Authors: Kutukov S.E. , Promtov M.A. , Koliuh A.N. , Chetvertkova O.V.
Published: November 2024

Physical methods of exposure can be used to improve the rheological characteristics of viscous, resinous oils, the transportation of which through main pipelines requires additional operating costs. The authors of this article evaluated the effectiveness of the method for improving oil rheology due to multifactorial effects (shear loads, high–amplitude pressure pulses, developed turbulence) on a sample of a mixture of oils of the Ukhta - Yaroslavl oil pipeline in a rotary pulse apparatus (RIA). The specific power consumption for processing an oil sample was 2.84 kWh/m3. The initial rheological and physico-chemical parameters of the studied oil are described, according to which it is characterized as heavy, viscous, highly resinous oil. The analysis of the flow curves showed that, by the nature of the flow, the sample of a mixture of oils from the Ukhta — Yaroslavl main oil pipeline belongs to Newtonian liquids. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the multifactorial effect on the oil sample implemented in RIA was carried out using dimensionless coefficients showing the ratio of dynamic viscosity, the specific power required to maintain the flow of oil in a rotary viscometer before and after physical exposure to oil, as well as the ratio of the change in the energy of thixotropy of oil to the energy spent on the processing process. The samples were processed in an RIA-based installation, in which pressure pulsations, developed turbulence, and large shear loads are generated in the liquid flow. When comparing the viscosity values of untreated and treated mixed oil in a rotary pulse apparatus, the dynamic viscosity measured at 20 °C decreased by 8 %. The component composition of the oil after processing in RIA has practically not changed. Measuring the viscosity of oil before processing and immediately after processing in RIA shows a decrease in viscosity by more than two times, since the temperature of the oil flow increases after passing through RIA by more than 10 °C. The increase in oil temperature during processing is due to large shear stresses during its flow in slit channels and in the gap between the rotor and stator due to the large amplitude of pressure pulsations and flow velocity.The relaxation time of the rheological parameters of the treated oil was seven days.

Published: November 2024

The article discusses the issues of industrial safety at the enterprises of the oil and gas industry, in particular during the performance of tripping operations. The relevance of the research topic is justified, based on the fact that this industry in our country (oil production) occupies one of the leading positions in the world, and all processes are accompanied by tripping operations, therefore, the issue of ensuring industrial safety remains relevant.The problems of the oil and gas sector and their impact on the drilling process, in particular, high wear of equipment and the human factor, were considered.The study focuses on non-compliance with occupational health and safety standards, as well as shortcomings in the risk management system that contributed to the occurrence of these emergencies. Rostekhnadzor data related to the distribution of industrial injuries were analyzed. Cases of violation of industrial safety regulations during tripping operations were considered, which led to severe traumatic injuries and fatal outcomes.Based on the analysis of regulatory requirements in the field of production safety of tripping operations, shortcomings were found, and recommendations were made for making changes based on the existing safety status at the facilities of such problems as equipment deterioration, the relevance of existing protective equipment.The second block is aimed at considering the technical features of the receiving walkways and identifying design imperfections during their operation.The article proposes a shock-resistant protective limiting device of its own design, which will contribute to improving the production safety of tripping operations when drilling wells. The use of this device will minimize the risks of damage to equipment and reduce the likelihood of emergencies. Due to its simplicity and the use of available materials, the device has high strength and durability, which ensures its reliable operation in conditions of increased loads and difficult climatic conditions. In addition, the introduction of such devices in production processes helps reduce the cost of repair and maintenance of equipment, as well as increase the overall efficiency of drilling operations by reducing downtime and unplanned shutdowns associated with incidents.
STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF DRILLING EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS USING MATERIALS WITH THERMOELASTIC PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS
Authors: Balayev E.Yu. , Samarin M.A. , Shostak N.A.
Published: November 2024

Alloys exhibiting thermoelastic phase transformations are increasingly being used in various industries. This is due to their shape memory effect and the phenomenon of pseudoelasticity (superelasticity), which can significantly improve the performance of various technical systems. Equipment for drilling oil and gas wells is one of the most demanding in terms of reliability and service life, in connection with which the gradual introduction of the above-described intelligent materials and the phenomena they manifest in the oil and gas industry began. This article analyzes the developed design and proposes methods of mounting/dismounting roller bit elements made according to the proposed design using an alloy with thermoelastic phase transformations, namely the shape memory effect, and compares them with existing designs. Computational studies and computational analysis of the design of the fastening of drilling equipment elements using the Solid Works program and the Solid Works Simulation module were carried out, which showed significant advantages of the proposed method when applying the shape memory effect as a method of geometric fixation during installation compared to interference fit. Tests were also carried out on the IR-200-0 breaking machine in order to verify and confirm the theoretical results obtained using special equipment, with the use of which the reliability of fixation due to the intermediate bushing with taper was determined. As an example, sleeves with an inclination angle to the axis of the cone of 3 degrees were made, fixed in the hole with a reverse taper with a response angle of inclination. The tests confirmed the assumptions made and the results obtained in the course of theoretical calculations and computer modeling, showing that even in the martensitic state this alloy fixes the teeth in special holes of the rolling cutter more reliably compared to the interference fit, which, in turn, makes it possible to conclude that it is advisable to use the proposed installation method, which gives obvious advantages over existing ones.
A comparative view of the South African and Canadian framework for issuing work visas to skilled refugees and asylum seekers
Authors: Loedolf Kim-Leigh , Hector Megan
Published: November 2024

South Africa faces a shortage of skilled workers due to long-standing systemic challenges that prevent it from producing the skills necessary for economic development. In 2021, only 25 per cent of persons employed in South Africa were considered highly skilled. The critical skills work visa has been designed to facilitate the employment of skilled immigrants, but is unsuitable for doing so in the case of skilled asylum seekers and refugees, even though the latter could alleviate the shortage of skilled workers. While members of this group are eligible to apply for a critical skills work visa, they face significant obstacles that hinder their chances of obtaining one. This article highlights the barriers this group encounters and draws lessons from Canada's Economic Mobility Pathways Project, which has successfully connected skilled refugees to employers and filled in-demand positions. In South Africa, the likelihood of obtaining a critical skills work visa without governmental intervention is low for many in this group, resulting in a waste of their skills. The article compares the South African case to how Canada has integrated skilled refugees to occupations requiring skills. Canada's partnerships with NPOs such as Talent Beyond Borders have been vital in assisting skilled refugees and connecting them to employers. The article thus argues that to employ skilled refugees in positions commensurate with their skills, the South African government has to assist and form partnerships with organisations specialising in this cause.
Can a successor comparator be used in an equal pay claim under Section 6(4) of the EEA?
Authors: Ebrahim Shamier
Published: November 2024

One of the purposes of the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 ('EEA') is to achieve equity in the workplace by promoting fair treatment and equal opportunity through eliminating unfair discrimination (section 2(a) of the EEA). Section 5 of the EEA obliges every employer to take steps to promote equal opportunity in the workplace by eliminating unfair discrimination in any employment practice or policy. Section 6(1) of the EEA then prohibits unfair discrimination against employees on a number of grounds which includes an arbitrary ground. Van Niekerk et al state that sections 5 and 6 of the EEA contain a generally expressed obligation to promote equality through the elimination of unfair discrimination as well as the prohibition of unfair discrimination on a list of specified and other grounds (Van Niekerk et al Law@work (2023) 131). Du Toit et al state that the EEA proscribes unfair discrimination as part of its wider purpose of promoting employment equity (Du Toit et al Labour Relations Law: A Comprehensive Guide (2023) 766).- please remove 'et al' and list all the authors.
The ongoing battle for secure tenure for non-owners in light of Grobler v Phillips
Authors: Boggenpoel Zsa Zsa
Published: November 2024

The SCA and CC judgments in Grobler v Phillips highlight the complexity of land relations, the continued vulnerability of non-owners and the extent to which laws, which are often very progressive, are sometimes limited in their potential to give substantive rights. This is a problem that manifested because of the SCA judgment in Grobler v Phillips. Where it is held that an eviction is not just and equitable, it could prove to be highly problematic, especially in terms of what an owner is obliged to accept, and regarding the tenure security of the unlawful occupier who is not evicted. The uncertainty in the context of what happens when an eviction order cannot be granted requires urgent attention, whether you are dealing with single owners and unlawful occupiers or unlawful occupation on a large scale, the need for longer-term, more sustainable, solutions is imperative. The question of where the authority for such a solution lies, and how such rights should be constructed or developed in future, should be prioritised in the coming years. The Grobler debacle has also revealed the further questions around what can be expected of landowners in the new constitutional dispensation. More specifically, it has sparked renewed questions about the duty on private individuals in providing alternative accommodation to evicted occupiers. Although the court was vehement in its denial of any obligation on landowners to provide alternative accommodation, this article has challenged this denial especially in so far as such a conclusion does not necessarily line up with prior judgments in this regard.

Visiting Hannah Arendt: Reflections on the civic affordances of storytelling in design education
Authors: Cassim Fatima
Published: November 2024

In this article, I consider the role of storytelling as a civic act, which is made visible through a reflection on the storytelling processes that informed the underpinning of a curriculum project showcased during the Stories Worth Telling exhibition (2023). To this end, I focus on how the stories worth telling are shaped, archived, and celebrated through participatory engagements and experiences by fourth-year Information Design students at the University of Pretoria. Underscored by Hannah Arendt's notion that storytelling serves as a bridge between the private and public realms, I highlight the civic affordances of the storytelling process that may ultimately augment the students' critical thinking and not only their technical design capabilities.
Named after Nelson: Tracing the threads of graphic heritage in Gauteng, South Africa
Authors: Burger Yolandi , Harland Robert , McKenzie Celeste
Published: November 2024

Places named after prominent figures like Nelson Mandela symbolise their legacies and shared values, offering an opportunity to learn about their lives and impact on society. In this article, we explore the concept of "graphic heritage" - a term that extends beyond physical markers to include theoretical understandings that enhance our knowledge of and experience with these places. Employing a "constructionist" perspective, we view the meanings associated with these places as constructed through individual interpretations. Working alongside the Nelson Mandela Foundation, our research focuses on six locations named after Nelson Mandela in Gauteng, South Africa. These sites are part of the Nelson Mandela Foundation's mission to promote a just society by preserving Mandela's legacy and fostering dialogue on social issues. Using photographic documentation inspired by Zeisel's "Design by Inquiry" framework, we examine the dynamic interplay between graphic heritage, toponymy (the study of place names), and topophilia (the emotional bond between people and places). The narrative weaves through the historical contexts and temporal dimensions of these places, enriching our understanding of Mandela's extensive influence. It identifies thematic threads that link graphic heritage with place names and emotional connections to places, concluding that an in-depth study of graphic heritage illuminates what is present and absent, revealing the profound layers of storytelling in design.
Formation of values in international law: historical and legal analysis
Authors:   Perm Branch of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Tretyakova Ekaterina S.
Published: November 2024

At present, in the transitional period of the evolution of the international legal system, it becomes more relevant than ever to turn to historical and legal studies of various aspects of the formation of international law, to search for political and legal constants, evolutionary regularities, legal traditions and, of course, legal values formed at previous stages, because it is they who keep the results of past legal activity and allow understanding and reforming the current legal systems, determining the conceptual vectors of development. Legal values, among other things, have a direct normative form. First of all, these are principles of law as basic principles reflecting the general format of legal regulation in a particular legal system at a particular stage of its development. Principles allow building a legal system in accordance with the (ideal) attitudes of society, their nonrecognition or ignoring leads to various kinds of conflict situations in society. Principles of law are designed to fulfil the axiological function, which consists in the fact that they include the understanding of values in law, in the legal system, legislate the basis of the legal ideal. International law, as well as national law, can certainly be considered as an object of value relation from the standpoint of the categories of good and evil, true and untrue, permissible or prohibited, just and unjust. International law as an independent legal system has been recognised since the 19th century, at the same time, as a result of the intensification of international relations, international law was actively developed. In parallel, the corresponding international legal values began to be formed, including those reflected in the principles of international law, which in this period have not yet been legally formalised, however, on the basis of the analysis of international legal relations can be formulated. In the author's opinion, such principles include the principle of co-operation, the principle of settling disputes by peaceful means, the prohibition of trade in Negroes, and the legal status of diplomatic representatives and consular agents. These principles are directly related to the international legal values that were in the process of formation. In the course of the conducted research it was established that in the XIX century, the period of active formation of international law, including the formation and formalisation of international legal values took place. Despite the fact that the considered legal values and relevant principles back in the XIX century, we cannot but note that they have their direct significance for modern international law. Moreover, international legal values are in direct relationship with the legal values of individual states and influence national legal systems and their values.
Implementation and protection of civil rights in the context of digital transformation of relations
Authors:   Moscow State Law University named after O.E. Kutafin, Vavilin Evgeniy V.
Published: November 2024

Socio-economic changes caused by digitalization naturally require the adaptation of existing mechanisms for the implementation and protection of civil rights to new digital realities. Current problems in the field of the implementation and protection of civil rights are combined into two large-scale blocks. Firstly, these are modern problems of classical institutions of civil law, and secondly, these are problems related to the formation of fundamentally new institutions of civil law, the digitalization of civil turnover. In this regard, the main conceptual approaches to the development of civil law at the present stage include: the revision of traditional institutions of civil law, the introduction of relations with digital objects and technologies into existing civil law institutions, situational civil law regulation, the formation of independent legal regimes. Modern problems of civil law concern the main legal regimes – property, obligation, inheritance, corporate law, as well as intellectual property rights. The most obvious problems are the definition and correlation of new concepts that are similar in essence: digital property, digital objects, digital property, digital assets, digital financial assets, digital currency, digital law. The identification of the legal essence of these phenomena will allow the formation of new legal regimes and correlate them with the legal regimes of property, liability, corporate law, and intellectual property rights. As a result of digitalization, there is a gradual transformation of traditional institutions of civil law. The so-called machine-readable law is being formed. One of the ways to modernize legislation is the enrichment of new concepts and categories, the lacunary introduction of individual norms or entire regulatory systems that have a different nature of impact on public relations related to digital objects and the digital form of the exercise of rights and duties. The protection of property and non-property rights is becoming one of the few most effective levers of state influence on participants in relations emerging in the innovation sphere. The protection of rights must be made directly dependent on the legitimacy of the actions of the participants in the relations in the information and telecommunications system. It is necessary to legislate a rule according to which any actions circumventing the law, regardless of whether or not the subject's goal was to circumvent the law, should be qualified as an abuse of the right, entailing the loss of the right to protection. To solve problems in the field of the exercise and protection of civil rights, it is necessary to create a multi-system approach to regulating relations: along with the traditional system of law (dividing law into branches, institutions and norms), a special machine-readable law based on digital algorithm technology and program code should be formed.

Identifying pathogens, resistance-conferring mutations, and strain types through targeted amplicon sequencing is an important tool. However, due to the limitations of short read sequencing, many applications require the division of limited clinical samples. Here, we present stilPCR (single-tube Illumina long read PCR), which allows the generation of hemi-nested amplicons in a single tube, with Illumina indexes and adapters, effectively increasing the Illumina read length without increasing the input requirements of reagents or sample. We have successfully utilized stilPCR on clinical sputum from tuberculosis patients to detect drug resistance mutations.

In Search of the Reasons for Expressing Resentment Towards Children on the Internet
Authors: Bańczyk Emilia
Published: November 2024

The article aims to highlight the phenomenon of adults expressing resentment towards children and to try to reach its causes. The subject of the study consists of the statements of internet users perceived through the prism of linguistic discourse analysis. The author distinguishes three groups of causes: cultural (individualism, freedom in way of life, egocentrism), social (child-centrism vs. loss of social contact with the child) and psychological (individual). Cultural reasons relate to the fact that people nowadays value freedom and don’t want to make sacrifices for children who they consider a disturbance to their orderly, ideal way of life and individualistic mindset. Social causes come in the form of two seemingly opposing ideas. The first is about protest against pressure to have and to like children, alongside the priority given to families with children. The second is about the loss of social contact with the child, caused by the change in the family model and the privatization of motherhood. Psychological causes are of an individual nature; they may be related to trauma and various hypersensitivities and often manifest in expressions of disgust towards children. The author draws attention to the normalization of rude language behavior and the escalation of expressed resentment, which raises questions about the possibility of age discrimination.

Theoretical background: The evolution of the instrumentation of quality management makes the list of methods and tools constantly open and inexhaustible. The problems of dividing and classifying quality management instruments are very often discussed in the literature. The need to have a variety of methods and tools is due to the fact that the development of modern competitive strategies, affecting the strengthening of market position, the need for rapid decision-making, as well as progress, mainly in the field of information technology and continuous changes in markets, pose qualitatively new challenges to managers. Purpose of the article: The purpose of this article is to present selected quality management instrumentation by process group. Research methods: In this article, literature review was the starting point for empirical research. Finally, a set of fifty new and classic quality management methods and tools in relation to their main functions was analysed. Based on this, data tables were generated. Main findings: In a large collection of methods, tools and solutions, new concepts appear that are multi-disciplinary and require interdisciplinary knowledge. The choice of appropriate quality instruments is determined by the specificity of the organization and many other variables. The correct use of quality management instruments contributes to solving problems at the management and executive levels of production enterprises, while enriching knowledge about processes.
Readiness to Use the Digital Euro (CBDC) by Consumers Based on the Example of France and Germany
Authors: Huterski Robert , Zdunek-Rosa Ewa
Published: November 2024

Theoretical background: Attempts to offer the users of state money its new digital form with characteristics partially similar to cash and cryptocurrencies led to the creation of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) concept. In October 2020, the European Central Bank (ECB) published a report on the conditions for building the concept of the digital euro. On January 12, 2021, the ECB completed collecting the opinions of potential users (understood as natural persons) and representatives of companies, institutions, and experts on their expectations for the future digital euro. However, the survey only asked a few questions about the preferred features of the digital euro. The questionnaire form was only available on the website of the ECB, which made the respondents a specific group as only those who were interested in visiting the website replied. Representatives of companies, institutions, and experts also provided answers from the user’s point of view. The questions did not take into account the characteristics of the respondents ensuring the representativeness of the research sample. Purpose of the article: The article aims to define the relationship between the characteristics of consumers (individual users of money as a product of the central bank) from France and Germany and their acceptance of using the digital euro. Research methods: The analysis used data from a survey conducted using the CAWI method. The study was conducted in August 2021 on a group of adult internet users representative in terms of gender, age, and place of residence, including 638 German and 646 French respondents (full responses). Main findings: The results show that in both countries the consumers most willing to accept the digital euro are men rather than women, consumers already taking advantage of the opportunities offered by mobile banking, and consumers who believe that the money entrusted to banks is not safe. However, the differences observed in the example of only these two countries support the conclusion of other researchers about the need to conduct this type of research either in the entire eurozone or in selected eurozone countries with specific payment habits.

Rooted in sociology term “ethnicity” is juxtaposed here with the modern technology of the global network. The Internet and related applications are changing numerous aspects of our lives, both individually and collectively. The change this technology brings is radical. Digitalization and global connections aff ect every aspect of social life – everyday life, customs, politics, economics, interpersonal relations and ways of organizing social life. Social phenomena as we know them are being transformed; new ones are also being created, such as virtual communities uniting people who, without sharing a common territory, feel a strong bonds and are able to act together effectively. The above comments also apply to the phenomenon mentioned in the title of the article. This work analyses ethnicity expressed through online communication practices. Comparing offl ine and online ethnicity, the article notes the numerous positive functions of the Internet for articulation of ethnicity and raises questions about the defi nition and methods of examining online manifestations of ethnicity.
Differences in Heating Temperature and Type of Phytase Enzyme on Enzyme Activity, Calcium and Phosphorus Levels in Complete Poultry Feed
Authors: Sobur Sobur , Tafsin Makruf , Julianti Elisa
Published: November 2024

Phytic acid is an antinutritional factor that can negatively affect livestock productivity by reducing the bioavailability of essential nutrients. Its content in feed ingredients can be minimized or even eliminated through various processing techniques, such as the addition of phytase enzymes. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different heating temperatures and types of phytase enzymes on enzyme activity, calcium, and phosphorus levels in complete poultry feed. The research was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with a factorial arrangement. The treatment consisted of two factors: factor A (phytase enzyme addition at three levels: no enzyme (0 FTU), commercial enzyme A (800 FTU), and commercial enzyme B (800 FTU), and factor B (heating temperature levels of 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, and 80°C). Each treatment combination was replicated three times. Data were analyzed using Minitab software, followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) to determine significant differences between treatments at a 5% significance level. The results indicated that the addition of phytase enzymes significantly affected (P0.05) enzyme activity, calcium, and phosphorus levels in the feed. The best results for enzyme activity were observed with the treatment EAT3 (commercial phytase enzyme A at a heating temperature of 75°C), while the best results for calcium and phosphorus levels were achieved with treatment EBT3 (commercial phytase enzyme B at a heating temperature of 75°C).

Published: November 2024

Nomophobia, the anxiety experienced when individuals are separated from their mobile phones, is becoming increasingly prevalent in modern workplaces. This study investigates the role of organizational commitment in mitigating nomophobia, with a focus on the mediating influence of the ethical environment. Data were collected from 600 participants and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings show that a strong sense of organizational commitment significantly reduces nomophobia among employees. Additionally, an ethical environment within organizations further mitigates this anxiety by fostering a workplace culture that encourages psychological well-being. This research provides practical insights for organizations looking to reduce the psychological strain associated with digital dependency, emphasizing the importance of both commitment and a strong ethical climate.

Published: November 2024

Since the latter half of the last decade, there has been a rapid transformation in workforce demographics as Generation Z enters the workplace dynamic and takes over the responsibilities of retiring Baby Boomers. However, as Generation Z employees gradually enter the workforce, organizational human resource practices have yet to evolve to address the performance issues this generation poses, resulting in higher employee turnover ratios among Generation Z employees. Despite this problem, Generation Z has a potential characteristic that will benefit organizations: intrapreneurship. This research examines the influence of grit on intrapreneurship as a valuable construct for Generation Z through the mediation of career adaptability. This research uses quantitative methods with mediation analysis. The results of this research show no direct influence of grit on intrapreneurship. When career adaptability is included as a moderator variable, the analysis results show a significance value below 0.05, which shows the role of career adaptability as a full mediator between grit and intrapreneurship.

Purpose. The author aims to create a model of the evolution of law as a Western European socio-cultural phenomenon based on materials of medieval Spain, where the formation and fundamental transformation of law occurred. The peculiarity of this model lies in the fact that the content component predominates over the chronological one. Methodology: to achieve this goal, the author uses the method of legal modeling within the framework of the anthropological methodological approach, which is considered to be one of the most promising in modern science. This approach allows for taking into account the features of human consciousness that creates, re-creates, and deconstructs socio-cultural phenomena, that exist both subjectively and objectively. Conclusions: In modern legal theory, there are two contradictory concepts. On the one hand, there is logocentrism, which represents rationalism as a foundation of the theory of knowledge. On the other hand, there is the idea that social reality contains an irrational element. This new perspective challenges the assumption that knowledge can fully reflect reality.This approach allowed us to create a model of the development of law in the context of Western European legal civilization, considering its socio-cultural aspect. The article demonstrates that the study of Law in higher educational institutions is based on an understanding that it is both universal, due to the unified psychophysiological nature of human consciousness, and individual, determined by cultural and civilizational characteristics. Scientific and practical relevance. The theoretical significance of the results is based on the possibility of applying the model developed in this study to other states, both within the Romano-Germanic legal family and in other regions. This approach allows for taking into account cultural differences while maintaining the universality of the model. The practical significance of this study lies in its potential to contribute to legal education by providing students with a deeper understanding of the evolution of normative systems and the factors that influence these changes. This knowledge could then be applied in various contexts, such as law schools and professional training programs to enhance the understanding and application of legal principles.

Published: November 2024

The article analyzes the formation and development of the institution of mandatory requirements and what legal relations were regulated by it. It is noted that the term “mandatory requirements” is not new to Russian legislation, but it has been mentioned in the Soviet period. Despite the noted long-term experience, the regulation of mandatory requirements has undergone serious changes even during the recent history of the Russian Federation. Taking into account the identified trend, as well as on the basis of an analysis of current legislation, the author concluded that the legislator could not determine his understanding of mandatory requirements, and therefore, even with the latest legislative changes, significant legal gaps and contradictions were allowed.

It is necessary to intensify the processes of legal integration of the Union State.
