Hardy type inequalities for one weight function and their applications
Authors: Nasibullin Ramil' Gaisaevich
Published: August 2023

New one-dimensional Hardy-type inequalities for a weight function of the form $x^\alpha(2-x)^\beta$ for positive and negative values
of the parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are put forward.
In some cases, the constants in the resulting one-dimensional inequalities are sharp.
We use one-dimensional inequalities with additional terms to establish multivariate inequalities with weight functions depending
on the mean distance function or the distance function from the boundary of a domain. Spatial inequalities are proved in arbitrary domains,
in Davies-regular domains, in domains satisfying the cone condition, in $\lambda$-close to convex domains,
and in convex domains. The constant in the additional term in the spatial inequalities depends on the volume or
the diameter of the domain. As a consequence of these multivariate inequalities,
estimates for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian under the Dirichlet boundary conditions in various classes of domains are established.
We also use one-dimensional inequalities to obtain new classes of meromorphic univalent functions in simply connected domains. Namely,
Nehari-Pokornii type sufficient conditions for univalence are obtained.
Multivariate tile $\mathrm{B}$-splines
Authors: Zaitseva Tatyana Ivanovna
Published: August 2023

Tile $\mathrm{B}$-splines in $\mathbb R^d$ are defined as autoconvolutions
of indicators of tiles,
which are special self-similar compact sets whose integer translates tile
the space $\mathbb R^d$. These functions are not piecewise-polynomial,
however, being direct
generalizations of the classical $\mathrm{B}$-splines, they enjoy many of
their properties and have some advantages. In particular, exact
values of the Hölder exponents of tile $\mathrm{B}$-splines
are evaluated and are shown, in some cases, to exceed those of the classical $\mathrm{B}$-splines.
Orthonormal systems of wavelets based on tile B-splines are constructed,
and estimates of their exponential decay are obtained.
Efficiency in applications of tile $\mathrm{B}$-splines is demonstrated on an example of subdivision schemes
of surfaces. This efficiency is achieved due to high regularity, fast convergence, and small number
of coefficients in the corresponding refinement equation.

Green energy of discrete signed measure on concentric circles
Authors: Dubinin Vladimir Nikolaevich
Published: August 2023

We show that the difference between the Green energy of a discrete signed measure
relative to a circular annulus concentrated at some points on concentric circles and the energy
of the signed measure at symmetric points
is non-decreasing during the expansion of the annulus. As a corollary, generalizations of
the classical
Pólya-Schur inequality for complex numbers are obtained.
Some open problems are formulated.
Comparative Study on the Fatigue Behavior of Jute-Wool Felt/Epoxy
Hybrid and Glass Fiber/Epoxy Composite
Authors: Thilakan Sanjay , Mathivanan N. Rajesh
Published: August 2023

Currently, there is a growing tendency to incorporate natural fibers in
composites due to their affordability, lightweight nature, and eco-friendliness.
Researchers are continuously exploring new materials that offer improved
mechanical properties for a broader range of applications. In this work, an
experimental investigation on tensile and fatigue behavior of jute-wool
felt-reinforced epoxy hybrid laminate is carried, in addition to an E-glass
fiber-reinforced epoxy laminate that helps in comparison. Constant amplitude
tensile fatigue test is conducted for 80%, 70%, and 60% of the ultimate load of
respective composites at a stress ratio of 0.1 and frequency of 7 Hz for both
laminates. The jute-wool felt composite showed good fatigue resistance. Though
glass fiber composite showed higher tensile strength, jute-wool felt composite
exhibits higher fatigue performance than glass fiber composites at higher stress
levels. However, at lower stress levels, glass fiber composite shows better
fatigue resistance than jute-wool felt composite. A prediction model that uses a
few set of experimental results of fatigue test was able to validate the fatigue
behavior of composites. The optical microscope images of failed samples were
analyzed to detect the damage in composites.

Comprehensive Review
Authors: Du Haiping , Liu Pengfei , Ning Donghong , Zhang Nong
Published: August 2023

The electrically interconnected suspension (EIS) is a novel suspension system
that has gained attention due to its potential to improve vehicle vibration
control. This article provides a comprehensive review of EIS and related
technologies. It starts with an overview of the research on hydraulic
interconnected suspension (HIS) and its limitations. Then, it discusses the
development of the electromagnetic suspension (EMS) and its advantages in
adjusting mechanical characteristics. The article focuses on the electrical
network and decoupling control characteristics of EIS, demonstrating the
principle of synchronous decoupling control of multiple vibration modes. A
comparison of the structure and control characteristics of EIS and HIS
highlights the advantages of EIS in vehicle vibration control. The article
concludes by identifying some unresolved issues and potential research areas to
guide future studies on EIS, such as improving the controllability and energy
efficiency of EIS systems.
Effect of Platoon Configurations on the Anti-Disturbing
Performance
Authors: Wu Xiangji , Yang Xiujian , Zhang Shengbin , Wang Shenyi
Published: August 2023

In order to promote the actual application of the vehicular platoon, this study
investigates the effect of the specific platoon configurations including
predecessor following (PF), predecessor–leader following (PLF), and
bidirectional following (BD), on the anti-disturbing performance from the linear
to nonlinear perspective. First, based on the method of sensitivity of error
propagation to the disturbance, a linear platoon model is established by
considering an individual vehicle as a lumped-mass point. Then, the transfer
function matrix from disturbance to spacing error is derived for sensitivity
analysis. Finally, especially considering the inherent vehicle dynamics, the
Burckhardt tire force model is adopted to construct a nonlinear platoon dynamics
model for the nonlinear dynamics analysis. The results reveal the
characteristics of each platoon configuration, as well as the design of control
gains in terms of the anti-disturbing performance. The nonlinear dynamics
property in high-adhesion conditions are generally similar to those of the
sensitivity analysis based on the linear platoon model. However, some particular
and complex phenomena different from the linear sensitivity analysis especially
in low-adhesion conditions are only observed by the nonlinear dynamics
analysis.
Using a Consensus-Driven Approach to Incorporate Holistic Review Into an Internal Medicine Residency Program
Authors: Golden Blair P. , Holland Robert , Zakowski Laura , Smith Jeremy
Published: August 2023

Background Despite growing interest in incorporating holistic review within residency admissions, implementation by residency programs remains challenging.

Objective To incorporate holistic review into the internal medicine residency program at the University of Wisconsin and to report initial feasibility and acceptability data.

Methods During the 2020-2021 application cycle, residency stakeholders performed a consensus-driven process to identify highly valued applicant attributes. We used a holistic review process to identify the presence of these attributes among applicants and updated our rank list algorithm to incorporate these attributes. We modified our interview screening criteria and rank list algorithm to de-emphasize other metrics. We surveyed stakeholders to assess time required for this process and compared our final rank list to what it would have been using our prior system.

Results The final list of 10 prioritized applicant attributes included extraordinary leadership, community service, and grit, among others. Among 25 matched residents, 8 (32%) were recognized to have exceptional achievement within one of these 10 attributes. Four members of the incoming intern class (16%) would have been in a rank position lower than our historical matched resident cutoff had they not received additional points for these attributes. Faculty reported that holistic review of applications took an additional 3.8 minutes on average. It was felt that current application materials limit the ability to implement a fully holistic review.

Conclusions The addition of holistic review to our residency admissions process was achieved using a consensus-driven approach and showed favorable feasibility and acceptability data.
Comparing Machine Learning Models and Human Raters When Ranking Medical Student Performance Evaluations
Authors: Kibble Jonathan , Plochocki Jeffrey
Published: August 2023

Background The Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE), a narrative summary of each student’s academic and professional performance in US medical school is long, making it challenging for residency programs evaluating large numbers of applicants.

Objective To create a rubric to assess MSPE narratives and to compare the ability of 3 commercially available machine learning models (MLMs) to rank MSPEs in order of positivity.

Methods Thirty out of a possible 120 MSPEs from the University of Central Florida class of 2020 were de-identified and subjected to manual scoring and ranking by a pair of faculty members using a new rubric based on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competencies, and to global sentiment analysis by the MLMs. Correlation analysis was used to assess reliability and agreement between student rank orders produced by faculty and MLMs.

Results The intraclass correlation coefficient used to assess faculty interrater reliability was 0.864 (P<.001; 95% CI 0.715-0.935) for total rubric scores and ranged from 0.402 to 0.768 for isolated subscales; faculty rank orders were also highly correlated (rs=0.758; P<.001; 95% CI 0.539-0.881). The authors report good feasibility as the rubric was easy to use and added minimal time to reading MSPEs. The MLMs correctly reported a positive sentiment for all 30 MSPE narratives, but their rank orders produced no significant correlations between different MLMs, or when compared with faculty rankings.

Conclusions The rubric for manual grading provided reliable overall scoring and ranking of MSPEs. The MLMs accurately detected positive sentiment in the MSPEs but were unable to provide reliable rank ordering.

Published: August 2023

Background The Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) provides accountability to the general public that physicians completing a training program have achieved competence. CCC processes and features that best identify resident outcomes along a developmental spectrum are not well described.

Objective This study sought to describe CCC features associated with effective and efficient CCC performance.

Methods The study was conducted as part of the 2022 Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance survey of family medicine residency program directors. The survey assessed CCC methods, policies, faculty development, structure, and overall CCC time required. The outcomes were identification of residents along a spectrum of development, from failing to exceeding expectations. Ordinal logistic regressions were used to explore the relationship between CCC characteristics and CCC outcomes.

Results The response rate was 43.3% (291 of 672). Eighty-nine percent (258 of 291) of program directors reported their CCC is successful in identifying residents not meeting expectations; 69.3% (201 of 290) agree their CCC identifies residents who are exceeding expectations. Programs with written policies for synthesizing data (OR=2.53; 95% CI 1.22-5.22; P=.012) and written policies for resident feedback (OR=19.91; 95% CI 3.72-106.44; P<.001) were more likely to report successfully identifying residents below expectations. Programs whose members spent fewer than 3 hours per 6-month interval on CCC meetings were less likely to report being able to identify failing residents (OR=0.37; 95% CI 0.19-0.72; P=.004).

Conclusions This survey of family medicine program directors suggests that formal policies, faculty development, and adequate time for CCC faculty are associated with an effective CCC, especially if goals beyond “identifying failure” are desired.

Published: August 2023

Background Teaching near-peers yields numerous benefits to residents. Opportunities for near-peer teaching are typically restricted to hospital settings. Little is known about the educational potential of outpatient near-peer teaching.

Objective To describe Primary Care Teaching (PC Teach), a novel outpatient near-peer teaching experience for residents in a large, urban, internal medicine residency program; characterize its feasibility and acceptability; and evaluate changes in residents’ self-reported confidence in outpatient teaching and attitudes toward teaching and primary care/outpatient medicine.

Methods In 2020-2021, following a didactic workshop, 43 postgraduate year 3 (PGY-3) residents at continuity clinics assigned to PC Teach completed a series of half-day sessions acting as preceptor to interns under attending supervision. Worksheets facilitated post-session feedback for residents and interns. Eighteen PGY-3s at nonparticipating clinics, who also completed the workshop, served as controls. We assessed process measures for feasibility and acceptability and analyzed resident attitudes using pre-post surveys.

Results Participating residents completed 2 to 8 sessions each. Post-intervention scores for confidence in outpatient teaching and attitudes toward teaching were greater, relative to pre-intervention group means, for intervention residents (median pre-post changes +0.60 [IQR 0.26, 1.26] and +0.46 [-0.04, 0.46], respectively) vs controls (-0.15 [-0.48, 0.85] and -0.36 [-0.86, 0.39]; between-group differences +0.75 [P=.03] and +0.82 [P=.02]). Changes in attitudes toward primary care/outpatient medicine did not differ significantly between intervention and control groups (+0.43 [-0.07, 0.68] and 0.04 [-0.58, 0.42]; between-group difference +0.39 [P=.12]). In multivariable analyses, odds of gains in confidence in outpatient teaching remained significantly larger for intervention residents vs controls.

Conclusions Implementing PC Teach with existing resources was feasible and acceptable, with program flexibility highlighted as a strength. Resident participation was associated with greater confidence in outpatient teaching.

Published: August 2023

Background The transition to telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed a lack of preexisting telehealth training for clinicians. As a workplace-based simulation methodology designed to improve virtual clinical skills, announced standardized patients (ASPs) may help meet evolving educational needs to sustain quality telehealth care.

Objective We describe the development and implementation of an ASP program to assess and provide feedback to resident and faculty clinicians in virtual practice, and report on performance, feasibility, and acceptability.

Methods From June 2021 to April 2022, resident and faculty clinicians at a VA primary care clinic participated in a video visit in which an ASP portrayed either a 70-year-old man with hearing loss and hypertension or a 60-year-old man with hypertension and financial stress. Following the visit, ASPs provided verbal feedback and completed a behaviorally anchored checklist to rate telehealth and communication skills, chronic disease management, and use of resources. Domain summary scores were calculated as the mean percentage of “well done” items. Participants completed a feedback survey on their experience.

Results Seventy-six televisits (60 primary care residents [postgraduate year 1-3], 16 internal medicine faculty) were conducted from August 2021 to April 2022. Clinicians performed well in communication skills: information gathering (79%, 60 of 76, well done), relationship development (67%, 51 of 76), education and counseling (71%, 54 of 76), and patient satisfaction (86%, 65 of 76). They performed less well in telemedicine skills (38%, 29 of 76). Participants agreed that the experience was a good use of their time (88%, 67 of 76).

Conclusions An ASP-facilitated training for resident and faculty clinicians assessed telehealth skills and clinical practice and identified areas for intervention. Clinicians responded well to the training and feedback.
Gustav Mahler’in Eseri Das Lied von der Erde'de Çin Tang Şiiri İzleri
Authors: UNAL CHİANG Gonca
Published: August 2023

Her tarihi dönem, her millet, her kültür ve her sanat türü kendi bireysel prensiplerine sahip olmakla birlikte, yaşamsal zorlukların insan duygularına olan yansımaları asırlar boyunca değişmemiş; hüzün, farklı zaman dilimlerinde ve bambaşka kültürlerde de olsa, hisseden insanın ruhunda benzer etkiler yaratmıştır. Bu nedenle, aralarında yüzlerce yıllık zaman farkı ve binlerce kilometrelik mesafe de olsa, dünyadaki sanatçılar birbirleriyle bağlantı kurabilmiş ve eserleriyle birbirlerinin duygularına tercüman olabilmişlerdir. 20. yüzyılın en ünlü bestecilerinden olan Avusturyalı orkestra şefi Gustav Mahler, 8. yüzyılda eser vermiş olan Çin Tang dönemi şairlerinin şiirlerinden esinlenerek, “yaratıcılığının tacı” olarak bilinen senfonisi Das Lied von der Erde’yi [Yeryüzünün Şarkısı] yaratmıştır. Tang şiirlerinin içerdiği doğal dünya tasvirlerinden, yaşam döngüsünden, hayatın anlamından ve insan kaderinden feyz alan Mahler, hayatının son döneminde yaşadığı kişisel acılarının yansıması olarak gördüğü bu şiirlerde bazı düzenlemeler yapmış ve etki alanı orijinal şiirlerden daha geniş olan senfoni eserini dinleyicileriyle buluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada, bahsi geçen Tang şiirlerinin orijinalleri ile Mahler’in Das Lied von der Erde için düzenlediği sözler dilimize tercüme edilerek orijinal şiirler ile Mahler’in sözleri arasında karşılaştırmalı bir inceleme yapılmış ve Mahler’in eserindeki Çin şiiri izleri tespit edilmiştir.
Building Intercultural Competences for Students Who Study Abroad
Authors: Kanareva-Dimitrovska Ana , Carroll-Bøgh Ann
Published: August 2023

People do not always match one’s prior expectations, and people from countries different from one’s own often do not conform to our stereotypical expectations. This is no less true for students who choose to study abroad as part of their degree programmes. While students may be interculturally competent in one context, they may be considerably less so in another. A single semester exchange can expose them to a wide array of encounters for which they are unprepared, both at their host universities and in their destination countries.

There is much discussion about how best to help intercultural learning in the context of mobility. This paper draws on findings from third-level incoming and outgoing student mobilities over a four-year period. The purpose is to highlight insights into the cognitive and emotive challenges, motivations, and reflections that students experience before, during, and after studying abroad. Developing and implementing an online platform for intercultural training will enable future exchange students to prepare and engage actively in all three phases of this journey. It is expected that active and voluntary participation and engagement in suchtraining will help to promote students´ plurilingual and intercultural competences as well as trigger personal and professional growth. This has the potential to be a win-win experience not just for the individual student but also for their subsequent career journey when navigating a knowledge-based global economy.

Uluslararası ticarete çoğunlukla tercih edilen denizyolu taşımacılığının en önemli aktörleri gemilerdir. Denizyolu taşımacılığı faaliyetlerin aksamaması ve sürdürülebilir deniz taşımacılığı için tehlikeli çalışma ortamının olduğu gemilerde, iş güvenliği ilkelerine uyulması ve iş kazalarının analiz edilmesi hayati önem taşımaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı, ticaret gemilerinde meydana gelen iş kazalarının nedenlerinin analiz edilmesi ve gemi türlerine göre iş kazalarının incelenmesidir. Bu amaca yönelik olarak da gemilerde çalışan kaptan, baş mühendis ve gemi işletmelerinin emniyet ve kalite departmanlarının yöneticilerinden anket tekniği ile elde edilen veriler, çok kriterli karar verme yöntemlerinden AHP, TOPSIS ve MOORA yöntemleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda iş kazası sebepleri arasında en yüksek üç kaza nedeninin; “ISM kodu gerekliliklerine uymama ”, “yönetim yetersizliği” ve “ makine-ekipman arızası” kaynaklı kazalar olduğu ve en düşük üç kaza türünün ise “yük operasyon kaynaklı”, “ çalışma ortamının fiziki koşulları” ve ‘‘meteorolojik koşullar ’’ olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen TOPSIS ve MOORA analizlerinde en riskli gemi türü “Ro-Ro Gemisi” olarak bulunurken AHP yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilen analizde en riskli gemi türünün ‘‘sıvı dökme yük gemisi” olarak bulunmuştur. Literatürde daha önce gemilerdeki iş kazalarının nedenlerini ve üç farklı çok kriterli karar verme tekniğini bir arada kullanan bir yönteme rastlanılmaması sebebiyle çalışmanın alan yazınına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

The background for conducting this research is that there are problems with effectiveness, obstacles and efforts in optimizing the distribution of social assistance in handling Covid-19 in the Administrative City of North Jakarta. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the effectiveness, obstacles and efforts in optimizing the distribution of social assistance in handling Covid-19 in the Administrative City of North Jakarta. This research method is included in the type of post-positivism research that uses a qualitative approach with a total of 10 informants. Data analysis techniques in this study are data reduction, data presentation and conclusion and verification. The results of this study prove that: (1) The process of distributing social assistance in the form of groceries and BLT in handling Covid-19 in the Administrative City of North Jakarta, is still not effective. Many people who should have received assistance were not even recorded because data manipulation in the field was carried out by appointed implementing officers. (2) Obstacles encountered in the process of distributing social assistance in handling Covid-19 in the Administrative City of North Jakarta, include the lack of outreach to the public about the procedures and requirements for receiving social assistance, the lack of precise targets in the provision of social assistance, and recorded data on recipients of social assistance in DTKS (Integrated Social Welfare Data) is less valid. (3) Efforts made to optimize the effectiveness of the distribution of social assistance in handling Covid-19 in the Administrative City of North Jakarta, by increasing the budget for the procurement of social assistance so that the number of beneficiaries can be greater, strengthens the synergy between the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Social Affairs in making population database on the basis of a Population Identification Number, as well as the formation of an integrated team and socialization of the timing of assistance in the implementation of social assistance distribution so that it becomes an example for other regions.
Ideological Representation of Unity and Peace through Contrast: A Critical Stylistic Analysis of Ambanasom’s Son of the Native Soil
Authors: Seino Evangeline Agwa Fomukong
Published: August 2023

Critical Stylistics is interested in uncovering and revealing hidden ideologies in texts and discourses. It analyses power relationships in society representing reality, which is based on the fact that there is a level at which texts organise the world we experience and that this is demonstrable in the words and structures of the texts themselves. Writers have different ways to portray power relations in society and this is exactly what Ambanasom does in Son of the Native Soil. This study examines the following questions; how does Ambanasom represent unity; what discursive choices does Ambanasom use to bring out his ideology and how does the story represent the Ngie society? In Son of the Native Soil, Shadrach A. Ambanasom portrays a power tussle in the Ngie clan contrasting the good and the bad.  He contrasts through rhetorical questions, comparison, discourses, pre-modifiers and proverbs. This analysis assumes that the creation and interpretation of texts is ideological and that each text presents the world in a particular way. It also asserts that in fiction, texts can help expose society’s dominant ideologies and allow readers to see them in operation.
Does Context-Based Learning Increase Academic Achievement and Learning Retention?: A Review based on Meta-Analysis
Authors: Tutal Özgür
Published: August 2023

The meta-analysis focuses on examining the effects of context-based learning on students' academic achievement and learning retention. A comprehensive search of the available research literature identified a total of 42 studies addressing academic achievement and 10 studies investigating learning retention. The findings of the analysis indicated that context-based learning had a statistically significant positive impact on both academic achievement (g=0.970) and learning retention (g=0.791) when compared to teacher-led instruction. These results were obtained using the random-effects model. To ensure the robustness of the findings, an assessment for publication bias was conducted. The analysis suggested that the observed effects were not influenced by publication bias. However, it is important to note that there was a notable variability in effect sizes across the included studies. To explore potential factors contributing to this heterogeneity, moderator analysis was performed on five possible moderator variables. The results of moderator analysis revealed that the impact of context-based learning on academic achievement was only moderated by group size. Specifically, studies with fewer than 50 participants demonstrated a strong effect (g=1.116), as did studies with 50-100 participants (g=1.096). On the other hand, studies with more than 100 participants exhibited a modest effect (g=0.498). These findings suggest that group size plays a role in moderating the effects of context-based learning on academic achievement. It implies that smaller groups may provide a more conducive environment for implementing context-based learning approaches, resulting in stronger effects compared to larger groups.
Epic Time in Azerbaijan Folk Tales (Based on Folk Tales Gathered in Nakhchivan)
Authors: Xudaverdiyeva Tehranə
Published: August 2023

The article investigates the characteristic features of the epic time in the folk tales gathered in
Nakhchivan. It is noted that epic time is formed according to the poetic features of folk tale groups, their
social functions, the idea they want to instill in the society, and it is perceived as a subjective time. In the
fairy tales, it has a fantastic character and it is given with fantastic lines. The article also notes that along
with space, time can form the poetic system of folk tales and also become a distinguishing indication of
folktale groups. Taking into account the features of the epic time, the article searches the distinguishing
means of tale groups and the meanings they express on the basis of examples of folk tales gathered in
Nakhchivan. The article also mentions that in fairy tales, the one who has magical powers is also the master
of time. He who has magical powers can take the time back or forth, bring a dead person back to life, and
so on. In religious tales, time is presented on the basis of religious and moral values, and the existence of
time beyond human will is brought to the fore. It also analyzes the fact that time is not subject to the man,
but the man is subject to him, God is the judge of the time, and that the time is subservient to him because
he is in control of everything.

Turkish-Soviet Russia Relations (1919-1922)
Authors: Karakuş Girayalp
Published: August 2023

In this study, the extent to which Turkey-Soviet Russia relations tended to
develop and to tension in the 1919-1922 period and the reasons for these changes were
emphasized. Weapons ammunition, financial aid, and attempts to organize a Soviet-type regime
in Turkey are also discussed. It was a period when the relations between the New Soviet Russia
and Turkey started with the 1917 revolution. However, due to various reasons, Turkey could
not create an atmosphere of complete trust in its relations with Soviet Russia. Therefore, there
was no principle of eternal friendship and eternal enmity, since interest was the primary concept
in relations between States. Developments, such as the biased attitude of Soviet Russia towards
the Armenian issue and the foreign commissioner of Soviet Russia, Chicherin's request Bekir
Sami Bey to leave Van, Bitlis and its environs to the Soviet Russia, created an atmosphere of
distrust between the Ankara Government and the deputies. In the secret session of the
parliament, Hasan Fehmi Bey, the deputy of Gümüşhane, made the following statement that
clearly expressed this issue: "What the tsarist thought? yesterday, the politics of today's Soviet
Russia are also thinking the same thing". However, in this environment of conflicting trust,
Turkey managed to improve its relations with Soviet Russia. There were developments in the
relationship of mutual interest between the two countries.
Integrated Control of Echinochloa oryzoides, Echinochloa crus-galli and Cyperus difformis Based on Pre-Sowing Herbicide and Some Herbicide Combinations in Rice
Authors: KAYA ALTOP Emine , MENNAN Hüsrev
Published: August 2023

Cosmopolitan weeds are even constant elements where rice cultivation started just a century ago. There are few but important weed species with high adaptation in rice, which requires monoculture production systems and aquatic environment. Rotation difficulty resulted in the proliferation of highly competitive weed species strongly adapted to the aquatic environment. Constant use of herbicides with the same mechanisms of action leads to an evaluation of herbicide-resistant weed population and an increased number of herbicide-resistant populations in Türkiye. Chemical weed control and alternative integrated weed management strategies in rice production systems have significantly evolved throughout the years as well as rice herbicide traits and weed spectrum. The study was carried out in rice fields with resistance problems in two different locations, in the Black Sea and the Marmara Regions. The clamozone 480 EC, oxadiazon 200 CS, glyphosate potassium 441 g/l, glyphosate IPA 360 g/lt +carfentrazone-ethyl 5 g/l, cyhalofop-butyl 200 EC, penoxsulam 25.2 OD +bentazon-sodium 480 SL active ingredients and combinations’ efficacy were investigated on ALS and ACCase inhibitor herbicides resistant Cyperus difformis, Echinochloa oryzoides and Echinochloa crus-galli populations. At the end of the study, it was determined that including pre-sowing herbicides such as clomazone and oxadiazon in the weed control program would help control the ALS and ACCase-resistant this species. Implementing integrated weed management strategies for managing existing herbicide-resistant weeds and reducing future development of herbicide resistance is one of our most influential and economical long-term strategies.

Sabuk Nusantara 71 is a Indonesian passenger cargo ship with the Ambon – Tual route which has three generators. As is well known that the main generator of electrical power on a ship is a generator. The installed generator is expected to be able to supply the electric power needs of the ship optimally and efficiently. But in fact, the distribution of the load on the ship is still less than optimal and efficient. This results in excess fuel consumption. The purpose of this research is to find efficient load sharing so that the required fuel consumption is optimal. To achieve this, the research uses several stages. First, calculate the amount of electrical power needed on the ship. Second, look for the magnitude of the electric power load for each operating condition of the ship when leaning, sailing and maneuvering. Third, look for the fuel consumption of ship generators using the dynamic programming method which aims to get efficient generator fuel consumption. The results of this calculation simulation on MV. Nusantara Belt 71 operations with a voyage from Ambon – Tual (round trip) obtained an efficient fuel consumption of 20,724.77 liters by using generator 1 configuration for leaning, and generators 1 and 2 for maneuvering and sailing
