Quantitative Assessments of the Liquefaction Hazard of Soils considering Possible Strong Earthquakes in Seismically Active Regions of Russia
Authors: Zaalishvili Vladislav B. , Chernov Yuri.K. , Chernov Andrey Yu 
Published: October 2024

Introduction
The seismogenic liquefaction of the soil poses a great hazard to society and the environment. Therefore, it is actively studied in many countries. In Russian engineering and seismological practice, this area is not sufficiently developed. The deterministic approach still prevails in Russian research on this topic. More modern probabilistic estimates are very rare.

Methods
This paper describes examples of both deterministic and probabilistic assessments of the seismogenic liquefaction hazard performed in certain areas of the Russian territory with different seismogeological conditions. Deterministic estimates were made using the Iwasaki-Seed-Finn methods and their modifications. Probability distribution functions of a random variable, the “seismic potential of liquefaction” (SPL), were developed for probabilistic estimates. These functions are regional in nature and take into account two types of uncertainties. The first is the uncertainty in achieving “critical” values by the SPL value in the event of potentially dangerous earthquake sources for a given location. The second is the uncertainty in the very occurrence of these sources in a given place for a given period of time. The “critical” SPL values are determined by the strength properties of the site soils. All estimates are based on multivariate calculations using various models of strong ground motions and seismicity. In all cases, the probability of liquefaction of water-saturated sandy and sandy-loam deposits was estimated which were found near the seabed and at depths of up to 80 m in the waters of Pogibi cape (the coast of Sakhalin island), in the districts of Sochi and Novorossiysk, as well as in land conditions (Stavropol, Krasnodar).

Results
The results of the research made it possible to correctly (at the quantitative level) take into account this component of the seismic hazard of the studied territories.

Conclusion
The variants of practical use of the obtained data are offered. An assessment of the possibilities and limitations of the developed methodology is made, and ways to improve it are outlined.

Published: October 2024

Aim
The present study was conducted to determine the status of mothers’ and newborns' access to safe and quality care from the perspective of midwifery personnel.

Background
Safe and quality care is recognized as a principle in providing healthcare to mothers and newborns.

Methods
This was a cross-sectional study conducted through random sampling on 270 midwifery personnel working in government hospitals of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 2023. The data were collected using a questionnaire created by a researcher and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests in SPSS-22 statistical software at a significance level of less than 0.05.

Results
The average age of the participants was 34.41 ± 7.93 years. The results showed the status of mothers' and newborns' access to safe and quality care to be in the average range of 38.30 ± 6.67. The midwifery personnel have demonstrated adherence to scientific and specialized protocols regarding the way for childbirth and how to care for mothers and newborns to be the most frequent (51.5%), while the provision of emotional and psychological support to women who have given birth with newborn problems to be the least frequent (8.5%).

Conclusion
Midwifery personnel believe that the safe and quality care provided to mothers and newborns is adequate. Midwifery personnel are committed to following evidence-based practices, but need additional training and resources to support women in need emotionally and psychologically. This is particularly concerning given the potential impact of maternal mental health on both the mother and the newborn.

Published: October 2024

Introduction:
This study aimed to examine the setting time of dental stone type IV by
adding different percentages (0.5, 1, 2, 5) of silica nanoparticles.

Materials and Methods:
In this in vitro study, silica nanoparticles (silicon dioxide) were added to
dental stone type IV at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 5% by weight. Forty samples were divided
into five groups: 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5%, and a control group. The samples were prepared according
to the manufacturer's instructions and tested according to the ISO 6873 standard using a
Vicat device. The time from the start of mixing until the needle could no longer fully penetrate the
mass was measured using a chronometer, and the setting time was recorded. Quantitative data
were described using mean and standard deviation, and a one-way ANOVA test was performed using
SPSS 26 to compare the results. A significance level of P < 0.05 was set.

Results:
The addition of silica nanoparticles to dental stone type IV significantly increased the setting
time, with the increase being proportional to the concentration of the nanoparticles. The setting
time of the group containing 5% nanoparticles was significantly higher than that of the control
and the 0.5% group (P value < 0.05).

Conclusion:
The incorporation of silica nanoparticles into dental stone type IV resulted in a significant
increase in setting time, particularly at a concentration of 5%. This increase is within the ISO
range and offers advantages in the use of nanoparticles in dental materials.

Published: October 2024

During the pandemic, many sectors, including education, were affected. The shift from traditional to online learning is an opening for students and educators to explore online learning. Students may connect from anywhere at any time through this learning mode. This sudden shift has impacted the learning behavior of students to a large extent. People can access information anytime and anywhere that is typically available only through a traditional classroom. This study adopts the Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM) theory as the theoretical framework to understand how push, pull, and mooring factors affect students' shift from offline to online learning. A survey was used as the main instrument in this study. A quantitative approach was utilized to achieve the stated research objectives. The questionnaires were distributed among undergraduate students in public and private schools in Malaysia through convenience sampling techniques. The minimal 77 sample size has been determined by utilizing G*Power software. 117 responses were collected from the questionnaires that met the minimum required sample size for this study. The findings emphasize that push and pull factors are essential to student learning. However, the mooring factor does not affect the student's switching behavior. The study sheds light on capturing more essential measures in the theoretical development of switching behavior.
