The importance of geotechnical research in building projects: case study sustainable rural housing

When conceiving the project of a building, we understand that it will be interacting with the ground through a "soil-structure" system, and that it will be the appropriate interaction between the ground and the foundation that will guarantee functionality and stability from the geotechnical perspective as structural of the project. Today we identify buildings that present problems concerning structural stability due to a deficient geotechnical study that entails a negative impact from the point of view of safety, functionality and economics of the project. The professional in charge to determine the geotechnical conditions of a site is the Geotechnical Engineer or Engineer specializing in Soil Mechanics, in fact, it must be a professional with comprehensive training with knowledge in various disciplines such as geotechnics, structures, foundations and construction. The document with which we base ourselves to establish the guidelines to follow from an analysis and design perspective is the geotechnical study. This document also allows us to understand the possible threats to which the project will be at some point and how to carry out the analysis and design of the buildings, so that they can interact in perfect harmony with their surroundings. By means of a case study concerning the project of a sustainable rural house, we show the stages and elements that make up the report of the geotechnical study that was carried out, indicating the development, analysis and methodology of the study, as well as the various elements that comprise it.

Improving the carbonate reservoirs development efficiency on the example of the Tournaisian stage deposits

The article deals with the issue of carbonate strata of complex geological structure development efficiency improving. Such facilities, as a rule, have deteriorated reservoir properties, parameter anisotropy and are complicated by secondary cavernosity. All of these factors affect the recovery efficiency and are often reflected in development indicators. On the example of Tournaisian stage deposits an example of a methodological approach to the development analysis which takes into consideration various geological factors is presented. As a result, various dependencies were obtained, which when taken into account determin the most promising areas in terms of development efficiency. The issues of the waterflooding system efficiency and the ways of its efficiency increasing are considered separately. Keywords: oil fields development; carbonate reservoirs; development efficiency; waterflooding system.

Selection of effective methods of increasing oil recovery in dealed fields based on retrospective analysis

The object of research is methods of increasing oil recovery in «old», depleted oilfields. One of the main tasks of the oil-extracting industry in any country in the world was and still is ensuring the project level of oil production at the maximum possible coefficient of its extraction from the subsoil. In this case it is extremely important to study and use technological methods and means of acquired experience in oilfield development. The paper considers the historical aspects of the development of stabilization and oil recovery methods from 1770s to the present day on the example of Ukrainian oilfields. In parallel with the history of the implementation of methods, their physical and technological content and conditions of application are discussed. Of all the methods used to increase the level of oil production, the most effective ones, which have found application at certain stages of the Ukrainian oilfields’ development, are considered. This is, first of all, a vacuum process, areal flooding, cyclic flooding, gas and water-gas repression, injection of surfactants, surfactant polymer-containing systems, polymer flooding, horizontal branched drilling. The methods development analysis is considered against the background of their geological and industrial acceptability and obtaining technical and economic effects. Based on the results of the study, a group of methods has been identified. These methods are advised to apply in geological and industrial conditions, similar to those described, which should ensure the expected efficiency. Undoubtedly, along with this, it is advisable to use the methods of mathematical modeling of oilfield development processes. Proposals are formulated on the conditions and principles of applying the methods under consideration in order to improve the systems for the development of oilfields. It has been established that the most acceptable methods of increasing oil recovery in depleted oilfields are the injection of surfactant solutions both independently and together with an aqueous solution of polyacrylamide, creation of gas-water repression and polymer flooding, in which preference is given to AN132SH and AN125SH reagents of FLOPAAM S series from SNF FlOERGEL.

Online music education for sustainable development: Analysis of music learning videos in e-Hakseupteo

This study investigates music learning video content at e-Hakseupteo, a government-supported e-learning platform utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic, and provides suggestions for remote music learning in the future. The data from music learning videos in e-Hakseupteo were extracted via each subject to statistically analyze the data in various aspects including provision regions, the content providers, target audiences, video titles, and contents of each music learning video. As a result, this analysis demonstrated that e-Hakseupteo offered students fewer opportunities to learn music than other subjects because of the significant lack of music learning videos. In addition, e-Hakseupteo has provided unequal music educational opportunities and regional discrepancy due to the unintentional access settings. Finally, the music learning videos at e-Hakseupteo were produced by specific agent groups in Seoul with limited experts. Implications and suggestions are provided for the sustainability of remote learning in music education.

Teaching critical thinking in the language learning process

When teaching English, the main focus of teachers is on the development of four language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. While these are important skills for students, it is essential to equip them with 21st century skills - critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication. All of this can be smoothly developed at the English lesson. Critical thinking can be introduced with effective questioning. Students often have difficulty understanding the nuances of the question and are unable to answer correctly. Words: explain, discuss, develop, comment and describe are just some of the guidelines that require answers from different angles. It is necessary to ask both factual and extrapolative and descriptive questions based on the development, analysis, evaluation, creation and development of Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) - remembering, understanding, using and higher Order thinking Skills (HOTS. It must be fair to say that critical thinking is important in several ways. Primarily it helps students to observe an object (fact, person, data) from different angles, like, an artist making sketches of a model from different angles, observing every detail, discovering new items in each new angle. This forces them to step out of their comfort zone and question their preconceived notions about the object (even those misconceptions based on their prior knowledge) and become better informed ones. Critical thinking also affects students' personal skills. By thinking critically and looking at the issue from different angles, students become more open-minded and empathetic, sociable, more collaborative with peers, and they accept and discuss their ideas. If we think of students as individuals, it can be said that critical thinking helps them develop their creative side, allowing their thinking process to run more freely and explore more opportunities. This makes them better decision makers, which will help them save time in making these decisions.
