Published: July 2023

As the definition and role of design changes over time with the times and society, design education needs to update teaching methods to match it. The course design in this study began with an optimisation of the learning model based on previous research and analysis, followed by in-depth interviews, the application of the interview results to the final curriculum design, and finally a questionnaire to verify the positive effects of this teaching model. This teaching model has been applied to teach a pilot class in a university of applied sciences in China. The main characteristics of the course design are Project-Based Learning (PJBL) oriented, team cooperation centric, and an educational model developed based on peer assessment. In every stage of the UI design course, realistic project simulations are adopted, enhancing students' abilities through practical experience, teamwork, and peer assessment. The innovation lies in validating the effectiveness and advantages of this model at every stage of the UI design course, innovating existing teaching methods, optimizing learning models, and combining practice with evaluation. This research found that a project-oriented team course design based on PJBL has a high degree of effectiveness and relevance in each stage of the UI design course, significantly improving students' overall competence. It is expected that the results of this study can be applied in various ways to the course design of the courses that similar to design majors.

İşsizlik oranı, ülke ekonomilerinin durumlarını analiz etmede kullanılan önemli ve kritik göstergelerden birisidir. Histeri ise işsizliğe yönelik şokların kalıcı etkileri olduğunu belirten bir kavramdır. Bunun için geçici şokların işsizlik üzerindeki etkisi İşsizlik Histerisi Hipotezi ile analiz edilmektedir. Literatürde işsizlik histerisinin varlığı sıklıkla araştırılan konular arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın literatürde az rastlanan değişkenleri kullanması ve uygulama metodu açısından literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmada Türkiye’de 1988-2020 yılları arasındaki işsizlik verileri sadece toplam işsizlik için değerlendirilmemiş olup, kadın, erkek ve toplam işsizlik için ayrı ayrı değerlendirilmiştir. Literatürde çok fazla araştırma konusu olamayan bu değişkenler Genişletilmiş Dickey Fuller Testi, Phillips Perron Birim Kök Testi, Zivot Andrews Yapısal Kırılmalı Birim Kök Testi, Lumsdaine Papell Yapısal Kırılmalı Birim Kök Testi ve Lee Strazicich Yapısal Kırılmalı Birim Kök Testi kullanılarak ayrı ayrı analiz edilmiştir. Birden fazla birim kök testi ile yapılan çalışmaların sonucunda birim kök testlerinin çoğunda belirlenen dönem için Türkiye’de kadın, erkek ve toplam işsizlik üzerinde işsizlik histerisi hipotezinin geçerli olduğu görülmektedir.

Hem mal piyasasındaki hem de para piyasındaki aktiviteler Küreselleşme ile birlikte içsel ve dışsal olarak ekonomiyi etkileyebilecek şoklara daha duyarlı bir hale gelmiştir. Belirli dönemlerde yaşanan iktisadi buhranlarla birlikte ortaya çıkan ekonomi politika belirsizlikleri, ani talep artışları veya azalışları neticesinde ortaya çıkan ekonomik durgunluktan çıkmak için Merkez bankalarının uyguladıkları genişleyici para politikaları küresel ölçekte enflasyonu hızlandırmıştır. Dolayısıyla uluslararası emtia, gıda ve enerji fiyatlarında yukarı yönlü enflasyonist etkiler ortaya çıkmıştır. Ortaya çıkan bu durum neticesinde, dünya genelinde birçok ülke merkez bankasının enflasyonla mücadelede önlem oluşturacak politikaları devreye sokmasına neden olurken, küresel ekonomi politika belirsizliği, enerji fiyatları ve para miktarındaki sıkı ilşkinin enflasyonla mücadelede nasıl dengede tutulacağı sorusunu da gündeme getirmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye için Ocak 2006 ve Haziran 2022 dönemleri arasındaki aylık veriler kullanılarak küresel ekonomik politika belirsizliği, para arzı, uluslararası petrol fiyatları ve enflasyon arasındaki zaman ve frekans alanındaki dinamik etkileşimler analiz edilmiştir. Zaman-frekans uzayında analiz yapmamıza yardımcı olan çapraz dalgacık dönüşümü (cross wavelet transform) ve dalgacık tutarlılığı (Wavelet coherence) yöntemleri ile küresel ekonomik politika belirsizliğinin uluslararası ham petrol fiyatlarına yön verdiği görülmüş ve böylece enflasyon üzerindeki momentum gücünün önemli tarih aralıklarındaki duyarlılığı kanıtlanmıştır. Ayrıca para arzının bazı önemli tarih ve olaylar dinamiklerinde enflasyon üzerindeki yönlendirici etkileri de saptanmıştır. Bu bulgular, Türkiye bağlamında politika yapıcılar ve yatırımcılar için önemli çıkarımlar sağlamaktadır.

Authors: KURAM Kadri
Published: July 2023

Türkçede Çekim Öbeğinin (ÇÖ) hangi başlardan oluştuğu ve içinde kaç yansımanın bulunduğu sorusu bugüne kadar üç farklı şekilde yanıtlanmıştır. Bunlardan birincisi Görünüş/Kip/Zaman (GKZ) kategorilerinin birleşik başlar olarak görülebileceğini ve Türkçede bilgisellik kipi, görünüş ve zamanın aynı baş konumunda olduğunu söylerken ikincisi her bir kategorinin birbirinden bağımsız bir baş olarak türetime girdiğini ve bağımsız bir öbek yansıttığını söylemektedir. Üçüncü görüş ise Türkçenin ve bütün dünya dillerinin son derece zengin bir işlevsel yapısının olduğunu ve GKZ kategorilerinin her bir altkategorisinin bir baş konumuna karşılık geldiğini savunmaktadır. Birleşik başlar modeli ve zengin ÇÖ modeli sadece bir GKZ ekinin göründüğü tümcelerde bu ekin aynı anda birden fazla GKZ kategorisini işaretleyebileceği varsayımına dayanırken GKZ’ın üç bağımsız baştan oluştuğunu savunan model bu tümcelerde her bir kategorinin mutlaka bir biçimbirimle temsil edildiğini ve işaretlenmemiş kategorilerin aslında sıfır biçimbirimle işaretlendiğini iddia etmektedir. Bu çalışmada söz konusu modeller özetlenecek ve bir karşılaştırmanın mümkün olup olmadığı sorgulanacaktır.

The problems of improving the safety of various industrial facilities dealing with combustible mixtures are constantly in the center of increased attention. The introduction of chemically active additives into the gas mixture is considered as one of the most effective ways to prevent ignition and explosion. One of the most promising highly effective and, at the same time, environmentally friendly additives is trifluoroiodomethane CF3I. Recently, the effect of CF3I on the ignition of acetylene and methane has been studied; however, combustible gas mixtures encountered in practice are often far from pure gases in composition and contain impurities that can significantly affect the ignition kinetics. In this work, an experimental study of the effect of CF3I on ignition delays behind shock waves of complex combustible mixtures, including mixtures of hydrogen and carbon monoxide (model mixture “synthesis gas”) as well as mixtures of methane with acetylene additives (model mixture “mine gas”) has been carried out. As a result of the experiments, it is shown that in mixtures simulating synthesis gas, CF3I additives lead to a considerable inhibition of ignition, while in “mine gas,” this effect turned out to be insignificant.

Numerical simulation of the interaction of cellular detonation in a hydrogen-air mixture with a system of porous filters located at the walls of the channel was carried out. The main regimes and critical conditions for the attenuation and suppression of detonation in the filter system were obtained. In the first realized regime, at the volume fraction of filter particles less than critical, a detonation wave (DW) decelerates to a velocity less than the Chapman-Jouguet velocity and propagates in a stationary mode; a detonation cell size increases. In the second realized regime, at the volume fraction of filter particles equal or greater than critical, a DW splits into the shock wave (SW) and the lagging combustion front with the destruction of cellular structure. A map of detonation regimes was constructed. It follows from this map that with an increase in the volume fraction of particles in the filters, the gap between the filters can also be increased to successfully suppress the detonation.

Numerical simulation of interaction of heterogeneous detonation with a porous insert was carried out. The mathematical model for porous inserts assumed that the porous zone was a continuous medium in the form of a grid of stationary cylinders. Main regimes and critical conditions of detonation attenuation in porous zones were obtained for micron-sized aluminum particles. Main features of the flow field in the channel were described. It was found that for micron particles in the empty space, a planar detonation wave formed. Main patterns for micron-sized combustible particles and inert porous zone were found. The critical height of the empty space without porous inserts was determined. The critical height of the empty space did not depend on the amount of open areas in the porous zone. The critical height did not depend on the width of the channel. For micron-sized particles, a physical explanation for the existence of planar detonation based on the values of thermal relaxation times is proposed.

Приведены результаты экспериментального исследования поведения детонационной волны в малоразмерной импульсной камере сгорания (L = 664 мм) реактивного типа при горении гетерогенных смесей «гептан-кислород-воздух» бедного (ф < 0,8) и околостехиометрического состава (ф « 1,0). Показано, что при сжигании бедной смеси (ф = 0,79; [02/воздух] = 0,70) детонации не происходит. Возбуждение детонационных волн возможно при формировании стехиометрической смеси с коэффициентом избытка горючего около единицы, несмотря на меньшее содержание кислорода в смеси ([02/воздух] = 0,63). При этом переход горения в детонацию происходит на расстоянии, достаточно близком к источнику воспламенения (250-300 мм).

Исследуется процесс горения пастообразных конденсированных систем (ПКС). Определены закономерности, определяющие скорость горения, характеристики процесса агломерации, свойства поверхностного слоя. Показано, что эти закономерности близки к соответствующим закономерностям для твердыхтоплив на базе активного связующего с линейным полимером. Они заключаются в подавлении образования каркасного слоя (КС) с ростом давления и, как следствие, процесса агломерации. Кроме того, одним из следствий этого явления является рост зависимости скорости горения от давления. Установлены новые закономерности, имеющие место при использовании активного связующего, вследствие особенностей формирования КС. Они заключаются в связи активности связующего и структуры топлива с формированием КС. Определены рецептурные решения, обеспечивающие снижение зависимости скорости горения от давления при практически неизменном энергетическом потенциале. Установлены направления совершенствования данного типа энергетических систем.

Determinants of government bond spreads in European transition economies and implications for small and medium enterprises
Authors: Havolli Berat
Published: July 2023

Given the need for transition economies to finance some of the investment required for development through borrowing, this paper empirically examines the determinants of government bond spreads, focusing on institutional quality as a contextual dimension. The literature generally assumes that market assessments of sovereign risk - i.e., the probability of default - and hence the cost of sovereign borrowing over the risk-free rate are based on the borrower’s macroeconomic fundamentals, solvency, and liquidity indicators related to fiscal and financial variables, and indicators of external financial market volatility. Using fixed effect estimation, our findings suggest that government bond spreads in European transition economies are sensitive to domestic macroeconomic fundamentals and global financial market volatility. From macroeconomic fundamentals, fiscal deficit levels, inflation rates, and countries’ effective exchange rates emerge as the leading indicators determining bond spreads over the observed period. Moreover, our results suggest that financial markets consider the quality of institutions when assessing default probabilities; hence, the potential risks arising from the quality of institutions are factored into the cost of sovereign borrowing. These results are robust to various extensions and robustness tests.
The determinants of individual’s recycling behavior with an investigation into the possibility of expanding the deposit refund system in glass waste management in Croatia
Authors: Šmaguc Tamara , Kuštelega Magdalena , Kuštelega Marija
Published: July 2023

This study investigates the recycling behavior of Croatian citizens and identifies the determinants of individual recycling intention. It also addresses whether the existing deposit refund system for glass bottles in Croatia can be replaced by an expanded system that includes the return and reuse of almost all types of glass containers. A total of 427 Croatian citizens participated in the survey. Quantitative data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling. In addition to the survey, a focus group was conducted with the relevant experts. The results confirmed the assumption about the pro-environmental orientation in Croatia. Citizens have a positive attitude towards the expanded deposit refund system in waste glass disposal and intend to implement it. The most significant predictor of their intention is their attitude towards the expanded deposit refund system, followed by familiarity with recycling. A person’s recycling intention is mainly determined by familiarity with recycling and perceived behavioral control. In the qualitative study, Croatian experts were generally positive about an expanded deposit refund system for glass containers but warned that implementation would not be without certain obstacles. The added value of the study is the creation of new knowledge for the design of local and national policies that can promote individuals’ environmentally friendly behavior and improve the glass waste disposal system in Croatia.

Social capital plays a key role in college students’ academic and career success. Using a random assignment design, the current study evaluated the impacts of a one-credit college course designed to increase student help-seeking and social capital within a racially diverse sample of college students. Compared to the control group, students in the treatment group reported improved attitudes towards help-seeking, increased help-seeking behavior, and higher levels of social capital and mentoring support. Academic benefits were mixed, however, with an increase in academic self-efficacy, no impact on college GPA, and a decrease in academic cognitive engagement. Additionally, differential impacts based on year in college, race, and first-generation college student status were observed. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Published: July 2023

La Fenitoína (DFH), es un anticonvulsivante ampliamente utilizado para el tratamiento de distintos tipos de convulsiones.1El monitoreo terapéutico (TDM) es requerido para la DFH debido a su estrecho rango terapéutico y farmacocinética no lineal, entre otras características. Los monitoreos se realizan frecuentemente en plasma o suero (droga total) a través de métodos inmunológicos. También se puede monitorear DFH en saliva, la cual presenta una buena correlación con el plasma. La concentración de DFH en saliva refleja la concentración de droga libre y debido a la simplicidad en su recolección, conlleva a un proceso menos estresante para el paciente. El objetivo del trabajo fue validar el método inmunológico de interacción cinética de micropartículas en solución (KIMS) para la determinación de DFH usando como matriz biológica saliva. Se analizó linealidad, precisión, límite de detección y cuantificación, exactitud e interferencia. Se utilizó el software Infostat 8.0 versión estudiantil para el análisis estadístico. El método fue lineal en un intervalo entre 0,41 y 5ug/ml. Los límites de detección y cuantificación fueron 0,14 y 0,45ug/ml respectivamente. La ecuación de la recta obtenida en base a la comparación de métodos entre KIMS y HPLC-UV fue DFHKIMS= 0,81* DFHHPLC – 0,03. 

El método KIMS demostró tener las características analíticas necesarias paran ser aplicada como herramienta útil y práctica para el seguimiento de aquellos pacientes de difícil acceso venoso y/o niños con tratamientos crónicos con DFH.

Published: July 2023

  

Over the years, reports of overcrowding, unsanitary circumstances, and inhumane treatment towards detainees have been increasing. In the Philippines, specific reports on poor inmate living conditions and violence are prominent. Moreover, the incarcerated are placed in life-altering circumstances when the prison cells are overcrowded, resulting in varied prison crowding experiences. This phenomenology study aims to understand how the detainees give meaning to their crowding experiences. Ten (10) male and female Filipino young adult (20–35 years old) detainees from the Legazpi City Jail were interviewed, excluding any participants under solitary confinement or isolation due to precautionary health measures. The participants' narratives were examined through within- and cross-case analysis, and four (4) themes: Kulong sa kapungawan (longing and yearning), Kulong sa kapanahunan (sentiments over a period of time), Kulong sa pag-asa (experiences that instill hope), and Kulong sa oportunidad (forced opportunities and routine-based life) were rendered via repertory gridding. These contextualized the prison crowding experiences of Filipino detainees specific to family and community concepts in a Bicolano culture. The findings of this research may contribute to intersectionality studies, especially in clinical, rehabilitation, and community psychology. The findings can also be substantial as a springboard for implementing culture-specific programs for the incarcerated.
Mental health and older adults: A narrative synthesis of the literature
Authors: VILLAFUERTE SALVACION
Published: July 2023

  

The older adult population has been a growing concern in the global context calling for attention to aging processes, supportive measures and health care policies. In the Philippines, the population of older people is accumulating swiftly with a faster growth compared to the total population of the country. Thus, this calls for a closer attention on the overall wellness and the mental health of older adults that are more crucial in comparison to other ages in one’s lifetime. Generating a database search strategy for the last 10 years focused on the mental health of older adults, retrieved articles from APA PsycNet, ProQuest, SAGE, EBSCOHost and PubMed Central electronic databases were synthesized guided by the set inclusion and exclusion criteria and utilizing the PRISMA flowchart of the record selection process. This narrative synthesis rendered the Mental Health Orientations of Older Adults to illustrate an integrated framework to understand mental health and older adults. The findings of this research synthesized a portrait on how older adults give credence to their mental health in various concerns and needs which they directly and indirectly experience. These will be valuable in considering age-specific mental health needs aligned with the three orientations that will support Philippine law provisions on mental health (RA11036 or the Mental Health Act) and on senior citizens (RA9994 or the Expanded Senior Citizen Act) with the continuing aim of providing access for mental health services and integrated strategies for the promotion of mental health.

Authors: Uyen Tran Nguyen Tu , Thao Hoang Thanh , Huong Bui Mai
Published: July 2023

In this study, Marseille soap and Na2CO3 are used for self-dyed silk degumming and evaluated the influence of technological parameters on the degumming efficiency and color intensity of self-dyed silk. Self-dyed silk results from a new dyeing method; this is a green and without-water dye. Its mechanism is based on feeding silkworms with mulberry leaves supplemented by the Rhodamine B dyestuff; colored silk was then treated at different concentrations and time treatment. Xrite color i5 colorimeter, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were respectively used to evaluate the color intensity, the treatment efficiency, and the structural characterization of self-dyed silk. The results show that the higher the solution concentration and treatment time, the higher the weight loss ratio and the lower the color intensity. In addition, degumming with Na2CO3 retains the color of silk better than it with Marseille soap. The results are also for reference in selecting the appropriate treatment process for this new material.

Amorphous plasma sprayed coating
Authors: Vu Duong
Published: July 2023

The plasma spraying method has wide application in many industries, including the automotive industry, due to its diversity and efficiency. The interest in this technology is increasing as it is possible to replace expensive materials with iron-based alloys and use air instead of inert gas to activate plasma. There are a number of works that have emphasized the importance of properly selected spray parameters, but they used the plasma generation gas, which is an expensive inert gas such as argon, heli, or their gas mixture with a different ratio. The objective of this paper is to study the influence of the most specific parameters that affect the quality of the wear-resistant spray layer using Fe-based powder sprayed onto the steel substrate material. The experiment design with the ANOVA analysis helped to find out the nature of the elevation of the wear resistance under the influence of the particle velocity and the related technological parameters in the process. The research results provide an experimental formula that combines the main spray parameters with the evaluation of wear resistance in relation to the traditional material group.

Ngẫm đi ngẫm lại những bài học từ Phần Lan
Authors: Hoang Anh-Duc
Published: July 2023

Câu chuyện về đất nước Phần Lan là một câu chuyện sinh tồn, và câu chuyện về hệ thống giáo dục Phần Lan cũng không phải là ngoại lệ. Năm 2018, trong giờ nghỉ giải lao của một hội thảo giáo dục tại Cambridge, Massachusetts, Hoa Kỳ, tôi có trò tham gia vào một cuộc trò chuyện vui giữa một số học giả đến từ nhiều nước. Một học giả Hoa Kỳ hỏi đồng nghiệp người Phần Lan về tỷ lệ học sinh bỏ học và cách mà hệ thống giáo dục Phần Lan đương đầu với vấn đề này. Câu trả lời từ học giả Phần Lan hơi tếu táo một chút: “À, như ông biết đấy, người Mỹ nghiên cứu rất nhiều nhưng lại ít khi dùng đến chúng, nên chúng tôi sử dụng giúp các kết quả nghiên cứu cho đỡ phí. Có lẽ vì vậy mà tôi cũng chẳng biết rằng học sinh Phần Lan có bỏ học giữa chừng hay không. Rất tiếc là tôi không giúp được gì ông rồi.”

Metabolic vulnerabilities in metastasis to the CNS in breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2023

Since metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3), and since brain metastasis is exceedingly difficult to treat (4), we mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (5, 6, 7) to discover genes associated with central nervous system metastasis in humans with breast cancer. We present evidence here demonstrating that among the most significant changes in the transcriptional behavior of brain metastases in human breast cancer is the up-regulation of at least four separate enzymes involved in metabolic pathways relevant to therapeutic targeting in medical oncology including glucose metabolism and the Krebs cycle.
