The article presents an analysis of the results obtained during the three-point bending test for seven variants of epoxy rubber-glass composites manufactured according to innovative technology. Different contents of rubber recyclate (3, 5, and 7%) and different methods of distribution of the recyclate in the composite structure (1, 2, and 3 layers with a constant share of 5% of the recyclate) were used in the tested materials. To determine the stress values at which critical failures of the tested materials are initiated in the bending test, an analysis was carried out using the Kolmogorov-Sinai () metric entropy calculations.

Pharmacists working within Alberta Health Services were mandated by the employer to attain APA by 2018, whereas laboratory ordering has been in place since 2009. Five acute care sites within the Calgary Zone had a computerized provider order entry (CPOE) system that allowed tracking of these activities.

- Scientists did a big survey with over 59,000 people from 63 countries to understand how people think about climate change!
- They tested different ways to encourage people to believe in climate change and support actions to help the environment!
- The study includes lots of information and data that can help others learn more about what influences people's actions on climate change around the world!
Article Synopsis
- Effective global behavior change is crucial for reducing climate change, but it's unclear which strategies motivate people to shift their beliefs and actions.
- A study tested 11 interventions on nearly 60,000 participants across 63 countries, finding small effectiveness primarily among non-skeptics and varied results across different outcomes.
- Key results showed that reducing psychological distance strengthened beliefs, writing a letter to a future generation increased policy support, and inducing negative emotions encouraged information sharing, but no strategy successfully boosted tree-planting efforts.
This paper presents the results of investigations of the mechanical properties of epoxy-glass composites with the addition of rubber recyclate. For the purposes of the study, seven variants of materials were designed and manufactured, which differed in terms of the percentage of recyclate content (3, 5 and 7%) and the way the recyclate was distributed in the composite (one, two and three layers with a constant share of 5%). Tests of comparative mechanical properties were carried out using a static tensile test.
