Defect identification in electro-mechanical assembly using finite element method and modal assurance criterion
Authors: Singh Rishabh , Nalawade Amogh R. , Pieczko Matthew
Published: September 2023

Globally automotive industry is going through a critical transition from gasoline vehicle to electric and hybrid electric vehicle. These changes have challenged industry with completely different vehicle driveline architecture. These systems have more electro-mechanical components which need to be critically designed for the vibration, thermal, structural and shock related requirements. Design for vibration endurance has been a major requirement and robust matured design of these systems may take several design iterations. Finite element models give us freedom to simulate and analyze design performance before actual prototype building. Simulation results can be predicted more accurately if model fidelity is strong enough. To have strong model fidelity, modal test data correlation is an important step towards robust design. In this paper, study on Test-FE model correlation has been performed for an electro-mechanical assembly using Modal Assurance Criterion. During the entire correlation study, it was assumed that the DUT was undamaged and entire focus of the work was towards improving FE model fidelity. But obtained results pointed the inconsistency between the FE model and test results at a specific region which later has been captured as a defect in the DUT. The results of this paper can help in identifying anomalies in actual product samples and in taking decision on testing other samples.
Oriental Studies as an Academic Field and Its Prospects in Russia
Authors:   HSE University, Lukin Alexander V. ,   Institute of China and Contemporary Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2023

The article analyses the evolution of the concepts of “Orient” and “Oriental Studies” throughout history and offers a new approach to interpreting Oriental Studies as a complex academic field. It also discusses the trajectories of its further development in Russia. The author believes that Oriental Studies should centre upon the degree to which Asian and African societies embraced Westernisation, mechanisms of reception of Western culture by their traditional non-Western structures and consequences of this reception. In accordance with this interpretation, Chinese studies as well as other fields that focus on major non-Western civilisations (Indology, Middle Eastern and African studies) fall into a broader academic category of Oriental studies instead of turning into mere subfields of Area Studies. The article maintains that it is essential to move away from Western-centrism, however, this should not be substituted with the opposing extremes: the ideas of supremacy of the East over the West or the theory of the original sin of the West and its demands to “cancel” the field of Oriental studies as “colonialist” or “racist”. Not only would this trend lead to a new wave of ideologization in academia, it may also trigger a new wave of demands to “decolonise” Russia and its academic circles.

Published: September 2023

The article discusses the semantic nature of the Turkic perfect, its semantic zone limitations and possible grammar tools of expressing Perfect in the Old Uighur language. Goals. The study aims to determine grammar tools of expressing Perfect meanings in the Old Uighur language. Morphological tools that are able to perform the meanings included into the semantic zone of Perfect are being studied. Perfect and description of its semantic zone are connected with the concepts of aspect, actionality and ways of verbal action. In this regard, the issue of the relevance of these terms, in relation to the Old Uighur perfect, is under discussion. The grammar tools expressing Perfect are studied according to the point of view that excludes Aspect as a grammar category in the Turkic languages. Studying aspectual and temporal meanings of Perfect diachronically on the basis of the Od Uighur material may give a hint to understand the Turkic perfect and its expressions in genetically related modern languages. Functional-semantic and typological methods are used to identify and describe morphological tools with a perfect meaning. Scripts of the Old Uighur language, dated back to 10th–11th centuries, are of biographical and religious-philosophical content. Work with scripts, comprehension of existing theoretical approaches to understanding Perfect as an element of aspectual functional-semantic field show that Perfect meanings in the Old Uighur language are expressed by morphological tools that can be correlated with models. The study concludes that means expressing the Perfect meaning in the Old Uighur language are able to mark temporal localization and/or aspect.
Illustrated edition Liao Zhai Zhiyi Tuyong, published in 1886: reprints and imitations
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Storozhuk Alexander G.
Published: September 2023

Editions of the famous story collection “Liao Zhai zhi yi” (聊齋志異, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio) by Pu Songling (蒲松齡, 1640–1715) were numerous and various in the 19th century. A special place among them holds the lithograph, printed in 1886 on the funds of tycoon Xu Run (徐潤, 1838–1911); the edition contains an abundant collection of illustrations and specially written poetic inserts. The lithograph was titled “Xiangzhu Liao Zhai zhi yi tuyong” (詳註聊齋誌異圖詠, Illustrated and Commented “Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio”) and begot a great number of imitations and fakes among Chinese editions of the end of the 19th — beginning of the 20th centuries. Sometimes they were done so beautifully that happened to be practically undistinguishable from the original; sometimes they deliberately demonstrated their individuality, having become autonomous works of printing art with aesthetic peculiarities of their own. Along with that beginning of the 20th century generated a number of typographically printed editions, but their design either repeated or stood very close to the original Shanghai publication. The tradition happened to be very tenacious, so that contemporary editions continue copying exterior of the 1886 collection. Purpose of this article is to outline the main features of the original 1886 lithograph and its major later reprints until 1930s and their significant for attribution codicological peculiarities.
Confessional aspects of the architecture of wooden protestant churches in Eastern Europe in the 17th –18th centuries
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Khodakovsky Evgeny Valentinovich
Published: September 2023

The article deals with the unique phenomenon of Protestant churches of the Peace, as well as «articular churches» of the middle of the 17th–18th centuries, built after the end of the Thirty Years’ War (1648) and the Sopron Seim (1681) in the Slavic lands of the Holy Roman Empire. Relative religious tolerance, on the one hand, and the harsh conditions in which the Protestant communities were placed among the Catholic majority, dictated the special specifics of the architecture of the wooden Protestant churches of the 1650–1770s in Swidnica, Jawor, Kežmarok, Hronsek, Leštiny, Istebne, Svätý Kríž. The main result of the study is the conclusion that the fundamental difference between «churches of the world» and «particular churches» from Catholic wooden churches lies not only in the cross-planned solution dictated by the well-known differences in the order of worship, but also in the very technique of wooden construction, which is unusual for the local East Slavic tradition. and more characteristic of North German wooden architecture. As a result, «articular» churches became a prominent phenomenon in the colorful and diverse cultural landscape of Eastern Europe. Having largely broken with local building traditions, these outstanding buildings significantly enriched the panorama of monuments of Protestant architecture of the 17th–18th centuries, which became a noticeable alternative to Catholic and Greek Catholic wooden construction. At the same time, they served the purposes of self-identification, when ethnic Poles or Slovaks who professed Protestantism and were in a minority, in every possible way through a different «architectural language», expressed in German or Scandinavian building technologies, tried to present their temple as a grandiose wooden «Noah’s Ark», on which members of the community together they make their voyage among the storms, anxieties and upheavals that filled the history of modern Europe.
The Korsh case, or Should an academician live in the capital?
Authors:   St. Peterburg Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Gruzdeva Elena Nikolaevna
Published: September 2023

According to the tradition, which had been maintained since the 18th century, the members of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences had to live in the capital and actively take part in the Academy’s routine. Yet, by the turn of the 20th century the development of Russian science and society had reached a level at which a scientist’s need and desire to live and work where he can bring maximum practical benefit began to conflict with the Academy’s rules. The article describes the situation of the early 20th century when Fyodor E. Korsh, a prominent Moscow philologist and orientalist, was elected to the Department of the Russian Language and Literature of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Contrary to the Academy’s tradition, F. E. Korsh did not move to St. Petersburg, when he was elected. The archival materials reveal what his colleagues at the Department and other academicians thought about the requirement to live in the capital and about the breach of the rule as well. Since the early 20th century such «extraordinary cases» continued to happen further and further, the authorities in 1912 had to approve of the academicians’ right to live not only in Petersburg but also in other cities and had to introduce an appropriate amendment to the new staff of the Academy of Sciences. The article is supplemented with the previously unknown note which was specially written by F. E. Korsh in 1904 in reply to the reproach for breaking the Academy’s Charter. He explained there his own attitude to the wording of that point in the Charter of the Academy and that of the Department and also wrote about his scientific work in the Academy of Sciences.
Unveiling flood-generating mechanisms using circular statistics-based machine learning approach without the need for discharge data during inference
Authors: Zhang Zhi , Wang Dagang , Wu Xinxin , Mei Yiwen , Qiu Jianxiu , Zhu Jinxin
Published: September 2023

Understanding the drivers of flooding is essential for flood disaster prevention. However, conventional flood prediction methods are hindered by their reliance on local discharge data, which can be constrained by limited spatial resolution. To address this limitation, we present a machine learning model that can categorize floods without requiring discharge data during inference. We first use circular statistics to calculate the relative importance of three candidate flood-generating mechanisms. Global land areas are classified into three primary categories and eight sub-categories based on the proportion of relative importance. A random forest model is then applied to identify the flood types by assuming that the discharge data is unavailable. The findings from circular statistics highlight that globally, soil moisture excess is the most influential driver of floods followed by extreme precipitation and snowmelt, with an average relative importance of 0.535, 0.387, and 0.078, respectively. The RF model performs well in resembling the three primary flood categories with an accuracy of 0.701 and a F1-score of 0.692 in 10-fold cross-validation. The trained gridded-based model provides a swift and efficient approach for analyzing flood mechanisms, even in limited discharge scenarios, allowing for rapid insights.
Characterization of sustainable concrete made from wastewater bottle caps using a machine learning and RSM-CCD: towards performance and optimization
Authors: Mohammed N.
Published: September 2023

Abstract. The properties of concrete, a widely used building material across the globe, have changed due to technological breakthroughs. Cement, sand, coarse aggregate, and water are the four components used to build concrete. Technological improvements increase human comfort, yet the environment is also harmed. Therefore, recycling and reuse are vital to environmental engineers because they help reduce the amount of plastic bottle garbage disposed of as solid waste. In this study, water-cement ratios of 0.5, 0.55, and 0.6 are used in lieu of concrete in various percentages, including 0, 6, and 12% of coarse aggregate replaced by water bottle caps, to analyze the behavior of concrete's compressive strength experimentally. Based on experimental results, models based on artificial neural networks—Levenberg Marquardt and Response Surface Methodology—Central Composite Design models were developed to forecast the final compressive strength of concrete made in part from plastic water bottles. The results demonstrate that for accurately predicting the properties of concrete, the ANN-LM model yields the best result, R2=0.98, which is close to 1 and R2 = 0.85 for RSM-CCD, respectively.

Resumen

La Corte Constitucional de Colombia hace un estudio profundo de los principios constitucionales de la libertad, igualdad y la dignidad humana, que para el tema que trato, están ligados y reconocidos en la sentencia T-629 del 2010 dentro de la libertad reproductiva de las mujeres, en concreto las trabajadoras sexuales. Por medio de esta sentencia se analiza la doble discriminación que sufre la trabajadora sexual dependiente y la posición dominante de los empleadores frente a estas trabajadoras. El objetivo aquí, entonces, es explorar si en el suroriente de la ciudad de Barranquilla existen restricciones para la libertad reproductiva en establecimientos de lenocinio, como vulneración de derechos derivados del principio de libertad, en concreto la libertad reproductiva como valor fundamental. Para tal fin, en este trabajo de campo, optó por la estructuración y aplicación de instrumentos, que nos permitirá establecer qué acciones, costumbres y normas morales o jurídicas restringen esta libertad de procrear so pena de la pérdida del empleo en el sur oriente de Barranquilla.

LOS FUNDAMENTOS FILOSÓFICOS DE LA BIOÉTICA EN EL ANÁLISIS DE LA INVESTIGACIÓN EN NIÑOS CON DIAGNÓSTICO: TRASTORNO DE DÉFICIT DE ATENCIÓN E HIPERACTIVIDAD (TDAH)
Authors: García Pereáñez José Antonio
Published: September 2023

ResumenLa investigación emprendida se realizó en 9 colegios de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia, de diferentes estratos sociales y distintos modelos pedagógicos, la integraron 97 niños con diagnóstico de hiperactividad, de los cuales 51 reciben medicación autorizada por sus padres. Sin pretenderlo, las instituciones educativas y los padres de estos niños los estigmatizan con señalamientos sobre su conducta: “no se quedan quietos, hablan todo el tiempo, son indisciplinados y no atienden instructivos”. Por lo cual se hace difícil su incursión en la escuela, en especial por la influencia del significado de la dialéctica existente entre los conceptos de “normalidad-anormalidad” que subyace en el discurso educativo contemporáneo. Se abordó la investigación cualitativa,indagando por el conocimiento y tratamiento del TDAH en instituciones públicas y privadas con enseñanza básica. Este trabajo involucró a padres de familia y maestros en la configuración de dilemas sobre la medica-lización y calidad de vida de los menores diagnosticados. Mediante el ejercicio racional de la hermenéutica filosófica, se analizaron y se interpretaron las creencias de los padres, las posturas de los maestros y de las directivas de los colegios, como también la investigación y manejo del TDAH por parte de las neurociencias. Se preguntó por las implicaciones de la pedagogía en esta problemática y se hizo un estudio bioético sobre las implicaciones morales de la medicalización en la escuela y su influencia en la familia.

AbstractThe research undertaken was performed in 9 schools of the city of Medellin, Colombia, from different social strata and different pedagogical models integrated 97 children diagnosed with hyperactivity, of which 51 are authorized by their parent's medication. Unintentionally, educational institutions and parents of these children stigmatize with accusations about his conduct “does not stand still, talk all the time, are undisciplined and do not address instructional“. Therefore it is difficult to foray into school, especially the influence of the meaning of the dialectic between the concepts of “normality - abnormality” that underlies the contemporary educational discourse. Qualitative research was discussed, investigating the knowledge and treatment of ADHD in public and private institutions with basic education. This work involved parents and teachers in shaping dilemmas medicalization and quality of life of children diagnosed. By the rational exercise of philosophical hermeneutics, analyzed and beliefs of parents, teachers, and positions of the directors of the schools, as well as research and management of ADHD by the neurosciences, were interpreted. He wondered about the implications of this pedagogy in bioethical problems and study the moral implications of medicalization in school and their influence in the family did.

El ser humano es un ser en desarrollo por lo cual su comprensio?n requiere un estudio de dicho proceso. En este escrito se presenta una perspectiva acerca de co?mo los seres humanos se desarrollan como seres bioculturales y un modelo para resolverlo. Se trabajo? con una base biolo?gica, semio?tica y en complejidad. Sobre estos fundamentos teo?ricos se identifican tres feno?menos que interactu?an para construir las caracteri?sticas bioculturales. Los feno?menos son: el desarrollo del cuerpo humano, el cerebro como parte del sistema nervioso en el desarrollo del cuerpo y dentro de una matriz sociocultural. Se aplica el modelo para entender que el resultado de los procesos de semiosis son seres bioculturales. El origen ontoge?nico de los signos es producto de semiosis que sucede en los primeros momentos posteriores al nacimiento. A este proceso se le llama semiosis biocultural para enfatizar el proceso que le da estructura. 

 

Abstract

The human being is a being in development, so its understanding requires a study of the process. Here we present a perspective on how humans develop as bio-cultural beings and a solving model. We worked with a biological, semiotic and complexity base. On these theoretical foundations, three phenomena interact to build the identified human bio-cultural characteristics. The phenomena are: the development of the human body, the brain and the nervous system in the development of body and within a sociocultural matrix. The model was applied to understand that the outcome of the processes of semiosis is a bio-cultural being. Ontogenetic origin of the signs is the product of semiosis that happens in the first moments after birth. This process is called biocultural semiosis to emphasize the process that gives structure.

Published: September 2023

Este es un estudio panora?mico de vocacio?n interdisciplinaria, para mostrar co?mo se percibe y gestiona la globalizacio?n y su crisis. La crisis actual es global, tanto por razones histo?ricas (por el fin de un periodo dominado por el Estado-nacio?n), espaciales (de alcance planetario) y materiales (afecta a casi cualquier institucio?n social). Se aprovecha la ocasio?n para hacer balance y volver al momento en que se empezo? a pensar en el nuevo paradigma, como fue el espi?ritu de San Francisco, tras la II Guerra Mundial, cuando se crei?a que los pueblos podi?an trabajar juntos por el bien comu?n, mediante las organizaciones internacionales. Se incluyen cri?ticas de pensamiento iberoamericano, orientadas hacia la rehumanizacio?n y resocializacio?n de la globalizacio?n. 

 

Abstract

This quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive research aims to establish the demographic characteristics and reasons related to the forced displacement of 200 families living in the department of Quindi?o in the period 2009-2013, for which a sociodemographic characterization tab was applied. The study found that the leadership of the home is especially on the young adult (42 %), women (63.5 %), with a partner (34 %), primary education (50%), mixed ethnicity (87 %), of rural origin (72.5 %), from the Valle del Cauca (22 %), Cauca (8.5 %) and Choco (8.5 %). 82 % are between 1 and 3 individual displacements, and 88% have been intra-displaced. The main reason is the threat of death and/or psychological abuse (47 %) and the death of a family member (30 %).

Objective: To summarize the main evidence regarding osteometabolic changes in patients undergoing antineoplastic treatment. Methods: This is a scoping review, following the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute, using PubMed/MedLine, Cochrane Library, LILACS, The British Library, and Google Scholar. This review is registered in the Open Science Framework. Results: Many antineoplastics affect bone architecture by reducing its density, such as selective estrogen receptor modulators, aromatase inhibitors, androgen deprivation therapy, and glucocorticoids. To avoid such outcomes, treatment and prevention can be achieved by calcium and vitamin D supplementation, physical exercise, use of bisphosphonates, denosumab, and selective estrogen receptor modulators. Conclusion: people at a higher risk of developing cancer also have a higher risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis when the process is already established and undergoing antineoplastic treatment because of the grouping of risk factors. The need for bone densitometry in patients undergoing cancer treatment to prevent and promote bone health in these patients is evident, in addition to more research with a high level of evidence to support such use.

Background. In orthopedic dentistry at the present stage of its development, a chemical technique for preparing teeth for fixed structures of dentures has been developed; however, the state of the pulp in response to preparation is not taken into account. As a result, medical tactics for preserving or extirpating the pulp of abutment teeth, depending on the clinical case, are unreasonable. Given the generally accepted rules for preparing teeth for fixed orthopedic structures, there is a significant percentage of complications. Controlling the depth of tooth preparation makes it possible to carry out this manipulation as rationally as possible, and as a result to ensure the effectiveness of procedure, based on the state of vitality of the prepared teeth. The aim of the study is to determine and control the depth of the studied teeth preparation using digital volumetric scanning technology and algorithms of a digital graphic 3D editor in the CAD/CAM system. Materials and methods. The article presents the results of using digital volumetric scanning of the CAD/CAM system and an integrated algorithm for digital 3D modeling to determine and control the depth of teeth preparation for fixed orthopedic structures. Results. Based on the results of digital volumetric scanning, the working thickness of the tooth preparation in the area of the tooth neck was determined with the formation of various types of chamfer in different study groups. In order to determine the depth of the preparation of hard dental tissues, an artificial crown was modeled in the CAD system — digital volumetric scanner NeWay (Open Technologies) and data on its thickness in the area of the ledge were obtained. Conclusions. Method of digital volumetric scanning to determine and control the depth of preparation of hard dental tissues makes it possible to prevent the development of irreversible morpho-functional changes in the tissues of teeth caused by odontoreparation.

On June 22–23, 2023, the annual conference of the European Forum of Medical Associations, the Standing Committee of European Doctors, and Izba Lekarska, a self-governing organization of doctors and dentists, took place in Warsaw, Poland. This year’s meeting, which was also supported by the World Medical Association, was held under the slogan “Solidarity with Ukraine”. A two-day meeting of European and Ukrainian doctors in Warsaw that was part of this conference, once again proved the importance of cooperation between medical non-governmental organizations. It is of particular importance during the hot phase of Russian aggression in Ukraine, which has resulted in a terrible number of wounded, both military and civilian. Such close international cooperation is an important component of medical diplomacy, which Ukrainian doctors carry out with one main goal in mind — to organize medical care for our compatriots affected by the war. At the end of the forum, the participants discussed and defined standards for the provision of medical care at various levels during and after the war.
