Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study was to conduct national and cross-country analyses to provide insights about educator cognitive skills in literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving within Canada and across nineteen countries using the PIAAC data. MANOVA results of profession differences within Canada demonstrated that educators outperformed other professions in general programs, health and welfare, and services but underperformed the professions in science, mathematics, and computing in all three domains. MANOVA results of educator differences across countries showed that educators in Canada outperformed those in Denmark, Estonia, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom in literacy, outperformed the United Kingdom in numeracy, and outperformed Denmark, Estonia, and the United Kingdom in problem-solving. Finally, multiple regression analyses identified statistically significant indicators of Canadian educators’ literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving proficiencies. The results of this study reveal and suggest that the cognitive skills of Canadian educators have the potential to be enhanced.

Undergraduate Academic Probation Policies in U.S. Universities: A Policy Discourse Analysis
Authors: Barouch-Gilbert Abraham
Published: November 2023

This paper explores undergraduate academic probation policies in United States universities from a policy discourse analysis perspective. Academic probation policies from 32 institutions were characterized by normalization and regulation. These encompassed classification, exclusion, and sanctions of students in order to produce retention. Consideration needs to be given to existing academic probation policies as discourse, their origins, the social identities, and particular realities that are being constructed by them. Institutions should question if academic probation policies are truly aligned with student retention to avoid these policies being an obstacle itself to student retention. Keywords: academic probation policy, higher education, critical discourse analysis, student retention. Cet article explore les politiques de probation académique des étudiants de premier cycle dans les universités américaines dans une perspective d'analyse du discours politique. Les politiques de probation académique de 32 institutions sont caractérisées par la normalisation et la régulation. Elles englobent la classification, l'exclusion et les sanctions des étudiants afin de favoriser la rétention. Il est nécessaire de prendre en considération les politiques de probation académique existantes en tant que discours, leurs origines, ainsi que les identités sociales et les réalités particulières qu'elles construisent. Les institutions devraient se demander si les politiques de probation académique sont réellement alignées sur la rétention des étudiants afin d'éviter que ces politiques ne soient elles-mêmes un obstacle à la rétention des étudiants. Mots clés : politique de probation académique, enseignement supérieur, analyse du discours critique, persévérance scolaire
The First Korean Article on Aggregate Building Law Theory: Professor Chong Kil Tsche’s March 1970 Paper
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Lee Joon-Hyong
Published: November 2023

The first Korean article on aggregate building law theory is Chong Kil Tsche’s paper published in Seoul Law Journal vol. 11 no. 2 in March 1970, under the title of “Rechtsvergleichende und rechtserkennende Studie über das Wohnungsrecht(in English: Comparative and survey-based study of aggregate housing law, hereafter ‘the Paper’).” Though Professor Tsche had left only this one paper on the theme before he passed away at the age of 42 in 1973, the Paper is awarded meaning much more than as the first Korean article in this area of law.
To begin with, it is worth noting that despite being the first one, the Paper was mentioned in a widely cited German standard commentary, thereby introducing abroad the emerging field of law in Korea. Such an example is rare to find in other legal fields, which could be partly explained in the light of the author’s vivid international exchange activities.
However, the true value of the Paper should be found in its significant academic worth in and of itself. Firstly, it analyzed how Stockwerkseigentum, once denied by Pandectists in the tradition of Roman law, was revived as sectional ownership form of modern housing in Germany, France, and Japan due to social demand, skillfully using a comparative legal method. The results of the analysis are extraordinarily accurate and suggestive even by today's standards, more than 50 years later. Secondly, the paper scrutinized the legal situations concerning multi-family housing, which just began to take root in our society in the late 1960s, based on the actual documents of contracts. It summarizes how the legal problems caused by the absence or lack of related laws were resolved on-site, concluding that the final and desirable resolution should be possible through the enactment of overall systematic legislation.
Given our terribly deficient research resources in the late 1960s, the achievements of the Paper without any prior research is remarkably exceptional and admirable. To understand how all these were accomplished, each reference cited in the section on legal history in the Paper is meticulously searched for and compared with the original text. And it could be confirmed that the lack of European literature was supplemented with Japanese literature, and plausibly supposed that Professor Tsche might have at least partially consult the original directly.
Inspired by the Paper, a series of papers addressing the legal issues regarding aggregate buildings were published not only in practice but also at universities from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. And the Aggregate Building Act in 1984 was finally enacted in Korea with the full support of the Korean Civil Law Society and the courts. By the way, several key issues raised in the Paper - such as the relationship between shared ownership and exclusive ownership of common areas, as well as the time and conditions for the establishment of sectional ownership - are expected to continue to be discussed in the near future.
The geological composition of rifts in Sudan as related to oil and gas content
Authors:   Roxar Services, Tyumen, Russia, Podnebesnykh A. V.
Published: November 2023

Gradual increase in hydrocarbon production by the Saudi Arabia, Russia and the USA has led to the fact that today their share in the global production volume is about 42%, according to British Petroleum. At the same time, the market volume for small players, focused primarily on domestic demand and meeting the needs of their nearest neighbors, is falling proportionally. A striking example of this trend is the Republic of Sudan, on whose territory a small number of oil and gas fields are being developed, characterized by a very complex structure associated with rift sedimentary basins, which began to be studied in detail only a few years ago. The first comprehensive regional geological work began only at the end of 1974. As of today, all discovered oil reservoirs are located within rift zones, and the most promising one is the Muglad Basin, which contains eleven discovered oil fields connected with the terrigenous deposits of Upper Cretaceous and Miocene. Based on the study of seismic and core data, sequence stratigraphic and sedimentological models were built of the main depositional structures of the Muglad Basin, the potential was evaluated of the discovery of new hydrocarbon deposits. Keywords: rift valley; fields sedimentary complexes; Muglad Basin; Sudan; sequence stratigraphy.

The article analyzes the viscoelastic compositions breakthrough in the process of polymer flooding pilot testing in the conditions of a complex terrigenous reservoir of the Zaburunye deposit. It was found that a significant increase in the polymers concentration in producing wells is due to the high reserves’ depletion in the sites. It is shown that significant injection volumes, including polymers, as well as the new wells involvement into testing as part of polymer flooding experiment expansion are not environmentally justified, which is due to the high-filtering channels appearance, which are the main cause for physical destruction of polymer chains. To control this phenomenon, a variant of high-viscosity fringes pumping is proposed. Keywords: polymer; water manifestation; system approach; water isolation; oil recovery.

The article shows the results of planning and conducting hydrodynamic studies in producing wells analysis, which states that the pressure recovery curve (PRC) is an effective tool for solving problems of increasing the informativeness and knowledge of the reservoir energy state. The high degree of equipment with telemetry systems sensors (TSS) at the pump suction makes it possible to significantly increase the coverage of the field with estimates of reservoir parameters in the zones of drilling new wells. The depth sensors employment makes it possible to better succeed in reservoir pressure estimation and, as a result, eliminate an error in pressure recalculation. A large number of TSS sensors at producing wells allows us to digitalize the deposit, reduce losses in oil production by optimizing the research program and operational data using. The technology of express reservoir pressure estimation in the production and pressure analysis according to the data from the TSS sensor is considered in the article, which does not require a stop on the level recovery curve (LRC) or PRC, which thereby eliminates oil and liquid losses. This technique of reservoir pressure estimating allows to increase the coverage of research in fields with low-permeability reservoirs and in areas with high oil debits. Keywords: hydrodynamic studies of wells; oil field development; pressure recovery curve; permeability; telemetry system sensor; digitalization; oil production; reservoir parameters.

The article presents the results of the Novo-Khazinsky industrial experiment on the well grid density (WGD), taking into account the change in the understanding of the geological structure and current development indicators. The final oil recovery factor was determined, conclusions about the effect of well grid compaction on this indicator were summarized. It is shown that the well grid compaction at an early development stage in the conditions of heterogeneous layers of the Lower Carboniferous terrigenous strata (LCTS) of the Arlan field is expedient and significantly affects the final oil recovery factor (ORF). The increase in the final oil recovery factor from the WGD compaction from 14.7 to 10.3 ha/well with the organization of a rigid reservoir pressure maintenance system (RPM) is estimated at 0.125-unit fraction. The absence of the WGD influence on the geological and technological measures (GTM) effectiveness in terms of restoring oil production has been established. The efficiency of such well interventions is largely influenced by the geological and physical parameters of the well bottomhole formation zones and the well operation technological parameters. The results obtained can be used to analyze and improve the efficiency of existing development systems. Further study of the WGD impact on development indicators (on the example of a field experiment at the Akineevsky and Cherlak experimental sites of the Arlanskoye field) is of significant scientific and practical interest. Keywords: oil fields development; Arlan oil field; Novo-Khazinsky experiment; well grid density; oil recovery factor.

According to most researchers, the most promising alternative plugging materials are geopolymers - inorganic cementitious materials formed as a result of reaction of aluminosilicates with alkaline activator. Lightweight geopolymer mortars are of particular interest, allowing to considerably expand the conditions of application of such systems in cementing operations. To create lightweight geopolymer solutions, in the presented study the following agents were used as gas-forming agents: ferrosilicium slag and aluminum powder (AP). Ferrosilicium slag (FSS) is an industrial byproduct that is based on the oxidation process of free silicon in a chemical reaction. The application of FSS and AP leads to a 27% and 23% decrease in specific gravity of the specimens examined, an improvement in their mechanical properties, in particular increasing compressive strength by 3.9%, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity by 2.8% and 3.7% respectively, splitting tensile strength by 5.9%, compared to the use of AP as an extender additive.

It is known that roughness affects the drop in hydraulic pressure, increasing the resistance force. The formation of a boundary layer on rough surfaces significantly affects fluid dynamics and the process of heat exchange in convective flows, causing disturbances in the velocity profile and affecting surface resistance, turbulent mixing and heat exchange. Despite the fact that there are a large number of experimental and CFD studies in the field of studying turbulent flow, there is no full-fledged review of this issue. In view of this, it is necessary to systematize studies related to the study of the influence of a rough surface during turbulent fluid flow. In most cases, roughness is quantified only using a single scaling parameter – the equivalent roughness height of a grain of sand, which can be expressed based on statistical parameters. This article presents an overview and generalization of data on the parameters and characteristics of rough surfaces. The correlation method is considered using the standard deviation in the slope of the roughness profile, as well as the effect of the secondary flow on the flow of the coolant in a closed space. The results of this study can be used in the intensification of heat transfer in thermal destruction reactors using intensifiers in the form of discretely rough surfaces.

In order to evaluate the results of the complex impact on the oil layer, the method based on the mathematical modeling of fluid percolation in the layer by fixing the flow lines was used. By calculating and visualizing the distribution of hydrodynamic indicators of fluid filtration flows in the formation environment, the fast-acting mathematical model allows for a fairly accurate assessment of the current state of the impact process on productive formations. The proposed method for assessing the current state of liquid percolation during the impact of water-oil emulsion on the oil layer with local detailed solution , in the case of uncertainty - when solving the diagnostic problems that arise due to the lack of geophysical and hydrodynamic (physical, mechanical, lithological and other) data of the current indicators characterizing the reservoir system can prevent many difficulties.

A method is proposed for developing an oil deposit based on low-temperature oil oxidation as a result of initiating an exothermic reaction and subsequent injection of oxygen-containing gas into the reservoir. In the proposed method, which includes successive injection of aqueous solutions of potassium salt and sulfuric acid into the well, light oil or gas condensate is injected into the deposit before injection of the aqueous acid solution. Further, after injection of an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid into the formation, air is pumped with further pushing with water. In the method, a 16% aqueous solution of potassium dichromate is used as an aqueous solution of potassium salt. The application of the proposed technology led to an increase in the temperature in the reservoir above 200 °C and an increase in the displacement efficiency up to 19.7%.

Introduction. The most common reason for young children to seek medical aid in hospitals is head injuries caused by falls from a small height. Currently, computed tomography (CT) of the head is a preferred method for rapid detection of bone fractures and brain injuries in children.Purpose. To investigate specific features of CT signs of intracranial hemorrhages in children with TBI under three years of age.Material and methods. 1334 children aged less than one month to 3 years with isolated TBI were examined at CT scanning. 128-slice scanner "Ingenuity CT" (Philips) was used for the examination. Scanning of the area of interest (head + cervical spine) was performed at the lowest possible values to reduce radiation exposure, including the O-MAR program, with step 0.75 mm at slice thickness 0.75 mm; reconstruction interval was 2 mm. The voltage applied to an X-ray tube during scanning (kV), current strength and time (mAS) were selected depending on patient's weight and age. The effective dose range was from 1.27 mSv to 1.91 mSv.Results. In 510 out of 1334 injured children (38.2%), there were traumatic injuries of various degree, from uncomplicated cephalohematomas and linear fractures to massive intracranial hematomas and total cerebral edema; the rest 61.8% (n=824) had concussion. The performed CT scanning revealed that 87.84% (448/510) children had skull fractures, of which only 18.3% (82/448) had “isolated skull fractures”; the others (366 = 81.7%) had accompanying intracranial injuries.Discussion. Pathological changes in children, aged 0 mon-3 years, after TBI are significantly different of those in children of other age groups. CT is the basic primary diagnostic instrument and should be used in all children with TBI no later than the first three hours. Radiation diagnostics play a key role in putting a correct diagnosis, if physicians use the information obtained at CT and know TBI mechanism in infants and little children.Conclusion. CT is an imaging method of choice for acute TBI in little children to accurately identify and therefore treat intracranial lesions. In addition, CT is an effective diagnostic tool in detecting secondary traumatic injuries.

They are also associated with the development of the KazabachMerritt Phenomenon (KMP; Kasabach-Merritt Phenomenon).Material and methods. 8 patients (5 boys, 3 girls) with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (two out of them with Kazabakh-Merritt syndrome) and 4 patients (3 boys, 1 girl) with tufted angioma were treated at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital of Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University (Moscow, Russia) . All patients were prescribed Sirolimus therapy for antiproliferative purpose.Results. In all children, positive changes were registered: reduction of vascular tumor volume, gradual improvement of clinical picture and control of complications: pain syndrome, KMP, improvement or restoration of functions in affected organs /systems (increase/restoration of movement volume in joints, compensation for length discrepancy in lower legs). Complete resorption of vascular tumors and clinical symptoms were registered in 3 patients.Conclusion. The obtained encouraging results after Sirolimus therapy prescribed for treating KME and TA allow the authors to recommend this therapy to patients with KME with or without KMP and TA. However, further researches with a large sample of participants is required to confirm the obtained results.

Pretty pictures don’t make for good participation. A design study into the strategic alignment of the digital twin for citizen participation

More and more governments are using a ‘digital twin’ (DT), an advanced digital 3D representation of physical reality. With the many modelling, visual and interactive options, DTs could support citizen participation. In this way, DTs can contribute to ‘smart anticipation’. The question, however, is how can DTs be of value for citizen participation? This first requires strategic coordination of DTs with the internal and external environment. In this article we answer this question based on design research into the DT of the Dutch municipality of Almere (a recently built city close to Amsterdam in the province Flevoland). Based on the design science methodology, we study the DT’s commitment to citizen participation in a process of two interventions and validate our design. We argue that adopting a hospitable attitude is essential for shaping dual coordination to appropriately deploy DTs within a citizen participation process. The research contributes to the management science literature on the strategic alignment of digital technologies with organisational processes and contexts. Based on this research, we formulate concrete recommendations to governments that use, or would like to use, DTs to strengthen citizen participation.
Radicaal leiderschap in publieke dienst

Radical leadership in public service

This essay aims to examine leadership questions from the perspective of practical wisdom, a classic concept from the philosophical tradition. Erik Pool’s argument is based on a combination of subjective experience and objectified knowledge from forty years of personal and professional development. Because this lays the foundation for this story, he first briefly explains the professional paths along which he came to understand how Pool knows how to get things done. Particularly in his government work, he came across public leadership in three guises. They bear the traces of the heavy weather through which the Ship of State had to be piloted, which he sketches with a few brushstrokes but, despite that light touch, still appears very heavy. The urgency and weight characterise public leadership, which Erik Pool further explains with five crucial ‘capabilities’: (1) act when you have to (‘kairos’); (2) reflective capacity (‘eidos’-’skopea’); (3) learning ability (‘gnosis’); (4) justice (‘dikaiosunè’); and (5) practical wisdom (‘phronesis’). This essay ends with a plea for justice as a building block for ‘practical wisdom’, with which public leaders can raise their moral and material capacity to act. A society will not become heaven on earth, but a vital democratic constitutional state should at least be the ambitious and honourable commitment of ‘radical leadership in public service’.

The Canon of Participation: in 27 windows through Dutch participation history – Part 1

The Canon of Participation shows the development of participation in 27 illustrative and sometimes iconic stories. This shows how participation is a common thread through our political-administrative history. The canon looks at the context in which participation professionals now work from a government perspective. We walk through history in seven-league boots. From the stories of the past, we always learn lessons for the future. This issue discusses the first fourteen windows. The next issue of this journal will present the remaining thirteen windows. This is an adaptation of the Canon of Participation, which can be found at www.kennisknooppuntparticipatie.nl/canon. The online version of the canon contains more extensive descriptions, interpretation, background information, illustrations and source references. And there people can also respond to the canon, because just like participation itself, the canon is never fully developed. The canon was commissioned by the Knowledge Exchange Participation of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

Amaç: Pnömotoraks; viseral ve paryetal plevra katmanları arasında serbest hava olmasıdır. Primer spontan pnömotoraks daha

çok gençlerde görülürken; sekonder spontan pnömotoraks daha çok yaşlı (yaş>55) nüfusta gözlenir. Pnömotoraks tedavisinde hedef

plevral boşlukta bulunan havanın çıkarılması ve tekrar pnömotoraks oluşmamasıdır. Yeni korona virüs hastalığı 2019’un (COVID-19) akciğerde yarattığı etkiler nedeniyle spontan pnömotoraks riskini arttırması beklenir. COVID-19 ile ilişkili bildirilen pnömotoraks vakalarının çoğunda geleneksel risk faktörleri veya altta yatan predispozan akciğer hastalığı yoktur. Bu çalışmanın amacı;

COVID-19 un spontan pnömotoraks ile ilişkisini değerlendirmek ve sonraki çalışmalara ışık tutmaktır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: 12 Mart 2017 ile 12 Mart 2023 tarihleri arasında Kayseri Şehir Hastanesi ne başvuran Spontan Pnömotoraks

tanısı alan hastalar retrospektif olarak medikal hastane kayıtları üzerinden tarandı. Hastalar yaş, cinsiyet, primer ve sekonder pnömotoraks olması, sigara içimi, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ), uygulanan tedavi, hastanede kalış süresi, COVID-19 PCR pozitifliği, nüks

kriterleri üzerinden değerlendirildi. COVID-19 öncesi ve sonrası bu kriterler üzerinden karşılaştırıldı.

Bulgular: COVID-19 öncesi başvuran 160 hasta, COVID-19 sonrası başvuran 138 hasta tespit edildi. COVID-19 öncesi başvuran

hastaların 140’ı (%87) erkek, 20’si (%13) kadındı. COVID-19 sonrası başvuran 138 hastanın 124’ü (%89) erkek, 14’ü (%11) ise

kadındı. Hastaların yaş ortalamalarına bakıldığında COVID-19 öncesi yaş ortalaması 25, COVID-19 sonrası ise 28 idi. COVID-19

öncesi başvuran 160 hastanın 111’i (%69) primer spontan pnömotoraks, 49’u (%31) ise sekonder spontan pnömotoraks olarak

bulundu. COVID-19 sonrası ise 138 hastanın 108’i (%78) primer spontan pnömotoraks, 30’u (%22) sekonder spontan pnömotoraks idi.

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak COVID-19 akciğerlerde kronik inflamasyon ve fibrozisin yanı sıra bül ve bleb oluşumu nedeniyle de spontan

pnömotoraks riskini arttırmaktadır. COVID-19 ve spontan pnömotoraks patofizyolojisi net aydınlatılamamıştır. Bu çalışma bu alanda daha sonra yapılacak çalışmalara önayak olacaktır.
