Effect of Iron Ore Tailings and High Magnesium Nickel Slag on Flyash - Ggbs Based Geopolymer Concrete (GPC)
Authors: Sethaswi B.
Published: February 2024

Abstract: The cement industry is a major producer of carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas which contaminate the environment by emitting massive volumes of CO2. The building sector contributes both directly and indirectly to environmental degradation, natural resource depletion, and global warming. From a sustainability standpoint, it is critical that cement manufacturing be reduced. Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a new material that does not require portland cement as a binder, instead, materials rich in Silicon (Si) and Aluminum (Al), such as Flyash (FA) and Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) are activated by alkaline liquids to produce the binder. The use of iron ore tailings (IOT) in place of traditional aggregates in concrete has been discovered to be feasible. Concrete made using IOT aggregate performed well with respect to strength and durable studies. GPC mix of 12M was prepared using FA, GGBS, aggregates, alkaline alkali activators such as Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). A study on using iron ore tailings (IOT) in replacement of fine aggregates in percentages of 20, 30, 40 and 50 are studied in GPC. After achieving optimum strength in above mix then high magnesium nickel slag (HMNS) was replaced with varying percentages 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5. As alkaline activators with 12M NaOH and Na2SiO3 solutions are used with a ratio of 2.5. Mechanical properties such as Compressive, Split tensile and Flexural strength are evaluated to determine the influence of IOT and HMNS replacement in GPC.

Authors: Gribanova V. B. , Melnikov P. V. , Gribkov O. I. , Lukyanova N. A.
Published: February 2024

An analysis of the domestic market for flux-cored wire used for welding low-alloy high-strength shipbuilding steels has been carried out. It has been established that to ensure a guaranteed value of the yield strength of the weld metal from 420 to 620 MPa, alloying systems such as Mn–Si, Mn–Si–Ni and Mn–Si–Ni–Mo are taken as a basis. The influence of alloying elements used in these systems on the formation of the microstructure and properties of welds was experimentally established.
Influence of lithium on the temperature dependence of heat capacity and thermodynamic functions changes in AK1 alloy based on high-purity aluminum
Authors: Ganiev I. N. , Rakhimov M. R. , Otadzhonov S. E. , Ismoilova M. Kh. , Khudoyberdizoda S. Yu.
Published: February 2024

The heat capacity of the AK1 alloy based on high-purity aluminum with lithium was determined in the cooling mode using the known heat capacity of the reference aluminum sample. By means of mathematical processing of cooling rate curves of samples from AK1 alloy with lithium and the reference sample, polynomials describing their cooling rates were obtained. Further, the polynomials of the temperature dependence of the heat capacity of alloys, described by a four-member equation, were established using the experimentally found values of the cooling rates of samples from alloys and the standard, taking into account their mass. Using integrals from specific heat capacity, models of temperature dependence of enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy changes were established. It was found that the heat capacity of the alloys increases with rising temperature. The addition of lithium when the temperature is up to 600 K significantly increases the heat capacity, and at temperatures above 600 K lithium in amounts of 0.5 wt. % reduces the heat capacity of the initial alloy AK1. It is shown that lithium addition increases the enthalpy and entropy of the initial AK1 alloy and decreases the Gibbs energy value.

Authors: Gorunov A. I. , Morozov V. V. , Guseva D. V. , Kudimov O. V.
Published: February 2024

The possibility of formation of porous materials for biomedical applications from VT6/Ta/Zr alloy by direct laser deposition has been shown. Varying the laser power allowed to obtain alloys with variable porosity. The modes providing formation of porous material with normal elasticity modulus corresponding to human bone were selected. It was found that the porosity value of 32% is achieved at the laser power of 50 W, which meets the requirements, for example, for dental prosthetics. In the process of direct laser deposition of materials in VT6/Ta/Zr alloys with variable porosity tantalum particles do not melt and act as crystallization centers. Such conditions ensure the formation of a highly dispersed metal structure consisting mainly of VT6 powders with evenly distributed Ta and Zr particles.

The purpose of this study is to measure whether emotional intelligence has an impact on marketing or prospective customers' perceptions of advertisements they have observed on social media. Depending on the situation of the study, it has been observed that emotional intelligence has a statistically significant effect on social media advertising perception.
Two Centuries from Karamzin: Literature in Dialogues with History and in Cross-Cultural Relations
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Polonsky Vadim V.
Published: February 2024

The book consists of research writings that grew out of the author’s studies in Russian literature of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. So the book diverges into several concentric thematic circles. The diachronic one implies a retrospective review of the reception, primarily by the Silver Age, of national and world cultural heritage (from Pushkin to Chekhov; from ancient tragedy and Dante to Paul Claudel and Knut Hamsun) and a prospectus reaching almost to the present day (Solzhenitsyn, Brodsky). The historical one involves a special focus on the First World War (to a lesser extent the Second, as a response to the fate of European modernism) and the Russian Revolution. At last, the synthetic circle affects the dialogues of literature and literary criticism with philosophy, other arts and humanities. The monograph is intended for philologists, historians, philosophers, lecturers and students of the humanities.
Poland in Zinaida Gippius’s Destiny
Authors:   Leningrad State University after A.S. Pushkin, Demidova Olga R.
Published: February 2024

The article based on several textual bodies of different genres (diaries, journalism, poetry) reconstructs the evolution of Z. Gippius’s attitude towards Poland and the Poles from 1914 through 1940, the undertaken analysis relying on comparative and intertextual methodology. The utmost goal of the analysis is to present variants of Gippius’s comprehension and conceptualization of the said attitude on the historical background of several decades as well as the ways of their textual explication, and to work out the typology of the “Poland” image in the writer’s individual perception and her general worldview in two basic perspectives — the public and the private. Comparing verbal, cultural, and existential texts, the author argues that depending on Gippius’s public ideas, historiosophic views, external events and personal circumstances, there were four versions of “Poland” which either co-existed or succeeded each other in both her mind and writings. Formed on two levels, the public and the private, the image of Poland through time suffered a substantial transformation from a definitely positive one in her Petersburg 1914–1917 diary “The Blue Book” to an acutely negative one in the 1940 diary “The Grey with the Red”. In Gippius’s estimation, during the two and a half decades in question Poland lost its initial high status of a suffering crucified country inspiring deep sympathy, to acquire that of a country-traitor deserving the retribution for its sins.
“Conjurer” of the Wrong World: the Biographical Work of Dmitry Merezhkovsky in the Context of Life Description Genre Traditions
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Polonsky Vadim V.
Published: February 2024

Western criticism often compared Merezhkovsky’s historical and biographical writing with the archaeology of Georg Ebers, the aesthetic stylization of Flaubert as the author of “Salammbô” and the universals of Hippolyte Taine. At the same time, the question of the nature of the impressive similarity between the biographies of Napoleon created by Léon Bloy and Merezhkovsky remains open, since there is indirect evidence, still not verified, in favour of the influence of the Russian writer’s early texts on the French author. It is important to correlate Merezhkovsky’s late works with the genre repertoire of the rightwing religious traditionalism line — deliberately stigmatized and discredited in the prevailing axiology of culture after the Second World War. The article examines Merezhkovsky’s life-writing work in the context of the main trends in biography of the XX century: hermeneutical-phenomenological, fictional, and functional. The conclusion is made about the belonging of the Russian writer to the functional one. It is emphasized that in the first of them Merezhkovsky acts as a compiler, who preserved in one work a compendium of common places of the Russian Danteana of the “Silver age”. As for “Napoleon”, the subforms of Fate tragedy and hagiography are revealed in the genre whole of this text. It is proved that the total sacralization of the worldview in the work finds typological correspondence, on the one hand, in “Catholic renewal” literature, and on the other one, in autohagiographical works of the Russian Old Believer tradition.
Dmitry Merezhkovsky and Nicolas Minsky, Two Religious Voices at the “Mercure de France”
Authors:   Bordeaux Montaigne University, Kuntsevich Daria
Published: February 2024

In 1907, the religious situation attracted the attention of the editors of “Mercure de France”. They launched an international survey and collected responses to the following question: “Are we witnessing a dissolution or an evolution of the religious idea and feeling?” In a series of publications and then in a separate edition, the publishers presented their readers with a unique discourse on intellectual change in society. The article only considers the reactions of Russian correspondents, a complete analysis of the published responses being well beyond the scope of our study. First of all, we sought to know the reasons for the use of Russian authors, to trace the mutual influence of French and Russian literature. Particular attention was paid to the collaboration between the “Mercure de France” editions and the Merezhkovsky–Minsky duo. Indeed, it is pointed out that Dmitri Merezhkovsky and Nicolas Minsky posed similar questions during their philosophical and religious meetings in 1901– 1903, four years before the publication of the survey. In response, Merezhkovsky developed his ideas of a “New religious consciousness”, and Minsky advocated his unique religion, meonism. Furthermore, the article elucidated the difference between Minsky’s core ideas and those of Merezhkovsky. Finally, their ideas were contrasted with those of their Russian counterparts.
Zinaida Gippius in Taormina: Wilhelm von Gloeden, Elisabeth von Overbeck, and Others
Authors:   University of California at Berkeley, Matich Olga B.
Published: February 2024

Taormina in Sicily, established by the ancient Greeks, attracted contemporary artists in the fin de siècle, as well as gay men and women. One of their main attractions was the German photographer Baron von Gloeden who became famous for his images of partly naked and naked youths in pseudoancient style. Preoccupied with questions of gender all her life, Zinaida Gippius spent more than a month in Taormina in 1898, falling in love with the gay Anri Briquet, then the composer Elisabeth Overbeck. What is important is that instead of Gippius’s earlier triangulated practice and theory of love she became attracted to love between two individuals and tried to conceptualize it in those terms. The essay is dedicated to her paradoxical ideas about the in-betweenness of gender in the erotic context including Gloeden’s setting as well as Gippius’s related fictional and personal writing.
The Green Lamp Meetings in Paris
Authors:   Sorbonne University, Turgieva Maria A.
Published: February 2024

The meetings of the Green Lamp circle, which were arranged by the Merezhkovskys in Paris from 1927 to 1939, are usually viewed in the context of the history of the Russian diaspora. It is proposed to analyse, in a departure from secondary sources of information, the extant materials immediately related to the circle’s activity (transcripts of the meetings, typewritten speeches, publications of the speakers on the subjects of their recent presentations, published comments of attendees, succinct reports of literary soirees, relevant correspondence of attendees and participants). Therefore, meetings, of which no records have been found, remain beyond the scope of this paper; memoirs (of literary critics of the “older” and “younger” generations, writers, poets, etc.) are referred to wherever pertinent. The interlocutions taking place at the meetings are herein arbitrarily subdivided into literary, religious, political, and those concerning the spiritual state of Russian expatriates in France. Studies of the activities of the Green Lamp circle give a perspective of problems that exercised the minds of Russian intellectuals in exile during the thirteen years of the circle’s existence. It also makes possible weighing the contribution of the Merezhkovskys to the selfdetermination of the Russian diaspora as a community.
Circle of Russian and European Writers in “Non-War Diary. 1914–1916” of D.S. Merezhkovsky
Authors:   Shenzhen MSU-BIT University, Kholikov Aleksey A. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: February 2024

The study presents a reconstruction of the circle of Russian and European writers in the “Non-War Diary. 1914–1916” (1917) of D.S. Merezhkovsky. This is an example of a productive interaction between textual criticism, literary history and poetics. It is facilitated by the use of both printed, scattered in pre-revolutionary periodicals (newspapers and magazines of the First World War), and handwritten (RO IRLI, RGALI) sources. Turning to this research “plot” is a new step in solving not only applied (scientific-editional), but also fundamental (analytical) problems. The immanent movement into the “archeology” of individual articles concretizes the historical context of the entire collection, complements the precedent ones for D.S. Merezhkovsky literary names and expands our understanding of the “fluctuations” that took place in the attitude of the author to his predecessors and contemporaries. The formal reason for writing most of the articles in the “Non-War Diary. 1914–1916” is a literary event or memorable date. The true stimulus for the author’s reflections is social and political events. The discussions about military and pre-revolutionary everyday life on the pages of the collection are basically literary-centric. A fullfledged analysis of this supertextual unity is impossible without understanding the role of the names of Russian and European writers included in it, who have become an integral part of the intellectual landscape of the crisis era.
Russia and Europe in the Short Stories by Z.N. Gippius of the 1920s–1930s
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zuseva-Özkan Veronika B.
Published: February 2024

The article deals with three short stories by Z.N. Gippius: “Vanya and Marie” (1924), “Marina and Katerina (Parallels)” (1931), “Vanya Pugachev and Vanya Rumyantsev” (1933). The stories, which reflect the relationship between Russia and Europe, demonstrate, according to the author’s intention, not just separate “cases” of human destinies and individualities, but the deeplying foundations of the national character and the Russian revolution of 1917. The objectives of the article are to study the constants and evolution of Gippius’ ideas on “the change of times, the deep difference of cultures, countries and peoples” “against the background of the ‛eternal’,” i. e. love, as she puts it in the story “Marina and Katerina”. Narrative structure, motive and thematic echoes, mental stereotypes and artistic topoi of these short stories are revealed. The commonality of problems and structure allows to consider the selected texts as a single semantic series, reflecting Gippius’ views on the relationship between Russia and Europe, and the “rewriting” of the story “Vanya and Marie” in the story “Vanya Pugachev and Vanya Rumyantsev” especially helps to identify the evolutionary vector of these views. The stories are also compared with the journalism and criticism of Gippius, in which similar ideas are expressed.
Competitive intelligence formalisation in the property sector: The emerging market study
Authors: Nenzhelele Tshilidzi Eric
Published: February 2024

Competitive intelligence (CI) enhances the quality of products or services and decision-making (Tarek et al., 2017). Despite formalisation having been identified as a cornerstone for CI, firms continue to practice it informally (Cavallo et al., 2021). Although CI formalisation has been investigated in other economic industries in South Africa, no study on the formalisation of CI has been conducted in the real estate sector (Cavallo et al., 2021). The objective of this research was to establish the formalisation of CI in the South African real estate sector. This research followed a quantitative research methodology using a web-based questionnaire to collect data from property practitioner firms in the South African real estate sector. The South African real estate sector is very competitive and firms practice CI to gain competitive advantage over their rivals. The findings indicate that the majority of property practitioner firms practice CI formally using different application software. However, the results indicate that property practitioner firms lack a CI system and do not appoint CI professionals. Although the majority of firms do not have a CI system and do not appoint CI professionals, they practice CI formally and use different application software during practice.

Can the current successes of global machine learning-based weather
simulators be generalized beyond two-week forecasts to stable and
accurate multiyear runs? The recently developed AI2 Climate Emulator
(ACE) suggests this is feasible, based upon 10-year simulations trained
on a realistic global atmosphere model using a grid spacing of
approximately 110~km and forced by a repeating annual
cycle of sea-surface temperature. Here we show that ACE, without
modification, can be trained to emulate another major atmospheric model,
EAMv2, run at a comparable grid spacing for at least ten years with
similarly small climate biases. ACE accurately reproduces EAMv2’s
frequency distribution of daily-mean precipitation, its time-mean
spatial pattern of precipitation, and its space-time structure of
tropical precipitation, including the Madden-Julian Oscillation.
Moreover, ACE’s climate biases with respect to EAMv2 are substantially
smaller than EAMv2’s own biases compared to the observed historical
average surface precipitation rate and top-of-atmosphere radiative
fluxes.
Defining the Ideal Range for Reducing Oil Viscosity and the Optimal Rate of Steam Injection for a Heavy Oil Field
Authors: S Jafarov
Published: February 2024

Heavy oil reservoirs often lend themselves well to thermal enhanced recovery techniques. Traditional methods like primary production or water injection are less effective due to the high viscosity of the oil. Steam stimulation primarily aims to elevate the reservoir's temperature, thereby reducing the oil's viscosity and improving its flow properties. Steam injection stands as one of the most prevalent thermal recovery methods, commonly applied in heavy oil reservoirs. The primary goal is to validate the process for selecting suitable reservoirs, the physical mechanisms involved, and the simulation characteristics essential for steam recovery. This study establishes the optimal multiplier for reducing oil viscosity and the ideal steam injection rate for heavy oil fields.

Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study is to present the direction of the vocational rehabilitation policy and the improvement plan of the vocational rehabilitation delivery system of local governments. To this end, the regional vocational rehabilitation policy and delivery system of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany and the vocational rehabilitation policy and delivery system of local governments in Korea were reviewed. This study thus conducted a focus group interview with 11 vocational rehabilitation experts working in local A.
As a result of the study, vocational rehabilitation in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany focused on pursuing welfare through work, customized services considering the individual characteristics of people with disabilities, establishing an integrated service of welfare and labor, and securing accessibility and vocational rehabilitation services with rehabilitation professionals. On the other hand, the vocational rehabilitation policy in Area A did not reflect the characteristics of people with disabilities and regions, and the service system was divided, resulting in insufficient performance. In addition, it was analyzed that it is urgent to improve of disability awareness in the community and establish a control tower for vocational rehabilitation policies. It was suggested to establish an initial service provision function and an intervention role system for vocational rehabilitation services, design a customized conditional welfare system considering regional characteristics and the types of disabilities, revitalize the Welfare Committee for the Disabled, and reflect policy agendas.

Rentenpolitik nach dem Haushaltsurteil: keine Maximalforderungen
Authors: Börsch-Supan Axel
Published: February 2024

German pension policy faces a dilemma. If it is too generous, it harms contributors, disincentivises labour supply, and crowds out education and infrastructure investment needed to pay for social protection. If it is too frugal, it harms those with social and health issues. Thus, smart compromises are required rather than maximum demands. We propose a policy mix with five elements: 1) determine the pension level in a sustainable and generation-appropriate way; 2) link retirement age to life expectancy; 3) limit early retirement to those in poor health; 4) abolish mandatory retirement; 5) encourage a mix of pay-as-you-go and funded occupational pensions.
Stabilization of Spontaneous Cerebral Coil Detachment with Stent during Endovascular Treatment of Direct Carotido-Cavernous Fistula: A Case Report
Authors: Ponomarjova Sanita , Karimova Ilaha , Kratovska Aina , Mohammadian Reza
Published: February 2024

Carotido-cavernous fistula (CCF) is a rare vascular anomaly and endovascular treatment plays a crucial role in managing of it. However, complications can arise, including spontaneous coil detachment, which can lead to embolic or thrombotic events. In this case report, we present the case of a 56-year-old man who suffered multiple skull base and facial bone fractures, along with a traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, resulting from a fall. The patient was diagnosed with a right-sided traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula, and endovascular treatment with coiling was performed. During the procedure, a coil spontaneously detached, to address this complication, a stent was deployed to fix the dislodged coil to the carotid artery wall, ensuring proper occlusion and minimizing the risk of further embolic or thrombotic events. This rescue technique provides stability to the detached coil, minimizing the risk of migration or embolization, and preserves the integrity of the internal carotid artery. Spontaneous coil detachment is a challenging situation during endovascular treatment, but with proper techniques, such complications can be managed effectively, ensuring successful closure of the carotido-cavernous fistula and patient safety.
Barriers and Strategies to Improve Men’s Uptake of HIV Care Services in Rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: A Qualitative Approach
Authors: Adeagbo Oluwafemi , Xulu Zakhele , Gumede Dumsani , Naidoo Kammila
Published: February 2024

The 2017 Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS Blind Spot report echoes the challenges as well as the benefits of men’s effective utilisation of HIV services. However, men have been consistently missing from the HIV care cascade, leading to poor health outcomes in men and ongoing transmission of HIV in young women in South Africa. This study sought to understand key barriers to effective uptake of HIV services among men and potential strategies to address these challenges. Ten semi-structured telephone interviews and three workshops were conducted (from July to November 2020) with a purposive sample of men aged 21–65 years (N = 26) from rural KwaZulu-Natal. Broad themes were identified from the interview transcripts and analysed inductively. Masculine norms, stigma, and fear of an HIV identity were major barriers to the uptake of HIV testing among men as well as hesitancy due to perceived risks. Participants living with HIV identified various sociopsychological, structural, and COVID-related factors inhibiting the uptake of and adherence to HIV treatment. Besides condoms and circumcision, no participants had prior knowledge of pre-exposure prophylaxis. Participants suggested that men need tailored HIV/AIDS messaging and education (led by men living with HIV) about the benefits of HIV testing, treatment, and prevention. Importantly, they believed that community delivery of HIV services would encourage more men to engage in care. To achieve zero new infections and zero AIDS-related deaths of men in South Africa, efforts should be directed to developing tailored emotive educational and community-based interventions that address identified barriers to improve men’s utilisation of HIV care services.
Dostoevsky’s Ethical and Aesthetical Conception and the Problem of Russian National Identity in A. Ponizovsky’s novel Turning into a Listening Ear
Authors: Kolmakova O. A. , Zhornikova M. N.
Published: February 2024

Purpose. The aim of the article is to investigate the influence of the F. M. Dostoevsky's creative heritage on the ideological and artistic originality of A. Ponizovsky's novel Turning into a Listening Ear (2013).

Results. Ponizovsky's interpretation of Dostoevsky related to the theme of the Russian world and Russian identity. Two plotlines, social (ordinary Russians’ stories) and philosophical (controversy around them), create a conflict field typical for Dostoevsky's works: meaning of life and absurdity of existence, cruelty and compassion, Russian people and Russia. Dostoevsky's intertext is found at all levels of text organization. A deep philosophical understanding of the Russian life’s problems is achieved due to a set of Dostoevsky's intertexts, which have acquired the status of metanarratives in Russian culture (Grushenka's legend about the saving onion, devil's anecdote about a quadrillion kilometers on the way to paradise, Svidrigailov's image of eternity as a bathhouse with spiders). Following Dostoevsky's stylistic strategies includes the usage of a polyphonic novel resources, and reproducing individual techniques of the writer's poetics (anachronism, coexistence of fiction and non-fiction, using of Holy Scripture's text). The very person of Dostoevsky becomes an object of controversy for Ponizovsky. Colliding two concepts of the classic’s image – Freudian and Christian-oriented, the modern author creates a portrait of Dostoevsky’s conflicting personality.

Conclusion. The perception of F. M. Dostoevsky's work by A. Ponizovsky is not only reminiscent, but also “genetic” by its nature due to the worldview commonality of these Russian writers.

Purpose. In this paper, we propose an approach to identifying significant differences in the speech of typically developing boys (TD), boys with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Down syndrome (DS) based on a comparison of morphological and lexical characteristics of their speech. The linguistic characteristics were extracted automatically using the morphological analyzer pymorphy2. Sixty nine boys were interviewed. In total, 45 linguistic features were extracted from each dialogue.

Results. The Mann – Whitney U test was used for assessing the differences in linguistic features of speech, and differences were identified for 31 linguistic features of speech of boys with TD and with ASD, 31 linguistic features of speech of boys with TD and with DS, and 15 linguistic features of speech of boys with ASD and with DS. These features were used to build classification models using machine learning methods: gradient boosting, random forest, and AdaBoost algorithm. The identified features showed good separability, and the accuracy of the classification of the dialogues of boys with typical development, autism spectrum disorders and Down syndrome equal to 88 % was achieved.
Associative Experiment as an Auxiliary Method to Identify the Features of the Linguocolor Pictures of the Kazakh World

Purpose. General aim of this article is the structuring of the functional-semantic field of color terms in the Kazakh language.

Results. The article analyzes the experimental results obtained during the psycholinguistic association experiment (AE) conducted in 2021 with students being native Kazakh speakers. The Almaty Corpus of the Kazakh language was used for determining the frequency of basic adjectives in the Kazakh language. There were assigned 8 lexemes as basic color terms in the Kazakh language: қara ‘black’, ақ ‘white’, kok ‘blue’, kyzyl ‘red’, sary ‘yellow’, қоңыр ‘brown’, zhasyl ‘green’ and sur ‘grey’ ‒ on the basis of their frequency, non-derivation, transparency of lexical meaning, wide compatibility with words of different semantic classes and word-formation productivity. The conducted associative experiment was aimed to identify the standards of basic color designations rooted in the linguistic consciousness, as well as the respondents' original reactions to color.

Conclusion. The application of the associative experiment revealed the features of the linguistic picture of the world of the Kazakhs in terms of the color representation of reality. The use of AE made it possible to obtain information about different levels of color awareness, which allows clarifying and verifying one of the possible ways to study color designations. A significant proportion of stable associations lie in the emotional, spiritual and intellectual spheres, whereas objects of the environment acting as standards for color values are represented by a large number of single, individual associations.

Published: February 2024

With the help of the MathCAD mathematical package, solutions to problems using the heat balance equation were obtained, in which the heat capacity was calculated according to Debye theory, and spline interpolation of experimental data on heat capacity from the reference book was also used. The degree of helium ionization at a given temperature is calculated. An example of the influence of lithium impurity on the degree of hydrogen ionization is considered. The energy and pressure of neon in the region of multiple ionization are calculated. Isotherms of an ideal fermi gas are con structed. A graph of the Fermi-Dirac distribution function for various temperatures is constructed. The concentration of electrons and positrons at temperatures corresponding to the rest energy of electrons is calculated. These examples can be used in the educational process.
Mechanism of Beam-Plasma Discharge Development in the Gas Dynamic Trap

Published: February 2024

The work studies how a plasma discharge in the Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) is ignited in a volume significantly exceeding the volume of the injected electron beam. This property of a beam-plasma discharge makes it attractive to use relatively low-power electron beams to create starting plasma in open traps with parameters sufficient for its further effective heating by the neutral injection. Despite the fact that effective ionization of plasma far beyond the electron beam in open traps has been observed experimentally for more than 60 years, the detailed mechanism of this phenomenon is still not clear. Particularly many questions arise in regimes that are implemented in such large fusion facilities as GDT, where the relaxation length of the beam turns out to be significantly less than the length of the trap, and the turbulence excited by the beam is localized near the entrance magnetic mirror. Based on recent experiments [E.I. Soldatkina et al. Nucl. Fusion 62, 066034 (2022)], we have proposed a scenario for the development of a discharge in GDT, according to which a compact region of intense plasma turbulence first rapidly expands radially, ionizing the gas outside the beam tube in the vicinity of a magnetic mirror, and then a slower ionization process begins in the rest trap volume both due to the tail of suprathermal particles that are formed in the turbulence zone, and due to thermal electrons that receive energy from the pumping region via the longitudinal electron thermal conductivity. To assess how well this scenario explains the experimentally observed dynamics of plasma density growth in different parts of the facility, we carry out particle-in-cell simulations of the radial expansion of the turbulence zone and propose a simplified model of impact ionization in the entire volume of the trap by both thermal and suprathermal electrons.

Published: February 2024

In this work, the temperature dependence of the specific heat capacity of glasses obtained on the basis of the Na2B4O7 + Bi2O3 compound with different concentrations of sodium tetraborate and bismuth oxide in the initial mixture was studied experimentally during cooling. It has been experimentally shown that with a change in the concentration of the initial substances, the specific heat capacity of the sample’s changes, and a shift of the maxima towards low temperatures is observed with an increase in the concentration of bismuth oxide. A physical interpretation of the nature of the maximum on the temperature dependence of the specific heat is given.

The Iimpact of «Kkondae» Culture on Intergenerational Conflict in Korean Workplaces
Authors: Choi K.
Published: February 2024

This paper explores the phenomenon of “kkondae” culture in Korean society, especially in the workplace, which involves a hierarchical and authoritarian attitude of the older toward the younger, which leads to generational conflict and negatively affects workplace dynamics. The paper examines three socio-psychological factors (attribution errors, cognitive rigidity, and egocentric communication) to define “kkondae” culture in organizational culture and emphasizes the need to examine the impact of “kkondae” culture on generational conflict and identify policy recommendations to promote a more inclusive and respectful workplace culture. Further research is needed to explore the factors that contribute to the emergence and persistence of the “kkondae” phenomenon in different social contexts.
