Authors: Ломтадзе Г.А. , Румянцева О.С.
Published: February 2025

В статье рассматриваются вещевые комплексы погребений антично го некрополя города Кепы на Таманском полуострове со стеклянными сосудами первой средиземноморской группы, изготовленными в технике песчано-глиняно го сердечника. Три алабастра, амфориск и ойнохоя происходят из четырех погре бений, два из которых (могилы 29 и 69) датируются втор. четв. V в. до н. э., одно (могила 140) – рубежом перв. и втор. четв. V в. до н. э., одно (могила 189) – четв. четвертью V в. до н. э. В двух случаях датировки сосудов на сердечнике, полу ченные на основе типологических признаков, полностью соответствуют датам погребений, основанным на керамических импортах и предметах вооружения, в двух – взаимно корректируют друг друга в пределах четверти века. Все типы сосудов на сердечнике, встреченные в Кепах, известны в городах Северного При черноморья и были в разной степени здесь распространены. Зона их наиболее высокой концентрации приходится на Восточную Грецию и особенно на о. Родос, где, очевидно, располагались самые крупные центры по производству таких изде лий; подобная модель пространственного распределения в целом характерна для всех сосудов первой средиземноморской группы. Именно на Родосе на сегодня археологически изучены мастерские по производству таких сосудов, в т. ч. и сре диземноморской группы I.

The paper reports on assemblages of funerary offerings from the graves in the necropolis of Kepoi, an ancient Greek city on the Taman peninsula. These assem blages contain glass vessels of Mediterranean group I made using the technique of core forming. Three alabastra, an amphoriskos and an oinochoe come from four graves, two of them (graves 29 and 69) are dated to the second quarter of the 5th century BC, one grave (grave 140) is dated to the turn of the second quarter of the 5th century BC, and 116 Г. А. Ломтадзе, О. С. Румянцева one grave (grave 189) is dated to the fourth quarter of the 5th century BC. In two cases the dates of the core-formed vessels based on the typological features perfectly match the chronology of the graves dated using ceramic imports and weaponry; in another two cases the dates have been mutually adjusted within the quarter of the century. All types of core-formed vessels found in Kepoi are known in the cities of the North Pontic region where they were spread to a different extent. The highest concentration of such vessels has been found in eastern Greece, especially, in Rhodes, where, presumably, the largest centers where such items were produced were located. On the whole, this model of distribution is characteristic of all vessels attributed to Mediterranean group I. It is in Rhodes where workshops specializing in the production of such vessels, includ ing those from Mediterranean Group I, have been discovered so far.

Published: February 2025

Machine learning (ML) models are revolutionizing computational chemistry by enabling accurate predictions across diverse applications, including force field generation and chemical space exploration. However, the quality of these models heavily depends on the training data, necessitating a smart data approach to balance data quality and quantity. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is pivotal in optimizing ML workflows, guiding data selection, and improving model predictions. In this study, we assessed calibration and UQ in molecular property prediction by modifying an equivariant graph neural network with a deep evidential layer (EGNN-DER) and using an ensemble of ANI models. Initial results revealed underconfident uncertainties, which were corrected using posthoc calibration methods (e.g., isotonic regression, standard scaling, and GPNormal). Adversarial group calibration demonstrated the robustness of the recalibrated uncertainties, enhancing active learning by reducing redundancy and targeting underrepresented data regions. Our findings demonstrate the importance of calibration for refining ML-based active learning strategies in chemistry.

Published: February 2025

A two-dimensional coordination complex {[Mn(Me-im)3(H2O)][Cr(CN)6]0.5[Mn(EtOH)2]}(1) (Me-im= 1-Methylimidazole) has been synthesized by following the “building-block” strategy from the reaction between [Cr(CN)6]3- and Mn(II) with monodentate 1-methylimidazole ligand. The complex was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, magnetic, gas adsorption and spectroscopic studies. Crystal structure analyses reveal that in the 2D network is formed, the central Cr is linked to two Mn centers of different coordination environments in the [CrMn2] asymmetric unit by CrIII-CN-MnII bridges. Extension of the 2D network forms “1D ladder like chains” of finite width. N2 gas adsorption studies on desolvated sample reveals a Type II adsorption isotherm at 77 K. Magnetic studies of 1 reveal strong ferrimagnetic ordering with TC= 2.15 K. In an attempt to increase the ordering temperature, the magnetic sponge property has also been investigated for this system by successive desolvation and resolvation, and likewise an increase in the ordering temperature has been observed
Reproductive ecology of the great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) in the conditions of the drainage canal of the Poltava mining and processing plant
Authors: Litvin L. M. , Chaplygina A. B.
Published: February 2025

Purpose. To investigate the reproduction ecology of the great warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus in the territory of the drainage canal of the Poltava Mining and Processing Plant in order to preserve the species in the conditions of a technogenic landscape.

Methods. Field: bird counts on permanent routes. Statistical: processing of the obtained data.

Results. The ecological features of large warblers within the drainage canal were studied. Biotope conditions, nesting adaptations, and population dynamics of the species were analyzed. A decrease in the nesting density of warblers from 11.8 pairs/km2 (2022) and 9.5 pairs/km2 (2023) to 6.2 pairs/km2 (2024) has been established, it is associated with several factors, but most of all it is due to disturbance during the nesting period and abiotic factors. It has been proven that drainage canals with dense riparian vegetation provide a favorable environment for nesting and feeding birds. The behavioral nesting strategies of warblers and their response to parasitism by the cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) have been studied. The reproductive period of the Great Warbler was approximately 41 days, depending on external environmental conditions (natural factors, food availability). The nests are located at a height of 120–160 cm above the water level to avoid flooding during rising water levels in the drainage canal. The average distance between neighboring nests was 28.3±3.5 m. Appropriate measures should be implemented to increase the number of the Great Warbler nesting population on the drainage canal.

Conclusions. The role of artificial wetlands in maintaining biodiversity is described. Recommendations are proposed for the conservation of greater warblers by minimizing negative impacts, maintaining the stability of the drainage canal ecosystem, and regular monitoring of this man-made area.

Authors: Akaligwo Emmanuel , Oyem Anselm , Babanrinsa Olayiwola
Published: February 2025

Noise and vibration are pervasive challenges in built-up structures, impacting structural integrity, operational efficiency, and occupant well-being. These issues are particularly pronounced in urban and industrial settings, where traditional materials often struggle to deliver effective mitigation across the broad range of relevant frequencies. This paper introduces an integrated mathematical modeling and virtual design framework for the development of advanced metamaterials aimed at reducing noise and vibration in such complex structures. The approach combines finite element analysis, dynamic energy analysis, and optimization algorithms to design metamaterials with frequency-selective properties that create targeted barriers to acoustic and vibrational disturbances. The study not only develops a systematic methodology for designing these metamaterials but also validates their efficacy through comprehensive simulations and benchmarking against established solutions. The results highlight the advantages of the proposed metamaterials in terms of adaptability, efficiency, and performance robustness across various operating conditions. Sensitivity analyses and comparative evaluations further underscore the superiority of the framework in addressing frequency-dependent challenges, offering significant improvements over conventional materials. A unique aspect of this research is the inclusion of natural metamaterials (NMs) as a sustainable alternative for mitigating ground vibrations. The study reviews the potential of NMs for diverse functionalities, particularly in attenuating ground vibrations in urban environments. These findings emphasize the versatility and eco-friendliness of natural materials, providing a roadmap for their development and application in achieving clean and quiet environments. The proposed framework, therefore, bridges theoretical advancements with practical applications, paving the way for resilient and sustainable solutions to noise and vibration challenges in built-up structures.

The Role of Beta-Catenin and the Wnt Signalling Pathway in Breast Cancer Initiation, Progression and Metastasis: A Literature Review
Authors: Mahanujam Arabi
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is a complex disease with significant global health implications and is characterized by heterogeneity in molecular profiles and biomarker expression. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a pivotal role in BC progression, with aberrant Wnt signaling contributing to increased tumorigenicity, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance, particularly in aggressive subtypes, such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and HER2-negative BC.
Methods: This review synthesizes recent literature on β-catenin and Wnt signaling dysregulation in BC, focusing on the triple-negative and HER2-negative subtypes. Key studies emphasizing molecular mechanisms and therapeutic implications were selected from databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar.
Results: Evidence indicates widespread Wnt/β-catenin pathway dysregulation across multiple breast cancer subtypes. This dysregulation often leads to enhanced proliferation, metastatic potential, and resistance to therapy. In triple-negative disease, nuclear β-catenin accumulation correlates strongly with aggressiveness. Additionally, crosstalk with pathways like PI3K/AKT and HER2 further augments oncogenic behavior.
Discussion: In BC, dysregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway can lead to abnormal β-catenin accumulation and activation of oncogenic genes, contributing to tumor growth, metastasis, and resistance to therapy. The Wnt pathway, which is crucial for normal cellular processes, is frequently dysregulated in BC and contributes to increased tumorigenicity, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. This review presents findings that demonstrate the intricate interactions between Wnt/ β-catenin signaling and other critical pathways, including PI3K/AKT and HER2, and elucidates how these interactions contribute to the progression of breast cancer. It addresses the impact of genetic mutations on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in BC, highlighting how these alterations contribute to tumor progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance, along with examining the role of its homolog, γ-catenin.
Conclusion: This review includes insights from recent literature on the molecular mechanisms underlying Wnt dysregulation and suggests future research directions to improve therapeutic strategies for BC. By understanding the intricate role of Wnt signaling in BC, we aimed to identify novel targets and develop more effective treatments for this challenging disease.

Published: February 2025

Wells turbines used in wave power generation have the advantage of being usable in reciprocating flow, but they also face many unsolved problems, such as self-starting performance, low efficiency, and noise. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of serrations added to symmetrical blades used in Wells turbines on stall characteristics and lift–drag ratio. In this study, large eddy simulation was employed as numerical method to clarify the spatio-temporal behavior of the flow field, including flow rate fluctuations. In addition to turbine blade modifications, this study also evaluated the effect of changes in rotor solidity on turbine performance. The results show that the serrated turbine had up to a 30% increase in torque over the normal-blade turbine. Additionally, power fluctuations caused by blade stalling were also suppressed. For a tandem arrangement of blades, the effect of wake flow from the front blades on the rear blades was evaluated. Simulations of a serrated blade cascade and turbine rotors have shown that serration processing can improve the performance of Wells turbines. It was also found that not only the interaction between serrated blades but also the serrations themselves have a significant effect on airfoil performance.

Published: February 2025

This study explores the performance of alkaline-activated geopolymer binders using industrial by-products and recycled concrete fine aggregate (RCFA) as sustainable alternatives to traditional cement. Materials such as granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), silica fume (SF), red brick powder (RBP), quick lime (QL), and RCA were utilized to develop eco-friendly binders with enhanced mechanical and durability properties. Experimental tests evaluated physical, mechanical, and microstructural characteristics, including setting times, dry density, flexural strength, and compressive strength. Advanced analysis with SEM and EDAX examined aggregate-binder bonding. Results highlighted the critical role of binder composition in determining performance. Balanced mixtures of GBFS, SF, and RBP achieved superior strength, durability, and compact microstructures, while excessive QL increased porosity, reducing effectiveness. Optimal flexural strength (4.24 MPa at 56 days) was observed for the G30/S40-L20 formulation, underscoring the importance of precise proportions. Composition influenced setting times, with SF delaying gelation and high QL content accelerating it. The findings demonstrate the viability of using RCFA and industrial by-products in sustainable construction, offering a pathway to reduce reliance on traditional cement. The study emphasizes optimizing binder formulations for strength and durability while addressing environmental impacts, encouraging further research into long-term performance under diverse conditions. This innovative approach highlights the potential for integrating recycled and industrial by-products into construction practices to achieve eco-friendly solutions and promote sustainable urban development. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-018 Full Text: PDF

Modernisasi sudah sangat berpengaruh dalam kehidupan masyarakat sekarang ini, dengan adanya era modern ini semua semua berhubungan dengan teknologi. Kebutuhan masyarakat akan listrik semakin tinggi dikarenakan penggunaan peralatan rumah tangga yang semakin berkembang dan memerlukan daya listrik.  walaupun perkembangan KWH meter semakin berkembang, terbukti masih banyak masyarakat yang menggunakan KWH listrik jenis lama atau KWH pascabayar, dimana setiap bulan masyarakat melakukan pembayaran. petugas PLN selalu datang berkunjung untuk mengambil data pada KWH Listrik tersebut, sering dijumpai petugas PLN hanya memotret atau mengambil gambar bagian pada meteren listrik tersebut, itu sebagai laporan atau data yang akan di proses nantinya, Namun bagi sebagian orang, masuknya petugas PLN ke dalam rumah untuk mencatat angka di meteran listrik dirasa mengganggu privasi terlebih lagi yang menaruh meteren listrik dalam rumah. Dari permasalah tersebut penulis menemukan ide untuk membuat sebuah alat monitoring KWH listrik dengan media kamera berbasis IoT, sehingga petugas PLN tidak perlu lagi mengambil gambar setiap bulanya kerumah masyarakat. alat ini memanfaatkan kamera ESP32-cam yang sudah di setting secara otomatis akan mengambil gambar sesuai perintah yang kita berikan kemudian hasilnya akan dikirimkan secara otomatis ke Google driveKata Kunci : Meteran listrik pascabayar, Esp32-cam, IoT, google drive

Perkembangan teknologi berkembang dengan sangat pesat. Tetapi, sampai saat ini pengeringan sepatu masih banyak yang menggunakan cara konvensional yang masih bergantung pada panas matahari. Pengeringan sepatu menggunakan panas matahari sering menemui kendala. Selain kendala cuaca yang tidak menentu, kita tidak mungkin selalu mengawasi pengeringan hingga sepatu benar-benar kering. Selain itu jika menggunakan panas matahari warna sepatu cepat memudar. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat alat sistem monitoring pengering sepatu otomatis berbasis IoT dengan memanfaatkan NodeMCU ESP8266 sebagai sistem kontrol yang dapat terhubung dengan jaringan wifi sehingga proses monitoring sepatu dapat dipantau dari jarak jauh secara real-time melalui website. Alat ini menggunakan sensor ultrasonik sebagai pendeteksi adanya sepatu dalam box, sensor DHT22 sebagai pembaca nilai suhu dan kelembaban, relay sebagai penghubung dan pemutus arus listrik ke alat, heater kaca dan bohlam sebagai sumber panas, dan kipas untuk menyebarluaskan panas di dalam ruang. Suhu ruang alat pengering sepatu diatur pada suhu jika kurang atau sama dengan 47.40°C maka relay akan off. Hasil uji alat yang di dapatkan dengan waktu pengeringan untuk jenis sepatu sneakers 60 menit dengan suhu 47.10°C, sepatu pantofel 70 menit dengan suhu 47.20°C dan sepatu kets 120 menit dengan suhu yang sudah ditargetkan yaitu kurang dari atau sama dengan 47.40°C.

Air merupakan salah satu sumber daya alam yang sangat penting bagi kehidupan manusia. Namun semakin bertambahnya penduduk maka semakin meningkat pula kebutuhan air yang harus dipenuhi. Akibat penurunan kualitas air tanah, menyebabkan banyak masyarakat yang beralih menggunakan air PDAM. Penggunaan air PDAM oleh konsumen, pada umumnya diukur dengan menggunakan meteran air atau watermeter. Untuk pengecekan jumlah penggunaan air oleh pihak PDAM dilakukan dengan cara mengirimkan petugas ke masing-masing pelanggan setiap bulan serta mencatatnya satu persatu. Cara tersebut kurang efektif dan efesien serta membutuhkan banyak tenaga dan biaya serta menghabiskan banyak waktu. Disamping perihal tersebut, pelanggan tidak bisa memantau pemakaian airnya secara langsung serta wajib menunggu petugus tiba untuk mengetahui jumlah pemakaian airnya sepanjang satu bulan. Maka dibutuhkan sebuah alat untuk memudahkan pihak dan pelanggan PDAM dalam melakukan monitoring penggunaan air sekaligus jumlah pembayarannya. Alat tersebut berupa sebuah Sistem Monitoring Penggunaan Air PDAM menggunakan teknologi Internet of Things dengan menggunakan sensor water flow yang akan mendeteksi penggunaan air yang dihabiskan dan diolah lewat Node MCU. Hasil data yang sudah diolah akan dikirim kedalam database dan dapat dilihat melalui website E-Water pada setiap akun pelanggan.

Peningkatan jumlah penduduk memicu peningkatan kebutuhan transportasi yang berimbas pada jumlah kendaraan bermotor. Akibatnya terjadi peningkatan polusi udara, terutama gangguan yang bersumber dari mesin kendaraan, klakson, dan aktivitas lalu lintas lainnya. Kebisingan ini berdampak negatif pada kualitas hidup masyarakat, terutama dalam hal gangguan tidur, penurunan kenyamanan, dan gangguan konsentrasi, khususnya di lingkungan sekolah dan perkantoran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur tingkat gangguan lalu lintas di tiga titik pengamatan: simpang empat Desa Rarang, simpang empat Desa Kalianyar, dan depan SMAN 1 Terara, menggunakan alat Sound Level Meter pada bulan September 2024. Selanjutnya nilai rata-rata gangguan (Leq) yang diperoleh selama waktu pengukuran akan dianalisis dan dibandingkan dengan baku mutu yang berlaku, dalam hal ini rekomendasi mutu yang ditetapkan oleh Menteri Kesehatan dan Mutu LHK No. 48/1996 .Hasil pengukuran menunjukkan bahwa dua dari tiga lokasi memiliki tingkat gangguan yang melebihi Batas baku mutu (60-65 dBA), sementara satu lokasi hanya memenuhi ambang batas pada tingkat gangguan terendah, namun melebihi batas pada puncaknya. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa gangguan lalu lintas di kawasan ini tergolong sebagai polusi udara yang signifikan, berdampak pada kenyamanan, kesehatan, dan lingkungan, terutama di kawasan pemukiman dan pendidikan. Temuan ini menggarisbawahi perlunya upaya mitigasi untuk mengurangi dampak gangguan dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup warga sekitar. Kata kunci : Kebisingan, Lalu Lintas, Jalan Raya, Sound Level Meter
