This study discusses the social values ??of the Samin people in the village of Larikrejo which aims to (1) find out the factors that cause the Samin people to stick to their values ??and traditions, (2) find out the social values ??of the Samin tribe and (3) find out the values ??and the traditions of the Samin people in terms of everyday life. In this study, researchers used ethnographic research methods. The ethnographic method is a method used to describe things related to the Samin community in depth. In this study, it shows that social values ??between the Samin people and the surrounding community are in the form of cooperation and interaction, this form of interaction, both the Samin tribe and the community in general, often cooperate in terms of mutual cooperation between members of the community, for example mutual cooperation in building residents' houses in splice system. In social interaction between the Samin community and the surrounding community, it is influenced by several factors, namely the social situation, the power of group norms, personal goals, position and individual conditions and finding situations. The obstacles faced in social interaction between the Samin community and the surrounding community are language differences that are difficult for the surrounding community to understand and the difference in values ??between the two social groups.

Authors: Maulana Ardan , Restiati Ina Wea Novita
Published: September 2023

Jepang dikenal memiliki beragam tradisi dan budaya yang menarik bagi para wisatawan lokal maupun internasional, salah satu yang cukup terkenal adalah budaya berendam menggunakan air panas. Beberapa aktivitas berendam di air panas antara lain masuk ke ofuro (bak mandi milik pribadi), sento (pemandian air panas umum), dan onsen (pemandian air panas dari sumber mata air alami). Seiring perkembangan zaman dan kebutuhan terhadap onsen, maka onsen juga dapat ditemui di mayoritas ryokan (penginapan dengan fasilitas dan arsitektur Jepang) ataupun SPA yang ada di seluruh wilayah di Jepang. SPA adalah salah satu produk wisata yang menawarkan pengalam rileksasi dalam harmonisasi efek yaitu “wellbeing for body, mind, and spirit”. Kata SPA merupakan singkatan bahasa Latin yaitu Solum per Aqua yang berarti kesehatan yang dapat disalurkan dengan tenaga air. Namun demikian, SPA di Bali tampil berbeda dengan menampilkan massage (pijitan), aromaterapi, dan keindahan alam daerah tropis sebagai branding-nya. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali potensi budaya onsen yang bermanfaat untuk pengembangan SPA di Bali, khususnya untuk meningkatkan kunjungan wisatawan Jepang ke Bali. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskripsi kualitatif dan studi kepustakaan. Sedangkan proses analisis data yang digunakan adalah reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa budaya onsen dapat menjadi potensi pengembangan SPA di Bali, yaitu dengan menjadikan air sebagai daya tarik, baik berupa ketersediaan pemandian air panas buatan, sauna, pasir panas, kolam lumpur panas, atau treatment pijat menggunakan air.

Gingivitis is defined as inflammation of the gingival tissue, generally a response to bacterial plaque. The purpose of writing this case is to find out how to diagnose, treat, and treat gingivitis in cats caused by dental plaque. The case of a domestic cat named Betty was a 5 year old female with a body weight of 2.5 kg, had hair of a mixed color of 3 colors with complaints of hypersalivation, protruding tongue that could not be inserted, bad breath, and inflammation of the gums (mucositis). Illness has occurred and recovered but experienced recurrence with the same symptoms until now. The results of the hematological examination showed lymphocytosis and physical examination in the mouth area found hypersalivation, on the mucosa and digestive system (mouth) which experienced swelling and inflammation of the gums, the left and right mandibular lymph nodes were abnormal, namely experiencing enlargement and discomfort when touched by the mouth area. The therapy given to animals with anti-inflammatory cases is the recommended dose of Dexamethasone 0.5 mg/kg BW in the form of tablets given every 24 hours once a day, for 5 days and Prednisone 5 mg/kg BW is given for 2-4 weeks, the dose is reduced slowly . Supportive therapy is given vitamin C. Animals experience positive changes and are advised to carry out routine scaling and replace dry food to treat dental plaque in cats. After giving therapy for a week and scaling the dental plaque, hypersalivation began to decrease and the ulcers on the mucosa began to shrink.

Published: September 2023

Строительство Китайско-Восточной железной дороги и основание Харбина обусловили особое значение этого города в российско-китайских отношениях, еще более усилившихся в ходе Гражданской войны в России и после ее окончания. Разнообразные аспекты этих отношений можно проанализировать на примере первоклассной харбинской гостиницы «Модерн». Ее владельцам удалось первыми воплотить в жизнь идею создания развлекательно-гостиничного комплекса, где обслуживание органично сочетается с возможностями культурного досуга и приобщением населения к искусству. Построенный по инициативе российских предпринимателей, «Модерн» стал символом межкультурной коммуникации в многонациональном городе. Готовность к ней он транслировал языком архитектуры, кулинарии, театра и кинематографа. Авторы вводят понятие архитектурного языка самого здания, представляющего большую художественную ценность, дают краткую характеристику кулинарному языку «Модерна», в котором традиции китайской кухни органично сочетались с европейскими технологиями, анализируют репертуар. На подмостках «Модерна» встречались европейская (российская) и китайская культуры, выступали как самодеятельные исполнители, так и выдающиеся артисты, про-ходили важные политические переговоры. «Модерн» и сегодня играет важную роль в деловой и культурной жизни Китая. Книга основана на материалах российских, китайских и американских архивов и библиотек, а также на результатах полевых исследований авторов.

Authors: Yuliana  , Agus Munandar
Published: September 2023

The goal of this study is to look at how debt covenant, political cost, political connection, and bank connections affect company value. The research used secondary data with completed financial reports from 24 public companies or 120 data in the banking sector that met purposive sampling criteria over five years (2017 to 2021). The research found that debt covenant and bank holder connection (the second form of bank connection) have a negative effect on company value. Meanwhile, political cost, political association and shareholder connection (the third form of bank connection) positively impact company value. At the same time, executive connection (the first bank connection) did not affect company value. At the same time, it was discovered that debt covenant, political cost, political connections, and three types of bank connections all impacted company value.

Introduction: Tropaeolum tuberosum, known as "mashua" is an Andean tuber that has both economic and nutritional value for low-income populations. It is believed that it affects male fertility because Andean men associate it with impotence and decreased fertilizing capacity. Studies done on rats fed mashua showed that there was a 45% decrease in the testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio. The effect of this plant on reproduction is related to its content of isothiocyanates, compounds that bind covalently to proteins, which may be directly or indirectly involved in the spermatogenic process. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effect of the aqueous extract of "mashua" on spermatogenesis and reproductive physiology of mice. Methodology: tThe in vivo morphofunctional parameters of mouse sperm (spermatogram) were evaluated and the expression of: Cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase, protein that regulates acute steroidogenesis, Cyclin cyclin and Pprotamine, related to spermatogenesis, was quantified. Results: The results indicated that Aat 7, 14 and 21 days of dosing, the sperm count is affected, as well as their progressive motility (PM);, on the other hand, a delay in their maturation was observed. Regarding gene expression, no significant differences were found between the expression of the two genes studied (cCytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase, cCyclin), Conclusion: Tthe effect of "mashua " does not occur at the level of the expression of the genes involved in spermatogenesis, but at the level of its functions as a protein.

The relevance of the problem under study lies in the fact that in the modern world the political situation is constantly changing, and this affects the reputational capital of the regions and the authorities of the Russian Federation. Reputational capital is the totality of knowledge, experience and expectations associated with a region and its economic activity. It can be positive or negative and has a significant impact on various aspects of the development of the regional economy. Reputation capital plays an important role in the socio-economic development of the regional economy. The goal is to study the transformation of the reputational capital of regions and authorities in the context of a changing political situation in the world. In this article, a semantic matrix of definitions of domestic and foreign researchers has been compiled, one of the important factors (political culture) that influences the formation of the region’s reputational capital has been studied, a rating of the heads of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation has been formed, and positive and negative properties of the heads of regional authorities have been determined. Also, new directions for the formation of the reputational capital of the regions in the context of a special military operation have been identified. Key words: reputational capital of the region, reputational capital of the Russian Federation, socio-economic development, political culture, region and government of the Russian Federation, companies and regions, image of the region, brand of the region, investment attractiveness of the region.
TO THE ISSUE OF LIMITING THE AMPLITUDE OF MASS OSCILLATIONS IN THE INERTIAL VIBROACTIVE FORCES COMPENSATOR

The paper considers transient processes in an active vibration isolation system, which consists of an elastically suspended vibroactive unit and an electrodynamic actuator mounted on the housing near the unit. The actuator, due to controlled vibrations of the moving mass, creates inertial forces in antiphase with the vibroactive forces transmitted to the body from the elastically suspended unit. It is shown that in the steady state, by choosing the gain in the automatic control system of the actuator, it is possible to reduce the force transfer to the housing by 20-40 dB in the low frequency range, including at the resonant frequency of the passive system (vibro-active mass with elastic-dissipative supports) .With a large gain, which ensures the effectiveness of vibra-tion isolation at low frequencies when the system is put into operation during a sufficiently long transient pro-cess, the displacement of the mass of the actuator may exceed the design limits. In this case, the principle of inertial compensation is violated, and the system may not reach the stationary mode. In this paper, the option of changing the gain from 0 to the maximum value according to a linear law for a given time has been studied and it has been shown that in this case the displacement of the actuator mass does not go beyond the design limits and the system steadily reaches the stationary mode.

The article considers an important technological task, since the values of technological dimensions with deviations are entered directly into the technological documentation, and the values of minimum allowances are provided indirectly. The calculated values are necessary information when designing the machining technology. Rational values of operational dimensions are automatically guaranteed only by conducting dimensional analysis based on the theory of dimensional chains. A comparative study of two methods for determining operational dimensions during machining based on dimensional analysis – manual based on the methodology of B.S. Mordvinov and using the program of B.S. Mordvinov RLR. It is concluded that it is possible to guarantee the required design dimensions and tolerances and to establish the causes of defects during machining.

Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Omsk, Russia, Andreeva E. G.
Published: September 2023

The use of fossil fuels for thermal power plants from the point of view of ecology leads to an increase in the amount of wastewater contaminated with petroleum products and coal dust. Thus, there is a problem of wastewater treatment. Water purification of this type includes the use of chemical (settling, flotation, sorption) and magnetic methods. Currently, an urgent problem of power plants and thermal power plants is not only the treatment of wastewater from petroleum products, but also their disposal. The purpose of this work was to study and calculate magnetic systems for wastewater treatment from solid and liquid impurities in relation to power plants and thermal power plants.

Currently, lead-acid batteries are widely used in uninterruptible and emergency power systems, which may include dozens or even hundreds of individual batteries. In order to increase the reliability and simplify the process of diagnostics of such systems, it is proposed to use the method of monitoring the internal impedance of batteries in a certain frequency band in conjunction with the control of open circuit voltage. The pa-per presents the results of experimental studies of the dependence of the total resistance of lead-acid batteries on the degree of residual charge, as well as the conclusions obtained in the analysis of experimental data.
Predictive factors for pin sites infection in external fixation of open tibia fractures
Authors: Olasinde Anthony A. , Jones Gbenga Eyitayo
Published: September 2023

Objectives:

External fixation is a readily available fixation method for some open tibia fracture grades. Pin site infection (PSI) is a common complication that leads to pin loosening and osteomyelitis. Understanding the predictive factor for PSI can reduce the incidence. This study aimed to determine the predictive factors for PSI in the external fixation of open tibia fractures.

Methods:

This was a prospective observational study. The biodemographic variables of the patient collected were age, sex, marital status, mechanism of injury, body mass index, number of pins inserted, pre-operative hematocrit, comorbidity, duration of the hospital stay, Gustilo/Andersen grades of open tibia fractures, and bacterial isolates among those with PSI.

Results:

Thirty patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study with a mean age of 45.9 years ± 17.7 with a male-to-female ratio of 3.3:1. Motor vehicle accidents and motorcycle/motor vehicle accidents were the predominant cause of injury in 56.7% of the patients. The incidence of PSI was 36.7%, with Staphylococcus aureus being the most common bacterial isolated at 81.8%. Only grades of open tibia fractures are the predictive factor for PSI (adjusted odds ratio 18.33, 95% confidence interval of 1.609–208.864, P = 0.019).

Conclusion:

The predictive factor that was statistically significantly associated with PSI in this study was the grades of the open tibia fractures.
A large mixed pattern aneurysmal bone cysts: An extremely rare case with unusual radiological findings and management sequela
Authors: Alsaqry Abdullah S. , Alshaya Osama S.
Published: September 2023

A mixed pattern of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) is an extremely rare anatomic subtype. Typical ABCs usually arise in the metaphysis of long bones, predominantly in childhood-age patients. Here, we report a case of a 37-year-old female presenting with the left leg pain and mass for 2 years. Conventional radiographs and computed tomography scans revealed a well-demarcated expansile lytic lesion at the diaphysis of the left tibia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed fluid-fluid levels with associated bone edema. These findings were suggestive of ABC. An open incisional biopsy was done and was confirmatory. After 8 months, the patient showed radiographic complete ossification of the lesion with persistent symptoms. Excision and intralesional curettage of the lesion was performed and supported with a tibia locking plate. On 18 months of follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic, with no recurrence observed on conventional radiographs.
Yeni Davranışsal İktisat, Metodolojik Bireycilik ve Toplumsalın Reddi
Authors: SOYLU Fatma Esra
Published: September 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı, iktisadi analizde yirminci yüzyılın sonlarına doğru ortaya çıkan yeni yaklaşımlardan olan yeni davranışsal iktisat yaklaşımına metodolojik olarak bir eleştiri sunmak ve bu eleştiri doğrultusunda bu yaklaşımın günümüz iktisadi problemlerinin toplumsal boyutunu ihmal etmesi sebebiyle başarılı bir yaklaşım olmaktan uzak olduğunu savunmaktır. Yeni davranışsal iktisat, Neoklasik iktisadın sert çekirdeği olan rasyonalite kavrayışına yönelttiği eleştirilerle, iktisadi gerçekliğin daha gerçekçi bir analizi için umut vadeden bir yaklaşım gibi görünmekteyse de ortodoksinin metodolojik çerçevesinde yer alan en problematik kısmı olan metodolojik bireycilik yaklaşımını miras olarak devralmış ve bir anlamda ortodoksi ile bağını tam olarak koparmamıştır. Metodolojik bireycilik yaklaşımı, tüm iktisadi analizi, iktisadi karar alma sürecine ve yalnızca temsili bireye indirgemektedir. Bu indirgemecilik ise iktisadi analizde sosyal yapının ihmali anlamına gelmektedir. Dolayısıyla yeni davranışsal iktisat, metodolojik yönelimi dolayısı ile yapısal iktisadi problemleri ıskalamaya devam etmektedir. İktisadi sistemin yapısal problemlerinin bireysel sorumluluklar haline getirildiği neoliberal evrede ortaya çıkan bu yeni yaklaşımın aynı zamanda neoliberal politika önerilerini meşrulaştırma görevi üstlendiği de aşikardır.
The Institutional Dimension of Public-Private Partnerships: Governance
Authors: ÜNALAN KARAKUŞ Eda
Published: September 2023

Failure to realize governance objectives is considered to be one of the reasons why public-private partnerships have become increasingly controversial and why there have been many negative experiences during the project process. This study examines the relationship between public-private partnerships and governance. In the framework pioneered by international organizations and accepted in the literature, it is possible to eliminate many problems experienced in public-private partnership projects by implementing governance principles. On the other hand, although there are many discussions in the literature on the conceptual basis of governance, there are no studies that address these conceptual debates within the framework of public-private partnerships. It is thought that this deficiency in the literature will also leave the discussions on the present and future of the relationship between public-private partnerships and governance incomplete. The originality of this study is that it evaluates the concept of governance in public-private partnerships and its foundations based on the New Institutional Economics and New Public Management approaches. When the concept is considered together with its foundations, the question of whether governance principles can really be a solution to the problems of public-private partnerships becomes controversial. Although the focus of the study is not on this debate, it aims to open the door to further discussions on the subject.

Published: September 2023

The aim of the study is to examine the country-based concentration of exports of Türkiye and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) and export similarity to the European Union (EU) common market. Data were obtained from the International Trade Center Trademap database. In the study, according to the data of 2021, Türkiye and the first five countries in the export of BRICS are included. While the country-based concentration of Türkiye and BRICS for the period 2001-2021 was analyzed using the Gini-Hirschman Index (GHI), the Export Similarity Index (ESI) was used for export similarity to the EU common market. The results of the study show that while the product variety in Türkiye's exports to the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany has increased significantly over time, the product variety in exports to Italy and Spain shows a fluctuating course, according to the coefficient values calculated by the GHI method. While there was no major change in product diversity in BRICS exports to the USA, Japan and South Korea during the period under review, product diversity in exports to Hong Kong showed a fluctuating course, but product diversity decreased significantly in 2021. There is no radical change in product diversity in BRICS exports to China. The fact that the exports of Türkiye and BRICS to the EU market have an ESI value of 60.75 means that they are in competition in the relevant product groups and pose a threat to each other.
Sosyo-Kültürel ve Yapısal Faktörler Temelinde İşgücü Piyasasında Kadınların Ekonomik Güçlenme Süreci Önündeki Sorunları ve Nedenleri
Authors: ÖZÇATAL Elif    Özlem
Published: September 2023

Kadınların güçlenmesi, uluslararası/ulusal kurum ve kuruluşların kadınlara yönelik uygulanan sosyal politika ve projelerinde toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğini sağlamada önemli bir hedeftir. Kadınların işgücü piyasasına ve istihdama katılma yoluyla güçlenerek, eşitlik, özgürlük ve kendine yetme yeteneği kazanmasını ifade eden ekonomik güçlenme temel önemdedir. Kadınların ekonomik alan başta olmak üzere tüm diğer alanlarda güçlenmesinde eğitim en önemli belirleyicidir. Ancak günümüzde eğitim alanında cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin önemli ölçüde azalmasına karşın işgücüne katılma ve iş fırsatlarında bu eşitsizliğin hâlâ çok büyük olduğu görülmektedir. Bu durum kadınların işgücü piyasasına katılım yoluyla ekonomik güçlenmesinde sorunlarının farklı dinamiklerine işaret etmektedir. Bunlar, işgücü piyasasındaki sosyo-kültürel ve yapısal faktörlerin kadınlara dayattığı temel kısıtlamalardır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sosyo-kültürel ve yapısal faktörler temelinde işgücü piyasasında kadınların ekonomik güçlenme süreci önündeki sorunları nedenleriyle ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada elde edilen veriler, toplumsal cinsiyet temelli sosyokültürel normlar, işgücü piyasasının katmanlaşmış iş ayrımı yapısı, ücretsiz çalışmanın eşit olmayan yükü, yetersiz ve pahalı çocuk bakım hizmetleri gibi sosyo-kültürel ve yapısal sorunların kadınların ekonomik güçlenmesini engellediğini göstermiştir. Söz konusu bu sorunlar ekonomik güçlenmede önemli olan kadınların istihdama katılma ve iş tercihi kararlarında seçim yapma kapasitesini, özgürlüğünü ve özerkliğini sınırlamaktadır. Bu sorunların yol açtığı kısıtlılıklar çerçevesinde kadınların işgücü piyasasına erişimleri yetersiz kalmakta, işgücü piyasasında çalışma biçimleri ve koşulları olumsuz olmaktadır. Sosyo-kültürel ve yapısal engellerin varlığı yüzünden istihdama katılma, kadınlar için ekonomik güçlenme sağlamadığı gibi evdeki/toplumdaki güçsüzlüğünün istihdamda da devam etmesi durumunu getirmektedir. Kadını ekonomik güçlendirmeyi amaçlayan politikalarda, sadece kadınların eğitimlerini yükseltmek gibi tek bir hedefe odaklan(ıl)mamalıdır. Bu politikalarda aynı zamanda sosyo-kültürel ve yapısal faktörlerin de dikkate alınması, bu faktörlerin yol açtığı sorunları ortadan kaldırmak hedefine de yönelmesi kritik önemdedir.

Authors: Hasyim Andi Hasriadi , Amirzan  , Muhammad  , Humaedi  , Sujarwo
Published: September 2023

In athlete coaching, mental factors often receive less attention than physical factors, such as technique, tactics, and strategy. This study explored the use of hypnosis as a mental exercise in coaching volleyball athletes. This study was conducted on 20 PBVSI volleyball athletes in Pidie Regency using an experimental one-group pretest-posttest design and then tested their abilities using the American Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (AAHPERD) volleyball playing skills test. The collected data were analysed using inferential statistics (specifically the t-test) with SPSS 27 at the 0.05 level of significance. The results showed a significant improvement in volleyball playing skills after hypnosis training, indicating its potential application in athlete coaching. Hypnosis was found to significantly improve concentration, confidence, and emotional control among athletes—key elements that contributed to overall sports performance. However, limitations of this study include the small sample size and focus on one type of sport. Therefore, further research involving larger samples across different sports is recommended for wider generalisability. In addition, long-term studies are needed to assess the sustained effects of hypnosis over time. In conclusion, our preliminary findings underscore the potential benefits of integrating mental training techniques such as hypnosis into athletic training programmes to improve performance outcomes. These results highlight the importance of considering psychological aspects alongside physical aspects in athletic training.
Mechanistic rationale for ketene formation during vaping
Authors: Munger Kaelas , Anreise Killian , Jensen Robert , Peyton David , Strongin Robert
Published: September 2023

Ketene is one of the most toxic vaping emissions identified to date. However, its high reactivity renders it relatively challenging to identify. In addition, theoretical studies show that realistic vaping temperature settings are too low to produce ketene. Each of these issues is addressed herein. First, an isotopically-labeled acetate precursor is used for the identification of ketene with enhanced rigor in vaped aerosols. Second, discrepancies between theoretical and experimental findings are explained by accounting for the effects of aerobic (experimental) versus anaerobic (simulated and theoretical) pyrolysis conditions. This finding is also relevant to explaining the relatively low temperature production of aerosol toxicants beyond ketene. Moreover, the study herein shows that ketene formation during vaping is not limited to molecules possessing a phenyl acetate substructure. This means that ketene emission during vaping, including from popular flavorants such as ethyl acetate, may be more prevalent than is currently known.

Authors: Khan Shahid Ullah , Safdar Muhammad , Janis Janne
Published: September 2023

We demonstrate in detail the use of self-propelling manganese oxide (MnO2) microparticles for water remediation. The particles exhibit removal of organic dyestuff from water following chemical degradation and adsorptive bubble separation mechanisms. The effect of various parameters such as dye concentration, remediation time, quantity of MnO2 particles and fuel concentration is studied to determine optimal parameters for the assessment of their potential in practical applications. A combined effect of two efficient remediation mechanisms allow fast removal of organic dyes from water in ca. 2 min. A low cost, transient lifetime and environment friendly nature of MnO2 offers a high potential of dynamic water remediation tasks at remote waterbody locations.
Capturing the interactions in the BaSnF4 ionic conductor: comparison between a machine-learning potential and a polarizable force field
Authors: Lian Xiliang , Salanne Mathieu
Published: September 2023

BaSnF4 is a prospective solid state electrolyte for fluoride ion batteries. However, the diffusion mechanism of the fluoride ions remains difficult to study, both in experiments and in simulations. In principle, ab initio molecular dynamics could allow to fill this gap, but this method remains very costly from the computational point of view. Using machine learning potentials is a promising method that can potentially address the the accuracy issues of classical empirical potentials while maintaining high efficiency. In this work, we fitted a dipole polarizable ion model and trained machine learning potential for BaSnF4 and made comprehensive comparisons on the ease of training, accuracy and efficiency. We also compared the results with the case of a simpler ionic system (NaF). We show that contrarily to the latter, for BaSnF4 the machine learning potential offers much higher versatility. The current work lays foundations for the investigation of fluoride ion mobility in BaSnF4 and provides insight on the choice of methods for atomistic simulations.

Motivated by the drawbacks of solution phase processing, an all-dry resist formation process is presented that utilizes amorphous zinc-imidazolate (aZnMIm) films deposited by atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD), patterned with electron beam lithography (EBL), and developed by novel low temperature (120 °C) gas phase etching using 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone (hfacH) to achieve well-resolved 22 nm lines with a pitch of 30 nm. The effects of electron beam irradiation on the chemical structure and hfacH etch resistance of aZnMIm films are investigated, and it is found that electron irradiation degrades the 2-methylimidazolate ligands and transforms aZnMIm into a more dense material that is resistant to etching by hfacH and has a C:N:Zn ratio effectively identical to that of unmodified aZnMIm. These findings showcase the potential for aZnMIm films to function in a dry resist technology. Sensitivity, contrast, and critical dimensions of the patterns are determined to be 37 mC cm-2, 0.87, and 29 nm, respectively, for aZnMIm deposited on silicon substrates and patterned at 30 keV. This work introduces a new direction for solvent-free resist processing, offering the prospect of scalable, high-resolution patterning techniques for advanced semiconductor fabrication processes.
Local station correlation: large N-arrays and DAS

The use of cross-correlation between seismic stations has had widespread applications particularly in the exploitation of ambient seismic noise. We here show how the effects of a non-ideal noise distribution can be understood by looking directly at correlation properties and show how the behaviour can be readily visualised for both seismometer and DAS configurations, taking into account directivity effects.  For sources lying in a relatively narrow cone around the extension of the inter-station path, the dispersion properties of the correlation relate directly to the zone between the stations.  We illustrate the successful use of correlation analysis for both a large-N array perpendicular to a major highway and DAS cable along a busy road.  For correlation work, the co-array consisting of the ensemble of inter-station vectors provides an effective means of assessing the behaviour of array layouts, supplementing the standard plane-wave array response. When combined with knowledge of the suitable correlation zones for noise sources, the co-array concept provides a useful way to design array configurations for both seismometer arrays and DAS.

Introduction. The use of chrome plating as a method of restoring parts that work with waterjet wear is important for restoring the operability of hydraulic drive units and parts used in specialized vehicles and road construction equipment. The proposed method of chrome recovery has the necessary advantages, it is a sufficiently high performance and microhardness of the resulting chrome coatings. However, for implementation in production, additional studies of the reliability of the chrome coatings obtained, namely, adhesion strength and wear resistance, were required. This will make possible to draw conclusions about the prospects for further implementation and use for the restoration of hydraulic drive parts and other parts that work with waterjet wear.Materials and methods. To conduct the research, equipment meeting the requirements of technical conditions, using existing and developed devices and devices for obtaining chrome precipitation was used. For this purpose, the necessary devices and samples from the appropriate material to approximate the reliability of the obtained research results were made. Also the necessary improvements to digitize the data obtained on the friction machine were made.Results. The performed studies of adhesion strength have shown that the chrome coatings obtained from the new electrolyte composition will make possible to obtain adhesion strength reaching 270 MPa, which is sufficient for parts operating at high pressures (20 MPa) with the necessary margin of safety. Also the studies conducted on the wear resistance of chrome coatings let to conclude that the wear resistance of the chrome coatings obtained is 20-30% higher compared to the reference surface (the material of the spool manufacture).Discussion and conclusion. The studies of the obtained chrome coatings from the new electrolyte composition made possible to establish, which let to establish the regularities of the influence of the electrolyte composition and the modes of testing the wear resistance of the precipitation obtained compared with the existing universal chromium plating electrolyte. The results obtained confirmed the possibility of using a chrome coating from a new chromium plating electrolyte for the restoration of car parts and road construction machines operating under waterjet wear.

Introduction. The development of aerated concrete with a high content of open pores, using polymineral binders with reduced cement content and significant utilization of local technogenic resources (in particular, enriched waste from thermal power plants) is relevant for the modern construction industry. To systematize modern methods for studying the characteristics of sound insulation and sound protection of buildings, it is necessary to take into account the diversity of international building codes. The aim of the work is to develop a scientifically based technological solution that provides effective aerated concrete based on fly ash from China with improved sound-absorbing characteristics.Main part. In this paper, a methodological basis, which provides for the comprehensive use of fundamental approaches in building materials science, was used. Integrated design to develop composite materials of a given quality at the nano-, micro- and macrolevels was used. The physical and mechanical properties of raw materials and the required characteristics of the developed materials using physicochemical methods of analysis, including laser granulometry, X-ray phase analysis, scanning electron microscopy, thermal methods, etc were studied. The experimental studies in the laboratories of V.G. Shukhov BSTU, as well as Chinese universities were carried out.Conclusions. In this work, scientific approaches for the design and synthesis of aerated concrete with improved acoustic characteristics in various regions of the country, taking into account local raw materials were formulated. Further research can be aimed at expanding the range of lightweight materials for building envelopes in order to ensure a safe human environment. This can be achieved by synthesizing multicomponent composite binders that affect the formation of nano-, micro- and macrostructures of materials.

Published: September 2023

Introduction. For any construction organization (both for the contractor and the developer), it is important to have an idea of a degree of stability of their work. But for today there is no universal method for identifying such factors and determining the degree of their significance. The purpose of the study was to develop a method for diagnosing factors affecting the stability of the work of construction organizations.Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the work was the general scientific principles and methods of research both empirical methods (experiment and expert evaluation) and theoretical (analysis and synthesis, ascent from the abstract to the concrete, systematization). Risk factors and uncertainties are separated from each other by the criterion of the presence or absence of probability of the occurrence of an event. It follows that risks can be minimized, but uncertainty can only be removed, since it is impossible to minimize something whose magnitude is unknown. The groups of risks affecting the stability of the construction organization, as well as some groups of uncertainties that may affect the construction are identified. An expert assessment of risk factors and uncertainty affecting the stability of the construction organization was carried out, as a result of which diagnostics and analysis of internal and external threat factors affecting the progress of construction were carried out.Results. A model for diagnosing risk factors and uncertainty in modern construction is proposed. Risks and uncertainties are ranked according to the level of their danger for the activities of a construction organization and, in general, for the implementation of an investment construction project. The obtained results of risk ranking help to make management decisions aimed at minimizing the most dangerous risks. For example, to plan the acquisition (leasing) of new equipment, to develop additional measures of social incentives for employees, to check the existing logistics chains, to strengthen financial management, etc. Recommendations are also given for removing uncertainties in the course of the work of a construction organization.Discussion and conclusions. The developed method of diagnosing uncertainty and risk factors can be used by both construction contractors and developers. Moreover, large developers and investors can use it not only in the work of their organization, but also to assess uncertainty and risk in general investment and construction activities. In the future, it is possible to study risk-forming factors, to take into account their mutual influence and the degree of controllability (manageability), to identify those factors that require special attention, as well as to develop a general program for managing risks and uncertainty of an investment project.
