Authors: Hernández-Pérez Diana Marcela , Moreno-Ruíz María Natalia , Rocha-Buelvas Anderson Iván , Hidalgo-Troya Arsenio
Published: December 2018

Introduction: Poverty and social inequalities together with sexually transmitted diseases have a negative impact on women’s health, which is considered to be a public health problem.Objective: To analyze barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health services in cleaning workers.Materials and methods: A survey was administered to a sample of 37 female cleaning workers at a hospital in Bogotá D.C. A bivariate analysis was performed with chi-square test, as well as a multivariate analysis with binomial logistic regression.Results: Need factors showed greater association with non-use of sexual health services. All married women had accessed the service over the past 12 months, but there were 5.9 less possibilities of using sexual and reproductive health services when there was no awareness about risk behaviors of sexually transmitted diseases.Conclusion: The determining factor for the utilization of sexual health services is the health care need factor. Variables such as perception of risk behaviors and appropriateness of health care significantly influence the use of the service.

Published: December 2018

Introduction: Bibliometric indexes are important indicators of the quality of the country’s medical programs. There are few studies of this kind at the Universidad del Cauca.Objective: To evaluate the scientific-academic activity of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) of the Universidad del Cauca based on bibliometric production indicators of the authors, visibility and impact during the period 2010-2016.Materials and methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, bibliometric research. Different categories of the academic production of the FHS were identified (citation by authors, language of publication, areas of health sciences), and the main journals where the authors published. In addition, the metric indicators of the journals and citation indexes of the authors were determined, as well as their enrollment in research groups and the most cited publications according to SCOPUS.Results: 183 articles were found. The main language of publication was Spanish and mainly in the clinical-surgical area. 60% of the articles of the main authors have some international collaboration. The Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud of Universidad del Cauca had the largest number of articles published by authors of the same faculty during the period under study.Conclusion: The scientific and academic production and visibility of the FHS of the Universidad del Cauca is low. The findings reveal the need for greater institutional support for research, and the creation and support of research groups and incubators. Therefore, this work seeks to encourage greater visibility of the FHS in the national and international scientific field.
Bilateral fracture of corpora cavernosa with complete rupture of the anterior urethra: Case report and review of recent findings for surgical management
Authors: Castañeda-Millán David Andrés , Manrique-Mejía Otto , Capera-López César , Donoso-Donoso Wilfredo
Published: December 2018

Introduction: Penile fracture is a rare urological emergency associated in up to 30% of cases with injury to the anterior urethra. Recent data suggest that early surgical intervention is the best treatment strategy. This investigation describes a case of bilateral corpora cavernosa injury associated with complete rupture of the anterior urethra and presents current concepts about its management.Case presentation: 39-year-old man with bilateral corpora cavernosa injury and complete rupture of the anterior urethra, who received early surgical treatment with satisfactory early clinical outcomes. A literature review was made in PubMed and Embase, limiting the search to scientific articles published in the past 10 years using the MeSH terms “Penile diseases”, “Genital diseases, male”, “Wounds and injuries”. Some references were included given their clinical relevance. In this case, similar to international experiences, early surgical management of corpora cavernosa fractures allowed achieving adequate clinical outcomes in the patient.Conclusions: The diagnosis of penile fracture is based on clinical findings. Early surgical management should be considered as a therapy of choice. Conservative management has a higher complication rate versus early surgical management. The case described here had an adequate clinical evolution after 3 months of follow-up.

Published: December 2018

Abstract The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between the four integral parts of the educational process: the documents (The National Curriculum Framework for Pre-School Education and General Compulsory and Secondary Education and The Syllabus for Primary School), Croatian language textbooks (with accompanying teacher’s books), teachers and students. The pilot study included 9 teachers and 73 students. The results indicate that textbooks are mainly in line with the educational outcomes stated in the strategic documents, but that there are also some departures from these outcomes. Sometimes teachers depart from the guidelines set in the documents, but their attitude to the teaching unit Word Stress Patterns is a reflection of their personal opinion, their perception of the educational outcomes, the time planned for this unit, students’ abilities, etc. The difference in the results achieved by students in the target group and those in the control group in the variable Test Achievement was not statistically significant. Statistical difference was not found in the variable The Parents’ Background either. Some answers provided by students indicate the areas in which students have most difficulties. More comprehensive future studies would further develop the new knowledge, which might result in a more efficient study of this particular teaching unit.  Key words: Croatian language; primary school; word stress patterns. --- SažetakSvrha ovoga istraživanja bila je utvrditi međuodnos četiriju sastavnica odgojno-obrazovnoga procesa: dokumenata, odnosno Nacionalnoga okvirnoga kurikuluma za predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje, kao i opće obvezno i srednjoškolsko obrazovanje, Nastavnoga plan i programa za osnovnu školu, udžbenika hrvatskoga jezika (kojima su pridodani priručnici za učitelje), učitelja i učenika. U pilot-istraživanju sudjelovalo je 9 učiteljica i 73 učenika. Rezultati pokazuju da udžbenici u većoj mjeri slijede obrazovne zadaće istaknute u dokumentima, ali da postoje pojedina odstupanja. Nastavnici također ponekad odstupaju od dokumenata, a njihov je stav prema nastavnoj jedinici Naglasak odraz vlastita mišljenja, ali i razumijevanja obrazovnih zadaća, predviđena vremena, učeničkih sposobnosti i sl. Razlika u rezultatu između učenika ciljane i kontrolne skupine na varijabli Uspjeh na ispitu nije statistički značajna. Statističke značajnosti također nema na varijabli Podrijetlo roditelja. Pojedini odgovori učenika ukazuju na to što učenicima stvara najviše poteškoća. Sustavnijim istraživanjima u budućnosti bi se nadogradile navedene spoznaje, što bi moglo ishoditi učinkovitijim poučavanjem te nastavne jedinice.Ključne riječi: naglasak; hrvatski jezik; osnovna škola.
Types of Reading Tasks in Materials for Early Foreign Language Learning/Vrste zadataka čitanja u materijalima za početno učenje stranog jezika
Authors: Smuda Đurić Marija
Published: December 2018

Abstract This article presents the results of an investigation into reading tasks presented in the language learning materials for young learners of English as a foreign language. It attempts to explore the frequency and types of tasks to which young learners are exposed while learning to read. The results have confirmed that the authors of learning materials comply with the current recommendations for teaching foreign languages to young learners who, in order to become proficient readers, need a firm foundation in auditory and oracy skills. The results also reveal that tasks encourage the development of reading skill in combination with listening, speaking and writing; also that reading is taught implicitly, which supports the previous theories about young learners having a holistic approach to language and still lacking the ability to analyse language. However, the current analysis further shows that a significantly higher number of tasks fall into a category of closed tasks and, as such, do not offer many possibilities for learners to develop their creativity and productivity. This study has gone some way towards enhancing our understanding of the reading skill development with young learners. The observations presented here have many implications for the further research on learning materials, as well as on the teacher's approach to teaching foreign language reading.Key words: language learning materials; reading skill; young learners; tasks.---Sažetak U radu se donose rezultati istraživanja zadataka čitanja prisutnih u materijalima za učenje engleskog kao stranog jezika za učenike mlađe školske dobi. Pokušavaju se istražiti zastupljenost i vrste zadataka kojima su učenici mlađe školske dobi izloženi u početnom učenju čitanja. Rezultati potvrđuju da autori materijala za učenje prate trenutne preporuke za poučavanje stranih jezika učenika mlađe školske dobi koji, kako bi postali uspješni čitatelji, trebaju čvrstu osnovu u vještinama slušanja i govorenja. Rezultati ujedno otkrivaju kako zadatci potiču razvijanje vještine čitanja u kombinaciji sa slušanjem, govorenjem i pisanjem te da se čitanje poučava implicitno, što je u skladu s postojećim teorijama prema kojima učenici mlađe školske dobi imaju holistički pristup jeziku i nedovoljno razvijene sposobnosti analiziranja jezika. No daljnjom je analizom utvrđeno da je značajno veći broj zadataka zatvorenog tipa koji učenicima ne pružaju dovoljno mogućnosti za razvijanje kreativnosti i produktivnosti. Ovo istraživanje doprinosi boljem razumijevanju razvijanja vještine čitanja učenika mlađe školske dobi, a iz rezultata proizlaze implikacije za daljnja istraživanja materijala za učenje, kao i pristupa poučavanju čitanja.Ključne riječi: materijali za učenje jezika; učenici mlađe školske dobi; vještina čitanja; zadatak.

Authors: Budinski Vesna , Lujić Iva
Published: December 2018

AbstractThe development of pre-reading and pre-writing skills starts at a very early age. In order for a child to progress during formal education, the period of preschool should create conditions for regular language development. The theoretical framework of this paper defines basic language skills and possibly determines teaching methodology activities implemented by preschool teachers. Those teaching methodologies include all types of activities, communication and behaviors of preschool teachers and children, partnership with parents, and motivation with the aim of reaching defined curricular outcomes. The research methodology presents a qualitative research using the interview method. The participants were preschool teachers from two preschool institutions in Zagreb (N=6). The aim of the research was to gain insight into the methodology of preschool teachers, which contributes to the development of pre-reading and pre-writing language skills. The participants’ answers were analyzed and categorized according to the set research questions. The results indicate that the teaching methodology applied by preschool teachers contributes to the development of pre-reading and pre-writing skills. It is very important to respect individual characteristics of children and influence each child’s language development. Keywords: child; development of pre-reading and pre-writing skills; teaching methodology; preschool teacher.---SažetakRazvoj predvještina čitanja i pisanja počinje u najranijoj dobi. Kako bi dijete napredovalo tijekom formalnoga obrazovanja, u predškolskom se razdoblju trebaju stvoriti preduvjeti za uredan jezični razvoj.

Children's Opera – Motivation for the Reception of Art in Teaching Music in Primary Education/Dječja opera – poticaj za recepciju umjetničkog djela u nastavi Glazbene kulture u primarnom obrazovanju
Authors: Jurkić Sviben Tamara , Herak Ema
Published: December 2018

AbstractChildren’s opera is a work of art and although the performance of children’s opera in theater is primarily a visual experience for the young audience, music is what dominates the entire performance. It is important that, while viewing events on stage, children inadvertently receive music, which becomes part of the entire experience. Direct experience of children’s opera can be an incentive for the reception of artwork. Children’s opera offers children a unique art experience through its complex music and stage structure that unites the literary text, music, costume design, and staging. Through the reception of performance, it offers children a unique experience which has a positive effect on their formation of appreciation of culture and music. It is not advised to teach children’s opera in lower grades of primary school in a way where children acquire knowledge about children’s opera. Rather, students should be introduced into the world of opera through their experience of concrete children’s opera which can be achieved through reception (listening and observing). In this paper, we point to the possibility of implementing such content into the contemporary curricular context. Key words: children’s opera; music education, primary education. ---SažetakDječja opera umjetničko je djelo i premda je izvedba dječje opere u kazalištu za mlađu publiku ponajprije scenski vizualni doživljaj, ipak je ono što dominira cijelom izvedbom upravo glazba. Pritom je najvažnije da djeca, prateći događanja na pozornici, nesvjesno primaju glazbu koja postaje dio njihova ukupnog doživljaja. Izravno doživljavanje dječje opere može biti poticaj za recepciju umjetničkog djela jer ona svojom složenom glazbeno-scenskom strukturom koja ujedinjuje književni predložak, glazbu, kostimografiju i scensko uprizorenje djeci pruža jedinstven umjetnički doživljaj koji ima pozitivan utjecaj na njihovo oblikovanje kulturnog i glazbenog ukusa.U primarnom obrazovanju nije preporučljivo dječju operu poučavati na način stjecanja znanja o dječjoj operi, već učenike treba uvoditi u svijet opere putem njihova doživljaja konkretne dječje opere, što se može postići recepcijom (slušanjem i gledanjem), a u ovome radu ukazujemo na mogućnost implementacije toga sadržaja u suvremeni kurikulski kontekst. Ključne riječi: dječja opera; Glazbena kultura; primarno obrazovanje.

Published: December 2018

Background and Study Aim: In order to sustain the performance in sport, it is necessary to constantly struggle with the factors which disrupt balance, and maintain the desired balance. The purpose of the present study is to compare and demonstrate the effects of sight grade on static and dynamic balance, and fall risk parameters in visually impaired and non-impaired judo athletes and goalball/futsal players. Material and Methods: A total of 26 male athletes (13 Judo, 13 Goalball/Futsal) participated in the study voluntarily. The participants performed two balance tests as Overall Stability Test and Fall Risk Test with the eyes open and eyes closed. The parameters observed were static and dynamic overall stability, anterior-posterior, and medial-lateral index, and fall risk. Results: According to the findings, there were significant differences in all the parameters with the eyes open and eyes closed conditions in visually non-impaired athletes regardless of the sport branch, while visually impaired athletes showed no significant difference. However, more loss of balance was observed in all the parameters for visually impaired athletes. Conclusions: These findings show that visual system has a crucial role on balance, and athletes with visually impaired have more advanced vestibular system and proprioceptive senses to maintain their balance. It was also understood that visually non-impaired athletes tend to show more deteriorated balance level when their eyes were closed. Future studies could examine the vestibular and proprioceptive senses besides visual system to provide information about how balance is affected from other systems.

Conclusion : Core stability exercise was able to increase the physical performance of arm, leg, and stomach muscle strength. It could be applied with circuit and high intensity of interval training to enhance the recovery ability.
The effect of acute exercise and gender on the levels of irisin in elite athletes
Authors: Arıkan Ş.
Published: December 2018

Purpose: Irisin is defined as a myokine secreted by skeletal muscle contraction. Myokines are associated with energy metabolism and muscle regeneration capacity. They provide support for active muscles with acute or regular exercises. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of acute exercise on the hormone levels of irisin in taekwondo athletes. Material: Thirteen volunteer elite taekwondo athletes (7 males, 6 females) participated in the study between the ages of 16-20. At the beginning of the study, participants' body compositions were determined. Blood samples were taken before and after acute exercise at 8:00 am after overnight fasting. Plasma irisin hormone analyzes were determined by Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) method. The analysis of the data was tested with two-factor (time-gender) analysis of variance in repeated measures. Results: Significant differences were found between body weight, height and body fat percentage in both male and female athletes (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the averages of age, sports experience and body mass index (p>0, 05). The effect of acute exercise and gender on irisin levels was not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: As a result, it can be said that acute exercise and gender did not affect the hormone levels of irisin in elite taekwondo athletes.

Background and Study Aim: Among products used as ergogenic substances by sportsmen, royal jelly and honey have attracted attention in recent years. This study was carried out to determine the effect of royal-jelly and honey mixture on weight lifting performances and some hormone test of athletes. Material and Methods: Randomly selected healthy 29 athletes, aged between 20 and 25 years, were divided into two groups. Placebo (corn starch) was given to the Control Group and 5 grams of royal jelly + 45 grams of honey mixture was given to the experimental group for eight weeks. After one week of weight adjustment workout; maximum weight (bench press, shoulder press, squat, deadlift and arm curl movements) that each athlete can lift was determined and hormones (Free T4, Free T3, Cortisol, Insulin, Total Testosterone and ACHT, TSH, Growth Hormone, Prolocatin, FSH, LH) were examined at pro-exercise, after four weeks of exercise, and after eight weeks of exercise. Results: As a result of the study, a statistical increase in the weights lifted in the bench press, squat, arm curl, deadlifts and shoulder press movements in the second and third measurements with respect to the first measurement was determined within both groups (p<0.001). While according to the hormone test results in placebo and experimental groups, there was no significant difference in free T3 , total testosterone variables intra-groups and inter-groups (p> 0.05), but there was significant difference in free T4 value in 2. measurements of groups (p = 0.030) and between the 2. and 3. measurements in the test group in the variable of insulin hormone (p <0.001). Conclusions: In conclusion, it is thought that in young males performing maximal strength workout, royal jelly + honey supplement does not affect the increase in weight lifted, this increase is due to the weight training applied, but it causes some hormone changes.

Published: December 2018

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of different weights of basketball shoes on speed and jumping performance in male basketball players. Methods: 20 male basketball players in two groups, as eyes open (n:10) and eyes closed (n:10) participated in the study. The two groups performed vertical jump (VJ) and 10m sprint tests with three different weights of shoes (light, 352g; medium, 510g; heavy, 637g). The data were analyzed with Friedman repeated measurements variance analysis. Results: In Vertical Jump test, jumping performance of the eyes open group (EOG) with light shoes was found to be statistically higher as 1.8% and 2.1%, respectively when compared with medium and heavy shoes (p< 0.001). In eyes closed group (ECG), no statistically significant difference was found between any of the 3 shoe weights in vertical jump performance (p>0.005). In 10 meter (m) sprint test, 10 m sprint time of the eyes open group was found to be statistically better as 0.5% and 1.6%, respectively when compared with medium and heavy shoe performance (p<0.001). Medium weight shoe was found to be 1.2% statistically better than heavy shoes (p<0.001). In eyes closed group, light shoes affected 10m sprint performance statistically better with 1% when compared with heavy shoes (p<0.001). Conclusions: Wearing light shoes in basketball has 2.1% and 1.6% positive effect on jumping and sprint performance, respectively. It can increase basketball players’ performance. Choosing light shoes will help provide both psychological and physical advantages.
Do Oncology Outpatients Need Chaplaincy Services?
Authors: Cedar S.H. , Mitchell Jody , Watts John , Hilborn Mia
Published: December 2018

Holistic patient-centred care is the aim of health services in the United Kingdom delivered through the 6Cs. Chaplains can offer aspects of this through compassionate care of the patient, particularly when a person is facing a life- limiting prognosis. This study firstly evaluated patient awareness and use of chaplaincy services in two oncology settings; Inpatient and Outpatient. Outpatients had not previously been offered chaplaincy services.  Secondly, the demand and needs for a chaplaincy intervention was investigated with patients who expressed a spiritual or religious belief and had received a chaplaincy visit.  Results indicated that half of the patients seen in the first evaluation identified with a spiritual/religious belief and both Outpatients and inpatients had a similar demand for chaplaincy visits.  Those receiving a chaplaincy visit before being evaluated generally requested further visits. Based on these results we have now established a chaplaincy visiting service in the Outpatient chemotherapy suites to try to match demands.

Inhale Determination, We Will Overcome
Authors: Haupt Adam
Published: December 2018

This article contends that the work of South African (Cape Flats) MC Eavesdrop, the late Mr Devious, Brasse vannie Kaap and Prophets of da City provide important insights into the extent to which South African hip hop activists challenge hegemonic representations of working-class black subjects over two decades after the fall of legislated apartheid. In a context that is influenced by racialized class inequalities, which are produced by neoliberal macroeconomic policies, the terms upon which race is represented are highly contested. Thanks to apartheid spatial planning and the internalization of racism, tensions between subjects classified as black, coloured and African immigrants/foreigners run high. Eavesdrop presents the Black Consciousnessinspired concept of knowledge of self, meditation and introspection as a means of engaging these tensions, thereby producing counter-hegemonic narratives about the forces that shape spaces that continue to be shaped by the violent legacy of apartheid.
Türkiye’nin Ortadoğu Ülkeleriyle Ekonomik İlişkilerinin Gelişmesinde Kıbrıs Meselesinin Rolü

Published: December 2018

Cumhuriyetin ilan edildiği 1923 yılından sonra takip eden 40 yıl boyunca, Türkiye’ninOrtadoğu ülkeleriyle olan gerek siyasî gerek ekonomik ilişkileri tamamen Batıbloğunda yer alan bir ülke profilinde şekillendi. Zira Türkiye, yükselen Batı ekseninealternatif ya da muhalif değil, bu eksenin bir parçası olma şeklinde özetleyebileceğimizbir dış politikayı benimsemişti.Bu politika doğrultusunda hareket eden Türkiye ile Batı dünyası arasındaki ilişkilerkuvvetlendikçe Ortadoğu ülkeleriyle arasındaki bağlar giderek zayıfladı. Bölge ülkeleriyleyakınlaşma adına atılan olumlu adımların da yine Batılılaşma amacına yönelik olması,bu ülkeler için var olan tabloyu daha da kötüleştirmişti.II. Dünya Savaşından sonra değişen dünya dengeleri Türkiye ile yakın komşularıolan Arap ülkeleri ve diğer Müslüman toplumların yollarını iyiden iyiye ayırdı. ZiraTürkiye 1945 yılından itibaren, bu sefer daha kesin bir şekilde Batıya ve öncelikle deABD’ye yanaşma çabasını göstermişti. Çünkü bu dönemde Türkiye, Sovyet tehdidiylekarşı karşıya kalmış ve güvenlik endişesiyle Batı’nın desteğine ihtiyaç duymuştu. Bunakarşılık Ortadoğu ülkelerinde güçlenen milliyetçilik akımlarıyla birlikte yükselen bir Batıkarşıtlığı vardı. Üstelik Sovyetlerden gelecek bir tehdit algıları da yoktu.Türkiye ile Ortadoğu ülkeleri arasındaki uçurum 1960’lı yılların ortalarına kadargiderek derinleşti. 1960 yılından itibaren bu uçurumun kapanmasına, bölge ülkeleriyleönce siyasi, sonra ekonomik ilişkilerin gelişmesine sebep olan gelişmeler peşpeşe yaşandı.1964’te Kıbrıs’a yapılması planlanan askerî bir müdahaleyi önleyen Johnson Mektubuve BM’de Kıbrıs konusunda yapılan oylamada olumsuz karar çıkmasıyla Türkiye’nin yaşadığıbüyük hayal kırıklığı Batı güdümündeki dış politikanın terk edilerek çok yönlü vealternatifli bir dış politikanın hayata geçirilmesine imkan sağladı.

Tükenmişlik; bir enerji, idealizm, perspektif ve amaç kaybıdır ve sürekli stres, umutsuzlukve çaresizlik duygularına neden olan fiziksel, duygusal ve zihinsel bir tükenme durumudur.Tükenmişlik kavramı insanlara yüz yüze hizmet veren ve insan merkezli meslekdallarında daha fazla görülmektedir. Bu mesleklerden birisi de rehber öğretmenlik/psikolojikdanışmanlıktır. Rehber öğretmenler eğitim kurumlarında yöneticiler, öğretmenler,öğrenciler ve ailelerle en çok iletişim halinde olan bireylerdir. Yoğun insan ilişkileriiçinde olan rehber öğretmenlerin tükenmişlik yaşama ihtimallerin diğer bireylere kıyasladaha fazla olduğu düşüncesine dayandırılan bu çalışmada devlet okullarında görev yapanrehber öğretmenlerin tükenmişlik düzeyleri ve buna etki eden faktörler farklı değişkenleregöre incelenecektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, İstanbul ili Avrupa yakasında farklıokul kademelerinde çalışan 75 rehber öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileriMaslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği’nin uygulanması ile elde edilen sonuçlar ile yöneltilen ikiadet açık uçlu soruların yanıtlarından elde edilmiştir. Verilerin nicel analizinde SPSS istatistikpaket programı, açık uçlu anket soruları için de içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır.Rehber öğretmenlerin ölçeğin duygusal tükenme ve duyarsızlaşma alt boyutlarındadüşük, kişisel başarı alt boyutunda ise yüksek puan aldıkları saptanmıştır. Ayrıca rehberöğretmenlerin tükenmişlik düzeyini okulun fiziki durumu, rehber öğretmenlerin kişiselalgısı ve mesleki problemler olmak üzere üç alt boyutun etkilediği görülmektedir.

PECULIARITIES OF THE SYNTHESIS OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE CERAMICS TASI2–SIC, REINFORCED IN SITU BY DISCRETE SILICON CARBIDE NANOFIBERS
Authors: Vorotilo S. , Polozova E. D. , Levashov E. A.
Published: December 2018

The possibility of the increase of the properties of ceramics in the TaSi2–SiC system via the reinforcement by the SiC nanofibers formed in situ in the combustion wave has been studied. For the formation of nanofibers as well as for increase of the exothermicity of the reaction mixtures, energetic additive PTFE (C2F4) was used. Using the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of the mechanically activated mixtures, 70%TaSi2+30%SiC ceramic was produced, with SiC present as the round-shaped grains and as nanofibers. Ceramic specimens sintered by hot pressing were characterized by relative density up to 98 %, hardness 19,0–19,2 GPa and fracture toughness 7,5–7,8 MPa·m1/2, which is noticeably above the fracture toughness of the ceramic with similar composition produced without the PTFE additions.

Changes in phase composition of soderites of the bakal deposit at heating
Authors: Sheshukov O. Yu. , Mikheenkov M. A. , Vyaznikova E. A. , Bykov A. S. , Vedmid’ L. B.
Published: December 2018

The article presents the results of a study of formation mechanism of magnesia-ferrite when heated siderites of the Bakal deposit with different iron oxide content in an inert and oxidizing atmosphere. It was established that in the case of firing in an inert atmosphere, the decomposition of siderite with high iron content begins at a lower temperature and the enthalpy of such decomposition is less. This effect can be explained by the different phase composition of the samples. The main phases formed under conditions of oxidative firing are hematite and magnesia-ferrite. The amount of hematite and magnesia-ferrite produced in the samples with different iron oxide content during firing in an oxidizing atmosphere is different. Siderite with high content of iron oxides contains more hematite in the firing products than magnesia-ferrite, and siderite with a low content of iron oxides contains more magnesia-ferrite in the firing products than hematite. Formed under conditions of oxidative firing magnesia-ferrites are solid solutions and differ in the degree of substitution of iron and magnesium ions. In siderites with high content of iron oxides, the degree of substitution of magnesium ions with iron ions is greater than in samples with a low content of iron oxides. Since the siderites of the Bakal deposit are poor ore formations, the considerable amount of magnesia-ferrite formed in them during firing makes it difficult to separate silicate and iron-oxide firing products by traditional enrichment methods. Wustite in the products of oxidative firing is not detected, because under these conditions it is in a metastable state and in the presence of a weakly oxidizing atmosphere is converted into magnetite. The scientific novelty is the explanation of the mechanism of siderite decomposition and the description of products of such decomposition. Understanding of the mechanism of decomposition of siderite from the Bakal deposit made it possible to develop the technology of reductive firing of siderite to facilitate separation of its products, and which consists in the regulation of the phase composition of silicate products of reductive firing, ensuring the collapse of magnesia-ferrite and output of iron oxide in a separate phase. The developed technology can be used to provide high-quality enrichment of siderite from the Bakal deposit.

SHS process application in Ti3SiC2–Ni composite fabrication
Authors: Amosov A. P. , Latukhin E. I. , Ryabov A. M.
Published: December 2018

The paper reviews the results of using the process of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) to obtain high-temperature nickel alloys and composites based on titanium carbide (TiC) and nickel. In order to reduce the brittleness of these composites, it was proposed to replace the TiC ceramic phase by the MAX phase of titanium silicon carbide (Ti3SiC2) and use the SHS process to obtain a Ti3SiC2–Ni skeleton composite. Nickel for Ti3SiC2skeleton infiltration was introduced in three variants: by introducing to the reaction mixture; in the form of a briquette located between two SHS charge briquettes; and similar to the second variant, but with the barrier layers of paper between the Ni and SHS charge briquettes. It was shown that Ni melt in all three variants prevents the formation of the titanium silicon carbide MAX phase thus leading to its degradation. Ni introduction into the reaction mixture according to the first variant made it possible to obtain a homogeneous composite, which became almost non-porous with an increase in Ni concentration up to 50 %. When the Ni briquette was placed between two compacted briquettes of SHS charge, it was possible to melt a relatively small amount of Ni (23–29 % of the mass of synthesized composite samples), which was not enough to completely fill the porous layered skeletons of Ti3SiC2. 20 % of Si added to the Ni briquette increased infiltration depth, lowered the degree of MAX phase degradation at the infiltration point, and formed a more homogeneous composite consisting of a porous skeleton of TiC, TiSi2and Ti3SiC2phases partially filled with metallic nickel during Ni(Si) melt infiltration.
On the question of the applicability of G.V. Samsonov’s activated sintering concept in studying the processes of powder material deformation
Authors: Dorofeyev V. Yu. , Sviridova D. N. , Kochkarova Kh. S.
Published: December 2018

Some Yu.G. Dorofeev’s memoirs about joint work and meetings with outstanding materials science expert G.V. Samsonov are given. Meetings in Yugoslavia were of particular importance where G.V. Samsonov and M.M. Ristićtogether with other worldfamous scientists created the International Institute for the Science of Sintering. In the last years of his life, G.V. Samsonov proposed the concept of sintering activation by additives that act as electron acceptors and additionally contribute to the ionic bond in the matrix material. The paper considers the possibility of using this concept in the development of activating additives that reduce the activation energy of the plastic deformation of iron-based powder materials. Sintering activation when forming stable electronic configurations can be accomplished by: 1) accelerating the grain-boundary heterodiffusion of the matrix material in the presence of phase segregations containing an activating microadditive (W–Ni system); 2) intensifying shrinkage durng the plastic flow of matrix material particles facilitated by diffusion porosity formed in the additive particles as a result of predominant additive atom diffusion into base metal particles (Fe–Ni, Fe–Co, Fe–Mn systems); 3) increasing the self-diffusion coefficient of base metal atoms due to the expanded area of a less close-packed crystal lattice (αphase) upon activating additive dissolution (Fe–Mo system). The article reviews the information available on the prospects for using manganese and chromium as compaction activating additives. The compaction activation energy of iron-based powder materials can be reduced by introducing manganese additives. At the same time, the use of diffusion saturation technology is promising. The question of using chromium as an activator does not have an unambiguous answer and suggests the need for further study.
Strategic Management of Labor Resources
Authors: Novikova I. V.
Published: December 2018

This article discusses the main elements and functions of the strategic management of labor resources. The theoretical basis of this work is the methodology of strategic management, developed by Dr. Vladimir Kvint.

This article substantiates the need for the strategic planning of labor resources in an enterprise. The article analyzes an employer’s eleven types of direct and indirect labor resources costs that can be optimized in the strategizing process.

The main elements of strategic management are leadership, organizational structures, management, managers and their organizational skills, a well developed decision making process, and managerial technology. The use of an automated process model of human resource management in the transition to industry 4.0, is promising. This includes all divisions of the organization and all the stages of labor resources functioning.

The main functions of the strategic management system which are discussed in the article are the strategic planning, strategic motivation, strategic monitoring and control of personnel.

This article supports the concept that global labor markets which are in the process of formation need to use different forms of employment for strategic management than their counterparts in developed economies. To that end, this paper presents new organizational forms of employment by the Eurofund. Professor Kvint also discusses the need to take into account the norms of international labor legislation and the laws of those countries whose labor resources will be necessary for the project.

The experience in developing industrial and labor cards 4.0. is part of the strategic management of labor resources. This new technology is very promising, because it will substantially increase the efficiency of the systems necessary for managing labor resources in the global perfect.
To a question of development of the scenario of breakthrough development of the industrial enterprises in the conditions of the fourth industrial revolution
Authors: Tolstykh T. O. , Shkarupeta E. V.
Published: December 2018

The fourth industrial revolution gives hope for continuation of development of human society which has already led to sharp improvement of quality of life of billions of people after 1800. To achieve it, collaboration of a set of interested parties is necessary for performance of three main tasks: it is fair to distribute the benefits from technological breaks, to constrain their inevitable negative effects and to guarantee that new technologies will expand, but not to limit a possibility of all inhabitants of Earth. The fourth industrial revolution represents a new stage in development of humanity. Her base – three previous industrial revolutions, and driving force – the growing availability of the latest technologies. This revolution only begins therefore the mankind can – and is obliged – not only to develop new technologies, but also to create more flexible forms of government and positive values which will change how we live we work and we communicate. Customization, change of balance of forces between the value of experience of certain designers and value of digital models, decentralization of design and production, new requirements to certification – all these changes become a reality of the global competitive industry. Theoretical and practical aspects of development and implementation of the scenario of breakthrough technological development of the industrial enterprises in the conditions of the Fourth industrial revolution are presented in article. The characteristic and distinctive features of the Fourth industrial revolution is considered on the basis of what the conclusion is drawn that breakthrough technological development can give huge advantages to economy and society. When developing the scenario of technological breakthrough by authors it is offered to use bilateral approach which it is possible to call the strategy of scaling (zoom-in, zoomout). The most perspective directions which the industrial enterprises need to develop for implementation of the scenario of digital transformation today are allocated.
