Associations of polymorphisms in prolactin and dopamine receptor D2 genes with reproductive traits on Silkie chicken
Authors: TU Tran Trung , PHUONG Le Thanh , NGU Nguyen Trong
Published: October 2023

The Silkie chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus Brisson) is one of domestic chicken breeds with commercial rearing and breeding potentials for egg production. Prolactin (PRL) and dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) are potential genes associated with reproductive traits in chickens. This study was conducted to analyze the association of PRL and DRD2 insertion/deletion (Indel) polymorphisms with chicken reproductive traits in Silkie chickens. A total of 380 hens from 16-40 weeks of age were used, with each one being placed in a separate cage. DNA isolation was performed using feather samples, and genotypes were detected using the Indel technique. Two polymorphisms consisting of 24 base pair (bp) Indel in the promoter region of the PRL gene and 22 bp Indel in the promoter region of the DRD2 gene were identified. At both sites, the Indel polymorphisms did not follow the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In addition, with the exception of total eggs over 23 weeks of laying in the PRL gene, the analysis revealed no association between these polymorphic loci and any traits collected. In conclusion, birds with the DD genotype produced the maximum egg yield (73.6 eggs/hen), whereas those with the II genotype produced approximately 9 fewer eggs (64.1 eggs/hen), resulting in laying rates of 45.7% and 40.1%, respectively. For enhancing the egg-laying capacity of Silkie chickens via selective breeding, opting for DD birds with DD genotype of PRL Indel is highly recommended.

Published: October 2023

Maggot’s frass is waste from cultivating maggots (insect larvae) which consists of media from maggot cultivation mixed with feces, skin and dead body of the maggots. The aim of the study was to examine the organoleptic quality, chemistry, worm eggs, lead (Pb) as heavy metal and microbiological profile of maggot’s frass as an alternative ingredient of poultry feed. A completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments (T1: frass media for household waste, T2: frass media for tofu dregs, and T3: frass media for vegetable and fruit waste) and 7 replications was used. The results showed that there was no effect of different types of media treatment on the organoleptic quality, chemistry and microbiological profile of maggot’s frass. The results of chemical analysis of maggot’s frass revealed moisture of 26.39 - 46.26%, crude protein of 10.92 - 16.37%, worm eggs in the dregs media tofu (16 EPG), vegetable and fruit waste (32 EPG), total bacteria of 1.91-4.95 x 108cfu/g, and no any Escherichia coli and Salmonella isolates. Maggot’s frass which comes from fruit and vegetable waste was recommended. Therefore, maggot feed using fruit and vegetable waste treatment is recommended because of its high crude protein and metabolic energy and also without any E.coli and Salmonella contamination.

Published: October 2023

Paratyphoid salmonellosis is a serious disease threatens the poultry industry worldwide, besides its public health hazard. The aims of this study were characterization of paratyphoid Salmonella spp. in chicken flocks of some Egyptian governorates, demonstration of the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolated Salmonella spp., and detection of some virulence genes and antibiotic resistance genes using recent molecular techniques. A total of 238 organ samples were collected from 52 broiler, layer, and breeder chicken flocks, representing 9 Egyptian governorates. Conventional characterization of Salmonella isolates revealed a total isolation rate of 56.3% (134/238). Moreover, the isolation rates of Salmonella spp. were (49/79; 62%), (47/81; 58%), (10/18; 55.5%), (9/20; 45%), (2/6; 33.3%), (2/3; 66.7%), and (15/82; 53.6%) from liver, yolk sac, heart, spleen, caecum, ovary, and dead-in-shell embryos, respectively. A total of 32/238 (13.44%) isolates of Salmonella were found. Serological identification revealed presence of S. enteritidis (21.9%), S. kentucky (15.6%), S. typhimurium (12.5%), S. molade (12.5%), S. takoradi (9.4%), S. wingrove (6.3%), S. infantis (6.3%), S. tsevie (6.3), S. shangani (3.1%), S. bargny (3.1%), and S. papuana (3.1%). All Salmonella strains (32/32; 100%) were resistant to streptomycin, while almost all of them (31/32; 96.9%) were susceptible to meropenem. The amplification of 16S rRNA gene of Salmonella isolates using uniplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) generated a specific Salmonella product of approximate 550 base pair. The multiplex PCR revealed presence of invA (100%), stn (65.6%), and sopB (40.6 %) virulence-associated genes as well as aadA1 (100%), blaTEM (59.4%), aadB (18.75%), and sul1 (28.1%) antibiotic resistance genes. In conclusion, virulent paratyphoid Salmonella spp. are circulating in the Egyptian flocks, causing economic loses. Additionally, they became resistant to the most commonly used field antibiotics. Therefore, regular molecular surveillance studies on the circulating Salmonella spp. and their resistance to the used antibiotics are of significant importance.

Neosporosis is internationally documented as one of the most popular diseases in cattle that cause economic losses due to high levels of abortion cases. Although Neospora caninum has been recently classified as a new species, it is still sharing many features with Toxoplasma gondii. This study aimed to detect and Imaging N. caninum in the blood of aborted cows, and prevalence study of N. caninum infection based on age, region and month. Blood samples from 106 aborted cows were collected using the appropriate method. First, these samples were examined microscopically via blood smears using Giemsa dye to diagnose the N. caninum within RBC. A qPCR technique was carried out to detect accurately 18S rRNA gene accurately. The results revealed that 65% of total aborted cases were positive for 18S rRNA detection of N.caninum, although this parasite was found microscopically in 15% of blood smear samples. According to PCR results, the prevalence study showed that the highest rate of infection was signed in the Al-Qassim district (75%) followed by the Al-Mahaweel district (74%) and decreased in Western Hamza district (48%). According to study months, November recorded the peak of infection (88%), then August (71%), whereas July recorded the lowest percentage (50%). The statistical analysis revealed there was no significant difference between the subjected regions and study months based on (P<0.05). On the other hand, it was found that cows less than 3 years old were more susceptible to infection than those over 3 years old. the results revealed that 71% of infected cows were less than 3 years old, while 29% were at age over 3 years old with a significant difference (P<0.005). In conclusion, N. caninum can be detected through blood within RBC. Age and regional factors in cows play an important role in resisting infection with this pathogen
The Role of Sustainable Architecture in Human Health and Well-Being: A Review.
Authors: Kangkum Evelyn L. A. Allu
Published: October 2023

The perception that sustainable architecture, human health and well-being are related is beginning to gain attention. This is because the human physical, psychosocial, and spiritual well-being are positively affected by built spaces which serve as healthy or therapeutically or medicinal environments to users. This theoretical discourse has identified strategies for designing architecture for health and well-being through some considerations that include; biophilic design, human centered design, knowledge-based design, and socially responsible design. This article concludes that the architect needs to have sustainable education, adapt the identified strategies into design of all spaces and improved knowledge on architecture for health and well-being. Thus, this article recommends future research to explore other methodologies for contextualization and possibilities.

Ahmet Paşa ve Hâfız’da “Ay” Unsurunun Kullanımı
Authors: ÖZYURT Salih
Published: October 2023

Klasik Türk şiirinde tahayyül ve tasavvurlarda geniş yer tutan betimlemelerden biri de kozmik unsurların kullanımı olmuştur. Bu kullanımları sevgilinin şahsında dillendiren şairlerden biri de Ahmet Paşa olmuştur. Ahmet Paşa’nın “ay” unsuru bağlamında ele aldığı kozmik betimlemeler; Fars şiirinin güçlü şairlerinden Hâfız’dan aldığı etkilerle, hatta bu etkileri yer yer muhteva ve mazmunların kullanım biçimi bakımından aşan niteliklere sahiptir. Hâfız, bir aşk adamı ve rint olarak sevgili bağlamında “ay”ı; Yusuf güzeli imajlar, sevgilinin hilal kaşının cilvesine tutkunluk/âşık olma nedeni, ayın kaybolması/sevgilinin gitmesiyle başlayan ayrılık, sevgilinin ay yüzü ile sabahları aydınlatması, ay ağılı misali parıltı ve güzelliğe sahip olması, gökteki ayı güzelliğiyle geride bırakması, bir ay gibi gönle doğması, meclise bir ay gibi doğması/gelmesi ile bin takva ve hırkayı ay yüzlü sevgili uğruna yakma olgusu gibi geniş ve ay misali parlak teşbihlerle anlatmıştır. Ahmet Paşa ise; çıkması ile Ramazan ayını müjdelemesi, ayağına feleğin inci, mücevher saçması, eğri hilal kaşın Akrep burcunda ışıması, Erjengin tuvalinin parıltısını geride bırakması, Yusuf yüzlü/ay, aşığın beden burcuna kılıç misali saplanan güzel imajı, yeni ayı ve feleği parlaklık ve nicelik bakımından geride bırakması gibi sevgilinin benzetilenleri bağlamında ay ve diğer kozmik unsurlara üstünlüğü ve eşsiz güzelliği bağlamında resmetmiştir. Ahmet Paşa, Hâfız’ın anlatım gücüne ulaşamasa da bu teşbihlerden farklı olarak “ay” unsurunu, sosyal hayata ait olgularla da bütünleştirmiş, vuslat-birliktelik-hâneye gelen sevgilinin ay misali ışıldıyan tavırları gibi şuh sevgilinin şahsında oldukça uçarı anlatımlarla da anlatmıştır. Ayrıca Ahmet Paşa, “ay”ı mahbup olarak da görmüş, ona yönelttiği farklı arzular bağlamında da dillendirmiştir. Bu çalışmada, ay misali bir ışıltı ve güzellik bağlamında etkili ve geniş bir anlatımı bütünleyen bu unsurlar, benzer ve farklı yönleri ile mukayeseli olarak dillendirilmiştir. Yapılan mukayeseler, kozmik genişliği misali klasik şiirin zengin teşbihleri ve anlatımları ile sunulmuştur.

Published: October 2023

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the psychoediton program for mothers of preschoolers on mothers' perceptions of self-efficacy and communication with their children. The study group was created by mothers who have children ages between 4 to 6 in Selçuklu district of Konya province. Preliminary test - final test, control group semi-experimental pattern was used. A needs analysis form was applied to determine the mothers who would participate in the study. As a result of the needs analysis, 20 volunteer mothers who needed an educational program and could participate in the training program formed the experimental group. The control group consisted of 20 mothers. The training program is 10 sessions of 90 minutes each. The data of the research were collected by Personal Information Form, Parent-Child Communication Evaluation Tool (ABÇİDA) and Parental Self-Efficacy Scale. Non-parametric analyses were used. In the study, it has been concluded that applied psychoeducation program increased sub-dimensions of communication consisting of speech, listening and empathy; also it has been concluded that it has a meaningful effect on the development of self-efficacy perceptions consisting of the sub-dimensions of interest, discipline and participation. By contrast, mothers' messages and nonverbal communication and care and health sub-dimensions of parental self-efficacy were not affected. In line with the results obtained from the research, recommendations for research and implementation have been developed.

Authors: Kimtai James Kwemoi , Mabonga Joash W.S. , Wasike Nalyanya
Published: October 2023

Urbanisation has caused unprecedented land use changes around urban settlements, leading to enormous socio-economic impacts on peri-urban residents. The spatial growth of urban settlements beyond designated boundaries into the urban fringes has resulted in the transformation of prime agricultural land into commercial and residential uses, effectively altering traditional land use patterns. The objective of this study was to establish the influence of proximity to urban settlements on peri-urban land use patterns. The study adopted a descriptive research design. Both quantitative and qualitative data was collected from both primary and secondary data sources. Data were collected using questionnaires and focus group discussions from a sample of 384 respondents randomly selected from the target population. The data was analysed using Pearson product moment correlation and simple regression analysis techniques. The study established a statistically significant relationship between distance from Kimilili town’s central business district and peri-urban land use change (t = 17.544, p<0.05). This implied that a unit increase in distance from the CBD would result in a variation in land use activities by 46.9%. The study concluded that the proximity of households to Kimilili town has a profound influence on how they use their land. The findings of the study will be useful in addressing challenges associated with urban sprawl in small and medium towns and propose a framework and guide for land use planning in Kimilili’s peri-urban area and other small and medium towns in Kenya.

Published: October 2023

A pandemia pelo COVID-19, foi estabelecida no mundo inteiro no ano de 2020. A doença teve seu início em 2019, na China, e com isso os quadros de síndrome respiratória aguda grave se tornaram cada vez mais prevalentes nos pacientes infectados pelo SARS-CoV-2 (OMS, 2021). Gestantes e seus fetos compõem uma população de alto risco durante surtos de doenças infecciosas (DASHRAATH et al, 2020). As alterações fisiológicas e anatômicas da gestação aumentam a suscetibilidade à sepse. A infecção pelo COVID-19, apresenta alterações patológicas que propiciam uma modificação no estado de hipercoagulabilidade, causando riscos a população já propensa a eventos tromboembólicos, como as grávidas por exemplo (NEGRAES et al, 2021).

Authors: Mendes Celine Aparecida Nastroga , Leal Débora Araújo
Published: October 2023

O processo de inclusão de discentes com deficiência ou necessidades educacionais especiais nas escolas de ensino regular tem gerado contribuições e consequências para a atuação do professor. Uma das consequências é a falta de preparo dos professores, e a ausência das famílias no ambiente escolar. O presente artigo objetiva analisar como a afetividade influencia na aprendizagem dos estudantes com deficiência ou necessidades educacionais especiais, e o processo de inclusão numa escola pública do Paraná. Nesse sentido lançou-se a seguinte problemática: como a afetividade influencia na aprendizagem dos estudantes com deficiência ou necessidades educacionais especiais, e o processo de inclusão numa escola pública do Paraná? A metodologia ultilizada foi a pesquisa qualitativa, de cunho bibliográfico e documental e pesquisa de campo através de formulários e entrevistas. Para tanto, se discorreu sobre as concepções e epistemologias que abarcam as definições das práticas educativa, pedagógica e docente, sob a direção alguns estudiosos como Mantoan (2003), Piaget (1962), Fernandez (2001), César (2003), Brasil (2008) entre outros que encenam a temática pedagógica, especificando o contexto elucidativo que trata do trabalho realizado frente à Educação Inclusiva. A pesquisa revelou que os professores assumem não estarem preparados para a demanda da Educação Inclusiva, bem como declaram que necessitam de capacitações e de uma formação continuada para assegurar o aprendizado aos discentes demandantes desse processo, e que esta que deveria fazer parte do currículo escolar. Conclui-se, portanto, que há a necessidade da criação e implementação de políticas públicas de Educação Inclusiva, bem como a atuação profissional em consonância com estas, e o chamamento da participação da família na escola privilegiando com isso, a efetivação dos direitos previstos nas legislações de ordem global. As reflexões expostas pelos sujeitos possibilitaram considerar que as atuais políticas inclusivas têm sido incipientes, necessitando de medidas urgentes frequentes a atuação do educador face ao contexto da Educação Inclusiva.

Sendo importante salientar que esta situação tem tomado proporções cada vez maiores e corriqueiras. O respeito ao sigilo médico e paciente tem sido uma linha rotineiramente enfraquecida, cujo, os mesmos não atuam com ética, resultando em demasiados problemas para as pacientes, como a exemplo de inconveniências psicossociais. Em viés, é cabível a análise tanto da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, quanto ao Código de Ética dos Profissionais da Saúde.
DAS PENAS PRIVATIVAS DE LIBERDADE NO BRASIL: CONSEQUÊNCIAS JURÍDICAS E SOCIAIS
Authors: Vale Gabriela Alves do , Paiva Jaqueline de Kássia Ribeiro de
Published: October 2023

A condição dos presídios no Brasil representa um dos mais prementes desafios vinculados à segurança pública e à administração penitenciária no país. A existência de conflitos entre grupos criminosos, a carência de infraestrutura sanitária adequada, o excesso de detentos, as faltas de presença estatal, entre outros fatores, evidenciam a carência de oportunidades para a reintegração dos reclusos. Devido a essas questões, é apropriado promover uma discussão sobre a forma de cumprimento das penas privativas de liberdade no Brasil e o presente estudo objetiva identificar os principais problemas apontados pela doutrina, no sistema carcerário brasileiro. Para tanto, utiliza-se da revisão bibliográfica, baseada em estudos científicos selecionados a partir dos estudos de Cunha (2020), Dick (2021), Torres e Nunes (2020), Lacerda (2023) e Santos (2019), dentre outros, cujo recorte temporal se deu entre 2018 a 2023 encontrados em base de dados tais como Scielo e Google Acadêmico. Nos resultados, evidencia-se que a superlotação é um dos problemas mais graves do sistema penitenciário brasileiro. É dela que se verifica o surgimento de outros problemas prisionais, como a reincidência e o aumento da criminalidade dentro e fora das prisões. Desse modo, percebe-se que as penas privativas de liberdade não cumprem com a sua finalidade, exigindo medidas urgentes de solução aos problemas apresentados.

Authors: Ali Sahrish Fatima , Khan Muhammad Umar , Abbas Qasir
Published: October 2023

Difficult emotions are defined as the emotions that are considered to have negative connotations. Researches showed that there are some significant differences in the way difficult emotions are dealt with among genders. This study explored these emotions in women and also focused on finding out strategies that women use to effectively deal with these emotions. A qualitative exploratory research design was used in this study. The sampling technique used in this research study was convenient sampling. The participants included seven female early adults in their 20’s (Age range 21-29; M=25, SD=1.3). Semi-structured, in-depth interviews of almost 60 minutes long were conducted. The collected data was then analyzed through thematic analysis method. Codes, themes, super-themes and clusters were generated after conducting thematic analysis. The results of the study include 5 clusters i.e. “the difficult emotion of sadness”, “the difficult emotion of anger”, “the difficult emotion of fear”, “the difficult emotion of guilt” and “the difficult emotion of grief”. Along with this, after analysis 10 super themes were generated i.e. “causes of sadness”, “coping strategies for sadness”, “causes of anger”, “coping strategies for anger’, “causes of fear”, “coping strategies of fear”, “causes of guilt”, “coping strategies of guilt”, “causes of grief” and “coping strategies of grief”. Two of the themes among all the themes generated in the current study i.e. “challenging thoughts” and “using religious strategies” were found to be common coping strategies among women to deal with all the difficult emotions explored in the current study. Quantitative studies should be conducted and experimental studies should also be done to further provide pieces of evidence for the level of effectiveness of each coping technique, to get more objective results and how much of a long-term effect these strategies have on the individual. Similar studies should also be done with men.

Published: October 2023

Objetivo: Examinar la existencia del duelo complicado traumático como un constructo diferente al de duelo complicado analizando si la sintomatología de duelo complicado y de estrés postraumático es diferente en las personas que sufren duelo complicado tras una muerte traumática y no traumática. Método: Un grupo de 89 dolientes con duelo complicado tras una muerte por atentado terrorista y un grupo de 54 dolientes con duelo complicado tras una muerte por edad o enfermedad completaron el Inventario de Duelo Complicado (IDC) y versiones de la Escala de Verificación del Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático (PCL-S o PCL-5). Resultados: ANCOVA realizados sobre las puntuaciones en los ítems del IDC y en los 16 ítems comunes a las dos versiones de la PCL revelaron que los dos grupos de dolientes no diferían en ninguno de los síntomas de duelo complicado ni de estrés postraumático, salvo en dos síntomas de duelo complicado en los cuales las diferencias iban en direcciones opuestas. Conclusiones: Aunque una muerte traumática como, por ejemplo, por atentado terrorista, incrementa la gravedad de las reacciones de duelo y la probabilidad de sufrir duelo complicado, este duelo complicado es similar al que pueden sufrir las personas tras una muerte no traumática, al menos respecto a sus síntomas y a los síntomas simultáneos de estrés postraumático. Por tanto, no se puede hablar de un duelo complicado traumático como diferente al duelo complicado.

To achieve this aim, a questionnaire was applied to these patients, and it was associated with the blood for serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection. The samples were analyzed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The results indicated contact with stray cats, fresh vegetables, raw meat and meat products consumption. Seroreactivity for IgG in serum samples was 100% (14/14) and in CSF, 6.7% (1/14). In the molecular diagnosis, the presence of T. gondii DNA was not detected. Our data suggests that educational actions on toxoplasmosis prophylaxis are recommended using several tools, such as social media, to raise public awareness about this.

People living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) have decreased functional capacity, muscle strength and quality of life. Furthermore, HIV/AIDS can cause some adverse effects and long-term problems, such as sarcopenia and some peripheral neuropathies. A common practice among the healthy population that helps to modify these risk factors is to practice of some kind of exercise, such as aerobic and resistance exercises. The objective of this review is to assess the possible effects of exercise on the increase in CD4+ and/or CD8+ T lymphocytes among PLWHA. The LILACS, IBECS, PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, SciELO, PEDro, ScienceDirect and Bireme databases were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials. The following descriptors were used in the search in English, Portuguese and Spanish: HIV, physical functional performance, resistance training, and aerobic exercise. The methodological quality of the studies was evaluated using the PEDro scale. The data were read, analyzed, extracted, and synthesized. Of the 3,319 studies consulted, only five met the inclusion criteria. A synthesis of the five selected studies was performed, all of which were randomized controlled trials. It was concluded that aerobic and/or resistance exercise protocols have a positive effect on immunity (CD4+ and/or CD8+ T lymphocytes and TNF-α) and on the metabolic/ biochemical profile of PLWHA.

Keratitis caused by Acanthamoeba spp. is a rare disease, although increasingly common, especially among contact lens users. The occurrence and the devastating effect of this disease are associated with the lack of care in cleaning and disinfecting lenses and their storage cases, as well as ineffective drugs to mainly eliminate the parasite’s cysts. This work evaluated the amoebicidal activity of the imidazolium salt 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C16MImCl) against cysts of two characterized isolates from Acanthamoeba keratitis cases (MZ404337 and MZ404332). The inactivation of 100% of the cysts was achieved at a concentration of 7.81 μg/mL for MZ404337 and of 1.95 μg/mL for MZ404332, both at 24 h and 48 h of exposure time. In contrast, a commercial formulation of chlorhexidine did not cause any reduction in the viability of the cysts. Related to the cytotoxicity to human HaCaT cells, C16MImCl is biocompatible at the concentration required to inactivate cysts. This shows that C16MImCl is a promising disinfectant for contact lenses and surfaces.

Ks. Aleksy Prusinowski jako kaznodzieja
Authors: Iwańciów Adolf
Published: October 2023

W roku 1972 minęła setna rocznica śmierci ks. Aleksego Prusinowskiego, utalentowanego kaznodziei, który zyskał sobie zaszczytne miano Wielkopolskiego Skargi. Prusinowski wsławił się zresztą nie tylko pracą na ambonie, był bowiem i dobrym publicystą i znanym działaczem społeczno-politycznym. Dzięki tej wielostronnej działalności nader szybko zyskał duży rozgłos, ale gdy później doznał niepowodzeń, a następnie, kiedy złożony chorobą przebywał kilka lat w szpitalu, zapomniano o nim niemal zupełnie. Mimo tego, że był on jednym z wybitnych mówców polskich, jego spuścizna kaznodziejska nie została jeszcze dokładnie opracowana. Celem niniejszej rozprawy jest uzupełnienie tej luki w biografii Wielkopolskiego Skargi.

Работа направлена на исследование влияния добавок оксидов K2O, Na2O, MgO, Аl2O3 на плотность и вязкость шлака, а также отделимость и кроющую способность шлака системы СаО–MnO–SiO2, полученного при расплавлении плавленого флюса при автоматической дуговой сварке низкоуглеродистых сталей. Предметом исследования являются физико-химические и технологические свойств шлаков, механические свойства сварных соединений, полученных в результате процесса автоматической дуговой сварки под слоем флюса. Показано, что с увеличением содержания K2O и Na2O плотность и вязкость шлака, а также отделимость шлаковой корки уменьшаются, а увеличение содержания MgO и А12O3 повышает плотность и вязкость шлака. Разработан состав шлаковой основы плавленого флюса на базе рудно-минерального сырья Республики Узбекистан, выбранный на основе диаграммы плавкости тройной системы СаО–MnO–SiO2. Полученные результаты позволили повысить прочностные свойства сварных соединений на 10–12%.

The work is aimed at studying the effect of additions of oxides K2O, Na2O, MgO, A12O3 on the density and viscosity of the slag, as well as the separability and covering ability of the slag of the CaO–MnO–SiO2 system obtained by melting the fused flux during automatic arc welding of lowcarbon steels. The subject of research is the physicochemical and technological properties of slags, the mechanical properties of welded joints obtained as a result of the process of automatic arc welding under a layer of flux. It is shown that with an increase in the content of K2O and Na2O, the density and viscosity of the slag, as well as the separability of the slag crust, decrease, an increase in the content of MgO and A12O3 increases the density and viscosity of the slag. Based on the results of the work, the composition of the slag base of fused flux was developed on the basis of ore-mineral raw materials of the Republic of Uzbekistan, selected on the basis of the melting diagram of the CaO–MnO–SiO2 ternary system. The results obtained made it possible to increase the strength properties of welded joints by 10–12%.

Показано, что комплекс технологических и механических свойств псевдо-β-титановых сплавов позволяет изготавливать из них высокопрочные детали сложного профиля для авиационной техники. Проведены исследования влияния технологических режимов изготовления и упрочняющей термической обработки на структуру и механические свойства тонколистовых катаных заготовок из псевдо-β-титанового сплава ВТ47. Установлено, что степень деформации при холодной прокатке заготовок вследствие протекания рекристаллизационных процессов при нагреве до температур β-области не оказывает существенного воздействия на механические свойства сплава в термически упрочненном состоянии. Изменение температуры старения позволяет управлять комплексом прочностных и пластических характеристик сплава ВТ47 в широких пределах.

It is shown that the complex of technological and mechanical properties of metastable β-titanium alloys makes it possible to produce highstrength parts of a complex shape for aviation equipment from them. The influence of technological modes of manufacture and hardening heat treatment on the structure and mechanical properties of thin-sheet rolled semi-finished products from metastable β-titanium alloy VT47 has been studied. It has been established, that the degree of deformation during cold rolling of sheets due to the occurrence of recrystallization processes upon heating to temperatures of the β-region does not significantly affect the mechanical properties of the alloy in a solution treatment and ageing state. Varying the aging temperature makes it possible to control the combination of strength and plastic characteristics of the VT47 alloy over a wide range.

Приведены результаты исследований получения комплексной лигатуры Fe–Si–Mn–Al. В качестве шихтовых материалов использованы высококремнистые бедные марганцевые руды месторождения Западный Камыс (18–30% Mn и 35–45% SiO2) и высокозольный уголь месторождения Сарыадыр (Казахстан), зольностью 45–55%. Технологические исследования проведены в руднотермической электропечи мощностью 250 кВА. Получена опытная партия лигатуры, со средним химическим составом, %: Mn – 20; Si – 42; Al – 16; P – 0,03; Fe – остальное. Выявлены зависимости содержания алюминия, кремния и марганца в конечном сплаве от отношений (Mnокс+Feокс+SiO2+Al2O3)/Ств и Mnокс/(Mnокс+Feокс+SiO2+Al2O3) в исходной шихте. Показана принципиальная возможность и целесообразность получения алюмосиликомарганцевой лигатуры нового состава бесшлаковым методом с комплексным использованием всех полезных компонентов бедной марганцевой руды и высокозольного угля. Рентгенограмма опытных образцов свидетельствует о том, что фазовый состав сплава представлен в виде интерметаллидов – MnSi, Mn15Si26, Al2Fe3Si4, Al5Fe2, FeSi и структурно свободным кремнием. Полученные лигатуры выбранного состава не подвержены реакциям саморассыпания.

The results of studies on obtaining a complex Fe–Si–Mn–Al ligature are presented. High-silicon poor manganese ores of the West Kamys ore deposit (18–30% Mn and 35–45% SiO2) and high-ash coal of the Saryadyr deposit (Kazakhstan) with an ash content of 45–55% were used as charge materials. Technological studies were carried out in an ore-thermal electric oven with a capacity of 250 kVA. An experimental batch of ligature with an average chemical composition was obtained, %: Mn – 20; Si – 42; Al – 16; P – 0.03; Fe – the rest. Dependences of aluminum, silicon and manganese content in the final alloy on the ratios (Mnox+Feox+SiO2+Al2O3)/Stv and Mnox/(Mnox+Feox+SiO2+Al2O3) in the initial charge have been revealed. The fundamental possibility and expediency of obtaining an aluminosilic manganese ligature of a new composition by the slag-free method with the integrated use of all useful components of poor manganese ore and high-ash coal is shown. The X-ray of prototypes indicates that the phase composition of the alloy is presented in the form of intermetallics - MnSi, Mn15Si26, Al2Fe3Si4, Al5Fe2, FeSi and structurally free silicon. The resulting ligatures of the selected composition are not subject to self-scatching reactions.

The article discusses the changing nature of careers today, and how organisations ought best to respond to this scenario. The advantages of participating in the gig economy and the ways it impacts both employees and organisations are discussed against a backdrop of signalling theory. Organisational practices addressing work-life balance issues, inclusion and diversity, job autonomy, flexibility, attractive compensation packages, and the fostering of an employability culture are all highlighted as sending out positive signals. Conversely, negative signals, such as in extreme cases appearing to have a hire-to-fire policy, should be avoided. The article concludes by highlighting the need for further research into the factors influencing talented individuals' decisions to return to full-time work, as well as the strategies organisations can use to attract them.
