Authors: Chernichkin Dmitriy A. , Krivenko Anastasiya I.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the studying of the opinions and sentiments of users of regional communities in the social network VKontakte using methods of machine analysis of text data, supplemented by sociological research methods. In the course of the study, we identified a list of current topics discussed by the inhabitants of the region, determined the most frequently mentioned persons, and analyzed the tone of their mention. Additionally, on the basis of the obtained results, the index of subjective (non-) well-being (ISW) was calculated for each district of the region and a map of the emotional coloring of posts from the communities of the analyzed social network was built. The results of the study can be used to monitor the situation in the region, finding problem areas, elicitation opinion leaders (popular personalities of the region that have a special influence on the opinion of the population), as well as identify the most interesting topics and urgent problems for the population. In perspective, this method of monitoring the social sentiments of the population of the region can be improved by automating the addition of new data to the analytical project. In the future, the addition of mathematical models to the system will make it possible to create graphs for predicting further changes in the region.
LONDONSKA KONFERENCIJA, STVARANjE ALBANSKE DRŽAVE 1912. GODINE I ODNOSI BALKANSKIH SAVEZNIKA
Authors:   Akademija za nacionalnu bezbednost, Srbija, Vučković Vladimir
Published: October 2023

The First Balkan War was by its significance and consequences a far more serious event than it was believed up until today. One of the reasons for this could be the start of the Great War which to the largest extent cast a shadow on everything that came before it. However, at conferences in London in 1912/13, decisions were made that would greatly impact the future of the Balkans and Europe as well. The liberation of the great area of European Turkey by Balkan allies came as a big surprise to European forces. The banishment of Turks from Europe further disturbed Europe, especially Austro-Hungary and Russia. The new boarders in the Balkans were supposed to reflect the power and influence of great powers in their geopolitical combinations. Austro-Hungary managed to defeat Russian influence by creating the Albanian state, which Serbia had to accept. Even such a success did not satisfy Vienna, so they embarked on diplomatic action to persuade Bulgarian representatives to attack former allies and thus break up the Balkan alliance, one of the more serious works of Russian diplomacy in the Balkans. Due to their megalomaniacal aspirations for dominance in the Balkans, Bulgaria attacked Serbia and Greece and thus caused the second Balkan War.
ORGANIZACIJA JUGOSLOVENSKIH NACIONALISTA U JUŽNOJ SRBIJI (1921-1929)
Authors:   Institute of History Belgrade, Serbia, Dragosavljević Vasilije
Published: October 2023

The subject of this article is the activities of the Organization of Yugoslav Nationalists (ORJUNA) in the territory of Southern Serbia in the period 1922-1929. The paper reconstructs the process of building the organizational structure of ORJUNА in South Serbia, as well as the ideological motivation and daily political activity of its membership in this area. The central theme of the work is the relationship of ORJUNА towards terrorist organizations - the Kosovo Committee and the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (VMRO) and the claims of neighboring countries, primarily Italy, Bulgaria and Albania, on the territory of Southern Serbia. Special attention is paid to the actions of the ORJUNA militia (the so-called Action Squads) and the conflicts of this paramilitary formation with the Albanian separatists - Kačacs and supporters of Jamiyet. We have analyzed in detail the ideological background of the propaganda work of the South Serbian ORJUNA aimed at winning VMRO activists and the Bulgarian ruling circles for the concept of uniting all South Slavs. In the final part of the article we have presented ORJUNА’s propaganda work among the Slavic-speaking population of Aegean Macedonia, as well as expansionist plans at the expense of Greece and Albania.

Authors:   Institute for Contemporary History, Belgrade, Simić Bojan
Published: October 2023

Born and raised in Niš, Slavoljub Djera Petrović was partisan commander in South Serbia during the Second World War. After the war he became a diplomat. With only 33 he was appointed as Yugoslav envoy in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. In Buenos Aires, Petrović faced several challenges like repairing errors of his predecessors considering relations between Yugoslavia and Argentina, stabilizing the trade problems and difficult relations within the diplomatic mission itself. After succeeding in elevating the interstate relations, Petrović was given the rank of ambassador in 1956 as the one of the first diplomats born and raised in South Serbia to be named ambassador.One of the main challenges Petrović faced in South America was problem of ustaša emigration. When he resumed his post, Yugoslav diplomacy was already certain that Ante Pavelić, the head of the Independent state of Croatia was also in Argentina. Over the years, Petrović tried to inform his colleagues, journalists who Pavelić is and what was his role during the Second World War and influence public opinion in Argentina in a favorable direction. After an assignation attempt on Pavelić in spring 1957, those efforts were doubled and resulted in Pavelić’s escape to Spain. At the end of his diplomatic mission in Argentina, Petrović received medal of San Martin as recognition for its good service and his role in improvement of Yugoslav-Argentine relations.

Poverty is a condition when a person lives below the poverty line and is unable to meet his basic needs. Poverty is one of the economic and social problems that is difficult to overcome. Province of D.I. Yogyakarta is the province with the highest poverty on the island of Java and ranks 11th out of 34 of the poorest provinces in Indonesia in 2021. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the minimum wage and per capita expenditure on poverty in the district/cities of the province of D.I. Yogyakarta with the chosen model, namely the Random Effect Model (REM). The data used in this study are panel data for 2013-2021, the data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression with the Generalized Least Square (GLS) method with eviews 12. The results show that simultaneously the minimum wage and per capita expenditure have an effect towards poverty in the district/cities of the Province of D.I Yogyakarta. The results of the study also prove that partially the minimum wage does not have a significant effect on poverty, and per capita expenditure has a significant negative effect on poverty, which means that an increase in per capita expenditure will reduce poverty.

Jalan Raya Daan Mogot KM.14, Cengkareng, West Jakarta, has a type of clay soil where the soil is very sensitive to changes in water content; in dry conditions, it has a high carrying capacity, while in a saturated state, it has a low carrying capacity. This is characterized by road damage that occurs at the location when the rainy season arrives. One way to improve the base soil of the site is through the soil stabilization method with the addition of chemicals, namely fly ash. This study used fly ash as a stabilization material, namely by adding fly ash with a mixture variation of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% to the weight of soil samples with a watering period of 1, 7, and 14 days. The result of the CBR value without soaking (unsoaked) of the original soil of 2.933% of the land belongs to the very poor group because the value of CBR ranges from 0% to 3%. Then, it is necessary to improve the original soil with soil stabilization with variations in the rate and period of expansion. The results of the study of CBR value without soaking (unsoaked) with the addition of fly ash can increase the value of native soil CBR along with the addition of fly ash mix variation; however, variations of 15% and 20% decreased from day 7 to day 14 days. The maximum value occurs at a mixed variable rate of 20% with a 7-day watering age and a CBR value without soaking of 17.835%.

Post-COVID-19 chronic suppurative gingivitis is an emerging clinical entity that has attracted increasing interest in the medical and dental community because of its association with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and its prolonged and potentially debilitating manifestation in the periodontal system. This article provides a comprehensive review of this entity, addressing its epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and current therapeutic approaches. The epidemiology of post-COVID-19 chronic suppurative gingivitis is characterized by its occurrence following SARS-CoV-2 infection, with a variable incidence in convalescent patients. A higher prevalence has been observed in individuals with underlying systemic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension, suggesting an individual susceptibility component. From a pathogenic perspective, it has been postulated that SARS-CoV-2 infection could trigger an overactive immune response and chronic inflammation at the gingival level, contributing to persistent suppurative gingivitis. The involvement of viral factors and host response in the pathogenesis of this entity are under ongoing investigation. The clinical presentation of post-COVID-19 chronic suppurative gingivitis includes characteristic signs such as gingivorrhage, gingival edema, superficial ulcerations, and the production of purulent exudate in the gums. These findings, in combination with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, are critical for diagnosis.

Implementing Change to Arrest the Decline in Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) for Adolescent Girls in Two Rural and Regional High Schools
Authors: Miller Judith , Puglisi Lauren , Perry Janine
Published: October 2023

Inactivity has been linked to a range of lifestyle conditions such as hypertension, type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease (World Health Organisation, 2009). Engagement in physical activity and in sport has been consistently reported to decline as the general population ages (Telama et al., 2005). In particular, the age of adolescence has been identified as a time of decreasing physical activity most often at a greater rate than adjacent age groups (Booth et al., 1997; Trost et al., 2002; Webber et al., 2008). However, for adolescent girls, the decline in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) has been greater than their male peers specifically in New South Wales (NSW), Australia (Hardy, Okely & Booth, 2008). Physical activity and participation rates are lower in outer regional and remote areas of Australia when compared to participants living in metropolitan settings, and females in rural settings are the most inactive of all groups (AIHW, 2012: 206). Adolescent girls residing in rural contexts are emerging as being at a disadvantage when it comes to practicing healthy lifestyle choices (McKenzie et al., 2004). A lack of physical activity is one of the most modifiable risk factors related to the morbidity and mortality health outcomes of individuals (Brown et al., 2007; Warburton et al., 2006). In addition, physical and mental health is enhanced through regular physical activity, and general emotional well-being is reported to be heightened for all active age groups (Steptoe & Butler, 1996).
The Australian Curriculum
Authors: Drummond Aaron
Published: October 2023

“The Australian Curriculum promotes excellence and equity in education.” (ACARA, 2012a, p. 1) In 2008 it was agreed by the Australian Education Ministers that a national curriculum be implemented with the rationale that it would help to ensure high quality education for all young Australians (ACARA, 2012b). One reason for the shift to a standardised national curriculum is so that “School and curriculum authorities can collaborate to ensure high quality teaching and learning materials are available for all schools.” (ACARA, 2012b, p. 1, emphasis added). The Australian curriculum represents a huge shift in the manner in which education is legislated and delivered in Australia. Though there are benefits to the implementation of a national curriculum, there are also a variety of challenges. What does the implementation of the Australian Curriculum mean for nonmetropolitan schools? The statement by ACARA is indicative that rural schools will benefit equally from the implementation of the Australian Curriculum. However, some unique characteristics of rural areas mean that additional support may be required to ensure the successful implementation of a national curriculum in rural areas. Difficulty with accessing resources in rural areas may result in further challenges for rural schools. To support a nationwide implementation process that results in an equitable curriculum for all Australian children irrespective of their location, it may be necessary to differentiate support to rural and metropolitan schools. Drawing upon two surveys, one on the Australian Curriculum in rural areas previously published in Curriculum Perspectives and the other a survey of both rural and metropolitan school leaders on the implementation process, I explore the implementation of the Australian Curriculum in rural contexts. Although rural school leaders are overall supportive of the Australian curriculum, they do express dissatisfaction with the implementation process, specifically with the support they are receiving. The delay in the implementation of the Australian Curriculum appears to have resulted in marginally higher funding for non-metropolitan schools, but the overall funds available are both objectively and subjectively low. In order to ensure that the implementation of the Australian Curriculum is successful and remedying (c.f. enhancing) rural inequities, much more needs to be done to support its implementation in non-metropolitan schools.

Learnable Extended Activation Function for Deep Neural Networks
Authors: Bodyanskiy Yevgeniy , Kostiuk Serhii
Published: October 2023

This paper introduces Learnable Extended Activation Function (LEAF) - an adaptive activation function that combines the properties of squashing functions and rectifier units. Depending on the target architecture and data processing task, LEAF adapts its form during training to achieve lower loss values and improve the training results. While not suffering from the "vanishing gradient" effect, LEAF can directly replace SiLU, ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh, Swish, and AHAF in feed-forward, recurrent, and many other neural network architectures. The training process for LEAF features a two-stage approach when the activation function parameters update before the synaptic weights. The experimental evaluation in the image classification task shows the superior performance of LEAF compared to the non-adaptive alternatives. Particularly, LEAF-asTanh provides 7% better classification accuracy than hyperbolic tangents on the CIFAR-10 dataset. As empirically examined, LEAF-as-SiLU and LEAF-as-Sigmoid in convolutional networks tend to "evolve" into SiLU-like forms. The proposed activation function and the corresponding training algorithm are relatively simple from the computational standpoint and easily apply to existing deep neural networks.

"The most common modern technology for cutting float glass is cutting with cutting wheels, which have a wedge-shaped obtuse cross section and are made of hard alloys. Cutting glass is the creation of a system of cracks. During this, an area of destruction is inevitably formed, consisting of a large number of tiny digs and cracks that occur because of the action of the cutting tool. In the process of waterjet cutting, the depth of surface and lateral cracks increases. In addition, this increases the variation in the depth of the middle cracks. These factors worsen the quality of the cut and increase the likelihood of a split not along the cut. All this results in the necessity to ensure the wheel sharpening angle, pressure and cutting speed that are optimal for the quality of the cut. These optimal values depend on the thickness of the glass and the retained stresses in the glass. The quality of the cut depends on the number and depth of microcracks (especially the middle ones). With a decrease in the angle of sharpening of the wheel, an increase in cutting pressure and speed, the average depth of the median cracks increases, which has a positive effect on the quality of the cut. As a result of the conducted research, optimal parameters of waterjet cutting (treatment) were established, namely, the angle of sharpening of the wheel (110°-160°), cutting pressure (35 N) and speed, which is favorable for the quality of the cut and a reduction in the reject percentage. Keywords: stress-deformable state, glass, waterjet cutting, wheel, sharpening, sharpening angle. "
"STUDY OF REFINING OF PRIMARY ALUMINUM FROM IMPURITIES OF NON-FERROUS METALS USING «ACTIVE» GRAIN FILTERS BASED ON BORIAN ACID "
Authors: A. B. Kuandykov  , P. O. Bykov
Published: October 2023

"This article presents the results of comparative experimental studies on the complex two-stage processing of primary aluminum by flux treatment with boric acid (H3BO3) in a ladle with further filtration purification of the melt through granular filters and one-stage filtration purification of primary aluminum through active granular filters with boric acid additives. The research was carried out within the framework of grant funding by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan under the Zhas Galym competition under the IRN АР19175493 project «Development of technology for refining primary aluminum with active surface filters». The research results showed that a complex one-stage technology for cleaning raw aluminum from non-ferrous metal impurities using active filters reduces their content in primary aluminum. Laboratory studies showed a decrease in the content of vanadium by 53.3 %, copper by 19.8 %, magnesium by 49.6 %, manganese by 51.7 % and silicon by 97.1 % in primary aluminum when using the active filter cleaning method. A comparative analysis of aluminum purification methods showed that the issue of using active filters needs further study in order to determine the degree of purification from non-ferrous metal impurities, depending on various parameters of the active filter. Keywords: aluminum, non-ferrous metal impurities, filtration, boric acid, flux, active filter. "

Published: October 2023

"Reinforcing ropes are one of the most common types of products, consisting of seven steel wires widely used in engineering, construction, agriculture, and other industries. These products are in high demand in these industries due to their higher strength than reinforcing ropes consisting of 2 and 3 wires. In the production of Kaz-metiz LLP (Kaz-metiz), a wire was produced from two types of blanks (patented and chemically processed) to improve the mechanical properties of the rope. The blanks were tested for tension and bending. During the tensile test on the REM-100-M-1 stand, the first sample had high rates of breaking force and tensile strength of the wire. During the bending test, the ability of blanks to resist destruction under alternating deformations was determined. After the tests, rope samples with dimensions L = 520 mm and a diameter of 12 mm were made from these blanks for further testing for tensile, compression, and bending on the RGM-600-M-1 test bench. Based on the results of experimental and industrial studies, a type of blank was selected that meets the requirements for finished products manufactured by Kaz-metiz LLP (Kaz-metiz). Keywords: reinforcing ropes, testing, compression, metrological support, workpieces."
