Trade in torture tools threatens detainees and protestors everywhere - it must be banned.

With social upheaval, economic strain, and political unrest growing, peaceful demonstrations worldwide are increasingly met with brutal tactics by law enforcement and security forces. The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture outlines her call for States to negotiate a new international treaty to ban the manufacture, use and trade in "torture tools" and regulate the trade in law enforcement equipment. Her proposal outlines two critical components: a prohibited list of items that she has deemed to be inherently cruel, inhuman or degrading, and a second controlled list of ordinary law enforcement equipment that has a high risk of misuse. Effective international regulation is imper-ative to curb the indiscriminate use of force by law enforcement and to uphold human dignity. Improved national regulation is also required. Research has revealed a pervasive market for these items, with more than 335 companies in 54 countries manufacturing or promoting the most egre-gious torture instruments. Major producers include China, the EU, and the USA, with emerging economies also contributing significantly. The outsourcing of public functions to private security companies further exacerbates the issue, underscoring the pressing need for robust national and international regulations.

DEVELOPMENT TRENDS OF UKRAINIAN SCHOOLS CONSIDERING INCLUSIVITY

Modern educational institutions of Ukraine need improvement and adaptation to the current realities of life. The article highlights directions for improving architectural and planning solutions of Ukrainian schools, taking into account modern requirements for security measures and features of educational development. The problems related to the adaptation of inclusive children and the creation of a barrier-free, modern and safe educational environment within educational institutions were analyzed. The analysis of regulatory documentation was carried out and a list of recommendations for improving existing conditions was highlighted using the example of Lviv schools. Most of the general educational institutions of Ukraine were built in the second half of the 20th century. Normative design requirements change every decade under the influence of certain events. Most of the innovations have taken place in the last few years. The long months of the pandemic and the war made significant adjustments to the requirements for school buildings, taking into account their functional purpose. Over the past few years, our society has suffered considerable losses due to the aggressive military intervention of a neighboring state on our peaceful towns and villages. Air attacks and destruction of Ukrainian settlements continue. Since Ukrainian schools have recently embarked on the path of inclusiveness, there are still no clearly defined standards and protocols aimed at improving the school environment. The list of equipment, specialized or additional premises, and layout features in educational institutions is being supplemented and improved at this stage. There is an urgent need to study the planning of the buildings of educational institutions in order to identify areas of reconstruction to create optimally safe and comfortable conditions. The composition of school buildings is based on two factors: the staggered organization of the student body and the grouping of rooms according to their functional purpose. The solution of convenient communications between all functional areas of the educational institution, and the provision of the necessary premises for the comfortable stay of students with various needs is an important task during the design and modernization of schools. Ukrainian schools are already on the way to improving and rethinking school spaces. Limited information about the needs of different learners, the nature of existing infrastructure and opportunities complicates the entire process. Adaptation of schools to the needs of the disabled and their learning in a group requires a rethinking of the generally accepted planning of educational institutions, the implementation of flexible planning for optimal use of space, the creation of a barrier-free environment not only for children, but also for parents with special needs.

Sustainable equipment donation in otolaryngology in low-resource settings.

The purpose of this review is to examine current practices in surgical equipment donation to lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with a particular focus on otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS). This is designed as a pragmatic review to guide potential donor communities to implement sustainable OHNS equipment donation in LMICs. LMICs are increasingly reliant on international equipment donation. In terms of OHNS services, global OHNS have compiled a list of essential equipment for baseline care in LMICs. Especially in terms of audiology, OHNS equipment donation has the potential to have a significant impact on populational health. However, there is a scarcity of research on donated equipment in OHNS. A suggested blueprint for sustainable equipment donation follows these steps: establish partnerships, assess needs, source equipment, and follow-up and evaluate the intervention. Key further considerations for sustainability include remanufacturing and repurposing methods, maintenance, and contextual understanding. Sustainable equipment donation in otolaryngology is an important part of global health equity and healthcare delivery in low-resource settings. Despite the good intentions behind medical equipment donations, there are many challenges; donors and recipients should engage in collaborative, needs-based planning processes that result in long-term sustainability, local capacity building, and community participation.

Port carbon emission peaking simulation and emission reduction pathway in China

In order to achieve the goal of “carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060”, all industries are fully engaged in energy conservation and carbon reduction work. Carbon emissions from the transportation sector account for nearly 10% of China's carbon emissions[1]. Port is an extremely important part of China's transportation industry, and it is also one of the key areas of energy conservation and emission reduction in the transportation industry. It is very important to carry out research on the status evaluation of port carbon emissions, predict the future trend of carbon emissions, and explore the strategy and path of port carbon peak. In this study, the carbon emission scenario prediction model based on the detailed list of port equipment was established to simulate the port carbon emissions. It is also applied to a northern port in China to study and judge the peak value and time point of carbon emission in the future, and propose the path of carbon peak in the port.

Economic justification for mushroom cultivation

The article presents the economic justification for cultivating two mushroom varieties: OUSTER type Oyster Mushroom and Flammulina velutipes Velvet Shank Mushroom over a period of three years. The process equipment list and the cost of the equipment are provided. The project implementation would require greenhouses with the area of about 300 square metres, one-off capital investments of about 7 million roubles. Detailed estimation of annual current costs is presented and the cost of production is evaluated. The expected production profitability during the first year of the project implementation is 16.5%, in the second year it is 23.2%, and it is more than 27% in the third year. The project would propose a feasible solution for both medium and small agrarian businesses.The issue of obtaining readily available (or so called fast) protein for complete human nutrition is of global concern. Producing animal protein requires a long time for rearing; poultry protein production takes a little less, a few months; to obtain protein from mushrooms one month is enough. Mushroom cultivation could be a solution to the global challenge of ensuring world food security, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal to end hunger. On the other hand, changing market needs for food, sanction embargo and the tasks of the government import substitution programme in Russia stresses the need for developing domestic production.

МЕТОДЫ ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЯ КОЛИЧЕСТВА И СОСТАВА РЕМОНТНЫХ БРИГАД ПРИ ВОССТАНОВЛЕНИИ ТЕХНИКИ

Energy resources (ES) that are part of the machine and tractor fleet, agricultural enterprise (Agricultural Enterprise), subject to intensive use, constantly need to maintain their working condition. The main problems of maintenance and repair of electrical systems and methods for solving them have been identified. A scheme for planning repairs at agricultural storage facilities has been determined. In conditions of limited time, medium and major repairs are proposed to be carried out by reassembly or by the aggregate-sectional method. It has been established that the main technical characteristics of the quality of repair bodies are the following indicators: the complexity of performing a certain type of repair on a given type of electrical system; repair cycle; repair intensity; working time fund. They are determined analytically and make it possible to evaluate the quality characteristics of repair bodies, determine the number and composition of repair teams at the enterprise, the list of repair work, etc. The norms for time expenditure (labor intensity) for performing each individual repair operation, which are also the norms for the production of repairmen, are determined in the process of repairing equipment by timing. When statistically processing the results of timing the time of repair work, the estimated norms of labor costs for individual types of work and the total costs of performing current, medium and major repairs for each type of electrical system are determined. Then the following is determined: lists of necessary equipment, instrumentation, equipment, tools and spare parts; technology of repair work; the required number of repair teams, workshops, workshops, sites, work areas and repair specialists; duration of the repair cycle; production standards for repair specialists; intensity of repairs; list of specialties, qualification level and productivity of each repairman. The implementation of theoretically based methods for determining the number and composition of repair teams when restoring power supply systems will expand the capabilities of the enterprise's repair bodies to restore equipment with faults of various types.

DEVELOPMENT OF A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR STUDYING THE TRANSIENT STARTING PROCESSES OF AN INDUCTION MOTOR WITH AN INDUCTION RHEOSTAT IN THE PHASE ROTOR CIRCUIT

The task of improving the reliability of lifting and handling equipment in today's economic environment remains a pressing one. Crane mechanisms, drawing mills, and rope machines are an incomplete list of equipment used at enterprises in various industries, and, as a rule, they are outdated. Particular attention should be paid to crane lifting and handling mechanisms that operate under shock loads, high vibration, and are exposed to aggressive environmental influences.
 Unfavorable operating conditions of the equipment lead to frequent repairs and systematic downtime. In this regard, a number of requirements are imposed on crane mechanisms: high fault tolerance, ease of maintenance, and reasonable price. These requirements are partially met by electric drives (ED), which are equipped with asynchronous motors with a phase rotor and additional resistances in the rotor circuit. As the latter, complete resistance cells with additional contact equipment are often used.
 Many years of experience in the operation of such installations shows that the use of such ED on crane mechanisms leads to a number of negative consequences: 1) reduction of the reliability of the ED due to the use of power switching equipment; 2) the need to periodically involve repair personnel to maintain contact equipment; 3) increase in the weight and dimensions of the ED.
 In the current situation, improving the reliability of crane equipment is an urgent task that can be solved by using induction rheostats in the phase rotor circuit of the IM. This approach eliminates the contact equipment in the rotor and avoids the use of a stepwise switching system for starting resistances, and, due to the nonlinear electromagnetic parameters of the IR, ensures a smooth start of the IMP with a given current. The resulting power losses in the rotor circuit are carried out beyond the IM volume. In this case, the mechanical characteristic of the IMP acquires the desired excavator type.

It has been established that there are examples of effective equipment that meets the requirements for technical equipment of BAT. A number of equipment has been proposed for inclusion in the List.

Comprehensive and quantitative evaluation for selecting a suitable scheme of central air-conditioning during the design phase

As for routinely selecting the number and size of chillers in central air-conditioning system, the conventional scheme in which the total cooling capacity is allocated in an equal or empirical way is generally suboptimal. A few factors are brought into consideration, and the time domain of evaluation is too short. The low suitability between the cooling load of building and the scheme selected results in an inefficient state of system during the most of operation time. Some novel methods provide long-term evaluations for selecting an efficient scheme by simulating the cooling loads then calculating the cost and performance of the scheme. However, the schemes are formed without correlating actual plants which is difficult to be applied to an actual project, and the long-term environmental impact is rarely considered. The evaluation method with a high engineering value is required. But the more complicated the method is, the more work is required. The relationship between the benefits and the costs is unknown. Therefore, this study proposes three evaluation methods at different levels. From simple to complex, the three methods are corresponding the cooling load curve of building calculated through EnergyPlus to the performance curves of chillers, system simulation using TRNSYS and co-simulation based on BCVTB respectively. A case study using a hospital building located in Zhejiang province, China combined with equipment list was conducted to demonstrate the evaluation process. The results calculated by different methods and the various indexes of different schemes were compared to illustrate how to optimize the scheme selection during the design phase in order to select a suitable scheme for a certain building reducing the energy consumption and carbon emission.

Analysis of the List of Main Technological Equipment Operated in Case of Application of the Best Available Technologies

It was proposed to supplement the list with sets (systems) of equipment, to include the position “Recommended equipment manufacturers” including foreign ones provided there is no similar domestic equipment.

A88Designing a Multidisciplinary Chest Drain Course

In 2008 the National Patient Safety Agency reported 12 patient deaths directly related to chest drain insertion over a 3-year period. Since then there have been calls from publications highlighting the need for better education for clinicians [1]. Simulation has been shown to improve chest drain insertion technique [2], and multi-disciplinary simulation can encourage teamwork and communication skills [3]. Given that this procedure is an essential requirement for anaesthetic, intensive care, emergency medicine and internal medicine trainees, we decided to introduce a multi-disciplinary simulation course for the insertion of chest drains. A basic needs analysis was carried out with stakeholders. Initially the course was designed to run for half a day, with a maximum of 12 candidates and a minimum of 3 faculty. A course timetable, course manual, equipment list and pre- and post-course feedback questionnaires were created. The course begins with a lecture, followed by three simulation-based workshops, which the candidates rotate between. These cover seldinger and surgical chest drain insertion, and the basics of chest ultrasound, using ultrasoundable chest drain manikins. Feedback from the first course in July 2022 suggested that there should be a designated faculty team leader and healthy volunteers for the ultrasound workshop. We implemented this feedback and ran the course again in December 2022. Candidates were asked to rate their post course confidence at performing the procedure, with a score ranging between 1 and 7 (each number was assigned a qualitative value with 1 being unable to perform the procedure and 7 being extremely confident in performing the procedure). After the first course, the average score was 5 points. After the second, the average increased to 5.5. The course ran for a third time in April 2023, during which the duration of the workshops was increased and a lecture on aftercare was added. The average post course confidence score was 5.7. All candidates felt that the session fully met the learning objectives and would recommend the course to others. After implementing changes to our course including assigning a faculty team leader, recruiting healthy volunteers, increasing the time spent in workshops and adding a session on aftercare, there has been an improvement in the candidates’ average post course confidence at performing chest drains and qualitative candidate feedback was positive. We would recommend our course structure to others designing a chest drain course. Authors confirm that all relevant ethical standards for research conduct and dissemination have been met.

Experimental and Theoretical Justification of the Foam Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Application Expediency in Earthquake-Resistant Construction

Introduction. Based on the evolutionary approach to the analysis of the lightweight concrete application expediency in earthquake-resistant construction it has been revealed that development of the above mentioned technologies fosters the reduced material consumption in construction and the increased durability of buildings under the seismic loads. The efficient solutions for constructing the earthquake-resistant buildings are constantly searched for, and the reasons for reducing the range of energy-efficient products made of the autoclaved aerated concrete are noticed. The research is aimed at compiling an inventory of modern technological methods of increasing the buildings seismic resistance.Materials and Methods. The list and properties of raw materials used for single-stage technology manufacture of the foam concrete mixtures have been provided. The list of equipment used for assessing the studied materials’ mechanical properties has been defined.Results. The new experimental data confirming the significant influence of the individual properties of fiber on the value of the dispersedly reinforced foam concrete ultimate deformability and bending tensile strength has been obtained. The positive effect of the length of fiber on the foam concrete mechanical properties has been confirmed. The considerably positive effect of the dispersed reinforcement on the homogeneity of mechanical properties observed in the foam concrete mass has been distinguished.Discussion and Conclusions. The work performed has elucidated the importance of the individual properties of fiber as a tool for managing the operational properties of foam concrete. The ultimate properties of the aerated rock material are influenced by the length of fibers and their ultimate deformability. The length of fiber is important for the bending tensile strength, whereas the values of this parameter in the composite material are regulated by the ultimate extensibility.

NanoSMAD – A First Order System Configuration Design Tool for Nano and Micro Satellites

The emergence of nano and micro satellites, which weigh less than 100 kg, is causing a significant transformation in the space industry. The existing Space Mission Analysis and Design (SMAD) tools, which are primarily designed for larger satellites, often become irrelevant for these smaller satellites in terms of spacecraft mass, power, pointing requirement, total mission duration, fault tolerance, and design cost. To address this, we have developed a web based nanoSMAD tool specifically for designers of nano and micro satellites. This tool utilizes a comprehensive database of approximately 140 nano and micro satellites along with their internal subsystem specifications. By using the nanoSMAD tool, designers can efficiently develop nano and micro satellite systems by entering their requirements, which then generates high-level system design and requirement specifications. This process enables the tool to provide a basic satellite configuration design and generates a Master Equipment List (MEL) of subsystems. To further customize the design, users can provide more specific parameter inputs or select components from a drop-down menu, resulting in an iterative custom design approach. The satellite database used by the nanoSMAD tool is regularly updated through online surveys, including web scraping, to gather information on the latest non-space-grade off-the-shelf nano and micro satellite subsystems. This ensures that the tool stays up-to-date with the newest advancements in the field. Additionally, the nanoSMAD tool offers a unique feature of verifying the electrical interface compatibility of subsystems, which is an innovative aspect of the tool. Novice small satellite communities will greatly benefit from the nanoSMAD tool as it seamlessly generates an initial nano and micro satellite system design, providing a first-order understanding of the satellite’s configuration and requirements.

A novel non-intrusive load monitoring method based on ResNet-seq2seq networks for energy disaggregation of distributed energy resources integrated with residential houses

The increasing effects of global warming and energy depletion have raised concerns about the pollution caused by traditional oil and fossil energy usage. Distributed energy resources (DERs) have emerged as promising techniques to address these issues. However, the growing proportion of power injection from DERs presents technical challenges such as power quality decline and power flow reversal, which may destabilize the grid. Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is a promising and cost-effective approach that can provide residential power information to improve grid scheduling, dispatching, and optimize residential power consumption behavior. This paper proposes a novel NILM method that can decompose the power of both household appliances and DERs integrated with residential houses. The proposed approach employs a data segment method that utilizes adaptive window lengths to identify the behavior of DERs based on the operating periods and characteristics of different equipment. A non-intrusive load monitoring method is proposed based on the ResNet-seq2seq framework to address the problem of model degradation and gradient vanishing. Post-processing techniques are applied to the output results using a feature list of the target equipment. Experiments are conducted on a dataset organized based on the REDD and Pecan Street datasets to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that compared to the start-of-the-art CNN-seq2seq model, the proposed method achieved 54.95%, 69.18%, 56.95%, and 84.98% reduction in MAE for PV, EV, refrigerators, and microwaves, respectively.
