Current Maritime Delimitation Activities in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea: An Evaluation from International Maritime Law Perspective
Authors: Erçakıca Mustafa
Published: November 2022

The ‘Republic of Cyprus’, which today consists only of Greek Cypriots, has been carrying out activities to limit its marine zones in the Eastern Mediterranean, in order to explore natural resources. Turkey and Turkish Cypriots have been claiming that they also have legal rights over the maritime natural resources in Eastern Mediterranean. Another incident in the Eastern Mediterranean is the 2019 Memorandum of Understanding between Turkey and the UN-recognized government of Libya, namely the Government of National Accord, for delimiting their maritime zones. This is an important treaty for Eastern Mediterranean that effected the regional relations. This treaty is registered to the list of the UN Secretary General, and it must be respected by other actors. But the claims of other regional States such as the ‘Republic of Cyprus’ and the plans for EastMed pipeline conflicts with this treaty. Additionally, to these, two other important regional States, Israel and Lebanon, have been experiencing tensions due to their claims on maritime zones. This is another example of the unstable relations between the Eastern Mediterranean States. Parties of the Eastern Mediterranean disputes must coordinate a multilateral conference for solving all these disputes over Eastern Mediterranean delimitation activities and exploration of natural resources.
The European Union and Democracy Promotion in the Middle East and North Africa Countries: Bridging the Gap Between Constructivism and Realism
Authors: Direkli Mehmet , Ashiekh Hoda Abdulhafizh
Published: November 2022

The discourse of European foreign policy is based on transferring fundamental concepts; including democracy, human rights, and fundamental freedoms derived from the role of the European Union (EU) as a non-traditional global actor “normative power”. However, the EU's experience in promoting democracy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) shows that its commitments in this field remain selective and depend on the calculation of interests. This study explores the factors which have had implications on the Euro-Mediterranean partnership in promoting democracy; and it argues that understanding the EU's approach to supporting democracy in the MENA requires a combination of both constructivist and rationalist assumptions. According to the findings of this study, the EU always prioritizes its security considerations and economic interests over standards and values when normative influence is insufficient. This is not due to a problem in the normative content of the EU’s foreign policy discourse; but it is due to the complexity of its security and economic interests in this region in particular. This study concludes that the contradiction between the EU’s normative dynamics and its strategic objectives undermines its normative power.

Published: November 2022

Se realizó una caracterización geomecánica de un túnel guía para la explotación de oro en la mina Yaraguá (Continental Gold Limited) en el Municipio de Buriticá (Antioquia). El proceso de caracterización comprendió la clasificación del macizo rocoso mediante los sistemas de clasificación RMR y Q, análisis de secciones delgadas, ensayos de velocidad de ondas P, carga puntual simple y resistencia a compresión uniaxial y triaxial. Las rocas analizadas se clasificaron como basaltos, andesitas, dioritas y brechas, todas con minerales como magnetita, carbonatos y de pirita. En los ensayos de velocidad de ondas, las rocas alcanzaron un 70% de la velocidad teórica, mostrando índices de continuidad que están en el intervalo de fuerte a intermedia. La resistencia a compresión uniaxial en el intervalo de 42 MPa y 134 MPa. El comportamiento de las rocas bajo las cargas en el ensayo de compresión triaxial muestra una tendencia frágil a frágil-dúctil y con una resistencia máxima en el intervalo de 130 MPa a 150 MPa. A partir de todos estos ensayos se determinó que hay dos tipos de fallamiento asociado a la mineralización: ya sea a través de venillas o por zonas de acumulación de sulfuros.
Cupido ludens: Eros playing with astragals in Apollonius Rhodius 3. 112–155
Authors: Costanza Salvatore
Published: November 2022

Ancient classical culture usually links gambling (plays with knucklebones, dice, pawns) with divination and love's matters. It is noteworthy, to examine playing by knucklebones (Greek astragaloi). The connection between astragals, games and the erotic sphere clearly appears in Eros-Ganymede episode in the 3rd Book of Apollonius' Argonautica. A fragment of Callimachus also deals with knucklebones. Many Greek lyric and epigrammatic poets echo this topic. In sum, Apollonius allows us to discover a usual imagery: Eros as a player with knucklebones shows that Love masters the human life. It is thus an evident symbol of fate.
Neural text summarization for Hungarian
Authors: Yang Zijian Győző
Published: November 2022

One of the most important NLP tasks for the industry today is to produce an extract from longer text documents. This task is one of the hottest topics for the researchers and they have created some solutions for English. There are two types of the text summarization called extractive and abstractive. The goal of the first task is to find the relevant sentences from the text, while the second one should generate the extraction based on the original text. In this research I have built the first solutions for Hungarian text summarization systems both for extractive and abstractive subtasks. Different kinds of neural transformer-based methods were used and evaluated. I present in this publication the first Hungarian abstractive summarization tool based on mBART and mT5 models, which gained state-of-the-art results.

Authors:   School of Architecture, College of Fine Arts, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, Islami S. Yahya , Jafari Zeynab ,   Faculty of Architectural Engineering and Urban Planning, Shahid Rajaee University, Tehran, Iran
Published: November 2022

Traditional solar screens in Iran (called Moshabak) are architectural devices used mainly in hot-arid regions, with two interrelated functions: controlling the penetration of sunlight and gaze from outside. Consequently, Moshabak plays a significant role in veiling the interior from both and improving the quality of space. This research investigates the significance of aperture proportions for the lighting behaviour and transparency characteristics of Moshabak. The experiments are conducted in a typical residential room, under the sunny and clear sky of Kashan - a typical desert city in Iran. The study is divided into three stages and uses three kinds of Moshabak based on aperture proportions: horizontal, vertical, and square. Stage one of the research focuses on daylighting behaviour, stage two measures annual glare and stage three analyses transparency. For each type of Moshabak three different perforation percentages are used in order to better clarify the performance of different aperture proportions. The research findings show that aperture proportion has a significant impact on the performance of Moshabak. Moreover, Moshabak with horizontal apertures perform better than the rest, while Moshabak with vertical aperture proportions had the lowest performance in the three stages of the study.

Authors: Liu Dongxue , Feng Yihua , Wang Fei , Qin Changcai , Zhang Zefei , Shi Yanbin
Published: November 2022

Bone resection is a common technique in modern surgery, which can be divided into contact (such as mechanical osteotomy and ultrasonic osteotomy) and non-contact (such as laser osteotomy). Irrespective of the excision method, it causes processing damage to natural bone material, thus affecting bone healing. To reduce the machining damage in bone resection, different machining variables (cutting fluid temperature, feed rate, rotational speed, and ultrasonic frequency) were considered to explore the selection of various cutting conditions. This paper reviews the excision of natural bone materials including mechanical osteotomy, laser osteotomy, and ultrasonic osteotomy, especially traditional drilling and ultrasonic cutting, which represent the traditional and prospective methods of bone excision technology, respectively. Finally, the differences between methods are emphasized and the future trends in osteotomy technology and condition control during osteotomy are analyzed.

Authors: Landry Dyllan , Quinn Karson , Helmer Stephen , Sanchez Noel
Published: November 2022

INTRODUCTION.  The DaVinci surgical system has become standard in many specialties.  The dual-console system has increased console time for residents during their training.  This study evaluated patient outcomes using the single- versus dual-console system in resident training.
METHODS.  A retrospective case-control study was conducted of patients who underwent various colorectal surgeries using either the single- or dual-console DaVinci system.  Patient demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes were collected.
RESULTS.  Seventy-one patients (54.2%) utilized the single-console and 60 (45.8%) utilized the dual-console.  There were no statistically significant differences in patient demographics, procedures performed, conversion to open, ICU admissions, total length of stay, need for blood transfusion, adequacy of surgical margin, number of lymph nodes harvested, anastomotic leak, discharge disposition, or readmission, wound infection, or need for reoperation within 30 days.  There was a nonsignificant decrease in operative time with the dual-console system (200.6 vs. 220.2 minutes, p = 0.111).
CONCLUSIONS.  While this study showed no statistically significant differences between patient outcomes utilizing the single- versus dual-consoles it likely provides other benefits in surgical training.

DİSK VE EKLEM KÖKENLİ KRONİK BEL AĞRILARINDA AYIRICI TANI VE TEDAVİ
Authors: OĞUZOĞLU Ali Serdar
Published: November 2022

Giriş ve Amaç: Kronik bel ağrısı hastalara, ailelerine, çalışma arkadaşlarına ve topluma büyük bir yük bindirmektedir. Kronik bel ağrılarında hastaların muayene bulguları ve modern radyolojik tetkikler (BT, MRG vs.) ışığında spesifik etken saptamak çoğu zaman mümkün olmamaktadır. Avustralyalı ve Amerikalı bir grup araştırmacı; kronik bel ağrısı yakınması olan hastalarda perkütan girişimsel yöntemleri kullanarak yaptıkları prevelans çalışmalarında %75 oranında ağrı nedeni olarak hedef bir nokta saptamışlar. Son yıllarda kronik bel ağrısı nedenleri arasında oldukça sık söz edilen faset eklem sendromu, sakroiliak eklem sendromu ve diskojenik ağrının tanı ve tedavisinde yer alan perkütan invaziv girişimler ve radyofrekans uygulamaları çalışmamızın temelini oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmamızda literatür ışığında belirlediğimiz algoritm çerçevesinde kronik bel ağrısı yakınması olan hastalarda perkütan invazif girişimler kullanılarak ağrı kaynağı olan hedef noktaların saptanması ve radyofrekans uygulamaları ile tedavisi hedeflenmiştir.

Yöntem: Kasım 2009 ile Ekim 2010 tarihleri arasında 36 hastaya perkütan girişimsel işlemler uygulandı. Hastaların 26’ sı kadın 10’ u erkekti. Hastaların yaşları 29 ile 78 arasında değişmekteydi. Hastalar semptom ve bulgularına dayanılarak faset eklem kökenli, sakroiliak eklem kökenli veya diskojenik kökenli bel ağrısı alt gruplarına ayrılarak perkütan invazif girişimlere tabi tutuldular. Tanısal işlemler pozitif saptanan hastalara konvansiyonel RF uygulamaları yapıldı .

Sonuçlar: Tüm prosedürler herhangi bir komplikasyon olmadan tamamlandı. 30 hastada (%83) ağrı kaynağı olarak spesifik bir nokta saptandı. RF uygulamalarında başarı oranı faset medial dal denervasyonu için %75, SİE RF uygulamalarında %100 olarak saptanmıştır.

Tartışma: Bizim çalışmamızda kronik bel ağrısında spesifik etken saptamada perkütan invazif girişimlerin çok faydalı olduğu saptanmıştır. RF uygulamalarının da gerek faset eklem sendromunda gerekse SİE kökenli ağrı yakınmasında etkin bir tedavi rejimi olduğunu göstermiştir. Tüm literatür tarandığında başarı için en önemli kriterin öncelikle doğru hasta seçimi, perkütan tanısal girişimlerin efektif kullanılması ve uygun cerrahi tekniğin kombine edilmesi olduğu görülmektedir. Perkutan girişimsel işlemlerin ve Radyofrekans uygulamalarının kronik bel ağrılarının tanı-tedavi aşamasında Nöroşirurji pratiğinde yeteri kadar kullanılmadığını düşünmekteyiz. Oysa ki, uygulaması teknik olarak kolay ve teknolojik gelişmelere paralel olarak güvenli olan perkütan girişimsel işlemler ve RF uygulamaları sayesinde gereksiz ve yanlış cerrahi müdahalelerden kaçınılabilir.

Published: November 2022

The number of Islamic stock investors is growing. This demonstrates that public interest in halal investment has increased, despite the fact that the number is still tiny when compared to Indonesia's total population. The purpose of this research is to see if the rise in investment interest has an effect on the Islamic stock trading frequency, with the goal of improving the performance of the Indonesian capital market as assessed by the Composite Stock Price Index (JCI). The methods used are descriptive and verification. Path analysis is used to analyse the data. According to the study's findings, a rise in Single Investor Identification (SID) of Islamic stocks on the JCI had no direct effect. Furthermore, it has not been demonstrated that the frequency of Islamic stock trading functions as a moderating variable. Additional tests have revealed that Islamic stock trading frequency has a direct effect on the JCI. Furthermore, the SID and the trading frequency have significant impacts on the JCI at the same time. Based on these findings, it is hoped that capital market stakeholders will continue to collaborate to develop policies that will have a significant impact on the capital markets' performance by increasing socialization, education, and activation.

In urban design, streets are one of the important elements that function as public spaces, especially in Malaysia. The image of a street reflects the time as well as demonstrates the image of the city. Hence, a street with a strong sense of safety and walkability, simultaneously contributes to the similarity of the character of the place. However, the recent development of the heritage town shows a lack of activity occurring at night, hence displaying a less secure atmosphere for the place. Therefore, the objective of the article is to discuss the activities that contribute to the safe environment in ‘Jalan Mendaling’ and ‘Jalan Tukang’, ‘Bandar Warisan Kajang Selangor’. These three case studies of traditional streets were chosen as they are considered as public spaces. This research adopted a qualitative method, including the interview and field observation techniques. There were 20 respondents among the street users, from both static and mobile were interviewed. The data collected was analysed through a triangulation approach and further explained through literature evidence prior to the development of the finding. The findings show that there are several factors that contribute to the safe environment in the case studies area. It includes mixed development with residential typology, diversification of business activities, and business operating hours. The findings contributed to the architect, urban designer, and town planner in further enhancing the street design in terms of its liveability, walkability, and quality of safe streets.

In this fast-developing era of digital and visual technology, architectural graphics software has become increasingly sophisticated and is widely used in industry as well as in higher education; not only to facilitate the user but to get better, consistent and fast graphic results. Students majoring in architecture at the tertiary level are also no exception in ensuring that they are not left behind from following the latest technological developments, especially current technologies related to their learning process. The graphics softwares available in the market which have become more complex and specialized over the years have also proven to help architecture students in ensuring the delivery process becomes easier and better if the right software is selected and used by students. It is undeniable that if less suitable software is used by students, it will affect the end result of the desired design presentation. This study aims to make a comparison between the usage of two graphics software that are widely used by architecture students at present, namely Lumion 8.0 and V-Ray 3.4 for Sketchup, and identify the advantages and disadvantages of its rendering process. To achieve the purpose of the study, a recording of the rendering processes of both Lumion 8.0 and V-Ray for 3.4 SketchUp was made on a specific building design for the final project of an undergraduate architectural design studio course. In general terms, the results found that the advantage of Lumion 8.0 lies in the faster rendering time, while the advantage of V-Ray 3.4 for SketchUp lies in the quality of the rendering details produced.

The Spectre of Populist Leadership: QAnon, Emergent Formations, and Digital Community
Authors: Cover Rob , Thompson Jay Daniel , Haw Ashleigh
Published: November 2022

QAnon is an online conspiracy movement centred on cryptic posts published by an unknown figure referred to as “Q.” Its anti-hierarchical framework and deployment of an unknown leader can be understood as a substantial departure from other 21st-century populisms that are sustained by the celebrity relationship between a leader (often aspiring to or gaining political office) and its followers (constituted in community through consumption of the leaders’ social media posts). Reflecting on contemporary debates and insights within cultural studies and digital communication literature, this article investigates some of the ways in which the spectral leadership of Q presents challenges for understanding and apprehending populist movements. In light of QAnon, there is an emerging need to make sense of populisms that are built on mythical or anonymous characters rather than on identifiable human actors in leadership roles. We begin by discussing the role of key practices of contemporary populist leadership and contrast these with justice-based populisms that are community-led without the figure of an identifiable leader. We argue that, as a populist movement, QAnon fits neither of these frameworks and, instead, has drawn on the affordances of digital media and its intersections with postmodern hyperreality to produce a new formation of populist movement today. Arguing that Q is the simulacra of a leader, we theorise the ways in which QAnon fosters affiliation and action from its adherents who, themselves, take on the role of saviour-leader.
Human being in a world without alternatives: active or passive anthropocentrism
Authors: Khamidov Aleksandr A.
Published: November 2022

The article discusses the need for Man to develop such a way of being in the World that would exclude the possibility of worldview and practical, anthropocentrism. It is noted that the Western way of being was initially anthropocentric. At the same time, anthropocentrism here appears in two modes as active and as passive. It is emphasized that the eastern way of being is ontologically acceptable, but it does not orient Man to be a co-worker of cosmogenesis. It is concluded that the desired way of being a person in the World can be grown from the synthesis of what is represented in the eastern and western ways of human being.
THE GEOLOGICAL MAP OF BRAZIL, 1938–1940: THE FIRST GEOLOGY OF BRAZIL WRITTEN BY BRAZILIANS
Authors: LOPES MARIA MARGARET
Published: November 2022

The paper reports on the publication context for the book: Geologia do Brasil Com um Mapa Geológico do Brasil e parte dos países vizinhos [Geology of Brazil. With a Geological Map of Brazil and part of Neighboring Countries] by Avelino de Oliveira and Othon Leonardos, in 1940. This book describes the geological map of the country and of some parts of adjacent South American countries. The cover of the publication makes a curious reference to a ‘Brazilian Commission of Portugal’s Centennials’. This reference and the preface, together with other publications, provide very enlightening context about the mineral and energy sectors during the 1930s, including the efforts of geologists and institutions involved in its preparation, the difficulties during its compilation, and how its publication became possible. This Map is important because it was produced by Brazilian geologists and even today, it is mandatory to consult it, not only for the history of geology, but also for the clarification of research priorities.
MAPPING BASUTOLAND: CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN GEOLOGISTS GORDON MURRAY STOCKLEY AND ALEXANDER LOGIE DU TOIT (1938–1946)
Authors: MASTER SHARAD
Published: November 2022

Basutoland is a former British Protectorate (now the Kingdom of Lesotho) nestled in the Maluti and Drakensberg mountains, surrounded by South Africa. Geological knowledge about Basutoland started with the activities of French missionaries in the 1830s and continued to accumulate throughout the nineteenth century. Systematic geological mapping began in 1902–1904 with the work of Ernest Schwarz and Alexander du Toit, who, while working for the Geological Commission of the Cape of Good Hope, extended their mapping activities into Basutoland. In 1905 Samuel Dornan from Morija started studying the geology of that region of Basutoland. In the 1930s rumours about the finds of diamonds prompted the British Government to map the country geologically. Gordon Stockley, a geologist experienced in mapping for the Geological Survey of Tanganyika, was seconded to Basutoland in late 1938. Stockley mapped the whole country in 11 months in 1939, and then returned to Tanganyika. His geological map, at a scale of 1:380,160 was published in 1946, and the report appeared in 1947. At the start of his mapping, Stockley wrote to du Toit asking his advice on various matters related to the geology, geomorphology and palaeontology of Basutoland. Their correspondence lasted until 1946. Stockley’s map and report on Basutoland geology laid the foundation for all future exploration and led to the discovery of several diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in the 1960s, and to the establishment of several diamond mines that contribute significantly to the economy of modern Lesotho.

Published: November 2022

A tanulmány 44 neofiton faj 272 új elterjedési adatát tartalmazza Magyarország területéről az elmúlt néhány évből. Először sikerült kimutatni Magyarországról az Iris orientalis-t, melynek meghonosodott populációját találtuk kiszáradt, sztyeppesedő mocsárréten. A közelmúltban megtelepedett, de vélhetően vasút mentén gyorsan terjedő faj lesz a Lepidium oblongum. Kerti szökevényként a Buddleja davidii és a Broussonetia papyrifera természetközeli élőhelyeken napjainkban válik átalakító fajjá és zavart cserjésben, erdőben a Vinca major lokális invázióját is megfigyeltük. Ruderális élőhelyeken az Euphorbia prostrata, Kochia scoparia subsp. densiflora és a Lepidium virginicum gyorsuló terjedésére hívjuk fel a figyelmet. Szintén gyors és tömeges terjedését figyelhetjük meg számos korábban meghonosodott fajnak, melyek egyre gyakrabban telepednek meg urbánus területeken kívül, természetközeli növényzetben is (Eleusine indica, Euphorbia maculata, Chorisposa tenella, Galinsoga ciliata, Lepidium densiflorum, Phytolacca esculenta, Tragus racemosus, Viola sororia). Bemutatunk lassabban, de kitartóan terjedő, régebb óta jelen lévő meghonosodott fajokat (Aster novae-angliae, Erechtites hieracifolia, Humulus scandens, Oenothera depressa, Oe. suaveolens, Oxybaphus nyctagineus, Sedum rupestre, S. spurium) és korábban elterjedt, majd visszaszorult, napjainkban újra terjedő fajokat is (Amaranthus crispus, Taeniatherum caput-medusae). A városi flórában közönséges Commelina communis vasúti sínek mentén is terjedésnek indult. Talán alkalmi behurcolással érkezhetett egy Tisza melletti nyírt gyepbe az Ecballium elaterium. Mezőgazdasági kultúrából maradt parlagi túlélő a Trigonella caerulea. Vélhetően kerti szökevény a karsztbokorerdőben, cserjésben megjelenő Cotoneaster zabelii. Erdei utak mentén figyeltük meg az Euphorbia marginata terjedését. Ezen felül bemutatunk számos alkalmi kivadulást (Lamium galeobdolon subsp. argentatum, Nassella tenuissima, Oenothera glazioviana, Ophiopogon japonicus, Papaver dubium subsp. lecoqii cv. ’Beth’s Poppy’), melyek között kiemelt helyet foglalnak el az alkalmi hulladéklerakók (Antirrhinum majus, Eschscholzia californica, Euphorbia lathyris, Galanthus plicatus, Hordeum jubatum, Yucca filamentosa). Végül bemutatunk 2 taxonómiai nehézségek miatt adathiányos taxont is (Amaranthus blitum subsp. emarginatus, Azolla filiculoides).

A hazánkban ritka és védett kakasmandikó (Erythronium dens-canis L.) életmeneté- ről, valamint populációinak demográfiai és dinamikai sajátosságairól kevés irodalmi adattal rendelkezünk. A faj előfordulási területének jelentős részén törvényi oltalmat élvez, illetve veszélyeztetett fajként van nyilvántartva, ezért különösen fontos az adathiányos állapot megszüntetése. Kutatásunk célja a faj populációbiológiájának jobb megismerését célzó demográfiai vizsgálatok megalapozása volt az egyedek egy vegetációs perióduson belüli életmenet-állapot változásának nyomon követésével három zalai állományban. Legfőképpen azt a módszertani kérdést kívántuk tisztázni, hogyan lehet az egyedeket állapotkategóriákba sorolni egy olyan évelő, többször termő faj esetében, melynek hajtásai nem egyszerre jelennek meg a vegetációs periódus kezdetén. Összesen 377 kakasmandikó tő került legalább egyszer felvételezésre 2020-ban, ezek közül 255 tövet (67,6%) mindkét vizsgálati időpontban, márciusban és áprilisban is fel tudtunk mérni. Eredményeink alapján jelentős különbségek figyelhetők meg az egyes Erythronium állományok szerkezetében, hely és időpont függvényében egyaránt, ezért az életmenet-állapotba való besorolást mindenképpen hozzá kell igazítani a felvételezés idejéhez és helyéhez. Az életmenet-állapot megállapítása a reproduktív tövek esetében egyértelmű, a juvenilis és vegetatív adult tövek esetében azonban a felvételezés idejétől függően mérsékelt bizonytalansággal végezhető el – egyes tövek besorolása a mérettartományok által meghatározott kategóriákba ugyanis változik a felmérés időpontjától függően. A juvenilis és vegetatív adult kategóriák között a mérethatárt a reproduktív tövek levélmérete alapján állapítottuk meg. Mivel az azévben virágzó tövek hajtanak ki először az állományban, ezek hamarabb érik el a kifejlett levélméretüket is. Feltételezhető, hogy a felmérés pontossága az idő előrehaladtával növekszik, mivel a később kihajtó tövek is elérhetik vagy megközelíthetik a maximális levélterület-méretüket. Egy későbbi időpont választásának további előnye, hogy egyúttal a reproduktív tövek termésképzési sikerességét is meg lehet állapítani. A késői felvételezést azonban akadályozza a tövek időközbeni elhervadása, eltűnése vagy károsodása, ami egyre gyakoribbá válik a faj tenyészidejének végéhez közeledve.

A magyar tölgy helyes nevét tisztáztam és a társnevek történetét feltártam egy korábbi munkámban. Jelen cikkben a faj infraspecifikus változatosságának bemutatása a cél. Összegyűjtöttem a szakirodalomban fellelhető minden olyan faj alatti taxont, amely a Quercus conferta, vagy más társnév alatt került leírásra, ezek pontos forrását és jellemzését, melyeket összevetettem a nemzetközi botanikai nevezéktan (ICN) szabályaival. 21 érvényes és 4 érvénytelen bazionim, valamint 39 érvényes és 16 érvénytelen szinonim infraspecifikus taxonnevet sikerült elkülöníteni, amelyek idézése során a szakirodalomban és adatbázisokban számos hibát, elírást észlelhettem. A típusokat hozzárendeltem a jellemzéseknél használt diagnosztikai bélyegekhez.
Reception of the Series “Squid Game” in the World Media: the Reasons for Popularity
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Tsykhovska Ellina
Published: November 2022

The article studies the phenomenon of the popularity of the South Korean dystopian series “Squid Game”, which was released on September 17, 2021 on the streaming service “Netflix” and became its biggest success, as well as a global cultural sensation by the number of views in at least 90 different countries. Many world media outlets reacted to this success with the articles not only of a news nature, but also with their own hypotheses regarding its causes. Therefore, the objective of the article is to investigate the reasons for the popularity of the TV series “Squid Game” based on reception of the world’s leading English-language media. Thus, the object of this study was the reports about the series “Squid Game” in “BBC News”, “BuzzFeed News”, “CNN”, “Financial Times”, “Forbes”, “London Review of books”, “NBC News”, “The New Yorker”, “The Guardian”, “The New York Times”, “The Wall Street Journal”, “The Washington Post”, “Time”, “New York Post”, as well as “Digital Trends”, “Impacter”, “The Sun”, “The Straits Times”, “Vox”, “USA Today”, “Vulture”, etc. The subject is their meaning palette. It was found that the global interest in the Korean cultural product was listed among the reasons for the popularity of “Squid Game” in the media; advertising in social networks from the users based on the principle of “word of mouth”; the genre “competition for survival”; the topic “economic inequality”, known to the most consumers; the heroes are selected from the different strata of population, which promotes empathy. In turn, we believe that the popularity of the series “Squid Game” is due to its relevance, namely: reflection of the modern viewer’s fears about the lack of money and debts, aggravation of conspiracy theories with the emergence of coronavirus pandemic and the markers of fairy tales familiar from childhood, which represent the same plots similar as in the series. Developing the citation by one of the journalists that the unexpected brutality of the show contributes to catharsis, we believe that, indeed, the series operates according to the scheme of the ancient Greek theater, where the main function of watching the heroes of drama was to clear oneself of one’s fears and problems.

Published: November 2022

This article discusses new approach to solving specific problem of speech recognition. The problem is formulated as problem of command recognition. Commands have equal lengths (in words). Each word position has its own set of word candidates. There were developed the models for solving this problem. The models consist of spectral density estimator, convolutional neural networks and naive Bayes classifier. The author performed a comparative analysis of the models and selected the best. There was developed a graphical user interface for interacting with the best model. The result can be used as a base for creation speech recognition methods for voice user interfaces.

Authors: Kosimov Azam A. , Khodzhanov Iskandar Yu. , Kononovich Natalia A.
Published: November 2022

Background. Adequate blood flow in tissues during bone union is a factor that enables to achieve positive treatment results.
Aim of study to study in vivo experiment the features of temperature response and blood flow in consolidation area of tibial primary fractures and refractures.
Methods. A tibial fracture was simulated in rats and then immobilized with external fixator. In series 1 (n = 13) the fixation was kept until union. In series 2 (n = 18) a refracture was simulated 21 days after the surgery and refixed until union. The blood flow and tissue temperature were studied in the fracture area in normal conditions; 21 and 35 days after fracture or refracture; 28 days after the end of fixation.
Results. The temperature and blood flow were of the same type, but of different intensity. Three types of reactions were identified: 1) reduced blood flow velocity and tissue temperature, signs of venous outflow difficulty; 2) increased blood flow, unchanged venous outflow, reduced tissue temperature; 3) slight blood flow decrease, increased venous outflow, slight tissue temperature increase. By the end of fixation (35 days) all parameters in series 1 returned to normal. 28 days after the end of fixation the tissue temperature and venous outflow returned to normal in series 2 animals with the first and the second types of hemodynamics, their blood flow velocity decreased. As for the third type, the tissue temperature returned to normal, the venous outflow and the blood flow velocity increased.
Conclusion. In case of primary fractures, the blood flow and the tissue temperature normalized by the end of fixation. In case of refractures the changes persisted 1 month after the end of fixation.
