PHASE FORMATION DURING STEEL REFINING BY ALLOYS WITH ALKALINE EARTH ELEMENTS (Ba, Mg, Sr)
Authors: MAKROVETS L. A. , BAKIN I. V. , MIKHAILOV G. G.
Published: November 2023

Important factors affecting the quality of steel are both the level of metal contamination with non-metallic inclusions and the properties of these inclusions. Hard-to-remove magnesium-containing compounds have a pronounced negative effect on the performance of metal products. This type of inclusions is distinguished by a high melting point, a characteristic acute-angled shape, and a significant difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion from the matrix material. Despite the fact that the magnesium-containing modifiers are practically not used for out-of-furnace processing of steel and the magnesium-containing inclusions are mostly exogenous, the task of their removal from the metal is extremely important. At present, to improve the quality of metal, especially low-alloyed metal, out-of-furnace steel processing technologies are used using complex alloys, which include barium and strontium. The study of the effect of barium and strontium additives on the processes of liquid steel refining is one of the promising areas of research in the field of metallurgical technologies. This paper presents the results of thermodynamic studies of phase equilibria in the Fe–Mg–Ba–Sr–O and Fe–Mg–Ba–Sr–O–C systems. Based on the literature data and our own research, we have constructed the phase diagram of the BaO–MgO–SrO ternary system for the first time. For the systems under study, the component solubility surfaces (SSS) in liquid iron were constructed for steel treatment temperatures of 1550 and 1600 ºС. According to the calculations, the most probable type of inclusions are solid solutions based on magnesium oxides. As the temperature decreases, the probability of participation of strontium and barium in the steel refining process increases, which creates conditions for the formation of easily removed barium- and strontium-containing non-metallic inclusions. The gas phase formed in the presence of carbon creates additional conditions for efficient refining of the melt.
ANALYSIS OF ULTRA-LOW CARBON STEEL CASTING AT CURVILINEAR CCM
Authors: STOLYAROV А. M. , POTAPOVA M. V. , YUDIN D. V.
Published: November 2023

Ultra-low carbon steel with a carbon content of no more than 0.006% is produced in the BOF shop of PJSC MMK. After the oxygen converter, a semi-product is subjected to a long ladle processing at the ladle-furnace unit (LFU), a circulation degasser and again at the LFU. Casting of such steel is carried out at all five slab casters operated in the shop. However, about three-quarters of the steel is cast at two curved-type combined casters operating in a two-strand mode. This fact is explained by the order for the width of continuously cast slabs of the same thickness, equaled to 250 mm. The organization of stable continuous casting of ultra-low carbon steel by the “re-smelting method” is a problematic issue. Analysis of the serial casting of this steel at curvilinear casters of the combined type was carried out in the frame of this work. The study was carried out by the method of statistical processing of production data of 69 smelting operations using correlation and regression analysis. Ultra-low carbon steel was represented by grades 006/IF, CR4, CR5, DX54D, DX57D, A365-A13, A365-A14. Slabs with a thickness of 250 mm had the following width: 1450 mm (24 smelting operations); 1560 mm (14 smelting operations); 1650 mm (9 smelting operations); 1750 mm (17 smelting operations); 1850 mm (5 smelting operations). The speed of drawing slabs from the mold varied from 0.60 to 0.82 m/min (0.70 m/min on average). Decreasing dependence of the duration of casting ulta-low carbon metal of one heat on the width of the cast slabs at combined casters of curvilinear type was established as a result of the study. The casting of metal is carried out in series of five smelting operations. The casting speed of slabs of the same width (1450 mm) varies in a wide range in 1.3 times. The main parameter influencing the speed of casting is the sequence of smelting in the series. With an increase in the serial number of the smelting operations, the average casting speed decreases connected with accumulation of organizational delays.

Published: November 2023

In recent years, improvement of blast-furnace process efficiency is largely associated with an increase in the iron content in iron ore concentrates – the feedstock for agglomeration. The study of the material composition of ores, their features makes it possible to adjust the scheme of preparation of raw materials and determine the optimal content of iron in the concentrate for further processing. When studying the material composition, it was found that the sample of iron ore is represented by ferruginous quartzites of the silicate-magnetite type in combination with magnetite. In the original ore sample, magnetite dominates among ore minerals, and quartz and amphiboles dominate among rock-forming minerals. The coarseness and shape of the isolation of magnetite in all varieties of rocks are generally favorable for enrichment; the mineral is characterized by clear rectilinear and slightly sinuous contours, which contributes to its selective isolation. It should be noted that the magnetite content remains constant as the coarseness of the sample material decreases. Automated mineralogical analysis established that 87.36% of iron is associated with magnetite (with fluctuations in size classes from 86.23 to 91.37%); the rest of the iron is associated with rock-forming minerals. The theoretical content of magnetite in iron ore concentrate, achievable by enriching the original ore of the studied sample, according to automated mineralogical analysis, will be 95.83%, which, in turn, will provide the maximum possible iron content in magnetite concentrate of 68.57%. The existing technology of mining and enrich-ment using 4 types of ores from the Stoilenskoye deposit, with a planned increase in iron to 70%, will result to fluctua-tions of this component in the concentrate from 68.0 to 70.0%.

The domestic factories engaged in conversion metallurgy use scrap as the main raw material for steel production (at least 70 % of the total charge). In difficult economic and geopolitical situation factories are cautiously considering the possibility of introducing new technologies that require high capital expenditures and modification of existing units. In this article automated control systems are proposed that help reduce the consumption of metal charge and energy resources during steel smelting: an electromagnetic scanner with an automatic control system that determines the presence of concentrations of non-magnetic substances in scrap at each point of the wagon or trailer of the road train and the bulk density of scrap; a neural network system for temperature control in electric furnaces and out-of-furnace processing (installation ladle-furnace and units for vacuuming). These systems will allow enterprises of conversion metallurgy (on the example of Pervouralsk Novotrubny Plant): to improve the quality of scrap metal by tightening the requirements for the quality of raw materials of scrap suppliers according to the interstate standard for secondary fer-rous metals; to increase the productivity of the electric furnace by reducing the time under current by 3 minutes, and to reduce the consumption of metal charge by 4.66%, electricity by 500 kWh for 1 melting cycle, the release temperature by 10 ℃ to reduce vacuuming time for 2 minutes. The proposed automated control systems require insignificant capital costs for installation and commissioning, and do not require the shutdown of existing production.

Authors: Zhang Minghui , Xu Juncai , Zhang Xiaoping
Published: November 2023

Amidst global climate change, regional climate pattern studies are essential for grasping climate variability and shaping water resource management. This research delves into the spatial and temporal aspects of precipitation in China's Xinjiang region. By analyzing TRMM 3B43 V7 satellite precipitation data from 1998 to 2019, alongside ground-based observations, the study examines the efficacy of four spatial interpolation methods - inverse distance-weighted, kriging, radial basis function, and thin-plate spline. The goal is to evaluate their accuracy in mapping Xinjiang's annual precipitation distribution. Findings indicate that the inverse distance weighting method, when used with TRMM data, yields the most accurate results. Notably, precipitation in Xinjiang has generally increased over the study period, with the northern region experiencing markedly higher precipitation, particularly in summer, compared to the south. Over 63% of Xinjiang exhibited this increasing precipitation trend, predominantly in the north. These insights are vital for comprehending water resource dynamics and climate change in Xinjiang, offering significant guidance for water management and agricultural planning.

Authors: Nguyen Thoi
Published: November 2023

Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia, and the country has a large population. Vietnam’s population would reach 100 million people ranking it 15th in the world[1]. Vietnam has undergone significant changes throughout its history, reflecting the country's complex socio-political landscape.

The Vietnamese society is complex, and the region is no exception. Vietnam has a rich religious heritage, influenced by Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. However, the introduction of foreign religions, such as Catholicism and Protestantism, during the colonial era brought new dynamics to Vietnam’s religious landscape.

The French colonization period saw tensions between the Catholic Church and the Vietnamese government, which continued even after Vietnam gained independence. After the Vietnamese War finished, Vietnam also saw tensions between unregistered groups such as Hoa Hao Buddhist community and the Vietnamese authorities and its continuous crackdown on unregistered groups.

This paper aims to provide an overview of Vietnam's religion, and highlight key and recent developments, policies, and key challenges for some religions such as Pure Hoa Hao Buddhism, the Vietnamese government’s restrictions has restricted on unregistered groups and the current state of religious freedom in the country.

In Bangladesh, more than 90% of people are Muslim. During Eid-Ul-Azha (the Muslims’ highest religious festival) aligned with the whole year, a huge number of cattle were slaughtered. Therefore, the demand for beef cattle is also very high. To trade off the increasing demand, fattening beef cattle is very popular. For this, the research was conducted to investigate cattle fattening profitability and its marketing system. Study areas were selected from three districts, namely, Dhamrai under Dhaka; Kustia Sadar under Kustia and Pachbibi under Joypurhat district considering the concentration of livestock farming and cattle fattening. The data were collected through a structured interview schedule from 90 farmers, 15 beparies and 15 meat sellers by three different sets of questionnaires. Data were collected during the period from July 2018 to August 2018. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were applied to determine the factors that affect profitability. From the analysis, about 53% of farmers practiced cattle fattening the whole year and 47% of farmers reared only before Eid-Ul-Azha. The average benefit-cost ratio was estimated at 1.25, which implies that beef cattle fattening is a profitable enterprise. The coefficients of the variable treatment cost, feed cost, and labor cost were significant at a 1% level indicating a positive association with profitability. The average net return of bepari was BDT 1,964 and the average net return of meat sellers was found BDT 1,944. The most dominant marketing channels were identified as (i) Farmer-Bepari-Meat seller-consumer, and (ii) Farmer-Bepari-Consumer. But the preferable channel was Farmer-Consumer. Because farmers were able to maximize profit through this channel, even marketing efficiency was found highest in this channel. The study recommends the provision of appropriate education and training and improving access and availability of market information to reduce the challenges of establishing sustainable cattle fattening practices in Bangladesh.

Antara Terbuka, Tertutup, dan Campuran: Mencari Format Sistem Proporsional dalam Pemilihan Umum Legislatif di Indonesia
Authors: Hannan Abd , Syarif Zainuddin
Published: November 2023

This study focuses on discussing the debate around the ideal format of the general election system in Indonesia, between open, closed, and mixed proportional systems. There are three research questions raised in this study, how is the application of a proportional system in the dynamics of elections in Indonesia? What are the weaknesses and strengths of implementing a proportional electoral system in Indonesia, both with open and closed systems? Is it possible for two electoral proportional systems (open and closed) to be mated into a new system, a mixed proportional system, for example? This research was conducted based on a qualitative approach. The sources and types of data used are secondary data, especially those from library materials such as books, journals, previous research results, and information media, both print and online. After analyzing field data based on the perspective of political sociology theory, this study found the finding that since it was first held in 1955, elections in Indonesia have used a proportional system to date, starting from a closed system and then moving on to an open system. At the practical level, both of these approaches have weaknesses. Closed proportionality tends to weaken people's participation, while open proportionality makes political parties not optimally carry out their party functions. In order to bridge this problem, a new approach is needed, one of which is to implement a mixed member proportional (MMP) system. In general, the idea of a mixed proportional system has advantages in terms of strengthening the function of political parties and the participation of the people to directly elect their representatives.

Introduction. This article is a publication of the first results of the work under the grant of the Russian Sciences Foundation "Scientific research of the Nubian Archaeological Expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences 1961–1963…" related to the study of petroglyphs found during the work of the Nubian Expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences, organized in 1961. Materials and methods. After construction of the Aswan dam, the territories where the Soviet expedition worked as well as many other foreign scientific organizations, were flooded. Thus, the negatives of black-and-white photographs of petroglyphs preserved in the archives, along with some previously published data, are the only source of our information. Individual petroglyphs and groups of petroglyphs have never been outlined properly. This became our task at the first stage, when the drawings of individual signs were made in the Photoshop program (Adobe Photoshop CC version 10.1.2 ×64). Results and discussion. In recent decades the study of petroglyphs of the Eastern and Nubian deserts has become one of the main areas of archaeologists’ work. It seems relevant to us to re-study the petroglyphs discovered by the Nubian Soviet expedition, analysis of some subjects and images, development of the main approaches to study. The study of the approaches existing in the scientific literature to the dating and classification of petroglyphs of the Eastern and Nubian deserts gives an idea of the disputable nature of the most chronologies. The study of petroglyphs of Hukab-Karar is complicated by the limitations of the source – the quality of the photo does not always allow us to draw conclusions about the technique of execution of a particular sign. Nevertheless, a number of these petroglyphs can be dated by analogy with the petroglyphs from the well-known sites, as well as using published and handwritten descriptions of the participants of the Nubian expedition. Conclusion. About 200 petroglyphs discovered by the Nubian Expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences in a place called Umm-Aghaib (Huqab-Karar) have been published. Among them are numerous images of African fauna are presented. There are also images of hunting scenes, animals and birds, boats, tribal signs, anthropomorphic images dating to the widest historical period. @ 2023. This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 license

Diseases can be spread directly or indirectly via unprocessed garbage. Garbage management is crucial if we want to reduce the negative effects that waste has on our health. The community of Pantai Gemi lacks waste-processing infrastructure. The Sanitation Service's inaccessible trash transportation system, which forces people to process waste on their own, is the root of this issue. One significant effort that can be made is to educate the community. This study sought to ascertain how public perception has changed as well as how much less inorganic and organic trash was being produced as a result of the extension intervention. A pre-test-post-test design with one group is used in this kind of research. All of the 2,179 family heads who make up the study's population make up its sample of 30 families. Seven respondents, according to data on changes in respondents' knowledge, report changes in their knowledge of waste management. The results of the normality test demonstrate the homogeneity of the waste generation statistics. The Dependent Sample T-Test method was used to examine waste generation. The analysis of the volume of inorganic waste yielded t = 0.00<0.05, indicating that intervention has an effect on decreasing the volume of inorganic waste in Pantai Gemi Village. The analysis of the weight loss of organic waste yielded t = 0.00<0.05, indicating that intervention has an effect on weight loss of organic waste in Pantai Gemi Village. Residents of Pantai Gemi Village should be given advice by the Department of Cleanliness and the Environment.

The essence of internal and intra-company settlements of railway transport as an example of settlements of corporation is studied. This became the basis for the authors of the study to develop a methodology for calculating financial condition indicators of a corporation, with the exclusion of the impact of internal and intra-company settlements, the practical implementation of which was proved in the studies of Master's graduation theses of students who took their pre-graduate internship in structural divisions of railway transport under the supervision of the university teachers who are the authors of this study. The proposed methodology proved its theoretical and practical feasibility on the objects of research of railway transport, taking into account the specific nature of their activity, namely: the impossibility to sell independently their labor product, but only as part of a single transportation process affected by the financial and economic relations within the corporation. The research became the basis for the introduction of the idea of universalizing the proposed methodology for calculating the financial condition indicators of a corporation in any field of activity, with the exclusion of the impact of internal and intra-company settlements. The authors of the study evaluated the prospects for further developments not only in assessing the efficiency of business and manufacturing enterprises and organizations, but also that of public sector institutions, where internal and intra-company settlements are a consequence of the distribution of budget funds with purely technical procedures for debt crediting without appropriate technological and analytical research. The use of the methodology for calculating the financial condition indicators of a corporation, with the exclusion of the influence of internal and intra-company settlements in the public institutions will allow taking into account not only the branching of the budgetary institution with its numerous structural divisions, but also the social purpose of the object of research which is a public institution, its tasks of budgeting and estimated financing, the possibility of conducting commercial activities by a non-profit institution in accordance with the current law, and other factors. The thesis of theoretical and practical mediation and universalization of the proposed methodology for a corporation on its ideological basis of any field of activity is also put forward, both at the level of calculating and evaluating of the financial condition indicators of the parent company and its subordinate structural divisions.

Authors:   Lutsk National Technical University, Smolych Dariia
Published: November 2023

The article examines the theoretical foundations of liberalization and stimulation of entrepreneurial activity. Liberalism is revealed as the ideological basis on which the liberalization of business is based. Liberalism is defined as a theory based on the statement that the highest value is the freedom of the human personality, in the economy – economic freedom. The article reveals the principles of neoliberalism: reduction of public expenditures and reduction of taxes; globalization of markets and the impossibility of pursuing a protectionist policy; free enterprise, competition and deregulation; efficient distribution of resources; opposition to the expansion of government power over business; minimization of state control and strengthening of the position of the private sector; government regulation of the economy if necessary, in order to help, support and protect the free market. The article describes the goals and main principles of economic liberalization. The regulation of the process of entrepreneurial liberalization at four levels is disclosed: global, institutional, managerial. The essence of the concept of stimulating business development is characterized. Despite the fact that the state, in the form of its bodies, plays a decisive role in the process of implementation of the liberalization policy, the aspect of participation in such processes by other independent institutions, in particular non-governmental business support organizations, which first often act as change initiators, knowing the problems of business environment, gaps in state regulation of the economy; secondly, acting as an intermediary between the government and business, increase the effectiveness of the practical implementation of changes, provide feedback and transparency of procedures, awareness of business circles and their support during the transition period; thirdly, they substantiate the expediency, practical aspects and priorities of implementing the policy of stimulating entrepreneurial activity, which contributes to the economic development of the country as a whole. The functional opportunities of non-governmental business support organizations regarding liberalization and stimulation of entrepreneurial activity have been systematized and revealed.

A methodical approach to managing the financial stability of the enterprise by taking into account the influence of the internal and external environment in order to achieve the enterprise's goals is considered. The method of scoring assessment of the financial stability of economic entities is proposed. At the same time, the selection of internal indicators is proposed to be carried out taking into account their impact on the profitability of assets, and external factors of influence through the use of logit analysis. Stages of scoring evaluation are proposed: selection of internal indicators; selection of external factors; formation of a scoring model; on the basis of a scoring assessment and taking into account the internal indicators of determining the class of financial stability; determination of the type of stability of the external environment; construction of a matrix class of financial stability taking into account the type of external environment. It is noted that the proposed methodological approach contributes to the further development of the theoretical foundations of the definition of financial stability through the determination of the relationship and mutual influence of the financial, financial, economic and economic stability of the enterprise and the comparison of analytical indicators of the assessment of the specified categories. The proposed classification of types of stability allows to optimize the management of financial stability from the point of view of the priority of its preservation and building up It was determined that managing the enterprise through the prism of financial, financial and economic stability, the management of the enterprise should find a balance between external and internal stability. It is schematically shown that the management of financial stability is an element of the financial management of the enterprise. It is also determined that the management of financial stability can be presented as a separate component of the financial management system, which has a target setting, the achievement of which leads to its strengthening. It is noted that the proposed methodical approach allows optimizing the management of financial stability. It is noted that the proposed model allows taking into account the influence of the external environment in which the enterprise operates.
INDICATORS OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL FIELD AND THE NATIONAL ECONOMY: REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE
Authors:   Dnipro University of Technology, Lytvynenko Nataliia
Published: November 2023

An essential characteristic of modern civilization is the growing level of innovative processes, which require a relevant assessment of their effectiveness. Today, there are quite a large number of indicators and methods for evaluating innovations, innovative activities, and innovation processes. However, it is necessary to choose indicators that most objectively assess the effects of the introduction of innovations. A reliable assessment of the level of innovation efficiency contributes to developing an effective innovation policy at various levels of the national economy. The article aims to study indicators that evaluate innovative progress at the sectoral and national levels for their classification and a better understanding of their nature. The analysis was carried out based on scientific works presented in the Scopus database. A systematic review, based on 37 publications selected according to determinate criteria for the period 2010-2023, was applied. The literature search using determinate phrases, among which "innovation indicators" were the primary keywords, was completed. A clarifying combination of words was successively added to them: "regional level", "country level", "industry level", "national economy", "manufacturing sector". In our analysis, we found that scientists use a significant number of indicators in their research. These indicators include both quantitative and qualitative measures. The result of the study was an improvement in the classification of innovative development indicators grouped into four categories. Each indicator category has a conceptual measurement framework that the future may contribute to the development of new indicators of innovation development. It is necessary to note that any industry has its own specifics, requiring particular indicators. Indicators for evaluating innovations must be selected depending on the problem to be solved. In addition, it should be a system of indicators that will allow for optimal decisions. The proposed classification allows us to develop new indicators that can evaluate innovations at different levels of the national economy and contribute to forming an effective innovation policy.

It is emphasized that the office building can be divided into several objects during its operation. As for office stationery, here the order of displaying costs for its purchase in accounting depends on the term of its operation. Computers, printers, faxes, telephones and other equipment of a similar nature are usually integral attributes of any office. All of them belong to classic non-current assets, as they are operated for more than one year. Their accounting largely depends on their value and on the accounting policy of the business entity. Tax accounting of income tax for office expenses mostly does not contain special nuances. Differences with large payers can arise mostly, either in the case of fixed assets or intangible assets, or if there was an acquisition from risky counterparties. There is no doubt about the economic nature of office expenses. The exception is the so-called dual-purpose equipment, for example: refrigerators, kettles, microwave ovens, coffee makers, heaters, air conditioners, as well as various decorative objects, for example: flowers, trees, aquariums with fish, green spaces.
