Authors: Liang Xuanshuo , Guo Ming , Wang Guoli
Published: June 2024

This study was conducted in response to the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei mega heavy rainfall event at the end of July 2023, and the severely affected and representative Jiangou village in Beijing was selected as the study area. A variety of methods were used to synthesize and analyze the situation and propose an adaptive response to heavy rainfall and flooding in the village. Based on multi-source remote sensing (RS) data, a comprehensive topographic and hydrological characterization was carried out, and the precipitation before and after the disaster was analyzed; the flood inundation area was extracted using the improved normalized water body index (MNDWI) and OTSU thresholding methods, and the changes of water bodies during the flooding period were quantitatively analyzed; and an improved convolutional-neural-network-based building identification and extraction model was constructed to extract the research distribution of buildings in the area. The sponge city construction (SPCC) method was improved to obtain a method that can mitigate flood risk and adapt to villages by constructing small artificial lakes and local topographic buffers to improve the water storage and drainage capacity of villages. The study shows that these methods are innovative in flood hazard analysis and mitigation but still need further improvement in data accuracy, simulation depth, and system evaluation.

Published: June 2024

Water-soluble mining was invariably associated with surface subsidence, which in some cases escalated to the movement, deformation, and even collapse of the overlying rock layers, triggering grave subsidence calamities. The caprock of the salt-bearing strata in the Longgui salt rock mining area was closely adjacent to the third aquifer, which mainly consisted of fractured, porous, high-permeability materials such as mudstone conglomerates, rendering the geological conditions highly complex. Years of water-soluble mining had led to significant surface subsidence in the mining area, with a trend toward accelerated subsidence. In this study, the geological conditions of the Longgui salt rock mining area were analyzed, and through simulated experiments of pillar dissolution mining, the mechanisms of surface subsidence in the area were examined. Over time, the dissolution gradually perforated the pillars and caprock, with the pillars ceasing to support the caprock, ultimately transforming small cavities into a large single cavity. Utilizing subsidence data, this research employed numerical simulation to inverse and predict subsidence patterns from 2019 to 2025, revealing that the maximum subsidence reached 1367.6 mm in mining area I and 1879.5 mm in mining area II, with subsidence rates of 12.05 mm/y and 44.78 mm/y, respectively. Moreover, the impact of ground subsidence on the construction of adjacent subways was assessed by establishing monitoring points and evaluating subsidence along subway cross-sections and longitudinal directions. The findings provided valuable insights for guiding the prevention and control of surface subsidence calamities in the Longgui salt rock mine and similar mining areas in Guangzhou, China.
Estimation of Road Adhesion Coefficient Based on Camber Brush Model
Authors: Zhang Shupei , Zhu Hongcheng , Zhou Haichao , Chen Yixiang , Liu Yue
Published: June 2024

Electric vehicles, with their distinct power systems, weight distribution, and power control strategies compared to traditional vehicles, influence the pressure distribution in the tire contact area, thereby affecting the estimation of road adhesion coefficient. In electric vehicle research, tire adhesion coefficient serves as a measure of the frictional force between the vehicle and the road surface, directly impacting the vehicle’s handling performance. The accurate estimation of the adhesion coefficient aids drivers in better understanding the vehicle’s driving state. However, the existing brush models neglect differences in ground pressure distribution along the width direction of tires during tire camber, potentially leading to inaccuracies in adhesion coefficient estimation. This study proposes a camber brush tire model that considers the width-direction pressure distribution characteristics, aiming to enhance the accuracy of adhesion coefficient estimation under camber conditions. Experimental comparisons between the improved and original models reveal a significant enhancement in estimation precision. Consequently, the findings of this study provide valuable insights for deepening our understanding of tire camber dynamics and for designing control systems for electric vehicles, thereby improving vehicle stability and safety.

Published: June 2024

The first comprehensive assessment was conducted to study the allergenic aeropalynodendroflora in the greening of the Left-Bank Polissia region territories, using the example of the city of Chernihiv, Chernihiv region (taxonomic composition, biomorphological, ecological structure, frequency of occurrence, distribution).Based on the original research results, we found that the allergenic aeropalynodendroflora comprises 82 species, 18 cultivars, 26 genera, 16 families (Magnoliophyta – 59 species, 19 genera, 14 families, Pinophyta – 23 species, 7 genera, 2 families). The most numerous in terms of species are the families Pinaceae – 12 species (Pinus (8 species), Picea (4), Cupressaceae – 11 species (Juniperus (5); among angiosperms – Salicaceae – 20 species (Salix (15), Populus (5)), Aceraceae – 8 species (Acer (8). The most diverse cultivars are Thuja occidentalis (7), Juniperus sabina (3), Acer palmatum (3). Frequency analysis revealed that 36 species are widespread; while representatives of 43 species are rare (most are found in collection sites). We identified the locations of species according to their distribution by different types of urban plantings, with 10 species found in all types of plantings and 22 species found in public areas as part of the greening structure. It was determined that trees are the dominant life form in plantings (65 species: deciduous (47), evergreen (18)). In terms of height, there was a predominance of trees of the I size (27 species) and bushes of the I size (8) was noted. It has been established that most species have a high adaptive capacity to the natural and ecological conditions of urban ecotopes, with a significant proportion being oligotrophs (41 species) in terms of soil demand; mesophytes (43 species) in terms of soil moisture; and heliophytes (39 species) in terms of light requirement.

SPECTRA OF TAXA ECOMORPHIC CAPACITY OF PLANT COMMUNITIES IN TECHNOGENIC ECOTOPES OF KRYVBAS DUMPS
Authors: Malenko Ya. , Kobriushko O. , Verba D.
Published: June 2024

The article refers to the relevance of conducting comprehensive studies of plant communities’ composition of dumps’ technogenic ecotopes as an initial stage in learning the structure, specifics of conditions and trends in developing vegetation of disturbed lands. The expediency of detailing the ecomorphic capacity of various taxa based on the theory of ecological and taxonomic spectra is noted to establish ecological, adaptive potential, inherent and realized by each taxon. Research conducted within the dumps «2-3» of PJSC «ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih» allowed to record 184 species of angiosperms belonging to 132 genera and 35 families. Analysis of the constructed ecomorphic capacity spectra of taxa (classes, families) indicates their unequal ecomorphic capacity.The ecomorphic capacity of Magnoliopsida is larger than that of Liliopsida. The predominant part of the Magnoliopsida ecomorphic capacity spectrabelongs to ruderants, ruderal stepants and stepants, xeromesophytes and mesoxerophytes, heliophytes, hemicryptophytes and therophytes, and mesotrophs.Stepants, ruderants, xeromesophytes, heliophytes, therophytes,cryptophytes, and mesotrophs dominate in the Liliopsida ecomorphic capacity spectra. The cenomorphic capacity spectra of the families Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Poaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Apiaceae are expanded and contain the most different cenomorphs when the spectra of the cenomorphic capacity of 15 families are narrowed and monotypic in terms of the composition of cenomorphs. The extended hygromorphic capacity spectra are characteristic of Poaceae, Asteraceae, Caryophyllaceae, Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, Chenopodiaceae, and Scrophulariaceae; heliomorphic capacity spectra – of Lamiaceae, Rosaceae, Apiaceae; climamorphic capacity spectra – of Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Brassicaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Poaceae, Caryophyllaceae; trophomorphic capacity spectra – of Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Euphorbiaceae. The approach of plant communities to a more or less stable state is accompanied by reduction and relative stabilization in the composition of ecomorphic spectra and taxa capacity. Identical changes in the ecomorphic capacity of taxa on dumps that have a certain similarity in ecological conditions, substrate characteristics,and storage age can be used as diagnostic indicators of the stages of zonal restoration of vegetation cover on disturbed lands.
THE FIRST ENGLISH SONNET AND ITS PARODIC ESSENCE
Authors: Semyonov Vadim B.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of questions about which sonnet was the first example of a national genre form in English poetry, and about the relationship between its text and previous traditions and specific monuments. The research material was a fragment of the chivalric romance “Amoryus and Cleopes” by John Metham. Topicality of the study is due to the lack of knowledge of this text. The form of graphic organisation of the selected fragment is analysed against the background of comparisons with various ways of setting up classical Italian sonnets, then the meaningful motifs and the integral plot of the fragment are correlated with the content of Francesco Petrarch’s book “De remediis utriusque fortunae” and in more detail with the plot of Geoffrey Chaucer’s early poem “The Book of the Duchess”. The general A.M. Severinus Boethius’s theme of the Wheel of Fortune is noted, and the movement of the plot in Chaucer and Metham and both figures of their complaining knights, as well as the causes of their suffering, are assessed. In the process of analysis, it is possible to establish that a fragment of the novel, designed by the author on the model of Italian sonnets, yet containing an original rhyme scheme, which will become known as the rhyme of an English sonnet, exhibits a parodic character in relation to the texts of Petrarch and Chaucer.
REPRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL CODE IN THE NOVEL “GETTING INTO CHARACTERˮ BY H.L. OLDIE THROUGH THE PRISM OF SHAKESPEARE’S THEATRICAL METAPHOR
Authors: Shchukina Marina S.
Published: June 2024

In the presented study the novel “Getting into Characterˮ (1991) by Henry Lyon Oldie (the pen name of Dmytro Hromov and Oleh Ladyzhens’ky) is considered as a part of Hamlet`s text of modern Russian-language literature. The peculiarities of the representation of the Gospel code of the novel are analysed. They are conditioned by the author’s concept of the artistic world, which assumes the recreation of reality according to the stage laws. It is established that the transformation of the Gospel code in the novel occurs at the level of the image system (Actor-Hamlet-Christ, mentor/Master-Messiah, pupil/apprentice-follower, stage word as Logos, theatre as religion, abyss as unrealised creative work), motif structure (motifs of mentoring, faith, salvation and resurrection of the soul). The ideological and thematic content of the artistic work is changed (the theme of art and its Creator, the problem of faith and faithlessness, the idea of redemption of human sins – the humanistic mission of the protagonist). It is determined by the theatricality as the most important category of the novel`s poetics, underlying the construction of the artistic reality of “Getting into Characterˮ. Special attention is paid to the representation of Shakespearean theatrical metaphor, as well as to the intertextual connection of H.L. Oldie’s novel with Shakespeare’s “Hamletˮ tragedy.
МEANS OF PERSUASION IN JOURNAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Bogdanova Elena A.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to one of topical problems of modern linguistics – to the study of strategies and tactics of persuasion in various types of discourse. Modern scientists consider linguistic means of achieving the goal of influence. The purposefulness of speech actions is a topical phenomenon in political, advertising, tourism, journalism and other types of discourse. The most obvious potential of the persuasive impact is manifested in the journal discourse, which is an implicit model of social interaction. The choice of the French women’s magazine discourse as an object of research is due to the special form of the social role of the Western European woman. It is established that gender-marked speech portraits are manifested in women’s magazine discourse. Subject of research includes the title of the text of the French women’s magazine article from the point of view of the ways of linguistic implementation of the media discourse’s persusive function. The pragmaorientation of the title of the journal text, which has a special strategy for the implementation of the main goals and objectives of the journal discourse, is noted. The article considers the evolution of strategies and tactics of the persuasion of the French women’s journal discourse, due to the transformation of the role of women in the French linguistic and cultural community. The article concludes that the subject matter and linguistic organisation of the headlines of French women’s magazines of the present and before the 1960s partially coincide, but are of different potential for the realisation of persuasion.
SEMANTIC FIELD “POWER” IN’S NOVEL “THE ARC FOR THE UNINVITED” BY VLADIMIR MAKSIMOV
Authors: Shohra Mohammed
Published: June 2024

The article presents a comprehensive description of the semantic field ‟Power” in the novel by the well-known Russian prose writer of the 2nd half of the 20th century, Vladimir Yemelyanovich Maksimov. The purpose of the study is to identify the structural and semantic features of the field, the communicative and pragmatic properties of its nuclear components, which are semantic dominants of the text and actively participate in organising the artistic narrative, depicting characters and events, and explicating the conceptual content of the study. An analytical review of the main linguistic studies devoted to the study of the phenomenon of authority in Russian culture and linguistic consciousness, and the scientific description of semantic fields in the system of language and speech is carried out. Modelling the field structure of the novel is based on the principles of discourse analysis of the text, and it is determined by the specifics of the writer’s linguistic personality, the individual originality of the artistic picture of the world, the genre-stylistic and plot-compositional features of the work, and the linguacultural situation of the depicted era. The component composition of the field, its core, centre and periphery, and microfields are consistently characterised. Semantic connections and intersections of field components are determined with contextual conditionality of additional meanings revealed. The semantic field ‟authority” combines four microfields: the central part of the field structure includes the microfields ‟state authority” and ‟God power”, the peripheral zone includes the microfields ‟family authority” and ‟authority and power of natural elements”. The core of the field includes the key lexemes of authority, power and the leader. The semantic dominants of the text, being components of the analysed field structure, contribute to the development of action in space and time, create narrative polyphony, reflect the author’s position, and convey the bright features of the writer’s linguistic personality.
FIGHTING ANIMAL CRUELTY IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE IN THE 2ND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY (historical and legal aspect)
Authors: Romanovskaya Vera B. , Beznosova Yana V.
Published: June 2024

Despite the lack of a developed regulatory framework in the field of animal treatment in the Russian Empire in the 2nd half of the 19th century society matured an understanding of the need to pose and resolve this problem. Using the example of Nizhny Novgorod Department of the Russian Society for Animal Welfare, the authors consider various measures aimed at protecting agricultural and domestic animals in Nizhny Novgorod, ways to spread the ideas of humane treatment of animals and improving their living conditions among the general public. Special attention is paid to the study of such areas of the department’s activities as combating the unsatisfactory condition of slaughterhouses, taking measures to capture and keep stray dogs, overseeing the treatment of animals at fairs and other places of trade, regulating the transportation of small livestock and the exploitation of horses. The results of the fruitful work of this organisation in the field of responsible animal management are presented. The rich experience of Nizhny Novgorod Department of the Russian Society for Animal Welfare, accompanied by real positive changes in the field of animal rights, can be used by legislators at the present stage in regulating charitable and volunteer activities of animal protection organisations, in improving the legal regulation of animal transportation, veterinary legislation and regulation of other public relations, the object of which includes the treatment of animals.
PROSTITUTION IN THE DAILY LIFE OF RYBINSK IN THE 2ND HALF OF THE 19TH – THE EARLY 20TH CENT
Authors: Karandashev Gleb V.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of urban prostitution in Russia in the 2nd half of the 19th – the early 20th cent. in the example of the district city of Rybinsk, located in Yaroslavl Province. Based on the analysis of unpublished archival sources and materials of the local periodical press, prostitution has for the first time been considered as a socio-cultural phenomenon of Rybinsk urban everyday life. The paper presents statistical indicators of Rybinsk prostitution, examines the places and conditions of residence, as well as the social status of public women. The circumstances of entering the profession and the possibility of giving it up are studied; the activities of female prostitutes’ keepers and the socio-cultural environment that had developed around prostitution as a phenomenon of urban life are analysed. In the 1840s, prostitution in Russia was legalised and got under the supervision of the police. In Rybinsk, there was a medical and police commission, which, in order to reduce the number of sexually transmitted diseases, controlled the registration of women of easy virtue, organising medical examinations, the issuance of permits for the opening of brothels. During the navigation period, the influx of prostitutes to Rybinsk was significant and exceeded the provincial city of Yaroslavl by this indicator. Public women lived in brothels, apartments or stayed with their keepers, who made an important item of their income from this. The conditions of such a life included hardship, but provincial women preferred that to a half-starved existence. The criminogenic situation prevailing in Rybinsk brothels contributed to the commission of a variety of offences. Most prostitutes came from lower social groups. Being caught in secret prostitution led to a change in the social status and restriction of women’s personal freedom. The exit from the number of prostitutes was possible after the approval of the police authorities.
Resilience of men with different types of emotional attachment
Authors: Suntsova Yana S.
Published: June 2024

The results of a study of the resilience of men in the aspect of their emotional attachment are presented. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the problem of emotional attachment is becoming more and more relevant in psychological research in connection with the recognition of this phenomenon as an immanent source of effective human functioning, its resilience, and the ability to successfully overcome adverse environmental conditions. Modern society, with its information saturation, instability, and acceleration of the rhythm of life, requires resilience from a person to help cope with difficult life situations. In this regard, it becomes important to identify, study, and comprehend those personal characteristics that are responsible for successful adaptation and coping with life difficulties. It is especially important to study this issue in men of the period of middle adulthood – the time not only of the heyday of personal and professional achievements, but also the time of crisis, decrease in vital activity, and the collapse of hopes. The study involved 50 male people, aged 26 to 35 years (Msr. = 30.6), with higher education, married. To process the results of the study, cluster analysis (hierarchical, K-means), the Mann-Whitney difference criterion were used. Two groups of men with reliably avoidant and avoidantly cautious types of attachment were identified, taking into account the data obtained, the features of their resilience were studied. It was found that in men with a reliably avoidant type of attachment, the indicators of vitality are significantly higher than in men with an avoidantly cautious type of attachment. In the theoretical aspect, knowledge on the problems of resilience and emotional attachment of men has been enriched; in practical terms, the results of the study can be used in the activities of a psychologist to prevent men's crisis states during middle adulthood.

Authors: Shchepochkin Alexej M. , Shchepochkina Julia А.
Published: June 2024

Modern flax mills are equipped with new production lines for short and long fibres. In particular, the Belgian company Depoortere supplies such lines of various capacities. The equipment allows for continuous processing of flax, complete cleaning of flax seeds. Standard sorting tables are used for sorting flax (manually by length and colour). At the same time, back in the 1980s, based on the modernisation of standard sorting tables, original designs of experimental sorting tables equipped with aspiration devices were created and tested in production conditions. In this paper, an experimental conveyor table with a perforated surface is considered, equipped with a device for removing air contaminated with dust particles. An experimental table with a two-sided arrangement of workplaces with the function of localisation and removal of dust in the process of sorting long flax fibre is presented. The results of testing of experimental tables at Palekh flax plant, comments and suggestions from the employees of the flax plant regarding the design of the tables are presented. The designs of experimental tables equipped with aspiration devices, have significant advantages in comparison with standard tables, can be adapted to modern lines installed at flax plants.

DEFINITION OF THE MAIN PREREQUISITES FOR THE EMERGENCE OF THE TERM “SPACE ERGONOMICS”
Authors: Kuklina Alina V. , Kukhta Maria S.
Published: June 2024

The article discusses the main reasons for the formation of space ergonomics as a separate scientific discipline, since the knowledge used on the organisation of human activity in the surrounding techno-sphere on Earth differs significantly from the subject environment in outer space. The state of weightlessness dictates not only new rules in ergonomics, but also leads to the development of unique design solutions for a comfortable human stay in the space environment. Space ergonomics studies the laws of human life processes in the conditions of space flight. It is shown that the development of ergonometric requirements for the conditions of human professional activity in the space environment is an important factor for successful space exploration. The requirements include life support systems, safety, development of scientific and household equipment, design of the surrounding space, as well as consideration of psychological features of cosmonauts’ work.
Imago Dei and Soul
Authors: May Andreas
Published: June 2024

Today, it is highly controversial in Western societies, that humans are made in the image of God (“imago Dei”). This article is looking for a unique feature of man that can justify his special position. The methodological approach consists of contrasting research results and social developments documented in current publications with modern theological and philosophical publications. Our intelligence and the fact that we are self-aware are no longer sufficient as a unique human feature, because biology, palaeoanthropology and computer technology call it into question. This article shows that the soul remains the unique feature of the human being. But often no clear distinction is made between the transcendent soul and the immanent mind. The article therefore emphasises that the soul is transcendent, eternal and a gift of God from transcendence. In order to achieve this, we must abandon the bipartition of man into body and soul and accept the tripartite division of man into body, mind and soul. The transcendence of the soul provides us with a justification for why humans and only humans are “imago Dei”. This gives us a basis for claiming the right of every human being for life and personal realisation.

Sacred Knowledge and Cooperation Among Regional Scholarly Traditions: Insights from the Maghreb and the Sahel (16th–19th Centuries)
Authors: Орлов В.В.
Published: June 2024

В статье рассмотрена историческая ретроспектива культурных и интеллектуальных взаимосвязей между Северной Африкой и Сахелем – исламизированным регионом, прилегающим с севера и юга к пустыне Сахара. Исследованы причины и характерные черты магрибинского интеллектуального первенства в процессах воспроизводства религиозной учености в Тропической Африке в свете событий ежегодного паломничества африканских мусульман в Мекку. Показаны исторические и культурные предпосылки широкого распространения влияния магрибинских суфийских братств в странах Сахеля. Автор прослеживает динамику географии «священного знания» в исламской Африке XVI–XIX вв. и доказывает, что она коррелирует с финансово-экономической активностью крупных суфийских объединений (Тиджанийа, Кадирийа и др.), которые организовывали местную и межрегиональную торговлю и обеспечивали безопасность караванных трасс. Особое внимание уделено анализу многогранной деятельности суфийских обителей, которые выполняли роль внегородских центров обучения, обладали значительными библиотеками и располагали кадрами высокопрофессиональных преподавателей исламских духовных дисциплин. Изучены родоплеменные и интеллектуальные связи между верхушкой суфийских братств и аристократическими семьями Сахары, служившими проводниками их интересов в центральных и западных территориях Африканского континента.

The article explores the historical retrospective of cultural and intellectual exchanges between North Africa and the Sahel, an Islamized region flanking the Sahara Desert. The study investigates the factors and traits contributing to the predominance of Maghribi intellectual influence in perpetuating religious scholarship in Tropical Africa, particularly considering the yearly pilgrimage of African Muslims to Mecca. It illustrates the historical and cultural underpinnings behind the widespread influence of Maghribi Sufi brotherhoods in the Sahel region. The author investigates the geographical distribution of 'sacred knowledge' in Islamic Africa from the 16th to the 19th century, demonstrating its correlation with the financial and economic activities of major Sufi groups like Tijaniyyah and Qadiriyya, which facilitated local and regional trade and ensured the safety of caravan routes. Significant focus is placed on the multifaceted activities of Sufi monasteries, which acted as rural centers of learning, housed extensive libraries, and employed highly skilled instructors of Islamic spiritual practices. The study delves into the tribal and intellectual ties between the leaders of Sufi brotherhoods and the aristocratic families of the Sahara, who acted as intermediaries for their interests across central and western Africa.
Sacred Spaces and the Eastern Expedition of Napoleon Bonaparte

Статья посвящена столкновению различных типов восприятия сакральных пространств на Ближнем Востоке в эпоху похода Наполеона Бонапарта в Египет и Сирию. Интегральному «актуальному» восприятию святых мест противопоставлено восприятие «мемориальное», а им обоим – «секулярное» мышление прибывших в Палестину представителей европейской цивилизации. Источником анализа стали мысли и чувства находившихся на рубеже XVIII–XIX вв. на Ближнем Востоке мусульман и христиан, османских подданных и европейцев, оставивших заметки, летописи и воспоминания на арабском, османcком, греческом, французском, английском и итальянском языках.

The article is devoted to the clash of different types of perception of sacred spaces in the Middle East during the era of Napoleon Bonaparte’s campaign in Egypt and Syria. The integral ‘actual’ perception of the holy places is opposed by the ‘memorial’ perception, and both were opposed by the ‘secular’ thinking of representatives of European civilization who arrived in Palestine. The source of the analysis was the thoughts and feelings of those who were at the turn of the 18th--19th centuries in the Middle East: Muslims and Christians, Ottoman subjects and Europeans who left notes, chronicles and memoirs in Arabic, Ottoman, Greek, French, English and Italian.

AVALIAÇÃO DO PANORAMA DA LOGÍSTICA REVERSA DE MEDICAMENTOS EM FARMÁCIAS PÚBLICAS: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Lins Estrela Aleff , Costa e Sá Lima Iris , Islene Holanda Moreira Carla , Guilherme Ferreira Marques Galvão José
Published: June 2024

Introdução: Nos últimos anos, observa-se o aumento na produção de resíduos sólidos, e estima-se que, até 2025, 2,2 bilhões de toneladas de lixo sejam produzidos a cada ano. Nesse contexto, está inserida a logística reversa, que busca reduzir os impactos causados pelos resíduos na saúde pública e no meio ambiente. Os medicamentos vencidos e em desuso estão entre os resíduos, e necessitam de atenção devido ao dano que podem provocar. No Brasil, a partir de 2010, foi instituído o Plano Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, que pode ser considerado o ponto de partida para discussão sobre o assunto. Objetivo: O presente estudo objetivou analisar o panorama da logística reversa de medicamentos domiciliares vencidos e em desuso em pontos de coleta instalados em farmácias públicas. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão bibliográfica, que foi realizado nas bases de dados SciELO, Google Acadêmico e PubMed. Foram incluídos trabalhos que abordavam a temática entre os anos de 2015 e 2024, e materiais inerentes à atualização sobre a logística reversa de produtos farmacêuticos. Foram utilizados no estudo 20 trabalhos, que foram selecionados após a leitura dos resumos. Verificou-se que, a partir de 2010, diversas leis e planos sobre a logística reversa foram instituídos, e o assunto tem sido discutido. Entretanto, estudos apontam que isso tem acontecido de maneira lenta, e necessita de maior atenção. Na Paraíba existe legislação estadual, e no município de João Pessoa também há legislação sobre o descarte de medicamentos. Ademais, observou-se que a população, de forma geral, não possui boa instrução a respeito do assunto, e que informá-la acerca do assunto é fundamental para que se tenha eficácia no descarte correto de medicamentos. Acerca das classes de medicamentos mais referidas no descarte estão antibióticos, benzodiazepínicos, anti-hipertensivos, anti-inflamatórios e gastroprotetores. O profissional farmacêutico foi mencionado em diversos estudos, como indispensável e fundamental para promoção de educação em saúde a respeito do descarte correto de medicamentos. Resultados: Desta maneira, a logística reversa de medicamentos vencidos e/ou em desuso possui uma relevância considerável diante dos aspectos econômicos e ambientais no Brasil e no mundo. Mesmo contendo legislações que esclareçam e oriente acerca da execução do processo em si, tornou-se evidente que medidas educativas para com a população, bem como atitudes positivas dentro do corpo profissional dos farmacêuticos atuantes e futuros profissionais farmacêuticos é indispensável.

Durability of Fresh Skipjack Fish (Katsuwonus pelamis) by Soaking in Chitosan Solution during Storage at Room Temperature based on Total Volatile Base (TVB) Value
Authors: Akerina Febrina Olivia , Kour Femsy
Published: June 2024

Fish is a food that easily deteriorates in quality. After the fish is caught or dies, the decomposition process begins to occur, this process lasts 12-20 hours at tropical temperature conditions, depending on the species, fishing method, and fishing equipment. The cause of the decline in fish quality is the activity of bacteria and enzymes by breaking down the components of the fish's body tissue, resulting in physical changes, namely softening of the meat and chemical changes that produce a foul smell due to volatile compounds. This research aims to determine the effect of chitosan solution on the durability of fresh skipjack tuna during storage based on the Total Volatile Base (TVB) value. The results of the research showed that the average TVB content of fresh skipjack tuna from treatment (AB) ranged from 8.48 - 16.78 mg N/100 g, still in the fresh category. BNT follow-up tests showed that the treatment of chitosan concentration and storage time significantly affected the skipjack tuna’s TVB value.

The rise of portable battery-powered devices has emphasized the significance of low power IC design. Embedded SRAM units have become indispensable elements within contemporary SOCs due to their substantial footprint. In research circles, SRAM is highly regarded as a semiconductor memory type, highlighting its crucial role in the VLSI sector. In this paper, 6T, 8T and 10T SRAM cells design is estimated for power consumption and delay. This proposed work presents the schematic, simulation of analysis of 6T, 8T and 10T SRAM cells at 45 nm technology. The Cadence Virtuoso software is utilized for creating schematic diagrams and layouts, while the ASSURA library is employed for conducting design rule checks (DRC) and layout versus schematic (LVS) comparisons to verify the alignment between the layout and the schematic. In the process, a low VDD of 1 V is taken for the design. The results shows that 10T SRAM is efficient in terms of read and write delay and power consumptions.
