Single-molecule Magnetoluminescence from a Spatially Confined Persistent Diradical Emitter
Authors: Matsuoka Ryota , Kimura Shojiro , Miura Tomoaki , Ikoma Tadaaki , Kusamoto Tetsuro
Published: September 2022

Luminescent radicals are an emerging class of materials that exhibit unique photofunctions not found in closed-shell molecules due to their open-shell electronic structure. Particularly promising are photofunctions in which radical’s spin and luminescence are correlated; for example, when a magnetic field can affect luminescence (i.e., magnetoluminescence, ML). These photofunctions could be useful in the new science of spin photonics. However, previous observations of ML in radicals have been limited to systems in which radicals are randomly doped in host crystals or polymerized through metal complexation. This study shows that a covalently linked luminescent radical dimer (diradical) can exhibit the ML as a single-molecular property. This facilitates detailed elucidation of the requirements for and mechanisms of ML in radicals and can aid the rational design of ML-active radicals based on synthetic chemistry.
Two-dimensional Thermocapillary Fluid Motion in an Open Channel
Authors:   Institute of Computational Modelling SB RAS, Lemeshkova Elena
Published: September 2022

The problem of two-dimensional thermocapillary fluid motion in a flat channel is studied. The temperature in the liquid is distributed according to the quadratic law, which is consistent with the velocity field of the Himentz type. At the bottom of the channel, the temperature depends on the time, which allows you to control the movement inside the layer. The Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations are taken as a mathematical model. The resulting initial - boundary value problem is highly nonlinear and inverse with respect to the pressure gradient along the channel. To solve it, a modified Galerkin method was used, where Legendre polynomials were chosen as the basis functions. The expansion coefficients are functions of time for which a system of nonlinear ODES was obtained. As a result of the application of the Runge-Kutta-Felberg method, a solution was found that, with increasing time, tends to solve a stationary problem if the temperature at the bottom of the channel stabilizes.
Algebras of Binary Isolating Formulas for Tensor Product Theories
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Emel’yanov Dmitry
Published: September 2022

Algebras of distributions of binary isolating and semi-isolating formulae are derived objects for a given theory and reflect binary formula relations between 1-type realizations. These algebras are related to the following natural classification questions: 1) for a given class of theories, determine which algebras correspond to theories from that class, and classify those algebras; 2) classify theories from the class according to the isolating and semi-isolating formulae algebras defined by those theories. The description of a finite algebra of binary isolating formulas unambiguously implies the description of an algebra of binary semi-isolating formulas, which makes it possible to trace the behavior of all binary formula relations of a given theory. The paper describes algebras of binary formulas for tensor products. The Cayley tables are given for the obtained algebras. Based on these tables, theorems are formulated describing all algebras of binary formulae distributions for tensor multiplication theory of regular polygons on an edge. It is shown that they are completely described by two algebras
Hybrid Global Search Algorithm with Genetic Blocks for Solving Hexamatrix Games
Authors:   Matrosov Institute for System Dynamics and Control Theory SB RAS, Orlov Andrei
Published: September 2022

This work addresses the development of a hybrid approach to solving threeperson polymatrix games (hexamatrix games). On the one hand, this approach is based on the reduction of the game to a nonconvex optimization problem and the Global Search Theory proposed by A.S. Strekalovsky for solving nonconvex optimization problems with (d.c.) functions representable as a difference of two convex functions. On the other hand, to increase the efficiency of one of the key stages of the global search — constructing an approximation of the level surface of a convex function that generates the basic nonconvexity in the problem under study — operators of genetic algorithms are used. The results of the first computational experiment are presented.

A caprinocultura leiteira é uma das atividades agropecuárias mais consolidadas na região semiárida brasileira. Apesar de sua importância, existem diversas limitações para o seu desenvolvimento. Dentre os entraves, destaca-se a mastite caprina, doença mundialmente reconhecida como a principal causa de perdas econômicas na caprinocultura leiteira. Além disso, o mais grave é a possível veiculação de patógenos infecciosos multirresistentes por produtos lácteos contaminados. A resistência antimicrobiana é mundialmente tratada como uma das principais ameaças à Saúde Única. Neste contexto, Staphylococcus spp. é considerado um dos principais patógenos, pois é capaz de portar diversos mecanismos de resistência aos antimicrobianos. Por estes motivos, esta revisão aborda os impactos causados pela mastite caprina no Brasil e os mecanismos de resistência aos antimicrobianos de Staphylococcus spp., bem como, os perigos à saúde humana e animal.
TROPSA and TRE31 Gene Knockouts to Prevent the Transmission of Lyme Disease from Tick to Host: A Research Protocol
Authors: Akman Alexandra D.W. , Dorfman Emma R. , Leppinen Sarah A. , Potkins Heather S.
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Ixodes scapularis, the blacklegged tick, is responsible for the transmission of Lyme disease. Rising temperatures and shorter winter seasons, due to climate change, is resulting in the Northward expansion of tick range. This is correlated with the increasing prevalence of Lyme disease in Canada. This research protocol aims to address this issue by genetically mutating the blacklegged tick which is primarily responsible for the transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, in North America. The proposed mutation involves two gene knockouts: TROSPA and TRE31. The blacklegged tick mutant is predicted to be unable to transmit Lyme disease to the white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus.
Methods: Mutated ticks will feed on the blood of Lyme positive mice and later naïve mice. The rate of Lyme disease transmission from mutated ticks will be compared to transmission rates in positive and negative wild type control groups. The statistical significance of the difference between these groups’ transmission rates will be evaluated by Student’s t-test with Fisher’s protected least significant difference test.
Results: Based on the results from literature testing each mutation independently, we predict our I. scapularis mutant, having both TROSPA and TRE31 gene knockouts, will be unable to transmit Lyme disease to the white-footed mouse.
Discussion: Unsuccessful transmission of Lyme disease from mutated ticks indicates that the TROSPA and TRE31 knockouts are effective in preventing B. burgdorferi from completing its lifecycle within the tick. Based on the expected results, the combined gene-knockout model presents a novel method to hinder the transmission of Lyme disease more effectively than previously investigated single gene knockouts.
Conclusion: This research protocol suggests a strategy to decrease the rate of Lyme disease amongst ticks, and thus humans. Future research could explore efficacies of knocking out other genes in combination with TROSPA or TRE31.
The magnitude of regional cooling across Southern Patagonia during the Antarctic Cold Reversal and Younger Dryas determined by glacier modelling
Authors:   , Muir Ruby
Published: September 2022

Determining the magnitude, timing and regional extent of past abrupt climate change events is crucial to resolve the spatial patterns and determine mechanism that drive rapid climate fluctuations. This thesis presents glacier model based quantitative paleotemperature reconstructions from two mountain glaciers in Southern Patagoniathat encompass the Late Glacial (c. 14.6–12.8 ka). Temperature anomalies resolved across a series of closely spaced Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR; c. 14.5-12.9 ka) moraines were -3.0--2.6 °C at 47°S and -2.7--2.4 °C at 44°S. In both locations this was followed by either a precipitation reduction of 15-20 %, or a warming of +0.3°C from the Antarctic Cold Reversal moraines to moraines dated to the Younger Dryas (c. 12.9-11.7 ka). These anomalies show a shared, regional response across this latitude range in Patagonia, that follows the Antarctica temperature record. Further, the anomalies determined are a similar magnitude to glacier model based Antarctic Cold Reversal temperatures in New Zealand across the latitudes of 39-44 °S. This is evidence for a shared trans-Pacific climate response across the mid to high latitudes (47-39 °S) throughout the Late Glacial, that is best explained by a northward expansion of the southern westerly winds during the Antarctic Cold Reversal. These reconstructions were produced using globally available, remote sensing-based glacier datasets, and global reanalysis climate datasets.

The methodology applied presents an efficient paleoclimate reconstruction approach, which could be applied to the growing database of dated glacial moraines to produce a consistent, globally distributed, paleotemperature dataset.
A Hand in Glove Theorem of Dividends and Earnings: Evidence from the Financial Sector of Pakistan
Authors: Islam Kashif , Saeed Zeeshan , Sardar Samina , Khan Imtiaz Ahmed
Published: September 2022

Purpose: The available literature on various sectors to examine the impact of earnings on dividend payments, indicates that still, extensive research lacks in the financial sector of Pakistan. The rationale behind paying higher dividends has been observed in emerging countries like Pakistan to maintain a strong financial footing. This study aims to investigate various factors that can influence dividend payouts. Design/Methodology/Approach: ARDL approach has been used to establish a long-term impact of selected variables on dividend payouts. Data of 50 financial listed firms for 2000-2021 has been used to subsume the impact of earnings-related variables on the dividend payouts of the financial companies of Pakistan. Findings: Results indicate that market capitalization, ROA, EPS, and firm size have a significant and positive impact on dividend decisions, while leverage generates a significant inverse impact on dividend declarations. The study also indicates discretionary accruals (a factor in earnings management under IAS) do not impact dividends significantly. ROE has no impact on the volume of dividends due to the specific nature of the firms under study. Implications/Originality/Value: The study demonstrates a conjecture that the financial sector must maintain its dividends not only to retain its old stakeholders but also to recruit new ones.
Morska przygoda polskich pielgrzymów: relacja i alegoria (Vita maior sancti Stanislai, caput 49)
Authors: Cetwiński Marek
Published: September 2022

This article presents the narrative strategy employed by Wincenty z Kielc (Kielczy) in Vita maior sancti Stanislai, a text written shortly after the canonization of St. Stanisław. Its aim was to strengthen the cult of the Kraków bishop; the tales of miracles performed by the holy martyr were supposed to sound credible. They were also intended to incline readers (listeners) to pious reflection of a more general kind. At the hands oWincenty, a realistic tale of the dangers of a journey by sea undertaken by Piotr, a relative of the hagiographer, is transformed into allegory. The author, well‑versed in Dominican sermonizing, aims to convince readers that in what seem banal events, the „power and greatness of God” are manifested. God works through the mediation of St. Stanisław in what was for contemporary Poles the exotic circumstances of a maritime disaster.
Praga czy Kraków? Rozterki Jadwigi Andegaweńskiej związane z kształceniem litewskich teologów
Authors: Graff Tomasz
Published: September 2022

The author analyzes the sources and accounts of historiography relating to the two‑track actions of Queen Jadwiga Andegaweńska that aimed to open a faculty of theology in Kraków and to reactivate the college founded by Casimir the Great and, at the same time, to found a College for Lithuanians in Prague at the local university. An analysis of the circumstances attendant on the establishment of the Prague foundation in cooperation with the Czech King Vaclav IV suggests that this decision, although noble, was damaging for the idea of a renewal of the university in Kraków. However, Jadwiga’s abandonment of further financing of the Lithuanian College and then the Queen’s death contributed to the implementation of the idea by King Władysław Jagiełło in 1400. The Queen Jadwiga College in Prague was not, however, in practice, in accordance with her intentions, designated for Lithuanians but mainly served Czechs; nonetheless, from Długosz’s time to today, the myth is current of its supposedly considerable influence on the education and Christianization of the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
Seroconversion rate and socio-economic and ethnic risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection in children in a population-based cohort, Germany, June 2020 to February 2021
Authors: Brinkmann Folke , Diebner Hans H , Matenar Chantal , Schlegtendal Anne , Eitner Lynn , Timmesfeld Nina , Maier Christoph , Lücke Thomas
Published: September 2022

Introduction

Socio-economic and ethnic background have been discussed as possible risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infections in children. Improved knowledge could lead to tailored prevention strategies and help improve infection control.

Aim

We aimed to identify risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infections in children in the first and second wave of the pandemic.

Methods

We performed an observational population-based cohort study in children (6 months–18 years) scheduled for legally required preventive examination and their parents in a metropolitan region in Germany. Primary endpoint was the SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion rate during the study period. Risk factors assessed included age, pre-existing medical conditions, socio-economic factors and ethnicity.

Results

We included 2,124 children and their parents. Seroconversion rates among children in all age groups increased 3–4-fold from June 2020 to February 2021. Only 24 of 58 (41%) seropositive children reported symptoms. In 51% of infected children, at least one parent was also SARS-CoV-2-positive. Low level of parental education (OR = 3.13; 95% CI: 0.72–13.69) non-significantly increased the risk of infection. Of the total cohort, 38.5% had a migration background, 9% of Turkish and 5% of Middle Eastern origin, and had the highest risk for SARS-CoV-2 infections (OR = 6.24; 95% CI: 1.38–28.12 and OR = 6.44 (95% CI: 1.14–36.45) after adjustment for other risk factors.

Conclusion

In the second half of 2020, seroprevalence for SARS-CoV-2 in children increased especially in families with lower-socioeconomic status. Culture-sensitive approaches are essential to limit transmission and could serve as a blueprint for vaccination strategies.

We report an emergence and increase in poliovirus type 2 detection via routine wastewater surveillance in three non-overlapping regions in the Jerusalem region, Israel, between April and July 2022. Sequencing showed genetic linkage among isolates and accumulation of mutations over time, with two isolates defined as vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPV). This demonstrates the emergence and potential circulation of type 2 VDPV in a high-income country with high vaccine coverage and underscores the importance of routine wastewater surveillance during the polio eradication.
Contribution of Local Wisdom as a Halal Tourism Attraction: Case Study of Pekalongan City Central Java Indonesia
Authors: Ghofur Abdul , Ismanto Kuat
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the contribution of local wisdom as a halal tourism attraction. This research is carried out with a qualitative research framework. Primary research data is collected by qualitative research methods, namely through observation, interviews, and documentation. Secondary data is obtained through the assessment of articles, books, research reports, documents, and other sources that are valid and support the theme of the research. Observations are carried out in the region and tourist attractions, while interviews are conducted to the Tourism Office and the managers of tourist attractions, communities, and tourists. The collected data is analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of this study show that Pekalongan City has the prospect of becoming a halal tourism destination because it has fulfilled the components of halal tourism (attractions, access, amenities, communication, environment, supporting facilities, and celebration). On the other hand, the attractions and attractions owned by Pekalongan City are interesting and diverse. Pekalongan City has distinctive and unique local wisdom and can be an object and attraction of regional tourism. In addition, it is also supported by community security and creativity activities that support local wisdom as a tourism attraction. Culture, Islamic traditions, and local wisdom in Pekalongan City have not been maximally packaged into tourist attractions. The implication of this study is that the packaging of local wisdom into a tourist attraction will contribute to the development of regional tourism. The abandonment of local wisdom as a regional tourism attraction will negate Indonesia which is rich in cultural diversity as a differentiator with other countries in the field of halal tourism.
A Reflective reading of the general secondary school 2022 results and the indicators of admission to Egyptian universities
Authors:   Faculty of Education, Mansoura University, Egypt, Ghanaiem Mehany
Published: September 2022

High school is an important transitional stage in the life of the student and his family together, as it charts the course of the student's professional life when he graduates from the university or from higher education institutions. Because of the importance of the high school, efforts are exerted by all segments of society, students, parents, teachers, administrators, examination, and control committees, and ... etc. There is no doubt that these efforts are financially and morally costly, especially since the high school system has been unstable in recent years. It often changes with the change of the minister, once the portfolio system, and once the tablet system, and finally the Babylon chit system and perhaps other systems will come in the future. The state has expanded the number of universities with their three types: governmental, private, and private, and this may be in pursuit of future plans and a feasibility study of the needs of the labor markets globally, Arab, and locally, which casts doubts about the feasibility of the unstudied expansion in university education. Hence, the importance of this study appears to reveal the reality of the secondary school result 2022 and the trends and indicators of university admission to university education. In addition to this, the study seeks to answer a broad question. Where is Egyptian university education heading, does it support class, for example? Is it education for the elite and another for the poor? Is it based on a specific philosophy, and what? Is the state gradually abandoning support for education in general and higher education in particular.
Stigma during COVID-19 pandemic: the role of infodemic as a key driver
Authors:   faculty of Education, University of Erfurt, Germany, Moussa Suheir Ali
Published: September 2022

The creation and dissemination of COVID-19 stigma can damage efforts exhibited to prevent and counter the spread of the virus. A basic factor that triggers COVID 19 stigma is infodemic. It seems also that stigma and infodemic in the time of COVID-19 pandemic are interrelated to each other and work together. The new front in the COVID-19 battle should be therefore fighting stigma and infodemic driving it given that their impact can be very detrimental and long-lasting without suitable social measures needed to empower and support the vulnerable populations during such a global pandemic. Based on some selected literature and research conducted during the outbreak period of the coronavirus pandemic, the current article sheds light on this topic by focusing on the following points: 1). Definition of Stigma and relevant terms; 2). Victims of social stigma during the COVID 19 Pandemic; 3). Consequences of COVID 19-related Stigma; 4). Infodemic as a key driver of COVID 19-related Stigma; 5). Guidelines to fight stigma and infodemic during COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: September 2022

The study aims to identify the reality of practicing and applying differentiated learning for gifted students through adopting the following: a survey descriptive approach in which a set of qualitative instruments such as interviewing a gifted student, a quantitative instrument, a questionnaire for teachers of the gifted, an observation instrument and the document analysis instrument to check what female teachers present with regard to professional practice of differentiated learning in gifted classes. From the perspective of the gifted student, practicing differentiated learning in gifted classes was not as expected. Contrary to that, teachers’ responses, according to the questionnaire, showed that they did. The use of the observation instrument was to perceive the practice from another perspective. The study concluded that practicing differentiated learning by teachers was lacking, as they continued to use traditional methods of teaching. To ensure teachers’ understanding of the concept of differentiated learning, the document analysis instrument was used. It was clear that the professional training offered by the school and training office was relatively good, but the real practice didn’t cope with its quality.
Teachers’ training schemes and their preparation for secondary vocational education Practices and concerns in Greece
Authors:   School of Pedagogical and Technological Education, Greece, Tzortzi Spyridoula , Papakitsos Evangelos ,   University of West Attica
Published: September 2022

The analysis conducted in this paper provides useful insights about training of vocational and technical teachers, both in terms of the theoretical framework surrounding the concept and how it’s applied in Europe in general and Greece in specific. Taking the analysis of technical teachers’ training into account, as well as its basic concepts and characteristics, it is clear that the central aim of the concept is to combine the need for teachers to acquire the necessary professional skills to practice their profession and be consistent with labour market and industrial standards at the same time. In order for these objectives to be achieved, vocational and technical teachers need to be subject to professionalization, which shall accompany throughout the whole duration of their professional career. These needs are summarized in that teachers must be characterized by discipline, acquisition of certain academic knowledge, and their combination with pedagogical studies. The case study of ASPETE’s training program for vocational and technical teachers was very indicative of what these teachers actually need, in order to effectively practice their profession. Essentially, training programs must focus on the changing roles and tasks for vocational and technical teachers in modern years, as well as combine academic courses with real-life practice, so that prospective teachers are exposed to real teaching activities, long before they officially start building their professional career.

Published: September 2022

Seismo-electric phenomena gained more attention from geophysicists over the last decade.The development of theoretical background and the success of laboratory experimentsas well as limited field applications give a lot of opportunities and hope as a meansfor providing exploration and production data. Seismo-electric effect accommodates anyphenomena which links seismic and electrical energy including seismic to electric conversionas well as electro kinetic in origin.Experiment has been conducted to prove that free ions can be considered to accumulateinside a granite crack containing crude oil which in turn can generate stream oscillatoryelectric current when a seismic wave hit the fracture. As a result, electric potential canbe detected at the mouth of the fracture which intersects the borehole. The environmentalnature of the mouth which is full of fluid facilitates the detection of high resolution seismoelectricsignal by simple electrodes which is made of metal.

The Permian to Triassic Tirrawarra Sandstone succession in the Cooper Basin of CentralAustralia is characterized by its low permeability. Ambient core porosity averages8.96% and ambient permeability 0.9 mD. Most samples studied have permeabilities lessthan 3mD. Despite its overall poor reservoir characteristics, the Tirrawarra Sandstone isone of the major oil and gas targets in Australia. A total of 17 core plugs from 6 wellswere studied petrographically using optical petrography, SEM and XRD. These resultswere integrated with core analysis data.Petrographic study revealed the diagenetic events, mainly mechanical and chemicalcompaction, cementation and alteration have modified the reservoir quality. Ductile componentssuch as rock fragments, clay and matrix influence mechanical compaction, whichare the main cause of reservoir quality reduction. Quartz cementation and clay distributionalso affected the porosity, but particularly permeability. Mechanical compaction aswell as quartz cementation have reduced and blocked pore-throats to isolate intergranularpores. The alteration of feldspar to kaolin has changed intergranular porosity tomicroporosity. Illite occurs as either cement, alteration of rock fragments or kaolinite. Allof these diagenetic events also affect fluid movement in the reservoir.This paper presents the evaluation of the determination of effectiveness of porosity inthe delivery of gas from sandstone reservoir in the Cooper Basin using integrated petrographyanalysis and core measurements.

Authors: BÜKEY Abdullah Miraç
Published: September 2022

Gelir dağılımındaki eşitsizlikle mücadelede önemli stratejilerden biri, emek faktörünün gelirini artırmaya yönelik ücret politikalarıdır. Zira ücret, milli gelirde en büyük paya sahip faktör geliridir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, Türkiye’de ücret politikalarının gelir dağılımı eşitsizliğini nasıl etkilediği irdelenmektedir. ARDL Sınır Testi Yaklaşımı ile analiz edilen ekonometrik modelin bağımlı değişkeni gelir dağılımını temsilen Gini katsayısı, bağımsız değişkenleri ise özel sektör ücretlerini temsilen özel bir havayolu şirketinin ortalama ücretleri ve asgari ücrettir. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre asgari ücretteki %1’lik bir artış Gini katsayısını %0.061 oranında azaltmakta; özel sektör ücretlerindeki %1’lik bir artış ise Gini katsayısını %0.051 oranında artırmaktadır. Bu sonuç asgari ücret politikalarının eşitsizliği azaltmada önemli rol oynadığını; özel sektör ücret artışlarının ise eşitsizliği artırdığını ima etmektedir. Ayrıca nedensellik analizine göre bu ilişki kısa dönemde de geçerlidir.

Bu çalışmada, kadınların güçlendirilmesinin onların ekonomik, sosyal, politik ve dışsal iletişim-sosyal ağı üzerinde nasıl bir etkiye sahip olduğunu incelemenin yanı sıra evli kadın girişimcilerin aile yaşamları üzerinde güçlendirmenin yarattığı etkiyi ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Veriler, 15 Ocak-15 Eylül 2019 tarihleri arasında anket tekniğiyle toplanmıştır. 421 katılımcı anketi yanıtlamıştır. Çalışmada, korelasyon, regresyon ve ki-kare analizleri ile uygulanmıştır. Analiz bulgularına göre; kadınların güçlendirilmesi, onların ekonomik, sosyal, politik ve dışsal iletişim-sosyal ağı üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif bir etkiye sahiptir. Bununla birlikte evli kadınların iş yaşamında güçlendirilmesinin, evlilikleri üzerinde olumsuz etki oluşturduğu ulaşılan diğer önemli bir bulgudur. Bu bulgu, medeni durumun aile içi yaşanılan sorunlar üzerinde etkili bir unsur olduğunu göstermektedir. Kadının toplumsal yaşamda güçlendirilmesi üzerine yapılmış birçok çalışma olmakla birlikte, iş yaşamında kadın güçlendirilmesi üzerine yapılan çalışmaların sınırlı olması, evli kadın girişimcilerin aile içi yaşadıkları sorunlar ve aile yaşamı üzerinde güçlendirmenin etkisini inceleyen çalışmaların ulusal yazında yeterli olmaması bu çalışmanın yapılmasındaki itici güç olmuştur. Ayrıca, kadının girişimcilerin güçlendirilmesinin farklı perspektifler temelinde ele alınması bu çalışmanın özgün değerini ortaya koymaktadır.

Finansal piyasalarda oluşan yüksek oynaklık ve bulaşma etkisi paniği yatırımcıların risklerini artırmaktadır. Böylece yatırımcılar artan riskten korunmak için portföylerinde yer alabilecek alternatif enstrümanları düşünmeye başlamış ve bu noktada kıymetli madenler güvenli liman olarak görülmeye başlanmıştır. Kıymetli madenlerin diğer finansal varlıklar ve piyasalarla olan ilişkisi önemli olduğu kadar birbirleriyle olan ilişkisi de oldukça önemli ve araştırılması gereken bir konudur. Bu amaçla kıymetli madenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi Garman-Klass (1980) range-based realized volatilite serileri kullanılarak Hacker ve Hatemi-J Boostrap (2006) Nedensellik testinin yanı sıra asimetrik ilişkilerin de görülebilmesi için Hatemi-J (2012) Asimetrik Nedensellik testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda değişkenler arasında çeşitli nedensellik ilişkileri bulunmuştur. Ulaşılan en önemli sonuç ise altının gümüşle sınırlı bir ilişkisinin bulunduğu ve platin, paladyumla herhangi bir nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmadığı için altının oluşturulacak portföylerde daha fazla bulundurulabileceği ve halen yatırım aracı olarak güvenli liman olma özelliğini koruduğudur.

Analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgular, söz konusu değişkenlerin uzun dönemde birlikte hareket eden bir yapıda olduğunu göstermiştir. Uzun dönem katsayılarının tespiti amacıyla yararlanılan DOLSMG tahmincisine ait sonuçlara göre, kişi başına GSYİH ve kişi başına enerji tüketiminde meydana gelen artışların ilgili ülke grubundaki CO₂ emisyonunu arttırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca emisyon miktarı artışı üzerindeki etkisi en fazla olan değişkenin enerji tüketimi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, özellikle Meksika ve Türkiye’deki kişi başına enerji tüketiminin grup ortalamasının üzerinde seyretmesi dikkat çekmektedir. Bununla birlikte ticari dışa açıklık düzeyinin artması halinde düşük bir etki katsayısına sahip olunsa da emisyon düzeyinin azaldığı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, özellikle enerji kullanımına ilişkin verimlilik düzeyinin arttırılması, emisyon miktarının azaltılmasına yönelik dış ticaret politikalarının desteklenmesi ve ekonomik büyüme hedeflerinde yüksek karbon kullanan teknolojilerin azaltılması gerektiğine işaret etmektedir.

Bu çalışmada karabuğday, kinoa ve amarant 2 farklı yöntemle (spontan ve maya kullanılarak) fermente edilmiş ve hazırlanan hamurlar, mısır nişastası ile pirinç unu kombinasyonunu içeren glutensiz ekmek formülasyonunda farklı oranlarda (%0, 15, 30 ve 45) kullanılmıştır. Fermente edilmiş pseudo-tahılların, glutensiz ekmeklerin fiziksel ve tekstürel özellikleri üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Karabuğday fermente hamuru içeren ekmeklerde kabuk ve iç parlaklık (L*) değeri, kinoa ve amarant katkılı ekmeklerden daha düşük bulunmuştur. Formülasyonda pseudo-tahıl fermente hamuru (PFH) oranının artması ekmeklerde kabuk parlaklık değerinin azalmasına, kırmızılık (a*) değerinin ise artmasına neden olmuştur. Ekmeklerde en yüksek hacim değeri kinoa katkılı örneklerde belirlenmiştir. Maya kullanılarak fermente edilen pseudo-tahılları içeren ekmeklerde, spontan fermentasyona kıyasla daha yüksek hacim, spesifik hacim ve daha düşük sertlik değerleri elde edilmiştir. Artan PFH oranı ile 2. 24. 48. ve 72. saat sertlik değerleri önemli artış göstermiştir (p<0.05). Karabuğday katkılı ekmekler 72. saatte en yüksek ekmek içi sertlik değerini verirken, en düşük sertlik değeri ise kinoa içeren ekmeklerde belirlenmiştir.

The current work aimed to determine the effects of antioxidant and physicochemical properties of sumac fruits on its antimicrobial activity. Samples collected from Mardin and Diyarbakır provinces which are located in Turkey’s Southeastern Anatolia were used and the results were compared among each other. Samples taken from Diyarbakır and Mardin were analysed separately, and they exhibited high antioxidant activities. Analyzes were performed on the aqueous extracts of the collected samples. The highest rate in the determination of total phenolic substance content by the Folin-Ciocalteu method was observed in the first sample collected from Diyarbakır Çermik and this value was recorded as 82.2 mg gallic acid g-1 sumac. The highest total flavonoid content (7.55 mg catechin g-1 sumac) and inhibition value (75.7 % DPPH) were also observed in the same sample. On the other hand, the sample obtained from Bismil, showed a strong antimicrobial effect by affecting the highest zone area among the six samples which also had a 72.3% DPPH inhibition value and 54.6 (mg gallic acid g-1 sumac) total phenolic content value. It has been observed that the antimicrobial effect is directly proportional to the antioxidative values.

Social Network Analysis of Indonesia Migrant Workers in Hong Kong: Study Social Integration Between Health Care and “KOTKIHO”
Authors: Angreni Dyah Kuntorini Dwi
Published: September 2022

In the research, the relationship between the social networks of migrant domestic workers from Indonesia in Hong Kong and the accessibility of medical care and legal protection is investigated. To help others and support the struggle of BMI organizations and groups in Hong Kong, the Coalition of Indonesian Labor Organizations in Hong Kong (KOTKIHO) was founded out of concern and solidarity.. Similarly, participant observations from formal and informal activities were used in this research, which also drew on field notes. In order to control risk and gain access to resources for their health and well-being, KOTKIHO strategically use their strong and weak ties, deciding within their social network who and what to discuss with reference to medical issues. For characterizing and assessing the continuous dynamic social integration process, researchers suggest using social network analysis. Their employers, who can also provide them with access to institutional and social resources, are carefully negotiated with regarding their rights and opportunities. Participate in online discussions and debates regarding the health policies of their native and host nations. To better comprehend the complexity and intricacy of social integration, social network analysis must be done using a mixed-methods approach due to its limitations as a relatively new tool in the field of social integration research. It also demonstrates the establishment, activation, and mobilization of migrant social networks around discourses on state-designed immigration-related health policy
THE ALIGNMENT OF THE OMANI EFL READING CURRICULUM WITH THE COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH: LEARNER'S AND TEACHER'S ROLE ANALYSIS
Authors: Al Azri Rashid Hamed
Published: September 2022

This paper aims to investigate the alignment of the Omani English language curriculum with the communicative approach as indicated by the instructional approaches reflected in the Omani EFL reading curriculum for the second language (L2) reading. The alignment is examined by determining the types of Learner roles reflected in the Omani EFL Grade Twelfth reading curriculum and the types of teacher roles reflected in the Omani EFL Grade Twelfth reading curriculum. Two main questions arise here. Which are "What types of learner roles are implemented in the Omani EFL Grade Twelfth reading curriculum?" another question is "What types of teacher roles are reflected in the Omani EFL Grade Twelfth reading curriculum?" This data was gathered by analyzing the reading task statements extracted from the Engage with English (EWE) Curriculum Specifications Document, the Engage with English textbook, and classroom observations in selected schools. Then the researcher adopted the method analysis in Richards & Rodgers and Sidek's model. The most important result is that the analysis of the first question shows that most of the reading-related activities in EFL reading curriculum documents were planned as individual tasks (69.9%) more than as pair/group tasks (30.0%). Moreover, in terms of the pattern of the teacher role, the reading-related statements in the EFL teachers' book (68.6% and 76.6%, respectively) were planned to be moderate and director in nature. In comparison (34.2% and 23.4%), the reading-related statements in the EFL teachers' book were designed to be a catalyst.

Published: September 2022

Modular construction sites are often reported as one of the most hazardous workplaces where the complex environments can lead to near misses and life-threatening collisions. To avoid contact collisions and provide a safe workplace, forecasting workers' trajectories on dynamic construction sites is demanding yet remains challenging. Existing approaches for trajectory prediction are mostly limited to only considering the objects moving information. In this paper, an environment-aware distance worker trajectory prediction model is designed to fully exploit the contextual information on construction sites. Incorporating the interactions among workers and distances between workers and static elements into the prediction model, the proposed approach offers a reliable prediction of worker positions. To further exploit the contextual cues, an environment-aware direction scheme taking directional information of the static elements into account is put forth. Extensive numerical tests on synthetic as well as modular construction datasets showcase the improved prediction performance of the proposed approaches in comparison to several state-of-the-art alternatives.

Although much attention has been paid to the safety risk of construction sites and ergonomic risk assessment of workers, the automation of ergonomic risk assessment has not been significantly developed. This article presents a non-intrusive, automated ergonomic risk assessment approach based on computer vision, machine learning, and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). The method is called Computer-Vison Based Rapid Entire Body Analysis Estimation (CVRE). This approach is expected to realize automated monitoring and early-stage warning of ergonomic risks by automating the procedure of calculating REBA scores for construction site workers. This method consists of machine learning-based key joints and joint angles estimation of human bodies and computer-vision-based automated risk estimation. With the extensive development of machine learning and computer vision, researchers have been paying attention to assessing ergonomic risks with machine learning techniques. The proposed method has been further validated using the experimental data obtained by a motion capture system.
