Izafet as a Means of Expressing the Functional-Semantic Category of Measure in the Yakut Language
Authors: Ivanova I. B.
Published: February 2024

The current paper is the first to consider possessive (one-suffix) phrases in the functional-semantic aspect, designating spatial measures (level, distance, length, size, time, etc.) in Yakut. In the Yakut and Turkic linguistics, the study of the category of belonging, namely, isafet, has a long history. But possessive constructions based on the isafet have not been presented until now as a means of expressing the functional-semantic category of measure. The purpose of the article is to identify and analyse the structural and semantic features of possessive constructions expressing measure in the Yakut language. To achieve this goal, we considered the history of the study of possessive constructions in Turkic and Yakut linguistics and analyzed the structure and semantics of constructions to determine the carrier of quantitative semes in each construction. The object of the study is the determinative phrases (isafet) formed morphologically, namely with the help of the affix of the 3rd person singular -a (-e, -o, -o), -ta (-te, -to, -to). The main methods used in the study were systematization, analysis of syntactic units, morphemic description (glossing) of a lexical unit, descriptive method and semantic analysis to identify the functions of possessive constructions. As a result of the systematization in terms of functional grammar, three main groups have been identified: possessive constructions with special lexemes for measurement – classifiers, comparative postpositions saҕa, kurduk’, as if with the affix of the instrumental case -nan, also the affix of the dative case -ar, -gar. The classifier in the isafet is an indicator that allows us to more clearly express parametric data in the language. Phrases with postpositional-case components express intersubject relations “the subject and its part”, with the affix of the dative case – locative relations. With the help of functional and semantic studies of language or speech, we penetrate into the national system of language behavior, a specific worldview and thinking process of the people.

Рассмотрена кинетическая модель распространения звука во флуктуирующей морской среде, основанная на интегро-дифференциальном уравнении переноса излучения. Сформулирована обратная задача для уравнения переноса излучения со сосредоточенным импульсным источником звука, заключающаяся в определении поверхностей разрыва коэффициента рассеяния по временно-угловому распределению плотности потока. Разработан численный алгоритм решения обратной задачи, основанный на введении специальной индикаторной функции, явно указывающей на местоположение искомых поверхностей. Проведенное компьютерное моделирование процесса высокочастотного зондирования на частотах от 100 до 600 кГц показало эффективность предложенного алгоритма.

In this paper, we present a kinetic model for sound propagation in a fluctuating marine environment based on an integro-differential radiative transfer equation. The paper formulates an inverse problem for the radiative transfer equation with a localized pulsed sound source to determine the discontinuity surfaces of the scattering coefficient from the known time-angular density flux distribution. We develop a numerical algorithm to solve the inverse problem, based on introducing a special indicator function that identifies the locations of the sought surfaces. Computer simulations of the probing process at frequencies from 100 to 600 kHz demonstrate the effectiveness of algorithm proposed in identifying the boundaries of inhomogeneities at long distances.

Authors: Singha Hazari Arijit , Chandra Shubhadeep , Becker Patrick , Liu Hang , Klemm Elias , Kästner Johannes , Sarkar Biprajit
Published: February 2024

We report here nickel(II) complexes (Ni-1 and Ni-2) of triply fused (covalently linked through β–β, meso–meso, β′–β′ linkages) porphyrins functionalized with tert-butyl and O-hexyl chains for the investigation of the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The analogous monometallic porphyrins Ni-3 and Ni-4 were also synthesized for comparative analysis. Cyclic voltammetry of the bimetallic complexes functionalized with tert-butyl and O-hexyl chains showed an anodic shift in reduction potentials of Ni-1. The influence of the long alkyl chains was even more pronounced during electrochemical proton reduction with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), as confirmed by the higher icat/ip and rate constants (kobs) of Ni-2 compared to Ni-1. Additionally, Faradaic efficiencies for the HER is more than 90 % for Ni-2, which is three times larger than Ni-1. Ni-2 also displays turnover numbers that are more than 200 times larger than Ni-1. A mechanistic investigation using UV-vis-NIR and EPR spectroscopy as well theoretical calculations indicate the involvement of the doubly reduced species as an active catalytic intermediate in the electrocatalytic process.
Investigating capacity fade mechanisms in Mg-MgClx batteries
Authors: Stradley Steven H. , Jones John-Paul , Bugga Ratnakumar V. , See Kimberly
Published: February 2024

Mg batteries are a promising alternative to Li-based chemistries due to the high abundance, low cost, and high volumetric capacity of Mg relative to Li. Mg is also less prone to dendritic plating morphologies, promising safer operation. Mg plating and stripping is highly efficient in chloride-containing electrolytes; however, chloride is incompatible with many candidate cathode materials. In this work, we capitalize on the positive effect of chloride by using transition metal chloride cathodes with a focus on low cost, Earth-abundant metals. Both soluble and sparingly soluble chlorides show capacity fade upon cycling. Active material dissolution and subsequent crossover to the Mg anode are the primary drivers of capacity fade in highly soluble metal chloride cathodes. We hypothesize that incomplete conversion and chemical reduction by the Grignard-based electrolyte are major promoters of capacity fade in sparingly soluble metal chlorides. Modifications to the electrolyte can improve capacity retention, suggesting that future work in this system may yield low cost, high retention Mg-MgClx batteries.

Authors: DIALLO Mamadou Kalan
Published: February 2024

The coexistence of biomolecules in the living being blood, and urine plays a crucial function in the biological systems. For i.e., in human organism, generally there coexist Ascorbic Acid (AA) and Dopamine (DA) in the extracellular fluid. Moreover, in the human’s blood and urine, it coexists Uric Acid (UA) and (AA). Therefore, these compounds are of great interest in biomedical function which play a essential factor in the human metabolism, central nervous, renal systems, and beyond. However, abnormal levels of these molecules can lead to a drop-off in the biological system purpose. So, that, since long time ego, as described here, there are many materials in diverse forms that have been designed and developed for both biomolecules oxidation and detection. However, it still some issues to master this concern such the materials costs, the process optimization and cost, the environmental friendliness of the suggested catalysts, and so on. Therefore, there is a higher need in the development of a new and powerful platforms for the early and facile sensing of these biomolecules with cost- effective, high selectivity, as well as best sensitivity, superior stability.

Published: February 2024

Machine learning models for chemical retrosynthesis have attracted substantial interest in recent years. Unaddressed challenges, particularly the absence of robust evaluation metrics for performance comparison, and the lack of black-box interpretability, obscure model limitations and impede progress in the field. We present an automated benchmarking pipeline designed for effective model performance comparisons. With an emphasis on user-friendly design, we aim to streamline accessibility and facilitate utilisation within the research community. Additionally, we suggest and perform a new interpretability study to uncover the degree of chemical understanding acquired by retrosynthesis models. Our results reveal that frameworks based on chemical reaction rules yield the most diverse, chemically valid, and feasible reactions, whereas purely data-driven frameworks suffer from unfeasible and invalid predictions. The interpretability study emphasises that incorporating reaction rules not only enhances model performance but also improves interpretability. For simple molecules, we demonstrate that Graph Neural Networks identify relevant functional groups within the product molecule, providing thermodynamic stabilisation over the reactant precursors. In contrast, the popular Transformer fails to identify such crucial stabilisation. As the molecule and reaction mechanism grow more complex, both data-driven models propose unfeasible disconnections without offering a chemical rationale. We stress the importance of incorporating chemically meaningful descriptors within deep-learning models. Our study provides valuable guidance for the future development of retrosynthesis frameworks.

This prospective observational study, conducted at the Department of General Surgery, SRM Medical College and Hospital, aimed to assess the effectiveness of tissue culture and sensitivity compared to swab culture and sensitivity in the healing of diabetic foot ulcers through antibiotic sensitivity of microorganisms. Between May 2016 and August 2017, 160 subjects with diabetic foot ulcers were randomly assigned treatment based on either swab or tissue culture findings. Patients were followed at 15-day intervals for up to 60 days. Results showed positive swab cultures in 76.88% and positive tissue cultures in 92.50% of the study population. The most prevalent organism in swab cultures was Proteus (14.38%), while Pseudomonas (16.88%) dominated in tissue cultures. The cumulative proportion of subjects developing granulation tissue was faster in the tissue culture group, reaching 57.50% at 15 to 30 days and 99% at 31 to 45 days. The swab culture group exhibited proportions of 48.80%, 75%, and 93.80% at the same intervals. In conclusion, diabetic foot ulcer treatment based on tissue culture showed slightly faster healing rates compared to swab culture. However, both groups achieved good ulcer healing within the 60-day follow-up period. These findings emphasize the importance of choosing an appropriate culture method for effective management of diabetic foot ulcers.

Published: February 2024

Wild edible plants (WEPs) are rich in antioxidants with a history of traditional medicinal use. This study aimed to find the most efficient polyphenol extraction solvent from WEPs, including Lasia spinosa, Eriosema chinense, Nasturtium indicum, Begonia hatacoa, and Embelia floribunda, for pharmaceutical and drug industry applications. Polyphenols, crucial antioxidants, were meticulously analyzed via RP-HPLC. Total phenolic, flavonoid, and flavonol levels were measured with four solvents. 80% aqueous (aq.) ethanol proved the most effective, surpassing solvents of varying polarities. The plants exhibited high total phenolics and flavonols, notably gallic acid (30.78±1.67 µg/mg dry extract) and syringic acid (32.03±1.89 µg/mg dry extract) in 80% Aq. ethanol extract of E. floribunda. Correlation analyses revealed strong connections between parameters, with 80% Aq. ethanol and acetone showing the highest correlation values (r and R2), indicating their exceptional polyphenol extraction and antioxidant potential. The principal component analysis emphasized the pharmaceutical potential of WEPs, particularly E. floribunda's 80% Aq. ethanol extract due to its phenolic and polyphenolic content. In conclusion, 80% of ethanol extracts of these plants outperform synthetic derivatives in antioxidant activity, making them promising for pharmaceutical and drug product development with enhanced natural antioxidant properties.
Análisis de la velocidad de contagio del virus SARS-CoV-2 en un sistema aislado (caso del crucero Diamond Princess).
Authors: Castro López Jorge , Castro-López Roberto , López Serrano Antonio , Robles-Gómez Edson
Published: February 2024

Objetivo. - Este trabajo hace una revisión sobre la dispersión del virus SARS-CoV-2 en el crucero Diamond Princess mediante dos técnicas diferentes. 1) Se utiliza el Teorema Total de Probabilidad para inferir la probabilidad de contagio tomando en cuenta a la población asintomática, que es la que pasa desapercibida para los registros sanitarios y la que acelera la propagación del virus. 2) Se calcula de manera convencional la tasa de transmisión y se usa en el modelo SIR (Susceptibles, Infectados y Recuperados) para hacer una proyección numérica que considere un escenario de no-confinamiento. Lo anterior ayuda a entender la forma en que el virus SARS-CoV-2 se dispersa en una población confinada y con un alto grado de interacción en lugares cerrados.
Material y métodos. - Los datos se obtienen principalmente de los trabajos de (Mizumoto et al. 2020) and (Zhiming et al. 2020). Las ecuaciones del modelo SIR se resuelven con el método de Euler, usando para ello el lenguaje “m” mediante el compilador Octave.
Resultados y discusión. - La resolución del modelo SIR (en la que se empleó la tasa de transmisión calculada) muestra un escenario donde se visualiza la rapidez con la que se transmite el virus en condiciones de no-confinamiento y con una considerable interacción entre las personas. Se puede advertir así, tempranamente, de la agresividad con la que se dispersa el virus SARS-CoV-2 entre la población, así como se puede ver también la eficacia del encierro para contener el número de infectados. En cuanto a las probabilidades calculadas se observa la tendencia creciente conforme pasa el tiempo.
Limitaciones o implicaciones del estudio.- El trabajo sólo es válido en una población fija y con una distribución homogénea, lo que limita a sólo estos casos la validez de los parámetros encontrados.
Originalidad o valor de la investigación.- La estadística inferencial en este caso no se había realizado, la combinación de metodologías tampoco se encuentra en la literatura y la resolución numérica del modelo SIR con el virus SARS-CoV-2 y su comparación con el virus H1N1 tampoco se encuentra en la literatura.
Public Service Media and Diversity in the Digital Media Landscape: Opportunities and Limitations for Social Justice
Authors: Yadlin Aya , Klein-Shagrir Oranit
Published: February 2024

This essay reviews the place and role of Public Service Media (PSM) in promoting social justice in the changing digital media landscape through the ethos of diversity. Media diversity – the value and practice of including varied viewpoints, social groups, voices, and channels or outlets in media – has long been a declared pillar of PSM organizations worldwide. However, current changes in the digital media landscape and the growing extension of PSM organizations to digital platforms require re-reading the premise of promoting media diversity as a tool for social justice. This essay identifies a paradox. On one hand, online media appear to accommodate a greater range of diverse voices and players, particularly in the PSM ecosystem. At the same time, these very same online spaces jeopardize diversity, as the increasing practices of personalization, algorithmic curation, and platformization often reduce diversity of representations, voices, and exposure to content, thereby hindering opportunities for social justice and equality. This essay shines a spotlight on this nexus of conflicting mechanisms.
The essay begins with in-depth definitions of the two somewhat convoluted terms diversity and social justice. This section includes a review of global perspectives on PSM organizations, and the long-standing value of diversity promoted through them for decades. We then review the impact and changes identified in PSM platforms worldwide in light of the digital turn in the media field. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of the inherent tension between mechanisms that promote and hinder diversity online. Throughout this discussion, we raise questions about the practical dimensions of using online media to promote social justice through diversity. It provides a useful starting point for considering the intersection of Public Service Media, online platforms, diversity, and social justice. Thus, the essay will serve academic scholars studying social justice on a conceptual level as well as practitioners and stakeholders in the media industry at large, and PSM in particular, seeking to practically promote social justice.

Image restoration is an integral component of computer vision that tries to restore pictures that have been deteriorated or corrupted to their original or enhanced condition. In this study, we look into the wide-ranging terrain of picture restoration techniques, which includes both conventional filter-based approaches and cutting-edge deep learning models. There are certain circumstances in which traditional approaches, such as Wiener filtering and bilateral filtering, perform quite well, particularly when it comes to smoothing and noise reduction. On the other hand, the fact that they rely on handcrafted filters restricts their adaptation to more complicated forms of degradation. Visual restoration has been revolutionized by deep learning, which is led by convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Deep learning involves learning sophisticated representations of visual data. It is because of this that CNNs are able to deal with a wide variety of degradations, such as noise, blurring, artifacts, and missing data. Generative adversarial networks, often known as GANs, are continually pushing the limits of what is possible by utilizing adversarial training to accomplish spectacular outcomes in the areas of in painting and picture super-resolution. Despite amazing development, there are still obstacles to overcome: Understanding the inner workings of deep learning models continues to be a challenge, thanks to the limited interpretability of the data. Dependence on data: Acquiring large quantities of high-quality data is necessary for the training of successful models. Costs associated with computation: The process of training and deploying deep learning models may be quite computationally rigorous. The improvement of camera vision for autonomous cars in order to make navigation safer and more dependable overall. Image restoration technology has the potential to continue to revolutionize image processing and analysis, ultimately contributing to advancements across a wide range of scientific and technological domains. This can be accomplished by addressing the challenges that are currently being faced and concentrating on the promising research directions that are currently being pursued.

Authors: Vidia Natasya , Simanjuntak Betty Yosephin , Nugraheni Diah Eka
Published: February 2024

Hypertension can be triggered by a secondary cause, namely the use of hormonal contraceptives. Hormonal contraceptives contain the hormones estrogen and progesterone, resulting in a hormonal imbalance that leads to hypertension. This research aims to know the relationship between the duration of use and the type of hormonal contraceptives that can be associated with the incidence of hypertension. In Indonesia, the most common use of contraception is hormonal contraception (85.7%), including 139,342 injections (56.8%), 64,569 pills (26.3%), and 14,901 implants (6%). It is known that 216 out of 766 (28.19%) women of childbearing age who use hormonal contraceptives in the Telaga Dewa Health Center working area suffer from hypertension. Cross-sectional research design with a sample of 369 women of childbearing age. The type of hormonal contraception used, age, and blood pressure were obtained by secondary means from the midwife's register book. At the same time, primary door-to-door accepted length of use, education, employment, and number of children. It was found that the size of the use of hormonal contraceptives >5 years significantly related to the incidence of hypertension (p-value 0.000) with OR 2.685. The result will show how the relation of duration use and type of hormonal contraceptives can be associated with the incidence of hypertension. However, all types of hormonal contraceptives were not significantly related to the incidence of hypertension (p-value 0.223). The conclusion of the research is that age, occupation, education, parity, and use of hormonal contraception can be causes of hypertension in women of childbearing age.

Sessiz istifa kavramı günümüzün yeni bir çalışan davranışı olarak kurumların anlamaları gereken bir husus haline gelmiştir. Kurumlar açısından çalışanlarının yaşayabilecekleri sessiz istifa durumu verimlilik kayıpları yaşayabilecekleri çıktılar oluşturabilmektedir. İşlerinde sadece görevleri ölçüsünde sorumluluk alan çalışanların davranış ve tutumları; kendilerini sessize almaları ve yettiği kadarıyla iş yapmaları anlamına gelmektedir. Bu tutumsal yaklaşım bizi sessiz istifa kavramının özüne götürmektedir. İş tatminine dair değerlendirmelerde çalışanların işteki tatminsizliklerini ifade etme biçimleri önemlidir. Çalışmanın amacı sessiz istifanın iş tatmini üzerindeki etkisini tespit edebilmektir. Bu amaçla İGA (İstanbul Ground Airport)’da havacılık sektörü çalışanı 453 kişiye ulaşılmıştır. Yapılan korelasyon analiziyle sessiz istifa ile iş tatmini arasında r=-0,765 kuvvetinde (p<0,05 anlamlılık düzeyinde) negatif yönlü yüksek düzeyli anlamlı ilişki saptanmıştır. Yapılan regresyon analiziyle sessiz istifanın iş tatmini üzerinde (β=- 0,739; p<0,05) etkisi saptanmıştır. Sessiz istifa ve iş tatmini konusunda yapılan fark testleri (t testi, ANOVA) sonucu cinsiyet, statü, yaş, eğitim ve çalışma süreleri arasında p<0,05 anlamlılık düzeyinde anlamlı farklılıklar saptanmıştır.
Through an Understanding of Luxury
Authors:   , Wilkinson Noah
Published: February 2024

There is a lack of richness in our suburbs and domestic architecture. I believe this is largely due to the nature of profit-oriented design in developer suburbs. This thesis seeks to improve the richness of our built domestic fabric through a personal understanding of the notions of luxury. The research aims to both understand the intangible qualities of architecture that allow us to luxuriate, and to explore through a series of visual experiments how we can create emotional and enriching spaces through design. In doing this, the research is also enabling me to discover and refine my own architectural values through the evaluation of these design explorations. The notion of luxury is explored through design-led research. A highly personal approach initially explores concepts pertaining to luxury through the creation and analysis of visual media. Tangible and intangible criteria is formed and then explored through three dimensional objects. The qualities associated with these visual explorations are tested through the design of a pavilion for luxuriating during a single act. This is then critically reflected upon, and the possibilities of these ideas are explored in the design of a two-person dwelling. The outcome of this thesis is a body of work that explores criteria for luxury and the distinctly personal act of luxuriating. The immensely personal evaluation of the criteria and outcomes allows me to explore my own values of design and luxury in depth - and this thesis could provide a flexible framework for another individual to do the same.

Published: February 2024

Hyperbilirubinemia can occur when the level of bilirubin in the blood is more than 5 mg/dL, clinically characterized by the presence of jaundice with physiological and non-physiological causes. The main treatment for cases of hyperbilirubinemia today is phototherapy. However, in recent years there have been alternative interventions carried out, one of which is baby massage. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of giving massage on the bilirubin levels of infants who have hyperbilirubinemia based on empirical studies of the last 10 years. The writing design uses a literature review with inclusion criteria according to the PICOS format. Methods to find sources or articles through the Pubmed, Proquest, Scient Direct, and Google Scholar databases (2016-2021) published in English and Indonesian. The keywords used are related to hyperbilirubinemia and baby massage. Based on the 10 articles reviewed, it was found that baby massage was given 1 to 3 times a day with a duration of 15-20 minutes in every session. Evaluation of bilirubin levels can use serum bilirubin levels or transcutaneous bilirubin levels, besides that giving massage also increases the frequency of defecation which plays a role in removing bilirubin from the baby's body. Baby massage is expected to prevent and treat standardized hyperbilirubinemia so that it can become uniform and as an alternative intervention in reducing bilirubin levels in infants

Tax Regulation of Countries in the Framework of Greening Business (using the example of the Russian Federation and the EU)
Authors: Sidorova E. Yu.
Published: February 2024

In the past three decades, the role of environmental protection in the environmental and climate agenda, which shapes the trends of “green” economic development, has been continuously increasing. The purpose of this study is to examine this issue in the context of the experience of the European Union (EU) and regulatory principles of taxation to prevent the effects of climate change. Using the example of the EU and the Russian Federation, the reaction of a system for economic regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, which is at the initial stage, is considered. A SWOT-analysis of Russia’s “green” exports to the EU countries has been carried out, which contains forecasts of a decline in demand for Russian oil and oil products, coal, gas and metals and an increase in demand for electricity from low-carbon sources. Taking into account the extremely high carbon intensity of all Russian exports and its product and country structure, it is suggested that notable damage may occur after 2026 if the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) expands its product mix and scope. In the presence of significant risks for the Russian Federation in the context of hydrogen energy development, the drivers for increasing competitiveness and the corresponding positions of our country in the conditions of decarbonization are determined, PEST-analysis of the Russian economy on the way to the “green” market course is carried out. The practical significance of the study lies in the proposal to use the experience of tax regulation in the EU countries as part of greening business in the Russian economy.
