Spark Plasma Sintering of Boron Carbide Powder

The results presented in this article demonstrate that boron carbide ceramics of a perfect microstructure, of a high density (up to 99.8%) and microhardness (36.1 GPa) can be made from the industrial micron fraction powder thanks to spark plasma sintering, that opens prospects for wide SPS application in economical production of high-quality boron carbide ceramic products. Optimal ceramics production mode is based on B4C (technical powder), which makes the best combination of physical and mechanical properties and uniformmicrostructure. The experimentally set mode of spark-plasma sintering of highdensity B4C ceramics allows to lower the sintering temperature by 300 ∘C and to shorten the process time by 20 minutes relative to the corresponding values when traditional hot pressing. Keywords: spark - plasma sintering, boron carbide, densit

Geek Culture As a New ‘Image’ of Contemporary Culture

The aim of this article is to present the theoretical grounding of geek culture as a unique contemporary phenomenon, based on structural-functional, evolutionary, and systemic methodology within the overarching culturological approach. We verify the meaning of such concepts as ‘geek’, ‘geek community’, and ‘geek culture’; explore the role and the characteristics of geek culture as a supra-subculture; analyze its global universal features and the specifics of its Russian variant; describe a unique characteristic of geek culture as a self-organizing system; and highlight the dualistic features of geek culture as a ‘marker’ of contemporary social processes.     Keywords: geek, geek culture, geek community, supra-subculture, consumer subculture, mass subculture, youth subculture, counter-culture, mainstrea

Political absenteeism of Russian youth

В современном российском обществе снижается политическая активность молодежи. Крайней формой политической пассивности является абсентеизм – равнодушное отношение людей к политической жизни. В связи с чем одной из важнейших задач российского государства должно стать преодоление абсентеизма молодежи.In modern Russian society political activity of youth decreases. An extreme form of political passivity is the absenteeism – the indifferent relation of people to political life. In this connection overcoming an absenteeism of youth has to become one of the most important problems of the Russian state

The acoustic model of oscillations of gas combustion in coaxial pipes

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. Organization of pulse combustion mode is one of the possible solutions to the problem of energy efficiency installations using hydrocarbon fuel. For grate combustion of solid fuels, in particular, solid industrial wastes are considered to be promising coaxial system, allowing the admission of secondary air to the combustion zone. In this paper we proposed an acoustic model of oscillations of gas when burning solid fuel in the system is coaxially arranged pipes with natural air supply. The description of the motion of the gas in the system during one period of oscillation

Personalized patterns of teachers training in document science course subjects in a vocational pedagogical university

The article is focused on the study of challenging issues which occur when updating methodological-pedagogical support and applying personalized educational paths in the training of future teachers of document science course subjects for intermediate vocational education institutions, as well as according to various other programmes of students training as part of the "Vocational training (by branches)" course. The key method of the given problem research is meant to be analysis and experience summarization of vocational-oriented, academic, teaching and guiding and scientific work with the students of Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University, being taught according to principal educational programme "Document management in an organization" as part of "Vocational training (by branches)" preparation as well as learning methodological approaches for creating personalized educational paths for them. Research results: developed approaches to applying personalized educational paths in the training of students in a vocational pedagogical university; drawn-up recommendations on updating methodological-pedagogical support in the training of future teachers of document science course subjects for intermediate vocational education institutions, undertaken analysis of the possible ways of improving their training. The content of the article may prove helpful for: university faculty and universities chief executives for the improvement of the training quality of future professionals, for more effective educational process organization, for forming personalized educational paths in the training of students; for chief executives of intermediate vocational education institutions where the specialized training "Document support of management and archive science" is provided; for students being trained as part of "Vocational training (by branches)" course. © Authors
