Studies of Molecular Dynamics and Electronic Structure in Cubic-SiC by Using Density Functional Tight Binding Approach
Authors: R.M.A. Khalil  , Hussain Fayyaz , Ahmad Niaz Niaz
Published: June 2022

The radiation damage in Silicon-Carbide and its result are presented in this research. The Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB) approach is used to perform molecular dynamics simulations to implement the DFTB+ code (Elstner et al., 1998). This methodology shows the making and breaking of chemical bonding as well as describes the realistic total energy for the larger systems. Repulsive potentials have been developed to prevent the atoms to stay close to each other during the model of high energy collisions also correctly describe the configurations during the atomic separation within the typical range. The extent and nature of damages are characterized within the collision event up to 10KeV. The band structure of SiC has been studied using minimal basis (sp) as applied in DFTB+. The value of band gap shows that cubic SiC is a large band gap semiconductor material. This value is comparable with the given in literature. Density of states is also calculated by using the tight binding approach. The peaks of spectrum have been compared with the experimental values found in literature.

A Bitter Pill
Authors: Van Schinkel Margot
Published: June 2022

Residue was found in two cylindrical apothecary jars with similar inscriptions in the Rijksmuseum’s collection. There is a considerable difference in the age of these jars: the majolica albarello was made in Italy in the early sixteenth century, whereas the albarello made of tin-glazed earthenware was made in Delft more than two centuries later. Their inscriptions (JERA PIGRA and EL/ HIRAE PICRAE respectively) refer to the pharmaceutical preparation ‘hiera picra’ (Holy Bitter). The history of this medicine, which was said to give supernatural powers, goes back more than two thousand years. The main ingredient of this preparation was aloe Socotrina, which gave it its bitter taste. The research included the technique, shape, inscriptions, use and contents of these objects. Samples were taken from the residues found in both objects in order to determine the chemical composition. This was achieved using gas chromatographymass spectrometry (THM-GCMS) in combination with pyrolysis. A link to hiera picra could not be established, but the research provided a great deal of information about the background of both objects.

Published: June 2022

During the restoration of two highly accredited tapestries (2013-21) from the Rijksmuseum collection, Niobe’s Pride (BK-1954-69-A) and Alexander and Jaddua (BK-1961-52), we discovered an interesting phenomenon that warranted further investigation. It concerns retouches that are not the result of restorations but, because of the colour and placement, are reminiscent of the work of afzetters.The tapestries were woven in the early seventeenth century in the workshops of François Spiering and Karel van Mander II in Delft, and are part of the Tapisserye van Diana set and the series showing the life of Alexander the Great respectively. In collaboration with the Cultural Agency of the Netherlands (RCE) (chemical) research was conducted into the nature of the materials used for afzetten and the dyes were analysed. Three tapestries, from the National Trust Collections (UK) and Museum Prinsenhof Delft, which form part of the series, were also involved in the research. In this article we examine the history of the development of afzetten, and the resulting regulations that Charles V established in 1544 in his Ordinances. This is followed by the presentation of the first research results regarding the positions and nature of the retouches, and the extent to which Charles V’s rules were followed.
From Wallpaper to Moving Panorama

Published: June 2022

During the preparations for the Rijksmuseum depot’s move to its new location, Collectie Centrum Nederland (CCNL) in 2018, a hand-painted scenic landscape on paper that is 2,309 centimetres long and 180 centimetres high came to light. Together with five broadly similar, but shorter pieces, the group of objects was briefly described on a museum inventory card in 1962 as six rolls of wallpaper. After extensive research and conservation, it now appears that four of these are in fact fragments of a moving panorama. More specifically, they have been identified as surviving parts of what was known as the Reuzen-Cyclorama (Giant Cyclorama) or Cyclorama Reichardt, named after its German owner, Ferdinand Reichardt (b. 1813). This particular moving panorama, originally measuring an astounding one and a half kilometres, was an extraordinary phenomenon that is documented as having travelled through the Netherlands, Belgium and Great Britain between 1853 and 1855. It was shown to the public, rolled between two wooden poles and accompanied by music or storytelling, in order to give people an experience of travelling the regions of Tyrol, Switzerland and Italy. The article will follow the interdisciplinary quest undertaken by curators and conservators that led to the compelling new understanding of the purpose of these long-forgotten lengthy paper landscapes in the Rijksmuseum’s collection.

Published: June 2022

Molecular docking has been widely employed as a fast and inexpensive technique in past decades, both in academic and industrial setting. Although this discipline has now had enough time to consolidate, many aspects remain challenging and there is still not a straightforward and accurate route to readily pinpoint true ligands among a set of molecules, nor to identify with precision the correct ligand conformation within the binding pocket of a given target molecule. Nevertheless, new approaches continue to be developed and the volume of published works grows at a rapid pace. That’s why this review is focused on docking. This review presents the overview of the method and attempt to highlight recent developments regarding four main aspects of molecular docking approaches: (i) the available benchmarking sets, highlighting their advantages and caveats, (ii) the advances in consensus methods, (iii) recent algorithms and applications using fragment-based approaches, and (iv) the use of machine learning algorithms in molecular docking. These recent developments incrementally contribute to an increase in accuracy and are expected, given time, and together with advances in computing power and hardware capability, to eventually accomplish the full potential of this area.

Published: June 2022

Nickel oxide (NiO) material had been reported as one interesting candidate for transparent conductive oxides (TCO) applications, given their specific properties. In this work, we have synthesized un-doped nickel oxide (NiO) thin films by using the spray pyrolysis method deposited on heated glass substrates at 500°C. The effect of the Nickel source on the optical and electrical properties of the prepared films had been reported. We have used two sources of nickel: nickel nitrate (Ni (NO3)2.6H2O) and nickel Chloride (NiCl2.6H2O). The characterization techniques such as UV–visible spectroscopy and the two-point probe technique were used to investigate the prepared NiO thin films. The optical analyses show that all the samples exhibit averaged optical transparency between 52% and 61% in the visible region. The evalueted optical gap- the energy of the NiO thin films between 3.59 and 3.84eV with the change of nickel source. Refractive index and extinction coefficient values were decreased with a variation of nickel source. From Electrical measurement, it was observed that the minimum resistivity of the NiO films are 0.106 Ω from films prepared with nickel nitrate source.

Published: June 2022

The share of the insurance sector in Turkey is gradually increasing and gaining importance. One of the alternative systems to the traditional insurance is the participation insurance, whose attention is constantly increasing both in the world and in
Turkey. The concept of Islamic insurance and/or participation insurance has started to become widespread in the sector, particularly in recent years, similar to participation banking. One of the main reasons for this is the sensitivity and demand of individuals towards interest-free products. Participation or Takaful insurance is the focus of the study. Although the participation insurance practices have a history of more than 40 years in the world, it is relatively new in the Turkish insurance
sector. However, it is obvious that participation insurance will show great improvement in Turkey in the future. In the study, Iranian, Pakistani, Saudi Arabian, Takaful and Turkish models, which are insurance business models within the framework of Islamic Law, are mentioned. The most used Takaful model in the research is Hybrid and the country with the highest premium production in participation insurance business is Saudi Arabia, which implements the cooperative model. At the end of this study, various suggestions were made for the further development of participation insurance.

Published: June 2022

At the end of 2019, the world met a new type of coronavirus and faced a serious pandemic caused by this virus. In many areas of daily life, especially in health, it has been attempted to combat the effects of the pandemic in question. About 500 million people worldwide have been infected with the virus, and about 7 million of them have died. The heavy disease process and the number of infected people negatively affected the health system of the countries. Individuals expected to receive the best service from hospitals during the epidemic period. Of course, the monetary dimension of this service has also reached serious figures. This situation brings us private health insurance as an alternative exit door. The public or additional private health insurance that the individual has makes him/her feel somewhat comfortable. Especially with private health insurance or supplementary health insurance, policyholders feel more secure in such difficult situations. After COVID-19 was seen as the first case in our country on March 10, 2020, diagnosis and treatment services were carried out by public hospitals. Later, private hospitals were declared as pandemic hospitals by the Ministry of Health and started to provide diagnosis and treatment services. Especially in cases where the treatment takes a long time and requires intensive care, the serious financial burden has created a problem for insurance companies and the insured. In this context, this study is aimed to investigate individuals’ perspectives on insurance and private health insurance in Covid-19 times. Data were collected and statistically analyzed through the questionnaire prepared within the scope of the study.
EFFECT OF COVID 19 PANDEMICS ON INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN TURKEY: EVIDENCE FROM BIST INSURANCE INDEX
Authors: KAYHAN Selim
Published: June 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected both human and economic life since the first half of 2020, has significantly affected the insurance sector as well as many sectors in the economy. The impact of this change on the insurance industry has
not yet been clarified. In the limited literature, there are claims that this situation may have different consequences on the insurance sector in the short and long term. For this reason, this study measures the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the insurance industry.
In this study, which investigated whether the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the insurance sector cause different results in the short and long term, it was determined that there exists an asymmetric linkage running from COVID-19 pandemic to the performance of the insurance sector. On the other hand, an increase in the number of cases would not affect the insurance sector neither positive nor negative. Furthermore, findings demonstrate that the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant effects only in the short and medium term by using advanced causality analysis methods.

Authors: Özarslan Saliha , Atelge M. Raşit , Ünalan Sebahattin , Akansu S. Orhan
Published: June 2022

This research is about the disposal and evaluation of mucilage, which threatens human health, marine ecosystem, social life and economy. For this purpose, the idea of providing benefits by creating an alternative to meet the energy need, which is one of the world's priority problems, has been adopted. It has been determined that mucilage can be used in the production of biogas, which is a popular energy type in recent times, in line with its structural properties and content. Biogas, which has the potential to be an alternative to fossil fuels thanks to its numerous advantages, is a versatile renewable energy source that can be used in many different areas. In this study, the biogas production potential of mucilage was investigated theoretically with two different methods. One of the methods is to calculate the methane yield based on the protein, lipid and carbohydrate content of the organic matter. In the other method, according to the results of elemental analysis, the methane yield was calculated using the stoichiometric equation. According to the analysis and calculations, the theoretical methane yield of the mucilage was found to be 528.68 mL CH4/g VS according to the organic matter content and 526.15 mL CH4/g VS according to the elemental content. Theoretical calculation of the methane yield before the experimental study saves material and time. In this direction, it has been concluded that the biogas production potential of the mucilage is high and suitable for experimental work, since the methane yield values calculated using different methods are high and close to each other. It is believed that this study, which investigates the disposal of mucilage, which is a harmful formation, and its usability in the production of biogas, which is an efficient energy type, makes a multi-faceted contribution to the literature for humanity
Claude Ziad El-A Proposed Algorithm for Detecting Invisible Celestial Objects by Generalizing the Planck’s Blackbody Radiation Law
Authors: El-Bayeh Claude Ziad
Published: June 2022

Blackbody radiation was proposed by Planck to measure the temperature of a body by observing its electromagnetic waves spectrum. However, when it comes to massive objects such as stars, other factors can affect the emitted wavelength of the light from the body, such as gravitational field and doppler effect, which are caused not only by the star but also by the observer (i.e., Earth). Hence, predicting the surface temperature of a star by using only its radiation might not be accurate especially for massive stars. To solve the problem, and to give more accuracy to the measurement, this paper proposes an algorithm and a modification of the Plank’s blackbody radiation theory by considering the impact of relativistic Doppler effect and the gravitational field of both, the emitter (i.e., star), and the receiver (i.e., Earth). For validation purposes, the proposed modification theory is compared to the original one proposed by Planck using four different case studies, (a) sun is considered as an emitter and the earth as the receiver; (b) a massive star is considered as an emitter and the earth as a receiver; (c) the earth is considered as an emitter and a massive star as a receiver; finally (d) two identical stars are considered as emitter and receiver, respectively. Results show that our proposed method works perfectly and gives more accurate results compared to the traditional Plank’s theory since the impact of gravitational field and Doppler effect on the spectrum are considered.

Authors: Opoku-Fofie Isaac , Nadarajah Devika , Yasin Ida Md
Published: June 2022

Although the importance of continuous improvement and innovation as an antecedent of supply chain management practices (SCMPs) has been recognized, how it affects the operational performance in the Ghana cocoa industry remains unclear. This paper aims to establish the mediating effect of supply chain integration on the relationship between continuous improvement and innovation and operational performance in Ghana's cocoa supply chain. This conceptual paper recommends an inclusive model that incorporates continuous improvement and innovation, supply chain integration as well as operational performance, underpinned by resourced based view theory. The proposed model is to establish the direct and indirect effects of continuous improvement and innovation as an antecedent of supply chain management practices on operational performance through the influence of supply chain integration in the cocoa context, leading to improvement in the business operational performance. This study will contribute to the literature by empirically examining the interface between continuous improvement and innovation, supply chain integration and operational performance, with supply chain integration serving as a predictive variable.

Resultados: Participaram 28,5% dos serviços ambulatoriais de endoscopia gastrointestinal da cidade estudada. Existem Núcleos de Segurança do Paciente, que atuam segundo Planos de Segurança do Paciente, mas sem profissional com dedicação exclusiva. Apenas um serviço monitora pacientes após a endoscopia, fato que dificulta a identificação dos efeitos adversos após procedimentos nessas organizações. Existem protocolos básicos de segurança do paciente na maioria dos serviços. A incidência total de efeitos adversos é 0,3%; e 0,8% para a endoscopia digestiva alta e colonoscopias. Bacteremias, dor abdominal, sangramento e perfuração intestinal são os danos mais frequentes. Todos os serviços possuem boa estrutura organofuncional para a realização dos processos de limpeza e desinfecção dos endoscópios. Conclusão: Os serviços possuem Núcleos de Segurança do Paciente, e implementam protocolos de segurança recomendados. Os efeitos adversos identificados estão em consonância com a literatura; entretanto, esses dados podem estar subnotificados, uma vez que esses serviços não dispõem de um sistema ativo de vigilância de eventos adversos após exames endoscópicos.

Tribal narrative in the Syrian political universe
Authors: Kuznetsov V. A.
Published: June 2022

The following article deals with the problem of formation and functioning of tribal narratives in the political universe of Syria. The author shows how tribe narrative is structured in the form of epic narration within the framework of which different political events acquire a special logic and vested with new connotations. The tribe which comprehends political relations through the prism of this narrative, structures its communication with forces external relative to it, the state included, in a special way. The accomplished research is based both on open sources and on materials of the author’s interviews with the representatives of Hsana tribe, which he took in summer and autumn 2021. The results of the research, as it seems, could be useful for studying the general problems of tribalism and relations of tribes and state in the Middle East.
