Published: December 2024

В статье представлен сравнительный анализ флотационных реагентов для обогащения золотосульфидных руд месторождения Маломыр, расположенного в Амурской области. Руды данного месторождения характеризуются сложным вещественным составом, включающим сульфидные минералы, углистое вещество и тонкодисперсное золото, что создает значительные трудности при их флотационном обогащении. Целью работы является экспериментальное исследование флотационного обогащения с целью повышения извлечения золота в концентрат. Для достижения этой цели были поставлены задачи, включающие изучение влияния реагентных режимов и предварительной ультразвуковой обработки руды на эффективность флотации, а также разработку рациональной технологической схемы обогащения. В ходе исследования использовались различные реагенты, такие как собиратели, депрессоры и вспениватели, а также проводились эксперименты на механических флотомашинах. Результаты показывают, что углистое вещество и тонкодисперсное золото оказывают негативное влияние на процесс флотации, приводя к потерям золота в хвостах. Научная новизна работы заключается в комплексном исследовании влияния реагентных режимов и ультразвуковой обработки на показатели флотационного обогащения. Практическая значимость состоит в разработке эффективной технологической схемы, обеспечивающей высокое извлечение золота из руд месторождения Маломыр. Данная работа направлена на решение актуальной задачи повышения эффективности переработки золотосульфидных руд.

The paper presents a comparative analysis of flotation reagents for the beneficiation of gold-sulfide ores from the Malomyr deposit located in the Amur region. The ores from this deposit are characterized by a complex material composition that includes sulfide minerals, carbonaceous matter, and finely dispersed gold, which creates significant challenges during their flotation enrichment. The aim of the study is to experimentally investigate flotation beneficiation to improve gold recovery in the concentrate. To achieve this goal, tasks were set, including studying the influence of reagent regimes and preliminary ultrasonic treatment of the ore on flotation efficiency, as well as developing a rational technological scheme for enrichment. Various reagents such as collectors, depressants, and frothers were used in the research, along with experiments conducted on mechanical flotation machines. The results show that carbonaceous matter and finely dispersed gold negatively affect the flotation process, leading to gold losses in the tails. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the comprehensive study of the impact of reagent regimes and ultrasonic treatment on flotation beneficiation indicators. The practical significance consists in the development of an effective technological scheme that ensures high gold recovery from the ores of the Malomyr deposit. This work is aimed at solving the urgent problem of improving the efficiency of processing gold-sulfide ores.

Представлены результаты начального этапа экспериментальных исследований возможности применения радонометрии для выявления и оконтуривания подземных горных выработок на подработанных территориях. Для обеспечения безопасности строительства и эксплуатации объектов недропользования на подработанных горными работами территориях необходима диагностика геомеханического состояния подстилающего горного массива – выявление и оконтуривание участков, дезинтегрированных в результате сдвижения горных пород. Оптимальным решением данной задачи является использование геофизических методов. Предпосылками для проведения данных исследований являются свойства радиоактивного газа радон и современные представления о формировании геодинамической составляющей поля радоновых эманаций в почвенном воздухе. Зона сдвижения горных пород над выработанным пространством характеризуется чередованием участков растяжения и сжатия. На исследуемой территории выполнены эманационные съемки различной степени детальности, исследования по раздельному определению содержания радона и торона в эманациях. Анализ результатов натурных измерений позволяет сделать вывод о перспективности дальнейших исследований возможности применения радонометрии для изучения подработанных территорий.

The article presents the results of the initial stage of experimental studies of the possibility of using radonometry to identify and delineate underground mine workings in underworked areas. Ensuring the safety of construction and operation of subsoil use facilities in areas underworked by mining operations requires diagnostics of the geomechanical state of the underlying rock massif – identification and delineation of areas disintegrated as a result of rock displacement. The optimal solution to this problem is the use of a complex of geophysical methods. The prerequisites for conducting these studies are the properties of radioactive radon gas and modern ideas about the formation of the geodynamic component of the radon emanation field in the soil air. The zone of rock displacement above the mined-out space is characterized by alternating areas of tension and compression. Emanation surveys of varying degrees of detail, studies on the separate determination of radon and thoron content in emanations were carried out on the study area. Analysis of the results of in-kind measurements allows us to conclude that further research into the possibility of using radonometry to study underworked areas is promising.

The Ins and Outs of Teamworking: When University Teachers, in-Service Secondary Teachers and Pre-Service Teachers Collaborate to Transform Learning
Authors: Masats Dolors , Paula Guerrero
Published: December 2024

Initiatives for teachers’ professional development should rely on the epistemology of practice, that is, be founded on the premise that reflective teachers construct professional knowledge and develop professional skills through practice and through planning, observing or analysing practice. Reflection about teaching action and reflection in teaching action triggers innovation, especially when teachers work together to create the necessary conditions to transform learning. This paper advocates in favour of collaborative action research and innovation as a methodology to promote change in classroom practices. To illustrate this proposal, it presents a case study in which a secondary English teacher from a school which hosts adolescents at risk opens her classrooms to a researcher and a group of pre-service teachers with the objective to reflect upon her own practices and to become an agent of change. Our corpus is made of natural audio-recorded data from the discussions emerging during focus-group sessions held to evaluate the ongoing innovation and interviews to participating secondary students and trainee teachers. The analysis of those interactions will first lead us to reflect upon the challenges of promoting change in the classrooms. Then it will allow us to understand the impact of the experience and argue in favour of a model of teacher education based on team work as a tool to acquire professional skills and guarantee students’ learning success.

Urolithiasis is already one of the oldest, even in pediatric patients. The occurrence of kidney stones is estimated to be 1:20.000 children/year. The medium age of onset is between 5-7 years. Our study aimed to see the characteristic features, predisposing factors, and therapeutic procedures for Kidney stones in children, as well as metabolic abnormalities, especially hypercalciuria. In a retrospective study, we involved 216 patients (46% of them with a family history of kidney stones) in 8 years (from 2010-2018). All patients underwent abdominal ultrasonography and laboratory examination. Male/female ratio was 2.17:1. Diagnostic medium age was 6.44 years. The most frequent symptoms were: back pain at 33.3%, abdominal pain at 19.4%, gross hematuria at 19.4%, microhematuria at 14%, urinary retention at 9.7%, dysuria at 8.3%, vomiting at 11.1%, growth retardation in 4.2%, hypertension in 1.4%, the spontaneous passage of renal calculi in 5.5%. 4.2% of patients were asymptomatic. We found infectious stones in 47.2% of cases. The chemical composition of the stone was studied only in 51% of cases, from which 56% appeared to be calcium oxalate and phosphate stones. We found metabolic abnormalities in 50% of patients. Urolithiasis is a common disease among Albanian children. 50% of patients had metabolic disorders. Calcium-oxalate and calcium-phosphate represent the most frequent types of calculi. Hypercalciuria is the most essential metabolic disorder. Hypocitraturia is the risk factor for calcium urolithiasis. We recommend estimating every child with a stone for metabolic screening.

Published: December 2024

The therapeutic effects of the Morus nigra L. and Morus alba L. fruits can be highlighted by their bioactive principles composition. The paper correlates recognized therapeutic uses of mulberries species in folk medicine with the chemical composition literature data. Phytotherapeutic treatments based on mulberry fruit extracts are highlighted, which have given very good results in many diseases such as, allergies, asthma, gout, rheumatism, chronic fatigue, growth disorders, circulation disorders, hoarseness, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, hepatitis viral stress and exhaustion, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, hypercholesterolemia, gastroduodenal ulcer, prostate cancer. In the present paper, applying specific methods to pharmacognostic studies, active principles have been identified in various concentrations of hydroalcoholic fruits extracts. Could be consider that the indigenous vegetable products Morus nigra L. and Morus alba L. fructus harvested from the Dobrudja area flora, eastern of Romania, region with a favorable climate for the accumulation of vitamins and active ingredients, represents an important source of total phenols, ascorbic acid, citric acid, niacin and riboflavin. The increased content of carotenoids pigments and phenolic compounds emphasize the valuable antioxidant activity, which could be corelated also, with their important minerals content such as, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn. In order for these natural substances to be properly accumulated by the human body, we recommend the second half of June as the optimal harvest period for ripe fruits and using in various phytotherapeutic forms, juices, syrups, teas, or as fresh food fruits.
Considerations on the Liability for Intentional Personal Injury of the Surgeon Who Carries Out Arbitrary Medical-Surgical Treatment: The Italian Case
Authors: Furramani Emanuela
Published: December 2024

The criminal liability of surgeons is one of the most complex and engaging issues in contemporary criminal doctrine and jurisprudence. This study focuses on the surgeon's liability for personal injury for providing medical-surgical treatment without the patient's informed consent. Over the years, Italian doctrine and jurisprudence have recognized that medical-surgical treatment conducted without the patient's informed consent or in the presence of invalid informed consent constitutes a criminal offence, even though the latter is not expressly provided for by Italian Criminal Law. According to the Italian Court of Cassation, medical-surgical treatment integrates the objective and subjective elements of some criminal offences already provided by the Italian Criminal Code, such as intentional personal injury (Article 582 of the Italian Criminal Code), unintentional homicide (Article 584 of the Italian Criminal Code), or private violence (Article 610 of the Italian Criminal Code). The conflicting jurisprudential solutions proposed over the years on the issue generate a series of perplexities about the medical professional's activities, uncertainty about whether the doctor must intervene in particular cases, and, most crucially, which criminal offence should be applied if he intervenes.

Authors: Dervishaj Blerina
Published: December 2024

In the context of the sophistication of financial relationships, investment alternatives, risk and recurrent recent financial crises, human factor has become increasingly important in investor decision-making. Studies on investment behavior of a number of authors at different times and places, encouraged this new widely accepted inter-disciplinary field of finance: Behavioral Finance. In order to understand and explain individual decision making and investment behavior, it is necessary to study behavioral factors which impact it. Various scholars have studied factors of financial behavior and their impact on financial decision making, and in particular a special focus has been given to psychological biases. Usually investors are not aware of their behavioral biases. If investors become conscious of biases they can face, they can act more rationally. This way of thinking might increase the quality of their decision-making. The paper aims to help decision-makers and investors get to know with psychological biases, in order to make better decisions when investing, reducing the chances of being vulnerable to behavioral deviations, as the consequences of individual errors are inevitably reflected at a macro level, causing instability and economic - financial crisis.
Why Blood-Let Out Cupping Therapy is a Highly Biological Clinical Procedure
Authors: Nasrat Abdullah M
Published: December 2024

Aim: Demonstration of the high biological value of blood-let out (BLO) cupping therapy. Review: BLO cupping therapy is defined as withdrawal of blood trapped within the tissues together with the inflammatory toxic mediators which are believed to be functionally obliged to this blood via superficial skin scratching and suction for the purpose of cure and prophylaxis. A fundamental fact in cupping therapy that has been constantly documented is the source of the removed blood during cupping procedures which is the interstitial space not the circulation meaning that it is functionless as the blood functions inside the circulation; in turn cupping therapy should include no harm, it is mandatory even for a healthy individual and that the healthy benefit of cupping therapy is definite. The principal biological benefits of cupping are sero-clearance or clearance of circulation from its undesired elements with protection towards vascular events and withdrawal of the toxic mediators thus guarding against chronic illness; both sero-clearance and withdrawal of toxic mediators are challenges which could not be achieved via any clinical measure. The mechanism in cupping is basically mediated via histamine release due to skin scratching attracting the circulation towards the cupping area and nitric oxide liberation via a shear stress effect due to repeated suction leading both to a highly selective pooling of the whole circulation within a localized sector of the capillary bed over a limited interval. Conclusion: BLO cupping therapy is a clinical procedure with huge biological benefits that could assist the outcomes of medical therapy.

Stress is both physical body oriented and also mind oriented. Both the harmful to the well-being and health of the persons both mental and physical well-being are vital for health. There are so many causative factors for both types of stress mental stress may be brought by so many failure factors for both types of stress. Mental stress may be brought by so many failure factors likes love failure, exam failure, interview failures etc. Though the saying that your present failure is the stepping stone for your future success, many don't realize this and they either blame others or blame their own fate. A person meeting/ encountering successive failures may become either a vagabond or an unfit social element to give botheration to others. Many have hots or poor lot resort to misdeeds in society. The continuation of successive failures make them mentally stressed and they often resort to bad habits like cigarette smoking, drinking alcohols, self-medication, drug use. Always these drug addicts and alcoholics, become a threat to their community specifically and to the whole society generally. Thus a person stressed physically and / or mentally and resorting to bad habits becomes a misfit first to his family and to the society subsequently.

Stunting is still one of the most pressing global health problems. Father involvement in childcare is needed to ensure optimal child growth and development and free the child from stunting problems. Based on transcultural nursing theory, this study analyzes factors related to father involvement in preventing toddler stunting. The study used a cross-sectional approach with a multistage random sampling technique in Jember Regency with a sample of 852 respondents. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The study was conducted for 2 weeks, from August 1, 2024, to August 15, 2024. Statistical tests were carried out using Spearman Rho with a significance of 95% (α <0.05). Statistical analysis showed that technology factors (p-value=<0.001, r score=0.297), religion, spirituality, and philosophy (p-value=<0.001, r score= 0.170; kinship and social (p-value=<0.001, r score= 0.378),  cultural values, beliefs, and lifestyles (p-value=<0.001, r score=0.204); politics and law(p-value=<0.001, r score=0.360);  economics (p-value=<0.001, r score=0.370)—were positively correlated with father involvement in preventing stunting in toddlers. Meanwhile, biological variables (p-value=0.054, r score=0.237) and education level (p-value=-0.067, r score=0.052) did not correlate significantly with the father's involvement in preventing toddler stunting. Current research shows that father involvement in preventing stunting in toddlers is beneficial. Public health nurses can use these results to create health promotion initiatives that encourage fathers to be more involved in child care and prevent childhood stunting. The results of this study can be used to develop health promotion programs to increase father involvement in improving stunting prevention.

Injuries are a cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five. In Indonesia, the prevalence of injuries to children under five in 2013 was 8.5%, and in 2018, it was 8.2%. Injuries to toddlers derive from not-yet-optimal levels of development, high curiosity, lack of gross motor coordination, and the ability to anticipate danger. Nurses can provide anticipatory guidance to parents to increase parental understanding and prevent injuries to toddlers. The research aimed to determine the effect of CIPP on injury prevention in toddlers. The research method used the One group pre and post-test design with the population of all toddlers in the Puskesmas (Community Health Centre) Rajabasa Indah working area. The research sample using Proportional Random Sampling was 120 parents of toddlers. Data collection was done through interviews using screening cards. Data were analyzed using proportions and a T-test. The results of toddler characteristics were male (55.83%), toddler (55.83%), and standard nutritional status (70.8%). The proportion of toddlers who experienced injuries was 41.66%, and the most frequently experienced injuries were falls (37.5%). There was a significant difference in the mean value of knowledge about injury prevention in toddlers (p-value=0.000), environmental modification (p-value=0.000), and injury incidences in toddlers (p-value=0.000) before and after the anticipatory guidance intervention using CIPP. It is recommended to integrate CIPP into toddler health promotion, socialize CIPP with parents, cadres and kindergarten teachers, and develop CIPP-Android based applications.
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) Insensitivity of Aedes aegypti Exposured by Citronella Oil (Cymbopogon nardus)

Aedes mosquitoes are vectors of viruses, namely the dengue virus. Treatment with insecticides is no longer effective if the target mosquito is resistant. Therefore, efforts are needed to overcome the resistance of these mosquitoes. Inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is one way the synthetic insecticide Profenofos works; if AChE is inhibited, acetylcholine accumulation will disrupt the nervous system. Insensitivity to AChE is one mechanism of mosquito resistance to insecticides. Based on this, the problem is formulated as follows: is the increase in susceptibility of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to alphacymethrin, citronella oil, and a combination of both caused by a decrease in the insensitivity of mosquito AChE? This study aims to determine the AChE insensitivity of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to citronella oil, a combination of citronella oil and alphacymethrin 0.03%), compared to the positive control (insecticide alphacymethrin 0.03%). Percentage of mosquito mortality after being held for 24 hours: The results showed no difference between the two groups of mosquitoes without treatment (A) and 100 µL/L citronella oil (B), F count 0.000, Sig. 1.000, significance value <0.05. Exposure to 100 µL/L citronella oil on instar III-IV mosquito larvae did not make mosquitoes more susceptible or more resistant to 0.03% alphacypermethrin insecticide. Based on the absorption value analysis results using the T-test between group A/ without treatment and group B with 100µL/L citronella oil treatment showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.547>0.05 means there is no significant difference between the two groups.

Vodka is an in-demand alcoholic beverage in Eastern Europe, produced from ethyl alcohol that originated via fermentation of raw material rich in carbohydrates. Besides ethanol content, vodka also entails a fixed level of other substances, such as complex esters, aldehydes, fusel alcohols, and methyl alcohol. With the growing number of alcoholic beverage options, it is crucial to identify and verify potentially counterfeit vodkas.
Hence, this investigation aims to collect studies on vodka composition and uncover the falsified products based on their physical and chemical characteristics compared to the original ones, such as alcohol strength, methanol concentration, alkalinity, and mass concentration of complex esters. As the implication of this investigation, the falsified grain vodkas (nearly 97,8 %) have been revealed in the Republic of Armenia. However, none of them has contained hazardous amounts of methanol.
