Authors: T. Nimnim Hayder , Al-Khaqani Maysam AbdulZahra
Published: June 2023

In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the local scour around piers. Effects of many parameters on the maximum depth of scour and scour pattern around piers have been studied. The study considered the effects of upstream flow conditions, shape of pier, side slope angles, and type of soil. Three cross sections for pier (circular, elliptical and oblong) were used for different velocities and discharges to find the scour depth. Two types of uniform cohesionless soil with median grain sizes of d50=0.25 (bed soil of Al-Kufa river), and d50=0.66 were used as bed material. Four angles of pier side slope were selected 0Â° (prismatic pier) and 5Â°, 10Â° and 15Â° (non-prismatic piers). It has been observed that for circular cross section pier, the maximum reduction for the scour depth at the upstream of the pier with a side slope of 15Â° for the soil of d50=0.25mm was about 63.64% and for the soil of d50=0.66mm was about 54.55%. The reduction value was increased up to 80% and 75% for the same angle of pier side slope (ÆŸ=15Â°) with oblong cross section for the soil of d50=0.25mm and d50=0.66mm respectively.

The importance of product quality and food safety for consumers would be reached by apply traceability product. Indonesia's geographical archipelago has long supply chain of fisheries which cause all supply chain data getting difficult to trace from upstream to end of consumer. The problem of this research is how to apply traceability of seafood products from their origin through to end customer by using traceability system. The method used is apply batch code identifier to represent vessel information, catch data, and landing site. System applies automatic detection of landing site coordinates using global positioning system, and along with batch code stored to cloud server. The batch code moved along with the fish movement in each supply chain. Once fish received by processors, system get access cloud server to get proper batch code. Finally, each product is labeled with QR Code containing product information and batch code. While products sent to customers, label scanned and system provide fish origin information and show the maps of the vessel landing location. The testing results shows label can be scanned at maximum distance of 40 cm in dry surface and flat and curved position, and at a maximum distance of 25 cm in flat position, wet and frozen conditions. Label can be scanned at maximum distance 20 cm in a curved position and wet and frozen conditions.

Published: June 2023

Herbal medicine are gaining popularity both in developing and developed countries because of their natural origin and less side effects, many traditional medicines in use are derived from medicinal plants, minerals and organic matter. Combination of Mangifera indica Stem-bark (MSB), Carica papaya (PL) and Eucalyptus (EU) leaf ethanol extracts were evaluated on formalin-induced inflammation in albino rats using standard procedures. Forty-five (45) rats were divided into nine (9) groups of five (5) rats each. Induction was by subcutaneous injection of 0.1ml (2.5% v/v in normal saline) formaldehyde solution (formalin) via the right hind paw of all groups except normal control, group seven (7), on 1st & 3rd day of experiment. Groups 1-3 were treated with 200mg/kg 200 mg/kg, 400mg/kg 400 mg/kg, and 600mg/kg 600 mg/kg combined ethanol extracts MSB+PL respectively. Groups 4-6 received 200 mg/kg, 400mg/kg 400 mg/kg, and 600mg/kg 600 mg/kg combined extracts of MSB+EU respectively. Group 8(Standard) received 5mg/kg piroxicam and group 9(negative control) received 5ml/kg normal saline for 10 days. There was significant reduction in the malondialdehyde (MDA), the levels of SOD and CAT increased significantly. There were significant changes/elevation in lipid profile. The study therefore justifies that the extracts could played a role in ameliorating the inflammatory process by mopping up the free radicals produced by the inflammation.

Authors: Vickie Chepkemoi Koske  , Moses Omondi Otieno  , Barbara Wanjiku Mambo
Published: June 2023

Background: There are approximately 99,159 adolescents living with human immunodeficiency virus in Kenya, with a viral suppression rate of 67%, according to the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS in 2021 [1] . There are limited studies in Kenya on factors associated with viral load suppression among adolescents. The objectives of this study were to determine the treatment factors associated with viral suppression among adolescents on antiretroviral therapy. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 38,503 HIV-infected adolescents receiving antiretroviral therapy for at least 6 months with a documented viral load result. The data was from routinely collected HIV program data in Kenya that is submitted from comprehensive care centers with electronic medical records to the National Aids and STI Control Program (NASCOP) for the period of January 2018–December 2022. Results: The study population was 38503 HIV-infected adolescents (10–19 years) on antiretroviral therapy. The viral suppression was at 81.2%., higher than the 2021 UNAIDS estimate of 67%. low detectable levels were 88%, low level viremia was 12%, high-risk LLV was 38%, and suspected treatment failure as 62%. Virological suppression with integrase strand transfer inhibitors based regimens – Abacavir and Tenofovir was 81.6% and 86.4%, respectively. The suppression with protease inhibitors based regimens was 70% (highest) and 56.4% (Lowest) Conclusion: The viral suppression among adolescents on antiretroviral therapy was 81.2% lower than the UNAIDS 95/95/95 global target but higher than the 2021 UNAIDS estimate of 67%. There is a need to interrogate the viral suppression in adolescents on protease inhibitors.

Authors: Odoh NC  , Yakubu C.  , Ncho CO
Published: June 2023

The production of maize has significant nutrient needs, notably for nitrogen. Considering the negative impact of chemical fertilizer on the ecosystem, alternative supply of nutrients that is easily accessible and environmentally benign must be sourced. This study looked into the effects of inoculating mycorrhizae and diazotrophs on the growth and biomass output of maize. The treatments included three (3) levels of mycorrhiza (without mycorrhiza, with Glomus clarum, and with Glomus deserticola), as well as two (2) levels of diazotroph (with and without diazotroph). These treatment combinations were applied to thirty (30) pots, each containing 3 kg of soil. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Data were collected on growth parameters such as leaf area, number of leaves, stem girth, and plant height at 2-week interval. The trial was terminated at 8 weeks after sowing (WAS), and yield parameters measured included root length, fresh and dry shoot weight, and fresh and dry root weight. The data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the General Linear Model procedure with Minitab statistical software. A significant interactive effect of diazotrophs and mycorrhiza was observed in stem girth at 4 WAS. The highest stem girth (4.02 cm) was obtained under combined application of diazotroph and G. clarum while the least stem girth (3.38 cm) was obtained under control (no-diazotroph and no-mycorrhiza treatment). Mycorrhiza application positively influenced root length, fresh root weight, fresh shoot weight, dry root weight and dry shoot weight

Published: June 2023

In adeptly learning computer networks, realizing the procedural skills needed and creating a semantic link to an abstract concept is a challenge to all learners pursuing the study as well as instructors. The problem has been more recognized during the 2020 pandemic where most of the classes are conducted online. Teaching complicated concepts without providing visualization present in a laboratory environment can be seen as ineffective to some learners – leaving them with such abstract ideas. In some scenarios, providing a nice laboratory for newcomers can be costly to most educational institutions and to said probationers. In this paper, the research aims to develop a 2D game application with the objective of promoting an interactive way of learning advanced networking concepts while disseminating awareness on network security threats. This is to familiarize learners with the risk of such threats and to learn ways to prevent these attacks. The game application was play tested with thirty-five (35) BSIT students from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila which shows promising feedback. It was concluded that most students find the gamification effective – delivering a more interactive way of learning networking concepts while keeping them aware of network threats.

the AUTHORITY OF THE WOMAN "BU NYAI" IN LEADING BUSTANUL ULUM ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL IN LENTENG POREH SUMENEP
Authors: Yahya Nur Muhammad
Published: June 2023

This study examines Nyai's power as head of the Bustanul Ulum Lenteng Poreh Sumenep Islamic boarding school. Women's lives are badly impacted in both the private and societal realms by the issue of women's ontology, defined as God's creation from a man's rib. Women in positions of knowledge and high social prestige, such as Nyai Ustadzah and Lecturers, are unaffected by this issue. Women's leadership abilities are questioned simultaneously as religious dogma lists women as number two. Thus, it casts doubt on the legitimacy of women. Consequently, a strategy is required as a direction for study. The author applies Max Weber's theory to determine Nyai's leading authority and power. Weber divides authority into three parts: namely, management that is traditional, charismatic, legal, and rational. Weber divides authority into three parts: namely, management that is traditional, charismatic, legal, and rational. According to Weber, formal authority based on an old tradition and the position of power based on that tradition is reasonable and deserves respect, thus seeing the old tradition that has developed in a society where Nyai Amaniah is the heir to the leadership of the Bustanul Ulum Islamic Boarding School who has the right to lead even if a woman is called a Nyai.

Abstrak: Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang otoritas kepemimpinan ibu nyai di dalam memimpin pondok pesantren Bustanul Ulum Lenteng Poreh Sumenep. Masalah Ontologi perempuan yang digambarkan ciptaan Tuhan dari tulang rusuk laki-laki berdampak negatif terhadap kehidupan perempuan baik di wilayah privat maupun sosial. Masalah tersebut tidak banyak berpengaruh pada posisi perempuan yang memiliki keilmuan dan status sosial yang tinggi, seperti Nyai Ustadzah dan Dosen. Keraguan akan kompetensi kepemimpinan perempuan bersamaan dengan dogma agama yang menyebut perempuan secara eksplisit mahluk nomor dua. Sehingga memunculkan keraguan tentang kredibilitas perempuan. Maka perlu adanya pendekatan sebagai panduan analisis. Maka penulis menggunakan teori Max Weber untuk mengetahui otoritas dan kekuasaan Nyai sebagai pemimpin, Weber membagi otoritas tiga bagian: yaitu otoritas yang bersifat tradisional, kharismatik, legal rasional. menurut Weber otoritas tradisional berdasarkan tradisi lama serta kedudukan kekuasaan yang dilandasi tradisi itu adalah wajar dan patut dihormati, dengan demikian melihat tradisi lama yang berkembang di masyarakat bahwa Nyai Amaniah merupakan pewaris pimpinan Pondok Pesantren Bustanul Ulum yang berhak memimpin meskipun seorang perempuan yang disebut dengan Nyai.

COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE RESPONSES OF L1 (AFAN OROMO) IN THE EFL CLASSROOM
Authors: Bane Gemechu , Kitila Tamene
Published: June 2023

One of the most common issues that EFL teachers face in the classroom is the decision of whether or not to use L1 in the L2 classroom. The purpose of this study was to explore the cognitive and affective responses of L1 (Afan Oromo) use in primary school of EFL classrooms. The study employed a qualitative research method with a descriptive case study. Classroom observations and interviews were used to collect data. The Nvivo 12 computer program qualitative data analysis software was used to analyze the collected data. The finding indicated that the most prevalent cognitive reactions were comparing English and Afan Oromo grammatical rules, acquiring new vocabulary, and forming links between Afan Oromo and English. Teachers preferred Afan Oromo for teaching new vocabulary, grammatical lessons, and abstract concepts. Students preferred L1 use for better understanding, mastery of grammar and complicated issues, and a more natural way of expressing themselves because Afan Oromo enables them a more confident sense while expressing their views and keeping the affective filter low. Although using L1 contributes to a better understanding, unguided usage and unsystematized practice of L1 may impede the achievement of desired goals in English teaching and learning.

Published: June 2023

This research discusses language change as a result of the influence of social media. In an increasingly advanced digital era, social media has become one of the primary communication tools for individuals worldwide. This study utilizes descriptive and comparative analysis methods to explore the influence of social media on language change. Firstly, the research identifies grammar, syntax, and vocabulary changes due to social media usage. Then, the study compares the language used in traditional communication with that used in social media communication. The findings of this research indicate significant language changes due to the use of social media. There is an increase in the use of abbreviations, emoticons, and distinctive terms specific to social media that affect the way humans communicate in a digital context. Additionally, casual writing styles, non-formal language use, and the adaptation of foreign words have become characteristics of social media communication. These language changes can have both positive and negative impacts. On the positive side, social media has enabled faster and more efficient communication between individuals across the globe. Using a more casual and non-formal language can also strengthen social bonds among social media users. However, on the other hand, these language changes can also pose challenges to understanding and communication between different generations or in formal contexts.

The community generally bribes traffic police because they want to finish quickly and the assumption is that the Percut Sei Tuan community always thinks that the ticket process is convoluted, difficult and complicated and takes time and effort to make people lazy to complete the ticket in accordance with the proper procedures for solving a ticket, the length of the process law enforcement and long queues become images in the minds of the public when passing through official law enforcement channels. This will no longer be indifferent to the opportunity for the Percut Sei Tuan Police to resolve traffic violations peacefully by accepting bribes from the public. This research is a type of descriptive research. The data in this study is primary data or data collected by the researchers themselves. Data collection techniques in this study are interviews, questionnaires, and observation as well as literature. The data obtained were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman qualitative data analysis technique. The results of the study show that the motives that cause people to bribe in completing fines to the Percut Sei Tuan Police are internal factors: traffic violations are considered normal, public awareness is low, people want to be practical, people are lazy through official procedures following ticket trials or paying fines to banks is difficult and requires a long process. External factors: economy, sense of kinship. While efforts to deal with bribery: Police who abuse their authority by accepting bribes by the public in completing ticketing without going through a set procedure will be subject to sanctions by the National Police's professional code of ethics, imposing criminal fines for traffic offenders, the need for outreach to the public.

Published: June 2023

From the 1880s to the early 1900s on the island of Java, there was a unique tradition, namely the Rampogan Macan/Rampok Macan tradition. Javanese people community elite carried out this tradition until the early nineteenth century, but for reasons of animal preservation, the Dutch then banned the event. Questions in this research: How was the Rampogan Macan Tradition event until it was declared prohibited by the colonial government? This study uses historical methods. The study results show that the Rampogan Macan tradition as a conflict tradition in Java is a development of the Rampogan Macan tradition in Surakarta. Along with the decreasing population of the Javanese tiger, this tradition was later discontinued for reasons of preserving the fauna, but the big event was held in Java. The main reason the elites held tiger rampok was none other than the prestige they had won.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is classified by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) as a Schedule A disease. Given the potential for rapid spread of the disease, all suspected cases should be reported and investigated immediately. Understanding the mechanism of FMD spread and control measures is key to outbreak investigation and allows the source of an outbreak to be traced along with potential routes of further spread. Foot-and-mouth disease is endemic in vast areas of Africa, Asia and South America. In 2022, the following countries remain unfavorable for FMD: Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, Israel, Indonesia, UAE, Palestine, Algeria, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Tunisia, South Africa. In Russia, in 2022, foot and mouth disease was not registered. There are seven serotypes of foot-and-mouth disease virus: O, A, C, Asia 1, SAT 1, SAT 2 and SAT 3. Cattle, buffalo, sheep, pigs, goats, African buffalo, deer, yaks and other artiodactyls are susceptible to it. The two principle ways in which an animal can become infected are by inhalation of virus particles in the air, and by ingestion of food material containing virus particles, also through abrasions, contaminated instruments or artificial insemination. Up to 50 % of ruminant animals become persistently infected after clinical recover and termed a "carrier". Key risk factors for virus introduction are the introduction of a new animal into the herd with an unknown FMD vaccination status, seasonality, lack of vaccination, herd size. The cause of infection is often the uncontrolled or illegal movement of livestock. The main risk of FMD introduction comes from livestock, vehicles, people directly working with livestock susceptible to FMD, wild animals. The key principles of biosecurity are isolation of sick animals, cleaning and disinfection of premises and equipment. Foot-and-mouth disease is a major barrier to international trade in livestock and animal products, so countries free of the disease are taking increased precautions to prevent the virus from entering.

Authors: Tsema L. G. , Latypova A. L.
Published: June 2023

The article presents data on study of the productivity of potato early ripening varieties (Legenda, Russia; Red Scarlet, Netherlands) and middle-early varieties (Irbitskiy Russia; Gala, Germany) grown on aeroponic installations in artificial lighting conditions: three-tier adaptive installation (“Syntol” production) and single-tier installation produced by “Biological systems” plant. Potato plants were characterized by active growth and development. Their height ranged from 71.0 to 94.2 cm among the varieties, the number of leaves formed on one plant – from 23 to 31 pieces. The formation of mini-tubers was noted from the 46th day (Legenda variety) to the 53rd day (Irbitskiy variety). The first harvest was obtained at the 65th day in early varieties and at the 67th day for middle-early varieties beginning from planting of micro-plants on to the adaptation installation. The productivity of plants by varieties ranged from 123.0 g (Legenda) to 216.1 (Gala) g of mini-tubers per plant, output of mini tubers from 68.1 (Irbitskiy) to 105.2 (Legenda) pieces per plant, the mass of one mini-tuber ranged from 1.17(Legenda) to 2.73 g (Red Scarlet).
Effect of a biological product with iron nanoparticles on the activity of soil enzymes and potato yields
Authors: Lyubimova N. A. , Rabinovich G. Yu.
Published: June 2023

The paper presents data on a three-year study (2020-2022) of the effect of a liquid-phase biological product containing iron nanoparticles (LPB-Fe), obtained by biosynthesis using green tea extract, on the yield of potatoes of the Skarb variety and the activity of soil enzymes under the conditions of Tverskaya areas. Comparative efficiency of LPB-Fe, the original LPB biopreparation, solution of iron nanoparticles Fe NPs was studied in the field against the background of NPK application. The results showed that the maximum productivity (669.1 g/bush) of potatoes was obtained by foliar treatment of vegetative plants with a 1% solution of LPB-Fe – 16.9 % more than the control variant (NPK background). With the separate use of a 1% solution of LPB and a 1% solution of Fe NPs, the productivity was 628.4 and 550.6 g/plant, respectively, which indicates an increase in their impact on potato plants when used together as part of LPB-Fe. It was noted that the activity of invertase correlated with the content of humus in the soil, and the activity of the protease correlated with the content of readily hydrolysable nitrogen. In addition, the study of the activity of enzymes in the soil under potatoes (catalase, dehydrogenase, invertase, cellulase and protease) showed that they have a significant impact on the yield of potatoes at different stages of the growing season with various technological methods of using biological preparations. For example, when treating potato tubers at the seedling stage, an inverse relationship was found between catalase activity in the soil and yield: the higher the enzyme activity, the lower the yield (correlation coefficient is -0.82). And in the case of cellulase, with the same technological method, on the contrary, a direct dependence is observed: the higher the activity of the enzyme in the soil at the seedling stage, the greater the yield (correlation coefficient is 0.72). Thus, when soil and plants are exposed to Fe-containing biological products, the activity of enzymes responsible for the transformation of the main biogenic elements (carbon and nitrogen) and redox processes occurring in the soil changes, which ultimately leads to a change in soil fertility and, therefore, either decrease or increase of crop yields.

The effect of tillage methods on the cellulose-decomposing activity of the soil and on crop yields in crop rotations
Authors: Dementiev D. A. , Fadeev A. A.
Published: June 2023

In the conditions of the Chuvash Republic in a long-term stationary experiment there has been studied the effect of crop rotations (grain- fallow and green manure) and methods of primary tilling of soil (by the plow PLN-3-35 to the depth of 24-26 cm; by the combined unit KOS-3.0 to 14-16 cm; by the disc header BDM-4-3.2 to 10-12 cm without autumn tilling) on the cellulose-decomposing activity of the soil by the method of setting up flax linen and on the crop yield. The article provides 2016-2020 data. It has been established that plowing increased the total soil porosity (55.3…63.5 %) and provided maximum decomposing of flax linen (42.9…51.3 %). Absence of primary soil tilling led to the statistically significant decrease in the porosity (50.8…59.3 %) and cellulose-decomposing activity (36.1…43.9 %). Maximum yield of crops in crop rotation was obtained by cultivation according to traditional plowing. When replacing plowing by subsoil tillage the use of combined stubble cultivator KOS-3.0 was the best variant. Primary tillage of soil to the depth of 14-16 cm using KOS-3.0 unit instead of plowing led to the significant yield decrease (by 0.29 t/ha) of spring vetch only. Among other cultures of crop rotation there was no significant yield decrease. Complete rejection of autumn soil tillage led to 16-25 % yield loss in grain crops. Plowing to the depth of arable layer (24-26 cm) as primary autumn tillage of soil increased the fertility indicators of dark-gray wooded soil (its total porosity, cellulose-decomposing activity) and yield of cultures in crop rotation. But when changing over to resource saving technologies for primary autumn tilling of soil under grain crops the combined unit stubble cultivator KOS-3.0 should be used.

Published: June 2023

The article summarizes the 2020-2021 research results, obtained in a field stationary experiment on leached chernozem in the Republic of Mordovia. The object of the study was spring barley of the Zazersky 85 variety. In its sowings the effectiveness of separate and joint use of the Forsazh (micro) preparation with various doses of mineral fertilizers was studied, including against the background of liming of the soil by 0.5 and 1.0 h.a. in 1999-2000. On average, for two years in the variant without the use of chemicals, the crop yield was 1.82 t / ha. The effect of fertilizers (P40K40, N40-60-80P40K40) was estimated by an increase in the yield of 0.10, 0.40-1.02 t/ha (LSD05 = 0.03 t/ha). The payback of 1 kg a.i. of mineral fertilizers with additional income increased with the rise in the doses of fertilizers applied - 0.94, 1.08, 1.19, 1.38 rubles/rub, respectively. The use of mineral fertilizers significantly increased the mass of 1000 grains and the natural weight of barley grain by 0.6-2.3 g and 9-33 g/l, respectively, and the Forsazh preparation by 0.2 g and 3 g/l. The recommended dose of mineral fertilizers for barley N80P40K40 provides the yield of 2.84 t/ha. Additional use of the Forsazh (micro) preparation will improve the technological indicators of grain quality.

The objectives included the analysis of biochemical blood parameters of newborn cows, research of the feed additive action on the activity of rumen microflora and milk productivity level, as well as calculation of economic efficiency of the probiotic. To implement the objectives the experiment was carried out in the period from March to July 2021 on the basis of OOO “Zarya” of Chagodoshchensky district of the Vologda Oblast. During the experiment there were formed two groups of the Ayrshire cattle of 15 cows each at the beginning of lactation, selected by the method of balanced groups. Cows of the control group received the farm diet, and the experimental group was given an additional 50 g per head per day of probiotic “Rumit” in the daily feeding. The duration of the experiment was 90 days. Use of the probiotic in the experimental group contributed to the increase of rumen microflora activity by 28 % (P≤0.05). In the analysis of biochemical blood parameters of the experimental animals, compared with the control group, there was an increase in total protein by 14.3 % (P≤0.05), urea decreased by 19 % (P≤0.05) and bilirubin fell by 21.3 % (P≤0.05). There was an increase in cows’ milk productivity in the experimental group by 6.7 % and, as a consequence, a 5.2 % reduction in the cost of energy feed units for production. Additional profit from selling milk in the experimental group was 37.32 rubles per head per day.

The need to use such propulsion devices in mobile agricultural power units is substantiated. The relevance of this development based on global trends is shown. The purpose of the research is to develop the design, to evaluate strain-stress state and functional characteristics of undercarriages of agricultural tractors with replaceable half-tracks. An experimental design of the replaceable tracked undercarriage was developed and manufactured, modeling of loading modes was performed, calculations were carried out by the finite element method of the stress-strain state of structural elements according to 6 load schemes – tractor parking on a flat horizontal surface; movement with maximum traction force; parking across a 30° slope for the upper track; parking across a 30° slope for the lower caterpillar; driving into an obstacle with a deviation of 15°; driving over obstacles based on the central rollers. It was determined that the selected structural material, by the above mentioned loading modes ensure the operability of replaceable tracked undercarriage. Calculations were carried out to check the adequacy of the developed mathematical model using field tests in testing ground of FSAC VIM. It was determined that the maximum stress-strain state of the frame structure of a replaceable tracked undercarriage for all types of loading did not exceed 100 MPa. This provides a two-fold margin of safety in terms of fluidity of the structure, taking into account the characteristics of the selected material. In the maximum loaded state - parking across a slope of 30° - the highest stress on the upper track is 161 MPa, which corresponds to a safety margin of 1.45. The deformation of the bearing assembly was no more than 4 mm, which is allowed by the design of the drive assembly and the caterpillar.

Wind energy is one of the most important renewable energies since it reduces environmental pollution. Darrieus VAWTs with straight-bladed are more prevalent in small-scale power generation due to their simple blade design and easy construction. The investigation of the performance of VAWTs is a topic that is fascinating for Researchers to look into. Researchers have paid special attention to the Double Multiple Stream Tube (DMST) model for VAWT simulation because of the good correlation between the DMST model and the experimental results. In this paper Double Multiple Stream Tube analysis using Matlab programing to predict the aerodynamic performance of H-type Darrieus fixed pitch VAWT, More specifically, the power coefficient (Cp) and the tip speed ratio (TSR). The fact that an H-type Darrieus rotor has poor self-starting despite having a good power coefficient which is a constant worry at low wind speeds. Selection of the airfoil is one of the most essential factors to take into account while trying to enhancement the aerodynamic performance of H-type Darrieus fixed pitch VAWT. In this study first, results from experiments were used for the validation of the model, and then, 4 different families of symmetrical airfoils compared. The results indicate that the symmetrical airfoil S-1046 showed exceptional aerodynamic performance and a high starting torque for a low wind speed of 4m/s.

Osmanlı’da Liberalizm Algısı
Authors: ÖZHAZİNEDAR Tuba
Published: June 2023

Liberalizm, Orta Çağ’da feodal yapının çözülmesiyle varlık bulan ulus devletlerin doğmasıyla ortaya çıkmıştır. Tanrı-devlet anlayışı çözülmüş, dogmatizm yerini bilimsel düşünceye bırakmış, değişmez kabul edilen her şey sorgulanmaya başlamıştır. Bu doğrultuda gelişen toplumsal yapı yeni bir siyasal arayışın içine girmiş, düşünce ve ifade hürriyeti, bireysel ve temel haklar ve birey-devlet ilişkileri tartışılmaya başlamıştır. Birey-devlet ilişkisini, merkezine alan bireyin fikirlerine, eylemlerine, taleplerine saygı duyan, bireyi toplumun ve devletin esası kabul eden bir anlayışa sahip düşünürler sahneye çıkmışlardır. Düşünürler, bireylerin doğuştan sahip oldukları temel hak ve özgürlükleri elde etmek için verilen zorlu mücadele karşısında bireylerin korunmasını ve anayasal güvence alınmasını savunmuşlardır. Onlara göre devletin temel görevi; keyfi muameleye karşı vatandaşını korunmak, bireylere ve bireylerin düşüncelerine güvenmek, temel hak ve özgürlükleri tanımak, toplumsal rıza anlayışını uygulamaktır. Devletin kaynağının ve meşruiyetinin tartışmaya açılmasıyla birey- devlet ilişkisinin düzenlenmesi ihtiyacı doğmuştur. Böylece liberal düşüncenin gelişmesi sağlanmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti’nde de liberal düşüncenin gelişmesi bu esasa dayanmıştır. Osmanlı’da yenileşme liberalizm esas alınarak uygulanmıştır. Devletin kurumlarında, düşüncesi yapısında ve sisteminde önemli değişiklikler meydana gelmiştir. Liberal devlet yönetimi anlayışı Tanzimat ile başlamış, Kanun-i Esasi'nin ilanı ile değişme ve gelişme göstermiştir. Bu makalede liberal düşüncenin ortaya çıkışı, gelişimi ve Osmanlı Devleti’ne olan yansımaları değerlendirilmiştir. Liberal fikirlerin Osmanlı toplumunu, yönetimini yeniden şekillendirip şekillendirmeği tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Osmanlı toplumunda meydana gelen yeni dinamiklerin neler olduğu anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu tespit yapılırken basından faydalanılmıştır. Bu açıdan makale önem arz etmektedir. Betimleyici araştırma tekniğinin kullanıldığı makalede benzerlerinden farklı olarak gazete haberleri kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, Osmanlı’da liberalizm algısının, yenileşme ve modernleşme ile eş anlamlı görüldüğü tespit edilmiştir.

Bu çalışmada Georgian dönemi olarak bilinen 1714-1830 yıllarında Kral I. George, Kral II. George, Kral III. George ve Kral IV. George tarafından yürürlüğe konulan ilginç ve tuhaf vergiler inceleme konusu yapılmaktadır. Georgian dönemi İngiltere’nin endüstriyel ve emperyal anlamda zirve yaşadığı, çeşitli ekonomik, sosyal ve siyasi olayların sıklıkla cereyan ettiği bir dönemdir. Ancak tüm bu gelişmelere karşın vergilendirme konusunda bir o kadar da kötü üne sahiptir. Georgian dönemi pek çok keyfî verginin alındığı ve bu vergilerin halkın üzerinde önemli ölçüde yük oluşturduğu bir dönemdir. Britanya İmparatorluğu’nun vergilendirme tarihinde yer bulmuş bu dönemi “keyfî vergiler çağı” olarak adlandırmak mümkündür. Bu çalışmada Georgian döneminde yürürlüğe konulmuş birbirinden ilginç vergi örnekleri incelemeye çalışılmıştır.

In this paper, an algorithm for preprocessing of PSK - signals based on wiener filtration is proposed. The aim of preprocessing is to extract the phase discontinuities when filtering harmonic filling of a signal. This method allows us to avoid compensation of unknown frequency shift in the problems of determining the time delay of signals during multichannel propagation. The study checks the conditions of algorithm applicability and its stability to a noise level in the observed channels.
Cheering and Jeering on the Escalator to Hell: One Year of UK Media Coverage on the War in Ukraine
Authors: Blackburn Matthew
Published: June 2023

While there is a common awareness of wartime media censorship in both Ukraine and Russia, there has been less research on Western media coverage and expert analysis of the war in Ukraine. This essay considers the extent to which a skewed and partisan version of the war’s evolution has been presented in UK media. Five stages are identified in the emergence and evolution of a British meta-narrative on the war in Ukraine, replete with ‘cheering’ and ‘jeering’, that works against a realistic understanding of the war’s nature and reasonable consideration of possible future scenarios. It is argued this coverage has sidestepped critical questions of the war’s stage-by-stage escalation and has essentially avoided serious debate of the risks, costs and benefits of such a course.
Power Transition, Cold War II and International Politics
Authors: Sakwa Richard
Published: June 2023

The onset of multipolarity is accompanied by a number of cross-cutting trends. First, the consolidation of elements of modified bipolarity in the form of the Sino-American great power dyad. Second, the emergence of a range of ‘legacy’ great powers, including Germany, France, the UK and Japan, with Russia struggling to retain its status as a great power while fearing relegation to legacy status. Third, the revival of cold war entails the restoration of bloc politics, although in this case in an acutely asymmetrical form. The nascent political institutionalization of the political East is based on a very different institutional and normative basis than the more consolidated political West. Overall, the center of gravity of international politics is shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific basin, reflecting a fundamental change in the global correlation of forces. The Ukraine war has accelerated the end of the era of the dominance of the political West.
