Authors: Ouyang Wuchong , Shu Jianping
Published: October 2023

Rural public services can be improved by optimizing rural sports governance. In this paper, mathematical-statistical methods for data mining are studied based on the phenomenon of village BA in Guizhou. According to the basic statistical inference method, the data deletion model and the mean drift model under ellipsoidal constraint are discussed to obtain the equivalence between the diagnostic statistics of the two models. The relationships between the estimated quantities before and after deletion and the hat matrix are given for the data deletion model, and the influence functions under such constraints are established while the corresponding mining algorithms for the influence points are designed. The behaviors of participation in the physical exercise had an OR of 4.716 in the model and an OR of 1.375 for walking cumulatively for more than 10 minutes per day, with highly significant differences.

Authors: Jia Man
Published: October 2023

This paper analyzes the personal career planning of teachers in higher education institutions, the influencing mechanisms, and the influencing factors. A systematic GMM model was constructed by combining differential GMM estimation and horizontal GMM estimation, and the systematic GMM estimation commonly used in dynamic panels was improved and applied using more effective instrumental variables and continuously updated objective functions. The results of the GMM analysis obtained through the selection of the influencing factors showed that the proportion of senior teachers’ willingness to personal career development and planning decreased by -0.04 and 0.02, respectively, and the proportion of negative development to total development willingness increased by +0.02 and +0.01, respectively, and the proportion of positive development to total development willingness increased by +0.03 and +0.01, respectively, and all of them were significant at the 1% level.
Statistics and effect evaluation of college students’ participation in Civic Education based on multiple linear regression method
Authors: Fei Yanhui
Published: October 2023

This paper first designs the study of college students’ ideological and political participation behaviors and determines the independent, dependent, mediating, and control variables of multiple linear regression based on ideological and political participation behaviors. Then, the original data were obtained using questionnaires, the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was selected to test the reliability of the questionnaires, and the logical structure of the multiple linear regression model was used to explore the participation degree of college students in ideological and political education and the evaluation of teaching effectiveness based on the multiple linear regression model. The results showed that the relationship between the three dimensions of intrinsic ideological and political efficacy and ideological and political participation behavior was significant and positive regarding the participation degree of ideological and political education. In terms of teaching effectiveness, the regression coefficient R is 0.507, which indicates that the independent variable influences the dependent variable, i.e., 50.7% of the variation of the dependent variable “college students’ evaluation of Civics class”, with a small standard deviation, which indicates that college students’ evaluation of Civics teaching effectiveness and Civics teachers are the same. This paper aims to improve students' awareness of ideological and political participation, as well as their ability to participate and promote the cultivation of qualified citizens in the new era.

Research on ADS-B spoof detection technology based on radio spectrum features
Authors: Li Jiahe , Zhou Yazhou
Published: October 2023

This paper discusses and analyzes the 1090ES mode ADS-B and examines the airborne ADS-B transponder and ground monitoring sensing nodes. The ADS-B signal receiver structure converts the received radio signal to a zero IF signal for digital filtering to obtain phase information. The cognitive radio spectrum monitoring technology mainly uses periodic characteristic monitoring to maximize the network's security in the era of artificial intelligence. For a set of ADS-B messages from the same source, the correlation coefficients of the two variation amounts are carried out to discriminate between real targets and spoofed interference, and the source consistency detection method is used to reduce the probability of false alarms. The results show that when the number of signal bars is greater than 11, the correlation value of the real signal is greater than 0.61, while the correlation value of the spoofed signal is around 0.22, which can be better distinguished.

Published: October 2023

Pet owners rely on veterinary clinics to meet the healthcare needs of their pets, and yet, many veterinary clinics still manage data using conventional methods without fully utilizing digital information systems. This leads to issues such as repetitive registration, difficulties in obtaining copies of medical records, and challenges in finding nearby veterinary clinics. This research aims to address these problems by designing and developing a mobile web application for a veterinary clinic marketplace. The application consists of two main components. The front-end utilizes the React.js library based on Progressive Web Apps (PWA), while the back-end utilizes the Express.js framework. To ensure the overall functionality of the application, black box testing is conducted by the developer. Through this approach, the application is expected to assist pet owners in searching for and accessing information about veterinary clinics, viewing the services provided, and managing pet medical records digitally and easily. This research contributes to optimizing data management in veterinary clinics and enhancing the experience of pet owners.
SOLUSI ALTERNATIF PENYAMPAIAN INFORMASI DENGAN TOLERANSI WAKTU TUNDA UNTUK PENGGUNA LAYANAN KOMUNIKASI DATA PADA VEHICULAR NETWORK
Authors: Salsabila Wardhani Nurul , Hosea Halim Melky Sedek , Indra ER Ngurah
Published: October 2023

Data demand from personal mobile devices over cellular networks is rapidly increasing. For time-delay tolerant data, the use of paid technology is inefficient. As an alternative for time-delay tolerant data delivery, opportunistic networks are emerging as an effective infrastructure-less communication model. Before it can be used as an alternative solution, it is necessary to analyze the performance of using opportunistic networks, especially the basic routing patterns used. This research analyzes the performance of routing patterns in opportunistic networks by utilizing inter-vehicle networks as mobile nodes in Denpasar City. Two basic routing patterns, namely epidemic and spray and wait, are simulated using The ONE Simulator into two scenarios including a scenario of increasing the average vehicle and a scenario of increasing the buffer size. The simulation results show that in the inter-vehicle network utilization, epidemic routing pattern is superior to spray and wait in terms of delivery probability and average latency, but when assessing in terms of overhead ratio, spray and wait routing pattern can provide lower results. This shows that the epidemic routing pattern is suitable for systems that do not care about high resource utilization.

Authors: Sökmen Alaattin , Babaoğlu Ali Rıza
Published: October 2023

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is known as the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), which is a worldwide distributed disease and has also been detected in marketed beef and dairy products. BLV causes significant economic losses due to the loss of milk and yield or the slaughter of animals without adequate development. It has been reported in epidemiological studies that this infection is common in Türkiye, especially in the western provinces. There is no data on the possible presence or prevalence of BLV infection and its seroepidemiology in Muş province. The aim of this study is to determine the possible presence and prevalence of the infection, its role in yield losses, and to obtain epidemiological data on cattle farming in the Muş district. For this purpose, 300 blood serum samples were collected from cattle aged six months and older in the province of Muş and its different districts. The blood serum samples taken were tested for the presence of BLV-specific antibodies by agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) methods. As a result of the study, all of the controlled districts were evaluated as negative in the AGID and C-ELISA tests for the presence of BLV-specific antibodies. In conclusion, for the first time, it was demonstrated that cattle farming in the Muş province were BLV-free during the sampling period. Although BLV seropositivity was not detected in the tested animals, it is emphasized that the control of infection and eradication program should not be ignored.

DNA extraction from algae presents unique challenges due to the production of various polysaccharides and polyphenols, which can act as PCR inhibitors. Consequently, optimizing DNA extraction methods becomes necessary for different groups of algae. The Cladophora genus, known for its high morphological variability influenced by environmental conditions and developmental stages, can benefit from molecular genetic analysis in addressing taxonomic and phylogenetic inquiries within the green algae family.

In this context, the primary objective of this study was to select an appropriate DNA extraction method for herbarium specimens of Cladophora algae and evaluate the extracted DNA's suitability for PCR. The study compared two DNA extraction methods, namely the SureFood PREP Basic kit from R-Biopharm and the Quick DNA Mini Prep kit from Zymo Research. Subsequently, the isolated DNA was subjected to PCR using the universal primer iPBS 2080 with different reaction mixtures containing Dream-Taq polymerase and Sso7d DNA polymerase.

The results revealed that the DNA concentrations and purification rates obtained from samples extracted using the SureFood PREP Basic kit were notably superior. However, PCR using these DNA samples did not yield positive results, likely due to the presence of inhibitors. On the other hand, DNA extracted using the Quick DNA Mini Prep kit exhibited lower purification rates but likely contained fewer DNA polymerase inhibitors. This allowed for successful amplification with the iPBS 2080 primer, utilizing the high-efficiency Sso7d polymerase, known for its resistance to inhibitors.

Brazil and the Afro-Asian World: a Decolonial Approach
Authors: Alves de Paula Lima Marcelo
Published: October 2023

The Brazilian path to political emancipation that culminated two centuries ago was a rather peculiar one. After becoming the head of the Portuguese empire in 1808, Brazil became an independent country under the rule of the same royal family that governed the colony. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how the Brazilian independence did not entail a delinking from Portugal, due to which the Brazilian Western identity was taken for granted. We will also discuss how this absence of delinking had consequences in the long run. Despite the Brazilian colonial past, several intellectuals and foreign policymakers assumed the Brazilian Western identity and made disdainful and hostile comments when writing on the Afro-Asian decolonization process.
The Art of Diplomacy
Authors: Melim Gadelha Hayle
Published: October 2023

The show ‘The Art of Diplomacy – Brazilian Modernism Painted for War’ was opened on 5th April and displayed until 22nd June 2018 at the Sala Brasil, the exhibition space of the Brazilian Embassy in Trafalgar Square, London. This was a partial restaging and tribute to the 1944-1945 ‘Exhibition of Modern Brazilian Paintings’, held at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and seven other major galleries across the United Kingdom. Out of the one-hundred-sixty eight original artworks, twenty-four paintings by twenty artists were found in the public galleries of seventeen cities throughout the UK. They were shown, together with a video produced for this occasion and several historical documents unearthed during a four-year academic research project. The investigation for this meta-exhibition inspired this author’s PhD dissertation on “Public Diplomacy on the Front Line: The Exhibition of Modern Brazilian Paintings within Brazil’s Second World War Foreign Policy”, for which this essay serves as a sort of epilogue. The dissertation hermeneutically examined the diplomatic motivations and outcomes of this wartime initiative, concluding that it was a public component of a foreign policy designed to increase Brazil’s prestige in the aftermath of WW2. It also demonstrates that the exhibition was a successful endeavour, although its outcomes were weakened by the political discontinuity that followed the replacement of its mastermind, Minister Oswaldo Aranha (1894-1960), and President Getúlio Vargas (1882-1954). The TAoD, which was diplomacy-driven as much as the exhibition that it celebrated, took place within a historical, political and cultural context entirely different from the one in which the original show came into existence. The purpose of this paper is to describe how the 2018 project evolved vis- à -vis its diplomatic background, while also forming a corpus for future analyses and interpretations.
Fire and Death in the Amazon
Authors: BUARQUE DANIEL , Gondim Mariutti Fabiana
Published: October 2023

The assassination of the British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian expert on Indigenous peoples Bruno Pereira in the Amazon has become a symbol of the transformation’s role of the rainforest for the international status of Brazil. From an asset for the country, the destruction of nature has increased negative views of Brazil. This paper analyzes this reputational transformation. It combines three methods as following: (i) a qualitative study of the perceptions held by the foreign policy community of the P5 about the country; (ii) a review of the main changes of environmental policies under Bolsonaro, (iii) and a quantitative and systematic analysis of the international media coverage about Brazil’s image and, specifically, regarding the deaths of Phillips and Pereira. Based on these main analyses, the study argues that the progressive destruction of the Amazon has become a concrete liability for the status of the country.

In this interview, Dunja Fehimović (Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at the Newcastle University) and Rebecca Ogden (Lecturer in Latin American Studies at the University of Kent) examine how perceptions of national image and reputation are shaped in the continent, which is the focs of their book "Branding Latin America: Strategies, Aims, Resistance". They discuss the way Latin America has experienced global visibility and competitiveness since colonial times and argue that the production of an uneven playing field in the world makes the continent an interesting case of analysis in terms of branding. While the countries in the region are still perceived as peripheral, branding strategies have been seen as a means to intervene in the global system to retell national storylines or shed unfavourable ones --with uneven results in each of the countries that have attempted it.

Authors: Suroso Dwi Joko , Adiyatma Farid Yuli Martin , Cherntanomwong Panarat
Published: October 2023

Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) sensing utilization has been widespread, especially for human behavior/activity recognition. It provides high flexibility since it does not require the person/object to carry any device known as device-free. This "passive" concept is also helpful for another application of Wi-Fi sensing, i.e., indoor localization. The "sensing" is conducted using particular parameters extracted from communication links of Wi-Fi devices, i.e., channel state information (CSI). This paper explores the recent trends in CSI-based indoor localization with Wi-Fi technology as its core, including their advantages, challenges, and future directions. We found tremendous benefits can be gained by employing Wi-Fi sensing in localization supported by its performance and integrability for other intelligent systems for activity recognition.

Authors: Zhytnikova M. Yu. , Shestopalova A. V.
Published: October 2023

Background: In the past decades, the rapid development of molecular biology has led to a generation of an unprecedented amount of biological data obtained by the scientific community. Therefore, there is a significant and unmet need to store, process, and make sense of such a vast amount of data. There are currently available a number of databases, that cover different fields of molecular biology.

Objectives: In this paper, we describe Protein-Nucleic Acid Structural Database with Information on Accessible Surface Area, ProtNA-ASA, http://www.ire.kharkov.ua/ProtNA-ASA/index.php. The main aim of ProtNA-ASA is to provide quick and convenient access to structural information about DNA and protein-DNA complexes, that can be used for comprehensive study of protein-DNA recognition.

Materials and Methods: ProtNA-ASA database comprise information based on X-ray or NMR structures derived from Nucleic Acids Data Bank: 973 structures of protein-DNA complexes, 129 structures of naked А- and 403 of B-DNA ones; following structural parameters for each structure: conformational DNA parameters calculated with the 3DNA/CompDNA analyzer; DNA accessible surface area calculated using the modified algorithm of Higo and Go; DNA electrostatic potential calculated with DelPhi package.

Results: The recent update of ProtNA-ASA includes the electrostatic potential of the DNA minor groove since it plays an essential role in the indirect protein-DNA recognition process. The update also includes an advanced search, which serves to ease the use of the database and contribute to a more accurate structure selection. Advanced search allows finding structures by PDB/NDB ID, citation, length and sequence of a protein or DNA chain, type of structure, method of structure obtaining and resolution. All these queries can be used in different combinations with and/or statements.

Conclusion: The combination of structural information and physical characteristics from the ProtNA-ASA database is particularly useful to scientists studying the indirect readout, that based on DNA deformability. The detail analyzes of protein-DNA complexes and mechanisms of protein-DNA recognition is essential for implications in understanding cellular processes, DNA metabolism, transcriptional regulation, and developing therapeutic drugs.
The DIVIDED SELF metaphor and conceptualizations of the internal conflict in suicide notes
Authors: Ananieva Nika
Published: October 2023

This paper presents DIVIDED SELF metaphor analysis conducted drawing from the discourse of suicidal notes. The suicide notes represent a distinct genre because of its typical rhetorical structure and communicative purpose. In particular, the internal conflict experienced by the authors of suicidal notes makes this material suitable for an analysis of the metaphorical conceptualization of one’s own DIVIDED SELF. The research aims at modeling the conceptualization of one’s own conflicting SELF by the authors of the suicide notes and proposing approach to the metaphorical conceptualizations of the DIVIDED SELF as metaphtonymy, as well as describing their potential for representing the individual’s internal conflict. First, the cognitive framing of the inner SELF of the authors, divided into the instances of the Subject and the Self, was investigated. Second, in order to analyze metaphtonymic connections between the individual’s inner conceptualizations, the agentivity of the inner SELF conceptualizations was compared. Third, a metaphtonymic configuration of SELF conceptualizations was modeled and the potential of metaphorical framing of extreme psychological states through the metaphthonymic representation of the SELF described. The material of the study consisted of a corpus with a total size of 164,483 lexical units (the CEASE corpus combined with a self-assembled corpus of suicide notes). As demonstrated by the analysis, the aspect of the Self mainly acts as a fragmentation of the author in the DIVIDED SELF metaphor. That is, the study allowed to model metaphorical conceptualizations metaphtonymically and structure the stages of the formation of metaphtonymy through the visual illustrations.
Fauna-inspired fashion through the English language glass
Authors: Belova Alla
Published: October 2023

The article deals with representation of animal-inspired fashion highlights in the English fashion discourse with the focus on evolution of naming systems, categorization, multimodality, advertising and marketing strategies valid for online commerce. Animalistic motifs are considered on the basis of language-naming practices for clothes, footwear, accessories, jewelry and make-up. Fashion has become an important field of communication in modern world. Now it generates multimodal fashion discourse and refined fashion narrative with countless articles and innumerable posts on social media, Instagrammable looks of celebrities and influeuncers imitated by thousands of fashion fans. Glamorous fashion events are prominent social gatherings, which entail extensive international media coverage making a noticeable domain of online landscape. In the 21st century, radical changes in fashion were triggered by ecology movement and animal advocacy movement. Wild and domestic animals were used for clothes making for centuries but in the 21st century due to animal personhood movement and vegan fashion animals are likely to turn into a mere source of inspiration for designers. The shift in world vision and values triggers changes in customers' mentality and promotes creativity of fashion designers. Animal-inspired prints, gowns, footwear, accessories become means of self-expression and personification. Modern designers reinterpret the iconic images of the past bringing fashion to a new level what results into new word coinages in English, new distribution of fashion lexemes. Ergonyms – names of fashion items – contain indexical signs and might get associative meaning and emotional meaning being connected with famous people and celebrities. The list of animalistic fashion terms with indexal names is getting longer in the wake of the attempts to introduce new prints into fashion industry. Online business dictates advertising and marketing strategies with catchy names, slogans and detailed linguistic description of goods. Naming conventions are being changed as animal-prints get connotations, associations; lexical units acquire occasional intensifiers and determiners. Playfulness of animal-inspired fashion items is conveyed via humorous names and naming components. Zoomorphic accessories give rise to new portmanteau words. Modern fashion discourse proves linguistic practices and naming conventions are becoming more sophisticated and intricate.
The Tax Policy and Macro Management: Evidence in Vietnam
Authors: Dinh D. V. , Ha N. T.
Published: October 2023

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to improve the tax policy of Vietnam.

The scientific novelty of the study lies in the application of a regression model for analysing GDP dynamics to determine the optimal tax policy.

The purpose of this study is to study the relationship between the tax-to-GDP ratio and economic growth, the optimal threshold for the tax-toGDP ratio, and to compare empirical results with actual tax-to-GDP ratios as a basis for improving tax policy and government micromanagement.

The methodology of this study includes a threshold regression model, a unit root test, and a cointegration test to examine the impact of the ratio of tax revenues to GDP-on-GDP growth. The author used actual data on the dynamics of tax revenues and GDP over a 25-year period: from 1994 to 2020, reflected the development of economic growth studies.

It is shown that the ratio of tax revenues to GDP and GDP growth are closely related at the level of 86%. The relationship between Vietnam’s tax policy and economic growth is long-term, and the optimal threshold for the ratio of tax revenue to GDP is 19%, which leads to economic growth. It is concluded that the government should make more efforts to improve fiscal policy and macro management to stimulate economic growth and reduce the budget deficit. Fiscal policy has a significant impact on business entities, that is, economic organizations that create wealth for society and high employment, which leads to a decrease in unemployment. The results of the study can be used to form the tax policy of Vietnam.
Assessment of Homogeneity and Convergence of Environmental Performance of Enterprises into One Holding
Authors: Karginova-Gubinova V. V.
Published: October 2023

Taking into account the need for transition to sustainable development of the economy, it seems relevant to consider whether the holding is an effective structure to minimize the negative impact on the environment: is there a convergence of the environmental performance of the holding’s enterprises with a general increase in its responsibility?

The purpose of the research is to assess the degree of homogeneity and convergence of the environmental performance of Russian enterprises within the same holding, as well as to determine the relationship between the current level of homogeneity of the holding and the rate of its convergence and overall environmental responsibility. The environmental performance of 11 Russian holdings and 105 constituent enterprises for 2017–2021 was examined.

The methodology involved the calculation of entropy and descriptive statistics; the evaluation of the homogeneity of holdings and its convergence, phase transition periods, and the relationship between homogeneity and other characteristics using analysis of variance and regression.

The results of the study showed that Russian holdings correspond to the ascending line of the entropic criterion of social development, but at present the phase transition from a heterogeneous to a homogeneous state is incomplete, and homogeneous holdings are unstable. The influence of the type of corporate environmental policy on the homogeneity of the holding, the degree of its convergence and environmental responsibility was revealed.

The scientific novelty of the work lies in the consideration of homogeneity and convergence of environmental characteristics of systematically unstudied objects — t he enterprises of one holding; the inappropriateness of the perception of holdings as homogeneous objects is confirmed. Theoretical significance has shown the possibility of using the entropic criterion of the theory of social development and dialectical logic to study the homogeneity and convergence of the indicators of holdings, as well as the developed methodology of their assessment.

Recommendations for the authorities and managers of companies, the implementation of which will increase the sustainability of the economy, are of practical value.

Thepurposeof this study is to develop tools for assessing the state of regional banks and to justify decisions on the allocation of resources between their business areas by adapting existing methods of banking management to the new economic environment.

The authors apply both generalscientificmethods(induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis) andspecial methods: systematic and retrospective analysis of existing developments in bank decisions.

Theresultsof the application of these methods are the mathematical models describing the functioning of the credit-deposit and transaction of commercial banks of Tatarstan in the past three years from the point of elasticity of actives and liabilities’ substitution. In the paper, we systematized the indicators of actives and liabilities of the five largest commercial banks in Tatarstan in 2019–2022, we approved the equations that characterize these actives and liabilities’ substitution elasticity in MS Excel.

Theconclusionis that in most cases, there is a unitary elasticity of their mutual substitution, which leads to the conclusion that the Tatarstan banking system is currently in the growth stage of a new life cycle, which began in 2014, after the Russian economy entered new realities due to sanctions pressure. The recommendations were formulated for the banks of Tatarstan in terms of improving the quality of loan portfolios in new conditions: they should improve the methods of making decisions about the loans for companies’ business activities which are first created.

Güvenlik günümüzde en önemli sorunlardan birisidir. Kişilerin artan iş yükleri ve gündelik programlarının yoğunluğu yaşadıkları kişisel alanların güvenliklerini sağlamalarını zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu nedenle çoğu insan mesken ve ofislerine güvenlik sistemi oluşturma ihtiyacı hissetmektedir. Birçok akıllı ev sistemine dâhil edilmiş güvenlik sistemi bulunmaktadır. Akıllı güvenlik sistemleriyle özel mülke izinsiz girişleri takip edebilmekle birlikte gaz kaçağı, su baskını, yangın, deprem vb. gibi birçok durumdan uzaktan haberdar olunabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada düşük maliyetli GSM tabanlı bir ev güvenlik sistemi tasarımı yapılmıştır. Tasarım modüler bir yapıda ve genel amaçlı kullanıma uygun bir şekilde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tasarlanan donanımda geniş voltaj aralığında analog ve dijital sinyal okuyabilecek girişler ve kuru kontak röle çıkışları mevcut bırakılmıştır. Böylece birçok sensor ya da aygıtın bu donanım ile birlikte kullanılabilmesi sağlanmıştır. İnsan vücudunun gözle görülemeyen kızılötesi formda bir miktar ısı enerjisi ürettiği olgusundan yola çıkılarak algılama ve alarm ve uyarı sistemi oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Tasarımda maliyeti etkileyecek en önemli malzemeler olan işlemci ve GSM modülün modüler olarak ayrı bir kartta toplanması sürekli artarak değişen malzeme fiyatlarına karşı hızlıca değişim yapabilme imkanı sağlaması bu çalışmanın özgün yanını oluşturmaktadır. Tasarımın sade olması ucuz bir işlemci ve GSM modül kullanılabilmesine imkân sağlamıştır. Ayrıca modüler yapı sayesinde fiyat artışlarında ya da 2G’den 4G’ye geçiş gibi teknolojik değişmelerde hızlıca dönüştürülebilir bir tasarım geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın ana senaryosu güvenlik sisteminin kurulduğu alanda ihlal algılandığında GSM alt yapısı kullanılarak ihlal durumunun belirlenmiş noktalara bildirilmesi şeklinde oluşturulmuştur ve düşük maliyetli bir tasarım olması ön planda tutulmuştur.

Hafif çelik yapılarla ilgili yürütülen araştırmalardaki son gelişmeler ve güncellenen tasarım yönergeleri sayesinde hafif çelik elemanların inşaat süreçlerinde kullanımı önemli ölçüde artmıştır. Değişken kesit özelliklerine sahip hafif çelik elemanlar ince çelik sacların soğuk şekillendirme aracılıyla bükülmesiyle elde edilmektedir. Bu elemanların yapılarda kullanılmasıyla ekonomik, hafif, verimli ve esnek yapılar tasarlanabilmektedir. Fakat, yapısı gereği hafif çelik elemanları oluşturan ince çelik saclarda nakliye, kurulum ve hatta üretim nedeniyle şekilsel kusurlar oluşabilmektedir. Bu şekilsel kusurlar hafif çelik elemanların fiziksel davranışlarını etkileyebilmektedir. Bu nedenle, hafif çelik bir elemanın fiziksel davranışını doğru bir şekilde değerlendirebilmek için mevcut şekilsel kusurları belirlemek ve bu şekilsel kusurların hafif çelik eleman davranışı üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak gerekir. Ancak, hafif çelik elemanların kapsamlı şekilsel kusur dağılımlarını çıkarabilmek için detaylı yüzey verisine ihtiyaç vardır. Son yıllarda yürütülen çalışmalarda yüzey verisi üç boyutlu (3B) tarayıcı sistemler kullanılarak elde edilmektedir. Fakat, 3B veri toplama işlemi kullanılan özel ekipmanlar sebebiyle maliyetli bir işlemdir. Bu çalışmada, incelenen hafif çelik elemanların yüzeyinden standart bir kamera ile toplanan iki boyutlu (2B) görüntülerden kapsamlı 3B yüzey verilerinin çıkarılması için düşük maliyetli bir metodoloji önerilmiştir. Oluşturulan 3B verinin ileriki çalışmalarda şekilsel kusur çıkarımı için kullanılacak detay ve çözünürlükte olması hedeflenmiştir.
Biyolojik ve İleri Biyolojik Atıksu Arıtma Tesislerinin Karbon Ayak İzinin Yaşam Döngüsü Temelinde Belirlenmesi

Atıksuda bulunan kirleticileri gidererek temiz çıkış suyu üretmek için tasarlanan ve inşa edilen atıksu arıtma tesisleri (AAT), kentsel sistemler için temel gereksinimdir. Söz konusu tesisler ham atıksuyun alıcı ortamlara deşarjı nedeniyle oluşabilecek çevresel etkilerin azaltılmasını sağlamaktadır. Buna karşılık, faaliyetleri sürecinde gerek kaynak tüketimleri (su, elektrik gibi) gerekse emisyon oluşturmaları (metan, nitroz oksit gibi) nedeniyle bu tesislerin çevresel açıdan sürdürülebilirliklerinin değerlendirilmesi önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, farklı özellikler taşıyan bir adet biyolojik (klasik aktif çamur prosesi) ve bir adet ileri biyolojik (A2/O prosesi) atıksu arıtma tesisinin işletilmesi sürecinin karbon ayak izi yaşam döngüsü yaklaşımı ile hesaplanmış ve karşılaştırılmıştır. Karbon ayak izi, yaşam döngüsü değerlendirmesi (YDD)’nde küresel ısınma potansiyelinin (KIP) bir göstergesidir. Çalışma kapsamında SimaPro 9.2 yazılımı ve IPCC 2013(100a) etki değerlendirme metodu kullanılmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen etki değerlendirme sonucunda, A2/O prosesine sahip atıksu arıtma tesisinin küresel ısınma potansiyeli 1,64 kg CO2 eşd/m3.atıksu, klasik aktif çamur prosesine sahip atıksu arıtma tesisinin küresel ısınma potansiyeli ise 1,23 kg CO2 eşd/m3.atıksu olarak hesaplanmıştır. Envanter analizi sonuçları araştırıldığında, değerlendirmenin yapıldığı atıksu arıtma tesislerine bağlı ortaya çıkan KIP etkisinin metan (CH4) ve nitroz oksit (N2O) emisyonları ile ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Arıtma tesisi ünitelerinin KIP üzerindeki etkileri karşılaştırıldığında, biyolojik arıtma ünitesinin KIP üzerindeki katkısının en yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Atıksu arıtma tesislerinin işletilmesi sürecindeki proseslerin (su geri kazanımı, arıtma çamuru bertarafı, direkt sera gazı oluşumu, arıtılmış atıksuyun alıcı ortama deşarjı, kimyasal madde tüketimi, nakliye ve elektrik tüketimi) etkileri değerlendirildiğinde ise arıtma çamuru bertarafı için seçilen yöntemin ve elektrik tüketiminin küresel ısınma potansiyeli etki kategorisi üzerinde önemli ve belirleyici olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

This study examined the genetic diversity of 13 tea tree samples to establish a variety discrimination system for the three Gimhae wild tea colonies using ISSR markers and to provide basic data for genetic diversity analysis. Seven primers that showed polymorphic and reproducible results among 100 ISSR universal primers were selected and used to amplify the genomic DNA of the 13 tea trees from three Gimhae wild tea colonies. The results demonstrated that all seven primers generated 117 bands with a 100% polymorphic band ratio. The average observed number of alleles was 2.0. The average effective number of alleles was 1.5323, while the average Nei's gene diversity was 0.3271. The average Shannon's Information index was 0.5001. The genetic similarity among the 13 tea tree samples ranged from 0.4444 to 0.8718, while the genetic distance ranged from 0.1372 to 0.8109. The 13 tea trees in three Gimhae wild colonies displayed a high level of genetic diversity, and the Dongsangdong and Sangdong samples in the three Gimhae wild colonies had a genetic similarity greater than 0.8 with Chinese tea species, indicating a close relationship with Chinese tea. Overall, these findings provide a theoretical basis for preserving and cultivating Gimhae wild tea trees.
