Устойчивость искусственного интеллекта: взгляд урбаниста сквозь призму концепции умного и устойчивого города*
Authors: Иджитканлар Тан , Кугурульо Федерико
Published: November 2022

Во всем мире быстро растет популярность искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) и его применение, под которым подразумевается технология, имитирующая поведение, обычно ассоциируемое с человеческим интеллектом. Сегодня системы на основе ИИ используются в самых разных областях — от маркетинга до банковского дела и финансов, от сельского хозяйства до здравоохранения и безопасности, от исследований космоса до робототехники и транспорта, от чат-ботов до машиностроения и машинного творчества. В последнее время системы на основе ИИ также начинают становиться неотъемлемой частью многих городских служб. Городской искусственный интеллект управляет транспортными системами городов, ресторанами и магазинами, где на повседневном уровне разворачивается городская жизнь, ремонтирует городскую инфраструктуру и управляет сферами городского хозяйства, такими как дорожное движение, мониторинг качества воздуха, вывоз мусора и энергетика. Ожидается, что в наступившую эпоху неопределенности и сложности все более широкое внедрение ИИ продолжится, а значит, будет расти и его влияние на устойчивость развития наших городов. В данной работе устойчивость ИИ критически исследуется и проблематизируется в контексте умных и устойчивых городов. Авторы предлагают ряд соображений касательно появившихся недавно городских искусственных интеллектов и потенциального симбиоза между ИИ и умным и устойчивым урбанизмом. С точки зрения методологии статья представляет собой обзор текущего состояния литературы, исследований, разработок, тенденций и приложений, связанных с ИИ и умным и устойчивым городом. Таким образом, она является вкладом в актуальные академические дискуссии вокруг умных и устойчивых городов и ИИ. Кроме того, проливая свет на распространение ИИ в городах, данная статья призвана помочь городским политикам, градостроителям и гражданам принимать информированные решения о внедрении ИИ, ориентированного на устойчивое развитие.
Цифровые технологии репутации в городской повседневности: между капитализмом платформ и государственным социальным рейтингом*
Authors: Космарский Артем , Картавцев Владимир
Published: November 2022

Статья посвящена сравнительному анализу двух наиболее значимых на данный момент (на переходе от 2010­х к 2020­м годам) подходов к выстраиванию того, что можно назвать цифровыми технологиями репутации. Первый подход, реализуемый в странах Европы и Северной Америки, опирается на рейтинги и иные системы учета репутаций, операторами которых выступают проприетарные платформы. IT­технологии и платформы сделали из репутации — как чего­то неуловимого, но доступного и разделяемого всеми членами формальной или неформальной группы — исчисляемую и прозрачную метрику, доступную любому пользователю. Второй подход, реализуемый прежде всего в Китайской Народной Республике, предполагает относительно централизованный, государственный контроль над формированием и оцениванием репутаций — но так же с помощью больших данных (так называемая система социального рейтинга). Однако в китайской модели управления государство не столько приказывает и распоряжается, производя тысячи законов и указов, сколько регулирует сети и взаимодействия людей и технических артефактов. Особое внимание в статье будет уделено тому, как рейтинги и репутация, функционирующие онлайн, проявляются вовне и влияют на физическое взаимодействие агентов в городе. Наконец, в заключение мы пытаемся понять, какие институциональные формы примет противодействие новым формам контроля.
Большой город
Authors: Риттер Иоахим
Published: November 2022

Классическая работа Иоахима Риттера «Большой город» посвящена критическому анализу философско-теоретической позиции, основанной на отрицании городской цивилизации. Работа была написана, в частности, в контексте возрастающей популярности идей Мартина Хайдеггера, пронизанных — на всех этапах его творчества — культур-критикой городской цивилизации. Неприятие или «донос» на город и его цивилизационные достижения — отличительная особенность философии Фридриха Ницше, Освальда Шпенглера и многих других популярных также и в настоящее время авторов. Этой теоретической тенденции, развившейся и окрепшей в ходе становления общества модерна, Риттер противопоставляет другую философскую линию, связанную с Сократом и его «обращением к городу». Систематическую разработку она получает в философии Аристотеля, определившего человека в качестве «полисного животного». Лишь в контексте полисной цивилизации человек способен стать тем, кем он может быть — разумным и свободным существом. Эта греческая модель полиса, «ограниченная бесчеловечностью рабства», универсализируется и приобретает характер всеобщей в рамках общества модерна, возникшего в Европе, но давно перешагнувшего ее пределы. Возникновение цивилизации и общества модерна, являющегося урбанизированным обществом, является, согласно Риттеру, результатом фундаментальной дисконтинуальности по отношению к прошлому и истории своего происхождения (Herkunft).

Authors: Антонов Александр
Published: November 2022

Интервью посвящено переменам, произошедшим в сфере планирования в России за последние десятилетия, а также устройству этой сферы. Обсуждаются исторические особенности территориального планирования в России и господство в нем экономических мотивов над пространственными. Освещается законодательная сторона планирования, в частности особенности устройства и работы генеральных планов и возможные альтернативы. В заключение доказывается, что проблемы реалистичности генплана и сохранения стратегических целей в череде вносимых в него изменений требуют привлечения «третьей силы», помимо планировщиков или заказчика, — граждан и общественных структур.
Правовое зонирование. Обзор американского опыта в контексте трансформации российской системы градорегулирования
Authors: Бабейкин Роман
Published: November 2022

Статья посвящена изучению американского опыта правового зонирования с целью критического осмысления перспектив его применения в России. Исследование проведено в формате обзора существующих теоретических и эмпирических зарубежных исследований, основанных на анализе данных об американских городах. В обзор включены наиболее цитируемые американские тематические публикации, отобранные по заранее прописанному алгоритму в рамках подхода structured qualitative literature review (SQLR). Рассмотрение отобранных исследований свидетельствует о широте инструментария правового зонирования в США, а также о наличии взаимосвязи между ним и особенностями экономического уклада в стране. Сравнение истории становления правового зонирования в США и России позволяет сделать выводы о разнонаправленной динамике развития института в этих странах. Выводы статьи актуальны для ситуации в России, где в условиях наличия законодательной основы для развития института местные практики регулирования землепользования и застройки остаются в большинстве своем малоэффективными.
La paradoxalité de la reconnaissance de l’expérience de coercition reproductive : une analyse qualitative
Authors: Bujold Audrey , Lévesque Sylvie
Published: November 2022

La coercition reproductive fait référence aux comportements de contrôle et de force infligés afin d'orienter la trajectoire reproductive des femmes. Les conséquences inhérentes sont multiples : grossesses inopportunes, recours accentué aux contraceptifs d’urgence et avortements, dépression.... Malgré ces effets importants, les femmes qui en sont victimes éprouvent souvent de la difficulté à reconnaitre leur expérience comme telle, ce qui contribue à limiter leur recherche de soutien. À travers la théorie du parcours de vie, cette analyse qualitative réalisée auprès de 13 femmes ayant vécu de la coercition reproductive présente comment la reconnaissance d'une telle expérience se déploie à l'intersection de diverses trajectoires de vie. Nos résultats suggèrent que le processus de reconnaissance est intrinsèquement paradoxal, et revêt un caractère à la fois subjectif, intersubjectif, sociohistorique et évolutif. Contrastant nos résultats avec la reconnaissance honnéthienne, des pistes critiques sont formulées en ce qui concerne notamment le déficit de ressources herméneutiques.
Post-operative management of inflammation after orthopaedic surgeries using trypsin, bromelain and rutoside combination: a single-centre prospective observational study
Authors: Sisodia Yogesh , Dharangutti Ramprasad , Khemnar Bhushan M. , John James , Vishwakarma Deepakkumar T.
Published: November 2022

Background: Post-operative management of inflammation plays an important role in orthopaedic surgeries, as delay in wound healing may lead to extended hospital stay. Proteases like trypsin and bromelain combined with the bioflavonoid rutoside are often used to reduce post-operative pain and swelling. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral administration of a fixed dose combination of trypsin-bromelain-rutoside in the post-operative management after orthopaedic surgeries.

Methods: The study was a prospective, observational data collection exercise. Hundred subjects undergoing orthopaedic surgeries, who were administered trypsin-bromelain-rutoside combination, were observed over a period of 8 days post-surgery. Verbal rating scales were used for grading the pain intensity and extent of swelling, while a 5-point Likert scale was used to evaluate patient- and investigator-reported global assessment of improvement in pain and swelling. Scores at day 3 and day 8 were analysed using paired t test.

Results: At day 3 and day 8, the mean scores of pain and swelling were significantly reduced from baseline (all p<0.0001). By day 8, 74% of the patients achieved complete resolution of pain, while 50% reported complete resolution of swelling. By day 8, 54% patients reported excellent/ very good global improvement in pain and swelling, while the investigator reported excellent/ very good global improvement in 81% of the patients. No adverse event was reported in any of the patients.

Conclusions: The combination of trypsin-bromelain-rutoside was safe and effective in reducing the post-operative pain and swelling after orthopaedic surgeries. An 8-day treatment led to complete resolution of pain in three-fourths of the patients and complete resolution of swelling in half the patients. The use of this combination has the potential to reduce hospital stay and pill burden.
Serviceability analysis for human-induced vertical vibration on pedestrian structures
Authors: Gómez Daniel , Villamizar Sandra , Ortiz Albert
Published: November 2022

Civil engineering structures such as grandstands, slabs, footbridges and staircases have reported unacceptable vertical vibration when they are affected by human activities. Even when most of these structures are designed according to current guidelines and design codes, there are still misunderstandings in the human-structure interaction effects that, in some cases, may increase the vibration response compromising the structural serviceability performance. As a result, the serviceability load conditions due to pedestrian activities control, in most cases, the design for these structures. Therefore, a systematic overview regarding vertical pedestrian-structure interaction is carried out to demonstrate the need for a realistic analysis to properly incorporate these effects toward more rational structural designs. The discussion establishes a body of knowledge regarding pedestrian loads and structural responses, yielding the potential for more rational approaches to improving the analysis and design of pedestrian structures.

Published: November 2022

Fe-based BMGs are well known for its attractive combination of structural, magnetic and corrosion properties. These alloys are widely used in industry because of low price and good glass forming ability (GFA). In this paper, the effect of partial substitution of Cr with Co on GFA, mechanical and magnetic properties of Fe48Mo14Cr15-xCoxB6P8Si7Y2 bulk metallic glasses was studied. The samples were prepared by copper mold casting technique in rod form. The elaborated alloys were structurally investigated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), while the mechanical properties were investigated by compressive and nanoindentation tests. Also, the magnetic properties were investigated. The GFA was estimated by several criterion or parameters (reduced transition temperature Trg, ΔTx, α, β, γ and δ parameters). It was found that the addition of Co instead of Cr leads to a slight increase of the glass forming ability of Fe-Mo-Cr-B-P-Si-Y family. Also, an increase in magnetic properties, hardness, elastic modulus and compressive strength has been noted.

Modelling of hybrid Cuk converters using the methodology of voltage and current references
Authors: Muñoz-Galeano Nicolás , López-Lezama Jesús María , Cano-Quintero Juan Bernardo
Published: November 2022

This paper presents a methodology for obtaining the voltage and current references that permits the modelling of Hybrid Cuk (HC) Converters. The passive sign convention when system elements absorb energy is used to derive the differential equations governing the behaviour of the converter. This allows the explanation of the operation principle of the converter that is performed through the switching states. The behavior of the converter is studied by means of an energy interchange analysis between inductors and capacitors. After the deduction of the references and operating principle, the differential equations (DEs) that allow the modelling of the converter are deduced. Finally, a comparison between the mathematical model and the circuital representation of the converter is performed in OpenModelica for validation purposes. The simulations’ results allow to conclude that the obtained references and differential equations are coherent with the circuital implementation.

Published: November 2022

The aesthetic zone presents a dilemma for prosthetic rehabilitation. Prosthetic restoration of significant alveolar bone loss in the aesthetic zone is often challenging. The Andrews Bridge fixed removable system can be used in such cases as it combines the benefits of a Fixed Partial Denture (FPD) with the aesthetics of a Removable Partial Denture (RPD) to restore lost teeth and gingiva while addressing the aesthetic challenge of significant alveolar bone loss. It reduces the denture bulk and provides good retention and patient comfort. There is no need for palatal or lingual flange covering, as in a regular RPD.

Authors: BAB Yonca , KUTLU Akif
Published: November 2022

This study demonstrates a mixed finite element formulation procedure for the bending and stress analyses of laminated composite beams. The finite element method is based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle, while the beam assumptions are based on the Higher Order Shear Deformation Theory (HSDT). Reddy’s shear function is employed for the beam theory where the beam is discretized by two-noded linear elements. The displacements and stress resultants are obtained directly at the nodes according to the proposed mixed formulation. The validation of current study is performed by comparison and convergence analyzes for various lamination cases under different boundary conditions.

Authors: Mannapova Guzel , Akmalova Guzel' , Gimraniva Irina , Chuykin Sergey , Chernyshova Nina , Yepishova Anna , Kozmenko Anastasia , Makerova Natalia
Published: November 2022

A special place in the pathogenesis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis is occupied by the state of local immunity, which can affect the clinical course and prognosis of chronic diseases of the oral mucosa. The inflammatory process in recurrent aphthous stomatitis is initiated by stimulation of keratinocytes of the oral mucosa by a currently unknown antigen, which leads to stimulation of T-lymphocytes and the release of cytokines and various interleukins.
Cytokines are the main nonspecific humoral factor of immunity, providing the initiation and development of an inflammatory response during the development of a protective immune response. A huge number of works are devoted to the study of cytokine status in recurrent aphthous stomatitis, which plays one of the key roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. However, most of the studies were conducted in patients over the age of 18, in addition, the results obtained are contradictory. This determined the purpose of this study – to assess the cytokine status of oral fluid in children with recurrent aphthous stomatitis. The study examined 70 children who were divided into 2 groups. The main group consisted of 45 children aged 7 to 14 years, patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis, during the relapse of the disease. The main group was divided into 2 subgroups: A – 20 children with the duration of recurrent aphthous stomatitis up to 5 years, group B – 25 children with the duration of recurrent aphthous stomatitis more than 5 years. All patients in the main group had concomitant diseases, in most cases, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The control group consisted of 25 practically healthy children without recurrent aphthous stomatitis. In children with recurrent aphthous stomatitis in the oral fluid, a significant increase in the concentration of the anti-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and a decrease in the concentration of IL-10, an imbalance in the level of IL-2 depending on the duration of the disease, as evidenced by a pronounced inflammatory process of the oral mucosa with epithelial destruction.

Impact of Social Deprivation on Hospitalization and Intensive Care Unit Admission among COVID-19 Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Zhu Yang-Jie , Tang Kang , Zhao Fang-Jie , Yu Bo-Yang , Liu Tong-Tong , Zhang Lu-Lu
Published: November 2022

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disproportionately affected socially disadvantaged groups; however, the association between socioeconomic status and healthcare utilization among COVID-19 patients remains unclear. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association between socioeconomic status and hospitalization and intensive care unit admission among COVID-19 patients.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials were searched for relevant literature (updated to Jun 2022). Studies that investigated the association of social deprivation with hospitalization and intensive care unit admission in COVID-19 patients were included. The primary outcomes included risk of hospitalization and intensive care unit admission, measured by odds ratio.
Results: Eleven studies covering 2,423,095 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Socially disadvantaged patients had higher odds of hospitalization in comparison to socially advantaged patients (odds ratio 1.25, 95% confidence interval: 1.14 to 1.38; P<0.01). The odds of intensive care unit admission among more deprived patients was not significantly different from that of less deprived patients (odds ratio 1.03, 95% confidence interval: 0.78 to 1.35; P=0.85). These findings were proven robust through subgroup and sensitivity analyses.
Conclusion: Socially disadvantaged populations have higher odds of hospitalization if they become infected with COVID-19. More effective medical support and interventions for these vulnerable populations are required to reduce inequity in healthcare utilization and alleviate the burden on healthcare systems.

Published: November 2022

Background: The majority of the Khmer ethnic people living in the Mekong Delta had a difficult socio-economic life and limited access to information and health services. The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and risk factors in men and women of the Khmer ethnic people, in Vietnam.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1.800 Khmer people aged 25 – 64 yr living in Tra Vinh Province in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression.
Results: The prevalence of dyslipidemia was high in men (47.3%) and in women (51.4%). Men had a higher prevalence of high TG (28.9% vs. 23.9%), whereas the prevalence of high TC (34.1% vs. 42.4%), and high LDL-C (28.2% vs. 37.9%) were lower in women, (all P<0.05). In men, dyslipidemia was significantly associated with central obesity (OR=2.58, 95% CI=1.32-5.06), overweight/ obesity (OR=2.50, 95% CI=1.75-3.56), and diabetes (OR=2.15, 95% CI=1.22-3.78). In women, dyslipidemia was significantly associated with diabetes (OR=2.14, 95% CI=1.08-4.24), central obesity (OR=1.69, 95% CI=1.18-2.42), overweight/ obesity (OR=1.50, 95% CI=1.06-2.10), and hypertension (OR=1.43, 95% CI=1.03-1.99). Age was significantly associated with increased risk of dyslipidemia in both genders.
Conclusion: Overall, the prevalence of dyslipidemia among Khmer men and women adults aged 25 - 64 years in Vietnam was high. Our findings indicated an urgent need to have dyslipidemia prevention intervention programs for the Khmer ethnic people in the Mekong Delta, especially training about obesity and increasing healthy lifestyles.

İlahiyat Fakültelerinde Din ve Modernleşme -Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi Örneği-
Authors: ERDİÇ Şaban
Published: November 2022

Modernite, üzerine oturduğu ilkeler bağlamında çok genel olarak bireylerin toplumla ilişkisini ya keskin bir bireyselleşmeyi teşvik etmek ya da taşıdığı pek çok riskten dolayı bireysel özgürlükleri çelişkili bir şekilde yeni bağıntılara teslim etmek yönünde iki türlü etkilemiştir. Modernleşme sürecinde din bu sosyal değişmelerden sadece geleneksel ve gündelik kalıpları bağlamında değil; kamusal alana karşılık gelen boyutları yönüyle de önemli şekilde etkilenmiştir. Bu çalışma Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi örnekleminde örgütlü ve resmî bir din alanı olarak ilahiyat fakültelerinde din ve modernleşme ilişkisini incelemiştir. Araştırmanın amacı bugün ilahiyat fakültelerindeki modernleşmenin bireysel kimliğe bakan yönlerini din ve dünya tasarımları, çoğulculuk, yaşam tarzlarına bakış, toplumsal cinsiyetle ilgili tavırlar, tüketim gibi kimi kavramlar üzerinden anlamak ve açıklamaktır. Bu hedefler doğrultusunda makalede katılımcıların modernleşmeye bağlı tutum ve davranışları ile kitabi İslam’ın din teorisi, politik sekülarizm, küreselleşme, sosyoekonomik ve kültürel çevreleri arasında ne tür ilişkiler olduğu problematize edilmiştir. Nitel bir yöntem dâhilinde araştırma bir tekil olay incelemesi olarak planlanmıştır. Yarı-yapılandırılmış mülakat soruları yardımıyla farklı sınıflardaki erkek ve kız öğrencilerden oluşan bir örneklem gruptan sorun merkezli görüşme, anlatı, katılımlı gözlem gibi tekniklerle elde edilen veriler kuramsal olarak etkileşimci, etnometodolojik ve fenomenolojik perspektiflerden çözümlenmiştir.

Telearbeit, Homeoffice oder mobiles Arbeiten? Impulse zur Zukunft der Arbeit von zuhause
Authors: Backhaus Nils
Published: November 2022

Die Verbreitung der Arbeit von zuhause hat als Infektions- und Arbeitsschutzmaßnahme während der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie einen sprunghaften Anstieg erlebt. Der Beitrag grenzt verschiedene Arbeitsformen der Arbeit von zuhause ab und sichtet die aktuelle Literatur. Auf Basis der Daten der repräsentativen Betriebsbefragung „Betriebe in der Covid-19-Krise“ mit etwa 2.000 deutschen Unternehmen werden die Verbreitung der Arbeit von zuhause im Verlauf der Pandemie, Einsatz als Infektionsschutzmaßnahme, die Bewertung der Arbeit von zuhause und der Blick auf die Zeit nach der Pandemie skizziert. Es wird deutlich, dass die Arbeit von zuhause insbesondere in großen Betrieben auch nach der Pandemie eine wichtige Rolle spielen wird. Abschließend werden die Herausforderungen einer „multilokalen“ bzw. „hybriden Arbeitswelt“ für Betriebe und Beschäftigte umrissen.

Published: November 2022

O artigo tem como objetivo discutir criticamente o cenário atual da Arquivologia brasileira, visando perceber como a área está se afastando da sua vertente social e cultural para atender prioritariamente às demandas primárias da administração. Outrossim, pretende-se ainda, problematizar o papel do Estado na consolidação do esquecimento nos arquivos brasileiros. Para atingir tal finalidade, o procedimento metodológico foi a análise bibliográfica e documental. Conclui-se que é urgente a necessidade de ampliar o conhecimento do arquivista em direção a conceber a função social de sua profissão para que os arquivos apresentem documentos que possam ser relevantes para a preservação da memória coletiva.
The Blockade of Bank Account by the Use of Stir – Danger or Protection for Taxpayers in the Light of Sac’s Decisions
Authors: Witczak Radosław
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the article/hypothesis. The purpose of the paper is the evaluation of using STIR to blockade the bank account by tax administration. The research hypothesis is as follows: The blockade of the bank account by the use of STIR is abused by tax administration.
Methodology. The descriptive study including critical attitude to legal acts and literature was used as well as the case studies of SAC’s decisions were applied as scientific methods.
Results of the research. Tax frauds in VAT are an important problem of security of taxpayers. One instrument to combat them is the blockade of bank account by the use of STIR. Tax authorities very seldom use the blockade of bank account by the use of STIR. The analysis of SAC’s decisions shows that tax authorities do not abuse this instrument. The blockade of bank account by the use of STIR decreases tax frauds and increases the security of taxpayers.

La hernie diaphragmatique congénitale (HDC) est une embryopathie congénitale qui se définit par l’absence de développement de tout ou d’une partie d’une coupole diaphragmatique. C’est une pathologie rare de par le monde et trop peu documentée en Afrique. Sa fréquence dans le monde n’est pas bien connue. Sa présentation peut être précoce ou tardive. La HDC de révélation tardive représente 5 à 30% de l’ensemble des HDC. Compte tenu de la complexité de ses manifestations, les errances diagnostiques sont nombreuses et retardent la prise en charge. De ce fait, il faut toujours la suspecter devant ne détresse respiratoire et une imagerie évocatrice chez un nourrisson. La radiographie pulmonaire contribue au diagnostic. Le pronostic dépend essentiellement des malformations associées. Nous rapportons la première observation au Tchad d’un cas d’une HDC de découverte tardive. Il s’agissait d’un nourrisson de 6 mois opéré avec des suites opératoires simples. Nous discutons les difficultés diagnostiques et thérapeutiques avec la revue de la littérature.

The general objective of this study, which focuses on the geological modelling of sandstone formations and petrophysical characterization of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Termit basin, is to build a geological model to visualize the geometry of reservoir formations. Its specific objectives are: (1) determine the extension of promising reservoir formations, (2) establish models of petrophysical parameters (porosity, permeability and saturation). The methodology implemented is based on the integration of lithological data and petrographic parameters from the logs into the Petrel software. The interpretation of the results obtained on geological modelling shows; geometry and extension of reservoir formations in the form of sand lenses of varying thickness from one prospect to another. Petrophysical parameter models including porosity and permeability models have made it possible to understand the vertical distribution of the different reservoir units.

Mathematical models are essential for integrating different processes that control rates of soil carbon dynamics and for assessing carbon sequestration and the related climate benefits. Many models have been proposed in the literature, with no overall consensus on the best model that can provide relevant insights at a large range of scales and for multiple questions. This chapter reviews general groups of models with their expected ranges of application. It also reviews recent advances in using models of any level of detail to compute carbon sequestration, and the climate benefit of carbon sequestration. Using agricultural soils from Sweden and Hawai'i as examples, the chapter shows that new carbon inputs to the soil do not remain for long timescales, and only small proportions are stabilized. Although soils are a promising reservoir to store carbon, long timescales are required to store amounts of carbon of relevance to mitigate climate change.

There is a need to develop new strategies to maintain and increase food production on degraded agricultural soils while decreasing the environmental impact of agricultural production. These strategies can be based on the concept of soil as a ‘natural bioreactor”, including modulation of Al/Fe complexes and the microbial carbon pump. Utilization of organic residues in agriculture provides one solution. This chapter shows that transformation of these residues through composting, co-composting and/or thermal treatment can produce a new generation of innovative fertilizers able to foster SOC sequestration as well as improve plant nutrient use and reduce environmental impacts.

Authors: ÖZDEMİR Şule , ARAS Neriman
Published: November 2022

This study was conducted to investigate internalized stigma and related factors in patients applying to psychiatry outpatient clinics. The descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted with 187 patients. In the survey included in the study, socio-demographic data, data on previous clinical/disease and Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) Scale were used. It was determined that 16.6% of the patients were hospitalized due to mental illness and 10.7% of them were dismissed due to mental disorders. The total mean score of the participants in ISMI was found to be 56.2±11.3. The scale total score of the patients whose education level was university or higher was found to be lower than the other groups (P = 0.012). The mean scores of the patients with children were significantly lower than those without children (P = 0.012) and the patients living in the village compared to the patients living in the city center (P = 0.002). The total ISMI score was found to be higher in patients who were previously hospitalized due to mental illness and patients who were dismissed due to mental disorders (P = 0.016, P = 0.006, respectively). It was determined that there was a positive and low-level significant relationship between disease duration and ISMI total score (r= 0.152; P = 0.038). Educational status, place of residence, hospitalization due to mental illness, dismissal status due to mental disorders and duration of illness were determined as variables affecting the level of internalized stigma in individuals with mental disorders.

Published: November 2022

Amaç: Araştırma genç erişkinlerde çocukluk çağı travmaları, yalnızlık ve öfke ifade tarzları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma modeli betimsel ve ilişkisel tiptir. Çalışma grubunu Haliç Üniversitesi’nde 2019-2020 Eğitim-öğretim döneminde öğrenim görmekte olan, araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılan 370 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada Sosyo-Demografik Bilgi Formu, Çocukluk Çağı Travmaları Ölçeği, UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği ve Öfke İfade Tarzı Ölçeği veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmada genç erişkinlerin %64,9’unun kadın, %72,4’ünün 20 yaş, %24,9’unun aile içinde kayıp yaşadığı ve %84.9’unun bebeklik/çocukluk dönemi bakımını ailesinin üstlendiği belirlenmiştir. Genç erişkinlerin çocukluk çağı travma toplam puanı (x ̅=40.65; ss=11.42), öfke ifade tarzı toplam puanı (x ̅=76,29; ss=14,77) ve yalnızlık puanı (x ̅=35.89; ss=9.43) olarak tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda, genç erişkinlerin çocukluk çağı travmalarının yalnızlık ve öfke ifade tarzları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı düzeyde ilişki saptanmıştır. Artan çocukluk çağı travmaları ve öfke dışa vurumu olarak saldırganlık içeren davranışlar bu konuyla ilgili olan araştırmaların arttırılmasının önemini göstermektedir. Araştırmanın sonuçları psikoloji bilimine katkı sağlayacak ve ileride yapılacak benzer çalışmalara yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.
