Vietnam has a long coastline and dense network of rivers and canal systems with various and complicated water depths of a waterway. According to data from the Department of Inland Waterways in 2019, Vietnam's waterways transport industry reached 250 million tons/year. In which coastal transport accounted for over 60 million tons/year, promoting the shipping industry and economic integration between regions, making the most of Vietnam's natural coastal conditions. In most general cases, the vessels working in the different water depths of the operational area will significantly affect the ship and wave field resistance. For the transport vessels with low speed, the research of the effect of resistance and wave field has an essential role in ensuring the primary maritime aim of energy saving and energy efficiency. Nowadays, computation fluid dynamics is a practical approach for predicting the ship's hydrodynamic features. However, many computation fluid dynamics types of research have investigated the ship resistance in deep water, which can not consider the effect of changing ship resistance with different water depths. In shallow water, the increasing pressure gradient field leads to an increase in the overall resistance. Therefore, in this study, the volume of fluid (VOF) multiphase model can show the free surface effect and wave elevation in shallow waters. The results clearly showed the success of the computational modeling of multiphase flows around the vessel (air and water). The wavefield in the computation fluid dynamics results is also suitable for related published research experiments. Besides, the resistance and wave elevation around the hull is significantly changing at different depths. In the preliminary design stage, it can apply this work to propose a suitable hull form of transport vessels for Vietnam's waterways.

Precision agriculture is now a topic that attracts many researchers due to the important of food security. In this topic, using the Unmmaed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for pesticides, monitoring and mapping are under consideration. In addition, the combination of UAV and multi-spectral camera for imaging has been extensively used for vegetation mapping in the farm. This paper aims to introduce a method for mapping fields by using the multispectral camera mount on an UAV. Ariel images have been captured by multi-spectral Sentera camera mounted on Phantom 4 Pro. Successive images, including the NDVI spectral images and NDRE spectral images with GPS information, are the output of the Sentera camera. A combination of the UAV imaging and image processing techniques were used to create the rice planting area mapping. Agisoft software was used to create the Ortho-mosaic images of NDVI spectral image and NDRE spectral image. After that, digital maps contain information about Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalised Difference Red-Edge (NDRE) were created. An observation area was created from the map to evaluate crop health by using these indices. This area included both the middle-stage rice field and the dragon fruits farm with cannels. The crop health is validated again by using the RGB aerial image. By comparing the maps and actual survey, the health of the rice fields is able to evaluate and improve the rice cultivation management. It seems that the NDRE value was the best indicator in visualizing the health of the rice field while the NDVI was better for the dragon fruits field. Utilizing these maps, field visits by farmers can be minimized and farmers can concentrate on the diseased location and give appropriate treatment.

Structures with weak storey are quite common in practice because the first storey is usually designed without partition walls to use as a car park or a hall. Meanwhile, partition walls are used to divide upper storeys into apartments or offices. As a result, the first storey is weaker than other storeys and it thus becomes vulnerable to earthquakes. Besides, soil-structure interaction (SSI) should be considered when structures are subjected to earthquakes. This paper presents the analytical results of reinforced concrete frames with weak storey subjected to earthquakes considering SSI. A three-storey reinforced concrete frame with soft first storey representing for low-rise structures was selected for analysis. The results show that patition walls redistribute the storey drifts when the structure is subjected to earthquakes. When the partition walls are not considered, the storey drift of the second storey is larger than that of the first storey. When the partition walls are considered, the drift of the first storey is largest. The storey drift of the first storey increases by nearly 50% and it is 3.4 times larger than that of the upper storeys. At the same time, the drifts of storeys with partition walls decreases sharply because the partition walls increase the stiffness of these storeys. SSI slightly increases the storey drifts by 3.2% compared with those in the case without considering SSI.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACTCassava (Manihot esculenta crantz) has a carbohydrate content of 34%, which is one of the potential commodities in Indonesia. Widely, cassava is used by the people of Indonesia as a staple food and can be processed directly into various local food products. Modern modification of cassava flour currently uses technology that includes physical, chemical or microbiological modifications. Mocaf (Modified Cassava Flour) is a modification of cassava flour using a fermentation technique. The modification process of cassava flour aims to change the characteristics of the flour produced. Changes in the characteristics of the modified cassava flour mocaf encourage its use to become more varied. The stages of making mocaf flour are: cutting / slicing cassava into chips with a thickness ranging from 0.5-1 cm, soaking and fermenting, draining and drying, and the final stage of milling / flouring. The fermentation process is an important process in making mocaf, fermentation involves microbes from both bacteria and fungi. One of the bacteria that is widely used is lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species Lactobacillus plantarum. The fermentation process lasts for 36-72 hours, resulting in an increase in the protein content of mocaf flour. The results obtained by substitution of mocaf flour to wheat flour in wet bread and noodle products ranged from 20%-40%, for cookies products it could reach 100%. Keywords: Fermentation, Mocaf, Cassava

Published: March 2023

Public awareness of the food quality which is they consume is increasing. Food consumption becomes more varied by not only consuming carbohydrates, protein and fat sources, but balanced with the consumption of fruits as a source of vitamins. One way to maintain the quality of fruits during storage is to use edible coatings. Edible coatings made from hydrocolloid materials such as starch as natural coating materials, are non-toxic and safe for health so that starch-based edible coatings are feasible to be developed. One of them is arrowroot starch. Improving the coating function is done by adding antimicrobial ingredients, one of which is lemongrass extract. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of antimicrobial edible coating on the physica and chemical characteristics of strawberryes during storage. The experimental design used in this study was a factorial completely randomized design, with the treatment of Antimicrobial Concentration (A) with five levels of treatment, namely: A1 = 0%, A2 = 0.1%, A3 = 0.2%; A4 = 0.3% and A5 = 0.4% and Storage Time, namely B1 = 0 days; B2 = 2 days; B3 = 4 days and B4 = 6 days. Each treatment was repeated twice to obtain an experimental unit of 5 x 4 x 2 = 40 experimental units. Product analysis carried out was weight loss, texture and total dissolved solids. Based on the data obtained, the use of antimicrobial concentration and storage time affect the results of the analysis. The longer the storage, the weight loss increased, the texture became softer and the total dissolved solids decreased.Keywords: antimicrobia, arrowroot, edible coating, lemongrass, strawberry

Kapılarını Açmayan Kent: İç Göç Filmlerinde İstanbul (1980-2006)
Authors: Balcı Şeyma
Published: March 2023

Bu çalışma, Türk sinemasında 1980-2009 yılları aralığında çekilen on iç göç filminde ‘göçmen kenti’ İstanbul’un nasıl temsil edildiğini irdelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Film çözümlemesinde iç göç sürecinin tarihsel sosyolojik verileri (göçmenlerin enformel sektörde çalışması, gecekonduda yaşaması vb.) ve trope’lar kullanılmıştır. Kentin kapılarını açmaması, kent ve kadın özdeşliği, hemşehrilerin göçmenlere bir süre sonra kapılarını kapaması filmlerde sık tekrarlanan trope’lardır. Kültürel temsiller olarak iç göç filmlerinde kent/İstanbul; ölümler, kayıplar ve mücadeleyle özdeştir. Kente sadece trenle değil, çeşitli ulaşım araçlarıyla gelen göçmenleri İstanbul’da bekleyen genelde ölüm olur. Yaşayanların değil ölülerin kentidir İstanbul! Film kahramanları tarihsel ve sosyolojik gelişmelere koşut bir biçimde gecekondu ve apartmanda bir yaşam sürerken bir yandan da film kahramanlarının evsizlik hâlleri de göze çarpar. Göç edenlerin kente geliş sebepleri çeşitli olsa da iş temel nedendir ancak bulunan işler geçici ve güvencesizdir.
КОМПОЗИЦІЙНЕ ОЗДОБЛЕННЯ ОПЛІЧЧ ФЕЛОНІВ КІН. ХХ – ПОЧ. ХХІ СТ. ІКОНОГРАФІЯ БОГОРОДИЧНОГО ЦИКЛУ
Authors: Сорока Оксана Василівна
Published: March 2023

Марієлогічна тема релігійних образів використовувалася у церковному та народному мистецтві України дуже обширно. Позаяк до кожного святково-обрядового дня у році, парафії мають своїх покровителів, з яких найсвятішою вважається Богородиця, то безсумнівно образ Марії посідає чільне місце в усіх видах сакрального мистецтва. Окрім мальованих ікон (церковних та хатніх), зображення Богородиці спостерігаються у церковному текстилі: хоругвах, плащаницях, покрівцях та священичих ризах. Закономірним залишається, що оздоблення священичого вбрання підпорядковує собі вплив релігійних традицій та вподобань майстрів. Таким чином вишивані іконографічні композиції оплічч фелонів, формуючись поряд з мальованою іконою, увібрали у себе не тільки загальноприйняті канонічні (церковні), але й народні особливості. Фелон – це верхня риза священичого одягу, прикрашена орнаментальним та сюжетним оздобленням. Орнаментальні композиції побудовані з геометричних, рослинних чи комбінованих мотивів та розташовуються по всьому полотнищу верхньої одежі. На опліччі фелона розміщується невелике фігурне зображення обрамлене здебільшого у формі декоративного хреста, або ромба, рідше – кола, квадрата. Означені орнаментальні форми утворені з тих самих мотивів, які прикрашають інші частини ризи. Саме вишиті композиційні оздоблення з сюжетним зображенням Богородиці на опліччях фелонів є обʼєктом нашого дослідження. Отже, у даній статті розглядаються вишиті іконографічні сюжети Богородичного циклу, які найчастіше спостерігаються у священичому облаченні західних областей України впродовж кінця ХХ – початку ХХІ ст. Аналізуються чотири найпоширеніші образи Богородиці: Провідниця (Одигітрія), Елеуса, Покрова та Оранта.
China’s concept of strategic autonomy is about dual circulation
Authors: García-Herrero Alicia
Published: March 2023

China’s dual circulation could be considered a form of strategic autonomy but it differs in many aspects. First and foremost, China’s dual circulation has as ultimate objective China’s self-reliance or, in other words, China’s reduced dependence from Western imports, specially technology or any other which can create bottlenecks for the Chinese economy. While the EU’s concept of strategic autonomy also pays attention to the resilience of supply chains, its ultimat objective is not self-reliance, as it focuses on co-dependence, as has been clarified by the addition «open» strategic autonomy. Finally, China’s dual circulation also aims at fostering export markets beyond China’s already very high share of global exports which inevitable increases the world dependence on China.

Occlusions of the basilar artery (BA), which are typically caused by thromboembolism and atherosclerosis, may account for as much as 27% of posterior circulation ischemic strokes. The symptoms of BA occlusion can range from temporary weakness or paraesthesia to near-complete paralysis, leading to a high risk of morbidity and mortality. CT and MRI are the imaging modalities of choice for identifying and locating the infarct area, ruling out any other lesions, and detecting vascular abnormalities. The combination of thrombectomy and stenting has been shown to increase the safety and durability of angioplasty without causing noticeably negative side effects, and it may be utilized as the first line of treatment for BA stenosis or occlusion in acute stroke.
Pseudo-aneurysm of Distal Aortic Stump – A Manifestation of Aortoenteric Fistula
Authors: Jaafar Mohd Najib
Published: March 2023

Background: Secondary aortoenteric fistula (AEF) is rare but devastating complication of abdominal aortic reconstruction surgery for aortic aneurysm. Most patients presented with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. CTA abdomen is usually performed to attain the diagnosis. However, AEF has invariable appearances on CT where mostly are non-specific and similar to perigraft infection (PGI). A case of secondary AEF following multiple series of aortic surgery, with CT manifestation of recurrent pseudo-aneurysm of aortic stump, is presented.
Case Presentation: 65 years old man who had undergone series of aortic reconstructive surgery for infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm presented acutely for hematemesis and per rectal bleeding. Initial CTA abdomen revealed pseudoaneurysm of the distal aortic stump, which was successfully embolized with coils. However, the symptoms recurred and repeated CTA showed new pseudo-aneurysm but no typical findings of AEF. Emergency laparotomy confirmed AEF at duodenojejunal junction that was repaired with primary closure. Unfortunately, patient died 3 days later due to multiple post-operative complications.
Conclusion: Presence of pseudo-aneurysm with background of perigraft infection should raise the suspicion of AEF, especially in patients with history of aortic intervention that presented with gastro-intestinal bleeding. CTA abdomen is invaluable in providing the diagnosis of AEF despite its variable manifestations.

Published: March 2023

Background: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is common in aging men with worldwide prevalence at 20-62%, while Malaysian prevalence was 39.3% (2001) and increased at 8% per decade. In surgical treatment of BPH, Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard. Other surgical options would mostly also require general anesthesia (GA). Therefore, more Local-Anaesthesia (LA) based options should be made available for patients who are not fit or unwilling to be under GA. Those currently available LA-based procedure has shown promising results including prostatic stents and trans-urethral lifts, but have drawbacks due to being expensive, not widely available, less suitable in median lobe enlargement or may cause complications including migration, overgrowth of prostatic tissue or foreign-body related complications which may require GA for their treatment. Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE), initially an LA-based emergency treatment option for persistent life-threatening hematuria from a bleeding BPH, now has been proven to be a safe elective treatment. In Malaysia this novel technique was first reported in 2017 for treatment of post TURP intractable hematuria.
Methods and Material: We retrospectively evaluated all 13 catheter-dependent BPH patients in two tertiary urology centres treated with PAE from April 2019 until December 2021 to assess post-treatment efficacy.
Results: One patient failed removal of catheter within 3 months post-procedure but 12 out of 13 patients safely got their catheter removed within 1-3 months and resulted in significant IPSS improvement.
Conclusion: PAE is a safe and effective treatment option for BPH patients of the Malaysian population but needs prospective evaluation.
A Quantitative Approach to the Study on Length-Frequency Relationship of English Patterns
Authors: Cheng Yi
Published: March 2023

As a master of lexicology and corpus-driven linguistic studies, pattern grammar shares the features of concern on collocation and approximation to natural language, which provides an optimization idea for the extensively used phrase structure grammar and dependency grammar in natural language processing. This research adopts the methods of quantitative linguistics, taking patterns as the research focus to explore the length-frequency relationship of patterns, verify Zipf law and synergic linguistic model in respect of patterns, and analyze the usage characteristics of patterns in different registers. The results have demonstrated that Zipf's law is also applicable to patterns, and the synergic linguistic model shows a preferable goodness of fit on the description of the pattern length-frequency relations. This study provides bidirectional contributions to pattern grammar and the synergic relationship between length and frequency. In addition, it offers a refinement method for the application of patterns in different registers.

Authors: Sholihah Hani , Nurhayati Sri
Published: March 2023

This study aims to find a method of Islamic parenting styles, as an effort to prevent violence against children in schools. With the literature study method, verses from the Quran and Hadith are studied to obtain a formulation of Islamic parenting in Islamic families. The formulation is then applied as an effort to protect children in the school environment. The research found that parenting in Islamic families is carried out as early as possible before a child is born. The parenting style not only includes physical and intellectual aspects, but also includes emotional and spiritual aspects. The verses of the Quran and Hadith hint at the values of education in the Islamic family which include aspects of “aqidah”, worship, and morals. The Quran also mentions that parenting should be done by giving role model and teaching wisdom to children. These educational values can shape children into a piety person, has the nature of “ihsan” and “istiqomah” and far from any violence attitudes. Children are also educated to not only be individual children, but also to have concern for others. With comprehensive aspects of education through Islamic parenting in Islamic families, children are educated to become individuals of character and noble character. Thus, acts of violence against children in schools can be prevented.

This study was dedicated to evaluating the durability of the carbonatic stones of Crac des Chevaliers castle against salt crystallization. Crac des Chevaliers castle is a UNESCO world heritage site located in Syria and is considered one of the most important crusader castles built in the 12th century. Salt efflorescence is a common decay type detected on the stone blocks of this building, so six dolomite stone lithotypes with various structures tested under salt aging in three different salt solutions; sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and sodium sulfate. Among those lithotypes were two microbioclastic wackstone and four microcrystalline dolomite. The microbioclastic wackstone had low open porosity (18 and 11 v/v%) compared to the microcrystalline dolomites of about 28v/v% open porosity. Two of the microcrystalline dolomite lithotypes had bimodal pore networks and around 4 v/v% closed pores, however, the other two exhibited very small closed porosity (around 0.35 v/v%). The results revealed that even though the great effect of the open porosity on the durability of the specimens, the closed porosity also had a major role and the weathering form depended on the salt composition and the stone porosity properties. The primary decay type of the specimens in sodium sulfate solution was granular disintegration while pitted surfaces formed in sodium chloride solution, and the exfoliation of the stone surface into thin layers was observable after the aging with magnesium sulfate solution. The effect of NaCl crystallization on the specimen was not as aggressive as that of the sulfates.

Chociaż utrudniony dostęp do kapitału jest główną barierą rozwoju sektora małych
i średnich przedsiębiorstw (MŚP), we współczesnej gospodarce odgrywają one
szczególną rolę. Mimo to badania struktury ich kapitału są prowadzone rzadziej
niż wśród dużych przedsiębiorstw. Celem artykułu jest zbadanie, która teoria
struktury kapitału najlepiej wyjaśnia decyzje finansowe MŚP w Polsce. Dodatkowo
podjęto próbę identyfikacji głównych determinant struktury kapitału na poziomie
przedsiębiorstwa. Materiał badawczy obejmuje dane finansowe z 2820 MŚP w Polsce
działających w latach 2011–2018. Do przeprowadzenia analizy wykorzystano
statyczne i dynamiczne modele panelowe. Badanie wykazało, że większość MŚP
w Polsce zachowuje się zgodnie z teorią hierarchii źródeł finansowania. Wyniki
testowania teorii substytucji wskazują jednak, że może istnieć grupa firm poszukujących optymalnej struktury kapitału zgodnie z założeniami tej teorii. Szybkość
dostosowań do docelowej struktury kapitału wynosi ok. 24%. Badanie potwierdziło
dodatnią zależność między zadłużeniem MŚP a wielkością przedsiębiorstwa. Ten
sam kierunek zależności stwierdzono w przypadku tempa jego wzrostu. Przeciwny
kierunek zidentyfikowano dla udziału aktywów trwałych w aktywach ogółem oraz
płynności finansowej.
Natural Capital Disclosure for Integrated Reporting

The concept of integrated reporting assumes that the value of the enterprise and its future development is determined not only by financial but also by human, intellectual, social, and natural capital. Traditional financial indicators are not enough to fully assess the company's investment attractiveness and sustainable development. The article aims to structure financial and non-financial information about natural capital, which can be disclosed in integrated reports to obtain future economic and social effects. Natural capital is the used natural resources and ecosystem services that support people's lives and well-being. Unlike financial capital, which can be measured in monetary units, natural capital does not have a standard unit of measurement. It can include elements such as soil quality, availability of water resources, biodiversity, availability of natural landscapes, and much more. Disclosure of information about natural capital in integrated reporting may include the following elements: assessment of natural resources used by the company; the cost of ecosystem services, namely air and water purification measures, control of soil purity, storage of water resources, flood control; assessment of the impact of the company's activities on the environment; minimization of the impact on the environment through the use of advanced technologies in the energy sector and resource-saving technologies; environmental risks and threats. An environmentally-oriented approach in the company's development strategy will have an ecological, social, and economic effect since resource-saving and energy-saving technologies significantly reduce the costs of activities and the cost of products. Companies demonstrating their commitment to sustainable development receive more opportunities to attract investment and participate in government programs and projects.

Digital technologies are actively penetrating the life of every person, reducing labor costs while requiring a more intellectual, more creative approach to solving problems from a person. Information technologies also enable automating and optimizing settlement and accounting operations. However, using information technologies in accounting is only one of many challenges. Ukraine has declared a European integration direction for the development of the economy, which involves bringing accounting processes and procedures into compliance with the requirements of European standards. The article aims to analyze the main challenges and perspectives of accounting development in the context of Ukraine's integration intentions and to develop a conceptual model of accounting development considering the state's European integration intentions. The article's analysis of scientific studies on the development of accounting provides a thorough insight into identifying its main trends: digitalization of accounting processes, harmonization of accounting regulatory acts, unification and consolidation of reporting with compliance of European standards. The component structure of the accounting development model is substantiated, taking into account the European integration intentions of the state, and the steps for its implementation are also proposed. Attention is focused on the need to intensify the standardization of accounting procedures to the requirements of the European space, training specialists to interact with digital accounting and information processing tools, and creating an optimal internal environment within business entities favorable for accelerating digital transformations. Modernization of accounting, considering the European integration intentions of Ukraine, will contribute to increasing the efficiency of enterprise management and the investment attractiveness of business entities.

The article describes the methodological aspects of the audit of tourist rent, which is one of the sources of income for tourist enterprises. The article aims to develop a method of identifying tourist rent by the subject of financial and economic activity auditing. In order to achieve it, regulatory documents, acts of professional regulation of auditors' activities, and information on the performance of tasks to provide confidence to users of financial statements by independent specialists were used. The specified information was processed by applying such research methods as bibliographic analysis, regulatory analysis, observation, and data systematization. It was found that the emergence and existence of tourist rent are determined by the presence of a tangible or intangible asset used by a tourism industry enterprise. Taking this into account, the audit of the existence of tourist rent involves audit evidence obtaining both the existence of actual rent cash flows and the presence of related assets. The main parameters for which evidence should be obtained are characteristics that allow identification of the asset itself, cash flows that have signs of tourist rent, as well as their mutual identification. For this purpose, taking into account the recommendations of the International Quality Control, Auditing, Review, Other Assurance, and Related Services Pronouncements, the audit procedures that can be applied are defined, and their direction is specified in the context of performing the audit tasks of the availability of tourist rent. The need to physically inspect assets, document and record inspection, external confirmation, inquiry, and analytical procedures was substantiated. The study results allow for optimization of the auditor's work based on the ratio of the costs of resources required to perform the procedures and ensuring the necessary level of trust in the audit results on the part of information users.
Kālikā Purāṇa’daki Satī Miti Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: DEVECİ Beyza Aybike
Published: March 2023

Her toplumun kendisine ait mitleri vardır. Bu mitler zamanın başlangıcında veya sonrasında gerçekleşen, tanrısal-yarı tanrısal varlıklara ait olaylar hakkında olduğu gibi bir şeylerin kökeni veya nedenini de anlatır. Mitler bu konuları anlatırken de ait olduğu toplum hakkında önemli bilgiler verir. Başlangıçta sözlü olarak aktarılan mitler daha sonra kayıt altına alınır. Böylece zaman içerisinde bazı mitlerin toplumundaki değişikliklere göre ya değişmeden birer anlatı olarak kaldığı ya da yeniden şekillenerek anlatılmaya devam ettiği görülür. Bu konuda Hindu mitolojisi de hem verdiği bilgiler hem de zaman içinde farklı şekillerde anlatılmaya devam ettiğinden dikkate değer bir çalışma alanı sunar. Bu çalışmada Ārilerin Hindistan’a gelmesi, Dravidlerle karşılaşması ve Hindu dini düşüncesinde yeni düşüncelerin çıkması sonucu toplumda meydana gelen değişim Kālikā Purāṇa’da yer alan Satī miti üzerinden gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır. Ayrıca mitlerin özellikleri ve işlevleri açısından söz konusu mit değerlendirilecektir.
