Authors: Cherniaiev O , Anisimov O , Saik P , Lozynskyi V , Adamchuk A
Published: January 2024

Purpose. Explore the impact of raw material processing stages on qualitative and quantitative production indicators and devise technological schemes for processing mineral raw materials to produce crushed stone products. Methodology. The study employs theoretical analysis, information systematization, and generalization of key physical and mechanical properties of rocks suitable for construction materials. We investigate the nuances in utilizing various crushers based on productivity and input material size. Additionally, technological schemes for crushing and sorting plants are visualized using AutoCAD to obtain finished crushed stone products for concrete and asphalt mixtures. Findings. The study revealed that the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of finished products are influenced by various factors, including the granulometric composition of the raw material, type and number of impurities, presence of vises and needle-shaped grains, number of crushing stages, screening requirements at individual stages, and the type of crushing equipment. Efficiency of the complex is contingent upon the optimization and calculations of the technological line for each specific raw material type. Performance indicators of crushing equipment types can be calculated based on productivity. Common typical technological schemes have been identified, adaptable to specific production conditions. Originality. Optimal typical technological schemes for mineral raw material processing have been identified. These schemes are adaptable to variable productivity and quality requirements for finished products, particularly with a three-stage crushing scheme. Practical implications. Proposed technological schemes enable continuous and cost-effective crushing, reducing power supply delays due to clogging of the feeding hole. These schemes also enhance operating conditions for lining, contributing to the prolonged service life of crushers. The application of these schemes is particularly beneficial in the active quarries of Ukraine for the extraction and processing of raw materials to produce crushed stone products.

Published: January 2024

Purpose. Establishing dependencies connecting the system of indicators of the processing process with technical limitations, on the one hand, and the area of existence of the parameters of turning wear-resistant cast iron with a tool made of superhard polycrystalline materials, reflecting the technical and economic indicators of the process, on the other. The methods. In the work, the structural-static dependence of the probability of non-destruction of the tool (composite) is proposed, which is a component of the mathematical model for calculating the parameters of the turning process. Findings. The most characteristic failures of blades from the point of view of the operational reliability of cutting tools are extreme wear as a result of natural wear (gradual failure) and destruction (painting) of the cutting edge as a result of the manifestation of hidden defects of the tool material or exceeding permissible loads and loss of fatigue strength during wear). According to these failure criteria, the initial indicators of the durability and failure-freeness of cutting tools in the theory of cutting and the system of operation of cutting tools are the period of stability. The efficiency of high-strength cast iron turning is inextricably linked to the wear resistance and strength of the tool materials used. The prospect of expanding the use of polycrystalline materials, taking into account boron nitride (composites), emerges from the comparison of the main performance indicators of tool materials. The analysis and experience of using ultra-hard polycrystalline materials showed that with the same cutting depth, lower feed, and high cutting speed, composites provide the largest volume work. The originality. The paper establishes the dependence of the parameters of the cutting tool made of superhard materials on the main parameters of the turning process of cast iron. With the use of grapho-analytical analysis, the primary influence of cutting depth on the period of stability and reliability of trouble-free operation of cutting plates made of superhard materials is substantiated. Practical implementation. It was established that when turning cast iron, wear occurs on both the back and front surfaces of the blade. The reason for the wear of the front surface is the presence of a large amount of wear-resistant chromium carbides and the higher hardness of the chips coming off.

Theoretical and methodological fundamentals of studying franchising
Authors: Holubka D. S
Published: January 2024

Methods. The study is based on the application of the monographic method for the study of clusters and the identification of cause-and-effect relationships of their development in the study of franchising. General scientific methods are also applied, in particular: abstractions – to determine the essence of the concept of «franchising»; grouping – to substantiate the theories that form a special theoretical platform for franchising research as a model of business organization; comparative analysis – when establishing quantitative and qualitative differences in the process of highlighting research clusters in the historiography of franchising. Results. Research clusters in the historiography of franchising were analyzed, which made it possible to form a theoretical platform for its study, which includes a system of theories regarding development prerequisites (globalization, competition, «push-pull» factors, entrepreneurship, network structures) and features of franchising. It is proposed to divide the theories that substantiate the specifics of franchising into two groups according to the criterion of their reflection: attraction and use of resources (theories regarding relations (agency, signals, institutional, stakeholders), as well as decision-making (transaction costs, eclectic paradigm, entrepreneurial orientation). It was determined that the most widespread is the theory of agency, which explains the regularities of relations and the weakening of the parties’ disagreements, when one executing entity represents the relations of another customer through the delegation of powers in decision-making, execution of operations, financial planning, investment portfolio management, etc. Considering the basis of relationships in the emergence of franchising and their importance for business success, the importance of the provisions of the concept of trust is updated. It is demonstrated that it continues to develop in the system of theoretical provisions on partnership in franchising, taking into account the new challenges of global instability, which have increased after the Covid-19 pandemic, the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and the exacerbation of other international conflicts. Novelty. Based on the analysis of the historiography of franchising and the identification of the most common theories, there is proposed the classification of the theoretical fundamentals of studying franchising by groups that determine the prerequisites for its development, relations, decision-making, attraction and use of resources. Practical value. The conducted research can deepen the interdisciplinary approach and adapt the developed franchising methodology to Ukrainian characteristics, which will allow analyzing the development of franchising in Ukraine through the prism of theoretical justifications of its formation in international practice.

Authors: Lazarevska Todevska Elena , Piponski Marjan , Stefova Marina
Published: January 2024

The research focus of this work was development and validation of an efficient analytical method that can be used for separation and determination of related substances of bisoprolol in finished drug product using reversed-phase HPLC with UV-DAD. In a previous systematic study of various stationary phases and elution conditions it was found that several octadecylsilane phases can be successfully employed for separation of the critical pairs of bisoprolol and its related degradation products. Namely, method development led to conclusions that satisfactory resolution and peak shapes were obtained with gradient elution with water with 0.2% perchloric acid and acetonitrile and the reversed-phase columns: Hypersil 3 BDS C18 (100 x 4 mm, 3 m); Zorbax SB C18 (150 x 4.6 mm, 3.5 m); Acquity UPLC BEH C18 (50 x 2.1 mm, 1.7 m), and Xterra MS C18 (100 x 4.6 mm, 3.5 m). Since regular quality control includes the parameter related substances, which is of great importance for the overall quality of dosage forms, this study was oriented towards widening the available validated analytical methods for determination of this parameter. In this work, the results from the validation of the method for determination of related substances of bisoprolol using Zorbax SB C18 150 x 4.6 mm, 3.5 m, are presented. Validation parameters that were tested (linearity, accuracy, precision, selectivity) confirmed that the method is suitable for its intendance and it was used for characterization of the samples from a forced degradation study of bisoprolol tablets.

Published: January 2024

Method development for determination of polar basic compounds on ion-suppression reverse-phase liquid chromatography, requires appropriate selection of stationary phase and composition and pH value of the mobile phase. The addition of the organic solvent in aqueous buffers with defined pH value, results in shift of the pH value of the mobile phase, resulting in significant change in chromatographic retention and selectivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the variation of pH value of the mobile phase and percentage of the organic solvent, on the chromatographic separation of basic compound (octenidine dihydrochloride). The design of experiment was used for the optimization of the chromatographic conditions and selection of the most suitable mobile phase composition. The optimal composition of the mobile phase, providing satisfactory chromatographic performance based on ion-suppression reverse-phase chromatography, included 0.1M citric acid/0.2M sodium dihydrogen phosphate, pH =2.5, combined with 70% v/v organic solvent-acetonitrile. The suitability of the method was confirmed by satisfactory results for the system suitability parameters, specificity, linearity and precision.

Authors:   Prešovská univerzita v Prešove, Berinšterová Marianna , Bozogáňová Miroslava , Pethö Tatiana
Published: January 2024

Procrastination is a dysfunctional behaviour with an impact not only on academic performance but also on job satisfaction and performance. It mainly affects the adult population and is linked to the level of autonomy. Previous research has also shown gender differences in procrastination and the association of the trait of introversion with procrastinating behaviour in women. The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between procrastination and coping strategies among men and women, as well as to explore which coping strategies predict the level of procrastination. A total of 252 undergraduate students (161 females; Mage=21.05, SD=1. 850) participated in the study. Coping strategies were monitored through the Brief Cope, personality traits through the BFI 2. Data were processed by Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression. It was found that procrastination was associated with problem focus coping among women but not among men. Also, facets of coping styles - active coping, positive reframing, planning, emotional support and acceptance were negatively associated to the level of procrastination among women. Linear regression model also confirm the relationship of the coping strategy of planning and the lower level of extroversion as a predictors of procrastination among woman. The results suggest a different mechanism of procrastination in men and women. Coping strategies that are differently associated with procrastination in women than in men are susceptible to change. In the context of higher education, career preparation, career counseling, training of planning competence can act as a prevention against dysfunctional procrastination.

Authors:   Slovak Academy of Sciences, Fedáková Denisa
Published: January 2024

The quality of working life began to be discussed more in connection with the changes in working conditions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Working from home, limiting social interactions, online communication are just a few of the changes affecting work-related quality of life (WRQoL). In our study, we focused on selected socio-psychological variables and investigated their relationship with the perceived quality of working life. The research group consisted of 598 persons employed full time, with whom we carried out a cross-sectional data collection using an online questionnaire. Preliminary findings in the analyses of the WRQoLS methodology (Easton & Van Laar, 2018) and its subscales point to the dominant values of the scores of three subscales: working conditions, the interface between work and personal life, and overall subjective well-being. Examining the relationship between the WRQoL subscales and the selected variables led to the finding that all relationships were significant except for the relationship between control at work and work-life conflict. In the paper, we discuss the findings in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, taking into account the implications in the field of occupational psychology.

Published: January 2024

Perceived threats to life and diametrically different public attitudes towards preventive measures and the severity of COVID-19 have combined with limited access to health care (Devi, 2020; Xiong & Peng, 2020; Ghareeb et al., 2021; Elsaid et al., 2022), to increase discriminatory, verbal and physical attacks on health care providers by the public in a number of countries. The aim of this study was to pilot the prevalence and types of unwanted behaviour by patients and their relatives towards health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovakia. The population: 379 health professionals (79% female, 21% male) with a mean age of 44 years (SD = 11.12; min = 23, max = 76) from all regions of Slovakia. Method: frequency and thematic analysis of written responses to open-ended questions. Results: 135 (38%) respondents who work directly with patients felt stigmatised or discriminated against because of their work. 96 respondents (25%) had experienced violence because of their work in health care. Of the 340 health professionals, 59% had experienced conflict with family members of COVID-19 patients during the pandemic. Problems or conflicts with family members of non- COVID-19 patients during the pandemic were reported by 204 respondents (61%). The specific manifestations of the individual behaviour were described using a thematic analysis approach.
DIMENZIE NASTUPUJÚCEJ DOSPELOSTI A PRACOVNÁ ANGAŽOVANOSŤ MLADÝCH ĽUDÍ: PRESKÚMANIE ROLY MOTIVAČNEJ HARMÓNIE AKO POTENCIÁLNEJ SPROSTREDKUJÚCEJ PREMENNEJ

Published: January 2024

Pracovná angažovanosť je v centre výskumnej pozornosti už dlhšiu dobu. Za tento čas bolo nazhromaždených veľa cenných informácií ohľadom jej nomologickej siete. Avšak, iba malé množstvo pozornosti bolo venované vývinovým otázkam a súvisiacim motivačným aspektom u mladých, pracujúcich ľudí. Nastupujúca dospelosť predstavuje vývinové obdobie hľadania vlastnej identity a nových možností. Zároveň ide o čas, kedy mladí dospelí cítia veľký tlak a kedy sa stále necítia dospelo. V tomto období môžu ale nemusia prežívať súlad troch motivačných faktorov - hodnoty, kontroly a pravdy. V rámci prierezového výskumu, realizovaného na výskumnom súbore ľudí vo veku medzi 19 a 29 rokov (N=192), sme si kládli za cieľ preskúmať, či dimenzie nastupujúcej dospelosti predikujú pracovnú angažovanosť a či je tento vzťah sprostredkovaný motivačnou harmóniou. Výsledky naznačili, že je sú jednotlivé zložky pracovnej angažovanosti predikované pocitom zaseknutia sa na pomedzí adolescencie a dospelosti (-) a vnímaním daného obdobia ako času experimentácie a nových možností (+). Vzťah medzi experimentáciou a pracovnou angažovanosťou bol sprostredkovaný motivačnou harmóniou, čo je potenciálne dôležité zistenie, nakoľko nám môže pomôcť lepšie porozumieť dynamike motivácie mladých ľudí vstupujúcich do sveta práce. V rámci limitov možno spomenúť predovšetkým otázku kauzality, inkrementálnej validity, a psychometrických vlastností meracích nástrojov.

‘The summoning urgent thing’: The Bull Calves and the Drive to Experiment at Mid-Century
Authors: Piette Adam
Published: January 2024

This chapter considers Naomi Mitchison’s place within, and interest in, the history of her family, the Haldanes. In her work, Mitchison explores aspects of Scotland which were of crucial importance to her ancestors from the transitional phase triggered by the Knox Revolution, the Union, the Jacobite uprisings and the destruction of the clan system in 1745, to the post-1945 experiments in family, nation, class under feminist and communitarian reconfigurations. Using some of the material Mitchison produced for her wartime Mass-Observation diary, the chapter will explore how Mitchison’s sense of perplexities arising from unions of opposites, which might challenge various kinds of ‘Union’ at personal and national scales, are staged in the relationship between the characters of Kirstie and Black William in The Bull Calves (1947).
The Politics of Nostalgia: Ivan Goncharov’s Oblomov and Nikita Mikhalkov’s Film Adaptation
Authors: Mondry Henrietta
Published: January 2024

Goncharov’s novel Oblomov (1859) has a special status in Russian culture. Nikita Mikhalkov’s film adaptation, A Few Days from the life of I. I. Oblomov (1979) provides a sophisticated interpretation of Oblomov as a character who has his own life philosophy. Mikhalkov’s film adaptation follows the main features of the derevenshchiki (village-prose) narratives of the 1970s, with the concept of the veneration of rural lifestyle as opposed to the industriousness of the urban macrocosm. The film reimagines the past nostalgically rather than critically.

The paper seeks to contribute to the discussion of Hume's theory of personal identity, by examining a conflict regarding the vivacity of the self in his writings about sympathy. Although the mechanism of sympathy supposes that self is the liveliest perception of thought, when we consider sympathy through the perspective of the ‘desire of company’, we find that self lacks vivacity and, without alterity, it would be in reality nothing. Our objective is to present the conflict and show that, far from being a contradiction in Hume's thinking, it is consistent with how the philosopher conceives personal identity as a product of imagination, that is, a perception that, like any other, exists within the flow of perceptions.
The Retrait of Rhetoric
Authors: Davis Diane
Published: January 2024

This article argues that rhetorical theory will never dominate a quasi-originary and ontolg ising rhetoricity that nonetheless calls for it. This rhetoricity is not simply a game played ‘in the world’, to borrow Derrida's phrasing; it is—like writing, like metaphoricity, like the ‘yes-yes’ or (en)gage—one more name for ‘ the game of the world’. To get some traction on this undeclinable yet unmasterable rhetoricity, we’ll examine what Derrida calls ‘a danger of rhetoricism’ in de Man's work, a tendency to overestimate the authority of the linguistic, the verbal, the discursive. The goal is not so much to substantiate Derrida's suspicions about de Man's ‘rhetoricism’ as it is to get on the tail of a rhetorical force that is irreducible to it, an ineluctable affect ability or respons ivity that is bound up in the very structure of sur-vival.
Wandering Comparisons—Between Derrida and Zhuangzi
Authors: Castaño Héctor G.
Published: January 2024

This article explores the comparison between Derrida and Zhuangzi and their approaches to the question of metaphor and analogy, examining the deconstruction of essentialist and culturalist forms of philosophical comparativism. The author contends that the notion of ‘Western metaphysics’ relies on an implicit comparison between the West and its others, shaped not only by philosophical factors but also by historical, sociological and strategic considerations, as exemplified in Aristotle’s exclusion and subjection of metaphor. Derrida’s approach in ‘White Mythology’, with its ‘internal reading’ and ‘quasi-transcendental’ perspective, challenges the unity and identity of the conventional representation of philosophy as a Western achievement. However, the article also advocates for an ‘external’ and ‘quasi-empiricist’ viewpoint that recognises the erratic character of comparisons, resisting the appropriation of philosophical differences into general categories such as ‘Western’ or ‘Chinese philosophy’.
KOBİ’lerin Finansmana Erişimi: SAFE Anketi Bankalar İçin Ne Söylüyor?
Authors: EKEN Ahmet Adnan , YAZICI Didem
Published: January 2024

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’deki Küçük ve Orta Büyüklükteki İşletmeler’in (KOBİ) finansmana erişimlerinin yapısı Avrupa Komisyonu tarafından düzenlenen İşletmelerin Finansmana Erişim Anketi (Survey on the Access to Finance of Enterprises (SAFE)) Türkiye mikro verileri kullanılarak incelenmiş, bankaların KOBİ finansmanındaki rolü ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmada ayrıca anket verilerinden yararlanılarak "Banka Finansmanına Erişim Endeksi" oluşturularak, veri dönemi olan 2015-2021 yılları için KOBİ'lerin ölçek bazında banka finansmanına erişimleri ölçülmüştür. Sonuçlar 2018 sonrasında KOBİ’lerin banka finansmanına erişimde önemli iyileşme olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte mikro ölçekteki işletmelerin finansmana erişimde küçük ve orta ölçektekilere göre daha fazla zorlukla karşılaştığı gözlenmektedir. Bu durum KOBİ’lere yönelik politikaların ölçek bazında da farklılaştırılması gereğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Community service activities carried out at the Al-Muhajirin Islamic boarding school, Bekasi Regency are a form of concern for the environment in the Islamic boarding school area. The waste produced by the Al-Muhajirin Islamic boarding school has not yet been processed, but is immediately collected and thrown away. In the waste collection process, comfort problems often occur, especially from waste pollution which produces unpleasant odors. This is potentially due to a lack of concern/awareness among students regarding waste processing in the Islamic boarding school environment. To overcome this problem, service activities are carried out through training for students regarding environmental concern/awareness based on a waste management system. The training is carried out inside and outside the classroom, in the form of sorting the waste produced and then continuing with waste processing and its economic potential. Waste processing practices that have economic value are carried out to foster insight and develop an entrepreneurial spirit. This activity process also creates comfort and produces a cleaner environment because there is no accumulation of rubbish in the Islamic boarding school environment.a
Russian Nationalism under Putin's Church-State: Justifying Acts of Aggression Against Ukraine
Authors: Minhas Jadejit
Published: January 2024

This paper aims to analyze President Putin's nationalistic rhetoric and its role in legitimizing Russia's international aggression, particularly in the context of the "Russian World" narrative related to Ukraine. Drawing on data from the Levada Center, Kasianenko (2021), Goudimiak (2014), and primary sources of Putin's speeches, this study analyzes his discourse before and after aggressive actions, revealing themes such as "helping Ukrainian/brother nation" and "projecting blame." The intensified rhetoric during conflicts suggests a correlation between nationalism and aggression, with the Russian Orthodox Church influencing domestic approval. Understanding the interplay of religion and state rhetoric provides insights into Russia's authoritarian regime. As of February 2023, 75% of Russians supporting the war against Ukraine underscore the effectiveness of Putin's nationalism. The paper contributes to predicting Russia's behavior during heightened nationalistic pride and calls for further research into nationalistic claims' legitimacy and their impact on sovereignty and territorial disputes.

Published: January 2024

Como resultado de un proyecto destinado al manejo sostenible de la lepidopterofauna, se socializa la relación taxonómica de las mariposas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) registradas en el Parque Botánico de Camagüey, Cuba y se ofrecen datos sobre su presencia en diferentes épocas del año, con vistas a seleccionar aquellas más propicias para ser criadas en el mariposario, que se encuentra todavía en proceso de construcción. Durante los años 2021 y 2022, se realizaron muestreos mensuales en diferentes espacios del área de estudio, lo que permitió identificar 56 táxones infraespecíficos, pertenecientes a 48 géneros, 15 subfamilias y cinco familias (Papilionidae, Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae y Hesperiidae). El endemismo a nivel específico alcanzó el 3.57 % y en el ámbito subespecífico llegó a ser del 8.92 %, por lo que el 12.5 % de los táxones tienen distribución limitada al territorio nacional. Se comprobó que 35 de las especies/subespecies reportadas, están presentes tanto en los meses de lluvia como en los de sequía (índice de similitud de Jaccard del 62.5 % entre ambas épocas), lo que se identifica como una potencialidad para fomentar la crianza de las mismas. De acuerdo al estudio realizado, se ofrecen, en un primer intento, argumentos sobre la selección de las especies para la cría.
The retropharyngeal reduction plate for atlantoaxial dislocation: a finite element analysis

Published: January 2024

Objective: To investigate the biomechanical properties of the retropharyngeal reduction plate by comparing the traditional posterior pedicle screw-rod fixation by finite element analysis.

Methods: Two three-dimensional finite element digital models of the retropharyngeal reduction plate and posterior pedicle screw-rod fixation were constructed and validated based on the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) data from C1 to C4. The biomechanical finite element analysis values of two internal fixations were measured and calculated under different conditions, including flexion, extension, bending, and rotation.

Results: In addition to the backward extension, there was no significant difference in the maximum von Mises stress between the retropharyngeal reduction plate and posterior pedicle screw fixation under other movement conditions. The retropharyngeal reduction plate has a more uniform distribution under different conditions, such as flexion, extension, bending, and rotation. The stress tolerance of the two internal fixations was basically consistent in flexion, extension, left bending, and right bending.

Conclusion: The retropharyngeal reduction plate has a relatively good biomechanical stability without obvious stress concentration under different movement conditions. It shows potential as a fixation option for the treatment of atlantoaxial dislocation.
