Troubled Water in the Eastern Mediterranean. Turkey Challenges Greece and Cyprus Regarding Energy Resources
Authors: Axt Heinz-Jürgen
Published: August 2021

The conflict between Turkey on the one hand and Greece and Cyprus on the other was exacerbated when Turkey and Libya reached an agreement on the delimitation of maritime zones to explore and exploit energy resources in late 2019. The countries were on the brink of military confrontation. This was the latest climax of a longer period of conflict and mistrust, during which negative perceptions became more entrenched on all sides. Energy is globally high in demand but exploiting resources in the Mediterranean Sea at competitive prices is difficult. The international community has developed an ambitious Law of the Sea, but its interpretation is controversial. Compromises are needed to de-escalate. What might serve as a ‘bridge over troubled waters’ in the Eastern Mediterranean? The author comments on the available options.
Qualifizierung von Gleichstrom-Elektrizitätszählern für Schnellladestationen
Authors: Gräf Kevin , Fischerauer Gerhard
Published: August 2021

In den vergangenen Jahren entwickelte sich der Markt für Elektro-(E-)Mobilität in Deutschland kontinuierlich weiter und damit auch die zugehörige Ladeinfrastruktur. Während zunächst an Wechselstrom-(AC-)Ladestationen geladen wurde, wird nun vermehrt auf Gleichstrom (DC) gesetzt, aufgrund einer deutlich kürzeren Ladezeit. Da es sich bei einer Ladestation um eine Versorgungseinrichtung handelt, die Energie an ein nichtstationäres elektrisches Betriebsmittel abgibt, liegt ein Rechtsgeschäft vor. Dieses wird in Deutschland durch die Mess- und Eichverordnung sowie das Mess- und Eichgesetz geregelt. Eine europaweite Richtlinie gibt es für DC-Elektrizitätszähler in Schnellladestationen hingegen noch nicht. Stattdessen tolerierten die Behörden bis zum 31.3.2019 eine nicht eichrechtskonforme Übergangslösung, bei der die auf der Gleichstromseite bezogene elektrische Energie entweder über die Zeit abgerechnet oder aus der auf der Wechselstromseite bezogenen Energie abzüglich einer Pauschale geschätzt wurde (wenn die bezogene Energie nicht aus Gründen der Einfachheit verschenkt wurde). Seit Ablauf der genannten Frist besteht die Empfehlung, die Schnellladestationen mit eichrechtskonformer DC-Messtechnik nachzurüsten, wofür aber keine einheitliche Lösung existiert. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der DC-Elektrizitätszählertechnik in Zusammenhang mit Schnellladestationen. Daraus wird der notwendige Entwicklungsbedarf bei der Zählerqualifizierung abgeleitet. Schließlich stellen wir die Ergebnisse erster Schritte zur Realisierung eines Prüfsystems vor.
Schreibflüssigkeit im Medienvergleich: Handschrift – Tastaturschreiben – Diktieren mit Spracherkennung
Authors: Schüler Lisa
Published: August 2021

Fluency is considered an essential prerequisite for successful text production. Writing fluency means mastering the basic processes of writing so that cognitive resources are freed up to concentrate on content planning or revision when writing texts. Although the importance of these basic processes is well known, there has been little research on this in a German language context. What is known, however, is that digital technologies can support written production. Compared to handwriting, typing is less demanding in terms of motor skills, for example. Dictation in conjunction with speech recognition in turn supports text production not only in the area of motor execution, but also in the area of spelling. In order to capture the characteristics and currently possible potential of dictation with speech recognition, this study investigated this input mode and contrasted it with handwriting and typing in a writing fluency test (N = 46, 8th grade). The results show that the participants produce longer and more correct texts with the help of dictation with speech recognition than when handwriting or typing. However, there is also evidence that this new form of text production has its own challenges.
Linking Fisheries Policy to Sustainable Diets: The Case of Lake Superior
Authors: Lowitt Kristen
Published: August 2021

The contribution of fisheries to food systems are largely absent from conceptions of sustainable food systems. At the root of this problem is that fisheries are often seen in terms of maximizing economic efficiency rather than local food security. This perspective piece engages with sustainable diets as a framework for linking fisheries policy with broader food systems considerations asking, how would fisheries policy be different if fisheries were governed with sustainable diets in mind? My discussion is oriented around the case of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world and home to commercial, recreational, and Indigenous fisheries. I review the key policies and legislative frameworks influencing the region’s fisheries from a sustainable diet lens to put forward some recommendations for how policy change in support of sustainable diets may be fostered.
Use of plants to clean polluted air: A potentially effective and low-cost phytoremediation technology
Authors: Zhang Bojin , Cao Dian , Zhu Shengdong
Published: August 2021

Air pollution poses a great threat to human health, and it has become a worldwide problem that needs to be urgently dealt with. Many measures have been taken to reduce air pollution and improve air quality. These methods are generally costly and require special equipment. Some plants have the ability to assimilate, degrade, or modify toxic pollutants in air into less toxic ones. It is proposed here to develop plant-based technology to clean polluted air at low cost. This air phytoremediation technology has many potential advantages in contrast with traditional air pollution treatment methods. It is simple, potentially cheap, and easily implemented. Plants to be used for air phytoremediation have the potential to reduce pollutants in air and improve air quality; they also fix carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and help to decrease greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The selected plants can also be used as raw materials for production of energy and bio-based chemicals. However, little research has been carried out on air phytoremediation technology, especially in the basic research area. This editorial gives a brief discussion about air phytoremediation to stimulate more research on this technology and further improve its effectiveness in practical use.

Authors: Lan Tianqing , Liu Haoran , Li Hui , Qin Yuyue , Yue Guojun
Published: August 2021

Lignin-containing nanofibrillated cellulose (LNFC) were prepared from p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) pretreated sugarcane bagasse (SCB) using either formic acid (FA) or hydrochloric acid (HCl) and high-pressure homogenization. The composition, morphology, dispersity, crystallinity, particle size, thermal stability, and hydrophobicity of LNFC treated with FA (F- LNFC) and HCl (H- LNFC) were compared via electron microscopy, an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), a Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR), and water contact angle (WCA) analysis. The results of morphology and dispersity testing showed that LNFC with uniform dispersion were successfully prepared using a homogeneous pressure of 30 MPa and the F- LNFC particles were more stable in an aqueous solution. The crystallinity of the LNFC was well maintained after homogenization. The TGA, FTIR, and WCA data indicated that F-LNFC had better thermal stability and were more hydrophobic than H-LNFC because FA could esterify cellulose. Improved dispersity and thermal stability and increased crystallinity and hydrophobicity of cellulose nanofibrils would enhance the performance of nanocomposite materials.
Effect of artificial inhomogeneity of density and drilling on dynamic properties developed by poplar block species (Populus nigra) jointed with oak wood (Quercus castaneifolia) beams

Published: August 2021

Inhomogeneities in wood and wood products are evident. Sometimes these inhomogeneities are combined with other inhomogeneities such as drilling. Each can have different effects on dynamic properties, and these footprints can cause hidden defects in wood and wood products. In this research, the effects of artificial inhomogeneity of density and drilling diameters (1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm) on dynamic properties of the beams produced from oak wood jointed with poplar blocks (one at the end and the other at the central part of the beam) were investigated. Free vibration on a free-free beam test was subjected for the evaluations. The results indicated that factors such as dynamic modulus of elasticity, acoustic coefficients, and damping capacity, were affected by both inhomogeneity and drillings. The acoustical converting efficiency showed the exact location of inhomogeneity. It also showed the level of drilling diameter.

Introduction: Obesity is a chronic disease that is increasing in Saudi Arabia (SA) and globally. Obesity self-management among individuals is essential for managing obesity and its complications. This study aimed to conduct an obesity knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) assessment and prevalence of used pharmaceutical anti-obesity medications among individuals with obesity in SA. Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between January and April 2021. The participants completed a validated online administered questionnaire using the Survey Monkey website. Potential participants were approached in governmental hospitals, leisure centers, and shopping malls. The chi-square test was used to assess associations between categorical variables. In addition, correlations between the participants' KAP and outcome variables were measured using the Pearson correlation coefficient (r). Results: In all, 410 obese individuals (mean age 40±14 years, range 18–80 years) were surveyed. Overall, 68% of participants reported good obesity knowledge, and 63% reported a good attitude, while 72% reported poor practice. In addition, there were significant positive linear correlations between knowledge and attitude (r=0.44, P<0.001), knowledge and practice (r=0.14, P<0.01), attitude and practice (r=0.11, P<0.05), body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) (r=0.25, P<0.01), while there were significant negative linear correlations between knowledge and BMI (r=−0.20, P<0.001), attitude and BMI (r=−0.19, P<0.001), practice and BMI (r=−0.67, P<0.001), knowledge and WC (r=−0.10, P<0.05), attitude and WC (r=−0.10, P<0.05), and practice and WC (r=−0.45, P<0.001). Interestingly, 67% of participants did not use any approved pharmaceutical anti-obesity medications due to a lack of anti-obesity treatment knowledge and safety. Conclusion: The participants reported good knowledge and attitudes toward obesity, although these were not reflected in their practice levels. The lack of pharmaceutical knowledge, safety, and use of anti-obesity medications contributed directly to poor practice levels. Health authorities should establish clinical and pharmaceutical health education programs incorporating the latest pharmaceutical anti-obesity medications, including their applications and safety, for enhancing self-management and awareness among obese individuals.

Effect of transport vehicles on the grain harvester idle time during harvesting
Authors: Tihanov G.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The article studied the effect of transport vehicles on the grain harvester idle time during wheat, barley and rapeseed harvesting in 6 agricultural farms. In each of the farms one grain harvester and the established harvesting organization were studied without changing the unloading mode and the specific activities performed by the harvester operators and transportation vehicles. By multifactor regression analysis the effect of time for moving the transport vehicle on the grain harvester idle time was established. In addition, the value of the determination coefficient R2=0.54 reveals that 54% of the harvester idle time for unloading the grain hopper (Т1) change is due to the change of significant times and 46% to the effect of unmanageable factors. It has been established that the change in the time from opening the unloading auger to its activation depends on the position of transport vehicles on the field (t1) and the time for their movement to the harvester auger (t2). The results obtained can be used to minimize costs in the technological process of crop harvesting.
The lunula pendants from the cemetery of Frontovoe 3 from the Late Roman Period in the South-Western Crimea
Authors: Mastykova Anna , Sviridov Alexey
Published: August 2021

The flat cemetery of Frontovoe 3 was discovered in 2018 by a team of the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the Nakhimovskii district of modern Sevastopol, in the south-western area of the Crimean Peninsula. The site comprising 328 graves was excavated completely. The cemetery appeared ca. late first century AD and ceased to exist in the late fourth or early fifth century AD. The cemetery showed expressive spatial structure and contained eloquent assemblages with abundant grave goods allowing us to determine its chronological zones. This paper addresses the finds of silver crescent-moon-shaped pendants from graves 13 and 94. Similar ornaments occurred in burial assemblages in the Crimea and the northern Dagestan, Kalmykia, Lower Don area, and also in Sarmatian graves in the Great Hungarian Plain. The lunula pendants in question form a chronological reference point for the Pontic-Danubian antiquities in the Late Roman Period.
A 6th–7th century solitary burial of a warrior with his horse at Tiszagyenda
Authors: Kocsis László , Molnár Erzsébet
Published: August 2021

The site of Tiszagyenda-Búszerző dűlő became known during the archaeological and field surveys prior to the construction of the Tiszaroff Dam. The site covered the northern part of a large contiguous Migration Period settlement, the southern extents of which were discovered within the same project.

The settlement occupying both banks of the Tisza River's backwater had been inhabited for centuries. The first settlers in the Bronze Age (leaving behind three burials) were followed by the Sarmatians (seven burials), Gepids (nineteen burials), Avars (seven burials) and finally tribes of Hungarian conquerors (81 burials). Besides of the linear graveyards of common people, solitary, richly-furnished graves of the Gepid and the Avar Periods were also found.

The solitary grave of an armed man was unearthed on the west bank of the Tisza's backwater. His horse and his dog, cut in half and thrown over the horse, were buried a couple steps away in a separate grave. Grave No. 1660 is of especially outstanding archaeological value. Dated by the solidus of Byzantian Emperor Maurikios Tiberius (582–602), the grave held rich finds decorated with Early Christian symbols. The mounts of the swordbelt and his belt-set refer to Lombard and Merovingian connections. The Gepid-Germanic warrior of Gyenda was buried in the early Avar period after the collapse of the Gepid Kingdom in 567–568, in the first decade of the 7thcentury.

Developing Relationships with Alumni
Authors: Payne Rodger M.
Published: August 2021

For a small departmentin the humanities, it can be difficult to maintain the numbers needed for graduating students each semester. Dr. Rodger M. Payne, Chair of the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina—Asheville found a way to promote student involvement within his department that has proven beneficial well past the student’s’graduation. Despite beginning this work in 2009 following an economic recession, Payne set about increasing student engagement via social events which his department hosted, inviting both majors and minors to join these events. In so doing, he created an atmosphere where the students—who often had commitments to other majors—felt valued and formed a connection to the department that they would maintain even as alumni of UNC.

Craig Martin reviews Testosterone: An Unauthorized Biography (Harvard University Press 2019) by Rebecca M. Jordan-Young and Katrina Karkazis. Testosterone examines the history and uses of the hormone in biomedical research. Conventionally understood as the male sex hormone, Martin learns that the construction of this idea is far more complicated and marred by politics of classification and definition. Martin suggests that Jordan-Young and Karkazis’ study models the kind of questions schoalrs of religion would do well to ask about their own data.

Structure and Formation of the Anguttara Nikaya and the Ekottarika Agama
Authors: Kuan Tse-fu , Bucknell Roderick S.
Published: August 2021

In both the Anguttara Nikaya in Pali and the Ekottarika Agamain Chinese translation, the suttas are grouped into eleven nipatas (“books”), from the Ekaka-nipata/Eka-nipata (Book of Ones) to the Ekadasaka-nipata (Book of Elevens) – though in the Ekottarika Agama the nipatas are not labelled as such. This grouping into nipatas is based on the number of doctrinal items dealt with in the component suttas. In the Ones and Twos, it is often the case that a single original sutta has been subdivided so that its component sections become a series of similarly structured derivative suttas superficially appropriate for inclusion in the Ones or Twos. Moreover, material for this process of subdividing has sometimes been provided by multiplying doctrinal sets with formulaic statements. In most of the remaining nipatas the phenomena noted in the Ones and Twos are also present, but on a much smaller scale. In view of their Chinese counterparts in the Samyukta Agama, some groups of suttas in the Anguttara Nikaya with samyutta-like nature were probably moved from the Samyutta Nikaya to the Anguttara Nikaya within the Pali tradition. Evidence of a comparable movement into the Ekottarika Agama is also available. The artificial suttas created by subdivision and the original suttas shared by the Ekottarika Agama and the Anguttara Nikaya largely retained their original places at the beginning of each nipata, while the genuine suttas, probably earlier located in the Samyukta Agama and Madhyama Agama, were added progressively at the end of the growing nipata.

Implementation of mini-invasive methods of bile drainage in the treatment of blastomatous mechanical jaundice
Authors: Kosulin Stanislav
Published: August 2021

Tumor diseases of the BPDZ (biliopancreatoduodenal zone) occupy one of the leading places among the causes of disability and mortality of the population, both according to global and domestic statistics, while in 85–90 % of cases, patients with distal tumor biliary obstruction are detected. The most common symptom of malignant tumors of periampullary localization is OJ(obstructive jaundice), which is found in 86–95 % of patients and becomes the first manifestation of the disease in 65–70 % of cases.
Purpose. Optimization of surgical treatment in surgically incurable patients with obstructive blastomatous jaundice.
Materials and methods. The study was clinical in nature, it was carried out on the basis of CCH №17 (Kharkov, Ukraine) and the State Institution “Institute of General and Emergency Surgery named after V. I. Zaitsev National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine ") and consisted of two stages. The main task of the first stage was a retrospective assessment of the results of antegrade and retrograde minimally invasive interventions performed in the period from 2006 to 2011 in 122 patients. The main objective of the second stage of the study was to assess the results of surgical treatment of 75 patients with blastomatous breast, who were treated from 2012 to 2019. using the developed treatment algorithm.
Results. At the first stage of the study, the effectiveness of endoscopic transpapillary and transhepatic biliary excretion methods in patients with distal malignant obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract was compared, for which patients who underwent minimally invasive interventions were divided into two subgroups: group A (63 observations) biliary excretion, and in group b (59 observations) as biliary decompression antegrade percutaneous-transhepatic methods of drainage of bilious ways were applied.
Endoscopic transpapillary surgery showed itself to be, not inferior to open surgery in effectiveness of biliary decompression, instead it has a number of advantages, such as low trauma, relative safety, low complication and mortality.
Conclusions. The developed algorithm of bile excretion in incurable patients with blastomatous MF allowed to minimize the number of postoperative complications to 4.0 %, to avoid the development of transient hyperamylasemia and postmanipulation pancreatitis. Endoscopic retrograde methods of RV prosthetics as the final stage of surgical treatment in this category of patients have certain advantages over antegrade methods of external drainage, primarily due to the preservation of the natural passage of bile in the duodenum and better adaptation and tolerability by patients
Implementation of blended education at the faculty of philology
Authors: Budak Valerii , Zaskaleta Svitlana , Oleksyuk Oksana
Published: August 2021

This study emphasizes the need for innovation in pedagogical theory and practice. It highlights the theoretical and methodological foundations of the organization of blended learning in English teaching. The authors confirm a detailed theoretical basis, offer a model of blended learning in foreign language lessons for FLS. A blended approach to learning is one of the most relevant educational technologies today, as it allows you to take advantage of the flexibility and convenience of distance learning and the benefits of traditional forms of learning. As a result of theoretical analysis and experience of university teachers in a blended form of education, aspects that have remained outside of research are revealed. This includes the methodological potential of the organization of independent cognitive activity of FLS. The realization of this idea is impossible without the development and implementation of appropriate learning technologies.

Three main components of the blended learning model that are used in the modern educational environment are identified:

– face-to-face training (face-to-face) is a traditional format of classroom teacher-student;

– self-study learning – involves independent work of students: search for materials using a resource map, online search, etc .;

– online learning (online collaborative learning) – the work of students and teachers online, for example, through Internet conferences, Skype or wiki, etc.
Development of marine gas hydrate deposits with alternative use of the potential of the gas transport system on the example of Ukraine
Authors: Oveckiy Sergiy , Melnychenko Yurii , Moroz Lesia , Yakymechko Yaroslav
Published: August 2021

The object of research is the use of a pipeline system for the production of methane and utilization of carbon dioxide. One of the most problematic areas in this scheme is the substantiation of the effectiveness and the possibility of using the existing pipeline system of countries that are gradually moving towards carbon neutrality of the economy based on the principles of sustainable development. In this case, these principles are implemented through the consumer’s access to clean energy by burning gas obtained from offshore hydrate fields at thermal power plants with the simultaneous utilization of carbon dioxide.
In the course of the study, the methods of mathematical modelling of the development of offshore gas hydrate fields were used, which were developed earlier in the study of methane production from hydrate deposits by the replacement method. Comparison of the block diagram of the development of offshore gas hydrate fields using the existing pipeline system by means of logical analysis made it possible to establish not only the economic, but also the environmental effect.
Data have been obtained that the gas transmission system, provided that carbon dioxide is transported, can be effectively used at various stages of the development of offshore gas hydrate fields. This is due to the fact that the proposed development block diagram has a number of design features, in particular, the possibilities of using the gas transmission system at the stage of development, production and decommissioning of wells are taken into account.
This makes it possible to efficiently use carbon dioxide transported from power plants using the existing transport system to the development site of offshore hydrate deposits. Compared with similar known methods of carbon dioxide utilization, this provides the following advantages: alternative use of the existing pipeline system for the purpose of greening the technology of methane production from offshore hydrate deposits.
The principles considered in the work make it possible to dispose carbon dioxide in the form of a hydrate under the seabed. The achieved economic effect can be considered as income received from the sale of electricity produced at power plants, and quite obvious environmental effect.

Published: August 2021

The object of research is the hardware-software complex of learning Braille. The research is aimed at the analysis of the use of the system of automatic change of modes of the hardware-software complex depending on the results of the user’s tasks.
As part of the development of the project for the implementation of hardware and software for the training of the visually impaired in Braille, there is a need to analyze the operation of the updated control system for the order of output of letters. The solution was a software bridge that connects devices to a remote database server via smartphones, where learning results are stored. To solve this problem, the algorithm for changing the modes of letter output was modified, the module of connection of the hardware and software complex with the phone was implemented, the file structure for information transfer to the database was developed.
After the introduction of updates in the hardware and software complexes of users, an analysis of the training was conducted. Statistics were collected according to the following parameters: selected language, type of game, correct and user answers, mode of output of letters, date-time of answer and operation of changing of the mode of output of letters. The analysis used data on the first and last states of the mode of output of letters for one day without reference to games and languages. The research was conducted over 30 calendar days for 100 users, but the data were reduced to 15 days, as some users were not study every day, and the day of study was taken.
The research showed a tendency to change learning to groups of letters of the highest complexity. Less than a third of users stayed at the first level, which provides for the next update of the software to collect data on the age of the user, because children under 5 years do not learn the letters of the third group of complexity.
Directions of Career Transport Development
Authors: Khazin Mark L.
Published: August 2021

Since the beginning of the civilization emergence, people began to use the minerals extraction on the surface of the Earth and the rock mass transportation. One of the main tasks of the mining industry is the transportation of an increasing rock mass amount from the quarry, which has caused the need to increase the power and carrying capacity of mining dump trucks. Today, we can assume that the revolutionary period of increasing the carrying capacity in the creation of heavy-duty dump trucks is over. Further improvement of the designs of frame dump trucks is impractical. To create super-powerful dump trucks capable of efficiently transporting rock mass from deep horizons, fundamentally different designs of machines and power plants are needed. The most important requirement for promising machines is to minimize the negative impact on the environment. In its development, mining vehicles have come a long way: a hand wheelbarrow - a horse cart - a truck - a diesel mining dump truck - a diesel-electric mining dump truck - an electric mining dump truck - an unmanned electric mining dump truck. According to the law of the transition from quantity to quality, it can be assumed that the period of increasing the carrying capacity of mining dump trucks has ended (quantitative changes), and a new period of qualitative changes begins (the development of new types of mining transport, an increase in the specific capacity of a power plant, the use of other energy carriers, etc.). An important area is the use of artificial intelligence: robotic dump trucks, self-diagnostic systems, etc. The main requirement for promising machines is to reduce the cost of transporting rock mass and a minimum negative impact on the environment.

Toksik olmayan ve etkili doğal antioksidanların radyoprotektif etkilerinin belirlenmesi önemli bir konudur. E Vitamini, radyasyon ile oluşan serbest radikalleri etkili bir şekilde temizlemesiyle bilinmektedir. Bununla birlikte, C vitamini konsantrasyona bağlı olarak prooksidan veya antioksidan görevi görebilir.

Bu çalışmada, Drosophila melanogaster’de gama ışınlamasına karşı E ve C vitamini uygulamasının (ayrı ayrı ve birlikte) antimutajenik etkilerini araştırdık. Bu amaçla, SLRL ve Translokasyon genetik toksikoloji testlerini kullandık. Her iki test sisteminde, sadece erkek bireylere radyasyon ve vitamin uygulamaları yapıldı. Bu erkekler, daha önce vitamin ve radyasyon almamış dişilerle çaprazlandı ve radyasyon yoluyla üretilen letal kromozomları taşıyan bireyleri belirlemek için bu erkeklerin yavruları tarandı. Ardından, vitamin uygulamasının, radyasyonla oluşmuş letal kromozom taşıyan birey sayısını azaltıp azaltmadığını araştırdık. Sonuçlar, E vitamininin letal frekansını yalnızca tek başına ve ışınlamadan önce uygulandığında önemli ölçüde azalttığını göstermiştir. C vitamini hiçbir şekilde önleyici etki göstermemiştir. C ve E vitaminlerinin birlikte verilmesinin, kontrole kıyasla letaliteyi azaltmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

In this study, a new testing procedure is proposed to compare two linear regression models based on a computational approach test when the variances are not assumed to be equal. This method is based on restricted maximum likelihood estimators and some simple computational steps. To assess performance of the proposed test, it was compared with some existing tests in terms of power and type I error rate of the test. The simulation study reveals that the proposed test is a better alternative than some existing tests in most considered cases. Besides, an illustration of the proposed test was given by using a sample dataset.

Соняшникова олія для України – продукт стратегічний. Вона є важливим джерелом валютних надходжень до країни та цінним харчовим продуктом для її громадян. Зростаюча конкуренція на світових ринках, зокрема на ринку соняшникової олії, вимагає впровадження технологій, що забезпечують підвищення якості та зниження собівартості готової продукції. А це вимагає підвищення вимог до точності керування процесами.
У даній роботі для досягнення мети підвищення ефективності виробництва рафінованої соняшникової олії було означено задачу підвищення ефективності системи автоматичного регулювання (САР) параметрів процесу дистиляції місцели.
Аналіз літературних джерел з розробки САР для процесу дистиляції місцели виявив значний резерв підвищення ефективності керування процесом.
Для вирішення задачі побудови ефективної САР процес дистиляції місцели в трубчастому дистиляторі було проаналізовано як об’єкт керування (ОК), було отримано його концептуальну модель, проідентифіковано математичну модель, яку відтворено в середовищі імітаційного моделювання у вигляді імітаційної моделі.
На першому етапі синтезу САР реалізовано, як двоканальну САР температури та рівню місцели. Надалі здійснювалося підвищувалася динамічна точність САР шляхом забезпечення автономності контуру регулювання рівню. Наступним етапом було досліджено вплив варіації параметрів ОК на якість керування. Запропоновано алгоритми керування на основі нечіткого та нейронного регулятора. Подальші дослідження пов’язані з розширенням моделі ОК за рахунок введення моделі концентрації гексану, що є безпосереднім показником якості олії. Запропоновано каскадний контур регулювання концентрації гексану з проміжною точкою: температурою дистиляції місцели. Подальші дослідження пов’язані з доповненням каскадної САР контуром гарантування, що забезпечує підвищення ефективності САР в умовах дії інтенсивних координатних та параметричних збурень. 
На всіх етапах синтезу варіанти САР було проаналізовано на відповідність гранично припустимим вимогам та на «грубість» або чутливість до варіації параметрів об’єкту керування.
В роботі також опрацьовано питання програмної реалізації розроблених алгоритмів регулювання в середовищі TIA Portal та програмної взаємодії з оператором установки шляхом розробки графічного інтерфейсу взаємодії на основі SCADA.
У майбутньому запропоновані рішення складуть основу модернізованої ефективної системи керування процесом дистиляції місцели, яка є інтелектуальним ядром автоматизованого робочого місця оператора.

Для ефективної роботи підприємства необхідно високоефективне управління, яке в сучасних умовах спирається на певні програмні продукти. Питання розробки сучасних програмних продуктів є актуальним, багато розробників запропонували свої рішення.Загальним недоліком всіх рішень є низька гнучкість систем, - для їх адаптації під конкретне підприємство потрібна робота кваліфікованого програміста. На кафедрі автоматизації виробничих процесів та робототехнічних систем ОНАХТ в рамках дипломної роботи бакалавра було розроблено систему управління бізнес-процесом виробництва скляної тари на підприємстві Ілона ЛТД. Створено модель організаційної структури підприємства, яка відображає розподіл роботи по підрозділах і управлінським органам, між якими формуються певні відносини, пов'язані з реалізацією владних повноважень, потоків розпоряджень та інформації. Проведене виділення бізнес-процесів підприємства та створення його процесної моделі, яка описує процес послідовного перетворення матеріальних, сировинних і інформаційних потоків підприємства дозволило визначити процеси для подальшої їх автоматизації. Розроблена BMPN нотація, яка відображує в зручной формі бізнес-процеси, які проходять в компанії, та їх зв’язок, послідовність, відношення до структурних підрозділів дозволила остаточно визначити конкретні процеси для автоматизації. Розроблене та затверджене технічне завдання на створення програмного забезпечення для АСУП, а саме створення програмного продукту зберігання, контролю, обліку і аналізу даних про замовлення, складськи запаси сировини, готової продукціі, постачальників та замовників, результатів інвентарізації, розрахунків сировини для виробництва стало основою для розробки програмного продукту – сайту. Створення інтерфейсів та функціоналу для кожного з керівників бізнес-процессів, яки були автоматизовані забезпечило зручне використання програмного продукту для користувача. Подальший розвиток питання автоматизації управління процесом виробництва скляної тари знайде в випускній роботі магістра.

Виробничі цикли в агропромисловому комплексі часто пов'язані з виробництвом земляних робіт, вартість яких досить велика. Роботи з ґрунтом найбільш економічні при застосуванні ефективних багатофункціональних і багаторежимних засобів механізації. Раціональний вибір методу і засобів механізації ґрунтових робіт, особливо в важких умовах, є необхідною умовою їх успішного виконання. В даний час існує гостра проблема, яка полягає у формуванні парку землерийних машин. Особливу актуальність проблеми додає те, що вартість і функціональність машин для земляних робіт зарубіжного виробництва в кілька разів вище, ніж вітчизняних аналогів. Подолати відставання вітчизняних зразків можливо шляхом технічної модернізації як машин в цілому, так і окремих їх елементів. Це може бути досягнуто шляхом розширення технічних можливостей, збільшення потужності силових установок, робочих і транспортних швидкостей, маневреності, тягових зусиль, тисків в гідросистемах, використання швидкодіючих захватів і швидко-діючих з'єднань для швидкої зміни робочих органів. Одним з важливих аспектів модернізації є проектування і виробництво надійних, багатофункціональних робочих органів зі збільшеним ресурсом для землерийних машин, особливо для тих, що експлуатуються в важких умовах. Запропоноване схемотехнічне рішення зубу ковшу відрізняється тим, що корпус-адаптер з внутрішнього боку має гвинтові нарізи та гвинтову пружину, з якою сполучена коронка зі вставками з карбіду вольфраму, яка відповідними виступами на тілі входить у поглиблення гвинтових нарізів корпусу-адаптера та має ущільнювальний елемент між коронкою та корпусом. При контакті з вантажем при завантаженні під тиском ковшу коронці, завдяки контакту виступів на її тілі та нарізів у корпусі, надається обертальний рух. Це приводить до проникнення зубу у об'єм вантажу, який одночасно здійснює поступальний та обертальний рух. Підсилює ефект проникнення та розлом шарів вантажу спіральне розташування вставок з карбіду вольфраму на зовнішній поверхні коронки.

Abstract Since water is one of the essentials for life, the presence and quality of water in the habitat is extremely important. Therefore, water quality change and management of Lake Aygır was investigated in this study. For this, water samples collected from the lake and the irrigation pool between May 2015 and May 2016 were analyzed monthly. Spectrophotometric, titrimetric and microbiological methods were used to determine the water quality. According to some water quality regulations, HCO3, NH4, Cu, Mo, Br, fecal coliform and total suspended solid (TSS) values were found above the limit values. The other 29 parameters comply with Turkish national and international legislations. Lake Aygır was negatively affected by the surrounding settlements and agricultural activities. It is thought that the water resource should be monitored periodically and remedial studies should be done to prevent parameters exceeding the limits. However, Lake Aygır was generally suitable for drinking, use, fishing and irrigation.
