This dissertation presents a system that can assist a person with a visual impairment in both navigation and movability. Meanwhile, number of solutions are available in current time. We described some of them in the later part of the paper. But to date, a reliable and cost-effective solution has not been put forward to replace the legacy devices currently used in mobilizing on a daily basis for people with a visual impairment. This report first examines the problem at hand and the motivation behind addressing it. Later, it explores relative current technologies and research in the assistive technologies industry. Finally, it proposes a system design and implementation for the assistance of visually impaired people. The proposed device is equipped with hardware like raspberry pi processor, camera, battery, goggles, earphone, power bank and connector. Objects will be captured with the help of camera. Image processing and detecting would be done with the help of deep learning, R-CNN like modules on the device itself. However, final output would be delivered by the earphone into the visually impaired person’s ear. The research work contains the methodology and the solutions of above mention problem. The research works can be used in practical use cases, for visually impaired person. The system proposed in this project includes the use of a region based convolutional neural network as well as the use of a raspberry pi for processing the image data. System includes tesseract library of programming language python for OCR and give output to the user. The detailed methodology and result are elaborated later in this paper.

Developing spacecraft telemetry subsystem utilizing commercial of the shelf (COTs) components to meet the technical design requirements with low-cost is big challenge for designers, due to the considerations of harmed ionizing space radiation effect, specially the total ionizing dose effect (TID). This effect induces performance degradation and failure in satellite electronic components (ECs). Because of the complexity of microcontrollers and their various integrated functionality, they present a hardness assurance encounter. A careful technique was followed in analyzing the space radiation effects. Then rigorous tests should be conducted to test the performance of the candidate microcontrollers under these effects. This paper presents the predicted dose depth curve and the total ionizing does test results for a commercial ARM microcontroller for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Such test results help estimate the effect of space environment on the microcontroller and decide if such microcontroller is an accepted candidate for LEO missions or not.

Published: August 2020

Tikslas – aptarti fizinio aktyvumo poveikį širdies ir kraujagyslių ligų rizikos veiksniams atskirose po­puliacijos grupėse.

Metodika. Atlikta sisteminė mokslinės literatūros apž­valga. Duomenys buvo renkami PubMed duomenųbazėje. Analizuotos tik anglųkalba skelbtos publika­cijos, pasirodžiusios ne vėliau nei prieš5 metus. Ana­lizei atrinkta ir išanalizuota18 viso teksto publikacijų.

Rezultatai. Reguliarus fizinis aktyvumas susijęs su rizikos mažinimu susirgti širdies ir kraujagyslių sis­temos ligomis [1]. Užsiimant reguliaria fizine veikla, gerėja ir tam tikri rodikliai, tokie kaip kūno masės indeksas, arterinis kraujospūdis, cholesterolio bei gliukozės kiekis kraujyje [2]. Idealių kardiovasku­linių komponentų kiekis vaikystėje lemia suaugu­siojo sveikatos būklę, todėl labai svarbu skatinti jaunų žmonių fizinį aktyvumą [3]. Fizinis aktyvumas re­komenduojamas ir vyresniems. Šioje populiacijoje fizinis aktyvumas mažina kritimų riziką ir su jais susijusią negalią, gerina bendrą gyvenimo kokybę [4]. Pacientams, sergantiems kardiovaskulinėmis li­gomis, rekomenduojamas vidutinio krūvio fizinis aktyvumas, nes didesnio krūvio fizinis aktyvumas neduoda geresnių bendrojo mirtingumo rezultatų[5]. Pastebėta, jog 12 savaičių fizinis aktyvumas padeda pagerinti arba netgi atkurti normalų atsaką į simpati­nės nervų sistemos stimuliaciją [1]. Fizinį aktyvumą įtraukiant į reabilitacijos po širdies ir kraujagyslių ligų programą, sumažėja pakartotinės hospitalizacijos rizika ir mirštamumas nuo kardiovaskulinių ligų [2]. Pacientai, sergantys periferinių kraujagyslių ligomis, mažiau vaikšto ir mankštinasi, todėl vyraujantis sė­dimas gyvenimo būdas didina susirgimo širdies ir kraujagyslių ligomis riziką. Svarbu atkreipti dėmesį į šią populiaciją, skatinant fizinį aktyvumą periferinų kraujagyslių ligomis sergančių pacientų grupėje [6].

Schroth terapija yra specializuota skoliozės gydymo kineziterapija, atitinkanti visus SOSORT keliamus reikalavimus [1]. Jos metu svarbiausias dėmesys kreipiamas į korpuso deformacijų korekciją, derota­ciją bei kvėpavimo sistemos funkcijos gerinimą. Nors Schroth terapija laikoma vienu labiausiai ištirtų kon­servatyviojo gydymo metodų, literatūroje duomenų apie Schroth terapijos poveikį kvėpavimo sistemos funkcijų parametrams nedaug.

Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti Schroth terapijos metodo poveikį sergančiųjų idiopatine skolioze kvėpavimo funkcijai gerinti.

Tyrimo organizavimas ir metodai. Tyrimas atliktas 2019 metų vasario – gegužės mėnesiais ambulatori­nės reabilitacijos skyriuje. Tyrime savanoriškai da­lyvavo 16 idiopatine skolioze sergančių pacientų. Taikyta 10 individualių kineziterapijos procedūrų. Tyrimo metodai: antropomertinių duomenų rinkimas, Cobb kampo nustatymas, krūtinės ląstos ekskursijos vertinimas, spirometrija, skoliometrija, aprašomoji matematinė statistika, dirbant su Microsoft Excel 2016 bei SPSS programomis.

Tyrimo rezultatai. 10 kineziterapijos užsiėmimų pa­gal Schroth statistiškai reikšmingai 200 ml padidino FVC, 270 ml FEV1 rodiklius. Santykiniais vienetais FVC padidėjo 5,3 o FEV1 8,8 procentiniais punktais. Krūtinės ląstos ekskursija pažastų lygyje padidėjo 2,3 cm, kardinės ataugos lygyje 1,1 cm, statistiškai reikšmingai 1,20 sumažino korpuso rotacijos laipsnį. Didėjantis korpuso rotacijos laipsnis neigiamai vei­kia kvėpavimo pajėgumo rodiklius. Krūtinės ląstos ekskursijos matavimas kardinės ataugos lygyje bei šio parametro kitimai patikimai atspindi kvėpavimo sistemos pajėgumo dinamiką.

Efektyviausias šios ligos gydymo metodas yra kombinuota neoadjuvantinė chemoterapija imatinibu ir radikalus chirurginis naviko pašalinimas.
PSYCHOSOCIAL RISKS FOR MENTAL HEALTH DURING A PANDEMIC
Authors: Igumnov Sergey
Published: August 2020

During the pandemic, many countries go through a period of so-called “self-isolation” or quarantine, during which people are forced for a long time not to see their loved ones, not to visit places of importance to them and experiencing constant anxiety and un­certainty due to changing living conditions. This has had a very negative impact on most people’s mental state. Analyzing data from many countries around the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) notes that the fear, loneliness, isolation, stress and anxiety experienced by all people during the COVID-19 pan­demic can cause great mental health problems and countries need to be prepared for them. Metaanalysis of studies evaluating the prevalence of mental and behavioral disorders, self-harming behavior, acts of family violence, and problematic substance use in the COVID-19 pandemic show that depression, drug and alcohol addiction, self-harm and suicidal behavior are expected to increase, requiring increased prepa­redness by mental health services.
Breathing and its stimulatory responses in parkinsonism: repercussions for physiotherapy
Authors: Mieczyslaw Pokorski
Published: August 2020

This study addresses respiratory and motor impairments in an experimental reserpine-induced model of parkinsonism in rats. The role of chronic hypoxia due to diminished ventilation in the development and course of neurodegeneration is addressed. An attempt was made to distinguish between central and peripheral dopamine pathways in the mechanisms of neurodegeneration. A dissociation of putative mechanisms of respiratory and motor impairments is tackled as well. Although this purely experimental study cannot be directly extrapolated to human pathophysiology, the corollaries have been drawn concerning the potential repercussions of the respiratory and motor impairments for the physiotherapeutic procedures in the management of chronic neurodegeneration.

Education is the most important organ in social change in a better direction, individually and in groups of people and even a country. The agenda of change is the noble ideals of human nature. This is impossible if it doesn't start early. Measures for change starting from the education of children, early childhood and childhood is a golden age, to realize gold in their lives in the future requires education, teaching and habituation in every corner of children's activities, both at home, school and in the community. Therefore a measurable and realistic theory is needed. Among the actual and relevant theories in the community are the demographic trilogy. A theory that teaches environment-based education, both the family environment (home), the educational environment (school) and the community environment. The meaning of the family environment is to educate children of childhood as the age of gold in the area of their daily living quarters. It starts from giving a good name, giving halal food, cultivating it and getting used to listening to the revelation of the Qur'an in his home. Furthermore the educational environment, children in childhood should receive education from educational institutions that can deliver to a pure human identity, which always serves the divine rabbi. For this reason, the child should get an education from the Islamic elementary school or Integrated Islamic Primary School (SDIT) which is based on the development of divine nature. While the most prominent community environment is a mosque or prayer room. So the age of children at the age of basic standards must be accustomed to attending, praying and studying in mosques or mushollah. If the demographic trilogy of education for children at the age of the madrasa is elaborated in education as old as the age of Islam, of course the purpose of Islamic education will be realized, namely to make people who have moral character.

The world of education cannot ber separated from the curriculum. The curriculum is one of the most important components of education. The curriculum can cover a broad scope and a narrow scope. A curriculum must have compatibility or relevance with the needs and demands that exist in society. The curriculum must also be able adjust the components in it. In its implementation in a educational institution, the curriculum needs to be developed, in developing a curriculum it certainly cannot be done just like that without reference or guidance. One of the curriculum that is developed must pay attentiom to the organization and design of curriculum development. The organization and design of the curriculum is one aspect that needs to be considered so that in curriculum sevelopment it can meet all the needs and demand of students, educators, and also the community. This study uses the library research method by examining several data sources from books relating to the organization and curriculum development design. The conclusion of this study is that in the process of developing the organizational curriculum it acts as a method for determining the selection and integration of learning experiences held by educational institutions. An organization is very necessary for the management process, namely planning organizations, organizations in the framework or curriculum implementation, and organizations in the framework of curriculum evaluation. In developing curriculum, curriculum design is also needed. Curriculum design is the organization of goals, content, and processes that students will undergo in an educational institution. There are various designs that have been compiled and each design has certain strengths and weaknesses. This study can be a reference for institutions that want to develop a curriculum to understand what organizations and design developments fit their needs. Future research is expected to be able to deal more deeply with the organization and design or curriculum development.

Today the need of education is increasingly high, but it is inversely proportional to the condition of education that is increasingly regressive. This happened because of the development of science, knowledge, and technology (modernism) which had a negative impact on moral decadence. Because of this threat, Islamic education as a branch of aespecially scientific discipline is expected to be a solution to the threat. Therefore, educational institutions must be able to be pioneers in improving the character of students, namely by implementing policies or programs that lead to Islamic education. One of them has been done by a non-Islamic national standard school, namely SMA Negeri 1 Genteng, which has instilled Islamic values in the educational environment.

The development of education always changes with the times, the wider the access to interaction the wider the challenges. Students who have been educated in the past face real challenges today, while children who are currently educated will face challenges in the future. The transformation of education has indeed become an inevitable necessity to keep up with the flow of disruption. Education in the past was quite easy to make children become obedient and easily regulated individuals even though the function of three education center was imbalanced and mostly played a role in the school environment. However, the results are satisfying in shaping the character and personality of a good child. It is different from the current conditions in which the role of the family and community education environment must begin to be played maximally. This condition is the impact of the era of disruption that can not be dammed, not only the mindset of students who are contaminated by the thought of "free learning" according to their assumptions and perceptions, teachers have also begun to be infected with "viruses" of materialistic thinking transmitted by the world of disruption. Educators, parents, and the community need to understand the importance of character-based education transformation, education that shapes professional, independent, and Islamic personalities. 

To realize the dream of character education there needs to be an awareness of learning and teaching. Educators must change the mindset in teaching, change patterns and habits in the school, family and community environment, with the aim that they can be actively involved. Educators need to find ways, think about it and combine Islamic values ​​and local culture. The involvement of educators in the above three environments is believed to be able to neutralize the negative seduction caused by the sophistication of globalization. So that Education can be interpreted as an effort to transform knowledge (transfer of knowledge), enrichment of value (transfer of value), knowledge of cultural character (transfer of culture), and inculcation of religious values ​​(transfer of religious) towards the orientation of changing patterns of individual behavior so that it has sublime value and is intelligent as well as skilled.

Este artigo faz uma análise das fachadas das casas das cidades de Juazeiro/BA e Petrolina/PE como artefatos culturais que podem se constituir “lugar de memória”. Os detalhes arquitetônicos e os afrescos das fachadas remetem às lembranças de outros municípios que nasceram às margens do rio São Francisco, local de referência da pesquisa, que investiga as casas construídas nas duas cidades no final do século XIX e início do século XX, com o objetivo de desnudar possíveis prestígios da arquitetura e como vivem hoje os moradores em casas de influência portuguesa. A partir do registro fotográfico e dos relatos orais dos proprietários das casas pesquisadas, verifica-se aspectos de uma memória subterrânea presente nos testemunhos dos entrevistados e a influência das casas coloniais nos modos de vida e de representação. Utilizando a pesquisa qualitativa do tipo exploratório, relatos de história de vida nos permitiram reconstituir trajetos sobre o patrimônio arquitetônico relacionado com elementos de identidade, o valor estético atribuído à casa, o valor histórico dos afrescos, as relações sociais e culturais que marcaram a vida em comunidade dos proprietários. Já as fotografias serviram de artefatos para recorrer às memórias que surgem com as narrativas de histórias de vida, inseridas nos contextos sociais.

Transporte electrónico a través de moléculas orgánicas
Authors: Morales Valenzuela Luis Germán , Iglesias Vázquez Priscilla Elizabeth , Villarreal Sánchez Ruben Cesar
Published: August 2020

El uso de moléculas como componentes electrónicos ha marcado una tendencia de miniaturización en dispositivos conocida como electrónica molecular. En este trabajo se realizan cálculos teóricos del coeficiente de transmisión cuántico y la corriente eléctrica a través de una molécula de benceno conectada a terminales eléctricas. El coeficiente de transmisión es obtenido mediante el cálculo recursivo de la función de Green del sistema. Se modela también la influencia de un electrodo móvil puntual (small movable gate SMG) sobre la transmisión. Los resultados muestran que el coeficiente de transmisión oscila como función de la energía incidente de los electrones, y la corriente eléctrica muestra que la molécula de benceno tiene un carácter semiconductor. Las oscilaciones en la transmisión pueden ser manipuladas por la posición de las terminales en la molécula y por la influencia del SMG en una región cercana a un átomo en particular.

En este trabajo de investigación se obtienen hidrocarburos liquidos combustibles (gasolina) con rendimiento del 90% por medio de pirólisis del polietileno de alta densidad (PEAD) a 390 ± 5 °C sobre el catalizador α−PbO. La masa catalítica se varía en 10, 15, 20 y 40% p/p utilizando 10 g de PEAD por cada experimento. El α−PbO se sintetizó a 550 °C en atmósfera de aire durante 1 hora. Los productos líquidos son caracterizados por espectroscopia infrarroja con transformada de Fourier (FT-IR) y cromatografía de gases y espectrometría de masas (GC/MS). La relación óptima experimental de PEAD/α−PbO para la conversión del polietileno residual es 20% α−PbO. Los análisis por FT-IR y GC/MS, permiten corroborar que los líquidos obtenidos corresponden a hidrocarburos con cadenas en un intervalo de 6 a 10 carbonos (C6–C10) y contienen un calor de combustión promedio de 10.9492 kcal/g con potencial aplicación como combustibles alternativos.

Authors: Hacar Abdullah
Published: August 2020

Kapadokya’da mesleki uzmanlaşma Paleolitiğin son evrelerinden itibaren görülmektedir. Hammadde kaynaklarına ulaşılabilirlik nedeniyle gelişen bu sıradışı erken dönem örnekler dışında iş bölümü ve tam zamanlı uzmanlaşmanın, ekonomik ve politik örgütlenmede görülen gelişmelerle bağlantılı olarak, aslında İlk Tunç Çağı’nda oluştuğu anlaşılmaktadır. Anadolu genelinde elde edilmiş çanak çömlek, maden ve mimari buluntular, bu dönemde uzmanlaşmış üretimin ne derecede kurumsallaştığını göstermektedir. Son yıllarda yapılan etnografik ve etnoarkeolojik çalışmalar, arkeolojik materyallerin üretim sürecinde meydana gelen izlerden yola çıkarak, buluntuların ait oldukları uzmanlaşmış üretim modelleri hakkında yeni yorumlar yapılmasına imkan sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, değişik uzman örgütlenme modellerini yansıtabilecek üç farklı çanak çömlek türü değerlendirilmekte, etnografik ve etnoarkeolojik çalışmalarda yapılan yeni çözümlemeler ve tanımlar ışığında, İlk Tunç Çağı’nın uzman üretim örgütlenmesinin niteliğine ilişkin yorumlar yapılmaktadır.

Osmanlı Beyliğinin kuruluş yıllarıyla ilgili çağdaş kaynakların yokluğu, döneme ait birçok meseleyi aydınlığa kavuşturma yolunda önemli bir eksiklik olarak karşımızda durmaktadır. Bu husus kuruluş döneminden çok sonraları yazılmış kroniklerin Osman Bey ve yanındaki silah arkadaşları konusunda verdikleri bilgilerin temellendirmesinde de ciddi bir engel teşkil etmektedir. Genellikle araştırmalarda kaynaklardaki meselelere ve ele alış tarzlarına dikkat edilmeksizin yapılan aktarımlar, ilk kroniklerdeki birçok şahsın tarihi kimliğini tartışılmaz bir hale koyarak yaygın ve bilinir kimselere dönüştürmüştür. Bunlar hakkında gerçekte kroniklerde verilen bilgilerin nasıl okunması gerektiği suali ortada durmaktadır. Osman Bey’in yakın kumandanlarından ve akıncı beylerinden biri olarak kroniklerde tanıtılan Konur Alp hakkındaki biyografik çalışmalar herhangi bir itirazla karşılaşmaksızın olduğu gibi yapılan aktarımlar ve bunların tartışılmaksızın doğru veri gibi alınıp yorumlanmasıyla malûl bir özellik taşır. Gerçekte Konur Alp’in söz konusu ilk kroniklerde, araştırmalarda olduğu ölçüde temayüz ettirilmiş bir kimliği olmadığı, zayıf bilgilerin yeniden karşılaştırılmalı olarak ele alınması gerektiği açıktır. Bu makale Konur Alp’in tarihi kimliği hususunda nelerin bilindiğini ve bunların nasıl anlaşılması gerektiğini tartışmaktadır.
An English Merchant in Ottoman İzmir (Smyrna): William Barker (1731-1825)
Authors: Koyuncu Kaya Miyase
Published: August 2020

In the eighteenth century, in order to stimulate British trade in the Levant the British Levant Company made such decisions as accepting membership of countrymen. With the benefits of changes in the Company’s rules, William Barker of Derbyshire became a member of the Company and came to İzmir (Smyrna) in 1760 for the purpose of trade and “profit”. Focusing on William Barker’s life, this research examines the rules binding merchants of the Company in Ottoman lands, their relations with both Ottoman subjects and “European” residents in İzmir, the reflections of inter- states competitions and conflict on trade in concerned period and their contacts with Ottoman authorities by analysing documents including Barker’s letters to his family, minutes of the Levant Company, records from the Ottoman archives, traveller accounts, and the letters sent by the traders of the Smyrna Factory to the authorities in London. This study sheds light on how economic, political and social conditions of late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Levant affected European merchants residing in Ottoman lands individually and communally. Not leaving a lucrative trade back in the Ottoman lands where he had started as a merchant without capital and ended up bankrupt, William Barker who resided in İzmir for 65 years until his death left a generation that continued to live in these lands until the middle of the 20th century.

This discussion paper has been prepared for the expert roundtable exploring the ‘Differential Attainment in PG Medical Education and Training’ planned for 17 September 2020. This will be the first engagement exercise launching the 2020 Thematic series on Tackling differential attainment in Healthcare professions, bringing together an interdisciplinary Alliance on equality in healthcare professions. This paper presents a preliminary outline of the current evidence on differential attainment in high stakes postgraduate summative assessment, explores its impact, deliberates on known causes, and discusses a number of potential solutions. This paper is written with a view to present the case for tackling DA in PG summative assessments and will be accompanied by a prioritised selection of ‘focused questions and solutions’ to be discussed at the roundtable with subject experts. This paper and roundtable will form part of, and contribute to the thematic synthesis in the section on ‘Assessment - formative and summative’. Therefore, as described in the ‘protocol’, will be followed by a focused systematic review, engagement with priority setting partnerships (via questionnaires, focus groups, and workshops) and culminate in an expert consensus. The final outcome will be presented as-synthesized recommendations, solutions, policy enablers, and areas for further research.
Can the Kappa-distributed Electron Energies Account for the Intensity Ratios of O ii Lines in Photoionized Gaseous Nebulae?
Authors: Lin Bao-Zhi , Zhang Yong
Published: August 2020

A vexing puzzle in the study of planetary nebulae and H ii regions is that the plasma diagnostic results based on collisionally excited lines systematically differ from those based on recombination lines. A fairly speculative interpretation is the presence of nonthermal electrons with the so-called κ energy distributions, yet there is little observational evidence to verify or disprove this hypothesis. In this paper, we examine the influence of κ-distributed electrons on the emissivities of O ii recombination lines using an approximate method, where the rate coefficients for a κ distribution are computed by summing Maxwellian–Boltzmann rate coefficients with appropriate weights. The results show that if invoking κ-distributed electrons, the temperatures derived from the [O iii] (λ4959 + λ5007)/λ4363 ratios could coincide with those estimated from the O ii
λ4649/λ4089 ratios. However, the estimated temperatures and κ values are not in agreement with those obtained through comparing the [O iii] (λ4959 + λ5007)/λ4363 ratios and the hydrogen recombination spectra, suggesting that the electron energy is unlikely to follow the κ-distributions over a global scale of the nebular regions. Nevertheless, based on this observation alone, we cannot definitely rule out the presence of κ-distributed electrons in some microstructures within nebulae.
Laboratory Optical Spectroscopy of Vibronic Transitions of the Thiophenoxy Radical

Published: August 2020

The thiophenoxy radical (C6H5S) is a species of possible astrophysical interest due to an electronic transition in a 5000 Å region. The

electronic transition of this radical in the discharge of thiophenol was measured using a cavity ring-down spectrometer. The optical absorption spectrum of this transition was obtained in the range covering from the origin band (0–0) to a frequency of 1750 cm−1. The vibronic bands in the 400–1700 cm−1 region are stronger than the origin band, suggesting structural difference between the ground and excited electronic states. The prominent progression was assigned to the 6a symmetric in-plane C–C–C bending mode starting from the

forbidden band. Band origins of individual bands were determined by analysis of the rotational profiles. Although these vibronic bands were not found in optical spectra of diffuse clouds, the upper limits of the column densities for the thiophenoxy radical in the diffuse clouds toward HD 183143 and HD 204827 were evaluated to be ∼4 × 1013 cm−2.

We confirm the planetary nature of TOI-1728b using a combination of ground-based photometry, near-infrared Doppler velocimetry and spectroscopy with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder. TOI-1728 is an old, inactive M0 star with T
eff = 

K, which hosts a transiting super-Neptune at an orbital period of ∼3.49 days. Joint fitting of the radial velocities and TESS and ground-based transits yields a planetary radius of

R
⊕, mass

M
⊕, and eccentricity

. We estimate the stellar properties, and perform a search for He 10830 Å absorption during the transit of this planet and claim a null detection with an upper limit of 1.1% with 90% confidence. A deeper level of He 10830 Å absorption has been detected in the planet atmosphere of GJ 3470b, a comparable gaseous planet. TOI-1728b is the largest super-Neptune—the intermediate subclass of planets between Neptune and the more massive gas-giant planets—discovered around an M dwarf. With its relatively large mass and radius, TOI-1728 represents a valuable data point in the M-dwarf exoplanet mass–radius diagram, bridging the gap between the lighter Neptune-sized planets and the heavier Jovian planets known to orbit M dwarfs. With a low bulk density of

g cm−3, and orbiting a bright host star (J ∼ 9.6, V ∼ 12.4), TOI-1728b is also a promising candidate for transmission spectroscopy both from the ground and from space, which can be used to constrain planet formation and evolutionary models.
