Before a mineral deposit can be developed deeper, a geomechanical survey should be carried out to determine the stress tensor of the rock mass. The most common in situ stress measurement techniques include the methods of hydraulic fracturing and overcoring. Each of them has its advantages and its drawbacks. The authors of this paper propose to conduct two stages of numerical modelling in order to enhance the efficiency of measurements performed by overcoring method. The first stage involves building a model of drilling to determine the optimum drilling depth. At the second stage, a core drilling model is built. Absolute transverse strains have been determined in reference points of a pilot borehole at each stage of core drilling. The created simulation models help choose the drilling depth of coaxial boreholes, estimate the potential growth of plastic strains that cause core destruction, define the amount of overdrilling to be done to coaxial boreholes and determine the optimum location for the measurement tools. The developed models can also be used to determine stresses by inverse problem solving.

The authors carried out a mineralogical study and substantiated a concentration process developed for the lead-zinc ores of the Pavlovsk deposit. The concentration of the valuable component in each type of concentrate is determined by the amount of pyrite contained in the ore. It was established that the main loss of lead with flotation tailings is associated with oxidized phases, which are mainly found in fine material. Lead sulphides account for 30% of the entire waste tailings. Using the results of the mineralogical study, a flotation process was developed that involves a staged separation of commercial lead and zinc concentrates, as well as waste tailings. The obtained zinc concentrate has a consistently high quality of 57–58% with an 85–90% recovery. The metal concentration in the lead concentrate 1 is 45%, with the recovery being 43%. On the basis of the experimental results, the authors propose to use an X-ray radiometric separation method for coarse ore, which will help reduce the amount of incoming ore by 30% while minimizing the loss of lead and zinc.

Geological mapping is included in each stage of geological prospecting. How detailed and consistent the obtained data are directly depends on how thoroughly an object has been studied. The main purpose of geological mapping is to identify areas with uniform ore and to give recovery projections. Gipronikel Institute has been engaged in such work for 30 years and has accumulated a great number of successful practices. As an example, this paper describes the results of geological mapping that was done for the Zhdanov deposit of copper-nickel sulphide ores in the Kola Peninsula. This study resulted in identifying geological types of ores (such as raw, refractory and talcose ores), which can be processed following the same process sequence but with different performance. The key differentiation criteria included the concentration of valuable components, the share of coarsely disseminated sulphides in the total amount of sulphides contained in a sample, the concentration of the easily floatable mineral — i.e. talc. Due to high variability in the material composition of striking and dipping ore bodies, the deposit has seen geological mapping conducted continuously for more than 10 years. Over that period, a database was created showing the distribution of different geological types of ore and the variability in the estimated recovery of nickel and copper, which is used for concentrator plant operations planning based on prospecting data.

This paper describes the test methods that were applied to three ingots of high-copper converter matte with the weight ratio of Cu:Ni ~ 2.3 at Polar Division of PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel to determine their cooling rate. The obtained results are also discussed. A test heat was done in the converter of the Nadezhdinski Metallurgical Plant, during which the following compositions were closely monitored: that of middlings; that of the finished matte that was discharged at 1,255–1,260 оС and poured in molds at 1,200 and 1,140 оС; and that of metallized matte that was intentionally overheated to 1,285–1,290 оС and poured at 1,200 оС. The cooling time was 82 and 93 hours (for capped ingots). The temperature was monitored with the help of six chromel-alumel thermocouples located at the level of 1,350, 850 and 350 mm from the bottom; three of them in the centre and the other three on a side. The ingots were crushed at the Nickel Plant, and a ~300 kg representative sample with the size of 3 mm was taken from each ingot for flotation tests. Spot samples were taken from the temperature monitoring areas for structural characterization. Based on experimental data, functional dependencies were derived with R2 0.99 that describe the obtained cooling curves. It is shown that due to the use of insulation cap in the structure defining temperature range of 1,150–750 оС, the cooling rate of the ingot top can be considerably decreased (approximately by three times). It is equal to 28–29 оС/h. In the vertically central part of all test ingots — i. e. ~850 mm from the bottom both in the centre and on a side, the cooling rates vary in the range of ~9–10.5 оС/h; in lower monitoring points — i. e. 350 mm from the bottom, they are equal to 24–33 оС/h. The cooling rate of the overheated matte at the top drops to 67 versus 87 оС/h for the uncapped ingot, whereas in the centre and at the bottom it almost remains the same.

Copper-nickel sulphide ores serve as the main source of nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals in Russia. The conventional metallurgy of proces sing copper-nickel sulphide concentrates involves producing converter matte and its further refining. Ores found in the Voronezh Region are characterized with high concentrations of arsenic and magnesium, which hinders the application of pyrometallurgical techniques. At the same time, there is a trend in today’s science and industry to develop and adopt hydrometallurgical techniques, and this also applies to copper-nickel sulphide ores. Such techniques enable comprehensive utilization of ore and are environmentally friendly, highly efficient and easily automatable. The paper examines a number of well-known hydrometallurgical techniques for processing copper-nickel sulphide concentrates. Some of them have been implemented in industry and some have been studied by several authors on a laboratory or pilot scale. The most advanced techniques were identified for the ore concentrates obtained from the Voronezh Region ores. Studies were conducted in hydrometallurgical processing of copper-nickel ore concentrates of varying composition, including the copper-nickel concentrates obtained from the Voronezh ores. It is shown that these techniques can potentially be applied to copper-nickel concentrates, including those which have high concentrations of impurities, which would not be acceptable for conventional processing technology. Having analyzed the available solutions, as well as the results of the conducted studies, the authors have come to a conclusion that pressure oxidation leaching would offer the most innovative technology to be applied to the Voronezh Region ores.

It is shown that increasing the role of control methods, identifying patterns and accuracy of performing technological operations, establishing the relationship between the characteristics of the technological process and the yield of suitable products, will ensure the reproducibility of technology and the formation of instrument structures with specified parameters. In the technological process of production, instrument structures are formed and constructive and technological foundations are implemented, on which the specified parameters are established in technological and final tests. Providing the specified parameters of device structures, depending on the production processes, is carried out on the basis of increasing the dielectric strength of oxide layers, improving the production process, and reducing the number of defects in oxide films. Improving the cleanliness during the production process allows you to reduce the level of defective structures. The inconsistency of the coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials used is the cause of failures of elements of integral electronics and a decrease in their reliability. Analysis of thermal effects and associated mechanical loads allows one to assess the optimality of the selected materials and to clarify the likely failure mechanisms. Knowledge of the failure mechanisms makes it possible to calculate the reliability of the device at the design stage, as well as to predict the reliability of the equipment being developed. The reproducibility of the technology is ensured by conducting a statistical analysis of the technological process, containing statistical processing, establishing statistical relationships between parameters, determining the regularities of the technological process, constructing regression models for the relationship between the yield of good products and modes of technological operations, and analyzing the stability of the technological process. The traceability of the relationship between the parameters of instrument structures and the technology of their manufacture allows to reduce the level of their defectiveness, statistical regulation, based on the measured values of the parameters, and determining their position relative to the regulation limits, ensures the accuracy of the production process.

Published: December 2020

Online shopping is becoming increasingly important in the current era, rendering comprehension of consumer online shopping habits crucial. This notion rings true in the context of users and companies alike, thereby emerging as a big concern for e-commerce managers and researchers. One may assume that only by understanding the factors influencing consumer buying intentions for fashion items online will companies be better-positioned for meeting consumer needs. In this analysis, the relationship between customer online purchasing intentions and selected factors was investigated, specifically consumer innovativeness, fashion innovativeness, and fashion involvement. Quantitative research was implemented in the process, involving fashion online shoppers in Malaysia as the respondents after being selected via quota sampling from the ten most popular fashion shopping websites in Malaysia. The statistical method of Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was then employed for the proposed model testing. The findings subsequently revealed the positive effects of consumer innovativeness, and fashion involvement on online purchase intention, whereas any significant relationship between the variable with fashion innovativeness was absent. However, this analysis was conducted in Malaysia; therefore, the results could be different if tested in other countries. Hence, similar studies related to fashion online purchase intention should be replicated in other Asian countries in the future.

Published: December 2020

There are three main groups of tourist and recreational resources of Japan: natural and recreational, cultural, historical and socio-economic, which became the basis for the development of health, skiing, resort and beach, cultural and cognitive, medical and business tourism. The peculiar­ities of the tourist infrastructure are analyzed: accommodation establishments, food establishments, transport network and leisure establishments. The market of accommodation facilities is represented by hotels of various classes – from expensive five-star luxury hotels to business hotels, boarding houses and hostels, where you can rent a room at a more affordable price. The traditional Japanese atmosphere is presented in Ryokan hotels. As for restaurants, in the Land of the Rising Sun you can taste delicious high-quality traditional dishes from the freshest products at almost every turn, even in small towns, not to mention large cities. There are traditional, Japanese-style, high-end restaurants with European interiors and mixed-type establishments. Ryotey is kind of authentic Japenese restaurants which deserve special attention. There are well-developed leisure facil­ities in Japan. New complexes of entertainment establishments are constantly being built. The most popular are water parks, karaoke bars, slot machines, anime studios. Tea ceremony, fireworks festival, snow festival, sakura blossom festival, ikebana art and garden creation, Japanese theater and much more – the tourist specifics of Japan. The country’s transport system is characterized by a very high and efficient level of development. The structure and dynamics of tourist flows are analyzed, it is determined that the number of tourists visits to the country has been constantly growing since 2013 and in 2019 amounted to 31.9 million people. Half of the tourist flow is made up of tourists from neighboring Asian countries – China, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. It is determined that Japan is not characterized by a “low” tourist season. The main problems and prospects of tourism development in Japan are considered. The government had high hopes for an increase in demand related to inbound tourism for one of the three largest world championships – the Rugby World Cup (2019), as well as the Olympic and Paralympic Games (2020). If the Rugby World Cup was held, albeit with some adjustments due to the influence of natural conditions, the Olympic and Paralympic Games due to the global pandemic COVID-19, had to be postponed to 2021. The pandemic in Japan caused the liquidation and sometimes bankruptcy of a number of enterprises. The most affected are the hotel business, catering, tourism and leisure. It is determined that Japan has considerable prospects in the rapid recovery and further devel­opment of the tourism industry.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the retention of GIC based sealant with nano-filled resin coating and filled resin sealant at specified time intervals. Study Design: It was a split mouth design in which 248 mandibular first permanent molars were divided into two groups i.e. Group 1 (124): treated with glass ionomer sealant followed by light cured nano-filled resin coating and Group 2 (124): treated with acid etching followed by resin filled sealant. Clinical evaluation was done at 1,3,6,9 and 12 months as per modified categorization by Weiwei Z et al. Data was analyzed using Pearson’s chi-square test to evaluate the success of both treatment procedures (p<0.05). Results: At 12 months, overall retention rate of glass ionomer sealant with nano-filled resin coating was found to be superior (84.7%) as compared to filled resin sealant (74.3%); but no significant difference was noted (p>0.05). Conclusions: Nano-filled resin coating application over glass ionomer sealant provides enhanced longevity and cariostatic benefits; hence, can be used as a viable alternative in place of resin sealants.
The President and Local Government in Russia: The Theory and Practice of Interaction
Authors: Budaev A. M.
Published: December 2020

Since the adoption of the current Constitution of Russia that established the constitutional foundations of the implementation of state power and local self-government in the Russian Federation, more than 25 have passed. This period was saturated from the point of view of the formation of the legal framework of socio-political and socio-economic relations in our country. The analysis shows that local self-government is one of the basic characteristics of the Russian model of democracy. On the other hand, in recent years it is impossible not to mention the tendency to increase the efforts of federal authorities, and first of all the head of state, to maximize the involvement of local authorities of self-government in a unified political and legal field of the State. This is largely justified by the need to provide every resident of the country with equal opportunities for a comfortable and safe life. The paper formulates the author’s view concerning the changes that are taking place; and at the same time, it is proposed to continue scientific discussions regarding the development of local self-government—an institution of a modern civilized democratic state that is necessary for us all.
Regulation of Cross-Border Copyright Relations related to Works with an Unknown Copyright Holder (Orphan Works)
Authors: Lutkova O. V.
Published: December 2020

The existing options for regulating the admission of third parties to the use of orphan works are not unified and tend to the legal presumptions opt-in (the copyright holder disagrees by default) or opt-out (the copyright holder agrees by default). There are certain common directions of the development of regulation concerning such issues as key understanding of an orphan works, preliminary search for a copyright holder, providing the copyright holder with the opportunity within a certain period to restore his rights and receive compensation for the use of a work, limitation of compensation for the use of an orphan works. Some states also show a tendency to the development of regulation of access to orphaned works specifically for cross-border relations: the creation of joint storage banks and cooperation of such banks (EU); recognition of the status of an orphan work established in one state by other (contracting) states (EU); the perception (In the established case) by national courts of supporting documents issued in a foreign jurisdiction on the search for the copyright holder as evidence of the orphanhood of the work (USA); establishment of conflict of laws regulation for finding the law applicable to relations with works restored under copyright protection (USA). Due to the fact that the activities of states to regulate access to works with an unknown rightholder contradicts the concept of the exclusivity of copyright and the imperativeness of their validity, the creation of a legal regime for the protection of orphan works should be initiated at the conventional (unifying) level.
The Legal Nature of a Utility Connection Agreement: A New Outlook at the Problem
Authors: Khamidullin M. T.
Published: December 2020

The paper continues the discussion existing in the legal literature on the legal nature of the connection agreement (utility connection) to the networks of engineering and technical support. The author gives different views on the legal nature of the connection agreement, which are found in doctrine and court practice. To reveal the essence of the contract under consideration, the author refers to the category "power" — a concept used in legislation to designate a legal relationship to endow the consumer with the right to claim against the energy supplying organization to maintain energy equipment in a state of constant readiness for the production and transmission of energy. In the course of the study of the legal nature of power, it is concluded that power is not an object of civil legal relations. The right of claim arising from the specified obligation can be attributed to such an object. The transfer of this right of claim to the consumer is made by the energy supplying organization as a result of utility connection. Based on this, the author reasonably concludes that, by its legal nature, a utility connection agreement is an agreement for the provision of services for compensation.

Authors: King Thomas , Benson Philip , De Siena Luca , Vinciguerra Sergio
Published: December 2020

We report a new method using a time delay neural network to transform acoustic emission (AE) waveforms into a time series of instantaneous frequency content and permutation entropy. This permits periods of noise to be distinguished from signals. The model is trained in sequential batches, using an automated process that steadily improves signal recognition as new data are added. The model was validated using AE data from rock deformation experiments, using Darley Dale sandstone in fully drained conditions at a confining pressure of 20 MPa (approximately 800 m simulated depth). The model is initially trained by manual picking of five high-amplitude waveforms randomly selected from the dataset (experiment). This is followed by semisupervised training on a subset of 300 waveforms.

The 18 March 2020 Mw 5.7 Magna, Utah, earthquake was the largest earthquake in Utah since the 1992 ML 5.8 St. George earthquake. The geologic setting of the Magna earthquake is well documented by recent geologic mapping at 1:24,000 scale and 1:62,500 scale at and near the epicenter northeast of Magna, Utah. Subsurface fault modeling from surficial geologic mapping, structural cross sections, deep borehole data, and geophysical data reveals a complex system of faulting concentrated in the hanging wall of the Weber and Salt Lake City segments of the Wasatch fault zone including the Harkers fault, the West Valley fault zone, and the newly interpreted Saltair graben. Based on geologic and geophysical data (seismic and gravity), we interpret the mainshock of the Magna earthquake as having occurred on a relatively gently dipping part of the Salt Lake City segment, with aftershocks concentrated in the Saltair graben and West Valley fault zone. Postearthquake rapid reconnaissance of geological effects of the Magna earthquake documented liquefaction near the earthquake epicenter, along the Jordan River, and along the Great Salt Lake shoreline. Subaerial and subaqueous sand boils were identified in regions with roadway infrastructure and artificial fill, whereas collapse features were noted along the shores of the Great Salt Lake. Potential syneresis cracking and pooling in large areas indicated fluctuating groundwater likely related to earthquake ground shaking. The moderate magnitude of the Magna earthquake and minimal geological effects highlight the critical importance of earthquake research from multidisciplinary fields in the geosciences and preparedness on the Wasatch Front.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, ortaokul öğrencilerinin matematiğe bağlılıklarını ve matematik kaygılarını cinsiyet, sınıf düzeyi ve okul değişkenleri açısından incelemektir. Araştırmanın verileri, 2019-2020 eğitim-öğretim yılında İç Anadolu’nun bir ilindeki iki farklı devlet okulunda 6, 7 ve 8. sınıfta öğrenim gören 225 öğrenciden uygun örnekleme yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak “Matematik Dersine Bağlılık Ölçeği” ve “İki Boyutlu Matematik Kaygısı Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın analizi için SPSS 22 programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları matematiğe bağlılığın cinsiyete göre farklılaştığını, matematik kaygısının ise cinsiyete göre farklılaşmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Matematiğe bağlılıkta bulunan farklılık kızların lehine olup kızların matematiğe bağlılık ortalamaları erkeklerden yüksek bulunmuştur. Araştırmadan elde edilen ikinci bir sonuç ise matematiğe bağlılığın sınıf düzeyine göre farklılaştığı ancak matematik kaygısının sınıf düzeyine göre farklılaşmadığıdır. Matematiğe bağlılığın sınıf düzeyi arttıkça azaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Matematiğe bağlılığın betimsel istatistiklerinde yedinci sınıfların ortalamalarının 35,16 (SS=8,62) ve sekizinci sınıfların ortalamalarının 30,54 (SS=6,46) olduğu görülmektedir. Sınıf seviyesi yükseldikçe matematiğe bağlılığın azaldığı sonucuna ulaşılabilir. Altıncı sınıf öğrencilerinin matematik kaygı ortalamaları 46,18 (SS=6,65), yedinci sınıf öğrencilerinin matematik kaygı ortalamaları 43,87 (SS=6,3) ve sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin matematik kaygı ortalamaları 46,02 (SS=6,82) bulunmuştur. Ortalamalar arasında sayısal olarak fark görünse de bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir. Araştırmada elde edilen diğer sonuç ise matematiğe bağlılık ve matematik kaygısının okula göre farklılaşmadığıdır. Matematiğe bağlılığın ve matematik kaygısının etkilenebileceği diğer değişkenlerle ilgili araştırmalar yapılabilir.

Bu araştırmanın amacı mesleki ve teknik eğitim alanında yapılmış olan lisansüstü tezlerin incelenmesidir. Araştırma nitel araştırma bağlamında yapılandırılmıştır. Araştırmaya YÖK Ulusal Tez Merkezi’ne kayıtlı olan 1986-2020 yılları arasında yapılmış 433 lisansüstü tez dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırmada Uysal (2013) tarafından geliştirilen ölçütler doğrultusunda hazırlanan lisansüstü tezlerin değerlendirilmesi formu, araştırmanın amaçları doğrultusunda düzenlenerek kullanılmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesi yüzde-frekans analizleri ve içerik analizleri ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre mesleki ve teknik eğitim alanına ilişkin yapılan lisansüstü tezlerden; yüksek lisans tezlerinin sayısının doktora tezlerinin sayısından yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Tezlerde en çok öğrencilerle çalışılan konulara yer verilmiştir. Öğretmenlerle çalışılan konular ise ikinci sırada çalışılan konudur. Staj ve beceri eğitimi ile öğrenci sorunlarına ilişkin konulara da yoğun bir şekilde yer verilmiştir. En az çalışılan konu ise mesleki ve teknik eğitimde ailenin rolü ve gelişimine yönelik konulardır. En dikkat çekici bulgu ise mezun öğrencilerle ve ailelerle çok az çalışma yapılmış olmasıdır. Tezlerin örneklem türünü oluşturan grup en çok öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. En fazla kullanılan örnekleme yöntemi ise rastgele örnekleme yöntemidir. Tezlerde en çok kullanılan yöntem nicel, en çok kullanılan veri toplama aracı anket, en çok kullanılan veri analizi tekniği ise betimsel istatistiklerden yüzde ve frekans analizi tekniğidir. Lisansüstü tezlerde geliştirilen politika önerileri uygulayıcılara yönelik öneriler ve araştırmacılara yönelik öneriler olmak üzere iki kategoride incelenmiştir. Politika önerileri incelendiğinde en çok uygulayıcılara yönelik önerilere yer verildiği görülmektedir. Uygulayıcılara yönelik öneriler incelendiğinde ise en fazla eğitim politikası geliştirenlere yönelik öneriler geliştirilmiş olduğu belirlenirken, en az çalışma koşullarının ve özlük haklarının iyileştirilmesine yönelik öneriler geliştirildiği belirlenmiştir. Araştırma, mesleki ve teknik eğitim alanına yönelik eğilimleri ve bunlara yönelik politika önerilerini bütünsel bir bakış açısıyla 35 yıllık bir süreçte YÖK Yayın ve Dokümantasyon Dairesi Başkanlığı tarafından arşivlenen lisansüstü tezlerin incelenip sunulması açısından önem taşımaktadır.

Authors: Campbell Leith H
Published: December 2020

On 24 November 2020, TelSoc hosted the fifth NBN Futures Forum, held online, to launch the first major report, Towards a National Broadband Strategy for Australia, from the NBN Futures Group. The report, which summarized nearly two years of deliberations by the NBN Futures Group, contained 13 conclusions that were presented and discussed at the Forum. These conclusions supported the view that broadband is an essential service for Australia’s digital economy and society and that Australia’s National Broadband Network (NBN) is central to broadband provision. They promoted the concept of an overarching National Broadband Strategy to achieve social, economic and governmental goals. In addition to the main speech presenting the report’s conclusions, there were written statements from the Minister and Shadow Minister, supplementary remarks from two members of the NBN Futures Group, commentary from three panellists on consumer, policy and governmental perspectives, and general discussion. This paper summarizes the full content of the Forum.

Nasal administration has many advantages over nasal, parenteral or oral administration. Some drugs are ineffective when administered orally due to absorption and first pass metabolism. Therefore, if the aqueous solubility problem can be overcome, the intranasal route will be an alternative method for administration. In this study, emulsion formulation was proposed as a new approach in order to increase the duration of the indomethacin-xylometazoline hydrochloride combination in the nose. The pH value of F1 and F2 emulsions were determined 9.4 and as 5.6 respectively. The particle size of F1 and F2 formulations were found to be 136.8±24 nm and 269.5±66 nm respectively.
Formulation of o/w emulsion IND and XYL may be considered as an alternative to iv and po administration. This administration of drugs may be delivery to achieve rapid onset of its pharmacological effect.
László Tengelyi’s Phenomenological Metaphysics of the World
Authors: Patkul Аndrei
Published: December 2020

In my paper, I reconstruct the basic features of the metaphysical conception of the world in László Tengelyi. I outline that he understands the world and its existence as a fact. In opposition to traditional ontology, Tengelyi believes that the fact of the world is of necessary. However, its necessity is not of logical a priori nature but conditioned by the concordance of experience. One ought to point out that the Tengelyi’s phenomenological metaphysics of the world is limited by the realm of experience. Following Husserl, he treats the world as the universal horizon of the experience. This is the horizon in which a thing can appear as limitless system of gradations. I analyze also the Tengelyi’s concept ‘project of world’ and explore two ‘projects’ of such a kind pointed in his metaphysics, namely (1) metontological transcendentalism and (2) naturalistic autarchism.  I pay a special attention to the Tengelyi’s concept of the infinitude as a basic characteristic of the world. He considers it as the openness to the generation of the absolute new qualities of the things in the world.
