Authors: Shariyeh Hosseininasab  , Shazia Hanif  , Usman Sami  , Fahimeh Arman
Published: December 2024

Kharanaq Fort, a historic castle in Yazd, Iran, stands as a testament to the adaptive evolution of spatial organization shaped by centuries of socio-cultural transformation. This study aims to identify the impact of socio-cultural configuration of the community on the formation of the physical structure and the spatial organization of the fortress of Kharanaq village. From this perspective, the study questions whether social construct, cultural patterns and financial conditions have been effective in shaping the physical character of the fort or not, and if so, to what extent it has influenced the architectural characteristic of the fort; A fort that, in addition to its long history, it is also considered as one of the few completely inhabited forts (without a governing system) in Yazd and even Iran. The aim of this research is to introduce a unique example of vernacular architecture in Iran and delve into its deeper socio-cultural context, while addressing the mutual influence of the residents' socio-cultural behaviours and beliefs on the spatial organisation and the architectural characteristics of the fort. The data presented in this study is the result of extensive field works and visits of the village and the fort as well as, historical recourses available about the fort. Drawing on insights from archaeological excavations, field research, historical studies, and critical analysis of available texts, this article concludes that the fort's physical structure—shaped historically through a coherent design centred around a core nucleus—was essentially influenced by underlying social, cultural, and religious principles. Therefore, fully understanding its architecture requires a deep awareness of these guiding concepts, as the physical and conceptual elements are inseparably intertwined.

Authors: Chirvase Valentina , Ungureanu Cristian
Published: December 2024

Various meanings of competence can be found in the specialized literature. Guțu Vl. (2023) defines it as ,,an integrated system of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, acquired, formed, and developed through learning, whose mobilization allows the identification and resolution of various problems in various contexts and situations”; ,,purpose, as a projected objective and as a learning objective”; ,,intellectual capacity with various transfer possibilities (capacity to communicate, decide, detect, select, evaluate data, information, relationships), a capacity that associates affective and attitudinal components, motivating action”. Since the emphasis in higher education is on the formation of competent specialists, on the formation and development of competence as a quality of personality (Șevciuc M., 2007), the visual arts teacher, through good training, will contribute to the beautiful growth of students – forming the ,,person of tomorrow” (Berger G., 1973). The study programs, generous both through the variety of specialties and through the psycho-pedagogical training module, give confidence to young visual arts graduates to register and participate in the final exam, thus certifying the skills acquired in the initial training.

Sustainable development in mining "Asarel-Medet" JSC: The Bulgarian mining representative in international research projects AGEMERA project: Critical raw materials
Authors: Ivanov Desislav , Peytcheva Irena , Holma Marko
Published: December 2024

Asarel-Medet JSC Mining and Processing Complex is the first, biggest and leading Bulgarian company for open pit mining and processing of copper and other types of ores. Asarel-Medet JSC is the only Bulgarian company that participates in the international research project AGEMERA to study the potential of Europe regarding critical raw materials for the green transition. The supply of European critical raw materials (CRMs) does not currently meet the European demand. This gap is predicted to increase, making Europe even more dependent on outside suppliers. AGEMERA is a project to help tackle this strategic problem by studying several CRM sites in Finland, Poland, Spain, the Balkans, and Zambia in different deposit types. To check the potential of the porphyry systems in Europe as a source of CRMs, the Asarel porphyry-Cu deposit was selected as a test site. Here we present preliminary geochemical and mineral chemistry data for hydrothermal ore and alteration minerals in Asarel that reveal the potential of the deposit to source some CRMs as by-products. Further studies will combine the geochemical data with innovative geophysical methods for an improved deposit model and provide enhanced knowledge about effective exploration techniques for CRMs.
Analysis of the safety factors of the floors of the internal landfill FIELD B/C in the function of opening FIELD E in MB KOLUBARA
Authors: Petrović Branko
Published: December 2024

During 2006, the internal landfill FIELD B/C - MB KOLUBARA was destroyed, so the process of coal mining in that part of MB KOLUBARA was prevented. Unsuccessful rehabilitation of that area was a big problem during coal mining from that mine, which caused the displacement of the tailing systems from that zone and their transfer to the area of the internal landfill FIELD D. However, even after 17 years, the landfill has not been rehabilitated and fully put into operation, so the problem with overburden disposal is still current. The internal landfill FIELD B/C represents the space intended for the disposal of overburden from FIELD E, so that the coal from FIELD E could be excavated without any difficulty. Without permanent and successful rehabilitation of the internal landfill FIELD B/C, there will be no opening of FIELD E, which will certainly have a negative impact on the Serbian energy security.
The impact of improving the ventilation system on the physical parameters of underground mine air and comfort conditions
Authors: Jovičić Toma , Đorđević Dejan , Popović Ognjen
Published: December 2024

The task of mine ventilation involves the constant exchange of air within the mine construction through continuous flow, primarily aimed at providing conforming conditions suitable for work and diluting the concentration of suffocating, toxic, explosive gases, and dust, while transporting them to the surface. Intensification of production in underground mines, which results in an increase in diesel-powered work units, an increase in the number of employees, and deepening the mine, creates a demand for larger quantities of fresh air. In most cases, this is provided by installing increasingly larger main mine fans. This paper will present an analysis of the achieved results of improving the ventilation system in a polymetallic underground mine of lead, zinc, gold, and silver. The analysis will address the physical parameters of the air, such as flow, velocity, temperature, and relative humidity.

Published: December 2024

In the time of crisis caused by the current geopolitical situation, it is confirmed that fossil fuels represent the strategic potential of every country. Many countries in the world, as is known, in order to reduce CO2 emissions, have based the production of electricity on the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy; wind energy and biomass. However, due to economic reasons such as required large investments, and also due to the already existing thermal power capacities and the existing raw material base, coal still plays a dominant role in the Balkan countries. In the process of transition to renewable sources, the need for continuous supply of this mineral raw material is more than obvious, and it is surely getting close to its peak use. First of all, for financial reasons, but also as a function of time, we need resources that can be reached as cheaply and quickly as possible.
Valorization of mineral raw materials from man-made deposits at the Kovin mine
Authors: Filipov Ivan
Published: December 2024

The Kovin mine exploits two mineral raw materials: coal and gravel. Tailings from the process of coal production, that is, tailings from the process of digging overburden and gravel, are deposited in separate landfills. At the Kovin mine, a whole series of procedures are undertaken in order to maximize the valorization of mineral raw materials. By processing the material from the coal tailings, the production increased by 20%, and in the following period, the subsequent processing of the tailings from the gravel excavation process is planned. By increasing the mass and thermal utilization of coal, the mine's income increases and the amount of waste decreases.
Trbovlje-Hrastnik mine after closure: Utilisation of geothermal energy
Authors: Vukelić Željko , Šporin Jurij
Published: December 2024

Underground mines, which are often located close to urban settlements, or settlements located above the mines, which were created during the development of the mine, can already serve as a useful energy source in terms of the utilisation of geothermal energy during operation and especially after the end of operation. This paper presents the possibility of utilising geothermal energy from water and ground sources from the rehabilitated underground spaces of the Trbovlje - Hrastnik (RTH) mine. In the RTH area, there is great energy potential in the utilisation of underground water and heat from the ground. The utilisation of geothermal energy with heat pumps from groundwater (water/water system) and from ground collectors and wells up to a depth of 150 m (rock/water system) is shown. With the water/water system, an average of 2.7 MW of thermal energy is available; with the rock/water system, 7.5 kW of thermal energy is available from a 150 m deep well. With the rock/water system in particular, the development of the industrial zone in the RTH area can also cover a higher demand for thermal energy by increasing the number of collection points. The thermal energy obtained in this way is utilised via heat pumps to heat/cool commercial, residential and industrial buildings. This type of utilisation of geothermal energy contributes to carbon neutrality, as the use of geothermal energy has no negative impact on the environment and does not cause any greenhouse gas emissions. The advantages of this type of utilisation of an abandoned mine lie primarily in the location of the energy plant, which is relatively close to the consumers and does not pollute the environment through its operation, but at the same time, due to the need to maintain certain mining facilities, it offers regular monitoring of the condition of abandoned underground facilities.
Application of SAG mill-ball mill grinding systems in copper mines of Eastern Serbia
Authors: Jovanović Ivana , Svrkota Ivan , Conić Vesna
Published: December 2024

The current trend in comminution energy consumption shows an increasingly upward projection, which is likely to escalate into the future due to the need to grind ores, which are rapidly becoming low-grade and fine-grained, finer for liberation. Among the higher capacity unit technologies for grinding, SAG mill grinding has proven over the years to be an attractive and preferred technology and highly effective for grinding ore in a concentrator. The major acknowledged advantage of SAG mills is the massive throughput that can be achieved through a single unit. The ability to accept feed of up to 300 mm eliminates the need for crushing beyond the primary crusher. In recent years, copper mines in Serbia also followed a trend of moving from conventional to more innovative crushing and grinding processes. This paper presents the basic characteristics of a typical SAG mill, its application in grinding circuits, and in more detail, emphasizes new technological schemes of grinding, and operating characteristics of SAG mills installed in Čukaru Peki, Veliki Krivelj and Majdanpek copper mines in Eastern Serbia.

Authors: Petković-Papalazarou Sandra , Isailović Jelena , Đerisilo Jasna , Mitrašinović Aleksandar , Bubanja Aleksandar
Published: December 2024

Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) technologies play a pivotal role in mitigating environmental pollution stemming from coal-fired power plants, with wet limestone FGD standing out for its high desulphurisation performance and cost-effectiveness. The urgent need to reduce SO2 emissions underscores the significance of wet limestone FGD systems, which have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in mitigating these emissions while maintaining relatively low operating costs. Flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGDG) is a by-product of the flue gas desulfurization process in coal-fired power plants. Its chemical and physical properties make it suitable for various applications. However, despite its increasing production, its beneficial usage has declined over the past decade due to the presence of hazardous elements like arsenic, mercury, cadmium, lead, and selenium. Recent advancements in flue gas desulfurization technology have led to a reduction in these elements in "modern" FGDG, making it more attractive for reuse in other products. This paper presents results from a new FGD plant meeting guaranteed values and explores novel and traditional FGDG applications with minimal environmental impact. The quality of the by-product gypsum, wastewater, and disposal gypsum was meticulously analyzed at the flue gas desulfurization plant situated at TPP 'Nikola Tesla A', on units DC2 and DC1. Specifically, the paper discusses the recycling of FGD gypsum for the removal of Pb(II), Cd(II) and other hazardous trace elements from wastewater. By highlighting these applications and addressing research gaps, the aim is to promote greater reuse of FGDG and mitigate environmental concerns.

Authors: Anđelković Veselin , Nešković Jasmina , Kostović Nebojša
Published: December 2024

Resolving the problem of delayed material dispersion at ash and slag landfills using a water mirror (lake) has created another issue during material deposition due to the formation of a large water mirror surface and the considerable depth of the lake itself. The dense hydraulic mixture encounters an obstacle upon contact with the water mirror at the landfill, resulting in uneven filling of the underwater space and the formation of significant depth within the lake. One of the solutions to such problems is presented in this paper, using the example of the ash and slag landfill of the Nikola Tesla "B" Thermal Power Plant (TENT B), which involves the installation of a movable floating discharge pipeline across the surface of the lake.

Published: December 2024

The transition to green energy and sustainable operations poses a key challenge for the mining industry, which has traditionally been known for its negative environmental impact. This manuscript researches the concept of the "green transition" in mining, focusing on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in methodological support for environmental restoration. The aim is to identify and analyze technological and methodological innovations that can facilitate the shift of mining operations towards more environmentally sustainable practices. The current challenges in the mining industry are analyzed, including carbon dioxide emissions, water pollution, and land degradation. Successful green transition projects in mining are presented, highlighting how the use of renewable energy sources and material recycling can reduce the environmental footprint of mining activities. The role of artificial intelligence in supporting these efforts is important. AI technologies, including machine learning and data analytics, can significantly enhance environmental monitoring and management processes. Specific examples of AI applications in predicting environmental risks are presented, optimizing resource use, and developing strategies for ecosystem restoration. AI algorithms enable more precise and efficient pollution monitoring, identification of optimal restoration sites, and assessment of the long-term effects of mining activities on the environment. Integration of AI into the mining industry can not only improve environmental performance but also contribute to economic benefits through cost reduction and increased efficiency. This paper emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary approach that includes collaboration between managers, engineers, ecologists, and AI experts to achieve sustainable development goals. Further research and investment in these areas are crucial for the successful green transition of the mining industry and the long-term preservation of the environment. This research contributes to the understanding of the potential of green transition in mining and the role of AI in achieving sustainable environmental solutions, providing a foundation for future studies and practical applications.

Authors: Farkaš Branimir , Hrastov Ana , Štefičar Iva
Published: December 2024

To mitigate risks to human health, environmental integrity, biodiversity, and property, the reclamation of mining sites is imperative. The previous Mining Act delineated two categories of reclamation: planned reclamation, conducted concurrently with mining operations, and unplanned reclamation, executed when planned reclamation was neglected or when unauthorized exploitation of mineral resources occurred. The revised Mining Act integrates inactive mining sites into the reclamation framework. These sites are characterized by the permanent cessation of mining activities without adequate safety measures to safeguard human health, property, biodiversity, and environmental quality, and they remain listed in the Register of Mining Sites. For inactive mining sites, two reclamation strategies are outlined: reclamation without exploitation and reclamation with exploitation. This study scrutinizes the inactive mining sites of solid mineral resources in the Republic of Croatia, as documented in the Unified Information System of Mineral Resources. Additionally, an overview of the updated Mining Act is presented, highlighting the newly established reclamation protocols for inactive mining sites and outlining the requisite procedures for their implementation.

The paper discussed the current research on the applicability of biosorbents for the purification of biogas, particularly the decrease of H2S by using encapsulated or embedded biological biomass. This study investigated the potential of alginate-yeast biosorbent (AlgY) for biogas purification, focusing on hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal. A biogas column test was conducted to compare the biosorption efficiency of AlgY and pure alginate beads. Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), the effects of column length, acquisition time, and biosorbent type were evaluated for CH4, CO2, and H2S removal. Results depicted significant H2S reduction, with AlgY achieving a p-value of < 0.0001 and a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9518). The relatively high correlation coefficient (R2) of the tested quadratic model of all the responses were recorded (R2; 0.5560, 0.5048, and 0.9518 for CH4, CO2, and H2S respectively). According to the studies’ preliminary findings, the type of biosorbent has a significant role in determining the biosorption effectiveness. The ANOVA of model terms depicted a significant p-value (p < 0.05) indicated a potential alginate-yeast (AlgY) biosorbent for H2S purification or reduction.

This article discusses a number of important issues regarding the implementation of secret investigative activities. Secret investigative operations, as operations carried out during pre-trial proceedings, have specific tasks aimed at detection and prevention of crimes, collection of evidence and identification of the person who committed the crime. In the legal and linguistic sense, “covert” means a secret, non-public, inconspicuous practice, the purpose of which is to provide evidence necessary for the investigator’s actions. The probative value of secret investigative operations is largely determined by the protection of the guarantees provided by law during their implementation. Compliance of national legislation with international standards is essential to ensure the legality of covert investigative activities. The position of the European Court of Human Rights on this issue emphasizes that the competent authorities of the states can carry out secret operations to ensure the protection of public safety, but there must always be clear and effective guarantees for the protection of human rights. The guarantees established by the state for the implementation of secret investigative activities are intended to exclude human rights violations, possible interferences and abuses. For example, according to Article 243 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Armenia, secret investigative actions are carried out based on a court order and only in the event that gathering evidence by other means is impossible. In the case of conducting secret investigative activities, priority is given to the proportionality of the interference with personal data and the protection of private life and fundamental rights. The legislation of Armenia also sets clear restrictions on the scope of persons against whom secret actions can be carried out, including with the permission of the court. The author concludes that secret investigative actions, being an independent type of state activity carried out by law enforcement agencies within the scope of the functions assigned to them by law, are subject to implementation in accordance with the nature of that activity, its purpose and the legality conditions set by the legislation, always guaranteeing a fair balance between the public interest and the rights of the individual.

Provocation of a crime is a phenomenon that has its own place in criminal law, and even in the conditions of rich experience formed around it, in legislations, judicial precedents, doctrines of different countries, has various, often contradictory manifestations.

It is noteworthy that the current RA Criminal Code, adopted on May 5, 2021, did not leave out the provisions on the provocation of the crime, as a result of which new horizons were created for the development of the law in this regard and for carrying out further work on targeted application in practical terms.

An integral part of the theoretical and practical legal base formed around the provocation of a crime is also the reflections of the phenomenon discussed in the circumstances excluding criminal responsibility, exempting from criminal responsibility and mitigating criminal responsibility or punishment, which are correlated with other categories known in criminal law, making the research of the selected topic relevant.

In that context, in order to improve the legal regulation of crime provocation by intertwining the legal regulations of domestic and foreign countries, the positions expressed in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, the Cassation court of RA and the legal theses in a number of theoretical doctrines, it is necessary to highlight the possible gaps and from the point of view of their solution. to come up with scientifically substantiated conclusions and proposals, which are precisely the goals of the chosen topic.

As a result of the work done, with the implementation of the above-mentioned goals, it was possible to show the problems that exist in various criminal law aspects within the framework of the topic, while coming up with appropriate documentation and proposals aimed at solving the existing problems, including legislative amendments and additions, thus adding to the results of the work done theoretically and conveying high importance in practical terms.

Currently, the rapid development of the latest biomedical technologies puts on the agenda the need for their proper legislative regulation. One of these technologies is human cloning, which raises a number of ethical and legal issues. Unfortunately, at present, the criminal legislation of the Republic of Armenia, unlike the legislation of a number of foreign countries, provides for criminal liability only for reproductive cloning, thereby leaving therapeutic cloning outside the scope of criminal protection. In this article, based on the analysis of international legal acts regulating cloning issues, studying the positive foreign experience of legislative regulation, the authors attempt to analyze cloning and present their vision of its criminal legal regulation. In connection with the above, the authors raise the issue of insufficient criminal law regulation of the ethical and legal aspects of cloning. In particular, noting the importance of observing the principle of protecting human dignity, the authors point to the expediency of criminalization and therapeutic cloning, in which the obtained embryonic stem cells are used for the purpose of reproduction and cultivation of new organs. The authors point out the inadmissibility of the destruction of the embryo and its use for any purpose.

Authors: Shrestha Bikesh , Poudel Chandra Mani , Gajurel Ratna Mani
Published: December 2024

Introduction Heart failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with annual mortality of  8-9%. Acute heart failure patients require frequent Emergency Department visits and hospitalization.Emergency Heart Failure Mortality Risk Grade (EHMRG) score helps to risk stratify such patients. We aimed to study its performance at a tertiary care centre in Nepal.
MethodsThis is an analytical, study involving 175 acute heart failure patients admitted at Emergency department over 1 year. The score was calculated for each patient and they were followed up for 30 days post discharge for readmission. The primary outcome studied was 7 day mortality.
ResultsThe median age was 66 years with 94 (53.7%) of the patients being male. Ischemic (38.3%) and dilated (25.1%) cardiomyopathies were the most common etiologies. Twenty seven (15.3%) of the patients required re-hospitalization within 1 month.There was statistically significant association (p<0.001) between 7-day mortality and high EHMRG scores (Class 5 and 4). No 7-day mortality was observed in the very low, low, and intermediate-risk groups. In the high-risk group (Class 4), 1 patient died while 15 survived. In the very high-risk group (Class 5), 29 patients died compared to 45 who survived.
ConclusionMortality within 7 days and readmission rates were higher in patients with high EHMRG scores. No mortalitites were encountered in patients with low scores. EHMRG can be a valuable tool to stratify acute heart failure patients as it can identify patients with high risk of 7 day mortality. It can help physician in deciding whether to discharge or admit the patients from Emergency rooms.
