirty-three (33) female Azhari kindergarten teachers participated in this experiment. The performance observation checklist was used for evaluating the teachers` performance before and after the intervention of the Chatbot content and for measuring the teachers` retention of the acquired skills. At the end of the research, a statistical analysis of the results was applied. The results showed a statistically significant difference at the level of 0.05 on the performance observation checklist`s mean scores of the sample teachers' pre-and post-application of the Chatbot content in favour of the postapplication. The second statistical analysis of the performance observation checklist showed that there is no significant difference between the sample teachers` mean scores in the post- and follow-up application of the Chatbot content. These results are proof that validate the research`s main assumption that Chatbot content can improve the English communication skills of kindergarten teachers.
Etude de l’Erosion Hydrique dans le Contexte Sahélien par l’Analyse Statistique des Paramètres Géo-Morphométriques et des Données Pluviométriques : Cas du Bassin Versant du Ferlo

Published: December 2023

Cette étude met en évidence l’érosion hydrique dans une région aride du Sahel au cours de la période suivant les sévères séries de sécheresses des années 1970 et 1980. Elle se consacre au cas du bassin du Ferlo et s’effectue à travers l’analyse des influences géo-morphométriques et des effets de la fréquence des grandes hauteurs de pluie. Les aspects linéaires, de relief et de surface du bassin versant ont été examinés à partir d’une image SRTM de 30 m de résolution à l’aide d’outils spatiaux dans ArcGIS. La fréquence des jours pluvieux et l’occurrence des grandes hauteurs sont traitées par des méthodes d’analyse statistique. Les résultats obtenus montrent une forme allongée, un relief assez faible et contrasté, une texture de drainage grossier, un réseau hydrographique hiérarchisé en 5 ordres dont le ratio de bifurcation (5,025) révèle une influence de la structure géologique sur le tracé méandrique du réseau hydrographique. Ces caractéristiques font état d’un potentiel de ruissellement assez lent mais sur une surface très sensible à l’érosion. La répartition aléatoire du nombre de jours pluvieux (de plus de 10 mm) et la fréquence élevée des hauteurs de pluie dont la récurrence est de 20 ans, 50 ans ou 100 ans au cours de la période consécutive à l’année 1990 indique une dynamique érosive plus ou moins active dans le bassin.

This study highlights water erosion in an arid region of the Sahel during the period following the severe series of droughts of the 1970s and 1980s. It focuses on the case of the Ferlo basin and is carried out through the analysis of geo-morphometric influences and the effects of the frequency of large rainfall heights. Linear, relief, and surface aspects of the watershed were examined using a 30 m resolution SRTM image using spatial tools in ArcGIS. The frequency of rainy days and the occurrence of high heights are treated by statistical analysis methods. The results obtained show an elongated shape, a rather low and contrasting relief, a coarse drainage texture, a hydrographic network hierarchical in 5 orders whose bifurcation ratio (5.025) reveals an influence of the geological structure on the meandric layout of the hydrographic network. These characteristics indicate a potential for runoff rather slowly but on a surface very sensitive to erosion. The random distribution of the number of rainy days (more than 10 mm) and the high frequency of rainfall heights with a recurrence of 20 years, 50 years or 100 years during the period after 1990 indicate a more or less active erosive dynamic in the basin.
