السرد في الأدب العربي الحديث (دراسة تحليلية نقدية)
Authors:   دكتوراه الفلسفة في الآداب، شعبة الدراسات الأدبية والنقدية، قسم اللغة العربية وآدابها، جامعة الإسكندرية، دولة الكويت, العنزي عنود
Published: October 2024

يقدم هذا البحث تصوراً عن السرد في الأدب العربي، من حيث المفهوم والآليات. فمن حيث المفهوم ننظر في طبيعة السرد بين الفنون الأخرى، وأنواعه وتعدد مستوياته. أما من حيث آلياته فتركز المادة على العناصر البنائية المشتركة بين النصوص السردية. وسنركز بشكل خاص على القصة القصيرة والقصة القصيرة جداً. وفي جانب آخر تسعى المادة لربط هذا التصور باستقبال القارئ للنص السردي، وكيف يؤثر استقباله في التفاعل مع النص فالنتاج الحقيقي للغة يكون محفوظًا على شكل الأدب، ويُقسم هذا الأدب إلى قسمين: الأدب الخيالي والأدب غير الخيالي، فالأدب الخيالي هي الكتابة التي يصنعها الأديب من أحداث مخيلته فهي بعيدة عن الواقع بعض الشيء، أما الأدب غير الخيالي فهي الكتابة التي تنقل الواقع بعيدًا عن الخيال فهي أقرب إلى الحقيقة، ومن رحم الأدب الخيالي تولد السرديات فمعظم الأدب الخيالي هي كتابات سردية، مثل: الروايات، القصص القصيرة، المسرحية والشعر أيضًا، أمّا الأدب غير الخيالي فيتمثّل في المقالة والتاريخ والتراجم والسِّيَر. وتكمن أهمية البحث من أهمية السرديات التي تعكس الحياة الإنسانية الواقعية في تجارب الناس وتوفر لهم تجارب تتيح لهم فهم المشاعر الإنسانية والتشابهات الشخصية، كما أن السرديات الأدبية تقدم المعلومات عن العالم والمجتمعات والثقافات الأخرى، اتبع البحث المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، وتناول في المبحث الأول مفهوم السرد والبنية السردية، وفي المبحث الثاني الحياة الأدبية في الإسكندرية تناولت فيه الباحثة القصة القصيرة من خلال مجموعة شظايا، ومفهوم القصة القصيرة جداً، وختاماً تؤكد الدراسة أن السرد يخضع للمفاهيم الأجناسية الكبرى، حيث يعد السرد جنسا وكل ما يتفرع عنه هو نوع. ومن الأنواع ما هو قديم كالملحمة والسيرة الشعبية والحكاية والخرافة والأسطورة والأمثولة والمقامة، ومنها ما هو حديث كالقصة والرواية والمسرحية والفيلم والسينما.
Dilemma between Economic Incentives and the Public Provision of Welfare: SER Trade-offs in China’s economic development and its healthcare reforms, 1979~2022
Authors: Zheng Yutong
Published: October 2024

China experienced drastic economic development over the past decades, beginning with its Open-Door policy in the 1980s which led to its entrance into the world capitalist liberal trade economy. Throughout the process, both the public and private sectors underwent substantial structural reforms and transformations which led to changes in the citizens’ lives in relation to their access to social welfare and services. As a country that has ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), China’s healthcare system will be examined in this paper under the extent to which it has fulfilled the state’s obligations discussed by the ICESCR regarding the principles of substantive equality and non-discrimination. A comparison will be made between rural and urban areas’ healthcare provisions, and the population of rural migrant workers who work in urban areas will be of special concern.

Published: October 2024

Ubud, one of two sub-districts in Gianyar Regency, Bali, has been designated as a Tourism Area under the Regional Regulation of Bali Province. However, it is facing significant environmental challenges. It is of the utmost importance to address these issues in order to achieve sustainable tourism. The government is pivotal in establishing an environment conducive to the growth and sustainability of the tourism industry. This study empirically examines the role of the Ubud government in supporting sustainable tourism. A qualitative approach was employed, incorporating triangulation in the data collection process. Techniques such as interviews, observations, field notes, document analysis, and a literature review were used, and the data was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings suggest that the local government has implemented a top-down management system for sustainable tourism, with its roles encompassing public infrastructure acquisitor, strategic collaborator, policy regulator, and security and safety maintenance.

Зарубежные исследования идентичности человека в эпоху культуры постмодерна
Authors: Растворов Антон Иванович , Емельянова Ольга Борисовна
Published: October 2024

Проблема персональной идентичности в современной культуре является многогранным явлением, требующим тщательного теоретико-методологического анализа. В мире, где культура постоянно меняется и развивается, идентичность уже не является просто отражением национальной или этнической принадлежности. Она становится мозаикой, состоящей из различных фрагментов: социального статуса, религии, языка, культурной принадлежности. Эти фрагменты взаимодействуют между собой, создавая уникальные комбинации идентичности, которые так же уникальны, как и отпечатки пальцев. В исследовании рассмотрены психологические аспекты кризиса идентичности в подростковый период Э. Эриксона; свобода и ответственность в концепции Э. Фромма; самопрезентация другим в работах И. Хоффмана; идея внутреннего диалога в концепции Лифтон; изменение парадигмы роли женщины в обществе Б. Фридан; теория воображаемых ландшафтов А. Аппадурая, сформированных через культурные представления людей; концепция «текучей современности» З. Баумана о гибкости идентичности и культуры; концепции «третьей волны» и «шока будущего» Э.

Challenges Face Exegetists in Rendering Quranic Euphemistic Expressions into English
Authors: Ahmed Almijrab Ramadan
Published: October 2024

The Arab Nomads were infamous for their brutal acts against humanity in the Pre-Islamic Era, also known as the age of ignorance. The introduction of Islam and its teachings by the Prophet Muhammad, who received the Holy Qur'an in Arabic, played a significant role in the transformation of the nomads into a more civilized society during the period of Islamic dominance in the Arabian Peninsula. Arabic is considered one of the most magnificent languages due to the elegance of its words, the sophistication of its grammar, the precision of its structures, and the versatility in expressing various concepts. Despite the fact that the ancestors of the Arabs were ancient people, the Arabs themselves were driven by a strong sense of compassion that extended to all their tribes. The ideas presented were indeed remarkable. In Arabic, euphemisms are used to soften sensitive topics, a linguistic feature shared with other languages. Euphemisms allow individuals to refer to a situation indirectly through the use of figurative language. Arabic encompasses the overarching term بلاغـــة (metonymy), with تـلطيـف (softness) being the most relevant co-hyponym. This study critically analyzes the differences and similarities in the use of euphemistic expressions between Arabic and English, shedding light on the linguistic and cultural aspects of both languages.

Unravelling the Path to Employee Satisfaction: Interplay of Work-Family Dynamics
Authors: Aisha Rehman  , Qadir Alia , Tahir Safdar
Published: October 2024

The study aims to inspect the effect of work stress and work-family conflicts on job satisfaction in the context of institutional work-family support. We collected the data through a self-administered questionnaire of 400 employees working in the banking sector. The study applied AMOS software of SEM to test the hypotheses. The empirical results of the study showed that both work stress and work-family conflicts had significant detrimental effects on job satisfaction. In addition, work-family and institutional supports partially mediated the association between work stress and work-family conflicts on job satisfaction. Hence, to fortify the job satisfaction, the study concluded that institutions must strengthen their support structure in the work and familial context as strategic tools to lessen the detrimental effect of work stress and work-family conflicts. Thus, the present psychological conditions of the empluyees in the context of work stress and work-family conflicts must be taking into account before assigning new tasks.

Authors: S Usha , K Ambika
Published: October 2024

Background: Child development includes the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and end of adolescence period. Childhood is classified into three stages of life which involves early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence. Children might be in special need for support in handling anxiety caused by the disruptive situation. The conditions probably make the situation particularly challenging for young children, which is hypothesized to lead to increased emotional and behavioral problems. The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a lot of anxiety, stress, and grief. These stressors can cause mental health problems for anyone, and they can trigger acute symptoms in persons who already have mental health problems. Methods: The aim of the study is to assess the impact of COVID-19 and lockdown on mental health of school children in selected schools at Mysuru. Research design adopted for the study was descriptive survey design. Non probability convenience sampling technique was adopted to select 50 school children with in the age group of 12 to 15 years. Personal Variable Proforma was used to assess the selected personal variables and Structured Knowledge Questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of school children regarding impact of COVID-19 and lockdown on mental health of school children in selected schools at Mysuru. Conclusion: The results of the present study revealed that majority of the school children had negative impact regarding COVID-19 and lockdown on mental health. Impact of COVID-19 and lockdown on mental health of school children were not found to be significant with the personal variables. The COVID-19 related interruptions need to be focused some key challenges and measures to control and manage COVID-19 crisis. Health care professionals play a vital role in educating and providing basic health care services to the school children.

A Cohort Retrospective Study on Factors Associated with Mortality in Multiple Trauma
Authors: Reza Farahmand Rad
Published: October 2024

Trauma is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide, and a high percentage (50-60%) of trauma patients die from injuries before reaching the hospital. The aim of this study is to investigate the relation of some pre-hospital factors related to the mortality of multi-trauma patients. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, multiple trauma patients referred to the emergency department of our center (a trauma center in the west of Iran) from 2021 to 2022 were included. Demographic and clinical information was collected and recorded using hospital registry information. The collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 25 software. Of 2876 trauma patients included, 2119 cases (73.7%) were men and 757 cases (26.3%) were women. The mean and standard deviation of the age of patients, by gender, in men and women were 20.23 ± 38.63 and 24.01 ± 49.97, respectively. 25 women and 22 men died due to trauma. The most common mode of transportation to the hospital was by private vehicle and ground ambulance with a frequency of 1517 and 1302 respectively. Also, 342 people were injured due to overturning ,748 people were injured due to collision and 1786 people were injured due to other types of trauma. The most common cause was road traffic accidents and falling was the most common second cause of trauma. Based on multivariable logistic regression, the variables of gender, mechanism of Injury and ISS (Injury severity score) had a significant effect on the mortality rate of patients. The most rate of mortality was in elderly women and in vehicle collisions. It seems necessary to conduct focused investigations on how to provide preventive measures in this group of society. Also, in addition to trying to modify factors causing collisions, conducting studies on initial advanced treatment interventions in high-risk patients in the field may reduce the death rate of trauma patients and it’s burden on the health system.
The Constructs of Students’ Logical Thinking in the Problems of Algebraic-Geometric Transformations
Authors: Maryam Shahmohammadi
Published: October 2024

Logical thinking is a cognitive ability that plays a vital role in solving problems. The art of logical thinking is recognizing, selecting, and applying the appropriate reasoning to solve a problem. This study aimed to identify and investigate students’ logical thinking reasoning constructs when they face algebraic-geometric transformations. We used Kenexa tests to measure students’ mathematical logical thinking. The statistical sample size was 380 students from high schools in Tehran, Iran. We applied exploratory factor analysis to identify and examine appropriate indicators and latent factors of logical thinking. The results showed that an adequate number of suggested indicators could identify the reasoning dimensions of students’ mathematical logical thinking, and it can be used as a logical reasoning test in algebraic-geometric transformations. Moreover, the different performance of students in using reasoning strategies indicates that the content of textbooks and the teaching approach in the field of algebraic-geometric transformations should move in a direction that focuses on reasoning skills.

A natural hybrid between rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus and bream Abramis brama from Lake Akersvann, SE Norway
Authors: Pethon Per
Published: October 2024

An examination of 83 cyprinid specimens collected in Lake Akersvann, SE Norway in Sept. 1984 and in June and Sept. 1985 showed these to be natural hybrids between Scardinius erythrophthalmus and Abramis brama. This is the first report from Norway of this hybrid. The colouration in fresh specimens and the morphometric characters described are intermediate between those of the parentals and largely in agreement with previous descriptions of this hybrid. It is suggested that the hybrid is sterile and thus only is present as the F1 generation. It is concluded that interference of young, ripe bream males, - possibly competitively expelled from the bream spawners -, in the shoals of early spawning rudd deficit of males is the main cause for hybridization. A hybrid vigour in early growth is pointed out, but an age dependent decrease in hybrid growth vigour is also indicated.
Diurnal variations in the diet of 0 to 3 years old Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. under semiarctic summer conditions in the Alta River, Northern Norway
Authors: Huru Helge
Published: October 2024

The stomach contents of 0 to 3 year old salmon were investigated throughout a single 20 hour period in each of July, August and September 1981. There was no marked diurnal variation in stomach content of fry, while that of parr indicated nocturnal maxima in all three months. In July and August there was a significant increase from evening to night. In September there was a significant increase from mid night to early morning (0400). The amount of food in the stomachs decreased from July to September during both day and night. There was only a weak correlation between diurnal drift and food content. Chironomidae and Ephemeroptera were the most important food items by volume in July, and Chironomidae in August. Increasing food content during the night in August was mainly caused by increasing content of Chironomidae larvae. Ephemeroptera was the most important food item by volume in September. Increasing food content during night in September was mainly caused by Ephemeroptera. The number of Chironomidae and Ephemeroptera ingested indicates greater feeding activity during the night in July - August by juvenile salmon in Alta River. The other food items showed only small diurnal variations (by number) in all three months.
S.E.M. observations on plerocercus larvae of Floriceps saccatus Cuvier, 1817 and Molicola horridus (Goodsir, 1841) (Cestoda; Trypanorhyncha) from sunfish (Mola mola)
Authors: Andersen Karin
Published: October 2024

A topographic description of the plerocercus larva of Floriceps saccatus is given. The larva was found to be covered by palmate or paw-like microtriches, not only on the adherent surface of the bothridia as earlier described from adult trypanorhynch cestodes, but all over the plerocercus down to the region of pars proliferus. In the latter region ‘normal’ cestode microtriches were observed. On the surface of the plerocercus larva of Molicola horridus, however, no structure or microtriches were observed due to a true invagination of the scolex part of the larva.
Bird predation on hatchery reared Atlantic salmon smolts, Salmo salar L., released in the River Eira, Norway
Authors: Reitan Ole , Hvidsten Nils Arne , Hansen Lars P.
Published: October 2024

Carlin-tagged Atlantic salmon smolts have been released in the River Eira in western Norway during the period 1961 - 1980. Just after release birds were observed as smolt predators. Each year the river bank was searched for tags and pellets containing tags. This recovery rate varied between 0.0 - 10.8% in a total of 46 smolt releases during 20 years. Predation of smolts was positively correlated with the water discharge in the river, and negatively correlated with the recapture rate of adult salmon, accounting for 14% of the variation in adult recapture rates.
Recoveries of Common Seals Phoca vitulina L. tagged along the Norwegian coast
Authors: Wiig Øystein , Øien Nils
Published: October 2024

A total of 296 Common Seals have been tagged along the Norwegian coast in the period from 1978 to 1987. Thirty six of the tagged seals have been recovered. Twenty six during their first year of life. The seals were recovered of a mean distance of 58 km away from the tagging locality. The furtherst recovery was 340 km away two months after tagging. It is concluded that the Common Seal is not as sedentary as is often believed. This must be taken into consideration when managing Common Seals.
Semelparous whitefish Coregonus lavaretus: do they exist?
Authors: L'Abee-Lund Jan Henning , Kleven Einar , Matzow Dag , Sandlund Odd Terje
Published: October 2024

The life history of the whitefish Coregonus lavaretus population in the eutrophic Lake Temse, Southern Norway, was studied in 1985 and 1986. Growth was intermediate compared to other populations, whitefish attained 13 and 21 cm first and second winter, respectively. The population was dominated (91%) by the age groups 0, 1 and 2. Oldest aged male and female whitefish were 6 and 4 years, respectively. Fishing pressure and emigration could not explain the observed age structure and age at sexual maturity, but evolution towards semelparity and optimal age at sexual maturity could. Restricted spawning areas are suggested as being the principal factor in the development of semelparity in the population of whitefish studied.
Life history of a riverine, resident Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L.
Authors: Berg Ole Kristian , Gausen Dagfinn
Published: October 2024

The Mellingselva river, a tributary of the River Namsen, in central Norway, supports a population of freshwater resident Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), which resembles a parr and which completes its entire life cycle in the river. The maturing females of this population are particularly small-sized (13.6 - 22.8 cm, mean 17.6 cm). They mature at an early age (mean 3.9 years), and have a low fecundity (55 - 190 eggs, median 95 eggs) compared to that of other salmon populations, both nonanadromous and anadromous. The annual mean growth rate after age of two years is about 2.0 cm and the low annual survival rate reflects the poor living conditions in this river. In spite of its small size when adult, this salmon lays large eggs (5.0 mm). This may be a compensatory mechanism that promotes the survival of offspring in spite of the low fecundity and low survival rate of the adults. These life history traits resemble those recorded for both anadromous Atlantic salmon parr and of resident brown trout (Salmo trutta) that live in impoverished rivers.
Data Lineage Strategies – A Modernized View
Authors: Syed Shakir , Nampalli Rama Chandra Rao
Published: October 2024

Data lineage refers to data sources and the data derived from them, along with the transformations that may be acquired from these sources. Data lineage is important to enterprises to understand how certain data was derived and if it is acceptable for use in particular analytical outputs. This could potentially lead to regulatory and compliance issues in many domains. We propose a modernized data lineage strategy that takes into account the modern approach to data management, inclusive of the current metadata stores and logical data structures. We will present specific approaches to modernize the existing data lineage strategies within the data warehousing and data virtualization paradigms. Finally, we will present research directions in the context of big data systems and data brokering for open data. Our modernized view on data lineage will benefit data management professionals, researchers, software and tools developers, and stakeholders who seek to promote open data.
Ubiquitous Hand-Held Device’s Sigma LFSR Driven Security Model
Authors: Datta Atanu , Gupta Somsubhra , Som Subhranil
Published: October 2024

Mobile data security is crucial in modern communication, especially in financial transactions. This paper introduces a data security mechanism for the banking and financial sectors based on the AES algorithm. Hackers often exploit various techniques to intercept, alter, or steal information during these transactions. The primary objective of this work is to identify effective encryption methods to secure data from such attacks during financial transfers. By integrating the AES algorithm into an Object-Oriented Model, with SIGMA LFSR in the pipeline, the proposed system enhances message confidentiality and aims to improve trust in mobile-based online banking, particularly on client-side applications for handheld devices. With mobile phones becoming an integral part of daily life, security concerns surrounding the storage of sensitive credentials on these devices have increased. This research focuses on applying cryptographic techniques to bolster the security of mobile devices.
Health Education in the Bulgarian Schools
Authors:   Medical University – Pleven, Markova Gergana
Published: October 2024

The following article focuses on health education in Bulgarian schools. A systematic health education was conducted during on school term among 71 children on current health issues directly related to the health and health behavior of adolescents. The following methods are used: traditional (lectures, conversations, discussions, individual tasks), non-traditional (debate) and interactive (role-playing games, sports activities, educational film and others) pedagogical methods aimed at developing skills in adolescents in order to recognize and avoid health risk factors. The application of non-traditional and interactive methods of health education in schools in accordance with children’s age and interests is effective, which was proved by a comparative analysis of the level of knowledge and point of view of the particular group before and after the education. It is necessary to introduce the methods during the education.

Evaluating a new carer support pathway in an older people’s mental health and dementia inpatient service
Authors: Mortimer Esme , McPherson Grace
Published: October 2024

A lack of support for informal carers and family members was identified within an older people’s mental health and dementia inpatient service. To address this gap a carers’ support pathway which offered low intensity psychological support for carers and family members was piloted and later evaluated using thematic analysis. The themes identified that the pathway may be effective in supporting carers by allowing a space for them to voice their needs and feel understood and listened to. Therefore, the carers’ support pathway met the intended aims but did raise challenges around implementing pathway-based support for carers in older people’s inpatient services more widely.
An evaluation of activities and intervention approaches in an acute dementia setting
Authors: Gordon-Brown Alexandra , Sawyer Laura , Evans Kirby , Neilan Natasha , Tebby Katie , Martin Kate
Published: October 2024

Background:Recommended interventions for dementia prioritises person-centred care and non-pharmacological approaches. The evidence-base for various therapies such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), music therapy and sensory based interventions has been growing in recent years; however, there is limited guidance surrounding best practice for working with advanced dementia in acute settings, and research regarding the evaluation of ward interventions is scarce.

Method:An audit checklist was compiled from the current recommendations and evidence base. Observations of structured activity sessions were conducted across two acute dementia wards to identify how well these aligned with evidence-based recommendations.

Results:Our results suggest that activity sessions on the wards align to the evidence base. Specifically, the wards offer high quality interventions integrating CST approaches. It was revealed that the capturing of these interventions was limited within the clinical notes systems, and an action plan to facilitate efficient capturing was identified and initiated.

Conclusion:The study found that it is possible to offer evidence-based activity sessions in an acute setting, for patients with typically advanced dementia presentations. Staff feedback led to the production of a poster to help staff identify the interventions they implicitly use as part of their role, aiming to encourage staff to be proud of their work on the ward and be more aware of evidence-practice links.

In this paper, we consider a silicon solar cell (SC) with an antireflection coating made of porous multicrystalline silicon, deposited by electrochemical anodization to the n-layer of the p-n-junction. The minimum of the reflection spectrum of porous μ-Si with an increase in the etching anodization current density shifts to the short-wavelength region, and also the grain boundaries of the surface of multicrystalline silicon are actively passivated by hydrogen bonds: SiH, SiH2 , SiH3. It is shown that the photosensitivity of μ-Si SC samples with porous μ-Si in the short-wavelength region in the range of 400-600 nm is higher due to low surface reflection in comparison with the initial sample. It is shown that the use of a modified etchant made it possible to increase the plant efficiency of the SC from 13.5% to 16% due to the porosity of the layer. The output parameters of the obtained solar cell are shown.

The specificity of sports nutrition lies in the fact that a person uses various carbohydrate, protein and vegetable drinks to restore the body after physical activity. Currently, in the sports nutrition market of the CIS countries, including our country, products from other countries account for more than 95%. Because of this, the prices of sports products are very expensive. Therefore, the development of sports nutrition products containing highly digestible protein products for the body based on plant raw materials is very relevant. At the same time, the development of these products based on legumes, in particular, their peas and soybeans, is the most acceptable. In addition, pea protein can be used to build muscle mass - due to the high level of L-arginine contained in it, the protein stimulates the secretion of human growth hormone, which is involved in the regulation of growth, metabolism and muscle mass. This article presents materials on the relevance of the development of new formulations of protein - fortified products for sports nutrition in Kazakhstan.

In Kazakhstan, the basis of the country's food security is livestock products. Increasing the production of livestock products is impossible without creating a strong feed base, high-quality preparation of feed, rational use and reduction of feed losses. Preparation of coarse stem feed for feeding requires grinding with feed grinding and mixing machines to obtain balanced feed mixtures. The grinding process is complicated by the fact that, along with coarse stem feed, foreign solid impurities enter, which damage the cutting organs of machines and cause a long shutdown of the entire feed preparation line, disruption of the feeding schedule, and reduction in animal weight gain and milk yield. These problems are of particular relevance in the development of small farms with a low level of mechanization. The authors have developed a device for separating foreign solid impurities from coarse stem feeds, the novelty of which is confirmed by a patent for an invention of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article theoretically substantiates the influence of the design and operating parameters of the separating device for cleaning stem feed from foreign solid impurities. To separate foreign solid impurities from bound materials, such as stem feed, the most effective are separators with working bodies in the form of an air flow. In separators of this type, differences in the totality of physical and mechanical properties are used to separate foreign impurities from stem feeds. This approach makes it possible to achieve better separation by mechanical devices and expect their development towards the use of as many combinations of the distinctive properties of the separated components as possible.

Climatic-soil conditions of Kazakhstan allows to produce demanded grain at the international level. However, as a result of low technologies for land cultivation and application of mineral fertilizers, soil fertility decreasesin the production of grain. There is only one way that raises the low fertility of the soil is transfer of missing elements, that is, the application of mineral fertilizers. In the application of minimum and zero technologies of grain production, it is not provided for the introduction of the main amount of mineral fertilizers under the ground and such machines are not producedin the market of agricultural machinery of the CIS countries. At the request of farmers, the production of their subseries has begun.

Published: October 2024

The authors note a significant flaw of two-disc coulters, creating ordinary sowing, and offer a new technology of sowing. Technological schemes of ordinary sowing and grain seeder Sz-3,6 with improved two-disc coulters and the principle of operation are discussed further in the article. The new technology of ordinary sowing ensures good contact of seeds with the bottom of the groove and uniformity of seed placement in depth, which contributes to the friendly emergence of seedlings, further development of plants and, as a result, an increase in yield. The aim of the work is to increase the yield of grain crops through the use of a new technological process of sowing. To eliminate the identified drawback of the used two-disc coulters, it is proposed to improve its design with an additional clamping plate, which, moving inside the groove formed by the Coulter, presses and pushes the seeds to the bottom and aligns their placement according to the depth of incorporation.
About the issue of cleaning exhaust gases from tpps and metallurgical enterprises from so2: regeneration of carbonate-sulfate melt with natural gas

General concept is proposed for a technology of purifying waste gases of TPPs and metallurgical enterprises from SO2 and CO2 . The fundamental possibility of carrying out the process of regeneration of carbonate-sulfate melt with natural gas is shown. Based on experimental work it has been established that the process of regeneration of a carbonate-sulfate melt with natural gas provides high rates of sulfate reduction and the achievement of maximum up to 99% sulfur recovery from the melt in the form of H2 S. It has been determined that the removal of sulfur from a carbonate-sulfate melt by bubbling with natural gas can be carried out in the operating temperature range of an absorption column for purifying exhaust gases as 500-550 ºС. It is shown that the process of regeneration of a carbonate-sulfate melt with natural gas is a relatively simple one-stage process that proceeds at a high rate. This allows the regeneration column to be integrated with an absorption column where sulfur is captured from the exhaust gases. The removal of sulfur in the form of H2 S provides considerable range of choice in terms of the final commercial product: either sulfuric acid (by dry combustion of H2 S) or elemental sulfur (by the Claus process), both have significant commercial value. The proposed method for the regeneration of a carbonate-sulfate melt simplifies the technology of purifying waste gases from sulfur dioxide with a carbonate melt of alkali metals. Moreover, it can be easily integrated into the general technological scheme of existing metallurgical enterprises without special material and energy costs.

The potential fish productivity of four fishless reservoirs of Western Kazakhstan is estimated for subsequent use in fish farming calculations on similar fishery reservoirs of the region. Potential fish production was determined by the biomass of feed zoobenthos. In parallel the productivity of carp as main object of extensive aquaculture was evaluated in the lake-commercial fish farms. The obtained values of potential fish production in the reservoirs deprived of ichthyofauna equaled to 72 kg per ha for the reservoirs of West Kazakhstan and 37 kg per ha for the Aktobe region. The productivity of carp grown in extensive aquaculture in the West Kazakhstan region in the first year of cultivation amounted to 75 kg per ha.

The drive mechanism of the rocking machine, comprising a base, a crank pair connected to the main articulated four-link mechanism, a balancer support, a two-arm balancer with a front arm and a rear arm, characterized in that it has a connecting rod consisting of two triangular contours, which is pivotally connected to the rear arm a two-arm balancer and with a rocker arm, and the front triangular contour, which serves as the front arm of the connecting rod, is connected to the suspension point of the column rods, and the counterweight is fixed on the front arm of the two-arm rocker. The technical result is achieved by the fact that a two-link group is attached to the main four-link mechanism, forming a class III mechanism. The attached two-drive group is the leading crank connected to the rack and connecting rod. The aim of the invention is to develop an optimal design for a balanceless drive of sucker-rod pumping units based on a six-link rectilinearly guiding class III converting mechanism. The main idea is to develop a new small-sized design of the SC based on an unbalanced drive with low metal consumption.
