ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC TECHNOLOGIES INTRODUCTION IN THE OIL INDUSTRY OF BASHKORTOSTAN REPUBLIC
Authors:   Ufa University of Science and Technology, Rabtsevich A.A.
Published: September 2023

The article substantiates the importance of the implementation of the project for the introduction of methods for the development of oil fields based on the use of electromagnetic field energy to solve the problems of socio-economic development of Bashkortostan Republic in the conditions of the current state of the oil industry in the region. The author identifies the dependence of the socio-economic development of the republic on the state of the oil industry, identifies its key problematic points: low oil recoverability in the fields, as well as a high level of waterlogging of the extracted oil. The possibilities of covering the deposits of Bashkortostan Republic, suitable for the development of residual oil reserves, with electromagnetic technologies are determined. The conclusion is formulated about the expediency of introducing electromagnetic technologies in the deposits of Bashkortostan Republic in order to support the socio-economic development of the region. The results of the work can be used in the analysis of the prospects of regions with the predominant development of the oil production and refining complex. Further research may be devoted to assessing the immediate and delayed effects of the application of the considered and other innovative technologies in regions with a developed mining infrastructure. The study made it possible to formulate a number of conclusions: 1. The oil industry in Bashkortostan Republic is key for the socio-economic development of the region with various results of functioning: employment coverage, tax, investment aspects, etc. In addition, the oil-producing complex has a significant indirect impact on the socio-economic development. 2. Systematic reduction of oil production in the region leads to underutilization of its refining capacity, which is not compensated by oil coming from outside. The mining technologies currently used will not allow it to maintain an acceptable level in the future. The introduction of electromagnetic technology in depleted fields and, especially, in deposits of high-viscosity oil will allow to obtain significant volumes of oil in the near future. 3. The key effects of the introduction of electromagnetic oil production technologies for the socio-economic development of Bashkortostan Republic are the creation of jobs, expansion of the tax base, additional dividend payments and additional loading of existing refining capacities.

The paper discusses the directions of digitalization in the economy, analyzes approaches to understanding the essence of this process, and also characterizes modern problems and determines the prospects for digital development of the agrarian sector of the Republic of Belarus. Factors associated with increased sanctions pressure from Western states are identified, the actions of which complicate the process of digital development of the industry in the foreseeable future. In the process of research, methods of system analysis, ranking and selection of priorities, as well as economic and statistical methods were used. As part of the study, a significant lag in the process of digitalization of the country's agricultural industry from neighboring states was revealed. The article also characterizes the main directions of the digital transformation of the agro-industrial complex, considers various programs for the development of technologies in the agricultural regions of the country, and identifies specific features of the digitalization of the agrarian sector of the economy. In this regard, full mechanization and automation of agricultural processes are singled out, as well as the saturation of agriculture with digital systems for collecting, processing and storing related information, which together makes it possible to effectively carry out agricultural operations without direct human participation. An important role is also played by the importance of purchasing digital infrastructure for organizing the efficiency of digital agriculture, without which the potential of the Belarusian agro-industrial complex cannot be fully realized.

Authors: Ozer Gokhan , Merter Abdullah Kursat , Balcioglu Yavuz Selim
Published: September 2023

Purpose- A key factor in ensuring that stakeholders can make well-informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date information is financial reporting timeliness. This involves the timely release of financial statements, which are essential for providing investors, creditors, and other stakeholders with an overview of a company's financial status. Timely financial reporting allows stakeholders to react quickly to changes in a company's financial situation and make informed investment decisions. It also helps to build trust and confidence in a company's management and financial reporting processes, ultimately leading to greater transparency and accountability. This study aims to provide a scope review of current literature on financial reporting timeliness by analyzing the number of publications on this topic in Web of Science.
Methodology- A systematic search of academic databases and search engines was conducted using keywords such as "financial reporting timeliness," "audit report lag" and "audit report delay".
Findings- We found that there are more than 150 publications on the topicality of financial reporting on the Web of Science alone from 2012-2023. Over the past few years, there has been a steady and consistent increase in the number of publications dedicated to exploring the topic of financial reporting timeliness, specifically focusing on the audit report lag.
Conclusion- The review highlights key themes, including factors contributing to audit report delays, the impact of audit report delays on financial reporting timeliness, and potential solutions for improving audit report timeliness. The findings reveal that audit report delays can have significant consequences for financial reporting timeliness, and consequently, for stakeholders' decision-making processes. This scope review underscores the importance of addressing audit report delays to maintain timely financial reporting and proposes future research directions for further exploration.

THE IMPACT OF THE 2023 KAHRAMANMARAŞ EARTHQUAKE ON BIST100 AND BIST BANK INDEX: EVIDENCE FROM TODA-YAMAMOTO CAUSALITY TEST
Authors: Cilek Arif , Ergun Mustafa
Published: September 2023

Purpose- The effects of the Kahramanmaraş-centred earthquakes that occurred on 6-7 February 2023 on the Borsa Istanbul 100 index and the Banking index are examined.
Methodology- Between 06/02/2023 – 07/02/2023, econometric analysis was applied by using BIST 100, BIST BANK index and earthquake data consisting of 312 observations. To determine the degrees of stationarity of the variables, the PP and ADF tests were applied in the study. In the series in which Unit Root analysis was carried out, the VAR model was used to apply Toda-Yamamoto causality analysis. Additionally, techniques for impulse-response functions and variance decomposition were also used.
Findings- It has been discovered that the series' level difference is stationary. The Toda-Yamamoto Causality test findings demonstrate a causative link between earthquake magnitude, the BIST 100 index, and the BIST Banking index. In every time, the variations in BISTBANKA and BIST100 are largely self-explanatory.
Conclusion- These findings led to the conclusion that the Kahramanmaraş Earthquake had an impact on the decline of the Borsa Istanbul 100 index and banking index on the 6-7 February 2023.

DESIGN OF ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE AND COMPARATIVE STATIC ANALYSIS IN ADVANCED AND EMERGING MARKET ECONOMIES
Authors: Ekren Nazim , Cinar Muhammed Ali
Published: September 2023

Purpose- In this study, it is aimed to examine the consistency of the economic intelligence systems applied in national economies by taking into account their macroeconomic performance in ordinary and extraordinary periods.
Methodology- In this study, a comparative analysis of macroeconomic statistical data of advanced and emerging countries that have an economic intelligence system was performed. In this context, the difference between a country that practices economic intelligence and a country that does not practice it is evaluated by performing a static analysis on the macroeconomic indicators of the United States and Brazil.
Findings- As a result of the analysis of the economic actors, it is seen that the areas of economic vulnerability should be regulated in order to bring the interests of the stakeholders within the system together in a common center. At the same time, it was concluded that the preferences and priorities of stakeholders should be directed in order to regulate macroeconomic vulnerabilities. In emerging economies, it is being pioneered in order to conduct a positioning study on which macroeconomic indicators should be interpreted in the process of analyzing the preferences and priorities of stakeholders.
Conclusion- Considering the comparative macroeconomic analysis, it is seen that the countries applying the economic intelligence system have a warning system because they can examine the conditions before the economic crises. This warning system ensures that stakeholders are compliant in accordance with the conditions.Due to these developments, it is thought that a break from Neo-Classical economic rules, which gained importance after the 1980s, has begun to occur. Although this break is not a complete break, it shows that there is a search for a new economic norm. In the process of searching for this norm, it is seen that the economic intelligence system is important.

EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOREIGN INVESTORS AND BIST-100 RETURN INDEX
Authors: Guzel Adil , Benli Vahit Ferhan
Published: September 2023

Purpose- The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship of foreign portfolio investments, which are gaining importance in Turkey, with the Borsa Istanbul (BIST)-100 return index.
Method- The relationship between foreign investor portfolio sizes and BIST-100 return index was examined based on quarterly periods covering the years 2010 and 2021. While the data on foreign portfolio sizes and the number of foreign investors were obtained from the central registry, data on the BIST-100 return index were obtained from the official website of the Central Bank. In the study, first of all, it was tested by correlation analysis whether there was a significant correlation between the data. If there is a relationship between the data, the direction of the relationship was investigated using the Granger Causality test method developed by Granger (1969), and econometric methods such as unit root test and stationarity analysis were used to make sense of the findings.
Findings- The causality direction from BIST-100 index to Foreign portfolio value was determined by reaching the one-way causality relationship that the stock returns (BIST-100 return index) are the cause of the foreign investor portfolio value. Therefore, in this research, it is concluded that the performance of the stock market in Turkey acts independently from the portfolio values of foreign investors.
Conclusion- Considering the dynamics and structural features of the financial markets in Turkey, the impact of the sectoral and company-level investments of foreign investors may differ according to the general stock returns. Therefore, although these results do not definitively show that there is no effect of foreign investors, they may reveal different dimensions of the effect of foreign investors, as will be discussed in this research.

Budgetary constraints can lead to financial strain and project delays. Delays in construction projects can occur due to factors like poor project planning and management, inclement weather, labor shortages, regulatory approvals, and issues with subcontractors or suppliers. These delays can result in increased costs, contractual disputes, and dissatisfaction among project stakeholders. Construction sites are inherently hazardous environments, and ensuring worker safety is a critical concern. Failure to comply with safety regulations, inadequate training, lack of safety protocols, and inadequate risk assessments can lead to accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. Effective communication and collaboration among project teams, including architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors, are essential for successful project delivery. Inadequate communication, misinterpretation of project requirements, and lack of coordination can lead to errors, rework, and delays. Maintaining high-quality construction standards is crucial, but the industry often faces challenges in ensuring consistent quality control.
Conclusion - based upon the analysis findings it may be concluded that the difficulties can turn to competitive advantage with better strategic planning, risk management, and management of resources. The construction industry has a very important role in many countries for Economic Development, Innovation, Technological Change, and Growth.

EVALUATION OF MUNICIPALITIES PROVIDED WASTE SERVICES IN TURKIYE WITH CLUSTER ANALYSIS
Authors: Tunali Duygu
Published: September 2023

Purpose- The purpose of this study is to evaluate the municipalities providing waste services in Turkey to significantly reduce the production of solid waste through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse by 2030 in order to ensure sustainable production and consumption patterns.
Methodology- Cluster analysis is carried out and interpreted to classify the average amount of waste collected per capita in provinces in Turkey and the ratio of the number of municipalities in each province providing waste services to the population of municipalities. The data used in the analysis is obtained from the table published for the year 2020 by scanning waste statistics on the Turkish Statistical Institute website.
Findings- In the study, in line with the objectives of sustainable development, the average amount of waste collected per capita in 81 provinces throughout Turkey and the ratio of the number of municipalities in each province providing waste services to the population of municipalities are made. As a result of the analysis carried out, 81 provinces are collected in 5 clusters, while there are 23,13,27,11 and 7 provinces in the clusters.
Conclusion- Sustainability emphasizes that the needs of future generations should not be ignored while meeting the needs of today. At the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit, an action plan was adopted that includes the objectives to be followed for the welfare of people around the world and the tools necessary to achieve these objectives. In this study, municipalities providing waste services in Turkey are evaluated in order to significantly reduce the production of solid waste through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse until 2030, which is within the scope of responsible production and consumption within these purposes, which Turkey also supports. As a result of the analysis, it has been evaluated that the municipalities in which provinces are in the same group that show similarities in the scope of waste service. It is thought that the findings obtained will provide information as preliminary research for those who will work on this subject and will set light on the evaluations and comparisons to be made on a provincial basis.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a multisystem genetic disorder with over 3000 mutations described in the fibrillin 1 (FBN1) gene. Like MFS, other connective tissue disorders also require a deeper understanding of the phenotype-genotype relationship due to the complexity of the clinical presentation, where diagnostic criteria often overlap. Our objective was to identify mutations in patients with connective tissue disorders using a genetic multipanel and to analyze the genotype-phenotype associations in a cohort of Mexican patients. We recruited 136 patients with MFS and related syndromes from the National Institute of Cardiology. Mutations were identified using next-generation sequencing (NGS). To examine the correlation between mutation severity and severe cardiovascular conditions, we focused on patients who had undergone Bentall-de Bono surgery or aortic valve repair. The genetic data obtained allowed us to reclassify the initial clinical diagnosis across various types of connective tissue disorders. The transforming growth factor beta receptor 2 (TGFBR2) rs79375991 mutation was found in 10 out of 16 (63%) Loeys-Dietz patients. We observed a high prevalence (65%) of more severe mutations, such as frameshift indels and stop codons, among patients requiring invasive treatments like aortic valve-sparing surgery, Bentall and de Bono procedures, or aortic valve replacement due to severe cardiovascular injury. Although our study did not achieve precise phenotype-genotype correlations, it underscores the importance of a multigenetic panel evaluation. This could pave the way for a more comprehensive diagnostic approach and inform medical and surgical treatment decision-making.

Published: September 2023

Mail-order bride websites can be easily found in cyberspace. These websites sell Indonesian women to Chinese men as wives. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of women cyber-trafficking in mail-order bride websites, especially the background of mail-order bride websites and their impacts on the victims. This qualitative research used the case study approach and the socialist feminism theory to investigate three mail-order bride websites. This study concludes that the oppression of women on mail-order bride websites is caused by long-standing patriarchy in Indonesia and China reflected in daily practices, cultural manifestations, and literary works in both countries. Capitalism has also played a role in the emergence of mail-order bride websites. This paper suggests promotion of gender equality and eradication of human trafficking in order to minimize cyber-trafficking through mail-order bride websites.
ARTÍCULO INDUSTRIAL: PROYECCIÓN EN FRÍO A BAJA PRESIÓN DE RECUBRIMIENTOS CUMPUESTOS DE CARBURO DE TUNGSTENO
Authors: Villafuerte Vera Julio Cesar , Wang Jianfeng
Published: September 2023

La proyección en frio (cold spray) ofrece ventajas como la portabilidad y bajo costo operativo, además, a diferencia de los procesos tradicionales de proyección térmica, no existen efectos térmicos sobre el sustrato ni sobre las partículas proyectadas como oxidación, tensiones residuales y/o transformaciones metalúrgicas obteniendo así recubrimientos densos que exhiben una fuerza de unión excepcional, lo cual permite que la técnica pueda ser empleada en una gran variedad de aplicaciones. En el presente trabajo se evaluó la factibilidad de proyección en frío de polvos de carburo de tungsteno modificados superficialmente con aluminio mediante deposición química de vapor y con cobre mediante galvanizado, para compararlos con técnicas de mezclado convencional. Se obtuvo con éxito recubrimientos de cada una de las materias primas seleccionadas, demostrando que la modificación superficial es un medio eficaz para elaborar en frío materiales que de otro modo no podrían ser proyectados y se determinó que los depósitos fabricados a partir de partículas recubiertas se caracterizan por un alto porcentaje de fase de carburo retenida y bien dispersada y además por una baja porosidad y presentan valores de dureza más altos que los obtenidos por técnicas de mezclado tradicional.

Since 1991, preprints have increasingly been distributed over the Internet, as opposed to paper copies. Preprints date back to at least the early 1960s, when the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States began circulating preprints in the biological sciences. After six years, journals stopped accepting submissions shared via these channels. Then, in 2017, the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust began accepting citations of preprints in grant and fellowship applications [1], [2].

Graduate Students' Experiences of Multicultural Education
Authors: YILMAZ Fatih
Published: September 2023

The concept of multiculturalism, which emerged for the first time in the 1960s and is much discussed today, has played important roles in the transformation of social structures. Naturally, education is the main factor in this transformation. This has led to the emergence of another concept. This concept, which will appear as multicultural education, has been the cornerstone of peace and coexistence in some societies. Some societies have not been able to realise sufficient sensitivity and transformations in this regard. In this study, it was tried to examine the experience and the process of experiencing the course that classroom teachers took during their postgraduate education regarding both the concept of multiculturalism and the concept of multicultural education. In this context, the phenomenological approach, which is a qualitative research design, was adopted. Research data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Twelve classroom teachers who received postgraduate education participated in the study. The interviews were conducted after the end of the 15-week "Multicultural Education" course. Interpretative phenomenological analysis method was used to analyse the data. At the end of the research, the participants defined the concept of multiculturalism as cultural diversity, cultural sensitivity, richness, freedom from prejudice, respect and harmony, while the experiences and gains were expressed as discovery, individual experiences, personal and professional development.

Bu çalışmanın amacı birçok bölgeden farklı ulusal ve uluslararası öğretim programlarını uygulayan matematik öğretmenlerinin kullandıkları programa dair görüşlerinin, kullandıkları materyallerin ve tercih ettikleri ölçme değerlendirme yöntemlerinin incelenmesidir. Öğretmenlerin anketlere vermiş oldukları yanıtlar betimsel analiz ile incelenmiştir. 7 farklı bölgeden özel okullarda ulusal ve uluslararası programları uygulayan 181 matematik öğretmeni gönüllülük esasına bağlı olarak çalışmaya katılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda matematik öğretmenleri uyguladıkları matematik öğretim programında materyal olarak en çok ders kitapları ve sınıftaki tahtaları kullanırken, somut materyal, alıştırma defteri, akıllı tahta, sesli ve görsel materyal, interaktif materyalleri daha az tercih etmektedirler. Aynı zamanda matematik öğretmenleri öğretim programlarını kazanımlar, öğretim yöntem ve teknikleri, ölçme ve değerlendirme yaklaşımları bakımından incelediklerini fakat eğitim felsefesi bağlamında ise daha az incelediklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Öğretmenlerin kullandıkları öğretim programını incelemeleri neticesinde materyal kullanımı hakkında sağlanan bilgi, ölçme değerlendirme yöntemleri, öğrencinin ve öğretmenin rolünü belirleme ve öğrenme yaklaşımlarını belirtmede mevcut ve yeterli iken; 21. yy becerilerini destekleme konusunda yetersiz olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir. Bununla birlikte öğretmenler uygulamakta oldukları öğretim programlarını becerileri destekleme açısından incelediklerinde programın problem çözme, eleştirel düşünme ve akıl yürütme becerilerini tamamen desteklediğini; analitik düşünme becerisini ise kısmen desteklediğini belirtmişlerdir. Son olarak öğretmenlerin uygulamakta oldukları öğretim programında ölçme değerlendirme yöntemlerinden en fazla açık uçlu sorular ve çoktan seçmeli soruları tercih ederken, oyun, kavram haritaları, dereceli puanlama anahtarı ve portfolyo gibi ölçme değerlendirme yöntemlerini daha az tercih ettikleri ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
On the P-value for Members of the Cressie-Read Family of Divergence Statistics
Authors: Beh Eric , Ting-Wu Wang
Published: September 2023

A few years ago a paper appeared in this Journal that proposed a closed-form approximation of the p-value for Pearson's chi-squared statistic. Extensive empirical and simulation studies were performed and it was shown that the approximation provides very accurate p-values when compared with what we considered to be the ``true'' p-value (obtained using a base R function). It is important to note, however, that Pearson's chi-squared statistic is a special case of the Cressie-Read family of divergence statistics as is, for example, the log-likelihood ratio statistic, the Freeman-Tukey statistic and the Cressie-Read statistic. Therefore, this paper adapts the previously published closed form approximation of the p-value by demonstrating its applicability to any member of the Cressie-Read family of divergence statistics. We also give two further closed form approximations and assess their accuracy by analysing three contingency tables of varying sample size, degrees of freedom and statistical significance of the association.
THE PROCESS OF SINICIZATION OF MARXISM: LI JUNJU’S THEORETICAL RECONSTRUCTION FEATURES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Vilkov Vyacheslav
Published: September 2023

The attributive characteristics of the conceptual approach, which forms one of the dominant ideational and political-ideological trends in Chinese historical-philosophical and social science discourses and provides justification for the narrative that the axis of development of Marxist thought in China during the 1930s–2010s was a gradual process of its Sinicization, are analyzed and revealed based on the study of publications by representatives of the Chinese community of philosophers and social scientists as well as the provisions of the CPC’s basic program documents. The philosophical-methodological, socio-political, and ideological features of such a nationalized version of the Marxist theoretical model, which received the name «Sinicized Marxism («Marxism with Chinese characteristics») in modern literature, have been revealed and characterized by means of a theoretical comparison of ideas from various and sometimes alternative interpretations by Chinese scientists of the history and logic of the relationship between the Western, Soviet (Marxism-Leninism) and Chinese Marxism and, above all, through a thorough analysis of the theoretical reconstruction, done by Li Junju, of the essence, stages and defining tendencies of the purposeful and initiated by the leaders of the CPC adaptation of axiomatics and the political and ideological component of the Marxist teaching to the conditions and tasks of national-state and socialist construction in the PRC. It was the system of his socio-political and ideological prescriptions and values that formed the theoretical foundation of the strategic doctrine of the Communist Party of China — «building socialism with Chinese characteristics».
CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS FOR STUDYING DISINFORMATION
Authors:   National University of «Kyiv-Mohyla Academy» (Kyiv) Ukraine, Taranenko Anna
Published: September 2023

Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is one of productive research methods in the realm of Political Science. It is urgent to specify the relevance of critical discourse analysis as a method of studying disinformation in view of the ongoing fight between democracy and authoritarianism worldwide. For the purpose of outlining the relevance of critical discourse analysis as a method of studying disinformation, the author has utilized the method of case study. As a result, it can be stated that critical discourse analysis is a productive method for studying disinformation. Critical discourse analysis stresses construction of social identities, which can help to study the nature of disinformation campaigns aimed at creating and promoting particular political narratives and reaching wider audiences with the purpose of misleading and confusing. Critical discourse analysis of disinformation spreading can help to deconstruct mechanisms with the help of which the issues of language and power can be manipulated to achieve particular political gains. This is especially urgent in the current so-called era of «post-truth» when opinions and biases can often be more influential than facts and figures. Disinformation campaign have been widely spread globally, especially since 2016 U.S. presidential elections and Brexit referendum in Great Britain. Disinformation is also widely utilized in the information dimension of the ongoing russia-Ukraine war with the purpose of misleading different audiences and achieving political and military gains. It can be concluded that critical discourse analysis is one of the promising qualitative methods of disinformation research. In particular, it is urgent in the context of strengthening of the global confrontation between authoritarianism and democracy. This method can be productively used for researching disinformation in political contexts.
DISCOURSE OF THE PARADOXISM OF CITIZENS’ POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEMOCRACY
Authors:   Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University (Lutsk) Ukraine, Bortnikov Valeriy
Published: September 2023

The aim of the article is a political analysis of certain theoretical positions of the classics of political thought and modern researchers on the participation of citizens in managing society, the role and place of political participation in the development of democracy in general. The thesis, according to which the quality of democracy is measured only by the level of political activity, the scale of political participation, etc., is not confirmed in practice: in theories of democracy, participation is considered as an effective means of expanding the field of public initiative and creativity, limiting the omnipotence of elites and bureaucracy, activities that contribute to the harmonization of social relations and, in general, human development. Both the total involvement of the entire population in politics and the complete exclusion of the broad masses of people from it are incompatible with democracy. Types and nature of political participation, factors and conditions of its implementation, quantitative and qualitative parameters, etc. have been revealed. It is obvious that the democratic reformation of society is impossible without solving a complex of problems of harmonizing key issues of a political system building, creating economic, socio-cultural, organizational-legal, institutional prerequisites and conditions for citizens’ participation in managing the affairs of the state and society. Contradictory consequences of the elections introduction, various forms of mobilization participation, etc. for successful modernization have been shown. The author comes to the conclusion that the involvement of broad masses in the political process, in state administration, etc. is, on the one hand, a factor in overcoming social apathy and nihilism of the population, education of citizenship and a high political culture, promoting the renewal of elites and the democratization of social relations. On the other hand, exaggerating the importance of citizens’ participation in politics, trying to involve them widely at all levels of the power pyramid without an appropriate institutional structure is impractical, as it can harm public administration and even destabilize the political process.

The process of giving effect or attrition on the denim is a situation that develops day by day according to the fashion trends that have developed in recent years. The effect is to try to achieve a more matte appearance by gradually removing these materials by means of paint deformation, while the fiber is not allowed to break brittle on the working surfaces of the particles, where the hard and amorphous surfaces provide a kind of fine sanding function. The aging process is generally done to provide a random wear look and to break the uniform denim paint look. The most important of these can be listed as the difficulty of use, the fact that it contains permanganate, which is harmful to the environment, expected to be banned in the near future, and the absence of repeated use. By using Al2O3 material, which is in the oxide abrasive class, by adding liquid paraffin and TEA, which acts as a compatibilizing agent, at different rates, abrasion slurry was produced and its effects on denim products were investigated. In this study, the effects of particle size of oxide species, α- Al2O3 ratio in Al2O3 specific surface areas and impurities in Al2O3 were also investigated.

Bu çalışmada, aktif karbon elde etmek için hammadde olarak Tarsus-Karabucak bölgesinde yetiştirilen okaliptüs ağacının (Eucalyptus grandis) kök odunları kullanılmıştır. Aktif karbonlar hidrotermal ve piroliz yöntemleri kullanılarak iki aşamada üretilmiştir. Hidrotermal yöntemde suyun süper kritik özelliğinden yararlanılarak lignoselülozik malzeme 200℃ ve 225℃’de kapalı otoklav sisteminde 24 saat tutulmuş sonrasında H3PO4 (fosforik asit) ile 1:1 oranında karıştırılarak kimyasal aktivasyon işlemi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Proliz aşamasında 400℃, 500℃, 600℃ ve 700℃ sıcaklıklarında azot ortamında 30 dakika bekletilerek karbonizasyon işlemi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen aktif karbon numunelerinin taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier dönüşümlü infrared (FT-IR) ve elementel analizi teknikleri kullanılarak karakterize edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre H3PO4 ile kimyasal aktivasyon işlemi kullanılarak 400℃ ve 600℃ sıcaklıklarda üretilen aktif karbonların yüzey alanı 1074 m2/g ve 1069 m2/g olarak elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen SEM görüntülerinde aktif karbonların yüksek poroziteye sahip olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Elementel analiz sonuçları incelendiğinde sıcaklığın arttıkça oksitlenmiş fonksiyonel grupların azaldığı anlaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak okaliptüs kök odunlarından hidrotermal ve piroliz yöntemleri ile yüksek gözenek ve yüksek yüzey alanlarına sahip aktif karbonlar üretildi.
Shallow Fault Slip of the 2020 M 5.1 Sparta, North Carolina, Earthquake
Authors: Pollitz Fred F.
Published: September 2023

The 2020 M 5.1 Sparta, North Carolina, earthquake is the largest in the eastern United States since the 2011 M 5.8 Mineral, Virginia, earthquake and produced a ∼2.5-km-long surface rupture, unusual for an event of this magnitude. A geological field study conducted soon after the event indicates oblique slip along a east-southeast-trending fault with a consistently observed thrust component. My analysis of regional seismic waveforms, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar, and Global Positioning System survey data yields a compact shallow rupture extending from Earth’s surface down-dip to the southwest over a ∼3 km fault length. The inferred kinematic rupture is primarily toward the up-dip and eastward along-strike directions and has predominantly thrust motion in the west, transitioning to roughly equal thrust and left-lateral strike-slip motion in the east. No normal faulting component, as proposed in an earlier geophysical study, is necessary to explain the data. The prevalence of only dip-slip motions observed at Earth’s surface may demand slip partitioning between dip slip and lateral motions at depth.

Advantages and prospects of using optical microresonators for the development of measuring instruments based on frequency combs are described. A principle of a frequency comb generator based on an optical microresonator is considered. An example of modeling the properties of microresonators used to generate optical frequency combs is considered. The influence of the nonuniformity of the optical microresonator’s generatrix on the value of the total dispersion has been studied. It is shown that the presence of nonuniformity on the surface affects the dispersion parameters and can also lead to the effect of mode shape splitting in microresonators. We have shown that this effect is particularly dependent on the position and the value of the depth of nonuniformity.

We propose a new on-chip optical neural network (OONN) based on multimode interference-microring resonators (MMI-RRs). The suggested structure eliminates the need for wavelength division multiplexers (WDM) to create an optical neuron on a single chip. New microring resonator structure based on 4×4 MMI coupler with a size of 24µm × 2900 µm is used for the basic elements of the computation matrix, as a result a higher bandwidth and free spectral range (FSR) can be achieved. The Si3N4 platform along with the graphene sheet is designed to modulate the signals and weights of the neural networks at a very high speed. The Si3N4 can provide wide range of operating wavelengths and can work directly with the wavelengths of color images. The structure's benefits include rapid computing speed, little loss, and the ability to handle both positive and negative values. The OONN has been applied to the MNIST dataset with a speed faster than 2.8 to 14x times compared with the conventional GPU methods.

Authors:   Kuban State Technological University, Selina N.V.
Published: September 2023

A method of analytical study of a metal film perforated by cylindrical nanoholes as the basis of a metasurface has been proposed. The formulas deduced completely determine the electromagnetic field of a wave scattered by the hole at any distance from the surface. The calculation of the transmission and absorption spectra of the studied structure, as well as the dependence of the phase of the scattered wave on the radius of the hole, is carried out using analytical formulas. The calculation results are consistent with the literature data for calculating the efficiency of a quantum photodetector and the phase change interval of light scattered by meta-atoms required for lens design.
