Authors: Farfel M. I. , Gurov S. V. , Glazunov O. V.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The article presents a new method of reinforcing field welds with defects, impermissible according to the regulation requirements. This method allows reinforcement works to be carried out while maintaining the functional purpose of a building or structure without closing for the repair.

Aim. To develop a technology of reinforcing defective welds, which preserves the functional purpose of a structure during repair works without its closure.

Materials and methods. Reinforcement is carried out using a sheet of high-strength steel. The reinforcing sheet must be attached to connected field elements, which excludes the defective weld from the operation. Welders are permitted to perform works after testing on control welded joints. Welds, made by a candidate welder, is cut and sent to a specialized laboratory for determining weld strength properties, impact strength of weld macro- and microstructures, as well as the order and dimensions of legs for multi-pass welds. If the obtained weld data meets the standard indicators, the candidate welder is permitted to connect the reinforcement sheets of defective field welds. After making welded joints, they must be checked by visual, instrumental and ultrasonic testing.

Results. A method of reinforcing defective welds was developed and implemented. Defects in the welds appeared during the connection of field elements, whose dimensions were less than the transport size, into a single spatial system, for example, the inner contour of a dome cover. This type of reinforcement can be made without closing the building or structure for repair works.

Conclusion. The method of weld reinforcement can be used to remedy impermissible derects, detected by visual, instrumental and ultrasonic testing, in any buildings and structures, including unique long-span ones, therefore ensuring their reliable and safe operation after the construction.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. The current RF regulatory documentation contains only general instructions on the structural requirements for loop reinforcement joints in reinforced concrete structures without accounting their influence on the bearing capacity of normal sections, in particular, eccentrically compressed elements. These circumstances limit designers and may have a negative effect on the reliability of design solutions. In this regard, it seems necessary to investigate various possible structural options of loop joints and experimentally check their effect on the normal section strength of eccentrically compressed elements under static loads.

Aim. To conduct experimental studies of the bearing capacity for normal sections of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete elements with various options of loop reinforcement joints.

Materials and methods. Experimental studies were carried out by testing reinforced concrete elements under an eccentrically applied static compressive load, taken into account the requirements of the current regulations. Results. The result of the studies involve experimental data on the normal section strength of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete elements with various options of loop reinforcement joints, as well as data on their stiffness and crack resistance.

Conclusion. According to the results of experimental studies, destructive loads, cracking patterns, and deflections of test samples were determined. For all eccentrically compressed samples with loop joints, the strength of normal sections is lower by 3–12 % than the strength of control samples without reinforcement joints. This reveals a tendency of a bearing capacity to increase as the length of the straight insert at the joint, as well as the area of the transverse reinforcement in the joint area, increases. Further, a more detailed publication of the obtained experimental data is planned.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. Due to the increasing popularity of timber housing construction, new timber structures with unstudied properties appear provided with no fire safety standards of their use.

Aim: to obtain data on fire resistance and fire hazard of combined metal-timber structures, used in floors of residential and public buildings.

Materials and methods. In the study, a fragment of a combined metal-timber floor structure with a size of 4300 × 2000 mm and a thickness of 160 mm was tested using the methods for determining fire resistance and fire hazard classes.

Results. According to the test results, uncoated samples under a vertical uniformly distributed load of 520 kg/m2 were classified as REI 60, while the Evrika fire retardant, applied to samples from the outside at a consumption of 500 g/m2, has improved their fire resistance to REI 90. The fire hazard class of uncoated samples and coated with fire retardants corresponds to K3(15) and K0(15), respectively.

Conclusion. New experimental data will be used in the preparation of amendments to SP 64.13330.2017 “SNiP II-25-80 Timber Structures” for ensuring regulatory fire safety requirements to these structures.

Authors: Ponomarev O. I. , Panchenko Yu. F. , Mukhin M. A. , Vetkov A. S. , Dozorova A. Yu.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. State standards for testing ceramic masonry wall materials of plastic molding establish grinding as the main method of smoothening supporting (loaded) surfaces. Therefore, studies were conducted on the effect of sample dimensions on the compressive strength of tested masonry products. The effect of a scale factor on the measured strength of brick and stone has so far been only partially reflected in the standard for test methods (GOST 8462 “Wall materials. Methods for determining compressive and bending strength”). According to both Russian and foreign specialists, shape factors values, provided in EN 772-1 European standard “Methods of test for masonry units. Part 1. Determination of compressive strength” need to be adjusted as they do not take into account the void ratio of masonry products and the sample material type.

Aim. To assess the effects, caused by the geometric dimensions of masonry product samples, as well as the void ratio and other characteristics, on compressive strength according to the results of laboratory tests. Materials and methods. As a result of conducted control tests of ceramic and silicate single and thickened bricks with a void ratio of up to 27 %, measured values of product compression strength were compared to determine the value of transition coefficients.

Results. The performed studies confirmed the shape coefficients, adopted in EN 772-1, to require an adjustment. Based on the results of studies, conducted in Russia and abroad, conclusions and recommendations were made to take into account the dimensions of tested samples during strength tests.

Conclusion. Performed studies and analysis of experimental results have demonstrated that in order to increase the accuracy of determining the strength of test samples, taking into account their shape and void ratio, it is necessary to have several tables with shape factors. Currently, until reliable data about the void ratio effect of the masonry material on test results are obtained, it is advisable to take into account only the height of the sample (“longitudinal bending”).
Difficulties in Assessing the Economic Burden of Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Arbatskiy M. S.
Published: December 2023

Background. Age-related changes associated with the decrease in health and autonomy drastically increase the cost of medical care, maintenance and treatment. Late detection of ilnesses is the root cause of escalating the economic weight from age-related diseases, causing a surge in costs for the recovery, treatment and care of those needing outside assistance. One of the age-associated diseases is Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is one of the many manifestations of age-related dementia, accompanied by a violation of human cognitive abilities. This cluster of diseases does not affect other systems (cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, digestive), and they can operate normally. An important effect of this disease for society is the impossibility of conducting a full-fledged work activity, as memory, attention, etc. are disturbed. That is, with absolutely normally functioning body systems, a person cannot perform the simplest operations. Another important feature is the lack of an effective way to treat this disease. The pathogenesis is so complex that today there is no method of treatment aimed at all links. Also of great importance is the timeliness of detection of this disease. Due to the fact that recently there were test systems and express diagnostics for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease, it became possible to start treatment earlier, which increased the chances of recovery and reduced treatment costs in case of diagnosing moderate and severe Alzheimer's disease gravity.

   Aim. Revealing the difficulties of assessing the economic burden of Alzheimer's Disease.

   Materials and methods. To identify the difficulties of assessing the economic burden, free sources, publications on Alzheimer's disease, data from clinical guidelines, the standard for providing medical care to elderly and senile patients with cognitive disorders, information on maximum selling prices registered and included in the State Register of Vital and Essential Drugs Prices, statistical data, compulsory health insurance tariffs.

   Results. The main problematic issues of the difficulty of assessing the economic burden of Alzheimer's disease are identified.

   Conclusion. Diseases of the nervous system are of particular importance for the health of the patient, since disorders affecting this system do not allow the patient to fully and fully fulfill their labor duties. In this regard, the development of a method for assessing the cost-effectiveness of Alzheimer's disease, as one of the most common disorders of cognitive functions, is an extremely important social task aimed at optimizing the treatment process, early detection and effective treatment aimed at recovery.

Published: December 2023

The process of aging is a complex biological phenomenon that is influenced by multiple factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Recent studies have shown that epigenetic modifications play an important role in the aging process, as they regulate gene expression and ultimately affect cellular function. Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA expression, among others. The authors of the review discuss the role of DNA methylation in regulating gene expression and its relationship to age-related diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Also, the role of histone modification and its impact on chromatin structure and gene expression is reviewed in the article. Additionally, review provides information on involvement of molecular hallmarks of aging in age-related diseases. Understanding the role of epigenetic mechanisms in aging is crucial for developing new interventions that could potentially slow down or even reverse the aging process.
Mechanisms of Neurocognitive Adaptation during Aging Process
Authors: Cherdak M. A.
Published: December 2023

Human aging is associated with an increased risk of various geriatric syndromes, cognitive impairment being among the most frequent. The most prominent form of the cognitive impairment — dementia — has become one of the major course of dependency in older and oldest old patients. Nevertheless, it has been shown that despite the fact that various parts of the brain change structurally over time due to natural aging or diseases, it does not necessarily manifest into clinical symptoms for some older people. Therefore, there is a dissociation of the severity of morphological and functional brain changes. The review presents current data on adaptive mechanisms that ensure the preservation of neurocognitive activity during aging process. In addition to the concept of brain and cognitive reserves, different mechanisms of neurocognitive maintenance and compensation are discussed, both in the norm and in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The possibility of their clinical and instrumental assessment and practical significance are discussed.

El cáncer cervicouterino es un problema de salud  a nivel mundial  caracterizado por el crecimiento anormal y diseminado de células, que al desarrollarse en forma incontrolada, avanzan entre los tejidos normales y los destruyen, alterándose así el funcionamiento del organismo, se inicia casi siempre como una enfermedad localizada1, cuarto cáncer más común en mujeres después del cáncer de mama, colon y pulmón  mostrando importancia al realizar  el tamizaje de las citologías  para prevenir el aumento de la mortalidad2. Material y métodos: Es un estudio de índole observacional, retrospectivo, descriptivo, transversal,  incluyó a  pacientes de 25 a 65 años derivadas de la unidad médica familiar número 64 con reporte de citología de ASCUS que se encuentren en seguimiento en la clínica de Displasias del Hospital General de Zona número 3 y cuenten con reporte de colposcopia e histopatología, del 01 enero 2019 al 31 de diciembre 2020 en donde se utilizó el total del universo de acuerdo a los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Resultados: Derivado a los diagnósticos presentados entre la colposcopia e histopatología, donde ambos reportaron una lesión de bajo grado mediante la correlación de spearman no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas con una p>0.05 y una rs=-0.007. Conclusiones: Aunque se observaron tendencias específicas en relación con cada variable estudiada, la mayoría no alcanzó significación estadística, probablemente debido a la baja prevalencia de LEIAG en la muestra analizada. No obstante, el número de gestaciones emergió como un factor significativo, lo que justifica la realización de investigaciones adicionales. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de entender cómo las variables demográficas y clínicas pueden influir en el desarrollo de lesiones escamosas intraepiteliales y, en última instancia, en el riesgo de malignidades.

Persiste el patrón tradicional de segregación de las ciudades latinoamericanas ya que los sectores de altos ingresos se localizan en el centro; mientras que se ubicaron agrupamientos significativos de valores altos de segregación residencial socioeconómica, principalmente en la periferia nororiente y norponiente de los municipios centrales de la ZMP.
Industrialización y urbanización en Córdoba a mediados del siglo XX: el caso de la instalación de las industrias automotrices privadas IKA y FIAT y sus dinámicas espaciales
Authors: Ricci Carolina Paula
Published: December 2023

Este artículo presenta un análisis sobre dinámica espacial de la ciudad de Córdoba, entre los años 1953 y 1968, a partir de la instalación de las industrias automotrices privadas Industrias Kaiser Argentina y FIAT. Particularmente, nos interesa mostrar cómo el desarrollo de la industria automotriz privada en Argentina y la urbanización de la ciudad de Córdoba, específicamente del sector sur, tuvieron como consecuencia un crecimiento desordenado y desigual del proceso de urbanización. Este proceso quedo expresado en un significativo aumento poblacional, un desorganizado anexo de sectores a la dinámica urbana, un convulso permiso de cambios en el uso del suelo y una escasa disponibilidad de los servicios de infraestructura. En este trabajo adoptamos una estrategia metodológica que se asienta en el método cualitativo y el trabajo de archivo en distintas dependencias de donde se relevaron fuentes cartográficas, demográficas y documentales.

Authors: Oriolani Federico Agustín
Published: December 2023

En el artículo problematizamos un conjunto de políticas urbanas desplegadas en 2019 en un barrio popular de Mar del Plata. Generalmente, los abordajes sobre políticas urbanas se focalizaron en intervenciones relacionadas con lo habitacional, la infraestructura o lo normativo, aunque otros instrumentos estatales también operan en la producción del espacio urbano con mayor o igual impacto. En esta dirección, analizamos los efectos del despliegue de un proyecto de Integración Socio-Urbana, la instalación de Gendarmería enmarcada en la Operación Fuerzas Federales y la construcción de una Casa de Encuentro Comunitario (CEC) ¿Qué efectos generaron estas políticas en la dinámica territorial? ¿Cómo y a través de quiénes se articularon y desarrollaron? Si bien observamos cierta ambivalencia entre los objetivos y criterios de las intervenciones estatales realizadas, en la práctica, las políticas tendieron a profundizar y afianzar un modelo de urbanización desigual.

Increasing the energy efficiency of a fishing vessel by estimating the motion parameters of a towed object
Authors: Ivanovskaya Aleksandra V. , Zhukov Vladimir A. , Ivanovskii Aleksei N.
Published: December 2023

The optimal mode of towing fishing gear has a direct impact on the energy efficiency of the fishing vessel. To build the combined traction characteristics of the vessel and trawl systems, data are needed on the nominal moments on the winch and engine drum, as well as the traction force in the warp. Estimation of the movement parameters of the towed object will make it possible to haul warps without overloading the trawl winch and the main engine. The paper proposes a block diagram of the algorithm for estimating the motion parameters of a trawl system. Processing of the current measurements of the warp tension in real time is carried out by digital signal processing methods based on the constructed optimal linear filter, which will be used to obtain the tension on the winch without taking into account the noise that occurs both as a result of the operation of the equipment and under the influence of the random nature of the warp tension process itself. and external hydrometeorological factors. Estimation and prediction of dynamic parameters is necessary for the development of an automated control system for a ship's winch, regardless of its purpose. Therefore, the results presented in this paper can be used in solving problems of automation of lifting equipment operating in non-stationary conditions.

Published: December 2023

This article explores the impact of adjacent buildings on solar exposure for photovoltaic (PV) applications in high-rise urban areas in Malaysia. The rapid urbanization and population density in Malaysia's high-rise areas have increased energy demand, necessitating the exploration of alternative energy sources. Integrating PV systems into vertical façades offers a promising solution for maximizing energy generation in space-constrained urban environments. However, the efficacy of PV systems is influenced by adjacent buildings, including their arrangement, height, and orientation, which affect solar exposure and energy generation potential. Understanding these effects is crucial for optimizing PV system design and placement. This study aims to investigate the relationship between adjacent buildings and solar exposure for PV panels mounted on high-rise buildings in Malaysia. By examining these effects, the research provides valuable insights for urban planners, architects, and renewable energy practitioners involved in sustainable urban development. The findings will inform decisions regarding the integration of PV systems, promoting renewable energy adoption, and reducing the environmental impact of urban areas. The article also discusses Malaysia's climate, energy consumption, and solar radiation potential, emphasizing the need to harness solar energy in a country blessed with abundant sunlight. The challenges faced by current air conditioning systems and building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications in Malaysia are outlined, along with efforts to address them through energy-efficient systems and awareness campaigns. The research conducted simulations using a 3D model in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, considering different heights and distances of adjacent buildings. The software used for simulations was IES-VE, which offers various modules for energy consumption analysis. The results demonstrate how adjacent buildings affect the annual average energy for different scenarios, highlighting the importance of distance and height. The findings provide insights into the monthly average energy variations and emphasize the relationship between adjacent building height and average energy levels. Overall, this research contributes to the efficient utilization of vertical façades for harnessing solar energy in high-rise urban areas, supporting Malaysia's sustainable energy goals while ensuring urban environment liveability and resilience.

Published: December 2023

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible neurological disorder that causes the gradual decline of one's cognitive abilities, and thus, early detection is significant to slow down its deterioration. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images have been commonly used to diagnose AD. Furthermore, deep learning techniques such as the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) are utilized to assist the diagnosis due to the complexity of MRI's analysis. However, CNN models require large datasets for training and have a challenging nature for model optimization. Thus, Transfer Learning, an emerging method that can improve the performance of the deep learning model by eliminating the need for training from scratch, is introduced. This paper will propose a Transfer Learning-based EfficientNet-B0 model to classify MRI brain images for AD diagnosis. The MRI images are obtained from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database; only axial-plane images are used in this study. As a result, the multi-class classification of MRI images into AD, MCI, and NC classes using a Transfer Learning-based model resulted in a training accuracy of 98.93% and a validation accuracy of 87.17%. These results evidenced the significance of Transfer Learning in improving model performance.

The aim of this study is assessment of correlation between isokinetic muscle strength and muscle thickness. 54 young male athletes (mean age: 18,296 ± 1,312 years, mean height 177,592 ± 5,063 cm; mean body weight 67,037 ± 6,564 kg) playing in the U17 and U19 age groups of a Turkish professional football 1st league team voluntarily participated in the study. Muscle thickness (rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, gluteus maximus) was measured using Real-time ultrasound (RTUS) imaging. Muscle strength (30°/s-1, 60°/s-1, 180°/s-1) was measured using Humac Norm/Cybex dynamometry. Statistically between isokinetic muscle strength and muscle thickness GMAX (mm) - 30°/s-1 Glut Con Torque (N.m-1), RF (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1), VI (mm) - 180°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1), RF+VI (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1) values were significantly. In conclusion, this study showed significant and high correlations of quadriceps thickness measurements with muscle strength.
Le profilage dans le cadre d’une procédure d’embauche entre particuliers - Une analyse du cadre légal suisse avec un accent sur la portée du droit fondamental à l’autodétermination en matière informationnelle
Authors: Christ Myriam
Published: December 2023

La nouvelle loi sur la protection des données comprend désormais une définition légale du profilage. La question de savoir dans quelle mesure un profilage effectué dans le cadre d’une procédure d’embauche soumise au droit privé suisse est licite n’a pas encore été abordé en doctrine. La présente contributiona été rédigée dans le but de combler cette lacune. Ainsi, plusieurs questions sont abordées : le recours au profilage dans le contexte d’une telle procédure d’embauche est-il légal ? Quelles sont les éventuelles limites imposées à l’employeur ? La réglementation actuelle est-elle compatible avec le droit supérieur, notamment avec la Constitution fédérale, la CEDH et le droit constitutionnel européen ? Quelles mesures d’ordre juridique pourraient être mises en oeuvre afin de garantir une meilleure protection des droits des candidats?
GEODETIC EVIDENCE FOR POST-SEISMIC DEFORMATIONS FOLLOWING THE 2014 NORTH AEGEAN MW 6.9 EARTHQUAKE

Published: December 2023

The 2014 North Aegean Sea earthquake was a strong (Mw 6.9) event that caused significant crustal deformations. In the present study we investigate the long-term impact of the earthquake on the kinematics of the North Aegean Trough (NAT). For this purpose, we analyzed GPS observations collected from May 2010 to April 2022 at five permanent GPS reference stations. Two of these stations are located close to the epicenter(s) on the Islands of Lemnos and Samothrace. We processed the data using the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technique. The analysis of the obtained coordinate time-series revealed a post-seismic deformation (PSD) period lasting for more than two years leading to cumulative 2D post-seismic displacement of 22 mm and 27 mm for Samothrace and Lemnos, respectively. The magnitudes of these post-seismic slip vectors correspond to 23% and 49% of the co-seismic vectors at Samothrace and Lemnos, respectively. The long-term analysis showed that after the end of the PSD period the stations are characterized by stable velocities that are noticeably different compared to the velocities prior to the event. We observed a change in the velocity in the order of 2 mm/yr for both Samothrace and Lemnos. It is the first time that PSD and velocity changes have been reported for the 2014 North Aegean Sea earthquake shedding light on the characteristics and the impact of this important earthquake on the kinematics of NAT.

“Practical elimination” principle in the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant design
Authors: Lyubarskiy Artur V. , Tokmachev Gennady V. , Kuzmina Irina B.
Published: December 2023

The paper considers the implementation of the “practical elimination” principle in the design of the Akkuyu NPP with VVER1200 reactors being under construction in Turkey. The “practical elimination” principle is defined as follows: for accident sequences or phenomena that contribute or lead to unacceptable radiological consequences for the public or the environment, it shall be shown with a high level of confidence that their occurrence is highly unlikely. “Practical elimination” is proved predominantly by results of a Level 2 probabilistic safety assessment. The implementation of the “practical elimination” principle was considered at the level of accident sequences leading to a large radioactive release. It has been shown that each accident sequence leading to an unacceptable release has the probability of occurrence below 4.45Е–8 per reactor per year, while their total probability not exceeding the value of 6.17Е–7 per reactor per year. For the phenomena inside the containment area during severe accidents, including hydrogen detonation, a large thermal explosion, direct containment heating, overpressure in the containment volume, and the containment damage at later stages due to the basement melting through, their “practical elimination” has been demonstrated. The paper also considers specific hard-to-assess scenarios of beyond design basis accidents, for which the applicability of the “practical elimination” principle is assessed as well: a major positive reactivity insertion, a rupture of the reactor pressure vessel and other largescale components, damage of fuel elements in the spent fuel pool, severe accidents with the containment bypass or containment failure, and severe accidents accompanied the means for mitigating with their consequences being unavailable. Criteria have been developed and used for the “practical elimination” assessment. A sensitivity analysis was undertaken as part of the Level 2 probabilistic safety assessment which has shown that estimated values slightly depend on the analytical assumptions, as well as on the random change in the parameters that the affect the progression of severe accidents.
