Validation of the impedance spectroscopy method (MSID2/3) for NDT and SHM research in the power industry

The article presents a method for diagnosing steel blades of a high pressure steam turbine by analyzing the frequency of the electrical and magnetic parameters of the material during its operation. The methodology is historically derived from the analysis of normalized impedance components for defect detection and material selection. It was developed by and his research team. The extended possibilities of diagnostic tests of Multipoint Impedance Spectroscopy (SID2/3) are described, including material degradation processes and not only con tinuity defects. The test results were compared with structural studies, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X ray spectrometry (EDS) and wavelength dispersive (WDS). Impedance spectroscopy takes a significant place in diagnostic tests (NDT and SHM) in domestic literature and, thanks to the author, also in foreign literature. The topic was also presented at the World NDT Congress in Munich in 2018 [23]. Articles on this topic can be found on the NDT.net website [24]. Impedance spectroscopy is the subjec t of two doctoral theses and the promotion of Doctors of Technical Sciences [27, 28]. The thematic area covered by this article is mainly aimed at comparing the results with several selected methods.

GEOGRAPHICAL EDUCATION AND SCIENCE AT LVIV UNIVERSITY: HISTORY AND ТODAY

The history of geographical education and science at Lviv University is considered. The Austrian scientist Beltazar Hacquet should be considered the forerunner of geography at the university. In 1882, Emperor Franz Joseph issued an order to establish a geography department at the university's philosophy faculty, and in 1883, the education of geographers began. In 1911, the geography department was called the Institute of Geography, and later again the department. In 1945, the faculty of geography was created with four departments: general and physical geography, regional physical geography, economic geography, and geodesy and cartography. The bibliographic data of famous scientists who worked at the geography faculty in different years are presented. The formation and development of geography at Lviv University is associated with such famous figures as Antony Reman, Hryhoriy Velychko, Stepan Rudnytskyi, Yuriy Polyanskyi, Olena Stepaniv, Petro Tsis, Kalenyk Gerenchuk, Opanas Vashchenko, Havrylo Miller, Fedir Zastavnyi, Anatoliy Melnyk, Bohdan Mukha, Myron Kit, Semen Kukurudza, Oleg Shablii, Yaroslav Kravchuk, and others. The history of the formation and development of structural divisions of the Faculty of Geography is described. Currently, the faculty is a powerful educational and scientific institution that includes nine departments: geoecology and physical geography, economic and social geography, geomorphology and paleogeography, rational use of natural resources and protection of nature, geography of Ukraine, soil science and geography of soils, constructive geography and cartography, tourism, and hotel and restaurant business and food technologies.The educational process is provided by 116 lecturers, of whom 16 are doctors of science, professors and 86 candidates of science, associate professors. For their significant personal contribution to the development of geographical education and science, many teachers received the honorary titles of “Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine”, “Honored Worker of Education of Ukraine”, “Honored Professor of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv”. Keywords: geography; education; science; Lviv University; Faculty of Geography; chair; scientist; research.

Isomorphic tensions and anxiety in UK social science doctoral provision

ABSTRACT Scholars assert that, worldwide, doctoral provision is increasingly characterised by accelerated scales of production, competitive funding, centralised administration, and interdisciplinary, cohort-based training. The situation in the UK appears to mirror this picture but scholars have long noted that national settings mediate the forms that broader trends take. We therefore examined the case of the UK’s social science doctorates, which have seen both marked growth and a range of policy changes, to explore the potential extent of alignment with these trends. Invoking institutional isomorphism, a conceptual framework which asserts how convergence can be driven by different factors, we interviewed senior staff at a range of UK HEIs to examine the activities and underlying rationales behind their social science doctoral provision. We were able to establish that, while there is a degree of isomorphism around their social science doctorates, this is a complex and uneven situation because different kinds of HEIs are subject to a varying combination of simultaneous and often conflicting forces. Our analysis highlights not only how the relationship between national policies and higher education culture can be fraught, but also how organisations’ individual positioning and history has implications for how they are able to act in policy contexts.

New horizons in the delegation of government functions on attestation of personnel of higher scientific qualification

Aim. To assess the prospects of development of the network of councils for thesis defence for the degree of candidate of sciences, for the degree of doctor of sciences (dissertation councils — DCs) in the new conditions determined by the amendments introduced in the Federal Law of 23 August 1996 No. 127-FZ “On Science and State Scientific and Technical Policy”, which expand the range of organisations that have the right to independently create DCs. To investigate, on the basis of the analysis of the work of “pilot” DCs, a possible quantitative balance between the number of DCs created in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia and the number of DCs created within the framework of the implementation of the right of organisations to independently award academic degrees.Tasks. To analyse the share of defences in the “pilot” DCs in relation to the total number of defences in 2017-2021; to investigate how the range of scientific specialties in the “pilot” DCs has changed in comparison with the DCs that were operating in organisations before they received the right to independently award degrees; to study the share of DCs and defences in organisations that in 2022 received the right to independently award degrees to assess the prospects for changing the structure of the attestation system.Methods. In order to obtain quantitative indicators, statistical materials from open sources were used.Results. “Pilot” organisations in general retained the structure of previously operating on their basis DSs, while expanding the range of scientific specialties. In the organisations that received in 2022 the right to independently award scientific degrees, in 2021 there were 290 DCs established by orders of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, which is about 17 % of the network of relevant DCs.Conclusions. Expansion of the powers of leading educational and research organisations will significantly change the share of DCs created by orders of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia in the overall attestation system. This will have a positive effect on the reproduction of personnel in such organisations due to the integration of the processes of training and attestation of scientific personnel. For applicants from organisations that do not have the opportunity to independently create DCs, due to the reduction in the number of DCs created in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, and additional requirements imposed on the applicant in DCs created within the framework of the implementation of the organisations’ right to independently award degrees, the defence procedure may be significantly delayed due to the complication of the choice of the place of defence.
