Ivan Aksakov on the “qualitative force” of the Russian people
Authors: Narezhnyi Anatolii I.
Published: September 2022

One of the urgent problems of the national public consciousness of the second half of the nineteenth century is connected with the comprehension of the state and prospects of the development of the Russian people in the context of the formation of nations and national states in Europe and the related attempts of foreign authors to “range” nationalities according to the degree of thoroughness of their claims to be state-forming, among other things, by means of assimilation of other nationalities. The article presents a detailed analysis of the views of Ivan S. Aksakov, the main spokesman of the thoughts on this problem in the Slavophile environment, who shared the idea that the state needs a leading nationality, assimilating other national groups or capable of attracting the peoples who maintain their political independence in a single state with its goals and programs. The publicist defined the limits of the capabilities of the Russian people by the state of their “qualitative strength” or assimilation potential, highlighting two stages in the process of its development according to the possibilities of implementing the most important criterion – success in assimilation of non-Russian tribes and peoples. According to the publicist, in the era of Kievan Rus and the Tsardom of Muscovy, the Russian people represented a single community that believed in itself and its historical destiny, and under its influence other nationalities “became Russian by themselves.” The publicist assesses the second, imperial, stage as a time of negative changes in the condition of the Russian people, which resulted from the transformations introduced by Peter the Great: the loss of their former unity, the manifestation of the traits of “non-nationality” and “Europeanization” by the national elite, uncritical perception of foreign experience and lifestyle. As a result of these changes, in Aksakov’s opinion, the Russian people largely lost their assimilation capacity and the state lost its strength and unity that had been inherent in it earlier, which undermined Aksakov’s faith in the prospects for the existence of a multi-tribal Russian Empire.

Published: September 2022

Almost always the results of theoretical research do not bring the desired result in practice. This is especially true if there is at least one alternative (competitive) option for applying the process. Production of the liquefied natural gas is a prime example of the need for an understanding of the choice of a single process option that will provide performance indicators with optimal energy efficiency and acceptable safety during the preliminary design stage of a project. One of the research steps may be a comparative analysis of the results of practical (operation of similar facilities) and theoretical (thermodynamic analysis) assessments of the choice of the natural gas liquefaction process at the stage of the feasibility study of the gas field development project (without considering the financial component). The task of the presented study was solved based on the indirect comparative analysis of the results of an expert evaluation of operation and theoretical results of a thermodynamic analysis of the liquefaction processes for a project in the territory of the Russian Federation. The following studies were conducted: choice of LNG technologies; expert evaluation of large-capacity projects for production of the liquefied natural gas in the climatic conditions close to the Arctic; thermodynamic analysis of the energy efficiency of the technological process of large-tonnage production of the liquefied natural gas in the territory of the Russian Federation. The result of the study is the integration of safety and efficiency for making a decision on the choice of the technological process of the natural gas liquefaction at the stage of the Safety Case of the gas field development project.

The results are given related to the analytical studies of the causes of accidents occurrence and abnormal operating modes of electric receivers in the medium-voltage networks. It is established that the main cause of damage is the single-phase earth fault mode. It is established that the main cause of damage is a single-phase ground fault. It is found that a long single-phase ground fault increases the likelihood of transition to a more severe phase-to-phase short circuit. It is accompanied by immediate shutdown and long downtime of the equipment, large economic losses, as well as the appearance of touch and step voltages that are dangerous for people. It is identified that the earth fault current in a network with an isolated neutral will decrease in proportion to the decrease in the coefficient of the share of the transient resistance in the total earth fault current. Analysis of the operability of protection against single-phase earth faults is carried out on the example of a section of 6 kV distribution network of the coal mining enterprise JSC Polosukhinskaya Mine. Experimental studies of the efficiency of the functioning of non-directional current protection against single-phase earth faults were carried out. In the event of an incomplete single-phase earth fault, a drop in the zero-sequence current in the protected line invariably leads to a critical decrease in the sensitivity coefficient. There is a violation of the selectivity of the protection action, as a result of which the probability of electrical injury to the maintenance personnel increases. Boundary conditions for stable operation of relay protection and automation systems in case of incomplete single-phase earth faults are established. Definition of these conditions allows developing new algorithms for the operation of non-directional current protection in order to improve the electrical safety of the operating personnel.

Efficient individual protection of the employees from air pollution requires high quality respirators, their correct selection and use. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) prepared standards that can become the basis for the development of similar standards in Russia. However, direct copying of the texts from ISO documents to GOST can reduce the efficiency of the employee protection. When using personal respiratory protection equipment, exhaled air with a high content of carbon dioxide fills the mask and is then inhaled again. ISO standard, which substantiates the requirements for the permissible concentration of CO2 in the inhaled air, ignores the available information on CO2 toxicity and Russian hygiene standards. This may lead to the certification and issuance of personal respiratory protective equipment to the employees, in the use of which the concentration of carbon dioxide on inhalation will exceed the maximum allowable concentration. In order for the efficiency of the personal respiratory protection equipment to correspond to the degree of air pollution, the protection coefficient was applied and measured. Significant differences between the efficiency of personal respiratory protection equipment in real and laboratory conditions are considered. The proposed ISO method for determining efficiency may lead to the use of respiratory protective equipment that is known to be ineffective. Using personal respiratory protection equipment it is required to change gas mask filters in a timely manner. When assessing their condition, ISO standard forbids relying on the subjective reaction of the employee feelings. At the same time, a more reliable method is ignored - introduction of special sensors. Recommendations are given to avoid all of these shortcomings.

Preserving the health of the employees, reducing morbidity and maintaining the quality of life of people employed at the mining enterprises are related to the priority tasks of the state social policy in the field of professional activity. And the extraction of raw materials and the production of light metals are important tasks in the industrialized country. One of the risk groups, which is under the constant negative impact of a complex of the unfavorable production factors, includes miners engaged in the extraction of carnallite for the production of metallic magnesium. Specific working conditions lead to the development of a number of diseases among the personnel of the mining enterprises and can reduce life expectancy. When assessing the working conditions of miners, it is advisable to consider the factors of the natural and industrial environment at the mining sites, even if they belong to the category of low intensity. The peculiarity of the natural environment of carnallite sites is due to high air humidity and the formation of hydroaerosols, which contribute to the active sorption of dust components in the course of work. An important element in assessing the impact of industrial environment factors on the human body is the analysis of its physiological reactions during a work shift, especially the process of fatigue formation, since it is this state of a person that can cause incidents. Health risk assessment of the miners has now acquired particular relevance. The most acceptable approach involves taking into account the production environment and determining the class of the working conditions. And the subsequent risk calculation should only confirm these primary data and focus on ensuring occupational safety.
Power Relations and Social Classes in Pengakuan Pariyem by Linus Suryadi AG: Reflection of Masculine Ideology
Authors: Ekasiswanto Rudi , Richardus Wisma Nugraha Christianto , Udasmoro Wening
Published: September 2022

The study aims to explore power relations and social classes as the reflections of the masculine ideology of the author in the novel Pengakuan Pariyem by Linus Suryadi AG. The theories implemented in the study are van Dijk’s power relations and social classes theory and Connell’s masculinity theory. The study is qualitative descriptive and applies the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) method, used to dismantle the ideology that is produced and reproduced through the language within the novel. The research data are lingual units that indicate power relations and social classes which simultaneously reflect the notion of masculinity.  The results of the study are as follows. First, Pariyem as the central character in the novel lives within a hierarchical and dualistic Javanese society. Her submission as the babu (housemaid) of a priyayi (noble) family does not only lead Pariyem to be dominated symbolically, but also legitimizes the priyayi (aristocrats) power over wong cilik (commoners).  It is reinforced by the representations of the priyayis’ world views in terms of culture, aristocracy, bureaucracy, and education orientation. It shows that priyayis are culturally dominant. Secondly, since Pariyem is a character created by a male author, her behaviors and actions reflect the ideology of masculinity. Rather than voicing women, the power relations that Pariyem experiences through the events constructed in the novel show that she embodies the masculine ideology, or masculinity.
The Ordinariness of Code-meshing in the Indonesian Linguistic Landscapes
Authors: Sugiharto Setiono
Published: September 2022

Code-meshing as a strategic linguistic practice has been considered a rarity in a high-stake writing practice (e.g. academic writing). Studies in composition scholarship have demonstrated that such a practice needs arduous intellectual endeavors and extra rhetorical efforts to be realized. That is, code-meshing requires an exceptionally high linguistic adeptness, language awareness, and rhetorical sensitivity in order to be performed effectively. As such, the products of code-meshing in scholarly writing are often seen as a marked form of textual realization. This article shows that while strenuous struggles are needed to practice code-meshing in academic writing (i.e. high-stake translingual practice), such a practice can be performed as mundane, ordinary, unremarkable, and relaxed activities (i.e. low-stake translingual practice) in linguistic landscapes or signage displayed in public places. Illustrations of the code-meshed texts in the latter case will be provided, and then examined to account for their ordinariness.  In light of the vibrant low-stake translingual practice, I shall develop an important notion of grassroots performativity to suggest the everydayness of quotidian language practices enacted by multilingual language users in their own community.

Published: September 2022

Androgens play a key role in the physiology of the female body and the reproductive system. Androgen receptor expression in the various tissues points to the importance of androgens in the regulation of the female sexual and social functioning. The study aimed to evaluate sexual functioning in women with infertility and diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) using the Female Sexual Functioning Index questionnaire (FSFI). A cross-sectional study of 496 patients with infertility and DOR assessed the degree of sexual dysfunction in conjunction with the changes in the androgenic profiles as indicated by the androstenedione levels in the blood serum. Women with infertility and DOR were significantly more likely to report changes in sexual functioning, including a decrease in libido and in the quality and frequency of sexual relations. Furthermore, patients with normal androstenedione levels generally significantly outscored patients with decreased androstenedione levels (average questionnaire scores 21.2 ± 7.2 and 15.17 ± 3.0 respectively), indicating a lesser degree of sexual dysfunction in the former group; on the other hand, the latter group reported increased pain and decreased attraction, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction. Hormonal profile changes in patients with DOR, including decreased androstenedione levels, significantly impact sexual functioning, and their detection in clinical practice will allow to objectify complaints at an earlier state in order to assess the severity of sexual dysfunction and determine further personalized management tactics.

Metformin in its protonated form as metformin hydrochloride is used worldwide as an advanced antidiabetic drug for type 2 diabetes. Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance of cells are the main causes of this disease. For patients with diabetes, metformin hydrochloride (MET) works by improving cell sensitivity to insulin.

It has been shown that metformin with methyl orange (MO) forms an ionic associate that can be isolated in solid form and is suitable for the creation of plasticized membrane potentiometric metformin-sensitive sensors.

The energy efficiency of IA formation is substantiated by the method of mathematical modeling. Molecular modeling of MO- + MET+ systems and related calculations were performed using the PM3 method for various initial variants of counter ion relative to each other (single point procedure). Geometric optimization of ions was performed by the method of molecular mechanics MM+. The standard enthalpy (ΔH0) of ion formation and the association “MET+ + MO-” was determined by the semi-empirical method PM3. The difference in the energy of formation of the ionic associate and the sum of the energies of formation of its components is 258 kJ/mol. Therefore, the process of IA formation is thermodynamically advantageous.

Modeling and optimization of membrane composition is carried out. The results of the study of the influence of the nature of plasticizers on the electroanalytical properties of the developed sensors indicate that the best plasticizer for the system is TCP or DNF. For these solvents, the product of the dielectric constant and Rohrschneider polarity (ε × PR) is 123.5 and 175, respectively. For plasticizers that were less effective (DBF and DEF), these values are 235.6 and 326 respectively. For membranes with the same content of plasticizer of one homologous series (DEF, DBF, DOF, DNF), the slope of the Nernst function decreases with increasing dielectric constant of the plasticizer solvent. It is shown that the working pH range of the electrode is from 2 to 11. The drift potential does not exceed 1-3 mV/day. Stable values of electrode potentials are set for 5-15 s. The stability of the electroanalytical characteristics of the optimized membranes can be traced for at least three months. The developed sensors show satisfactory selectivity in relation to a number of substances and ions. The 300-1000 amount of glucose, starch, polyvinyl alcohol, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+ ions do not interfere with MET determination. This, in turn, allows the practical use of developed MET-sensitive sensors in a variety of objects.

A method of potentiometric determination of metformin has been developed, which has been tested in its determination in dosage forms.

The shift from physical media to digital media has become increasingly unavoidable since the Covid-19 pandemic began in early 2020. However, with or without this pandemic, changes in this medium are unavoidable. Virtual art exhibitions are starting to be commonly applied on various occasions for the sake of the sustainability of the art ecosystem in Indonesia. The existence of virtual exhibitions is not to replace conventional exhibitions but as an alternative approach that can be taken by art activists. Anxiety about virtual exhibitions is due to the limitations of virtual exhibitions in creating emotional connections with the various parties involved. Based on this, this study will discuss the efforts to implement gamification design that replicates the physical interactions that commonly occur in an exhibition. The purpose of implementing gamification design is to maximize user experience (UX) when visiting exhibitions virtually so that the experience value of virtual exhibitons can increase. The output of this research is the concept of gamification in a virtual exhibition.

The increasing interest in smart city development provides an opportunity for retail to enter into what is known as the smart retail concept. Smart retail is a smart shopping concept with the help of technology. One of the technologies that can be used in the implementation of smart retail is smartphones. In Indonesia, large supermarkets such as Yogya and Super Indo have implementing smartphone technology, into their mobile applications. However, based on the results of user reviews in the App store/Playstore media, the application is still considered not very effective. This is what makes researchers interested in evaluating mobile applications for supermarkets. The method used in this research is mixed method by conducting Focus Group Discussions and Questionnaires. The results of the data were analyzed with the aim of finding problems commonly experienced by visitors. There were 6 FGD participants and 137 questionnaire respondents included in this study. Based on the results, it is found that the current applications do not meet consumer needs, this is because consumers prefer to shop directly at the supermarket. However, in the process of in-store shopping activity, problems are still often found, such as difficulty in finding the location of the product, the product is unavailable, there is no information on the price of the product on display, and so on. Thus, the type of application that has the potential as a solution to this problem is an application to help visitors in doing in-store shopping activities at the supermarket.

Authors: Shukri Askari Ehan Sabah , Wisnoe Wirachman
Published: September 2022

The pressure drops and flow characteristics in a diffuser fitted with a semi-dimpled tube are numerically studied. Air is selected as a working fluid and its physical properties are modelled using pressure and velocity distribution. The study reveals that every semi-dimple acts as a vortex generator. They provide the flow with intensive vortices between the dimpled surface and the diffuser wall. Therefore, they cause an enhancement in the pressure drop inside the diffuser. The performance of the dimples consisting of sphere type dimples with 5 mm in diameter. Three “Reynolds number” operated in the range of 25000 ˂Re˂ 50000 that is based on the hydraulic diameter of the diffuser Dh. The variation in Reynolds number is examined to further investigations of the pressure drop and flow characteristics of the diffuser. The numerical simulations are conducted using incompressible steady-state Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equations and the turbulence model “RNG k-e is utilized in the current study. The flow characteristics of the diffuser with semi-dimpled tube are analysed and compared in terms of pressure contour, velocity profile, and velocity vectors, at the operating range of Reynolds numbers. The results are discussed to point out the flow structure mechanisms. It is found that equipping the diffuser with a semi-dimpled tube leads to an increase in the recirculation and vortices inside and near the dimples area. Therefore, they have a considerable influence on the flow field. For the diffuser equipped with a semi-dimpled tube, it is noted that the flow characteristics depend on the Reynolds number. The pressure drop in the flow direction becomes lower with increasing Reynolds number. The findings indicate that for the semi-dimples, increasing Reynolds number increases the velocity distribution significantly due to better mixing of the air.

Poly-lactic acid (PLA) is an attractive biopolymer where it is biocompatible with respect to biomedical applications. Hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics have been broadly practiced as bone substitutes because of their chemical composition close to the mineral phase of bone. Indirectly, the combination of PLA and HA would be a suitable biomaterial candidate for implant and bone repair applications. In this study, the feedstock composition of PLA/HA has been investigated to obtain good rheological properties before undergoing an injection moulding process. The process begins with mixing the specific powder loadings of 60 wt.% PLA/ 40 wt.% HA at 30 rpm of rotating speed and 180 oC of mixing temperature. Then, the feedstock is evaluated using a capillary rheometer at three different temperatures, 140 oC, 150 oC, and 160 oC. Feedstock exhibiting pseudoplastic flow (n<1) is chosen for the injection moulding process. The result shows injected moulded part successfully produced at barrel and nozzle temperature of 160 oC, mould temperature of 37 oC and injection pressure of 0.7 MPa. The injected parts were characterized for physical and mechanical properties. The PLA/HA specimen density is 1.564 ± 0.02 g/cm3. The Young’s Modulus of the tensile is 1.82 ± 0.5 GPa within the range of human bone, 1.15 to 5.44 GPa.

We present a thorough experimental investigation of a simple-built low-speed water tunnel that could facilitate the study of some of the primary fluid dynamic concepts based on quantitative flow measurements using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The water tunnel system is designed and built using a simple arrangement of a double reservoir tank and a centrifugal pump that drives the fluid flow at low speed into a square cross-sectional and relatively short test section. The study shows that the system reasonably and steadily generates fully developed flows inside the test section with <20% of point velocity variations. Based on the fluid-structure tests, it is also observed that the system could produce moderately consistent boundary layer separation phenomena with the variance of the area mean vorticity within 25%. With this performance, we show that the system fulfills the essential requirement to be used as a simple, easy-to-operate, and easy-to-maintain educational platform to study fluid dynamic phenomena related to the interaction of a static sub-merged object and fluid flow.

Critical buckling temperature of laminated plate under thermal load varied linearly along the thickness, is developed using a higher-order shape function which depends on a parameter ‘‘m’’, which is improved to obtain results for thin and thick plates. Laminated plates’ equations of motion are obtained using virtual work principle and solved for simply supported boundary conditions. Angle and cross laminates thermal buckled mode shapes with different E1/E2 proportion, number of plies, (α2/α1) proportion, aspect ratios, are investigated. It is observed that this shape function gives thermal buckling for thin and thick plates but with m = 0.05 that agree well with other theories and linear distribution of temperature gives a rise to critical temperature approach to 50% than those caused by uniform thermal distribution.
The Philosophy of Debt Burden Management in Commercial Organizations

Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the financial system and the financial condition of commercial organizations in the real sector. Therefore, the development of new solutions in the financial management system and their implementation in practice is vital to overcome the crisis. The main purpose of this paper is to improve the behavioural theory of capital by developing a learning model. According to finance management philosophy, the forecast results were used to adjust the marginal ranges between a specific commercial organization’s debt burden, capital structure, and indicators of the organization’s liabilities secured by the organization’s assets. One of the main advantages of the proposed approach is the determination of marginal ranges in line with the predicted preferred variants of liabilities for the sets of indicators assessing the debt burden. Within the framework of this article, this method was implemented for the studied Armenian organizations. The proposed model, with an overview of the philosophy of financial management, makes it possible to determine the general marginal ranges of the indicators that are the basis of financial policy development.

The proposed study shows that all social processes, including gastronomic culture, are considered in the context of identity. The deployment of post-globalization processes captures the fact that there is a dialectical interaction of the global and the local, where the global is localized, and the local acquires a global scale. For example, McDonald’s fast food restaurants not only operate in many countries around the world but also take into account local (national) traditions and customs (culture, religion), and their service system has become a methodology for many national food establishments around the world. Conversely, the local one acquires a global dimension of existence, such as sushi, pizza, pasta, borscht, and other dishes that have long gone beyond national cuisines. Thus, gastronomic culture forms a gastronomic identity, a national identity, which at the present stage of intercultural communication, is a “business card” of the nation, ethnic group, traditions and customs, which allows productive and interesting gastronomic tourism. It is thanks to it that acquaintance with gastronomic traditions, culture, and symbols, provides information exchange between people, eras and cultures.
