Published: January 2025

The paper analyzes the current state of the problem of crumpling welded joints of rails on the Russian railway network. In order to radically solve the problem of improving the quality of the joint, reducing structural heterogeneity and creating uniformity in hardness along the entire length of welded rails, comprehensive research has been carried out and the fundamental principles of manufacturing technology for welded rail lashes by continuous sequential volumetric induction heating with compressed air cooling have been developed. It is shown that compressed air with controlled humidity can be used to create a controlled cooling rate system. The development of the fundamental principles for the manufacture of welded rail lashes during heat treatment along the entire length is an urgent scientific and practical task. The description of modern air-cooled induction equipment used both in Russia and in other countries is presented. The equipment used in the Russian Federation is studied in detail – an induction heating installation (UIN) and a sprayer used in it for one-way supply of compressed air. The induction equipment for differentiated heat treatment of welded joints of rails has been improved with the introduction of a modified compressed air cooling spray. The in-troduction of a two-way joint cooling system on an upgraded installation ensures an increase in hardness in the joint on both sides and the formation of a favorable diagram of internal residual stresses (compressing in the head and sole and compensating stretching in the neck), which will positively affect the fatigue strength of the rail in the area of the weld-ed joint. Such a stress diagram best corresponds to the loading of the joint in operation. To confirm this assumption, the installation was tested and the data obtained were analyzed after local heat treatment with one-sided and two-sided cooling schemes. Together with the research laboratory of PJSC “CHMK”, Chelyabinsk, a modernized induction installation of the UIN type was tested at the Rail Welding Enterprise No. 13 in Chelyabinsk-001-100/RT-C with a two-way cooling circuit.

Authors: NOSENKO Viktor , NECHYPORENKO Dmytro
Published: January 2025

Summary. The current situation in Ukraine has led to new geotechnical challenges, the solution of which is aimed at protecting critical infrastructure facilities from the effects of explosive shock waves. Protective structures that are buried in the soil environment are built to protect critical infrastructure facilities. A necessary condition to ensure their safe operation is the assessment of the stress-strain state of the system “soil environment-shelter building”. It is important to choose an adequate phenomenological model of the behavior of the materials of the protective structure and the soil environment, which describes the work of materials under the impulse impacts. The paper analyses four methods of constructing numerical models for calculating the impact of impulse loads, namely:

Lagrange mesh.
Euler's mesh.
Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE).
Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH).

Each of the methods has its advantages and disadvantages. The Lagrangian mesh enables to easily track the boundary between materials of different structures, both before and after the calculation, and it does not require much computational time. However, this method is not practical in cases of significant model deformations with rapid changes in time.
The Euler and Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler methods allow to model the problems with a large distortion of the model, such as an underground or underwater explosion. Their disadvantage is the size of the computational domain and the considerable labour intensity for the model setup.
Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics is a meshless Lagrangian method. The advantage of this method is the ability to work with large model deformations. The disadvantage is labour intensity and calculation time.
All of these methods of building a numerical model are available in the LS-Dyna software package. During the analysis of calculations in LS-Dyna, we found that it is advisable to use the Lagrange mesh to create a model of a structure made of reinforced concrete or steel due to their high stiffness. The Euler and ALE methods are preferable for soil, they enable a strong change in the geometry of the model under the influence of the blast. Different methods are combined to achieve adequate model performance and to obtain correct results that will closely match the actual behavior of structures, facilities and materials under impulse loads.
Outer Solar System Spacecraft Without Drag-Free Control to Probe the µHz Gravitational Wave Frontier
Authors: McQuinn Matthew , McGrath Casey
Published: January 2025

The microhertz frequency band of gravitational waves probes the merger of supermassive black holes as well as many other gravitational wave phenomena. However, space-interferometry methods that use test masses would require substantial development of test-mass isolation systems to detect anticipated astrophysical events. We propose an approach that avoids on-board inertial test masses by situating spacecraft in the low-acceleration environment of the outer Solar System. We show that for Earth-spacecraft and inter-spacecraft distances of \(\gtrsim 10\)AU, the accelerations on the spacecraft would be sufficiently small to potentially achieve gravitational wave sensitivities determined by stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds. We further argue, for arm lengths of \(10 - 30\)AU and \(\sim 10\)Watt transmissions, that stable phase locks could be achieved with 20 cm mirrors or \(5\) m radio dishes, although for the laser case this would require lower laser frequency noise relative to the LISA lasers. We discuss designs that send both laser beams and radio waves between the spacecraft, finding that despite the \(\sim 10^{4} \times\) longer wavelengths, even a design with radio transmissions could reach stochastic background-limited sensitivities at \(\lesssim {0.3 \times 10^{- 4}}\)Hz. Operating in the radio significantly reduces many spacecraft design tolerances. Our baseline concept requires two arms to do interferometry. However, if one spacecraft carries a clock with Allan deviations at \(10^{4}\) seconds of \(10^{- 17}\), a comparable sensitivity could be achieved with a single arm. Finally, we discuss the feasibility of achieving similar gravitational wave sensitivities in a ‘Doppler tracking’ configuration where the single arm is anchored to Earth.

Published: January 2025

Reproductive health challenges persist among women in Nepal's Terai districts, posing a considerable public health burden. The aim is to investigate the prevalence and determinants of reproductive health issues, including Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), cervical lesions, cervical cancer, and their associated risk factors. This research utilizes a mixed-methods strategy to thoroughly investigate reproductive health issues among women of reproductive age in specific Terai districts of Nepal. The quantitative aspect of the study encompasses a cross-sectional survey administered to 570 women, employing Slovin's formula for sample size determination and pretested semi-structured questionnaires. Through the saturation theory, along with in-depth exploration and targeted analysis, 40 participants were interviewed, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the investigated phenomenon. The obtained data was analyzed in SPSS with the level of significance <0.005 level. The results indicate a high prevalence of uterine prolapse (42.5%) and cervical cancer (57.5%) within the surveyed population. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease POP, cervical lesions, and cervical cancer are notably linked to various factors including age, ethnicity, economic status, health-seeking behavior, age at first childbirth, nutritional status, and workload (p<0.005). Qualitative analysis identified underlying factors contributing to these reproductive health challenges and insights into health-seeking behavior and treatment practices. These findings highlight the critical need for tailored interventions and healthcare initiatives to tackle the prevalent reproductive health issues. Enhanced awareness of available reproductive health services is crucial for women's well-being. This study offers valuable insights into the complex landscape of reproductive health problems in Nepal's Terai region, laying the groundwork for evidence-based interventions and policy development aimed at enhancing the reproductive health outcomes for women in this demographic.

Published: January 2025

INTRODUCTION: L-type voltage-gated calcium channels on dopaminergic neurons can regulate mental status and motor control. The potential of L-type calcium channel blockers (CCBs) to induce extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) and delirium is scantily studied.

METHODOLOGY: A systematic review was conducted from June 2024 to August 2024 using Medline and Scopus on the published cases of EPS, delirium, and psychosis with CCBs.

RESULTS: Out of 6908 articles screened, 20 studies involving 23 patients were selected. Fourteen cases of EPS (8 females) and nine cases of delirium or psychosis (6 males) were noticed. Nearly 80% of cases were reported in patients 60 years and above. EPS appeared after 1 day to 8.5 years of CCB administration and Parkinsonism was the commonest phenotype occurring after a median (Q1-Q3) time of 90 (60-360) days. The dihydropyridine (DHPs) class, particularly amlodipine, was implicated in the majority (n=8, 57.1%). Delirium was reported after a few hours to 7 days and psychosis was the commonest manifestation. Nifedipine (n=3), and diltiazem (n=4) were the common culprits. Nearly all patients improved after drug discontinuation, with a median recovery time of 14 days for EPS and 2 days for delirium.

CONCLUSION: L-type CCBs can induce EPS and delirium manifesting largely as psychosis. Older females might be the common victims of EPS and older males might be prone to delirium. Most cases have been associated with the dihydropyridine class and have been reversible. Prospective and well-controlled studies are needed to annotate the possible role of L-type CCBs in movement and mood disorders.
A Simple Board Game for Modeling the System Dynamics of Deforestation
Authors: Daubenfeld Thorsten
Published: January 2025

This article explores the dynamics of deforestation and reforestation through a simplified board game. Motivated by the urgent need to understand the impact of deforestation on biodiversity and climate, the study employs the Lotka-Volterra equations as a theoretical foundation to guide the game’s mechanics. Two variants of the game were tested, revealing patterns that closely resemble predicted outcomes of rapid forest decline as well as forest recovery and oscillations between deforestation and recovery. While the initial findings are promising, indicating that the game successfully illustrates these ecological dynamics, further investigation is needed to statistically validate the observations. The author encourages collaboration and data sharing among players to build a robust dataset for future analysis. Ultimately, the game aims to enhance awareness of forest conservation issues and contribute to educational strategies that emphasize the importance of sustainable forestry practices.

La herbívora es un proceso natural en el que los animales consumen tejidos vegetales, ante esta situación las plantas han desarrollado diferentes estrategias adaptativas para disminuir el consumo de sus tejidos. Por ejemplo, la formación de espinas y la producción de compuestos químicos son mecanismos de defensa que han desarrollado las plantas para provocar lesiones, efectos adversos a los herbívoros como daños en su sistema digestivo o la muerte. Existe un grupo de plantas que ha evolucionado para acumular elementos tóxicos como los metales pesados de su entorno, algunos de los cuales no tienen ninguna función metabólica en las plantas, sin embargo, los acumulan en sus diferentes tejidos como la raíz, tallo y hojas, lo que ha sido de utilidad para disminuir el ataque de los herbívoros. El tejido que acumula una mayor concentración de metales pesados son las hojas, siendo el órgano vegetal más atacado por los herbívoros. Por lo que la acumulación de metales pesados en plantas ha sido una estrategia de defensa viable por el reducido gasto energético que se necesita para llevar estos elementos a las hojas de las plantas.

The village of Talang Balai Baru 1, located in the sub-district of Tanjung Raja in the Ogan Ilir Regency, is characterized by a type of land known as lowland, locally called “lebak” land, which is characterized by low soil fertility. This factor, among others, contributes to a decrease in crop productivity. To address this challenge, it is imperative to employ organic fertilizer in optimal amounts. Specifically, the harvested straw is primarily incinerated, with a limited portion being utilized as chicken manure fertilizer. Despite the abundance of local resources like chicken manure and straw, they are underutilized. Therefore, there is a need to harness these resources for the production of organic fertilizers enriched with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB). This enriched organic fertilizer is expected to provide essential nutrients to plants and improve soil fertility, thereby boosting soil and crop productivity. The project, conducted from July 29, 2024, to August 27, 2024. The method employed in this study is counseling and socialization regarding the production of BPF-enriched organic fertilizer and its subsequent application by partner farmers. The results of this counseling and socialization demonstrate the high level of support among the residents of Talang Balai Baru 1 Village for this program, as evidenced by their ability to utilize BPF-enriched organic fertilizer on their respective fields. This will contribute to an enhancement in soil and plant productivity.

The study of the lexical layer of historical works and poems in the linguistic aspect plays an important role in determining the history of the formation and development of a language. Taking into account this significance, the work of Abulgazy Bahadur Khan “Shezhire-i terakime”, written in the 17th century, was considered as the object of study. During the study, Mongolian elements were analyzed from a comparative historical point of view, semantic commonalities and differences between the Turkic and Mongolian languages were identified. In addition to Turkic and Mongolian elements, Arabic and Persian words are found in its lexical layer. In historical linguistics, scientific views related to the historical formation and the penetration of Mongolisms into the Turkic languages are still being considered at a hypothetical level. The research article also conducts a lexical-semantic analysis of the words shyrai, daruga, kurultai, sheshen in the work “Shezhire-i terakime”. The usage of the analyzed words in a figurative or literal sense, phonetic, morphological features of the Turkic and Mongolian languages are studied. In order to increase the scientific significance of the article, examples from aphorisms, proverbs and sayings in the Turkic and Mongolian languages are given. In determining the etymology of Mongolian elements, scientific and theoretical conclusions and opinions of Altaic scientists and Turkologists are analyzed. Semantic, etymological analysis of linguistic units found in the work “Shezhire-i Terakime” serves as the basis for determining the historical continuity between the written Chagatai language and the Kazakh language.

Civil defendant representation in criminal proceedings
Authors: Kolomoitsev M. М.
Published: January 2025

The article determines that a representative of a civil defendant may be involved in criminal proceedings after a civil claim is filed, and if it is established that the defendant is proper, it becomes possible to exercise the right of a civil defendant to representation.
At the same time, a number of legislative acts provide for the circumstances when civil liability is borne by another person, and this should be taken into account at the stage of assessment of a civil claim, and the study establishes that, as a general rule, the status of a civil defendant in criminal proceedings is acquired by an individual or legal entity which, by virtue of law, bears civil liability and which should be taken into account at the stage of assessment of a civil claim.
The main areas of activity of a civil defendant’s representative are summarised as follows: 1) identifying other co-defendants if the damage was caused by the actions of more than one person; 2) checking whether the representative of the civil plaintiff has sufficient grounds to represent the interests of the state, a minor, incapacitated or partially incapacitated victim; 3) filing an objection to the claim, provided that there are sufficient grounds and the defendant is not properly identified; 4) recognising the claim in whole or in part based on a thorough study and analysis of the text of the civil claim; 5) assessing the nature and amount of claims, including material claims, set out in the claim, determining their objectivity and relevance to the circumstances of the case, the reliability and sufficiency of evidence provided in support of them in order to formulate an appropriate legal position; 6) finding out whether any person has previously compensated for the damage caused; 7) verifying the validity of actions taken by the prosecution to secure the claim, etc. Given these areas of activity of the civil defendant's representative, the author concludes that in general, this participant in criminal proceedings performs the following functions: informational, supportive and protective. Prospects for further research are to develop proposals for improving current legislation in terms of balancing the procedural statuses of a civil plaintiff and a civil defendant in criminal proceedings.

Authors: Trofimets S. A.
Published: January 2025

The scientific article examines the peculiarities of classification (botanical, geographical, commodity, international); requirements for the quality of tobacco raw materials and their safety for human health and life, as well as requirements for packaging and labelling in order to improve the examination of tobacco raw materials. Methodological recommendations for determining the authenticity of tobacco raw materials have been developed, which can be used in practical work by customs officers when conducting an examination of goods of group 24 of the Ukrainian Classifier of Goods for Foreign Economic Activity. The identification tasks of the commodity expertise of tobacco raw materials (identification of the type of tobacco, establishment of the grade, quality control, determination of the degree of processing, analysis of aroma and taste) are defined. Modern methods of analysis are presented, in particular, instrumental methods used to establish quality and safety indicators (visual inspection, microscopic analysis, chemical analysis, physicochemical methods, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, spectral analysis). These methods allow to examine tobacco raw materials at the molecular, chemical and morphological levels to obtain objective information about its quality, safety and other characteristics that may be important in litigation. The article provides a systematisation of information on the characteristic defects of tobacco raw materials, namely: mould, rot, drying, cracking, deformation (these defects may arise as a result of various factors, such as climatic conditions, methods of growing, storing and processing of tobacco raw materials). Defects that are characteristic of low-quality products with signs of spoilage: impurities and contamination, mould, rot, drying out, cracking. The mechanism for conducting a forensic examination of tobacco raw materials with the aim of objective assessment of quality, safety and other characteristics is described.

Authors: Górka Jacek , Jankowska Dagmara , Stano Sebastian
Published: January 2025

The research work aimed to determine the effect of manual laser beam welding process parameters on the properties of butt joints made of 1.8 mm thick steel DOCOL 1200M. The test joints were subjected to non-destructive (visual and penetrant) tests as well as destructive tests including static tensile tests, bend tests, hardness measurements as well as macro and microscopic metallographic tests. The optimisation of welding process parameters enabled the obtainment of joints satisfying both visual and strength-related quality requirements. The tests revealed that the use of the so-called continuous-wave laser beam helped minimise the number of welding imperfections. As a result of the laser beam welding process, the hardness in the heat affected zone (HAZ) decreased to approximately 260 HV, if compared to that of 360 HV in the base material and 370 HV in the weld.
ПРОФЕСІЙНЕ ВИГОРАННЯ ВІЙСЬКОВОСЛУЖБОВЦІВ: ЗАКОРДОННИЙ ДОСВІД
Authors: МИКОЛАЙЧУК Олена
Published: January 2025

За останнє десятиліття питання професійного вигорання серед військовослужбовців набуло надзвичайної актуальності. Інтенсивні бойові дії, часті ротації, постійна загроза життю, емоційні навантаження та нестабільні умови несення служби створюють сприятливе підґрунтя для розвитку синдрому вигорання у представників силових структур. Підвищені вимоги до професійної майстерності, лідерських якостей та психологічної стійкості додатково посилюють ці ризики. Метою статті є дослідження динаміки та аналіз особливостей професійного вигорання особового складу армій країн-партнерів протягом останніх десяти років задля створення ефективних стратегій профілактики та корекції цього синдрому, що дозволить підвищити боєздатність та професійну ефективність військовослужбовців Збройних Сил України. Методологія дослідження. Використовуючи методи наукового пізнання (синтез, аналіз, узагальнення) виявлено актуальність поточного дослідження, яка вбачається у важливості діагностування та необхідності імплементації інших підходів, методів та інструментів дослідження професійного вигорання військовослужбовців, які є надійними та валідними, з огляду на закордонний досвід. Наукова новизна. Виокремлено дефініції та фактори, що впливають на розвиток вигорання у військовослужбовців Збройних Сил України та країн-партнерів, проаналізовано поширеність та рівні професійного вигорання у визначених категорій, визначено основні симптоми, які здійснюють найбільший негативний вплив на виконання ними службового обов’язку та інструменти, якими користуються для виявлення даного синдрому. Висновки. Встановлено, що професійне вигорання військовослужбовців, як стан крайнього фізичного та психічного виснаження, втрати інтересу та позитивних емоцій щодо роботи, зниження ефективності та продуктивності, є недостатньо вивченим, але надзвичайно поширеним явищем. Вивчення закордонного досвіду щодо дефініції, основних симптомів та огляду валідного інструментарію означеної проблематики є необхідним в умовах сьогодення задля вироблення адаптованих інтервенцій та превентивних стратегій для поліпшення психологічного клімату та ефективного подолання вигорання у Збройних Силах України.

Мета статті полягає дослідженні готовності бакалаврів з ІТ України до навчання з використанням хмарних технологій з різних ракурсів: особистісного, технічного, соціального, безпекового та забезпеченості обладнанням та інфраструктурою. Розроблені критерії оцінки описують готовость студентів до впровадження хмарних сервісів в освітній процес з найважливіших ракурсів і дозволяють сформувати всебічну характеристику. Методологія дослідження полягала в анкетуванні 69 майбутніх бакалаврів з ІТ. Анкета складалась з питань, що дали змогу описати готовність студентів до використання хмарних сервісів в процесі навчання за особистісним, технічним, безпековим, соціальним критеріями, а також наявності технічного обладнання та потрібної інфраструктури. Зібрані дані були вивчені за допомогою кількісного аналізу з використанням статистичних методів. Наукова новизна. Це дослідження висвітлює чинники, що сприяють та заважають використанню хмарних сервісів в процесі навчання в закладах вищої освіти України. Наукова новизна в полягає в тому, що, в ході аналізу результатів анкетування студентів, було висвітлено основні чинники, які можуть негативно впливати на процес впровадження хмарних сервісів в професійну підготовку майбутніх бакалаврів з інформаційних технологій. Завдяки цьому дослідженню було отримано інформацію, яка має бути використана при формуванні навчальних планів, а саме: ставлення студентів до різних видів хмарних сервісів, шляхів покращення освітнього процесу, самооцінка їх знань та навичок з питань використання хмарних сервісів. Висновки. В результаті дослідження було виявлено, що рівень готовності бакалаврів з ІТ до використання хмарних сервісів в процесі навчання знаходиться на доволі високому рівні майже по всім критеріям – особистісному, технічному та технічного забезпечення, але соціальна та безпекова сторони питання знаходяться на дещо нижчому рівні. Для кожного з розглянутих аспектів, на основі аналізу результатів дослідження було надано рекомендації по покращенню готовності студентів до навчання в онлайн-режимі.
