Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with reported prevalence in the United States of 1 in 59 children (approximately 1.7%). Core deficits are identified in 2 domains: social communication/interaction and restrictive, repetitive patterns of behavior. Children and youth with ASD have service needs in behavioral, educational, health, leisure, family support, and other areas. Standardized screening for ASD at 18 and 24 months of age with ongoing developmental surveillance continues to be recommended in primary care (although it may be performed in other settings), because ASD is common, can be diagnosed as young as 18 months of age, and has evidenced-based interventions that may improve function. More accurate and culturally sensitive screening approaches are needed. Primary care providers should be familiar with the diagnosticcriteria for ASD, appropriate etiologic evaluation, and co-occurring medical and behavioral conditions (such as disorders of sleep and feeding, gastrointestinal tract symptoms, obesity, seizures, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and wandering) that affect the child’s function and quality of life. There is an increasing evidence base to support behavioral and other interventions to address specific skills and symptoms. Shared decision making calls for collaboration with families in evaluation and choice of interventions.  This single clinical report updates the 2007 American Academy of Pediatrics clinical reports on the evaluation and treatment of ASD in one publication with an online table of contents and section view available through the American Academy of Pediatrics Gateway to help the reader identify topic areas within the report.

Del acceso a la Internet a las competencias infocomunicacionales, un comparativo de resultados estadísticos para el periodo 2015 a 2017 entre Brasil, Colombia y España
Authors: Castro Castellanos Franklin René , Borges de Lima Jussara
Published: December 2019

Este trabajo es el resultado de la comparación de indicadores asociados a la Internet entre Brasil, Colombia y España, con el objeto de realizar una discusión analítica, en lo concerniente al acceso, los usos o aplicaciones, y las razones de no acceso. Así se profundiza la discusión en las barreras que tienen las personas en Internet como herramienta de acceso a la información y la comunicación, llevando la discusión hacia las competencias infocomunicacionales, factor base para la inclusión y participación social hoy en día. Para esto se tomaron datos de fuentes nacionales e internacionales, como DANE, CETIC, INE, ITU y, EUROSTAT, usando informes entre 2015 y 2017 que registran o estudian el comportamiento de las personas en Internet, identificando variables comunes en el tiempo para los procesos comparativos realizados. Los datos muestran que el acceso mejora en cada país, con diferencias en la calidad del tipo de servicio recibido en la conexión de Internet. Sin embargo, el aprovechamiento está más orientado a la generación de mensajes dentro de contextos sociales, sin pasar al siguiente nivel que implica utilizar las potencialidades de Internet en la generación de bienestar económico o social. Se puede concluir que no todos los usuarios logran transformar la información y usar los medios de comunicación en beneficio grupal o individual, es decir, el desarrollo de la competencia infocomunicacional no es del todo evidente plenamente. Además, falta información que permita demostrar de forma concreta estos avances en las competencias a nivel país. Los usos y motivos varían, así como las formas de acceso en cada país, junto al seguimiento que hace cada Gobierno, todo influenciado por las políticas públicas nacionales que allí se desarrollan y los factores económicos que afectan un Estado.

Specific antibodies against estradiol (Es) and progesterone (Pg) are known to modulate blood serum concentrations of these hormones and their biological effects after immunization of animals. It was suggested that specific IgA-Es and IgA-Pg could influence on Es and Pg levels in human blood serum. The purpose of this study was to identify the suggested correlations between serum Es and Pg and specific IgA-Es and IgA-Pg in postmenopausal healthy women (HW) and breast cancer patients (BCP). The serum levels of Es, Pg, IgA-Es and IgA-Pg were studied in 226 HW and 633 BCP by means of solid-phase immunoassay. The following results were obtained. The levels of Es in BCP (0.25 nmol/l) were higher than in HW (0.16; р < 0.0001). The levels of Pg were lower (0.79 vs 0.87; р < 0.0001), and individual Pg/Es ratios were lower (3.19 vs 6.64; р < 0.0001). Individual IgA-Pg/IgA-Es ratios correlated with decrease of Es (rs = -0.15; p = 0.029), with increase in Pg (rs = 0.38; р < 0.0001), and with increased Pg/Es ratio (rs = 0.29; р < 0.0001) in healthy women. Similar correlations were determined in BCP (correspondingly: rs = -0.14, р < 0.001; rs = 0.1, р = 0.009; rs = 0.15, р < 0.0001). The decrease of Es and increase of Pg and Pg/Es in BCP were less significant than in HW: the a quotients in regression у = ах+b (y = hormones levels and x = antibodies levels) in BCP were 3 to 4-fold lower than in HW. These peciliarities of interrelations between hormones and specific antibody levels were revealed only in ER+/PR+ BCP but not in ER+/PR- and ER-/PR- BCP. In conclusion, we have confirmed a suggestion about participation of specific antibodies in regulation of steroids levels in human blood serum. The immune regulation of hormonal status was weakened in BCP.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a group of conditions closely associated with obesity that are among the most common and socially significant liver diseases in the modern Western world. The emergence and progression of NAFLD from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with the subsequent development of fibrosis are the leading factors in the pathogenesis of a significant proportion of the most severe liver pathologies, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as extrahepatic metabolic complications of NAFLD, such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The inflammatory component is one of the most important factors in the pathogenesis of NAFLD, particularly in the context of the progression of simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. At the same time, the role of the most important mediators of the inflammatory response, innate immunity receptors and the Toll-like receptors in particular, in the pathogenesis of NAFLD has been poorly studied. In the present work, we first used the bioinformatics analysis of the publicly available gene expression databases to demonstrate that only TLR1, TLR2, TLR3 and TLR4 were significantly expressed in the healthy human liver. We then used the reverse transcription PCR to measure the mRNA expression levels of TLR2, TLR3, and TLR4, as well as those of the important pro-inflammatory mediators tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), in the liver biopsy specimens obtained from 20 patients with NAFLD (simple steatosis, n = 10; non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, n = 10), as well as from 4 obese patients with clinical suspicion for NAFLD but no histological signs of NAFLD in their liver biopsies. We found a significant increase in the expression of TLR2, TLR3 and TLR4 mRNA in liver biopsy samples obtained from patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis as compared to those obtained from controls without histological signs of NAFLD. We were also able to demonstrate the association between the hepatic levels of TLR2, TLR3 and TLR4 mRNAs with the histological degree of liver damage as evidenced by the degree of steatosis and balloon dystrophy of hepatocytes, as well as with the plasma levels of uric acid, the important endogenous stimulator of innate immunity. Our data indicate the possible involvement of innate immunity, particularly the Toll-like receptors, in the pathogenesis of NAFLD.

Background

The fluoropyrimidines, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and capecitabine, are commonly used chemotherapeutic agents that have been associated with coronary vasospasm.

Methods

In this retrospective case-control study, we identified patients at our institution who received 5-FU or capecitabine in 2018. We compared characteristics of patients who experienced cardiotoxicity with controls. We described phenotypes and outcomes of cardiotoxic cases.

Results

We identified 177 patients who received fluoropyrimidines. After adjudication, 4.5% of the cohort met the criteria for cardiovascular toxicity. Coronary artery disease was more common among cases than controls (38% vs. 7%, p < .05). There was also a trend toward increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in cases compared with controls. Most cardiotoxic cases had chest pain, although a minority of cases presented with nonischemic cardiomyopathy.

Conclusion

Cardiotoxicity phenotypes associated with fluoropyrimidine use are not limited to coronary vasospasm. Cardiac risk factors and ischemic heart disease were highly prevalent among patients with cardiotoxicity.
Plasma–fuel systems for clean coal technologies
Authors: Messerle Vladimir , Ustimenko Alexandr , Lavrichshev Oleg
Published: December 2019

This paper presents plasma technology for pulverised-coal ignition and improving energy efficiency of power stations. Plasma–fuel systems (PFS) were developed to accomplish this technology. PFS are a combination of pulverised-coal burners with arc plasmatrons. The main idea of the technology using PFS is to replace the traditionally used fuel oil for flame stabilisation and starting coal-fired boilers with the products of plasma chemically treated pulverised-coal. The coal–air mixture is fed into the PFS where the plasmatron induces heating, devolatilisation and gasification of the coal particles and partial oxidation of the char carbon. As a result, a highly reactive two-component fuel (mixture of combustible gases and partially oxidised char particles) is formed at the exit of the PFS. At the entry to the furnace, this highly reactive two-component fuel is easily ignited. PFS increase the efficiency of coal ignition and combustion, eliminate fuel oil expenditure for boiler start-up and flame stabilisation and decrease unburned carbon, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and vanadium (V) oxide emissions. PFS have been tested at 30 coal-fired power stations and steam coals of all ranks were used. The volatile content of steam coals varied from 4 to 50%; ash from 15 to 56%; and heat of combustion from 6700 to 25 000 kJ/kg.
Phase evolutions of cementitious materials with very low water/binder ratios

Published: December 2019

High-performance and ultra-high-performance concrete have been increasingly used as building materials in modern construction, and their superior properties derived from a tailored microstructure. In this study, Rietveld quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis was adopted to investigate phase evolutions of four cementitious pastes with varied addition of fly ash or silica fume at very low water/binder ratios. The results indicate that the phase changes concerning the contents of the major clinker phases mainly happen within the first 7 d. The content of portlandite (CH) in pure cement paste increases monotonically while, due to pozzolanic reaction, it decreases in blended pastes between 7 and 28 d. At early age, the addition of silica fume accelerates the hydration of cement, while the introduction of fly ash shows significant retardation especially at 1 d. The degree of hydration (DOH) of cement is mainly determined by the effective water/cement ratio of the paste, and the incorporation of fly ash, while initially producing little reaction, results in a higher DOH of cement. With steam curing, the content of CH significantly decreases in the blended pastes, which indicates a promoted pozzolanic reaction.

Authors: Oliveira Duarte Aldylayne Elen
Published: December 2019

O presente trabalho apresenta quais as reações dos pais frente ao diagnóstico do Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA), bem como as possíveis dificuldades em aceitar um filho com este Transtorno, e a importância dos pais no desenvolvimento do seu filho. O método foi a Revisão bibliográfica Narrativa da literatura através de buscas nos bancos de dados: Google Acadêmico e Scielo, sendo 62 artigos, 2 dissertações, 3 livros e 2 teses. Foram identificadas as dificuldades em aceitar um filho com TEA em duas vertentes, uma pessoal e outra social. A pessoal diz respeito à quebra da idealização do filho perfeito e as demandas cansativas que a criança com TEA apresenta. As questões ressaltam o preconceito ao diferente, as poucas informações recebidas sobre o transtorno e escassas assistências em órgãos públicos ao transtorno e aos pais. Conclui-se que é imprescindível que os pais sejam acompanhados após o diagnóstico do filho, pois eles serão os responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento saudável da criança, a quem ela precisará para um bom prognóstico como também os profissionais estejam preparados para atender estas famílias que muito sofrem em buscas de respostas e de um diagnóstico com rapidez para seu filho.

Protection of Foreign Investment in Central Asia
Authors: Muminov Farruhbek
Published: December 2019

Central Asia, with its abundance of natural resources and low labor costs, is often seen as an attractive destination for foreign investment. The inflow of foreign investment into Central Asia has significantly increased in recent decades, and this phenomenon supports the improvement of both national economies and the welfare of the region. Still, Central Asia is not classified as a low-risk destination for foreign investment because of inadequate protection of foreign investment – particularly a lack of transparency and predictability in Central Asia states’ FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) regimes. Furthermore, international organizations (such as the OECD) indicate that some countries in Central Asia do not have clear investment policies. These points pose problems for foreign investors who desire to invest in the region. From this perspective, this article analyzes the consistency of the general principles of foreign investment in Central Asia with international investment standards.
Public expenditure and human development in Nigeria in the last decade, composition and distributional impacts
Authors: Edeme Richardson Kojo , Nkalu Chigozie Nelson
Published: December 2019

Beyond the country-level impact, this study evaluates public expenditure in Nigeria in the last decade based on composition and distributional impacts on human development at the state-level considering education, health, agriculture and rural development water resources energy, housing and environmental protection. Using data generated from 20 states from 2007-2017, the empirical analysis indicates that the efficacy of education, health, agriculture and rural development and water resources in improving human development is greater than that of energy, housing and environmental protection expenditure. More interestingly, the positive effect of capital expenditure is mitigated by increased recurrent expenditure. The combination of these factors strongly reduces the capability of public expenditure to foster human development. Based on the distributional impact assessment model, education, health, agriculture and rural development and water resources has positive marginal impact while energy, housing and environmental protection has negative marginal impact. Together, these results further advance the case for improving expenditure on the components and sectors that enhances human development. In other words, the public policy plays a great role in human development expenditure in Nigeria.

Introduction: Clinical education is an essential element in the education of medical students. One of the problems students face in clinical education is stress. Students choose a variety of strategies to overcome clinical stresses. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between stressors of clinical education and coping strategies.
Methods: In this descriptive study, the population of the study was Hamedan Paramedical Students in 1396 who were studied by census method. The information was evaluated using the Stress Factor Questionnaires of Clinical Education and coping strategies for stressful endlerparer. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test, correlation analysis and nonparametric equilibrium analysis of variance.
Result: In this study, students' stress was higher than average in all stressful areas except educational environment. The problem-oriented strategy had the highest score among the coping strategies. Among the domains of stressors among paramedical students, interpersonal communication had a direct and significant relationship with all three coping strategies (p <0.05). In addition, there was no significant relationship between students' major and coping strategies (p = 0.083), while there was a significant relationship between students' interest in their field of study and problem-oriented strategy (p-value <0.001).
Conclusion: The clinical education environment is a stressful environment for the paramedical students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Students usually use problem-oriented strategies to cope with the stresses of interpersonal communication, unpleasant emotions, and clinical experiences, while choosing avoidant strategies to reduce stress from the educational environment.

Introduction: Tuberculosis is one of the most important public health problems, especially in developing countries. The global burden of tuberculosis ranks in the 10th Stopping the tuberculosis epidemic in 2030 is one of the goals of sustainable development. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiology of the disease, changes in the incidence of tuberculosis and its effective factors over a decade in Yazd Province.
Methods: In this descriptive study, data from the TBC system that was collected in the county were used. The data of the patients identified during the years 2005-2014 based on patients' care records in the province of Yazd were extracted by census and analyzed using SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL; version 16 software. The population base for calculating the incidence, population census and housing data and for the years between them has been based on the Center's statistics estimate
Results: The total number of tuberculosis cases identified in the study period was 1398 ones. The mean of the incidence of tuberculosis during the years 2005-2014 in Yazd Province was 13/5 per 100,000 people. The incidence of disease in women 14/3 per hundred thousand) was significantly higher than the male / 14/1 per hundred thousand). The difference between the incidence of TB in urban and rural areas was statistically significant (13/5 versus 18/3 per hundred thousand). Patients with positive sputum pulmonary tuberculosis had a successful treatment of 78.5 %. The success rate of treatment in women (90/7%) was significantly higher than males) 79/5%) and in urban populations (85/1%) compared with rural populations (84/2%).
Conclusion: Regarding the lower success rate of treatment in Yazd Province, the country's average, as well as the target's goal, is to strengthen the disease-care system in non-Iranians, to further monitor the implementation of the DOTS strategy and to have effective communication with private sector physicians for compliance with the National Counter-Terrorism Protocol with tuberculosis, an effective step in controlling the disease and eventually removing it until 2050 AD.

Published: December 2019

The popularity of e-learning (EL) largely infiltrated into every sector of South African institutions of higher learning. This growing interest in EL is due to the advent of rapid internet technologies. For decades, South African institutions of higher learning have accepted EL as a vital learning tool for the enhancement of learning and teaching within the higher education sector. However, there are countless challenges that continue to hinder learning and teaching activities. This study seeks to determine the relationships between various challenges and EL capabilities through stated hypotheses. The study is a descriptive, qualitative design aided by a quantitative approach that were applied to collect data. In total 150 full and part-time ICT students including four permanent ICT lecturers participated in the study. By means of statistical methods of descriptive, inferential statistics aided by independent t-tests, three stated hypotheses were formulated and tested. The study therefore, recommends that higher institutions of learning should increase investments in various EL programs including relevant ICT infrastructure development and also in levels of connectivity. The study further recommends that EL contents should be designed taking into account the cultural characteristics of students.

This article presents the results of a sociological study aimed at examining the strategies that people living in apartment complexes choose in terms of economic behavior in a situation when funds are being collected for major renovation. Under Russian federal law № 271-FZ, home owners must participate in major renovations of community property in apartment complexes on conditions of state co-financing. As a result, citizens are involved in producing a common good in the form of major housing renovation. Given such a situation, people could opt for both pro-social, based on monthly payments for major renovations, and egotistical strategies, which involve refusal to make mandatory payments. Analyzing the economic behavior of people living in apartment complexes in the vein of J. Coleman’s rational choice theory allowed for establishing three groups of factors which define the choice of either pro-social or egotistical strategies. The first group of factors acts on an individual level and defines the proportion of those gains and losses considered by an individual when deciding on whether to transfer funds for major renovations. These include subjective evaluation of the building’s technical state and financial status. The second group of factors is linked to expectations regarding the actions of other residents in terms of collecting funds for major renovations. The third group of factors manifests itself during interactions between apartment owners and the corporate actors implementing the major renovation program. Trust towards these actors becomes a crucial factor. The influence of the highlighted factors on choosing economic behavior strategies when it comes to collecting funds for major renovations was researched during a sociological study conducted in Yaroslavl using questionnaire method in 2015 and 2018. 600 respondents were surveyed in each of these studies. It was determined that the economic behavior of home owners in apartment complexes is subject to the following strategies: pro-social (“cooperation”, “conformal”) and egotistical (“maximin”, “competitive”, “aggressive”). When comparing the results of both studies, an increase in the amount of proponents of pro-social strategies is apparent. The highlighted tendency corresponds to an increase in the amount of funds collected for major renovations. Pro-social strategies are preferred by residents with average or high financial status, who consider the quality of completed major renovations to be good. These people are convinced that other residents transfer monthly payments in full, and they trust the governmental institutions implementing the major renovation program.
Trust in universities as a factor for overcoming educational inefficiency
Authors: Zborovsky Garold E. , Ambarova Polina A.
Published: December 2019

Modern higher education’s central issue – educational inefficiency among a considerable portion of students – is examined in close conjunction with developing relationships of trust within universities. The main goal of this article is to reveal the issue of educational inefficiency among Russian college students and to present trust within universities as a vital resource for solving the issue. The article interprets the basic concepts of trust within universities and students’ educational inefficiency. Trust within universities is shown to be a predictor for developing stable motivation in education, as well as students’ professional inclinations, which ultimately define success in education and human capital quality. Sociological analysis revealed the source of students’ educational inefficiency, as well as how it transfers through all levels of education – from preschool to university. Determined are the risks associated with an increase in the magnitude of students’ educational inefficiency and with an emergence of imitational strategies in universities, which serve to conceal this phenomenon. Brought forth is the issue of educational inefficiency being concentrated among students attending provincial universities. The authors maintain that “two-way” trust could become a factor in overcoming such inefficiency in universities – both on behalf of students towards other educational collectives, primarily the scientific-pedagogical community and administrative personnel, and coming from these university collectives towards students. This article reveals the main characteristics of such mutual trust, which can act as a resource for overcoming students’ inefficiency. Illustrated is the purpose for developing and fortifying trust within universities, based on the economic and socio-cultural necessity to transform those students who are experiencing trouble in the academic field into professionally and socially successful actors. The dominant idea in their life after university should be pursuing an aptitude for achievement in vital fields of activity.
O corpo desaparecido
Authors: Monteiro Pedro Meira
Published: December 2019

Neste artigo, analiso como, em Ricardo Piglia (1941-2017), a escrita se coloca diante do fluxo vital. Para tanto, investigo de que modo, em seus escritos, a batalha pelo sentido termina por encontrar, na matéria em movimento, um obstáculo praticamente incontornável. Em minha reflexão, parto do corpo inerte como algo que convida a ficção a funcionar. A partir dessa ideia, sugiro que a busca do sentido atravessa a reflexão de Piglia, tanto na ficção quanto na crítica, e muito especialmente em sua relação com o gênero policial. A questão do sentido se adensa a partir da impossibilidade de narrar a experiência, tema benjaminiano que Piglia abraça com força. No final de meu percurso, interrogo uma substituição de palavras que descobri recentemente ao folhear os datiloscritos anotados por Piglia, que são parte de sua coleção pessoal, hoje guardada na biblioteca Firestone, em Princeton. Como sentido e verdade se relacionam? E como a narrativa oferece um espaço para que tal relação se desenrole plenamente? Essas são algumas das questões abordadas aqui, tendo a obra de Piglia simultaneamente como inspiração e objeto de análise.
“Desenredo”, de João Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Marinho Marcelo , Silva David Lopes da
Published: December 2019

Em março de 1956, João Guimarães Rosa, antes mesmo de lançar Grande sertão: veredas (sua “autobiografia irracional”), anuncia em jornal o projeto de ocupar uma cadeira na Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL), apesar de sua condição de escritor praticamente inédito, por então. Foi a primeira entre três tentativas, todas marcadas por intenso desgaste emocional: somente sete anos mais tarde, em 1963, Rosa será finalmente eleito, quase à unanimidade. Paradoxalmente, passa a inexplicavelmente adiar a cerimônia de posse e vem a falecer exatamente três dias depois do evento postergado por quatro longos anos. Nos jornais do dia seguinte, chega-se até mesmo a anunciar que ele teria previsto a própria morte. Com base nesse enredo biopoético, buscamos “desentramar”, ao longo deste artigo, os indícios de uma narrativa metapoética em cujas linhas Rosa poderia ter eventualmente ficcionalizado sua relação com a poesia, com a planejada eleição, com a posse fatal e com a rivalidade própria aos membros da ABL, tal como se entrevê em “Desenredo”, de Tutameia – Terceiras estórias (1967). O presente ensaio percorre esse célebre prosoema em busca de elementos de reflexão sobre a seguinte questão genealógica: Quais são os limites entre ficção e biografia, entre narrativa poética e prosoema, entre estória e história, entre interpretação crítica e transcriação poética, entre imortalidade e pervivência, no caso de um autor que leva ao paroxismo derradeiro a noção de “autobiografia irracional”? Em outras palavras: Em sua genealogia, caberia ler “Desenredo” como um irreverente texto metapoético?
O diário de Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Gama Monica
Published: December 2019

Quase desconhecidos pela crítica, os diários de Guimarães Rosa constituem uma visão particular do fictício e do autobiográfico em sua obra. Há três diários entre os manuscritos do escritor, mas neste artigo será focalizado apenas o diário escrito em Paris, por ser o que mais recupera reflexões sobre a escrita de si e sobre o fazer literário. Expondo um interesse do escritor por diários de outros escritores, a investigação sobre mecanismos de narração de si e da relação dessa autocontemplação com o mundo estendeu-se para crônicas e para um dos prefácios de seu último livro, o que também será explorado neste artigo, quando veremos a incorporação do debate sobre literatura engajada a partir da escrita íntima.
Indivíduo e história
Authors: Silva Hugo Leonardo Fonseca da
Published: December 2019

Este artigo parte da interrogação sobre as conexões e mediações entre indivíduos, subjetividade e história na tradição teórica do marxismo. Resulta de uma investigação teórico-metodológica que aborda a fertilidade do pensamento marxista para compreender as determinações recíprocas entre indivíduo, sujeito e história. Conclui-se que a compreensão do indivíduo como síntese de numerosas relações sociais, da inseparabilidade entre indivíduo e classe nas condições históricas do capitalismo e da história como obra humana são elementos inerentes ao projeto educativo de formação do sujeito histórico no âmbito do marxismo.

Вплив метилацетату на технологічні властивості плакованих стиржневих сумішей
Authors: Репета Людмила Петрівна , Сиропоршнєв Леонід Миколайович
Published: December 2019

Одним з недоліків лиття за моделями, що газифікуються є неможливість отримання виливків зі складними внутрішніми порожнинами[1-3]. Тому був розроблений метод отримання порожнистих виливків за допомогою комбінованих пінополістиролових моделей із застосуванням піщаних стрижневих сумішей на основі смоли СФП011Л, яка в меншій мірі знеміцнюється під дією перегрітої пари.В якості розчинника застосовували метилацетат, який використовується замість забороненого ацетону. Літературних даних про вплив метилацетату на технічні характеристика стрижнів практично відсутні.

Authors: Затуловский А. С. , Щерецкий В. А. , Ивахненко М. О.
Published: December 2019

Целью исследования является разработка нового композиционного  материала для плакирующего рабочего слоя литых биметаллических втулок, которые работают в узлах трения, и изучение его триботехнических свойств.Основные результаты – конструкция антифрикционной втулки разрабатывалась таким образом, чтобы после механической обработки более мягкие участки матрицы чередовались с более твердыми участками армирующих вставок. Изготовлены композиционные втулки из сплава АК12 внутренним диаметром 50 мм с армирующими вставками в виде проволоки диаметром 2 мм из нержавеющей (08Х18Н10Т) и углеродистой стали (ст. 45). Установлено, что износ композиционных втулок ниже, чем втулок из моносплава АК12 в 1,3…1,7 раз. При этом лучший результат достигнут при применении армирующих вставок из углеродистой стали ст. 45. Это можно объяснить оптимальным сочетанием твердости армирующих элементов и матрицы на уровне 3,09. В случае применения армирующих вставок из стали 08Х18Н10Т это соотношение составляет 3,27.

ФОРМУВАННЯ СТРУКТУРИ І ВЛАСТИВОСТЕЙ КОМПОЗИТІВ САМОФЛЮСІВНИЙ СПЛАВ – ПЛАВЛЕНІ КАРБІДИ ВОЛЬФРАМУ ТА НІОБІЮ
Authors: Тесля С. Ю. , Степанчук А. М. , Білик І. І.
Published: December 2019

Досліджено закономірності формування структури та властивостей  композиційних покриттів системи самофлюсівний сплав (СФС) – карбіди перехідних металів, в литому стані (РЕЛІТ, карбід ніобію). Встановлено, що методом просочення можна отримати, щільні покриття, з утворенням якісного контакту компонентів, між собою та з основою. Показані основні етапи формування структури композитів. Виявлено, що при просоченні має місце розчинність тугоплавкої складової в розплаві самофлюсивного сплаву. При цьому розчинність РЕЛІТу в СФС більша ніж розчинність карбіду ніобію, що зумовлено більшою енергією на межі зерен. Розчинність збільшується зі збільшенням кривизни поверхні.
