Batı Asya Ülkelerinde Yaşam Kalitesi: IDOCRIW-MARA Metoduyla İncelenen Değişkenler ve Elde Edilen Bulgular
Authors: Şahin Macit Nazife
Published: July 2024

Bu çalışmada, Batı Asya ülkelerinin yaşam kalitesinin IDOCRIW-MARA entegre modeli kullanılarak ölçülmesi ve sıralanması amaçlanmıştır. Numbeo küresel veri tabanında yer alan 2023 yılına ait yaşam kalitesi endeksindeki 8 göstergenin ağırlık değerleri IDOCRIW yöntemiyle hesaplanmış ve satın alma gücü endeksinin en önemli kriter olduğu; kirlilik endeksinin ise en düşük göreceli öneme sahip kriter olduğu analiz sonuçlarından tespit edilmiştir. Ülkelerin yaşam kalite düzeylerinin hesaplanıp sıralanması ise MARA yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilmiş ve analiz sonuçlarına göre Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri, Suudi Arabistan, Umman ve Katar ülkeleri en üst sıralarda yer alırken; Lübnan, Gürcistan ve Azerbaycan ülkeleri ise en alt sıralarda yer almıştır. Lübnan, Gürcistan ve Azerbaycan gibi ülkelerin yaşam kalitesi açısından daha düşük sıralarda yer alması, bu ülkelerde yaşayan insanların ekonomik sorunlar, altyapı eksiklikleri, sağlık hizmetlerinde zorluklar, eğitim sistemi sorunları ve güvenlik istikrarsızlığı gibi zorluklarla karşı karşıya kalabileceğini göstermektedir. IDOCRIW-MARA yönteminin güvenilirliği ve geçerliliği, duyarlılık analizi ve Spearman sıra korelasyon testi yapılarak test edilmiştir. Bunun için diğer çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) yöntemleri (IDOCRIW-PIV, IDOCRIW-SAW, IDOCRIW-CoCoSo) ile karşılaştırmalı analizler yapılmış ve genel olarak tutarlı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, ülkelerin yaşam kalitesi düzeylerinin LQI kapsamında IDOCRIW-MARA yöntemiyle değerlendirilebileceğini göstermiştir. Ancak, farklı çalışmalarda kullanılan yöntemler ve farklı veri yılları nedeniyle sonuçlarda farklılıklar olabileceği unutulmamalıdır. Ayrıca, her ülkenin farklı sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel özellikleri olduğu ve bu durumun yaşam kalitesi algısını etkileyebileceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

Published: July 2024

The Cacha parish, located in Riobamba, Ecuador, has great tourism potential that has not yet been exploited. The objective of this study is to design positioning strategies for its tourist attractions through the implementation of effective branding. A mixed qualitative and quantitative approach was used for the research. A survey of 383 inhabitants of Riobamba was conducted to analyze tourism knowledge and preferences. Data were collected through documentary and field methods, including surveys, interviews and observation. The findings revealed that 67.1% of the respondents were unaware of Cacha's tourist attractions and 76% had not seen related publicity. However, 93% expressed willingness to visit. The conclusion is that the lack of knowledge and effective promotion are the main obstacles to tourism development in Cacha. For which strategies are proposed such as: creation of brand identity, development of promotional materials, implementation of advertising campaigns in local and digital media to increase the visibility of Cacha as a tourist destination, participation in tourism fairs and events. The implementation of these branding strategies will contribute to effectively position Cacha as an attractive tourist destination, increasing the number of visitors and generating economic benefits for the local community.

Published: July 2024

Under the heading of sustainability challenges, this study incorporates payment procedures and inventory selections. The article’s goal is to acquire insight into how the methods of payment affect perishable product inventory selections under the widely utilised carbon tax regime in view of policies to reduce emissions. Uncertainty arises as a natural consequence of the unpredictable behaviour of customers. Keeping these impacts in mind, an interval-valued inventory model is introduced, where all the related inventory parameters are considered interval-valued. In addition, the vendor offers an interval-valued discount rate to customers against advance payment. Due to the inventory parameters being chosen as interval-valued, the objective function is changed into an interval-valued form, and the corresponding differential equation is changed into an interval differential equation. To solve the interval-valued differential equation, a parametric approach to interval is introduced, and the corresponding interval-valued objective function is constructed. Interval order relations and the MATHEMATICA software are used to solve the objective function with interval values. To assess the validity of the proposed model, one numerical example is solved, and a sensitivity analysis of the ideal course of action is performed.

Published: July 2024

The study assessed the determinants of poor planning in public-sector construction projects in Nige­ria. The paper adopted a questionnaire survey. A struc­tured questionnaire was administered to 217 construc­tion professionals, out of which 156, representing 71.9%, correctly filled questionnaires were analysed. The study deployed descriptive statistics such as mean and stand­ard deviation for data analysis. Results indicated that the primary determinants of poor project planning are the need for qualified personnel, with a mean of 4.70; experience, with a mean of 4.63; and poor communica­tion among the project teams, with a mean of 4.63. The significant factors influencing the implementation of project planning in public sector construction projects include natural occurrences, the use of computers and ICT, differing approaches of those who produce the plans and those who deliver the project, the leadership of the project team, application of planning techniques, only trained project managers should plan the project, non-availability of labour, lack of experience. The criti­cal barriers to project planning implementation in pub­lic construction projects include lack of communication, performance problems, political influence, dissatisfied project teams, abandonment of the project, time over­run, absence of new technology and software for plan­ning, compromised project quality, and wrong estima­tion. The research suggests that contractors involved in public sector construction projects in Nigeria should enhance their planning and performance through various measures. These measures include conducting financial and ethical client checks, employing dedicated project managers, utilising com­puterised planning systems, and improving team communication through reliable channels.

M-dwarf stars provide us with an ideal opportunity to study nearby small planets. The HUnting for M Dwarf Rocky planets Using MAROON-X (HUMDRUM) survey uses the MAROON-X spectrograph, which is ideally suited to studying these stars, to measure precise masses of a volume-limited (<30 pc) sample of transiting M-dwarf planets. TOI-1450 is a nearby (22.5 pc) binary system containing a M3 dwarf with a roughly 3000 K companion. Its primary star, TOI-1450A, was identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to have a 2.04 days transit signal, and is included in the HUMDRUM sample. In this paper, we present MAROON-X radial velocities (RVs) which confirm the planetary nature of this signal and measure its mass at nearly 10% precision. The 2.04 days planet, TOI-1450A b, has R

b

⊕ and M

b
= 1.26 ± 0.13 M
⊕. It is the second-lowest-mass transiting planet with a high-precision RV mass measurement. With this mass and radius, the planet’s mean density is compatible with an Earth-like composition. Given its short orbital period and slightly sub-Earth density, it may be amenable to JWST follow-up to test whether the planet has retained an atmosphere despite extreme heating from the nearby star. We also discover a nontransiting planet in the system with a period of 5.07 days and a

. We also find a 2.01 days signal present in the systems’s TESS photometry that likely corresponds to the rotation period of TOI-1450A’s binary companion, TOI-1450B. TOI-1450A, meanwhile, appears to have a rotation period of approximately 40 days, which is in line with our expectations for a mid-M dwarf.

, the host is far brighter than any previously discovered microlensing planet host, opening up the opportunity to test the microlensing model with radial velocity (RV) observations. RV data can be used to measure the planet’s orbital period and eccentricity, and they also enable searching for inner planets of the microlensing cold Jupiter, as expected from the “inner–outer correlation” inferred from Kepler and RV discoveries. Furthermore, we show that Gaia astrometric microlensing will not only allow precise measurements of its angular Einstein radius θ
E but also directly measure the microlens parallax vector and unambiguously break a geometric light-curve degeneracy, leading to the definitive characterization of the lens system.
MACE: A Machine-learning Approach to Chemistry Emulation
Authors: Maes Silke , De Ceuster Frederik , Van de Sande Marie , Decin Leen
Published: July 2024

The chemistry of an astrophysical environment is closely coupled to its dynamics, the latter often found to be complex. Hence, to properly model these environments a 3D context is necessary. However, solving chemical kinetics within a 3D hydro simulation is computationally infeasible for even a modest parameter study. In order to develop a feasible 3D hydro-chemical simulation, the classical chemical approach needs to be replaced by a faster alternative. We present mace, a Machine-learning Approach to Chemistry Emulation, as a proof-of-concept work on emulating chemistry in a dynamical environment. Using the context of AGB outflows, we have developed an architecture that combines the use of an autoencoder (to reduce the dimensionality of the chemical network) and a set of latent ordinary differential equations (that are solved to perform the temporal evolution of the reduced features). Training this architecture with an integrated scheme makes it possible to successfully reproduce a full chemical pathway in a dynamical environment. mace outperforms its classical analog on average by a factor of 26. Furthermore, its efficient implementation in PyTorch results in a sublinear scaling with respect to the number of hydrodynamical simulation particles.
Chronicling the Reionization History at 6 ≲ z ≲ 7 with Emergent Quasar Damping Wings

The spectra of high-redshift (z ≳ 6) quasars contain valuable information on the progression of the Epoch of Reionization. At redshifts z < 6, the observed Lyman-series forest shows that the intergalactic medium is nearly ionized, while at z > 7 the observed quasar damping wings indicate high neutral gas fractions. However, there remains a gap in neutral gas fraction constraints at 6 ≲ z ≲ 7 where the Lyman-series forest becomes saturated but damping wings have yet to fully emerge. In this work, we use a sample of 18 quasar spectra at redshifts 6.0 < z < 7.1 to close this gap. We apply neural networks to reconstruct the quasars’ continuum emission around the partially absorbed Lyα line to normalize their spectra, and stack these continuum-normalized spectra in three redshift bins. To increase the robustness of our results, we compare the stacks to a grid of models from two hydrodynamical simulations, ATON and CROC, and we measure the volume-averaged neutral gas fraction,

Authors: Wu 吴 Yin 垠 , Yang 杨 X. J. 雪娟
Published: July 2024

Using data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, we revisit the reverse shock in the supernova remnant (SNR) Cassiopeia A. Based on spectroscopy of a series of annuli in the northwest (NW) and southeast (SE), we get the radial profiles of the S/Si Kα line flux ratio and Fe Kα line centroid energy. They both show monotonic increase, confirming that the Si- and Fe-rich ejecta are heated by the reverse shock. The abrupt change of the S and Si line flux ratio is clearly observed in Cassiopeia A, leading to the determination of the reverse-shock location (∼1.′71

±

0.′16 and ∼1.′35

±

0.′18 in the NW and SE, with respect to the central source). By comparing the radial profiles of the S and Si line flux, we find that the reverse shock is moving outward in the frame of the observer, and the velocities are ∼3950 ± 210 km s−1 and ∼2900 ± 260 km s−1 in the NW and SE, respectively. In contrast, the velocities become ∼1150 km s−1 (NW) and ∼1300 km s−1 (SE) in the ejecta frame. Our measured reverse-shock velocities are quite consistent with those obtained from the X-ray and/or optical images. They therefore supply a cross-check of the accuracy for the two available methods for measuring the reverse-shock velocity in SNRs. Both the location and the velocity of the reverse shock show apparent asymmetry, suggesting that the asymmetric explosion of the progenitor plays a key role in the interaction between the reverse shock and the ejecta, ultimately shaping the complex features observed in SNRs.
Proposal of Legal Status of the Expert Valuation Institute Objectifying the Acquisition Process

The process of procuring military equipment, technology, material, and associated services (VM) is frequently shrouded in concerns about cost-effectiveness and, in some instances, even becomes the focus of law enforcement investigations. This often leads to delays in strategic investments and exposes involved individuals to the risk of criminal charges. Additionally, there is a notable lack of capacity to impartially evaluate the overall investment's efficacy. Consequently, the "Znalec" (Expert Witness) project was initiated as a part of the defense research program. Its objective is to explore the feasibility of establishing an expert institute that could impartially assess the value of the military procurements, set a standard for evaluating these assets, and outline a training program for relevant experts. This paper specifically addresses the first objective of the project, proposing a legal framework for the expert institute based on an extensive systems analysis.
Military Will in the Czech Civil Code
Authors: Salák Pavel
Published: July 2024

The text is dedicated to the analysis of the legal regulation of military wills in the new Civil Code (Law No. 89/2012 Coll.). It places it in a historical legal context. However, priority attention is paid to a detailed analysis of the current legal regulation and potential issues that this regulation brings. It also briefly mentions other options for last dispositions that a soldier could use. The legal regulation of military wills in the Civil Code can be characterized as very well conceived, reflecting the reality of foreign missions. The fact that it takes the form of a public document is also significant if the relevant requirements are met. However, the question is how the application practice of the courts will approach the adjustment.

Authors: Slavíková Alena , Křepský Martin , Racek František , Novotný Antonín
Published: July 2024

The article concerns the issue of arson attacks in Israel. The issue of terrorism in Israel is quite broad, given that it is a very common phenomenon here and Israel deals with terrorism on a daily basis. The paper therefore focuses on incendiary balloons, a weapon that repeatedly caused fires around the Gaza Strip between 2018-2023. It examines their history, their design, outlines the possibilities of their elimination, the advantages and disadvantages of possible technical solutions, and a reflection on the future of their usage.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Concern about Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) bloodstream infections (KP-BSIs) is widespread because of their high incidence and lethality. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features of, and risk factors for mortality caused by KP-BSIs.
Methodology: This was a single-center retrospective observational study performed between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2021, at a tertiary hospital. All patients with KP-BSIs were enrolled and their clinical data were retrieved from electronic medical records.
Results: A total of 145 patients were included (121 in the survival group and 24 in the non-survival group). There was a higher proportion of lower respiratory tract infections in the non-survival group than in the survival group (33.3% vs. 12.4%) (p < 0.05). There was a higher proportion of multi drug resistant (MDR) strains of K. pneumoniae in the non-survival group than in the survival group (41.7% vs. 16.5%) (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score > 6.5 (OR, 13.71; 95% CI, 1.05–179.84), admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) (OR, 2.27; 95% CI, 0.26–19.61) and gastrointestinal bleeding (OR, 19.97; 95% CI, 1.11–361.02) were independent risk factors for death in patients with KP-BSIs.
Conclusions: Among all KP-BSIs, a high proportion of K. pneumoniae originated from lower respiratory tract infections, and a high proportion of K. pneumoniae were MDR; however, mortality was not influenced. SOFA score > 6.5, admission to the ICU, and gastrointestinal bleeding were independent risk factors for death in patients with KP-BSI.
ILC2s induce Treg but not Th2-type immunity through IL-33/ST2 pathway in pulmonary tuberculosis
Authors: Li Qifeng , Wang Quan , Xu Zhenhua
Published: July 2024

Introduction: We investigated the function of type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and IL-33 in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).
Methodology: Peripheral blood samples were collected from PTB patients and healthy controls. The cytometric bead array was used to detect plasma IL-33, TGF-β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, and soluble ST2 (sST2). ILC2s, Th2, and Treg cells were detected with flow cytometry. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure mRNA levels. ILC2s were co-cultured with peripheral blood mononuclear cells and then intervened with IL-33 or anti-ST2 antibody + IL-33 in vitro. IL-4, IL-6, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, and TGF-β levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: Compared with healthy controls, the levels of IL-33, sST2, TGF-β, IL-10, and IL-6 in the plasma of PTB patients were significantly higher. No significant difference was found in the plasma IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 levels. Patients with PTB had significantly increased ILC2s proportion and mRNA levels of RAR-related orphan receptor α and GATA binding protein 3. After 48 h of IL-33 stimulation in vitro, Treg cell proportion significantly increased and the IL-10 level was significantly elevated. Treatment with anti-ST2 abolished these effects. No significant difference was found in cytokines of IL-4, IL-6, IL-5, IL-13, and TGF-β, or Th2 cells before and after IL-33 treatment. ILC2s proportion in peripheral blood was increased and plasma IL-33 was upregulated in PTB patients.
Conclusions: IL-33 may promote the growth of ILC2s and the production of Treg-related cell cytokines, but not Th2-related cell cytokines, to participate in immune response to PTB.
Earthworms as a prey source for the insular snake Thamnophis sirtalis (Linnaeus, 1758)
Authors: Ray Julie M. , Wergeland Rowan M. , Karafa Jeffery
Published: July 2024

Insular organisms typically evolve in closed, isolated systems; thus, changes caused by introduced species can drastically affect their ecology. Isle Royale National Park (Michigan, USA) is a remote island in Lake Superior that, until relatively recently, was void of earthworms. Its two native natricine snakes are known to feed on earthworms on the mainland; here, we confirm that eastern gartersnakes (Thamnophis sirtalis) are also feeding on earthworms on Isle Royale. It is unknown how this new important dietary source will impact the snake ecology on Isle Royale.
Charles Taylor et le concept d’articulation
Authors: Lefftz Grégoire
Published: July 2024

Cet article commence par expliquer le concept d’articulation, au cœur de la pensée de Charles Taylor, puis montre comment il permet de résoudre au moins quatre apories philosophiques distinctes : à propos des valeurs, celle du réalisme platonicien et du projectivisme humien ; à propos de la liberté, celle du déterminisme intégral et de l’arbitraire absolu ; à propos de l’identité, celles qui découlent d’une conception lockéenne du moi ; en philosophie de la connaissance, celle du fondationnalisme et du scepticisme. Le but poursuivi par cet examen est, en plus d’explorer ce point particulier de la pensée de Taylor, de faire ressortir la profonde cohérence, voire la nature systématique de sa pensée, qu’un corpus par ailleurs pléthorique pourrait trop vite occulter.
Transcendance conceptuelle, racine langagière : la notion de substance au prisme du chinois
Authors: Zhang Yijing
Published: July 2024

La notion de substance, liée au verbe « être » en grec en tant qu’équivalent d’ ousia , est une notion centrale aussi bien de la métaphysique et de la logique aristotéliciennes que de la théologie thomiste. C’est aussi pourquoi elle est parmi les premières notions de la philosophie occidentale à être introduites en Chine. Sa traduction et son interprétation par les jésuites reflètent la différence fondamentale non seulement entre le chinois et les langues indo-européennes, mais aussi entre deux visions du monde, confucéenne et chrétienne. L’intraductibilité du mot « substance » consiste, d’une part, dans la non-superposabilité des connotations philosophiques entre le terme gréco-latin et son équivalent chinois ; d’autre part, dans l’incompatibilité grammaticale (la structure de prédication en grec et son absence en chinois). Mais il n’en reste pas moins que les deux visions du monde sont comparables en termes de principe suprême : Dieu ou la substance divine d’un côté, le Li de l’autre. La question se pose alors de savoir comment procéder au dialogue interculturel tout en reconnaissant les différences linguistique et culturelle. Nous proposons de substituer à l’absolument universel un relativement universel, c’est-à-dire une comparabilité sans identité, une intelligibilité sans traductibilité.
Decision-making in diagnosing heart failure problems using basic rough sets
Authors: Taher D. I. , Abu-Gdairi R. , El-Bably M. K. , El-Gayar M. A.
Published: July 2024

This manuscript introduces novel rough approximation operators inspired by topological structures, which offer a more flexible approach than existing methods by extending the scope of applications through a reliance on a general binary relation without constraints. Initially, four distinct types of neighborhoods, termed basic-minimal neighborhoods, are generated from any binary relation. The relationships between these neighborhoods and their properties are elucidated. Subsequently, new rough set models are constructed from these neighborhoods, outlining the main characteristics of their lower and upper approximations. These approximations are applied to classify the subset regions and to compute the accuracy measures. The primary advantages of this approach include its ability to achieve the highest accuracy values compared to all approaches in the published literature and to maintain the monotonicity property of the accuracy and roughness measures. Furthermore, the efficacy of the proposed technique is demonstrated through the analysis of heart failure diagnosis data, showcasing a 100% accuracy rate compared to previous methods, thus highlighting its clinical significance. Additionally, the topological properties of the proposed approaches and the topologies generated from the suggested neighborhoods are discussed, positioning these methods as a bridge to more topological applications in the rough set theory. Finally, an algorithm and flowchart are developed to illustrate the determination and utilization of basic-minimal exact sets in decision-making problems.
A modified Moore-Gibson-Thompson fractional model for mass diffusion and thermal behavior in an infinite elastic medium with a cylindrical cavity
Authors: Alhassan Yazeed , Alsubhi Mohammed , Abouelregal Ahmed E.
Published: July 2024

This article discussed a new fractional model that included governing equations describing mass and thermal diffusion in elastic materials. We formulated the thermal and mass diffusion equations using the Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo (ABC) fractional derivative and the Moore-Gibson-Thomson (MGT) equation. In addition to the fractional operators, this improvement included incorporating temperature and diffusion relaxation periods into the Green and Naghdi model (GN-Ⅲ). To verify the proposed model and analyze the effects of the interaction between temperature and mass diffusion, an infinite thermoelastic medium with a cylindrical hole was considered. We analyzed the problem under boundary conditions where the concentration remained constant, the temperature fluctuated and decreased, and the surrounding cavity was free from any external forces. We applied Laplace transform techniques and Mathematica software to generate calculations and numerical results for various field variables. We then compared the obtained results with those from previous relevant models. We have graphically depicted the results and extensively examined and evaluated them to understand the effects of the relationship between temperature and mass diffusion in the system.
Glasnik /v/ između aproksimanta i frikativa u kajkavskom
Authors: Hršak Nikolina , Carović Ines
Published: July 2024

U radu će se ponuditi opis konsonantizma mjesnoga govora Jurjevca koji se ubraja u središnjozagorski dijalekt prema klasifikaciji Mije Lončarića (Lončarić 1996) s posebnim osvrtom na glasnik /v/. Opisuje se način izgovora glasnika /v/ u različitim fonotaktičkim uvjetima pomoću akustičke analize kako bi se provjerile fonetske značajke navedenog glasa. Dio autora u detaljnijim opisima kajkavskih narječja glasnik /v/ katkad smješta u prave konsonante u položajima na kraju riječi ili prije bezvučnih konsonanta dok je u drugim slučajevima aproksimant. Takva pojava mijene jednoga glasa koji je podložan promjeni u različitim fonotaktičkim uvjetima (a posebno glasovna promjena izjednačavanja glasa prema napetosti) karakteristika je pravih konsonanata. Zbog nedosljednosti u opisima te pokušaja da se kajkavski /v/ akustički opiše, pretpostavka rada je da se glasnik /v/ u ovome govoru ostvaruje kao frikativ, a ne aproksimant kako uobičajeno navodi dosadašnja literatura (Lončarić 1996; Celinić 2020; Horvat 2020), a jedan od načina da se to istraži je akustična analiza. Građa za istraživanje snimljena je u studiju za akustička snimanja na Odsjeku za fonetiku, a akustička analiza je provedena u programu Praat (Boersma – Weenink 2005). U istraživanju je sudjelovalo četvero ispitanika  koji su cijeli život živjeli u Jurjevcu, a izgovarali su riječi na unaprijed pripremljenim fotografijama (da ne bi čitanje utjecalo na njihov izgovor) te je snimljen i njihov spontani govor. Istraživanje je odobrilo Etičko povjerenstvo Odsjeka za fonetiku Filozofskoga fakulteta u Zagrebu.
