Background: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder resulting from gluten consumption in genetically predisposed individuals. The present study investigated the epidemiological, endoscopic, and clinicopathological features of patients with celiac disease in the southern littoral of the Caspian Sea. Methods: 140 patients with celiac disease were interviewed and examined regarding demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, and serologic, endoscopic, and pathological findings. Results: 44 (31.4%) of the patients were male and 68.6% were female. The mean age of the patients at diagnosis was 27.13±13.4 years (ranging from 2 to 60 years). The most common gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms were bloating (47.8%), abdominal pain (47.1%) and diarrhea (30.7%), respectively. Also, 17 (12.1%) patients did not complain of any GI symptoms.18 (12.8%) patients had aphthous stomatitis, 10.7% had dermatitis herpetiformis, 3.6% suffered from itching without a rash, two (1.4%) mentioned psoriasis and one (0.7%) had lichen planus. 19 (19.7%) of the female patients complained of menstrual bleeding disorders, 4% mentioned infertility, and 2% experienced primary amenorrhea. The most common comorbid condition was hypothyroidism in 16 (11.4%) patients. The most common endoscopic finding was duodenal scalloping (37.25%). In addition, 7.8% of the patients had a normal endoscopic appearance. 43 (30.7%) patients were classified as Marsh IIIC, 25.7% Marsh IIIB, 17.8% Marsh IIIA, 12.8% Marsh II and 12.8% were classified as Marsh I. Conclusion: Since celiac disease can present with non-GI manifestations and the majority of our patients had Marsh III classification, it seems that celiac disease must be considered as a routine screening test in GI clinics, and also, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in other specialty fields.

Published: January 2024

Background: We aimed to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction and compassion-focused on the cognitive regulation of emotion in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The research method was the semi-experimental type, with pre-test, post-test, follow-up, and experimental and control groups. Methods: The population included patients with IBS in Isfahan city; 45 of them were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to 3 groups (15 in each group). Then, the patients of one experimental group received eight sessions of 90 minutes of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program, while the other experimental group received eight sessions of 90 minutes of compassion-focused therapy. The measurement tools included the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski and Kraaij, 2002) and a short clinical interview. Research data were analyzed using variance analysis with repeated measures on one factor (mixed design). Results: Both intervention methods were equally effective in changing the cognitive regulation of adaptive emotion mean scores (P<0.01), but the effect of compassion-focused therapy on improving the mean scores of cognitive regulation of adaptive emotion was more than mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy (P<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that both intervention methods can be used as complementary treatment for patients with IBS.

Aluminum, an alternative to GRP for manufacturing of sports boats
Authors: Gherghisan Maria , Bria Vasile , Circiumaru Adrian , Mocanu Costel Iulian , Găvan Eugen
Published: January 2024

Pollution is being discussed more and more in the world. It is known that the production of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester (GRP) is a polluting process. Also, the implementation of GRP is a process that can cause various ailments to the personnel who apply it. Over time, boats made of GRP suffer degradation due to interaction with the environment: cracks, exfoliation of the outer layer of gelcoat, etc. These degradations must be remedied, operations that involve the application of substances that are also polluting. More and more traditional manufacturers of sports boats are replacing GRP with aluminum. This, although the process of obtaining it from the ore is not without toxic components, is less polluting and friendlier to the executors than GRP. In this paper, we seek to elucidate the advantages that aluminum has over GRP in the construction of sports boats.

1991 KÖRFEZ SAVAŞI SONRASI DÖNEMDE SİYASAL VE TOPLUMSAL ELİTLERİN IRAK DIŞ POLİTİKASI ÜZERİNDE ETKİSİ
Authors: ALKIŞ Mehmet
Published: January 2024

Bu makale Irak dış politikasında siyasal-toplumsal elitlerin etkisini 1991 Körfez Savaşı sonrası dönemde incelemektedir. 1991 Körfez Savaşı sonrasını Irak açısından küresel ve bölgesel gelişmeler çerçevesinde dönemlendiren bu çalışma elitlerin etkisine odaklanacaktır. Genel olarak literatürdeki çalışmalar 2003 Irak Savaşı sonrası dönemi ele almaktadır. 1991 Körfez Savaşı ile 2003 Irak Savaşı arasındaki dönemi de kapsaması bu çalışmayı literatürde özgün bir yerde konumlandırmaktadır. 1991 Körfez Savaşı itibariyle Irak uluslararası toplum ile ilişkilerinde farklı bir aşamaya geçmiştir. Bu dönemde Baas rejiminin uluslararası yaptırımların etkisiyle zayıflamasına koşut bir biçimde muhalif elitler güçlenmeye başlamıştır. 2003 Irak Savaşı ile birlikte ülkede kurulan yeni sistemde kimlik grubu elitleri güçlenmiştir. Elitlerin siyasal ve ekonomik kaynakları kontrol ve seferber edebilme kapasitesi etkin olmalarını sağlamıştır. Paylaşımı temel alan bu sistemde elitler arası ayrışmalar da artmıştır. Dış politikada resmi kurumlar ve profesyoneller etkili olamamış kimlik gruplarının elitleri etkin olmuştur. Ülkenin dış etkilere daha da açık hale gelmesiyle Irak’ın Arap Baharı sürecinde ülkede dış ilişkilerde farklı kimlik grupları farklı yönelimler içerisine girmiştir. Arap Baharı sonrası dönemde “muhasasa” adı verilen kimlik kotasına yönelik tepkiler ve protestolar artmıştır. Bu tepkilere bakıldığında ülkede kimlik siyasetinin belli bir ölçüde etkisinin azaldığı söylenebilir. Ancak siyasal sistem kimlik politikası çerçevesinde şekillenmeye devam etmektedir. Bu makale elitler arası uyuşmazlıkların ülkenin dış etkilere açık olmasını kolaylaştırdığını, bunun da Irak’ın gelişebilecek tehditleri dengeleyememesine neden olduğunu öne sürmektedir. İç-dış siyaset arasındaki etkileşim ülkenin bütüncül-tutarlı politika oluşturmasını engellemektedir. Çalışmanın temel argümanı Irak’ta siyasal-toplumsal elitlerin ihtilaflar ve çıkar çatışmaları içerisinde olmalarının tehditleri dengelemesini zorlaştırdığı yönündedir.

Authors: Kalinin V.G. , Chichagov V.V. , Gyrdymov D.A.
Published: January 2024

The long-term variability of the annual runoff of rivers located in different parts of the Upper and Middle Kama catchment, with the longest observation periods (1936-2021) was carried out. The presented regression models with a linear trend indicate their low correspondence to real data. The observation series were tested using a model of two consecutive repeated samples based on the proposed methodological approach. The moment of change in the series of average annual water flows was determined on the basis of difference-integral curves. The rejection of the randomness and homogeneity hypotheses for the entire observation period confirms the presence of statistically significant changes. The annual river flow has increased for 1978-2021 compared to 1936-1977 on average by 19.6%.
DETERMINATION OF TOURIST ACHIEVEMENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF THE REGION BY THE METHOD OF GEOGRAPHICAL COMPARISONS (on the example of Perm region of the Russian Federation and Gomel oblast' of the Republic of Belarus)
Authors: Zyrianov A.I. , Pochinok T.V.
Published: January 2024

The administrative-territorial division of the country, especially large in size, also plays the role of tourist zoning. The subjects of the Russian Federation and regions of the Republic of Belarus make a significant contribution to the development of the tourism industry. The region of the state today is the main area of tourism planning, since it is both an internally coordinated area and, as a rule, it is a full-fledged destination. In this regard, tourism research is most often spatially limited to the borders of regions. It is expedient to study the directions of tourism development in the region with the help of a SWOT analysis, which gives an unlimited choice of considered factors. Most often, these factors are based on geographical aspects, they determine the peculiarity of the region. Comparison of two regions, even far from each other, is not only a traditional method of geographical comparison, but also a way to identify new opportunities for tourism development, a way to establish an interregional tourist flow. Geographical comparison makes it possible to identify various unique characteristics of the territory, which are especially important for the development of tourism. Perm Territory of the Russian Federation and Gomel Region of the Republic of Belarus are regions that have much in common and are different in the tourism and recreational sphere, which can be the basis for exchanging interesting solutions in strategies for the development of interest in tourism interaction.
CENTRAL ASIA AS A PRIORITY GEPOLTIC REGION POST-SOVIET SPACE: GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Pototskaya T.I.
Published: January 2024

Russia and the countries of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan) are considered in the article as part of the post-Soviet space, which is argued by their connectedness in the military-political, social, economic spheres and the solution of territorial problems. This conjugation shapes Russia's geopolitical interests in the region. Based on the idea that the properties of the territory affect the policy of the state located on it, the author set the task of identifying those properties of the territory of the countries of the region that influence the formation of Russia's geopolitical interests in it in each of the listed areas. Thus, military-political interests are considered through the prism of countries' membership in the Collective Security Treaty and the Collective Security Treaty Organization; social interests - from the point of view of the processes of de-Russification, economic migration, radicalization of Islam; territorial interests are studied in the context of the conflict that arose after the collapse of the USSR and associated with the need for a legal definition of the passage of state borders (with China, in the Caspian Sea, in the zone of ethnic enclaves); economic interests are considered in many aspects, both in the context of the influence of continentality and transit status of countries on the functioning of transport systems in the region, and in terms of the distribution of Russian direct investment by country and, in general, economic assistance to Russia. Taken together, this made it possible to highlight the geographical factors that determine the significance of the region in Russia's foreign policy and its position in the main document regulating the regional priorities of the country's foreign policy - the "Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation" (2023).

Characterization of domesticated clove ("Syzygium aromaticum") and comparison with related species
Authors:   , Ouadi Sonia
Published: January 2024

Clove, Syzygium aromaticum, is a valuable spice crop tree belonging to the Myrtaceae family. Its dried, unopened flower buds, essential oil, and oleoresin-rich in eugenol, are used commercially in a broad range of industries. Despite its economic importance and the promising therapeutic potential of eugenol, little -omics information was available for fundamental and applied research on clove. A reference genome is an important tool for the advancement of plant biology research and crop improvement programs. In this thesis, the clove genome was sequenced, assembled at the chromosome level and subsequently analysed using comparative genomics and multi-omics approaches to investigate clove genome evolution and the genetic basis of eugenol biosynthesis. In addition, the genome assemblies of Syzygium malaccense (430 Mb), Syzygium aqueum (392 Mb), Syzygium jambos (426 Mb), and Syzygium syzygioides (431 Mb) were constructed and compared to the genome assemblies of clove (370 Mb), Syzygium grande (405 Mb) and their Myrtaceae relative Eucalyptus grandis (690 Mb) to provide further genomic insights into the evolution of Syzygium genomes. By analysing the clove genome assembly and sets of transcriptomic and metabolomic data from leaves and buds, the key gene families involved in the biosynthesis of the precursor of lignin and phenylpropene volatiles (eugenol, isoeugenol, chavicol) were identified as well as genes possibly involved in the biosynthesis of eugenol. On the basis of this multi -omics study, we hypothesized that eugenol acetate may play a key role in the high accumulation of eugenol in clove leaves and buds. Fewer genes were found in the newly assembled Syzygium genomes (1 to 3) than in clove (15) to encode for putative eugenol synthase—a key enzyme in the eugenol biosynthetic pathway—suggesting that this copy number variation may be involved in the high content in eugenol of clove. Synteny analyses revealed a high conservation of the chromosomal organization of the 6 Syzygium species studied and intrachromosomal rearrangements on 7 of the 11 chromosomes, between the Syzygium species and E. grandis. This new set of Syzygium genomes is a valuable contribution to genomics resources for the Myrtaceae family, and especially to the Syzygium genus, the world’s most species-rich tree genus. Moreover, the availability of the clove reference genome opens new perspectives for applied research aiming to optimize clove production.

Authors: Rosita Yesy Diah , Moonlight Lady Silk
Published: January 2024

In the ever-changing landscape of the global economy, the role of the United States Dollar (USD) as the backbone of the international financial system significantly influences market stability and dynamics. The close correlation between fluctuations in the USD exchange rate and internal and external factors demands effective prediction methods to understand and manage associated risks. This study aims to compare the performance of three main prediction methods: Single Exponential Smoothing (SES), Holt's Method, and Holt-Winters Method, in forecasting USD exchange rates. Utilizing historical data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and testing under three training data distribution scenarios (45%, 55%, and 75%), this research provides in-depth findings on the strengths and weaknesses of each prediction method. Performance evaluations include the time required, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), R-Squared, and correlation for the implementation of each method. If averaged, the results are as follows for SES, Holt’s, and Holt’s Winter, respectively: SES (1.58; 284.20; 68,768.26; 440.07; 0.03; -2.12; Nan), Holt’s (1.39; 890.23; 426,377.44; 1,043.28; 0.06; -24.28; -0.66), and Holt’s Winter (1.20; 997.45; 513,657.58; 1,168.00; 0.07; -30.62; -1.55). Overall, this indicates that the Holt-Winters Method stands out with significant performance, especially in scenarios with larger training data distributions, with a low R-Squared value (-4.618) and satisfactory correlation (0.417). Holt's Method also shows improved accuracy, while Single Exponential Smoothing (SES) offers time efficiency, albeit with limitations in explaining data variations. In conclusion, this research provides valuable guidance for business stakeholders, investors, and policymakers in selecting prediction methods suitable for their data characteristics and analysis goals, with the potential for a positive impact on business strategies, competitiveness, and risk management amid the uncertainty of USD exchange rate fluctuations.

Over the years, the preparation method chosen for the preparation of cellulose reinforced nylon or polyamide (PA) composites has proven to be critical in determining the overall properties of the composites. For example, melt processing of cellulose reinforced nylon or PA composites presents challenges, such as (i) irreversible hornification of cellulose material upon drying, before melt processing; (ii) non-uniform dispersion or distribution of cellulose in the polymer matrix; (iii) thermal degradation of cellulose at elevated temperatures and (iv) structural integrity (fibrillation) and shortening of cellulose upon mechanical shearing during melt processing. All these challenges have the potential to compromise the overall properties of the prepared composites. In order to circumvent these challenges, several techniques have been used. For example, hornification, can be overcome by using a technique called wet feeding. Thermal degradation can be overcome by coating cellulose materials via either chemical or physical wrapping with a macromolecule or surfactant. The thermal degradation of cellulose can also be prevented by using in situ polymerization of PA via the ring opening polymerization technique during the manufacture of cellulose reinforced nylon composites, as well as solvent casting in formic acid/water mixtures. The incorporation of up to 50 wt% cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) in PA nanocomposites via solvent casting improved elastic modulus by 64% and tensile strength by 62%. The aim of this manuscript is to review preparation techniques of low cost, high strength composites using cellulose fibers and engineering plastics like polyamides (PAs, nylons).

This study discusses the implementation of regional head elections in Indonesia which took place during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study focuses on explaining the high level of voter turnout when Covid-19 hit Indonesia in 2020 which exceeded the turnout rate in normal situations and contrary to the trend of declining global voter turnout. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with secondary data obtained from official government institutions (especially the election commission and Ministry of Health), mass media both newspapers and other social media, as well as the results of research conducted by other researchers. The results showed that the high level of voter turnout during the Covid-19 pandemic was an anomaly of democracy in the midst of activity restrictions and the trend of declining global voter turnout. The high voter turnout during the Covid-19 pandemic was inversely proportional to the economic downturn and public confidence in government. This study found that the main factor for increasing voter turnout during the Covid-19 pandemic was the massive mobilization of social assistance funds from the government. Theoretically, this is a synthesis of the mobilization model and the general incentives model of participation in a pragmatic context.
Exploring the influence of financial technology on banking services in Nigeria
Authors: Otonne Adewumi , Ige Olaoluwa Tosin
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This study explored the impact of fintech on Nigerian banking services.
Research methodology: This study employed a quantitative research approach, analyzing data from the financial statements of selected Nigerian banks, and financial technology application statistics through econometric modelling and descriptive analysis.
Results: The study found that Fintech positively impacts Nigerian banks' traditional and market-based performance measures. For example, statistically, a 1 per cent increase in ATM transactions could increase banks' earnings per share by up to N4 on average. This implies that fintech adoption in the Nigerian financial system can increase efficiency, reduce costs, improve the customer experience, and enhance financial inclusion.
Limitations: This study had several limitations, such as the unavailability of data for some banks and the limited timeframe due to data unavailability.
Contribution: This study contributes to the growing body of literature on fintech in emerging markets by providing insights into Nigeria’s evolving fintech landscape and its potential impact on traditional banking services.
Novelty: This study is one of the first to investigate the impact of fintech on Nigerian banking services based on selected case studies and the quantitative research approach employed. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, regulators, and industry practitioners seeking to promote a conducive environment for fintech growth in Nigeria’s banking sector.
Accounting undergraduates’ perspectives on integrating forensic accounting into the curriculum in Sri Lanka
Authors: Seneviratne S M Chaturika , Dharmasena S. D. Thamali Navangana
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This study examines the current level of forensic accounting education in Sri Lanka and its level of sufficiency from the viewpoint of accounting undergraduates studying in Sri Lankan government universities.
Research methodology: Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire targeting third and fourth-year accounting undergraduates of Sri Lankan government universities. To achieve the research objectives, descriptive statistics were used as analytical tools.
Results: The study revealed that existing auditing course modules and stand-alone forensic accounting course units do not adequately cover forensic accounting topics in response to the rising demand for forensic accountants' services in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan government universities are required to restructure the integration of forensic accounting education with greater coverage. Moreover, as per accounting undergraduates, the precise method of covering forensic accounting within accounting education would be to introduce a separate degree program that covers all forensic accounting discussions.
Limitations: The main limitation of this study is that it focuses only on the perspectives of government university undergraduates. Perceptions of accounting undergraduates in private universities and professional qualification institutions that offer accounting degree programs were not considered.
Contribution: This study provides insights for university administrators on how to integrate forensic accounting into the accounting curriculum. Moreover, the suggested modifications will provide undergraduates with the skills required to practice forensic accounting after graduation.
