Published: November 2023

Відомо, що завантаження силосів зерновим матеріалом, відбувається гравітаційним способом,компактним струменем. Таке завантаження призводить до того, що зерно вдаряється об бетонне дно табокову поверхню силосу травмується і нерівномірно ущільнюється. Нерівномірне ущільнення відбуваєтьсявнаслідок розшарування зернового матеріалу по величині і масі. Гравітаційне завантаження зерновогоматеріалу таким способом призводить до утворенню в середині силосної споруди сегрегації. Для усуненняцих недоліків використовуються різні демпферні пристрої. На кафедрі технології та обладнання переробнихі харчових виробництв Полтавського державного аграрного університету була розроблена лабораторнаустановка за допомогою якої проводились дослідження по розподіленню зерна озимої пшениці, котрепадаючи з фіксованої висоти на тороподібну тарілку, а з неї на бетонне дно установки. В результаті дослі-джень встановлено, що найкраще розподілення зерна по дну циліндричної ємності відбувається привикористанні тороподібної тарілки з кутом нахилу твірної до горизонту 12о, але при цьому висота скиданняповинна перевищувати 1,5 м. При скиданні зерна озимої пшениці з використанням тарілки із кутом нахилутвірної до горизонту 15о і 18о, спостерігається рівномірне розподілення зерна на кільцевих площинах S1, S2і S3. Такі дослідження дають можливість виробничникам правильно встановлювати гальмуючі пристрої,котрі зменшують травмування зерна та його сегрегацію.

Who Is Concerned About Misinformation and Why? Evidence From 46 Countries Between 2018 and 2023
Authors: Altay Sacha
Published: November 2023

People are concerned about misinformation and media coverage of the problem is on the rise. Yet little is known about how concerns about misinformation have changed over time, and how they vary across countries and individuals. A pre-registered analysis of longitudinal data from 2018 to 2023 in 46 countries (N = 509,797) shows that concerns about misinformation have remained stable in most countries. Women, more educated, older, and right-wing respondents were more concerned about misinformation, together with respondents using social media for news and participating with news more often (e.g., talking about news). Countries with higher levels of concern about misinformation had lower GDP per capita, lower press freedom, and higher levels of corruption. In these countries, respondents were more concerned about misinformation on messaging apps and misinformation coming from their government rather than from foreign governments. These findings shed light on the correlates of misinformation and suggest that interventions against misinformation need to adapt to the information ecosystems in which they are deployed.

There is good evidence that high-quality instruction targeting reading-related skills in the classroom leads to gains in reading. However, considerably less is known about the possible efficacy of remote instruction. This study evaluated the efficacy of an interactive evidence-based language-rich literacy programme. 184 children were randomly allocated either to an 8-week remotely delivered language-rich literacy programme or to a wait-list control group. Children in the programme arm (n = 77 at analysis) completed 16-lessons remotely targeting vocabulary, phonemic awareness, reading, spelling, and narrative skills. Children in the wait-list arm (n = 58 at analysis) received business-as-usal from their schools. Children’s word reading accuracy and phonemic awareness was measured prior to and after the programme delivery period. Children receiving the literacy programme made significantly larger gains than the wait-list control group on reading accuracy (d = .32) and phonemic awareness (d = .63). This study demonstrates that a remotely-delivered literacy programme is effective. These findings have important implications for delivering specialist literacy instruction at scale.
The prevalence of Specific Learning Difficulties in Higher Education: A study of UK Universities across 12 academic years
Authors: Brunswick Nicola , Wilson Nathan J. , Kruger Ian , Chamberlain Rebecca , McManus Ian Christopher
Published: November 2023

Specific learning difficulties (SpLDs) are often first identified in childhood but they can cause life-long difficulties affecting an individual’s ability to achieve academic and occupational success. We sought to explore the prevalence of SpLDs and the representation of sex and ethnicity amongst all first-year students in UK higher education (HE) across 12 academic years– almost 5.7 million students –and to compare course preferences and University destinations of those with and without SpLDs. Students declaring SpLDs were more likely to be White or of Mixed ethnicity and least likely to be Asian. They were more likely to attend specialist HE institutions or newer universities; they were more likely to study applied, practical courses in the creative arts and design, agriculture and architecture than language- and number-based courses such as law, languages, computer science and mathematical sciences. Numbers of students declaring SpLDs have increased year on year, both in actual terms and as a proportion of the student body, suggesting that efforts to increase diversity and inclusion have been successful. However, differences remain between SpLD and non-SpLD students in terms of ethnicity, subjects studied and HE institutions attended, indicating that more needs to be done to identify and address reasons for these differences. This is the first study to have explored these issues in an entire population over such an extended period. While this paper reports data only from students in UK higher education, it addresses an international question and invites similar explorations of other national datasets.
The role of loudness in vocal intimidation
Authors: Anikin Andrey
Published: November 2023

Across many species, a major function of vocal communication is to convey formidability, with low voice frequencies traditionally considered the main vehicle for projecting large size and aggression. Vocal loudness is often ignored, yet it might explain some puzzling exceptions to this frequency code. Here we demonstrate, through acoustic analyses of over 3000 human vocalizations and four perceptual experiments, that vocalizers produce low frequencies when attempting to sound large, but loudness is prioritized for displays of strength and aggression. Our results show that, although being loud is effective for signaling strength and aggression, it poses a physiological tradeoff with low frequencies because a loud voice is achieved by elevating pitch and opening the mouth wide into a-like vowels. This may explain why aggressive vocalizations are often high-pitched and why open vowels are considered “large” in sound symbolism despite their high first formant. Callers often compensate by adding vocal harshness (nonlinear vocal phenomena) to undesirably high-pitched loud vocalizations, but a combination of low and loud remains an honest predictor of both perceived and actual physical formidability. The proposed notion of a loudness-frequency tradeoff thus adds a new dimension to the widely accepted frequency code and requires a fundamental rethinking of the evolutionary forces shaping the form of acoustic signals.
Predictive Validity of a Divergent Thinking Test
Authors: Alabbasi Ahmed M. Abdulla
Published: November 2023

Divergent thinking (DT) tests are often used to estimate creative potential. They have sound theoretical bases, good reliability, and moderate predictive validity, which varies with methodology. A previous study that sampled gifted and nongifted children and included the interactions among DT indices (fluency, originality, flexibility) in the predictive equation had a validity of .59. The present investigation is a replication and extension of this study. Gifted and nongifted students were sampled, and the interactions among the three DT indices were examined. An updated criterion measure, the Creative Activity and Accomplishment Checklist (CAAC) was used; it includes scales for technological creativity and everyday creativity, along with art, science, writing, mathematics, and sports. The updated CAAC also assesses the quality of creative accomplishment, in addition to the quantity of creative activity. In the hierarchical regression analysis, giftedness status was entered in the first step, followed by DT indices, and then the three two-way interactions among the DT indices. Results indicate that giftedness, originality, and the fluency X originality interaction were significantly related to the total Quantity of creativity activity score. Giftedness and the fluency X originality interaction were significantly related to the total CAAC Quality score. Canonical correlation analyses indicated a predictive validity of .73 (p <.001) for the total sample and .40 (p <.001) for the gifted sample. DT indices were not statistically related to total CAAC scores in the nongifted sample (Rc =.32). These findings are discussed in the context of the predictive validity of DT tests and theories which recognize creativity as an important part of giftedness.

Published: November 2023

The monkeypox virus (MPX) poses a major threat to the health of people, especially among men who have sex with men (MSM). However, the knowledge regarding MPX among MSM in Nepal is poorly understood. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the knowledge of human monkeypox among Nepalese MSM. A cross-sectional face-to-face survey was conducted among purposively selected 250 participants (mean age 27.6 ± 8.9 years) in Nepal between October and December2022. The questionnaire comprised of informed consent along with questions covering age, education, and MPX. The findings demonstrated that the majority of MSM in Nepal had poor knowledge of MPX. Around 87% of participants had no idea whether MPX is contagious or not. However, the results call for immediate action to improve knowledge of MSM through health education programs and appropriate interventions to halt the spread of MPX transmission.
Unraveling the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Mn1Pd n-1, Mn 2Pd n-2 and Pd n(n=13) clusters

Published: November 2023

This work presents a systematic study of the geometric, electronic and magnetic properties of Pd clusters pristine and mono- and bi[1]doped with Mn: Pdn, Pdn−1Mn, Pdn−2Mn2 where n ≤13. We have used the density functional formalism with the spin polarized generalized gradient approximation. From the variety of possible structures with thirteen atoms, we found the icosahedral configuration to be the most stable as compared to the hexagonal, cub-octahedral and buckled bi-planar. The change in magnetic behavior of Pd clusters after doping with Mn has been observed. This communication is an attempt to understand that behaviour.
Role of Civil Society in Community Development of Nepal
Authors: Acharya Umesh Pd.
Published: November 2023

This study is based on the role of civil society in community development in Nepal. It is mainly prepared by using secondary sources. Data is obtained through articles/newspapers/clubs of the organization. The role of civil society in training and skill development, group formation and mobilization is assessed to be satisfactory. In the areas of health and hygiene, education, drinking water, transport and communication too, the role is likely to improve in the coming days. The relationship between groups and individuals in the community has appeared to be good. Most civil societies agree on good relationships between groups and individuals. The main problems of civil society are issues of the sustainability of their activities and political bias. Organizations depend on donor funds and activities as they propose; so there is duplication of programs and activities in the community. The activities are very short and do not have a fixed duration required by the community; it is due to the dependence of the donor for the fund. Civil society is the main subject and agent of community development. It knows the cultural, social, political and geographical situation. The process of social mobilization and mobilization of resources is the pioneering path of civil development. Group training and mobilization are found to be very good in the community. Therefore, this study shows a great need for civil society in community development. The function of civil society is very respectable. People want to expand their activities but the civil society cannot expand because of lack of funds. The ground of honor developed by civil societies in terms group formation, social mobilization, resource mobilization, and saving habits in groups is remarkable. Civil society (CS) in Nepal has played an important role in the economic and political transformation of the country over the past three decades. As Nepal changes into a three-tier federal government system, the environment in which civil society organizations (CSOs) operate is also changing.

Published: November 2023

The structural and vibrational properties of 4-(benzenesulfonyl)-morpholine, C10H13NO3S, have been studied using multinuclear (1H and 13C) NMR, IR and Raman spectroscopy techniques at pressures up to 3.2 GPa, as well as molecular modeling and vibrational mode assignment using DFT calculations with B3LYP functional and 6-31G (d,p) basis set and potential energy distribution (PED). Experimental and calculated spectra were compared and showed good accuracy. The sample was subjected to high pressure in the range of 0 to 3.2 GPa. The pressure measurements suggest a conformational transition for values around 0.7, 1.7 and 2.5 GPa, which was observed in some spectral regions, mainly in the high energy vibrational bands.

Published: November 2023

This study aims to determine the effect of the concentration of Carbon Dots on the bandwidth of the Carbon Dots luminescence spectrum. Carbon Dots are produced by ultrasonification method and characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and particle size analyzer (PSA). Measurement of the bandwidth of the Carbon Dots fluorescence spectrum for various concentrations was carried out by irradiating the Carbon Dots sample using a laser with a wavelength of 405 nm and looking at the spectrum of light emitted using a Kirchoff-Bunsen spectroscope.The characterization results show that the resulting Carbon Dots have a light absorption peak at a wavelength of 303 nm, a light wave emission peak at a wavelength of 508.87 nm, the surface structure of the Carbon Dots is in the form of a porous layer, the presence of the dominance of carbon and oxygen atoms in Carbon Dots, an amorphous Carbon Dots structure is observed, and the smallest measured Carbon Dots particle size is 1.12 nm. The results show that increasing the concentration of Carbon Dots causes a tendency to increase the bandwidth of orange, green and blue light spectra emitted by the particles, and in the red color there was no significant effect of increasing the concentration of Carbon Dots on the spectrum. However, increasing the concentration of Carbon Dots actually causes a narrowing of the yellow and violet color spectra.

Published: November 2023

This article is one of the results of the author’s work as a member of the Republican Commission for the Rehabilitation of Non-rehabilitated Victims of Political Repression that took place in the Soviet Union in the first half of the twentieth century. Among the victims during the years of repression were not only individuals but also entire peoples of the former Soviet Union, including the peoples of the Caucasus. The article examines the history of the deportation of the peoples of the Caucasus to Kazakhstan in the 1940s, the rehabilitation process that covered the period 1950s–2000s. The numerical composition of the peoples deported from the territory of the Caucasus, their placement on the territory of Kazakhstan is traced. Among the problems of rehabilitation, attention is drawn to the difficulty of identifying the exact number of people repressed on a national basis. Special attention is paid to the value of archival materials, which contain also a number of prob- lematic points concerning the processes of deportation of peoples to Kazakhstan and their subsequent rehabilitation. The main range of issues that need to be addressed during implementing the tasks assigned to the Republican Commission for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Political Repression is determined. Among them, the compilation of accurate lists of representatives of the peoples of the Caucasus forcibly resettled in Kazakhstan, their resettlement by region, the identification of the rehabilitated by name today and the identification of persons who should be rehabilitated.

The article provides the analyses of the work of the National Archives of the Republic of Kazakhstan aimed at reviving the history of the country. The contribution of the country’s archives to the issues raised in the program article by President Nursultan Nazarbayev, “Focus on the Future: Spiritual Revival”, is studied. The implementation of programs adopted by the state in connection with the modernization of archives is described. The authors analyze the activities of the archives of Kazakhstan over the years of independence and classify them step by step. For example, between 1990 and 2000, the storage units in the republican archives focused on the status of received cases, during the celebration of these dates, a description of the work done by the collected country’s archives, exhibitions, documents. To consider the “white patches” of the history of Kazakhstan, the regional archives collected documents on Kazakhs who went abroad in the twentieth century, the tragedy of famine and repression, and submitted them to the General Archives. In 1995, the International Conference dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the country’s archives was examined. The conference was attended by representatives of archival departments of the CIS countries. In addition, on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the Great Victory, a large-scale event was held, which included a list of citizens from different regions of Kazakhstan who went to the front in search of soldiers killed and missing in the Great Patriotic War. As a result, The Book of Remembrance of each region was published. The authors tried to dwell on the issues of research work of archives in this direction. In 1997, in the “Year of National Reconciliation and Remembrance of Victims of Political Repressions”, the country’s archives contributed significantly to this noble cause by raising documents on the dusty shelves of archives to justify innocent people who were shot during the political repressions of the 1930s. The adoption of the Law on the National Archives in 1998 made this year special for the country’s archivists. Since this year was declared the Year of Unity of Peoples and National History, scientific and theoretical conferences, fundamental works on the history of the country, scientific articles based on archival materials have been widely published. The authors tried to study the results of comprehensive research conducted based on state programs adopted in 2000, such as “Cultural Heritage”, “People in the flow of history”, “Archive–2025”
Historical Memory of the Kazakhs in the “Materials on Kyrgyz Land Use”

Published: November 2023

The statistical survey of the territories of Kazakhstan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the results of which were reflected in the “Materials on Kyrgyz (Kazakh) Land Use”, reflected not only the economic condition of Kazakh society but also the traditional historical memory. Historical legends reflect the time of their settlement in certain territories. These legends record the earlier settlements of the Kazakhs in the territories of Northern Kazakhstan — in the 14th–16th centuries. However, a number of written sources contradict the historical memory of the Kazakhs and point out the appearance of the Kazakhs in this territory only in the 17th–18th centuries. The reason for this is that Kazakh communities which declared their autochthonous origin were not part of the political system of the Kazakh Khanate until the 17th century and were known under the collective names “Nogai” and “Siberian Tatars”. “Materials” are an important source on the ethnic and political history of the Kazakh steppes in the 14th–18th centuries.

Banyak negara-negara di dunia yang membangun hubungan melalui berbagai perjanjian, baik dalam bidang ekonomi, politik maupun militer. Hal ini kemudian menyebabkan adanya hubungan antar negara yang cenderung mengikat. Hal ini terjadi kepada Amerika pada keterlibatannya dalam konflik Suriah. Banyak faktor yang menyebabkan Amerika untuk terlibat di konflik Suriah, salah satunya adalah keterlibatan sekutu-sekutu Amerika dalam konflik tersebut. Pada penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan metode library research. Pada tahap awal penulis melakukan penentuan topik penelitian. Setelah menemukan topik penelitian, penulis kemudian menggunakan berbagai teori dan konsep dalam hubungan internasional. Teori yang digunakan adalah neorealisme, balance of power dan entangling alliance. Penulis mengumpulkan berbagai data yang dikelompokkan menjadi analisis menggunakan data mengenai situasi Suriah, implementasi kebijakan AS dan lainnya. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari berbagai sumber. Terdapat banyak aktor yang terlibat dalam konflik di Suriah. Aktor-aktor tersebut memiliki peran masing-masing dalam konflik ini. Aktor-aktor domestik yang menjadi oposisi Assad diantaranya adalah National Coalition dan beberapa kelompok bersenjata lainnya. Sedangkan Partai Ba’ath, Institusi Keamanan dan kelompok agama minoritas memilih untuk mendukung pemerintahan Assad. Program Pelatihan dan Perlengkapan AS untuk Kelompok Oposisi, Bantuan Kemanusiaan, Sanksi Ekonomi AS. Keterlibatan Amerika Serikat dalam konflik Suriah bukan semata-mata atas dasar kepentingan Amerika untuk membantu warga Suriah, namun hal ini didorong oleh keterlibatan sekutu-sekutu Amerika Serikat, sehingga secara moral Amerika Serikat harus terlibat dalam konflik itu demi menjaga hubungannya dengan sekutu-sekutunya. Sesuai dengan konsep entangling alliance yang menyatakan bahwa negara dapat terlibat dalam suatu permasalahan sebagai hasil dari keterikatannya terhadap sekutu-sekutunya.

ABSTRACT

State actors' behavior and diverse political acts are impacted by their national interests, as well as the dynamics of the strategic environment, which intersect with the defense and sovereignty spectrum. It is explained through the liberalism paradigm that these features may coexist, which will inspire countries to collaborate to achieve larger aims. This study will look at the pattern of ratification of international agreements in the defense sector under President Joko Widodo's rule, as a way of developing the state's defense and security in the face of diverse challenges and possibilities. Furthermore, this study will examine on the procedure and flow of ratification of international agreements, as well as the content of the ratification instruments. The research hypothesis then provides an explanation of what variables motivate actors to participate in the ratification process, which includes issues of collective security in addition to an interest in strengthening capabilities and the defense sector.

The article is devoted to the search for the possibilities of implementing an emergent-integrative approach to the training of future teachers of natural sciences in the process of mastering the cycle of fundamental sciences: physics, astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, cosmogony.
The possibility of one of the variants of the system-integrative approach to the structuring and study of educational material about fundamental interactions in nature and the current state of the process of combining the physical theories that describe them is substantiated.
As research methods, a comprehensive analysis of scientific and methodological sources was used, in which a unified approach to solving pedagogical problems is represented, and a synthesis of the relevant research results published in scientific and pedagogical publications, with the results of the author's work on their experimental implementation in educational practice. We practice teaching the integrative content of the material about fundamental interactions in nature consistently in the form of several stages. First, the nature of all fundamental interactions, their general characteristics, comparative data on the magnitude of numerical values, manifestation of fundamental interactions (forces) in physics, astronomy, chemistry, etc. are considered. The next stage consists in determining the influence of the change in the numerical values of the world constants on the evolution of the universe. After that, modern theories are considered at a qualitative level, which try to combine all fundamental interactions into a single system (scientific picture of the world).
As a result of the conducted research, the possibilities of an integrative study of the material about fundamental interactions in nature and their quantum-statistical nature have been clarified. Their fundamentally opposite properties have been determined (long-range nature of gravitational and electromagnetic interactions and short-range – weak and strong), which in combination determine the structural unity and evolution of our universe, the possibility of the existence of a plurality of other universes, the property of inexhaustible «crushing» of matter into smaller and smaller particles, thereby confirming the dialectic of unity and the struggle of opposites.

The leading activity for schoolchildren in the New Ukrainian School is practical learning, so it is necessary to look for opportunities to implement practical work methods for the formation of subject competence of students in this process, which will contribute not only to improving the quality of general education of students, but also to the formation of subject competence. This approach to the organization of education actualizes the problem of forming students' practical abilities and skills, which cannot be formed without thorough theoretical training and without methodically correctly organized work on the part of the teacher.
The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate the components and levels of readiness of biology teachers to use a biological experiment in general secondary education institutions.
The article also discusses the structure of the formation of subject competence of students during the use of biological experiments in biology lessons in general secondary education institutions. It is represented by the unity of interconnected and interdependent components: motivational; cognitive; practical; evaluator. The motivational component covers the teacher's orientation to the desire to conduct lessons using a biological experiment. Includes motives based on one's own views and beliefs. The cognitive component is expressed in a set of general biological knowledge and interdisciplinary knowledge. The practical component reflects the process of practical application of knowledge, the goal of which is to achieve a certain level of knowledge and practical skills during biological experiments. The assessment component is expressed in the teacher's ability to adequately assess his level of biological knowledge and practical abilities and skills.
The levels of formation of subject competence of students in biology lessons using a biological experiment were determined: high, medium and low.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Surgical management of pelvic and acetabular fractures due to high-energy trauma is one of the most challenging in orthopaedics. Most patients are often associated with other life-threatening injuries. Several studies demonstrated that accurate fracture reduction decreases the incidence of post-traumatic arthritis and improves functional outcomes. The aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of the surgical management among patients with acetabular-pelvis fractures in a trauma care centre.
Methods: This is a descriptive observational study conducted at a trauma hospital from 1 September 2016 to 31 August 2020. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee.

Introduction: Refractive error is the inability of eyes to focus clearly on images. Visual impairment due to refractive error has a major impact on children's education and daily activities. The hospital has no documentation of the ocular morbidity related to refractive errors in children. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of refractive error in children visiting the Department of Paediatric Ophthalmology of a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done in the Outpatient Department of Paediatric Ophthalmology in a tertiary care centre from 8 September 2022 to 7 March 2023 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at 95% Confidence Interval.
Results: Among 3600 children, the prevalence of refractive error was seen in 668 children (18.56%) (15.61-21.51, 95% Confidence Interval). Refractive error was seen in 363 (54.34%) boys and 305 (45.66%) girls. Myopia was found in 340 (50.90%), astigmatism in 207 (30.99%), and hyperopia in 121 (18.11%).
Conclusions: The prevalence of refractive error among children attending a tertiary care centre was found to be higher than studies done in similar settings. Regular screening of refractive error for visual impairment is recommended among school going children.
Research of Increase of the Wear Resistance of Machine Parts and Tools by Surface Alloying
Authors: Marchenko D.D. , Matvyeyeva K.S.
Published: November 2023

The work scientifically substantiates the application of an effective technology for increasing the wear resistance of machine parts and tools due to complex diffusion saturation of the surface layer of parts made of iron-carbon alloys in the process of casting on gasified models based on the optimization of the composition of saturating mixtures and the establishment of patterns of structure formation.

The possibility of strengthening the surface of castings from cast iron SCH20 and steels of various composition (25L, 30L, 35L, 45L, 25HL, 110H13L), obtained by methods of casting in an open mold and on gasified models, has been established. It is shown that the diffusion boride layer on 35L steel, obtained during casting, has an order of magnitude greater thickness (up to 5 mm) compared to the diffusion layers obtained by chemical-thermal treatment methods (up to 0.25 mm). Analytical dependencies have been established that connect the components of the composition of the mixture (chromium boride (CrB2), boron carbide (B4C), graphite, bentonite, sodium fluoride (NaF)), which saturates, with wear resistance and the thickness of the diffusion layer after hardening in the process of obtaining a casting by the method of casting on gasified models.

A new composition of the saturating medium has been developed for surface strengthening in the production of cast parts from gray iron, carbon and alloy steels by simultaneous saturation with boron and chromium, containing chromium boride, boron carbide, graphite, bentonite, sodium fluoride (50-60 wt. % B4C + 20-25 wt. % CrB2 + 2-3 wt. % + 5-15 wt. % finely dispersed graphite + 5-7 wt. % bentonite). The application of the developed strengthening technology allows to improve operational properties, in particular, the wear resistance of machine parts and tools up to 25 times (compared to previously used methods), as well as to reduce the labor intensity of the strengthening process by up to 3.5 times.

Tests of dies for pressing wood waste into briquettes made of 45L steel, strengthened with the help of the developed technology, showed that their stability increases more than 4.5 times compared to the previously used ones made of HVH steel strengthened by carbonitriding, and the use of the developed strengthening technology allows reduce the cost of manufacturing this part by 1.5 times.

Background: Pectin exhibits different properties based on its degree of esterification, forming gels and serving as a structure-forming agent in food products, or forming complexes with heavy metal ions, finding applications in the development of therapeutic products for the elimination of heavy metal ions from the human body. Context and purpose of this study: The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of enzymatic treatment on the yield and quality of apple and carrot juices, as well as the quality parameters of pectin in pomace. Our objectives were to select an enzymatic preparation for processing apple and carrot pomace and to study changes in the properties of pectins present in the pomace depending on the dosage of the enzyme preparation.Results: The results of our experiments revealed that for apple pomace processing, it is more beneficial to use the enzyme preparation Vegazym M with a dosage of 0.09% of the pomace mass, while for carrot pomace processing, the enzyme preparation Fructozym MA with a dosage of 0.07% of the pomace mass proved to be the most suitable. These enzyme preparations in the specified amounts ensure maximum juice yield. It has been established that changing the dose of enzymes changes the complexing properties of pectin, which allows its use in food products with therapeutic and prophylactic properties.Conclusions: The enzyme preparations allow for specific modifications, such as pectin modification in this case, enabling the versatile use of pectin as either a structure-forming agent or for the development of therapeutic and preventive food products.Keywords:Apple and carrot juices, enzyme preparations, apple and carrot pomace, pectin, soluble and insoluble pectin, degree of esterification and pectin complexation, functional products.
