Corrosion Enhancement of PM Processed Magnesium by Turning Native Oxide on Mg Powders into Carbonates
Authors: Nagy Trembošová Veronika , Nagy Štefan , Nosko Martin , Švec Peter , Štepánek Matej , Bajana Otto
Published: May 2024

In addition to its use as a lightweight material, pure magnesium is a promising candidate for prospective bioimplants considering its excellent biocompatible properties. Regardless of what Mg application is used, the ultimate goal is to improve magnesium's mechanical properties and degradation behaviour. Because of the high affinity for oxygen native oxide layer of gas-atomized powders is naturally formed in contact with the atmosphere. S/TEM investigation of the native oxide of the Mg powder particles revealed a nonhomogeneous nano-crystalline MgO layer. MgO is relatively soluble in water and does not provide sufficient corrosion protection. Among various surface treatment methods, conversion of the non-protective magnesium oxide to carbonate products is possible depending on the environmental conditions. This work used a simple experimental method using CO2 and water vapour to achieve surface carbonation of Mg powders. Two carbonated samples and pure magnesium were prepared by direct extrusion. The samples after carbonation retained good mechanical properties and the layer of carbonates had a significant impact on corrosion resistance. 1 day carbonation resulted in transformation of native oxide into amorphous layer and reduction of corrosion rate. Longer carbonation (10 days) revealed layer growth and transformation of native oxide to crystalline nesquehonite structure.

Published: May 2024

Broadly, understood additive manufacturing techniques expand the spectrum of production of machine parts that are used in various types of devices. However, the requirements to ensure dimensional and shape accuracy require the determination of appropriate material allowances or clearances to enable correct assembly. For the above reasons, the study presents an analysis of the impact of the assumed geometry modifications on the possibility of assembling a splined connection manufactured using selected AM techniques. The work focused on the analysis of changes in geometry resulting from the technology used. Using the Atos II Triple Scan optical measurement system and Gom Inspect software, the possibility of installation was determined for four variants of the splined shaft connection geometry, resulting from the technologies used.
Hellenization of the monumental landscape of the Meroitic kingdom under Natakamani and Amanitore: cultural and historic context
Authors: Lebedev Maxim A.
Published: May 2024

The Meroitic Kush was the largest state on the southern borders of the Roman world. It reached its highest development by the 1st century AD under the rule of Natakamani and Amanitore whose extraordinary building activity attracted many scholars. Withing the framework of a large-scale program of renewing the monumental landscape of their state, the co-rulers erected, rebuilt, and restored cult and palace complexes throughout the country from Amara in the north to Naqa in the south. A characteristic feature of this activity was a wide use of Hellenizing motifs in both architecture and iconography. However, Hellenization did not affect all royal monuments: it was limited to palace complexes and temples of local Kushite gods, predominantly Apedemak, located on main trade routes passing from the inner Africa to the Mediterranean. The paper attempts to explain the reasons for such a striking but, to all appearances, carefully planned phenomenon. The author argues that Natakamani and Amanitore were willing to strengthen their own position within the country and beyond by emphasizing their independence from the northern neighbor through Egyptianization instead of Romanization. The latter could be an attempt to establish themselves as heirs of the Ptolemaic state using Ptolemaic iconography (primarily Dionysiac and solar), Egyptian language, and construction or restoration of the temples of Amun. The case of the Meroitic kingdom under Natakamani and Amanitore may be extremely useful for understanding cultural and historical processes that took place on the outskirts of the Hellenistic and then Roman worlds.
Coup of May 16, 1961 in South Korea in US politics
Authors: Sadakov Denis A.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the methods of the U.S. response to the process of forced change of power in South Korea during the military coup of 1961. The process of changing the existing U.S. policy towards Korea was launched shortly before the revolutionary events due to the available information about conspiracy. However, new approaches were still being in development, and the May 16 coup took the Americans by surprise. Washington's initial attempt to support the legitimate authorities proved ineffective under the new conditions. As a result, the Americans took a survivalist position and watched the establishment of a military rule from the sidelines. By mid-summer of 1961, the Americans had already accept-ed the authoritarian regime that had suspended the republican constitu-tion, suppressed any sprouts of opposition, and was unwilling to return civilian control of the government in the short term. The coup leader, Park Chung-hee, was perceived by Americans as a «strong, fair, and in-telligent leader» who acted as a bridge between the government and the people and effectively combated traditional Korean factionalism. The sit-uation in the country stabilized and the risks of a counter-coup were min-imized. The temporary banning of political parties, as well as other «questionable methods» of the new authorities, was perceived by Ameri-cans as an attribute of the revolutionary atmosphere of the transition pe-riod. From the U.S. point of view, the rise to power in Korea of a group intolerant of corruption and, at the same time, anti-communist, was a great success.
Ancient Egypt, Climate and the Nile: A Remark on the First Intermediate Period
Authors: Proussakov Dmitry
Published: May 2024

The First Intermediate Period in ancient Egypt (22nd–21st centuries B.C.) is characterized by tomb “autobiographies” reporting on low Niles, famine and food donations from high officials and wealthy persons to the poor population after the collapse of the centralized monarchy. Egyptologists have expressed doubts that these sources reflect the real environmental and socio-political situation in Egypt at that date. In the 1970s B. Bell put forward a hypothesis about a severe and prolonged drought that struck in the late 3rd millennium B.C. the Middle East, including the Nile drainage basin; this led to a sharp drop of the Nile floods and, as a consequence (in Bell’s opinion), to the catastrophic decline of the Old Kingdom state. Egyptologists’ rejection of these theses and, in general, the interpretation of historical events of that era in the context of any environmental changes has recently acquired a particularly radical form, up to the revision of the most traditional Egyptological views on the First Intermediate Period, which is now even argued to have not been the time of the deepest crisis of the pharaonic civilization. Numerous independent scientifical studies, however, do not allow denying the important role of the natural factor at certain moments in the history of ancient Egypt, in particular, at the bifurcation between the Old and Middle Kingdoms. From the point of view of the socio-natural history, this was a socio-ecological crisis, a catastrophe that transformed qualitatively the systemic foundations of ancient Egyptian civilization at this stage of its evolution.
The Formation of a Strategic Partnership between China and Thailand: the Role of Belt and Road Initiative
Authors: Vinogradov Ilia
Published: May 2024

This article attempts to consider  the features of formation the strategic partnership between the PRC and Thailand, by tracing bilateral relations from mutual hostility in the 1950s–1960s, establishing official contacts in the 1970s amid the changes in international politics and during the Cambodian crisis, as well as deepening  cooperation on a bilateral and multilateral levels in the post-Cold War era. The important role of Thailand in the process of  bridge-building between China and ASEAN is noted.
The article notes that there is a consensus among the Thai elite on the need to strengthen cooperation with China, which gives Thailand new opportunities for economic growth. China is a major trading partner and key investor for Thailand and provides significant opportunities in realizing Thailand's ambitions to develop advanced technology and infrastructure.
An important component of Thai foreign policy is balancing between Great Powers. However, after the 2014 coup d'etat amid deteriorating relations with the United States, Thailand's military elite significantly expanded its strategic partnership with the PRC. This is evidenced by the growing supply of Chinese military equipment and the scale of joint military exercises.
Particular importance in strengthening cooperation is the development of the China–Laos–Thailand transport corridor within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, which provides countries with new logistics opportunities. The article notes that in negotiations with China, Thailand follows a policy of economic independence and consistently defends its national interests, which cause delays in the implementation of the project, but China is forced to reckon with this.
Epigraphy as the Key Source on Zheng He Expeditions and Its Modern Interpretation: Translation and Comments
Authors: Kolnin Ilia
Published: May 2024

Zheng He expeditions (1405–1433) can be rightfully considered one of the most significant events in the history of China and international relations. Research on this topic began in the end of the 19th century and continues up to this day. The main difficulty in studying these expeditions is considered to be a small quantity of primary sources – most of such documents were intentionally destroyed in 1470s. The written evidence which survived has already been thoroughly studied and translated into European languages. Nevertheless, epigraphical sources received much less attention, works on some of them are absent from both Western and Russian historiography. This article aims at addressing this gap by providing the reader with a general understanding of types and specific features of such sources. In their turn, these sources provide additional information on Zheng He’s personality, the preparation and progress of the expeditions. This paper analyzes not only well-known epigraphical sources: “Ma Hazhi’s epitaph”, “Galle trilingual stele”, “Inscription on stone in the palace of the Celestial Spouse at Liujiagang in eastern Lu in memory of the intercourse with the barbarians” as well as “Record of the miraculous answer to prayer of the goddess, the Celestial Spouse” but also the lesser known “Record of the reconstruction of the devout mosque”, “Memorial inscription about Zheng He visiting [a cemetery] and burning incenses [while] passing through Quanzhou on the way down to the foreign [countries]” and “Stele fragment at Nanjing's Jinghai temple”. An appendix to this paper includes the translation of several epigraphical sources by late A.A. Bokshchanin (1935–2014) and the author of this article. This article is dedicated to the memory of A.A. Bokshchanin, a prominent sinologist who was a specialist in the history of the Ming dynasty and who laid the foundation of the studies of early Ming foreign policy in Soviet and Russian historiography.
An alternative to the Confucianism: Buddhist doctrine of «chakravartin» in political structures of the Three Korean Kingdoms
Authors: Eliseeva Mariia
Published: May 2024

Religion has been the basis of the statehood of various nations since ancient times. This article analyzes the role of the Buddhist concept of “chakravartin” (ideal universal ruler) in the political structures of the Korean statehood of the Three States period. The author believes that in the context of the decline of Confucianism against the backdrop of an ideological crisis and political fragmentation in China in the period from the beginning of the 3th century to the end of the 6th century. Buddhism, having an active political potential, has become a full-fledged ideological alternative to the teachings of Confucius. Korea, as a permanent recipient of Chinese culture, was also influenced by Buddhism, which was reflected in subsequent changes in the state ideology of the Korean states. To explore this issue further, this article provides a comparative description of the Buddhist and Confucian state theories, a list of the main socio-political factors that contributed to the acquisition of the functions of state ideology by Korean Buddhism, as well as an analysis of the state administration system of each of the three Korean kingdoms: Koguryeo, Paekche and Silla. Due to the lack of historical evidence about their state ideology in the written sources of the period, the author relies mainly on indirect sources of information – in particular, archaeological finds. Moreover, various Buddhist canonical texts were used to conduct a comparative analysis using "chakravartin"’s archetypes in other countries of the Asian region.
Trade between the United States and Indochinese Union in the First Half of the 20th Century
Authors: MUNG Duong Thanh
Published: May 2024

This article aims to analyze the commercial activities between the Indochinese Union (Indochina) and the United States in the first half of the XX century. The study focuses on three fundamental issues: The US efforts to seek markets in the Indochina region; commercial exchanges between the French-controlled Indochina and the US in the first half of the XX century; and the commercial benefits that the parties obtained. The results show that the commercial exchange between the Indochina and the US was under the strict management and control of the French colonial government. The policies that France conducted in Indochina during this period caused many disadvantages for the Indochina - US commercial relationship. The Indochinese Union did not have much freedom in choosing trade partners and was highly dependent on France's policies in the colonies. Apart from the subjection to France’s manipulation, commercial exchanges between the Indochina and the US had different rules compared to other European and American countries. Starting from merely commercial activities, the US intervened more deeply in the region by launching a military invasion of Indochina. This study contributes to clarifying the commercial policies of France towards the Indochina during the colonial period, the commercial activities of the US in the Far East region, as well as the history of Vietnam in the first half of the XX century.
“Peacocks?!” or How James Abbot McNeal Whistler (1834–1903) Redefined Chinoiserie and Patron–Artist Relationship
Authors: Dubrovskaya Dinara V.
Published: May 2024

One of the illustrative examples of the intervention of Chinese art in the formulation of the most important styles of the late 19th – early 20th centuries and its creative tandem with Japanese culture, which was then extremely popular in Europe, is James Whistler’s Peacock Room, the famous masterpiece of aestheticism and “Anglo-Japanese style”. The time has come to reflect on this work not only using several familiar stylistic labels, but also by trying to understand why the famous art style is classified as an Anglo-Japanese style if the key work in the room bears the unambiguous title “Princess from the Land of Porcelain.” The close connections between Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Far Eastern artistic influences are well known, but it makes sense to place Whistler’s masterpiece “Harmony in Blue and Gold: The Peacock Room” within the context of existing since 16th century Orientalistic style and a long-standing (since the 18th century) fascination with China. The main style of the unique work is undoubtedly Chinese (blue and white qinghua-qi vases (青花瓷), the imaginary portrait of a princess from the Land of Porcelain, the general design of the literati’s office (wenfang; 文房) and the golden peacocks themselves, which gave the room its name), but Whistler was also inspired by Japanese landscape engravings long before Monet and Van Gogh, even imitating the works of Hokusai and Hiroshige. Having analyzed the influences and history of the room, the author concludes that it should not be inertly attributed to the Anglo-Chinese style, but the concept of “Neo-Chinoiserie” should be introduced.
Archaeological Exploration at the Site of Tell Jidr (Karkar) in Iraq: Results and Prospects
Authors: Balakhvantsev Archil S.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to archaeological exploration conducted by researchers of the Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences in March 2023 at the site of Tell Jidr in Iraq. According to new research, the city of Tell Jidr, named Karkar in the ancient times, was a multi-layered monument that emerged on the eastern channel of the Euphrates – Iturungal – back in the Ubaid III Period, and then existed throughout the Early Dynastic I and Akkadian Periods, the Third Dynasty of Ur, into the Old Babylonian and the Kassite era. At its peak in the Parthian and Sasanian Periods, Tell Jidr, which apparently lost its original name, occupied an area of about 430 ha, stretching 4.4 km from northwest to southeast and 1.9 km from southwest to northeast, and competed with the capital of both empires, Ctesiphon. Remote sensing and ground truthing activities made it possible to clarify the internal structure of the monument, which consisted of northern and southern parts, to identify the system of city blocks and streets, public buildings (temple, palace, citadel), fortification, and to trace the evolution of urban development. Taking into account the finds of ceramic fragments decorated with stamps and fish dishes, as well as mention of Karkar in cuneiform sources of the late Achaemenid and Seleucid times, it is possible to clarify the existing ideas about the stages of the settlement’s development and to confirm the existence of the settlement in the Achaemenid and Hellenistic Periods.

The Emergence of Consciousness in a Physical Universe
Authors: Singh Rajiv
Published: May 2024

Consciousness appears so mysterious and hard to formulate within physical sciences because the present day scientific thinking excludes an element of reality and a general mechanics of its processing from its consideration. The primary missing element is the reality of information in the physical universe as an intrinsic causal correlate of observable physical states. Moreover, there exists a general formalism of information processing that is universally applicable to the processing resulting from each physical interaction. As shown, the formalism further enables a general mechanism to construct arbitrary structured and abstract semantics or object description in modular hierarchy as well as a powerful mechanism of population coding to represent arbitrary precision and variation in object description resolving the combinatorial problem. Here, a semantic value, or simply semantics, is equivalent (\(\equiv\)) to the content of information of causal correlation, and treated as a value to enable its formal processing. The primary motive here is to lay down a formal account of information (semantic) processing that leads to bridging the conceptual gap between the objectively observable elements in nature and the subjective consciousness. It is shown that the qualities we associate with consciousness are causally correlated semantics of relation that a represented agency holds with other objects within a dynamically evolving semantic structure, where the state of the population of physical systems (neurons) correlating with the structure holds causal powers to effect appropriate behavior. Since the information (semantic value) arises from natural causal dependence, the correlation based consciousness forms an undeniable reality of existence. It is derived here how a semantic value equivalent to ‘a self as an observer of objects and controller of actions’ is constructed. If the semantic components of a conscious experience, such as the self, the objects of experience, and the relation of experience attributing the self as the owner or experiencer, causally correlate with a system’s state having causal influence in action, then it suffices to bridge the gap between the objective reality and the subjective consciousness. That is, the semantic value corresponding to the thoughts and senses is the reality of nature the semantics of self relates to as the owner. Moreover, the semantics of ‘self as an observer and controller of action’ is itself shown to form a part of observed objects giving rise to self awareness.

Method of verification hopper scales using force standards
Authors: Andreev D. V.
Published: May 2024

Various existing methods of verification hopper scales are analyzed, including the classical method using weights and alternative methods such as the substitution method and the element-by-element verification method. The analysis revealed the shortcomings of existing methods, as well as difficulties in their application. The main problem of verification heavy-duty scales is the need to manipulate a large number of weights (loading, unloading, storage, transportation, etc.). In most cases, checking hopper scales is generally impossible. In this regard, the task of metrological support of hopper scales has been set and solved. A force method for verification hopper scales has been developed and described. The force method is based on comparing the verifiable scales with the standard of force of the 1st discharge using a comparator. A weight-measuring or force-measuring load cell is used as a comparator. The methods and means of implementing the proposed method of verification hopper scales, as well as the results of testing, proving the possibility of its application and verification of hopper scales using force standards, are presented. On the basis of the force method, a method for verifying the WB CONUS scales using TVS comparators has been developed. The developed method makes it possible to significantly reduce the complexity, time and cost of verification. This is especially true in the production of various materials for which accurate component weighing is critical. The introduction of the force verification method can significantly improve the metrological support for measurements of large masses on scales.

Published: May 2024

The Remote sensing application plays a major role in real-world critical application projects. The research introduces a novel approach, "3D Point-Cloud Processing Using Panoramic Images for Object Detection," aimed at enhancing the interpretability of laser point clouds through the integration of color information derived from panoramic images. Focusing on the context of Mobile Measurement Systems (MMS), where various digital cameras are utilized, the work addresses the challenges associated with processing panoramic images offering a 360-degree view angle. The core objective is to develop a robust method for generating color point clouds by establishing a mathematical correspondence between panoramic images and laser point clouds. The collinear principle of three points guides the fusion process, involving the center of the omnidirectional multi-camera system, the image point on the sphere, and the object point. Through comprehensive experimental validation, the work confirms the accuracy of the proposed algorithm and formulas, showcasing its effectiveness in generating color point clouds within MMS. This research contributes to the present development of 3D point-cloud processing, introducing a contemporary methodology for improved object detection through the fusion of panoramic images and laser point clouds.

Soil nailing is one of reinforcement system to increase the Safety Factor (SF) of the slope. One case at Tukad Ayung Bridge, there is a slope sliding potential during construction because the process cutting and filling works. This research would predict some displacement occurred after the soil nailing implementation. The prediction analysis of SF uses Geoslope program.  Bishop method is selected to evaluate for simulation analysis on each segment based on the acting forces. Simulation analysis manually on existing condition identified the SF = 1.376 and using Geoslope program resulted SF = 1.276. After the cutting and filling works with earthquake influence on existing condition show the SF = 0.390 and could be classified as susceptible to landslides (SF < 1.3 without reinforcement). Soil nailing design with a vertical and horizontal directions in size 1 m multiplied with 1 m resulted SF = 1.321. Thus, the soil nailing reinforcement could increase 70% from the existing conditions.

ЗАРОДЖЕННЯ СУСПІЛЬНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНИХ ВІДНОСИН У ВЗАЄМОЗВ'ЯЗКУ З ВИНИКНЕННЯМ ПОТРЕБ
Authors: Баранюк Андрій
Published: May 2024

В статті аналізується процес зародження суспільно-економічних відносин у контексті виникнення потреб. Встановлено, що суспільно-економічні відносини виникають у результаті взаємодії членів суспільства, центральним об’єктом якої є не лише потреби суспільства, але і власність на ресурси, політичні та правові обмеження, а також ринкові механізми та конкуренція. Виявлено, що складна економічна система, що виникає під час такої взаємодії, через обмін товарами, послугами, інформацією тощо визначає зміст суспільно-економічних відносин. Потреби людей впливають як на економічну взаємодію, так і на соціальні та культурні відносини. Формування економічної системи суспільства відображає його соціально-економічні потреби, цінності та цілі, розуміння яких та взаємозв’язків між ними дає змогу ефективніше управляти економічним розвитком та сприяти досягненню сталого та збалансованого розвитку суспільства.

Many students are lazy to read HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) type questions which are too complicated so that they increasingly do not understand the meaning of the question and this causes the quality of education, especially in learning mathematics in Indonesia to decline. This study aims to analyze students' errors in solving HOTS type problems in mathematics on combined geometry, especially cubes and blocks. The research method that the author uses is a qualitative descriptive research method. The data collection technique used in this research is a HOTS type of math problem test for combined cube and cuboid building materials, interviews and documentation. The results obtained are a comparison of values with an average of 40.61 from SDN 5 Karanggondang and 51.9 from MI Darul Huda 2 Karanggondang. At the C2 level question, namely solving, class 5 MI Darul Huda 2 students seem superior with 88% of students answering correctly. At the C4 level, namely analyzing there is no significant difference, namely 44% of the abilities of the fifth grade students of SDN 5 and 45% of the fifth grade students' abilities of MI Darul Huda. At the C5 level, namely concluding, comparing and assessing, it shows that the percentage of MI Darul Huda 2 students in correctly answering HOTS type math problems is greater than that of SDN 5 students.

Savage, Your Spirits Walk Beside Us - The Politics Of Black Religion
Authors: Pasquier Michael
Published: May 2024

Today it is common to hear people speak of the "African American community" and the "Black Church" as if they were cohesive, clearly-defined institutions. Barbara Dianne Savage, professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania, looks at the complex history of such terms in her book Your Spirits Walk Beside Us: The Politics of Black Religion, effectively chronicling the debates of African Americans over the role of religion in political activism and social reform in twentieth-century America. Specifically, Savage identifies three "paradoxes" present at "the nexus between black religion and black politics," namely, the rich diversity and idiosyncratic manifestations of religion among individual African Americans that elude clear demarcation, the largely localized and decentralized organization of predominantly African American churches that confound any notion of an all-inclusive Black Church, and the tendency within African American churches toward male leadership and female dominance.
