This research aims to assess the clogging process of geotextiles within silt fences. For that purpose, the filtering efficiency, flow rate, and clogging of three geotextiles (GTX-1, GTX-2, and GTX-3) employing two distinct soils and under three sediment discharge cycles were investigated. The analysis adhered to the American standard D5141-11 and, as further analyses, qualitative and quantitative inspections were conducted through microscopic images of the materials. The results showed greater clogging of the nonwoven geotextile, GTX-1, with higher retention efficiency (approximately 100%) and better turbidity removal for both soils, equal to a reduction of around 94%. For GTX-2, a woven geotextile with a larger pore opening, less intense clogging and lower retention efficiency were observed after the third discharge; the average was 96% for both soils. GTX-3, a woven geotextile with a smaller apparent opening, exhibited a behavior similar to GTX-1: as the number of cycles increased, the material experienced more clogging and higher retention efficiency for soil 1 (approximately 98.5%). Based on these findings, it can be inferred that the discharge cycles impact the tested geotextiles in diverse ways and, therefore, the selection of the material should be contingent on project requirements.

Published: December 2023

In this paper, the problem of broadband vibration suppression of power-driven-damper vehicle “inerter-spring-damper” (ISD) suspension is studied. The suspension can effectively inherit the low-frequency vibration suppression effect of ISD suspension and the high-frequency vibration suppression effect of the power-driven-damper control strategy. Based on the structural method, this paper proposes four suspensions with different structures. The optimal structure and parameters are obtained by using pigeon-inspired optimization. The results show that, based on the optimal structure, the Root-Mean-Square (RMS) of body acceleration and the RMS of suspension working space are reduced by 23.1% and 6.6%, respectively, compared to the traditional passive suspension. The influence of the damping coefficient on the dynamic performance of the power-driven-damper vehicle ISD suspension is further studied. The vibration suppression characteristics of the proposed suspension are simulated and analyzed in both the time domain and frequency domain. It is shown that the power-driven-damper vehicle ISD suspension can effectively reduce vibrations across a wide frequency range and significantly improve body acceleration and suspension working space, thereby enhancing the ride comfort.

The paper considers the stages of development of the transport system on the example of the city of Belgorod. The analysis of the use of means of individual mobility as an eco-friendly mode of transport in urban infrastructure is carried out. The use of such means can be safer, more convenient and environmentally friendly than traveling by public transport or car. However, over the past few years, the trend of increasing individual mobility equipment (SIM) on the road space has increased the number of road accidents involving these vehicles, which naturally poses a threat to the lives of the population.

Published: December 2023

The task of increasing the efficiency of hydraulic manipulators with traditional column turning mechanisms installed on logging road trains can be solved by installing column turning mechanisms with crank hydraulic motors from hydraulic cylinders. Variants of the arrangement of hydraulic cylinders in a crank hydraulic motor were studied graph analytically by determining tangential and radial forces acting on the rotary column of the hydraulic manipulator. At first, calculations were performed based on static methods to evaluate the effect of forces on the rods of hydraulic cylinders in the working positions of the column rotation mechanism. After that, using the COMPASS computer-aided design system, circular diagrams of tangential and radial forces of the considered options for the arrangement of hydraulic cylinders in a crank hydraulic motor were constructed. Further, in the Microsoft Excel program, graphs of changes in tangential forces acting on the rotary column of the hydraulic manipulator were plotted. Schemes with five and six hydraulic cylinders have the best option of influencing the bearings in which the column is rotated. The ranges of radial forces for them ranged, respectively, from 3.32 to 22.07 kN and from 11.175 to 11.297 kN, and tangential forces – from 257.893 to 285.274 kN, and from 300.471 to 354.059 kN, which can be used in the design of new drive designs for turning columns of hydraulic manipulators. For the practical implementation of the proposed design of the crank hydraulic motor, it is planned to make a rational choice of the location of the hydraulic cylinders of the crank hydraulic motor on the frame of the logging road train on the basis of simulation modeling.
Kâdî Abdülcebbâr’a Göre Arap Dilinde Lafız-Mana İlişkisi ve Abdülkâhir el-Cürcânî’ye Etkisi
Authors: KARA İbrahim
Published: December 2023

Arap dilinde lafız-mana tartışması klasik dönemden itibaren dilcilerin önem verdikleri bir konudur. Anagram sistemle telif edilen Kitâbu’l-‘ayn adlı sözlüğe bakıldığında Arap dilinde kullanımda olmayan lafızların dahi zikredildiğini görmek mümkündür. Bu durum Arapça kelimelerin Araplar nezdinde -herhangi bir anlamı haiz olmasa da- ayrı bir öneme sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Kâdî Abdülcebbâr’a göre ise edebi güzellik sadece sözün birimleri olan kelimelerde aranmaması gerekmektedir. Edebi üstünlük ancak kelimelerin cümle içerisinde birbirleriyle olan bağdaşıklıkları dikkate alınarak söz konusu edilmelidir. Kâdî Abdülcebbâr, düşüncesini temellendirmek için dilin kökeni meselesine vurgu yapmaktadır. Ona göre dil, ilahi bir öğreti sonucu oluşmamış, toplumların uzlaşmaları neticesinde meydana gelmiştir. Ayrıca kelimelerin cümle içerisindeki gramatik konumunu belirleyen i‘râb ve kastedilen anlam dikkate alınarak en iyi kelimenin seçilmesi manasındaki ibdâl kavramları Kâdî Abdülcebbâr’ın konuyla ilgili düşüncesini anlamada önemlidir.

The purpose of our study was to determine the effectiveness of thetherapymassiveobstetric bleeding (MOH), which arose under various etiological factors, with the introduction of the modern concept of resuscitation of damage control (DCR – Damage Control Resuscitation) and innovative methods of surgical hemostasis.
Materials and research methods. During 2015 – 2023 years at clinical bases of the Department of Ob/Gyn. No1 of PL Shupyk NHU of Ukraine, 165 cases of MOH were analyzed. In all MOH cases, an integrated approach was used to stop bleeding using both drug therapy and modern methods of surgical hemostasis in accordance with the regulatory documents of the Ukrainian Ministry of Health. The main group – 59 women in labor with the MOH (2020-2023), who used in integrated approach to stopping bleeding and restoring blood loss according to the Concept of DCR with the priority of high-quality and rapid restoration of blood loss with blood products with minimization of infusion therapy. The comparison group consisted of 106 women in labor with MOH (2015-2019) and similar methods of stopping bleeding to restore blood loss in accordance with the order No. 205 of the Ukrainian Ministry of Health with the priority of rapid recovery of blood loss by crystalloids (during 2015-2019).
Research results. The mean blood loss, time to stop bleeding, and duration of surgery in the intervention group were significantly lower than in the comparison group (p < 0.05). In the postpartum period, cases of severe anemia were significantly more often observed in the comparison group – 47.2% versus 11.9% in the main group (p < 0.01). The number of cases of hysterectomies was significantly higher in the comparison group – 50.9% versus 28.8% (p < 0.01). Early onset and significantly higher rate of fresh frozen plasma transfusions and erythromas in the main gr. – respectively 88.1% versus 38.7% (p < 0.001), which affected significantly lower blood loss, duration of surgery and average time to stop bleeding in the main group to the comparison group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions. The use of modern uterotonic agents (carbetocin), tranexamic acid, innovative surgical technologies and early initiation of transfusion therapy with blood products with minimization of crystalloid infusion and according to the DCR concept in the MOH allows to reduce blood loss, frequency of severe postpartum complications, prevent severe maternal morbidity and mortality.

The purpose of the study was to determine the characteristics of the course of pregnancy in women of different population groups burdened with anemia and helicobacteriosis

Materials and Methods. 30 pregnant women of reproductive age, burdened with anemia, residents of the city of Odesa (group I) and countries of Southeast Asia (group II) were under our observation. All women were registered at the women’s clinic. The monitoring algorithm included clinical and laboratory studies of Helicobacter pylori infection (total antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA) to Helicobacter pylori antigens).

Results. The presence of infectious processes in the body of women is one of the etiological factors of gestational complications, including the progression of the severity of anemia in pregnant women. The clinical severity of anemia in pregnant women was consistent with a high coefficient of positivity of total antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA) to Helicobacter pylori antigens and a low level of hemoglobin, the level of ferritin, folic acid, cyanocobalamin, the vital trace element iron. Indicators of the clinical course of pregnancy in group I and group II had a significant difference (p<0.05), respectively: early toxicosis (mild, moderate, severe) – 20.0 %, 0 %, 0 % and 26.7 %, 20.0 %, 0 %; syndrome of the threat of early miscarriage - 13.3 % and 33.3 %; late miscarriage threat syndrome – 6.7 % and 20.0 %; secondary placental dysfunction – 0 % and 20.0 %; fetal growth retardation syndrome (FGRS) – 0 % and 6.7 %; intranatal fetal distress – 0 % and 6.7 %. The postpartum period in 13.3 % of women in the 2nd group had a lochiometer.

Conclusions. Peculiarities of the course of pregnancy in women of different population groups burdened with anemia and helicobacteriosis consisted in the progression of the severity of the clinical and laboratory course of anemia and gestational complications during the trimesters. The clinical severity of anemia in pregnant women was consistent with a high ratio of total antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA) to Helicobacter pylori antigens and a low level of hemoglobin, the level of ferritin, folic acid, cyanocobalamin, the vital trace element iron. It is recommended to determine the ratio of total antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA) to Helicobacter pylori antigens in the blood of pregnant women with anemia and at the stage of pregnancy planning. Positive results are an indication for examination of all family members.

Isolation
Authors: Duarte Lacerda José Augusto
Published: December 2023

The life and work of North American composer Stuart Saunders Smith (1948) have shown features reminiscent of the 19th century philosophical movement known as New England Transcendentalism. Here I discuss how ideas divulged by Transcendentalism and transcendentalist philosophies, in particular oneness, freethinking, anti-materialism, anti-technologism, and silence reflect in Smith’s life stances and compositional process. Based on a belief that oneness binds all living beings via a universal soul, Smith seeks to symbolically unify composer, performer, and audience through the use of silence and a compositional technique called co-existence. In turn, anti-materialism and anti-technologism manifest musically in his frugal use of instrumentation, and in his refusal to write for electronics while evoking naturalistic themes, respectively.
Political ideals of Russian thinkers of the XI – early XVII centuries
Authors: Zolotukhina Natalia , Vlasova Tatiana
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Unfortunately, at present, scientists have not given an adequate assessment of the political ideals of Russian thinkers, writers, and publicists of the XV – early XVII centuries, many of them are directly discredited, as they are manipulated into the scheme of “the initial commitment to autocracy», perceived as synonymous with absolutism. Serious scientific disagreements concern not one, not two, or even not three medieval thinkers, but all of them, especially the late Middle Ages, represented by such famous names as Joseph Volotskiy, Filofey Pskovskiy, I. S. Peresvetov, A. M. Kurbsky, Zinoviy Otenskiy, anonymous authors of the Valaam Conversation, etc. This galaxy is completed at the turn of the Middle Ages and the first quarter of Modern Times by the sovereign clerk Ivan Timofeyev. Methods. The authors, based on a systematic, historical, and comparative analysis of the works of these thinkers, offered their own viewpoint on the political ideals formulated by them. Results. The result of the study is presented by the following conclusions: researchers’ understanding of the political ideal of medieval thinkers depends on the assessment of both their works themselves and the historical conditions in which they were created; the preservation of some outdated schemes, many of which originated in the pre-revolutionary period which were uncritically perceived in Soviet historiography and remain up to nowadays, prevents the achievement of unity in the definition of the forms of government which were forming in different historical epochs and the assessment of the accompanying political and legal doctrines; in historical and especially historical and legal studies, it is always necessary to apply historical, rather than modern terminology in the analysis of key concepts used by medieval thinkers in characterizing existing (for them) historical conditions and in their proposed projects of state-legal transformations.
Definition and characteristics of cybercrimes against minors
Authors: Berestovoy Andrey , Tsvetkov Pavel
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The relevance of the issue is proved by the fact that cybercrimes, including Internet crimes against children, despite the constant growth in the number of registered crimes (in 2022 – more than 522 000, in 2021 – 320 000) have not yet received much attention by researchers and legislators in order to prevent and suppress them.

The subject of the study is federal laws and other legal acts regulating social relations and establishing criminal responsibility for committing cybercrimes against minors. The purpose of this study is to analyse the problems concerning cybercrimes committed against minors.

Methods: the methodological basis of this study was composed of the basic rules of the dialectical method of cognition, general scientific and private-scientific methods, such as comparative-legal, particularsociological, formal-logical, systemic and historical.

Results: the study revealed the relevance of a systemic approach, starting with the legislative fixation of definitions relating to the elements of crimes, which can influence the identification, investigation and solution of cybercrimes against minors.
Transnational aspect of corruptive crime
Authors: Kuznetsova Ol'ga
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Undoubtedly globalization increased the scale and influence of such a dangerous phenomenon as corruption. The existence of corruption even at the national level affects the global economical, social and political processes. Transnational corruption is more dangerous negative phenomenon because it destroys management effectiveness not only at the local, regional or state level, but in the global scale, distorting conditions of international competitiveness and negatively affecting the domestic and foreign policies of independent states [1]. The transnational corruption may be considered as a way of negative influence on the sovereign countries, their domestic and foreign policies, economic and social systems. In this article we consider the notion and peculiarities of transnational corruption, its typical signs, and normative methods of influencing on it in some foreign countries. A special attention will be paid to the role of the transnational corporations (TNC) in creating and supporting the corruptive “atmosphere” in the world.

Methodology. In this article the author used common scientific methods of (analysis, synthesis, systemicstructural, deduction, induction) and private scientific methods (formally legal, comparatively legal, methods of grammatical transformations when translating, method of explanatory translation).

Results. Corruption may be legally referred to international crimes, or more exactly, to the crimes of transnational character. The justice of such conclusion is conditioned with the fact that the corruption and corruptive crimes are prohibited with the international conventions which have already formed a coherent system of internationally legal acts about the responsibilities for corruptive activities, for instance, universal, cross-regional, regional and sub-regional acts. Moreover in some countries there are certain agreements.
Law enforcement intelligence in detection of corruption in public procurement
Authors: Sidorenko Alexander , Maslennikov Konstantin
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Economic development of the country, its security, implementation of national programmes are ensured by the state and municipal orders. Transactions involving the expenditure of significant amounts of budget funds in the sphere of public procurement constitute favourable conditions for the commitment of various corruption offences. Thus, the state takes control over them and, if necessary, take measures to suppress such crimes. Criminals use a wide range of methods. They formally comply with the rules and procedure of tendering to achieve self-interested personal goals. Identification of such dishonest customers can be done by means of control measures, both public (in the form of scheduled and unscheduled checks) and covert.

Methods. Public control in the public procurement sphere is not enough to protect the economic interests of the country. Law enforcement intelligence, utilizing covert human intelligence sources, provides timely and efficient acquisition and the use of information being necessary to prevent, suppress and solve non-obvious, latent and covert corruption offences. The use of covert law enforcement intelligence against unlawful acts in the system of the state and municipal procurement appears to be crucial for the proper functioning of this system.

Results. The present-day practice reveals that in order to effectively tackle corruption in public procurement, it is necessary to use a comprehensive approach involving the application of administrative legal measures and law enforcement intelligence.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: The article defines the significance of pedagogy in the work of law enforcement leaders. The authors focus on the fact that in order to implement pedagogical functions and pedagogical support of administrative activity, law enforcement leaders should develop pedagogical competence. In this case, special attention is paid to pedagogical encouragement, described as a process of applying external stimuli that interact with motives and internal attitudes of an individual.

Research methods: dialectical approach to the topic with the use of general and specific methods of scientific cognition, such as: system-structural, dogmatic, logical, as well as other methods.

The anonymous questionnaire was conducted among 250 police officers to examine their attitude to the methods of professional activity motivation. 80 respondents were supervisors of different levels and 170 were subordinate officers. The data revealed that 64% of the respondentsholding executive positions are men and 36% are women(aged 35 to 47 years). Among the subordinates (aged 23 to 37 years) 72 % are men and 28 % are women. The results indicate the necessity of creating a pedagogical support technique for law enforcement leaders at any level.

Results: The study draws a reasonable conclusion about the importance and necessity of apedagogical support technique mastering the activity of law enforcement leaders.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the significance of the cognitive component in the structure of self-discipline, which reflects the individual’s ideas about discipline, understanding its meaning and role during job activity, as well as the differences between discipline and self-discipline.

Methods. The study used general scientific research methods aimed at data collection, analysis, systematisation and generalisation, in particular, the analysis of literature sources directly related to the study of discipline as an individual characteristic; the authors’ questionnaire and the “Awareness” scale in the “Discipline” methodology (V. P. Pryadein, N. V. Vorotnikova) were used to test the cognitive component.

Results. The analysis of the cognitive component of self-discipline of the cadets of the Academy of FSIN of Russia and Vladimir Law Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service allowed to determine that the cadets are generally characterised by a scientific understanding of self-discipline. They realise the necessity of discipline, and also divide internal, motivated discipline and external, demonstrative discipline. The findings correspond to the data of the scale “Awareness” of the methodology “Discipline”.

The cadets perceive discipline as something given, being ordered them, but it is not connected with the idea of maintaining discipline as a characteristic of their personality. Based on the obtained results, we can draw conclusions about the importance of diagnostics of the cognitive component of personal discipline, as the revealed predominance of the cadets’ understanding of the importance of external discipline over internal discipline should be considered as a negative moment, which will certainly affect their future professional activity.
Possibilities of the subjective approach in the study of relations of a criminogenic personality to the social environment
Authors: Zlokazov Kirill
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The study is devoted to the description of the possibilities of the subjective approach to identifying the criminogenicity of the individual on the example of his/her relations to the social environment. It notes the disparate perceptions of criminogenicity, which requires the integration of scientific knowledge. The author suggests the possibilities of the subjective approach to describe the criminogenicity of personality. The specificity of the description of criminogenicity in individual-psychological and socioenvironmental concepts is determined. The current state of genetic and neuropsychological studies of personality criminogenicity is described. The role of socio-environmental concepts is revealed. The importance of society in the formation of criminogenicity is noted in the concepts of anomie, social control and socialisation of personality. The importance of subjective attitude mediating the influence of individualpsychological and social-mediological factors is emphasised.

Methods. The methodology of the subject approach was applied in the research process, general scientific (induction, analysis, synthesis) and private-scientific (extrapolation) research methods were used.

Results. The possibilities of the subjective approach to the analysis of the causes of criminogenicity of personality, which are not explained by individual-psychological and socio-environmental concepts of criminogenicity, are described. It is determined that criminogenicity can be considered as a socially negative form of self-actualisation of personality. The self-actualisationis explained through the purposeful manifestation of cognitive and regulatory abilities in order to achieve a personally significant goal. At the same time subjectivity is characterised by defects of moral and ethical sphere, allowing preferring criminal behaviour to law-abiding in the situation of choice. It is noted that the manifestation of subjectivity can be characterised in the context of relations to the social environment, acting as a means of achieving selfrealisation.

The results extend and clarify the possibilities of the subjective approach as applied to the analysis of criminogenic personality. The peculiarities of the implementation of subjectivity of a criminogenic personality in terms of overcoming the difficulties of life activity, formation of self-relationship and involvement of others in self-realisation are shown. The prospects of studying the causes, state and characteristics of relations of criminogenic personality to social environment as a source of new information about criminalisation and decriminalisation of personality are outlined.
"Powieki" Michała Rusinka w świetle dziecięcych interpretacji
Authors: Kisiel Weronika , Kaliszewska-Henczel Magdalena
Published: December 2023

Celem niniejszego artykułu uczyniono identyfikację dziecięcych sposobów rozumienia i interpretowania książki Powieki Michała Rusinka. Materiał do badania (poprzedzonego analizą ikonotekstu) zapewniły zajęcia edukacyjne, przeprowadzone w oddziale przedszkolnym w jednej ze społecznych szkół podstawowych w Łodzi. Badanie zostało osadzone w paradygmacie jakościowym (obserwacja uczestnicząca), a badacze przyjęli rolę interpretacyjnie zaangażowanych obserwatorów-jako-uczestników. Analizując przebieg warsztatu, wypowiedzi i konkretyzacje plastyczne udało się zidentyfikować dziecięce interpretacje kategorii bohaterów, relacji między nimi oraz świata, w którym żyją. Podczas spotkania z pracą Rusinka ujawnił się potencjał interpretacyjny, dotykający przede wszystkim wymiaru emocjonalno-społecznego. Uczestnicy proponowali również alternatywne rozwiązania fabularne na podstawie fragmentów historii o myszach będących w niebezpieczeństwie, dzięki czemu zredukowane zostały napięcia, powstałe w wyniku obcowania z obciążającą emocjonalnie tematyką. Organizowanie sytuacji edukacyjnych wokół książki Powieki wpisuje się w namysł nad sposobami konfrontowania dzieci z wymagającymi zagadnieniami, będącymi na krawędzi kulturowego tabu. Sposób przyjęcia omawianego tekstu otwiera drogę do ponownego sięgnięcia po niego na etapie edukacji wczesnoszkolnej.
Ikonotekst a ochrona środowiska. Ekokrytyczna analiza wybranych norweskich książek dla dzieci
Authors: Garczyńska Helena
Published: December 2023

Celem artykułu jest zbadanie, w jaki sposób zagadnienia związane z ochroną środowiska są przedstawione z perspektywy ekokrytycznej w norweskich książkach obrazkowych dla dzieci. Korzystając z zaprezentowanej teorii odpowiadam na następujące pytania badawcze: Jaka postawa filozoficzna jest przedstawiona w wybranych książkach dla dzieci? Jaki jest obraz natury ukazany w ikonotekście? Jak można zdefiniować opisywane zagrożenie dla środowiska i jego powody? Jak wyglądają relacje człowiek – natura? Czy przedstawiony w książkach kryzys dotyczący środowiska jest według autorów możliwy do zażegnania? oraz Jaka przyszłość maluje się przed ludzkością wg autorów? Materiału do analizy dostarczają Blekkulf. Hval i trøbbel autorstwa Bente Roestad, ilustrowana przez Jerzego Olszaka i Magdalenę Markiewkę, Under polarisen Line Renslebråten oraz Hva er greia med klima? Olego Mathismoena i Jenny Jordahl. Z analizy wynika, że w książkach dominuje postawa antropocentryczna, obraz natury i relacja człowiek – natura są zróżnicowane, kryzys istnieje i jest skutkiem działalności człowieka, choć jego zasięg jest różnie przedstawiony. Odmienny sposób przedstawiania kryzysu może, choć nie musi, wiązać się z gatunkiem analizowanych książek (książka obrazkowa, książka obrazkowa będąca literaturą faktu, komiks). Dominuje narracja pastoralna, wskazująca na możliwość powrotu do stanu pierwotnego natury, choć obecna w jednym tekście narracja apokaliptyczna wskazuje na nieodwracalne zmiany klimatyczne.
Kreacje bohaterów w komiksie edukacyjnym dla dzieci a identyfikacja i przekaz wiedzy
Authors: Suchańska Aleksandra
Published: December 2023

Komiks edukacyjny jest popularnym gatunkiem artystycznym w kulturze dziecięcej, jego siła przekazu i oddziaływania tkwi w korelacji między warstwą werbalną i wizualną (ikonotekstowość). Jednakże nie tylko obraz i tekst mają decydujący wpływ na odbiór wspomnianego medium. Elementem kluczowym dla każdego komiksu jest bowiem postać bohatera (zob. Toeplitz, 1985), która w połączeniu z cartoonowością wpływa na ułatwienie identyfikacji młodym czytelnikom. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie relacji pomiędzy postacią bohatera a przekazem wiedzy i utożsamieniem się z protagonistami. Klasyfikacja, która została przyjęta w rozważaniach, polega na wyróżnieniu czterech typów bohaterów obecnych w komiksach edukacyjnych dla młodych odbiorców: dziecięcego, dorosłego, zwierzęcego i fantastycznego. Analiza wykazała, że protagoniści są konstruowani w taki sposób, aby zmniejszyć dystans pomiędzy czytelnikiem a książką, a tym samym ułatwić młodemu odbiorcy identyfikowanie się z bohaterami. Kreacje postaci w znaczący sposób wpływają na proces lektury i emocje czytelnika, a tym samym dają możliwość poruszania różnych tematów i przekazywania skomplikowanych treści.
