By automating several formerly labor-intensive processes, like setting up a company's communications network, cloud computing technology (CCT) offers significant benefits to organizations and individuals. CCT is a game-changer for every sector since it enables businesses of all stripes to forego asset ownership in favor of paying variable subscription fees. The assessment of the CCT provider selection (PS) issue necessitates the identification of a set of appropriate selection requirements and their sub-criteria. Another goal is to utilize this suggested method in a real-world case study after presenting a robust integrated system for assessing and choosing the best CCT supplier. There are a variety of qualitative and quantitative characteristics that might be at odds with one another or even unclear in CCT PS, making it a challenging multi-criteria selection issue. The single valued neutrosophic set is used to overcome the vague data. The neutrosophic TOPSIS method is used to give weights of criteria and rank the alternatives. The application is introduced by the results of the neutrosophic TOPSIS method.
Criminalization (delictolization) of acts included in the structure of demonstrative-protest crime
Authors: Ильин И.С.
Published: June 2023

Криминализация и деликтолизация деяний, которые выступают проявлением демонстративно-протестной преступности, требует, прежде всего, предварительного надлежащего урегулирования отношений, связанных с реализацией права на свободу собраний и свободу выражения мнений, и обоснования потребности во введении тех или иных условий для их реализации и нивелирования ограничений. Равно как стратегия предупреждения демонстративно-протестной преступности должна следовать государственной политике реагирования на протесты в целом, ответственность за противоправные деяния, связанные с проведением публичных мероприятий, должна определяться общим подходом к регулированию порядка осуществления гражданами своего права на протест.

The criminalization and delictolization of acts that are a manifestation of demonstrative protest crime requires, first of all, a preliminary proper settlement of relations related to the exercise of the right of citizens to freedom of assembly and freedom of expression and justification of the need to introduce certain conditions or restrictions for their implementation. Just as the strategy for the prevention of demonstrative protest crime should follow the state policy of responding to protests in general, liability for illegal acts related to holding public events should be determined by the general approach to regulating the procedure for citizens to exercise their right to protest.

Published: June 2023

В статье рассмотрены проблемные аспекты собирания цифровых (электронных) следов преступной деятельности и дальнейшее их использование в качестве доказательства по уголовному делу. Проанализированы существующие подходы к понятию «цифровой след» как в криминалистике, так и в уголовно-процессуальной науке. Проведён анализ следственных действий, в ходе которых возможно изъятие электронных следов. Аргументирована позиция о необходимости ввода нового следственного действия, направленного на изъятие электронных следов, и о введении нового вида доказательств (электронных). Изложены обоснования необходимости наличия у следователя знаний о способах и методах изъятия цифровых следов с целью эффективного расследования кибепреступлений. Цель работы – исследовать проблемные аспекты собирания, изъятия и дальнейшего использования цифровых (электронных) следов в целях эффективного расследования уголовных дел. Актуальность статьи обусловлена тем, что в настоящее время, согласно статистическим данным ГИАЦ МВД России о состоянии преступности, до 38 % преступлений в общей структуре преступности совершаются с использованием современных технологий, а раскрываемость таких преступлений едва достигает 25 %. В связи с этим необходимо осветить порядок поиска цифровых следов и их использования в качестве доказательств, механизм их изъятия, в том числе с опорой на международный опыт.

The article discusses the problematic aspects of collecting digital (electronic) traces of criminal activity, the further use of such traces as evidence in a criminal case. The existing approaches to the concept of digital traces in both criminology and criminal procedure science are analyzed. The analysis of investigative actions, during which the seizure of electronic traces is possible, is carried out. The position on the need for both the introduction of a new investigative action aimed at the removal of electronic traces and the introduction of a new type of evidence – electronic is argued. The substantiation of the need for the investigator to have knowledge about the methods and methods of removing digital traces in order to effectively investigate cybercrimes is presented. The purpose of the work is to investigate problematic aspects of collecting, removing and further using digital (electronic) traces for the purpose of effective investigation of criminal cases. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that currently up to 38% of crimes in the general structure of crime are committed using modern technologies, and the detection rate of such crimes barely reaches 25%. In this regard, it is necessary to highlight the procedure for searching for digital traces and their use as evidence, to highlight the mechanism of their seizure, including relying on international experience.

On the study of fake prescriptions giving the right to receive narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances (based on the materials of the Republic of Kazakhstan)
Authors: Воеводкин Д.В.
Published: June 2023

В статье рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с исследованием поддельных рецептурных бланков на получение лекарственных средств, содержащих наркотические вещества и прекурсоры, в качестве предмета преступного посягательства. Проведен сравнительный анализ требований нормативных правовых актов Республики Казахстан и Российской Федерации, регламентирующих требования к защищенности рецептурных специальных бланков. По результатам исследования обращено внимание на отсутствие в Республике Казахстан в нормативных правовых актах требований к степеням защиты не только рецептурных бланков, но и иной полиграфической продукции; констатируется необходимость разработки по опыту Российской Федерации требований к защищенности полиграфической продукции, не относящейся к документам государственного образца. Предлагается внесение дополнений в отдельные нормативные правовые акты, внедрение дополнительных элементов защиты рецептурных бланков, а также переход процедуры выписывания рецептов в электронный формат, что позволит осуществлять контроль за отпуском лекарственных средств, содержащих наркотические средства, психотропные вещества, посредством использования единой сети. Применительно к следственной практике расследования рассматриваемой разновидности преступлений с учетом особой обстановки их совершения внесен ряд предложений по оптимизации проведения первоначальных и неотложных следственных действий, в числе которых особое внимание уделено осмотру.

The article deals with issues related to the study of counterfeit prescription forms for obtaining medicines containing narcotic substances and precursors as a subject of criminal encroachment. A comparative analysis of the requirements of regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation regulating the requirements for the security of prescription special forms is carried out. According to the results of the study, attention is drawn to the absence in the Republic of Kazakhstan in regulatory legal acts of requirements for the degrees of protection of not only prescription forms, but also other printed products; the need to develop, based on the experience of the Russian Federation, requirements for the security of printed products that are not related to state-issued documents is stated. It is proposed to make additions to certain regulatory legal acts, the introduction of additional elements for the protection of prescription forms, as well as the transition of the prescription procedure to an electronic format, which will allow monitoring the release of medicines containing narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, through the use of a single network. With regard to the investigative practice of investigating the type of crimes under consideration, taking into account the special situation of their commission, a number of proposals have been made to optimize the conduct of initial and urgent investigative actions, including special attention to inspection.

Especialização e Vulnerabilidade: uma análise do setor sucroenergético no Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba (MG)
Authors: Stacciarini João Henrique Santana
Published: June 2023

Este artigo examina o alto grau de especialização territorial produtiva vinculado ao setor sucroenergético em 11 municípios da Mesorregião do Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba (MG) e sua propensão à dependência e vulnerabilidade. Entre 1996 e 2020 o cultivo da cana-de-açúcar cresceu 936%, representando agora 97,2% do volume total (toneladas) produzido pela agricultura e concentrando 71,9% do montante financeiro arrecadado com atividades agrícolas. A análise revelou um alto grau de monopolização do território regional, com apenas dois grupos sucroenergéticos, detentores de sete usinas nesses municípios especializados, demandando 286,3 mil hectares completamente dedicados às suas atividades. Essa área é superior à soma de cinco dos territórios avaliados. Além disso, foi constatado que apenas a Usina Delta (matriz) requer uma área seis vezes maior do que todo o território municipal em que se encontra instalada. O artigo também resgata a situação de dois municípios da mesorregião que tiveram suas expectativas frustradas após a falência de tradicionais grupos econômicos do setor sucroenergético e passaram a experimentar severas problemáticas socioeconômicas. Esses cenários revelam as limitações da opção pelo modelo de especialização territorial produtiva como indutor de crescimento econômico, assim como a propensão dos municípios envolvidos nesses processos a quadros de vulnerabilidade e dependência.

Published: June 2023

A implementação de assentamentos na Amazônia, em alguns casos, resultou em problemas ambientais. No Amapá, a agricultura itinerante é um dos principais modelos de produção utilizados por agricultores familiares; porém, essa técnica vem aumentando a degradação dos solos. Deste modo, o trabalho objetiva utilizar aerofotogrametria para avaliar com precisão as condições ambientais de um assentamento com passivos ambientais. Foi utilizado um drone para mapear a área de estudo e um GPS geodésico para o levantamento topográfico. Através disso, foi possível obter dados do terreno com erro de precisão centimétrica possibilitando a vetorização de Áreas de Proteção Permanente e de Remanescente de Vegetação Nativa. O cálculo das áreas especiais forneceu informações importantes para elaboração de um plano de manejo, visando a recuperação da área com passivos ambientais.

Published: June 2023

O Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) passou por diversas transformações, mas foi a partir de 2009 que teve seu maior avanço, com a promulgação da Lei n. 11.947. Entre as mudanças promovidas por esta legislação, destaca-se em seu artigo 14, que estabelece a obrigatoriedade de que um mí­nimo de 30% do recurso repassado aos municí­pios pelo Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Educação (FNDE) deve ser destinado à compra de alimentos da agricultura familiar. Este estudo objetivou conhecer o ní­vel de atendimento ao artigo 14 da Lei n. 11.947/2009, caracterizar indicadores de publicação e de adequação à legislação do PNAE de editais de chamada pública e examinar o grau de processamento dos alimentos presentes nestes editais, divulgados no perí­odo de 2015 a 2017. Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa analí­tica de base documental e abordagem quantitativa. Verificou-se um leve aumento do número de municí­pios catarinenses que aplicaram o mí­nimo de 30% do recurso do FNDE na compra direta da agricultura familiar. Foram publicadas 661 chamadas públicas, sendo que 48,2% (n=319) delas continham entregas descentralizadas e 45,7% (n=302) não apresentava a informação de periodicidade das entregas. Entretanto, 96% (n=634) das chamadas públicas continham a informação de preço. Observou-se predominância (67,9%; n=148) de alimentos in natura e minimamente processados nos editais analisados. A carência de informações nesses editais pode representar uma barreira para que o agricultor familiar participe do fornecimento de alimentos para o PNAE.Â Â

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a governança participativa como fator chave para o processo de inovação social decorrente da implantação do Programa Cisternas nas Escolas, visto que ele pode ser compreendido como um contí­nuo processo de associações que envolvem diferentes atores. Iniciado em 2009, o Programa leva água para escolas rurais da região semiárida brasileira, viabilizando a construção de cisternas de 52 mil litros para captação e armazenamento da água de chuva a partir do telhado das escolas. São articulados esforços de atores como o poder público, sociedade civil organizada e comunidade escolar e local. Os dados empí­ricos foram obtidos por meio de observação direta, análise documental, survey e estudos de casos qualitativos em profundidade, nos quais foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com informantes chave. Percebe-se que a cisterna, como uma tecnologia social inovadora, contribuiu para a solução de grande parte dos problemas resultantes da escassez de água nas escolas da região analisada e que a sua reaplicação, por meio de um Programa de Governo, só se tornou possí­vel, diante do engajamento de uma diversidade de atores.

Published: June 2023

Nos municípios da Ilha do Marajó, ricos em biodiversidade, mas que apresentam os mais baixos índices de desenvolvimento humano (IDH) do país, o acesso à alimentação saudável e de boa qualidade, para crianças e jovens da região, muitas vezes só é possível na merenda escolar. A regionalização desta, a partir da identificação de alimentos tradicionais, dentro de um conceito de “sistemas agroalimentares locais” pode ser uma nova possibilidade de desenvolvimento para esses municípios, partindo da agricultura familiar local,  (re)construindo pontes relacionais dada a proximidade entre produtos, produtores e consumidores. Compreender a dinâmica destes sistemas em suas complexas redes e cadeias que vão da produção ao consumo, bem como suas aplicações pragmáticas na realidade, constituem relevância essencial para avançar no debate em torno do desenvolvimento rural. Assim, o presente artigo busca, à luz deste conceito, apresentar e debater a experiência do Programa de Regionalização da Merenda Escolar no município de Soure/PA, como forma de identidade e desenvolvimento rural local. O procedimento metodológico empregado foi o estudo de caso, contextualizando esta iniciativa e descrevendo-a em profundidade a partir da coleta e análise de dados por meio de entrevistas, observação, uso de dados secundários e análise documental. Os resultados apontam uma experiência exitosa e de importante impacto positivo, onde foi possível que estudantes pudessem passar a dispor de alimentação saudável e segura, paralelamente ao desenvolvimento de empreendimentos agroalimentares e avanços na pauta da sustentabilidade da agricultura familiar e ecossistema econômico-social local.
GIDSEN-DAT ZIJN WE ALLEMAAL
Authors: Notten Natascha
Published: June 2023

Kansengelijkheid, dat is wat we als samenleving graag willen. We willen dat het niet uitmaakt waar je geboren bent voor de kansen die je krijgt in je leven en dat ongeacht herkomst iedereen evenveel kans heeft op het volgen van een passende opleiding en op wonen in een gezonde leefomgeving. We willen dat iedereen in goede gezondheid ouder kan worden en de kans heeft om zich uit te drukken door muziek of poëzie en nog veel meer. Maar dit is niet het geval en dat is al heel lang zo. Praktisch opgeleiden leven ongeveer vijftien jaar korter dan mensen die een theoretische opleiding hebben gevolgd. Kinderen uit gezinnen waarvan de ouders een lager inkomen hebben, krijgen vaker een lager schooladvies aan het eind van groep acht dan hun klasgenootjes met dezelfde cito score uit een welvarend gezin. Er is een kansenkloof die vaak van generatie op generatie wordt overgedragen. Toch lukt het kinderen, jongeren of hele gezinnen soms wél om kansen te pakken in een omgeving waarin die niet voor het oprapen liggen. Heel vaak, of eigenlijk bijna altijd, hebben gidsen hier een cruciale rol in gespeeld (Notten, 2021). En het goede nieuws is: gidsen zijn we in potentie allemaal.

Известно, что для прогноза сильных землетрясений, сейсмического районирования, сейсмостойкого строительства, а также для решения ряда других структурных задач геофизики, необходимо иметь однородные, достоверные и полные данные о пространственном распределении гипо-центров землетрясений. Для получения полных и точных данных пространственных распре-делений (начиная с некоторого энергетического класса) необходимо иметь эффективную систему наблюдений, способную обеспечить точность регистрации исходных данных. В работе показано, что данные системы наблюдений НССЗ за период 1991-98гг., а также результаты обработки недостаточны для получения достоверных результатов для решения ряда структурных задач геофизики. Произошла непоправимая потеря исходных данных из-за неполной деятельности системы наблюдений.
It is known that for the prediction of strong earthquakes, seismic zoning, earthquake-resistant construction, as well as for solving a number of other structural problems of geophysics, it is necessary to have homogeneous, reliable and complete data on the spatial distribution of earthquake hypocenters. To obtain complete and accurate data on spatial distributions (starting from a certain energy class), it is necessary to have an efficient observation system that can ensure the accuracy of recording the initial data. The paper shows that the data of the NSSS observation system for the period of 1991-98, as well as the results of processing, are not enough to obtain reliable results for solving a number of structural problems of geophysics. There was an irreparable loss of the original data due to the incomplete operation of the observing system.

Published: June 2023

The major objective of this investigation was to assess the costs and benefits for farmers of the BINA advanced draught-tolerant cultivar Binamasur-10 in Nachole and Sadar upazilas of Chapainawabganj district, Bangladesh. All of the original data used in this investigation was acquired from 50 farmers who grew the Binamasur-10 variety, through a pre-planned interview schedule and data collected from April to May 2021. To estimate profitability in this study, costs and return evaluation were done using variable value and total price principles. A total of Tk. 51370.47 was spent on production costs per ha, of which 35% were fixed costs and 65% were variable costs. The cost in Nachole was Tk. 51799.24 per ha, while the cost in Chapainawabganj Sadar was Tk. 50941.70 per ha. In the studied locations, the average net return was Tk. 61909.25 per ha, greater in Chapainwabganj Sadar (Tk. 74050.57 ha-1) than in Nachole (Tk. 49767.92 ha-1). The BCR was assessed to be 2.20 based on overall cost, which was similarly higher in Sadar (2.45) than in Nachole (1.96), both of which are located in the Chapainawabganj district. The 88% of respondents mentioned that shortage of Binamasur-10 seeds was the top constraint. Other restrictions include the lack of information (51%), lack of technical understanding (40%), increased insect infestation (38%), untimely rainfall (36%), and high insecticide costs (19%). Farmers in these regions ought to have access to superior lentil seeds at reasonable market rates as a result. Therefore, the current study is a modest attempt to investigate if the availability of pulse seeds of higher quality at a lower cost could increase production in the chosen areas.

Published: June 2023

Natural slope protection is challenging all over the country. The study assessed the application of newly designed porous concrete block over conventional concrete block in slope protection. In the study, four different types of concrete blocks were designed; three of them were 8″×8″×3″ and one was 9″×9″×3″ in size. One 8″×8″×3″ porous concrete block design was selected based on it’s compressive strength. Another conventional concrete block of same size was selected for comparing the results. After preparation, the porous and conventional concrete blocks were placed on the slope of a selected earthen canal in a 3-row and 11-column format. According to the findings, the porous concrete block was vegetative while the conventional concrete block was not. The porous concrete block required less volume of materials, which reduced the cost by 18.2% over the conventional concrete block. It is concluded that the newly designed porous concrete block is more cost-effective, light-weight, and vegetative-compatible than the conventional concrete block of the same size. Therefore, the study suggests applying the newly designed porous concrete block to protect the natural slope.

Background: In routine clinical practice, fixed dose combinations (FDCs), which contain two or more active medications in a single dosage form, are used to treat a variety of disorders. Adverse drug reactions can occur when FDCs are used. Understanding FDCs can help patients receive better care and live longer. It is crucial for aspiring doctors to be aware of and knowledgeable about prescription FDCs to treat patients and improve healthcare.

Aims and Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness on FDCs among undergraduate medical students.

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the department of pharmacology, Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences, Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu. A total of 100 students were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic data of all the students were recorded. Questions regarding FDCs were given to the selected subjects and asked to fill within the prescribed time. Filled questionnaires were collected and analyzed.

Results: Total 150 students were screened and 100 were included in the study. It was observed that all the students aware about Essential Medical List (EML) and FDCs. The main source of information about FDCs was journals and Continuing Medical Education (CME). The knowledge about standard operating procedure, patient compliance, adverse reaction, and expenditure was lacking among the medical students. Awareness program was recommended by 70% of the study participants to improve the knowledge about FDCs.

Conclusion: Despite the fact, the students being aware of FDCs, it is necessary to increase their understanding of rationale, EML, and application, as well as banned FDCs. While the health of the patient is in the hands of medical professionals, the resident doctors must know about the benefits, risks, and appropriate use of FDCs at the undergraduate education level.

For as long as political theory and political philosophy have existed time immemorial, the concept of the hero has not been adequately treated. Although this appears to be the case, the surface does not reveal the entire truth, and fact does not fit fiction. The concept of the hero in political theory has existed indirectly. The concept of the hero and hero-worship has been applied to all walks of life and all forms of fiction, fantasy, and reality. This study explains the evolution of the concept of the hero in terms of Western philosophy and focuses on how it has evolved over the centuries. There can be no hero without the anti-hero and no victory without defeat.

Since the People’s Action Party (PAP) came into power in 1959, there has been a series of tensions and tussles between the Chinese educated in their vernacular and the western-trained Chinese, whose own mother tongue is Chinese but who embrace western values such as liberty and western religion. The Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools in Singapore – for example, Hwa Chong Institution and Catholic High School – were introduced in 1979 and remain the result of an elite education system built to ensure that there remains a core of Chinese-educated elites in Singapore who are educated at the first language levels in English and in Mandarin (Putonghua). This is to offset the balance between the dominant English-educated Chinese and the Chinese-educated Chinese in Singapore. Several problems are associated with the SAP schools, which are analyzed in this study. This study concludes with the power of Kuan Yew Lee and his PAP and provides several possible solutions to the SAP school problem and how they may be fixed over the short term for all Singaporeans alike. Raffles Institution, Anglo-Chinese School, and St. Joseph’s Institution have long histories in Singapore but are not SAP schools, thus proving that SAP schools may not even be necessary in the first place in the globalized world.
The end of the sociology of Marxism: on the meaning of capitalism in modernity

This study is about the failure of sociology as a discipline and the evolution of its failure from a Neo Marxist perspective since the time of Nietzsche until the postmodern turn. The Berlin Wall was the metaphor for western Neo Marxism and Neo Marxist theory. This study makes use of how the Frankfurt School tried to salvage the namesake of Sociology only to fail as the Berlin Wall collapsed in 1989. The study concludes with the incipient nature of sociology as a discipline and how its seeds of destruction were already embedded at the time of its origin.

Finding the distributions of eigenstresses induced by eigenstrains regardless of their type is a fundamental problem in mechanical engineering, described by complex mathematical models. Analytical solutions exist only for a small number of particular distributions of eigenstrains. This paper advances a numerical solution for the eigenstresses due to arbitrary distributions of eigenstrains in an infinite space. The imposed discretization transforms the continuous problem space into a set of adjacent cuboids, each characterized by a single value calculated analytically in a chosen point, usually the cuboid centre. In this manner, continuous functions are replaced in the mathematical model by sets of values calculated in discrete points, which, if the discretization is fine enough, replicate well the continuous distributions. The contribution of the uniform eigenstrains from a specific cuboid, to the eigenstresses in the calculation point, expressed analytically in the literature, is used as a starting point. To reduce the high computational requirements for superposition, state-of-the-art spectral methods for the acceleration of convolution products are applied. A Matlab computer program was developed to implement the newly advanced method. The case of a cuboid containing uniform dilatational eigenstrains was first simulated for validation purposes. Small deviations from the analytical solution can be observed near the inclusion boundary, but their magnitude decreases with finer meshes, suggesting it’s a discretization related error. The results were then extended by considering radially decreasing eigenstrains inside an ellipsoid.

Due to the recent development of additive manufacturing technologies, it is now possible to achieve rapid fabrication of fully functional customized products with high geometric complexity and without the constraints of traditional manufacturing techniques, such as machining. In the current paper, a lower prosthetic limb with the knee joint was designed according to the international standards and the recommendations from existing literature. Finite element analyses were performed to investigate the mechanical behavior of the prosthetic limb and detect the stress concentration regions under realistic operation conditions. For this analysis, Nickel alloy 718 was employed as a construction material. The applied loads were derived for a human body weight of 75kg after an extensive literature review. Then, design optimization was applied, employing design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) techniques in order to minimize the number of assembly parts and improve the shape of the object. Moreover, topology optimization processes were performed in order to develop a lightweight prosthetic limb and achieve a mass reduction of 67% compared to the original design. It is worth mentioning that, this remarkable weight reduction was attained without compromising the structural integrity of the part, as the factor of safety was calculated at 1.22.

The good combination of injection molding parameters (IMP) will make high quality product by elimination of defects occurred during injection molding process such as warpage and shrinkage. This paper investigates influence of IMPs on shrinkage and warpage on injection molding process using hot runner system. Taguchi method and ANOVA analysis are used to optimize the IMPs including melt temperature, filling time, injection pressure, packing pressure, coolant inlet temperature, cooling time, and flow rate. The analysis and simulation processes were done by using a Moldflow software. The plastic material is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) with some features of the dimensional stability, chemical endurance, and simple processing capacity. The results show that melt temperature and coolant temperature are the main factors affecting the warpage with 66.67% of melt temperature and 15.59% of cooling temperature. The melt temperature and packing pressure are the main factors affecting the shrinkage with 74.62% of melt temperature and 19.46% of packing pressure. The optimal IMP is retested with warpage defect reduced 16.6% and shrinkage decreased of about 2.45% after optimization.

Modern technologies need more and more precise computer design of manufacturing processes. Especially it is visible in thermal processing of steel, such as hot rolling, hot forging, casting, welding, 3D printing, and so on. An application of computer simulation of austenite decomposition in optimization of manufacturing of low alloyed steel bars by hot rolling was studied. For this purpose the mathematical model and computer software for very precise anticipation of TTT diagrams data was developed. The calculation of TTT diagrams data was based on chemical composition of low alloyed steels. The study started with definition mechanisms of austenite decomposition at constant subcritical temperatures. The mechanism of γ→α phase change in steel is not yet been adequately clarified. Methods for calibration of kinetic equations of austenite phase transition at constant subcritical temperatures were developed in this paper. Mathematical modeling of TTT diagrams data consists both, prediction of kinetic of phase transformations and anticipation of steel hardness. It was found out that the hardness of both, microstructural constituents and total hardness of steel mostly depends on the carbon content and temperature of γ→α phase transformation. The model of TTT diagrams data of low alloyed steel was verified in purpose to apply the model of isothermal decomposition of austenite in very precise method for prediction of microstructure composition and hardness of hot rolled steel bars. The verification of developed model was done by comparison of the calculated results of TTT diagrams data with experimentally estimated TTT diagrams data. By the simulation of hardness and microstructural composition of hot rolled steel bar the optimal cooling regime in cooling beds can be designed.
