Living heritage under threat: supporting, protecting and safeguarding traditional crafts (on the example of Kazakh pile carpet weaving)
Authors: Shaigozova Zh. N.
Published: April 2023

According to UNESCO officials, the Urgent Safeguarding Register currently contains 76 elements of intangible cultural heritage whose viability is threatened. Some of them are elements related to traditional crafts. According to the author's field research and interviews with craftsmen from various regions of Kazakhstan, some types of traditional Kazakh crafts are in dire need of urgent protection. Among them are tufted and lint-free carpet weaving, bone carving, production of natural strings for musical instruments, some techniques of jewellery art and others. In this regard, this article analyzes the practice of supporting, protecting and defending traditional crafts in the global context, which will allow not only to get acquainted with modern trends in this field, but also to outline the main points of the traditional crafts protection strategy in Kazakhstan. This aspect is considered by the author through the prism of the Kazakh pile carpet weaving. There is no doubt that the viability of traditional crafts depends on a set of well-designed measures for their protection, including not only financial mechanisms but also the entire promotional infrastructure: from the use of marketing technologies to the development of educational manuals for the education system. The main concentration of the article is focused on the elements included in the List of ICH in need of urgent protection and analysis of practices of support, protection and conservation of traditional crafts in the global context. Geography of the countries that have initiated inclusion of their elements in this list is quite extensive and their experience in this direction seems promising for Kazakhstan. After all, crafts are associated with deeper layers of traditional culture: the worldview, representations, rituals, etc.

Banana is one of the fruits that can thrive in Indonesia. This plant is often found in tropical soils with slightly moist soil conditions. However, banana peels are underutilized and are only disposed of as agricultural waste. On the other hand, the carbohydrate content of banana peels is still quite high, reaching 12.2% so it can be used as raw material for making bioethanol. Carbohydrates in the substrate cannot be directly converted into bioethanol but need to be pretreated first to break down polysaccharides into monosaccharides. In this research, the pretreatment process of carbohydrate hydrolysis from banana peels into reducing sugars is studied. From the studies, the reducing sugar concentration was obtained with banana peels substrate concentration of 20 g/L, 5 M of sulfuric acid concentration, and an optimum hydrolysis time of 70 minutes with the obtained reducing sugar reach 16.82 g/L. Reducing sugar can be converted into bioethanol by fermentation process with S. cerevisiae yeast. It is hoped that these studies can provide an initial impact on the development of alternative energy based on biomass and utilization of banana peel waste.

Published: April 2023

In the present study, drilling tests were carried out on Custom 450 stainless steel workpieces. The influences of control factors (cutting speed-Vc, feed rate-f and drill bit geometry-D) on the drilled holes’ surface roughness (Ra) and on the size of adhering workpiece (AW) to the drill bit was examined. The results obtained from tests designed based on the Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array were analysed using ANOVA and grey relational analyses (GRA). Therefore, the control factors and their levels were optimised simultaneously for the quality characteristics (Ra and AW). In addition, mathematical models were also developed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in order to estimate the quality characteristics. The used drill bits were examined under digital and scanning electron microscopes and EDX analysis was also carried out on the drill bits. The experimental results showed that the Ra and AW increased with increasing the f. It was also seen that increasing the Vc resulted in decrease in the size of adhering layer and that the drill bit wear became clear at the highest Vc of 60 m/min. According to the ANOVA results, the most effective control factor on Ra was f with 93.11% and Vc with 58.14% on AW. GRA analysis revealed that the most influential control factor was the f and that the optimum levels were 60 m/min Vc, 0.005 m/min f and drill bit 4.

A Moravian Rifle Goes to War: Disarming and Arming Pennsylvanians, 1775–1776
Authors: Gordon Scott Paul
Published: May 2023

The travels of a Moravian-made rifle reveal that Pennsylvania armed its troops in 1776 by disarming peaceable citizens. Modern judicial rulings often look to eighteenth century-precedents to insist that it is permissible only to “disarm the dangerous” and that America has “no tradition” of disarming “peaceable citizens.” But when Pennsylvania’s efforts at making new arms in 1775 and 1776 failed, it passed laws to authorize taking arms from anybody who was not using them, including a very substantial number of non-associators, often described as “well-affected,” whom nobody considered dangerous. Innumerable receipts kept on scraps of paper, dispersed in local, county, and state archives, enable us to trace not only the afterlife of a singular Moravian rifle but also the disarmament process itself in which military officers entered a home, lawfully but surely without a warm welcome, and took a musket or rifle that the homeowners considered their property.

Published: April 2023

The creation of powder composite materials with high functional properties, such as maraging steel powders resistant to brittle degradation at negative temperatures, is one of the primary trends of modern material science. These steels are well machined by cutting, easily deformed and subject to heat treatment. The processes of sintering, hot extrusion, heat treatment, and structuring of porous compacts pressed from the maraging PS-H18K10M5Re steel powder obtained by synthesizing complex oxides have been studied. As a result of the research, a technology has been developed for obtaining products from maraging steel powder, including the processes of pressing porous steel powder, sintering compacts, hot extrusion and heat treatment. It is shown that the resulting powder steels are not inferior to the standard ones in terms of their physical, mechanical and technological properties, and in some cases even surpass them.

Published: April 2023

Background: Health insurance usually covers the expenditure during patient hospitalization. To achieve universal health coverage, it is mandatory to cover the middle-income groups under the government health insurance scheme. According to the review of literature, there is very limited knowledge present on health insurance and the factors determining its coverage among this group. Objective: The study was conducted to analyze the coverage of health insurance and its factors among the middle class households in urban areas. Study design: It is a community based study. This study was conducted on 210 participants attended the community medicine department of our hospitals for the duration of one year from November 2021 to October 2022. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 210 participants. The written consent was taken from the participants and they were fully aware of the study. Interviews were conducted to find the issues and the point of view of clients and health insurance providers. It was also evaluated that what factors are liked by clients about the health insurance scheme. Results: There were three categories made to find the client’s perspective. One of them was lack of awareness. Then there were monetary issues. There were 28% participants that reported that they have recently insured themselves. There were 62% participants already insured in the past and 62% said that they have never insured themselves. Conclusion: Middle income families had better health insurance coverage than lower middle class. High premium charges, poor financial condition, lack of guidance, lack of knowledge about benefits of health insurance are some of the factors that lower the prevalence of health insurance. Keywords: Health insurance and financial condition.

Excessive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are an environmental problem. Studies to determine cost-effective ways to reduce GHG emissions have revealed the need to model the dynamics of emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and other gases. In this study, the calculation of CO2 equivalent emissions from industrial processes and production in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan was carried out. When forecasting, the data provided by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change were used. To predict CO2 emissions from industrial production, tools for analysis and forecasting of time series were used: Prophet method, Cluster analysis of k-means time series, modern versions of ARIMA algorithms, exponential smoothing methods, and linear regression. This study presents comparative simulation results based on a baseline scenario with no action until 2045.This study compares four models to suggest an effective one for future CO2 emission forecasting. The accuracy comparison is conducted using various error measures, with the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) chosen as the metric for comparison.

Despite the fact that more and more attention is being paid to the development of nontraditional and renewable energy all over the world, the coal industry continues to be one of the most important industries for the Republic of Kazakhstan. All the main branches of the coal industry are represented in Kazakhstan: mining and processing 3,3 percent of the world's coal reserves are concentrated in the Republic. This paper presents a study of the combustion processes of Karazhyrin coal grade D (lower calorific value is in the range from 18855 to 21788 kJ/kg), which is non-design fuel. The studies were carried out on the operating boiler E-90-3,9/440 at various steam outputs in order to compile a regime map of the boiler. This coal is used not only in the region, but also outside it. In the course of the study, the dependences of the coefficient of performance (COP) of the gross boiler unit on the heat output and steam output were established.

As a result of the mathematical processing of the obtained experimental data (for three heat loads of 50 t/h, 75 t/h, 90 t/h), analytical dependencies were obtained that describe the change in gross efficiency and coal consumption depending on the heat and steam output of the boiler, at the same time, the coefficient of determination is within acceptable limits.

Published: May 2023

Introdução: A principal estratégia para reduzir a imunogenicidade dos enxertos transplantados é buscar a máxima compatibilidade entre os aloantígenos no par doador-receptor. Entende-se que a prova cruzada virtual (VXM) pode ser uma boa ferramenta na avaliação da dupla doador/receptor e que uma aplicação mais ampla desses protocolos melhorará a avaliação do risco imunológico pré-transplante. O objetivo deste estudo foi correlacionar os resultados das provas cruzadas por citometria de fluxo (FCXM), observando os diferentes valores médios de intensidade de fluorescência (MFI) e o alvo dos anticorpos doador específicos (DSA), com a probabilidade de uma prova cruzada positiva. Usamos para isso o protocolo Halifax de prova cruzada por citometria de fluxo. Métodos: Foram realizados um total de 15.217 FCXM entre 2015 e 2019. Todos foram testados pelo protocolo Halifax Flow Cytometer Crossmatch (FCXM), com células de doadores falecidos e soro de receptores renais. Para esta análise, selecionamos apenas as amostras que apresentavam um ou dois DSAs por locus (N = 1.081) quando o MFI estava acima de 1.000. Esses foram divididos de acordo com o grupo alélico reconhecido pelo anticorpo (anti-HLA-A, B, C, DR ou DQ) observando a probabilidade de uma prova cruzada positiva com diferentes valores de MFI dos DSAs. As combinações entre eles também foram analisadas da mesma forma (N=175). Resultados: Na presença de um DSA exclusivo contra os grupos alélicos A, B e DR, com índice MFI acima de 5.000, todos os FCXM foram positivos. Com anticorpos exclusivamente contra os grupos C ou DQ, todos os casos com DSAs acima de 15.000 MFIs foram positivos. Com dois ou mais DSAs anti A e/ou B, e/ou DR, quando suas somas de MFIs excederam 5.000, todos os resultados de FCXM contra células B foram positivos. A presença de DSA anti-Classe I (A, B e A+B), independentemente do valor de MFI, foi responsável por 71% (N=424 de 601) da positividade de células T e 77% (N=460 de 661) nas células B. A presença apenas de DSAs anti Classe II (DR e DQ) foi responsável por 55% (N=168 de 303) da positividade FCXM em células B. A média geral do MFI dos DSAs foi maior no grupo FCXM positivo quando comparado ao crossmatch negativo. O grupo com somatória de DSAs A (N=217) mostrou que quando a soma era de 4.000 MFIs ou mais havia uma probabilidade 24 vezes maior de uma prova cruzada positiva de células B quando comparado com MFIs menores. Conclusões: Nossos resultados mostram uma forte associação entre o DSA MFI e o resultado do FCXM. Os dados aqui apresentados confirmam os resultados dos nossos estudos anteriores, justificando o padrão VXM utilizado pelo nosso centro, revelando-se uma boa ferramenta para agilizar a seleção de receptores de transplantes e facilitar a distribuição de órgãos de dadores nacionais.
Application of Carbon Fibers in Construction

Carbon fibers (also known as graphite fibers) are high-performance fibers, about five to ten micrometers in diameter, composed mainly of carbon, with high tensile strength. Plus, they are extremely strong with respect to their size. They have high elastic modulus in comparison with glass fiber. According to the working period, carbon fibre-reinforced polymers possess more potential than those with glass fiber. However, they are relatively expensive as compared to similar fibers, such as glass fiber, basalt fiber, or plastic fiber. Its high quality, lightweight, and imperviousness to erosion, make it a perfect strengthening material. Carbon fibre-reinforced composite materials are used to make aircraft parts, golf club shafts, bike outlines, angling bars, car springs, sailboat masts, and sev-eral different segments which need to have less weight and high quality.

In this article, we optimize the performance of a solar air heater (SAH) using two designs and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis in this article. With the help of ANSYS fluent, two designs are considered to investigate the effect of different rib heights (e = 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8) and duct depths (h = 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24). The effects of different parameters such as velocity, temperature, turbulence kinetic energy, and turbulence energy are compared to optimize the performance of designs 2 and 3. It is noticed that except temperature, all other parameters are on the lower side for design 2 as compared to design 3, due to improper air mixing in design 2. The authors presented the optimized design 3 with rib height e = 1.8 and depth of duct h = 16 after consideration of all the parameters (temperature, velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, and turbulence intensity) at various rib heights and depths of the duct. These numerical results will serve as a benchmark for future research to improve the efficacy of solar air heaters.

Background: Starvation may alter energy metabolism and physiological activity of the gonads, with their cyclic production of sex hormones and this may affect reproduction. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of intermittent and severe starvation on some female reproductive hormones in female albino Wistar rats. Methods: Thirty adult female albino rats weighing 160-180g were randomly subdivided into three groups-A, B and C. Group A serves as control and was fed with rat chow and water. Group B were subjected to intermittent starvation of food, each rat was fed 1g of feed and 2mls of water daily for 7 days. Group C was subjected to severe starvation of food, each rat fed with 1g of feed and 2mls of water daily for 14 days. The animals were sacrificed at the end experiment and blood samples were collected through cardiac punctures and stored in sterile plain containers. Serum FSH, LH, progesterone and estrogen were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassays for each group of rats. Results: The mean levels of FSH, LH, progesterone and estrogen were significantly lower in acutely and chronically starved rats (5.96± 0.32; 4.01 ± 0.29 vs 6.40 ± 0.64) when compared with the control (p <0.005). The mean levels of all the assayed hormones in chronically starved rats (group C) were found to be significantly reduced when compared with the acutely starved rats (group B) (p <0.005). This study indicated that starvation may result in decreased release of FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone.
Remorseful or Resigned: Criminal Justice Legitimacy and the Appearance of “Docile” Defendants
Authors: Tantikul Thanyanuch
Published: May 2023

In monopolizing penal violence, the criminal justice system requires public acceptance, preferably not via coercive force but rather via the recognition of legitimacy that yields voluntary compliance. Nevertheless, under pressure of the demand for efficiency and mass case processing, the modern-day criminal justice system increasingly relies on convenient indicators that promote a superficial image of legitimacy. What follows is the undesirable blindness of the system to its marginalization of defendants. Still, the authorities’ indifference can remain strong so long as defendants appear willingly compliant. Being directly affected by the state’s penal power, defendants’ voluntary expression of repentance and obedience is arguably a strong affirmation of the system’s fairness. Drawing conclusions from observational and interview data regarding the criminal court process in Thailand, this article argues that instead, such visible docility is shaped by systemic pressures that gear defendants towards self-blame and fatalism. Such gearing mechanisms are neither deliberate nor coercive; yet, under their influence, free choice is also elusive. Accordingly, the defendants’ appearance of docility is defensibly induced by the system rather than being utterly voluntary. Although subconsciously produced, defendants’ complicity in their own marginalization powerfully endorses the claimed legitimacy of the proceedings, albeit to the erosion of the due process principle.

Introduction:

Female surgeons remain a minority within the field of orthopaedics, particularly in certain specialties such as arthroplasty. There is no scientific evidence on whether the surgeon's sex affects the patient-reported outcome after orthopaedic surgery such as total hip arthroplasty (THA). We therefore aimed to investigate the association between surgeon sex and health-related quality of life after THA.

Methods:

Data on primary THAs performed between 2008 and 2016 were collected from 10 hospitals in western Sweden. The data were linked with the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register, a regional patient register and the National Board of Health and Welfare, resulting in a data set that included surgeon-related and patient-related data. The outcome of the study was the change in health-related quality of life, measured with the 3-level version of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L) Index and EQ-visual analog scale (VAS), before and 1-year after THA. Mixed models, using hierarchical linear regression adjusted for patient sex, age, preoperative health-related quality of life and Charnley classification, were fitted to estimate the gain in EQ-5D-3L Index and EQ-VAS with 95% confidence intervals based on surgeon sex.

Results:

In total, 8,383 primary THAs were done for osteoarthritis by 193 surgeons. Of those, 37 were women and 156 were men. The regression model was showed that patients operated by female surgeons had a β-coefficient of gain in EQ-5D-3L Index of −0.001 (−0.022 to 0.021) and a β-coefficient of gain in EQ VAS of 0.004 (−0.023 to 0.030), compared with patients operated by male surgeons. Similar results were obtained in a sensitivity analysis including attendings only.

Discussion:

Patients undergoing primary THA reported similar gain in health-related quality of life regardless of surgeon sex. Based on our results, health-related quality of life after primary THA was not associated with the sex of the operating surgeon.

Introduction:

Posterior cervical fusion (PCF) and anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) are two main surgical management options for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Although ACDF is less invasive than PCF which should theoretically reduce postoperative pain, it is still unknown whether this leads to reduced opioid use. Our objective was to evaluate whether PCF increases postoperative opioid use compared with ACDF.

Methods:

We retrospectively identified all patients undergoing 2-level to 4-level ACDF or PCF at a single center from 2017 to 2021. Our state's prescription drug-monitoring program was queried for filled opioid prescriptions using milligrams morphine equivalents (MMEs) up to 1 year postoperatively. In-hospital opioid use was collected from the electronic medical record. Bivariate statistics compared ACDF and PCF cohorts. Multivariate linear regression was done to assess independent predictors of in-hospital opioid use and short-term (0 to 30 days), subacute (30 to 90 days), and long-term (3 to 12 months) opioid prescriptions.

Results:

We included 211 ACDF patients and 91 PCF patients. Patients undergoing PCF used more opioids during admission (126.7 vs. 51.0 MME, P < 0.001) and refilled more MMEs in the short-term (118.2 vs. 86.1, P = 0.001) but not subacute (33.6 vs. 19.7, P = 0.174) or long-term (85.6 vs. 47.8, P = 0.310) period. A similar percent of patients in both groups refilled at least one prescription after 90 days (39.6% vs. 33.2%, P = 0.287). PCF (β = 56.7, P = 0.001) and 30-day preoperative MMEs (β = 0.28, P = 0.041) were associated with greater in-hospital opioid requirements. PCF (β = 26.7, P = 0.039), C5 nerve root irritation (β = 51.4, P = 0.019), and a history of depression (β = 40.9, P < 0.001) were independently associated with 30-day postoperative MMEs.

Conclusions:

PCF is initially more painful than ACDF but does not lead to persistent opioid use. Surgeons should optimize multimodal analgesia protocols to reduce long-term narcotic usage rather than change the surgical approach.
