СНИЖЕНИЕ РИСКОВ И УГРОЗ ТЕХНОГЕННОЙ ОПАСНОСТИ, ВЫЗВАННОЙ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕМ ОПАСНЫХ ОТХОДОВ ПРИ ДЕМОНТАЖЕ ОБЪЕКТОВ НЕДВИЖИМОСТИ

Due to the increasing pace of renovation, the volume of work on the demolition of real estate objects is increasing. In the process of dismantling structures, there are threats and risks of environmental hazards caused by the man-made impact of the dismantling processes. A significant technospheric danger is the formation of toxic waste. Based on a systematic analysis of demolition methods and technologies, the paper proposes an organizational and technical scheme for the separate collection and accumulation of waste from dismantled objects, based on the principles of resource conservation, reuse of waste resource components, ensuring the prevention of environmental hazards in the sources of its formation.

Love burnout: young women, mobile phones, and delayed marriage in Yaoundé, Cameroon

AbstractThis article examines how work towards the promise of love marriage comes to be exhausted. It focuses on young urban women living in Yaoundé, Cameroon, trying to ‘catch’ a husband using digital technologies in which photographs figure prominently. Focusing on the visual production of dating profiles, I show how mobile phones place young women at the centre of their own husband‐catching pursuits. Through digital actions, these young women produce the promise of love marriage, but at the same time their actions require increased volumes of emotional work. As phones constantly compel young women to intensify their husband‐catching efforts and amplify the promise of love marriage, they rarely bring the desired results. Thus, young women, burdened by the emotional work necessary to sustain this promise, experience a form of love burnout, suspend their actions, and delay marriage. In highlighting the emotional laboriousness of intimate relations in technologically mediated worlds, this article draws out the limitations of the way in which the promise of love marriage is circulated and points to how neoliberal economies of affect may be temporarily suspended.

The Politics of State Recognition: Norms, Geopolitics, and the East Pakistan Crisis

Abstract In recent years, International Relations theorists have observed a resurgence in geopolitical rivalry, much of which is coalescing around cases of contested statehood. Yet, while there is a considerable volume of work on state recognition, the field would benefit from incorporating alternate approaches to geopolitics. A common approach entails treating geopolitical interests as independent variables for comparison against other factors. However, in prioritizing the comparison of variables, such work tells us less about how particular geopolitical interests arise in connection to cases of contested statehood. This paper therefore instead proposes a discursive approach to geopolitical interests. Following this approach, theorists will be able to treat grand strategies in a similar manner to the way the recognition scholarship already treats norms—as ideas that shape the dynamics of recognition but seldom point directly to specific recognition stances. By enabling theorists to account for the role of choice, contingency, and contestation in mediating grand strategies, this approach yields more comprehensive explanations of geopolitical interest and state recognition. In advancing its discursive approach to geopolitics and state recognition, this paper engages and extends recent constructivist work on grand strategy. The paper then illustrates the approach using the example of US policy toward the 1971 East Pakistan Crisis.

The connection between professional burnout of medical workers and the specific working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has certainly become a stressful event for medical workers, so the aim of this research was to study the pandemic-specific working conditions that may be associated with the professional burnout of medical workers in Russia.ObjectivesTo study the pandemic-specific working conditions that may be associated with the professional burnout of medical workers in Russia.MethodsThe Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to measure the level of professional burnout. It was filled out by medical workers from January 2021 to November 2022.The sample consisted of 314 medical workers (57 men and 255 women), whose average age was 36.97±11.93. According to the level of education, the sample included specialists with secondary general education (4.14%), with secondary special education (19.4%), with incomplete higher education (11.46%), with higher education (59.87%) and PhD (5.1%). 35 people (11%) of the surveyed medical workers worked in the red zone.ResultsWorking in the red zone is significantly associated with Emotional Exhaustion (p=0.002) and Depersonalization (p=0.002), but not with a Reduction in Professionalism. The working conditions of medical workers who were significantly associated simultaneously with Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization and Reduction of professionalism (respectively): (1) Lack of confidence in support from the health system and the state in case of illness (r=0.170, p=0.002; r=0.202, p=0.000; r=-0.171, 0. 002); (2) Inability to meet the usual personal needs (daily routine, nutrition, communication with loved ones) as employment increases at work (r=0.200, p=0.000; r=0.154, p=0.006; r=-0.186, 0. 001); (3) Lack of confidence in their own professional competence in the fight against COVID-19 due to lack of knowledge about COVID-19 (r=0.202, p=0.000; r=0.148, p=0.009; r=-0.211, 0. 000); (4) Lack of confidence in their own effectiveness in the fight against COVID-19 due to the increase in the volume of work and the expansion of the scope of professional responsibilities (r=0.234, p=0.000; r=0.152, p=0.007; r=-0.177, 0. 002); (5) Lack of access to up-to-date information about COVID-19 (r=0.190, p=0.001; r=0.158, p=0.005; r=-0.140, 0. 013).The Emotional Exhaustion scale is also associated with the fear of getting infected and getting sick with COVID-19 (r=0.125; p=0.026), as well as the lack of quick access to testing when COVID-19 symptoms appear (r=0.169; p=0.003).ConclusionsThus, not only work in the red zone, but also many specific working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic can become a provocateur factor for the deterioration of the emotional state of medical workers.Disclosure: Research is supported by the Russian Science Foundation, project No. 21-18-00624.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Визначення об’єму насипів методом GNSS та лазерного сканування

In the modern period, the calculation of volumes of embankments plays an important role in a number of industries, starting from construction and ending with mining. This calls for the improvement of methods and technologies to ensure accurate and operational calculations of embankment volumes. One of the promising directions in this context is the use of Triangulated Irregular Networks (TIN) and Mesh models based on data obtained during geodetic measurements. Surveying is a large amount of accurate spatial measurement data that is necessary to create detailed geometric models of objects. The obtained geodetic data allow creating TIN and Mesh models that reflect the relief of the land surface with the necessary accuracy and detail. The use of these models to calculate the volumes of embankments becomes a key element in improving the processes of design, construction and management of natural resources. The purpose of this work is to compare the accuracy of the calculation of embankment volumes based on the data obtained by the hand-held laser scanner Stonex X120GO and the GNSS receiver Stonex S700A. Method. The method of comparing equal-precision measurements was used. Since there were no reference volumes of embankments at the site of the works, the difference between the volumes calculated on the basis of the data obtained with the hand-held laser scanner Stonex X120GO and the GNSS receiver Stonex S700A was used. Also, comparative and visual analysis was used to compare the difference between Mesh models obtained on the basis of different data sources. The results. The accuracy of determining the volumes of embankments obtained by a handheld laser scanner Stonex X120GO and a GNSS receiver Stonex S700A was studied. The average error of the differences between the determined volumes was 4.62%. Point clouds and Mesh models themselves were also analyzed (number of points, triangles, surface shape). The advantages and disadvantages of using a GNSS receiver and a hand-held laser scanner to collect data for calculating the volumes of material mounds are identified. Scientific novelty and practical significance. A technique for checking the accuracy of determining the volume of embankments without known reference values is proposed. The influence of the embankment area error on the accuracy of volume determination was studied. According to the results of the study, it is possible to assert the advantages in the detail of the received data and the speed of shooting when using a manual laser scanner, and about some difficulties associated with the desired presence of a powerful computer, a large array of data, an increase in the volume of camera work in comparison with the data obtained under the time of application of the GNSS receiver and the RTK method for determining the volumes of embankments

In conclusion, the duration of column work with the conventional formwork method has the longest duration of work, followed by the semi system method and the full system method.

Technical and Economic Efficiency of Using Multifunctional Containers in Primary Seed Production of Grain Crops

Introduction. A very common technology of pedigree seed production is associated with manual in-process transshipment of many sacks that over time results in damaged sacks and in worsening of grain storage conditions. In this regard, there is a need to design a multifunctional rigid container, which will provide cost-effective storage of seed grain through the airtightness and control of the indoor environment. Aim of the Study. The study is aimed at designing a multifunctional container for primary seed production of grain crops with justification according to the criteria of technical and economic efficiency in comparison with pallet spaces and sacks. Materials and Methods. The state standard for economic evaluation of agricultural machinery was applied to assess the impact of reducing in-process transshipment of many sacks and seed losses in primary seed production of grain crops. Wheat seeds were used as the seed-producing crop under study. As service equipment there were used Wintersteiger Delta plot combine with a cutterbar working width of 2 m, seed bagging system or grain hopper 1.5 m3, Belarus 622 tractor with 1PTS-2 semi-trailer, TOR CD1 10916 electric telpher, and convective grain drying units on the basis of SL-0.3x 2 tray dryer for grain. Results. The authors of the article have estimated the technical and economic efficiency of using sacks and multifunctional containers in technological operations of harvesting, transporting and drying grain. With the annual notional volume of work in 400.7 tons, the saving of total money costs for a plot seed combine-harvester averages 117.9 thousand rubles. The reduction in the cost of work performance is 32.8%, payback period is 2 years; the decrease in the need for service personnel and harvesters is not revealed. At the same time, the reduction in the need for energy sources is 32.3%. Discussion and Conclusion. It has been determined that during technological operations of harvesting, transporting and drying, the best seed production performance is when using the multifunctional container with the following indicators of specific cargo turnover, p: Ui = 800 t/km2; Lг = 0.15 km; b = 0.01 km; Lп‒т = 0.5 km, initial humidity of seeds is 21%. In the process of using this container, the production cost, need for service personnel, energy sources and machinery are reduced.

Positioning possibilities for human geographies of the sea: Automatic Identification Systems and its role in spatialising understandings of shipping

AbstractThis paper positions possibilities for human geographies of the sea. The growing volume of work under this banner has been largely qualitative in its approach, reflecting, in turn, the questions posed by oceanic scholars. These questions necessitate corresponding methods. Whilst this is not necessarily a problem, and the current corpus of work has offered many significant contributions, in making sense of the human dimensions of maritime worlds, other questions—and methods—may generate knowledge that is useful within this remit of work. This paper considers the place of quantitative approaches in posing lines of enquiry about shipping, one of the prominent areas of concern under the banner of ‘human geographies of the seas’. There is longstanding work in transport geographies concerned with shipping, logistics, freight movement and global connections, which embraces quantitative methods which could be bridged to ask fresh questions about oceanic spatial phenomena past and present. This paper reviews the state of the art of human geographies of the sea and transport geographies and navigates how the former field may be stimulated by some of the interests of the latter and a broader range of questions about society‐sea‐space relations. The paper focuses on Automatic Identification Systems (or AIS) as a potentially useful tool for connecting debates, and deepening spatial understandings of the seas and shipping beyond current scholarship. To advance the argument the example of shipping layups is used to illustrate or rather, position, the point.

Implementation of Discipline Development for the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) as an Effort to Prevent Corruption

Article 12 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2014 concerning the State Civil Apparatus stipulates that employees in their duties must be clean from corruption, collusion, and nepotism. The implementation of discipline development for the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) as an effort to prevent corruption crimes in the Agam Regency Regional Government is by disseminating to CPNS and ASN regarding anti-corruption behavior. Obligation to submit asset reports reported annually. Strengthening the internal integrity system of government agencies through various regional policies. The policy includes gratification control, conflict of interest handling, community complaint management through the Public Service Complaint Management System-People's Aspiration and Complaint Service (SP4N-LAPOR) channel which has been integrated with central and local government agencies. Control of corruption at the service unit level through the construction of Integrity Zones (ZI). Cooperation with the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of West Sumatra Province conducts surveys regularly. The routine survey is aimed at determining public perceptions as service recipients regarding service quality and anti-corruption perceptions. Obstacles in the implementation of discipline development for the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) as an effort to prevent corruption crimes in the Agam Regency Regional Government include weak supervision and lack of guidance caused by the high volume of work and activities. The attitude of superiors who are too protective of their subordinates even though their subordinates commit deviations. Inadequate employee welfare factors. ASN is one of the things that must be considered by the Government. It is undeniable that they work to provide for the family. If they feel that their needs cannot be met optimally then they will try to get other jobs (side jobs) to meet their needs.

Perencanaan Ulang Rumah Susun Tenaga Pendidik Universitas Gadjah Mada dengan Konsep Building Information Modeling (BIM) 5D

The innovative development in construction technology has introduced a system called Building Information Modeling (BIM), which can facilitate processes from pre-construction to post-construction. Therefore, this research focuses on the redesign of the University of Gadjah Mada's Faculty Housing Tower using the integrated BIM concept, based on structural analysis with ETABS and modeling with Tekla Structures. The redesign is carried out according to SNI 2847-2019 for concrete building structures, SNI 1727-2020 for loading requirements, and SNI 1726-2019 for seismic resilience standards. This redesign produces a structural analysis to assess the structural feasibility of the building. The 3D design modeling is performed using Tekla software, which can generate 2D designs for Detail Engineering Design, as well as provide the necessary volume of work for cost estimation (RAB calculation). Additionally, the software allows for scheduling and work simulation. The redesign of the University of Gadjah Mada's Faculty Housing Tower results in a budget plan of IDR 24,274,962,257.00, calculated using Quantity Take Off from the Tekla Structures software. The scheduling and work implementation simulation for the structural components are also done using Tekla Structures software. The duration of this redesign project is estimated to be 4 months and 2 weeks, starting from the preparation phase to the completion of the roof structure

Analysis of public health infrastructure and medical prevention in the Russian Federation in the period 2013–2022

The main strategic element of the system being formed, designed to solve preventive tasks at the regional and mu­nicipal level, has become Center for Public Health and Medical Prevention (COSiMP). The article provides an analysis of the activities of the COSiMP for the period 2013–2022 in the Russian Federation and offers recommendations for its improvement. Materials and methods. The analysis includes the structure of the COSiMP; material and technical equipment; dynamics of personnel training in the context of individual categories, sociological research, number and staffing, funds received for preventive work with the population, circulation of publications published by the COSiMP; mass work and advisory and recreational activities of the Center. The data on the activities of the COSiMP were an­alyzed according to the reporting form No. 70 for the period 2013–2022. The specifics of the COSiMP activity were assessed by calculating the median value of the indicator for the corresponding year, as well as the percentage of changes in this indicator against another period. Results. The total number of structural divisions in the COSiMP has changed slightly: from 560 in 2013 to 547 in 2022. After the reform of the medical prevention system carried out by the Ministry of Health of Russia in 2020, public health and medical prevention centers with a fundamentally different structure were formed in the regions. During the period 2013–2022, a slight increase in full-time positions in the CSIMP was revealed from 3720 to 3771, respectively. From 2013 to 2022, the number of trained students increased by 31.7%, but the number of trained physicians decreased by 45.3%. Conclusion. During the studied period, the COSiMP underwent serious changes. The growth in the number of programs and projects implemented by the Cen­ters, the impressive volume of mass work carried out shows the demand for these medical organizations. However, the statistical form used to collect the necessary information about the activities of the COSiMP has been de-actual­ized to date and does not comply with the main provisions of the acts regulating the activities of these organizations.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) y su obra geológica y paleontológica

After the death of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin in April 1955, his philosophical and theological essays were published, translated and disseminated throughout the world, constituting one of the most outstanding publishing phenomena of the 20th century. Teilhard focused on cosmic evolution over time. Based on the data provided by Earth and Life Sciences, he attempted a synthesis between science, philosophy, theology and mysticism. When the compilation of his geological and paleontological works was published in eleven volumes in Switzerland in 1971, the Teilhardian wave had already passed. For this reason, the dissemination of the volumes of scientific work was very limited. The objective of this work is to recover the least known aspects of Teilhard’s research, those related to geology and palaeontology.

“The Golovlevs” by M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin in A. A. Ukhtomsky’s Critical Works

The previously unpublished notes by A. A. Ukhtomsky in the margins of the first volume of the Complete Works of M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin (1905–1906) are proposed to be interpreted as critical presentation material for the novel “The Golovlevs” and as a road map to expand the intertextual boundaries of this work. The marginalia by A. A. Ukhtomsky open up the prospect of reading the text of M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin in the context of literary and patristic traditions. First and foremost, the former is identified by the scientist with Gogol’s tradition. A. A. Ukhtomsky calls the parallel “Plyushkin — Golovlev” one of its manifestations, which is explained through the prism of the “things/persons” antinomy. The features of the second are revealed by an Orthodox thinker when comparing the novel by M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin with the precepts of the ven. Isaac the Syrian: the marks record the echo of those most important semantic nuances in the final scene that the St. Father highlighted when comprehending the “Last Judgment” and “Repentance” categories. The study of the corpus of readers’ marginalia by A. A. Ukhtomsky to the novel “The Golovlevs” contributes, first of all, to clarifying the characterology of Judushka-Porfiry in general and the causes of his pre-death suffering in particular; and secondly, to recreating the features of the spiritual portrait of the author, explicated in the work.

The role(s) of community health workers in primary health care reform in Kerala, before and during the COVID 19 pandemic: a qualitative study.

Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) are Community Health Workers (CHWs) employed by the National Health Mission of the Government of India to link the population to health facilities and improve maternal and child health outcomes in the country. The government of Kerala launched primary health reform measures in 2016 whereby Primary Health Centres (PHCs) were upgraded to Family Health Centres (FHCs). The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 impacted essential health service delivery, including primary care services. The CHWs network of Kerala played a crucial role in implementing the primary care reforms and COVID-19 management efforts that followed. We carried out a study to understand the perspectives of the CHWs in Kerala about their role in the recent primary healthcare reforms and during the COVID-19 pandemic management efforts. We conducted in-depth interviews (IDI) with 16 ASHAs from 8 primary care facilities in Kerala from July to October 2021. We further conducted Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) (N = 34) with population subgroups in these eight facility catchment areas and asked their opinion about the ASHAs working in their community. We obtained written informed consent from all the participants, and interview transcripts were thematically analysed by a team of four researchers using ATLAS.ti 9 software. Our study participants were women aged about 45 years with over 10 years of work experience as CHWs. Their job responsibilities as a frontline health worker helped them build trust in the community and local self-governments. CHWs were assigned roles of outpatient crowd management, and registration duties in FHCs. The COVID-19 pandemic increased their job roles manifold. Community members positively mentioned the home visits, delivery of medicines, and emotional support offered by the CHWs during the pandemic. The CHWs noted that the honorarium of INR 6,000 (US$73) was inconsistent and very low for the volume of work done. The CHWs in Kerala play a crucial role in primary care reforms and COVID-19 management. Despite their strong work ethic and close relationship with local self-governments, low and irregular wages remain the biggest challenge.

ANALYSIS OF WASTE MATERIAL COEFFICIENT FOR CONCRETE CASTING WORK USING BIM CUBICOST TAS

One of the construction project activities that has a large volume of work on the upper structure is casting work. In concrete requirement planning, contractors usually multiply the book by 10%. However, in practice, the concrete requirement is still less than planned. Therefore, concrete requirement planning must be calculated accurately. The volume of concrete needs to be multiplied by the waste material coefficient. This research was conducted on the XYZ Project by directly observing to obtain the volume of realized concrete purchased so that the value of the material coefficient that has taken into account waste material will be obtained. BIM Cubicost TAS is used to minimize planning volume calculation errors. The results of this study show that for horizontal casting work, the largest percentage of residual material is 3.133%, and the average percentage of residual material for horizontal casting is 2.192%. Meanwhile, for vertical casting work, the largest percentage of remaining material is 7.219% and the average percentage of remaining vertical casting material is 3.015%. Finally, the waste material coefficient is obtained as 1.022 for horizontal casting and 1.03 for vertical casting. In the AHSP Ministerial Regulation No. 1 of 2022, the coefficient value of materials for casting work using ready-mix concrete is 1.02. This reveals that the coefficient value in AHSP Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Regulation No. 1 of 2022 has not fully calculated the real waste material in the field. The analyzed coefficient values in this study can be used as a reference for the project to determine coefficients in the AHSP and aid in planning concrete volume requirements because it already takes into account the real waste material in the field.

ON IMPROVING THE ACCURACY OF CARTOMETRIC AND MORPHOMETRIC COMPUTING METHODS IN THE GEOINFORMATION ENVIRONMENT

Determination of hydrographic characteristics on large-scale maps with maximum accuracy requires sufficient time and volume of cartometric work. The current level of geographic information systems (GIS) and computer technologies allows to reduce the volume of cartometric operations. The implementation of calculations of the morphometric characteristics of watercourses, reservoirs, and watersheds in the GIS environment ensures the determination of these properties regardless of the scale of maps, map projection, or distance from the axial meridian of a particular projection zone. This article demonstrates the use of analytical and numerical methods for cartometric and morphometric calculations on the reference ellipsoid. The researched calculation methods determine the geodetic areas of geospatial objects with root mean square errors from 0,030 to 0,809 m2.

Professionalisation and governance in Swiss sports clubs – Establishing a club office

Introduction Sports clubs in Switzerland face increasing expectations and challenges from internal and external stakeholders. Therefore, more and more sports clubs professionalise their structures and processes, e.g., by establishing a club office with (part-time) employees. Since there is little knowledge in the sports management literature about the causes, forms and consequences of establishing a club office, this study answers the following research questions based on the multi-level framework from Nagel et al. (2015): Why and how do Swiss sports clubs establish a club office? What are the consequences of establishing a club office? Methods We selected five Swiss sports clubs in the context of a multiple case study design (Yin, 2014). Case selection aimed to include sports clubs of varying sizes, sports and professionalisation types. Data were collected through document analysis, expert interviews with decision-makers and focus groups with club members. Data were analysed using causation coding (Miles et al., 2014). Results Findings show different causes for establishing a club office. The main reason was to relieve volunteer board members. The various causes imply different roles and responsibilities of the established club office. While in some sports clubs, the club office is primarily responsible for administrative tasks, in others, it is also responsible for sponsorship. This circumstance explains why some sports clubs did not have to increase their membership fees to finance the club office because they could increase their sponsorship revenue. Although the club office staff is paid in all sports clubs, the volume of work varies. However, the paid staff often works more than agreed (“volunteer professionals”). Regarding the consequences, all sports clubs that established a club office are satisfied with their decision. Positive consequences are that a “place to go” was created for internal and external stakeholders, and many club processes are more efficient now. However, establishing a club office with (part-time) employees raises the question of strategic and operational responsibilities and decision-making power. Discussion/Conclusion The findings offer several implications for sports clubs that want to establish a club office. At the same time, the study provides further research perspectives. First, it might be insightful to analyse if there are any relevant differences in whether a sports club transforms its secretariat into a club office or establishes a club office for the first time. Second, there are further changes regarding the organisational structures and processes that are worth looking at when analysing the establishment of a club office, such as creating an executive/management board or employing a (paid) CEO. To conclude, it might be interesting to analyse sports clubs that have established a club office but shut it down after a while.
