LOW-FREQUENCY ELECTROMECHANICAL VIBRATION CONVERTER BASED ON LEVITATION EFFECT
Authors: Shilin A. N. , Mustafa M. N. , Kuznetsova N. S.
Published: December 2021

At present, one of the urgent problems in the energy and industry is to improve the reliability of the operation of various equipment. An effective method for increasing the reliability of equipment is diagnosing the state of machines and predicting their performance. Vibration control methods are widely used to diagnose rotary rotating machines. By the nature of the vibration process of the machine, it is possible to determine the degree of wear and, accordingly, the technical condition of the machines. In measuring technology for diagnostics of low-speed equipment with rotation frequencies of a unit of Hz, for example, hydroelectric generators of hydroelectric power plants, inertial electromechanical converters are used. The latest developments of such converters use an electromagnetic suspension with parametric feedback, which allows you to control the rigidity of the oscillatory system. However, for centering the moving part in electromechanical converters, flexible guides are used, which are sources of dry friction, which complicates the simulation of measurement processes and limits the sensitivity threshold to a minimum. In addition, flexible guides limit the frequency range of the converters. Currently, the most promising direction for solving this problem is the levitation effect, which allows you to completely exclude mechanical contact and, accordingly, reduce the sensitivity threshold of the transducer. From the analysis of literary sources, it follows that there are relatively few publications in this area. The proposed article provides an analysis of existing converters, on the basis of which a converter with improved characteristics, a measuring converter, is proposed. The proposed electromechanical converter has improved metrological characteristics and therefore can control and diagnose equipment in various fields of human activity. This problem is especially relevant in the hydropower industry.
CREEPING SURFACE LONGITUDINAL ACOUSTIC WAVE: MAIN PROPERTIES AND APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES
Authors: Shevaldykin V. G.
Published: December 2021

Creeping ultrasonic waves have long been successfully used for flaw detection of near-surface and near-bottom zones of metal products. However, due to the fact that the creeping wave generates a lateral transverse wave directed into the metal volume at the third critical angle, it is also possible to test internal defects in principle. At known velocities of propagation of longitudinal and transverse waves in the metal, the third critical angle is easily calculated. Therefore, the time of propagation of the ultrasonic signal along any trajectory between points on the surface and in the volume of the metal can be calculated. Usually, creeping waves are used to test products of plane-parallel shape. There are no cases of their application on curved surfaces in the literature. It is possible that the creeping wave can also propagate over a concave surface. The aim of the article is to test experimentally new ways of using creeping waves. The propagation trajectories of the creeping and lateral transverse waves were studied on a steel plate. The time of passage of the ultrasonic signal along such trajectories of different lengths was measured, and the measurement results were compared with the calculated time values. The measured and calculated values coincided with accuracy sufficient for the coherent accumulation of echo signals that passed through the metal part of the path by the creeping wave and another part of the path by the lateral transverse wave.The propagation of the creeping wave over a concave surface was studied on a steel sample with cylindrical faces of different radii. As a result, it turned out that on a concave surface, the creeping wave propagates at the same speed of longitudinal waves as on a flat surface, but it decays much more strongly with distance. Studies have shown that creeping waves can be used in ultrasonic tomography, where a preliminary calculation of the propagation trajectories of ultrasonic signals is required. The propagation of creeping waves over concave surfaces extends the capabilities of the TOFD method to the area of intube testing

Authors: CİVEK Funda , ÖZKAHVECİ Esra
Published: December 2021

“İnsan” geçmişten günümüze doğru düşünüldüğünde hep odak noktası olarak görülmektedir. Fakat bu durum önem derecesine göre farklılaşmaktadır. Bu noktada insan kaynakları yönetimi ve Weberyan Bürokrasi Kuramı benzerlik göstermekte olup, her ikisi de “insan” olgusunu merkeze oturtmuştur. Özellikle hem insan kaynakları yönetiminde hem de Weberyan Bürokrasi de verimlilik önem taşımaktadır. Verimlilik çatısı altında insan kaynakları yönetimi ilkeleri içerisinde Weberyan Bürokrasi Kuramı ile ortak kümelerde birleşim sağlanmaktadır. İKY’nin belirgin olan ilkelerinden özellikle liyakat veya yeterlilik ilkesi örnek olarak gösterilebilir. Klasik yönetim anlayışı içinde yer alan “bürokrasi kuramı” 1900’lü yılların başında Max Weber tarafından geliştirilmiştir. Max Weber’in örgüt kültürü ile ilgili çalışmalara katkısı bürokrasi kavramıyla olmuştur. Bürokrasi kavramı Weber’den sonra birçok yazar ve bilim adamı tarafından ele alınarak ayrıntılı bir biçimde incelenmiş ve geliştirilmiştir. Weber ortaya koyduğu ilkeler ile ideal örgüt yapısının oluşturulabileceğini savunmuştur. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı, Weber’in Klasik Dönem’in temelini oluşturan Bürokrasi Kuramı‘nın ve İKY’nin kavramsal çerçevesi incelenerek bugüne neler yansıttığı ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın sonucunda ise, ilgili çalışmalar ışığında ulusal ve uluslararası literatür kapsamlı bir şekilde incelenerek, İKY çerçevesinde Weber Bürokrasi Kuramı’na ulusal literatürde teorik bir ayna tutulmuştur.

Time Evolution of the Position Operators in a Bilayer Graphene
Authors: Mahan Munera W. , Majid M.J.
Published: December 2021

In this work, the researchers mainly focus on the trembling motion which is known as Zitterbewegung in a bilayer grapheme. This is effectively achieved by means of the long-wave approximation. That is, the Heisenberg representation is ultimately employed in order to derive the analytical expression concerning the expectation value related to the position operator along the longitudinal and transversal orientation, which describes the motion concerning the electronic wave packet inside the bilayer graphene. Parameters’ numbers are considered to explicate the packet of Gaussian wave, including the polarization of initial pseudo-spin as well as the wave number of the initial carrier number along with the localized wave packet’s width along the longitudinal as well as transversal orientation. Consequently, the researchers show that the obvious oscillation in position operator can be effectively controlled not only by what is known as the initial parameters concerning the wave packet. Rather, it can mainly be controlled by selecting the localized quantum state’s components. Furthermore, the interference’s analysis between the conduction as well as valence bands concerning quantum states is really emphasized as the ability of what can be described as the transient’s emergence, or in a sense, aperiodic temporal oscillations concerning the average value of position operator in the bilayer graphene.

Workplace Assertiveness of Filipino Hospital Staff Nurses: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Oducado Ryan Michael F. , Montaño Hilda Clavel
Published: December 2021

Background: Several studies have demonstrated the significance of assertiveness in the nursing profession. However, there is a lacuna in the literature regarding the level of workplace assertiveness of Filipino nurses.Purpose: This study determined the workplace assertiveness towards nursing colleagues, nursing management personnel, medical doctors, and other members of the health team among hospital staff nurses.Methods: The data in this cross-sectional study were collected from randomly selected staff nurses (n=223) involving two tertiary hospitals in the Philippines using the Workplace Assertive Behavior Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and tests for differences were used to analyze the data.Results: Results showed that staff nurses had moderate workplace assertiveness. They were less assertive towards the nursing management personnel, and were less likely to provide constructive criticisms and say no to requests. Assertiveness significantly varied based on employment status (p=.001), age (p=.046), years of nursing work experience (p=.037), and years in the present organization (p=.022). A sense of responsibility to patients was the main facilitator while reprimand and fear of repercussions from the nursing management personnel were the major barriers to assertive behaviors.Conclusion: Personal and work environmental factors can inhibit or support assertiveness. This study highlighted some gaps in Filipino staff nurses’ assertiveness at work. Nursing management plays a pivotal role in nurses’ assertiveness. Efforts should be made to address the barriers and improve the assertiveness of staff nurses.

Artykuł przedstawia Wiek teorii (monografię i antologię) jako wyjątkową syntezę polskiego literaturoznawstwa. Autor wskazuje, że książka pod redakcją naukową Danuty Ulickiej jest też osiągnięciem naukowym w kontekście badań humanistycznych i społecznych. Zespół literaturoznawców bowiem nie tylko porządkuje wiedzę z teorii ostatniego stulecia. Proponuje też pewną koncepcją konstruowania wiedzy. Chodzi o unikatową formułę przedstawienia teorii w monografii i w dwutomowej antologii, przy czym kolejne części syntezy są wobec siebie komplementarne. Co ciekawe, monografia i antologia powstały poprzez odwołanie do dwu różnych paradygmatów poznawczych. Monografia jest bliżej nauki pojmowanej pozytywistycznie, antologia ufundowana została na relatywistycznej koncepcji wiedzy.

Social support is essential for mental and physical health and plays an important role in reducing the risk of returning to prison. The main sources of prisoners’ social support are relatives with whom they have the right to communicate using a variety of forms. The frequency of contact depends on the type of prison. However, little research examines prisoners’ communication with their relatives. The study was conducted on 478 men between the ages of 16 and 68 (M = 35,2; SD = 9,7), who were serving a prison sentence in one of five penitentiary facilities. The analysis revealed that the majority of incarcerated men had contact with their relatives, usually in a form of phone calls. The majority of them had contact with a mother. The study also demonstrated that the percentage of contacts with relatives decreased with age and time spent in prison.

Published: December 2021

W Instytucie Lingwistyki Stosowanej (ILS) jak na całym Uniwersytecie im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu (UAM) zajęcia stacjonarne zostały zawieszone z dniem 11 marca 2019 roku wskutek ogłoszenia stanu pandemii i do chwili obecnej (kwiecień 2021) odbywają się w trybie zdalnym. Władze dziekańskie zezwoliły zarówno na asynchroniczne prowadzenie zajęć, np. droga mejlową, z wykorzystaniem wydziałowej platformy Moodle, jak i synchroniczne, początkowo z wykorzystaniem komunikatorów internetowych takich jak Zoom, MS Teams czy Skype. Obecnie synchroniczne prowadzenie zajęć dozwolone jest wyłącznie z użyciem MS Teams. Konieczność przestawienia się z nauczania stacjonarnego na nauczanie zdalne spadła więc zarówno na wykładowców jak i studentów nagle, powodując chwilową dezorganizację procesu nauczania. W krótkim czasie obie strony musiały jednak zorganizować się na nowo i podjąć nieznane dotąd wyzwanie nauki i nauczania całkowicie na odległość, mimo iż sama forma komunikacji przez Internet nie była przecież nowa. Z jakimi problemami to się wiązało i do jakich wniosków prowadzi przedstawia ten artykuł. Celem jego jest refleksja nad formą i realizacją nauczania zdalnego w ramach wybranych przedmiotów na studiach I i II stopnia lingwistyki stosowanej w ILS w roku akademickim 2019/20 i 2020/21 wypływająca z doświadczeń prowadzących te zajęcia autorek artykułu a także uczestniczących w nich studentów, oraz wyciągnięcie wniosków w zakresie efektywności tej formy nauczania oraz podnoszenia jakości kształcenia w ramach badanych przedmiotów.

Seeking a Place for Islam in Post-Soviet Russia
Authors: Rozkošová Zuzana , Čech Ľubomír
Published: December 2021

One of the main characteristics of the post-Soviet transformation was the religious resurgence. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the post-Soviet Islamic revival in the 1990s. The awakening of Islam and seeking the place for Muslims in the society significantly influenced the formation of today’s Russian Federation. The authors examine the factors that influenced the role of Islam in newly created post-Soviet Russia and the federal government’s response to its dynamics. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the Islamic revival after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The second chapter is focused on the Kremlin’s reaction to new radical movements that emerged during the Islamic awakening and the separatist sentiments in Russia’s Muslim regions. Using the qualitative research method, the authors drew a conclusion that Islamic radicalisation in post-Soviet Russia was caused by several external and internal factors. The political developments in the Russian Federation between the second half of the 1990s and the early 21st century were characterised by restrictions on religious freedom and consolidation of federalism.
Illegal Control Over the Territory in International Law and the Status of Donbas Determination
Authors: Kresin Oleksiy , Kresina Iryna
Published: December 2021

Total rejection of the aggression and territory occupation in the international law leads to their hybrid and concealed forms using gangs and mercenaries, proclaiming new “states” etc. These activities constitute serious threat to international security, can cause and already cause the fragmentation of states, anarchy, criminalization of politics, new forms of expansionism and so on. The authors of the article generalize the forms of illegal control over the territory in international law and their application considering the status of Donbas determination.

International law for more than a century provides for the possibility of separate regulation of the sovereignty and legal rights of the state to the territory, on the one hand, and the implementation of the regime of illegal control over the territory – on the other. Authors argue that in the modern sense, primarily developed by doctrine and courts, illegal control over the territory can be considered as a legal regime, one of the forms of which is occupation, while others are defined as effective, overall, general, de facto control and related to undisclosed actions and informal means used by the aggressor states. This regime is characterized by the exercise of power over the territory by the will of a foreign state, and the forms of implementation of the regime differ depending on whether such a will is officially recognized or concealed.

The transformation of international humanitarian law after the Second World War erased the boundaries between recognized and officially unrecognized occupation. But unlike occupation, the fact of which may be obvious, the fact of effective or other control over the territory requires the determination by judicial authorities.

The qualification of illegal control by the Russian Federation of the Donbas in national and international law is ambiguous. The authors argue that the full recognition of the international armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in Donbas, as well as Russia’s illegal control over latter should be expected in the process of consideration of a number of cases in the international judicial institutions.

Authors: Eltiyami Nia Reza , Rezaei Reza
Published: December 2021

Throughout the history, the formation of the constitutional state has been the first experience of the modern state in Iran. The change in power relations and the restriction of authoritarian power were among the most important issues of constitutional state. The current study aims at investigating the reasons for transition from Constitutional state to an authoritarian bureaucratic state by adopting Laclau and Mouffe’s framework to political discourse analysis. Research methodology is descriptive-analytical conducted by library–based data. The results showed that the constitutional revolution transformed the power structure and traditional state, but the constitutional revolution failed to create a new order. Despite legal provisions such as the formation of the parliamentary system and the constitution, the constitutional state was unable to exercise its legal power. The co-existence of traditional and reactionary components such as the Khānins, tribal leaders, tribal populations and owners in line with modern elements, intellectuals and the heterogeneity of the ruling political elites made the constitutional revolution incapable of producing profound politico-social changes. As a result, a number of internal and external factors such as financial crisis, tribal power, the imperialist treaty of 1907,disillusionment of political elites, the formation of centrifugal forces, insecurity and global chaos and development of neighboring countries, diversity of ideological in line with geopolitical points of view have been the most important factors in the transition to the authoritarian bureaucratic state of Pahlavi and the failure of the nation – building process and the collapse of politico-constitutional system in Iran.
Cities Towards Global Climate Governance: How the Practices of City Diplomacy Foster Hybrid Multilateralism
Authors: Strachová Nikola
Published: December 2021

One of the effects of globalization is the increasing number of transnational ties that central governments not only ceased to control but also ceased to participate in; therefore, in recent decades, cities have been increasingly motivated to respond to international issues and initiate various contacts with foreign economic, cultural, and political centres. This article examines practices of city diplomacy in light of the current climate crisis. Albeit cities could be in conflict with their central government, they are executing the global climate agenda. Nonetheless, how do we frame cities’ autonomous activities in the global governance agenda? The article seeks to determine whether the framework of hybrid multilateralism is the niche for cities to assume the role of the central government in defending common global values such as preservation of the environment when the state fails to do so. Based on a dataset consisting of various subnational initiatives responding to climate change, we suggest a remarkable growth in the pledges to the international climate agreements’ commitments involving many subnational actors. Through these pledges, cities enter the international negotiations with various partners under hybrid policy architecture.

Cities hold an enormous potential to influence the global conversation on climate change agenda. Furthermore, we conclude that cities are taking on the states’ role in global issues when they identify the inadequacy of the central governments’ action. Their conflict position forces them to carry out autonomous activities and fosters the new phenomenon of hybrid multilateralism.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to show modern trends in identification in the context of globalization and the specific conditions of political and economic systems, to indicate ways of influencing their formation, to change the value paradigm of identification associated with harmonious human relations. А hypothesis is that modern identification in Ukraine does not correspond to the liberal-democratic tradition and will continue to generate conflict. The existing identification structure should be used to reorient individuals and groups to effective communication within organizations, which will contribute to the political stability and security of the state. The following approaches and research methods have been used as tools to achieve this purpose: synergetic method; the reflective method; the dialectical method; a comparative method; structural-systemic method; synthesis method. The article covers the following issues: Analysis of identification models; Features of the identification mechanism in post-soviet realities; Modern synergetic model of identification in Ukraine; Peculiarities of culture formation in the conditions of digital and socio-cultural globalization; A new approach to identification as a factor of political stability and security. The authors made the following conclusions: The “ethnic model” of identification turns into a strange attractor, resulting in the Ruelle-Takens scenario. According to the theory of synergetics, this scenario became possible after three bifurcations in the political and economic system of Ukraine over the past 29 years. The “turquoise paradigm” elements should be taken as a basis for model of national identity.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the paper is to analyze and assess the determinants of the participation of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan. The first part of the paper presents the background of the Chinese army’s involvement in the Sudanese states, and the second part shows the specificity of its involvement in UNMISS. The next two parts deal, respectively, with political, military and strategic, and economic determinants of China’s involvement in this mission. The research problem is contained in the question what were the most important determinants of China’s involvement in the UN Mission in South Sudan? The hypothesis of the paper assumes that the main deterimnant of the involvement was the protection of China’s economic interests in South Sudan and East Africa. In addition, by being active in UN peacekeeping missions, China wants to strengthen this organization and create the image of the state responsible for maintaining international peace and security. The Chinese army is also interested in gaining experience in expeditionary mission to increase the ability of military operations in distant theaters. The method of text source analysis was used in the paper.
The European Union – Japan Strategic Partnership in the Contested Global Order. External Relations of the EU in the Context of Economic, Normative and Security Framework
Authors: Jańczak Jarosław
Published: December 2021

The aim of this article is to review the strategic partnership of the European Union-Japan in the context of the changing global order, exploring economic, normative and security dimensions. This leads to wider reflections allowing us to theorize international relations with regards to the concept of strategic partnerships. The research question concentrates on what the foundations of the strategic partnership between the European Union and Japan are, and how it answers the challenges in the three above indicated fields. The hypothesis is formulated from the perspective of strategic partnership theory. Methodologically, the work is based on the analysis of primary and secondary sources, as well as on qualitative methods implemented in the form of semi-structured interviews. The key findings reveal that the changing global order and international environment have pushed both partners to create a strategic partnership that has spilled over from economic relations to the normative, political and finally security fields.
Borders, De-Borderization and Migration Narratives in Hungary
Authors: Gyelník Teodor
Published: December 2021

The events and processes of the recent decades drive us to awake from the hypnotic illusion of the ‘end of history’. The ‘return of history’ is not only a necessary step that has to be taken, but it is ontologically inevitable. Blinded by the mobile army of metaphors, metonyms and anthropomorphisms, we need to see that the processes of the 21st century are no different from the old politics which were recorded in history, thus it is unavoidable to think within the ‘dialectics of Old and New’. Globalization, relativization of values, removal of borders and the re-narration of borders in previously unseen areas lead us to an existential zero point. Borders play significant self-determining and self-definition role in our life and society, thus their relocation, reorientation and blurring of their meaning is a question that has to be analysed and closely watched. Together with the narration of borders, the narration of security plays major role. Migration and the question of open, permeable borders have become one of the most important security narrations of our everyday life.

Improving the stability of beech wood with polyester treatment based on malic acid
Authors: Chabert Adèle J. , Fredon Emmanuel , Rémond Romain
Published: December 2021

The improvement of durability and dimensional stability of wood properties via modification of the microstructure and wood–water interaction has been widely utilised. This study investigated polyester treatments, a possible alternative, using environmentally friendly chemicals such as malic acid to improve the beech wood (Fagus sylvatica) properties. The modified properties have been studied with four treatments using malic acid, glycerol, butanediol and succinic anhydride, mixing polycarboxylic acids and polyols. Results showed that the anti-swelling-efficiency (ASE) improved up to 70%, and the bulking coefficient improved around 23%, exhibiting an efficient penetration within the cell walls. The leaching rates (LR) of treatments and the extractables remained low, between 0.05 and 2.4%. The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) decreased by 50% for the four treatments, compared to untreated beech wood.

Willard D. Straight – architect, diplomat, photographer, publisher, sketcher, and writer – arrived in Korea in 1904 as a correspondent during the Russo-Japanese War, and became the US vice consul in Seoul in 1905. By utilizing a number of images from the Willard Dickerman Straight Papers of Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, and by referring to other relevant sources of/about Straight, this essay presents a textual analysis and comprehensive visual reading about the country which Straight observed in a very crucial transition period in global history. It provides a glimpse at the perspective of an early twentieth-century American diplomat, eyewitness, photographer, and writer on the cultural, industrial, and technological transformations that Korea experienced in the early 1900s as a consequence of its interaction with major world powers.
