Authors: Voronin Albert , Savchenko Alina
Published: December 2023

Various approaches to solving multicriteria problems are considered, depending on the role of constraints in the problem statement. If the constraints are fixed and specified, then the calculation algorithm includes the preferences of the decision maker, and the corresponding multicriteria problem has a fundamentally compromise solution. If the values of the restrictions can be varied, then it becomes possible to obtain consensus decisions, and the calculation algorithm is free of heuristic elements.
Performance of Stego Images Calibration Using Advanced Denoising Methods
Authors: Progonov Dmytro
Published: December 2023

Reliable detection of messages that are unauthorized embedding into cover files, namely digital images, is topical task today. Design of effective stegdetectors is complicated by limited prior information of used adaptive embedding methods that minimize cover image alteration during data hiding. Modern approaches for improving detection accuracy are based on usage either ensembles of stegdetectors, or advanced neural networks, which characterize by high-computation complexity. This makes them inappropriate for real scenarios where fast re-tuning for detection of unknown embedding methods is needed. The alternative approach for stegdetector’s design is based on modification of image pre-processing (calibration) methods, namely selection of methods for detection and extraction weak alteration of cover image features caused by message hiding. Special interest is taken to advanced methods for image denoising due to theirs high “adaptiveness” to statistical features of processed images that provide local processing of image’s regions instead of global ones. The work is devoted to performance analysis of Total Variation Minimization (TVM) technique usage of calibration of stego images formed by adaptive embedding methods. According to obtained results we may conclude that applying of advanced TVM-based denoising methods does not allow considerably improving stegdetector detection accuracy in comparison with usage of standard SPAM model. On the other hand, applying of component analysis, namely Principal Component Analysis, allows considerably improve Matthews Correlation Coefficient (up to 0.3) for stegdetector in case of processing real images from MIRFlickr dataset. This can be explained by “grouping” of cover image alterations caused by message hiding into single component with the smallest energy (singular value) that makes possible its easy removal.
Counting in Cycles
Authors: Javorszky Karl
Published: December 2023

Counting in terms of cycles allows modeling many processes of Nature. We make use of a slight numerical incongruence within the numbering system to find a translational mechanism which connects sequential ↔ commutative properties of assemblies. The algorithms allow picturing the logical syntax Nature uses when reading the DNA. Ordering a collection on two different properties of its members will impose two differing sequences on the members. The coordinates of a point on a plane of which the axes are the two sorting orders sidestep the logical contradiction arising from the different linear assignments. During a reorder, elements aggregate into cycles. Using an etalon collection of simple logical symbols (which are pairs of natural numbers), which we reorder, we see typical movement patterns along the path of the string of elements that are members of the same cycle. We split the {value, position} descriptions of a natural number and observe the places the unit occupies at specific instances of time among its peers, while being a member of a cycle, under different orders prevailing. Which places elements occupy among their peers, under specific order conditions, is determined by numeric properties of the natural numbers that make up the element. The model presented is therefore tautologic, and can be compared to a hybrid of sudokus with the ultimate form of Rubik‘s cube. It is necessary for the reader to do some self-education on the matter of cycles as a prerequisite to understanding the working principle of the model. The contraption being a new development, it can’t have references in literature. One cannot lose a bet on the idea that sorting and ordering a collection of elementary logical elements will turn up typical patterns and that these archetypes of patterns will be of interest to Theoretical Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Information Theory, and some other fields, too.

Published: December 2023

The basics of the principles of creation and filling of the technopark of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are offered. The business process of UAV registration in the technopark of the situation center robots is described. The use of attributes (tags) to the UAV will increase the efficiency of a suitable device selection with a complete set that meets the task. It is proposed to organize regional situational centers, which will coordinate the work of state systems, urban life support systems, private services on the one hand and UAV on the other as executors. At this time, principles and methods of automatic selection of UAVs are being developed for the prompt solution of the given task. The system should be based on the classification of the UAV during registration and on the basis of the UAV compliance function to the specific task, key features of the UAV, the time required to complete the task, the distance to the task and the policy to involve the UAV in such tasks to select those devices, who can quickly perform tasks. The function of classification of a specific UAV by tasks is offered. The function takes into account the configuration of the UAV. For each task, experts and automation select weights that indicate how large the impact of certain typical modules to perform a particular task, and for each UAV in the database stores information about whether the UAV takes into account a certain characteristic, or there is a corresponding module. To update the approach to professional training today, one of the main tasks is to create interactive mock-up training systems in real physical space. The principles of building a basic laboratory stand, its equipment and the control system of a mobile modular robot, which helps to master the basic functions of a UAV or mobile operation of a ground base, are under development.
The Role of Thinker Consciousness in Measurement Accuracy: An Informational Approach
Authors: Menin Boris
Published: December 2023

This article contends that understanding measurement accuracy requires considering the thinker's consciousness in the process. In contrast to modern statistical methods, which analyze sources of uncertainty related to variables and measurements, this study proposes an approach that also accounts for the thinker's role in storing, transmitting, processing, and utilizing information to formulate the model. By incorporating the finite amount of information in the model, the study proposes a method for estimating the limit of measurement accuracy and provides examples of its application in experimental physics and technological processes.
Design Principles for Software Using Techniques of Biologic Information Processing
Authors: Javorszky Karl
Published: December 2023

We propose to use a technique of counting ‘in stereo’, by using two counting systems concurrently. Research in number theory has brought up a very slight inner discongruence within the numbering system. The proposal is to root the definition of the term ‘information’ in properties of natural numbers, with the refinement that the extent of information is equal to the extent of being otherwise. The property of being otherwise can be numerically defined on a collection of pairs of natural numbers. An etalon collection of pairs (a,b) is used to demonstrate the concept of being otherwise. The property of being otherwise is based on the numeric fact, presented in oeis.org/A242615, according to which there are two upper limits of the number of logical relations existing among members of collections, namely sentences which state the existence of similarity, ‘n?’ contrasted to sentences that describe differences, ‘n!’, among the members of one and the same collection. The values f-1(number of different relations) point back to slightly differing values of n, and this in the form of Δ (f-1(n?), f-1(n!)) {=, <, =, >, =, <, <<} for n {1, 11, 32, 66, 97, 136, 140}. The numeric incongruences appear to play important roles in Physics, Chemistry, Theoretical Biology. Here, in the context of software design, the practical relevance of being able to switch between two methods of describing one and the same state of a set, becomes apparent in the increased efficiency in the transmission of messages. Recognition of forms and patterns in (eg optical) multitudes becomes possible by using the properties of cycles, which are an artefact of periodic changes which sender and receiver subject the collection of tokens to, in a pre-agreed (or, in Nature, a-priori existing) algorithm. The theoretical foundations for the possibility of recognition of Gestalts are presented to be implications of the inner incongruence of the numbering system, as shown by oeis.org/A242615. There exist shortcuts, abbreviated names for patterns. This is equivalent to a condensation of information.

Authors: Bielozorova Yana
Published: December 2023

A method for isolating the parameters of the voice signal characteristic of the speaker by selecting the features of the extremums of the surface of the scalogram of the voice signal, built on the basis of wavelet coefficients. The structural model of the speech signal is described, the sequence of mathematical transformations of the information channel of speech communication is considered and generalized, on the basis of which the approach to selection of features of language structures is offered. An algorithm for selecting the characteristics of speech signal structures has been developed. The selection uses a complex Morlet wavelet, which most effectively describes the structure of the speech signal at the first level of decomposition. By synthesizing the speech signal with the specified characteristics, the rational parameters of the wavelet transform settings for the implementation of the method are selected.

Authors: KELEŞ Fadim Büşra , AK Mehmet , KESİCİ Şahin
Published: December 2023

The schema modes that emerge as a part of the whole can be observed by triggering the non-functional schema and schema patterns. The modes are grouped into four general categories as child modes, parent modes, coping modes, and healthy modes, and also into subgroups within themselves. In this study, dysfunctional parent modes have been tried to be revealed by examining them through the novel, Dear Shameless Death. It is aimed to show the observable coping modes in the study since the modes are registered through coping modes. For this purpose, the document analysis method, which is one of the qualitative research techniques, was used in the study. In the literature, a study in which dysfunctional parent modes were examined in a literary work could not be observed. In the novel about the life of a family, the characters Atiye and Dirmit come to the forefront more. The dysfunctional parent modes that these characters use and their preferred coping modes were revealed in the study. It was found that the modes used are the result of their early life and learning from their family and environment. Based on the novel, Dear Shameless Death, it was observed that literary works can contribute to the literature by using it in different fields such as education, mental health, and sociology.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate Environmental Education (EE) effectiveness in promoting sustainable solid waste management behaviours (SSWMBs) among pupils of the Zambia’s Chipata City using Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model in order to ascertain progress, provide feedback on the level of achievement of promoting SSWMBs among pupils as outlined in the Zambian Biology school syllabus and to suggest areas of improvement to the continued EE implementation in Zambian schools. The study was based on cross-sectional exploratory case study design and it used quantitative approach. Quantitative data was collected using a survey questionnaire from 367 randomly selected Grade 12 school pupils from the 4 purposively selected secondary schools of the Zambia’s Chipata City. The study results revealed low levels of effectiveness of environmental education implementation in promoting SSWMBs among Grade 12 pupils of Chipata City, Zambia as only about a third of pupils were currently regularly participating in SSWMBs and the mean for pupil participation in each SSWMBs was less than 3, the mid- point score on a five point frequency score. The results imply that there were a number of barriers to promoting wide adoption of SSWMBs. To enhance the effectiveness of EE implementation in schools, barriers to wide adoption of SSWMBs need to be overcome while the required drivers such as making waste management infrastructure available in accessible locations and incentivising waste management behaviours needed to be put in place. The study recommends in-service training of teachers for them to be competent in the use of pedagogical approaches that would enhance pupils’ technical know-how, experience, skills and deeper understanding of SSWMBs during EE lessons.

Published: December 2023

Objective Parametrial tissue ligation during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is important in large uteri with large vessels.Methods A retrospective study was performed at Asan Medical Center for comparing TLH performed with a new knotless parametrial tissue ligation method and conventional laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) from March 2019 to August 2021. For TLH, after anterior colpotomy, the parametrial tissue was ligated by anchoring the suture and making a loop in one direction three times using 1-0 V-LocTM 180 (Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA) suture. Subsequently, the cranial part of the loop was cut using an endoscopic device.Results A total of 119 and 178 patients were included in the TLH and LAVH groups, respectively. The maximal diameter of the uterus was larger in the TLH group (106.29±27.16 cm) than in the LAVH group (99.00±18.92 cm, P=0.01). The change in hemoglobin (Hb) level was greater in the LAVH group than in the TLH group (P<0.001). The weight of the removed uterus was greater in the TLH group than in the LAVH group (431.95±394.97 vs. 354.94±209.52 g; P=0.03). However, when the uterine weight was >1,000 g, the operative times and change in Hb levels were similar between the two groups. In both groups, no ureteral complications occurred during or after surgery.Conclusion Knotless parametrial tissue ligation using 1-0 V-LocTM 180 suture in TLH can be safely applied, even in cases with large uteri, without increased risks of ureteral injury or uterine bleeding.

Published: December 2023

Ljungan virus (LV), Picornaviridae ailesinde bulunan Parechovirus genusunda yer alan kemirici kökenli bir virustur. LV'nin, Kuzey Avrupa, Kuzey Amerika ve İtalya'da kemiricilerde saptanmış olması dünyada bu virusun geniş bir dağılımı olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Miyokarditli ve tip 1 diyabetli insanlarda LV antikorları gösterilmiş ve insanlarda intrauterin ölüm, ani bebek ölümü ve fetal santral sinir sistemi malformasyonlarında LV ilişkisi saptanmıştır.

Bu çalışma ile Türkiye'de henüz araştırılmamış olan LV'nin Zonguldak ilindeki yabani kemiricilerdeki varlığı hakkında bilgi sahibi olunması ve varsa bölgeye özgü yeni LV suşunun/suşlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Araştırmada 85 adet Apodemus ve 35 adet Myodes örneklerinden oluşan toplam 120 adet kemiriciye ait beyin dokusu kullanılmıştır. Bu örneklerde, LV genomunda genetik çeşitliliğin yüksek olduğu VP1 bölgesini hedefleyen ters transkriptaz polimeraz zincir tepkimesi (PZT) yöntemi ile LV nükleik asit varlığı araştırılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda örneklerde LV nükleik asit varlığı saptanmamıştır.

Tek bir bölge ve iki kemirici cinsine ait örneklerinin analizleri sonucuna göre, Türkiye çapında LV varlığının bulunmadığını söylemek yeterli bir açıklama olmayacaktır. Virüs için uygun olmayan çevresel koşullar da virusun tespit edilememesinde rol oynamış olabilir. Türkiye’de LV durumunun ortaya koyulabilmesi için farklı bölgelerindeki kemiricilerde, daha büyük bir örneklem ile ve daha fazla sayıda kemirici türü ile daha fazla sayıda araştırma yapılması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu araştırma, Türkiye de Ljungan virüs varlığı ile ilgili yapılmış ilk çalışmadır.

İzolatların izoniazid (INH), rifampisin (RIF), pirazinamid (PZA), streptomisin (STR) ve etambutol (ETH) duyarlılıkları aynı otomatize sistemde çalışıldı. Dokuz yıllık çalışma süresince 415’i Mycobacterium tuberculosis kompleks (MTBC) ve 14’ü tüberküloz dışı mikobakteri (TDM) olmak üzere toplam 429 mikobakteri izolatının ilaç duyarlılık özellikleri incelendi. Çalışılan MTBC suşlarının 329’u (%79.2) tüm ilaçlara duyarlıydı ve yıllara göre bu oran %63 ila %86.4 arasında değişiyordu. Soyutlanan MTBC suşlarında en yüksek direnç 42 (%10.1) izolatla PZA ve 33 (%8) izolatla INH’a karşı iken, en düşük direnç 1 (%0.2) izolat ile EMB’ye karşı idi. Saptanan 14 TDM izolatının tamamı PZA ve INH direnci gösterirken, en düşük direnç 9 (%64.3) izolatla yine EMB’ye karşı oldu. On (%2.4) MTBC izolatı iki, 5 (%1.2) izolat ise üç anti-TB ilaca dirençli bulundu. Bu çalışmada, bölgemizin anti-TB ilaç direncinin ulusal direnç sıklığına göre daha düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. PZA direnç oranı yüksek bulunmakla birlikte, bu ilacın test edilmesinde bilinen teknik sorunlar ve intrinsik dirençli Mycobacterium bovis türünün ayrılmamış olması dikkate alınmalıdır. Gereksiz antimikrobiyal kullanımını, tedavinin erken terk edilmesini ve dirençli fenotiplerin toplumda yayılımını engelleyici önlemlerin güçlendirilmesi TB tedavisinin en önemli bileşeni olan anti-TB ilaç etkinliğinin korunmasına katkı sunacaktır.

Tüberküloz (TB), dünya genelinde enfeksiyon kaynaklı hastalıklar arasında ölümün önde gelen nedenlerinden biri olan bulaşıcı bir hastalıktır. TB’nin epidemiyolojik dağılımına göre, yüksek oranda TB basili ile enfekte hastaların bulunduğu ülkelerin büyük bir bölümü orta ve düşük gelirli ülkelerdir. Bu nedenle çalışmada düşük gelirli ülkelerde ve laboratuvarlarda TB ve çok ilaca dirençli ( TB izolatlarının ilaç duyarlılık testleri için kolayca kullanılabilecek yeni bir besiyeri olan AYC.2.2 agar besiyerinin klinik izolatlarla etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada Mycobacterium tuberculosis ATCC 27294 (H37Rv, tüm ilaçlara duyarlı), ATCC 35822 (izoniazid dirençli), ATCC 35838 (rifampisin dirençli), ATCC 35820 (streptomisin dirençli) ve ATCC 35837 (etambutol dirençli) referans suşlar ve 34 klinik izolat test edilmiştir. Çalışmadaki tüm anti TB ilaçlar ve izolatlar için kullanılan referans yöntem ve AYC.2.2 agar kullanılarak yapılan agar proporsiyon metodu arasında duyarlılık, özgüllük, pozitif prediktif değer (PPD), negatif prediktif değer (NPD) ve uyum hesaplanmıştır. İzoniazid ve rifampisin için tüm değerler %100 bulunmuştur. Etambutol için duyarlılık %100, özgüllük %88.23, PPD %89.47, NPD %100, uyum %94 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Streptomisin için duyarlılık %100, özgüllük %77.77, PPD %80, NPD %100, uyum %88 bulunmuştur. M. tuberculosis ATCC suşları klinik izolatların değerlendirilmesine dahil edilmemiş ve bunlardaki uyum %100 bulunmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, sıvı otomatize sistemlere oranla üreme süresi dezavantaj olmasına rağmen, AYC.2.2. agar duyarlılık sonuçlarının belirlenmesinde otomatik sistemler kadar etkili bir şekilde kullanılabilmiştir. Maliyetinin düşük olması ve hazırlanmasının kolay olması en büyük avantajlarındandır. Ancak, rutin kullanıma geçmeden önce çok merkezli çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

İntegronlar/gen kasetleri, yatay genetik alışverişi kolaylaştırmada önemli yere sahiptirler. Aynı zamanda direnç genlerinin edinilmesine ve yayılmasına yol açarlar. Bu çalışmada K. pneumoniae izolatlarında antibiyotik direnç oranları ve sınıf 1, 2 ve 3 integronların tespiti amaçlanmıştır. Tıbbi Mikrobiyoloji Laboratuvarı’na Nisan 2023-Temmuz 2023 tarihleri arasında gönderilen farklı klinik örneklerden izole edilmiş 100 Klebsiella pneumoniae izolatı değerlendirmeye alındı. Bakterilerin tanımlanması ve antibiyotik duyarlılık testleri, Phoenix™ (Becton Dickinson Diagnostics, ABD) otomatize sistemi ile yapıldı. DNA ekstraksiyonunda kaynatma yöntemi kullanıldı. Sınıf 1, 2 ve 3 integrona özgül polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu yapıldı. İzolatların antibiyotik direnç oranları ve sınıf 1, 2 ve 3 integron pozitifliği değerlendirildi. İzolatların 33’ünde (%33) sınıf 1 integron pozitifliği belirlendi. Bir izolatta sınıf 1 ve sınıf 2 integron pozitifliği birlikte tespit edilirken, sınıf 3 integron pozitifliği saptanmadı. İntegron pozitif izolatlar integron negatif izolatlarla karşılaştırıldığında; trimetoprim/sülfametoksazol (p=0.0001), siprofloksasin (p=0.0001), levofloksasin (p=0.01), seftriakson (p=0.05), sefuroksim (p=0.032) ve gentamisin (p=0.006) direnç oranlarında anlamlı direnç yüksekliği saptanmıştır. Ülkemizde integronlar ve ilgili direnç genlerinin araştırıldığı, klinik izolatlarda görülen çoklu antibiyotik direnç mekanizmalarının, antibiyotik direnci ile integron genlerinin ilişkisinin incelendiği kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Machine learning methods for clustering and classification are widely used in various domains. However, their performance and applicability may depend on the characteristics of the data and the problem. In this paper, we present an empirical comparison of several clustering and classification methods using WEKA, a free software for machine learning. We apply these methods to the data collected from surveys of students from different majors, aiming to detect the signs of Internet addiction (IA), a behavioural disorder caused by excessive Internet use. We use Expectation Maximization, Farthest First and K-Means for clustering, and AdaBoost, Bagging, Random Forest and Vote for classification. We evaluate the methods based on their accuracy, complexity and interpretability. We also describe the models developed by these methods and discuss their implications for identifying the respondents with IA symptoms and risk groups. The results show that these methods can be effectively used for clustering and classifying IA-related data. However, they have different strengths and limitations when choosing the best method for a specific task.
