The discarding of scrap tires is a serious environmental hazard worldwide. Simultaneously, the asphalt mixture containing neat binders do not always perform as required. Therefore, various efforts have been taken in the past to enhance the performance properties of the neat asphalt cements by modifying them with crumb rubber powder. Consequently, this will decrease the environmental hazards of waste tires. According to prior and ongoing research, the modification of asphalt mixtures using crumb rubber have enhanced the asphalt mixtures properties such as low and high temperature performance as well as rutting deformation resistance, fatigue cracking resistance. This paper affords via an overview of the physical and rheological properties of the rubberized asphalt binders under different conditions. This review transacts through the impact of crumb rubber particles on the asphalt binder’s workability, rotational viscosity, the needle penetration, softening point, low- temperature and high-temperature performance. Furthermore, fatigue cracking resistance, rutting behavior and storage stability are in the focus.

Reinterpretasi Term Riqab dalam Al-Quran sebagai Basis Pengembangan Filantropi Islam
Authors: Kusroni Kusroni
Published: April 2022

Riqab dalam sumber-sumber penafsiran pramodern hanya dimaknai secara terbatas sebagai budak yang dimiliki sang majikan. Pemaknaan ini sesuai dengan konteks masa itu, di mana budak dan perbudakan masih menjadi bagian dari sistem sosial-ekonomi dalam masyarakat. Pemakaan inilah yang secara tidak langsung mempersempit wilayah cakupan distribusi zakat dan sedekah, sebagai basis utama dalam filantropi Islam. Penelitian ini berupaya melakukan reinterpretasi atas term riqab dalam al-Qur’an. Hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan bahwa riqab yang dalam al-Qur’an terulamg sebanyak enam kali, seluruhnya berbicara tentang pemerdekaan dan pembebasan budak. Dengan demikian, dalam pemaknaan kontekstual, riqab saat ini adalah mereka yang tertindas, terpinggirkan, dan terzalimi dalam sistem sosial maupun ekonomi, dan oleh karenanya, mereka berhak memperoleh bagian dari distribusi zakat. Menurut peneliti, pemaknaan ini bisa menjadi basis dalam pengambangan filantropi Islam.
STORYTELLING IN THE NARRATOLOGY OF DIGITAL ERA
Authors: SHAPINSKAYA EKATERINA
Published: April 2022

The paper examines transformation of narrative in digital epoch, which caused emergence of the form “storytelling”, that is, narrative used in Internet mostly with commercial purpose. Theory of narrative, which emerged as a method of narrative research in the XX century, the time of development of structuralism, is regarded from the point of view of its applicability to the texts of popular culture. Analysis of contemporary storytelling in its connection with traditional research in humanities is a new turn in studying digital culture in the context of humanities discourse. Internet narratives are examined as based on archetypal structures used in myths and legends and adopted to today’s realities. As a conclusion, suggestion is made about ambivalence of digital culture forms, including storytelling, which are linked to the past forms and categories but are used beyond the limits of cultural consumption.

Clarity for friends, confusion for foes: Russian vaccine propaganda in Ukraine and Serbia
Authors: Keegan Katrina
Published: April 2022

This paper examines how Russia tailors its vaccine propaganda to hostile and friendly audiences, like Ukraine and Serbia. Web scraping of all articles about vaccines on Russian state-owned websites from December 2020 to November 2021 provided data for quantitative topic modeling and qualitative analysis. This revealed that the Kremlin muddles issues and sows confusion for Ukrainians but feeds Serbians focused, repetitive narratives. Therefore, countering Russian propaganda proactively also requires a tailored approach. Journalists and public communications officials should clarify information and separate unrelated issues in Russia-hostile places like Ukraine but add nuance and context to narratives in Russia-friendly places like Serbia.

Published: April 2022

The sudden emergence of the COVID-19 resulted in an abrupt shift from the traditional face-to-face teaching method to the technology-mediated form of education at almost all levels of education in Ghana. To this end, teachers are expected to have competence not only in pedagogy and content but also in using technology to facilitate instruction. In this regard, this study sought to examine whether or not teachers of Ghanaian languages have Technological Knowledge and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge with respect to implementing technology-mediated instruction. To achieve the set purpose of the study, a cross-sectional survey design was adopted. Data were collected with a questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale. The gathered data were analyzed by computing the means and standard deviations of the Likert scale items. The findings of the study show that teachers of the Ghanaian languages possess good Technological Knowledge as well as Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). Thus, they perceived themselves to be competent enough to implement any form of technology-mediated instruction in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Having ascertained the perceived Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge of teachers, the study recommended that Ghanaian language teachers should be resourced with working technological aids to make technology integration feasible amid the outbreak of COVID-19.

The article presents a technique that makes it possible to predict the technological residual deformations of GTE blades obtained at the stages of end milling as a result of the effect of residual stresses. The first part of the technique makes it possible to determine the magnitude, bijugat and character of the residual stresses distribution formed in the surface layer of the workpieces in the operations of end milling. The adequacy of the technique was verified by investigating the convergence of the numerical computation results with the results of field experiments. As a result of the research, a power-law dependence was obtained, which makes it possible to determine the value of the maximum circumferential residual stresses depending on the parameters of the end milling processing mode. The second part of the technique makes it possible to determine the residual deformations of the GTE blade based on the residual stress distribution diagrams obtained when using of the first part of the technique or obtained on the basis of field experimental investigations. Also, power-law dependences are obtained in this work, which make it possible to determine the value of the maximum deviations of the control sections of the investigated GTE blade, depending on the parameters of the end milling mode.

Authors:   Samara National Research University, Abul’khanov S.R.
Published: April 2022

Using the transformation of a raster image of a rough surface, combinatorial parameters are introduced, which are determined on the basis of the histogram of the controlled surface fragment. The proposed parameters characterize the area of each level of microroughness. The dynamics of changes in a rough surface as a result of technological impact on it is estimated using the efficiency of filling and the economy of coating. For parameterization of the controlled fragment of the surface, the features of the raster image transformation algorithm were also used. For the image of the GTE blade feather at different stages of its finishing, the introduced parameters for the image of a rough surface were determined. The limits of applicability of the proposed parameters for controlling the dynamics of changes in a rough surface are shown. The ways of developing the proposed parameters for rough surfaces operating under various conditions are indicated.

Authors:   Samara State Medical University, Zavodyuk S.Yu.
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the formation and reform of local justice in 1861-1889 from the perspective of local (regional) history using the methodology of socio-cultural analysis, the concepts of “social trust” and “social capital”. It contains a characteristic of the volost courts in the state and udel villages of the Samara province until the 1861. The author addresses the problems of the formation and development of the magistrate court in the Samara province in the 1860-1870s, its specifics in comparison with the volost courts. She notes such common features of local justice bodies as complete economic dependence on the population and the desire to reconcile the parties. The thesis is postulated about the restrained confidence of the peasants in the newly created institution of the world court, their desire to have the opportunity to choose between the old and new local justice bodies. The author reveals differences in the approaches of peasants to local judicial institutions, depending on the ethno-confessional situation in the volost, contradictions within the peasant community and the influence of the elders on the volost court.
THE HISTORY OF THE FOREST INDUSTRY OF THE VOLGA REGION OF THE PRE-WAR FIVE-YEAR PLANS IN THE MATERIALS OF ARCHIVAL FUNDS: THE PROBLEM OF MISSING DOCUMENTS
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Voyeikov E.V.
Published: April 2022

The forestry industry of the USSR played an important role in the pre-war industrialization. At present, there are no studies that examine and analyze in detail all the main aspects of the development of forestry and the forest industry both in the Volga region as a whole and individual administrative-territorial formations of this region during the years of pre-war industrialization. The main materials on the history of the exploitation of the forests of the Volga region in the 1930s are contained precisely in the archival funds. In this article the main attention is focused on the disappearance from the archival funds of the documentation of the largest logging organizations, i.e., forest trusts, which is valuable for researchers of the industrial development of the region. Only the safety of documents of the territorial departments of forest protection and forest plantations of the Penza, Kuibyshev and Saratov regions, created in 1936, can be considered satisfactory.

Published: April 2022

The paper is devoted to the activities of Russian officers and envoys of the St. Petersburg government during the reign of Bishop Petar II PetrovićNjegoš in Montenegro. Their arrival in Cetinje at that time was of great importance not only for strengthening Montenegrin-Russian relations, but also for settling the internal and external situation in Montenegro. The appointment of Lieutenant Colonel JakovNikolajevichOzereckovski took place immediately after Njegoš’s second visit to the Russian capital. Ozereckovski’s tasks were to study the social and economic situation in Montenegro as comprehensively as possible, as well as to contribute to the state reforms of Petar II Njegoš. Based on his reports, the Russian government decided to send a new envoy to Montenegro, a young captain and mining engineer YegorPetrovichKovaljevski. Although he failed to find the alleged traces of gold in the river Zlatica, Kovaljevski nevertheless unexpectedly found himself in the role of a talented negotiator during the Montenegrin-Austrian border dispute, and his actions contributed to the successful resolution of the conflict.

Published: April 2022

Aim:

Thymosin alpha 1 (Tα1) is a promising treatment for the improvement of sepsis patients. Until now, its function in reducing acute organ damage of sepsis patients is still unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether Tα1 can alleviate organ dysfunction in sepsis patients.
Methods:

This study retrospectively enrolled sepsis patients from a multicenter randomized controlled trial [efficacy of Tα1 for severe sepsis (ETASS)]. The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score on day 0 (initial), day 3, and day 7 was collected. Absolute SOFAday07 was defined as initial SOFA score minus SOFA score on day 7 (initial SOFA–SOFA day7). Delta SOFA score (ΔSOFAday07) was provided by the formula: (initial SOFA–SOFA day7) × 100/initial SOFA, and it was expressed as a percentage. After propensity score matching (1:1 ratio), baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the Tα1 group and placebo group. The primary outcome was evaluated with a comparison of ΔSOFAday07 decline between patients treated with or without Tα1 therapy.
Results:

Among 288 enrolled patients, 149 patients received both Tα1 and standard therapy (Tα1 group), and 139 patients received both placebo and standard therapy (placebo group). Compared with the placebo group, the Tα1 group had significantly lower Absolute SOFAday07 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.8 (0–1.7), P = 0.049]. Among 111 pairs of patients matched by propensity score, the Tα1 group still had lower Absolute SOFAday07 [95% CI 1.0 (0.1–1.9), P = 0.029]. Meanwhile, Tα1 treatment could significantly improve ΔSOFAday07. When the amplitude of ΔSOFAday07 was graded, one third of patients in the Tα1 group had an increase of more than 60%, compared with 22% in the placebo group. Subgroup analysis found that the ΔSOFAday07 improved significantly after Tα1 therapy in sepsis patients with no immunoparalysis at baseline, no complications, and early intervention.
Conclusions:

For sepsis patients, Tα1 treatment can alleviate organ dysfunction, and ΔSOFAday07 can be used as an indicator of its therapeutic effect (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00711620).

Therefore, to reduce the consumed energy, we propose a method to feed the evaporated pads without the need to keep the water pump working all the time. This method can save energy up to %40.
Future of Online Signatures: The One-Sign Feature

Have you ever messed up trying to sign a document digitally? If you did, then you know how difficult it is to use your index finger as a god-given stylus; To draw between those tiny exact spaces and redo it, again and again, in case the screen does not capture your finger drawn signature properly. Shouldn’t there be a better convenient, hassle-free way to do this? Something that ensures authenticity, accountability, security, and at the same time doesn’t feel like ‘draw-wrestling’? Here we present our solution in the form of a software system as a hypothesis going by the name ‘the One sign feature’. The feature is a crossplatform, profile-based, Sign Insertion method, which works when a password is successfully accepted, thereby inserting the sign on the document where selected. It is proposed as a solution to the "Small Screen, Too Much Work, Less Authenticity and Less Accountability" problem statement, which are common limitations of all the current solution offerings. The paper does a brief comparative study of all the popular technologies available in the industry used to digitally sign a document; discussing their drawbacks and drastic impacts of their limitations in terms of loss of money, productivity, and time. All this with the motive to prove that the 'Smart era' of Online Signatures is yet to come to its breakthrough and that there is still a wide opportunity gap for a system that could increase Data Privacy, overcome the limitations of the current systems, and eliminate loopholes.
