Purpose. Justification in the mining-geological and mining-technical conditions of the Krasnolimanskaya mine of the possibility of mining safety pillars of coal at horizons located below the capital crosscuts, while maintaining the stability of the capital workings. The possibility of such mining of coal pillars provides additional reserves of scarce coal for the needs of the metallurgical industry and thermal power industry of Ukraine. Methodology. The studies were done out using the capabilities of the Ansys software product based on developed geomechanical elastic-plastic models, developed taking into account the geological and mining-technical features of the Krasnolimanskaya mine deposit, during the phased development of safety coal pillars. At each stage of development of safety pillars, the preliminary stress-strain state of the coal rock mass around the crosscuts was recorded, the boundary conditions were changed, and changes in the parameters of the stress and deformation field were assessed. Ten stages of evolutionary changes allow us to assess the level of operational reliability of the crosscut. Results. As a result of the research, patterns of changes in the stress-strain state of the carbon rock mass around the capital crosscuts were obtained. Based on the analysis, the possibility of their safe operation was proven and the conditions for testing safety coal pillars were justified. Scientific novelty. For the first time, for the mining and geological conditions of the Krasnolimanskaya mine, the patterns of evolution of the stress-strain state of the coal rock mass around capital crosscuts during the gradual development of underlying safety coal pillars have been studied. Practical significance. The geometric parameters of the location of workings within the field of the Krasnolimanskaya mine are substantiated, in which the mining of coal pillars on the underlying horizons is safe and preserves the operational capabilities of capital crosscuts.
INCREASING THE CAPACITY OF ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION LINES IN THE POST-EMERGENCY MODE
Authors: Omelchuk A. , Zakolodyazhnyi V.
Published: February 2024

Automatic switching on of the reserve (AVR) points are used to increase the reliability of power supply to consumers, which are advisable to install in distribution power networks and consumer networks for the power supply of production processes, the technology of which does not allow even short-term interruptions in power supply.

The purpose of the research: substantiating the location of the AVR point for mutual redundancy of power transmission lines; determination of the effect of longitudinal capacitive compensation on the transmission capacity in the post-emergency mode; determining the impact of reactive power compensation on the economy of the post-emergency power transmission mode.

The article considers a method of increasing the capacity of power transmission in the post-emergency mode, as a result of which an adjacent (reserved) line is connected to one of the working power transmission lines with a voltage of 10 kV using the point of automatic switching on of the reserve (AVR).

However, the effectiveness of such redundancy in most cases turns out to be low due to the limited capacity of trunk sections of mutual-reserved lines with smaller cross-sections of wires at the end sections of both mutually-reserved lines, which were built as radials. As a result of such redundancy, there are increased losses of active power and voltage, and, as a result, unacceptable deviation of the voltage in remote nodes of the load of the redundant power transmission line.

In order to improve the parameters of the operation mode of power transmission, it is proposed to use devices of longitudinal capacitive compensation and reactive power compensation in the scheme of the AVR point.

Published: February 2024

As the conducted studies show, deviations of voltage asymmetry have the greatest impact on the electric drives of production machines and mechanisms. .

Studies on the effect of voltage asymmetry on the technological characteristics of working machines and mechanisms have shown that their productivity decreases with voltage asymmetry. However, there are no studies on the influence of spring asymmetry on the energy characteristics of working machines.

The purpose of the research is to determine the influence of voltage asymmetry on the energy characteristics of crushers.

With voltage asymmetry, constant and variable losses in an asynchronous electric motor change.

It is proposed to carry out an energy assessment of the electric drive of crushers based on the specific consumption of electricity.

The influence of voltage asymmetry on the energy characteristics of crushers was studied. The dependence of the specific power consumption on the change in stiffness of the mechanical characteristics of the electric motor, which is caused by voltage asymmetry, is obtained. It was established that stiffness and power losses increase with voltage asymmetry. As a result, specific losses of electricity in the crushers electric drive increase.

René Maunier, un durkheimien ‘périphérique’
Authors: Montigny Gilles
Published: February 2024

René Maunier (1887–1951) developed an interest in foreign countries and local cultures, following a posting to Cairo and then Algiers. A professor of colonial economics and legislation from 1922 onwards, he held several positions in the colonial administration, specializing in ‘Algerian sociology’. Through fieldwork, he became one of France's foremost experts on Berber populations, and in particular on the phenomena of contact between races and cultures, and the changes they bring about. In his eyes, the study of these contacts should lead to action: to bring about change and reform, in the best interests of the metropolis and the colonized peoples themselves, in territories subject to interdependence. His interests intersect with Durkheimian sociology in the way social facts are considered and analyzed, and he writes on several occasions about the interest and scientific scope of Durkheimian sociology. He also published in L'Année Sociologique and Annales Sociologiques, but was never a Durkheimian in the full sense of the term. Maunier's attitude during the Occupation and the sanctions imposed on him brought his career to an abrupt halt, and harmed the spread of his ideas. As a result, he did not enjoy the posterity he would have deserved.

René Maunier (1887–1951), va développer un intérêt pour les pays étrangers et les cultures locales, suite à une affectation au Caire, puis à Alger. Professeur d’économie et de législation coloniales, à partir de 1922, occupant des postes dans l'administration coloniale, il se spécialise en ‘sociologie algérienne’. Effectuant des voyages d’études sur le terrain, il devient l'un des meilleurs connaisseurs français des populations berbères, en particulier des phénomènes de contact entre les races et les cultures, et des changements qu'ils provoquent. L’étude de ces contacts doit déboucher à ses yeux sur une action : faire évoluer et réformer au mieux des intérêts de la métropole et des peuples colonisés eux-mêmes, des territoires soumis à des liens d'interdépendance. Ses intérêts croisent la sociologie durkheimienne sur la manière dont le fait social est considéré et analysé, et il écrit à diverses reprises sur l'intérêt et la portée scientifique de la sociologie durkheimienne. Il publie aussi dans L'Année sociologique et les Annales sociologiques, mais ne sera jamais un durkheimien au sens fort du terme. L'attitude de Maunier durant l'Occupation et la sanction dont il a fait l'objet ont brutalement interrompu une carrière, et nui à la propagation de ses idées. Si bien qu'il n'a pas eu la postérité qu'il aurait méritée.
Nationalisme et religion
Authors: Santiago Jose
Published: February 2024

This article examines the genesis and legacy of some of Durkheim's hypotheses on the relationship between nationalism and religion. On the one hand, it examines Durkheim's interpretation of the French Revolution as a religious phenomenon, from which nationalism has been seen as (the) religion of modernity. It also analyses Durkheim's conception of patriotism and its relationship with the religion of humanity. The article inquiries into Durkheim's writings, analysing the genesis of these propositions, which are rooted in foundations that are not entirely established. Following this critical examination, Durkheim's work is highlighted as a tool for reflecting on the sacrality of nations, showing how theories of nationalism of the last decades have recovered the Durkheimian legacy.

Cet article se penche sur la genèse et l'héritage de certaines hypothèses de Durkheim sur la relation entre le nationalisme et la religion. Il examine, d'une part, l'interprétation durkheimienne de la Révolution française comme phénomène religieux et à partir de laquelle le nationalisme a été considéré comme (la) religion de la modernité. Il analyse, d'autre part, la façon dont cet auteur conçoit le patriotisme et son rapport avec la religion de l'humanité. L'article examine les écrits de Durkheim en analysant la genèse de ces propositions dont les fondements ne semblent pas tout à fait établis. À la suite de cet examen critique, l’œuvre de Durkheim est mise en valeur comme un outil de réflexion sur le caractère sacré des nations. Il s'agit de montrer comment les théories du nationalisme des dernières décennies ont pu récupérer l'héritage durkheimien.
Spirit Possession among the Shakers of Pleasant Hill

Published: February 2024

As a conceptual tool, effervescence offers a nuanced and complex explanation of forces for social change. Yet, it can be challenging to identify subject matter that spans the full implications of effervescence from embodied feeling to changes in social action over time. This study joins theories of effervescence with a unique set of primary historical records from a nineteenth-century religious utopian community in the United States to investigate whether effervescence might have a role in the creation, maintenance or decay of social ideals. As an explanation for social action, findings suggest that effervescence points to a link between embodied feeling, social ideals and institutional control – aspects of effervescence that offer avenues for future theoretical and empirical research.

Published: February 2024

As a part of the UIP-2020-02-3695 Analysis of Systems in Crisis and of New Consciousness in 21st Century Literature installation research project, which is being carried out at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek and is financed by the Croatian Science Foundation (https://askins21.ffos.hr/english/),1 this paper focuses on two contemporary plays of Western European literature: Odysseus, Verbrecher. Schauspiel einer Heimkehr (2010), written by the Austrian author Christoph Ransmayr, and Phaedra Backwards (2011), by the Irish playwright Marina Carr. In both plays, the authors use the original myths of Odysseus and Phaedra, reimagining them in a contemporary context in order to show the universality of their experiences, but above all to comment on the society and especially the family as a system marked by crises and conflicts instead of heroic deeds. In this light, the analysis focuses on the text and context within which the state of society and the family are explored. The research is primarily based on the sociological reflections on the system, crisis, and family, drawing on the theoretical approach of the German sociological theorist Niklas Luhmann and focusing on society and social systems. In the selected plays, the family as a specific type of system is examined as well as its dynamics in relation to social changes. In addition to the examination of thematic, compositional, and genre features of the plays, the comparative analysis will reveal their differences and similarities regarding several aspects: the self-concept in context of the family as well as the causes, manifestations, and consequences of the crisis. In other words, its effect on thecharacters and their transformations will be explored.

Uloga diskursne kompetencije u ovladavanju stranim jezikom postaje važn(ij)a na višim razinama komunikacijske jezične kompetencije. Sadržaj diskursne kompetencije, koja predstavlja sposobnost proizvodnje, ali i razumijevanja tekstova, vrlo je složen. No kako je smisao ovladavanja jezikom upravo razvijanje sposobnosti sporazumijevanja na tom jeziku, opis njezinih obilježja i njezinog razvoja kod inojezičnog govornika od ogromnog je znanstvenog interesa. Cilj je ovoga rada ispitati obilježja uvoda u argumentacijskim esejima na njemačkom kao stranom jeziku primjenom metode analize tematske progresije s osobitim osvrtom na nedostatke koji se mogu uočiti u tim tekstovima. Analizom korpusa 50 tekstova na njemačkom kao stranom jeziku na razini B2 utvrđeno je da slabije procijenjeni tekstovi imaju relativno mali broj riječi, t-jedinica te različitih tematskih elemenata. Uočeni su problemi u odabiru referenata i izraza koji se koriste kao tematski element iskaza, te u redoslijedu kojim se tematski elementi pojavljuju u uvodu teksta. Uočene se nedostatke može povezati s lingvističkom kompetencijom u njemačkom jeziku, ali i s općim kognitivnim sposobnostima koje nisu jezično specifične. Provedena je analiza omogućila uvid u doseg i ograničenja primjene metode analize tematske progresije. Uz osvrt na potonje, naznačene su i pedagoške implikacije rezultata ovoga istraživanja.

U radu se raspravlja o jezičnoj politici u Bosni i Hercegovini, koja je tada jedna od šest socijalističkih republika Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije, u razdoblju od ožujka 1967. godine, kada je objavljena Deklaracija o nazivu i položaju hrvatskog književnog jezika, do sarajevskog Simpozijuma o jezičkoj toleranciji održanog u travnju 1970. Podrobno se raščlanjuju simpozijski zaključci te polemičke rasprave prouzročene njihovim različitim tumačenjem i vrednovanjem. Uzimajući u obzir cjelinu jezičnopolitičkihprocesa u Bosni i Hercegovini, na koncu se ustvrđuje da se Simpozijum može uzeti kao međaš nove, autonomne bosansko-hercegovačke jezične politike u socijalističkom razdoblju.

Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Yu Sang-Min , Lee Yun-Suk
Published: February 2024

This study aims to examine whether community space experiences and social networks affect media-based cultural activities among older men, using the data from a sample of 989 older men from the 2022 National Culture and Arts Activities Survey. Main findings are as follows; First, older men with community space experiences, especially community center experience, were more likely to attend media-based cultural activities. Second, presence of a spouse, presence of children living together do not have significant effects. But older men with a spouse were less likely to attend media-based culture and arts viewing on cinema. In terms of control variables, older men who were younger or economically inactive were more likely to attend media-based culture and arts viewing.
