Development of eddy-current decelerators for uST transport complexes of the “second level”
Authors: Unitsky Anatoli  E. , Kuzmin Igor  A. , Popko Sergey  S. , Lobazava Iryna  E.
Published: October 2023

In case of emergency situations and when a uPod (an unmanned electric rail vehicle on steel wheels) approaches the areas of stopping, parking and enters sharp turns at high speeds, mechanical braking cannot always guarantee a safe stop of the electric rail vehicle under such weather conditions as rain, icing of the track, as well as wear of components in the braking system. The eddy-current decelerators (ECD) developed by the authors make it possible to solve this problem by minimizing the number of wear products, since the braking force arises due to the interaction of magnetic fields, while there is no mechanical contact in such a braking system.
Aim: Development of a non-volatile ECD, the design of which ensures stable operation without imposing increased requirements on the accuracy of vehicle positioning.
Materials and Methods: The article presents studies of samples of eddy current moderators with tires made of various materials and the layout of magnets. Confirmation of the experimental data was carried out using the ANSYS Maxwell computer model - the finite element method.
Results: The article presents ECDs with an optimal relative arrangement and orientation of magnets in combination with magnetic cores, developed and confirmed by mathematical modeling, confirmed by field tests and experiments.
The designed ECD (option No. 2) develops the required force and, unlike the ECD (option No. 1) with the classical layout of the magnetic system, is capable to operate at inaccurate positioning of a uPod in both horizontal and vertical planes.
Conclusion: The developed prototypes of ECD sections will be used in passive safety systems as an energy-independent rolling stock retarder in urban, as well as in high-speed and hyper-speed transport and infrastructure complexes uST in relation to any natural and climatic conditions of our planet.

Assessment of occupational safety risks at work is a requirement of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, which is regulated by international standards. For quantitative risk assessment, it is proposed to use qualimetric methods. It is proposed to obtain estimates of hazardous factors on a dimensionless scale using the error function (erf). Knowing the density function of the law of distribution of random variables of quantitative values of negative factors, the density function of their estimates on a dimensionless scale was obtained. Functionally dependent statistics were obtained. The density function makes it possible to determine the risk of a hazardous factor score falling into the hazardous assessment interval.

Increasing productivity is all factories want to do. The purchase of new and modern machines requires a huge amount of cost and trained human resources. Meanwhile, traditional machines have the advantages of low investment costs, efficiency in roughing machining, and low labor costs. However, one of the disadvantages of traditional machines is that the machining surface is poor, and tool wear occurs more frequently. To overcome these disadvantages, a proposed solution is to digitize traditional machines. The authors have implemented a digitizing project on a milling machine by connecting a motor controller and sensors, reading and transmitting data to the center, and displaying it. The information obtained will help improve the machining process and limit the risk of failure.

The article shows how the drive modelling depending on the required output information, focusing on the machine tool area. In this way, the simulation process can be optimally set up and the output information from the model environment can be used efficiently. From the selection of input parameters to the detail and accuracy of the output values of the model itself. Many authors are dealing with digital twins of production machines. However, they treat the actual drive part of the machine tool as a black box. However, its function occupies a significant part in the creation of such a model. On the other hand, the second part of the authors focus specifically on the actuator modeling, but they do not consider the methodological approach according to the need of output information. This is related to the negative impact on the impracticality of deploying such models in real applications.

Resiliencia climática con enfoque de género: el kit de herramientas de Proadapt
Authors:   Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo
Published: October 2023

Hombres y mujeres se adaptan de forma distinta a los impactos del cambio climático. La mujer es desproporcionadamente más vulnerable a las alteraciones climáticas en múltiples dimensiones y estas pueden exacerbar las brechas ya existentes dentro de un sistema socio-ecológico. Sin embargo, muchos de los instrumentos utilizados en proyectos para la resiliencia climática ya existentes se enfocan en sectores específicos como la agricultura, la energía o la agroforestería; sin tocar explícitamente el tema de Igualdad de Género. Proadapt, al tanto de la problemática, desarrolló un kit de herramientas que ayudará a los proyectos a que aborden la variabilidad climática con un enfoque de género. A continuación, se presenta una breve guía de los componentes que el instrumento propone para analizar e intervenir dentro de un proyecto de resiliencia climática inclusivo, sin embargo, es importante aclarar que los ejemplos de cómo Proadapt lo ha implementado y actividades específicas que pueden ser replicadas.

Published: October 2023

This paper studies the effects of automation of production on labor market outcomes, and whether there is an effect of automation on functional and personal inequality in Latin America. The paper combines several data sources and empirical strategies in order to approach the issues from different perspectives and to cover different dimensions of labor markets. The main issues that we focus on are: i) the hypothesis that industries with a higher share of workers performing routine tasks are more likely to be affected by automation, using indexes of task routinization by occupation; and ii) the effects of automation on industry and local labor share, employment, wages, personal inequality and poverty. We focus on seven Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, during the period 1992-2015.
The formation of epoxycyclooctane by the simultaneous oxidation of cyclooctene and alkylbenzenes
Authors: Kuznetsova N. I. , Zudin V. N.
Published: October 2023

The oxidation of cyclooctene by oxygen was performed simultaneously with ethyl benzene or cumene. Hydroperoxides of alkylbenzenes formed in situ under the action of radical initiator Fe(acac)3 /NHPI were consumed for the epoxidation of cyclooctene in the presence of MoO3 /SiO2 catalyst. The mutual influence of two catalysts of different nature was studied; the temperature and the amount of cyclooctene and MoO3 /SiO2 catalyst, which were favorable for the formation of epoxycyclooctane and allowed retaining sufficient activity of the radical catalyst in the oxidation of alkylbenzenes, were determined. Cyclooctene was affected only slightly by the radical oxidation during the joint oxidation and was converted to epoxycyclooctane with the selectivity above 90 %.

The possibility of complete hydrodeoxygenation of sunflower oil at temperatures 320–350 °C, pressure 4 MPa, and mass flow rate 1 h–1 with the yield of liquid products 75–82 % was demonstrated. The fraction of isoalkanes and the yield of products from direct hydrodeoxygenation increase with the concentration of Broensted acid sites in the catalyst in the following series: 1%Pt/Al2O3-ZSM-22 < < 1%Pt/Al2O3-ZSM-12 < 1%Pt/Al2O3-ZSM-23 < 1%Pt/Al2O3-SAPO-11.
Хештегирование в рекламных текстах международных глянцевых журналов
Authors:   Bunin Yelets State University, Selemeneva Olga A.
Published: October 2023

Статья посвящена особенностям процесса хештегирования и функционирования хештегов в печатной рекламе. Актуальность выбранной темы обусловлена, с одной стороны, интересом, проявляемым лингвистами к проблеме композиции креолизованного рекламного текста, словесным и несловесным средствам экспликации явных и скрытых смыслов, единицам языковой компрессии, с другой – малоизученностью вопроса специфики процесса хештегирования, типов и функций конкретных хештегов в креолизованных рекламных текстах. Источниками исследования послужили российские издания международных журналов за 2019–2022 гг.: «Tatler», «Elle Decoration», «Cosmopolitan», «Men’s Health», «Elle», «Esquire», «GQ» и др. Для интерпретации и систематизации фактического материала применялись коммуникативно-прагматический и описательный методы, а также метод количественного анализа. Полученные результаты можно сформулировать в виде нескольких тезисов: 1) функционируют хештеги преимущественно в тех типах креолизованных текстов, где ведущую роль играет иконический компонент (аддитивных и изобразительно-центрических); 2) хештеги рекламного дискурса глянцевых изданий не отличаются тематическим разнообразием и представляют три группы: «Одежда, обувь, аксессуары премиум-класса», «Парфюмерно-косметические товары глобальных брендов», «Ювелирные изделия и часы известных марок»; 3) занимая сильную позицию в композиции креолизованного рекламного текста, хештеги нередко функционально сближаются со слоганами; 4) процесс хештегирования в анализируемых текстах отличается рядом особенностей (использование однокомпонентных, двух- и трехкомпонентных хештегов; факультативность подчеркиваний; доминирование в графическом облике хештегов латиницы, а не кириллицы; редкость языкового смешения; активность хештегов-словосочетаний и хештегов-предложений). Автор приходит к выводу, что хештеги в рекламной коммуникации международных журналов отличаются
Directive constructions in educational video blogs: a study of cross-cultural features
Authors:   Kuban State University, Khoutyz Irina P.
Published: October 2023

As videoblogging has become a universal, personalized, and affordable form of communicating diverse content to a wider public, educational video blogs (vlogs) have been gaining popularity as a new medium for self-presentation, information sharing and creating a friendly learning environment. The aim of this research is to uncover cross-cultural features of the use of directive speech acts in educational vlogs in Russian and in English. Directive constructions have been actively studied before due to their complex multifunctional character revealed in different kinds of settings. It has been established that directive speech acts promote clarity and addressee’s engagement in the information flow. To see how directive constructions are used in the analyzed videos, the transcripts of the videos chosen for the study were scrutinized by means of pragmatic and contextual methods. Then lexico-grammatical patterns of directive constructions, identified in these videos, were systematized, classified and statistically processed. It was discovered that the vloggers in both languages, as they become more experienced, tend to use more directives in their discourse. In Russian, explicit imperative constructions are more actively used. Whereas in English, less impositive and solidarity directives prevail. The conclusion is made that directive speech acts promote clarity and dialogue in educational vlogs, yet their types depend on cultural traditions of institutional communication.

The aim. Study of the ecological state of the Voronezh reservoir under conditions of “blooming” of water by cyanobacteria. Materials and Methods. EEvaluating water quality data of hydrochemical analysis, assessment of suspended solids distribution and temperature in the water area, materials of hydrobiological study (phytoplankton), microcystin content in water have been taken into account. Results and Discussion. The direction of anthropogenic changes occurring in the ecological state of the reservoir has been traced for 2016–2022. The irreversible effects associated with water quality deterioration were clearly evident under the influence of abnormally high summer air temperatures in 2010–2012, accompanied by the massive development of water “blooms”. This has had irreversible consequences, as an ecological regression has finally taken shape in most of the water area. At present, including 2022, there is a prolonged summer-autumn “bloom” of waters, the associated with it an increase in the volume of organic matter, formation of aquatic toxicity due to cyanotoxins produced by cyanobacteria. For this period we have evaluated the distribution of the relative content of suspended solids and water temperature. Conclusion. The prognosis ofwater quality transformation is unfavourable, as it is accompanied by a directed ecologicalregression of the reservoir ecosystem, and is emphasized by intensive “blooming” of waters. For their rehabilitation, a biotechnological method of algolisation can be recommended.
Scheming of socio-economic development of Russian regions: Problems of multi-scale scenario planning
Authors:   Saratov State University, Preobrazhenskiy Yuri V.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Regional development in the last year and a half has faced new challenges related to the limitations of foreign economic relations, which poses the task of revising forecasts of socio-economic dynamics in the subjects of the Russian Federation. Such a task can be solved only by applying a deductive approach: combining development scenarios at different taxonomic levels. Theoretical analysis. Since the subject ofthe Russian Federation is an intermediate(betweenmacro- andmicro-level) link,the development oftheregionalsystem is determined by exogenous and endogenous processes. Of great importance are the properties of its stability and the effectiveness of adaptation to changing conditions. These properties are largely related to the complexity and diversity of the region’s industry, as well as its reproductive processes. This determines the importance of multi-scale scenario planning, as well as taking into account the spatial features of regional development. Conclusions. In general, in the scenarios of the economic development of the country as a kind of generalized sum of the development of the Russian regions, the differentiation of the latter by some signs is either not expressed at all, or is poorly expressed. The effectiveness of socioeconomic development in the regional context will largely be determined by the use of a multi-scale approach when working out alternative scenarios taking into account the spatial component.

Diverse content of numerous paradigms influences both, the methodology of bringing up educational issues and solving every-day practical tasks of the educational process. The purpose of the article is to reveal certain signs of the anthropological paradigm and indicate whether it is possible to develop them in professional education. It is mentioned that the dominant educational paradigm is set in accordance with the pattern of the society. Differing approaches to define the number and the content of paradigms in education are compared. It is shown that opposing classical paradigm (in all its variations) to the humanistic one is counter-productive. The idea of the anthropological paradigm having potential to bringing them together is expressed. Some signs of the anthropological paradigm are defined. They are the shift from information to knowledge, technology-advanced professional activity, and virtual occupation. It is shown that the signs mentioned are found in professional education. The conclusion is drawn that in accordance with the inner logic of the system development these spot changes, caused by the signs mentioned are to become the areas of the system’s growth.

The relevance of the study is due to the poor development of the problem of professional self-realization of IT specialists. The specificity of the professional activity of this category of employees imposes special requirements on their individual psychological characteristics, which ensure the success of self-realization of specialists engaged in information and computer activities. Purpose: to identify the specifics of self-realization of IT professionals with different individual typological features. Hypothesis: a set of certain individual-personal characteristics forms different individual-psychological types of IT specialists, which act as a prerequisite for professional self-realization of the subject of this profession. Participants: employees of leading Russian IT companies (Moscow) (N = 154) – 42 women and 112 men aged 22 to 44 (average age 32.09±5.71). Methods (tools). To study the individual and personal characteristics of IT specialists, the following were involved: “IndividualTypological Questionnaire – ITQ” (L. N. Sobchik), “Personality Questionnaire – EPI” (G. Eysenck), questionnaire “Strategies for Coping with Stressful Situations - SACS” (S. Hobfall). When identifying the specifics of self-realization of IT specialists with different individual typological features, the “Multidimensional Questionnaire of Personal Self-Realization” (S. I. Kudinov) was used. Results: it was found that such characteristics as “anxiety”, “sthenicity”, “extraversion” and “lability” are leading ones in the structure of individual traits of IT-specialists. The dominant coping strategies of IT-specialists are “entering into social contact”, “search for social support”, “cautious actions”. As a result of cluster analysis, three types of individuality of IT-specialists were identified and characterized: “introverted-confident”, “extroverted-active”, “extraverted-prosocial”. According to the results of a comparative analysis the data on the configuration of the types of self-realization in each cluster are presented. It has been established that specialists of the “introverted-confident” type demonstrate the highest rates in all types of self-realization: personal, social and professional. This allows us to consider this type of personality as the main predictor of effective self-realization of IT specialist’s personality. Main conclusions: 1) there is a certain specificity in the manifestation of self-realization of IT specialists with different individual typological features; 2) the practical significance of the study is emphasized in the context of psychological support for the professional self-realization of IT specialists, taking into account their personal characteristics.

Authors: ADU Rısna Ernı Yatı , GELYAMAN Gebhardus Djugian
Published: October 2023

In the present paper, two natural photosensitizers extracted from red onion peels have been experimentally studied to sensitize the photovoltaic cells. The two natural dyes were prepared overnight, soaking the red onion peel powder in distilled water without acidification (UW) and acidified water (AW). Dye characteristics were identified by UV-vis Spectrophotometer and FT-IR Spectrophotometer. The cell performance was assessed by calculating the produced voltage and current by multi-meter. Red onion peel dyes absorb visible light at a wavelength of 507 nm and promote electron transfer into the porous semiconductor surface. A higher power conversion efficiency (η=0.0535 %) was featured by an unacidified solvent with a short circuit current density (Jsc) of 0.96 mA.cm-2, an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 338 mV and a fill factor of 0.2576. This paper presents a fascinating preliminary study to develop renewable and sustainable energy sources using bulky biowaste.

A Tradição Sofista em Paulo Freire
Authors: Da Silva Tatiane , Da Cunha Marcus Vinicius
Published: October 2023

Este artigo procura mostrar que as concepções filosóficas e educacionais do pensador brasileiro Paulo Freire pertencem a uma tradição discursiva cuja origem remonta aos primórdios da filosofia. Essa tradição denominada retórica teve início com os sofistas que atuaram na Grécia Clássica e deu origem a uma pedagogia cujo propósito é a formação plena do indivíduo para atuar na sociedade por meio de seu potencial criativo, afetivo, comunicativo, ético e político, visando ao bem comum. A primeira parte do artigo apresenta os fundamentos teóricos e as técnicas que compõem essa proposta pedagógica. A segunda parte discute as concepções filosóficas e educacionais freireanas à luz dos conceitos da Sofística.
Location, market orientation, and firm performance: An analysis of the Colombian healthcare industry
Authors: Amézquita Juan C , Puig Francisco , Royo-Vela Marcelo
Published: October 2023

In the Latin American healthcare industry, there seems to be an association between the implementation of the marketing strategies and the firms' location that suggests the need to study the organizational performance under these aspects. To this end, this paper contrasts the relationships between an organization's market orientation (MO), its location (for example, within a service cluster), and performance. The quantitative analysis was carried out among managers' perceptions from 134 service companies belonging to the healthcare service companies operating in the city of Cali, Colombia. The results showed a positive association between being located in a service cluster and business performance. It was also shown that the strategic approach based on OM positively affects performance. Moreover, we noted that competitors' orientation is the only component of the OM construct that significantly influences performance. The conclusions of our study allow for guiding the strategic decision-making of the managers of these companies regarding the decisions of location and content of marketing strategies.
Institutional trust and entrepreneurs' export behavior: An international analysis
Authors: De Anda Felipe , Baker Juan Carlos , Tovar-García Edgar Demetrio
Published: October 2023

The main goal of this research is to test the association between trust in institutions—e.g., police, law courts, property rights, government regulations, and public and private organizations—and entrepreneurial internationalization. The longitudinal analysis uses data obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), the Heritage Foundation Index of Economic Freedom (IEF), World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), and World Development Indicators (WDI) for a sample of 88 countries during 2013-2018. Using factor analysis and panel data techniques that control for potential endogeneity, institutional trust is found to be significantly correlated with internationalization; however, this result is only valid for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries. Therefore, entrepreneurs from developing economies have to overcome the lack of institutional trust to successfully carry out their internationalization process.
Conceptualizing digital transformation using semantic decomposition
Authors: Rojas-Segura Javier , Faith-Vargas Margie , Martinez-Villavicencio Jose
Published: October 2023

Economic and social disruption generated by COVID-19 increased research on digital transformation processes; however, consensus about the formal conceptual definition of digital transformation is yet to be reached. A concise and clear concept built using existing definitions in literature is needed for empirical research in the business and management fields. Using semantic decomposition method to systematically decompose the extant definitions collected from the business literature, this study proposes the following formal conceptual definition of digital transformation: “a process that aims to improve society by triggering significant changes to the enterprise business model using digital technologies”. Consistent measurable properties caused by a formal conceptual definition support academic research and enable practitioners to exploit new knowledge essential when adapting the firm’s business model to the new digital reality.
Cálculo de la generación de biogás por el método de digestión anaerobia a partir de biomasa extraída de la central de abasto de Ecatepec, Estado de México
Authors: Martínez-Rodríguez María Concepción , Campos-Villegas Lorena Elizabeth , Piña-Garrido Brandon
Published: October 2023

La Central de Abasto de Ecatepec es el centro de comercio más grande que se encuentra en el municipio y alberga aproximadamente 700 negocios se trabajó con una población de 84 cuyos productos en venta principales son frutas, verduras, carnes, abarrotes, dulces, flores, entre otras cosas, generando alrededor de 18 toneladas de residuos diarios, siendo el 44% del tipo orgánico. Estos residuos son depositados en contenedores y después transportados a tiraderos de basura, perdiéndose así todo tipo de aprovechamiento energético. Con la finalidad de aprovechar y visibilizar la capacidad energética de esos residuos, así como fomentar el uso y aprovechamiento de las energías verdes,  se ha realizado la presente investigación la cual tiene el objetivo de calcular la valoración de energía que se puede obtener mediante la generación de metano a partir de los residuos sólidos orgánicos acumulados en un biorreactor de tanque discontinuo a través del método de digestión anaerobia en la zona de la Central de Abasto de Ecatepec de Morelos. Bajo las condiciones adecuadas y el uso del biorreactor indicado, la biomasa generada en la zona de estudio puede llegar a producir hasta 517.67 kWh, un valor que, aunque no alcance a cubrir la demanda actual de energía en la zona, representaría un 22% en el aprovechamiento de las energías limpias en la central de abastos de Ecatepec, Estado de México.
Valor del peso específico del cemento para diseño de concretos
Authors: Obando-Angulo Victor Manrique
Published: October 2023

Generalmente cuando se realiza un diseño de concreto se utiliza el valor de peso específico para transformar volúmenes a masas y viceversa. Para el cemento el valor estándar de este parámetro es de 3,18, pero estudios realizados indican que este valor es muy variable según la composición del cemento. En el presente artículo, se exhibirán los resultados experimentales obtenidos al dosificar concretos bajo la metodología ACI-211.1-91, utilizando cementos mixtos adicionados como el tipo MM/B(P-C)-28, el cual tiene adiciones de puzolanas, caliza y yeso. La metodología está basada en cementos puros con factores clinker de hasta 95% que en el caso del cemento utilizado este factor posee un valor entre el 65% y 79%. Con base al esquema experimental planteado, se logró determinar que el peso específico de los cementos varía según su composición; factor directamente ligado a sus adicciones. En este caso se llegó a la determinación que para un diseño de concreto siempre se debe verificar el valor de este parámetro, ya que al pasar de pesos a volúmenes esa diferencia en el valor se refleja en una proporción mayor o menor del cemento requerido. Este parámetro que generalmente se asume como 3,18 varía según el tipo de cemento; por ejemplo, en el cemento tipo MM/C (P-C)-28 este valor es de 2,81, por lo que al pasar una dosificación de 100 m3 de concreto de masas a volúmenes esto puede implicar un sobredosificación de hasta 100 sacos de cemento, lo que a su vez significa un aumento en costos y puede provocar problemas asociados como sobre rigidez y alto calor de hidratación.
Estudio de altas densidades de siembra en la producción de maíz (Zea mays) híbrido
Authors: García-López Daniel , Hernández Rafael Alonso
Published: October 2023

El maíz es el principal grano en la dieta mexicana y uno de los granos más importantes a nivel mundial. Sin embargo, debido a su alta demanda, se requieren de estrategias para obtener altos rendimientos en su cultivo. Para ayudar a resolver este problema, se evaluó el efecto de altas densidades de siembra del maíz híbrido AZ-60. Se empleó un diseño de bloques al azar en parcelas para comparar densidades de siembra de maíz en un sistema de riego por goteo y evaluar altura, diámetro de tallo, valores en el fruto y estimación del rendimiento. Se seleccionaron tres densidades de siembra para los tratamientos(T): T1) densidad de 150,000 semillas por hectárea; T2) densidad de 120,000 semillas por hectárea; T3) densidad de 90,000 semillas por hectárea. Durante el periodo de cosecha se determinó que variables como la altura de planta y diámetro de tallo no mostraron diferencias significativas. Sin embargo, en variables de la mazorca como número de hileras, granos por hilera y peso de grano, se observó que los mayores valores se presentaron en la densidad de siembra de 90,000 semillas por hectárea. Como resultado, al estimar el rendimiento de grano se observaron diferencias (p<0.05) entre los tratamientos, observándose el mayor en T3 con 7.55 toneladas por hectárea; por su parte los tratamientos T2 y T1 se estimaron 5.50 y 5.27 toneladas por hectárea, respectivamente. Se concluyó, que las diferencias observadas pueden ser atribuidas al aumento de la competencia intraespecífica por recursos a mayores densidades de siembra.
