Authors: Dursun Asiye , Mercan Oğuz
Published: June 2023

Dünyayı etkisi altına alan COVID-19 salgını bireyleri sadece fiziksel açıdan değil aynı zamanda psikolojik açıdan da etkilemektedir. Salgının etkileri düşünüldüğünde baş etme ve yaşamın etkililiği gibi kavramlar önem kazanmaktadır. Ayrıca uyum sağlama yeteneğine ihtiyaç duyulan salgın döneminde aşkınlık kavramı da dikkat çekmektedir. Çünkü aşkınlık, kendi iç sınırlarını aşmayı, bir çevre ve başkalarıyla ilişkili olmayı, geçmiş ile gelecek arasında şimdiyi anlamaya uyum sağlamayı içinde barındırmaktadır. Bu değişkenlerin ise salgın döneminde hem baş etme hem de yaşamın etkililiği ile ilgili olabileceği düşünülebilir. Bu bilgiler ışığında bu çalışmada da, yetişkinlerin salgınla baş etme ve yaşamın etkililiği (zihinsel esneklik) ilişkisinde aşkınlığın aracı rolü ele alınmaktadır. Araştırmaya ilişkin veriler gönüllü şekilde katılan 313 yetişkinden online olarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmada veriler Salgınla Başa Çıkma Ölçeği, Yaşam Etkiliği Ölçeği ve Aşkınlık Ölçeği’den elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, salgınla başa çıkma ölçeği puanları ile yaşamın etkililiği ölçeğinin zihinsel esneklik alt ölçeği ve aşkınlık ölçeği puanları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca yaşamın etkililiği ölçeğinin zihinsel esneklik alt ölçeği puanları ile aşkınlık ölçeği arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte salgınla başa çıkma ile yaşamın etkililiği arasında aşkınlığın aracı bir rol üstlendiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular alanyazın bağlamında tartışılarak, araştırmacılara ve uygulayıcılara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
Zawahiri’s General Guidelines and the Collapse of Al Qaeda’s Levant Network
Authors: Celso Anthony N
Published: June 2023

This article addresses the factors leading to Al Qaeda’s continued fragmentation and the collapse of its efforts to create a jihadi state in the Levant. It does so in two parts. First, we look at Al Qaeda’s development of its far enemy strategy that deviated from past jihadi warfare strategies. Second, we examine Al Qaeda’s dysfunctional response to the Arab Spring. The protests untethering of Mideast states and its inflammation of sectarian tensions accelerated Al Qaeda’s transformation into a fractured network committed to localized (increasingly sectarian) insurgencies. After bin Laden’s 2011 killing, Zawahiri in September 2013 released his General Guidelines for the Work of Jihad to tie Al Qaeda’s branches localized insurgencies to a wider struggle against the Zionist-Crusader dominated world order.1 He failed to do so. Upon exploring jihadism’s splintering into three discordant factions represented by Al Qaeda’s far enemy focus, ISIS sectarianism and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) localized insurgencies, this article concludes that this development has led to an ineffective but dangerously resilient global jihadi movement.

Duoport lotniczy jako sposób efektywnego rozwoju infrastruktury lotniczej – doświadczenia międzynarodowe i krajowe
Authors: Wardak Tomasz
Published: June 2023

Ekspansja linii niskokosztowych w ostatnich kilku dekadach znacząco wpłynęła na wymogi i kierunki rozwoju infrastruktury lotniczej, otwierając szanse rozwoju dla wielu lotnisk regionalnych i byłych lotnisk wojskowych. W drugiej fazie rozwoju linie niskokosztowe zwiększyły swoją obecność w głównych lotniskach. Model działania tanich linii ewoluuje, podobnie jak modele linii tradycyjnych i czarterowych. Za tymi zmianami podąża rozwój i zmiany w infrastrukturze lotniskowej. Modelowa infrastruktura przystosowana do obsługi linii niskokosztowych jest nakierowana na zmniejszenie kosztu i obsługi linii lotniczych oraz przyspieszenie czasu obsługi samolotów – jest zatem mniejsza i prostsza, pozbawiona niektórych elementów, np. rękawów w terminalach. Podobnie czas i komfort dojazdu do centrum aglomeracji nie jest tak istotny, jak w przypadku lotnisk obsługujących tradycyjne linie. Spełnienie wymogów tanich linii wpływa na zmiany w kształtowaniu systemów lotniskowych obsługujących metropolie. Na świecie realizowane są różne modele rozwoju rynku lotniczego – zależy to od wielkości i specyfiki rynku, a przede wszystkich od uwarunkowań społecznych i środowiskowych związanych z nowymi inwestycjami lotniczymi. W kilku miejscach na świecie, w odpowiedzi na rozwój segmentu low cost, ukształtowały się systemy typu duoport, w których jedno z lotnisk skoncentrowane jest na obsłudze ruchu tradycyjnego, a drugie na obsłudze linii niskokosztowych. Jednocześnie kilka takich projektów jest realizowanych. Na podstawie tych doświadczeń można skonstruować optymalny model duoportu, który umożliwiałby rozwój rynku lotniczego, w tym zarówno rozwój hubu miejscowego przewoźnika flagowego, jak i rozwój segmentu niskokosztowego. Model ten zakłada specjalizację obu lotnisk, współpracę między nimi, odpowiednio atrakcyjne położenie lotniska drugorzędnego (obsługującego linie niskokosztowe), a także elastyczność systemu umożliwiającą adaptację poszczególnych jego elementów do zmieniających się warunków rynkowych. Układ warszawskiego duoportu składającego się z Lotniska Chopina i Lotniska Modlin trzeba określić jako daleki od optymalnego. Zdecydował o tym przede wszystkim brak długofalowego wsparcia polskiego państwa dla tego modelu i będący tego rezultatem brak współpracy między dwoma lotniskami. Jednak istnieją obiektywne przesłanki, dzięki którym warszawski duoport może stać się efektywny – oba lotniska mają możliwość zwiększenia przepustowości i ich położenie wobec obsługiwanej aglomeracji jest optymalne. Model ten może być więc atrakcyjną i wartą szczegółowych analiz alternatywą wobec projektu budowy nowego centralnego lotniska w ramach realizowanego obecnie projektu CPK.

Authors: Sokolskaya Oksana , Kaysheva Arina
Published: June 2023

This article is devoted to the problem of formation of thermal comfort of the surface air layer in the southern city of the Russian Federation Krasnodar in the summer. Indicators of relative air temperature, taking into account the relative humidity in the summer for different types of buildings of the city were determined. During research tempera-ture anomalies in certain parts of the city, the cause of which are architectural and planning and volumetric features of the existing buildings of the city of Krasnodar, and also a degree of planting of the territory with different types of buildings were revealed.
According to the obtained data we derived the values of the heat index, according to which in the park areas ex-clusively the lower limit of the range of the heat index value is comfortable, with the upper value in the park areas and in the conditions of the estate development with a long stay outside and / or physical activity is overworked.
In the territory of the historical center of Krasnodar, as well as in the territory of multi-storey residential districts, the nature of the thermal impact, according to the heat index means that with prolonged outdoor exposure or physical activity in this area, sun stroke, vascular spasms from overheating are possible.
The maximum unfavorable indicators of heat impact on people are observed in the areas of large industrial zones and in the pavilions of the exhibition center of Krasnodar. Here with prolonged exposure or physical activity there is a high probability of sunstroke, vasospasms from overheating.
In the result it is established, that for reduction of thermal loads in a hot period for the city of Krasnodar at for-mation of volumetric-planning and architectural-building structure of building should be applied a number of actions for reduction of thermal loadings in a hot period on the person among the city environment, to them belong: optimum density and percent of building, scale gardening of territory, use of the developed system of water constructions, de-velopment of aeration mode among city building by means of various town-planning environments.
CONCEPT DESIGN FOR BUILDING OF PRESCHOOL
Authors: D’yachkova Olga , Talerkina Alina , Slobozhan Aleksandra
Published: June 2023

The modern task of architectural and structural design is the use of «green» building technologies. However, the problems of their practical implementation at this stage of development of urban planning in Russian cities have been studied insufficiently. In order to develop «green» building technologies a set of issues of providing green spaces for kindergarten buildings, including design proposals in terms of architectural, space-planning, structural and techno-logical solutions for the arrangement of built-in and built in group playgrounds, placed on the «green» roofs, are con-sidered. Options for the organization of blocks of group playgrounds for a separately standing on a separate land plot building of a preschool educational organization of general type (educational organization which carries out as the main purpose of its activities educational activities under educational programs of preschool education, supervision and care of children; implementing a general developmental and (or) combined educational program for all groups) are proposed for discussion. Two variants of group occupancy - 10 and 25 children - are under consideration. Vari-ants of design-projects of «green» roofs for playgrounds for groups of children under three years old and for groups of children from three to seven years old have been developed. Monolithic reinforced concrete slab cover is designed and calculated for the pedestrian load, taking into account the play and sports equipment, as well as stationary greenery of intensive and semi-intensive types. In the field of «green» construction technologies there is a need to develop both individual typical solutions and design solutions of buildings of repeated application. It is reasonable to develop re-use buildings in the wall and frame construction schemes.

Authors: Joshi Ashish , Mohan Surapaneni Krishna , Pandya Apurva Kumar , Grover Ashoo , Kaur Harpreet , Gupta Mansi , Aurora Heemanshu , Bhatt Ashruti
Published: June 2023

Background

Health inequity is interlinked with the good health and well-being of an individual. Health inequity can be due to various socioeconomic factors like income levels or social status. Digital health interventions have the potential to reduce the existing health inequities.

Objective

This study aims to identify determinants of social, economic, and health inequity in diverse settings to enhance healthy eating and active living. It further aims to design and develop a digital health intervention HEAL (Healthy Eating Active Living) that incorporates a human-centered design framework in order to improve healthy eating and active living among rural and urban population groups in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Methods

A prospective, 3-year cohort study will be conducted. This study aims to recruit 6350 individuals across rural and urban settings of Chennai. A total of 11 sites have been selected for participation in the study. Data on sociodemographic characteristics; economic inequity; HEAL profile; depression, anxiety, and stress; well-being; sources of health information; perceived access to health care; health literacy; navigation of health literacy; and satisfaction with the health system will be gathered. This study would help to explore the determinants of social, economic, and health inequity across multiple sites. SAS (version 9.3; SAS Institute Inc) will be used for data analysis, and results will be reported as 95% CI and P values. This study’s findings will guide the design and development of a tailored, human-centered digital health intervention to enhance the health and well-being of Chennai’s population groups.

Results

As of December 2024, the literature review for the development of the intervention has been completed. The recruitment for the baseline data collection will begin shortly, followed by the development of HEAL intervention.

Effectiveness of Digital Health Interventions Containing Game Components for the Self-management of Type 2 Diabetes: Systematic Review
Authors: Ossenbrink Linda , Haase Tina , Timpel Patrick , Schoffer Olaf , Scheibe Madlen , Schmitt Jochen , Deckert Stefanie , Harst Lorenz
Published: June 2023

Background

Games and game components have become a major trend in the realm of digital health research and practice as they are assumed to foster behavior change and thereby improve patient-reported and clinical outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective

The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and evaluate the current evidence on the effectiveness of digital health interventions containing game components on behavioral, patient-reported, and clinical outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods

An electronic search was conducted in MEDLINE and PsycINFO in April 2020; updated in April 2022; and supplemented by additional searches via Google Scholar, Web of Science (which was used for forward citation tracking), and within the references of the included records. Articles were identified using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. In total, 2 reviewers independently conducted title, abstract, and full-text screening and then individually performed a critical appraisal of all the included studies using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool version 2. A consensus was reached through discussion.

Results

Of 2325 potentially relevant titles (duplicates excluded), 10 (0.43%) randomized controlled trials were included in this review. Quality assessment revealed a high risk of bias for all randomized controlled trials except for 10% (1/10), with performance bias due to the lack of blinding being the major source of bias. There is evidence suggesting that digital health interventions containing game components can substantially improve motivation for physical activity (1/1, 100% of the studies dealing with PA motivation), exercise intensity (3/5, 60%), dietary behavior (4/4, 100%), health literacy (1/3, 33%), mental quality of life (2/2, 100%), glycated hemoglobin level (2/6, 33%), BMI (1/3, 33%), fasting plasma glucose level (1/2, 50%), waist circumference (1/1, 100%), and aerobic capacity (1/1, 100%).

Conclusions

Published studies indicated that digital health interventions containing game components might improve health behavior patterns, quality of life, and clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the intervention types and outcomes studied were heterogeneous, and study quality was mostly low, which translates to ambiguous results. Future research should focus on sound methodology and reporting as well as on identifying game components that contribute to significant positive effects.

Supporting Adolescents With HIV in South Africa Through an Adherence-Supporting App: Mixed Methods Beta-Testing Study (Preprint)
Authors: Mulawa Marta I , Mtukushe Bulelwa , Knippler Elizabeth T , Matiwane Mluleki , Al-Mujtaba Maryam , Muessig Kathryn E , Hoare Jacqueline , Hightow-Weidman Lisa B
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND

Novel smartphone app–delivered interventions have the potential to improve HIV treatment adherence among adolescents with HIV, although such interventions are limited. Our team has developed Masakhane Siphucule Impilo Yethu (MASI; Xhosa for “Let's empower each other and improve our health”), a smartphone app–delivered intervention to improve treatment adherence among adolescents with HIV in South Africa. MASI was adapted to the South African cultural context using the HealthMpowerment platform, an evidence-based digital health intervention developed for and with youth in the United States.

OBJECTIVE

We conducted this beta-testing study to (1) explore the initial usability of MASI, (2) examine engagement and experiences using MASI features, and (3) inform refinements to the app and intervention implementation plan prior to a subsequent pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT).

METHODS

This study was conducted from August 2021 to December 2021 in Cape Town, South Africa. Beta-testing participants received access to MASI for 3 weeks. A mixed methods approach was used, with brief questionnaires and semistructured in-depth interviews conducted prior to app installation and after 1 week to 2 weeks of app testing. Engagement with MASI was measured through analysis of back-end app paradata, and follow-up in-depth interview guides were tailored to each participant based on their app use.

RESULTS

Participants in the beta-testing study (6 male participants, 6 female participants; ages 16-19 years) collectively spent 4.3 hours in MASI, averaging 21.4 minutes per participant over the 3-week period (range 1-51.8 minutes). Participants logged into MASI an average of 24.1 (range 10-75) times during the study period. The mean System Usability Scale score was 69.5 (SD 18), which is considered slightly above average for digital health apps. Thematic analysis of qualitative results revealed generally positive experiences across MASI features, although opportunities to refine the app and intervention delivery were identified.

CONCLUSIONS

Initial usability of MASI was high, and participants described having a generally positive experience across MASI features. Systematically analyzing paradata and using the interview findings to explore participant experiences allowed us to gain richer insights into patterns of participant engagement, enabling our team to further enhance MASI. The results from this study led to a few technological refinements to improve the user experience. Enhancements were also made to the intervention implementation plan in preparation for a pilot RCT. Lessons learned from the conduct of this beta-testing study may inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of similar app-delivered interventions in the future.
Participatory Disease Surveillance for the Early Detection of Cholera-Like Diarrheal Disease Outbreaks in Rural Villages in Malawi: Prospective Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Valerio Mariana Gasparoto Pereira , Laher Beverly , Phuka John , Lichand Guilherme , Paolotti Daniela , Leal Neto Onicio
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND

Cholera-like diarrheal disease (CLDD) outbreaks are complex and influenced by environmental factors, socioeconomic conditions, and population dynamics, leading to limitations in traditional surveillance methods. In Malawi, cholera is considered an endemic disease. Its epidemiological profile is characterized by seasonal patterns, often coinciding with the rainy season when contamination of water sources is more likely. However, the outbreak that began in March 2022 has extended to the dry season, with deaths reported in all 29 districts. It is considered the worst outbreak in the past 10 years.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of participatory surveillance (PS) using interactive voice response (IVR) technology for the early detection of CLDD outbreaks in Malawi.

METHODS

This longitudinal cohort study followed 740 households in rural settings in Malawi for 24 weeks. The survey tool was designed to have 10 symptom questions collected every week. The proxies’ rationale was related to exanthematic, ictero-hemorragica for endemic diseases or events, diarrhea and respiratory/targeting acute diseases or events, and diarrhea and respiratory/targeting seasonal diseases or events. This work will focus only on the CLDD as a proxy for gastroenteritis and cholera. In this study, CLDD was defined as cases where reports indicated diarrhea combined with either fever or vomiting/nausea.

RESULTS

During the study period, our data comprised 16,280 observations, with an average weekly participation rate of 35%. Maganga TA had the highest average of completed calls, at 144.83 (SD 10.587), while Ndindi TA had an average of 123.66 (SD 13.176) completed calls. Our findings demonstrate that this method might be effective in identifying CLDD with a notable and consistent signal captured over time (R2=0.681404). Participation rates were slightly higher at the beginning of the study and decreased over time, thanks to the sensitization activities rolled out at the CBCCs level. In terms of the attack rates for CLDD, we observed similar rates between Maganga TA and Ndindi TA, at 16% and 15%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

PS has proven to be valuable for the early detection of epidemics. IVR technology is a promising approach for disease surveillance in rural villages in Africa, where access to health care and traditional disease surveillance methods may be limited. This study highlights the feasibility and potential of IVR technology for the timely and comprehensive reporting of disease incidence, symptoms, and behaviors in resource-limited settings.
Relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamine D and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Tkach S.M. , Pankiv V.I. , Dorofeev A.E.
Published: June 2023

Background. Today, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a very common condition that affects ~ 25% of the world’s population. The prevalence of NAFLD is expected to increase further in the coming years due to the obesity pandemic, rising incidence of diabetes and other factors. The search for modifiable risk factors for NAFLD is relevant and urgent to prevent the spread, morbidity and progression of this disease. Recent studies have shown that vitamin D may be a risk factor, which, due to its pleiotropic effects, modulates liver inflammation and fibrogenesis and can improve the liver response to insulin. But there is no definitive opinion on the relationship between vitamin D level and the risk of NAFLD. The purpose of the study was to investigate the serum level of 25(OH)D in patients with NAFLD and to establish its possible relationship with the development and progression of this disease. Materials and methods. A total of 120 patients (78women, 42 men) with a diagnosis of NAFLD aged 18 to 60years were examined. The diagnosis of NAFLD was made based on multimodal ultrasound with steatometry and elastography, increased transaminases in 2 or more measurements, the presence of risk factors such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or obesity. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency was considered at its serum level ≥20 and <30ng/ml, and deficiency at<20 ng/ml. Results. The mean level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25.7±2.6 ng/ml) in all patients with NAFLD was significantly and reliably lower than in the control group (52.2±6.8 ng/ml, P<0.01), and in people with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), it was lower than in those with simple steatosis (24.3±3.0 vs. 27.1±2.2), although the difference was non-significant (P>0.05). In patients with NASH and liver fibrosis, the mean level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was also lower than in all patients with NAFLD/NASH, especially in severe F3–4 fibrosis, although this difference was also non-significant. Normal vitaminD status was observed in only 42 (35%) patients with NAFLD/NASH, while most people (78 patients, 65%; P<0.005) had a decrease in serum vitamin D levels in the form of its insufficiency or deficiency: 66 (55%) and 12 individuals (10%), respectively. Conclusions. An open-label study found an inverse relationship between 25(OH)D levels and the risk of NAFLD development and progression. Because vitamin D is considered a modifiable risk factor for NAFLD, this finding may be of clinical significance due to the possible preventive effect of vitamin D in this disease.
Issues of insulin therapy for type 2 diabetes and ways to solve them
Authors: Katerenchuk V.I. , Katerenchuk A.V.
Published: June 2023

The article is a summary of personal experience and literature data from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov databases. As a result of the analysis, the main problems faced by practical endocrinologists when administering insulin therapy to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been determined. Insulin therapy remains an important component of glucose-lowering therapy in T2DM. A significant increase in the number of oral hypoglycemic agents has allowed delaying the start of insulin therapy but the treatment for T2DM without insulin is not real today. The current problems of insulin therapy are as follows: untimely start, insufficient titration of the dose of basal insulin, excessive use of basal and bolus insulins, the irrationality of the use of premixes and the basis bolus regimen of insulin therapy. There are methods to overcome each of these issues that have proven their effectiveness according to clinical trials and real clinical practice data. The combination of insulin and oral therapy plays an important role, the addition of oral hypoglycemic agents is effective at different stages of insulin therapy. One of the most promising options is the use of fixed combinations of basal insulin with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. Fixed combinations can be used as initial therapy and are often the first step when changing other insulin therapy regimens. The use of fixed combinations can be an option for modification (simplification) of complex insulin therapy regimens, including the basal bolus regimen. Authors review current evidence and circumstances in which insulin can be used, consider individualized choices of alternatives and combination regimens, and offer some guidance on personalized targets and approaches to glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. In general, most of the modern problems of insulin therapy have options for successful overcome.
Beyond the Ideal: Anne Brontë's Realistic Feminism
Authors: Mgamis Majid
Published: June 2023

This article offers a fresh perspective on Anne Brontë's feminist stance in her novels The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey. While previous scholars have criticized Brontë's portrayal of her female protagonists in a manner that contradicts her feminist message, this article argues that Brontë's nuanced portrayal of the complexities of female subjectivity within the social, cultural, and historical constraints of her time is essential to her feminist stance. Anne Brontë empowers her female characters with realistic feminine tools to cope with the patriarchal suppression they face and calls for a rethinking of the miserable situation of women in the Victorian patriarchal society. The article argues that Brontë's aim is not to call for an impossible revolution through an ideal feminine figure but rather to promote action based on the reality of the situation. This article's originality lies in its fresh and sophisticated interpretation of Brontë's feminist stance that avoids reducing her characters to mere symbols of resistance and acknowledges the complexities of female subjectivity in a patriarchal society.

The Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic field is included in electromagnetic waves which have a frequency range of 0-300 Hz. In foodstuffs, the use of magnetic fields can be used for food security. Lemuru fish is a fish that is consumed by many people. In general, lemuru fish will last approximately 8 hours after arriving from capture. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exposure to the ELF magnetic field on the degree of acidity (pH) and density in lemuru fish. The research design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic field exposure treatment is used to increase lemuru fish resistance by inhibiting pathogenic bacteria. The research sample was 110 lemuru fish and divided into 5 groups. One group served as a control, 2 experimental groups were exposed to an ELF magnetic field intensity of 700µT for 60 minutes and 120 minutes, and the other 2 groups were exposed to an ELF magnetic field with an intensity of 1200µT for 60 minutes and 120 minutes. The variables studied included the pH value and the density of lemuru fish. Measurements of pH and density were carried out at the 8th and 20th hours after exposure to the ELF magnetic field. The research data were analyzed using statistical analysis, namely the Kruskall Wallis Test. The results of this study indicated that the intensity of 1200µT for 60 minutes was effective for maintaining the pH value of lemuru fish, while the intensity which was effective for maintaining the density value was 1200µT for 60 minutes and 120 minutes until the 20th hour.

Authors: Jadhav Prof. Rupali
Published: June 2023

Abstract: In this paper, we have proposed a movie recommendation system using hybrid recommendation system. Today, there are a lot of recommendation systems available which are practically implemented in various websites and mobile apps. Variety exists in types of recommendation systems, user interfaces but most importantly, the accuracy of the recommendation systems. Determining a user’s possible future preference of movie or TV shows to watch is a complex task which requires a lot of relevant user data such as watch history of user, genres liked by the user, favorite actor or director, etc. Hence, the aim of this proposed system is to refine the search engine and make it more enhanced and accurate in terms of prediction. The system recommends the movies graphically based on both, user preference and similarity of individual user with other users. It also shows top rated movies worldwide and updates the recommendation after every choice of movie or show by the user

Published: June 2023

Abstract: Currently, environmental pollution has become one of the most important issues faced by human beings. It has increased more rapidly in the past few years and reached alarming levels in terms of its toxic effects on living beings. Although pollution due to tanneries in India dates back 100 years, it received much attention only in therecent past. Toxic heavy metals are considered one of the strong pollutants that have a direct effect on humans and animals. Industrial wastewater containing heavy metals like lead, copper, cadmium, chromium, etc. can contaminate groundwater resources and thus lead to serious groundwater pollution problems. The present study isfocused on the removal of hexavalent chromium from an aqueous solution using an ecofriendly adsorbent, activated carbon prepared from the pods of the Delonix regime. The various parameters such as concentration, Activation time, and heavy metals (chromium is such metal which is to be found in the aqueous system in ionic form) are to be used.Adsorption has been advocated as the most promising among the currently known methods for wastewater treatment,especially for the removal of metals like copper, lead, chromium, and nickel.

The work focuses on the security protocols and the system armature from both the stoner and device sides. Felonious records are largely sensitive public records. By incorporating felonious records in a blockchain, the authenticity and severity of records can be maintained; which also helps to keep the data safe from adversaries. adding crime rates directly obstruct the growth of any nation thus it's and has always been a primary concern of every nation around the globe to control or maybe have an upper hand on ongoing as well as unborn felonious conditioning. A peer-to-peer pall network enables the decentralization of data. It helps help unlawful changes in the data. This paper introduces a felonious record storehouse system by enforcing blockchain technology to store the data, which helps to attain integrity and security. Low-position culprits, who do the legwork in a felonious association are the most likely to be arrested, whereas the high-position bones tend to avoid attention.

Topical medication delivery is the process of directly treating a cutaneous ailment or the cutaneous manifestation of a general disease by applying a pharmaceutical dosage form to the skin with the goal of reducing the drug's pharmacological or other effects to the surface of skin. A wide range of pharmacological dosage forms, such as semisolids, liquid preparations, sprays, solid powders, gels, creams, and ointments, are used in topical drug delivery systems. A gel is a cross-linked polymer network swollen in a liquid medium. Its properties depend strongly on the interaction between solid state polymer and the liquid component. Gels don't have a flow that is steady. An interlacing three-dimensional network of dispersed phase particles is created by the interaction of the polymer and the liquid dispersion medium. Because topical gel formulations are less oily and readily removed from the skin, they provide an effective medication delivery mechanism. Compared to cream and ointments, gel composition offers greater application properties and stability. One of the most frequent issues with dermatological problems is fungal infection of the skin. The most effective option for treating cutaneous infections is topical treatment. The most popular antifungals in the treatment of both local and systemic fungal infections are azoles. The benefits of topical treatment for fungal infections include less risk of systemic adverse effects and medications that are targeted to the infection site. Important actions for boosting treatment effectiveness include formulation design and optimization. The most helpful aspects of a topical medication delivery system are the medication's physiochemical characteristics and formulation type. As a result, some recent developments in formulation have been researched for the delivery of antifungal medications via the target region of the skin. This review focuses on the research that has been done so far on antifungal gel and a thorough analysis of it.

A pós-cidadania e a pós-nacionalidade
Authors: Teixeira Pinos Greco Pedro
Published: June 2023

Objetivo:o objetivo deste texto é estudar a eventual alteração da Constituição da República de 1988, que não admite, como regra, a cidadania política dos não nacionais imigrantes. Por isso, desejase examinar como está posto esse cenário hoje, cotejando esse panorama com as ideias de pósnacionalidade e pós-cidadania, que podem servir de referência para redesenhar os moldes que se tem atualmente estabelecidos, como o direito a votar e o direito a ser votado do não nacional imigrante. Dessa maneira, será preciso que nos debrucemos sob alguns institutos clássicos, como nacionalidade, cidadania, direito ao voto, direito a ser votado, soberania e as novas interpretações dessas premissas à luz da indivisibilidade dos direitos humanos. Método: a metodologia usada será o manejo do método científico indutivo, o exame da Constituição, das leis, dos autores das ciências humanas e do direito comparado, sobretudo latino-americano e europeu, para que possamos explicar nossa visão a respeito da chance que poderia ser conferida aos não nacionais imigrantes de votarem e serem votados. O nosso marco teórico será Hanna Arendt com suas importantes reverberações sobre a expressão “direito a ter direitos” no que toca aos direitos humanos dos não nacionais imigrantes. Resultado: a conclusão é de que talvez estejamos preparados para reformar nosso arcabouço jurídico para contemplar o direito a votar e ser votado dos não nacionais imigrantes.

Published: June 2023

Devido ao contexto geológico, a paisagem cárstica apresenta graus significativos de fragilidade se constituindo em ambientes suscetíveis a ocorrência de impactos ambientais. Este artigo visa caracterizar o uso e ocupação da terra em ambientes da paisagem cárstica da Bacia Sergipe. As bases analíticas da pesquisa foram alicerçadas nos dados secundários disponibilizados pelos órgãos oficiais do governo em suas três esferas, a exemplo do IBGE, PNUD, entre outros e trabalhos de campo. Os resultados investigatórios mostram que os múltiplos usos do solo no carste tradicional da Bacia Sergipe, tem sido desprovido de planejamento prévio, ocupando partes significativas das terras em suas mais diversas práticas econômicas sem a menor preocupação do quanto as atividades podem afetar direta e/ou indiretamente os sistemas naturais.
The value of knowledge: Discovering hidden capital
Authors: Cecchi Massimo
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this research is to overcome the weaknesses of intellectual capital (IC) estimation models, constructing and empirically verifying a new model that has the same strengths as the value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) but not its weaknesses. To better outline our analysis with respect to the many meanings that can be evoked by the term IC in the literature, we also define a new term: “hidden capital” (HDC) in the balance sheet. First, we analyze the epistemological and methodological aspects of the models existing in the literature, highlighting their weak points. Subsequently, using a logical-deductive methodology, we build a theoretical model, named “HDC”, to discover the “hidden capital”. Finally, we proceed to the empirical verification of the HDC model on a sample of over 1,800 listed European companies observed in the pre-pandemic period 2011–2019 (over 10,000 firm-year observations). The empirical verification through a regression panel model on eight European countries shows that all the variables of the HDC model are, unlike VAIC, significant and directly correlated to Tobin’s Q.
Just Do It! Exploring the musician's (use of) bodily performance
Authors: Andreas Borregaard
Published: June 2023

In the 21st century an increasing number of composers and performers include elements in their work that activate the musicians’ voice and body in ways not related to playing an instrument.

The musician’s moving, dancing, touching, speaking, singing, shouting, grimacing, sounding body opens an novel and still expanding palette of expression – but its use also requires new skills that are currently not an explicit part of higher musical education or standard musical performance practice.

Just Do It! is an artistic research project that seeks to explore the possibilities of bodily performance in an expanded field of music and to detect, define and describe some of the skills and knowledge needed to realize them. The project’s practice-based methodology is rooted in the creation of five new solo pieces for accordion and body and a concerto for ensemble and accordionist written by James Black, Marcela Lucatelli, Philip Venables/Ted Hufmann, Jennifer Walshe, Louise Alenius and Andreas Borregaard.
Placement and Power Assignment for Hierarchical UAV Networks under Hovering Fluctuations in mmWave Communications
Authors: Abdollahi Mehran Pourmohammad , Azarhava Hosein , Niya Javad Musevi
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we investigate the successful transmission probability of
an aerial cellular network in which an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as
a Macrocell Base Station (UAV-BS) serves other UAVs as aerial users. The
beamforming capable antennas are mounted on the UAVs, to increase the
throughput of the network. The random effects of inner forces such as
controlling errors or outer forces like the air conditions result in the
random fluctuations. We assume Rician fading distribution over the links
between the UAVs, then, we calculate the distribution of the channels
under hovering fluctuations. Also, we derive the closed form expressions
for successful transmission probability. Defining an optimization
problem on the average successful transmission probability of the
network, we obtain the best placement of UAV-BS along with the resource
allocation. The problem turns out to be a non-convex problem and time
consuming via numerical exhaustive search methods. Instead, we solve the
optimization problem for its lower bound. Maximization problem for the
achieved lower bound is equivalent to maximize the main problem. Then,
we use some approximations to convert it to a low complex problem to
find the solution. We use the entity of the low complex problem to
obtain the allocated power for each UAV and in the following, the
problem becomes convex which is solved by KKT conditions to obtain the
location of UAV-BS. The theoretical results show that optimizing the
lower bound probability achieves the suboptimal solution for power
assignment and placement problem, which is verified by simulation
results.
Treatments with the specific δ-secretase inhibitor, compound 11, promote the regeneration of motor and sensory axons after peripheral nerve injury.

Limited axon regeneration following peripheral nerve injury may be
related to activation of the lysosomal protease, asparaginyl
endopeptidase (AEP, δ-secretase), and its degradation of the microtubule
associated protein, Tau. Activity of AEP was increased at the site of
sciatic nerve transection and repair but blocked in mice treated
systemically with a specific AEP inhibitor, compound 11 (CP11).
Treatments with CP11 enhanced axon regeneration in vivo. Amplitudes of
compound muscle action potentials recorded four weeks after nerve
transection and repair and two weeks after daily treatments with CP11
were double those of vehicle-treated mice. At that time after injury,
axons of significantly more motor and sensory neurons had regenerated
successfully and reinnervated the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius
muscles in CP11-treated mice than vehicle-treated controls. In cultured
adult dorsal root ganglion neurons derived from wild type mice that were
treated in vitro for 24 hours with CP11, neurites were nearly 50%
longer than in vehicle-treated controls, and similar to neurite lengths
in cultures treated with the TrkB agonist, 7,8-dihydroxyflavone
(7,8-DHF). Combined treatment with CP11 and 7,8-DHF did not enhance
outgrowth more than treatments with either one alone. Enhanced neurite
outgrowth produced by CP11 was found also in the presence of the TrkB
inhibitor, ANA-12, indicating that the enhancement was independent of
TrkB signaling. Longer neurites were found after CP11 treatment in both
TrkB+ and TrkB- neurons. Delta secretase inhibition by CP11 is a
treatment for peripheral nerve injury with great potential.
