The role of the G7 in mobilizing for a global recovery
Authors: Liao Cynthia , Beal Theo
Published: June 2022

The Build Back Better World (B3W) partnership was launched at the June 2021 G7 Leaders’ Summit. The partnership was aimed at mobilizing an international response to immediate and long-term challenges such as the global infrastructure gap, economic recovery post-COVID-19 and the need to counter China’s economic and political influence in the developing economies. Despite a promising set of initial commitments, B3W and other related development initiatives so far have failed to match that ambition. In this paper, the authors detail the three main new initiatives announced since the 2021 summit – the US-led B3W; the EU’s Global Gateway; and the UK’s revamped development policy – and measure progress and action against promises and pledges. They also outline current global challenges that threaten to undermine G7 development policy – including changing priorities among donor countries, amid events in Ukraine and concerns about inflation – before recommending actions to achieve the ‘better world’ the G7 envisaged in June 2021. The paper is the first publication in a year-long, high-level project that aims to provide vital context for the G7’s efforts to assist governments and societies in the Global South, as they confront long-term development challenges in the context of climate change and other international crises.

Published: June 2022

Personal finance and investments are closely related to people’s lives. Most investors focus on return rates than on risks. However, when the market changes considerably or unexpectedly, investors may incur losses. Employees in the electronics industry are a middle- to high-income group. However, their work may prevent them from acquiring financial knowledge and factors affecting investments. This group should also understand methods of reducing risks in investments and avoiding losses. This study examines employees in the electronics industry in Taiwan and uses the theory of planed behavior to investigate the effects of demographic variables and intention to manage personal finances and invest on investment behavior. A total of 600 questionnaires were distributed, and 469 were returned. Among the 469 questionnaires, 41 were incomplete and invalid and thus disregarded, posting a response rate and valid response rate of 78.16% and 71.33%, respectively. SPSS 20 and structural equation modeling were used for analysis. The results demonstrate that financial attitude has a significant and positive effect on financial knowledge and subjective norms, that subjective norms have a significant and positive effect on perceived financial control, and that financial knowledge has a significant and positive effect on financial behavioral intention. However, subjective norms and perceived financial control do not significantly affect financial knowledge. The results suggest that individuals should reduce risks in their personal finances and investments. Potential directions for further research are also provided.

Published: June 2022

Plastic utilisation and plastic waste accumulation is rising in recent times mostly in developing countries. The utilization of modified and unmodified Nigerian bentonite clay as catalyst for preparation of fuel-ranged hydrocarbons from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sachet wastes by pyrolysis was investigated. Pyrolysis of LDPE was done using locally fabricated semi-batch reactor condenser column. The products were characterized using Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatograph with a flame ionisation detector (GC-FID). Physicochemical properties of the products were determined using standard analytical methods. The products from non-catalysed contained mostly saturated hydrocarbons compared to that of the catalytic process which contained more branched-chain hydrocarbons and mono-substituted aromatics. Physicochemical properties of the product from non-catalytic process showed resemblance to those of kerosene and diesel fuel while the properties of products from catalytic pyrolysis closely approximates those of commercial gasoline. This implies that the catalytic process gave products that were more suitable as fuels for auto engine which require higher octane number based on their naphthenic and aromatic content.

Authors:   Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, Federal University Oye Ekiti, Nigeria
Published: June 2022

Evaluation of genetic divergence among species of crop is crucial for selection process in plant breeding and for developing new and enhanced varieties with desirable characteristics. This research was done to study the genetic divergence in 10 accessions of Amaranthus hybridus so as to determine highly genetically divergent parents for high yielding hybrid. Ten accessions of Amaranthus hybridus were planted in plastic buckets with three replications. Data were recorded on nine quantitative traits and analyzed using principal component analysis and Mahanalobis D2 statistics, within and between cluster distances were calculated following the formular by Singh and Chaudhary. The analysis of variance indicated highly significant (P ˂ 0.01) variability among the 10 accessions of Amaranthus hybridus for the characters evaluated. The principal component analysis recorded 86.21% of the total variation among the 10 Amaranth accessions. The intra-cluster distances were zero in all the clusters which showed that there was no difference among the accessions within the clusters. The maximum inter-cluster distance of 97.95 was observed among accessions of clusters II and IV while minimum inter-cluster (32.05) was found between clusters III and IV. The accessions of cluster III had the highest desirable cluster mean for plant height, number of leaves and number of nodes. The accessions of cluster IV had the longest leaf length, petiole length, inflorescent height and number of seeds. Selection of accessions from divergent clusters and using them in hybridization programme could produce desirable hybrids and may lead to improvement of Amaranthus hybridus for yield and quality traits.

Published: June 2022

The paper gives an overview of chemical changes during heat treatment of wood and their influence on environment. Wood is one of the most used building materials because of its physical and technological properties. Various procedures improve its properties, and due to its environmental acceptability, heat treatment of wood is one of the most commonly used. Heat treatment causes changes in the cell walls and degradation of the main components of the wood structure (cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin) and extractives. Hemicelluloses, as the most unstable components, are broken down first, followed by cellulose and finally lignin. Degradation results in a change in chemical composition and chemical reactions of colour change causing a technological problem because wood processing tends to make the colour as uniform as possible. The uniformity of colour and the desired colour tone are obtained by the process of steaming and thermal modification. The processing temperature is the most important factor that causes all the changes. Due to its wide use, need has arisen to investigate the ecological consequences of such a heat treatment process, as well as the impact of harmful substances and types of compounds released during the process and their toxicity.

Authors: Haciefendioglu Kemal , Başaga Hasan Basri , Bulut Mehmet Ceyhun , Kartal Murat Emre
Published: June 2022

Wood has a long history of being used as a valuable resource when it comes to building materials. Due to various external factors, in particular the weather, wood is liable to progressive damage over time, which negatively impacts the endurance of wooden structures. Damage assessment is key in understanding, as well as in effectively mitigating, problems that wooden structures are likely to face. The use of a classification system, via deep learning, can potentially reduce the probability of damage in engineering projects reliant on wood. The present study employed a transfer learning technique, to achieve greater accuracy, and instead of training a model from scratch, to determine the likelihood of risks to wooden structures prior to project commencement. Pretrained MobileNet_V2, Inception_V3, and ResNet_V2_50 models were used to customize and initialize weights. A separate set of images, not shown to the trained model, was used to examine the robustness of the models. The three models were compared in their abilities to assess the possibilities and types of damage. Results revealed that all three models achieve performance rates of similar reliability. However, when considering the loss ratios in regard to efficiency, it became apparent that the multi-layered MobileNet_V2 classifier stood out as the most effective of the pre-trained deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models.

Authors: Sivrikaya Hüseyin , Can Ahmet
Published: June 2022

Chemical modification as a non-biocidal treatment is an effective method to improve physical and biological properties of wood. Poplar is a fast growing species but has poor dimensional stability and durability in addition to low mechanical properties. Low molecular weight Dimethylol dihydroxyethyleneurea (mDMDHEU) was used to improve the properties of poplar mainly dimensional stability and decay resistance. Results indicated high anti-swelling efficiency (ASE), but low variation between both concentrations of mDMDHEU. Tangential swelling was greatly reduced by mDMDHEU treatment during the water immersion period. Untreated poplar samples were severely decayed as compared to modified samples. Modified samples showed lower bending strength unlike to compression strength. Ester peak at 1720 cm-1 revealed chemical reaction between chemical reagent and wood cell wall components. Control samples exhibited considerably higher thermal degradation when compared to the samples modified with mDMDHEU.

Authors: Supphipat Phatchareporn , Chinokul Sumalee
Published: June 2022

The objectives of this study were 1) to develop the English content-based reading materials for Buddhist student monks, 2) to explore quality of the English content-based reading materials by examining the attitude of student monks, and 3) to explore quality of the English content-based reading materials by examining the attitude of teachers.  The study was conducted in 6 stages starting from the identification of needs to create materials to the evaluation of the effectiveness of the developed materials. The participants of 42 student monks and 3 English teachers were selected from the Education Department of Wat Phra Dhammakaya in academic year 2017. Instruments used were semi-structured interview, needs analysis questionnaires, and evaluation questionnaires. The qualitative data was analyzed by the content analysis. The statistics used to analyze the quantitative data were frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The findings revealed that the English content-based reading materials for Buddhist monks were effectively developed by using the materials development framework of Tomlinson (2011), embedded with Six-T’s approach of Stoller and Grabe (2017), and the quality was the academic and physical aspects and the effectiveness in enhancing reading comprehension. In terms of the quality of academic and physical aspects, student monks had a positive attitude towards 6 criteria including: content, organization of content, presentation of content, language use, activities applied, and layout and design, and teachers had a positive attitude towards 7 criteria, 6 of which were exactly the same as those of student monks plus the criterion of the teachers’ manual. This study clearly demonstrates theoretical processes of developing instructional materials of good quality and could be used as an example to illustrate the connection between developing instructional materials andEnglish language learning research for teachers, materials developers, and researchers in the field.

Frispel: Lika delar glädje och dåligt undertryckt vrede. Reflektioner kring att genusprofilera historieutbildning på universitetsnivå
Authors: Douglas Christina
Published: June 2022

I den här texten kommer jag att reflektera över vad som kanske bäst kan benämnas som en genushistorikers himmel och helvete. Jag vill berätta om de vedermödor jag upplevde då vi vid historieämnet på Södertörns högskola för några år sedan bestämde oss för att genusprofilera grundkurserna i ämnet historia. Men jag vill också berätta om den oerhörda glädje det är att under- visa i just genushistoria. Det bör dock sägas att detta är min historia och mina reflektioner kring hur genusprofileringen av historias A- och B-kurser gick till samt hur jag tänker kring genushistoria, både som inriktning och som under- visningsämne. Jag har försökt att där det är möjligt underbygga min skildring med bland annat protokoll. Andra inblandade kan ha upplevt händelserna annorlunda, men detta är som sagt min historia sett ur mitt perspektiv.

Published: June 2022

As the other papers in this series have described, the ASPIRE (Achieving Safe and
Personalised maternity care In Response to Epidemics) COVID-19 research study was
awarded UKRI-ESRC funding in June 2020, with the aim of finding out how maternity and
neonatal services could be safe and personalised during the COVID-19 pandemic (and in
future crises). The research midwives who have reported their experiences to
date1,2,3,4,5 were involved in the study in the earlier stages of the pandemic, from
November 2020 until April 2021. This final paper in the series documents the experiences
of RC, TC, AM and HH as research midwives (RC, AM, HH) and as a research nurse (TC) in
two of the three Trusts that came on board later in the process, and for which data were
collected during the period from August to October 2021. Our observations therefore
capture how it felt to be undertaking a study that included interviewing managers,
service users and staff at a time when staffing shortages were at their most acute, and
when restrictions were complex and difficult to plan for.
The Impact of the Pregnancy Sickness Support Training Package on the Knowledge and
Attitudes of Student Midwives Towards Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Protocol for a Small,
Evaluative Research Project
Authors: Dean Caitlin , Kitson-Reynolds Ellen , Knight Gillian
Published: June 2022

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition causing severe nausea and vomiting in
pregnancy. Patients with hyperemesis gravidarum report that caregivers dismiss their
illness, and lack understanding and compassion towards them. Midwifery theoretical
education plays a key role in preparing future midwives for practice. It is proposed
that the Pregnancy Sickness Support charity’s training session on hyperemesis gravidarum
be assessed as to its impacts on the knowledge and attitudes of student midwives. The
results of the research will provide evidence for the use of the training session in
university undergraduate midwifery education.
Optimising Medical Births 4. Positive Caesarean Births
Authors: Willis Angela
Published: June 2022

In the UK, one in every three to four births is now a caesarean birth. More women
and birthing people are choosing maternally requested caesarean births. This is for a
number of reasons including increased knowledge of birth modes, fear of vaginal
childbirth, the societal perception of birth in the media, previous trauma, and concerns
with medicalisation or induction of labour, which is also on the rise with 30–40% of
women choosing a vaginal birth having their labour medically induced. Whilst midwives
have always been the supporters of physiological birth, we need to support all women and
birthing people to have a safe and positive birth being ‘with woman’.

BAŞLANGICIDAN GÜNÜMÜZE İKLİM HAREKETİ: SORUNLAR, SINIRLAR VE FIRSATLAR
Authors: KESGİN Burak
Published: June 2022

Bu makalede küresel iklim hareketinin öyküsü, başlangıcından günümüze kadar dört dönem çerçevesinde ele alınmış, hareketin mevcut durumu ve geleceği son dönemde öne çıkmış yeni aktörlere odaklanılarak incelenmiştir. Greta Thunberg öncülüğündeki gençlik aktivizmi, Yokoluş İsyanı ve Gündoğumu Hareketi bu yeni aktörlere örnek olarak seçilmiştir. Makalede, bu yeni aktörlerin katılımı sayesinde hareketin başarı şansını eskiye göre anlamlı biçimde arttırıp artırmadığı sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır. Yeni aktörlerin harekete olumlu katkıları reddedilemez, ancak bu aktörler, hareketin önemli bir değişim gerçekleştirmek konusunda eskiden beri sahip olduğu zorlukların üstesinden gelmek için bir paradigma değişikliği yaratmadıkları gibi bazı görüşlerin aksine bu yeni dalga 1960'ların veya 70'lerin büyük toplumsal hareketleriyle kıyaslanabilecek yaygın bir toplumsal seferberlik yaratma potansiyeline de sahip değildir. İklim hareketi yeni aktörlerle kayda değer bir ivme yakalamış olsa da eskiden olduğu gibi bugün de taleplerinin karşılanması noktasında halen başarıya yakın değildir. Öte yandan hareketin başarısı, yalnızca aktörlerin sayısı veya politika üzerindeki etkileri değil, yarattıkları rezonans açısından da değerlendirilebilir. İklim hareketinin yeni dalgası başlangıçta bu şekilde güçlü bir kamusal yankı uyandırmışsa da artık limitlerine ulaşmış, pandeminin etkileri, yinelenen dahili sorunlar ile birleşerek bu dalganın seferber edici kapasitesinin tükenmeye başlamasına neden olmuştur. Hareketin toplumsal tabanını genişletmek için ikna etmenin rasyonel (ve duygusal) temeli olarak iklim bilimine olan münhasır güvenini yeniden değerlendirmesi, anlatılarını potansiyel katılımcıların sosyal ve ekonomik gerçeklerine doğru genişletmesi gerekmektedir.

Effects of Data Enrichment with Image Transformations on the Performance of Deep Networks
Authors: Temiz Hakan
Published: June 2022

Images cannot always be expected to come in a certain standard format and orientation. Deep networks need to be trained to take into account unexpected variations in orientation or format. For this purpose, training data should be enriched to include different conditions. In this study, the effects of data enrichment on the performance of deep networks in the super resolution problem were investigated experimentally. A total of six basic image transformations were used for the enrichment procedures. In the experiments, two deep network models were trained with variants of the ILSVRC2012 dataset enriched by these six image transformation processes. Considering a single image transformation, it has been observed that the data enriched with 180 degree rotation provides the best results. The most unsuccessful result was obtained when the models were trained on the enriched data generated by the flip upside down process. Models scored highest when trained with a mix of all transformations.

Authors: Ebrahimpour Nader , Ayden Mustafa Arda , Altay Banu
Published: June 2022

Today, automatic identification of individuals from biometric features is widely used in identification and authentication, security, and monitoring applications. Since facial recognition is a more user-friendly and comfortable method than other biometric methods, it has grown rapidly in recent years. However, most facial recognition systems are vulnerable to spoofing attacks. Therefore, face liveness detection (FLD) methods are of great importance. On the other hand, unlike traditional methods, deep learning techniques promise to significantly increase the accuracy of facial liveness detection systems and eliminate the difficulties of the real-world implementation of these systems. Therefore, in this paper, the application of some deep learning models to detect face liveness is reviewed and compared with each other.

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Thermal Expansion and Pressure Loss in Air Hoses made from Different Materials
Authors: Sökmen Kemal Furkan , Çakır Aslıhan
Published: June 2022

This study was carried out to numerically and experimentally examine the thermal expansion of four different air hoses with the same geometric shape and dimensions, produced from rubber types with different raw materials, and to examine its effects on pressure loss. Hoses are manufactured from EPDM, ECO, AEM and NBR/CSM rubber compounds. The thermal expansion test was performed at 100°C and 140°C. Thermal and flow analyses and solid-fluid interaction (FSI) analyzes were performed with ANSYS 19.2 commercial finite volumes software. In the study, independence from mesh number was studied. k- Ɛ was chosen as the turbulence model. As a result of the study, the maximum expansion was observed in ECO material and in AEM, EPDM and NBR/CS materials, respectively. It has been determined by tests and analyses that air hoses made of AEM and ECO materials with a low modulus of elasticity have the highest values in diameter expansion. These deformation values caused the pressure value of 300 kPa to decrease to 298.5 kPa at 100 oC and to 298.41 kPa at 140 oC for AEM and decreased the 300 kPa pressure value to 298.1 kPa for ECO. It has been determined that the importance of material selection in air hose designs and the deformation due to the material will affect the pressure loss

There are innumerable events related to heat transfer that we experience or see in our daily lives. In this study, research and experimental calculations were made about multilayer plane walls, which are often made of different materials. There are so much application areas on heat transfer. In order to better understand heat conduction, we need to make an explanation of the thermal properties and heat transfer type of the materials used in the experiment. It is known that heat transfer occurs in three different ways (conduction, convection, radiation). In this study, a layered wall heat conduction mechanism was established by combining 6 different materials (Copper, St37 Steel, AISI 1050 Aluminum, Wood, Rock wool, Glass wool) with different pediments of 30*30 cm. Heat is produced by gradually applying voltage from the copper plate and the temperature between each plate is measured by temperature sensors with Arduino programming. In the Arduino assembly, one Arduino Unocard, 5 lm35 temperature sensors and 1 20*4 I2C LCD screen are used to take the measurement outputs. The LM35 temperature sensor produces a voltage between zero and 5 V from the analog output, and the temperature measurement is made by producing a value of 10mV for each degree Celsius. The right leg of lm35s with three legs is connected to GND on the breadboard for grounding, the middle leg is connected to the analog output on the uno board, the left leg is connected to the 5V input on the breadboard and 5 lm35s are connected in parallel on the breadboard. The sensors were placed in the middle of the plates and the measurements were printed and recorded on the LCD screen. The measurements in the experimental setup were analyzed by applying a stepped voltage of the same value to the layered wall designed from the same materials in the SolidWorks thermal program, the data were collected and compared with the theoretical calculations of heat transfer.

Authors: Yağlı Kemal , Aldırmaz Çolak Sultan
Published: June 2022

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, a preamble is added at the start of the OFDM data frame in order to find the correct frame starting point. In the receiver, the symbol starting point is estimated by a correlation-based timing metric that uses the periodic properties of the preamble. In this study, a novel preamble structure using the constant amplitude zero autocorrelation (CAZAC) sequence is proposed. The performance of the timing synchronization algorithms has been compared with the proposed method in terms of mean squared error (MSE). The simulations are performed under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh multipath fading channels. The simulation results indicate that our proposed method provides better timing MSE performance for the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values.
The Numerical Analysis of The Group and Phase Velocity of Waves in The Ionosphere is Thought to Be Collision-Free
Authors: Kurt Kadri , Yeşil Melik Buğra
Published: June 2022

The behavior of phase and group velocities of waves occurring in the ionosphere, which is considered collision-free, is the focus of this article. The phase velocities of the waves (ordinary, polarized waves) occurring in the ionosphere are larger than the speed of light, whereas the group velocities are less than the speed of light, according to the findings. The phase velocities are compatible with changes in electron density under acceptable conditions, however, the group velocities show an antisymmetric variation with the electron density. In the northern hemisphere, the extra-ordinary wave takes negative values, while in the southern hemisphere, it takes positive values.

Electromagnetic clutches are systems used in many applications like packaging machines, wire tensioning units, printing machines, etc. The main components of the electromagnetic clutch are coil, lining, body, armature, and rotor pulley. It becomes active when the system gives DC electric current to the coil. The magnetized body exerts an attraction force on the armature and transmits torque depending on the friction coefficient of the lining. In this study, magnetic and structural analyzes of the electromagnetic clutch are commercially used with a torque of 7 Nm were performed with a finite element-based Ansys software. As a result of the study, tensile forces, torque values, and magnetic flux density were obtained. The results were analyzed and data were created for future studies.

دور الفطرة والغريزة في الأخلاق دراسة تحليلية من وجهة نظر إسلامية
Authors: Sallam Abdulnaser
Published: June 2022

إن موضوع الأخلاق من الموضوعات التي شغلت الإنسان في القديم والحديث، واهتم به الباحثون على أساس من العقل الإنساني الخالص، لشرح طبيعة الفعل الخلقي، وعناصره، ومصادره، وغاياته، ووجه الإلزام الخلقي، وغير ذلك من المفاهيم التي تتعلق بالأخلاق، لكن لم يتناول الباحثون بشكل دقيق دور الفطرة والغريزة في موضوع الأخلاق رغم أهميتهما كمكونين أساسيين في الطبيعة الإنسانية والتي هي محور علم الأخلاق. وعليه تهدف هذه الدراسة البحث دور الفطرة والغريزة في تحديد ماهية الخلق، وعلاقتهما بالنظام الأخلاقي في الإسلام، وذلك بدراسة تحليلية من وجهة نظر إسلامية تتناول ارتباط هذين المفهومين بتعريف الخلق وطبيعته ومصدره من خلال قضية الخير والشر، وتتناول ارتباطهما بأسس النظام الأخلاقي كدراسة إسلامية للإلزام الخلقي والمعيار الخلقي والغاية الخلقية والجزاء والمسؤولية. وتخلص هذه الدراسة إلى أنه لا يمكن فهم طبيعة الخلق وتأسيس نظام أخلاقي بمنأى عن الفطرة والغريزة، سواء من الناحية النظرية أو العملية، حيث إنهما مكونان أساسيان في الطبيعة الإنسانية يقومان بتكوين وتشكيل الخلق، وبهما يمكن الكشف أن الإنسان كائن خيِّر، والأصل فيه الخير. وقد بينت هذه الدراسة خطأ نظرية الوسط الأخلاقية وذلك في التفرقة بين ماهية الفضيلة وماهية الخلق، وكشفت أن الفطرة والغريزة يشكل أحدهما أوكلاهما عنصراً أساسياً من أسس النظام الأخلاقي في الإسلام.

In recent years, green tourism has become a development trend, attracting the attention of the community, tourism businesses and tourists in many countries around the world. However, the approach of green tourism development in Vietnam is still limited in terms of scale and participants. This article examines the situation of using plastic products and the plastic waste treatment in the 5-star hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. Specifically, this study aims to explore the perception of customers of the use of plastic products. By doing so, the study contributes to clarifying the current situation of green tourism development in the hotel sector in the study area. The authors used the research methods of questionnaire, semi-structured interview and non-participant observation to conduct this study. Research results show that although the use of plastic products in hotels is still high, the plastic waste treatment is not thorough because of high treatment costs. But, the hotels tend to change policy on the treatment of plastic waste in an environmentally friendly manner. Besides, customers’ perception of plastic products is completely positive related to their attitudes when using, the willingness to pay and the desire to access more environmentally friendly services and products in the hotel sector. Based on the results, the article also discusses and suggests implications and approaches to developing products and services in hotels towards the development of green tourism and sustainable tourism in the future.

Boundary Analysis of Control Systems using Schwarz Lemma
Authors: Örnek Bülent Nafi , Düzenli Timur
Published: June 2022

In this paper, Schwarz lemma at the boundary is considered for analysis of transfer functions used in control systems. Two theorems are presented with their proofs by performing boundary analysis of the derivative of positive real functions evaluated at the origin. Considering that the transfer function,H(s) , is an analytic function defined on the right half of the s- plane, inequalities for |H(0)| are obtained by assuming that   is also analytic at the boundary point s=0 on the imaginary axis with H(0)=0. Finally, the sharpness of these inequalities is proved. As result of the sharpness analysis, different extremal functions corresponding to different transfer functions are obtained. The related block diagrams and root-locus curves are also presented for considered transfer functions. According to the root-locus diagrams, marginally stable transfer functions are obtained as the natural results of the theorems proposed in the study.
