Authors: KILIÇASLAN Emine , ARMAN ZENGİ Cennet , YÜCEL Duygu
Published: December 2023

The intense technological revolution in the field of communication and information technologies has naturally affected economic and social life. As the economy evolves towards Industry 4.0 and the metaverse universe, digital transformation has started to reshape production and consumption relations. Thanks to advanced technology and mass media, the world has shrunk, communication has intensified and access to information is realised with a single click. At the last point, the Metaverse appears as a digital virtual universe. The Metaverse world, which provides a parallel but virtual reality for human beings, can be considered as a twin world where we live with our avatars. However, the virtual twin world changes the known consumption, production and financing patterns of the economic system and creates a commodity universe economy, or in other words, the Metaverse economy. In this context, the aim of this systematic review is to understand the consumption of individuals in the new economic life that comes with the changing world order. Many global, popular and world giant brands include the Metaverse in their production methods. When the Metaverse fully enters our lives, a new economic life will be formed in our daily work, working life and social life thanks to the Metaverse tools we will use. Keeping up with advanced communication and information technologies will harmonise both the production and consumption structure of society with technological change.
In this context, the aim of this study is to draw attention to the culture of consumption in the Metaverse economy as new communication technologies. For this reason, the Metaverse economy and ChatGPT analysis method were chosen in the context of the originality of the subject. The research questions of the study are, will the Metaverse economy as a new communication technology increase the consumption culture? Will people shop with their avatars in virtual stores? The originality of the study stems from the fact that there is no study on this subject and ChatGPT analysis method has not been used. Its contribution to the literature will be in this context. A literature review was also conducted. ChatGPT analysis method was applied in the study. With the ChatGPT analysis method, Internet 1.0 consumption culture, social media consumption culture and metaverse period consumption culture change processes were compared.

Identification of the minimum effective dose for binary endpoints
Authors: Awaab John Ayuekanbey
Published: December 2023

In response to an open topic posed by Tamhane and Dunnett (1999), this article suggests a confidence interval approach for determining th minimum effective dose of medicine with binary data. To address this issue, we employ a partitioning strategy together with a confidence interval technique. In medical research, binary data typically appear about dichotomous outcomes, such as the onset of a disease or the effectiveness of a medication. The suggested method not only determines the lowest dose of a medicine that would work, but it also offers an estimate of the therapeutic impact of the nearest unsuccessful amount. Those details are useful for further research in clinical trials. The procedure controls the family-wise error rate. The acetaminophen data example in this article was used to calculate the minimum effective dose, which was determined to be 151 $\mu$ g. The findings revealed that Wilson's score showed a strong coverage probability. The findings further revealed that the Wald and Binomial Distribution have poor coverage probability. We recommend that Wilson's score with a stepwise confidence-based procedure is more suitable for dose discovery studies with binary outcomes
DOCTRINAL AND REGULATORY APPROACHES TO THE CONCEPT OF AFFILIATION
Authors:   Perm State University, Syatchikhin A. V. , Storozhenko D. I. ,   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article is devoted to the ontology of the concept of “affiliation” in Russian law. The author examines the doctrinal views on the content of this concept, as well as the normative approach to determining the legal status of affiliated persons in corporate, antimonopoly, bankruptcy and tax legislation. Despite the consolidation of the concept of “affiliated persons” in civil legislation, the grounds for the emergence of affiliation, as well as the legal consequences of affiliation, are specified in the industry legislation. This provision indicates the absence of a unified concept of “affiliation” in Russian law. It is worth recognizing that the expansion of the signs of affiliation as a relationship of legal connectedness “blurs” this concept in Russian law. The uncertainty and obvious insufficiency of the legal regulation of the concept of affiliation demonstrates the lack of an exhaustive legal regulation of the activities of persons within the framework of relations developing within the group of companies. The universalization of the concept of “affiliation” in the Russian legislation is not possible. It is proposed to establish the affiliation of persons directly in law enforcement activities by applying a functional approach to the analysis of the possibility of a person to influence the subjects of civil legal relations.

Authors: Vavachan Noble , Ravichandran Hariharasudhan , Shetty Kshama Susheel , Janakiraman Balamurugan
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Genu recurvatum is one of the most commonly presented lower extremity postural malalignments in individuals. Though genu recurvatum and its impact on impaired knee proprioception, anterior cruciate injuries and posterior soft tissue dysfunctions are reported, its association with patellar mobility is scarcely reported and warrants exploration. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the medial and lateral patellar mobility differences in adult young males with genu recurvatum and normal knee alignment. METHODS: The ethical approval for this cross-sectional study protocol was obtained and the study was conducted in Research Department of Alva’s College of Physiotherapy and Research Centre, Moodubidire, DK, Karnataka, India. The study participants were recruited through an institutional-based musculoskeletal and sports clinic. The estimated sample size for this study was 174. A total of 87 young males with genu recurvatum and 87 young males with normal knee alignment fulfilling the selection criteria were enrolled in two groups. Participants' knee joint was examined by an assessor and individuals with > 5⁰ knee hyperextension were assigned to genu recurvatum group, and individuals with knee extension < 5⁰ from neutral were assigned to the normal knee alignment group. Further, the patellar glide test was performed to examine the presence of patellar hypermobility in both groups. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants in genu recurvatum and normal knee alignment group was 22.04 + 1.860 and 21.91 + 1.869, respectively. A significant higher proportion (86.2%) of participants with genu recurvatum identified with patellar hypermobility compared to normal knee alignment. Within the genu recurvatum subjects, 66.66& and 19.54% were observed to have medial and lateral patellar hypermobility. The odds for occurrence of patellar hypermobility in genu recurvatum was estimated to be 13.007 (95%, CI, 5.481 – 30.866), respectively. CONCLUSION: The study result suggests that medial patellar hypermobility is more common in individuals with genu recurvatum. Further study investigating on the mechanism contributing towards medial patellar mobility in genu recurvatum populations could validate the present study findings.

The objective of this study was to examine the contribution of distal and proximal family factors to mental health of Russian children before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were primary caregivers of 1,985 children aged 6 to 12 years. The 2011-2019 sample consisted of 1403 children (53% girls; mean age 8.6; SD = 1.2); 2020-2021 sample consisted of 582 children (50% girls; mean age 8.8; SD = 1.4). The study used internationally recognized measures with established validity and reliability. Children’s mental health was measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ); family factors were measured by the socio-demographic questionnaire, short Family Cohesion Scale, and the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire — Brief Form (APQ-BF). The results showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, parents of primary schoolchildren rated family cohesion lower than before the pandemic; they were also less likely to apply positive parenting practices, and more likely to use inconsistent discipline. High level of parental involvement maintained an existing level of children’s prosocial behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas with the average and low levels of parental involvement the expression of children’s prosocial behavior during the pandemic decreased. An increase in children’s internalizing and externalizing problems during the pandemic was observed only in families low in cohesion. Low level of parental education weakened the negative impact of child mental health problems on their everyday life, whereas high level of parental education was a risk factor of greater impact. These results can be used to develop evidencebased programs for prevention and intervention of mental health problems in primary school children and their families.

Authors: YILMAZ Zelfi Buse , GÖRENEK Gülderen
Published: December 2023

20. yüzyılın başlarında, resimde Modern sanat yaklaşımı bağlamında, Doku ve Faktura terimleri, farklı olsalar da ortak özelliklerinden dolayı zaman zaman birbirleriyle karıştırılabilmektedir. Doku, dokunma ve görme duyularına hitap ederek, bilinçaltının evrensel deneyimlerine dayanan bir öğedir ve çevredeki her türlü nesnenin yüzey özelliklerini ifade eder. Sanatta ise, farklı amaçlara yönelik olarak gerçek doku, taklit doku gibi çeşitli doku türleri kullanılmıştır. 20. yüzyılın ilerleyen dönemlerinde, resim sanatına, farklı nesnelerin eklenmesiyle birlikte, sanatçılar gerçek dokuyu eserlerinde kullanmaya başlamışlardır. Gerçek doku, Faktura ile en fazla ilişkiselliği bulunan doku türüdür. Faktura, malzemenin veya nesnenin dokusu ve diğer nitelikleri üzerinden eserin özgünlüğünü belirten önemli bir kavramdır. Bir eserin Faktura’sından bahsedilirken malzemenin veya nesnenin dokusu ve tüm diğer nitelikleri önem kazanmaktadır. 1910-1923 yılları arasında Rusya'da ortaya çıkan Faktura terimi, zaman içinde değişikliklere uğramış ve terimin anlamı üzerine çeşitli eleştiriler getirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Doku kavramıyla sanat eserine etki eden dış etkenler ve Nikolai Tarabukin'in görüşleri aracılığıyla, yanılsamacılıktan kendine yeten bir nesne oluşturma süreçleri açıklanmıştır. Ardından, Doku teriminin etimolojik tanımı, teknik özellikleri ve farklı türleri ele alınmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra, Faktura teriminin etimolojik tanımı yapılmış ve Maria Gough'un beş an üzerinden irdelediği Faktura terimindeki değişiklikler, Vladimir Tatlin'in malzeme kültürü ve Konstrüktivistlerin terminolojisine yapılan atıflar yardımıyla açıklığa kavuşturulmaya çalışılmıştır.

Sonuç olarak, Rus avangardında 'Faktura' terimi, bir sanat eserinin sadece tamamlanmış olmasına değil, aynı zamanda eserin üretim sürecini tamamladıktan sonra dahi kendi kendine yeten, bir işlevi üstlenerek bunu sürdüren esere atıfta bulunmak amacıyla kullanılmıştır.

A universal protocol for high-quality DNA and RNA isolation from diverse plant species v2
Authors: Masoomi-Aladizgeh Farhad
Published: December 2023

Next-generation sequencing demands high-quality nucleic acid, yet isolating DNA and RNA from plant tissues is often challenging. Despite advancements in the development of a variety of kits and reagents, these products are only limited to isolating nucleic acid from model plant species. In this study, a universal lysis buffer is introduced to isolate nucleic acid from a wide range of plant species, including recalcitrant plants, to facilitate molecular studies, such as quantitative PCR (qPCR), transcriptomics, whole-genome sequencing, etc. The lysis buffer consists of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium chloride (NaCl), Tris base, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and β-mercaptoethanol (βME). The appropriate concentration of the components creates an ideal pH, which then facilitates the isolation of DNA and RNA from plant tissues simultaneously. This is one of the key differences between this protocol and other CTAB protocols that use similar reagents but have been optimised to isolate only DNA. For DNA and RNA to be qualified for next-generation sequencing platforms, the protocol is supplemented with columns to purify either DNA or RNA from the same tissue to meet high standards for sequencing analyses. This protocol provides an ideal approach to overcome potential obstacles in isolating high-quality DNA or RNA from a wide range of plant species in a timely manner. It is well-suited for a large number of samples and also when adequate sample collection is a limiting factor.

ACADEMIC AND NON-ACADEMIC LANGUAGE SOCIALIZATION FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AT AN INDONESIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY
Authors: Suryadi Adi Irma
Published: December 2023

Academic language socialization refers to the process of helping students to gain knowledge of the language and an ability to participate in new discourse communities by using the language appropriately. Previous research mostly discussed language socialization from students’ perspectives in overseas, such as in Taiwan, America, and Malaysia. In Indonesia, academic language socialization is still less explored, whereas Indonesia is incessantly to internationalize the university by receiving international students from around the world. Therefore, this research is designed to explore academic language socialization for international students from the university administrators’ perspectives, focusing on the university policies, academic and non-academic supports, and challenges. To collect the data, the researcher interviewed five participants; the director of postgraduate, the head of department of masters in Economics and Development Studies, the head of the language centre, one lecturer, and one international student. In addition, the researcher also did classroom observations, [W1] and document analysis (i.e., policy documents). By using interactive data analysis by Miles, et al. (2014), the findings revealed that there were gaps between the applicable policies and implementations.[W2]  To overcome the gaps, the university provided academic and non-academic support. For academic supports, the university provided the language center support for international students to have Indonesian language training both for general purposes, and academic purposes. For non-academic supports, the university provided the international students with some facilities, such as housing, cultural studies, vacation together, and art and culture festival. However, there were also several challenges both from bottom-up and top-down perspectives. The challenges were the results of the gaps between the applicable policies and implementations in receiving international students at the university. This result implies the need to reformulate policies of recruitment of international students and provide better academic and non-academic support for the students.
EXPLORING GRADE 11 LEARNERS’ ALGEBRAIC THINKING IN THE FORMULATION OF QUADRATIC EQUATIONS FROM GRAPHS
Authors: Selowa Reinhard , Dhlamini Zwelithini Bongani
Published: December 2023

Algebraic thinking enables learners to devise algebra generalization when configuring quadratic equations from their graphical representations. Noticeable, learners grapple with this topic and there are some silent issues in the literature that should be explored in this discourse. Consequently, this prompted the current study, aimed to explore Grade 11 learners’ algebraic thinking when formulating quadratic equations from drawn graphs. The study adopted three tenets of the Lesh’s Translational model, pictorial and symbolic representations. An exploratory case study was used with 22 purposively sampled learners to explore algebraic thinking exhibited in learners’ responses to the graphical questions and transcripts from unstructured interviews. The algebraic thinking came from the exploration documents and interviews analysed through thematic analysis. The findings revealed that 17 learners lacked basic knowledge of algebra concepts which prevented the formulation of equations from graphs. This resulted from learners exploiting improper properties of algebra which were the requirement for the formulation of equations. The implication is that teaching, and learning should focus on the establishment of skills that permit exploiting appropriate prior knowledge relevant to this topic. Last, we suggest that empirical studies be conducted to focus on improving the instruction for the crafting of equations from graphs.

Published: December 2023

Although previous research has demonstrated the significance of blended learning in foreign language learning, little attention is devoted to examining the influence of blended learning on students’ basic Korean learning process. This research aims to investigate the students’ perceptions of blended learning model in learning basic Korean. A quantitative and qualitative research method was employed by collecting data from questionnaires and interviews. This research involved 20 students in a Donasi Sambil Belajar (DOSILA) program. The DOSILA program was included as a learning program that used a blended learning model with a composition of 30% of e-learning and 70% of face-to-face learning. In addition, students’ perceptions of the blended learning model were examined. The results revealed that the application of blended learning as a new learning model could improve students’ learning independence properly. The students also informed that blended learning model assisted them to learn basic Korean easily with satisfaction. However, they encountered some obstacles such as forgotten schedules and poor internet connection. The results of this research can be a reference for future research to formulate more rigorous teaching framework.
A contrastive analysis of Korean-Indonesian phonological structures
Authors: Azizah Asma
Published: December 2023

This paper discusses the contrastive analysis of Korean-Indonesian phonological structure. The contrastive analysis here covers phonological correspondence and phonotactic structure between Korean and Indonesian. It also provides implications to pronunciation learning, especially Korean language learners in Indonesia. This paper is a descriptive qualitative research, using literature study from books, journals, and other related resources. This study revealed that Korean had more monophthongs and diphthongs than Indonesian, with Correspondence between Indonesian’s ‘ə’ and Korean’s ‘ɨ’, Korean’s ‘ə (ㅓ), o (ㅗ)’ and Indonesian’s ‘o’, and Korean’s ‘e (ㅔ), ɜ (ㅐ)’ and Indonesian’s ‘e’. However, Korean and Indonesian had different classification of consonant’s manner of articulation, especially on correspondence between voicing and affricative markedness. On syllable structure, Korean was considered to have stricter syllable structure than Indonesian, as seen on constraint applied on syllable.  These findings will help instructor create more effective pronunciation learning, with a comprehensive syllabus in using phonological theory and language skills. However, the suprasegmental aspect and phonological process are excluded from this research.

The comparative meaning and structure of idiom in korean novel Phalshipinyeonsaeng Kim Ji Young (82 년생 김지영) with its Indonesian translation (study of semantics and syntax)
Authors: Riana Herlina
Published: December 2023

Before expressing an opinion, people typically sort and choose their words, for example, selecting terms they believe to be more subtle. Hence, this research aims to discuss the comparison between the meaning and structure of idioms in a novel. The data were taken from the Korean novel as the source language, Phalshipinyeonsaeng Kim Ji Young (82 년생 김지영) by Cho Nam Joo and its translation in Indonesian as the target language, Kim Ji Yeong, Lahir Tahun 1982. Thus, the purpose of this research is to understand the comparison of meanings and structures in idioms of two different languages. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with the results of comparative meaning and structure of idioms from the source language and the target language by discussing semantic studies in the form of their lexical meanings and idiomatic meanings, as well as syntax studies through the constituent structures of these idioms as their theoretical approach. The findings showed the translation techniques, such as translating idioms into idioms, idioms into nonidioms, nonidioms into idioms, and translation by omission of entire idioms. Also, the findings showed the meaning equivalence whether it’s formal or dynamic equivalence in idioms translation that the translator used to convey the message from the author to the reader.
Disability, Religion, and Gender: Exploring Experiences of Exclusion in India Through an Intersectional Lens
Authors: Thompson Stephen , Rohwerder Brigitte , Mukherjee Dolon
Published: December 2023

Despite the existence of national and international laws and conventions to avoid discrimination in India, exclusion due to an intersection of disability, gender, and religious identity continues, resulting in marginalisation from society. This article investigates the lived experiences of people by exploring how aspects of their identity intersect to influence their inclusion or exclusion within society. Narrative interviews were undertaken with 25 participants with disabilities in the states of Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. This qualitative methodology was employed to allow the participants to recount their experiences (both positive and negative) in their own words. A thematic analysis of the data provided rich evidence of the complex social structure in India, manifested by the multifaceted intersectional nature of social inclusion and exclusion. Our research found that for our participants disability was the main factor upon which discrimination was based, but that this discrimination is often compounded for people with disabilities due to their minority religious status, or gender. Marginalisation of people with disabilities is shown to be exacerbated when these identities intersect. Action is needed to ensure the human rights of people with disabilities are realised and that discrimination and marginalisation are avoided for those who have different identities compared to the majority of the population.

A régiók közötti tudás áramlása nagyban befolyásolja a területek innovációs kapacitását, ezáltal a vállalataik eredményességét, ugyanis jelentős mértékű, gazdaságilag hasznosítható információ áramlik adott hálózatokon belül. A tudáshálózatok körében széles körű szakirodalom foglalkozik hálózati pozíció és innovativitás kapcsolatával, azonban ezek döntő része nem tér ki különböző hálózati mutatók párhuzamos értékelésére, valamint a térbeliség elemzésére.
Tanulmányunk célja a Keretprogram (Framework Programme, FP) projektek hálózatára vonatkozóan annak megállapítsa, hogy milyen kapcsolat áll fenn a hálózati pozíció és a régiók innovációs képessége között. Kutatásunk során hat kiinduló regressziós egyenlet segítségével elemezzük a benyújtott szabadalmak számával mért innovatív kapacitásra gyakorolt hatások irányát, valamint a magyarázó erőbeli különbségeket különböző hálózati mutatók (fokszám, közöttiségi, közelségi központiság, valamint ezek súlyozott párjai) esetén. Kutatásunk második szakaszában térökonometriai elemzés segítségével a hálózatok és a tér között fennálló kapcsolat jelentőségét vizsgáljuk.
Eredményeink igazolják, hogy bár a központisági mutatók egyenként mind pozitívan hatnak a regionális innovativitásra, azonban a hatás mértéke, illetve a különböző mutatók magyarázó ereje eltérő. Elemzéseink megerősítik és szintetizálják azon kutatások eredményeit, melyek a régiók kollaborációs hálózatokban elfoglalt pozíciójának tudástermelésben betöltött pozitív szerepét vizsgálják. A kapcsolatok intenzitása továbbá nem elhanyagolható, komoly mértékben befolyásolja a hálózat magyarázó erejét. A térbeli modellek esetében szintén igazolni tudtuk a hálózati és térbeli pozíció együttes hatását, azonban ez a hatás nem minden mutató esetében figyelhető meg. A súlyozott hálózatok esetében a magasabb fokszám, illetve közöttiségi központiság értéke nemcsak az adott régió szabadalom számát növeli, hanem e régió szomszédjai is hasznot tudnak húzni a régió hálózatban elfoglalt jobb helyzetéből.
A hazai terület- és településfejlesztés egyik „állatorvosi lova”: a felsőoktatás leépülése a kevésbé fejlett térségekben
Authors: Lengyel Imre
Published: December 2023

Napjainkban egy-egy térség fejlődése elsősorban a humán tőkéjének színvonalától függ, ezért egyre inkább felértékelődik az oktatás, különösen a felsőoktatás minősége és széles körű elérhetősége. Magyarországon a rendszerváltozás után átalakult a felsőoktatás: jellemzően vidéki képzési helyeken új intézmények jöttek létre és a hallgatók létszáma is ugrásszerűen megnőtt. De a dinamikus növekedés 2006 után megtorpant, ezt követően a hallgatók száma jelentősen visszaesett. A Budapest-központúság mérséklésének hazai területfejlesztési dokumentumokban megfogalmazott célkitűzése nem valósult meg, a hallgatók számának jelentős csökkenése elsősorban a vidéki székhelyű kisebb intézményeknél és a kevésbé fejlett térségek képzési helyein figyelhető meg.Tanulmányomban azt vizsgálom, hogy miként alakultak a hallgatói létszámok 2006 és 2021 között az érintett városokban. Az adatok alapján a nappali tagozatos hallgatók térbeli koncentrálódása egyre jelentősebb: 2021-ben a fővárosban és négy vidéki egyetemi városban vették fel alapképzésekre a hallgatók 85%-át, mester- és osztatlan képzésekre a 93%-át. Amíg a mester- és osztatlan képzéseknél az intézmények versenyéből adódó területi koncentráció elfogadható, addig az ország számára hátrányos az alapképzések koncentrációja, mivel e képzések jelentős része „középiskolásodó” tömegképzés, amelyet közszolgáltatásnak tekintve – a helyi munkaerőpiac igényeihez igazodva, egyúttal a tovább- és átképzések, az élethosszig tartó tanulás intézményi hátterét megteremtve – mindegyik nagyvárosi településegyüttesben meg kellene szervezni. Véleményem szerint a felsőoktatás elmúlt évekbeli átrendeződése nemcsak a kevésbé fejlett térségek felzárkózását, az egyik alapvető területfejlesztési cél elérését nehezíti meg, hanem az ország versenyképességét is hátrányosan befolyásolja.

A 2022. február 24-i, Ukrajna ellen irányuló oroszországi háborús agresszió nem csak Ukrajna politikai-, társadalmi-, gazdasági helyzetére mért kegyetlen csapást, de európai, sőt világviszonylatban példátlan negatív hatást gyakorolt a gazdasági, politikai, kulturális demográfiai folyamatokat illetően. A harcok kezdetével az érintett területekről jelentős számú civil menekült biztonságosabb, főként nyugat-ukrajnai területekre. A menekülők jelentős része továbbment Lengyelország, Magyarország, Románia és Szlovákia irányába, azonban számos belső menekült tartózkodik Kárpátalján, akik nem akarják elhagyni Ukrajnát, mert valamelyik családtagjuk részt vesz a harcokban, nincs hová menniük, vagy egyszerűen ragaszkodnak országukhoz. Ezen menekülők számára – külföldi támogatás és a nemzetközi segélyszervezetek közreműködése által – a kárpátaljai helyi önkormányzatok és civil szervezetek biztosítanak ideiglenes szállást, ellátást, szociális szolgáltatásokat. Jelentős számú menekült érkezett a Kárpátaljai magyarok által lakott településekre is, annak ellenére, hogy az utóbbi években erőteljes magyarellenes kampány zajlott a kárpátaljai magyar kisebbséggel szemben.
Jelen tanulmány egy 2022 májusa és augusztusa között végzett kutatás eredményeit mutatja be, melynek egyik elsődleges célkitűzése volt a kárpátaljai magyar településekre érkező belső menekültek számának, nemi- és korösszetételének felmérése. A kutatás célja volt továbbá a Kárpátalja magyarlakta településeire érkezők megkérdezése a további terveikről, az itt tartózkodásuk idején szerzett pozitív és negatív tapasztalatokat illetően, vagy arról, hogy mi a véleményük Kárpátalja határ menti részének soknemzetiségű képét illetően.
A tanulmány első részében Ukrajna lakosságszámának alakulásának rövid összefoglalója található az utóbbi három évtizedre vonatkozóan, illetve a háború ukrajnai menekültjeinek Európán és országhatárokon belüli eloszlását vizsgáljuk. A tanulmány második felében a Beregszászi járás határmenti településeire érkezett 215 belső menekült által kitöltött kérdőív eredményei kerülnek bemutatásra.
An Integrated Kernel PCA Neural Network and EGM for Number of Sources Estimation in Wireless Communication
Authors: Mohammed Hussein Miry Et al.
Published: December 2023

The present work argues estimating number of sources in communication system using an integrated model of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) neural network and kernel method to produce Eigenvalue Grads Method (EGM). The essential advantage of this new suggested model is that, PCA neural is used to determine the covariance matrix   instead of the traditional computation process which is time consuming. Simulation outcomes of this adopted model demonstrate wonderful responses through effectiveness, fast converge speed for (PCA) neural network, as well as achieving correct number of sources.
