THE USE OF PASTURE FEED WITH HIGH CONTENT OF POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS FOR FEEDING HERD HORSES OF YAKUTIA
Authors:   Yakut research Institute of agriculture named after M.G. Safronov, Pak M.N.
Published: February 2025

The article presents the findings of the research carried out into pasture feed with high content
of polyunsaturated fatty acids consumed by herd horses of Yakutia. Location of the research: the
experimental and testing part of the research was carried out at the Yakut Research Institute of
Agriculture named after M.G. Safronov, Laboratory of Agricultural Products Procession and Biochemical Analysis, Laboratory of Horse Breeding, Khoroobut Co., Ltd, BERTE Stud Farm Co., Ltd.
Period of the research: years 2009 – 2015. The findings of the investigation showed that the content
of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the plants of alas zone is higher in summer-by 7.98%, in winter-by
6.11% than in the plants of the floodplain zone. Unsaturated fatty acids dominate in the cultivated
grass (oats), the total content of which amounted to 56.59%, in the natural aftergrass it was almost
twice less (31.15%). It was found that fat content of the samples taken from horsetail pasture was
almost 3 times higher than in the samples of vegetation taken from conventional pasture, and
amounted to-2.72%; in the vegetation of pastures without horsetail-0.98% (P>0.999). The findings
of the researches testify to essential dependence of the indices of chemical composition of meat on
feed. It was found that the meat of horses, fed on horsetail pasture in winter, was richer in polyunsaturated fatty acids: linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic, than meat of horses fed on conventional
grassland vegetation. The findings demonstrate high nutritional value of alas vegetation, winter
green mass of the cultivated oat, variegated horsetail used as a fattening feed for animals. This fact
has been repeatedly marked by the local population and by many researchers.

As the result of our work, we studied therapeutic efficacy and analyzed hematological parameters (leukocytes, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, platelets, hematocrit, etc.) when the drugs developed on
the basis of plant extracts were used for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders in
piglets on the Zabaykalsky Krai. Sample No 1: efficiency amounted to 92.5%; the second sample: efficiency amounted to 100%; control group: efficiency amounted to 40%. At the same time the average live weight of experimental piglets at the weaning age was 15.6% higher than in the control
group. The drug No 2 (extracts of wild rose, eleutherococcus, magnolia-vine, bird cherry, camomile
decoction) significantly increases the number of lymphocytes, eosinophils (P<0.001) and granulocytes (P<0.05). The average hematocrit value in all groups was close to the lower threshold of the
normal value from 35.24% to 38.73% (P≤0.05). The drugs were recommended for therapeutic and
prophylactic use in pig-breeding farms.

Authors:   Yakut State Agricultural Academy, Chugunov A.V. , Zakharova L.N. ,   Yakut State Agricultural Academy
Published: February 2025

The novelty of the material of the article consists in the study of the blood composition of the
calves-the descendants of the introduced (ecdemic) group of cows of the red steppe breed. It was
established that calves of the red steppe breed had relatively low parameters, except for the number
of leukocytes, in comparison with the young animals of the local Simmental breed and HolsteinSimmental hybrids. At the same time, the hematocrit content had a high concentration of hemoglobin
in the erythrocytes (by 11.5%). Thrombocritis and granulocytes were lower than that of local peers
(cows of the same age), which indicates their relatively weak immune system. As for Enzymes AsAT,
AlAT, reflecting the intensity of protein metabolism, the purebred calves of imported (ecdemic) group
had the characteristics that were close to maximum. Noticeable concentration of alkaline phosphatase in the blood of calves appeared to be due to the increased fermentation of the adaptive processes
of the body. As for the content of blood glucose, the characteristics were lower than the minimum
of the physiological norm (1.21 ± 0.19 and 0.53 ± 0.08 mmol / l): calves – 2 times, cows – 3 times,
which certainly negative affects the metabolic processes in the body, retarding the growth energy of
the young animals. As to the content of blood platelet in calves, the offspring of the cows of the red
steppe breed had more individual variation than the young animals of the local breed. In general,
depending on the breed and genotype, the calves had a certain variation in the morphological composition of the blood, to some extent reflecting the breed features and their adaptive responses to the
local raising technology.

The purpose of this study is to get an initial understanding of the relationship between the principal's engaging leadership and teachers' motivation to lead. A quantitative approach with a survey study design was used in this study. The principal’s engaging leadership was measured using the Engaging Leadership Scale and teachers’ motivation to lead was measured using Motivation To Lead questionnaires. This study was conducted at several schools in Kelantan and had 40 respondents. Data was analyzed using SPSS. The analysis results showed that the principal practiced engaging leadership at a high level (M=3.90, SD=0.89). The connecting dimension was at the highest mean and the strengthening dimension was at the lowest mean. Meanwhile, teachers' motivation to lead was moderate (M= 3.39, SD=0.54) with social normative at the highest mean and noncalculative at the lowest mean. Correlation analysis showed a significant and strong positive relationship ( r = 0.626, p = 0.001) between the two variables. The Cronbach Alpha index for the Principal’s engaging leadership was 0.97 and the teacher’s motivation to lead was 0.89. Thus, the instruments are suitable for use the real studies and this study provides a preliminary analysis of the relationship between the Principal's engaging leadership and teachers' motivation to lead. This study implies that teachers' motivation to lead can be increased by motivating teachers to be leaders.

Amnesty for Kurdish Genocide Perpetrators in the Perspective National and International Law
Authors: Ahmed Awara Hussein
Published: February 2025

The concept of amnesty has long been a subject of debate, especially when it concerns those responsible for heinous crimes such as genocide. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of the 1991 general amnesty issued by the Kurdistan Council, focusing on its impact on victims' rights and transitional justice from both national and international legal perspectives. Employing a legal analysis method, the research examines laws, court decisions, conventions, and relevant statutes, as well as academic studies and legal documents. The findings reveal that, based on legal principles at both domestic and international levels, perpetrators of international crimes in general, and genocide in particular, cannot escape legal accountability. Amnesty is inconsistent with the principles of equality and the protection of all individuals before the law. However, if amnesty must be chosen as a last resort and is entirely unavoidable, this legal flaw can be rectified by prosecuting the perpetrators in court.

Authors: Верходуб Олег
Published: February 2025

The evolution of the modern man's view of Artificial Intelligence from a rational assistant to a part of the emerging Artificial Life is inevitable. The emerging Artificial Life is a combination of achievements in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and robotics. In both fields, major successes have been outlined, which creates the prerequisites for a qualitative transition from disparate intellectual assistant functions to independent Artificial Life. Thought generation is one of the most important functions of the human brain when thinking. It is necessary to implement the thought generation function in order to create a strong Artificial Intelligence that would be similar in its functioning to the human brain. The purpose of this paper is to show how to simulate thought generation on a computer. Ontologies from the Semantic Web and cellular automaton are the technologies that are used to simulate thought generation on a computer.
Физика 4D Триплекса
Authors: Сдобин Александр
Published: February 2025

Парадоксы и противоречия современной физики во многом объясняются отсутствием адекватной теории, описывающей структуру пространства нашей Вселенной. В данной статье рассматривается трехпространственная модель («4D Триплекс»), согласно которой наша Вселенная является тонкой (порядка 100 ангстрем) четырехмерной шаровой оболочкой которая охвачена двумя концентричными четырехмерными пространствами.
В предлагаемой модели мультиверса, благодаря наличию границ раздела между тремя различными пространствами, удаётся устранить проблему, связанную с невозможностью поперечных волн, таких как световые и электромагнитные волны, в газоподобном эфире одного пространства. Кроме того, в рамках этой модели легко обосновать кардинальное различие между световыми и электромагнитными волнами. Это связано с тем, что взаимодействие электрических зарядов, магнитных «полей» и распространение электромагнитных волн происходят в одном пространстве, тогда как все фотонные взаимодействия и распространение световых волн осуществляются в другом.
Принятие модели 4D Триплекса открывает новые горизонты в понимании природы волновых процессов и устраняет необходимость в таких абстракциях, как поля, сингулярности, пространство-время, темная материя и темная энергия.

Active disturbance rejection and current sharing control of six-phase interleaved parallel synchronous buck converters with high dynamic response
Authors: Yuan Mingyu , Zhang Chuanyu , Zhang Mingkang , Cai Fenghuang
Published: February 2025

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) frequently encounter various external disturbances during flight. After experiencing such disturbances, the UAV’s power supply must quickly respond and maintain stable output. To address this problem, this paper proposes an improved active disturbance rejection control (IADRC) scheme combined with peak current mode control (PCMC) based on a six-phase interleaved parallel synchronous buck converter. Modal analysis was conducted on the synchronous buck converter, and small-signal modeling was performed under current control mode to analyze closed-loop stability. The dynamic response speed was improved by utilizing a peak current inner loop, enabling precise current sharing. The system’s disturbance rejection capability was enhanced by employing an improved extended state observer for real-time estimation of disturbances. This approach offers advantages such as high dynamics, strong disturbance rejection, and good current sharing. Finally, an experimental prototype with a rated power of 1000 W, maximum efficiency of 96.9%, and power density of 12.9 W/cm2 was constructed. Comparing three different control schemes, the response waveforms of the prototype verify the feasibility and advancement of the scheme in this paper.

Authors: Faisal Faisal , Santaso Anang , Susanto Gatut , Martutik Martutik , Fauzia Siti Naila
Published: February 2025

The Aceh Tsunami Oral History archive transcribes firsthand accounts from survivors of the December 26, 2004, tsunami, capturing their experiences as direct witnesses to the disaster. These narratives express emotions such as anxiety, panic, worry, distress, and disorientation. This frame of mind reflects the psychological turmoil faced during the earthquake and tsunami waves. This study focuses on expressive speech acts (ESAs), aiming to identify their types, strategies, and patterns in the oral history archive. A qualitative pragmatic approach was employed, with data collected through reading, recording, coding, tabulating, and categorizing. The process of data analysis followed five stages: description, selection, analysis, interpretation, and conclusion. The findings reveal that Aceh tsunami survivors used 22 types of ESAs, both direct and indirect. A number of 65 strategy patterns emerged from two primary strategies, shaping communication based on the survivors’ intended interlocutors. The expressions directed toward Allah, the one God, were dominant, featuring religious language and strong Islamic references. The use of hadih maja (Acehnese proverbs) was also identified, illustrating how the survivors’ speech acts integrate cultural and religious elements in their communication. The findings have inclusively presented the deep interconnection between faith, Acehnese cultural wisdom, and the ESAs of tsunami survivors.
The impact of traditional and holistic flipped classrooms on undergraduate students’ academic writing and autonomy
Authors: Behforouz Behnam , Al Ghaithi Ali
Published: February 2025

This study investigated the effects of two approaches in flipped classrooms, including the traditional model, in which the learners were exposed to blended learning in-class and online, and the holistic model, in which the learners’ participation was fully online through the specified platforms, on academic writing skills and autonomy. To this end, 60 Omani undergraduates with intermediate English proficiency levels were randomly selected as the sample of the study. They were divided equally into one control group and two experimental groups. Researchers designed pretests and posttests in multiple-choice format, which were used to collect data on writing skills. All the tests were validated, and their reliabilities were measured. A questionnaire from Zhang and Li (2004) was adapted to measure the degree of autonomy among the students during treatment. This questionnaire was piloted before the main study and demonstrated high reliability. The findings of the one-month study revealed that the two experimental groups performed significantly better than the control group, with the blended learning group outperforming the fully online group. These results were consistent for the autonomy questionnaire, confirming that flipping the classes, either fully or partially, helps learners become more independent. The study findings are significant for students, instructors, and institutions.

Authors: Ag-Ahmad Norazrina , Mohamed Ahmad Thamrini Fadzlin Syed , Majilang Deanna Beryl
Published: February 2025

As frontline educators, ESL teachers possess invaluable insights into their students’ needs and a profound understanding of practical pedagogical strategies. Despite their crucial role, limited research has explored their perspectives on involvement in decision-making processes and the challenges they face, particularly when navigating the tension between institutional expectations and students’ needs. This study addresses this gap by examining the challenges confronted by ESL teachers and identifying areas for potential improvement in English Language Teacher Education (ELTE) within the Malaysian educational context. Through qualitative inquiry, data were gathered from ten expert ESL teachers and five ELTE administrators via semi-structured interviews. Using inductive coding in Atlas.ti and thematic analysis, several critical challenges were identified, including the pressure to deliver academic results while fostering critical thinking, adjusting to rapid technological changes, dealing with attitudes of both teachers and students, managing insufficient facilities, and coping with an exam-oriented syllabus. Additionally, participants expressed feelings of being unheard and overwhelmed by administrative tasks. The findings not only contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by ESL teachers but also offer insights into enhancing ELTE in terms of pre-service and in-service training, facilities and resources, and incorporating teachers’ voices into policy-making processes. These insights pave the way for targeted interventions and foster teacher empowerment in decision-making.

Advertising is a barometer of popular culture. Advertisers depend on the fact that what we choose to buy reflects both how we see ourselves, and how we would like to see ourselves. The products that they offer us -- and the implied characteristics of those products -- are intended to appeal to our desire for whatever it is we feel is lacking in our lives: power, security, love or control. ln this way, images of nature are often coded to represent our sexual, instinctual, animal sides, and connecting sex to nature in advertising has proven to be a very effective marketing technique.

A alimentação é um processo cultural, dinâmico e particular de cada indivíduo, essencial para a sobrevivência e manutenção da homeostase. Assim, uma alimentação adequada corrobora com um processo de senescência saudável e preservação das funções do organismo humano. Nesse sentido, o presente projeto analisa o impacto da alimentação de idosos acompanhados pela Atenção Primária, analisando a Unidade Básica de Saúde Jardim Paraíso e Unidade de Saúde Cidade Alta, ambas em Maringá-PR, mediante a aplicação de dois instrumentos de coleta de dados, o Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM), que investiga as funções cognitivas dos longevos participantes do estudo, e o Eating Habits Scale (EHS), utilizado para relacionar a qualidade da nutrição da população-alvo. Os resultados demonstraram uma relação significativa entre os hábitos alimentares e o desempenho cognitivo avaliado pelo MEEM, com destaque para o tempo gasto nas refeições e o consumo de leite e/ou derivados, que apresentaram uma associação negativa com o desempenho cognitivo. Além disso, o consumo inadequado de água também foi identificado como um fator negativo em toda a amostra. Este trabalho ressalta a importância da relação entre a alimentação, a microbiota intestinal e os aspectos cognitivos em um grupo de idosos residentes em Maringá.

Published: February 2025

In the energy sector, traditional methods of subsurface data management and analysis face significant challenges that impact the efficiency and effectiveness of upstream oil and gas projects. Current approaches to seismic data processing and interpretation are often hindered by time-consuming manual processes, limited data accessibility, and fragmented workflows that struggle to integrate diverse data types. These limitations result in extended project timelines, increased operational costs, and potential oversights in critical geological interpretations, particularly when dealing with large-scale seismic datasets and complex geological structures such as stratigraphic traps and subtle fault systems. Recent developments in artificial intelligence, particularly in deep learning architectures and large language models, have demonstrated potential in addressing these challenges through automated analysis of geological reports, optimization of processing workflows, and enhancement of reservoir simulation procedures.

The integrated AI framework presented in this paper aims to address these fundamental challenges through four key components. The Intelligent Seismic Identification system employs deep learning models based on ResNet50 architecture for rapid location and retrieval of seismic volumes, while the Transformative Seismic Analysis component integrates convolutional neural networks with specialized processing pipelines to generate automated metadata and detailed geological insights. The Seismic Insights Assistant leverages advanced natural language processing capabilities for complex geological data analysis, complemented by the Synthetic Seismic Generation service that combines generative adversarial networks and diffusion models to create realistic 3D seismic volumes. This comprehensive approach integrates diverse data types, including SEG-Y format seismic volumes, interpretation reports, and well data, through multi-stage processing pipelines optimized for geoscience applications.

The framework represents a potential advancement in automated geoscience analysis, designed to transform traditional workflows by enabling seamless interaction between users and their geoscience projects. Through integration with 3D visualization software APIs and machine learning pipelines optimized for geological data processing, the system aims to analyze multi-modal data types, executing complex commands and generating detailed insights that support informed decision-making in exploration and production activities. The integration of these components addresses the full spectrum of industry needs, from data management and interpretation to synthetic data generation and knowledge extraction.

Natural gas consumption is growing around the world, thereby natural gas purification becomes increasingly important. Claus process is an industrialized sulfur recovery system to convert hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to sulfur, but there would be huge sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions. To lower SO2 emissions of the tail gas from natural gas purification, an innovative tail gas oxidation-absorption technology in combination with Claus process has been developed and applied in Petrochina Southwest Oil & Gas Field Company, China. In this paper, the tail gas oxidation-absorption technology combined with Claus process was described in detail, and key operation parameters namely burner temperature, oxygen volume fraction of the burner, concentrations of the amine-based SO2 absorbent, pH of lean amine solution and molar rate of the amine-based SO2 absorbent versus heat stable salts were studied and analyzed in an industrial-scale. The key operation parameters were optimized as follows. The tail gas of Claus process was burned at 810±5℃ with a burner, and the oxygen volume fraction of the burner was controlled between 3.3v% and 3.7v%. The amine-based SO2 absorbent concentration varied between 21w% and 25w%. The pH of lean amine solution was confirmed from 5.0 to 5.7. Besides, extremely the molar rate of the amine-based SO2 absorbent versus heat stable salts was controlled between 10:14 and 10:11. Consequently, the SO2 emissions can achieve below 100mg/m3, which was much better than the SO2 discharge standard of natural gas purification plants (GB39728-2020) in China. This was helpful for exploiting high-sulfur natural gas and reducing the SO2 emission from natural gas processing in the world.

Objective/Scope

This paper presents a case study that focuses on the seismic reservoir characterization in the X field located in the Balingian province, approximately 200 km offshore, Sarawak.

Understanding the subsurface geology is essential for oil and gas exploration because it directly impacts the effectiveness of exploration and production efforts. In the case of the X field, the interpretation of its depositional setting required a comprehensive approach, which integrated various data sources, specifically 3D seismic multi-attributes and well log data. The use of 3D seismic data provides a volumetric view of the subsurface, allowing geoscientists to visualize geological structures and stratigraphy. Multi-attributes from seismic data, such as acoustic impedance, Vp/Vs ratios, and total sand probability, enhance the interpretation by revealing variations in lithology and fluid content. These attributes help to identify potential reservoirs and understanding of their spatial distribution. In greenfield developments, particularly when the number of wells is limited, significant challenges such as reservoir distribution and prediction of fluids in reservoirs must be considered. Limited well data typically restricts the understanding of reservoir properties to localized areas, complicating the extrapolation of these findings across the entire field. Consequently, the integration of well logs and 3D seismic data is essential for characterizing reservoir complexity beyond the well locations. While well logs deliver required insights into the physical properties of rocks and fluids at specific sites, their coverage is confined to small segments of the reservoir. Therefore, integrating seismic data becomes important because, it allows for the inference of reservoir characteristics in the gaps between wells, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the subsurface.

Wellbore stability, stuck pipe, trajectory control, drilling vibrations, downhole tools failure, low rate of penetration, hole condition, and running the production liner to bottom are the most common challenges while drilling a critical directional build-up section of a major oil field in the Middle East. This results in increasing the non-productive time and elevated drilling costs. To improve this section deliverability, a cross discipline approach was implemented to improve the drilling efficiency and help running the production liner successfully to the planned target depth.

An integrated drilling engineering, geomechanics, directional drilling, drilling fluids, and drill bits team was assembled to address the section challenges by thoroughly analyzing the offset wells hazardous drilling events, optimizing the well trajectory and bottom-hole assembly design. The team further constructed geomechanics wellbore stability model and recommended the optimal mud weight window. This study was coupled with enhanced drilling fluids solutions and novel bit design based on the rock mechanical and petrophysical data. In addition, the integrated approach called for Realtime formation evaluation, equivalent circulating density monitoring, hole cleaning efficiency monitoring, and drill string vibrations monitoring along with torque and drag analysis each stand drilled in the execution phase.

The firm implementation of the integrated approach helped delivering the preset run objectives including reaching the section target depth without wellbore stability issues, significantly reducing the drill string vibrations thus saving the directional tools and allowing drilling the section in a single run. The run also achieved a record penetration rate (ROP) with 36% increase over the average field ROP record. The optimized connection time and downlinking schedule as well as the minimized back reaming intervals resulting from the stable wellbore saved more than 60 hours of rig time compared to the planned target time and helped running the production liner successfully to bottom.

The pre-planning study including the wellbore instability analysis, integrated roadmap, real-time monitoring, post-drill evaluation and outcomes are all presented in this paper to serve as evidence on the importance of integrated multi-disciplinary approach to improve drilling efficiency and reduce drilling costs in challenging drilling environments.

This paper aims to introduce an avant-garde strategy to uphold well integrity amidst workover rig interventions. By harnessing cutting-edge instrumented coiled tubing (CT) and through tubing inflatable retrievable packer (TTIRP) technologies, this study addresses high-pressure and sour terrains in West Kuwait, elucidating the pivotal role such technologies in restoring well functionalities.

The intervention approach employed the utilization of instrumented CT for well conditioning and temporary well suspension, utilizing real-time downhole telemetry to ensure accurate placement and setting of the TTIRP within the production liner close to the uncased reservoir section. Following successful anchoring of the TTIRP, the CT was disconnected from the packer assembly and a sand plug was utilized to protect the fishing neck. The CT was then retrieved to the surface, and a slickline dump bailer was utilized to spot cement on top of the sand plug. Once the cement had set, the CT was run to displace the wellbore with kill fluid. Upon confirmation of re-established barriers in the well, the workover rig was utilized to remove the failed Christmas tree and install the BOP. The CT was then rigged up and run back-in-hole to mill the cement plug, circulate out the sand, and retrieve the TTIRP to the surface.

The subject well, drilled in 1998, presented a significant challenge with a maximum potential wellhead pressure of nearly 8,000 psi and a plug-back true depth of around 13,400 ft. The well was completed with 3 1/2-in. production tubing set close to 11,800 ft MD, a 5-in liner until 12,900-ft and a 4-1/2-in uncased openhole section until PBTD. The reservoir pressure was close to 9,300 psi. The utilization of instrumented CT and high-pressure rotary jetting tool enabled a thorough well circulation and the conditioning of the setting depth of the TTIRP resulting in a shut-in wellhead pressure of 4,500 psi throughout the intervention.

The outcomes garnered from this groundbreaking intervention protocol, especially in such volatile high-pressure and sour settings, are seminal for effective well workovers. The synergistic alignment of instrumented CT and TTIRP remains central in adeptly sealing off the reservoir section. The lessons learned from this case study serves as a valuable reference for operators in the Middle East with analogous well complexities.
