Rapid Prediction of ANFO Based Explosives through ATR-FTIR Analysis – Use of ATR-FTIR in Explosives
Authors:   Central Forensic Science Laboratory, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, Sharma Rahul , Kumar Shailendra
Published: December 2023

Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO) is preferred mining explosives in worldwide. It is composed of ammonium nitrate (94-96%) and liquid hydrocarbon as fuel oil (4-6%), which is detonated through an explosive charge. In India, Forensic Science Laboratories received many criminal cases from investigation agencies for chemical analysis of sample as semi-solid materials supposed to be explosive material. In the present study, we developed an Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) procedure for easily analyzing the real crime exhibits related to ANFO based explosives. Firstly, semi-solid material is directly used on the ATR. Further, the sample is extracted using appropriate solvents (diethyl-ether/acetone). Extracts are subsequently analyzed on ATR-FTIR in comparison with standards for ammonium nitrate and diesel. The residue after acetone extract is dried and left solid material directly used on ATR for the detection of water-soluble compounds. The results significantly showed the presence of ammonium nitrate with the residue of diesel in a real crime exhibit. Hence, the proposed modify procedure can be advantageous for the rapid detection of diesel components mixed in ammonium nitrate through ATR-FTIR spectroscopy without the use of other chemical or instrumental analysis in a short period of time and also for easily identifying the presence of organic explosives (if any) among different samples received for the forensic opinion.

Published: December 2023

Auxetic materials with negative Poisson's ratios, display the unique behavior owing to their micro-structure or geometrical build. Auxetic materials resist deformities when subjected to uniaxial, biaxial, and shearing stresses. Cellular based materials are known for their excellent impact and shock energy absorption. When foams are incorporated with auxetic geometry, their impact energy absorption increases. Combination of auxetic materials with conventional materials yield semi-auxetic materials. Ideally, layered structures where facing materials are metallic sheets sandwiching polymeric foam cores are popular. The auxetic materials can be combined with conventional materials to obtain P-N-P and N-P-N semi-auxetic sandwiched structures with diverse potential in several applications like automotive, aerospace, sports equipment, and protective armors.

Optimal design of wind energy generation in electricity distribution network based on technical-economic parameters
Authors: Belbachir Nasreddine , Zellagui Mohamed , Settoul Samir , Benali Abdelkader
Published: December 2023

In order to satisfy electricity customers and avoid some environmental constraints and problems, the transition to renewable energy sources has become increasingly important given their advantages and benefits, such as reducing pollution and improving the reliability of the targeted distribution system. In this paper, several state-of-the-art metaheuristic optimisation algorithms are used to investigate the optimal setting and sizing of wind turbines (WTs) when connected to the electricity distribution network (EDN). The selected algorithms were implemented to optimise and minimise a multi-objective function (MOF) considered as the sum of the techno-economic parameters of total active power loss (TAPL), total voltage deviation (TVD) and investment cost of the WTG (ICWTG) when the daily uncertainties and variations of the load-source powers are taken into account. The effectiveness of the selected algorithms was validated on the two standard test systems IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus. The simulation results in this paper showed the superiority of the Gorilla Troops Optimizer (GTO) algorithm compared to other new metaheuristic optimisation algorithms in terms of providing the best optimised results. Accordingly, the GTO algorithm showed excellent effectiveness and robustness in determining the optimal setting and sizing of the WTG units in EDN. Thus, the daily active power losses were reduced to 1,415 MWh for the first test system and 1,072 MWh for the second test system, while also improving the bus voltage profiles and favouring the investment costs of the installed WTG units, all with daily uncertainties in terms of load demand and WTG power variations.
Poetics of everyday life in the creative work of S. Dovlatov
Authors: Anisimova Alexandra Naumovna , Efremova Yulia Ivanovna
Published: December 2023

The aim of the study is to identify the originality of everyday life representation, i.e., the mechanisms of reflection of everyday realities, in the creative work of S. Dovlatov based on the material of his novellas “The Compromise” (1981), “The Zone” (1982) and “Pushkin Hills” (1983), the collection “The Suitcase” (1986). The scientific originality of the paper lies in interpreting the prose writer’s works through the lens of everyday life. The results show that repeatability, closeness of space and the turn to the sphere of private life of ordinary characters represent the main features of everyday life in the analyzed works. Everyday life requires a recognizable background created by repetitive thoughts, descriptions, images in S. Dovlatov’s works, however, the routine in his writings is not monotonous, which destroys the idea of traditional everyday life as something uniform. The author highlights separate, small-scale events that are sufficient to recreate a complete picture in simple language, using similes, metaphors, euphemisms, often interspersing his works with dialogues and jokes, conveying emphasis and dyslalia. The conversational style used by S. Dovlatov to create the speech characteristics of his characters demonstrates its inherent discreteness, unfinished thoughts, incomplete syntactic constructions and brevity of utterance.
Haptemic attraction in the textual informative code of a cognitive script (based on the material of the novels “Inferno” by D. Brown and “Black Water Lilies” by M. Bussi)
Authors: Ogneva Elena Anatolievna , Beketova Alina Olegovna
Published: December 2023

The aim of the research is to identify the universal and unique mechanisms of haptemic attraction in the textual informative code of the background terminal of cognitive scripts in literary works written in different languages. The scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that the authors substantiate the existence of two types of models of text worlds in which the components of the text informative code are located in the central-peripheral zone, create their own algorithm for the study of haptemic attraction in the textual informative code of the background terminal of a cognitive script, determine the specifics of haptemic attraction in the textual informative code. As a result, the paper shows the existence of a multifaceted model of a text world as a central-peripheral structure with proximal-temporal vectors and a simplified model of a text world as a central-peripheral structure without proximal-temporal vectors. The research reveals the existence of five types of the universal mechanisms of haptemic attraction in the informative code of background terminals of cognitive scripts in the studied novels written in different languages. The development and implementation of a new approach have supplemented the theoretical and methodological base of the theory of text worlds with two new types of models. The theory of modelling textual cognitive constructs has been supplemented with an algorithm for studying haptemic attraction in the textual informative code of the background terminal of a cognitive script. New terms have been introduced into the scientific thesaurus: “a multifaceted model of a text world”, “a simplified model of a text world”, “haptemic attraction”.
Semantics of phraseological units as an object of psycholinguistic description (by the example of set expressions from ancient Greek myths with a proper name component)
Authors: Rudakova Alexandra Vladimirovna
Published: December 2023

The aim of the research is to develop a methodology for describing the semantics of phraseological units in the Russian linguistic consciousness. Using the example of set expressions borrowed from ancient Greek mythology with a proper name component (the Augean stables, Achilles’ heel, herostratic fame, the prophetic Cassandra, the Trojan horse), the paper demonstrates the potential of using the results of psycholinguistic experiments to describe the psychologically real meanings of phraseological expressions. The psycholinguistic meanings of the studied units are formulated based on the semantically interpreted data from a free association experiment. The paper compares lexicographic and psycholinguistic definitions. The research is novel in that it is the first to develop a methodology of psycholinguistic description of the semantics of set expressions in the everyday linguistic consciousness of Russian native speakers, to determine the types of psycholinguistic sememes in the set expressions. As a result of the research, it has been found that the psycholinguistic meaning of each phraseological unit in the linguistic consciousness of the native speakers is wider than its lexicographic version. Three types of psycholinguistic sememes of the phraseological units have been identified: phraseological, mythological and contaminated.

Coastline attracts people for recreational, residential, entrepreneurial, and industrial activity, resulting in a worldwide phenomenon of coastalization – the shift to the coasts. The proximity to marine coasts is, therefore, a competitive advantage and a development resource for coastal regions around the globe. However, the efficient use of coastal economic-geographical position depends on the numerous external and internal factors, and requires, firstly, a functional delimitation of the coastal zone, and, secondly, an integrated coastal zone management. This article studies the relationship between the proximity to the seacoast and the development of the tourism sector. The aim is to identify the geographical boundaries of using the seaside position in the interest of tourism development; in other words, we identify the functional boundaries of the coastal zone associated with tourist attractions. The research area covers two Russian regions located on the Baltic Sea (Kaliningrad Oblast) and the Sea of Japan (Primorsky Krai). The findings reveal that the optimal zone for developing coastal tourism is within a 10km of the sea, with the most preferable zone extending no further than 1km from the coast. The density of tourist attractions has a positive correlation with the concentration of service sector facilities and infrastructure.

An Analysis of the New and the Figurative Art (Paul Cezanne)
Authors: Bouras Alexander , Kokkori Maria
Published: December 2023

This article presents Malevich’s explanation and indeed justification for the new art, including his own objectless art of Suprematism. He divides the history of art into two trends – figurative art, which relies on an identifiable subject matter to convey any spiritual sensations, and non-figurative art in which sensations are evoked through the mixing of colors, the fabric of the painterly structure – “painting as such” and “color painting” (tsvetopis’). Much of the text focuses on Cezanne who expressed the nature of painting so powerfully in works like The Bottom of the Ravine (1879) and The Card Players (1890–1892). Malevich compares his “painterly realism” to the “illusory” realism of figurative artists, such as Ivan Shishkin and Ilia Repin. This article is translated and edited by Alexander Bouras and Maria Kokkori.
How Cezanne Inspired Leningrad Nonconformism: The Art of Vladimir Shagin
Authors: Andreeva Ekaterina
Published: December 2023

This article looks at the life and career of the Leningrad Non-Conformist artist, Vladimir Shagin, and examines the way in which the underlying conceptions, compositions, and pictorial devices that he developed in his works paid homage to, and derived inspiration from, the creative practice of Paul Cezanne. The author argues also that Shagin’s art, as read through Cezanne’s work, reveals Neoclassicism as a source for the intellectual and formal independence of the Leningrad nonconformists.

Involvement of students in the restoration of church architecture monuments in the Russian North in the 1960s – 1980s
Authors: Minaeva Tatiana , Kalashnikov Evgeniy
Published: December 2023

Student construction and restoration teams appeared in the USSR as a result of a social movement in defense of historical and cultural monuments. A significant part of these detachments worked on monuments of church architecture, which contributed to the formation of a positive image of religious buildings in the public consciousness of young people and contradicted atheistic education. However, Komsomol leaders and cultural figures were able to form an idea of the patriotic activities of the detachments and their important role in preserving the history of the country.

Apocalypse and Jews
Authors:   Miklukho-Maklai Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology, Shnirelman Victor
Published: December 2023

A Christian eschatological discourse, containing anti-Semitic connotations, revolves around three main figures: the Antichrist, the last emperor, and a restrainer known as Katekhon. Additionally, Satanism is also explored within this discussion. In my analysis, I examine how Jews have been portrayed in this extensive discussion over the past two millennia. This study holds significance as anti-Semitism still persists, warranting an examination of the anti-Semitic accusations within an eschatological conversation. My research primarily focuses on religious texts from the medieval and modern periods, with particular attention given to radical perspectives embraced by clergy and laypeople. While the views regarding the Antichrist vary greatly, there is a persistent belief that he originates from the tribe of Dan, which has served as a foundation for Judeophobia. The concept of the last emperor was prevalent in medieval Europe but not widely accepted in Russia. Conversely, the idea of the restrainer (Katekhon) gained popularity in Russia during the very late 19thcentury. It was often associated with the Russian Tsar and, following his tragic demise, with either Russia itself, the Russian people, or the Russian Orthodox Church. This viewpoint was revived in post-Soviet Russia, where it was seen as a mission to confront the “Satanic” West. Radicals argue that the West has already fallen under the influence of the Antichrist, i.e., in their view, by the Jews and Freemasons. All these interpretations can be identified within the rhetoric of the struggle against Satanism, which gained popularity in the autumn of 2022.
Thou Hast a Body that Thou Livest, and Art Dead by Evil Deeds: A Reader’s Comments on the Miniatures of one Printed Illuminated Apocalypse
Authors:   University of Tyumen, Novokreshchennykh Ekaterina
Published: December 2023

The article examines the hand notes and comments made by an anonymous reader on a copy of an illuminated Apocalypse from the early 20thcentury. These additions transform the typographic edition into a quasi-manuscript, adding an extra layer of paratext. The reader’s notes are aligned with the book’s miniatures and consist of accurate interwoven citations, explanations of symbolism, iconographic labels of the actors of the End times (chiefly of the evil ones), and topographic tags from the Book of Revelation as well as from the commentary by Andrew of Caesaria and other Church Fathers. The notes are categorized into rhetorical warnings or appeals, historical narrative comments, exegetic interpretations, and iconographic labels. Unlike inscriptions in earlier Russian manuscripts, these modern reader’s notes focus more on the demonic iconography and topography of the Apocalypse, reflecting the eschatological beliefs of Old Believers.
PANDANGAN SURAT-SURAT UMUM TENTANG ALLAH
Authors: Tandi Ela Olyviea
Published: December 2023

Abba adalah istilah dalam Bahasa Aram (Irani: ab), yang berarti Bapa. Hal ini adalah panggilan akrab kepada ayah, yang dalam Bahasa inggris disebut daddy atau papi (papa) dan Bahasa korea disebut Appa. Kata Abba digunakan Yesus (Mrk.14:36) dan Paulus (Gal. 4:6) untuk menyapa Allah. Dalam doa yang diajarkan Tuhan Yesus, Dia memulai memanggil Allah dengan sebutan Bapa sehingga doa itu dikenal dengan nama Doa Bapa Kami. Dalam Perjanjian Baru, kata ini selalu disertai padanannya dalam Bahasa Yunani. Inilah cara menyapa Allah yang tidak dikenal dalam Perjanjian Lama, dan juga tidak dalam budaya Yahudi pada masa kemudian, tetapi sapaan inilah yang dipakai Tuhan Yesus terhadap Allah. Sapaan ini (Abba) pula yang dipakai orang-orang Kristen yang dalam Roh Kudus memandang diri mereka sebagai anak-anak Allah (Mrk. 14:36; Rm. 8:15; dan Gal. 4:6).Allah dinyatakan sebagai Bapa dalam dua hal, yaitu sebagai Bapa dari Tuhan Yesus Kristus (Yoh. 5:17; 1:14) dan Bapa dari orang-orang yang percaya kepada Tuhan Yesus “semua orang yang menerima-Nya diberi kuasa supaya menjadi anak-anak Allah” (Yoh.1:12).
Using Generative Art from Brain Signals for Enabling Self Expression in the Differently Abled
Authors: Sharma Anjali , Singh Param Vir
Published: December 2023

The ability to express one’s emotions is a fundamental human need. However, people with disabilities may be unable to partake in even this most fundamental of human needs. This can lead to bottling up of emotions and adverse mental health effects. Recent developments in neuroscience and brain-computer-interfaces are now making it possible to detect emotional states from brain signals. In this study, we use these advances in emotion detection techniques to design and develop a system for enabling emotional expression by the disabled using abstract art generated from EEG brain signals.

Avoidance and Fear Day by Day in Social Anxiety Disorder
Authors: Rodebaugh Thomas , Grossman Jason , Tonge Natasha April , Shin Jin , Frumkin Madelyn , Rodriguez Chavez Richard , Ortiz Esteban Gerardo , Piccirillo Marilyn
Published: December 2023

Objective: Theories assert that avoidance maintains maladaptive anxiety over time, yet a clear prospective test of this effect in the day-by-day lives of people with social anxiety disorder (SAD) is lacking. Method: We used intensive longitudinal data to test prospective relationships between social fear and social avoidance in 32 participants with SAD who reported on a total of 4256 time points. Results: Results suggested that avoidance strongly predicted future anxiety, but only in a minority of people with SAD. Relationships between anxiety and avoidance varied considerably across individuals. Pre-registered tests found that the strength of autocorrelation for social fear is a good target for future testing of prediction of exposure response. Participants with lower autocorrelations were less likely to show between-session habituation. Conclusions: Overall, results suggest avoidance maintains fear in SAD for at least some individuals, but also indicates considerable variability. Further intensive longitudinal data is needed to examine individuals with SAD across varying time courses.
El lenguaje de los neandertales
Authors: Benítez-Burraco Antonio
Published: December 2023

¿Tenían lenguaje los neandertales? Y si lo tenían, ¿cómo eran las lenguas que hablaban? A diferencia de otros aspectos de su biología o de su comportamiento, estas preguntas no pueden responderse directamente, porque el lenguaje no fosiliza. Sin embargo, adoptando un enfoque multidisciplinar, se pueden inferir algunos aspectos básicos del lenguaje neandertal. Es posible que los neandertales hablasen lenguas parecidas a las nuestras, pero seguramente más simples desde el punto de vista estructural, y acaso, menos inteligibles, destinadas además, en general, a la expresión de emociones o la transmisión de órdenes, y no tanto a comunicar información compleja.
Accurate predictions facilitate robust memory encoding independently from stimulus probability
Authors: Huang Jiawen , Furness Eleanor , Liu Yifang , Kenmoe Morell-Jovan , Elias Ronak , Zeng Hannah Tongxin , Baldassano Christopher
Published: December 2023

We can use prior knowledge of temporal structure to make predictions about how an event will unfold, and this schematic knowledge has been shown to impact the way that event memories are encoded and later reconstructed. Existing paradigms for studying prediction, however, are largely unable to separate effects of prediction accuracy from effects of stimulus probability: likely outcomes are assumed to be predicted, while unlikely outcomes are assumed to cause prediction errors. Here we use a novel approach in which we can independently manipulate prediction success and stimulus probability, by using real-time eye-tracking when viewing moves in a board game. The moves can be consistent or inconsistent with a participant’s predictions (assessed via fixation patterns) and can be also be likely or unlikely to be played by a strategic player. By decorrelating these two measures, we found that both probability and prediction accuracy boost memory through two separate mechanisms, leading to different eye-movement strategies at retrieval. Accurate prediction improved encoding precision, allowing participants to directly retrieve these moves without the use of schematic knowledge. Probable moves, on the other hand, led to improved memory through a retrieval-time strategy in which schematic knowledge was used to generate candidate moves for recognition. These results challenge the prevailing idea that only prediction errors can enhance event memories, and provide a more realistic paradigm for studying schemas, learning, and decision making.
Sensorimotor adaptation impedes perturbation detection in grasping

Humans achieve skilled actions by continuously correcting for motor errors or perceptual misjudgments, a process called sensorimotor adaptation. This can occur both with the actor detecting (explicitly) and not detecting the error (implicitly). We investigated how the magnitude of a perturbation and the corresponding error signal each contribute to the detection of a size perturbation during interaction with real-world objects. Participants grasped cuboids of different lengths in a mirror-setup allowing us to present different sizes for seen and felt cuboids, respectively. Visuo-haptic size mismatches (perturbations) were introduced either abruptly or followed a sinusoidal schedule. These schedules dissociated the error signal from the visuo-haptic mismatch: Participants could fully adapt their grip and reduce the error when a perturbation was introduced abruptly and then stayed the same, but not with a constantly changing sinusoidal perturbation. We compared participants’ performance in a 2AFC task where participants judged these mismatches, and modelled error-correction in grasping movements by looking at changes in maximum grip apertures, measured using motion tracking. We found similar mismatch detection performance with sinusoidal perturbation schedules and the first trial after an abrupt change, but decreasing performance over further trials for the latter. This is consistent with the idea that reduced error signals following adaptation make it harder to detect perturbations. Error-correction parameters indicated stronger error-correction in abruptly introduced perturbations. However, we saw no correlation between error-correction and overall mismatch detection performance. This emphasizes the distinct contributions of the perturbation magnitude and the error signal in helping participants detect sensory perturbations.
How schema knowledge influences memory in older adults: Filling in the gaps, or leading memory astray?

Published: December 2023

Age-related declines in episodic memory do not affect all types of mnemonic information equally: when to-be-remembered information is in line with one’s prior knowledge, or schema-congruent, older adults often show no impairments. There are two major accounts of this effect: One proposes that schemas compensate for memory failures in aging, and the other proposes that schemas instead actively impair older adults’ otherwise intact memory for incongruent information. However, the evidence thus far is inconclusive, likely due to methodological constraints in teasing apart these complex underlying dynamics. We developed a paradigm that separately examines the contributions of underlying memory and schema knowledge to a final memory decision, allowing these dynamics to be examined directly. In the present study, healthy older and younger adults first searched for target objects in congruent or incongruent locations within scenes. In a subsequent test, participants indicated where in each scene the target had been located previously, and provided confidence-based recognition memory judgments that indexed underlying memory, in terms of recollection and familiarity, for the background scenes. We found that age-related increases in schema effects on target location spatial recall were predicted and statistically mediated by age-related increases in underlying memory failures, specifically within recollection. We also found that, relative to younger adults, older adults had poorer spatial memory precision within recollected scenes but slightly better precision within familiar scenes—and age increases in schema bias were primarily exhibited within recollected scenes. Interestingly, however, there were also slight age-related increases in schema effects that could not be explained by memory deficits alone, outlining a role for active schema influences as well. Together, these findings support the account that age-related schema effects on memory are compensatory in that they are driven primarily by underlying memory failures, and further suggest that age-related deficits in memory precision may also drive schema effects.

Published: December 2023

Despite Nepal’s abundant hydroelectric resources, a substantial disparity exists between its electricity supply and demand. This discrepancy is exacerbated by the absence of high-voltage transmission lines, hindering efficient power evacuation from a handful of generating plants. This not only incurs financial losses for the utility but also compromises the reliability of the power supply. A prime example is the protracted delay in the construction of the 576 KM long Hetauda-Dhalkebar-Inaruwa 400kV double-circuit Transmission Line, primarily due to challenges posed by local residents unwilling to relinquish their land.The Integrated Nepal Power System (INPS) heavily relies on power generation concentrated in the central mid-hills region. The construction of the Hetauda-Dhalkebar-Inaruwa (HDITL) 400kV double-circuit Transmission Line is crucial for routing power to industrialize these areas, potentially bolstering the national GDP and generating employment opportunities. Furthermore, it is essential to connect the current hydropower output of around 2300 MW to the INPS system via a high-voltage transmission line to maximize its utilization.
The HDITL project not only reduces line losses but also enhances grid stability. It facilitates energy export and direct transmission of high-generation power, such as the 456 MW from Upper Tamakoshi, thus saving approximately 400 MW of power and preventing losses for both the Government of Nepal (GoN) and the Nepal Electricity Authority.
This research not only calculates the reduction in power and energy losses with the commissioning of HDITL but also assesses its monetary benefits. Utilizing INPS data and Digsilent Power Factory 15.1 for power flow analysis, the study estimates that HDITL can prevent a power loss of about 26.276 MW. Furthermore, it demonstrates that HDITL significantly improves the total generation power factor in INPS, from 0.88 to 0.99, and enhances the voltage profile, underscoring its critical role in Nepal’s energy infrastructure development.
