Experimental study on impact and flexural behaviors of CFRP/aluminum-honeycomb sandwich panel
Authors: Zhao Shicheng , Gao Xuan , Lou Jiajun , Liu Cuilong , Liu Youping , Wu Ye
Published: June 2024

To investigate the impact and flexure behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymers/aluminum-honeycomb sandwich panel, low-velocity impact, compression-after-impact (CAI), and three-point flexure tests are conducted carefully. Four kinds of carbon fiber prepregs are selected to make face sheets by hot press preparation. Further, the digital image correlation technique is employed to record the damage evolution under the compression and flexure loads. The results show that the sandwich structure has two stages of impact response, first, the brittle behavior of the upper panel, and then the resistance of both sandwich and lower panel to absorb energy. In the CAI test, the failure position shifts from the ends to the impact cross section, and the compressive strength can be reduced by 40% only by 1 J impact. The strength of in-plane flexure is at least twice greater than that of out-of-plane flexure. The damage and deformation of in-plane flexure are found mainly in the upper panel and sandwich core, and the lower panel bends significantly.

Tt
2 (RE = Sc, Y, La, Lu; T = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Os, Ir, Pt, Au; Tt = Si, Ge) was synthesized by arc melting of the elements and subsequent annealing. The samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and in addition, the structures of REOs2Si2 (RE = Y, La, Lu), LaAu2Si2, LaAg2Ge2 and LaAu2Ge2 were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The tetrelides crystallize with the ThCr2Si2 type (I4/mmm) except the platinum compounds which adopt the klassengleiche superstructure of the CaBe2Ge2 type (P4/nmm). The transition metal atoms have tetrahedral tetrel coordination and the tetrahedra condense to layers via common edges. The stacking of these layers leads to Tt−Tt bonds in the ThCr2Si2 type phases and heteroatomic T−Tt bonds in the CaBe2Ge2 type phases. The rare earth atoms fill larger cages within these three-dimensional networks (coordination number 16 with RE@T

Systematic multinuclear solid state NMR spectroscopic investigations allowed observing the effect of the involved rare-earth metal, transition metal and tetrel group element, respectively. In particular, 29Si isotropic resonance shifts can be predicted from element-specific increments and interatomic Si–Si bonding interactions manifest themselves in axially symmetric magnetic shielding anisotropies.

Diabesity and microvascular disease: the impact of weight loss
Authors: Farid Siraj , Bashir Bilal , Hamad Adeel , Dhage Shaishav , Ho Jan Hoong , Soran Handrean , Adam Safwaan
Published: June 2024

There is increasing evidence that obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of microvascular disease. Addressing modifiable risk factors such as obesity may help prevent and even reverse microvascular complications, including neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy.
In this review article, we examine the evidence for the impact of obesity on microvascular disease, as well as the effects of weight loss in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Numerous studies have shown obesity to be an independent risk factor for neuropathy and nephropathy in patients with and without T2DM but the association between obesity and retinopathy is less clear. Addressing obesity through weight loss strategies can have beneficial outcomes. Although evidence for medical weight management is limited due to the lack of longitudinal data, there is growing recognition of the positive impact of surgical weight management. Recent studies have shown bariatric surgery to be protective against diabetic neuropathy despite previous concerns from older studies. Similarly, several studies have demonstrated improvements in renal measures after bariatric surgery. Improvements in retinopathy, however, have been less encouraging, with further research required to fully understand the impact of obesity. Overall, managing obesity and implementing weight loss through bariatric surgery has positive outcomes for reducing the burden of microvascular disease.
Inverse free boundary problem for degenerate parabolic equation
Authors: Huzyk N.M. , Brodyak O.Ya. , Pukach P.Ya. , Vovk M.I.
Published: June 2024

The coefficient inverse problem for a degenerate parabolic equation is studied in a free boundary domain. The degeneration of the equation is caused by time dependent function at the higher order derivative of unknown function. It is assumed that the coefficient at the minor derivative of the equation is a polynomial of the first order for the space variable with two unknown time depended functions. The conditions of existence and uniqueness of the classical solution to such inverse problem are established for the weak degeneration case at the Dirichlet boundary conditions and the values of heat moments as overdetermination conditions.

A Dirichlet series $F(s)=e^{hs}+\sum_{k=2}^{\infty}f_ke^{s\lambda_k}$ with the exponents $0<h<\lambda_k\uparrow+\infty$ and the abscissa of absolute convergence $\sigma_a[F]\ge 0$ is said to be pseudostarlike of order $\alpha\in [0,\,h)$ and type $\beta\in(0,\,1]$ in $\Pi_0=\{s:\,\text{Re}\,s<0\}$ if \[\left|\frac{F'(s)}{F(s)}-h\right|<\beta\left|\frac{F'(s)}{F(s)}-(2\alpha-h)\right|\] for all $s\in \Pi_0$. Similarly, the function $F$ is said to be pseudoconvex of order $\alpha\in [0,\,h)$ and type $\beta\in(0,\,1]$ if \[\left|\frac{F''(s)}{F'(s)}-h\right|<\beta\left|\frac{F''(s)}{F'(s)}-(2\alpha-h)\right|\] for all $s\in \Pi_0$, and $F$ is said to be close-to-pseudoconvex if there exists a pseudoconvex (with $\alpha=0$ and $\beta=1$) function $\Psi$ such that $\text{Re}\{F'(s)/\Psi'(s)\}>0$ in $\Pi_0$.

Latin-Foucauldian Partisans? Elements for a History of Critical Knowledge of Security-punitive Power in Argentina
Authors: Seghezzo Gabriela
Published: June 2024

En una coyuntura de avance y consolidación de las ultra-derechas en América Latina, en la que los reclamos securitarios y las intervenciones gubernamentales en nombre del “combate contra la inseguridad” han sido uno de sus vectores más dinámicos, este trabajo se orienta a recorrer los contornos de un abordaje otro sobre la cuestión  de los delitos y los castigos. Durante los años setenta, al calor de las dictaduras y los exilios, se fue forjando en Argentina un modelo criminológico crítico, combativo, partisano. Ese modelo otro es tributario de un ensamble estratégico entre el “efecto Foucault” en la Argentina y la criminología crítica latinoamericana. Puntualmente, se recorren los trazos de ese proceso a través de tres ideas-fuerza: 1) el “efecto Foucault” en Argentina y la criminología crítica son los lazos de una cierta actitud crítica; 2) esa historia se efectiviza en una estructura topológica: se despliega en los vaivenes que experimentan las y los intelectuales de aquí en la dictadura y allá en el exilio forzado; 3) esas importaciones, lecturas y usos de Foucault, desbordan y dislocan la propia analítica foucaultiana.
Could We Designate Long COVID a Syndrome?
Authors: Wang Fuzhou
Published: June 2024

Long COVID has been subject to growing examination as researchers and healthcare professionals strive to gain a deeper comprehension of its fundamental mechanisms and consequences. While syndromes often consist of a group of symptoms without a distinct underlying cause, Long COVID seems to be more intricate. Studies indicate that it could affect several organ systems and cause cellular-level harm, prompting specialists to propose that it be categorized as a syndrome rather than simple lingering consequences of the virus. However, further study needs to be conducted for determining whether there are distinctive characteristics that differentiate Long COVID as a distinct clinical entity from other post-viral conditions. Accurate identification of Long COVID will be essential in guiding treatment approaches and delivering appropriate therapy for patients who suffer from persistent symptoms after being infected with COVID-19.
Alternative Assessment and Evaluation in Science Education: Mind Maps and Concept Maps
Authors: Eryilmaz Mustu Ozlem
Published: June 2024

In this study, concept maps and mind maps, which are alternative assessment and evaluation tools used in science education, were examined. The study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the concept maps and mind maps prepared by pre-service science teachers dealing with the concept of atoms. Thus, it was aimed to describe the concept of atom in the minds of pre-service teachers with different assessment tools. A case study approach was used in the study, which is one of the quantitative research designs. The study group consisted of 15 pre-service teachers teaching science in the fourth grade. Criterion sampling method was used in the study. Attention was paid to ensure that the participating pre-service teachers had undertaken all the relevant courses regarding the subject of atoms. The concept maps and mind maps created by the participants were used to describe their cognitive structures about the atom concept. The concept maps and mind maps created by the pre-service teachers were examined using quantitative analysis. It was concluded that the scores obtained by the pre-service teachers from both the alternative assessment and evaluation tools were close to their total mean scores. It was determined that the pre-service teachers could not advance as the structure grew in both concept maps and mind maps, and they had difficulties in establishing relationships between levels and hierarchies.
Protocol-Guided Learning as a Facilitator of the Integration of Project-Based Learning into Chinese Compulsory Education
Authors: Lu Chang , Zhou Longjun
Published: June 2024

Currently, there are growing conversations about how to successfully integrate project-based learning into regular curricular instruction at the compulsory education level in China. Protocol-guided learning, which originated in Chinese basic education, has proven to be one of the most productive teaching methods in recent decades. It shares comparable educational philosophies with project-based learning and has the potential to compensate for the inadequacy of the latter’s application in Chinese compulsory education by providing effective implementation paths for it. The purpose of this article is to reveal the significance of the protocol-guided learning method for the successful implementation of project-based learning in China by pinpointing the issues the project-based learning approach faces, delineating the characteristics of protocol-guided learning, and expounding on its potential roles in supporting the application of project-based learning in Chinese compulsory education schools.

Published: June 2024

As fontes radioisotópicas de nêutrons permitem a produção de campos de referência para calibração de dispositivos de medição de nêutrons para fins de radioproteção e análises. Quando a taxa de emissão dessas fontes se dá de forma isotrópica, não é necessária nenhuma correção. Entretanto, variações no material da cápsula da fonte e variações na concentração do material emissor produzem diferenças em sua taxa de emissão de nêutrons em relação ao eixo axial da fonte, este efeito é denominado anisotropia. Sendo assim, é necessário considerar o fator anisotrópico relativo às fontes de nêutrons para que seja realizada uma calibração adequada dos instrumentos e dispositivos sensíveis aos campos de nêutrons.

Authors: De Oliveira Salomão Marques , Dantas Ana Letícia Almeida , Dantas Bernardo Maranhão
Published: June 2024

In nuclear medicine services (NMS), workers routinely handle radionuclides for diagnostic and therapy. This practice represents a risk of incorporation by these radionuclides. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recommends the implementation of an internal monitoring program on workers exposed to annual effective doses greater than 1 mSv, as for example, those who handle 131I for therapy in NMS. Currently, in Brazil, there are not enough available laboratories qualified to provide internal monitoring services to attend all possible demand of internal monitoring if it such regulation were applied by the Brazilian Nuclear Regulatory Board (CNEN). The objective of this work is to disseminate simple and inexpensive methods for in vivo routine thyroid monitoring of 131I using equipment available in the NMS. Devices available in two public hospitals located in the city of Rio de Janeiro were calibrated for use in occupational internal monitoring. The equipments evaluated in this work presented enough sensitivity for such application, being suitable to access intakes of 131I in the thyroid and able to estimate doses below 1 mSv.

Published: June 2024

The prompt response to emergency situations involving suspicion of intakes of radionuclides requires the use of simple and rapid methods of internal monitoring of the exposed individuals. The use of gamma cameras to estimate intakes and committed doses was investigated by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) of the USA in 2010.The present study aims to develop a calibration protocol for gamma cameras to be applied on internal monitoring based on urine samples to evaluate the incorporation of high-energy photon emitting radionuclides in emergency situations. A gamma camera available in a public hospital located in the city of Rio de Janeiro was calibrated using a standard liquid source of 152Eu supplied by the LNMRI of the IRD. “Efficiency vs Energy” curves at 2 and 10 cm were obtained. Calibration factors, Minimum Detectable Activities and Minimum Detectable Effective Doses of the gamma camera were calculated for 131I and 137Cs. The gamma camera evaluated in this work presents enough sensitivity to detect activities of such radionuclides at dose levels suitable to assess suspected accidental intakes.

Published: June 2024

Background and Aims: The environmental factors, apart from gluten ingestion predisposing to coeliac disease are poorly known. Smoking is associated with many immune-mediated diseases, but research on coeliac disease is scarce. This study aims to investigate how smoking affects the clinical presentation, presence of comorbidities and response to gluten-free diet in coeliac disease.
Methods: Altogether 815 adults with coeliac disease participated in a nationwide cross-sectional study. Participants were interviewed and smoking habits (never, former, or current smoker), clinical presentation of coeliac disease and presence of comorbidities were elicited. Serology and severity of small bowel mucosal lesions at diagnosis were gathered from the participants’ medical records and follow-up serology was measured. Gastrointestinal symptoms and psychological well-being were assessed using validated questionnaires.
Results: Current smokers were more often male and were diagnosed at younger ages than never or former smokers. There were no differences between the groups in clinical presentation, severity of symptoms or mucosal lesions at diagnosis or in dietary compliance and clinical, serological, and histological recovery. Musculoskeletal disorders, particularly osteoporosis and osteopenia, were more common in never smokers than in other groups (14.5% vs. 5.1% and 4.1%, p<0.001), and cardiovascular disorders were diagnosed more often in former smokers (36.2% vs. 23.5% and 21.9%, p=0.003).
Conclusions: Smoking does not seem to have an impact on the clinical presentation, severity of symptoms or mucosal damage in coeliac disease. Histological and clinical recovery as well as seroconversion on gluten-free diet are not affected by smoking status.

Published: June 2024

Background and Aims: Colonoscopy has a vital role in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as well as in the estimation of disease severity, monitoring response to therapy, and surveillance for neoplasia. We performed a systematic review of randomised trials of various bowel preparations for colonoscopy in IBD.
Methods: We searched various electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL) for studies reporting about the use of various strategies to improve colonoscopy preparation in IBD. We included only randomized clinical trials (RCTs). A network meta-analysis was done using a frequentist approach to compare the effectiveness of various bowel preparations. The risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane risk of bias tool 2.0. Other outcome parameters like compliance, tolerance, acceptance, and adverse effects were assessed qualitatively.
Results: Seven RCTs reporting about 960 patients were included. On comparison with 4 liter (L) of poliethylen glycol (PEG), oral sulfate solution (OR=1.1, 95%CI: 0.65-1.86); PEG2L/Ascorbate (OR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.65-1.48); PEG1L (OR=1, 95%CI: 0.55-1.81); PEG2L plus bisacodyl (OR=1.08, 95%CI: 0.71-1.65); PEG4L plus simethicone (OR=1, 95%CI: 0.67-1.50); PEG/ sodium picosulfate and magnesium citrate (SPMC) 1.5L (OR=0.99, 95%CI: 0.55-1.78); SPMC 2L (OR=1.09, 95%CI: 0.61-1.97) had similar effectiveness. Three RCTs reported compliance, five RCTs reported tolerance, two studies reported patient acceptance and five RCTs reported data on the willingness of patients to repeat the procedure in the future. Low-volume preparations had better compliance, tolerance, acceptance, and willingness to repeat. No difference in additional outcomes like change in disease activity after colonoscopy, procedure-related outcomes after colonoscopy like cecal intubation rate, and change in electrolyte levels were found.
Conclusion: Various bowel preparations had similar effectiveness in respect to colonoscopy preparation in IBD patients. Low-volume preparations have better compliance, tolerance, and acceptance. The systematic review was limited by a small number of included RCTs.

Background and Aims: Recent research has shown that Western-style diets have been associated with an increased risk of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Our aim was to examine the link between an anti-inflammatory diet and the maintenance of IBD remission, as well as to assess the potential therapeutic advantages of this dietary approach in preserving IBD remission.
Methods: The inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to a total of 189 individuals with IBD, with 21 individuals not meeting the criteria. Therefore, 168 eligible patients were enrolled in the study and allocated to either an anti-inflammatory diet or a regular diet, based on their personal preference.
Results: A cohort of 168 IBD adult patients was recruited for the study: 88 patients with ulcerative colitis and 80 with Crohn‘s disease. The intervention group received an anti-inflammatory diet consisting of the removal of red and processed meat, fried foods, high-lactose foods, fast food, white bread, sugar, and vegetable oils rich in omega-6 for a period of 1 year. The clinical response was maintained in 80 patients (95.2%) in the intervention group and in 72 patients (85.7%) in the control group (p-value=0.036). Although not statistically significant, fecal calprotectin was higher in the control group than in the intervention group at follow-up.
Conclusions: Patients who adhered to an anti-inflammatory diet exhibited a higher rate of maintenance of clinical remission. Furthermore, improvement in inflammation tests was observed in the intervention group, reinforcing the proposition that IBD is a lifestyle-related disease.

Published: June 2024

Cancer, nowadays, is one of the most lethal diseases spreading across the world. Cancer is a group of diseases where cells grow and divide in a disorderly fashion and destroy body’s normal functioning. Cancer is induced by the current living style and can be cured if it is discovered in an early phase. Treatment of cancer relies upon numerous internal and external elements which induce cancer. Cancer is concealed by many distinct health examinations and its treatment is available at present such as precision medicine such as genomic profiling, targeted therapy like Imatinib, immunotherapy such as the full form of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Therapy, emerging technologies like Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-CRISPR associated protein 9 gene editing, combination therapies, etc. Nano-theranostics is the next generation medicine which is the inclusion of analysis and interpretation in nano-formulations. Non-invasive methods of diagnosis such as liquid biopsies are a major evolution which can be used for early phase diagnosis of cancer. Hereinafter WHO estimates that cancer caused 9.6 million deaths and around 29.4 million cases of cancer are expected to be diagnosed until 2040.

A critical review of canines used to detect accelerants within an arson crime scene
Authors: O’Hagan Andrew , Ellis Harriet
Published: June 2024

Accelerant detection canines provide a fundamental role in arson investigations. Statistically, arson and criminal damage accounts for 9 per 1,000 population in the UK.1 Before 1996, fire investigators relied on the olfactory system and basic accelerant detection equipment to locate accelerant traces within arson crime scenes. As a result, canines were adopted as their superior olfactory system was producing precise detections than those of technical equipment. This review proposes that despite their strong sense of smell, the accuracy of detections remains fundamentally unanswered. Although current literature demonstrates extraordinary results from accelerant detection canines, further developments and critical evaluations are required to ensure the process meets forensic standards of practice.

Published: June 2024

Autism is a complex disorder characterized by a series of conditions and symptoms that classify it as an autism spectrum disorder, with relevant physiological and biochemical factors, and core symptoms that include social deficits and restrictive/repetitive behaviors. This condition triggers changes in family life due to the child's needs for growth and development. We sought to report experiences of families of children with autism spectrum disorder and their life changes. Descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach, which was carried out at the Associação de Equoterapia de Alagoas, located in the city of Maceió-AL, from June to July 2022. Interviews, genograms, ecomaps and life narratives were used for collection. Five families monitored by the institution and whose children were diagnosed with ASD and aged between 5 and 12 years participated. The results reveal the understanding of the daily lives of parents of children with ASD with the aim of promoting and listing contributions to nursing, with a view to enhancing more representativeness and autonomy in the care of children with such specificities, with the intention that in the consultations themselves of nursing that screening is increasingly effective. The study also raised reflections and challenges in facing changes in the face of children's needs in the face of challenging social and health contexts.

Objective: And ultimate goal of this paper is to describe a realistic future in how humanity and life can survive immortally by creating humanoid robots from a human master with a consciousness of the human who would serve the human master as a companion and learn everything about the consciousness of the human master. The Contributions: Are to present a groundbreaking methodology for the immortality of humanoid robots with a human consciousness. In this paper, we emphasize that the current humanoid robotics technologies have reached the sophistication to design and fabricate intelligent AI computers to allow humanoids to survive immortally. Once human life is close to being over (age or sickness), the humanoid will take over and can stay alive as long as it has the necessary energy to live on.

Water problems related to scarcity, shortages, unhealthiness and shortages have been identified as guiding axes of the research agenda at a global and local level, but public policies from the administration at the federal or local level face a decoupling that the present study proposed analyze. A documentary, exploratory and retrospective work was carried out with a sample of sources indexed to international repositories. The results show the prevalence of nine dimensions related to access, coverage, quality, security, reliability, continuity, financing, cost, governance, regulation, sustainability, commitment, hygiene, technology and innovation. In relation to the state of the art, the extension and orientation of the study towards the differences between the federal and local administration levels is recommended.
Environmental damages of natural components of Karabakh region of Republic of Azerbaijan
Authors: Bayramova Lale A.
Published: June 2024

The Karabakh region, located in the eastern and southeastern ridges of the Lesser Caucasus in Azerbaijan, has a rich historical and geographical significance. However, following the collapse of the USSR, Karabakh declared independence from Azerbaijan, leading to decades of illegal military control by Armenia, fundamentally contradicting international law and Azerbaijan’s official borders. This occupation severely impacted the region’s natural and economic structures, weakening its economic infrastructure and depleting natural resources. This research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the environmental degradation occurred in Karabakh and the surrounding districts during nearly three decades of occupation. The study focuses on various natural com- ponents, including water sources, soil, subsoil resources, mineral resources, and biodiversity, with a specific emphasis on the innovative Smart Village Aghaly project in Zangilan. The primary objective of this article is to underscore the disruption of natural complexes in the liberated regions of Azerbaijan, the restoration of ecological balance, and restoring of harmonious relationships between nature and society. The research highlights the complexity of interactions between humanity and the environment in the context of regenerating land- scapes and natural monuments damaged by prolonged military aggression. The findings reveal extensive ecological damage, including pollution of water resources, destruction of biodiversity, plundering subsoil reserves, and degradation of soil assets. The paper emphasizes the critical need for comprehensive restoration efforts and strategic interventions to address these challenges. By integrating ecological and geographical analysis, statistical data, field and expedition reports, and satellite imagery, this study provides a detailed assessment of the environmental impact on Karabakh. The research underscores the importance of international cooperation and adherence to environmental protection conventions to prevent future ecological damage and ensure sustainable management of natural resources.
Geodynamic Aspects of Geological Development of the Terek-Caspian Trough: A Study of Oil- and-Gas Potential
Authors: Pogorelova Yelena Yu. , Abbasova Gizgayit G. , Abdulla-zada Murad Ch.
Published: June 2024

The Terek-Caspian trough is a tectonic unit at the junction of two structural elements of different age and composition. This is a megatrough with promising oil-generating properties, which has attracted academic and commercial interest since the century before last. The uniqueness of this higher-order structure lies in the fact that its constituent elements of the second order have different basement age, geomorphology, lithology, facies composition, phase composition of hydrocarbons, while remaining a single geostructural element. This article is aimed at identifying new foci of oil and gas formation and accumulation of hydrocarbons. The main method was the geodynamic approach to interpreting the available geological and geophysical data. In particular, it has been established for sure nowadays that most of the world’s hydrocarbon accumulations are associated, firstly, with zones of convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates, and, secondly, with sedimentary-rocks basins developed within the above boundaries. These are exemplified by back-arc troughs, pre-arc foredeep troughs, and inter-arc sedimentation basins formed during the development of the Terek-Caspian segment of the Alpine-Himalayan folded belt. At the same time, the Terek-Caspian trough is an integral part of the Black Sea-Caspian region, a highly productive object of hydrocarbon accumulations. These structures provide a comprehensive range of all geological situations that can contribute to the formation and accumulation of hydrocarbons. The article presents a stratigraphic refinement of some geological and structural units based on the analysis of the chemical composition of volcanites, determines the petrographic composition of rocks by the propagation velocities of seismic waves and substantiates the sources of oil and gas formation and accumulations of hydrocarbons based on the geodynamic model of the region. Innovative methods are proposed in the search and exploration of hydrocarbons, based both on an iterative approach to the forecast of oil and gas potential, and on a methodological one. The probability of detecting unconventional accumulations of hydrocarbons is substantiated due to favorable geological conditions for their formation during the development of this region and the presence of precedents in certain areas (volcanogenic rocks, positive magnetic anomalies, etc.). The obtained data are of practical importance for theoretical geologists, oil geologists, prospectors and developers.
Influence of sand-gravel quarrying on the river bed and environment (the case of Valvalachay river)

The main purpose of this article is to evaluate the influence of sand-gravel quarrying from the river bed on the bed deformation and the environment. Sand and gravel reserves are the second largest produced and traded resource after water. Every year, the demand for these materials in the world is 40-50 billion m3. Large-scale quarrying of sand and gravel from sea coasts and river beds leads to serious problems. Thus, the sand and gravel quarried from the sea shores cause flooding of the coastal zones, and the quarrying from the river beds leads to strong deformations. The sand resources produced from the seashores in Azerbaijan do not meet the current growing demand in the ever-expanding construction sector, and at the same time, they do not meet the quality standards. Therefore, the quarrying of sand and gravel from river beds has become an increasingly important process. Production of sand and gravel from river beds seriously impacts not only bed deformation but also the environment, flora, and fauna. The expansion of the river bed has led to the destruction of the forest areas, and the deepening has led to the depletion and disappearance of fish resources. Excavation works in the river bed also affect the infrastructure. Thus, the soil-cement road passing near the area where the excavation works were carried out, the bridge, and the electric columns have undergone influence. Therefore, as a result of the impact of anthropogenic factors in the Valvalachay River, the damage it caused to the environment was studied. Many parameters were measured in the Valvelachay River, and water consumption entering and leaving the holt was compared. For observation of changes along the river, a longitudinal profile in the study area was compiled based on the DEM (Digital Elevation Model) and topographic measurements in the ArcGIS program. Based on topographical and bathymetric measurements, it was determined that the depth in the part where the bed is deepened (the place where cobble gravel is mined) varies between 1.5-2 meters.
