Abstract: : An ecological approach to understanding health saving in inclusive educational relationships means that the goal of the teacher and students is to build such relationships and implement such processes and forms of interaction in which “everyone and every one” of the participants wins, a consensus is reached as the point at which they find their best satisfaction. This requires a clear understanding of what is and what is not education and society, what is and what is not a person and society, what is and what is not development and harmony, and what is and what is not transparency and health. The purpose of the study is to analyze the ecological approach to understanding health saving in inclusive educational relations. The research method is a theoretical analysis of the ecological approach to understanding health saving in inclusive educational relations. Inclusive health-saving education is discussed as a part of the ecological model of modern educational relations. Inclusive health-saving education is a part of the ecological model of modern educational relations. Within the framework of exclusive school education, ignoring the tasks of health protection and development, there is a high chance of negative impact, mathetogenesis, and pediogenesis, it is difficult for an individual to become a student, to realize the existence of different strategies, forms, and types of learning activity and learning relationships. Thanks to inclusion, people can experience themselves and the world as different, in different situations. Inclusion allows minimizing (prevention), overcoming (correction and development, or rethinking many problems of an individual or group).

Abstract: : This article discusses the problem of improving the quality of students' knowledge by improving their cognitive processes in the educational environment. The purpose and content of the modern educational paradigm are to focus on the free and comprehensive development of future generations, self-education, competitiveness, successful life as a business person, the education of students, their quality of education, and the education of a responsible, humane citizen. Much research is being carried out in this direction. However, the problems of improving students' cognitive processes and improving their knowledge quality require particular study. There are contradictions between the definition of pedagogical conditions for the development of cognitive processes of students and the need to determine their effective ways. The authors found that the concept of cognitive has different meanings. Improving students' cognitive processes at an early age can significantly improve the quality of knowledge. Various research methods were used, including a theoretical analysis of literature, an express questionnaire, and a question-and-answer questionnaire "designed to improve the cognitive processes of students." The studied questions in this article will be helpful for those who are engaged in the education and upbringing of students, including parents and teachers, as well as psychologists and sociologists.

Title: Complex Ni and Co Extraction from Leached Nontronitized Serpentinite via Hydrometallurgical Process at Atmospheric Pressure

Authors: Smailov K.M., Nuruly Y. Download the article in PDF

Abstract: The growing significance of mineral processing processes in the contemporary mining and processing industry lies in their aim to augment the concentration of valuable constituents within processed natural raw materials. Predominantly, these processes encompass pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and electrometallurgy. Each method can extract nickel; however, the high energy demand of pyrometallurgy necessitates a shift toward refining the efficiency of hydrometallurgical procedures. Consequently, optimizing nickel-containing ore processing technologies to yield high-purity nickel and its compounds is a current research concern. This paper investigates the hydrometallurgical processing of nickel and cobalt via leaching, specifically targeting oxidized nickel-cobalt ore. Analytical studies reveal a promising potential for complex extraction of nickel and cobalt, achieving impressive yields of 98.4% and 90.7%, respectively. Our analysis further demonstrates that implementation of this method can notably elevate the extraction degree of targeted metals. Significant energy resource conservation is made possible by conducting extraction at a moderate temperature of 353K and at atmospheric pressure. Importantly, this approach facilitates the extraction of valuable components even from ores containing negligible concentrations. This scientific endeavor enhances our understanding of efficient, sustainable practices in the field of mineral processing, demonstrating the potential of hydrometallurgical methods for nickel and cobalt extraction.

Abstract: The Scholastic Assessment Test is a test used to measure cognitive abilities. The Scholastic Assessment Test predicts prospective students who are able to complete their studies in college well and on time. This study aims to (1) describe the cognitive abilities of high school students through the scores of the Scholastic Assessment Test on Computer-Based Written Examination in 2021; (2) find out the subtest that has the most influence on the Scholastic Assessment Test score. This study uses secondary data, namely the mean score of the SMA/MA Scholastic Assessment Test in the province of Yogyakarta Special Area which is included in the Top 1000 results of the 2021 Computer-Based Written Examination. In the Province of Yogyakarta Special Area, there are 83 schools that fall into the Top 1000 category with details: 28 Senior High Schools in Yogya City, 23 schools in Sleman Regency, 18 schools in Bantul Regency, 7 schools in Gunung Kidul Regency, and 7 schools in Kulon Progo Regency. The data analysis methods used in this study were descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The results of data analysis show that the highest average of students’ cognitive ability in the low group is reading comprehension and writing ability, in the medium group the highest average is reasoning ability, and in the high group, the highest average is quantitative ability. Based on the results of the regression analysis, it can be seen that the reasoning ability subtest has the greatest contribution to the Scholastic Assessment Test scores of high school students in the Special Area of Yogyakarta.

Title: Stress-strain state of rock mass around pillars and chambers considering the angle of occurrence of the ore body

Authors: Tutanov S.K., Tutanova M.S. Download the article in PDF

Abstract: The task of the study is to determine the parameters of the unstable-deformed state of the rock mass around the targets and the chamber at various angles of occurrence of the ore body. A vertical section of a rock mass is considered. The deformation along the chamber can be neglected and the task is reduced to flat. The number of methodical finite elements is taken as the solution method. To solve the problem, the characteristic conditions of cleaning chambers and tar-gets are modeled. The geometric parameters of the design scheme succeeded with the maximum approximation to real conditions. The characteristic of a solid body and host rocks is given by the modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio, and volumetric weight.

Keywords: Rock mass, cleaning chambers, host rocks, tensile stresses, multidimensional mathematical models.
