The melissopalynological and physicochemical analysis of the honey samples were done by this research. According to the melissopalynological analysis 40 taxa belong to the 22 plant families were identified as botanical sources of the investigated honey samples. Nine of the investigated samples (sample no 1-9) were evaluated as monofloral and the others as multifloral honeys. As a result of melissopalynological analysis, while pollen belong to the Castanea sativa taxon were found in dominant ratios in some of the investigated samples, the pollen belongs to the Castanea sativa, Trifolium repens, Lotus corniculatus, Coronilla orientalis taxa were found as secondary in some other honey samples. Total pollen number in 10 gram honey (TPN 10) values of the samples were found between 7 732 and 167 147 by melissopalynological analysis. The first step of the physicochemical analsyis was the moisture analysis and the values found between 15,8% and 18,8% (mean value:7,01±0,98 %). The fructose/glucose analysis were done by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and the values for fructose found as: 26,43-35,57g/100g (mean: 31,39±2,41 g/100g), glucose values as; 20,11-30,58 g/100g (mean: 26,83±2,16 g/100g). Also fructose/glucose ratio was found as 1,03-1,34 (mean: 1,17±0,10). Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and total phenolic acids analysis were done also by HPLC. The results for HMF analysis is between 0,7- 11,31 ppm (mean: 3,8±2,6 ppm ), for total phenolic acids the value are found between 88,92±0,04 mgGAE/kg - 196,17±0,10 mgGAE/kg (mean: 121,98±0,1 mgGAE/kg). As a step of chemical analysis; the volatile compounds of the honey samples were determined by Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The compounds belong to the aldehydes, aliphatic acids and esters, alcohols, hydrocarbons, carboxylic acids and their esters, ketones, terpenes, fatty acids and their esters groups were found as a result of GC-MS analysis. The compounds belong to the carboxylic acids and their esters, fatty acids and their esters identified in higher ratios compare to the other compounds.

Ferec Baʿde’ş-Şidde is the common name for a collection of anonymous folk tales in the style of the "Bin Bir Gece Masalları" in ancient Arabic literature. Its meaning is expressed as "attaining happiness after suffering". In the course of the history of the Turkish language, starting from the 13th century until the 16th century and within the time period called "Old Anatolian Turkish" or "Old Turkish Turkish", Ferec Baʿde’ş-Şidde is one of the most widely read works translated from Arabic literature into Turkish literature and widely read among the people. The translation of Ferec Baʿde’ş-Şidde, an anonymous story of Arabic literature into Turkish, appears in three different versions. The first of these is the translation from Persian by Kasım b. Mehmed, which consists of 42 stories. This translation is characterized in the literature as Ferec Baʿde’ş-Şidde translated from Arabic into Persian and from Persian into Turkish and is called the "Persian version". It is known that there are many manuscripts of this version in domestic and foreign libraries. The second version is the translation of the 14 chapters of Tenuhi or Ebi'd-Dünya by Lutfullah b. Hasan et-Tokadî (Molla Lutfî). There is no publication on this translation to date. The third version is the translation of 13 chapters by Mehmed b. Ömer El-Halebî, which we have given the full text of in this book, translated directly from Arabic into Turkish. This third version of Ferec Baʿde’ş-Şidde is the manuscript registered in the Macar Bilimler Akademisi Şarkıyat Kütüphanesi under the title "TÖRÖK, Qu 5". Another known copy of this manuscript is in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris (no. 383-384). The manuscript of Ferec Baʿde’ş-Şidde, which we are preparing for publication, bears the date of its composition as Şevval (Shawwal) 842/1438 and is the oldest manuscript among its counterparts.

Published: June 2023

This study ascertained the influence of farmers’ perceptions of climate change effects and their household characteristics on the choice of adaptation technologies they adopt. The survey relied mainly on institutional and primary data for its analysis. Primary data was obtained from arable crop farmers using a set of structured questionnaires administered in a multi-stage, stratified random sampling manner. Sixty (60) farmers were selected from randomly selected states for the five agroclimatic zones in Nigeria, giving a total sample size of 300 farmers. The collected data was analysed using Heckman’s probit selectivity model. It was found that extension contact, gender of the head of household, temperature and rainfall levels determined the decision to adapt to climate change. The respective Z estimates of these aspects were 5.75 (p < 0.01), 5.30 (p < 0.01), 2.32 (p < 0.01) and -9.50 (p < 0.01). However, the farmers’ perceptions of climate change effects were determined by education and agricultural extension access. The Z values for these were 5.42 (p < 0.01) and 2.86 (p < 0.01) respectively. The researcher recommends urgent measures to help farmers adapt to climate change, such as the establishment of weather stations and building the capacities of farmers, especially women.

This study investigated the effects of egg yolk and coconut milk-based extenders on the motility and morphology of chilled and post thawed turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) semen in Maiduguri, Nigeria. A total of 112 semen samples were collected from seven matured turkey toms, twice weekly for 2 months using the dorso-abdominal massage method. Freshly collected semen were pooled, divided into three aliquots and diluted with modified Ringer’s buffer, egg yolk and coconut milk-based extenders, respectively. An aliquot of each extended semen was stored at 37°C and 5°C, and then evaluated hourly for 24 hours. Extended semen samples were also cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen and post thaw qualities were assessed after 24 hours. The progressive motility of spermatozoa was maintained for 6 hours at 37°C and up to 12 hours at 5°C when preserved in coconut milk and egg yolk-based extenders. It was also found that use of 1% coconut milk or 1% egg yolk-based extenders improved the post thaw quality of turkey semen once frozen at -196°C. It was observed that the coconut milk-based extender preserved the spermatozoa motility and reduced sperm abnormalities better than the egg yolk-based extender.

WhatsApp is India’s most popular social media application and has emerged as a valuable tool for health and risk communication during the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). Public health institutions,WHO and Government agencies used WhatsApp Health Alert to distribute verified, accurate and timely information during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examines the potential of WhatsApp as a primary source of health and risk information and its impact on users’ risk knowledge and risk perception during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a cross-sectional online survey among 453WhatsApp users in Tamil Nadu during the COVID-19 lockdown in May-August 2021. Most of the respondents used WhatsApp as the primary source of COVID-19 information than other media. COVID-19 information in WhatsApp had a positive and significant impact on users’ risk knowledge and risk perception. Regularly receiving and sharing COVID-19 information, subscribing to and participating in COVID-19-related group chats, and regularly updating WhatsApp statuses about COVID-19 were significant influencers of risk knowledge and risk perception. Future PHE response communication must build on these communication opportunities in WhatsApp rather than routed primarily to traditional methods.

The controversy surrounding the recognition and embrace of the LGBTQIA+ community is not unique to India. Despite the legalization of homosexuality in 2018, discrimination and marginalization against LGBTQIA+ individuals still persist in Indian society, especially within religious circles. Therefore, this research aims to examine the representation pertaining to the LGBTQIA+ people in Hindu, Islamic, and Christian religious texts, using comparative analysis methods to identify patterns and differences in the portrayal of LGBTQIA+ individuals in religious literature. Given the social and legal issues faced by the LGBTQIA+ community in India, it is essential to understand the root causes of prejudice and intolerance towards this group. Religious thoughts, expressions of faith and religious observances significantly influence societal perceptions of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Hence, this study involves a qualitative analysis of relevant religious texts, focusing on themes, metaphors, and attitudes towards non-heterosexual and homosexual identities. The research findings will provide insights into the convergence of religion and LGBTQIA+ identities in India, and may suggest ways to promote inclusion and tolerance towards this community.

The technology that was developed during the fourth industrial revolution has contributed to the recent surge of interest that has been seen in the field of medicine. In particular, the importance of personal medical information obtained via knowledgeable self-diagnosis is becoming more apparent. However, the disclosure of such private medical information raises several concerns regarding trustworthiness and security. Accidents involving personally identifiable medical information could happen on the computer, but more frequently than not, they take place during the process of information exchange and data transfer. So, the goal of this research is to improve the trustworthiness of managing such sensitive data by making blockchain technology better. The objective of the project was to create smart healthcare systems by utilising blockchain technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). Moreover, they utilised various measuring instruments to collect data and carry out an individual electrocardiogram assessment. Through an examination of the fused threshold, the observed biosignals were analysed to provide a tailored diagnostic. In this article, we describe the implementation of a monitoring system that analyses individual biometric information by making use of measuring devices. Machine learning has been included in the deployed system, which has resulted in better dependability and security of the system's information.

Authors: Rost-Krammer Michaela
Published: June 2023

Purpose. This case report describes the accidental early detection of a small choroidal melanoma during a routine optometric examination. The following is a report of a rare case of choroidal melanoma, in a 58-year-old male Caucasian. He wanted to have glasses for computer work and complained of occasional flickering, when seeing in the morning after getting up. Material and Methods. The following optometric measure- ment methods were used: confrontation visual field test, ex- traocular muscle function test, cover test, retinoscopy (Heine Beta 200 Retinoscope), refraction, slit lamp examination (slit lamp Zeiss SL 120) with evaluation of the anterior eye, evalua- tion of the posterior eye (Heine Beta 200 Ophthalmoscope) and handheld fundus camera (Zeiss Visuscout 100). Results. On fundus examination of the left eye, a light pigmented retinal lesion with orange pigment and retinal eleva- tion was seen temporally on the upper vascular arch. Due to the suspected diagnosis of choroidal melanoma, immediate contact was made with a local ophthalmology practice. This confirmed the suspicion and the patient was referred to the University Eye Clinic in Munich. Conclusion. Uveal melanoma is the most common intraocular malignancy and arises from melanocytes in the iris, ciliary body or choroid. Early diagnosis and local treatment are crucial, as survival correlates with primary tumor size. Approx- imately 50 percent of patients will develop metastatic disease with survival of 6-12 months after metastatic diagnosis. The University Eye Clinic Munich confirmed the diagnosis of choroidal melanoma. A robotic Cyberknife radiosurgery was performed. Keywords Uveal Melanoma, Choroidal Melanoma, Cyberknife Radio-surgery

Purpose. The aim of this article is to summarise currently approved and future therapy options for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Further, we discuss how more detailed phenotyping of AMD using multimodal imaging will help identifying novel treatment options in the future. Material and Methods. We carried out a non-systematic literature review between October 1, 2022 and October 15, 2022 using the PubMed database search combinations of “age-related macular degeneration” “anti-VEGF”, “therapy”, “gene therapy” and “multimodal imaging”. Results. The study results demonstrate that lifestyle changes are still pivotal in the prevention of AMD. In the intermediate stages, dietary supplements may be considered and, in the future, systemic medications or laser treatments may show benefits. In the neovascular, exudative end-stage, mono- therapy with anti-VEGF is now supplemented with other treatment options. Finally, regarding geographic atrophy, complement inhibition as a new type of therapy is on the verge of being approved. Conclusion. An exact classification of age-related macular degeneration has brought to light many different therapy options. Even more detailed classification of AMD according to its phenotype using multimodal imaging will hopefully better pinpoint new therapeutic options in the future.

The present paper describes an experimental investigation on mechanical properties of poly-lactic-acid (PLA) parts under compressive and flexural loading. The PLA parts are fabricated by fused deposition modelling (FDM) technique. In present work, effect of raster angle, raster width and infill density on strength and modulus of parts under compressive and flexural loading is studied. It is found that infill density affects compressive strength and modulus of parts significantly under compressive loading. Compressive properties increase with increase in infill density. Further, it is found that raster width and infill density significantly influence flexural strength and modulus. Flexural properties increase with increase in infill density, and decrease in decrease in raster width. Further, predictive models are developed for responses, and process parameters are optimized using genetic algorithm to maximize the responses.

Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Muszyński Mateusz
Published: June 2023

Machine accuracy of workpiece is dependent on a number of factors including the machine spindle nose position. Recently, the application of thermal phenomenon especially in electrospindle has been of great interest. Thermal displacement of the spindle nose affects the accuracy of machining and it also depends largely on the amount of power loss in the bearings. This paper presents the angular contact bearing model which takes into account the stiffness of spring stacking. The result show what effect does the stiffness of the spring stacking have on axial force, contact forces and displacements of angular contact bearing. Moreover, omission in the analysis of the stiffness of the spring stacking result in errors in the estimation of the position on the spindle nose due to the deformation of the elastic spring.

This paper presents research results on optimum manufacturing process for prototyping high precision customized products parts and, therefore, products. The results would be applied to reduce research cost for development of new personalized devices used, for example, in prosthetics of missing limbs. These devices need high precision parts and, not the least, affordable costs. In order to obtain the prototype of these devices, several types of manufacturing processes have been analysed. As conclusion of the research results, we can state that the selection of the best manufacturing process type for obtaining high precision customized parts is a big challenge for engineers as they must get the best technique which ensures high precision (on one hand) and affordable costs (materials and equipment’s, on the other hand). When the prototyped parts are components of a special product, as example, an upper limb prosthesis, high attention should be also focused on the reliability of prototyped parts. 3D printing technologies have developed and extremely evolved lately but still there are cases when their performances are limited (especially when small dimensions and tight tolerances are required for parts’ geometry). Also, considering the component costs, an adequate analysis must be done in order to select the optimal variant of the production process. The research results presented in this paper are focused on the analysis of optimal cost for prototyping customized parts of personalized devices used for the upper limb prosthesis.

Starting with January 2013, all ships greater than 400 tons engaged in international voyages must comply with the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), and starting with January 2023 also with the Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI), issued by the International Maritime Organization, (IMO). Knowing that, in general, a ship hull is the result of a compromise between the main dimensions imposed by the size of the locks, navigation route depth, port depth, taxes, transport capacity (deadweight, volume), ship equipment (machinery, deck installations, piping systems), hydrostatic performances and last but not least the hydrodynamic performances, from ship hydrodynamics point of view the available approaches are the optimization of the ship size and hull forms or the design of propellers adapted to the ship's wake. The main purpose is to reduce the ship resistance and increase the efficiency of the propulsion system which ultimately leads to a reduction in the power placed on board the ship. For this, there can be used the so-called flow control devices or Energy Saving Devices (ESD hereafter), as hydrofoils or nozzles, to improve the flow parameters entering the propeller disc in order to increase the efficiency of the propulsion system and decreasing the fuel consumption leading to reducing of the carbon and greenhouse gasses emissions. For ballast loading condition the ESD may intersect the free surface, the flow becoming complicated and combining nonlinear, three-dimensional and turbulent phenomena such as the boundary layer on solid surfaces, the horseshoe vortex system developed around junctions and their effects turbulence, and also wave breaking. Therefore, this paper presents the results of the numerical study on the viscous free surface flow around junctions between a hydrofoil mounted on a plate, more precisely the study of the influence of the angle between hydrofoil and plate. It was observed that from a hydrodynamic point of view the angle between hydrofoil and base plate to be less than 15 degrees in respect to the vertical direction on the hydrofoil so that horseshoe vortex to be reduced in intensity and the value of the hydrofoil drag to be minimal.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and technical considerations of flow diverter (FD) treatment using a Flow Re-direction Endoluminal Device (FRED) for unruptured intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (VADAs).Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 23 patients with unruptured intracranial VADAs who underwent FD treatment using a FRED between June 2017 and August 2021. Symptoms, imaging findings, treatment strategies, and angiographic and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Dissections were categorized according to the dominance of the VA in which they occurred: dominant VA, co-dominant VA, and non-dominant VA.Results: All patients successfully underwent FD treatment with either a FRED (n=11) or FRED Jr. (n=12). Complete occlusion rates were 78.3% at 6-month follow-up magnetic resonance angiography and 91.3% at 12-month. There were no instances of complications, recurrence, or retreatment during a median follow-up of 20 months. Dissections occurred in the dominant VA in 3 cases (13.0%), the co-dominant VA in 13 cases (56.5%), and the non-dominant VA in 7 cases (30.4%). Intimal flap and true lumen stenosis were observed in 39.1% and 30.4% of cases, respectively. Four cases required a bilateral VA approach due to technical difficulties, all in the non-dominant VA.Conclusion: Flow diversion treatment using a FRED for unruptured intracranial VADAs proved feasible and safe, yielding satisfactory occlusion rates. Technical challenges were more likely in lesions involving non-dominant VAs in the acute or subacute stage, mainly due to associated intraluminal lesions compromising the arterial lumen.

Published: June 2023

Artificial neural network, as a nonlinear mapping or adaptive power system made by linking neurons,which can effectively resolve problems such as gradient explosion in stock price prediction processing. Recurrent neural network (RNN) is a common model for processing stock time-series data and is suitable for stock data involving sequential machine learning tasks, but the prediction results are poor when using long time span or nonlinear data for prediction. To address the problems of low prediction accuracy of ordinary neural networks for stock data with poor linearity and the inability of a single LSTM model to show the recommendation level of a target stock, the paper proposes a deep learning factor integrated prediction model based on LSTM-K-Means.On this basis, a stock price prediction method based on long-term and short-term memory network namely LSTM and K-means clustering algorithm is proposed. The method is not only designed to model stock ups and downs at different levels of combinations, but also more intuitively identifies stocks with better ups through returns and volatilities. Through experimental verification, the stock price prediction method based on LSTM with K-Means proposed in this paper is effective.

Published: June 2023

In spite of being a non-life-threatening condition, hair loss (alopecia) severely impacts the quality of life of individuals who experience it. Recent studies indicate that the number of patients suffering from alopecia globally is on the rise. Androgenic alopecia (AGA) affects both genders at all ages. Genetic factors and family history are found to greatly impact the likelihood of experiencing hair loss. Statistics reveal that during the course of their lives, 80% of men experience alopecia, while 40 to 50% of women are likely to face some form of hair shedding. AGA is characterized by frontal-temporal hair shedding in men and hair thinning of the midline part of the scalp for women. A variety of herbal formulations are available on the market to combat AGA, while only two FDA-approved medications exist at the moment: oral finasteride and topical minoxidil. Topical formulations of finasteride are still under clinical trials. Minoxidil and finasteride formulations provide effective AGA treatment for both genders. Recent concerns regarding potential side effects of these two medications have drawn interest in providing new innovative alternative formulations (nutrients, minerals and vitamins) to provide a safer treatment against AGA. This article provides a brief overview of the current and alternative AGA formulations.
