Authors: Devkota Sapana , Adhikari Kishor , Ghimire Amrita , Koirala Subash , Chhetri Mamta
Published: October 2020

Background: A psychosocial problem is a mental illness caused or influenced by life experiences, as well as maladjusted cognitive and behavioral processes. Psychosocial problems i.e. internalizing dis­orders, externalizing disorders and substance abuse are more prevalent among adolescents because of their rapid physical and physiological changes that occur in their body during this stage. The aim of the study was to identify the magnitude of psychosocial problems among school-going adolescents.

Methods: Present study was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the ward no. 15 of Gho­rahi sub metropolitan city of Dang District, Nepal. A total of 325 adolescents were chosen from multi-staged random sampling. Pre-tested self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Part I and part II of questionnaire was self-constructed and Part III was adopted from standard tool of Youth Pediatric Symptoms Checklist. Descriptive (percentage, frequency, interquartile range and minimum and maximum values) and inferential analysis (chi-square test) was done through this IBM SPSS soft­ware version 20.

Results: The prevalence of psychosocial problems among school going adolescents was 26.8%. Socio-demographic characteristics such as age, ethnicity, occupational status of respondent’s father and mother were found to be significantly associated with psychosocial problems. The relation with teach­er and academic grade of respondent were found to be highly associated with psychosocial problems.

Conclusions: The study reported an alarming situation of psychosocial problems among adolescent students in Nepal where more than one quarter of participants found having psychosocial problems. The study may suggest the need of proper parenting and maintenance of an appropriate level of teacher-student relationship.
Knowledge, attitude and practice about antibiotic use, self-medication and antibiotic resistance among final year medical students and interns at a medical college in Lalitpur, Nepal
Authors: Jha Nisha , Shrestha Sunil , Shankar Pathiyil Ravi , Bhandary Shital
Published: October 2020

Background:Antibiotic resistance is a global crisis posing a considerable threat, especially, to developing countries and can cause 10 million deaths by 2050. Medical students as future doc­tors play an essential role in promoting the rational use of antibiotics. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the respondents’ knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding an­tibiotic use, antibiotic self-medication, and antibiotic resistance and compare the KAP among different subgroups of respondents at KIST Medical College, Lalitpur, Nepal.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among final year medical students and interns from Sep­tember to October 2019. A structured questionnaire with 22 statements for assessing knowledge, 13 statements for attitude and 12 statements for practice was used as a data collection tool. Differ­ences in the KAP scores among different subgroups were studied using appropriate statistical tests.

Results: A total of 131 respondents participated, and 76(58%) were female. Most were from the Brahmin ethnic group 54(41.2%) while 82(62.6%) had relatives in the medical field. Ninety-three (71%) were final year medical students and 38(29%) were medical interns. The knowledge scores were high (76) among most subgroups of respondents. The attitude score was 58 out of 65 and prac­tice score was 6 out of 12. Knowledge scores were higher among female respondents, and practice scores were higher among interns (p=0.002).

Conclusions: The study showed good knowledge and attitude regarding antibiotics among the final year medical students and the interns. Interns were found to have a better practice than the final year students for using antibiotics rationally.
Satisfaction on clinical learning environment among nursing students of selected medical colleges of Chitwan, Nepal
Authors: Dhakal Prativa , Thapa Taniya
Published: October 2020

Background: Clinical learning environment includes everything that surrounds students and is extremely beneficial in stimulating their critical thinking and affects their professional de­velopment via focus on clinical judgment and decision–making in the clinical setting. This study aims to assess the level of satisfaction on clinical learning environment among nursing students of selected medical colleges of Chitwan, Nepal.

Methods: Descriptive, cross sectional study design was used to assess the satisfaction on clinical learning environment among nursing students of selected medical colleges of Chitwan. Standard tool (CLES + T scale) was administered among 242 nursing students. Data was entered in IBM Sta­tistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0 and was further analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.

Results: Just more than half of the nursing students were highly satisfied (51.2%) with the clinical learning environment. The level of satisfaction among nursing students was found statistically sig­nificant with year of study and type of ward of latest clinical placement with p value <0.05.

Conclusions: Nearly half of the students are still not highly satisfied towards their clinical learning environment, therefore improvement in its quality needs proper planning, implementation and supervision that too in government hospital settings.

Positioning Informal Skills Learners in TVET System of Nepal
Authors: Baral Durga Prasad
Published: October 2020

The informal sector occupies a significant portion of employment in Nepal. More than eighty per cent of all employees work in this sector. These workers generally lack formal skills training and acquire skills while performing the work under the guidance of skilled workers. However, the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) system rarely recognises such informally learned skills at work. In this context, this paper explores the position obtained by informal skills learners in the existing TVET system of Nepal. I drew information from related literature, collected experiences of six informal skills learners as cases and incorporated views of eight experts through interviews. The study shows that informal skills learners are getting very little attention in the Nepali TVET system. In fact, the system is not valuing the contribution of local communities and institutions, industries, and enterprises in the development of skills. Furthermore, the study reveals that lacking awareness-raising and motivational programmes targeted to youth; and the government‘s unfavourable working approach to TVET. In this situation, I argue that obtaining a dignified position by informal skills learners depends on the value given to skills, work, and occupation. The paper concludes that Pervasive Loitering Syndrome (PLS) prevails across different layers of society. The PLS creates the situation of less valuing skills, work, and occupations, and ultimately the informal skills learners are devalued.

Abstrak

Kurangnya kualitas pelayanan menjadi salah satu kendala terhadap tingkat kepuasan pasien. Pihak rumah sakit juga sering kali kesulitan dalam mengukur kualitas pelayanannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat kepuasan pasien yang menggunakan layanan BPJS Kesehatan di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Dr. H. Kumpulan Pane. Pengukuran kualitas pelayanan dilakukan dengan metode Fuzzy servqual. Kualitas pelayanan menggunakan lima dimensi yang terdapat dalam servqual yaitu tangibles (bukti fisik), reliability (keandalan), responsiveness (daya tanggap), assurance (jaminan), emphaty (empati). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa nilai gap dari kelima dimensi memiliki nilai negatif. Yang artinya kualitas pelayanan di dapatkan belum sesuai dengan yang diharapkan oleh pasien BPJS Kesehatan. Nilai gap tertinggi adalah dimensi emphaty (empati) dengan nilai gap sebesar 0.15 dan nilai gap terendah adalah dimensi tangibles (bukti fisik) dengan nilai gap 0.49. dengan demikian dapat diketahui bahwa dimensi tangibles (bukti fisik) ini yang menjadi perhatian untuk dapat meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan.

Abstract

Lack of quality of service becomes one of the obstacles to the level of patient satisfaction. The hospital is also often difficult to measure the quality of service. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of satisfaction of patients who use BPJS Health services in the Regional General Hospital Dr. H. Collection Pane. Measurement of service quality is done by Fuzzy servqual method. Service quality uses the five dimensions contained in the servqual are tangibles (physical evidence), reliability, responseiveness, assurance, empathy. The results of this study indicate that the gap value of the five dimensions has a negative value. Which means the quality of service is not in accordance with the expected by the patient BPJS Health. The highest gap value is the empathy dimension with the gap value of 0.15 and the lowest gap is the dimension of tangibles (physical proof) with the gap value of 0.49. thus it can be seen that the dimensions of tangibles (physical evidence) is of concern to improve service quality.

The domain of private law
Authors: Dagan Hanoch , Dorfman Avihay
Published: October 2020

Private law theories tend to narrowly delineate their ambitions: many theories limit private law’s normative aspirations to a circumscribed set of liberalism’s core commitments, restrict its horizons to the boundaries of the state, and marry its norms with only one type of legal institution (courts). These limited ambitions, we argue in this article, are normatively unwarranted. Each of these (often implicit) limitations distorts our understanding of the law governing people’s interpersonal relationships in their capacity as private individuals. Each of them improperly marginalizes, and, at times, renders normatively dubious, legal doctrines that give effect to the liberal commitment that captures the moral centre of private law – namely, reciprocal respect for self-determination and substantive equality.

Ad hoc properties and locations in Maltese
Authors: Dalmi Gréte
Published: October 2020

This paper aims to show that the four-way BE-system of Maltese can best be accommodated in a theory of non-verbal predication that builds on alternative states, without making any reference to the Davidsonian spatio-temporal event variable. The existing theories of non-verbal predicates put the burden of explaining the difference between the ad hoc vs. habitual interpretations either solely on the non-verbal predicate, by postulating an event variable in their lexical layer (see Kratzer 1995; Adger and Ramchand 2003; Magri 2009; Roy 2013), or solely on the copular or non-copular primary predicate, which contains an aspectual operator or an incorporated abstract preposition, responsible for such interpretive differences (Schmitt 2005, Schmitt and Miller 2007, Gallego and Uriagereka 2009, 2011, Marín 2010, Camacho 2012).

The present proposal combines Maienborn’s (2003, 2005a,b, 2011) discourse-semantic theory of copular sentences with Richardson’s (2001, 2007) analysis of non-verbal adjunct predicates in Russian, based on alternative states. Under this combined account, variation between the ad hoc vs. habitual interpretations of non-verbal predicates is derived from the presence or absence of a modal OPalt operator that can bind the temporal variable of non-verbal predicates in accessible worlds, in the sense of Kratzer (1991). In the absence of this operator, the temporal variable is bound by the T0 head in the standard way. The proposal extends to non-verbal predicates in copular sentences as well as to argument and adjunct non-verbal predicates in non-copular sentences.
Some reflections on Chomsky’s notion of reference
Authors: Cipriani Enrico
Published: October 2020

In this paper, I will focus on Chomsky’s interpretation of the notion of reference. I will summarize Chomsky’s criticisms against the externalist interpretation of such notion, and I will then focus on the internalist (and syntactic) interpretation that the MIT linguist provides. Then I will focus on the relation between the internalist interpretation and the notion of truth, discussing in particular Casalegno and Hinzen’s objections: I will point out that truth does not represent a particular problem for the internalized reference. Finally, I will show how Chomsky explains, inside the internalist perspective, the phenomenon of communication. In Conclusions, I will sketch two important points.
The influence of the language of new media on the literacy of young people in their school assignments and in leisure
Authors: Filipan-Žignić Blaženka , Legac Vladimir , Sobo Katica
Published: October 2020

The authors of this research study try to explore the real literacy among young people of today resulting from the influence of the language of new media (especially Facebook and the mobile phone). The impetus for this study comes from frequent complaints that the language of young people has deteriorated due to the negative impact of the language that young people are using in the new media. The authors have done this through an analysis of the way students write in their school assignments and in writings done in their spare time in the new media with regard to (non) existence of the language of new media (such as abbreviations, emoticons and other iconic signs, capitals, dialecticisms, anglicisms, vulgarisms, etc.). In their analysis, the researchers used a computer programme WordSmith Tools 6.0 (Scott 2006). The authors aimed to find out whether or not students in their private language texts use the language of new media (written language with many elements of spoken language and with many abbreviations) and whether or not the students in their school assignments consistently use the standard language without the elements that they normally use in their own language in the new media. The results have shown that secondary school students do consistently write in the standard language in their school assignments, whereas in their leisure activities they use all the elements of the language of new media.
The locative syntax of Experiencers. The case study of phraseological units as psych-predicates
Authors: Dąbrowska Anna
Published: October 2020

The name psych-verbs is commonly assigned to verbs denoting mental or emotional states, such as fear, worry, frighten, or surprise. Such verbs select a participant/an individual who experiences an emotional or mental state, usually referred to as an Experiencer, and a non-Experiencer argument, sometimes called stimulus, trigger of emotion, causer or target/subject matter, or subsumed under the label of ‘theme’ (Landau, 2010, p. 5). The special behaviour of Experiencers, related to the so-called ‘psych effects’, is the reason why psychological predicates have been a subject of debate in theoretical syntax for several decades.

The aim of this study is to check whether English verbal phraseological units, which denote a psychological condition of an Experiencer and occur with locative Prepositional Phrases (PPs), may serve as evidence for Landau’s (2010, p. 6) hypothesis of ‘Experiencers as mental locations’. Landau’s theory has been chosen since it covers a much broader variety of data, in comparison with the previous approaches, offered by Belletti & Rizzi (1988), Grimshaw (1990), and Pesetsky (1995), among others.

The data analysed in the paper have been extracted from English dictionaries of idiomatic expressions, supported with the COCA Corpus. The study focuses on Object Experiencer verbal phraseological units that display a structure V + PP. The results of the study reveal that, in total, out of 3,000 tokens, there are only 50 psychological verbal idiomatic expressions with an Object Experiencer. However, the data show that a lexical P with the Experiencer as an object appears only in 13 (26%) idiomatic expressions out of the 50, whereas 37 items (74%) include an Experiencer preceded with no P. The latter might be treated as exhibiting an oblique Experiencer with a null preposition. However, no relevant syntactic evidence can be found in support the claim that there is a covert P in this type of phrase. Therefore, the results do not provide enough evidence in favour of Landau’s (2010) theory of Experiencers as mental locations, placed either in a covert or overt PP.
The use of metonymy and metaphor in descriptive essays by intermediate and advanced EFL students
Authors: Kapranov Oleksandr
Published: October 2020

This article involves an empirical linguistic study aimed at elucidating the use of metonymy and metaphor in descriptive essays written by a group of intermediate EFL students (further referred to as ‘participants’). 20 participants were recruited at Stockholm University, Sweden and matched with a control group comprised of 20 advanced EFL students at the same university. The participants and their respective controls were given five pictorial stimuli containing famous architectural landmarks in Sweden. The participants and the control group were instructed to write a one paragraph descriptive essay about each pictorial stimulus using either i) an imaginary and creative approach or ii) a non-imaginary and purely descriptive approach. The corpus of the participants’ and controls’ essays was subsequently analysed in the computer program WordSmith (Scott, 1996). Quantitative analysis in WordSmith yielded descriptive statistics involving word frequencies. Then, the corpus was analysed manually for the presence of metonymy and metaphor. Qualitative findings seem to support previous research (MacArthur, 2010; Haghshenas & Hashemian, 2016), which suggests that the use of metonymy tends to be associated with the intermediate level of EFL writing, whilst both metonymy and metaphor are predominantly found in the writing by advanced EFL learners.
Cognitive mechanisms and emergent grammatical features in Internet memes
Authors: Diedrichsen Elke
Published: October 2020

Internet memes of the type composed of an image macro and text, have a strong form-meaning correlation that is shared among users of social media. Their frequency of usage and the immediacy of their broad reach around the world make them an interesting field of investigation for linguistic studies. I will argue in this article that Internet memes resemble linguistic signs. Users develop a literacy, i.e. a command of their usage through convention and shared usage history. Popular Internet memes can be found in a multiplicity of variations, where details of the shown picture are changed, while the general mood or topic of the meme, mostly expressed in the caption, remains broadly the same. This article will discuss cases where the development of meme variations works along the lines of known cognitive mechanisms like metaphor and metonymy, and their prerequisites, like abstraction. Some meme variations can be represented as grammaticalisation paths that lead to the emergence of grammatical features like morphemes.
Grammatical underpinnings of lexicalization patterns in Croatian, English and French: The case of [N PP] constructions
Authors: Katunar Daniela , Raffaelli Ida
Published: October 2020

This paper deals with the noun-preposition [N PP] construction in Croatian and compares the construction to its counterparts in English and French. Noun – preposition relations are analyzed as grammatical relations which participate in the formation of the lexicon, i.e. as grammatical devices which are productively used as lexicalization patterns. Based on the corpus analysis, [N PP] constructions in Croatian are identified and contrasted to English and French data. Lexical status of multi-word units in Croatian is discussed, as well as the level of idiomaticity of these constructions as compared to English and French. Whereas French and Croatian employ a similar lexicalization pattern, English uses compounding. The lexicon – grammar continuum is thus observed from the perspective of syntactic structures participating in word-formation.
The interaction between relevant-set based operators and a topic–predicate dimension
Authors: Szeteli Anna , Alberti Gábor
Published: October 2020

Hungarian relevant-set based operators, such as universally quantified noun-phrases and the also-quantifier, signal a logico-pragmatic relation between their explicit meaning and a broader implicit set of relevant participants which property can be mentioned as “double referentiality” of the operator. Furthermore, they indicate the new or correcting information in a topic–predicate dimension which belongs to the broader world of the discourse. Our research aims to identify the differences by investigating the suprasegmental features of each-quantifiers and also-quantifiers on the Hungarian left-periphery indicating the two functions in the topic–predicate dimension. Short sentences in which quantifiers functioning either as the main (new/correcting) information or as a topic (anchor of relevant information) were read by 41 non-linguist native Hungarian subjects. The pitch, intensity and duration properties were analyzed by Praat. On the basis of paired t‑tests of the data, it can be stated that a two-dimension model of information structure is required to capture the phenomenon.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan perilaku gotong-royong sebagai katarsis jati diri bangsa yang tengah banyak ditinggalkan. Metode penelitian yang dipakai adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan kajian pustaka sebagai tulang punggung utama pengumpulan data. Saat ini identitas Budaya Kolektif dari bangsa Indonesia mulai luntur. Tren meninggalkan budaya kolektif juga semakin kuat jika melihat tren masyarakat yang mulai abai dengan kepentingan Umum dan lebih mementingkan kepentingan pribadi. Oleh karena itu mengembalikan masyarakat pada Jati Diri dan nilai bangsanya menjadi sangat krusial. Perilaku gotong – royong yang pada jaman dahulu menjadi roh budaya kolektif agaknya dapat ditegakkan lagi. Perilaku gotong – royong merupakan perilaku saling membantu, bentuk solidaritas dan sinergi antar masyarakat. Perilaku ini dapat menjadi strategi meningkatkan kembali nilai – nilai. Kolektivitas yang mulai luntur. Menegakkan kembali perilaku gotong – royong yang pernah menjadi ruh pemersatu bangsa yang dulu pernah ada, akan dapat menjadi katarsis untuk mengembalikan budaya bangsa. Oleh karena itu nilai – nilai dan perilaku gotong royong harus ditegakkan kembali guna mengembalikan Jati Diri Bangsa Indonesia ke arah yang seharusnya. This study aims to describe the behaviour of cooperation as a catharsis of national identity that is being largely abandoned. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with literature review as the main backbone of data collection. Currently, the collective cultural identity of the Indonesian nation is starting to fade. The trend of leaving a collaborative culture is also getting more assertive if you look at the trend in society that is beginning to ignore the public interest and prioritize personal interests. Therefore, returning society to the identity of its nation and the value of its people is very crucial. It seems that the cooperation behaviour, which in ancient times became the spirit of a collective culture, can be reinforced. Cooperation behaviour is the behaviour of mutual help, a form of solidarity and synergy between communities. This behaviour can be a strategy to increase the collectivity values that are starting to wear off. Re-enforcing the cooperation behaviour that was once the unifying spirit of the nation that once existed, will be a catharsis to restore the nation's culture. Therefore, the values and behaviour of cooperation must be re-enforced to return the Indonesian National Identity to the direction it should be.

Abstrak: Dalam adat istiadat masyarakat sasak terutama keturunan bangsawan khsususnya kaum perempuan, apabila ingin menikah dia harus mencari orang yang sebangsawannya, jika tidak maka harta warisan akan hangus, dan diberikan sanksi keluar dari golongan bangsawan. Sedangkan kalau laki-laki diperbolehkan menikah dengan masyarakat biasa ataupun masyarakat bangsawan. Tujuan dalam artikel ini menjelaskan prosesi adat merarik masyarakat bangsawan dengan masyarakat biasa di Desa Sengkerang Kecamatan Praya Timur Kabupaten Lombok Tengah. Penelitian ini termasuk peneltian kualitatif. Subyek Penelitian yaitu Kepala Desa, Kepala Dusun, Tokoh Agama, Tokoh Adat, Tokoh Pemuda dan Masyarakat. Metode pengumpulan data yang dipakai yaitu teknik observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Data yang diperoleh akan dianalisis dengan model interaktif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa prosesi merariq masyarakat bangsawan dan masyarakat biasa meliputi tiga  tahapan yaitu: Pertama, adat sebelum akad berupa Midang, Midang merupakan kunjungan secara langsung dari pihak laki-laki ke pihak perempuan dalam rangka memperdalam hubungan sekaligus mengikat hubungan pertalian yang lebih mendalam dalam bentuk pernikahan. Kedua, adat dalam proses akad meliputi rangakaian kegiatan Merariq, Mesejati/sejati, Pemuput selabar/selabar, dan Nyongkol atau nyodol. Ketiga, adat setelah akad, setelah acara sorong doe atau nyongkol dan bales lampak nae (balas bekas kaki). Abstract:  In the customs of the Sasak people, especially the descendants of the aristocracy, especially women, if they want to get married they have to find someone who is an aristocrat, otherwise their inheritance will be forfeited and will be sanctioned to leave the aristocratic class. Meanwhile, men are allowed to marry into ordinary people or noble societies. The purpose of this article is to explain the traditional procession of drawing aristocratic communities with ordinary people in Sengkerang Village, Praya Timur District, Central Lombok Regency. This research includes qualitative research. Research subjects were village heads, hamlet heads, religious leaders, traditional leaders, youth and community leaders. The data collection methods used were observation, interview and documentation techniques. The data obtained will be analyzed with an interactive model. The results of this study indicate that the merariq procession of the aristocratic society and the common people includes three stages, namely: First, the custom before the contract in the form of Midang, Midang is a direct visit from the male side to the female side in order to deepen the relationship as well as to tie a deeper relationship. form of marriage. Second, customs in the contract process include a series of Merariq activities, true / true, Pemuput patience / patience, and Nyongkol or nyodol. Third, the customs after the contract, after the sorong doe or nagging and bales lampak nae (reply to the foot marks).

The aim of the article is to form the concept of technology for determining the permeability and porosity properties of terrigenous reservoirs using mathematical modeling methods on a digital rock sample model.

Digital rock sample modeling is used to assess geological oil reserves. The article presents the concept of digital rock sample modeling technology, which allows carrying out qualitative investigations to determine the permeability and porosity characteristics of the formation, including modeling the pore space and filtration processes. The essence of the concept is that the simulation model of the microstructure for the digital model is formed on the basis of a large number of parameters obtained during lithological and petrographic investigations of thin sections, a study of the sludge and geophysical investigations of wells.

The acquired model can be used as a basis for subsequent modeling of filtration processes. Conductivity of single channels of the formed model can be calculated using molecular dynamics methods, models of Boltzmann's lattice equations, and other mathematical models and methods.

Based on the results of the study carried out, the application of stochastic packing methods for modeling the structure of the pore space in the digital rock sample model of terrigenous reservoirs is substantiated.

In connection with the development of computer and nanotechnologies and their use in the oil and gas industry, solutions that allow obtaining adequate results of digital rock sample models are of high importance and relevance for the production sector. It is especially important to use digital rock sample models in the study of reservoir rocks of shelf fields in the western part of the Russian Arctic, oil shales, rocks represented by loose weakly cemented reservoirs, and others, which are complex for physical experiments.
Effect of shear stress on the wall of technological pipelines at a gas condensate field on the intensity of carbon dioxide corrosion
Authors: Ponomarev Aleksandr , Yusupov Aleksandr
Published: October 2020

The object of the study is a section of the gas and gas condensate collection system, consisting of an angle throttle installed on a xmas tree and a well piping located after the angle throttle. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of the flow velocity and wall shear stress (WSS) on the carbon dioxide corrosion rate in the area of interest and to come up with substantiated recommendations for the rational operation of the angle throttle in order to reduce the corrosion intensity.

In the course of solving this problem, a technique was developed and subsequently applied to assess the influence of various factors on the rate of carbon dioxide corrosion. The technique is based on a sequence of different modeling methods: modeling the phase states of the extracted product, three-dimensional (solid) modeling of the investigated section, hydrodynamic flow modeling of the extracted product using the finite volume method, etc. The developed technique has broad possibilities for visualization of the obtained results, which allow identifying the sections most susceptible to the effects of carbon dioxide corrosion.

The article shows that the average flow velocity and its local values are not the factors by which it is possible to predict the occurrence of carbon dioxide corrosion in the pipeline section after the angle throttle. The paper proves that WSS has prevailing effect on the corrosion intensity in the section after the angle choke. The zones of corrosion localization predicted according to the technique are compared with the real picture of corrosion propagation on the inner surface of the pipe, as a result of which recommendations for the rational operation of the angle throttle are formed.
