Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) films were synthesized by incorporating organic groups, specifically amino groups derived from ethylene di-amine (en). The casting process was employed, with tetrahydrofuran (THF) utilized as the solvent. The incorporation of 4 metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), namely MgO, ZnO, NiO and TiO2, was carried out to enhance the stability of the films during light exposure. The effect of UV radiation dose was significant. Subsequent exposure of the PVC films to ultraviolet light enabled the evaluation of resulting damage through various analytical and morphological techniques. The utilization of infrared spectroscopy and weight loss study suggested that the films incorporating additives exhibited less harm and little alterations on the surface, as compared to the unaltered film. Among the modified films, the PVC-en/TiO2 NPs film exhibited the highest resistance against the photodegradation process, as evidenced by the data derived from FTIR spectra, weight loss measurements, and surface morphology analyses. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles have been good PVC photostabilizer because of its capacity to block ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) photographs of the PVC-en/TiO2 NPs film after irradiation revealed a smooth surface, exhibiting a roughness factor (Rq) of 34.3, in contrast to the PVC (blank) which had a roughness factor of 282.2. SEM images for irradiated PVC films reveal the existence of cracks, cavities, protrusions, blemishes and formless, uneven surfaces. Microscopic images revealed that the surface of untreated PVC films exhibited significantly more pronounced damage and anomalies following irradiation compared to modified PVC films incorporating nano-metal oxides.

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
A Novel National Master’s in Digital Health Transformation: driving cohesive systemic digital change
Authors: Curley Martin , McElligott Annette 
Published: June 2024

To spearhead the digital transformation of the Irish Health system, a National Master’s in Digital Health Transformation was co-designed between the Irish Health Service (HSE) and the eight Irish research universities. The Master’s was designed around the new Stay Left, Shift Left-10X paradigm which advocates for shifts in focus from illness to wellness, hospital to home and a patient rather than clinician centred health system. A key feature of the Masters is that the main deliverable is a digital change project in the health service instead of the traditional 30,000-word dissertation. The Digital Change project, while an extremely valuable learning process also created a cohesive wave of digital change in an organization and ecosystem known for resistance to change. An additional innovation is the use of a patient jury to guide selection and to score projects. More than one hundred and fifty clinical students delivered over 85 completed projects which brought significant positive benefits across the quadruple aim lens. The education and change initiative achieved a massive return on investment, with some individual projects achieving return on investments significantly greater than the overall cost of the Master’s program. In parallel to the National Master’s program, other initiatives aligned with the national health strategy Slaintecare, such as the building of a network of primary care centres were carried out. Despite many remaining challenges, Ireland’s global health system ranking improved 74 places over the first five-year duration of the Masters. Acknowledging multifactorial reasons for improvement, we can still conclude that education led digital change is highly effective at introducing positive digital change in a complex adaptive systems environment.

Abstract. This study investigates the validity of wine must quality as an April-to-August temperature proxy between 1420 and 2019 based on expert ratings and quality measurements from Germany, Luxembourg, eastern France, and the Swiss Plateau. This is highly relevant as uncertainties remain on past climate variations during this period. The evidence was reviewed according to the best practice of historical climatology. Expert ratings tended to agree with Oechsle density measurements that gradually replaced them from the 1840s. A statistical model calibrated to predict wine must quality from climate data explains 75 % of the variance, underlining the potential value of wine must quality as a climate proxy. Premium crops were collected in years of early harvest involving high insolation during maturation, while poor crops resulted from very late harvests in cold and wet summers. An analysis of daily weather types for high- and low-quality years after 1763 shows marked differences. On a decadal timescale, the average quality was highest from 1470 to 1479, from 1536 to 1545, and from 1945 to 1954. Poor crops were collected in periods with prevailing cold and wet summers such as 1453 to 1466, 1485 to 1494, 1585 to 1614, 1685 to 1703, 1812 to 1821, and 1876 to 1936. In the period of enhanced warming after 1990, high quality became the rule.
Influence of Media Propaganda on the Characters of “Sasa”
Authors: DR. MUHAMMAD SOHAIL IQBAL  , DR. TAHIRA GHAFOOR  
Published: June 2024

The historical background of the under-study Urdu novel Sasa is a tragedy set in the 21st century. The incident of 11th September 2001, stands as a poignant historical event, reshaping the global political landscape in mere hours. This paper analyses the novel Sasa delving into the far-reaching consequences of the twin tower demolition in New York, particularly resonating across the Muslim world. The repercussions of this calamitous and violent incident extend beyond geographical borders, leaving an indelible mark on nations such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq. However, a significant facet of this impact is observed through the lens of Pakistani Muslims residing in the United States and Western countries, who directly grappled with the aftermath of the tragedy. Central to the novel's narrative are characters who embody the multifaceted questions surrounding the motivations behind the tragedy. These questions are intricately woven into the characters' actions and dialogues, unravelling a complex interplay of political, social, and economic issues. As the characters navigate their identities both domestically and abroad, themes of identity, conflict, and harmony emerge as pivotal touchpoints. Within the narrative, Muslim characters hopelessly long for a path of peace amidst the prevailing tide of war, intolerance and animosity propagated by Western and European media. Central to the novel's narrative is a character named Saleem who embodies the multifaceted questions. In quest of his long hunted answer to the question of Love he travels to America, but he had to face hatred instead. This research employs a qualitative analysis approach, utilizing textual analysis and thematic exploration to unearth the layers of meaning embedded within the characters' experiences and interactions. By contextualizing the characters within a global framework, this study seeks to shed light on the intricate web of human emotions, motivations, and responses triggered by Sasa. Ultimately, the findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the broader sociopolitical repercussions of traumatic events and underline the importance of nuanced narratives that counter prevailing biases and prejudices.

Исследовано влияние термической обработки, температуры нагрева и скорости охлаждения после отпуска, нормализации и отжига на хладостойкость трубной стали категории прочности К60. Показано, что старение металла, не прошедшего противофлокенную обработку в течение 33 недель, а также увеличение скорости охлаждения после отжига приводит к повышению хладостойкости. Охарактеризовано влияние эвтектоидного превращения на процессы молизации атомарного водорода на межфазной границе феррит/цементит. Расширены научные представления теории водородной хрупкости.
A change in the amount of the viscous component was established when testing with a falling load during the aging process of metal that has and has not undergone anti-flake treatment. The influence of heat treatment, heating temperature and cooling rate after tempering, normalization and annealing on the cold resistance of pipe steel of strength category K60 was studied. Aging of metal that has not undergone anti-flake treatment for 33 weeks, as well as an increase in the cooling rate after annealing, leads to an increase in cold resistance. The influence of the eutectoid transformation on the processes of molization of atomic hydrogen at the ferrite/cementite interface is characterized. The scientific understanding of the theory of hydrogen fragility has been expanded.

Показана возможность представления процесса дрессировки оцинкованной холоднокатаной полосы как совместная деформация бинарной системы цинк–сталь. Подтверждено, что совместная пластическая деформация компонентов оцинкованной полосы как единой целой при ее дрессировке происходит при достижении критической толщины слоя цинка. Процесс репродукции микрогеометрии текстурированной поверхности валка на оцинкованной холоднокатаной полосе при ее дрессировке рассмотрен как процесс заполнения микровпадин валка контактируемым с ним материалом. Получена математическая зависимость для расчета коэффициента отпечатываемости параметров текстурированной поверхности дрессировочного валка на оцинкованной холоднокатаной полосе в зависимости от толщины и механических свойств цинкового покрытия и стальной полосы, характеристик оборудования, режимов и условий ее дрессировки, а также от параметров шероховатости поверхности валка S, Ra и pc. Дана сравнительная оценка влияния технологических параметров дрессировки на степень репродукции микрогеометрии поверхности валка на оцинкованной холоднокатаной полосе.
The possibility of presenting the process of levelling a galvanized cold-rolled strip as a joint deformation of a binary zinc-steel system is shown. It is confirmed that the joint plastic deformation of the components of the galvanized strip as a whole during its levelling occurs when the critical thickness of zinc is reached. The process of reproducing the microgeometry of the textured surface of the roll on a galvanized cold-rolled strip during its levelling is considered as the process of filling the micro-cavities of the roll with the material in contact with it. A mathematical dependence is obtained for calculating the coefficient of imprintability of the parameters of the textured surface of a levelling roll on a galvanized cold-rolled strip, depending on the thickness and mechanical properties of the zinc coating and steel strip, equipment characteristics, modes and conditions of its levelling, as well as on the parameters of the rough surface of the roll S, Ra and Pc. A comparative assessment of the influence of the technological parameters of levelling on the degree of reproduction of the microgeometry of the roll surface on a galvanized cold-rolled strip is given.

Authors: Kiseleva O. A. 
Published: June 2024

The subject. The number of authors who consistently try in their works to “bury” international justice, as well as international law itself, behind the ideas of politicization, bias and unenforceability, has grown significantly today. The political and legal developments of modern international law should still be assessed comprehensively and in detail. First of all, legal events are the is Judgment on the merits of the International Court of Justice of January 31, 2024, case of Application of the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Ukraine vs. Russian Federation).Materials and methods. This research carried out a scientific analysis of the Judgment on the merits of the ICJ dated January 31, 2024. The subject of the study also included other law enforcement acts of the International Court of Justice in this case and in other cases, as well as normative acts of international law.Discussion. The judgment on the merits of the UN International Court of Justice dated January 31, 2024 was one of the most expected and unexpected for many. It is an ambiguous event that requires multifactor analysis. The author analyzed the procedure for considering this dispute, the stated subject and basis of the dispute in conjunction with the decisions of the Court itself on jurisdiction, and assessed the adopted final decisions on the merits of the dispute. It is safe to say that for Russia this decision of the Court is in many ways positive. The positions of the Court in the examined act allow us to draw conclusions not only on the issues of the dispute itself, on the merits of which it was decided, but also regarding the advisability of preserving international justice, which has shown viability and independence.The main results and conclusions. The author analyzes the case review process, the subject of the dispute, which was declared by the applicant and actually considered by the Court, in conjunction with the judgments of the Court on the issue of jurisdiction, and the author gave a legal assessment of the final judgment on the merits of the case. It is safe to say that this Court,s judgment has a positive meaning in many aspects for Russian Federation. The positions of the Court in the act examined allow us to draw conclusions not only on the issues of the case itself, on the merits of which it was rendered, but also on the expediency of preserving international justice, which has shown viability and independence.In addition, the International Court limited itself to proving Russia's guilt in only two minor episodes of international legal violations of the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism of 1999 and of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination of 1965. The Court avoided from orders for damages.
