Application of the finite element method for calculating the surface acoustic wave parameters and devices
Authors: Koigerov A. S.
Published: September 2024

A series of models based on the finite element method (FEM) for analyzing the parameters of surface acoustic waves (SAW) and devices based on them are described. The computer method for generating models in the COMSOL Multiphysics is described. Three main studies in the COMSOL are described and graphically illustrated: stationary, eigenfrequency, frequency domain. The properties of Rayleigh waves and leaky SAW are analyzed. A visualization of a number of characteristics is presented. The analysis of such parameters as phase velocity of the wave, electromechanical coupling coefficient, and static capacitance of transducer is considered. The examples consider an equidistant transducer, a transducer with split electrodes, and a unidirectional transducer of the DART type. Methods for analyzing SAW harmonics and the waveguide effect are proposed. It is shown that the model is valid for both single-crystal substrates and layered structures. The analysis of the temperature coefficient of frequency for such structures as TCSAW and I.H.P.SAW is considered. A model for calculating the amplitude-frequency responses of devices is presented. It is shown that the data obtained as a result of numerical analysis correspond to experimental data and known literature sources.

Authors: Bityukov V. K. , Lavrenov A. I.
Published: September 2024

Mathematical models serve as the basis for unified methods for the calculation and designing of radio-electronic devices. The developed limiting continuous mathematical model of a DC/DC converter, built using SEPIC topology, allows to determine the range of changes in currents flowing through the inductor windings and voltages on the capacitor plates, as well as to determine their maximum and minimum values for various converter parameters, such as switching frequency of the power switch, fill factor, element ratings, etc. The research results have shown that the phase coordinates of the mathematical model tend to the real values of currents and voltages of the converter when the switching frequency of the power switch is more than 200 kHz. Correspondence is established between the calculated values of the pulsation ranges and the results obtained during modelling (with changes in the filling factor and switching frequency of the power switch).

The article is dedicated to the establishment a regression dependence of wear of friction units of the mechanism of loading a garbage truck on the properties of antifriction materials. By using a first-order planning of experiment with first-order interaction effects using the Box-Wilson method, an appropriate regularity of wear of friction units of the garbage truck loading mechanism on the properties of antifriction materials has been determined. It is established that, according to the Student's criterion, among the studied factors of influence, the wear of friction units of the garbage truck loading mechanism is most influenced by the pressure in the friction zone, and the least – by the Brinell hardness of the antifriction material. The response surfaces of the objective function – wear of friction units of the garbage truck loading mechanism and their two-dimensional cross-sections in the planes of the influence parameters are shown, which allow to clearly illustrate the specified dependence of this objective function on individual influence parameters. It has been established that an increase in the pressure in the friction zone and sliding speed by 60% leads to an increase in the wear of friction units of the garbage truck loading mechanism during reverse motion by 6.3...34%, depending on the properties of antifriction materials. The expediency of conducting further research to determine ways to further improve the wear resistance of friction units of the mechanism for loading solid household waste into a garbage truck has been shown.
Adhesive built-up edge on tool steels due to friction and wear
Authors: Makovkin O.M. , Dykha O.V. , Valchuk I.K.
Published: September 2024

When processing metals by cutting, there are a number of materials prone to growth. This phenomenon leads to a change in the geometry of the cutter, cutting forces and surface quality, final dimensions of the part. In friction nodes: shaft-sleeve, piston-sleeve, etc. this phenomenon causes jamming. In this work, experimental studies of the processes of dry friction of tool steels with coatings were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of reducing the growth process. As a result, it was established that the nature of formation, destruction and size of growth of materials prone to growth depends on the chemical composition of the material and modes of friction. High-strength chromium-manganese steels are most prone to growth and microseizures. It is shown that the well-known recommendation of increasing speed cannot always be used to prevent build-up, but it can be achieved by using single-layer and multi-layer coatings with a defect-free structure and moderate friction modes. It was found that electrolytic single-layer nickel and chromium coatings contribute to the formation of growth on the studied materials and this phenomenon does not depend on the modes of friction, while the same chemical coatings, which have an almost defect-free structure, are almost not prone to growth formation.
Analysis of the directions of improving regular micro reliefs
Authors: Dzyura V.O. , Bytsa R.O.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the features of planar regular microreliefs with the shape of grooves, the axis of which lies in a plane that is parallel or coincident with the surface on which the microrelief is formed and can be described by a periodic function. It was established that the main parameter that determines the operational properties of a surface with regular microreliefs is the relative area of the microrelief. The hypothesis is put forward that the geometric shape of the grooves of the microrelief practically does not affect the operational properties of the surface. Microreliefs of groove axes that a periodic function can describe are technologically imperfect because when forming the tops of microrelief grooves, the tool must make stops to change the trajectory of movement. The complex geometry of microrelief grooves reduces the productivity of their formation, and the complexity of ensuring regularity ensures the surface's heterogeneous physical and mechanical properties. Directions for improving the forms of microreliefs are proposed, which will ensure an increase in the productivity of their formation and provide an opportunity to control the operational properties of the surface

Authors: Tykhyi A.A. , Aulin V.V. , Pashynskyi M.V. , Borovik A.Y.
Published: September 2024

The work presents the study results of the stress-strain state of the soil, as a continuous medium filled with abrasive particles under the action of the working bodies of soil tillage and earthmoving machines. One of the main properties of the soil, which determines the specifics of the force interaction of the working surfaces of the working bodies of soil tillage and earthmoving machines with the technological environment, is taken into account, namely the tendency of the contact layer of the treated layer to compaction.
The relationship between stress in the soil and the wear of the working bodies of soil tillage and earthmoving machines has been established experimentally. A theoretical analysis is presented for the stress-strain state of the local region of the strengthened surface layer that is used in the working bodies of soil tillage and earthmoving machines, in which the filler, inclusion or strengthening phase is placed.
An analysis of the contact characteristics of the stress-strain state and their changes during friction and wear was carried out based on the formulation and solution of the contact interaction problems of abrasive soil particles with the inhomogeneities of the composite coatings components based on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with fillers during strengthening of the working bodies of soil tillage and earthmoving machines.
Computer modeling was performed to study the nature of stress distribution in the reinforced surface layer of the working bodies of soil tillage and earthmoving machines in the area of the contact zone in stationary and dynamic conditions. The contact problem is formulated, the boundary conditions and the solution in the form of components of the stress field are given. The characteristics of the filler, their content in the composite material and coating are taken into account, the relationship between the stress-strain state and wear is established.

Radar Systems and Processing Techniques for Improved Small Target Detection in Coastal and Maritime Scenarios
Authors: Trevisani Roberto , Principi Federico
Published: September 2024

The detection of small radar cross section (RCS) targets is one of the most critical requirements for modern radars deployed in coastal and maritime scenarios. This requirement reflects the need to have a rapid awareness about the presence of potential threats close to strategical areas like military harbours, power plants, offshore facilities for oil and gas extraction, preserved wilderness area, etc. The first part of this article overviews the state-of-the-art of high-resolution radars working in X-band and Ka-band. The higher resolution leads to better target separation that is a key benefit in dense or restricted areas where close moving objects can be merged together by traditional maritime radars. The detection performance of these sensors is analyzed considering worst-case scenario where the RCS of a sea wave can exceed the RCS of a real small target. If proper clutter filtering is not adopted, the principal consequence of a high presence of sea clutter is the masking of real target echoes and the increasing of the false alarm rate with subsequent detection performance degradation. Modern processing techniques for the detection of small targets in sea clutter are then presented; these include both non-coherent techniques based on constant false alarm rate (CFAR), time-frequency diversity, scan-to-scan correlation and coherent multichannel techniques.
Quieter Nurse Call System to Reduce Alarm Noise in Hospitals
Authors: Howell Jacob , Knight Vickie
Published: September 2024

Healthcare staff are typically exposed to hundreds of alarms each shift; researchers believe that the number of alarms may be more than 1000 alarms per shift. This may lead to staff becoming desensitised to the alarm, leading to a delayed or inadequate response to the alarm, known as alarm fatigue. Clinical-grade wireless smartphones are now carried by clinical staff to receive calls and notifications from a nurse call system.
Building a Natural Language Interface for FHIR Clinical Terminology Server
Authors: Ngo Hoa
Published: September 2024

While Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) clinical terminology server enables quick and easy search and retrieval of coded medical data, it still has some drawbacks. When searching, any typographical errors, variations in word forms, or deviations in word sequence might lead to incorrect search outcomes. For retrieval, queries to the server must strictly follow the FHIR application programming interface format, which requires users to know the syntax and remember the attribute codes they wish to retrieve. To improve its functionalities, a natural language interface was built, that harnesses the capabilities of two preeminent large language models, along with other cutting-edge technologies such as speech-to-text conversion, vector semantic searching, and conversational artificial intelligence. Preliminary evaluation shows promising results in building a natural language interface for the FHIR clinical terminology system.

Published: September 2024

Hospital bed occupancy serves as an important indicator of healthcare system efficiency, directly impacting patient care quality and staff workload. This study delves into the efficacy of midnight census, a conventional method for assessing bed occupancy, in supporting hospital operational planning. Historically, the midnight census has been utilised to gauge bed occupancy; however, its reliability is debated due to fluctuations throughout the day. This paper presents an analysis of 5.5 years of patient flow data from one of the hospitals in Queensland, Australia, scrutinising the statistical associations between different occupancy levels, e.g., midnight, peak, average, and minimum. The findings shed light on the efficacy of the midnight census and suggest the adoption of an hourly-based occupancy rate for more accurate capacity planning and management.

Current Challenges in Digital Representation of Variation in Cancer Care
Authors: Kee Sophia , Valerie Ivy Cerelia , Kennedy Georgina , Findlay Merran , Churches Timothy , Vassar Alexandra
Published: September 2024

Advances in cancer treatment have improved patient outcomes and survival in recent decades. Increased complexity, duration, and individualisation of treatment protocols present an important challenge for care teams monitoring adherence to best-practice care. A rigid rules-based system for flagging outliers is not fit for purpose, as there are sound reasons for deviating from baseline protocols, such as the management of treatment side effects to a tolerable degree, however the methods for determining the bounds of appropriateness for variation are not well studied or understood. The development of digital representations to inform cancer care delivery in a timely and continuing manner is crucial. This scoping review seeks to identify gaps in current methods and propose a novel approach to digitally represent patient journeys in clinically meaningful visual and computational forms. These methods can be combined to produce real-time, clinically applicable tools such as group-level business-intelligence dashboards (are processes and resources adequate to ensure that patients are being treated according to best practice?) as well as individual-level decision support (what is the likely outcome for this patient if treatment is stopped early based on prior data?) and day to day clinical workflows (what has happened to this patient so far?)
Digital Competencies for Health Service Managers: Educating for Transformation
Authors: Brommeyer Mark , Liang Zhanming
Published: September 2024

Healthcare in the 21st century is experiencing tumultuous times of turbulent and tortuous change, characterised by an aging population, an increasing chronic disease burden, and inadequate workforce capacity to meet this burgeoning demand. The development of digital capabilities for health service managers of today and tomorrow requires an approach that transcends traditional adult learning education and training trajectories. A five-step process for developing an andragogical approach to health service management competency development in the digital context is proposed. This process includes qualifying the capabilities required of health service managers in the digital age and expediating digital transformation within the Australian healthcare environment, informed by empirical research; linking teaching approaches for digital health using the five tenets of adult learning; and coalescing the competencies needed to contextualise knowledge and skills development requirements for the 5th Industrial Revolution. Importantly, formal and informal education and training for health service managers should focus on competency transferability, which requires trainers and educators to understand the transforming context and challenges facing health service managers in the healthcare industry. It is incumbent on the digital health community to build capacity and enable workforce development to inculcate sustainable influence for lasting change in the healthcare system.

Patient portals can support care delivery and have demonstrated mixed impacts on patients, clinicians and health services. These variable impacts are primarily due to barriers to uptake and challenges associated with successfully implementing patient portals. As little is currently known about how implementation barriers can be addressed in practice, this project used an action research approach to evaluate and optimise the implementation of a patient portal in a real-world setting. Whilst the study is ongoing, the preliminary findings are reported in this paper, along with plans to use the findings to improve the portal in the next round of the action research cycle.
Consumer-Centered Consent Automation in Health Information Exchange
Authors: Milosevic Zoran
Published: September 2024

Considering consumer preferences, this paper proposes computer-readable policy expressions to govern data sharing and use in consent-based health information exchange. Consent automation is an essential component of digital health transformation efforts, enabling better consumer choices in using their sensitive data while unlocking new values through policy-aware workflow expressions. The approach is based on the HL7 FHIR standard while using the obligation and responsibility concepts formally defined in the ISO ODP Enterprise Language (ODP-EL) standard. These concepts were expressed using a domain specific language (DSL) to support code generation for integration with digital health applications. The approach enables improved interoperability, considering consent, privacy, security requirements, and the ability to adopt new business, regulative or jurisdictional policies. Additionally, it accommodates generative AI solutions for faster alignment with existing document-based policies, ensuring clear provenance. Finally, consent automation and a broader policy framework in the context of the latest Australian Government initiatives in digital health are discussed.

Published: September 2024

Developing evidence-based parameters to enhance the reliability of face emotion recognition (FER) systems in detecting depression among the elderly is essential. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between the ratio of each emotion valence captured by the FER system and heart rate variability (HRV) while participants watch a video in relation to their depression scores. YOLO, an open-source data analysis toolkit, was used to extract three facial emotion valence features (neutral, positive, and negative) and determine the ratio of each emotion valence over time during video viewing. Additionally, HRV was assessed, and the Geriatric Depression Scale was administered to understand the correlation between FER parameters and depression scores.
APONTAMENTOS ACERCA DAS CONCEPÇÕES PARA A EDUCAÇÃO EM MARX E GRAMSCI
Authors: Santos da Silva Mauro Sérgio
Published: September 2024

RESUMO
O presente trabalho, mediante revisão de literatura, expõe eixos basilares do pensamento educacional de Marx e Gramsci e demonstra que, embora  Marx não tenha destinado uma obra exclusivamente à educação, esta temática está, no corpus marxista, articulada a outros categóricos centrais, tais como a divisão do trabalho e a História. Também compreende que as ideias educacionais deste autor apontam, concomitantemente, para a crítica e a transformação das instituições educacionais de seu tempo, sendo colocadas em duas perspectivas diferentes: curto e médio prazo (propostas específicas consentâneas com eventos históricos concretos) e a longo prazo (o processo educacional relacionado com os princípios do comunismo). Para mais, evidencia o fato de que, em Gramsci, a educação é categoria central, posto que: I- os escrito de Gramsci possuem um caráter educativo; II- na educação, estão organicamente articuladas teoria e prática, cultura e política; III- a escolarização é processo de formação das massas. Nesta sorte, o trabalho expõe a ideia gramsciana de escola unitária, básica, comum, ancorada desinteressadamente na ideia de trabalho como princípio educativo.

Na prahu dospělosti? Reforma německých ozbrojených sil
Authors: Longhurstová Kerry
Published: September 2024

Od začátku roku 1990 se uskutečňuje transformace Bundeswehru. Po skončení studené války se mění nejen velikost obranných ozbrojených sil ve středu Evropy, ale lze sledovat i změnu současné role Bundeswehru v regionálním krizovém managementu v Evropě. Opravdu, ačkoli za uplynulé desetiletí německá bezpečnostní politika urazila obrovskou vzdálenost, nedostatky přetrvaly v organizaci a schopnosti Bundeswehru plně se vyrovnat se svými novými úkoly. Poznávání těchto problémů a nedůsledností v Bundeswehru by se mělo a mohlo změnit, protože rudo-zelená koalice potvrdila návrh rozpočtu výboru na vojenské síly. Výsledkem zmíněných úvah je program reforem, který předložil ministr obrany Scharping v roce 2000. Přitom hlavní cíl těchto reforem spočívá v modernizaci ozbrojených sil a ve zvýšení jejich operační kapacity v souvislosti s možnostmi budoucího evropského krizového managementu.

Published: September 2024

Ideally, government supervision of foreign worker (TKA) permits, in accordance with Law No. 13 of 2003, should be carried out optimally to prevent violations. However, in reality, there are still many violations in the field, highlighting a gap between legal provisions and implementation. Issues arising from this gap include a lack of labor inspectors and weak coordination with relevant agencies, leading to the proliferation of illegal foreign workers. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of TKA permit supervision from a normative juridical perspective. This article falls under the category of literature research with a qualitative approach. The methodology used is a normative legal study of labor-related regulations. The results of the study conclude that although regulations provide a strong legal foundation, the implementation of supervision in the field still needs to be improved through the enhancement of human resource capacity and inter-agency coordination to achieve the desired effectiveness.

This article investigates the key drivers and barriers to the adoption of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in Kazakhstan. By conducting a thematic analysis of relevant documents, frameworks, and case studies, the study evaluates the current state of ESG practices in Kazakhstan and compares them with international standards set by S&P Global, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). The findings highlight significant progress in regulatory support and investor demand but also identify critical challenges such as the lack of comprehensive ESG reporting standards, limited expertise, and infrastructure constraints. To address these issues, the article proposes a strategic framework that includes the development of a Unified ESG Reporting Standard, enhancement of corporate governance structures, investment in ESG infrastructure, and leveraging of market incentives. The proposed framework aims to align Kazakhstan's ESG practices with global standards, thereby enhancing its attractiveness to sustainable investment and improving its global standing in responsible business practices. Additionally, the article identifies gaps between Kazakhstan's ESG practices and international standards and offers targeted solutions to bridge these gaps, contributing to the country's sustainable development goals and attracting increased international investment.

At the same time, in order to invite candidates for a vacant position, including the identification of qualified talented employees, chatbots, Skype interviews, the use of information on online recruiting platforms such as HeadHunter, notification of vacancies at fairs, and pilot projects introduced by the state will be analyzed. The features of artificial intelligence programs introduced in the Kazakhstan labor exchange, and changes brought to the HR system, the advantages and disadvantages will be discussed. Especially as the most effective programs in the field of artificial intelligence in recent years: IBM's Deep Blue program, Alvinn program for driving, and Microsoft Application and Services Group's talking robot program, the importance of research on the specificity of programs in the field of medicine and pharmaceuticals will be analyzed and considered as examples of regional enterprises.

Published: September 2024

After investigating the applicability of VR simulators in the Hungarian Defence Forces, we searched further for a specific training location in time and place, where VR tactical simulation can be effectively applied. We hypothesise that the effectiveness of infantry soldier training can be made cheaper and thus more efficient if it is properly thought through. For this purpose, we have prepared a measurement. The scientific background to this measurement is presented in this article, together with an examination of the practical potential of the technology and training. The measurement will be conducted based on this research, experimentally embedded in the training plan of officer candidates.
VR Training Opportunities in the Hungarian Defence Forces

The aim of our study is to explore the potential of VR technology in the Hungarian Defence Forces. The justification for VR training starts with the classification of xR devices, where VR is a sub-group. Based on the literature and the experience gained so far, we examine what tasks each type of xR device is suitable for. We present the reader with the main technical parameters that may influence the usability of these devices in training. We review the GTS system4 that we have been able to test, and which forms the basis for further research. To find the optimal placement of VR devices in the training system, we summarise the training practice of the Hungarian Defence Forces and – based on the first tests and according to the purpose of the GTS system – we dig deeper into the individual and sub-unit infantry training. Considering the current state of development, we present the training areas where the introduction of VR can be particularly beneficial.

Authors: Passbach Daniel
Published: September 2024

Considering the current strategic and operational environment, it is obvious that conventional war in Europe became a reality again after a long time through the Russian aggression in February 2022. Robust air defence capabilities obviously play a key role in countering traditional as well as new emerging threats. This article serves as the starting point to discuss the national and international perspectives of the Hungarian ground-based air defence forces in a short series of publications, which intend to reflect this topic area from different perspectives. This part (1) examines the current strategic environment for Hungary – in general as well as from an air defence perspective – and explores first generic options for managing and further developing air defence capabilities in the near future.

Based on the findings of part 1 of my article series, analysing the strategic environment and considering first ideas of multinational capability development options for the Hungarian ground-based air defence forces, the present force structure and already initiated next steps are assessed and remaining capability gaps are identified. It is encouraging to see that prudent procurement decisions can systematically lead the way from a Soviet dominated weapon system landscape to swiftly being on track to becoming one of the most capable ground-based air defence forces nations in Europe and NATO.

Objectives Grief is a human, universal, personal and multidimensional experience. Although studies have been conducted to describe grief, there is no consensus among scholars about its theoretical or empirical definition in older adults. This study aims to analyze the concept of grief in old age. Methods & Materials This is a review study that was conducted in eight steps using Walker and Avant’s concept analysis method. To find studies related to grief in the elderly, a search in online databases including ScienceDirect, Scopus, PsychInfo, PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE using keywords: Grief, mourn, bereavement, old, geriatric, aging, age, later life, seniors, nonagenarian, octogenarian and centenarian. Also, articles were examined without considering the time limit published until January 30, 2023. The search strategy, screening, and data reporting were done based the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. Results Of 5963 articles, 34 were included. According to the findings, grief had five features, “a unique phenomenon”, “negative emotional experience”, “physiological irritation”, “experience of loneliness”, and “loss of previous meanings”. Three antecedents of grief included: Loss of loved ones, loss of pets, spouse divorce, and loss of health. Four consequences of grief included health consequences, social consequences, financial consequences, and resiliency. Conclusion The provided definition of grief in older adults can help the health team understand the concept better and carry out investigations, interventions, and evaluations to improve the health of the elderly.
