The article highlights some issues of geology and genesis of structural forms of the Verkhnekamskoye Salt Deposit (Perm krai). On the example of the Popovskiy salt dome location, the results of detailed studies and analysis of data on the geological structure of sedimentary strata and their morphology are presented. The reconstruction of the evolution of salt structures, the uplifts and depressions was carried out. The main factors and mechanisms, which controlled the development of a modern tectonic structure of this territory, were determined. Significant role in formation of the modern tectonic features of the upper part of the sedimentary cover played the accumulation in the Kungurian age of the Permian the ductile salt rocks, which, at the Late Paleozoic - Early Mesozoic subsequent stages of the territory evolution, determined the increased tectonic mobility of salt and supra-salt deposits, and the formation of high-amplitude uplifts and basins. Differences in tectonogenesis of the upper part of the sedimentary cover, comprising the ductile salt-bearing strata and the underlying rigid rocks, led to the division of the sedimentary cover of the Solikamskaya depression of the Cis-Ural trough into two tectonic stages. The lower level includes uplifts representing the draping structures of the Fransian-Tournaisian reef massifs and brachianticline folds of longitudinal compression, and the upper level comptises the structures formed as a result of the halokinesis of plastic rocks.

Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the determination of petroleum systems in deep sediments of the section of the Upper Pechora Basin of the Pre-Ural trough. These strata are still poorly studied, and the prospects for their oil and gas potential have not been clarified. The article discusses the definitions of the term “Petroleum system” (“Oil and gas” or “Hydrocarbon”) adopted in Russia and abroad. Based on the study of the collected data, including geochemical and reservoir properties, and basin modeling, three deep-submerged petroleum systems were identified within the territory under consideration. It is shown that the generation of hydrocarbons occurred at a time favorable for the formation of deposits. In the deep sediments of the sedimentary cover, the most important conditions for the formation of oil and gas fields within the framework of the concept of petroleum systems are fulfilled. The presence of source rocks, reservoirs, seals and traps, the realization of generation, migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons, as well as the optimal ratio of the time of manifestation of these processes, and the area of formation of deposits were analyzed.

Cognition and Proof in Criminal Proceedings: Problems of the Correlation of Concepts
Authors: Kornakova Svetlana
Published: November 2023

The author examines an issue that is still debatable in the science of criminal procedure law — the correlation between the concepts of «cognition» and «criminal procedural proof». There is no unity of views among scholars regarding this point.
The goal of the research is the critical assessment of arguments presented by those researchers who equate cognition and criminal procedure proof, as well as the presentation of reasons proving that these concepts are in a generic-specific relation. The author also argues for the necessity of differentiating between such concepts as cognition, cognition in a criminal case, criminal procedural cognition and proof, and presents her own opinion regarding their content and correlation.
The author used the general scientific methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis, formal logic legal interpretation, generalization and systematization of research data. The logical analysis identified some drawbacks and contradictions in the argumentation of scholars regarding the issues discussed in the article. It is concluded that criminal procedural cognition, and such its important part as proof, is a particular, specific type of cognition which cannot but demonstrate regularities common for any cognition. Besides, cognition is impossible without proof, but not vice versa. Disagreeing with the scholars who understand proving only as an activity carried out by the proceedings’ participants in order to justify conclusions, the author states that cognition and justification are two aspects of proof in the criminal proceedings. According to the legislative definition of proving it should be understood as the process of obtaining criminal procedural evidence and using it as arguments to substantiate the presence or absence of circumstances enumerated in Art. 74 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

Published: November 2023

Istibdal is a method for waqf properties development intended to solve underdevelopment problems of these properties. This paper intends to present an analysis of the relevant jurisprudence and how istibdal can be implemented specifically in waqf properties scenarios. This study used primary data sources through interviews to elicit information that shaped the implementation practice conducted. A literature review was also done to aid researchers to obtain secondary data on the waqf properties issues. Several law cases were reviewed to highlight important implementation issues addressed using istibdal method. This study shows how istibdal method is an innovation that offers a dynamic and comprehensive mechanism which facilitates the development of waqf properties in Malaysia and tailored with SDG11. It also shows how istibdal method can facilitates the development of waqf properties in Malaysia while achieving SDG goals. In line with the views of the majority sect in istibdal concept, it is a medium to sustain the waqf properties and lives. It turns out that Islamic Law has provided alternatives to address the problem of waqf property which is not liable to be converted to another property with a high prospect for development and public interests. However, it is done with integrity and to prevent conflicts and violations of waqf land. Thus, a law replaces the main principles of property law of conservation and sustainability of the assets. With the implementation of istibdal, these lands and other waqf properties have been successfully utilized, benefiting society.

Integrity is absolutely necessary to produce a noble society that is professionally advanced. This study is based on issues and problems of integrity that are often associated with civil servants in Malaysia. Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the understanding of Immigration Department staff on the integrity concept. This quantitative study applies survey method. The researcher used simple random sampling to select 170 respondents from a total of 190 people in the workforce. However, the total sample obtained in this study was only 157 because some questionnaires were not returned, so they had to be canceled so as not to negatively affect the accuracy of the results. The study finds that the understanding level of Kelantan Immigration Department staff on the integrity concept records a mean score of (m = 4.20, sd = .413). The finding reveals that immigration officers have high level of understanding regarding the integrity concept. Based on the result of the study, various efforts should be undertaken by all parties including the society, educational institutions, religious institutions, and the government to ensure that personal values and values in employment continue to be instilled among civil servants in Malaysia to achieve a high level of integrity.
Digital Communication and Work–Life Supportive Supervisor Behaviors in Europe
Authors: Abendroth Anja-Kristin , Schwarz Antje
Published: November 2023

The spread of digital communication in the employee–supervisor exchange relation has increased the risks of blurred boundaries between life domains and, subsequently, the need for work–life supportive supervisor behaviors (WLSSB). However, media richness and social presence theory indicate that WLSSB is simultaneously at risk because close bonds with supervisors are more difficult to develop and challenges in integrating work and personal life are more difficult to be signaled and understood. Following social network theory in the argument that it is not only the characteristic of the medium that is of importance but also the social embeddedness of its use, this research asks to what extent the association of digital communication with one’s supervisor and perceived WLSSB is context‐dependent. The overall results based on the European Social Survey (round 10) reveal that in‐person communication is more strongly associated with WLSSB than digital communication. However, more nuanced investigations suggest that this is not necessarily driven by the richness of the mode of communication. We find that the meaning of digital communication with one’s supervisor gains importance in size and significance (a) where it complements seldom in‐person communication, (b) where the organizational norm of high work devotion is weak, and (c) where work–life supportive state policies are pronounced. We conclude that the implications of digital communication for WLSSB are dependent on the centrality of digital communication in opportunities for the exchange of WLSSB and dependent on supervisors’ interest and agency to enact WLSSB in digital work communication.
Discourses of Digitalisation and the Positioning of Workers in Primary Care: A Norwegian Case Study
Authors: Nerland Monika , Hasu Mervi , Grisot Miria
Published: November 2023

Primary health services are subjected to intensified digitalisation to transform care provision. Various smart and assistive technologies are introduced to support the growing elderly population and enhance the opportunities for independent living among patients in need of continuous care. Research has shown how such digitalisation processes evolve at the intersection of different and often competing discourses, oriented towards service efficiency, cost containment, technological innovation, client‐centred care, and digital competence development. Often, increased technology use is presented as a solution to pressing problems. However, how discourses are negotiated in work contexts and their mechanisms of social inclusion/exclusion in evolving work practices have received less attention. This article examines how care workers in the primary health sector are discursively positioned when care technologies are introduced in the services. We employ a perspective on discourses and subject positions in analysing strategic documents and interviews with care workers in a large Norwegian city. We show how managerial discourses that focus narrowly on the implementation and mastery of single technologies provide limited spaces for workers to exert influence on their work situations, while discourses that emphasise professional knowledge or broader technological and organisational aspects provide a variety of resources for workers’ agency. The way care workers adopt and negotiate subject positions varies based on their tasks and responsibilities in the organisation. We discuss the need to move beyond “solutionism” in efforts to digitalise care work in order to provide inclusive spaces supporting the contributions of various worker groups.

Authors: Dukhanina O.S.
Published: November 2023

Objectives. Social interaction dysfunction is one of the main dysfunctions that are present in varying degrees of severity in all children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Social skills training in children with this diagnosis is always needful because it is very difficult for a person with ASD but very necessary for adaptation in society.

Methods. The video modeling method is one of the scientifically based methods that uses digital technology to record and demonstrate goal behaviors or skills. The article presents the case that describes the work of the social skills forming for 7-year-old boy with ASD. The work was realized at the school using the video modeling method. There were used the scales “Play and leisure”, “Social interaction” from Methods of assessing basic speech and learning skills ABLLS-R to diagnose the skills of social interaction.

Results. Before the training there were found that boy hadn’t got skills of a request addressed to classmates and game interaction with them, bud he had aggression towards classmates. At the end of training, according to the observations of the teacher and specialists of the support service, the boy’s problematic behavior episodes decreased. The boy began to express the request with speech more often, to play action games at recess, a board game as well. The boy’s results increased from 15 to 27 points on the “Play and Leisure” scale, from 17 to 29 points on the “Social Interaction” scale of The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills ABLLS-R.

Conclusions. According to the results of the work, it is assumed that after large-scale testing the method of video modeling might be further used to develop the skills of play and communication in children with ASD who study with adapted education program (option 8.2) and do not have severe memory, attention and visual perception deficits.

Published: November 2023

Hummingbirds of the species Selasphorous platycercus and Selasphorous rufus were studied in Colorado, where they displayed territorial behaviour at feeders containing 10%, 20%, and 30% sucrose solutions. At each of the three energy availability levels, the number of invaders, the number of territory owners, and the level of Defence were recorded. After being forced out of their breeding area by Rufous Hummingbirds, Broad-tailed Hummingbirds only bother to defend locations of inferior quality. Both Wide-tailed and Rufous hummingbirds, while keeping tabs on important locations, resort to more flamboyant modes of behaviour, such as extended pursuits augmented with chip cries and aimless wing flapping. According to certain probes, a chase is ready to start if chip calls and hovering are any indication. However, I learned that when an intruder was present, it was only natural to want to get rid of them. Hovering and chip calls were utilised to increase the intensity of the chase. Broad-tailed Hummingbirds were less likely than Rufous Hummingbirds to make chip sounds or hover without giving pursuit.

After phylogeny is measurably disposed of, cranial elements utilized essentially for rumination ought to change most with hypsodonty (high-delegated cheek teeth). These structures should be least phylogenetically restricted. Corollary: structures with significant common ancestry will integrate more morphologically. All living rhinoceroses and many extinct European Plio-Pleistocene species We examined skull, mandible, and upper tooth row form in the dorsal, lateral, and occlusal perspectives using two-dimensional geometric morphometrics. Hypsodonty index was employed to represent eating behaviours. We divided form variation into function, phylogeny, and size using phylogenetically independent comparisons and variation partitioning. We used Escoufier's RV coefficient to evaluate morphological reconciliation. The mandible and upper tooth column covariate most with hypsodonty and least with phylogeny. Skull morphology corresponds least with hypsodonty and most with phylogeny. Low morphological joining between the top tooth line and different parts recommends it is the least phylogenetically restricted. As predicted, the chewing area is confined by function rather than phylogeny, unlike others.

The aim of the study to reveal the age-related morphofunctional features of the testes in radiation sickness. Methods. An experimental study was carried out on material taken from the testes of white non-linear rats. Animals were divided into 2 groups (n=64): Group I - (intact) control (n=33); II - group - rats that received radiation for 20 days from 71 days of age at a dose of 0.2 Gy (total dose was 4.0 Gy) (n=31). Results. Morphometry of the testicles showed that their mass, length and thickness in postnatal ontogenesis change unevenly. Comparison of the rate of weight gain and body length with the weight and volume of the testicles shows that with an increase in their volume, body weight increases more than length.

Quality by Design (Qbd) Based Development and Evaluation of Carvedilol Loaded Polymeric Nanoparticles for Enhanced Solubility
Authors: Mallika Tamminana  , B.V.V. Ravi Kumar
Published: November 2023

By preparing a polymeric nanoparticle by nanoprecipitation using specific polymers like Chitosan and HPMC K15M and Poloxamer 407 as a surfactant, the drug solubility of Carvedilol, a BCS class-II drug with poor water solubility, can be improved through the release of drug over time. Critical quality parameters, such as drug release (%), entrapment efficiency (%), particle size (nm), and zeta potential (mV), are used to eliminate unnecessary process and formulation variables. The model drug has a sharp melting point, and the FT-IR and DSC investigations show that it does not interact with the polymers or show any additional peaks. Particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency and in-vitro drug release were among the characteristics studied for the generated drug-loaded polymeric nanoparticles. According to the results of the drug release and stability investigations, the F6 formulation was the most reliable, boasting increased drug solubility and efficient drug trapping as it formed a nano-sized polymeric particle. Non-Fickian diffusion-controlled drug release with Higuchi kinetics was demonstrated by the correlation coefficient data and the release exponent numbers from Koresmeyer Peppa’s. Drug entrapment efficiency and in vitro dissolution rate remained constant during the 6-month stability trial, indicating that the optimised formulation (F6) is more stable.

Published: November 2023

In response to the frequent occurrence of leakage accidents in heating pipelines, timely detection of leakage points in such pipelines is of great significance to ensure the safe operation of heating systems. This article proposes a method for detecting leakage points in heating pipelines
using drones equipped with infrared thermal imagers, employing a combination of the improved R3Det algorithm and the adaptive threshold method. Firstly, the algorithm identifies the area of the heating pipeline and then employs the adaptive threshold method to detect the presence
of leakage points in the identified pipeline area. Additionally, taking into account the morphological characteristics of heating pipelines, the R3Det network is enhanced by introducing variable convolution, enabling more precise extraction of pipeline features. To reduce model
overfitting and enhance network expression capabilities, the H-swish activation function is employed to replace the original activation function. Furthermore, candidate anchor boxes are clustered using the K-means++ clustering algorithm to obtain better position regression results
and improve training efficiency. The improved algorithm demonstrates significantly better positioning precision compared to the original network. Moreover, an adaptive threshold algorithm is proposed for leak detection and labelling, utilising the original temperature information contained
in infrared images. The experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves higher accuracy in detecting leaks in heating pipelines.
A review of health index-based condition assessment techniques for power and distribution transformers
Authors: Wani N U I , Ranga C
Published: November 2023

In this paper, the most significant diagnostic parameters of transformers and the corresponding asset management strategies adopted by the leading power utilities of various countries are discussed. The analytical techniques used include Monte Carlo simulations (MCSs), fuzzy inference
systems, neuro-fuzzy systems, regression analysis, multi-criterion analysis (MCA) and so on. These techniques incorporate information related to transformer design and fabrication, operation history and maintenance, visual inspection and various diagnostic tests and measurements. The health
assessment methodologies for power and distribution transformers may require improvement. Cost-effective techniques involving few critical parameters have to be used for distribution transformers. Suitable communication technologies need to be deployed for remote monitoring and assessment.
Appropriate interfacing software can be developed for analysis. There are many issues and operating conditions associated with Indian transmission and distribution systems, which call for the adaptation of the discussed techniques for their effective use.
Calibration of the Local Magnitude Scale (ML) for Eastern Cuba
Authors: Diez Zaldivar Eduardo R. , Sandron Denis , Cutie Mustelier Manuel
Published: November 2023

Calibration of the local magnitude scale to match local tectonics is a key element in the development of research leading to seismic risk assessment and quantification of seismicity in active regions. In this study, we developed a local magnitude scale for the southeastern region of Cuba—the part of the island exposed to the greatest seismic hazard due to its proximity to the Oriente fault system. From the 2011–2021 Cuban catalog, 7750 earthquakes with ML>2 were selected, distributed in the region 19°–22° N, 73°–79° W, and recorded by at least four seismic stations (of the Cuban CW network) within 500 km of the hypocentre. The resulting input data set includes 33,916 amplitude measurements of the horizontal components. We set up the whole linear regression analysis procedure in the Matlab environment to obtain the formula for the local magnitude in the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior form. In a three-step procedure, we (1) removed the outliers; (2) searched for the parameters n, K, and Si that minimize the unbiased sample standard deviation of the residuals; and (3) set the anchor point for the parameter C. Thus, the new formula for the local magnitude ML is defined as follows: ML=log10(A)+1.000log10(R)+0.003R−1.963, in which A is the peak amplitude in nanometers simulated with a Wood–Anderson sensor, and R is the hypocentral distance in kilometers. We also calculated the station correction factors S for each station included in the analysis.

Ethical Aspects of Neural Network Technologies in Science and Education

The study of human-machine interaction has a long history. In the age of globalization and the era of digitalization, the format and content of these relations has reached a new level. Today there are areas of application where artificial intelligence and neural network technologies are “smarter” than humans. Currently, the world has already begun a massive process of “de-neurosetivization”, so in March 2023 an open letter was published calling for the suspension of training of artificial intelligence systems. The letter was signed by technology gurus such as SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Many Russian opinion leaders take a low-profile pragmatic stance in the sense that technology development always has costs. Emerging new challenges require a search for an answer to them, but not a suspension of innovative development. Along with this, new questions of the moral and ethical nature of the interaction between machines and humans arise. One of the key tasks of our time is to determine the boundaries of what is permitted for each of the parties. This is especially true for the field of science and higher education, where a student or scientist must be able to independently confirm their qualifications and knowledge. The most striking case in Russia was the defense of a bachelor's thesis by a student of the Russian State University for the Humanities, completely written by the ChatGPT neural network. As the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Valery Falkov assured, no sanctions will be applied to the graduate and will not affect the award of a bachelor's degree in any way, but now the academic community is puzzled by the issues of changing the knowledge assessment system in accordance with new technological challenges. Thus, we are talking about ethical standards not only for technologies, but also for people.
Respostas parciais no português brasileiro: inferências lógicas e contextuais
Authors: Silva Fernanda Rosa

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo principal investigar os fenômenos semânticos e pragmáticos que envolvem diálogos do português brasileiro (PB), cuja pergunta seja do tipo sim/não, e a resposta seja uma resposta parcial, em que o falante traz menos informações do que o solicitado pela pergunta. A pesquisa buscou fazer uma investigação teórica, a partir de diálogos criados pela autora, para identificar os fenômenos semânticos e pragmáticos envolvidos, como: acarretamento, pressuposição ou implicatura. A partir desse levantamento, pôde-se observar que a resposta parcial envolve um tipo específico de implicatura: conversacional generalizada (GRICE, 1975). Além disso, é possível afirmar que as respostas estabelecem uma relação de escala (HORN, 1972, 2004), em que respostas completas apresentam um conjunto de alternativas mais informativas (HAMBLIN, 1973; GROENENDIJK; STOKHOF, 1984; ROOTH,1985), resposta com foco e tópico contrastivo (BÜRING, 2003) são intermediárias, e respostas com sintagmas quantificados são menos informativas, pois há mais alternativas do conjunto que não são avaliadas no contexto. O falante vai optar pelo tipo de resposta mais adequada, considerando sua obediência ao Princípio Cooperativo e às máximas conversacionais (GRICE,1975)

Este trabalho traz um recorte de pesquisa anterior (JANELI, 2021) e reflete sobre itens lexicais encontrados na linguagem jornalística esportiva italiana, especificamente os estrangeirismos ou neologismos. Para tanto, um corpus foi montado, a partir de notícias do portal Tuttosport, entre 2018 e 2019. Baseando-nos na Lexicologia, Semântica Lexical e Neologia, por meio do software AntConc, confrontamos os dados em três dicionários italianos e, a seguir, checamos a ocorrência das lexias em um corpus de controle. Apresentamos informações do contexto de uso, morfológicas e semânticas. Por fim, salientamos um fato histórico de veto a uso de estrangeirismos do esporte, durante o período fascista, na Itália.

Protection of the Brazilian Airspace Control System against Unmanned Aircraft System from the Perspective of the Capability-Based Planning
Authors: Atallah Monreal Edson , Vilar Lopes Gills
Published: November 2023

The Brazilian Airspace Control System against Unmanned Aircraft Systems is a strategic issue that can become a target of new 21st-century threats due to its importance for civil aviation and the Brazilian Aerospace Power. The characteristics of this new device involve its low detection rate by radars and the ineffectiveness of traditional air countermeasures systems in its confrontation. The scrutiny is performed from the perspective of Capability-Based Planning, as it provides more rationality for decision-making on future acquisitions and makes planning more responsive to uncertainties, budgetary constraints, and risks. The main objective of this article is to analyze the current perceived capability of the Brazilian Airspace Control System to face and counter the unlawful use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems against this critical national infrastructure. An exploratory-descriptive study, conducted in a qualitative research style, is carried out. However, descriptive statistics are alsoused to assess the results extracted from the application of questionnaires to the Brazilian Airspace Control System managers. The responses indicate that the perceived capability is 74.2% positive,showing that air navigation security operators, on average, consider the measures adopted by the Brazilian Department of Airspace Control to be sufficient and proficient to protect civil aviation and its national aerospace infrastructure against uncrewed aircraft.

Pets are inhabiting more and more human homes every year. In 2020, the cat population in Europe was 110 million, including 6.8 million in Poland. Dry food is the most popular dietary model for cats because of its easy storage and efficient satisfaction of pet needs. The high processing temperature of dry food reduces the chance of microbial contamination, but this can occur later, during post-production or storage in the pet’s caregiver’s home or, in the case of weighed foods, in the store. The purpose of this study was to investigate the microbiological safety of dry feed sold in the original manufacturer’s packaging and the same feed from the same manufacturers sold in a retail store by weight. Six discriminants, presence of Salmonella spp., number of coliforms, number of coagulase-positive staphylococci, determination of yeast and mould counts, Enterobacteriaceae count, Listeria monocytogenes and determination of total aerobic microbial count were used for the analysis. Then, cat food was then stored for 45 days according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Based on the samples tested both after opening and after storage, it was concluded that the dry cat food analyzed posed a law microbiological risk to animals and humans.
