Published: December 2022

Abstract: Earthquake, any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth's rocks. Major earthquake in recent years have highlighted the big concern of modern seismic design concept for the resilience of building. The overall goals of this thesis aim to design structural vibration control using smart material and devices and to elucidate the factors determining their robustness, feasibility, and adaptability for earthquake -resistant and resilient building. SAP2000 is a tool used for creating and analysing structural models. It offers many features across a single, customizable user interface, allowing engineers working on transportation, industrial, public works, or other facilities to generate complex models and run comprehensive tests. Earthquakes shake the ground surface, can cause buildings to collapse, disrupt transport and services, and can cause fires. They can trigger landslides and tsunami. Earthquakes occur mainly as a result of plate tectonics, which involves blocks of the Earth moving about the Earth's surface.

Abstract: The general public in public areas who face the problem with water like water overflowing or lack of water or because of extra water which goes inside of tank will leads more water into the tank. It is very hard for customers to get to know that how much water is remaining in the water tank and some other details related to water tank or water level in water tank etc. its difficult for them to understand like what’s the issue with the tank or what’s going on with water tank. By using our project water level controller using ultrasonic sensor user or customer will get to know that what Is the condition of water tank, for how much time the water tank should be in switch on state and for how much time the motor should be in off state we will get to know easily if we use this project. This device helps us in not to waste water and utilize water very efficiently. This device tells the user or customer that how much quantity of water is present in their own home’s roof head water tank. Also we can control how much quantity of water that we want to keep inside the tank for now all adjustments we can make on our own according to user preferences. Arduino will indicates us if the wastage of water is taking place at any point of time something like that. This project can be used by using wi-fi also. In our project the fluid like any fluid can be measured which is inside any kind of closed thing for example tank, water tank etc.

MAĞARA RESİMLERİNDEN GÜNÜMÜZE ULAŞAN DIŞAVURUMCU SANAT
Authors: BATUR Meral , KUYUCUK Elif
Published: December 2022

İnsanın varlığıyla yaşıt ve insana ait eylem olan sanat, her çağda ve dönemde toplumlarda farklı şekillerde kendini göstermiştir. İnsan eliyle, algısıyla ve çabasıyla şekillenen sanat; en önemli ifade ve anlatım yöntemlerinden biridir. Bu bağlamda ilk sanat eseri olarak sanat tarihinde yerini almış ilkel insanın sanatı, mağara resimlerinin içinde barındırdığı dışa vurumcu taraf incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın amacı; mağara resimlerinden yola çıkarak yirminci yüz yılın başında Almanya’da ortaya çıkan ekspresyonizm bir diğer adıyla dışavurumcu sanat akımı özellikleri ve sanatçıların eserlerinin üzerinden incelemelerde bulunmaktır. Ekspresyonizm akımı kendinden önce ortaya çıkmış empresyonizm akımının dış dünyayı incelemesi ve gördüklerini doğrudan sanatına aktarmalarına karşı çıkarak, sanatçının kendi içine döndüğü, nesneleri ve gördükleri her şeyi kendi duygu ve düşüncelerini aktarmak için kullandıkları bir akım olmuştur. Mağara resimlerinde doğanın korkutucu gücü karşısında kendisine sığınacak doğaüstü güç arayan ilkel insanın sanat aracılığıyla büyü olarak yaptığı sanat, yirminci yüzyılda savaşların ve yabancılaşmanın korkutucu taraflarını ifade etmesine dönüşmektedir. Bu bağlamda aradan geçen çağlara rağmen insanın içinde barındırdığı kendini ifade etme isteği, dış dünyaya aktarışı ve sanata yüklenen anlamın toplumlara ve medeniyetlere göre yüklenen anlamları değişiklik gösterilmiştir. Örneğin; Tarih öncesi çağlarda insanın doğayla mücadelesi ilkel insanın yaşamının temeliydi. Bu bağlamda sanatta ilkel insanın ihtiyaçları ve istekleri doğrultusunda icra edilmekteydi. Yaşamın devamı için doğaya karşı üstün gelme ihtiyacı, av faaliyetlerinin istedikleri şekilde gerçekleşmesi; ilkel insanın doğadan daha büyük bir güce sığınma ihtiyacını doğurmuştur. Toplumsal bir inanç ve ihtiyaç olan bu büyük güç avda galip gelindiğini gösteren, büyü amacıyla yapılan mağara duvar resimleridir. Varlığından beri tam olarak tanımı yapılamamış sanatın bahsi geçen örneklerin arttırılmasıyla ilk çağdan modern çağa kadar uğradığı değişim ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

Published: December 2022

Giriş: Rotenon, bir taşıyıcıdan bağımsız olarak hücresel membranları kolayca geçen, lipofilik, geniş spektrumlu insektisit ve pisisit sınıfı bir pestisittir. Bu çalışmada Rotenon’un insan periferik kan lenfositlerinde DNA üzerine olan etkisi comet metodu ile değerlendirilmiştir.Materyal-Metot: Çalışmada 4 erkek 4 kadın toplam 8 gönüllüden alınan periferik kan lenfositleri Rotenon ile 10, 50 veya 100 µM olmak üzere üç farklı dozda ve her bir doz için 1, 2 veya 4 saat olmak üzere üç farklı sürede muamele edilmiştir. Comet metodu uygulanmış ve kuyruk DNA yüzdesi parametresi DNA hasarının göstergesi olarak negatif ve pozitif kontrol grupları ile istatiksel olarak karşılaştırılmıştır.Bulgular: Rotenon uygulamaları inkübasyon saatine ve doza bağlı olarak farklı sonuçlar ortaya koymuştur. 10 veya 50 µM Rotenon ile 1 s ve 2 s inkübasyon uygulanan gruplar negatif kontrol gruplarına kıyasla DNA hasarında artışa sebep olmuş ancak bu artış istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). 100 µM doz ile 1 ve 2 s inkübasyon uygulanan gruplar, kontrol gruplarına kıyasla DNA hasarında anlamlı artışa sebep olmuştur (p<0,05). 10, 50 veya 100 µM Rotenon ile 4 s inkübasyon uygulanan gruplarda negatif kontrol grubuna kıyasla DNA hasarında anlamlı seviyede artış tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05).Sonuç: Rotenon maruziyeti kısa süreli ve düşük dozlarda olduğunda DNA hasarında artış olmakla birlikte bu artış anlamlı değildir. Doz yükseldikçe, kısa maruziyet sürelerinde de anlamlı seviyede DNA hasarı oluşmaktadır. Uzun süreli Rotenon maruziyetinde ise doz bağımsız şekilde anlamlı seviyede DNA hasarı görülmektedir.
Planificación de la franja urbano rural de Santa Eufemia, Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Cahe Emiliano Javier , De Prada Jorge Dante
Published: December 2022

This article seeks to show how to design and evaluate the territorial strategic vision of the Rural-Urban Fringe (RUF) in Santa Eufemia, Córdoba, Argentina. The methodology is based on a multi-phase multi-criteria procedure for the municipal government and the actors involved. In phase 1, local problems (opportunities) and aspirations were identified through in-depth interviews. In phase 2, a menu of alternatives was designed and assessed for two strategic decisions that emerged within the interviews, namely, rainwater drainage and local food provision. In phase 3, the actors’ preferences were revealed, and the alternatives were evaluated using the Promethee algorithm. The chosen alternatives were included in the RUF vision and complemented three structural decisions (location of an industrial park, future urban settlements, and waste management). Compared with the prognosis, the alternatives chosen, have a better performance, although some limitations are recognized. One of the alternatives reduces the water runoff that could potentially affect the locality by 50%. Another alternative increases local food production by 27%, generating an economic surplus (12 jobs) and significantly minimizing the risks of zoonotic diseases and agrochemical contamination. However, the alternatives require more investment and an increased institutional political effort than in the prognosis. Finally, the actors appreciated the alternatives designed with the three sustainability dimensions (comparison criteria) and agreed to move forward on a compromise decision about the RUF vision.
Acceder caminando a los humedales urbanos: una oportunidad de recreación y bienestar

Published: December 2022

Urban wetlands in Chilean cities are one of the urban ecosystems most affected by real estate developments. Despite their importance for recreation and biodiversity, they are constantly shrinking due to deficient urban planning processes. However, with the recent boom of green and sustainable cities, wetlands are being revalued through restoration projects and open urban parks, with natural value for the well-being of habitats and the urban population. In this sense, promoting accessibility through suitable infrastructure will contribute to improving the quality of life of inhabitants and the urban environment, specifically through the integration of blue-green infrastructure. Walkable access to a network of wetlands called "La Ruta del Agua" (“the water trail”) has been analyzed here, through a perception-based survey, looking to improve access to nature in cities. The urban wetlands assessed comprise five ecosystems located in different types of neighborhoods in the metropolitan area of Concepción, Chile. Although this is a local case study, it is relevant from a methodological perspective, given the existence of a large number of degraded urban wetlands in Latin America that are in danger of disappearing. The results show that wetlands are accessible by walking, but the fact that they are rarely visited, despite being close to residential areas, reveals a lack of integration as open green spaces, rich in biodiversity, and as places of recreation in the city of Concepción. The results of this study are valuable for the design of future “wetland parks”, one which must consider the ecosystem values, biodiversity, and recreation for people’s well-being.
Aproximación a la política pública de protección del patrimonio urbano en Colombia en clave del path dependence (1954-2019)
Authors: Fonseca-Roa Oscar Yesid
Published: December 2022

Urban heritage is a category of cultural heritage. Historic centers are protected by a legal framework that safeguards the values that are the object of the declaration. The study of urban heritage protection policy in Colombia has been limited by the classical perspective. In contrast, this research performs a case study on conservation legislation and the historical centers declared in Colombia as Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC, in Spanish) between 1954 and 2019 from historical institutionalism. The methodology used is the Path Dependence Application Scheme (EAPD, in Spanish), which seeks to recognize the relationships between the variables, periods, and trajectory of the object of study; to demonstrate the hypothesis of this work, namely the emergence of urban heritage and protection mechanisms is due to the debilitation of the law and ideas of historical heritage. The preliminary conclusions outline five periods and emphasize the mutual dependence of urban heritage and protection policies, as well as the recent emergence of citizen participation, and the loss of flexibility and versatility of the legal framework with manifestations of irreversibility in the conservation of urban heritage.
Integrated Operation of Electricity and Natural Gas Distribution Networks: A Reliability Analysis
Authors: Saldarriaga Cortés Carlos A. , Hincapié Isaza Ricardo A. , Salazar Harold
Published: December 2022

Currently the world faces a great challenge, to achieve a sustainable production of energy, which allows the adequate development of humanity but at the same time does not irreversibly affect the environment. For this, it is absolutely necessary to make optimal and effective use of the available energy resources, in order to aim for energy transition objectives that result in the rational and efficient use of energy, the penetration of renewable resources, and social development. This requires that at a technical level, methodologies be proposed that allow for a holistic analysis of the different interactions and synergies present in the energy system. Therefore, it is essential to delve into the knowledge associated with the interaction between the electricity and natural gas networks, since natural gas is expected to be the energy source that supports the increase in generation from intermittent renewable energy sources. It is for the above that this research work analyzes the reliability of the electric power distribution network based on the impact associated with a contingency in the natural gas distribution network, when both networks are coupled through natural gas-based distributed power generators. A novel non-supplied energy index and a single contingency criterion are used for estimation purposes, considering failure rates and repair times of the natural gas network to obtain a more accurate in the estimation. Numerical results show that significant penetration of natural gas-based distributed generation can compromise the reliability of the power distribution network if the natural gas network is of low reliability.
FEATURE ENGINEERING WITH SENTENCE SIMILARITY USING THE LONGEST COMMON SUBSEQUENCE FOR EMAIL CLASSIFICATION
Authors: B Aruna Kumara , Kodabagi Mallikarjun M
Published: December 2022

Feature selection plays a prominent role in email classification since selecting the most relevant features enhances the accuracy and performance of the learning classifier. Due to the exponential increase rate in the usage of emails, the classification of such emails posed a fitting problem. Therefore, there is a requirement for a proper classification system. Such an email classification system requires an efficient feature selection method for the accurate classification of the most relevant features. This paper proposes a novel feature selection method for sentence similarity using the longest common subsequence for email classification. The proposed feature selection method works in two main phases: First, it builds the longest common subsequence vector of features by comparing each email with all other emails in the dataset. Later, a template is constructed for each class using the closest features of emails of a particular class. Further, email classification is tested for unseen emails using these templates. The performance of the proposed method is compared with traditional feature selection methods such as TF-IDF, Information Gain, Chi-square, and semantic approach. The experimental results showed that the proposed method performed well with 96.61% accuracy.

Com o objetivo de discutir as relações entre jornalismo e entretenimento na sociedade contemporânea, este artigo apresenta resultados de um estudo de caso sobre o programa audiovisual Greg News, autodenominado “noticioso humorístico”. A partir da análise de conteúdo sobre o programa e de uma pesquisa bibliográfica que descortina a contradição histórica constitutiva do campo jornalístico na Modernidade – a polaridade entre cumprir uma função educativa ou uma função de entretenimento –, consideramos que o infotenimento pode ser compreendido como um formato híbrido contemporâneo que funde informação jornalística com entretenimento. O corpus de pesquisa é composto por um recorte dos 14 episódios do programa Greg News (2018), reproduzido no YouTube. O principal resultado do estudo revela que o infotenimento predomina enquanto modelo de narrativa.
A multi-omics approach to unravel the interaction between heat and drought stress in the Arabidopsis thaliana holobiont
Authors: Kolb Steffen , Senizza Biancamaria , Araniti Fabrizio , Lewin Simon , Wende Sonja , Lucini Luigi
Published: December 2022

The impact of combined heat and drought stress was investigated in
Arabidopsis thaliana and compared to individual stresses to
reveal additive effects and interactions. A combination of plant
metabolomics and root and rhizosphere bacterial metabarcoding were used
to unravel effects at the plant holobiont level. Hierarchical cluster
analysis of metabolomics signatures pointed out two main clusters, one
including heat and combined heat and drought, and the second cluster
that included the control and drought treatments. Overall,
phenylpropanoids and nitrogen-containing compounds, hormones and amino
acids showed the highest discriminant potential. A decrease in alpha
diversity was observed upon stress, with stress-dependent differences in
bacterial microbiota composition. The shift in beta-diversity
highlighted the pivotal enrichment of Proteobacteria, including
Rhizobiales, Enterobacteriales and Azospirillales.
The results corroborate the concept of stress interaction, where the
combined heat and drought stress is not the mere combination of the
single stresses. Intriguingly, multi-omics interpretations evidenced a
good correlation between root metabolomics and root bacterial
microbiota, indicating an orchestrated modulation of the whole
holobiont.
Distinct life history strategies underpin clear patterns of succession in microparasite communities infecting a wild mammalian host
Authors: Glidden Caroline , Karakoç Canan , Duan Chenyang , Jiang Yuan , Beechler Brianna , Jabbar Abdul , Jolles Anna
Published: December 2022

In free-living ecological communities, organismal life histories shape
interactions with their environment, which ultimately forms the basis of
ecological succession. Individual animals in natural populations tend to
host diverse parasite species concurrently over their lifetimes.
However, the structure and dynamics of mammalian parasite communities
have not been contextualized in terms of primary ecological succession,
in part because few datasets track occupancy and abundance of multiple
parasites in wild hosts starting at birth. Here, we studied community
dynamics of twelve subtypes of protozoan microparasites (Theileria spp.)
in a herd of African buffalo. We show that Theileria communities
followed predictable patterns of succession underpinned by four
different parasite life-history strategies. In contrast to many
free-living communities, network complexity decreased with host age.
Examining parasite communities through the lens of succession may better
inform the effect of complex within host eco-evolutionary dynamics on
infection outcomes, including parasite co-existence through the lifetime
of the host.
External Validity in Distributed Data Networks
Authors: Webster-Clark Michael , Toh Sengwee , Arnold Jonathan , McTigue Kathleen M. , Carton Thomas , Platt Robert
Published: December 2022

Purpose: While much has been written about how distributed networks
address internal validity, external validity is rarely discussed. We
aimed to define key terms related to external validity, discuss how they
relate to distributed networks, and identify how three networks (the US
Food and Drug Administration’s Sentinel System, the Canadian Network for
Observational Drug Effect Studies [CNODES], and PCORnet, the
National Patient Centered Clinical Research Network, initiated and
supported by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. Methods:
We define external validity, target populations, target validity,
generalizability, and transportability and describe how each relates to
distributed networks. We then describe Sentinel, CNODES, and PCORnet and
how each approaches these concepts. Results: Each network approaches
external validity differently Sentinel answers regulatory questions in
the general US population using data from commercial health plans and
Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries and considers external validity
when exploring outliers or performing subgroup analyses to examine
potential heterogeneity of treatment effects. CNODES focuses on a
Canadian target population but includes UK and US data and thus has to
make decisions about which partners can be included in each analysis.
PCORnet supports a wider array of studies including randomized trials
and often assesses whether a given study will be representative of the
wider US population. Conclusions: There is no one-size-fits-all approach
to external validity within distributed networks. With these networks
and comparisons between their findings becoming a key part of
pharmacoepidemiology, there is a need to adapt tools for improving
external validity to the distributed network setting.
Clade‐specific differences in leaf-height-seed strategy scheme
Authors: Yu Fei , Fu Shijia , Wang Yang , Yi Xianfeng
Published: December 2022

The leaf-height-seed (LHS) plant ecology strategy scheme posits that
functional traits such as leaf size, stem height and seed mass play a
key role in life history of plants. Although many studies have explored
the LHS scheme across plant species, to our knowledge, no study has so
far linked functional trait patterns across different plant clades.
Here, we first explored the LHS scheme of several plant clades, i.e.,
palms, other monocots, dicots and gymnosperms, to understand how
potential forces drive variation of plant functional traits. We showed
that phylogeny constrains plant functional traits and appears to be the
most decisive factor that controls variation in seed mass irrespective
of plant clades. Apart from phylogeny, a majority of variation in seed
mass was explained by leaf size in palms clade, whereas by plant height
in other monocots and dicots. Neither leaf size nor plant height well
explained variation in seed mass of gymnosperms clade. Our study
strongly suggests that different plant clades exhibit distinct LHS
schemes, paving a new avenue for better understanding evolution and
correlation between functional traits across sets of plant species.

Published: December 2022

RATIONALE: Obstructive sleep apnea is highly prevalent in
children with asthma, particularly in obese children. The sleep related
breathing disorder screening questionnaire has low screening accuracy
for obstructive sleep apnea in children with asthma. Our goal was to
identify the questions on the sleep related breathing disorder survey
associated with obstructive sleep apnea in children with asthma.
METHODS: Participants completed the survey, underwent
polysomnography and their body mass index z-score was measured.
Participants with survey scores above 0.33 were considered high risk for
obstructive sleep apnea and those with an apnea hypopnea index ≥ 2
events/hour classified as having obstructive sleep apnea. Logistic
regression was used to examine the association of each survey question
and obstructive sleep apnea. Positive and negative predictive values
were calculated to estimate screening accuracy. RESULTS: The
prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea was 40% in our sample (n=136).
Loud snoring, morning dry mouth and being overweight were the questions
associated with obstructive sleep apnea. A combined model of loud
snoring, morning dry mouth and being overweight had positive and
negative predictive values of 57.4% and 81.0% respectively, while the
composite survey score had positive and negative predictive values of
51.0% and 65.5%. Body mass index z-score had positive and negative
predictive values of 76.3% and 72.2%. CONCLUSIONS: The body
mass index z-score is useful for obstructive sleep apnea screening in
children with asthma and should be applied routinely given its
simplicity and concerns that obstructive sleep apnea may contribute to
asthma morbidity.
Security During Transmission Of Data Using Web Steganography
Authors: Gyimah Seth Adjei
Published: December 2022

The enormous improvements in communications and related technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and its web-based and mobile applications, have changed our way of life. We are also noticing a trend in which internet-connected electronic devices are using technology more frequently and providing customers with services of a higher standard. However, there are several complications and issues that arise when sending and receiving information via the internet. The security, privacy, and preservation of sent information are the most critical of them all. The security of information has grown to be a significant problem with the expansion of data transfer across computer networks. There are numerous ways to safeguard data and prevent unwanted users from accessing it. Steganography and cryptography are two different data hiding and protection techniques. Steganography conceals communications within some other digital media. On the other side, cryptography obscures the message's content and makes it challenging for readers to decipher. To safeguard data, steganography can be combined with cryptographic methods. Combining steganography and cryptography for hidden data transmission is the best suggested method for protecting data transferred over the internet. A data carrier that is an image can be used for the transmission. With regard to capacity, security, and robustness for secure data transmission over an open channel, this combinational methodology will be sufficient. The purpose of this paper is to explain the steganographic security measures used to protect data while it is being transmitted across a network. Key words: Security, Transmission, Data, Web Steganography

We investigate a generalization of many functional equations. Namely, we
consider the following functional equation ?S f(x + y + t) d?(t) + ?S f(x +
?(y) + t) d?(t) = f(x) + h(y), x, y ? S, where (S,+) is an abelian
semigroup, ? is a surjective endomorphism of S, E is a linear space over the
field K ? {R, C} and ?,? are linear combinations of Dirac measures. Under
appropriate conditions on ? and ? and based on Stetkar?s result [9], we find
and characterize solutions of the previous functional equation.

Objective: Pregnant individuals are universally screened for gestational diabetes. Gestational glucose intolerance (GGI, an abnormal initial gestational diabetes screening test without a gestational diabetes diagnosis) is not a recognized diabetes risk factor. We tested for an association between GGI and diabetes after pregnancy.

Research Design and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of individuals followed for prenatal and primary care. We defined GGI as an abnormal screening glucose loading test result at > 24 weeks’ gestation with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) that did not meet gestational diabetes criteria. The primary outcome was incident diabetes. We used Cox proportional-hazard models with time-varying exposures and covariates to compare incident diabetes risk in individuals with GGI and normal glucose tolerance. 

Results: Among 16,836 individuals, 20,359 pregnancies had normal glucose tolerance, 2,943 had GGI, and 909 had gestational diabetes. Over a median of 8.4 years of follow-up, 428 individuals developed diabetes. Individuals with GGI had increased diabetes risk compared to those with normal glucose tolerance in pregnancy (adjusted hazard ratio, aHR [95% confidence interval, CI] 2.01[1.54-2.62], p<0.001). Diabetes risk increased with the number of abnormal OGTT values (zero: aHR 1.54[1.09-2.16], p=0.01; one: aHR 2.97[2.07-4.27], p<0.001; gestational diabetes: aHR 8.26[6.49-10.51], p<0.001; each compared to normal glucose tolerance). The fraction of diabetes 10 years after delivery attributable to GGI and gestational diabetes was 8.5% and 28.1%, respectively.

Conclusion:  GGI confers an increased risk of future diabetes. Routinely available clinical data identify an unrecognized group who may benefit from enhanced diabetes screening and prevention.

Nur Hidayah integrated Islamic high school Surakarta is an educational institution that provides dormitories. Several years ago there were not as many students living as now. Nearly 80% of students live in guesthouses. This study aims to identify and examine the roles of supervisors (musyrif) on student achievement. This research is field research conducted by Integrated Islamic High School (SMA IT) Nur Hidayah Surakarta. This research is implementing interviews, observation, and documentation and then using a phenomenological and analytical approach. This study showed that this school tended to use democratic parenting. In educational institutions, no parenting style only uses one pattern, so in fact, educational institutions apply moderate parenting or combine all parenting patterns with a divided composition. The special role of the supervisor members (musyrif) at Nur Hidayah is to implement a home learning system. The special feature of this system allows students to be more intense to interact with the surrounding community. This system makes it possible for them to be prepared in real life. Given that intellectual intelligence is no longer the main thing, there must be a balance between social and emotional intelligence. Nur Hidayah's musyrif parenting provides opportunities and stimuli for students to be able to develop academic and non-academic abilities. Specific positive activities that exist in each type of Dormitory will support their development in learning such as taḥfiz, foreign language practice, and so on. Besides that, the composition of moderate parenting (combining three styles of parenting) that has been made in such a way will make fostering, supervision, learning, and education more effective and efficient.
