Evaluation of Dental Students’ Sociodemographic Characteristics and Perspectives on Dentistry
Authors: Kizildağ Alper
Published: January 2025

Objective: There are numerous factors that play a role in a student’s selection of a profession, including examinations that need to be passed before being admitted into a programme such as dentistry. The aim of this study was to investigate the sociodemographic characteristics of the students admitted to the Pamukkale University Faculty of Dentistry based on their Student Selection and Placement Examination score, to determine their reasons for entering dental school and to examine their expectations from the dental profession.
Methods: We administered a questionnaire to the first-, second-, and third-year students of the Pamukkale University Faculty of Dentistry. The questionnaire collected the students’ gender, type of high school they graduated from, the region of Turkey they were from, their reasons for selecting dental school and their expectations about dentistry.
Results: Overall, 69.5% of the students entered the faculty of dentistry voluntarily. In addition, 70.3% of the students stated that would still enter dental school if they were to take the placement examination again. The majority of students stated that it is important for a dentist to be helpful to people. Moreover, a significant proportion of the students planned to continue with dental specialisation after graduating from dental school.
Conclusion: Willingly choosing to attend dental school and to become a dentist would help students cope with the myriad challenges they will experience in their education and professional lives. In addition, the fact that students' financial gain expectations when they become dentists remain in the background will ensure that more attention is paid to professional ethics.

Evaluation of Dentists' Awareness Level About Dental Implant Failures in Early Period
Authors: Şik Halil İbrahim , Arpağ Osman Fatih , Doğan Burak
Published: January 2025

Objective: To determine the awareness levels of dentists about possible risk factors in order to prevent early implant losses.
Methods: The questionnaire form was directed to the participants online. Statistical analyzes were made with frequency analysis and Chi-square test.
Results: Majority of the participants usually (68.4%) prescribe amoxicillin (postoperatively 1 g 2x1) to patients in implant surgeries. While the rate of those who thought that prophylactic antibiotic therapy was mostly and always effective in preventing early implant loss was 17.6%, this rate was 42.7% for postoperative antibiotherapy applications. The highest rate of thinking that prophylactic antibiotherapy is effective in preventing early implant loss was found in the periodontology specialist (20.5%) group. Periodontology specialists (23.3%) were the group who thought that the effectiveness of postoperative antibiotherapy was the least in this regard. History of periodontitis (76.3%) and postoperative complication development (73.1%), diabetes (92.4%), smoking (89.8%) and osteoporosis (78.7%) were evaluated as the factors that have the most impact on early implant loss.
Conclusion: It is thought that the general knowledge level of the dentists participating in the survey about early implant loss is sufficient. We believe that it would be beneficial to organize postgraduate vocational training programs in order to eliminate the differences between the knowledge levels of dentists.

Comparison of Edgefile X3-One Curve File Systems and Cold Lateral Condensation-Single Cone Filling Techniques in Monoblocks With Simulated Curved Root Canals
Authors: Karaosmanoğlu Akin Deniz , Maden Murat
Published: January 2025

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the effects of EdgeFile X3 and One Curve files on the angle of curvature and the effectiveness of cold lateral condensation and single-cone filling techniques in monoblocks with curved root canals.
Methods: One hundred and eight monoblocks were divided into three main groups according to the curvature angle. Main group I had curvature angle of 5° at a distance of 6 mm from the root apex; main group II had curvature angle of 20° at the same distance from the root apex; and main group III had curvature angle of 20° at the same distance and curvature angle of 30° at a distance of 12 mm from the root apex. The main groups were divided into sub and end groups according to the use of Edgefile X3, One Curve, cold lateral condensation and single-cone techniques.
Results: With the One Curve, more straightening was observed in the curvature angle of the root canals in main group III. In main group III, there was a significant negative correlation between the change in apical and coronal curvature angles and the gutta-percha ratio and a significant positive correlation with the canal sealer ratio for both techniques.
Conclusions: With the Edgefile X3 file system, the shaping process took less time and the angular change was less. It was concluded that the main determinant of higher gutta-percha ratio was the filling technique used and the single-cone filling technique was more successful.

Social Participation: A Good Life After Retirement in Russia
Authors: Martynova Liliya , Mathew Puthenparambil Jiby
Published: January 2025

Social activities that older adults engage in are vital to social policy on ageing in Russia. This study looks from the eudaimonic perspective at the participation of older adults in three Russian social projects featuring activities in volunteering, fashion modelling and traditional handicrafts. Qualitative and quantitative methods were applied to analyse 934 completed online surveys. Despite differences in the types of activities, the results showed that satisfaction with fulfilling older adults' motivations to participate and the benefits they gained from participation led to improvements in their perceptions of life after retirement. According to the participants, additional indicators such as the sense of being needed, the feeling of happiness, and self-assessment of health also improved. However, organising social activities requires flexibility to meet older people’s heterogeneous needs and interests according to changes in their personal situation or the external environment. To achieve a sense of well-being in older age, these activities must satisfy internal motivations to participate and should cover essential needs of relatedness, competence, and autonomy.
Dancing Hands: On Neurodivergent Embodied Knowledge
Authors: Püschel Anna
Published: January 2025

This article gives insight into my artistic research project Stimming a Space, which explores “stimming”—auto‐regulative behaviour—as a means to make and hold space for neurodivergent individuals within the art world. The umbrella term “neurodiversity” describes developmental conditions such as autism, ADHD, or dyspraxia. Neurodivergent individuals stim extensively due to frequently occurring sensory issues. I argue that parallel to movements of “queering” public spaces that result in increasing safety for all gender identities, “cripping” spaces through adjusting them to neurodivergent needs can be beneficial to everyone in a competitive capitalist environment such as the art world: from education to art spaces and academia that host an increasing number of artistic researchers. Diversity in the art world is not a luxury but a need. Despite recent motions for inclusion, disabled artists still encounter “ableism,” othering, and exclusion. Lack of diversity perpetuates stereotypes and mental obstacles. From an “emic” perspective, the research project Stimming a Space approaches neurodiversity as a disability affecting the entire body instead of solely focusing on symptoms such as speech impairment or executive dysfunction. As a counterweight to much literature that problematises stimming as “disruptive behaviour,” this autoethnographic research approaches it as a performative tool and claims that exploring the entire “bodymind” and embracing stimming as a radical act of self‐care can enrich current research on neurodiversity. Opening up the art world is not a mere act of solidarity—lived inclusion makes it more accessible and safer for everyone.

Background. Given the high prevalence of hormone-sensitive breast cancer in Russia and around the world, it is extremely important to address the issue of indications for neoadjuvant (NACT) or adjuvant chemotherapy, as well as the scope and regimens of treatment. The article presents the results of our own study, considers the problems of toxicity and tolerability of dose-dense and standard NACT regimens.

Aim. To study the tolerability of dose-dense and standard NACT regimens.

Materials and methods. The prospective study included 109 patients. 53 patients received dose-dense NACT as preoperative treatment, 56 – the standard NACT regimen.

Results. In dose-dense NACT, the frequency and severity of anemia (p = 0.038), hepatotoxicity (p <0.001), peripheral polyneuropathy (p <0.001) increased, but the frequency of delayed start of the cycle in general (p = 0.012) and delay due to neutropenia (p <0.001) decreased.

Conclusion. When planning preventive chemotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer (NACT or adjuvant chemotherapy), it is necessary to take into account not only the oncological results in increasing recurrence-free and overall survival, but also the tolerability of therapy.

Reseña de: Eugenia Fosalba (ed.), Clasicismo horaciano en tiempos de Garcilaso de la Vega
Authors: Macías Fuentes Delia
Published: January 2025

La cuarta publicación colectiva del equipo Pronapoli resulta ser el magnífico libro que ahora tenemos el placer de reseñar: Clasicismo horaciano en tiempos de Garcilaso de la Vega, Bulletin Hispanique, Presses Universitaires de Bordeaux, 125-1, 2023. Eugenia Fosalba explica en el prefacio a tan contundente contribución a los estudios clásicos en relación con la obra del toledano que fueron afirmaciones sobre la poesía de Garcilaso como las de Pietro Bembo, Paolo Giovio y Girolamo Seripando, coincidentes todas en la excelencia de su horacianismo, las que llevaron a su directora a poner el rumbo de esta segunda edición del proyecto “Garcilaso en Italia” en este sentido. El objetivo era entender el porqué de esta excelencia (traducida en el reconocimiento de su suavitas o dulzura, típicamente horaciana), estudiando el contexto italiano, y sobre todo napolitano, que la hizo posible, aunque también parece que se ha hecho indispensable tener muy en cuenta el tapiz europeo en que se movió el poeta: en este sentido, el hallazgo simultáneo a estas investigaciones de dos odas latinas de Garcilaso, desconocidas hasta el momento, que se dieron a conocer en el congreso napolitano (en abril de 2022, Università degli Studi Suor Orsola Benincasa), origen de este libro, es una prueba más del profundo acierto de la orientación impresa a las nuevas investigaciones garcilasianas dirigidas por Eugenia Fosalba: por un lado, la mencionada aparición de la oda en alabanza de Pietro Bembo y otra oda dedicada a Johan Alexander Brancassius, descubiertas por Maria Czepiel, quien analiza en el volumen las fuentes horacianas y sannazarianas en ambas obras; la IP del proyecto se dedica, por su parte, a analizar el sentido de la voz suavitas, que como explica el gran valedor de nuestro poeta en Nápoles, Girolamo Seripando, en su texto dedicado a las Exequias del Emperador (1559), tiene que ver con la finísima y creadora imitación propia del orador, y no del simple intérprete; la investigadora aporta a su vez alguna fuente horaciana no tenida en cuenta hasta ahora, en la apertura de la Ode ad florem Gnidi, fuente imbricada a la Lyra I de Pontano, que sustituye el río del venusino, por el mar Tirreno, aquí, como el pontaniano, pétreo, marmóreo.
Emanuel Sueyro, un traductor de Tácito, Salustio y Veleyo Patérculo, alabado por Lope
Authors: Fernández Álvarez María
Published: January 2025

Este artículo indaga en la figura de Emanuel Sueyro (1587–1629), concretamente en su faceta de traductor de autores clásicos en el Flandes hispánico del siglo XVII. Hasta el momento, conocemos su labor diplomática, pero son escasos los estudios que han abordado su vertiente cultural, a pesar de ser autor de una extensa obra historiográfica (Anales de Flandes, 1624) y de haber traducido las obras de historiadores latinos como Tácito (1613), Salustio (1615) y Veleyo Patérculo (1630). Sus trabajos no permanecieron ajenos a los círculos culturales del seiscientos, como demuestran los testimonios encontrados que vinculan su figura con Lope de Vega. Las sucesivas ediciones de sus traducciones reflejan que sus versiones castellanas de los clásicos latinos fueron ampliamente acogidas en el siglo posterior.

Published: January 2025

A ausência de aparato legal de política urbana colabora com os problemas de ordenamento territorial nos pequenos municípios, que por isso, enfrentam um crescimento desordenado, especialmente quando seu potencial turístico começa a ser explorado. Olaria é um desses municípios, em que, após a criação de uma Unidade de Conservação, foi aprovada uma Lei urbanística. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar tal lei e suas possíveis implicações no município. Apesar de o Estatuto da Cidade exigir o Plano Diretor para municípios com especial interesse turístico, os gestores de Olaria optaram pela criação de uma lei que estabelece “zonas de expansão urbana”, especificando algumas áreas, sem legislar sobre o crescimento de outras. A metodologia empregada nesta pesquisa consistiu nos levantamentos de referencial teórico, documental; produção de mapas; visitas técnicas com medições e registros fotográficos. Após esse levantamento, os dados foram analisados de forma a identificar os problemas urbanos, contrapondo-os à legislação aprovada

Estudo preliminar sobre a produção de concreto de ultra-alto desempenho com adição de fibra de sisal e substituição parcial de cimento Portland por resíduo de vidro
Authors: Farias Alana Rúbia , Trentin Luiz Fernando Zambiasi , Borçato Allan Guimarães
Published: January 2025

O concreto de ultra-alto desempenho (UHPC) é um material com propriedades físicas e mecânicas avançadas, caracterizado por uma baixa relação água/aglomerante. No entanto, essa característica leva a uma predisposição para a formação de fissuras devido à retração autógena. Para mitigar esses efeitos, fibras metálicas e não metálicas têm sido utilizadas, embora apresentem alta pegada de carbono. Além disso, o UHPC consome grandes quantidades de cimento Portland (CP), resultando em impactos ambientais significativos. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo investigou materiais alternativos, como resíduos de vidro (RV) e fibra de sisal (FS), para substituir materiais com maior pegada de carbono. Quatro misturas de UHPC foram preparadas, contendo 0%, 10%, 20% e 30% de substituição de CP por RV, todas com adição de 1% de FS. As propriedades avaliadas incluíram resistência à compressão, absorção de água por imersão e índice de vazios. Além disso, foi realizada uma análise de ecoeficiência para avaliar a pegada de carbono de cada mistura produzida. Os resultados indicaram que a substituição parcial de PC por RV promoveu aumento da resistência à compressão em idades avançadas. A análise estatística destacou que a mistura com 20% de RV atingiu a maior resistência à compressão, atingindo 103,8 MPa em 180 dias. Em relação à ecoeficiência, a incorporação de RV e FS resultou em UHPC mais sustentável, com a mistura contendo 30% de GW atingindo uma pegada de carbono de 5,6 kg CO2/m3/MPa em 180 dias. Conclui-se que o uso de RV e FS demonstra o potencial para o desenvolvimento de concreto de ultra-alto desempenho ambientalmente sustentável.
Weber's Social Action Analysis on the Phenomenon of Millennial Generation Marriage Postpone in Al-Quran Perspective
Authors: Yuniarsih Krisma , Sumedi Sumedi
Published: January 2025

The phenomenon of postponing marriage among millennials indicates a change in mindset and life priorities due to the influence of modernity. This study aims to investigate the views and definition of marriage according to the millennial generation, the social factors that influence the millennial generation's decision to postpone marriage according to Weber's social action theory, and the Quranic (Islamic) perspective on this phenomenon. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were collected from previous research results, scientific journal articles, survey reports, and official statistical documents that discuss the marriage patterns of the millennial generation in the 2018-2025 timeframe, the Quran, hadith, and tafsir relevant to the theme of marriage and family formation. Data analysis was conducted through data categorization based on Weber's four types of social action, data interpretation, comparative analysis between empirical findings and Quranic perspectives, and conclusion drawing that integrates the two perspectives. The results of the analysis show that millennials postpone marriage to achieve financial stability, self-development, and emotional compatibility with partners. Emotional factors such as relationship trauma and expectations of an ideal marriage also influence this decision. Meanwhile, religious values emphasize the importance of balancing worldly and spiritual demands, providing guidance on maintaining chastity and preparing for marriage thoroughly.

Published: January 2025

Pada era pendidikan abad ke-21, tuntutan terhadap perguruan tinggi di seluruh dunia untuk memiliki standar mutu internasional atau menciptakan World Class University (WCU) semakin meningkat. Indonesia, sebagai bagian dari negara-negara yang mengejar hal ini, secara aktif mengundang mahasiswa asing untuk belajar di Indonesia guna mewujudkan mutu pendidikan yang diharapkan. Namun, upaya ini sering kali menimbulkan fenomena gegar budaya yang menjadi tantangan terbesar bagi mahasiswa asing saat memasuki lingkungan pendidikan di Indonesia. Hal ini muncul karena mereka datang dari latar belakang budaya yang berbeda dan harus beradaptasi dengan budaya baru di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bentuk-bentuk gegar budaya dan strategi adaptasi sosial berdasarkan pengalaman mahasiswa asing yang menempuh pendidikan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan analisis sistematik literatur dengan metode PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) pada 10 artikel jurnal ilmiah yang mengkaji tentang gegar budaya dan strategi adaptasi mahasiswa asing di Indonesia dari tahun 2020 hingga 2024. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada lima bentuk gegar budaya, yaitu kesulitan dalam memahmi bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa daerah, sistem pembelajaran dan birokrasi kampus yang rumit, tantangan menghadapi kebiasaan buruk masyarakat lokal, adaptasi terhadap norma berpakian dan penyesuaian terhadap makanan Indonesia. Adapun stategi adaptasi sosial yang mereka lakukan adalah mempelajari bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa daerah, menjalin relasi sosial dengan mahasiswa lokal dengan mengikuti kebiasaan budaya setempat, aktif mengikuti kegiatan kampus dan masyarakat, serta memperdalam pengetahuan tentang budaya Indonesia dengan membaca berbagai literatur.

Authors:   Universidad de Deusto, Larrea Basterra Macarena , Badajoz Lopez Arkaitz
Published: January 2025

Las crisis energéticas pueden tener importantes repercusiones en diversos ámbitos como la sociedad, la economía, la seguridad nacional y el medio ambiente. La escasez de recursos energéticos puede provocar un aumento de los precios y de la competencia por estos, lo que puede afectar negativamente al crecimiento económico, a la competitividad de las empresas. Además, una crisis energética también puede provocar cortes en el suministro de electricidad o de otras fuentes de energía e interrupciones de los servicios esenciales, lo que puede impactar negativamente en la seguridad nacional y el bienestar de la población. Igualmente, el aumento de los precios de la energía, como el gas en este caso, puede repercutir en un mayor consumo de carbón con el correspondiente impacto en términos de emisiones de GEI. Este informe desarrolla un marco de análisis del impacto socioeconómico de una crisis energética basado en la revisión de la literatura sobre la materia. Dicho marco se aplica para profundizar en los efectos de la reciente crisis energética.
Suara dari Alam Kubur: Mati Jadi Hantu dan Kekerasan terhadap Perempuan di Kalimantan Selatan
Authors: Mursalin Mursalin
Published: January 2025

The incidence of violence against women in South Kalimantan has significantly increased, from 531 cases in 2023 to 655 cases in 2024. Amid these rising numbers, a cultural narrative surrounding urang mati jadi hantu (the dead becoming ghosts) often emerges in connection with the deaths of women victims of violence. This study explores the relationship between supernatural beliefs and violence against women in Banjar society, focusing on the use of mystical practices by victims as a form of self-defense, analyzed through the lens of the Learned Helplessness theory. Using Spradley’s ethnographic method, the research was conducted across six regions in South Kalimantan, involving informants familiar with the phenomenon. The findings reveal four patterns in the use of mystical practices: to protect against social stigma, respond to physical violence, manage verbal abuse, and prevent marital infidelity. The analysis, framed by the Learned Helplessness theory, suggests that reliance on mystical practices reflects victims' powerlessness and the inadequacies of formal protection systems. Rather than alleviating their situation, these practices exacerbate it by perpetuating social stigma, even after the victim’s death. The study concludes that more effective protection systems are needed, ones that balance cultural sensitivities with concrete legal and psychosocial interventions in addressing violence against women.

Systemic food embolism in a case of atrio-esophageal fistula after alcohol ablation of the Marshall vein: A case report
Authors: Ledinek Živa , Hojnik Marko
Published: January 2025

Purpose: Ablation procedures are common and standard therapeutic interventions for symptomatic patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Various complications have been observed after the procedure, with one of the most fatal being atrio-esophageal fistula (AEF). Although rare, AEF has very high morality. Diagnosis of AEF is challenging, especially in emergency settings, because of its unspecific clinical signs, such as atypical neurological signs after food or air embolism.
Case Presentation: A 46-year-old woman with a 10-year history of AF underwent ethanol infusion of the Marshall vein. Almost a month after the procedure, the patient collapsed and was brought to the emergency department with signs of right side hemiparesis. Occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery was identified with no ischemic change in brain parenchyma. During thrombectomy the patient had a sudden episode of hematemesis. After esophagogastroscopy, she was immediately transferred to the operating room for emergency surgery, but died on the operating table. Autopsy confirmed a clinical suspicion of AEF with massive gastrointestinal bleeding and systemic food embolism. We present this case to improve clinical recognition of the signs of AEF after alcohol ablation for AF. We also recommend active surveillance for patients who undergo similar procedures, including regular check-ups.
Pancreas transplantation: indications, surgical technique, and clinical significance
Authors: Hladnik Gaja , Flis Vojko
Published: January 2025

Pancreas transplantation (PT) is a vital therapeutic option for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM)|, particularly those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe metabolic complications. Over the past several decades, advancements in surgical techniques, organ preservation and procurement methods, and immunosuppression therapies have significantly enhanced post-transplant patient survival, graft survival, and quality of life. The primary goals of PT are to achieve effective and stable glycemic control, often leading to insulin independence, improve the patient's quality of life, and reduce secondary complications associated with DM. PT encompasses a variety of procedures, including PT alone from a living donor, whole PT, pancreas with kidney transplantation, and pancreatic islet cell transplantation. PT is most commonly performed in conjunction with kidney transplantation for selected patients with DM and ESRD. Over the past decade, unadjusted patient survival rates have exceeded 96% at 1-year post-transplant and > 80% at 5 years.
THINK TANKS COMO MECANISMO DE ASCENDÊNCIA DO COMPLEXO INDUSTRIAL-MILITAR E A NATUREZA DESTRUTIVA DO CAPITAL
Authors: Santos Neto Artur Bispo dos , Gouveia Virgínio Martins
Published: January 2025

O presente texto aborda a peculiaridade do complexo industrial-militar (CIM) e dos think tanks em sua articulação com a ossatura estatal, os quais intentam a atenuação da crise de expansão e acumulação do capital em tempos de crise estrutural. É fundamental entender a capilaridade da atuação dos think tanks (TT), relacionada ao complexo industrialmilitar, e sua interseção com o Estado, na expectativa de deslocar as contradições imanentes do sistema do capital. Oreferido percurso tem sua démarche na produção teórica de Karl Marx (2017), István Mészáros (2011) e Ernest Mandel (1982). Esses autores permitem desvelar o complexo industrial-militar, que visa assegurar os interesses das corporações transnacionais estadunidenses. Busca, ademais, ressaltar as características do CIM orientadas para a radicalização da natureza essencialmente perdulária e destrutiva do sistema do capital, assim como a necessidade da transcendência radical das estruturas políticas e socioeconômicas de controle da força de trabalho.

Published: January 2025

A gestão do saneamento deveria pautar ações na busca pela ampliação do atendimento, com especial atenção aos aspectos associados à manutenção do déficit persistente em saneamento. Estratégias de avaliação da prestação desses serviços são fundamentais ao planejamento para a redução do déficit. Assim, o artigo propõe o desenvolvimento de dois índices, por meio de métodos estatísticos, para avaliação comparativa do desempenho de prestadores dos serviços de água e esgoto em municípios brasileiros. O primeiro, composto de indicadores de sustentabilidade econômica e universalidade (SU); o segundo, de eficiência, efetividade e eficácia (EEE) na prestação desses serviços. Ambos revelam aspectos que impedem a ampliação do atendimento, com equidade e integralidade, demonstrando capacidade de orientar o aprimoramento na gestão desses serviços e fomentar políticas públicas mais inclusivas e equânimes.
Águas profundas: partilhas entre as literaturas da Guiana Francesa, do Suriname e do Brasil
Authors: Silva Natali Fabiana da Costa e
Published: January 2025

Este artigo tem por objetivo tecer uma reflexão a respeito das similaridades na produção literária contemporânea do extremo norte da América do Sul, mais especificamente, da Guiana Francesa, do Suriname e do Estado do Amapá, no Brasil. Parte-se da compreensão de que a permanência da imagem dos navios tumbeiros nas obras de literatura revela a conexão entre a região, suas semelhanças históricas, culturais e literárias independentemente da consciência dos autores sobre essa questão ou do desejo de promover um diálogo transnacional ou transfronteiriço. Para ilustrar essa discussão, serão analisados textos de três escritoras, a saber o conto “Bois d’ébène: des racines de l’oubli à la résistence éternelle” (2010) da guianense Marie-Goerge Thebia, o romance histórico Tutuba: the girl from the slaveship Leusden (2013), da surinamesa Cynthia McLeod e os poemas “África amiga” (2021) e “A saga dos negros” (2018) da poeta amapaense Negra Áurea. A poética da Relação, conforme formulada por Glissant (2021), e o feminismo decolonial de Vergès (2020) servirão de base teórica para a problematização proposta.

Published: January 2025

Relevance. The commissioning of a large number of new fields with limited amount of initial geological and physical data. To fill in the missing data, the selection of object-analogs is carried out. From the correct choice the selected development system will depend. But according to the established practice, the choice of analogues is carried out only by the expert method, based on the search for the geographically closest objects being developed. The effectiveness of the chosen development strategy depends on the selected analogues, which in their turn will minimize the risks of oil companies during the operation of assets. Aim. Development of an algorithm for qualitatively selection of the best object-analogue of the project field, taking into account the verification of the selected analogues. Methods. Evaluation and analysis of the necessary data to define the degree of similarity of reservoir development by the methods of mathematical statistics and machine learning. Results. The authors describe the problem in the selection of objecvt-analogues and the existing approaches to its solution. The paper introduces the prospects and possibilities of applying the accumulated experience in the developing of new assets and provides an algorithm for the selection of analogues based on a qualitative assessment of geological parameters and quantitative assessment of the degree of similarity of geological and physical characteristics of the object. The results obtained show that the method allows you to quickly find analogues from massive databases, and has a high degree of correlation with the variants of deposits agreed upon by the state expertise for the development of hydrocarbon fields. The authors proposed a way of applying the analogy method to predict the missing data.

Relevance. West-Magnitogorsk zone (Southern Urals) hold a lot of Early Carboniferous gabbroic and granitoid intrusions which associated with various mineralization types (Ti-Fe, Cu-Ni-PGE, Au), but information about REE mineralization is scarce. Contact hydrothermal-metasomatic processes rarely form the economic REE mineral deposits, but they can provide valuable information about the behaviors of rare earth elements. Aim. Mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of metasedimentary rocks from exocontact zone of the Khudolaz complex gabbro massif, study of rare earth minerals, determination of the formation conditions and sources of mineralizing fluids. Methods. Minerals were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy; the bulk composition of the rocks was determined by XRF and ICP-MS analytical techniques; vapor-liquid fluid inclusions in calcite were studied using microthermometry and Raman spectroscopy; the isotopic composition of carbon and oxygen was determined for metasedimentary silicate-carbonate metasomatites. Results and conclusions. In the Khudolaz complex gabbro massif exocontact zone, the Zilair Formation sedimentary rocks undergo recrystallization associated with hydrothermal-metasomatic processes and manifested as the formation of globular and granoblastic textures, stylolites, the formation of metacrystals of various rock-forming and accessory minerals, including rare earth minerals (synchisite-(Ce), CaCe(CO3)2F, and REE-rich clinozoisite, (Ca,REE)2Al3O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)). According to microthermometry of vapor-liquid fluid inclusions in calcite, the formation of REE-bearing minerals occurred at temperatures not lower than 150 °С. The sources of rare earth elements could be both the Zilair Formation sedimentary rocks and gabbro, as evidenced by the increase in REE concentrations and isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon in silicate-carbonate metasomatites (δ18OSMOW =13.80…15.98 ‰, δ13С = –5.64…–2.18).

Authors: Kaplina Valentina V.
Published: January 2025

Relevance. The need to shift the focus to renewable energy sources and increase the usage of the electric vehicles. This gives us the access to the areas where conventional combustion engines are forbidden. The goal is not only reducing CO2 emissions, but also it is necessary to increase the autonomy of vehicles and their independence from infrastructure. Aim. To calculate the power generated by photovoltaic panels based on the insolation of the area of Tomsk, Russia, to define the efficiency of electrically driven research boat powered by the solar energy. Subject. An electrically driven motorboat, built by a student team according to the "Project Activity" training program at Moscow Polytechnical University. Methodology. Calculation using empirically and experimental data and the data from the open source. Results. We have defined the method for calculating the running time of the electrically driven solar powered boat. We obtained as well an approximate amount of the electrical power generated by the solar panels for the area of Tomsk in summer. As a result, we calculated the boat running time for a summer day at a speed of 7 km/h. This method can be used for the calculation of the energy balance of infrastructure-independent vessels, as well as floating autonomous platforms for research, mining, and transportation at restricted areas.

Authors: Staroselets Dmitry A. , Smirnov Pavel V. , Trenkin Anatoly V.
Published: January 2025

Relevance. The need to bring undeveloped sediments of the Bazhenov horizon to development in areas that are well explored and have developed infrastructure. Objects. Anomalous section deposits of the Bazhenov Formation (J3-K1bn) of Western Siberia within the Uvat oil and gas bearing region. Aim. To ascertain the spread boundaries and structure parametrization of sediments of the Bazhenov formation anomalous section within the Uvat oil and gas bearing region through an integrated analysis of the core material study results, GIS and seismic data. Methods. Photomaterials of three core samples and the results of macro- and micro-description of rocks, measurement of natural radioactivity on the core by the spectrometric gamma-ray logging, palynological and microfaunistic studies. To clarify the structure of the Bazhenov formation, geophysical well surveys and 3D seismic data were used. The logging materials are represented by 154 wells and include the following methods: intrinsic polarisation, gamma ray logging, induction, neutron and lateral logs. Results. The authors have carried out the analysis of the Bazhenov formation sediments within the Uvat oil and gas bearing area. They carried out the lithological and petrographic analysis of the formation sediments in thin sections and determined the contribution of radioactive elements to the total natural radioactivity, according to which, in combination with GIS data, the Bazhenov formation was differentiated into rocks of mainly siliceous composition, siliceous-carbonate rocks, mudstones and sandy-silty mudstones. Biostratigraphic studies of samples of the Bazhenov formation were analyzed. The deposits of the Bazhenov formation are dated by the Titonian (Volga) Stage, part of which is represented by a mixed composition containing both the amorphous organic matter typical of the Bazhenov formation and the Valanginian or Valanginian-Goterivian palynoforms of good preservation. The authors clarified the boundary of the Bazhenov formation anomalous section in the Uvat oil and gas area: in comparison with the previously established contours of distribution, the eastern boundary shifted to the west, due to which the total area of the anomalous section reduced almost twofold; the contours of the north-eastern border of Bazhenov formation anomalous section were slightly revised and shifted to the south-west direction. The obtained data indicate that the Bazhenov formation anomalous section formation was caused by the introduction of Valanginian-Gotterivian deposits into the Tithonian-Berriasian deposits of protobagenite, which confirms the geomechanical model of the Bazhenov formation anomalous section formation.
Assessment of economic efficiency of hydrogen production using wind and solar energy
Authors: Marchenko Oleg V. , Solomin Sergei V.
Published: January 2025

Relevance. Currently, the issue of using hydrogen as a fuel replacing hydrocarbon raw materials is widely discussed. Plans for hydrogen energy development, announced in a number of countries, including Russia, imply a manifold increase in hydrogen production and consumption for energy purposes. It is still premature to draw clear conclusions about the possibilities of industrial-scale production of free hydrogen emanating from the depths of the Earth. Therefore, hydrogen is produced mainly by coal and gas conversion. However, the only environmentally friendly way to produce hydrogen is to extract it from water, which is much more abundant on Earth than hydrocarbons and which is more accessible. The most common way to obtain hydrogen from water is the decomposition of water under the influence of electric current in an electrolyzer. By using renewable energy sources, the hydrogen production will be environmentally friendly. Aim. To study the economic efficiency of hydrogen production by electrolysis based on electricity generated by wind power plants and photovoltaic converters, depending on the configuration of the power system and external conditions. Methods. The cost of produced hydrogen was determined depending on the technical and economic indicators of energy sources, wind speed and the arrival of solar radiation on the earth's surface. Calculations were carried out using the optimization mathematical model REM-2 (Renewable Energy Model). Results. The authors have constructed the graphs of electricity and hydrogen cost dependence on climatic conditions (average long-term wind speed and annual solar radiation). The authors carried out the analysis of the obtained results. It is shown that under good climatic conditions (V≥6 m/s, Q≥1400 kW×h/m2/year) and optimistic values of technical and economic indicators, the cost of hydrogen is 2.8–3.4 $/kg. In an autonomous power supply system, due to the use of “excess” electricity from renewable energy sources operating in stochastic mode, the costs of hydrogen production are minimal.
