MODERNIZATION OF BOTTOM SEDIMENT SCOURING PROCESS IN RVSP 20000 TANKS
Authors: Babakin A. D. 
Published: January 2024

According to the existing norms a tank should be necessarily taken out of operation once in 8-10 years for diagnostic works. The most labor-intensive part is removal of paraffin deposits from its bottom. In this regard, the main purpose of the study is to study the technology of the process of scouring bottom sediments in steel vertical cylindrical tanks with a pontoon volume of 20000 m3 (RVSP 20000) and modeling the operation of various cleaning devices to determine the most effective of them.
The RVSP 20000 tank includes a device for bottom sediment scouring «DIOGEN-700». In the process of its operation under the action of the rotating blade of the propeller a jet of liquid is created, which mixes oil in the tank due to circular movement of streams. The greatest ac- cumulation of paraffin trace is observed in the-near-wall zone of the tank, therefore there is a need to find a new method of hydromechanical prevention of sludge accumulation on the bottoms of oil tanks.
As the main device for bottom cleaning it is proposed to use a stirring jet device («UPS-EVNAT»). It divides one main stream into several equal parts. As a result, the area of sediment scouring is higher than when using standard equipment.
In this work, the turbulent string flow with the use of screw agitator «DIOGEN-700» and with the use of «UPS-EVNAT» was modeled. The revealed results allow to assert that the application of agitating jet device allows to realize better quality erosion of paraffin deposits and cover a larger area in comparison with «DIOGEN-700».
TURBOCALIBRATOR FOR CONSTRUCTION OF INCLINED AND HORIZONTAL WELLS IN CONDITIONS OF UNSTABLE ROCK FORMATIONS
Authors: Zalyatdinov A. A. , Sabanov S. L. 
Published: January 2024

Horizontal and directional wells drilling allows to cover larger surface areas of the field with a less dense well grid. However, such wells constructing has its own specific challenges, one of which is the proper development of the drilled intervals to prevent cave-in.
It is proposes a design of a turbocalibrator, characterized by the rotation of the calibrating component through the hydraulic drive system without rotating the column itself.
This proposed technical solution will significantly reduce time of well construction, as it enables simultaneous drilling and calibrating of the wellbore, reduces the number of development operations and tripping operations, especially in cases where rotating the bottomhole assembly is prohibited.
Pedagógusok tapasztalatai a fogyatékosságok iránti szemléletformálás témájában
Authors: Tóth-Szerecz Ágnes 
Published: January 2024

A hatályos hazai, közneveléshez kapcsolódó dokumentumok tartalmaznak olyan elemeket, amelyek elősegíthetik a fogyatékosságok iránti érzékenyítést. A Nemzeti alaptanterv értelmében kiemelendő alapelv a tanulók közti különbségek, eltérések természetes elfogadása. A kerettantervek áttekintésekor pedig a tananyaghoz kapcsolódóan látszik, hogy folyamatosan jelen van a szociális kompetenciák fejlesztése. A társadalmi érzékenyítés témakörében nagy szerepet kapnak a köznevelési intézmények, valamint az abban oktató-nevelő munkát végző pedagógusok is. A köznevelés fontos szereplőiként jelentősége van annak, hogy a gyakorló pedagógusok hogyan vélekednek a fogyatékosság iráni érzékenyítés megvalósíthatóságáról, s milyen lehetőségek elérhetőek számukra.
Jelen empirikus jellegű kutatásban az alsó tagozaton, többségi általános iskolákban dolgozó pedagógusok (n = 243) körében online és papíralapú kérdőív segítségével került felmérésre, hogy a fogyatékosságok elfogadása iránti szemléletformálás módszerét alkalmazzák-e valamilyen formában az általuk tanított osztályokban. Az eredmények tükrében a felmért populáció nyitottnak bizonyult az érzékenyítő foglalkozások, programok iránt, de külső szakmai segítség nélkül elenyésző arányban jellemző annak alkalmazása. Az érzékenyítő programok közül keveset ismernek, csak egy szűk réteg vesz részt osztályával külső helyszínen megvalósuló rendezvényeken. A nevelési intézményen belüli lehetőségekkel többen élnek, érzékenyítő programokhoz csatlakozva, vagy osztályfőnöki órán tárgyalva erről.
A tantárgyak közül leginkább az etika és a magyar irodalom vonatkozásában találkoztak a fogyatékosság témájával, vagy ahhoz köthető illusztrációval. Amennyiben a tananyagban találkoztak a fogyatékossággal, szinte minden pedagógus elmélyedt a fogyatékosságok iránti érzékenyítésben, a kapcsolódó ismeretek átadásával. A válaszadó pedagógusok közel fele a közneveléshez köthető dokumentumokban (Nemzeti alaptanterv, kerettantervek, tankönyvek) nem ismeri azokat az irányelveket, amelyek lehetőséget teremtenek a szemléletformálásra.

Authors: Saeed Kamal , Salih Shewaz 
Published: January 2024

BackgroundBreast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women, with incidence and mortality increasing markedly with age.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the clinicopathological features and biological behaviors of breast cancer patients in elderly Kurdish women.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated the clinicopathological and biological features of breast cancer in elderly Kurdish women (≥65 years; n = 143) between 2015 and 2021. This cross-sectional study was carried out at the Hiwa haematology-oncology hospital in the Iraqi Kurdistan province of Sulaymaniyah. According to age, patients were divided into groups 1 (65–74 years, N=112) and 2 (75 years or older, N=31). Clinicopathological characteristics including tumor histology, histological grade, estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) status, molecular subtypes, tumor sizes (T), lymph node status (N), lymphovascular invasion (LVI), distant metastasis (M), clinical stage, and tumor focality with laterality were all assessed.
ResultsThe mean age of the study population was 71.4. The most common histopathological type of breast cancer was invasive ductal carcinoma, followed by invasive lobular carcinoma and papillary carcinoma. Hormone receptor positivity rates were high, and the HER2 status was mostly negative. Luminal A and B (79.7%) were the most frequent types; triple negative (15.2%) was high. The mean age was 72.3 for group 1 (range 65-74) and 84.9 for group 2 (range 75 and older). Excluding symptomatic presentation, progesterone receptor status, and metastasis category, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups. At the time of presentation, every patient in group 2 had symptoms (p=0.047).
ConclusionOur study results showed that breast cancer in the elderly (≥65 years) patients in Kurdish seemed to have more aggressive clinical, pathological, and biological characteristics than older women worldwide.

Authors: Chandrashekhar kumar Et al. 
Published: January 2024

Serving the needs of human beings is much more important to us. So, considering how to service the product or provide medicinal support is also very important to reach the destination. While supported by the local field-side forces, it is going through delays and getting affected by the delays in medical treatment. Why this failure in medical support? To avoid this delay, I have come up with a trend in technology in real life to send things like oxygen to the nearby hospital and make it emergency support on an urgent basis. At the same time, we can look for college and industry, food, and grocery items that we can utilize for the same methods. We can make it using AI technology used in the drone system and so by using different scales of sensors and cameras for recognition for bill service for auto-detection and bill payment as well. Nowadays, most people try to use their outside food purchases quickly, so we can get it via air drone easily without delay. This process is unintentionally free and GPS-based, with an advantage system to track the location. And confirmation of customer detection can help to unlock the lock-unlock the drone's locked body, get material, and lock the door once service is received. If there is any unwanted attack, it will be updated with the tracking system. There is an anti-drone system used here. This activity can be avoided.
Statistical Features of Seismicity Associated with Large Earthquakes on the Chinese Continent between 2008 and 2019 Based on Newly Detected Catalogs

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The Chinese continent is seismically active and is an important region for analyzing statistical behaviors of large intraplate earthquake sequences. A systematic and detailed record of large earthquake sequences provides the basis for such analysis in a tectonically complex region. In this study, using a graphic processing units-accelerated matched filter technique, we detected up to five times more events than standard earthquake catalogs to generate newly detected catalogs for 32 Ms≥6.0 earthquakes on the Chinese continent from October 2008 to December 2019. The statistical analysis of the newly detected high-resolution catalogs showed that strike-slip mainshocks have higher potential to have anomalous foreshock sequences but are followed by fewer aftershocks than those with other faulting styles. We also provided an example for the 2014 Yingjiang, Yunnan, earthquake sequence, in which the b-value shows a reduction for foreshock sequences and is followed by a recovery in the aftershock period. Our detected catalogs can be used to further study statistical behaviors of earthquake sequences, which is essential for understanding earthquake interaction and improving seismic hazard assessment on the Chinese continent and around the world.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential for nursing professionals to acquire, maintain and improve the knowledge and skills required to provide person-centered care that is safe and effective. CPD aims to improve nurses' competence, safety, and professionalism. One of the factors that influence nurses to continuously improve their competence is the influence of nurse managers. Lack of manager leadership can result in low nurse involvement in the CPD program so that opportunities for competency improvement are reduced. PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital has a number of nurse managers who have the competence as clinical nurse assessors. One of the nurse manager's duties is to conduct performance appraisals to nursing staff under their responsibility. This performance assessment is intended as a form of monitoring and evaluation of nurses' competence in doing their work and in maintaining or even improving their nursing care delivery skills. Based on preliminary studies that have been conducted, 2 main problems were found, firstly, the guidelines for competency assessment by nurse managers have not yet existed, and secondly, the ability of nurse managers to conduct competency assessments is not equal. These two things urgently require attention from hospital management so that the assessments carried out can be objective, and the results can really map the competence of nurses based on actual skills. Community service activities to help solve partner problems were carried out in 3 stages, namely preparation, implementation, and evaluation followed by reporting. As a result, the nurse manager's knowledge improves, as evidenced by the pretest and posttest results, which also show an increase. It is hoped that this activity will continue to be carried out with the development of activities in order to improve the quality of nurses.

Published: January 2024

Gotong royong (mutual cooperation) is one of the local wisdom that reflects the noble values ​​of achieving common goals. Some of the activities carried out in gotong royong include the construction of places of worship, irrigation booths, village roads, and other public facilities. With a voluntary spirit and for the common goal of Bonggalan Padukuhan (sub-village) which has 3 RTs, gotong royong activities often ignore aspects of occupational safety and health (K3). Therefore, it is necessary to seek a way to improve the quality of gotong royong through education about the importance of occupational safety and health work. The proposed solution to overcome this problem is to conduct Occupational Safety and Health (K3) training. The method applied to this capacity-building scheme is brainstorming and lesson learning (field practice) on a construction project planned by residents. The technique for community development that was applied is Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Based on the method and stages of the program, this community development is targeted to have funding in the form of publications in journals/proceedings, mass media, and social media.

Abstract. Padukuhan Kawedan is located in Bangunkerto village, Subdistrict Turi, Sleman, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The people in Kawedan are a transitional population, already developed; the older generations work as farmers; many younger generations have already studied at least at the senior high school level; and some are in universities. The kampong environment is clean and green. It has five rukun tetangga and active community-based organizations. Kawedan has 2 schools and 2 mosques. 50% of the population are farmers, and the rest work in the private sector and as civil servants. 70% of the population is of productive age, and the rest are elderly. The COVID-19 pandemic that hit Kawedan in early 2020 has had quite a big effect on Kawedan’s economy. It hit the microbusinesses, postponing the launch of the tourism village in Kawedan. The community service team feels that developing a community website based on Kawedan village will help to recover the situation. With a sufficient number of educated young people, we believe the maintenance of the village website will be in good hands.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Kokap sub-district is the sub-district with the largest area when compared to other sub-districts in Kulon Progo Regency. The administrative area of Kokap District consists of 5 subdistricts, namely Hargomulyo, Hargorejo, Hargowilis, Kalirejo and Hargotirto. The types of plants cultivated in the Kokap area include food crops, crops, plantations and horticulture such as vegetables and fruits. Durian is not included in the list of plants grown in the Kokap District area, because Durian is still cultivated in residents' yards with not as many other plants. Nonetheless, the PCM Kokap durian farmer organization has expressed the difficulties related to durian cultivation, including the problem of fruitless durian trees and the poor taste of the fruit's flesh, even when it succeeds in yielding fruit. The lack of knowledge about proper durian production methods is another issue that the locals must deal with. In addition, they have no idea how to take care of durian plants to ensure that they yield fruit with a sweet flavor. The solution offered to overcome this problem is counseling and cultivation practices and maintenance of durian plants in accordance with Good Agricultural Practices so that it is hoped that durian plants can bear fruit with a sweet taste of fruit flesh. The results of the activity show an increase in knowledge and skills of durian farmers regarding durian cultivation practices that are in accordance with good agricultural practices and efforts to make durian plants bear sweet fruit. Farmers' awareness of applying fertilization or booster/hormonal treatments to plants increased by 17%.
