Принципи побудови соціально-психологічної програми корекції суїцидонебезпечних станів особистості зрілого віку
Authors: Кованда Оксана
Published: November 2019

В статті показано, що трансформаційні зміни, які відбуваються в різних сферах суспільного життя, екологічне та економічне неблагополуччя, соціальна нестабільність посилюють вимоги до особистості зрілого віку, її успішної соціальної адаптації та підвищують ризик виникнення суїцидонебезпечних станів особистості зрілого віку. Iндивiдуально-психологiчнi особливостi особистості зрілого віку при таких станах визначаються динамiчною взаємодiєю психологiчних чинникiв двох видiв. Загальнi психологiчнi чинники пов'язанi iз iндивiдуальними психологiчними ресурсами резистентності стресу; ступiнь виявленості цих чинників визначає схильність до психосоматичного способу реагування на психотравмуючі ситуацiї. Дiя специфiчних психологiчних чинників обмежується iндивiдуально-психологiчними особливостями при окремих суїцидонебезпечних станах. Складнiсть феноменiв, що вивчаються, показала неадекватність редукцiйних, спрощених причинно-наслiдкових пояснювальних моделей суїцидонебезпечних станів. Дослiдження соціально-психологічних чинників і механiзмiв виникнення суїцидонебезпечних станів особистості зрілого віку доцільно проводити з використанням системних концептуальних побудов, у яких враховуються багатомiрність та багаторiвневість явищ, що розглядаються. Соціально-психологічна програма корекції суїцидонебезпечних станів особистості зрілого віку побудована на принципах системності, диференційованого прогнозування, динамічності та перспективності й складалася з діагностичного, формувально-відновлювального, контроль¬ного блоків із застосуванням когнітивно-біхевіорального підходу та механізмів інтеріоризації, рефлексії, опосередкування. При цьому завдання інтегративної психотерапії та профілактики суїцидонебезпечних станів особистості зрілого віку вирішувалися на особистісному рівні (розвиток навичок емоційної саморегуляції через поетапне формування рефлексивної здатності; трансформація дисфункціональних особистісних установок і переконань – ворожої картини світу, нереалістичних перфекціоністських стандартів, заборони на вираження почуттів, розвиток навичок психогігієни емоційного життя); на сімейному рівні (опрацювання (осмислення і відреагування) травматичного життєвого досвіду і подій сімейної історії); на інтерперсональному рівні (тренінг дефіцитарних соціальних навичок, розвиток здатності до близьких довірчих відносин, розширення інтерперсональних зв'язків).

Musical Shevchenko Series of Vladyslav Zaremba
Authors: Krulikovska Tetiana
Published: December 2019

The article deals with a generalized musicological analysis of the songs
from two vocal collection series, titled «Kobzar Tarasa Shevchenka» (Taras Shevchenko’s Kobzar) by the 19th century Ukrainian composer of Polish
origin Vladyslav Zaremba in order to attract attention to the composer’s
creative heritage, reveal the most typical features of his musical language
and determine their stylistics in the context of the 19th century musical
culture. Also the article attempts to specify the significance of the vocal works
collection in the context of developing the Ukrainian romance and the 19th
century Ukrainian T. Shevchenko series.The article focuses on the content of
vocal compositions associated with typical folk characters, as well as the
composer’s vision of his characters’ complex and rich inner world. The
article considers the works devoted to the themes of orphanhood, loneliness,
alien land, love, typical romantic motives of the Cossack will, sentiments of
grief and melancholy, which form the figurative and poetic content of
Shevchenko’s poems.The analysis is focused not only on V. Zaremba’s lyrical
songs, but also his vocal works, which raise the complex social issues of
difficult maidenhood, orphanhood, the search for better life, the main
characters’ romantic attempts to realize their dreams and the sad realities.
The main attention is focused on the role of the piano, which is interpreted by
the composer as an active participant in the dramatic action. However, the
piano version of V. Zaremba’s vocal works highlights an extremely important
and vivid element of the national sound sphere, namely the imitation of
playing the bandura, which performs the semantic role of the national
Ukrainian symbol and is perceived as an important component of the national
culture. Thus, the conducted analysis allows visualizing the figurative and
emotional world of T. Shevchenko’s poetry and deducing the values of the
bandura as a semiotic sign in the 19th century Ukrainian musical culture,
which will become especially noticeable in M. Lysenko’s works. An important
issue in analyzing the composer’s style is the focus on the synthesis of
European school achievements with the individual elements of the national
school as a certain stage in the development of Ukrainian professional music,
which replaces amateurism and dilettantism.

Authors: Tadyrova Solunai , Kulik Ekaterina
Published: December 2019

The article deals with the role of satellite images bank creation for the Altai Republic region for the purpose of monitoring the results application of particularly protected natural territories. Absence of access to relevant spatial data, concerning the analysis of processes in the protected woodlands, reserves and natural parks makes it necessary to choose reliable information resources. The applications of open data sources is offered. The surveys of natural and technical parameters, that should be taken into account in choosing images on geoportals such as the spectral set of channels, availability of cloud and snow cover and seasonal aspects, are suggested. Some recommendations concerning the establishment of mosaic composites on the basis of multi-temporal images surveys result are offered in order to obtain the most uniform images results distribution with minimum noticeable stitching lines and distinction in brightness/contrast parameters of images in each spectral channel.
Effect of Nanofluid on Cutting Temperature in Turning of Inconel 625 with Ceramic Tools
Authors: Yıldırım Çağrı
Published: December 2019

Inconel 625 is used extensively in critical parts of aircraft, especially gas turbine engines. However, the high strength, which is one of the reasons of choice, considerably reduces the workability of this material. In such a case, the most preferred method is the use of cutting fluid. On the other hand, the fact that conventional cutting fluids adversely affect the environment, worker health and production costs concerns the enterprises. Recently, researchers and businesses have been working hard to reduce the amount of coolant without reducing production efficiency. In this study, some cooling/lubrication strategies have been tried to serve this purpose. In other words, the Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) method and the MQL method containing 0.5% by volume nano Al2O3 additive were compared to dry processing. In addition, three different cutting speeds (120, 160, 200 m/min) and three different feeds (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 mm/rev) were chosen, as the behavior of the cooling / lubrication method under different cutting parameters was wondered. The Taguchi L9 vertical index was preferred for determining the number of experiments. Signal/Noise (S/N) ratio was effective in determining the optimum parameters. In addition, ANOVA analysis was performed to determine the effect levels of the parameters. In order to guide similar studies in the future, an estimation model was established through regression analysis. After the analysis of the test results, the optimum cutting temperature was obtained with a combination of vegetable cutting oil containing 0.5% Al2O3 by volume, cutting fluid of 120 m/min and feed rate of 0.05 mm/rev.
A numerical study for the effects of sub-channels on combined thermal and hydrodynamic effectiveness in a plate heat exchanger designed for balanced ventilation
Authors: Ünverdi Murat , Küçük Hasan
Published: December 2019

In this study, the effects of the number of sub-channels on the thermal and hydrodynamic performance of plate heat exchangers (PHEs) designed to be used in balanced ventilation systems have been investigated numerically. In the design of PHEs, Taguchi method was used for 4 different effective factors (average air flow velocity, channel height, number of sub-channels and plate material) in 3 levels. Numerical analyzes of PHE models were performed with a CFD based package program. In Taguchi analysis, 2 and 6 sub-channels PHE models obtained close results (<1%) in terms of the number of sub-channels according to the selected performance parameter (combined thermal and hydrodynamic effectiveness-CTHE). And thus, the changes in recovered thermal power, pressure drop, flow effectiveness and thermal effectiveness in both PHE models were investigated depending on the average air flow velocity. According to the recovered thermal power and CTHE, it was found that the optimal average air flow velocity for both PHE models was 1.5 m/s. It has been determined that 2 sub-channels model is more advantageous in terms of thermal and hydrodynamic performance, weight and production
Design of a snake-like swimming mechanism based on wave propagation in a vibrating cantilever beam
Authors: Kırbış Ayşe , Reis Murat
Published: December 2019

In this study a locomotion mechanism which is similar to snake and fish swimming has been developed by using the natural vibration behavior of a simple cantilever beam (thin metal film). The swimming locomotion of the mechanism that is driven by wave propagation motion of the metal film has been confirmed by experiments. A metal cantilever beam (metal film), which is forced to vibrate at natural frequency by using a simple micro vibration motor, generates a propelling force, such as a fish fin that fluctuates in the liquid. And in this way, the swimming locomotion is provided in the specified directions depending on the orientation of the beam. In this way, it is aimed to develop an innovative and low energy consumption locomotion mechanism. The effects of design variables such as beam length and width, which effect the beam's natural frequency and locomotion performance, have been experimentally investigated on various test prototypes. The direction control and maneuverability of the robot can be improved by adding a second cantilever beam. Analytical calculations and experimental results showed the applicability of the proposed approach and the design. The locomotion mechanism introduced in the study has the potential to be used in micro robotic applications with its maneuverability and low energy consumption features.
Distributed Intrusion Detection Systems: A Survey
Authors: Özalp Murat , Karakuzu Cihan , Zengin Ahmet
Published: December 2019

In this paper, distributed intrusion detection systems (IDSs)in the literature are reviewed. There are two types of IDS, depending on the interoperability. Stand-alone systems decide on their own. Distributed systems are composed of multiple components processing different data and work together to make a global decision. Distributed IDSs present some difficulties compared to stand-alone systems. For example, problems such as the structure of message communication, establishment of a trust mechanism, joint decision making are the issues discussed in the studies related to such systems. A detailed literature review has been made for the distributed IDSs which are the focus of our study. The studies considered to be within the scope of our study were investigated and presented comparatively. Although the initial studies on interoperable systems began in the 1990s, the issue is still open to improvement, as there is no widespread system that has become "product". On the other hand, due to the development of artificial intelligence systems, innovative studies are being conducted on cyber threat detection. Therefore, the subject is thought to be open to improvement and in the last part of the study, suggestions are given for those who want to work on the subject.

Published: December 2019

Recently, a robust tool for assessment of different teaching methodologies in engineering education has been developed by the consortium of the iTeach project (www.iteach-chemeng.eu). The tool was initially tested for its applicability in teaching units of chemical engineering education, evaluating several educational approaches used to deliver core knowledge and employability competences in different geographical and educational contexts. After some modifications, the framework was subjected to a wider testing, including teaching units that are part of other engineering disciplines, but also, extended to other higher education disciplines. In the presented case-study, the framework, including six metrics, was used in the assessment of two pedagogical approaches, practical instructions via lab and self-instruction delivery, applied in the teaching units Microbiology and Engineering Economy, respectively. Necessary data were collected by online surveys, carried out among four target groups of stakeholders, i.e. academics, employers, graduates and students. The results of this testing will be presented and discussed.
